The Advertising Space shall be used by the Advertisers solely for advertising, marketing and promotion relating to or connected with the Timeshare Projects and Bluegreen’s Timeshare Facilities; provided,  however, that the Advertising Space shall be used to give priority to promotion of the Timeshare Projects, and the Timeshare Projects’ inclusion in the Bluegreen Vacation Club over promotion of Bluegreen’s Timeshare Facilities. The size and placement of the Advertising Space shall be as determined by BPS Catalog, but will be sufficient to establish prominent marketing support for the Timeshare Projects and Bluegreen’s Timeshare Facilities, and at least one full page per Bass Pro Catalog shall be available to

                    (b)          Terms of Advertising. BPS Catalog agrees to notify Bluegreen at least ninety (90) days before the date necessary for submission of an advertisement for publication (“Submission Date”) in each of the Bass Pro Catalogs. Bluegreen agrees to submit a copy of its advertising copy, together with all layouts, cuts, mats and electrotypes, intended for publication, at least thirty (30) days in advance of the Submission Date. If BPS Catalog notifies Bluegreen ninety (90) days before the Submission Date and Bluegreen fails to submit a copy of its advertising for publication to BPS Catalog at least thirty (30) days in advance of the Submission Date, then BPS Catalog will not be obligated to insert the advertisement in the applicable Bass Pro Catalog, unless otherwise agreed by the BPS Catalog and Bluegreen. Bluegreen acknowledges that BPS Catalog requires significant lead times to plan and paginate Bass Pro Catalogs. Therefore, once Bluegreen submits a copy of its advertising for publication, Bluegreen shall be responsible for all costs associated with publication of such advertisement as described in Section 2.3(c), without refund. Within five (5) days after the publication of each Bass Pro Catalog in which Bluegreen or the Company has placed an advertisement, BPS Catalog shall furnish Bluegreen with three (3) copies of such Bass Pro Catalog. All positions are at the option of BPS Catalog. Under no circumstances can any claim for adjustment, refund or re-insertion be allowed because of the position in which an advertisement has been published or inserted. It is the sole responsibility of the Advertisers to check the correctness of each insertion of an advertisement. Advertisements submitted after the deadline for proof service are submitted at the Advertiser’s own risk, and Service Providers shall have no liability for errors or omissions in such Advertisements. Service Providers assume no responsibility for the repetition of errors in advertising ordered for more than one insertion, unless notified before the printing closing time on the same day an error occurs.

                    (c)          Consideration; Expenses. The Advertising Space shall be made available to the Advertisers at no further cost or expense to the Advertisers, and BPS Catalog agrees that the Advertising Space has been paid for in full so long as the Advertisers comply with their obligations set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the timely payment by Bluegreen of Generation Commissions; provided,however, that the Advertisers agree to pay BPS Catalog publication costs in relation to the Advertisers’ use of the Advertising Space, which shall include direct cost of postage, printing, paper, creative color separation, bind-ins, and

                    (d)          Restrictions. During the term of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein, the Service Providers shall not allow, accept, publish, print, include or authorize any advertising, marketing or promotional material in any of the Bass Pro Catalogs, or other respective catalogs or publications published by the Service Providers, which reference, promote or relate to any Competing Resort; provided,  however, that the Service Providers may accept advertisements or promotions in their respective catalogs, which advertisements or promotions may include therein the name of an enterprise and its respective property, so long as such advertisements or promotions do not promote, advertise or market Resort Interest Programs relating to such enterprise or prospects respecting the foregoing, nor does such advertisement or promotion constitute a Resort Interest Program advertisement, nor do the properties included in such advertisements constitute a Resort Interest Program. Nothing herein contained shall limit the right of the Service Providers to sell their retail products in stores, via the internet, and through catalogs to other purchasers, even though such purchasers may be in competition with the Company or Bluegreen (such entities including, but not limited to, Opryland, Disney World, John Q. Hammons Industries and other similar enterprises). The Service Providers may advertise such companies and other resorts in Bass Pro Shops, on the Bass Pro Website and within the Bass Pro Catalogs, so long as the Service Providers do not promote or

Licensed Spaces may be used for establishment of kiosks, interactive computers, a stepped marketing track or program through which prospective consumers may proceed, or such alternative similar uses as may be determined by the Advertisers. The location of the kiosks, computers, marketing tracks or similar uses, shall not interfere with the customary and normal retail operations of the applicable Bass Pro Shop. Any modifications regarding the location of the floor space and the foregoing particulars (i.e., kiosks, interactive computers, marketing track, etc.) inconsistent with the schematic plan referenced above shall only occur upon approval of the applicable Shop Licensor, whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or denied. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.4, including, without limitation, Section 2.4(f), all potential sales prospects who are originated from contact at any of such Licensed Spaces shall not be limited to marketing or sales for any particular or specific Bluegreen Timeshare Facility or the Timeshare Projects.

                    (c)         Bluegreen’s Realization of Benefits. The Service Providers acknowledge that the realization of the benefits under this Marketing Agreement by the Advertisers is dependent upon the Advertisers’ ability to market the timeshare interests of the Timeshare Projects and Bluegreen’s Timeshare Facilities and maximize the growth of sales of such interests and that any form of direct or indirect competition from the Service Providers, except as provided herein, is inconsistent with its intended purpose. The terms of this Agreement were negotiated giving consideration to the concept that competition by Competing Resorts to the sale, marketing and promotion of timeshare interests through the BP/BC Marketing Channels will deprive the Advertisers of a bargained for consideration.

ARTICLE IV - GENERATION COMMISSION

          Section 4.1     Generation Commission.

                    (a)         In consideration for the use of the BP/BC Marketing Channels, Bluegreen shall pay to Big Cedar, for Big Cedar and on behalf of the other Service Providers, a commission (the “Generation Commission”) for each timeshare interest in a Bluegreen Timeshare Facility that is sold by Bluegreen or a Bluegreen Affiliate to a buyer that is generated through the BP/BC Marketing Channels, whether sold prior to or after the termination of this Agreement. A buyer shall be deemed to be generated through a BP/BC Marketing Channel (and a sale to such buyer


 

shall give rise to a Generation Commission) if such buyer is uniquely identified through a BP/BC Marketing Channel, accepts a promotional marketing offer from Bluegreen or a Bluegreen Affiliate, and acquires a timeshare interest in one of Bluegreen’s Timeshare Facilities at any time thereafter.

                                (i)     The Generation Commission shall be in an amount equal to seven percent (7%) of the Net Sales Volume if the buyer (1) is generated through a BP/BC Marketing Channel, (2) accepts a promotional marketing offer from Bluegreen or a Bluegreen Affiliate within one hundred eighty (180) days of delivery of such promotional marketing offer, (3) acquires a timeshare interest in one of Bluegreen’s Timeshare Facilities at any time thereafter without additional marketing expense to Bluegreen or a Bluegreen Affiliate, other than the expense of fulfillment of the promotional marketing offer so made, and (4) generally follows the track as set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

                                (ii)     The Generation Commission shall be in an amount equal to three and one half percent (3.5%) of the Net Sales Volume if the buyer (1) is generated through a BP/BC Marketing Channel, (2) accepts a promotional marketing offer from Bluegreen or a Bluegreen Affiliate after one hundred eighty (180) days of delivery of such promotional marketing material, and (3) acquires a timeshare interest in one of Bluegreen’s Timeshare Facilities at any time thereafter despite additional marketing expense to Bluegreen or a Bluegreen Affiliate.

31




                                (iii)      For purposes of the foregoing, a prospect may be deemed unique through production from one source under this Agreement as well as unique through production from another source under this Agreement. In no event, however, shall an individual timeshare sale yield more than one (1) Generation Commission (either 7% or 3.5%).

                                (iv)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will a Generation Commission be payable for sales of timeshare interests in the Timeshare Projects, or sales of timeshare interests in the Bluegreen Vacation Club that are predicated upon conveyance of a timeshare interest at any of the Timeshare Projects.

                    (b)        Tracking and Accounting for the Generation Commission. Bluegreen shall establish and maintain a system of audit and reporting of sales and Generation Commissions, and shall provide to Big Cedar, on a monthly basis, an accounting (each, a “Commission Report”) for the Generation Commissions that were earned in the preceding month, along with a statement of the current amount of the unearned Annual Prepayment (as defined below) for the current year. In addition, Bluegreen shall establish a tracking system regarding production and generation of sales prospects for purposes of determining whether or not a sale is generated as a result of the BP/BC Marketing Channels as provided for in this Agreement, and it is agreed that the tracking system set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto is an acceptable tracking system.1

                      (c)       Bluegreen will provide the Service Providers complete access to and right to audit the books and records of Bluegreen with respect to the Generation Commissions and Commission Reports, no more than twice per year, at the sole expense of the Service Provider accessing such books and records and/or conducting such audit. If such audit by a Service Provider demonstrates an underpayment of Generation Commissions greater than 3% in any period, the Advertisers shall reimburse the applicable Service Provider for the cost of the audit (along with the amount of the underpayment, which shall be payable to Big Cedar regardless of the amount of the underpayment).

          Section 4.2      Annual Prepayments.

                    (a)        On or before January 1 of each calendar year in which this Agreement is in effect, Bluegreen shall pay to Big Cedar, in cash, an advance on the Generation Commissions that are estimated to be payable for the


 

upcoming year (each, an “Annual Prepayment”). The Annual Prepayment shall be advance payment for Generation Commissions to be earned in the upcoming year, and no interest shall accrue on the Annual Prepayment.

                      (b)       The Annual Prepayment for calendar year 2008 shall be equal to $4,000,000.00. The parties acknowledge and agree that Bluegreen has paid the Annual Prepayment for 2008 as of the date hereof.

                      (c)       The Annual Prepayment for each calendar year after 2008 shall be paid on or before the first business day of such calendar year and shall equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the estimated amount of Generation Commissions that will be generated during the upcoming

Big Cedar requests a simplified tracking system and new “Exhibit C

32




calendar year, as such estimated amount is determined by Big Cedar and Bluegreen; and (ii) $5,000,000. As they are earned, the Generation Commissions shall be credited toward the current year’s Annual Prepayment.

                    (d)       If, during the term of this Agreement, the Service Providers or their Affiliates elect to make Approved Alternative Marketing Programs available to the Company and/or Bluegreen, and the Company and/or Bluegreen elects to participate in such Approved Alternative Marketing Programs, the amounts of the agreed costs, fees or commissions payable by the Company and/or Bluegreen for use of such Approved Alternative Marketing Programs may also be credited toward the outstanding portion of the current year’s Annual Prepayment, if any.

                    (e)       After the aggregate amount of the Generation Commissions earned (and other amounts payable by the Company and/or Bluegreen pursuant to Section 4.2(d)) in a year reaches the amount of the Annual Prepayment applicable to such year, Bluegreen shall pay to Bass Pro in cash, on a monthly basis, within 15 days after the end of each month, the Generation Commissions earned during the preceding month.

                    (f)       Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, any Generation Commissions (and other amounts payable by the Company and/or Bluegreen pursuant to Section 4.2(d)) arising after the termination of this Agreement (“Post-Termination Generation Commissions”) shall be credited against any Shortfall pursuant to Section 4.2(g), or if no such Shortfall exists, shall be paid to Bass Pro in cash, on a monthly basis, within 15 days after the end of each month.

                    (g)       If the aggregate amount of the Generation Commissions earned (and other amounts payable by the Company and/or Bluegreen pursuant to Section 4.2(d)) in any year does not reach the amount of such year’s Annual Prepayment, then the difference (the “Shortfall”) between such year’s Annual Prepayment and the amount of the Generation Commissions (and other amounts payable by the Company and/or Bluegreen pursuant to Section 4.2(d)) that were earned during that year shall be applied to the next year’s Annual Prepayment, such that the amount payable by Bluegreen for the year following a year in which there is a Shortfall will be reduced by the amount of such Shortfall. If this Agreement is terminated during or at the end of a year in which there is a Shortfall, Bass Pro shall pay to Bluegreen fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the Shortfall within 60 days after the Agreement is terminated and the balance of Shortfall within 120 days after the Agreement is terminated; provided,  however that the amount of any Post-Termination Generation Commissions shall be credited against the Shortfall.

ARTICLE V - PERMITTED USE; CONTENT; APPROVAL RIGHTS

          Section 5.1      Permitted Use.


 

                    (a)          The BP/BC Marketing Channels shall be used by the Company and Bluegreen to promote, market and advertise the Timeshare Projects, Bluegreen’s Timeshare Facilities and their inclusion in the Bluegreen Vacation Club, and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

33




                    (b)          The Service Providers reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to limit the amount of use of the BP/BC Marketing Channels, to edit, revise or reject any marketing and promotional materials, and to cancel any use by the Advertisers of the BP/BC Marketing Channels, provided, that prior to exercising the foregoing rights, the Service Providers shall provide written notice of such intent and the reasons therefor, which notice shall provide the Advertisers with a reasonable period of at least 30 days to respond and cure. Any timely cure proposed by the Advertisers shall be subject to the approval of the applicable Service Provider, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Service Providers reserve the right to suspend the Advertisers’ use of the BP/BC Marketing Channel for purposes of the activity that was the reason for the notice of intent to terminate during such cure period.

                    (c)          The Service Providers reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to discontinue any BP/BC Marketing Channel at any time and for any reason, which may include, without limitation, closing any Bass Pro Shop and discontinuing publication of any or all of the Bass Pro Catalogs. In the event that a Service Provider intends to discontinue a BP/BC Marketing Channel, such Service Provider shall make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice to the Advertisers.

          Section 5.2     Content and Approval Rights.

                    (a)          Bass Pro, on behalf of the Service Providers, shall have the right to review and approve all advertising materials to be used in the Bass Pro Shops or Bass Pro Catalogs or that involve contact with customers of Bass Pro Shops or identified through the Bass Pro Mailing List prior to such use. Big Cedar shall have the right to review and approve all advertising materials to be used in the Big Cedar Lodge, that involve contact with the guests of Big Cedar Lodge or that involve contact with customers identified through the Big Cedar Mailing List prior to such use. Any advertising material so approved shall be maintained by Bluegreen in a file designated as approved advertisements. Such advertising material proposed to be delivered shall be submitted to Bass Pro or Big Cedar, at 2500 East Kearney Street, Springfield, Missouri 65898 prior to use.

                    (b)          In the event of submission of any such sample of advertising, marketing and promotional materials by the Advertisers hereunder, the same shall be deemed approved within fourteen (14) days after receipt thereof, at the address set forth above, unless Bass Pro or Big Cedar denies approval or approves the same within an earlier time period. Upon denial of any such approval, Bass Pro or Big Cedar shall deliver to the Advertisers (whomsoever shall be the party that has delivered the advertisement to Bass Pro or Big Cedar) specific reasons for such denial upon which cure thereof the Advertisers may proceed to use such advertising, marketing and promotional material. Any proposed cure in respect to a denial shall be submitted by the respective party to Bass Pro or Big Cedar for further approval, whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or denied, and whose approval shall be deemed given if denial thereof is not delivered within five (5) days of delivery of the proposed cure.

                    (c)          Once approved, any advertising, marketing or promotional program approved for use at the Big Cedar Lodge may be reused or incorporated into any advertising, marketing or promotional program for any or all of the Bluegreen Timeshare Facilities, as determined from time to time by Bluegreen without necessity of further approval; provided,

34



 



however, that Big Cedar or Bass Pro may later withdraw such approval for any or no reason, in their sole discretion.

                    (d)          Despite anything contained herein to the contrary, no advertising, marketing or promotional materials may (i) incorporate use of the Bass Pro Mark unless such use has been first approved by BP Trademarks in its sole and absolute discretion; or (ii) incorporate use of the Big Cedar Mark unless such use has been first approved by Big Cedar, in its sole and absolute discretion.

ARTICLE VI - INDEMNIFICATION / LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

          Section 6.1     Indemnification—Bluegreen. Bluegreen agrees to indemnify and hold the Service Providers harmless from and against any and all liability, loss or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees and similar expenses) arising from any claims, including but not limited to, libel, unfair competition, unfair trade practices, illegal or improper employment practices, plagiarism, infringement of trademark, trade names or patents, or copyrights, violation of rights of privacy, or violation of securities or blue sky laws, resulting from Bluegreen’s use of the BP/BC Marketing Channels and for breach of its obligations under this Agreement, except as a result of Service Providers’ willful misconduct or gross negligence.

          Section 6.2      Indemnification –The Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Service Providers harmless from and against any and all liability, loss or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees and similar expenses) arising from any claims, including but not limited to, libel, unfair competition, unfair trade practices, illegal or improper employment practices, plagiarism, infringement of trademark, trade names or patents, or copyrights, violation of rights of privacy, or violation of securities or blue sky laws, resulting from the Company’s use of the BP/BC Marketing Channels and for breach of its obligations under this Agreement, except as a result of Service Providers’ willful misconduct or gross negligence.

In addition to the foregoing, under no circumstances shall any party to this Agreement be liable to another for any special, incidental, indirect, consequential, lost future revenue, income or profits, diminution

of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity, punitive or similar damages in connection with this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII - MISCELLANEOUS


 

          Section 7.1      GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS INTERNAL CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

          Section 7.2       Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably (A) agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement shall be instituted only in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Missouri, (B) waive, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to venue of any such proceeding and (C) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.

          Section 7.3      Remedies.

                    (a)       If a party hereto obtains a judgment against any other party by reason of breach of this Agreement, a reasonable attorneys’ fee as fixed by the court shall be included in such judgment. Any party hereto shall be entitled to maintain, on its own behalf, any action or proceeding against any other party hereto (including, any action for damages, specific performance, or declaratory relief) for or by reason of breach by such party of this Agreement; provided,  however, the liability of any party for or by reason of breach by such party of this Agreement shall be limited as set forth herein.

                    (b)       The remedies conferred upon the parties in this Agreement are intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted. No failure or delay on the part of a party to exercise any right it may have in the event of an act or omission giving rise to a claim hereunder shall prevent the exercise of such right by such party at any time the defaulting party continues to be so in default, and no such failure or delay shall operate as a waiver of any default. Each separate party to this Agreement shall be entitled to such rights and remedies, independent one from any other party hereto. Specifically, by way of example and not limitation, Bluegreen and the Company, upon default by any Service Provider shall, independently and severally, and subject to the limitations of liability set forth in this Agreement, be entitled to any and all damages permitted hereunder as against such Service Provider provable as a consequence thereof.

                    (c)       No waiver by a party of any breach of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach of any kind or nature and no acceptance of payment or performance by a party after any such breach shall be deemed to be a waiver of any breach of this Agreement whether or not such party knows of such breach at the time it accepts such payment or performance.

                    (d)       In the event of any dispute or disagreement between the parties, the party asserting the dispute shall give written notification of such dispute or disagreement to, if such party is a Service Provider or Tracker Marine, John M. Maloney, Jr., or the person then

36




performing the duties at Bluegreen currently performed by John M. Maloney, Jr., (“Bluegreen CEO”) and if such party is Bluegreen, acting as Bluegreen, Bluegreen Affiliates or the Company, to James A. Hagale or the person then performing the duties at Big Cedar currently performed by James A. Hagale (together with the Bluegreen CEO, the “CEOs”); and (iii) the CEOs shall communicate with each other promptly with a view to resolving such dispute or disagreement within ninety (90) days of commencing any negotiations (or such extended period as the CEOs agree is appropriate in any such case). The foregoing shall be a condition precedent to applicability of the remedies set forth in this Section 7.3. During any period of such communications, all services prior to any claimed default shall continue without any alteration or modification, except as acceptable to the party receiving such services.


 

          Section 7.4      Notice/Default. Notwithstanding any provision herein otherwise, no default of this Agreement shall be determined to exist until and unless any failure to observe or perform any provision of this Agreement continues for ninety (90) days after written notice thereof by a party hereunder to a party not so performing or observing, or if the violation is corrected with respect to future violations within ninety (90) days after written notice of such breach from the non-breaching party; provided, however, that if the nature of such failure is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within such ninety (90) day period, and such non-performing party, within the ninety (90) day period commences to cure, and thereafter diligently processes such cure to completion, such cure period shall be extended for a period of no more than sixty (60) days, and provided, further, this Section 7.4 shall not apply to Section 2.2.

          Section 7.5      Notices. All notices required or permitted by the terms hereof shall be given by hand delivery or by sent and paid Federal Express or other overnight delivery, at the following addresses or at such other addresses as either party hereto shall, in writing, advise the other:

All notices shall be deemed given at the time of hand delivery or the time such deposited with Federal Express or other reputable overnight delivery for transmittal as aforesaid; provided, however, that the time at which response or action in response to any notice must be given or taken shall run from the time of actual receipt of such notice.

          Section 7.6      Assignment. No party to this Agreement may, without the prior consent of all of the parties not then in default hereunder, which consent may be withheld in such party’s sole discretion, transfer any rights or obligations under this Agreement, provided,  however, any party may transfer its rights or obligations to an Affiliate of such party upon receipt of consent of all of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          Section 7.7      Confidentiality. The parties hereto, on behalf of themselves and their respective agents, employees and attorneys each hereby covenant and agree to keep confidential all information regarding this transaction and the advertising, marketing and promotional services to be provided hereunder (provided, however, that they may divulge such information as required and requested by lenders, investors and potential investors


 

pursuant to an appropriate confidentiality agreement or other investors and potential investors related to receivable purchase transactions or governmental authorities, including within such releases or announcements as may be required by law, or by the rules or regulations of any securities exchange) and they shall keep confidential all information regarding projections concerning marketing and sale of the Timeshare Projects or any Bluegreen Timeshare Facility, development of the Timeshare Projects and methods of marketing and sale. All notices to third parties and all publicity or press releases with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby shall be mutually approved by the Company, Bluegreen, Big Cedar and Bass Pro prior to release or dissemination. Bluegreen shall present draft copies of all Bluegreen filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission that relate to this Agreement to Bass Pro at least three business days prior to such filing for review.

          Section 7.8      Good Faith Cooperation, Negotiation, Operation and Performance. The parties hereby agree to cooperate, negotiate, operate, and perform in good faith to accomplish the intentions and fully effectuate the purposes of this Agreement, including but not limited to, in the creation, execution, and delivery of any document or service contemplated hereunder. Upon reasonable request, from time to time, the parties shall execute and deliver all documents and instruments and do all of the acts as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to give effect to the performance of this Agreement and all the services hereunder to be provided or to exercise by the other parties their respective rights hereunder. The Service Providers shall, for each license, right or easement specified in this Agreement deliver to the Advertisers appropriate documentation on a form acceptable to the Advertisers to identify such right in specific documentation.

          Section 7.9     Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, so

39




as to effect the intent of the parties, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. If necessary to effect the intent of the parties, the parties will negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to replace the unenforceable language with the enforceable language which as closely as possible reflects such intent. The provisions of this Agreement to the benefit of Bluegreen are severable and distinct from the provision of this Agreement to the benefit of the Company, and shall be enforceable one independent from the other.

          Section 7.10     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts shall have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party.

          Section 7.11     Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto as to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior discussions, understandings, and agreements between them as to the subject matter contained herein, including, without limitation, the Original M&P Agreement and the agreements contemplated thereby. This Agreement may not be modified or amended unless such amendment is set forth in writing and signed by each party.

          Section 7.12     Construction. This Agreement has been negotiated by the parties and their respective counsel, and shall be fairly interpreted in accordance within the terms, and without any strict construction in favor of or against any party. In construing this Agreement, the singular sense shall be deemed to include the plural, and the male and neuter gender shall mean and comprehend all genders, whenever such meaning or interpretation is necessary and appropriate. Headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only, and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.


 

          Section 7.13     No Condition Precedent. The obligations of the parties hereto shall be determined by the terms of this Agreement and shall not be subject to any other, additional or extraneous condition precedent occurring. By way of example and not limitation, the terms of this Agreement shall be binding amongst and between the parties hereto, despite any absence of agreement concerning construction, improvement or development of the Red Rock Bluff Timeshare Project.

          Section 7.14     Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.

          Section 7.15     Consideration. Service Providers acknowledge that certain promises of Advertisers herein run to the benefit of Service Providers and certain promises of Advertisers herein run to the benefit of Service Providers. In exchange for the foregoing, as well as in exchange for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by Service Providers and Advertisers and each agrees that they are bound to this Agreement and to the performance of the obligations hereunder to the benefit of the other.
