July 19, 2010

Dear Owners,

The recreational facilities and campground amenities here at Cloud 9 Ranch Club, Inc.,
are designed for the enjoyment, convenience and entertainment of Ranch Owners and
their guests. As with any social organization, rules are necessary and designed to
safeguard the individual rights of each Owner. A description of our facilities is also
included so each of you may attain the maximum enjoyment and use of all Cloud 9 Ranch
has to offer.

It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to establish these rules and set applicable
fees as necessary. A current Fee Schedule may be obtained at various locations on the
Ranch or visit our official website and print a copy (www.cloud9ranchclub.com).

In an effort to produce a more concise and readable product, this Rulebook has been
redesigned with that in mind. Whether you are a new Owner, or have been here since
Cloud 9 Ranch was established, we recommend your taking the time to read through this
REVISED (6/19/2010)* set of rules and directives.

Thank you,

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Cloud 9 Ranch Club, Inc.

*Any Rule Book revisions prior to this date are replaced and no longer in effect.

3. CAMPSITE OCCUPANCY INFORMATION. The entire Ranch complex and property (6,358 acres) is
designed for use by Owners for camping and outdoor recreational activities, with the exception of certain
restricted areas used for management and maintenance of the Ranch’s buildings, assets and amenities. Full
hook-ups are available in six separate campgrounds: Lonesome Pine, Fogey Hollow, Melody Lane, and
Powder Mill; Wilder I & II is considered one campground; Hill Country & Annex is considered one
campground. Lonesome Pine is equipped with all 50 amp electrical service, while the other campgrounds
are mainly 30 amp electrical service with a few 50 amp boxes in each campground. Rangers and
Camphosts will assist if special needs are required for a pad location. Owners have no limitation as to the
duration of any stay on the Ranch. However, there are limitations as to the length of stay on a pad
location. The following is a list of general information concerning campsite occupancy regulations:

A. 30 Day Pad Occupancy: Most pad locations in each campground are specified as 30 day pads. Owner
is required to vacate and move all equipment every thirty (30) days to a different campground, regardless
of the number of memberships owned, and may not return to the previous campground for a period of four
days. Owner may not occupy the same pad location between October 1st and the 3rd Monday of September
the following year. The only exception involves vacating a pad and leaving the Ranch for a minimum of 96
hours (checking out). Owner may then return to a previous pad location during the time specified above.
The maximum leave time is seventy-two (72) hours, unless approved in writing by Ranch Management.

B. Extended Usage Campsites (60 Day Pad Occupancy): In an effort to enable an Owner to leave their RV
on a pad location when checked out and off the Ranch longer than the 72-hour leave limitation, the Ranch
has established 53 pad locations for extended usage (listed below). There is no limitation to the number of
days an RV parked on these pad locations may be left unattended. On the 60 th day of occupancy,
however, Owner must make arrangements for the RV to be moved regardless of the number memberships
owned. Owner exercising the right to leave an RV unoccupied on an extended usage pad, agrees to the
following:

*No extended leave between 5 days before and 5 days after any of the three summer holiday weekends.
*An additional usage fee of $2.00 per day will be assessed after the initial 72 hours after check-out.

Extended usage pads have bright orange paint markings on the electrical box. The number of 60 Day
pads and their pad number in the following campgrounds are:
* FOGEY HOLLOW (13): Pad # 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 38, 39, 40

C. Winter No-Move Occupancy: Owners who choose to stay on the Ranch and occupy a pad location
throughout the winter months (from October 1st through April 15th of the following year) may occupy a pad
in one of the two campgrounds designated for winter use, Hill Country or Powder Mill. If an Owner
occupies a pad location in either of these two campgrounds on October 1st and has not exceeded their 30
day usage of that pad, they may remain on that pad until April 15th of the following year, or at a time
designated by Ranch Management. A maximum 20-day leave rule applies to all Winter No-Move pads.

concerns in the campground. Transportation vehicles and one (1) flatbed trailer are permitted on a
campsite (no enclosed cargo trailers). Occupancy at any pad location/campsite is limited to a
maximum of twelve (12) persons unless stated otherwise herein (See Rental limitations,
Section I below). And owner is required to move from that pad location.

E. An RV unit removed from a compound may not be placed on a pad more than 12 hours prior to
occupancy by an Owner and must be returned to a compound the day Owner checks out, unless approved

before taking leave. Leave from a 30-day pad may then be taken for a period not to exceed 72 hours (no
limit on length of leave on 60-day pads – Section 3(B)). All leave starts at Midnight on the day you leave,
and end’s at midnight on the day you return. Penalty: Violation of any part of this Rule will result
in a $25 per day penalty fee assessed against Owner for each day or part of a day Owner does
not occupy or is late returning from a scheduled leave.

H. Reserving Pad Locations: Campsites are on a first-come, first-serve basis and reserving of a pad for an
unregistered Owner is prohibited. However, if a registered Owner on a pad locates an unoccupied
campsite and desires to move to that campsite, a chair may be placed on the concrete pad for a
maximum of two (2) hours for the specific purpose of providing Owner time to move to that pad
location. This option is restricted for use by an Owner already registered on a pad location wishing to
move to another location ONLY.
