RECITALS
--------
A. Borrower desires Lender to extend a secured credit facility to
Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
B. Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents will be secured inter
alia by, a security interest in certain Notes Receivable.
C. Guarantor shall guaranty all of the obligations of Borrower to Lender
under the Loan Documents.
D. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the appendix attached hereto and made a part hereof by this
reference.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, Borrower and Lender agree
as follows:
SECTION 1
---------
THE LOAN
--------
1.1 Loan.
----
(a) Availability. During the Revolving Period, Lender shall make
------------
Advances to Borrower not in excess of Availability provided that Borrower
satisfies all conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof and any other provisions
of the Loan Documents applicable thereto. Advances shall be made no more
frequently than four (4) times each month nor more than one (1) time each week.
Except in connection with a prepayment mandated under Section 1.5(b)(i) below,
any amounts repaid during the Revolving Period may be reborrowed during the
Revolving Period.
(b) Excess Availability. Lender shall make Advances of Excess
-------------------
Availability to Borrower not more often than once per month and within fifteen
(15) days of Borrower's delivery to Lender of written request therefor
accompanied by Monthly Reports evidencing such Excess Availability to Lender's
satisfaction.
1.2 Maturity. The Loan and Revolving Period shall be for a term of three
--------
(3) years and the Loan shall be payable in full, together with all other amounts
due and obligations owed under the Loan Documents on August 8, 2004. The Loan,
Revolving Period and Maturity Date may be extended for two (2) years upon the
payment of $150,000 to Lender at least ten (10) days before the end of the
initial term.
1.3 Interest Rate. The outstanding principal balance of
-------------
the Loan together with all other Indebtedness shall bear interest at the
Interest Rate; provided, however, that after the occurrence of an Event of
Default the Loan will bear interest at the Default Rate until cured during the
time allowed for such cure in this Agreement or otherwise waived by Lender.
1.4 Payments.
--------
(a) Monthly Payments. All funds collected by the Lockbox Agent from
----------------
the Financed Notes Receivable shall be paid to Lender at least weekly pursuant
to the Lockbox Agreement, and shall be applied by Lender once each week in the
following order: first, to the payment of costs or expenses incurred by Lender
-----
in collecting any amounts due in connection with the Loan; second, to the
------
payment of accrued and unpaid interest; and third to the reduction of the
principal balance of the Loan. If the funds received by Lender from the Lockbox
Agent with respect to any month are insufficient to pay interest due and
outstanding for any such month in full, Borrower shall pay the difference to
Lender within five (5) business days of notice from Lender. Payments received
by Borrower directly from any Purchaser shall be delivered to the Lockbox Agent
within two (2) Business Days.
(b) Final Payment. The Indebtedness shall be payable in full on the
-------------
Maturity Date.
1.5 Prepayments.
-----------
(a) Voluntary Prepayments. Prepayments of the Loan may be made in
---------------------
whole, but not in part, upon five (5) days prior written notice to Lender at any
time upon payment of the applicable Prepayment Premium (whether such prepayment
results from voluntary payments by Borrower, acceleration, or otherwise);
provided, however, that payments or prepayments of Financed Notes Receivable
made by Purchasers shall not violate this Section 1.5(a), and no Prepayment
Premium shall be payable as a result of any such payment.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments.
---------------------
(i) Excess Outstandings. If at any time the outstanding
-------------------
principal balance of the Loan exceeds the Maximum Exposure, Borrower
shall, within ten (10) Business Days after notice, either (A) prepay
the Loan in an amount necessary to reduce the principal balance of the
Loan, or (B) deliver to Lender such additional or replacement Eligible
Notes Receivable, in either event such that the remaining outstanding
principal balance of the Loan is equal to or less than the Maximum
Exposure.
(ii) No Prepayment Premium. No Prepayment Premium shall be due
---------------------
in connection with any mandatory prepayment made in accordance with
Sections 1.5(b)(i) above.
(iii) Ineligible Financed Note Receivable. If at any time a
-----------------------------------
Financed Note Receivable ceases to be an Eligible Note Receivable,
Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after notice, either (A)
prepay the Loan in an amount equal to the balance due under such
Financed Note Receivable; or (B) deliver to Lender one (1) or more
Eligible Notes Receivable having an outstanding aggregate principal
balance equal to, or no more than $1,000 in excess of, the outstanding
principal balance of such Financed Note Receivable. Thereafter,
Lender shall return such ineligible Note Receivable to Borrower and,
within five (5) days of Lender's receipt from Borrower of a completed
Allonge and Assignment of Deed of Trust relating to such Note
Receivable and the Deed
of Trust securing the same, in forms acceptable to Lender, Lender
shall execute such instruments and return them to Borrower.
1.6 Commitment Fee. The portion of the Commitment Fee of such payment. The
--------------
previously paid by Borrower shall be deemed to have been earned as of the date
unpaid portion of the Commitment Fee, if any, shall be deemed fully earned as of
the date hereof, and Borrower shall pay $100,000.00 to Lender before or upon the
Initial Advance, and the balance in three (3) monthly installments of $28,333.33
each, by no later than December 15, 2001; Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to
advance the $100,000.00 to itself from the first Advance and to advance the
balance due out of subsequent Advances.
1.7 Unused Line Fee. Commencing on the first day of December, 2001 and
---------------
continuing on the first day of each quarter thereafter, Borrower shall pay
Lender the Unused Line Fee.
SECTION 2
---------
COLLATERAL
----------

--------------------------

pledge and grant to Lender a first priority, continuing security interest and

set forth in this Agreement, Borrower may supplement or replace Financed Notes
Receivables with Upgraded Notes Receivable without Lender's prior consent so
long as (i) no Event of Default exists and is continuing; and (ii) the Note
Receivable that is in default or otherwise not an Eligible Note Receivable has
not become an Upgraded Note Receivable through changes in its terms.
2.3 Security Agreement. This Agreement shall be deemed a security
------------------
agreement as defined in the Code, and the remedies for any violation of the
covenants, terms and conditions of the agreements herein contained shall be
cumulative and be as prescribed (a) herein, or (b) by general law, or (c) as to
such part of the Collateral which is also reflected in any filed financing
statement, by the specific provisions of the Code now or hereafter enacted, all
at Lender's sole election. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to execute

SECTION 4
---------
GENERAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
--------------------------------------
Borrower and Guarantor, for themselves and each other where applicable,
hereby represent and warrant to Lender as follows, which representations and
warranties shall remain true throughout the term of the Loan:
4.1 Existence.
---------
(a) Borrower is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada with its principal
place of business at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx 00000. Borrower
is in good standing under the laws of the States of Nevada, Florida,
Colorado, Texas, New Jersey, Hawaii and California and is authorized to
transact business in the States where the law requires such qualifications
to do the customary business of Borrower.
(b) Guarantor is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of New York with its principal
place of business at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx 00000.
Guarantor is in good standing under the laws of the State of New York and
is authorized to transact business in the State of Nevada.
4.2 Authorization and Enforceability.
--------------------------------
(a) Execution. The Loan Documents have been duly authorized,
---------
executed and delivered and constitute the duly authorized, valid and
legally binding obligations of Borrower and the other parties signatory
thereto (other than Lender) enforceable against such parties in accordance
with their respective terms.
(b) Other Agreements. The execution, delivery and compliance with
----------------
the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents will not (i) to the best of
Borrower's knowledge, violate any provisions of law or any applicable
regulation, order or other decree of any court or governmental entity, or
(ii) conflict or be inconsistent with, or result in any default under, any
contract, agreement or commitment to which Borrower is bound.
4.3 Financial Statements and Business Condition. Borrower's and
-------------------------------------------
Guarantor's financial statements fairly present the respective financial
conditions and (if applicable) results of operations of Borrower and Guarantor
as of the date or dates thereof and for the periods covered thereby. All such
financial statements, other than those prepared on behalf of a natural person,
if any, were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Except for any such changes
heretofore expressly disclosed in writing to Lender, there has been no material
adverse change in the respective financial conditions of Borrower or Guarantor
from the financial conditions shown in their respective financial statements.
Borrower and Guarantor are able to pay all of their debts as they become due,
and each shall maintain such solvent financial condition, giving effect to all
obligations, absolute and contingent, of Borrower and Guarantor. Borrower's and
Guarantor's obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents
will not render Borrower and Guarantor unable to pay
their debts as they become due. The present fair market value of Borrower's
assets and Guarantor's assets is greater than the amount required to pay their
total liabilities.
4.4 Taxes. All ad valorem taxes and other taxes and assessments
-----
against the Resort and the Collateral that are due and payable have been paid
and Borrower knows of no basis for any additional taxes or assessments against
the Resort or the Collateral. Borrower has filed all required tax returns or
has made timely requests for extensions and has paid all taxes shown to be due
and payable on such returns, including interest and penalties, and all other
taxes which are payable by it, to the extent the same have become due and
payable. Borrower shall collect and pay any applicable sales or rental tax
respecting the sale or rental of any Intervals.
4.5 Litigation and Proceedings. There are no actions, suits, proceedings,
--------------------------
orders or injunctions pending or, to the best of Borrower's or Guarantor's
knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor, the Resort, the
Loan or any Timeshare Association, at law or in equity, or before or by any
governmental authority, which could have a material adverse effect on Borrower
or Guarantor. Borrower has received no notice from any court or governmental
authority alleging that Borrower has violated the Timeshare Act, any of the
rules or regulations thereunder, or any other applicable laws.
4.6 Licenses and Permits. Borrower possesses all requisite franchises,
--------------------
certificates of convenience and necessity, operating rights, licenses, permits,
consents, authorizations, exemptions and orders as are necessary to carry on its
business as now being conducted.
4.7 Full Disclosure. No information, exhibit or written report furnished
---------------
by or on behalf of Borrower and Guarantor to Lender in connection with the Loan
contains any material misstatement of fact or omits any material fact necessary
to make the statement contained herein or therein not misleading. Borrower knows
of no legal or contractual restriction which will prevent it from offering or
selling Intervals to Purchasers in any state where it is selling Intervals.
4.8 Employee Benefit Plans. Borrower is in compliance in all material
----------------------
respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA, the IRC and all other
applicable laws and the regulations and interpretations thereof with respect to
all Employee Benefit Plans. No material liability has been incurred by Borrower
which remains unsatisfied for any funding obligation, taxes or penalties with
respect to any Employee Benefit Plan.
4.9 Representations as to the Resort.
--------------------------------
(a) Title; Prior Liens. Borrower has good and marketable title to
------------------
the Resort (excluding sold Intervals). Borrower is not in default under any
of the documents evidencing or securing any indebtedness which is secured,
wholly or in part, by the Resort, and no event has occurred which with the
giving of notice, the passage of time or both, would constitute a default
under any of the documents evidencing or securing any such indebtedness.
There are no liens or encumbrances against the Resort other than the
Permitted Exceptions.
(b) Access. The Resort has direct access to a publicly dedicated
------
road over a recorded easement and all roadways, if any, inside the Resort
are common areas under the Declaration.
(c) Utilities. Electric, gas, sewer, water facilities and other
---------
necessary utilities are lawfully available in sufficient capacity to
service the Resort and any easements necessary to the furnishing of such
utility service have been obtained and duly recorded.
(d) Amenities. All amenities described in the sales prospectus and
---------
the Public Reports for the Resort are completed, or a bond insuring their
completion has been posted. Such amenities include those listed in Exhibit
D attached hereto. Each Purchaser of an Interval has access to and the
use of all of the amenities and public utilities of the Resort as and to
the extent provided in the Declaration and the Public Reports.
(e) Construction. All costs arising from the construction of any
------------
improvements and the purchase of any equipment, inventory, or furnishings
located in or on the Resort have been paid on any Units where a Purchaser
Deed of Trust is to be assigned to Lender.
(f) Resort Documents and Creation of Resort. Borrower has furnished
---------------------------------------
to Lender true and correct copies of all Public Reports for the Resort,
approval letters from the states where Intervals have been offered for
sale, and all documents as recorded establishing the timeshare regime.
Borrower is in control of the Association (as defined in the Declaration)
of each of the Resorts (the "Timeshare Association").
4.10 Timeshare Interval Exchange Network. Borrower is a member and
-----------------------------------
participant, pursuant to a validly executed and enforceable agreement in
writing, in Resorts Condominium International. Borrower has or caused to be paid
all fees and other amounts due and owing under such agreement and is not
otherwise in default thereunder.
4.11 Collateral.
----------
(a) Title. Borrower has good and marketable title to the Collateral,
-----
free and clear of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance except
for (i) the security interest created by this Agreement or otherwise
created in favor of Lender; and (ii) the Permitted Exceptions. No
financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or
any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office, except such
as may have been filed in favor of Lender. Borrower shall defend Lender
against and save it harmless from all claims of any Persons other than
Lender with respect to the Collateral, and this indemnity shall include all
attorneys' fees and legal expenses.
(b) No Modification. There have been no modifications or amendments
---------------
to the Pledged Documents. Borrower shall not grant extensions of time for
the payment of, compromise for less than the full face value, release in
whole or in part any Purchaser liable for the payment of, or allow any
credit whatsoever except for the amount of cash to be paid upon, any
Collateral or any instrument or document representing the Collateral.
Borrower may make non-material changes on three (3) business days notice to
Lender that do not change the term of the Note, forgive or extend any
payment or waive any default, subject, however, to Lender's discretion to
disallow any such change
(c) Binding Obligations. On the date of the assignment and delivery to
-------------------
Lender, each Financed Note Receivable and Upgraded Note Receivable
constitutes an Eligible Note Receivable and Borrower is not aware of any
facts or information which would cause such Financed Note Receivable to be
ineligible hereunder.
(d) Community Property. The Pledged Documents were executed by
------------------
Purchasers in connection with the purchase of Intervals and, as to
individuals, bind the marital community of married individual partners.
SECTION 5
---------
AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
---------------------
So long as any portion of the Indebtedness remains unpaid, Borrower
covenants as follows:
5.1 Payment and Performance of Indebtedness. Borrower shall pay and
---------------------------------------
promptly perform all of the obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents.
5.2 Maintenance of Insurance.
------------------------
(a) Borrower further covenants that:
(i) Policies. The Resort shall at all times and for so long as
--------
any Indebtedness remains outstanding be kept insured with
such general liability coverage and such other coverages
acceptable to Lender, by carrier(s), in amounts and in form
at all times satisfactory to Lender, which carrier(s),
amounts and form shall not be changed without the prior
written consent of Lender. All required insurance may be
maintained by the Timeshare Association as required by the
Declaration, provided that in the event any Timeshare
Association fails to maintain any insurance required under
this Section 5.2(a), then Borrower shall be required to
obtain and maintain such insurance.
(ii) Proofs of Claim. In case of loss or damage or other
---------------
casualty, Borrower shall give immediate written notice
thereof to the insurance carrier(s) and to Lender. Lender is
authorized and empowered, and Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact (such appointment is
coupled with an interest), at Lender's option, to make or
file proofs of loss or damage and to settle and adjust any
claim under insurance policies which insure against such
risks, or to direct Borrower, in writing, to agree with the
insurance carrier(s) on the amount to be paid in regard to
such loss.
(iii) Loss or Casualty. Provided no Event of Default then exists
----------------
and Borrower certifies as to same, the net insurance
proceeds shall be made available for the restoration or
repair of the Resort if (i) in Lender's reasonable judgment:
(a) restoration or repair and the continued operation of the
Resort is economically feasible; (b) the value of Lender's
security is not reduced; and (c) the casualty loss is
$250,000 or less; and (ii) the loss does not occur in the
six (6) month period preceding the Maturity Date and
Lender's independent consultant certifies that the
restoration of the property can be completed at least ninety
(90) days prior to the Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay all
amounts, in addition to the net insurance proceeds,
necessary to pay in
full the cost of the restoration or repair and shall deposit
such amount with Lender or the Insurance Trustee if
established by the Declaration, all in the discretion of
Lender.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a condition precedent
to any disbursement of insurance proceeds held by Lender hereunder that
Lender shall have approved (x) all plans and specifications for any
proposed repair or restoration; (y) the construction schedule; and (z) the
architect's and general contractor's contracts for restoration exceeding
$250,000. Lender may establish other conditions it deems reasonably
necessary to assure the work is fully completed in a good and workmanlike
manner free of all liens or claims by reason thereof, and in compliance
with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. At Lender's option, the
net insurance proceeds shall be disbursed subject to the requirements of
the Timeshare Association documents. If an Event of Default then exists,
or any of the conditions set forth in this subsection have not been met or
satisfied, the net insurance proceeds shall be applied to the Loan in such
order and manner as Lender may elect, whether or not due and payable, with
any excess paid to Borrower.
5.3 Condemnation. The proceeds of any award, payment or claim for damages,
------------
direct or consequential, in connection with any condemnation or other taking of
any Unit or Interval which is the subject of a Financed Note Receivable or part
thereof, or for conveyances in lieu of condemnation, are hereby assigned to and
shall be paid to Lender. Lender is authorized (but is under no obligation) to
collect any such proceeds. Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such
condemnation award (after deduction of Lender's reasonable costs and expenses,
if any, in collecting the same) subject to the requirements of the Timeshare
Association documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, for so long as any part of the Resorts are subject to the Declaration,
any and all awards and payment received by Lender arising from any condemnation
or conveyances in lieu thereof relating to the Resorts shall be delivered and
paid out by Lender to the insurance trustee under the Declaration, to be
distributed and used in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration.
5.4 Inspections and Audits. Borrower shall, at such reasonable times
----------------------
during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably requested, permit
any agents or representatives of Lender to inspect the Resort and any of
Borrower's assets (including financial and accounting books and records), to
examine and make copies of and abstracts from the records and books of account
of Borrower or the Timeshare Association or servicer under the Servicing
Agreement and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with any of its
officers, employees or independent public accountants. Borrower acknowledges
that Lender intends to conduct such audits and inspections on at least a semi-
annual basis. Borrower shall make available to Lender all credit information in
Borrower's possession or under Borrower's control with respect to Purchasers as
Lender may request. For up to two (2) such inspections per year and for any
inspections made after an Event of Default, Borrower agrees to pay all of
Lender's reasonable expenses to conduct such inspections; provided, however,
that except with respect to any audits conducted after an Event of Default
hereunder, Borrower shall not be required to pay in excess of $7,500 in any
calendar year for audits performed during such year.
5.5 Reporting Requirements. So long as the Indebtedness remains unpaid,
----------------------
Borrower shall furnish the following to Lender:
(a) Every fourteen (14) days a report in a mutually acceptable form to
