QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q: What is a resort hotel investment unit?
A: A resort hotel investment unit (a "Unit") is a condominium, together with
an undivided interest in the common areas of the hotel, which will be
operated with other condominiums as a hotel under a mandatory rental pool.
Each condominium is a hotel suite.
Q: What type of hotel is it?
A: The hotel is a first-class resort hotel. The hotel will consist of the
suites, the lobby, the conference rooms, the restaurant and all other hotel
facilities. Owners and guests will have access to golf and spa facilities
at discounted rates. The hotel should be open by January 1, 1999.
Q: Who is going to manage the hotel?
A: The hotel will be managed by Delta Hotels International, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Delta Hotels Limited, under the Hotel Operating and
Rental Pool Agreement. Delta Hotels Limited is Canada's largest privately
owned hotel company. Most of the rooms under Delta Hotel's management are
in hotels rated "four-star" by the Canadian/American Automobile
Association.
Q: What happens if Delta quits?
A: The Board of Directors of the Condominium Association will be responsible
for selecting another hotel operator. In the unlikely event that a
replacement operator cannot be found immediately, the Condominium
Association will be responsible for running the hotel.
Q: What is UP Sedona's involvement after the offering?
A: UP Sedona will not have a role in managing the hotel. If all the Units are
not sold, it will be an owner treated the same as every other owner.
Q: How often can I use my Unit?
A: If you give six months advance notice, you are guaranteed the use of your
Unit for a maximum of 14 days per year. If you give 15 days notice or less,
you may reserve your Unit for an additional 14 days per year but only if
your Unit has not been reserved and the hotel is less than 80% booked. You
should be aware that there may be adverse tax consequences if you exercise
this additional right.
Q: How does the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement work?
A: The hotel operator will rent the Units to hotel guests and pool the revenue
for the owners. After paying the expenses associated with running the
hotel, the hotel operator will distribute the balance, if any, to the
owners. You will not share in the revenue of the hotel for any day you use
your Unit, but will still be obligated for your share of the expenses.
Q: What happens if the hotel loses money?
A: If the hotel loses money, you and other Unit owners will be responsible for
making up any shortfalls. During the first year of operations, UP Sedona,
Inc. is obligated, no matter how well the hotel performs, to contribute to
each owner an amount necessary to ensure a break-even cash flow for owners,
assuming a certain amount of financing, whether taken out or not. (See
"Cash Flow Distributions" on page 4 for a more detailed explanation.)
Q: Will there be any debt on the hotel property?
A: The only debt will be that of individual owners. The construction of the
hotel will be financed by UP Sedona, Inc. This debt against each Unit will
be discharged on the closing of each sale.
1
<PAGE>
Q: What if UP Sedona Inc. gets into financial difficulty and cannot complete
construction of the hotel?
A: All funds from sales of Units are held in escrow during construction and
are not released to UP Sedona, Inc. until completion of the hotel. In the
event the hotel is not completed, the funds deposited by you will be
returned and you will have no obligation to complete the purchase of your
Unit. Your funds cannot be held for more than two years.
Q: How does the Condominium Association work?
A: All of the owners of Units are members of the Sedona Golf Resort and
Conference Center Condominium Association. The members elect a Board of
Directors whose duties will include approving the annual operating plan and
budget for the hotel and reviewing the performance of the hotel Operator.
Q: What payments will I make as an owner of a Unit?
A: You will have to make payments on any loan you obtained to buy your Unit,
pay the real property taxes on your Unit, your share of Condominium
Association expenses, and pay any income and/or capital gains taxes that
may result from the ownership of your Unit.
Q: Do I own the contents in my Unit?
A: Yes; however, you may not alter or remove any of the furnishings or
fixtures.
Q: May I sell my Unit?
A: You may sell your Unit at any time as long as the purchaser signs the Hotel
Operating and Rental Pool Agreement.
Q: How well is the U.S. hotel industry doing?
A: By three key measures of financial performance (occupancy, average daily
rate and revenue per available room), the U.S. hotel industry has been on
the rise over the past five years, according to Smith Travel Research.
While there are still many opportunities and challenges that face the
industry, the latter part of this decade still looks to be one of the most
attractive times to participate in this industry.
Q: What are the tax implications of owning a Unit?
A: You will be required to report on your federal income tax return your share
of income from the hotel. The rental pool will be taxed as a partnership
for federal income tax purposes.
You may be able to deduct property taxes, interest expense and depreciation
for your Unit. Your tax deductions may be limited by certain provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code, including provisions governing vacation home
rentals, passive activity losses, and interest expense.
Q: Are there risks involved in purchasing a Unit?
A: There are inherent risks in any investment. While we have tried to present
as realistic a picture as possible, the hotel may not perform as well as
anticipated. Conditions that today are favorable to the hotel industry may
change substantially before the hotel opens. Even though we believe our
analysis points to the hotel being successful, we cannot assure you that
this will be the case.

SUMMARY
This Summary highlights selected information from this Prospectus and
may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand
what ownership of a Unit means and for a more complete description of the legal
terms involved, you should read carefully this entire Prospectus including the
documents in the Annex.
Seller The seller of the Units is UP Sedona, Inc., an Arizona
corporation ("UP Sedona"), which is indirectly owned by
United Properties Ltd., a Canadian real estate development
company. United Properties Ltd. was incorporated in 1975 and
operates in British Columbia and the Northwest United
States. It has developed approximately 4,500 housing units
having an aggregate sales value of in excess of $650 million
(Canadian). You will not acquire any ownership interest in
either UP Sedona or United Properties Ltd.
UP Sedona will not have any management role in the hotel
after the offering. Once the last Unit is sold, UP Sedona's
involvement will be limited to honoring the break-even cash
flow contribution and construction guarantees. If all the
Units are not sold, the Units will remain in the rental pool
and UP Sedona will be an owner on the same basis as other
owners.
UP Sedona maintains its principal executive offices at 2601
East Thomas Road, Suite 225, Phoenix, Arizona 85016, and its
telephone number is (602) 955-9190.
The Units Each Unit is a fully-furnished hotel suite with kitchen
facilities and a living/sleeping area. Each Unit also
includes an undivided interest in the common areas of the
hotel and is subject to a mandatory rental pool agreement.
The Hotel The hotel is called Sedona Golf Resort and Conference
Center. It is located in the Village of Oak Creek, Arizona,
near the city of Sedona. Construction of the hotel is
anticipated to begin in April 1997 and to be completed by
December 31, 1998. The hotel will contain 225 suites (hotel
rooms), a conference center, lobby, ballroom, restaurant,
pool and parking facilities. Owners of Units and guests of
the hotel will also be able to use the golf course of Sedona
Golf Resort and the Ridge Spa and Racquet Club at discounted
rates.
The Hotel The Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement requires the
Operating and pooling of all revenue earned by all of the Units in the
Rental Pool rental pool and all expenses. A mandatory rental pool
Agreement provides the hotel operator with a sufficient number of the
hotel rooms to effectively operate the hotel. Your Unit will
be in the rental pool unless you reserve your Unit for your
own use. You will not share in the revenue for any day that
you use your Unit but you will be obligated to pay your full
share of expenses. Delta Hotels International, Inc.
("Delta") will be the hotel operator under the Hotel
Operating and Rental Pool Agreement.
3
<PAGE>
Personal Use You are guaranteed the use of your Unit for a maximum of 14
days per year with six months notice. An additional 14 days
use is permitted with no more than 15 days notice but only
if your room has not already been reserved and the hotel is
less than 80% booked. You will be responsible for monitoring
your usage and the hotel operator and UP Sedona will not
have any liability for any adverse tax consequences of your
personal usage. If you begin a stay on a Friday or a
Saturday, you must stay a minimum of two nights. You may not
use your Unit for two or three day stays beginning on a
Friday or a Saturday more than four times per year. Certain
Units called "executive Units" will not be available for
personal use.
The Hotel Delta Hotels International, Inc. is owned by Delta Hotels
Operator Limited, based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Delta Hotels
Limited is Canada's largest privately owned hotel company,
with over 6,500 guest rooms under management in Canada.
Delta Hotels Limited through its affiliates also manages
hotels in Florida, the Caribbean and in Asia. Delta is not
affiliated with either UP Sedona or United Properties Ltd.
Reserves At the closing of the purchase of your Unit, you will be
required to contribute your share, as outlined in Annex A,
of an operating cash reserve of $250,000. This reserve will
be available to the hotel operator for working capital
purposes commencing in the second year of hotel operations.
The hotel operator will also establish reserves for capital
expenditures for the repair and replacement of the hotel
property and for the repair and replacement of furniture,
fixtures and equipment ranging from 2% of gross revenue
beginning in year two of operations to a maximum of 5% of
gross revenue for year five and after. These reserves are in
addition to the retention of a portion of distributable cash
flow, which is described below.
Shortfalls If at any time the funds from hotel operations are not
sufficient to pay the expenses of operating the hotel, to
maintain reserves, or to make capital expenditures in excess
of the established reserves, all owners of Units will be
obligated to pay their share of the shortfall. The hotel
operator may elect, but is not obligated, to advance such
amount and be repaid, plus interest, out of future cash flow
from hotel operations. Interest on advances by the hotel
operator will be computed at the prime rate (as outlined in
the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement) plus 2% per
annum.
Cash Flow UP Sedona will contribute to each owner an amount necessary
Distributions to ensure a break-even cash flow after debt service for the
first year of operations. The amount contributed assumes an
amount of debt service as if a purchaser obtained an
adjustable rate mortgage for 75% of the purchase price at an
interest rate of 8% with a five-year term and 30 year
amortization. An amount not less than $1.1 million from the
sale proceeds of the Units will be held in escrow for the
benefit of owners to meet this obligation. UP Sedona
forecasts, though cannot assure, that the hotel will begin
to provide annual cash flow distributions in year two in an
amount that exceeds the implied debt service.
4
<PAGE>
Risks of The hotel has no operating history on which to rely;
Forecasts therefore, the anticipated performance is based on forecasts.
While UP Sedona believes that it has considered all factors
that might affect the overall economic performance, there
are inherent risks in relying on forecasts. Actual results
can differ materially from results forecasted if the
assumptions underlying the forecasts prove to be incorrect.
Adverse consequences can occur if forecasted results are not
achieved.
Timing of The hotel operator will prepare monthly reports on the
Distributions operation of the hotel and distribute any rental pool income
to owners by the 20th day following the end of each month.
The hotel operator may choose to make distributions of
income based on an estimate of the annual amount
distributable to owners, less an amount not to exceed 20%,
and make distributions in 12 equal monthly installments with
the balance, if any, paid at the end of the year. Prior to
making distributions of rental pool income, the hotel
operator will adjust your share of such income to take into
account your use of your Unit.
Prices of The initial purchase prices of Units have been established
Units by UP Sedona. UP Sedona is not required to maintain the
initial purchase price schedule, and may increase or lower
the purchase price of any Unit. The price of a Unit cannot
be changed once a purchase contract has been executed for
such Unit. The schedule of purchase prices for each Unit
designated by type and location together with the amount to
be contributed to the operating cash reserve by the
purchaser of such Unit are set forth in Annex A. The
percentage interest for a Unit determines the share of
revenue and expenses for that Unit and is set forth in Annex
C. The percentage interest will not change even if prices of
Units change in the future.
Purchase To purchase a Unit you must execute an irrevocable purchase
Procedure contract. Upon execution of a purchase contract, you are
required to make a down payment in the amount of 10% of the
purchase price of your Unit with an additional 10% due as
construction progresses. The down payment will be held in
escrow for your benefit and will not be available for
distribution to UP Sedona until the completion of
construction (estimated to be no later than December 31,
1998) and the hotel is ready to commence operations. At that
time, the purchase of all Units under contract will be
completed and the balance of the purchase price together
with any closing costs and the operating cash reserves
contribution will be due. Additional closings will occur as
Units are sold. No minimum number of Units must be sold
before UP Sedona can complete the sale of Units.
Financing Prospective owners may obtain financing from any available
source. UP Sedona may make referrals for financing for
owners on terms that will vary based on market conditions.
Each prospective owner will be required to qualify for
financing based on the requirements of the particular
lender. If a prospective owner is rejected for a loan,
either the prospective owner or UP Sedona may cancel the
purchase contract.
5
<PAGE>
Tax The rental pool will be treated as a partnership for federal
Considerations income tax purposes. You must therefore report your share of
the rental pool's taxable income and loss on your own
federal income tax return. You will be entitled to any
available deductions associated with ownership of the Unit
for federal income tax purposes, including deductions for
property taxes, investment interest expense and
depreciation. For a more complete discussion of the tax
consequences of Unit ownership, see "Certain Federal and
State Income Tax Aspects" on page 51
If you use your Unit for more than the greater of (i) 14
days, or (ii) 10% of the total number of days during the
year that your Unit is rented for fair value, you may deduct
your share of expenses from the rental pool only up to the
amount of your share of gross income from the rental pool.
In addition, your personal use increases the portion of any
expenses that will be non-deductible as personal expenses.
However, personal use in excess of 14 days may permit you to
deduct interest on any financing used to acquire a Unit as
qualified residence (or home mortgage) interest if the Unit
is treated as a second residence.
You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisors
concerning your particular situation and the impact that
your participation in the hotel may have on your federal
income tax liability and any state and local income and
other tax laws liability.
The When you purchase your Unit, you will automatically become a
Condominium member of the Sedona Golf Resort and Conference Center
Association Condominium Association. The Association will supervise the
maintenance and management of the Units, will enter into and
monitor the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement, and
will levy, collect and enforce the assessments of the
Association. The Association assessments (after taking into
account hotel revenue and expenses) are currently budgeted
at a total of $50,000 for the first year and are intended to
cover fees for professional services and administrative
expenses incurred by the Association. The owners will elect
a Board of Directors who will be responsible for managing
the Association and acting on behalf of the owners.

<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should carefully consider the following together
with the other information contained in this Prospectus before purchasing Units.
REVENUE MAY NOT COVER EXPENSES. If the hotel fails to reach the level
of occupancy anticipated and room rates are not as high as expected, the hotel
may not generate enough income to cover its operating expenses. In addition, if
operating costs exceed those forecasted, there can be no assurance that revenue
will increase sufficiently to cover such increases. There can be no assurances
that the rental pool income payable to an owner in any year will exceed the
owner's share of hotel operating costs, reserves and potential capital
expenditures in excess of such reserves for that year and the payments on any
loan obtained by an owner to purchase a Unit. Occupancy required to break-even
before any debt service, assuming the forecasted average daily rate, is 38.08%
in year five, the anticipated first year of stabilized operations. The level of
occupancy required to cover debt service on an owner's loan will depend on the
terms of the specific financing obtained by him.
If a significant number of owners default on assessments made to cover
hotel operating costs, the Association may have insufficient funds to pay
maintenance and operating costs, which could result in the loss of the ability
to operate the property as a hotel. In such event, while the defaulting owners
will not be relieved from their obligation to pay delinquent assessments, an
increased regular assessment or a special assessment (which requires a
two-thirds vote of all Unit owners, except delinquent owners whose voting rights
have been suspended) may be levied against all Units in order to defray the
operating shortfall.
RISKS IN RELYING ON FORECASTS. The hotel has no operating history;
therefore, the anticipated performance is based on forecasts. While UP Sedona
believes it has considered all factors that might affect the overall economic
performance, there are inherent risks in relying on forecasts. Actual results
can differ materially from results forecasted if the assumptions underlying the
forecasts prove to be incorrect. Factors that can cause actual performance to
vary with that of a forecast include, among others, occupancy rate achieved,
actual average daily rate, restaurant performance, the effects of competition,
strength of the tourist sector of the economy and assumptions regarding the
effects of inflation. No assurance can be given that the assumptions will prove
correct or that actual results will not differ from the results forecasted.
Adverse consequences can occur if forecasted results are not achieved.
DEPENDENCE ON THE HOTEL OPERATOR. The Hotel Operating and Rental Pool
Agreement appoints the hotel operator as the manager of the rental pool and the
bookings of the Units for a term of 10 years, unless earlier terminated. Success
of the hotel will depend to a great extent on the efforts and abilities of the
hotel operator. The loss of its services could have a material adverse effect on
the hotel's business and results of operation. The hotel operator may terminate
its appointment upon 60 days' prior notice if the owners fail to make or
authorize it to make capital expenditures without which the hotel cannot be
operated as a first class hotel (in the opinion of the hotel operator).
If the hotel operator is terminated or resigns, it may be difficult to
contract with another party to immediately provide replacement services at
comparable costs. Termination could result in cancellations of reservations,
reduced maintenance, loss of operating licenses such as liquor
7
<PAGE>
licenses, loss of staff and delays in transferring operations to a new hotel
operator. The hotel could experience lower occupancy and thus reduced revenue
during a transition. If the Condominium Association is required to operate the
hotel for an interim period, the Association may be at a disadvantage without
the benefits of an advanced reservation booking system and national advertising
provided by a hotel operator.
INEXPERIENCE OF ASSOCIATION DIRECTORS. Following relinquishment of
control of the Association by UP Sedona, the Association will be governed by a
Board of Directors, all of whom will be Unit owners. These directors may have
little or no experience in operating a hotel or a rental pool. While the
directors may hire an independent management company, management agent or
executive director to assist the directors in performing their duties to oversee
and review the services and operational results of the hotel operator, the hotel
operating inexperience of the directors may result in the directors not being
able to recognize or take corrective action to remedy operating deficiencies by
the hotel operator.
DEPENDENCE ON GOLF OPERATOR. Satisfactory occupancy and room rates is
dependent on access to golf facilities, which has been arranged with the Sedona
Golf Resort. Neither the hotel operator nor the owners will have any ability to
control or direct the operations of the golf course. If the owner of the golf
course fails to properly maintain the golf course, occupancy and room rates may
decline.
COMPETITION. The success of the hotel will be determined by its
location, quality of accommodations, roomrate structure and the quality of its
food and beverage menus and meeting facilities. The hotel will compete with
existing hotels and resorts, as well as with future hotels and resorts that may
be developed in proximity to the hotel. Although 846 rooms (excluding the hotel)
have recently been added to the hotel supply or are under development or in the
planning process, only 150 are full service and are directly competitive with
the hotel. Because of the capacity constraints, UP Sedona believes that it is
unlikely that additional hotel development will result in an over supply of
hotel rooms. Competition in the future may be affected by changes in the hotel
market in Sedona, changes in local or regional population patterns, changes in
disposable income characteristics, changes in travel patterns and preferences,
and periodic over-building that can adversely affect patronage levels.
HOTEL OPERATING UNCERTAINTIES. The value of the hotel will depend on
the ability of the hotel operator to maintain or increase gross revenue
sufficient to cover operating expenses and generate a reasonable return for its
owners. Income from the hotel may be adversely affected by a range of factors in
addition to increased competition as discussed above, including increases in
operating costs as a result of inflation and other factors, which the hotel
operator may determine cannot be offset by increased revenue; strikes and other
labor disturbances of hotel employees; increases in energy costs and other
expenses of travel; change in demand from tour operators due to fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates; weather conditions; and adverse effects on
general and local economic conditions. Due to minimal commercial activity in
Sedona and limited access to the Sedona area, the hotel is particularly
dependent upon individual leisure travelers, group bookings and tourism;
occupancy by commercial travelers is expected to be minimal. All of these
factors could reduce the hotel's ability to generate revenue.
8
<PAGE>
SEASONAL FLUCTUATIONS. The Sedona resort market is seasonal, with
demand fluctuating at different levels throughout the year. This seasonality may
cause fluctuations in the gross revenue generated from the operation of the
hotel. The peak season extends from April through August plus the month of
October. The low season includes the latter part of November, December and
January.
REMOTENESS OF LOCATION. Sedona is located 119 miles north of Phoenix.
The primary mode of transportation to the Sedona area is automobile or bus, via
two highways. Because Sedona is not located along an interstate freeway, its
ability to draw casual overnight guests is limited. Significant improvements
have been proposed for the highway to the City of Sedona; construction is
scheduled to begin by 1998. The Sedona Airport has no control tower and is
mainly used by small single-engine and multi-engine propeller aircraft and
helicopters. The lack of scheduled airline service from Phoenix and other large
cities to Sedona, combined with the lack of airport infrastructure, will
continue to limit Sedona's ability to become a national group destination. No
near-term plans have been proposed to increase airline traffic to Sedona.
POTENTIAL LIABILITY OF OWNERSHIP. Included in your share of hotel
operating costs will be a share of insurance premiums for property damage,
public liability and fire and other hazard insurance carried by the Association
against certain risks of operating the hotel. There can be no assurance that the
amount of insurance carried by the Association will be adequate. There are
certain risks which may be uninsurable or not insurable at reasonable terms. In
the event insurance is unavailable for any reason, the Association will have to
self-insure for all or part of any potential loss or to seek coverage at higher
rates from alternative carriers.
You may personally have joint and several liability for tort and
contract claims as a result of ownership of your Unit or participation in the
rental pool. Although UP Sedona believes that the insurance coverage maintained
by the Association will be adequate to protect the interests of owners, you are
urged to consult an insurance advisor or attorney with respect to the nature and
extent of such personal liability and to determine what additional liability
insurance coverage, if any, may be necessary or appropriate for your particular
circumstances.
LIMITED RESALE MARKET. There can be no assurance that there will be a
resale market for the sale of your Unit as the Units will not be listed on a
publicly traded exchange. Your resale ability could be further diminished if the
hotel's performance does not reach expectations. You, therefore, may not be able
to sell your Unit quickly in an emergency. Consequently, the purchase of a Unit
should be considered only as a long-term investment.
POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR VIOLATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. Under various
federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances, regulations, and
common law, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be
liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances
on, under, or in such property. Such laws, ordinances and regulations often
impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. UP Sedona
is not aware of any material violations of currently applicable environmental
laws or regulations. However, there can be no assurance that violations will not
occur in the future or that more stringent laws will not be enacted in the
future, and that UP Sedona, the hotel operator or the owners will not suffer
material adverse consequences as a result.
SIGNIFICANT INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS TO OWNERS. The following is a
brief summary of the most significant tax considerations involved in an
9
<PAGE>
investment in a Unit and participation in the rental pool. Unless otherwise
noted, this summary is based upon the opinion of O'Connor, Cavanagh, Anderson,
Killingsworth & Beshears, P.A., Phoenix, Arizona, which is counsel to UP Sedona
("Counsel"). See Exhibit 8.1 - Opinion of O'Connor, Cavanagh, Anderson,
Killingsworth & Beshears, P.A. as to the Tax Matters. If the IRS disagrees with
any of the positions described below, you may be subject to additional taxes.
Certain additional tax considerations are discussed under "Certain
Federal and State Income Tax Aspects." You are strongly urged to review the
material and to discuss with your tax advisors the tax consequences of an
investment in a Unit and participation in the rental pool.
(a) Classification of the Rental Pool as a Partnership
Counsel has opined that, under current law and regulations and
interpretations thereof, the rental pool should more likely than not be
classified as a "partnership" for federal income tax purposes. Counsel's opinion
is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") or the courts. If
it were determined that the partnership is taxable as a corporation rather than
as a partnership, the tax consequences to you and the rental pool would be
significant and adverse. See "Certain Federal and State Income Tax Aspects -
Classification as a Partnership." The remainder of this discussion of tax
considerations assumes that the rental pool will be taxed as a partnership.
(b) Section 183 Hobby Loss Rules
The tax code distinguishes between activities engaged in for profit
and activities not engaged in for profit. Your ability to deduct your share of
any losses from the rental pool may be limited by Section 183 of the Code, which
is commonly called the "hobby loss rule". If the rental pool is subject to the
hobby loss rules, the amount you will able to deduct for your share of expenses
and losses from the rental pool will be limited to the income you receive from
the rental pool. See "Certain Federal and State Income Tax Aspects - Tax
Consequences of Rental Pool to Owners - Section 183."
(c) Vacation Home Rental Rules
Your share of any rental pool losses will be limited by the vacation
home rental rules in the tax code. Section 280A of the tax code establishes a
gross income limitation and an expense allocation formula for apportioning
deductions between personal (that is, your use of your own Unit) and business
use of a dwelling unit. Your Unit is considered a dwelling unit for federal
income tax purposes. You will be permitted to deduct your share of the rental
pool operating expenses only to the extent such expenses are allocable to
business use of your Unit. In addition, if your personal use of your Unit
exceeds the greater of 14 days or 10% of the number of days during the year that
your Unit is rented for fair value, your deductible expenses from the rental
pool will be limited to your share of the rental pool income. See "Certain
Federal and State Income Tax Aspects - Tax Consequences of Rental Pool to Owners
- - Section 280A."
(d) Passive Activity Rules
Your participation in the rental pool is considered a passive activity
under the tax code. Losses from passive activities generally may only be
deducted against income from the same or
10
<PAGE>
other passive activities. See "Certain Federal and State Income Tax Aspects -
Tax Consequences of Rental Pool to owners - Income and Losses From Passive
Activities."
(e) Partnership Audit Risk
If the rental pool's information return is audited and adjusted, such
audit may cause corresponding adjustments to, and may increase the probability
of an audit of, your federal income tax return. See "Certain Federal and State
Income Tax Aspects - Administrative and Compliance Matters."

THE HOTEL
GENERAL.
The hotel will consist of 225 suites and will be located on a 7.43
acre site within the Sedona Golf Resort commercial/residential master planned
community. The Sedona Golf Resort is situated in the Village of Oak Creek, a
residential area located approximately five miles south of Sedona, Arizona. (See
"The Sedona Golf Resort" below.) The hotel will be three stories and have a
grand lobby, conference center, ballroom, and recreational amenities, including
a swimming pool and jacuzzi. The hotel will offer food and beverage service from
a lounge and a restaurant . The restaurant will offer all day full service and
room service targeted to the mid-price range.
The hotel will be located within the Sedona Golf Resort master planned
community, which includes a retail/commercial center, multi- and single-family
residential development, timeshare properties, the golf course, the Ridge Spa
and Racquet Club (see "Recreational Amenities" below"), and the proposed hotel.
UP Sedona believes that the hotel will fill a void in the Sedona market for
first-class full-service hotel facilities and that the mix of residential,
recreational and commercial uses within the Sedona Golf Resort is an ideal
setting for the proposed development.
THE UNITS.
The hotel will comprise a mix of one-bedroom, executive and studio
Units. All Units include a patio or balcony and offer scenic views of the
adjacent golf course and/or the red rocks of Sedona. Six one-bedroom plans, two
studio plans and one executive plan have been designed; the plan of a Unit will
depend upon its location within the hotel. All of the Units will have similar
furnishings depending on size, except for the executive Units. One-bedroom Units
will include a separate living/sleeping area, full kitchen and fireplace and the
studio Units will have a living/sleeping area and a kitchenette. Each of the
studio Units will be adjacent to a one-bedroom Unit, allowing a one-bedroom Unit
and a studio Unit to be rented as a two-bedroom suite. Each executive Unit will
be equipped for small meetings with a conference table and will have a murphy
bed.
Currently only one of the hotel properties in the Sedona market offers
comparable suites in both size and amenity package. In response to UP Sedona's
market studies, UP Sedona has determined that a mix of 171 one-bedroom Units,
six executive Units and 48 studio Units will best serve the combination of
individual and group travel.
The floor plans for the majority of the Units and the building layouts
indicating the location of the Units and other hotel facilities are set forth at
the beginning and end of this Prospectus.
12
<PAGE>
CONFERENCE FACILITIES.
UP Sedona believes that there is a significant need for additional
quality conference facilities in the Sedona market. See "The Hotel Industry -
The Sedona Market" below. Conference facilities planned for the hotel will
comprise 10,000 square feet of meeting space, including a 5,000 square foot
ballroom, several "breakout" conference rooms and hospitality suites and
pre-function, storage and kitchen spaces. UP Sedona believes that the hotel's
planned meeting space will be the largest, most flexible facility available in
northern Arizona.
OTHER FACILITIES.
The hotel will include a 125 seat full-service restaurant, a lobby
lounge, and an outdoor swimming pool and jacuzzi. The hotel will offer pool side
food and beverages in the area surrounding the swimming pool.
RECREATIONAL AMENITIES.
UP Sedona believes that access to golf activities is an important
factor for a successful resort hotel. It has therefore entered into an agreement
with the Sedona Golf Resort (see below) pursuant to which guests of the hotel
will receive preferential tee times and a ten percent discount on greens fees.
Owners will not participate in any revenue from the golf course operations. The
agreement permits the hotel to reserve rounds for its guests up to 40% of the
total rounds played in the previous year. In 1996, approximately 43,000 rounds
were played, which would have entitled the hotel to reserve approximately 17,200
rounds in 1997 if it were to have been operational. The golf course can
accommodate approximately 45,000 rounds of golf per year. In addition, the Ridge
Spa and Racquet Club, a full-service private health/fitness facility located
within a short walk from the hotel, has agreed to allow guests of the hotel to
use its facilities at a one-third discount off the current daily guest fee of
$20. The services offered by the spa include a fitness center, aerobic room,
heated lap pool and outdoor jacuzzi, three racquetball courts, three lighted
tennis courts, social lounge with courtyard seating, full service pro shop,
juice and snack bar, and sauna and steam room facilities.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS TO OWNERS
Each owner and up to three of the owner's guests will receive a 25%
discount off their food tab (excluding beverages) when they dine in the
restaurant after 5:00 p.m. This discount will apply regardless of whether the
owner has reserved his Unit for use at the time. Each owner will also have
privileges with other Delta hotels in North America managed or operated by Delta
or its parent company at a 25% discount off the rack rate, subject to
availability. In addition, each owner will be entitled to participate in the
Delta Privilege program, which is a guest recognition program offering
complimentary additional services and conveniences for the frequent traveler,
such privileges to be available at any Delta hotel, including the subject hotel.

THE SEDONA GOLF RESORT
The Golf Course.
The golf course at Sedona Golf Resort, the only 18-hole public golf
course in the Sedona area, is recognized as one of the premiere golf courses in
the United States and was recently rated as the second best course in Arizona by
The Arizona Republic. The course provides scenic views of Sedona's red rocks and
can be played year-round. In November 1996, the owner and developer of the golf
course opened a new 18,000 square foot clubhouse facility adjacent to the hotel
site that offers a full-service restaurant and lounge, a retail facility, men's
and women's locker facilities and a small meeting room. The golf course also
includes a driving range and professional instruction.
Multi/Single Family Residential Development.
Residential development is a significant component of the Sedona Golf
Resort master plan. Currently there are approximately 50 multi-family
condominium units located west of the hotel site, adjacent to the Ridge Spa and
Racquet Club. The current master plan provides for the development of 300 single
family homes throughout the resort. Golden Heritage Homes, the exclusive home
builder in the development, intends to sell lots ranging from 6,600 square feet
to 10,000 square feet, with finished home prices ranging from $250,000 to
$310,000. Custom homes will be available on some of the larger lots. Home
construction began in November 1996.
Commercial/Retail Development.
The master plan also includes neighborhood/tourist retail and food and
beverage development, to be located between the hotel site and State Route 179
in the northeastern portion of the master plan.
The Ridge Timeshare Resort.
An unaffiliated developer has begun construction of a 120-unit
timeshare resort, to be situated on a 11.5 acre parcel located southwest of the
hotel. The first phase of construction began in October of 1996 and is expected
to include 12 Units and an 11,000 square foot clubhouse and sales center. The
developer of this timeshare resort also owns and operates the Ridge Spa and
Racquet Club. All timeshare owners will have membership access to the spa
facilities and have the right to reserve up to 10% of the total rounds played in
the previous year on the golf course at Sedona Golf Resort.

THE HOTEL INDUSTRY
GENERAL.
The lodging industry is very cyclical and profitability is determined
by the relative availability of hotel room supply to actual lodging demand.
Demand is closely linked to the strength of the economy. The growth of hotel
supply, however, is closely linked to the availability of capital, which may lag
behind an increase in demand for hotel room supply. Accordingly, historically,
supply growth has not matched demand successfully.
Demand for lodging accommodations rose significantly from 1991 to
1995, while only a limited amount of new hotels were constructed resulting in
improved operating performance. In 1995, annual average occupancy levels reached
66.3%, the highest level in more than 12 years. As occupancy levels increased,
hotel operators were able to raise rooms rates. In addition to increased
occupancy and room rates, the hotel industry has benefitted from technological
advances. Hotels operating in today's environment are more labor efficient,
energy efficient, and generally more cost effective in virtually every
department when compared to those operating as recently as 10 years ago.
Improvements in hotel management and lower interest rates have also contributed
to the lodging industry's overall performance. The U.S. lodging industry
generated $7.6 billion in pretax hotel profits in 1995. All of the above factors
have contributed to increased profitability, which in turn has increased the
attractiveness of hotel investment for both current and potential owners.
The performance of the U.S. industry as a whole may not be indicative
of results that can be achieved in a specific geographic area. Factors that
would not necessarily have a material effect on the national industry because it
is geographically diverse may have a significant impact on a smaller market.
Individual hotel markets may underperform or outperform the industry as a whole.
HOTEL TERMINOLOGY.
The hotel industry uses common terms to describe hotels and their
performance. The following are a few of such terms used throughout this
Prospectus:
+ "First class" hotels are full service hotels, offering all day
dining and room service, lounge and meeting facilities, rated
three to four stars by the American Automobile Association
("AAA"), and typically offering bellman and concierge services.
+ "Full service" hotels are described as generally mid-price,
upscale or luxury hotels with a restaurant, lounge facilities and
meeting space as well as minimum service levels often including
bell service and room service.
+ "Limited service" hotels include hotels with rooms-only
operations (i.e., without food and beverage service) or hotels
that offer a bedroom and bathroom for the night, but very few
other services and amenities. These hotels are often in the
budget or economy group.
+ "Average daily rate" or "ADR" is determined by dividing the
actual annual room revenue by the annual occupied room nights.
+ "Revenue per available room" or "REVPAR" is determined by
dividing total actual annual room revenue by the total number of
rooms.
15
<PAGE>
RECENT PERFORMANCE.
Two key measures of performance in the U.S. lodging industry are
occupancy and ADR. As of the end of 1995, the U.S. lodging industry experienced
50 consecutive months of increases in occupancy and ADR. While the improved
performance, commencing in 1992, was driven primarily by increased occupancy,
the past two years have witnessed steady increases in ADR with no negative
impact on occupancy levels. The following table from Smith Travel Research's
1996 Host Study outlines the growth in occupancy and average daily rate for the
total U.S. lodging industry from 1991 through 1995:
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
RESORT MARKET.
Resort hotels showed significant improvement in both their market and
financial performance in 1995. As the economy continues its steady pace of
growth and consumer confidence slowly improves, it appears that business and
leisure travelers alike are seeking the luxurious facilities and services
offered at the nation's resorts. In 1995, resort hotels achieved the highest
average room rate of all property types according to PKF Consulting - Trends
1996. The following tables, which supports the PKF findings, sets forth
occupancy, ADR and REVPAR as reported by Smith Travel Research's Annual Host
Studies for the total U.S. full service market and the total U.S. resort market
from 1991 through 1995:

<PAGE>
Seasonality is a major factor affecting the performance of hotels in
the resort segment of the lodging industry. In their Trends 1996 report, PKF
Consulting indicates that resorts have softened the depressing effects of
off-season demand by attracting demand from the corporate and meetings business.
Leisure travel occupancy in resorts has declined from 62% in 1990 to 54% in 1995
while corporate and meetings business has risen from 33% in 1990 to 44% in 1995.
ARIZONA.
Tourism is Arizona's second largest industry and plays a significant
economic role throughout the state. The growth of the tourism industry in
Arizona is based on the following:
+ Favorable climate
+ Natural beauty
+ More leisure time
+ Number and quality of resort hotels and
championship golf courses
+ Development of new tourist attractions
+ Low airfare structure
+ Expansion of sporting events
+ Shopping
+ Healthy economy
+ Aggressive tourism development
UP Sedona has obtained a report from Smith Travel Research on the
performance of a representative set of resort properties for 1995 for the State
of Arizona as set forth in the following table:
------------------------------------------------------------
OCCUPANCY ADR REVPAR
============================================================
76.2% $121.72 $34,977
------------------------------------------------------------
Note: The resort properties represented include Radisson Resort,
Scottsdale; Hilton Inn, Scottsdale; Sheraton Hotel El
Conquistador, Tucson; Doubletree Resort, Scottsdale; Red Lion La
Posada, Scottsdale; Marriott Camelback Inn, Scottsdale; Marriott
Mountain Shadows, Scottsdale; Regal McCormick Ranch, Scottsdale;
Pointe Hilton at Squaw Peak, Phoenix; Pointe Hilton Tapatio,
Phoenix; and Loews Ventana Canyon, Tucson.
Because the representative hotels did not all report for prior years,
Smith Travel Research's Host database was not able to provide data for the same
sample for prior years comparable to the information available for U.S. full
service and U.S. resort hotels.
UP Sedona believes that the above factors all contribute to the strong
growth the tourism industry has experienced throughout the state of Arizona. As
a result of significant tourist activity, several markets throughout the state,
including Sedona, experience high levels of unsatisfied demand primarily during
the peak and shoulder season periods. Unsatisfied demand is that demand which is
forced to move out of the direct market area due to capacity constraints.
Factors such as the level of unsatisfied demand are extremely important when
considering the potential support for new hotel development in a particular
area. UP Sedona has selected the Sedona market as a particularly attractive
location for such development.

THE SEDONA MARKET.
Sedona.
Sedona is located in the central portion of the State of Arizona in a
mountainous area known for its majestic red rocks, some of the most spectacular
geological formations in the United States, and recreational and cultural
activities. Sedona is approximately 120 miles north of Phoenix and 30 miles
south of Flagstaff, Arizona. While Sedona has four distinct seasons, it is known
for its mild climate, with an average daily maximum temperature of 74.7 degrees.
Approximately 3.5 million visitors travel through Sedona annually to view the
rock formations and to take advantage of the recreational opportunities. Sedona
is well located as a base for day trip activities and as a hub for visitors to
northern Arizona. Sedona is convenient to many of northern Arizona's numerous
scenic attractions including Oak Creek Canyon, Slide Rock State Park, Grand
Canyon National Park, Sunset Crater, Walnut Canyon and Montezuma's Castle. The
Sedona market includes the Village of Oak Creek.
Market Overview.
According to the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, there are approximately
1,800 hotel/motel rooms and 100 bed and breakfast rooms in the greater Sedona
market and an estimated 3.5 million visitors annually. Currently, only five
properties in the lodging supply offer over 80 rooms. There was no significant
new hotel development in the Sedona market from 1988 through 1994. In response
to this pent-up demand, certain existing hotels have begun expansion projects
and a number of new properties have recently opened or are currently under
construction. According to Warnick & Company, a hotel consulting firm, a total
of 491 rooms have been added to the Sedona lodging market since 1995. An
additional 355 rooms (excluding the subject property) are expected to be
available within the next two to three years. The new hotel construction is
primarily of the "limited-service" variety except for the proposed The Cliffs at
Oak Creek, the expansion at Bell Rock Inn and the expansion at Poco Diablo
Resort, which are all "full-service" hotels. The Holiday Inn Express, the Desert
Quail Inn and the expansion at Bell Rock Inn represent recent development in the
Village of Oak Creek.

Competition.
UP Sedona believes that six properties in the Sedona market are directly
competitive with the Hotel. These are the Enchantment Resort, L'Auberge de
Sedona, Los Abrigados Resort, Poco Diablo Resort, Junipine Resort and Best
Western Arroyo Roble. The following chart sets forth the characteristics of
these properties and those of the subject hotel:

(1) At year-end 1995, Los Abrigados had approximately 50 of its total 172
suites available for use by the resort as hotel rooms. The property has
been involved with a timeshare conversion for the past several years. It
is estimated that the remaining inventory will be reduced by approximately
25 units per year during the sell-out of timeshare units.

The factors considered in determining this competitive supply
included: (i) the number of rooms and amount and quality of meeting space, (ii)
quality and value of overall facilities and amenities, (iii) character and style
of the hotel, (iv) rate structure and market position, and (v) location factors
such as surrounding land uses.
With the exception of Poco Diablo Resort, all of the properties in the
competitive resort supply were developed in the early to mid-1980's. According
to Warnick & Company, the upper end of these hotels is represented by
Enchantment Resort and L'Auberge de Sedona and to a lesser degree, by Los
Abrigados and the Junipine Resort. These properties generally offer higher
quality facilities and amenities and capture the highest average rates in the
Sedona marketplace. Poco Diablo and Arroyo Roble represent the lower end of the
competitive continuum, primarily due to rate structure and, in the case of
Arroyo Roble, inferior facilities and amenities.
Of the competitive supply, Los Abrigados and Enchantment offer suite
amenities. A portion of the units at Enchantment have full kitchens. As noted
above, Los Abrigados is being converted to timeshare and the rooms will no
longer be available for use as hotel rooms.
The Bell Rock Inn and the Best Western at Sedona are not included in
the competitive supply. The Bell Rock Inn has a lower rate structure and
virtually no meeting facilities. The Best Western Inn at Sedona has recently
opened and represents a limited service hotel with a lower rate structure.
UP Sedona believes that the subject hotel's anticipated quality,
proposed facilities and amenities, and golf/spa affiliation should allow it to
be positioned well above the mid-range established by the upper and lower
competitive properties with respect to both quality of facilities, available
services and amenities, and overall average rate structure.
UP Sedona obtained a survey from Warnick & Company regarding the
historical performance of the competitive supply as follows:

The average rate indicated in the previous table does not reflect the
rate disparity between properties representing the upper and lower end of the
competitive resort market. According to Warnick & Company, the four properties
in the upper resort tier (Los Abrigados, L'Auberge, Enchantment Resort, and the
Junipine Resort) had average annual room rates ranging between $160 and $180
during 1995. Conversely, average room rates at the Best Western Arroyo Roble and
the Poco Diablo Resort during 1995 averaged between $100 and $110. The average
rate at Poco Diablo will likely be enhanced as a result of the recent opening of
28 suites and renovation efforts. Every property in the competitive supply has
experienced solid rate growth over the past few years.
The above table indicates that the Sedona market has experienced solid
growth in occupancy and average room rates over the past few years. UP Sedona
believes this growth has been attributed to improved economic conditions, the
favorable national exposure of Sedona as a destination area, improved marketing
efforts by the individual properties and the community and the lack of new
supply. The decrease in occupancy in 1996 is attributed to the decline in
tourism in northern Arizona in the summer as a result of severe threat of forest
fires, which closed the national forests, and the impact of the Olympics, which
reduced tourist travel to the southwest.
Since 1992, the Sedona competitive supply has substantially
out-performed the U.S. full service and U.S. resort markets as measured by
occupancy, ADR and REVPAR, with the exception of 1992, where occupancy was
slightly below those markets. The following tables compare these performance
measures with those of the U.S. full service and U.S. resort markets for the
years 1992 through 1995:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Resort Market Seasonality.
According to Warnick & Company, the Sedona resort market is affected
by seasonality with demand fluctuating at different levels throughout the year.
The severity of demand fluctuation has lessened in recent years as a result of
the increasing popularity of the area. Peak season in demand occurs in Spring,
Summer and Fall. Specifically, the peak season extends from April through August
and includes the month of October. During peak periods, occupancy in Sedona
ranges from 80% - 90% and there is less disparity between weekend and weekday
demand.
The "shoulder" season includes February and March, September and early
November. Occupancy percentages generally range from the 60s to the 70s during
this period. Group meetings and group tour demand bolsters mid-week occupancies
and individual tour demand is mainly oriented to the weekends. As a result, the
resort market experiences numerous fill nights (periods in which the market is
at capacity) on the weekends during the shoulder season.
The low season is represented by the later part of November and the
months of December and January. The Red Rock Fantasy, as well as other events
held in the area during this period have helped to increase demand activity
during this low season. Market occupancy ranges from 50-60% during this period.
UP Sedona believes that there remains a misconception that the weather
in Sedona is similar to the extreme cold of other northern areas of the State
such as Flagstaff. However, much of the area outdoor recreational activity
(golf, hiking, etc.) is available on a year-round basis. The two main golf
courses in Sedona each recorded less then 10 "no play" days on average over the
past two years as a result of poor weather.
Solid occupancy growth has been present in the competitive market
since 1992, particularly during the shoulder and slow seasons. The properties
that UP Sedona believes are directly competitive with the hotel achieved an
occupancy rate of 79% in 1995, which is higher than the occupancy rate achieved
by the Sedona lodging market as a whole.
Market Demand.
The overall demand for resort lodging accommodations in the Sedona
area is generated primarily by three market segments: individual leisure, group
meetings and group tours. Based on information obtained by Warnick & Company
through interviews with Sedona hotel operators, it is estimated that the
commercial demand segment comprises only approximately 3% of the total number of
rooms rented in Sedona in 1995 due to the minimal commercial activity in Sedona
and was primarily satisfied by properties in the downtown area of the City of
Sedona. UP Sedona does not expect a substantial amount of business from
commercial travelers.
25
<PAGE>
Individual Leisure. The "individual leisure" market segment consists
of tours requiring accommodations in the area for general sightseeing, weekend
"get-aways", cultural activities and a variety of recreational and special
events throughout the year. This demand segment is strongest in the Spring,
Summer and Fall. Individual leisure demand is characterized by multiple
occupancy. Based on information obtained by Warnick & Company through interviews
with Sedona hotel operators, it is estimated that this market segment accounted
for approximately 77% of the total rooms rented in the competitive supply in
Sedona in 1995. UP Sedona believes that individual leisure travelers generally
select accommodations based on the following factors:
+ Aesthetic appeal of surrounding area
+ Proximity to area attractions
+ Overall quality of the facilities
+ Quality and variety of recreational facilities
+ Value offered
+ Name identity/affiliation and/or reputation
Group Market. Group meeting demand is typically comprised of smaller
regional/state associations, state corporations and state government. Corporate
meeting business consists primarily of executive/incentive retreats and
conferences. Group demand in Sedona typically peaks during March-April and
September-October. Based on information obtained by Warnick & Company through
interviews with Sedona hotel operators, it is estimated that group meeting
demand accounted for approximately 20% of the total rooms rented in Sedona in
1995 by the hotels in the competitive supply.
UP Sedona believes there has been support from the group market in the
past in Sedona and that, with the loss of the meeting space at Los Abrigados,
there is a significant opportunity for new group-oriented resort hotel business
in the Sedona market. Currently, only a few of the properties competitive with
the hotel specifically cater to the group demand segment. The design of the
hotel has specifically taken into consideration the requirements to meet this
demand. It believes that certain factors that contribute to group use of a
particular facility include the following:
+ Image and reputation
+ Quality, flexibility, and size of meeting facilities
+ Quality of support services provided to group meeting
planners and their attendees
+ Distance/travel time to airport
+ Convenience of access to shopping, restaurants services,
attractions and recreational facilities (especially golf)
+ Quality, variety, and size of food and beverage outlets
+ Quality and consistence of service in all areas of the hotel
+ Pricing
26
<PAGE>
Future Demand Growth.
UP Sedona estimates that demand will increase at approximately 3
percent annually starting in 1998, the point in which new supply is expected to
enter the competitive marketplace. This growth is consistent with the demand
growth experienced by the competitive supply between 1992 and 1994.
UP Sedona also anticipates that the new additions to the competitive
supply, specifically the hotel, will induce demand into the market. Induced
demand is new demand that enters a market as a direct result of the introduction
of a new hotel product. This demand is over and above the normal demand growth
experienced by the marketplace. The introduction of new properties will allow
the market to attract additional demand which is not able to be accommodated in
the market because of facility size or capacity constraints. As a result of
their more unique physical attributes, variety of amenities, and ability to
cater to all demand segments, resort oriented hotels, more than any other
lodging type, possess the ability to induce new demand into a marketplace.
Prospective New Resort Supply.
UP Sedona estimates that 440 new hotel units (including the hotel)
will be constructed within the next three years. These new rooms, combined with
a 50 room reduction at a competitive hotel, result in a net increase of 390
rooms. The recent addition of 28 rooms at Poco Diablo, the proposed 70 room The
Cliffs at Oak Creek (lodging and timeshare), and the 47 room Sedona Real are the
only additions to the competitive supply as other recent additions and proposed
additions have been in the limited-service category.
Further potential supply is restrained both by inadequate sewer
capacity and the current community plan that does not anticipate the zoning of
new properties for hotel development.
Market Penetration for the Hotel.
Individual Tourist/Leisure Demand. As discussed under "Market Demand,"
individual leisure demand for the competitive supply accounted for approximately
77% of the total occupied rooms in 1995. UP Sedona estimates that the leisure
market will account for approximately 55% of the occupied rooms in the hotel
during a stabilized year of operations, which is more than 20% less than that
experienced by the competitive supply. The remaining demand will be filled by
the group market.
Factors that contribute to the hotel's ability to attract leisure
travelers include the following:
+ Unsatisfied demand within the competitive supply during the
peak season
+ The hotel's suite orientation
+ The fact that it is the only hotel located on an 18 hole
golf course in Sedona/Oak Creek offering preferential tee
times and discounted green fees
+ The competitive rate structure just below the mid-range
+ The guest privileges at the Ridge Spa
+ The full service nature of the hotel
27
<PAGE>
Group Demand. Of the competitive supply, only Poco Diablo, Enchantment
and Arroyo Roble offer group-oriented facilities. Poco Diablo offers the largest
meeting space (6,000 square feet). UP Sedona believes that the removal from the
market of the Los Abrigados meeting space (10,000 square feet) has created
significant unsatisfied demand for meeting facilities. The group market is
estimated to account for 45% of the occupied rooms in the hotel upon
stabilization. Although this is significantly higher than the 20% experienced by
the competitive supply in 1995, UP Sedona believes that it is well positioned to
capture this proportion of the group demand for the following reasons:
+ The hotel will provide modern meeting facilities that will
be superior to those offered by any of the properties in the
competitive supply
+ The hotel's suite orientation
+ The hotel will provide a variety of resort oriented
facilities and recreational amenities, including on-site
golf and spa privileges. This will provide the hotel with a
significant competitive advantage when considering groups
that emphasize golf as an important component of their
itinerary
+ The hotel's location provides a more remote and resort
oriented atmosphere, yet is convenient to all the facilities
and attractions recognized throughout the city of Sedona and
the surrounding region
Based on the above factors, the hotel is positioned to generate
leisure and group business by meeting unsatisfied demand even though the market
supply is expected to increase. The following table sets forth estimated market
penetration for the hotel:

Average Daily Rate.
The ADR in the competitive supply has escalated at a consistent pace
since 1992 as set forth in the table entitled "Historical Performance of
Competitive Resort Supply" on page 24. Properties in the upper tier achieved an
ADR in the $160 to $180 range and properties in the lower tier achieved an ADR
in the $100 to $110 range. The average ADR for all properties in the competitive
supply was $160.00 in 1996. UP Sedona estimates that the ADR for the hotel will
be $155 (1999 dollars) upon entering the market, which is considerably below the
average ADR achieved in 1996 when adjusted for an approximate 3% inflation
factor.
Conclusion.
UP Sedona believes that the Sedona lodging market will experience
continued growth into the foreseeable future. Factors contributing to the
strength of the market and its overall potential growth are:
+ Projected growth of tourism throughout the northern Arizona
region;
+ Increased desirability of locations within Arizona as
destinations for group meeting planners;
+ Local municipal commitment to aggressive tourism marketing;
+ Positive economic trends within the State of Arizona;
+ Enhanced interest in Arizona as a premiere resort and golf
destination;
+ Proposed expansion projects at Sky Harbor International
Airport (Phoenix); and
+ Continued growth in the slow season demand.
UP Sedona believes that the hotel, with its larger one-bedroom Units
with full kitchens, will provide an attractive alternative to the more standard
guest rooms offered by the majority of the competitive hotels. The hotel's
conference facilities will be the largest of any of the competitive hotels.
Further, the hotel will be the only property offering on-site championship golf
facilities. UP Sedona believes that the hotel's anticipated quality, proposed
meeting space, recreational amenities and golf and spa affiliations will
position the hotel to attract individual leisure and group travelers and create
additional demand for lodgings in the Sedona market. The hotel will represent
the newest full service hotel addition to the competitive supply since
Enchantment was built in 1987. UP Sedona anticipates that the hotel will be
positioned below both the midpoint rate range and the market leaders and
anticipates that it will achieve occupancy levels above the competitive supply.
Based on all of the factors discussed above, UP Sedona believes the
hotel is well positioned to perform as indicated in the Forecasts appearing at
page F-1.
BASIS FOR FORECASTS AND SUMMARY OF SELECTED FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The following represents a summary of selected financial performance
of a typical one-bedroom Unit and studio Unit for the first five years of
operations and is derived from the Forecasts appearing on page F-1. This summary
of selected financial performance should be read in conjunction with the
Forecasts, which includes the assumptions underlying the Forecasts and related
notes.
29
<PAGE>
The Forecasts include a five year forecast of the financial
performance of the hotel and, by applying the allocable percentage to a typical
one-bedroom Unit and typical studio Unit, a five year forecast of financial
performance for the owner's of each of the typical Units illustrated. UP Sedona
has prepared the Forecasts based upon its inquiry as set forth and based upon
the stated assumptions, which it believes are reasonable. While UP Sedona
believes it has taken into consideration all factors that can affect the overall
economic performance of the hotel, there are a number of critical factors that
can cause actual performance, especially when related to the hotel industry, to
vary with that of a forecast. These factors include, but are not limited to: (a)
projected occupancy rate; (b) projected average daily room rate; (c) projected
restaurant performance; (d) the effect of competition; (e) general economic
environment; (f) strength of the tourist sector of the economy; and (g)
assumptions regarding the effects of inflation on both revenue and expenses.
Investors should recognize that there can be no assurance that the
assumptions will prove correct or that actual results will not differ from the
results forecasted. Actual results may vary materially because events and
circumstances frequently do not occur as expected. Investors are encouraged to
consult with their own advisors with respect to the assumptions upon which the
forecasts are based and are encouraged to review the discussion of risk factors
regarding the hotel and its operations set forth under the heading "Risk
Factors" on page 7.

THE HOTEL OPERATOR
DELTA HOTELS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Delta Hotels International, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta
Hotels Limited, will serve as the hotel operator pursuant to the Hotel Operating
and Rental Pool Agreement. Delta Hotels Limited is Canada's largest privately
owned hotel company. Delta Hotels Limited and its affiliates are not affiliated
in any way with UP Sedona or United Properties Ltd. Delta Hotels Limited opened
its first hotel in 1962 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Based in Toronto,
Ontario, Delta Hotels Limited has grown to become a leader in the Canadian
hospitality market, with representation in every major city in Canada.
Significant development of the Delta chain and brand has occurred under its
present ownership by RH Corporation and Transtrend-Canada Ltd., affiliates of
Realstar Group of Toronto and Lai Sun Group of Hong Kong. Delta Hotels Limited
has expanded from 14 hotel properties under management in Canada in 1987 to a
present portfolio of 21 Canadian hotel properties under management totalling
6,886 guest rooms. An additional four Canadian hotel properties are presently
under development, which will add another 1,000 guest rooms to the existing
portfolio.
From its strong Canadian base, Delta Hotels Limited has expanded its
international presence in recent years to destinations frequented by Canadian
travellers. Through its affiliates, Delta Hotels Limited manages two Delta
branded hotel properties totalling 266 guest rooms in the Caribbean, one 800
room Delta branded property in Florida and one additional 290 room property
under development in the Caribbean. Through Delta Asia Limited, an affiliate of
Delta Hotels Limited, the Delta brand has also been expanded into Thailand,
Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines, with four Delta branded hotel properties
under management totalling 765 rooms, and an additional three properties under
development totalling 846 rooms.
Delta hotels are positioned in the first class category of the
hospitality sector with hotels containing the majority of its hotel rooms rated
"four-star" by the Canadian/American Automobile Association. Delta hotels have a
solid reputation among business and leisure travellers, and enjoy very high
guest loyalty. An independent research study of Canadian frequent business
travellers recently conducted by the Angus Reid Group reported that Delta hotels
achieved a higher guest satisfaction rating in 1996 than their competitors, and
their guest satisfaction rating increased substantially over the 1995 rating.
Delta Hotels Limited has been innovative in introducing new products and service
to the hospitality industry. Delta Hotels Limited's guest recognition program,
Delta Privilege, is the largest program of its kind in Canada. Delta Hotels
Limited was also the first chain in Canada to introduce an in-room office
program.
Hotels within Delta Hotel Limited's Canadian portfolio have reported a
steady history of growth in occupancy, average daily rate and revenue per
available room per day as indicated in the following table:
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
32
<PAGE>
Delta Hotels Limited has consistently delivered higher net income per
available room from its Canadian portfolio than the hotel industry average in
Canada. Compared with other major first class hotel brands, including
Doubletree, Sheraton, Hilton, Westin, Radisson and Marriott, Delta is a much
lower cost operator when comparing similar brand costs, including franchise
fees, national advertising and marketing and reservation fees.
Investors should note that results that may be achieved at other
hotels in different markets may not be indicative of results that can be
achieved at the subject hotel.
The net income per available room for 1991 through 1996 for Delta
Hotels Limited Canadian portfolio and for the hotel industry in Canada is set
forth in the following table:

MANAGEMENT OF THE HOTEL AND THE RENTAL POOL
The hotel operator will manage the hotel and the rental pool, and
maintain the hotel on behalf of the owners pursuant to the Hotel Operating and
Rental Pool Agreement. The following discussion of all material terms of the
Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool
Agreement together with all attachments and exhibits to the Hotel Operating and
Rental Pool Agreement, which are set forth in Annex B hereto.
MANAGEMENT OF THE RENTAL POOL
Mandatory Participation in the Rental Pool
Participation for all Unit owners in the rental pool in accordance
with the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement is mandatory. In addition,
any Units that have not been sold by UP Sedona will be placed in the rental
pool. A Unit will automatically be placed in the rental pool when the Unit is
not reserved for use by the owner. Each owner appoints the hotel operator as his
exclusive agent for management of the rental pool and the bookings of the
owner's Unit and agrees to honor and be bound by the rental booking of his Unit
made by the hotel operator in accordance with the Hotel Operating and Rental
Pool Agreement. Units may not be used for any purpose other than as hotel suites
in accordance with the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement, the
Declaration and other condominium documents governing the hotel. The hotel
operator has complete discretion to establish Unit rental rates including
offering the use of Units at low promotional rental rates and offering Units on
a complimentary basis from time to time to guests of the hotel.
The initial operating period of the rental pool will commence on the
date that the Hotel is opened by the hotel operator for business as a hotel in
the hotel operator's hotel system and will conclude on December 31 in that year.
Thereafter, operating periods for the rental pool will run 12 months based on
the calendar year.
Owners' Use of Units
An owner is guaranteed to be able to use his Unit for a total of 14
days per calendar year. In addition, an owner may be able to use his Unit for up
to an additional 14 days per calendar year depending upon, certain factors set
forth below. The executive Units will not be available for personal use. If an
owner reserves the use of his Unit for a stay which commences at or after 2:00
p.m. on a Friday or a Saturday, the owner must reserve the Unit for a minimum
two night stay. An owner may use his Unit no more than four times a year with
respect to two or three night stays that commence at or after 2:00 p.m. on a
Friday or a Saturday. If an owner reserves the use of his Unit by written notice
to the hotel operator no less than six months prior to the date the owner
intends to use the Unit, the owner is guaranteed to be able to use his Unit for
a total of up to 14 days. Additionally, an owner may be permitted to use his
Unit for a total of up to an additional 14 days if the owner reserves the use of
his Unit by written notice to the hotel operator no more than 15 days prior to
the date the owner intends to use his Unit and, at the time the owner gives such
notice to the hotel operator, (i) the Unit is not subject to a prior reservation
for any of the requested time, and (ii) the hotel is less than 80% reserved for
any of the requested time. If an owner does not use all of his allotted days in
a calendar year, the owner will not be entitled to accumulate the unused days
for use in any subsequent year.
34
<PAGE>
Furthermore, if an owner reserves the use of his Unit, but does not
actually use the Unit at the reserved time, the owner will nonetheless be deemed
to have used the Unit unless the owner has canceled the reservation with the
approval of the hotel operator no less than 30 days prior to the owner's
scheduled use or five days if the use is pursuant to the 15 day notice
requirement and the Unit is made available for rental to the public. So long as
an owner is deemed to have used his Unit (regardless of whether the owner
actually uses the Unit and regardless of whether the Unit is later rented to
hotel guests during that time), the Unit will not be deemed to be in the rental
pool. However, any revenues generated from the rental of the Unit to hotel
guests during the time that had been reserved by the Unit owner will be for the
benefit of other owners whose Units are in the rental pool at that time.
An owner will be required to pay a mandatory room cleaning charge in
connection with the owner's use of his Unit. Subject to adjustments to
subsequent operating budgets, the current charge for a one-bedroom Unit is $30
and for a studio Unit is $20. In addition, an owner will pay the standard
charges established by the hotel operator for, among other amenities, long
distance telephone calls, movie rentals, room service and restaurant usage, and
the purchase of other goods and services at the hotel. All of the furniture,
fixtures and equipment located in and around the hotel (excluding any such items
located in a Unit) will be owned collectively by the owners. Any furniture,
fixtures and equipment located within a Unit will be owned by the owner of the
Unit but cannot be removed or changed except as set forth in the Hotel Operating
and Rental Pool Agreement.
ALLOCATION OF REVENUE AND EXPENSES
The Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement describes the manner in
which income from Unit rentals is divided among the owners. For each day that a
Unit is in the rental pool, the owner of that Unit will be entitled to share in
the Gross Revenue from the operation of the hotel, regardless of whether the
owner's Unit generated rental income on that particular date. "Gross Revenue"
consists of all revenue of any kind derived directly or indirectly from the
operation of the hotel and specifically includes (i) revenue from the use and
enjoyment of the hotel by guests and owners such as, for example, room revenue,
revenue generated by the restaurant, the conference center, and any use of the
recreational facilities, housekeeping charges, revenue from movie rentals,
minibar and telephone usage, and (ii) parking revenue, proceeds from business
interruption insurance, revenue from other hotel amenities (such as vending
machines) and fees from concessionaires operating at the hotel. Gross Revenue
does not include most taxes, capital gains, condemnation awards, rebates or
discounts, proceeds from most types of insurance and gratuities paid to hotel
employees. An owner's allocable share of the gross revenue will be determined
based on the percentage interest of the Unit. The percentage interest of a Unit
will be determined according to the following formula as provided in the
Declaration:
Seller's initial value of a Unit as established
by UP Sedona

<PAGE>
An owner's allocable share of revenue for a day in which the owner's Unit is in
the rental pool (not reserved for use by the owner) will be determined according
to the following formula:
Gross revenues from Percentage Interest of a Unit

hotel Sum of Percentage Interests of all Units in the
rental pool on that day
An owner's allocable share of all hotel expenses and other costs attributable to
the owners under the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement will be
determined according to the following formula:
Total hotel expenses
and other costs X Percentage Interest of a Unit
An owner will be responsible for his allocable share of the costs attributable
to the owners for each day that the hotel is operating, regardless of whether
the owner's Unit is in the rental pool on any particular day. The owners bear
all of the costs and expenses of operating, maintaining and repairing the hotel,
the hotel grounds and the contents of the hotel. These costs include, for
example: (i) repair and maintenance of hotel buildings, grounds, furniture,
fixtures and equipment located at the hotel; (ii) purchasing all supplies
including food, beverages, linens, and cleaning products necessary for the
operation of the hotel; (iii) costs associated with hiring, firing and
compensating employees necessary to staff the hotel; (iv) fees paid to the hotel
operator; (v) utilities and insurance; and (vi) marketing and promotion
expenses, reservation fees and travel agent commissions.
DIRECT EXPENSES OF OWNERS
Each owner will be personally responsible for the payment of all taxes
applicable to the owner arising out of the ownership of a Unit, amounts owed
under any financing of the Unit, and all assessments made by the Association.
The amount of property taxes to be paid by each owner will be determined
annually by the Yavapai County Assessor's Office. Property taxes will be
assessed against each owner as of the date the Unit is purchased by the owner.
UP Sedona's estimate of taxes is based on application of 1996 tax rates to such
property and is set forth in the Forecasts. The actual tax may differ from the
projected amount when actually assessed. Subsequent transfers of one or more
Units may cause further reassessments of one or more Units and tax increases.
Property taxes may increase for all owners even in years in which no
reassessment from any sale or transfer occurs.
The assessments payable by an owner to the Association and the method
of billing and collecting are more fully described in the section entitled
Summary of Declaration and Related Documents. The amount of each annual
assessment initially is based upon the annual projected operating budget
prepared by the hotel operator. If any estimated budget understate net cash
flow, the Association may amend the budget and increase the annual assessments
against all Units, based upon each Units allocable share. The estimated
Association budget for the first operational year for the hotel, after taking
into account hotel revenue and expenses, is $50,000, which is intended to cover
fees for professional services and administrative expenses incurred by the
Association. Each Unit will be assessed its allocable share of such budgeted
amount. The assessments for future years will depend upon hotel revenues and
expenses for those years.
36
<PAGE>
If a Unit owner fails to pay property taxes, the taxing authorities
may place a tax lien on the delinquent owner's Unit and foreclose the tax lien
if the delinquent tax is not paid prior to the tax sale. If a Unit owner fails
to pay any financing of the Unit, the lender may elect to pursue collection of
the debt against the delinquent owner with or without foreclosing any mortgage
lien against the delinquent owner's unit given to secure such financing. If a
Unit owner fails to pay its assessments to the Association, the Association may
elect to pursue collection of the delinquent assessment with or without
foreclosing the assessment lien which the Association has against the delinquent
owner's Unit.
RENTAL POOL REPORTS
For each calendar month, the hotel operator will prepare detailed
statements of operations that describe, among other things, the gross revenue
from the hotel, hotel operating expenses, capital expenditures, reserves, and
the amount of cash flow, if any, distributable to an owner for that month. A
summary of these statements of operations will be mailed to each owner no later
than the 20th day following the end of each calendar month. In addition, the
hotel operator will provide each owner with a monthly statement for the previous
month that describes how many days in that month the unit was occupied and how
many days the Unit was in the rental pool. The hotel operator will also prepare
and mail to each owner within 75 days after the end of an operating year
statements of operations for the entire operating year and individual statements
relative to each owner's Unit. Unless otherwise agreed in advance by the Board
of Directors, the statements of operations will be audited. The individual
statements will serve as the basis for reporting to the Internal Revenue Service
and other appropriate taxing authorities.
DISTRIBUTIONS FROM RENTAL POOL
The amount distributable to an owner will be computed each month by
subtracting the following amounts from the owner's share of gross revenue from
hotel operations: (i) the owner's share of hotel operating expenses; (ii) the
owner's share of amounts necessary to fund or replenish operating and capital
expenditure reserves, make capital lease payments and pay the hotel operator's
Incentive Fee; (iii) the owner's share of capital expenditures exceeding amounts
paid out of the appropriate reserve; (iv) the owner's share of repayment
expenses in connection with a previous operating shortfall, if any, (see
"Shortfalls" below) after depletion of reserves (see "Reserves" below); (v) any
assessment payable by the owner pursuant to the Declaration; (vi) expenses
associated with an owner's personal use of the hotel (for example, the cleaning
charge); (vii) bed taxes and other similar taxes imposed or collected in
connection with the use of the hotel by the hotel patrons; (viii) withholding
taxes, if applicable; and (ix) any other amounts payable by the owner to Delta
pursuant to the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement.
The amount distributable to an owner, if any, will be sent to the
owners with the monthly financial summary (see, "Rental Pool Reports" above).
Alternatively, the hotel operator may prepare a reasonable estimate of the
amount distributable to the owners on an annual basis and distribute to the
owners the estimated amount, less an amount (not to exceed 20%) established by
the hotel operator for seasonal working capital requirements, in 12 equal
monthly installments. If the hotel operator elects to distribute an estimated
amount, at the end of the operating year the hotel operator will calculate the
37
<PAGE>
actual amount distributable to each owner and pay to each owner the balance of
the amount, if any, distributable for that operating year. This last payment
will be sent at the end of the operating year with the annual financial
statements.
RESERVES
An operating cash reserve in the amount of $250,000 will be
established when the hotel commences operations. Upon the closing of the
purchase of a Unit, the Unit owner will be required to contribute to the
operating cash reserve an amount equal to the percentage interest of the Unit
being purchased multiplied by $250,000 (see Annex A), which amounts range from
$946 to $1,186. This reserve will be available to the hotel operator for working
capital in connection with the operation of the hotel commencing in the second
year of operations. Reserves will be established for capital expenditures for
repair and replacement of the hotel premises and repair and replacement of
furniture, fixtures and equipment as follows:
Amount to be Reserved Each
Year Expressed as a
Percentage of Gross Revenue
Year in that Year
---- ------------
1 0%
2 2%
3 3%
4 4%
5 and subsequent years 5%
SHORTFALLS
If at any time the funds derived from the operations of the hotel
(including established reserves) are not sufficient to pay when due all expenses
incurred in connection with the operation of the hotel, capital expenditures and
other amounts for which the owners are liable (such as may occur from time to
time as a result of, among other causes, seasonal fluctuations in the use of the
hotel by owners and other patrons), the hotel operator may require each owner to
remit to the hotel operator the owner's allocable share of the shortfall. The
owner's allocable share of the shortfall is determined by multiplying the total
amount of the shortfall by the Percentage Interest of a Unit. The formula for
determining the Percentage Interest of a Unit is described above in the section
entitled "Allocation of Revenues and Expenses." The hotel operator may elect,
but is not obligated, to advance the shortfall and obtain repayment of the
shortfall, plus interest accruing at the designated prime rate plus 2%, out of
the cash flow from the operations of the hotel. Payment of the shortfall by the
owner is obligatory and may be enforced by, among other methods, enforcement by
the Association of an assessment lien against the Units. See "Summary of
Declaration and Related Documents - Enforcement of the Declaration."
38
<PAGE>
HOTEL OPERATOR MAY RELY UPON ACTS OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors of the Association elected in accordance with
the provisions of the Declaration will represent the owners in all respects
concerning the hotel operator. See "Summary of Declaration and Related Documents
- - The Association - Board of Directors". All of the owners will be bound by the
acts of the Board of Directors on behalf of the owners and the hotel operator
will be entitled to rely upon the acts of the Board of Directors as the
authorized acts of the owners. The Board of Directors and the hotel operator
will meet not less than frequently than quarterly.
MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF THE HOTEL
The hotel operator will perform, on an exclusive basis, all duties and
obligations within the scope of the management, maintenance, and marketing of
the hotel, including the restaurant and conference facilities. The hotel
operator will, among other things, use all reasonable efforts to maintain and
operate the hotel as a first-class resort hotel, market and sell the rental use
of the Units and other facilities of the hotel, furnish bookkeeping, inventory
control, reservations, marketing and advertising services, direct, in
consultation with the Board of Directors, litigation in respect of the hotel,
supervise the use of the hotel by guests and owners, hire, train, terminate and
perform other managerial functions with respect to the staff necessary to the
operation of the hotel, and obtain for itself or on behalf of the owners all
insurance, licenses and permits necessary to the operation of the hotel. The
hotel operator may make, at the owners' expense, but subject to the then current
approved operating plan and budget and other limitations, reasonable changes to
the hotel.
The hotel operator will prepare, on or before December 1 of each year,
an annual operating plan and budget for the operation of the hotel during the
following operating year. The annual operating plan and budget will be subject
to the reasonable approval of the Board of Directors of the Association and a
summary of the operating plan and budget will be sent to all of the owners after
it has been approved by the Board of Directors. Either the hotel operator or the
Board of Directors may elect to have disputes regarding the operating plan and
budget resolved by arbitration.
The hotel operator will obtain and maintain, as an operating expense
of the hotel, public liability, fire and casualty, business interruption,
workmen's compensation and other insurance reasonably necessary to the operation
of the hotel, naming the owners, the hotel operator and the Association as
insureds. With regard to the possible liability of the owners, see "Risk Factors
- - Potential Liability of Ownership."
Under the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement, the hotel
operator may, in its discretion, assign all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement to an affiliate
of the hotel operator or any successor in interest to the hotel operator.
FEES PAID TO HOTEL OPERATOR
As a compensation for its services provided under the Hotel Operating
and Rental Pool Agreement, the hotel operator will be paid various fees. The
hotel operator's fees will be paid out of the gross revenues of the hotel. The
hotel operator will receive a Base Fee of $10,000 per month for the 12 month
period following the opening of the hotel and 3.0% of gross revenues thereafter.
The Base Fee will be payable in monthly installments. In addition, the hotel
39
<PAGE>
operator will be paid an Incentive Fee based on a tiered scale if the hotel
operator achieves certain performance standards in respect of the operations of
the hotel based on Net Hotel Return. "Net Hotel Return" is computed as follows:
----
| expenses of the operation of the hotel
|
| +
| amount contributed to reserve for
Net Hotel Return = Gross Revenue minus | replacement of furniture, fixtures and
| equipment and capital improvements
|
| +
| real property taxes
----
Depending upon the performance of the hotel, the Incentive Fee payable to the
hotel operator may range from 0% of Net Hotel Return (if net hotel return is
less than $3.2 million) to 30% of the amount by which Net Hotel Return exceeds
$4.2 million in the first full operating year, decreasing to 10% of the amount
by which Net Hotel Return exceeds $4.2 million in the sixth and subsequent
operating years. Specifically, the Incentive Fee will be computed as follows:
INCENTIVE FEE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YEAR YEAR YEAR YEAR
NET HOTEL RETURN 1 2 3,4,5 6,7,8,9,10
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Less than $3.2 Million 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
Over $3.2 Million and 15.0% 15.0% 12.0% 10.0%
up to $4.2 Million of the amount by which Net Hotel Return exceeds
$3.2 Million
Over $4.2 Million 30.0% 25.0% 22.50% 10.0%
of the amount by which Net Hotel Return exceeds
$4.2 Million
If the term of the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement is renewed (see the
discussion regarding the rental terms below in the section entitled "Termination
of the hotel operator") the Incentive Fee will be computed in the same manner as
in year 10.
The hotel operator will also receive reimbursement for marketing and
reservations system costs incurred in connection with the operation of the
hotel. The hotel operator will also be paid a monthly Administration Fee in the
amount of $5 per month per Unit. In addition, the hotel operator will be
entitled to be reimbursed for costs incurred by the hotel operator in connection
with special promotional programs, training materials, travel by head office
personnel and others on matters directly involving the hotel, and other similar
expenses. Subject to approval by the Board of Directors of the Association as
part of the annual hotel operating budget approval process, the hotel operator
40
<PAGE>
may retain an affiliate or division as a consultant to perform technical
services in connection with any substantial remodeling, repairs, construction or
other capital improvements to the hotel and the hotel operator and its affiliate
will be entitled to be compensated by the owners for their services.
TERMINATION OF HOTEL OPERATOR
The appointment of the hotel operator under the Hotel Operating and
Rental Pool Agreement will run continuously from the date that the hotel is
opened by the hotel operator for business as a hotel in the hotel operator's
hotel system until December 31, 2008, unless earlier terminated. The appointment
of the hotel operator will be automatically renewed for two additional terms of
5 years each provided the following conditions have been satisfied: (a) the
owners have not previously terminated the appointment of the hotel operator; (b)
the hotel operator has not elected to terminate its own appointment or given
notice to the board of directors of the Association of its election not to seek
renewal of its appointment; and (c) the appointment of the hotel operator has
been extended for all prior periods. The appointment of the hotel operator may
also be renewed by agreement of the owners and the hotel operator (regardless of
whether the conditions described above have been satisfied). The hotel operator
may terminate its appointment under the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool
Agreement at any time upon 60 days' prior notice to the Board of Directors of
the Association if the owners fail to make or authorize the hotel operator to
make capital expenditures without which the hotel cannot be operated as a
first-class hotel (in the discretion of the hotel operator) or if the number of
Units subject to the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement is less than 200.
The appointment of the hotel operator under the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool
Agreement may be terminated by a vote of 75% of the Units entitled to vote on
the matter if the hotel operator is in default under the Hotel Operating and
Rental Pool Agreement and the hotel operator fails to cure the breach within the
required time.
The appointment of the hotel operator under the Hotel Operating and
Rental Pool Agreement may also be terminated by a vote of 75% of the Units
entitled to vote thereon if, commencing in the ninth operating year, the hotel
operator fails to achieve minimum performance standards. These minimum
performance standards will not be met if in two consecutive operating years the
REVPAR for the hotel is not at least 90% of the average REVPAR of a sample of
competitors of the hotel, or if in two consecutive operating years the hotel
fails to produce a Net Hotel Return greater than $3,625,000 in years 2007 and
2008, and $3,750,000 in year 2009 and subsequent years. The sample of
competitors of the hotel for purposes of the REVPAR test initially consists of
five hotels/resorts designated in the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement.
These hotels/resorts are currently operating in the vicinity of Sedona and Oak
Creek Canyon, Arizona, offer first-class accommodations and recreation and
restaurant facilities, and serve similar market segments to the hotel. The
sample of competitors may be changed by agreement of the owners and the hotel
operator where one of the existing sample competitors ceases to operate or no
longer qualifies as a comparable hotel/resort or where an additional comparable
hotel/resort opens in the vicinity of the hotel and completes two full years of
operation. In addition, the sample of competitors and the 90% benchmark will be
reevaluated and, if appropriate, changed by agreement of UP Sedona and the hotel
operator approximately five months prior to the opening of the hotel. However,
if the hotel operator fails to achieve such minimum performance standards, the
hotel operator has the option to contribute an amount necessary to be deemed to
have achieved the minimum performance standards in lieu of being terminated.
41
<PAGE>
If the appointment of the hotel operator is terminated, the hotel
operator will be paid the amount of its fees that have accrued or been earned up
to the date of termination. Fees that are computed on an annual or other
periodic basis will be amortized and prorated based on the date of termination.
To the extent the hotel operator or its Affiliates own Units, with
respect to any vote of the owners to terminate the hotel operator, the hotel
operator for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates irrevocably appoints the
president of the Association as its proxy for the limited purpose of casting the
hotel operator's and its Affiliates votes as abstentions on such matters.
Furthermore, for purpose of determining whether the required number of Units
have voted to terminate the hotel operator, votes recorded as abstentions shall
not be counted toward a quorum or as having been entitled to vote on such
matters.
REMOVAL OF THE HOTEL OPERATOR'S BRAND
Pursuant to the Declaration, which constitutes a recorded restriction
on the hotel and each Unit, all of the Units must, at all times, be subject to
the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement. Unless the Hotel Operating and
Rental Pool Agreement is amended to remove this requirement, any existing Unit
will automatically be subject to the Agreement. However, the hotel operator
reserves the right to cease to operate or identify the hotel as a hotel in the
Delta Group if at any time for any reason (which reasons are not now
foreseeable) five or more Units are not subject to the Hotel Operating and
Rental Pool Agreement (except for temporary removal as a result of a fire or
other casualty). If the hotel is no longer operated as part of the Delta group,
the hotel operator may carry out its duties through a subsidiary or assign its
rights under the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement to a subsidiary. In
addition, the name of the hotel will be changed to remove references to "Delta"
and alternate reservation and marketing services will be provided by the hotel
operator and its subsidiary at a cost to be agreed upon with the Board of
Directors.
SALE OF A UNIT BY AN OWNER
There are certain conditions that must be satisfied in connection with
the sale of a Unit by an owner. Prior to entering into an agreement for the sale
of a Unit, the selling owner must provide the proposed purchaser with a copy of
the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement and must notify the proposed
purchaser of any proposed bookings of the Unit by the selling owner. In
addition, the purchaser must, as a condition of the purchase, ratify the Hotel
Operating and Rental Pool Agreement, appoint the hotel operator as its exclusive
agent for the management and rental of the hotel and the Unit, and expressly
assume the obligations of an owner pursuant to a form acceptable to the hotel
operator. The Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement does not terminate upon
the death or the attempted withdrawal of an owner or upon the sale or transfer
of a Unit by an owner.

SUMMARY OF DECLARATION AND RELATED DOCUMENTS
The Declaration, Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the
Association impose certain covenants, conditions and restrictions on the Units
and owners. The following discussion of these documents is a summary of all of
the material terms of these documents but does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirely by reference to such documents and instruments, which
are filed as Exhibits to the Registration Statement.
THE ASSOCIATION
The Association will be formed as an Arizona non-profit corporation to
perform various management and supervision functions at the hotel on behalf of
the owners pursuant to the Declaration. The Declaration, established by UP
Sedona as Declarant, is recorded against title to the property. An owner of a
Unit automatically becomes a member of the Association. Membership in the
Association may not be transferred or retained separately from any Unit.
The Association will supervise and assure the performance of all
appropriate maintenance, management, repair, and administration of the hotel,
including the Common Elements, the Units, and all of the furnishings, fixtures,
equipment and other items located in and around the hotel. Actual operation of
the hotel will be the responsibility of a hotel operator, pursuant to the terms
of a Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement. The Association shall be
responsible for negotiating with the hotel operator on behalf of the owners;
reviewing, and approving proposed annual operating budgets prepared by the hotel
operator; and coordinating with and reviewing the performances of the hotel
operator. If a hotel operator defaults in its obligations under a Hotel
Operating and Rental Pool Agreement or if a Hotel Operating and Rental Pool
Agreement terminates and is not concurrently replaced with a new hotel operator
and Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement, the Association shall be
responsible for managing and operating the hotel.
Based upon annual operating budgets to be provided by the hotel
operator, and taking into consideration projected hotel revenues and expenses
and estimating the cost to operate the Association and perform its obligations
under the Declaration, the Association will levy annual Assessments against each
Unit. The Assessment against each Unit shall consist of the total estimated
Common Expenses set forth in the budget adopted by the Board of Directors of the
Association (after taking into account the amounts proposed to be paid from
operating revenue by the hotel operator pursuant to the approved hotel budget)
multiplied times the allocable share attributable to each Unit. The total
estimated expenses of the Association for the first operational year (after
taking into account projected hotel revenue and expenses) are $50,000, which are
intended to cover fees for professional services and administrative expenses
incurred by the Association. If the Board of Directors determines during any
fiscal year that available Association funds are or will become inadequate to
meet Common Expenses of the Association for any reason, the Board of Directors
may increase and reallocate Common Expense Assessments for that fiscal year.
In addition to Common Expense Assessments, the Association may levy
special assessments for the purposes of defraying the cost of any construction,
reconstruction, repair or replacement of capital improvements to any one or more
Units and/or the Common Elements.
43
<PAGE>
If any Common Expenses are caused by the negligence or other
misconduct of any owner, the Association shall assess that Common Expense
exclusively against such owner, to the extent not covered by insurance.
Assessments shall either be payable in whole or in installments, as
established by the Board of Directors. The Association is responsible for
enforcement and collection of the Assessments. Delinquent Assessments accrue
interest and may be subject to other late fees. The Association may request the
hotel operator to offset Assessments from amounts otherwise due to the owners
pursuant to the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement. The Association also
has the right to enforce all other rights and remedies to collect Assessments,
including but not limited to either initiating a lawsuit against a defaulting
owner to collect delinquent assessments or foreclosing any assessment lien
against a defaulting owner's Unit, or both. Once a delinquent owner has paid its
past due assessment, and all collection costs and any late fees and accrued
interest, whether by offset from amounts due from the rental pool or otherwise,
each owner will have all rights, including voting rights, available to all
non-defaulting owners under the Declarations.
Voting Rights
All voting rights are vested exclusively in the members of the
Association. The Declaration provides that there will be a period of control of
the Association by the Declarant until the earlier to occur of: (i) 90 days
after the conveyance of 75% of the Units to owners other than Declarant; (ii) 4
years after all Declarants have ceased to offer Units for sale in the ordinary
course of business; or (iii) the date Declarant records an instrument with the
County Recorder of Yavapai County relinquishing its right to appoint and remove
officers and members of the Board of Directors of the Association. During the
period of Declarant control, only the Declarant will have the right to appoint
and remove the members of the Board of Directors and the officers of the
Association. Such board members and officers are not required to be owners
during the period of Declarant control. After termination of the period of
Declarant control, each owner will be entitled to cast 1 equal vote for each
Unit owned by such owner in all meetings of the members of the Association;
however, the voting rights of an owner may be suspended if an owner fails to pay
any assessments or other amounts due the Association within 15 days after such
payment is due or if any owner violates any other provision of the Declaration
or other documents pertaining to the condominium and such violation is not cured
within 15 days after notice to the owner. Only a single vote may be cast for
each Unit, regardless of how title is held. If a Unit is owned by more than one
person and such owners are unable to agree among themselves as to how their vote
or votes shall be cast, they will lose their right to vote on the matter in
question.
Under the Declaration, a special assessment may be levied upon an
affirmative vote of two-thirds of the owners entitled to vote on such matters.
In addition, the Declaration provides the owners of the Association with the
right to vote to approve by a majority-in-interest of owners whether to finance
capital improvements in the condominium by pledging future Assessments. The
Declaration may only be amended or modified by an affirmative vote of 67% of the
owners entitled to vote thereon, except where applicable law otherwise requires
or in cases involving the exercise of development rights by the Declarant,
eminent domain, relocation of limited common elements or boundaries between
Units, subdivision of Units, or termination of the condominium. In addition, the
approval of two-thirds of the holders of first priority mortgage or deed of
trust liens with respect to the Units is required in connection with certain
acts of the Association.
44
<PAGE>
Meetings
The Association is required to hold annual meetings. Special meetings
of the Association may be called at any time by the President of the
Association, by a majority of the Board of Directors, or by written request of
the owners holding at least 25% of the votes entitled to be cast at such
meeting. All Association meetings will be held pursuant to notice given to the
owners not less than 10 nor more than 50 days prior to the date of the meeting.
Owners entitled to cast one-tenth of the total authorized votes will constitute
a quorum. If a quorum is not present at any meeting, the owners entitled to vote
who are present at such meeting will have the power to adjourn the meeting
without notice other than announcement at the meeting and the owners present at
the time and place announced in the prior adjourned meeting will constitute a
quorum.
Board of Directors; Officers
Unless the Declaration and other condominium documents or applicable
law require a vote of the owners, approvals or actions to be given or taken by
the Association will be valid if given or taken by the Board of Directors. The
Board of Directors will consist of five directors, who, except during the period
of Declarant control, must be members of the Association. Directors are
non-salaried and will not be required to render full time service. Following the
period of Declarant control, directors will be elected for staggered year terms.
Except with respect to directors appointed by the Declarant, any director may be
removed with or without cause by owners having more than two-thirds of the votes
entitled to be cast on such matter.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the control and management
of the Association and the disposition of its funds and properties. The
responsibilities of the Board of Directors include, but are not limited to:
opening bank accounts on behalf of the Association; approve or disapprove
additions to, improvements to, or alterations to the hotel; enforcing by legal
means the provisions of the Declaration and other condominium documents;
following receipt of a proposed annual operating budget from the hotel operator,
preparing and adopting an annual budget and operating plan for the hotel and
Association prior to the commencement of each fiscal year; exercising for the
Association all powers, duties and authority vested in or delegated to the
Association and not reserved to the membership by other provisions of the
Declaration or other condominium documents; supervising all officers, agents and
employees of the Association and seeing that their duties are properly
performed; levying, collecting and enforcing the payment of Assessments in
accordance with the provisions of the Declaration; causing to be procured and
maintained adequate property liability and other insurance as required by the
Declaration; negotiating with the hotel operator; and engaging providers of
professional services including attorneys, accountants and property managers, to
render services to the Association.
Officers of the Association will include a president, vice-president,
secretary and treasurer, to be appointed by the Board of Directors for one year
terms. The Board of Directors may appoint other officers for such terms and with
such authority as is determined by the Board of Directors.

USE RESTRICTIONS
Restrictions on the use of Units appear in the Declaration and other
documents. The use restrictions include, but are not limited to, the following:
i. The Units must be used only for commercial rental by the hotel
operator to the public for tourist, visitor and transient traveller
accommodation.
ii. An owner may not individually lease his Unit or directly or
indirectly charge rent or any form of consideration for the use of the owner's
Unit except in accordance with the terms of the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool
Agreement.
iii. The use of the Units is subject to the requirements of, among
other documents, the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement and the
Declaration.
iv. The rights of an owner to make use of the common elements at
the hotel are limited to those times when the owner has the right to occupy his
Unit in accordance with the terms of the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool
Agreement.
v. The hotel operator is authorized to designate certain areas of
the hotel for the exclusive use of the hotel operator and the owners may not
interfere with that exclusive use.
vi. A Unit owner is guaranteed use of his own Unit for a maximum of
14 days in any year provided at least six months advance notice is given. A Unit
may also be used by its owner for up to an additional 14 days per year provided
that no more than 15 days notice is given but only if the Unit has not been
reserved and the hotel is less than 80% booked. An executive Unit may not be
used or occupied by its owner except to make the executive Unit subject to the
rental use in accordance with the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement.
vii. No animals are allowed in the Units or in other areas of the
hotel except for physical impairment assistive animals to the extent that they
are required by persons at the hotel.
viii. Except for signs incidental to the operation of the hotel, and
any other advertising signs that Declarant elects to post in connection with the
development of the hotel, no signs are permitted on the exterior of any Unit or
any other portion of the hotel without the prior written approval of the Board
of Directors.
ix. No owner may remove, replace, substitute, alter, repair or add
to any part of the hotel (including the owner's Unit) or any of the furniture,
fixtures or equipment located in and around the hotel (including in any Unit)
without the prior written approval of the Association and, if required,
architects and engineers.

DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS
During the period of Declarant control, the Declarant retains certain
development rights that enable the Declarant to do, among other things, the
following:
(1) add real property to the hotel;
(2) create Units, easements, common elements, or limited common
elements, including, without limitation, the right to enclose the
patio allocated to any Unit;
(3) subdivide Units, convert Units into common elements, or convert
common elements into Units;
(4) make the hotel part of a larger condominium or master planned
community; and
(5) amend the Declaration to correct errors or to comply with
applicable law provided that the amendment does not adversely
affect the rights of any owner and to comply with the rules and
requirements of certain governmental and quasi-governmental
agencies.
INSURANCE
The Association will be required to assure that property damage,
public liability, fire and other hazard insurance coverage with respect to the
hotel is maintained. The amount of such insurance will be based on full
replacement cost. In addition, the Association will be required to have
insurance against loss or liability due to property damage, personal injury or
death of persons while located at the hotel, which policy will have limits
determined by the Board of Directors, but in no event less than a combined
single limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence. The Association will also be required
to maintain worker's compensation insurance to the extent necessary to meet
applicable legal requirements, and director's and officer's liability insurance
in such amounts as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The Association
may maintain other insurance affording such coverages and with such limits as
the Board of Directors may determine. All insurance policies will name the
owners, the hotel operator and the Association as insureds.
The Association will also obtain fidelity blanket bonds for all
officers, directors, trustees, and employees of the Association. The amount of
the bonds maintained by the Association will be determined in the discretion of
the Board of Directors.
Each owner may personally have joint and several liability for tort
and contract claims as a result of ownership of Units or participation in the
rental pool. Although the Declarant believes that the insurance coverage
afforded owners will be adequate, purchasers of Units are urged to consult an
insurance advisor or attorney with respect to the nature and extent of such
personal liability and to determine what additional insurance coverage if any,
may be necessary or appropriate for their particular circumstances.
ENFORCEMENT OF THE DECLARATION
The Association will do all things necessary to enforce each owner's
obligations under the Declaration, including, without limitation, with respect
to non-payment of Assessments, the filing and foreclosure of liens, the
suspension of an owner's right to vote on Association matters, and the bringing
of an action at law against the owner personally. Furthermore, the Association
may direct the hotel operator to deduct the amount of unpaid Assessments from
any sum distributable to the owner under the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool
Agreement. All unpaid assessments will constitute a lien on a Unit superior to
all other liens except for tax and special assessment liens and unpaid sums
under a first mortgage or deed of trust.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE HOTEL
UP Sedona, incorporated in December 1996, has been formed solely to
design, develop, finance, construct and market the hotel. UP Sedona will finance
the construction of the hotel through third-party construction financing,
internally generated equity funds and loans from its parent corporation. At no
time will proceeds from the sale of Units be used to provide financing for the
construction of the hotel. Management of UP Sedona includes certain members of
management of United Properties and, together with certain other officers of
United Properties, will provide expertise in project development, finance,
marketing and administration. UP Sedona will fund the first year break-even cash
flow contributions from net proceeds of the offering.
PRIOR DEVELOPMENTS OF UNITED PROPERTIES.
United Properties was incorporated in 1975. United Properties is
currently one of the largest residential real estate developers in British
Columbia. It has also developed projects in the states of Washington, California
and Arizona. Since its incorporation, United Properties has developed
approximately 4,500 residential units including townhomes, apartment
condominiums (both high-rise and garden) and single family lot subdivisions.
United Properties's gross sales from completed projects in Canada to date are
approximately $590 million (Canadian). Gross sales of completed projects in the
United States are approximately $72 million (Canadian). Projects currently under
development in Canada include Terravita, an 88-unit townhome development, The
Balmoral, an 85-unit luxury high-rise condominium development, and Whistler Mont
Blanc, a 279 hotel condominium unit development with 38,300 square feet of
commercial space. Total gross sales from projects under development in Canada
are projected to be $129 million (Canadian).
Whistler Mont Blanc is the first hotel condominium project being
developed by United Properties. The construction of Whistler Mont Blanc, a Delta
Suites Hotel, is 50% complete. United Properties expects occupancy for the
commercial properties by July 1997 and commencement of operations of the hotel
by November 1997. The commercial properties are 60% leased. The commercial
properties also include plans for a spa and a nightclub to be operated by
independent parties. The residential condominium units are fully sold for an
aggregate of $44.5 million (Canadian). Delta Hotels Limited has entered into a
49
<PAGE>
Hotel Management and Rental Pool Agreement for the operation of the residential
condominium units as a Delta hotel.
DETERMINATION OF PURCHASE PRICE
The initial purchase price of the Units has been determined by UP
Sedona solely on the basis of its subjective evaluation of marketing
considerations. No independent valuations have been obtained for purposes of
determining the value of the Units. There can be no assurance that Units can be
resold at or in excess of the purchase price. No organized market for the
trading of Units is expected to develop as a result of this Offering.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Assuming that the maximum number of Units offered hereby are sold, the
gross proceeds from the sale of Units will be approximately $43.8 million
exclusive of Offering expenses (estimated at $____________, and sales
commissions of $_________). All of the net proceeds of this Offering will be
paid to UP Sedona except for amounts paid in addition to the purchase price for
closing costs that are payable to third parties and for the contribution to the
operating cash reserve for the hotel. UP Sedona will deliver the Units free and
clear of any and all liens.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Units are being offered on a best efforts basis by UP Sedona,
United Resort Investment Corp., an affiliated broker-dealer of UP Sedona, and by
broker-dealers selected by UP Sedona who are members of the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. The minimum subscription is one Unit. Broker-dealers
will receive a commission of up to ___% of the gross sales price of a Unit. UP
Sedona will not receive any sales commissions.
The closing on the sale of Units will not occur until the hotel is
completed and ready for operation (the "Initial Closing"). No minimum number of
Units must be sold before UP Sedona can close on the Units. Subsequent closings
will occur upon the sale of each Unit. The offering will terminate two years
from the effective date of this Prospectus.
UP Sedona and each broker-dealer participating in the offering have
agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities including liabilities
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and the Arizona Securities Act.
HOW TO PURCHASE
To purchase a Unit, a prospective owner must execute a purchase
contract in the form appearing in Annex D and agree to be bound to its terms and
the terms of the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement, the Condominium
Declaration and Association Bylaws. All purchasers are subject to the review,
approval and acceptance by UP Sedona, whose decision shall be final. Retirement
plans and individual retirement accounts may not purchase Units. Upon executing
a purchase contract, a downpayment must be paid of at least 10% of the purchase
price of the Unit acquired. An additional 5% of the purchase price shall be due
upon completion of framing of the hotel. An additional 5% of the purchase price
50
<PAGE>
shall be due upon completion of the roof of the hotel. Upon the close of the
purchase of a Unit, the owner will be required to pay the balance of the
purchase price and closing costs in excess of $7,500 for a one-bedroom or
executive Unit ($6,500 for a studio Unit) and to contribute an amount equal to
the percentage interest of the Unit being purchased multiplied by $250,000 to
the operating cash reserve of the hotel. (See Annex A for exact amounts.) Upon
payment of the balance of the purchase price, the escrow agent will record a
deed to the owner from UP Sedona and disburse the purchase proceeds to UP
Sedona, net of all closing costs. The escrow agent will also record the lien
securing any loan that an owner may obtain to finance the Unit. The hotel,
including all Units, must be completed within two years of the date the first
purchase contract is executed.
Funds deposited as downpayments will be held in an interest-bearing
escrow account for the benefit of purchasers until the Initial Closing. In the
event the hotel is not completed as a result of the default of UP Sedona, all
funds held in escrow, including interest, will be refunded. Amounts held in
escrow are non-refundable if the purchaser breaches the purchase contract.
Purchasers must meet a minimum suitability requirement of (i) $100,000
income for the past year and a $150,000 net worth, excluding home, furnishings
and automobiles or (ii) $250,000 net worth excluding home, furnishings and
automobiles. UP Sedona will have the right to waive such requirement in its sole
discretion if it determines that a purchaser is otherwise suitable for the
purchase of Units.
In addition to setting forth the purchase price of a Unit, terms of
payment, a financing contingency, and establishing the first year break-even
cash flow assurance for a prospective buyer, the purchase contract provides that
a prospective owner may cancel the contract if the hotel is not completed within
60 days after December 31, 1998; provides that a prospective owner may exercise
all rights and remedies if the hotel is not complete within 24 months following
the date the prospective owner executes the purchase contract; establishes an
escrow to facilitate conveyance of a Unit; and establishes a one year limited
construction warranty.
Purchasers may procure financing from any available source and will be
required to qualify for financing based on the requirements of the particular
lender. All financing costs in excess of the closing costs paid by the seller as
set forth above will be the obligation of individual purchasers who elect to
finance the purchase of a Unit. If a prospective owner is rejected for a loan,
either the prospective owner or UP Sedona may cancel the purchase contract.
CERTAIN FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX ASPECTS
Set forth below is a summary of the material federal income tax
considerations related to the offering, but does not address all tax
considerations that may apply to a particular owner. This summary of the tax
aspects is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
on existing Treasury Department regulations ("Regulations"), and on
administrative rulings and judicial decisions interpreting the Code. Legislative
amendments, administrative changes and judicial decisions could modify or change
completely statements and opinions expressed below about the federal income tax
consequences of the purchase of a Unit and participation in the rental pool.
Additionally, the interpretation of existing law and regulations described here
may be challenged by the Service during an audit of the rental pool's
information return or an owner's individual return. Moreover, a successful
challenge of the rental pool's information return would likely result in an
adjustment to an owner's individual return.
51
<PAGE>
The following summary of tax aspects generally assumes that the
investor is an individual and is a United States citizen or resident. The
following discussion is only a summary and is limited to those areas of federal
income tax law that are considered to be most important to individual investors
owning interests in rental pools. Although the hotel will furnish the owners
with such information regarding the hotel as is required for income tax
purposes, each owner will be responsible for preparing and filing his own tax
returns. Accordingly, prospective investors are urged to consult, and must
depend upon, their tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances
(especially if the prospective investor is not an individual) and the federal,
state, local and other tax consequences arising out of their participation as
owners.
Unless otherwise noted, the discussion in this section represents the
opinion of O'Connor, Cavanagh, Anderson, Killingsworth & Beshears, P.A.,
Phoenix, Arizona ("Counsel"), which is counsel for UP Sedona. Counsel's opinions
expressed in the following discussion are only opinions that the tax law results
described are more likely than not to be the tax law results that should occur,
subject to any conditions stated in the particular section of this discussion
that states such tax law conclusions. Although Counsel's opinions represent its
best judgment as of the date of this Prospectus and are based on legal
authorities published (and available in Phoenix, Arizona) as of that date, those
opinions do not bind the Service or in any way constitute an assurance that the
Service will agree with the federal income tax consequences described. Further,
no rulings have been requested from the IRS with respect to the matters
discussed in this section. UP Sedona does not intend to obtain any such rulings.
ENTITY CLASSIFICATION OF RENTAL POOL AND TAXATION OF OWNERSHIP OF UNITS
Under Section 301.7701-2 of the Regulations, an arrangement is
classified as an organization if there are (1) associates, and (2) an objective
to carry on business for joint profit. Pursuant to the provisions of the Rental
Pool Agreement, the hotel operator will rent the Unit of each owner on behalf of
such owner. Profits from the rental of Units will be shared proportionately by
the owners of the Units. Counsel believes that the sum of the relationships
created by the Rental Pool Agreement causes the owners to be associates.
Furthermore, Counsel believes that there is a common profit motive between the
owners because net profits are shared proportionately by the owners. Therefore,
although each owner will be the legal owner of a separate Unit, because of
provisions in the Rental Pool Agreement relating to the sharing of income and
expenses of the property, the owners likely will be treated as participants in
an association taxable as either a partnership or a corporation for federal
income tax purposes.
If, consistent with tax counsel's opinion, an association is created
by the sum of the contractual relationships between the owners of the Units, the
federal income tax consequences to the owner of a Unit will depend upon the
association's classification for federal income tax purposes. If the association
is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and is not a
"publicly traded partnership," it will not be subject to any federal income tax.
Instead, an owner will be subject to tax on his or her allocable share of the
partnership's income and gain, and may be entitled to claim his or her allocable
share of the partnership's losses. However, deduction of an owner's allocable
share of loss from a partnership is subject to many important limitations, some
of which are discussed below. A detailed explanation of such limitations is
beyond the scope of this general discussion. Prospective owners should consult,
and must depend on, their own tax advisor's advice concerning detailed
application of partnership tax rules to their specific tax situations.
52
<PAGE>
If the arrangement created by the Rental Pool Agreement is classified
as an association taxable as a corporation or as a "publicly traded
partnership," owners will be treated as shareholders of a corporation, and (1)
the taxable income of the organization will be subject to the federal income tax
imposed on corporations, (2) items of income, gain, loss and deduction will not
flow through to the owners to be accounted for on their individual federal
income tax returns, and (3) distributions, if any, will be treated as corporate
distributions to owners, some or all of which may be taxable as dividends.
CLASSIFICATION AS A PARTNERSHIP
In the opinion of Counsel, the rental pool and the arrangements for
sharing of rental income and payment of related rental pool expenses more likely
than not will be treated as an association taxable as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes. Moreover, the rental pool will elect to be taxed as a
partnership. A partnership incurs no federal income tax liability. Instead, each
partner is required to take into account an allocable share of the partnership's
net income or loss and an allocable share of certain specially characterized
items (e.g., capital gains and losses) in computing his income tax liability.
Distributions by a partnership to a partner generally are not taxable unless the
distributions exceed the partner's adjusted basis in his partner interest.
Owners in the rental pool for any year will be required to report on
their own federal income tax return their share of partnership income allocated
to them under the Rental Pool Agreement. The rental pool will file an annual
partnership information return, and each owner will be provided with the
information required for the preparation of such owner's respective federal
income tax return.
The discussion that follows is based upon the assumption that the
owners will be treated as the owners for tax purposes of their Unit and their
undivided share of the hotel common areas and that the rental pool will be
classified as a partnership and not as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes. Owners will be considered partners who have contributed the use of a
Unit, not its ownership, to the rental pool, so that each participating owner
will report separately items of expense or deduction relating to the ownership
of a Unit, including interest and depreciation subject to the limitations
described below.
TAX CONSEQUENCES OF RENTAL POOL TO OWNERS
1. GENERAL.
No federal income tax is paid by a partnership as an entity. Instead,
each partner is required to report on his income tax return his distributive
share of a partnership's income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (and items of
tax preference), regardless of whether any actual distribution is made to that
partner during his taxable year. Consequently, a partner's share of the
partnership's taxable income may exceed the cash, if any, actually distributed
to that partner. Conversely, actual (or constructive) distributions of money
from a partnership will be taxable only to the extent that such distributions
exceed the adjusted basis of the partner's interest in the partnership,
regardless of whether the partnership has current income. The characterization
of an item of income or loss generally will be the same for the partners as it
is for the partnership.
53
<PAGE>
The rental pool's items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit
will be allocated proportionately between the owners. Each owner will be
required to report his allocable share of rental pool income on his individual
return. In addition, to the extent UP Sedona contributes cash to the rental pool
to ensure a break even cash flow after an implied debt service for the first
year of operations, such cash will be treated as income by the rental pool (as
UP Sedona is not a partner) and each owner will be required to report his
allocable share of such income on his individual return.
The extent to which an owner may deduct his or her distributive share
of the rental pool's expenses will depend upon: (1) whether the rental activity
engaged in is with the intent of making a profit (Section 183); (2) whether the
Unit constitutes a "dwelling unit" (Section 280A); (3) whether the rental
activity is a "passive activity" (Section 469); (4) whether the taxpayer is "at
risk" with respect to the activity (Section 465); and (5) the limitations on
interest deductions. Additional provisions of the Code may also limit a specific
taxpayer's deductions. Moreover, to the extent that an owner's share of rental
pool losses exceeds the basis of his Unit, such excess losses cannot be utilized
in that year by that owner for any purpose, but are allowed as a deduction
(subject to the limitations described above) when that owner's adjusted basis
for his Units at the end of any year exceeds zero (before reduction by the
suspended loss).
2. SECTION 183
Section 183 of the Code provides that, in the case of an activity
engaged in by an individual or an S corporation, certain deductions attributable
to such activity will be limited to the gross income generated by such activity
if the activity is not engaged in for profit. Losses disallowed under Section
183 are not merely suspended but are permanently denied. The Regulations under
Section 183 provide a three-tier system of permitted deductions up to a maximum
of the gross income from the activity. The Regulations also provide rules for
allocation of expenses to the specific tiers.
Section 1.183-2 of the Regulations provides that all facts and
circumstances are to be taken into account and no one factor or combination of
factors is determinative. The Regulations list nine factors that will generally
be considered, but caution that other factors may also be relevant. Because the
presence or absence of a profit objective is in part a factual issue which
depends upon the individual circumstances of each owner, it is impossible to
presently predict, and impossible for Counsel to opine, with accuracy whether a
particular owner will be able to establish that he or she has a profit
objective.
Section 183 creates a presumption in favor of the determination that
the activity is engaged in for profit if a profit (without regard to operating
loss carry forwards) is realized in three out of five consecutive years. To
allow the presumption to work, an owner is given an election to postpone the
determination of whether the presumption applies until the end of the fourth
taxable year following the taxable year in which he first purchased his Unit and
engaged in rental activity. An owner should make an election as prescribed in
the Regulations to preserve the ability to take advantage of this presumption
and the delay in determining its application. An owner should note that UP
Sedona makes no assurances or representations concerning whether an owner can
expect a profit from the rental pool within four years, however, it believes
that the rental pool will more likely than not be considered an activity engaged
in for profit.
54
<PAGE>
3. SECTION 280A
The Section 280A home business expense disallowance rule applies to
any "dwelling unit" used by the taxpayer as a residence. Taxpayers include
individuals, partnerships, trusts, estates, and S corporations. Section 280A
does not apply to a regular corporation, except in its capacity as a member of a
partnership or S corporation or as a beneficiary of a trust or estate. A
"dwelling unit" includes a house, apartment, condominium, mobile home, boat or
other similar property that provides basic living accommodations. The
Regulations provide an objective standard for determining whether a taxpayer's
use of a dwelling unit causes it to be considered a residence. The Code and
Regulations impose a gross income limitation upon deductions for any owner whose
Unit is used by the owner for personal use for a number of days during a taxable
year which exceeds the greater of (i) 14 days, or (ii) 10% of the number of days
during the year for which the Unit is rented for fair value. Personal use
includes use by the taxpayer, use by the taxpayer's family, use by an individual
pursuant to a reciprocal arrangement that permits the taxpayer use of another
unit, days on which the unit is rented for less than fair rental, use by other
owners in a time sharing arrangement or use by the taxpayer of other units in a
rental pool, and use of the unit as a result of a charitable donation by the
taxpayer. Depending on the extent of an owner's use of his Unit, the Section
280A gross income limitation may limit an owner's use of the available
deductions from the rental pool to such owner's share of rental pool income.
Section 280A also establishes an expense allocation fraction to be
used in apportioning deductions between personal and business use of a property
to which Section 280A applies. The expense allocation formula permits deduction
of the fraction of expenses associated with the property (other than those
expenses that are otherwise deductible even if a property is used for personal
use such as mortgage interest and real estate taxes) of which the numerator is
the days the property is actually used for business and the denominator of which
is the total of the days the property is actually used (either for business or
personal use). With respect to time sharing arrangements, all owners usage is
aggregated in determining the numerator and denominator of the fraction. This
allocation formula applies if a property is used for personal use for even one
day. If a Unit is a dwelling unit, it is possible that Units held by other
owners could be aggregated with the Unit held by a particular owner, with the
result that even an owner that never used an Unit for personal purposes could,
nevertheless, have otherwise deductible expenses reduced pursuant to Section
280A. Because a Unit will more likely than not be considered a dwelling unit, it
is Counsel's opinion that the expense allocation fraction will apply to the
rental of the Unit. Based upon the expense allocation requirement, an owner will
be able to deduct expenses (other than mortgage interest and real estate taxes)
and depreciation attributable to the rental pool only to the extent allocable to
business use and then only to the extent that the income from the rental pool
exceeds the portion of real estate taxes and mortgage interest allocable to
business use.
4. INCOME AND LOSSES FROM PASSIVE ACTIVITIES.
The Code characterizes certain activities as producing either passive
or portfolio income and loss. Deductions of passive activity losses incurred by
an individual, estate, trust, or personal service corporation or, with
modifications, certain closely held corporations, may not be used to offset
non-passive activity income. In general, passive activity losses can be used
only to offset passive income, not wages or portfolio income (such as dividends,
interest, annuities and royalties).
55
<PAGE>
In general, a passive activity, is one which: (1) is a trade or
business activity in which the taxpayer does not materially participate; or (2)
is a rental activity. In the opinion of Counsel, it is very unlikely that an
owner will be treated as materially participating in the rental pool because,
under the terms of the Pooling Agreement, sole authority for the management and
operation of the hotel resides in the hotel operator.
Investments in rental activities generally produce passive income and
loss. Rental activities are treated as passive without regard to whether they
involve the conduct of trade or business or whether the taxpayer materially
participates. The Regulations provide that where the actual or prospective
customer's payments are principally for the use of tangible property, the
activity is a rental activity, even if payments are made pursuant to a service
contract or other arrangement that is not denominated as a lease. There are
several exceptions provided by the Regulations to treatment as a rental
activity, however, Counsel does not believe that any of the exceptions apply to
the rental pool. Therefore, it is Counsel's opinion that income from the rental
pool will be passive income.
To the extent that an owner has passive losses from other activities,
he should be able to offset those passive losses against his allocable share of
the rental pool's income and profits. Losses and credits disallowed by the
passive activity rules are suspended and may be carried forward and treated as
losses and credits from passive activities in each successive taxable year until
offset by income from passive activities or allowed against other income as a
result of the complete disposition of the taxpayer's interest in that activity.
When a taxpayer's entire interest in an activity is disposed of in a taxable
transaction (other than to a related party), any remaining suspended loss
incurred in connection with that specific activity is allowed in full, first
against income or gain from such activity during the year of disposition, second
against net income or gain from all other passive activities, and thereafter
against income from all sources, including active income. A disposition can
occur through a partner's disposition of his entire partnership interest.
5. APPLICATION OF AT-RISK LIMITATIONS.
Generally, Code section 465 limits losses that a taxpayer can claim in
real estate and other enumerated activities to the amount that the taxpayer has
at risk with respect to such activities. Losses that are disallowed in any year
because of the at-risk limitations are carried over to succeeding years and can
be used in those years to the extent that the partner's at-risk amount has
increased. A taxpayer is considered at risk in any activity with respect to (i)
the net amount of money and the adjusted basis of property contributed by the
taxpayer to the activity, (ii) any amount with respect to the activity if the
taxpayer is considered personally liable for the repayment of that amount, and
(iii) the taxpayer's proportionate share of any amount borrowed with respect to
the activity if the lender is an institutional lender and the loan is secured by
real property used in the activity ("qualified nonrecourse financing"). A
taxpayer is not considered to be "at risk" to the extent he or she is protected
against loss through nonrecourse financing, guarantees, stop loss agreements or
similar agreements. A taxpayer's at-risk amount is increased by profits earned
in the activity and decreased by losses occurring in the activity. In
determining the amount of loss, if any, disallowed under Section 465, Sections
183 and 280A are applied prior to the application of Section 465, and Section
469 is applied after any limitation under Section 465 is determined.

6. LIMITATION ON INTEREST DEDUCTIONS.
The deductibility of any interest expense incurred by an owner in
purchasing a Unit may be limited by the Code. Generally, investment interest may
be deducted to the extent of a taxpayer's net investment income. Investment
interest expense does not include any interest expense which is taken into
account in determining the income or loss from a passive activity, but does
include (i) interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry
property held for investment, (ii) a partnership's interest expense attributable
to portfolio income under the passive loss rules, and (iii) the portion of
interest expense incurred or continued to purchase or carry an interest in a
passive activity to the extent attributable to portfolio income (within the
meaning of the passive loss rules). Net investment income includes gross income
from property held for investment, gain attributable to the disposition of
property held for investment, and amounts treated as gross portfolio income
pursuant to the passive loss rules less deductible expenses (other than
interest) directly connected with the production of investment income.
Investment interest deductions which are disallowed may be carried forward and
deducted in subsequent years to the extent of net investment income in such
years.
In addition, interest expense associated with the purchase and finance
of a Unit may qualify as qualified residence interest if an owner's personal use
of a Unit exceeds 14 days in any year, the Unit is treated as the owner's second
residence, and the loan is secured by the Unit.
Owners who intend to finance the purchase of their Units with borrowed
funds should consult their own tax advisors before borrowing such funds and
should maintain careful records of any debt they incur to carry or acquire their
Units, because the interest on such debt may be investment interest to the
extent the rental pool does not engage in a passive activity or to the extent of
any portfolio income received from the rental pool.
7. DEPRECIATION/AMORTIZATION
Each owner of a Unit used for rental purposes will separately
determine the applicable allowance for depreciation with respect to such Unit
and any tangible personal property associated with such Unit for any year,
subject to the limitations described above. Section 179 of the Code allows a
taxpayer (other than trusts, estates and certain noncorporate lessors) to
expense certain depreciable business assets in the year of acquisition by
electing to treat the cost of new property as an expense rather than as a
capital expenditure subject to depreciation. The deductions for which the
election are made are allowed for the tax year in which the Section 179 property
is placed in service and are in lieu of a depreciation deduction. Generally, a
taxpayer may elect to expense only tangible personal property under Section 179.
Depreciation deductions available to an owner may not exceed the
taxable income allocation to an owner from the rental pool. Therefore, an owner
should be prepared to pay tax on all or a portion of the income allocated to
such owner from the rental pool. Each owner should consult with his tax advisor
to determine the availability of depreciation deductions based upon unit
ownership.
57
<PAGE>
8. SALE OF A UNIT.
If a Unit is held solely for business purposes for more than one year
by an owner who is not a dealer with respect to such Unit, gain or loss realized
on the sale of such Unit generally will be considered gain or loss from the sale
of a Section 1231 asset and will be so taken into account in computing the
taxpayer's net Section 1231 gain or loss for the taxable year. A net Section
1231 gain generally is treated as a long-term capital gain, while a net Section
1231 loss is treated as an ordinary loss. If any such gain on the sale of a Unit
represents recapture of depreciation of personal property, that portion of the
gain will be taxable as ordinary income.
No loss will be allowed in connection with the sale of a Unit held for
personal use. Any gain realized on the sale of a Unit held for personal use will
be a long-term or a short-term capital gain, depending upon whether the Unit was
held for more than one year. If a Unit is held partly for personal use and
partly for business use, an apportionment of the gain or loss will be required
and each portion will be reported in accordance with the principles stated
above.
To the extent that distributions from the rental pool represent a
return of capital, rather than a distribution of operating proceeds, such
distributions will reduce an owner's basis in his Unit. Upon a subsequent sale
of the Unit, the owner could therefore recognize a greater taxable gain based
upon such reduced basis.
In the event of an owner's sale or other transfer of a Unit, the
distributive share of rental pool income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for
the entire year allocable to such Unit generally will be allocated between the
transferor and the transferee, based upon the period of time during the taxable
year that each owned such Unit, notwithstanding the timing or amounts of any
rental pool distributions.
ADMINISTRATIVE AND COMPLIANCE MATTERS
1. AUDIT RISK.
The Service has adopted a policy of auditing, selectively, a large
number of partnership information returns. In view of the Service's audit
programs, the rental pool's information return may be selected for audit. If the
Service audits and adjusts the rental pool's information return, it is likely
that the Service will make corresponding adjustments to the owners' income tax
returns. It is also more likely that the owners' returns also will be audited.
It is not expected that the rental pool will make cash distributions to owners
to assist them in paying a tax liability resulting therefrom.
2. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES INVOLVING RENTAL POOL ITEMS.
The rental pool will be treated as a separate entity for purposes of
federal tax audits, judicial review of administrative adjustments by the Service
and tax settlement proceedings. The tax treatment of partnership items of
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit are determined at the partnership level
in a unified partnership proceeding rather than in separate proceedings with the
partners. The Code provides for one partner to be designated as the "Tax Matters
Partner" for these purposes. The Board of Directors shall be responsible for
selecting the Tax Matters Partner for the rental pool.
58
<PAGE>
The Tax Matters Partner is entitled to make certain elections on
behalf of the rental pool and owners and can extend the statute of limitations
for assessment of tax deficiencies against owners with respect to rental pool
items. The Tax Matters Partner may bind to a settlement with the Service any
owners with less than a one percent profits interest in the rental pool unless
the owners elect, by filing a statement with the Secretary of the Treasury, not
to give such authority to the Tax Matters Partner. The Tax Matters Partner may
seek judicial review (to which all the owners are bound) of a final rental pool
administrative adjustment and, if the Tax Matters Partner fails to seek judicial
review, such review may be sought by any owners having in the aggregate at least
a 5 percent profits interest. Only one action for judicial review will go
forward, however, and owners with an interest in the outcome may participate.
The owners generally will be required to treat rental pool items on
their personal federal income tax returns consistent with the treatment of the
items on the rental pool's information return. In general, this consistency
requirement is waived if an owner files a statement with the Service identifying
the inconsistency. Failure to satisfy the consistency requirement, if not
waived, will result in an adjustment to conform the owner's treatment of the
item with his treatment on the rental pool's information return. Even if the
consistency requirement is waived, adjustments to an owner's tax liability with
respect to rental pool items may result from an audit of the rental pool's or
the owner's tax return. Intentional or negligent disregard of the consistency
requirement may subject an owner to substantial penalties.
POSSIBLE CHANGES IN FEDERAL TAX LAWS
The Code is subject to change by Congress, and interpretations of the
Code may be modified or affected by judicial decisions, by the Treasury
Department through changes in Regulations and by the Service through its audit
policy, announcements, and published and private rulings. Such changes may be
retroactive. Accordingly, the ultimate effect on an owner's tax situation may be
governed by laws, regulations or interpretations of laws or regulations which
have not yet been proposed, passed or made, as the case may be. Although
significant changes historically have been given prospective application, no
assurance can be given that any changes made in the tax law affecting an
investment in the rental pool would be limited to prospective effect.
INVESTMENT BY FOREIGN PERSONS
The rules governing the federal income taxation of nonresident alien
individuals, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships, and other foreign
investors ("foreign persons") are complex, and no attempt has been made herein
to discuss such rules. Potential investors that are foreign persons should
consult with their tax advisors to fully determine the impact on them of United
States federal, state and local income tax laws.
It should be noted, however, that there is imposed a withholding
requirement on dispositions of a United States real property interest ("USRPI"),
which includes United States real estate and interests in entities, such as
partnerships, holding United States real estate. Therefore, disposition of the
Property or disposition of a Unit will give rise to a withholding requirement.
59
<PAGE>
CORPORATE INVESTORS
Section 183 does not apply to corporate owners. Section 280A does not
apply to corporations that are not electing S corporations. Section 469 applies
only to certain closely held C corporations and personal service corporations.
However, deduction of expenses associated with the acquisition and ownership of
a Unit by a corporation may be disallowed or restricted under other Code
sections. Corporations that purchase Units should consult their own tax advisor
regarding the application of Section 274 of the Code, which prohibits the
deduction of certain expenses incurred with respect to facilities used for
entertainment, amusement or recreation. There are numerous issues involved in
corporate ownership, and corporations should obtain tax advice from their own
counsel before purchasing a Unit.
STATE AND LOCAL TAXES
The rental pool's activities will be carried on within the state of
Arizona and the rental pool will be considered to be domiciled in the state of
Arizona. Arizona imposes an income tax with respect to all income, regardless of
source, of Arizona residents and the income derived from Arizona sources earned
by a nonresident. Arizona income tax law generally conforms to federal income
tax law in matters material to an investment in the rental pool.
Owners who are not Arizona residents may be subject to taxation by
their state of residence as well as Arizona with respect to income derived from
the rental pool. Depending upon applicable state and local laws, Arizona
nonresidents may find that some deductions that are available to the owners for
federal income tax purposes may not be available for state or local income tax
purposes. Furthermore, the tax treatment of particular items under other state
or local income tax laws may vary materially from federal income tax treatment.
In addition, owners may be subject to income, gift, estate or inheritance taxes
in the state or locality of their residence or domicile, as well as in the state
of Arizona. Prospective owners are urged to consult their tax advisors
concerning those matters.
LEGAL MATTERS
O'Connor, Cavanagh, Anderson, Killingsworth & Beshears, P.A., Phoenix,
Arizona, has passed on certain tax matters as described under "Certain Federal
and State Income Tax Aspects." Prospective owners should not consider O'Connor,
Cavanagh, Anderson, Killingsworth & Beshears, P.A. to be their legal counsel
with respect to this Offering or any other related matter and are strongly
encouraged to seek the advice of qualified and independent legal counsel with
respect to entering any of the agreements or contracts contemplated by this
Offering and any other related matters, including the tax implications of the
purchase of a Unit.

owner's usage.
(2) Operating expenses include the estimated departmental,
undistributed and fixed expenses to manage the hotel. Expenses
also include property taxes and association expenses which will
be paid at the investor level. Expenses are allocated based on
the proportion that an individual initial purchase price of a
unit relates to the total initial purchase prices of all units.
(3) Reserve for replacement is zero in the first year and will be 2%
of gross revenue in year two, increasing 1% each year until year
five, at which point it will stabilize at 5% and remain 5%
thereafter. This reserve for replacement is established for the
replacement of capital items.
(4) During the first year of operations, UP Sedona, Inc., will
ensure, regardless of the actual net operating income, a break
even cash flow for the investor based on the implied debt service
as described below. The cash flow provided by UP Sedona, Inc.,
during the first year of operations, will not vary based on the
amount financed by each individual investor.
(5) Debt service assumes a 5 year adjustable rate mortgage of 75% of
the purchase price ($149,325), bearing an 8% interest rate with a
30 year amortization. The terms of this financing are based on
mortgage availability from a variety of Arizona lenders for
qualified individuals purchasing an investment property.
Qualified individuals would more than likely include those
individuals who meet the investor suitability standards. The
terms of this financing have been assumed for the purpose of
calculating the implied debt service with regard to UP Sedona,
Inc.'s commitment to provide a breakeven cash flow for the first
year of operations. The same terms have been assumed for the
subsequent four years for illustrative purposes only. Interest
rates vary from lender to lender based on the borrower's
financial strength. No specific interest rate can, therefore, be
assured.

Notes: (1) Revenues are allocated to owners in the proportion that an
individual initial purchase price of a unit relates to the total
initial purchase prices of all units, as adjusted for an owner's
individual usage. This forecast assumes fourteen days of personal
usage.
(2) It is assumed that the personal usage takes place when the room
would otherwise have been unoccupied and that personal occupancy
occurs evenly throughout the year. Based on this assumption, the
reduction of gross revenue due to an owner's usage has been
calculated by dividing gross revenue by 365 days and multiplying
by the fourteen days of an owner's usage.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT FORECAST
ASSUMPTIONS
These financial forecasts present, to the best of management's
knowledge and belief, the hotel's expected annual operating
results for the operating years ending December 31, 1999 through
2003. Accordingly, the forecasts reflect its judgment as of
February 6, 1997, the date of these forecasts, of the expected
conditions and these expected courses of action. The assumptions
disclosed herein are those that management believes are
significant to the forecasts. There will usually be differences
between the forecasted and actual results, because events and
circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and those
differences may be material.
The securities prospectus, dated _____________, should be reviewed
for a more detailed explanation of the investment and its related
risk factors.
1. Description of the project and analysis of sources of forecasted
information:
UP Sedona, Inc. owns a parcel of land in Sedona, Arizona for the
purpose of developing a hotel which will be subdivided into
condominium units. UP Sedona, Inc. plans to market 171 one
bedroom units, 48 studio units and 6 Executive Suites to
individual investors. Concurrent with the purchase of the units,
the unit owners will enter into a hotel and operating rental pool
agreement (see Note 5). Unit owners will be subject to income
taxes at an individual level on their allocated share of income
or loss, as forecasted on pages 3 through 6, less any other
deductions, such as interest and depreciation.
Management of UP Sedona, Inc. has evaluated numerous sources of
information and believes they have identified all material
sources of information available that are relevant to this
forecast to support assumptions for revenues and expenses in this
forecast. These sources include, but are not limited to, industry
publications, operating data for the geographic location and
certain mandatory facility requirements based on architectural
renderings, cost analysis, site surveys, traffic studies, zoning
studies and real estate consultation. In addition, certain
facilities contracts are being negotiated, as more fully
described in the following notes. Management has analyzed this
information for consistency and completeness in developing this
forecast.
2. Summary of significant forecast assumptions:
+ The property will be developed as a destination resort hotel with full
amenity packages as described in footnote 4
+ The anticipated opening date for the hotel is January 1, 1999
+ The number of rooms available in the rental pool are 171 one bedroom
units, 48 studio units and 6 Executive Suites.

2. Summary of significant forecast assumptions, continued:
+ The anticipated occupancy and average daily room rates as shown on
page 2 are more fully discussed in footnote 5
+ Qualified, competent, and efficient management personnel will be
operating the facility as discussed in footnote 6
+ A golf facilities agreement has been signed with Sedona Golf Resort as
described in footnote 4
+ A health club agreement has been signed with Ridge Spa and Racquet
Club as described in footnote 4
+ The forecasts presented on pages 2 through 6 assume inflation rates
varying from 3% to 3.5% per annum
+ At a minimum, two hundred rooms must be completed prior to the hotel
opening
+ At the time of closing, UP Sedona, Inc. will retain ownership of any
unsold units and will share in the rental pool operations
proportionately. UP Sedona, Inc. will continue to market any unsold
units.
3. Basis of presentation:
The forecasted presentation of net operating income before certain fixed
charges (NOI) has been presented using the accrual basis of accounting.
NOI as presented on page 2 includes an expense for property taxes and
association expenses that will be assessed and remitted at the
individual investor level.
The operating reserve established concurrently with the purchase of the
units will be used to stabilize cash flow for operations and investor
distribution purposes. Due to the establishment of this reserve, no
adjustments have been made for any differences between the accrual
basis NOI and the net distributable cash flow, except for the reserve
for replacements.

Meeting Rooms:
+ The hotel will provide a total of 10,000 square feet of meeting space
(approximately 45 square feet per guest room) including a 5,000 square
foot ballroom
+ A variety of breakout meeting rooms, adequate pre-function storage and

5. Occupancy rate percentages and average daily room rates:
The extensive development of the hotel facilities, the hiring of an
experienced management group and the amenities available, including
agreements with the Sedona Golf Resort and Ridge Spa and Racquet Club,
are anticipated to allow the hotel to competitively participate in the
destination resort hotel marketplace in Sedona, Arizona. The target
market will be both individual leisure travelers and the corporate
group market. The forecast contemplates fluctuating occupancy levels
and average daily rates in the first four operating years during which
time the hotel will be establishing its niche in the market place and
stabilizing in the fifth operating year. In addition, operations will
incur higher costs in the start-up phase. Anticipated occupancy rates
and average daily room rates for the forecast period are described
below as follows:
Years ending Occupancy rate Average daily
December 31, percentages room rates
------------ ----------- ----------
1999 59% $155
2000 67 168
2001 72 177
2002 74 182
2003 75 188
6. Hotel and Operating Rental Pool Agreement:
Upon purchasing a one bedroom or studio condominium unit, each owner will
be required to sign a ten year agreement with Delta Hotels
International, Inc. (Delta). Delta will be engaged to act as the
owner's exclusive manager for the operation of the hotel. Delta will
prepare, on a monthly basis, calculations of unit revenue based upon
the days each unit qualifies to be included in the rental pool, in
addition to various other financial reports. Operating expenses and the
cost of maintaining the units will be shared by all of the owners based
upon their allocated percentage shares determined at the time each unit
is originally acquired. Certain minimum insurance requirements will be
maintained by Delta at the expense of the owners.
Delta will establish on behalf of the owners, a reserve for capital
expenditures and for the replacement of furniture, fixtures and
equipment. The reserve for replacement will be zero in the first year
and will be 2% of gross revenues in year two, increasing 1% each year
until year five, at which point it will stabilize at 5% and remain 5%
thereafter.

6. Hotel and Operating Rental Pool Agreement, continued:
UP Sedona, Inc. will fund any cash flow shortfalls (based on the implied
debt service included on pages 3 through 6) during the first year of
the hotel's operations. After the first year, cash flow shortfalls may
result in assessments to the owners by the condominium association (see
Note 7). The forecasts as outlined in pages 2 through 6 do not assume
any requirement for any additional assessment, although one may be
required. The cash return to the investor will be lower if additional
assessments are required.
An operating cash reserve for working capital purposes in connection with
the operation of the hotel will be funded by the owners at the time of
closing of the owner's purchase of the unit. The estimated reserve to
be collected from each owner is approximately .571% of the initial
purchase price. The operating fund will be managed by Delta.
Distributions will be made monthly to investors by Delta based upon
eighty-percent (80%) of anticipated net distributable cash flow for the
year, multiplied by the individual investor's allocable share. The
balance of the net distributable cash flow will be distributed no later
than seventy five days after the operating year end. Delta will also
prepare final year-end reports for purposes of filing individual income
tax returns.
Base management fees paid to Delta will be $120,000 for year one and three
percent of total revenue for subsequent years.
In addition, an incentive management fee will be paid to Delta when net
distributable cash flow, excluding the management incentive, reaches
$3,200,000. The incentive fees will be calculated for the next five
years, based on the appropriate percentage applied to the net
distributable cash flow, excluding association expenses, in excess of
the base levels as indicated below:
Years ending December 31,
1999 2000 2001- 2003
---- ---- ----------
Net distributable cash flow,
excluding association expenses:
Less than $3.2 Million 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%

owners of the hotel condominium units once seventy five percent (75%)
of the units have been sold. The Association, through its Board of
Directors, will be responsible for interfacing with Delta. Association

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies:
The Company was formally organized as an Arizona corporation in December,
1996 to acquire and develop real estate for future sale. The Company
acquired a parcel of land in Sedona, Arizona in December, 1996 and
intends to develop a resort hotel to be known as Sedona Golf Resort and
Conference Center which will be subdivided into condominium units. As
part of the sales transaction, each condominium purchaser will enter
into a hotel operating and rental pool agreement with the hotel
operator. The Company has incurred certain project development costs,
but has not yet commenced construction or its marketing campaign.
Real estate under development:
Real estate under development is stated at cost which is not in excess of
net realizable value, and includes direct costs of land, land
development, construction and all other costs relative to the
development and sale of the project.
Organization costs:
Organization costs consist of legal fees which will be amortized on a
straight-line basis over five years.
Deferred placement costs:
Deferred placement costs consist of legal and other fees incurred in the
preparation of a securities prospectus. These costs have been deferred
as of December 31, 1996 and will be charged against future sales of
the condominium units.
Financial instruments:
The fair value of the Company's financial instruments, approximates their
carrying value. In addition, based on the borrowing rates currently
available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average
maturities, the fair value of the note payable approximates carrying
value after imputing interest as discussed in Note 3.
Accounting estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

after a change in the Sample Properties, upon an appropriate

then, such matter shall be resolved by arbitration in the manner
described in this SECTION 2.6. All arbitrators appointed pursuant to
this SECTION 2.6 shall be hospitality industry experts selected from

agree, within 30 days after the event giving rise to the arbitration,

authority of the arbitrators shall be limited to determining the
Minimum Average Revpar or the Sample Properties, as the case may be.

(1) Commencing in 2008, the Profitability Test shall be deemed to not have
been met if, in any two consecutive Operating Years beginning on or

Return is less than the following (the "Minimum Return"):
2007 and 2008 $3,625,000
2009 and thereafter $3,750,000
(2) For any Operating Year in which the Hotel is rendered totally or
partially inoperative or in which Net Hotel Return is otherwise
materially adversely affected by reason of force majeure including,
without limitation, strike, fire, flood, pestilence, war, civil
strife, embargo, act of God or other circumstance or market condition
beyond the reasonable control of Delta, or, if the size of the Hotel
shall be reduced by reason of partial destruction or governmental
taking, the Minimum Return described in SECTION 2.7(1) shall be
reduced proportionately to reflect the effect of the foregoing
enumerated circumstances.
2.8 TOPPING UP BY DELTA. Notwithstanding the provisions of SECTION 2.5:
(1) If the Owners or the Board of Directors have given a notice of
termination in accordance with SECTION 2.5, within 60 days after
receipt by Delta of such notice, Delta will have the right, but not
the obligation, to pay to the Owners the difference between the actual
Net Hotel Return and the Minimum Return for each of the two years in
which the failure occurred. If Delta does not elect to cure, and the
Owners give Delta a notice of termination as provided in SECTION 2.5,
Delta may, within 10 days after receipt of the notice of termination,
give the Owners written notice of Delta's election to arbitrate such
dispute in the following manner. All arbitrators appointed pursuant to
this SECTION 2.8 shall be hospitality industry experts selected by the
Owners and Delta from the membership of the ISHC. If, within 30 days
after Delta's notice of election to arbitrate, the Owners and Delta
are unable to agree upon the selection of a single arbitrator Delta
and the Owners shall each select one arbitrator to arbitrate the
dispute. If the two arbitrators selected by the Owners and Delta are
unable to agree upon a resolution of the dispute, a third arbitrator
shall be selected by the Chairman of the ISHC for that purpose. The
authority of the arbitrators shall be limited to determining whether
the cause of the failure to meet the performance tests described in
this SECTION 2.8 was attributable to factors beyond the reasonable
control of Delta. Unless the arbitrators determine that the failure to
meet the performance test was primarily attributable to factors beyond
the reasonable control of Delta, the Owners' notice of termination
shall be effective. Fees associated with the arbitration shall be
borne equally unless otherwise determined by the arbitrators,
provided, however, that each party shall be responsible for its
attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the arbitration.

will be entitled to share in the Gross Revenue from the Hotel Premises
and the operation of the Hotel earned on such day, as calculated by
multiplying the Gross Revenue earned on such day by the fraction which
has as its numerator the Percentage Interest of such Unit and as its

(2) each Owner of a Unit will be responsible for the payment of all Hotel
Expenses, Capital Expenditures exceeding the FF&E Reserve, capital
lease payments and Incentive Fees payable for all days (whether or not

SECTION 10.6 and Delta, acting reasonably, determines that the Unit is In the
Rental Pool).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Delta may at any time, in consultation with the
Board of Directors, prepare a reasonable estimate of the annual Unit Revenue
Share payable to each of the Owners pursuant to this SECTION 6.4 and distribute
to the Owners concurrently with the mailing of the monthly statements the amount
of such estimate, less a percentage (not to exceed 20%) established by Delta for
seasonal working capital requirements in 12 equal monthly payments, in which
case at the end of such Operating Year Delta will calculate or cause to be
calculated the actual Unit Revenue Share payable to each of the Owners in
accordance with this Agreement and include such calculation in the Annual

Owner the balance of his or her Unit Revenue Share payable for such Operating
Year.
6.5 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF UNITS. Delta will, for and on behalf of the
Owners, keep the Units in substantially the same condition they were in as of

and Equipment in substantially the same condition, quality and scope they were

hereby authorize Delta to use the FF&E Reserve only for such purposes. Delta
will be under no obligation to use its own funds for such purpose. The Owners

the Units collectively and not for each individual Unit separately and that the
cost of maintaining and replacing the Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment will be

based on Percentage Interests. The FF&E Reserve, at all times during the Term
and after termination or expiry of this Agreement, shall remain the property of
the Owners.
6.7 OPERATING CASH RESERVE. A reserve in the amount of $250,000 will be
established for and on behalf of the Owners, for use by Delta on behalf of the
Owners, as working capital in connection with the operation of the Hotel. The
Operating Cash Reserve will be initially established with funds paid by each
Owner at the time of settlement of the Owner's purchase of its Unit. If, 12
months after the Commencement Date, there have not been a sufficient number of
purchases of Units to fund the Operating Cash Reserve in the amount of $250,000,
Sponsor shall contribute such amounts as are necessary to fully fund the
Operating Cash Reserve. Sponsor shall be reimbursed for the amount so
contributed out of closing proceeds as and when remaining Units are purchased.
Commencing 12 months after the Commencement Date, Delta will at all times be
authorized to withhold each month from the Owners' Unit Revenue Shares
sufficient funds in order to keep the Operating Cash Reserve at such $250,000
level throughout the Term. The Operating Cash Reserve will be held in the Hotel
Bank Account and, commencing 12 months after the Commencement Date, Delta may

payment of Hotel Expenses, Capital Expenditures, capital lease payments and the
Incentive Fee to the extent that there are inadequate funds derived from the
operations of the Hotel to pay such amounts. The Operating Cash Reserve, at all
times during the Term and after termination or expiry of this Agreement, shall
remain the property of the Owners.
6.8 SHORTFALLS. If at any time the funds in the Hotel Bank Account are not
sufficient to pay when due any Hotel Expenses, Capital Expenditures in excess of
the FF&E Reserve, capital lease payments or Incentive Fees payable under this
Agreement, then:

will not be obligated to, pay any such amount out of its own funds, in
which case the Owners will repay such amount to Delta forthwith upon
demand and will pay interest on any amount outstanding at the rate
equal to the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum, calculated from the date of
advance by Delta until the date of repayment by the Owners and Delta
may deduct the amount of any such payment by Delta and interest
thereon from the Hotel Bank Account; or
21
<PAGE>
ANNEX B
(2) Delta may require the Owners to pay the amount of the shortfall
estimated by Delta, by mailing to the Owners a written notice setting
out such amount and each Owner's proportionate share thereof, as
calculated by multiplying the amount of such shortfall by the
Percentage Interest.
(3) Delta shall have all rights and remedies available at law or in equity
to enforce the payment of any shortfall by any Owner, and the

including enforcing any assessment lien and remitting the proceeds of
any such enforcement actions to Delta.

when due all taxes personal to the Owners in respect of such Owner's Unit,
including income taxes and capital gains taxes, and all amounts owing under any

purposes, Delta will, if requested by the Board of Directors, pay to the
Association for and on behalf of and in the name of each Owner, out of the Unit
Revenue Share payable to such Owner, the Owner's pro rata share of Assessments.
If any Owner's Unit Revenue Share is not sufficient to pay any such amount,

any shortfall and Delta will pay such amount or pay such amount directly, as

The earnest money shall be deposited with Escrow Agent and shall not be released

earnest money shall be paid to Seller pursuant to the provisions of paragraph
9(a) below.
4. FINANCING.
(a) If any part of the purchase price for the Property is to be paid
from the proceeds of a loan, within five (5) days following execution of this
Contract by Buyer, Buyer shall make application for and use its best efforts to
obtain a loan from a lender (to be approved in writing by Seller). Within three
(3) business days of being requested to do so, Buyer shall furnish all
information and truthfully and diligently make, execute and complete all
documents which any lender may request for the prompt loan processing and timely
funding. Buyer shall notify Seller within three (3) days from the date that any
loan applied for by Buyer is accepted, rejected or modified. If Buyer is
approved for a loan in an amount less than that applied for, the difference
shall be deposited by Buyer into escrow five (5) business days after
notification of the lender's approval for such lesser amount. If (i) Buyer is
rejected for a loan by any lender to whom Buyer has made a loan application, or
(ii) Buyer's loan application has not been approved within thirty (30) days from
the date of Seller's acceptance of this Contract, or (iii) loan approval is
subject to conditions that are unacceptable to Seller, Seller may cancel this
Contract, and if Buyer has fully complied in good faith with its obligations
under this Paragraph and has done nothing to delay or hinder loan approval,
Buyer may cancel this Contract, unless prior to such cancellation Buyer receives
written notice of loan approval and Seller approves same. In the event of such
cancellation, Seller shall refund to Buyer all sums received from Buyer pursuant
to this Contract.
(b) The interest rate and other loan terms for any loan applied for by
Buyer are matters of concern solely between Buyer and the lender and shall not
in any way affect the rights or obligations of the parties hereto. Seller has
not agreed to provide a loan to Buyer nor has Seller guaranteed the availability
of a loan or any particular loan terms. Seller shall not be responsible for the
representations, actions, or omissions made by any lender.
5. CONSTRUCTION AND COMPLETION.
(a) Seller shall cause the Project and the Unit to be constructed in
substantial conformance with the County-approved Plans subject to substitution
of materials, fixtures and appliances of equal or better quality and subject to
such changes in the Plans as may be required or approved by any state, federal,
county or local government authority. The final inspection and acceptance of the
Unit by Yavapai County shall constitute conclusive evidence that the Unit has
3
<PAGE>
ANNEX D
been constructed in substantial accordance with the Plans and that Seller's
construction obligations relative to the Unit have been fully satisfied, subject
to the limited warranty items described below. As the Unit will be subject to
the Rental Pool Agreement and the Project will be operated as a hotel, Buyer
understands that Buyer will not be involved in the selection of furnishings,
finishes or other design and/or decorative items relative to the Unit. Buyer
understands that the Project will be constructed by _______________________,
which is licensed as a contractor by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors,
license number __________________.
(b) If not already complete, Seller expects to complete construction
of the Project no later than December 31, 1998 (the "EXPECTED COMPLETION DATE"),
which may be extended by reason of delays caused by or contributed to as a
result of casualties, acts of God, labor difficulties, material or fuel
shortages, adverse weather conditions, governmental moratoriums, delays in
obtaining governmental permits and approvals, fire, vandalism, unavailability of
utilities, or other conditions beyond the control of Seller (the "UNCONTROLLABLE
EVENTS"). Buyer's sole remedy for Seller's failure to complete construction of
the Project by the Expected Completion Date (as such date may be extended by any
Uncontrollable Events) shall be to terminate this Contract, which shall occur
sixty (60) days following written notice of termination received by Seller from
Buyer; provided, however, that this Contract shall not be terminated if Seller
completes the Project within such sixty (60) day period. If this Contract is so
terminated, all earnest money and other amounts paid by Buyer to Seller under
this Contract shall be returned to Buyer and thereafter neither party shall have
any obligation to the other under this Contract. If Buyer does not elect to
terminate this Contract during such sixty (60) day period and Seller fails to
complete the Project within twenty-four (24) months from the date Buyer executes
this Contract, Buyer shall have all rights and remedies available at law or in
equity against Seller, including specific performance but excluding incidental
or consequential damages (including lost profits). Except as set forth in this
paragraph, no representation is made by Seller as to a specific completion date
or construction schedule.
(c) Insulation will be installed in the Unit as follows where
construction allows: (i) walls separating refrigerated areas from
nonrefrigerated areas: Type: fiberglass batts; thickness: _________ inches;
R-value: __________; (ii) ceiling (except over unrefrigerated storage areas):
Type: cellulose or fiberglass batts; thickness: _______________ inches; R-value:
___________ or greater. All thickness and R-values are approximate and R-values
do not include the R-value of other wall or ceiling materials. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, insulation may be of lesser thickness and R-value than indicated
in certain areas where the design of the Unit does not permit greater thickness.
Examples of locations where thickness and R-values may vary include locations
where studs are placed in walls, at corners and windows and where roof trusses
attach to outside walls. The R-values are based on the representation of the
manufacturer and/or installer of the insulation and Seller does not warrant or
represent that these R-values are correct. Seller has the right to make
substitutions as to the type, thickness and R-value of insulation installed in
the Unit without obtaining the consent of Buyer, as long as there are no
substantial changes in the R-value of the insulation installed in a substantial
portion of the Unit.

6. POSSESSION, ESCROW AND CLOSING.
(a) Possession of the Property shall remain exclusively with Seller
until the Closing and Buyer shall not have the right to take possession or
occupancy of the Unit at or following the Closing except as provided in the
Rental Pool Agreement.
(b) Seller and Buyer hereby employ ________________________, or such
other escrow agent as Buyer and Seller may agree upon (the "ESCROW AGENT"), to
act as escrow agent to facilitate the closing of this transaction. This Contract
shall serve as escrow instructions to Escrow Agent and the parties do not intend
to execute separate instructions. Upon Closing, Escrow Agent shall cause the
recording in the appropriate county offices of all necessary documents, disburse
all funds, issue to Buyer the title insurance policy referred to below and issue
to any lender any required title insurance policy insuring the lender's lien
against the Property in the amount of any loan obtained by Buyer. Escrow Agent
will not accept payments or tendered performance from Buyer after a cancellation
notice has been issued by Seller unless Seller authorizes acceptance of the same
in Seller's sole discretion. The parties hereto grant to Escrow Agent the right
to execute on their behalf an Affidavit of Value to enable recording of the
deed, using the total purchase price set forth above, unless instructed by the
parties to the contrary.
(c) It is Seller's intention to complete construction of the Project
prior to completion of the sale contemplated by this Contract. Accordingly,
Closing shall occur on the seventh (7th) day after Seller has notified Buyer
that Yavapai County has approved the Project (including the Unit) for occupancy,
which may occur prior to the Expected Completion Date. Should Buyer not fully
perform all of its payment and performance obligations (including but not
limited to execution and delivery of all loan and other closing documents) on or
before the date set for the Closing, in addition to all other amounts payable
hereunder, Buyer shall pay to Seller to compensate Seller for the delay,
interest at twelve percent (12%) per annum on the entire purchase price from the
date originally scheduled for the Closing to the date that this transaction is
actually completed, unless Seller elects to cancel this transaction by reason of
the failure of Buyer to timely complete this transaction on the Closing, or
unless such nonperformance by Buyer is caused by Seller's nonperformance of any
terms or conditions hereof. Provided Seller completes construction of the Unit
as required by the terms hereof, Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for any
costs, expenses, liabilities, losses or damages incurred by Buyer as a result of
any delay in the Closing, including but not limited to any loss or damage as a
result of any increase in commitment fees, points or interest rates assessed or
charged by any lender.
7. CONVEYANCE. Title to the Property shall be conveyed by special warranty
deed at the Closing subject only to (i) patent reservations, (ii) taxes and
assessments not due and payable at Closing, (iii) any liabilities, charges and
obligations imposed upon the Property by reason of inclusion or membership in
any electrical, agricultural, hospital, community facilities or other
improvement district or any water users association, (iv) the Declaration and
any amendments thereto and any matters referred to therein, (v) matters shown on
the plat, or which an accurate survey would show, (vi) easements and
5
<PAGE>
ANNEX D
rights-of-way for roads, canals, ditches, drainage and public utilities, (vii)
water rights, (viii) Buyer's purchase money encumbrance, if any, (ix) any other
matters of record not adversely affecting marketability of title to the
Property; and (x) any other matters agreed to in writing by Buyer, including,
without limitation, the Rental Pool Agreement. Once title to the Property has
been so conveyed, all claims and demands of Buyer against Seller arising under
this Contract or otherwise, including without limitation claims of negligence,
shall be waived, released and forever discharged, except, however, any warranty
claims arising under paragraph 12.
8. CLOSING COSTS AND PRORATIONS.
(a) In addition to the purchase price for the Unit, Buyer shall
deposit in escrow at least three (3) days prior to the Closing (i) an amount
equal to all casualty and liability insurance premiums, and tax impounds
required by any lender, and all advance payments to the Association as may be
required under the declaration, including, without limitation, a reserve fund
payment equal to $250,000 multiplied by the Percentage Interest attributable to
the Unit as set forth in the declaration, (ii) all prepaid Prorate Items
(defined below) for the period accruing after the Closing, and (iii) any
financing costs (origination fees, points, document preparation fees, tax
service fees, loan application fees, appraisal fees and credit report fees),
escrow fees and other closing costs, if any; provided, however, with respect to
the amounts referred to in this subsection (iii), Seller shall pay up to $7500
of such fees and costs for a one bedroom unit, $6500 for a studio unit, and
$7500 for an executive unit. Taxes, general and special assessments, community
facilities district assessments and homeowner association assessments ("prorate
items") shall be prorated as of the Closing based on the most recent information
available to Escrow Agent without adjustment following the Closing; however, if
Buyer causes any delay in the Closing, Buyer shall be responsible for all
Prorate Items from the date initially established for the Closing regardless of
the actual date of Closing.
(b) Income and expenses payable under the Rental Pool Agreement
shall also be prorated as of the closing, but such proration shall not occur
until 7 days after either Buyer or Seller receives information from the Hotel
Operator setting forth the amount of income and expenses attributable to the
Unit under the Rental Pool Agreement for the month in which the Closing occurs.
The party receiving such information from the Hotel Operator shall immediately
send a copy to the other party and any amount owed from one party to the other
shall be payable within 7 days following receipt of the monthly statement from
the Hotel Operator. The total positive or negative Rental Pool amount for the
calendar month in which Closing occurs shall be prorated with the Seller being
entitled to (or responsible for) the total of such monthly amount multiplied
times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days within the
calendar month through and including the date of Closing, divided by the number
of days in the calendar month, and Buyer being entitled to (or responsible for)
the balance of such monthly amount; provided, however (i) if Seller made
personal use of the Unit such that it was not included within the rental pool
during the calendar month in which the Closing occurred, the number of days so
used by seller shall be deducted from the numerator for purposes of computing
such proration and (ii) if Buyer makes personal use of the Unit following the
Closing during the month in which Closing occurred, the numerator shall be
increased by the number of days so used by Buyer for purposes of computing such
proration. Such proration shall be done
6
<PAGE>
ANNEX D
directly by the parties outside of escrow and neither Escrow Agent nor Hotel
Operator shall be responsible for determining the amount of any such proration
or shall be liable to Buyer or Seller with respect to any dispute regarding such
proration.
9. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.
(a) If, due to circumstances other than Seller's failure to
perform any term or condition hereof, Buyer fails to make any payment when due
or to timely perform any other term or condition hereof, Seller may deliver to
Buyer and Escrow Agent written notice detailing Buyer's failure of payment or
performance. Buyer shall have seven (7) days from receipt of such notice from
Seller or Escrow Agent within which to remedy the failure of payment or
performance. If, at the expiration of such curative period, Buyer has not cured
such failure of payment or performance, Seller's sole right and remedy for
Buyer's failure to perform and close escrow shall be to cancel this Contract and
any escrow established in connection herewith and receive all amounts paid by
Buyer into escrow as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty), in consideration
for administering this Contract, canceling escrow and taking the Unit off the
market, it being acknowledged that the actual damages of Seller would be
extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain.
(b) If Seller fails to complete the Project by the Expected Completion
Date (as it may be extended by Uncontrollable Events), Buyer shall have the
rights and remedies as set forth in paragraph 5(b) above. In all other
instances, if Seller fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this
Contract and if Buyer shall have complied with all of its obligations hereunder,
Buyer may deliver to Seller a written notice setting forth in detail the alleged
failure of performance by Seller. Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the
receipt of such notice from Buyer within which to cure such failure of
performance, except that if the required performance cannot reasonably be
completed by Seller within said thirty-day period, then Seller shall have a
reasonable time within which to complete its performance, not to exceed an
additional sixty (60) days. If, at the expiration of such period, Seller shall
not have cured such failure of performance, Buyer may, by further notice to
Seller, either (i) require Seller to refund all money deposited into escrow by
Buyer, whereupon this Contract shall be terminated without liability to either
party, or (ii) enforce any other right or remedy available at law or in equity;
however, in order to elect specific performance Buyer must tender full and
complete performance. In no event shall Seller be responsible to Buyer for
incidental or consequential damages, including lost profits. If Buyer does not
elect a specific remedy in its initial default notice to Seller, Buyer shall be
conclusively deemed to have elected to terminate this Contract and receive a
refund of all money deposited into escrow.
(c) If either party cancels this Contract as permitted herein, Buyer
shall have no further right, title or interest in or to the Property.
(d) If either party commences litigation, arbitration or any
regulatory proceeding to enforce any of the terms of this Contract, then the
nonprevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party all court costs,
arbitration fees, expert witness fees and other expenses of arbitration,
regulatory proceeding or suit (including any appeal) in connection therewith,
together with reasonable attorneys' fees determined by the court (without a
jury), arbitrator or regulatory agency.

ANNEX D
10. NO ORAL CHANGES OR REPRESENTATIONS. Seller wishes to avoid any
misunderstanding concerning the purchase of the Property and it is the policy of
Seller not to enter into any oral agreement or to ask any buyer to rely on any
oral representations concerning the Property or the Project. Buyer should not
rely on any representation or promise that is not set forth in writing in this
Contract or the Prospectus. No salesperson or broker has any authority to modify
the terms hereof nor any authority to make any representation or agreement not
contained in this Contract or the Prospectus and no person on behalf of Seller
is authorized to make any future oral agreement upon which Buyer may rely to
cancel, change or modify any portion of this Contract. This Contract supersedes
any and all prior understandings and agreements. This Contract may be amended or
modified only by an agreement in writing signed by Buyer and Seller and Seller's
authorized agent.
11. NOTICES. All notices to be given by either party to the other shall be
in writing and shall be served by personal delivery or by depositing such notice
in the United States mail, certified or registered, addressed and delivered to
the party to receive the notice at the addresses set forth herein or at such
other address as may be indicated by one party to the other party by written
notice. Notices sent by certified or registered mail as set forth above shall be

construction of the Unit, Seller expressly warrants that it shall repair or
replace all defective materials and correct all defective workmanship
incorporated in the Unit if Buyer notifies Seller in writing of the defect
within one (1) years from the date of Closing. Such warranty does not apply to
(and Seller should have no liability for) defects or damage caused, by way of
example and not as a limitation, by (i) normal wear and tear or deterioration,
(ii) any damage caused or made worse by the negligence, improper maintenance,
improper operation or alteration of the Unit by anyone other than Seller, (iii)
any loss or damage resulting from acts of God, natural disasters or other causes
beyond the control of Seller, including but not limited to, fire, explosion,
smoke, water, glass breakage, windstorm, hail, lightning, changes which are not
reasonably foreseeable in the level of the underground water table, falling
trees, aircraft, vehicles, flood and earthquake; (iv) insubstantial variances or
defects; (v) environmental conditions such as overhead, underground or
above-ground power lines or facilities, radon or other naturally occurring
hazardous environmental conditions; (vii) deferred maintenance items or
vandalism or other damage caused by occupants of the Unit; (vii) warranty
service which is the responsibility of the manufacturer or supplier of any
tangible personal property included within the Unit; or (viii) maintenance and
repairs which are the responsibility of the Hotel Operator under the Rental Pool
Agreement. Buyer understands and agrees that warranty service may require
multiple service calls in order to complete corrective action. At or prior to
8
<PAGE>
ANNEX D
Closing Seller shall schedule a walk-through inspection of the Unit with Buyer.
Seller shall make agreed upon repairs identified during such walk-through
inspection within a reasonable period of time following the Closing.
(b) THE WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS CONTRACT ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES
OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW
SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS (AND BUYER HEREBY WAIVES AND RELEASES SELLER FROM ALL
LIABILITIES IN CONNECTION WITH) ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, HABITABILITY OR WORKMANSHIP WHICH EXCEED THE
EXPRESS WARRANTY SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH 12(a) ABOVE. BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND
AGREES THAT SELLER'S LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY OR
OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE REMEDY OF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT AS SET FORTH ABOVE.
NO STEPS TAKEN BY SELLER TO CORRECT DEFECTS OR ALLEGED DEFECTS SHALL EXTEND THE
WARRANTY PERIOD BEYOND THE ONE-YEAR PERIOD SET FORTH ABOVE. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO BUYER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. NO ACTION, REGARDLESS OF FORM, ARISING OUT OF THE
TRANSACTIONS UNDER THIS CONTRACT, MAY BE BROUGHT BY BUYER MORE THAN ONE YEAR
AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION HAS ACCRUED UNDER THE WARRANTY PROVISIONS OF THIS
SECTION 12.
Buyer's Initials: ______
13. ENTRY ON PROPERTY. Seller's field construction personnel and
contractors have no authority to make promises or waivers which are binding upon
Seller. Buyer agrees not to interfere with the work of such personnel and
contractors. Buyer understands that the Project site could be dangerous and
prior to closing Buyer shall not enter the Project. Buyer shall be responsible
for all injury and damage to persons or property suffered by Buyer or Buyer's
family members or guests who enter the Project, and Buyer shall indemnify,
defend and hold Seller and its contractors harmless for, from and against any
such injuries and damages and all costs and expenses related thereto, including
attorneys' fees.

SELLER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY TYPE OF DAMAGE, WHETHER DIRECT,
INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL, WHICH THE PROPERTY OR ITS INHABITANTS MAY SUFFER

ANNEX D
15. BROKERAGE DISCLOSURE. Buyer acknowledges that the agents marketing
Units for Seller at the Project are acting solely as the agents of Seller.
Seller does not utilize sub-agents; therefore, if Buyer has been shown the Unit
by an agent other than one of Seller's Project agents, such agent is the agent
of Buyer and solely represents Buyer. Seller shall not pay any broker, agent or
finder a commission, fee or any other compensation unless there is a written
agreement signed by Seller and the broker, agent or finder detailing the amount
of compensation to be paid, the conditions of payment and confirming that the
agent, broker or finder is acting solely on behalf of Buyer and not as a
sub-agent of Seller and that such agent, broker or finder is legally qualified
to be paid compensation for locating Buyer or participating in the sale of the
Unit.
16. MISCELLANEOUS.

shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder. The numbers and gender used
herein shall be deemed to apply to such number and gender as the context
requires.
(b) This Contract shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding
upon the parties, their heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns,
provided, however, neither this Contract nor any rights hereunder may be
assigned or transferred by Buyer prior to the Closing without the prior written
consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of
Seller, and any such prohibited assignment shall be void.
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, no waiver in connection with
this Contract shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought. The waiver of a breach of any
position of this Contract shall not constitute a waiver of the same or a
different breach in the future.

terms, conditions and provisions of this Contract.
(e) This Contract shall not be binding upon Seller until accepted by
Seller and executed by Seller's authorized representative. Buyer's earnest money

Project shall be destroyed or materially damaged by fire or other casualty,
either Buyer or Seller may cancel this Contract, in which event Buyer shall be
entitled to a full refund of all amounts paid hereunder, unless Seller agrees to
repair and compete construction no later than one year after the date of fire or
other casualty, in which event this Contract shall remain in full force and
effect.
(g) This Contract shall be governed and enforced under the laws of the
State of Arizona.

escrow agent in order to evidence or give effect to the provisions of this
Contract, both prior to and following the Closing. If the parties cannot agree

ANNEX D
ADDENDUM TO PURCHASE CONTRACT AND RECEIPT
This Addendum to Purchase Contract and Receipt (this "ADDENDUM") is
attached to that certain Purchase Contract and Receipt (the "CONTRACT"), dated
______________________, 199__, by and between UP SEDONA, INC., an Arizona
corporation ("SELLER") and _______________________________, a(n)
___________________________ ("BUYER") for unit ____. Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined in this Addendum be as defined in the Contract. In the event
of any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of this Addendum and the
Contract, the terms of this Addendum shall govern.
1. DEFINITIONS.
a. "CASH FLOW DEFICIENCY" means that at any time during the Inducement
Period, there is a negative difference between Gross Revenues and Expenses with
respect to the Unit which have been earned and incurred during the Inducement
Period.
b. "EXPENSES" shall include all "Hotel Expenses" as defined in the
Rental Pool Agreement plus: (1) assessments payable by the Buyer pursuant to the
Declaration; (2) real property taxes and assessments for the Unit; and (3) debt
service payments which would be payable pursuant to an Imputed Mortgage.
Expenses shall exclude, however, (i) any expenses incurred to repair or replace
any damage to the Unit or the furniture and furnishings within the Unit as a
result of Buyer's intentional or negligent acts; and (ii) any exclusion to the
term "Hotel Expenses" as set forth in the Rental Pool Agreement unless
specifically included above.
c. "GROSS REVENUE" shall have the same definition as in the Rental
Pool Agreement.
d. "INDUCEMENT PERIOD" means the period commencing on the Closing Date
and expiring one year following the date upon which the Project opens for
business and begins accepting paying hotel guests (as determined by the Hotel
Operator).
e. "IMPUTED MORTGAGE" means a loan which, for computation purposes,
has a loan to value ratio of seventy-five percent (75%) of the purchase price of
the Unit as set forth in Paragraph 3 of the Contract and bears interest at a
rate not to exceed eight percent (8%) per annum, computed biannually, amortized
over a period of thirty (30) years, which results in a mortgage constant of
.00724711 on a monthly basis. Therefore, in computing monthly debt service
payments for purposes of establishing whether there is a Cash Flow Deficiency,
the price of the Unit would be multiplied by 75% and the product would be
multiplied by the mortgage constant of .00724711, which results in an imputed
monthly debt service for Buyer of $ . Seller's obligations under this Addendum
are based upon an Imputed Mortgage regardless of whether Buyer pays cash for the
Unit or obtains a purchase money loan of more or less than seventy-five percent
(75%) of the Unit purchase price.
2. PAYMENT OF CASH FLOW DEFICIENCY.
a. At the Closing the Hotel Operator shall be given a copy of this
Addendum and the current tax statement for the Unit and shall be directed to
submit to Buyer and Seller monthly statements during the Inducement Period
setting forth any Cash Flow Deficiency for the specific monthly period. Buyer
irrevocably authorizes Hotel Operator to provide such information to Seller.
Upon receipt Buyer shall send to Seller copies of all subsequent real property
tax assessment notices for the Unit. Seller shall promptly forward such tax
statements to the Hotel Operator to enable the Hotel Operator to include current
1
<PAGE>
ANNEX D
real property taxes in determining whether a Cash Flow Deficiency exists. Until
receipt of any such subsequent assessment notices, the Hotel Operator may rely
upon the last tax assessment notice received by the Hotel Operator. If following
the end of any calendar month Seller receives notice from the Hotel Operator
that there was a Cash Flow Deficiency for the Unit which occurred in the prior
month during the Inducement Period, Seller will cause such Cash Flow Deficiency
to be paid to the Hotel Operator, for the account of Buyer (and for distribution
and application as set forth in the Rental Pool Agreement), within fifteen (15)
days of receipt of such written statement from the Hotel Operator detailing the
amount of the applicable Cash Flow Deficiency.
b. Buyer understands that the amounts to be derived under the Rental
Pool Agreement will likely fluctuate from month to month and that while there
may be a Cash Flow Deficiency during one or more monthly periods, in other
monthly periods Buyer may receive distributions under the Rental Pool Agreement
which would have otherwise offset prior Cash Flow Deficiencies, such that at the
end of the Inducement Period (i) there may be no actual accumulated Cash Flow
Deficiency, or (ii) the total accumulated Cash Flow Deficiency may be less than
the total monthly Cash Flow Deficiencies which Seller has paid for the benefit
of Buyer during the Inducement Period. Accordingly, at the end of the Inducement
Period, based upon the reports of the Hotel Operator, if Seller has paid to
Buyer any Cash Flow Deficiencies during the Inducement Period and either (i)
there is no aggregate Cash Flow Deficiency, or (ii) the aggregate Cash Flow
Deficiency for the term of the Inducement Period is less than the total of the
periodic amounts paid by Seller to Buyer under the terms of subparagraph 2(a),
Buyer shall immediately remit any overpayments to Seller. If Seller has not
received such payment within fifteen (15) days following notice to Buyer
requesting repayment, Seller may enforce all rights and remedies available at
law or in equity to collect such reimbursement and Buyer hereby irrevocably
instructs the Hotel Operator to pay to Seller all amounts which would otherwise
be payable to Buyer under the Rental Pool Agreement until such reimbursement
amount, together with interest thereon at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per
annum from the due date until paid, has been paid in full.
c. Seller shall have no obligation to Buyer for any Cash Flow
Deficiency which may occur at any time after the Inducement Period.

ITEM 31. SALES TO SPECIAL PARTIES.

ITEM 32. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
None.
ITEM 33. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") require the
Registrant to indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee,
or agent of the Corporation against liability for monetary damages for acts or
alleged acts and failures to act or alleged failures to act of such person with
respect to the Corporation. The effect of the provisions of the Articles and the
Arizona Business Corporation Act (the "Business Corporation Act") is described
below.
The Articles and the Business Corporation Act require the Registrant to
indemnify all "Outside Directors," as defined below, and officers of the
Registrant who are not directors against "liability," as defined below. The
Articles and the Business Corporation Act also require the Registrant to
indemnify against reasonable "expenses," as defined below, any director who is
the prevailing party in the defense of any proceeding to which the director is a
party because such person is or was a director of the Registrant. In addition,
the Business Corporation Act requires the Registrant to pay expenses to Outside
Directors in advance of a final disposition of the proceeding if (1) the
director furnishes to the Registrant a written affirmation (an "Affirmation") of
his or her good faith belief that (i) his or her conduct was in good faith, (ii)
he or she reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the
Registrant or at least not opposed to the Registrant's best interests, and (iii)
in the case of any criminal proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to
believe the conduct was unlawful (the "Standard of Conduct") and (2) the
director provides the Registrant with a written undertaking (an "Undertaking")
to repay the advance if it ultimately is determined that the director did not
meet the Standard of Conduct. However, the Business Corporation Act prohibits
the Registrant from advancing expenses to an Outside Director if a court of
competent jurisdiction determines before payment that the director failed to
meet the Standard of Conduct and a court does not otherwise authorize
indemnification.
II-1
<PAGE>
The Articles and the Business Corporation Act also require the Registrant
to indemnify a director who is not an Outside Director against liability, but
only if the Registrant is authorized in the specific case after a determination
has been made by either (a) a majority of the members of the Board of Directors
who are not at the time parties to the proceeding, (b) special legal counsel, or
(c) the shareholders of the Registrant (excluding shares owned by or voted under
the control of directors who are at the time parties to the proceeding) that the
director has met the Standard of Conduct (a "Determination"). In addition, the
Business Corporation Act prohibits the Registrant from indemnifying a director
who is not an Outside Director in connection with a proceeding by or in the
right of the Registrant in which the director is adjudged liable to the
Registrant, or in connection with a proceeding in which the director was
adjudged liable on the basis that the director improperly received a personal
benefit. The Business Corporation Act and the Articles permit the Registrant to
pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses of a director who is not an Outside
Director in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding if the director
furnishes the Registrant with an Affirmation, an Undertaking, and a
Determination is made that the facts then known to the persons making the
Determination would not preclude indemnification under the Business Corporation
Act.
As permitted by the Business Corporation Act, except for situations where
the Registrant is required to indemnify its officers who are not also directors
against liability, as described above, the Articles require the Registrant to
indemnify against liability and permit the Registrant to advance expenses to any
officer, employee, or agent who is not a director to the same extent as to a
director. However, the Business Corporation Act prohibits the Registrant from
indemnifying such persons against liability unless a Determination is made that
indemnification is permissible because the person has met the Standard of
Conduct. The Business Corporation Act permits the Registrant to pay for or
reimburse expenses to an officer, employee, or agent who is not a director in
advance of a final disposition of the proceeding, but only if the person
furnishes to the Registrant an Affirmation and an Undertaking, and a
Determination is made that the facts then known to the persons making the
Determination would not otherwise preclude indemnification.
The Articles and the Business Corporation Act permit a director or officer
of the Registrant to apply to a court for indemnification, in which case the
court may, subject to certain conditions, order the Registrant to indemnify such
person for part or all of the person's liability and expenses.
The Business Corporation Act defines "Outside Director" to mean a director
who, when serving as a director, was not an officer, employee or holder of more
than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of stock of the Registrant.
"Liability" under the Business Corporation Act means the obligation to pay a
judgment, settlement, penalty or fine, including an excise tax assessed with
respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses incurred with
respect to a proceeding and include obligations and expenses that have not yet
been paid by the indemnified person but that have been or may be incurred. The
Business Corporation Act defines "expenses" as attorney fees and all other costs
and expenses reasonably related to a proceeding.

ITEM 36. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement.
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease
in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or
high and of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
II-3
<PAGE>
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offer therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
(i) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus
filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and
contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule
424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part
of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

of repairs, refurbishing, replacement and maintenance of all Furnishings shall
be the responsibility of the Unit Owners, each of which shall cause its Unit and
the Furnishings for such Unit to be maintained in good order and repair,

pay the costs of complying with SECTIONS 5.1 AND 5.2; or (iii) the Hotel
Operator is in default under such agreement and is not paying such costs, the
Association shall be responsible for assuring compliance with SECTION 5.1 AND

repair, maintenance, refurbishing or replacement obligations of SECTIONS 5.1 OR
5.2 shall become Common Expenses and shall be payable in accordance with the

6.2 DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
6.2.1 During the Period of Declarant Control, the Declarant shall have
the right to appoint and remove the members of the Board of Directors and the
officers of the Association. Such members of the Board of Directors and officers
are not required to be Unit Owners.
6.2.2 Upon the termination of the Period of Declarant Control, the
Unit Owners shall elect the Board of Directors which must consist of at least
five (5) members, at least a majority of whom must be Unit Owners. The Board of
Directors elected by the Unit Owners shall then elect the officers of the
Association.
6.2.3 The Declarant may voluntarily surrender its right to appoint and
remove the members of the Board of Directors and the officers of the Association
before termination of the Period of Declarant Control, and in that event the
Declarant may require, for the duration of the Period of Declarant Control, that
specified actions of the Association or the Board of Directors, as described in
a recorded instrument executed by the Declarant, be approved by the Declarant
before they become effective.
6.3 RULES. The Board of Directors, from time to time and subject to the
provisions of this Declaration and the Condominium Act, may adopt, amend, and
repeal Rules. The Rules may, among other things, restrict and govern the use of
any area by any Guest, any Unit Owner, or by any family member or invitee of
such Unit Owner; provided, however, that the Rules may not unreasonably
discriminate among Unit Owners and shall not be inconsistent with the
Condominium Act, this Declaration, the Articles, Bylaws or any Hotel Operating
and Rental Pool Agreement, nor shall such Rules discriminate against the Hotel
Operator or unreasonably restrict the Hotel Operator from performing its duties
or exercising its rights under the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement. A
copy of the Rules as they may from time to time be adopted, amended or repealed,
shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to each Unit Owner and may be recorded.
6.4 COMPOSITION OF MEMBERS. Each Unit Owner shall be a Member of the
Association. The membership of the Association at all times shall consist
exclusively of all the Unit Owners. A Unit Owner (including Declarant) of a Unit
shall automatically, upon becoming the Unit Owner thereof, be a Member of the
Association and shall remain a Member of the Association until such time as such
Unit Owner's ownership ceases for any reason, at which time, such Unit Owner's
membership in the Association shall automatically cease.
6.5 PERSONAL LIABILITY. Neither Declarant nor any member of the Board of
Directors or of any committee of the Association, any officer of the Association
nor any manager or other employee of the Association shall be personally liable
to any Member, or to any other person or entity, including the Association, for
any damage, loss or prejudice suffered or claimed on account of any act,
omission, error or negligence of the Declarant, the Association, the Board of
24
<PAGE>
Directors, the manager, any representative or employee of the Association, or
any committee, committee member or officer of the Association; provided,
however, the limitations set forth in this SECTION 6.5 shall not apply to any
person who has failed to act in good faith or has engaged in wilful or
intentional misconduct.
6.6 IMPLIED RIGHTS. The Association may exercise any right or privilege
given to the Association expressly by the Condominium Documents and every other
right or privilege reasonably to be implied from the existence of any right or
privilege given to the Association by the Condominium Documents or reasonably
necessary to effectuate any such right or privilege.
6.7 VOTING RIGHTS. Subject to SECTION 6.8 below, each Unit Owner of a Unit,
including Declarant, shall be entitled to cast one (1) vote for each Unit owned
by such Unit Owner, on any Association matter which is put to a vote of the
membership in accordance with this Declaration, the Articles and/or Bylaws.
6.8 VOTING PROCEDURES. No change in the ownership of a Unit shall be
effective for voting purposes unless and until the Board of Directors is given
actual written notice of such change and is provided satisfactory proof thereof.
The vote for each such Unit must be cast as a unit, and fractional votes shall
not be allowed. In the event that a Unit is owned by more than one (1) Person
and such Unit Owners are unable to agree among themselves as to how their vote
or votes shall be cast, they shall lose their right to vote on the matter in
question. If any Member casts a vote representing a certain Unit, it will
thereafter be conclusively presumed for all purposes that such Unit Owner was
acting with the authority and consent of all other Unit Owners of the same Unit
unless objection thereto is made at the time the vote is cast. In the event more
than one (1) vote is cast by a Member for a particular Unit, none of the votes
shall be counted and all of the votes shall be deemed void.
6.9 TRANSFER OF MEMBERSHIP. The rights and obligations of any Member other
than the Declarant shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged, conveyed or
alienated in any way except upon transfer of ownership of a Unit Owner's Unit,
and then only to the transferee of ownership to the Unit. A transfer of
ownership to a Unit may be effected by deed, intestate succession, testamentary
disposition, foreclosure of a mortgage of record, or such other legal process as
now in effect or as may hereafter be established under or pursuant to the laws
of the State of Arizona. Any attempt to make a prohibited transfer shall be
void. Any transfer of ownership to a Unit shall operate to transfer the
membership appurtenant to said Unit to the new Unit Owner thereof. Each
Purchaser of a Unit shall notify the Association of its purchase within ten (10)
days after becoming the Unit Owner of a Unit.
6.10 SUSPENSION OF VOTING RIGHTS. If any Unit Owner fails to pay any
Assessments or other amounts due to the Association under the Condominium
Documents within fifteen (15) days after such payment is due or if any Unit
Owner violates any other provision of the Condominium Documents and such
violation is not cured within fifteen (15) days after the Association notifies
the Unit Owner of the violation, the Board of Directors shall have the right to
25
<PAGE>
suspend such Unit Owner's right to vote until such time as all payments,
including interest and attorneys' fees, are brought current, and until any other
infractions or violations of the Condominium Documents are corrected.
6.11 CONVEYANCE OR ENCUMBRANCE OF COMMON ELEMENTS. The Common Elements
shall not be mortgaged, transferred, dedicated or encumbered without the prior
written consent or affirmative vote of Unit Owners representing at least eighty
percent (80%) of the votes of the Members. In addition, any conveyance,
encumbrance, judicial sale or other transfer (whether voluntary or involuntary)
of an individual interest in the Common Elements shall be void unless the Unit
to which that interest is allocated also is transferred.
ARTICLE 7
ASSESSMENTS
7.1 PREPARATION OF BUDGET.
7.1.1 At least thirty (30) days before the beginning of each fiscal
year of the Association commencing with the fiscal year in which the first Unit
is conveyed to a Purchaser, the Board of Directors shall adopt a budget for the
Association containing an estimate of the total amount of funds which the Board
of Directors believes will be required during the ensuing fiscal year to pay all
Common Expenses, excluding any Common Expenses which are proposed to be paid by
the Hotel Operator pursuant to the terms of the annual operating budget prepared
by the Hotel Operator for the ensuing year. The budget shall separately reflect
any Common Expenses to be assessed against less than all of the Units pursuant
to SUBSECTION 7.2.4 of this Declaration.
7.1.2 Within thirty (30) days after the adoption of a budget, the
Board of Directors shall send to each Unit Owner the budget or a summary of the
budget and a statement of the amount of the Common Expense Assessment assessed
against the Unit of the Unit Owner in accordance with SECTION 7.2 of this
Declaration. The failure or delay of the Board of Directors to prepare or adopt
a budget for any fiscal year shall not constitute a waiver or release in any
manner of a Unit Owner's obligation to pay his allocable share of the Common
Expenses as provided in SECTION 7.2 of this Declaration, and each Unit Owner
shall continue to pay the Common Expense Assessment against his Unit as
established for the previous fiscal year until notice of the Common Expense
Assessment for the new fiscal year has been established by the Board of
Directors.
7.1.3 The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt and
amend budgets for the Association, and no ratification of any budget or amended
budget by the Unit Owners shall be required.
26
<PAGE>
7.2 COMMON EXPENSE ASSESSMENT.
7.2.1 For each fiscal year of the Association commencing with the
fiscal year in which the first Unit is conveyed to a Purchaser, the Common
Expense Assessment for each Unit shall be determined by multiplying the total
estimated Common Expenses set forth in the budget adopted by the Board of
Directors (except for the Common Expenses which are to be assessed against less
than all of the Units pursuant to SUBSECTION 7.2.4) times the applicable
Percentage Interest as set forth on EXHIBIT "B" attached hereto (the "Common
Expense Share"). If the Board of Directors determines during any fiscal year
that funds budgeted or available for that fiscal year are or will become
inadequate to meet all Common Expenses for any reason, including, without
limitation, reduced income and expense reimbursement from the operation of the
hotel, or increased Common Expenses, nonpayment of Assessments by Members, or
nonpayment of hotel operating costs (including maintenance and repairs of the
Common Elements, Unit Furnishings, Hotel Furnishings and Units by the Hotel
Operator) the Board of Directors may increase and reallocate the Common Expense
Assessment for that fiscal year and the revised Common Expense Assessment for
each Unit shall commence on the date designated by the Board of Directors.
7.2.2 The Common Expense Assessments shall commence as to all Units on
the first day of the month following the conveyance of the first Unit to a
Purchaser. The first Common Expense Assessment shall be adjusted according to
the number of months remaining in the fiscal year of the Association. The Board
of Directors may require that the Common Expense Assessments or be paid in
installments. For the period from the date upon which this Declaration is
recorded through the first day of the month following the conveyance of the
first Unit to a Purchaser, the Declarant shall be responsible for assuring that
the actual Common Expenses accrued through such date are paid.
7.2.3 Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Declaration,
all Common Expenses shall be assessed against all of the Units in accordance
with SUBSECTION 7.2.1 of this Declaration.
7.2.4 If any Common Expense is caused by the negligence or other
misconduct of any Unit Owner, or if any Unit Owner fails to pay when due any
amount owing to the Hotel Operator under the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool
Agreement (a "Rental Pool Delinquency"), the Association (i) shall assess any
such Common Expense exclusively against such Unit Owner to the extent not
covered by insurance; and (ii) may assess any such Rental Pool Delinquency
exclusively against such Unit Owner.
7.2.5 All Assessments, monetary penalties and other fees and charges
levied against a Unit shall be the personal obligation of the Unit Owner of the
Unit at the time the Assessments, monetary penalties or other fees and charges
became due. The personal obligation of a Unit Owner for Assessments, monetary
penalties and other fees and charges levied against his Unit shall not pass to
the Unit Owner's successors in title unless expressly assumed by them.
27
<PAGE>
7.3 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. In addition to Common Expense Assessments, the
Association may levy, in any fiscal year of the Association, a special
assessment applicable to that fiscal year only for the purpose of defraying, in
whole or in part, the cost of any construction, reconstruction, repair or
replacement of a capital improvement of one or more Units and/or the Common
Elements, including fixtures and personal property related thereto, or for any
other lawful Association purpose, provided that any Special Assessment shall
have first been approved by Unit Owners representing two-thirds (2/3) of the
votes in the Association who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly
called for such purpose. Unless otherwise specified by the Board of Directors,
Special Assessments shall be due thirty (30) days after they are levied by the
Association and notice of the Special Assessment is given to the Unit Owners.
7.4 EFFECT OF NONPAYMENT OF ASSESSMENTS; REMEDIES OF THE ASSOCIATION.
7.4.1 Any Assessment, or any installment of an Assessment, which is
not paid within five (5) days after the Assessment first became due shall be
deemed delinquent and shall bear interest from the date of delinquency at the
rate of interest established from time to time by the Board of Directors.
7.4.2 All Assessments, monetary penalties and other fees and charges
imposed or levied against any Unit or Unit Owner shall be secured by the
Assessment Lien as provided for in the Condominium Act. The recording of this
Declaration constitutes record notice and perfection of the Assessment Lien, and
no further recordation of any claim of lien shall be required. Although not
required in order to perfect the Assessment Lien, the Association shall have the
right but not the obligation, to record a notice setting forth the amount of any
delinquent assessments, monetary penalties or other fees or charges imposed or
levied against a Unit or the Unit Owner which are secured by the Assessment
Lien.
7.4.3 The Association shall have the right, at its option, to enforce
collection of any delinquent Assessments, monetary penalties and all other fees
and charges owed to the Association in any manner allowed by law including, but
not limited to: (i) bringing an action at law against the Unit Owner personally
obligated to pay the delinquent amounts and such action may be brought without
waiving the Assessment Lien securing any such delinquent amounts; or (ii)
bringing an action to foreclose its Assessment Lien against the Unit in the
manner provided by law for the foreclosure of a realty mortgage. The Association
shall have the power to bid in at any foreclosure sale and to purchase, acquire,
hold, lease, mortgage and convey any and all Units purchased at such sale.
7.5 SUBORDINATION OF ASSESSMENT LIEN TO MORTGAGES. The Assessment Lien
shall be subordinate to the lien of any First Mortgage. Any First Mortgagee or
any other party acquiring title or coming into possession of a Unit through
foreclosure of a First Mortgage, purchase at a foreclosure sale or trustee sale,
or through any equivalent proceedings, such as, but not limited to, the taking
of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, shall acquire title free and clear of any
claims for unpaid Assessments, monetary penalties and other fees and charges
28
<PAGE>
against the Unit which became payable prior to such sale or transfer. Any
delinquent Assessments, monetary penalties and other fees and charges which are
extinguished pursuant to this SECTION 7.5 may be reallocated and assessed to all
Units as at Common Expense. Any Assessments, monetary penalties and other fees
and charges against the Unit which accrue prior to such sale or transfer shall
remain the obligation of the defaulting Unit Owner.
7.6 EXEMPTION OF UNIT OWNER. No Unit Owner may exempt itself from liability
for payment of Assessments, monetary penalties and other fees and charges levied
pursuant to the Condominium Documents by waiver and nonuse of any of the Common
Elements or by the abandonment or non-use of its Unit.
7.7 CERTIFICATE OF PAYMENT. The Association on written request shall issue
or cause to be issued to a lienholder, Unit Owner or Person designated by a Unit
Owner a recordable statement setting forth the amount of unpaid Assessments
against his Unit. The statement shall be furnished within twenty (20) business
days after receipt of the request and is binding on the Association, the Board
of Directors, and every Unit Owner. In addition, upon receipt of written notice
from a Unit Owner or other interested Person, the Association shall furnish to a
Purchaser within seven (7) days after receipt of notice of a pending sale of a
Unit, a written statement setting forth the amount of the Common Expense
Assessment for the Unit and any unpaid Common Expense Assessment, fee or charge
currently due from the selling Unit Owner, together with such other information
as may be required under the Condominium Act. The Association may charge a
reasonable fee in an amount established by the Board of Directors for each such
statement.
7.8 NO OFFSETS. All Assessments, monetary penalties and other fees and
charges shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this Declaration,
and no offsets against such Assessments, monetary penalties and other fees and
charges shall be permitted for any reason, including, without limitation, a
claim that the Association is not properly exercising its duties and powers as
provided in the Condominium Documents or the Condominium Act or that
insufficient revenue is being generated by the Hotel Operator.
7.9 RESERVE FUND. To assist the Association in maintaining adequate funds
to pay any hotel operation expenses and to establish appropriate reserves
therefor, each Purchaser of a Unit from the Declarant shall pay to the
Association, immediately upon becoming the Unit Owner of the Unit, an operating
cash reserve fund payment equal to $250,000 multiplied times the Percentage
Interest attributable to the Unit as such amount is set forth on EXHIBIT "B" for
each Unit. Such amount shall not be considered as an advance payment of any
Assessments levied by the Association pursuant to this Declaration. The
Association shall make such reserve fund payment available to the Hotel Operator
following the first year's operation of the Hotel to apply against any operating
cash required to be funded by the Unit Owners pursuant to the term of the Hotel
Operating and Rental Pool Agreement.
29
<PAGE>
7.10 SURPLUS FUNDS. Surplus funds of the Association remaining after
payment of or making provisions for Common Expenses and establishing any
reserves may in the discretion of the Board of Directors either be returned to
the Unit Owners pro rata in accordance with each Unit Owner's Common Expense
Liability or be credited on a pro rata basis to the Unit Owners to reduce each
Unit Owner's future Common Expense Assessments or may be added to any
contingency or other reserve funds maintained by the Association.
7.11 MONETARY PENALTIES. In accordance with the procedures set forth in the
Bylaws, the Board of Directors shall have the right to levy reasonable monetary
penalties against a Unit Owner for violations of the Condominium Documents.
7.12 TRANSFER FEE. Each Purchaser of a Unit shall pay to the Association
immediately upon becoming the Owner of the Unit a transfer fee in such amount as
is established from time to time by the Board of Directors.
7.13 ADDITIONAL RESERVES. The Association may establish and maintain, from
Common Expense Assessments, additional reserves to provide for the replacement
and capital repairs of the Common Elements, Unit Furnishings, Hotel Furnishings
and other Improvements to the Condominium which the Association is obligated to
repair, maintain and replace. In determining whether to establish such reserves
and the amount of such reserves, the Board of Directors may take into account
the reserves provided for in SECTION 7.9 and any other reserves established by
the Hotel Operator pursuant to the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement
which are established for similar purposes. The Association may make such
additional reserves available to the Hotel Operator in order to enable the Hotel
Operator to comply with its obligations under the Hotel Operating and Rental
Pool Agreement to repair or replace Improvements, Unit Furnishings and Hotel
Furnishings.
7.14 HOTEL OPERATING REVENUES. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
ARTICLE 7 to the contrary, all or any portion of distributions otherwise due and
payable to a Unit Owner pursuant to the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool
Agreement may be collected by the Association from the Hotel Operator upon
demand and may be used by the Association to pay and offset against all or any
portion of the Assessments or other amounts due and payable by such Unit Owner
pursuant to this Declaration. The foregoing shall not, however, relieve any such
Unit Owner of its obligation to pay Assessments or any deficiencies resulting
after the application of revenues from the Hotel Operating and Rental Pool
Agreement.
7.15 UNIT TAXES. Each Unit Owner shall be responsible for all real estate
taxes attributable to its Unit and all income, sales, use, privilege, bed,
lodging and other taxes attributable to any revenue earned by such Unit Owner in
connection with participating in the rental pool arrangement or any other income
produced relative to its respective Unit. It is anticipated that the Hotel
Operator will file and remit to the appropriate governmental agencies the sales,
use, privilege, bed or lodging taxes applicable to the rental pool arrangement.

Unit to a Purchaser, the Association shall maintain, to the extent reasonably
available, the following insurance coverage from generally acceptable insurance
carriers:
(i) Property insurance on the Common Elements and Units,
including Hotel Furnishings and Unit Furnishings but exclusive of all other
personal property of Unit Owners, issued under a standard form "All Risk of
Direct Physical Loss Form" in an amount equal to the maximum insurable
replacement value of the Common Elements and Units, as determined by the Board
of Directors; provided, however that the total amount of insurance after
application of any deductibles shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%)
of the current replacement cost of the insured property, exclusive of land,
excavations, foundations and other items normally excluded from a property
insurance policy.
(ii) Broad form comprehensive general liability insurance, for a
limit to be determined by the Board, but not less than $1,000,000.00 for any
single occurrence. Such insurance shall cover all occurrences commonly insured
against for death, bodily injury and property damage arising out of or in
connection with the use, ownership or maintenance of the Common Elements. Such
policy shall include (i) a cross liability clause to cover liabilities of the
Unit Owners as a group to a Unit Owner, (ii) medical payments insurance and
contingent liability coverage arising out of the use of hired and nonowned
automobiles, and (iii) coverage for any legal liability that results from
lawsuits related to employment contracts to which the Association is a party.
(iii) Worker's compensation insurance to the extent necessary to
meet the requirements of the laws of Arizona.
(iv) Directors' and officers' liability insurance covering all
the directors and officers of the Association in such limits as the Board of
Directors may determine from time to time.
(v) Such other insurance as the Association shall determine from
time to time to be appropriate to protect the Association, the members of the
Board of Directors, the members of any committee or the Board of Directors or
the Unit Owners.
31
<PAGE>
(vi) The insurance policies purchased by the Association shall,
to the extent reasonably available, contain the following provisions:
(a) Each Unit Owner shall be an insured under the policy
with respect to liability arising out of his ownership of an undivided interest
in the Common Elements or membership in the Association.
(b) There shall be no subrogation with respect to the
Association, its agents, servants, and employees against Unit Owners and members
of their household.
(c) No act or omission by any Unit Owner shall void the
policy or be a condition to recovery on the policy.
(d) The coverage afforded by such policy shall be primary
and shall not be brought into contribution or proration with any insurance which
may be purchased by Unit Owners or their mortgagees or beneficiaries under deeds
of trust.
(e) A "severability of interest" endorsement which shall
preclude the insurer from denying the claim of a Unit Owner because of the
negligent acts of the Association or other Unit Owners.
(f) The Association shall be the insured for use and benefit
of the individual Unit Owners (designated by name if required by the insurer).
(g) For policies of hazard insurance, a standard mortgagee
clause providing that the insurance carrier shall notify the Association and
each First Mortgagee named in the policy at least thirty (30) days in advance of
the effective date of any substantial change in coverage or cancellation of the
policy.
(h) Any insurance trust agreement will be recognized by the
insurer.
(vii) Boiler explosion insurance evidenced by the standard form
of boiler machinery insurance policy and providing coverage in the minimum
amount of $50,000.00 per accident per location.

Secretary of Housing & Urban Development as an area having special flood
hazards, a "blanket policy" of flood insurance on the Condominium in the lesser
of one hundred percent (100%) of the current replacement cost of the Buildings
and any other property covered on the required form of policy or the maximum
limit of coverage available under the National Insurance Act of 1968, as
amended.
32
<PAGE>
(ix) "Agreed Amount" and "Inflation Guard" endorsements.
8.1.2 If, at the time of a loss insured under an insurance policy
purchased by the Association, the loss is also insured under an insurance policy
purchased by a Unit Owner, the Association's policy shall provide primary
coverage.
8.2 FIDELITY BONDS.
8.2.1 The Association shall maintain blanket fidelity bonds for all
officers, directors, trustees and employees of the Association and all other
persons handling or responsible for funds of or administered by the Association
including, but without limitation, officers, directors and employees of any
management agent of the Association, whether or not they receive compensation
for their services. The total amount of the fidelity bonds maintained by the
Association shall be based upon the best business judgment of the Board of
Directors, and shall not be less than the greater of the estimated maximum
funds, including reserve funds, in the custody of the Association or the
management agent, as the case may be, at any given time during the term of each
bond, or the sum equal to three months aggregate Common Expense Assessments on
all Units plus reserve funds. Fidelity bonds obtained by the Association must
also meet the following requirements:
(i) The fidelity bonds shall name the Association as an
obligee;
(ii) The bonds shall contain waivers by the issuers of the
bonds of all defenses based upon the exclusion of persons serving without
compensation from the definition of "employees" or similar terms or expressions;
(iii) The bonds shall provide that they may not be cancelled or
substantially modified (including cancellation from nonpayment of premium)
without at least ten (10) days prior written notice to the Association and each
First Mortgagee.

Association to maintain its own fidelity bond in an amount equal to or greater
than the amount of the fidelity bond to be maintained by the Association
pursuant to SUBSECTION 8.2.1 of this Declaration. The fidelity bond maintained
by the management agent shall cover funds maintained in bank accounts of the
management agent and shall name the Association as an obligee.
8.3 PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS. Premiums for all insurance obtained by the
Association pursuant to this Article shall be Common Expenses and shall be paid
for by the Association.
8.4 INSURANCE OBTAINED BY UNIT OWNERS. The issuance of insurance policies
to the Association pursuant to this Article shall not prevent a Unit Owner from
obtaining insurance for its own benefit and at its own expense covering its
Unit, its personal property and providing personal liability coverage.
33
<PAGE>
8.5 PAYMENT OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. Any loss covered by property insurance
obtained by the Association in accordance with this Article shall be adjusted
with the Association and the insurance proceeds shall be payable to the
Association and not to any mortgagee or beneficiary under a deed of trust. The
Association shall hold any insurance proceeds in trust for Unit Owners and
lienholders as their interests may appear, and the proceeds shall be disbursed
and applied as provided for in A.R.S. ss. 33-1253.
8.6 CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE. An insurer that has issued an insurance
policy pursuant to this Article shall issue certificates or memoranda of
insurance to the Association and, on written request, to any Unit Owner or First
Mortgagee. The insurer issuing the policy shall not cancel or refuse to renew it
until thirty (30) days after notice of the proposed cancellation or nonrenewal
has been mailed to the Association, each Unit Owner, and each First Mortgagee to
whom a certificate or memorandum of insurance has been issued at their
respective last known addresses.
8.7 DELEGATION OF INSURANCE RESPONSIBILITY. The Association shall be deemed
to have complied with its obligations under this ARTICLE 8 if the insurance
required by the terms hereof is obtained by the Hotel Operator. Any such
insurance may include the Hotel Operator as a named insured and any such
insurance may include business interruption insurance to the extent required in
any Hotel Operating and Rental Pool Agreement.

development of the real property covered thereby and hereby evidences his intent
that all the restrictions, conditions, covenants, easements, rules and
regulations contained in the Condominium Documents shall run with the land and
be binding on all subsequent and future Unit Owners, grantees, purchasers,
assignees, and transferees thereof. Furthermore, each such person fully
understands and acknowledges that the Condominium Documents shall be mutually
beneficial, prohibitive and enforceable by the various subsequent and future
Unit Owners. Declarant, its successors, assigns and grantees, covenants and
agrees that no Unit and the membership in the Association and the other rights

<PAGE>
11.9 GENDER. The singular, wherever used in this Declaration, shall be
construed to mean the plural when applicable, and the necessary grammatical
changes required to make the provisions of this Declaration apply either to
corporations or individuals, or men or women, shall in all cases be assumed as
though in each case fully expressed.
11.10 TOPIC HEADINGS. The marginal or topical headings of the sections
contained in this Declaration are for convenience only and do not define, limit
or construe the contents of the sections or of this Declaration.
11.11 SURVIVAL OF LIABILITY. The termination of membership in the
Association shall not relieve or release any such former Unit Owner or Member
from any liability or obligation incurred under, or in any way connected with,
the Association during the period of such ownership or membership, or impair any
rights or remedies which the Association may have against such former Unit Owner
or Member arising out of, or in any way connected with, such ownership or
membership and the covenants and obligations incident thereto.

Unit, the liabilities and obligations of each of the joint Unit Owners set forth

11.14 GUESTS AND TENANTS. Each Unit Owner shall be responsible for
compliance by his agents, tenants, guests, invitees, licensees and their
respective servants, agents, and employees with the provisions of the
Condominium Documents. A Unit Owner's failure to insure compliance by such
Persons shall be grounds for the same action available to the Association or any
other Unit Owner by reason of such Unit Owner's own noncompliance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Unit Owner shall be responsible for the acts
or omissions of any Guest who may occupy the Unit Owner's Unit.
11.15 ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event the Declarant, the Association or any
Unit Owner employs an attorney or attorneys to enforce a lien or to collect any
amounts due from a Unit Owner or to enforce compliance with or recover damages

prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled to recover from the other
party his reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in the action.

provision of the Condominium Documents, all days shall be counted including
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays; provided, however, that if the final day of any

deemed to be the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or holiday.

irrevocably consents to the use by any other nonprofit corporation which may be
formed or incorporated by Declarant of a corporate name which is the same or
deceptively similar to the name of the Association provided one or more words
are added to the name of such other corporation to make the name of the
Association distinguishable from the name of such other corporation. Within five
(5) days after being requested to do so by the Declarant, the Association shall
sign such letters, documents or other writings as may be required by the Arizona
Corporation Commission in order for any other nonprofit corporation formed or
incorporated by the Declarant to use a corporate name which is the same or
deceptively similar to the name of the Association.
11.18 NOTICE OF VIOLATION. The Association shall have the right to record a
written notice of a violation by any Unit Owner of any restriction or provision
of the Condominium Documents. The notice shall be executed and acknowledged by
an officer of the Association and shall contain substantially the following
information: (i) the name of the Unit Owner; (ii) the legal description of the
Unit against which the notice is being recorded; (iii) a brief description of
the nature of the violation; (iv) a statement that the notice is being recorded
by the Association pursuant to this Declaration; and (v) a statement of the
specific steps which must be taken by the Unit Owner to cure the violation.
Recordation of a Notice of Violation shall serve as a notice to the Unit Owner
and to any subsequent purchaser of the Unit that there is a violation of the
provisions of the Condominium Documents. If, after the recordation of such
notice, it is determined by the Association that the violation referred to in
the notice does not exist or that the actual violation referred to in the notice
has been cured, the Association shall record a notice of compliance which shall
state the legal description of the Unit against which the Notice of Violation
was recorded, the recording data of the Notice of Violation, and shall state
that the violation referred to in the notice of violation has been cured, or if
such be the case, that it did not exist.
11.19 NO ABSOLUTE LIABILITY. No provision of the Condominium Documents
shall be interpreted or construed as imposing on any Unit Owner absolute
liability for damage to the Common Elements or the Units. A Unit Owner shall
only be responsible for damage to the Common Elements or Units caused by such
Unit Owner's negligence or intentional acts.
