2.2 ISSUANCE OF NOTE; RATE OF INTEREST; RECEIPT OF PAYMENTS.
(a) RECEIVABLES NOTE. The Debtor shall authorize, issue and
deliver to the Lender the Receivables Note. On and after the Closing
Date the Lender is hereby authorized by the Debtor to record (in good
faith) in the manual or data processing records of the Lender, or on the
grid schedule annexed to the Receivables Note, the date and amount of
each Receivables Advance extended to the Debtor by the Lender hereunder
and the date and amount of each repayment of principal and each payment
of interest on account of the Receivables Loan. In the absence of
manifest error, such records and schedule shall be conclusive as to the
outstanding principal amount of all Receivables Advances and the payment
of interest accrued hereunder; provided, that the failure to make any
such record entry with respect to any Receivables Advance or payment
shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Debtor under
this Agreement, the Receivables Note or any other Security Document.
(b) RATE OF INTEREST: RECEIVABLES LOAN AND INVENTORY LOAN.
Interest shall accrue on the Receivables Loan and be due monthly in
arrears on the first (1st) Business Day of each month, as more
particularly provided in this clause (b), and shall be paid as provided
in Section 2.3 of this Agreement. Subject to the accrual of interest on
the Receivables Loan after the occurrence of a Default or Event of
Default, as more particularly provided in this clause (b), the Monthly
15
21
Average Weighted Loan Balance in respect of the Receivables Loan for
each calendar month shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
Interest Rate.
Interest shall be calculated under this clause (b) on the basis
of actual days elapsed over a period of a 360 day year.
Each Receivables Advance shall bear interest as of the date of
the Lender's wiring of funds thereof through the date of the receipt by
the Lender of the repayment of such Advance (if the repayment of all or
any portion of any Advance is received by the Lender later than 3:00
p.m. Eastern time, then interest accrual thereon shall be through the
next Business Day following such receipt). After the occurrence of an
Event of Default or after the Receivables Maturity Date (if the
aggregate principal balance of the Receivables Advances is not paid in
full on the Receivables Maturity Date), the Receivables Loan will bear
interest at the Default Rate.
The Debtor and the Lender intend to comply at all times with
applicable usury laws. All agreements between the Debtor and the Lender,
whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral,
are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of
demand or acceleration of the maturity of any Note or otherwise, shall
the interest contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be
paid to the Lender exceed the maximum amount permissible under
applicable law, or in the absence of a maximum allowable rate under
applicable law, then, 45% per annum (the "Maximum Rate"). The Lender
may, in determining the Maximum Rate in effect from time to time, take
advantage of any law, rule or regulation in effect from time to time
available to the Lender which exempts the Lender from any limit upon the
rate of interest it may charge or grants to the Lender the right to
charge a higher rate of interest than that otherwise permitted by
applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would
otherwise be payable to the Lender in excess of the Maximum Rate, the
interest payable to the Lender shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate; and
if from any circumstance the Lender shall ever receive anything of value
deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the Maximum Rate, an
amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction
of the principal of the Loan and not to the payment of interest, or if
such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the
Loan, such excess shall be refunded to the Debtor. All interest paid or
agreed to be paid to the Lender shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout
the full period until payment in full of the principal so that the
interest on the Loan for such full period shall not exceed the Maximum
Rate. The Debtor agrees that in determining whether or not any interest
payment under the Security Documents exceeds the Maximum Rate, any
non-principal payment (except payments specifically described in the
Security Documents as "interest") including without limitation,
prepayment fees and late charges, shall to the maximum extent not
prohibited by law, be an expense, fee or premium rather than interest.
The Lender hereby expressly disclaims any intent to contract for, charge
or receive interest in an amount which exceeds the Maximum Rate. The
provisions of this Agreement, the Notes, and all other Security
Documents are hereby modified to the extent necessary to conform with
the limitations and provisions of this paragraph, and this paragraph
shall govern over all other provisions in any document or agreement now
or hereafter existing. This paragraph shall never be superseded or
waived unless there is a written document executed by the Lender and the
Debtor, expressly declaring the usury limitation set forth in this
paragraph to be null and void, and no other method or language shall be
effective to supersede or waive this paragraph.
(c) INTEREST AND OTHER PAYMENTS DUE ON HOLIDAYS. If any payment
due on, or with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes or any other
Security Document shall fall due on a day other than a Business Day,
then such payment shall be made on the 1st Business Day following the
day
16
22
on which such payment shall have so fallen due; provided that if all or
any portion of such payment shall consist of a payment of interest, for
purposes of calculating such interest, such payment shall be deemed to
have been originally due on such first following Business Day, and such
interest shall accrue and be payable to (but not including, subject to
clause (d) below) the actual date of payment.
(d) APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS RECEIVED AFTER 3:00 P.M. Any payment
actually received by the Lender at or before 3:00 p.m. Eastern time, by
federal funds wire transfer on any Business Day, shall be deemed to have
been received by the Lender on such day. Any payment actually received
by the Lender after 3:00 p.m. Eastern time, by federal funds wire
transfer on any Business Day, shall be deemed to have been received on
the next following Business Day. All payments received by the Lender on
a day other than a Business Day, or in a manner other than by federal
funds wire transfer, shall be deemed to have been received by the Lender
on the Business Day such amounts actually become available to the Lender
prior to 3:00 p.m. Eastern time in immediately available funds.
2.3 MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS OF RECEIVABLES LOAN; VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS OF
RECEIVABLES LOAN.
(a) COLLECTION AND APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS FROM PLEDGED NOTES
RECEIVABLE.
(i) The Debtor shall direct or otherwise cause all Makers
under the Pledged Notes Receivable to pay all moneys due
thereunder directly to the post office box established pursuant
to the Agency Agreement or to such other Person or place as the
Debtor may be advised by the Lender in writing.
(ii) The Debtor, to the extent it receives such payments
directly from or on behalf of such Makers, shall hold the same
(in the form so received) in trust for the sole and exclusive
benefit of the Lender and immediately shall deliver the same to
the Lender or, if so directed or agreed to in writing by the
Lender, shall either deliver the same to the Collection Agent or
shall mail the same to the post office box established pursuant
to the Agency Agreement.
(iii) Moneys (in good, collected funds in legal tender of
the United States of America) from Pledged Notes Receivable
collected by the Lender and/or collected and delivered to the
Lender by the Collection Agent or the Debtor shall be applied, on
each Wednesday of each week (and if such Wednesday is not a
Business Day, then on the next Business Day),
FIRST, towards the payment of fees, costs and
expenses as set forth in Section 10.2 of this Agreement,
in each case, as the same may have arisen in respect of
the Receivables Loan,
SECOND, towards the payment of all billed and
unpaid interest at the Interest Rate (except as provided
in clause third below) and any interest at the Default
Rate in respect of the Receivables Loan,
THIRD, towards the payment of accrued and unpaid
interest at the Interest Rate for and in respect of the
complete calendar month immediately preceding such week,
17
23
FOURTH, to the payment of the remaining principal
amount of the Receivables Loan then outstanding,
FIFTH, towards the payment of all other fees, costs
and expenses as set forth in Section 10.2 of this
Agreement,
SIXTH, towards the payment of all billed and unpaid
interest, if any, in respect of the Inventory Loan,
SEVENTH, to the payment of the principal amount of
the Inventory Loan, if any, and
EIGHTH, to the payment of any other Obligations
then unpaid and in default.
Interest which accrues on the Receivables Loan in respect
of any month shall be due and payable on, and shall be paid by
the Debtor on, the first (1st) Business Day of the immediately
following month. To the extent that any interest due and payable
as of the first (1st) Business Day of any month shall not have
been previously paid in full by the application of the proceeds
of the Pledged Notes Receivable, as referred to above, the Debtor
shall pay such shortfall on or prior to the last day of such
month and, if such day is not a Business Day, on or prior to the
first Business Day immediately preceding such last day.
(b) MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. If at any time the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Receivables Loan shall exceed the
Receivables Borrowing Base, the Debtor shall immediately notify the
Lender of such fact and make a mandatory prepayment ("Mandatory
Receivables Prepayment") in the amount necessary to reduce the then
outstanding amount of the Receivables Loan to the amount of the
Receivables Borrowing Base determined as at such time. If a Mandatory
Receivables Prepayment is required, the Debtor shall have the option to
eliminate all, or any part, of the Receivables Borrowing Base Deficiency
and thereby avoid the obligation, in whole or part, to make a Mandatory
Receivables Prepayment by (i) promptly notifying the Lender in writing
of the Debtor's intention to deliver new Notes Receivable, which when
pledged would constitute Eligible Notes Receivable, to the Lender so as
to increase the Receivables Borrowing Base to the required amount and
(ii) promptly assigning and delivering such new Notes Receivable to the
Lender or such other Person as Lender may designate, but in no event
later than 3 Business Days after the delivery of the monthly reports
required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.14(f) hereof that show
that such Receivables Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, provided that,
if such monthly reports are not delivered on or before the date provided
therefor in said Section 7.14(f) or if such monthly reports are so
delivered but fail to reflect (in the reasonable opinion of the Lender)
a Receivables Borrowing Base Deficiency which exists in the month which
is the subject of such reports, the actions required to be undertaken in
subclause (i) and subclause (ii) above in respect of the Debtor's option
set forth in this sentence shall be undertaken in connection with the
Debtor's exercise of such option not later than the 15th day of the
month following the month in which such Receivables Borrowing Base
Deficiency occurred. Such assignment and delivery shall comply with the
document delivery and recordation requirements set forth in Section 6 of
this Agreement. Any Mandatory Receivables Prepayment to be made by the
Debtor pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall not affect any other
Obligation of the Debtor arising under this Agreement, the Notes or any
other Security Document. Mandatory Receivables Prepayments shall not be
subject to any prepayment premium. If any Receivables Borrowing Base
Deficiency arises as a result of one or
18
24
more of the Pledged Notes Receivable no longer qualifying as Eligible
Notes Receivable and the Debtor effects, as provided above, a Mandatory
Receivables Prepayment or the actions required by sub-clause (i) and
sub-clause (ii) above and, as a result thereof, such Receivables
Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured, the Debtor may, at such time,
request the Lender, in writing, to return to it the Pledged Notes
Receivable which do not qualify as Eligible Notes Receivable, and the
Debtor shall identify said Pledged Notes Receivable in the aforesaid
writing. The Lender shall, upon the receipt of the aforesaid writing and
if such Receivables Borrowing Base Deficiency has been cured and no
Default or Event of Default shall then exist, release its Liens in and
to said Pledged Notes Receivable, the Pledged Note Receivable Deeds of
Trust that specifically relate thereto and the other documents,
instruments, title insurance and chattel paper that specifically relate
thereto and all proceeds, Property rights, privileges and benefits that
specifically arise from any of the same and shall endorse and deliver to
the Debtor all of said Pledged Notes Receivables and shall reassign and
(to the extent it has possession of the same) deliver to the Debtor all
of said Pledged Note Receivable Deeds of Trust and said other documents,
instruments, title insurance policies and chattel paper to the extent,
but only to the extent, that the said other documents, instruments,
title insurance or chattel paper relate specifically and solely to said
Pledged Notes Receivable (such endorsement, delivery and assignment
being without recourse to, and without representations or warranties of
any kind from, the Lender). The Debtor shall bear all out-of-pocket
expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable legal fees and
the disbursements of the Lender) in connection with such release,
endorsement, delivery and assignment. All documentation related thereto
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and its counsel.
(c) VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS. Debtor shall have the right on
or after the first Business Day of the 12th full calendar month
following the Receivables Commencement Date (excluding for purposes of
this clause (c) the calendar month in which the Receivables Commencement
Date occurs), upon 30 days' prior written notice to the Lender, to
prepay the Receivables Loan, in whole but not in part (except the
Receivables Loan may be partially prepaid (without prepayment premium)
as contemplated in Section 3.5 and 3.6 hereof), together with (i) the
applicable Receivables Prepayment Premium in respect of such prepayment,
determined at the time making of such prepayment, (ii) all accrued and
unpaid interest due on the Receivables Loan as at the time of the making
of such prepayment and (iii) all other amounts payable hereunder,
determined at the time of making such prepayment, including, without
limitation, Loan Costs. Prepayments by Makers under their respective
Pledged Notes Receivable shall not be deemed to be "voluntary
prepayments" and shall not be subject to any Receivables Prepayment
Premium.
2.4 PARTICIPATING LENDER.
The Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Debtor or
the approval of the Debtor, to designate one or more Participating Lenders and
to grant to such Participating Lenders participations in the Receivables Loan
and/or the Inventory Loan, on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Lender.
In the event that the Lender so designates a Participating Lender and grants
such Participating Lender a participation in any of such Loans, such
Participating Lender shall communicate and deal only with the Lender in respect
to such Participating Lender's interest in any of such Loans and the Collateral
and the Debtor shall communicate and deal hereunder only with the Lender and not
with any Participating Lender.

(iv) shall limit or restrict the right of the Debtor to collect "Rents"
as defined, and provided for, in the Assignment of Rents, (v) any and

20
26

any other charge for utilities relating to the Resort (including,
without limitation, any and all refunds and rebates of or with respect

Imposition or charge), and any and all interest thereon, whether now or
hereafter payable or accruing; and
(h) all other "Mortgaged Property," as such term is defined in
the Inventory Deed of Trust, whether such Collateral shall be presently
in existence or whether it shall be acquired or created by the Debtor at
any time hereafter, wherever located, together with the products and
proceeds thereof, and any replacements, additions and/or accessions
thereto and substitutions thereof and after-acquired Property relating
thereto, provided that any Collateral which shall have been released by
the Lender from the Liens provided for herein or in any other Security
Document shall not be deemed to have again become subject to such Liens
solely by virtue of becoming after-acquired Property of the Debtor.
For purposes of the avoidance of doubt, the Lender and the Debtor
acknowledge that (1) this Agreement provides for the creation of a security
interest in, and a Lien upon, Pledged Notes Receivable, which (as provided in
the definition thereof set forth in this Agreement) only include Notes
Receivable which have been assigned and delivered to the Lender by the Debtor
under this Agreement and which have not been reassigned or redelivered by the
Lender to the Debtor, (2) it is not the intention of the Lender and the Debtor
that this Agreement or any other Security Document should create a security
interest in, or Lien upon, Notes Receivable which do not constitute Pledged
Notes Receivable, (3) the Inventory Deed of Trust grants a security interest for
the benefit of the Lender in and to the Debtor's right, title, interest and
income in respect of any contracts for the sale, transfer and other conveyance
of the Mortgaged Property or Timeshare Intervals therein and (4) it is not the
intention of the Lender and the Debtor that the Inventory Deed of Trust
(pursuant to the security interest referred to in subclause (3) above or
otherwise) shall require that the Debtor assign and deliver Notes Receivable to
the Lender or cause any Notes Receivable to qualify as Pledged Notes Receivable.
The Lender agrees that, upon the release of a Timeshare Interval from
the Inventory Deed of Trust, the Lender will release any security interest , in
any related Notes Receivable that are not Pledged Notes Receivable at such time,
together with all documents, instruments, chattel paper, proceeds, revenues,
Property rights, privileges and other benefits relating thereto. In addition to
its agreements in
21
27
the immediately preceding sentence, the Lender further agrees that, upon the
incurrence by the Debtor of indebtedness other than to the Lender as permitted
in Section 7.2(g) hereof, or the sale of Notes Receivable by the Debtor to a
Person other than the Lender as permitted in Section 7.4 hereof, and the written
request of the Debtor, the Lender will release its security interest under any
Security Document (including, without limitation, the Inventory Deed of Trust),
in any Notes Receivable that are not Pledged Notes Receivable at such time and
are either being pledged in connection with the incurrence of such indebtedness
or being sold in connection with such sale, as the case may be, together with
all documents, instruments, chattel paper, proceeds, revenues, Property rights,
privileges and other benefits relating thereto.
To the extent that the Debtor satisfies
(a) the requirements of Section 7.2(g) hereof with respect to the
incurrence of additional indebtedness in connection with the financing
of Notes Receivable not pledged to the Lender under this Agreement or
(b) the requirements of Section 7.4 hereof with respect to the
sale of Notes Receivable not pledged to the Lender under this Agreement
and, in either case, if no Event of Default shall then exist, the Lender agrees,
upon receipt of a written request of the Debtor therefor, to enter into an
intercreditor agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Lender and its counsel, with any other lender providing such
financing to the Debtor or any purchaser purchasing such Notes Receivable from
the Debtor, which intercreditor agreement shall provide
(a) for an equal and ratable sharing between the Lender and such
other lender or such purchaser of any security interest in, and Lien
upon, the Collateral described in clause (b), in clause (c) (but only to
the extent that clause (c) shall relate to Property described in clause
(b)), clause (d) and clause (e) above, provided that the Lender shall
not be obligated to effect any such sharing if such other lender or
purchaser shall have failed to perfect its security interest in, and
Lien upon, said Collateral,
(b) that such other lender or purchaser shall recognize the
priority and exclusivity of the Lender's security interest in, and Lien
upon, all of the Collateral described in clause (a) above and in clause
(c) above (to the extent that clause (c) shall relate to Property
described in clause (a) above),
(c) that the Lender shall recognize the priority and exclusivity
of the other lender's or purchaser's security interest in, and Lien
upon, the Notes Receivable specifically pledged or sold and (in each
case) delivered to such other lender or such purchaser by the Debtor and
in and to the accounts, contract rights, general intangibles and
instruments, documents and proceeds in respect thereof, and
(d) for a proportionate sharing of the voting rights granted by
the Debtor to the Lender pursuant to Section 3.9(c) hereof, provided
that such other lender has provided for an assignment of such voting
rights to itself.
The Lender may, in its sole discretion, require the Debtor to deliver to
the Lender certified copies of the documents of such other lender or such
purchaser providing for such financing or sale and the exhibits and other
instruments to be delivered in connection therewith, all of which shall be
reasonably
22
28
satisfactory to the Lender. All actions taken in connection with the execution
of any such intercreditor agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Lender and its counsel.
3.2 UNDERTAKINGS REGARDING COLLATERAL.
(a) The Lender shall not be required to take any steps to perfect
or maintain the perfection of its security interest in the Collateral
and no loss of, or damage to, the Collateral shall release the Debtor
from any of the Obligations.
(b) Notwithstanding that the Lender has agreed hereunder to make
Receivable Advances to the Debtor only in respect of Eligible Notes
Receivable, the Lender shall have a security interest in, and may
collect payments under, all of the Pledged Notes Receivable of the
Debtor.
(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the
granting of the Liens in and to the Collateral, shall not subject the
Lender to, or transfer or pass to the Lender or in any way affect or
modify, the liability of the Debtor under any or all of the Pledged
Notes Receivable, the Pledged Contracts, the Property-Related Contracts
or in connection with the Resort, the Declaration or the Association's
Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws, it being understood and agreed
that notwithstanding this Agreement, and the granting of the Liens in
and to the Collateral, all of the obligations of the Debtor (whether as
owner, chattel lessee, vendor, mortgagee, Declarant, Unit owner,
Timeshare Interval owner or otherwise) to each and every other party
under each and every one of the Pledged Notes Receivable, the Pledged
Contracts and the Property-Related Contracts and/or in connection with
the Resort or the Declaration and Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws
of the Association shall be and remain enforceable by such other party,
its successors and assigns, only against the Debtor or Persons other
than the Lender, and the Lender has not assumed any of the obligations
or duties of the Debtor under or with respect to any of the Pledged
Notes Receivable, the Pledged Contracts or the Property-Related
Contracts or otherwise in connection with the Resort or the Declaration
or the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Association.
(d) The Debtor hereby agrees and acknowledges that neither the
acceptance of this Agreement or any other Security Document by the
Lender nor the exercise of, or failure to exercise, any right, power or
remedy in this Agreement or in any other Security Document conferred
upon the Lender shall be deemed or construed to obligate the Lender to
pay any sum of money, take any other action or incur any liability in
connection with, or collect or realize upon, any of the Pledged Notes
Receivable, the Pledged Contracts or any other Collateral. It is further
agreed and understood by the Debtor that the Lender shall not be liable
in any way for any cost, expense or liability connected with, or any
charge or liability arising from, any of the Pledged Notes Receivable,
any of the Pledged Contracts, any of the Property-Related Contracts or
any other Collateral.
(e) The Debtor hereby agrees to indemnify the Lender, and hold it
harmless, from any and all liability, loss or damage which it may or
might incur by reason of any and all claims and demands whatsoever which
may be asserted against the Lender arising out of, as a result of, or
otherwise connected with, the Liens hereby granted to the Lender by the
Debtor under or in respect of any of the Pledged Notes Receivable, the
Property-Related Contracts or any other Collateral by reason of (i) the
failure by the Debtor to perform any obligations or undertakings
required to be performed by the Debtor under or in connection with any
of such Pledged Notes Receivables, the Pledged Contracts, the
Property-Related Contracts or any other Collateral, (ii) any failure by
the Debtor, in connection with any of such Pledged Notes Receivable, the
Pledged
23
29
Contracts, the Property-Related Contracts or any other Collateral, to
comply with any applicable federal, state or local consumer credit, sale
rescission or usury statute, including, without limitation, any such
statute of any state in which a Maker may reside, the Consumer Credit
Protection Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as
amended, the Colorado Uniform Consumer Credit Code, as amended, all
rules and regulations promulgated under the foregoing statutes, acts and
codes, the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act, the Colorado
Condominium Ownership Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder and the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, and (iii) failure by the Debtor
to comply with any applicable federal, state or local statutes or
ordinances and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder
pertaining to the renovation, construction, use or operation of the
Resort (including, without limitation, the Units) or to otherwise
discharge its duties and obligations under applicable law and under the
Declaration or the Association's Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws as
Declarant.
3.3 FINANCING STATEMENTS.
The Debtor agrees, at its own expense, to execute the financing
statements required by the Colorado Uniform Commercial Code together with any
and all other instruments or documents and take such other action, including
delivery of such instruments and documents, as may be necessary to perfect, and
to continue the perfection of, the Lender's security interest and Liens in the
Collateral and, unless prohibited by law, the Debtor hereby authorizes the
Lender to execute and file any such financing statement on the Debtor's behalf.
The parties agree that a legible carbon, photographic or other reproduction of
this Agreement or of a financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing
statement.
3.4 LOCATION OF COLLATERAL; BOOKS AND RECORDS.
All tangible Collateral (other than Collateral delivered to the Lender
and other than certain Books and Records which may be kept on Debtors' premises
in Las Vegas, Nevada) which is personal Property is to remain, at all times, on
the premises of the Debtor in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and the Debtor
represents and warrants to the Lender that all of the currently existing
tangible Collateral is now located there, and the Debtor will not transfer the
Collateral from such premises to other locations without the prior written
approval of the Lender. The Debtor shall, upon receipt of a written request
therefor from the Lender, deliver to the Lender, then current copies of all
computer tapes, disks, software and micro-fiche records constituting, in whole
or in part, the Books and Records.
3.5 INSURANCE OF COLLATERAL.
(a) MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE. The Debtor agrees to maintain, or
cause to be maintained, insurance, with financially sound and reputable
insurers acceptable to the Lender, with respect to the Buildings, the
Units and the personal Property located therein (including, without
limitation, the furniture, fixtures and furnishings thereof), all other
equipment and other personal Property of every nature whatsoever now or
hereafter located in or on, or attached to, and used or intended to be
used in connection with the Resort, the Common Amenities (including,
without limitation, the Amenity Building) and the Pledged Notes
Receivable, the Pledged Contracts and the Books and Records, against
casualties, contingencies, hazards and such other risks (including,
without limitation, (i) fire, hurricane, tornado, wind damage, and such
other risks insured against by a standard all-risk property and fire
insurance policy and endorsement for extended coverage and (ii) flood
insurance, if required by applicable law) and in such amounts as shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Lender (such insurance to be
maintained during the refurbishing of the Resort and to cover materials
in as well as adjacent to the structures so insured; such insurance
shall also be maintained prior to such refurbishing as well as
24
30
after such refurbishing); provided, however, that such casualty
insurance shall (A) in no case be in an amount less than an amount
sufficient to rebuild the Buildings, the Unit or the Common Amenity
which shall have suffered the loss and replace any of the personal
Property located therein and (B) be sufficient to provide funds to fully
compensate owners of Timeshare Intervals in and to such Building and/or
Unit for any inability to utilize such Building, Unit and/or Common
Amenity during any period following a loss to such Building, Unit or
Common Amenity. The Debtor shall deliver copies of the policies of such
insurance to the Lender, with satisfactory lender's loss payable
endorsements naming the Lender as loss payee to the extent of its
interest and as such interest may appear on the Closing Date, as set
forth in Section 5.12 hereof and within 15 days after the Closing Date,
Debtor shall deliver a certification from the insurance company or
insurance companies issuing such policies certifying that such copies
are true and correct. Each such policy of insurance or endorsement shall
contain a clause requiring the insurer to give not less than 30 days'
prior written notice to the Lender in the event of cancellation of the
policy for any reason whatsoever and a clause that the interest of the
Lender shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of the
Debtor or owner of the Property nor by the occupation of the premises
for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by said policy. If the
Debtor shall fail to provide and pay for such insurance, or have the
same provided and paid for, the Lender may, at the Debtor's expense,
procure the same, but shall not be required to do so. The Debtor agrees
to deliver to the Lender, promptly as rendered, true copies of all
reports made by the Debtor in any reporting form to insurance companies.
The Debtor shall maintain or caused to be maintained insurance with
financially sound and reputable insurers with respect to its Property
and business (including, without limitation, the Collateral) covering
any public liability of the Debtor, its officers, agents or employees
(including, without limitation, damage by Debtor or its officers, agents
or employees or the Association to the Property of other Persons, any
bodily injury caused by Debtor or its officers, agents or employees to
any other Person, or any negligent act or other similar liability of
Debtor or its officers, agents or employees) and in such amounts as are
satisfactory to the Lender; the Lender shall be named as a co-insured
thereon.
The Debtor shall, on or prior to August 15 of each year,
commencing on August 15, 2000, submit to the Lender insurance
certificates showing the type and amounts of insurance coverage
maintained, or caused to be maintained, by Debtor in respect of the
Resort, the then current premium cost in respect thereof and the amount
of such cost which shall have been previously paid. The Debtor shall, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, cause all casualty policies of
insurance provided under the Declaration to have mortgagee endorsements
in respect of the Lender's interests in and to the Timeshare Interval
that is the subject of any Pledged Note Receivable.
The Debtor shall pay, or cause to be paid, all premiums on the
aforesaid insurance policies and all other fees and charges payable in
connection with such insurance policies (such premiums, fees and charges
being collectively referred to herein as "Insurance Premiums") not later
than the due date thereof. If the Debtor shall fail to pay, or cause to
be paid, any such Insurance Premiums, the Lender may (but shall not be
obligated to), at Debtor's expense, pay the same. Any such payment shall
be subject to Section 3.11 hereof.
If the Mortgaged Property (as defined in the Inventory Deed of
Trust) is sold at a foreclosure sale or if the Lender shall acquire
title to said Mortgaged Property, the Lender shall have all of the
right, title and interest of the Debtor in and to all insurance policies
required under this clause (a) and the unearned premiums thereon,
related to the Mortgaged Property, and in and to the proceeds resulting
from any damage to said Mortgaged Property prior to such sale or
acquisition.
25
31
(b) CONDOMINIUM/TIMESHARE INSURANCE PROCEEDS. The Lender
acknowledges that application of all or a portion of any proceeds of
insurance may be subject to the Colorado Condominium Ownership Act, the
Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act and the terms and provisions of
the Declaration, and the foregoing requirements in this Section 3.5
shall be subject thereto (unless such laws may be modified by agreement
and have been so modified). For so long as the Inventory Loan shall
remain outstanding, any proceeds of insurance payable by the
Association, any manager retained by it or by the Declarant in respect
of any Unit or Timeshare Interval to the Debtor under the Declaration,
the Association's Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws or under
applicable Colorado law shall be promptly paid and/or turned over to the
Lender as proceeds of the Collateral and applied either in accordance
with applicable Colorado law or, if no such requirement exists, to the
prepayment of the Loan without prepayment premium (after deducting
therefrom all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lender in respect
thereof), first, as provided in the Inventory Loan Agreement and second,
as provided in Section 2.3(c) hereof. Without limiting the immediately
preceding sentence, any proceeds of insurance in respect of any Unit or
Timeshare Interval received by the Debtor or received by the Debtor as
Declarant or received by the Association at a time during which
(i) the Debtor (as Debtor or as Declarant) or any
Affiliate shall be the only owner or owners of Units or Timeshare
Intervals, or
(ii) the insurance provisions of the Declaration shall
have been suspended,
shall be promptly paid and/or turned over to the Lender (and the Debtor,
as Debtor or as Declarant, shall cause such payment and/or turnover) as
proceeds of the Collateral and applied to the prepayment of the Loan
(after deducting therefrom all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the
Lender in respect thereof), first, as provided in the Inventory Loan
Agreement and second, as provided in Section 2.3(c) hereof.
(c) MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. Subject to
the terms, provisions and requirements of the Declaration and applicable
Colorado law and to the extent that clause (b) above shall not be
applicable, the Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized and appointed
the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Debtor (with full right of
substitution) to adjust or compromise any insured loss in respect of the
Resort and to collect and receive the proceeds from any such policy in
respect of any such loss, which appointment shall be deemed to be
coupled with an interest. Each insurance company issuing any of the
above-mentioned insurance policies is hereby irrevocably authorized and
directed to make payment in respect of any such loss (whether or not the
Lender shall have exercised its option to adjust or compromise such
loss) directly to the Lender alone and not to the Debtor and the Lender
jointly. The Debtor shall immediately pay over to the Lender any such
payments received directly from any such insurance company. The Lender
is hereby irrevocably authorized and appointed the agent and
attorney-in-fact of the Debtor (with full right of substitution) to
endorse the Debtor's name on any instrument in payment of such proceeds,
which appointment shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Such
insurance proceeds received by the Lender shall not be, nor be deemed to
be, trust funds and may be commingled with the general funds of the
Lender. No interest shall be payable in respect of any such insurance
proceeds received by the Lender. After deducting from such insurance
proceeds any expenses incurred by the Lender in the adjustment or
compromise of such loss or in the collection or handling of such funds
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements), the
Lender shall
26
32
(i) if an Event of Default shall then exist, apply such
net insurance proceeds to the prepayment of the Loan, first, as
provided in the Inventory Loan Agreement and second, as provided
in Section 2.3(c) hereof;
(i) if no Event of Default shall then exist and such loss
shall not have been in respect of all, or substantially all, of
the Property in respect of the Resort and shall have exceeded
$20,000 and if the insurer which paid such insurance proceeds
shall not claim any right of participation and/or assignment of
rights in respect of the Lender with respect to the Obligations,
either deliver the net insurance proceeds to the Debtor as
contemplated in clause (A) below but subject to the conditions
set forth in said clause (A) or apply the same as contemplated in
clause (B) below:
(A) (1) the Debtor shall have, within 30 days of
such loss, delivered to the Lender a written undertaking
to rebuild, restore and/or repair the Property of the
Resort damaged or destroyed;
(2) the Debtor shall have, within 60 days of
such loss, submitted to the Lender for its approval (x)
plans and specifications in respect of such rebuilding,
restoration and/or repairing, which plans and
specifications shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Lender and which shall have been prepared by an architect
reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, (y) an estimate of
all costs of such rebuilding, restoration and/or repairing
signed by such architect and (z) copies of approvals or
consents of all necessary governmental authorities;
(3) at the time of each disbursement
contemplated by sub-clause (8) below, the Lender shall be
reasonably satisfied that such net insurance proceeds,
together with any additional funds made available for such
purpose by the Debtor and deposited with the Lender, shall
be sufficient to effect such rebuilding, restoration
and/or repairing in accordance with the aforesaid plans
and specifications, free and clear of all Liens except the
Liens contemplated or otherwise permitted herein and in
the other Security Documents;
(4) at the time of each disbursement
contemplated by sub-clause (8) below, the Lender shall be
reasonably satisfied that such rebuilding, restoration
and/or repairing can be completed within any applicable
time limitation imposed by law or, if there are no such
time limitations, within a reasonable period of time;
(5) at the time of each disbursement
contemplated by sub-clause (8) below, the Lender shall be
reasonably satisfied that, after such application and such
rebuilding, restoration and/or repairing (taking into
account any restrictions imposed by law or agreement on
such rebuilding, restoration and/or repairing or on the
use of the Resort after such rebuilding, restoration
and/or repairing), the Resort shall have a Fair Market
Value substantially the same as, or greater than, the Fair
Market Value of the Resort immediately prior to the
occurrence of such damage or destruction;
(6) at the time of each disbursement
contemplated by sub-clause (8) below, no Property-Related
Contract shall have been terminated or, if any
Property-Related Contract shall have been terminated, the
Lender shall be
27
33
reasonably satisfied that the Debtor will be able to
replace such Property-Related Contract reasonably
promptly;
(7) the holder of any encumbrance senior to
the Liens provided herein or in any other Security
Document in respect of the Resort shall have consented and
agreed to the application of insurance proceeds as set
forth in this clause (A); and
(8) the disbursement of such net insurance
proceeds shall be in accordance with terms, conditions and
procedures customarily followed by prudent institutional
lenders in making construction loans in similar amounts
and on such other terms, conditions and procedures as the
Lender may reasonably require (as evidenced by its written
notice thereof to the Debtor prior to the first
disbursement pursuant to this sub-clause (8)) to assure
the proper application of such proceeds and the continuing
performance by the Debtor of its obligations hereunder and
under the other Security Documents, including without
limitation, receipt by the Lender of evidence of suitable
payment bonds with respect to all material contracts and
Builder's All Risk Insurance and a certificate from the
Debtor certifying that (x) all rebuilding, restoration
and/or repairing to the date of such disbursement has been
performed substantially in accordance with the aforesaid
plans and specifications and that there have been no
material changes or modifications made in such plans and
specifications, (y) the labor, services and/or materials
to be paid by such disbursement have been performed upon,
or furnished in respect of, the rebuilding, restoration
and/or repairing of the Resort and (z) no Event of Default
exists at the time of such disbursement, or
(B) the Lender shall apply such net insurance
proceeds to the prepayment of the Loan, first, as provided
in the Inventory Loan Agreement and second, as provided in
Section 2.3(c) of this Agreement, if the Lender shall not
have received the written confirmation referred to in
sub-clause (A)(1) above within the time period required
therefor or if the Debtor shall have informed the Lender,
in writing, of its intention not to rebuild, repair and
restore the Resort or the Lender shall have determined the
same at any time during the rebuilding, repairing or
restoration process referred to in clause (A) above;
(iii) if no Event of Default shall then exist and such
loss shall not have been in respect of all, or substantially all,
of the Resort and shall not have exceeded $20,000, deliver all of
such net insurance proceeds to the Debtor and the Debtor shall
thereupon be obligated to, and shall, promptly rebuild, repair
and restore the Property of the Resort subject to such loss (or
shall cause such Property to be so promptly rebuilt, repaired and
restored) to the equivalent of its condition immediately prior to
such loss, whether or not such net insurance proceeds shall be
sufficient to cover the costs thereof, and shall certify, within
120 days of such loss, to the Lender that such rebuilding,
repairing and restoration has been completed and paid for in
full; or
(iv) if no Event of Default shall then exist and if such
loss shall be in respect of all, or substantially all, of the
Resort, apply such net insurance proceeds to the prepayment of
the Loan, first, as provided in the Inventory Loan Agreement and
second, as provided in Section 2.3(c) of this Agreement.
28
34
Any payment of insurance proceeds over to the Debtor, as provided
above, shall not affect the Lien of this Agreement or any other Security
Document as security for the Obligations. Notwithstanding any such loss,
the Debtor shall continue to pay interest and principal at the
applicable rate and amounts and at the applicable times provided in this
Agreement and in the Notes. Although the Lender intends to use
reasonable efforts to collect such insurance proceeds in a timely
fashion, the Lender shall not be responsible for any failure to collect
any proceeds due under the terms of any insurance policy, regardless of
the cause of such failure. Any balance of such net insurance proceeds
remaining after the aforesaid application thereof shall, if no Event of
Default shall then exist, belong, or be paid to, as the case may be, the
Debtor, provided that, if an Event of Default shall then exist, the
Debtor shall promptly deliver any such balance to the Lender and such
balance shall be applied as a prepayment of the Loan, first, as provided
in Section 2.4(b) hereof and second, as provided in Section 2.3(c)
hereof.
(d) DEBTOR UNDERTAKINGS. In the event of any casualty or loss in
respect of the Resort (including, without limitation, any of the
Collateral), (i) the Debtor shall immediately notify the Lender of the
same, (ii) the Lender may, in addition to its rights as beneficiary
under the Inventory Deed of Trust, elect to exercise the voting rights
of the Debtor as "Lienholder" in respect of any Pledged Note Receivable
Deed of Trust or as the owner of any Timeshare Interval, as such voting
rights are provided for under the Declaration, regarding all matters of
repair and restoration and (iii) the Debtor shall pay all assessments as
required by the Declaration and/or the Association's Articles of
Incorporation or By-Laws for repair and restoration due to inadequacy of
insurance.
Debtor agrees to cause any contractor hired by it to effect any of the
refurbishing of the Resort to carry adequate insurance in respect of bodily
injury or other personal liability or property damage in respect of its
employees or other third persons in connection with such refurbishing or
construction. Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with the Lender
prior to commencement of work and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Lender
in form and substance.
3.6 CONDEMNATION.
(a) CONDOMINIUM/TIMESHARE CONDEMNATION COMPENSATION. Any
compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action, proceeds, payment and
other relief (collectively, "Condemnation Compensation") of, or on account of,
any damage or taking of all or any part of the Resort in connection with any
condemnation proceedings or any exercise of the power of eminent domain (or any
conveyance in lieu of or under threat of any such taking), including, without
limitation, any such Condemnation Compensation for change of grade of streets or
any other injury to or decrease in the value of all or any part of the Resort
payable by the Association, any manager retained by it or by the Declarant in
respect of any Unit or Timeshare Interval to the Debtor under the Declaration,
the Association's Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws or under applicable
Colorado law shall be promptly paid and/or turned over to the Lender as proceeds
of the Collateral and applied to the prepayment of the Loan, first, as provided
in the Inventory Loan Agreement and second, as provided in Section 2.3(c)
hereof.
(b) APPLICABLE LAW.
(i) The Lender acknowledges that application of all or a
portion of any Condemnation Compensation may be subject to the
Colorado Condominium Ownership Act, the Colorado Common Interest
Ownership Act and the terms and provisions of the Declaration,
and the foregoing requirements in this Section 3.6 shall be
subject thereto (unless such laws may be modified by agreement
and have been so modified).
29
35
(ii) Any Condemnation Compensation in respect of any Unit
or Timeshare Interval received by the Debtor or received by the
Debtor as Declarant or received by the Association at a time
during which
(A) only the Debtor (as Debtor or as Declarant) or
any Affiliate shall be the only owner of Units or
Timeshare Intervals or
(B) the condemnation provisions of the Declaration
shall have been suspended
shall be promptly paid and/or turned over to the Lender (and the Debtor,
as Debtor or as Declarant, shall cause such payment and/or turnover) as
proceeds of the Collateral and applied to the prepayment of the Loan,
first, as provided in the Inventory Loan Agreement and second, as
provided in Section 2.3(c) hereof.
(c) MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATION OF CONDEMNATION COMPENSATION.
Subject to the requirements, terms and provisions of the Declaration and
applicable Colorado law and to the extent that clause (b) above shall
not be applicable, the Lender shall be entitled to all Condemnation
Compensation of, or on account of, any damage or taking of all or any
part of the Resort in connection with any condemnation proceedings or
any exercise of the power of eminent domain (or any conveyance in lieu
of or under threat of any such taking), including, without limitation,
any such Condemnation Compensation for change of grade of streets or any
other injury to or decrease in the value of all or any part of the
Resort. All such Condemnation Compensation, and the right thereto, is
hereby assigned to the Lender and included in the Collateral. The Debtor
shall promptly execute such further assignments of any such Condemnation
Compensation as the Lender may require, and the Lender shall take all
steps to assure that such Condemnation Compensation shall be paid to the
Lender alone, and not to the Debtor and the Lender jointly, and that
such Condemnation Compensation at all times shall be free and clear of
any Liens, charges or encumbrances of any kind whatsoever, except the
Liens permitted or otherwise provided for herein or in the other
Security Documents. The Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized and
appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Debtor (with full right
of substitution) to endorse the Debtor's name on any instrument in
payment of such Condemnation Compensation, which appointment shall be
deemed to be coupled with an interest.
The Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized and appointed the
agent and attorney-in-fact of the Debtor (with full right of
substitution) to commence, appear in and prosecute in its own and/or the
Debtor's name any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation or
exercise of the power of eminent domain, to settle or compromise any
claim in connection therewith and to collect and receive such
Condemnation Compensation and give proper receipts and acquittances
therefor, which appointment shall be deemed to be coupled with an
interest. The Debtor from time to time shall promptly deliver to the
Lender any and all instruments and authorizations which the Lender may
request to enable the Lender to take any such action. Such Condemnation
Compensation received by the Lender shall not be, nor be deemed to be,
trust funds and may be commingled with the general funds of the Lender.
No interest shall be payable in respect of any such Condemnation
Compensation. After deducting from such Condemnation Compensation any
expenses incurred by the Lender in connection therewith (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements), the Lender shall
(i) if an Event of Default shall then exist, apply such
net Condemnation Compensation to the prepayment of the Loan,
first, as provided in the Inventory Loan Agreement and second, as
provided in Section 2.3(c) of this Agreement;
30
36
(ii) if no Event of Default shall then exist, such damage
or taking shall have not been in respect of all, or substantially
all, of the Resort, such damage or taking shall not have rendered
the remainder of the Resort economically inviable or unusable to
the same extent and in the same manner as it was immediately
prior to such damage or taking, and the Condemnation Compensation
payable in respect thereof shall have exceeded $20,000, either
deliver the Condemnation Compensation to the Debtor as
contemplated in clause (A) below but subject to the conditions
set forth in said clause (A) or apply the same as contemplated in
clause (B) below:
(A) (1) the Debtor shall have, within 30 days of
such condemnation or taking, delivered to the Lender a
written undertaking to rebuild, restore and/or repair the
Property of the Resort not condemned or taken;
(2) the Debtor shall have, within 60 days of
such condemnation or taking, submitted to the Lender for
its approval (x) plans and specifications in respect of
such rebuilding, restoration and/or repairing, which plans
and specifications shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Lender and which shall have been prepared by an architect
reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, (y) an estimate of
all costs of such rebuilding, restoration and/or repairing
signed by such architect and (z) copies of approvals or
consents of all necessary governmental authorities;
(3) at the time of each disbursement
contemplated by sub-clause (8) below, the Lender shall be
reasonably satisfied that such Condemnation Compensation,
together with any additional funds made available for such
purpose by the Debtor and deposited with the Lender, shall
be sufficient to effect such rebuilding, restoration
and/or repairing in accordance with the aforesaid plans
and specifications, free and clear of all Liens except the
Liens contemplated or otherwise permitted herein and in
the other Security Documents;
(4) at the time of each disbursement
contemplated by sub-clause (8) below, the Lender shall be
reasonably satisfied that such rebuilding, restoration
and/or repairing can be completed within any applicable
time limitation imposed by law or, if there are no such
time limitations, within a reasonable period of time;
(5) at the time of each disbursement
contemplated by sub-clause (8) below, the Lender shall be
reasonably satisfied that, after such application and such
rebuilding, restoration and/or repairing (taking into
account any restrictions imposed by law or agreement on
such rebuilding, restoration and/or repairing or on the
use of the Resort after such rebuilding, restoration
and/or repairing), the Resort shall have a Fair Market
Value substantially the same as, or greater than, the Fair
Market Value of the Resort immediately prior to the
occurrence of such condemnation or taking;
(6) at the time of each disbursement
contemplated by sub-clause (8) below, no Property-Related
Contract shall have been terminated or, if any
Property-Related Contract shall have been terminated, the
Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the Debtor will
be able to replace such Property-Related Contract
reasonably promptly;
31
37
(7) the holder of any encumbrance senior to
the Liens provided herein or in any other Security
Document in respect of the Resort shall have consented and
agreed to the application of Condemnation Compensation as
set forth in this clause (A); and
(8) the disbursement of such Condemnation
Compensation shall be in accordance with terms, conditions
and procedures customarily followed by prudent
institutional lenders in making construction loans in
similar amounts and on such other terms, conditions and
procedures as the Lender may reasonably require (as
evidenced by its written notice thereof to the Debtor
prior to the first disbursement pursuant to this
sub-clause (8)) to assure the proper application of such
proceeds and the continuing performance by the Debtor of
its obligations hereunder and under the other Security
Documents, including without limitation, receipt by the
Lender of evidence of suitable payment bonds with respect
to all material contracts and Builder's All Risk Insurance
and a certificate from the Debtor certifying that (x) all
rebuilding, restoration and/or repairing to the date of
such disbursement has been performed substantially in
accordance with the aforesaid plans and specifications and
that there have been no material changes or modifications
made in such plans and specifications, (y) the labor,
services and/or materials to be paid by such disbursement
have been performed upon, or furnished in respect of, the
rebuilding, restoration and/or repairing of the Resort and
(z) no Event of Default exists at the time of such
disbursement, or
(B) the Lender shall apply such Condemnation
Compensation to the prepayment of the Loan, first, as
provided in the Inventory Loan Agreement and second, as
provided in Section 2.3(c) of this Agreement, if Lender
(or its agent) shall have not received the written
confirmation referred to in sub-clause (A)(1) above within
the time period required therefor or if the Debtor shall
have informed the Lender, in writing, of its intention not
to rebuild, repair and restore the Resort or the Lender
shall have determined the same at any time during the
rebuilding, repairing or restoration process referred to
in clause (A) above;
(iii) if no Event of Default shall then exist and such
damage or taking shall not have been in respect of all, or
substantially all, of the Resort and the Condemnation
Compensation payable in respect thereof shall not have exceeded
$20,000, deliver all of such net Condemnation Compensation to the
Debtor and the Debtor shall thereupon be obligated to, and shall,
promptly rebuild, repair and restore the Resort (or shall cause
the Resort to be so promptly rebuilt, repaired and restored) such
that the Resort is useable to the same extent and in the same
manner, and is in substantially an equivalent condition, after
such damage or taking as it was immediately prior to such damage
or taking, whether or not such net Condemnation Compensation
shall be sufficient to cover the costs thereof, and shall
certify, within 120 days of such damage or taking, to the Lender
that such rebuilding, repairing and restoration has been
completed and paid for in full; or
(iv) if no Event of Default shall then exist and if such
damage or taking loss shall be in respect of all, or
substantially all, of the Resort or the Resort is no longer
economically viable or no longer useable to the same extent and
in the same manner after such damage or taking as it was
immediately prior to such damage or taking, apply such net
Condemnation Compensation to the prepayment of the Loan, first,
as provided in the Inventory Loan Agreement and second, as
provided in Section 2.3(c) of this Agreement.
32
38
The Lender may release such net Condemnation Compensation to the
Debtor without affecting the Lien of this Agreement or any other
Security Document as security for the Obligations. Any balance of such
net Condemnation Compensation remaining after the aforesaid application
thereof shall, if no Event of Default shall then exist, belong to, or be
paid to, as the case may be, the Debtor, provided that, if an Event of
Default shall then exist, the Debtor shall promptly deliver any such
balance to the Lender and such balance shall be applied as a prepayment
of the Loan, first, as provided in the Inventory Loan Agreement and
second, as provided in Section 2.3(c) hereof. Notwithstanding any such
condemnation, the Debtor shall continue to pay interest and principal at
the applicable rate and amounts and at the applicable times provided in
this Agreement and in the Notes. Although the Lender intends to use
reasonable efforts to collect such Condemnation Compensation, in a
timely fashion, the Lender shall not be responsible for any failure to
collect such Condemnation Compensation, regardless of the cause of such
failure.
(d) DEBTOR UNDERTAKINGS. In the event of any condemnation or
taking in respect of the Resort (including, without limitation, any of
the Collateral), (i) the Debtor shall immediately notify the Lender of
the same, (ii) the Lender may, in addition to its rights as beneficiary
under the Inventory Deed of Trust, elect to exercise the voting rights
of the Debtor as "Lienholder" in respect of any Pledged Note Receivable
Deed of Trust or as the owner of any Timeshare Interval, as such voting
rights are provided for under the Declaration, regarding all matters of
repair and restoration and (iii) the Debtor shall pay all assessments as
required by the Declaration and/or the Association's Articles of
Incorporation or By-Laws for repair and restoration due to inadequacy of
the Condemnation Compensation.
3.7 TAXES AFFECTING COLLATERAL.
The Debtor shall pay or cause to be paid, on or before the last day when
they may be paid without interest or penalty, all taxes, assessments, rates,
dues, charges, fees, levies, excises, duties, fines, impositions, liabilities,
obligations and encumbrances (including, without limitation, water and sewer
rents and charges, charges for setting or repairing meters and charges for other
utilities or services), general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen
or unforeseen, of every kind whatsoever, now or hereafter imposed, levied or
assessed by any public or quasi-public authority or instrumentality upon or
against any of the Collateral or the use, occupancy or possession of the Resort,
or upon or against this Agreement, the Notes or the other Security Documents,
the Obligations or the interest of the Lender in the Pledged Notes Receivable,
the Pledged Note Receivable Deeds of Trust or the Inventory Deed of Trust or any
other item of Collateral (provided that this Section 3.7 shall not be construed
to require the Debtor to pay any income tax imposed upon the general income of
the Lender), as well as all assessments and other governmental charges imposed,
levied or assessed in respect of any Collateral, and any and all interest, costs
and penalties on or with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively, the
"Impositions"). Upon request by the Lender, the Debtor shall deliver to the
Lender receipts or other satisfactory proof of payment of any Impositions.
The Debtor shall not claim, demand or be entitled to receive any
reduction of, or credit toward, any Imposition on account of the Obligations. No
deduction shall be claimed from the taxable value of any Collateral or the
Resort by reason of the Obligations, any of the Security Documents or the
interest of the Lender in the Collateral.
33
39
If existing laws or procedures governing the taxation of mortgages,
security documents or debts secured by mortgages or other security documents
shall be changed in any manner after the date hereof so as to materially
adversely impair the security of the Inventory Deed of Trust or the security
interest herein granted or granted in any of the other Security Documents or to
reduce the net income to the Lender in respect of the Obligations (excluding
from any such determination of net income any reduction in such net income
attributable to a change in taxes imposed on, or measured by, the net income of
the Lender), then, upon request by the Lender, the Debtor shall pay to the
Lender or to the taxing authority (if so directed by the Lender), all taxes,
charges and related costs for which the Lender may be liable as a result
thereof.
The Debtor shall pay, or cause to be paid, when due, any and all
recording (mortgage or personal property), intangible property and documentary
stamp taxes, all similar taxes, and all filing, registration and recording fees,
which are now or hereafter may become payable in connection with the
Obligations, the Inventory Deed of Trust, this Agreement, any of the other
Security Documents, the Pledged Note Receivable Deeds of Trust or any of the
other Collateral. The Debtor shall pay when due any and all excise, transfer and
conveyance taxes which are now or hereafter may become payable in connection
with the Obligations, the Inventory Deed of Trust, any Pledged Note Receivable
Deed of Trust, this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents, or in
connection with any foreclosure of the Inventory Deed of Trust, any Pledged Note
Receivable Deed of Trust or any other foreclosure of any Collateral under this
Agreement or under any of the other Security Documents, or any other transfer of
any item of Collateral in extinguishment of all or any part of the Obligations
or any other enforcement of the rights of the Lender with respect thereto.
3.8 DISCHARGE OF LIENS AFFECTING COLLATERAL.
If any mechanic's, laborer's, materialman's, statutory or other Lien
(other than Permitted Exceptions) shall be filed or otherwise imposed upon or
against any item of the Collateral or the Resort, then the Debtor shall, within
30 days after being given notice of the filing of such Lien or otherwise
becoming aware of the imposition of such Lien, cause such Lien to be vacated or
discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond, final order of a court of
competent jurisdiction or otherwise.
Except with respect to the Pledged Notes Receivable and the Pledged Note
Receivable Deeds of Trust, the Debtor shall have the right, at its sole expense,
to contest the validity of any such Lien or of the claim evidenced or secured
thereby, by appropriate proceedings commenced prior to the expiration of the
aforesaid 30-day period and thereafter diligently and continuously conducted in
good faith to final determination, in which event the Debtor shall not be
required to cause any such Lien to be vacated or discharged of record in
accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph if, and only so long as:
(a) no final judicial determination in respect of any foreclosure
or other enforcement proceeding in respect of such Lien or the claim
evidenced or secured thereby shall have been rendered and no nonjudicial
foreclosure proceeding or sale in respect of such Lien or such claim
shall have been commenced;
(b) no claim for liability of any kind shall have been asserted
against the Lender in connection with such Lien or the claim evidenced
or secured thereby; and
(c) if such Lien shall secure a claim of more than $20,000, the
Debtor shall have established an escrow with the Lender, or shall have
delivered to the Lender a satisfactory bond issued by a surety
acceptable to the Lender or a satisfactory letter of credit for the
benefit of the Lender issued by a bank acceptable to the Lender, in each
case in an amount estimated by the
34
40
Lender to be adequate to cover (i) the unpaid amount of such claim, (ii)
all interest, penalties and similar charges which reasonably can be
expected to accrue by reason of such contest or by reason of such
nonpayment, and (iii) all costs, fees and expenses (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) which reasonably can be
expected to be incurred in connection therewith by the Lender, which
escrow, bond or letter of credit shall be maintained in effect
throughout such contest and the amount of which shall be increased from
time to time if reasonably required by the Lender to cover the foregoing
amounts in subclause (i), subclause (ii) and subclause (iii).
The Debtor shall inform the Lender, in advance and in writing, of its intention
to contest any Lien securing a claim, or such claim itself, under this Section
3.8 if such claim shall exceed $20,000.
Upon termination of any such contest (whether by final determination or
otherwise), or at any time during the course of any such contest that the
conditions relieving the Debtor of its obligation to cause such Lien to be
vacated or discharged shall no longer be satisfied or shall be discovered not to
have been satisfied, the Debtor shall cause such Lien to be vacated or
discharged of record. At the Lender's option, the escrow established or bond or
letter of credit, as the case may be, delivered pursuant to this Section 3.8 may
be, in the case of the escrow, liquidated, or, in the case of the bond or the
letter of credit, drawn upon, at such time and the proceeds thereof may be
applied to payment of all or any part of the claim evidenced or secured by such
Lien and the interest, penalties, charges, costs, fees and expenses (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) referred to in subclause
(ii) and subclause (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph. Promptly after
such Lien has been vacated or discharged of record, the Debtor shall deliver to
the Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Lender that such Lien has
been vacated or discharged of record. Thereafter, the amount then remaining in
the escrow established pursuant to this Section 3.8 or such bond or letter of
credit, as the case may be, shall be returned to the Debtor free and clear of
the Lien of this Agreement or any other Security Document so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or, if an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, shall be retained by the Lender as part of the
Collateral.
If any Lien shall not be vacated or discharged as required by this
Section, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of the Lender, the
Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge such Lien in such manner as
the Lender may select, and the Lender shall be entitled, if the Lender shall so
elect, to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such Lien
by the lienor and, if the Lender shall so elect, to pay the amount of any
judgment in favor of such lienor with interest, costs and allowances. Upon
request by the Lender, the Debtor shall pay to the Lender, or to any other
Person designated by the Lender, the amount of all payments made by the Lender
as provided above and all costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by the Lender in
connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from
the date paid or incurred by the Lender until the date so paid to, or as
directed by, the Lender. To the extent permitted by law, the Lender shall
thereupon be subrogated to the rights of such lienor and any such payments made
by the Lender pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall be secured by the Collateral.
35
41
3.9 USE OF RESORT; VOTING RIGHTS OF DEBTOR; LENDER CONSENT TO TIMESHARE
DECLARATION AMENDMENT.

in any zoning classification or reclassification of the Resort or
the adoption, issuance, imposition or amendment of any other law,

operation, development or disposition thereof (other than any
covenant of this Agreement the Declarations or the other Security

improve the Common Amenities without the prior written consent of
the Lender (except for the creation of additional common elements

(vi) except as set forth in Schedule 9 of this Agreement,
maintain the Units and/or Timeshare Intervals owned by it for
lease or as a rental project,
(vii) add or withdraw real Property from the Resort, or
create additional Units (beyond those Units existing or planned
for in the Buildings in accordance with, and pursuant to, the
Declaration ), or

provided that the Debtor may create additional Timeshare
Intervals within the Hilltop Resort so long as Debtor notifies the
Lender promptly thereof.
(b) USE BY PUBLIC. The Debtor shall not cause, permit or suffer
the Resort to be used by the public without restriction (except as
required by applicable law) or in any manner that might tend to impair
the Debtor's right, title and interest in and to the Resort or in any
manner that might make possible any claim of adverse usage or adverse
possession by the public or any claim of implied dedication of all or
any part of the Resort.
36
42
(c) VOTING RIGHTS. The Debtor hereby appoints and constitutes the
Lender as its attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) to
exercise all of its voting rights pertaining to any Unit or Timeshare
Interval owned by the Debtor or in which the Debtor has an interest
giving rise to the right to vote (whether as Declarant, as "Lienholder"
under any Pledged Note Receivable Deed of Trust or otherwise). This
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable
for so long as any Obligations are owing by the Debtor to the Lender.
This power of attorney may be used from time to time in the sole
discretion of the Lender if there shall exist an Event of Default, or a
material casualty, condemnation or taking shall have occurred with
respect to the Resort or any part thereof. The Debtor agrees to execute,
from time to time, such other documents as the Lender may request
(including, without limitation, the form of proxy substantially in the
form of Exhibit D to this Agreement; which proxy shall, at the request
of the Lender, be renewed every 11 months and shall be modified to
include Timeshare Intervals in addition to Units) and file the same with
the Secretary of the Association in accordance with the Association's
By-Laws.
Except with the prior written consent of the Lender, the Debtor
shall not propose or vote for or consent to any modification of, or
amendment to, the Declaration or the Association's Articles of
Incorporation or By-Laws which could have (in the reasonable sole
opinion of the Lender) an adverse effect on the Collateral or the
operation or prospects of the Resort. In each case under the Declaration
and/or the Association's Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws in which
the consent or the vote of "Lienholders" in respect of the Units and/or
Timeshare Intervals (including any such case in which the Debtor would
be considered to be a "Lienholder" by virtue of any Pledged Note
Receivable Deed of Trust) is provided for or is required, or in which
the Debtor's consent is required (as Declarant or as an owner of a Unit
or a Timeshare Interval or as a vendor or mortgagee) for any proposed
action, the Debtor shall not vote or give such consent without obtaining
the prior written consent of the Lender if such action (in the
reasonable sole opinion of the Lender) could have an adverse effect on
the Collateral or the operation or prospects of the Resort.

health laws and regulations, and all other applicable laws, rules,
ordinances and regulations.
(g) REGISTRATION COMPLIANCE. The Debtor shall maintain, or cause
to be maintained, all necessary consents, franchises, approvals, and
exemption certificates, and the Debtor will make, or cause to be made,
all registrations or declarations with any government or any agency or
department thereof required in connection with the Units, the Buildings,
and the Timeshare Intervals and the occupancy, use and operation of the
Units and the Buildings, and the sale and offering for sale of Timeshare
Intervals.

satisfaction of the Lender, and such files will contain copies of each
Pledged Note Receivable and the Pledged Contract and Pledged Note
Receivable Deed of Trust related thereto, copies of all relevant credit
memoranda relating thereto, and all collection information and
correspondence relating thereto received from the Collection Agent.

the form of the Pledged Note Receivable, Pledged Contract, Pledged Note
Receivable Deed of Trust and the special warranty deed set forth in
Exhibit C attached hereto (together with the form of the
Truth-in-Lending Statement and statement of rescission rights set forth
therein) and the other instruments and documents related thereto
(collectively, the "Timeshare Instruments") shall be used by the Debtor
for all transactions which may be entered into after the first
Receivables Advance for so long as any Obligation remains outstanding
and instruments in substantially the form of such Pledged Note
Receivable, Pledged Contract, Pledged Note Receivable Deed of Trust and

protecting its Lien on, or rights and interest in, the Collateral or any of its
rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Security Document or in

responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any
loss or damage thereto other than, to the extent it elects to safekeep the
Pledged Notes Receivable or any of the other Timeshare Instruments related
thereto, to exercise the standard of care in respect thereof which would be
exercised by an institutional custodian similarly situated to the Lender and
similarly engaged in the safekeeping of collateral and, in any case, shall not
be liable or responsible in any way for any diminution in the value of the
Collateral or for any act or default of any manager of the Resort or the
Collection Agent and shall not be liable for any warranty (implied or express)
whether created by statute, at law or pursuant to the Declaration or any other
Timeshare Document. If the Lender shall elect (in its sole discretion) to store
and safekeep the Pledged Notes Receivable and the other related Timeshare
Instruments, the Debtor agrees to pay the Lender a fee, to compensate it for its
costs and expenses in connection therewith, of $5 for each Pledged Note
Receivable delivered to the Lender; such fee shall be payable at the time of the

or termination statement in respect thereof and reassign and deliver to the
Debtor all Pledged Notes Receivables and the other Collateral then in the
physical possession of the Lender or its agent (without recourse and without
representations or warranties of any kind). The Debtor shall bear all
out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and
disbursements of the Lender) in connection with such release, reassignment and
delivery. All such release and/or termination documentation shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Lender and its counsel. To the extent that all obligations
in respect of any Pledged Note Receivable shall have been fully, finally and
indefeasibly paid by the Maker thereof, the Lender, upon receipt of a written
request from the Debtor, shall reassign and deliver to the Debtor such Pledged
Note Receivable and/or Pledged Note Receivable Deed of Trust related thereto and
all other related documentation in the possession of the Lender (all without
recourse and without representations or warranties of any kind), shall release
any Lien the Lender may have therein and shall execute and deliver to the Debtor
any UCC release statement in respect thereof. The Debtor shall bear all expenses
(including, without limitation, legal fees and disbursements of the Lender) in

release documentation shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and its
counsel.

3.14 NOTICE TO MAKERS.
The Debtor authorizes the Lender (but the Lender shall not be obligated)
to communicate at any time and from time to time with any Maker of a Pledged
Note Receivable or any other Person primarily or secondarily liable under a
Pledged Note Receivable with regard to (i) any delinquent payment under, or
other default in respect of, such Pledged Note Receivable, (ii) any other matter
relating to any Timeshare Instrument associated with such Pledged Note
Receivable or (iii) verifying that such Maker did execute and deliver such
Pledged Note Receivable and verifying the terms and provisions thereof, provided
that, the foregoing notwithstanding, the Lender agrees that it shall not, unless
and until an Event of Default shall then exist, communicate with any such Maker
or other such Person with respect to any delinquent payment (or the collection
thereof) or any other default under such Pledged Note Receivable. The Debtor
agrees, upon the request of the Lender (which may be made only if an Event of
Default shall then exist), to notify each Maker of a Pledged Note Receivable in
writing of the assignment to the Lender of its respective Pledged Note
Receivable and the related Timeshare Instruments, the Lender's Lien therein and
any other matter relating thereto. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding
sentence, the Lender shall, during the existence of any Event of Default, have
the right, without first making a request of the Debtor, to notify each Maker of
a Pledged Note Receivable of the assignment to the Lender of its respective
Pledged Note Receivable and the related Timeshare Instruments, the Lender's Lien
therein and any other matter relating thereto. Debtor agrees, as provided in
Section 2.3(a) of this Agreement, to direct each obligor of a Pledged Note
Receivable to remit all payments under its respective Pledged Note Receivable to
the post office box established under the Agency Agreement or to such other
Person as the Lender may designate. The Debtor agrees, as it may be instructed
by the Lender or the Collection Agent, to endorse any checks or other
instruments received directly by it in respect of Pledged Notes Receivable and
to deliver the same as provided in Section 2.3 (a) hereof.
The Debtor shall not undertake any action, direct or indirect, to
terminate, or cause the termination of, the Agency Agreement without having
received the prior written consent of the Lender in respect thereof, and the
Debtor shall comply with all of its obligations thereunder. The Debtor may, in
accordance with the terms of the Agency Agreement, replace the Collection Agent
under the Agency Agreement with another bank, provided that the Debtor shall
have obtained the prior written consent of the Lender in respect thereof. In
connection with any request by the Debtor to the Lender for the Lender's written
consent, as provided in the immediately preceding two sentences, the Lender will
not, if no Default or Event of Default shall then exist, unreasonably withhold
such consent and will, in connection with the granting of any such consent, join
in the execution of any instruments to effect the action then being consented
to, provided that such instruments are in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Lender and its counsel. The Debtor agrees and consents that
the Lender may, at any time during which an Event of Default exists and in its
sole discretion, terminate the Agency Agreement and/or replace the Collection
Agent in respect thereof. If the Lender shall terminate the Agency Agreement,
the Debtor shall cooperate with the Lender in establishing a new Agency
Agreement and a successor Collection Agent. The Debtor acknowledges and agrees
that the Collection Agent with respect to receiving payments under the Pledged
Notes Receivable and collecting and holding the proceeds thereof is the sole
agent of the Lender and that all payments, instruments, and moneys in respect of
the Pledged Notes Receivable are Property of the Lender, are to be promptly
deposited into the Lockbox Account and applied to the Receivables Loan or
otherwise disposed of, all as set forth herein. The Debtor acknowledges that the
Lockbox Account is the exclusive property of the Lender and it confirms that it
has no, and will have no, interest therein. The Debtor acknowledges that the
post office box established under the Agency Agreement is the exclusive property
of the Lender and it confirms that it has no, and will have no, interest
therein. The Debtor agrees to promptly make all payments in respect of the fees
and expenses of the Collection Agent under the Agency Agreement.
41
47
The Debtor shall promptly invoice (through payment books or otherwise)
all Makers in respect of all payments due under their respective Pledged Notes
Receivable, promptly enter into its accounting system all payments in respect of
such Pledged Notes Receivable received and otherwise fully and completely
service such Pledged Notes Receivable. During the existence of any Event of
Default, the Debtor shall, if requested by the Lender, cause such other Person
or Persons, as shall have been selected by the Lender, to service the Pledged
Notes Receivable.

4.18 LABOR RELATIONS.
The employees of the Debtor are not a party to any collective bargaining

4.19 VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY.
Each of the Pledged Notes Receivable is, and will (after the creation
thereof) be, undisputed, bona fide indebtedness (enforceable in accordance with
its terms) of the Maker named therein and shall have been incurred by such Maker
in a fixed sum (as stated therein) with respect to the bona fide sale of a
Timeshare Interval, and no defense, offset, counterclaim, discount or allowance
shall have been asserted in respect of such Pledged Note Receivable and the
Debtor has no knowledge of any threatened assertion of any of the same. Each
such Pledged Note Receivable is genuine and true and no signature or endorsement
thereon has been forged.
To the extent that any of the foregoing representations in this Section
4.19 with respect to any Pledged Note Receivable (such Pledged Note Receivable
is referred to in this paragraph as an "impaired Pledged Note Receivable") shall
have been false or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished and
would constitute an Event of Default under Section 8.1(b) hereof, no action
solely in respect of such Event of Default arising from such impaired Pledged
Note Receivable shall be taken by the Lender under Section 8.2 hereof if, within
20 days after the falsity or misleading nature of any such representation shall
have first become known to any officer of the Debtor or Guarantor, a new Note
Receivable, which when pledged hereunder would constitute an Eligible Note
Receivable, is assigned and delivered to the Lender by the Debtor (such
assignment and delivery shall comply with the document delivery and recordation
requirements set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement) in exchange for such
impaired Pledged Note Receivable or, in the alternative, the Debtor prepays the
Receivables Loan in an amount equal to 80% (or, if at least one scheduled
monthly installment shall have been made in respect of such impaired Pledged
Note Receivable, 90%) of the then outstanding principal balance of such impaired
Pledged Note Receivable together with (to the extent not already previously paid
pursuant to Section 2.3(a) hereof) all accrued interest and a Receivables
Prepayment Premium in respect of the portion of the Receivables Loan being so
prepaid, provided that, if the sum of the principal amount of the Receivables
Loan which is then being prepaid pursuant to this paragraph and which was
prepaid pursuant to this paragraph within the then last 10 Business Days shall
not exceed 15% of the principal balance of the Receivables Loan outstanding at
the beginning of such 10 Business Day period, the aforesaid accrued interest
shall be paid as otherwise provided in Section 2.3(a) hereof. In either case,
the Lender will, upon receipt of the aforesaid new Eligible Note Receivable or
the aforesaid prepayment, release its Lien in and to the such impaired Pledged
Note Receivable, the Pledged Note Receivable Deed of Trust that relates thereto
and the other documents, instruments, title insurance and chattel paper that
specifically relate thereto and all proceeds, Property rights, privileges and
benefits that specifically arise from any of the same and will endorse and
deliver to the Debtor such impaired Pledged Note Receivable and reassign and (to
the extent it has possession of the same) deliver to the Debtor said Pledged
Note Receivable Deed of Trust and said other documents, instruments, title
insurance policy and chattel paper to the extent, but only to the extent, that
the said other documents, instruments, title insurance or chattel paper are
related specifically and solely to such impaired Pledged Note Receivable (such
endorsement, delivery and assignment being without recourse to, and without
representations or warranties of any kind from, the
46
52
Lender). The failure of the Debtor to either deliver a new Eligible Note
Receivable or to effect a prepayment in respect of an impaired Pledged Note
Receivable, as provided for in this paragraph, shall be an immediate Event of
Default in respect of which the Lender shall have all of its rights and remedies
under Section 8.2 of this Agreement and as otherwise provided for in the
Security Documents. The Debtor shall bear all out-of-pocket expenses (including,
without limitation, the reasonable legal fees and the disbursements of the
Lender) in connection with such release, endorsement, delivery and assignment.
All documentation related thereto shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Lender
and its counsel.
4.20 VALIDITY OF LIENS GRANTED TO LENDER.
Except with respect to the Permitted Exceptions and Liens subject to the
sharing provisions of the last paragraph of Section 3.1 hereof, all Liens
granted to the Lender in respect of the Collateral are, and shall continue to

obligations incurred through an agreement, contingent or otherwise, by
such Person:

Property or assets constituting security therefor;

obligation of the primary obligor against loss in respect
thereof.
7.8 COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.
60
66
The Debtor shall comply, and shall cause the Resorts to be in
compliance, in a timely and diligent fashion with
(a) all Environmental Protection Laws (including, without
limitation, all federal, state and local environmental or
pollution-control laws, regulations, orders and decrees governing the
emission of waste water effluent, the treatment, transportation,
disposal, generation and storage of solid and hazardous waste, hazardous
and toxic substances and air pollution, and/or setting forth general
environmental conditions),
(b) any other applicable requirements for conducting, on a timely
basis, periodic tests and monitoring for contamination of ground water,
surface water, air and/or land, and for biological toxicity of the
aforesaid and
(c) the regulations of each relevant federal, state or local
authority administering environmental laws, ordinances or regulations,
to the extent that the failure to so comply could have a material and
adverse effect on the business, prospects, profits, Property or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Debtor or the Resort.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Debtor shall not
release or otherwise dispose of any Hazardous Substance or any other substance
regulated, controlled or described as hazardous under any Environmental
Protection Law on or beneath any real Property owned, leased or otherwise used
by the Debtor or allow the same to occur with respect to the Resort; and no
asbestos, urea formaldehyde foam, polychlorinated biphenyls, aluminum wire or
lead-containing paint shall be installed or used on any such Property or the
Resort. The Debtor shall not take or suffer to be taken any act or omission that
would subject it or the Resort to liability under any Environmental Protection
Law which liability could have a material and adverse effect on the business,
prospects, profits, Property or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Debtor
or the Resort.
The Lender shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to notify
any state, federal or local governmental authority of information which may come
to its attention with respect to Hazardous Substances on or emanating from the
Resort and the Debtor irrevocably releases the Lender from any claims of loss,
damage, liability, expense or injury relating to or arising from, directly or
indirectly, any such disclosure. The Lender will notify the Debtor prior to or
contemporaneously with any action taken by the Lender pursuant to this
paragraph, provided that the failure by the Lender to provide such notification
shall not affect any action so taken.
Without limiting the scope and the effectiveness of the foregoing
undertakings in this Section 7.8, the Debtor agrees to indemnify and hold the
Lender harmless from and against any losses, liabilities, damages, claims,
causes of action, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees and disbursements), arising from, incurred by, or asserted against, the
Lender in connection with any cleanup, removal or similar protective or remedial
action that may be required or undertaken by any governmental authority as a
result of the presence of any Hazardous Substances at the Resort, the release of
any other Hazardous Substance on or from the Resort or the generation,
treatment, storage, handling or disposal of any Hazardous Substances on or from
the Resort (unless such presence, release, generation, treatment, storage,
handling or disposal is directly caused by the Lender or by any agent of the
Lender acting under the Lender's direct orders). The liability of the Debtor to
the Lender under this paragraph shall survive any assignment, transfer,
discharge or foreclosure of the Inventory Deed of Trust or any transfer of the
Resort (or any portion thereof) by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and
any one or more transfers of the Resort (or any portion thereof) by deed or
otherwise, by whosoever made.
61
67
If the Debtor fails to diligently take any action required under this
Section 7.8 or by any governmental entity with respect to the cleanup, control
or reporting of any Hazardous Substances, materials or wastes in, on, from or
under the Resort, the Lender, at its option, may enter upon the Resort, retain
such experts and consultants at the expense of the Debtor and take such action
as the Lender deems advisable, and the Lender may advance such sums of money as
it deems necessary, with respect to the cleanup, control or reporting of any
such substances, materials or wastes in, on or under the Resort. The Debtor
shall pay to the Lender immediately and upon demand, all sums of money so
advanced or expended by the Lender pursuant to this paragraph, together with
interest on each such advance at the Default Rate, and all such sums, and the
interest thereon, shall be secured by the Collateral. The Lender will notify the
Debtor prior to or contemporaneously with any action taken by the Lender
pursuant to this paragraph, provided that the failure by the Lender to provide
such notification shall not affect any action so taken.
7.9 TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES; PRINCIPAL PROPERTIES.
The Debtor shall not enter into any transaction including, without
limitation, the purchase, sale or exchange of Property or the rendering of any
service with any Affiliate except in the ordinary course of, and pursuant to the
reasonable requirements of, the Debtor's business and upon fair and reasonable
terms no less favorable to the Debtor than would be obtained in a comparable
arm's-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate. Steamboat shall have no
Subsidiaries.
7.10 USE OF THE LENDER NAME.
The Debtor shall not, nor shall it permit any Affiliate to, without the
prior written consent of the Lender, use the name of the Lender or the name of
any affiliate of the Lender in connection with any of its respective businesses
or activities, except in connection with internal business matters and as
required in dealings with governmental agencies.
7.11 SUBORDINATED OBLIGATIONS.
The Debtor shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) permit any payment to
be made in respect of any indebtedness, liabilities or obligations, direct or
contingent, which are subordinated by the terms thereof or by separate
instrument to the payment of principal of, and interest on, the Notes except in
accordance with the terms of such subordination, (b) permit the amendment,
rescission or other modification of any such subordination provisions of any of
the Debtor's subordinated obligations in such a manner as to affect adversely
the Lender's Lien or the prior position of the Notes, or (c) permit the
unscheduled prepayment or redemption of all or any part of any subordinated
obligations of the Debtor except in accordance with the terms of such
subordination and except as provided in this Section 7.11 in respect of
indebtedness extended to Steamboat by Preferred Equities and except for payments
pursuant to tax sharing agreements. The Debtor shall cause the Guarantor to
subordinate all indebtedness, liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent,
owing to it from the Debtor to the payment of the Obligations. The Debtor shall
cause each of its other Affiliates to subordinate all indebtedness, liabilities
or obligations, direct or contingent, owing to it from the Debtor to the payment
of the Obligations. The terms of such subordination shall be satisfactory to the
Lender. Such subordination may permit payments by the Debtor in respect of such
subordinated indebtedness, liabilities or obligations if (i) in the case of all
such indebtedness other than that owing to Preferred Equities and except for
payments pursuant to tax sharing agreements, such payments are regularly
scheduled payments and the terms of such regularly scheduled payments are
acceptable to the Lender and, in the case of such indebtedness owing to
Preferred Equities, no such payments (whether for interest, principal or
otherwise), shall be permitted or made for so long as the Inventory Loan is
outstanding and thereafter any payments of principal and interest may be made
62
68
(subject to the requirements of clause (ii) and (iii) which follow), (ii) no
Default or Event of Default then exists or, after giving effect to such payment,
would exist and (iii) the Debtor would not be rendered insolvent, made unable to
pay its debts as they come due or be left without adequate capital to pursue its
business after giving effect to such payment.
7.12 NOTICE OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Promptly upon becoming aware of the existence thereof, the Debtor shall
deliver to the Lender written notification of the institution of any litigation,
legal proceeding or dispute with any Person, entity or governmental authority in
any way involving the Debtor, the Guarantor, the Resort, the Collateral or any
of the Debtor's other assets as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an
adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, would materially
adversely affect the Debtor, the Guarantor, the Resort the Collateral or any of
the Debtor's other real Property assets.
7.13 FURTHER ASSURANCES.
The Debtor shall from time to time execute and deliver to the Lender
such other instruments, certificates and documents and shall take such other

fully perfect the rights granted or intended to be granted by the Debtor to the
Lender pursuant to the terms of, this Agreement, the Notes or any other Security
Document. The Debtor agrees, in its capacity as Declarant (to the extent
permitted by applicable law), to cause the Association to take such action and
to do all other things as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the
Lender in order to implement or effectuate the provisions of this Agreement and
the other Security Documents.

8.2 DEFAULT REMEDIES.
(a) ACCELERATION OF OBLIGATIONS; RIGHT TO DISPOSE OF COLLATERAL.
If an Event of Default under Section 8.1(f) of this Agreement shall
occur, then the Obligations shall, automatically and
67
73
without notice or demand by the Lender, become at once due and payable,
and the Debtor will forthwith pay to the Lender, in addition to any and
all sums and charges otherwise due in respect of the Obligations, the
entire principal of and interest accrued on the Receivables Note and the
Inventory Note and, to the extent permitted by law, a premium in an
amount equal to the amount which would be payable if the Debtor then had
elected to prepay the Receivables Note at a premium pursuant to Section
2.3 of this Agreement. If any other Event of Default shall occur, all of
the Obligations shall, at the option of the Lender, and without notice
or demand by the Lender, become at once due and payable, and the Debtor
will forthwith pay to the Lender, in addition to any and all sums and
charges otherwise due in respect of the Obligations, the entire
principal of and interest accrued on each of the Receivables Note and
the Inventory Note and, to the extent permitted by law, a premium in an
amount equal to the amount which would be payable if the Debtor then had
elected to prepay the Receivables Note at a premium pursuant to Section
2.3 of this Agreement. The Lender shall have all the rights and remedies
of a secured party under the Colorado Uniform Commercial Code, all the
rights and remedies of a beneficiary under the Inventory Deed of Trust
and all other legal and equitable rights to which it may be entitled,
including, without limitation and without further notice to Debtor, the
right to continue to collect all payments being made on the Pledged
Notes Receivable and to apply such payments to the Obligations and to
▇▇▇ in its own name (or the name of the Debtor) the obligor under any
defaulted Pledged Note Receivable. The Lender shall also have the right
to require the Debtor to assemble the Collateral, at the Debtor's
expense, and make it available to the Lender at a place to be designated
by the Lender, which is reasonably convenient to both parties, and the
Lender shall have the right to take immediate possession of the
Collateral and may enter any of the premises of the Debtor or wherever
the Collateral shall be located, in accordance with applicable law, and
to keep and store the same on said premises until sold (and if said
premises be the Property of the Debtor, the Debtor agrees not to charge
the Lender for storage thereof for a period of at least 90 days after
sale or disposition of such Collateral). The Debtor and the Lender agree
that 10 days' notice to the Debtor of any public or private sale or
other disposition of Collateral shall be reasonable notice thereof and
such sale shall be at such location(s) as the Lender shall designate in
said notice. The Lender shall have the right to bid at any such sale on
its own behalf.
In view of the fact that federal and state securities laws may
impose certain restrictions on the methods by which a sale of
Collateral, if comprised of Securities, may be effected after an Event
of Default, the Debtor agrees that, upon the occurrence and continuance
or existence of an Event of Default, the Lender may, from time to time,
attempt to sell all or any part of such Collateral by means of a private
placement restricting the bidding and prospective purchasers to those
who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment
only and not for, or with a view to, distribution. In so doing, and
without limiting any other means of private placement, the Lender may
solicit offers to buy such Collateral, or any part of it for cash, from
a limited number of investors deemed by the Lender, in its reasonable
judgment, to be responsible parties who might be interested in
purchasing the Collateral, and if the Lender solicits such offers from
not less than 4 such investors (and otherwise acts in good faith), then
the acceptance by the Lender of the highest offer obtained therefrom
shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of
such Collateral.
(b) APPLICATION OF COLLATERAL; TERMINATION OF AGREEMENTS. Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may, with or without
proceeding with such sale or foreclosure or demanding payment of the
Obligations, without notice, terminate the Lender's further performance
under this Agreement to extend Receivables Advances to the Debtor,
without further liability or obligation by the Lender, and may also, at
any time, appropriate and apply (as provided below) to any Obligations
any and all Collateral in its possession and any and all balances,
credits, deposits, accounts, reserves, indebtedness or other monies due
or owing to the
68
74
Debtor held by the Lender hereunder or under any other financing
agreement or otherwise, whether accrued or not. Neither such
termination, nor the termination of this Agreement by lapse of time, the
giving of notice or otherwise, shall absolve, release or otherwise
affect the liability of the Debtor in respect of transactions prior to
such termination, or affect any of the Liens, security interests,
rights, powers and remedies of the Lender hereunder, but they shall, in
all events, continue until all of the Obligations are satisfied.
(c) APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. To the extent permitted under
applicable law, the proceeds of any exercise of rights with respect to
Collateral or any part thereof shall be paid to and applied as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of
(i) all costs and charges in connection therewith,
including, without limitation, (A) attorneys' fees for
advice, counsel or other legal services, (B) costs and
expenses incurred as a result of pursuing, reclaiming,
seeking to reclaim, taking, keeping, removing, storing,
advertising for sale, selling and foreclosing on the
Collateral and any and all other charges and expenses in
connection therewith, and (C) any costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, costs and expenses in the
management and operation of the Resort) provided for in
the Assignment of Rents, the Inventory Deed of Trust or
any other Security Document,
(ii) all taxes, assessments or Liens superior to
the Lien of this Agreement or the other Security
Documents, except any taxes, assessments or other superior
Liens subject to which any sale of Collateral may have
been made,
(iii) all fees, costs and expenses as set forth in
Section 10.2 of this Agreement, and
(iv) all Release Fees;
SECOND, towards the payment of accrued and unpaid interest
then due and payable, if any, at the Default Rate in respect of
the Loan,
THIRD, towards the payment of all other accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, then due and payable in respect of the Loan,
FOURTH, to the payment of the principal amount of the Loan
(and any prepayment premium payable in respect thereof), and
FIFTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to the
Debtor, its successors and assigns, or to whomsoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same, provided that if any
Obligations then due and payable shall not have been paid in
full, any such surplus shall continue to be held as Collateral
hereunder and shall continue to be subject to the terms and
conditions hereof until such Obligations then due and payable
shall have been paid in full.
The Debtor shall remain liable hereunder for payment of any
deficiency owing on the Obligations after application of such proceeds.
69
75
To the extent that any amount allocated to any of the payment
categories set forth above is insufficient to fully satisfy all of the
Obligations referred to in said category, such amount shall be allocated
ratably to each of such Obligations in accordance with the ratio that
the amount of such Obligation bears to the aggregate amount of such
Obligations referred to in such category.
(d) REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All covenants, conditions, provisions,
warranties, guaranties, indemnities and other undertakings of the Debtor
contained in this Agreement, or in any document referred to herein or
contained in any agreement supplementary hereto or in any schedule given
to the Lender or contained in any other agreement between the Lender and
the Debtor, heretofore, concurrently or hereafter entered into,
including, without limitation, the Inventory Deed of Trust, shall be
deemed cumulative to and not in derogation or substitution of any of the
terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of the Debtor herein
contained. The failure or delay of the Lender to exercise or enforce any
rights, Liens, powers or remedies hereunder or under any of the
aforesaid agreements or other documents or security or Collateral shall
not operate as a waiver of such Liens, rights, powers and remedies, but
all such Liens, rights, powers and remedies shall continue in full force
and effect until the Loan and all other Obligations shall have been
fully satisfied. All Liens, rights, powers and remedies herein provided
for are cumulative and none are exclusive.
The acceptance by the Lender at any time and from time to time of
partial payments of the Obligations shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of any Event of Default then existing. No waiver by the 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 the Lender in
exercising any right or remedy under the Security 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 Security Documents or
otherwise.
SECTION 9. REVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS AND LIENS
The Debtor expressly agrees that if the Debtor makes a payment to the
Lender, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared
to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise required to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal
law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such repayment, the
Obligations or any part thereof intended to be satisfied and the Liens provided
for hereunder securing the same shall be revived and continued in full force and
effect as if said payment had not been made.
SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS
