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.

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.

conditions precedent to the obligation of Lender to make any Advance are

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.

conveyance of title to the Property to the Lender in lieu of foreclosure of the
Mortgage. Acceptance of each Advance constitutes reaffirmation, as of the date

making such Advance.

4.2 Compliance With Governmental Requirements. Borrower
shall timely comply with all Governmental Requirements applicable to the
Borrower, the Improvements and the Resort Property. Borrower assumes full
responsibility for the compliance of the Plans, the Property and the
Improvements with all
-20-
26
Governmental Requirements and with sound building and engineering practices,
and, notwithstanding any approvals by Lender, Lender shall have no obligation
or responsibility whatsoever for the Plans or any other matter incident to the
Property or the construction of the Improvements. Immediately upon Borrower's
receipt of any notice from a Governmental Authority of noncompliance with any
Governmental Requirements, Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice
thereof.
4.3 Construction of the Improvements. Borrower shall
commence construction of the Improvements on or before the Commencement Date
and the construction of the Improvements shall be prosecuted with diligence and
continuity, in a good and workmanlike manner, and in accordance with sound
building and engineering practices, all applicable Governmental Requirements,
the Plans, the Approved Budget, the Approved Construction Schedule, and all
covenants, conditions and restrictions. Borrower shall not permit cessation of
work for a period in excess of those periods specified in Section 1.22(f) of
this Loan Agreement and shall complete construction of the Improvements on or
before the applicable Improvements Completion Date, free and clear of all liens
other than the Permitted Exceptions and the Loan Instruments (except those as
to which Borrower has furnished a bond or other security acceptable to Lender
and otherwise complied with the requirements of Section 4.18 below).
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 construction 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 construction of the

Property, to be stored on the Property, with adequate safeguards, as reasonably
required by Lender, to prevent loss, theft, damage, or commingling with other
materials or projects.
4.6 Inspection of the Property. Borrower shall permit
Lender, and its agents and representatives, to enter upon the Property and any
location where materials intended to be utilized in the construction of the
Improvements are stored, for the purpose of inspection of the Property and such
materials at all reasonable times.
-21-
27
4.7 Notices by Governmental Authority, Casualty,
Condemnation. Borrower shall timely comply with and promptly furnish to Lender
true and complete copies of any notice or claim by any Governmental 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 Project
affected by such casualty loss; and (v) Lender's Inspecting Architect/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 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 (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
-22-
28
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 2.7
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 2.7 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 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 construction 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 construction of the Improvements and to preserve the
Property, and
-23-

any other security for the Loan, and such Costs, even though in excess of the

brokers, 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

to Lender granted or provided for by the Loan Instruments.

permit 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 construction 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 construction 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 construction 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
-24-
30
services supplied for the construction 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
construction 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 construction 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 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, in any action directly between Borrower and Lender, the
provisions of Section 6.14 shall apply.

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

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.
-25-
31
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 construction 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

Guarantor or affecting the Property, which, if determined adversely, might have
a material adverse effect upon the financial condition of Borrower or Guarantor

controversy which might become the subject of such litigation, and (c) any
material adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower or Guarantor.

equivalent), if applicable, issued by the local Governmental Authorities with
jurisdiction over construction of the Improvements, 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 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
-27-
33

amendment, modification or supplement is required either to cause additional
Interval Units to be annexed into the timeshare regime or by law, whereupon

amend or supplement the Resort Documents within thirty (30) days of receipt of

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), 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)

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,

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

reason whatsoever, Lender shall receive, as interest, an amount which would be
deemed unlawful under such applicable law, such interest shall be applied to

for the sole benefit of Lender and Borrower and is not for the benefit of any
third party.

RECEIVABLES PROMISSORY NOTE
$15,000,000.00, __________, 1996
1. PROMISE TO PAY.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, PREFERRED EQUITIES CORPORATION, a Nevada
corporation ("MAKER") whose address is ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇, promises to pay to the order of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ FINANCIAL, INC., a Delaware
corporation, and its successors and assigns ("HOLDER"), in lawful money of the
United States of America and in immediately available funds, the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of all Advances made by Holder to Maker (the "LOAN")
pursuant to that certain Interval Receivables Loan and Security Agreement,
dated the date hereof, between Holder and Maker, as amended, modified or
supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms (the "Receivables
Loan Agreement"). This is a revolving Note, the principal amount of which may
increase or decrease from time to time during the term hereof. This Note shall
evidence Advances made under the Receivables Loan Agreement, notwithstanding
that the total aggregate of principal advances and repayments exceed the
original maximum principal amount hereof, and notwithstanding that the
principal balance may be zero at any time. Payments shall be made to Holder at
▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (or such other
address as Holder may hereafter designate in writing to Maker).
The repayment of the Loan evidenced by this Note is secured by the
Receivables Loan Agreement pursuant to which Maker has assigned, pledged and
granted a security interest to Lender in certain receivables related to the
sale of Intervals and other collateral described therein. This Note, the
Receivables Loan Agreement and any other documents evidencing or securing the
Loan or executed in connection therewith, and any modification, renewal or
extension of any of the foregoing are collectively called the "Receivables Loan
Documents".
This Note has been issued pursuant to the Receivables Loan Agreement,
and all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Receivables Loan
Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto) and all other instruments evidencing
or securing the indebtedness hereunder are hereby made a part of this Note and
are deemed incorporated herein in full. Defined terms used herein and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Receivables Loan
Agreement.
-1-
52
2. PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
So long as no Event of Default exists, interest shall accrue on the
principal balance hereof from time to time outstanding and Maker shall pay
interest thereon at a rate equal to a floating rate per annum equal to four
percent (4.0%) plus the Base Rate (the aggregate rate referred to as the
"INTEREST RATE"). "BASE RATE" shall mean the rate published each Business Day
in the Wall Street Journal for deposits maturing three (3) months after
issuance under the caption "Money Rates, London Interbank Offered Rates
(Libor)." The Interest Rate for each calendar month shall be fixed based upon
the Base Rate published prior to and in effect on the first (1st) Business Day
of such month. Interest shall be calculated on a 360 day year and charged for
the actual number of days elapsed.
3. PAYMENT.
This Note is subject to mandatory payments as provided in
Section 1.4 of the Receivables Loan Agreement.
Maker shall pay interest to Lender monthly, in arrears, on the
first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first day of the first
calendar month following the first Advance pursuant to the Receivables Loan
Agreement, on the unpaid principal amount of this Note outstanding during the
previous calendar month at a fluctuating interest rate per annum (computed
daily on the basis of a year of 360 days and charged for the actual number of
days elapsed) equal to the Interest Rate; provided, however, that after the
occurrence of an Event of Default under the Receivables Loan Agreement this
Note shall bear interest at the Default Rate set forth below.
The Loan shall be due and payable on or before June 1, 2005, or any
earlier date on which the Loan shall be required to be paid in full, whether by
acceleration or otherwise (the "MATURITY DATE").
4. PREPAYMENT.
This Note is (i) subject to mandatory prepayments in whole or
in part as provided in Section 1.5(b) of the Receivables Loan Agreement; and
(ii) permitted optional prepayments in accordance with Section 1.5(a) of the
Receivables Loan Agreement, subject to applicable Prepayment Premiums.
-2-
53
Not in limitation of any other mandatory prepayment
requirements under the Receivables Loan Agreement, if at any time the
outstanding aggregate principal balance under (i) this Note; (ii) that certain
promissory note of even date herewith between Holder and Maker in the principal
amount of $4,865,000.00 (the "Acquisition Note"); and (iii) that other certain
revolving promissory note of even date herewith between Holder and Maker in the
maximum principal amount of $1,500,000.00 (the "Renovation Note") exceeds
$15,000,000.00, such excess amount shall be due and payable by Maker to Holder
within five (5) Business Days after notice from Holder without premium or
penalty and such amount shall be applied by Holder to reduce the outstanding
principal balance of any of the above-referenced notes in any manner or amount
that Holder determines.
5. DEFAULT.
A. Events of Default.
An "Event of Default" under this Note shall mean the occurrence of any
Event of Default under any of the Receivables Loan Documents, after giving
effect to any applicable grace or cure period.
B. Remedies.
So long as an Event of Default remains outstanding: (a) interest
shall accrue at a rate equal to the Interest Rate plus four percent (4%) per
annum (the "DEFAULT RATE"); (b) Holder may, at its option and without notice
(such notice being expressly waived), declare the Loan immediately due and
payable; and (c) Holder may pursue all rights and remedies available under the
Receivables Loan Agreement or any other Receivables Loan Documents. Holder's
rights, remedies and powers, as provided in this Note and the other Receivables
Loan Documents, are cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly,
successively or together against Maker, any guarantor of the Loan, the security
described in the Receivables Loan Documents, and any other security given at
any time to secure the payment hereof, all at the sole discretion of Holder.
Additionally, Holder may resort to every other right or remedy available at law
or in equity without first exhausting the rights and remedies contained herein,
all in Holder's sole discretion. Failure of Holder, for any period of time or
on more than one occasion, to exercise its option to accelerate the Maturity
Date shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same at any
time during the continued existence of any Event of Default or any subsequent
Event of Default.
If any attorney is engaged: (i) to collect the Loan or any
-3-
54
sums due under the Receivables Loan Documents, whether or not legal proceedings
are thereafter instituted by Holder; (ii) to represent Holder in any
bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceedings affecting
creditors' rights and involving a claim under this Note; (iii) to protect the
liens and security interests of the Receivables Loan Agreement or any of the
Receivables Loan Documents; (iv) to foreclose on the Collateral; (v) to
represent Holder in any other proceedings whatsoever in connection with the
Receivables Loan Agreement or any of the Receivables Loan Documents including
post judgment proceedings to enforce any judgment related to the Receivables
Loan Documents; or (vi) in connection with seeking an out-of-court workout or
settlement of any of the foregoing, then Maker shall pay to Holder all
reasonable costs, attorneys' fees and expenses in connection therewith, in
addition to all other amounts due hereunder.
6. LATE CHARGE.
If payments of principal and/or interest, or any other amounts under
the other Receivables Loan Documents are not timely made or remain overdue for
a period of ten (10) days, Maker, without notice or demand by Holder, promptly
shall pay an amount ("Late Charge") equal to four percent (4%) of each
delinquent payment.
7. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of Illinois. The invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of any provision of this Note shall not affect or impair the
validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Note, and to this
end, the provisions of this Note are declared to be severable.
8. WAIVER.
Maker, for itself and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties of this
Note, and their heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives, hereby
waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of nonpayment, notice of
dishonor, protest of any dishonor, notice of protest and protest of this Note,
and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance,
default or enforcement of the payment of this Note except as provided in the
Receivables Loan Agreement, and agrees that their respective liability shall be
unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other party and shall
not be in any manner affected by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal,
waiver or modification granted or consented to by Holder. Maker, for itself
and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties of this Note, and their heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns, hereby
-4-
55
consents to every extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification that may
be granted by Holder with respect to the payment or other provisions of this
Note, and to the release of any makers, endorsers, guarantors or sureties, and
of any collateral given to secure the payment hereof, or any part hereof, with
or without substitution, and agrees that additional makers, endorsers,
guarantors or sureties may become parties hereto without notice to Maker or to
any endorser, guarantor or surety and without affecting the liability of any of
them.
9. SECURITY, APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.
This Note is secured by the liens, encumbrances and obligations
created hereby and by the other Receivables Loan Documents. Payments will be
applied to any fees, expenses or other costs Maker is obligated to pay under
this Note or the other Receivables Loan Documents, to interest due on the Loan
and to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, in any order that Holder,
at its sole option, may deem appropriate.
10. MISCELLANEOUS.
A. Amendments.
This Note may not be terminated or amended orally, but only by a
termination or amendment in writing signed by Holder and Maker.
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 the other Receivables Loan Documents 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, Holder shall
receive, as interest, an amount 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 to the payment of interest, or
refunded to Maker if the Loan has been paid in 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.

indebtedness hereunder are hereby made a part of this Note and are deemed
incorporated herein in full. Defined terms used herein and not otherwise

2. Principal and Interest.
So long as no Event of Default exists, interest shall accrue on the

Concurrently with Maker's sale of any Interval Unit (as defined in the
