Task Force Training

For the final part of our required initial training program, we will provide to you a task force to assist in onsite pre-opening training for the Resort to occur approximately 30 days prior to opening. That task force may include personnel employed directly by us or personnel from existing Camp Margaritaville Resorts or other Margaritaville-branded venues. We will be responsible for any costs associated with our personnel, while you will be responsible for any other costs relating to the task force, including costs related to personnel from existing Camp Margaritaville Resorts or other Margaritaville-branded venues. The task force takes place on dates and times mutually agreed upon by you and us. The task force training typically lasts between 10 to 14 days, although we may (at our option) conduct this training on more than one visit. There is no fee for the training by the task force, but you will cover the expenses for our personnel to provide the training. Further, if you are not able to demonstrate compliance with our System Standards, as determined in our sole discretion, after 14 days of training at your Resort, then our trainers may stay longer until you are able to demonstrate compliance with our System Standards, as determined in our sole discretion. In such event, you will be required to pay $500 per day per trainer for each additional day they remain until you become compliant with System Standards, in addition to the task force's additional expenses associated with their extended stay. There is no set outline for this on-the-job training. The task force will generally focus on training personnel on the System Standards and service consistent with the Camp Margaritaville System.

Other Initial Training Programs

We also currently offer additional initial training for various members of your Resort's staff after the Resort opens. These additional training opportunities may include personnel employed directly by us or personnel from existing Camp Margaritaville Resorts or other Margaritaville-branded venues providing training to your personnel onsite. You will be responsible for all costs related to this additional training, including lodging and per diem for the training personnel. We estimate that these costs will typically be between $1,000 to $5,000 per instance, but could be more depending on breadth of support that you require.

If any member of the Resort's Key Personnel ceases to hold that position, you (or the approved management company) must have his or her replacement attend and successfully complete the applicable brand standard training programs that we reasonably specify, some of which we describe above, within 90 days (or a longer period we periodically designate) after assuming his or her position. We may charge fees for this training, and you must pay all travel and living expenses. If we determine that any Resort personnel have failed to satisfactorily complete any training program, you (or the approved management company) must immediately hire a substitute and promptly arrange for that person to complete training to our satisfaction.
