Back to the Top)

Initial Purchasers of Residences or Homesites
Each initial purchaser of a residence or homesite in the Community may at any time within 60 days from the date of his or her closing on the residence or homesite, apply for a membership in the Club, provided the Club has a membership for sale. The number of memberships in each category is limited and available memberships in each category will generally be issued on a first-come, first-served basis. Any initial purchaser who does not apply for a membership within 60 days from the date of his or her closing on the residence or homesite may apply for a membership at a later date only if one is available and not otherwise reserved by the Club, and only upon payment of the membership contribution or initiation fee which is in effect at the time the membership is acquired. It is possible that a membership, other than a Social Membership, will not be available to you after the 60-day availability period. Further, only Equity Memberships acquired within the 60-day availability period and Social Memberships may be transferred to the subsequent purchaser of the member's property in the Community as provided hereinafter.

OWNERSHIP OF A RESIDENCE OR HOMESITE DOES NOT GIVE ANY VESTED RIGHT OR EASEMENT, PRESCRIPTIVE OR OTHERWISE, TO USE THE CLUB FACILITIES, OR TO ACQUIRE A MEMBERSHIP IN THE CLUB AND DOES NOT GRANT ANY OWNERSHIP OR MEMBERSHIP INTEREST IN THE CLUB OR THE CLUB FACILITIES.(Back to the Top)

Membership Subject to Availability
EACH PERSON'S RIGHT TO ACQUIRE A MEMBERSHIP WILL AT ALL TIMES BE SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY. AVAILABLE MEMBERSHIPS MAY BE OFFERED TO PERSONS WHO DO NOT OWN PROPERTY IN THE COMMUNITY. IF A PERSON OWNS OR ACQUIRES A RESIDENCE OR HOMESITE IN THE COMMUNITY AND DOES NOT ACQUIRE A FOUNDER MEMBERSHIP, GOLF MEMBERSHIP OR WEEKDAY MEMBERSHIP IN THE CLUB WHEN IT IS INITIALLY OFFERED, IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THE PERSON OR THE SUBSEQUENT PURCHASER OF THE PERSON'S RESIDENCE OR HOMESITE IN THE COMMUNITY WILL BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE A MEMBERSHIP IN ONE OF THESE CATEGORIES AT A LATER DATE. (
Back to the Top)

Membership Privileges Prior to Closing
The Club may, in its sole discretion, allow the initial purchaser of a residence or homesite in the Community to use the Club Facilities as a member prior to the closing on his or her residence or homesite. The person will be required to pay the applicable membership contribution or initiation fee, dues, fees and other charges established by the Club from time to time. In the event the purchaser does not timely close on the residence or homesite, the Club may terminate the membership privileges by returning to the person the membership contribution or initiation fee and the unused portion of any dues, fees and charges paid by the person in advance for the remainder of the membership year. In this event, a membership will thereafter be made available to the person only in the discretion of the Club. In the event the purchaser does not close on the residence or homesite and the membership is recalled, the membership will be considered to be an unissued membership.(
Back to the Top)

Ownership of Multiple Residences or Homesites
If a person acquires two or more residences or homesites in the Community, the purchaser can acquire a membership for each residence or homesite for which membership privileges are desired. If the person does not acquire a membership for each residence or homesite, the Club will not guarantee that a membership, other than a Social Membership, will be available for the residence or homesite at a later date. Persons who acquire two or more contiguous lots but who construct only one residence may desire only one membership. If a membership is not acquired for the contiguous lot and the contiguous lot is subsequently sold, then the purchaser of the contiguous lot must acquire a membership if the purchaser is to be permitted to use the Club Facilities. The purchaser of the contiguous lot will be able to acquire a membership only if one is available and not reserved and the purchaser has been approved for membership.(
Back to the Top)

Waiting List
If a person desires to acquire a membership in a particular category of membership and a membership is not available in that category, the Club will establish a waiting list for that particular category of membership. Resigned memberships that are not reissued to the subsequent purchaser of a resigned member's residence or homesite or that are repurchased by the Company, as hereinafter provided, will be offered to persons on the waiting list in accordance with the following order of priorities:

First, to members of the Club who desire to upgrade to a higher category of membership;

Second, to property owners in the Community who are not members of the Club; and

Third, to all other persons who desire a membership in the Club.(Back to the Top)

Multiple Owners of Property
In the event a residence or homesite is owned by more than one person (other than spouses), each owner is eligible to obtain a membership provided one is available and not reserved. However, only one membership can be transferred through the Club to the subsequent purchaser of the residence or homesite, as provided hereafter. Therefore, if more than one Equity Membership is acquired, there is no guarantee that the additional Equity Membership(s), once resigned, will be reissued. (
Back to the Top)

Membership Held in Name of Legal Entity
For the convenience of members, a membership may be held in the name of a corporation, partnership, trust or other form of multiple ownership (collectively, the "entity"). The entity must designate one individual or family who will have the right to use the membership. The entity may change the designated user prior to the start of each membership year in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Club and upon payment of the redesignation fee established by the Club. The designated user must submit such forms as required by the Club and will be subject to the approval of the Club. The designated user must be a bona fide director, officer, partner, shareholder or employee of the entity, or a beneficiary, trustee or settlor of the entity if the membership is held in the name of a trust. No person other than the designated user and his or her family and guests will be entitled to simultaneously use the membership and all such use shall be in accordance with the member's category of membership and subject to payment of applicable dues, fees and charges. (
Back to the Top)

MEMBERSHIP CONTRIBUTION / INITIATION FEE

Membership Contribution or Initiation Fee Required to Acquire Membership
Persons desiring to be members of the Club must pay the amount required in respect of the membership contribution or initiation fee established for memberships on the date of application for a membership. Membership contributions are refundable and initiation fees are non-refundable except in the event of recall, as set forth in this Membership Plan.(
Back to the Top)

Setting of Membership Contribution and Initiation Fee
The membership contribution and initiation fee for all memberships in the Club will be fixed by the Company from time to time at any level it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, until the initial issuance of all of the memberships. The membership contribution and initiation fee for memberships which are available for reissuance by the Club will be equal to the membership contribution or initiation fee set by the Company for unissued memberships. After the initial sale of all of the memberships, the membership contribution and initiation fee will be set by the Board of Directors of the Club as determined from time to time.

To be considered a member of the Club, the member must pay the membership contribution or initiation fee within the time period listed in his or her Membership Purchase Agreement. If the member does not pay the membership contribution or initiation fee when due, the member will not be entitled to any use privileges. In addition, the membership of such person can be terminated, without refund of any membership contribution or initiation fee previously paid. In the event a membership is terminated due to non-payment of the membership contribution or initiation fee, the membership will revert to the Company and not the Club, and the Company may issue the membership to any applicant approved by the Company, in its sole discretion.(Back to the Top)

Refund of Membership Contribution Upon Transfer of Membership
The holder of an Equity Membership which has been resigned is entitled to a refund after the Equity Membership has been reissued by the Club. Upon reissuance of the Equity Membership and subject to the "Transfer of Membership" section, the amount to be refunded is eighty percent (80%) of the amount of the membership contribution then charged for a Golf Membership. The difference between the membership contribution paid by the successor Equity Member and the amount refunded to the resigning member will be paid to the Company prior to the Turnover Date as additional consideration for the transfer of the Club property and in consideration of the Company's obligation to fund operating deficits, and will be retained by the Club after the Turnover Date.

The Club shall be obligated to make a refund to the resigning Equity Member only after the membership has been reissued to a successor Equity Member.(Back to the Top)

Refund of Initiation Fee Upon Recall of Weekday Corporate Memberships
The Club reserves the right to recall Weekday Corporate Memberships at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. In the event a Weekday Corporate Membership is recalled by the Club within five years from the date the membership is issued, the Weekday Corporate Member will be refunded the amount of the initiation fee paid reduced by twenty percent (20%) for each year or portion thereof that the Weekday Corporate Membership was held by such member. (
Back to the Top)

Deduction of Amounts Owed
The Club will deduct from any amount to be repaid to the member any amount which the member owes the Club or the Company.(
Back to the Top)

Assurance of Completion of Club Facilities
Membership contributions and initiation fees will be held in escrow by a financial institution or other independent escrow agent pursuant to an Escrow Agreement for Membership Contributions and Initiation Fees (the "Escrow Agreement"). If the Club provides security ensuring completion of the Club Facilities or a refund of amounts paid in respect of a membership in the Club if the Club Facilities are not completed or if completion of the Club Facilities is otherwise assured, the escrow agent is authorized to release amounts held in escrow, all as more particularly provided in the Escrow Agreement. A copy of the Escrow Agreement will be available for review in the Membership Office. (
Back to the Top)

TRANSFER OF MEMBERSHIP

Transfer of Membership through Club

Members may resign and transfer their memberships only through the Club. Members who desire to resign their memberships must give the Club written notice to that effect. However, in the case of initially issued Equity Memberships, such memberships cannot be resigned unless and until the requisite dues have been paid with respect thereto and they have otherwise been in good standing for a period of at least five (5) years. Resignation of a member is irrevocable, unless otherwise determined by the Club. A member may not transfer or sell his or her membership to any person or entity. The Club will maintain a list of persons who desire to acquire membership in the Club and a resigned member's waiting list of Equity Members who want the Club to reissue their Equity Memberships. (
Back to the Top)

Transfer Upon Sale of Residence or Homesite
Equity Members who acquired their memberships within 60 days of closing on their property in the Community and Social Members may arrange for the Club to reissue their resigned memberships to the subsequent purchasers of their property in the Community, who are approved for membership and pay the then required membership contribution or initiation fee, without being subject to a waiting list. The subsequent purchaser desiring the resigned membership will be required to submit a Membership Application and a Membership Purchase Agreement, will be subject to the approval of the Club and will be required to pay the membership contribution or initiation fee which is then in effect. The subsequent purchaser must acquire the membership within 60 days of the real estate closing. The Club may offer installment payment plans for the membership contribution or initiation fee from time to time. The real estate purchase and sale agreement may provide whether the buyer will acquire the seller's resigned membership and if so, whether the buyer will pay for the membership in full at the time of joining the Club, or in installments. If the purchaser of the resigning Equity Member’s property who is acquiring the resigned Equity Membership pays the membership contribution in full, the Club will pay the refund to the resigning Equity Member in full within 30 days. If the purchaser pays the membership contribution in installments, the Club will pay the full amount of each installment to the resigned Equity Member when the Club receives installments from the purchaser until the resigned Equity Member has received his or her full refund. The Club shall retain all amounts in excess of the refund to be paid to the resigning Equity Member, subject to the provisions hereof. Resigned Equity Memberships which are not being reissued to a subsequent purchaser shall be placed on a resigned resale waiting list, as provided for hereinafter.

In the event the subsequent purchaser of an Equity Member's residence or homesite in the Community elects a category of membership which is available and which requires the payment of a membership contribution or initiation fee less than that paid by the resigning Equity Member, then the resigning Equity Member may elect to either (i) place his or her resigned Equity Membership on the waiting list, or (ii) receive the amount of the membership contribution or initiation fee paid by the subsequent purchaser of his or her residence or homesite in full satisfaction of the Club's refund obligation, in the same manner as set forth in this paragraph.(Back to the Top)

Transfer Through Waiting List
A resigned Equity Membership will be placed on a resale waiting list and will be reissued on a first-resigned, first-reissued basis as follows, unless the Equity Member arranges for the subsequent purchaser of his or her residence or homesite in the Community to acquire his or her membership:

(a) Every sixth Equity Membership issued (1 in 6) will be a resigned Equity Membership from the waiting list, provided there is a resigned Equity Membership on the waiting list. The other three memberships sold will be from the Club's unissued Equity Memberships. This procedure allows the reissuance of resigned Equity Memberships and payment of the refund of the membership contribution to the resigned Equity Member prior to the issuance of all Equity Memberships in the Club. The Club may offer installment payment plans for the membership contribution from time to time. Since new members may not pay the entire membership contribution at the time of joining the Club, all proceeds received by the Club from the reissuance of every such sixth Equity Membership shall be used by the Club to pay refunds to resigned Equity Members on the 1 in 6 waiting list on a first-resigned, first-repaid basis as follows:

The Club shall pay all such proceeds received from every sixth Equity Membership sold to the first person on the 1 in 6 waiting list until such person has been paid in full. The Club then shall pay all such proceeds to the second person on the waiting list until such person is paid in full. The Club then shall continue this process for each subsequent person on the 1 in 6 waiting list. Any amount not needed to pay such refunds will be kept by the Club.

(b) After the initial sale of all Equity Memberships, each Equity Membership sold will be a resigned Equity Membership from the waiting list and the Club shall apply the proceeds from every Equity Membership sold thereafter in the same manner as described above in this paragraph.

In the case of a resigned Founder Membership, a replacement Golf Membership will be issued.

There is no guarantee that an Equity Membership will ever be reissued, or reissued within a specified time period, because reissuance is dependent upon another person desiring an Equity Membership. The Company may, in its sole discretion, but is not required to, repurchase a resigned Equity Membership prior to another individual acquiring the resigned Equity Membership as provided hereafter.(Back to the Top)

Transfer to New Property Within Community
If a member who is a property owner in the Community purchases another residence or homesite from the Company, the membership can be transferred to the new residence or homesite. Additionally, the purchaser of the member's property in the Community can then acquire a reserved membership for the then current membership contribution or initiation fee from the Company, if one is available and the purchaser approved for membership. (
Back to the Top)

Transfer of Membership Upon Death of Member
Upon the death of a member, the membership will be transferred to the member's surviving spouse without the payment of any additional membership contribution or initiation fee. If there is no surviving spouse or the surviving spouse does not desire to continue the membership, the membership will be deemed to have been resigned, and in the case of an Equity Membership, will be reissued by the Club on the same basis as any other resigned Equity Membership.

As an exception to the general rule, an Equity Member has a one-time only right to pass the Equity Membership on to one adult child or grandchild upon the Equity Member's death, subject to approval of the adult child or grandchild for membership by the Club and payment of a transfer fee in an amount determined by the Club from time to time. In order to effectuate a transfer to an adult child or grandchild, the member's estate or surviving spouse, as the case may be, shall provide written notice to the Club requesting the transfer of the Equity Membership and setting forth the name of the adult child or grandchild. The transfer of the Equity Membership to an adult child or grandchild shall not be subject to any waiting lists.(Back to the Top)

Legal Separation or Divorce of Married Members
In the event of the divorce or separation of spouses having membership privileges, the membership, including all of its rights and benefits, will vest in the spouse awarded the membership by an agreement of separation or a decree of divorce. Until the award of the membership and written notice thereof is provided to the Club, both spouses will be jointly and severally liable for all dues and charges and may both continue to enjoy membership privileges so long as such amounts are timely paid. The Club reserves the right, in its sole discretion, not to transfer the membership to either spouse if the Club, in its sole discretion, is unable to determine the person who is lawfully entitled to receive the membership. In the case of divorce, if the Club has been unable to determine which spouse is legally entitled to the membership within six months after the date of the divorce decree, the membership shall automatically be deemed resigned.(

Weekday Golf Members will pay an amount equal to fifty (50%) of the assessment payable by Equity Members and Weekday Corporate Members shall pay an amount equal to three times the assessment amount payable by Weekday Members.

· Assessments for capital expenditures to the fitness and social facilities of the clubhouse shall be prorated equally among all members.

· Assessments for capital expenditures to the tennis and swimming facilities shall be prorated equally among all Social Members and those Equity Members who have elected to add on privileges to use the tennis and swimming facilities at the Club for the membership year that the assessment is imposed.(Back to the Top)
