(bbbb) Timeshare Interval Measurement Principles. The parties wish to provide for maximum flexibility to the Developer in determining, from time to time, the best and most efficient method for marketing and selling Timeshare Intervals in the Timeshare Project. The parties also wish to describe, with as much clarity as possible, the net effect hereunder of cancellations, rescissions and other terminations of consumer contracts to purchase Timeshare Intervals in the Timeshare Project. To that end, any reference herein to Timeshare Intervals, 100 Percent Sell-Out, Fully Sold Project, Interval Sales, Net Interval Sales and similar or related terms and concepts shall be interpreted in the context of the following principles.
(1) Fully Sold Project (and related terms) and 100 Percent Sell-Out and related and/or similarly described terms shall not be achieved unless at least the Minimum Project Density has been achieved, in accordance with the Unit Count Example.
(2) Timeshare Intervals shall be determined on the basis of 52 weeks worth of Timeshare Intervals per Timeshare Unit per year. Nevertheless, Developer may sell Timeshare Intervals in increments of less than one week and more than one week and/or on the basis of less than the entirety of a Timeshare Unit and/or may sell Timeshare Intervals for other than annual use (i.e., biannual use or other similarly split use). Any determination of Interval Sales, Net Interval Sales, Fully Sold Project, 100 Percent Sell-Out and similar or related terms and concepts shall be adjusted to reflect the foregoing.
(3) Determinations of Interval Sales, Net Interval Sales, Fully Sold Project, 100 Percent Sell-Out and similar or related terms and concepts shall be made on a “net” basis, in accordance with the Timeshare Measurement Principles and, only for the purpose of determining whether and when a sale has occurred and for such other purposes as shall not be in conflict with the Timeshare Interval Measurement Principles, GAAP; and any applicable benchmark or level of performance shall not have occurred if any Timeshare Interval necessary for occurrence of such benchmark or level of performance has been returned or recovered for any reason (e.g., cancellation of sale by consumer, foreclosure on Timeshare Interval by Developer or Developer’s factor) and remains unsold and part of the Timeshare Project inventory for resale to a bona fide third-party consumer purchaser.
(4) Within the Timeshare Interval Measurement Principles, references to Timeshare Units (or, if applicable, “keys”) shall be deemed to refer to Timeshare Units (or “keys”) actually constructed, but the foregoing shall not affect the requirements herein pertaining to Minimum Project Density.
(cccc) Timeshare Project: A single-phase or multi-phased (as provided herein) timeshare development on the Timeshare Property, in accordance with this Agreement (see, e.g., Section 9) and the final Complex Standards, complying with the Minimum Project Density, and with amenities for all Timeshare Units, to be developed and constructed by the Developer pursuant to this Agreement and subjected to a timeshare plan or regime pursuant to the Timeshare Documents. The Timeshare Project may also include other facilities customarily contained in a timeshare development, but, with the exception of check-in facilities and swimming pool, which Developer may in its discretion construct at its cost as part of the Timeshare Project for use by occupants of the Timeshare Project,
9
such other facilities at the Timeshare Project shall not include any amenities offered by Seller at the Hotel/Casino Property, including but not limited to gaming, conventions, hotel use (including facilities developed for hotel use as well as hotel use of Timeshare Units as provided herein), food and beverage, retail, entertainment (live or otherwise) and other recreational facilities.
Whether or not the entire number of expected Timeshare Units is ultimately constructed, each dwelling accommodation constructed at the Timeshare Property shall be deemed for all purposes hereunder to be a Timeshare Unit and part of the Timeshare Project.
The Timeshare Project does not include any right of the Developer to any use of or payment associated with any activity at or about or associated with the Complex other than development and marketing of Timeshare Intervals, such as, but not limited to, gaming, conventions, hotel use (including facilities developed for hotel use as well as hotel use of Timeshare Units as provided herein), food and beverage, retail and entertainment.
(dddd) Timeshare Property: The portion of the Complex to be transferred to the Developer in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and upon which Developer shall construct at least one thousand (1,000) Timeshare Units, and no fewer than two thousand (2,000) keys, in one-, two-, three- and/or four-bedroom “lockout” units, and such improvements thereon actually constructed thereon from time to time, together with all other rights, privileges and easements appurtenant to such Timeshare Property, whether or not recorded.
(eeee) Timeshare Sales Premiums: See Section 15.
(ffff) Timeshare Unit: Each dwelling unit developed at the Timeshare Property, which is divided into separate timeshare use periods. Any dwelling unit at the Timeshare Property in which a door or doors connecting two or more separate rooms capable of being locked to create two or more private dwellings (i.e., each one-, two-, three- and/or four-bedroom “lockout” unit) shall constitute only one Timeshare Unit, subject, nevertheless, to the Unit Count Example and other applicable provisions of this Agreement. Developer may designate one or more portions of any such “lockout” unit as separate Timeshare Units (so that such “lockout” unit is thereby considered two or more Timeshare Units) for the purpose of measuring Interval Sales and Net Interval Sales and for the purpose of calculating Marketing Fees and other related purposes under this Agreement, but not for the purpose of measuring compliance with the Minimum Project Density requirement or for other construction or related purposes under this Agreement.
(gggg) Timeshare Unit Vacancy: A Timeshare Unit, or, in the case of a lock-out unit, a separately keyed portion of a Timeshare Unit, which is completed and available for occupancy, but which is not actually occupied or reserved or sold for actual occupancy as to the week or night or other period of time in question. Timeshare Unit Vacancies may include, among other things, Timeshare Units returned or recovered for any reason (e.g., cancellation of sale by consumer, foreclosure on Timeshare Interval by Developer or Developer’s factor) and remain unsold and part of the Timeshare Project inventory for resale to a bona fide third-party consumer. See also Section 18.
10
(hhhh) Title Commitment: Any title insurance commitment or title report or other title information regarding the Timeshare Property obtained or requested by Developer from the Title Company at Developer’s sole cost and expense pursuant to the provisions of Section 8(a).
(iiii) Title Company: First American Title Insurance Company, or such other nationally recognized title insurance company designated by Developer and approved by Seller, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
(jjjj) Title Objections: Any matters of title arising in the Title Commitment which may materially and adversely affect Developer’s intended purpose for the Timeshare Property, as determined by Developer in its reasonable discretion, and to which Developer objects pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
(kkkk) Unit Count Example: The following example illustrates the parties’ understanding of the number of Timeshare Units and number of separately keyed dwelling spaces (also referred to as separate “keys”) to be built by the Developer in the Timeshare Project in accordance with this Agreement, and how the Developer’s construction of “lockout” units (see above definition of Timeshare Units) affects the unit count and key count for purpose of measuring the Developer’s liabilities and obligations hereunder:
(1) If the Developer builds, in accordance with this Agreement, a total of 1,000 Timeshare Units, each of which is a two-bedroom “lockout” unit, for a total of 2,000 keys, then the Developer shall have complied with its obligations concerning Minimum Project Density.
(2) If the Developer builds, in accordance with this Agreement, at least 1,000 Timeshare Units, but does not include a sufficient number of two-, three- and/or four-bedroom “lockout” units in order to achieve a total of at least 2,000 keys, then the Developer shall not have complied with its obligations concerning Minimum Project Density.
(3) If the Developer builds, in accordance with this Agreement, in the first phase as and to the extent provided for herein, at least 500 Timeshare Units and includes in such phase a sufficient number of two-, three- and/or four-bedroom “lockout” units in order to achieve a total of at least 1,000 keys, then the Developer shall have completed its construction obligations concerning the first phase of the Timeshare Project.
(4) If the Developer builds, in accordance with this Agreement, in the first phase as and to the extent provided for herein, at least 500 Timeshare Units, but does not include in such phase a sufficient number of two-, three- and/or four-bedroom “lockout” units in order to achieve a total of at least 1,000 keys, then the Developer shall not have completed its construction obligations concerning the first phase of the Timeshare Project.
The foregoing is by way of example only and is only for the purpose of demonstrating the manner in which Timeshare Units are to be counted in connection with measuring Developer’s compliance with its construction obligations. Notwithstanding this Unit Count Example, the Timeshare Project is subject to the reversion or perpetual easement
11
described in Section 9(g) and other specifically applicable provisions hereof, but only to the extent therein stated.
(llll) Vacation Ownership Sales: Refer to definition of Interval Sales.
(mmmm) Westgate License Fee: Defined in Section 10(g).
(nnnn) Zoning and Land Use Assessment: Any review or investigation of the Existing Permitting and Zoning Approvals or other similar data for the Timeshare Property obtained or requested by Developer at its sole cost and expense pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.
(oooo) Zoning and Land Use Objections: Any matters relating to zoning and land use classifications arising from the Zoning and Land Use Assessment which may materially and adversely impair Developer’s intended purpose for the Timeshare Property, as determined by Developer in its reasonable discretion, and to which Developer objects pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The fact or circumstance that the Timeshare Property, prior to action by Developer and/or Seller and/or others in connection with the Design/Approval Process, is not and/or may not be zoned and/or otherwise approved by applicable governmental zoning and permitting authorities to allow Developer’s intended purpose for the Timeshare Property, shall not constitute a Zoning and Land Use Objection. The preceding sentence shall not prevent Developer or Seller from relying upon any rezoning or other land use approval undertaken as part of the Design/Approval Process (see Section 5) as a condition precedent to Developer’s or Seller’s obligations pertinent to Closing or Deed Delivery.
2. Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell the Timeshare Property to Developer and Developer agrees to purchase the Timeshare Property from Seller for the Purchase Price.
3. Purchase Price; Advances.
(a) The Purchase Price shall be paid by timely payment of the Marketing Fee provided for in the Marketing and Leasing Agreement and as provided in Section 4 below. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the parties agree that the Purchase Price, for the purpose of calculating any transfer tax or recordation tax or similar payment, and for related purposes such as allocations among land, improvements, fixtures and personalty, and for any reporting purposes, is $35,000,000, subject to confirmation by a definitive appraisal expected by the Closing Date, which amount is consistent with the allocation assigned to the Timeshare Property pursuant to the PSA.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 4 below or the provisions of the Marketing and Leasing Agreement, Developer agrees to pay Seller the following annual advances (“Timeshare Advances”) against the Marketing Fee to be earned by Seller.
(i) $3,500,000 for Year 1 (see Section 4(d) for designation of applicable years); and
(ii) $4,500,000 for Year 2; and
(iii) $6,000,000 for Year 3 and for each year thereafter until 100 Percent Sell-Out.
12
Timeshare Advances, in accordance with the above allocation, shall be paid on a monthly basis, in arrears, as provided in Section 4 below for payment of Marketing Fees, with the first Marketing Fee Period (defined below) commencing on the PH Sales Commencement Date and expiring on the last day of the month in which the PH Sales Commencement Date occurs. At the end of each quarter (i.e., as of each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31), the Timeshare Advance for such quarter will be added to all the previous Timeshare Advances and compared to the Marketing Fees earned and paid from inception. As of the end of each quarter,
(1) if Seller is due Marketing Fees in excess of Timeshare Advances received to date, Developer shall pay said shortfall within thirty (30) days of the end of each quarter, and
(2) if Seller has received Timeshare Advances in excess of Marketing Fees earned to date, then no Marketing Fees shall be due thereafter, until the aggregate amount of all Marketing Fees earned exceed aggregate amount of all Timeshare Advances paid, in which case Developer shall again be obligated to pay, as provided above, both the scheduled Timeshare Advances provided for in Section 3(b) plus the excess of Marketing Fees earned over said scheduled Timeshare Advances; provided, however, in any event, Developer shall be obligated to pay the scheduled Timeshare Advances provided for in Section 3(b) even if such payments of scheduled Timeshare Advances in the aggregate exceed Marketing Fees earned to date.
In the event of an act occasioned exclusively by forces of nature, terrorism or war within the continental United States outside the reasonable control of Developer and which materially impacts the Project, the parties shall negotiate in good faith whether and to what extent there shall be adjustments of the Timeshare Advances.
(c) All payments in under or in connection with this Agreement, whether of the Purchase Price or otherwise, shall be in current funds or by wire transfer to or at the direction of Seller, which may include, in accordance with Seller’s lending covenants, the direction of such amounts to separate parent, subsidiary or affiliated entities including, with out limitation, causing such payments to be made to accounts controlled by or under common control with the Seller’s lenders.
(d) In order to secure Developer’s duty to pay Timeshare Advances and Marketing Fees and other amounts payable under or in connection with this Agreement, Developer shall
(1) at Deed Delivery, deliver to Seller a letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”), in form and substance as set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto (or to be attached hereto, in accordance with the Documentation Schedule) and incorporated herein by reference, issued by a commercial bank the commercial paper of which is rated “A” or higher by Standard & Poor’s Corporation. The Letter of Credit shall be issued in a face amount of $6,000,000, with an initial term of one (1) year, and shall be renewed annually with a face amount of $6,000,000 until the date which is six (6) years following the Closing Date; failure of Developer to provide for a renewal or acceptable substitute Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to its then-stated expiration shall entitle the Seller to draw upon said Letter of Credit in full ten (10) days prior to its then-stated expiration; and
(2) at Closing, establish an escrow account, at a federally insured bank or savings institution with assets of at least $100 million, from which escrow account withdrawals are permitted to be made only by or with the express prior written approval of the Seller in each
13
instance, into which Developer shall deposit such amounts as are required herein and in the Escrow Agreement. The amounts required to be deposited in said escrow account are equal to and not exceeding 10 percent of the gross purchase price of each Timeshare Interval sold by Developer in accordance with the Marketing and Leasing Agreement (including, where applicable, timeshare intervals in timeshare projects other than the Timeshare Project to the extent marketed by Developer at the Complex). The form and substance of the Escrow Agreement for said escrow account is set forth in Exhibit O which is (or shall be, in accordance with the Documentation Schedule) attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
(e) The marketing and use leases and easements described in Section 13 are included as part of the Timeshare Property for purpose of determining the Purchase Price.
(f) The Developer shall not be required to pay Marketing Fees or Timeshare Advances after the Seller has received, in the aggregate, payments of Marketing Fees totaling, in the aggregate, the Aggregate Maximum Marketing Fee Amount. For the purpose hereof, the “Aggregate Maximum Marketing Fee Amount” is the product of the following:
(52) x TCI x TCIP x 10%
where “TCI” means the total number of Timeshare Intervals (determined in accordance with the Timeshare Interval Measurement Principles) corresponding to the total number of Timeshare Units actually constructed in the Timeshare Project, but not less than 1,000 Timeshare Units containing in the aggregate not less than 2,000 “keys”; and “TCIP” means the actual purchase price charged to and paid by or on behalf of purchasers of Timeshare Intervals of all TCIs.
(g) If, after completion of construction of the last Phase of the Timeshare Project constructed by Developer, Developer’s remaining inventory of unsold Timeshare Intervals as of the first day of any year is materially less than an amount which, if 100 Percent Sell-Out were to occur in such year, would generate aggregate Marketing Fees for such year in an amount materially less than the aggregate monthly Timeshare Advances prescribed to be paid for such year in accordance with Subsection (b) above, then the parties the parties shall negotiate in good faith the extent to which there shall be adjustments of the Timeshare Advances for such year to reflect said remaining inventory.
4. Marketing Fee.
(a) For so long as the Marketing and Leasing Agreement (see Section 12) remains in effect, and continuing thereafter until 100 Percent Sell-Out, Developer shall pay a marketing fee (the “Marketing Fee”) in an amount equal to nine percent (9%) of the Net Interval Sales made by Developer of Timeshare Intervals in the Timeshare Project (including, where applicable, timeshare intervals in timeshare projects other than the Timeshare Project to the extent marketed at the Complex, as and to the extent permitted pursuant to this Agreement), in accordance with the Timeshare Interval Measurement Principles. The Marketing Fee shall be paid in arrears by Developer to Seller on a monthly basis (the “Marketing Fee Period”) not later than the 20th day following the last day of the most recently expired Marketing Fee Period, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more bank accounts as designated by Seller, and in connection with such payment, Developer shall provide to Seller a reasonably detailed itemized statement of the cumulative Net Interval Sales made by Developer for such Marketing Fee Period. Said itemized statement shall be in the format set forth in Exhibit L attached hereto (or to be attached hereto, in accordance with the Documentation Schedule) and
14
incorporated herein by reference, with such adjustments, additions and refinements as may be mutually agreed to by the Seller and Developer from time to time.
(b) Seller shall be responsible for obtaining all licenses and/or permits as may be required under applicable law to receive the Marketing Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment of Timeshare Advances and/or Marketing Fees shall be withheld or delayed or denied in the event any required license or permit is not obtained, but, rather, any such payment shall be deposited in escrow with the Title Company and disbursed by the Title Company to the Seller as soon as any such required license or permit has been obtained. If any such escrow remains in place for more than sixty (60) days, Seller and Developer shall in good faith negotiate an alternative payment arrangement giving Seller the same net economic result as payment of Timeshare Advances and Marketing Fees as provided for herein.
(c) It is acknowledged and agreed that the Marketing Fee shall also cover the consideration for all permitted kiosks, leases and marketing efforts in the Complex. See Sections 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16below.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is the intention of the parties that the Marketing Fee shall be calculated and paid based upon Net Interval Sales, which shall be reconciled and determined on quarterly and annual bases until the Marketing Fee has been paid in full, with the first year commencing as of the day Developer commences sales of Timeshare Intervals (i.e., on the PH Sales Commencement Date) and ending on the last day of the twelfth month thereafter. Each successive year shall commence on the first succeeding day and end on the last day of the twelfth month thereafter. For payments due to the Seller for periods prior to the commencement of the first year (i.e., prior to the PH Sales Commencement Date), see Section 12(c) and other applicable provisions of this Agreement.
(e) The aggregate Marketing Fee to be paid by Developer shall be determined on a “net” basis in accordance with the Timeshare Interval Measurement Principles.
(f) Simultaneously with delivery to Developer’s lenders for the Timeshare Project and other providers of funds for the Timeshare Project, but no less often than quarterly, with annual summarization, Developer shall deliver to Seller, for reliance by Seller, financial and other reports identical to the reports prepared for said lenders and other providers of funds, covering the just-ended quarter and the year-to-date period, for Developer and, where applicable, any and all entities with which Developer may be consolidated for reporting and/or audit and/or tax purposes; provided, however, Developer shall not be required to disclose to Seller specific information pertinent to that business of the Developer which is not related directly to the Timeshare Project. If necessary, said deliveries to Seller shall include supplemental information to demonstrate and verify calculation and payment of Marketing Fees and Timeshare Advances and determination of Net Interval Sales for the period(s) in question. Seller in its reasonable discretion may require any one or more of said reports and/or other books and records of Seller to be audited, for Seller’s benefit, by independent third-party certified public accountants acceptable to Seller. Any such audit shall be at Seller’s expense unless the audit identifies a Marketing Fee discrepancy equal to or greater than 2 percent of any Marketing Fees payable for any covered period, in which event the audit in question shall be at Developer’s expense. Any such reports and any such audits shall be subject to reasonable confidentiality requirements for the protection of Developer.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4, Marketing Fees payable to Seller shall be reduced by the amount of Shore Up or Operating Expenses
15
actually paid by Developer, together with interest thereon at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, but the Timeshare Advance payments described in Section 3 above shall not, in any event, be reduced below the minimums described in said Section. The amount of any such reduction not effected due to the minimum Timeshare Advance requirement of Section 3 shall be available to be effected in any subsequent year, if and to the extent Marketing Fees in such year exceed the applicable minimum.
(h) Of the nine percent (9%) Marketing Fee payable to Seller, Seller upon actual receipt shall direct that (1) fifty percent (50%) shall be deposited into a securities account in the name of MezzCo LLC with Xxxxx Fargo Bank NA established under the Collateral Account Agreement as provided in the Mezzanine Lender Agreements, and (2) fifty percent (50%) shall be deposited into an account securing the Senior Lenders as provided in the Senior Lender Agreements.
5. Pre-Closing.
(a) Design/Approval Process. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is acknowledged that prior to commencing construction and as part of its efforts to obtain financing, Developer and Seller must among other things complete and execute this Agreement and all the related agreements described herein. In addition, Developer must complete the design and planning of the Timeshare Project and obtain all required governmental approvals (herein referred to as the “Design/Approval Process”). The parties acknowledge that the Developer shall incur substantial expense in connection with the Design/Approval Process and since Seller and Developer cannot close hereunder unless closing first occurs under the PSA, the Developer does not wish to incur expenses in connection with the Design/Approval Process until such time. Accordingly, Seller and Developer agree that the Design/Approval Process will not, except as provided below, commence until the closing under the PSA and the Effective Date of this Agreement.

(xiii) All existing plans and specifications for the Complex; and
(xiv) Any updated/revised title and/or survey materials arising from Seller’s closing on the PSA; and
17
(xv) Any of Seller’s occupancy projections pertaining to the Hotel/Casino Property and the Timeshare Project to the extent relevant to Developer’s financial and sales projections for the Timeshare Project; and
(xvi) Any other documents reasonably requested by Developer relating to the development, sale, rental or management of the Timeshare Project.
Seller shall supplement each such delivery of records and documents during the term of this Agreement within a reasonable period following Developer’s request therefor in the event that additional items arise or become available to Seller, or in the event that any of the foregoing is amended or modified.
(e) Pre-Closing Deliveries by Developer. Developer shall deliver to Seller, as soon as practical, but in any event prior to Closing hereunder, to the extent within Developer’s custody and control, all records and documents (or copies of such records and documents) concerning the Timeshare Property, including but not limited to the following:
(i) The results of Developer’s analysis and investigation of the Timeshare Property and the feasibility of the Timeshare Project, including but not limited to drawings, surveys, specifications, engineering reports, and all reports, documents, analyses, memoranda, letters, summaries and work papers relating to Environmental Matters concerning the Timeshare Property and physical condition of the land and any improvements now existing on the Timeshare Property; and

18

(i) Following execution of this Agreement and prior to Closing hereunder, Developer shall have the right to evaluate the Timeshare Property, subject to the PSA (including but not limited to the provisions of the PSA which govern Seller’s access to the Complex and any portion thereof). At a minimum Developer shall obtain a Title Commitment (see Section 6 below) and a Survey (same) and also shall conduct an Environmental Assessment and a Zoning and Land Use Assessment. Developer in its discretion may also evaluate, among other things,
(i) suitability of physical characteristics of the Timeshare Property; and

6. City Block Covenants &
Senior Lender Agreements;
Senior Lender Approvals; Access to Timeshare Property.
(a) (1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other document or agreement, this Agreement, the Seller’s obligations to the Developer and the Developer’s rights under this Agreement and/or under any other related document or agreement are subject to and limited by the City Block Covenants. The City Block Covenants include but are not limited to a Reciprocal Easement Agreement (as modified and/or affected by letter agreement dated June 20, 2003), a Common Area Access Agreement and a Shared Parking Agreement (aka Parking Use Agreement), all of which define, govern and limit access to the City Block Properties and provide for payment by the owners of the City Block Properties of common area maintenance (“CAM”) and similar payments. The City Block Covenants also include agreements, binding on the City Block Properties and the owners thereof, pertaining to use of and payment for utilities generated by the utility plant on the Northwind Property, including payments designated to repay debt incurred to acquire and build said utility plant.
(2) It shall be a condition to Deed Delivery, as provided in Section 25(a)(viii), that the owner of the Mall Property, aka Desert Passage Shopping Center (aka/fka Aladdin Bazaar) (Boulevard Investments), shall have given, in form and substance satisfactory to Developer in its reasonable discretion, by the REA Approval Deadline, as same may be extended, all necessary approvals required of said owner pursuant to the Reciprocal Easement Agreement, as modified and/or affected by letter agreement dated June 20, 2003, for the Timeshare Project, except as provided in Paragraph (3) below. For the purpose hereof, the “REA Approval Deadline” shall be the date which is the later to occur of (i) April 1, 2005, or (ii) the date which is ninety (90) days following the Closing Date; and Seller may extend the REA Approval Deadline for successive periods of thirty (30) days, in which event each such extension shall cause all corresponding deadlines applicable to Seller or Developer to be extended for identical periods of time.
(3) Notwithstanding Paragraph (2) above or any other provision of this Agreement or of any other document or agreement, it shall not be a condition to Deed Delivery that Seller provide access through the Mall Property as described in Subsection (c) below or that the owner of the Mall Property give any other approval related to said access, and any failure of Developer to obtain said access or any other approval related to said access shall not excuse any performance required of Developer hereunder.
(4) If the owner of the Mall Property requires, as a condition to one or more of the approvals described in Paragraph (2), modifications to the scope or scale of the Timeshare Project as described herein, then Seller shall reimburse Developer for the Developer’s actual costs in revising the Plans to accommodate such required modifications.
(5) If the owner of the Mall Property disapproves Developer as the timeshare developer described in the letter agreement dated June 20, 2003 (see Paragraph (2) above); or if the owner of the Mall Property disapproves construction of at least 800 Timeshare Units containing at least 1,600 “keys” in the Timeshare Project as provided for in this Agreement; or if the owner of the Mall Property requires changes in Developer’s plans and schedule for the Timeshare Project and/or fails to give any required approval that, in either case, materially and
20
adversely affect(s) Developer’s ability to finance the construction of the Timeshare Project, Developer’s ability to obtain Xxxxx County permits required for construction of the Timeshare Project, Developer’s cost to construct the Timeshare Project, Developer’s scheduling and/or phasing plans for the construction of the Timeshare Project; or if the owner of the Mall Property proximately causes Xxxxx County to disapprove construction of at least 800 Timeshare Units containing at least 1,600 “keys” in the Timeshare Project as provided for in this Agreement – provided, in each case, that Developer in good faith diligently pursues and exhausts all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary approvals from the owner of the Mall Property and/or to develop commercially reasonable alternative(s) – then a condition to Deed Delivery shall not have been satisfied, in which event Developer shall not be liable for liquidated damages under Section 26(c) for any breach, violation, default or failure hereunder which arises proximately from Seller’s said inability.
(6) If the Timeshare Project contains fewer than 1,000 Timeshare Units consisting of at least 2,000 “keys” but does contain at least 800 Timeshare Units containing at least 1,600 “keys” as a consequence of Paragraph (5) above, then the provisions of this Agreement pertaining to Minimum Project Density and pertaining to the second and any subsequent phase of the Timeshare Project shall be adjusted to reflect the actual number of Timeshare Units and “keys” in the Timeshare Project.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other document or agreement, the parties understand and acknowledge that Seller is or may be required to obtain consents and approvals from the Senior Lenders prior to and in connection with, among other things, entering into this Agreement and/or granting any consent or approval to Developer in connection with this Agreement or the Timeshare Project and/or approving any Timeshare Development Agreement and/or any exhibit or schedule to this Agreement. Developer agrees to cooperate with Seller’s reasonable requests and requirements arising from Senior Lender considerations.
(c) Seller shall make commercially reasonable efforts to provide for vehicular and/or pedestrian access to the Timeshare Property via the Mall Property, aka Desert Passage Shopping Center (aka/fka Aladdin Bazaar) (Boulevard Investments), and/or via other routes, whether or not now existing. The configuration of such access, and the Seller’s and Developer’s respective responsibilities with respect thereto (including but not limited to rights of access and payment of costs) shall be mutually agreed during the Design/Approval Process (or later if applicable). Developer acknowledges that Seller’s initial actions to comply with its obligations in this Subsection (c) shall be solely pursuant to the City Block Covenants. In the event Seller is unable to so comply solely pursuant to the City Block Covenants, then Seller shall take commercially reasonable steps to so comply pursuant to other mutually agreed means, with costs of compliance to be allocated as mutually agreed between Seller and Developer.
(d) (1) Seller shall provide and make available to the Developer those parking spaces to which Seller is entitled pursuant to the City Block Covenants, including the Shared Parking Agreement (aka Parking Use Agreement), after subtracting therefrom those parking spaces required by Seller for its operations at the Hotel/Casino Property. Seller shall pass through to Developer, without fee or markup, and Developer shall pay, all costs and fees payable from time to time for or in connection with the parking spaces so provided and made available to the Developer as aforesaid (the “Parking Fee”). Seller shall provide written confirmation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Developer, of the number of parking spaces so provided pursuant to the City Block Covenants.
21
(2) If Seller, after exhausting all commercially reasonable efforts, is unable, pursuant to the City Block Covenants as aforesaid, to provide and make available to Developer the entire number of parking spaces required by Developer pursuant to applicable legal requirements to develop the Timeshare Project (the “Parking Requirement”), but if Seller is able to so provide and make available to Developer at least 600 parking spaces, then, to the extent of the shortfall, Developer shall construct parking facilities serving the Timeshare Project on the Timeshare Property at Developer’s cost, in which event Developer shall be entitled to
(A) reimbursement of allocable construction loan interest, as provided in Section 18(b), for parking facilities so constructed to meet said shortfall, but said reimbursement shall be available only to the extent the Parking Requirement does not exceed 800 parking spaces; and
(B) a monthly cost recovery payment for parking facilities so constructed to meet said shortfall, provided that said cost recovery component (which cost recovery component shall be treated as part of the Parking Fee for the purpose of the definition of Operating Costs) shall be available only to the extent the Parking Requirement does not exceed 800 parking spaces; and provided further that the sum of said cost recovery component, plus the reimbursement provided for in clause (A) above, shall not exceed, in any event, the monthly Parking Fee described in Paragraph (d)(1) above;
provided, however, that the aforesaid 800 parking space limitation shall be increased to the extent (but only to the extent) that construction of the convention center space, provided for in Section 9(h) of this Agreement, causes the Parking Requirement to increase.
(3) If Seller, after exhausting all commercially reasonable efforts, is unable, pursuant to the City Block Covenants as aforesaid, to provide and make available to Developer at least 600 parking spaces, as set forth in Paragraph (2) above, then
(A) a condition to Deed Delivery shall not have been satisfied, in which event Developer shall not be liable for liquidated damages under Section 26(c) for any breach, violation, default or failure hereunder which arises proximately from Seller’s said inability; provided, however, that said inability shall not be grounds for Developer to terminate its obligations under this Agreement; and
(B) Seller shall reimburse Developer for the Developer’s actual costs in revising the Plans to provide parking for the Timeshare Project to the extent of the shortfall; and
(C) all corresponding deadlines applicable to Seller or Developer shall be extended for such reasonable period of time as is necessary to accomplish said revision of the Plans.
(4) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Developer in its sole discretion may elect not to utilize the parking spaces provided and made available by Seller as provided above, in which event Developer shall construct parking facilities serving the Timeshare Project on the Timeshare Property at Developer’s sole cost, but Developer shall nevertheless accept and, as provided herein, pay (or cause to be paid) the Parking Fee for those parking spaces provided and made available by Seller as provided in Paragraph (1) above.
(e) (1) Seller shall provide to Developer, by the REA Approval Deadline, as same may be extended, confirmation, in form and substance satisfactory to the Developer in its
22
reasonable discretion, that, subject to payment of applicable fees, costs and expenses, utilities generated by the utility plant on the Northwind Property will be available to the Timeshare Project.
(2) If Seller, after exhausting all commercially reasonable efforts, is unable to provide the utilities confirmation as aforesaid by the REA Approval Deadline, as same may be extended, then, if alternative means of providing utilities to the Timeshare Project are available on commercially reasonable terms:
(A) Seller shall reimburse Developer for the Developer’s actual costs in revising the Plans to provide alternatively for utilities serving the Timeshare Project; and
(B) all corresponding deadlines applicable to Seller or Developer shall be extended for such reasonable period of time as is necessary to accomplish said revision of the Plans.
7. Title and Survey Matters.
(a) As an accommodation, at Developer’s expense, Seller will make available to Developer, without representation or warranty, copies of any Title Commitment and related materials in Seller’s possession or control pertaining to the Timeshare Property. Within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of said items (but not, in any event, later than December 31, 2004), Developer shall obtain, at Developer’s sole cost and expense, a Title Commitment for the Timeshare Property and such other title information for the Complex and the Hotel/Casino Property as deemed reasonable by Developer.
(b) Developer shall pay the cost of all title insurance charges, premiums and endorsements, including all search, continuation and later-date fees and any and all title related closing fees, attorney fees and expenses, and including the premium for title insurance benefiting Seller in its capacity as holder of the reversionary interest pursuant to Section 9(g) if such title insurance is available, provided Seller shall not be responsible to pay any additional title insurance premium due to the nature of the Seller’s interest being other than that of a mortgagee.
(c) If the Title Commitment reveals any Title Objections, Developer shall notify Seller within five (5) days following the end of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period (but not, in any event, later than December 31, 2004). Prior to Deed Delivery, Seller shall correct any Title Objection which can be corrected solely by payment of money, such that the Timeshare Property shall be free of monetary liens (other than inchoate liens) as of the date of Deed Delivery (see also Section 25(e) which pertains to adjustment and proration of certain items at Deed Delivery). Subject to the PSA, Seller may, but shall have no obligation to, correct any other Title Objections, and in such event Seller shall pay all fees and expenses incurred in correcting any Title Objections, but Seller shall not be obligated to bring suit to do so. If Seller fails to correct any Title Objection, or if Seller notifies Developer that Seller declines to correct any Title Objection, Developer shall either
(i) terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Seller, upon which the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder other than as provided in Section 33; or
(ii) proceed to Closing, and deduct the cost to correct (to be agreed upon by Seller and Developer) or (if no cost is incurred to correct the Title Objection) the resulting diminution in value (to be agreed upon by Seller and Developer), if any, from the Purchase Price by
23
deducting equal amounts from the first four annual Timeshare Advance amounts (i.e., the monthly Timeshare Advance shall be reduced by 1/48 of the aggregate amount of said deduction), in which case said Title Objections shall constitute Permitted Title Matters.
If Developer fails to elect either option (i) or option (ii) above in writing within ten (10) days of written notice from Seller, then the right to elect shall belong to Seller, not Developer.
(d) If Developer does not notify Seller of any potential Title Objections within five (5) days following the end of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period (but not, in any event, later than December 31, 2004), then all matters of title shall constitute Permitted Title Matters.
(e) As an accommodation, at Developer’s expense, Seller will make available to Developer, without representation or warranty, copies of any survey and related materials in Seller’s possession or control pertaining to the Timeshare Property. Within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of said items (but not, in any event, later than December 31, 2004), Developer shall have a Survey of the Timeshare Property prepared by a Nevada licensed surveyor. Developer’s Survey shall be certified to the Title Company, the Seller, the Developer and the Developer’s lender, if applicable, and shall be in such form as the Developer and/or the Title Company may reasonably require or approve. The Survey shall show all encroachments of any improvements onto adjoining properties, easements, set-back lines or rights-of-way, and all encroachments of adjacent improvements onto the Properties. Developer shall pay the cost of the Survey and all updates thereto required by Developer or the Title Company.
(f) If the Survey reveals any Survey Objections, Developer shall notify Seller within five (5) days following the end of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period (but not, in any event, later than December 31, 2004). Subject to the PSA, Seller may, but shall have no obligation to, correct said Survey Objections, and in such event Seller shall pay all fees and expenses incurred in correcting any Survey Objections, but Seller shall not be obligated to bring suit to do so. If Seller fails to correct any Survey Objection, or if Seller notifies Developer that Seller declines to correct any Survey Objection, Developer shall either
(i) terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Seller, upon which the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder other than as provided in Section 33; or
(ii) proceed to Closing, and deduct the cost to correct (to be agreed upon by Seller and Developer) or (if no cost is incurred to correct the Survey Objection) the resulting diminution in value (to be agreed upon by Seller and Developer), if any, from the Purchase Price by deducting equal amounts from the first four annual Timeshare Advance amounts (i.e., the monthly Timeshare Advance shall be reduced by 1/48 of the aggregate amount of said deduction), in which case said Survey Objections shall constitute Permitted Survey Matters.
If Developer fails to elect either option (i) or option (ii) above in writing within ten (10) days of written notice from Seller, then the right to elect shall belong to Seller, not Developer.
(g) If Developer does not notify Seller of any potential Survey Objections within five (5) days following the end of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period (but not, in any event, later than December 31, 2004), then all matters of survey shall constitute Permitted Survey Matters.
24
(h) As the Timeshare Project is being completed (or, if applicable, as each phase is being completed), Developer shall obtain an updated “as built” Survey for the Timeshare Project or applicable phase in order to enable the Title Company to insure the title to the Timeshare Property (or applicable phase) without exceptions for matters of survey and in order to provide final drawings for the timeshare regime.
8. Environmental and Zoning Matters.
(a) As an accommodation, at Developer’s expense, Seller will make available to Developer, without representation or warranty, copies of any environmental assessment and related materials in Seller’s possession or control pertaining to the Timeshare Property. Within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of said items (but not, in any event, later than December 31, 2004), Developer shall obtain and review an Environmental Assessment of the Timeshare Property. Such assessment shall be performed by a duly licensed and reputable environmental engineering company selected by Developer and shall expressly provide that it may be relied upon by Seller. If Developer discovers any matters that constitute Environmental Objections, Developer shall notify Seller within five (5) days following the end of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period (but not, in any event, later than December 31, 2004). Subject to the PSA, Seller may, but shall have no obligation to, correct said Environmental Objections, and in such event Seller shall pay all fees and expenses incurred in correcting any Environmental Objections, but Seller shall not be obligated to bring suit to do so. If Seller fails to correct any Environmental Objection, or if Seller notifies Developer that Seller declines to correct any Environmental Objection, Developer shall either
(i) terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Seller, upon which the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder other than as provided in Section 33; or
(ii) proceed to Closing, and deduct the cost to correct (to be agreed upon by Seller and Developer) or (if no cost is incurred to correct the Environmental Objection) the resulting diminution in value (to be agreed upon by Seller and Developer), if any, from the Purchase Price by deducting equal amounts from the first four annual Timeshare Advance amounts (i.e., the monthly Timeshare Advance shall be reduced by 1/48 of the aggregate amount of said deduction), in which case said Environmental Objections shall constitute Permitted Environmental Matters.
If Developer fails to elect either option (i) or option (ii) above in writing within ten (10) days of written notice from Seller, then the right to elect shall belong to Seller, not Developer.
(b) If Developer does not notify Seller of any potential Environmental Objections within five (5) days following the end of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period (but not, in any event, later than December 31, 2004), then all Environmental Matters shall constitute Permitted Environmental Matters.
(c) During the thirty (30) days following the Effective Date (but not, in any event, later than December 31, 2004), Developer may investigate the Existing Permitting and Zoning Approvals and may verify that all applicable zoning and land use regulations permit the use of the Timeshare Property for Developer’s Timeshare Project (with variances and exceptions, if applicable). If Developer discovers any matters that constitute Zoning and Land Use Objections, Developer shall notify Seller within five (5) days following the end of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period (but not, in any event, later than December 31, 2004). Subject to the PSA, Seller may, but shall have no obligation to, correct said Zoning and Land Use Objections,
25
and in such event Seller shall pay all fees and expenses incurred in correcting any Zoning and Land Use Objections, but Seller shall not be obligated to bring suit to do so. If Seller fails to correct any Zoning and Land Use Objection, or if Seller notifies Developer that Seller declines to correct any Zoning and Land Use Objection, Developer shall either
(i) terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Seller, upon which the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder other than as provided in Section 33; or
(ii) proceed to Closing, and deduct the cost to correct (to be agreed upon by Seller and Developer) or (if no cost is incurred to correct the Zoning and Land Use Objection) the resulting diminution in value (to be agreed upon by Seller and Developer), if any, from the Purchase Price by deducting equal amounts from the first four annual Timeshare Advance amounts (i.e., the monthly Timeshare Advance shall be reduced by 1/48 of the aggregate amount of said deduction), in which case said Zoning and Land Use Objections shall constitute Permitted Zoning and Land Use Matters.
If Developer fails to elect either option (i) or option (ii) above in writing within ten (10) days of written notice from Seller, then the right to elect shall belong to Seller, not Developer.
(d) If Developer does not notify Seller of any potential Zoning and Land Use Objections within five (5) days following the end of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period (but not, in any event, later than December 31, 2004), then all matters of zoning and land use shall constitute Permitted Zoning and Land Use Matters. The preceding sentence applies only to the Timeshare Property as of the Effective Date, and shall not affect the related provisions hereof concerning the Design/Approval Process, as described in Section 5, and the Developer’s conditions to closing and/or Deed Delivery, as provided in Section 25.

(i) If, after Developer has exhausted all commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent that construction financing relative to a one phase Timeshare Project consisting of not fewer than 1,000 Timeshare Units and not fewer than 2,000 keys is unavailable, Developer shall construct the Timeshare Project in two or more phases, the first phase consisting of not fewer than five hundred (500) Timeshare Units and not fewer than 1,000 keys, in accordance with the Unit Count Example. The Developer may in its discretion construct the Timeshare Units in multiple buildings within each phase, and may increase the number of Timeshare Units and number of keys in the first phase; provided, however, in any event there shall be no more than four (4) buildings in total for the Timeshare Project and any one building can contain no fewer than two hundred fifty (250) Timeshare Units and no fewer than 500 keys, in accordance with the Unit Count Example.
(ii) In the event that the Timeshare Project is to be completed in more than one phase as contemplated by this Subsection, Developer agrees that, subject to the conditions set forth herein, Developer shall immediately commence construction of the first phase and, thereafter (following satisfaction of and subject to the conditions set forth in Paragraph (iii) below), immediately commence construction of the second phase (and any subsequent phases) once the revenue generated from the unsold Timeshare Units within such previously commenced phase(s) exceeds:
(A) the maintenance fees owed in connection therewith; and
(B) Operating Costs; and
(C) the current interest expense then due on any construction financing owed by Developer relative thereto
and in any event shall commence construction of the final phase not less than four (4) years from the required date of completion of construction of the first phase of the Timeshare Project.
(iii) The Seller and/or the Developer, as applicable, shall in writing notify the other party or parties to this Agreement when the revenue threshold described in Subparagraph (ii) above has been crossed. Developer shall commence construction of the next phase(s) not later than the date which is ninety (90) days following transmission of each such notice.
(g) Reversion or Perpetual Easement.
(i) If the Timeshare Project is developed in phases in accordance with this Agreement, and if Developer does not timely commence construction of the second and any subsequent phases in accordance with this Agreement (including but not limited to the requirement to provide assurance of completion in accordance with Subsection (n) below), then all portions of the Timeshare Project other than the portion upon which Developer has timely commenced construction (the “Reversion Property”) shall revert to the Seller, or, in the alternative, at Seller’s election, a perpetual easement upon the Reversion Property shall be granted to Seller, in either event at no cost to Seller; and, in either event, at the election of Seller, in order to complete construction of the Timeshare Project, Seller shall have full right, title and authority to receive, retain, use and modify any and/or all of Developer’s plans, and shall have all of the rights of Developer in and to any and all construction contracts, subcontracts, architect
28
agreements and similar and related documents and agreements pertinent to the Timeshare Project or any part thereof.
(ii) Upon timely commencement by Developer of construction of the second and any subsequent phase of the Timeshare Project in accordance with this Agreement (including but not limited to the requirement to provide assurance of completion in accordance with Subsection (n) below), then the reversionary rights and/or easement rights described above shall immediately terminate with respect to the applicable portion of the Timeshare Project. For the purpose hereof, “timely commencement” means Developer shall have commenced construction of the final phase of the Timeshare Project not later than the date for commencement specified in or pursuant to Section 9(f)(ii) above and shall have provided assurance of completion in accordance with Subsection (n) below.

29
(iv) In order to prevent a reversion or easement as contemplated herein, Developer’s rights to develop the Timeshare Property (or applicable portion) may be assigned, such assignment and assignee subject to the prior approval of the Seller in its reasonable discretion, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event of an assignment pursuant to this Paragraph (iv),

(E) Thereupon, the Developer shall be released from liability hereunder with respect to the interests so assigned, subject to clause (B) above.
(v) In the event of a reversion or easement as contemplated herein, and if construction of the first phase was completed as required herein, then
(A) Until the occurrence of a Fully Sold Project to the extent of Timeshare Units in the portion of the Timeshare Project actually completed by Developer,
(1) the second and any subsequent phase shall not be developed or marketed as timeshares, and appropriate provisions shall be mutually negotiated relating to non-competition and interference with Developer’s timeshare sales and marketing efforts in the portion of the Timeshare Project actually constructed by Developer; and

(C) Rent for renewal lease terms to be mutually agreed and in accordance with market rates.
(D) Seller and Developer shall mutually agree upon a method of determining and accounting for convention center revenue.
(4) If Developer commences construction of convention center space in Phase Two, and if convention center space construction is commenced simultaneously with commencement of construction of the Timeshare Units in Phase Two in accordance with this Agreement, then said commencement of construction shall effect termination of the possibility of reversion as to the land upon which said construction is commenced.
(5) If and to the extent Seller elects that Developer develop and build the convention center space as aforesaid, the Parent Guaranty shall apply to such convention center space, effective (a) upon commencement of construction of the convention center space; or (b) if the convention center space is phased as provided in Paragraph (1) above, as to each such phased portion of the convention center space, upon the earlier to occur of commencement of construction of the applicable phase of the Timeshare Project or commencement of construction of the applicable portion of the convention center space.

(vii) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent permitted by the Management Agreement between Seller and Starwood (or other operator/manager of the Hotel/Casino Property), to obtain all past registration cards and future reservations listing for purposes of soliciting timeshare tours.

To the extent Developer has not obtained required Nevada approvals to commence marketing or sale of interests in the Timeshare Project as of the Marketing Commencement Date, Developer and/or related or affiliated entities shall be entitled to commence marketing in the Complex of Developer’s other existing timeshare projects, subject to payment, with respect to such other existing timeshare projects, of Marketing Fees with respect to such alternative timeshare marketing equal to the greater of
(1) Monthly payments, each in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of all “Net Interval Sales” of such other existing timeshare projects, calculated in the manner provided herein for payment of Marketing Fees, as if such other existing timeshare projects
38
marketed and sold from the Complex were Timeshare Intervals in the Timeshare Project; or
(2) $100,000 per month.
Such marketing of other existing timeshare projects shall cease upon the occurrence of the PH Sales Commencement Date.
(d) Other than the Westgate Flamingo Bay Resort (to the extent owned by Developer and/or its related and/or affiliated entities), Developer shall not, in or near or with respect to Las Vegas, actively promote, or permit the distribution of (to the extent it may legally prohibit same) or distribute marketing or other solicitation materials relating to, competitors of the businesses operated in the Complex, including other Las Vegas timeshare projects. Materials and procedures related to marketing or solicitation concerning the Westgate Flamingo Bay Resort at the Timeshare Property shall be subject to Seller’s prior written approval. Any permitted marketing or solicitation concerning the Westgate Flamingo Bay Resort, and/or any timeshare property other than the Timeshare Project, shall cease on the PH Sales Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer, at or prior to the time of closing on the sale of Timeshare Intervals, may provide to timeshare purchasers “owner kits” which mention Westgate timeshare properties other than the Timeshare Project, provided Seller shall have previously approved in writing such materials, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and shall not require further approval unless subsequent revisions to such materials are not substantially similar to the approved materials.
(e) Seller shall have the right to display in the Timeshare Units, and at the Timeshare Property, advertising and/or collateral materials for the Hotel/Casino Property and other businesses operated in the Complex provided: (i) Developer shall have previously approved in writing such materials, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and shall not require further approval unless subsequent revisions to such materials are not substantially similar to the approved materials; and (ii) Developer is not otherwise prohibited by law from providing such rights to Seller.
(f) All marketing and solicitation and related activity by or on behalf of Developer at or in connection with the Complex and/or the City Block shall at all times comply with the highest standards of decorum and professionalism and shall at all times be consistent with the Complex Standards and the ownership and operation by or on behalf of Seller of the Hotel/Casino Property.
13. Marketing & Use Leases and/or Easements. At closing hereunder Developer will purchase and Seller will sell, subject to the reversion/easement provisions of Section 9(g) above, and subject to the City Block Covenants and Senior Lender Agreements, the following leases and easements related to the purchase of the Timeshare Property and the Timeshare Project of the Timeshare Project:
(1) Marketing and Solicitation Leases (Kiosks). Subject to the existing Lease and Concession Agreement, dated December 28, 2000 (the “Existing Paramount Lease”), by and between Aladdin Gaming, LLC and Paramount Marketing Consultants, Inc. (which expires May 15, 2004 and continues thereafter on a month-to-month basis, terminable upon 30 days notice to lessee), Seller, pursuant to the Marketing and Leasing Agreement, shall lease to Developer (which shall become effective on termination of the Existing Paramount Lease and continue thereafter until the Closing (but which may also
39
require Developer pay rent substantially similar to the Existing Paramount Lease) for the use by Developer of four (4) kiosks measuring approximately 12 feet by 12 feet located within the Complex in substantially the same locations as those currently used (the “Kiosks”) for timeshare marketing purposes including the exclusive right to offer for sale timeshare or other vacation ownership products within the Complex.
From and after the Closing, Seller shall cause the Kiosks to be provided to Developer rent free.
From and after the Closing, to the extent that Developer can demonstrate to Seller, acting reasonably, that additional kiosks will be required by Developer to generate sufficient sales relative to the Timeshare Project, the parties shall mutually agree on additional kiosks for use by Developer.
All such leases will terminate upon the sooner to occur of (A) one year following the Fully Sold Project, or (B) following the Fully Sold Project, the date at which Developer no longer exclusively sells Timeshare Intervals in the Timeshare Project; provided however that at the time of the termination of such leases, Seller and the Developer shall negotiate at Developer’s option a rental arrangement for the areas under lease at the then fair market rental rate.
(2) Resort and Amenities Access Easement/Agreement. Seller shall grant a perpetual easement in favor of the Developer and any subsequent owner or owners and their respective guests and invitees of the Timeshare Project (including owners of Timeshare Intervals in the Timeshare Project) permitting such owners, and their tenants and guests, access to and use of the Hotel/Casino Property, including but not limited to gaming, food and beverage, retail, entertainment (live or otherwise) and other recreational facilities (swimming pools, health club, etc.), existing from time to time, on the same terms as are generally available to guests of the Hotel (the “Resort and Amenities Access Easement/Agreement”). Seller shall receive, from owners of Timeshare Intervals in the Timeshare Project, reimbursement for Seller’s pro-rata share of Operating Costs (such that timeshare owners or guests shall have the same access rights as patrons and guests of the Hotel/Casino guests) for the amenities listed above, which reimbursement shall apply only to the swimming pool and the health club subsidy and shall not apply to any other hotel amenities, unless Developer and Seller elect to include the cost of any additional amenities in the annual operating/maintenance fees charged to owners. The rate of reimbursement shall be based upon the number of Timeshare Units constructed as a percentage of the total number of hotel and Timeshare Units in the aggregate. It is understood that these costs will be paid out of annual operating/maintenance fees charged to owners of Timeshare Intervals in the Timeshare Project. The form and substance of the Resort and Amenities Access Easement/Agreement is (or shall be, in accordance with the Documentation Schedule) attached hereto as Exhibit F.
(3) Other Easements. Such other easements and access rights relating to the Complex as shall be reasonably requested by Developer to permit the Timeshare Project and operation of the Timeshare Project in a physically integrated manner with the Hotel, as the same may be altered from time to time, provided such easements and access rights do not impair or otherwise adversely affect the current operation or value of the portion of the Complex burdened thereby or its intended manner of operation following the renovation thereof.
40
14. Sales Center Lease.
(a) The Marketing and Leasing Agreement executed and delivered at Closing under this Agreement shall include provisions implementing the substance of a Sales Center Lease (“Sales Center Lease”) for a minimum of 10,000 square feet of non-prime space within the Complex (such location, configuration and maximum size as determined by Seller in its sole discretion) for use as a sales center for the Timeshare Project (“Sales Center”). The Sales Center shall be provided to Developer rent-free; provided that Developer shall pay Operating Costs (other than rent and CAM charges) including utilities and housekeeping. Developer will be responsible for all tenant improvements relative to the Sales Center and Seller will have no obligation for such improvements. The Sales Center Lease will terminate upon the sooner to occur of (1) one year following Fully Sold Project, and (2) following the Fully Sold Project, the date at which Developer no longer exclusively sells Timeshare Intervals in the Timeshare Project; provided, however that at the time of the termination of such Sales Center Lease, Seller and the Developer shall in good faith negotiate at Developer’s option a rental arrangement for the area under Sales Center Lease at the then fair market rental rate.
(b) The parties acknowledge that temporary space on the mezzanine level of the Hotel/Casino Property has been identified for use by Developer as a sales center hereunder until the permanent sales center has been built out.
15. Timeshare Sales Premiums.
(a) All premiums offered to prospective purchasers of Timeshare Intervals in the Timeshare Project as an incentive to take tours of the Timeshare Project or attend timeshare sales presentations pertaining to the Timeshare Project (collectively, “Timeshare Sales Premiums”) shall be purchased from the Seller or Seller’s designee, from the Casino, or from designated food and beverage, retail or entertainment outlets owned, operated or controlled by Seller and located in the Complex (including, for these purposes, any outlet subsequently leased or sold by Seller). Timeshare Sales Premiums shall be purchased in initial increments in an amount to be mutually agreed but in any event no less than $65 and up to $75 (it being agreed by Seller that if Developer agrees to initial increments of $75, Seller shall ensure that the total retail value of such premiums shall be $100) (the “Base Timeshare Sales Premium Price”), which may be increased in increments of $25 if used in conjunction with a Timeshare Sales Premium purchased at the Base Timeshare Sales Premium Price. Except for the following discounts, all Timeshare Sales Premiums shall be purchased at face value:
(i) Casino match-play vouchers may be purchased at a 50% discount to face value; provided, however, Seller reserves the right to substitute a substantially similar benefit for match-play vouchers for inclusion in premiums.
(ii) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause show tickets to be made available to Developer for purchase at a 25% discount to face value; provided, however, should Seller institute a policy (as opposed to one-off events or limited promotions) to offer a discount rate to the general public or single or otherwise unbundled ticket sales to other third parties with respect to a particular show, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith an appropriate further discount to face value with respect to such show tickets which discount shall exceed the discount being provided to the general public or such third party, as the case may be; and provided, further, however, that, in the event Seller is unable to provide discounted show tickets as contemplated by this paragraph, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide substitute
41
premiums reasonably satisfactory to Developer such as (but not limited to) food and beverage vouchers, other entertainment events, discounts on nightclub access, match play, or comparable premiums; provided, further, however, that if Seller is unable to provide substitute premiums reasonably satisfactory to Developer as aforesaid, then, during such time as Seller is unable to provide substitute premiums as aforesaid, Developer shall be entitled to increase its ability to use Off-Site Timeshare Sales Premiums (defined below) such that the number of Off-Site Timeshare Sales Premiums during such period shall not exceed 25% of the total number of all Timeshare Sales Premiums utilized by Developer during any such period.
(iii) Merchandise and Food & Beverage vouchers may be purchased at a 25% discount to face value.
(b) Subject to Developer’s ability to provide show tickets to Developer for purchase at a 25% discount to face value as set forth in Subsection (a)(ii) above, not less than 70% (by number) of the Timeshare Sales Premiums purchased by Developer shall consist of show tickets and/or casino match-play vouchers.
(c) Developer shall have the right to utilize Timeshare Sales Premiums, obtained independently by Developer, and which are not redeemable at the Complex (“Off-Site Timeshare Sales Premiums”), provided that the number of Off-Site Timeshare Sales Premiums in any twelve month period shall not exceed 1% of the total number of all Timeshare Sales Premiums purchased by Developer during that period; provided, however, in the event that Developer is able to demonstrate to Seller, acting reasonably, that the above limitation on Off-Site Timeshare Sales Premiums is materially impacting tour sales, the parties shall in good faith negotiate appropriate revisions to the above limitations, in any event not to exceed five percent (5%) in total.
(d) The parties’ agreements concerning Timeshare Sales Premiums shall be included in the Marketing and Leasing Agreement.
16. Vacation Packages; Room Block Agreement.
(a) Seller shall, at Developer’s option, make available to Developer 200 hotel rooms (or such greater number as may be mutually agreed) per day in the Hotel/Casino Property on the following terms for use solely by Developer in its vacation packages for promoting sales of Timeshare Intervals and not for resale (“Room Blocks”). The location and finish of the Room Blocks available for such purpose on any given day shall vary according to the operating requirements of the Seller.
(b) Provided that the ADR for Room Blocks within the Timeshare Project are equal to or less than the ADR for rooms within the Hotel/Casino, as determined by the Seller, once the first phase of the Timeshare Project is completed, Developer shall be entitled to use Timeshare Units in the Timeshare Project, subject to mutually agreeable advance notice and subject to payment by Developer of the Reimbursement Rate defined below, in lieu of all or part of the Room Blocks. The foregoing shall not preclude Developer from booking additional Room Blocks in the hotel at the rates set forth herein subject to availability.
42
(c) Developer shall release Room Blocks into Seller’s hotel-use inventory as follows:
(i) If Developer has not booked at least 50 Room Blocks for vacation packages at least 45 days prior to the date of the proposed stay, then Developer shall release to Seller Room Blocks in amount equal to the difference between 50 and the number of Room Blocks so booked; and
(ii) If Developer has not booked at least 100 Room Blocks (including any bookings recognized in Paragraph (i) immediately above) for vacation packages at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed stay, then Developer shall release to Seller Room Blocks in amount equal to the difference between 100 and the sum of (A) the Room Blocks released pursuant to Paragraph (i) immediately above and (B) the number of Room Blocks so booked; and
(iii) If Developer has not booked at least 150 Room Blocks (including any bookings recognized in Paragraphs (i) and (ii) immediately above) for vacation packages at least 15 days prior to the date of the proposed stay, then Developer shall release to Seller Room Blocks in amount equal to the difference between 150 and the sum of (A) the Room Blocks released pursuant to Paragraph (i) and (ii) immediately above and (B) the number of Room Blocks so booked; and
(iv) If Developer has not booked at least 175 Room Blocks (including any bookings recognized in Paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) immediately above) for vacation packages at least 7 days prior to the date of the proposed stay, then Developer shall release to Seller Room Blocks in amount equal to the difference between 175 and the sum of (A) the Room Blocks released pursuant to Paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) immediately above and (B) the number of Room Blocks so booked; and
(v) If Developer has not booked all Room Blocks (including any bookings recognized in Paragraphs (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) immediately above) for vacation packages at least 3 days prior to the date of the proposed stay, then Developer shall release to Seller all remaining unbooked Room Blocks.
Developer may retain any Room Blocks not booked in accordance with the foregoing release schedule, in which event Developer shall be required to pay Seller therefor as if said retained Room Blocks had been booked as provided in this Section, and in which event said retained Room Blocks shall be treated as booked for the purpose of the foregoing release schedule. The foregoing release schedule shall be adjusted if the parties agree upon Room Blocks greater than or fewer than 200, as provided in Subsection (a).
(d) Except as provided below, Developer shall first offer to Seller all bookings for Vacation Package Rooms (as defined below). The rate payable to Seller for Vacation Package Rooms in the Hotel reserved through Developer (or units in the Timeshare Project, if applicable, in accordance with Subsection (c) above) shall be the Reimbursement Rate (as defined below). Developer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to establish working protocols consistent with industry standards for the management of room reservation requests and cancellations. For purposes hereof:
(i) “Vacation Package Room” shall mean a room package sold to a potential Timeshare Interval purchaser that requires a tour of the Timeshare Property as part of the package or an unhooked vacation package in states where Developer is not registered; provided
43
that unhooked vacation packages shall not exceed 20% of the total rooms booked by Developer; and
(ii) “Reimbursement Rate” shall mean
(A) for the twelve month period commencing on the Marketing Commencement Date (the “Initial Rate Period”), the lower of
(1) 25% off the Lowest Published Rate, or
(2) $85 for room nights falling on Sunday through Thursday and $120 for room nights falling on Friday and Saturday – except that, when Monday is a holiday, $120 for the immediately preceding Sunday.
For the purpose hereof, the phrase “Lowest Published Rate” shall mean the advertised room rate for that particular time of week (e.g., weekend versus weekday) for a room available to the general public and specifically excluding one-off events and limited promotions; and
(B) upon the expiration of the Initial Rate Period, and for each succeeding twelve month period thereafter (each a “Rate Period”), the Reimbursement Rate shall be adjusted upward by the increase (if any) in the Consumer Price Index for the Las Vegas, Nevada standard metropolitan statistical area as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (the “CPI”) between the CPI published for the third month preceding the month in which the Initial Rate Period or the Rate Period then expiring, as applicable, commenced and the CPI published for the third month preceding the month in which the Initial Rate Period or the Rate Period then expiring, as applicable ended (as so adjusted from time to time, the “Adjusted RR”).
If Seller desires to charge a Reimbursement Rate for any Rate Period following the Initial Rate Period in excess of the Adjusted RR determined as set forth above for such Rate Period, Seller may do so and shall so notify Developer thereof in writing specifying the rate to be so charged (provided that such rate shall not apply with respect to any Vacation Package Rooms sold prior to the date which is thirty (30) days after the date of such notice), in which event, Developer shall be permitted for the remainder of such Rate Period to sell Vacation Package Rooms at any other hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada without first offering such bookings to Seller.
(e) The parties’ agreements concerning Vacation Packages and Room Blocks shall be included in the Marketing and Leasing Agreement.
17. Maintenance Agreement.
(a) Developer and its affiliated management agent will enter into a Master Maintenance Agreement (satisfactory to Seller and Developer in their reasonable discretion) pursuant to which Developer’s affiliated management agent will manage the Timeshare Project. Developer’s affiliated management agent will, in turn, subcontract with Seller (who may in turn subcontract with Starwood or another approved manager) and enter into a mutually acceptable agreement (the “Maintenance Agreement”), in form and substance as is to be agreed upon prior to Deed Delivery and is (or shall be, in accordance with the Documentation Schedule) attached hereto as Exhibit H, whereby Seller, subject to the aforesaid Master Maintenance
44
Agreement, shall be responsible for the direct operation and maintenance of the Timeshare Project (or portions thereof as may be mutually agreed by Seller and Developer acting in a commercially reasonable manner), including both Timeshare Unit Vacancies and Timeshare Units which are occupied by purchasers of Timeshare Intervals or their guests or designees; provided, however, it is agreed by the parties hereto that the direct operating expenses, replacement reserves and other customary and appropriate expenses of the Timeshare Project shall be allocated to each Timeshare Interval in the Timeshare Project as a maintenance fee pursuant to an annual operating budget for the Timeshare Project, to be mutually agreed by Seller and Developer (the “Operating Budget”). For purposes of the Maintenance Agreement, direct operating expenses shall expressly exclude any direct or indirect costs or expenses relating to the sale of Timeshare Units. The Maintenance Agreement shall have an initial term of 25 years, with multiple successive automatic 5-year renewals unless Seller by written notice declines to renew at least 180 days prior to the then-current expiration date. The Maintenance Agreement, and the convention center lease (see Section 9(h) above), shall both provide that termination or expiration of said lease shall automatically effect a termination of the Maintenance Agreement, and that termination or expiration of the Maintenance Agreement shall automatically effect a termination of said lease. Further, the Maintenance Agreement, and the said lease, shall both provide that a non-defaulting party’s remedies for default shall include the right to terminate both the Maintenance Agreement and said lease, but not the right to terminate only one of such agreements.
(b) Notwithstanding the Master Maintenance Agreement or the Maintenance Agreement, Developer, and not Seller or Starwood, shall be responsible for and shall separately accomplish (1) Reservations made by Timeshare Interval owners for occupancy in the Timeshare Project; (2) Check-in by Timeshare Interval owners and/or their guests; and (3) Repairs at the Timeshare Project.
(c) Maintenance fees established pursuant to the Operating Budget shall be applied in part to fees payable under the Maintenance Agreement and in part to fees payable to the Developer for its services provided pursuant to Subsection (b), all of which shall be deemed to be Operating Costs for all purposes hereunder. Developer shall collect all such fees, which shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the market-standard fee payable for such combined services for other comparable properties in Las Vegas, Nevada. Developer, pursuant to the Operating Budget as mutually agreed and as modified from time to time, shall allocate and pay said fees as to be agreed mutually between Seller and Developer (in connection with approving the Operating Budget) to fees and expenses of management and maintenance of the Timeshare Project. This Subsection (c) is subject to confirmation as the Maintenance Agreement is finalized prior to Closing
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is acknowledged and agreed that Developer has approved Starwood and Seller to act as approved manager(s) pursuant to the Maintenance Agreement. In the event neither Starwood nor Seller continues to act as manager(s) pursuant to the Maintenance Agreement, any replacement or substitute manager shall be subject to the approval of the Developer, not to be unreasonably withheld, provided the replacement or substitute is not a substantial competitor to Westgate in Las Vegas or other markets.
18. Timeshare Unit Vacancies; Vacancy Rentals.
(a) Developer agrees that during the term of the Maintenance Agreement Seller shall have exclusive operational control of all Timeshare Unit Vacancies and Seller shall offer, under
45
exclusive license, the rental, management and maintenance of all such Timeshare Unit Vacancies (“Vacancy Rentals”) at rates and terms to be determined by Seller, acting reasonably, it being agreed by the parties that Seller may, from time to time, utilize a management company for Vacancy Rentals substantially similar to the manner in which Seller may utilize a management company in connection with the Hotel/Casino Property.
(b) As consideration for providing the Vacancy Rentals, the parties agree as follows:
(A) Gross rental income arising from Vacancy Rentals (“Rental Income”), plus
(B) Gross income arising from the maintenance fees established on all Timeshare Units
(collectively “Gross Rent and Maintenance Fee Income”), shall be collected by Seller and shall be distributed as follows:
(i) First, to pay the PHII License Fee, the Westgate License Fee and any fee occasioned by any third-party management company (e.g., Starwood); and
(ii) Second, to the Seller and/or the Developer, as applicable, in the amount of Shore Up or shortfall paid in prior periods by Developer and/or Seller pursuant to Subsection (c) below, or to the extent payment thereof is attributable to Seller or Developer, respectively; and
(iii) Third, to the payment of all Operating Costs incurred in connection with the Project (to the extent not paid as part of the first distribution provided for above); and
(iv) Fourth, provided that the Timeshare Project is constructed as required pursuant to Section 9, or, in the event the Timeshare Project is developed in phases, provided the Developer has complied with its obligation to complete construction of each phase as and when required pursuant to, and as described in, Section 9(a) and Section 9(f), to the payment (or reimbursement to Developer) of
(a) one-half (1/2) (i.e., 50%) of all interest on any construction loan(s) attributable to Timeshare Intervals accruing prior to completion of the first phase of the Timeshare Project provided for in Section 9; plus one-half (1/2) (i.e., 50%) of all interest on any construction loan(s) attributable to construction of parking to meet the Parking Requirement as provided in Section 6, but said payment or reimbursement shall be available only to the extent the Parking Requirement does not exceed 800 parking spaces; provided, however, that Seller’s reimbursement obligation shall not exceed $2,700,000 for all such construction interest accruing prior to completion of said first phase; and
(b) after completion of the first phase of the Timeshare Project as described in clause (a) immediately above, all (i.e., 100%) of all interest on any construction loan(s) attributable to Timeshare Intervals in the Timeshare Project (including said first phase as well as the second and any subsequent phase) accruing after said completion of said first phase; plus all (i.e., 100%) of all interest on any construction loan(s) attributable to construction of parking to meet the Parking Requirement as provided in Section 6 accruing after said completion of said first phase, but said payment or reimbursement shall be available only to the extent the Parking Requirement does not exceed 800 parking spaces;
46
provided, however, that, in all events, all principal of all such construction loan(s) shall be allocated to all Timeshare Intervals in the Timeshare Project or applicable phase (whether or not such Timeshare Intervals have actually been added to the Timeshare Plan), and, upon sale of each Timeshare Interval, the allocated portion of principal shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the applicable construction loan(s); and provided, further, however, that the aforesaid 800 parking space limitation shall be increased to the extent (but only to the extent) that construction of the convention center space, provided for in Section 9(h) of this Agreement, causes the Parking Requirement to increase.
(v) Fifth, to the payment to Seller of an amount equal to the payment to Developer as set forth in the fourth distribution provided for above (in the event of any shortfall, such amounts shall accrue until fully paid); and
(vi) Sixth, to be distributed between Developer and Seller on a 50/50 basis.
(c) In the event that the Operating Costs of the Timeshare Project exceed the Gross Rent and Maintenance Fee Income, any shortfall (except to the extent representing profit or general overhead or other amounts not actually paid by Developer as direct costs of Developer’s management or maintenance of the Timeshare Project) shall be covered by
(i) The Seller, at any time that both (A) the Timeshare Project or (applicable phase) has been constructed as contemplated herein such that Minimum Project Density (or applicable portion) has been achieved by Developer, as provided in Section 9(a), Section 9(f) and other applicable provisions of this Agreement; and (B) the Maintenance Agreement has not expired without renewal or has not been terminated due to breach, violation or default by Developer; and
(ii) The Developer, if the conditions in clause (i) above have not been met.
The obligation of the Seller or the Developer, as the case may be, to cover the shortfall as aforesaid is sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the “Shore-Up” obligation.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all maintenance fee payments must be credited and posted on the applicable homeowner association books and records as required by law.
(e) It is the expectation of the parties hereto that Developer’s construction of Timeshare Units will initially exceed realized demand for the Timeshare Units as Timeshare Intervals, so that, initially, a relatively larger number of Timeshare Units will be treated as Timeshare Unit Vacancies available for Vacancy Rental under this Section. It is further the expectation of the parties that the timing of release of Timeshare Unit Vacancies for submission to the timeshare regime and for sale as Timeshare Intervals will correspond generally to the rate at which sales of Timeshare Intervals “catch up” with the inventory of completed Timeshare Units. For the purpose of the Shore Up obligations in this Agreement, a completed Timeshare Unit will be treated as a hotel suite for any applicable period, and Developer shall not be responsible for maintenance fees for said Timeshare Unit for said period, if and to the extent that Developer has released said Timeshare Unit for Vacancy Rental not later than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of said period. The foregoing is subject to confirmation as the Maintenance Agreement is finalized prior to Closing.
47
(f) The reporting, audit and related provisions of Section 4(f) shall apply to Vacancy Rentals.
(g) The parties’ agreements concerning Vacancy Rentals shall be included in the Marketing and Leasing Agreement.
19. Pre-Timeshare Activities. Seller and Developer shall jointly commence and diligently pursue good faith negotiations to:
(i) develop a plan for the coordination of the development of the Timeshare Project with the renovation of the Hotel (as defined in the PSA) intended to facilitate the physical integration of the Hotel renovation and development of the Timeshare Project;
(ii) identify and assess the interrelationships between the Timeshare Project, Hotel, Casino (as defined in the PSA) and Mall Property, aka Desert Passage Shopping Center (aka/fka Aladdin Bazaar) (Boulevard Investments), and determine appropriate and reasonable cost allocations amongst the Timeshare Property, the remainder of the Complex and Mall Property (Desert Passage Shopping Center) of the costs and expenses required to be paid under the City Block Covenants, including but not limited to the Shared Parking Agreement (aka Parking Use Agreement), REA, Northwind Utility Agreement and Xxxxxx Avenue Intersection Plan (as the same are defined in the PSA); and
(iii) identify and enter into any required ingress, egress construction and utility easements, parking rights and easements (or applicable amendments to existing parking agreements and easements) or other access and use rights reasonably necessary to (a) comply with applicable legal requirements or (b) permit the efficient Timeshare Project of the Timeshare Project
(collectively, the “Pre-Timeshare Project Activities”); and
(iv) enter into agreements to create mutually agreed discounts for owners of Timeshare Units within the Timeshare Project with discounts to include gaming promotions, food and beverage, retail, entertainment (live or otherwise) and other recreational facilities (swimming pools, health club, etc.), and other items which may be mutually agreed upon to enhance the ownership experience and value.
In conjunction therewith, Developer and Seller (to the extent necessary) shall cause to be prepared such preliminary design studies regarding the Timeshare Project and the Hotel renovation, respectively, as shall be reasonably required to pursue the Pre-Timeshare Project Activities. Developer shall have the right, and shall make available a representative of Developer, to participate in all negotiations with the owner of the Mall Property aka Desert Passage Shopping Center (aka/fka Aladdin Bazaar) (Boulevard Investments) regarding the foregoing. It is expressly understood that the obligations of Seller and its related and affiliated entities including, but not limited to, all marketing rights, rental agreement easements, shall be binding upon its successors, assigns, and subsequent property owners, except as may be otherwise required by the Senior Lenders.
In addition, and as a condition precedent to Closing, Seller shall obtain a nondisturbance and attornment agreement and/or similar coordination and cooperation undertakings, from the Senior Lenders, with respect to the Senior Lender Agreements and the Senior Lenders’ rights
48
with respect to the Complex, all in form and substance satisfactory to Developer, acting reasonably. Developer’s proposed form of nondisturbance and attornment agreement is (or shall be, in accordance with the Documentation Schedule) attached hereto as Exhibit B.

In the event of Developer’s failure to close on the purchase of the Timeshare Property or to satisfy the conditions to Closing or Deed Delivery when required to do so in accordance with this Agreement and/or in accordance with any applicable deadline, and in the event same

(1) if Developer’s failure to close or to satisfy conditions to Closing or Deed Delivery is due solely to

(i) all applicable planning and development approvals (assuming that the conditions set forth in Section 25(f)(3)(i) have been satisfied) for the Timeshare Project from Xxxxx County and all other applicable governmental agencies (e.g., state and/or regional planning agencies and/or water allocation bodies and/or school districts); or

(E) Disapproval or other adverse action by the owner of the Mall Property to the extent occurring as described in and subject to the provisions of Section 6(a)(5) above; or

and is not (and does not arise from) a default by Developer hereunder, then this Agreement shall be terminated, subject to Developer’s continuing duties to Seller concerning confidential and/or proprietary information and any and all other provisions hereof which survive termination of this Agreement, and Seller shall have no remedy under this Section 26 for Developer’s failure to close or satisfy conditions; and
(2) Following Closing (assuming that the conditions set forth in Section 25(f)(3)(i) have been satisfied), if Developer’s failure to satisfy conditions to Deed Delivery is due solely to
56
(A) Developer’s inability, after good faith diligent pursuit and exhaustion of all commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain construction financing for the development and construction of the first phase of the Timeshare Project, or
(B) Developer’s inability, after good faith diligent pursuit and exhaustion of all commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain and deliver to the Seller evidence of the completion bond(s) described in Section 9(n);

when required pursuant to applicable provisions of this Agreement, subject to applicable conditions, then:
(A) if Deed Delivery has not occurred hereunder, Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Developer, upon which the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder other than as provided in Section 33 and Section 26(c); and
(B) if Deed Delivery has occurred hereunder,

(c) after the occurrence of a Fully Sold Project to the extent of Timeshare Units in the portions of the Timeshare Project as to which the possibility of reversion has terminated as provided herein, and so long as the Developer is not in breach of its obligations pursuant to Section 9(a) and Section 9(f) with respect to such portions not subject to reversion, Seller may develop and/or sell the second and any subsequent phases of the Timeshare Property without regard to the aforesaid limitations, including but not limited to a competing timeshare project and/or a competing timeshare developer; and the Sales Center Lease shall be terminated; and
(3) The Timeshare Property, or applicable portion (see Section 9(g) above), shall revert to Seller, and Developer shall execute, seal, acknowledge and deliver such instruments of conveyance and such other documents and agreements as may be necessary or appropriate to complete said reverter and vest in Seller good and marketable fee simple title to all of the Timeshare Property (or applicable portion), real, personal and mixed, and to relieve Developer to the extent applicable of liability to Seller under the Timeshare Development Documents with respect to the Reversion Property; and
(4) If requested by Seller, Developer will transfer to Seller (or its designee) all design information and other work product related to the construction of the Timeshare Project other than information proprietary to Developer’s timeshare business; and

Each party waives any right to assert the defense of lack of mutuality of remedy. Any and all remedies provided for herein and/or available at law or in equity shall survive Closing hereunder.
(f) Reversion. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, once a reversion as set forth in this Agreement has occurred, and except with respect to the Developer’s potential liability for liquidated damages as set forth in Subsection (c) above, any remedies available to Seller hereunder or under other applicable Timeshare Agreements, or at law or in equity, shall be limited to remedies pertinent to only the portion of the Timeshare Project as to which the possibility of reversion has terminated.
27. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and sent to the recipients thereof through the use of any one of (a) a recognized national commercial delivery service providing regular overnight delivery service, (b) hand delivery or (c) certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed properly delivered when and if delivered to the recipient’s office by any of such service, as evidenced by the delivery receipt obtained by such service from the recipient’s office (or if no such receipt is returned to the sender, then two (2) Business Days after the delivery service acknowledges receipt of the notice for delivery) or evidence of the recipient’s refusal of such notice, such notices to be delivered to the parties at the addresses set forth below:
