the lesser of: (i) the Borrowing Base or (ii) the maximum aggregate
Commitment of $100,000,000.00.
(iii) Note Evidencing
Borrower’s Obligations .
Borrower’s obligations to pay the principal of and interest

Loan Component shall be evidenced by the Receivable Note to Lender,
which Receivable Note shall be dated as of the date hereof and be
in the principal amount of $100,000,000.00. The Receivable Note
will mature on the Final Maturity Date applicable to the Receivable
Loan Component, bear interest as provided in Section 2.3 hereof and
be otherwise entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the stated principal amount of the Receivable Note,
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan with respect
to the Receivable Loan Component at any time shall be the aggregate
principal amount owing on the Receivable Note at such time. Lender
is hereby authorized to record in its internal books and records
the date and amount of each Advance made by Lender to Borrower with
respect to the Receivable Loan Component, the interest rate and
interest period applicable thereto and each repayment thereof; and
such books and records shall, as between Borrower and Lender,
absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of the
accuracy of the information contained therein. Failure by Lender to
so record any Advance made by Lender to Borrower with respect to
the Receivable Loan Component, (or any error in such recordation)
or any payment thereon shall not affect the Obligations of Borrower
under this Agreement or under the Receivable Note and shall not
adversely affect Lender’s rights under this Agreement with
respect to the repayment thereof.
(iv) Making of
Advances . Upon receipt by Lender from
Borrower of a written request for Advance with respect to the
Receivable Loan Component in accordance with Section 5 hereof and
Borrower’s satisfaction of the requirements set forth in
Section 5 hereof, Lender shall fund such Advance to Borrower in
accordance with Borrower’s written request as provided in
Section 5 hereof.

Borrower for said Real Property; or [B] with respect to the
improved Real Property, 75% of the actual cost paid by Borrower for
such Real Property or (ii) $20,000,000.00; provided, however, that
the fair market value of any such property, as determined by Lender
in its sole discretion based on an acceptable appraisal, shall in
each case equal or exceed such actual costs.

applicable Interest Rate. Each Advance shall bear interest at the
applicable Interest Rate as of the date of Lender’s wiring of

repayment of the applicable Loan Component (if received by Lender
later than 12 noon, Eastern Standard Time, then interest accrual
shall be through the next Business Day following such receipt).
Interest will accrue daily, and shall be payable monthly in

the fifth (5th) day after notice from Lender to Borrower advising
Borrower of such insufficiency.

trailing 6 month period computed monthly. If the 1 to 1 ratio is
not maintained for any such six month period, and during that same
period, the outstanding principal balance of the Receivable Loan
Component is less than $40,000,000, Borrower shall pay Lender a fee
equal to ¼% of the difference between the outstanding
principal balance of the Receivable Loan Component and $40,000,000.

principal balance of the Receivable Loan Component and the

to the contrary in Section 2.2(b) and 2.2(c) hereof, the aggregate
principal balance of the Acquisition Loan Component and the
Inventory Loan Component shall not exceed $40,000,000.00; and (iii)
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in any other Loan

Borrower to exceed a maximum aggregate amount of
$100,000,000.00.

upon the sale by a Purchaser of an Interval, the new Purchaser of
the Interval may be substituted as obligor under the Eligible Note
Receivable in question, provided that: (i) said new Purchaser
assumes in writing all of the obligations of the original obligor
under the Eligible Note Receivable in question; (ii) the Eligible
Note Receivable continues to meet all of the criteria for an
Eligible Note Receivable as set forth herein and (iii) the new
Purchaser has made a cash down payment equal to at least 10% of the
original sales price of the Interval in question, which down
payment shall be in addition to the cash down payment made by the
original obligor.
3.8
Purchaser/Criteria . All
Eligible Notes Receivable pledged as Collateral will be
underwritten in a manner consistent with the Borrower’s
general underwriting criteria, as approved in writing by Lender,
including, without limitation, the requirement for a cash down
payment of at least 15% of the sales price of the Interval for any
Purchaser with a FICO indicator less than 600. Borrower shall not
materially alter its general underwriting criteria without the
prior written approval of Lender, which approval, Lender may
withhold in its sole discretion. On a semi-annual basis, Borrower
shall provide Lender with written certification that the
underwriting criteria as approved by Lender remain in full force
and effect and have not been revised or altered without
Lender’s consent.
3.9 Substitution of
Inventory . Lender agrees that Borrower
may, from time to time during the Term hereof, replace any Interval
or Intervals by granting to Lender a first mortgage Lien on a new
Interval or Intervals owned by the Borrower at an Eligible Resort.
In granting to Lender a first mortgage Lien on any such new
Interval or Intervals, Borrower shall comply with the document
delivery and recordation requirements set forth in Section 4 of
this Agreement and Borrower shall deliver to Lender its written
certification that the Retail Value of the Inventory after any such
substitution, is equal to or greater than the Required Retail Value
and satisfies the Loan to Value Ratio. In connection with any such
replacement of Inventory under this Section 3.9 or Section
2.5(c)(i) hereof, Borrower may propose to Lender that one or more
additional time-share plans and projects owned and operated by
Borrower be included among the Eligible Resorts . Any such proposal
will be in writing, and will be accompanied or supported by the due
diligence and supporting Borrower, Affiliate, project, financial
and related information identified in Section 4 hereto, and such
other information as Lender may require. Borrower will reasonably
cooperate with Lender’s underwriting and due diligence, and
Borrower will be responsible for payment upon billing for
Lender’s out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.
Subject to Lender’s satisfactory underwriting and due
diligence review, including satisfaction of the conditions in
Section 4 and Section 5 hereof as they relate to such additional
time-share resorts, Lender may, but shall not be required to,
approve one or more such additional time-share resorts, including
future phases or condominiums in an Existing Eligible Resort, as an
Eligible Resort. Subject in each instance to Lender’s
acceptable underwriting and due diligence review, and
Lender’s prior written approval, any project as may be
approved by Lender after the Closing Date, if any, is hereinafter
referred to singly as an " Additional Eligible
Resort " and collectively as the
" Additional Eligible Resorts
."

3.10 Cross
Collateralization . The Collateral
secures all of the Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement.
Upon repayment of any Loan Component and the satisfaction by
Borrower of all of the Obligations with respect to any Loan
Component, the Collateral shall continue to secure the remaining
Loan Components to the extent outstanding as provided
herein.
3.11 Security Interest
in All Pledged Notes Receivable .
Lender shall have a continuing security interest in all of the
Pledged Notes Receivable, and Lender may collect all payments made
under or in respect of all such Notes Receivable, including,
without limitation, Eligible Notes Receivable that are or may
become ineligible, until any of the same may be released by Lender,
if at all, pursuant to Section 12.10 hereof or Section 7.2(a)
hereof. Notwithstanding anything heretofore to the contrary, unless
and until an Event of Default shall occur, Borrower, as agent for
and on behalf of Lender, shall retain possession of and collect all
payments under or in respect of all Notes Receivable. By executing
this Agreement, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is holding
such Notes Receivable as bailee and agent for Lender. Borrower
shall hold and designate such Notes Receivable in a manner that
clearly indicates that they are being held by Borrower as bailee on
behalf of Lender.
3.12 The Modification to
Inventory Mortgages . If requested by
Lender in order to fully secure the Obligations arising under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the Obligations arising
with respect to the Acquisition Loan Component, Borrower shall
execute and deliver to Lender, in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Lender, the Modifications to Inventory
Mortgages.
