GRANT OF LICENSE; TERM


2.1	Golf Courses; Rights and Privileges; Minimum Rounds; Trademark License.

(a) User and Owner Rights and Privileges.

(i) Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Owner grants to User, and User accepts from Owner, certain priority rights and privileges with respect to access and use of the golf course properties described on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto (each, a “Golf Course”; collectively, the “Golf Courses”) as more particularly set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto (collectively, the “User Rights and Privileges”). Such User Rights and Privileges are granted subject to all covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters of any nature, whether or not of record, affecting the Golf Courses or any portion thereof as of the Commencement Date and such subsequent covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters of any nature, whether or not of record, affecting the Golf Courses or any portion thereof that do not materially and adversely affect User’s rights under this Agreement or as may otherwise be agreed to in writing by Owner and User, whether or not of record, including any matters which would be disclosed by an inspection or accurate survey of the Golf Courses or any portion thereof. With respect to each Golf Course, Owner shall have the right to enter into any covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters of any nature, whether or not of record, affecting such Golf Course or any portion thereof without having agreed to same in writing with User but Owner may do so only if and to the extent the same does not render such Golf Course Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use. In addition, Owner shall have the right to develop, alter and/or improve portions of the property on which any Golf Course is situated for other uses but Owner may do so only if and to the extent that doing so does not render such Golf Course Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use.

(ii) In consideration of the foregoing grant of the User Rights and Privileges, User shall (A) pay to Owner the Membership Fee and the CES Use Fee (as more particularly described in Article III), (B) provide to Owner (or cause User’s Affiliates to provide to Owner) the rights and privileges set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto (collectively, the

“Owner Rights and Privileges”) and (C) sponsor (i.e., pay for, and use commercially reasonable efforts to refer to Owner), on a monthly basis, the Aggregate Minimum Rounds Per Month and, on an annual basis, the Aggregate Minimum Rounds Per Year (as more particularly described in Section 2.1(b) below).

(b) Minimum Rounds.

(i) User agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to refer to Owner, at each Golf Course, a minimum number of Complimentary Golf Rounds per calendar year as more particularly set forth on Exhibit E-1 attached hereto (collectively, the “Minimum Rounds Per Year”), which Minimum Rounds Per Year shall be apportioned among each calendar month during each such calendar year as more particularly set forth on Exhibit E-1 attached hereto (collectively, the “Minimum Rounds Per Month”), in each case as such amounts may be reduced by the applicable Minimum Rounds Reduction Amount as described in Section 7.3, Section 11.2(a), Section 11.2(b), Section 12.1(a), Section 12.1(b), Section 12.3 and Article XVI.

(ii) In consideration of the tee times that will be reserved (i.e., set aside) by Owner in order to accommodate the Aggregate Minimum Rounds Per Year and any Other Sponsored Rounds For The Year (as applicable), User shall pay to Owner the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee (as more particularly described in Article III). For the avoidance of doubt, User’s failure to refer to Owner, at each Golf Course, the Minimum Rounds Per Year shall in no way affect User’s obligation to pay to Owner the portion of the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee attributable to the aggregate of the Annual Minimum Rounds Fees for all of the Golf Courses.

(c) Trademark License. Subject to the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement, CLC hereby grants to Owner, and Owner hereby accepts, a worldwide, royalty-free and non-transferable right and sublicense, for a term of eight (8) years from the Commencement Date (the “License Term”), to use the Licensed Trademarks solely (x) in connection with the operation, advertising, marketing and promotion of the Rio Secco Golf Course and (y) on or in connection with the use, manufacture, marketing, promotion, distribution, offer for sale and sale of Products and Materials. Owner acknowledges and agrees that the Licensed Trademarks are owned by Rio and licensed to CLC. Owner therefore agrees to comply with the terms and conditions applicable to sublicensees of the Licensed Trademarks, as set forth on Exhibit H hereto. The sublicense granted pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) shall be non-exclusive, except that such license shall be exclusive as to CES and its subsidiaries (including CLC); provided, that CES and its subsidiaries (including CLC) may continue to use the Licensed Trademarks and reference the Rio Secco Golf Course as necessary to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, e.g., for promotional purposes in connection with the User Rights and Privileges set forth on Exhibit B hereto).

2.2 Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the Commencement Date and expire on the Expiration Date (i.e., the Term shall consist of the Initial Term plus all Renewal Terms, to the extent exercised as set forth in Section 2.3 below, subject to any earlier termination of the Term pursuant to the terms hereof). The initial stated term of this

Agreement (the “Initial Term”) shall commence on October 6, 2017 (the “Commencement Date”) and expire on July 31, 2035 (the “Initial Stated Expiration Date”). The “Stated Expiration Date” means the Initial Stated Expiration Date or the expiration date of the most recently exercised Renewal Term, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) if all of the Leases terminate in accordance with their respective terms, then, simultaneously with such termination of the Lease that terminates last, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, and (b) this Agreement may be terminated by User with respect to one or more Golf Courses, provided that any such termination pursuant to this clause (b) shall not relieve or diminish User’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Membership Fee as provided herein, which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement until all of the Leases have terminated in accordance with their respective terms, nor relieve or diminish Guarantor’s obligations under the Guaranty.

2.3 Renewal Terms. The Term may be extended for four (4) separate “Renewal Terms” of five (5) years each if (a) at least twelve (12), but not more than eighteen (18), months prior to the then current Stated Expiration Date, User delivers to Owner a “Renewal Notice” stating that it is irrevocably exercising its right to extend this Agreement for one (1) Renewal Term; and (b) no User Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date Owner receives the Renewal Notice or on the last day of the then current Term (other than an User Event of Default that is in the process of being cured by a Permitted User Lender in compliance in all respects with Section 17.2). Subject to the provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon User’s timely delivery to Owner of a Renewal Notice, the Term shall be extended for the then applicable Renewal Term. During any such Renewal Term, except as specifically provided for herein, all of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. After the last Renewal Term, User shall have no further right to renew or extend the Term. If User fails to validly and timely exercise any right to extend this Agreement, then all subsequent rights to extend the Term shall terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) if any right to extend the term of any of the Leases is validly and timely exercised pursuant to Section 1.4 of such Lease, then (A) User shall be required to exercise the corresponding right to extend this Agreement for the corresponding Renewal Term hereunder, (B) User shall be deemed to have validly and timely exercised such right to extend this Agreement described in the foregoing clause (A), and (C) this Agreement shall automatically be extended for the applicable Renewal Term without any further action by User, and (ii) if all of the rights to extend the terms of the Leases fail to be validly and timely exercised pursuant to Section 1.4 of each of the Leases, then all corresponding and subsequent rights to extend the Term hereunder shall terminate and User shall not have any right to extend this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

GOLF COURSE USE PAYMENTS


3.1	Payment of Membership Fee and CES Use Fee.

(a) Generally. During the Term, User will pay to Owner each of the Golf Course Use Payments and Additional Charges in lawful money of the United States of America and legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in the manner provided in Section 3.3. On the

Commencement Date, a prorated portion of the first monthly installment of the Membership Fee shall be paid by User for the period from the Commencement Date until the last day of the calendar month in which the Commencement Date occurs, based on the number of days during such period. Thereafter, the Membership Fee shall be payable by User in consecutive monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Membership Fee amount for the applicable Usage Year on the first (1st) day of each calendar month (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the first (1st) day of the month is not a Business Day), in advance for such calendar month, during that Usage Year. With respect to the CES Use Fee, (i) on the Commencement Date, a prorated portion of the first quarterly installment of the CES Use Fee shall be paid by User for the period from the Commencement Date until the last day of the calendar quarter in which the Commencement Date occurs, based on the number of days during such period, and (ii) thereafter, the CES Use Fee shall be payable by User in consecutive quarterly installments equal to one-fourth (1/4th) of the CES Use Fee amount for the applicable Usage Year on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the first (1st) day of the quarter is not a Business Day), in advance for such calendar quarter, during that Usage Year. The Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 3.5 below.

(b) Proration for Partial Usage Year. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, the Golf Course Use Payments shall each be prorated on a per diem basis as to any Usage Year containing less than twelve (12) full calendar months, and with respect to any installment thereof due for any partial months at the beginning and end of the Term.

3.2 Late Payment. User hereby acknowledges that the late payment by User to Owner of any of the Golf Course Use Payments or Additional Charges will cause Owner to incur costs not contemplated hereunder, the exact amount of which is presently anticipated to be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if any installment of any of the Golf Course Use Payments or Additional Charges payable directly to Owner shall not be paid within four (4) days after its due date, User shall pay to Owner on demand a late charge equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) of the amount of such installment or Additional Charges and (b) the maximum amount permitted by law. The Parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Owner will incur by reason of late payment by User. The Parties further agree that any such late charge constitutes Golf Course Use Payments or Additional Charges (as applicable), and not interest, and such assessment does not constitute a lender or borrower/creditor relationship between Owner and User. If any installment of any of the Golf Course Use Payments (or Additional Charges payable directly to Owner) shall not be paid within nine (9) days after its due date, the amount unpaid, including any late charges previously accrued and unpaid, shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate (from such ninth (9th) day after the due date of such installment until the date of payment thereof) (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, whether or not a claim for such interest is allowed or allowable in such proceeding), and User shall pay such interest to Owner on demand. The payment of such late charge or such interest shall not constitute a waiver of, nor excuse or cure, any default under this Agreement, nor prevent Owner from exercising any other rights and remedies available to Owner. No failure by Owner to insist upon strict performance by User of User’s obligation to pay late charges and interest on sums overdue shall constitute a waiver by Owner of its right to enforce the provisions, terms and conditions of this Section 3.2. No payment by User nor receipt by Owner of a lesser

amount than may be required to be paid hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of any such payment, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check tendered as payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Owner, in its sole discretion, may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Owner’s right to recover the balance of such payment due or pursue any other right or remedy in this Agreement provided.

3.3 Method of Payment. Each of the Golf Course Use Payments and Additional Charges to be paid to Owner shall be paid by electronic funds transfer debit transactions through wire transfer, ACH or direct deposit of immediately available federal funds and shall be initiated by User for settlement on or before the applicable Payment Date in each case (or, in respect of Additional Charges, as applicable, such other date as may be applicable hereunder); provided, however, if the Payment Date is not a Business Day, then settlement shall be made on the preceding Business Day. Owner shall provide User with appropriate wire transfer, ACH and direct deposit information in a Notice from Owner to User. If Owner directs User to pay any of the Golf Course Use Payments or any Additional Charges to any party other than Owner, User shall send to Owner, simultaneously with such payment, a copy of the transmittal letter or invoice and a check whereby such payment is made or such other evidence of payment as Owner may reasonably require. No amounts due and payable under this Agreement may be offset against any amounts due and payable under any other agreement.

3.4 Monthly Invoice. Within ten (10) Business Days after the end of each calendar month during the Term, Owner shall furnish to User an invoice for all Monthly Minimum Rounds Fees, Monthly Other Sponsored Rounds Fees and Additional Charges (if any) which are then payable hereunder (each, a “Monthly Invoice”). For the avoidance of doubt, each Monthly Invoice will be based solely on activities at the Golf Courses for the calendar month to which such Monthly Invoice relates, and any reconciliation credits or refunds will be applied against the invoiced amounts only after the corresponding end-of-quarter reconciliation (as more particularly described below) has been completed. Within thirty (30) days following the date of the giving of a Monthly Invoice (which shall be determined in accordance with Article XXIV hereof), User shall pay to Owner all amounts set forth on such Monthly Invoice. No delay by Owner in providing any statement, invoice or billing (including, without limitation, any Monthly Invoice or any Owner’s Statement) to User shall be deemed a default by Owner or a waiver of amounts due to Owner. User’s failure to object to any statement, invoice or billing by Owner (including, without limitation, any Monthly Invoice or any Owner’s Statement) within ninety (90) days after the date of the giving thereof (which shall be determined in accordance with Article XXIV hereof) shall constitute User’s approval of, and waiver of any objection to, such statement, invoice or billing and shall conclusively establish such statement, invoice or billing as being in accordance with this Agreement.

3.5 Payment of Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 3.5 shall be applicable with respect to the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee, and in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 3.5 and the other provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this Section 3.5 shall govern. Payments in respect of the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee shall be made by User to Owner, in consecutive monthly installments on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the giving of each Monthly Invoice (which shall be determined in accordance

with Article XXIV hereof) (in arrears for the calendar month to which such Monthly Invoice relates), and each such payment shall include the applicable Monthly Minimum Rounds Fees and the applicable Monthly Other Sponsored Rounds Fees for all of the Golf Courses (subject to quarterly reconciliation as set forth below). Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter during the Term, Owner shall furnish to User a statement showing (a) the number of Complimentary Golf Rounds attributable to such calendar quarter, (b) the year-to-date (as of the end of such calendar quarter) number of Complimentary Golf Rounds attributable to the calendar year of which such calendar quarter is a part, and (c) a calculation of the Complimentary Golf Rounds Reimbursement Amount (if any) which is then owing hereunder (each, an “Owner’s Statement”). Within thirty (30) days following the date of the giving of an Owner’s Statement (which shall be determined in accordance with Article XXIV hereof), Owner shall provide to User a credit against payments in respect of the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee next coming due (or a refund if at the end of the Term, subject to Article XIII) in the amount of the Complimentary Golf Rounds Reimbursement Amount (if any) set forth on such Owner’s Statement. For purposes hereof, the term “Complimentary Golf Rounds Reimbursement Amount” shall mean an amount equal to the difference of (i) the aggregate amount of the installment payments theretofore made by User to Owner in respect of the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee pursuant to this Section 3.5 during the applicable calendar year, minus (ii) the sum of (A) the aggregate amount of all Monthly Minimum Rounds Fees for all of the Golf Courses, on a year-to-date basis, payable for all of the months during such calendar year, through and including such calendar quarter, plus (B) the aggregate amount of the following for all of the Golf Courses: with respect to each Golf Course, the product of (1) the greater of (x) zero (0), and (y) the difference of (I) for such Golf Course, as applicable, the aggregate number of Complimentary Golf Rounds at such Golf Course, on a year-to-date basis, for such calendar year, through and including such calendar quarter, minus (II) for such Golf Course, as applicable, the aggregate number of Minimum Rounds Per Month for such Golf Course for all of the months during such calendar year, through and including such calendar quarter, multiplied by (2) the applicable Other Sponsored Rounds Charge for such Golf Course. For the avoidance of doubt, in performing any end-of-quarter reconciliation, with respect to each Golf Course, (aa) the aggregate year-to-date number of Complimentary Golf Rounds at such Golf Course will be applied first towards satisfaction of each of the Minimum Rounds Per Month for such Golf Course through and including the applicable calendar quarter (and, in connection therewith, some or all of the Other Sponsored Rounds For The Month at such Golf Course during the applicable calendar quarter may ultimately be applied to satisfy the Minimum Rounds Per Month of a preceding, or subsequent, month in the calendar year of which the applicable calendar quarter is a part); and (bb) if the aggregate year-to-date number of Other Sponsored Rounds For The Month for such Golf Course exceeds the aggregate year-to-date number of unsatisfied Minimum Rounds Per Month for such Golf Course, then the reconciliation will include an adjustment of the rate applicable to such excess for purposes of calculating the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee (i.e., the applicable rate with respect to such excess will be the applicable Minimum Rounds Rate for such Golf Course (rather than the then applicable Tee Sheet Rate)).

ARTICLE IV

ADDITIONAL CHARGES

Owner and User acknowledge and agree that the Golf Course Use Payments are in consideration of the User Rights and Privileges and the tee times to be reserved (i.e., set aside) to accommodate the Aggregate Minimum Rounds Per Year and any Other Sponsored Rounds For The Year (as applicable). In addition to the Golf Course Use Payments, User shall (a) pay Owner for charges for goods and services (other than greens fees) provided by Owner at the Golf Courses (e.g., food, beverages and pro shop merchandise) to, or at the written request (which may be via electronic mail) of, User, in each case in a manner consistent with past practice, and (b) be responsible for other Additional Charges in accordance with the applicable terms hereof.

ARTICLE V

The obligations of Owner and User hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements and each of the Golf Course Use Payments and all other sums payable by User hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement or by termination of this Agreement as to all of the Golf Courses as a result of all of the Leases having been terminated in accordance with their respective terms other than a termination of this Agreement by Owner pursuant to Section 13.2. Without limitation of the preceding sentence, the respective obligations of Owner and User shall not be affected by reason of, except as expressly set forth in Articles XI and XII, (a) any damage to or destruction of the Golf Courses or any portion thereof from whatever cause, or any Condemnation of the Golf Courses or any portion thereof or, discontinuance of any service or utility servicing the same; (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, User’s use of the Golf Courses or any portion thereof or the interference with such use by any Person; (c) any claim that User has or might have against Owner by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by Owner hereunder or under any other agreement between Owner and User or to which Owner and User are parties; (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, consolidation, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings affecting Owner or any assignee or transferee of Owner; or (e) for any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing. User hereby specifically waives all rights arising from any occurrence whatsoever which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law (i) to modify, surrender or terminate this Agreement, or (ii) which may entitle User to any abatement, deduction, reduction, suspension or deferment of or defense, counterclaim, claim or set-off against any of the Golf Course Use Payments or other sums payable by User hereunder, except in each case as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

PRESENT CONDITION & USE

7.1 Condition of the Golf Courses. User confirms that User has examined and otherwise has knowledge of the condition of the Golf Courses prior to and as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and has found the same to be satisfactory for its purposes hereunder, it being understood and acknowledged by User that, immediately prior to Owner’s acquisition of the Golf Courses and contemporaneous entry into this Agreement, User (or its Affiliates) was the owner of all of Owner’s interest in and to the Golf Courses and, accordingly, User is charged with, and deemed to have, full and complete knowledge of all aspects of the condition and state of the Golf Courses as of the Commencement Date. Without limitation of the foregoing and regardless of any examination or inspection made by User, and whether or not any patent or latent defect or condition was revealed or discovered thereby, User is using the Golf Courses “as is” in its present condition. Without limitation of the foregoing, User waives any claim or action against Owner in respect of the condition of the Golf Courses including any defects or adverse conditions not discovered or otherwise known by User as of the Commencement Date. OWNER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE GOLF COURSES OR ANY PART THEREOF, INCLUDING AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE. This Section 7.1 shall not be construed to limit Owner’s express indemnities made hereunder.


7.2	Use of the Golf Courses. During the Term, each Golf Course shall be used for the Primary Intended Use.

7.3 Ground Leases.

(a) Subject to Section 7.3(b) and Section 7.3(c) below, in the event of cancellation or termination of any Ground Lease for any reason whatsoever whether voluntary or involuntary (by operation of law or otherwise) prior to the Expiration Date (other than the cancellation or termination of a Ground Lease entered into in connection with a sale-leaseback transaction by Owner (other than if such cancellation or termination resulted from User’s default under this Agreement), which cancellation or termination results in the Golf Course leased under such Ground Lease no longer being subject to this Agreement), then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and User’s obligation to pay each of the Golf Course Use Payments (excluding the portion of the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee attributable to such Ground Leased Golf Course) and all Additional Charges required by this Agreement, and all other obligations of User hereunder (other than such obligations

of User hereunder that concern solely the applicable Ground Leased Golf Course demised under the affected Ground Lease (including, without limitation, the obligations of User hereunder with respect to the portion of the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee attributable to such Ground Leased Golf Course), which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall under no circumstances include or be deemed to include the obligations of User hereunder with respect to all or any portion of the Membership Fee), shall continue unabated (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Minimum Rounds Per Month and the Minimum Rounds Per Year shall each be adjusted in accordance with the Minimum Rounds Reduction Amount (and the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee shall be re-determined in connection therewith)); provided that if Owner enters into a replacement lease with respect to the applicable Ground Leased Golf Course on substantially similar terms to those of such cancelled or terminated Ground Lease, then such replacement lease shall automatically become a Ground Lease hereunder and such Ground Leased Golf Course shall remain part of the Golf Courses hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create, or be construed as creating, any privity of contract or privity of estate between the lessor under any applicable Ground Lease (in each case, the “Ground Lessor”) and User.

(b) With respect to any Ground Leased Golf Course, the Ground Lease for which has an expiration date (taking into account any renewal options exercised thereunder as of the Commencement Date or hereafter exercised) prior to the Expiration Date, this Agreement shall expire solely with respect to such Ground Leased Golf Course concurrently with such Ground Lease expiration date (taking into account the following sentences of this Section 7.3(b)). There shall be no reduction in any of the Golf Course Use Payments by reason of such expiration with respect to, and the corresponding removal from this Agreement of, any such Ground Leased Golf Course, except that the portion of the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee attributable to such Ground Leased Golf Course shall no longer constitute a part of the Golf Course Use Payments (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Minimum Rounds Per Month and the Minimum Rounds Per Year shall each be adjusted in accordance with the Minimum Rounds Reduction Amount (and the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee shall be re-determined in connection therewith)). Unless all of the rights to extend the terms of the Leases fail to be validly and timely exercised pursuant to Section 1.4 of each of the Leases, Owner (as ground lessee) shall be required to (at the appropriate times) exercise all renewal options contained in each Ground Lease so as to extend the term thereof, and Owner shall provide User with a copy of Owner’s exercise of such renewal option.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that, despite any cancellation or termination of any Ground Lease for any reason whatsoever whether voluntary or involuntary (by operation of law or otherwise), Owner continues to be able to make available to User use of the applicable Ground Leased Golf Course demised under the affected Ground Lease for the Primary Intended Use, then all rights and obligations of Owner and User with respect to such Ground Leased Golf Course shall continue in full force and effect.

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement amends, or shall be construed to amend, any provision of the Ground Leases.

In the event that a Golf Course closes as a result of any restoration or renovation, User’s obligation to pay each of the Golf Course Use Payments and all Additional Charges required by this Agreement shall remain unabated during the period that such Golf Course is closed; except, however, if such Golf Course remains closed for six (6) consecutive calendar months, then, during the period commencing on the day immediately after the expiration of such six (6)-month period and ending on the day immediately preceding the date on which such Golf Course reopens, User shall not be required to (i) sponsor any portion of the Aggregate Minimum Rounds Per Month and/or Aggregate Minimum Rounds Per Year that would have been attributable to such Golf Course for such period had such Golf Course not been closed during such period, or (ii) pay any portion of the Monthly Minimum Rounds Fee and/or Annual Minimum Rounds Fee that would have been attributable to such Golf Course for such period had such Golf Course not been closed during such period.

User hereby represents and warrants to Owner that, as of the Commencement Date, User paid One Million Eight Hundred Ninety-Two Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty-Nine and 36/100 Dollars ($1,892,839.36) with respect to the Approved Capital Improvements.

ARTICLE X

INSURANCE

During the Term, Owner shall, at its own cost and expense, maintain the minimum kinds and amounts of insurance described on Exhibit I attached hereto. Such insurance shall apply to the ownership, maintenance, use and operations related to the Golf Courses and all property located in or on the Golf Courses. All policies shall be written with insurers authorized to do business in all States where the Golf Courses are located and shall maintain A.M. Best ratings of not less than “A-” “VII” or better in the most recent version of Best’s Key Rating Guide. In the event that any of the insurance companies’ ratings fall below the requirements set forth above, Owner shall have one hundred eighty (180) days within which to replace such insurance company with an insurance company that qualifies under the requirements set forth above. It is understood that Owner may utilize so called Surplus lines companies and will adhere to the standard above. In furtherance of the foregoing, Owner shall maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance (subject to customary deductibles and retentions) in such amounts and against such risks as are reasonable and customarily maintained by similarly situated companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations. Certificates of insurance, evidencing the insurance coverage required by this Article X shall be delivered to User as described on Exhibit I attached hereto. The Parties hereby confirm that the amounts and types of insurance that Owner has in effect as of the Commencement Date satisfies the requirements of this Article X.

Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the Golf Courses to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction and with materials and workmanship of like kind and quality or otherwise to Owner’s reasonable satisfaction shall be paid to Owner.

11.2 Owner’s Obligations Following Casualty

(a) Subject to Section 11.2(b) below, in the event of a Casualty Event with respect to any individual Golf Course, (i) Owner shall restore such Golf Course to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before such damage or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Owner and (ii) the damage caused by the applicable Casualty Event shall not terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that if the applicable Casualty Event shall occur not more than two (2) years prior to the then-Stated Expiration Date and the cost to restore the applicable Golf Course to the condition immediately preceding the Casualty Event, as determined by a mutually approved contractor or architect, would equal or exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the fair market value (as reasonably determined by the parties) of such Golf Course immediately prior to the time of such damage or destruction, then each of Owner and User shall have the option, exercisable in such Party’s sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Golf Course, upon written notice to the other Party hereto delivered to such other Party within thirty (30) days of the determination of the amount of damage and the fair market value (as reasonably determined by the parties) of such Golf Course and, if such option is exercised by either Owner or User, (i) this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Golf Course and Owner shall not be required to restore such Golf Course and any insurance proceeds payable as a result of the damage or destruction shall be payable in accordance with Section 11.2(c), and (ii) commencing upon the date of such termination, (A) the CES Use Fee shall be adjusted in accordance with the CES Use Fee Reduction Amount and (B) the Minimum Rounds Per Month and the Minimum Rounds Per Year shall each be adjusted in accordance with the Minimum Rounds Reduction Amount (and the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee shall be re-determined in connection therewith). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Casualty Event occurs (and/or if the determination of the amount of damage and/or the thirty (30) day period referred to in the preceding sentence is continuing) at a time when User could send a Renewal Notice (provided, for this purpose, User shall be permitted to send a Renewal Notice under Section 2.3 not more than twenty-four (24) months (rather than not more than eighteen (18) months) prior to the then current Stated Expiration Date), if User has elected or elects to exercise the same at any time following User’s receipt of such notice of termination from Owner, neither Owner nor User may terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.2(a).

(b) If the cost to restore any individual Golf Course exceeds the amount of proceeds received from the insurance required to be carried hereunder, then (i) Owner shall not be obligated to restore such Golf Course, and (ii) Owner shall, by written notice to User delivered to User within thirty (30) days of the final determination of the amount of proceeds received from the insurance required to be carried hereunder or otherwise maintained by Owner, elect to either (A) restore such Golf Course to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before such damage or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Owner (in which event this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect) or (B) terminate this Agreement with respect to such Golf Course (in which event (1) this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Golf Course and any insurance proceeds payable as a result of the damage or destruction shall be payable in accordance with Section 11.2(c), and (2) commencing upon the date of such termination, (x) the CES Use Fee shall be adjusted in accordance with the CES Use Fee Reduction Amount and (y) the Minimum Rounds Per Month and the Minimum Rounds Per Year shall each be adjusted in accordance with the Minimum Rounds

Reduction Amount (and the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee shall be re-determined in connection therewith)).

(c) In the event Owner is not required to, and does not elect to, repair and restore any applicable Golf Course, all insurance proceeds shall be paid to and retained by Owner free and clear of any claim.

11.3 No Abatement of Golf Course Use Payments. Except as expressly provided in Article IX or this Article XI, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and User’s obligation to pay each of the Golf Course Use Payments and all Additional Charges required by this Agreement shall remain unabated during any period following a Casualty Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for the avoidance of doubt, under no scenario, including, without limitation, the termination of this Agreement as a result of a Casualty Event or otherwise, shall User be relieved of its obligation to pay the Membership Fee before all of the Leases have terminated in accordance with their respective terms.

11.4 Waiver. User waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of any applicable Golf Course but such waiver shall not affect any contractual rights granted to User under this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII

12.1 Condemnation. Owner shall promptly give User written notice of the actual or threatened Condemnation or any Condemnation proceeding affecting any Golf Course of which Owner has knowledge and shall deliver to User copies of any and all papers served in connection with the same.

(a) Total Taking. If all of any individual Golf Course is subject to a permanent Taking, then (i) this Agreement shall automatically terminate with respect to such Golf Course as of the day before the date of such Taking, and (ii) commencing upon the date of such termination, (A) the CES Use Fee shall be adjusted in accordance with the CES Use Fee Reduction Amount and (B) the Minimum Rounds Per Month and the Minimum Rounds Per Year shall each be adjusted in accordance with the Minimum Rounds Reduction Amount (and the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee shall be re-determined in connection therewith).

(b) Partial Taking.

Rounds Per Year shall each be adjusted in accordance with the Minimum Rounds Reduction Amount (and the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee shall be re-determined in connection therewith).

In such event, (i) subject to receiving such Award, Owner shall accomplish all necessary restoration in accordance with the following sentence (whether or not the amount of the Award received by Owner is sufficient), and (ii) none of the Golf Course Use Payments shall be adjusted. Owner shall restore the affected Golf Course as nearly as reasonably possible under the circumstances to a complete architectural unit of the same general character and condition as existed immediately prior to the applicable Partial Taking or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Owner (but in any case consistent with the Primary Intended Use).

12.2 Award Distribution. The Award resulting from any Taking or Condemnation shall be paid to and retained by Owner free and clear of any claim.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for the avoidance of doubt, under no scenario, including, without limitation, the termination of this Agreement as a result of a Taking, Partial Taking or otherwise, shall User be relieved of its obligation to pay the Membership Fee before all of the Leases have terminated in accordance with their respective terms.

(a) An “Owner Event of Default” shall have occurred if Owner shall fail to observe or perform any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement, which failure materially and adversely affects User, and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from User, provided, however, if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and Owner shall have commenced to cure such failure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently proceeds to cure the same, then such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Owner in the exercise of due diligence to cure such failure, provided that, with respect to any failure to perform (i) that is still continuing on or after the first day of the sixth (6^th) Usage Year such cure period shall not extend beyond the later of such first day of the sixth (6^th) Usage Year or one hundred eighty (180) days in the aggregate, and (ii) that is first arising on or after the first day of the sixth (6th) Usage Year, such cure period shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in the aggregate; provided, further, however, that no Owner Event of Default under this clause (a) shall be deemed to exist under this Agreement during any time the curing thereof is prevented by an Unavoidable Delay, provided that upon the cessation of the Unavoidable Delay, Owner remedies the default within the time periods otherwise required hereunder.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Owner Event of Default, User may, except to the extent expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, exercise any right or remedy hereunder, at law or in equity available to User as a result of any Owner Event of Default, including, without limitation, seeking the remedy of specific performance.

13.4 Damages. If Owner elects to terminate this Agreement in writing upon an User Event of Default during the Term, User shall forthwith (x) pay to Owner all Golf Course Use Payments due and payable under this Agreement to and including the date of such termination (together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date the applicable amount was due), and (y) pay on demand all damages to which Owner shall be entitled at law or in equity, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the aggregate amounts of the Membership Fee and the CES Use Fee that would have been due and payable under this Agreement throughout the Term (including all Renewal Terms) but for such termination; provided, however, Owner’s damages with regard to unpaid Golf Course Use Payments from and after the date of termination shall equal, as liquidated and agreed current damages in respect thereof, the sum of: (A) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Golf Course Use Payments (excluding the portion of the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee attributable to the aggregate of the Annual Other Sponsored

Rounds Fees for all of the Golf Courses) that (if this Agreement had not been terminated) would have been payable hereunder after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Golf Course Use Payments (excluding the portion of the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee attributable to the aggregate of the Annual Other Sponsored Rounds Fees for all of the Golf Courses) loss that User proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (B) (x) the Golf Course Use Payments (excluding the portion of the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee attributable to the aggregate of the Annual Other Sponsored Rounds Fees for all of the Golf Courses) which (if this Agreement had not been terminated) would have been payable hereunder from the time of award until the then Stated Expiration Date, discounted to present value by applying a discount rate equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time of award, plus one percent (1%), less (y) the Golf Course Use Payments (excluding the portion of the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee attributable to the aggregate of the Annual Other Sponsored Rounds Fees for all of the Golf Courses) loss from the time of the award until the then Stated Expiration Date that User proves could be reasonably avoided, discounted to present value by applying a discount rate equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time of award, plus one percent (1%) (it being understood the foregoing calculation of damages for unpaid Golf Course Use Payments applies only to the amount of unpaid Golf Course Use Payments damages owed to Owner pursuant to User’s obligation to pay Golf Course Use Payments hereunder and does not prohibit or otherwise shall not limit Owner from seeking damages for any indemnification or any other obligations of User hereunder, with all such rights of Owner reserved). As used in clause (A), the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Overdue Rate from the date the applicable amount was due.

13.5 Application of Funds. Any payments received by Owner under any of the provisions of this Agreement during the existence or continuance of any User Event of Default which are made to Owner rather than User due to the existence of an User Event of Default shall be applied to User’s obligations in the order which Owner may reasonably determine or as may be prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements.

13.6 Owner’s Right to Cure User’s Default. If User shall fail to make any payment or to perform any act required to be made or performed hereunder when due, in all cases, after the expiration of any cure period provided for herein, Owner, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may, but shall be under no obligation to, make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of User. All sums so paid by Owner and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Owner, shall be paid by User to Owner on demand as an Additional Charge.

13.7 Reduction of Minimum Rounds Per Month and Minimum Rounds Per Year. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Owner breaches its obligations under Schedule 1 to Exhibit B attached hereto to reserve (i.e., set aside) tee times for User’s (or User’s Affiliates’) guests’ use, then the applicable Minimum Rounds Per Month and the applicable Minimum Rounds Per Year shall each be reduced by the applicable number of tee times which Owner fails to reserve (i.e., set aside) for User’s (or User’s Affiliates’) guests’ use in accordance with Schedule 1 to Exhibit B attached hereto (and the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee shall be re-determined in connection therewith).

13.8 Miscellaneous.

(a) Suit or suits for the recovery of damages, or for a sum equal to any installment or installments of Golf Course Use Payments payable hereunder, or for any other sums payable by User to Owner pursuant to this Agreement, may be brought by Owner from time to time at Owner’s election, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Owner to await the date whereon this Agreement and the Term would have expired by limitation had there been no User Event of Default or termination.

(b) No failure by either Party to insist upon the strict performance of any agreement, term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance by Owner of full or partial payment of any Golf Course Use Payments during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such agreement, term, covenant or condition. No agreement, term, covenant or condition of this Agreement to be performed or complied with by either Party, and no breach thereof, shall be or be deemed to be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by the Parties. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Agreement, but each and every agreement, term, covenant and condition of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof. In the event Owner claims in good faith that User has breached any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Agreement, Owner shall be entitled to seek to enjoin such breach or threatened breach and shall have the right to invoke any rights and remedies allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though summary proceedings or other remedies were not provided for in this Agreement.

(c) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each right and remedy of a Party provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (subject to the limitations on the calculation of unpaid Golf Course Use Payments set forth in Section 13.4 above).

(d) Nothing contained in this Article XIII or otherwise shall vitiate or limit User’s or Owner’s obligation to pay the other Party’s attorneys’ fees as and to the extent provided in Article XXV hereof, or any indemnification obligations under any express indemnity made by User of Owner or of any Owner Indemnified Parties or by Owner of User or of any User Indemnified Parties as contained in this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIV

If there shall occur an Owner Licensing Event and any aspect of such Owner Licensing Event is attributable to a member of the Owner Subject Group, then User shall notify Owner as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such Owner Licensing Event (but in no event later than twenty (20) days after becoming aware of such Owner Licensing Event). In such event, Owner shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the other members of the Owner Subject Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to assist User and its Affiliates in resolving such Owner Licensing Event within the time period required by the applicable Gaming Authorities by submitting to investigation by the relevant Gaming Authorities and cooperating with any reasonable requests made by such Gaming Authorities (including filing requested forms and delivering information to the Gaming Authorities).

In such event, User shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the other members of the User Subject Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Owner and its Affiliates in resolving such User Licensing Event within the time period required by the applicable Gaming Authorities by submitting to investigation by the relevant Gaming Authorities and cooperating with any reasonable requests made by such Gaming Authorities (including filing requested forms and delivering information to the Gaming Authorities). If, despite these efforts, such User Licensing Event cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of the applicable Gaming Authorities within the time period required by such Gaming Authorities, Owner shall have the right, at its election in its sole discretion, either to (a) terminate this Agreement or (b) cause this Agreement to temporarily cease to be in force or effect, until such time, if any, as the User Licensing Event is resolved to the satisfaction of the applicable Gaming Authorities and Owner in its sole discretion, upon no less than ninety (90) days’ written notice thereof to User following a User Licensing Event which is not cured within the period required by the applicable Gaming Authorities (or such lesser time as required by any applicable Gaming Authority).

Any amounts which become payable by Owner or User under this Article XV shall be paid within ten (10) days after liability therefor is determined by a final non appealable judgment or settlement or other agreement of the Parties, and if not timely paid shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the date of such determination to the date of payment. Owner, with its counsel and at its sole cost and expense, shall contest, resist and defend any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against the User Indemnified Parties; and User, with its counsel and at its sole cost and expense, shall contest, resist and defend any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against the Owner Indemnified Parties.

ARTICLE XVI

TRANSFERS BY OWNER

16.1 Transfers Generally. Owner may sell, assign, transfer or convey, without User’s consent, all of the Golf Courses, any individual Golf Course or any portion of any Golf Course, or any interest therein. If the subject transaction involves a sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance of all of the Golf Courses, then this Agreement shall be assigned to the applicable transferee such that such transferee shall become successor Owner as if an original party to this Agreement. If the subject transaction involves a sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance of any individual Golf Course (or several Golf Courses but not all of the Golf Courses), then (a) subject to Section 16.2 below, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the Golf Course(s) not transferred to the applicable transferee, and (b) a Severance Agreement with such transferee shall be entered into with respect to the Golf Course(s) transferred to the applicable transferee as described in Section 16.2 below. If the subject transaction involves a sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance of a portion (but not all) of any individual Golf Course, then (i) this Agreement shall remain in effect so long as such Golf Course is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, and (ii) none of the Golf Course Use Payments shall be adjusted; provided, however, that if the applicable Golf Course is rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, then (A) this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Golf Course as of the closing of such transaction, and (B) commencing upon the date of such termination, (1) the CES Use Fee shall be adjusted in accordance with the CES Use Fee Reduction Amount and (2) the Minimum Rounds Per Month and the Minimum Rounds Per Year shall each be adjusted in accordance with the Minimum Rounds Reduction Amount (and the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee shall be re-determined in connection therewith). If Owner (including any successor Owner) shall convey all of the Golf Courses, any individual Golf Course or any portion of any Golf Course, then Owner shall be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Owner under this Agreement with respect to the Golf Course(s) or the applicable portion of a Golf Course (provided such conveyance of such portion of the Golf Course does not affect the Primary Intended Use of the remaining portion of such Golf Course as an eighteen (18) hole golf course) transferred to the applicable transferee upon the later of (x) such conveyance and (y) the applicable transferee’s (A) express assumption of all liabilities and obligations of Owner under this Agreement relating to such transferred Golf Course(s) arising after such conveyance and (B) in the event at least one (1), but less than all, of the Golf Courses are so conveyed, execution of a Severance Agreement, and all liabilities and obligations of Owner hereunder relating to such transferred Golf Course(s) shall thereafter be binding upon such transferee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Owner shall not sell, assign, transfer or convey any of the Golf Courses, or assign this Agreement, to (1) a Tenant Prohibited Person (as defined in the Regional Lease) or (2) any Person that is associated with a Person who has been found “unsuitable”, denied a Gaming License or otherwise precluded from participation in the gaming industry by any Gaming Authority, where such association may adversely affect any of User’s or its Affiliates’ Gaming Licenses or User’s or its Affiliates’ then-current standing with any Gaming Authority. Any assignment or transfer under this Article XVI shall be subject to all applicable Legal Requirements, and no such assignment or transfer shall be effective until any applicable approvals, if applicable, are obtained.

16.2 Severance Agreements. In the event Owner desires to sell or otherwise transfer at least one (1), but less than all, of the Golf Courses (in whole but not in part) to a third party or to an affiliate of Owner, then the Parties shall enter into a Severance Agreement with respect to such Golf Course, in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) Owner shall give User not less than fifteen (15) days’ advance written notice of a Severance Agreement, and User shall thereafter, within said fifteen (15)-day period (or such longer period of time as Owner may require; it being understood that Owner may delay or cancel a Severance Agreement in the event that the underlying sale or transfer of a Golf Course is delayed or cancelled for any reason), execute, acknowledge and deliver a Severance Agreement to the new owner of the applicable Golf Course for the remaining Term and on substantially the same terms and conditions as this Agreement (except for appropriate adjustments (including to Exhibits and Schedules), including such adjustments as are described in this Article XVI), and in any case no less favorable to User than the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) In the event a Severance Agreement is entered into, Owner may, before the Severance Agreement is executed, elect, in its sole discretion, for the Membership Fee that was in effect under this Agreement immediately prior to the effective date of such Severance Agreement to remain in full force and effect under this Agreement (a “Membership Fee Retainage Election”). If Owner timely makes a Membership Fee Retainage Election (which election may be included in the notice provided pursuant to Section 16.2(a) above), then the Severance Agreement shall provide that no amount is payable under such Severance Agreement in respect of any Membership Fee and the Membership Fee payable under this Agreement shall not be reduced. If Owner does not timely make a Membership Fee Retainage Election, then (i) the Membership Fee payable under the Severance Agreement at the time of the commencement of such Severance Agreement shall be equal to the amount of the Membership Fee Reduction Amount for the applicable Golf Course to be subject to such Severance Agreement, and (ii) correspondingly, upon the effective date of the Severance Agreement, the Membership Fee payable hereunder shall be reduced by such Membership Fee Reduction Amount.

(c) The CES Use Fee payable under the Severance Agreement at the time of the commencement of such Severance Agreement shall be equal to the amount of the CES Use Fee Reduction Amount for the applicable Golf Course to be subject to such Severance Agreement. Correspondingly, upon the effective date of the Severance Agreement, the CES Use Fee payable hereunder shall be reduced by such CES Use Fee Reduction Amount.

(d) The Minimum Rounds Per Month and Minimum Rounds Per Year under the Severance Agreement at the time of the commencement of such Severance Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the Minimum Rounds Reduction Amount for the applicable Golf Course to be subject to such Severance Agreement (and the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee payable under such Severance Agreement shall be determined in connection therewith). Correspondingly, upon the effective date of the Severance Agreement, the Minimum Rounds Per Month and Minimum Rounds Per Year hereunder shall each be adjusted in accordance with such Minimum Rounds Reduction Amount (and the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee payable hereunder shall be re-determined in connection therewith).

(e) This Agreement shall automatically terminate with respect to the applicable Golf Course that is subject to such Severance Agreement as of the effective date of such Severance Agreement.

(f) User shall take such actions and execute and deliver such documents, including, without limitation, amended Memorandum(s) of Agreement and, if requested by Owner, an amendment to this Agreement, as are reasonably necessary and appropriate to effectuate fully the provisions and intent of this Article XVI, and as Owner may reasonably request to evidence such removal of the applicable Golf Course from this Agreement.

(g) All reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred relating to a Severance Agreement (including reasonable, documented attorneys’ fees and other reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by User for outside counsel, if any) shall (i) be borne by Owner and not User and (ii) be reimbursed to User by Owner within ten (10) days after Owner’s receipt of written demand therefor from User.

(h) At the option of such new owner, a Severance Agreement may provide that the new owner of the applicable Golf Course shall have the right to terminate such Severance Agreement on or after the date that is five (5) years after the commencement of such Severance Agreement (the date on which such Severance Agreement terminates pursuant to such new owner’s exercise of such termination right, the “Severance Agreement Termination Date”), in which event such Severance Agreement and the obligations of User to pay the Golf Course Use Payments payable thereunder shall continue through (and including) the Severance Agreement Termination Date.

16.3 No Release of Owner’s Obligations; Exception. The liability of Owner and any immediate and remote successor in interest of Owner (by assignment or otherwise), and the due performance of the obligations of this Agreement on Owner’s part to be performed or observed, shall not in any way be discharged, released or impaired by any (i) stipulation which extends the time within which an obligation under this Agreement is to be performed, (ii) waiver of the performance of an obligation required under this Agreement that is not entered into by User in a writing executed by User and expressly stated to be for the benefit of Owner or such successor, or (iii) failure to enforce any of the obligations set forth in this Agreement, provided that Owner shall not be responsible for any additional obligations or liability arising as the result of any modification or amendment of this Agreement by User and any assignee of Owner that is not an Affiliate of Owner.

ARTICLE XVII

17.1 Assignment. Other than as expressly provided herein (including the permitted assignments described in this Article XVII), User shall not, without Owner’s prior written consent (which, except as specifically set forth herein, may be withheld in Owner’s sole and absolute discretion), voluntarily or by operation of law assign (which term includes any transfer, sale, encumbering, pledge or other transfer or hypothecation), directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, this Agreement. Any Change of Control of User (or, subject to Section 17.2 below, any transfer of direct or indirect interests in User that results in a Change of Control) shall constitute an assignment of User’s interest in this Agreement within the meaning of this Article XVII and the provisions requiring consent contained herein shall apply thereto. Any assignment or transfer under this Article XVII shall be subject to all applicable Legal Requirements, and no such assignment or transfer shall be effective until any applicable approvals, if applicable, are obtained.

Further, any Permitted User Lender shall have the same right to receive any notice of a default by User under this Agreement or termination of this Agreement and the same right to cure such default or act or omission which gave rise to such default as such Permitted User Lender would have with respect to a default by the Regional Tenant under the Regional Lease or termination of the Regional Lease as set forth in Article XVII of the Regional Lease, as if such provisions were set forth in this Agreement mutatis mutandis.

17.3 Costs. User shall reimburse Owner for Owner’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any assignment or transfer of this Agreement by User, including reasonable documented attorneys’, architects’, engineers’ or other consultants’ fees whether or not such assignment or transfer is actually consummated.

17.4 No Release of User’s Obligations; Exception. No assignment shall relieve User of its obligation to pay each of the Golf Course Use Payments and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by User hereunder. The liability of User and any immediate and remote successor in interest of User (by assignment or otherwise), and the due performance of the obligations of this Agreement on User’s part to be performed or observed, shall not in any way be discharged, released or impaired by any (i) stipulation which extends the time within which an obligation under this Agreement is to be performed, (ii) waiver of the performance of an obligation required under this Agreement that is not entered into by Owner in a writing executed by Owner and expressly stated to be for the benefit of User or such successor, or (iii) failure to enforce any of the obligations set forth in this Agreement, provided that User shall not be responsible for any additional obligations or liability arising as the result of any modification or amendment of this Agreement by Owner and any assignee of User that is not an Affiliate of User.

17.5 Merger of CEOC. The Parties acknowledge that, immediately following the execution of this Agreement on the Commencement Date, Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation, merged into CEOC, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

27.2 Severability. Subject to Section 27.17, if any term or provision of this Agreement or any application thereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and any other application of such term or provision shall not be affected thereby.

27.3 Non-Recourse.

It is specifically agreed that no constituent member, partner, owner, director, officer or employee of a Party shall ever be personally liable for any judgment (in respect of obligations under or in connection with this Agreement) against, or for the payment of any monetary obligation under or in respect of this Agreement, such Party, to the other Party.

27.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon Owner and its permitted successors and assigns and, subject to the provisions of Article XVII, upon User and its successors and assigns.

27.5 Arbitration. In the event of a dispute with respect to this Agreement, or in any case when this Agreement expressly provides for the settlement or determination of a dispute or question by an Expert pursuant to this Section 27.5 (in any such case, a “Section 27.5 Dispute”), such dispute shall be determined in accordance with an arbitration proceeding as set forth in this Section 27.5.

The third (3^rd) member of the Arbitration Panel will be selected by the two (2) members of the Arbitration Panel who were selected by Owner and User; provided, that if, within five (5) Business Days after they are identified, they fail to select a third (3^rd) member, or if they are unable to agree on such selection, Owner and User shall cause the third (3^rd) member of the Arbitration Panel to be appointed by the managing officer of the American Arbitration Association.

(c) Within ten (10) Business Days after the selection of the Arbitration Panel, Owner and User each shall submit to the Arbitration Panel a written statement identifying its summary of the issues. Owner and User may also request an evidentiary hearing on the merits in addition to the submission of written statements. The Arbitration Panel shall make its decision within twenty (20) days after the later of (i) the submission of such written statements, and (ii) the conclusion of any evidentiary hearing on the merits.

27.14 Time of Essence. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH PROVISION HEREOF IN WHICH TIME OF PERFORMANCE IS ESTABLISHED.

27.15 Consents, Approval and Notices.

(a) All consents and approvals that may be given under this Agreement shall, as a condition of their effectiveness, be in writing. The granting of any consent or approval by Owner or User to the performance of any act by User or Owner requiring the consent or approval of Owner or User under any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall relate only to the specified act or acts thereby consented to or approved and, unless otherwise specified, shall not be deemed a waiver of the necessity for such consent or approval for the same or any similar act in the future, and/or the failure on the part of Owner or User to object to any such action taken by User or Owner without the consent or approval of the other Party, shall not be deemed a waiver of their right to require such consent or approval for any further similar act; and User hereby expressly covenants and agrees that as to all matters requiring Owner’s consent or approval under any of the terms of this Agreement, User shall secure such consent or approval for each and every happening of the event requiring such consent or approval, and shall not claim any waiver on the part of Owner of the requirement to secure such consent or approval.

(b) Each Party acknowledges that in granting any consents, approvals or authorizations under this Agreement, and in providing any advice, assistance, recommendation or direction under this Agreement, neither such Party nor any Affiliates thereof guarantee success or a satisfactory result from the subject of such consent, approval, authorization, advice, assistance, recommendation or direction. Accordingly, each Party agrees that neither such Party nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability whatsoever to any other Party or any third party by reason of: (i) any consent, approval or authorization, or advice, assistance, recommendation or direction, given or withheld; or (ii) any delay or failure to provide any consent, approval or authorization, or advice, assistance, recommendation or direction (except in the event of a breach of a covenant herein not to unreasonably withhold or delay any consent or approval); provided, however, each agrees to act in good faith when dealing with or providing any advice, consent, assistance, recommendation or direction.

(c) Any notice, report or information required to be delivered by User hereunder may be delivered collectively with any other notices, reports or information required to be delivered by User hereunder as part of a single report, notice or communication. Any such notice, report or information may be delivered to Owner by User providing a representative of Owner with access to User’s or its Affiliate’s electronic databases or other information systems containing the applicable information and notice that information has been posted on such database or system.

27.16 Apportionment of Revenue and Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties hereby acknowledge that (a) all items of operating revenue and operating expenses of each Golf Course, with respect to the period prior to 12:00 a.m. local time (the “Cut-off Time”) at such Golf Course on the Commencement Date, shall be for the account of the entity that owned such Golf Course on the day immediately preceding the Commencement Date, and (b) all items of operating revenue and operating expenses of each Golf Course, with respect to the period from and after the Cut-off Time, shall be for the account of Owner.

27.17 Single, Indivisible Agreement. This Agreement constitutes one indivisible usage agreement with respect to the Golf Courses and not separate usage agreements governed by similar terms. The Golf Courses constitute one economic unit, and each of the Golf Course Use Payments and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed upon based on usage of all of the Golf Courses by User as a single, composite, inseparable transaction and would have been substantially different had separate usage agreements or a divisible usage agreement been intended. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement for specific, isolated purposes (and then only to the extent expressly otherwise stated), all provisions of this Agreement apply equally and uniformly to all components of the Golf Courses collectively as one unit. The Parties intend that the provisions of this Agreement shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied so as to carry out their mutual objective to create an indivisible usage agreement with respect to all of the Golf Courses and, in particular but without limitation, that, for purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Agreement under 11 U.S.C. Section 365, or any successor or replacement thereof or any analogous state law, this is one indivisible and non-severable usage agreement and executory contract dealing with one legal and economic unit and that this Agreement must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only as to all) of the Golf Courses. The Parties may elect (in each Party’s respective sole discretion, but subject to the applicable terms of this Agreement) to amend this Agreement from time to time to exclude one or more components or portions of, and/or to include one or more additional components as part of, the Golf Courses, and any such future exclusion of or addition to the Golf Courses shall not in any way change the indivisible and nonseverable nature of this Agreement and all of the foregoing provisions shall continue to apply in full force. Furthermore, under certain circumstances as more particularly and expressly provided in this Agreement above, one or more of the Golf Courses hereunder may, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, be removed from this Agreement and no longer be part of the Golf Courses and such reduction of the Golf Courses shall not in any way change the indivisible and nonseverable nature of this Agreement and all of the foregoing provisions shall continue to apply in full force with respect to the balance of the Golf Courses.

27.18 Termination of this Agreement. Wherever in this Agreement the action of terminating this Agreement with respect to any Golf Course (or action of similar import) is discussed, such action shall mean the termination of User’s rights in and to the use of such Golf Course and the termination of such obligations of User hereunder that concern solely such Golf Course (including, without limitation, the obligations of User hereunder with respect to the portion of the Complimentary Golf Rounds Fee attributable to such Golf Course), which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall under no circumstances include or be deemed to include the obligations of User hereunder with respect to all or any portion of the Membership Fee). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if this Agreement is terminated with respect to any Golf Course, such termination shall not affect the applicable Term of this Agreement with respect to the balance of the Golf Courses with respect to which this Agreement is not so terminated, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to such balance of the Golf Courses, and User shall remain obligated to pay the entirety of the Membership Fee (subject to the third (3rd) sentence of Section 16.2(b)). Following any such termination, the Parties shall execute an amendment to this Agreement to memorialize such termination; provided, however the failure to do so will not affect the effectiveness of such termination.
