MULTIPLE OWNERSHIPS 19.1 In this Clause "multi owner' means a person (individual or corporate) who himself or through any nominee, connected person, associated company or otherwise is the beneficial owner solely or jointly with any other person or persons of more than ten Holiday Certificates or is otherwise entitled to be registered as the holder of more than ten Holiday Certificates and 'multi ownership' shall be construed accordingly. In relation to any individual a 'connected person' is any of that individual's spouse parent child or any other lineal antecedent or descendent and any such antecedent or descendent of such spouse. In relation to any person an 'associated company' is an incorporated body which the Committee reasonably believes to be influenced or capable of being influenced in the carrying on of its day to day activities by such person by reason of his direct of indirect ownership of such incorporated body or any shares in it or any appointment of him as director or otherwise or by reason of the fact that both that person (itself being a company) and that incorporated body are directly or indirectly owned or controlled by any third party. In determining the question whether any person is or is not a multi owner the fact that the relative Holiday Certificates may or may not relate to the same suite shall be irrelevant. 19.2 This Clause 19 shall have effect and shall only have effect in any case of multi ownership. 19.3 Each member who is a multi owner shall at any meeting of the Club be entitled to one vote only irrespective of the number of Holiday Certificates held by such member and where a number of Holiday Certificates are in multi ownership and the respective registered holders of those certificates are two or more different persons then the Committee may (having sought to obtain agreement from such persons) direct which of them shall be entitled to exercise that vote. 19.4 Each member who is a multi owner(as defined in Clause 19.1) shall: (a) pay management expenses relative to all Holiday Certificates in respect of which he is the multi owner annually in advance based on the Committee's estimate of such expenses and with any short-fall or overpayment being paid or repaid following publication of the accounts for the year in question. (b) provide further security in respect of the management expenses relative to all such Holiday Certificates for the year following that in respect of which payment is due under Clause 19.4(a). Such security shall either be a cash deposit (with interest to the payer) or a UK clearing bank guarantee or other guarantee acceptable to the Committee in each case equal to or in respect of the Committee's estimate of the said management expenses. (c) provide the Club with written details (names and addresses) of all those using the relevant suites with the permission of or in the right of the member not less than 28 days prior to their arrival. (d) bring to the attention of such users all relevant rules and other matters relating to the occupation of the suites and associated facilities (in translation if appropriate) and with the information thus supplied being in a form previously approved by the Committee and (e) comply with such other matters as the Committee acting in the interests of the membership as a whole and with a view to maintaining the character and good standing of the Club shall deem appropriate. 19.5 If a Multi Owner fails to pay his contributions towards management expenses within 28 days of demand or fails to comply with the obligations contained in paragraphs 19.4(a) and (b) the Committee may forthwith and for so long as he shall remain in breach as aforesaid suspend his membership of the Club and all associated rights including of occupation and voting. 19.6 In determining whether any member or potential member is or will be a multi owner the Committee may require such person to provide such information or evidence as the Committee may reasonably require and any failure to provide such information or evidence shall render the person (if a member) liable to suspension from membership by the Committee. 19.7 If a multi owner or potential multi owner is or will be a multi owner by virtue of ownership through any nominee connected person associated company or otherwise then the Committee may request that all such ownership or potential ownership is consolidated into a single name and if such consolidation is not voluntarily effected then the Committee shall (following such consultation with the relevant owners as the Committee thinks reasonable and practicable) determine the identity of the person who shall for the purpose of this Constitution be the owner (and multi owner) of all relevant Holiday Certificates PROVIDED THAT nothing in this paragraph or this clause shall relieve any person from any contractual or other liability to the Club or any other person mentioned in this Constitution. 19.8 For the avoidance of doubt it is understood that this Clause 19 provides for the special category of "multi-owner" (as already defined). Nevertheless, the multi-owner shall in all other respects be treated as a member of the Club and be subject to the provisions of the Constitution as a whole save in respect of time for payment as provided in Clause 19.5. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Clause 19 and any other part of the Constitution then the Constitution shall take precedence. In particular, the power of suspension contained in Clause 19.5 shall be in addition to and not in substitution for the powers of suspension and cancellation otherwise provided in the Constitution and in particular Clauses 10.5.4., 10.7.1, 10.7.2, 10.7.3, and 10.7.4.
