2. LOAN COMMITMENT; USE OF PROCEEDS

make Advances to Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement for the purposes specified in PARAGRAPH 2.4. The maximum amount of an
Advance shall be equal to (a) the aggregate Borrowing Base for all Eligible
Inventory less (b) the then unpaid principal balance of the Inventory Loan;
provided, however, at no time shall the unpaid principal balance of the
Inventory Loan exceed the Maximum Inventory Loan Amount; and provided further,
that with respect to the first Advance made on the basis of Inventory which has
not previously constituted a portion of the Borrowing Base, the maximum amount
of such Advance shall not exceed the Borrowing Base directly attributable to
such new Inventory. The foregoing notwithstanding, Primary Borrower shall not be
entitled to borrow the amount contained in the Santa Fe Reserve until such time
as (i) those improvements which have been disclosed to Lender prior to the
Closing Date with respect to the Units situated in the Villas de Santa Fe
project have been completed for certain of such Units, and (ii) Primary Borrower
has provided to Lender evidence that all amounts required to complete such
improvements for such Units have been expended. Upon completion of the foregoing
items, Primary Borrower shall be permitted to borrow that percentage of the
Santa Fe Reserve as is equal to the percentage of Approved Alternative Interests
which remain as unsold Time-Share Interests following such conversion (with the
result that Primary Borrower shall not be permitted to borrow such portion of
the Santa Fe Reserve as arose with respect to Approved Alternative Interests
which were sold or otherwise disposed of prior to the time such interests were
converted into Time-Share Interests).
2.2 INVENTORY LOAN REVOLVER. The Inventory Loan is a revolving line of
credit; however, all Advances shall be viewed as a single loan. Borrower shall
not be entitled to 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.
5
2.3 CONTINUATION OF OBLIGATIONS THROUGHOUT TERM; RIGHT TO EXTEND. Whether
or not Borrower's right to obtain Advances has terminated, this Agreement and
Borrower's liability for Performance of the Obligations shall continue until the
end of the Term. Borrower shall have the right, exercisable not earlier than one
hundred and twenty (120) days, nor later than sixty (60) days, prior to the
Original Borrowing Term Expiration Date to extend the Borrowing Term (herein,
the "EXTENSION OPTION") through the Extended Borrowing Term Expiration Date;
provided, however, that the Extension Option shall expire and be of no further
force or effect upon the occurrence of an Event of Default at any time prior to
the Original Borrowing Term Expiration Date (regardless of whether or not any
notice from Primary Borrower of its election to exercise the Extension Option
has then been delivered to Lender). In the event Primary Borrower elects to
exercise the Extension Option, Primary Borrower shall pay the Renewal Fee
described in PARAGRAPH 2.9(B) hereof.
2.4 USE OF ADVANCES. Borrower will use the proceeds of the Inventory Loan
only for working capital and other business purposes.
2.5 REPAYMENT OF INVENTORY LOAN. The Inventory Loan shall be evidenced by
the Note and shall be repaid in immediately available funds according to the
terms of the Note and this Agreement.
2.6 INTEREST. Except as otherwise provided in this Note or this Agreement,
interest ("BASIC INTEREST") shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the
Inventory Loan from time to time outstanding at the Basic Interest Rate. Basic
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. Installments of principal, Basic
Interest and any other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents shall
earn interest after they are due at the Default Rate. At the option of Lender,
while an Event of Default exists, interest shall accrue at the Default Rate.
2.7 INVENTORY LOAN REQUIRED PAYMENTS.
(a) MONTHLY PAYMENTS; MATURITY. Commencing on the last Business Day
of the calendar month in which the initial Advance is made and on the last
Business Day of each succeeding month thereafter during the Borrowing Term
(each, an "INSTALLMENT DATE"), Borrower will pay to Lender an installment
payment equal to accrued interest on the then outstanding balance of the
Inventory Loan. Following expiration of the Borrowing Term, accrued
interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Inventory Loan shall
be payable monthly, on the last Business Day of each month, and the
outstanding principal balance of the Inventory Loan shall be payable
through the payment of Release Fees concurrently with the sale or other
disposition of individual items of Inventory until the Maturity Date, at
which time all outstanding amounts shall be due and payable. Lender shall
provide to Primary Borrower, on or before the seventh day prior to the end
of each calendar month, a statement of accrued interest for such month
(which statement shall assume that the unpaid principal balance of the
Inventory Loan remains the same from the date of such statement through
the end of the applicable month). Lender shall deliver such statement of
accrued interest either via facsimile or e-mail, whichever method of
delivery is selected by Primary Borrower. In the event actual accrued
interest for a calendar month is different from the accrued interest set
forth on any monthly statement as a result of a change in the outstanding
principal balance of the Inventory Loan, an appropriate adjustment shall
be calculated by Lender and reflected in the next monthly accrued interest
statement.
(b) BORROWING BASE MAINTENANCE. If there exists a Borrowing Base
Shortfall and Borrower knows of the occurrence of such condition or should
have known of its occurrence by virtue of reports required to be delivered
to Lender, Borrower, without notice or demand, will immediately (a) make
to Lender a principal payment in an amount equal to the Borrowing Base
Shortfall plus accrued and unpaid interest on such principal payment or
(b) deliver to Lender additional Eligible Inventory having an aggregate
Borrowing Base not less than the Borrowing Base Shortfall. Simultaneously
with the delivery of additional Eligible Inventory to correct a Borrowing
Base Shortfall, Borrower will deliver to Lender all of the items (except
for a "REQUEST FOR ADVANCE AND CERTIFICATION") required to be delivered by
Borrower to Lender pursuant to PARAGRAPH 4.2, together with a "BORROWER'S
CERTIFICATE" in form and substance identical to EXHIBIT C.
(c) REVALUATION OF RETAIL VALUE. Each party shall have the right to
request a revaluation of the Retail Value applicable to all then existing
Eligible Inventory semi-annually, each such revaluation to occur on a
mid-year or annual anniversary of the Closing Date. In the event either
Lender or Borrower requests a revaluation of Retail Value, each Borrower
owning Eligible Inventory as to which a revaluation has been requested
shall provide to Lender a summary of the actual sales prices attained
during the preceding twelve (12) months with respect to the particular
Eligible Inventory involved, and the average actual sales price realized
upon sales of Eligible Inventory shall
6
become the new Retail Value with respect to the particular Time-Share
Project in which such Eligible Inventory was sold. The foregoing
notwithstanding, no revaluation shall take place with respect to any
Eligible Inventory which has constituted a part of the Collateral for less
than six (6) months. In the event that such recalculated Retail Value is
less than the Retail Value originally established when Eligible Inventory
from such Time-Share Project was contributed to the Borrowing Base, and as
a result thereof a Borrowing Base Shortfall is created, Borrower shall
comply with the Borrowing Base maintenance requirements of PARAGRAPH
2.7(b) above.
2.8 PREPAYMENT. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower
shall not be entitled to prepay the Inventory Loan except in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement. Commencing on the Opening Prepayment Date applicable to
a given Advance, Borrower shall have the option to prepay such Advance in full
but not in part on any Installment Date, upon thirty (30) days prior written
notice. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, any principal payments
required pursuant to PARAGRAPHS 2.7 OR 3.2 hereof shall not be considered
prepayments which are prohibited hereby, nor shall any prepayment resulting from
the application of (i) insurance proceeds following an insured casualty or (ii)
condemnation proceeds in the event any Units of Inventory are condemned, be
considered prepayments which are prohibited hereby.
2.9 LOAN FEE; RENEWAL FEE; ADMINISTRATIVE FEE.
(a) LOAN FEE. Borrower will pay to Lender the Loan Fee in accordance
with the requirements set forth in the Schedule. The Loan Fee shall be
earned by Lender upon approval of the Inventory Loan on substantially the
terms contained in this Agreement, and shall be non-refundable.
(b) RENEWAL FEE. In the event Primary Borrower elects to exercise
the Extension Option, Primary Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Original
Borrowing Term Expiration Date a fee ("RENEWAL FEE") equal to one percent
(1.0%) of the difference between the Maximum Inventory Loan Amount and the
outstanding principal balance of the Inventory Loan as of the date ten
(10) days prior to the Original Borrowing Term Expiration Date.
(c) ADMINISTRATIVE FEE. In the event Borrower requests more than one
Advance in any given calendar month, Borrower shall pay to Lender a fee
("ADMINISTRATIVE FEE"), equal to $500 for each such additional Advance.
2.10 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL AND PAYMENTS. Notwithstanding
anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the amount of all payments or
amounts received by Lender with respect to the Inventory Loan shall be applied
to the extent applicable under the Loan Documents: (a) first, to any past due
payments of interest on the Inventory Loan and to accrued interest on the
Inventory Loan through the date of such payment, including any default interest;
(b) then, to any late fees, overdue risk assessments, collection fees and
expenses and any other fees and expenses due to Lender under the Loan Documents
in connection with the Inventory Loan; and (c) last, the remaining balance, if
any, to the unpaid principal balance of the Inventory Loan; provided, however,
while an Event of Default or Incipient Default exists, each payment received
with respect to the Inventory Loan shall be applied to such amounts owed to
Lender by Borrower as Lender in its discretion may determine. In calculating
interest and applying payments as set forth above: (i) interest on the Inventory
Loan shall be calculated and collected through the date payment is actually
received by Lender; (ii) interest on the outstanding balance of the Inventory
Loan shall be charged during any grace period permitted under the Loan
Documents; (iii) at the end of each month, all past due interest and other past
due charges provided for under the Loan Documents with respect to the Inventory
Loan shall be added to the principal balance of the Inventory Loan; and (iv) to
the extent that Borrower makes a payment or Lender receives any payment or
proceeds of the Collateral for Borrower's benefit that is subsequently
invalidated, set aside or required to be repaid to any other person or entity,
then, to such extent, the Obligations in connection with the Inventory Loan
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or
proceeds had not been received by Lender, and Lender may adjust the Inventory
Loan balance in order to take into account such repayment, by restoring the
amount of the repayment to the outstanding balance of the Obligations (with the
particular Obligations deemed to have been revived to be such Obligations as
Lender, in its discretion, deems appropriate under the circumstances), giving
retroactive effect to the restoration of such particular Obligations as if the
payment required to be repaid had never been received by Lender. The provisions
of this PARAGRAPH 2.10 are also subject to the parties rights and obligations
under the Loan Documents as to the application of proceeds of the Collateral
following an Event of Default.
2.11 BORROWER'S UNCONDITIONAL OBLIGATION TO MAKE PAYMENTS. Whether or not
the proceeds from the Collateral shall be sufficient for that purpose, Borrower
will pay when due all payments required to be made pursuant to any of the Loan
Documents, Borrower's obligation to make such payments being absolute and
unconditional.
7
3. SECURITY
3.1 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST IN COLLATERAL. To secure the Performance of
all of the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in
and collaterally assigns to Lender the Collateral. Such security interest shall
be absolute, continuing, perfected, direct, first, exclusive and applicable to
all existing and future Advances and to all of the Obligations. In addition,
each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, for purposes of administrative
convenience to Borrowers collectively, Borrowers have requested, and Lender has
agreed, to permit the Borrowing Base to be calculated on a consolidated basis,
with the further result that the determination of any Borrowing Base Shortfall
which would obligate Borrower to make the payments required by PARAGRAPH 2.7(b)
herein shall only occur if a Borrowing Base Shortfall exists on a consolidated
basis. The foregoing approach results in significant administrative conveniences
to each Borrower, in that each Borrower may benefit from over-collateralization
existing on a consolidated basis by virtue of the fact that such an approach
permits the streamlined release procedure described in first sentence of
PARAGRAPH 3.2 hereof. Accordingly, each Borrower hereby acknowledges that it has
received benefit from the consolidated Borrowing Base Reporting procedure
implemented by this Agreement, and each Borrower acknowledges that the security
interest granted in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement, and pursuant to
each of the Mortgages, shall secure, up to the full amount of the Borrowing Base
contributed by each such Borrower, the payment and performance of all
Obligations of each Borrower to Lender. Borrower further warrants and guarantees
the enforceability of Lender's security interest in the Collateral. Lender is
hereby appointed Borrower's attorney-in-fact to take any and all actions in
Borrower's name and/or on Borrower's behalf deemed necessary or appropriate by
Lender with respect to the collection and remittance of payments (including the
endorsement of payment items) received on account of the Collateral; provided,
however, that Lender shall not take any action which is described in PARAGRAPH
7.2(C) unless an Event of Default exists.
3.2 RELEASE OF COLLATERAL. Borrower shall be entitled to sell or otherwise
dispose of those unsold Time-Share Interests constituting a portion of the
Collateral, and to obtain a partial release of such Time-Share Interests from
the Mortgage in favor of Lender without payment of a release fee, IF at the time
such release is requested: (i) no Event of Default or Incipient Default exists;
(ii) after giving effect to the proposed release of such Inventory, no Borrowing
Base Shortfall will exist or be created; and (iii) Borrower has requested Lender
in writing to release such items of Inventory. In the event that a proposed sale
or other disposition of Inventory will result in a Borrowing Base Shortfall,
then Lender shall only be obligated to release the Inventory being sold upon
satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) no Event of Default or Incipient
Default exists; (b) Borrower has paid a fee ("RELEASE FEE") in an amount equal
to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Retail Value which was allocated to such
item of Inventory at the time such item of Inventory was designated as Eligible
Inventory hereunder and contributed to the Borrowing Base; and (c) Borrower has
requested Lender in writing to release such Inventory. Borrower will prepare all
release documents which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender,
and will deliver them to Lender for execution. Lender will send Borrower the
release documents within a reasonable time after satisfaction of the conditions
precedent specified in the foregoing sentence.
3.3 BORROWING BASE REPORTING. At least two (2) Business Days prior to the
date any Advance is requested hereunder, or prior to the date upon which
Borrower is requesting a partial release of Time-Share Interests pursuant to
PARAGRAPH 3.2 hereof, Borrower shall provide to Lender a report (herein, the
"BORROWING BASE REPORT") with respect to each Time-Share Project in which unsold
Time-Share Interests make up a part of the Eligible Inventory upon which such
request for an Advance is based, or in which Time-Share Interests proposed to be
released are situated. A form of the Borrowing Base Report is attached hereto as
Exhibit B. Each Borrowing Base Report shall be prepared and presented on both a
consolidated and consolidating basis (i.e., each Borrowing Base Report shall
have a section describing, for all Borrowers, the aggregate of the Eligible
Inventory contributed by such Persons, with separate sections identifying
Eligible Inventory contributed by each individual Time-Share Project or other
form of development). Borrower will also deliver to Lender, promptly after
receipt of a written request for them, such other reports with respect to
Inventory constituting part of the Collateral as Lender may from time to time
reasonably require, provided that the information requested by Lender is readily
available on Borrower's record keeping systems, or can be developed from
information which is readily available. In the event that the information
requested by Lender is neither readily available on Borrower's record keeping
systems nor can it be developed from such readily available information, then
Borrower and Lender shall confer and attempt to identify alternate information
which is readily available to Borrower to be substituted for the information
requested.
3.4 MAINTENANCE OF SECURITY. Borrower will deliver or cause to be
delivered to Lender and will maintain or cause to be maintained in full force
and effect throughout the Term (except as otherwise expressly provided in such
Loan Document), as security for the Performance of the Obligations, the Security
Documents and all other security required to be given to Lender pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.

reasonable rules and regulations pertaining to the use of the Time-Share
Interest ("QUIET ENJOYMENT RIGHTS");

4.2 ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS PRECEDENT FOR SUBSEQUENT ADVANCES. For each
Advance, Lender's obligation to make such Advance shall be subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in EXHIBIT E, including delivery of the items called
for therein at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such Advance.
4.3 GENERAL CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO ALL ADVANCES. Lender's obligation to
fund any Advance is subject to and conditioned upon the additional terms and
conditions set forth in the following subparagraphs being satisfied at the time
of such Advance:
(a) No material adverse change shall have occurred in the Time-Share
Project, the Collateral, the business or financial condition of Borrower
(since the date of the latest financial and operating statements given to
Lender by or on behalf of Borrower), or the ability of Borrower to Perform
the Obligations.
(b) There shall have been no material, adverse change in the
warranties and representations made in the Loan Documents by Borrower
and/or any surety for the Performance of the Obligations.
(c) Neither an Event of Default nor Incipient Default shall have

(e) Borrower shall have paid to Lender the Loan Fee and any other
applicable fees which are required to be paid at the time of the Advance.
(f) To the extent that one or more of the Borrowers have requested
that they be permitted to make payments directly to the applicable Title
Insurers amounts which include, but are not necessarily limited to the
premium payable with respect to the issuance of the Title Policies in
connection with any prior disbursement of an Advance, Lender shall not be
obligated to fund a subsequent Advance until Borrower has made such
payment and Lender has received all Title Policies required hereunder. In
the event that Borrower for any reason fails to make such payment to the
Title Insurer, Lender shall be entitled to make such payment directly in
order to cause the Title Policy to be issued, and the amount of any such
payment shall constitute an Obligation hereunder.
4.4 CONDITIONS SATISFIED AT BORROWER'S EXPENSE. The conditions to Advances
shall be satisfied by Borrower at its expense.
4.5 MINIMUM AMOUNT AND MAXIMUM FREQUENCY OF ADVANCES. Advances shall be
made in amounts not less than the amounts identified in the Schedule as the

4.6 DISBURSEMENT OF ADVANCES. Advances may be payable to Borrower; or if
requested by Borrower and approved in writing by Lender, to others, either
severally or jointly with Borrower, for the credit or benefit of Borrower.
Advances shall be disbursed by wire transfer or, at Borrower's option exercised
by written request to Lender, by check or drafts. Borrower will pay Lender's
reasonable charge in connection with any wire transfer, and Lender's current
charge is identified in the Schedule as the Wire Transfer Fee. Lender may, at
its option, withhold from any Advance any sum (including costs and expenses)
then due to it under the terms of the Loan Documents or which Borrower would be
obligated to reimburse Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents if first paid
directly by Lender.
4.7 NO WAIVER. Although Lender shall have no obligation to make an Advance
unless and until all of the conditions precedent to the Advance have been
satisfied, Lender may, at its discretion, make Advances prior to that time
without waiving or releasing any of the Obligations.
5. BORROWER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that:
5.1 GOOD STANDING. Borrower is and duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing as a business organization of the type identified in the Schedule
11
as Borrower's Type of Business Organization under the laws of the state
identified in the Schedule as Borrower's State of Organization and is in good
standing and authorized to do business in the jurisdiction where the Time-Share
Project is located and in each jurisdiction where Borrower is at any time
selling Time-Share Interests or where at any time the location or nature of its
properties or its business makes such good standing and qualification necessary.
Borrower has full power and authority to carry on its business and own its
property.
5.2 POWER AND AUTHORITY; ENFORCEABILITY. Borrower has full power and
authority to execute and deliver the Loan Documents and to Perform the
Obligations. All action necessary and required by Borrower's Articles of
Organization and all other Legal Requirements for Borrower to obtain the
Inventory Loan, to execute and deliver the Loan Documents which have been or
will be executed and delivered in connection with the Loan Documents and to
Perform the Obligations has been duly and effectively taken. The Loan Documents
are, and to Borrower's knowledge shall be, legal, valid, binding and enforceable
against Borrower; and do not violate the Applicable Usury Law or constitute a
default or result in the imposition of a lien under the terms or provisions of
any agreement to which Borrower is a party. Except for the Third Party Consents
delivered pursuant to PARAGRAPH 4.1(A) and the consents evidenced by the
Resolutions delivered pursuant to PARAGRAPH 4.1(B), no consent of any
governmental agency or any other person not a party to this Agreement is or will
be required as a condition to the execution, delivery or enforceability of the
Loan Documents.
5.3 BORROWER'S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS. Borrower's principal place of
business and chief executive office are located at the addresses identified in
the Schedule as Borrower's Principal Place of Business and Borrower's Chief
Executive Office.
5.4 NO LITIGATION. There is no action, litigation or other proceeding
pending or, to Borrower's knowledge, threatened before any arbitration tribunal,
court, governmental agency or administrative body against Borrower which could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, other than with
respect to actions or proceedings involving or relating to the operation of an
individual Time-Share Project only (e.g., personal injury lawsuits) which are
adequately covered by insurance with respect to which the applicable insurance
carrier has neither denied coverage nor delivered to the applicable Borrower a
letter reserving its rights with respect to the claims asserted. Borrower will
promptly notify Lender if any such action, litigation or proceeding is commenced
or threatened, and the foregoing representation and warranty shall be deemed to
be true and accurate at any given time after giving effect to all disclosures of
any hereafter-arising matters of which Borrower has provided notice to Lender
after the date of this Agreement.
5.5 COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. Borrower has complied with all
Legal Requirements, including, without limitation all Legal Requirements of (a)
the state in which the Time-Share Project is located and (b) all other
governmental jurisdictions in which either (i) the Time-Share Project is located
or (ii) Time-Share Interests will be sold or offered for sale, except to the
extent that the failure of Borrower to have complied with any such Legal
Requirements would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.6 NO MISREPRESENTATIONS. The Loan Documents and all certificates,
financial statements and written materials furnished to Lender by or on behalf
of Borrower in connection with the Inventory Loan do not contain as of the date
furnished to Lender any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
fact which materially adversely affects or in the future may materially
adversely affect the Time-Share Project, the Collateral, the business or
financial condition of Borrower, or the ability of Borrower to Perform the
Obligations.
5.7 NO DEFAULT FOR THIRD PARTY OBLIGATIONS. Borrower is not in default
under any other agreement evidencing, guaranteeing or securing borrowed money or
a receivables purchase financing or in violation of or in default under any
material term in any other material agreement, Inventory, order, decree or
judgment of any court, arbitration or governmental authority to which it is a
party or by which it is bound.
5.8 PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER IMPOSITIONS. Borrower has filed all tax
returns and, subject to the provisions of PARAGRAPH 9.21, has paid all
Impositions, if any, required to be filed by it or paid by it, including real
estate taxes and assessments relating to the Time-Share Project or the
Collateral.
5.9 SALES ACTIVITIES. Prior to the date of this Agreement, Borrower has
sold Time-Share Interests and offered Time-Share Interests for sale only in the
jurisdictions identified in the Schedule as the Jurisdictions Where Sales And/or
Offers to Sell Have Occurred.
5.10 TIME-SHARE INTEREST NOT A SECURITY. Borrower has not sold or offered
for sale any Time-Share Interest as an investment. Neither the sale nor the
offering for sale of any Time-Share Interest will constitute the sale or the
offering for sale of a security under any applicable law.
5.11 ZONING COMPLIANCE. Neither time-share use nor other transient use and
occupancy of the Time-Share Project violates or constitutes or will violate or
constitute a non-conforming use or require a variance under any private covenant
or restriction or any zoning, use or similar law, ordinance or regulation
affecting the use or occupancy of the Time-Share Project.
5.12 ELIGIBLE INVENTORY. Each unsold Time-Share Interest which is
encumbered in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and against which an
Advance
12
is requested, or which is encumbered in favor of Lender pursuant to Borrowers'
obligations under PARAGRAPH 2.7 shall constitute Eligible Inventory at the time
such Advance is made. Borrower has Performed in all material respects all of its
obligations to Purchasers, to the extent that Borrower was obligated to have
performed such obligations as of the date hereof, and with respect to any
obligations to Purchasers as to which performance by Borrower is to occur in the
future, Borrower is not aware of any fact or circumstance which causes it to
believe that it will be unable to timely perform those obligations.
5.13 ASSOCIATION; ASSESSMENTS AND RESERVES. Each Purchaser, upon the
closing of the purchase by such Person of a Time-Share Interest, automatically
became a member of the applicable Time-Share Association, and is thereafter
entitled to remain a member of the Time-Share Association and be entitled to
vote on the affairs thereof, subject only to retaining ownership of a Time-Share
Interest. At all times throughout the Term: (a) the Time-Share Association will
have authority to levy annual assessments to cover the costs of maintaining and
operating the Time-Share Project; (b) to Borrower's knowledge, the Time-Share
Association will be solvent; (c) to Borrower's knowledge, levied assessments
will be adequate to cover the current costs of maintaining and operating the
Time-Share Project and to establish and maintain a reasonable reserve for
capital improvements; and (d) to Borrower's knowledge, there will be no events
which could give rise to a material increase in such costs, except for additions

assessments.

Purchasers in the Time-Share Program governing documents), free and clear of
liens and security interests except for the Permitted Encumbrances; (b) no part
of the Time-Share Project is or will be subject to partition by the owners of

representations and warranties and contained in this ARTICLE 5 are in addition
to, and not in derogation of, the representations and warranties contained

6. BORROWER'S COVENANTS
6.1 BORROWER'S AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.
(a) GOOD STANDING. Borrower will maintain its existence as a
business organization of the type described below when it has signed this
Agreement, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as the
type of organization identified in the Schedule as Borrower's Type of
Business Organization under the laws of the state identified in the
Schedule as State of Organization and remain in good standing and
authorized to do business in the jurisdiction where the Time-Share Project
is located and in each jurisdiction where Borrower is then selling
Time-Share Interests or where at any time the location or nature of its
properties or its business then makes such good standing and qualification
necessary. Borrower will maintain full authority to Perform the
Obligations and to carry on its business and own its property.
(b) COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. Borrower will comply with
all Legal Requirements in all material respects, including, without
limitation, all Legal Requirements of the state in which the Time-Share
Project is located and all other governmental jurisdictions in which the
Time-Share Project is located or in which Time-Share Interests will be
sold or offered for sale.
(c) INSURANCE. Borrower will pay the cost of and will maintain and
deliver to Lender evidence of insurance policies required by Lender which
cover such risks, are written by insurers and are in amounts and on forms
satisfactory to Lender. The foregoing notwithstanding, to the extent that
it is the responsibility of any Time-Share Association to
13
maintain insurance which is required by Lender, Borrower shall be
permitted to perform its obligations pursuant to this PARAGRAPH 6.1(c) by
delivering evidence to Lender confirming that the necessary insurance is
being maintained by such Time-Share Association; provided, however, that
with respect to any Time-Share Association as to which one or more
Borrower has the power to direct and control its activities, such Borrower
shall be responsible for providing satisfactory insurance in the event
such Time-Share Association has failed to do so.
(d) REPORTS.
(i) FINANCIAL INFORMATION. Commencing with the period ending
December 31, 1999, Borrower will furnish or cause to be furnished to
Lender within one hundred twenty (120) days after each fiscal year of the
subject, a copy of the current annual financial statements of Borrower and
of each Time-Share Association; and will furnish or cause to be furnished
to Lender within forty-five (45) days after each interim quarterly fiscal
period of the subject, a copy of the current financial statements of
Borrower for the period commencing with the first day of the fiscal year
and concluding with such quarter end. Such financial statements shall
contain a balance sheet as of the end of the relevant fiscal period and
statements of income and of cash flow for such fiscal period (together, in
each case, with the comparable figures for the corresponding period of the
previous fiscal year), all in reasonable detail. All financial statements
shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied. All financial statements of Borrower and
of each Time-Share Association shall be certified by the chief financial
officer of such entity. Annual statements of Borrower and of each
Time-Share Association shall be audited, certified by a recognized firm of
certified public accountants reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Anything
in this PARAGRAPH 6.1(D)(I) to the contrary notwithstanding, the following
two conventions shall be applied to Borrower's reporting obligations
hereunder. With respect to Borrower's required financial information
hereunder, Borrower shall be permitted to satisfy its reporting
obligations by providing a copy of Primary Borrower's consolidated
financial statements as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), as long as those reports are in compliance with
then existing SEC reporting requirements for publicly traded companies.
With respect to the financial information required to be provided for the
various Time-Share Associations, in the event that no Borrower is in
control of a given Time-Share Association, then Borrower's obligation to
provide the foregoing financial information shall only require Borrower to
use its reasonable good faith efforts to obtain and deliver to Lender the
information requested. In the event that Primary Borrower shall ever cease
to be a reporting company with the SEC, with the result that the financial
statements provided by Primary Borrower hereunder shall no longer be
Primary Borrower's consolidated financial statements as filed with the
SEC, then upon such occurrence Primary Borrower shall be obligated to
deliver to Lender, together with such financial statements as Primary
Borrower does deliver to Lender, a certificate signed by Borrower's chief
executive officer and chief financial officer stating that, to the best of
such person's knowledge, there exists no Event of Default or Incipient
Default or, if any such Event of Default or Incipient Default exists,
specifying the nature and period of its existence and what action Borrower
proposes to take with respect to it. Such certificate shall state
specifically that Borrower is in compliance with PARAGRAPHS 6.1(C), 6.2(B)
and 6.2(C), along with any required financial covenants. For purposes of
this paragraph, in the case of a partnership or limited liability company,
"CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER" of an entity shall mean the general partner,
member or manager having primary responsibility for the operations of such
entity; and "CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER" of such an entity shall mean the
general partner, member or manager having primary responsibility for the
finances of such entity.
(ii) LITIGATION. Borrower will promptly notify Lender if any
action, litigation or other proceeding becomes pending or, to Borrower's
knowledge, threatened before any arbitration tribunal, court, governmental
agency or administrative body against Borrower, which could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (exclusive of those items
which are related to an individual Time-Share Project and with respect to
which adequate insurance coverage [which has not been denied or reserved
against] exist, in the manner described in PARAGRAPH 5.4 hereof).
(iii) SALES REPORTS. On or before the fifteenth (15th) day
after the end of each month, Borrower will cause to be furnished to
Lender, if requested by Lender in writing, a sales report showing the
number of sales and closings of Time-Share Interests and the aggregate
dollar amount thereof, including down payments, during such month.
14
(iv) TIME-SHARE PROJECT AND SALES INFORMATION. Borrower will
deliver current price lists for Time-Share Interests to Lender from to
time to time within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a written
request from Lender to do so. Borrower will deliver to Lender from time to
time, as available and promptly upon amendment or effective date, upon
written request from Lender for such information, sales literature,
registrations/ consents to sell, and final public reports/public offering
statements/ prospectuses. Borrower will deliver to Lender, upon written
request from Lender for such information, any changes which Borrower
proposes or any other person having the power to do so proposes be made to
the Time-Share Program Governing Documents last delivered to Lender,
together with a description and explanation of the changes; and other
items requested by Lender which relate to the Time-Share Interests.
(v) RIGHT TO INSPECT. Borrower will at its expense permit
Lender and its representatives at all reasonable times to inspect the
Time-Share Project and to inspect, audit and copy Borrower's books and
records.
(vi) TIME-SHARE ASSOCIATION BUDGETS. Borrower will submit to
Lender (if the same had been requested by Lender in writing) within ten
(10) days after each is available, proposed annual maintenance and
operating budgets of the Time-Share Association, certified to be adequate
by the Time-Share Manager (or if there is not a Time-Share Manager, by an
authorized officer of the Time-Share Association) and a statement of the
annual assessment to be levied upon the owners of Time-Share Interests;
and will use reasonable good faith efforts to cause to be made available
to Lender for inspection, auditing and copying, upon Lender's request, the
books and records of the Time-Share Association.
(vii) MATERIAL INCREASES TO ASSESSMENTS. If Borrower has
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 Project and to establish and maintain a
reasonable reserve for capital improvements to the Time-Share Project, it
will notify Lender of the occurrence of such event.
(viii) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. Borrower will deliver to Lender
the reports and other information required pursuant to PARAGRAPH 3.3, and
Borrower will make available such further information as Lender may from
time to time reasonably request.
(e) [INTENTIONALLY NOT USED.]
(f) PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER IMPOSITIONS. Subject to the
provisions of PARAGRAPH 9.21, Borrower will file all tax returns and will
pay all Impositions, if any, required to be filed by it or paid by it,
including real estate taxes and assessments relating to the Time-Share
Project or the Collateral. Borrower will provide to Lender (if Lender has
requested in writing that Borrower provide such information) not more than
thirty (30) days after such Impositions required to be paid pursuant to
the preceding sentence become delinquent evidence that all Impositions
required to be paid pursuant to the preceding sentence on the Units and
Time-Share Project common areas and related amenities have been paid in
full.
(g) PAYMENT OF IMPOSITIONS. Borrower will promptly pay upon demand
all Impositions imposed upon Lender by any state of the United States or
political subdivision thereof or the United States by reason of the Loan
Documents, the Collateral and/or any sale, rental, use, delivery or
transfer of title to the Collateral, other than any tax measured by net
income payable by Lender 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 Loan 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 Inventory Loan
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 in full, and
Borrower will pay the 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)
Business 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 such sums so expended, together with interest at the
Default Rate.
(h) FURTHER ASSURANCE. Borrower will execute or cause to be executed
all
15
documents and do or cause to be done all acts reasonably necessary for
Lender to perfect or evidence and to continue the perfection of the liens
and security interest of Lender in the Collateral or otherwise to
reasonably effectuate the intent and purposes of the Loan Documents.
(i) FULFILLMENT OF OBLIGATIONS TO PURCHASERS. Borrower will fulfill,
and will cause its Affiliates, agents and independent contractors at all
times to fulfill, all their respective material obligations to Purchasers.
Borrower will Perform all of its material obligations under the Time-Share
Program Consumer Documents and the Time-Share Program Governing Documents.
(j) MATERIAL INCREASES TO ASSESSMENTS. Borrower (i) will use
reasonable good faith efforts to cause the Time-Share Association to (A)
discharge its obligations under the Time-Share Program Governing Documents
and (B) maintain a reasonable reserve for capital improvements to the
Time-Share Project; and (ii) so long as Borrower controls the Time-Share
Association, will cause each such Time-Share Association to maintain a
budget requiring the payment of dues and assessments which are designed,
on an annual basis, to make available sufficient funds to adequately
provide for the maintenance and operating expenses incurred by the
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 Time-Share Project and
related amenities, and in the event that, as a result of unexpected
contingencies, the amount budgeted in any given year fails to adequately
provide for the foregoing, Borrower shall cause such Time-Share
Association to take reasonable steps, either in the form of a special
assessment or through an increase in the annual assessment for upcoming
years, in order to make-up for any budgetary shortfalls.
(k) MAINTENANCE OF TIME-SHARE PROJECT AND OTHER PROPERTY. Borrower
will maintain or cause to be maintained in good condition and repair all
common areas in the Time-Share Project and other on-site amenities which
have been promised or represented as being available to Purchasers and
which are not the responsibility of the Time-Share Association to maintain
and repair and, to the extent owned by Borrower or an Affiliate of
Borrower, all portions of improvements in which Units are located and are
not part of the Time-Share Project. Borrower will maintain or cause the
Time-Share Association to maintain a reasonable reserve to assure
compliance with the terms of the foregoing sentence, to the extent that
Borrower is in control of the applicable Time-Share Association. In
applying the foregoing provision, Borrower shall be permitted to implement
the funding of necessary reserves on a staged basis, through increases in
applicable Time-Share Association dues over a period of one or more years,
as deemed appropriate by Borrower in its reasonable and prudent business
judgment, to the extent that such increases would reasonably be expected
to cause sufficient reserve amounts to be available on or before the date
the expenditure of funds from such reserves was anticipated to occur. In
the event Borrower is no longer in control of such Time-Share Association,
Borrower shall use reasonable good faith efforts to cause such Time-Share
Association to include within its budget a reasonable reserve to assure
compliance with the terms of this PARAGRAPH 6.1(K).
(l) MAINTENANCE OF LARGER TRACT. To the extent either the Time-Share
Project is part of a larger common ownership regime or planned development
or parts of buildings in which Units are located are not part of the
Time-Share Project, Borrower will pay its share of such common expenses as
has been allocated to the Inventory. Borrower will use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause all such property which is not part of the
Time-Share Project to be professionally managed in a first class manner.
(m) YEAR 2000. Borrower shall take all action reasonably believed to
be sufficient to assure that there will be no material adverse change to
Borrower's business by reason of the advent of the year 2000, including
without limitation that all computer-based systems, embedded microchips
and other processing capabilities effectively recognize and process dates
after April 1, 1999. At Lender's request, Borrower shall provide to Lender
assurance reasonably acceptable to Lender that Borrower's computer-based
systems, embedded microchips and other processing capabilities are year
2000 compatible.
(n) TANGIBLE NET WORTH. Primary Borrower shall maintain, on a
consolidated basis, Tangible Net Worth (as hereafter defined) in an amount
of not less than $170,000,000. "TANGIBLE NET WORTH" shall be defined as
Primary Borrower's stockholders' equity, on a consolidated basis, LESS the
amount of any intangible assets shown on Primary Borrower's consolidated
balance sheet. The foregoing covenant shall be tested quarterly,
commencing December 31, 1999, concurrently with the delivery of Primary
Borrower's quarterly and
16
annual financial information to the SEC, and on the basis of the financial
information reported to the SEC.
(o) LEVERAGE RATIO. Primary Borrower shall maintain, on a
consolidated basis, a ratio of total liabilities to Tangible Net Worth of
not greater than 6.0:1.0. The foregoing covenant shall be tested
quarterly, commencing December 31, 1999, simultaneously with, and on the
basis of, Primary Borrower's financial information as reported to the SEC.
(p) NET PROFIT MARGIN. Primary Borrower shall maintain, on a
consolidated basis, a "Net Profit Margin" (as hereafter defined) of at
least five percent (5%). "NET PROFIT MARGIN" shall be defined, for any
period of measurement, as Primary Borrower's consolidated net income
during such period divided by Primary Borrower's consolidated gross
revenue during the same period (with respect to the determination of both
net income and gross revenues, excluding the effect of any extraordinary
gains or losses and any other non-recurring items not in the ordinary
course of business, as determined in accordance with GAAP). The foregoing
covenant shall be tested quarterly, commencing December 31, 1999, on the
basis of the trailing two fiscal quarters most recently completed as of
each test date, on the basis of Primary Borrower's financial information
as reported to the SEC.
6.2 BORROWER'S NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

or chief executive office except upon not less than sixty (60) days prior

to sell unsold Inventory constituting a portion of the Collateral and to
obtain releases from Lender with respect to such sales, in accordance with
PARAGRAPH 3.2 hereof; (ii) permit or suffer to exist any liens, security
interests or other encumbrances on the Inventory, except for the Permitted
Encumbrances and liens and security interests expressly granted to Lender;

of its assets to another entity; or (iv) enter into any merger,
consolidation, or other form of corporate reorganization, unless Borrower
is the surviving corporation of such merger, consolidation or
reorganization. The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing in this PARAGRAPH
6.2(C) is intended to restrict or otherwise prohibit the ability of
Primary Borrower to cause any Affiliate to be merged with or into Primary
Borrower, as long as Primary Borrower is the surviving entity of such
merger.
(d) NO SALES ACTIVITIES PRIOR TO APPROVAL. Borrower will not sell
any Time-Share Interest or offer any Time-Share Interest for sale in any
jurisdiction, unless: (i) Borrower has delivered to Lender true and

by Lender that Borrower has complied in all material respects with the
Legal Requirements of such jurisdiction governing its proposed conduct;
and (ii) Borrower has delivered to Lender the Time-Share Program Consumer

Document. The foregoing notwithstanding, the following events shall not be
deemed a material modification to any Time-Share Program Governing
Document requiring the consent of Lender hereunder: (1) the addition of
Units to any Time-Share Program, to the extent such Units were
contemplated to be added in stages as an individual Time-Share Project was
developed, or (2) a conversion of all or a portion of the rights in a
given Time-Share Project from a structure in which such ownership rights
are characterized as Time-Share Interests which are identifiable to a
specific Unit and/or period of time to a structure in which such ownership
rights are characterized as "points" or other comparable form which may or
may not be identifiable to a specific Unit and/or period of time, in the
manner from time to time implemented by Borrower with respect to the
17
program that Primary Borrower refers to as "Club Sunterra," provided that
the resulting interests in each Time-Share Project constitute separately
identifiable and legally described direct ownership interests in real
property.
(f) MAINTENANCE OF LARGER TRACT. To the extent either the Time-Share
Project is part of a larger common ownership regime or planned development
or parts of buildings in which Units are located are not part of the
Time-Share Project, for the period during which Borrower is in control of
the larger common ownership regime or planned development, Borrower will
not permit common expenses to be allocated to the Time-Share Project in an
unreasonably disproportionate manner.

without being required to give a further notice of sale. Any such sale may

such order and manner as Lender may determine; and last, to the payment to
Borrower, its successors or assigns, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to

7.6 LENDER'S RIGHT TO PERFORM. Lender may, at its option, and without any
obligation to do so, pay, perform and discharge any and all obligations agreed

Event of Default exists and at least five (5) Business Day's notice has been
given to such person of Lender's intention to take such action, (ii) the action
taken by Lender involves obtaining insurance which such person has failed to

or (iii) in the opinion of Lender, such action must be taken because an
emergency exists or to preserve any of the Collateral or its value. For such
purposes Lender may use the proceeds of the Collateral. All amounts expended by
Lender in so doing or in exercising its remedies under the Loan Documents
following an Event of Default shall become part of the Obligations, shall be
immediately due and payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand, and shall bear
interest at the Default Rate from the dates of such expenditures until paid.
7.7 NON-EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES. No remedy in any Loan Document conferred on or
reserved to Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies,
but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other remedy given under any Loan Document or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity. No delay 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 MARSHALLING. 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, marshalled on any foreclosure, sale
or other enforcement of Lender's rights and remedies.
7.9 ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. For the purpose of exercising its rights and
remedies under PARAGRAPHS 7.2(c) and 7.6, Lender may do so in Borrower's name or
its name and is hereby appointed as Borrower's attorney-in-fact to take any and
all actions in Borrower's name and/or on Borrower's behalf as Lender may deem
necessary or appropriate in its discretion in the accomplishment of such
purposes.
8. COSTS AND EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION
8.1 COSTS AND EXPENSES. Borrower will pay on demand any and all costs and
expenses incurred by Lender (exclusive of Lender's employees' expenses other
than travel expenses) in connection with the initiation, documentation and
closing of the Inventory Loan, the making of Advances, the protection of the
Collateral, or the enforcement of the Obligations against Borrower, including,
without limitation, all attorneys', inspecting architect's/engineer's and other
professionals' fees (including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses and reasonable and normal charges of such attorneys' and other
professionals for photocopy, telecopy and computer services, and clerical
overtime), consumer credit reports, and revenue, documentary stamp, transaction
and intangible taxes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a
bankruptcy proceeding is commenced by or against Borrower or otherwise involving
the Collateral, Lender shall, to the extent not already provided for herein, be
entitled to recover, and Borrower shall be obligated to pay, Lender's attorneys'
fees and costs incurred in connection with: any determination of the
applicability of the bankruptcy laws to the terms of the Loan Documents or
Lender's rights thereunder; any attempt by Lender to enforce or preserve its
rights under the bankruptcy laws or to prevent Borrower or any other person from
seeking to deny Lender its rights thereunder; any effort by Lender to protect,
preserve or enforce its rights against the Collateral, or seeking authority to
modify the automatic stay of 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362 or otherwise seeking to
engage in such protection, preservation or enforcement; or any proceeding(s)
arising under the bankruptcy laws, or arising in or related to a case under the
bankruptcy laws.
8.2 INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower will INDEMNIFY, PROTECT, HOLD HARMLESS, and
defend Lender, its successors, assigns and shareholders (including corporate
shareholders), and the directors, officers, employees, servants and agents of
the foregoing, for, from and against: (a) any and all liability, damage,
penalties, or fines, loss, costs or expenses (including, without limitation,
court costs and attorneys' fees), claims, demands, suits, proceedings (whether
civil or criminal), orders, judgments, penalties, fines and other sanctions
whatsoever asserted against it and arising from or brought in connection with
the Time-Share Project, the Collateral, Lender's status by virtue of the Loan
Documents, creation of liens and security interests, the terms of the Loan
Documents or the transactions related thereto, or any act or omission of
Borrower or an Agent, or their respective employees or agents, whether actual or
alleged unless such act or omission is caused by Lender's gross negligence or
willful misconduct; and (b) any and all brokers' commissions or finders' fees or
other costs of similar type by any party in connection with the Inventory Loan.
Each Borrower and Lender hereby represents and warrants to
20
the other that neither such Person has engaged the services of a broker of any
other Person to act as an intermediary in connection with the Inventory Loan. On
written request by a person or other entity covered by the above agreement of
indemnity, Borrower will undertake, at its own cost and expense, on behalf of
such indemnitee, using counsel satisfactory to the indemnitee, the defense of
any legal action or proceeding to which such person or entity shall be a party.

action involving the priority, validity or enforceability of the Collateral.

in counterpart, and any number of copies of such Loan Document which have been
executed by all parties shall constitute one (1) original. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of any Loan Document by telefacsimile shall be equally as
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such Loan Document.

acknowledging that such Subsidiary Borrower maintains executive offices and
functions sufficient for the receipt of notice at the offices of Primary
Borrower.
9.6 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All the covenants of Borrower and all the
rights and remedies of the Lender contained in the Loan Documents shall bind
Borrower, and, subject to the restrictions on merger, consolidation and
assignment contained in the Loan Documents, its successors and assigns, and
shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns, whether so

invalid, illegal or unenforceable under present or future laws, the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. In lieu of each such
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added to the Loan
Document affected, a provision that is legal, valid and enforceable and as
similar in terms to such illegal, invalid and unenforceable provision as may be
possible.
9.8 TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence in the Performance of the

paragraph, clause or other subdivision; and reference to a numbered or lettered
subdivision of an Article or paragraph shall include relevant matter within the
Article or paragraph which is applicable to but not within such numbered or
lettered subdivision. All Schedules and Exhibits referred to in this Agreement
are incorporated in this Agreement by reference. Whenever the words "including",

immediately followed the same.

LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES THERETO
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE

INITIATES SUCH ACTION, ANY COURT IN WHICH LENDER SHALL INITIATE SUCH ACTION, AND
THE CHOICE OF SUCH VENUE SHALL IN ALL INSTANCES BE AT LENDER'S ELECTION; AND (B)
WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, HEREBY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT
TO ASSERT BY WAY OF MOTION, DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF
THE ABOVE-NAMED COURTS, THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN
INCONVENIENT FORUM OR THAT THE VENUE OF SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS
IMPROPER. EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO COLLATERALLY
ATTACK ANY JUDGMENT OR ACTION IN ANY OTHER FORUM.
9.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. LENDER AND BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT
ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT WOULD BE BASED UPON
DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES; AND THEREFORE, THEY AGREE THAT ANY LAWSUIT ARISING
OUT OF ANY SUCH CONTROVERSY SHALL BE TRIED BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY,
AND KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING.

9.14 COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE USURY LAW. It is the intent of the parties

RESPECT TO THE TIME-SHARE PROJECT, THE SALE OF TIME-SHARE INTERESTS OR
OTHERWISE, WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT OF LENDER.

TO ESTABLISH A PARTNERSHIP, AND THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL NOT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES BE CONSTRUED TO BE PARTNERS OR JOINT VENTURERS.
9.17 STANDARDS APPLIED TO LENDER'S ACTIONS. Unless otherwise specifically
stipulated elsewhere in the Loan Documents, if a matter is left in the Loan
Documents to the decision, requirement, request, determination, judgment,
opinion, approval, consent, satisfaction, acceptance, agreement, option or
discretion of Lender, its
22
employees, Lender's counsel or any agent for or contractor of Lender, such
action shall be deemed to be exercisable by Lender or such other person in its
sole and absolute discretion and according to standards established in its sole
and absolute discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
"OPTION" and "DISCRETION" shall be implied by use of the words "IF" or "MAY."

notice to the Borrower to grant participating interests in the Inventory Loan,
or to assign all or any portion of Lender's interest in and to the Inventory
Loan to any other Person acceptable to Lender, and may disclose to such other
Person all information relating to Borrower as Lender may deem appropriate in
connection with such sales or assignments, provided that Lender shall obtain
from the Person receiving any such information an agreement to be bound by and
abide with such confidentiality provisions as are then binding upon Lender. The
foregoing notwithstanding, in the event Lender sells participating interests in
the Inventory Loan to any other Persons, Lender shall continue to serve as the
lender with responsibility for administration of the Inventory Loan, shall
continue to be the notice party for purposes of the giving of notices by
Borrower, and shall be responsible for disseminating financial and other
information received from Borrower to each participating lender.

others not admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of
a licensed attorney, and the expenses (including, without limitation, normal and
customary charges for telecopy and photocopy services and clerical overtime)
incurred by them in the performance of their services. As used in the Loan
Documents, attorneys' fees incurred by Lender in the enforcement of any remedy
or covenant include, without limitation, attorneys' fees incurred in any
foreclosure of the Security Documents, in protecting or sustaining the lien or
priority of the Collateral, or in any proceeding arising from or connected with
any such matter, including any bankruptcy, receivership, injunction or other
similar proceeding, or any appeal from or petition for review of any such
matter, and with or without litigation.
9.20 PUBLICITY. Lender is hereby authorized to cause a tombstone to be
published announcing the consummation of this transaction and the aggregate
amount thereof. Borrower consents to such advertising and authorizes Lender to
use Borrower's name, logo, insignia, descriptive art work, trade name,
trademark, or other similar material, whether or not protected by copyright (or
otherwise), in any such advertisement. The foregoing notwithstanding, Lender
shall not issue any press releases concerning this transaction without Primary
Borrower's prior written approval as to the content of such releases, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned, or unduly delayed.

the contrary, after prior written notice to Lender, Borrower at its expense may
contest, by appropriate legal or other proceedings conducted in good faith and
with due diligence, the amount or validity of any tax, Imposition, Legal
Requirement or any monetary lien on the Collateral, so long as: (a) in the case
of an unpaid Imposition or lien, such proceedings suspend the collection thereof
from Borrower and the Collateral, and shall not interfere with the payment of
any monies due under the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Security
Documents; (b) none of the Collateral is, in the judgment of Lender, in any
imminent danger of being sold, forfeited or lost; (c) in the case of a Legal
Requirement, neither Borrower nor Lender is in any danger of any civil or
criminal liability for failure to comply therewith; and (d) Borrower has
furnished such security, if any, as may be required in the proceedings or as

amount in controversy.

Time-Share Units which are valued and sold on a points basis (which program
Primary Borrower currently refers to as "Club Sunterra"), such points must
continue to qualify as "Time-Share Interests" as defined herein, and Lender must
be satisfied with the systems and procedures by which Borrowers (1) assure that
points sold are adequately supported by available and completed Units and unsold
Time-Share Interest and (2) calculate the number of points to be assigned to
each unsold Time-Share Interest contributed as Eligible Inventory hereunder. In
the event Borrowers' systems and procedures are not satisfactory to Lender,
Lender reserves the right, in its discretion, to require a quarterly third party
audit, to be conducted at Borrowers' expense, to assure that all points sold and
credited to purchasers are adequately supported by completed Units and unsold
Time-Share Interests therein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that for so long as no Event of
Default exists and is continuing, in no event shall the total expense of such
quarterly audits which Borrower is required to bear exceed $7,500 during any
calendar quarter.
