Buyer in writing and then Seller shall be solely responsible for such
Uncredited AP. In no event shall Buyer be deemed to have assumed Uncredited

reimburse Buyer for such entire amount. Seller shall reimburse Buyer on or

funds) within five (5) business days. If Seller and Buyer are unable to agree
on a Final WC Calculation or the amounts to be prorated pursuant to this
Agreement after a ninety (90) day period following Closing, then either party
may submit the matter to a mutually agreed upon "Big Five" certified public
accounting firm ("CPA Firm") for determination, and the party electing to
submit such matter for determination shall provide written notice to the
other party setting forth such election, along with reasonable detail of the
matters of objection, no later than five (5) days after the expiration of the
ninety (90) day period referred to in Section 2.3(b). In the absence of such
notice the Final WC Calculation will be deemed final. Within thirty (30) days
of the date of notice requesting determination, the CPA Firm shall review the
information presented by Seller and Buyer regarding the Working Capital
Calculation matters on which Seller and Buyer disagree, and shall determine
the matter in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 2 as a
neutral arbitrator. The CPA Firm's determination shall be binding and
conclusive upon both parties and enforceable in any court of competent
jurisdiction. The responsibility of payment for the CPA firm's fees, charges
and other expenses will be either (i) if the CPA Firm's determination
identifies an amount owed to the party requesting such determination which is
greater than $100,000 in excess of the disputed portion of the WC Calculation
then Seller and Buyer each shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees, charges
and other expenses of the CPA Firm for making such determination, or (ii) if
the CPA Firm's determination identifies an amount owed to the requesting
party which is less than $100,000 in excess of the disputed portion of the WC
Calculation, then the party requesting the determination shall pay all of the
CPA Firm's fees. If the CPA Firm's determination discloses that either Seller
or Buyer owes any sum to the other party, the party which owes such sum shall
pay the full amount thereof within fifteen (15) business days after the CPA
Firm's determination.

                  (f) The provisions of this Section 2.3 shall survive the
Closing.

exceed $1,350,000; and

             (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
in no event shall Seller's aggregate liability for all such breaches of its
representations and warranties herein exceed $25,000,000. A violation of
Seller's representation in Section 6.1(dd) above is not subject to clauses
(a)-(c) above.

             (e) A violation of the representations and warranties contained
in the Assignment of Ground Lease, Consent to Assignment of Ground Lease, the
Sublease and/or the Tri-Party Agreement Regarding Ground Lease shall not be

         6.3 NOTICE OF SUBSEQUENT EVENTS OR DISCOVERY. Prior to Closing, Buyer
and Seller shall each give the other prompt written notice of its discovery of
any event or condition which has the effect of making any representations and
warranties contained in Section 6.1 materially inaccurate. In the event Seller
makes such disclosure to Buyer or if John Saer, Scott Dalecio, Nola Dyal or Gary
Beasley discovers or learns of information from whatever source prior to the
Closing Date which would, as a result of the operation of Section 4.1(c),
entitle Buyer not to honor its obligation to purchase the Property, then Buyer
may either (i) terminate this Agreement by giving Seller and Title Company
written notice of such election prior to or upon the Closing Date, in which
event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, or (ii) accept the Property and
such changed condition resulting in a Material Adverse Change or Effect, and
proceed to Closing hereunder in which case Buyer shall have no further recourse
against Seller as a result of such breach. In the event Seller makes such
disclosure to Buyer or if John Saer, Scott Dalecio, Nola Dyal or Gary Beasley
discovers or learns of information from whatever source prior to the Closing
Date which makes the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.1
materially inaccurate but does not result in a Material Adverse Change or
Effect, then Buyer shall proceed to Closing hereunder and Buyer shall have the
right to proceed against Seller for damages in connection therewith pursuant to
the terms of this Section 6.2. The terms of Article VI shall survive the
Closing.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                       RISK OF LOSS AND INSURANCE PROCEEDS

         8.1 DAMAGE BY CASUALTY. Seller shall bear all risk of loss with respect
to the Property up to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller
shall promptly notify Buyer if, prior to the Closing, the Property or any
portion thereof is damaged or destroyed by casualty. If

                                       -28-
<PAGE>

the cost to repair such damage or destruction to the Property (as reasonably
estimated by Seller and Buyer) would cost less than Seven Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000), Buyer shall not have the right to
terminate Buyer's obligations under this Agreement by reason thereof, but
Seller shall either repair and restore the Property prior to the Closing or
assign and transfer to Buyer on the Closing Date all of Seller's right, title
and interests in and to all insurance proceeds including business
interruption insurance after the Closing Date paid (and to be paid) to Seller
on account of such casualty, and Seller shall additionally credit Buyer with
the amount of any deductible under Seller's insurance policies.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event such
casualty is deemed to be "Major Damage" (as defined herein below), then this
Agreement may be terminated at the option of either party, which option shall
be exercised, if at all, by providing written notice to the other party,
which notice shall be given within ten (10) business days prior to the
Closing Date, provided, however, if Buyer first receives such notification
less than ten (10) business days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may, by
notice delivered to Seller, delay the Closing Date to a date not later than
ten (10) business days after the date Buyer first receives such notification,
and Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement, as provided herein, during
such ten (10) business day period. In the event that a party exercises its
election to terminate this Agreement by reason of this Section 8.1, this
Agreement shall terminate, Buyer and Seller shall each pay one-half (1/2) of
the escrow charges, if any, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer
and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder,
except pursuant to the indemnity contained in Sections 11.1 and 12.8. For
purposes hereof, "Major Damage" shall be deemed to be any uninsured damage or
destruction to the Property, or any insured damage or destruction to the
Property where (a) the cost of repair or replacement is estimated to be Seven
Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000) or more (as reasonably
determined by Seller and Buyer), or (b) the work of repair or replacement
shall take more than one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such
damage or destruction to repair or replace (as determined in the parties'
good faith judgment), or (c) the net operating income from the Property is
(or would be) diminished after the repair or restoration is completed, and/or
the proceeds of any rental loss insurance paid shall not cover the
diminishment in the net operating income from the Property during the period
of repair (as determined in the parties' good faith judgment). Upon the
exercise of such option by Buyer, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and
upon such return the Agreement shall terminate, except with respect to any
indemnity contained in Sections 11.1 and 12.8. If Buyer does not so elect to
terminate this Agreement, then Seller shall assign and transfer to Buyer on
the Closing Date all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to all
insurance proceeds paid or payable (other than the business interruption
proceeds payable or paid prior to Closing) to Seller on account of such
casualty, and Buyer shall receive a credit equal to any deductibles under
such insurance policies and Seller shall have no obligation to repair or
restore the Property.

         8.2 CONDEMNATION. Seller shall promptly notify Buyer if, prior to the
Closing, the Property or any interest therein, is taken pursuant to the power of
eminent domain, or Seller becomes aware of any proceeding with respect thereto
which is instituted. In such event, and provided that such taking would have a
Material Adverse Effect on the continued use and operation of the Property as a
hotel, Buyer may elect, at its option, to terminate this Agreement as to the
Property by delivering notice of such termination to Seller not later than ten
(10) business days after the date Buyer first receives notification from Seller
of such taking, institution of proceeding or threat. If Buyer first receives
such notification less than ten (10)

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

business days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may, by notice delivered to
Seller, delay the Closing Date to a date not later than ten (10) business
days after the date Buyer first receives such notification. In the event
Buyer exercises its election to terminate this Agreement by reason of this
Section 8.2, this Agreement will terminate, Buyer and Seller shall each pay
one-half (1/2) of the escrow charges, if any, the Deposit shall be promptly
returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or
obligations hereunder, except pursuant to the indemnity contained in Sections
11.1 and 12.8. In the event Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement
by reason of this Section 8.2, the Closing shall occur on the Closing Date,
the Purchase Price shall not be reduced, and Seller shall assign to Buyer all
of its rights to compensation from the condemning authority and Buyer shall
have no further recourse against Seller as a result of such action.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                     CLOSING

         9.1 ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS. Upon execution of this Agreement, Seller shall
deposit an executed copy of this Agreement with the Title Company, and this
instrument shall serve as the instructions to the Title Company as the escrow
holder for consummation of the purchase and sale contemplated hereby. Seller and
Buyer agree to execute such reasonable additional and supplementary escrow
instructions as may be appropriate to enable the Title Company to comply with
the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of any
conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any supplementary escrow
instructions, the terms of this Agreement shall control. Without limiting the
foregoing, no provision of the printed escrow instructions shall modify the time
for any performance required by either party under this Agreement, extend the
time for Closing, nor give either party any grace period not otherwise provided
in this Agreement.

         9.2 CLOSING. The Closing hereunder shall occur on December 22, 2000, or
such earlier date as Buyer and Seller may mutually agree upon in writing (the
"Closing Date"). Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Closing Date
may not be extended without the prior written approval of both Seller and Buyer.

shall have no right to terminate this Agreement with respect thereto;

                               SELLER'S COVENANTS

         10.1 MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTY. From the date hereof until the
Closing Date, consistent with Seller's prior operation of the business of the
Hotel, Seller shall (a) maintain the Property in substantially the same manner
as prior to the date hereof pursuant to Seller's normal

                                      -34-
<PAGE>

course of business and customary for the Property, subject to reasonable wear
and tear and further subject to the occurrence of any damage or destruction
to the Property by casualty or other causes or events beyond the control of
Seller, provided, however, that Seller's obligation under this Section 10.1
shall not include any obligation to make capital expenditures except for
Seller's Capital Projects (as defined below) if any; (b) continue to maintain
its existing insurance coverage on the Property (which insurance shall be
terminated by Seller at Closing unless Buyer otherwise elects to assume such
insurance coverage by providing Seller with written notice thereof on or
prior to Closing); (c) not grant or permit the creation of any voluntary
liens or encumbrances affecting the Hotel other than in the ordinary course
of business; (d) not enter into any lease, amendment of lease or other
contract pertaining to the Hotel, except as provided in Section 10.2; (e)
maintain usual and customary levels/inventories of Operating Equipment and
Operating Supplies, FF&E, liquor inventory and other Personal Property
pursuant to Seller's normal course of business and customary for the Hotel;
(f) not remove or fail to replace any FF&E from the Hotel (other than in the
ordinary course of business in which case adequate replacements shall have
been made in the ordinary course of business); (g) not hire, discharge and
set compensation levels for Hotel employees except in the ordinary course of
business or otherwise in accordance with Seller's current and customary
practices and policies; and (h) proceed with the capital improvements set
forth on Schedule 10.1 attached hereto ("Seller's Capital Projects") through
the Closing Date.

         10.2 BUYER'S APPROVAL OF NEW CONTRACTS AFFECTING THE PROPERTY. Seller
shall not, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, enter into
any lease, amendment of any existing Lease, contract or agreement pertaining in
any way to the Property, or modify in any way any Assumed Contracts pertaining
in any way to the Property, or waive any rights of Seller thereunder, without in
each case obtaining Buyer's prior written consent thereto, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (excluding, however, (a) any booking or
room reservation agreements or contracts which are on commercially reasonable
terms with unaffiliated third parties, (b) any new leases, amendments of any
existing Leases, contracts or agreements with unaffiliated third parties which
are on commercially reasonable terms and which will not survive the Closing or
which may be canceled without penalty on not more than thirty (30) days' notice,
and (c) those new leases, amendments to existing Leases, contracts or agreements
which involve an aggregate annual expenditure of less than Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000). If Buyer fails to give notice of its approval or disapproval of any
such proposed action within three (3) business days after Seller notifies Buyer
in writing of such decision to take such action, Buyer shall be deemed to have
given its approval thereto. For purposes of this Section 10.2, notice shall be
given by Seller to Buyer by facsimile sent to Scott Dalecio at (760) 564-8005,
with a facsimile copy sent to Nola S. Dyal, Esq. at (760) 564-8003.

         10.3 TERMINATION OF EXISTING AGREEMENTS. On or prior to the Closing
Date, Seller shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to provide written
notice of termination with respect to any agreement, contract, and/or lease
relating to the use, operation, management and/or business of the Hotel which is
not an Assumed Contract effective as of the date of Closing.

         10.4 TERMINATION OF VOLUNTARY TITLE EXCEPTION(S). Seller hereby
covenants to deliver title to the Real Property at Closing free and clear of any
"Voluntary Title Exception(s)" and take, or cause to be taken, all necessary
actions on or prior to Closing such that the Voluntary Title Exception(s) shall
not appear upon Buyer's Title Policy. The term "Voluntary Title

                                      -35-
<PAGE>

Exception(s)" shall mean any lien or encumbrance against the Hotel that is
knowingly or intentionally created by Seller, provided, however, that the
Voluntary Title Exception(s) shall not include those exceptions set forth in
Schedule B, Section 2 of the Title Commitment. If prior to Closing either
Seller or Buyer becomes aware of any Voluntary Title Exception(s), then
Seller or Buyer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other party
thereof, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the Voluntary Title
Exception(s) at issue and Seller shall eliminate or cure all such Voluntary
Title Exception(s) on or prior to Closing. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate
as necessary to assist Seller to eliminate or cure any such Voluntary Title
Exception; provided, however, in no event shall Buyer be required to incur
any cost or expend any funds in connection with its reasonable cooperation
with Seller.

         10.5 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Seller hereby covenants and agrees that it
will cooperate with Buyer and use good faith efforts in distributing any and all
estoppel certificates reasonably requested by Buyer with respect to (a) tenants,
occupants or concessionaires under the Leases, (b) the Villas Association with
respect to the Property Management Agreement dated January 1, 1997 and the
Service Agreement dated January 1, 1997, and/or (c) any other entity,
organization or association disclosed in the Title Commitment, provided,
however, that Buyer's receipt of such estoppel certificates shall not be a
condition to its obligation to close under this Agreement and Buyer shall not
have any recourse against Seller if any such certificates are not obtained
despite Seller's compliance with the terms of this provision.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                         SELLER'S AND BUYER'S COVENANTS

         11.1 ACCESS. Seller shall give Buyer and its employees,
representatives, agents, third party consultants and advisors full access to:
(a) the Property; (b) all of the books, contracts, files, commitments, permits,
licenses and any other records relative to the Hotel Buyer deems appropriate
with respect thereto, but specifically excluding any personnel files; (c) all
management, the chief engineer, director of sales and marketing and other
department representatives of the Property, and other employees of the Property;
and (d) contact any Authorities that may have information and/or documentation
concerning the Property; subject, however, to Buyer's coordination and
scheduling of all initial contracts with such persons and/or entities with David
Feder, the Senior Vice President and Managing Director of the Hotel, who shall
diligently respond to Buyer's requests and reasonably cooperate with Buyer in
connection with Buyer's inquiries. Further, Buyer shall coordinate access to
Seller's outside counsel with Richard Handley and access to Seller's accountants
with Bill Pierce, each of whom shall reasonably respond to Buyer's requests and
reasonably cooperate with Buyer in connection with Buyer's inquiries. Seller
will cause its accountants to furnish such additional financial and operating
data and other information, within the possession and control of such
accountants, as Buyer may from time to time reasonably request.

         In connection with any entry by Buyer, or its agents, employees or
contractors onto the Property, Buyer shall give Seller reasonable advance notice
of such entry and shall conduct such entry and any inspections in connection
therewith so as to minimize, to the extent reasonably possible, interference
with Seller's business, the business of Seller's tenants, or guests of the
Hotel, and otherwise in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller. Without
limiting the

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

foregoing, prior to any entry to perform any on-site inspections or testing,
Buyer shall give Seller written notice thereof, including the identity of the
company or persons who will perform such testing and the proposed scope of
the testing. Buyer shall maintain, and shall ensure that its contractors
maintain, public liability and property damage insurance in amounts and in
form and substance reasonably adequate to insure against all liability of
Buyer and its agents, employees or contractors, arising out of any entry or
inspections of the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof; and Buyer
shall provide Seller with evidence of such insurance coverage upon request by
Seller. Buyer shall fully restore the Hotel to the condition in which the
same was found before any such inspections, tests or studies were undertaken.
Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any costs,
damages, liabilities, losses, expenses, liens or claims (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) relating to personal injury or
property damage arising out of or relating to any entry on the Property by
Buyer, its agents, employees or contractors in the course of performing the
inspections, testings or inquiries provided for in this Agreement. The
indemnification provisions of this Section 11.1 shall survive the Closing or
any termination of this Agreement and shall be in addition to any liability
under Section 2.2(b)(ii).

         Buyer will permit the Hotel accounting staff ("Staff") to close the
books as of the Closing Date and prepare the Closing Balance Chart and Income
Statement by January 10, 2001. In addition, Buyer will permit the Staff to
prepare a monthly Balance Sheet and Income Statement through the 90 day "true
up" period in order to determine the Final Working Capital Calculation.

         11.2 CONFIDENTIALITY: RETURN OF INFORMATION TO SELLER. Prior to the
Closing Date, neither party shall directly or indirectly use or disclose any
confidential information concerning the Property, the other party, the other
party's assets or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to any Person
except that such matters may be disclosed (a) to such party's directors,
officers, partners, and employees; (b) to such party's legal counsel,
accountants, engineers, architects, financial advisors, lenders and similar
professionals and consultants to the extent such party deems it reasonably
necessary or appropriate in connection with the evaluation of the transaction
contemplated hereby; (c) to third parties having an ownership interest in or
relationship with the Hotel (such as existing mortgagees and equipment lessors)
to whom disclosure is necessary or desirable in order to facilitate the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and (d) to the extent
deemed reasonably necessary to satisfy the Governmental Regulations (including,
without limitation, the requirements of a party under all applicable state or
federal securities laws). Buyer shall also advertise, interview, test and
recruit for employment positions and to make such other disclosures to third
parties as Buyer determines, in its reasonable judgment, to consummate the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement. For the purpose of this Section
11.2, the term "confidential information" shall mean information which is or
becomes known to a party or its respective affiliates or to their employees,
former employees, consultants or others in a confidential relationship with such
party, including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
and which relates to the Property, the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or the business of either party; provided, however, that confidential
information shall not include (i) information which is or becomes generally
available to the public other than through a violation of law or obligation
hereunder, (ii) information which, in the opinion of counsel to either party,
such party is required by law, court order, governmental order or decree to
disclose, except that the other party may at its own expense appeal such court
order, (iii) information which was developed by such party on its own,
independent from the proprietary information made available to such party
hereunder,

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

and (iv) information which was subsequently made available to such party by a
third party who was not violating the law or any obligation hereunder in
making such disclosure. In addition, except as required by law (which
disclosure shall be governed by the terms of clause (ii) hereinabove) neither
party shall issue any press release to the public without the prior written
consent of the other party; provided, however, that each party acknowledges
and agrees that the other party may need to communicate with the press (or
applicable governmental entity in connection with securities laws) on an
expedited basis both prior to and upon Closing and each party agrees to
respond rapidly to any request by the other party with respect thereto and
the failure by the party from whom approval is requested to approve or
disapprove any press release within twenty-four (24) hours after delivery
thereof will be deemed such party's approval of such press release. In any
event, each of the parties acknowledge, agree and consent that the press
release attached hereto as EXHIBITS O-1 and O-2 has been approved by the
parties and will be released simultaneous with the execution hereof. In the
event the transaction contemplated by this Agreement fails to close for any
reason, then upon Seller's written request therefor, Buyer shall promptly
return to Seller and/or destroy all documents, instruments, copies of
materials and other written information furnished to Buyer pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.

         11.3 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
each party agrees to use its best efforts to do, or cause to be done, all
things, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, necessary, proper, or
advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement as expeditiously as practicable, including,
without limitation, the performance of such further acts or the execution and
delivery of such additional instruments or documents, not inconsistent with the
terms of this Agreement, as any party may reasonably request in order to carry
out the purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby,
including, without limitation, in connection with the transfer to Buyer of the
Assumed Contracts. Additionally, Seller hereby agrees to reasonably cooperate
with Buyer with respect to the assignment of the Golf Rights Litigation,
including, but not limited to, executing all documents reasonably requested by
Buyer to effectuate a transfer of the Golf Rights Litigation to Buyer , subject,
however, to the provisions of this Section 11.3 (including executing a conflict
waiver, a limited waiver of attorney-client privilege sufficient to effectuate
the transfer to Buyer of the Golf Rights Litigation and a waiver of work product
privilege limited to the Golf Rights Litigation, if requested by Brown & Bain,
P.A., if Buyer elects to retain such firm for representation in the Golf Rights
Litigation) and requesting that Persons testify, at Buyer's expense and as
reasonably requested of such Persons, on behalf of Buyer in connection with such
Golf Rights Litigation. Further, Buyer hereby agrees to reasonably cooperate
with Seller with respect to Seller's on-going prosecution of the Construction
Litigation as more fully set forth in the "Litigation Support Agreement"
attached hereto as EXHIBIT N. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall
either party be required to incur any expenses in connection with its reasonable
cooperation with the other party. Further, with respect to actions identified in
the Golf Course Litigation and the Construction Litigation (collectively, the
"Actions"), the parties hereto shall have the following duties and
responsibilities with respect to the Actions:

                  (a) KABUTO NO. 1.

fees and other costs (collectively "Costs") awarded to Seller by any court in
Kabuto No. 1. Seller shall be responsible for processing through to
completion any dismissals, orders, judgments and other documents and for
taking such further actions as are necessary and/or appropriate to document

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                           (ii)     If the Arizona Supreme Court accepts

decisions, witness decisions, decisions to settle and all other decisions
related to the Kabuto No. 1 litigation, and Seller shall pay all of the Costs
related to the Arizona Supreme Court's review, including, but not limited to,

($50,000) in the aggregate (including any costs related to the Arizona
Supreme Court review of Kabuto No. 2) (it being understood that all Costs in
excess of such $50,000 amount shall be the responsibility of Buyer), and (B)
Buyer shall not settle the Kabuto No. 1 litigation without Seller's consent
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed recognizing that Buyer

litigation, Seller shall be entitled to pursue its award of attorneys' fees
as set forth in paragraph (a)(i) above.

                           (iii)    If the Arizona Supreme Court reverses the
judgment of the appellate court, and/or if the Arizona Supreme Court remands
the matter to the Arizona Court of Appeals or to the trial court for
substantive review (I.E., for other than a determination of attorneys' fees
or for clarification of procedural matters), then Buyer shall be responsible,
and shall have the right, to pay for, defend and to otherwise control, in its
sole and absolute discretion, the Kabuto No. 1 litigation. This control

                  (b)      KABUTO NO. 2.

                           (i)      If the Arizona Supreme Court summarily

                                     -39-
<PAGE>

taking such further actions as are necessary and/or appropriate to document
the dismissal of the matter. Prior to the Arizona Supreme Court
determination, Seller shall not settle, compromise or otherwise affect any of
Buyer's rights in Kabuto No. 2 without the express consent of Buyer, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                           (ii)     If the Arizona Supreme Court accepts

<PAGE>

                  (d)      CONSTRUCTION LITIGATION. As more fully set forth
in the Litigation Support Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit N, Buyer
hereby agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller with respect to Seller's
on-going prosecution of the Construction Litigation. Buyer acknowledges and
agrees that some or all such claims may be compromised, cancelled, modified
or terminated in whole or in part, at Seller's sole and unfettered discretion
in connection with Seller's retention of the Construction Litigation. At
Closing, Buyer shall execute and deliver the Litigation Support Agreement in
the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT N.

                  The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall survive the Closing.
However, in no event shall Seller have any recourse to Buyer in respect of any
Golf Rights Litigation, Construction Litigation or Londen Litigation.

         11.4     EMPLOYEES. Buyer will decide in its sole and absolute
discretion whether to employ any of the existing Hotel employees or other
applicants interviewed during the Transition Period. Further, notwithstanding
any decision made by Buyer with respect thereto, Seller shall be responsible
for terminating, at Closing all employees in accordance with the terms of
Section 11.4(a) below; provided, however, that Buyer shall rehire employees
of Seller to the extent and for the period after Closing as required to
permit Seller to perform this action without requiring that Seller give any
notice or otherwise comply with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act U.S.C. Section 2101 ET SEQ. (the "WARN Act") and, Buyer agrees
to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all
claims of the employees of Seller, employee representatives, and applicable
units of local government based on failure to comply with the WARN Act, to
the extent applicable. Unless otherwise agreed between Seller and Buyer,
Seller shall be responsible for any liability for payment of all employees'
wages, accrued vacation pay, sick leave, bonuses, severance obligations,
pension benefits and other benefits, including, without limitation, any COBRA
rights, earned by and due to or accrued to employees at the Property as of
the day prior to the Closing Date, together with FICA, unemployment and other
taxes and benefits due from any employer of such employees, and including
COBRA benefits that are due to employees of Seller that Buyer does not hire
upon the Closing Date.

                  (a)      FUTURE EMPLOYMENT OF EMPLOYEES. At Closing, the
employment by Seller of all employees whose employment is at or for the
Hotel, shall terminate and such employees shall cease to participate in any
employee benefit plans maintained by or for the benefit of Seller. Seller
shall retain responsibility for the payment of any employee benefits or
entitlements, including severance pay, accrued vacation, sick or holiday pay,
to all terminated employees pursuant to any employee benefit plan, fund,
program, contract, policy or arrangement of Seller or applicable law or
regulation as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby. Subject to the WARN Act obligations described in the first paragraph
of Section 11.4, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer
upon any employee of Seller, or any representative of any such employee, any
rights or remedies, including any right to employment, continued employment
for any period, or seniority rights, of any nature whatsoever, provided,
however, that any employee seniority rights shall "vest" with respect to any
employees re-hired by Buyer upon Closing and who thereafter remain in Buyer's
employment for at least a one (1) year continuous period. Further, Buyer
hereby agrees that with respect to any medical benefits provided by Buyer to
any employees of the Hotel re-hired by Buyer upon Closing, all "waiting
periods" relating to such benefits shall be waived. With respect to the
401(K) benefit plan(s)

                                     -41-
<PAGE>

provided by Buyer to any employees of the Hotel re-hired by Buyer upon
Closing, such employees shall be subject to the applicable "qualification"
period(s) set forth in such 401(K) benefit plan(s).

                  (b)      HEALTH CARE CONTINUATION REQUIREMENTS. The parties
acknowledge that the transactions contemplated hereby will result in obligations
on the part of Seller and one or more of Seller's employee benefit plans that is
a welfare benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA) to comply
with the health care continuation requirements of Part 6 of Title 1 of ERISA and
Code Section 4980B, as applicable. Seller and each such employee benefit plan
that is such a welfare benefits plan shall comply with the applicable
requirements of such laws. Seller shall take all actions to insure continuation
of each such employee benefit plan that is such a welfare benefit plan for a
minimum period of one hundred twenty (120) days from and after the Closing Date.
The parties expressly agree that Buyer and Buyer's benefit plans, if any, shall
have no responsibility for compliance with such health care continuation
requirements (i) for qualified beneficiaries who previously elected to receive
continued coverage under Seller's ERISA benefit plans or who between the date of
this Agreement and the Closing Date elect to receive continued coverage, or (ii)
with respect to those employees or former employees of Seller who may become
eligible to receive such continued coverage as a result of the transactions

Arizona Department of Revenue, and City of Phoenix charges, fees, taxes
assessments and, to the extent applicable, fines and penalties relating to

hereto pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, and the
indemnification provisions of this Section 11.7 shall survive the Closing.

         12.2      GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by and

         12.3      INTERPRETATION OF AGREEMENT. The article, section and
other headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and
shall not be construed to affect the meaning of any provision contained
herein. All Exhibits and Schedules described herein and attached hereto are
fully incorporated into this Agreement for all purposes by this reference.
Where the context so requires, the use of the singular shall include the
plural and vice versa and the use of the masculine shall include the feminine
and the neuter. The parties acknowledge that, with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (a) each party and its attorneys
have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of
construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against
the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this
Agreement or any amendments, Exhibits or Schedules thereto and (b) each party
has relied solely on the advice of its own accounting, tax, legal and other
advisors. All dates and times referred to in this Agreement (unless otherwise
specified) shall refer to the local time or date in Phoenix, Arizona. In the

         12.4      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, together with the
Exhibits and Schedules hereto, contains all representations, warranties and
covenants made by Buyer and Seller and constitutes the entire understanding
between the parries hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any
prior correspondence, memoranda or agreements are replaced in total by this
Agreement together with the Exhibits and Schedules hereto.

         12.5      SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof to any Person, place, or circumstance, except for any
item which constitutes a material element of the consideration between the
parties, shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
unenforceable, or void, the remainder of this Agreement and such provisions
as applied to other Persons, places, and circumstances shall remain in full
force and effect.

         12.6      COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

         12.7      SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Buyer shall not have the right to
assign all or any part of its interest in this Agreement without obtaining
the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in
Seller's sole and absolute discretion, except Buyer may assign this Agreement
or any portion thereof to any of its subsidiaries and affiliates upon notice
thereof to Seller (a "Permitted Assignment"). In no event shall Buyer be
released from any of its obligations or liabilities hereunder whether or not
Seller approves of any assignment of this Agreement or there is a Permitted
Assignment. Buyer hereby agrees that any assignment by Buyer in contravention
of this provision shall be void and shall not relieve Buyer of its
obligations and liabilities hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this
Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties
hereto and their respective successors, heirs, administrators and assigns.

         12.8      FINDERS AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS. Except as expressly
provided to the contrary in this Agreement, each party hereto shall pay its
own expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) incurred in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The
parties represent and warrant to each other that no broker or finder was
involved in arranging or bringing about this transaction and there are no
claims or rights for brokerage commissions or finders' fees in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Chase Securities Inc.
("Chase"), acts as financial advisor to Seller in connection with the
transaction which is the subject of this Agreement and Chase's compensation
shall be paid by Seller pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and
Chase. An affiliate of Chase engaged Diamond Realty, Inc., an Arizona real
estate broker ("Diamond"), and Diamond's compensation shall be paid by Chase,
or Chase's affiliate, pursuant to a separate agreement between Chase and/or
Chase's affiliate and Diamond Realty, Inc. In the event that any broker or
finder brings a claim for a commission or finder's fee based upon any
contact, dealings or communication with Buyer or Seller, the party through
whom the broker or finder makes his claim shall defend the other party from
such claim, and shall indemnify the other party and hold the other party
harmless from any and all damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) paid or incurred by
the other party in defending against the claim. The provisions of this
Section 12.8 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement
and shall be in addition to any liability under Section 2.2(b)(ii).

                                     -46-
<PAGE>

         12.9      ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event either party hereto fails to
perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event any
dispute arises between the parties hereto concerning the meaning or
interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, the defaulting party or
the party not prevailing in such dispute, as the case may be, shall pay any
and all costs and expenses incurred by the other, party on account of such
default and/or in enforcing or establishing its rights hereunder, including,
without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements.

         12.10     WAIVER OF COMPLIANCE. Any failure of Seller, on the one
hand, or Buyer, on the other, to comply with any provision of this Agreement
may be expressly waived in writing by Buyer or Seller, respectively, but such
waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such provision shall
not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or
other failure. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right,
remedy, or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, or power hereunder preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
remedy, or power provided herein or by law or in equity. The waiver by any
party of the time for performance of any act or condition hereunder does not
constitute a waiver of the act or condition itself.

         12.11     AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may not be amended or modified
except by a written instrument signed by both Buyer and Seller.

         12.12     TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the
performance of Buyer's obligations under this Agreement.

         12.13     SHADOW MANAGEMENT. During the Transition Period, Seller
shall permit Buyer to establish and maintain a shadow management operation
with respect to the Hotel. Personnel from Buyer's shadow management operation
shall have reasonable access during normal business hours to all books,
records and other information in the possession or control of records and
other information in the possession or control of Seller or its agents
concerning the Hotel and shall have the right (at Buyer's expense) to
establish duplicate books and records (whether in tangible or electronic
form) in order to effect a smooth transition in the ownership and management
of the Hotel; provided, however, that Buyer and its shadow management
operation and employees shall not unreasonably interfere with the normal
management and operation of the Hotel, shall repair any damage to the
physical condition of the Hotel caused by Buyer or its agents in any such
shadow management operation, shall have no decision making authority, no
supervisory authority, and shall not be deemed to have assumed management
responsibilities prior to Closing by virtue of such shadow management.

         12.14     SELLER'S GUARANTOR. The Guarantor shall guarantee to Buyer
the due and punctual payment and performance of those certain obligations of
Seller ("Seller Obligations") as set forth in the Seller Guaranty attached
hereto as EXHIBIT I.

         12.15     GROUND LEASE ASSIGNMENT. Following the execution of this
Agreement, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of
Villas Association to the Assignment of Ground Lease, which consent shall be
in the form of "Consent of Ground Lessor" contained within the Assignment of
Ground Lease attached hereto as EXHIBIT B, duly executed and

                                     -47-
<PAGE>

acknowledged by Villas Association. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with
each other and use reasonable efforts to satisfy the foregoing condition, and
Buyer shall provide any documentation reasonably requested by Villas
Association relating to Villas Association's review of Buyer as the proposed
successor lessee under the Ground Lease.

         12.16     SELLER INDEMNIFICATION REGARDING GROUND LEASE. In addition
to the indemnification provided in Section 11.7 above, in the event that
Seller fails to obtain the consent of the Villas Association to the
Assignment of Ground Lease prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall indemnify,
defend, protect and hold Buyer, each of the parties comprising Buyer, and
each of their respective Indemnified Parties, from and against any and all
claims, demands, liabilities, judgments, penalties, losses, costs, damages
and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and
experts' fees and costs relating to or arising in any manner whatsoever from
the failure to obtain such consent prior to Closing. Buyer hereby covenants
and agrees that Buyer shall first pursue all claims related to the consent of
the Villas Association to the Assignment of Ground Lease to Buyer against the
Title Company and Buyer's Title Policy including, without limitation, claims
made by Buyer against the Title Company and Seller under that certain
Tri-Party Agreement Regarding Ground Lease among Buyer, Seller and Title
Company dated of even date herewith, prior to making any claims against
Seller therefor.

         12.17     DISSOLUTION/LIQUIDATION OF SELLER. Neither Seller nor any
of its direct or indirect constituent partners shall dissolve nor liquidate
prior to the expiration of the Survival Period. The provisions of this
Section 12.17 shall survive the Closing.

         12.18     AUDIT OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION. From and after the date of
Closing, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer with respect to the
audit of the Financial Information, which cooperation shall include Seller
providing authorization to Arthur Anderson to make available working papers
and related information, provided, however, that Buyer shall reimburse Seller
for its reasonable third-party costs incurred in connection therewith.
