Section 2.7. Interest Rate Limitation
The
provisions of this

Documents are
hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatever will

payment in excess

obligation to be performed or fulfilled
is hereby reduced to the limit of such
validity. In addition, if, from any
circumstance whatever, the Lender
should
20

amount equal to
Lender's Release Price, which amount shall be
applied,
until paid in full, to
the payment of the outstanding amount of
the
Project Loan Amount
corresponding
to the Project
within which the
Timeshare
Interest was sold.
(2) In the event that,
for any reason, the
aggregate payments to
Lender of
the Lender's
Release Price for any Project Loan are
less than
the
Minimum Required
Principal Payment for such Project Loan
during any
calendar
quarter, then within 15 days after the end of such calendar
quarter,
the Borrower shall
make an additional
quarterly payment on such
Project Loan to
the Lender from Borrower's own funds of an amount equal to
the
difference between the
Minimum Required
Principal Payment for such
calendar
quarter and the aggregate payments to Lender of Lender's
Release
Price for
such calendar quarter with respect to such Project Loan.
(3) Upon a Project Specific Default and so long as there is no
other
Event of
Default or Potential
Default, the

Project Specific Default), repay the outstanding balance of the
Project
Loan Amount corresponding to the Project Specific Default.

Loan Repayment
Date for such Project,

date repay
the entire outstanding
principal amount of such Project Loan

Amounts
for all
Projects at any time exceeds the Loan Amount, the Borrower must
immediately make
a principal repayment in an amount sufficient to
eliminate
any such excess, which payment shall be applied by Lender in
its
discretion.
(6) On the Maturity
Date, the Borrower is required to repay the
entire outstanding
principal amount of
the Loan together with all accrued
and unpaid
interest and all other amounts owed to Lender under the
Loan
Documents.
Section 2.9. Adjustment to Lender's Release
Price.
Lender, in
its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right to adjust
the Lender's Release Price applicable to a Project at any time before the
applicable Project Loan Repayment
21
<PAGE>
Date to ensure that such fee is sufficient
to repay the Project Loan Amount upon
the sale of 75% of the planned Timeshare
Interests within such Project.
Section 2.10. Prepayment of the Loan
The
Borrower shall have
the option to prepay each Project Loan in full or
in part without penalty upon 30 days prior
written notice to the Lender.
Section 2.11. Payments
(a) All
payments of principal,
interest and Fees on the Loan must be made
to the Lender by federal funds wire transfer as instructed by the Lender in
immediately available funds not later than
2:00 p.m. Eastern
Standard Time on
the dates such payments are to be made.
Any payment
received after 2:00 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time will be deemed
received by the Lender on the next Business
Day.
(b) If any
payment of principal, interest or fees to be made by the
Borrower becomes due on a day other than a
Business Day,
such payment will
be
made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time will be
included in computing any interest with
respect to such payment.
(c)
Throughout the term of the Loan, interest and fees will be
calculated
on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the period for which
interest and fees are being charged
predicated on a year consisting of 360 days.
Section 2.12. Applications of Payments;
Late Charges
(a)
Payments received by
the Lender pursuant to
the terms hereof will be
applied in the following manner:
(1) first, to the payment of all expenses, charges, costs and fees
incurred
by or payable to the Lender and for which the Borrower is
obligated
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents;
(2) second, to the
payment of all
interest accrued to
the date of
such
payment, except that
the payments made
pursuant to Section
2.8(1)
will
be applied to the payment of principal in accordance with
subparagraph (3) below and not the payment of interest; and
(3) third to the payment of principal.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, after the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, all amounts
received by the
Lender from any party will be applied in
such order as the
Lender, in its
sole
discretion, may elect.
(b) If any
installment of
interest and/or the payment of principal is not
received by the Lender within 5 Business
Days after the due
date thereof, then
in addition to the remedies conferred upon the Lender pursuant to Section 8.2
hereof and the other Loan Documents, the
22
<PAGE>
Lender may elect to assess a late charge of
4% of the amount of the installment
due and unpaid, which such late charge will
be added to the delinquent amount to
compensate the Lender for the expense of
handling the delinquency. The Borrower
and the Lender agree that such late charge
represents a good
faith and fair and
reasonable estimate of the probable cost to
the Lender of such delinquency. The
Borrower acknowledges that during the time that any such
amount is in default,
the Lender will incur losses which are
impracticable, costly and inconvenient to
ascertain and that such late charge
represents a
reasonable sum considering all
of the circumstances existing on the Effective Date of
this Loan Agreement and
represents a reasonable estimate of the losses the Lender
will incur by reason
of late payment. The Borrower further agrees that proof of
actual losses would
be costly, inconvenient, impracticable and extremely difficult to fix.
Acceptance of such late charge will not
constitute a waiver of
the default with
respect to the overdue installment, and will not prevent the Lender from
exercising any of the other rights and
remedies available hereunder.
Section 2.13. Approval Period
(a) During
the Approval
Period, Borrower may request the approval of a

Commitments and Project Documents

the Approval
Period, the Borrower may submit to the Lender
projects proposed to be included as
Projects, all pursuant
to and in accordance
with the terms of this Loan Agreement. Upon
approval as a Project and compliance

order to include a proposed project as a Project, the Borrower
must
submit to the Lender a complete
description of the
proposed project,
including
the Project Underwriting Documents, and evidence that the proposed project

Owner,
which must be a Person which is owned 100% by
Borrower or Guarantor, or is
otherwise acceptable to Lender. The Project Documents relating to
that Project
will contain a provision whereby the Project Owner, in addition to Borrower,
assumes all of the obligations of Borrower then, or at any time
in the future,
contained in this Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and agrees

Project Commitment
containing the original signature of Borrower accepting the supplemental
terms
and conditions set forth in the Project
Commitment;
provided however,
that no
Project Commitment will be issued with respect to any
proposed project
unless
the Available Amount (plus any cash equity
provided by the Borrower (as provided
for in the Project Commitment)) is at least equal to the amount required to
complete the acquisition of the Land and
the performance of the Development Work
for such proposed project. The terms of each Project

related Project Loan and the related
Project Security Documents.

security
acceptable to the Lender with respect to such unpaid taxes.
