3.01 Appointment of Golf Manager; Limitation of Hotel Manager’s Responsibility. With the consent of Owner, Hotel Manager hereby appoints Golf Manager as its exclusive manager and limited agent (and limited subagent of Owner) to supervise, direct, and control the management, operation, and promotion of the Golf Facilities pursuant to the terms and conditions of, and as set forth in, this Golf Agreement, and Golf Manager hereby accepts the relationship of trust and confidence included in the appointment and agrees to perform its duties in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of this Golf Agreement. This appointment is effective as of the Effective Date. Everything undertaken or done by Golf Manager under this Golf Agreement shall be done as an independent contractor under Hotel Manager and not as an employee or partner of Hotel Manager or Owner. Golf Manager acknowledges and agrees that the scope of Golf Manager’s agency and subagency shall be strictly limited to the authority granted to Golf Manager under the express terms of this Golf Agreement. Except for the limited matters specifically set forth herein, nothing contained in this Golf Agreement shall be deemed or construed as an appointment by Owner of any party hereto as Owner’s agent. As an integral part of the Resort, the Golf Facilities shall be managed and operated by Golf Manager to promote the Resort’s overall best interests as determined by Hotel Manager (subject to the provisions set forth in the Resort Management Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Golf Agreement, Hotel Manager shall have no personal (corporate) liability for the payment of any Resort or Golf Facilities expenses, or for the payment of any fees, costs and other amounts due Golf Manager hereunder (excepting to the extent Golf Manager’s fees are a part of Hotel Manager’s fees and Hotel Manager actually receives payment of the corresponding fee due Hotel Manager), and Owner is solely responsible therefor. All references herein to “Hotel Manager shall pay” expenses or fees, or similar words or expressions, shall be expressly deemed modified by this limitation for all purposes, to avoid repeating this limitation throughout the document.

3.02 Authority and Controls.

(a) Golf Manager shall have no authority to execute any contract or incur any liability on behalf of Hotel Manager or Owner or the Resort unless specifically authorized in the Purchasing Policy (described in Article 4.01(d) below) or the approved Golf Facilities Annual Plan or unless specifically approved in writing by Hotel Manager (in accordance with the

provisions set forth in the Resort Management Agreement). Except as specifically stated in the Purchasing Policy, Hotel Manager shall sign all contracts for services and all documents establishing any liability with respect to any work performed in connection with the Golf Facilities. Golf Manager’s authority to act for or bind Hotel Manager or Owner is expressly limited to the authority set forth in this Golf Agreement. Golf Manager shall not be required to make any advance or payment to or for the account of Hotel Manager or Owner, or the Golf Facilities, and Golf Manager shall not be obligated to incur any liability or obligation for Hotel Manager’s or Owner’s account, or the Golf Facilities’ account, without assurances that Owner shall provide all necessary funds for the discharge thereof.

(b) Golf Manager shall deposit all revenues from the operation of the Golf Facilities with the Resort cashier in accordance with the Revenue Management Policy described in Article 4.01(c).

(c) Subject to the third paragraph of Article 4.01(g) below, Golf Manager shall have no authority to and shall not do anything, take any actions or incur any obligations that would violate or contravene and extend beyond the Golf Facilities Annual Plan, without obtaining Hotel Manager’s and Owner’s prior written consent. If Golf Manager is unable to perform any of its obligations under this Golf Agreement because of the failure on the part of Hotel Manager or Owner to provide the funds in accordance with the terms of this Golf Agreement, then, to the extent that such failure to perform is a result of the Hotel Manager’s failure to provide funds, such failure of performance on the part of Golf Manager shall not be deemed a default on the part of Golf Manager and shall not give rise to any right to termination, damages or any other remedy against Golf Manager, provided that Golf Manager provides prompt written notice thereof to Hotel Manager and Owner.

(d) The Parties hereto agree that this Golf Agreement and all rights, powers and actions of Golf Manager under and pursuant to this Golf Agreement are expressly subject to the Resort Management Agreement, provided Golf Manager is provided a copy thereof. Golf Manager acknowledges having received and thoroughly reviewed the Resort Management Agreement as it relates, or may relate, to Golf Manager or Golf Manager’s duties or performance under this Golf Agreement, and in the event of any conflict between the Resort Management Agreement and this Golf Agreement, the Resort Management Agreement shall control. Within five (5) days of execution of any amendment or supplement to the Resort Management Agreement (which Hotel Manager and Owner have approved in writing), Hotel Manager shall provide a complete copy thereof to Golf Manager; provided, however, Owner and Hotel Manager hereby agree that the performance termination right set forth in Article 4.3 of the Resort Management Agreement shall not be amended without the prior written consent of Golf Manager, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Golf Manager. Any amendment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be null and void as it may pertain to Golf Manager. Golf Manager will maintain the strict confidentiality of the Resort Management Agreement Article 16.01(o) below.

ARTICLE IV OPERATIONAL DUTIES OF GOLF MANAGER

4.01 Golf Manager’s Operational Duties. Except as specifically identified in this Golf Agreement as being the responsibility of Golf Manager, Hotel Manager shall be responsible for all Resort operations, including, without limitation, all Resort food and beverage operations other than the On-Course Food and Beverage Operations (as defined in Article 4.01(t) below). Golf Manager shall perform all duties necessary to operate, maintain and manage the Golf Facilities at the Resort in accordance with the Golf Course Standard and for the overall best interests of the Resort, each of which shall be an expense of the Resort and provided for in the Golf Facilities Annual Plan (as the same may be amended from time to time upon Owner’s prior written approval thereof). Such duties shall include, but shall not be limited to:

(a) General. Golf Manager shall supervise and administer daily operations and act as general manager for all functions relating to or in connection with the Golf Facilities, such as the operation and promotion of the Golf Facilities, including the golf course, golf bag storage facilities, golf shop sales and services, cart rentals, locker room, golf course maintenance, but specifically excluding (i) any general Resort security services to be provided by Hotel Manager (however, Hotel Manager does not make any representations to Golf Manager concerning whether any particular security services will be provided, or the nature or extent thereof), (ii) accounting services, and (iii) personnel training provided by Hotel Manager to Golf Facilities Employees under Article 4.01(b)(iii). The services described in clauses (i) through (iii) hereof shall be provided by Hotel Manager with respect to the Resort and Golf Facilities as a whole. The cost of such services shall be operating expenses of the Resort and shall be equitably allocated in writing by Hotel Manager between those portions of the Resort covered by this Golf Agreement (which portion shall be Operating Expenses) and those not so covered, as further provided in Article 7.04(c).

(b) Employees. Subject to the following requirements of this Article 4.01(b), the approved Golf Facilities Annual Plan and all limitations in this Golf Agreement, Golf Manager shall hire, train (except as provided in Article 4.01(b)(iii)), discipline, supervise, compensate (subject to Hotel Manager’s written approval thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Resort Management Agreement and the provisions of Section 4.01(g) hereof), promote, direct and terminate all employees, including an individual to act as the manager of the Golf Facilities (the “Director – Golf Operations”), necessary or advisable for the operation of the Golf Facilities in accordance with Article 4. The identity of the Director – Golf Operations shall be subject to the prior approval of Hotel Manager and Owner. All employees at the Golf Facilities (collectively, the “Golf Facilities Employees”) shall be employed by Owner or an Affiliate of Owner, provided that Golf Manager shall be the employer of certain key personnel (including the Director – Golf Operations, senior golf professional, and the golf superintendent (collectively, the “Executive Employees”)); provided, further, that if Golf Manager does not elect to employ such Executive Employees (and provides prior written notice thereof to Owner and Hotel Manager), Owner may elect, in Owner’s sole discretion, to employ such Executive Employees directly. All employees at the Golf Facilities, other than the Executive Employees will be under the direction of, and supervised by, the Executive Employees for all operational purposes under this Golf Agreement, subject to the limitations and requirements set forth herein, including on Exhibit D attached hereto. The Executive Employees will be under the direction of,

and shall report to, the general manager of the Resort; provided, however, that the Golf Manager shall concurrently provide to Owner copies of any written reports Golf Manager provides to Hotel Manager from time to time and any other material verbal reports Golf Manager provides to Hotel Manager from time to time; and provided, further, Owner shall have access to all of Golf Manager’s and Hotel Manager’s records regarding the subject of this Golf Agreement during regular business hours upon prior notice to Golf Manager or Hotel Manager, as applicable.

(i) All costs associated with the employment of the Golf Facilities Employees (including salaries, fringe benefits, bonuses, relocation costs, employment related legal costs and costs incurred in connection with governmental laws and regulations and insurance rules, but not penalties and interest arising from a failure to pay the same where such expenses have been approved) shall be an expense of the Golf Facilities, and shall be payable from revenue of the Golf Facilities or reimbursed by Owner to Golf Manager, in all cases pursuant to the Golf Facilities Annual Plan (as defined below) approved by Hotel Manager and Owner. To the extent benefit costs were paid by Hotel Manager for Owner and the Resort, benefit plan forfeitures of non-vested employees shall be credited back to Owner and the Resort, resulting in a credit against Operating Expenses, consistent with applicable law.

(ii) All direct expenses of the Golf Facilities Employees shall also be expenses reimbursable to Golf Manager to the extent such expenses are contained in the Golf Facilities Annual Plan approved by the Hotel Manager and Owner. Such direct expenses shall include to the extent set forth in the Golf Facilities Annual Plan the following: continuing education seminars; out-of-pocket travel expenses to and from the Golf Facilities for Golf Manager’s home office employees who directly advise Golf Manager on the operation of the Golf Facilities; and expenses for promotion of the Golf Facilities. To the extent that any Golf Facilities Employees are not employed or engaged exclusively at the Golf Facility, the expenses of such Golf Facilities Employees that are reimbursable to the Golf Manager under this Golf Agreement shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of time such Golf Facilities Employees are employed or engaged other than with respect to the Golf Facility.

(iii) Golf Manager shall at all times abide by all local, state and federal employment laws and regulations (including, without limitation, worker’s compensation, social security, unemployment insurance, legal status, hours of labor, wages, working conditions, and employment nondiscrimination) and ensure that all Golf Facilities Employees are properly trained and licensed, as necessary, for the responsibilities assigned to and performed by them, including the use of pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals. All Golf Facilities Employees who may have interaction with Resort Guests shall be provided general guest service training consistent with Hotel Manager’s guest service training generally as described in Article 4.01(a) above along with any employee training provided by Golf Manager and Hotel Manager shall determine whether such persons meet the applicable standards. Golf Manager and Hotel Manager shall identify Golf Facilities Employees for whom sales and marketing training is appropriate and shall provide such training consistent with Hotel Manager’s sales and marketing training generally as described in Article 4.01(a) above. Such general guest training and sales and marketing training shall be provided to Golf Facilities Employees on substantially the same terms as Hotel Manager provides such programs to its employees.

(iv) Subject to the terms of this Article 4.01(b) and Exhibit D, Golf Manager shall establish the terms of compensation, benefits, human resources policies and procedures (including, without limitation drug testing policies and procedures to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by any one of Golf Manager, Hotel Manager or Owner), and performance standards for Golf Facilities Employees and directly control and supervise the time and manner of work performed by Golf Facilities Employees, subject to the following provisions. Golf Manager shall be responsible for, and use commercially reasonable efforts to hire only, capable and qualified personnel with appropriate experience and no criminal records or other problems in their employment history, and shall require, to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by any one of Golf Manager, Hotel Manager or Owner, all Golf Facilities Employees submit to and pass mandatory drug testing, and to adhere to the standards of conduct, grooming, quality and service consistent with those established for Hotel Manager’s employees. Golf Manager shall remove from employment at the Resort any Golf Facilities Employee against whom Hotel Manager or Owner reasonably objects. With respect to the Executive Employees, Golf Manager shall pay salaries and make available bonuses on a discretionary basis only. Golf Manager may establish its own reasonable methods of establishing eligibility for and payment of discretionary bonuses, but the criteria to earn bonuses and the available amounts thereof may not be less favorable than the policies in effect immediately prior to the date hereof; the foregoing shall be subject to the prior written approval of Hotel Manager and Owner.

(v) Unless expressly consented to in writing in advance by Owner and Hotel Manager, all Golf Facilities Employees shall be employed exclusively with respect to the Resort.

(vi) Owner and Hotel Manager reserve the right to interview and approve the selection of the Executive Employees. Golf Manager shall propose to Owner and Hotel Manager any replacement for any such position and, thereafter, shall seek the appropriate approvals for any such person. When Golf Manager wishes or is required to propose the appointment of a person to fill any such position, Golf Manager shall submit such proposal with a written summary of such individual’s professional experience and qualifications and Golf Manager’s reasons for recommending the appointment of such individual to this position, and shall offer Hotel Manager and Owner the opportunity to interview such individual at the Golf Facilities or another mutually acceptable location and to disapprove such person. Owner and Hotel Manager will forego their right to interview any such individual if Owner or Hotel Manager (as the case may be) is unwilling or unable to arrange for an authorized representative to participate in the interview within seven (7) business days following Golf Manager’s offer. If such person is otherwise qualified based on Golf Manager’s review, Owner and Hotel Manager shall not have standing to disapprove the appointment of any such individual unless Owner or Hotel Manager, as the case may be, delivers notice of its disapproval of such appointment within ten (10) business days after Owner’s and Hotel Manager’s receipt of the aforementioned written summary and offer to interview. Owner or Hotel Manager may disapprove any individual proposed by Golf Manager for any reason or for no reason whatsoever, in Owner’s or Hotel Manager’s sole and absolute discretion, as the case may be, and whether or not the Owner or Hotel Manager conducted or failed to conduct an interview of such candidate; provided, however, if Owner or Hotel Manager disapprove three (3) consecutive qualified candidates for a single particular Executive Employee position (who have relevant and reputable industry experience for such Executive Employee position) within any twelve (12) month period, then

(and only then) shall Golf Manager shall have the right to appoint a qualified person to such particular Executive Employee position within ten (10) days after Golf Manager complies with all of the other aforesaid conditions. Nothing contained in this Article 4.01(b)(v) shall be deemed to require Hotel Manager’s or Owner’s consent to Golf Manager’s termination of the employment of any Golf Facilities Employee, including those subject to this paragraph.

Golf Manager agrees to use reasonable efforts to ensure that any individual selected by Golf Manager (and approved by Hotel Manager and Owner) as an Executive Employee is prepared to remain employed at the Resort for a period of at least twenty-four (24) months from the date of such individual’s appointment to such position. Moreover, Golf Manager agrees that it shall not, without the written consent of Hotel Manager and Owner, propose a transfer to, solicit the transfer of, terminate and re-hire, terminate and permit an Affiliate to rehire, or permit a transfer of any individual in an Executive Employee position for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the Effective Date. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to prohibit Golf Manager from approving a transfer requested by an Executive Employee primarily for family or other personal reasons (as distinct from Golf Manager’s approval of a transfer requested by an employee primarily for career-motivated reasons); provided, however, Owner expects this exception to be used on a limited basis only. Further, Golf Manager shall not solicit for employment or permit any of its Affiliates to solicit for employment any employee of Owner or Hotel Manager at the Resort. For purposes of this Article 4.01(b), the term “Affiliate” as it relates to Golf Manager shall mean Troon Golf, L.L.C. (“Troon Golf”), and any entity which Troon Golf controls. In no event shall Xxxxxx Golf, L.L.C., Xxxxxx Golf II, L.L.C., Whitehall Street Real Estate Limited Partnership XI, a Delaware limited partnership, or WXI/TRO, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, or any of their respective affiliates be considered an Affiliate of Troon.

(i) Golf Manager shall comply with the policies and procedures for control of and accounting for all cash receipts and other revenue related to operation of the Golf Facilities as provided in the attached Exhibit E (hereinafter referred to as “Revenue Management Policy”) and as such policies and procedures may be amended from time to time by Hotel Manager for the Resort and Golf Facilities as a whole. Any amendment to the Revenue Management Policy shall be provided to Golf Manager and Owner on a prompt and timely basis.

(ii) As stated in the Revenue Management Policy, on behalf of Owner, Hotel Manager shall pay, from Resort revenues, all expenses relating to ownership and operation of the Golf Facilities which have been incurred pursuant to the Golf Facilities Annual Plan approved by the Hotel Manager and Owner. Hotel Manager will not pay (nor will Golf Manager be entitled to reimbursement for) general expenses for or on the account of Golf Manager not directly related to operation of the Golf Facilities, such as for the maintenance of Golf Manager’s business, general corporate licenses for the Golf Manager, meals for Golf Facilities Employees (as defined in Article 4.01(b)(i) above), travel to and from the Resort by Golf Manager’s corporate personnel (except as provided in the approved Golf Facilities Annual Plan or Article 4.01(w)), and insurance (except that insurance required under Article 6.02(b) – (d)). The amounts to be paid by Hotel Manager on behalf of Owner shall include the charges of Golf Manager for Centralized Services of Golf Manager under Article 4.01(w) below and National

Marketing Services under Article 4.01(y) below and any other charges or expenses incurred by Golf Manager included in the then applicable approved Golf Facilities Annual Plan, but shall exclude any other home office, regional office or other offsite charges, expenses or costs of any kind or nature incurred or sustained by Golf Manager (except as otherwise provided in the approved Golf Facilities Annual Plan or Article 4.01(w)) and Golf Manager shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor. To facilitate the timely and orderly payment of expenses, Golf Manager will (a) deliver all invoices or bills received by Golf Manager to Hotel Manager in the manner reasonably specified by Hotel Manager and (b) either approve and recommend payment of all invoices and bills related to the Golf Facilities and code them for purposes of comparison to the Golf Facilities Annual Plan, or state the basis for Golf Manager’s objections thereto and recommendations concerning the same, with all such actions to occur in a reasonable timeframe specified by Hotel Manager to accommodate its processing requirements.

In addition, commencing on the Effective Date and continuing throughout the remainder of the Term, Hotel Manager shall deposit, or shall request that Owner deposit, into Golf Manager’s separate payroll account (which Golf Manager represents and warrants shall be solely used for approved payroll expenses), at least two (2) days before a payroll is to be paid by Golf Manager for Golf Manager’s Employees for the Golf Facilities, an amount equal to such payroll as set forth in a detailed payroll request certified by Golf Manager as being correct and in compliance with the Golf Facilities Annual Plan, provided such certified payroll request is delivered to Hotel Manager at least ten (10) days before the payroll is to be paid. In addition, Hotel Manager or Owner shall deposit in the same manner and subject to the same requirements the benefits costs incurred by Golf Manager for the Golf Facilities Employees at the Golf Facilities, less any forfeitures described in Article 4.01(b)(i).

(d) Purchasing Policy. Golf Manager shall comply with the policies and procedures for purchasing of merchandise for the Golf Facilities, including controls and reports, as provided in the “Purchasing Policy” attached hereto as Exhibit F, and as such policies and procedures may be amended from time to time (provided that any such amendment is provided to Golf Manager and does not materially and adversely affect the ability of Golf Manager to operate the Golf Facilities) by Hotel Manager for the Resort and Golf Facilities as a whole. Pursuant to the Purchasing Policy, but subject to the Golf Facilities Annual Plan, as an Operating Expense of the Golf Facilities, Golf Manager shall establish and maintain inventory levels and ensure the distribution of first quality merchandise and supplies to assigned departments of the Golf Facilities, including sufficient inventories for retail sale throughout the Golf Facilities and shall prepare and submit to Hotel Manager and Owner (on a basis reasonably determined by Hotel Manager) purchase, sale and use reports concerning inventory, merchandise and supplies. The Parties agree to develop an inventory of materials, supplies, inventory and equipment to be used or managed by Golf Manager pursuant to this Golf Agreement. All property purchased with Resort, Owner or Hotel Manager funds shall be property of the Resort, Owner or Hotel Manager, and not Golf Manager.

In the performance of such obligations, Golf Manager may elect to purchase items described therein under vendor contracts negotiated by Golf Manager under its vendor contracts and national purchasing programs, subject to the following provisions. In respect of purchases made under Golf Manager’s vendor contracts, Hotel Manager and Owner acknowledge that Golf Manager may receive and retain certain payments, rebates or administrative fees from vendors,

and that Golf Manager and/or its Affiliates may have investments in such vendors; and, provided, further, any price discounts achieved under such contracts for items purchased for the Golf Facilities shall be passed on to the Golf Facilities. Upon Hotel Manager’s or Owner’s request, Golf Manager shall disclose in writing to Hotel Manager and/or Owner (as the case may be) in a reasonably detailed writing any applicable arrangements for Golf Manager to receive payments, rebates, concessions or administrative fees. In any event, Golf Manager shall prepare a quarterly written report for delivery to Hotel Manager and Owner, which report shall fully and fairly disclose all rebates, concessions, and administrative fees Golf Manager (or its Affiliates) may have received (or direct that others should receive) from any vendor relating to purchases made on behalf of the Resort. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Article 4.01(d), it is the intention of the Parties that the net cost (including, without limitation, rebates, concessions, payment terms, service policies, return policies and the like) of using Golf Manager’s national purchasing program shall not be greater than if a third party purchasing agent or Hotel Manager or Owner purchased the same items. Accordingly, if Hotel Manager or Owner is able to identify vendors to Golf Manager from which the Golf Facilities can purchase items of the same quality, and same brand (for those items where brand is a differentiating feature), as those available through vendors recommended by Golf Manager, but at lower prices than the prices available through vendors recommended by Golf Manager, at Hotel Manager’s direction, Golf Manager shall purchase the goods and services in question from the vendors identified by Hotel Manager or Owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Golf Manager, Hotel Manager or Owner shall have the right to opt out of any purchasing program in respect of all purchases or such items as Hotel Manager or Owner may designate in such notice.

Hotel Manager and Owner shall have the right to approve in writing all amendments to such policies, rules and regulations proposed by Golf Manager that would have a material effect on golf operations, prior to the issuance or implementation of such amendments. If a circumstance arises where Golf Manager believes its obligations under this Golf Agreement conflict with the requirements of the Revenue Management Policy, the Purchasing Policy or an express directive from Hotel Manager or Owner, Golf Manager shall promptly notify Hotel Manager and Owner in writing of the conflict and shall follow Hotel Manager’s direction regarding resolution of the conflict, provided that such direction does not materially conflict with the provisions of the Resort Management Agreement or this Golf Agreement relating to compensation and costs and expenses payable and reimbursable to Golf Manager under this Golf Agreement.

(f) Weekly Meetings. Unless otherwise agreed, the Director - Golf Operations, or his designee, shall hold weekly meetings with Hotel Manager’s general manager (or his designee) and Owner’s designee (if Owner so elects from time to time) to review revenue management and accounts payable as well as to discuss operational issues related to the Golf Facilities (including course maintenance projects with potential impact on Resort operations, such as green and fairway aeration), and shall hold monthly meetings with Hotel Manager’s

general manager and Golf Manager’s executive personnel responsible for general supervision of the Golf Facilities.

(g) Preparation and Approval of and Compliance with Golf Facilities Annual Plan.

The deadline for Golf Manager’s submission of the Proposed Golf Facilities Annual Plan to Hotel Manager and Owner shall be subject to change from time to time upon at least sixty (60) days prior written notice from Hotel Manager to Golf Manager (provided that no extension of such deadline shall be effective without the prior written approval of Owner).

In addition, the Proposed Golf Facilities Annual Plan shall include any proposed modifications to the published schedule of golf fees (including the greens fees for Resort Guests and/or the general public, shotgun start fees, golf cart rental and use of the driving range) and all fees for other services and activities available at the Golf Facilities (e.g., private lessons, locker space and bag storage). Hotel Manager and Golf Manager shall cooperate with one another to prepare any additional or special elements of the Golf Facilities Annual Plan as may be required or imposed from time to time by Owner.

Hotel Manager and Owner shall review the Proposed Golf Facilities Annual Plan with Golf Manager prior to the commencement of the forthcoming calendar year and shall provide preliminary approval of or comments to Golf Manager within sixty (60) days of Hotel Manager’s receipt of the Proposed Golf Facilities Annual Plan. Within ten (10) business days of Golf Manager’s receipt of Hotel Manager’s and Owner’s comments to the Proposed Golf Facilities Annual Plan, if any, Golf Manager shall make appropriate modifications of the Proposed Golf Facilities Annual Plan to comply with such comments provided that would not result in a breach of or express inconsistency with any provision of this Golf Agreement, and resubmit the same to Hotel Manager and Owner for preliminary approval or comments by Hotel Manager and Owner. This process shall be repeated as necessary until each of Hotel Manager and Owner has finally approved the Proposed Golf Facilities Annual Plan but the Parties will use their best effort to conclude this process not later than January 1 of the year in question. Golf Manager understands and agrees that the Proposed Golf Facilities Annual Plan, as preliminarily approved by the Hotel Manager and Owner, shall become an element of the Resort’s annual plan and budget, including its Capital Budget submitted by Hotel Manager to Owner for review and final approval (the “Operating Plan and Budget”), which approval may be given after the beginning of the calendar year for which the plan was originally proposed. Upon final approval of the Proposed Golf Facilities Annual Plan by Hotel Manager and Owner the same shall be the “Golf Facilities Annual Plan” for the year in question.

Hotel Manager and Owner may require modification of the Golf Facilities Annual Plan during the calendar year subject to the Plan to reflect a Resort-wide expense reduction program expressed on a uniform percentage or other uniform basis. Further, the Parties agree

that failure to achieve, during any operating year, the budgeted operating profit of the Golf Facilities, as approved by Hotel Manager and Owner in any Golf Facilities Annual Plan, may result, upon the mutual written agreement of the Parties and Owner or at the joint direction of Hotel Manager and Owner, in cancellation or modification of expense and/or capital projects previously approved in the Golf Facilities Annual Plan.

Golf Manager agrees to use diligent efforts to ensure that the actual costs of maintaining and operating the Golf Facilities shall not exceed the approved Golf Facilities Annual Plan, either in total or in any one category. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Golf Manager may elect to reapply savings within any particular budget categories of the Golf Facilities Annual Plan to other categories provided that (i) no single reapplication of savings shall exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 10% of the budget category from which savings are realized, (ii) the total of all reapplied savings in any operating year shall not exceed 5% of the total expenses reflected in the applicable Golf Facilities Annual Plan, and (iii) the Hotel Manager’s prior written approval shall in all events be required for expenditures in the capital expenditures budget category that are in excess of the amounts authorized therefore in the most recent Golf Facilities Annual Plan. Golf Manager agrees to immediately inform Hotel Manager and Owner in writing of any actual or anticipated increase in costs and/or expenses for items that were reflected in such approved budget prior to such expenditure obtain Hotel Manager’s and Owner’s written approval of such change and otherwise comply with Article 3.02(c).

No tournament shall be scheduled without obtaining the prior written approval of Hotel Manager and Owner in each case, in their sole discretion. Hotel Manager shall provide group coordinators to manage tournaments booked by the Golf Manager and the Hotel Manager.

Approval shall take into consideration whether Hotel Manager is pursuing the group for the same business, and whether Hotel Manager reasonably believes the tee times the group would utilize would be needed for group or other Resort business. The general manager of the Resort and the Director-Golf Operations shall meet and/or communicate periodically concerning policies and procedures for tee time allocation and booking, always recognizing the need for priority of Resort Guests as determined by Hotel Manager.

The cost of any or all of the insurance policies required by this Golf Agreement or actually provided by Owner with respect to the Golf Facilities shall be paid by Hotel Manager, from Resort revenues, on behalf of Owner, as an Operating Expense. All insurance coverage required by Golf Manager shall include Hotel Manager (together with each partner or member in Hotel Manager as applicable), Owner, the holder of any superior lease, and any mortgagee and Golf Manager as additional insureds and shall be placed with reputable insurance companies reasonably acceptable to Hotel Manager and Owner. All insurance policies shall contain an express waiver of subrogation against Hotel Manager, Owner or Golf Manager to the extent they are not an insured thereunder. Any insurance required by Hotel Manager or Golf Manager hereunder may be provided under blanket policies of insurance.

Contemporaneously with execution of this Golf Agreement, each Party shall provide the other with certificates of insurance for the insurance provided by such Party, which certificates shall name the other Party as an additional insured as its interests appear with respect to the insurance required in this Article 6. At least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of any insurance policy, the Party required to provide the same shall provide a replacement certificate evidencing that such insurance has been renewed or replaced in accordance with the requirements of this Article. Each certificate shall provide the certificate holder with at least thirty (30) days notice of any nonrenewal or cancellation and in the event such notice is issued, the Party required to provide such insurance shall provide a replacement certificate satisfying the requirements of this Article within ten (10) days. In the event of noncompliance by a Party with the foregoing requirements, in addition to all other rights and remedies that the other Party may have under this Golf Agreement, the other Party may provide the required coverage and obtain reimbursement, as appropriate, for the cost thereof from the noncomplying Party.

ARTICLE VII GOLF MANAGER’S COMPENSATION

7.01 Base Management Fee and Supplemental Fee. In consideration of the performance of its management duties and obligations hereunder, and in addition to the amounts reimbursable to Golf Manager pursuant to Article 4.01 above, Hotel Manager or Owner shall pay to Golf Manager throughout the Term a “Base Management Fee” and a “Supplemental Fee”,

provided in Articles 7.02 and 7.03 below. Both the Base Management Fee and the Supplemental Fee are to be paid by Hotel Manager, on behalf of Owner, out of Resort revenues, or, if Resort revenues are insufficient, directly by Owner. Hotel Manager shall have no personal obligation to pay such amounts to Golf Manager. The Base Management Fee, but not the Supplemental Fee, shall be an Operating Expense under the Resort Management Agreement.

7.02 Base Management Fee. From and after the Effective Date, Golf Manager shall receive a Base Management Fee equal to two percent (2%) of Golf Operating Revenue, payable within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar month for the preceding calendar month (subject to annual adjustment upon submission of the Monthly Operating Report, including year-end financial information and audited financial statements) pursuant to Article 4.01(u).

7.03 Supplemental Fee. From and after the Effective Date, Golf Manager shall receive a Supplemental Fee equal to $800,000, payable as follows, without interest accruing thereon, until such time as the Supplemental Fee has been paid in full:

(i) From the Effective Date through the first anniversary date of the Effective Date, an amount equal to 0.5% of Golf Operating Revenue;

(ii) From the first anniversary date of the Effective Date through the remainder of the Term, an amount equal to 0.75% of Golf Operating Revenue; and

(iii) Commencing with the calendar year beginning January 1, 2005, if the Golf Operating Revenue during any calendar year during the Term is greater than $14,000,000, then Golf Manager shall be entitled to receive towards payment of the Supplemental Fee an amount equal to the following: (A) 15% of any amount of Golf Operating Revenue between $14,000,000 and $14,499,999; (b) 17.5% of any amount of Golf Operating Revenue between $14,500,000 and $14,999,999; and (C) 20% of any Golf Operating Revenue in excess of $15,000,000.

The Hotel Manager shall pay, on behalf of Owner, the Supplemental Fee as soon as the items described in clauses (a) through (f) of Section 3.5.4 of the Resort Management Agreement have been paid, but before the items described in clauses (h) through (j) have been paid, as provided in the document attached hereto as Exhibit N (the capitalized terms used but not defined therein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Resort Management Agreement). The Supplemental Fee payable with respect to subsections (i) and (ii) above shall be payable within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month for the preceding calendar month (subject to annual adjustment upon submission of the Monthly Operating Report, including year-end financial information and audited financial statements) pursuant to Article 4.01(u) after the Owner’s receipt thereof. The Supplemental Fee payable with respect to subsection (iii) above shall be computed annually, based upon cumulative Golf Operating Revenue for the calendar year, and payment shall be made to Golf Manager within thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt by Owner of audited financial statements for such calendar year.

Except as otherwise provided in this Article 7.03, Article 8.03, and Article 8.04, upon the earlier of (i) April 30, 2010, or (ii) expiration or earlier termination of this Golf Agreement for any reason, including upon a termination of the Resort Management Agreement (and as a condition to any such expiration or earlier termination of this Golf Agreement), Owner

shall pay to Golf Manager on April 30, 2010 or the expiration date or the effective date of such termination, as applicable, an amount equal to any amount remaining outstanding on the Supplemental Fee (i.e., the Supplemental Fee less any amounts previously paid to Golf Manager pursuant to this Article 7.03 prior to the expiration date or effective date of termination); provided, however, if this Golf Agreement is terminated as a result of an Event of Default on the part of Golf Manager in accordance with the terms of Article 15, neither Hotel Manager nor Owner shall be obligated to deliver to Golf Manager any amount remaining outstanding on the Supplemental Fee (except for any amounts that have been earned pursuant to this Article 7.03 but that remain unpaid as of the effective date of termination).

In addition, in the event Owner sells the Golf Facilities or the Resort (which shall include any “change in control” of Owner), subject to the following proviso, Owner shall pay to Golf Manager on the effective date of such sale (or “change in control”) any amount remaining outstanding on the Supplemental Fee; provided, however, no amounts shall be due from Owner in respect thereof if the transferee of the Golf Facilities or the Resort, as the case may be: (a) agrees in writing to assume Owner’s obligations with respect to the Supplemental Fee; (b) has financial resources sufficient to enable it to satisfy the Owner’s obligations with respect to the Supplemental Fee; (c) is not generally recognized in the community as being of ill repute; and (d) has assumed and agreed to be bound by all of the terms of this Golf Agreement with respect to the obligations thereunder accruing from and after the effective date of Owner’s transfer of its obligations under this Golf Agreement to the transferee. For purposes of this Article 7.03, a “change in control” is evidenced by the transfer of power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of Owner, whether through the direct or indirect ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding voting interests or securities of Owner, by contract or credit agreement or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Golf Agreement to the contrary, no change of control shall be deemed to have occurred in the event that Owner (or any of its Affiliates) causes a transfer to occur consistent with its formation of a liquidating trust.

In connection with the determination of the Management Fee and the Supplemental Fee payable to Golf Manager with respect to the Golf Facilities, Hotel Manager and Owner shall provide to Golf Manager such records and information with respect to the Golf Facilities as may be reasonably necessary for Golf Manager to calculate the Base Management Fee and Supplemental Fee. In addition, Golf Manager shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to retain independent public accountants to consult with Hotel Manager’s or Owner’s independent public accountants (or its internal accounting department) to confirm the accuracy of the information related to the Management Fee and the Supplemental Fee. In the event that, as a result of such examination, it is discovered that the Management Fee or Supplemental Fee has been overpaid or underpaid then the affected party shall return such overpayment, or pay such underpayment, as the case may be, within ten (10) calendar days after such delivery.

7.04 Definitions.

(a) For purposes hereof, “Golf Operating Revenue” shall mean revenue and income of any kind derived from the following operations at the Golf Facilities: greens fees, cart fees, pro shop sales, club rental fees, member dues and initiation fees, lesson fees (only the portion received by the Golf Facilities, if services are provided by independent contractors), and revenues derived from On-Course Food and Beverage Operations (provided that and for so long

as Golf Manager is responsible for on-course food and beverage operations), and determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”) which are properly attributable to the period under consideration, and specifically excluding the following, without limitation:

(i) applicable excise, sales, occupancy and use taxes, or similar government charges collected directly from patrons or guests, or as part of the sales price of any goods, services, or displays, such as gross receipts, admission, cabaret, or similar or equivalent taxes;

(ii) receipts from the financing, refinancing, sale, master lease or other disposition of capital assets or any portion of the Golf Facilities;

(iii) receipts from Taking awards or sales or other transfers in lieu of or under the threat of Taking, and other receipts in connection with any Taking, but only to the extent that such amounts are specifically identified as compensation for alterations or physical damage to the Golf Facilities;

(iv) proceeds of any insurance, judgment or other award, including the proceeds of any Business Interruption insurance;

(v) receipts from food and beverage sales other than from On-Course Food and Beverage Operations;

(vi) discounts, rebates or credits of a similar nature (not including charge or credit card discounts paid to credit card companies, which shall not constitute a reduction from revenues in determining Golf Operating Revenue);

(vii) any credit for individual or business development-related complimentary golf (e.g., there shall be no credit toward Golf Operating Revenue for any complimentary golf); and

(viii) gratuities or services charges collected for payment to and paid to Golf Facilities Employees or other personnel.

To the extent applicable, Golf Operating Revenue shall be calculated (and isolated from gross revenue for the rest of the Resort) according to the Uniform System of Accounts for Hotels, 9th Revised Edition, or such later editions as may be adopted by the International Association of Hospitality Accountants.

(b) For purposes hereof, “Operating Expenses” shall have the meaning provided in the Resort Management Agreement. No such change to the definition of Operating Expenses in the Resort Management Agreement, shall occur which is materially prejudicial to Golf Manager without Golf Manager’s prior written approval, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

7.05 Allocation of Revenue and Costs for Resort/Golf Packages. The Parties acknowledge that Hotel Manager, Golf Manager and/or third parties from time to time

arrange group bookings, special promotions and other “packaged” resort programs that include a combination of Resort accommodations and use of Resort facilities, including the Golf Facilities, at discounted prices. To the extent the allocation of such revenues was not addressed in the Golf Facilities Annual Plan process, the Parties agree to allocate the revenues for such Resort packages, together with related commissions and other costs, on a case-by-case basis between the Golf Facilities and the Resort based upon market conditions and operations at the Resort and the Golf Facilities as a whole. If there is a fundamental change in the way that Hotel Manager conducts its business with respect to the utilization of the Golf Facilities, or individual circumstances require a change, such that it is advantageous to the Resort and the Golf Facilities as a whole to allocate revenues between the Resort and the Golf Facilities in a way that was not contemplated in the Golf Facilities Annual Plan, and such allocation negatively impacts the Base Management Fee or the Supplemental Fee, then Hotel Manager and Golf Manager shall negotiate in good faith to modify the Golf Operating Revenue by providing a “credit” to Golf Operating Revenue that takes into account such change for purposes of calculating the Management Fee.

ARTICLE VIII TERM OF GOLF AGREEMENT, POST-TERMINATION PROCEDURES, AND TERMINATION RIGHTS

8.01 Term. This Golf Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms (including any termination under Article 9 below), until the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Term”).

8.02 Without Cause Termination. At any time during the Term of this Golf Agreement, Hotel Manager shall have the right, without cause, to terminate this Golf Agreement on not less than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days’ prior written notice; provided, however, in no event shall such termination occur without Owner’s prior written approval, which Owner may grant or not in its sole discretion. As a condition to any termination pursuant to this Article 8.02, Owner shall pay to Golf Manager on the effective date of such termination, a lump sum termination fee (the “Termination Fee”) equal to (i) $50,000, plus any amount remaining outstanding on the Supplemental Fee, if the effective date of the termination occurs on or before December 31, 2005; or (ii) any amount remaining outstanding on the Supplemental Fee, if the effective date of the termination occurs after December 31, 2005. The receipt of the Termination Fee, together with any amount due and owing Golf Manager pursuant to Article 8.04 below, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Golf Manager against Hotel Manager and Owner (and their respective Affiliates) upon any termination of this Golf Agreement by Hotel Manager (and Owner’s prior written approval thereof) pursuant to this Article 8.02. Nothing in this Article 8.02 shall be deemed to impair any right of Hotel Manager to terminate this Golf Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article 9.01.

8.03 Deleted.

8.04 Termination of Resort Management Agreement.

(a) If Owner terminates the Resort Management Agreement pursuant to any of (i) Sections 4.3 (Termination for Failure to Achieve Performance Test), (ii) 7.2 (Termination after Substantial Insured Casualty), (iii) 7.3 (Substantial Uninsured Casualty – Owner’s Option to Terminate or Restore), (iv) 7.5 (Permanent Taking), or (v) 7.6 (Taking for Temporary Use) of the Resort Management Agreement, this Golf Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the effective date of the termination of the Resort Management Agreement.

(b) If the Resort Management Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 4.2 (Event of Default) of the Resort Management Agreement, or for any reason other than as set forth in Article 8.04(a) above, this Golf Agreement shall automatically terminate unless Owner, within ten (10) days of the termination of the Resort Management Agreement for such reason(s), notifies Golf Manager that Owner has elected to succeed to all of the rights of the Hotel Manager hereunder, in which event Golf Manager shall attorn to the Owner and recognize Owner as successor to Hotel Manager hereunder, and Golf Manager shall execute any documents which Owner may require to effectuate the provisions of this Article 8.04(b).

(c) In the event of a termination of this Golf Agreement pursuant to Article 8.04(a)(i) above or as a result of an termination of the Resort Management Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Resort Management Agreement, neither Owner nor Hotel Manager shall be obligated to deliver to Golf Manager any amount remaining outstanding on the Supplemental Fee (except for any amounts that have been earned pursuant to Article 7.03 but that remain unpaid as of the effective date of termination) or any Termination Fee. If the Resort Management Agreement is terminated for any reason other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and the Golf Agreement is concurrently terminated, then Owner shall, upon the effective date of such termination of the Resort Management Agreement, deliver to Golf Manager any amount remaining outstanding on the Supplemental Fee.

8.05 Termination of this Agreement. If this Golf Agreement is terminated as a result of a taking pursuant to Article 10.02, or as a result of an Event of Default of Golf Manager under Article 9.01, neither Owner nor Hotel Manager shall be obligated to deliver to Golf Manager any amount remaining outstanding on the Supplemental Fee (except for any amounts that have been earned pursuant to Article 7.03 but that remain unpaid as of the effective date of termination) or any Termination Fee.

8.06 Post-Termination Procedures. On the effective date of any termination of this Golf Agreement, for any reason, Golf Manager shall immediately turn over to Hotel Manager (in the event the Resort Management Agreement has not been terminated) all funds held for the Golf Facilities, all equipment, inventory, supplies and materials, and all originals of all books, records, permits, plans, leases, licenses, contracts and other documents and records in whatever form maintained (e.g., ledgers, computer files) relating to the Golf Facilities subject to the immediately following sentence, any other property of Hotel Manager or Owner or acquired with the funds of either or Operating Expenses, and such authorizations and letters of direction addressed to other persons as Hotel Manager may reasonably require; and Golf Manager shall fully cooperate with Hotel Manager in the transfer of management responsibilities to Hotel Manager or Owner, as directed, or their respective designee. Upon the expiration, or earlier termination for any reason, of this Golf Agreement, Golf Manager may remove any documents that are proprietary to Golf Manager (e.g., copies of manuals, copies of software programs that

can be removed without disruption of the continuous operation of the Golf Facilities and copies of internal correspondence of a proprietary nature).

Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Golf Agreement, for any reason, Hotel Manager shall pay to Golf Manager (out of funds from the operation of the Resort or as may otherwise be provided by Owner) in addition to any other amounts due pursuant to this Golf Agreement, (i) its reasonable out-of-pocket costs (as may be approved by Owner in advance) incurred by reason of requests by Hotel Manager for assistance after termination or expiration of this Golf Agreement not otherwise required under this Golf Agreement or expected of Golf Manager in the orderly termination of its operations at the Golf Facilities, (ii) subject to the limitations contained in Articles 8.04 and 8.05 hereof, any unpaid fees and other charges and reimbursements then actually due Golf Manager under this Golf Agreement, and (iii) to the extent reasonable and consistent with Golf Manager’s standard practices and (subject to Hotel Manager’s reasonable approval) industry standards, termination related employee expenses, including sick, vacation, pension, bonus and termination payments to employees less any forfeitures of benefits previously paid for.

The Parties will comply with all applicable laws and legal requirements related to these matters, including, but not limited to, compliance with the WARN Act, in a manner that avoids any disruption of operation of the Golf Facilities.

To effectuate a smooth transition, at Hotel Manager’s cost, Golf Manager will further fully cooperate with Hotel Manager with respect to any open purchase orders; required or advisable insurance notifications; required or advisable credit card company notifications; pending litigation; required or advisable vendor and employee communications; removal of Golf Manager trademarks; public relations, publications, promotional materials and related items; transition of information technology; transition of telecommunication systems; transition of sales and marketing programs; transfer to Hotel Manager of any liquor licenses related to On-Course Food and Beverage Operations; and any other matters reasonably required by Hotel Manager.

This Article 8.06 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Golf Agreement.

At any time during the Term of this Golf Agreement, if any of the following events (the “Events of Default”) occur and continue beyond the applicable grace period for curing such Event of Default (if any, as specified below), the non-defaulting Party may, at its option, terminate this Golf Agreement by giving notice to the defaulting Party specifying an effective date of such termination of not less than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice; provided, however, that in the case of termination by Golf Manager,

the effective date of termination shall not be less than ninety (90) days unless Owner is willing to accept any lesser period of time. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default not subject to any grace period for curing such Event of Default, and at any time while such Event of Default is continuing, the Party not in default may declare this Golf Agreement to be immediately terminated. Upon any termination pursuant to this Article 9.01, Golf Manager shall immediately vacate the Golf Facilities, subject to the post-termination procedures provided in Article 8.06 above.

9.02 Remedies and Enforcement. In addition to any remedies provided herein for an Event of Default, the non-defaulting Party shall have all other legal or equitable remedies allowed under applicable law, except that each Party voluntarily waives and relinquishes any right or ability to obtain punitive or exemplary damages. No failure on the part of a Party to exercise any of its rights hereunder arising on any Event of Default shall prejudice its rights on the occurrence of any other or subsequent Event of Default. No delay on the part of a Party in exercising any such rights shall preclude it from the exercise thereof at any time while that Event of Default is continuing. A Party may enforce any one or more remedies or rights hereunder successively or concurrently.

BOTH PARTIES FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ARE

EXPERIENCED IN NEGOTIATING AGREEMENTS OF THIS SORT, HAVE HAD THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, AND HAVE BEEN ADVISED AS TO, AND FULLY UNDERSTAND, THE NATURE OF THE WAIVERS HEREIN CONTAINED.

ARTICLE X DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION; EMINENT DOMAIN

10.01 Damage or Destruction. Golf Manager shall promptly notify Hotel Manager and Owner upon learning of any potential or actual damage to or destruction of the Golf Facilities. If any part of the Golf Facilities is damaged or destroyed, at Owner’s option, Golf Manager, in addition to the other duties enumerated herein, shall cause such damage to be repaired at Owner’s expense according to Golf Manager’s discussions with and instructions of Hotel Manager and Owner (including an approved budget therefore) and as provided in this Golf Agreement. Alternatively, Owner may conduct such repairs with the full cooperation of Golf Manager, or Owner may determine not to perform such repairs, to rebuild in a manner different from pre-existing improvements or some combination thereof, pursuant to the Resort Management Agreement.

In the event Golf Manager is to proceed with repairs, Golf Manager, in coordination with Owner’s consultants, contractors, architects and other consultants, shall inspect, monitor and supervise all reconstruction or repair work on a periodic basis to ensure that the Golf Facilities is being repaired orderly, efficiently, and all in a manner approved in writing in advance by Hotel Manager, and Golf Manager shall advise and consult with Hotel Manager at such times as Hotel Manager shall request with respect to such reconstruction or repair. The fees payable to Golf Manager for such activity shall be determined in an agreement between Owner and Golf Manager and shall not be included in the determination of “Operating Expenses” under the Resort Management Agreement.

Golf Manager acknowledges and agrees that the Owner has the right, in certain circumstances, to terminate the Resort Management Agreement following damage to or destruction of the Golf Facilities and that, pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof, such termination of the Resort Management Agreement will operate to automatically terminate this Golf Agreement.

10.02 Eminent Domain. After June 30, 2005, this Golf Agreement may be terminated by either Party on the date of a taking (no grace period shall apply) of either a fee interest in or a perpetual easement on, or a temporary use of for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, all or any part of the Golf Facilities that results in the Golf Facilities having less than eighteen (18) holes. For purposes of this Golf Agreement, the term “Taking” shall mean a taking as a result of condemnation or eminent domain, or a conveyance by Owner in lieu thereof, of all or part of the Golf Facilities. Golf Manager acknowledges and agrees that the Owner has the right, in certain circumstances, to terminate the Resort Management Agreement following a “Taking” (as defined therein) of the Golf Facilities and that, pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof, such termination of the Resort Management Agreement will operate to automatically terminate this Golf Agreement.

ARTICLE XI COMMUNICATIONS FROM THIRD PERSONS

11.01 Communications From Third Persons. Golf Manager shall advise Hotel Manager and Owner immediately in person, by telephone, facsimile or hand delivery, with prompt confirmation by mail (including the sending of the document received by Golf Manager) of the service on Golf Manager of any summons, subpoena or similar legal document, or of the receipt by Golf Manager of any notices, letters or other communications setting forth or claiming any (i) actual or alleged potential criminal activity of Hotel Manager, Owner, or the Golf Facilities, or (ii) actual or alleged potential civil liability of Hotel Manager, Owner or the Golf Facilities in excess of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000). All other notices, letters or other communications related to any actual or potential liability shall be brought to the attention of the Hotel Manager’s general manager by Golf Manager no less often than weekly, together with concurrent copies to Owner. At Hotel Manager’s option and upon reasonable notice to Golf Manager, any or all of these items shall be required to be brought to the attention of another representative of Hotel Manager, in lieu or in addition to the general manager.

ARTICLE XII ASSIGNMENT

12.01 Assignment by Golf Manager.

(a) This Golf Agreement is personal to Golf Manager, and Golf Manager agrees that, except as provided in this Article 12.01, it shall not transfer this Golf Agreement or subcontract the performance of its duties hereunder, either voluntarily or by operation of law, without the advance written consent of Owner and Hotel Manager, which consent may be withheld in Owner’s or Hotel Manager’s sole discretion. A “transfer” shall include a change in control of Golf Manager as evidenced by the transfer of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of Golf Manager, whether through the direct or indirect ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding voting interests or securities of Golf Manager, by contract or credit arrangement or otherwise, but shall exclude a public offering by Golf Manager of its securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or any successor statutory provision. Golf Manager shall have the right, without the consent (but upon written notice to, together with all legal documents) of Owner or Hotel Manager, to assign this Golf Agreement, whether by operation of law or otherwise,

(i) to any wholly owned subsidiary of Golf Manager, or

(ii) in connection with the sale of Golf Manager (whether by sale of substantially all of Golf Manager’s assets, a change in control of Golf Manager resulting from a transfer or issuance of member interest, partnership interest or stock, a merger, a consolidation or otherwise),

provided, however, that in any such case the assignee/transferee thereafter (i) continues to operate the golf course and club management business of Golf Manager; (ii) has, on a pro forma basis, for the twelve months ending immediately prior to the assignment a net worth that equals or exceeds the average of Golf Manager’s net worth at the end of its preceding two (2) calendar

years, and (iii) retains and employs not less than two thirds (2/3) of Golf Manager’s Key Employees, and, in addition (but included in such two thirds (2/3) calculation), at least one of the chief executive officer or chief operating officer, for at least twelve (12) months following the assignment or transfer, such Key Employees remaining in positions of authority and responsibility comparable to the positions held by such individuals prior to Golf Manager undertaking the negotiations that led to the assignment or transfer. For the purposes hereof, “Key Employees” shall mean the corporate employees of Golf Manager holding the title of Senior Vice President or higher. Hotel Manager shall have the right to terminate this Golf Agreement if any of conditions (i), (ii) or (iii) above are not satisfied continually or for the stated period.

(b) As a condition precedent to an assignment, any assignee shall assume and agree in an Assignment and Assumption reasonably acceptable to Hotel Manager to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Golf Agreement for the benefit of Owner and Hotel Manager. No Assignment and Assumption shall constitute or result in a release of Golf Manager from continuing responsibility and liability hereunder, jointly and severally with the assignee. In the event Golf Manager is required under the terms of this Article 12.01 to seek the consent of Owner to a transfer in connection with a change of control, Golf Manager shall give to Owner and/or Hotel Manager written notice seeking such consent and Owner and Hotel Manager shall have sixty (60) days within in which to respond to such notice. In the event Golf Manager seeks such consent and Owner or Hotel Manager declines to so consent, if Golf Manager elects to proceed with such transfer, then Owner and Hotel Manager shall have the right to terminate this Golf Agreement. Owner and Hotel Manager may exercise such right to terminate by sending written notice to Golf Manager to terminate at any time on or before the date that is ninety (90) days after Golf Manager’s and Owner’s receipt of notification from the Golf Manager regarding the consummation of such transfer. The notice of election to terminate shall specify the effective date of the termination. In the event Golf Manager attempts or completes an assignment that does not comply with this Article 12.01, such assignment or subcontracting shall be void, and Golf Manager shall be deemed to have committed a non-curable breach of this Golf Agreement.

12.02 Assignment by Hotel Manager. In the event Hotel Manager assigns its rights and obligations under the Resort Management Agreement to a third party in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.2 of the Resort Management Agreement, Hotel Manager shall have the right to concurrently assign its rights and obligations under this Golf Agreement to such assignee, subject to satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 9.2 of the Resort Management Agreement.

12.03 Assignment by Owner.

20% of the management fee or consulting fee income received by Golf Manager from such management or consulting agreement during the Term of this Golf Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any breach by Golf Manager of this Article 14.07 may result in irreparable injury to Owner and, therefore, Golf Manager agrees and consents that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to it at law or equity (which shall include, without limitation, the right to seek monetary damages (including, without limitation, the right to seek damages related to lost profits at the Resort) which may be greater than the amount paid by Hotel Manager to Golf Manager under this Golf Agreement), as well as the termination of this Golf Agreement, Hotel Manager or Owner shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and a permanent injunction to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of this Article 14.07.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, this Article 14.07 shall not be applicable to golf facilities that are exclusively private clubs (i.e., golf facilities that have neither a resort play or other public play component). Golf Manager agrees that the terms of this Article 14.07 (including, without limitation, the duration and the Radius Restriction) are reasonable and that any breach of or default by Golf Manager of this Section 14.07 will cause damage to Hotel Manager and Owner in an amount difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in addition to any other relief to which Hotel Manager and Owner may be entitled, Hotel Manager and/or Owner shall be entitled, without proof of actual damages, to such injunctive relief as may be ordered by any court of competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation, any injunction restraining any violation of this Section 14.07.
