Schedule 3.12

[Attached]


Schedule 3.12

(A) The definition of “Second Amendment CapEx Basket” in Schedule 3.12 to the Second Amendment is hereby amended by deleting such definition in its entirety and inserting the following in replacement therefor:

““Second Amendment CapEx Basket” shall mean, as of the date of determination, (a) the sum of (i) the excess of $10,000,000 over the aggregate amount actually spent by Borrower in respect of Second Amendment Amenities CapEx at the time of the delivery of the certificate of a Responsible Officer of Borrower pursuant to this Schedule 3.12 certifying substantial completion of such items, (ii) the excess of $9,500,000 over the aggregate amount actually spent by Borrower in respect of Second Amendment Day Club CapEx at the time of substantial completion of the Day Club, and (iii) the excess of $26,500,000 over the aggregate amount actually spent by Borrower in respect of Second Amendment Completion CapEx at the time of substantial completion of the Second Amendment Completion CapEx, in each case, as may be increased as a result of a reallocation upon the occurrence of the Second Amendment Amenities CapEx Final Completion, Second Amendment Completion CapEx Final Completion and/or Second Amendment Day Club CapEx Final Completion, as applicable, less (b) the aggregate amount of any amount of the Second Amendment CapEx Basket used for Second Amendment Amenities CapEx, Second Amendment Day Club CapEx or Second Amendment Completion CapEx in accordance with Schedule 3.12 to the Second Amendment.”

(B) The section entitled “Concerning the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx” in Schedule 3.12 to the Second Amendment is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and inserting the following in replacement therefor:

Concerning the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx

On or after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, the Issuing Bank shall issue the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx LC for the account of the Borrower for the benefit of the Escrow Agent (or such other Person as may be approved by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) in a face amount equal to the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx LC Maximum Amount. The procedure for drawings by the Escrow Agent (or such other Person for whose benefit the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx LC has been issued) under the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx LC shall be as set forth in the Second Amendment Escrow Agreement (or, in the event the beneficiary of the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx LC is not the Escrow Agent, the other documentation governing such drawings as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, the drawing certificate for the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx LC) and the proceeds of each such drawing shall be used by the Escrow Agent (or such Person) solely to make payments with respect to, or as payment for, Second Amendment Day Club CapEx.

If Angel Management Group Clubs (“AMG”) honors its obligation to make a capital contribution to a joint venture of Borrower in respect of the cost of the Second Amendment Day


Club CapEx, such joint venture of Borrower may retain such funds, and the Minimum Liquidity Requirement shall be increased by an amount equal to 75% of the amount of such capital contribution from AMG.

Drawings under the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx LC shall be the sole source of funds for the payment of Second Amendment Day Club CapEx; provided that in the event that the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx LC is insufficient to complete and pay for the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx, the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx LC Maximum Amount may be increased by Borrower in an amount not to exceed the amount of Second Amendment CapEx Basket then available upon the delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (i) requesting that the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx LC Maximum Amount be increased by the amount set forth in such certificate, (ii) describing in detail the reasons for the need for the increase in such amount and (iii) certifying that such amount is then available in the Second Amendment CapEx Basket (accompanied by calculations supporting such certification). Administrative Agent will promptly forward a copy of each such certificate to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank.

Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx to be completed by May 31, 2013. The disbursement of funds for the completion of the Day Club and related matters shall be governed by the Second Amendment Escrow Agreement (or, in the event the beneficiary of the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx LC is not the Escrow Agent, the other documentation governing such drawings as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, the drawing certificate for the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx LC). Upon Second Amendment Day Club CapEx Final Completion, if the cost to complete the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx is less than $9,500,000, then, upon cancellation of the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx LC, the face amount of the Second Amendment Day Club CapEx LC as of such cancellation that represents the excess of $9,500,000 over the actual cost of completion and that have not otherwise been reallocated in respect of the Second Amendment CapEx Basket shall, subject to the option of the Borrower as notified to the Administrative Agent, either (1) increase the amount of the Minimum Liquidity Requirement by an amount equal to 75% of the amount so cancelled, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders of such change or (2) be drawn by the Borrower as a Revolving Loan, the proceeds of which shall be transferred into a blocked account at the Administrative Agent, subject to the security interest created by the Security Agreement, to be held in such blocked account and reallocated to the Second Amendment CapEx Basket for further allocation by the Borrower to the amounts set forth in clauses (a)(i) and/or (a)(iii) thereof in accordance with the definition thereof.”
