Introduction

The Seller owns all of the outstanding limited liability company interests and equity of the Company (the “Securities”). The Purchaser wishes to purchase the Securities from the Seller, and the Seller wishes to sell the Securities to the Purchaser, on the terms set forth herein. The purchase and sale of the Securities and the other transactions contemplated hereby are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.”

An index of defined terms used in this Agreement is set forth in Article 12.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

In reliance upon the representations and warranties contained herein, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as hereinafter defined), the Seller agrees to sell, transfer and assign to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Seller, the Securities. At the Closing, the Seller will execute and deliver an assignment, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1, transferring the Securities to the Purchaser free and clear of all Liens (as hereinafter defined), other than restrictions on transfers under applicable securities laws.

It is agreed that the allocations under this Section 1.4 will be binding on all parties for all federal, state, local and other Tax (as hereinafter defined) purposes and will be consistently reflected by each party on such party’s Tax returns.
 
1.5.  Escrow.

The Escrow Amount, along with any interest earned thereon while it is held in escrow, is referred to herein as the “Escrow Fund.” The Escrow Fund shall be held by the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof. The Escrow Fund shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any Lien, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes, and in accordance with the terms, of the Escrow Agreement.
 
1.6.  Deliveries at Closing by the Company and the Seller. At the Closing, and upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2, the Company and the Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser the instruments, consents, certificates and other documents required of the Seller and the Company by Section 8.1.
 
1.7.  Deliveries at Closing by the Purchaser. At the Closing, and upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1, the Purchaser will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Seller the instruments, consents, certificates and other documents required of the Purchaser by Section 8.2.

(a) The Seller is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
 
(b) The Seller understands that the Seller Notes and the shares of Purchaser Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any jurisdiction, by reason of reliance upon certain exemptions, and that the reliance of the Purchaser on such exemptions is predicated upon the accuracy of the Seller’s representations and warranties in this Agreement.
 
(c) The Seller has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Purchaser and to obtain additional information, documents and records relating to the Purchaser and its businesses, assets, results of operations and financial condition and the Transactions.

The Seller has reviewed the Purchaser Reports, including the risk factors contained therein.
 
(d) The Seller understands that the Seller Notes and the shares of Purchaser Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Purchaser in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such shares may be transferred or resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the legend described in Section 2.5(e) below.

6

 
(e) The Seller Notes and all certificates representing the Purchaser Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and any certificates subsequently issued with respect thereto or in substitution therefor shall bear a legend that such shares may only be sold or disposed of in accordance with (i) the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (ii) pursuant to an effective registration statement or (iii) pursuant to an exemption provided by the Securities Act. The Purchaser, at its discretion, may cause stop transfer orders to be placed with its transfer agent with respect to the certificates representing such Purchaser Common Stock as to which such legend is applicable.

TAX COVENANTS
 
7.1.  Consistent Tax Reporting. The parties hereto agree that the purchase of the Securities by the Purchaser is properly treated as the purchase of the Company’s assets and those of any Subsidiary limited liability company in which the Company is the sole member. Inasmuch as the Purchaser will file a consolidated federal income tax return with respect to any Subsidiary that is classified as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, the taxable year of any Subsidiary corporation will close at the close of business on the Closing Date. The Seller, the Company and the Purchaser shall treat and report the Transactions for purposes of any federal, state, local or foreign Tax in all respects consistently with the provisions of Section 1.4, this Section 7.1 and any other provision of this Agreement that specifies an intended Tax treatment or reporting position.

The Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns of the Company and all Subsidiaries for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Taxable Periods”) which have not been filed prior to the date of this Agreement. The Seller shall permit the Purchaser to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the prior sentence at least ten (10) days prior to filing and shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Purchaser, to the extent such revisions are consistent with the terms of this Agreement. All Tax Returns to be prepared by or for the Seller pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Company, except as otherwise required by law. The Seller shall be responsible for all Taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary for all Pre-Closing Taxable Periods to the extent due and payable prior to the Closing and shall pay to (or as directed by) the Company any such Taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary to the extent such Taxes have not already been paid by the Company, the Subsidiaries or the Seller prior to the Closing, and such payments shall be made no later than five (5) business days prior to the due date for paying such amount of Taxes to the relevant tax authority. The provisions of this Section 7.2 shall not limit the rights of the Purchaser for a breach of representations or warranties made in Section 3.19 of this Agreement.

(a) The Purchaser, the Company and the Seller shall cooperate fully, to the extent reasonably requested, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 7.3 or otherwise, and any audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return filing, audit, litigation, or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

If the Seller delivers its or the Company’s books and records to the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall thereafter make such books and records available during normal business hours to the Seller in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Article 7, upon reasonable prior notice.
 
(c) If requested by the Purchaser, the Company and the Seller will cooperate with the Purchaser to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental or Regulatory Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary (including, but not limited to, with respect to the Transactions).
 
7.5.  Control of Audits. After the Closing Date, except as set forth in the next sentence, the Company shall control the conduct, through counsel of its own choosing, of any audit, claim for refund, or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted Tax liability or refund with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Contest”). In the case of a Contest after the Closing Date that relates solely to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, the Seller shall control the conduct of such Contest, but the Company shall have the right to participate in such Contest at its own expense, and Seller shall not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Contest that could affect the Tax liability of the Company or its Subsidiaries for any taxable year (or portion thereof) after the Closing Date without the written consent of Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that, if the Seller fails to assume control of the conduct of any such Contest within 30 days following the receipt by the Seller of notice of such Contest, the Company shall have the right to assume control of such Contest and shall be able to settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Contest.
 
7.6.  Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, real property gains, stamp, registration, transaction privilege and other such Taxes and fees incurred as a result of the Transactions shall be paid by the Seller when due, and the Company will, at the Seller’s expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, real property gains, stamp, registration, transaction privilege and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, the Purchaser and the Seller will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

If the Closing occurs, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (as hereinafter defined) shall not be entitled to recover any Losses (as hereinafter defined) for breaches of the representations and warranties of the Seller and/or the Company contained herein (a) unless and until the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ aggregate claims therefor exceed $250,000, at which time the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover Losses for all claims in excess of such amount (except that claims for breach of any representation or warranty that is subject to Material Adverse Effect or other materiality qualifier shall not be subject to the terms of this clause (a) and, subject to all other applicable limitations in this Article 10, the Purchaser shall be allowed to recover for all Losses related thereto), or (b) absent fraud or willful misconduct, for an aggregate amount in excess of $8,500,000; provided that claims for breach of any of the Specified Representations by the Seller or the Company shall not be subject to the foregoing limits (but shall instead be subject to and not exceed the total consideration paid to the Seller) and shall not be included in the determination of whether the limit in clause (b) has been reached. Notwithstanding the limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 10.1 and this Section 10.2, such limitations shall not apply to any claim against the Seller for breach of any representation or warranty that to the knowledge of the Seller or the Company was inaccurate at Closing and which breach was not previously disclosed to the Purchaser in writing prior to the Closing. For all purposes of this Article 10, when determining the amount of the Losses, any Material Adverse Effect or other materiality qualifier in any such representation or warranty will be disregarded. No Indemnifier shall have any indemnification obligation for (x) punitive damages, except, in all cases, all such damages that are payable by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in connection with a third-party claim or (y) any indirect damages that are not reasonably foreseeable or (z) any damages resulting from positions taken by the Purchaser, the Company or any Subsidiary on any Tax Returns filed by them for any post-closing tax period, even if such positions are the same or similar to positions taken on Tax Returns filed by Seller, the Company or any Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Taxable Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Losses for breaches of the representations and warranties of the Seller and/or the Company to the extent based on facts and circumstances that constitute New Matters explicitly reflected in the Updated Disclosure Schedules, if any, unless and until the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ aggregate claims therefor exceed $250,000, at which time the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover Losses for all claims in excess of such amount subject to the other terms of this Article 10. For clarity, delivery of the Updated Disclosure Schedules shall have no effect other than as provided in the immediately preceding sentence.
 
10.3.  Indemnification by the Seller. If the Closing occurs, then subject to applicable limitations set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions and limitations in this Article 10, the Seller shall indemnify and hold the Purchaser and its Affiliates (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, obligations, costs, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation) of any nature (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of, resulting from or relating to (a) any breach or violation, or the inaccuracy, of any of the representations or warranties of the Seller and/or the Company set forth in this Agreement (including the schedules) or in any certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any breach or violation of the covenants or agreements of the Company set forth in this Agreement required to be performed prior to or at the Closing, (c) any breach or violation of covenants or agreements of the Seller contained herein, including without limitation those set forth in Article 7, (d) the failure of any portion of the Seller’s Expenses or Transaction Liabilities to be paid at Closing, (e) any Lien on any property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary after the Closing as a result of matters existing or relating to any period prior to the Closing (other than Liens approved by the prior written consent of the Purchaser or Liens arising as a result of the Company’s failure after the Closing to make payments first due after Closing required under any Material Contracts listed on Schedule 3.9 or entered into in accordance with this Agreement), or (f) any litigation, suit, proceeding, arbitration, audit by the Service or other taxing authority or investigation with respect to the affairs of the Company or any Subsidiary prior to the Closing, including without limitation any matter described on Schedule 3.19(b) and Schedule 3.20.
 
51

 
10.4.  Indemnification by the Purchaser. If the Closing occurs, then subject to applicable limitations set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions and limitations in this Article 10, the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold the Seller and its Affiliates harmless from and against all Losses arising out of, resulting from or relating to (a) any breach or violation, or the inaccuracy, of any of the representations or warranties of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any breach or violation of the covenants or agreements of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement required to be performed prior to or at the Closing, or (c) any breach or violations of covenant or agreements of the Purchaser contained herein. The Seller shall not be entitled to recover any Losses for breach of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained herein (i) unless and until the Seller’s aggregate claims therefor exceed $250,000, at which time the Seller shall be entitled to recover Losses for all claims in excess of such amount, or (ii) absent fraud or willful misconduct, for an aggregate amount in excess of $8,500,000; provided, that claims for breach of any of the Specified Representations made by the Purchaser shall not be subject to the foregoing limits and shall not be included in the determination of whether the limit in clause (ii) has been reached.
 
10.5.  Procedures for Indemnification of Third Party Claims.
 
(a) A party or parties entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to a third party claim (the “Indemnified Party”) will give the party or parties required to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifier”) prompt written notice of any legal proceeding, claim or demand instituted by any third party (in each case, a “Claim”) in respect of which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder.
 
(b) If the Indemnifier provides written notice to the Indemnified Party stating that the Indemnifier is responsible for the entire Claim within 10 days after the Indemnifier’s receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party of such Claim, the Indemnifier shall have the right, at the Indemnifier’s expense, to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Claim and to have the Indemnified Party represented by counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, selected by the Indemnifier, if the ad damnum is less than or equal to the amount of Losses for which the Indemnifier is liable under this Article 10; provided that the Indemnifier may not assume control of the defense of a suit or proceeding involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnified Party; provided further, that the Indemnified Party may participate in any proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its expense; provided further, that the Purchaser, at any time when it believes in good faith that any Claim is having or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, may assume the defense and settlement of such Claim in good faith, with counsel of its choice, and be fully indemnified for the amount of Losses incurred in such defense or settlement to the extent provided in this Article 10; and provided further, that the Indemnifier may not enter into a settlement of any Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides the Indemnified Party with a full release from such Claim and requires no more than a monetary payment for which the Indemnified Party is fully indemnified. Without limiting any other remedy the Purchaser may have at law or in equity, the Purchaser shall be entitled to enforce this Section 10.5 pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. For clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 10, the procedures set forth in Article 7 shall govern the matters covered by Article 7 to the extent the provisions of this Article 10 are inconsistent with those of Article 7.
 
52

 
(c) The parties will cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense of any Claim.
 
10.6.  Right of Set-Off. If the Seller has not satisfied in cash any indemnification obligation owed by the Seller hereunder, the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates may, at their discretion, satisfy the unpaid portion of such obligation by, to the extent permitted by law, setting-off against any amounts due and owing from the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to any of the Seller; provided that the Purchaser has first used commercially reasonable efforts to recover such amount from the Escrow Fund, if available; and provided further that the Purchaser shall not be entitled to set-off pursuant to this Section 10.6 against any amounts due pursuant to the Management Contract. Any amounts that the Seller wishes to set-off pursuant to this Section 10.6 will, to the extent that the Purchaser would otherwise then be required to pay such amount to the Seller, be placed into an escrow account to be held by a Person that is not an Affiliate of any party hereto and will remain therein until (a) the escrow agent shall receive written instructions from the Purchaser and the Seller (or their respective successors or assigns) as to the disbursement of some or all of the escrowed amount or (b) such escrow agent shall be otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
10.7.  Adjustment to Purchase Price. All indemnification payments paid pursuant to this Article shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price.
 
10.8.  Exclusive Remedy. The parties agree that, in the absence of fraud or willful misconduct, indemnification under Article 7 and this Article 10 shall be their exclusive remedy after the Closing for Losses in connection with the Transactions. The foregoing shall not affect the ability of a party to seek specific performance, an injunction or another equitable remedy specifically contemplated by this Agreement.

No waiver of any term or provision hereof shall be effective unless in writing signed by the party waiving such term or provision. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights provided hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies provided by law.
 
11.4.  Expenses. All legal and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, provided, however, that if the Closing occurs the Seller shall be responsible for the Seller’s Expenses and the Transaction Liabilities.
 
11.5.  Successors and Assigns. This Agreement, and all provisions hereof, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, provided that this Agreement may not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto except that (a) the indemnification and other rights hereunder of a party may be assigned to any bank or other financial institution which is or becomes a lender to the Purchaser or the Company or any of their respective successors and assigns and (b) this Agreement may be assigned by the Purchaser to any of its Affiliates or to any Person acquiring a material portion of the assets, business or securities of the Company or Purchaser, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or securities or otherwise.
 
11.6.  Entire Agreement.

In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises under any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement or documents contemplated herein, this Agreement and such other agreements or documents shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties thereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authoring any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreements or documents contemplated herein.
 
11.12.   Publicity. Except for the press release to be issued by the Purchaser upon execution of this Agreement and pending the Closing, no party shall issue a press release or make any other public announcement concerning the Transactions without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and the Company; provided, however, that a party may, without the prior consent of the other party, issue such a press release or make such public disclosure as may upon the advice of counsel be required by law if it has used reasonable efforts to consult first with the other party; and provided further that nothing contained herein shall restrict the ability of the Purchaser to make such disclosures as may be required under applicable securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange; provided that the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent practicable, to provide in advance a copy of the disclosure to the Seller and give the Seller a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon.

56

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

SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTE

Boston, Massachusetts
[__________] [__], 2007

For value received, Cold Spring Capital Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Maker”), hereby promises to pay to Seven Canyons Investors, L.L.C. (the “Payee”) or registered assigns at c/o Cavan Management Services, LLC, 15333 North Pima Road, Suite 305, Scottsdale, Arizona 85260, or such address as Payee shall provide Maker, the principal sum of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000), with interest as provided in this Note. This Note is executed by Maker and delivered to Payee in accordance with the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement by and among Maker, Payee, Sedona Development Partners, LLC, David V. Cavan and Cavan Management Services, L.L.C. dated November [__], 2006 (the “Agreement”).

1. Principal and Interest; Maturity. This Note shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum; provided that, following an Event of Default (as defined below), this Note shall bear interest at the default rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. Interest on the Note shall be computed on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed, and all accrued but unpaid interest shall be payable semi-annually beginning on [_____] and on each [______] and [______] thereafter. Subject to prior prepayment in accordance with the terms hereof, and Section 5(a) hereof and the subordination provisions herein, Maker shall pay the principal balance of this Note, without set-off, deduction or counterclaim, together in each case with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on [________] [__], 2010. All payments of principal and interest on this Note shall be made by Maker in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., Phoenix, Arizona time, on the date such payment is due or, if such date is not a business day, then on the next succeeding business day, by wire transfer to the bank account designated by Payee in writing to Maker at least three business days prior to such payment date.

61

2. Prepayment. Maker shall have the right and privilege of prepaying all or any part of the principal of this Note at any time without notice, premium or penalty. All payments on this Note shall be applied first, to any outstanding charges hereunder, and then to accrued interest, and then to principal.

3. Subordination. Payee understands and agrees that all amounts payable under this Note, whether for principal, interest or expenses, and the enforcement of Payee's rights in respect thereof, shall be subordinate and junior to all Senior Indebtedness (as defined below). If any default occurs in the payment of the principal of or premium or interest on any Senior Indebtedness (whether as a result of the acceleration thereof by the holder of any Senior Indebtedness or otherwise) (a “Payment Default”), then during the continuance of such default and until such payment has been made or such default has been cured or waived in writing by the holder of the Senior Indebtedness, no payment of principal or interest or other amount on this Note shall be made by Maker or accepted by Payee and Payee shall not demand or exercise remedies to enforce or collect such amounts (but may accelerate this Note as provided in clauses (b) through (d) of Section 4 of this Note). In addition, no payment of principal or interest or other amount on this Note shall be made by Maker or accepted by Payee and Payee shall not demand or exercise remedies to enforce or collect such amount if the following three conditions shall exist: (i) any default other than a Payment Default occurs on any Senior Indebtedness, (ii) Payee has received written notice (“Default Notice”) of such default from Maker or the holder of such Senior Indebtedness and (iii) such default shall not have been cured by Maker or waived in writing by the holder of the Senior Indebtedness and less than 180 days shall have elapsed after the date of receipt by Payee of the Default Notice; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall affect the ability of Payee to accelerate this Note as provided in clauses (b) through (d) of Section 4 of this Note. The term “Senior Indebtedness” shall mean money borrowed (including without limitation all principal, interest (whether or not allowed in a proceeding), fees and all other amounts owing in connection therewith) from, or otherwise represented by notes payable to, a bank or other financial institution or institution in the business of lending money which is secured in whole or in part by any assets or property of Maker and/or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries. Any payments received by Payee in violation of the foregoing provisions shall be deemed to be held in trust by Payee for the benefit of the applicable payee of the Senior Indebtedness. Payee agrees, at the request of any payee of Senior Indebtedness, to execute such additional documents and instruments which any payee of Senior Indebtedness may reasonably request to carry out the foregoing and other customary subordination provisions. Except as set forth in Section 5(a) hereof, nothing contained in this Section 3 or elsewhere in this Note is intended to or shall impair as between Maker, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and Payee, the obligation of Maker, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to Payee the principal of and interest on this Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of Payee and the creditors of Maker other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein prevent Payee from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Note, subject to the rights, if any, under this Section 3 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash or other property of Maker received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Payee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness. In the event that Maker fails to make a payment on account of principal of or interest on or other amounts due in respect of this Note by reason of any provision of this Section 3, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder, and the fact that such failure resulted from the application of this Section 3 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of, or mitigating, such Event of Default.

62

4. Events of Default. In each case of the happening of any of the following events (each of which is herein sometimes called an “Event of Default”):

(a) default in the payment of any amount due under this Note for more than seven (7) days after the date when the same shall become due and payable;

(b) acceleration of the payment of any principal, interest or applicable premium, if any, due, prior to the stated maturity or payment date thereof, pursuant to any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or under one or more mortgages, indentures or instruments under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness of Maker or any subsidiary of Maker, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, in an aggregate amount which exceeds $5,000,000;

(c) Maker (i) is unable or admits in writing its inability to pay its monetary obligations as they become due, (ii) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iii) applies for, consents to, or acquiesces in, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, or other custodian for itself or its property or any part thereof, or in the absence of such application, consent, or acquiescence a trustee, receiver, or other custodian is appointed for Maker or its property or any part thereof, and such appointment is not discharged within ninety days; or

(d) Commencement of any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Title 11 of the United State Code, or commencement of any other bankruptcy arrangement, reorganization, receivership, custodianship, or similar proceeding under any federal, state, or foreign law by or against Maker and with respect to any such case or proceeding that is involuntary, such case or proceeding is not dismissed within ninety days of the filing thereof;

then, subject to Section 3 hereof, in every such Event of Default and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, this Note shall, at the option of Payee, immediately become due and payable, both as to principal, interest and any other amounts due hereunder without presentment, demand or protest, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or other evidence of such indebtedness to the contrary notwithstanding. Subject to Section 3 hereof, in case any one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, Payee may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained in this Note or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof or in and of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law. No right conferred upon Payee shall be exclusive of any other right referred to herein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. In the event that Payee shall exercise or endeavor to exercise any remedies hereunder, Maker shall pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith or in connection with any reorganization, bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation of Maker, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and Payee may take judgment for all such amounts in addition to all other sums due hereunder.

63

5. Miscellaneous.

(a) Pursuant to the provisions of Article 10 of the Agreement, Payee has agreed to indemnify Maker and its Affiliates (as defined in the Agreement) for certain Losses (as defined in the Agreement). Maker shall have the right (without prior notice and when permitted by law) to set-off or recoup all amounts due from Payee to Maker as indemnification for Losses by a dollar for dollar reduction in the principal amount of this Note and any interest hereunder subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 of the Agreement. For clarity, if Maker determines to make a claim for indemnification pursuant to Article 10 of the Agreement and elects to set off obligations owed under this Note in accordance with Article 10, Maker shall delay making any payment otherwise owed hereunder; provided, however, that if Maker’s good faith estimate of the maximum Losses (the “Estimated Amount”) is less than the outstanding principal amount of this Note, then, for purposes of determining any payment owed under this Note prior to such time as the claim is resolved, (i) the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be reduced by the Estimated Amount and (ii) interest payments shall be computed based on the outstanding principal balance reduced as provided in clause (i). When a final determination is made as to the indemnity claim, (A) the outstanding principal balance will be appropriately reduced (to the extent the claim is successful), (B) any interest in respect of outstanding principal shall be recomputed and, to the extent owed, paid based on the principal as adjusted and (C) to the extent that, after giving effect to any set off or reduction of this Note provided for herein, Maker shall be obligated to make any payment hereunder that would otherwise have been due on an earlier date, Maker shall make such payment within 10 days after the date on which the amount of the reduction is finally determined; provided that in no event shall Maker be required to pay any default interest, late fee or charge or the like or be considered in default so long as such payment is made in such 10-day period. For purposes of calculating Payee’s indemnification obligations (and any applicable caps and limitations set forth in the Agreement), only the amount of principal that is set off or reduced hereunder shall be included (that is, foregone interest shall not be considered payments made).

(b) The failure of Payee to exercise any of its rights hereunder or the waiver of such rights in any particular instance shall not be deemed a waiver of Payee’s right to accelerate upon a future default by Maker. No delay in the exercise thereof shall be deemed a waiver of such option, nor shall any notice of intention to exercise such option be necessary.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, Maker and all sureties, endorsers and guarantors of this Note waive demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, and all other notice, filing of suit and diligence in collecting this Note or enforcing any of the security henceforth, and agree to any substitution, exchange or release of any of such security or the release of any property primarily or secondarily liable hereon and further agree that it will not be necessary for any holder hereof, in order to enforce payment by them of this Note to first institute suit or exhaust their remedies against any Maker or others liable hereafter, or to enforce their rights against any security hereafter and consent to any extension or postponement of time of payment of this Note or any other indulgence with respect hereto, without notice thereof to any of them.

64

(d) This Note will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

(e) Maker agrees to pay on demand all reasonable expenses or other costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees, incurred by Payee in connection with the enforcement or collection against Maker of any provision of this Note, including in any state or federal bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding.

SUBORDINATED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
Convertible to Common Stock of Maker

Boston, Massachusetts
[____________] [__], 2007

For value received, Cold Spring Capital Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Maker”), hereby promises to pay to Seven Canyons Investors, L.L.C. (the “Payee”) or registered assigns at c/o Cavan Management Services, LLC, 15333 North Pima Road, Suite 305, Scottsdale, Arizona 85260, or such address as Payee shall provide Maker, the principal sum of Forty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($45,000,000), with interest as provided in this Note. This Note is executed by Maker and delivered to Payee in accordance with the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement by and among Maker, Payee, Sedona Development Partners, LLC, David V. Cavan and Cavan Management Services, L.L.C. dated November 3, 2006 (the “Agreement”).

1. Principal and Interest; Maturity. This Note shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum; provided that, following an Event of Default (as defined below), this Note shall bear interest at the default rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. Interest on the Note shall be computed on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed, and all accrued but unpaid interest shall be payable in cash on [___________], 2008 and semi-annually thereafter on each [______] and [______]. Subject to prior conversion or prepayment, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof, and subject to the terms and provisions of the Escrow Agreement (as defined in the Agreement) and Section 6(a) hereof and the subordination provisions herein, Maker shall pay the principal balance of this Note, without set-off, deduction or counterclaim, together in each case with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on [________] [__], 2011. All payments of principal and interest on this Note shall be made by Maker in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., Phoenix, Arizona time, on the date such payment is due or, if such date is not a business day, then on the next succeeding business day, by wire transfer to the bank account designated by Payee in writing to Maker at least three business days prior to such payment date.

67

2. Prepayment. Maker shall have the right and privilege of prepaying all or any part of the principal of this Note at any time without notice, premium or penalty. All payments on this Note shall be applied first, to any outstanding charges hereunder, and then to accrued interest, and then to principal.

3. Conversion. All of outstanding principal amount of this Note shall be converted into shares of the common stock of Maker (the “Common Stock”), on the basis of one share of such stock for each $6.4285714 (the “Conversion Price”) in principal amount of this Note (i) at Payee’s option at any time during the 30-day period commencing on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (as defined in the Agreement), but not thereafter, or (ii) automatically if at any time after the first anniversary of the Closing Date (as defined in the Agreement) the average daily closing price of a share of the Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange (or such other securities exchange as the Common Stock may from time to time be listed) during the preceding 20 trading days equals or exceeds the Conversion Price. Maker shall have no obligation to pay any interest on this Note accrued but unpaid at the time of conversion, and the requirement to pay such interest shall be deemed waived. Conversion pursuant to clause (i) above shall be effected by the surrender of this Note at the principal office of Maker (or such other office or agency of Maker in the continental United States as Maker may designate by notice in writing to Payee) at any time during such 30-day period during usual business hours, together with notice in writing that Payee wishes to convert all of the principal amount outstanding of this Note, which notice shall also include instructions for delivery of the Common Stock to Payee. Conversion pursuant to clause (i) above shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which this Note shall have been surrendered and such notice shall have been received, and conversion pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be deemed to have occurred upon the close of business on the last day in the 20-day trading period described in such clause (ii) above, and at such time (in either case, the “Conversion Date”) the rights of Payee with respect to the principal amount of this Note converted shall cease and Payee shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Conversion Date, Maker shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Payee certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by reason of such conversion registered in the name of Payee; provided, however, in the case of conversion pursuant to clause (ii) above, Maker shall not be obligated to deliver such certificates until Payee has surrendered this Note at the principal office of Maker (or such other office or agency of Maker in the continental United States as Maker may designate by notice in writing to Payee). The Conversion Price will be appropriately and equitably adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or similar event with respect to the Common Stock.

68

4. Subordination. Payee understands and agrees that all amounts payable under this Note, whether for principal, interest or expenses, and the enforcement of Payee's rights in respect thereof, shall be subordinate and junior to all Senior Indebtedness (as defined below). If any default occurs in the payment of the principal of or premium or interest on any Senior Indebtedness (whether as a result of the acceleration thereof by the holder of any Senior Indebtedness or otherwise) (a “Payment Default”), then during the continuance of such default and until such payment has been made or such default has been cured or waived in writing by the holder of the Senior Indebtedness, no payment of principal or interest or other amount on this Note shall be made by Maker or accepted by Payee and Payee shall not demand or exercise remedies to enforce or collect such amounts (but may accelerate this Note as provided in clauses (b) through (d) of Section 5 of this Note). In addition, no payment of principal or interest or other amount on this Note shall be made by Maker or accepted by Payee and Payee shall not demand or exercise remedies to enforce or collect such amount if the following three conditions shall exist: (i) any default other than a Payment Default occurs on any Senior Indebtedness, (ii) Payee has received written notice (“Default Notice”) of such default from Maker or the holder of such Senior Indebtedness and (iii) such default shall not have been cured by Maker or waived in writing by the holder of the Senior Indebtedness and less than 180 days shall have elapsed after the date of receipt by Payee of the Default Notice; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall affect the ability of Payee to accelerate this Note as provided in clauses (b) through (d) of Section 5 of this Note). The term “Senior Indebtedness” shall mean money borrowed (including without limitation all principal, interest (whether or not allowed in a proceeding), fees and all other amounts owing in connection therewith) from, or otherwise represented by notes payable to, a bank or other financial institution or institution in the business of lending money which is secured in whole or in part by any assets or property of Maker and/or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries. Any payments received by Payee in violation of the foregoing provisions shall be deemed to be held in trust by Payee for the benefit of the applicable payee of the Senior Indebtedness. Payee agrees, at the request of any payee of Senior Indebtedness, to execute such additional documents and instruments which any payee of Senior Indebtedness may reasonably request to carry out the foregoing and other customary subordination provisions. Except as set forth in the Escrow Agreement (as defined in the Agreement) and Section 6(a) hereof, nothing contained in this Section 4 or elsewhere in this Note is intended to or shall impair as between Maker, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and Payee, the obligation of Maker, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to Payee the principal of and interest on this Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of Payee and the creditors of Maker other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein prevent Payee from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Note, subject to the rights, if any, under this Section 4 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash or other property of Maker received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Payee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness. In the event that Maker fails to make a payment on account of principal of or interest on or other amounts due in respect of this Note by reason of any provision of this Section 4, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder, and the fact that such failure resulted from the application of this Section 4 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of, or mitigating, such Event of Default.
 
5. Events of Default. In each case of the happening of any of the following events (each of which is herein sometimes called an “Event of Default”):

(a) default in the payment of any amount due under this Note for more than seven (7) days after the date when the same shall become due and payable;

69

(b) acceleration of the payment of any principal, interest or applicable premium, if any, due, prior to the stated maturity or payment date thereof, pursuant to any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or under one or more mortgages, indentures or instruments under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness of Maker or any subsidiary of Maker, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, in an aggregate amount which exceeds $5,000,000;

(c) Maker (i) is unable or admits in writing its inability to pay its monetary obligations as they become due, (ii) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iii) applies for, consents to, or acquiesces in, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, or other custodian for itself or its property or any part thereof, or in the absence of such application, consent, or acquiescence a trustee, receiver, or other custodian is appointed for Maker or its property or any part thereof, and such appointment is not discharged within ninety days; or

(d) Commencement of any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Title 11 of the United State Code, or commencement of any other bankruptcy arrangement, reorganization, receivership, custodianship, or similar proceeding under any federal, state, or foreign law by or against Maker and with respect to any such case or proceeding that is involuntary, such case or proceeding is not dismissed within ninety days of the filing thereof;

then, subject to Section 4 hereof, in every such Event of Default and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, this Note shall, at the option of Payee, immediately become due and payable, both as to principal, interest and any other amounts due hereunder without presentment, demand or protest, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or other evidence of such indebtedness to the contrary notwithstanding. Subject to Section 4 hereof, in case any one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, Payee may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained in this Note or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof or in and of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law. No right conferred upon Payee shall be exclusive of any other right referred to herein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. In the event that Payee shall exercise or endeavor to exercise any remedies hereunder, Maker shall pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith or in connection with any reorganization, bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation of Maker, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and Payee may take judgment for all such amounts in addition to all other sums due hereunder.

70

6. Miscellaneous.

(a) Pursuant to the provisions of Article 10 of the Agreement, Payee has agreed to indemnify Maker and its Affiliates (as defined in the Agreement) for certain Losses (as defined in the Agreement). Maker shall have the right (without prior notice and when permitted by law) to set-off or recoup all amounts due from Payee to Maker as indemnification for Losses by a dollar for dollar reduction in the principal amount of this Note and any interest hereunder subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 of the Agreement. For clarity, it is agreed that no payment of interest shall be made on this Note so long as this Note shall be held in the Escrow Fund. If Maker, at a time when this Note is not held in the Escrow Fund, determines to make a claim for indemnification pursuant to Article 10 of the Agreement and elects to set off obligations owed under this Note in accordance with Article 10, Maker shall delay making any payment otherwise owed hereunder; provided, however, that if Maker’s good faith estimate of the maximum Losses (the “Estimated Amount”) is less than the outstanding principal amount of this Note, then, for purposes of determining any payment owed under this Note prior to such time as the claim is resolved, (i) the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be reduced by the Estimated Amount and (ii) interest payments shall be computed based on the outstanding principal balance reduced as provided in clause (i). When a final determination is made as to the indemnity claim, (A) the outstanding principal balance will be appropriately reduced (to the extent the claim is successful), (B) any interest in respect of outstanding principal shall be recomputed and, to the extent owed, paid based on the principal as adjusted and (C) to the extent that, after giving effect to any set off or reduction of this Note provided for herein, Maker shall be obligated to make any payment hereunder that would otherwise have been due on an earlier date, Maker shall make such payment within 10 days after the date on which the amount of the reduction is finally determined; provided that in no event shall Maker be required to pay any default interest, late fee or charge or the like or be considered in default so long as such payment is made in such 10-day period. For purposes of calculating Payee’s indemnification obligations (and any applicable caps and limitations set forth in the Agreement), only the amount of principal that is set off or reduced hereunder shall be included (that is, foregone interest shall not be considered payments made). In addition, if this Note is converted into Common Stock when not held in the Escrow Fund and Maker has made a claim for indemnification pursuant to Article 10 and sought to set off against this Note, Maker shall deliver to Payee a stock certificate representing the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 3 hereof less a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Estimated Amount divided by the Conversion Price; provided that if, when a final determination is made as to the indemnity claim, the actual Losses are less than the Estimated Amount, Maker shall deliver to Payee a stock certificate representing the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (y) the difference between the actual Losses and the Estimated Amount divided by (z) the Conversion Price; and the remainder of such shares shall be deemed forfeited by Payee and cancelled.

(b) The failure of Payee to exercise any of its rights hereunder or the waiver of such rights in any particular instance shall not be deemed a waiver of Payee’s right to accelerate upon a future default by Maker. No delay in the exercise thereof shall be deemed a waiver of such option, nor shall any notice of intention to exercise such option be necessary.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, Maker and all sureties, endorsers and guarantors of this Note waive demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, and all other notice, filing of suit and diligence in collecting this Note or enforcing any of the security henceforth, and agree to any substitution, exchange or release of any of such security or the release of any property primarily or secondarily liable hereon and further agree that it will not be necessary for any holder hereof, in order to enforce payment by them of this Note to first institute suit or exhaust their remedies against any Maker or others liable hereafter, or to enforce their rights against any security hereafter and consent to any extension or postponement of time of payment of this Note or any other indulgence with respect hereto, without notice thereof to any of them.

71

(d) This Note will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

(e) Maker agrees to pay on demand all reasonable expenses or other costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees, incurred by Payee in connection with the enforcement or collection against Maker of any provision of this Note, including in any state or federal bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding.

Exhibit 8.1(k)
 

ESCROW AGREEMENT
 
This Escrow Agreement is entered into as of [__________] [__], 2007 (the “Escrow Agreement”), by and among Seven Canyons Investors, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (the “Seller”), Cold Spring Capital Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”), and Mellon Trust of New England, N.A., a national banking association, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”). The Seller and the Purchaser are referred to herein collectively as the “Escrow Parties.”
 
Introduction

The Purchaser, Sedona Development Partners, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (the “Company”), the Seller, David V. Cavan and Cavan Management Services, L.L.C. have entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of November 3, 2006 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Purchaser will purchase the Securities from the Seller. Pursuant to Section 1.5 of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser shall deliver the Escrow Amount (as hereinafter defined) to the Escrow Agent as security for the indemnification obligations of the Seller under Article 10 of the Purchase Agreement. The Seller and the Purchaser desire to appoint the Escrow Agent as the escrow agent for the Escrow Amount, and the parties hereto wish to specify their respective rights and obligations with respect to the Escrow Account (as defined below) established under this Escrow Agreement.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.  Appointment of Escrow Agent. Mellon Trust of New England, N.A. is hereby appointed as Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment.
 
2.  Deposit of Escrow Amount. On the date hereof, the Purchaser shall deliver the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 1.5 of the Purchase Agreement and the terms and conditions hereof. The Escrow Amount shall be held hereunder by the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Account”) as security for the indemnification obligations of the Seller under Article 10 of the Purchase Agreement, as more specifically set forth therein. As used herein, the term “Escrow Amount” means the $1,000,000 of cash (the “Escrow Cash”) and $7,500,000 in principal amount of Convertible Notes (the “Escrow Note”) initially placed in the Escrow Account hereunder, together with all interest, dividends and other income earned and accrued with respect thereto, and any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Escrow Note (“Escrow Shares”), less amounts distributed from the Escrow Account from time to time in accordance herewith. The Escrow Note and the stock certificate representing any Escrow Shares will registered in the name of the Escrow Agent as nominee for the Seller. In the event that some or all of the Escrow Note or any Escrow Shares are to be released to the Seller pursuant hereto, the Purchaser shall cause such Escrow Note or the Escrow Shares, as the case may be, to be registered in the name of the Seller.
 
74

The Escrow Agent shall deposit any cash included in the Escrow Account in one or more interest-bearing deposit accounts at Mellon Trust of New England, N.A. in accordance with such written instructions and directions as may from time to time be provided to the Escrow Agent by the Purchaser until the such cash is released pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding any such written instructions or directions, the Escrow Agent shall not deposit any such cash in any accounts or instruments that have a maturity of more than 30 days. In the event that the Escrow Agent does not receive such written instructions, the Escrow Agent shall deposit any cash included in the Escrow Account in money market accounts at Mellon Trust of New England, N.A., in each case having maturity dates that permit payments to be made from the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms hereof. Deposits shall in all instances be subject to the Escrow Agent’s standard funds availability policy. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any loss due to interest rate fluctuation or early withdrawal penalty. The Purchaser and the Seller understand that deposits of the cash are not necessarily insured by the United States Government or any agency or instrumentality thereof, or of any state or municipality, and that such deposits do not necessarily earn a fixed rate of return. In no instance shall the Escrow Agent have any obligation to provide investment advice of any kind. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from any deposits made pursuant to this Section 2, other than as a result of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent.
 
3.  Disposition of Escrow Amount.
 
(a)  If, at any time on or prior to one year following the date of this Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Termination Date”), the Purchaser believes that it is entitled to indemnification from the Seller pursuant to Article 10 of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent and the Seller, prior to the Escrow Termination Date, a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail the facts constituting the basis for such indemnification claim (a “Claim”) and the amount sought therefor, or an estimate thereof, by the Purchaser from the Escrow Amount (a “Claimed Amount”). From the date that a Claim Notice is received by the Escrow Agent (notice of such date shall be given by the Escrow Agent to the Seller), the Seller shall have 15 days (the “Notice Period”) to deliver to the Escrow Agent, with copies to the Purchaser, contrary instructions disputing the Claim Notice and specifying in reasonable detail why the Purchaser is not entitled to the Claimed Amount (a “Dispute Notice”). If the Escrow Agent does not receive a Dispute Notice prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) of the last day of the Notice Period, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release the Claimed Amount to the Purchaser according to the disbursement instructions in the Claim Notice. If the Escrow Agent receives a Dispute Notice prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) of the last day of the Notice Period, the Escrow Agent shall make payment to the Purchaser only with respect to the amount not disputed by the Dispute Notice and shall continue to hold in the Escrow Account the disputed portion of Claimed Amount described in the Dispute Notice until (x) it shall receive Joint Written Instructions (as defined below) as to the disposition of such sum or (y) it shall be otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction (a “Court Order”). Amounts to be released to the Purchaser under this Section 3(a) shall be released first from the cash in the Escrow Account and then, to the extent there remains no cash in the Escrow Account, from the Escrow Note or the Escrow Shares. If less than all of the Escrow Note is to be released hereunder, then the Purchaser shall, as a condition to such release, deliver to the Escrow Agent a new Escrow Note in the principal amount that is to remain in the Escrow Account after such partial release. If less than all of the Escrow Shares are to be released hereunder, then the Purchaser shall, as a condition to such release, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent a new stock certificate representing the Escrow Shares that are to remain in the Escrow Account after such partial release.
 
75

(b)  If the Purchaser believes that a Claim constitutes, or may upon final resolution constitute, a basis for a Claimed Amount hereunder, then the Purchaser may submit a Claim Notice even though such Claim may be uncertain or unresolved or the exact amount of any Claimed Amount may be unknown at the time of such Claim Notice. The Purchaser may estimate the maximum amount of exposure with respect to any Claim and such estimated amount shall constitute a Claimed Amount for purposes of this Section 3.
 
(c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Escrow Agreement, if the Escrow Agent receives written instructions from both of the Escrow Parties, or their respective successors or assigns, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, as to the disbursement of some or all of the Escrow Amount (the “Joint Written Instructions”), the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Amount pursuant to such Joint Written Instructions.
 
(d)  Promptly following the Escrow Termination Date, but in any event not later than three business days after the Escrow Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall release to the Seller an amount equal to the Escrow Amount as of the Escrow Termination Date less any Claimed Amounts required to be retained as of the Escrow Termination Date pursuant to Section 3(a) above. Any portion of the Escrow Amount that is held by the Escrow Agent beyond the Escrow Termination Date pursuant to the prior sentence shall be released by the Escrow Agent to the Seller or to the Purchaser, as the case may be, at such time as a Joint Written Instruction or a Court Order is delivered to the Escrow Agent.
 
(e)  This Escrow Agreement and all of the obligations of the Escrow Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the release of the entirety of the Escrow Amount by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 3.
 
(f)  For purposes of compensating the Purchaser for its Losses (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) pursuant to this Agreement, each Escrow Share, if any, shall be valued at $6.4285714 (the “Purchaser Stock Price”), and the Escrow Note and the Escrow Cash shall be valued at their respective face values. If some or all of the value to be distributed to the Purchaser (or to the Seller upon termination of the escrow) consists of Escrow Shares but such value is not evenly divisible by the Purchaser Stock Price, the number of Escrow Shares to be distributed will be rounded down to the next highest number of shares. In lieu of the fractional interest not distributed, the Purchaser shall furnish to the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent in turn will distribute to the Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable, cash equal to such fractional interest times the Purchaser Stock Price. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation with respect to the preceding sentence unless and until it has received sufficient cash from the Purchaser with respect to its duties and obligations pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Purchaser shall be deemed to have purchased the fractional interest with respect to which it has furnished funds to the Escrow Agent. In all events, the Purchaser shall so purchase only a whole number of shares. The Purchaser Stock Price shall be appropriately, equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or the like, and any securities received by the Escrow Agent upon a stock split, stock dividend, combination or the like shall be added to the Escrow Account and become a part thereof.
 
76

4.  Payments from Escrow Amount. All payments of cash from the Escrow Account shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the party receiving the distribution.
 
Any wire transfers shall be made subject to, and in accordance with, the Escrow Agent’s normal electronic funds transfer procedures in effect from time to time. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon all bank and account information provided to the Escrow Agent by any of the Escrow Parties. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to verify or otherwise confirm any written wire transfer instructions but it may do so in its discretion on any occasion without incurring any liability to any of the Escrow Parties for failing to do so on any other occasion. The Escrow Agent shall process all wire transfers based on bank identification and account numbers rather than the names of the intended recipient of the funds, even if such numbers pertain to a recipient other than the recipient identified in the payment instructions. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to detect any such inconsistencies and shall resolve any such inconsistencies by using the account number.
 
5.  Rights, Responsibilities and Liability of Escrow Agent.
 
(a)  This Escrow Agreement sets forth, exclusively, the duties of the Escrow Agent and no additional duties or obligations shall be inferred herefrom or implied hereby. The Escrow Agent’s duties shall be determined only with reference to this Escrow Agreement and applicable laws. The Escrow Agent is not charged with knowledge of or any duties or responsibilities under any agreement or understanding to which the agency created hereby relates, including, without limitation, the Purchase Agreement.
 
(b)  Except in cases of the Escrow Agent’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence, the Escrow Agent shall be fully protected (i) in acting in reliance upon any certificate, statement, request, notice, advice, instruction, direction, other agreement or instrument or signature reasonably and in good faith believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine, or (ii) in assuming that any person purporting to give the Escrow Agent any of the foregoing in accordance with the provisions hereof, or in connection with either this Escrow Agreement or the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, has been duly authorized to do so. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any mistake of fact or law or any error of judgment, or for any act or omission, except as a result of its bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any loss incurred upon any investment made under circumstances not constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence.
 
In connection with any payments that the Escrow Agent is instructed to make by wire transfer, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of (i) any Escrow Party or other person providing such instructions, including without limitation errors as to the amount, bank information or bank account number; or (ii) any other person or entity, including without limitation any Federal Reserve Bank, any transmission or communications facility, any funds transfer system, any receiver or receiving depository financial institution, and no such person or entity shall be deemed to be an agent of the Escrow Agent.
 
77

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby agreed that in no event will the Escrow Agent be liable for any lost profits or other indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages which the parties may incur or experience by reason of having entered into or relied on this Escrow Agreement or arising out of or in connection with the Escrow Agent’s services, even if the Escrow Agent was advised or otherwise made aware of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for acts of God, breakdowns or malfunctions of machines or computers, interruptions or malfunctions of communications or power supplies, labor difficulties, actions of public authorities, acts of war, or any other similar cause or catastrophe beyond the Escrow Agent’s reasonable control.
 
(c)  The Escrow Agent may consult with, and obtain advice from, legal counsel in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in acting in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel.
 
(d)  The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification of this Escrow Agreement unless it shall have specifically consented thereto in writing.
 
(e)  Except as provided in Section 5(i) hereof, the Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Amount and provide the other services described in this Escrow Agreement free of charge. Except as provided in Section 5(i) hereof, neither the Seller nor the Company shall have any obligation whatsoever to reimburse the Escrow Agent, from the Escrow Amount or otherwise, for any costs, fees or expenses including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel, which the Escrow Agent may incur in connection with the discharge of its duties hereunder or the exercise of or enforcement by the parties of their respective rights hereunder.
 
(f)  The Escrow Agent may resign by giving notice in writing to the Escrow Parties of such resignation, specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect (which shall in no event be earlier than 15 business days after the giving of such notice). Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation hereunder except to hold the Escrow Amount and the interest thereon as depository. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Escrow Parties shall agree in writing upon a successor escrow agent who shall be mutually acceptable to them; provided that, if the Escrow Parties are unable to agree upon a successor escrow agent within ten business days of receipt of such notice, the Seller and/or the Purchaser may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of such successor escrow agent or other appropriate relief and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon the parties hereto. Any such successor escrow agent shall deliver to the Escrow Parties and to the Escrow Agent a written instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon it shall succeed to all the rights and duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder, and shall be entitled to receive the Escrow Amount and the interest thereon to hold in escrow pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof. The Escrow Agent shall deliver all of the Escrow Amount and the interest thereon to the successor escrow agent approved hereunder.
 
78

The Escrow Parties acting together shall have the right to terminate the appointment of the Escrow Agent, specifying the date upon which such termination shall take effect. Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation to the Escrow Parties except to hold the Escrow Account as depository and not otherwise. The Escrow Parties agree that they will jointly appoint a banking corporation, trust company or attorney as successor escrow agent. The Escrow Agent shall refrain from taking any action until it shall receive joint written instructions from all of the Escrow Parties designating the successor escrow agent. The Escrow Agent shall deliver all of the Escrow Account to such successor escrow agent in accordance with such instructions and upon receipt of the Escrow Account, the successor escrow agent shall be bound by all of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement.
 
(g)  In the event of any dispute between the Seller and the Purchaser, or between the Escrow Agent and any one or more of the other parties hereto, with regard to the Escrow Agent or its duties, or any other matter concerning the disposition of the Escrow Amount, or in the event that the Escrow Agent, in good faith, is in doubt as to what action it should take hereunder, it may, without liability to any person, refrain from taking any action other than to keep safely the Escrow Amount and the interest thereon until the Escrow Agent shall receive a joint written instruction from the Escrow Parties.
 
(h)  The Escrow Parties authorize the Escrow Agent, if the Escrow Agent is threatened with litigation or is sued in connection with this Escrow Agreement, or, at the Escrow Agent’s option, in the event of a dispute or any good faith uncertainty in connection with this Escrow Agreement, to interplead all interested parties in any court of competent jurisdiction and to deposit the Escrow Amount with the clerk of that court. In the event of any dispute hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction and shall perform any acts ordered by such court.
 
(i)  The Seller and the Purchaser, hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all claims, suits, actions, proceedings, investigations, judgments, deficiencies, damages, settlements, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of an attorney chosen by the Escrow Agent) as and when incurred, arising out of or based upon any act, omission, alleged act or alleged omission by the Escrow Agent or any other cause in any case in connection with the acceptance of, or performance or non-performance by the Escrow Agent of any of the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Escrow Agreement, except as a result of the Escrow Agent’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. As among the Escrow Parties, it is agreed that any such indemnification obligation shall be shared fifty percent (50%) by the Seller and fifty percent (50%) by the Purchaser. In no event shall any obligation to indemnify the Escrow Agent under this Section 5(i) be satisfied or partially satisfied by the Escrow Agent setting off or claiming against, or retaining or attaching any of, the Escrow Amount or by non-performance by the Escrow Agent of any of its duties hereunder; provided that the parties agree that the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to withhold any distribution otherwise required to be made from the Escrow Account if any amounts owed to the Escrow Agent hereunder remain unpaid on the date such distribution would otherwise be made.
 
79

(j)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of Sections 5(b) and 5(i) hereof shall survive any resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent, and any termination of this Escrow Agreement.
 
6.  Customer Identification and Tax Withholding and Reporting. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each individual or entity that opens an account. Therefore, the Escrow Agent must obtain the name, address, taxpayer or other government identification number, and other information, such as date of birth for individuals, for each individual and business entity that is a party to this Escrow Agreement. For individuals signing this Escrow Agreement on their own behalf or on behalf of another, the Escrow Agent requires a copy of a driver’s license, passport or other form of photo identification. For business and other entities that are parties to this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent will require such documents as it deems necessary to confirm the legal existence of the entity.
 
At the time of or prior to execution of this Escrow Agreement, any Escrow Party providing a tax identification number for tax reporting purposes shall provide to the Escrow Agent a completed IRS Form W-9 (for United States Persons) or IRS Form W-8 (for non-United States persons), or any successor forms with respect to any interest or gains earned on the Escrow Amount, and every individual executing this Escrow Agreement on behalf of an Escrow Party shall provide to the Escrow Agent a copy of a driver’s license, passport or other form of photo identification acceptable to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Parties agree to provide to the Escrow Agent such organizational documents and documents establishing the authority of any individual acting in a representative capacity as the Escrow Agent may require in order to comply with its established practices, procedures and policies.
 
The Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to report all interest and other income earned on the Escrow Amount in accordance with the Form W-9 information provided to the Escrow Agent by the Seller. The Escrow Parties understand that, in the event Seller’s tax identification number is not certified to the Escrow Agent, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, may require withholding of a portion of any interest or other income earned on the Escrow Account.
 
It is understood that the Escrow Agent shall be responsible for income reporting only with respect to income earned or investment of funds which are a part of the Escrow Amount, and is not responsible for any other reporting.
 
7.  Accounting. On a monthly basis, the Escrow Agent shall render a written statement setting forth the balance of the Escrow Account, all interest earned and all distributions made, which statements shall be delivered to the following addresses:

Manager shall have the authority to enter into contracts and advance bookings for the operation and supply of the Residence Club, provided that any contract or booking not entered into in the ordinary course of business or which has any of the following terms shall require the prior written consent of the Owner:

·  
having a term or provisions continuing for more than one year or beyond the scheduled end of the term of the Agreement;

·  
containing any non competition, non solicitation or exclusivity provision or provisions which would interfere with the ability of the Residence Club to close or continue doing business with the other contracting party after termination of the Agreement;

89

 
·  
annual payments in excess of $25,000 per year or $5,000 per month;

·  
representing an advance booking (i) at a discount from prevailing rates, or (ii) which covers a period after the end of the term of the Agreement; or

·  
containing terms not customary for the private residence club industry or which are less favorable in the aggregate than comparable terms offered to other private residence clubs owned or managed by the Manager or its affiliates.

12. Taxes. Manager shall pay (or cause to be paid through Adminstaff or another acceptable third party) when due all taxes, governmental charges and levies arsing from the operation of the Residence Club, including without limitation payroll taxes with respect to Residence Club personnel, sales and room taxes, and property taxes, provided that such taxes shall be paid out of funds in the Operating Account referred to below. Manager shall indemnify Owner against any claims, fines, penalties or other costs resulting from Manager’s failure to pay any such taxes, charges or levies when due, except in the case where there were insufficient funds in the Operating Account to pay such taxes, charges or other levies when due, the Manager has notified the Owner in advance of the funds needed to make such payment when due and the Owner fails timely to pay such taxes, charges or other levies directly or to provide such amounts to Manager for payment thereof.

13.  Most Favored Nation; Affiliate Transactions. The Owner and the Residence Club will be afforded “most favored nation” treatment with respect to all purchases or provision of services or supplies by the Manager or any of its affiliates. Manager may combine purchases of services and supplies for the Residence Club with purchases for other facilities owned or managed by the Manager or its affiliates, provided that the Residence Club shall purchase such services and supplies on the best pricing and other terms (adjusted reasonably for volume and location) on which such services and supplies are made available to other properties owned and/or managed by the Manager and its affiliates, provided that such pricing and other terms are at least as favorable to the Residence Club as could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party in an arm’s length transaction and that the services and supplies so provided are of a kind, quality and quantity consistent with the Club Standard. All rebates, discounts and cost savings shall be passed through to and for the account of the Owner.

14. Pro Rations. In each case where the Manager or an affiliate allocates or pro rates amounts between the Residence Club and other facilities, the Agreement will specify the basis on which such pro rata allocation is to be made or the parties will agree in writing on such allocation.

15. Force Majeure. The obligations of the parties will be subject to events of force majeure. If an event of force majeure causes the Manager to suspend or interrupt services, the Manager and its affiliates shall allocate the available resources among all facilities it owns or manages on a reasonable basis, without giving preference or priority to any facility over the Residence Club.

16. Insurance. Each party will maintain the insurance coverage set forth in the Agreement.

90

17. Intellectual Property; Names. The parties will each make symmetrically reciprocal representations, warranties and indemnities to each other with respect to software or other intellectual property provided by such party. Manager shall operate and market the Residence Club under such name or names as the Owner shall specify. The Owner shall have sole title to such names and the Manager shall not claim or purport to grant any right, title or interest in or to such names. Each party will maintain the other party’s confidential or proprietary information confidential and Manager shall use confidential or proprietary information of Owner only in the performance of the Agreement.

18. Title to Residence Club. Manager shall have no lien on or interest in the Residence Club or its revenue or profits or the Accounts, or any proceeds of insurance or eminent domain takings, and shall have only a contract claim against the Owner for amounts due Manager under the Agreement. In the event Manager becomes aware of any adverse claim against the Residence Club, it shall notify the Owner promptly and shall cooperate with the Owner in defending against such adverse claim. Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any valid adverse claim or interest from existing or arising with respect to the Residence Club.

19. Bank Accounts. All funds provided by Owner for construction, capital improvements or working capital and all revenue of the Residence Club shall be held, pending use thereof by Manager or Owner in accordance with the Agreement, in interest bearing accounts, in the name of the Owner, in such banking institutions as the Owner shall approve (the “Accounts”). All security and other deposits of the Residence Club shall be deposited by Manager in and held in a separate Account and such deposits may only be withdrawn by Manager if and when permitted or required under the documents under which such deposits were made. All revenue of the Residence Club shall be deposited by Manager in and held in a separate Account and such funds may only be withdrawn by Manager to the extent permitted by the Agreement. The Manager shall use the funds on deposit in an operating account (the “Operating Account”) to pay the expenses of the Residence Club incurred by the Manager in accordance with the Agreement and to pay the fees due to Manager under the Agreement. Prior to the effective date of the Agreement, the Owner shall make an initial deposit into the Operating Account in an amount reasonably determined by Owner to provide sufficient initial working capital for the Residence Club. All funds for construction and capital expenditures shall be deposited by Owner in a separate Account, and such funds may only be withdrawn by Manager with the prior written consent of Owner to fund construction and capital expenditures agreed to in writing by Owner. Reasonable house bank cash funds shall be maintained at the Residence Club for various cashiers as appropriate for making change. All payments made by cashiers shall be charged to the applicable line item, rather than miscellaneous expenses.

20. Licenses. To the extent permitted by the applicable licensing authorities, all licenses and permits shall be in the name of the Owner, and otherwise in the name of Manager. Manager shall, with the cooperation of Owner, arrange for and cause to be maintained in full force and effect and in good standing all licenses and permits required for the ownership and operation of the Residence Club.

91

21. Termination. As indicated in Section 4 above, the Agreement will have a term of ten years, subject to extension as provided in Section 4 and to earlier termination as provided in this Section. Each party shall have the right to terminate the Agreement in the event of (i) a breach by the other party of a material obligation under the Agreement and such party does not cure such breach within 30 days after notice thereof or, if such breach is not reasonably susceptible to cure within such 30 day period, if such party shall not have commenced to cure such breach within such 30 day period and, having commenced, shall thereafter not complete the curing within 60 days after notice, provided that if a party commits a material breach of the same or a similar provision of the Agreement three or more times in any 90 day period the other party may terminate immediately upon notice; (ii) the operation of the Residence Club is terminated or suspended for any reason beyond the reasonable control of the terminating party (including damage, destruction or eminent domain taking or suspension or revocation of licenses) for a period of more than 90 consecutive days; (iii) bankruptcy events of the other party or material default by the other party under a material agreement of the other party or acceleration of debt obligations, and (iv) other customary events of termination. In addition, the Owner may terminate the Agreement (x) at its option, upon payment to Manager of an amount equal to the Termination Fee or (y) at its option, if, on or before the third anniversary of the Agreement, Dave Cavan ceases for any reason (including death or disability) to be actively involved in the day-to-day operations of Manager, upon payment to Manager of an amount equal to one-half of the Termination Fee (i.e., $500,000). For purposes of the Agreement, the “Termination Fee” shall mean $1,000,000, if such termination occurs before the third anniversary of the Agreement, and shall decrease by $100,000 on such third anniversary and by an additional $100,000 on each anniversary thereafter. Manager may terminate the Agreement at any time after the third anniversary of the Agreement upon 180 days prior written notice to Owner given after such third anniversary.

22. Actions Upon Termination. Upon termination, the Manager shall surrender the Residence Club in good working order and condition and shall assign or arrange for the transfer or new issue to Owner or its designee of all licenses and permits relating to the Residence Club not already in the name of the Owner. Manager shall also turn over to Owner all books, records and accounts relating to the operation of the Residence Club and all of its personnel. Manager’s right to withdraw funds from the Accounts shall terminate upon termination of the Agreement. For a reasonable period of time following termination, Manager shall, at the request of the Owner, assist and cooperate in the transition of management of the Residence Club to such person as may be designated by Manager. Following termination, the Owner will assume and perform all contractual obligations arising after termination under contracts entered into by the Manager on behalf of the Residence Club in accordance with the Agreement.

23. Damages; Set Off Rights. Each party shall waive all rights to special, consequential, indirect, incidental or punitive damages and shall be entitled to collect upon a breach or termination direct damages only. Each party shall have set off rights; provided that such rights shall be limited in the case of Manager to the management fee payable under the Agreement.

92

24. Indemnification. To the extent not covered by insurance, each party shall indemnify the other against third party claims that are result from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnifying party or its affiliates (it being agreed that Manager is not an agent of Owner for purposes of this indemnification provision), (ii) obligations which are to be paid or satisfied by the indemnifying party under the Agreement, or (iii) in the case of the Manager as the indemnifying party, obligations incurred by the Manager outside the scope of its authority or in violation of the Agreement. The procedures relating to indemnification, including those with respect to the right to defend against and settle such third party claims, shall be substantially similar to those in the securities purchase agreement between Owner, Seven Canyons Investors, L.L.C., Manager and others.

25. Jurisdiction and Governing Law. The Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Arizona. Each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of Arizona for resolution of all disputes arising under the Agreement.

26. Termination of Obligation. The Agreement will provide that the obligations of Sedona Development, LLC to pay Manager $4,000 for each golf membership and fractional interest initially sold by it be terminated and waived.

At any time when the Company is eligible to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3, one or more Holders of at least 75% of the Registrable Securities may by written notice to the Company, request that the Company effect the registration on Form S-3 of a number of Registrable Shares for which the gross aggregate offering price is reasonably expected to be at least $2,500,000. Promptly after receipt of such notice, the Company will give written notice of such requested registration to all other Holders of Registrable Securities. The Company will then as provided in Section 4 use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register by such Holders, and all other Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register by other Holders of Registrable Securities by notice delivered to the Company within ten days after the giving of such notice by the Company.
 
2.2.  Postponement. The Company may postpone for a period of up to 90 days the filing of any registration required to be filed pursuant to this Section 2 if the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith determines that such postponement is necessary in order to avoid premature disclosure of a financing, acquisition, recapitalization, reorganization or other material transaction, the disclosure of which would have a materially detrimental effect on the Company; provided, however, that the Company may not exercise such right of postponement more than twice within any period of 365 days. If the Company elects to postpone the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2, two-thirds of the Holders of Registrable Securities who requested such registration statement may withdraw such request and upon such withdrawal, such request shall be deemed not to have been made for any purpose of this Agreement.
 
2.3.  Number of Requests; Form. The Company shall not be required to effect more than three registrations pursuant to Section 2.1. A registration requested pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be effected by the filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any other form which includes substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement on such form as currently constituted). No registration of Registrable Securities under Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a registration for any purpose of this Section 2.3 which shall not have become and remained effective in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time the demand for registration was made or if there shall have occurred a material adverse change in market conditions from those existing as such time in the good faith judgment of the Majority Participating Holders makes it undesirable to proceed with the proposed offering, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses, and, in such case, the withdrawn registration shall not count as a registration effected pursuant to Section 2.1.
 
96

3.  Piggyback Registration. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act, for its own account or for the account of any holder of its securities other than Registrable Securities, on a form which would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, the Company will each such time give notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so. Such notice shall describe such securities and specify the form, manner and other relevant aspects of such proposed registration. Any such Holder may, by written response delivered to the Company within ten days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, request that all or a specified part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder be included in such registration. The Company thereupon will use commercially reasonable efforts as a part of its filing of such form to cause to be included in such registration under the Securities Act all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders of Registrable Securities, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the methods to be used by the Company or other holders of securities in such registration) of the Registrable Securities to be so registered. The Company shall be under no obligation to complete any offering of its securities it proposes to make and shall incur no liability to any Holder for its failure to do so. No registration of Registrable Securities effected under this Section 3 shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations to effect a registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1.
 
3.1.  Excluded Transactions. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 3 incidental to the registration of any of its securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, exchange offers, dividend reinvestment plans or stock option or other employee benefit plans.
 
3.2.  Payment of Expenses. The Company hereby agrees to pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 3.
 
4.  Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Sections 2 or 3 hereof, the Company, subject to the terms of Sections 2 and 3, will as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
 
4.1.  Registration Statement. Prepare and (in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 2 hereof, promptly and in any event within 30 days after a request for registration is delivered to the Company under Section 2.1) file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as possible thereafter. Such registration statement shall be for an offering to be made on a continuous or delayed basis (a so-called “shelf registration statement”) if the Company is eligible for the use thereof and the Majority Participating Holders have requested a shelf registration statement.
 
97

4.2.  Amendments and Supplements to Registration Statement. Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, covered by such registration statement until the later of (i) such time as all such Registrable Securities have been disposed of by the seller or sellers thereof in accordance with the intended methods of disposition set forth in such registration statement (but in no event for a period of more than one year after such registration statement becomes effective, which one year period shall be extended by the number of days that the sale of Registrable Securities is suspended as described in Section 2.2) or (ii) the expiration of the time when a prospectus relating to such registration is required to be delivered under the Securities Act.
 
4.3.  Furnishing of Copies of Registration Statements and Other Documents. Furnish to each seller of such Registrable Securities such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus), each in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, such documents incorporated by reference in such registration statement or prospectus and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities of such seller covered by such registration statement.
 
4.4.  State Securities Laws. Use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the sellers shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable each seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities of such seller covered by such registration statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or subject the Company to taxation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or would not otherwise be so subject.
 
4.5.  Opinion of Counsel. Use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all legal opinions, auditors’ consents and expert’s cooperation as may reasonably be required.
 
4.6.  Notice of Prospectus Defects. Promptly notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such seller prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.
 
98

4.7.  Stop Orders. In the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement, or any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Registrable Securities included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order.
 
4.8.  Exchange Listing. Use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which any equity security of the Company is then listed.
 
5.  Additional Procedures; Holder Lockups; Cutbacks; Other Agreements.
 
5.1.  Piggyback Registrations Pursuant to Section 3. In connection with the exercise of any registration rights granted to Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3 hereof, if the registration is to be effected by means of an underwritten offering of Common Stock on a firm commitment basis, the Company may condition participation in such registration by such Holders upon inclusion of the Registrable Securities being so registered in such underwriting. The Holders of Registrable Securities participating in any registration pursuant to Section 3 shall be parties to the underwriting agreement and other agreements and instruments entered into by the Company and any other selling stockholders in connection therewith containing, among other things, such representations and warranties by the Company and such participating sellers and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including, without limitation, customary indemnity and contribution provisions.
 
5.2.  Selling Holder Lockups. In each registration pursuant to Section 3 effected on a firm commitment underwritten offering, each Holder agrees that, as a condition to the inclusion of any of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such offering, if reasonably requested by the managing underwriter, subject to any early release provisions that apply generally to stockholders of the Company, such Holder shall not, for a period from 15 days prior to the effective date of the registration statement until up to 90 days after such effective date, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of any Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock; provided that if (i) during the last 17 days of the lock-up period, the Company releases earnings results or publicly announces other material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or (ii) prior to the expiration of the lock-up period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the lock-up period, then, in each case, the lock-up period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of the earnings results or the public announcement of the material news or the occurrence of the material event, as applicable. If reasonably requested by the managing underwriter, each Holder shall confirm its agreement as to the foregoing in writing in such form as shall be reasonably satisfactory to such managing underwriter.
 
5.3.  Cutbacks. If the managing underwriter advises the Company that the number of shares to be included in a registration pursuant to Section 3 should be limited due to market conditions or otherwise,
 
99

 
(a)  
if the registration was initiated by the Company, (i) all shares of securities held by stockholders of the Company other than Holders of Registrable Securities and Pari Passu Holders shall first be excluded, (ii) next, if additional shares must be excluded from such registration, Holders of Registrable Securities and Pari Passu Holders shall share pro rata in the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be excluded from such registration pursuant to this clause, such sharing to be based on the respective numbers of Registrable Securities owned by such holders, and (iii) if additional shares must be excluded from such registration, shares to be issued by the Company shall be excluded; and
 
(b)  
if the registration was initiated by stockholders of the Company other than Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to registration rights granted to such holders in compliance with Section 8, (i) shares to be issued by the Company shall first be excluded, (ii) next, if additional shares must be excluded from such registration, Holders of Registrable Securities shall share pro rata in the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be excluded from such registration pursuant to this clause (ii), such sharing to be based on the respective numbers of Registrable Securities owned by such holders, and (iii) finally, if additional shares must be excluded from such registration, shares to be registered by stockholders of the Company other than Holders of Registrable Securities shall be excluded pro rata based on the number of shares to be determined or as agreed by such other stockholders among themselves.
 
5.4.  Other Agreements.
 
5.4.1.  Participation by Selling Holders. The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish the Company such information regarding such seller and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing and which shall be required by the Securities Act (or similar state laws) or by the Commission in connection therewith.
 
5.4.2.  Discontinue Selling. Each seller of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon written notice of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in any registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or upon the issuance of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement, such seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until such seller is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and if applicable is furnished with a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 4.6 hereof. If the Company shall give any notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a prospectus, the Company shall extend the period of time during which the Company is required to maintain the registration statement effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date such seller either is advised by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed or if applicable receives the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4.6.

6.1.  Indemnities of the Company. In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof, and in connection with any registration statement or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries including, without limitation, reports required by and other documents filed under the Exchange Act, and other documents pursuant to which any debt or equity securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are sold (whether or not for the account of the Company), the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless each seller of Registrable Securities, their respective direct and indirect partners, members, stockholders, directors, advisory board members, officers, representatives on the Board of Directors of the Company, and each other Person, if any, who controls or is alleged to control any such seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such Person being referred to herein as a "Covered Person"), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Covered Person may be or become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other securities or other law of any jurisdiction, common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any registration statement under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, or any related summary prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or any other such disclosure document (including without limitation reports and other documents filed under the Exchange Act and any document incorporated by reference therein) or other document or report, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation of any federal, state, foreign or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and relating to action or inaction in connection with any such registration, disclosure document or other document or report, and will reimburse such Covered Person for any legal or any other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Covered Person in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, incorporated document or other such disclosure document or other document or report, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or any of its subsidiaries by or on behalf of such Covered Person expressly for inclusion therein. The indemnities of the Company contained in this Section 6.1 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Covered Person and shall survive any transfer of Registrable Securities.
 
101

6.2.  Indemnities to the Company. In the event of any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 or 3, each selling Holder will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall sign such registration statement and each other Person (other than such seller), if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, with respect to any statement in or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus included therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or any other such disclosure document (including without limitation reports and other documents filed under the Exchange Act and any document incorporated by reference therein) or other document or report, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such seller expressly for inclusion therein. Such indemnity contained in this Section 6.2 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling Person and shall survive any transfer of Registrable Securities.
 
6.3.  Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim of the type referred to in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party, give written notice to each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice to such indemnifying party as provided herein shall not relieve such indemnifying party of its obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, except and solely to the extent that such indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, each indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to such an indemnifying party), and after notice from an indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that (i) if there is a material conflict between the positions of such indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of such action or that there may be defenses available to such indemnified party different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party, then counsel for the indemnified party shall conduct the defense to the extent in good faith determined by such counsel to be necessary to protect the interests of the indemnified party and such indemnifying party shall employ separate counsel for its own defense, (ii) in any event, the indemnified party shall be entitled to have counsel chosen by such indemnified party participate in, but not conduct, the defense and (iii) the indemnifying party shall bear the legal expenses incurred in connection with the conduct of, and the participation in, the defense as referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above. If, within a reasonable time after receipt of the notice, such indemnifying party shall not have elected to assume the defense of the action, such indemnifying party shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense of the action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding. No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
 
102

6.4.  Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 hereof is unavailable to a party that would have been an indemnified party under any such Section in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each party that would have been an indemnifying party thereunder shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such indemnifying party on the one hand and such indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof). The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or such indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentence. The amount paid or payable by a contributing party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 6.4 shall include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
6.5.  Limitation on Liability of Holders of Registrable Securities. The liability of each Holder in respect of any indemnification or contribution obligation of such Holder arising under this Section 6 shall not in any event exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder (after deduction of all underwriters' discounts and commissions) from the disposition of the Registrable Securities disposed of by such Holder pursuant to such registration less any other damages paid by such Holder with respect to claims relating to such registration.
 
7.  Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 may not be assigned by any Holder to a transferee; provided, however, that a Holder may assign such rights to the members, partners or shareholders of the Holder in connection with the distribution of Registrable Securities to such members, partners or shareholders in proportion to their respective ownership interests in the Holder. Any transferee to whom rights under this Agreement are transferred shall (i) as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument by which such transferee agrees to be bound by the obligations imposed upon Holders under this Agreement to the same extent as if such transferee were a Holder under this Agreement and (ii) be deemed to be a Holder hereunder to the same extent as the transferring Holder.
 
8.  Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder to include securities of the Company in any registration statement, unless under the terms of such agreement such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in a registration statement only on terms pari passu or subordinate to the terms on which Holders of Registrable Securities may include shares in such registration.
 
103

9.  Future Changes in Registration Requirements. In the event that the registration requirements under the Securities Act are amended or eliminated to accommodate a “Company registration” or similar approach, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to reflect such changes and the intent of the parties hereto with respect to the benefits and obligations of the parties, and in such connection, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to provide Holders of Registrable Securities equivalent benefits to those provided under this Agreement.
 
10.  Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communica-tions required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be hand delivered or mailed postage prepaid by registered or certified mail or by facsimile transmission to the Company at:

11.  Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior communications or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to such subject matter.
 
12.  Amendments, Waivers and Consents. An amendment to any provision in this Agreement may be made, and the observance thereof may be waived, if the Company (a) shall obtain consent thereto in writing from the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities (the “Required Holders”) and (b) shall deliver copies of such consent to any Holders who did not execute the same; provided, however, that, without a Holder's consent, any such amendment or waiver shall not treat such Holder differently from any other Holder.
 
13.  Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the personal representatives, successors and assigns of the respective parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Company shall not have the right to assign its obligations hereunder or any interest herein without obtaining the prior written consent of the Required Holders, provided in accordance with Section 12.

15.  Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereby waive such provision to the extent that it is found to be invalid or unenforceable. Such provision shall, to the maximum extent allowable by law, be modified by such court so that it becomes enforceable, and, as modified, shall be enforced as any other provision hereof, all the other provisions hereof continuing in full force and effect.
 
105

16.  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
 
17.  Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word "including" shall mean including without limitation. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance.
 
18.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
 
TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, THE SELLER AND THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR THE SELLER WILL ASSERT, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY ISSUE IN ANY PROCEEDING, WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE, IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE SELLER AND THE COMPANY HEREUNDER, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE. The Company acknowledges that it has been informed by the Seller that the provisions of this Section 18 constitute a material inducement upon which the Seller is relying and will rely in entering into this Agreement. The Seller or the Company may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Section 18 with any court as written evidence of the consent of the Seller and the Company to the waiver of its right to trial by jury.
 
19.  Jurisdiction.
 
Any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware, and each of the parties hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceed-ing which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 10 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.
