ARTICLE 2 - ADVANCES OF THE LOAN
2.1 Agreement of Lender. Concurrently with the recording of
the Mortgage, Lender shall advance the amount of the Acquisition Loan to
Borrower. Subject to the conditions hereof, and provided that there exists no
Default and no Event of Default, Lender will make Advances to Borrower in the
aggregate maximum amount of the Renovation Loan in accordance with this Loan
Agreement. Lender shall be obligated to make such Advances only in the maximum
amount of the Renovation Loan. In addition, Lender shall not be obligated to
make an Advance if at any time the combined outstanding balance of the
Acquisition Note, the Renovation Note and the promissory note given by Borrower
to Lender pursuant to the Interval Receivables Loan would exceed Fifteen Million
Dollars and No/100 ($15,000,000.00) in the aggregate if such Advance were made
by Lender. The term of the Acquisition Loan and the Renovation Loan shall be for
thirty-six (36) months from the date hereof. The Advances under the Renovation
Loan shall be drawn by Borrower within eighteen (18) months of the date hereof.
Further, unless an Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, Lender shall
grant partial releases as provided in the Mortgage.
2.2 Interest on the Loan. Interest on the Loan, at the rate
or rates specified in the Acquisition and Renovation Notes, shall be computed on
the unpaid principal balance which exists from time to time and shall be
computed with respect to each Advance only from the date of such Advance. Such
interest on the Loan shall be paid by Borrower to Lender on a monthly basis as
provided in the applicable note. As a courtesy, Lender's practice is to send out
monthly billing statements on or about the twentieth (20th) day of the month
prior to the month in which such payment is due; however, the failure of Lender
to send out such a billing statement shall not relieve Borrower of its
obligation to pay interest in accordance with the applicable notes.
2.3 Advances. Advances pursuant to the Renovation Loan shall
be made by Lender as specified in the Approved Budget, upon compliance by
Borrower with this Loan Agreement. From time to time, Borrower shall submit an
Application for an Advance to Lender requesting an Advance for the reimbursement
of payment of costs of labor, materials, and services supplied for the
renovation of the Improvements, as specified in the Approved Budget, or for the
payment of other costs and expenses incident to the Loan. Borrower shall not
submit Applications for an Advance more than two times per month, and each
Application for Advance shall be for an amount not less than One Hundred
Thousand Dollars and No/100 ($100,000.00). Advances shall be limited to the
amounts shown in corresponding line items in the Approved Budget and shall not
exceed the aggregate of (a) the costs of labor, materials, and services
incorporated in to the Improvements in a manner acceptable to Lender, plus (b)
the purchase price of all uninstalled materials to be utilized in the renovation
of the Improvements and to be stored on the Property, less (c) all prior
Advances for payment of costs of labor, materials, and services for the
renovation of the Improvements. Each Advance shall be issued by Lender within
ten (10) days after Lender's receipt of Borrower's Application for Advance,
provided Borrower is in compliance with conditions to such Advance set forth
herein. In addition to the conditions set forth below, Lender's obligation to
make Advances shall be subject to the receipt by Lender, on a monthly basis, of
reports from Lender's Inspecting Architects/Engineers certifying that the
Improvements are on schedule under the Approved Completion Schedule(s) and are
in compliance with the Approved Budget and the Plans, as applicable.

(d) There shall then exist no Default or Event of
Default;
(e) The representations and warranties made in this Loan
Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the

discretion to be materially adverse, Lender may refuse to make the requested

releases or waivers of mechanics' liens from any independent third parties
providing labor, materials or supplies for construction or renovation of the
Improvements, (ii) copies of checks, paid bills or invoices and purchase orders

Improvements covered by the Application for Advance;
(g) The Title Insurance shall be endorsed and extended to
the date of such Advance to cover each Advance with no additional title
exception objectionable to Lender;

(e) Evidence in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Lender that all Improvements are in compliance with the accessibility
requirements of the federal Fair Housing Act, the federal Americans with
Disabilities Act, and applicable provisions of Colorado law.
(f) The Title Insurance shall be endorsed and extended to
the date of the final Advance with no additional exception objectionable to
Lender.
2.6 Changes in Plans and Specifications, Approved Budget or
Approved Construction Schedule. Without the prior written approval of Lender
there shall be no change in the Plans or the Approved Budget which would (i)
either increase or decrease the cost of the Improvements individually more than
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), (ii) together with costs associated
with prior changes in the Plans or the Approved Budget result in an increase in
the total costs of changes in the Plans or in the Approved Budget over Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), (iii) affect the structural components of the
Improvements; or (iv) cause the estimated time to complete the Improvements to
extend beyond the Improvements Completion Date as set forth in the Approved
Construction Schedule and neither the Plans nor the Approved Budget shall be
modified in any way which would detract from the value of the Improvements.
Requested changes shall be submitted to Lender for approval on a form acceptable
to Lender accompanied by a copy of the plans and specifications or a revised
budget applicable to the changes. Such changes must, prior to being effective,
be duly approved by Lender and all other persons required by Lender. Lender
shall review and approve or disapprove any such change request within ten (10)
days after receipt of such written request from Borrower. Lender is under no
duty to inform Borrower of the quality or suitability of the Plans or any
amendment or alteration thereto. As a condition to any such approval, Lender may
require, in its sole discretion, confirmation satisfactory to Lender of the cost
increase, if any, which would result from performance of the work contemplated
under such change, and if it appears that performance of such work shall result
in such an increase, Lender may, in its sole discretion, condition its approval
upon a Borrower's Deposit of the amount of such increase or other evidence
satisfactory to Lender in its discretion that Borrower has the funds necessary
to provide for such cost increase. Without the prior written approval of the
Lender, there shall be no change in the Approved Construction Schedule which
change would extend the final Improvements Completion Date or any interim
Improvements Completion Date by more than thirty (30) days. Lender shall review
and approve or disapprove any such requested change within ten (10) days after
Lender's receipt of such written request from Borrower. Except as restricted
herein, Borrower may make changes to the Plans or the Approved Budget or
Approved Construction Schedule upon written
notice to Lender of such change.
2.7 No Waiver. No Advance shall constitute a waiver of any
condition precedent to the obligation of Lender to make any further Advance or
preclude Lender from thereafter declaring the failure of Borrower to satisfy
such condition precedent to be an Event of Default.
2.8 Conditions Precedent for the Benefit of Lender. All
conditions precedent to the obligation of Lender to make any Advance are imposed
hereby solely for the benefit of Lender, and no other party may require
satisfaction of any such condition precedent or be entitled to assume that
Lender will refuse to make any Advance in the absence of strict compliance with
such conditions precedent. All requirements of this Loan Agreement agreed to by
Borrower and for the benefit of Lender may be waived by Lender, in whole or in
part, at any time.

Governmental Requirements, Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice
thereof.
4.3 Renovation of the Improvements. Borrower shall commence
renovation of the Improvements on or before the Commencement Date and the
renovation of the Improvements shall be prosecuted with diligence and

4.4 Correction of Defects. Borrower shall correct or cause to
be corrected (a) any defect in the Improvements, (b) any material departure in
the renovation of the Improvements from the Plans, Governmental Requirements,
covenants, conditions and restrictions, if applicable, or (c) any encroachment
by any part of the Improvements, or any structure located on the Property, on
any easement, property line, or restricted area, or any encroachment by any such
structure on any building line.
4.5 Storage of Materials. Borrower shall cause all materials
supplied for, or intended to be utilized in, the renovation of the Improvements,
but not affixed to or incorporated into the Improvements or the Property, to be

projects.
4.6 Inspection of the Property. Borrower shall permit Lender,
and its agents and repre sentatives, to enter upon the Property and any location

are stored, for the purpose of inspection of the Property and such materials at

true and complete copies of any notice or claim by any Governmental
13
20
Authority pertaining to the Property. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of
any fire or other casualty or any notice of taking or eminent domain action or
proceeding affecting the Property, or the threat of any such action or
proceeding of which Borrower becomes aware.
Provided no Event of Default then exists and Borrower
certifies as to same, the net insurance proceeds shall be paid to Lender but
shall be made available by Lender for the restoration or repair of the Property
if (i) in Lender's reasonable judgment: (a) restoration or repair and the
continued operation of the Resort Property is economically feasible, and (b) the
value of Lender's security is not reduced; (ii) the cost of restoration or
repair does not exceed the net insurance proceeds or Borrower or the Association
shall provide a Borrower's Deposit or other evidence satisfactory to Lender in
its sole discretion that Borrower or the Association can pay all costs of
restoration in excess of such net insurance proceeds; (iii) the loss does not
occur in the six (6) month period preceding the Maturity Date as defined in the
Acquisition Note and the Renovation Note; (iv) Borrower has sufficient business
interruption insurance to provide alternative accommodations for all owners or
users of Interval Units at the Resort Property affected by such casualty loss;
and (v) Lender's Inspecting Architects/Engineers certify that the restoration of
the Property can be completed at least ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity
Date. Borrower or the Association shall pay all amounts, in addition to the net
insurance proceeds, necessary to pay in full the cost of the restoration or
repair.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a condition
precedent to any disbursement of insurance proceeds held by Lender hereunder
that Lender shall have approved (x) all plans and specifications for any
proposed repair or restoration; (y) the construction schedule; and (z) the
architect's and general contractor's contracts for restoration. Lender may
establish other conditions it deems reasonably necessary to assure the work is
fully completed in a good and workerlike manner free of all liens or claims by
reason thereof, and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations. At Lender's option, the net insurance proceeds shall be disbursed
pursuant to a construction escrow acceptable to Lender. If an Event of Default
then exists, or any of the conditions set forth in this subsection have not been
met or satisfied, the net insurance proceeds (after deduction of Lender's
reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in collecting same) shall be applied to
the Loan in such order and manner as Lender may elect, whether or not due and
payable, with any excess paid to Borrower.
The proceeds of any award, payment or claim for damages,
direct or consequential, in connection with any condemnation or other taking of
any Interval Unit or any portion of the Property, or for conveyances in lieu of
condemnation, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender. Lender is
authorized (but is under no obligation) to collect any such proceeds. The
proceeds of any such award shall be made available by Lender for repair or
restorations of the Property in the same manner and upon the same conditions as
those set forth above for net insurance proceeds.
Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, for so long
as any part of the Property is subject to the Declaration of CCRs, any and all
insurance proceeds arising from any damage or destruction to the Property and
any and all awards and payments with respect to condemnation or conveyances in
lieu thereof received by Lender shall be delivered and paid out by Lender to the
insurance trustee under the Declaration of CCRs, to be distributed and used in
accordance with the provisions of the Declaration of CCRs.
4.8 Application of Advances. Borrower shall apply all
Advances for reimbursement of costs and expenses specified in the Approved
Budget, and for no other purpose.
4.9 Borrower's Deposit. In accordance with Sections 2.6 and
4.7 above, Lender may require a Borrower's Deposit to be made which Lender shall
place in an interest bearing account and disburse in accordance with Sections
2.6 or 4.7 as applicable.
4.10 Direct Disbursement and Application by Lender. Upon an
Event of Default hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to disburse and directly apply the proceeds of any Advance or the unadvanced
balance of the Loan to the satisfaction of any of Borrower's obligations
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Instruments. Any Advance by Lender for
such purpose, except Borrower's Deposit, shall be part of the Loan and
14
21
shall be secured by the Loan Instruments. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to
hold, use, disburse, and apply the Loan and the Borrower's Deposit, if any, for
payment of costs of renovation of the Improvements, reasonable expenses incident
to the Loan and the Property, and the payment or performance of any obligation
of Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Loan Instruments. Borrower
hereby assigns and pledges the proceeds of the Loan and the Borrower's Deposit
to Lender for such purposes. Upon an Event of Default, Lender may advance and
incur such Costs as Lender reasonably deems necessary for the completion of
renovation of the Improvements and to preserve the Property, and any other
security for the Loan, and such Costs, even though in excess of the amount of
the Loan, shall be secured by the Loan Instruments and payable to Lender.
4.11 Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay when due all costs
and expenses required by this Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, (a)
all taxes and assessments applicable to the Property, (b) all fees for filing or
recording the Loan Instruments, (c) all fees and commissions lawfully due to

salesmen or agents in connection with the Loan) (d) all reasonable fees and
expenses, including the cost of the Survey, (e) all premiums for the Insurance
Policies, and (f) all other costs and expenses payable to third parties incurred
by Borrower in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Loan Agreement.

to Lender, from time to time as requested by Lender, such other documents as
shall reasonably be necessary to provide the rights and remedies to Lender
granted or provided for by the Loan Instruments.

Lender at all reasonable times, upon five (5) days advance written notice to
Borrower, to examine and copy the books and records of Borrower pertaining to
the Loan and the Property, and all sales and marketing records, contracts,
statements, invoices, bills, and claims for labor, materials, and services
supplied for the renovation of the Improvements; provided, however, all such
books, records and information contained therein shall be treated as strictly
confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party (other than Lender's
accountants, attorneys and consultants in connection with the Loan, and as may
be required by law) without written consent of Borrower.
4.14 No Liability of Lender. Except in the case of Lender's
gross negligence or wilful misconduct, Lender shall have no liability,
obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to the renovation of the
Improvements except to advance the Loan and the Borrower's Deposit pursuant to
this Loan Agreement. Lender shall not be obligated to inspect the Property or
the renovation of the Improvements, nor be liable or responsible for any defect
in the Property or the Improvements by reason of inspecting same, nor be liable
for the performance or default of Borrower, Architect, the Inspecting
Architects/Engineers, Contractor, or any other party, or for any failure to
construct, complete, protect, or insure the Improvements, or for the payment of
costs of labor, materials, or services supplied for the renovation of the
Improvements, or for the performance of any obligation of Borrower whatsoever.
Nothing including without limitation any Advance or acceptance of any document
or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or
implied, to any party by Lender.
4.15 No Conditional Sale Contracts, Etc. No materials,
equipment, or fixtures shall be supplied, purchased, or installed for the
renovation of the Improvements pursuant to security agreements, conditional sale
contracts, lease agreements, or other arrangements or understandings whereby a
security interest or title is retained by any party or the right is reserved or
accrues to any party to remove or repossess any materials, equipment, or
fixtures intended to be utilized in the renovation or operation of the
Improvements.
4.16 Defense of Actions. Lender may (but shall not be
obligated to) commence, appear in, or defend any action or proceeding purporting
to affect the Loan, the Property, or the respective rights and obligations of
Lender and Borrower pursuant to this Loan Agreement. Lender may (but shall not
be obligated to) pay all reasonable and necessary expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with such proceedings or
action, which Borrower agrees to repay to Lender on demand; provided, however,

6.14 shall apply.

4.17 Prohibition on Transfer of Property or Assignment of
Borrower's Interest. Borrower shall not (a) create any new ownership interest in
Borrower, or (b) except for the (1) sale of Interval Units in arms length
transactions, (2) the lien of the Loan Instruments, (3) the transfer of personal
property permitted herein, or (4) the Permitted Exceptions, transfer, lease or
mortgage (i) all or any part of the Property, or any interest therein, or (ii)
any ownership interest in Borrower (including any interest in the profits,
losses or cash distributions in any way relating to the Property) except this
shall not serve to prohibit the sale or hypothecation by Borrower of notes and
mortgages generated by Borrower in connection with the sale of Interval Units
subject to Lender's rights under the Exclusive Financing Agreement between the
parties of even date herewith. In addition, if at least two of the following,
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ fail to remain a principal
officer of Borrower with authority to make all material business decisions, then
Lender may at Lender's option, declare all of the indebtedness evidenced by the
Acquisition Note and/or the Renovation Note to be immediately due and payable,
and Lender may invoke any remedies permitted by the Loan Instruments. Intestate
transfers or transfers by devise shall not constitute a transfer for the
purposes of the foregoing provisions.
Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in this Section 4.17
Borrower shall be permitted to lease a portion of the Improvements to third
parties for operation of a restaurant, bar or other commercial activities. The
terms of said lease shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Lender.
Failure of Lender to object to the terms of said Lease or leases within twenty
(20) days of receipt shall be deemed written consent of such lease.
4.18 Payment of Charges. Borrower shall promptly pay or cause
to be paid when due all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
Property and the renovation of the Improvements, and Borrower shall keep the
Property free and clear of any lien, tax, judgment, charge, or claim (the
"Charges") other than the encumbrances of the Mortgage, the Permitted
Exceptions, and other liens approved in writing by Lender. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Loan Agreement, Borrower (a) may,
discharge in accordance with applicable law any such Charge or contest the
validity or amount of any claim of any contractor, consultant, architect, or
other person providing labor, materials, or services with respect to the
Property, (b) may contest any tax or special assessments levied by any
Governmental Authority, and (c) may contest the enforcement of or compliance
with any Governmental Requirements, and such contest on the part of Borrower
shall not be an Event of Default hereunder and shall not release Lender from its
obligations to make Advances hereunder; provided, however, that during the
pendency of any such contest Borrower shall, if requested by Lender, furnish to
Lender and Title Company an indemnity bond from a corporate surety satisfactory
to Lender and Title Company in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent
(150%) of the amount being contested or other security reasonably acceptable to
them, and provided further that Borrower shall pay any amount adjudged by a
court of competent jurisdiction (including appellate courts) to be due, with all
costs, interest, and penalties thereon, before such judgment becomes a lien on
the Property and provided further Borrower is able to fulfill all of Borrower's
obligations under this Loan Agreement during the pendency of any such contest.
4.19 Restrictions and Annexation. Other than the Permitted
Exceptions, Borrower shall not impose any restrictive covenants, easements or
other encumbrances upon the Property, execute or file any subdivision plat
affecting the Property, or consent to the annexation of the Property to any city
without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
4.20 Current Financial Reports. Borrower shall (1) on or
before sixty (60) days after the end of each applicable fiscal quarter, deliver
to Lender quarterly Financial Reports of Borrower, certified by Borrower to be a
fair and accurate summary of the information set forth therein, (2) on or before
one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each applicable fiscal year,
deliver to Lender then current Financial Reports of Borrower, Guarantor and the
Association (so long as Borrower is in control thereof), which, except for those
of the Association, shall be audited by a certified public accountant and
prepared in accordance with GAAP, and (3) from time to time, as Lender may
reasonably request, deliver to Lender additional financial reports of Borrower,
Guarantor and the Association.
4.21 Tax Receipts. Borrower shall furnish Lender with receipts
or tax statements marked "Paid"
16
23
to evidence the payment of all taxes levied on the Property and all operations
thereof prior to the date such taxes become delinquent.
4.22 Notice of Litigation, Claims, and Financial Change.
Borrower shall promptly inform Lender of (a) any litigation against Borrower or
Guarantor or affecting the Property, which, if determined adversely, might have
a material adverse effect upon the financial condition of Borrower or Guarantor
or upon the Property, or might cause an Event of Default, (b) any claim or
controversy which might become the subject of such litigation, and (c) any
material adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower or Guarantor.
4.23 No Occupancy Contrary to All Risk Policy. The
Improvements or any element thereof shall not be occupied until Borrower has
obtained and furnished to Lender (a) a certificate of occupancy (or its
equivalent), if applicable, issued by the local Governmental Authorities with
jurisdiction over renovation of the Improvements permitting occupancy of the
Improvements or any element thereof, and (b) replacement coverage in the form of
an all-risk insurance policy upon the completed Improvements or element thereof,
which policy will not be impaired by the occupancy of the Improvements or any
element thereof and is reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
4.24 Hold Harmless. Except for Lender's acts or omissions
which constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct, Borrower shall defend,
at its own cost and expense, and hold Lender harmless from, any proceeding or
claim in any way relating to the Property or the Loan Instruments. Subject to
the provisions of Section 6.14, all Costs incurred by Lender in protecting its
interests hereunder, including all court costs and reasonable attorney's fees
and expenses, shall be borne by Borrower. The provisions of this Section shall
survive the payment in full of the Loan and all other indebtedness secured by
the Mortgage and the release of the Mortgage as to events occurring and causes
of action arising before such payment and release.
4.25 Cross Default. The Mortgage shall also provide that any
Event of Default under the documents evidencing and securing the Interval
Receivables Loan shall be an Event of Default under the Mortgage and the other
Loan Instruments. The documents and instruments evidencing and securing the
Interval Receivables Loan shall also secure the Acquisition Note and the
Renovation Note. Any Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan
Instruments shall be an Event of Default under the Receivables Loan Agreement.
4.26 Modifications to Resort Documents. Borrower shall not
without Lender's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, amend, modify or supplement the Declaration of CCRs or any of the
other documents relating to the creation or operation of the timeshare project
on the Resort Property ("Resort Documents") unless such amendment, modification
or supplement is required either to cause additional Interval Units to be
annexed into the timeshare regime or by law, whereupon Borrower shall implement
same and give prompt written notice thereof to Lender. Lender shall, in writing,
reject or approve such written request to modify, amend or supplement the Resort
Documents within thirty (30) days after receipt of such request from Borrower.
4.27 Subordinated Obligations. Borrower hereby represents and
warrants to Lender that those matters described on EXHIBIT "I" hereto constitute
all Borrower's debts, liabilities and obligations to any Affiliates of Borrower,
except for salaries and other compensation due officers and directors, as of
June 30, 1996. Upon an Event of Default, Borrower will not, directly or
indirectly, (a) permit any payment to be made in respect of any indebtedness,
liabilities or obligations direct or contingent, to any Affiliates (excluding
trade payables and salaries and other compensation due officers and directors
incurred in the ordinary course of business provided that no bonuses or salary
increases shall be permitted while an Event of Default continues), which
payments shall be and are hereby made subordinate to the payment of principle
of, and interest on, the Acquisition Note, the Renovation Note, or any
indebtedness secured under the Interval Receivables Loan or (b) permit the
amendment, rescission or other modification of any of Borrower's subordinated
obligations in such a manner as to affect adversely the lien priority of the
Lender in any property, real or personal, pledged to secure any of the foregoing
Loan Instruments. For purposes of this provision the term "Affiliate" shall mean
an individual, trust, estate, partnership, limited liability company,
corporation or any other incorporated or unincorporated organization ("Person")
that (i) directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls or
is controlled by or is under common control with Borrower or Guarantor or (ii)
any officer,
17
24
director, or partner of Borrower or Guarantor or any relative of any of the
foregoing. The term "Control" shall mean possession, directly or indirectly, of
the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a
Person whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
ARTICLE 5 - RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF LENDER
5.1 Rights of Lender. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Lender shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy
of Lender as set forth in the Loan Instruments, but not the obligation, in its
own name or in the name of Borrower, to enter into possession of the Property;
to perform all work necessary to complete the renovation of the Improvements
substantially in accordance with the Plans, Governmental Requirements, and the
requirements of any lessee, if applicable; and to employ watchmen and other
safeguards to protect the Property. Borrower hereby appoints Lender as the
attorney-in-fact of Borrower, with full power of substitution, and in the name
of Borrower, if Lender elects to do so, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, to (a) use such sums as are reasonably necessary, including any
proceeds of the Loan and the Borrower's Deposit, if any, make such changes or
corrections in the Plans, the renovation of the Improvements, the Approved
Budget, the Approved Construction Schedule, and employ such architects,
engineers, and contractors as may be reasonably required for the purpose of
completing the renovation of the Improvements substantially in accordance with
the Plans and Governmental Requirements, (b) execute all applications and
certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required for completion of the
renovation of the Improvements, (c) endorse the name of Borrower on any checks
or drafts representing proceeds of the Insurance Policies, or other checks or
instruments payable to Borrower with respect to the Property, (d) do every act
with respect to the renovation of the Improvements which Borrower may do, and
(e) prosecute or defend any action or proceeding incident to the Property. The
power of attorney granted hereby is a power coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable. Lender shall have no obligation to undertake any of the foregoing
actions, and, if Lender should do so, it shall have no liability to Borrower for
the sufficiency or adequacy of any such actions taken by Lender.
5.2 Acceleration and Other Remedies. Upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, declare the Loan immediately due
and payable, and Lender may exercise any or all of its remedies set forth in the
Loan Instruments.
5.3 Cessation of Advances. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, the obligation of Lender to disburse the Loan and the Borrower's
Deposit and all other obligations of Lender hereunder shall, at Lender's
option, immediately terminate.
5.4 Funds of Lender. Any funds of Lender used for any purpose
referred to in this Article 5 shall constitute Advances secured by the Loan
Instruments and shall bear interest at the rate specified in the Renovation Note
to be applicable after default hereunder.
5.5 No Waiver or Exhaustion. No waiver by Lender of any of
its rights or remedies hereunder, in the other Loan Instruments, or otherwise,
shall be considered a waiver of any other or subsequent right or remedy of
Lender; no delay or omission in the exercise or enforcement by Lender of any
rights or remedies shall ever be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy of
Lender; and no exercise or enforcement of any such rights or remedies shall ever
be held to exhaust any right or remedy of Lender.
5.6 Marshalling Waiver. Borrower waives any and all rights to
require the marshalling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the
remedies hereunder.

6.2 Entire Agreement and Modifications. The Loan Instruments
constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the undersigned with
respect to the transactions arising in connection with the Loan and supersede
all prior written or oral understandings and agreements between the undersigned
in connection therewith. No provision of this Loan Agreement or the other Loan
Instruments may be modified, waived, terminated, supplemented, changed or
amended except by a written instrument executed by both parties hereto.
6.3 Severability. In case any of the provisions of this Loan
Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable,
such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provision hereof, and this Loan Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
6.4 Election of Remedies. Lender shall have all of the rights
and remedies granted in the Loan Instruments and available at law or in equity,
and these same rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be pursued
separately, successively, or concurrently against Borrower, Guarantor, or any
property encumbered by the Loan Instruments, at the sole discretion of Lender.
The exercise or failure to exercise any of the same shall not consti tute a

nonexclusive.
19
26
6.5 Form and Substance. All documents, certificates,
insurance policies, evidence, and other items required under this Loan Agreement

reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
6.6 Limitation on Interest. In no event whatsoever shall the
amount of interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lender pursuant to this Loan
Agreement, the Acquisition Note or Renovation Note or any of the Loan
Instruments exceed the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under
applicable law. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any
provision of this Loan Agreement, the Acquisition Note, the Renovation Note and
the other Loan Instruments shall involve exceeding the lawful rate of interest
which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto ("Excess
Interest"), then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to
the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under such law and if, for any
reason whatsoever, Lender shall receive, as interest, an amount which would be
deemed unlawful under such applicable law, such interest shall be applied to the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan (whether or not due and payable), and
not to the payment of interest, or shall be refunded to Borrower if such Loan
has been paid in full. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor or any endorser shall have
any action against Lender for any damages whatsoever arising out of the payment
or collection of any such Excess Interest.
6.7 No Third Party Beneficiary. This Loan Agreement is for
the sole benefit of Lender and Borrower and is not for the benefit of any third
party.
6.8 Borrower in Control. In no event shall Lender's rights
and interests under the Loan Instruments be construed to give Lender the right
to, or be deemed to indicate that Lender is in control of the business,
management or properties of Borrower or has power over the daily management
functions and operating decisions made by Borrower.
6.9 Number and Gender. Whenever used herein, the singular
number shall include the plural and the plural the singular, and the use of any
gender shall be applicable to all genders. The duties, covenants, obligations
and warranties of Borrower in this Loan Agreement shall be joint and several
obligations of Borrower and of each Borrower if more than one.

SERVICE ON C T CORPORATION SYSTEM. IN THE EVENT SERVICE IS UNDELIVERABLE
20
27
BECAUSE SUCH AGENT MOVES OR CEASES TO DO BUSINESS IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, BORROWER
SHALL, WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS AFTER LENDER'S REQUEST, APPOINT A SUBSTITUTE AGENT
(IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS) ON ITS BEHALF AND WITHIN SUCH PERIOD NOTIFY LENDER OF

6.15 Escrow. It is understood that certain local requirements
mandate that Borrower escrow all sales proceeds received from consumers for the
sale of Interval Units at the Property during the pendency of renovation of the
Improvements and until closing of the purchase of an Interval Unit. The parties
agree that an escrow agent ("Escrow Agent") shall hold the sales proceeds during
the pendency of renovation and release them as may be allowed by local law
having jurisdiction over the Property. The parties further agree that the Escrow

be signed in multiple counterparts which taken together shall constitute the
entire agreement between the parties. Facsimile signatures of a party shall,
upon transmission and delivery thereof to the other party, be effective as to

RECITALS
A. Borrower desires Lender to extend a secured credit facility to
Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Receivables Loan Agreement.
B. Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents will be secured
inter alia by, a security interest in certain Notes Receivable.
▇. ▇▇▇▇ Financial Corp., a New York corporation ("Guarantor") shall
guaranty all of the obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents.
D. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the appendix of defined terms (the "Appendix") attached hereto and
made a part hereof by this reference.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, Borrower and Lender agree
as follows:
SECTION 1
THE LOAN
1.1 LOAN.
(A) AVAILABILITY. During the Revolving Period, Lender shall
make Advances to Borrower not in excess of Availability provided that Borrower
satisfies all conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof. Advances shall be (A) in
minimum amounts of $100,000 each, and (B) made no more frequently than three (3)
times each month nor more than one (1) time each week. Except in connection with
a prepayment of amounts mandated under Section 1.5(b)(i) below, any amounts
repaid during the Revolving Period may be reborrowed during the Revolving
Period.
(B) EXCESS AVAILABILITY. Lender shall make Advances of Excess
Availability to Borrower not more often than once per month and within fifteen
(15) days after Borrower's delivery to Lender of written request therefor
accompanied by Monthly Reports evidencing such Excess Availability to Lender's
satisfaction.
1.2 TERM. The Loan shall be for a term commencing on the date hereof
and expiring at the end of the term of the Financed Notes Receivable remaining
after the Revolving Period, but in no event later than the Maturity Date.
1.3 INTEREST RATE. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan
together with all other Indebtedness shall bear interest at the Interest Rate;
provided, however, that during the occurrence of an Event of Default the Loan
will bear interest at the Default Rate.
1.4 PAYMENTS.
(A) MONTHLY PAYMENTS. All funds collected by the Lockbox Agent
from the Financed Notes Receivable shall be paid to Lender at least weekly
pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement, and applied in the following
1
34
order: first to the payment of costs or expenses incurred by Lender in
collecting any amounts due in connection with the Loan; second, to the payment
of accrued and unpaid interest; and thereafter to the reduction of the principal
balance of the Loan. If the funds received by Lender from the Lockbox Agent with
respect to any month are insufficient to pay interest in full, Borrower shall
pay the difference to Lender within five (5) days of written notice from Lender.
Payments received by Borrower directly from any Purchaser shall be delivered to
the Lockbox Agent within two (2) Business Days.
(B) FINAL PAYMENT. The Indebtedness shall be payable in full
on the Maturity Date.
1.5 PREPAYMENTS.
(A) VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS. Prepayments of the Loan shall not
(except as set forth in the penultimate sentence of this paragraph) be permitted
during the Revolving Period, but may be made in whole, but not in part, upon
five (5) days prior written notice to Lender at any time after the end of the
Revolving Period upon payment of the applicable Prepayment Premium (whether such
prepayment results from voluntary payments by Borrower, acceleration, or
otherwise); provided, however, that payments or prepayments of Financed Notes
Receivable made by Purchasers shall not violate this Section 1.5(a), and no
Prepayment Premium shall be payable as a result of any such payment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a prepayment of the Loan in whole
or in part, upon a bulk sale by Borrower of Financed Notes Receivable, no
Prepayment Premium shall be payable and Borrower shall, in lieu thereof, pay to
Lender an exit fee of one percent (1%) of the amount of prepayment. Thereafter,
Lender shall return such Notes Receivable to Borrower and, within five (5) days
of Lender's receipt from Borrower of a completed allonge and assignment relating
to such Notes Receivable and the Mortgage securing the same, in forms acceptable
to Lender, Lender shall execute such instruments and return them to Borrower
along with the Notes Receivable.
(B) MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS.
(I) EXCESS OUTSTANDING. If at any time the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan exceeds the Maximum Exposure, Borrower
shall, within five (5) Business Days after notice, either (A) prepay the Loan in
an amount necessary to reduce the principal balance of the Loan, or (B) deliver
to Lender such additional or replacement Eligible Notes Receivable, in either
event such that the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Loan is equal
to or less than the Maximum Exposure.
(II) INELIGIBLE FINANCED NOTE RECEIVABLE. If at any
time after the expiration of the Revolving Period a Financed Note Receivable
ceases to be an Eligible Note Receivable, Borrower shall, within five (5)
Business Days after notice, either (A) prepay the Loan in an amount equal to or
in excess of the applicable percentage of the balance due under such Financed
Note Receivable, or (B) deliver to Lender one (1) or more Eligible Notes
Receivable having an outstanding aggregate principal balance equal to, or
greater than, the outstanding principal balance of such Financed Note
Receivable. Thereafter, Lender shall return such ineligible Note Receivable to
Borrower and, within five (5) days of Lender's receipt from Borrower of a
completed allonge and assignment relating to such Note Receivable and the
Mortgage securing the same, in forms acceptable to Lender, Lender shall execute
such instruments and return them to Borrower along with the ineligible Note
Receivable.
(III) NO PREPAYMENT PREMIUM. No Prepayment Premium
shall be due in connection with any mandatory prepayment made in accordance with
Sections 1.5(b)(i) or (ii) above.
1.6 COMMITMENT FEE. The portion of the Commitment Fee previously paid
by Borrower shall be deemed to have been earned as of the date of such payment.
The unpaid portion of the Commitment Fee, if any, shall be deemed fully earned
as of the date hereof, and Borrower shall pay such portion to Lender by no later
than the date hereof.

give Lender five (5) days notice of its intent to supplement Financed Notes
Receivable with Upgraded Notes Receivable and upon proper delivery and
endorsement of the Upgraded Notes Receivables together with executed Assignment
of Mortgages in connection therewith and the deliveries set forth on SCHEDULE

with funding procedures, Lender shall, within five (5) days of Lender's receipt
from Borrower of a completed allonge and assignment relating to such Financed
Note Receivable and the Mortgage securing the same, in forms acceptable to
Lender, execute such instruments and return them to Borrower along with the

SECTION 4
GENERAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender as follows, which
representations and warranties shall remain true throughout the term of the
Loan:
4.1 EXISTENCE. Borrower is a corporation duly formed, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada with its principal
place of business at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. Borrower is in
good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and is authorized to
transact business in the State of
4
37
Colorado. In the event Borrower moves its principal place of business, Borrower
shall provide Lender with at least thirty (30) days prior notice and thereafter
shall prior to such relocation provide Lender at Borrower's expense with such
modified Loan Documents or additions thereto as may be required by Lender to
continue Lender's perfected interests hereunder.
4.2 AUTHORIZATION AND ENFORCEABILITY.
(A) EXECUTION. The Loan Documents have been duly authorized,
executed and delivered and constitute the duly authorized, valid and legally
binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower and the other
parties signatory thereto (other than Lender) in accordance with their
respective terms, subject only to such limitations as may be imposed by
bankruptcy and insolvency laws and general equitable principles.
(B) OTHER AGREEMENTS. The execution, delivery and compliance
with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents will not (i) to the best of
Borrower's knowledge, violate any provisions of law or any applicable
regulation, order or other decree of any court or governmental entity, or (ii)
conflict or be inconsistent with, or result in any default under, any material
contract, agreement or commitment to which Borrower is bound.
4.3 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND BUSINESS CONDITION. Borrower's and
Guarantor's financial statements provided to Lender fairly present the
respective financial conditions and (if applicable) results of operations of
Borrower and Guarantor as of the date or dates thereof and for the periods
covered thereby. All such financial statements, other than those prepared on
behalf of a natural person, if any, were prepared in accordance with GAAP except
that quarterly statements are subject to year-end adjustments and may not
contain footnotes. Except for any such changes heretofore expressly disclosed in
writing to Lender, there has been no material adverse change in the respective
financial conditions of Borrower or Guarantor from the financial conditions
shown in their respective financial statements. Borrower is able to pay all of
its debts as they become due, and Borrower shall maintain such solvent financial
condition, giving effect to all obligations, absolute and contingent, of
Borrower. Borrower's obligations under this Agreement and under the Loan
Documents will not render Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due.
The present fair market value of Borrower's assets is greater than the amount
required to pay its total liabilities.
4.4 TAXES. Except for ad valorem taxes for 1996, all ad valorem taxes
and other taxes and assessments against the Resort and the Collateral have been
paid and Borrower knows of no basis for any additional taxes or assessments
against the Resort or the Collateral. Borrower has filed all required tax
returns and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns,
including interest and penalties, and all other taxes which are payable by it,
to the extent the same have become due and payable. Borrower shall collect and
pay any applicable sales or rental tax respecting the sale or rental of any
Intervals.
4.5 LITIGATION AND PROCEEDINGS. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 4.5,
there are no actions, suits, proceedings, orders or injunctions pending or, to
the best of Borrower's knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower or
Guarantor, at law or in equity, or before or by any governmental authority,
which could have a material adverse effect on Borrower or Guarantor or relate to
the Loan or the Resort. Borrower has received no notice from any court or
governmental authority alleging that Borrower has violated the Timeshare Act,
any of the rules or regulations thereunder, or any other applicable laws.
4.6 LICENSES AND PERMITS. Borrower possesses all requisite franchises,
certificates of convenience and necessity, operating rights, licenses, permits,
consents, authorizations, exemptions and orders as are necessary to carry on its
business as now being conducted.
4.7 FULL DISCLOSURE. No information, exhibit or written report
furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender in connection with the Loan
contains any material misstatement of fact or omits any material fact necessary
to make the statement contained therein not misleading. Borrower knows of no
legal or contractual restriction which will prevent it from offering or selling
Intervals to Purchasers in any state where it is selling Intervals.
5
38
4.8 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. Borrower is in compliance in all material
respects with all applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act, the Internal Revenue Code and all other applicable laws and the
regulations and interpretations thereof with respect to all employee benefit
plans adopted by Borrower for the benefit of its employees. No material
liability has been incurred by Borrower which remains unsatisfied for any
funding obligation, taxes or penalties with respect to any such employee benefit
plans.
4.9 REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE RESORT.
(A) TITLE; PRIOR LIENS. Borrower has good and marketable title
to the Resort (excluding sold Intervals). Borrower is not in default under any
of the documents evidencing or securing any indebtedness which is secured,
wholly or in part, by the Resort, and no event has occurred which with the
giving of notice, the passage of time or both, would constitute a default under
any of the documents evidencing or securing any such indebtedness. There are no
liens or encumbrances against the Resort other than the Permitted Exceptions.
(B) ACCESS. The Resort has direct legal and physical access to
a publicly dedicated road and all roadways, if any, inside the Resort are or
will be as of the first Advance common areas under the Declaration.
(C) UTILITIES. Electric, gas, sewer, water facilities and
other necessary utilities are lawfully available in sufficient capacity to
service the Resort and any easements necessary to the furnishing of such utility
service have been obtained and duly recorded.
(D) AMENITIES. All amenities described or to be described in
the Public Offering Statement and the Public Reports for the Resort are or will
be completed prior to the first Advance, or a bond insuring their completion has
been posted. Such amenities include those listed in EXHIBIT D attached hereto.
Each Purchaser of an Interval has access to and the use of all of the amenities
and public utilities of the Resort as and to the extent provided in the
Declaration and the Public Reports.
(E) CONSTRUCTION. All costs arising from the construction or
renovation of any Improvements and the purchase of any equipment, inventory, or
furnishings located in or on the Units for which Financed Notes Receivable are
given have been paid.
4.10 ZONING AND BUILDING LAWS. Renovation of each wing of the building
in which Units are being sold will have been completed and will comply in all
material respects with all building codes, health codes, zoning laws,
environmental laws and all other laws and regulations relating thereto. All
inspections and certificates required to be made or issued as a precondition to
the use of occupancy of such Units have been made or issued by the appropriate
authorities, and the use and occupancy of each of such Units for its intended
purposes is lawful under all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
4.11 COLLATERAL.
(A) TITLE. Borrower has good and marketable title to the
Collateral, free and clear of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance
except for (I) the security interest created by this Agreement or otherwise
created in favor of Lender, and (II) the Permitted Exceptions. No financing
statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the
Collateral is on file in any recording office, except such as may have been
filed in favor of Lender. Borrower shall defend Lender against and save it
harmless from all claims of any Persons other than Lender with respect to the
Collateral, and this indemnity shall include all reasonable attorneys' fees and
legal expenses.
(B) NO MODIFICATION. There have been no modifications or
amendments to the Pledged Documents. Borrower shall not grant extensions of time
for the payment of, compromise for less than the full face value, release in
whole or in part any Purchaser liable for the payment of, or allow any credit
whatsoever except for the amount of cash to be paid upon, any Collateral or any
instrument or document representing the Collateral.
(C) BINDING OBLIGATIONS. On the date of the assignment and
delivery to Lender, each Financed
6
39
Note Receivable and Upgraded Note Receivable constitutes an Eligible Note
Receivable and Borrower is not aware of any facts or information which would
cause such Financed Note Receivable to be ineligible hereunder.
SECTION 5
AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
So long as any portion of the Indebtedness remains unpaid,
Borrower covenants as follows:
5.1 PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE OF INDEBTEDNESS. Borrower shall pay and
promptly perform all of the obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents.
5.2 MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE.
(A) POLICIES. The Resort shall at all times and for so long as
any Indebtedness remains outstanding be kept insured with such general liability
coverage and such other coverages acceptable to Lender, by carrier(s), in
amounts and in form at all times satisfactory to Lender, which carrier(s),
amounts and form shall not be changed without the prior written consent of
Lender. All required insurance may be maintained by the owners' association as
required by the Declaration provided that in the event such owners' association
fails to maintain any insurance required under this Section 5.2(a), then
Borrower shall be required to obtain and maintain such insurance.
(B) PROOFS OF CLAIM. In case of loss or damage or other
casualty, Borrower shall give immediate written notice thereof to the insurance
carrier(s) and to Lender. Lender is authorized and empowered, and Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact (such appointment is
coupled with an interest), at Lender's option, to make or file proofs of loss or
damage and to settle and adjust any claim under insurance policies which insure
against such risks, or to direct Borrower, in writing, to agree with the
insurance carrier(s) on the amount to be paid in regard to such loss.
(C) LOSS OR CASUALTY. Provided no Event of Default then exists
and Borrower certifies as to same, the net insurance proceeds shall be made
available for the restoration or repair of the Resort if (I) in Lender's
reasonable judgment: (A) restoration or repair and the continued operation of
the Resort is economically feasible; (B) the value of Lender's security is not
reduced; and (C) the casualty loss does not exceed the net insurance proceeds
available for restoration or Borrower or the Association (as defined in the
Declaration) provides a deposit in the amount of such excess or other evidence
satisfactory to Lender the Borrower or the Association has the funds available
to pay any excess costs of restoration; (D) the loss does not occur in the six
(6) month period preceding the Maturity Date and (E) Lender's independent
consultant certifies that the restoration of the Property can be completed at
least ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay or cause
to be paid all amounts, in addition to the net insurance proceeds, necessary to
pay in full the cost of the restoration or repair.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a condition
precedent to any disbursement of insurance proceeds held by Lender hereunder
that Lender shall have approved (X) all plans and specifications for any
proposed repair or restoration; (Y) the construction schedule; and (Z) the
architect's and general contractor's contracts for restoration. Lender may
establish other conditions it deems reasonably necessary to assure the work is
fully completed in a good and workmanlike manner free of all liens or claims by
reason thereof, and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations. At Lender's option, the net insurance proceeds shall be disbursed
pursuant to a construction escrow acceptable to Lender. If an Event of Default
then exists, or any of the conditions set forth in this subsection have not been
met or satisfied, the net insurance proceeds shall be applied to the Loan in
such order and manner as Lender may elect, whether or not due and payable, with
any excess paid to Borrower.
Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, for so long
as any part of the Resort is subject to the Declaration, any and all insurance
proceeds arising from any damage or destruction to the Resort and any and all
awards and payments with respect to condemnation or conveyances in lieu thereof
received by Lender shall be delivered
7
40
and paid out by Lender to the insurance trustee under the Declaration, to be
distributed and used in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration.
5.3 CONDEMNATION. The proceeds of any award, payment or claim for
damages, direct or consequential, in connection with any condemnation or other
taking of any Unit or Interval which is the subject of a Financed Note
Receivable or part thereof, or for conveyances in lieu of condemnation, are
hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender. Lender is authorized (but is
under no obligation) to collect any such proceeds. Lender may, in its sole
discretion, elect to make such proceeds available for repair or restoration of
the Resort in the same manner and upon the same conditions as set forth above
for net insurance proceeds or apply the net proceeds of any such condemnation
award (after deduction of Lender's reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in
collecting the same) in reduction of the Indebtedness in such order and manner
as Lender may elect, whether due or not. Anything to the contrary herein
notwithstanding, for so long as any part of the Resort is subject to the
Declaration, any and all insurance proceeds arising from any damage or
destruction to the Resort and any and all awards and payments with respect to
condemnation or conveyances in lieu thereof received by Lender shall be
delivered and paid out by Lender to the insurance trustee under the Declaration,
to be distributed and used in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration.
5.4 INSPECTIONS AND AUDITS. Borrower shall, at such reasonable times
during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably requested, permit
any agents or representatives of Lender to inspect the Resort and any of
Borrower's assets (including financial and accounting books and records), to
examine and make copies of and abstracts from the records and books of account
of Borrower or, to the extent permitted by law, the timeshare unit owner's
association or servicer under the Servicing Agreement and to discuss its
affairs, finances and accounts with any of its officers, employees or
independent public accountants. Borrower acknowledges that Lender intends to
conduct such audits and inspections on at least an annual basis. Borrower shall
make available to Lender all credit information in Borrower's possession or
under Borrower's control with respect to Purchasers as Lender may request.
Property inspections shall be at Lender's expense, but all audits and credit
investigations shall be at Borrower's expense; provided, however, that except
with respect to any audits conducted after an Event of Default hereunder,
Borrower shall not be required to pay in excess of $3,000 in any calendar year
for audits performed during such year.
5.5 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. So long as the Indebtedness remains unpaid,
Borrower shall furnish the following to Lender:
(A) MONTHLY REPORTS. To the extent not provided to Lender pursuant to
the requirements of the Lockbox Agreement, within fifteen (15) days after the
end of each calendar month, reports showing through the end of the preceding

change the Resort manager or amend, modify or waive any provision of or
terminate the management contract for the Resort without the prior written
consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lender
shall approve or reject any such request in writing within thirty (30) days of
receipt of written request from Borrower. Any failure of Lender to disapprove a
request received from Borrower in accordance with the preceding sentence within
the aforesaid thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to be Lender's approval of
Borrower's request.
5.8 NET WORTH. Borrower agrees to maintain a minimum net worth,
determined in accordance with GAAP, of SEVENTEEN MILLION and NO/100 DOLLARS
($17,000,000.00) at all times Indebtedness is outstanding or Lender is obligated
to make Advances without taking into consideration any sums due Borrower from
Guarantor.
5.9 MAINTENANCE. Borrower shall maintain the Resort in good repair,
working order and condition and shall make or cause to be made all necessary
replacements to the Resort.
5.10 PROCEEDS. Immediately upon Borrower's receipt of proceeds from the
sale of any of the Collateral, Borrower shall deliver such proceeds to Lender in
their original form and, pending delivery to Lender, Borrower will hold such
proceeds as agent for Lender and in trust for Lender.
5.11 RELEASE AND BONDING OF LIENS. In the event any lien attaches to
any Collateral relating to any payment obligation(s) of Borrower, individually
or in the aggregate in excess of $50,000.00, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15)
days after such attachment, either (A) cause such lien to be released of record
or (B) provide Lender with a bond in accordance with the applicable laws of the
state in which the Resort is located, issued by a corporate surety acceptable to
Lender, in an amount acceptable to Lender and in form acceptable to Lender or
(C) provide Lender with such other security as Lender may reasonably require.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower (A) may
contest the validity or amount of any claim, (B) may contest any tax or special
assessments levied by any governmental authority, and (C) may contest the
enforcement of or compliance with any governmental requirements and any such
contest on the part of Borrower shall not be an Event of Default hereunder and
shall not release Lender from its obligations to make Advances hereunder;
provided, however, that during the pendency of any such contest Borrower
9
42
shall otherwise comply with the requirements of this paragraph, and provided
further, Borrower shall pay any amount adjudged by a court of competent
jurisdiction (including appellate courts) to be due, with all cost, interest and
penalties thereon, before such judgment becomes a lien on the Collateral.
5.12 CLAIMS. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any claim, action
or proceeding affecting the Collateral, or any part thereof, or any of the
security interests granted hereunder, and, at the request of Lender, appear in
and defend, at Borrower's expense with counsel selected by Borrower subject to
Lender's approval, any such claim, action or proceeding.
5.13 USE OF LENDER NAME. Borrower will not, and will not permit any
Affiliate to, without the prior written consent of Lender, use the name of
Lender or the name of any affiliates of Lender in connection with any of their
respective businesses or activities, except in connection with internal business
matters, administration of the Loan and as required in dealings with
governmental agencies.
5.14 OTHER DOCUMENTS. Borrower will maintain accurate and complete
files relating to the Financed Notes Receivable and other Collateral to the
satisfaction of Lender, and such files will contain copies of each Financed Note
Receivable together with the purchase agreements, truth-in-lending statements,
all relevant credit memoranda, if any, and all collection information and
correspondence relating to such Financed Notes Receivable.
5.15 SUBORDINATED OBLIGATIONS. Set forth on SCHEDULE 5.15 is a
description of all Borrower's debts, liabilities and obligations to Affiliates
as of the date shown thereon, except for salaries and similar compensation to
employees of Borrower and its Affiliates. During an Event of Default, Borrower
will not, directly or indirectly, (A) permit any payment to be made in respect
of any indebtedness, liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, to any
Affiliates (excluding trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business
and excluding salaries and similar compensation payable to employees of Borrower
and its Affiliates in the ordinary course of business), which payments shall be
and are hereby made subordinate to the payment of principal of, and interest on,
the Note, or (B) permit the amendment, rescission or other modification of any
of Borrower's subordinated obligations in such a manner as to affect adversely
the lien priority of the Collateral.
5.16 LOAN SERVICING. Lender hereby acknowledges that Borrower shall be
the Servicer. The Servicing Agreement shall be satisfactory to Lender in its
sole discretion. Borrower may not amend or terminate the Servicing Agreement
without Lender's prior approval, and Borrower agrees not to take any action that
would be inconsistent in any way with the terms of the Servicing Agreement. The
Servicing Agreement shall be cancelable by Lender upon the occurrence of any
default under the Loan Documents. If the Servicer is Borrower or an Affiliate,
no servicing fees shall be paid if a default under any Loan Document has
occurred and is continuing. All servicing fees, and the costs and expenses of
the servicing agent, shall be paid by Borrower.
5.17 CUSTODIAN. Lender shall have the right at any time to utilize
Custodian to maintain custody of the Collateral. Borrower agrees not to
interfere with Custodian's performance of its duties under the Custodial
Agreement or to take any action that would be inconsistent in any way with the
terms of the Custodial Agreement. All custodial fees, and the costs and expenses
of the Custodian, shall be paid by Borrower.
5.18 TIMESHARE INTERVAL EXCHANGE NETWORK. Borrower shall at all times
from and after the initial Advance, be a member and participant, pursuant to a
validly executed and enforceable agreement in writing, in Resort Condominium
International ("RCI") or Interval International ("II") and the Resort shall, at
the time of the initial Advance either be designated a Gold Crown Resort by RCI
or have a comparable designation from II. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid
all fees and other amounts due and owing under such agreement and not otherwise
be in default thereunder.
5.19 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. The Borrower, and each of the Units in which
Intervals are being sold, shall comply with, conform to and obey each and every
judgment, law, statute, rule and governmental regulation applicable to it and
each indenture, order, instrument, agreement or document to which it is a party
or by which it is bound, the non-compliance with or violation of which could
have a material adverse effect upon the Resort or any portion thereof,
10
43
including, without limitation, each of the Units.
5.20 ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. The Borrower shall conduct its business, and
the Resort shall be operated in compliance with all environmental laws
applicable to it, including, without limitation, those relating to the
generation, handling, use, storage and disposal of hazardous substance and
hazardous waste. The Borrower shall take prompt and appropriate action to
respond to any non-compliance with environmental laws and shall regularly report
to Lender, any such non-compliance. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Borrower shall immediately after receipt of any notice of any
violation of any environmental law which affects the Resort, or any portion of
the Resort, give immediate written notice to Lender of such occurrence.
SECTION 6
NEGATIVE COVENANTS
So long as any portion of the Indebtedness remains unpaid or Lender is
committed to lend hereunder, unless Lender otherwise consents in writing,
Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:
6.1 CONSOLIDATION AND MERGER. Borrower will not consolidate with or
merge into any other Person or permit any other Person to consolidate with or
merge into it.
6.2 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS. Borrower shall not, without obtaining
the prior written consent of Lender, which may be granted or withheld in
Lender's sole discretion, (A) transfer, sell, pledge, convey, assign or encumber
all or any portion of the Resort or the Collateral or contract to do any of the
foregoing (including options to purchase and so called "installment sales
contracts"), except for Permitted Exceptions, sales of Intervals to Purchasers
in arms-length transactions, transfers of personal property no longer necessary
for the operation of the Resort and transfers of personal property promptly
replaced with the acquisition of personal property of equivalent value; or (B)
permit any sale, assignment, encumbrance, dilution or other disposition of any
ownership interests in Borrower (including any right to receive profits, losses
or cash flow related to the Resort) that would cause Guarantor to either (I) own
less than less than a fifty-one percent (51%) interest in Borrower, or (II)
cease to have a controlling interest in Borrower; provided, however, subject to
the restrictions set forth in the Exclusive Financing Agreement between Borrower
and Lender of even date herewith, this Section shall not prohibit the sale or
hypothecation of Note Receivables generated from Intervals released by Lender as
Collateral for the Loan in accordance with this Agreement or released pursuant
to the Acquisition and Renovation Loan Agreement. In addition, if at least two
of the following, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ fail to
remain a principal officer of Borrower with authority to make all material
business decisions, then Lender may at Lender's option, declare all of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note to be immediately due and payable, and Lender
may invoke any remedies permitted by the Loan Documents. Intestate transfers or
transfers by devise shall not constitute a transfer for the purposes of the
foregoing provisions.
Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in this Section 6.2
Borrower shall be permitted to lease a portion of the Resort to third parties
for operation of a restaurant, bar or other commercial activities. The terms of
said lease shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Lender. Failure
of Lender to object to the terms of said Lease or leases within twenty (20) days
of receipt shall be deemed written consent of such lease.
6.3 TIMESHARE REGIMEN. Without Lender's prior written consent (which
shall be granted or not within thirty (30) days of receipt of Borrower's written
request therefore), Borrower shall not amend, modify or terminate the
Declaration or the covenants, conditions, easements or restrictions against the
Resort (or any portion thereof), except that if any amendment or modification is
required either (A) to cause additional Units and Intervals to be annexed into
the timeshare regimen of the Resort, or (B) by law, Borrower shall implement the
same and give prompt written notice thereof to Lender. Lender's failure to
expressly deny its consent to a request duly made by Borrower pursuant to this
Section within the aforesaid thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to be
Lender's consent to Borrower's request.
6.4 COLLATERAL. Borrower shall not take any action (nor permit or
consent to the taking of any action) which might reasonably be anticipated to
impair the value of the Collateral or any of the rights of Lender in the
Collateral.
11
44
6.5 NO SALES OUTSIDE OF CERTAIN STATES. Borrower may register the
property in, market and sell Intervals in the states of Florida, Nevada,
California, Colorado, Illinois and Texas. Prior to taking any such actions,
Borrower shall deliver to Lender the applicable Compliance Documents.
6.6 CONTRACTS. Borrower shall not materially amend, modify or assign to
any other party any management, marketing or servicing contract for the Resort.
6.7 RESTRICTED TRANSFER AND ENCUMBRANCE OF UNITS AND INTERVALS. Except
for the sale of a Unit or Interval to a Purchaser and the related Mortgage for
such Interval, and the encumbrance of such Unit or Interval as security for the
Loan or the Acquisition and Renovation Loan, Borrower shall not otherwise
assign, convey, transfer or cause to be encumbered any interest in any Unit or
Interval. All easements, declarations of covenants, conditions and restrictions
and private and public dedications affecting such unsold Units and Intervals
shall be submitted by Borrower to Lender for its approval (which shall be
granted or not within thirty (30) days of receipt of Borrower's written request
therefor) and such approval must be obtained prior to the execution or granting
of any of the foregoing by Borrower. Lender's failure to expressly deny its
consent to a request duly made by Borrower pursuant to this Section within the
aforesaid thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to be Lender's consent to
Borrower's request. The sale or pledge of a Note Receivables is not deemed to be
a transfer or encumbrance of an interest in a Unit or any Interval. Nothing
herein shall be construed to release Borrower from its obligations under the
Exclusive Financing Agreement.
SECTION 7
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
An "Event of Default" shall exist if any of the following shall occur:
7.1 PAYMENTS. Borrower shall fail to make any payment of the
Indebtedness within five (5) days of the date such payment is due.
7.2 FAILURE TO PERMIT INSPECTIONS. Borrower shall fail to strictly
comply with the provisions of Section 5.4 of this Agreement.
7.3 COVENANT DEFAULTS. Borrower shall fail to perform or observe any
covenant, agreement or obligation contained in this Agreement or in any of the
Loan Documents or in any documents executed and delivered in connection with the
Acquisition and Renovation Loan (other than any covenant or agreement obligating
Borrower to pay the Indebtedness), and such failure shall continue for thirty
(30) days after Lender delivers written notice thereof to Borrower, provided,
however, if the failure is incapable of cure within such thirty (30) day period
and Borrower shall be diligently pursuing a cure, such thirty (30) day cure
period shall be extended by an additional period not to exceed ninety (90) days.
7.4 WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS. Any representation or other
statement made by or on behalf of Borrower in this Agreement, in any of the Loan
Documents or in any documents executed and delivered in connection with the
Acquisition and Renovation Loan, or in any instrument furnished in compliance
with or in reference to the Loan Documents, shall be false, misleading or
incorrect in any material respect as of the date made.
7.5 BANKRUPTCY. A petition under any Chapter of Title 11 of the United
States Code or any similar law or regulation is filed by or against Borrower or
Guarantor (and in the case of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy, such
petition is not discharged within sixty (60) days of its filing), or a
custodian, receiver or trustee for any of the Resort then owned by Borrower is
appointed, or Borrower, or Guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or either of them are adjudged insolvent by any state or federal
court of competent jurisdiction, or either of them admit their insolvency or
inability to pay their debts as they become due.

days after issuance or filing.
7.7 DEFAULT BY BORROWER IN OTHER AGREEMENTS. Any default by Borrower in
the payment of indebtedness for borrowed money (individually or in the aggregate
in excess of $50,000.00) after the expiration of any applicable grace or cure
period, other than a default under the Acquisition and Renovation Loan as to
which there shall be no minimum dollar amount; any other default under such
indebtedness which accelerates or permits the acceleration of the maturity of
such indebtedness; or any default which permits the holders of such indebtedness
to elect a majority of the Board of Directors of Borrower.
7.8 SUSPENSION OF SALES. The issuance of any stay order, cease and
desist order or similar judicial or nonjudicial sanction that materially
adversely limits or otherwise materially adversely affects any Interval sales
activities, and, with respect to any such sanction only, such sanction is not
dismissed, terminated or rescinded within sixty (60) days after issuance.
SECTION 8
REMEDIES
8.1 REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Lender may take any one or more of the following actions, all without notice to
Borrower:
(A) ACCELERATION. Declare the unpaid balance of the
Indebtedness, or any part thereof, immediately due and payable, whereupon the
same shall be due and payable.
(B) TERMINATION OF OBLIGATION TO ADVANCE. Terminate any
commitment of Lender to lend under this Agreement in its entirety, or any
portion of any such commitment, to the extent Lender shall deem appropriate.
(C) JUDGMENT. Reduce Lender's claim to judgment, foreclose or
otherwise enforce Lender's security interest in all or any part of the
Collateral by any available judicial procedure.
(D) SALE OF COLLATERAL. Exercise all the rights and remedies
of a secured party on default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to
the affected Collateral) including (I) require Borrower to, and Borrower hereby
agrees that it will, at its expense and upon request of Lender forthwith,
assemble all or part of the Collateral (other than Collateral held by the
Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement) as directed by Lender and make it
available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender which is reasonably
convenient to both parties; (II) enter upon any premises of Borrower and take
possession of the Collateral; and (III) sell the Collateral or any part thereof
in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Lender's offices
or elsewhere, at such time or times, for cash, on credit or for future delivery,
and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Lender may deem
commercially reasonable. Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale
shall be required by law, ten (10) days notice of the time and place of any sale
shall constitute reasonable notification. At any sale of the Collateral, if
permitted by law, Lender may bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the
form of cancellation of indebtedness) for the purchase of the Collateral or any
portion thereof for the account of Lender. Borrower shall remain liable for any
deficiency. Lender shall not be required to proceed against any Collateral but
may proceed against Borrower directly. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower
hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it
has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter enacted.
(E) RECEIVER. Apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for
appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any part thereof, and Borrower
hereby consents to any such appointment.
(F) EXERCISE OF OTHER RIGHTS. Exercise any and all other
rights or remedies afforded by any applicable laws or by the Loan Documents as
Lender shall deem appropriate, at law, in equity or otherwise, including the
right to bring suit or other proceeding, either for specific performance of any
covenant or condition contained in the
13
46
Loan Documents or in aid of the exercise of any right or remedy granted to
Lender in the Loan Documents.
8.2 APPLICATION OF COLLATERAL; TERMINATION OF AGREEMENTS. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply against the Indebtedness any
and all Collateral in its possession, any and all balances, credits, deposits,
accounts, reserves, indebtedness or other moneys due or owing to Borrower held
by Lender hereunder or under any other financing agreement or otherwise, whether
accrued or not.
8.3 WAIVERS. No waiver by Lender of any Event of Default shall be
deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default. No delay or
omission by Lender in exercising any right or remedy under the Loan Documents
shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver thereof or an
acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right
or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any
other right or remedy under the Loan Documents or otherwise. Further, Borrower
and Guarantor severally waive notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default,
presentment and demand for payment, protest, and notice of protest, notice of
intention to accelerate, acceleration and nonpayment, and agree that their
liability shall not be affected by any renewal or extension in the time of
payment of the Indebtedness, or by any release or change in any security for the
payment or performance of the Indebtedness, regardless of the number of such
renewals, extensions, releases or changes. Borrower also hereby waives the right
to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of the lien
created by any of the Loan Documents or to any action brought to enforce the
Note or any other obligation secured by the Loan Documents.
8.4 CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. All rights and remedies available to Lender
under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights
and remedies granted to Lender at law or in equity, whether or not the
Indebtedness is due and payable and whether or not Lender shall have instituted
any suit for collection or other action in connection with the Loan Documents.
SECTION 9

9.1 PROTECTION OF COLLATERAL. Lender may at any time and from time to
time take such actions as Lender deems necessary or appropriate to protect
Lender's liens and security interests in and to preserve the Collateral.
Borrower agrees to cooperate fully with all of Lender's efforts to preserve the
Collateral and Lender's liens and security interests therein.
9.2 PERFORMANCE BY LENDER. If Borrower fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, Lender may after five (5) days notice to Borrower (except if

obligated to, cause the performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of
Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower pursuant to
Section 9.3 below.
9.3 FEES AND EXPENSES. Borrower agrees to promptly pay all reasonable
Costs and all such Costs shall be included as additional Indebtedness bearing
interest at the then applicable Interest Rate under the Note including the
Default Rate if applicable until paid.

assign all or any portion of its rights in this Agreement to any subsequent
holder or holders of the Indebtedness. Lender shall give Borrower written notice

obligation to notify Borrower of any partial assignment of its rights under this
Agreement or the sale of any participation interest(s) in the Loan.
9.5 NOTICE TO PURCHASER. Borrower authorizes both Lender and the
Custodian (but neither Lender nor the Custodian shall be obligated) to
communicate at any time and from time to time, whether prior to or after a sale

thereon and any other matter relating thereto.

47
9.6 COLLECTION OF NOTES. Borrower shall direct and authorize each party

apply the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and (B) take
such remedial action available to it for the enforcement of any defaulted

payment thereof. Borrower hereby further irrevocably authorizes, directs and
empowers Lender to collect and receive all checks and drafts evidencing such
payments and to endorse such checks or drafts in the name of Borrower and upon
such endorsements, to collect and receive the money therefor.
Upon payment and satisfaction in full of all Indebtedness, Lender will, at
Borrower's request and sole expense, give written notice as necessary to
redirect payment of the Financed Notes Receivable as requested by Borrower.
9.7 POWER OF ATTORNEY. With respect to the Collateral, Borrower does
hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Lender as Borrower's true and lawful
agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for Borrower and in
Borrower's name, place and stead, or otherwise, to (A) endorse any checks or
drafts payable to Borrower in the name of Borrower and in favor of Lender as
provided in Section 9.6 above; (B) during the continuance of any Event of
Default, to demand and receive from time to time any and all property, rights,
titles, interests and liens hereby sold, assigned and transferred, or intended
so to be, and to give receipts for same; and (C) upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default hereunder, (I) to institute and
prosecute in the name of Borrower or otherwise, but for the benefit of Lender,
any and all proceedings at law, in equity, or otherwise, that Lender may deem
proper in order to collect, assert or enforce any claim, right or title, of any
kind, in and to the property, rights, titles, interests and liens hereby sold,
assigned or transferred, or intended so to be, and to defend and compromise any
and all actions, suits or proceedings in respect of any of the said property,
rights, titles, interests and liens, and (II) generally to do all and any such
acts and things in relation to the Collateral as Lender shall in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇

granted pursuant to this Section are coupled with an interest and are and shall
be irrevocable by Borrower in any manner, or for any reason, unless and until
all obligations of Borrower to Lender hereunder have been satisfied in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
9.8 INDEMNIFICATION OF LENDER. Except as set forth in Section 9.9
below, Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against
any and all liabilities, indebtedness, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses, and disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
Lender, in any way relating to or arising out of (A) this Agreement and the Loan
Documents and/or (B) any of the transactions contemplated therein or thereby
(including those in any way relating to or arising out of the violation by
Borrower of any federal or state laws including the Interstate Land Sales Act or
the Timeshare Act), unless caused by Lender's gross negligence or intentional
misconduct. Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim or demand asserted by a
third party that Lender believes is covered by this indemnity, and subject to
the condition that no Event of Default under this Agreement shall then exist,
Lender shall give Borrower notice of the matter and an opportunity to defend it,
at Borrower's sole cost and expense, with legal counsel satisfactory to Lender.
Notwithstanding any defense by Borrower of any such suit, claim or demand,
Lender shall have the right to participate in any material decision affecting
the conduct or settlement of any dispute or proceeding for which indemnification
may be claimed.

agreements made by Borrower herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any other
agreement, document, instrument or certificate delivered by or on behalf of
Borrower under or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be considered to have
been relied upon by Lender and shall survive the delivery to Lender of such Loan
Documents and the extension of the Indebtedness (and each part thereof),
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Lender.
10.3 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except
as may be expressly provided therein to the contrary) shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois and applicable
laws of the United States.

10.4 INVALID PROVISIONS. If any provision of this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under
present or future laws effective during the term thereof, such provision shall

10.6 LENDER NOT FIDUCIARY. The relationship between Borrower and Lender
is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender has no fiduciary or other
special relationship with Borrower, and no term or provision of any of the Loan
Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower and
Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.
10.7 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and other
Loan Documents and agreements referred to herein embody the entire agreement
between the parties hereto, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings

B. Lawful Rate of Interest.
In no event whatsoever shall the amount of interest paid or agreed to
be paid to Holder pursuant to this Note or any of the Receivables Loan Documents
exceed the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under applicable law. If,
from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Note and

which would be deemed unlawful under such applicable law, such interest shall be
applied to the principal of the Loan (whether or not due and payable), and not

full. Neither Maker nor any guarantor or endorser shall have any action against
Holder for any damages whatsoever arising out of the payment or collection of
any such Excess Interest.
