                          HILLENBRAND INDUSTRIES, INC.
                                 (THE "COMPANY")

                         CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STANDARDS
                                       FOR
                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

             (As approved by Board of Directors on December 2, 2004)

The following corporate governance standards established by the Board of
Directors provide a structure within which directors and management can
effectively pursue the Company's objectives for the benefit of its shareholders
and other constituencies. The Company's business is managed under the direction
of the Board, but the conduct of the Company's business has been delegated by
the Board to the Company's senior management team.

      1.    The Board will consider all major decisions of the Company. However,
the Board has established the following standing Committees so that certain
important areas can be addressed in more depth than may be possible in a full
Board meeting: Audit Committee, Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee,
Compensation and Management Development Committee and Finance Committee. Each
standing Committee has a specific charter that has been approved by the Board.

      2.    By the Company's 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and at all
times thereafter, at least a majority of the directors of the Company shall be
independent, as determined pursuant to numbered paragraph 3 below.

      3.    The Board, after receiving a recommendation from the
Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, must determine annually, based on a
consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, whether each director is
independent. A director does not qualify as independent unless the Board has
affirmatively determined that the director has no material relationship with the
Company(1), (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an
organization that has a relationship with the Company). In assessing the
materiality of a director's relationship with the Company and each director's
independence, the Board shall consider the issue of materiality not only from
the standpoint of the director but also from that of the persons or
organizations with which the director has an affiliation and shall consider
whether the relationship represents a potential conflict of interest or
otherwise interferes with the director's exercise of his or her independent
judgment from management and the Company. Material relationships can include,
among others, commercial, industrial, banking, consulting,

----------
(1) For purposes of this numbered paragraph 3, all references to the Company
include the Company's subsidiaries.

<PAGE>

legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships. In assessing a
director's independence, the Board shall also consider the director's ownership,
or affiliation with the owner, of less than a controlling amount of voting
securities of the Company. The basis for the Board's determination that a
relationship is not material shall be disclosed in the Company's annual proxy
statement.

      Further, the Board cannot conclude that a director is independent as
follows:

      -     A director who is or was an employee, or whose immediate family
            member(2) is or was an executive officer, of the Company may not be
            considered independent until three years after the end of such
            employment relationship. Employment as an interim Chairman or CEO
            shall not disqualify a director from being considered independent
            following that employment.

      -     A director who receives or received, or whose immediate family
            member receives or received, more than $100,000 per year in direct
            compensation from the Company, other than director and committee
            fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior
            service (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on
            continued service), may not be considered independent until three
            years after he or she ceased to receive more than $100,000 per year
            in such compensation. Compensation received by a director for former
            service as an interim Chairman or CEO need not be considered in
            determining independence under this test.

      -     A director who is or was affiliated with or employed by, or whose
            immediate family member is or was affiliated with or employed in a
            professional capacity by, a present or former internal or external
            auditor of the Company may not be considered independent until three
            years after the end of the affiliation or the employment or auditing
            relationship.

      -     A director who is or was employed, or whose immediate family member
            is or was employed, as an executive officer of another company where
            any of the Company's present executives serves or served on that
            company's compensation committee may not be considered independent
            until three years after the end of such service or the employment
            relationship.

      -     A director who is an executive officer or an employee, or whose
            immediate family member is an executive officer, of a company that
            makes or made payments to, or receives or received payments from,
            the Company for property or services in an amount which, in any
            single fiscal year, exceeds or exceeded the greater of $1 million,
            or 2% of such other company's consolidated gross revenues,

----------
(2) As used in these Corporate Governance Standards, "immediate family member"
includes a person's spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers and
fathers-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law, and
anyone (other than domestic employees) who shares such person's home. When
applying the three-year lookback provisions described in this numbered paragraph
3, the Board need not consider individuals who are no longer immediate family
members of the director as a result of legal separation or divorce, or those who
have died or become incapacitated.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

            may not be considered independent until three years after falling
            below such threshold. The look-back provision for this test applies
            solely to the financial relationship between the Company and the
            director or immediate family member's current employer; the Board
            need not consider former employment of the director or immediate
            family member. Charitable organizations shall not be considered
            "companies" for purposes of this provision, but the Company shall
            disclose in its annual proxy statement any charitable contributions
            made by the Company to any charitable organization in which a
            director serves as an executive officer if, within the preceding
            three years, contributions in any single fiscal year exceeded the
            greater of $1 million, or 2% of such charitable organization's
            consolidated gross revenues. In addition, the Board must consider
            the materiality of any such charitable relationship in making its
            determination of independence.

      -     A director who owns, or is affiliated with the owner, of a
            controlling amount of voting stock of the Company may not be
            considered independent.

The disqualification of one director from being independent pursuant to these
provisions shall not automatically disqualify any other director on the Board
who is an immediate family member of such disqualified director but the
disqualification of an immediate family member shall be one of the facts and
circumstances considered by the Board in assessing such other director's
independence.

      Moreover, the Board discourages the following types of transactions with
or on behalf of non-officer directors:

            -     the making of substantial charitable contributions to any
                  organization in which a director is affiliated;

            -     the entering into of consulting contracts with (or providing
                  other indirect forms of compensation to) directors; or

            -     the entering into of other compensatory arrangements with
                  directors that may raise questions about their independence.

      4.    The Audit Committee, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee
and the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board will
consist entirely of independent directors.

      5.    Each member of the Board will act in accordance with the criteria
for selection and discharge the responsibilities set forth in the Position
Specifications(3) for a director of the Company.

      6.    In addition to evaluations to be performed by the Compensation and
Management Development Committee, the Board will evaluate the performance of the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and certain other senior management positions
at least annually in meetings of independent directors that are not attended by
the Chief Executive

Industries, Inc.

Officer. As a general rule, the Chief Executive Officer should not also hold the
position of Chairman of the Board. However, if, with the Board's approval, the
Chief Executive Officer also holds the position of Chairman of the Board, the
Board will elect a non-executive Vice Chairman (or a non-executive director who
is the Lead Director). The Vice Chairman or Lead Director will preside at
meetings to evaluate the performance of the Chief Executive Officer.

      7.    Every year the Board will engage management in a discussion of the
Company's strategic direction and, based on that discussion, set the Company's
strategic direction and review and approve a three-year strategic framework and
a one-year business plan.

      8.    On an ongoing basis during each year, the Board will monitor the
Company's performance against its annual business plan and against the
performance of its peers. In this connection, the Board will assess the impact
of emerging political, regulatory and economic trends and developments on the
Company. The Board will hold periodic meetings devoted primarily to the review
of the Company's strategic plan and business plan and its performance against
them.

      9.    The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will annually assess
the Board's effectiveness as a whole as well as the effectiveness of the
individual directors and the Board's various Committees, including a review of
the mix of skills, core competencies and qualifications (including independence
under applicable standards) of members of the Board and its various committees,
which should reflect expertise in one or more of the following areas: accounting
and finance, healthcare, international business, mergers and acquisitions,
leadership, business and management, strategic planning, government relations,
investor relations, executive leadership development, and executive
compensation. In order to make these assessments, the Nominating/Corporate
Governance Committee shall solicit annually the opinions of each director
regarding the foregoing matters. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee
shall present its findings and recommendations to the Board of Directors for
appropriate corrective action by the Board. Ineffective directors shall be
replaced as promptly as practicable and inefficient Committees of the Board
shall be restructured or eliminated promptly.

      10.   Directors are expected to own shares of common stock of the Company.
The Board of Directors may from time to time adopt, revise or terminate director
stock ownership guidelines. Specifically, any non employee director who from and
after October 1, 2003 is awarded restricted shares of the Company's common stock
or restricted stock units (otherwise known as deferred stock awards) with
respect to shares of the Company's common stock shall be required to hold any
vested shares of the Company's common stock under such awards until at least the
six month anniversary from the date such director ceases to be a director of the
Company.

Directors are encouraged to limit the number of directorships that they hold in
public companies so that they can devote sufficient time to the discharge of
their responsibilities to each public company for which they serve as a
director, including the Company. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee
shall make recommendations to the Board regarding the membership of the several
Board committees and the chairs of such committees. The members of the several
Board committees shall be elected by the Board, after consideration of the
recommendation of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, at the annual
meeting of the Board to serve

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

until the next annual meeting of the Board or until their successors shall be
duly elected and qualified. Unless the Chair of any Committee is elected by the
Board, after consideration of the recommendation of the Nominating/Corporate
Governance Committee, the members of the Committee may designate a Chair by
majority vote of the Committee membership. The several Committee Chairs will
periodically report the Committee's findings and conclusions to the Board. Upon
termination of or significant change in a member of the Board's principal
employment, he or she shall notify the Chairman of the Board and tender his or
her resignation from the Board, which may be rejected by the Board if the change
in status is satisfactory and the Board believes that the director will continue
to be a valuable contributor to the Board.

      11.   Succession planning and management development will be reviewed
annually by the Chief Executive Officer with the Board.

      12.   All executive officers are expected to own shares of the Company's
common stock, in addition to options to purchase common stock. Specifically, all
executives who are awarded restricted shares of the Company's common stock or
restricted stock units (otherwise known as deferred stock awards under the
Company's Stock Incentive Plan) with respect to shares of the Company's common
stock from and after December 2003 shall be required to hold shares of the
Company's common stock or equivalents described below at a level equal to at
least 400% of their initial annual restricted stock or restricted stock unit
grant ("Required Ownership Level"). Until, but not after, the Required Ownership
Level is achieved, if annual grants subsequent to the first annual grant are
less than the initial annual grant, then the Required Ownership Level will be
adjusted downward based on the annual average grant amount. Shares owned
outright, restricted stock units (whether vested or unvested) and restricted
shares (whether vested or unvested) will count as share equivalents towards the
Required Ownership Level. The Required Ownership Level must be achieved within
five years from the date of the first annual restricted stock grant. Failure to
maintain the Required Ownership Level will result in suspension of future
restricted stock or restricted stock unit grants until the Required Ownership
Level is achieved.

      13.   Incentive compensation plans will link executive compensation
directly and objectively to measured financial and non-financial goals set in
advance by the Compensation and Management Development Committee.

      14.   Shareholders of the Company will be given an opportunity to vote on
the adoption and amendment of all equity-compensation plans. Brokers may not
vote a customer's shares on any equity compensation plan unless the broker has
received that customer's instructions to do so.

      15.   Subject to limited exceptions permitted by law, the Company will not
directly or indirectly grant loans to executive officers or directors of the
Company that are not available to outsiders.

      16.   Stock options will not be repriced, that is, the exercise price for
options will not be lowered even if the current fair market value of the
underlying shares is below their exercise price.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

      17.   Analyses and empirical data that are important to the directors'
understanding of the business to be conducted at a meeting of the Board or any
Committee will be distributed, to the extent practicable, in writing to all
members in advance of the meeting. Management will make every reasonable effort
to assure that this material is both concise and in sufficient detail to provide
a reasonable basis upon which directors may make an informed business decision.
In many cases, significant items requiring Board or Committee approval may be
reviewed in one or more meetings, with the intervening time being used for
clarification and discussion of relevant issues. Outside directors shall be
encouraged to provide input into the development of Board and Committee meeting
agenda.

      18.   Directors shall have complete access to the Company's management. It
is assumed that directors will exercise reasonable judgment to assure that
contact of this sort is not distracting to the business operations of the
Company and that any such contact, if in writing, will be copied to the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board. Furthermore, the Board
encourages the Chief Executive Officer to bring managers into Board meetings
from time to time who: (a) can provide additional insight into the items being
discussed because of personal involvement in these areas, and/or (b) represent
potential members of future senior management that the Chief Executive Officer
believes should be given exposure to the Board.

      19.   The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee shall assess, at least
annually, the adequacy and suitability of the compensation package for members
of the Company's Board of Directors in relation to competitive market and sound
corporate governance practices. The Chief Executive Officer or other members of
the senior management team or other persons appointed by the
Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee shall report to the
Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee once a year regarding the adequacy and
suitability of the Company's Board compensation package in relation to other
comparable U.S. companies. Changes in Board compensation, if any, should be
suggested by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee and approved only
after a full discussion among the members of the Board.

      20.   While the Board, with the recommendation of the Nominating/Corporate
Governance Committee, will review from time to time the compensatory
arrangements with the Company's non-officer, non-employee directors, the Board
believes that the form and amount of the Company's current compensatory
arrangements with its non-officer, non-employee directors summarized below are
both customary and appropriate:

   -  Directors shall receive an annual retainer of $25,000 for their service as
      directors, together with a $3,500 fee for each Board meeting attended. The
      Chairman of the Board of Director's annual retainer shall, however, be
      $150,000.

   -  For any Board meeting lasting longer than one day, each Director who
      attends will receive $1,000 for each additional day.

   -  Directors who attend a Board meeting or standing committee meeting by
      telephone will receive fifty percent (50%) of the usual meeting fee.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

   -  Each Director who is a member of the Nominating/Corporate Governance,
      Finance, Audit or Compensation and Management Development Committee
      receives a fee of $1,500 for each committee meeting attended.

   -  The Chairmen of the Audit, Compensation and Management Development,
      Nominating/Corporate Governance and Finance Committees shall receive an
      additional $10,000, $8,000, $7,000 and $5,000 annual retainer,
      respectively.

   -  Directors who attend meetings of committees of which they are not members
      shall receive no fees for their attendance.

   -  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any meeting of an ad hoc committee or
      team of the Board that requires attendance in person or by telephone, the
      Directors who attend shall each receive a meeting fee of $1,500, except
      when such meetings occur before, during or after a meeting of the Board or
      a standing committee of the Board that also is attended by such Directors.

   -  Board and committee retainers shall be paid in quarterly installments and
      the meeting fees shall be paid following the meeting.

   -  Each Director shall be reimbursed for expenses incurred as a result of
      attendance at Board or committee meetings.

   -  Each Director shall be awarded on the first trading day following the
      close of each annual meeting of the Company's shareholders 1,800
      restricted stock units (otherwise known as deferred stock awards) under
      the Corporation's Stock Incentive Plan in lieu of the stock option grant
      contemplated by Section 12 of the Corporation's Stock Incentive Plan.
      Vesting for such restricted stock units will occur on the later to occur
      of one year and one day from the date of the grant or the six month
      anniversary of the date that a the applicable Director ceases to be a
      member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. In the case of the
      Chairman of the Board of Directors, his or her annual grant of restricted
      stock units shall be 3,500.

      21.   The Board is responsible for the enactment and approval of changes
in the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics ("Policy Statement"). The
Board's Audit Committee has responsibility for the oversight of the
implementation and administration of the Policy Statement, the review and
assessment at least annually of the effectiveness of the Policy Statement and
the recommendation to the Board of suggested changes in the Policy Statement.

      22.   The Board will consider from time to time its optimum size and will
increase or decrease from time to time, as appropriate, the number of its
members.

      23.   The Board is committed to the continuing orientation and training of
new and incumbent directors at the Board and Committee levels.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

      24.   The non-management directors regularly shall conduct executive
sessions without participation by any employees of the Company and shall
designate and publicly disclose the name of a director who will preside at
regularly scheduled meetings of the non-management directors.

      25.   While the information needed for the Board's decision making
generally will be found within the Company, from time to time the Board may seek
legal or other expert advise from sources independent of management. Generally
such advice will be sought with the knowledge and concurrence of the Chief
Executive Officer. Accordingly, the Board shall have the sole authority to
engage, compensate, oversee and terminate external independent consultants,
counsel and other advisors as it determines necessary to carry out its
responsibilities. The Company shall provide appropriate funding (as determined
by each committee) for payment of compensation to advisors engaged by the Board.

      26.   Likewise, each committee of the Board shall have the sole authority
to engage, compensate, oversee and terminate external independent consultants,
counsel and other advisors as it determines necessary to carry out its duties,
including the resolution of any disagreements between management and the auditor
regarding financial reporting. The Company shall provide appropriate funding (as
determined by each committee) for payment of compensation to advisors engaged by
the committees.

      27.   These Corporate Governance Standards have been developed and
approved by the Board. The Board will review at least annually the practices
incorporated into these Corporate Governance Standards by comparing them to the
standards identified by leading governance authorities and the evolving needs of
the Company and determine whether these Corporate Governance Standards should be
updated. These Corporate Governance Standards shall be published in the
Company's Proxy Statement or Annual Report to shareholders.

            as a result of a material, uncured breach by Tall Pines.

            (d)   No Base Development Fees or other Development Fees will be
            payable with respect to the Wisconsin Dells Lodge or the Sheboygan
            Development.

            (e)   The Base Development Fees for each Development open for
            business prior to the Effective Date will be payable through the
            date specified for that Development on EXHIBIT B, except in the case
            of termination by Great Lakes under Section 7.2 as a result of a
            material, uncured breach by Tall Pines

            (f)   In the case of any Development owned and operated by Great
            Lakes or one of its Affiliates or a Designee and open for business
            after the Effective Date, the Base Development Fees shall be payable
            during the Development Fee Payment Period applicable to such
            Development Development Fees shall be payable to Tall Pines
            notwithstanding any assignment, transfer, sale, merger or any
            corporate restructuring and shall be due and payable by Great Lakes
            to Tall Pines and shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing be due
            and payable notwithstanding any assumption of responsibility by a
            third party.

            (g)   If Great Lakes enters into an agreement with a Designee that
            gives the Designee the right to terminate payments to Great Lakes or
            one of its Affiliates prior to the tenth anniversary of the
            commencement of such payments, and the Designee exercises its right
            to terminate such payments, then Great Lakes may request in writing
            that Tall Pines consent to the termination of the obligations to
            make payments of Development Fees for such Development. Tall Pines
            hereby expressly consents to the termination of Great Lakes and its
            Designee's obligations to make payments of Development Fees for the
            Niagara Falls Development upon the expiration or earlier termination
            of a certain License Agreement dated January 30, 2004, between Great
            Lakes, as licensor, and Jim Pattison Entertainment Ltd., as
            licensee, provided that one-third of any termination fee or similar
            payment or payments received by Great Lakes in connection with such
            termination shall be paid to Tall Pines.

            (h)   The Base Development Fees for each, Development will be
            payable monthly, in arrears, within thirty (30) days after the end
            of each month.

      5.3   INCENTIVE DEVELOPMENT FEES. Incentive Development Fees will be
            payable with respect to the Sandusky Development, in accordance with
            EXHIBIT C.

      5.4   CURRENCY. All sums referred to in this Agreement will be payable in
            U.S. dollars. If payments are due on Revenues earned in any foreign
            country, Great Lakes will be responsible for converting the amounts
            into U.S. dollars, and Great Lakes will be responsible for all
            costs, if any, associated with such conversion.

      5.5   INFLATION ADJUSTMENTS. Whenever any provision of this Agreement
            requires that an amount be Adjusted for Inflation, such adjustment
            will be based on the Inflation Index. The amount of the adjustment
            will be determined by multiplying the amount to be adjusted by a
            fraction, the denominator of which is the Inflation Index for the
            month in which the Effective Date occurs and the numerator of which
            is the Inflation Index for the month immediately prior to the month
            for which the adjustment for inflation is to be made. If the
            Inflation Index is discontinued, then there will be substituted
            therefore a comparable index for use

                                       10

<PAGE>

            in calculating changes in the cost of living or purchasing power of
            consumers published by any other governmental agency, major bank,
            financial institution, or university or by another recognized
            financial publication, with such adjustments as are reasonably
            necessary to produce substantially the same results as would have
            been obtained under the unavailable index.

      5.6   INTEREST. If any payment required to be made under this Agreement is
            not paid when due, Great Lakes will pay to Tall Pines interest on
            the delinquent payment at the Default Rate until such payment is
            made, in addition to any other remedy available to Tall Pines.

      5.7   STATEMENTS. On or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the end of
            each calendar  quarter during the Term, regardless of
            whether any Revenues have been earned during the reporting period,
            Great Lakes will submit to Tall Pines a full and accurate statement
            showing the amount, by category, of Revenues for each of the
            Developments open for business during such quarter, including a
            break-out by Development, and such other information relevant to
            Development Fees as Tall Pines may reasonably require. All such
            quarterly statements will be certified as complete and accurate, to
            the best knowledge of Great Lakes' Chief Financial Officer.

      5.8   REPORTS. Annually, within one hundred twenty (120) days of the end
            of each Fiscal Year during the Term and within one hundred twenty
            (120) days after the end of the Fiscal Year immediately following
            the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Great Lakes will
            deliver to Tall Pines an annual statement covering the operation of
            the Developments for the period then ended, prepared in accordance
            with U. S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, consistently
            applied, and certified as accurate, to the best knowledge of Great
            Lakes' Chief Financial Officer.

      5.9   RECORDS. Great Lakes will keep accurate books of account and records
            in a form reasonably acceptable to Tall Pines covering transactions
            relating to each of its Developments. Tall Pines will have the right
            to examine or audit any or all such books of account and records and
            to make copies and extracts therefrom, all at Tall Pines' sole cost
            and expense. Great Lakes will provide Tall Pines with reasonable
            access to such books and records during normal business hours. Great
            Lakes will cause such books and records to be maintained for a
            period of at least two (2) years or such longer period as may be
            required by law, except that if a dispute arises between Great Lakes
            and Tall Pines prior to the expiration of any such two (2) year
            period relating to the content of such books and records or any
            payments for the time period reflected in such books and records,
            then Great Lakes will maintain such books and records until the
            dispute is resolved.

      5.10  DISCREPANCIES. If any audit conducted by or on behalf of Tall Pines
            concerning a Development owned and operated by Great Lakes discloses
            an underpayment to Tall Pines of any amount due and payable to Tall
            Pines under this Agreement, Tall Pines will give notice of the
            amount of such underpayment to Great Lakes,

                                       11

<PAGE>

            and Great Lakes will either (a) promptly pay the amount of the
            underpayment, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate
            computed from the date the payment was originally due and, if the
            amount of such underpayment is five percent (5%) or more, together
            with the reasonable costs of the audit which disclosed the
            underpayment; or (b) promptly dispute the amount of or existence of
            any underpayment and/or the reasonableness of the costs of such
            audit, and promptly (i) pay to Tall Pines any undisputed amount of
            the underpayment, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate
            computed from the date the payment was originally due, and (ii) pay
            into escrow any disputed portion of the amount Tall Pines alleges
            was underpaid, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate
            computed from the date the payment was originally due, until such
            dispute is resolved.

      5.11  OPENING DATE. Great Lakes will notify Tall Pines of the opening of a
            Development for business, within ten (10) days after the opening.

6.    GOVERNMENT APPROVALS.

      Great Lakes or its Designee will make or obtain, at its expense, all
      necessary or appropriate government filings, approvals, applications,
      and/or registrations with respect to construction and operation of the
      Developments and will promptly furnish Tall Pines with copies of such
      documentation upon written request. Each Development will be constructed,
      established, opened, operated maintained and marketed in compliance with
      all applicable laws and regulations.

7.    TERMINATION; REMEDIES.

      7.1   TALL PINES' RIGHTS TO TERMINATE. Tall Pines will have the right to
            immediately terminate this Agreement and/or to pursue all remedies
            available at law or in equity if:

            (a)   Great Lakes breaches its payment obligation under this
            Agreement, and such breach is not cured within sixty (60) days after
            receipt of written notice of the breach from Tall Pines; or

            (b)   Great Lakes breaches one of its material obligations under
            this Agreement (other than its payment obligation), and such breach
            is not cured within ninety (90) days after receipt by Great Lakes of
            written notice of the breach from Tall Pines (or, if the breach
            reasonably requires more than ninety (90) days to cure, if Great
            Lakes does not commence action to cure the breach within ninety (90)
            days after receipt of the written notice of the breach or does not
            thereafter promptly and continuously work to remedy and cure the
            breach).

      7.2   GREAT LAKES' RIGHTS TO TERMINATE. Great Lakes will have the right to
            immediately terminate this Agreement and/or to pursue all remedies
            available at law or in equity if Tall Pines breaches one of its
            material obligations under this Agreement, and such breach is not
            cured within ninety (90) days after receipt by

                                       12

<PAGE>

            Tall Pines of written notice of the breach from Great Lakes (or, if
            the breach reasonably requires more than ninety (90) days to cure,
            if Tall Pines does not commence action to cure the breach within
            ninety (90) days after receipt of the written notice of the breach
            or does not thereafter promptly and continuously works to remedy and
            cure the breach).

      7.3   SALE OF DEVELOPMENT. If Great Lakes (or one of its Affiliates
            including Designees) sells, transfers, assigns or otherwise disposes
            of a controlling interest in a Development (whether by sale of stock
            or other equity interests in an Affiliate, sale of assets, or
            merger) (the "Sale"), the acquirer of such controlling interest in
            the Development (the "Acquirer") must expressly assume in writing
            the obligations of Great Lakes to pay Development Fees with respect
            to that Development through the Development Fee Payment Period which
            is or would otherwise be payable for that Development in accordance
            with the terms of this Agreement and provided further, Great Lakes
            shall not be released from monetary liability under this Agreement
            and shall continue to be obligated to Tall Pines as if the Sale
            never took place unless Tall Pines releases, in writing, Great Lakes
            from that obligation. It is the intent of the Parties that any
            successor, purchaser or assignee to Great Lakes' interests hereunder
            be obligated to continue the payments of Development Fees to Tall
            Pines. Tall Pines shall receive the Development Fees and Consulting
            Fees notwithstanding a Sale, merger, transfer, assignment or any
            other transaction which would effectively transfer Great Lakes'
            rights in whole or in part to a third party or separate entity.

      7.4   "CLOSURE": In the event Great Lakes closes a Development, the
            Development shall no longer be considered a "Development" for
            purposes of this Agreement, and Great Lakes may, subject to the
            provisions of this Agreement, make such other use or disposition of
            the land and all improvements thereon as Great Lakes shall see fit;
            provided, however, that in the event that the Development is closed
            in accordance with the provisions of this section and the land
            formerly constituting a part of the Development is used for any
            other profit seeking purpose by Great Lakes (but not by any lender
            taking title by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any
            successor to such lender) within the period commencing on the date
            of closure and ending at the end of the Development Fee Payment
            Period, Great Lakes shall promptly pay to Tall Pines a termination
            fee in an amount equal to the present value of a cash flow stream
            commencing on the date of closure of such Development and ending at
            the end of the Development Fee Payment Period comprised of monthly
            payments equal in amount to the mean of the monthly Development fees
            for such Development paid during the final twelve(12) months of
            operation of the Development, discounted at an annual rate equal to
            two percentage points above the prime rate (as announced by
            Citibank, N.A. or its successor, on the date of closure of the
            Property).

      7.5   POST-EXPIRATION. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
            Agreement, Great Lakes will have complete discretion concerning the
            acquisition, development, design, operation, disposition and
            cessation of operation of each of its current Developments and any
            future Developments, anywhere in the world,

                                       13

<PAGE>

            without any restriction or payment obligations to Tall Pines;
            provided, however, that Great Lakes obligations (or the obligations
            of any third parties) to Tall Pines per this Agreement to pay
            Development Fees during the remaining Development Fee Period(s)
            applicable to such Development(s) open for business, prior to the
            expiration or termination of this Agreement shall continue.

8.    INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE.

      8.1   INDEMNIFICATION BY GREAT LAKES. Great Lakes shall defend, indemnify
            and hold harmless Tall Pines and its officers, directors, agents,

            costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) to the
            extent caused by the acts or omissions of, or failure to perform

            them.

      8.2   INDEMNIFICATION BY TALL PINES. Tall Pines shall defend, indemnify

            (including reasonable attorneys' fees) to the extent caused by the
            failure of Tall Pines to perform under this Agreement.

      8.3   INSURANCE. Great Lakes shall maintain during the Term, at its sole
            expense, one or more policies of insurance with insurers with a
            Best's Key Rating of A or better, covering comprehensive general
            liability, property damage, product liability, personal injury
            liability, host liquor liability and such other insurance as shall
            be required by applicable laws or regulations with minimum limits of
            coverage deemed appropriate by Great Lakes in the exercise of its
            reasonable business judgment. Great Lakes shall provide Tall Pines
            with Certificates of Insurance evidencing the same covering each of
            Great Lakes' Developments within thirty (30) days of the opening of
            such Development.

            construed as creating a relationship of principal and agent,
            partnership, or joint venture. Great Lakes will have no power or
            right to obligate or bind Tall Pines in any manner whatsoever, and
            Tall Pines will have no power or right to obligate or bind Great
            Lakes in any manner whatsoever. The Parties agree not to contend to
            the contrary or to attempt to enforce any contrary intentions in any
            court. In addition, no Party will represent to third parties that it
            is an agent, partner or joint venturer of the other.

      10.2  ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may not be assigned, transferred,
            licensed, mortgaged, or otherwise encumbered by either Party in any
            manner, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written

            terms that are provided to Tall Pines after written request; or (ii)

            provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to
            be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or

            unenforceability will not affect any other provision or portion of
            any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be
            reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such
            invalid illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any
            provision had never been contained in this Agreement. The "term
            including" means, "including, without limitation" whenever used in

            with its obligations under this Agreement, and any custom or
            practice of the Parties at variance with the terms of this
            Agreement, will not constitute a waiver by such party of its rights
            to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand
            such compliance. Any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement
            may be waived in writing at any time by the Party that is entitled
