                  CENTRE SITE SUBLEASE



                  The  Centurion  Park  land  is  owned  by  North  Tyneside  Council  (also  the  planning
                  authority) with a (now) 71 years long lease to Keeping Inn Ltd (Subsidiary of STR group),
                  currently in renegotiation with the Council to be increased up to 120 years. The Council
                  has agreed to a sublease to HNL of the land required for the Centre and associated car
                  parking needs.

                  HNL and STR have agreed heads of terms for the sublease of the 11-acre site to HNL,
                  initially for 71 years and then rising to 120 years once the new Council lease is agreed.
                  The sublease tracks the terms of the Council lease, allowing for the development and
                  operation of the Centre. It has no abnormal or onerous conditions. The lease will be
                  granted for a premium of £1m payable on financial close. A rent is also payable at the
                  greater of £80k pa and 1.5% of net total Centre revenue, subject to a maximum of £120k
                  pa. The £80k rent minimum is indexed annually to RPI. In addition to the sublease, STR
                  will grant to HNL an option to acquire Centurion Park Golf Club and the course, in the
                  event that it decides to dispose of it. Hot Shots will also have an option to acquire the
