Summer 2003: Marc Resorts Hawaii, one of Hawaii's largest hotel and resort condominium management companies,
has entered into an affiliation with Arizona-based Discover Resorts International. Under this unique agreement,
Discover Resorts will supplement the sales and marketing efforts of Marc Resorts' condominium accommodations.
Marc Resorts will remain directly responsible for its properties' management and operations.
The affiliation marks Discover Resorts International's first major presence in Hawaii's hotel industry. This leading
resort rental management and marketing company features high-quality rental homes and condominiums in Arizona,

and an aggressive website, offering the latest in advanced technology with an instantaneous worldwide link to all
properties in the Discover Resorts system. This system will now include the 14 Marc Resorts properties

tremendous potential," said Jim Kempski, executive vice president of Discover Resorts International. "This new
