                  COLLATERAL. (a) Borrower shall not take any action (nor permit

pledged to Agent by reducing the interest rate charged and/or (2) 20% of the

                  (b) If a Note Receivable is a newly originated Eligible Note
Receivable which is replacing an existing Eligible Note Receivable pledged as
Collateral under the Loan Agreement and the proceeds have been used to finance
the purchase of an Interval which is being upgraded by the consumer borrower to
a more expensive Interval, then (a) the principal balance of the existing
Eligible Note Receivable which is being upgraded may still be included for
purposes of calculating the Availability for a period of time expiring on the
earlier to occur of (i) the 31st day after the consumer documents effecting the
upgrade have been executed or (ii) the date on which any payment on such
Eligible Note Receivable becomes thirty (30) or more days past due, and (b) on
or before the second (2nd) Business Day after the expiration of the statutory
rescission period in connection with any consumer documents executed effecting
any upgrade involving an Eligible Note Receivable and in any event within ten
(10) days of such upgrade, Borrower shall deliver to Lender or its designee the
original of the new promissory note executed in connection with such upgrade
duly endorsed in blank by Borrower and Borrower will cause all payments made
with respect to such new promissory note to be forwarded to the Lockbox.

                  (c) SECURITY INTEREST IN ALL PLEDGED NOTES RECEIVABLE AND
INTERVALS. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each of Lenders hereunder,
Heller (with respect to the Inventory Loan and the Supplemental Loan), Textron
and Sovereign has been and is hereby granted a security interest in all of
Borrower's Notes Receivable and Intervals securing the Loan Agreement, the
Inventory Loan Agreement, as amended and restated, the Textron Facility, and the
Sovereign Facility. As consideration for Lenders' and Agent's agreements under
this Loan Agreement and the Inventory Loan Agreement, as amended and restated,
Borrower agrees that to secure the payment and performance of the Inventory Loan
Agreement, as amended and restated, and the Loan Agreement, Borrower does hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably assign, pledge and grant to Lenders and Heller
(with respect to the Inventory Loan and the Supplemental Loan), (i) a second
priority continuing security interest and lien in and to the right, title, and
interest of Borrower in all of Borrower's Notes Receivable and Intervals pledged
to Sovereign as Primary Secured Lender, and (ii) a second priority continuing
security interest and lien in and to the right, title, and interest of Borrower
in all of Borrower's Notes Receivable and Intervals pledged to Textron as
Primary Secured Lender, and all proceeds, profits, extensions, additions,
improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutions and replacements of the
foregoing (the "Second Priority Collateral"). Borrower further acknowledges and
agrees that upon repayment in full of the Textron Facility and/or the Sovereign
Facility, Lenders' security interest in the Second Priority Collateral securing
such facilities shall automatically become a first priority security interest
securing the outstanding principal balance, interest and all other payment
obligations under the Loan Agreement, and Borrower shall take such steps as
Lenders and Agent may request to deliver such collateral to Agent on behalf of
Lenders and to confirm Lenders' first priority security interest therein.
Borrower, Agent and Lenders acknowledge and agree that Borrower has assigned,
pledged, and granted to Textron and Sovereign equal second priority continuing
security interest and lien (subordinated in priority and interest only to
Lenders) in and to the right, title, and interest of Borrower in all of
Borrower's Notes Receivable pledged to Lenders as Primary Secured Lenders.
Lenders shall have a continuing security interest in all of Borrower's Notes
Receivable and Intervals pledged to Lenders, including all Financed Notes
Receivable, all ineligible





                                      -5-
<PAGE>

Notes Receivable in the Ineligible Note Portfolio, and any Notes Receivable or
Intervals pledged to Textron or Sovereign, and, subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement, Lenders and Agent may collect all proceeds derived from such
Intervals and all payments made under or in respect of all such pledged Notes
Receivable, including, without limitation, Eligible Notes Receivable that are or
may become ineligible, until any of the same may be released by Lenders and
Agent, if at all, pursuant to this Loan Agreement. Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that, pursuant to the foregoing terms contained in this Section, each of
Agent (in respect of this Loan), Heller (in respect of the Inventory Loan and
the Supplemental Loan), Textron and Sovereign shall be deemed to hold in
possession as agent and on behalf of each of the other lenders all of Borrower's
Notes Receivable pledged to such lender (or, as the case may be, Lenders) as
Primary Secured Lender(s) and upon the full payment of the outstanding principal
balance, interest and all other payment obligations by Borrower to such Primary
Secured Lender(s) under the Loan, the Inventory Loan, the Supplemental Loan, the
Textron Facility, or the Sovereign Facility, as the case may be, such Primary
Secured Lender(s) may, in accordance with the allocation and distribution
priority of the Loan Agreements of such Primary Secured Lender(s), at Borrower's
sole cost and expense deliver possession to the remaining lenders, whose loans
to Borrower have not been repaid in full, all of Borrower's Notes Receivable
pledged to such Primary Secured Lender(s). Pursuant to the foregoing and
notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary, Borrower further acknowledges
and agrees that Lenders and Agent, upon the full repayment of the outstanding
principal balance, interest and all other payment obligations under the Loan,
the Inventory Loan and the Supplemental Loan, shall not be obligated to deliver
possession to Borrower of the Financed Notes Receivable pledged by Borrower to
Lenders to secure the Loan and in Agent's or each Lender's possession.
Notwithstanding anything heretofore to the contrary, unless and until an Event
of Default shall occur Borrower shall retain possession of and collect all
payments under or in respect of all Notes Receivable in the Ineligible Note
Portfolio. Each of Lenders and Agent agrees that it will not file or record a
financing statement with respect to any Financed Note Receivable, except to the
extent that Lenders are or become Primary Secured Lenders with respect to such
Note Receivable.

                  (d) INELIGIBLE NOTE PORTFOLIO. In addition to the other
Collateral and as consideration for Lenders' agreements herein, Borrower agrees
that to secure the payment and performance of the Loan, Borrower does hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably assign, pledge and grant to Lenders hereunder,
together with Heller (in respect of the Inventory Loan and the Supplemental
Loan), Textron and Sovereign (as more particularly described in the
Intercreditor Agreement), a first priority continuing security interest and lien
in and to the right, title, and interest of Borrower in the Ineligible Note
Portfolio, which shall include the notes and mortgages as set forth on the
attached SCHEDULE G, and all proceeds, profits, extensions, additions,
improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutions and replacements of the
foregoing (collectively, the "Ineligible Note Portfolio"). To perfect the
security interest of Lenders in the Ineligible Note Portfolio, Borrower agrees,
subject to Lenders' prior approval, to execute and cause to be filed, at
Borrower's sole cost and expense, UCC-1 financing statement(s) with the
appropriate state and local governmental authorities as requested by Lenders and
Borrower, as agent and on behalf of Lenders, Textron and Sovereign, unless and
until an Event of Default shall occur, shall retain in its possession of and
collect all payments under or in respect of all Notes Receivable in the
Ineligible Note Portfolio. By executing this Second Amendment, Borrower




                                      -6-
<PAGE>

acknowledges and agrees that it is holding such Notes Receivables as bailee and
agent for the Lenders. Borrower shall hold and designate such Notes Receivable
and related Mortgages in a manner which clearly indicates that they are being
held by Borrower as bailee on behalf of Lenders. Upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Textron, as agent for Lenders,
Sovereign and Textron, all original Notes Receivable comprising the Ineligible
Note Portfolio, the related Mortgages and the documents listed on SCHEDULE G
attached hereto and with respect thereto and thereafter Textron, as agent for
Lenders, Sovereign and Textron, shall have the right to collect all proceeds
therefrom and apply the same to payment of the Indebtedness as set forth in the
Intercreditor Agreement.

         Borrower also shall execute and deliver in escrow to Textron as agent
and on behalf of Lenders, Textron and Sovereign all appropriate Assignments of
Mortgage as requested by Lenders, Textron and Sovereign, in the form attached
hereto as SCHEDULE G and as approved by Lenders, Textron and Sovereign at their
sole and absolute discretion, assigning equally to each of Lenders, Textron and
Sovereign all of Borrower's rights, title and interests in all of the mortgages
relating to the Notes Receivable in the Ineligible Note Portfolio. Borrower
further agrees to promptly execute and deliver modifications or additional
Assignments of Mortgage requested by Lenders, Textron and Sovereign in order to
continue the security interests of Lenders, Textron and Sovereign in the
Ineligible Note Portfolio. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that upon a Default
or an Event of Default under this Loan, the Inventory Loan, the Supplemental
Loan, the Textron Facility or Sovereign Facility, Textron, or a designee as
designated by Lenders, Textron and Sovereign pursuant to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, shall have the right to automatically record, at
Borrower's sole cost and expense, all such Assignments of Mortgage executed by
Borrower and delivered to Textron in accordance with the terms of this Section.
Upon a Default or Event of Default under the Loan, the Inventory Loan, the
Supplemental Loan, the Textron Facility or Sovereign Facility, Borrower shall
immediately deliver possession of the Ineligible Note Portfolio and all
documents relating thereto to Textron as agent on behalf of Lenders, Textron and
Sovereign, as more particularly described in the Intercreditor Agreement.

         Lenders' security interest and rights with respect to the Shared
Collateral other than the Collateral pledged to Lenders as Primary Secured
Lenders are subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of
any conflict between the terms hereof and the Intercreditor Agreement regarding
the Shared Collateral other than the Collateral pledged to Lenders as Primary
Secured Lenders, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.
Notwithstanding anything stated herein or stated in the Intercreditor Agreement,
no provision contained herein or in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be
construed to permit Sovereign, Textron or any lender other than Lenders to
interfere with Lenders' rights, security interests, and remedies with respect to
any Collateral pledged to Lenders as Primary Secured Lenders. So long that any
indebtedness or obligations from Borrower to Lenders remain outstanding under
the Loan Agreement remains outstanding, Lenders shall have the sole and absolute
discretion to perfect, maintain, protect and enforce their security interests,
and exercise their remedies, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral pledged
to Lenders as Primary Secured Lenders. Lenders may exercise their discretion
with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any of their rights and
remedies or taking any enforcement action with respect to the





                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Collateral where Lenders are Primary Secured Lenders, and Borrower shall not
permit Textron, Sovereign or any lender other than the Lenders to take an
enforcement action against the Collateral pledged to Lenders as Primary Secured
Lenders.

                  (e) MONTHLY REPORTS. So long as any indebtedness or obligation
remains outstanding under the Loan, the Inventory Loan or the Supplemental Loan,
Borrower shall provide to each Lender on a monthly basis a report which shall
indicate, among other things, the conformance of the Borrower's business in
respect to the Business Plan and any variance from the Business Plan. Such
monthly report for each month shall be delivered to each Lender no later than
the 15th day of the immediately following month.

                  9. ALLOCATION OF SHARED COLLATERAL. Notwithstanding anything
stated to the contrary, Borrower and Lenders agree that upon a sale or other
disposition of any Collateral cross-collateralized to secure the Loan, the
Inventory Loan, the Supplemental Loan, the Textron Facility, and the Sovereign
Facility (the "Shared Collateral") or the exercise of Textron's, Sovereign's
and/or Lenders' remedies following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
proceeds derived from such Shared Collateral (which Shared Collateral shall not
include the Existing Real Property Collateral described in the Intercreditor
Agreement) shall be allocated as follows:

                  (a) With respect to any Shared Collateral where Lenders are
Primary Secured Lenders, proceeds derived from such Shared Collateral shall be
applied (A) first toward repayment of any outstanding balance under the loan
facilities where Lenders, individually or collectively, are Primary Secured
Lenders, (B) next toward the Inventory Loan or the Supplemental Loan, and (C)
any remaining proceeds thereafter will be applied against any outstanding
balance under the Loan, and (D) then as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.

                  (b) With respect to any Shared Collateral where Lenders are
not Primary Secured Lenders, any remaining proceeds following application
against the indebtedness of Borrower to such Primary Secured Lender that are
allocated to Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall
be applied (A) first toward repayment of any outstanding balance under the
Inventory Loan or the Supplemental Loan, and (B) any remaining proceeds
thereafter will be applied against any outstanding balance under the Loan, and
(C) then as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.

                  (c) With respect to any Shared Collateral securing the
Inventory Loan and where Heller is the Primary Secured Lender, any remaining
proceeds following application against the indebtedness of Borrower to Heller
under the Inventory Loan shall be applied (A) first toward repayment of any
outstanding balance under the Supplemental Loan, and (B) any remaining proceeds
thereafter will be applied against any outstanding balance under the Loan, and
(C) then as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.

                  (d) With respect to any Shared Collateral securing the
Supplemental Loan, and where Heller is the Primary Secured Lender, Borrower
agrees that any remaining proceeds





                                      -8-
<PAGE>

following application against the indebtedness of Borrower to Heller under the
Supplemental Loan shall be applied (A) first toward repayment of any outstanding
balance under the Inventory Loan, and (B) any remaining proceeds thereafter will
be applied against any outstanding balance under the Loan, and (C) then as
provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.

all Notes Receivable pledged pursuant to the Textron Facility and the Sovereign

         11. SILVERLEAF FINANCE. Lenders and Agent acknowledge and agree that:

shall be without prejudice to Lenders' rights at any time in the future to
exercise any and all rights conferred upon them by any of the Loan Documents in
accordance with their original terms as previously and hereby amended. Neither
this Second Amendment nor any provision hereof or of any other documents given
in connection herewith shall constitute or shall be construed to constitute a

Note or the other Loan Documents subsequent to the date hereof. Any failure by
Lenders at any point in time during the term of the Note or the Loan Agreement,
as amended and restated, to insist upon strict and timely compliance with the

expressly or implied by Lenders of any of their rights under any such document
nor shall the same excuse Borrower's obligation to strictly and timely perform
its obligation hereunder and therein.

         15. RELEASE. The Borrower by execution of this Second Amendment hereby
declares that as of this date the Borrower has no claim, set-off, counterclaim,
defense, or other cause of action against Lenders including, but not limited to,
a defense of usury, any claim or cause of action at common law, in equity,
statutory or otherwise, in contract or in tort, for fraud malfeasance,
misrepresentation, financial loss, usury, deceptive trade practice, or any other
loss, damage or liability of any kind, including without limitation any claim
for exemplary or punitive damages arising out of any transaction between
Borrower and Lenders in connection with the Loan Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, any security therefore or this Second Amendment, or any document
mentioned herein. Further, to the extent that any such set-off, counterclaim,
defense, or other cause of action may exist or might hereafter arise based on
facts known or unknown which exist as of this date, such set-off, counterclaim,
defense and other cause of action is hereby expressly and knowingly waived and
released by Borrower.

         16. COMPLETE AGREEMENT. There are and were no oral or written
representations, warranties, understandings, stipulations, agreements, or
promises made by either party or by any agent, employee or other representative
of either party pertaining to the subject matter of this Second Amendment which
have not been incorporated into this Second Amendment. This Second Amendment
shall not be modified, changed, terminated, amended, superseded, waived or
extended except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto. If any
term, comment or condition of this Second Amendment is held to be invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable as to a particular person, entity, or situation and
this Second Amendment will also be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by
law as to any other person, entity, or situation. Except as specifically
modified by the terms of this Second Amendment, the Loan Agreement, the Note and
all the remaining Loan Documents shall not be affected by this Second Amendment
and each shall remain in full force and effect. Nothing herein contained shall
be construed to impair Lenders' security under the Loan Agreement or Loan
Documents nor to limit or impair any rights or powers that Lenders now enjoy or
may hereafter enjoy under the Loan Documents for recovery of the Indebtedness
secured hereby.

         17. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower agrees to execute such further
documents, instruments and agreements as Lenders through Agent may require from
time to time to effectuate the terms and conditions and understandings of this
Second Amendment.

         18. BORROWER REPRESENTATIONS. Borrower hereby represents and warrants
to Agent and Lenders that:

                  (a) The person executing this Second Amendment on behalf of
the Borrower has full authority to execute this Second Amendment on behalf of
Borrower and to bind Borrower thereby;

                  (b) The execution and delivery by Borrower of this Second
Amendment and the performance thereunder by Borrower has not and will not result
in a breach of or constitute a default under any mortgage, lease, bank loan,
credit arrangement or other instrument or agreement to which either Borrower or
the Collateral securing the Loan may be bound or affected;

                  (c) Borrower is a corporation duly formed, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the state of Texas; and

                  (d) The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of
this Second Amendment and other Loan Documents as amended as of the date hereof,
have been duly and validly authorized and all consents and approvals which are
necessary for authorization, binding effect, performance, and enforceability of
this Second Amendment and all other Loan Documents have been received.

         19. ADDITIONAL RESORT COLLATERAL. Lenders and Agent acknowledge that
Textron and Sovereign have been and are hereby granted a first priority security
interest and Lien in the Additional Resort Collateral, as set forth on the
attached SCHEDULE B and more particularly described in the Textron Documents and
the Sovereign Documents. As additional consideration for Lenders' and Agent's
agreements in this Second Amendment, Borrower agrees, and shall cause Textron
and Sovereign to agree (as set out in their respective Loan Agreements and in
the Intercreditor Agreement), that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Textron and Sovereign shall collectively, upon approval of the Majority of the
Lenders (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), take action to enforce
their rights against the Additional Resort Collateral, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement, provided, however, that the consent
of the non-consenting Lender (for purposes of this Section 19 only, the term
"Lender" shall mean either Textron, Sovereign or Heller (individually in respect
to the Inventory Loan and the Supplemental Loan, and as agent and on behalf of
itself and Union Bank under the Loan), which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, shall be required for any sale or other disposition of all
or any portion of the Additional Resort Collateral if such action would, in the
reasonable determination of the non-consenting Lender, have a material adverse
impact on the Collateral securing the non-consenting Lender's respective Loans
to Borrower. The non-consenting Lender shall be entitled upon its written
request to receive such information from the





                                      -12-
<PAGE>

other Lenders and Borrower as may be reasonably necessary for the non-consenting
Lender to make such determination. In the event a Lender determines that a
decision by the Majority of the Lenders hereunder to sell or otherwise dispose
of all or any portion of the Additional Resort Collateral would, in the
reasonable determination of such non-consenting Lender, have a material adverse
impact on the Collateral securing such non-consenting Lender's respective Loans
to Borrower, such non-consenting Lender shall immediately notify the other
Lenders in writing and shall specify therein the basis for its decision. In such
event, such non-consenting Lender shall cooperate in good faith with the other
Lenders to effectuate such sale or disposition in a manner such that there is no
material adverse impact on the Collateral securing the non-consenting Lender's
respective Loans to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such sale or
disposition shall be conditioned upon the execution and recording in the
appropriate public records of subordination agreements protecting all use rights
of the owners of the Intervals entitled to use of the Additional Resort
Collateral. If the non-consenting Lender does not give such notice within ten
(10) days of the date of the decision of the Majority of the Lenders, the
non-consenting Lender shall be deemed to have waived any right to object to such
decision.

         Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, in the event
that Textron or Sovereign takes possession or control of the Additional Resort
Collateral, Borrower agrees that the Standby Manager (as defined in the April
___, 2002 Amendment to Inventory Loan) shall be responsible for, among other
things, the marketing, sale, resale and financing of all Intervals at the
related Resort or Resorts on behalf of Lenders, Textron and Sovereign and that
Lenders and Agent shall not be denied access to the amenities, sales centers or
Resort related information reasonably necessary to sell, finance, dispose of or
manage Lenders' Collateral under this Loan, the Inventory Loan and the
Supplemental Loan.

         20. ADDITIONAL ELIGIBLE NOTES RECEIVABLE. Borrower agrees that no
additional Advances shall be made against any Additional Eligible Note
Receivable (as defined in the March 2, 2000 Amendment) and all Additional
Eligible Notes Receivable which become ineligible hereafter shall only be
replaced with Eligible Notes Receivable conforming with the Eligible Notes
Receivable criteria as defined in APPENDIX 1 attached hereto, and provided, that
at all times hereafter the aggregate amount of Advances then outstanding shall
be at all times equal to or less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the principal
balance of all Notes Receivable pledged to Lenders hereunder.

         21. NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

                  (a) LIMITATION ON OTHER DEBT, FURTHER ENCUMBRANCES AND/OR
SECURITIZATION. Borrower will not obtain financing and grant liens with respect
to the Collateral or any of its other assets or property, except as expressly
provided herein. Prior to March 31, 2003, Borrower will not obtain financing and
grant liens with respect to any of Borrower's unpledged Notes Receivable, except
as provided in this Loan Agreement, the Inventory Loan, as amended and restated,
the Textron Facility and the Sovereign Facility, without Agent's and Lenders'
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. At any
time after March 31, 2003, Borrower may obtain financing and grant liens with
respect to any of






                                      -13-
<PAGE>

Borrower's unpledged Notes Receivable in an amount not to exceed twenty million
dollars ($20,000,000.00), provided that: (i) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred; and (ii) any such financing does not result in Borrower's failure to
substantially adhere to the Business Plan, as determined by Agent and Lenders in
their sole and absolute discretion. At any time after March 31, 2003, if
Borrower wishes to obtain financing in excess of twenty million dollars
($20,000,000.00) which will be secured by any of Borrower's unpledged Notes
Receivable, Borrower shall obtain Agent's and Lenders' written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Borrower may obtain unsecured
financing provided: (i) Borrower provides prior written notice to Agent setting
forth the terms and conditions thereof; (ii) Lenders and Agent are provided with
a copy of the loan documents therefor; and (iii) such financing does not result
in Borrower's inability to substantially adhere to the Business Plan, as
determined by Agent and Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion.

              (b) MODIFICATIONS OF TEXTRON DOCUMENTS, DZ DOCUMENTS, BOND HOLDER
EXCHANGE DOCUMENTS, SOVEREIGN DOCUMENTS AND OTHER DEBT INSTRUMENTS. Borrower
shall not amend or modify the Textron Documents, the Sovereign Documents, DZ
Documents, Bond Holder Exchange Documents or the documents evidencing any other
indebtedness of Borrower, nor shall Borrower extend, modify, increase or
terminate the Textron Facility, DZ Facility, the Bond Holder Exchange
Transaction, the Sovereign Facility or any other credit facility or loan,
without the prior written consent of Lenders and Agent, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld.

              (c) BUSINESS OPERATIONS. Borrower shall not deviate from or fail
to operate its business in substantial compliance with the Business Plan.

         Failure to comply with the foregoing covenants under this Section shall
constitute an Event of Default.

         22. EFFECT. Except as modified by this Second Amendment, all other
terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement existing as of the date hereof shall
remain in full force and effect.

         23. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. The following conditions shall have occurred
prior to this Second Amendment becoming effective and binding on Lenders and

         (d) BOND HOLDER EXCHANGE TRANSACTION. The Bond Holder Exchange
Transaction shall have been approved by Lenders and Agent, which approval may be
withheld at their sole and absolute discretion, and have been consummated on or
before March 31, 2002.

         THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS SECOND AMENDMENT SHALL NOT BIND
LENDERS AND AGENT UNTIL AND UNLESS THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECOND
AMENDMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THIS SECTION 23 HEREOF, HAVE BEEN
SATISFIED, AS DETERMINED BY AGENT IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION. IN THE
EVENT THAT THE DZ FACILITY HAS NOT BEEN CONSUMMATED OR DZ FAILS TO MAKE ITS
FIRST FUNDING REQUIRED UNDER THE DZ FACILITY, OR AGENT DETERMINES, IN ITS SOLE
AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION, THAT ANY OF THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION
ARE NOT SATISFIED ON OR BEFORE MAY 31, 2002, THEN THIS SECOND AMENDMENT, AND THE
OBLIGATIONS OF LENDERS AND AGENT HEREUNDER, SHALL BE NULL AND VOID IN ALL
RESPECTS AB INITIO. IN SUCH EVENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT EXISTING PRIOR HERETO AND
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREIN SET FORTH, AS MODIFIED BY THE FORBEARANCE
AGREEMENT AND THE ORIGINAL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, SHALL CONTINUE TO GOVERN AND
CONTROL BORROWER'S OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO REPAYMENT IN FULL OF THE
INDEBTEDNESS, AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT.

         24. REPLACEMENT NOTES RECEIVABLE. Except as may be provided in the
Business Plan, ineligible Notes Receivable shall be replaced with Eligible Notes
Receivable, to the extent available, on a dollar for dollar basis. If Borrower
is unable to deliver Eligible Notes Receivable to replace any ineligible Notes
Receivable, Borrower shall, subject to Agent's prior written consent (which
consent may be withheld at Agent's sole and absolute discretion), deliver
additional Notes Receivable, if available, to Agent to replace the ineligible
Notes Receivable, including such additional Notes Receivable that do not satisfy
the criteria for Eligible Notes Receivable ("Non-Conforming Notes Receivable"),
provided, that no event of default has occurred and is continuing under such
additional Note Receivable. In the event that any Eligible Note Receivable
becomes available thereafter, Borrower shall promptly substitute such Eligible
Note Receivable for the Non-Conforming Note Receivable. Borrower acknowledges
and agrees that Borrower shall only deliver Non-Conforming Notes Receivable to
Agent (on behalf of Lenders), to the extent that Non-Conforming Notes Receivable
are also delivered to Textron and Sovereign pro rata based on the then
outstanding principal balance of their respective loans to Borrower.
Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, Borrower acknowledges,
confirms and agrees that the aggregate amount of Advances then outstanding under
the Loan Agreement shall be at all times equal to or less than eighty-five
percent (85%) of the principal balance of all Notes Receivable pledged to
Lenders hereunder.
