to the sum of (a) an amount ("Basic Retainage") equal to the percentage
identified in the Schedule as the Basic Retainage Percentage times the hard
costs of such work and (b) any additional retainage in excess of the amount of
the Basic Retainage required under the applicable Construction Work Contract(s);
provided, however, that Construction Work-Related Advances shall not be made for
stored or ordered materials not yet incorporated into the Construction

applicable Construction Work Contract(s) between Borrower and such Construction
Work Contractor(s), subject to Lender's right to keep such portion of such Basic
Retainage as it may reasonably determine to be necessary to ensure Completion of
the Construction Work Phase. Lender shall have no obligation to make any

after giving effect to such Advance, the cost of Completion of the Construction
Work Phase exceeds the sum of (i) remaining undisbursed balance of the
Construction Component allocated to the Construction Work Phase and (ii) all
Required Completion Assurance Deposits (Construction) held with respect to such
Construction Work Phase. Lender shall have no obligation to make any Loan
Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance, the sum of (i) the unpaid

Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance, the sum of (i) aggregate unpaid
principal balances of the Loans, (ii) the committed and undisbursed portion of
the Loan and (iii) the Uncovered Cost of the Construction Work would exceed the
Maximum Loan Amount.
2.2 Borrowing Term. The Loan is not a revolving line of credit. All of the

obtain Advances after the expiration of the Borrowing Term unless Lender, in its
discretion, agrees in writing with Borrower to make Advances thereafter on terms
and conditions satisfactory to Lender.
2.3 Advances. Borrower will use the Acquisition Refinancing Advance only
for the Approved Acquisition Refinancing Component Uses. Borrower will use
Construction Work-Related Advances only to pay or reimburse Borrower for the
line-item expenses shown in the applicable Construction Budgets as being paid
out of the Loan. If the amount needed by Borrower for any line-item expense set
forth in the Construction Budget for a Construction Work Phase is less than the
amount of the line-item expense budgeted to be paid out of the Loan, such excess
may be re-allocated to other line items in such Construction Budget or, at
Lender's option, to the contingency line-item in such Construction Budget as
approved by Lender in writing, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld so
long as at the time of such requested re-allocation, (i) no Event of Default
exists, (ii) Borrower has executed such modifications to the Documents as Lender
may require in connection therewith, and (iii) the line-item has been fully bid,
the savings in such line-item is supported by bid, Lender's Inspector has

Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed
during the period for which interest is being charged predicated on a year
consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days. Payments of principal, Basic
Interest and any other amounts due and payable under the Documents shall

earn interest after they are due at the Default Rate. At the option of Lender,
while an Event of Default exists, Basic Interest shall accrue at the Default
Rate.
2.5 Minimum Required Payments.

contrary other than the preceding provisions of this paragraph regarding the
application of the Partial Release Fees, the amount of all payments or amounts

representations and warranties are made with respect to each Construction Work
Phase for which Borrower has requested a Construction Work-Related Advance:
(a) Adequacy of Principal Work-Related Items. The Principal
Work-Related Items which have been delivered to Lender for a Construction Work
Phase are adequate (or will be adequate at the time required to be delivered to
Lender pursuant to this Agreement) and will continue at all times to be adequate
for Completion of the Construction Work Phase. All Principal Work-Related Items
for a Construction Work Phase delivered to Lender are in full force and effect;
no third party bound thereby is in default of its obligations thereunder or has
threatened to terminate Borrower's rights thereunder; Borrower has paid all sums
and performed all other obligations it has under them; and no third party bound
thereby has any defense to the enforcement of Borrower's rights thereunder.
Except as disclosed to Lender in writing, no moratorium or other legal
impediment exists or, to the knowledge of Borrower, is threatened with respect
to the issuance of any permit or approval necessary to use the Construction
Improvements for time-share and other intended purposes upon Completion of the
Construction Work.
(b) Adequacy of Construction Budget. Borrower will cause the
Construction Budget for the Construction Work and the Construction Budget for
each Construction Work Phase to accurately and completely set forth the types
and estimated maximum amounts of all costs which must be incurred for Completion
of the Construction Work or Completion of the Work Phase, as the case may be, to
occur.
(c) Adequacy of Streets and Utilities. All streets, easements, and
utilities (including potable water, storm and sanitary sewer, gas, electric,
telephone and cable television facilities and garbage removal) necessary for the
Completion of the Construction Work and use of the Real Property for time-share
purposes have been completed, paid for in full and are available at the
boundaries of the Real Property. All water and sewer treatment plants and power
generation facilities intended to serve the Construction Improvements have been
constructed and are operational; and upon Completion of the Construction Work,
will have adequate capacity and size to serve the time-share and other intended
uses of the Construction Improvements.
(d) Status of Work; Break in Priority. No work, equipment, materials
or services of any kind that may give rise to any mechanics or similar statutory
lien (whether for work performed prior to or after recordation of the Borrower's
Mortgage) which will have priority over the lien of the Borrower's Mortgage,
including, without limitation, the destruction or removal of existing related
Improvements, site work, cleaning, curbing, draining or fencing of the Real
Property, has been or will be performed or commenced on the Real Property prior
to recordation of the Borrower's Mortgage unless Lender has waived such
condition in its discretion. As a condition precedent to any such waiver, such
work, equipment, materials, services or work of any kind has been performed or
provided with respect to the Real Property that may give rise to any mechanics
or similar statutory lien which will have priority to the lien of the Borrower's
Mortgage (including, without limitation, the destruction or removal of existing
Improvements, site work, clearing, grubbing, draining or fencing of the Real
Property); such work, equipment, materials and services must be fully disclosed
in writing to Lender and Title Insurer (Borrower's Mortgage) prior to
recordation of the Borrower's Mortgage, such work, equipment, materials and
services must be satisfactory to Lender and Lender's Inspector; and Title
Insurer (Borrower's Mortgage) must insure the priority of the Borrower's
Mortgage over all such liens.

knowledge or has reason to believe that an event (other than general changes in
the economy) has occurred or could occur which could give rise to a material
increase in assessments to cover the then current costs of operating the
Time-Share Program and to establish and maintain a reasonable reserve for
capital improvements to the Time-Share Program, it will notify Lender of the
occurrence of such event.
(viii) Time-Share Program VOP Audits. Borrower will deliver to
Lender within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter an

Borrower
-19-
to any state of the United States or political subdivision thereof or to the
United States of America under Section 11 or 1201 of the Internal Revenue Code,
as amended, in consequence of the receipt of payments provided for in the
Documents. If it is unlawful for Borrower to pay such Impositions, Borrower
shall not be required to pay such Impositions; but Lender may demand payment of
such additional amount as is necessary to maintain Lender's yields on the Loans
subject to the Impositions in either a single payment or at Lender's option, in
installment payments, and Borrower will pay such amount upon demand. If it is
unlawful to pay such additional amount, Borrower shall not be required to pay
it; but Lender may demand immediate payment of the Obligations subject to the
Impositions in full (together with the applicable Prepayment Premiums), and
Borrower will pay such Obligations in full within sixty (60) days after such
demand. If Lender has not received evidence satisfactory to it from Borrower
that such Impositions have been paid by Borrower within five (5) days after
demand was made upon Borrower to make such payment, Lender may, at its option,
pay the same, and Borrower shall immediately reimburse Lender for the sums so
expended, together with interest at the Default Rate.

every twelve (12) months, the difference between (A) the cumulative total amount
of the maintenance and operating expenses incurred by such Time-Share
Association, together with a reasonable reserve for capital improvements and the
amount of any installment of real property taxes currently due and payable with
respect to the Real Property and related amenities, through the end of the
calendar month preceding the month in which such payment is made and (B) the
cumulative total amount of assessments payable to such Time-Share Association by

maintain or cause to be maintained in good condition and repair all common areas
in the Real Property and other on-site amenities which have been promised or

controlling Borrower (whether directly or indirectly, through one or more
intermediaries). Without limiting Lender's right to withhold its approval for
other reasons, as a condition to approval of any lien, security interest or
other charge upon any of the Collateral, Lender may require that the third party

(i) amend any of the Principal Construction Work-Related Items
except for change orders which (i) do not change the cost of Completion of the
Work by more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in the aggregate beyond
that shown in the Construction Budgets as originally approved by Lender, and
(ii) do not affect the design, structural integrity or quality of the
Construction Improvements; or

obligation to do so, pay, perform and discharge any and all obligations

payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand, and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate from the dates of such expenditures until paid.

but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other remedy given under any Document or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity. No delay in exercising or omission to exercise any right or power
shall be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence to any default or a waiver
of any right or power; and every such right and power may be exercised from time
to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.
7.8 Waiver of Marshaling. Borrower, for itself and for all who may claim
through or under it, hereby expressly waives and releases all right to have the
Collateral, or any part of the Collateral, marshaled on any foreclosure sale or
