2.3 Operating Plan and Budget.

2.3.1 Owner and Westin acknowledge that Westin has prepared and delivered to Owner (and Owner has approved) the Operating Plan and Budget respecting the Resort for the Operating Year 2004. On or before November 1 of each Operating Year, Westin shall prepare and deliver to Owner, for Owner’s review and written approval, a proposed Operating Plan and Budget for the next ensuing Operating Year, which shall be designed to permit operation of the Resort in accordance with the Operating Standard, together with annualized projections of Gross Operating Revenue, Golf Operating Revenue, Operating Expenses, Capital Expenditures and other Incentive Income Deductions for the two (2) Operating Years thereafter, and which shall include the Golf Facilities Annual Plan (as defined in the Golf Management Agreement). The proposed Operating Plan and Budget for each Operating Year shall be prepared in accordance with Westin’s standard planning and budgeting requirements for first-class golf resorts and with any reasonable requirements imposed by any Mortgagee or Owner and shall contain the following items, which shall be set forth for each month of the Operating Year: (i) estimated results of operations; (ii) itemized estimated Capital Expenditures; and (iii) a statement of cash flow, including a schedule of any anticipated requirements for funding by Owner, together with the following supporting data: (x) estimates of total labor costs, including both fixed and variable labor (with specific line items for the aggregate annual compensation for each of the Senior Executive Personnel); (y) estimates of the average house rate and occupancy; and (z) an estimate of Management Fees, Marketing Fees, Central Reservations Fees and Golf Management Fees. The parties agree that (a) the overall annual compensation of each of the Senior Executive Personnel shall also be specified in the proposed Operating Plan and Budget, (b) Senior Executive Personnel shall be incentivized primarily based on the Resorts’ performance against the approved budgeted Gross Operating Profit for the Operating Year, and (c) the proposed Operating Plan and Budget shall include estimates of the target bonuses for each of the Senior Executive Personnel. The proposed Operating Plan and Budget shall also include: (1) a five (5) year forward-looking plan for the Resort, (2) a two (2) year history of operations at the Resort, and (3) an appropriate site-specific marketing plan consistent with the Operating Standard which shall reflect the Resort’s position as a destination first-class golf resort and which shall contain a

description of the Resort’s target markets, the Resort’s relative position in those markets, the proposed room rate and golf rate structures for each market segment, the current and future sales plan for the Resort, the advertising and public relations plan for the Resort and the proposed staffing and incentive plans and programs for the sales and marketing activities of the Resort. The parties hereto agree that the initial marketing plan shall include an Innisbrook site-specific Eastern U.S. and Canadian small group (less than 49 persons) golf package program, including e-mail and direct mail solicitation, regional advertising in golf publications, golf manager database utilization, small or regional business entity solicitation, private club membership (with PGA professional member) solicitation and newspaper sports editor public relations or press release programs.

2.3.2 The parties acknowledge that the planning and budgeting process is an important factor in the successful operation of the Resort and is a key communication link between the parties. Any proposed Operating Plan and Budget submitted to Owner shall be deemed approved if Owner does not provide Westin with objections within forty-five (45) days after receiving the Operating Plan and Budget. Owner and Westin shall discuss any objections provided by Owner within the aforesaid forty-five (45) day period, and Westin shall then submit to Owner written revisions to the proposed Operating Plan and Budget following such discussion. To the extent that the parties agree in writing to the revisions of the Operating Plan and Budget, the proposed Operating Plan and Budget (modified to reflect such revisions) shall become the Operating Plan and Budget for the next Operating Year. Westin shall act reasonably and exercise prudent business judgment in preparing each proposed Operating Plan and Budget and, as applicable, with respect to Owner’s objections and revisions thereto. Owner shall act reasonably and exercise prudent business judgment in approving or disapproving all or any portion of the Operating Plan and Budget, and Owner shall at all times act in a manner that shall permit compliance with the Operating Standard.

2.3.3 If the parties, despite their good faith efforts, are unable to reach final written agreement on any portion of the Operating Plan and Budget for an Operating Year by January 1 of that Operating Year, the matter(s) in dispute may be submitted by either party to arbitration in accordance with Article 10 of this Agreement. Until the arbitrator issues a decision on the matter(s) submitted, the proposed Operating Plan and Budget shall govern the areas of operations not in dispute and the prior year’s Operating Plan and Budget (with expenses increased by a percentage equal to the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index from January of the prior Operating Year to January of the Operating Year in question) shall govern the areas of operation in dispute.

2.3.4 Once the Operating Plan and Budget is finally approved (whether by written agreement or by arbitration) for an Operating Year, Westin shall use diligent efforts to achieve the results projected in, and adhere to limitations on expenditures contained in, the Operating Plan and Budget. However, Westin shall not, without Owner’s prior written approval, which approval shall be deemed given if not denied within ten (10) days after Westin’s written request therefor, incur costs or expenses or make expenditures that would cause the total expenditures in the operating budget or the budget for Capital Expenditure included in any Operating Plan and Budget to exceed the aggregate amount of expenditures provided for in such budget by more than five percent (5%). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner understands and agrees as follows:

(a) Certain expenses provided for in the Operating Plan and Budget for any Operating Year will vary based on the occupancy and use of the Resort and, accordingly, to the extent that occupancy and use of the Resort for any Operating Year exceeds the occupancy projected in the approved Operating Plan and Budget for such Operating Year, such approved Operating Plan shall be deemed to include corresponding increases in such variable expenses.

(b) The amount of certain expenses (“Uncontrollable Expenses”), including real estate and personal property taxes, utilities, insurance premiums, license and permit fees and charges provided for in contracts and leases entered into pursuant to this Agreement, are not within the ability of Westin to control. Westin shall have the right to pay from the Operating Account all Uncontrollable Expenses without reference to the amounts provided for in respect thereof in the approved Operating Plan and Budget for any Operating Year.

(c) If any expenditures are required on an emergency basis to avoid damage to the Resort or injury to Persons or property, Westin may make such expenditures, whether or not provided for or within the amounts provided for in the approved Operating Plan and Budget for the Operating Year in question, as may reasonably be required to avoid or mitigate such damage or injury. Such expenditures shall be treated as Operating Expenses or Capital Expenditures as determined in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that Westin may initially make such expenditure out of the Fund. If such expenditure is made out of the Fund, Owner shall within thirty (30) days after written notice from Westin replenish the Fund (to the extent that such expenditures exceed amounts available or otherwise allocated for contingencies) in the amount expended by Westin in accordance with the terms hereof. Westin shall notify Owner as promptly as reasonably possible of the making of any such expenditure.

(d) If any expenditures are required to comply with any Legal Requirement or to cure or prevent any violation thereof, subject to Owner’s right to direct Westin to contest such Legal Requirements or violation provided in Section 2.2.14, Westin may make such expenditures, whether or not provided for or within the amounts provided for in the approved Operating Plan and Budget for the Operating Year in question, as may be necessary to comply with such Legal Requirement or to remove or prevent the violation thereof. Such expenditures shall be treated as Operating Expenses or Capital Expenditures as determined in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that Westin may initially make such expenditure out of the Fund. If such expenditure is made out of the Fund, Owner shall within thirty (30) days after written notice from Westin replenish the Fund (to the extent that such expenditures exceed amounts available or otherwise allocated for contingencies) in the amount expended by Westin in accordance with the terms hereof. To Westin’s actual knowledge as of the Effective Date, there are no expenditures (other than those included in the Operating Plan and Budget for 2004) that are required to comply with any Legal Requirements or to cure or prevent any violation thereof except as disclosed in a writing to Owner from Westin sent in July 2004.

Westin shall have the right from time to time during each Operating Year to propose modifications to the approved Operating Plan and Budget then in effect based on actual operations during the elapsed portion of the Operating Year in question and Westin’s good faith, reasonable judgment as to what will transpire during the remainder of such Operating Year. Any such modifications shall be subject to Owner’s approval in the same manner described in Section 2.3.2. Any dispute relating to a proposed modification of an approved Operating Plan may be

submitted by either party for resolution in accordance with Article 10.

2.3.5 Without limiting Owner’s rights under Section 4.3, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Operating Plan and Budget is a reasonable estimate of income and expenditure only and neither party gives any guarantee, warranty or representation whatsoever in connection with any Operating Plan and Budget. A failure of the Resort to achieve any Operating Plan and Budget for any Operating Year shall not by itself, absent an Event of Default by Westin, entitle Owner to claim a breach or default by Westin or to terminate this Agreement under Section 4.2.

2.4 Capital Improvements. From and after the Effective Date, the following provisions shall apply as to the maintenance, repair and improvement of the Resort:

2.4.1 The Resort shall be maintained, managed and promoted as a first-class golf resort and as a member of the group of transient lodging facilities promoted under the name “Westin Hotels & Resorts,” or otherwise pursuant to Section 11.3. The Resort (including the Resort buildings, adjacent grounds, FF&E and hotel equipment and operating supplies) shall be maintained, repaired and improved by Westin at Owner’s expense, as contemplated in the Operating Plan and Budget in effect from time to time, to permit operation of the Resort in accordance with the Operating Standard.

2.4.2 In furtherance of the covenants of Section 2.4.1, Westin shall arrange for the completion of all Capital Improvements approved by Owner in the Operating Plan and Budget or otherwise, and, subject to the provisions of Section 3.5.4 below, Westin shall set aside from cash from operations (on a monthly basis in arrears) an amount equal to Two Hundred Fifty-Five Thousand Dollars ($255,000) to establish a fund (the “Fund”) in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (f) of Section 3.5.4 to facilitate funding of Capital Improvements. To the extent amounts contributed to the Fund are not expended in an Operating Year, such amounts may be accumulated for expenditure in future years, but any such amounts shall not be credited against the amount to be set aside in accordance with this Section 2.4.2 during the next Operating Year. The lack of sufficient monies in the Fund shall not limit Owner’s obligation to make Capital Improvements necessary to maintain the Operating Standard.

2.4.3 Westin shall maintain the Fund in a separate interest-bearing account in a banking institution selected by Westin and approved by Owner in writing. The Fund shall be used solely for the purpose of paying for Capital Improvements included in the approved Operating Plan and Budget or otherwise approved by Owner in writing; provided, however, that if Westin at any time determines that expenditures are required to be made to satisfy Owner Obligations or pursuant to Section 2.3.4(c) or 2.3.4(d), Westin may make such expenditures from the Fund without the prior written approval of Owner. Upon any such expenditure, Westin shall notify Owner in writing prior to the time that repairs are made (except in the event of an emergency), and shall in any event notify Owner in writing as soon as possible after such repairs are made. If Owner disputes the need for any such expenditures, the matter shall be resolved pursuant to Article 10. Any amounts remaining in the Fund at the expiration or termination of this Agreement will be promptly disbursed to Owner; provided, however, that Westin may deduct prior to such disbursement any and all amounts owed by Owner to Westin under this Agreement.

2.4.4 If the design or construction of the Resort is defective and the defective condition causes damage to the Resort, poses a risk of injury to people or property, or is not in compliance with one or more Legal Requirements or Owner Obligations, Owner shall as expeditiously as reasonably possible, after Owner’s receipt of actual written notice thereof, remedy such defect. Owner’s obligation to proceed as expeditiously as reasonably possible shall apply regardless of whether or when insurance proceeds may be available to cover the necessary expenditures. Any amounts expended by Owner in effecting this remedy shall not be deducted in determining Gross Operating Revenue or Incentive Income and shall not be included in the calculation of the Incremental Capital Amount for any period.

2.5 Books and Records, Financial Statements and Internal Audits and Marketing Summaries.

2.5.1 From and after the Effective Date, in accordance with Westin’s policies and standards, Westin shall cause books of account and other records relating to or reflecting the results of the operation of the Resort to be kept in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and, to the extent applicable, with the Uniform System of Accounts and with the requirements of any Mortgage of which Westin is provided a copy. Westin shall cause such books of account and records to be kept in such a manner as may be reasonably requested by Owner; it being agreed that any such Owner request shall be deemed reasonable to the extent (x) it is made in order for the Owner (or any Affiliate of Owner) to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) or any stock exchange listing standard, and (y) Westin makes substantially similar accommodations for other publicly traded owners for which Westin acts as manager. All books of account and other financial records shall be available to Owner and its designated agents at all reasonable times for examination, audit, inspection and copying. All of the financial books and records pertaining to the Resort, including books of account, office records, and guest information, shall be the sole property of Owner; provided, however, that guest information shall also be the property of Westin and may be used by Westin for any of its business purposes. Upon termination of this Agreement, all of such books of account and financial records shall be turned over forthwith to Owner so as to ensure the orderly continuance of the operation of the Resort, but all of such information shall be retained by Owner and made available to Westin at the Resort, at all reasonable times, for inspection, audit, examination and copying (at Westin’s expense) for at least five (5) years subsequent to the date of termination or the date of the final liquidation distribution of GTA, whichever occurs first. Owner agrees to provide Westin not less than sixty (60) days prior notice of the final liquidation distribution of GTA and shall provide or make available to Westin such books and records for copying during such sixty (60) day period.

2.5.2 Westin shall cause to be prepared and delivered reasonably detailed monthly operating reports to Owner, based on information available to Westin, that reflect operational results for the Resort for each month of the Operating Year. Westin shall deliver the first operating report to Owner on or before the twentieth (20th) day of the month following the month in which the Effective Date occurred and thereafter on or before the twentieth (20th) day of each month of the Operating Year. The first operating report shall reflect the results from the Effective Date to the end of the month in which the Effective Date occurred. The reports shall be in a format (which may be amended from time to time) substantially similar to the operating reports provided by Westin to other Westin Managed Hotels and in such other format and

including such additional information as may reasonably be required by Owner or any Mortgagee; it being agreed that any such Owner request shall be deemed reasonable to the extent (x) it is made in order for the Owner (or any Affiliate of Owner) to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or any stock exchange listing requirements and (y) Westin makes substantially similar accommodations for other publicly traded owners for which Westin acts as manager. At a minimum, monthly operating reports shall include: (i) a balance sheet including current month and prior year comparisons and differences in reasonable detail; (ii) an income and expense statement; (iii) a statement of net cash flow from operations in reasonable detail; (iv) a statement of the amount of the Management Fees, Marketing Fees, Central Reservations Fees and any other amounts payable or expenses reimbursable to Westin; and (v) a Capital Improvement and FF&E improvement schedule showing, in reasonable detail, items budgeted, actual to date and projected for completion and (vi) the other information contemplated by Exhibit F. Westin shall advise Owner of variances that have occurred and that are anticipated between the applicable Operating Plan and Budget and actual results by giving Owner a monthly variance report (along with the statements mentioned above).

2.5.3 Beginning with the second Operating Year, Westin shall cooperate with the auditor to facilitate the auditor’s preparation of the Certified Financial Statements for the preceding Operating Year to be prepared and delivered to Owner, and, upon Owner’s request, to any Mortgagee. Westin shall cooperate with the Owner’s auditor to facilitate the delivery of the Certified Financial Statements to Owner on or before February 28 of each Operating Year (beginning with the second Operating Year). Upon Owner’s request, Westin shall also prepare and deliver (or cause to be prepared and delivered) any other reports required by any Mortgagee to enable such Mortgagee to comply with applicable SEC or other regulatory requirements (provided that Westin received specific notice of any such Mortgagee’s requirements). Westin shall provide reports requested by Owner to comply with the Owner’s reporting obligations to include quarterly reports by Westin management on the effectiveness of internal controls at the Resort, including the internal controls in the golf operation, as detailed in Exhibit G. Such reports shall be received on or before February 15 of each Operating Year for the preceding year or on or before the twentieth (20th) day following the fiscal quarter, as applicable. From time to time, Owner shall have the right to request that an audit of the Resort’s internal controls be performed by an independent accounting firm and the cost of any such audit requested by Owner will be an Operating Expense of the Resort. The preparation of Certified Financial Statements and any reports required by any Mortgagee shall be an Operating Expense of the Resort. The Certified Financial Statements shall consist of a balance sheet, a statement of earnings and retained earnings and a statement of cash flows. Westin shall cause such Certified Financial Statements to contain such additional information as may be reasonably requested by Owner; it being agreed that any such Owner request shall be deemed reasonable to the extent (x) it is made in order for the Owner (or any Affiliate thereof) to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or any stock exchange listing standard and (y) Westin makes substantially similar accommodations for other publicly traded owners for which Westin acts as manager. The Certified Financial Statements shall be prepared in accordance with any reasonable requirements imposed by the Mortgagee (provided that Westin received specific notice of such requirements). The Certified Financial Statements shall contain a certificate of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, BDO Seidman or another national firm of independent certified public accountants selected by Owner and reasonably satisfactory to Westin to the effect that, subject to any qualifications contained therein, the financial statements fairly present, in conformity with Generally Accepted

Accounting Principles, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Resort for the Operating Year then ended. If Owner does not supply the information necessary for Westin to cause such financial statements to be prepared and delivered, Westin shall not be obligated to do so; Owner shall, nonetheless, deliver to Westin any Certified Financial Statements it causes to have prepared.

2.5.4 An internal audit review of the Resort shall be conducted as an Operating Expense of the Resort biennially, or more frequently as the parties shall determine to be advisable. The audit review shall be conducted by Westin personnel. Westin shall notify Owner in writing as to the scope of such internal audits, the results of the audits, and the action plans recommended to correct any deficiencies noted by the audits, within thirty (30) days of the completion of the audits (that is, when the action plans resulting from such audit have been approved by Westin). Owner shall reimburse Westin (as an Operating Expense of the Resort) for the travel and out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Westin personnel in performing such audits.

2.5.5 Simultaneously with the delivery of the monthly operating reports to Owner, Westin shall deliver to Owner a summary of Westin’s specific marketing efforts relating to the Resort for such month, including results tracking information. The summary shall include (i) a general description of significant marketing and promotional events held to promote the Resort and information regarding the costs and benefits thereof (e.g., among other things, bookings resulting therefrom), and (ii) a summary which generally describes the relative success and cost-effectiveness of each such marketing initiative as well as the incentive compensation plans and programs.

2.6 Personnel. During the term of this Agreement, Westin shall manage all aspects of the Resort’s human resources functions. In furtherance of this duty, Westin shall implement at the Resort Westin’s personnel policies and procedures. Westin and Owner shall have the responsibilities and exercise the rights set forth below (in addition to those set forth in Section 2.2):

2.6.1 Westin shall identify, appoint, assign, instruct and supervise the General Manager and department heads, and they, or other Resort Personnel to whom they may delegate such authority, shall identify, appoint, assign, instruct and supervise all personnel necessary or advisable for the operation of the Resort; provided, however, that Owner shall have the right to interview and approve (in Owner’s sole reasonable discretion) the individuals selected by Westin and/or Golf Manager as General Manager, Director of Operations, Director - Golf Operations (as defined in the Golf Management Agreement), Director of Sales and Marketing, Superintendent of Golf and Controller prior to their appointment. Prior to appointing an individual to any of the positions specified in the preceding sentence, Westin shall provide Owner with a written summary of such individual’s professional experience, qualifications and proposed terms of employment (including compensation and benefits) and shall offer Owner the opportunity to interview the candidate at the Resort or another mutually acceptable location. Owner will forego its right to interview any such individual if Owner or its authorized representative is unwilling or unable to participate in the interview within seven (7) business days following Westin’s offer. Owner shall be deemed to have approved the appointment of any such individual unless Owner delivers notice of its disapproval of such appointment within ten (10) business days after

Owner’s receipt of the aforementioned written summary and Westin’s offer to Owner to interview the candidate. Owner may disapprove any individual proposed by Westin hereunder in Owner’s sole reasonable discretion. The terms of employment, including training, compensation, bonuses, Benefit Plans, discharge and replacement of all Resort Personnel shall be established and administered by Westin and shall be on then-prevailing market terms and included in the Operating Plan and Budget. For purposes of this Section 2.6.1, Resort Personnel as defined in Section 1.2.70 does not include Included Asset Management Personnel.

2.6.2 With respect to the Benefit Plans for non-union Resort Personnel, Westin shall adopt and offer to such Resort Personnel the group Benefit Plans for non-union employees that are available through Westin to other companies who employ non-union workers at other Westin Managed Hotels. All costs associated with such plans shall be Operating Expenses of the Resort.

2.6.3 All Resort Personnel shall be direct employees of Owner or an Affiliate of Owner, provided that Westin may designate and employ certain key Resort Personnel (including the Senior Executive Personnel) as Westin Personnel and Golf Manager may designate and directly employ certain employees in accordance with the Golf Management Agreement. All payroll and other costs of employment of Resort Personnel, including costs associated with Benefit Plans, out-of-pocket costs associated with the management of Resort Personnel, and the Resort’s allocated share of any associated administrative costs (provided that such allocation is made in the same manner as for substantially all other Westin Managed Hotels), including costs of recruitment, relocation, employment, discipline, discharge and severance, shall be Operating Expenses of the Resort and the responsibility of Owner.

2.6.4 Owner acknowledges that Westin or its Affiliate may have an obligation under federal, state or local law to give advance notice to Resort Personnel of any termination of employment, and that failure to comply with this notification obligation could give rise to civil and criminal liabilities. Owner shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Westin from and against any such liabilities caused by any action by Owner that results in termination of the employment of Resort Personnel (including wrongfully terminating this Agreement) and imposes an advance notification obligation on Westin. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall have no indemnification obligation under this Section 2.6.4 if: (i) Owner terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof based upon an Event of Default by Westin, (ii) Westin (or its Affiliates) is given adequate opportunity to comply with applicable state, federal or local law, or (iii) Owner or a new buyer of the Resort takes action (such as the immediate rehiring of the Resort Personnel in question on terms equivalent to those previously in effect) that would obviate any notification obligation.

2.6.5 Westin agrees to use reasonable efforts to ensure that any individual selected by Westin for the position of General Manager, Director of Operations, Controller, Director of Golf Sales, Director of Sales and Marketing, Superintendent of Golf for the Resort intends to remain employed at the Resort for a period of at least twenty-four (24) months from the date of such individual’s appointment to such position. Westin shall not, without the consent of Owner, propose a transfer to, solicit the transfer of, terminate and re-hire, terminate and permit an Affiliate to re-hire, or permit a transfer of any individual in the position of General Manager, Director of Operations, Controller, Director of Sales and Marketing, Director of Golf

Sales, Superintendent of Golf, Director of Group Sales or Director of Revenue for a period of twenty-four (24) months following such individual’s appointment to such position. The foregoing restrictions shall not be deemed to prohibit Westin from approving a transfer requested by an employee primarily for family or other personal reasons (as distinguished from Westin’s approval of a transfer requested by an employee primarily for career-motivated reasons).

2.7 Marketing, Sales and Reservations. From and after the Effective Date, Westin shall provide marketing, sales and reservation services as follows:

2.7.1 Westin shall maintain a marketing and sales program that promotes Westin’s corporate identity, advertises to Westin’s markets, and secures bookings for hotels and resorts, including the Resort, operated in affiliation with “Westin Hotels & Resorts,” or as otherwise provided in Section 11.3. In addition, Westin shall coordinate the individual marketing program for the Resort and Golf Facility with Westin’s marketing and sales program, and as appropriate, include the Resort and the Golf Facility in Westin’s identity and national advertising programs. The services to be provided under this Section 2.7.1 shall include, without limitation:

(a) development and implementation of a marketing program for the Resort and Golf Facility following the Westin policies and guidelines, which will provide for the planning, publicity, internal communications, organizing and budgeting activities to be undertaken and shall aggressively market and promote the Resort as a first-class destination golf facility catering to business and social guests;

(b) production, distribution and placement of promotional materials relating to the Resort and Golf Facility, including materials for the promotion of employee relations;

(c) development and implementation of promotional offers or programs that benefit the Resort and Golf Facility and are undertaken by Westin or by a group of Westin hotels and golf resorts that includes the Resort;

(d) attendance of Resort Personnel at conventions, meetings, seminars and conferences relevant to their employment at the Resort, including events relating to the destination golf industry;

(e) selection of and guidance to, as required, advertising agency and public relations personnel;

(f) preparation and dissemination of news releases for national and international trade and consumer publications; and

(g) preparation and dissemination to Owner of the marketing summaries required by Section 2.5.5 and 2.5.6.

2.7.2 Westin shall secure bookings for the Resort through Westin’s sales and reservations offices and other distribution and sales systems, and shall encourage the use of the Resort by tourists, special groups, travel congresses, travel agencies, airlines and other recognized sources of destination golf resort business. Westin shall develop a sales program,

represent the Resort at appropriate conventions and travel congresses, and list the Resort in printings of general tariff bulletins. In addition, Westin shall process reservations for the Resort through Westin’s world-wide communications network.

2.7.3 Development and implementation of the marketing program for the Resort and the Golf Facility is accomplished substantially by Resort Personnel, with periodic assistance of corporate personnel of Westin with marketing and sales expertise. The cost of development and implementation of the marketing program for the Resort and the Golf Facility shall be an Operating Expense. The program shall comply with Westin’s sales, advertising and public relations policies and corporate identity requirements, as they may be modified from time to time. Such requirements currently include the following: (i) Westin’s logotype must be used in the identification of the Resort for marketing purposes (provided that the parties acknowledge that the existing “Innisbrook” logo or another Resort logo developed by Owner and approved by Westin may also be used for the marketing of the Resort itself, as distinguished from the corporate marketing provided by Westin pursuant to Section 2.7.1); (ii) Owner must obtain Westin’s consent prior to publishing any Resort or Golf Facility advertising materials or using the name or likeness of the Resort or Golf Facility in any advertising or promotional programs undertaken by Owner or its agents, advisors or consultants (and Westin acknowledges that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any such request by Owner and shall consider any such request in a manner consistent with similar requests previously received by Westin and shall not charge any consideration for its consent to any such matter other than reimbursement of Westin’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in reviewing any proposed materials submitted to Westin for approval pursuant to this clause); and (iii) the Resort must participate in all Westin promotional and marketing programs (including for destination golf resorts) for so long as they are continued, including Westin’s guest recognition program (currently known as Starwood Preferred Guest®) and any travel agent incentive program. Nothing contained herein shall require Westin’s consent or approval with respect to the form or content of any marketing or offering materials prepared by or on behalf of Owner to facilitate the sale or transfer of ownership of the Resort, except to the extent such materials refer to Westin or the Westin Trademarks, in which case Westin’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

2.7.4 Without Westin’s consent, Owner shall not maintain or use in connection with the Resort any toll-free or similar telephone line or communications device for making reservations that is independent of the reservations telephone line or communications device maintained by Westin in connection with “Westin Hotels & Resorts.” The toll-free telephone line or similar telephone number or communications device for making reservations that Westin maintains must be the only telephone reservations line or communications device for the Resort. The Resort shall be listed in all airline reservations systems (which include what are known in the hospitality industry as Global Distribution Systems) under the code for “Westin Hotels & Resorts” which is “WI.”

2.7.5 Owner agrees that, throughout the term of this Agreement, the full inventory of the Resort’s available rooms shall be loaded into Westin’s reservations systems (subject to the requirement that Owner and Westin shall agree to manage the status and inventory on a daily basis to maximize golf sales to greens fee paying guests). Westin, through its

oversight of Resort Personnel, shall ensure that such inventory is so loaded as required by this Section 2.7.5.

2.8 Westin’s Computer Services. Westin shall perform Computer Services necessary to operate the Resort and enable the Resort to function as a member of the group of hotels and golf resorts known as “Westin Hotels & Resorts,” or any successor thereto, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Exhibit C attached hereto.

2.9 Purchasing.

2.9.1 In the performance of its obligations under Section 2.2.10, Westin may, in its discretion (subject to the following provisions of this Section 2.9) elect to purchase the items described therein under vendor contracts available to Westin under any purchasing program maintained from time to time by Westin or its Affiliates, provided that the prices and terms of the goods and services purchased under such vendor contracts are competitive with the prices and terms of goods and services of equal quality available from others. In determining, pursuant to the foregoing, whether such prices and terms are competitive, they will be compared to the prices and/or fees which would be charged by reputable and qualified unrelated third parties on an arm’s length basis for similar goods and/or services. The goods and/or services which are being purchased may be grouped in reasonable categories, rather than being compared item by item. In respect of such purchases, but subject to Section 2.9.2 below, Owner understands and acknowledges that Westin and/or its Affiliates may receive certain payments, fees, commissions or reimbursements from vendors, and that Westin and/or its Affiliates may have investments in such vendors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Westin, Owner shall have the right to opt out of any purchasing program in respect of all purchases or such items as Owner may designate in such notice. Westin shall act in a prudent manner in purchasing items for the Resort (whether under a purchasing program or otherwise), but, in selecting such items for purchase, Westin shall be entitled to take into account the environmental consequences of its selections and the desirability of encouraging such objectives as recycling of materials.

2.9.2 Notwithstanding Section 2.9.1 above, Westin’s policy with respect to its purchasing program is based on net pricing, whereby Westin and its Affiliates (i) absorb the national and regional administrative costs of its purchasing program; and (ii) integrate any payments, fees, commission, or reimbursements, which Westin would have otherwise received from vendors, into the pricing of such goods to reduce the cost thereof. In certain exceptional circumstances, suppliers are not willing to negotiate net pricing arrangements with Westin, and continue to require participation by Westin and its Affiliates in marketing partnership arrangements. In accordance with such marketing partnership arrangements, Westin may accept certain funds from such suppliers (the “Supplier Funds”), which Supplier Funds shall be expended either as agreed upon by Westin and such suppliers, or as directed by such suppliers. In either case, the Supplier Funds received by Westin are intended to be used for programs designed to benefit the Westin Managed Hotels. Upon Owner’s request, Westin will provide Owner with an annual accounting of any Supplier Funds received by Westin. In the event Westin receives any Supplier Funds that are not allocated to programs designed to benefit the Westin Managed Hotels, such Supplier Funds shall be distributed to Owner in an equitable manner and on the same basis as allocated to substantially all of the other Westin Managed

Hotels. For purposes of clarification, Owner shall not have the right to receive any Supplier Funds that are allocated by Westin to programs designed to benefit the Westin Managed Hotels.

2.10 Resort Parking. At all times during the term of this Agreement, Owner shall cause to be available at the Resort, adequate parking to meet the needs of the Resort, at no incremental cost to the Resort. Westin shall manage the Resort’s parking facilities as a department of the Resort.

2.11 Golf Facility. As of the Effective Date, Westin’s management of the Golf Facility shall be delegated to the Golf Manager pursuant to the Golf Management Agreement. In light of the integrated nature of the Resort, and in light of the importance of the successful operation of the Golf Facility to the success of the Resort, Westin and Owner shall cooperate fully with each other with respect to the oversight of the operation of the Golf Facility and Golf Manager by Westin. The Golf Director shall, pursuant to the Golf Management Agreement, report to the General Manager, and shall participate with Westin in the development of sales and marketing, booking, pricing strategies and other operational matters affecting the Golf Facility and other components of the Resort. Such oversight by Westin shall be effected with guidance from Owner. By way of example, but subject to the limitations contained in other agreements affecting the Resort (including, without limitation, the Master Lease Agreement), if Owner and Westin determine that it is in the interest of the Resort to offer package pricing to Resort guests for rooms and for greens fees and/or lessons or other services at the Golf Facility, Westin, Golf Manager and Owner shall cooperate in good faith to make appropriate allocations of the revenues and expenses between the Golf Facility and the balance of the Resort. In addition, Owner agrees to comply and to cause its Affiliates to comply with the following terms and conditions during the term of this Agreement.

2.11.1 The Golf Facility, as well as all signage, landscaping, entry and access components of the Golf Facility shall be, and Owner and Westin shall at all times exercise reasonable and diligent efforts by direct action, enforcement of contractual rights or otherwise to insure that such facilities and components are, maintained and operated to a standard consistent and compatible with the first-class standard of the Resort as contemplated by this Agreement and consistent with the standards of maintenance and operation of other first-class golf resorts operated by Westin. Westin shall ensure that at all times the operation of the Golf Facility complies with the Operating Standard.

2.11.2 Throughout the term of this Agreement, Owner shall ensure that the Resort is afforded access and use rights with respect to the Golf Facility in order to seek to satisfy the reasonable needs and expectations of Resort guests. In furtherance of the foregoing covenant, Owner acknowledges that Westin shall have the authority and duty to cause procedures to be established (including a system of priority reservation rights) to seek to ensure that the Resort has access to a sufficient number of tee times daily (at times corresponding to anticipated demand) to meet the reasonable needs and expectations of Resort guests for individual and tournament play, subject to the contractual rights of private members of the Golf Facility and owners of the individual condominium units within the Resort.

2.11.3 Westin agrees that Owner is a third party beneficiary of the Golf Management Agreement and that Westin shall not amend, restate, modify, terminate or waive

any provision of the Golf Management Agreement without Owner’s prior written consent in each instance, and, with respect to any economic modifications, such consent may be denied in Owner’s sole and absolute discretion.

3. MARKETING FEES AND EXPENSES; MANAGEMENT
FEE AND REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES

3.1 Sales, Reservations, Communications and Marketing Expenses; Computer Services.

3.1.1 Owner shall pay Westin a fee for the provision of the corporate marketing and the sales and reservations services described in Sections 2.7.1. and 2.7.2. (the “Marketing Fee”). The Marketing Fee shall be an Operating Expense of the Resort. As of the Effective Date, the Marketing Fee shall be 1.9% of annual Gross Operating Revenue. The amount of the Marketing Fee shall be determined by Westin from time to time in an attempt to obtain on an equitable basis from all Westin Managed Hotels, reimbursement without profit over the long term, and not over the course of any specific fiscal period, for the aggregate costs of providing the services described in Sections 2.7.1. and 2.7.2. to all Westin Managed Hotels; provided that the amount of the Marketing Fee shall not exceed 1.9% of Gross Operating Revenue during the term of this Agreement without Owner’s prior consent. Owner specifically acknowledges that the Marketing Fee is a fixed charge, not subject to adjustment or refund, and not allocated to or earmarked for any specific marketing or sales expense or service, or for any specific hotel or golf resort.

3.1.2 For guests in the Starwood Preferred Guest® program, Westin’s guest recognition program, Owner shall pay the per-stay charges, as established by Westin from time to time, applicable under such program and under travel affiliate programs and the Resort’s allocated share of the costs of special promotions associated with such programs. As of January 1, 2003, the Starwood Preferred Guest® and travel affiliate per-stay charges are those set forth in Exhibit H attached hereto.

3.1.3 Owner shall reimburse Westin for (i) amounts owed or paid to third parties (such as airlines, travel consortia groups, electronic distribution channels (including, the Global Distribution System), Internet-booking services or providers of network communications services) in connection with securing or processing reservations for the Resort; (ii) amounts owed or paid to Hotel Clearing Corporation (known as “HCC”) or to World Travel Payment (known as “WTP”) or to such other centralized payers of travel agent commissions as Westin may contract with in the future for the processing of travel agents’ commission earned for reservations consumed at the Resort; and (iii) the cost of the Resort’s participation in any incentive program sponsored by Westin for any travel arrangers. The expense reimbursements described in this Section 3.1.3 shall be charged to the Resort on the same bases as they are generally charged to substantially all of the Westin Managed Hotels and, to the extent any such expenses relate to charges from Affiliates of Westin, such expenses shall be limited to amounts that would have been charged by unrelated third parties for similar goods or services.

3.1.4 In addition to paying the expenses identified in Section 3.1.3, Owner shall pay Westin a fee for the Resort’s access to Westin’s central reservations system (the “Central

Reservations Fee”). The amount and basis for calculation of the Central Reservations Fee are determined by Westin from time to time in an attempt to obtain reimbursement without profit (over the long term, and not over the course of any fiscal period) for the aggregate costs of providing Westin Managed Hotels with access to Westin’s central reservations system. As of the effective date of the GHR Agreement, the Central Reservations Fee was one percent (1.0%) of Gross Rooms Revenue. The Central Reservations Fee shall not exceed one percent (1.0%) of Gross Rooms Revenue during the term of this Agreement without Owner’s prior written consent.

3.1.5 From time to time, Westin may change the rates and methods for allocating the costs and expenses described in Sections 3.1.2 and 3.1.3, and Owner agrees to any such change so long as such change is reasonable and made in good faith and generally applicable to substantially all of the Westin Managed Hotels. Westin agrees not to change any methods of allocation or change any rate over which Westin has control (i.e., charge/rates that are not billed to Westin by third parties and passed through to the Resort) more often than once annually and shall notify Owner of any such change in method or rate by November 1 prior to the Operating Year for which the change shall be effective.

3.1.6 The Marketing Fee and the Central Reservations Fee for each Operating Year shall be paid monthly in arrears beginning after the Effective Date, and each monthly installment shall be due on the date Westin furnishes to Owner the monthly operating report required by Section 2.5.2. The reimbursements required by Section 3.1.2 and Section 3.1.3 shall be paid by Owner to Westin by the due date specified by Westin and shall constitute “Operating Expenses” of the Resort.

3.1.7 For Westin’s performance of Computer Services, Owner shall compensate Westin in the amounts and at the times specified by Westin in monthly invoices delivered for services provided in accordance with the terms and conditions of Exhibit C attached hereto.

3.2 Management Fee.

3.2.1 For the services Westin provides in accordance with Article 2, Owner shall pay Westin a Management Fee with respect to each Operating Year calculated as follows:

(a) a Base Fee in an amount equal to two and two-tenths percent (2.2%) of the sum of annual Gross Operating Revenue and Golf Operating Revenue for such Operating Year;

plus

(b) an Incentive Fee calculated as follows:

(i) For each Operating Year or partial Operating Year commencing on or after the Effective Date and ending on or before the Westin Recovery Date (including, for the sake of clarity, the partial Operating Year commencing July 1 of the calendar year in which the Westin Recovery Date occurs and ending on the Westin Recovery Date), the Incentive Fee shall equal the sum of (A) twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount (if any) of Incentive Income for such Operating Year (or partial Operating Year) that exceeds Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) and is equal to or less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), plus (B) fifty percent (50%) of the amount (if any) of Incentive Income

for such Operating Year (or partial Operating Year) that exceeds Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000); and

(ii) For each Operating Year or partial Operating Year commencing after the Westin Recovery Date (including, for the sake of clarity, the partial Operating Year commencing the day after the Westin Recovery Date and ending on the last day of the Operating Year in which the Westin Recovery Date occurs), the Incentive Fee shall equal fifty percent (50%) of the amount (if any) of Incentive Income for such Operating Year (or partial Operating Year) that exceeds the Post-Recovery Incentive Fee Threshold (as defined below) for such Operating Year (or partial Operating Year).

For purposes of this Section 3.2.1(b), the “Post-Recovery Incentive Fee Threshold” means, (x) in respect of the partial Operating Year commencing the day after the Westin Recovery Date and ending December 31 of the same calendar year, an amount equal to $10,000,000 (pro rated as described in the following sentence), increased by a percentage equal to (1) the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index from January 1, 2004 to the Westin Recovery Date, plus (2) one percent (1%), and (y) in respect of each subsequent Operating Year, the most recently calculated Post Recovery Incentive Fee Threshold, increased by (1) the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index during the immediately preceding Operating Year, plus (2) one percent (1%).

When calculating the Incentive Fee for any period of less than a full Operating Year (the periods from the Effective Date through December 31st of such calendar year (the “Initial Stub Period”), and January 1st of the calendar year in which this Agreement terminates through the actual termination date (the “Final Stub Period”), shall collectively be referred to as the “Stub Periods”), the Incentive Income for the Stub Periods shall be an amount equal to the product of (x) the Incentive Income for the twelve (12) month period ending on the last day of the month prior to the calendar month in which (i) the Initial Stub Period ends, or (ii) the Final Stub Period ends, as applicable, and (y) the length, in days, of such Stub Period, divided by Three Hundred Sixty (360).

3.2.2 The Management Fee shall be paid monthly in arrears beginning after the Effective Date, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 3.5.4 below. The Base Fee shall be paid monthly in accordance with Section 3.2.1(a). The Incentive Fee shall be paid in substantially equal monthly installments based on the anticipated Incentive Income for the Operating Year as disclosed in the approved Operating Plan and Budget, as updated and adjusted monthly during the Operating Year in accordance with actual operating results and forecasts from Westin reasonably approved by Owner. Each monthly installment of the Management Fee shall be due and payable on the date Westin furnishes to Owner the monthly operating report required by Section 2.5.2.

3.2.3 Within thirty (30) days after Owner receives the Certified Financial Statements for each Operating Year, Westin shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Owner a Fee Statement showing the calculation and payment of the Management Fee, the Marketing Fee and the Central Reservations Fee for that Operating Year, and appropriate adjustments shall be made for any overpayment or underpayment of the Management Fee, the Marketing Fee or the Central Reservations Fee during such Operating Year. The party owing money as a result of the

overpayment or underpayment during such Operating Year shall pay such amount within thirty (30) days after the Fee Statement has been delivered by Westin to Owner.

3.3 Reimbursement of Expenses.

3.3.1 Owner shall reimburse Westin or (if directed by Westin) its Affiliates, at the time and in the manner provided in Section 3.3.3 below, for all Reimbursable Expenses incurred in accordance with this Agreement (including Section 2.3.4 hereof) or as otherwise approved by Owner in writing.

3.3.2 As of the Effective Date, the Resort’s annual share of the costs described in Sections 3.3.1(b), 3.3.1(e) and 3.3.l(f) would be calculated based on various methods of allocation, ranging from a per capita charge for Resort Personnel (not including personnel employed by Golf Manager) to a percentage of payroll-related expenses for Resort Personnel (not including personnel employed by Golf Manager). Westin acknowledges that the methods and rates for the expenses described in Section 3.3.1 are generally applicable to substantially all Westin Managed Hotels as of the Effective Date. The methods for allocating such costs may change from time to time, and Owner agrees to any such change so long as it is generally applicable to substantially all of the Westin Managed Hotels.

The parties hereto agree that interest shall in no event accrue on (i) the Westin Investment Amount, unless (and then only to the extent) any portion thereof is not paid when due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) any payment to Westin properly deferred pursuant to Section 3.5.4 or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(b) an account or accounts for the purpose of obtaining for the Resort the most favorable terms available for settling electronic transactions effected with bank and nonbank credit cards; provided, however, that the discount and other fees charged by any such bank as well as payment terms must be competitive with the charges for such services and timeliness of payment prevailing among banks in Tampa, Florida.

3.5.2 Westin’s designees shall be the only persons authorized to draw from the Operating Account(s), and Westin shall be entitled to make deposits in all of such accounts, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and Westin’s standard accounting policies and practices.

(j) disbursement of any remaining balance to Owner or, as directed by Owner to pay other obligations of Owner.

The payments, disbursements and reserve fundings enumerated in this Section 3.5.4 shall be made by Westin on behalf of Owner on a monthly basis; provided that payments required to satisfy the Resort’s obligations to third parties shall be made from time to time as and when

determined by Westin to be necessary or advisable for the continued uninterrupted operation of the Resort.

3.5.5 No Right of Setoff. All of Owner’s obligations to make payments to Westin under this Agreement are absolute and unconditional, not subject to any rights of setoff, except to the extent of any undisputed amounts payable by Westin to Owner or others under this Agreement. Similarly, all of Westin’s obligations to make payments to Owner under this Agreement are absolute and unconditional, not subject to any right of setoff, except to the extent of any fees and other amounts payable by Owner to Westin or others as specifically provided under this Agreement.

3.6 Fees. Owner shall have no obligation to pay Westin any fees or other payments except as specified in this Agreement.

4. TERM AND TERMINATION

4.1 Term of Agreement.

4.1.1 Westin’s services under this Agreement shall commence at 12:01 a.m. local time on the Effective Date and shall end, unless earlier terminated as provided in this Agreement, at midnight local time on December 31, 2017.

4.1.2 Owner shall have the right (the “Extension Right”) to extend the term of this Agreement for up to ten (10) additional periods of one (1) year each (each such period being referred to as an “Extension Term”), by giving Westin written notice (an “Extension Notice”) of such extension on or before the date (the “Notice Date”) that is ninety (90) days prior to the scheduled expiration of the then-current term. Owner’s Extension Right shall expire automatically as to all future Extension Terms if Owner has not given an Extension Notice to Westin by the applicable Notice Date and any Extension Notice given by Owner shall, at Westin’s option, be of no force or effect if an Event of Default by Owner has occurred and remains uncured as of the scheduled commencement of the applicable Extension Term.

4.2 Events of Default. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement addressing termination (including Section 2.6.4), if at any time during the term of this Agreement any of the events set forth in this Section 4.2 occurs and continues beyond the applicable grace period (an ”Event of Default”), the nondefaulting party may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other party specifying a date, not earlier than five (5) days after the giving of such written notice when the Agreement shall terminate. If this Agreement is terminated by Westin due to an Event of Default by Owner, then, in addition to those amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.5, Owner shall pay to Westin the then applicable Termination Fee. In addition to its right of termination, the nondefaulting party shall be entitled to pursue all other remedies available to it under applicable law as a result of such Event of Default. Events of Default are as follows:

4.2.1 A breach of any material representation, warranty, or covenant in this Agreement, or any default in the performance of any obligation under this Agreement that can be cured by the payment of money, but that is not cured within ten (10) days following an initial written notice of default given by the nondefaulting party and remains uncured for an additional

twenty (20) days following a second written notice of default given by the nondefaulting party at least ten (10) days following the initial written notice of default.

4.2.2 A breach of any material representation, warranty, or covenant in this Agreement, or a default in the performance of any obligation under this Agreement that cannot be cured by the payment of money and that is not cured within twenty (20) days following an initial written notice of default given by the nondefaulting party and remains uncured for an additional ten (10) days following a second written notice of default given by the nondefaulting party at least twenty (20) days following the initial notice of default; provided that if curing the breach or default is not possible within the aggregate notice and cure period described above and the defaulting party commences to cure the breach or default within such period and thereafter proceeds diligently and in good faith to complete the cure, the defaulting party shall have a period of not more than ninety (90) days following the initial notice of default to cure such breach or default.

4.2.3 Any action by a party toward dissolution of its operations; a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, a judgment of insolvency against a party; a voluntary petition for relief under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar debtor relief laws or regulations; the appointment (or petition or application for appointment) of a receiver, custodian, trustee, conservator, or liquidator to oversee all or any substantial part of a party’s assets or the conduct of its business; an order for relief against a party under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar debtor relief laws or regulations; a party’s failure generally to pay its debts as such debts become due; or notice to any governmental body of insolvency or pending insolvency or suspension of operations.

4.2.4 The issuance of a levy or an attachment against all or any portion of the Resort resulting from a final judgment for which all appeal periods have expired, which is in an amount in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and is not fully covered by insurance.

4.3 Termination for Failure to Achieve Performance Test.

4.3.1 From and after the 2006 Operating Year, Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, without payment of any additional fee or premium, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.5 below, if, for any two consecutive Operating Years (i.e., beginning with the 2006 and 2007 Operating Years), the Gross Operating Profit achieved by the Resort for each such Operating Year is less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Gross Operating Profit set forth in the approved Operating Plan and Budget for such Operating Year (the “Performance Test”). Owner may exercise the termination right after a failure to achieve the Performance Test for two (2) consecutive Operating Years by delivering an irrevocable notice of termination to Westin that satisfies the following requirements: (i) the notice shall be delivered to Westin within sixty (60) days after receipt by Owner of Certified Financial Statements for the second such Operating Year, and the notice shall specify an effective termination date not less than sixty (60) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the delivery of such notice. In the event the Operating Plan and Budget for any Operating Year shall not have been approved by Owner and Westin in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement by the end of such Operating Year or settled by the Dispute resolution procedures described in Article 10 by the end of such Operating Year, Owner shall not have the right to

terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.3 based on the Resort’s Gross Operating Profit for such Operating Year until Owner and Westin have approved such applicable Operating Plan and Budget or until the Dispute in respect of such applicable Operating Plan and Budget has been settled in accordance with the provisions of Article 10. Owner’s termination right under this Section 4.3 shall not be exercisable in the event that the applicable level of Gross Operating Profit is not achieved as a result of: (1) a Force Majeure Event (including a material reduction in occupancy resulting from a Force Majeure Event), (2) a breach by Owner of Owner’s obligation to provide working funds for Westin to maintain the Resort in accordance with the Operating Standard, (3) a Taking, (4) a reduction in available room nights or tee times resulting from a capital improvement program that was not contemplated in the Operating Plan and Budget for the Operating Year in question, or (5) general adverse market and economic conditions, as reflected by a material decline (i.e., a decline of more than five percent (5%)) in the average RevPAR of the Comparable Golf Resorts.

4.3.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.3.1, Westin shall have the right (but not the obligation) to avoid a termination of this Agreement under this Section 4.3 by paying to Owner, within ten (10) days after Westin’s receipt of Owner’s termination notice, an amount equal to the difference between: (i) eight-five percent (85%) of the Gross Operating Profit set forth in the approved Operating Plan and Budget for the second of the two consecutive Operating Years giving rise to Owner’s right to terminate, and (ii) the actual Gross Operating Profit for such Operating Year (the “Cure Right”). Westin’s Base Fee and Incentive Fee shall also be equitably adjusted upward to reflect the additional Gross Operating Profit being paid to Owner. In the event Westin makes such payment on a timely basis, Owner’s notice of termination shall be deemed withdrawn and Owner shall not have the right to send another notice of termination unless the Resort has failed to satisfy the Performance Test for each of two consecutive Operating Years thereafter, in which case the Cure Right may be exercised again.

4.4 Termination Without Cause. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, Owner, or any assignee or successor thereof, may terminate this Agreement at any time by delivering written notice to Westin, subject to the following provisions of this Section 4.4.

4.4.1 Any termination notice from Owner to Westin pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall specify the effective date of such termination, which shall be at least seventy-five (75) days following the date of such written notice. The actual date of such termination shall be referred to in this Section 4.4 as the “Termination Date.”

4.4.2 As a condition to the effectiveness of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.4, Owner shall pay to Westin, on or before the Termination Date, an amount (the “Termination Fee”) equal to Five Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,900,000), reduced by Three Hundred Sixty-Five Dollars ($365) per day for each day elapsed between the Effective Date and the Termination Date; provided, however, that the Termination Fee shall not be reduced below Five Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,500,000).

4.4.3 In addition to the Termination Fee, Owner shall pay to Westin in connection with any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.4: ( a) any accrued but unpaid Management Fees outstanding as of the Termination Date, and (b) all other amounts

to be paid or reimbursed by Owner pursuant to Section 4.5 in connection with any termination of this Agreement.

4.5 Actions To Be Taken on Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, the parties covenant and agree to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.5, which shall expressly survive termination of this Agreement. The provisions set forth in this Section 4.5 shall not be deemed to impair the rights of the nondefaulting party to pursue any other remedies available under applicable law.

4.5.1 Except in connection with a termination of this Agreement based upon an Event of Default by Westin, any and all reasonably and actually incurred out of pocket expenses arising as a result of such termination or as a result of the cessation of Resort operations shall be for the sole account of Owner, and Owner shall reimburse Westin within thirty (30) days after receipt of any invoice or invoices from Westin, for any reasonably and actually incurred expenses, including those arising from or in connection with the termination of those Resort Personnel employed by Westin with severance benefits calculated according to Westin’s policies applicable to employees of Westin and according to Westin’s policies applicable generally to employees of Westin Managed Hotels, reasonably and actually incurred by Westin in the course of effecting the termination of this Agreement or the cessation of Resort operations; provided that such terminated Resort Personnel are not otherwise employed by Westin or an Affiliate of Westin.

4.5.2 Within thirty (30) days after termination, Owner shall pay Westin the then-unpaid portion of the Marketing Fee for the balance of the Operating Year in which the termination occurs (except in connection with a termination of this Agreement based upon an Event of Default by Westin, in which event only the portion of the Marketing Fee accrued through the date of termination shall be payable), and all then-unpaid Management Fees (including any accrued but unpaid portion of the Base Fee) and Central Reservations Fees accrued through the date of termination and all outstanding unpaid Reimbursable Expenses due Westin under the terms of this Agreement. Owner shall not have or exercise any rights of setoff with respect to such payment or payments.

4.5.3 Westin shall peacefully vacate and surrender the Resort to Owner promptly upon Owner’s written request that Westin do so.

4.5.4 Westin shall purchase from Owner in cash, at the cost paid by the Resort for such supplies, all unbroken cases of hotel equipment and operating supplies bearing only the identification of Westin then on hand at the Resort or ordered or purchased.

4.5.5 Westin shall assign and transfer to Owner:

(a) all books and records respecting the Resort and all contracts, leases, and other documents respecting the Resort that are not Westin’s proprietary information and are in the custody and control of Westin, including, without limitation, those provided for in Section 2.5; and

(b) all of Westin’s right, title and interest in and to all liquor, restaurant and any other licenses and permits, if any, used by Westin in the operation of the Resort, to the extent

such assignment or transfer is permitted under Florida law; provided, however, that if Westin has expended any of its own funds in the acquisition of licenses or permits, Owner shall reimburse Westin therefor to the extent such licenses are transferable and such amounts have not been previously reimbursed.

4.5.6 Owner shall honor all business confirmed for the Resort with reservation dates after the termination. Westin shall take no action to divert or frustrate the confirmed business at the Resort; provided, however, that the mere notice that the Resort is no longer a Westin Managed Hotel will not, in and of itself, be deemed to divert or frustrate such confirmed business.

4.5.7 Owner shall immediately take all steps reasonably requested by Westin to disassociate the Resort and Owner from the Westin Trademarks and shall in any event delete all Westin Trademarks from the Resort name and cease to use all FF&E and Operating Supplies bearing any of the Westin Trademarks within a reasonable period of time after the termination at Owner’s cost and expense. If Owner fails to remove Trademark-bearing Resort signage within a reasonable period of time after the termination, Westin has the right to remove and retain all such interior or exterior signage and, unless the termination was due to an Event of Default by Westin, Westin’s removal of such signage shall be without any liability to Owner for the cost to restore or repair the Resort premises or equipment for damages resulting therefrom. Westin shall have the right to remove from the Resort within a reasonable period of time after the termination all Westin operations manuals, policy statements and the like, any other proprietary information of Westin, and all other written materials bearing the Westin Trademarks. Owner shall not copy, reproduce, or retain any of these materials.

4.5.8 As of the effective date of the termination, Westin shall remove all Westin Software from the Resort and shall disconnect the Resort from Westin’s reservations systems and their related software applications. Westin shall provide reasonable assistance to Owner in facilitating the orderly transfer of Owner’s records and data contained in Westin Software. To the extent necessary to facilitate the orderly transfer of Owner’s records and data and to the extent permitted by the terms of licenses with software producers. Owner and Westin shall execute a software license agreement substantially in the form attached to Exhibit C to provide for the use by Owner of appropriate Westin Software (excluding, in any event, the reservations system) for a reasonable period of time (to be mutually agreed to by the parties) following the effective date of the termination; provided, however, Owner’s payment obligations thereof shall be on a most-favored nations basis.

4.5.9 As of the effective date of termination, there shall be an apportionment of any prepaid insurance premiums in respect of insurance policies obtained by Westin under Sections 5.1 and 5.3 which Owner may in its sole discretion elect to retain.

4.6 Consequences of a Wrongful Termination by Owner. If this Agreement is wrongfully terminated by Owner, as determined by a final, nonappealable order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, the parties stipulate and agree that Westin’s damages shall include (a) the Present Value of the Expected Management Fees due and payable on the date of cessation of Westin’s management of the Resort, and (b) the amounts described in Sections 4.4.2 and 4.4.3

above, calculated using the date of cessation of Westin’s management of the Resort as the Termination Date.

4.7 Sale of the Resort. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the following provisions shall apply in connection with any Sale of the Resort:

4.7.1 Owner may, at its election, terminate this Agreement in connection with a Sale of the Resort. Any such termination by Owner shall be treated as a termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.4 above and, therefore, shall be subject to all of the provisions of Section 4.4.

4.7.2 Whether or not Owner elects to terminate this Agreement in connection with a Sale of the Resort, Westin may, by written notice to Owner, elect to terminate this Agreement in connection with a Sale of the Resort, subject to the following provisions of this Section 4.7.

(a) Any termination notice from Westin to Owner pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall be given (if at all) within thirty (30) days following Owner’s written notice to Westin that a Sale of the Resort will occur (although Owner’s failure to provide such written notice of a Sale of the Resort shall not preclude Westin from exercising its right to terminate this Agreement in connection with such Sale of the Resort). Any such termination notice shall specify the effective date of such termination, which shall be no earlier than the actual closing of the Sale of the Resort and no later than sixty (60) days following the date when Westin is notified in writing that such closing has occurred. The actual date of such termination shall be referred to in this Section 4.7 as the “Sale Termination Date.”

(b) Owner shall pay to Westin in connection with any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.7: (a) the Termination Fee (calculated in the manner provided in Section 4.4 as if the Sale Termination Date were the Termination Date described in Section 4.4), (b) any accrued but unpaid Management Fees outstanding as of the Sale Termination Date, and (c) all other amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Owner pursuant to Section 4.5 in connection with any termination of this Agreement.

4.7.3 Whether or not Owner or Westin elects to terminate this Agreement in connection with a Sale of the Resort, Owner shall pay to Westin, contemporaneously with the date of closing of any Sale of the Resort (the “Sale Closing Date”): (a) any accrued but unpaid Management Fees outstanding as of the Sale Closing Date; and (b) an amount equal to 10% of the amount (if any) by which the net sales price for the Resort exceeds Fifty-Nine Million Dollars ($59,000,000); provided, however, that the provisions of this clause (b): (i) shall automatically terminate if the net sales price for the Resort shall not exceed such amount; (ii) are personal to Owner and Westin and may not be assigned; and (iii) shall automatically expire upon the occurrence of the first Sale of the Resort. Westin shall have the right to submit a demand for payment of the foregoing amounts to any escrow holder facilitating the closing of the Sale of the Resort, and any closing of the Sale of the Resort that occurs without payment of all of the foregoing amounts shall be an Event of Default by Owner under this Agreement.

5. INSURANCE

5.1.1 Westin shall, at all times during the term of this Agreement, and at Owner’s cost and expense:

(a) maintain Commercial General Liability insurance, including products and completed operations, bodily injury and property damage liability, liquor liability, innkeepers’ liability, contractual liability, independent contractors’ liability, and personal and advertising injury liability against claims occurring upon, in, or about the Resort, or any elevator or escalator therein, and upon, in, or about the adjoining streets and passageways thereof, or otherwise, arising under this Agreement;

5.1.2 If at any time during the term of this Agreement any one or more of the coverages specified in Section 5.1.1 shall be unavailable to Westin through blanket policies, Owner shall place and maintain any such coverages, subject to the requirements of Section 5.4.

5.1.3 Westin agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the premium payments required to maintain the coverages specified in Section 5.1.1 are at not more than competitive market rates.

5.2 Special Conditions or Hazards. Owner shall disclose to Westin (and Westin shall disclose to Owner) the presence of any condition or hazard of which Owner (or Westin, as applicable) has actual knowledge that may create or contribute to any claims, damages, losses, or expenses not typically insured against by the coverages specified in Section 5.1.1. If any such condition or hazard requires removal, abatement, or any other special procedures, such special procedures shall be performed at Owner’s expense in compliance with all Legal Requirements. Conditions or hazards to which this Section 5.2 refers include: latent risks to health such as asbestos; silicosis; toxic or hazardous chemicals; and waste products; hazards to the environment such as underground storage tanks; and latent or patent toxic, nontoxic, abrasive, or irritant pollutants.

5.3.1 Subject to Section 5.3.3, Westin shall, at all times during the term of this Agreement, and at Owner’s cost and expense, keep the Resort (including, without limitation, the conference centers, entertainment and recreation facilities, golf course improvements, pro-shops, and other common areas), and its contents (including, without limitation, all furniture, fixtures, equipment, appliances, machinery, tools, golf carts and golf equipment) insured for the benefit of Owner and Westin, and in compliance with the requirements set forth in any Mortgage(s):

(a) against “all risks” of physical loss or damage for the full replacement value thereof, without exclusion for loss or damage by fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, civil commotion, aircraft, vehicles, smoke, vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, volcanic action, terrorist acts (to the extent such coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates, as mutually determined by Owner and Westin), breakage of glass, falling objects, weight of ice and snow or sleet, water damage, weather conditions, or collapse;

(b) against such other “all risk” perils, including earthquake and flood, commonly insured against by a Difference in Conditions insurance policy in such amounts as are obtainable from time to time, but in no event in amounts less than those required under the terms of the Mortgage(s);

(c) on equipment for the supply or control of heat, light, power, hot water, cold water, gas, refrigeration, or air conditioning against direct or consequential loss or damage, as customarily covered under a Boiler and Machinery policy with a comprehensive definition of insured equipment, in the amount of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or amounts as Owner or Westin may from time to time reasonably require;

(d) for such other risks (including loss to fine arts, accounts receivable, valuable papers and records, electronic media and records, and shipments in transit) that, at the time, are commonly insured against by owners of hotel premises in the Restricted Area, with due regard being or to be given to the then existing circumstances and to the type, construction, design, use, and occupancy of the Resort; and

(e) against Business Interruption and Extra Expense in a form no less comprehensive resulting from loss or damage from the hazards specified above, to owned or non-owned property which prevents normal-operations from continuing; such insurance shall be written on an Actual Loss Sustained basis in an amount equal to at least one (1) year’s expected net income before income tax (calculated according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), plus continuing normal operating expenses, including Westin’s Management Fee, Marketing Fee, Central Reservations Fee, salaries and related payroll items, and all other Reimbursable Expenses, that necessarily continue, notwithstanding the business interruption; the insurance shall also provide Extended Period of Indemnity provisions for payment of loss until normal operations resume, but in any event for a period of not less than one hundred eighty (180) days after business operations have resumed.

5.3.2 “Full replacement value,” as used herein, means the cost of repairing, replacing, or reinstating, including demolishing, any item of property, with materials of like kind

and quality in compliance with, and without, an exclusion pertaining to application of, any law or building ordinance regulating repair or construction at the time of loss, and without deduction for physical, accounting, or any other depreciation, in an amount sufficient to meet the requirements of any applicable co-insurance clause and to prevent Owner from being a co-insurer.

5.3.3 If Westin is unable to place the insurance referred to in Section 5.3.1, at premiums and otherwise on terms and conditions (including amounts of coverage and deductibles) at least as advantageous to Owner as the premiums and other terms and conditions available to Owner under blanket insurance policies available to Owner from time to time, then Owner may arrange for such insurance through its blanket policies at Owner’s cost and expense with such payment being made from Resort operations. If Owner desires to place its own insurance pursuant to this Section 5.3.3, Owner shall so notify Westin in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to the scheduled effective date of such insurance.

5.4 Parties Insured and Amounts of Coverage. The carriers of all insurance policies provided by Owner under this Agreement shall be subject to Westin’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All insurance policies provided for in this Article 5 shall include:

As soon as practicable prior to the expiration date of each such policy, the party obtaining such insurance shall provide the other party with binders evidencing renewal of existing or acquisition of new coverages. Certified copies-of renewed or new policies or certificates of insurance shall be provided by the party obtaining insurance coverage under this Article 5 to the other party as soon as practicable after renewed or new coverages become effective.

5.5.2 On request, each party shall furnish the other with a schedule of insurance obtained under this Article 5 listing the policy numbers of the insurance obtained the names of the companies issuing such policies, the names of the parties insured, the amounts of coverage, the expiration date or dates of such policies, and the risks covered thereby.

5.6 Reports by Westin. Westin shall promptly:

5.6.1 cause to be investigated all accidents and claims for damage relating to the operation and maintenance of the Resort, as they become known to Westin, and shall report to Owner in writing any such incident that is material;

5.7 Review of Insurance. All insurance policy limits provided under this Article 5 shall be reviewed by the parties every two (2) years following the Effective Date, or sooner if reasonably requested by Westin or Owner, to determine the suitability of such insurance limits in view of exposures reasonably anticipated over the ensuing two (2) years. Owner and Westin hereby acknowledge that changing practices in the insurance industry and changes in the local law and custom may necessitate additions or deletions to types or amounts of coverage during the term of this Agreement. Owner and Westin agree to comply with any other insurance requirements in order to protect the Resort and the respective interests of Owner and Westin.

6. MORTGAGES

6.1 Owner’s Right to Mortgage.

6.1.1 In addition to the GTA Mortgage, Owner shall have the right to encumber all of the assets that comprise the Resort, any part thereof, or any interest therein, including, without limitation, the real estate on which the Resort is to be constructed, the Resort building and all improvements thereto, all receivables relating to the Resort (provided that any Mortgagee shall recognize Westin’s right to collect and apply such receivables in accordance with this Agreement) and all FF&E and hotel equipment and operating supplies placed in or used in connection with the operation of the Resort as contemplated in any Mortgage that is entered into

by Owner, and to assign to any Mortgagee as collateral security for any loan secured by the Mortgage, all of Owner’s right, title, and interest in and to this Agreement; provided, however, that any such Mortgage must meet the requirements and limitations set forth in this Section 6.1 and in Section 6.3 of this Agreement. Owner shall not grant a Mortgage or security interest of any type in, or name a Mortgagee as insured with respect to, or assign before or after a loss any Business Interruption Insurance coverage, proceeds or policy covering the Resort or its operations, except any Business Interruption Insurance proceeds specifically attributable to the payment of principal, interest or other amounts due and payable to the Mortgagee under the Mortgage in question, and provided that if, at the time of the disbursement of any Business Interruption Insurance proceeds there are any sums due and payable to any Mortgagee (excluding payment obligations accelerated solely by the occurrence of the casualty giving rise to such proceeds), then any such Business Interruption Insurance shall be applied first to such outstanding amounts payable to the Mortgagee. Owner shall provide Westin with a true and complete copy of any Mortgage and related documents within thirty (30) days of the signing of such documents by all parties thereto.

6.1.2 On reasonable advance notice from a Mortgagee, Westin shall accord to such person or entity and its agents the right to enter on any part of the Resort at any reasonable time for the purposes of examining, inspecting or making extracts from the books of account and financial records of the Resort; provided, however, that any expenses incurred in the Resort’s name in connection with such activities shall be Operating Expenses of the Resort.

6.1.3 Owner represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, there are no Mortgages encumbering all or any part of the real and personal property that comprise the Resort or upon which the Resort is operated, other than the GTA Mortgage.

6.1.4 Westin agrees that, upon request of Owner, Westin shall execute a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “SNDA”).

6.2 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Westin is not in default under this Agreement, Westin shall be entitled to enjoy, occupy, and manage the Resort throughout the term of this Agreement free from interference or ejection by Owner, any Mortgagee, any ground lessor, or any other entity or individual claiming under, through, or by right of Owner. In furtherance of the foregoing, Owner shall pay and discharge any charge, assessment or imposition against the Resort and, at its sole expense, prosecute all actions necessary to assure Westin’s receipt of the benefits of this Agreement for the full term hereof and to assure Westin’s quiet and uninterrupted management of the Resort. In addition, at Westin’s written request, Owner shall request from any existing and future Mortgagees and lessors an agreement in form and content reasonably acceptable to Owner, Westin and any Mortgagees and lessors providing nondisturbance protection (a “Nondisturbance Agreement”), but Owner shall not be required to incur any expense, other than de minimis expenses, in requesting such an agreement and Owner’s inability to obtain such an agreement shall not constitute a default by Owner under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall not enter into any ground lease or Mortgage unless (x) Owner pays to Westin an amount equal to the then-applicable Termination Fee on or before the effective date of such ground lease or Mortgage (in which event, no Termination Fee shall thereafter be payable to Westin hereunder), or (y) the lessor or Mortgagee executes an agreement

in form and content reasonably acceptable to Westin which includes the agreement of such Mortgagee or lessor to assume the obligations of Owner hereunder with respect to the Termination Fee in the event of a termination of Owner’s interest in the Resort whether by foreclosure or lease termination as applicable.

6.3 Estoppel Certificates. On request at any time and from time to time during the term of this Agreement. Westin shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Owner or any Mortgagee within thirty (30) days following Westin’s receipt of written request therefor, a certificate: (i) certifying that this Agreement has not been modified and is in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and specifying the modifications); (ii) stating whether, to the best knowledge of the signatory of such certificate, any default exists, including any Event of Default, and if so, specifying each default of which the signatory may have knowledge; and (iii) providing any additional information reasonably requested by Owner or a Mortgagee; provided, however, that in no event shall Westin be required to agree to any modifications or waivers with respect to this Agreement or other agreements in effect between the parties. On similar notice, Westin shall be entitled to a similar certificate from Owner, any Mortgagee (with respect to any Mortgage), or any ground lessor (with respect to any ground lease).

7. DESTRUCTION; TAKING

7.1 Owner To Restore After Insured Casualty. Subject to Section 7.2, if the whole or any part of the real or personal property used in the operation of the Resort is damaged or destroyed by a peril or event for which this Agreement requires insurance coverage and for which property damage insurance is available, then Owner shall repair, restore, replace or rebuild the Resort as nearly as is reasonably possible to the value, condition and character of the Resort immediately prior to the occurrence of the damage or destruction (“Casualty Restoration”). Westin shall cooperate with Owner in obtaining all property damage insurance proceeds payable with respect to the Casualty Restoration so that the same shall be available to Owner as the Casualty Restoration progresses. Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts at no material cost to Owner to ensure that any applicable Mortgage or Mortgages provide that, subject to reasonable restrictions, all insurance proceeds covering damage or destruction to any real or personal property used in the operation of the Resort shall be available for and may be used for the funding of the Casualty Restoration.

7.2 Termination After Substantial Insured Casualty. If the major food and beverage facilities in the Resort are rendered substantially unusable for their intended use during the last eighteen (18) months of the term of this Agreement, or if the percentage of the guest rooms in the Resort referred to in column (a) below is rendered unsuitable for use by guests as a result of any damage or destruction to the whole or any part of the Resort when the term of this Agreement, has no more than the number of years to run that is set forth in column (b) below:

(a)		(b)
50%		five
40%		four
30%		three
20%		two
10%		one

then Owner may terminate this Agreement within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the damage or destruction by giving notice to Westin, irrespective of the insurance coverage applicable to the damage or destruction. Any such termination shall be effective on the date specified in Owner’s termination notice, which shall be at least (30) days after the delivery of such notice.

7.3 Substantial Uninsured Casualty - Owner’s Option To Terminate or Restore. If the whole or any part of the Resort is damaged or destroyed by any peril or event for which insurance coverage was not required by this Agreement, or by any peril or event for which property damage insurance is unavailable, and the cost of the Casualty Restoration with respect thereto exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the replacement value of the Resort as of the date of the casualty as determined by an independent licensed architect selected by the parties, then Owner may terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Westin within thirty (30) days after the report is delivered by such independent licensed architect; otherwise, Owner shall complete a Casualty Restoration. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be effective on the date specified in Owner’s termination notice, which shall be at least thirty (30) days after delivery of the termination notice.

7.4 Commencement and Completion of Casualty Restoration. Unless Owner is entitled to terminate this Agreement under Sections 7.2 or 7.3, Owner shall commence the Casualty Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of the damage or destruction and shall complete the work with diligence. If a right of termination does exist, the obligation to commence the Casualty Restoration shall be delayed until the earlier of the giving of the applicable notice of termination (in which event the obligation shall not become operative) or the expiration of the applicable notice period (in which event the obligation to commence and complete the Casualty Restoration as provided in this Section 7.4 shall become operative immediately).

7.5 Permanent Taking.

7.5.1 Upon a Taking of either the fee interest in, or a perpetual easement on, all or a part of the Resort, if Owner’s architect reasonably determines that the part not so taken may not be repaired, restored, replaced or rebuilt so as to constitute a first-class golf resort facility as contemplated by this Agreement, then this Agreement shall terminate as of the Date of Taking.

7.5.2 Upon a Taking of either the fee interest in, or a perpetual easement on, less than all of the Resort, and if this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with Section 7.5.1, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the remainder of the Resort, and the awards or other proceeds on account of the Taking (including any interest included or paid with respect to such awards or proceeds) shall be retained by Owner and applied

as necessary to the restoration of the Resort or to the payment of any amounts required to be paid to any Mortgagee in connection with such Taking; provided that any portion of such awards or proceeds in excess of the amount (if any) necessary to restore the Resort or required to be paid to a Mortgagee in connection with such Taking shall not be included in Gross Operating Revenue or Incentive Income and shall be paid directly to Owner. Owner shall repair, restore, replace, or rebuild the remainder of the Resort as nearly as possible to its value, condition, and character immediately prior to the Taking. Owner shall commence the work as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Date of Taking and shall complete the same with reasonable diligence. The costs of any such work in excess of the award or proceeds retained by Owner in connection with such Taking, if any, shall constitute Capital Expenditures.

7.6 Taking for Temporary Use.

7.6.1 Subject to Section 7.6.2, upon a Taking of all or part of the Resort for temporary use, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the awards or other proceeds on account of the Taking (including any interest included or paid with respect to such awards or proceeds) shall be retained by Owner and applied as necessary to the restoration of the Resort or to the payment of any amounts required to be paid to any Mortgagee in connection with such Taking; provided that any portion of such awards or proceeds in excess of the amount (if any) necessary to restore the Resort or required to be paid to a Mortgagee in connection with such Taking shall not be included in Gross Operating Revenue or Incentive Income and shall be paid directly to Owner. When and if, during the term of this Agreement, the period of temporary use ceases, Owner shall make all such restoration, repairs and alterations as are necessary to restore the Resort to its condition prior to the Taking for temporary use. Owner shall commence such restoration, repairs, and alterations as soon as reasonably practicable and shall complete the same with diligence.

7.6.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.6.1, if a Taking of the nature described in Section 7.6.1 occurs and if (a) Owner’s architect reasonably determines that the part of the Resort not taken may not be repaired, restored, replaced or rebuilt so as to constitute a first-class golf resort as contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) the taking continues in effect for a period longer than twelve (12) months, then either Westin or Owner shall, in its sole discretion, be entitled to terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the other party.

7.7 Effect of Termination.

7.7.1 If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Sections 7.2, 7.3, 7.5 or 7.6, Owner and Westin shall comply with Section 4.5 hereof and all expenses reasonably and actually incurred as a result of termination of this Agreement or as a result of the cessation of Resort operations shall be for the sole account of Owner.

7.7.2 If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Sections 7.5 or 7.6, the aggregate of the awards or other proceeds of the Taking (including any interest included in or paid with respect to such awards or proceeds) shall be paid to Owner.

7.7.3 Upon receipt by Westin of the applicable amounts set forth above (and in Section 7.7.4 below), neither Owner nor Westin shall have any further rights against the other under this Agreement (except in connection with any provisions of this Agreement that by their terms survive a termination of this Agreement).

7.7.4 In the event this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Sections 7.2, 7.5 or 7.6, Owner shall promptly pay to Westin the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 4.4.2 hereof.

8. BUSINESS INTERRUPTION

8.1 Business Interruption.

8.1.1 If the Resort suffers damage or loss that results in an interruption in the operations of the Resort, Owner shall nevertheless be obligated to pay to Westin all amounts that would be due to Westin under this Agreement had such damage or loss not occurred, including the Management Fee, the Marketing Fee, the Central Reservations Fee and all Reimbursable Expenses, for the period of the business interruption provided, however, that if Owner has approved the placement of the Resort’s Business Interruption Insurance with Westin’s insurance program, Owner’s obligation to pay the aforementioned amounts shall be limited to the Business Interruption Insurance proceeds received by Owner that are specifically attributable to such amounts. In the event of such a business interruption, the Management Fee, the Marketing Fee and the Central Reservations Fee shall be calculated based on projections of the Gross Operating Revenue and Incentive Income that Owner and Westin reasonably agree in writing would have been generated had the loss or damage not occurred. The projections regarding Gross Operating Revenue and Incentive Income shall be derived from then-accepted practices in the hotel and insurance industries for such matters, with due consideration given to the approved Operating Plan and Budget for the Operating Year in which the loss occurred and any financial projections for the Resort most recently prepared by Westin prior to the loss or damage.

8.1.2 If the Resort suffers damage or loss that results in an interruption in the operation of the Resort, Owner shall nevertheless be obligated to pay all reasonable and actually incurred expenses of operating and maintaining the Resort (at the level which is reasonably determined by Owner and Westin to be practicable given the damage or loss that has occurred) regardless of whether there are available to Owner any Business Interruption Insurance proceeds to cover such amounts, and Owner shall be responsible for depositing all amounts necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Resort in the Operating Account(s) in accordance with Section 3.5.3 during the period of the business interruption.

8.2 Proceeds of Business Interruption Insurance.

8.2.1 If the business of the Resort is interrupted by any event or peril covered by Business Interruption Insurance, the proceeds of any such insurance shall be allocated between Owner and Westin as their interests may appear, and Westin shall share in any proceeds (regardless of whether this Agreement has been terminated based on the event or peril in question) to the extent that the proceeds represent the Management Fee, the Marketing Fee, the Central Reservation Fee or Reimbursable Expenses payable by Owner to Westin under this

Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that Westin has a separate, independent insurable interest in the receipt of the Management, Marketing and Central Reservations Fees and in the receipt of any Reimbursable Expenses, which insurable interest will exist throughout the covered period of any business interruption, regardless of whether this Agreement may be earlier terminated as a result thereof. Any amounts received by Westin in accordance with this Section 8.2 shall be applied against and shall accordingly reduce the applicable amounts that Owner would otherwise be required to pay to Westin in accordance with Section 7.7.1 or 7.7.2.

8.2.2 Owner shall, immediately upon receipt, deposit any and all proceeds of Business Interruption Insurance received by Owner in the Operating Account(s) for the timely and full payment of Operating Expenses, or, to the extent the outstanding Operating Expenses have been timely paid in full, at Westin’s option, otherwise make any such proceeds immediately available to Westin, for use in payment of the Management Fee, the Marketing Fee, the Central Reservations Fee and all Reimbursable Expenses.

9. ASSIGNMENTS

9.1 Intentionally deleted.

9.2 Assignment by Westin. So long as no Event of Default attributable to Westin has occurred and remains uncured, Westin shall have the right, without Owner’s consent, to assign all or a portion of its interest in this Agreement to: (i) any Affiliate or Affiliates of Westin capable of performing the assigned obligations in accordance with the Operating Standard; (ii) any successor of Westin that may result from any merger, consolidation or reorganization; provided, however, that subject to the provisions of Section 11.3, any such successor or assignee shall be required to manage and operate the Resort under the “Westin” name and brand unless Owner otherwise consents in writing in its sole discretion; or (iii) any person or entity not generally recognized in the community as being of ill repute and that acquires all or substantially all of the business and assets of Westin’s hotel management operations and continues the hotel management business of Westin using the Westin Personnel and the Westin Trademarks; provided, however, that subject to the provisions of Section 11.3, any such successor or assignee shall be required to manage and operate the Resort under the “Westin” name and brand unless Owner otherwise consents in writing in its sole discretion. The assignee must assume and agree to be bound by, and be capable of performing, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including the provisions relating to satisfaction of the Operating Standard). As a condition to the effectiveness of any such assignment, Westin shall deliver to Owner an executed counterpart of the instrument of assignment and assumption of rights and obligations. Any assignment by Westin in violation of the terms of this Section 9.2 shall be void and of no force or effect and shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement by Westin governed by the terms of Article 4.

9.3 Assignment by Owner. Notwithstanding, and without limitation of, Owner’s obligation to make certain payments to Westin pursuant to Section 4.7.2, so long as no Event of Default attributable to Owner has occurred and remains uncured, Owner shall have the right to (i) assign its entire interest in this Agreement, together with the transfer of (but not independent of) all or substantially all of its ownership interest in the Resort or (ii) transfer equity ownership interests to Owner to, in either event, an assignee/transferee that:

9.3.1 has been reasonably approved by Westin and has assumed and agreed to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement; or

9.3.2 meets the following criteria:

(a) has financial resources sufficient to enable the transferee to satisfy the obligations of Owner under this Agreement;

(b) does not have (and is not affiliated with a person or entity that has) as one of its businesses the management of a chain of more than fifty (50) three to four star transient lodging facilities;

(d) has assumed and agreed to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.

Any transfer in any manner by Owner of all or any portion of its ownership interest in the Resort without a permissible assignment of its interest in this Agreement concurrently therewith (in accordance with this Section 9.3) shall be a material breach of this Agreement governed by the terms of Article 4.

9.4 Effect of Permitted Assignments. A consent to any particular assignment shall not be deemed to be a consent to any other assignment or waiver of the requirement that consent be obtained in the case of any other assignment. Upon any such permitted assignment by Owner or Westin (except in the case of an assignment by Westin pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9.2 above) the assigning party shall be relieved of all liabilities and obligations under this Agreement accruing after the effective date of such assignment. No such assignment shall relieve the assigning party from its liabilities or obligations under this Agreement accruing prior to the effective date of the assignment. Any assignee shall succeed to and assume responsibility for all obligations and liabilities including vacation, sick leave, severance, and other benefits based on length of service accrued for Resort Personnel as of the effective date of the assignment.

9.5 Public Offering and Private Placement Exception. Neither any transfers of publicly traded stock nor any public offering of equity ownership interests (whether partnership interests, corporate stock or otherwise) in either party or by a parent company or other owner of either party shall be deemed to be an “assignment” or “transfer” under this Article 9.

9.6 Liquidating Trust Exception. Transfers of any interests or assets of Owner or any of its Affiliates into a liquidating trust, the beneficiaries of which are substantially similar to the shareholders of the Owner or GTA immediately prior to the creation of such liquidating trust and which has financial resources substantially equivalent to that of the Owner or GTA immediately prior to the effectiveness of such transfer, shall not be deemed to be a “Sale of the Resort”, an “assignment” or a “transfer” under this Article 9, and therefore will not trigger an obligation of Owner or any Affiliate thereof to make payments pursuant to Section 4.7.2.

10. DISPUTES

10.1 Alternative Dispute Resolution Required. The parties shall resolve any Dispute through a two-step dispute resolution process administered by J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. or its successors (“JAMS”). If, at the time a Dispute arises JAMS does not exist or is unable to administer the resolution of the Dispute in accordance with the terms of this Article 10, then the dispute resolution process will be administered, in accordance with the terms of this Article 10, United States Arbitration and Mediation or its successors (“USA&M”). If USA&M is similarly unavailable or unable to administer the dispute resolution process and the parties cannot agree on the identity of a substitute service provider, then the complaining party must petition to a state or federal court in Pinellas County, Florida to identify a substitute service provider, and the substitute service provider identified by such Court will administer the dispute resolution process in accordance with the terms of this Article 10.

10.1.1 The parties shall first attempt to settle the Dispute by participating in at least ten (10) hours of mediation at the offices of JAMS closest to Tampa, Florida. The complaining party must notify the other party that a Dispute exists and then contact JAMS to schedule the mediation conference. The mediator will then be selected in accordance with the rules of JAMS, but the mediator must have experience in the hospitality and golf industries and must not have any conflict of interest. The mediation will be a non-binding conference between the parties conducted in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of JAMS. Neither party may initiate arbitration proceedings until the mediation is complete. Any mediation will be considered complete: (i) if the parties enter into an agreement to resolve the Dispute; (ii) with respect to the party submitting the Dispute to mediation, if the other party fails to appear at or participate in a reasonably scheduled mediation conference; or (iii) if the Dispute is not resolved within five (5) days after the mediation is completed.

10.1.2 If any Dispute refrains between the parties after the mediation is complete, the parties shall submit the Dispute to final and binding arbitration (without appeal or review), administered by JAMS under its then-current rules. The arbitrator must have experience in the hospitality industry and golf industries and must not have any conflict of interest.

10.1.3 Arbitration must be initiated within one (1) year from the date on which the Dispute giving rise to the arbitration arose, and any party who fails to commence an arbitration within such one-year period shall be deemed to have waived any of its affirmative rights and claims in connection with the Dispute and shall be barred from asserting such rights and claims at any time thereafter. An arbitration shall be deemed commenced by a party when the party sends a notice to JAMS, with a copy of the notice to the other party, identifying the Dispute and requesting arbitration.

10.2 Compensation of Mediator or Arbitrator. Subject to the prevailing party’s right to recover fees and costs pursuant to Section 10.4, the parties agree to share equally the costs, including fees, of any mediator or arbitrator (referred to in this Article 10 as a “neutral”) selected or appointed under this Article 10. As soon as practicable after selection of the neutral, the neutral or the neutral’s designated representative shall determine a reasonable estimate of the neutral’s anticipated fees and costs, and send a statement to each party setting forth that party’s

equal share of the fees and costs. Each party shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of the statement, deposit the required sum with the neutral.

10.3 Venue, Jurisdiction, and Jury Waiver. The venue of any mediation, arbitration or judicial proceedings shall be in Tampa, Florida unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Tampa, Florida, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Each party waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, trial by jury of all Disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

10.4 Expenses. The prevailing party in any arbitration, suit or other action arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be entitled to recover its reasonable fees, costs, and expenses relating to the action or the Dispute, including reasonable judicial and extra judicial attorneys’ fees, expenses, and disbursements, and fees, costs, and expenses relating to any mediation or appeal.

10.5 Survival and Severance. The provisions of this Article 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason, regardless of whether a Dispute arises before or after termination of this Agreement, and regardless of whether the related arbitration proceedings occur before or after termination of this Agreement. If any part of this Article 10 is held to be unenforceable, it shall be severed and shall not affect either the duties to mediate or arbitrate or any other part of this Article 10.

11. TRADEMARKS AND OTHER PROPRIETARY MATERIALS

11.1 Ownership of Westin Trademarks. Owner acknowledges and agrees that Westin and its Affiliates are and shall remain the owners of the trademarks, trade name, service marks, and copyrights associated with the name WESTIN or the guest recognition program, and the related marks that include the word WESTIN or STARWOOD, including WESTIN HOTELS & RESORTS, WESTIN HOTELS, HEAVENLY BED, HEAVENLY BATH, WESTIN RESORTS, STARWOOD PREFERRED GUEST, the mark SERVICE EXPRESS, and the Westin and Starwood corporate logos or symbols, together with the right to use any and all slogans, derivations, trade secrets, know-how, and trade dress, and all other proprietary rights associated with such names, marks and slogans (the “Westin Trademarks”). Owner agrees not to contest the rights of Westin and its Affiliates in respect of the Westin Trademarks, including any additions or improvements to the Westin Trademarks by whomever developed.

11.2 Use of Westin Trademarks. As part of the management services to be provided under the terms of this Agreement, Westin shall use the Westin Trademarks as it deems appropriate and advisable in operating the Resort, subject to the following terms and to the terms of Section 11.3 below:

11.2.1 Owner may not itself use the Westin Trademarks, except as expressly provided in this Agreement (or otherwise with Westin’s express consent) or apply for international, United States federal, or state or territorial registration of any rights in the Westin Trademarks. Without Westin’s prior consent, Owner may not use any of the Westin Trademarks as all or part of its legal name or any other trade or assumed name under which Owner does

business, and Owner shall disclose in any trade or assumed name filing that the Resort is independently managed and that Owner has no ownership rights in the Westin Trademarks. Except as provided in Section 11.3, no other letter, word, design, symbol or other matter of any kind shall be superimposed on, associated with, or shown in such proximity to the Trademarks so as-to alter or dilute them, and Owner shall not combine any of the Trademarks with any other trademark service mark or logo.

11.2.2 Westin retains the sole right and discretion to:

(a) set reasonable minimum operating standards associated with the Westin Trademarks for the Resort which must be met as a condition of continued association with “Westin Hotels & Resorts”;

(b) determine how and on what materials the Westin Trademarks may be used;

(c) require the signing of commercially reasonable secrecy agreements by Resort Personnel and third parties to protect the confidentiality and the proprietary nature of the Westin Trademarks;

(d) set standards for and designate approved third-party suppliers of products bearing any of the Westin Trademarks, and receive third-party commissions, fees, or royalty payments from field of use licenses; and

(e) handle disputes and control actual or threatened litigation with third parties relating to any part of the Westin Trademarks.

11.3 Name of Resort. The Resort shall be operated by Westin under the name “The Westin Innisbrook Golf Resort.” If Westin changes its corporate name or the name used in the system-wide identification of Westin, the name “Westin” as part of the Resort name may be changed, at Westin’s expense, without Owner’s consent to reflect the change in the corporate name or the change in the system-wide identification; provided that the foregoing shall not permit Westin to change the name of the Resort in a manner that identifies the Resort as part of any “second class” brand of hotels and resorts or to a name that is not in keeping with the Operating Standard. The name “Westin” and any replacement or substitute name constitutes a distinctive hotel service mark for use in connection with the Resort. The words used in conjunction with “Westin,” but not “Westin” or other Westin Trademarks in the service mark, are presently and shall continue to be the property of Owner on termination of this Agreement.

11.4 Obligations of Owner.

11.4.1 Without first obtaining Westin’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Owner shall not publish any Resort advertising materials or implement any Resort advertising or promotional programs of its own.

11.4.2 Owner shall notify Westin as soon as reasonably practicable, of any litigation filed or threatened against Owner involving the Westin Trademarks, as well as any

apparent third-party infringement of the Westin Trademarks of which Owner becomes aware and, at Westin’s expense, shall reasonably cooperate with Westin on such matters.

12. MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Limitation on Scope of Westin’s Services.

12.1.1 In connection with any insurance coverages required or obtained under this Agreement, neither Westin nor any insurance broker Westin may retain makes any warranty or representation regarding the advisability, nature or extent of the insurance coverages provided by Westin for the benefit of Owner or any other coverages that Owner should consider for the protection of the Resort and its operations. Owner agrees to rely exclusively on its own insurance advisors with respect to all insurance matters.

12.1.2 Any and all financial projections and budgets prepared by Westin under this Agreement, including the annual Operating Plan and Budget, are intended to assist Owner in operating the Resort, but are not to be relied upon by Owner or any third party as to the accuracy of the information contained therein or the results predicted. Westin does not guarantee the accuracy of the information contained in such projections and budgets, nor does it guarantee the results such projections and budgets predict, and Owner acknowledges that Westin shall not be held responsible by Owner or any third party for any divergence between such projections and budgets and actual operating results achieved, except in the event of a breach under this Agreement (provided that the foregoing shall not limit Owner’s right to terminate for failure to satisfy the Performance Test as provided in Section 4.3).

12.1.3 Subject to the provisions of Section 12.10 below, Owner hereby unconditionally releases Westin and their officers, directors, employees, agents, and assigns from any and all claims, liabilities, and obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether known, unknown, fixed, contingent, or otherwise, arising from or related to the matters specified in Sections 12.1.1 and 12.1.2, namely: (i) the adequacy of insurance coverages with respect to the Resort; and (ii) the accuracy or achievement of projections and budgets with respect to the Resort.

12.2 Use of Affiliates by Westin. In fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement, Westin may from time to time use the services of an Affiliate (provided that such Affiliate has the capability to perform such services in accordance with the Operating Standard and is generally providing such services to other Westin Managed Hotels). If an Affiliate performs services Westin is required to provide under this Agreement, Westin shall be ultimately responsible to Owner for the Affiliate’s performance, and Owner shall not pay more for the Affiliate’s services and expenses than Westin would have been entitled to receive under this Agreement had Westin performed the services. If an Affiliate otherwise performs services for or provides goods to the Resort, such goods or services shall be supplied at prices and on terms at least as favorable to the Resort as generally available in the relevant market.

12.3 The Committee.

12.3.1 A policy committee (the “Committee”) shall be established to coordinate the performance by Owner and Westin of their respective obligations under this Agreement so

that the operation and promotion of the Resort may be conducted in an efficient manner and under the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Owner and Westin shall each appoint three (3) representatives (“Representatives”) to serve on the Committee, with the persons whose names are listed on Exhibit J attached hereto being the persons who are to serve as the initial Representatives. At all times, at least one of Westin’s Representatives shall be a designee of the Golf Manager. Either party may, at any time and from time to time, on notice to the other party, name an alternate for one or more meetings or remove any of its Representatives and appoint a successor or successors. With respect to those matters over which either party or both parties are granted approval rights under this Agreement, each Representative and each designated alternate shall have the authority to act for and bind his or her principal in giving or withholding such approval.

12.3.2 The Committee shall hold periodic meetings not less frequently than quarterly on not less than ten (10) days’ notice from either party to the other (or more frequently as circumstances may make necessary or desirable and which may include, at Owner’s request, telephonic bi-weekly meetings). Meetings shall be held at the Resort or in any other city agreeable to both parties as set forth in the notice. No more than two (2) of the Representatives of each party shall be required to attend any meeting. If the Committee so chooses, it may appoint a secretary to keep minutes of its meetings, and the minutes shall be distributed to all Representatives within thirty (30) days after each meeting.

12.3.3 The purpose of the Committee meetings is to provide Westin and Owner with a forum in which to discuss any aspect of the Resort’s operations. Westin agrees to discuss with Owner, among other topics, Westin’s selection of the Senior Executive Personnel of the Resort and key department managers; review of personnel deployment at the Resort (i.e., allocation of human resources to best promote the Resort’s business plan); policies that materially affect Resort Personnel; incentive plan results and modifications thereto; special projects recommended by Westin, Owner or Golf Manager; the annual Operating Plan and Budget and the periodic updates thereto prepared by Westin; the content and implementation of the marketing program for the Resort (as proposed and implemented by Westin from time to time), including the coordination of Westin’s marketing program with the specific marketing of the Golf Facility and evaluation of the extent to which funds from the Resort should be specifically earmarked for golf-oriented marketing; sales and booking models for the Resort (including issues relating to the provision of incentives to Resort guests to book tee times at the Golf Facility); consideration of any modification or supplementation that may be advisable with respect to the financial reports to be prepared by Westin; any proposed or planned Capital Improvements, and policies and practices relating to the exerciseby any person or entity of rights under the National Labor Relations Act or any applicable labor laws in relation to the Resort (including union organization, recognition and withdrawal of recognition, union elections, contract negotiation on a single-employer or mufti-employer basis, grievances, unfair labor practice charges, strikes and lockouts). In making decisions in connection with its operation of the Resort pursuant to this Agreement, Westin shall consider in good faith Owner’s views (as expressed during Committee meetings or during other discussions between Owner and Westin).

12.4 Owner’s Compliance With Legal Requirements. Owner and Westin shall, as an Operating Expense of the Resort, jointly endeavor to ensure that the business being conducted at the Resort is in full compliance with all Legal Requirements. Without limiting the generality

of the foregoing, Owner shall provide adequate funds to enable Westin to take the actions necessary to comply with Legal Requirements.

12.5 Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes relating to the performance or interpretation of any term of this Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the laws of Florida applicable to contracts to be performed entirely within that jurisdiction.

12.6 Waivers, Modifications, Remedies. No failure or delay by a party to insist on the strict performance of any term of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy consequent on a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any breach or any subsequent breach of such term. Neither this Agreement nor any of its terms may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge, or termination is sought. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Agreement, but each and every term of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof. The remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of the remedies provided by law or in equity.

12.7 Severability of Provisions. If a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator determines that any term of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable to any extent under applicable law, the remainder of this Agreement (and the application of this Agreement to other circumstances) shall not be affected thereby, and each remaining term shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12.9 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of Articles 6 and 9, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding on the successors and assigns of the parties, and the terms “Owner” and “Westin” as used in this Agreement shall include all permitted successors and assigns of the original parties.

12.10 Indemnification.

12.10.1 Subject to Sections 12.10.2. and 12.10.3 below, Owner shall indemnify, defend, and hold Westin and its officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions (including enforcement proceedings initiated by any government agency), penalties, suits, and liabilities (including the cost of defense, settlement, appeal, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, but excluding consequential damages), which they or any of them may have alleged against them, incur, become responsible for, or pay out for any reason including: the death of or personal or bodily injury to any person; destruction or damage to any property; contamination of or any adverse effects on the environment; breach of any express contract; any violation of governmental laws, regulations, orders or the like; any claim the basis for which is a defect in the design or construction of the Resort; or any of the matters specified in Sections 5.2, 12.1.1, or 12.1.2; caused in whole or in part by, arising out of, or related to: (i) the ownership or operation of the

Resort after the Effective Date, including the employment and discharge of Resort Personnel and matters pertaining to the accessibility of the Resort to persons with disabilities; (ii) Owner’s breach of any provision of this Agreement; (iii) any breach by Owner of any legal, contractual, or other duties; (iv) any violation of governmental laws, regulations, orders or the like with respect to the Resort occurring on or after the Effective Date; or (v) acts or omissions of Westin or its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or consultants, in the performance of their services pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with winding up such services upon termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall Owner’s indemnification obligations under this Section 12.10.1 extend to acts of fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct on the part of Westin or its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants or assigns.

12.10.2 Subject to Section 12.10.3 below, Westin shall indemnify, defend, and hold Owner and its officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions (including enforcement proceedings initiated by any government agency), penalties, suits, and liabilities (including the cost of defense, settlement, appeal, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, but excluding consequential damages), which they or any of them may have alleged against them, incur, become responsible for, or pay out for any reason, to the extent such matters are caused by any acts of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by Westin or its officers, directors, employees, agents or consultants in the performance of services under this Agreement or in connection with winding up such services upon termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall Westin’s indemnification obligations under this Section 12.10.2 extend to acts of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Owner or its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants or assigns.

12.10.3 The obligations set forth in this Section 12.10 shall survive any termination of this Agreement for the statutory period of the applicable claim; provided, however, Westin shall be indemnified and held harmless by Owner against any claim asserted against Westin by a third-party unaffiliated with Westin for which Westin has indemnification protection hereunder, notwithstanding the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, subject to all applicable defenses, including, without limitation, a defense that the applicable statute of limitations has expired. For purposes of determining the scope of the indemnification obligations of each party under this Section 12.10, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that errors in judgment made reasonably and in good faith by Westin or its Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or consultants in the management of the Resort (including, in connection with the employment or discharge of Resort Personnel) shall not be deemed to constitute gross negligence within the meaning of this Section 12.10 unless such errors in judgment (i) are material to the business of the Resort, (ii) are repeated after written notice to Westin bringing the error in judgment to Westin’s attention, and (iii) result in debts or liabilities being incurred that would not normally be incurred in the ordinary course of business of a project similar to the Resort. Moreover, for purposes of determining the scope of the indemnification obligations of each party under this Section 12.10, the acts and omissions of Resort Personnel shall not be imputed to Westin or be the subject of any indemnification obligation of Westin under this Agreement unless (x) such acts and omissions are committed by the Senior Executive Personnel, or (y) Westin or the Senior Executive Personnel acted with gross

negligence in employing, training, supervising or continuing the employment of the individual committing such acts or omissions.

In no event shall (x) the settlement by either party in good faith of any claim brought by a third party (including, without limitation, any Resort Personnel) in connection with the ownership or operation of the Resort be deemed to create any presumption of the validity of the claim or (y) any such settlement be deemed to create any presumption that the acts or omissions giving rise to such claim constituted fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct on the part of Westin or its officers, directors, employees, agents or consultants.

12.11 Limitation on Pledging Owner’s Credit. Except as is set forth in an Operating Plan and Budget which has been approved by Owner, and as is necessary or advisable for the purchase of goods and services in the ordinary course of business in the operation of the Resort within the scope of this Agreement, Westin shall not borrow any money or execute any credit obligation in the name and on behalf of Owner or pledge the credit of Owner without Owner’s prior consent. Westin shall indemnify Owner and its Affiliates, and any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants or assigns against any claims, suits, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, which may be asserted against or incurred by Owner and any of the foregoing others because of any such unauthorized actions by Westin.

12.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Exhibits constitute the entire contract between the parties and supersede all prior contracts and understandings, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

12.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

12.14 Captions. The Table of Contents and captions to the Articles and Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, limit, describe, or affect the scope or intent of any part of this Agreement.

12.15 Relationship of the Parties. Westin and Owner are not joint venturers, partners, or joint owners with respect to the Resort, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, or similar relationship between the parties. In operating the Resort, signing contracts, accepting reservations, conducting financial transactions and making any other commitment, Westin acts as agent for a disclosed principal and assumes no independent contractual liability nor shall Westin extend its own credit with respect to any obligation incurred in operating the Resort and performing its obligations under this Agreement. Westin’s agency as established by this Agreement is coupled with an interest and may not be terminated by Owner until the expiration of the term of this Agreement or the prior termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

12.16 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any legal proceedings, including any arbitration proceeding, dispute resolution, or litigation of any nature, relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees from the other party. If any party secures a judgment in any proceeding brought to enforce or interpret this Agreement, then any costs or expenses (including reasonable

attorneys’ fees) incurred in enforcing, or in appealing from, such judgment shall be payable by the party against whom such judgment has been rendered and shall be recoverable separately from and in addition to any other amount included in such judgment. This Section 12.16 is intended to be severable from the other provisions of this Agreement and to survive and not be merged into any such judgment.

12.17 Confidentiality. The parties agree that the matters set forth in this Agreement are strictly confidential. In addition, the parties agree to keep strictly confidential all information of a proprietary or confidential nature about or belonging to a party to which the other party gains or has access by virtue of the relationship between the parties.

Except as disclosure may be required to obtain the advice of professionals or consultants, or financing for the Resort from an institutional lender, or in furtherance of a permitted assignment of this Agreement, or as may be required by law or by the order of any government, governmental unit or tribunal, including, without limitation, the Securities and Exchange Commission (and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or thereby) each party shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that such information is not disclosed to the press or to any other third person or entity without the prior consent of the other party. The obligations set forth in this Section 12.17 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. The parties shall coordinate with one another on all public statements whether written or oral and no matter how disseminated, regarding their contractual relationship as set forth in this Agreement, or the performance by either of them of their respective obligations under this Agreement.

12.18 Restrictive Covenant. During the initial term of this Agreement, Westin shall not, without the prior written consent of Owner, manage another resort within the Restricted Area. The provisions of this Section 12.18 shall not apply during any Extension Term. In addition, upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, the provisions of this Section 12.18 shall be null and void as of the effective date of the termination.

12.19 No Personal Liability. Nothing contained herein shall give rise to any personal liability on the part of any individual officer, director, or employee, consultant or agent of either of Westin or Owner, or any Affiliates thereof.

12.20 Status of Agreements. The parties hereby confirm that the GHR Agreement has been replaced and superseded in its entirety by this Agreement. The parties further confirm the status of certain other agreements entered into in connection with the GHR Agreement, as follows:

12.20.1 The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Interim Operations Agreement dated as of May 7, 1997 between WHC and GHR has expired and is of no further force or effect and that neither Owner nor Westin shall have any obligation to the other in connection with such agreement.

12.20.2 The parties further acknowledge and agree that the Agreement re Guaranty of Funds dated as of May 7, 1997 between WHC and GHR (the “Minimum Payment Agreement”) has been terminated and is of no further force or effect and that neither Owner nor

Westin shall have any obligation to the other in connection with the Minimum Payment Agreement.

12.20.3 Effective as of the date of this Agreement, GTA, Owner and Westin have executed an SNDA in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.

12.20.4 For further clarity, the parties acknowledge and agree that the only agreements presently in effect between them governing the operation and management of the Resort or the Golf Facility are (i) this Agreement, (ii) the SNDA, (iii) the Golf Management Agreement, and (iv) the Side Letter between Westin and Owner dated as of the Effective Date.

12.21 Mutual Release of Claims.

12.21.1 Mutual Release.

(a) Subject only to the provisions of Section 12.21.3 below, Owner, on behalf of itself and each of its present and former members, partners, stockholders, trustees, beneficiaries, predecessors, successors, affiliates (including GTA), subsidiaries, assigns, heirs, agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, and all persons acting by, through, under or in concert with them, or any of them (collectively, the “Owner Parties”) does hereby release and forever discharge Westin and each of its present and former members, partners, stockholders, trustees, beneficiaries, predecessors, successors, affiliates, subsidiaries, assigns, heirs, agents, directors, officers, employees, partners, representatives, and all persons acting by, through, under or in concert with them, or any of them (collectively, the “Westin Parties”), of and from any and all manner of action or actions, cause or causes of action, in law or in equity, suits, debts, liens, contracts, agreements, promises, liability, claims, demands, damages, losses, costs or expenses, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, whether now existing or hereafter arising based upon or relating to (A) the ownership, operation or management of the Resort or the Golf Facility prior to the Effective Date, or (B) the indebtedness of GHR to GTA evidenced by, among other things, the GTA Loan Agreement (collectively, “Released Claims”).

(b) Subject only to the provisions of Section 12.21.3 below, Westin, on behalf of itself and each of the other Westin Parties, does hereby release and forever discharge each of the Owner Parties of and from any and all manner of Released Claims.

12.21.2 Waiver of Unknown Claims. It is the intention of the parties that the foregoing mutual releases shall be effective as a full and final accord and satisfaction, and as a bar to all actions, causes of action, obligations, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, damages, losses, claims, liabilities and demands of whatsoever nature, character or kind, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, relating to the Released Claims. Furthermore, the parties hereby acknowledge that they are aware that they or their attorneys may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those which they now know or believe to exist with respect to the Resort or the Released Claims, but that it is their intention to hereby fully, finally and forever settle and release all of the claims known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, now existing or hereafter arising, which the Parties have or may have against each other based upon or relating to (i) the ownership, operation or management of the Resort or the Golf Facility prior

to the date of this Amendment, or (ii) the indebtedness of GHR to Lender secured by, among other things, the GTA Mortgage. In furtherance of such intention, the release herein given shall be and remain in effect as a full and complete mutual release notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional different claims or facts.

12.21.3 Reservation of Certain Rights. The releases set forth above shall not limit the ability of either of the parties to enforce its rights under this Agreement.

Each party hereby represents to the other that it has no knowledge of the assertion by a third party claimant of any such claims, demands, actions, penalties, suits or liabilities prior to the Effective Date (other than claims arising in the ordinary course of the operation of the Resort or the Golf Facility and fully covered by insurance or as set forth in that certain letter delivered from Owner to Westin or from Westin to Owner, as applicable, dated July 2004).

12.21.4 Ownership of Released Matters.

12.22 Interpretation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
