<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>FORM OF CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AGREEMENT by and between Sea Pines Associates, Inc., a South Carolina
corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), and
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(the &#147;Executive&#148;), dated
as of
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, any potential Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company
would create substantial uncertainty and anxiety among key executives
concerning the possibility of adverse changes in position or loss of
employment; and


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, that uncertainty and anxiety would inevitably detract from the
performance of the executive team and increase the risk of unwanted loss of key
executives; and


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the &#147;Board&#148;) has
determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders
to reduce the risk of those adverse consequences, and has adopted appropriate
policies aimed at safeguarding the economic interests of key executives and the
shareholders in the event of a Change of Control; and


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS, a Change of Control Agreement is to be executed with each key
executive covered by these policies;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;Certain Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms
shall have the meanings set forth below:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&#147;AFR&#148; shall mean the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section
7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&#147;Board&#148; shall have the meaning set forth in the recitals to this
Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&#147;Business Combination&#148; shall have the meaning set forth in Section
1(e)(iii).

conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to
the Company. For purposes of this provision, no act, or failure to act, on the
part of the Executive shall be considered &#147;willful&#148; unless it is done, or
omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief
that the Executive&#146;s action or omission was in the best interests of the
Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a
resolution duly adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of a senior
officer of the Company who is senior to the Executive or based upon the advice
of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or
omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of
the Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed
to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the
Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not
less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of
the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided
to the

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;Obligations of the Company upon Termination. (a)&nbsp;Good Reason; Without

to Section&nbsp;8(f), shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as
the Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company.

to receive under any pension, profit sharing, 401(k), supplemental executive

explicitly modified by this Agreement.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;Full Settlement. The Company&#146;s obligation to make the payments
provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations
hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the
Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek
other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts
payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and,
except as specifically provided herein, such amounts shall not be reduced
whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. In the event of any
contest by the Company or the Executive of the validity or enforceability of,
or liability under, any provision of this Agreement (including as a result of
any contest about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), the
nonprevailing party shall reimburse the prevailing party for the prevailing
party&#146;s legal fees and expenses, plus in each case interest at the AFR on the
amount reimbursed for the period during which the prevailing party had paid but
not been reimbursed for such legal fees and expenses.

capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information,
knowledge or data relating to the Company which shall have been obtained by the
Executive during the Executive&#146;s employment by the Company and which shall not
be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or
representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement). After
termination of the Executive&#146;s employment with the Company, the Executive shall
not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be
required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information,
knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by the
Company. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this
Section&nbsp;6 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise
payable to the Executive under this Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The Executive agrees and acknowledges that a violation of the
covenants contained in this Section&nbsp;6 will cause irreparable damage to the
Company, and that it is and will be impossible to estimate or determine the
damage that will be suffered by the Company in the event of a breach by the
Executive of any such covenant. Therefore, the Executive further agrees
that in the event of any violation or threatened violation of such covenants,
the Company shall be entitled as a matter of course to an injunction issued by
any court of competent jurisdiction restraining such violation or threatened
violation by the Executive, such right to an injunction to be cumulative and in
addition to whatever other remedies the Company may have.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.&nbsp;Successors. (a)&nbsp;This Agreement is personal to the Executive and
without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the
Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive&#146;s
legal representatives.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
