                              SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

     THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT is made this 29th day of August, 2001, by and
between David F. DeCort, Malcolm Butler, Albert E. Whitehead and John Dorrier
(collectively "Plaintiffs") and Seven Seas Petroleum, Inc. ("Seven Seas") and
Robert A. Hefner, III ("Hefner") (collectively "Defendants").

                            I. Purpose of Settlement

     Plaintiffs and Defendants enter into this Settlement Agreement for the
purpose of settling and resolving for all time and all purposes all claims,
causes of action, business disputes and other disagreements of Plaintiffs and
Defendants arising from:

     (a) any dealings or relationships of Plaintiffs and Defendants existing as
relating to the matters involved in the litigation described in paragraph 1(b),
below;

     (b) the litigation pending in the District Court of Harris County, State of
Texas, styled DeCort, et al. v. Seven Seas, et al., Case No. 2000-50498 (the
"Litigation"); and

     (c) any and all other claims or contentions arising from any other alleged
act or omission of Plaintiffs and/or Defendants as to the other.

                                 II. Background

     On May 20, 1997, a change of control of Seven Seas' Board of Directors
occurred, the result of which was that Hefner became Chairman of the Board of
Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Seven Seas, plaintiffs Whitehead and
Butler resigned from Seven Seas, and plaintiffs DeCort and Dorrier remained
employed by Seven Seas. On May 20, 1997, plaintiff Whitehead executed a
Consulting Agreement with Seven Seas, while plaintiff Butler executed a
Settlement Agreement with Seven Seas. In September, 1997, plaintiff Dorrier
separated employment with Seven Seas. Plaintiff Dorrier and Seven Seas entered
into a Settlement Agreement. In December, 1997, plaintiff DeCort voluntarily
terminated his employment with Seven Seas pursuant to the terms of his
Employment Agreement with Seven Seas.

     In October, 2000, Plaintiffs sued Defendants (and others who have since
been dismissed from the Litigation), alleging that Seven Seas breached the
agreements identified above, and that both Defendants committed fraud.
Defendants denied the allegations contained in the several Petitions filed in
the Litigation by Plaintiffs, and filed a Counterclaim against plaintiffs
Whitehead and Butler alleging that they breached their fiduciary obligations to
Seven Seas during the time of their employment with Seven Seas. Plaintiffs
Whitehead and Butler denied the allegations contained in the Counterclaim.

                            III. Terms of Settlement

     In consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, and to accomplish
the purposes stated above, the parties agree as follows:

<PAGE>

     (a) The parties will release all claims and causes of action against one
another as set forth more fully below.

     (b) The parties will file a Dismissal in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit "A" in which the parties will dismiss with prejudice all claims and
counterclaims pending in the Litigation.

     (c) Seven Seas will pay to Plaintiffs' counsel, Shellist, Lore & Lazarz,
LTD, L.L.P., on behalf of Plaintiffs, a sum totaling $1,000,000.00 within five
(5) business days of the execution of this Agreement.

     (d) A rights offering (the "Rights Offering") is to be made to the common
stockholders of Seven Seas pursuant to which Seven Seas' shareholders will be
granted the right to purchase an approximate pro rata share of Seven Seas'
Series A senior secured notes due 2004 in the aggregate principal amount of
$22,500,000.00 coupled with detachable warrants. Hefner agrees to transfer by
appropriate assignment to Plaintiffs and, at their request, their counsel as set
forth below in part (e) upon receipt at the closing of the Rights Offering
warrants to purchase 200,000 common shares of Seven Seas' stock at the
approximate price of $1.78 per share. Hefner has the authority to transfer to
Plaintiffs and their counsel by appropriate assignment of warrants that he may

                               With the Warrants

     By accepting the warrants in connection with this Settlement Agreement,
Plaintiffs and their counsel hereby represent and warrant to Defendants as
follows:

     (a) Plaintiffs and their counsel understand that Seven Seas is subject to
the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and in
accordance therewith files annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy
statements and other information with the SEC. Plaintiffs and their counsel also

the Rights Offering, under the Securities Act of 1933. Plaintiffs and their
counsel acknowledge that they have had the opportunity to review all such
documents and have had the

                                       2

opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the information and
to obtain any additional information which Seven Seas possesses or can acquire
without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to verify the accuracy
of the information furnished.

     (b) Each Plaintiff and each of Plaintiffs' counsel represents that either
he is an accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D under the
Securities Act or has, either alone or with his purchaser representative (as
defined in Regulation D), such knowledge and experience in business matters that
he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment.

     (c) Plaintiffs and their counsel understand that the warrants to be
transferred by Hefner are "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");

     (d) Plaintiffs and their counsel are accepting the warrants as part of this
Settlement Agreement for investment purposes only, for Plaintiffs' and their
counsels' own accounts and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with,
the distribution thereof.

     (e) Plaintiffs and their counsel understand that the warrants may not be
sold for one year from the date of this Settlement Agreement unless the warrants
are registered under the Securities Act or sold pursuant to an exemption
therein; and

     (f) Plaintiffs and their counsel understand that the warrants as
"restricted securities" shall bear the following legend:

     THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
     SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE WARRANTS HAVE BEEN
     ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR
     HYPOTHECATED UNLESS (i) THEY SHALL HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
     SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES ACTS, OR (ii)
     THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE BEEN FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH
     OPINION IS SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS
     NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACTS.

                          V. No Admission of Liability

     The payment to Plaintiffs and the assignment of the warrants to Plaintiffs
and their counsel are being made to resolve disputed claims. Defendants
specifically deny any wrongdoing toward Plaintiffs, and specifically deny that
they have any liability to Plaintiffs as a result of the allegations made in
Plaintiffs' several Petitions filed in the Litigation. Plaintiffs Whitehead and
Butler specifically deny any wrongdoing toward Seven Seas and specifically deny

         3.2 DURATION, REMOVAL, ETC. The members of the Committee shall serve at

action of the Board of Directors.

         3.3 MEETINGS AND ACTIONS OF COMMITTEE. The Committee shall elect one of
its members as its Chairman and shall hold its meetings at such times and places
as it may determine. All decisions and determinations of the Committee shall be
made by the majority vote or decision of all of its members present at a
meeting; provided, however, that any decision or determination reduced to
writing and signed by all of the members of the Committee shall be as fully
effective as if it had been made at a meeting duly called and held. The
Committee may make any rules and regulations for the conduct of its business
that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan and with the bylaws
of the Company as it may deem advisable.

         3.4 COMMITTEE'S POWERS. Subject to the express provisions of this Plan,
the Committee shall have the authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a)
to adopt, amend, and rescind administrative and interpretive rules and
regulations relating to the Plan; (b) to determine the terms and provisions of
the respective Agreements (which need not be identical), including provisions

which the transferability of shares of Stock issued upon exercise of Options is

SECTION 5. GRANT OF OPTIONS AND CERTAIN TERMS OF THE AGREEMENTS.

         5.1 AWARD CRITERIA. Subject to the express provisions of this SECTION,
the Committee shall determine which Eligible Individuals shall be granted
Options under the Plan from time to time. In making grants, the Committee shall
take into consideration the level of responsibility within the organization and
the relative contribution the potential Optionee has made or may make to the
success of the Company or its Affiliates and such other considerations as the
Board of Directors may from time to time specify. The Committee shall also
determine the number of shares subject to each of such Options.

         5.2 GRANT. The date on which the Committee completes all action
constituting an offer of an Option to an individual, including specification of
the exercise price and the number of shares of Stock to be subject to the
Option, shall be the date on which the Option covered by an Agreement is
granted, even though certain terms of the Agreement may not be at such time
determined and even though the Agreement may not be executed until a later time.
Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Agreement, executed
by the Company and the Eligible Individual to whom the Option is granted,
incorporating such terms as the Committee shall deem necessary or desirable.
More than one Option may be granted to the same Eligible Individual and be
outstanding concurrently. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, an
Option shall be void if the individual is not an Eligible Individual.

         5.3 TRANSFERABILITY RESTRICTIONS. An Eligible Individual may not sell
or transfer Stock acquired through the exercise of a Prior Option unless:

                  (a) the sale or transfer is of the minimum number of shares of
         Stock necessary to (i) fund the exercise of a Prior Option, (ii) pay
         any taxes resulting from the exercise of the Prior Option, or (iii)
         alleviate a Hardship;

                  (b) the Eligible Individual owns shares of Stock sufficient to
         meet the minimum ownership level set forth in APPENDIX A;

                  (c) the six (6) month anniversary of the date on which the
         Option was exercised to acquire such shares of Stock has occurred, in
         which case he may sell or transfer fifty percent (50%) of such shares
         of Stock, less any shares of Stock already sold or transferred under
         the provisions of the preceding Sections (a) and (b) of this paragraph;
         or

                  (d) the two (2) year anniversary of the date on which the
         Option was exercised to acquire such shares of Stock has occurred.

The minimum ownership level set forth in APPENDIX A may be changed by the
Committee in its sole discretion at any time. The Fair Market Value of all Stock
holdings (whether vested or forfeitable) will be considered toward meeting the
required ownership level. In addition, an Optionee will be

CLUBCORP, INC. EXECUTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

                                       6
<PAGE>

treated as owning (i) the Fair Market Value of Stock equal to his account
balance in the ClubCorp Employee Stock Ownership Plan as of the Plan's most
recent allocation date; (ii) an amount equal to the difference between the
exercise price of any stock appreciation rights ("SARs") Optionee holds over the
Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to the SAR on such date; (iii) an amount
equal to the Fair Market Value of Stock subject to a phantom stock grant; and
(iv) an amount equal to the number of shares of restricted stock held by
Optionee.

         An Eligible Individual may not sell or transfer Stock acquired through
the exercise of a New Option unless:

                  (a) the sale or transfer is of the minimum number of shares of
         Stock necessary to alleviate a Hardship;

                  (b) the six (6) month anniversary of the date on which the
         Option was exercised to acquire such shares of Stock has occurred, in
         which case he may sell or transfer fifty percent (50%) of such shares
         of Stock, less any shares of Stock already sold or transferred under
         the provisions of the preceding section (a) of this paragraph; or

                  (c) the two (2) year anniversary of the date on which the
         Option was exercised to acquire such shares of Stock has occurred.

         Without limiting the generality of the preceding two paragraphs, in
addition, all shares of Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of Options under
this Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the shareholders
agreement that the Company shall forward to each Optionee upon the Optionee's
exercise of an Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or
the Optionee's Agreement, the Optionee shall have no right to have any shares
issued to him or her until the Optionee has signed the shareholders agreement
given to him by the Company. Each Agreement may contain or otherwise provide for
such other restrictions on the transferability of shares of the Stock acquired
pursuant to an Option as the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion,
shall deem proper or advisable. Such other restrictions on transferability may
include, but need not be limited to, options and rights of first refusal in
favor of the Company and shareholders of the Company.

SECTION 6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

         All Options granted under the Plan shall comply with, be deemed to
include, and shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

         6.1 NUMBER OF SHARES. Each Agreement shall state the number of shares
of Stock to which it relates.

CLUBCORP, INC. EXECUTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

                                       7
<PAGE>

         6.2 EXERCISE PRICE. Each Agreement shall state the exercise price per
share of Stock. The exercise price per share of Stock subject to an Option shall
be at least one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of the
Stock on the date of the grant of the Option, and shall be set by the Committee
at the time the Option is granted.

         6.3 MEDIUM AND TIME OF PAYMENT, METHOD OF EXERCISE, AND WITHHOLDING
TAXES. The exercise price of an Option shall be payable upon the exercise of the
Option:

                  (a) in cash,

                  (b) by certified or cashier's check payable to the order of
         the Company,

                  (c) with the consent of the Committee, with shares of Stock
         owned by Optionee, provided, however, that any shares of Stock acquired
         through the exercise of an Option must have been owned by the Optionee
         for a period of at least six (6) months, or

                  (d) with the consent of the Committee, by a combination of
         cash and such shares.

Exercise of an Option shall not be effective until the Committee has received
written notice of exercise and full payment of the exercise price. Such notice
must specify the number of whole shares to be purchased and be accompanied by
payment in full of the aggregate exercise price of the number of shares
purchased. The Company shall not in any case be required to sell, issue, or
deliver a fractional share of Stock with respect to any Option.

         The Committee shall require an Optionee to pay to the Company at the
time of exercise of an Option (or portion of an Option) the amount that the
Company deems necessary to satisfy its minimum obligation (based on the minimum
applicable withholding rate) to withhold Federal, state or local income or other
taxes incurred by reason of the exercise. The Committee may, in its discretion,
permit an Optionee to satisfy the withholding requirement of the preceding
sentence by payment of cash or property to the Company or withhold full shares
of Stock having a Fair Market Value as close as possible to, but without
exceeding, the amount required to be withheld by the Company to meet such
withholding obligation. If the exercise of an Option does not give rise to an
obligation to withhold Federal income or other taxes on the date of exercise,
the Company may, in its discretion, require an Optionee to place shares of Stock
sufficient to meet such withholding obligations in escrow for the benefit of the
Company until such withholding is required. At such later time, the Company, in
its discretion, may require an Optionee to pay to the Company the amount that
the Company deems necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation. Upon receipt
of such payment by the Company, such shares of Stock shall be released from
escrow to the Optionee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if upon the occurrence of
an event giving rise to a tax withholding obligation on the part of the Company,
the Stock is registered under Section 12 of the Act and the Optionee is a
director or officer of the Company within the meaning of Section 16 of the Act,
then such tax withholding shall be automatically effected by the Company
withholding full shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value as close as possible
to, but without exceeding, the amount required

                                       8
<PAGE>

to be withheld by the Company (based on the minimum applicable withholding
rate), and the Optionee will pay any remaining balance of such amount in cash.

         6.4 TERM OF OPTION. The provisions of this SECTION shall apply to the
extent an Optionee's Agreement does not expressly provide otherwise. If an
Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Individual due to termination of employment
for Cause, the Option shall terminate immediately upon the Optionee's
termination of employment. If an Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Individual by
reason of a voluntary termination of employment, (i) in the case of an Option
granted prior to January 1, 2000, the Option will terminate immediately upon the
Optionee's voluntary termination of employment; and (ii) in the case of an
Option granted on or after January 1, 2000, the Optionee shall have the right
for thirty (30) days following the date of his voluntary termination of
employment to exercise such Option to the extent such Option is exercisable on
the date of his voluntary termination of employment. If an Optionee ceases to be
an Eligible Individual by reason of (a) Disability, (b) normal retirement on or
after age sixty-five (65), or (c) involuntary termination of employment for a
reason other than for Cause, the Optionee shall have the right for one hundred
twenty (120) days after the date of his involuntary termination, normal
retirement or Disability to exercise an Option to the extent such Option is
exercisable on the date of his involuntary termination, Disability, or normal
retirement. If an Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Individual by reason of
death, Optionee's designated beneficiary shall have the right for twelve months
after the date of death to exercise the Option, to the extent such Option is
exercisable on the date of death. At the end of such twelve month or one hundred
twenty (120) day period, as applicable the Option shall terminate and cease to
be exercisable. Each Optionee shall have the right to designate a beneficiary on
the form provided by the Committee. If no beneficiary is designated, Optionee's
estate shall have the rights of a beneficiary. Except as provided above, all
Options shall terminate and cease to be exercisable on termination of Optionee's
employment with the Company or an Affiliate. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Plan, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of fifteen
(15) years from the date it is granted (the "maximum term").

         6.5 TIME OF EXERCISE AND TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. In addition to
such other terms and conditions as may be included in a particular Agreement
granting an Option, an Option shall be exercisable during an Optionee's lifetime
only by the Optionee or by the Optionee's guardian or legal representative. An
Option shall not be transferrable other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.

         The Committee shall have the authority to prescribe in any Agreement
that the Option evidenced by the Agreement may be exercised in full or in part
as to any number of shares subject to the Option at any time or from time to
time during the term of the Option, or in such installments at such times during
said term as the Committee may prescribe. All Options shall become fully vested
and exercisable on the earliest to occur of the following:

                           (i) the date on which the Optionee dies,

                           (ii) the date the Optionee becomes Disabled,

CLUBCORP, INC. EXECUTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

                                       9
<PAGE>

                           (iii) the date the Optionee both (i) attains age
                  sixty-five (65) and (ii) completes 10 or more years of
                  employment with the Company, or one of its Affiliates,

                           (iv) the end of ten (10) years from the date the
                  Option is granted,

                           (v) In the event that an Optionee ceases to be an
                  Eligible Individual due to a Vesting Acceleration Termination,
                  such Optionee's Options shall become fully vested and
                  immediately exercisable as of the day before the later to
                  occur of (a) the Vesting Acceleration Termination or (b) the
                  Change in Control Event related to the Vesting Acceleration
                  Termination.

         Except as otherwise provided in any Agreement, the vesting of an Option
shall be accelerated to annual vesting at a rate of ten percent (10%) per year
for each year that the Optionee remains employed in a position that has been
designated as a key executive position by the Committee and the Optionee meets
the performance requirements described below. Vesting is credited January 1st of
each year, beginning the January 1st following the date the Option is granted.

                  (a) If Optionee ceases to be employed in a position that has
         been designated by the Committee as a key executive position, no
         further accelerated vesting shall occur, and the Company shall have the
         right at any time thereafter, in its sole discretion, to cancel the
         Option by paying Optionee a cash amount that is at least equal to the
         difference between the Option's exercise price and the then Fair Market
         Value of the Stock times the number of shares covered by the
         unexercised vested portion of such Optionee's Option.

                  (b) Optionees will only be credited with a ten percent (10%)
         increment of accelerated vesting if they achieve the minimum annual
         performance rating set by the Committee ("AMP"), which shall initially
         be three (3) or qualification for that year's minimum payout on the
         applicable cash bonus plan. In the event an Optionee does not meet his
         AMP in a particular year, ten percent (10%) accelerated vesting will
         still occur if the average of his AMP for that particular year,
         combined with his AMP for the next year, equals or exceeds the required
         AMP. If such two year average does not equal or exceed the required
         AMP, then an Optionee shall lose the ability to receive ten percent
         (10%) incremental vesting for that particular year. The right to
         exercise shall be cumulative, so that if the full number of shares of
         Stock purchasable in any year are not purchased in such year, they may
         be purchased at any time prior to the termination of the Option.

         Within a reasonable time (or such time as may be permitted by law)
after the Company receives written notice that the Optionee has elected to
exercise all or a portion of an Option, such notice to be accompanied by payment
in full of the aggregate Option exercise price of the number of shares of Stock
purchased, the Company shall issue and deliver a certificate representing the
shares acquired in consequence of the exercise and any other amounts payable in
consequence of such exercise. The number of the shares of Stock issuable upon
exercise of an Option under this

CLUBCORP, INC. EXECUTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

                                       10
<PAGE>

Plan shall not be increased due to the passage of time, except as may be
provided in an Agreement; provided, however, the number of such shares of Stock
which are issuable may increase due to the occurrence of certain events which
are fully described in SECTION 6.6.

         Nothing in the Plan or in any Option granted under the Plan shall
require the Company to issue any shares upon exercise of any Option if such
issuance would, in the reasonable judgment of the Committee based upon the
advice of counsel for the Company, constitute a violation of the Securities Act,
as amended or any other applicable statute or regulation, as then in effect. At
the time of any exercise of an Option, the Company may, as a condition precedent
to the exercise of such Option, require from the Optionee (or in the event of
his death, his legal representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees) such
written representations, if any, concerning his intentions with regard to the
retention or disposition of the shares being acquired by exercise of such Option
and such written covenants and agreements, if any, as to the manner of disposal
of such shares as, in the reasonable judgment of the Committee based upon the
advice of counsel to the Company, may be necessary to ensure that any
disposition by such Optionee (or in the event of his death, his legal
representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees), will not involve a violation
of the Securities Act or any other applicable state or federal statute or
regulation, as then in effect.

         6.6 ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, MERGER, ETC.
Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, in the event of
any change in the number of outstanding shares of Stock that is (a) effected
without receipt of consideration by the Company by reason of a stock dividend,
split or combination or pursuant to an exchange of shares, merger or other
recapitalization in which the Company is the surviving corporation, or (b) by
reason of a spin-off of a part of the Company into a separate entity, or
assumptions and conversions of outstanding grants due to an acquisition by the
Company of a separate entity; the aggregate number and class of the reserved
shares, the number and class of shares subject to each outstanding Option and
the exercise price of each outstanding Option shall be automatically adjusted to
accurately and equitably reflect the effect of such change. In the event of a
dispute concerning such adjustment, the Committee has full discretion to
determine the resolution of the dispute. Such determination shall be final,
binding and conclusive. The number of reserved shares or the number of shares
subject to any outstanding Option shall be automatically reduced to the extent
necessary to eliminate any fractional shares.

         The following provisions of this SECTION shall apply unless an
Optionee's Agreement provides otherwise. In the event of:

                  (a) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company,

                  (b) a merger or consolidation (other than a merger effecting a
         re-incorporation of the Company in another state or any other merger or
         a consolidation in which the shareholders of the surviving corporation
         and their proportionate interests therein immediately after the merger
         or consolidation are substantially identical to the shareholders of the
         Company and their proportionate interests therein immediately prior to
         the merger or

         consolidation) in which the Company is not the surviving corporation
         (or survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation in a
         transaction in which the shareholders of the parent of the Company and
         their proportionate interests therein immediately after the transaction
         are not substantially identical to the shareholders of the Company and
         their proportionate interests therein immediately prior to the
         transaction; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may at any
         time prior to such a merger or consolidation provide by resolution that
         the foregoing provisions of this parenthetical shall not apply if a
         majority of the board of directors of such parent immediately after the
         transaction consists of individuals who constituted a majority of the
         Board of Directors immediately prior to the transaction), or

                  (c) a transaction in which any person (other than a
         shareholder of the Company on the date of the Optionee's Agreement)
         becomes the owner of fifty percent (50%) or more of the total combined
         voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (provided, however,
         that the Board of Directors may at any time prior to such transaction
         provide by resolution that this Subparagraph shall not apply if such
         acquiring person is a corporation and a majority of the board of
         directors of the acquiring corporation immediately after the
         transaction consists of individuals who constituted a majority of the
         Board of Directors immediately prior to the acquisition of such fifty
         percent (50%) or more total combined voting power);

the Board of Directors shall, as of the effective time of such transaction,
change the number and kind of shares of stock (including substitution of shares
of another corporation) and exercise price in the manner it deems appropriate.

         6.7 RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. An Optionee shall have no right as a
shareholder with respect to any shares covered by his Option until a certificate
representing such shares is issued to him. No adjustment shall be made for
dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash or other property) or
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date
such certificate is issued, except as provided in SECTION 6.6.

         6.8 MODIFICATION, EXTENSION AND RENEWAL OF OPTIONS. Subject to the
terms and conditions of, and within the limitations of, the Plan, the Committee
may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options granted under the Plan or accept
the surrender of Options outstanding under the Plan (to the extent not
previously exercised) and authorize the granting of substitute Options. The
Committee may not, however, without the consent of the Optionee, modify any
outstanding Options so as to specify a higher or lower exercise price or number
of shares. In addition, no modification of an Option granted under the Plan
shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights or
obligations under any Option previously granted under the Plan to such Optionee
under the Plan.

                                       12

         6.9 FURNISH INFORMATION. Each Optionee shall furnish to the Company all
information requested by the Company to enable it to comply with any reporting
or other requirement imposed upon the Company by or under any applicable statute
or regulation.

         6.10 OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE: TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. The granting of
an Option under the Plan shall impose no obligation upon the Optionee to
exercise it or any part of it. In the event of an Optionee's termination of
employment with the Company or an Affiliate, the unexercised portion of an
Option granted under the Plan shall terminate in accordance with SECTION 6.4.

         6.11 AGREEMENT PROVISIONS AND EFFECT. The Agreements authorized under
the Plan shall contain such provisions in addition to those required by the Plan
(including, without limitation, restrictions or the removal of restrictions upon
the exercise of the Option and the retention or transfer of shares thereby
acquired) as the Committee shall deem advisable. Options granted under the Plan
shall not be exercisable until the Agreement and the Optionee's employment
agreement have been fully executed.

         6.12 VIOLATION OF EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. In the event an Optionee is
determined to have violated the terms of his or her employment agreement by a
court of competent jurisdiction or pursuant to arbitration, Options awarded
under this Plan, including vested Options, will be forfeited as of the date of
the violation. In addition, any Stock acquired through the exercise of an Option
must be returned to the Company and the Company shall refund to Optionee the
exercise price of such forfeited Stock. If Optionee no longer owns the Stock,
Optionee will owe the Company an amount equal to any gain or profit over the
exercise price that the Optionee received on the sale of such Stock and the
Company has the right to offset this amount from any payments it owes Optionee.

         6.13 GOLDEN PARACHUTE LIMITATION. In the event that Section 280G
applies to any Option and the aggregate present value of the benefits to an
Optionee under the Plan, and any other plan program, or arrangement maintained
by the Company constitutes an "excess parachute payment" (within the meaning of
Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code) and the excise tax on such payment would cause
the net parachute payments (after taking into account federal, state and local
income and excise taxes) to which the Optionee otherwise would be entitled to be
less than what the Optionee would have netted (after taking into account
federal, state and local income taxes) had the present value of his total
parachute payments equaled $1.00 less than three times his "base amount" (within
the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(3)(A)) the Optionee's total "parachute
payments" (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A)) shall be reduced (by the
minimum possible amount) so that their aggregate present value equals $1.00 less
than three times such base amount. For purposes of this calculation, it shall be
assumed that the Optionee's tax rate will be the maximum marginal federal, state
and local income tax rate on earned income with such maximum federal rate to be
computed with regard to Code Section 1(g), if applicable. In the event that the
Optionee and the Company are unable to agree as to the amount of the reduction
described above, if any, the Company shall select a law firm or accounting firm
from among those regularly consulted by the Company regarding

CLUBCORP, INC. EXECUTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

                                       13
<PAGE>

federal income tax or employee benefit matters and such law firm or accounting
firm shall determine the amount of such reduction and such determination shall
be final and binding upon the Optionee and the Company.

SECTION 7. REMEDIES AND SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.

         7.1 REMEDIES. The Company shall be entitled to recover from an Optionee
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the enforcement of the
terms and provisions of the Plan and any Agreement, whether by an action to
enforce specific performance, or an action for damages for its breach or
otherwise.

         7.2 SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The Company shall be entitled to enforce the
terms and provisions of SECTION 7.1, including the remedy of specific
performance, in Dallas County, Texas.

SECTION 8. DURATION OF PLAN.

         No Options may be granted under the Plan more than ten years after the
date the Plan is adopted.

SECTION 9. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN.

         The Board of Directors may at any time terminate or from time to time
amend or suspend the Plan; provided, however, that in the event that the Stock
is registered under Section 12 of the Act, no such amendment shall, without
approval of the shareholders of the Company, except as provided in SECTION 6,
(a) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan;
(b) materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the
Plan; or (c) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for
participation in the Plan. No Option may be granted during any suspension of the
Plan or after the Plan has been terminated, and no amendment, suspension or
termination shall, without an Optionee's consent, alter or impair, other than as
provided in the Plan and the Optionee's Agreement, any of the rights or
obligations under any Option previously granted to such Optionee under the Plan.

SECTION 10. GENERAL.

         10.1 APPLICATION OF FUNDS. The proceeds received by the Company from
the sale of shares pursuant to Options shall be used for general corporate
purposes.

                                       14
<PAGE>

         10.2 RIGHT OF THE COMPANY AND AFFILIATES TO TERMINATE EMPLOYMENT.
Nothing contained in the Plan, or in any Agreement, shall confer upon any
Optionee the right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate, or
interfere in any way with the rights of the Company or any Affiliate to
terminate his employment any time.

         10.3 LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY. Neither the Company, any of its
Affiliates, its directors, officers or employees nor any member of the Committee
shall be liable for any act, omission, or determination taken or made in good
faith with respect to the Plan or any Option granted under it, and members of
the Board of Directors and the Committee shall be entitled to indemnification
and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage, or
expense (including attorneys' fees, the costs of settling any suit (provided
such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the
Company) and amounts paid in satisfaction of a judgment, except a judgment based
on a finding of bad faith) arising from such claim, loss, etc. to the full
extent permitted by law and under any directors' and officers' liability or
similar insurance coverage that may from time to time be in effect.

         10.4 INFORMATION CONFIDENTIAL. As partial consideration for the
granting of each Option under the Plan, the Agreement may, in the Committee's
sole and absolute discretion, provide that the Optionee shall agree with the
Company that he will keep confidential all information and knowledge that he has
relating to the manner and amount of his participation in the Plan; provided,
however, that such information may be disclosed as required by law and may be
given in confidence to the Optionee's spouse, tax and financial advisors, or to
a financial institution to the extent that such information is necessary to
secure a loan. In the event any breach of this promise comes to the attention of
the Committee, it shall take into consideration such breach, in determining
whether to recommend the grant of any future Option to such Optionee, as a
factor militating against the advisability of granting any such future Option to
such individual.

         10.5 OTHER BENEFITS. Participation in the Plan shall not preclude the
Optionee from eligibility in any other stock option plan of the Company or any
Affiliate or any old age benefit, insurance, pension, profit sharing,
retirement, bonus, or other extra compensation plans which the Company or any
Affiliate has adopted, or may, at any time, adopt for the benefit of its
employees.

         10.6 EXECUTION OF RECEIPTS AND RELEASES. Any payment of cash or any
issuance or transfer of shares of Stock to the Optionee, or to his legal
representative, heir, legatee, or distributee, in accordance with the provisions
of the Plan, shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims
of such persons under the Plan. The Committee may require any Optionee, legal
representative, heir, legatee, or distributee, as a condition precedent to such
payment, to execute a release and receipt for such payment in such form as it
shall determine.

         10.7 NO GUARANTEE OF INTERESTS. Neither the Committee nor the Company
guarantees the Stock from loss or depreciation.

                                       15
<PAGE>

         10.8 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. All expenses incident to the administration,
termination, or protection of the Plan, including, but not limited to, legal and
accounting fees, shall be paid by the Company or its Affiliates; provided,
however, the Company or an Affiliate may recover any and all damages, fees,
expenses and costs arising out of any actions taken by the Company or an
Affiliate to enforce its rights under the Plan.

         10.9 COMPANY RECORDS. Records of the Company or its Affiliates
regarding the Optionee's period of employment, termination of employment and the
reason for such termination, leaves of absence, re-employment, and other matters
shall be conclusive for all purposes under the Plan, unless determined by the
Committee to be incorrect.

         10.10 INFORMATION. The Company and its Affiliates shall, upon request
or as may be specifically required under the Plan, furnish or cause to be
furnished all of the information or documentation that is necessary or required
by the Committee to perform its duties and functions under the Plan.

         10.11 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Plan is held to be illegal
or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the
remaining provisions of the Plan, but such provision shall be fully severable,
and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid
provision had never been included in the Plan.

         10.12 NOTICES. Whenever any notice is required or permitted under the
Plan, such notice must be in writing and personally delivered, telecopied (if
confirmed), or sent by mail or by a nationally recognized courier service. Any
notice required or permitted to be delivered under this Agreement shall be
deemed to be delivered on the date on which it is personally delivered, or, if
mailed, whether actually received or not, on the third business day after it is
deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid,
addressed to the person who is to receive it at the address which such person
has previously specified by written notice delivered in accordance with this
SECTION or, if by courier, twenty-four (24) hours after it is sent, addressed as
described in this SECTION. The Company or an Optionee may change, at any time
and from time to time, by written notice to the other, the address which it or
he had previously specified for receiving notices. Until changed in accordance
with the Plan, the Company and each Optionee shall specify as its and his
address for receiving notices the address set forth in the Agreement pertaining
to the shares to which such notice relates.

         10.13 WAIVER OF NOTICE. Any person entitled to notice under the Plan
may waive such notice.

         10.14 SUCCESSORS. The Plan shall be binding upon the Optionee, his
legal representatives, heirs, legatees and distributees, upon the Company, its
successors, and assigns, and upon the Committee, and its successors.

convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construction of
the Plan's provisions.

         10.16 GOVERNING LAW. All questions arising with respect to the
provisions of the Plan shall be determined by application of the laws of the
State of Texas except to the extent Texas law is preempted by federal law.
Questions arising with respect to the provisions of an Agreement that are
matters of contract law shall be governed by the laws of the state specified in
the Agreement, except to the extent preempted by federal law and except to the
extent that Texas corporate law conflicts with the contract law of such state,
in which event Texas corporate law shall govern. The obligation of the Company
to sell and deliver Stock under the Plan is subject to applicable laws and to
the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the
authorization, issuance, sale, or delivery of such Stock.

         10.17 WORD USAGE. Words used in the masculine shall apply to the
feminine where applicable, and wherever the context of this Plan dictates, the
