•

the merger exchange ratio was determined by dividing $24.00 by $18.357, which is the average of the closing sales prices of CD Common Stock for the ten consecutive NYSE trading days ending on (and including) the second trading day immediately prior to (and excluding) the date that the registration statement relating to this prospectus became effective, May 21, 2002;

•

in the event that this ten-day trailing “average Cendant merger trading price” had been greater than $18.50, then the merger exchange ratio would have been equal to 1.2973;

•

because the average Cendant merger trading price is between $16.15 and $18.50, the merger exchange ratio is equal to the quotient of $24.00 divided by the average Cendant merger trading price and is between 1.2973 and 1.4861;

•

in the event that the average Cendant merger trading price had been less than $16.15 but greater than or equal to $13.50, then the merger exchange ratio would have been equal to 1.4861; and

•

in the event that the average Cendant merger trading price had been less than $13.50, then the exchange ratio would not be capped at 1.4861, but would have been equal to the quotient of $20.062 divided by the average Cendant merger trading price.

     (e) Any representation or statement qualified with reference to a person's
     knowledge, intention, or any similar expression is correct without such
     qualification;

     (f) The Transaction Documents and the Tax Representation Letters reflect
     all the material facts relating to the Transaction; and

     (g) The Merger will qualify as a statutory merger under the laws of the
     State of Oregon.

     In connection with preparing our opinion, we have had to consider whether
"substantially all" of the Company's assets, and "substantially all" of Merger
Sub's assets, will be held by the Company after the Merger within the meaning of
Section 368(a)(2)(E)(i) of the Code. For the Internal Revenue Service's advance
ruling purposes, the "substantially all" requirement of Section 368(a)(2)(E)(i)
is satisfied if there is a retention

     of assets representing at least 90 percent of the fair market value of the
     net assets and at least 70 percent of the fair market value of the gross
     assets held by the corporation immediately prior to the transfer. All
     payments to dissenters and all redemptions and distributions (except for
     regular, normal distributions) made by the corporation immediately
     preceding the transfer and which are part of the plan of reorganization
     will be considered as assets held by the corporation immediately prior to
     the transfer.

Rev. Proc. 77-37, 1977-2 C.B. 568. Neither the Code nor the corresponding
Treasury Regulations define the term "net assets" for purposes of applying the
"substantially all" requirement. We believe, for purposes of the "substantially
all" requirement, that "net assets" means gross assets less liabilities.

     Pursuant to the Transaction Documents, all of the stock of Trendwest
Investments, Inc. ("TII"), certain other subsidiaries of the Company and certain
other assets of the Company related to MountainStar (collectively, the
"MountainStar Assets") will be distributed to Majority Shareholder in exchange
for shares of Company stock owned by Majority Shareholder (the "MountainStar
Redemption"). The Merger Agreement provides that, if the value of Parent Common
Stock is less than ten dollars per share on the Merger Closing Date, the
MountainStar Redemption shall be subject to Cancellation.

     Prior to the MountainStar Redemption, TII will assume the remaining
outstanding balance of approximately $13.3 million on a promissory note in the
original principal amount of $17,731,000 made by the Company to Majority
Shareholder in connection with the purchase by the Company of TII from Majority
Shareholder ("Purchase Note"). In addition, prior to the MountainStar
Redemption, approximately $18.7 million of advances made by the Company to TII
to fund capital expenditures made with respect to the MountainStar development
will be reflected in a promissory note made by TII to the Company ("Intercompany
Note"). Under the Merger Agreement, the Intercompany Note must be fully

paid shortly after consummation of the Merger. There is no published authority
as to what types of liabilities are to be included in calculating the "net
asset" value of any asset for purposes of the "substantially all" requirement of
Section 368(a)(2)(E)(i). However, we believe that the Purchase Note and the
Intercompany Note, because they reduce the net value of the MountainStar Assets
distributed to Majority Shareholder, should be taken into account in determining
the "net asset" value of the MountainStar Assets for purposes of the
"substantially all" requirement.

     Further, in examining whether the surviving corporation will hold less than
substantially all of the Company's pre-Transaction assets as a result of the
MountainStar Redemption, we have relied on the preliminary report of a review of
current land valuation for the land holdings associated with the
MountainStar/UGA Project prepared by Economics Research Associates and dated as
of March 26, 2002 ("MountainStar Appraisal"). While this is only a preliminary
report, we have assumed that the final report will conclude that the value of
the MountainStar Assets is no greater than that in the preliminary report. We
have also relied on an analysis, prepared by Banc of America Securities LLC,
that shows that the appraised value of the MountainStar Assets, as reduced by
the Promissory Note and the Intercompany Note, will remain less than ten percent
of the value of the Parent Common Stock to be delivered in the Stock Purchase
and the Merger as long as the Parent Common Stock is worth at least ten dollars
per share. We have assumed, without independent investigation, that the
conclusions of both this analysis and the MountainStar Appraisal are correct.

     Based on our examination of the foregoing items and subject to the
limitations, qualifications, and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the
opinion that the Transaction will be treated for federal income tax purposes as
a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and each of
Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will be a party to that reorganization within
the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code, if the Stock Purchase and the Merger
are completed under the current terms of the Merger Agreement.

     This opinion is limited to the federal income tax consequences of the Stock
Purchase and the Merger and does not address the various state, local, or
foreign tax consequences that may result from the Stock Purchase and the Merger
or the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

     This opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court of
law, administrative agency or other governmental body and represents only our
best judgment as to the likely outcome if the federal income tax consequences of
the Stock Purchase and the Merger were properly presented to a court of
competent jurisdiction. Our conclusions are based on the Code, existing judicial
decisions, administrative regulations, and published rulings as in effect on the
date hereof. No assurance can be given that future legislative, judicial, or
administrative changes or interpretations will not adversely affect the accuracy
of our conclusions. Nevertheless, by rendering this opinion, we undertake no
responsibility to
