If the Club elects to withhold amounts owed to an owners’ association, the Club shall promptly pay over such amount to such association. The Club shall have the right to rely upon the written statement of the manager of the applicable owners’ association in determining what amounts, if any, the members owes to the association. So long as the Club has such a written statement from the applicable association, the Club shall have no liability for wrongful withholding, even if it is later determined that the claimed arrearage was invalid. No member shall have any right to directly challenge the Club’s withholding of association arrearages; any such challenge shall be limited to actions between the member and the applicable association in accordance with the association’s governing documents and applicable law. E. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ACQUIRING A MEMBERSHIP The Club makes no representations and expresses no opinions regarding the federal, state or local income tax consequences of acquiring a membership or with respect to any membership deposits paid to the Club. All persons acquire their membership subject to all applicable tax laws, as the same may be amended from time to time. Accordingly, members should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of any membership deposits. VIII.
TRANSFER OF MEMBERSHIP
A. TRANSFER OF MEMBERSHIP BY NON-MANDATORY MEMBERS A Non-Mandatory Member may transfer his or her membership only to the Club by resigning the membership and arranging for the Club to reissue the membership. Should a Non-Mandatory Member desire to resign from the Club, the member shall be required to give written notice to the Club. Resignation by a Non-Mandatory Member is irrevocable, unless otherwise determined by the Club. Memberships that are resigned by Non-Mandatory Members will be placed on a waiting list by category of membership for reissuance on a first-resigned, first-reissued basis as provided below. Prior to the initial sale of all memberships within a membership category, every fourth membership issued in that category (one in four) will be a resigned membership from the waiting list, provided there is a resigned membership on the waiting list. The other three memberships sold will be from the Club's unissued memberships. After the initial sale of all memberships within a membership category, each membership sold in that category will be a resigned membership from the waiting list. B. TRANSFER OF MEMBERSHIP UPON SALE OF PROPERTY A member who sells his or her property in Pronghorn must resign his or her membership in connection with the sale and the prospective purchaser shall be required to complete the application process prior to the close of escrow on the property. If available, the member selling their property may have the option to convert to a Non-Resident Membership at the sole discretion of the Club. Subject to being approved for membership in the Club, excluding Premier Resident Golf and Signature Resident Golf, the subsequent purchaser of the resigning member's property in
10
Pronghorn must become a member of the Club upon the closing on the property purchase. The subsequent purchaser must submit a Membership Application and Agreement prior to close of escrow and, if approved for membership, pay the applicable membership deposit at the close of escrow. Upon the close of escrow the Club will reissue the resigning member's membership to the subsequent purchaser. Subsequently, the selling member will receive a refund of the membership deposit (less any amounts owed to the Club) originally paid by or on behalf of the selling member as provided herein and in the Membership Application and Agreement. The selling member understands that there may be a greater membership deposit required to be paid by the subsequent purchaser at the time of the transfer. It is the member’s obligation to be aware of the current membership deposit being charged by the Club from time to time. Upon the sale of a Premier Resident Golf or Signature Resident Golf Member's shared interest in the Residence Club, the member may (as an alternative to resigning the membership and having it placed on the wait list for reissuance) arrange for the Club to reissue the member's membership to the subsequent purchaser of the shared interest regardless of whether all of the memberships in the given category have been issued and regardless of whether there are any resigned memberships in that category on the waiting list. The subsequent purchaser desiring the resigned membership must submit a Membership Application and Agreement, be approved for membership, and pay the required membership deposit for the category in question. In the event the subsequent purchaser of interest in The Residence Club does not elect to purchase the membership or is not approved for membership, the membership must be resigned upon the sale of the member’s shared interest in the Residence Club and placed on the resale wait list for reissuance as provided above. C. LEGAL SEPARATION OR DIVORCE 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 both may 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 Mandatory Members and purchasers of shared interests in the Residence Club, the membership must vest in the spouse awarded the home, villa, homesite or shared interest in the Residence Club, as the case may be, in Pronghorn. D. TRANSFER OF MEMBERSHIP TO FAMILY MEMBER A member, other than a National Member, can request the transfer of his or her membership to an adult child or grandchild who is approved for membership in the Club without the payment of any additional membership deposit. The adult child or grandchild to whom a membership is to be transferred under this provision must become the new owner of the member’s property in Pronghorn. In order to effectuate a transfer to an adult child or grandchild, the member shall resign the membership and the Club shall pay to the member the membership deposit previously paid by the member for the membership. The adult child or grandchild will then purchase the membership from the Club at the same membership deposit that was previously paid by the member. A new 30-year period for the refund of the membership deposit shall commence for the adult child or grandchild. Only one transfer of the membership to an adult child or grandchild
11
shall be permitted. The transfer of the membership to an adult child or grandchild shall not be subject to any waiting lists. E. TRANSFER OF MEMBERSHIP UPON THE DEATH OF A MEMBER Upon the death of a member that owns property in Pronghorn, the surviving spouse, if any, may elect to: (i) continue the membership privileges without having to pay any additional membership deposit; or (ii) designate one adult child or grandchild to acquire the membership, subject to the approval of the adult child or grandchild for membership in the Club, by giving written notice to the Club within 60 days after the death of the member. Failure of the surviving spouse to elect one of said alternatives within the prescribed time period shall be deemed an election to continue the membership privileges. If there is no surviving spouse, and the deceased member has not designated one adult child or grandchild as the beneficiary of the membership, the children of the member may designate one adult child or grandchild to acquire the membership, subject to the approval of the Club. In the event the deceased member owned property in Pronghorn, in order for the membership to be transferred as provided above, the transferee must acquire title to the property in question. In the case where the membership is transferred to an adult child or grandchild, the deceased member's estate shall resign the membership to the Club. The Club will repay the deceased member's estate the membership deposit previously paid by the deceased member. The deceased member's adult child or grandchild will then acquire the deceased member's membership from the Club upon payment of the then-current membership deposit. The adult child or grandchild's membership shall be considered to be a resale acquisition of the membership, and a new 30-year period for repayment of the adult child or grandchild's membership deposit shall commence. The transfer of the membership to an adult child or grandchild shall not be subject to any waiting lists. Nothing herein is intended to give National Members or any level of non-resident membership the right to transfer the membership upon the death of such member. IX.
DUES AND CHARGES
A. DUES, FEES AND CHARGES The Club will determine the amount of dues, fees and charges to be payable by members each year. Dues shall be payable on a monthly basis, unless otherwise determined by the Club from time to time. The current dues, fees and charges for use of the Club Facilities are indicated on the Schedule of Dues, Fees and Charges available at the Club upon request and as posted from time to time. The amount of dues, fees and other charges is subject to change from time to time by the Club and will not increase by more than ten percent (10%) over the prior year's dues. If, for any reason, a membership has been terminated by the Club and the related membership deposit has been forfeited, then after the date of termination, no Club dues will be charged to the member or any bank or financial institution that has taken title to the property through a foreclosure process. Dues will resume when the property is transferred to an owner who becomes a member by payment of the then-applicable membership deposit, approval of the buyer for membership in the Club and compliance with all other terms and conditions of this Membership Plan and all documents referenced herein.
12
B. NO ASSESSMENTS AGAINST MEMBERS Members will only pay membership dues, fees and other charges established from time to time. Members will not be subject to any liability for capital or operating assessments for the costs and expenses of ownership or operation of the Club or the Club Facilities. The Company will pay all operating deficits incurred in the operation of the Club Facilities and will retain all operating revenues resulting from operation of the Club Facilities. Annual increases in dues shall not be deemed an assessment for purposes of this provision. The budget and the calculation of the dues may include a reserve for capital replacements and improvements, and this shall not be deemed an assessment for purposes of this provision. C. MEMBERSHIP YEAR OF THE CLUB The Club's membership year will constitute the 12-month period commencing January 1 and ending December 31, unless otherwise established by the Club from time to time. D. PAYMENT OF DUES BY A RESIGNED NON-MANDATORY MEMBER A resigned Non-Mandatory Member shall be obligated to continue to pay dues, fees and other charges associated with the resigned membership until the earlier of (i) the reissuance of the membership by the Club or (ii) 12 months after the resignation occurs. A resigned NonMandatory Member shall be permitted to use the Club Facilities as long as the dues, fees and other charges continue to be paid by the resigned member. In the event that there are any amounts owing to the Club by a resigned member which are past due, the Club reserves the right to move the resigned membership to the bottom of the reissuance waiting list until such amounts have been paid in full. E. PRORATED DUES AND FEES UPON REISSUANCE OF MEMBERSHIP If a membership is reissued during a membership year, the resigned member shall be entitled to a refund of a pro rata portion of any dues and other fees paid in advance for which services have yet to be rendered.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF MEMBERSHIP RIGHTS
A. MEMBERS' ACKNOWLEDGMENT Membership in the Club permits the member to use the Club Facilities in accordance with this Membership Plan and the Rules and Regulations. Membership in the Club is not an investment in the Company or the Club Facilities and does not give a member a vested or prescriptive right or easement to use the Club Facilities.

A member only acquires a revocable license to use the Club Facilities in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Membership Documents, as the same may be amended from time to time. All rights and privileges of members under this Membership Plan, the Rules and Regulations and the Membership Agreement, are subordinate to the lien of any mortgage encumbering the Club Facilities from time to time.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Club may not change the following two provisions retroactively for members of the Club as of the effective date of the proposed change to such provision: (i) the provision for a member's right to a refund of his or her membership deposit, and (ii) the provision for a member to arrange for the membership to be transferred by the Club to the subsequent purchaser of his or her property at Pronghorn in accordance with the "Transfer of Membership" section of this Membership Plan. In the event of termination of the Membership Plan, termination of a person's category of membership, or the discontinuance of operation of all or substantially all of the Club Facilities, the Club will refund the membership deposit to the affected member(s) within 30 days. In the event that the Club Facilities are sold and the buyer assumes liability for the repayment of the appropriate membership deposit as provided in the Membership Agreement, the member shall look solely to the new owner for repayment of the membership deposit, and the seller of the Club Facilities, other than in a foreclosure sale, shall be released from all liability for the repayment thereof. In the event of a sale of the Club Facilities, the buyer shall take title subject to the terms and provisions of the then-existing Membership Plan. Neither the Company nor its affiliates shall have any liability whatsoever to the members in the event the Club Facilities are not constructed, other than the return of the member's membership deposit, without interest.
