2.02 Except as set forth in paragraph 1.01 and 2.03, Seller shall retain
all the rights and all the obligations with respect to all obligations and
liabilities of the Resort and its operation arising from or relating to the
period on and prior to the date of Closing, including without limitation, all
accounts payable, employees and employee claims, salaries and wages payable,
vacation pay for vacation earned, and payroll taxes associated therewith,
unbooked accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash, cash equivalents, security
deposits, utility and telephone payments, utility deposits, bank deposits, bank
and operating accounts, and all other obligations for the Resort, existing as of
and on the Closing Date and for the period prior thereto, as well as for its
prorata share of current real property taxes and current assessments as of the
Closing Date. Seller's prorata share of real property taxes and assessments
shall be paid to Buyer in cash on the Adjustment Date as defined in paragraph
2.03 hereof if not known and prorated at Closing. Buyer, its wholly owned
subsidiary, or through a management company as Buyer may employ, shall receive
payments paid to the Resort on all Seller's accounts receivable existing as of
the Closing Date as Seller's agent and shall remit all amounts received to
Seller within thirty (30) days of receipt. Such receipt of accounts receivable
shall be undertaken in the usual and ordinary course of the Resort business and
Buyer shall not be required to undertake any solicitations or other effort or
legal action to collect. Receipt of these accounts receivable as set forth above
shall be without cost to Seller. Any payment other than cash delivered for
Seller shall be transmitted in kind by Buyer without recourse to Buyer.
Adjustment for cash security deposits, prepaid or accrued expenses shall be made
as provided in paragraph 2.03 below.
2.03 Buyer and Seller agree that a prorated net adjustment (the "Net
Adjustment") shall be computed as of the Closing Date for any amounts actually
paid to (or to be paid to) and for any amounts actually paid by (or to be paid
by) one party, but otherwise under this Agreement belonging to the other party
or chargeable to the other party, as the case may be. The computations of the
Net Adjustment will be made as of the Closing Date and exclude the cash payment
described in paragraph 2.01(a) above. Buyer and Seller agree to use their best
efforts to ensure that a full accounting of the Net Adjustments be provided no
later than the Closing Date to the extent practicable (the "Adjustment Date").
If Seller owes the Net Adjustment to Buyer, then Buyer shall deduct such amount
from the Down Payment as of the Closing Date. If Buyer owes the Net Adjustment
to Seller, such amount shall be added to the Down Payment, as of the Closing
Date. The parties acknowledge that some items subject to adjustment may not be
received prior to the Adjustment Date, and wherever the context requires,
Adjustment Date shall also mean Supplemental Adjustment Date as defined below.
Accordingly, there shall be a supplemental adjustment determined thirty (30)
days after the Closing Date or such other date or dates as the parties may agree
or which may be necessary if all information has not been received (the
"Supplemental Adjustment Date(s)") for such items, with such supplemental
adjustments to be made as of the Closing Date and paid to the other party within
ten (10) days after the Supplemental Adjustment Date. Buyer and Seller agree
that adjustments will include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following:
(a) Sales and Other Taxes. Any sales, transaction privilege,
gaming or other periodic taxes (except Seller's corporate income tax)
based on pre-Closing Resort revenue, which taxes having been collected
and not paid, or which are due or to become due and the amount known or
determinable at Closing, shall be paid by Seller at Closing. All other
such amounts not so determinable on or before the Adjustment Date,
shall be an adjustment in favor of Buyer unless
-4-
otherwise paid by Seller. Upon presentation by Buyer of a copy of the
sales or other tax return, with an allocation of Seller's
responsibility therefor, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for such amount
within ten (10) business days after the date of such presentation.
(b) Insurance. If Buyer continues any insurance that Seller has
previously obtained with respect to the Resort, Buyer agrees to
reimburse Seller for the proportionate share of insurance costs prepaid
by Seller for any coverage continued by Buyer after Closing, prorated
as of the Closing Date.
(c) Certain Payments. All Lease, Service Contracts, utility and
telephone payments shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.
(d) Customer Deposits and Prepayments. All unearned customer
deposits and prepayments for services to be performed or goods to be
delivered after Closing, shall be prorated in favor of Buyer as of the
Closing Date.
(e) Utility and Equipment Lease Deposits. All utility and
equipment lease deposits shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing and
shall be an adjustment in favor of Seller on the Adjustment Date.
(f) License Fees. Any prepaid license fees shall be prorated as
of the Closing Date, and shall be an adjustment in favor of Seller on
the Adjustment Date.
(g) Employees and Payroll Related Expenses. At Buyer's option,
Buyer may require that all or any part of the Resort's employees resign
as of the Closing Date. To the extent not so required by Buyer, any
Workmen's Compensation premium deposits to be utilized by Buyer shall
be prorated to the Closing Date, and shall be an adjustment in favor of
Seller on the Adjustment Date. Current wages, salaries, vacation and
sick leave accrued as of the Closing Date shall be an adjustment in
favor of Buyer on the Adjustment Date computed as if the vacation will
be taken and the sick leave used. For purposes of the foregoing, paid
vacation and sick leave shall be deemed paid on a first accrued-first
paid basis.
(h) Ledgers. All amounts receivable for lodging provided prior
to the Closing Date, as shown on the Ledgers, shall be receivables to
be received by Buyer on behalf of Seller as set forth above.
(i) To the extent the foregoing prorations and adjustments are
specifically dealt with in the Hotel Facilities Lease, they shall be
resolved herein in a manner consistent with that document.
(j)For all purposes of proration and allocation of responsibility and liability
as described in this Agreement, the Closing Date and the period prior thereto
are allocated to the Seller, and the period after the Closing Date is allocated
to the Buyer. The words "as of" or "on" the Closing or Closing Date or similar
wording, as well as the words "Closing" or "Closing Date" where appropriate in
the context, shall be interpreted accordingly.

2.04 The items below shall be paid as follows:

"P" from the Closing funds through the Escrow Agent.

coverage, and the cost of any special endorsements as may be desired by
Buyer.

shall be paid in full by Buyer.

Price, for all purposes relating to this Agreement, shall be allocated among the
various assets comprising the Resort as the parties shall mutually agree in
writing prior to the end of the Feasibility Period and attached hereto as
Exhibit "H".

as the escrow agent ("Escrow Agent") hereunder and shall, among other things, on

necessary documents resulting herefrom and shall cause the issuance of the
Policies of title insurance required under Section 8, together with proper
issuance of any reinsurance agreements pertaining to such title insurance
policies, and otherwise accomplish the provisions of this Agreement. Escrow
Agent has acknowledged its agreement to these provisions by signing in the place
indicated on the signature page of this Agreement. The parties agree, if
required by Escrow Agent, to execute and enter into Escrow Agent's standard form
of escrow instructions, all with such modifications as the parties shall
reasonably request.
Section 3. Feasibility and Investigation
-----------------------------
3.01 In consideration of Buyer entering into the mutual covenants in this
Agreement, at any time on or prior to the sixtieth (60th) day after the date of
this Agreement (or as other terms of this Agreement may specifically extend such
period) (the "Feasibility Period"), Buyer may cancel this Agreement and all
agreements relating thereto (except for its indemnity relating to disturbance of
the Resort as described below in this Section) for any reason whatsoever in
Buyer's sole and absolute discretion, by providing to Seller and Escrow Agent
written notice of such cancellation. In the event Buyer timely gives notice of
cancellation in accordance with the provisions hereof, this Agreement shall
become null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever and neither
party shall have any further rights or obligations to the other
-6-
hereunder or by reason hereof except for those provisions hereof which are
expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement. If, however,
Buyer shall fail to give notice of Buyer's election to cancel at the time and in
the manner as above provided, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its
right to do so and Buyer shall continue to be bound by the remaining provisions
of this Agreement.
3.02 Buyer shall have the right to enter and examine the Resort and all
other items being sold pursuant to this Agreement at any time after the
execution of this Agreement, and also have the Resort and such items examined
and copied by any persons whom it shall designate, including without limitation,
accountants, attorneys, contractors, engineers, and environmental testing
personnel. Seller shall permit access to the Resort by Buyer and any persons it
designates, and shall fully cooperate and afford them the opportunity to inspect
such items and perform any tests upon the Resort that Buyer deems necessary or
appropriate. Buyer may utilize the office equipment and office facilities at the
Resort without charge (except for any long distance telephone service). Buyer
will not unreasonably interfere with the business of the Resort.
3.03 As to any physical disturbance of the Property or Improvements or
physical injury to person caused by Buyer or its agents, upon completion of such
studies and investigations, if Buyer cancels the Agreement or thereafter does
not close, Buyer agrees to restore any physical damage to the Property or
Improvements caused by Buyer or its agents to the condition it was in prior to
such damage, and further, without regard to whether or not Buyer shall cancel or
close, to defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against all
physical injury to persons arising from such activities by Buyer. These
covenants shall survive cancellation of this Agreement.
3.04 Buyer shall pay the cost of any studies and examinations of the
Resort conducted by agents of Buyer, including any "Phase I" environmental
report and any testing in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
as soon as reasonably practicable after execution of this Agreement Seller, at
its expense, shall provide Buyer with an ALTA Urban Class Survey of the Resort
including such Table A items as specified by Buyer, by a Nevada licensed
surveyor in good standing, certified to Buyer, the title insurer and any lender
connected herewith, with such certification containing such other matters as
Buyer shall reasonably request. As soon as practicable after execution hereof,
Seller shall provide Buyer with copies of all existing surveys, environmental
reports and other studies and reports relating to the Resort in Seller's
possession or under its reasonable control.
3.05 Prior to the Closing, and under such reasonable terms and conditions
as Seller may impose, employees and agents of Buyer may stay at the Resort
without charge for lodging, except for incidentals consumed such as long
distance telephone, food and beverages, provided such stay is primarily for the
purpose of conducting feasibility examinations and investigations or otherwise
working on matters related to this transaction.
-7-
3.06 Title Report
------------
(a) As soon as practicable after execution hereof, Seller will,
at Seller's sole cost and expense, deliver to Buyer a commitment for
title insurance relating to the Property prepared by Escrow Agent and
leading to the issuance of an extended owners policy, together with
complete and legible copies of all recorded documents referred to
therein (the "Title Report") and, in the event that the following are
subsequently prepared, agrees to cause Escrow Agent to deliver to Buyer
any updates and supplements thereto or amendments thereof, in each case
together with complete and legible copies of all matters referred to
therein ("Amendments"). Buyer shall have until the later of the end of
the Feasibility Period or five (5) business days after the date of
delivery of any Amendment (which, at Buyer's option, shall extend the
Closing Date accordingly), to notify Seller and Escrow Agent in writing
of Buyer's objection to any matter(s) indicated therein (but only, in
the case of Amendments, with respect to matters not appearing on the
Title Report or any previously delivered Amendment). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Buyer shall not be entitled to object to any exception
contained in the Title Report (or any Amendment thereof) which is
caused by Buyer's activities under Section 3 hereof (excluding those
resulting from Buyer's discovery of any existing defect or condition).
(b) If Buyer fails to timely object to any title exception
matter disclosed in accordance with the above procedure, Buyer shall be
deemed to have approved the condition of title to the Property. If
Buyer objects to any exception as above provided, Seller shall have
until five (5) business days after the date of delivery of Buyer's
objections to advise Escrow Agent and Buyer in writing with respect to
each specified objection of Seller's election either to (i) take no
action in connection therewith, or (ii) attempt to cause any such
matter(s) to be cured or eliminated at or prior to Close of Escrow.
Insuring over any such item may be done only with Buyer's written
consent in its sole discretion. Seller's failure to give notice within
such five (5) business day period with respect to any of Buyer's
objections shall be deemed to constitute Seller's election to take no
action in connection therewith.
(c) In the event Seller elects or is deemed to have elected to
take no action with respect to any specified objection, Buyer shall
have until the later of the end of the Feasibility Period or five (5)
business days thereafter to advise Escrow Agent and Seller in writing
of its election either to (a) waive such previously specified
objection(s) and close the transaction contemplated hereby in
accordance with the remaining provisions of this Agreement and without
any abatement or reduction of the Purchase Price, or (b) cancel and
terminate the Agreement. Buyer's failure to give written notice within
such period shall be deemed to constitute Buyer's election to waive its
previously specified objections with respect to those matters as to
which Seller has notified or is deemed to have notified Buyer that
Seller will take no action.
(d) With respect to those matters which Seller has notified
Buyer that Seller will attempt to cause to be cured or eliminated (or
insured over with Buyer's consent), Seller shall have until five (5)
business days prior to the Closing (which shall be extended in
accordance with the time periods herein) within which to accomplish the
same; provided, however, that if Seller fails to do so within said
period, or if Seller shall be unable (other than due to its voluntary
act after execution
-8-
hereof causing such disability) to convey title to the Property subject
to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement at the
Closing, then Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedies, may elect
either to (i) waive such previously specified objection(s) and close
the transaction contemplated hereby in accordance with the remaining
provisions of this Agreement and without any abatement or reduction of
the Purchase Price on account thereof, or (ii) cancel this Agreement
and the Escrow, said election of remedies to be evidenced by Buyer's
giving written notice thereof to each of Seller and Escrow Agent at or
prior to the Closing. Buyer's failure to give written notice as
required by the preceding sentence shall be deemed to constitute
Buyer's election to waive its previously specified objection(s). If
Buyer elects to cancel, this Agreement shall become null and void and
of no further force or effect and neither party shall have any further
rights or obligations to the other hereunder or by reason hereof,
except for the provisions hereof which are expressly stated to survive
the termination of the Agreement.
(e) Buyer specifically agrees that nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to impose on Seller any obligation to bring any action
or proceedings, expend any sums or take any other steps of whatever
kind or nature in order to insure over, remove or cure matters
affecting title or to fulfill any condition or expend any monies
therefor unless Seller voluntarily impairs title to the Property or
otherwise voluntarily causes such matter after execution hereof. The
acceptance of the Deed by Buyer shall not diminish Sellers warranties
or any continuing obligation herein.
Section 4. Operations Prior to Closing

Closing, Seller will:
4.01 Continue to operate the Resort as heretofore operated in the normal

without having obtained the prior written consent of Buyer in each such
instance, which will not be
-9-
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Material agreements will include, without
limitation, airline and travel agent commitments, automobile leases, or room or
other facility commitments which are discounted more than twenty-five percent
(25%) from their full rates.
4.06 Not grant or transfer or permit the grant or transfer of any interest
in the Resort or any item being sold pursuant to this Agreement, or grant any
executory rights in connection therewith, except for any items being replaced
with comparable items of equal or greater value in the ordinary course of
business.
4.07 Not discontinue compliance with governmental requirements applicable
to the Resort.
4.08 Promptly advise Buyer of any threatened or actual litigation or
governmental investigation or proceeding affecting the Resort, its licenses, its
operation, or those persons materially involved in its operation. It shall be a
condition precedent to Buyer's obligation to close that there shall be no such
matters threatened or pending at Closing having a potential significant and
material adverse effect on the Resort or upon Seller's ability to convey the
Resort to Buyer.
4.09 Not permit any material alteration, structural modification or
additions to the Resort, except in the nature of ordinary maintenance.

covenant, restriction, easement, encumbrance or lien on or affecting the Resort,

consent of Buyer.
4.11 As a condition precedent to Buyer's obligation to close, Seller shall
have duly performed all covenants and other obligations to be performed by it
under this Section 4.

Obligations

-22-
Section 14 Uniform Commercial Code - Bulk Transfer
---------------------------------------
14.01 The parties believe that this sale is exempt from the application of
the Uniform Commercial Code bulk sale law as it does not involve a seller whose
principal business is the sale of inventory from stock, but involves a resort
hotel the business of which is principally the sale of services.
14.02 To the extent such provisions may apply, unless otherwise requested
by a party prior to the end of the Feasibility Period, Buyer and Seller agree to
waive compliance, as between themselves, with the Bulk Sale provisions of the
Uniform Commercial Code as it may be in force in the State of Nevada.

hereof and prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive
remedy, by written notice given to each of Seller and Escrow Agent on or prior
to the Closing Date, elect either to (i) cancel and terminate this Agreement and
the Escrow, or (ii) receive, by assignment from Seller, all insurance proceeds
and/or condemnation awards, if any, received and/or to be received by Seller as
a result of such casualty or taking (in which case the parties shall proceed to
consummate the transaction without any resulting adjustment of the Purchase
Price).
Section 16 Cancellation and Termination: Remedies for Failure to Close
------------------------------------------------------------
16.01 Wherever this Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of a
condition other than breach or default, one of the parties hereto may elect, or
has the right, to "cancel and terminate" the Agreement, that phrase shall mean
that, unless otherwise herein provided, written notice thereof shall be given to
both Escrow Agent and the other party, and then this Agreement shall immediately
become null and void and of no further force or effect and neither party shall
have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder or by reason
hereof except for those which by the provisions hereof are expressly stated to
survive any termination of this Agreement. If the notice is one of default or
breach and the matter stated in said notice is not cured, corrected or removed
within three (3) days after the date of receipt of the aforesaid written notice
(Seller and Buyer hereby waiving the "13 day" provision contained in any printed
form escrow instructions), then, unless a different time period and result is
specifically stated in this Agreement, the notice may state cancellation shall
then occur and this Agreement shall automatically become null and void and of no
further force or effect and neither party shall have any further rights or
obligations to the other hereunder or by reason hereof except for those which by
the provisions hereof are expressly stated to survive any termination of this
Agreement.
16.02 If Buyer shall breach or fail to perform or fulfill any of its
pre-Closing or Closing obligations hereunder, then, provided that Seller is not
then in default hereunder, Seller may elect to cancel this Agreement by notice
as provided above, or Seller may exercise any and all other remedies then
available to it at law or in equity (including without limitation bringing suit
for damages, specific performance or any other relief to which it may be
entitled).
-23-
16.03 If Seller shall breach or fail to perform or fulfill any of its
pre-Closing or Closing obligations hereunder, then, provided that Buyer is not
then in default hereunder, Buyer may elect to cancel this Agreement by notice as
provided above, or Buyer may exercise any and all other remedies then available
to it at law or in equity (including without limitation bringing suit for
damages, specific performance or any other relief to which it may be entitled).

-24-
