------- ----------------
2. LOAN COMMITMENT; USE OF PROCEEDS
2.1 Inventory Loan Commitment; Determination of Advance Amounts. (a)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Lender hereby agrees, if Borrower has Performed all of the Obligations then due,
to 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 Primary 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 either Borrowing Base, the maximum
amount of such Advance shall not exceed the applicable Borrowing Base amount
directly attributable to such new Inventory.
(b) With respect to each Supplemental Collateral Advance, in addition to
the requirements of paragraph 2.1(a) above, Borrowers shall have encumbered
----------------
Designated Supplemental Collateral which, after giving effect to the amount of
such Supplemental Collateral Advance, is sufficient to cause the Supplemental
Borrowing Base to equal or exceed the Supplemental Borrowing Base Maintenance
Requirement. The foregoing notwithstanding, in no event is the Supplemental
Borrowing Base required to exceed $25,000,000.
(c) 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).
(d) In addition, Borrowers shall not be entitled to borrow any amount at
any time subject to the Construction Reserve until the requirements of paragraph
---------
6.2(e) have been satisfied.
------
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.
2.3 Continuation of Obligations Throughout Term. Whether or not
-------------------------------------------
Borrower's right to obtain Advances has terminated, this Agreement and
Borrower's liability for Performance of the Obligations
7
shall continue until the end of the Term and the repayment in full of the
Obligations.
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 Notes and shall be repaid in immediately available funds according to the
terms of the Notes and this Agreement.
2.6 Interest. Except as otherwise provided in the Notes 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 Primary
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 Completed Project 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 Completed Project 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 Completed Project Inventory involved,
and the average actual sales price realized upon sales of Eligible
Completed Project Inventory shall become the new Retail Value with respect
to the particular Time-Share Project in which such Eligible Completed
Project Inventory was sold. The foregoing notwithstanding, no revaluation
shall take place with respect to any Eligible Completed Project 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 Completed Project
Inventory from such Time-
8
Share Project was contributed to the applicable Borrowing Base, and as a
result thereof either a Borrowing Base Shortfall is created or the
Supplemental Borrowing Base falls below the Supplemental Borrowing Base
Maintenance Requirement, then Borrower shall either comply with the Primary
Borrowing Base maintenance requirements of paragraph 2.7(b) above or shall
----------------
contribute additional Designated Supplemental Collateral in an amount
sufficient to maintain the Supplemental Borrowing Base at a level greater
than or equal to the Supplemental Borrowing Base Maintenance Requirement,
whichever is applicable.
(d) Changes in Inventory Classification. At such time as any Project
-----------------------------------
Inventory Under Construction has been completed and has received the
Minimum Required Time-Share Approvals, such Inventory shall be reclassified
as Completed Project Inventory for purposes of computing the Primary
Borrowing Base hereunder, in which case a Retail Value for such Completed
Project Inventory shall be established in accordance with this Agreement.
In like manner, at such time as any Borrower has obtained the Minimum
Required Construction Approvals and commenced project development upon any
property constituting Land Inventory, such Inventory shall be reclassified
as Project Inventory Under Construction. Upon any reclassification of
Inventory, the applicable Borrowing Base and its component parts (i.e., the
Completed Project Borrowing Base, Project Under Construction Borrowing
Base, and Land Borrowing Base) shall be recalculated, for purposes of
determining whether any Borrowing Base Shortfall then exists, or whether
the Supplemental Borrowing Base Maintenance Requirement exceeds the
Supplemental Borrowing Base. In order to provide Borrowers the benefit, in
the calculation of the Project Under Construction Borrowing Base, of
additional investment made by Borrowers in Project Inventory Under
Construction, Borrowers shall be entitled to revalue the Project Under
Construction Borrowing Base from time to time, provided that such
revaluations shall occur not more often than once per month, and shall
result in a minimum increase in the Project Under Construction Borrowing
Base of at least $1,000,000. In addition to the foregoing, Borrowers can
reclassify Designated Supplemental Collateral as Primary Borrowing Base
Collateral subject to the contribution of new Designated Supplemental
Collateral in an amount sufficient to maintain the Supplemental Borrowing
Base at a level greater than or equal to the Supplemental Borrowing Base
Maintenance Requirement.
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. Borrower shall have the option to prepay the Inventory
Loan in full, but not in part, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice and
conditioned on the payment of a prepayment premium equal to five percent (5%)
(the "Prepayment Premium") of the outstanding principal balance of the Inventory
------------------
Loan as of the date notice of prepayment is given to Lender. The foregoing to
the contrary notwithstanding, neither any principal payments required pursuant
to paragraphs 2.7 or 3.2 hereof, nor the payments required to have taken place
---------------------
on or before the Principal Reduction Dates in order to cause the outstanding
principal balance of the Inventory Loan to be reduced below the applicable
Maximum Inventory Loan Amount, shall be considered prepayments which are
prohibited hereby, and no Prepayment Premium shall be required in connection
with any such payments, nor shall any prepayment resulting from the application
of (i) insurance proceeds following an insured casualty, or (ii) condemnation
proceeds in the event any portion of the Inventory is condemned, or (iii) the
payment of the applicable Release Fee upon the sale or other disposition of any
Project as a whole, be considered prepayments which are prohibited hereby or as
to which any Prepayment Premium is required.
2.9 Loan Fee; Administrative Fee; Warrants.
--------------------------------------
(a) Loan Fee. Borrower will pay to Lender the Loan Fee in accordance
--------
with the requirements set forth in the Schedule. The Loan Fee was earned
by Lender upon distribution of the first draft of this Agreement, and is
non-refundable.
(b) 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.
--------------------
(c) Warrant. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this
-------
Agreement, Primary Borrower shall deliver to Lender a warrant agreement
(the "Warrant"), in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, entitling
-------
Lender to purchase 500,000 shares of Primary Borrower's common stock, at
any time for a period commencing with the Effective Date and expiring on
the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, at a purchase price of $3.00
per share. The
9
Warrant shall include, without limitation, demand registration rights,
piggy-back registration rights, and anti-dilution provisions, and shall
otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.
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.
3. SECURITY
3.1 Grant of Security Interest in Collateral. To secure the Performance
----------------------------------------
of all of the Obligations, together with the Performance of all obligations of
any Borrower to Lender arising in connection with the Warehouse Loan, 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
Primary 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 applicable
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. (a) Primary Borrowing Base. Borrower shall
--------------------- ----------------------
be entitled to sell or
10
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 applicable Mortgage in favor of Lender without payment of a release
fee, or to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral through the sale of a
Project as a whole 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 (the "Release Fee") (all Release
-----------
Fees paid under this Agreement shall apply against the outstanding principal
balance of the Inventory Loan), in an amount, (I) with respect to all Completed
Project Inventory, equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Retail Value which
was allocated to such item of Inventory at the time such item of Completed
Project Inventory was designated as Eligible Completed Project Inventory
hereunder and contributed to the Primary Borrowing Base, and (II) with respect
to either Land Inventory or Project Inventory Under Construction, which is
sufficient, after giving effect to the release of such Inventory, to avoid the
creation of a Borrowing Base Shortfall; 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.
(b) Supplemental Borrowing Base. Borrowers shall not be entitled to the
---------------------------
release of any Designated Supplemental Collateral except in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph 3.2(b). Provided that no Event of Default or
----------------
Incipient Default exists, Borrowers (i) may replace Designated Supplemental
Collateral by contributing new Designated Supplemental Collateral, and may
obtain the release of a Project previously constituting Designated Supplemental
Collateral, provided that after giving effect to such substitution, the
Supplemental Borrowing Base remains equal to or greater than the Supplemental
Borrowing Base Maintenance Requirement; and (ii) may obtain the release of
certain Designated Supplemental Collateral in the context of a sale or other
disposition of any Project as a whole, or in the context of the sale or other
disposition of individual Time-Share Interests, provided that (A) Borrowers pay
a Release Fee in an amount equal to the difference between (I) the amount which
such Designated Supplemental Collateral originally added to the Supplemental
Borrowing Base less (II) the amount, if any, by which the Supplemental Borrowing
Base exceeds the Supplemental Borrowing Base Maintenance Requirement; and (B)
after giving effect to the release of such Designated Supplemental Collateral
and payment of such Release Fee, the Supplemental Borrowing Base equals or
exceeds the Supplemental Borrowing Base Maintenance Requirement.
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 Project which makes up a part of
----------------------
the Eligible Inventory upon which such request for an Advance is based, or in
which any Time-Share Interests or other Collateral proposed to be released is
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
Completed Project Inventory, Eligible Project Inventory Under Construction, and
Land Inventory contributed by such Persons, with separate sections identifying
Eligible Completed Project Inventory, Eligible Project Inventory Under
Construction, and Land Inventory contributed by each individual Project).
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.

Project (the foregoing notwithstanding, in the event Lender funds an
Advance under the Inventory Loan upon the basis of an opinion delivered to
Lender as to which Lender has not specifically reserved the right to
require additional opinions or to have such opinion otherwise be
supplemented, then such opinion shall be deemed acceptable regardless of
whether each item included within the description of Minimum Opinion
Matters has been addressed therein);
(vi) the Third Party Consents, if any;
(vii) a request for the first Inventory Loan Advance in form

by clauses (viii) - (xi) and (xiv) - (xvii) shall only be applicable to
Completed Project Inventory):

Collateral, Lender shall accept a Title Policy including an exception for
mechanics' or materialmens' liens, provided that Borrower has reaffirmed
the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph 5.16 as to the
--------------
applicable Project, and in reliance upon Borrowers' affirmative covenant as
set forth in paragraph 6.1(e) hereof.
----------------
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 Projects,
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 and after giving effect to those items disclosed on
Schedule 5.1 attached hereto which, for purposes of applying this provision
------------
following the Effective Date, shall not consider any change or circumstance
which took place or existed prior to the Effective Date and had been
---
disclosed to Lender in writing on or before the Effective Date), 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

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
14
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

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

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

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 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

the state in which the Project is located and (b) all other governmental
jurisdictions in which either (i) the

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

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

causes it to believe that it will be unable to timely perform those obligations.

will be adequate to cover the current costs of maintaining and operating the

------------------------------------------------------
otherwise permitted and disclosed by the Time-Share Program Governing Documents:

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

either to the Primary Borrowing Base or the Supplemental Borrowing Base,
Borrowers hereby represent and warrant that as of the time any such Project is
contributed, there are no outstanding mechanics', materialmen's or other
artisan's liens, and that there is no Person who would be entitled to file any
such lien claim except for those Persons who have performed services and whose
invoices are not past their due date.

--------------------------------
(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 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 Project is located and all
other governmental jurisdictions in which the 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 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
17
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 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). The foregoing
-------------
notwithstanding, with respect to any lawsuit involving a shareholder class
action against Primary Borrower, or seeking to establish or confirm a class
of shareholders for purposes of pursuing a shareholder class action against
Primary Borrower, Primary Borrower shall only be required to notify Lender
as of the fifteenth (15th) and last day of each month with respect to any
such lawsuits filed subsequent to the last such report provided by Primary
Borrower.
(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.
(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 each
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
18
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) Correction of Construction Liens. In the event that any
--------------------------------
mechanics', materialmen's or other artisan's liens (herein, the
"Construction Liens") are at any time filed or recorded against any Project
Inventory Under Construction, Borrowers shall promptly either (i) cause all
such liens to be paid in full and released; (ii) provide Lender with a
Title Policy or an endorsement to an existing Title Policy confirming the
priority of the lien of Lender's Mortgage over the priority of any such
Construction Liens; (iii) provide to Lender a bond or other form of
assurance, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, assuring against
the foreclosure of any such Construction Liens; or (iv) deliver substitute
Collateral in favor of Lender in replacement of any Collateral subject to
such Construction Liens and in an amount sufficient to preserve the Primary
Borrowing Base or the Supplemental Borrowing Base Maintenance Requirement,
as applicable. In the event that any such Construction Liens at any time
are recorded, unless Borrower has effected one of the above remedies within
ten (10) days following the date such liens are recorded, Lender shall
create a Construction Reserve in an amount equal to the amount of the lien
claims.
(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 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.
19
(h) Further Assurance. Borrower will execute or cause to be executed
-----------------
all 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.

20
maintain, on a consolidated basis, Tangible Net Worth in an amount of not
less than $150,000,000. "Tangible Net Worth" shall be defined as Primary
------------------
Borrower's stockholders' equity, on a consolidated basis, less the amount

December 31, 1999, concurrently with the delivery of Primary Borrower's
quarterly and 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

test as of September 30, 2000, and thereafter 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 June 30, 2000, 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.

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

------
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

withheld.
(e) No Modification of Time-Share Documents. Borrower will not cancel
---------------------------------------
or
21
materially modify, or consent to or suffer to exist any cancellation or
material modification of any Time-Share Program Governing 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 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.

in addition to, and not in derogation of, the covenants contained elsewhere in
the Loan Documents and shall be deemed to be made and reaffirmed prior to the
making of each Advance.

(h) any party holding a lien on or security interest in any Collateral
commences
22
foreclosure or similar sale thereof, unless Borrower causes such proceeding

Collateral at issue;
(i) a material adverse change in any Project, the Collateral or the
business or financial condition of Borrower, which change is not enumerated
in this paragraph 7.1, as the result of which Lender in good xxxxx xxxxx

(l) failure of Lender to receive from Borrower, within thirty (30)

available a $100,000,000 receivables conduit facility to Primary Borrower;
provided, however, that the failure of Primary Borrower to have closed all

of the foregoing facilities by the date specified shall not constitute an
Event of Default hereunder if the foregoing facilities fail to close by the
date specified either (x) as the result of reasons within Lender's control
but not under the control of Primary Borrower or (y) because Lender
declines to approve funding of any of the foregoing facilities (or, with
respect to the conduit facility described in clause (iii) above, as to
those terms for the conduit facility that are not yet specified in Lender's
proposal letter to Primary Borrower, Lender approves such facility on
economic terms materially less favorable to Primary Borrower
23
than are otherwise available to Primary Borrower from other sources), in
which event Primary Borrower shall have a period of one hundred twenty
(120) days from the date Lender indicates its unwillingness to approve any
such facility (or, with respect to the conduit facility described above,
approves such facility on economic terms, as to presently unspecified
items, that Primary Borrower notifies Lender Primary Borrower believes are
materially less favorable to it than are otherwise available) to close the

(a) cease to make further Advances;
(b) declare the Notes, together with all other sums owing by Borrower
to Lender in connection with the Inventory Loan, immediately due and
payable without notice, presentment, demand or protest, which are hereby
waived by Borrower;
(c) proceed to protect and enforce its rights and remedies under the
Loan Documents and to foreclose or otherwise realize upon its security for
the Performance of the Obligations, or to exercise any other rights and
remedies available to it at law, in equity or by statute; and
(d) without notice to Borrower, have a receiver appointed for Borrower
and/or its property.
7.3 Application of Proceeds During an Event of Default. Notwithstanding
--------------------------------------------------
anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, while an Event of Default

Collateral may be applied to payment of the Obligations in the manner provided
in paragraph 7.5.
-------------
7.4 Uniform Commercial Remedies; Sale.
---------------------------------
(a) UCC Remedies; Sale of Collateral. Lender shall have all of the
--------------------------------
rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of
the State of Arizona and of the state in which the applicable Collateral is
situated, and all other rights and remedies accorded to a Secured Party at
equity or law with respect to that portion of the Collateral not consisting
of an interest in real property. Any notice of sale or other disposition
of such non-real property Collateral given not less than ten (10) days
prior to such proposed action in connection with the exercise of Lender's
rights and remedies shall constitute reasonable and fair notice of such
action. Lender may postpone or adjourn any such sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place of sale stated on the notice of sale or
by announcement of any adjourned sale, without being required to give a
further notice of sale. Any such sale may be for cash or, unless
prohibited by applicable law, upon such credit or installment as Lender may
determine. Borrower shall be credited with the net proceeds of such sale
only when such proceeds are actually received by Lender in good current
funds. Despite the consummation of any such sale, Borrower shall remain
liable for any deficiency on the Obligations which remains outstanding
following such sale. All net proceeds recovered pursuant to a sale shall
be applied in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 7.5.
-------------
(b) Lender's Right to Execute Conveyances. Lender may, in the name of
-------------------------------------
Borrower or in its own name, make and execute all conveyances, assignments
and transfers of the Collateral sold in connection with the exercise of
Lender's rights and remedies, and Lender is hereby appointed Borrower's
attorney-in-fact for this purpose.
7.5 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of all or any part
-----------------------
of the Collateral made in connection with the exercise of Lender's rights and
remedies shall be applied in the following order of priorities; first, to the
payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, including without limitation,
reasonable compensation to Lender and its agents, attorneys' fees, and all other
expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by Lender, its agents and
attorneys, in connection with such sale, and any other unreimbursed expenses for
which Lender may be reimbursed pursuant to the Loan Documents; second, to the
payment of all late charges required by the Loan Documents to be paid by
Borrower, in such order and manner as Lender shall in its
24
discretion determine; third, to the payment of the Obligations, in such order
and manner as Lender shall in its discretion determine, with no amounts applied
to payment of principal until all interest has been paid; fourth, to the other
Obligations in 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 receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.
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
to be paid or Performed in the Loan Documents by Borrower or any surety for the
Performance of the Obligations if (a) such person fails to do so and (b) (i) an
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
maintain in accordance with the Loan Documents or to deliver evidence thereof,
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
----------------- ---

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.

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

other costs of similar type by any party in connection with the Inventory Loan.
Each Borrower and Lender hereby represents and warrants to 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. At
Lender's option, Lender may at Borrower's expense prosecute or defend any action
involving the priority, validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents
or Lender's lien on or security interest in any of the Collateral.

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

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

which the Time-Share Interest(s) are owned and the amenities that have been
promised to the Purchasers (and to prospective purchasers) have been completed
(taking into account the dates upon which any such amenities have been promised

represented to the Purchasers, has passed), fully furnished and approved and
ready for occupancy and the furnishings in those Units are free of any lien
except for the Permitted Encumbrances; no Unit or other part of the common areas

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 Completed
Project 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,
