ARTICLE III
EFFECT ON THE SHARE CAPITAL OF THE PARTIES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

SECTION 3.1. Effect on Share Capital. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger:

(a) Cancellation of Treasury Shares and Party-Owned Shares. Each GOGL Common Share held in the treasury of GOGL, and each GOGL Common Share owned by KSL or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of KSL or of GOGL immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

(b) Conversion of GOGL Common Shares. Each issued and outstanding GOGL Common Share (other than any shares cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and any Dissenting Shares) shall be cancelled and shall be converted automatically, payable upon surrender in the manner provided in Section 3.2 of the certificate formerly evidencing such share, into the right to receive a number of KSL Common Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio (such KSL Common Shares into which GOGL Common Shares are converted hereunder, in the aggregate, the "Merger Consideration").

(c) Effect on KSL Common Shares. Each KSL Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares and any KSL Common Shares owned by GOGL or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of GOGL) shall remain issued and outstanding after the Effective Time without change or adjustment, and each KSL Common Share owned by GOGL or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of GOGL shall be cancelled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

SECTION 3.2. Exchange of Certificates or Non-Certificated Shares.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, and in any case not later than the date on which GOGL shall mail the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to the holders of GOGL Common Shares, KSL shall enter into an agreement or arrangement with such bank, trust company or Person that may be designated by KSL and is reasonably acceptable to GOGL to serve as the exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") in connection with the conversion of GOGL Common Shares contemplated by this Article III if an Exchange Agent is required in the circumstances. At or immediately subsequent to the Effective Time, KSL shall authorize the Exchange Agent to issue an aggregate number of KSL Common Shares equal to the Merger Consideration, as well as certificates or noncertificated KSL Common Shares in book-entry form evidencing such shares. KSL shall make available to the Exchange Agent, for addition to the Exchange Fund, from time to time as needed, cash sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional share in accordance with Section 3.2(d).

(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, KSL shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of GOGL Common Shares entitled to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1: (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form and shall

specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates evidencing such shares (together with any book entry shares, the "Certificates") shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates pursuant to such letter of transmittal, including instructions for use in effecting surrender of Certificates (or attaching affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or non-certificated shares represented by book-entry. In addition, GOGL shall use its reasonable best efforts to make the letter of transmittal available to all Persons who become holders of GOGL Common Shares during the period between such record date and the date of the GOGL Shareholders' Meeting. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled in the form of a certificate or in the form of noncertificated book-entry shares representing that number of whole KSL Common Shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the GOGL Common Shares formerly represented by such Certificate (after taking into account all GOGL Common Shares then held by such holder), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.2, each Certificate shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to the GOGL Common Shares formerly represented thereby. In the event of a transfer of ownership of GOGL Common Shares that is not registered in the register of members of GOGL, any cash to be paid upon, or KSL Common Shares to be issued upon due surrender of the Certificate formerly representing such GOGL Common Shares may be paid or issued, as the case may be, to the transferee if such Certificate is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable share transfer or similar Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged KSL Common Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to KSL Common Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate the right of receipt of which is represented thereby, until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to the effect of escheat, tax or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole KSL Common Shares issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) promptly, the amount of any cash payable with respect to a fractional KSL Common Share to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article III and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such whole KSL Common Shares, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such whole KSL Common Shares.

(d) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional KSL Common Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof the right to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of KSL. Each holder of a fractional share interest shall be paid an amount in

cash (without interest) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) such fractional share interest to which such holder (after taking into account all fractional share interests then held by such holder) would otherwise be entitled by (ii) the closing price of a KSL Common Share on the Nasdaq on the last trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time. As promptly as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of fractional share interests, the Exchange Agent shall so notify KSL, and KSL shall deposit such amount with the Exchange Agent and shall cause the Exchange Agent to forward payments to such holders of fractional share interests subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Article III.

(e) No Further Ownership Rights. The Merger Consideration issued (and paid) in accordance with the terms of this Article III upon conversion of any GOGL Common Shares shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such GOGL Common Shares subject, however, to KSL's obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that may have been declared or made by GOGL on such GOGL Common Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or prior to the date of this Agreement and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time.

(f) Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. The Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any share split, reverse share split, share subdivision, share bonus issue, share dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into KSL Common Shares or GOGL Common Shares), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, share consolidation, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to KSL Common Shares or GOGL Common Shares occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares will be returned to KSL, upon demand. In addition, any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest and other income received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the holders of GOGL Common Shares for six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to KSL, upon demand, and any holders of GOGL Common Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to KSL for the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions with respect to KSL Common Shares to which they are entitled pursuant to this Article III. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest and other income received with respect thereto) remaining unclaimed by holders of GOGL Common Shares as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of KSL free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h) No Liability. KSL shall not be liable to any holder of GOGL Common Shares for any KSL Common Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), or cash properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(i) Withholding Rights. KSL shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of GOGL Common Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law, if any. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by KSL, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the GOGL Common Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by KSL.

(j) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by KSL, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as KSL may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of KSL Common Shares to which the holders thereof are entitled and any dividends, other distributions or payments of principal or interest to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to this Article III.

(k) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled (but shall not entitle their holders to receive or retain KSL Common Shares pursuant to Section 3.1) and shall be converted into the right to receive the fair value thereof under Section 106 of the Bermuda Companies Act (provided that if a Dissenting Shareholder fails to perfect effectively, withdraws or waives or loses such dissenters' rights action, such Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive or retain KSL Common Shares pursuant to Section 3.1). Each of the Parties shall give the other Party (a) prompt notice of (i) any demands for appraisal of Dissenting Shares or attempted negotiations to settle or attempted withdrawal or withdrawals of such demands received by such Party and any other instruments served under the Bermuda Companies Act and received by such Party relating to any Dissenting Shareholder's right to be paid the fair value of such Dissenting Shareholder's Dissenting Shares and (ii) any applications to the Supreme Court of Bermuda for appraisal of the fair value of the Dissenting Shares and (b) the right and opportunity to participate in any and all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any written demands for appraisal under the Bermuda Companies Act. Neither Party shall, without the prior written consent of the other Party, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer to settle, any such demands or applications, or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or timely take any other action to perfect appraisal rights in accordance with the Bermuda Companies Act.

SECTION 3.3. Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the register of members of GOGL shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of GOGL Common Shares thereafter on the records of GOGL. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing GOGL Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such GOGL Common Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates are presented to the Exchange Agent or KSL for any reason for transfer, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the proper Merger Consideration subject to and in accordance with the terms and requirements of this Article III.

SECTION 3.4. GOGL Share Options.

(a) GOGL Options. All GOGL Options shall remain outstanding following the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, the GOGL Options shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of GOGL or the holder thereof (and GOGL hereby covenants and agrees, prior to the Effective Time, to take all actions and to obtain all agreements of holders of GOGL Options as are necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 3.4), be assumed by KSL in such manner as described herein. From and after the Effective Time, all references to GOGL in the GOGL Option Plan and in the applicable share option agreements issued thereunder shall be deemed to refer to KSL, which shall have assumed the GOGL Option Plan and such share option agreements as of the Effective Time by virtue of this Agreement and without any further action. Each GOGL Option assumed by KSL (each, a "Substitute Option") shall be exercisable upon the same terms and conditions as under the GOGL Option Plan and the applicable option agreement issued thereunder (including vesting provisions), except that (A) each such Substitute Option shall be exercisable for (or shall become exercisable in accordance with its terms), and represent the right to acquire, that number of KSL Common Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of GOGL Common Shares subject to such GOGL Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, and (B) the option price per KSL Common Share shall be an amount (rounded up to the nearest cent) equal to the quotient of (i) the exercise price per GOGL Common Share subject to such GOGL Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. Each Substitute Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as such GOGL Option.

(b) Substitute Options. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, KSL shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each holder of a Substitute Option an appropriate notice setting forth such holder's rights pursuant thereto and such Substitute Option shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 3.4 after giving effect to the Merger). KSL shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of KSL Common Shares for delivery upon exercise of Substitute Options pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 3.4. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the KSL Common Shares subject to Substitute Options will be covered by an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) or another appropriate form, and KSL shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements for so long as Substitute Options remain outstanding.

SECTION 3.5. GOGL Convertible Bonds. GOGL and KSL shall take all such action as may be reasonably necessary so that upon the Effective Time, KSL and the Surviving Company shall be in compliance with the Bond Agreement, including the execution of an agreement supplemental to and amending the Bond Agreement in compliance with Section 15.1 of the Bond Agreement and to provide among other things that on and after the Effective Time the GOGL Convertible Bonds will be convertible only into KSL Common Shares as provided in Section 15.1 of the Bond Agreement. KSL shall take all corporate actions necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of KSL Common Shares for delivery upon conversion of the GOGL Convertible Bonds in accordance with their terms as so amended. GOGL agrees to give all notices required to be given by GOGL under the terms of the Bond Agreement prior to the Effective Time with respect to the Merger, to deliver all documents required under the terms of

the Bond Agreement and to take all actions that are reasonably requested by KSL to carry out the purposes of this Section 3.5 and to cooperate with KSL, and not intentionally hinder or obstruct KSL, in its efforts to do so.

(i) Prior to (but not at any time after) obtaining the KSL Shareholder Approval, KSL, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, may (A) engage in negotiations or discussions with any Third Party and its Representatives or financing sources that has made (and not withdrawn) after the date of this Agreement a bona fide, written KSL Acquisition Proposal that (x) did not result from a breach or violation of the provisions of Section 6.4(a), and (y) the KSL Board reasonably believes in good faith, after consulting with its outside legal and financial advisors, could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and (B) thereafter furnish to such Third Party or its Representatives or its financing sources non-public information relating to KSL or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement (a copy of which shall be provided for informational purposes only to GOGL) with such Third Party containing provisions that expressly permit KSL to comply with the terms of this Section 6.4 if, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), the KSL Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action is reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided that all such information provided or made available to such Third Party (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to GOGL) is provided or made available to GOGL, as the case may be, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party.

(ii) At any time prior to obtaining the KSL Shareholder Approval, in response to a material fact, event, change, development, or set of circumstances (other than a KSL Acquisition Proposal) occurring or arising after the date of this Agreement that was not known or reasonably foreseeable by the KSL Board as of or prior to the date of this Agreement (such material fact, event, change development or set of circumstances, an "Intervening Event"), if the KSL Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal and financial advisors, that in light of such Intervening Event, the failure of the KSL Board to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change is reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the KSL Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, however, that KSL shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.4(b)(ii) unless KSL has (A) provided to GOGL at least three (3) calendar days' prior written notice advising GOGL that the KSL Board intends to take such action and specifying the facts underlying the KSL Board's determination that an Intervening Event has occurred, and the reasons for the Adverse Recommendation Change, in reasonable detail, and (B) during such three (3) calendar days' period, if requested by GOGL, engaged in good faith negotiations with GOGL to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for an Adverse Recommendation Change as a result of the Intervening Event.

(iii) Prior to (but not at any time from or after) obtaining the KSL Shareholder Approval, the KSL Board may, following receipt of and on account of a Superior Proposal, make an Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such Superior Proposal, if such Superior Proposal did not result from a breach or violation of the provisions of this Section 6.4 and the KSL Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal and financial advisors, that in light of such Superior Proposal, the failure of the KSL Board to take such action is reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided, however, the KSL Board shall not be entitled to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with a Superior Proposal unless (A) the KSL Board promptly notifies GOGL, in writing, at least three (3) calendar days (the "Notice Period") before making an Adverse Recommendation Change, of its intention to take such action with respect to such Superior Proposal, which notice shall state expressly that KSL has received a KSL Acquisition Proposal that the KSL Board has determined to be a Superior Proposal and that the KSL Board intends to make an Adverse Recommendation Change; (B) the KSL Board attaches to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement and the identity of the Third Party making such Superior Proposal; (C) during the Notice Period, if requested by GOGL, the KSL Board has engaged, and has directed its Representatives to engage, in negotiations with GOGL in good faith to amend this Agreement in such a manner that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal; and (D) following the Notice Period, the KSL Board shall have determined in good faith, taking into account any changes to this Agreement made or proposed in writing by GOGL, that such Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided, however that with respect to any applicable Superior Proposal, any amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment to a term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notice by the KSL Board and a new Notice Period, and no such Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such Superior Proposal may be made during any Notice Period.

In addition, nothing contained herein shall prevent the KSL Board from (i) complying with Rule 14e-2(a) under the 1934 Act with regard to a KSL Acquisition Proposal so long as any action taken or statement made to so comply is consistent with this Section 6.4; provided that any such action taken or statement made that relates to a KSL Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the KSL Board reaffirms the KSL Board Recommendation in such statement or in connection with such action, or (ii) issuing a "stop, look and listen" disclosure or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the 1934 Act (which it is agreed shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change).

(c) Required Notices. KSL and the KSL Board shall not take any of the actions referred to in Section 6.4(b) unless KSL shall have first complied with the applicable requirements of this Section 6.4(c). KSL shall notify GOGL promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by KSL (or any of its Representatives) of any KSL Acquisition Proposal, including the material terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the Person making such KSL Acquisition Proposal and its proposed financing sources, and shall keep GOGL reasonably informed on a prompt basis (but in any event no later than 24 hours) as to the status (including changes or proposed changes to the material terms) of such KSL Acquisition Proposal. KSL shall also notify GOGL promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by KSL of any request for non-public information relating to KSL or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of KSL or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party that has informed KSL that it is considering making, or has made, a KSL Acquisition Proposal.

(d) Definition of Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement with respect to a KSL Acquisition Proposal, "Superior Proposal" means a bona fide, unsolicited written KSL Acquisition Proposal (provided that, for the purposes of this definition, references to "15%" in the definition of KSL Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed replaced with references to "50%") that (i) is not subject to any financing condition and for which financing has been fully committed or is on hand or the KSL Board determines in good faith after considering the advice of its financial advisor is reasonably capable of being fully financed, (ii) the KSL Board determines in good faith, after considering the advice of its outside counsel and its financial advisor, is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms, taking into account all aspects of the proposal and the identity of the Person making the KSL Acquisition Proposal, and (iii) the KSL Board determines in good faith, after considering the advice of its financial advisor, would result in a transaction more favorable, from a financial point of view to the KSL's shareholders (other than its shareholders who have an interest in GOGL) than the Merger provided hereunder (after taking into account any amendment to this Agreement proposed by GOGL).

SECTION 6.5. No Solicitation by GOGL.

(a) General Prohibitions. Subject to Section 6.5(b) after the date hereof and prior to the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1 and the Effective Time, GOGL and its Subsidiaries shall not (and GOGL shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or any of its Subsidiaries' Representatives not to), directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly take any action to facilitate or encourage the submission of any

GOGL and its Subsidiaries shall (and GOGL shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or any of its Subsidiaries' Representatives to) cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, solicitations, encouragements, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party and its Representatives and its financing sources conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any GOGL Acquisition Proposal or efforts to obtain a GOGL Acquisition Proposal.

(ii) At any time prior to obtaining the GOGL Shareholder Approval, in response to a material fact, event, change, development, or set of circumstances (other than a GOGL Acquisition Proposal) occurring or arising after the date of this Agreement that was not known or reasonably foreseeable by the GOGL Board as of or prior to the date of this Agreement (such material fact, event, change development or set of circumstances, an "Intervening Event"), if the GOGL Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal and financial advisors, that in light of such Intervening Event, the failure of the GOGL Board to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change is reasonably likely to result in a breach of its

fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the GOGL Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, however, that GOGL shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.5(b)(ii) unless GOGL has (A) provided to KSL at least three (3) calendar days' prior written notice advising KSL that the GOGL Board intends to take such action and specifying the facts underlying the GOGL Board's determination that an Intervening Event has occurred, and the reasons for the Adverse Recommendation Change, in reasonable detail, and (B) during such three (3) calendar days' period, if requested by KSL, engaged in good faith negotiations with KSL to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for an Adverse Recommendation Change as a result of the Intervening Event.

SECTION 8.6. Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, KSL shall cause the Surviving Company to, out of the assets of the Surviving Company, indemnify and hold harmless each individual who at the Effective Time is, or at any time prior to Effective Time was, a director or officer of a GOGL Company (each, an "Indemnitee" and, collectively, the "Indemnitees") with respect to all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any Action (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), whenever asserted, based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, (A) the fact

that an Indemnitee was a director or officer of a GOGL Company or (B) acts or omissions by an Indemnitee in the Indemnitee's capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of a GOGL Company or taken at the request of a GOGL Company (including in connection with serving at the request of a GOGL Company as a director, officer, employee, agent, trustee or fiduciary of another Person (including any employee benefit plan)), in each case under clause (A) or (B), at, or at any time prior to, the Effective Time (including any Action relating in whole or in part to the Merger), to the fullest extent that the GOGL Companies would be required to indemnify the Indemnitees under the GOGL Companies Charter Documents.

(b) For the six-year period commencing immediately after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall maintain in effect GOGL's current directors' and officers' liability insurance covering acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time with respect to those individuals who are currently (and any additional individuals who prior to the Effective Time become) covered by GOGL's directors' and officers' liability insurance policies on terms and scope with respect to such coverage, and in amount, no less favorable to such individuals than those of such policy in effect on the date of this Agreement (or KSL may substitute therefor policies, issued by reputable insurers, of at least the same coverage with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time, including a "tail" policy); provided, however, that, if the aggregate premium for such "tail" policy shall exceed 200% of the annual premium paid by GOGL in its last completed fiscal year (such 200% threshold, the "Maximum Premium"), then KSL shall provide or cause to be provided a policy for the applicable individuals with the greatest coverage as shall then be available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Premium.

(c) The provisions of this Section 8.6 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such individual may have under the GOGL Companies Charter Documents, by contract or otherwise. The obligations of KSL and the Surviving Company under this Section 8.6 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 8.6 applies unless (x) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 8.6 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8.6).

(d) In the event that KSL, the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or Surviving Company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of KSL or the Surviving Company shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 8.6.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors' and officers' insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the GOGL Companies for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, in being understood and agreed that the indemnification

provided for in this Section 8.6 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

SECTION 8.7. Exchange Listings. KSL shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the KSL Common Shares issuable in the Merger to be approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance to Nasdaq, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof and in any event prior to the Closing Date, and GOGL shall cooperate with KSL with respect to such approval.

SECTION 11.3. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each Party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each Party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided that (i) after the KSL Shareholder Approval has been obtained there shall be no amendment or waiver that would require the further approval of the shareholders of KSL under the Bermuda Companies Act unless such amendment made is subject to such shareholder approval and (ii) after the GOGL Shareholder Approval has been obtained there shall be no amendment or waiver that would require the further approval of the shareholders of GOGL under the Bermuda Companies Act unless such amendment is made subject to such shareholder approval.

(b) No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

SECTION 11.4. Expenses.

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring such cost or expense.

If (A) this Agreement is terminated by GOGL pursuant to Section 10.1(h) or by KSL pursuant to Section 10.1(i), and (B) prior to the nine-month anniversary of the date of such termination, KSL enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any KSL Acquisition Proposal which gave rise to such termination, or any such KSL Acquisition Proposal shall have been consummated, then KSL shall pay the Termination Fee to GOGL in immediately available funds concurrently with the Closing of such KSL Acquisition Proposal. "Termination Fee" means $10,000,000.

(c) GOGL Termination Fee. If (A) this Agreement is terminated by KSL pursuant to Section 10.1(g) or by GOGL pursuant to Section 10.1(j), and (B) prior to the nine-month anniversary of the date of such termination, GOGL enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any GOGL Acquisition Proposal which gave rise to such termination, or any such GOGL Acquisition Proposal shall have been consummated, then GOGL shall pay the Termination Fee to KSL in immediately available funds concurrently with the closing of such GOGL Acquisition Proposal.

(d) Other Costs and Expenses. The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 11.4 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if a Party fails promptly to pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 11.4, it shall also pay any costs and expenses incurred by the other Party in connection with a legal action to enforce the obligation to pay the Termination Fee that results in a judgment against other Party for such amount, together with interest on the amount of any unpaid fee, cost or expense at the publicly announced prime rate of Citibank, N.A. from the date such fee, cost or expense was required to be paid to (but excluding) the payment date.

(e) Each of the Parties agree that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable by other Party pursuant to this Section and such Termination Fee is paid in full, such Party shall be precluded from any other remedy against the other Party, at law or in equity or otherwise, and such Party shall not seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the other Party or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, shareholders or Affiliates or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 11.5. Disclosure Letters. The parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of the GOGL Disclosure Letter or KSL Disclosure Letter, as applicable, shall be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) the applicable representations and warranties (or applicable covenants) that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and any other representations and warranties that are contained in this Agreement to which the relevance of such item thereto is reasonably apparent. The mere inclusion of an item in the GOGL Disclosure Letter or KSL Disclosure Letter, as applicable, as an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a GOGL Material Adverse Effect or KSL Material Adverse Effect, as applicable.

SECTION 11.6. Waiver. Subject to Section 11.3 hereof, at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the KSL Shareholders' Meeting, KSL may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the covenants, obligations or other acts of GOGL, or (b) waive any inaccuracy of any representations or warranties or compliance with any of the agreements, covenants or conditions of the GOGL or with any conditions to its own obligations. Any agreement on the part of KSL to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if such waiver is set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of KSL by its duly authorized officer. Subject to Section 11.3 hereof, at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before

or after the GOGL Shareholders' Meeting, GOGL may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the covenants, obligations or other acts of KSL, or (b) waive any inaccuracy of any representations or warranties or compliance with any of the agreements, covenants or conditions of KSL, or with any conditions to its own obligations. Any agreement on the part of GOGL to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if such waiver is set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of GOGL by its duly authorized officer. The failure of any Party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise will not constitute a waiver of such rights. The waiver of any such right with respect to particular facts and other circumstances will not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances, and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

SECTION 11.7. Governing Law. This Agreement will be deemed to be made in and in all respects will be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Law provision or rule that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York, except to the extent that the law of Bermuda is mandatorily applicable to the Merger.

SECTION 11.8. Jurisdiction. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY OR IN THE FEDERAL SOUTHERN DISTRICT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT THEREFROM LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS.

SECTION 11.10. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

SECTION 11.11. Entire Agreement.

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

SECTION 11.13. Specific Performance. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred in connection therewith, and that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any federal court located in the State of New York or any New York state court, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The Parties hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

SECTION 11.14. Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.15. Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
