(ii)   Mandatory Prepayments . If at any time and for any reason, the outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Inventory Loan Component shall exceed the amount which satisfies the Loan to Retail Value Ratio, then, within five (5) Business Days following Borrower’s receipt of telecopied notice from Lender of the occurrence of such excess or, absent such telecopied notice, within fifteen (15) days after the end of the calendar month in which such excess occurred, Borrower shall either: (x) prepay the principal balance of the Inventory Loan Component in an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate principal amount of the Inventory Loan Component and the amount necessary to comply with the Loan to Retail Value Ratio of the Inventory or (y) Borrower shall grant to Lender a first mortgage Lien on additional Intervals from Eligible Resorts so that the Retail Value of the Inventory, including such additional Intervals, equals or exceeds the Required Retail Value of the Inventory and the Loan to Retail Value Ratio is satisfied.

Furthermore, if either: (i) the ratio between the outstanding principal balance of the Receivable Loan Component and the aggregate outstanding principal balances of the Acquisition Loan Component and the Inventory Loan Component shall be less than .5 to 1 or (ii) the ratio between the outstanding principal balance of the Receivable Loan Component and the outstanding principal balance of the Acquisition Loan Component shall be less than 1 to 1 (each an “ Event of Non Funding ”), then Lender shall not be obligated to loan nor shall Borrower be entitled to borrow any Advance of the Inventory Loan Component or the Acquisition Loan Component.
