set forth in section 2.1(c) hereof, Lender shall
advance to Borrower, and Borrower may borrow,

Period, as such term is hereafter defined,
principal under the Loan in an amount not to
exceed at any time the lesser of: (i) the amount

The Revolving Loan Period is shall mean the

or more Participants and to sell or grant to such
Participants participation interests in the Loan,
and in the respective Loan Documents, and in the
Collateral, on terms and conditions satisfactory,
in its sole and absolute discretion, to Lender.
In the event that Lender so designates a
Participant and sells or grants such Participant
a participation interest in the Loan, such
Participant shall communicate and deal only with
Lender in respect to such Participant's interest
in the Loan, the Loan Documents and the
Collateral, and Borrower shall communicate and
deal only with Lender and not with any
Participant. Borrower agrees to, diligently and
in good faith, cooperate with Lender in
connection with Lender's consummation and
administration of a written participation
agreement or agreements with one or more
Participants or their successors and assigns, and
in complying with the terms of any such
participation agreement, including with respect

and confirms that Lender's obligation to fund
Advances under the Loan is limited to a maximum
aggregate principal amount at any time of

Lender and Borrower acknowledge that Lender has
entered or will enter into written participation
agreements which provide for Participant's
fundings in respect of up to $25,000,000 of the
Initial Funding Commitment. With respect to
Advances under the Loan that would cause the
aggregate outstanding principal balance of the
Loan to exceed $50,000,000, Lender's obligation
to make any such Advances is subject to and
conditioned upon a Participant's providing
funding to Lender in support of such Advances;
and therefore, Advances in excess of $50,000,000
at any time shall be subject to and conditioned
upon a Participant providing incremental funds
over $50,000,000 to Lender pursuant to a written
participation agreement acceptable to Lender in
its sole and absolute discretion. Advances in
excess of the Initial Funding Commitment are
hereinafter referred to as the "ADDITIONAL
FUNDING COMMITMENT". The maximum amount of the
Additional Funding Commitment shall, subject to
Section 2.1(a) hereof, be $25,000,000.
Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to
procure one or more Participants to provide
funding for the Additional Funding Commitment,
and to use reasonable efforts to enter into and
maintain in good standing additional written
participation agreements satisfactory to Lender
in its sole and absolute discretion to the extent
necessary to provide for Advances up to the
maximum amount of the Additional Funding
Commitment, but in no event shall the total
outstanding principal balance of the Loan exceed
the amount determined in accordance with Section
2.1(a) hereof. If for any reason Lender does not
procure Participants for the Additional Funding
Commitment, or does procure such Participants but
does not enter into a written participation
agreement or agreements, acceptable to Lender in
its sole and absolute discretion, with any such
Participant for the Additional Funding
Commitment, or if such a participation agreement
is terminated, or if such a Participant fails to
fund to Lender its participation share of the
Loan as provided under its respective
participation agreement, then, notwithstanding
any provision in this Agreement, in the 1999
Commitment or in any Loan Document to the
contrary, Lender shall have no obligation to make
advances of principal under the Loans in excess
of $50,000,000 in the aggregate."

condemnation or insurance proceeds); (ii) upon the
conversion of the interest rate on the Loan to an interest
rate based on the Prime Rate in accordance with Section
2.6(b) hereof; (iii) as a consequence of the reduction of
any amounts received or receivable from Borrower, in
either case, due to the introduction of, or any change in,
law or applicable regulation or treaty (including the
administration or interpretation thereof), whether or not
having the force of law, or due to the compliance by
Lender or the Participant, as the case may be, with any
directive, whether or not having the force of law, or
request from any central bank or domestic or foreign
governmental authority, agency or instrumentality having
jurisdiction; (iv) as a consequence of the
12
13
breaking of any TLIBOR contract and/or (v) any other set
of circumstances not attributable to Lender's or a
Participant's acts. Payment of Funding Losses hereunder
shall be in addition to any obligation to pay any other
amounts due and owing under this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents.
(b) Conversion to Interest Rate Based on Prime Rate.
If Lender determines (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest
error) (i) that dollar deposits in an amount approximately
equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the
Loan are not generally available at such time in the
London Interbank Market for deposits in Eurodollars, (ii)
that the rate at which such deposits are being offered
will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender
or a Participant of maintaining the Interest Rate based on
LIBOR (or the portion of the Loan being funded by such
Participant), or of funding the same in such market for
such Interest Accrual Period, due to circumstances
affecting the London Interbank Market generally, (iii)
that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR,
(iv) that the Interest Rate based on LIBOR would be in
excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by
law pay, then, in any such event, or (v) any LIBOR
contract is broken as a result of the sale, pledge,
refinancing or securitization in bulk of Eligible Notes
Receivable relating to the Resorts by Borrower, Lender
shall so notify Borrower and, as of the date of such
notification with respect to an event described in clauses
(ii), (iv) or (v) above, or as of the expiration of the
applicable LIBOR Rate Period with respect to an event
described in clause (i) or (iii) above, interest shall
accrue at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus a sufficient
spread so that the resulting per annum interest rate is
approximately equal to what the rate would have been based
on LIBOR plus three percent (3.0%) per annum, which new
rate shall apply until such time as the situations
described above are no longer in effect, or as otherwise
provided herein; provided, however, if the situation
described in clause (ii) above occurs, (x) Borrower shall
have the option, to be exercised by written notice to
Lender, to pay Lender (in the manner reasonably required
by Lender) for such increased cost of maintaining the
Interest Rate based on LIBOR, and (y) if the same only
affects a portion of the Loan, then only such portion
shall have interest accrue at a rate equal to the Prime
Rate plus a sufficient spread so that the resulting per
annum interest rate is approximately equal to what the
rate would have been based on LIBOR plus three percent
(3.0%) per annum, and interest shall continue to accrue on
the remaining portion at the Interest Rate based on LIBOR.
(c) Back-Up Interest Rate Based on Prime Rate. If the
introduction of, or any change in, any law, regulation or
treaty, or in the interpretation thereof by any
governmental authority charged with the administration or
interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender
or any Participant to maintain the Interest Rate based on
LIBOR with respect to the Loan, or any portion thereof, or
to fund the Loan, or any portion thereof, in Eurodollars
in the London Interbank Market, then, (i) the Loan (or
such portion of the Loan) shall
13
14
thereafter bear interest shall accrue at a rate equal to
the Prime Rate plus a sufficient spread so that the
resulting per annum interest rate is approximately equal
to what the rate would have been based on LIBOR plus three
percent (3.0%) per annum (unless the Default Rate shall be
applicable), and (ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender the
amount of Funding Losses (if any) incurred in connection
with such conversion. The accrual of interest shall accrue
at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus a sufficient spread
so that the resulting per annum interest rate is
approximately equal to what the rate would have been based
on LIBOR plus three percent (3.0%) per annum, which new
rate shall continue until such date, if any, as the
situation described in this Section 2.6(c) is no longer in
effect.
(d) Capital Adequacy Events, Etc. If Lender or a
Participant, as the case may be, shall have determined
that the applicability of any law, rule, regulation or
guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of the July
1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations
and Supervisory Practices entitled "International
Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards",
or the adoption of any other law, rule, regulation or
guideline (including, but not limited to, any United
States law, rule, regulation or guideline) regarding
capital adequacy, or any change becoming effective in any
of the foregoing or in the enforcement or interpretation
or administration of any of the foregoing by any court or
any domestic or foreign governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the enforcement or
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by
Lender or its holding company or such Participant or its
holding company, as the case may be, with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central
bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on the capital of Lender,
Lender's holding company, such Participant or such
Participant's holding company, as the case may be, to a
level below that which Lender or its holding company or
the Participant or its holding company, as the case may
be, could have achieved but for such applicability,
adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration
Lender's or its holding company's or such Participant's or
its holding company's, as the case may be, policies with
respect to capital adequacy) (the foregoing being
hereinafter referred to as "CAPITAL ADEQUACY EVENTS"),
then, upon demand by Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender,
from time to time, such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate Lender or such Participant for any such
reduction suffered.
(e) Payment of Amounts Due under Section 2.6. Any
amount payable by Borrower under Section 2.6(a) or 2.6(d)
hereof shall be paid to Lender within five (5) days of
receipt by Borrower of a certificate signed by an officer
of Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for
the determination of such amount, which statement shall be
conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest
error. Failure on the part of Lender to demand payment
from Borrower for any such amount attributable to any
particular period shall not constitute a
14
15
waiver of Lender's right to demand payment of such amount
for any subsequent or prior period. Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrower prompt notice of
any event described in Sections 2.6(a) or 2.6(d) hereof
and of the amount to be paid under this Section 2.6(e) as
a result thereof; provided, however, any failure by Lender
to so notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower's
obligation to make the payments to be made under this
Section 2.6(e) as a result thereof. All amounts which may
become due and payable by Borrower in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 2.6(e) shall constitute
additional interest hereunder and shall be secured by this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents."
35. COMMITMENT FEE. Section 2 (The Loan) of the Agreement is hereby amended in
part to add the following new Section 2.7 as follows:
"2.7 COMMITMENT FEE. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and
agree that the Commitment Fees due and owing by the
Borrower to the Lender with respect to the Original
Commitment, the 1995 Commitment and the 1996 Commitment
have been paid by the Borrower. Borrower has paid to
Lender the sum of $20,000, constituting a portion of 1999
Commitment Fee of $750,000. Borrower shall pay an
additional $480,000 of the 1999 Commitment on the date of
the Third Amendment. As agreed by Lender and Borrower,
payment of the remaining $250,000 of the Commitment Fee or
pro rata portion thereof (the "ADDITIONAL FUNDING
COMMITMENT FEE"), is deferred until such time as Lender
enters into written participation agreements, in form and
substance acceptable to Lender in its sole and absolute
discretion, with Participants providing for Participant's
funding commitments in respect of the Additional Funding
Commitment. Subject only to the foregoing condition
regarding $250,000 of the Commitment Fee, Borrower agrees
that, in addition to other commitment fees earned by
Lender, Lender has earned the entire Commitment Fee with
respect to the 1999 Commitment, notwithstanding whether a
closing occurs under this Agreement with respect to the
1999 Commitment or whether the Loan or any portion thereof
is funded."
36. ADDITIONAL ELIGIBLE RESORT. Section 2 (The Loan) of the Agreement is hereby
amended in part to add the following new Section 2.8 as follows:
"2.8 ADDITIONAL ELIGIBLE RESORT. From time to time during
the Term, Borrower may propose to Lender that one or more

satisfaction of the conditions in Sections 4 and 5 hereof
as they relate to such additional time-share resorts,
Lender may, but shall not be required to, approve one or
more such additional time-share resorts, including future
phases or condominiums in an Existing Eligible Resort, as
an Eligible Resort qualifying for Advances under and
subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
Subject in each instance to Lender's and each
Participant's acceptable underwriting and due diligence
review, and Lender's prior written approval, any project
as may be approved by Lender after the Closing Date, if
any, is hereinafter referred to as an "ADDITIONAL ELIGIBLE
RESORT". Any Advances hereunder with respect to any
Additional Eligible Resort will be subject to all terms an
conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan

not have a first and prior perfected lien and
security interest covering any portion of the
Collateral.

determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good
faith, are immaterial due to settlement, insurance

Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Advance if
it determines that any such litigation is pending.

deliver to Lender, at Borrower's sole cost and
expense, such opinions of counsel, including counsel

agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to

expire no earlier April 1, 2009. With respect to each
Crown Resort only, each such Resort may qualify as an

by Borrower of the conditions set forth in this
Section 4.6), so long the Borrower, or an Affiliate,
is the manager or operator of each such Resort,
pursuant to a written management or operating
agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to
Lender. Borrower agrees to provide an estoppel
