| Hutchinson: | "Kevin, am I correct in saying that you will be the new General Manager of SuperClubs' newest resort to be known as Hedonism III?" |
| Levee: | "That is correct and I am looking forward to the challenge of being the first General Manager of this outstanding new resort. I consider it a real honor to have been selected for this position." |
| Hutchinson: | "Am I correct in saying that the resort will be named Hedonism III?" |
| Levee: | "Both of the Hedonism resorts will be marketed under the Hedonism properties name; using probably a common brochure. To my knowledge, yes, the resort we are speaking of will be known as Hedonism III" |
| Hutchinson: | "How many units will Hedonism III have?" |
| Levee: | "225 units. 27 of them will be suites." |
| Hutchinson: | "How many categories of rooms should we expect?" |

| Levee: | "There will be 'au naturel' pools, hot tubs, snack bar, and beach." |

| Levee: | "There will be the Terrace Buffet, a Jamaican Restaurant, a Japanese Restaurant, and an Italian Restaurant." |
| Hutchinson: | "What will be the dress code in the restaurants that require reservations?" |
| Levee: | "It will be about the same as is now required at Hedonism II in the Pastafari Restaurant, more or less 'casual elegant.' " |
| Hutchinson: | "Will Hedonism III have a full water sports department?" |
| Levee: | "Yes, and some of the best diving in Jamaica is right off the shore of the resort!" |

| Levee: | "The plans are that there will be a pajama party, a toga night, and nightly entertainment similar to Hedonism II, but it may not be the same nightly schedule." |
| Hutchinson: | "Am I correct in saying the resort is about 1 and 1/2 hours from East of Montego Bay (toward Ocho Rios)? And it is about 25 minutes from the resort to Dunn's River Falls?" |
| Levee: | "Yes, those are the approximate travel times." |
| Hutchinson: | "We are being asked about the pricing structure, could you give us an idea of what to expect?" |
| Levee: | "This is a question that I can not answer at this time. My expectations are that the rates will be about 20% above existing Hedonism II rack rates." |
| Hutchinson: | "Could you tell us when we can expect rates and can start taking reservations, assuming a September 1999 opening?" |
| Levee: | "This I can not answer at this time. I will certainly let Go Classy Tours know just as soon as everything is finalized." |
| Hutchinson: | "Kevin, on behalf of Go Classy Tours, I certainly appreciate you taking the time from your very busy schedule to grant this interview. We at Go Classy Tours look forward to working just as closely with you at Hedonism III as we have at Hedonism II. Congratulations on being named the General Manager of Hedonism III !" |
