(c) The Company shall secure the resignation of all of the directors of 3 Trendwest South Pacific Pty. Ltd.

(d) Promptly upon Stock Purchase Closing Date, subject to Section 1.6(f) below and the penultimate sentence of this Section 1.6(d), Parent shall be entitled to designate such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, of the Company as is equal to the product of the total number of directors on such Board (giving effect to the directors elected or designated by Parent pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by the percentage that the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Merger Sub, Parent and any of their Affiliates bears to the total number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding. The Directors so designated by Parent shall take office immediately after (i) the purchase of and payment for shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) compliance with Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, whichever shall occur later (the time at which a majority of Company Board of Directors shall be comprised of designees of Parent, the "Appointment Time"). In furtherance thereof, the Company shall, upon request of the Parent, use its best efforts promptly either to increase the size of its Board of Directors, including by amending the Bylaws of the Company if necessary so as to increase the size of the Company Board of Directors, or to secure the resignations of such number of its incumbent directors other than the directors set forth on Schedule 1.6(d) (such directors, the "Special Committee Directors"), or both, as is necessary to enable such designees of Parent to be so elected or appointed to the Company's Board, and the Company shall take all actions available to the Company to cause such designees of Parent to be so elected or appointed at such time. At such time, the Company shall, if requested by Parent, also take all action necessary to cause persons designated by Parent to constitute the same percentage (rounded up to the next whole number) as is on the Company Board of Directors of each committee of the Company's Board of Directors. (e) The Company shall promptly take all actions required pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-l promulgated thereunder in order to fulfill its obligations under Section 1.6(d), including mailing to shareholders the information required by such Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 as is necessary to enable Parent's designees to be elected or appointed to the Company's Board of Directors immediately after any purchase of shares of Company Common Stock by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement as a result of which Parent and its Subsidiaries own beneficially at least a majority of then outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. Parent and Merger Sub will supply the Company all information with respect to either of them and their nominees, officers, directors and Affiliates (as defined below) required to be disclosed by such Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1. The provisions of Sections 1.6(d) and (e) are in addition to and shall not limit any rights which Merger Sub, Parent or any of their Affiliates may have as a holder or beneficial owner of shares of Company Common Stock as a matter of law with respect to the election of directors or otherwise. (f) In the event that Parent's designees are elected or appointed to the 4 Company's Board of Directors, until the Effective Time, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall take any action to remove any of the Special Committee Directors without cause or fail to nominate for re-election or elect such directors to another term and, in any case, in the event that any of such individuals shall resign or decline to be nominated for re-election, the Company's Board shall have at least two directors who meet the independence requirements of the rules and regulations of Nasdaq (including any of the Special Committee Directors) (the "Independent Directors"), provided, that, in such event, if the number of Independent Directors shall be reduced below two for any reason whatsoever, any remaining Independent Directors (or Independent Director, if there be only one remaining) shall be entitled to designate persons to fill such vacancies who shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement or, if no Independent Director then remains, the other directors shall designate two persons to fill such vacancies who shall not be shareholders, Affiliates, employees or associates of the Company, Majority Shareholder, Parent or Merger Sub, and such persons shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Parent's designees constitute a majority of the directors on the Company Board of Directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Independent Directors shall be required after the Stock Purchase Closing Date and prior to the Effective Time, to (a) amend or terminate this Agreement by the Company, (b) exercise or waive any of the Company's rights, benefits or remedies hereunder if such exercise or waiver materially and adversely affects holders of shares of Company Common Stock other than Parent or Merger Sub, or (c) take any other action under or in connection with this Agreement if such action materially and adversely affects holders of shares of Company Common Stock other than Parent or Merger Sub; provided, that, if there shall be no such directors, such actions may be effected by unanimous vote of the entire Company Board of Directors.

(i) As used herein, the term "Merger Consideration" shall mean the right to receive a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent, designated as CD common stock ("Parent Common Stock"), rounded to the nearest thousandth of a share, equal to the Majority Shareholder Exchange Ratio (as such term is defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement); provided, however, that: (x) in the event that the number determined by dividing twenty-four dollars ($24.00) by the Average Trading Price (as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.3 and this subsection 2.1(c), the "Public Shareholder Exchange Ratio") is greater than the Majority Shareholder Exchange Ratio, then the Merger Consideration shall equal a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Public Shareholder Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that if the calculation pursuant to this clause (x) would result in a Public Shareholder Exchange Ratio greater than the High-End Ratio, then, subject to clause (y) below, the Public Shareholder Exchange Ratio shall be the High-End Ratio; and (y) in the event that the Average Trading Price is less than thirteen dollars and fifty cents ($13.50) per share, then the Merger Consideration shall equal a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Top-up Public Shareholder Exchange Ratio. (ii) For purposes of this Agreement: "Average Trading Price" shall mean the arithmetic average of the 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time closing sales prices of Parent Common Stock reported on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") Composite Tape for the ten (10) consecutive NYSE trading days (each, a 6 "Trading Day") ending on (and including) the second Trading Day immediately prior to, and excluding, (x) in the event that no Company Shareholders Meeting is required to be held, in accordance with applicable Law, in order to approve the Merger, the date of the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 10(b) and (y) in the event approval of the Merger at the Company Shareholders Meeting is required, in accordance with applicable Law, in order to consummate the Merger, the date of the Company Shareholders Meeting (such period, the "Valuation Period"). "High-End Ratio" shall mean the number determined by dividing (I) twenty-four dollars ($24.00) by (II) sixteen dollars and fifteen cents ($16.15). "Top-up Public Shareholder Exchange Ratio" shall mean a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock, rounded to the nearest thousandth of a share, equal to the quotient determined by dividing (i) the product of (x) thirteen dollars and fifty cents ($13.50) and (y) the High-End Ratio by (ii) the Average Trading Price. Section 2.2 Exchange of Certificates. At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with Mellon Shareholder Services or such other bank or trust company as may be designated by Parent (the "Exchange Agent") and which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, through the Exchange Agent, certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock (such shares of Parent Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto with a record date after the Effective Time and any cash payments in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund") assumable and payable pursuant to Section 2.1 in exchange for Company Common Stock. (a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Common Stock (the "Certificates") whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(b), (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to other such agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (x) certificates representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II after taking into account all Company Common Stock then held by such holder under all such Certificates so surrendered, and (y) cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(e) (in each case after giving effect to any required withholding taxes), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, certificates representing the proper number of 7 shares of Parent Common Stock may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if, upon presentation to the Exchange Agent, such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificate representing Parent Common Stock or cash (including in lieu of a fractional share interest) shall be delivered to a Person who is an "affiliate" (as contemplated by Section 7.13 hereof) of the Company unless such affiliate has theretofore executed and delivered to Parent the agreement referred to in Section 7.13. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration or cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.2(e) and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(c). No interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates. (b) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.2(e) until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Article II. Subject to the effect of applicable escheat or similar laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock, less the amount of any withholding taxes which may be required thereon, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock, less the amount of any withholding taxes which may be required thereon. (c) All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article II (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.2(e)) shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificates. (d) No Fractional Shares. (i) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution of Parent shall relate to such fractional share interests and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of Parent. 8 (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount, less the amount of any withholding taxes, as contemplated by Section 2.2(f), which are required to be withheld with respect thereto, equal to the product of (A) such fractional part of a share and (B) Average Trading Price. (e) Each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be. (f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of the Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for, and Parent shall remain liable for, payment of their claim for Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock. Any such portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. (g) None of Parent, Sub, the Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, in each case delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. (h) The Exchange Agent shall invest cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis, provided that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable or the timing of the amounts payable pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent. (i) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in 9 exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, and unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof, in each case pursuant to this Agreement. (j) The stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed immediately upon the Effective Time and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation for any reason shall be converted into the Merger Consideration with respect to the Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby (including any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(e)) and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(c). Section 2.3 Certain Adjustments. If after the date hereof and on or prior to the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock shall be changed into a different number of shares as a result of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification or any similar transaction, the Public Shareholder Exchange Ratio, Top-up Public Shareholder Exchange Ratio and High-End Ratio shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted.

Each Option shall be converted as of the Effective Time automatically into an option to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock, and Parent shall assume each such Option (hereinafter, an "Assumed Option") subject to the terms of the Option Plan and the agreement evidencing the grant thereunder of such Option, and all references to the Company in each such Option shall be deemed to refer to Parent, where appropriate; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time, (A) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of an Assumed Option shall be equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were purchasable under such Assumed Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Majority Shareholder Exchange Ratio, the Public Shareholder Exchange Ratio or the Top-up Public Shareholder Exchange Ratio, as the case may be (whichever forms the basis for determining the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.2(c)) (the "Option Exchange Ratio"), rounded down to the nearest whole share, and (B) the per share exercise price under such Assumed Option shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the per share exercise price under such Assumed Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Option Exchange Ratio rounded up to the nearest cent. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that no Options are "incentive stock options" (as defined in Section 422 of the Code). Except as set forth above, the other provisions of each Assumed Option shall otherwise remain unchanged. Parent shall file 10 with the SEC, no later than two (2) business days after the Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8 relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to the Assumed Options.

(c) Termination of All Rights. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that any plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and any and all rights, options or other interests granted or issued thereunder, shall be cancelled; provided, however, that the Option Plan shall remain in effect. (d) Section 16. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(u) not approve or request changes to the Construction Contracts ("Change Orders") that result in a change which (i) violates a governmental requirement, any Law or Lease; (ii) would reasonably be expected to reduce the overall scope, quality, character or Amenities of the parcel of Real Property, (iii) increases construction costs for such project by more than one per cent of the project cost (calculated by including together with such change order request any prior change orders for such project which in and of themselves did not constitute a Change Order), (iv) reduces the number of "Units" (as such term is defined in the Declarations) or VOIs to be allocated to such parcel of Real Property after conveyance to the Club or (v) extends the Completion Date for any parcel of Owned Real Property more than thirty (30) days beyond the date indicated therefor on the Construction Schedule (any such change, a "Material Variation") and will deliver to Parent within three (3) business days of receipt: (a) all notices sent to or received from any Governmental Authority regarding the governmental requirements with respect to any Construction Project indicating a material problem with or the 59 likelihood of a material delay in the completion of any Construction Project; and (b) all requests for "Change Orders" (as hereinafter defined); and (v) not enter into any written agreement, contract, commitment or arrangement to do any of the foregoing, or authorize, recommend, propose, in writing or announce an intention to do any of the foregoing. Section 6.2 No Solicitation. (a) The Company agrees that it shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, negotiations and communications with any Persons with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in Section 6.3). Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2(b) below, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of termination of this Agreement and the Stock Purchase Closing Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants or other agents (collectively, "Representatives") shall not, directly or indirectly (i) initiate, solicit or encourage (including, without limitation, by way of furnishing information), or take any action to facilitate the making of, any offer or proposal which constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into any agreement regarding an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) participate in negotiations or discussions with, or provide any information or data to, any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective affiliates or Representatives) regarding any Acquisition Proposal or (iv) make or authorize any statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any Acquisition Proposal, or otherwise encourage any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek any of the foregoing. Any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any of the Company's Representatives, whether or not such Representative is so authorized and whether or not such Representative is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Stock Purchase Closing Date, the Company may furnish information concerning its business, properties or assets to any Person pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreements, dated July 23, 2001 and March 5, 2002, entered into between Parent and the Company (the "Confidentiality Agreement") and may negotiate and participate in discussions and negotiations with such Person concerning an Acquisition Proposal if, and only if, (x) such entity or group has on an unsolicited basis, and in the absence of any violation of this Section 6.2 by the Company or any of its Representatives, submitted a bona fide written Superior Proposal to the Company and (y) in the good faith opinion of the Company Board of Directors, only after consultation with independent outside legal counsel to the Company, providing such information or access or engaging in such discussions or negotiations is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and the failure to provide such information or access or to engage in such discussions or negotiations would be inconsistent with the Board's fiduciary duties to the Company's shareholders under applicable law. A "Superior Proposal" means any Acquisition Proposal that is not conditioned upon the ability to obtain financing (A) which is for all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or one hundred percent (100%) of the consolidated assets of the Company and (B) which the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with a nationally recognized investment banking firm, is (I) superior to the Company's shareholders from a financial point of view and, taking into account 60 relevant legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal, the identity of the third party making such proposal, and the conditions for completion of such proposal, a more favorable transaction than the Merger and (II) reasonably likely to be completed. The Company shall promptly, and in any event within twenty-four hours following receipt by the Company or any of its Representatives of a Superior Proposal or any inquiry or expression of interest relating to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Proposal Interest (as defined below) and prior to providing any such party from whom a Superior Proposal has been received with any material non-public information, notify Parent and Majority Shareholder of the receipt of the same. The Company shall promptly provide to Parent any material non-public information regarding the Company provided to any other party which was not previously provided to Parent, such additional information to be provided no later than the date of provision of such information to such other party. (c) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.2(c), neither the Company Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or to Merger Sub, the approval or recommendation by the Company Board of Directors or any such committee of this Agreement, the Merger or take any action or make any statement inconsistent with such approval, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal (any action described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), a "Change in the Company's Recommendation"), or (iii) enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle or agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Stock Purchase Closing Date, the Company Board of Directors, subject to the terms of this and the following two sentences, to the extent that it determines in good faith, after consultation with independent outside counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the Board's fiduciary duties to the Company's shareholders under applicable law, may make a Change in the Company's Recommendation. The Company may make a Change in the Company's Recommendation (A) at a time that is after the third business day following the Company's delivery to Parent of written notice advising Parent that the Company Board of Directors has determined that it has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, identifying the Person making such Superior Proposal and indicating that it intends to make a Change in the Company's Recommendation and (B) if, during such three (3) business day period, the Company and its advisors shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that such Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal. Any such Change in the Company's Recommendation shall not change the approval of the Company Board of Directors for purposes of causing any state takeover statute or other state law to be inapplicable to the Transactions, including the Merger, the Stock Option Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6.2 or any other provision hereof shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board of Directors from taking and disclosing to the Company's shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of 61 Directors of the Company, after consultation with outside counsel, failure to do so would be inconsistent with the Board's fiduciary duties to the Company's shareholders under applicable law; provided, however, that the Company Board of Directors shall not in any case make a Change in the Company's Recommendation except in accordance with Section 6.2(c). Section 6.3 Acquisition Proposals. The Company shall promptly notify Parent, Merger Sub and Majority Shareholder if any proposals are received by, any information is requested from, or any negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives, in each case in connection with any Acquisition Proposal (as hereinafter defined) or the possibility or consideration of making an Acquisition Proposal ("Acquisition Proposal Interest") indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of the Person indicating such Acquisition Proposal Interest and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers. The Company agrees that it shall keep Parent, Merger Sub and Majority Shareholder informed, on a current basis, of the status and terms of any Acquisition Proposal Interest. As used in this Agreement, "Acquisition Proposal" means any tender or exchange offer involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any proposal for a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner an interest in excess of fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding equity securities, or a substantial portion of the business or assets of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than assets or inventory in the ordinary course of business or assets held for sale), any proposal or offer with respect to any recapitalization or restructuring with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any proposal or offer with respect to any other transaction similar to any of the foregoing with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than pursuant to the Transactions.

(c) Parent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any other appropriate government official and of any requests by the SEC or its staff or any other appropriate government official for amendments or supplements to any of the filings with the SEC in connection with the Merger and other Transaction or for additional information and shall supply the Company with copies of all correspondence between Parent or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff or any other appropriate government official, on the other hand, with respect thereto. Parent shall use their respective reasonable efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Form S-4 as promptly as practicable (and to the extent that Parent's ability to so respond depends upon the response of the Company or Majority Shareholder, in turn, the Company and Majority Shareholder each agrees to use its reasonable efforts to permit Parent to so respond). The Company and Majority Shareholder shall provide Parent with all information necessary in order to prepare the Form S-4 and any information such party may obtain that could necessitate amending any the Form S-4.

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its shareholders as promptly as practicable after it shall have been cleared by the SEC. Parent and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the Proxy Statement before it is filed with the SEC. (ii) Each of the Company, Majority Shareholder and Parent covenants that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will, at the date it is first mailed to the shareholders of the Company, or at the time of the Company Shareholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. The Proxy Statement will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, as 63 applicable.

If at any time prior to the Effective Time there shall occur (i) (x) any event with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or with respect to other information supplied by Company for inclusion in the Proxy Statement or (y) any event with respect to Majority Shareholder, or with respect to other information supplied by Majority Shareholder for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, or (ii) any event with respect to Parent, or with respect to information supplied by Parent for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, in either case, which event is required to be described in an amendment of, or a supplement to the Proxy Statement, such event shall be so described, and such amendment or supplement shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, as required by applicable federal securities laws, disseminated to the shareholders of Company. (iii) The Company shall promptly notify Parent of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any other appropriate government official and of any requests by the SEC or its staff or any other appropriate government official for amendments or supplements to any of the filings with the SEC in connection with the Merger and other Transaction or for additional information and shall supply Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff or any other appropriate government official, on the other hand, with respect thereto. The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement as promptly as practicable (and to the extent that the Company's ability to so respond depends upon the response of Majority Shareholder, in turn, Majority Shareholder agrees to use its reasonable efforts to permit the Company to so respond) and to consult with Parent and its counsel prior to responding to such comments. The Company and Majority Shareholder and Parent shall cooperate with each other and provide to the Company all information necessary in order to prepare the Proxy Statement, and shall provide promptly to the Company any information such party may obtain that could necessitate amending the Proxy Statement. (b) If approval by the Company's shareholders is required by applicable law or the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq in order to consummate the Merger: (i) The Company shall, as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act and the Proxy Statement has been cleared with the SEC, in accordance with applicable law, the Company's articles of incorporation and the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq, establish a record date (which shall be prior to or as soon as practicable following the date upon which the Proxy Statement has been cleared by the SEC) for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholders Meeting in accordance with the OBCA for the purpose of obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval.

Once the Company Shareholders Meeting has been called and noticed, the Company shall not postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholders Meeting (other than for the absence of a quorum) without the consent of Parent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees that its obligations pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.2(b)(i) shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Proposal Interest or any Change in the Company's Recommendation. Notwithstanding any Change in the Company's Recommendation, this Agreement and the Merger shall be submitted to the shareholders of the Company at the Company's Shareholders Meeting for the purpose of approving the Agreement and the Merger and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve the Company of such obligation. (ii) The Company shall coordinate and cooperate with Parent with respect to the timing of the Company Shareholders Meeting. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) above, if Parent shall acquire at least ninety percent (90%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and/or the Stock Option Agreement, and if permitted by Section 60.491 of the ORS, subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted hereunder) waiver of all conditions to the Merger, the Company and Parent shall take all necessary actions to cause the Merger to become effective, as soon as practicable after the acquisition of at least ninety percent (90%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, without a meeting of shareholders, in accordance with Section 60.491 of the ORS.

The Company and Majority Shareholder shall give prompt notice to Merger Sub and Parent and Merger Sub and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company and Majority Shareholder, of (a) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event whose occurrence or non-occurrence, as the case may be, would be likely to cause either (i) any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate at any time from the date hereof to the Effective Time or (ii) any condition set forth in Article X to be unsatisfied on any date (assuming, for such purposes, that such date was the Stock Purchase Closing Date) from the date hereof to the Stock Purchase Closing Date and (b) any material failure of the Company, Majority Shareholder, Merger Sub or Parent, as the case may be, or any officer, director, employee or agent thereof, to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice, the representations or warranties of the parties, the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereto, or any indemnification obligation contained in Articles VIII or IX hereof. Section 7.5 Access; Confidentiality. (a) From the date of this Agreement until the Stock Purchase Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause the Company's Subsidiaries to, (i) give Parent, its officers and a reasonable number of its employees and its authorized representatives, reasonable access at all reasonable times during normal business hours to the agreements, contracts, books, records, analyses, projections, plans, systems, personnel, commitments, offices and other facilities and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their accountants, and (ii) furnish Parent on a timely basis with such financial and operating data and other information with respect to the business and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent may from time to time reasonably request in writing and use reasonable best efforts to make available at all reasonable times during normal business hours to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financing sources and other representatives of the Parent the appropriate individuals (including management personnel, attorneys, accountants and other professionals) for discussion of the Company's and its Subsidiaries' business, properties, prospects and personnel as Parent may reasonably request.

(i) Up to and including the Stock Purchase Closing Date, Parent or its employees, representatives, engineers, consultants or agents may enter into and upon all or any portion of the Real Property and Club Real Property listed on Exhibit 7.5 in order to investigate and assess, as Parent deems necessary or appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion, the environmental condition of such property.

(c) Prior to the Stock Purchase Closing, each party shall promptly consult with the other parties hereto with respect to, provide any necessary information with respect to, and provide the other (or its counsel) copies of, all filings made by such party with any Governmental Authority or any other information supplied by such party to a Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, the Stock Option Agreement, the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Transactions.

Section 7.10 State Takeover Laws. If any state takeover statute becomes or is deemed to become applicable to the Company or the acquisition of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement, the Stock Purchase Agreement and/or Merger, then the Company Board of Directors shall take all lawful action necessary to render such statute inapplicable to the foregoing. Section 7.11 Employee Benefits. (a) Following the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide the employees of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries including employees of the Surviving Corporation who are performing services for the Club (collectively, "Company Employees") with employee benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to the Company Employees by Majority Shareholder and/or its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof. With respect to those Parent employee benefit plans ("Parent Plans") in which Parent, in its sole discretion, shall determine that Company Employees may participate on or after the Stock Purchase Closing Date, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, credit prior service of Company Employees with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, for purposes of eligibility and vesting under such Parent Plans to the extent that such service was recognized under the analogous Plans; provided, however, that such service need not be credited to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits. Company Employees shall also be given credit for any deductible or co-payment amounts paid in respect of the Parent Plan year in which the Effective Time occurs, to the extent that, following the Effective Time, they participate in any Parent Plan during such plan year for which deductibles or co-payments are required. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, waive (i) any preexisting condition restriction which was waived under the terms of any 70 analogous Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time or (ii) waiting period limitation which would otherwise be applicable to a Company Employee on or after the Effective Time to the extent such Company Employee had satisfied any similar waiting period limitation under an analogous Plan prior to the Effective Time. (b) Merger Sub agrees that, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall honor, in accordance with the terms thereof, the Plans (including all employment, change in control, severance, termination, consulting, retirement or other benefit agreements or arrangements) if and to the extent listed on Exhibit 7.11(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as set forth in Section 7.11(c) below, neither the Surviving Corporation nor Parent shall be required to assume, and neither shall assume by virtue of the Transactions, any liability with respect to any plan in which employees or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including for such purposes employees who are performing services for the Club) are not the sole participants or which is not sponsored solely by the Company. (c) (i) For the period beginning at the Stock Purchase Closing and ending on December 31, 2002 (unless Parent elects to shorten such period by providing written notice to Majority Shareholder), Majority Shareholder will provide (or cause to be provided) the following employee benefits to all Company employees, including Company employees currently on leave of absence and including any Company employees hired after the Stock Purchase Closing ("Employees"): medical and health insurance (including prescription drug), dental insurance, vision benefits, flexible spending accounts, life and survivor benefit insurance and disability insurance (including COBRA coverages). The foregoing benefits provided to Employees will be substantially similar to the benefits provided to such persons as of the date hereof. It is understood that Parent or Surviving Corporation will be the plan sponsor of the arrangement provided for in this Section 7.11(c). Majority Shareholder and the Company will each reasonably cooperate with each other with respect to coordinating payroll interfaces and administrative functions, and each will take any reasonable actions necessary and appropriate to facilitate the provision of such benefits in a manner substantially similar to the manner such benefits are provided to Employees as of the date hereof. Majority Shareholder will provide typical administrative services, payroll system support, claim payment services, enrollment assistance, and telephonic and recordkeeping support for participants. The Employees will be covered with the specific types and levels of coverages currently in effect for such Employees pursuant to their valid open enrollment elections in respect of the 2002 plan year. Employees will be permitted to amend their current coverages in the event of any "life status change" but only to the extent consistent with the then effective terms of the applicable plan and applicable law. Majority Shareholder will present Parent a monthly invoice reflecting the Costs (as defined below) with sufficient detail for Parent to assess the accuracy of such invoice. Parent will pay the Costs to Majority Shareholder within 30 days of receipt of such invoice. The Costs relating to the provision of the foregoing benefits will equal the actual direct costs incurred by Majority Shareholder after giving effect to actual losses (as a self-insurer) and taking into 71 account the terms, conditions and individual limits of the applicable plans, as well as premium costs paid to third party benefits providers. With respect to medical, health, dental and vision benefits, Parent will be charged only with respect to claims which are incurred by an Employee following the Stock Purchase Closing (Majority Shareholder will be responsible for claims incurred prior to the Stock Purchase Closing, including "run-off" of such claims for a period of one year following the Stock Purchase Closing). Parent will be responsible for the "run-off" of any claims which are incurred from and after the Stock Purchase Closing and prior to December 31, 2002 (or such earlier date upon which the provision of such benefits ceases). Majority Shareholder will also charge the Company an additional "administration fee" equal to twenty two dollars and fifty cents ($22.50) per covered Employee per month (or fraction of such amount per fraction of any month, in the case where such benefits are not provided for an entire month), which fee shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the Company's receipt of Majority Shareholder's invoice. (ii) Within thirty (30) days of the Company's receipt of Majority Shareholder's invoice, the Company will pay (x) up to the first fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) paid by Majority Shareholder in respect of each worker's compensation claim based on an occurrence giving rise to such claim which occurrence occurred prior to the Stock Purchase Closing (it being understood that claims under Majority Shareholder's worker's compensation may be made after the Stock Purchase Closing based on an occurrence prior to the Stock Purchase Closing), with Majority Shareholder being responsible, consistent with past practice, for any and all payments in excess of the first fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) payable in respect of any such claim and (y) premiums that have accrued but have not been paid as of the Stock Purchase Closing in respect of employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries covered by Majority Shareholder's Health Benefit Plan and worker's compensation plan for periods ending on the Stock Purchase Closing Date. (d) The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain on or prior to the Stock Purchase Closing Date fully executed written agreements from: (i) every current employee working in the Company's information technology department, assigning to the Company all such employee's right, title and interest in any Intellectual Property developed within the scope of such employee's employment with the Company during the entire period of such employee's employment whether before or after the date of such agreement; and (ii) every independent contractor currently working in the development of any Software for the Company, assigning to the Company all such independent contractor's right, title and interest in any Intellectual Property developed for the Company as a "work for hire" (as that term defined in the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. ss.101), or under any other theory of law, during the entire period of such individual's working for the Company, whether before or after the date of such agreement. Section 7.12 Resignations and Appointments. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the resignations of all (i) the members of the Boards of Governors (or other governing bodies) of any Association (the "Controlled Associations") which Parent lists in a written notice delivered to the Company, in 72 the event Parent delivers such a notice, and have persons chosen by Parent appointed as (i) members of the Boards of Governors (or other governing bodies) of such Controlled Associations immediately prior to the Merger Closing. Section 7.13 Affiliates. Schedule 7.13 sets forth those persons who are "affiliates" of the Company within the meaning of Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act (each such person an "Affiliate"). The Company shall provide Parent such information and documents as Parent shall request for purposes of reviewing such list. The Company has delivered or shall cause to be delivered to Parent, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, from each of its respective Affiliates, an executed Affiliate Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an "Affiliate Agreement"). Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to place appropriate legends on the certificates evidencing any Parent Common Stock to be received by Affiliates of the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and to issue appropriate stop transfer instructions to the transfer agent for Parent Common Stock, consistent with the terms of such Affiliate Agreements. Section 7.14 Non-solicitation and No-hire. (a) Majority Shareholder agrees that prior to the fourth anniversary of the Stock Purchase Closing Date, it shall not and it shall cause its current or future Subsidiaries (or entities in which a significant interest is held by Richard Wendt or Roderick Wendt as of the date hereof or as of such later date) (collectively, the "JW Affiliates") not to (i) solicit, induce or attempt to induce any individual who is an employee of the Company, the Club or any of their respective Subsidiaries to leave the employ of such entity or hire any individual who was an employee of the Company, the Club or any of their respective Subsidiaries at any time within four (4) months prior to the date of such hire, or (ii) in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company, the Club or any of their respective Subsidiaries and any individual who is an employee of the Company, the Club or any of their respective Subsidiaries, except the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (x) employees of the Company, the Clubs or any of their respective Subsidiaries that have been terminated without cause by the Company, the Clubs or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be or (y) (A) the employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries whose employment relationship is transferred to a JW Affiliate in connection with the Redemption Agreement (as defined in Section 7.15 below) ("MountainStar Employees") and (B) any of the employees of the Company listed on Exhibit 7.14. (b) Majority Shareholder agrees that prior to the second anniversary of the Stock Purchase Closing Date it shall not and it shall cause the JW Affiliates not to employ, or otherwise engage as an employee, independent contractor, or otherwise, any individual who, on the date hereof, was an employee of the Company, the Club or any of their respective Subsidiaries, except the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (x) employees of the Company, the Clubs or any of their respective Subsidiaries that have been terminated without cause by the Company, the Clubs or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be or (y) (A) the employment by TII or any Subsidiary of Majority Shareholder of any MountainStar Employees in connection with the transfer to Majority Shareholder of MountainStar and (B) hiring in connection with MountainStar of any of the employees of the Company listed on Exhibit 7.14. (c) Parent agrees that prior to the fourth anniversary of the Stock 73 Purchase Closing Date, it shall not and it shall cause its current or future Subsidiaries not to (i) solicit, induce or attempt to induce any individual who is an employee of TII to leave the employ of such entity or hire any individual who was an employee of TII at any time within four (4) months prior to the date of such hire, or (ii) in any way interfere with the relationship between TII or MountainStar and any individual who is an employee of TII, except the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to employees of TII that have been terminated without cause by TII. (d) Parent further agrees that prior to the second anniversary of the Stock Purchase Closing Date it shall not and it shall cause its current or future Subsidiaries not to employ, or otherwise engage as an employee, independent contractor, or otherwise, any individual who, on the date hereof, was an employee of TII, except the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to employees of TII that have been terminated without cause by TII. (e) A solicitation directed at the public in general (by means of advertising on radio or in a newspaper of general circulation or by way of an on-line listing) shall not constitute a breach of the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.14. (f) Except as may be expressly set forth herein, each of Majority Shareholder, Richard Wendt and Roderick Wendt agrees not to directly or indirectly take any actions or act in concert with any one who takes an action (including the failure to take a reasonable action) such that the resulting effect is inconsistent with the material terms herein. Transfer of MountainStar Assets. (a) MountainStar Call. (i) Majority Shareholder hereby grants the Company and Parent the right to call (the "TII Call") all of the outstanding equity of Trendwest Investments, Inc., a Washington corporation ("TII"), the Company Subsidiary which owns the MountainStar development project (as more fully described on Schedule 7.15 hereto) ("MountainStar"), the Subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule 7.15 hereto and certain other assets of the Company related to MountainStar described on Schedule 7.15 (collectively, the "MountainStar Assets") from Majority Shareholder for a price equal to the TII Price (as defined below). If Parent exercises the TII Call, the word "Parent" shall be read everywhere in this Section 7.15(a) where the words "the Company" appear. The parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to structure the TII Call on a tax-efficient basis. The Company hereby represents and warrants that the MountainStar Assets do not include any assets used in or for the operation of any of the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than MountainStar). The TII Call may be exercised by the Company (then the Surviving Corporation), in its sole discretion, at any time during the period beginning on the calendar day after the Merger Closing Date and ending on the day which is the earlier of (x) sixty (60) days after the Merger Closing Date and (y) one hundred fifty (150) days after the Stock Purchase Closing Date, by delivery of a written notice (the "Call Notice") on or before the last day of such period to Majority Shareholder indicating that it is exercising the TII Call (the "Call Termination Date"). 74 (ii) The closing of the sale of the MountainStar Assets to the Company shall occur on the third business day following the date on which the Call Notice is delivered by the Company to the Majority Shareholder or on such other date as the parties shall mutually agree. The sale of the MountainStar Assets to the Company shall be made without representations or warranties of any kind; provided, however, that Majority Shareholder agrees to take all commercially reasonable actions from and after the date of the MountainStar Redemption to ensure that (i) there is no adverse consequence in respect of any of the development rights associated with MountainStar and (ii) none of the MountainStar Assets are subjected to any Liens other than those in existence on the date of the MountainStar Redemption. At such closing Majority Shareholder shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Company the certificates representing all outstanding equity securities of TII and such other documents and instruments as are necessary or appropriate to convey the MountainStar Assets, and the Company shall deliver the TII Price to Majority Shareholder. The TII Price shall be paid by delivery to Majority Shareholder of a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient determined by dividing (x) the TII Price plus (i) any appropriate adjustment in the book value of MountainStar (as defined below) resulting from the operation/financing of MountainStar between the date of the MountainStar Redemption and the date on which the TII Call closes, provided any such adjustments reflect investments not greater than those indicated in the MountainStar budget attached hereto as Exhibit A to Schedule 7.15 (or variances from such budget, including adjustments for capitalized interest, that are reasonable under the circumstances), and (ii) as appropriately adjusted for any change in the amount owing on the Company Note (as defined below) to Majority Shareholder or the Additional MountainStar Debt (both as defined below) owing to the Company, in either case pursuant to their respective terms as in effect on the date hereof (and interest accrued thereon) between the date of the MountainStar Redemption and the date on which the TII Call closes, and for any Transfer Taxes that may be payable in connection with the transfer of the MountainStar Assets to the Company by (y) the Stock Purchase Average Trading Price (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement); provided, however, if the Stock Purchase Average Trading Price exceeds eighteen dollars and fifty cents ($18.50) then the Stock Purchase Average Trading Price shall be deemed to be eighteen dollars and fifty cents ($18.50); and provided further that if the Stock Purchase Average Trading Price is less than sixteen dollars and fifteen cents ($16.15) then the Stock Purchase Average Trading Price shall be deemed to be sixteen dollars and fifteen cents ($16.15). (iii) Majority Shareholder shall, until the Call Termination Date, provide Parent and the Company with reasonable access to MountainStar and to any books and records of TII and the other Subsidiaries included in the MountainStar Assets reasonably relevant to assessing MountainStar as an investment. (b) MountainStar Conditional Redemption. (i) On the Stock Purchase Closing Date and prior to 75 the Stock Purchase Closing, Company shall redeem from Majority Shareholder (or a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Majority Shareholder) a portion of Majority Shareholder's interest in Company in exchange for the MountainStar Assets, subject to the condition with respect to Parent's per share price described in Section 7.15(c) below (the "MountainStar Redemption"). The number of shares of Company Common Stock to be redeemed by the Company in connection with the MountainStar Redemption (the "Redeemed Shares") shall equal the quotient determined by dividing (i) the TII Price by (ii) twenty-four dollars ($24.00). The "TII Price" shall mean (i) the sum of (x) the amount reflected as total assets on the TII balance sheet (which amount was approximately $80.07 million on the February 28, 2002 TII balance sheet) as of the date of closing of the MountainStar Redemption (the "Redemption Closing Date") and (y) any Transfer Taxes that may be payable in connection with the transfer of the MountainStar Assets by the Company, minus (ii) the sum of (x) an amount equal to the principal amount owing as of the Redemption Closing Date on the Company's note payable (the "Company Note") to Majority Shareholder (and interest accrued thereon) (in the principle amount of approximately $13.2 million as of the date hereof), (y) the amount owing on the debt payable to the Company listed on Schedule 7.15 hereto (the "Additional MountainStar Debt") as of the Redemption Closing Date, which Additional MountainStar Debt shall bear interest at the rate of six and one-half percent (6.5%) per annum (compounded annually) (in the principle amount of approximately $18.7 million dollars as of the date hereof) and (z) the sum of (A) the amounts reflected as "accrued liabilities" and "accounts payable and bank overdraft" on the TII balance sheet as of the Redemption Closing Date and (B) the amount of any other liabilities reflected on the TII balance sheet as of the date of Redemption Closing Date which liabilities (I) correspond to assets that have been included in total assets reflected on the TII balance Sheet as of the Redemption Closing Date and (II) have been accrued for but unpaid as of the as of the Redemption Closing Date (the liabilities described in this clause (z), the "Permitted Accrued Liabilities"). Majority Shareholder and the Company agree that the assets and liabilities of MountainStar from and after February 28, 2002 shall be accounted for in a manner consistent with the preparation of the February 28, 2002 TII balance sheet, with the only liabilities being reflected thereon as of the Redemption Closing Date representing amounts owing in respect of Permitted Accrued Liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business and the amounts owing under the Company Note and the Additional MountainStar Debt, as such amounts may be adjusted from and after the date hereof pursuant to their terms as in effect on the date hereof.- Majority Shareholder acknowledges that the MountainStar Assets do not include any assets reflected on the Company's consolidated balance sheet other than assets reflected on the TII balance sheet. Majority Shareholder and the Company each acknowledges that TII has a liability for commissions payable that are contingent upon closing of lot sales at MountainStar and that is and will not be reflected on the TII balance sheet. The parties acknowledge that the Redemption Closing Date shall be the Stock Purchase Closing Date. (ii) Pursuant to the Redemption Agreement, 76 Majority Shareholder shall deliver to the Company stock certificates representing the Redeemed Shares and the Company shall deliver to Majority Shareholder certificates representing all of the outstanding shares of each of TII and the other Subsidiaries of the Company comprising the MountainStar Assets, as well as an assignment of other miscellaneous assets comprising the MountainStar Assets (none of which are used in or related to the operations of the businesses of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than those comprising the MountainStar Assets)). (iii) Majority Shareholder hereby acknowledges that (A) the Company Note shall be transferred to and assumed by TII prior to the effectuation of the MountainStar Redemption and shall become a direct obligation of TII to the holder of the Company Note, (B) TII shall have agreed to indemnify the Company in respect of any claim made with respect thereto and (C) Majority Shareholder shall have released the Company from any and all obligations under the Company Note. Majority Shareholder hereby agrees that it shall cause the Additional MountainStar Debt to be repaid in cash within five (5) business days following the later of (x) the Merger Closing Date and (y) the date on which the registration statement on Form S-3 to be filed pursuant to the registration rights agreement (to be entered into pursuant to Section 6(g) of the Stock Purchase Agreement) goes effective. (iv) The Redemption will be effected pursuant to the redemption agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto ("Redemption Agreement"). The Redemption Agreement shall not include any representations, warranties or indemnities of any kind, except: (x) Company shall warrant that it has conveyed to Majority Shareholder its entire right, title and interest in TII, and (y) by the Stock Purchase Closing the MountainStar Assets shall have been released as security under the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that Parent hereby agrees that in the event the lenders under the Credit Agreement are unwilling to release the MountainStar Assets as security for obligations being secured thereby, that Parent shall agree to provide such lenders with such guarantee of such obligations as they may request as a condition to granting such release. (v) The Company agrees that in the event TII receives any invoice relating to cash expenditures by the Company or TII prior to the date of the MountainStar Redemption which were reflected on the books and records of the Company as an increase in the book value of TII and, consequently, in the TII Price, it shall pay over to TII within fifteen (15) days following receipt from TII of such invoice the amount thereof (it being understood that the Company shall not be responsible for any interest (other than interest which has been reflected as in increase in the book value of TII) or other liabilities arising out of the failure to have timely paid such invoice or otherwise or any other liabilities or obligations associated with the matters giving rise to such invoice). (c) Cancellation of the MountainStar Redemption. In the event that the closing price of Parent Common Stock on the NYSE on the Merger Closing Date is less than ten dollars ($10.00), then the MountainStar Redemption shall be cancelled and shall have no effect, 77 and Majority Shareholder and the Company shall be returned to their respective positions immediately before the MountainStar Redemption as if such MountainStar Redemption had never occurred (the "Cancellation"), and the Redeemed Shares shall be purchased by Merger Sub prior to the Merger in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement. Section 7.16 Majority Shareholder Post-Redemption Covenants. Following the date of the Redemption, and continuing until such time that Parent exercises the TII Call, Majority Shareholder agrees as follows: (a) Exclusivity: Timeshare Interests. Majority Shareholder agrees that the Company shall have, subject to subsection (c) below, the exclusive right ("Exclusivity Right") to develop, market and sell Timeshare Interests (as defined in Section 7.18 below) at MountainStar, including, without limitation, (x) the right to develop "Units" (as such term is defined in the Declarations) located at MountainStar, (y) the right to market and sell anywhere in the United States Timeshare Interests relating to the right to own or use property located at MountainStar and (z) the right to have a sales office or sales representative on or at MountainStar for the purposes of marketing and selling Timeshare Interests relating to the right to own or use property anywhere in the United States or the world. (b) Right of First Offer: Low-End Fractional Interests. Majority Shareholder agrees that the Company shall have a right of first offer with respect to becoming the exclusive developer, marketer and seller of Low-End Fractional Interests at MountainStar during the term of the Non-competition Agreement. Prior to commencing development of any plat at MountainStar that will include Low-End Fractional Interests, Majority Shareholder shall cause TII to first offer to Company the right to purchase and develop the pads slated for Low-End Fractional Interests pursuant to the then existing development plan by delivering to Company a notice (a "Low-End Fractional Notice") specifying: (i) the number and location of pads subject to the Low-End Fractional Notice, (ii) the price per pad (including without limitation, the utility hook-up fees, an estimated range for improvement fees, if any, payable in respect of such pads), (iii) the TII Pad Cost (as defined below), and (iv) and latest date on which the closing of the sale of such pads must occur. Within thirty (30) days after it receives the Low-End Fractional Notice, Company must either (x) accept the offer reflected by the Low-End Fractional Notice by delivering to TII an acceptance notice, (y) deliver a notice to TII invoking the Low-End Fractional Valuation Procedure (as described below), or (z) do nothing. If Company does nothing, the right of first offer set evidenced by this subsection (b) shall terminate with respect to the pads covered by such Low-End Fractional Notice and any subsequent Low-End Fractional pads to be developed at MountainStar, and TII shall be permitted to develop, construct, market and sell Low-End Fractional Interests with respect to all such pads. If Company delivers an acceptance notice or invokes the Low-End Fractional Valuation Procedure, such action shall constitute an irrevocable obligation to purchase all the pads subject to such Low-End Fractional Notice on the terms in such notice, except as the price may be modified by the Low-End Fractional Valuation Procedure, and further represents an irrevocable commitment to develop, construct, market and sell such pads as Low-End Fractional Interests consistent with the schedule and requirements set forth in the then existing development plan for MountainStar. If Company fails to complete development and construction of the Low End Fractional pads within the schedule and requirements of the development plan, then in addition to any other rights available to TII, Company's right of first offer in this subsection (b) shall terminate. 78 The "TII Pad Cost" shall be TII's actual cost of such Timeshare Pads and Majority Shareholder agrees that in the event that the Company desires in good faith to offer a price lower than the TII Pad Cost after its receipt of the Low-End Fractional Notice, Majority Shareholder shall obtain the certification of Majority Shareholders independent accountants certifying that the TII Pad Cost equals TII's actual cost for such pads in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that in such event the Company's obligation to timely respond following delivery of the Low-End Fractional Notice shall be tolled during the period it takes to obtain such certification. The "Low-End Fractional Valuation Procedure" shall operate as follows: The notice by which Company invokes the Low-End Fractional Valuation Procedure shall set forth a price per pad pursuant to which Company will purchase the pads subject to the Low-End Fractional Notice. The price proposed by the Company shall not be less than the TII Pad Cost. If Company and TII are unable to come to agreement on within five (5) calendar days after TII's receipt of such notice from the Company, then each party shall within two (2) calendar days thereafter select a valuation designee, and those two persons shall, within five (5) calendar days of their appointment select a third person who is an MAI appraiser with more than 10 years of experience valuing real estate assets utilized for Timeshare Interest and Low-End Fractional Interest purposes (the "Selected Appraiser"). TII and Company shall be permitted to provide Selected Appraiser with such information as it deems appropriate to justify the price proposed by such party. The Selected Appraiser shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days of his or her appointment, select either the price per pad proposed by TII in the Low-End Fractional Notice, or by Company in its notice invoking the Low-End Fractional Valuation Procedure. The Selected Appraiser shall not be permitted to select a price other than the price proposed by TII or by Company. The costs and expenses of the Selected Appraiser shall be borne by the party whose price is not selected. (c) If in fact a master planned resort development is developed upon the MountainStar property, upon satisfaction of the Offer Conditions (as defined below), TII shall deliver to Company a notice (a "Timeshare Notice") specifying the price per pad (the "Proposed Price") for 200 pads located in no less favorable a position than the location indicated on the preliminary master plan attached as Exhibit 7.16(c) hereto as the location for Timeshare Interests, including, without limitation, in terms of proximity to the planned "village green" and the percentage of such Timeshare Pads that border a golf course (the "Timeshare Pads"). The Proposed Price shall include sufficient detail to enable one to determine what portion of the price relates to utility hook-up fees and other non-land components of price, if any. The timeshare pads offered hereunder shall be subject to impact fees described below, CC&Rs and other restrictions applicable to such parcels as set forth in the applicable title report. Within forty-five days after it receives the Timeshare Notice, Company must either (x) accept the offer reflected by the Timeshare Notice by delivering to TII an acceptance notice, (y) refuse the offer reflected by the Timeshare Notice by delivering a notice to TII indicating same, or (z) do nothing. If Company refuses or does nothing, (i) TII shall be permitted to sell the Timeshare Pads to another Person (that is not a Subsidiary of Majority Shareholder or any affiliate of Majority Shareholder) for development, marketing and sale as Timeshare Interests; provided, however, such Timeshare Pads may not be sold at a price less than the Proposed Price without first offering to Company a right to acquire such Timeshare Pads at the lower price offered to such third party, and (ii), provided such third party completes construction of 200 units on such Timeshare Pads within the 79 schedule on which the Company would have had to complete such units in order to retain its Exclusivity Right set forth herein, Company's Exclusivity Right shall terminate. Any re-offer of the Timeshare Pads to Company at a lower price shall again be by means of a Timeshare Notice, except that Company must either accept or reject such lower Proposed Price within 15 days after its receipt of the new Timeshare Notice. If Company delivers an acceptance notice to a Timeshare Notice, such action shall constitute an irrevocable obligation to (i) purchase all the pads subject to such Timeshare Notice, subject to satisfaction of the Purchase Conditions, on the terms in such notice and (ii) complete development and construction of 200 units on such Timeshare Pads in accordance with the following schedule: the Company will have, within twenty-four (24) months of the closing of the purchase of the Timeshare Pads, completed construction of one hundred (100) units and the Company will have, within forty-eight (48) months of the closing of the purchase of the Timeshare Pads, completed construction of an additional one hundred (100) units, in each case subject to appropriate delays arising out of any cause that is beyond the reasonable control of the Company which, despite the Company exercise of due diligence to prevent or overcome, prevents its performance of the obligations set forth in the previous sentence, including without limitation, strikes or other labor difficulties, acts of God, wars, earthquake, flood, explosion, fire, lightning, landslides, or similar cataclysmic event or Order imposed by Governmental Authorities (but, for the sake of clarity, not including: (a) economic hardship of the Company or (b) events attributable to negligence or willful misconduct, failure to comply with any Applicable Laws and Regulations, or any default by the Company under any construction agreement for the construction of the units to be built on the Timeshare Pads. If Company fails to complete development and construction of such 200 units in accordance with the foregoing schedule, Company's Exclusivity Right shall terminate (which loss of the Exclusivity Right shall, for the sake of clarity, constitute Majority Shareholder (and TII's) sole remedy for the Company's failure to have constructed Timeshare Interests on the Timeshare Pads). If Company purchase the Timeshare Pads, its Exclusivity Right shall become irrevocable unless as set froth above it fails to complete construction of 200 units in accordance with the schedule set forth above. (d) The "Offer Conditions" consist of (i) receipt of permits sufficient to ensure (x) completion of utility hook-ups for the 200 pads, (y) accessible all weather roadways and (ii) certification by TII of a range of the cost of impact fees associated with such 200 units. The "Purchase Conditions" consist of: (i) existence of sewer, water and other utility plant capacity sufficient for the 200 units to be constructed on the Timeshare Pads and all utility hook-ups to property boundaries, (ii) completion of accessible all weather roads to the property boundaries, (iii) all entitlements for the 200 units to be constructed on the Timeshare Pads shall have been obtained by TII, and (iv) impact fees for the 200 units to be constructed on the Timeshare Pads shall have been determined and shall fall within the range indicated in the Timeshare Notice. (e) Majority Shareholder agrees that the covenants contained in Sections 7.16(a) and 7.16(c) run with the land and that Majority Shareholder shall cause TII to take whatever action is necessary to ensure that any purchaser or transferee of all or any portion of MountainStar or of TII, or any of their respective successors in interest, shall be bound by these restrictions and agreements; provided, however, that in the event that Majority Shareholder determines to sell all of TII (or its successor) or all or substantially all the assets comprising MountainStar to a third party (other than to a Subsidiary of Majority Shareholder or other Person 80 in which Majority Shareholder or any Subsidiary of Majority Shareholder holds a significant interest or to any Person in which William Peare, Richard Wendt or Roderick Wendt holds a significant interest) at a time prior to the time at which it shall have delivered a Timeshare Notice then: (i) TII shall first offer the Timeshare Pads to the Company at a price determined by TII by delivering a written notice to the Company. The proposed price shall include sufficient detail to enable one to determine what portion of the price relates to utility hook-up fees and other non-land components of price, if any.

(b) Certain Tax Benefits. (i) Subject to Section 8.1(b)(iii), no later than 45 days after the filing of an income Tax Return of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any consolidated, combined, unitary or similar income Tax Return of Parent or its Subsidiaries which includes the Company and or any of its Subsidiaries as members of such consolidated, combined, unitary or similar group (in each case, for tax years ending December 31, 2001 and thereafter), subject to Section 8.6(b), Parent shall pay to the Majority Shareholder the amount, if any, of Company Tax Benefits Actually Realized by any of Parent, its Subsidiaries, the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to such Tax years ending December 31, 2001 and thereafter. (ii) For purposes of this Agreement, "Company Tax Benefit" shall mean the sum of the amounts by which the actual Tax liability 85 (after giving effect to the alternative minimum or similar Tax) of a corporation to the appropriate Taxing authority is reduced by or as a result of a deduction relating to any net operating loss carryover of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any alternative minimum tax net operating loss carryover of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any capital loss carryover of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any offset relating to any credit carryover of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any increase in the basis of an asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, that exists solely as a result of the Company and its Subsidiaries being required to file separate income Tax Returns (rather than consolidated, combined, unitary or similar Tax Returns) for taxable years ending December 31, 1999 and December 31, 2000 (each such Tax attribute, a "Company Tax Attribute"). For purposes of this Agreement, a Company Tax Benefit shall be deemed to be "Actually Realized" at the time of the filing of a Tax Return on which a Company Tax Attribute is applied to reduce the amount of Taxes which would otherwise be payable. (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the amount Parent shall be required to pay to the Majority Shareholder pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not exceed the Tax Damages paid by the Majority Shareholder to Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(v).

(b) Parent shall not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, subject to Section 8.2(e) and Section 8.3, to make or change any Tax election or amend any Tax Return (other than with respect to the carryback of a Tax Attribute from a period ending after the Stock Purchase Closing Date) if and only to the extent such election or amendment specifically relates to Taxes for which the Majority Shareholder has agreed to indemnify Parent pursuant to Section 8.1 of this Agreement, without the consent of the majority Shareholder not to be unreasonably withheld. 86 (c) Subject to Section 8.2(d), Majority Shareholder shall not, and Parent shall not be required by Majority Shareholder to, amend any Tax Return of or relating to the Company or any Subsidiary.

If any request by the Majority Shareholder to the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 8.2(d)(ii) requires the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to incur accountant's and similar fees and expenses (other than such fees and expenses incurred in the ordinary course), the Majority Shareholder shall pay such fees and expenses as such fees and expenses are incurred. (e) To the extent that the IRS does not rule favorably in respect of the Ruling Request, Parent shall provide to the Majority Shareholder all separate or non-consolidated income Tax Returns to be filed by the Company or its Subsidiaries for taxable periods ending in 1999 and 2000 at least 10 business days prior to such filing.

If the Majority Shareholder disputes any item on such Tax Return, it shall notify Parent (by written notice within ten days of receipt of such Tax Returns) of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection. The parties hereto shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the date on which the Tax Return is required to be filed.

The fees and expenses of the Tax Accountant shall be borne by the Majority Shareholder, provided, however, that Parent shall pay to Majority Shareholder (no later than 10 days after payment by the Majority Shareholder of such fees and expenses) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole share, equal to the quotient determined by dividing (i) one-half of the fees and expenses of the Tax Accountant that are payable by the Majority Shareholder under this Section 8.2(e) by (ii) the Tax Average Trading Price. (f) Certain Refunds. If Majority Shareholder (or any of its affiliates) or the Company (or any of its affiliates) receives (the receiving party, the "Refund Recipient") any refund or credit of California income or franchise Taxes for taxable years in which Majority Shareholder and the Company were members of a California combined (or similar) group, the Refund Recipient shall notify the other party in writing upon receipt by the Refund Recipient of such refund or credit, and shall pay in immediately available funds to the other party such party's equitable portion of the refund or credit received. Section 8.3 Tax Audits. (a) After the Stock Purchase Closing Date, each of Parent, on the one hand, and the Majority Shareholder, on the other hand ("Recipient"), will promptly notify the other party in writing upon receipt by the Recipient or any of its Affiliates (including in the case of the Parent, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) of any written notice of any pending or threatened audit or assessment, suit, proposed adjustment, deficiency, dispute, administrative or judicial proceeding or other similar Claim received by the Recipient or any of its Affiliates from any Tax authority or any other party with respect to Taxes for which the Majority Shareholder is liable pursuant to Section 8.1 (any such claim, a "Tax Claim"); provided, however, that a failure by Parent to give such notice will not affect Parent's or the Company's (or an Indemnified Person's) rights to indemnification under Section 8.1 unless and to the extent that the Majority Shareholder demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person's failure to give such notice. (b) In any Tax Claim involving any asserted liability for which the Majority Shareholder may be required to indemnify Parent pursuant to Section 8.1, the Majority Shareholder may elect to control the conduct of such Tax Claim, through counsel of the Majority Shareholder's own choosing and at the Majority Shareholder's own expense and with the participation of Parent. If the Majority Shareholder desires to elect to control any such Tax Claim, the Majority Shareholder shall within 10 calendar days of receipt of the notice of asserted Tax liability notify Parent in writing of its intent to do so. If the Majority Shareholder properly elects to control such Tax Claim, then the Majority Shareholder shall have all rights to settle, compromise and/or concede such asserted liability and Parent shall reasonably cooperate and shall cause the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to reasonably cooperate in each phase of such Tax Claim; provided, however, that the Majority Shareholder shall not settle, compromise and/or concede such asserted liability without the consent of Parent, not to be unreasonably withheld or, if such settlement, compromise or concession could increase the Tax liability of any of Parent (or any of its Affiliates) or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any other taxable period without the consent of Parent. If the Majority Shareholder does not elect to control a Tax Claim pursuant to this Section 8.3(b) (or, after assuming control, the Majority Shareholder fails to reasonably defend against such Tax Claim), Parent or the Company (or any Subsidiary) may, 88 without affecting its or any other indemnified party's rights to indemnification under this Article VIII, assume and control the defense of such Tax Claim with participation by the Majority Shareholder (at the Majority Shareholder's expense); provided, however, that Parent may not settle or compromise such Tax Claim without the consent of the Majority Shareholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Majority Shareholder will be responsible for preparing and timely filing (and Parent will cooperate with the Majority Shareholder, at the Majority Shareholder's expense, in preparing and filing) any Tax Returns required with respect to any such Transfer Taxes. The Majority Shareholder will provide to Parent a true copy of each such Tax Return as filed and evidence of the timely filing thereof. The Majority Shareholder shall pay all Transfer Taxes, if any, incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated by Section 7.15(c) of this Agreement; provided, however, that Parent shall pay to Majority Shareholder (no later than 10 days after payment by the Majority Shareholder of such Transfer Taxes) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole share, equal to the quotient determined by dividing (i) one-half of the Transfer Taxes that are payable by the Majority Shareholder pursuant to this Section 8.4(b) by (ii) the Tax Average Trading Price.

As of the Stock Purchase Closing, all Tax Sharing Agreements, written or unwritten, with respect to or involving any of the Company and/or any Subsidiary shall be terminated and, after the Stock Purchase Closing Date, the Company and each Subsidiary shall not have any further rights or obligations under any such agreement.

Any amounts that are not paid within such five (5) day period (or as otherwise set forth herein) shall accrue interest at an annual rate of eight percent (8%) per year. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VIII, any payment by Parent to the Majority Shareholder pursuant to Section 8.1(b) shall be paid solely in Parent Common Stock.

For purposes of this Agreement, the "Tax Average Trading Price" shall 89 mean the arithmetic average of the 4:00 p.m. eastern Time closing sales prices of Parent Common Stock reported on the NYSE Composite Tape for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on (and including) the second Trading Day immediately prior to, and excluding, the date that the payment by Parent to Majority Shareholder is required to be made pursuant to Section 8.1(b).

(a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made against an Indemnified Person under such Section, give notice to the Majority Shareholder of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the Majority Shareholder of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person's failure to give such notice. (b) If any Proceeding referred to in Section 9.4(a) is brought against an Indemnified Person and it gives notice to Majority Shareholder of the commencement of such Proceeding, Majority Shareholder will, unless the claim involves Taxes, be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes ((i) unless (x) Majority Shareholder is also a party to such Proceeding and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (y) Majority Shareholder fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such Proceeding and (ii) except in the case of Section 9.2(e)), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person and, after notice from Majority Shareholder to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, Majority Shareholder will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this Article IX for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person(s) in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If Majority Shareholder assumes the defense of a Proceeding, (i) no compromise, settlement or consent to the entry of judgment in respect of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the Indemnified Person(s)' consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of legal requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Person(s), (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by Majority Shareholder and (C) such compromise, settlement or consent to the entry of judgment includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Person(s) a release from all liability with respect to such claims; and (ii) the Indemnified Person(s) will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to Majority Shareholder of the commencement of any Proceeding and the Majority Shareholder does not, within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Person's notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, Majority Shareholder will be bound by any determination made in such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to Majority Shareholder, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but Majority Shareholder will not be bound by any determination of a Proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld). 93 (d) Majority Shareholder hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding is brought by a third party against any Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein, and agree that process may be served on Majority Shareholder with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.
