ARTICLE II

PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE INTERESTS

2.1 Purchase and Sale of the Interests. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser shall purchase from Pinehurst Company, and Pinehurst Company shall sell or shall cause its Affiliates to Purchaser, all of the Interests, free and clear of all Liens, for the consideration specified in this Article II.

2.2 Purchase Price.

(a) The aggregate purchase price to be paid for the Interests will be $325,000,000 (the “Base Purchase Price”):

(i) plus (A) the Cash Amount and (B) the Commitment Fee (provided that the Commitment Fee shall only be added to the Purchase Price if the New Loan Agreement is closed prior to or simultaneously with the Closing);

(ii) minus (A) the Balance Sheet Liabilities, and (B) the aggregate amount of any cash actually received (including insurance proceeds) by any of the Pinehurst Entities, ClubCorp or Pinehurst Company, or to be received by ClubCorp or any of its Affiliates other than the Pinehurst Entities, on account of any Assets sold, disposed of or rendered unusable (with the exception of Assets sold, disposed of or rendered unusable in the Ordinary Course of Business), at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing; and

(iii) plus or minus the Capital Expenditure Adjustment (the Base Purchase Price, as adjusted, the “Purchase Price”).

(b) Set forth on Exhibit D hereto is a form of the Estimated Purchase Price Certificate, set forth in the form in which such certificate will be delivered prior to the Closing, that has been prepared by ClubCorp based on the financial statements of the Pinehurst Entities as of the end of the month immediately preceding the month in which this Agreement is signed, and, as if, the Closing had occurred on such date (the “Hypothetical Estimated Purchase Price Certificate”). At the Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Pinehurst Company, in the manner described in Section 2.5(a), an amount equal to the Purchase Price, as estimated by ClubCorp (including an estimate of the components of the Purchase Price) on the Estimated Purchase Price Certificate, and as accepted by Purchaser in its sole discretion (which acceptance shall be deemed an acceptance to use such determination for purposes of Closing but shall not be construed as an agreement with ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company as to the actual Purchase Price or any components thereof) not less than two (2) days prior to the Closing (the “Estimated Purchase Price”), minus the Escrow Amount.

(c) Within ten (10) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative a balance sheet of the Pinehurst Entities (in its final and binding form, the “Closing Balance Sheet”), setting forth the components of the Purchase Price and a certificate setting forth the resulting Purchase Price calculated with reference thereto (in its final and binding form, together with the Closing Balance Sheet, the “Purchase Price Calculation”). The Closing Balance Sheet shall include all known adjustments required in a year-end closing of the books and shall be prepared based upon a balance sheet of the Pinehurst Entities prepared in accordance with GAAP. ClubCorp, Pinehurst Company and the Stockholders’ Representative shall cooperate as reasonably requested in connection with Purchaser’s preparation of the Purchase Price Calculation. During the ten (10)-day period immediately following the Stockholders’ Representative’s receipt of the Purchase Price Calculation, the Stockholders’ Representative and its agents shall be permitted to review the Pinehurst Entities’ books and records and the Pinehurst Entities’ working papers related to the preparation of the Purchase Price Calculation and determination of the Purchase Price. The

Purchase Price Calculation shall become final and binding upon the Parties ten (10) days following the Stockholders’ Representative’s receipt thereof unless the Stockholders’ Representative gives written notice of its disagreement (a “Statement of Objections”) to Purchaser prior to such date. Any Statement of Objections shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of any disagreement so asserted and shall be delivered only if (and to the extent that) the Stockholders’ Representative reasonably and in good faith determines that the Purchase Price Calculation and the resulting Purchase Price calculated with reference thereto delivered by Purchaser has not been determined in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement. If a timely Statement of Objections is received by Purchaser, then the Purchase Price Calculation (as revised in accordance with clause (x) or (y) below) shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the earliest of (x) the date the Parties resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Statement of Objections, or (y) the date all matters in dispute are finally resolved in writing by the Arbitrator. During the 10 days following delivery of a Statement of Objections, the Parties shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they have with respect to the matters specified in the Statement of Objections. If all differences are not resolved, at the end of the 10-day period referred to above, the Parties shall submit to a mutually satisfactory independent reputable consulting firm or a mutually satisfactory independent reputable accounting firm for review and resolution of all matters (but only such matters) that remain in dispute and that were properly included in the Statement of Objections. If the Parties are unable to mutually agree upon a consulting firm or an accounting firm, Purchaser and the Stockholders’ Representative shall select by lot a reputable accounting or consulting firm. The Parties shall instruct the consulting firm or accounting firm ultimately agreed upon or selected by lot under this Section 2.2(c) (the “Arbitrator”) to make a final determination of the components of the Purchase Price and the resulting Purchase Price calculated with reference thereto to the extent such amounts are in dispute, in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement. The Stockholders’ Representative, Purchaser, ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company will cooperate with the Arbitrator during the term of its engagement. The Stockholders’ Representative and the Parties shall instruct the Arbitrator not to assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Stockholders’ Representative, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Stockholders’ Representative, on the other hand. The Stockholders’ Representative and the Parties shall also instruct the Arbitrator to make its determination based solely on presentations by Purchaser and the Stockholders’ Representative that are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). The Purchase Price Calculation and the determination of the components of the Purchase Price and the resulting Purchase Price calculated with reference thereto shall become final and binding on the Parties on the date the Arbitrator delivers its final resolution in writing to the Parties (which final resolution shall be requested by the Parties to be delivered not more than fifteen (15) days following submission of such disputed matters). The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator shall be borne by the Parties based upon the relative merits of their claims as determined by the Arbitrator.

(d) Promptly after the Purchase Price Calculation and the determination of the Purchase Price becomes final and binding on the Parties under Section 2.2(c) above, the Estimated Purchase Price shall be recalculated by giving effect to the final and binding

components of the Purchase Price (as recalculated, the “Final Purchase Price”). If the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price, then the Stockholders’ Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent to pay from the Escrow Account, in immediately available funds, the amount of such difference to Purchaser. After the distribution (if any) of such amount, the Stockholders’ Representative shall direct the Escrow Agent to pay the balance of the Escrow Account (if any) to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of ClubCorp stock immediately prior to the Closing, which shall be distributed to such stockholders as soon as reasonably practicable in the same manner as funds were distributed to such stockholders pursuant to the terms of the ClubCorp Merger Agreement. The Stockholders’ Representative may, but is not obligated to, report and withhold any Taxes as it determines may be required by any Law or regulation in effect at the time of any distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, neither ClubCorp, Pinehurst Company nor any of their Affiliates or current or former stockholders shall be required to pay any amount to Purchaser in connection with this Section 2.2(d).

2.3 Escrow Account. On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent by wire transfer to the Escrow Account of immediately available funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which funds will cover any amounts that may be owed by ClubCorp or Pinehurst Company under Section 2.2(d). Any payment to be made by or on behalf of Pinehurst Company pursuant to Section 2.2(d) shall be paid by release of funds to the Purchaser within five (5) Business Days after the date notice of any sums due and owing is given to the Escrow Agent by Purchaser and shall accordingly reduce the Escrow Amount.

2.4 Tax Treatment of Payments. Any payments made with respect to adjustments made pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be deemed to be, and each of the Parties agrees to treat such payments as, an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes.

2.5 Deliveries. At the Closing:

(a) (i) Purchaser shall pay to Pinehurst Company an amount equal to the Purchase Price (minus the Escrow Amount and the Indebtedness Overage), and (ii) Pinehurst, Inc. shall pay to Pinehurst Company, on behalf of Purchaser, an amount equal to the Indebtedness Overage, each in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by ClubCorp or Pinehurst Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date;

(b) Purchaser shall pay to the Escrow Agent an amount equal to the Escrow Amount, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Escrow Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date;

(c) Pinehurst Company shall deliver to Purchaser the certificates representing the Interests, if any, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed interest assignments;

(d) ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company will deliver to Purchaser the various certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section 8.2 below;

(e) Purchaser will deliver to ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company the various certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section 8.3 below; and

(f) ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company shall deliver to Purchaser all corporate books and records and other property of the Pinehurst Entities in their possession.

2.6 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Thompson & Knight LLP, 1700 Pacific Avenue, Suite 3300, Dallas, Texas 75201 at 10:00 a.m. local time on such date as is mutually agreed to by the Parties (the “Closing Date”).

operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and as currently proposed by it to be conducted, except where the failure to have such governmental approvals would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. Purchaser is duly qualified or licensed to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification, licensing or good standing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. Purchaser does not have any Subsidiaries.

5.2 Authority. Purchaser has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action. No other proceedings on the part of Purchaser are required to approve this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by Purchaser and (assuming the valid authorization execution and delivery of this Agreement by ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company) constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject only to the effect, if any, of (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and (ii) rules of Law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

(a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser do not, and the performance of this Agreement by Purchaser will not, (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Agreement of Limited Partnership of Purchaser, (ii) assuming that all consents, approvals, authorizations and permits described in Section 4.3(b) have been obtained and all filings and notifications described in Section 4.3(b) have been made and any waiting periods thereunder have terminated or expired, conflict with or violate any Law applicable to Purchaser or by which any property or asset of Purchaser is bound or affected, or (iii) result in any breach of, constitute a default under, cause any loss of any material benefit under, or give to others any right of termination or cancellation pursuant to, any material Contract, bond, mortgage or permit, except, with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii), for any such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults, losses or rights that would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

(b) No filing or registration with, or authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Entity (other than filings, registrations, authorizations, consents and approvals, the failure of which to make or obtain would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect) is required by or with respect to Purchaser in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser or is necessary for the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby except under the Exchange Act, the Securities Act, any applicable Blue Sky Laws or as otherwise set forth in Section 5.3(b) of the Disclosure Schedule.

5.6 Investment. Purchaser is acquiring the Interests for its own account for investment purposes and without any view to the sale or distribution thereof in contravention of securities Laws.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither ClubCorp nor Pinehurst Company shall be required to provide access to or to disclose any information (A) where such access or disclosure could jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or work product privilege of ClubCorp, Pinehurst Company, the Pinehurst Entities or any of their respective Subsidiaries or contravene any Law or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, or (B) to the extent that outside counsel to ClubCorp, Pinehurst Company or the Pinehurst Entities advises that such access or disclosure should not be disclosed in order to ensure compliance with any applicable Law.

6.4 Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings.

(a) Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, each of the Parties shall apply for or otherwise seek, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, all consents and approvals required to be obtained by it for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

The Parties shall consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any Party in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Law; provided, however, that,

with respect to any such analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions or proposals, each of the Parties need not supply the other (or its counsel) with copies (or in case of oral presentations, a summary) to the extent that any Law applicable to such Person requires such Person or their respective Subsidiaries to restrict or prohibit access to any such properties or information.

(b) Each Party will notify the other promptly upon the receipt of (i) any comments from any officials of any Governmental Entity in connection with any filings made pursuant hereto and (ii) any request by any officials of any Governmental Entity for amendments or supplements to any filings made pursuant to, or information provided to comply in all material respects with, any Laws. Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any filing made pursuant to Section 6.4(a), each Party will promptly inform the other of such occurrence and cooperate in filing with the applicable Governmental Entity such amendment or supplement.

(c) Each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act, the Sherman Act, as amended, the Clayton Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other federal, state or foreign statutes, rules, regulations, Orders or decrees that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization, lessening of competition or restraint of trade (collectively, “Antitrust Laws”). Each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration or termination of the waiting or notice periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to such transactions as promptly as possible after the execution of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 6.4 shall limit a Party’s right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b) so long as such Party has until such date complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 6.4.

6.5 Certain Notices. Each of the Parties, as the case may be, will notify the other Parties in writing promptly after learning of (i) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the

transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or (iii) any change, occurrence or event that would have a Material Adverse Effect, or that is reasonably likely to cause any of the conditions to closing set forth in Article VIII not to be satisfied. Each of the Parties shall give prompt notice to the other Parties of any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or any failure by it to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.

6.6 Reasonable Efforts; Cooperation. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.4(d), each of the Parties agrees to use reasonable best efforts, and to cooperate with each other Party, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, appropriate or desirable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including (i) taking all reasonable actions necessary to satisfy the respective conditions set forth in Article VIII, and (ii) executing and delivering such other instruments and doing and performing such other acts and things as may be necessary or reasonably desirable to effect completely the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.7 Termination of Affiliate Agreements; Settlement of Inter-Company Accounts.

(a) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company will terminate, and will cause the Pinehurst Entities to terminate, all inter-company agreements between the Pinehurst Entities, on the one hand, and ClubCorp, Pinehurst Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (other than the Pinehurst Entities) on the other hand, with no further existing obligation or liability of the Pinehurst Entities.

(b) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company will fully and finally settle, and will cause the Pinehurst Entities to fully and finally settle, any and all inter-company receivables or payables existing between the Pinehurst Entities, on the one hand, and ClubCorp, Pinehurst Company or any Affiliate thereof (other than the Pinehurst Entities) on the other hand, with no further existing obligation or liability of the Pinehurst Entities.

6.8 Termination of Guaranties. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company shall cause any guaranty by the Pinehurst Entities of the obligations of ClubCorp, Pinehurst Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates (other than the Pinehurst Entities) to be terminated and released without incurring any further obligation or liability to the Pinehurst Entities, contingent or otherwise (such termination and releases, the “Guaranty Releases”).

6.9 Permits and Licenses. ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company shall cause the Pinehurst Entities to, in the Ordinary Course of Business, and without the addition or imposition

of any additional, material condition, renew all Permits that are scheduled to expire prior to Closing. If any of the Permits are not scheduled to expire prior to Closing but an application for renewal of such Permit is required before Closing to prevent expiration of such Permit, then ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company shall cause the Pinehurst Entity that is the authorized legal holder of such Permit to file for renewal for such Permit without the addition or imposition of any additional material condition.

6.10 Conversion of Pinehurst Entities. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Pinehurst Company shall cause each of the Pinehurst Entities to be reorganized into wholly-owned Delaware limited liability companies that will be treated as disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes under Treas. Reg. § 301.7701(b) (collectively, the “Converted Entities”). Following such conversions, and as of the Closing Date, all of the Converted Entities will be disregarded entities for federal tax purposes and none of the Converted Entities will have elected or will elect under Treas. Reg. § 301.7701-3(c) to be treated as associations taxable as corporations for federal income tax purposes. The conversions may occur by way of merger, conversion or such other transaction as may be required by Law to validly effect such reorganization of the Converted Entities, and ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company shall cooperate with Purchaser in the preparation of the constituent documents related to the Converted Entities.

6.11 Re-Financing of Indebtedness. ClubCorp has paid to PacLife the Commitment Fee with respect to negotiating a revolving financing arrangement with PacLife (the “New Loan Agreement”), whereby Pinehurst, Inc. will have the ability to borrow up to an aggregate amount of $210,000,000 in connection with the Closing, which, if the New Loan Agreement is finalized, shall be used, in part, to cause the Pinehurst Loan to be repaid in full. With respect to the negotiation and execution of the New Loan Agreement, ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company agree that Purchaser shall negotiate, on behalf of the Pinehurst Entities, directly with PacLife, and that Purchaser shall (and ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company shall not) have the ability to make all decisions with respect to the terms of the New Loan Agreement, provided that ClubCorp shall be allowed to participate in all such negotiations at its option. With respect to any investigation undertaken by PacLife in connection with the New Loan Agreement, ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the execution of the New Loan Agreement (including curing any defects to title pursuant to Section 6.13). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser agrees that ClubCorp, Pinehurst Company and the Pinehurst Entities shall have no obligation to enter into the New Loan Agreement or repay the Pinehurst Loan in the event this Agreement is terminated.

6.12 Notification of Certain Matters; Amendment of Disclosure Schedules.

(a) The Parties hereto agree that, with respect to the representations and warranties made by them in this Agreement, they shall have the continuing obligation until the Closing to supplement or amend promptly the information disclosed on the Disclosure Schedules with respect to any matter hereafter arising or discovered which would have been required to be set forth or described in the Disclosure Schedules or which changes the nature of any information provided herein. The Party amending the Disclosure Schedules shall give prompt written notice to the other Parties, as applicable, of any of the following occurring after the date hereof but before the Closing Date: (A) the discovery of any facts, or the occurrence or failure to

occur of any event, indicating that any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement is as of the date of this Agreement, or may be or may become, untrue or inaccurate in any respect at any time from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date; and (B) any failure of the Parties to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by them under this Agreement.

(b) For all purposes of this Agreement, including, for purposes of determining whether the conditions set forth in Article VIII have been fulfilled, the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to include only that information contained therein on the date of this Agreement and shall be deemed to exclude all information contained in any supplement or amendment thereto; provided, however, that if the Closing shall occur, then the representations and warranties pursuant to this Agreement shall include all matters disclosed by the Parties pursuant to any such supplement or amendment at or prior to the Closing.

6.13 Property Due Diligence.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, ClubCorp, at its expense, shall procure and deliver to Purchaser current title commitments (the “Title Commitments”) showing the state of title to each parcel of the Real Property which would appear in an ALTA Owner’s Title Policy, together with copies of all documents referenced as exceptions to title in the Title Commitments. The Title Commitments shall be issued by LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc. or another title company reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (the “Title Company”). The parcels of the Real Property described in Section 6.13(a) of the Disclosure Schedule are herein referred to as the “Major Parcels.” With regard to any parcel that is not a Major Parcel, in lieu of a Title Commitment, ClubCorp may elect to deliver other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser establishing only that fee simple title to such parcel is vested in a Pinehurst Entity.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, ClubCorp shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser and to the Title Company current or updated on the ground surveys (the “Surveys”) of each Major Parcel (other than those noted in Section 6.13(b) of the Disclosure Schedule), prepared by a licensed professional engineer or surveyor reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and to the Title Company. The Surveys (including specifically the certificate of the engineer or surveyor forming a part thereof) shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, its lender and to the Title Company. The Surveys shall not be required to meet the requirements of the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys jointly established by the American Land Title Association, the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser acknowledges that the form and substance of the surveys, including the certificate of the engineer or surveyor forming a part thereof, that ClubCorp delivered to PacLife in connection with the PacLife Liens currently encumbering parts of the Real Property (the “PacLife Surveys”) are in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, such that if the Surveys are substantially similar to the PacLife Surveys, the Surveys will be acceptable to Purchaser. Purchaser shall reimburse ClubCorp at the Closing for the cost of the Surveys.

(c) ClubCorp, at its expense, shall obtain and furnish to Purchaser at the Closing, ALTA Owner’s Title Policies (the “Title Policies”) from the Title Company relating to each Major Parcel. The Title Policies shall insure at regular rates, in amounts reasonably determined by the Parties (or as otherwise required by applicable Law), that the Pinehurst Entities, as applicable, own fee simple title to each Major Parcel, subject to no exceptions other than the Permitted Encumbrances. In addition, Purchaser shall have the right to request from the Title Company, by way of appropriate endorsements and supplemental coverages (collectively, the “Purchaser’s Requested Endorsements”), additional insurance which is available under the title insurance regulations of the State of North Carolina and customarily issued in such State for transactions similar to the one contemplated hereby for other estates, rights, privileges, and risks which may be ancillary or appurtenant to or affect or burden such Major Parcels or which may be necessary or convenient for its use, enjoyment, or protection, including affirmative coverage of all material rights-of-way, easements, access rights, and other servient estates and against all restrictions, restrictive covenants, and dominant estates, including affirmative coverage against loss of use or reversion in the event of a violation of restrictions, restrictive covenants, or easements if available, provided, however, the issuance of or the Title Company’s commitment to issue such Purchaser’s Requested Endorsements shall not be a condition precedent to Closing. The cost of the Purchaser’s Requested Endorsements shall be paid by ClubCorp. ClubCorp shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Title Company any affidavits, agreements or other documents or assurances reasonably necessary to cause the issuance of the Title Policies, not including the Purchaser’s Requested Endorsements.

(d) In the event (i) the Surveys show any easement, right-of-way, encroachment, conflict or protrusion affecting the Real Property, other than the Permitted Encumbrances, or (ii) any exceptions appear in the Title Commitments for the Major Parcels, other than the Permitted Encumbrances, that are unacceptable to Purchaser, or in the event title to the Major Parcels is otherwise not as represented herein, Purchaser shall, within ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of the last of (i) all Title Commitments for the Major Parcels and copies of all exceptions to title referenced in such Title Commitments, and (ii) all Surveys, notify ClubCorp in writing of such fact (each, a “Title Objection Notice”). At its expense, ClubCorp shall then promptly undertake to use its reasonable efforts to remove, satisfy, or otherwise cure such unacceptable matters (such matters herein called the “Title Defects”) to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser. ClubCorp may cure any Title Defect by removing such Title Defect from title or by causing the Title Company to commit to remove or insure over such Title Defect in the applicable Title Policy at any time prior to or at Closing. Any matter disclosed in the Surveys or the Title Commitments to which Purchaser does not specify in the Title Objection Notice shall be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance for all purposes under this Agreement.

(e) If ClubCorp is unable, after using its reasonable best efforts, to cure any Title Defect, ClubCorp shall send written notice thereof to Purchaser (“Purchaser’s Response Notice”), and Purchaser’s sole remedy hereunder in such event shall be either (i) to accept title to the Real Property subject to such Title Defect as if Purchaser had not objected thereto (in which case, such Title Defect shall become a Permitted Encumbrance for purposes of this Agreement), or (ii) in the event such Title Defect, or the aggregate of all Title Defects, constitutes a Material Adverse Effect, to notify ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company in writing of its election to terminate

this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(e). If Purchaser fails to give written notice of its election to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of Purchaser’s Response Notice, such Title Defects shall be deemed to be Permitted Encumbrances for all purposes under this Agreement.

As of the date hereof, Purchaser may offer employment, on an “at will” basis or otherwise, to the employees of ClubCorp set forth on Exhibit F to this Agreement, as of the Closing Date (the “Transferred ClubCorp Employees”).

Upon Purchaser’s written request to ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company, ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company shall deliver to Purchaser copies of the unaudited, monthly financial statements of each of the Pinehurst Entities as of and for each completed monthly period ended after July 18, 2006, including, in each case, unaudited balance sheets and statements of income and retained earnings, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Pinehurst Entities (the “Monthly Financial Statements”).

6.17 Occupancy Tax Audit. Between the date hereof and Closing, ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to fully resolve any issues related to the State of North Carolina’s audit of the occupancy Tax returns filed with respect to the Pinehurst Entities, including a final determination of any liabilities arising therefrom.

In addition, the Parties hereby undertake and agree to file timely any information that may be required to be filed pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 1060(b) of the Code, and shall use the allocation determined pursuant to this Section 6.18 in connection with the preparation of IRS Form 8594 as such form relates to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. No later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the filing of their respective Forms 8594 relating to the transaction contemplated by the Agreement, each Party shall deliver to the other party a copy of its Form 8594.

6.20 Equal Treatment of Purchaser. To the extent that (i) the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” (or similar concept or definition) or (ii) any title defect or diligence process with respect to real property (or similar concept) set forth in the ClubCorp Merger Agreement has the effect of granting rights or benefits in favor of the acquiring party thereunder, which rights and benefits are more favorable on the whole than the rights and benefits established in favor of Purchaser by the definition of Material Adverse Effect or Section 6.13 set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended in order to adjust, as applicable, (A) the definition of Material Adverse Effect or (B) Section 6.13 herein so that Purchaser receives the same rights and benefits (in their entirety), on a relative proportional basis, as are conferred upon such acquiring party by each of the foregoing under the ClubCorp Merger Agreement.

6.21 Pinehurst Loan. If the New Loan Agreement is not closed prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, ClubCorp shall, at Purchaser’s request, repay, or cause to be repaid, the Pinehurst Loan, such that the membership interests of the Pinehurst Entities and the Assets will be transferred to Purchaser free and clear of any and all Liens securing the Pinehurst Loan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the Closing Date, each Employee shall be employed solely on an “at will” basis and neither the Pinehurst Entities nor Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to continue the employment of any particular Employee, except to the extent required by the provisions of a written employment Contract or as required by applicable Law.

No provision of this Agreement shall constitute a limitation on the right of Purchaser, the Pinehurst Entities or any of their respective Affiliates to terminate at will, or cause the termination at will of, any Employee.

(g) To the extent that the Employees remain employed with any of the Pinehurst Entities or any of their respective Affiliates after the Closing, such Employees shall not be deemed to be in violation of any confidentiality or non-competition agreements with ClubCorp, Pinehurst Company or any of their Affiliates (other than the Pinehurst Entities), if applicable, solely by virtue of their continuing employment by the applicable Pinehurst Entity from and after the Closing Date.

(h) Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Pinehurst Entities not to, at any time prior to the sixty-first (61st) day following the Closing Date, without fully complying with

Upon notice from Purchaser, ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company shall pay to Purchaser prior to the date any payment for Taxes as described in this Section 7.6(c) is due, an amount equal to the Taxes that would have been due if the Straddle Period had ended on the Closing Date (using an interim-closing-of-the-books method except that exemptions, allowances, and deductions that are otherwise calculated on an annual basis (such as deductions for depreciation) shall be apportioned on a per diem basis), less Taxes included in the Balance Sheet Liabilities and included as an adjustment to the Base Purchase Price.

7.7 Tax Indemnity. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 10.1, ClubCorp and Pinehurst Company, jointly and severally, agree from the Closing to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates, from and against any liability imposed on Purchaser or the Pinehurst Entities under (i) Treasury Regulation section 1.1502-6; or (ii) pursuant to that certain North Carolina franchise tax audit, as more fully described on Section 4.12(a) of the Disclosure Schedule.

(a) In the event (i) that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (A) Section 9.1(b) in connection with (x) a delay in the closing of the ClubCorp Merger that occurs based on a condition or circumstance that is attributable to ClubCorp or Pinehurst Company or (y) any other event or circumstance which is not attributable to Purchaser, (B) Section 9.1(d) based on a condition or circumstance that is attributable to ClubCorp or Pinehurst Company, or (C) Section 9.1(e); or (ii) that the New Loan Agreement does not close prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, then in each such case, ClubCorp shall be responsible to PacLife for the full amount of any unreturned portion of the Commitment Fee, and Purchaser shall have no further liability thereafter with respect to the Commitment Fee or any portions thereof withheld by PacLife.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated in any manner other than by Pinehurst Company pursuant to Section 9.1(f), ClubCorp shall reimburse Purchaser for its legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, up to a maximum reimbursement of $75,000.

10.2 Confidentiality. The Parties agree with respect to all technical, commercial and other information that is furnished or disclosed by the other Party, including information regarding such Party’s (and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’) organization, personnel, business activities, customers, policies, assets, finances, costs, sales, revenues, technology or other intellectual property, rights, obligations, liabilities and strategies in any form, including printed, written, oral, visual, electronic on software, as a consequence of this Agreement (“Confidential Information”), that, unless and until the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have been consummated (i) such Confidential Information is confidential and/or proprietary to the disclosing Party and entitled to and shall receive treatment as such by the receiving Party, (ii) the receiving Party will hold in confidence and not disclose nor use (except in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) any such Confidential Information, treating such Confidential Information with the same degree of care and confidentiality as it accords its own confidential and proprietary Confidential Information; provided, however, that the receiving Party shall not have any restrictive obligation with respect to any Confidential Information which (x) is contained in a printed publication available to the general public, (y) is independently developed by, or becomes publicly known through, no wrongful act or omission of the receiving Party, or (z) is known by the receiving Party, as demonstrated in writing upon request, without any proprietary restrictions by the furnishing/disclosing Party or any third party before the time of receipt of such Confidential Information, and (iii) all such Confidential Information furnished to either Party by the other, unless otherwise specified in writing, shall remain the property of the furnishing/disclosing Party and, in the event this Agreement is terminated, shall be returned to it, together with any and all copies made thereof, upon request for such return by it (except for documents submitted to a Governmental Entity with the consent of the furnishing/disclosing Party or upon subpoena and which cannot be retrieved with reasonable effort) and in the case of (A) oral information furnished to any Party by the other which shall have been reduced to writing by the receiving Party, and (B) all internal documents of any Party describing, analyzing or otherwise containing Confidential Information furnished by the other Party, all such writings and documents shall be destroyed, upon request, in the event this Agreement is terminated, and each Party shall confirm in writing to the other compliance with any such request.

The Parties shall not issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the existence, terms and conditions or subject matter of this Agreement prior to the Closing without the prior written approval of the other Party; provided, however, that any Party may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable Law or any listing or trading agreement.

10.4 Assignment. The respective rights and obligations of the Parties shall not be assignable without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign all or part of its rights under this Agreement and delegate all or part of its obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates, in which event all the rights and powers of Purchaser and remedies available to it under this Agreement shall extend to and be enforceable by each such Affiliate.

10.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.

(b) Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Federal court of the United States of America, located in the State of Texas, or any district court of the State of Texas, and any

appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Texas state court or, to the extent permitted by Law, in such Federal court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such Texas state or Federal court, and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such Texas state or Federal court. Each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.11. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

10.12 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement, and all of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the Parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the Parties transmitted by facsimile shall be deemed to be their original signatures for any purpose whatsoever.

10.15 Disclosure Schedule. The provision of monetary or other quantitative thresholds for disclosure does not and shall not be deemed to create or imply a standard of materiality hereunder.
