and 


        WHEREAS,

AGREEMENT:  


        In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 


ARTICLE 1

PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS  


        Section 1.1    Purchase and Sale of Assets.    Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein
(including Section 6.6), on the Closing Date, Sellers will sell, convey and transfer, or will cause to be sold, conveyed and transferred to Purchaser, and Purchaser will purchase and acquire,
the Assets, free and clear of all Liens, except Permitted Liens. Concurrently with such conveyance, Purchaser will assume all of the Assumed Liabilities. 


        Section 1.2    Purchase Price.    The aggregate purchase price for the Assets (the
"Purchase Price") shall be (i) Two Hundred Seventy Million Dollars ($270,000,000) (the "Base
Price"), plus (or minus if a negative number) (ii) the Closing Capital Amount determined in accordance with
Section 1.5 hereof, plus (iii) the amount (the "Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount")
equal to the actual amount of capital expenditures made by the Sellers during the period between the date hereof and Closing Date, which capital expenditures were (x) required as a result of an
emergency or other event or situation beyond the reasonable control of Sellers or (y) necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Sellers, subject to the reasonable approval of Purchaser, to
permit the continued operation of the Business in a manner consistent with Section 4.1 hereof. 





 



        Section 1.3    Deposit.    



        (a)  Upon
execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrowee the sum of Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) in immediately available funds as a deposit and
down payment for the purchase
of all Assets other than the Gaming Assets (the "Deposit"). The Deposit, exclusive of any Interest earned thereon, shall be credited against the
Purchase Price at the Closing, in accordance with the terms hereof. No portion of the Deposit is intended to be or is attributable to the Gaming Assets, and accordingly, the parties desire that the
Deposit be released immediately to Sellers. The parties have determined to seek written confirmation (the "Gaming Authority Letter") from the
appropriate representatives of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board (the "Gaming Control Board") that release of the Deposit, together with interest
accrued thereon, to Sellers is permissible under the Nevada Gaming Laws. Accordingly, immediately following execution and delivery of this Agreement, Sellers' gaming counsel will contact the Chief of
the Investigations Division of the Gaming Control Board to determine whether the request for the Gaming Authority Letter should be addressed to such person, to the Chairman of the Gaming Control
Board, or to some other representative of the Gaming Control Board. Promptly following such contact, Sellers' gaming counsel will request in a writing addressed to the person the Chief of the
Investigations Division has indicated they should contact, the prompt issuance of the Gaming Authority Letter, and Purchaser's counsel will join in such request. The parties will use their diligent
best efforts to seek the prompt issuance of the Gaming Authority Letter. The Deposit shall be held by Escrowee in an interest-bearing account and/or utilized to purchase marketable instruments,
satisfactory to Escrowee, and satisfactory to Sellers in their sole and absolute discretion and at Sellers' sole risk with all interest to accrue for the benefit of, and belong to, Sellers. The
Deposit, together with all interest, shall be released to Sellers upon the earliest to occur of the following: (i) receipt of the Gaming Authority Letter; (ii) the occurrence of the
Closing in accordance with the terms hereof; or (iii) the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date for any reason other than Sellers' breach of a material obligation
hereunder. Purchaser hereby absolutely and forever disclaims any ownership interest in the Deposit (but Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the return of an amount equal to the Deposit in the event
of Sellers' breach in the performance of its obligations hereunder), and further agrees, that to the extent it nevertheless is deemed to have any interest in the Deposit and/or in the account in which
Escrowee maintains the Deposit, Purchaser hereby pledges to Sellers such Deposit, the account in which it is maintained and any and all proceeds thereof as security for Purchaser's obligations
hereunder. In connection therewith Sellers shall have all rights and remedies available to secured creditors under applicable Nevada law. Upon release of the Deposit to Sellers, the Deposit, exclusive
of interest, shall be credited to the Purchase Price. 


        (b)  Time
is of the strictest essence of this Section 1.3 




        Section 1.4    Intentionally Omitted.    


        Section 1.5    Purchase Price Adjustment.    



        (a)    Estimated Adjustment Amounts.    Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, Sellers
shall deliver to Purchaser their reasonable good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the "Estimated Closing Net Working Capital
Amount") and Sellers' reasonable good faith estimate of the Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount (the "Estimated Capital Expenditure Adjustment
Amount"), together with a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, including accountants' work papers (to the extent available to Sellers upon diligent best
efforts) and other back-up materials pertinent thereto. As set forth in Section 2.2(c), the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital Amount and the Estimated Capital Expenditure
Adjustment Amount shall be used to calculate the Closing Date Purchase Price payable at Closing. 



3





 

        (b)    Closing Balance Sheet;    Capital Expenditure Adjustment. As soon as reasonably practicable following the
Closing Date and in any event within ninety (90) days thereafter, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Sellers (i) a calculation of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the
"Closing Net Working Capital"), (ii) a calculation of the actual Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount (together with reasonable
back-up information providing the basis for such calculation), and (iii) all accountants' work papers developed by Purchaser and/or (to the extent available to Purchaser upon
diligent best efforts) its outside accountants, and explanatory materials (collectively, the "Backup Material") setting forth with specificity any
changes from Sellers' calculations delivered pursuant to Section 1.5(a), above, and providing detailed reasons for each such change. Time is of the strictest essence of this provision, and the
failure of Purchaser to provide a calculation of Net Working Capital, a calculation of the Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount or all of the Backup Materials shall be conclusively deemed Purchaser's
acceptance of Sellers' calculations pursuant to Section 1.5(a), and no further adjustments shall be made with respect thereto. Closing Net Working Capital shall be calculated in accordance with
United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and on a basis consistent with the preparation of the Reference Balance Sheet. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital shall reflect reserves against receivables from casino customers that are calculated in accordance with the
current practices of SDIC, consistent with sound accounting practices in the hotel and casino industry. 


        (c)    Disputes.    Immediately upon delivery of Purchaser's calculation of Closing Net Working Capital and the
Capital Expenditures Adjustment Amount, Purchaser will provide to Sellers and Sellers' accountants full access to the personnel and books and records of Purchaser to the extent reasonably related to a
review of the Purchaser's calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital and the Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount, which review may include review and analysis of transactions and operations of
the Business during periods following the Closing. Purchaser shall not take any actions with respect to its books and records or any of the books and records of the Companies that would obstruct or
prevent the determination of Closing Net Working Capital and the Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount. If Sellers disagree with the Purchaser's calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital, the
Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount or any element relevant thereto, they shall notify Purchaser of such disagreement in writing within forty-five (45) days after Sellers' receipt
of Purchaser's calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital and the Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount and the Backup Materials, which notice shall set forth in detail the particulars of such
disagreement. Such forty-five (45) day period shall be extended, day for day, for each day that Purchaser fails to provide full access as described above or any portion of the
Backup Materials. In the event that Sellers do not provide such a notice of disagreement within such forty-five (45) day period (as the same may be extended), Sellers shall be
deemed to have accepted Purchaser's calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital and the Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount delivered by Purchaser which shall be final, binding and conclusive for
all purposes hereunder. In the event any such notice of disagreement is timely provided by Sellers, Purchaser and Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts for a period of thirty
(30) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital and the Capital Expenditure
Adjustment Amount. If, at the end of such period, they are unable to resolve such disagreements, the Auditor shall resolve any remaining disagreements. The Auditor shall determine as promptly as
practicable, but in any event within forty (40) days of the date on which such dispute is referred to the Auditor, based solely on written submissions forwarded by Purchaser and Sellers to the
Auditor within ten (10) days
following submission to the Auditor, whether the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital and the Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount was made in accordance with the standards set forth in
Section 1.2(a) and (only with respect to the remaining disagreements submitted to the Auditor) whether and to what extent (if any) the Closing Net 



4





 





Working Capital and the Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount determination require adjustment. The Sellers on the one hand, and Purchaser on the other hand, shall each bear 50% of the fees and
expenses of the Auditor. The determination of the Auditor shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties and shall be treated as an arbitration award for purposes of enforcement thereof,
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to bind the Auditor to any other law governing arbitration or to require the Auditor to hold any hearings in connection with its
proceeding. The date on which the Closing Net Working Capital and the Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount is finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.5(c) is referred as to the
"Determination Date." 



        (d)    Payment.    If the Closing Net Working Capital plus the Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount is greater than
the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount plus the Estimated Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount (such difference, the "Increase Amount"), then within
ten (10) Business Days after the Determination Date, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers an additional amount equal to the Increase Amount, together with interest thereon calculated from the Closing
Date to the date of payment at the Applicable Rate. If the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount plus the Estimated Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount is greater than the Closing Net Working Capital
plus the Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount (such difference, the "Deficit Amount"), then within ten (10) Business Days after the
Determination Date, Sellers shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the Deficit Amount, together with interest thereon calculated from the Closing Date to the date of payment at the Applicable Rate. 



ARTICLE 2

INSPECTIONS; WAIVER OF DUE DILIGENCE; ESCROW  


        Section 2.1    Waiver of Purchaser's Due Diligence.    Purchaser acknowledges that it is familiar with the
Assets and has had opportunities, directly or through its representatives to inspect the Assets. Without limitation of the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchase Price has been negotiated
based on Purchaser's express agreement to waive all contingencies to closing other than Sellers' performance of its obligations set forth in this Agreement. Further, Purchaser acknowledges that it has
waived and hereby waives any due diligence reviews, inspection or examination with respect to the Assets, including without limitation with respect to engineering, environmental, title, survey,
financial, operational and legal compliance matters. 



        (a)    Purchaser's Inspections.    Solely for purposes of assisting Purchaser in the transition of the Assets to the
Purchaser's ownership, Purchaser, through its employees, agents and representatives ("Purchaser's Inspectors"), shall have the right, subject to the
rights of tenants, to perform such examinations, tests,
investigations and studies of the Assets and the Business (the "Infections") as Purchaser reasonably deems desirable, in accordance with this
Section 2.1, and Sellers shall provide reasonable access to the Business Premises for Purchaser's Inspections to perform the Inspections; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall
provide Parent with at least twenty-four (24) hours' prior notice of each of the Inspections; (ii) at Sellers' request, Purchaser's Inspectors shall be accompanied by an
employee, agent or representative of Purchaser; (iii) Purchaser shall not initiate contact with employees or representatives of the Sellers other than Marc Rubinstein and/or Mark Lefever or
other individuals designated by either of them and, at Sellers' option, an employer's representative or agent of Sellers may be present at all inspections; (iv) the Inspections shall be
conducted by Purchaser's Inspectors on a business day between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (local time); (v) Purchaser's Inspectors shall not perform any drilling, coring or other
invasive testing, without Sellers' prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; (vi) the Inspections shall not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the
Business, and Purchaser's Inspectors shall comply with Sellers' requests with respect to the Inspections to minimize such interference; and (vii) in no event shall the results of any such 



5





 


inspection or Purchaser's satisfaction therewith be a condition to Purchaser's obligations hereunder, it being the intent of Purchaser to purchase the Assets and Interests on an "As Is, Where Is"
basis, as more fully set forth in Section 3.3 hereof. 


        (b)    Sellers' Materials.    Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the materials listed on Schedule 2.1(b) and
Schedule 2.1(e) hereto. All documents and materials provided by Sellers to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement are referred to collectively herein as the "Sellers'
Materials". Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser's review of such materials or satisfaction therewith shall not be a condition to Purchaser's obligations hereunder,
it being the intent of Purchaser to purchase the Assets in their "As Is, Where Is" condition as more fully set forth in Section 3.3 hereof. 


        (c)    Purchaser's Reports.    If requested by Sellers, Purchaser shall provide a copy to Sellers of all environmental
studies, reports, and assessments prepared by any Person for or on behalf of Purchaser in connection with the Inspections (the "Purchaser Reports"), and
if also requested by Sellers, at Sellers' cost and expense, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an original of any such Purchaser Reports for Sellers, together with a
reliance letter from such Person in favor of Sellers. This Section 2.1(c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing. 


        (d)    Release and Indemnification.    Purchaser shall, at its cost and expense, repair any damage to the Business
Premises and the Assets or any other property owned by a Person other than Purchaser arising from or in connection with the Inspections, and restore the Business Premises and the Assets or such other
third-party property to the same condition as existed prior to such Inspections. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent, the Sellers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates from and against
any Losses incurred by Parent, Sellers, their subsidiaries or affiliates, arising from or in connection with the Inspections, save and except only those Losses caused by Sellers' gross negligence or
intentional misconduct. This Section 2.1(d) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing. 


        (e)  Attached
hereto as Schedule 2.1(e) are the preliminary title reports for the Real Property Assets and the real property of the Companies (respectively,
"Title Report A" and "Title Report B" and collectively, "Title
Reports"). All title exceptions shown on the Title Reports other than Items 101-105 of Title Report A and items 17-22 of Title Report B, being the so
called "requirements" items and on the surveys listed on Part II of Schedule 2.1(e) (collectively, the "Survey"), copies of which have
been delivered to Purchaser, are hereinafter referred to as the "Permitted Exceptions". The Permitted Exceptions shall also include those other title
exceptions which are disclosed or which become apparent to Purchaser after the Effective Date, which are not already Permitted Exceptions, which are not caused by the intentional act or omission of a
Seller after the date of the Title Reports and which do not materially adversely affect the value of the Real Property Assets, or as to which Purchaser has not timely objected. Purchaser must notify
the Sellers in writing of Purchaser's objection to any such subsequently arising matter on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days after Purchaser's receipt of notice thereof, and
Purchaser shall only object to such title exceptions as would materially adversely affect the value of the Real Property Assets or Purchaser's ownership thereof or the use thereof consistent with the
Sellers' current use. The Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all title exceptions (other than Permitted Exceptions) properly and timely objected to by Purchaser
("Unpermitted Exceptions") to be removed on or before the Closing. Sellers, however, shall have the right to (i) cause the Title Insurer to
remove a lien by bonding over it or (ii) obtain the commitment of the Title Insurer to insure Purchaser against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such Unpermitted Exceptions. If Sellers
are unable to bond over or cure any Unpermitted Exceptions prior to Closing or to obtain affirmative title insurance therefor, Sellers shall have the right to postpone the Closing and 



6





 





extend the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days by providing written notice to Purchaser no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the originally scheduled Closing Date. 


        (f)    ADEQUACY OF INFORMATION.    PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, SELLERS WILL MAKE AVAILABLE TO PURCHASER CERTAIN
REPORTS, ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS AND OTHER WRITTEN STUDIES CONCERNING THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING SELLERS' MATERIALS. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES, WARRANTS AND AGREES THAT EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE
PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARENT NOR SELLERS SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR NOR LIABLE FOR, AND MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND ABOUT THE CONTENT, THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF
ANY DOCUMENTS OR INFORMATION PREPARED BY ANY SOURCE OTHER THAN SELLERS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INFORMATION CONTAINED IN OR DISCLOSED BY TITLE REPORTS, SURVEYS OR ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES, WHETHER
PREPARED FOR OR BY ANY FORMER OWNER OF THE BUSINESS OR THE ASSETS, PURCHASER, OR ANY OTHER PERSON OTHER THAN SELLERS. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES, REPRESENTS, WARRANTS, AND AGREES THAT EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT PURCHASER HAS NOT RELIED, AND SHALL NOT RELY, ON PARENT OR SELLERS IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH DOCUMENTS OR INFORMATION. PURCHASER REPRESENTS, WARRANTS
AND AGREES THAT EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER SHALL HAVE NO RIGHTS AGAINST PARENT OR SELLERS AS A CONSEQUENCE OF ANY INFORMATION OR MISINFORMATION, ANY INACCURACIES IN, OR
THE COMPLETENESS OR INCOMPLETENESS OF, ANY DOCUMENTS OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF, PARENT OR SELLERS, OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY. NEITHER PARENT OR SELLERS SHALL HAVE ANY OBLIGATION
TO PROVIDE TO, OR MAKE
AVAILABLE TO PURCHASER ANY DOCUMENTS OR INFORMATION, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY REQUIRED BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. 


        
                                        


        Purchaser's Initials 




        Section 2.2    Escrow.    



        (a)    Opening.    Concurrently with the execution hereof, Purchaser and Sellers shall open an escrow (the
"Escrow") with Escrowee by delivery of a fully executed copy of this Agreement to Escrowee, and by Purchaser's delivery to Escrowee of the Deposit.
Escrowee will notify Sellers and Purchaser when Escrow has been opened. This Agreement shall constitute joint escrow instructions to Escrowee. In addition, the parties agree to be bound by such other
reasonable and customary escrow instructions as may be necessary or reasonably required by Escrowee or the parties hereto in order to consummate the purchase and sale described herein, or otherwise to
distribute and pay the funds held in Escrow as provided in this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and provisions of such supplemental escrow instructions and the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control, absent an express written agreement between the parties to the contrary which acknowledges this
Section 2.2. 


        (b)    Closing.    



          (i)  The
consummation of the purchase and sale of the Assets and the assumption by Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities (the
"Closing") shall take place at 10:00 a.m., local time, on or before June 30, 2000 ("Outside
Date") following the satisfaction of the conditions to the obligations of the parties set forth in Article 7 hereof (other than those conditions that by their nature are
to be fulfilled at Closing), at the offices of Schreck Morris, Purchaser's 




7





 



counsel, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The day on which the Closing takes place shall be referred to herein as the "Closing Date". 


        (ii)  At
the Closing, subject to the provisions of Section 6.6, Sellers shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser (A) one or more stock certificates
evidencing the DIIC Shares, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a stock power duly executed in blank, (B) grant bargain and sale deeds sufficient to convey all of the Real Property Assets
to Purchaser, (C) bills of sale, assignments and other documents sufficient to convey all of the Personal Property Assets to Purchaser, (D) the other documents required to be delivered
by Sellers pursuant to Article 7 hereof, and in accordance with the terms hereof, and (E) any other documents or instruments necessary to evidence or effect any of the transactions
contemplated hereunder. 


        (iii)  Sellers
shall retain the Retained Liabilities as of the Closing Date and shall pay, perform and discharge when due, and shall indemnify Purchaser and their respective
parents, subsidiaries and Affiliates against and defend and hold them harmless from the Retained Liabilities. Sellers' obligations under this Section 2.2(b)(iii) will not be subject to
offset or reduction by reason of any actual or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or any document delivered in connection herewith or any right or
alleged right to indemnification hereunder. 


        (iv)  Purchaser
shall assume the Assumed Liabilities as of the Closing Date and shall pay, perform and discharge when due, and shall indemnify Sellers and their respective
parents, subsidiaries and Affiliates against and defend and hold them harmless from the Assumed Liabilities. Purchaser's obligations under this Section 2.2(b)(iv) will not be subject to
offset or reduction by reason of any actual or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or any document delivered in connection herewith or any right or
alleged right to indemnification hereunder. 


        (v)  At
the Closing (A) Purchaser shall pay to Sellers the Closing Date Purchase Price less the amount of the Deposit (exclusive of interest) by intra-bank
transfer or wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Sellers, (B) Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers instruments mutually and reasonably satisfactory
to the Parties, further evidencing Purchaser's assumption of the Assumed Liabilities and all other documents required to be delivered by Purchaser pursuant to Article 7 hereof, and
(C) Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers any other documents or instruments necessary to evidence or effect any of the transactions contemplated hereunder. 




        (c)  The
parties acknowledge that the Closing Working Capital Amount and the Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount will not be determinable until after Closing. Accordingly,
notwithstanding anything else in this Article 2 to the contrary, for purposes of calculating the amount of the Closing Date Purchase Price payable on the Closing Date, the Base Price will be
increased or decreased (as applicable) pursuant to the definition of Closing Date Purchase Price by the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount and the Estimated Capital Expenditure Amount. After the
Closing, the parties will determine the Closing Net Working Capital and the Capital Expenditure Adjustment Amount, and make such payments of the Increase Amount or the Deficit Amount, as the case may
be, as are provided in Section 1.5. 


        (d)    Receivables; Collection of Racebook and Keno Tickets; Baggage and Safe Deposits    



        (i)    Collection of Racebook and Keno Tickets.    Purchaser shall redeem, as SDIC's agent but without any liability
therefor, any racebook and keno tickets (from any series in use as of or prior to the Closing Date) of SDIC relating to the use and operation of the Business which are outstanding as of the Closing
Date, which are presented by patrons of the Business or 




8





 



Purchaser for payment within the applicable Nevada statutory time periods for such redemptions. SDIC's racebook and keno tickets, to the extent redeemed by Purchaser during such statutory periods,
shall be redeemed as often as weekly by SDIC, upon delivery to SDIC of such SDIC racebook and keno tickets redeemed. SDIC agrees to make arrangements for the additional redemption of its
[chips, tokens] and wagers as required by Nevada law. 



        (ii)    Baggage.    On the Closing Date, representatives of SDIC and Purchaser jointly shall make a written inventory
of all baggage, boxes and similar items checked in or left in the care of SDIC at the Business Premises, and SDIC shall deliver to Purchaser the keys to any secured area which such baggage and other
items are stored (the "Inventoried Baggage"). Purchaser shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify SDIC from and against any Losses incurred, with
respect to any theft, loss or damage to any Inventoried Baggage from and after the time of such inventory, and any other baggage, boxes or similar items left in the care of Purchaser. SDIC shall be
responsible for, and shall indemnify the Purchaser from and against any Losses incurred, with respect to any theft, loss or damage to any Inventoried Baggage prior to the time of such inventory, and
any other baggage, boxes or similar items left in the care of Sellers. This Section 2.2(d)(ii) shall survive the Closing. 


        (iii)    Safe Deposit Boxes.    Prior to the Closing, SDIC shall notify all guests or customers who are then using a
safe deposit box at the Business Premises advising them of the pending change in ownership and operation of the Business and requesting them to conduct an inventory and verify the contents of such
safe deposit box. All inventories by such guests or customers shall be conducted under the joint supervision of representatives of SDIC and Purchaser. Upon such inventory and verification, SDIC shall
deliver to Purchaser all keys, receipts and agreements for such safe deposit box (and thereafter such safe deposit box shall deemed an "Inventoried Safe Deposit
Box"). If the Closing does not occur on the Closing Date for any reason whatsoever, Purchaser immediately shall return all keys, receipts and agreements to SDIC for such
Inventoried Safe Deposit Boxes. Upon the Closing, SDIC shall deliver to Purchaser all keys in SDIC's possession for all safe deposit boxes not then in use, and a list of all safe deposit boxes which
are then in use, but not yet inventoried by the depositor (the "Non-Inventoried Safe Deposit Boxes"), with the name and address or room
number of such depositor. After the Closing, SDIC and Purchaser shall make appropriate arrangements for guests and customers at the Business Premises to inventory and verify the contests of the
Non-Inventoried Safe Deposit Boxes, and upon such inventory and verification, SDIC shall deliver to Purchaser all keys, receipt and agreements for such safe deposit box (and such safe
deposit box thereafter shall constitute an Inventoried Safe Deposit Box). Purchaser shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any Losses incurred
with respect to, any theft, loss or damage to the contents of any safe deposit box from and after the time such safe deposit box is deemed an Inventoried Safe Deposit Box pursuant to this
Section 2.2(d)(iii) SDIC shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against any Losses incurred, with respect to, any theft, loss or damage
to the contents of any safe deposit box prior to the time such safe deposit box is deemed an Inventoried Safe Deposit Box. This Section 2.2(d)(iii) shall survive the Closing. 


        (iv)    Valet Parking.    At the Closing, an authorized representative of SDIC shall perform the following functions
for all motor vehicles that were checked and placed in the care of SDIC: (x) mark all motor vehicles with a sticker or tape; (y) prepare an inventory
("Inventoried Vehicles") of such items indicating the check number applicable thereto; and (z) transfer control of the Inventoried Vehicles to an
authorized representative of Purchaser and secure a receipt for the Inventoried Vehicles. Thereafter, Purchaser shall be responsible for the Inventoried Vehicles.

        (v)    Removal of Starwood Proprietary Property.    Sellers, at their cost and expense, shall have the right to remove
or abandon any supplies and other personal property located at the Business Premises which bear any of the Starwood Proprietary Marks on or prior to the Closing Date. If Sellers abandon any such
supplies or other personal property at the Business Premises, Purchaser shall not use any such supplies or other personal property, signs or fixtures at the Business Premises which bear any Starwood
Proprietary Marks, or use any Starwood Proprietary Marks in any advertising or promotions for the Business. Purchaser, at its cost and expense, shall remove any signs and fixtures at the Business
Premises which bear any of the Starwood Proprietary Marks no later than fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date. If Purchaser does not remove all such signs and fixtures within such fifteen
(15) day period, Sellers shall have the right, at Sellers' cost and expense, to enter onto the Business Premises and remove such signs and fixtures therefrom. This
Section 2.2(d)(v) shall survive the Closing. 




ARTICLE 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES  


        Section 3.1    Representations and Warranties of the Sellers.    Each Seller, as applicable, represents and
warrants to Purchaser, with respect to such Seller's respective organization and existence and the Assets owned by such Seller, except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, as follows: 



        (a)    Corporate Organization of the Companies.    Each of the Sellers and the Companies has been duly organized and
is validly existing as a corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has the corporate or limited liability company

or the Companies or any portion of the Business to, any Person other than Purchaser or its Affiliates or (b) provide any assistance or any information to or otherwise cooperate with any Person
in connection with any such inquiry, proposal or transaction. 


        Section 4.4    Notification.    Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Sellers will promptly
notify Purchaser in writing if Sellers become aware of any fact or condition that they believe causes or constitutes a breach of any of the representations and warranties of Sellers as of the date of
this Agreement, or if Sellers become aware of the occurrence after the date of this Agreement of any fact
or condition that they believe would cause or constitute a breach of any such representation or warranty had such representation or warranty been made as of the time of occurrence or discovery of such
fact or condition, unless in each case such breach of representation and warranty is reasonably expected by Sellers to be cured prior to Closing. Any claim for a breach of covenant set forth in the
previous sentence shall be made only for the incremental Losses due to the failure to comply with such covenant (and not for Losses due to the breach of the underlying representation and warranty).
During the same period, Sellers will promptly notify Purchaser of the occurrence of any breach of any covenant of Sellers in this Article 4 or of the occurrence of any event that they believe
may make the satisfaction of the conditions in Article 7 impossible or unlikely. 


        Section 4.5    Nonforeign Affidavit.    As a condition precedent to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, all Sellers shall furnish Purchaser an affidavit, stating, under penalty of perjury, that the indicated number is the transferor's United States taxpayer identification
number and that the transferor is not a foreign person, pursuant to Section 1445(b)(2) of the Code. 



        Section 4.6    Water Rights.    Sellers and DIIC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve existing
water rights appurtenant to the Real Property Assets or the DIIC Land and/or owned by SDIC or DIIC. 


        Section 4.7    Change of Name.    Prior to Closing, Sellers shall have the right to cause the name of Starwood
Timeshare to be changed to exclude all references to "Starwood". 


ARTICLE 5

COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF PURCHASER  


        Section 5.1    Certain Transactions.    Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation,
partnership, 


19





 


association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to or the consummation of
such acquisition, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or significantly increase the risk of not obtaining, any
authorizations, consents, orders, declarations or approvals of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the expiration or termination of
any applicable waiting period, (ii) significantly increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, (iii) significantly increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise or (iv) materially delay or prevent the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser shall not conduct its
business in a manner or take, or cause to be taken, any other action that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay Sellers or Purchaser from consummating the transactions
contemplated hereby. 


        Section 5.2    HSR Act.    Subject to and in furtherance of Section 6.1, in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser (and, to the extent required, its Affiliates) shall comply promptly with the notification and reporting requirements of the HSR Act and use their
reasonable best efforts to obtain early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. Purchaser shall substantially comply with any additional requests for information, including requests for
production of documents and production of witnesses for interviews or depositions, by an Antitrust Authority. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall cause to be filed on or
prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day following the execution and delivery of the Agreement all initial applications and filings under the HSR Act. 


        Section 5.3    Gaming and Other Licenses.    As soon as practical, but in no event later than ten
(10) Business Days following the Effective Date, Purchaser will either file applications with all applicable Governmental Authorities including the Nevada Gaming Authorities, on behalf of
Purchaser and the Member of Purchaser for all required gaming licenses (the "Gaming Permits"), liquor licenses (the "Liquor
Licenses") and for all other required licenses (collectively with the Gaming Permits and the Liquor Licenses, the "Licenses") in
connection with the Business, and all related necessary findings of suitability, registrations and approvals. If Purchaser elects to pursue the Licenses, Purchaser will respond promptly to all
requests made by the Nevada Gaming Authorities and/or the alcoholic beverage control authorities, and will not take or omit to take, or permit any Subsidiary to take or omit to take any action which
would be reasonably likely to hinder or delay the issuance of the Gaming Permits or the Liquor Licenses. In addition, Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to (and shall use its
reasonable efforts to cause each of its Affiliates other than each of its Subsidiaries to), if it is necessary to obtain any regulatory approval for the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, disassociate themselves from any Person or Persons deemed, or reasonably likely to be deemed, unsuitable by any Gaming Commission and dispose of any assets which any Gaming Commission requests
be disposed of. At or prior to the Closing, Sellers will deliver to Purchaser true, correct and complete copies of material gaming financial reports, if any, filed with respect to the Business with
the State of Nevada and/or Nevada Gaming Authorities between the date hereof and the Closing. 


        Section 5.4    Notification.    Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Purchaser will
promptly notify Sellers in writing if Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries becomes aware of any fact or condition that it believes causes or constitutes a breach of any of the representations and
warranties of Purchaser as of the date of this Agreement, or if Purchaser or any of its respective Subsidiaries becomes aware of the occurrence after the date of this Agreement of any fact or
condition that it believes would cause or constitute a breach of any such representation or warranty had such representation or warranty been made as of the time of occurrence or discovery of such
fact or condition, unless in each case such breach of representation or warranty is reasonably expected by 


20





 




Purchaser to be cured prior to Closing. Any claim for a breach of covenant set forth in the previous sentence shall be made only for the incremental Losses due to the failure to comply with such
covenant (and not for Losses due to the breach of the underlying representation and warranty). During the same
period, Purchaser will promptly notify Sellers of the occurrence of any breach of any covenant of Purchaser in this Article 5 or of the occurrence of any event that it believes may make the
satisfaction of the conditions in Article 7 impossible or unlikely. 


        Section 5.5    Confidentiality.    



        (a)  Purchaser
agrees that all Confidential Information will be kept confidential and that Purchaser and its directors, trustees, officers, employees, advisors, agents,
lenders and consultants (collectively "Representatives") will not disclose in any manner whatsoever any of the Confidential Information, the fact that
the Confidential Information has been made available, or regarding this Agreement, the proposed sale of the Assets or the status thereof; provided,
however, that Purchaser may make any disclosure of such information (i) to which the Sellers gives their prior consent, (ii) to Purchaser's Representatives to the
extent such Representatives need to know such information for the sole purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) as may be required by law, (iv) in
connection with any proceedings before any regulatory bodies or agencies, and (v) to the Nevada Gaming Authorities. 


        (b)  The
term "Confidential Information" means all information and data furnished by Sellers or their Representatives to
Purchaser and shall be deemed to include, without limitation, Sellers' Materials, all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations or other documents prepared by any of the parties or their
respective Representatives that contain, reflect or are based upon, in whole or in part, the information furnished to Purchaser or its Representatives by or on behalf of Sellers, or any of their
Representatives. The term "Confidential Information" does not include information that (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Purchaser
or its Representatives, (ii) was known to Purchaser or its Representatives prior to being furnished to such party by or on behalf of Sellers, or (iii) was or becomes available to
Purchaser on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Sellers or their Representatives; provided, that the source of such information was not known to the recipient to be bound by a
confidentiality agreement or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information. 


        (c)  Without
limitation of the foregoing, neither Purchaser nor its Representatives shall, prior to the Closing, give any interview or issue any press release or announcement
concerning the fact of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except in consultation with Sellers. Without limitation of the foregoing, Purchaser shall not convey, other than to its
Representatives or financing sources on a need to know basis, information concerning Purchaser's plans for continuation or non-continuation of the Business or continued employment or
non-employment of Sellers' employees, or other information the disclosure of which would be likely to have a deleterious impact on the continued conduct of the Business pending the Closing
or following termination of this Agreement without the Closing having occurred. A breach of this paragraph shall entitle Sellers to terminate this Agreement for Purchaser's breach, and to retain the
Deposit on account thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing Purchaser and Sellers may make such disclosures as may be required by law, (i) in connection with any proceedings before any regulatory
bodies or agencies, and (ii) to the Nevada Gaming Authorities. 




        Section 5.6    Transfer.    As a material inducement to Sellers to accept the Purchase Price for the sale of
the Assets, Purchaser hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that (a) it has not entered into any agreement, arrangement, understanding or discussions for the sale, transfer or other
disposition other than with the Mirage Resorts, Incorporated ("Mirage") to any other Person of all or any substantial portion of the Assets, (including
without limitation any of the Real Property Assets, any 


21





 


of the residential lots currently owned by Starwood Timeshare or DI Timeshare, and the water rights currently held by SDIC and/or DIIC), or of a controlling interest in Valvino Lamore, LLC, or of any
successor in interest to Purchaser controlled by Wynn; that (b) prior to the Closing, it will not enter into any such agreement, arrangement or understanding or undertake, entertain or
participate in any such discussions other than as permitted under Section 12.3; and that (c) for at least one (1) year following the Closing Date, without the consent of Parent,
which Parent may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, neither Purchaser nor any successor or assign of Purchaser will, or will permit, the Companies, to enter into any such agreement,
arrangement or understanding or undertake, entertain or participate in any such discussions; provided, however, in the event the merger contemplated to occur between Mirage and MGM shall not occur,
Purchaser shall be entitled, to convey the Assets to Mirage or an Affiliate of Mirage, provided such transferee shall agree to be bound by and shall assume all of the obligations under this
Section 5.6. In the event that Parent consents to same, or in the event Purchaser (or its successors or assigns) violates the foregoing covenant, or a court of competent jurisdiction determines
that such covenant is unenforceable in whole or in part, and if in the further event Purchaser or any successor or assign to Purchaser controlled by Wynn shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
any of the Assets (including without limitation any of the Real Property Assets, any of the residential lots owned by Starwood Timeshare or DI Timeshare, and the water rights held by SDIC and/or
DIIC), or any controlling interest in Purchaser or successor to Purchaser, or shall enter into any agreement with respect to the same, within the one (1) year period following the Closing, then
Sellers shall further be entitled to receive, and Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to pay to Sellers within ten (10) days of receipt thereof an amount equal to twenty (20%) percent of the
proceeds derived by Purchaser, Starwood Timeshare, DI Timeshare and/or Purchaser's successor or assign from any such sale, transfer or other disposition. 



        Section 5.7    Timeshare; Right of First Refusal.    At any time and from time to time during the ten
(10) year period following the Closing ("Right of First Refusal Period"), Purchaser shall not engage in discussions or negotiate or enter into
any contract for development, construction, marketing or sale of interval sales or timeshare units ("Timeshare Units") on any portion of the Real
Property Assets, the DIIC Land or the Timeshare Lots, or any real property abutting any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Timeshare Real Property"),
nor shall Purchaser commence or enter into or negotiate any contract to commence the development, construction, marketing or sale of timeshare units on any portion of the Timeshare Real Property
(collectively, "Timeshare Development") except in compliance with the following terms and conditions. If Purchaser shall receive from, or determine to
extend to, any party other than Parent, a good faith offer to participate in any Timeshare Development, or if Purchaser shall determine to initiate a Timeshare Development with or without the
participation of other parties, then Purchaser shall, not do so unless Purchaser shall have first delivered to Parent written notice ("Timeshare Initiation
Notice") describing in detail (i) the offer ("Offer") which Purchaser has received or (ii) the Timeshare
Development which Purchaser has determined to initiate and setting forth the details of such Timeshare Development, including without limitation, the location of the development and the number of
units to be included therein. Upon receipt of the Timeshare Initiation Notice, Parent shall be entitled within the 30 day period following such receipt to accept, directly or through an
Affiliate, the Offer in the case of clause (i) or to elect to participate, directly or through an Affiliate, with Purchaser in the case of clause (ii)
("Participation"). The Participation by Parent or its Affiliate would be accomplished by the formation of a joint venture between Purchaser and Parent
or its
Affiliate pursuant to which (x) such joint venture would bear all costs of development, construction, management, marketing and sale, and capital (with real property contributed at its
appraised fair market value) would be contributed and profits distributed between Purchaser and Parent or its Affiliates on a 50/50 basis, (y) such joint venture would have a
10-year exclusive right to initiate Timeshare Developments at any location on the Timeshare Property, and (z) such joint venture will be entitled to have provided to it customary
development, hospitality, marketing and administrative services, all such services to be provided for reasonable and customary fees as agreed by the parties. All 


22





 




other terms of the joint venture shall be consistent with the foregoing and shall be negotiated in good faith by Purchaser and Parent. In the event that Parent shall either fail to timely notify
Purchaser of its desire, or shall elect not, to accept the Offer or enter into the Participation, Purchaser shall be entitled to consummate the Offer on exactly the terms thereof or to initiate the
Timeshare Development as described in clause (ii), without the participation of any other party. In the event that the Offer has not been consummated or the Timeshare Development initiated
within the six month period following Parent's election or deemed election not to proceed, then Purchaser shall not initiate the Timeshare Development as contemplated in the Timeshare Initiation
Notice without again first complying with the foregoing procedures. Parent's rights hereunder shall apply to each and every Timeshare Development proposed within the Right of First Refusal Period and
Parent's decision not to accept any particular Offer or to enter into any particular Participation shall not constitute a waiver of Parent's rights hereunder as to any subsequent Offer or
Participation. Concurrently with the Closing, Parent shall be entitled to record a memorandum of this Section 5.7 against the Real Property Assets, DIIC Land and the Timeshare Lots. The terms
of this Section 5.7 shall be binding on the successors and assigns of Purchaser, including without limitation, any permitted transferee of purchaser under Section 5.6 or
Section 12.3 hereof or any subsequent purchaser of all or any of the Timeshare Real Property, and shall inure to the benefit of Parent, its Affiliates and their respective successors and
assigns. 


ARTICLE 6

JOINT COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS  


        Section 6.1    Support of Transaction.    



        (a)  Each
of Sellers and Purchaser agree to cooperate with respect to the notices and filings to be made in connection with the consents, approvals, waivers and
authorizations required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of Sellers and Purchaser shall (i) use its commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to assemble,
prepare and file any information (and, as needed, to supplement such information) as may be necessary to obtain as promptly as practicable all governmental and regulatory consents required to be
obtained by it in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including in respect of any Gaming Law), (ii) use its commercially reasonable diligent efforts to obtain all material
consents and approvals of third parties that any of Sellers, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates is required to obtain in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and
(iii) take such other action as may reasonably be necessary or as another party may reasonably request to satisfy the conditions of Article 7 or otherwise to comply with this Agreement,
and to complete resolution of various pending title matters. In connection therewith and
not in limitation thereof, each party shall take or cause to be taken all actions reasonably necessary in relation to (i) obtaining of all necessary waivers, consents, authorizations and
approvals from Governmental Authorities or other parties and the making of necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or
to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Authority, and (ii) the defending of any legal proceedings challenging the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. 


        (b)  In
furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser agrees that it will comply with any requirements imposed by Governmental Authorities as a condition of Purchaser's obtaining
any Regulatory Authorizations required to be obtained by it in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 


        (c)  In
furtherance of the foregoing, Sellers agree that they will use their reasonable best efforts to obtain consents required under Contracts, or other third party
consents required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby ("Third Party Consents"), and Purchaser will cooperate in all reasonable respects,
and work together with Parent to obtain such Third Party Consents; provided, however, that Sellers shall not be required to make any material
expenditures 



23





 





to obtain such Third Party Consents. Further, if any such consent is not obtained Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to provide for Purchaser the benefit, monetary or otherwise, of any
such Contract including enforcement of any and all rights of Sellers against the other party thereto arising out of any breach or cancellation thereof by such party or otherwise. Any such cooperation
shall not cause Sellers to violate any such Contract. 




        Section 6.2    Approvals.    Each of Purchaser and Sellers shall as promptly as practicable, but in no event
later than ten (10) Business Days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, file or submit any applications, filings and other submissions required by applicable laws or by
Governmental Authorities in connection with obtaining all necessary regulatory consents, approvals, waivers and authorizations, other than the Licenses and approvals under the HSR Act which are the
subject of other provisions in this Agreement, required to be obtained prior to the Closing, (the "Regulatory Authorizations") and to respond to any
requests from Government Authorities and promptly file any additional information required in connection with such filings as promptly as practicable after receipt of requests therefor. Each of
Purchaser and Sellers agree to cooperate with and promptly to consult with, to provide any reasonably available information with respect to, and to provide the other party (and its counsel) advance
drafts and copies of all presentations and filings to be made in connection with the Regulatory Authorizations, including, without limitation, the Licenses and approval under the HSR Act. Purchaser
and Sellers shall keep each other promptly and regularly apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, the Gaming Authorities and
shall comply promptly with any such inquiry or request. 


        Section 6.3    Certain Employee Benefits Matters.    



        (a)  Effective
as of the Closing Date, the Sellers' employment of each of the employees of the Business (including two employees ("Rimtech
Employees") currently employed by Rimtech Marketing Incorporated) ("Transferring Employees") shall cease and the Transferring
Employees shall immediately become employees of Purchaser at the base compensation and wage levels in effect as of the Closing Date. Transferring Employees shall be employees at will and nothing in
this Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of Purchaser to continue the employment of any Transferring Employee for any period of time. However for the period beginning on the Closing Date
and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide employee benefit welfare and retirement plans and programs to the Transferring Employees (while continuing in the
employ of Purchaser) that are substantially similar in the aggregate to the employee benefit plans and programs listed on Schedule 3.1(1). The
employment by Purchaser of each Union Employee shall be done in accordance with the terms of each applicable collective bargaining agreement pertaining to such Union Employee. With regard to Union
Employees, Purchaser shall (i) recognize each labor union representing Union Employees as their exclusive bargaining representative, (ii) assume, and become party to and bound by the
terms and conditions of, each applicable collective bargaining agreement until the respective expiration date of the current term of each applicable collective bargaining agreement without respect to
any renewals, extensions or modifications therein or thereto, (iii) comply with its legal obligations under Federal labor law with regard to Union Employees, and (iv) treat service with
the Sellers and their Affiliates prior to the Closing Date in the same manner as such service has been recognized by the Sellers for purposes of determining seniority rights and benefits under the
applicable collective bargaining agreement (except where recognition of such service by Purchaser would result in a duplication of benefits provided). Except as otherwise required by the terms of any
such plan or applicable law, as of the Closing Date all Transferring Employees shall cease in participation in, and shall cease accruing any benefits under, any Pension Plan and Welfare Plan. 


        (b)    Severance.    Purchaser shall become responsible for payment, to any Transferring Employee, of any severance or
other similar compensation and benefits under any Employee Plan or other agreement with any such employee, which are or may become payable by Sellers or their 



24





 





respective Affiliates, as a result of the termination of any such employee by Purchaser, as of and following the Closing or which are or may become payable in connection with or as a result of the
transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser shall also reimburse Sellers for payment of such compensation and benefits to any such employee with respect to whom Purchaser indicates, whether directly
or by failure to affirm its intention to maintain such person's employment following the Closing, that Purchaser does not wish such employee to continue in his or her current capacity and compensation
level following the Closing. Such reimbursement will be effected by a deemed increase in Net Working Capital in the amount of such payments. Purchaser shall be entitled to any tax deductions or other
tax benefits attributable to any severance or other similar compensation or benefit payments for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to this Section 6.3. 


        (c)    Welfare Arrangements.    Subject to obligations under applicable law and the terms of any collective bargaining
agreements or other Contracts with any labor union or other labor organization covering Transferring Employee, Purchaser agrees that, for a period of one year from and after the Closing, it shall, or
shall cause its Affiliates to, provide the Transferring Employees with employee welfare and retirement plans and programs which provide benefits that are substantially similar to those provided to
similarly situated employees of Purchaser or such Affiliates. From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall become responsible for any and all liabilities with respect to the Transferring Employees
that are incurred by such individuals on or prior to the Closing Date under the applicable
Employee Plans for health, life, accidental death and dismemberment, supplemental employment compensation, dental, fringe benefits, expense reimbursement, accident, sickness and disability benefits;  provided
that with the consent of any applicable labor union representing Union Employees, Union Employees may be permitted to carry forward such
accrued vacation or sick pay, to be paid by Purchaser, the amount of such accrued items as of the Closing to be included as a payable in the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital pursuant to
Section 1.5 hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) a claim for health benefits (including, without limitation, claims for medical, prescription drug, dental, and vision care
expenses) will be deemed to have been incurred on the date on which the related medical service was rendered to the claimant; (ii) a claim for sickness or disability benefits will be deemed to
have been incurred on the date such sickness or disability occurs, except that no claim shall be deemed to have occurred prior to the Closing Date unless such claim is filed within five
(5) Business Days prior to the Determination Period; and (iii) in the case of any claim for benefits other than health benefits (e.g., life insurance benefits), a claim will be deemed to
have been incurred upon the occurrence of the event giving rise to such claims. Purchaser shall be responsible for all claims that are incurred by Transferring Employees on or after the Closing Date
under the applicable benefit plans, policies or arrangements providing health, life, accidental death and dismemberment, supplemental employment compensation, dental, fringe benefits, expense
reimbursement, accident, sickness and disability benefits and which are maintained by Purchaser. 


        (d)    Service Credit.    Following the Closing, Purchaser shall cause all employee benefit plans of Purchaser or its
Affiliates to provide that a Transferring Employee's period of employment with Sellers or their Affiliates or any predecessor thereof (as applicable) shall be treated as service for Purchaser, or its
Affiliates, as applicable, for purposes of eligibility and vesting. Any and all pre-existing condition limitations and eligibility waiting periods under any group health plan shall be
waived with respect to the Transferring Employees and their eligible dependents, and Transferring Employees shall be given credit for amounts paid under any Welfare Plan during the same period for
purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
employee welfare plans maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates. 



25





 




        (e)    Honor Agreements.    Purchaser agrees to assume, honor, maintain and perform, and to cause its affiliates to
assume, honor, maintain and perform in accordance with their respective terms, without deductions, counterclaims, interruptions or deferments (other than withholding under applicable law), the
individual employment and severance agreements and arrangements, as amended through the date hereof or as contemplated hereby, that are in effect now or as of Closing with respect to a Transferring
Employee. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, honor and discharge all obligations under any collective bargaining agreement or other Contract with any labor union or other labor
organization covering Transferring Employees or former employees of the Sellers in effect as of the date hereof until their expiration; provided,
however, that this undertaking is not intended to prevent Purchaser or its Affiliates from lawfully and properly exercising their rights with respect to such collective
bargaining agreements in accordance with their terms. 


        (f)    Indemnification.    Purchaser agrees to bear, and indemnify and hold Sellers harmless from and against, all
direct and indirect costs, expenses and liabilities arising from or relating to claims made by or on
behalf of the Transferring Employees in respect of all notices, payments, fines or assessments due to any government authority pursuant to any applicable foreign, federal, state or local law, common
law, statute, rule or regulation with respect to the employment, discharge or layoff of Transferring Employees, including, but not limited to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, and
any rules or regulations as have been issued in connection with any of the foregoing, and for any liability or benefit continuation obligation under Section 4980B of the Code and Sections
601-609 of ERISA. 




        Section 6.4    Multiemployer Plans.    With respect to each Multiemployer Plan (as defined below), after the
Closing: 



        (a)  Purchaser
will be obligated to make contributions to the Multiemployer Plans (as defined below) in accordance with all collective bargaining agreements relating thereto
and shall contribute to each such Multiemployer Plan with respect to such operations for substantially the same number of contribution base units for which SDIC has an obligation to contribute to such
Multiemployer Plan. 


        (b)  For
purposes of this Agreement, the "Multiemployer Plans" shall mean, collectively: (i) the Teamsters Security
Fund for Southern Nevada; (ii) the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Trust Fund; (iii) the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees International Union Welfare Fund;
(iv) the Southern Nevada Culinary Workers and Bartenders Pension Plan Trust Agreement; (v) the Operating Engineers Local 501 Security Fund; (vi) the Central Pension Fund of the
International Union of Operating Engineers and Participating Employers; (vii) the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees International Union Welfare Fund; (viii) the American
Federation of Musicians' and Employers' Pension Fund; (ix) the Electrical Workers Health and Welfare Trust Fund; (x) the National Employees Benefit Board; (xi) the Nevada Resort
Association-I.A.T.S.E. Local 720 Apprentice and Journeyman Training and Education Trust; (xii) the Nevada Resort Association-I.A.T.S.E. Local 720 Disability Trust;
(xiii) the Carpenters Health and Welfare Trust Fund; (xiv) the Construction Industry and Carpenters Joint Pension Trust Fund; (xv) the Painters' Trust (welfare fund); and
(xvi) the I.B.P.A.T. Union and Industry National Pension Fund. 


        (c)  Unless
and until a variance or exemption is obtained in accordance with section 4204(c) of ERISA, Purchaser will provide to each Multiemployer Plan, for a period
of five plan years commencing with the first plan year beginning after the Closing, a bond issued by a corporate surety company that is an acceptable surety for purposes of section 412 of
ERISA, or an amount held in escrow by a bank or similar financial institution satisfactory to the Multiemployer Plan, or 



26





 





such other security as may be permitted under section 4204(a)(1)(B) of ERISA or regulations thereunder, in an amount equal to the greater of: 



          (i)  the
average annual contribution required to be made by SDIC to each Multiemployer Plan with respect to the operations thereunder for the three plan years preceding the
plan year in which the Closing occurs, or 


        (ii)  the
annual contribution that SDIC was required to make with respect to the operations under each Multiemployer Plan for the last plan year before the plan year in which
the Closing occurs, which bond or escrow shall be paid to any such Multiemployer Plan if Purchaser withdraws from such Multiemployer Plan, or fails to make a contribution to such Multiemployer Plan
when due, at any time during the first five plan years beginning after the Closing. 




        (d)  If
Purchaser withdraws from any Multiemployer Plan in a complete' withdrawal or a partial withdrawal with respect to the Union Employees within the period referred to in
the preceding subsection 6.4(c), SDIC agrees to be secondarily liable for any withdrawal liability SDIC would have had at the Closing Date to such Multiemployer Plan, but for the application of
section 4204 of ERISA, if the withdrawal liability of Purchaser with respect to such Multiemployer Plan is not paid. 


        (e)  Purchaser
shall indemnify and hold SDIC harmless from, against and in respect of (and shall on demand reimburse SDIC for) the amount of any secondary liability incurred
by SDIC under section 4204 of ERISA which is in excess of 50% of the potential withdrawal liability of SDIC determined as of the Closing, such determination to be made on a
plan-by-plan basis; provided, however, that if withdrawal liability is triggered by reason of Purchaser's failure to comply with
any provision of the preceding subsections 6.4(a) or (c) (it being understood that any withdrawal by Purchaser from any Multiemployer Plan shall not be deemed such a failure to comply),
Purchaser's indemnification of SDIC shall be without limitation for any such secondary liability. 


        (f)    In
the event of a subsequent sale of Assets by Purchaser during the five-year period referenced in Section 6.4(c), Purchaser agrees to use its best
efforts to comply with the provisions of section 4204(a)(1) of ERISA if such sale of Assets would trigger secondary liability on Purchaser. 


        (g)  If
SDIC is liquidated before the end of the first five plan years beginning after Closing, then, except as may otherwise be required by law, SDIC shall provide a bond,
an amount in escrow or such other security as may be permitted under section 4204(a)(1)(B) of ERISA or regulations thereunder, equal to the present value of the withdrawal liability SDIC or its
affiliates would have had but for the application of section 4204 of ERISA, which bond, amount in escrow or other security may be applied toward the satisfaction of SDK's secondary liability
described in subsection 6.4(d) hereof. 


        (h)  Purchaser
agrees to provide SDIC with reasonable advance notice of any action or event which could result in the imposition of withdrawal liability contemplated by this
Section 6.4 and in any event Purchaser shall immediately furnish SDIC with a copy of any notice of withdrawal liability it may receive with respect to any Multiemployer Plan, together with all
the pertinent details. In the event that any such withdrawal liability shall be assessed against Purchaser, Purchaser further agrees to provide SDIC with reasonable advance notice of any intention on
the part of Purchaser not to make full payment of any withdrawal liability when the same shall become due.

        Section 6.5    Intentionally Omitted.    


        Section 6.6    Closings Under Certain Circumstances.    



        (a)    Failure to Obtain Gaming Permits.    The parties recognize that Purchaser may not obtain the Gaming Permits
prior to the Outside Date. Accordingly, in such event, Purchaser shall deposit the balance of the Purchase Price with Escrowee and upon confirmation of receipt of funds and satisfaction of all other
conditions to Closing, SDIC shall surrender its' Gaming Permit and close all operations in the casino. 



        (b)    Failure to Obtain Liquor Licenses.    If Purchaser has not obtained the necessary Liquor Licenses on or before
the Outside Date, the liquor inventories comprising a portion of the Assets may at the election of Purchaser either be stored to the extent such storage is legal, and/or sold to a licensed third party
(with a commensurate increase in the Purchase Price to be paid by such third party to reflect the net book value of such liquor inventories) in a manner permitted under applicable Nevada Law. 


        (c)    PUC Approval.    The parties hereto acknowledge that DIIC is a "Public Utility" in accordance with the
provisions of NRS Sections 704.020 and 704.329 and sale and transfer of the DIIC Shares, which constitutes more than twenty-five percent of the outstanding shares of DIIC, requires prior
authorization of the Nevada Public Utilities Commission ("PUC"). Accordingly, the transfer of the DIIC Shares shall be deferred pending PUC approval and
Purchaser and SGC shall act diligently and in good faith to obtain approval for the transfer of such shares to Purchaser as soon as possible, whether on or after the Closing and to transfer the DIIC
Shares to Purchaser promptly following such approval, and, if such approval is not obtained prior to the Closing, then from and after the Closing and unless and until such transfer shall occur, to
make available to Purchaser to the maximum extent permitted by law the economic benefits of ownership of the DIIC Shares, and Purchaser, to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall assume and
relieve SGC of the economic burdens of ownership of the DIIC Shares. 




        Section 6.7    Post-Closing Cooperation.    After the Closing, upon reasonable written notice,
Purchaser and Sellers shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the other party and its employees, counsel, auditors and representatives access, during normal business hours, such information and
assistance relating to the Business as is reasonably necessary for financial reporting and accounting matters, the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns, reports or forms or the defense of any Tax
audit, claim or assessment. Each party shall reimburse the other for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in assisting the other pursuant to this
Section 6.7. Neither party shall be required by this Section 6.7 to take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of its business or unreasonably disrupt its normal
operations. Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser in connection with any filings required to be made by Purchaser with Governmental Authorities after the
Closing. 


        Section 6.8    Form of Instruments, Etc. to be Reasonably Satisfactory.    The parties agree that the form and
substance of all actions, proceedings, instruments and documents required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the reasonable approval of each party and
their respective counsel. 


        Section 6.9    Additional Agreements of Sellers.    Sellers agree that it will be solely responsible for the
payment of any fees or taxes due pursuant to any subsequent deficiency determinations made under the Nevada Gaming Control Act (chapter 463 of the NRS) which encompasses any period of time before the
Closing Date. The foregoing provision, required by the Nevada Gaming Control Act to be included in this Agreement, shall not be construed to exonerate Purchaser from paying, or to require Sellers to
pay, for fees or taxes attributable to operations of the Business from and after the Closing Date. 


28





 



        Section 6.10    Title Policies.    At the Closing, Purchaser shall obtain an ALTA owner's policy of title
insurance, issued by Title Insurer, insuring that Purchaser has fee title to the Real Property Assets that DIIC has fee title to the real property described as Parcels 46 and 47 in Title Report A
("DIIC Land"), that Starwood Timeshare has fee title to real property described as Parcels 16 through 44 ("Starwood Timeshare
Lots") and DI Timeshare has fee title to the real property described in Title Report B ("DI Timeshare Lots") subject only to
(i) the Permitted Liens, (ii) liens for taxes not yet due and payable, (iii) all standard exceptions, exclusions, conditions and stipulations from coverage for the Title Insurer's
ALTA Owner's Policy of Title Insurance, including any and all endorsements customary in real estate sale transactions involving the magnitude and type of the Real Property Assets and (iv) those
exceptions arising after the date hereof and approved by Purchaser as provided above (the "Title Policies"). The coverage amount of the Title Policies for the Real Property Assets and the real
property held by the Companies shall be no more than the portion of the Purchase Price reasonably allocable thereto.

        (c)  The

ARTICLE 8

TERMINATION  


        Section 8.1    Termination.    This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby
abandoned: 



        (a)  by
mutual written agreement of Sellers and Purchaser; 


        (b)  by
Sellers if Purchaser shall fail timely to make the Deposit or any portion thereof; 


        (c)  by
Sellers if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before the Outside Date other than by reason of Sellers' default; 



        (d)  by
Sellers if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or 7.3 shall have become incapable of fulfillment as of the Outside Date and shall not have been
waived by Sellers; 


        (e)  by
Purchaser if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 (but only to the extent such conditions may be a condition for the benefit of Purchaser) or 7.2
shall have become incapable of fulfillment as of the Outside Date and shall not have been waived by Purchaser. 




        Section 8.2    Effect of Termination.    In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8.1, except as set forth in this Section 8.2 and in Section 8.3 below, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of
any party hereto or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors or stockholders; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.2 shall relieve or limit the liability or obligations
hereunder of any party (the "Defaulting Party") to the other party or parties on account of a material breach of a covenant or agreement contained
herein, or any fraudulent representation or warranty contained herein by the Defaulting 


30





 


Party prior and further, upon any termination of this Agreement. The provisions of Sections 8.2, 8.3, 9.2, 9.3, 12.5, 12.6 and 12.12 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 


        Section 8.3    Liquidated Damages.    



        (a)  BECAUSE
OF THE MAGNITUDE AND UNIQUE NATURE OF THE PROPERTY RIGHTS TO BE CONVEYED, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLERS' DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF PURCHASER'S FAILURE TO
CONSUMMATE THE CLOSING IN ACCORDANCE WITH PURCHASER'S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICAL OF ASCERTAINMENT. THE PARTIES HAVE EXPRESSLY NEGOTIATED THIS PROVISION, AND HAVE
AGREED THAT IN LIGHT OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AT THE TIME OF EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DEPOSIT TOGETHER WITH ACCRUED INTEREST OR DIVIDENDS THEREON PRIOR TO RELEASE
THEREOF TO SELLERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT, REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE HARM LIKELY TO BE SUFFERED BY SELLERS IN THE EVENT THAT PURCHASER SHALL, FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN
SELLERS' DEFAULT OR FAILURE OF ANY OF THE CLOSING CONDITIONS WHICH MAY BE A CONDITION FOR THE BENEFIT OF PURCHASER, FAIL TO CONSUMMATE THE CLOSING, SELLERS' ACTUAL DAMAGES MIGHT WELL EXCEED THE AMOUNT
OF THE DEPOSIT AND ALL INTEREST THEREON, BUT THAT PROOF OF ACTUAL DAMAGES WOULD BE COSTLY OR IMPRACTICAL. ACCORDINGLY, IN THE EVENT THAT PURCHASER SHALL FAIL TO TIMELY CONSUMMATE THE CLOSING FOR ANY
REASON OTHER THAN SELLERS' BREACH OR THE FAILURE OF A CLOSING CONDITION TO WHICH BENEFIT PURCHASER IS ENTITLED, TIME BEING OF THE STRICTEST ESSENCE
OF EACH AND EVERY PROVISION HEREOF, THEN SELLERS SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RETAIN AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES THE DEPOSIT, INCLUDING ALL INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON, AS SELLERS' SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR SUCH
FAILURE BY PURCHASER. 


        FURTHER,
NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL LIMIT OR MODIFY PARENT OR SELLERS' RIGHTS TO BE INDEMNIFIED, DEFENDED AND HELD HARMLESS BY PURCHASER PURSUANT TO THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS
AGREEMENT. THE PROVISION OF THIS SECTION 8.3 SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. 



	PURCHASER'S INITIALS	/s/	 	SELLERS' INITIALS	 
	 	
	 	 	







        (b)  IN
THE EVENT SELLERS SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, PURCHASER SHALL REFRAIN FROM OBSTRUCTING OR INTERFERING IN ANY WAY WITH SELLERS'
EXERCISE OF SUCH REMEDIES AND SHALL EXECUTE A RELEASE IN FORM REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO SELLERS' COUNSEL OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST SELLERS, THE BUSINESS AND THE ASSETS WITHIN THREE
(3) BUSINESS DAYS OF SELLERS' DEMAND THEREFOR. IN THE EVENT PURCHASER SHALL THEREAFTER FAIL OR REFUSE SO TO COOPERATE WITH SELLERS IN THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE CANCELLATION OF
ESCROW, THE PAYMENT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THE FOREGOING DESCRIBED RELEASE, THEN SELLERS MAY ELECT TO PURSUE ANY AND ALL REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO THEM AT LAW OR IN EQUITY
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ACTUAL DAMAGES. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTION COMMENCED BY SELLERS OR PURCHASER OVER DISPOSITION OF THE DEPOSIT OR MONEY DAMAGES ASSERTED BY SELLERS FOR PURCHASER'S ALLEGED
BREACH OR BY PURCHASER FOR SELLERS' ALLEGED BREACH OF THIS 



31





 


AGREEMENT, THE PREVAILING PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER, IN ADDITION TO ITS COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' AND CONSULTANTS' FEES, INTEREST AT TEN (10%) PERCENT PER ANNUM ON THE SUM
ULTIMATELY RECOVERED, CALCULATED FROM THE EXPIRATION OF SAID THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS FROM AND AFTER SAID DATE. 



        (c)  IN
THE EVENT THAT PURCHASER SHALL HAVE FULLY AND TIMELY PERFORMED ALL OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE TIMELY MAKING OF THE
DEPOSIT PURSUANT TO SECTION 1.3 HEREOF, THERE SHALL BE NO CONDITIONS TO SELLERS' OBLIGATIONS THAT REMAIN UNSATISFIED, AND PURCHASER IS UNCONDITIONALLY PREPARED TO CLOSE, THEN IN SUCH EVENT, IF SELLERS
SHALL FAIL OR REFUSE TO CLOSE, PURCHASER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE TOGETHER WITH OTHER REMEDIES AVAILABLE AT LAW OR IN EQUITY. 



ARTICLE 9

INDEMNIFICATION  


        Section 9.1    Survival of Representations and Warranties.    Subject to the limitations and other provisions
of this Agreement, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 shall survive the Closing for a period of one year and all other representations and
warranties shall expire as of Closing. 


        Section 9.2    Indemnification by Purchaser.    



        (a)  Purchaser
agrees, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, to indemnify Parent, Sellers, Affiliates of Sellers and their respective officers,
directors, agents or employees, and their respective successors and assigns (each a "Seller Indemnified Party") against and hold each Seller Indemnified
Party harmless from all Losses (without duplication) to such Seller Indemnified Party arising out of (i) the breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser herein, (ii) the breach
of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser herein or (iii) following the Closing, the Gramanz Contract and the Assumed Liabilities. Anything in Section 9.1 to the contrary
notwithstanding, no claim may be asserted nor may any action be commenced against Purchaser for breach of any representation or warranty contained herein, unless written notice of such claim or action
is received by Purchaser describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or action on or prior to the date on which the representation or
warranty on which such claim or action is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 9.1, whether or not the subject matter of such claim or action shall have occurred before or after such
date. 


        (b)  Sellers
agree to give, and cause each Seller Indemnified Party to give, Purchaser written notice of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding by or in respect of a third
party as to which it may request indemnification hereunder as soon as is practicable and in any event within 30 days of the time that such Seller Indemnified Party learns of such claim,
assertion, event or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify Purchaser shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder except
to the extent that Purchaser is actually prejudiced by such failure. Within 30 days after receipt of such
notification, Purchaser may elect to direct, through counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Seller Indemnified Party, the defense or settlement of any such claim or proceeding at its
own expense; provided, that no settlement will be made without the consent of the Seller Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If Purchaser elects to assume the defense of
any such claim or proceeding, the Seller Indemnified Party may participate in such defense, but in such case the expenses of the Seller Indemnified Party shall be 



32





 





paid by such Seller Indemnified Party. Sellers shall provide, or cause such Seller Indemnified Party to provide, Purchaser with access to its records and personnel relating to any such claim,
assertion, event or proceeding during normal business hours and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in the defense or settlement thereof, and Purchaser shall reimburse Sellers or the
Seller Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith. If Purchaser elects to direct the defense of any such claim or proceeding, the
Seller Indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of any claim or demand arising from such asserted liability, unless Purchaser consents (which consent is not to be unreasonably
withheld) in writing to such payment or unless: Purchaser, subject to the last sentence of this Section 9.2(b), withdraws from the defense of such asserted liability, or unless a final judgment
from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of Purchaser is entered against the Seller Indemnified Party for such liability. If Purchaser shall not be entitled to direct the defense, or fails to
defend, or if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, Purchaser fails to prosecute or withdraws from such defense, the Seller Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense
or settlement thereof, at Purchaser's expense. If the Seller Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any such claim or proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.2(b) and proposes to settle such
claim or proceeding prior to a final judgment thereon or to forego appeal with respect thereto, then Sellers shall give, or cause such Seller Indemnified Party to give, Purchaser prompt written notice
thereof and Purchaser shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such claim or proceeding. 


        (c)  In
addition to Purchaser's obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section 9.2, and notwithstanding the procedural requirements of Section 9.2(b) above,
the following provisions of this Section 9.2(c) will obtain and control with respect to that certain litigation pending in Special Board Number Five Bis of the Local Conciliation and
Arbitration Board of the Federal District, Mexico ("Special Board"), captioned Elias Antonio Haddad Tamé ("Tamé") vs. Rimtech Corporation and
Sheraton Desert Inn Corporation et. al and/or any other proceeding brought or involving Tame and concerning his work for or severance by Rimtech Marketing Incorporated, AKA
Rimtech Corporation ("Rimtech") (the "Severance Litigation"). Sellers have made available to Purchaser litigation files maintained by Seller's in-house counsel, Marc Rubinstein, at SDIC,
and letters written by advisory counsel addressed to Marc Rubinstein dated January 26, 1999 (the "January 26 Letter") and April 25, 2000 (the "April 25 Letter"), concerning
the Severance Litigation. Purchaser hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold harmless Seller Indemnified Party, wherever located, including, without limitation, ITT Sheraton Corporation, Sheraton
International, Inc. and Sheraton International de Mexico, Inc., each of which Sellers represents is an Affiliate of a Seller or any of the hotels in Mexico in which Sheraton has an
interest and Rimtech, from and against any and all Losses arising out of or in connection with the Severance Litigation. Without limitation of the foregoing, on the Closing, Purchaser will undertake,
at its sole cost and expense, the defense, appeal, settlement and payment of any Losses on account of the Severance Litigation, including, without limitation, that certain resolution pronounced by the
Special Board against SDIC and Rimtech, which is the subject of the January 26 Letter and the April 25 Letter. Further, without limitation of the foregoing, in the event any attachment
or other writ or order shall be issued against any Seller Indemnified Party and/or any properties in Mexico, the United States or elsewhere in the world, owned by a Seller Indemnified Party or in
which a Seller Indemnified Party has an interest, Purchaser will be responsible for satisfying, bonding against, and/or obtaining release of
such party or properties from such writ or order. In the event Purchaser fails so to do within 20 days from and after notice from Sellers or their representatives of any such writ or order and
in any event prior to execution, levy or other enforcement of such writ or order, Sellers shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay or otherwise satisfy any such writ or order required to
obtain the full release of any such property from such writ or order, and Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that it shall be obligated to reimburse Sellers for the same, together with legal fees 



33





 





and expenses incurred in connection therewith, plus interest on all such sums, at the rate of 10% per annum. Purchaser shall have the right to assert any and all defenses available to Seller
Indemnified Parties and to continue to contest the Severance Litigation. Sellers shall cooperate; in such defense and contest so long as no Seller Indemnified Party is required to incur monetary
expense and so long as no asset of any Seller Indemnified Party shall be attached. 




        Section 9.3    Indemnification by Sellers.    



        (a)  Sellers
agree, jointly and severally, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, to indemnify Purchaser, Affiliates of Purchaser, and each of their
respective officers, directors, agents or employees, and their respective successors and assigns (each a "Purchaser Indemnified Party") against and hold
each Purchaser Indemnified Party harmless from all Losses (without duplication) to such Purchaser Indemnified Party arising out of (i) the breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers
herein, (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement of Sellers herein or (iii) the Retained Liabilities. Anything in Section 9.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, no claim may be
asserted nor any action commenced against Sellers for breach of any representation or warranty contained herein, unless written notice of such claim or action is received by Sellers describing in
detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or action on or prior to the date on which the representation or warranty on which such claim or action is based
ceases to survive as set forth in Section 9.1, whether or not the subject matter of such claim or action shall have occurred before or after such date. 


        (b)  (i) The
indemnification obligations of Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, pursuant to Section 9 3(a)(i), shall not be
effective until the aggregate dollar amount of all Losses that would otherwise be indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(i) exceeds One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($1,500,000) Dollars (the "Seller's Threshold Amount"), at which point such obligations shall be effective only as to the amount of such Losses in
excess of the Seller's Threshold Amount, subject to the limitation in Section 9.3(b)(ii); and (ii) the indemnification obligations of Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, including
without limitation, pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(i) shall be effective only until the dollar amount paid in respect of the Losses indemnified against under this Agreement, including
without limitation, under Section 93(a)(i) aggregates to an amount equal to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000). 


        (c)  Purchaser
agrees to give, and to cause each Purchaser Indemnified Party to give, Parent written notice of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding by or in respect of a
third party as to which it may request indemnification hereunder or as to which Seller's Threshold Amount may be applied as soon as is practicable and in any event within 30 days of the time
that such Purchaser Indemnified Party learns
of such claim, assertion, event or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify Sellers shall not affect rights to indemnification
hereunder except to the extent that Sellers are actually prejudiced by such failure. Within 30 days after receipt of such notification, Sellers may elect to direct, through counsel of its own
choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Indemnified Party, the defense or settlement of any such claim or proceeding at their own expense;  provided, that no settlement will be made without the
consent of the Purchaser Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If
Sellers elect to assume the defense of any such claim or proceeding, the Purchaser Indemnified Party may participate in such defense, but in such case the expenses of the Purchaser Indemnified Party
shall be paid by such Purchaser Indemnified Party. Purchaser shall provide, or cause the Purchaser Indemnified Party to provide, Sellers with access to its records and, personnel relating to any such
claim, assertion, event or proceeding during normal business hours and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Sellers in the defense or settlement thereof, and Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser or
the Purchaser Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith. If Sellers elect to direct the defense of any such claim or proceeding,
the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of any claim or demand arising from such asserted liability 



34





 





unless Sellers consent (which consents are not to be unreasonably withheld) in writing to such payment or unless Sellers, subject to the last sentence of this Section 9.3(c), withdraws from
the defense of such asserted liability or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of Sellers are entered against the Purchaser Indemnified Party for such liability.
If Sellers shall not be entitled to direct the defense, or fails to defend, or, if after commencing or undertaking any such defense, Sellers fail to prosecute or withdraw from such defense, the
Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or settlement thereof, at the expense of Sellers. If the Purchaser Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any such claim or
proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.3(c) and proposes to settle such claim or proceeding prior to a final judgment thereon or to forego any appeal with respect thereto, then the Purchaser
Indemnified Party shall give Sellers prompt written notice thereof and Sellers shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such claim or proceeding. 




        Section 9.4    Losses Net of Insurance and Tax Benefits.    



        (a)  The
amount of any and all Losses indemnified under this Agreement shall be determined net of any amounts recovered by or to which the indemnified party is entitled under
insurance policies, indemnities or other reimbursement arrangements with respect to such Losses. The amount of any and all Losses indemnified under this Agreement shall be computed to take into
account and to deduct therefrom (i) any prior or subsequent recovery in respect of part or all of a claim by a Seller Indemnified Party or a Purchaser Indemnified Party, as the case may be,
whether by payment, discount, credit, offset or otherwise and (ii) the amount of any provision reflected as a current liability in the Closing Balance Sheet in respect of matters giving rise to
such Losses. 




        Section 9.5    Exclusive Remedy.    Except for any claim (a) grounded in fraud or (b) seeking
equitable relief or remedial action, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing Date, the indemnification provisions of this Article 9 shall be the exclusive
remedy of Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. With respect to actions grounded in fraud or seeking equitable
relief or remedial action, (y) the right of a
party to be indemnified and held harmless pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Article 9 shall be in addition to and cumulative of any rights of such party at law or in equity and
(z) no such party shall, by exercising the remedy available to it under this Article 9, be deemed to have elected such remedy exclusively or to have waived any other remedy, whether at
law or in equity, available to it. No Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek damages pursuant to this Article 9 other than actual damages, and in no
event shall any party be entitled to seek or receive punitive or consequential damages. 


        Section 9.6    Limitation on Liability Following Notice of Breach.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, following the Closing, (a) no Seller shall be liable to any Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of any breach of a representation or warranty by Sellers if (i) such

(iii) notwithstanding such notification, the Closing shall have occurred and (b) Purchaser shall not be liable to any Sellers Indemnified Party in respect of any breach of a
representation or warranty by Purchaser if (i) such breach is disclosed to Parent prior to Closing pursuant to Section 5.4, (ii) such breach would constitute a failure of a

assigned to Purchaser at the Closing with no reduction in the Purchase Price. This Article 13 is intended as an express provision with respect to destruction and condemnation which supersedes
