AVAILABLE INFORMATION
El Conquistador Partnership L.P. (the 'Partnership') has filed a
Registration Statement (which term shall include any amendment thereto) on Form
S-11 (the 'Registration Statement') under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the 'Securities Act'), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
'Commission') with respect to the offering (the 'Offering') of the undivided
interests in the Loan Agreement between Puerto Rico Industrial, Tourist,
Educational, Medical and Environmental Control Facilities Financing Authority
('AFICA') and the Partnership relating to certain AFICA tourism revenue bonds
(the 'Bonds'). This Official Statement and Prospectus does not contain all of
the information set forth in the Registration Statement and the exhibits and
schedules thereto, certain parts of which have been omitted in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the Commission, and reference is hereby made to the
Registration Statement, including the exhibits and schedules thereto, for
further information with respect to the Bonds. Summaries and other statements
contained herein concerning the provisions of any document are not necessarily
complete, and in each instance reference is hereby made to the copy of the
document included in this Official Statement and Prospectus or filed as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement.
The Registration Statement and the exhibits and schedules thereto can be
inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the

Following consummation of the Offering, the Partnership will be subject to
the informational reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the 'Exchange Act'), during the current fiscal year by reason of the
public offering and the issuance of the Bonds. In accordance with the Exchange
Act, the Partnership will file with the Commission the reports and other
information required to be filed under the Exchange Act. The Partnership
anticipates, however, that it will not be subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act in future fiscal years pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act; however, the Partnership will continue to file copies of its
annual reports and certain other information, documents and reports specified in
Rule 15c2-12 promulgated under the Exchange Act so long as the Bonds are

SUMMARY
This Summary highlights selected information from this Official Statement
and Prospectus. It may not contain all of the information that is important to
you. To understand the terms of the Bonds, you should carefully read this
Official Statement and Prospectus, including the financial statements and the
notes to the financial statements of the Partnership. No person is authorized to
detach this Summary from this Official Statement and Prospectus or otherwise to
use it without the entire Official Statement and Prospectus.
The Partnership changed its fiscal year-end to December 31 from March 31
effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. The Partnership has
provided information for the 12-month period ended March 31, 1998 throughout
this Official Statement and Prospectus. The Partnership believes that
information for the 12-month period ended March 31 is a more accurate reflection
of its results of operations and makes the information more easily compared to
prior years. This belief is based on the fact that the Partnership's business is
seasonal with the high season occurring primarily in the fiscal quarter ended
March 31.
THE BONDS
Title of Security. $100,000,000* Puerto Rico Industrial, Tourist,
Educational, Medical and Environmental Control Facilities Financing Authority
Tourism Revenue Bonds, 1998 Series A (El Conquistador Resort Project) (the
'Bonds').
The Issuer. Puerto Rico Industrial, Tourist, Educational, Medical and
Environmental Control Facilities Financing Authority ('AFICA'), a governmental
instrumentality of Puerto Rico. See 'AFICA.'
Use of Proceeds. AFICA will issue the Bonds and lend the proceeds thereof
to the Partnership pursuant to the loan agreement (the 'Loan Agreement'). The
Partnership will use the loan proceeds to repay an interim loan and interest
thereon (the 'Interim Financing') made by Citicorp Real Estate, Inc. ('CRE'), to
fund certain reserves and to pay certain costs and expenses of issuing the
Bonds. The proceeds of the Interim Financing were used to repay The Bank of
Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. for advances made by it to redeem outstanding bonds
issued by AFICA in 1991 as part of the financing for the development and
construction of the El Conquistador Resort & Country Club (the 'Resort').
Details of Bonds. The Bonds will be issued in the total principal amount of
$100,000,000. The Bonds will consist of serial bonds (the 'Serial Bonds') and
term bonds (the 'Term Bonds'). The Bonds will be issued in the principal
amounts, bear interest at the rates, and mature on the dates shown on the inside
front cover page of this Official Statement and Prospectus. The Bonds will be
issued pursuant to a trust agreement (the 'Trust Agreement') between AFICA and
Banco Santander Puerto Rico, as trustee (the 'Trustee'). The Bonds will be
issued in registered form, without coupons, in denominations which are multiples
of $5,000. The Bonds will be registered under The Depository Trust Company
Book-Entry Only System. This means that you will not receive a certificate for
any Bonds you purchase. Your ownership interest in the Bonds will be recorded in
the Book-Entry Only System. See 'THE BONDS -- Book-Entry Only System.'
Interest on the Bonds. Interest on the Bonds will be paid monthly on the
first day of each month, commencing on , 1999. Additionally,
interest will be paid upon maturity or redemption. Interest will be computed
using a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest will be paid to the
registered owners of the Bonds (the 'Bondholders' or 'Holders').
Sources of Payment. The Bonds are payable solely from monies paid by the
Partnership pursuant to the Loan Agreement and from such other amounts payable
to the Trustee (as defined)
- ------------
* Preliminary, subject to change.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
pursuant to the Trust Agreement (as defined) and the Security Agreements (as
defined). See 'RISK FACTORS -- Sources of Payment and Security for the Bonds.'
Bonds are Limited Obligations of AFICA. The Bonds do not constitute an
indebtedness of Puerto Rico or any of its political subdivisions. Neither Puerto
Rico nor any of its subdivisions will be liable for payment of the Bonds, except
that AFICA is required to pay the Bonds solely out of payments made by the
Partnership under the Loan Agreement.
Security for the Bonds. The Bonds will be secured by a lien on
substantially all the assets of the Partnership.
Mandatory Redemption of Bonds. Some or all of the Bonds may be required to
be redeemed if all or a portion of the Resort is condemned or damaged. Some or
all of the Bonds are required to be redeemed if the Resort stops operating or if
there is a second occurrence of an Event of Taxability. See 'THE
BONDS -- Redemption.'
An Event of Taxability will occur when AFICA and the Trustee receive an
accountants' report stating that the Partnership failed to comply with certain
of its obligations under the Loan Agreement and as a result of such failure
interest on the Bonds is taxable to you. See 'SUMMARY OF THE LOAN
AGREEMENT -- Maintenance of Source of Income; Additional Interest Upon Event of
Taxability.'
In addition, the Term Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption in part.
See 'THE BONDS -- Redemption -- Mandatory Redemption Other than Upon Event of
Taxability' for a schedule of Term Bond redemptions.
The Serial Bonds mature as set forth on the inside front cover of this
Official Statement and Prospectus.
Optional Redemption of Bonds. The Partnership has the right to redeem all
or part of the Bonds, on and after , 2008, at the redemption
prices set forth below (expressed as a percentage of the outstanding principal
amount of such Bonds), plus accrued interest to the redemption date:

RISK FACTORS
The Bonds are subject to certain risks that could affect the ability of the
Partnership to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. You should review
the section entitled 'RISK FACTORS' for a discussion of certain risks associated
with an investment in the Bonds. Some of these risks are:
The ability of the Partnership to meet its debt service obligations is
dependent on the future performance of the Resort.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The Partnership is not diversified: it has a single asset -- the Hotel, in
a single location -- Puerto Rico, and operates in a single industry -- the
resort hotel industry.
The operations and revenues of the Resort are affected by a number of
factors that are outside of the control of the Partnership, including
competition, seasonality of the hotel industry, potential overbuilding in
the industry, general economic conditions, weather conditions, droughts
and water shortages, hurricanes and other natural disasters, and the cost
and availability of labor, insurance and utilities.
Properties like the Hotel are relatively difficult to sell, which may
affect the ability of Bondholders to foreclose on and sell the Hotel in
the event such actions were necessary to pay the Bonds.
There is no assurance that there will be a secondary market for the Bonds.
The Hotel Operator is an affiliate of the Partnership, also operates other
hotel and resort properties in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean and,
therefore, there is a potential for conflicts of interest to arise.
TAX MATTERS
Provided the Partnership complies with certain terms of the Loan
Agreement, it is the opinion of Fiddler Gonzalez & Rodriguez, LLP, Bond
Counsel, that the Bonds and the interest on the Bonds are exempt from or
not subject to:
(1) Puerto Rico income taxes and municipal property and license taxes,
(2) under certain circumstances, Puerto Rico gift and estate taxes,
and
(3) United States income tax when received by:
(a) individuals who are bona fide residents of Puerto Rico during
the entire taxable year in which such interest is received, or
(b) under certain circumstances, foreign corporations, including
Puerto Rico corporations.
If you have to pay United States income tax on the interest paid on the
Bonds because the Partnership fails to comply with certain provisions of the
Loan Agreement, the Partnership will be required to pay an additional amount to
you. The additional amount plus the actual interest paid on the Bonds will not
exceed 12% of the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds during any taxable
year of the Partnership. The additional amount that the Partnership may be
required to pay to you if the interest on the Bonds becomes taxable in the
United States may not be enough for you to have as much income after payment of
taxes as you would have had if the interest remained tax free. See 'THE
BONDS -- Mandatory Redemption Upon Event of Taxability' and 'SUMMARY OF THE LOAN
AGREEMENT Maintenance -- of Source of Income; Additional Interest Upon Event of
Taxability.'
RATING
The Bonds are expected to be rated 'Baa2' by Moody's Investors Service,
Inc. ('Moody's' or the 'Rating Agency'). There is no assurance that such rating
will remain in effect for any given period of time or that it will not be
revised downward or withdrawn entirely by Moody's if, in its sole judgment,
circumstances so warrant.
UNDERWRITER
The Underwriter of the Bonds is Citicorp Financial Services Corporation,
Citibank Center, Lomas Verdes Avenue, Cupey, Puerto Rico. The Underwriter has
agreed to purchase the Bonds at an aggregate discount of $ from the
initial offering price of the Bonds shown (or derived
5
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
from information shown) on the inside front cover page of this Official
Statement and Prospectus. See 'UNDERWRITING.'
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
The Partnership will enter into an undertaking for the benefit of the
Holders and the Beneficial Owners (as defined) of the Bonds to file certain
financial information on an annual basis with and to provide notice of certain
events to certain nationally recognized municipal securities information
repositories and any Puerto Rico state information depository pursuant to Rule
15c2-12 promulgated by the Commission under the Exchange Act. See 'CONTINUING
DISCLOSURE COVENANT.'
EFFECT OF HURRICANE GEORGES
Hurricane Georges passed through Puerto Rico on September 21 and 22, 1998.
The Hurricane caused approximately $36,000,000 of property related damage to the
Resort. As a result of the damage, the Resort was closed from September 21, 1998
until October 3, 1998. The Partnership believes that its physical damage and
business interruption are fully covered by insurance, subject to a deductible.

RISK FACTORS
In considering whether to purchase the Bonds, you should consider the
matters discussed in this section in addition to the other information in this
Official Statement and Prospectus.
Any statements in this Official Statement and Prospectus that are not
strictly historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. These
statements include, among other things, statements regarding the intent, belief
or expectations of the Partnership with respect to (1) the ownership, management
and operation of the Resort, (2) risks associated with the hotel industry and
real estate markets in general, (3) the availability of debt and equity
financing, (4) interest rates, (5) general economic conditions and (6) trends
affecting the Partnership's financial condition or results of operations.
You are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements reflect the
Partnership's good faith beliefs and they are not guarantees of future
performance. They involve known and unknown risks, and actual results may differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various
factors. The accompanying information contained in this Official Statement and
Prospectus, including the information set forth below, identify important
factors that could cause such differences.
PAYMENT RISKS
Substantial Debt Service. At June 30, 1998, after making pro forma
adjustments to the actual balance sheet of the Partnership to give effect to the
Offering, the repayment of the Interim Financing and certain related
transactions, total short-term and long-term indebtedness of the Partnership was
approximately $160,679,000 consisting of the following:
$100,000,000 of the Bonds, which are secured by substantially all of the
assets of the Partnership;
$32,021,172 owed to Posadas de Puerto Rico Associates, Incorporated, an
affiliate of the Partnership and the Hotel Operator;
$726,208 of equipment financing debt;
$13,064,496 of loans and accrued interest owed to the partners of the
Partnership;
$8,805,874 of incentive management fees owed to WHGI;
$951,441 of interest on the incentive management fees owed to WHGI; and
$5,110,052 of loans and accrued interest owed to WHGI.
The aggregate annual interest costs and expenses in respect of such
indebtedness is approximately $10,830,000, of which approximately $6,388,000 is
paid on a current basis and the balance of $4,442,000 is deferred. All of the
amounts set forth above other than with respect to the Bonds and equipment
financing debt are subordinate to the payment of principal of and interest on
the Bonds. That means that current interest and principal on the Bonds must be
paid first and if the Partnership defaults on its obligations to pay the Bonds,
interest and principal on the Bonds must be paid first. The principal of and
interest on the Bonds are payable at the times set forth on the inside front
cover of this Official Statement and Prospectus. There can be no assurance that
at the time such payments become due the Partnership will have the funds
necessary to make such payments. If the Resort is unable to generate sufficient
cash flow from operations, the Partnership may be required to obtain additional
equity contributions or refinance its outstanding debt or obtain additional
financing. There can be no assurance that any such equity contributions or
refinancing would be possible or that any additional financing, if available,
could be obtained on terms that would be favorable or acceptable to the
Partnership.
Restrictive Provisions in the Loan Agreement and Related Documents. The
Loan Agreement and the related collateral documents restrict in certain
circumstances incurrence of additional indebtedness, creation of additional
liens, disposition of certain assets, engagements in mergers and the entry into
additional transactions with affiliates. These restrictions could limit the
ability of the
9
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Partnership to respond to changing market and economic conditions and provide
for capital expenditures or additional financing.
Limitation on Additional Interest Upon an Event of Taxability. The
additional amount that the Partnership may be required to pay to you if the
interest on the Bonds becomes taxable in the United States may not be enough for
you to have as much income after payment of taxes as you would have had if the
interest remained tax free. There can be no assurance that the Partnership, if
required, will have the necessary cash to make any such additional payments. See
'SUMMARY OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT -- Maintenance of Source of Income; Additional
Interest Upon Event of Taxability.'
Enforcement of Remedies. In the case of an event of default under the Trust
Agreement, the Trustee may proceed to enforce any remedies under the Trust
Agreement, the Loan Agreement, or the Security Agreements. Any foreclosure and
other proceedings are dependent, in many respects, upon judicial action which is
subject to discretion or delay. Under existing laws and judicial decisions,
including the United States Bankruptcy Code, the remedies specified under the
Trust Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the Security Agreements may not be
readily available or may be limited. In addition, no assurances can be given
that the proceeds of any sale of the Resort upon a foreclosure will be
sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds. See 'SUMMARY OF THE
LOAN AGREEMENT -- Events of Default and Remedies.'
Prepayment. The Bonds may be required to be prepaid following an
acceleration upon the occurrence of certain events of default under the Loan
Agreement and the Trust Agreement. See 'THE BONDS -- Redemption.'
HOTEL INDUSTRY RISKS
Operating Risks. The sole business of the Partnership is the ownership of
the Hotel. The Resort's ability to generate sufficient revenues to pay expenses
of operation and the Partnership's debt service obligations, including the
Bonds, has certain risks. These risks include, among other things:
competition for guests from other hotels, a number of which may have
greater marketing and financial resources and experience than the
Partnership or the Hotel Operator;
increases in operating costs due to inflation and other factors which may
not be offset in the future by increased room rates;
dependence on business and commercial travelers and tourism, which may
fluctuate and is seasonal;
increases in costs of travel, which may deter travelers;
adverse effects of general and local economic conditions; and
dependence on the Hotel Operator for the marketing and management of the
Resort.
These factors could adversely affect the ability of the Resort to generate
revenues and, therefore, for the Partnership to make payments with respect to
principal of and interest on the Bonds.
Operating Costs and Capital Expenditures; Hotel Renovations. The Resort
requires substantial ongoing expenditures to replace furniture and equipment and
redecorate or upgrade the Hotel in order to continue to provide first-class
facilities to its guests. Capital expenditures in the past have been as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
12 months ended March 31, 1998.................................................. $2,554,000
Fiscal year ended March 31, 1997................................................ $1,428,000
Fiscal year ended March 31, 1996................................................ $ 864,000
Fiscal year (9 months) ended December 31, 1997.................................. $1,890,000
Nine months ended December 31, 1996............................................. $1,623,000
Six months ended June 30, 1998.................................................. $2,800,000
Six months ended June 30, 1997.................................................. $ 58,000
</TABLE>
10
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Capital expenditures at the Hotel in 1996 were low due to the newness of
the facility. Capital expenditures at the Hotel have been budgeted as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Fiscal year ending December 31, 1998............................................ $8,200,000
Fiscal year ending December 31, 1999............................................ $4,000,000
</TABLE>
As of August 31, 1998, $5,134,576 of this year's capital expenditure budget
had been spent. The capital expenditure budget for fiscal year 1998 includes
amounts budgeted for the construction of a spa at the Resort. See 'THE
RESORT -- Golden Door'r' Spa.' There can be no assurance that cash provided from
operations will be available in amounts sufficient to meet the Hotel's future
capital expenditure requirements.
Additionally, as a result of Hurricane Georges, approximately $36,000,000
is required to make repairs and replacements to the Hotel. All but approximately
$100,000 of such amount is covered by insurance. For a complete description of
the damage caused by Hurricane Georges at the Resort, see ' -- Uncontrollable
Events' and 'MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- Recent Developments.'
Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Partnership is obligated to
establish a reserve to pay the cost of capital expenditures at the Hotel and pay
for periodic replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment.
If capital expenditures exceed the Partnership's expectations, additional costs
could have an adverse effect on the Partnership's cash available for payment of
principal and interest on the Bonds.
Seasonality. Tourism in Puerto Rico is at its peak during the months of
December through April. Occupancy levels and room rates are lower during the
balance of the year. Successful operation of the Resort is dependent in large
part to a successful high season, the ability of the Resort to attract guests
during the off-season months and careful management of costs throughout the
year. Efforts are made by the Hotel Operator to actively market during
off-season months so as to minimize the effects of seasonality. There can be no
assurance that such efforts will be successful.
UNCONTROLLABLE EVENTS
Hurricanes and other natural disasters, airline strikes, droughts and water
shortages, civil unrest, acts of war, and other uncontrollable events may
adversely affect occupancy levels at the Resort. Such events could adversely
affect cash flows and profits of the Partnership. The Hotel is particularly
vulnerable to these types of events because of its high debt service
requirements. The Partnership cannot predict the effect an uncontrollable event
may have on the Resort or the Partnership's financial condition.
Hurricane Georges passed through Puerto Rico on September 21 and 22, 1998.
Hurricane Georges caused approximately $36,000,000 of property related damage at
the Hotel, substantially all of which is covered by insurance. The Resort has
also lost approximately 2,500 group room nights as a result of Hurricane
Georges. The Partnership believes such room night losses will be covered by its
business interruption insurance. As a result of Hurricane Georges, the Resort
was closed from September 21, 1998 through October 3, 1998. Additionally, the
majority of condominium units of Las Casitas Village were damaged and will not
be available to the Resort until approximately November 1, 1998. Puerto Rico
itself and other hotel properties on the island also suffered extensive damage
from Hurricane Georges. As a result, travelers' perception of Puerto Rico as a
leisure destination may be adversely affected for the 1998/1999 tourist season.
The Resort could lose additional room nights as a result of this perception,
which may or may not be covered by its business interruption insurance. The
Partnership believes that the Resort will be completely repaired in time for its
high season which begins in December. However, the Partnership cannot predict
the effect that Hurricane Georges will have on its future bookings. To the
extent that additional group and leisure travelers with reservations cancel
their plans to come to the Resort or additional travelers do not make
reservations as a result of Hurricane Georges, such lost bookings could have a
material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial condition and
11

results of operations. See 'MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- Recent Developments.'
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT RISKS
General Risks. The Partnership's investment in the Resort is subject to
varying degrees of risk generally incident to the ownership of real property.
The underlying value of the Partnership's investment in the Resort and its
income and ability to make payments of principal and interest on the Bonds will
depend on the ability of the Hotel Operator to operate the Resort in a manner
sufficient to maintain or increase revenues and to generate sufficient income in
excess of operating expenses for payment of principal of and interest on the
Bonds. Income from the Resort may be adversely affected by changes in national
economic conditions, changes in local market conditions due to changes in
general or local economic conditions, the impact of present or future
environmental legislation and compliance with environmental laws, the ongoing
need for capital improvements, changes in real estate tax rates and other
operating expenses, adverse changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies,
adverse changes in zoning laws, and other events (which may result in uninsured
losses), which are beyond the control of the Partnership.
Property Taxes. The Resort is subject to real property taxes. The real
property taxes on the Resort may increase or decrease as property tax rates
change and as the value of the property is assessed or reassessed by taxing
authorities. If property taxes increase as a result of such reassessments, the
Partnership's ability to make payments on the Bonds could be adversely affected.
Currently, the Partnership is in negotiations with the Municipal Revenue
Collection Center ('CRIM') in Fajardo, Puerto Rico concerning the real property
taxes on the Hotel. The negotiations concern the valuation computation used by
CRIM to assess real property taxes. The Partnership has accrued amounts with
respect to real property taxes for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1995, 1996
and 1997 and the fiscal year ended (9 months) December 31, 1997, which the
Partnership believes will be sufficient to pay its real property taxes once
negotiations with CRIM are completed.
Environmental Matters. The operating costs of the Partnership may be
affected by the obligation to pay for the cost of complying with existing
environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, as well as the cost of complying
with future legislation. Under various federal and Puerto Rico environmental
laws, ordinances and regulations, 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 often impose
liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for,
the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Persons who arrange for the
transportation, disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also
be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances. Certain
environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability
for releases of hazardous materials into the environment, and third parties may
seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury
associated with exposure to released hazardous materials. In connection with the
ownership and operation of the Resort, the Partnership or the Hotel Operator may
be potentially liable for any such costs. The cost of defending against claims
of liability or remediating contaminated property and the cost of complying with
environmental laws could materially adversely affect the Partnership's results
of operations and financial condition. The Partnership is not aware of any
potential environmental liability or compliance concerns that it believes would
have a material adverse effect on its business, assets, results of operations or
liquidity.
Compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act. Under the Americans with
Disabilities Act (the 'ADA'), all public accommodations are required to meet
certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. A
determination that the Resort is not in compliance with the ADA could result in
the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. If the
Partnership were required to make material modifications to the Hotel to comply
with the ADA, the ability of the Partnership to make payments on the Bonds could
be adversely affected. The
12
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Partnership has not been notified, and it has no other knowledge of, any
material non compliance, liability or claim under the ADA with respect to the
Resort.
Uninsured and Underinsured Losses. The Loan Agreement specifies
comprehensive insurance to be maintained on the Hotel, including liability, fire
and extended coverage. If such insurance is not maintained, the Bonds may be
accelerated. The Partnership believes that its insurance is adequate for its
business. However, there are certain types of losses, generally of a
catastrophic nature, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and floods, that may be
uninsurable or not economically insurable. The Partnership currently has
hurricane insurance and anticipates making a claim of approximately $36,000,000
as a result of Hurricane Georges for property related damage to the Hotel.
Additionally, the Partnership will make a claim under its business interruption
insurance policy as a result of the loss of business caused by Hurricane
Georges. The Partnership believes that after such claims are made it will
continue to be covered for damages and business interruptions as a result of
future hurricanes. However, there can be no assurance that such insurance will
continue to be available or affordable. This may result in insurance coverage
that, in the event of a substantial loss, would not be sufficient to pay the
full current market value or current replacement cost of the loss. Inflation,
changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and
other factors also might make it infeasible to use insurance proceeds to replace
the property after such property has been damaged or destroyed. Under such
circumstances, the insurance proceeds received by the Partnership might not be
adequate to restore its economic position with respect to Hotel.
Additionally, in the event the Hotel is damaged or destroyed to the extent
that a mandatory prepayment of the Bonds is required pursuant to the Loan
Agreement, the insurance proceeds received by the Partnership together with
other funds available to it might not be sufficient to repay the principal of
and interest on the Bonds to the extent so required.
Limited Use of Resort. The Resort may not be suitable for purposes other
than a vacation and convention resort. As a result, in the event of a default,
acceleration of the Bonds and any resulting foreclosure sale of the Resort, the
Trustee's remedies and the number of entities which could purchase the Resort
would be limited, and the sales price generated thereby might be adversely
affected.
DEPENDENCE ON THE HOTEL OPERATOR AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST BETWEEN THE
PARTNERSHIP AND THE HOTEL OPERATOR
The Partnership has historically been managed by WHGI. Concurrently with
the acquisition of its interest in the Partnership, Wyndham acquired a majority
interest in WHGI. Although the executive employees of WHGI have remained, both
the Partnership and WHGI have had a change in ownership: WHGI is wholly owned by
Wyndham and the Partnership is owned by Patriot/Wyndham. Prior to consummation
of the Offering, the Partnership will enter into the Management Agreement with
WHGI which will provide for different terms, including different management
fees, from the prior management agreement. WHGI will enter into an agreement
with Wyndham Management with respect to the management of the Resort and the
marketing of the Hotel as a Wyndham Resort and the use of the Wyndham
reservation system for the Hotel. WHGI will also enter into a marketing
agreement with Grand Bay for the marketing of Las Casitas Village as a Grand Bay
hotel. The Management Agreement imposes on the Partnership certain obligations
to maintain the Resort and related facilities at certain quality levels. The
failure of the Partnership to adhere to such standards could result in the
cancellation of the Management Agreement or the loss of one or more of the brand
names. Such cancellation could have a material adverse effect on the
Partnership.
The Partnership depends solely on the Hotel Operator to manage and operate
the Resort. If the Management Agreement is terminated as a result of a default
or other reason, or if the Hotel Operator decides not to renew the Management
Agreement or the respective marketing agreements, the Hotel Operator would have
to be replaced. There is a possibility that a new hotel operator would be
obtained on terms not as favorable to the Partnership as those set forth in the
Management Agreement. The Managing General Partner has the responsibility for
obtaining the
13
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
services of an operator. However, the Managing General Partner is not itself
obligated to operate the Resort. Neither of the General Partners nor any of
their affiliates (other than the Hotel Operator) is legally responsible for the
performance of the obligations of WHGI under the Management Agreement and
Wyndham Management and Grand Bay under their arrangements with WHGI.
The terms and provisions of the Management Agreement were not negotiated on
an arm's-length basis; rather such terms and conditions have been set by the
Managing General Partner and the Hotel Operator, both of which are controlled by
Wyndham. Accordingly, the terms, provisions and compensation contained in the
Management Agreement may not reflect the fair market value of the services
rendered by the Hotel Operator.
The Partnership is subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of
its relationship with the Managing General Partner and the Hotel Operator, and
their respective affiliates. The Hotel Operator or one of its affiliates
operates other hotel and resort properties in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, as
well as other resort destinations. The management of multiple hotel and resort
properties could result in conflicts with respect to:
the direction of guests to properties other than the Resort;
the desire to maximize overall results of the Hotel Operator and its
affiliates rather than the results of the Resort; and
the availability to the Resort of personnel employed by the Hotel Operator
best suited to manage the Resort.
Such conflicts could result in certain actions or decisions that could have an
adverse effect on the Partnership. See 'CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS.'
RISKS OF OPERATING A HOTEL UNDER A BRAND AFFILIATION
The Hotel will soon begin operating under the Wyndham Resorts'r' brand name
and Las Casitas Village will soon begin operating under the Grand Bay'r' brand
name. The continued use of a brand is generally contingent upon the continuation
of the management arrangements related to the property with the branded
operator. If a brand affiliation is terminated, the Partnership may seek to
obtain a suitable replacement brand affiliation, or to operate the Hotel and/or
Las Casitas Village independent of a brand affiliation. The loss of a brand
affiliation could have a material adverse effect upon the operations or the
underlying value of the property covered by the brand affiliation because of the
loss of associated name recognition, marketing support and centralized
reservation systems provided by the brand owner. Operating under a brand name is
different from operating more or less independently as the Resort has done in
the past. The reputation and customer perception of the Resort will be
influenced by customers' experiences at other hotels having the same brand.
There is no assurance that the branding of the Hotel and Las Casitas Village
will have a positive affect on the Resort's operations or that the results of
operations in the past are necessarily indicative of future results of
operations. See 'THE RESORT -- Management and Marketing of the Resort.'
TOURISM TAX EXEMPTIONS
The Resort enjoys certain tax exemptions under the Puerto Rico Tourism
Incentive Acts. The grants provided under such acts accord tax exemptions to the
grantees for 10 years, which may be extended for an additional 10 years. The
Partnership was granted a tax exemption under the provisions of the Puerto Rico
Tourism Incentives Act of 1993. The exemptions do not apply to casino revenues.
The grants are conditioned upon continued compliance with various terms and
conditions set forth in the grants. Failure of the Partnership to comply with
these requirements could result in the revocation of the grant resulting in the
elimination of the exemptions. There can be no assurance that these exemptions
will continue to be available, and if changed, what effect a change would have
on the Partnership's financial condition or results of operations. See Note 10
to the Partnership's Financial Statements included elsewhere herein.
14
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
CASINO GAMING REGULATION
The ownership and operation of casinos in Puerto Rico is heavily regulated.
WHGI, on behalf of the Resort, was granted a casino franchise as an operator of
the casino at the Hotel. Additionally, certain of the individuals employed at
the Hotel are licensed to work in the casino. The casino is required to renew
its casino franchise quarterly. Unless a change of ownership of a franchisee has
occurred or regulators have reason to believe that reinvestigation of a
franchisee is necessary, renewal is generally automatic. Although WHGI has no
reason to believe that its current casino franchise will not be renewed, there
can be no assurance of such renewal. See 'THE RESORT -- Government Regulation
and Licensing.'
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The success of the Resort depends to a significant extent upon the
performance of the Hotel Operator and its ability to continue to attract,
motivate and retain highly-qualified employees. The loss of services of the
Hotel Operator or key employees could have a material adverse effect on the
Partnership. Competition for highly-skilled employees with management, marketing
and other specialized training in the hotel and casino business is intense,
especially in Puerto Rico and other parts of the Caribbean, and there can be no
assurance that the Hotel Operator will be successful in attracting and retaining
such personnel. Specifically, the Partnership may experience increased costs in
order to attract and retain skilled employees.
COMPETITION
The hotel and casino business in the Caribbean region is highly
competitive. The Resort competes with numerous hotels and resorts on the island
of Puerto Rico (including 18 other hotels and resorts with casinos) and on other
Caribbean and Bahamian islands as well as those in the southeastern United
States, Hawaii and Mexico. The Hotel competes with such chains as Hyatt,
Marriott, Hilton and Westin as well as numerous other hotel and resort chains
and independent hotel and motel operators. Las Casitas Village competes with
such chains as The Four Seasons Resorts and the Ritz Carlton. During the past
three years, five new hotels and casinos have opened in Puerto Rico alone and an
additional hotel and casino is expected to open in Puerto Rico during 1999.
The Resort is a large destination resort and competes for much of its group
business with other destination resorts located in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean,
the continental United States and Hawaii. The ability of the Resort to
effectively compete in this market depends on a number of factors including:
high quality service
aggressive marketing
competitive rates
varied facilities and accommodations
Continuous capital improvement programs are essential to stay current with
industry trends and maintain the Resort's market share. Many hotels with which
the Resort competes are owned or managed by hotel chains possessing
substantially greater financial and marketing resources than those of the
Partnership and Hotel Operator. There can be no assurance that the Resort will
effectively compete in the future. See 'THE RESORT -- Competition.'
RELIANCE ON SINGLE MARKET
The Resort is located in Fajardo, Puerto Rico. Any adverse events such as
hurricanes and other natural disasters, droughts and water shortages, labor
strikes and the like which may affect Puerto Rico generally will adversely
affect the Resort's entire business. Additionally, Puerto Rico is served by a
small number of airlines and the market is dominated by American Airlines. Any
adverse events in the airline industry as a whole, and especially to American
Airlines, including
15
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
airline strikes, increased fuel prices or accidents could have a material
adverse effect on the Partnership's business and financial condition.
The Partnership lacks asset diversification since the Resort is, and will
remain, its only property. The ability of the Partnership to comply with its
obligations under the Loan Agreement and the Trust Agreement, including its
obligation to pay principal and interest on the Bonds, depends primarily upon
the future operating revenues and expenses of the Resort. The Partnership's
financial condition may be affected by factors such as competition from other
resort hotels, seasonality of the hotel industry, potential over-building in the
hotel industry, inflation and other economic conditions, the existence of
favorable and economical air travel services, the cost and availability of
labor, the cost and availability of utilities, the cost and availability of
adequate insurance for risks such as property damage and general liability, and
other events beyond the Partnership's control.
ABSENCE OF SECONDARY MARKET FOR THE BONDS; RATING MAINTENANCE
The Partnership and AFICA do not intend to apply for listing of the Bonds
on a securities exchange. There is currently no secondary market for the Bonds.
There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop, or if it does
develop, that it will provide you with liquidity for your investment or that it
will continue for the life of the Bonds. If such a market were to exist, the
Bonds could trade at prices that may be lower than the initial market values
thereof depending on many factors, including prevailing interest rates and the
markets for similar securities.
The liquidity of, and trading market for, the Bonds also may be adversely
affected by general declines in the market for similar securities. Such a
decline may adversely affect such liquidity and trading markets independent of
the financial performance of, and prospects for, the Partnership.
There can be no assurance that the investment rating initially assigned to
the Bonds will not be lowered or withdrawn. Such a rating change could adversely
affect the value of and market for the Bonds. See 'RATING.'
16
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Bonds will be issued to provide for the repayment of the Interim
Financing, funding certain reserves and paying certain costs and expenses of
issuing the Bonds. The proceeds of the Interim Financing were used to repay The
Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. for advances it made to the Partnership to redeem
a portion of AFICA s Tourism Revenue Bonds, 1991 Series A and 1991 Series C (El
Conquistador Resort Project), in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
$120,000,000 (the 'Refunded Bonds') and to pay fees and expenses in connection
with the Interim Financing. The Refunded Bonds would have matured on March 9,
1999 and bore interest at floating rates. The Refunded Bonds were secured by,
among other things, a letter of credit issued by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi,
Ltd. The Refunded Bonds were subject to mandatory redemption on the interest
payment date preceding the expiration date of the letter of credit. The letter
of credit was scheduled to expire September 9, 1998 and the Refunded Bonds were
therefore redeemed on August 3, 1998.
The Interim Financing is due on November 3, 1998 and bears interest at the
LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Interim Financing documents) plus 225 basis points
(rounded to the nearest one-eighth percent (.125%)) per annum. The Interim
Financing may be extended under certain circumstances until March 15, 1999. Due
to the damage to the Resort from Hurricane Georges, the offering of the Bonds
has been delayed. Accordingly, the Partnership has requested an extension of the
Interim Financing.
The Partnership is indebted to the Government Development Bank for Puerto
Rico ('GDB') in the aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 pursuant to a term
loan. It is anticipated that contemporaneously with the issuance of the Bonds,
the indebtedness of the Partnership to GDB will be assumed by Patriot, which
beneficially owns approximately 77% of the Partnership.
Set forth below are the estimated sources and uses of proceeds with respect
to the sale of the Bonds:

THE RESORT
GENERAL
The Resort, a world class destination resort complex, is one of the leading
hotel and casino properties in Puerto Rico. The Hotel portion of the Resort has
751 guest rooms, an 18-hole championship golf course, a marina, seven tennis
courts, 90,000 square feet of convention and meeting facilities, six lounges and
nightclubs, 12 restaurants, a 10,000 square foot casino, 25 retail shops, a
fitness center and five pool areas, situated on a bluff overlooking the
convergence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.
The Resort also features a secluded beach located on a private island three
miles offshore commonly known as Palominos.
In addition, the Resort generally has available 90 condominium units known
as Las Casitas Village. Almost all of the owners of these condominiums have
entered into rental arrangements with the Partnership pursuant to which the
units are made available as additional guest rooms of the Resort. Las Casitas
Village provides up to another 167 rooms to the inventory of luxury rooms
available to the Resort, bringing the total available rooms at the Resort to
918. Guests at Las Casitas Village are able to enjoy all the facilities of the
Resort.
The Resort offers group and conference facilities for groups of up to 2,000
and also attracts the individual upscale leisure traveler. The upscale leisure
traveler is attracted to the Resort by the Caribbean climate and resort
amenities including the casino, swimming pools, whirlpools, tennis, golf and
water sports facilities, a health club and entertainment lounges. 'Blue Chip'
corporate and incentive groups comprise a significant portion of the Resort's
clientele due to its convention and meeting facilities as well as the other
Resort amenities.
The Resort has received the Gold Key Award by Meetings & Conventions
Magazine and the Paragon Award by Corporate Meetings & Incentives Magazine for
excellence in meetings and conventions. It has been awarded the American
Automobile Association 'Four Diamond' rating for each of its five years of
operation. Las Casitas Village at the Resort was awarded a 'Five Diamond' rating
(the highest rating) by the American Automobile Association commencing in the
fourth quarter of 1997.
The Hotel is expected to be marketed as a Wyndham Resort'r' commencing with
the 1998-99 winter season. As a Wyndham Resort, the Hotel will be included in
Wyndham's national and worldwide marketing campaigns and will be included in the
Wyndham reservation system. Las Casitas Village is expected to be marketed as a
Grand Bay'r' hotel also commencing with the 1998-99 winter season and will
likewise be included in Grand Bay's national and worldwide marketing campaigns.
Wyndham Management and Grand Bay have substantially greater marketing resources
than were available to the Resort in the past.
The PricewaterhouseCoopers Lodging Research Network has independently
ranked more than 40 U.S. hotel brands owned by publicly traded companies by
growth in revenue per available room for the second quarter of 1998 vs. the
year-earlier period. The Wyndham Resorts'r' brand was the top-performing upper
upscale hotel brand with revenues per available room growth of 37.5% in the
second quarter of 1998 versus the second quarter of 1997. The Grand Bay'r' brand
was the second-best performing upper upscale brand, with revenues per available
room growth of 12.3% during the period.
During the 12-month period ended March 31, 1998, the Hotel had an average
occupancy of 72.7% and gross revenues of $97,893,000. The Hotel finished its
third full fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 with an average occupancy of 72.0%
and gross revenues of $94,423,000. This compares to an average occupancy of
71.0% and gross revenues of $90,351,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996
and an average occupancy of 73.3% and gross revenues of $85,948,000 for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1995. During the fiscal year (9 months) ended
December 31, 1997, the Hotel had an average occupancy of 69.3% and gross
revenues of $60,713,000 compared to an average occupancy of 67.6% and gross
revenues of $59,158,000 during the corresponding 9-month period ended December
31, 1996. During the 6-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Hotel had
an average occupancy of 81.8% and 82.4%, respectively, and gross revenues of
$64,859,000 and $59,904,000, respectively.

During the 12-month period ended March 31, 1998 and the fiscal years ended
March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 daily room rates at the Hotel were $207.56,
$202.86, $198.99 and $188.87, respectively. The average daily room rates at the
Hotel during the fiscal year (9 months) ended December 31, 1997 and the 9-month
period ended December 31, 1996 were $175.59 and $175.01, respectively. During
the 6-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the average daily room rate at
the Hotel was $243.35 and $229.54, respectively.
During the 12-month period ended March 31, 1998 and the fiscal years ended
March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Hotel's capital expenditures for the purchase
of property and equipment were $2,554,000, $1,428,000, $864,000 and $3,002,000,
respectively. During the fiscal year (9 months) ended December 31, 1997 and the
9-month period ended December 31, 1996, the Hotel's capital expenditures for the
purchase of property and equipment were $1,890,000 and $1,623,000, respectively.
During the 6-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the capital
expenditures at the Hotel were $2,800,000 and $58,000, respectively.
The Resort has historically been managed by WHGI, an affiliate of the
Partnership. WHGI's sole business was the operation of the Resort and two other
Puerto Rico hotel properties owned by affiliates of the Partnership. As of
January 16, 1998, Wyndham acquired the majority interest in WHGI and in March
1998 acquired the remaining interests. Prior to consummation of the Offering,
the Partnership will enter into the Management Agreement with WHGI. Prior to the
Offering, WHGI will enter into an agreement with Wyndham Management with respect
to the management of the Resort and the marketing of the Hotel as a Wyndham
Resort'r'. WHGI will also enter into a marketing agreement with Grand Bay with
respect to the marketing of Las Casitas Village as a Grand Bay'r' hotel.
Set forth below is a chart which contains certain historical and financial
information concerning the Hotel:

(1) Financial information for this period is unaudited. The Partnership changed
its fiscal year-end to December 31 from March 31 effective for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1997.
ACCESS
The Resort is located on the northeast coast of Puerto Rico, approximately
35 miles east of the Luis Munoz Marin International Airport. Access from San
Juan and the Luis Munoz Marin International Airport to the Resort is provided by
Puerto Rico Highway 3, a four lane thoroughfare. The Luis Munoz Marin
International Airport is currently served by approximately 30 United States and
international airlines, including American Airlines, which uses San Juan as a
hub for its intra-Caribbean service. Frequent, scheduled passenger air services
connects Puerto Rico to the mainland United States, Europe and South America.
Flying time is 3 1/4 hours to New York, 2 1/4 hours to Miami, 1 1/2 hours to
Caracas and 8 hours to Europe. At present, according to the Official Airline
Guide, a recognized travel industry source, there is daily non-stop service
between San Juan and 17 United States cities, including, New York, Chicago,
Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, Boston and numerous others. There is also regularly
scheduled service between Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands and major
Latin American and European cities. The Partnership believes that the abundance
of non-stop flights to San Juan provides a major competitive advantage for
resorts in Puerto Rico over those elsewhere in the Caribbean.

CASINO CREDIT POLICY
The Resort's casino extends credit to qualified players who satisfy its
credit review procedures. The procedures include external credit verification
and internal management level approvals. Credit play at the Resort has not been
significant since its opening in November 1993 and credit losses have been
immaterial. Gaming debts are enforceable in Puerto Rico and the majority of
states in the United States. Those states that do not enforce gaming debts will
nonetheless generally allow enforcement of a judgment obtained in a jurisdiction
such as Puerto Rico. Due to the unenforceability generally of gaming debts in
Latin America, procedures have been established to obtain promissory notes from
most Latin American credit casino clients.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND LICENSING
Puerto Rico legalized gambling by the adoption of Law No. 221 on May 15,
1948 (the 'Gaming Act'). The Office of the Commissioner of Financial
Institutions of Puerto Rico is responsible for investigating and licensing
casino owners and the Gaming Division (the 'Gaming Division') of the Tourism
Company of Puerto Rico (the 'TCPR') regulates and supervises casino operations.
A government inspector must be on-site whenever a casino is open. Among its
responsibilities, the Gaming Division licenses all casino employees and enforces
regulations relating to method of play and operation of the casino. The casino
at the Resort is subject to strict internal controls imposed by the Partnership
and the Hotel Operator over all facets of its operations, including the handling
of cash and security measures. Each casino pays the government of Puerto Rico a
casino franchise fee depending on total play or drop in the casino, which fee
ranges from $50,000 to $200,000. The Resort pays an annual casino franchise fee
of $150,000 in equal quarterly installments. The casino is required to renew its
casino franchise quarterly; and, unless a change of ownership of the franchisee
has occurred or the gaming authorities have reason to believe that
reinvestigation of the franchisee is necessary, renewal is generally automatic.
The Resort is also subject to various local laws and regulations affecting
its business, including provisions relating to fire safety, sanitation, health
and the sale of alcoholic beverages.
SEASONALITY
Tourism in Puerto Rico is at its peak during the months of December through
April. Most hotels, despite reducing their room rates during the off-season
months, experience decreased occupancy and lower revenues. The Resort expects
that group business developed during the off-season and the shoulder-season will
reduce the effect of seasonality on its operations.
During the 12-month period ended March 31, 1998 and the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1997, the Hotel's monthly occupancy ranged from 54.7% to 85.0% and
47.1% to 85.5%, respectively, with an average occupancy of 72.7% and 72.0%,
respectively. During the fiscal year (9 months) ended December 31, 1997, the
Hotel's monthly occupancy ranged from 54.7% to 85.0% with an average occupancy
of 69.3% compared to monthly occupancy ranging from 47.1% to 84.2% and an
average occupancy of 67.6% for the 9-month period ended December 31, 1996.
During the 6-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Hotel's monthly
occupancy ranged from 73.6% to 86.9% and 74.2% to 88.2%, respectively, with an
average occupancy of 81.8% and 82.4%, respectively. The in-season average
occupancy for December 1997 to April 1998 was 78.5% compared to 79.8% and 77.1%
for the corresponding periods ending in April 1997 and April 1996, respectively.
COMPETITION
The hotel and casino business in the Caribbean region is highly
competitive. The Resort competes with other hotels and resorts on the island of
Puerto Rico and on other Caribbean and Bahamian islands and in the southeastern
United States, Hawaii and Mexico. The Resort competes with such chains as Hyatt,
Marriott, Hilton and Westin as well as numerous other hotel and resort chains
and independent hotel and motel operators. Las Casitas Village competes with
such chains as The Four Seasons Resorts and the Ritz Carlton. Some of these
competing properties are owned
20
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
or managed by hotel companies possessing substantially greater financial and
marketing resources than those of the Partnership and Hotel Operator.
The Partnership believes that Puerto Rico offers many advantages over
geographical areas in which competing properties are located. Unlike most other
Caribbean islands, Puerto Rico is served by many direct air flights from the
continental United States and has a highly developed economy and a well-educated
population. Moreover, Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth of the United States,
freeing mainland visitors from concerns about foreign currencies or customs and
immigration laws. Unlike resort areas in the southeastern United States, Puerto
Rico enjoys a mild subtropical climate throughout the year and offers legalized
gambling.
The resort hotels in Puerto Rico that most directly compete with the Resort
are the Hyatt Regency Cerromar Beach Resort & Casino with, according to the
Official Hotel Guide, 506 rooms, the Hyatt Dorado Beach Resort & Casino with,
according to the Official Hotel Guide, 298 rooms, and the Westin Rio Mar Beach
Resort & Country Club, which is also located in the northeastern section of
Puerto Rico with, according to the Official Hotel Guide, 600 rooms, all of which
offer services, meeting space and recreational facilities comparable to those
offered by the Resort. The Caribe Hilton Hotel located in San Juan, Puerto Rico
has recently announced significant renovation and expansion plans to position it
to compete with the Resort for group business. All of these hotels are beach
and, with the exception of the Caribe Hilton Hotel, golf resorts and have an
experienced hotel operator that has available to it major hotel chain resources.
The Resort competes with the foregoing resort hotels (as well as those in other
destination resort locales) on the basis of price, service, the extent and
quality of facilities, ease of access, and its ability to promote the Resort to
travel agents, meeting planners, and directly to the public. In this regard, the
Partnership expects to benefit from the marketing programs and reservation
services of Wyndham Management and Grand Bay.
EMPLOYEES
Approximately 1,490 persons are employed at the Resort, of whom 120 are
casino employees. None of the employees at the Resort is represented by labor
unions. The number of persons employed at the Resort varies from season to
season and is at its highest during the high season of December through April
when occupancy is at its highest. Under the Management Agreement all of the
persons employed at the Resort will be employees of the Hotel Operator, not the
Partnership. The Partnership will continue to bear all costs with respect to
employees at the Resort. The Partnership considers the current relationships
between the Resort and its employees to be satisfactory.
PROPERTY
The Hotel is situated on approximately 220 acres in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.
Additionally, an affiliate of the Partnership owns approximately 42 additional
acres of land in the vicinity of the Resort which has various uses including
employee parking facilities for the Resort. The following table sets forth the
material properties which constitute the Hotel as of the date hereof. The
Partnership believes that the properties listed in the following table are in
good repair and are adequate for their respective purposes. The Partnership owns
substantially all of the machinery, equipment, furnishings, goods and fixtures
used in its business, all of which are well maintained and satisfactory for the
purposes intended. Some of the Partnership's personal property utilized at the
Resort is subject to security interests held by third parties who financed the
acquisition of such property. The Partnership believes that its properties are
adequately covered by insurance.

MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING OF THE RESORT
The Partnership is a party to a management agreement with WHGI which
requires the Partnership to pay to WHGI a base management fee equal to 3.5% of
the Resort's gross revenues and an incentive management fee equal to 10% of the
Resort's gross operating profit. Payment of the incentive management fees are
subordinate to all obligations of the Partnership to third parties as well as
certain obligations to its partners. To date, payment of all incentive
management fees has been deferred. Prior to the acquisition of WHGI by Wyndham,
WHGI's sole business was primarily to manage three hotels in Puerto Rico: the
Resort, the El San Juan Hotel & Casino and the Condado Plaza Hotel & Casino.
Following Wyndham's acquisition of WHGI during 1998, the employees of WHGI
became employees of Wyndham and in many cases their responsibilities have
increased to include other properties operated by Wyndham. For the 12-month
period ended March 31, 1998 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, WHGI was
paid $3,426,000 and $3,305,000, respectively, in basic management fees and
earned $2,457,000 and $2,376,000, respectively, in incentive management fees.
For the fiscal year (9 months) ended December 31, 1997 and the 9-month period
ended December 31, 1996, WHGI was paid $2,125,000 and $2,071,000, respectively,
in basic management fees and earned $860,000 and $899,000, respectively, in
incentive management fees. For the 6-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
WHGI was paid $2,272,000 and $2,097,000, respectively, in basic management fees
and earned $2,403,000 and $2,064,000, respectively, in incentive management
fees. WHGI was also reimbursed for certain administrative expenses incurred in
connection with its management of the Resort.
Prior to the consummation of the Offering, the Partnership will enter into
the Management Agreement with WHGI, an affiliate of the Partnership, which will
expire in September 2013 for the management and marketing of the Resort. WHGI
will enter into an agreement with Wyndham Management with respect to the
management of the Resort and the marketing of the Resort (excluding Las Casitas
Village) as a Wyndham Resort. The term of the agreement between WHGI and Wyndham
Management will coincide with the term of the Management Agreement. WHGI will
also enter into a marketing agreement with Grand Bay with respect to the
marketing of Las Casitas Village as a Grand Bay hotel. The agreement between
WHGI and Grand Bay will be for a term of one year and will be renewable on a
yearly basis if both WHGI and Grand Bay consent to such renewal.
Under the Management Agreement, the Partnership will be required to pay to
WHGI a base management fee of 2.5% of the gross revenues of the Resort,
exclusive of room revenues from Las Casitas Village, and 3.0% of the gross room
revenues from Las Casitas Village. The Partnership is also required to pay a
trade name fee of 0.5% of gross room revenues of the Hotel, and marketing fees
of 1.5% of gross room revenues of the Hotel and 1.0% of the gross room revenues
of Las Casitas Village. In addition, the Partnership is solely responsible for
all of the expenses incurred by the Hotel Operator in connection with managing
and operating the Resort
22
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
and is solely responsible for its allocable share of the cost of the Hotel
Operator's national sales office efforts.
The Management Agreement provides that WHGI has exclusive supervision,
control and discretion in the management, maintenance and operation of the Hotel
and limited management responsibilities with respect to Las Casitas Village. The
Hotel Operator has sole responsibility and total discretion on all matters with
respect to the employees of the Resort and all such employees are employees of
the Hotel Operator or its affiliates, not the Partnership. All leases and
concession agreements relating to the Resort require the approval of each of the
Hotel Operator and the Partnership. The Hotel Operator is responsible for
providing repairs to and maintenance of the Resort, exclusive of Las Casitas
Village, the payment for which is reimbursed by the Partnership. The Hotel
Operator will notify the Partnership of the need for all capital improvements of
the Resort, exclusive of Las Casitas Village. However, completion of such
capital improvements is the responsibility of the Partnership. The Hotel
Operator may use its affiliates to furnish goods or services to the Resort, but
the terms of such arrangements must be no less favorable than those reasonably
obtainable from an unrelated party.
The Hotel Operator's business strategy is to maximize the economic
potential of the Resort. The Hotel Operator is constantly seeking new ways to
reduce operating costs as well as upgrade or add amenities to the Resort to
enhance the overall experience of its guests. One new restaurant and four new
retail shops were recently opened at the Resort. Additionally, the Resort will
be enhanced by a Golden Door'r' spa scheduled to open in time for the 1998/1999
winter season.
The Partnership believes that the Resort will benefit significantly from
the use of the Wyndham Resorts'r' and Grand Bay'r' trade names in the marketing
of the Resort and Las Casitas Village. The Hotel Operator promotes the multiple
products of Wyndham under a series of unified marketing programs and the
proprietary reservation system. As a result, Wyndham hotels enjoy a large market
presence significant enough to yield cost savings by leveraging functions such
as sales, marketing, reservations and advertising. According to industry
studies, the Wyndham Resorts'r' brand was the top performing upper upscale hotel
brand with respect to revenue per available room growth of 37.5% in the second
quarter of 1998 versus the second quarter of 1997. With respect to the luxury
Grand Bay hotels, the Hotel Operator's aim is to consistently deliver excellent
and personalized service and 'seek opportunities to create memories.' To better
position the Grand Bay'r' brand and to develop a unified luxury concept and
brand, the Hotel Operator developed and is currently implementing a unified
marketing program designed to position this brand as a collection of
distinctive, luxury hotels and resorts competing with other high-end products.
The Hotel Operator intends to initiate a multi-million dollar advertising
campaign during January 1999 (the 'Advertising Campaign'). The Advertising
Campaign will predominately feature the Resort as the flagship of the Wyndham
Resorts. The Hotel's portion of the cost of the Advertising Campaign will be
funded by the marketing fees paid by the Partnership to the Hotel Operator. The
Hotel Operator expects that the Advertising Campaign will increase the exposure
and awareness of the Resort and its amenities and, as a result, will increase
the occupancy rate and revenues of the Resort. There is no assurance, however,
that the Advertising Campaign will be a success with respect to either the
Wyndham Resorts as a whole or to the Resort specifically.
The Advertising Campaign may feature other Wyndham Resorts that compete
directly or indirectly with the Resort such as the Wyndham Aruba Beach Resort &
Casino in Palm Beach, Aruba, the Wyndham Rose Hall Golf & Beach Resort in
Montego Bay, Jamaica, the El San Juan Hotel & Casino in San Juan, Puerto Rico
and the Buena Vista Palace in Orlando, Florida. There are no assurances that the
Advertising Campaign will not result in a loss of Resort guests to other Wyndham
hotels.
Las Casitas Village will be branded as a Grand Bay hotel and, like other
Grand Bay hotels, will be marketed to the upper upscale traveler. All Grand Bay
hotels intend to install Golden Door'r' spas on the hotel premises. An
aggressive marketing campaign for Grand Bay hotels will be launched in early
1999 promoting Las Casitas Village as well as other Grand Bay hotels such as the
Grand Bay Hotel in Miami, Florida, the Peaks in Telluride, Colorado, the
Boulders in
23
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Boulder, Colorado, the Grand Bay Hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona and La Paloma in
Tucson, Arizona. This campaign will be part of Wyndham's strategy to consolidate
the marketing of the properties acquired by Patriot/Wyndham during the past two
years and enhance the Grand Bay brand. Las Casitas Village portion of the
campaign will be funded by the marketing fees paid to the Hotel Operator with
respect to Las Casitas Village.
The Resort will now have available the resources of the extensive sales and
marketing networks of Wyndham Resorts and Grand Bay. Prior to 1998, the Resort
had an in-house marketing staff of approximately 8 employees, a U.S. mainland
exclusive marketing service with 40 employees located primarily in Miami,
Florida and New York, New York and sales agents in South America and Europe.
The Partnership has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Hotel
Operator and its shareholders and affiliates and their respective partners,
shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and
all liabilities relating to the operation of the Resort except for the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of its executive employees.
GOLDEN DOOR'r' SPA
The Hotel Operator has determined that each Grand Bay hotel will contain a
Golden Door spa. The Partnership has initiated construction of a Golden Door'r'
spa to be marketed as an amenity to Las Casitas Village but which will also be
available to guests of the Hotel. The Partnership will own the spa and the Hotel
Operator will manage and market the spa. The estimated cost of construction of
the spa is $4.7 million, which will be borne by the Partnership. The Partnership
will pay Grand Bay a management fee of 6% of the gross revenues of the spa and
an incentive fee of 25% of the operating income of the spa. The Hotel Operator
anticipates the spa opening in time for the 1998/1999 winter season.
LAS CASITAS VILLAGE ARRANGEMENTS
The Partnership has entered into separate, year-to-year agreements with the
owners of almost all of the condominium units of Las Casitas Village with
respect to the management and marketing of the condominium units. The
Partnership has full discretion in fixing room rates for each unit in Las
Casitas Village. Each unit must be made available to the Partnership for at
least 11 months per calendar year and 23 of 25 weeks during the Resort's high
season. The Partnership receives 50% of the net rental income of each
condominium unit, which is equal to the gross rental income of each condominium
unit less certain administrative, marketing, maintenance, operational and other
costs associated with the condominium units individually and Las Casitas Village
as a whole.
THE PARTNERSHIP
The Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership organized on January 16,
1990 under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The
Partnership's mailing address in Puerto Rico is 1000 El Conquistador Avenue,
Fajardo, Puerto Rico 00738. The Partnership's registered office in the State of
Delaware is c/o Corporation Trust Company, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington,
Delaware 19801. The general partners and limited partners of the Partnership are
WKA El Con Associates, a New York general partnership ('WKA'), and Conquistador
Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation ('CHI'). Each of WKA and CHI owns a 35%
limited partnership interest and a 15% general partnership interest in the
Partnership. CHI is the managing general partner (the 'Managing General
Partner') of the Partnership with the authority to make all decisions on behalf
of the Partnership without the consent of WKA. As of the date of issuance of the
Bonds, the Partnership will be governed by an Amended and Restated Agreement of
Limited Partnership (the 'Partnership Agreement'). Immediately prior to the
issuance of the Bonds (i) WKA will transfer its general and limited partnership
interests in the Partnership to a newly-formed, wholly-owned, single-purpose
subsidiary of WKA ('WKA Sub') and such general partnership interests will be
converted to limited partnership interests, and (ii) CHI will transfer its
24
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
general and limited partnership interests in the Partnership to a newly-formed,
wholly-owned, single-purpose subsidiary of CHI ('CHI Sub'). CHI Sub will become
the Managing General Partner at the time of the transfer referred to in (ii)
above. The term of the Partnership will continue until March 31, 2030, provided
that the Partnership may be dissolved prior to such date upon (i) mutual
agreement of all the partners of the Partnership; (ii) the sale or abandonment
of all or substantially all of the Hotel; or (iii) the bankruptcy of the sole
remaining general partner unless the remaining partners agree in writing to
continue the business of the Partnership and to replace the bankrupt general
partner.
No regular meetings of the partners of the Partnership are required under
the Partnership Agreement. However, the partners meet once per year to review
and approve the forthcoming year's budget for the Resort as prepared and
presented by the Hotel Operator. The partners also meet from time-to-time as
required to discuss various matters pertaining to the Partnership.
In 1990, WHG Resorts & Casinos Inc. ('WHG'), together with certain other
individuals ('the Other Owners'), caused the formation of WKA. The Partnership
was formed by WKA and Kumagai Caribbean, Inc. ('Kumagai'), a subsidiary of
Kumagai Gumi Co., Ltd., a large Japanese construction company, for the purpose
of acquiring and renovating the hotel and casino property now known as the
Resort. The Partnership was originally owned 50% by WKA and 50% by Kumagai. The
Resort was originally built as a 388 room hotel in 1962. In January 1990, WHGI
entered into an agreement with the Partnership for the management of the Resort.
The Resort was substantially renovated and expanded during 1991 and 1992 with
Kumagai acting as construction manager and rendering technical development
services during the construction phase and WHGI rendering management services in
preparation of opening of the Resort. The completed Resort, excluding Las
Casitas Village, opened for business in November 1993.
In April 1993, WKA became a limited partner in Las Casitas Development
Company I, S en C (S.E.) which acquired certain land from the Partnership for
the purpose of developing and selling approximately 90 condominiums known as Las
Casitas Village. The project was substantially completed in or about January
1995.
On January 16, 1998, WHG was acquired by a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Wyndham. WHGI was owned by WHG and the Other Owners. Wyndham acquired WHG's
interest in WHGI concurrently with its acquisition of WHG. Wyndham is an
operating company which manages and operates hotels.
On March 31, 1998, Patriot acquired the interests of certain of the Other
Owners in WKA and Kumagai in the Partnership and Wyndham acquired the remaining
interests in WHGI. Patriot is a real estate investment trust which owns hotel
properties. On July 13, 1998, Patriot acquired the balance of the Other Owners'
interests in WKA. Subsequently, Patriot transferred its ownership interest in
WKA and the Partnership to CHI. WKA is beneficially owned 46.54% by Wyndham and
53.46% owned by CHI. Patriot beneficially owns approximately 77% of the
Partnership by reason of its 99% equity ownership interest in CHI. Wyndham
beneficially owns approximately 23% of the Partnership by reason of its equity
ownership in WKA.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT AND CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS
The Partnership's partnership interests are comprised of 30% general

the Partnership immediately prior to consummation of the Offering, will be
similarly restricted and will be required to have an independent director whose
approval will be required for the Partnership or either of its partners to file

LIMITATIONS ON THE LIABILITY OF AFFILIATED PERSONS
The Partnership Agreement will provide that no general partner and none of
its officers, directors, partners, employees or agents, whether acting as a
general partner or otherwise, will have any liability to the Partnership or any
other partner for any acts performed by such general partner, officer, director,
partner, employee or agent, by or on behalf of the Partnership in its capacity
as such except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Partnership
Agreement also provides that the liability of each limited partner is limited to
its capital contribution and that no limited partner as such has any other
liability to contribute money to, or in respect of the liabilities or
obligations of, the Partnership, nor is any limited partner as such personally
liable for any obligations of the Partnership except as otherwise provided by
law. IN THE OPINION OF THE COMMISSION, INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT IS AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY AND THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.
A successful indemnification of any general partner or an affiliate could
deplete the assets of the Partnership, unless the Partnership's indemnification
obligation is covered by insurance. The Partnership does not anticipate
obtaining such insurance.
The Management Agreement provides that the Partnership will indemnify and
hold harmless WHGI and its shareholders and affiliates and their respective
partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents from and
against any and all liabilities (including those caused by the simple negligence
of the indemnitee and those as to which the indemnitee may be strictly liable)
(i) arising out of or incurred in connection with the construction, renovation,
management or operation of the Resort or (ii) arising out of or resulting from
the environmental condition of the Resort or the applicability of any legal
requirements relating to hazardous materials, except, in the case of both (i)
and (ii) above, those liabilities caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of executive personnel.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Partnership's results of operations are highly seasonal with the
highest revenues occurring from December through April. During the months of May
through November, efforts are made to actively market the Resort in order to
minimize the adverse effects of seasonality. See ' -- Seasonality' and 'RISK
FACTORS -- Seasonality.' Accordingly, results for any single quarter are not
necessarily indicative of the results for any other quarter or for the full
fiscal year. Results can also be negatively affected by circumstances beyond the
Partnership's control such as hurricanes, airline strikes, droughts and water
shortages, and the like. The impact of such events, if any, will depend, in
part, upon the time of year when such events occur.
The Partnership and the Hotel Operator have taken steps to improve the
operating performance of the Resort by strengthening its management and reducing
operating costs primarily through implementation of better cost controls and
more efficient staffing.

Hotel and casino revenues increased $5,205,000 or 8.8% in the six months
ended June 30, 1998 to $64,386,000 from $59,181,000 in the six months ended June
30, 1997. The increase was due to a greater occupancy mix of group rooms which
generated higher average rates and additional room revenue as well as additional
food and beverage revenues. Additional revenues were also generated from
transportation and golf greens fee price increases implemented on January 1,
1998.
Operating income increased by $4,333,000 or 36.6% from $11,838,000 to
$16,171,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared with the six months
ended June 30, 1997 due to improved operating efficiencies and lower food and
beverage costs. Amortization expenses decreased as the five-year pre-opening
marketing expenses were fully amortized in March 1998 with the acquisition of
WHG by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wyndham.
The net income for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 increased by
$4,514,000 to $7,586,000 versus $3,072,000 for the six month period ended June
30, 1997 due to the combination of successful price increases and management's
ability to maintain or reduce costs in the hotel operating divisions.

Hotel and casino revenues increased by $1,958,000 or 3.4% in the nine
months ended December 31, 1997 to $60,127,000 from $58,169,000 in the nine
months ended December 31, 1996. Despite this increase, the additional travel
agent commissions paid and greater sales and marketing expenses to attract
summer business negated this revenue gain. The Hotel extended additional
discounts and marketing promotional monies to stimulate demand in other markets.
For the nine primarily off-season months of April 1, 1997 to December 31,
1997, operating loss was $2,013,000 as compared to a loss of $2,259,000 for
April 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996. Operating income increased $246,000
notwithstanding the slow summer convention season and higher marketing expenses
for the 9 months ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the same 9 months ended
December 31, 1996.
The net loss in the nine months ended December 31, 1997 was $15,042,000
compared to a net loss of $14,811,000 in the nine months ended December 31,
1996. The net loss increased due to increased travel agent commissions and
higher marketing expenses along with increased interest charges for the deferred
WHGI management fees and the 1991 AFICA Refunded Bonds.

Hotel and casino revenues increased by $4,089,000 or 4.4% in the 12 months
ended March 31, 1998 to $97,047,000 from $92,958,000 in the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1997. This revenue growth was due to increased group room nights sold,
transportation and golf price increases, and higher concession rents collected
in the 12 months ended March 31, 1998.
Operating income increased by $1,560,000 or 20.6% for the 12 months ended
March 31, 1998 to $9,120,000 from $7,560,000 in the period ended March 31, 1997.
Except for the additional expenses incurred to promote summer business through
local advertising and increasing commissions paid to travel agents, operating
expenses remained constant for the periods ended March 31, 1998 and March 31,
1997.
The net loss for the 12 month period ended March 31, 1998 totaled
$7,936,000 versus $9,403,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. The
$1,467,000 improvement was due to the higher operating profits generated on
increased revenues over the 12 months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Combined 1997 fiscal year revenues increased by $3,744,000 or 4.2% over
fiscal 1996 as the Hotel was able to pass on higher room rates as well as
increasing occupancy by 1% in fiscal 1997. In addition, transportation price
increases as well as increased concession rents contributed to the revenue
increase for fiscal 1997 over fiscal 1996.
Operating income increased by $3,008,000 or 66.0% for the 12 months ended
March 31, 1997 as management continued to improve the operating efficiency and
profit margins in the rooms, food and beverage departments. Undistributed
expenses increased in sales and marketing due to increased advertising and
promotions necessary to stimulate summer demand. Depreciation and amortization
expenses declined for the period ended March 31, 1997 versus March 31, 1996 by
$1,352,000 as the 24-month pre-opening expenses became fully amortized at the
end of fiscal 1996.
Net loss for the 12 months ended March 31, 1997 was $9,403,000 compared to
a net loss of $12,241,000 for the 12 months ended March 31, 1996. This
$2,838,000 or 23.2% reduction can be attributed to increased volume and pricing
as well as the decrease in amortization in fiscal 1997 of certain pre-opening
marketing expenses.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Resort's cash needs during the high-season months of December through
April are provided from cash generated at the Resort. The Resort's cash needs
during the off-season months of May through November have historically been
provided from cash generated at the Resort and by the Hotel Operator, and from a
revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility was terminated in May
1998. Additionally, during the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998, a portion
of the Resort's cash needs were funded from short-term borrowings from Patriot.
Such borrowings were necessary to fund a portion of the spa construction and to
pay certain costs and expenses related to the Interim Financing. The Partnership
believes that after completion of the Offering its cash needs throughout the
year will be provided by cash generated at the Resort.
Annual capital expenditures are provided for each year as part of the
Hotel's annual budgeting process. Capital expenditures are incurred taking into
account available cash and available financing, if necessary. The Loan Agreement
will permit the Partnership to borrow funds for capital expenditures subject to
satisfaction of certain conditions. See 'SUMMARY OF THE LOAN
AGREEMENT -- Covenants.'
The Management Agreement will provide for reduced fees on an overall basis
as compared to the management agreement which was in effect through
, 1998. The base fee will be reduced by 1.0%, from 3.5% to 2.5%,
of gross revenue of the Resort. There will be a new trade name fee of 0.5% of
gross revenue of the Hotel. The incentive fee of 10.0% of the Resort's gross
operating profit will be eliminated. Although there will be a new marketing fee
of 1.5% of gross room revenues of the Hotel as well as 1.0% of gross room
revenues of Las Casitas Village, the Partnership believes that such fee will not
increase the overall marketing expense of the Resort.
12 Months Ended March 31, 1998 (unaudited) Compared With the Fiscal Year
Ended March 31, 1997. Cash flows from the operating, investing and financing
activities of the property for the 12 months ended March 31, 1998 resulted in
net cash used of $724,000 compared with net cash provided of $1,523,000 for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.
Cash provided by operating activities was $4,376,000 for the 12 months
ended March 31, 1998 versus $5,855,000 for the fiscal year ended Mach 31, 1997.
This decline was due to higher accounts receivable and an increase in prepaid
expenses associated with a short-term loan extension.
Cash used by investing activities was $2,553,000 for the 12 months ended
March 31, 1998 versus $1,428,000 for March 31, 1997. Cash used for the purchase
of property and equipment was $2,486,000 in the 12 months ended March 31, 1998
versus $1,306,000 in 1997. Cash used for the purchase of operating equipment was
$68,000 in the 12 months ended March 31, 1998 versus $123,000 in fiscal 1997.
Cash used by financing activities during the 12 months ended March 31, 1998
was $2,546,000 compared with $2,903,000 for the period ended March 31, 1997.

term chattel mortgages and capital lease obligations totaled $3,046,000 versus
$2,429,000 in comparing the periods ending March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Net cash proceeds provided from bank notes for the 12 months ended
March 31, 1998 totaled $500,000 versus $1,273,000 net cash used in the 12 months
ended March 31, 1997.
Fiscal Year (Nine Months) Ended December 31, 1997 Compared With Nine Months
Ended December 31, 1996 (unaudited). Cash flows from the operating, investing
and financing activities of the property for the nine months ended December 31,
1997 resulted in net cash used of $1,252,000 compared with net cash provided of
$191,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1996.
Cash used by operating activities was $1,415,000 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to $13,000 provided by operations during the nine
months ended December 31, 1996. The increase of cash used was due to accounts
receivable and prepaid expense increases along with the reduction of balances
due to affiliates.
Cash used by investing activities was $1,890,000 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1997 versus $1,623,000 for the period ended December 31, 1996. Cash
used for the purchase of property and equipment was $1,994,000 in the nine
months ended December 31, 1997 versus $1,625,000 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1996. Cash provided in the reduction of operating equipment was
$104,000 in the nine month ended December 31, 1997 versus $2,000 in the nine
month period ended December 31, 1996.
Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended December
31, 1997 was $2,053,000 versus $1,802,000 for the period ended December 31,
1996. Cash used for the payment of long term chattel mortgages and capital lease
obligations totaled $2,447,000 and $1,698,000 in the periods ended December 31,
1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively. Net cash proceeds provided from bank
notes totaled $4,500,000 in the nine month period ended December 31, 1997
compared to $3,500,000 for the nine month period ended December 31, 1996.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 (unaudited) Compared With Six Months Ended
June 30, 1997 (unaudited). Cash flows from the operating, investing and
financing activities of the property for the six months ended June 30, 1998
resulted in net cash provided of $478,000 compared with net cash used of
$111,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
Cash provided by operating activities was $10,445,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to $4,073,000 in the six months ended June 30,
1997. The increase was primarily due to the change from the net income of
$3,072,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $7,586,000 for the same
period in 1998.
Cash used by investing activities was $2,800,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 versus $58,000 for the same period in 1997. Cash used for the
purchase of property and equipment was $2,687,000 in the first six months of
1998 versus $62,000 in the first six months of 1997. Cash used for the purchase
of operating equipment was $113,000 in the first six months of 1998 compared to
$4,000 of cash provided during the same period in 1997.
Cash used by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 1998
totaled $7,167,000 versus $4,126,000 during the corresponding period ended June
30, 1997. Cash used for the payment of long term chattel mortgages and capital
lease obligations totaled $1,167,000 versus $1,353,000 comparing the periods
ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997. Net cash used for bank note payments
totaled $6,000,000 compared to $2,773,000 for the six month periods ended June
30, 1998 and 1997.
TAXES
As the Partnership is not a taxable entity for Puerto Rico income tax
purposes and as each partner reports its distributive share of profits and
losses in its respective income tax return, no provision for income taxes has
been made in the Partnership's financial statements.
36
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
INFLATION
During the past three fiscal years, the level of inflation affecting the
Resort has been relatively low. The ability of the Resort to pass on future cost
increases in the form of higher room rates and other price increases will
continue to be dependent on the prevailing competitive environment and the
acceptance of the Resort's services in the market place.
SEASONALITY
The hotel and casino business in Puerto Rico is highly seasonal. From
December through April the occupancies of the Resort and Las Casitas Village are
greater than other months and the average room rates are higher than other
months resulting in higher revenues and net income primarily in the first
calendar quarter. During the calendar quarter of July 1 through September 30 the
Partnership normally has a net loss.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Hurricane Georges passed through Puerto Rico on September 21 and 22, 1998.
Hurricane Georges caused approximately $36,000,000 of property related damage at
the Hotel, substantially all of which is covered by insurance. The Resort has
also lost approximately 2,500 group room nights as a direct result of Hurricane
Georges. The Partnership believes such room night losses will be covered by its
business interruption insurance. As a result of Hurricane Georges, the Resort
was closed from September 21, 1998 through October 3, 1998. Additionally, the
majority of condominium units of Las Casitas Village were damaged and will not
be available to the Resort until approximately November 1, 1998. Puerto Rico
itself and other hotel properties on the island also suffered extensive damage
from Hurricane Georges. As a result, travelers' perception of Puerto Rico as a
leisure destination may be adversely affected for the 1998/1999 tourist season.
The Resort could lose additional room nights as a result of this perception,
which may or may not be covered by its business interruption insurance. The
Partnership believes that the Resort will be completely repaired in time for its
high season which begins in December. However, the Partnership cannot predict
the effect that Hurricane Georges will have on its future bookings. To the
extent that additional group and leisure travelers with reservations cancel
their plans to come to the Resort or additional travelers do not make
reservations as a result of Hurricane Georges, such lost bookings could have a
material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial condition and results of
operations.
The Puerto Rico Tourism Company plans to launch a $1.7 million advertising
campaign to negate the negative perception created by media images of Hurricane
Georges. The campaign will be entitled 'Puerto Rico Now' and will include three
new 30 second commercials and a 20 minute video. The campaign commenced on
October 14, 1998 with the airing of television commercials in key media markets
in the Northeastern United States during early prime time programming periods.
The video will be shown at tourism industry trade shows as well as be
distributed to approximately 2,000 travel agents around the United States. The
Partnership believes that the Advertising Campaign together with the 'Puerto
Rico Now' campaign will limit the adverse effects of the perception of damage
caused by Hurricane Georges.
IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. Any of the
Resort's computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a
date using '00' as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in
a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations,
including, among other things, temporary inability to process transactions, send
invoices, record reservations or engage in similar normal business activities.
The Partnership has completed an assessment and will modify or replace a
portion of its software so that its computer systems will function properly with
respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. The Partnership estimated that
its Year 2000 project cost at approximately
37
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
$1,000,000, which includes approximately $950,000 for the purchase of new
hardware and software that will be capitalized and approximately $50,000 that
will be expensed as incurred. To date, the Partnership has incurred
approximately $20,000 for assessment of the Year 2000 issue.
The project is estimated to be completed not later than November 1999. The
Partnership believes that with the modifications to existing software and
conversions to new software, the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant
operational problems for its computer system. However, if such modifications and
conversions are not made, or are not completed in a timely manner, the Year 2000
issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Resort.
The Partnership has initiated formal communications with all of its
significant vendors and service providers to determine the extent to which the
Resort's interface systems are vulnerable to those third parties' failure to
remediate their own Year 2000 issues. There is no guarantee that the systems of
other companies on which the Resort's systems rely will be timely converted and
would not have an adverse effect on the Resort's systems.
The costs of the project and the date on which the Partnership believes it
will complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best
estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events,
including the continued availability of certain resources and other factors.
However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. Specific factors
that might cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, the
availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate
and correct all relevant computer codes, and similar uncertainties.
The Resort also utilizes certain computer systems and programs of
Patriot/Wyndham and its subsidiaries. Patriot/Wyndham has reported the following
on the Year 2000 issue:
Patriot/Wyndham recognizes the importance of minimizing the number and
seriousness of any disruptions that may occur as a result of Year 2000 and
has adopted an extensive compliance program. Patriot/Wyndham is completing
the inventory of its information technology and other electronic assets
(such as, but not limited to, automated time clocks, point-of-sale,
non-information technology systems, including embedded systems that operate
security systems, phone systems, energy management systems and other
systems) used in its businesses that may be affected by Year 2000 issues
and the related assessment of those assets' Year 2000 compliance.
Patriot/Wyndham has completed its assessment of its primary information
technology infrastructure and the inventory and assessment of substantially
all of its hotels, other than certain hotels acquired in 1998, other than
the Resort.
Patriot/Wyndham is also surveying its vendors and service providers
that are critical to its businesses to determine whether they are Year 2000
compliant. Patriot/Wyndham expects that these surveys will be completed in
the fourth quarter of 1998, but cannot guarantee that all vendors or
service providers will comply with Patriot/Wyndham's surveys, and therefore
Patriot/Wyndham may not be able to determine Year 2000 compliance of those
vendors or service providers. At that time, Patriot/Wyndham will determine
the extent to which it will be able to replace non-compliant vendors. Due
to the lack of an alternative source, there may be instances in which
Patriot/Wyndham will have no alternative but to remain with non-compliant
vendors or service providers.
Patriot/Wyndham is presently negotiating with the vendor that is
expected to perform the remediation of Patriot/Wyndham's systems. The scope
and cost of this work is not yet known.
Patriot/Wyndham believes that its reprogramming, upgrading and systems
replacements will be implemented and tested by June 30, 1999.
Patriot/Wyndham believes that this should provide adequate time to further
correct any problems that did not surface during the implementation and
testing for those systems.
In addition to those systems within Patriot/Wyndham's control and the
control of its vendors and suppliers, there are other systems that could
have an impact on Patriot/Wyndham's businesses and which may not be Year
2000 compliant by January 1, 2000. These systems could affect the
operations of the air traffic control system and airlines or other segments
of the lodging and travel industries, or the economy and travel generally.
These
38
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
systems are outside of Patriot/Wyndham's control or influence and their
compliance may not be verified by Patriot/Wyndham. However, these systems
could adversely affect Patriot/Wyndham's financial condition or results of
operation.
If Patriot/Wyndham is not successful in implementing its Year 2000
compliance plan, it may suffer a material adverse impact on its
consolidated results of operations and financial condition. Because of the
importance of addressing the Year 2000 problem, Patriot/Wyndham expects to
develop contingency plans if it determines that the compliance plans will
not be implemented by June 30, 1999.
To date, Patriot/Wyndham has expended approximately $1.8 million in
connection with the inventory and assessment of its information technology
and other electronics assets.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Partnership currently and from time to time is involved in litigation
incidental to the conduct of its business. In the opinion of the Partnership,
none of the existing litigations is likely to have a material adverse effect on
the Partnership or its business.
POLICY WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN ACTIVITIES
The Loan Agreement will prohibit the Partnership from issuing any
securities which are senior to the Bonds. During the past three years, the
Partnership has not issued any senior securities. From time to time during the
past three years, the Partnership has borrowed monies from third-parties, its
affiliates and its partners in order to fund day-to-day operations at the Resort
as well as for capital improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment.
Additionally, the Partnership maintained a revolving credit facility with GDB of
up to $6,000,000 during the period of July 1995 through May 1998. As a condition
to entering into the revolving credit facility, GDB required the partners of the
Partnership to lend the Partnership $800,000. To date, $65,000 of these loans
has been repaid and $735,000 remains outstanding and will be subordinate to the
Bonds. Additionally, the Partnership is currently indebted to the Posadas de
Puerto Rico Associates, Incorporated ('PPRA') in the aggregate principal amount
of $32,021,172. Such loan will be subordinate to the Bonds. PPRA is an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Wyndham and is the owner of the Condado Plaza Hotel &
Casino. The Partnership's ability to borrow funds in the future will be governed
by the Loan Agreement. See 'SUMMARY OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT -- Covenants.' To the
extent that the Partnership is able to borrow in the future, such borrowing
decisions will be made solely by the Managing General Partner.
The Loan Agreement will prohibit the Partnership from making loans to other
persons, offering securities in exchange for property and to repurchasing or
otherwise acquiring its partnership interests or other securities, including the
Bonds. Additionally, the Partnership does not engage in the purchase and sale
(or turnover) of investments, investing in securities of other persons or
underwriting securities of other issuers. The Partnership has not engaged in any
of the aforementioned activities during the past three years.
Following consummation of the Offering, the Partnership will be subject to
the informational reporting requirements of the Exchange Act during the current
fiscal year by reason of the public offering and the issuance of the Bonds. In
accordance with the Exchange Act, the Partnership will file with the Commission
the reports and other information required to be filed under the Exchange Act.
The Partnership anticipates, however, that it will not be subject to the
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act in future fiscal years pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; however, the Partnership will continue to
file copies of its annual reports and certain other information, documents and
reports specified in Rule 15c2-12 promulgated under the Exchange Act so long as
the Bonds are outstanding. See 'CONTINUING DISCLOSURE COVENANT.'
39
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The purpose of the Partnership is limited to the ownership of the Resort.
The Partnership was formed in order to develop the Resort and own the Hotel, and
to generate income therefrom. The Partnership and the Managing General Partner,
on behalf of the Partnership, are authorized to enter into any agreements
necessary or desirable for the operation of the Resort and ownership of the
Hotel.
The Resort will be operated by the Hotel Operator. For a complete
discussion concerning the management of the Resort, see 'THE
RESORT -- Management and Marketing and the Resort.' The Partnership does not
anticipate any additional long-term financing other than the Offering. The
Partnership believes that its cash flows from future operations will be
sufficient to meet short-term working capital needs. Additional financing may be
required for specific projects at the Resort, including the purchase of
replacement furniture, fixtures and equipment. The Loan Agreement will limit the
Partnership's ability to obtain additional financing, including secured
financing, in certain circumstances. For a description of such limitations, see
'SUMMARY OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT -- Covenants.' The Partnership will not invest in
real estate mortgages or securities of or interests in persons primarily engaged
in real estate activities.
POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
The Partnership was formed solely to operate the Resort and own the Hotel.
The Partnership will be prohibited from making other investments or disposing of
its assets pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and, therefore, a policy with respect
to such matters for executive officers and partners of the Partnership is not
necessary.
The Partnership Agreement will prohibit the partners of the Partnership
from engaging in any other business activities other than those as partners of
the Partnership. WKA Sub and CHI Sub will be the only two partners of the
Partnership upon consummation of the Offering. Each will be a single purpose
entity which will only be permitted to engage in the business of acting as a
partner of the Partnership. WKA Sub and CHI Sub will be prohibited from any
other business activities.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The Partnership is subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of
its relationship with the General Partners and their affiliates. Because the
Partnership will be operated by the Managing General Partner, these conflicts
will not be resolved through arm's-length negotiations, but through the exercise
of the Managing General Partner's judgment consistent with its fiduciary
responsibility to WKA Sub, the only other General and Limited Partner other than
the Managing General Partner.
WHGI, an affiliate of the Partnership, has historically and will continue
to manage the Resort. The arrangements between the Partnership and WHGI,
including those contained in the Management Agreement, were not negotiated at
arm's-length. There can be no assurances that the terms of the Management
Agreement, including the Hotel Operator's fees, are as favorable to the
Partnership as those that could reasonably be obtained in an arm's-length
negotiation with an unrelated third party. See 'THE RESORT -- Management and
Marketing of the Resort' for a detailed description of these arrangements.
The Partnership is also an affiliate of Wyndham Management, which will
manage the Resort and market the Hotel. The Partnership is also an affiliate of
Grand Bay, which will market Las Casitas Village. Each of Wyndham Management and
Grand Bay market other resorts, some of which compete directly with the Resort.
There can be no assurance that either Wyndham Management or Grand Bay will not
take actions which favor other properties that they market to the detriment the
Resort.
Wyndham has a responsibility to its shareholders to maximize the economic
return of all of the Wyndham Resorts that it manages, not only the Resort. There
can be no assurance that
40
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Wyndham will not take actions or cause Wyndham Management or Grand Bay to take
such actions to benefit another Wyndham Resort or Grand Bay Resort to the
detriment of the Resort. Such actions may include, without limitation, shifting
key employees from the Resort to another Wyndham Resort, marketing other Wyndham
Resorts or Grand Bay Resorts more prominently than the Resort and not providing
the financial support to the Resort that it provides to other Wyndham Resorts.
In order to repay a portion of the Refunded Bonds, the Partnership borrowed
$32,021,172 from PPRA. The loan is evidenced by a demand promissory note bearing
interest at the prime rate. This loan will be subordinate to the Bonds.
Historically from time to time, the Partnership borrowed funds from the
partners of the Partnership. Such loans were Deficiency Loans and Additional
Loans (as those terms are defined in the Partnership Agreement) and are
subordinate to the Bonds. As of June 30, 1998, such partner loans and related
interest totalled $13,064,496. The most recent of such loans was in the
aggregate principal amount of $800,000 and is described under 'POLICY WITH
RESPECT TO CERTAIN ACTIVITIES' above.

THE BONDS
GENERAL
The Bonds will be issued pursuant to the Trust Agreement in the aggregate
principal amount of $100,000,000. The Bonds will be dated the date of the
initial delivery and payment for the Bonds (the 'Date of Issuance') and will

described below) in such amounts on and of such years, as set forth
on the inside front cover page of this Official Statement and Prospectus.
Interest on the Bonds will be payable monthly on the first day of each month
commencing on , 1999 until maturity or prior redemption (each a 'Payment
Date').
The Bonds are issuable as fully registered bonds without coupons in
denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. The Bonds will be
registered under The Depository Trust Company Book-Entry Only System described
below. The principal or redemption price of and interest on the Bonds will be
payable as described below under 'Book-Entry Only System.'

The Trustee will be Banco Santander Puerto Rico. The Trustee's corporate
trust office is located at 221 Ponce de Leon Avenue, Lobby Level, Hato Rey,
Puerto Rico 00918.
BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM
The following information concerning The Depository Trust Company ('DTC')
and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from DTC, and none of AFICA, the
Partnership, or the Underwriter take any responsibility for the accuracy
thereof.
DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be
issued as fully registered bonds in the name of Cede & Co., DTC's partnership
nominee. One fully registered Bond will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds
in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with
DTC.
DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking
Law, a 'banking organization' within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a
member of the Federal Reserve System, a 'clearing corporation' within the
meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a 'clearing agency'
registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC
holds securities that its participants (the 'Direct Participants') deposit with
DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement of securities transactions among Direct
Participants, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through
electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the Direct Participants, thereby
eliminating the need for physical movement of securities. Direct Participants
include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing
corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of the
Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock
Exchange, Inc. and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access
to the DTC system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers
and trust companies that clear transactions through or maintain a custodial
relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (the
'Indirect Participants;' and together with the Direct Participants, the
'Participants'). The rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file
with the Commission.
Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct
Participants which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The
ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond ('Beneficial Owner') is
in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records.
Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their
purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations
providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their
holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial
Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the
Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants acting
on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates
42
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
representing their ownership interests in the Bonds, except in the event that
use of the DTC system for the Bonds is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Participants
with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The
deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co.
effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual
Beneficial Owners of the Bonds. DTC's records reflect only the identity of the
Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may
not be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain responsible for
keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct
Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct
Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by
arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as
may be in effect from time to time.
Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the
Bonds of any maturity are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot
the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be
redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to the Bonds.
Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an 'Omnibus Proxy' to AFICA as soon as
possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s
consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the
Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the
Omnibus Proxy).
Principal of and redemption premium, if any, and interest payments on the
Bonds will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants'
accounts on each Payment Date in accordance with their respective holdings shown
on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive
payment on such date. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be
governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with
securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in
'street name,' and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of
DTC, the Trustee, the Partnership or AFICA, subject to any statutory or
regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of
principal and interest to DTC is the responsibility of the Trustee, disbursement
of such payments to Direct Participants is the responsibility of DTC, and
disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners is the responsibility of
Direct and Indirect Participants.
Each person for which a Participant acquires an interest in the Bonds, as
nominee, may desire to make arrangements with such Participant to receive a
credit balance in the records of such Participant, and may desire to make
arrangements with such Participant to have all notices of redemption or other
communications to DTC, which may affect such persons, forwarded in writing by
such Participant and to have notification made of all interest payments.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with
respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to AFICA or the
Trustee. In such event, AFICA will try to find a substitute securities
depository and, if unsuccessful, definitive Bonds will be printed and delivered.
In addition, AFICA, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other
person, may terminate the services of DTC as securities depository with respect
to the Bonds if AFICA determines that Beneficial Owners of such Bonds shall be
able to obtain definitive Bonds. In such event, definitive Bonds will be printed
and delivered as provided in the Trust Agreement and registered in accordance
with the instructions of the Beneficial Owners.
So long as Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC (or any other nominee of DTC), is
the registered owner of the Bonds, all references herein to the Bondholders or
registered owners of the Bonds (other than under the heading 'Tax Matters')
shall mean Cede & Co., or such other nominee, in the capacity of nominee for
DTC, and shall not mean the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds.
When reference is made to any action which is required or permitted to be
taken by the Beneficial Owners, such reference shall only relate to those
permitted to act (by statute, regulation
43
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
or otherwise) on behalf of such Beneficial Owners for such purposes. When
notices are given, they shall be sent by AFICA or the Trustee to DTC only.
For every registration of transfer or exchange of the Book-Entry Bonds, the
Beneficial Owner may be charged a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto.
NONE OF AFICA, THE TRUSTEE OR THE PARTNERSHIP SHALL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY
OR OBLIGATION TO ANY PARTICIPANT OR ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER WITH RESPECT TO (1) THE
ACCURACY OF ANY RECORDS MAINTAINED BY DTC OR ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANT OR INDIRECT
PARTICIPANT, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE; (2) THE PAYMENT OR TIMELINESS OF PAYMENT BY DTC
OR ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OF ANY AMOUNT DUE TO ANY
BENEFICIAL OWNER IN RESPECT OF THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OR REDEMPTION PRICE OF OR
INTEREST ON THE BONDS; (3) THE DELIVERY OR TIMELINESS OF DELIVERY BY DTC OR ANY
DIRECT PARTICIPANT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OF ANY NOTICE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER
WHICH IS REQUIRED OR PERMITTED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT TO BE
GIVEN TO BONDHOLDERS; (4) THE SELECTION OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS TO RECEIVE
PAYMENT IN THE EVENT OF ANY PARTIAL REDEMPTION OF THE BONDS; OR (5) ANY CONSENT
GIVEN OR OTHER ACTION TAKEN BY DTC AS BONDHOLDER.
In the event that the book-entry only system is discontinued and the
Beneficial Owners become registered owners of the Bonds, the following
provisions will apply: The principal of the Bonds and premium, if any, thereon
when due will be payable upon presentation of the Bonds at the corporate trust
office of the Trustee in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and interest on the Bonds will
be paid by check mailed to the persons who were the registered owners, or in the
case of Beneficial Owners holding at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of Bonds who so request by wire transfer, as of the 15th day of the month
immediately preceding the related Payment Date, as provided in the Trust
Agreement. Bonds may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of
Bonds in other authorized denominations and of the same maturity and interest
rate, upon surrender thereof at the Trustee's corporate trust office in San
Juan, Puerto Rico. The transfer of any Bond may be registered only upon
surrender thereof to the Trustee along with a duly executed assignment in form
satisfactory to the Trustee. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Bond
or Bonds of authorized denominations in an equal aggregate principal amount, of
the same maturity, bearing interest at the same rate and registered in the name
of the transferee will be executed by AFICA and authenticated by the Trustee. No
charge may be made to the Bondholders for any exchange or registration of
transfer of the Bonds, but any Bondholder requesting any such exchange shall pay
any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such
exchange or registration of transfer. The Trustee will not be required to
exchange or to register the transfer of any Bond during the period of 15 days
preceding the date of giving of notice of redemption or after any Bond or
portion thereof has been selected for redemption.
REDEMPTION
Mandatory Redemption Other Than Upon Event of Taxability. The Bonds will be
subject to mandatory redemption at a price equal to the principal amount thereof
plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date, without premium, (i)
in whole or in part, to the extent of any condemnation, casualty or insurance
proceeds received upon the occurrence of an event of condemnation, taking or
destruction of, or damage to the Resort under the conditions set forth in the
Loan Agreement, and (ii) in whole upon cessation of operations of the Resort.
See ' -- Selection and Notice of Redemption' below.
A cessation of operation of the Hotel will not be deemed to have occurred
(i) until 30 days have elapsed after notice has been given to the Partnership by
AFICA that operations at the Resort have ceased and the Partnership has not
demonstrated to the satisfaction of AFICA that the Resort is being operated as
'Industrial Facilities' within the meaning of Act No. 121 of June 27, 1977 of
Puerto Rico, as amended (the 'Act'), or that the Partnership is, in good faith,
seeking to cause the resumption of an economically reasonable operation of the
Resort as Industrial Facilities or (ii) until receipt by AFICA and the Trustee
of notice from the Partnership that the Partnership has no present intention of
causing the resumption of operations of the Resort as
44
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Industrial Facilities or of seeking, in good faith, to cause the resumption of
an economically reasonable operation of the Resort as Industrial Facilities. A
cessation of operation of the Resort will not be deemed to exist on account of
an occurrence of an event of condemnation, damage or destruction of the Resort.
In addition, the Term Bonds (unless previously redeemed or purchased for
cancellation), are subject to mandatory redemption, in amounts equal to the
following amortization requirements:

Official Statement and Prospectus.
Mandatory Redemption Upon Event of Taxability. The Bonds are further
subject to mandatory redemption in whole at a price equal to the principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date upon the
second occurrence of an Event of Taxability. An Event of Taxability will occur
upon receipt by AFICA and the Trustee of an accountants' report to the effect
that because of the failure of the Partnership to comply with certain provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the 'Code'), as in effect on
the Date of Issuance interest paid or accrued on the Bonds to a Beneficial Owner
that is (i) an individual who during the entire taxable year in which he
receives or accrues interest on the Bonds that due to the occurrence of an Event
of Taxability is not income from within Puerto Rico under the Code, was a bona
fide resident of Puerto Rico or (ii) a Puerto Rico corporation or other foreign
corporation (for purposes of the Code) that is not engaged in trade or business
in the United States (each a 'Qualifying Bondholder') is includable in gross
income and subject to the payment of income taxes, a credit for the payment of
which is not otherwise available under the Code as in effect on the date of such
report. See 'SUMMARY OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT -- Maintenance of Source of Income;
Additional Interest Upon Event of Taxability.' If redeemed, such redemption
shall occur not later than 45 days after the occurrence of such an Event of
Taxability. No such mandatory redemption shall be required as a result of a
change in the tax laws in force on the Date of Issuance.
Optional Redemption. The Bonds are subject to redemption, at the option of
the Partnership, in whole or in part, on , 2008 or any Payment
Date thereafter (which date shall not be less than 45 days from the date that
notice of such redemption is received by the Trustee) at the redemption prices
set forth below (expressed as percentages of the outstanding principal amount of
such Bonds), plus accrued interest to the redemption date:

To exercise the foregoing optional redemption, the Partnership is required
to deposit with the Trustee moneys necessary to effect such redemption on a
Business Day (as defined in the Trust Agreement) not less than 31 days before
the date on which the corresponding redemption price is due and payable.
Selection and Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days before any redemption
date, notice thereof will be sent by the Trustee via first-class mail, postage
prepaid, to DTC, or if the book-entry only system is discontinued as described
above, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of the Bonds to be
redeemed. If less than all of the Bonds are called for redemption, the
particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed will be selected as provided
below, except that so long as the book-entry only system shall remain in effect,
in the event of any such partial redemption, DTC shall reduce the credit
balances of the applicable DTC Participants in respect of the Bonds, and such
Participants shall in turn select those Beneficial Owners whose ownership
interests are to be extinguished by such partial redemption, each by such method
as DTC or such Participants, as the case may be, in their sole discretion deem
fair and appropriate.
Each notice of redemption shall set forth (a) the redemption date, (b) the
redemption price, (c) if fewer than all of the Bonds then outstanding shall be
called for redemption, the distinctive numbers and letters, if any, of such
Bonds to be redeemed and, in the case of Bonds to be redeemed in part only, the
portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, (d) that on the date
fixed for redemption such redemption price will become due and payable upon each
Bond or portion thereof called for redemption, and that interest thereon shall
cease to accrue on and after said redemption date, and (e) the place where such
Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption are to be surrendered for
payment of such redemption price. In case any Bond is to be redeemed in part
only, the notice of redemption shall state also that on or after the redemption
date, upon surrender of such Bond, a new Bond or Bonds in principal amount equal
to the unredeemed portion of such Bond will be issued. Failure to mail such
notice to any Bondholder or any defect in any notice so mailed shall not affect
the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of the Bonds of any other
Bondholders.
Except with respect to the mandatory redemption of the Term Bonds in
accordance with the amortization requirements described above, if less than all
of the outstanding Bonds shall be called for redemption, such Bonds will be
redeemed in inverse order of maturity unless otherwise requested by the
Partnership. If less than all of the Bonds of any maturity are called for
redemption, the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed shall be
selected by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee deems fair and
appropriate, in integral multiples of $5,000.
If notice of redemption is given and if sufficient funds are on deposit
with the Trustee to provide for the payment of the principal of and premium, if
any, and interest on the Bonds (or portions thereof) to be redeemed, then the
Bonds (or portions thereof) so called for redemption will, on the redemption
date, cease to bear interest and shall no longer be deemed outstanding or be
entitled to any benefit or security under the Trust Agreement.
Any moneys which have been set aside for the purpose of paying any of the
Bonds, either at the maturity thereof or upon a redemption or otherwise, and
which remain unclaimed by a Holder for a period of two years after the date on
which such Bonds shall have become due and payable or deemed tendered for
purchase, may, upon the request of the Partnership, be paid to the Partnership
or to such office, board or body as may be entitled by law to receive the same.
Thereafter, the Holder of such Bonds shall look only to the Partnership or to
such office, board or body, as the case may be, for payment and then only to the
extent of the amount so received, without interest. AFICA and the Trustee shall
have no responsibility with respect to such moneys.
46
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
SOURCES OF PAYMENT AND SECURITY FOR THE BONDS
In General. The Bonds are limited obligations of AFICA payable solely from
monies derived pursuant to the Loan Agreement and from such other amounts as may
be available to the Trustee under the Trust Agreement and the various security
agreements (the 'Security Agreements'). The Bonds will not constitute a charge
against the general credit of AFICA and will not constitute an indebtedness of
Puerto Rico or any of its political subdivisions other than AFICA. The partners
and the affiliates of the Partnership are not liable with respect to the payment
of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds.
The Loan Agreement. Under the Loan Agreement, the Partnership will agree to
deposit with the Trustee in the Bond Fund (as defined in the Trust Agreement)
amounts sufficient to pay, together with the amounts then on deposit therein,
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds. Such deposit must
be made on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the
corresponding amounts of principal, premium, if any, and interest are due and
payable. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, AFICA will assign its interest in the
Loan Agreement (except certain rights of AFICA to indemnification, exemption
from liabilities, notices and the payment of costs and expenses) to the Trustee
as security for the Bonds. See 'Summary of the Loan Agreement.'
The Reserve Fund. On the Date of Issuance, the Partnership shall cause to
be deposited from the proceeds of the Bonds to the credit of the Reserve Fund
(as defined in the Trust Agreement) the amount of $ , which equals the
Reserve Fund Requirement (as defined in the Trust Agreement). Moneys held for
the credit of the Reserve Fund shall be used for the purpose of paying the
principal of and interest on the Bonds when due, whenever and to the extent that
the moneys held to the credit of the Bond Fund shall be insufficient for such
purposes. If the Partnership has failed to deposit amounts sufficient to pay
principal of and interest on the Bonds as required under the Loan Agreement, the
Trustee will transfer funds from the Reserve Fund to the Bond Fund, and will
notify the Partnership of the existence of a Reserve Fund Deficiency (as defined
in the Trust Agreement), on the Business Day immediately succeeding a Payment
Date. In accordance with the Loan Agreement, the Partnership has the obligation
to replenish the Reserve Fund within 20 Business Days after notice from the
Trustee of the existence of a Reserve Fund Deficiency. Additionally, commencing
, 1999 and on each thereafter if the Trustee
determines that there exists a Reserve Fund Deficiency due to a reduction in the
market value of securities deposited in the Reserve Fund, as determined by the
Trustee pursuant to a valuation effected as provided in the Trust Agreement, the
Partnership shall be obligated to replenish the Reserve Fund within 20 Business
Days after receipt of notice from the Trustee. The Partnership shall direct the
Trustee to cause the moneys held in the Reserve Fund to be invested in
Investment Obligations (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of such long-term or
short-term maturities as the Partnership elects; provided that such Investment
Obligations deposited in the Reserve Fund shall mature or be subject to
redemption (at the option of the holder thereof) not later than the respective
dates when moneys held to the credit of such fund or account will be required
for the purposes intended.
Pledge Agreement and Mortgage. The Bonds will be secured by a pledge of
real estate and leasehold mortgage notes in the principal amounts of $ and
$ , respectively, and bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum
(collectively, the 'Mortgage Notes'). The Mortgage Notes will be secured by a
first priority mortgage lien on the Hotel and on the Palominos lease (the
'Mortgages'), subject only to the Permitted Liens (as defined in the Loan
Agreement).
The Mortgage Notes will be pledged to AFICA pursuant to the pledge
agreement (the 'Pledge Agreement') as security for the obligations of the
Partnership under the Loan Agreement. AFICA will assign its rights under the
Pledge Agreement and the Mortgage Notes to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Bondholders.
A mortgagee title insurance policy insuring the Mortgages as a first
priority lien on the Hotel, subject only to Permitted Liens, will be delivered
on the Date of Issuance in an amount equal to the principal amount of the
Mortgage Notes.
47
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Personal Property Security Agreements. The Bonds are additionally secured
by a personal property security agreement which creates a first priority
security interest in a substantial portion of the Partnership's tangible and
intangible personal property, including accounts receivable and tangible assets,
used in connection with the operation of the Resort. If sufficient moneys were
otherwise not available in the Bond Fund and the Debt Service Reserve Fund for
the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, the Trustee may
institute proceedings to cause the enforcement of its security interests under
such security agreements.
Assignments. As security for its obligations under the Loan Agreement, the
Partnership will enter into an Assignment of Rents and an Assignment of
Contracts (which will include the Management Agreement). The assignment
contracts perfect an assignment of certain contracts, leases, subleases,
concessions and other agreements and licenses related to the operation of the
Resort.

SUMMARY OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT
The following summary which describes certain provisions of the Loan
Agreement, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified
by reference to, the Loan Agreement, including the definitions therein of terms
not defined in this Official Statement and Prospectus. A copy of the Loan
Agreement is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this
Official Statement and Prospectus is a part. Capitalized terms used in this
section and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan
Agreement.
AFICA will issue the Bonds and lend the proceeds to the Partnership. The
Partnership will agree to make payments directly to the Trustee which, together
with amounts then held in the Bond Fund established under the Trust Agreement,
will be sufficient to make the payments of principal of and interest on such
Bonds as the same become due. The obligations of the Partnership under the Loan
Agreement will be absolute and unconditional without right of set-off for any
reason.
Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Partnership will agree to indemnify
AFICA and to pay the costs and expenses of indemnifying the Trustee against any
losses arising from the operation of the Resort or their participation in the
financing (subject to certain exceptions) and will agree to pay the fees and
expenses of AFICA and the Trustee.
AFICA will assign all its rights under the Loan Agreement (except for
certain rights of AFICA to indemnification, exemption from liability and the
payment of costs and expenses) to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement.
BOND PROCEEDS
The proceeds of the Bonds (exclusive of the Reserve Fund Amount) will be
deposited with the Trustee in the Project Fund established pursuant to the Trust
Agreement. The Trustee will make disbursements from the Project Fund to pay for
the Costs (as defined in the Trust Agreement) immediately after completion of
the Offering.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION OF THE RESORT
The Partnership will agree to cause the Resort to be operated as an
Industrial Facility (as defined in the Act) and to be maintained, preserved and
kept in good repair, working order and condition and from time to time to make
all necessary and proper repairs, replacements and renewals; provided, however,
that the Partnership will have no obligation to cause to be maintained,
preserved, repaired, replaced or renewed any element or unit of the Resort the
maintenance, repair, replacement or renewal of which, in the opinion of the
Partnership, becomes uneconomical to the Partnership because of damage or
destruction or obsolescence, or change in economic or business conditions, or
change in government standards and regulations, or the termination by the
Partnership of the operation of the facilities to which such element or unit of
the Resort is an adjunct.
DISPOSITION OF PROJECT; ASSIGNMENT OF LOAN AGREEMENT; MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF
THE PARTNERSHIP
The Resort may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of with the prior
written consent of AFICA and the Trustee. The said consent shall not be required
if the following conditions are met: (1) the Partnership (i) notifies AFICA, the
Trustee and the Rating Agency of the proposed transaction, and (ii) provides to
AFICA and the Trustee proof reasonably satisfactory to them (which may include
an opinion of counsel approved by AFICA and the Trustee) that the consummation
of the proposed transaction will not result in the interest payable on the Bonds
not continuing to constitute income from sources within Puerto Rico under the
Code; and (2) the Rating Agency provides confirmation that the rating on the
Bonds will not be withdrawn or downgraded as a result of the consummation of the
proposed transaction. No such sale, lease or
49
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
other disposition will relieve the Partnership of its obligations to make
payments under the Loan Agreement sufficient to pay principal of and interest on
the Bonds as the same become due.
The Partnership may assign the Loan Agreement with the prior written
consent of AFICA and the Trustee. The said consent shall not be required if (A)
the conditions mentioned in (1) and (2) of the prior paragraph are complied with
by the Partnership and (B) the assignee (i) expressly assumes in writing the
Partnership's obligations under the Loan Agreement and (ii) delivers to AFICA
and the Trustee a certificate executed by its chief financial officer or
treasurer stating that none of the obligations and covenants under the Loan
Agreement and the Related Documents assumed by it, or the performance thereof
will conflict with, or constitute on the part of such assignee a breach of, or
default under, any indenture, mortgage, agreement or other instrument to which
such assignee is a party or by which it is bound, or any existing law, rule,
regulation, judgment, order or decree to which such assignee is subject.
So long as any Bonds are outstanding, the Partnership will not dispose of
all or substantially all of its assets and will not consolidate or merge into
another entity; provided, however, that the Partnership may do so if, (1) the
successor or transferee entity is organized under the laws of Puerto Rico or any
state of the United States and complies with the source of income covenants
contained in the Loan Agreement (the 'Source of Income Covenants'); and (2) if
the conditions mentioned in (A) and (B) of the prior paragraph are complied with
by the Partnership or the successor or transferee, as the case may be.
MAINTENANCE OF SOURCE OF INCOME; ADDITIONAL INTEREST UPON EVENT OF TAXABILITY
The Partnership will agree under the Loan Agreement that during each
taxable year while the Bonds are outstanding it will comply with the Source of
Income Covenants so that all interest paid or payable on the Bonds will
constitute income from sources within Puerto Rico under the provisions of the
Code as in effect on the Date of Issuance. Failure to comply with the Source of
Income Covenants shall constitute an Event of Taxability. If an Event of
Taxability occurs, the Partnership is required to pay additional interest
('Additional Interest') to each Qualifying Bondholder who receives or accrues
interest on the Bonds subject to federal income taxation as a result thereof.
Under the Loan Agreement the Partnership will be required to cause its
independent accountants to submit, no later than the last day of the third month
following the close of each of its taxable years, a report (which shall be made
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards) stating whether in
connection with their audit of the books and records of the Partnership, it
failed to comply with any of the Source of Income Covenants during the taxable
year just ended and if as a consequence thereof, (i) the interest paid to, or
accrued by a Beneficial Owner on the Bonds constituted income from sources
outside Puerto Rico for purposes of the Code as in effect on the Date of
Issuance, and (ii) in his opinion, under the Code as in effect on the date of
such report, interest paid or accrued on Bonds held by a Qualifying Bondholder
is includable in the gross income and subject to the payment of income taxes, a
credit for the payment of which is not otherwise available to the Qualifying
Bondholder. Upon receipt of such report, the Trustee shall promptly cause a copy
thereof to be mailed to each person who is a Bondholder or who was a Bondholder
during the then current calendar year and during the immediately preceding
calendar year. Thereafter, any Qualifying Bondholder who has paid or is required
to pay income taxes under the Code in respect of the interest paid or accrued on
the Bonds may submit a written claim for Additional Interest. Such claim must
set forth in reasonable detail the basis therefor and the calculation of the
Additional Interest and must be submitted to the Trustee and the Partnership
within 180 days from the date of receipt of the Trustee's notice of an
independent accountants report showing that an Event of Taxability occurred. The
Partnership will pay such claim for Additional Interest to the Qualifying
Bondholder within 30 days from the date the Partnership receives the notice of
claim from the Qualifying Bondholder.
50
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
COVENANTS
In connection with the Offering, the Partnership agreed to certain
limitations on additional indebtedness and liens, and transactions with
affiliates. Additionally, the Partnership agreed not to conduct any business
other than the operation of the Resort. These covenants may be amended or
eliminated without the consent of or notice to any Bondholder, so long as the
Rating Agency confirms that such action will not result in a downgrading or
withdrawal of its rating of the Bonds below the initial rating of the Bonds.
The Loan Agreement contains covenants of the Partnership normally required
of borrowers with respect to properties similar to that of the Hotel, including
covenants with respect to compliance with environmental laws and regulations and
maintenance of insurance. The Loan Agreement permits the Partnership to restore
or replace the Resort or portions thereof in the event of any damage due to
casualty or loss due to condemnation upon compliance with certain conditions set
forth therein.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Each of the following is an event of default under the Loan Agreement:
(a) failure by the Partnership to pay the amounts required to be paid
with respect to principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds
when the same shall become due and payable;
(b) failure by the Partnership to make any other payments (excluding
payments referred to in (a) above and payments to replenish the Reserve
Fund) required by the Loan Agreement and continuation of such failure for
30 days after written notice thereof unless an extension is granted by the
Trustee prior to its expiration;
(c) failure by the Partnership to observe and perform any other
covenant, condition, or agreement under the Loan Agreement (other than (a)
or (b) above) and continuation of such failure for 90 days after written
notice thereof from the trustee or AFICA unless an extension is granted by
the Trustee prior to its expiration; provided, however, that if such
failure cannot be corrected within such 90-day period, it shall not
constitute an event of default if corrective action is instituted by the
Partnership during such period and diligently pursued until such failure is
corrected; and
(d) certain events of bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceedings
involving the Partnership.
If by reason of Force Majeure, as defined in the Loan Agreement, the
Partnership is unable to perform any of its obligations under (b) and (c) above,
the Partnership shall not be deemed in default during the continuance of such
inability, including reasonable time for the removal of the effect thereof.
Upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events of default, the Trustee
may declare all unpaid amounts payable under the Loan Agreement in respect of
the Bonds to be immediately due and payable and may take any action at law or
equity necessary to collect the payments then due and thereafter to become due,
or to enforce any obligation of the Partnership under the Loan Agreement. No
remedial steps shall be taken, however, the effect of which would be to provide
funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds which have not
yet matured or otherwise become due unless such principal and interest shall
have been declared due and payable under the Trust Agreement.
AFICA has no power to waive any default under the Loan Agreement or extend
the time for the correction of any default that could become an Event of Default
without the consent of the Trustee.

the remedies available under the Loan Agreement upon a default in any such
obligation shall be only against the Partnership and its assets, including the
Resort, and shall include foreclosure upon the Security Agreements.

SUMMARY OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT
The following summary which describes certain provisions of the Trust
Agreement, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified
by reference to, the Trust Agreement, including the definitions therein of terms
not defined in this Official Statement and Prospectus. A copy of the Trust
Agreement is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this
Official Statement and Prospectus is a part. Capitalized terms used in this
section and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Trust Agreement.
The Trust Agreement will constitute an assignment by AFICA to the Trustee
of all of AFICA's right, title and interest in the Loan Agreement and the
Security Agreements (except for certain rights of AFICA to indemnification,
exemption from liability, the payment of costs and expenses and the receipt of
notices) in trust as security for the payment of the principal of and interest
on the Bonds.
PROJECT FUND
The proceeds of the sale of the Bonds will be deposited in the Project
Fund. Payments will be made from the Project Fund to pay the Costs immediately
after completion of the Offering.
BOND FUND
The Trust Agreement will establish with the Trustee a Bond Fund that shall
be used for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The
following amounts will be deposited in the Bond Fund: (i) all amounts paid
pursuant to the Loan Agreement with respect to principal of and interest on the
Bonds, including payments with respect to optional and mandatory prepayments of
the Bonds; (ii) all amounts derived from the Security Agreements; and (iii) all
other moneys received by the Trustee or otherwise which are permitted or
required, or are directed by the Partnership or AFICA to be paid into the Bond
Fund.
RESERVE FUND
On the Date of Issuance, an amount equal to the Reserve Fund Amount will be
deposited in the Reserve Fund created under the Trust Agreement. Thereafter, the
Partnership is required to make additional deposits from time to time so that
the amounts held to the credit of the Reserve Fund are not less than the Reserve
Fund Amount. The Trustee shall use amounts held to the credit of the Reserve
Fund to make transfers to the Bond Fund to the extent necessary to pay interest
on and principal of the Bonds (whether at maturity, or upon acceleration or
redemption), whenever and to the extent that the monies on deposit in the Bond
Fund are insufficient therefor.
After the Trustee makes any disbursement from the Reserve Fund, the
Partnership is obligated to deposit with the Trustee, on the 20th Business Day
succeeding the receipt of notice from the Trustee, sufficient funds to cause the
amount then to the credit of the Reserve Fund to equal the Reserve Fund Amount.
The Partnership is also required to similarly deposit any amount necessary to
cover any loss resulting from a decline in value of Investment Obligations held
to the credit of the Reserve Fund if on any date of valuation the value of such
Investment Obligations and other amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund is less
than the Reserve Fund Amount.
INVESTMENT OF FUNDS
Moneys held for the credit of all funds and accounts under the Trust
Agreement shall be invested in Investment Obligations in accordance with the
instructions of the Partnership. Any such Investment Obligations shall mature
not later than the respective dates when the money held for the credit of such
funds or accounts will be required for the purposes intended.
Investment Obligations are defined as Government Obligations and
obligations of any agency or instrumentality whose obligations are backed by the
full faith and credit of the United States of America and, to the extent from

such rating agency) or whose long-term obligations are rated in one of the three
highest rating categories by Moody's (without regard to any gradations within
such categories) secured by Government Obligations or by securities described in
clause (A); provided, that such repurchase agreement must provide that the value
of the underlying obligations shall be maintained at a current market value,
calculated at least weekly, of not less than 104% of the repurchase price (or in
the case such underlying obligations are obligations of the Federal National
Mortgage Association or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, of not less
than 105% of the repurchase price), a legal opinion shall be furnished to the
Trustee to the effect that the repurchase agreement meets guidelines under the
laws of Puerto Rico for the legal investment of public funds, the Trustee shall
be given a first priority security interest, no independent third party shall
have a lien, such obligations repurchased must be transferred to the Trustee or
an independent third party agent by physical delivery or by an entry made on the
records of the issuer of such obligations, in either case, the entity should
receive confirmation from the independent third party that those securities are
being held in a safekeeping account in the name of the entity (the trust or
safekeeping departments of broker-dealers or financial institutions selling
investments or pledging collateral or underlying securities, or their custodial
agents, are not considered independent third parties for the foregoing
purposes), such repurchase agreement shall constitute a 'repurchase agreement'
within the meaning of Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as
amended, and any investment in a repurchase agreement shall mature within 30
days; (C) debt obligations and commercial paper rated [' '] or better by
Moody's; (D) U.S. Treasury Strips, REFCORP Strips and FICO Strips; (E) money

uninsured and unguaranteed obligation rating of [' '] or better by Moody's;
(J) any Puerto Rico administered pool investment fund in which AFICA is
statutorily permitted or required to invest; and (K) any other obligation,
security or investment for which the Trustee shall have received written
confirmation from Moody's to the effect that no reduction in the rating on the
Bonds will result from the addition of such other obligation, security or

EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Each of the following events is an event of default under the Trust
Agreement:
(a) failure to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest
on the Bonds when the same shall become due and payable by AFICA;
(b) certain events of bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency,
liquidation or similar proceedings involving the Partnership; or
(c) any 'event of default' (other than an event of default of the type
described in (a) or (b) above) shall have occurred under the Loan Agreement
and such event of default shall not have been remedied or waived.
ACCELERATION OF MATURITIES
Upon the happening and continuance of an event of default specified above,
the Trustee may, and upon the written request of Holders of not less than 25% in
aggregate principal amounts of Bonds then outstanding shall, by notice in
writing to AFICA, declare the principal of all the Bonds then outstanding (if
not then due and payable) to be due and payable immediately, and upon such
declaration the same shall become and be immediately due and payable.
If at any time after the principal of Bonds shall have been declared to be
due and payable, and before the entry of a final judgment or decree in any suit,
action or proceeding instituted on account of such default, or before the
completion of the enforcement of any other remedy under the Trust Agreement,
moneys shall have accumulated in the Bond Fund sufficient to pay the principal
of all Bonds then outstanding (except the principal of any Bonds due and payable
solely as a result of such acceleration) and the interest accrued on such Bonds
since the last payment date to which interest shall have been paid or duly
provided for, interest on overdue installments of interest (to the extent
permitted by law) at the rate or rates then borne by the Bonds, and the charges,
compensation, expenses, disbursements, advances and liabilities of the Trustee,
and all other amounts then payable by AFICA under the Trust Agreement shall have
been paid or a sum sufficient to pay the same shall have been deposited with the
Trustee, and every other default known to the Trustee in the observance or
performance of any covenant, condition, agreement or provision contained in the
Bonds or in the Trust Agreement shall have been cured or waived, then and in
every such case the Trustee may, and upon the written direction of the Holders
of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then
outstanding shall, by a notice in writing to AFICA and the Partnership, rescind
and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such rescission or
annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
ENFORCEMENT OF REMEDIES
The Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal of Bonds then
outstanding will have the right, subject to indemnification of the Trustee, by
an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Trustee, to
direct the remedial proceedings to be taken by the Trustee under the Trust
Agreement provided such directions are in accordance with law and the Trust
Agreement and the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee
which is not inconsistent with such directions. Except as to the indemnity
provided in the Loan Agreement with respect to an Event of Taxability, no
Bondholder will have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law on any Bond or for the execution of any trust under the Trust
Agreement, or for any other remedy under the Trust Agreement unless: (i) such
Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of the event of
default on account of which such suit, action or proceeding is to be instituted;
(ii) the Holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate principal of Bonds then
outstanding have requested the Trustee, after the right to execute such powers
or right of action, as the case may be, has accrued, and have afforded the
Trustee a reasonable opportunity, either to proceed to exercise such powers or
to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its or their name; (iii) the
Trustee has been offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred (including, without
55
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
limitation, indemnification for environmental liability); and (iv) the Trustee
has refused or neglected to comply with such request within a reasonable time.
No one or more Holders will have any right, in any manner, to affect, disturb or
prejudice any rights under the Trust Agreement, or to enforce any right
thereunder, except in the manner therein provided. All suits, actions and
proceedings at law or in equity must be instituted, had and maintained in the
manner provided in the Trust Agreement and for the benefit of the Holders. Any
individual right of action or other right given to one or more Holder by law is
restricted by the Trust Agreement to the rights and remedies therein provided.
AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS TO THE TRUST AGREEMENT
The Trust Agreement may be amended or supplemented without the consent of
the Holders: (a) to cure any ambiguity or to make any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising under the Trust Agreement consistent
with the provisions of the Trust Agreement; or (b) to grant or confer upon the
Trustee for the benefit of the Holders any additional rights, remedies, powers,
benefits, authority or security that may lawfully be so granted or conferred; or
(c) to add to the covenants of AFICA for the benefit of the Holders or to
surrender any right or power conferred upon AFICA under the Trust Agreement; or
(d) to permit the qualification of the Trust Agreement under the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939 or any similar federal statute hereafter in effect or to permit the
qualification of the Bonds for sale under the securities laws of any of the
states of the United States, and to add to the Trust Agreement or any supplement
or amendment thereto such other terms, conditions and provisions as may be
required by said Trust Indenture Act of 1939 or similar federal statute.
The Trust Agreement may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the
Holders of a majority of the principal of the Bonds outstanding at the time.
However, without the consent of each Holder affected, any amendment to the Trust
Agreement may not: (a) extend the time for the payment of the principal of or
the interest on any Bond; or (b) reduce the principal of any Bond or the
redemption premium, if any, or the rate of interest thereon; or (c) create any
lien or security interest with respect to the Loan Agreement or the payments
thereunder; or (d) give a preference or priority to any Bond or Bonds over any
other Bond or Bonds; or (e) reduce the aggregate principal of the Bonds required
for consent to such supplement or amendment or any waiver thereunder.
The Trustee is not obligated to execute any proposed supplement or
amendment if its rights, obligations and interests would be affected thereby.
Nothing herein will affect any preexisting rights to create liens set forth in
the Trust Agreement.
No amendment or supplement to the Trust Agreement, other than to cure any
ambiguity, will become effective without the consent of the Partnership.
AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS TO THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE RELATED DOCUMENTS
The Loan Agreement and the Related Documents may be amended or supplemented
without the consent of the Holders: (a) to cure any ambiguity or formal defect
or omission therein or, in any supplement thereto; (b) to grant to or confer
upon AFICA or the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders any additional rights,
remedies, powers, benefits, authority or security that may lawfully be granted
to or conferred upon AFICA, the Trustee or the Holders; and (c) to add to the

the time. No amendment or supplement to the Loan Agreement or the Related
Documents will become effective without the consent of the Trustee.

DEFEASANCE
Any Bond will be deemed paid and no longer entitled to any security under
the Trust Agreement upon satisfaction of certain conditions and the deposit with
the Trustee of sufficient funds, or direct obligations of the United States of
America or obligations unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of
America, the principal of and the interest on which, when due (without any
reinvestment thereof), will provide moneys which will be sufficient to pay when
due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest due and to become due,
excluding Additional Interest, on such Bond. The Partnership will be required to
indemnify the Beneficial Owners for any Additional Interest. If any Bond is not
to be redeemed or does not mature within 60 days after such deposit, the
Partnership must give irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to give notice, in
the same manner as notice of redemption, that such deposit has been made. The
Bonds shall have not been deemed paid unless the Trustee shall have received an
opinion of counsel experienced in bankruptcy matters to the effect that payment
to the Beneficial Owners would not constitute a transfer which may be voided
under the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, and an opinion of
counsel experienced in tax matters under the Code to the effect that, assuming
the Partnership will continue to comply with the Source of Income Covenant, the
deposit of said obligations or moneys would not adversely affect the treatment
of interest received by the Beneficial Owners as income from sources within
Puerto Rico.
AFICA
GENERAL
AFICA is a body corporate and politic constituting a public corporation and
governmental instrumentality of Puerto Rico. The Legislature of Puerto Rico
determined that the development and expansion of commerce, industry, and health
and educational services within Puerto Rico is essential to the economic growth
of Puerto Rico and to attain full employment and preserve the health, welfare,
safety and prosperity of all its citizens. The Legislature also determined that
new methods of financing capital investments were required to promote industry
in Puerto Rico and to provide modern and efficient medical facilities for the
citizens of Puerto Rico. Accordingly, AFICA was created under Act No. 121 of the
Legislature of Puerto Rico, approved June 27, 1977, as amended (the 'Act'), for
the purpose of promoting the economic development, health, welfare and safety of
the citizens of Puerto Rico. AFICA is authorized to borrow money through the
issuance of revenue bonds and to loan the proceeds thereof to finance and
refinance the acquisition, development, construction and equipping of
industrial, tourist, educational, medical and environmental pollution control
and solid waste disposal facilities. AFICA has no taxing power. AFICA's offices
are located at Minillas Government Center, De Diego Avenue, Stop 22, San Juan,
Puerto Rico 00940. AFICA's telephone number is (787) 782-4060.
GOVERNING BOARD
The Act provides that the governing board (the 'Governing Board') of AFICA
shall consist of seven members. The President of GDB, the Executive Director of
Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company, the Executive Director of Puerto
Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority, the President of the Puerto Rico
Environmental Quality Board and the Executive Director of the Puerto Rico
Tourism Company are each ex officio members of the Governing Board. The
remaining two members of the Governing Board are appointed by the Governor of
Puerto Rico
57
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
for terms of four years. The following individuals are the current members of
the Governing Board:

The Act provides that the affirmative vote of four members is sufficient
for any action taken by the Governing Board.
The following individuals are currently officers of AFICA:
LOURDES M. ROVIRA, Executive Director of AFICA, is also President of
GDB. Ms. Rovira was the Executive Vice President of GDB from 1996 until her
appointment as President. Prior to her appointment at GDB, Ms. Rovira was
the chief financial officer of the University of Puerto Rico system. Ms.
Rovira received a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the
University of Puerto Rico in 1972.
VELMARIE BERLINGERI, Assistant Executive Director of AFICA, is also a
Vice President of GDB. Ms. Berlingeri has been associated with GDB since
1993. Prior to her appointment, Ms. Berlingeri worked in the investments
area of a major private sector corporation in Puerto Rico. Ms. Berlingeri

University in 1982.
OUTSTANDING REVENUE BONDS AND NOTES OF AFICA
As of June 30, 1998, AFICA had revenue bonds and notes issued and
outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $2.2 billion.
All such bond and note issues have been authorized and issued pursuant to
trust agreements or resolutions separate from and unrelated to the Trust
Agreement relating to the Bonds and are payable from sources other than the
payments under the Loan Agreement.
Under the Act, AFICA may issue additional bonds and notes from time to time
to finance and refinance industrial, tourist, educational, medical or pollution
control facilities. However, any such bonds and notes would be authorized and
issued pursuant to other trust agreements or resolutions separate from and
unrelated to the Trust Agreement relating to the Bonds and would be payable from
sources other than the payments under the Loan Agreement.

GOVERNMENT DEVELOPMENT BANK FOR PUERTO RICO
As required by Act No. 272 of the Legislature of Puerto Rico, approved May
15, 1945, as amended, GDB has acted as a financial advisor to AFICA in
connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds.
GDB is a public corporation with varied governmental financial functions.
Its principal functions are to act as financial advisor to and fiscal agent for
Puerto Rico, its municipalities and its public corporations in connection with
the issuance of bonds and notes, to make advances to public corporations and to
make loans to private enterprises that will aid in the economic development of
Puerto Rico. The Underwriter has been selected by GDB to act from time to time
as underwriter of its obligations and the obligations of Puerto Rico, its
instrumentalities and public corporations. The Underwriter or its affiliates
also participate in other financial transactions with GDB.
TAX MATTERS
In the opinion of Fiddler Gonzalez & Rodriguez, LLP, Bond Counsel, under
the provisions of the Acts of Congress and the laws of Puerto Rico now in force:
1. The Bonds, and the transfer of the Bonds, including any gain
derived upon the sale of the Bonds, are exempt from Puerto Rico income tax
pursuant to Article 8(b) of the Act.
2. Interest on the Bonds is: (i) excluded from the gross income of the
recipient thereof for Puerto Rico income tax purposes pursuant to Section
1022(b)(4)(B) of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the 'PR-Code'); (ii) exempt from Puerto Rico income tax and alternative
minimum tax pursuant to Section 1022(b)(4)(B) of the PR-Code, Article 8(b)
of the Act, and Section 3 of Puerto Rican Federal Relations Act (the
'PRFRA'); and (iii) exempt from Puerto Rico municipal license tax pursuant
to Section 9(25) of the Puerto Rico Municipal License Tax Act of 1974, as
amended, and Section 3 of the PRFRA.
3. The Bonds are exempt from Puerto Rico personal property tax
pursuant Section 3.11 of the Puerto Rico Municipal Property Tax Act of
1991, as amended, and Section 3 of the PRFRA.
4. The Bonds are exempt from Puerto Rico (i) gift tax with respect to
donors who are residents of Puerto Rico at the time the gift is made and
(ii) estate tax with respect to estates of decedents who are residents of
Puerto Rico at the time of death, excluding, in each case, United States
citizens who acquired their United States citizenship other than by reason
of birth or residence in Puerto Rico.
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, based upon the provisions of the Code now
in force and assuming that the Partnership complies with the Source of Income
Covenants, then:
1. interest on the Bonds received by, or accrued to, an individual who
is a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico during the entire taxable year in
which such interest is received or accrued is excludable from gross income
for income tax purposes under the Code;
2. interest on the Bonds received by, or accrued to, a corporation
organized under the laws of Puerto Rico or any foreign country is not
subject to federal income taxation provided such interest or original issue
discount is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business in the United States by such corporation; and
3. interest on the Bonds is not excludable from the gross income of
the recipients thereof for federal income tax purposes under Section 103(a)
of the Code.
United States taxpayers, other than individuals who are bona fide residents
of Puerto Rico during the entire taxable year, may be subject to federal income
tax on any gain realized upon the sale or exchange of the Bonds. Pursuant to
Notice 89-40 issued by the United States Internal Revenue Service on March 27,
1989, gain on the sale of the Bonds (excluding 'original issue discount' accrued
under the Code as of the date of such sale or exchange) by an individual who is
a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico during the entire taxable year and that is a
resident of
59
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Puerto Rico for purposes of Section 865(g)(1) of the Code will constitute Puerto
Rico source income and, therefore, qualify for the exclusion provided in Section
933(1) of the Code, provided such Bonds do not constitute inventory in the hands
of such individual.
You should be aware that ownership of the Bonds may result in having a
portion of your interest expense allocable to interest on the Bonds disallowed
for purposes of computing the regular tax and the alternative minimum tax for
Puerto Rico income tax purposes.
The opinion of Bond Counsel regarding the tax consequences under the Code
and the PR-Code arising from ownership or disposition of the Bonds is limited to
the above.
RATING
The Bonds are expected to be rated 'Baa2' by Moody's. There is no assurance
that the rating given to the Bonds will remain in effect for any given period or
that it will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by Moody's if, in its
sole judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or
withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the
Bonds.
The rating given to the Bonds reflects only the views of Moody's. An
explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained only from Moody's
at 99 Church Street, New York, New York 10007. The rating does not constitute a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold the Bonds.
Moody's was provided with materials relating to the Partnership, the
Resort, the Bonds and other relevant information, and no application has been
made to any other rating agency for purposes of obtaining a rating on the Bonds.
In addition, if requested, the Partnership shall deliver to Moody's, from time
to time, such documents and other relevant information required for purposes of
its due diligence on the assigned rating to the Bonds.
LEGAL INVESTMENT
The Bonds will be eligible for deposit by banks in Puerto Rico to secure
public funds and will be approved investments for insurance companies to qualify
them to do business in Puerto Rico as required by law.
UNDERWRITING
The Underwriter of the Bonds is: Citicorp Financial Services Corporation,
with its principal corporate office in Citibank Center, Lomas Verdes Avenue,
Cupey, Puerto Rico.
Subject to the terms and conditions of a certain bond purchase agreement to
be entered into among AFICA, the Partnership and the Underwriter (the 'Bond
Purchase Agreement'), AFICA will agree to sell to the Underwriter, and the
Underwriters will agree to purchase from AFICA, all of the Bonds listed on the
inside front cover page of this Official Statement and Prospectus. The
Underwriter will purchase the Bonds at the public offering price thereof less
the underwriting discount set forth below:

------------------------
The Underwriter proposes initially to offer the Bonds to the public, when,
as and if issued by AFICA and accepted by the Underwriter, at the initial public
offering prices set forth or derived from information shown on the inside front
cover page of this Official Statement and Prospectus.
60
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The initial offering prices may be changed from time to time by the Underwriter.
The Underwriter may offer and sell the Bonds to certain dealers (including
dealers depositing Bonds into investment trusts) and others at prices lower than
the initial public offering prices stated or derived from information shown on
the inside front cover page hereof.
The Bond Purchase Agreement will provide that the obligations of the
Underwriters thereunder are subject to approval of certain legal matters by
counsel and to various other conditions. The Underwriter is committed to
purchase all of the Bonds if any are purchased.
Prior to the Offering, there has been no active market for the Bonds. The
Underwriter has advised the Partnership that it presently intends to make a
market in the Bonds as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. The
Underwriter is not obligated, however, to make a market in the Bonds and any
such market making may be discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of the
Underwriter. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or
trading markets for, the Bonds.
The Partnership will agree to indemnify the Underwriter and AFICA against
certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. IN
THE OPINION OF THE COMMISSION, INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT IS AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY AND THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.
The Underwriter has in the past and may from time to time in the future
provide underwriting and other investment banking services to the Partnership.
In addition, CRE, an affiliate of Underwriter, is the lender under the Interim
Financing and, in such capacity received customary fees for such services.
LEGAL MATTERS
Legal matters incident to the authorization, issuance and sale of the Bonds
are subject to the unqualified approving opinion of Fiddler Gonzalez &
Rodriguez, LLP, San Juan, Puerto Rico, Bond Counsel. Certain legal matters will
be passed upon for the Partnership by Shack & Siegel, P.C., New York, New York
and by McConnell Valdes, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and for the Underwriter by
Pietrantoni Mendez & Alvarez, San Juan, Puerto Rico.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE COVENANT
The Partnership will enter into a Continuing Disclosure Agreement with the
Trustee (the 'Continuing Disclosure Agreement') wherein the Partnership will

the Management Agreement became effective as of April 1, 1997.
(2) Reflects the reduction in base management fees from 3.5% to 2.5% of gross
revenues of the Resort, implementation of a trade name fee of 0.5% of gross

interest thereon. No adjustment has been made with respect to the new
marketing fee of 1.5% of gross room revenues of the Hotel and 1.0% gross

Agreement. The Partnership believes that the Hotel's historical marketing
expenses will not increase and that a portion of such expenses will be
reallocated from a Hotel expense to a fee for marketing services.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Partners
EL CONQUISTADOR PARTNERSHIP L.P.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of El Conquistador Partnership
L.P. as of December 31 and March 31, 1997, and the related statements of
operations and deficiency in partners' capital, and cash flows for the nine
month period ended December 31, 1997 and for each of the two years in the period
ended March 31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of El Conquistador Partnership
L.P. at December 31 and March 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the nine month period ended December 31, 1997 and for each of
the two years in the period ended March 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that El
Conquistador Partnership L.P. will continue as a going-concern. As more fully
described in Note 14, El Conquistador Partnership L.P. did not renew or replace,
prior to June 9, 1998, a letter of credit collateralizing $120,000,000 of
indebtedness and the debt was required to be repaid on August 3, 1998. The debt
was repaid partially with the proceeds from a short-term loan due on November 3,
1998 and partially with the proceeds of an advance from Posadas de Puerto Rico
Associates, Incorporated, an affiliate of the Partnership. This condition raises
substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a
going-concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classifications of
assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
The Partnership has an Operating and Management Agreement (the Management
Agreement) with Williams Hospitality. The Management Agreement provides that
Williams Hospitality will manage the Resort for a period of 20 years for a basic
management fee of 3.5% of the Resort's gross revenues, as defined, and an
incentive management fee of 10% of the Resort's operating profit, as defined.
Incentive management fees accrued each year are not payable until significant
cash flow levels are achieved. In addition, the Partnership is required to pay
certain administrative expenses incurred by Williams Hospitality in connection
with management of the Resort.
During each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 1997 and the
nine month period ended December 31, 1997, basic management fees amounted to
$3,305,000, $3,170,000 and $2,125,000, respectively. Incentive management fees
amounted to approximately $2,376,000, $2,224,000 and $860,000 during each of the
two years in the period ended March 31, 1997 and the nine month period ended
December 31, 1997, respectively. In addition, Williams Hospitality charged the
Partnership approximately $3,258,000, $2,728,000 and $83,000 during each of the
two years in the period ended March 31, 1997 and the nine month period ended
December 31, 1997, respectively, for services provided to the Resort.
In addition, the Partnership was charged by Posadas de Puerto Rico
Associates, Incorporated (Posadas de Puerto Rico), hotel and casino operations
affiliated through common ownership, approximately $410,000, $437,000 and
$32,000 during each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 1997 and the
nine month period ended December 31, 1997, respectively, for services provided
to the Resort.
As of December 31, 1997 each partner had advanced $8,765,685 to the
Partnership under notes that are due for various periods up to ten years with
interest at the Citibank, N.A. in New York base rate. Repayment of interest and
principal is subordinate to other long-term debt. In addition, each partner had
advanced to the Partnership $4,000,000 under a May 5, 1992 loan agreement. The
loan agreement provides for the payment of interest at a variable rate, computed
quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 1.75%. Interest payments will be deferred during
the first five years. The principal and deferred interest accrued at December
31, 1997 is payable in quarterly installments of $250,000 commencing in March
2000 and a final lump-sum payment in February 2002. The loan is collateralized
by a subordinated pledge of the Partnership's assets.
As of December 31, 1997 each partner had provided $3,800,000 to cover cash
flow deficiencies in the Partnership's operations as provided by the Agreement.
The deficiency loans consist of $3,800,000 in cash by Kumagai, and the
conversion of amounts due from the Partnership to
F-15

EL CONQUISTADOR PARTNERSHIP L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1997
Williams Hospitality to loans for WKA El Con. The deficiency loans bear interest
at 9.16%. Repayment of interest and principal is subordinated to other long-term
debt.
During 1993, the Partnership advanced approximately $2,000,000 to Williams
Hospitality for the purchase of transportation equipment leased to the
Partnership under a five year service agreement. Service agreement payments by
the Partnership are equal to the $39,819 monthly amounts receivable under the
advance. Repayment of the advances by Williams Hospitality are limited to
amounts payable under the service agreement. During the nine month period ended
December 31, 1997, Williams Hospitality transferred the transportation equipment
to the Partnership. The Partnership then sold the transportation equipment at a
loss of approximately $70,000 and the proceeds of this transaction remains to be
collected from Williams Hospitality.
In addition, a subsidiary of Williams Hospitality financed other
transportation equipment from an external borrowing amounting to $441,000
repayable over five years. Monthly payments amount to $9,699. Also, in February
1997, a subsidiary of Williams Hospitality financed a ferryboat from an external
borrowing amounting to $456,000, repayable over seven years. Monthly payments
amount to $7,561. The Partnership chartered the transportation equipment and

agreement whereby the Government Development Bank for Puerto Rico (GDB) extended

facility bear interest at 1% over LIBOR. The notes are secured by a mortgage
note on the Partnership's real property and a leasehold mortgage note on leased
land and a lien on accounts receivable (see Note 8). At December 31, 1997 the
Partnership had outstanding borrowings of $6,000,000 with an interest rate at
December 31, 1997 of 6.80%.

</TABLE>
On February 7, 1991 the Puerto Rico Industrial, Medical, Educational and
Environmental Pollution Control Facilities Financing Authority (the Authority)
sold industrial revenue bonds (Bonds) for $120,000,000 and loaned the proceeds
to the Partnership to be used for the payment of project costs pursuant to a
Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement provides that the Partnership will pay all
interest and principal on the Bonds.
The Authority issued 1991 Series A, Industrial Revenue Bonds for
$90,000,000 and 1991 Series B, Industrial Revenue Bonds for $30,000,000.
Commencing on May 1, 1996, the Bonds are subject to redemption at the
Partnership's option at par plus accrued interest, if any. The Bonds are due on
November 1, 1999 and interest is payable quarterly. The 1991 Series A Bonds and
the 1991 Series B Bonds bear interest at a variable rate, computed quarterly,
equal to 100% and 94%, respectively, of a LIBOR rate minus 1/8th of 1%.
Effective November 1, 1996, the interest rate on the 1991 Series A Bonds
increased to 100% of the LIBOR rate. On February 7, 1991 the Partnership entered
into an Interest Rate Swap Agreement that expires on March 8, 1998 by which the
Partnership agreed to pay, effective May 1, 1991, a fixed rate of 7.55% on the
outstanding principal of $120,000,000 in exchange for the counterparty's
obligation to pay the variable interest rate equal to 86% and 94% respectively,
of the LIBOR rate minus 1/8th of 1%.
The Loan Agreement provides that the Partnership will deposit with the
trustee all interest which will become due not later than the 124th day
preceding the date of payment. The Bonds are collateralized by a letter of
credit, that terminates on September 9, 1998, issued by The Bank of
Tokyo -- Mitsubishi Ltd., (formerly The Mitsubishi Bank, Limited) (see Note 14).
As of December 31, 1997 the Partnership pays an annual letter of credit fee
of approximately 1.25% of the Bond principal except under certain circumstances
the rate may be reduced to 1.2%. In addition, in connection with the letter of
credit the Partnership pays an annual agent's fee of approximately .25% of the
Initial Stated Amount, as defined.
Under the provisions of a term loan agreement with GDB, the Partnership
borrowed $25,000,000 for the payment of project costs. The loan is due on
February 7, 2006. The loan agreement provides for a variable interest rate
equivalent to a LIBOR rate minus .5% plus an add-on margin as provided in the
loan agreement. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears.
Commencing on April 1, 1993, the Partnership has been required to deposit
annually with an escrow agent 50% of the Available Cash Flow, as defined in the
Loan Agreement with GDB, up to a maximum of $1,666,700 plus any prior year
requirement in arrears. Through December 31, 1997, there had been no amounts
deposited in escrow under this provision.
The Bonds and the term loan with GDB are collateralized by a first and
second mortgage lien on the Resort, a chattel mortgage on personal property, and
an assignment of various contracts and the Management Agreement with Williams
Hospitality. The collateral is subject to a
F-18
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
EL CONQUISTADOR PARTNERSHIP L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1997
subordination agreement in favor of the The Bank of Tokyo -- Mitsubishi Ltd.,
(formerly The Mitsubishi Bank, Limited).
9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 107 'Disclosures About
Fair Value of Financial Instruments', requires the disclosure of the fair value
of the Partnership's financial instruments at March 31 and December 31, 1997.
The carrying amount of cash and investments, notes payable to bank, chattel
mortgage notes and capitalized leases approximates fair value because of the
short maturity of the instruments or recent issuance. The fair value of the
Partnership's long-term debt has not been determined because similar terms and
conditions may no longer be available.
10. INCOME TAXES
The Partnership is not taxable for Puerto Rico income tax purposes pursuant
to an election submitted to the Puerto Rico Treasury Department. Instead, each
Partner reports their distributive share of the Partnership's profits and losses
in their respective income tax returns and, therefore, no provision for income
taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.
The Partnership was granted a tax exemption grant under the provisions of
the Puerto Rico Tourism Incentives Act of 1993 (the Tourism Act). The Tourism
Act provides for a ten-year grant which may be extended for an additional
ten-year term. Major benefits of this Act are: a 90% exemption from income taxes
on hotel income, and a 90% exemption from municipal real and personal property
taxes through the entire term of the grant. The Partnership's casino operations
are not covered by the tax exemption grant and are fully taxable.
11. ADVERTISING COSTS
The Partnership recognizes the costs of advertising as expense in the year
in which they are incurred. Advertising costs amounted to approximately
$1,446,000, $847,000 and $1,430,000 for each of the two years in the period
ended March 31, 1997 and the nine month period ended December 31, 1997,
respectively.
12. COMMITMENTS
The Partnership leases land under an operating lease agreement for
thirty-two years with renewal options for two five-year periods. Following are
the minimum annual rental payments on the operating lease subsequent to December
31, 1997:

plan for all hourly employees after one year of service or 1,000 hours.
Employees covered by any collective bargaining agreement are not eligible to

percentage of their after tax compensation. The Partnership's contribution is
$300 per employee per year and a discretionary additional contribution.
The Partnership's contribution to the savings plan amounted to
approximately $44,000 for the nine month period ended December 31, 1997.
Effective January 1, 1997, the Partnership adopted a salary savings plan
for all salaried employees after one year of service or 1,000 hours. Employees
covered by any collective bargaining agreement are not eligible to participate
in the plan. The plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of l974 (ERISA) and Section 1l65(e) of the Puerto Rico
Income Tax Act of l994, as amended. For the nine month period ended December 31,
1997, the employee's contribution was limited to $7,500 or 10% of their
compensation, whichever was less. Under the provisions of the plan, the
Partnership makes a minimum base contribution of $300 per participant plus a

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 16, 1998, Patriot American Hospitality Operating Company
Acquisition Subsidiary, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wyndham International, Inc.
(Wyndham) merged with and into WHG Resorts & Casinos Inc. (WHG), a 46.54%
indirect owner of WKA El Con. As part of the transaction WHG stockholders
received for each issued and outstanding share of common stock .784 shares of
Wyndham and Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. (Patriot), a self-administered
REIT, which trade as 'Paired Shares' on the New York Stock Exchange.
On March 31, 1998, Patriot acquired an additional 50% interest in the
Partnership for approximately $22,728,000, which interest was owned by Kumagai,
and an additional 37.23% interest in WKA El Con for approximately $16,072,000.
On July 13, 1998, Patriot acquired the remaining additional interest in WKA
El Con for approximately $3,890,000. The purchase transactions were accounted
for under the purchase

method and the cumulative purchase price paid by Wyndham and Patriot was the
basis used to record net assets on the records of WHG and its subsidiaries.
The Bonds amounting to $120,000,000 at December 31, 1997 are collaterized
by a letter of credit which expires on September 9, 1998. Under the terms of the
loan agreement, such debt was required to be repaid on August 3, 1998 since the
letter of credit was not renewed or replaced prior to June 9, 1998 (see Note 8).
On August 3, 1998, the letter of credit was honored and the $120,000,000 was
paid in full. In accordance with the Letter of Credit and Reimbursement
Agreement, the Partnership was obligated to immediately reimburse the letter of
credit issuer the full amount drawn under the letter of credit. On August 3,
1998, the Partnership made a partial payment of $30,000,000 and entered into an
Assignment and Modification Agreement of the Letter of Credit and Reimbursement
Agreement with Citicorp Real Estate, Inc. (CRE). CRE reimbursed the letter of
credit issuer with respect to the $90,000,000 balance due under the Letter of
Credit and Reimbursement Agreement.
As part of the Assignment and Modification Agreement, the $90,000,000
advanced by CRE matures on November 3, 1998, with an additional extension option
to March 15, 1999, if certain conditions are met. Interest on the $90,000,000 is
payable at a rate equal to 7.91% per annum up to September 1, 1998 and at a rate
equal to LIBOR plus 225 basis point up to maturity. The $30,000,000 used for the
partial payment of the letter of credit was obtained from a cash advance
received from Posadas de Puerto Rico, an affiliate company through common
ownership. In connection with the repayment of the long-term debt the
Partnership recorded an extraordinary loss of approximately $1,700,000 related
to the write-off of the unamortized deferred debt issuance costs.
The Partnership is engaged in the process of refinancing the balance due to
CRE through a new bond issue by the Authority. Based on operating history of the
Resort, the Partnership's management believes such refinancing will be achieved,
but there can be no assurance thereof. If such refinancing is not obtained, it
raises substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a
going-concern.
On September 21 and 22, 1998, Hurricane Georges affected Puerto Rico and
caused certain damage to the Resort. While the financial effects of the
hurricane are not yet determinable, the Partnership believes that the nature of
the damage and its insurance coverage is such that there will not be a
significant impact on the Partnership's financial condition.
15. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 -- UNAUDITED
The Partnership has developed a plan to modify its information technology
to be ready for the year 2000 and has begun converting critical data processing
systems. The Partnership expects the project to be substantially completed by
1999. The Partnership does not expect this project to have significant effect on
its operations.

On February 7, 1991 the Puerto Rico Industrial, Medical, Educational and
Environmental Pollution Control Facilities Financing Authority (the Authority)
sold industrial revenue bonds (Bonds) for $120,000,000 and loaned the proceeds
to El Con to be used for the payment of project costs pursuant to a Loan
Agreement. The Loan Agreement provides that El Con will pay all interest and
principal on the Bonds.
The Authority issued 1991 Series A, Industrial Revenue Bonds for
$90,000,000 and 1991 Series B, Industrial Revenue Bonds for $30,000,000.
Commencing on May 1, 1996, the Bonds were subject to redemption at El Con's
option at par plus accrued interest, if any. The Bonds are due on November 1,
1999 and interest is payable quarterly. The 1991 Series A Bonds and the 1991
Series B Bonds bear interest at a variable rate, computed quarterly, equal to
100% and 94%, respectively, of a LIBOR rate minus 1/8th of 1%. Effective
November 1, 1996, the interest rate on the 1991 Series A Bonds increased to 100%
of the LIBOR rate. On February 7, 1991 El Con entered into an Interest Rate Swap
Agreement that expired on March 8, 1998 by which El Con agreed to pay, effective
May 1, 1991, a fixed rate of 7.55% on the outstanding principal of $120,000,000
in exchange for the counterparty's obligation to pay the variable interest rate
equal to 86% and 94% respectively, of the LIBOR rate minus 1/8th of 1%.
The Loan Agreement provides that El Con will deposit with the trustee all
interest which will become due not later than the 124th day preceding the date
of payment. The Bonds are collaterilized by a letter of credit, that terminates
on September 9, 1998, issued by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ltd (formerly The
Mitsubishi Bank, Limited). The Loan Agreement required the letter of credit to
be renewed or replaced prior to June 9, 1998 or the debt amounting to
$120,000,000 would become due on August 3, 1998. On August 3, 1998, the letter
of credit was honored and the $120,000,000 was paid in full. In accordance with
the Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement, El Con was obligated to
immediately reimburse the letter of credit issuer the full amount drawn under
the letter of credit. On August 3, 1998, El Con made a partial payment of
$30,000,000 and entered into an Assignment and Modification Agreement of the
Letter of Credit Agreement with Citicorp Real Estate, Inc. (CRE). CRE reimbursed
the letter of credit issuer with respect to the $90,000,000 balance due under
the Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement. As part of the Assignment and
Modification Agreement, the remaining $90,000,000 advance by CRE matures on
November 3, 1998, with an additional extention option to March 15, 1999, if
certain conditions are met. Interest on the $90,000,000 is payable at a rate
equal to 7.91% per annum up to September 1, 1998 and at a rate equal to LIBOR
plus 225 basis points up to maturity. The $30,000,000 used for the partial
payment of the letter of credit was obtained from a

cash advance received from Posadas de Puerto Rico, an affiliate company through
common ownership.
El Con is engaged in the process of refinancing the balance due to CRE
through a new bond issue by the Puerto Rico Industrial, Tourist, Educational,
Medical and Environmental Control Facilities Financing Authority. Based on
operating history of the Resort, the Partnership's management believes such
refinancing will be achieved, but there can be no assurance thereof.
El Con pays an annual letter of credit fee of approximately 1.25% of the
Bond principal except under certain circumstances the rate may be reduced to
1.2%. In addition, in connection with the letter of credit El Con pays an annual
agent's fee of approximately .25% of the Initial Stated Amount, as defined.
Under the provisions of a term loan agreement with GDB, El Con borrowed
$25,000,000 for the payment of project costs. The loan is due on February 7,
2006. The loan agreement provides for a variable interest rate equivalent to a
LIBOR rate minus .5% plus an add-on margin as provided in the loan agreement.
Interest is payable quarterly in arrears.
Commencing on April 1, 1993, El Con is required to deposit annually with an
escrow agent 50% of the Available Cash Flow, as defined in the Loan Agreement
with GDB, up to a maximum of $1,666,700 plus any prior year requirement in
arrears. Through June 30, 1998, there had been no amounts deposited in escrow
under this provision.
The Bonds and the term loan with GDB are collateralized by a first and
second mortgage lien on the Resort, a chattel mortgage on personal property, and
an assignment of various contracts and the Management Agreement with Williams
Hospitality. The collateral is subject to a subordination agreement in favor of
The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ltd (formerly the Mitsubishi Bank, Limited).
9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 107 'Disclosures About
Fair Value of Financial Instruments', requires the disclosure of the fair value
of El Con's financial instruments at June 30, 1998. The carrying amount of
investments, notes payable to bank, chattel mortgage notes and capitalized
leases approximates fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments
or recent issuance. The fair value of El Con's long-term debt has not been
determined because similar terms and conditions may no longer be available.
10. INCOME TAXES
The Partnership is not taxable for Puerto Rico income tax purposes pursuant
to an election submitted to the Puerto Rico Treasury Department. Instead, each
Partner reports their distributive share of the Partnership's profit and losses
in their respective income tax returns.
El Con was granted a tax exemption grant under the provisions of the Puerto
Rico Tourism Incentives Act of 1993 (the Tourism Act). The Tourism Act provides
for a ten-year grant which may be extended for an additional ten-year term.
Major benefits of this Act are: a 90% exemption from income taxes on hotel
income, and a 90% exemption from municipal real and personal property taxes
through the entire term of the grant. The Partnership's casino operations are
not covered by the tax exemption grant and are fully taxable.

12. EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN
Effective January 1, 1997, El Con adopted an employees' savings plan for
all hourly employees after one year of service or 1,000 hours. Employees covered
by any collective bargaining agreement are not eligible to participate in the
plan. Members of the plan can contribute an unlimited percentage of their after
tax compensation. El Con's contribution is $300 per employee per year and a
discretionary additional contribution.
Effective January 1, 1997, El Con adopted a salary savings plan for all
salaried employees after one year of service or 1,000 hours. Employees covered

plan. The plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of l974 (ERISA) and Section 1l65(e) of the Puerto Rico Income Tax
Act of l994, as amended.
Under the provisions of the plan, El Con makes a minimum base contribution
of $300 per participant plus a discretionary contribution based on sick leave
accrued in excess of 240 hours and matches the employee's contribution based on
the percentage the gross operating profit, as defined, exceeds El Con's annual
operating budget as follows:

accounted for under the purchase method and the cumulative purchase price paid
by Wyndham and Patriot was the basis used to record net assets on the records of
its subsidiaries.
On September 21 and 22, 1998, Hurricane Georges caused certain damage to
the Resort. While the financial effects of the hurricane are not yet
determinable, management of the Partnership believes that

the nature of the damage and its insurance coverage is such that there will not
be a significant impact on El Con's financial condition.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Partners
WKA EL CON ASSOCIATES
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of WKA El Con Associates (a
joint venture partnership) as of December 31, 1997. This balance sheet is the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on this balance sheet based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet is free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the balance sheet. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall balance sheet presentation. We
believe that our audit of the balance sheet provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the balance sheet referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of WKA El Con Associates as of
December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying balance sheet has been prepared assuming that WKA El Con
Associates will continue as a going-concern. As more fully described in Note 7,
El Conquistador Partnership L.P., a 50% owned partnership, did not renew or
replace prior to June 9, 1998 a letter of credit collateralizing $120,000,000 of
indebtedness and the debt was required to be repaid on August 3, 1998. The debt
was partially repaid with proceeds from a short-term loan due on November 3,
1998 and the proceeds of an advance from Posadas de Puerto Rico Associates,
Incorporated, an affiliate of the Partnership. This condition raises substantial
doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going-concern. The
balance sheet does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future
effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and
classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

The note is collateralized by second mortgages on parcels of land owned by
Williams Hospitality and Posadas de Puerto Rico Associates, Incorporated,
affiliated companies through common ownership, with a cost of approximately
$3,761,000, and a guarantee of $1,000,000 by WHG, the ultimate owner of WHG El
Con Corp.
6. INCOME TAXES
The Partnership is not taxable for Puerto Rico income tax purposes pursuant
to an election submitted to the Puerto Rico Treasury Department. Instead, each
partner reports their distributive share of the Partnership's profits or losses
in their respective income tax returns. Profits or losses the Partnership for
Federal income tax purposes is reported by the partners.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
BUSINESS ACQUISITION
On January 16, 1998, Patriot American Hospitality Operating Company
Acquisition Subsidiary, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wyndham International, Inc.
(Wyndham), merged with and into WHG. As part of the transaction, WHG
stockholders received for each issued and outstanding share of common stock .784
shares of Wyndham and Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. (Patriot), a
self-administered REIT, which trade as 'Paired Shares' on the New York Stock
Exchange.
On March 31 and July 13, 1998, Patriot acquired a 37.23% and 16.23%,
respectively, additional interest in the Partnership for approximately
$16,072,000 and $3,890,000, respectively. Patriot subsequently transferred such
interest to Conquistador Holding, Inc., all of the voting stock and 1% of the
equity interest of which is owned by Wyndham and 99% of the equity interest of
which is owned by Patriot. As a result of the acquisition transactions, Patriot
beneficially owns 53.46% of the Partnership and Wyndham beneficially owns 46.54%
of the Partnership. Also, the long-term note payable and due to the partners of
the Partnership was paid in full. In connection with the repayment of the
long-term debt, the Partnership recorded an extraordinary loss of approximately
$99,000 related to the write-off of the unamortized deferred debt issuance
costs. The purchase transactions were accounted for under the purchase method
and the cumulative purchase price paid by Wyndham and Patriot was the basis used
to record net assets in the records of WHG and its subsidiaries.
EL CON REFINANCING
The debt of El Con is collateralized by a letter of credit which expires on
September 9, 1998. The loan agreement requires the letter of credit to be
renewed or replaced prior to June 9, 1998, or the debt amounting to $120,000,000
will become due on August 3, 1998. On August 3, 1998, the letter of credit was
honored and the $120,000,000 was paid in full. In accordance with the Letter of
Credit and Reimbursement Agreement, El Con was obligated to immediately
reimburse the letter of credit issuer the full amount drawn under the letter of
credit. On August 3, 1998, El Con made a partial payment of $30,000,000 and
entered into an Assignment and Modification Agreement of the Letter of Credit
Agreement with Citicorp Real Estate, Inc. (CRE). CRE reimbursed the letter of
credit issuer with respect to the $90,000,000 balance due under the Letter of
Credit and Reimbursement Agreement. As part of the Assignment and Modification
Agreement, the remaining $90,000,000 advance by CRE matures on November 3, 1998,
with an additional extension option to March 15, 1999, if certain conditions are
met. Interest on the $90,000,000 is payable at a rate equal to 7.91% per annum
up to September 1, 1998 and at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 225 basis points up to
maturity. The $30,000,000 used for the partial payment of the
F-34

NOTES TO THE BALANCE SHEET -- (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1997
letter of credit was obtained from a cash advance received from Posadas de
Puerto Rico Associates, Incorporated, an affiliate company through common
ownership.
El Con is engaged in the process of refinancing the balance due to CRE
through a new bond issue by the Puerto Rico Industrial, Tourist, Educational,
Medical and Environmental Control Facilities Financing Authority. Based on
operating history of the Resort, the Partnership's management believes such
refinancing will be achieved, but there can be no assurance thereof. If such
refinancing is not obtained, it raises substantial doubt about the Partnership's
ability to continue as a going-concern.
HURRICANE GEORGES
On September 21 and 22, 1998, Hurricane Georges caused certain damage to
the Resort. While the financial effects of the hurricane are not yet
determinable, management of the Partnership believes that the nature of the
damage and its insurance coverage is such that there will not be a significant
impact on El Con's and the Partnership's financial condition.
8. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 -- UNAUDITED
The Partnership has developed a plan to modify its information technology
to be ready for the year 2000 and has begun converting critical data processing
systems. The Partnership expects the project to be substantially completed by
1999. The Partnership does not expect this project to have significant effect on
its financial position.

reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet is free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the balance sheet. An audit also includes

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 13, 1998, the Company acquired an additional 16.23% interest in WKA
for approximately $3,890,000.
The debt of El Con was collateralized by a letter of credit which expired
on September 9, 1998. On August 3, 1998, the letter of credit was honored and
drawn on. In accordance with the Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement,
El Con is obligated to immediately reimburse the letter of credit issuer the
full $120,000,000 drawn under the letter of credit. On August 3, 1998, El Con
made a partial payment of $30,000,000 and entered into an Assignment and
Modification Agreement of the Letter of Credit Agreement. As part of the such
agreement, the maturity of the remaining $90,000,000 was extended to November 3,
1998, with an additional extension option to March 15, 1999 available if certain
conditions are met. Interest on the $90,000,000 is payable at a rate equal to
7.91% per annum up to September 1, 1998 and at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 225
basis points thereafter. The $30,000,000 used for the partial payment of the
letter of credit was obtained in a cash advance from Posadas de Puerto Rico
Associates, Incorporated, a company affiliated through common ownership. El Con
is engaged in the process of refinancing the remaining $90,000,000 through a new
bond issue. The Company believes such refinancing will be achieved, but there
can be no assurance thereof. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going-concern.
On September 21 and 22, 1998, Hurricane Georges caused certain damage to
the hotel owned by El Con. While the financial effects of the hurricane are
not yet determinable, the Company believes that the nature of the damage and
insurance coverage is such that there will not be a significant impact on the
Company's financial condition.
6. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000-UNAUDITED
The Company's accounting records are processed by Wyndham who is assessing
the modifications or replacements of its software that may be necessary for its
computer systems to function properly with respect to the dates in the year 2000
and thereafter. Wyndham is presently negotiating with a vendor that is expected
to perform this remediation of Wyndham's systems. The scope and cost of this
work is not yet known at this time. Wyndham believes that the remediation will
be implemented by June 30, 1999.

On February 7, 1991 the Puerto Rico Industrial, Medical, Educational and
Environmental Pollution Control Facilities Financing Authority (the Authority)
sold industrial revenue bonds (Bonds) for $120,000,000 and loaned the proceeds
to El Con to be used for the payment of project costs pursuant to a Loan
Agreement. The Loan Agreement provides that El Con will pay all interest and
principal on the Bonds.
The Authority issued 1991 Series A, Industrial Revenue Bonds for
$90,000,000 and 1991 Series B, Industrial Revenue Bonds for $30,000,000.
Commencing on May 1, 1996, the Bonds were subject to redemption at El Con's
option at par plus accrued interest, if any. The Bonds are due on November 1,
1999 and interest is payable quarterly. The 1991 Series A Bonds and the 1991
Series B Bonds bear interest at a variable rate, computed quarterly, equal to
100% and 94%, respectively, of a LIBOR rate minus 1/8th of 1%. Effective
November 1, 1996, the interest rate on the 1991 Series A Bonds increased to 100%
of the LIBOR rate. On February 7, 1991, El Con entered into an Interest Rate
Swap Agreement that expired on March 8, 1998 by which El Con agreed to pay,
effective May 1, 1991, a fixed rate of 7.55% on the outstanding principal of
$120,000,000 in exchange for the counterparty's obligation to pay the variable
interest rate equal to 86% and 94% respectively, of the LIBOR rate minus 1/8th
of 1%.
The Loan Agreement provides that El Con will deposit with the trustee all
interest which will become due not later than the 124th day preceding the date
of payment. The Bonds are collaterilized by a letter of credit, that terminates
on September 9, 1998, issued by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ltd (formerly The
Mitsubishi Bank, Limited). The Loan Agreement required the letter of credit to
be renewed or replaced prior to June 9, 1998 or the debt amounting to
$120,000,000 would become due on August 3, 1998. On August 3, 1998, the letter
of credit was honored and the $120,000,000 was paid in full. In accordance with
the Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement, El Con was obligated to
immediately reimburse the letter of credit issuer the full amount drawn under
the letter of credit. On August 3, 1998, El Con made a partial payment of
$30,000,000 and entered into an Assignment and Modification Agreement of the
Letter of Credit Agreement with Citicorp Real Estate, Inc. (CRE). CRE reimbursed
the letter of credit issuer with respect to the $90,000,000 balance due under
the Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement. As part of the Assignment and
Modification Agreement, the remaining $90,000,000 advance by CRE matures on
November 3, 1998, with an additional extention option to March 15, 1999, if
certain conditions are met. Interest on the $90,000,000 is payable at a rate
equal to 7.91% per annum up to September 1, 1998 and at a rate equal to LIBOR
plus 225 basis points up to maturity. The $30,000,000 used for the partial
payment of the letter of credit was obtained from a

cash advance received from Posadas de Puerto Rico, an affiliate company through
common ownership.
El Con is engaged in the process of refinancing the balance due to CRE
through a new bond issue by the Puerto Rico Industrial, Tourist, Educational,
Medical and Environmental Control Facilities Financing Authority. Based on
operating history of the Resort, the Partnership's management believes such
refinancing will be achieved, but there can be no assurance thereof.
El Con pays an annual letter of credit fee of approximately 1.25% of the
Bond principal except under certain circumstances the rate may be reduced to
1.2%. In addition, in connection with the letter of credit El Con pays an annual
agent's fee of approximately .25% of the Initial Stated Amount, as defined.
Under the provisions of a term loan agreement with GDB, El Con borrowed
$25,000,000 for the payment of project costs. The loan is due on February 7,
2006. The loan agreement provides for a variable interest rate equivalent to a
LIBOR rate minus .5% plus an add-on margin as provided in the loan agreement.
Interest is payable quarterly in arrears.
Commencing on April 1, 1993, El Con was required to deposit annually with
an escrow agent 50% of the Available Cash Flow, as defined in the Loan Agreement
with GDB, up to a maximum of $1,666,700 plus any prior year requirement in
arrears. Through June 30, 1998 there had been no amounts deposited in escrow
under this provision.
The Bonds and the term loan with GDB are collateralized by a first and
second mortgage lien on the Resort, a chattel mortgage on personal property, and
an assignment of various contracts and the Management Agreement with Williams
Hospitality. The collateral is subject to a subordination agreement in favor of
The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ltd (formerly The Mitsubishi Bank, Limited).
9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 107 'Disclosures About
Fair Value of Financial Instruments' requires the disclosure of the fair value
of El Con's financial instruments at June 30, 1998. The carrying amount of
investments, notes payable to bank, chattel mortgage notes and capitalized
leases approximates fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments
or recent issuance. The fair value of El Con's long-term debt has not been
determined because similar terms and conditions may no longer be available.
10. INCOME TAXES
The Company's operations are included with Wyndham's Federal income tax
return. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 'Accounting for
Income Taxes', (SFAS No. 109) requires that a portion of income tax expense be
allocated to the Company. The 'Separate Return Method' was utilized to calculate
the Federal income tax provision allocated to the Company.
The Partnership is not taxable for Puerto Rico income tax purposes pursuant
to an election submitted to the Puerto Rico Treasury Department. Instead, each
Partner reports their distributive share of the Partnership's profit and losses
in their respective income tax returns.
El Con was granted a tax exemption grant under the provisions of the Puerto
Rico Tourism Incentives Act of 1993 (the Tourism Act). The Tourism Act provides
for a ten-year grant which may be extended for an additional ten-year term.
Major benefits of this Act are: a 90% exemption from income taxes on hotel
income, and a 90% exemption from municipal real and personal property taxes
through the entire term of the grant. El Con's casino operations are not covered
by the tax exemption grant and are fully taxable.

construction of spa facilities at an existing building. Monthly progress
payments are due by the fifteenth of each month, with a final payment upon
substantial completion of the construction.
12. EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN
Effective January 1, 1997, El Con adopted an employees' savings plan for
all hourly employees after one year of service or 1,000 hours. Employees covered
by any collective bargaining agreement are not eligible to participate in the
plan. Members of the plan can contribute an unlimited percentage of their after
tax compensation. El Con's contribution is $300 per employee per year and a
discretionary additional contribution.
Effective January 1, 1997, El Con adopted a salary savings plan for all
salaried employees after one year of service or 1,000 hours. Employees covered
by any collective bargaining agreement are not eligible to participate in the
plan. The plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of l974 (ERISA) and Section 1l65(e) of the Puerto Rico Income Tax
Act of l994, as amended.
Under the provisions of the plan, El Con makes a minimum base contribution
of $300 per participant plus a discretionary contribution based on sick leave
accrued in excess of 240 hours and matches the employee's contribution based on
the percentage the gross operating profit, as defined, exceeds El Con's annual
operating budget as follows:

basis used to record net assets on the records of its subsidiaries.
On September 21 and 22, 1998, Hurricane Georges caused certain damage to
the Resort. While the financial effects of the hurricane are not yet
determinable, management of the Partnership believes that the nature of the
damage and its insurance coverage is such that there will not be a significant
impact on El Con's financial condition.
14. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
El Con has developed a plan to modify its information technology systems to
be ready for the year 2000 and has begun converting critical data processing
systems. El Con expects the project to be substantially completed by 1999. El
Con does not expect this project to have a significant effect on its financial
position.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
WHG EL CON CORP.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of WHG El Con Corp. as of
December 31, 1997. This balance sheet is the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this balance sheet
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet is free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the balance sheet. An audit also 0includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall balance sheet presentation. We
believe that our audit of the balance sheet provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the balance sheet referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of WHG El Con Corp. as of December 31,
1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying balance sheet has been prepared assuming that WHG El Con
Corp. will continue as a going-concern. As more fully described in Note 6, El
Conquistador Partnership L.P., a 23.27% indirectly owned partnership, did not
renew or replace prior to June 9, 1998 a letter of credit collaterizing
$120,000,000 of indebtedness and the debt was required to be repaid on August 3,
1998. The debt was partially repaid with proceeds from a short-term loan due on
November 3, 1998 and the proceeds of an advance from Posadas de Puerto Rico
Associates, Incorporated, an affiliate of the Company. This condition raises
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going-concern.
The balance sheet does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

BUSINESS ACQUISITION
On January 16, 1998, Patriot American Hospitality Operating Company
Acquisition Subsidiary, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wyndham International, Inc.
(Wyndham), merged with and into WHG. As part of the transaction, WHG
stockholders received for each issued and outstanding share of common stock .784
shares of Wyndham and Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. (Patriot), a
self-administered REIT, which trade as 'Paired Shares' on the New York Stock
Exchange. The purchase transactions were accounted for under the purchase method
and the cumulative purchase price paid by Wyndham and Patriot was the basis used
to record net assets in the records of WHG and its subsidiaries.
EL CON REFINANCING
The debt of El Con is collateralized by a letter of credit which expires on
September 9, 1998. The loan agreement requires the letter of credit to be
renewed or replaced prior to June 9, 1998, or the debt amounting to $120,000,000
will become due on August 3, 1998. On August 3, 1998, the letter of credit was
honored and the $120,000,000 was paid in full. In accordance with the Letter of
Credit and Reimbursement Agreement, El Con was obligated to immediately
reimburse the letter of credit issuer the full amount drawn under the letter of
credit. On August 3, 1998, El Con made a partial payment of $30,000,000 and
entered into an Assignment and Modification Agreement of the Letter of Credit
Agreement with Citicorp Real Estate, Inc. (CRE). CRE reimbursed the letter of
credit issuer with respect to the $90,000,000 balance due under the Letter of
Credit and Reimbursement Agreement. As part of the Assignment and Modification
Agreement, the remaining $90,000,000 advance by CRE matures on November 3, 1998,
with an additional extension option to March 15, 1999, if certain conditions are
met. Interest on the $90,000,000 is payable at a rate equal to 7.91% per annum
up to September 1, 1998 and at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 225 basis points up to
maturity. The $30,000,000 used for the partial payment of the letter of credit
was obtained from a cash advance received from Posadas de Puerto Rico
Associates, Incorporated, an affiliate company through common ownership.
El Con is engaged in the process of refinancing the balance due to CRE
through a new bond issue by the Puerto Rico Industrial, Tourist, Educational,
Medical and Environmental Control Facilities Financing Authority. Based on
operating history of El Con Resort, the Company's management believes such
refinancing will be achieved, but there can be no assurance thereof. If such
refinancing is not obtained, it raises substantial doubt about the El Con, WKA
and the Company's ability to continue as a going-concern.
HURRICANE GEORGES
On September 21 and 22, 1998, Hurricane Georges caused certain damage to
the Resort. While the financial effects of the hurricane are not yet
determinable, management of the Company believes that the nature of the damage
and its insurance coverage is such that there will not be a significant impact
on El Con's or the Company's financial condition.
6. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 -- UNAUDITED

APPENDIX A
FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL
[ ,] 1998
Puerto Rico Industrial, Tourist, Educational,
Medical and Environmental Control Facilities
Financing Authority
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Gentlemen:
We have examined Act No. 121 of the Legislature of Puerto Rico, approved
June 27, 1977, as amended (the 'Act'), creating Puerto Rico Industrial, Medical,
Educational and Environmental Pollution Control Facilities Financing Authority
(the 'Authority'), a body corporate and politic constituting a public
corporation and governmental instrumentality of Puerto Rico ('Puerto Rico').
We have also examined certified copies of the proceedings of the Board of
Directors of the Authority in authorizing the execution and delivery of the
Trust Agreement and the Loan Agreement hereinafter referred to, and certified
copies of the proceedings and other proofs submitted relative to the
authorization, issuance, and sale of the following bonds (the 'Bonds'):
$100,000,000
PUERTO RICO INDUSTRIAL, TOURIST, EDUCATIONAL, MEDICAL
AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL
FACILITIES FINANCING AUTHORITY
TOURISM REVENUE BONDS, 1998 SERIES A
(EL CONQUISTADOR RESORT PROJECT)
Said Bonds are issued under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust Agreement (the
'Trust Agreement'), dated the date hereof, by and between the Authority and
Banco Santander Puerto Rico, Trustee (the 'Trustee').
The proceeds of the sale of the Bonds are to be used for the purpose of
repaying the principal of and interest on an interim loan provided by Citicorp
Real Estate, Inc. to El Conquistador Partnership L.P. (the 'Borrower'), funding
certain reserves and paying certain costs and expenses of issuing the Bonds. The
proceeds of said interim financing were used to pay Borrower's obligations under
a certain reimbursement agreement resulting from the redemption of bonds issued
by the Authority for the financing, in part, of the purchase, renovation,
development, construction, equipping and operation of a hotel in Fajardo, Puerto
Rico, known as El Conquistador Resort & Country Club.
The Authority has entered into a Loan Agreement, dated the date hereof (the
'Loan Agreement'), with the Borrower providing for the loan of the proceeds of
the sale of the Bonds to the Borrower and for repayment by the Borrower of the
loan in amounts sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as
the same will become due and payable. The Loan Agreement provides that the loan
repayments will be paid directly to the Trustee and will be deposited to the
credit of a special fund created by the Trust Agreement and designated 'Tourism
Revenue Bonds 1998 Series A (El Conquistador Resort Project) Bonds Fund' (the
'Bond Fund'), which special fund is charged with the payment of the principal of
and interest on the Bonds. In addition, the Loan Agreement, except for certain
rights of the Authority, and the repayments thereunder, has been assigned to the
Trustee.
The Bonds are subject to redemption as provided in the Trust Agreement.
As to any questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon
representations of the Authority and the Borrower contained in the Trust
Agreement and the Loan Agreement, the
A-1
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
certified proceedings and other certifications by officials of the Authority and
the Borrower, without undertaking to verify the same by independent
investigation.
We have also examined one of the Bonds as executed and authenticated.
All capitalized terms used in this opinion letter and not otherwise defined
herein will have the meanings ascribed to them in the Trust Agreement.
From such examination, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Act is valid.
2. The proceedings of the Board of Directors of the Authority required
in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Bonds and
the authorization, execution, and delivery of the Loan Agreement and the
Related Documents to which the Authority is a party and the Trust Agreement
have been validly and legally taken.
3. The Trust Agreement and the Related Documents to which the
Authority is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
the Authority and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the
other parties thereto, constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable
obligations of the Authority in accordance with their terms, except to the
extent such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or
other laws affecting creditors' rights generally, and subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4. The Bonds have been duly authorized by the Authority and constitute
legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Authority, payable solely from
the Bond Fund and entitled to the benefit of the Trust Agreement.
5. All right, title and interest of the Authority in and to the
Related Documents (except certain rights of the Authority including its
rights to payment of expenses indemnity) have been validly assigned to the
Trustee.
6. The Bonds do not constitute an indebtedness of either Puerto Rico
or any of its principal subdivisions, other than the Authority, and neither
Puerto Rico nor any of such political subdivisions, other than the
Authority, will be liable thereon.
7. The Bonds and the transfer of the Bonds, including gain derived
upon the sale of the Bonds, are exempt from Puerto Rico income tax pursuant
to Article 8(b) of the Act.
8. Interest on the Bonds is (i) excluded from the gross income of the
recipient thereof for Puerto Rico income tax purposes pursuant to Section
1022(b)(4)(B) of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994, as amended
(the 'PR-Code'); (ii) exempt from Puerto Rico income tax and alternative
minimum tax pursuant to Section 1022(b)(4)(B) of the PR-Code, Article 8(b)
of the Act and Section 3 of the Puerto Rico Federal Relations Act ('PRFRA')
and; (iii) exempt from Puerto Rico municipal license tax pursuant to
Section 9(25) of the Puerto Rico Municipal License Tax Act of 1974, as
amended, and Section 3 of the PRFRA.
9. The Bonds are exempt from Puerto Rico personal property tax
pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Puerto Rico Municipal Property Tax Act of
1991, as amended, and Section 3 of the PRFRA.
10. The Bonds are exempt from Puerto Rico (i) gift tax with respect to
donors who are residents of Puerto Rico at the time the gift is made and
(ii) estate tax with respect to estates of decedents who are residents of
Puerto Rico at the time of death, excluding, in each case, United States
citizens who acquired their United States citizenship other than by reason
of birth or residence in Puerto Rico.
11. Assuming that the Partnership complies with the source of income
representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Loan Agreement,
then:
a. Interest received or accrued on the Bonds is excludable from
gross income pursuant to Section 933(1) of the Code if the holder of the
Bonds is an individual who is a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico during
the entire taxable year in which the interest is received or accrued.
A-2
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
b. Interest received or accrued on the Bonds is not subject to
United States federal income tax if the holder of the Bonds is a
corporation organized under the laws of Puerto Rico or any foreign
country and such interest is not effectively connected with the conduct
of a trade or business in the United States by such corporation.
12. Interest on the Bonds is not excluded from the gross income of the
recipient thereof for United States federal income tax purposes under
Section 103(a) of the Code.
United States taxpayers, other than individuals who are bona fide
residents of Puerto Rico during the entire taxable year, may be subject to
United States federal income tax on gain realized upon the sale or exchange
of the Bonds. Pursuant to Notice 89-40, 1989-1 CB 681, gain on the sale of
the Bonds (not including original issue discount accruing under the Code as
of the date of such sale or exchange) by an individual who is bona fide
resident of Puerto Rico for purposes of Section 865(g)(1) of the Code will
constitute income from sources within Puerto Rico and will qualify for the
exclusion provided in Section 933(1) of the Code, provided that the Bonds
do not constitute inventory property in such individual's hands.
Ownership of the Bonds may result in having a portion of the interest
expense allocable to interest on the Bonds disallowed for purposes of
computing the regular tax and the alternative minimum tax for Puerto Rico
income tax purposes.
This opinion is limited to the above, and we express no other opinion
regarding Puerto Rico or United States tax consequences arising from ownership
or disposition of the Bonds.
This letter is furnished by us solely for the benefit of the Authority and
the holders from time to time of the Bonds and may not be relied upon by any
other person.
Respectfully submitted,
A-3

The Partnership Agreement of the El Conquistador Partnership L.P. (the

otherwise, has any liability to the Registrant or any other partner for any acts
performed by such general partner, officer, director, partner, employee or
agent, by or on behalf of the Registrant in its capacity as such except for
gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Partnership Agreement of the
Registrant also provides that the liability of each limited partner is limited

liability to contribute money to, or in respect of the liabilities or
obligations of, the Registrant, nor is any limited partner as such personally

Each Partner's authority to indemnify its respective officers and directors

directors, officers, employees or agents and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors and administrators of such person. In addition, the Certificate
of Incorporation of each Partner will provides for the elimination of personal

monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, to the fullest
extent permitted by the DGCL, as amended and supplemented.

ITEM 37. UNDERTAKINGS.
(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:

of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in

(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.

the Partnership as the General Partners may approve.
SECTION 4.12. GENERAL PARTNERS OR AFFILIATES DEALING WITH THE
PARTNERSHIP.
(A) Nothing in this Venture Agreement shall be construed to
prevent any Partner or any affiliate thereof from acting as resort manager for
the Resort and/or construction manager or general contractor for the Project.
The Partners acknowledge that it is presently contemplated that an affiliate of
WKA shall be engaged by the Partnership to render development services to the
Partnership during the Construction Phase and to act as the Resort Manager and
that an affiliate of the KG General Partner shall be engaged to render services
to the Partnership during the Construction Phase. The Partners acknowledge that
no General Partner shall be entitled to payment of any fee for its services as a
General Partner but the Partners acknowledge that various fees will be paid to
Partners for services rendered by them in their capacities other than as
Partners.
(B) In addition to services elsewhere set forth in this Venture
Agreement, the General Partners or any affiliate thereof shall have the right to
contract or otherwise deal with the Partnership for the purchase or sale of
property or services or for other purposes upon such terms as the General
Partners in their sole discretion shall determine and
29
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
the General Partners shall have no duty to disclose such arrangements or such
relationships to the Limited Partners.
SECTION 4.13. OTHER BUSINESS ACTIVITIES. No General Partner shall be
obligated to devote its full time to the Partnership, or to devote its
financial, personnel or other services or resources exclusively for the benefit
or on behalf of the Partnership or to the activities in which the Partnership is
participating, but shall only be obligated to devote such time, attention and
resources to the conduct of the business of the Partnership as it shall deem
reasonably necessary for the conduct of such business and the performance of
such parties obligations hereunder, and the General Partners are expressly
authorized to exercise their powers and discharge their duties hereunder through
their affiliates and employees of such affiliates. Any General Partner and any
shareholder, partner or affiliate of a General Partner, direct or indirect, may
engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of every nature and
description and in any vicinity whatsoever, including the ownership, operation,
management and development of real property or resorts, and, except as otherwise
provided in this Article, neither the Partnership, nor any other Partner, shall
have any rights in or to such independent ventures or to any profits therefrom.
Any of such activities may be undertaken with or without notice to or
participation therein by the other Partners. Each Partner and the Partnership
hereby waive any right or claim that they may have against any Partner (or any
shareholder or partner of a partner) now or hereafter conducting such activity
with respect to the income or profits therefrom. The Partners acknowledge that
affiliates of WKA are engaged and affiliates of the KG General Partner expect to
become engaged in Puerto Rico in the business of owning, operating, managing and
developing hotel and casino resorts and that nothing in the Venture
30
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Agreement or otherwise shall be construed to limit, prevent or otherwise impair
such activities. Except as otherwise provided in this Article, no General
Partner or any of its affiliates shall have any obligation to offer any
opportunity to the Partnership or any Partner or allow the Partnership to invest
in any property or business of any General Partner or of any of their
affiliates. Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall by virtue of this
Venture Agreement have any right, title or interest in or to such permitted
independent activities or ventures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a General
Partner of an affiliate thereof undertakes or has an opportunity to undertake or
participate in any project any portion of which is located within a one mile
radius from the Resort's property line, then it shall offer the other General
Partner individually, not the Partnership, an opportunity to participate
therein. If such other General Partner desires to participate, either directly
or through an affiliate, then the General Partners shall negotiate in good faith
equitable terms upon which they both may participate in such project, and, in
the event of any failure to reach agreement, each of the General Partners shall
have the right to participate in such project on an equal basis.
SECTION 4.14. ADDITIONAL PROJECTS. The General Partners acknowledge
that this Partnership has been formed for the purpose of developing the Project
in accordance with the description of the Project set forth in Exhibit B
attached hereto and thereafter operating the Resort as first class, luxury
destination mega-resort. It is the present intention of the General Partners,
however, to consider the pursuit of further development of the real estate on
which the Project is located and the acquisition and development of related real
estate opportunities in connection with the Resort such as condominiums,
time-sharing units and an additional gift course (herein referred to as
"Additional Projects"). The undertaking of such Additional
31
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Projects may be undertaken by the Partnership, by the General Partners for their
own benefit or a new partnership or other entity formed for such purpose. Except
as otherwise provided in Sections 4.13 and 4.15 of this Venture Agreement, the
General Partner shall have no obligation to the Partnership or the Limited
Partners with respect to such Additional Projects. In the event a new or
different partnership or other entity is formed for any Additional Project, it
is the present intention of the General Partners that such new partnership or
other entity be jointly owned in equal shares by WKA and the KG general partner,
for their own benefit, and that all funds required to be contributed by such
General Partners to such entity and participation in the profits and losses of
such entity shall be on an equal basis. The foregoing is merely an expression of
the General Partners' present intentions and shall not be construed as a binding
agreement of the General Partners to undertake such Additional Projects or to
participate in such Additional Projects. Nothing contained herein shall obligate
any General Partner to engage in any Additional Project unless such General
Partner shall specifically agree to do so in writing. The General Partners shall
be free to form such new entities and to enter into any arrangements on behalf
of the Partnership with such new entities as they in their sole discretion shall
determine.
SECTION 4.15. INITIAL CONDOMINIUM UNITS.
(A) The parties contemplate that at least 100 condominium units
(each unit being capable of rental as three separate hotel rooms thereby
resulting in the potential availability of at least 300 hotel rooms upon
completion of all such units and each unit being referred to as a "Condominium"
and all units being collectively referred to as the "Condominiums") will be
constructed between 1992 and 1995. These Condominiums are
32
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
anticipated to be constructed in sections consisting of at least 25 Condominiums
per section on that portion of the present El Conquistador land situated south
of the "clifftop" building, on the bluff, overlooking the golf course, having
Fajardo Bay to the East and the golf course and spa to the West. Each section is
contemplated to include a swimming pool. It is also contemplated that prior to
the commencement of construction, each Condominium shall be sold to private
investors purchasing such Condominium pursuant to contracts executed prior to
the commencement of construction of each Condominium. The Condominiums will be
offered and sold on substantially the same terms as similar units are then being
offered at Palmas del Mar and the Hyatt Dorado Beach Hotel and the Partnership
will offer to manage such units on the same terms contained in management
agreements covering similar units at Palmas del Mar and the Hyatt Dorado Beach.
In the event the KG General Partner elects, in writing delivered to WKA by not
later than one year after the Commencement Date, not to participate in the
construction and sale of the Condominiums, WKA shall thereafter, in its
discretion, be entitled to do so directly or through its affiliates. In such
event, WKA's construction of the Condominiums shall occur without participation
in the profit, loss, construction or financing of such Condominiums by the
Partnership or the KG General Partner and all profits and losses with regard to
the construction or sale of such Condominiums shall inure to the benefit of WKA.
(B) Unless the KG General Partner has elected not to participate
in the construction and development of the Condominiums, then development and
construction thereof shall be accomplished by a new entity (the "Condo Entity"),
separate and different, from the Partnership which Condo Entity shall have been
formed for that purpose by WKA and the KG General Partner. The Condo Entity
shall be jointly owned in equal shares by WKA and the KG
33
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
General Partner, for their own benefit and not for the benefit of the
Partnership or any other Partners thereof, and all funds required to be
contributed by such General Partners to the Condo Entity and participation in
the profits and losses of the Condo Entity shall be on an equal basis, unless
agreed otherwise by the General Partners. Provided that KG General Partner has
not elected to exercise its right not to participate in the construction and
development of the Condominiums, all decisions regarding the Condominiums shall
require the approval of WKA and the KG General Partner.
(C) If requested to do so by WKA (after the KG General Partner
has elected not to participate in the construction and sale of the Condominiums)
or by the Condo Entity, the land to be used for such purpose shall be conveyed
to (i) WKA or its affiliate if the KG General Partner has elected not to
participate in the construction and sale of the Condominiums or (ii) to the
Condo Entity, by the Partnership together with all other legal rights sufficient
to permit WKA or the Condo Entity, as applicable, to construct the Condominiums
in the manner currently envisioned by the General Partners. Such conveyance
shall occur prior to the commencement of construction of any such Condominium,
or section thereof, and concurrently with or after financing for the
construction thereof has been obtained.
(D) The Partnership shall be paid a purchase price for any land
so conveyed in an amount equal to the Partnership's cost per acre of land
conveyed, as determined below. For purposes of this Paragraph D, the
Partnership's cost per acre of the land initially acquired by the Partnership
from the Land Administration of Puerto Rico shall be the result of multiplying
(a) the sum of (i) $10,000,000 and (ii) interest on the sum specified in (i)
above from the date the Partnership acquires title to the Resort to the date of
such conveyance,
34
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
calculated at a rate equal to the average blended rate of the cost of funds
incurred by the Partnership on the First Mortgage Loan (including all fees
payable under the Mitsubishi Credit Facility) and the Subordinated Mortgage
Loan, times (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of acres so
conveyed and the denominator of which shall be the total number of acres
contained in the Resort at the time of acquisition thereof by the Partnership
from the Land Administration of Puerto Rico. The Partnership's cost per acre of
other land acquired by the Partnership which may be transferred to WKA or the
Condo Entity as provided herein shall be the sum of the Partnership's actual
cost for such land and interest on such amount at the average blended rate of
the Partnership's cost of funds incurred to finance such purchase price. The
amount of the purchase price shall be paid simultaneously with such conveyance
provided that the construction financing lender has agreed to loan such amount
to WKA or the Condo Entity, as applicable (each of WKA and the Condo Entity, as
applicable, agree to use its best efforts to cause such construction financing
lender to do so) or, if such construction financing lender has not agreed to do
so, the purchase price shall be paid simultaneously with the closing of the sale
of such Condominiums to third party investors and the Partnership shall be
entitled to retain a lien against such property to receive the payment thereof.
(E) Because it is anticipated that the Condominiums will be
constructed in sections, the provisions above relating to the transfer of and
payment for the land on which the Condominiums will be built shall be applicable
to each section.
(F) In the event WKA or the Condo Entity, as applicable,
undertakes construction of the Condominiums (or any of them), WKA or the Condo
Entity, as applicable, and not the Partnership, shall indemnify, defend, and
hold harmless the Partnership, the Partners
35
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
and their respective agents, officers, directors, shareholders, successors and
assigns from and against any and all liability, damage, cost and expense
(including legal fees and court costs) associated with the development,
financing, construction and sale of the Condominiums upon the procedures set
forth in Section 12.02(D) hereof.
(G) The Partnership shall offer to place such Condominiums into a
rental pool program operated by the Partnership under the Management Agreement
pursuant to which a percentage of gross revenues derived from the occupancy of
such Condominiums shall be paid to the Partnership in consideration for its
conducting the program. The terms of such rental pool arrangements shall be
substantially similar to the arrangements for similar units at the Hyatt Dorado
Beach Hotel and Palmas del Mar. Neither WKA nor any of its affiliates will offer
or otherwise make available to any owner of a Condominium any rental pool
arrangement or similar arrangement with respect to such Condominiums except
through the Partnership. Each guest occupying a Condominium (and owner, when
occupying such Condominium) shall be entitled to use the facilities of the
Project on the same terms as are generally made available to guests of the
Resort.
SECTION 4.16. ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The Partner
acknowledge that because the fiscal years of the Partnership, the Resort and
each of the General Partners are different, certain additional financial
information and accounting reviews may be necessary in order to provide each
General Partner with sufficient information to meet its own financial reporting
needs and obligations. The Partnership, at its sole cost and expense shall
furnish or cause to be furnished to each General partner such additional
information as each General Partner shall reasonably request. Such additional
information may be furnished or provided by
36
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
the accountants for the Partnership or the accountants for the General Partner
requesting such information at the Partnership's expense, or a combination of
both. The General Partners shall cause the Partnership to furnish such
information so that each of the General Partner's needed are met in the manner
most economical to the Partnership.

LOANS TO THE PARTNERSHIP
SECTION 6.01. DEFICIENCY LOANS. If at any time after all Capital
Contributions of the Partners have been made but prior to the expiration of five

available to pay any portion of the Total Project Costs, operating costs or any
other fees or expenses related to the Project or operation of the Resort, the
Partnership's business or the liquidation or winding up of the Partnership,
including payment of liabilities or reserves for liabilities, the WKA General
Partner shall notify (the "Call Notice") each of the General Partners in writing
of the amount needed (the "Deficiency") pay such costs, fees or expenses. With
thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Call Notice each of the KG General
Partner and the WKA General Partner shall advance to the Partnership one-half of
the amount of the Deficiency. All such advances shall constitute loans
("Deficiency Loans") to the Partnership, shall be non-recourse to the
Partnership and the General Partners of the Partnership and shall be subordinate
to the First Mortgage Loan and the Subordinated Mortgage Loan. Deficiency Loans
shall be repaid on or before the expiration of nine years from the Commencement

any of its Partners, then the General Partners shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to fund such deficiencies by making additional loans ("Additional
Loans") to the Partnership in the amounts necessary to meet such obligations but
only if the reasonable needs of the Partnership's business so require. If both
General Partners desire to make such Additional Loans to the Partnership, each
shall have the right to do so up to 50% of the amount needed or in such other
proportion as they shall agree. If only one General Partner desires to make an
Additional Loan, such General Partners shall have the right to make such
Additional Loan for the full amount needed. Additional Loans shall be repaid on
or before the expiration of ten years from the date each is made (subject to
prepayment as provided in Section 6.05 hereof) and shall bear simple interest at

that the KG General Partner make a KG Loan, the WKA General Partner shall have
no obligation to make any Deficiency Loan to the Partnership unless it
concurrently receives the proceeds of a KG Loan in like amount.

of WKA's Interests in the Partnership, both as a General and a Limited Partner,
pursuant to the terms of a security agreement (the "Security Agreement") in the
form of Exhibit F annexed hereto which shall be executed and delivered

copy of which is annexed as Exhibit F to the Management Agreement, (ii) amounts
paid by the Partnership to WKA in respect of Deficiency Loans and (iii) the
proceeds of any collateral securing such KG Loans, except that WKA shall have

the Partnership in respect of Deficiency Loans. WKA hereby authorizes and
directs the Partnership, for so long as the KG Loans are outstanding, to pay to
the KG General Partner at the address provided herein all sums which WKA is
entitled to receive from the Partnership in repayment of Deficiency Loans.
Notwithstanding the payment of such sums to the KG General Partner,
45
<PAGE>

such sums shall be deemed to be in payment of the obligations of the Partnership
to WKA under the terms hereof with respect to Deficiency Loans owed to WKA.
(F) Upon the foreclosure of the security interest granted the KG
General Partner pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement and the
substitution of the party acquiring the Interest of WKA under the Venture
Agreement in accordance with the Act, as both a Limited Partner and a General
Partner for WKA, the obligations of WKA under this Venture Agreement shall
terminate.
(G) The Partnership and WKA will, at all times, maintain accurate

qualification of such interest under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
under any applicable state, local or foreign securities laws;
(ii) if such sale or transfer would result in or create a
prohibited transaction under, or cause the Partnership to become a "party in
interest" as defined in Section 3(14) of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or otherwise result in the holder of an
Interest in the Partnership or the assets of the Partnership being subject to
the provisions of ERISA;

either of them may request counsel to the partnership to render its opinion to
the Partnership as to whether such sale or transfer would cause a termination of
the Partnership for federal income tax purposes. No offer, sale, transfer,
hypothecation or pledge of any Interest may be made unless the Partnership shall
have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the General Partners that
such proposed sale or transfer is exempt from registration under the federal
securities laws and any applicable state or local securities laws.
SECTION 9.02. NO WITHDRAWAL. Prior to the Commencement Date, no
Partner shall withdraw, retire or resign from the Partnership or sell, assign,
transfer, pledge or hypothecate its Interest. After the Commencement Date,
except as provided in Section 9.06 or 9.07 hereof, no General Partner shall
withdraw, retire or resign from the Partnership without the prior written
consent of the other General Partner.
SECTION 9.03. PERMITTED SALES OF LIMITED PARTNERS' INTERESTS.
(A) After the Commencement Date, any Limited Partner may sell,
56
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
assign or transfer all or any portion of its limited partnership Interest to any
of its affiliates, provided that such affiliate is admitted to the Partnership
as a Class A or B Limited Partner, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided.
(B) Any Limited Partner (the "Selling Partner") desiring to sell
or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its Interest as a Limited Partner to
an unaffiliated third party after the Commencement Date shall first offer (the
"Offer") in writing to sell such Interest or part thereof to the General
Partners in equal shares. If the Selling Partner is also a General Partner, such
Offer shall only be made to the other General Partner. Such Offer shall set
forth the price (the "Offering Price") and the terms at which the Selling
Partner desires to sell such Interest including copies of any third party offer
received by such Selling Partner. The General Partner(s) receiving such Offer
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accept such Offer by written
notice of acceptance within 30 days from their receipt of the Offer. If the
Offer is not accepted in full by such General Partners, the Selling Partner
shall offer the Interest not so accepted to the General Partner who shall have
accepted the Offer and such General Partner shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to accept such additional Offer by written notice of acceptance
within 30 days from its receipt of such additional Offer. If the Selling Partner
is also a General Partner, such additional offer need not be made to such
General Partner. The General Partners shall have the right to accept the Offer
in such other proportion as they shall agree. If the Offers are not accepted by
the General Partners with respect to the entire Interest being offered by such
Selling Partner, then the Selling Partner shall be free for a period of 180 days
thereafter to enter into a binding contract with an unaffiliated third party for
the sale of such Interest for a price not less than 95% of the Offering Price
and otherwise on such material terms
57
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
and conditions as are not more favorable to the purchaser than those contained
in the Offer; provided, however, that if the sale of such Interest is not
consummated within 60 days after the entry into such contract, the Selling
Partner's Interest in the Partnership shall again be subject to the restrictions
of this Section 9.03.
(C) Upon the consummation of sale or transfer permitted under
this Section 9.03, the purchaser or transferee of such Interest shall be
admitted as a Class A or Class B Limited Partner, as the case may be.
SECTION 9.04. PERMITTED SECURITY INTEREST. WKA shall have the right to
grant a security interest in all or any part of its Interests in the
Partnership, both as a General Partner and a Limited Partner, to secure payment
of the KG Loans as provided in Section 6.03 hereof.
SECTION 9.05. WITHDRAWAL OR TRANSFER BY GENERAL PARTNER.
(A) A General Partner shall be entitled to withdraw from the
Partnership only in connection with a transfer of its General Partner Interest
otherwise permitted under this Venture Agreement.
(B) Any General Partner (the "Selling General Partner") desiring
to sell or otherwise dispose of all of its Interest as a General Partner to an
unaffiliated third party at any time after the expiration of nine years after
the Commencement Date, shall first Offer in writing to sell such Interest to the
other General Partner. Such Offer shall set forth the Offering Price and the
terms at which the Selling General Partner desires to sell such Interest
including copies of any third party offer received by such Selling General
Partner. The other General Partner shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to accept such offer, in whole but not in part, by written notice of acceptance
within 30 days from their receipt of the Offer. If the Offer is
58
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
not accepted in full by such General Partner or the Selling General Partner is
the sole remaining General Partner, then the Selling General Partner shall offer
the Interest to the Limited Partners, other than Limited Partners who are also
General Partners, and such Limited Partners shall have the right to accept such
additional Offer in proportion to their respective Residual Partnership
Interests, by written notice of acceptance within 30 days from their receipt of
such additional Offer. If the Offer is not accepted in full by such Limited
Partners, the Selling General Partner shall Offer the Interest not so accepted
to the Limited Partners who shall have accepted the Offer and such Limited
Partners shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accept such additional
Offer in proportion to their respective Residual Partnership Interests, by
written notice of acceptance given within 15 days of their receipt of such
additional offer. The Limited Partners entitled to receive an Offer from the
General Partner shall have the right to accept the Offers in such other
proportion as they shall agree. If the Offers are not accepted by the General
and/or Limited Partners with respect to the entire General Partner Interest of
such Selling General Partner, then the Selling General Partner shall be free for
a period of 180 days thereafter to enter into a binding contract with an
unaffiliated third party for the sale of such Interest for a price not less than
95% of the Offering Price for such Interest and otherwise on such material terms
and conditions as are not more favorable to the purchaser than those contained
in the Offer; provided, however, that if the sale of such Interest is not
consummated within 60 days after entry into such contract, the Selling General
Partner's Interest in the Partnership shall again be subject to the restrictions
of this Section 9.05;
(C) Upon the consummation of any sale or transfer permitted under
this Section 9.05, the purchasers or transferees of such Interest shall be
admitted as a General
59
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Partner except that if the Selling Partner is not the sole remaining General
Partner, the remaining General Partner(s) may require that such purchaser or
transferee be admitted only as a Limited Partner: a Class A Limited Partner if
the Selling General Partner was the KG General Partner and a Class B Limited
Partner if the Selling General Partner was the WKA General Partner.
SECTION 9.06. EFFECT OF BANKRUPTCY, DEATH OR INCOMPETENCE OF A LIMITED
PARTNER. The Bankruptcy, death or dissolution of a Limited Partner or an
adjudication that a Limited Partner is incompetent (which term shall include,
but not be limited to, insanity), shall not cause the termination or dissolution
of the Partnership, and the business of the Partnership shall continue. In the
event of the Bankruptcy, death or dissolution of a Limited Partner, the trustee,
receiver, executor, administrator or trustee of its estate, or if he is
adjudicated incompetent, his committee, guardian or conservator, shall have the
rights of such Limited Partner for the purpose of settling or managing his
estate or property and such power as the Bankrupt, deceased, dissolved or
incompetent Limited Partner possessed to assign all or any part of its Interest
and to join with the assignee in satisfying conditions precedent to the
admission of the assignee as a Limited Partner. The estate of a deceased,
dissolved or incompetent Limited Partner shall not be relieved of any
liabilities and obligations of the deceased, dissolved or incompetent Limited
Partner to the Partnership under this Agreement.
SECTION 9.07. BANKRUPTCY OF A GENERAL PARTNER. In the event of the
Bankruptcy or dissolution of a General Partner, the Partnership shall not be
dissolved unless such General Partner is the sole remaining General Partner.
Upon the Bankruptcy or dissolution of a General Partner, provided the
Partnership is not thereby dissolved, such Genal Partner shall immediately cease
to be a General Partner and its Interest as a General Partner shall become the
Interest of
60
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
a Limited Partner (Class A Limited Partner if such Bankrupt General Partner is
the KG General Partner and a Class B General Partner if such Bankrupt General
Partner is the WKA General Partner). Such event shall not affect any rights,
including rights to fees hereunder, or liabilities of the former General Partner
which matured or were earned prior to the Bankruptcy or dissolution or the value
at the time of such Bankruptcy or dissolution of its Interest. If at the time of
the Bankruptcy or dissolution of a General Partner such General Partner was not
the sole General Partner of the Partnership, the remaining General Partner shall
immediately make such amendments of this Venture Agreement and execute and file
such amendments, certificates or other instruments as are necessary to reflect
the withdrawal.
SECTION 9.08. EFFECT OF TRANSFER. A Partner selling, transferring or
assigning all or any portion of its Interest hereunder shall pay all taxes and
fees incurred by the Partnership or any other Partner as a result of any
transfer of all or any portion of such Partner's Interest in the Partnership.
Any purchaser, transferee or assignee of a Partner's Interest shall be bound by
all of the terms and conditions of this Venture Agreement, including this
Article Nine, with the same force and effect as if such transferee had been a
signatory and an original party to this Venture Agreement in the place and stead
of its transferor. No sale, transfer or assignment shall be effective and no
purchaser, transferee or assignee of any Interest shall be admitted to the
Partnership unless and until such purchaser, transferee or assignee shall have
accepted and agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Venture
Agreement and expressly assumed all obligations of the transferor with respect
to such Interest, except those obligations which are enforceable against the
transferor only by foreclosure of a lien or encumbrance on the Project or the
other property or assets of the Partnership by executing a
61
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
counterpart hereof and other appropriate instruments and shall have delivered
such executed counterparts and instruments to each of the General Partners.

defense of such claim, suit, action or proceeding. In such event, the Other
Party shall not be relieved from its obligations hereunder but such obligation
shall be limited with respect to the amount of such claim, suit, action or
proceeding in the sense that its liability may not be greater than the amount
for which the same could have been settled
67

<PAGE>
as proposed by the Other Party and will not be greater than the amount for which
such suit, action, claim, investigation or proceeding is ultimately resolved. If

consummate such proposed settlement upon the terms set forth in the aforesaid
notice. Failure to give the Other Party timely notice of any claim, suit, action

APPENDIX
The following constitutes an Appendix to the EL CONQUISTADOR PARTNERSHIP L.P.
VENTURE AGREEMENT, dated January 12, 1990 and shall be deemed a part thereof as
if fully set forth therein. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the
same meaning ascribed to such terms in the Venture Agreement except as otherwise
defined herein.
The allocations to the Capital Account of each Partner for Federal
income tax purposes of Net Income, Gain from a Capital Transaction, Net Loss,
Net Loss from a Capital Transaction and Depreciation or, where required, the
allocation of items or elements of any of the foregoing, and the allocation of
gross income, if required, shall be made in accordance with this Appendix. The
Partners wish to have the allocations made in accordance with Article I of this
Appendix but recognize that under certain circumstances such allocations may
diverge from allocations that may be required to be made for tax purposes.
Article II of this Appendix sets forth certain targets which must be met by the
Allocations in Article I. To the extent that there is divergence between the
results of allocations under Article I and Article II, Article I is subject to
Article II. Article II prescribes the order in which the allocations in Article
I are to be adjusted if such adjustments are required to bring the Article I
allocations into conformity with the results mandated by Article II. Article III
sets forth certain provisions required by the Regulations and both Article I and
Article II are subject to Article III.

A-7
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
that generated such Recapture (or other items of deduction that generated such
Recapture) allowable with respect to the Partnership property being sold
theretofore allocated to such Partner (or a predecessor in interest to such
Partner), and the denominator of which is the total Depreciation deductions that
generated such Recapture (or other items of deduction that generated such
Recapture) allowable with respect to the Partnership property being sold
theretofore allocated to all Partners provided, however, that under no
circumstances shall there be allocated to any Partner Recapture in excess of the
Gain from a Capital Transaction allocated to such Partner (and such excess shall
be allocated instead to the other Partners).
II. ALLOCATIONS TO CONFORM TO TARGET CAPITAL ACCOUNTS.
If the Capital Account of a Partner at the end of any fiscal year as
determined by the application of Articles I and III differs from that Partner's
Target Capital Account, the allocations provided for in Article I of this
Appendix shall be modified so that each Partner's Capital Account shall equal
its Target Capital Account. Modification pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall be subject to the requirements that (i) the ceiling rule as set forth in
Code Section 1.704-1(c)(2) as it may be applied by the Internal Revenue Service
will not be violated and (ii) the provisions of Article III of this Appendix may
not be violated. Subject to the foregoing, the modifications required hereunder
shall be made by first reallocating Net Income or Net Loss, as the case may be,
and then reallocating Gain or Net Loss from a Capital Transaction, as the case
may be, and then by reallocating Depreciation.
III. EXCEPTIONS.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Appendix,
the following shall apply:
1. GENERAL LIMITATION: No allocation shall be made to a Partner which
A-8
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
would cause such Partner to have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital
Account which exceeds the sum of such Partner's share of Partnership Minimum
Gain and such Partner's Share of Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner
Nonrecourse Debt. If the limitation contained in the preceding sentence would
apply to cause an item of Net Loss or deduction to be unavailable for allocation
to all Partners then such item of Net Loss or deduction shall be allocated among
the Partners in accordance with the WKA General Partner's best judgment as to
the manner in which the loss or deduction will be borne.
2. PARTNER NONRECOURSE DEDUCTIONS: Any and all items of Net Loss and
deduction and any and all expenditures described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the
Code (or treated as expenditures so described pursuant to Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i) of the Regulations) (collectively, "Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions") that are (in accordance with the principles set forth in Section
1.704-IT(b)(4)(iv)(h)(3) of the Regulations) attributable to Partner Nonrecourse
Debt shall be allocated to the Partner that bears the Economic Risk of Loss for
such Partner Nonrecourse Debt. If more than one Partner bears such Economic Risk
of Loss, such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated between or among
such Partners in accordance with the ratios in which they share such Economic
Risk of Loss.
3. PARTNERSHIP MINIMUM GAIN: If there is a net decrease in Partnership
Minimum Gain for any fiscal year of the Partnership, there shall be allocated to
each Partner for such fiscal year, before any other allocation is made of
Partnership items under Article I or Article II of this Appendix, items of
income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in
proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to the greater of: (1) the
portion of such Partner's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain
during such
A-9
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
fiscal year that is allocable (in accordance with the principles set forth in
Section 1.704-IT(b)(4)(iv)(e)(2) of the Regulations) to the sale or other
disposition of Partnership property subject to one or more Nonrecourse
Liabilities of the Partnership; or (2) the deficit balance in such Partner's
Adjusted Capital Account at the end of such fiscal year. The amount of such
deficit balance which needs to be eliminated shall be reduced by the amount of
such Partner's Share of Partnership Minimum Gain and such Partner's Share of
Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt (computed, in each case,
by reference to the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain and Minimum Gain
Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt after taking into account any changes
thereto during such fiscal year). Items of income and gain to be allocated
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall consist first of
gains recognized from the disposition of items of Partnership property subject
to one or more Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership to the extent of the
decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain attributable to the disposition of such
items of Partnership property (or a proportionate share of each such gain if
such gains exceed the amount of income and gain required to be allocated
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph for such fiscal year),
and then of a pro rata portion of the other items of Partnership income and gain
for that year.
4. MINIMUM GAIN ATTRIBUTABLE TO PARTNER NONRECOURSE DEBT: If there is,
for any fiscal year of the Partnership, a net decrease in the Minimum Gain
Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt, there shall be allocated to each
Partner that has a share of Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse
Debt at the beginning of such fiscal year before any other allocation under
Section 704(b) of the Code is made pursuant to this Appendix (other than an
allocation required pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of this Article III
of this Appendix)
A-10
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
items of income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, for subsequent
years) in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to the greater
of: (1) the portion of such Partner's share of the net decrease in the Minimum
Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt that is allocable (in accordance
with the principles set forth in Section 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(h)(4) of the
Regulations) to the sale or other disposition of Partnership property subject to
such Partner Nonrecourse Debt; or (2) the deficit balance in such Partner's
Adjusted Capital Account at the end of such fiscal year. The amount of such
deficit balance which needs to be eliminated shall be reduced by the amount of
such Partner's Share of Partnership Minimum Gain and such Partner's Share of
Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt (computed, in each case,
by reference to the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain and Minimum Gain
Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt after taking into account any changes
thereto during such fiscal year). The determination of which items of income and
gain to be allocated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph of
this Section shall be made in a manner that is consistent with the principles
contained in Section 1.704-IT(b)(4)(iv)(e)(2) of the Regulations.
5. QUALIFIED INCOME OFFSET: In the event any Partner unexpectedly
receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6) of the Regulations (modified, as
appropriate, by Sections 1.704-IT(b)(4)(iv)(e)(3) and (h)(4) of the
Regulations), there shall be specially allocated to such Partner such items of
Partnership income and gain, at such times and in such amounts as will eliminate
as quickly as possible the deficit balance (if any) in its Capital Account (in
excess of the sum of such Partner's share of Partnership Minimum Gain, such
Partner's share of Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner
A-11
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Nonrecourse Debt) created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions. To
the extent permitted by the Code and the Regulations, any special allocations of
items of income or gain pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall be taken into account
in computing subsequent allocations of Net Income or Net Loss pursuant to this
Appendix, so that the net amount of any items so allocated and the subsequent
Net Income or Net Loss allocated to the Partners pursuant to Article I and
Article II of this Appendix shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net
amounts that would have been allocated to each such Partner pursuant to the
provisions of Article I and Article II of this Appendix if such unexpected
adjustments, allocations or distributions had not occurred.
IV. SPECIAL ALLOCATION RULES AND PARTNERSHIP ELECTIONS:
1. Income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to property
contributed to the Partnership by a Partner (and with respect to other
circumstances for which Treas. Reg. 'SS'1.704-1(b) requires Code Section 704(c)
principles to be applied) shall be allocated among the Partners for tax purposes
so as to take account of the variation between the basis (within the meaning of
Section 704(c) of the Code) of the property to the Partnership and its fair
market value at the time of contribution (or the variation between the basis and
value or applicable Capital Account at the time the principles of Section 704(c)
of the Code are to be applied.
2. In the event a Partner transfers all or part of its interest in the
Partnership, or in the event an interest in the Partnership, or in the event an
interest in a Partner that itself is a partnership is transferred, the
Partnership shall, upon request of the transferee, elect, pursuant to Section
754 of the Code, to adjust the basis of the property owned by the Partnership in
accordance with Section 743 of the Code.
A-12
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
3. The Partnership shall elect the straight line method of
depreciation and the shortest permissible recovery periods (within the meaning
of Section 168 of the Code) with respect to the Resort.
4. Except as otherwise provided in this Partnership Agreement, all
other elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under the
Code shall be made by mutual agreement of all the General Partners.

practical. The parties acknowledge that the Partnership has prepared an
estimated budget (the "Development Budget"), a copy of which is annexed hereto
as Exhibit B, for all "hard costs" and "soft costs" to be incurred in connection
with the Renovation and equipping of the Resort. The parties believe that the
Project (as hereafter defined) can be completed within the parameters of the

make decisions and recommendations, perform their obligations hereunder and
otherwise use their best efforts to complete the

parameters of the Development Budget. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be
the Partnership's obligation, subject to the provisions of Section 9.10 hereof,
to complete the Renovation, approve Pre-Opening Budgets (as hereafter defined)
and deliver to the Manager for management as hereafter provided, a fully
equipped, first class, luxury destination mega-resort having substantially all
the facilities described in Exhibit A annexed hereto, even if the costs and
expenses thereof exceed the Development Budget. From time to time the
Partnership may revise the Development Budget without the approval or consent of
Manager but such revision shall not affect any previously approved Pre-Opening
Budget without the consent of the Manager. The Partnership shall notify Manager
promptly of all changes, modifications and refinements to the Development
Budget. All references herein to the Development Budget shall refer to such
budgets as amended by the Partnership from time to time.

invoices therefor. Such costs shall include, but not be limited to, the

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

(I) entertainment and promotional expenses,
particularly in connection with the Pre-Opening Program;
(J) advertising expenses;
(K) salaries and fees of third parties such as

(N) transportation to and from or otherwise in

this Section 1; and
(O) any other expense incurred by Manager in
connection with performance of its obligations under this Section 1.
1.7. PARTNERSHIP'S PRE-APPROVAL. Manager acknowledges that
the Partnership intends to perform the Renovation and otherwise complete the
Project within strict budgetary guidelines evidenced by the Development Budget.
Accordingly, Manager will assist the Partnership and the Partnership's agents to
set up budgets to the extent reasonably practical for all expenses for which
Manager expects to be reimbursed in connection with
8
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
performance of its obligations under this Section 1, and to be incurred by the
Partnership in connection with the Project, including staffing, allocation of
resources and contingencies. Manager shall only incur such expenses and perform
such services under this Section 1 as shall be provided for in a Pre- Opening
Budget approved by the Partnership. All of Manager's staffing, allocation and
assignment of personnel to the performance of services under this Section 1
shall be subject to the Partnership's prior approval through the Pre-Opening
Budget process, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Except as set
forth herein, Manager shall not incur or be entitled to reimbursement for any
costs or expenses or enter into any contracts, or engage the services of any
professionals, consultants or other third parties without the Partnership's
prior approval thereof through the Pre-Opening Budget approval process.
Manager's obligation to render Technical and Development Services and establish
and carry out the Pre-Opening Program is expressly limited by and conditioned
upon the Partnership's approval of the costs and expenses associated therewith
evidenced by its approval of a Pre-Opening Budget containing such costs and
expenses. The Partnership's obligation to pay or reimburse Manager therefor is
expressly subject to the Partnership's prior approval thereof as aforesaid and
to its obligations as provided in Section 1.1 but the Pre-Opening Budget
approval process and Manager's compliance therewith shall not impair, impede or
otherwise affect the payments to Manager of the Development Fee as provided in
Section 1.9 hereof.
9
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
1.8. PRE-OPENING BUDGETS.
1.8.1. From time to time Manager shall prepare and
deliver to the Partnership cost estimates and budgets ("Pre-Opening Budgets")
detailing costs and expenses which Manager intends to incur in connection with
its rendering of Technical and Development Services and establishment of the
Pre-Opening Program and may provide for unanticipated contingencies. These
Pre-Opening Budgets may be in various forms and formats depending upon the
nature of the expenditure for which approval is sought. For example, a Pre-
Opening Budget may consist of a request to engage a specific professional such
as an architect or designer at a specific price or rate of compensation, may be
a request to hire a specific individual or unidentified individuals at specific
rates of compensation, or may be in the nature of line items of a general nature
such as travel, secretarial services, equipment, landscape, architects, etc.
Manager shall identify the expenditures for which approval is sought and provide
the Partnership with such detail and explanations to support such requests as
may reasonably be requested by the Partnership.
1.8.2. The initial Pre-Opening Budget shall be submitted
to the Partnership promptly following the execution of this agreement but prior
to Manager's performance of any additional Technical and Development Services
other than the continuation of services already in progress. The Partnership
acknowledges that Manager has heretofore performed Technical and Development
Services in connection with the Project and made
10
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
expenditures and commitments in connection therewith. The Partnership hereby
approves such services, expenses and commitments and shall reimburse Manager for
the expenses incurred in connection therewith promptly following the execution
of this agreement and hereby assumes the commitments, all as set forth in
Exhibit D annexed hereto. All subsequent Pre-Opening Budgets shall be submitted
to the Partnership for its approval sufficiently in advance of the date by which
the expenses are expected to be incurred so as to permit the Partnership an
adequate opportunity to fully evaluate and take action with respect to such
Pre-Opening Budget. The Partnership shall respond promptly to Manager's requests
for approval of Pre-Opening Budgets by approving, disapproving or proposing
changes for or modifications to all requests for approval of Pre-Opening Budgets
so that there is no unreasonable delay in Manager's performance of its
obligations hereunder.
1.8.3. Pre-Opening Budgets shall be prepared by the
Manager so as to effect the Renovation and completion of the Project as a first
class, luxury destination mega-resort and to be ready for the Commencement Date
as quickly as practical.
1.9. Compensation for Technical and Development Services.
1.9.1. In consideration for all services rendered by
Manager under this Section 1, the Partnership shall pay to Manager a fee (the
"Development Fee") equal to Three Million Two Hundred Thirty Eight Thousand
($3,238,000) Dollars. In addition to the Development Fee, Manager
11
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
shall receive monthly payments on account of reimbursable expenses as set forth
in Section 1.6 hereof. The Development Fee shall be deemed earned by and shall
be paid to Manager in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments of One Hundred
Thirty Four Thousand Nine Hundred Sixteen Dollars and Sixty Seven Cents
($134,916.67) each on the first day of each calendar month commencing December,
1989 and ending November, 1991; provided, however, that the Partnership shall
not pay and is not required to pay any portion of the Development Fee unless and
until the Partnership acquires the land and buildings on which the Resort shall
be located and upon the closing with respect to such acquisition, the
Partnership shall pay to the Manager that portion of the Development Fee deemed
earned by Manager from December 1, 1989 through the date of such closing.
1.9.2. Subject to Section 1.9.1 and any provisions to
the contrary which may be required by the lender of the First Mortgage Loan, as
defined in the Venture Agreement (as hereafter defined), the Partnership shall
pay the Development Fee to Manager as and when earned. The parties acknowledge
that the Development Fee shall be paid from funds available to the Partnership
including capital contributions to the Partnership and proceeds of loans
received by the Partnership from lenders for the Project and that
notwithstanding any provision in this Section 1.9 to the contrary, payment of
the Development Fee to the Manager as provided herein shall be made only to the
extent and in the manner permitted by such lenders; provided, however,
12
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
that the Partnership shall make every effort to include the Development Fee
within such loans and to permit payment of the Development Fee as provided
herein under the terms of such loans. The Partnership shall promptly advise
Manager of any limitation or objection by its lenders with respect thereto.
1.9.3. Subject to Section 1.9.2, payments to Manager
under this Section 1, both of the Development Fee and for reimbursement of
expenses, shall be made on the basis set forth herein in full without retainage
of other withholding.
1.10. OBLIGATIONS SEPARATE. The obligations of Manager under
this Section 1 are separate and severable from the obligations of Manager during
the Management Term (as hereafter defined). No default or claimed default by
Manager in the performance of its obligations under Section 1 hereof shall in
any way affect or operate to terminate Manager's rights and obligations with
respect to the Management Term, affect Manager's right to commence management of
the Resort on the Commencement Date, nor be asserted against Manager or entitle
the Partnership to deduct from, offset or withhold any amounts required to be
paid to Manager in respect of the Management Term. Provided this agreement has
not bee terminated prior to the Commencement Date as provided in Section 8.1.1,
8.1.4 or 8.1.5 hereof, Manager's right to commence management of the Resort on
the Commencement Date as hereafter provided is absolute and unconditional and
neither the Partnership nor any partner of the Partnership shall assert any
claim
13
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
to the contrary. No deductions shall be made from the Development Fee or other
compensation or from any expenses due Manager on account of penalty, liquidated
damage or other sums withheld from payments to Consultants or Contractors, or on
account of the cost of changes in work comprising the Project.
1.11. If the Partnership observes or otherwise becomes aware
of any fault or defect in the Project, or nonconformance with the applicable
contract documents, the Partnership shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Manager.
1.12. Manager shall be entitled to rely upon the expertise of
all third party Contractors and Consultants in connection with the Project.
Under no circumstances shall the Partnership seek to hold Manager responsible
for any acts or omissions of any Contractor or Consultant or for the quality of
their performance or lack thereof.
2. APPOINTMENT AS MANAGER OF THE RESORT.
2.1. APPOINTMENT AND TERM. The Partnership hereby appoints and
employs Manager to act as its agent for the supervision, direction and control
of the operation and management of the Resort on the Partnership's behalf, upon
the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, for a term of 20 years beginning
on the Commencement Date (the "Management Term"). Manager hereby accepts such

contemplated by the Partnership to be built in four sections of 25 units each
during the years 1992 through 1995, the net rental income from which is
contemplated to be included within the Resort's Gross Revenues (as hereafter
defined), and such other additional facilities as may be added to the Resort at
the election of the Partnership from time to time. Manager shall have no right
by virtue of this agreement to manage such other additional facilities unless
the Partnership shall have elected to include such facilities in the Resort.
2.2. RELATION OF THE PARTIES. In performing its duties during
the Management Term, Manager shall be deemed to act only as the appointed agent
or representative of the Partnership, and nothing in this agreement shall be
construed as creating a tenancy, partnership, joint venture or any other
relationship between the parties hereto except that of principal and agent. All
debts and liabilities incurred by Manager within the scope and in accordance

capital nature as determined under generally accepted accounting principles and
Operation Budgets shall contain all other items. Within 30 days after its
receipt of any Annual Budget, the Partnership shall notify Manager in writing of
its approval of the Operating Budget and Capital Budget comprising the Annual
Budget or items therein or of any objections, changes, revisions or other
comments it may have with respect thereto. The Partnership may approve or object
to all or any portion of an Annual Budget. To the extent that any budget is
approved, in whole or in part, in writing by the Partnership, such budget or
portion thereof so approved shall constitute an approved budget ("Approved
Budget") for purposes of this agreement and Manager shall be entitled to incur
expenses and made commitments consistent with such Approved Budget. To the
extent that the Partnership has failed to approve any Annual Budget or portion
thereof, Manager and the Partnership shall meet with each other to agree upon a
mutually satisfactory Operating Budget or Capital Budget, as the case may be, or
portion thereof in accordance with the principle set forth in Section 3.3.5 and,
once so agreed, the budget
17
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
or portion thereof so agreed to shall become an Approved Budget for purposes of
this agreement. Subject to Section 9.10, the Partnership shall not, however, be
entitled to unilaterally require the reduction of the amount of the total
Operating Budget, excluding Variable Charges, (as hereafter defined), below the
amount of the total Operating Budget, excluding Variable Charges, contained in
the most recent Approved Budget and shall not be entitled to unilaterally
require the reduction of the total amount of the Variable Charges so as to
reduce the Variable Charges as a percent of projected revenues in the proposed
Annual Budget below the amount of the Variable Charges as a percentage of
revenues in the most recent Approved Budget. The Partnership shall have absolute
discretion to approve or disapprove items in a Capital Budget except the
Partnership shall approve portions of the Capital Budgets consistent with the
principle set forth in Section 4.5 hereof. No proposed Capital Budget or
Operating Budget or portion thereof shall constitute an Approved Budget unless
and until it shall be approved by the Partnership as herein provided.
3.3.2. After approval of a Capital Budget, Manager may
not exceed the expenditures therein without the prior written approval of the
Partnership.
3.3.3. The parties acknowledge that the Operating
Budgets shall consist of certain charges which are not expected to fluctuate
based upon occupancy or use of the Resort's facilities ("Stable Charges") and
18
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
certain charges which will fluctuate based upon occupancy or use of the Resort's
facilities ("Variable Charges"). Variable Charges include, but are not limited
to, utilities, water, laundry, personnel and food and beverage. Stable Charges
include, but are not limited to, marketing and advertising expenses, property
taxes and insurance. Within each Operating Budget, Manager shall be entitled to
establish a reserve amount which it deems sufficient to cover any cost overruns
in connection with the Stable Charges. Accordingly, Manager shall not exceed the
total amount of Stable Charges, including such reserve, reflected in an Approved
Budget without the prior written consent of the Partnership. Variable Charges
shall be reflected in Operating Budgets both as a dollar amount and as a
percentage of projected revenues. Manager shall be entitled to incur Variable
Charges in an aggregate amount above or below the aggregate dollar amounts
reflected in an Approved Budget provided, however, that the aggregate amount of
actual Variable Charges as a percentage of projected revenues reflected in the
Approved Budget by more than five (5) percentage points.
3.3.4. If the Partnership fails to approve Annual
Budgets or any portion thereof for any Fiscal Year, Manager may continue to
operate the Resort and made expenditures for such Fiscal Year within the
parameters of (i) the Operating Budget, including Variable Charges as a
percentage of revenues, and (ii) the amount set forth for replacement of
furniture, fixtures and equipment in the Capital Budget, each contained in the
Approved Budgets
19
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
for the most recently completed Fiscal Year until full Approved Budgets shall
have been established except that Manager shall be entitled to incur increased
expenses in the ordinary course of business for matters set forth in the
operating Budget if such increases are due to factors beyond the control of
Manager such as utility rate increases, increased insurance premiums, tax
increases, interest rate increases, supplier price increases and the like.
3.3.5. Manager shall prepare Annual Budgets and the
Partnership shall act to approve budgets for the purpose of establishing
Approved Budgets so as to enable the Resort to operate as a first class, luxury
destination mega-resort.
3.3.6. In some cases Annual Budgets and therefore
Approved Budgets may be broken down by month or quarter. All tests for whether
Manager has complied with the Approved Budgets shall be made on an annual basis
and not a monthly or quarterly basis. Such more detailed breakdown shall be
solely for information purposes.
3.3.7. During the course of any Fiscal Year during the
Management Term it may be appropriate to modify portions of an Approved Budget
based upon actual operations and experience, unforeseen events or otherwise. In
such event, Manager shall be entitled to request changes or modifications to
Approved Budgets using the same procedures for requests for approval of Annual
Budgets as provided above.
20
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
3.4. NO GUARANTEE. Manager makes no guarantee, warranty or
representation whatsoever with respect to any Annual or Approved Budgets,
including whether there will be profits or losses from the operation of the
Resort or the amount of revenues to be derived. Manager shall use due care in
preparing Annual Budgets so that such budgets shall reflect Manager's best
estimate of costs and expenses to be incurred and revenues to be generated. The
amounts, however, shall be only estimates and Manager shall have no liability to
the Partnership with respect to such amounts absent gross negligence, wilful
misconduct or fraud in connection with the preparation of such Annual Budgets or
in connection with the performance of Manager's obligations during the
Management Term.

shall comply with all obligations to lenders to the Partnership so as to
preserve ownership of the Resort and to permit the Partnership to fund its
obligations hereunder. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Manager shall have
complete control and discretion in the management of the Resort and the
Partnership shall not interfere or involve itself with the day-to-day operation
and affairs of the Resort. Manager shall operate the Resort free of molestation,
eviction, disturbance by the Partnership or any third party claiming by, through

determination of room rates, food and beverage menu prices, and charges to
guests for other services performed by the Resort for guests and may alter room
rates or other charges without prior consultation with the Partnership. Manager
shall have control and discretion with regard to the use of the Resort for all
customary purposes, including, the terms of admittance to the Resort for rooms,
for commercial purposes, for privileges of entertainment, employee rules and

to the extent possible, be obtained in the name of the Partnership. Manager
shall notify the Partnership prior to obtaining any license, approval or permit
in the name of anyone other than the Partnership. Manager undertakes to comply
in all material respects with the rules, regulations and orders of the
Government Authorities and with any conditions set out in any such licenses and
permits and at all times to operate and manage the Resort in accordance with
such conditions and any other requirements of law. Upon receipt by Manager of
notice from the Partnership or any Government Authority that either the Manager
or the Resort is not in compliance with the

by Manager. Manager shall keep the Partnership advised as to the personnel and
services which it performs and shall fully advise the Partnership of allocation

<PAGE>
estimated that such program during the early years of the Management Term will
be approximately 1% of revenues per year and thereafter increase up to
approximately 3% of revenues per year. The actual amount shall be fixed each
year under the procedures for Approved Budgets. However, the foregoing is
intended to establish the Partnership's obligation to approve a budget
implementing such program and to set forth the parties' expectation of the scope

shall be subject to the prior approval of the Partnership although Manager shall
have absolute discretion in choosing or selecting the type of facility that

standard form for such arrangements, however, the terms and provisions thereof
as well as in each case the specific economic and additional terms thereof,

unreasonably withheld. For instance, if Manager deems it appropriate that the
Resort have an Italian restaurant run by a third party, the Partnership shall

deficits, Manager shall have no responsibility or liability, and the Partnership
shall indemnify and
33
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
hold harmless Manager with respect to any liability, however arising, which may
arise out of or relate to, directly or indirectly, such failure or delay in

consideration for all services rendered by Manager as manager of the Resort
pursuant to this agreement on and after the Commencement Date, the Partnership
shall pay to Manager, subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 of this

(the "Incentive Management Fee") of ten (10%) percent of Resort Operating
Profits (as hereinafter defined), which Incentive Management Fee shall be
payable annually on the earlier to occur of (a) five days after the
Partnership's receipt of audited financial statements for such Fiscal Year or
(b) 120 days after the end of such Fiscal Year.
5.3. FEE ADJUSTMENT. Basic Management Fees paid or payable to
Manager prior to the end of any Fiscal Year will be subject to verification and
adjustment after receipt of the audited financial statements for the applicable
Fiscal Year. If the Management Term is in effect for less than any full Fiscal
Year then the Basic Management Fee and the Incentive Management Fee with respect
to such partial Fiscal Year shall be based upon actual operations for the
portion of the Fiscal Year included in the Management Term.
5.4. SUBORDINATION OF INCENTIVE MANAGEMENT FEES.
5.4.1. SUBORDINATION.
(A) Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, no Incentive Management Fee with respect to any Fiscal Year shall
35
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
be paid by the Partnership or accepted by Manager until (i) all of the interest
and principal due and payable during such month or Fiscal Year, as the case may
be, with respect to the First Mortgage Loan and the Subordinated Mortgage Loan
(as those terms are defined in the Venture Agreement) (the "Loans") shall have
been paid or provided for by the Partnership, and (ii) all interest and
principal on any Additional Loan or Deficiency Loan and payments of any
Preferred Return and Deferred Preferred Return, as those terms are defined in
the Venture Agreement, due for such Fiscal Year and any prior Fiscal Year shall
have been paid or provided for by the Partnership (all of the foregoing being
herein referred to as "Senior Obligations"). All payments of the Incentive
Management Fee with respect to any Fiscal Year shall be subordinate to the
Senior Obligations in accordance with this Section 5.4 and any payments received
by Manager in violation of the foregoing shall be held in trust by Manager for
the benefit of the holders of the Senior Obligations and shall be paid over or
delivered to the holders of the Senior Obligations in accordance with their
respective payment priorities. In addition, in the event of (a) a default under
the Loans causing acceleration of the Loans or (b) a sale by the Partnership of
all or substantially all of the Resort or (c) the condemnation or insured
casualty loss of all or substantially all of the Resort or (d) the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, no Incentive Management Fee shall
be paid to Manager until all Senior Obligations have been paid in full.
36
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
(B) In the event that notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 5 subordinating the payment of the Incentive
Management Fee to the Senior Obligations in the circumstances set forth herein,
Manager shall receive any payment in respect of the Incentive Management Fee at
a time when such payment is prohibited by this Section 5 because the
subordination provisions of Section 5.4.1 are deemed invalid or unenforceable by
a court of competent jurisdiction, then and in such event such payment shall be
received and held in trust by Manager for the benefit of the holders of the
Senior Obligations and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of the
Senior Obligations in accordance with their respective payment priorities. In
such event, Manager shall become subrogated to the rights of such holders to the
extent it has turned over payments so received.
(C) Any Incentive Management Fee
due Manager but which is not paid by the Partnership by reason of the foregoing
subordination shall be accrued and carried over, with simple interest at the
rate of 10% per annum, until the Partnership shall have paid or provided for
payment of the Senior Obligations to the extent provided in this Section 5.4.1
and shall thereafter be paid to Manager. If requested, Manager shall enter into
an appropriate subordination agreement evidencing the foregoing if requested by
the lenders of the First Mortgage Loan and/or Subordinated Mortgage Loan. Except
for the Loans, the Deficiency Loans, the Additional Loans, the Preferred Return
and Deferred Preferred Return, the Partnership shall not,
37
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
without the prior written consent of Manager, enter into any agreement which
requires the Partnership to subordinate the Basic Management Fee or the
Incentive Management Fee.
5.4.2. PAYMENT OF LOANS. Subject to Section 9.10
hereof, the Partnership shall pay or provide for the payment, when due, of all
principal and interest and other amounts under the Senior Obligations so that
the Partnership shall be entitled to pay the Incentive Management Fees provided
for by this agreement.
5.5. LOSSES. Losses in any Fiscal Year shall be borne
exclusively by the Partnership and shall not reduce the amount of any
compensation which Manager may be entitled to receive pursuant to this agreement
for any prior or subsequent Fiscal Year. No part of such loss shall be charged
against, recaptured out of or otherwise serve to diminish or affect the Resort
Gross Operating Profit for any prior or subsequent Fiscal Year.
5.6. MANAGER LOANS. In the event the General Partners of the
Partnership make Deficiency Loans prior to the expiration of five years from the
Commencement Date and the KG General Partner makes KG Loans, as those terms are
defined in the Venture Agreement, then, so long as such KG Loans remain
outstanding, Manager shall make non-recourse loans ("Manager Loans") to the WKA
General Partner, as that term is defined in the Venture Agreement, out of
payments received by it in respect of the Basic Management Fee to the extent and
in an amount equal to 1% of Resort Gross Revenues as
38
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
provided in the agreement (the "Manager Loan Agreement") to be executed
concurrently herewith among Manager, the WKA General Partner and Kumagai
Caribbean, Inc. in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F. Manager hereby
authorizes and directs the Partnership, for so long as the KG Loans remain
outstanding, to pay that portion of the Basic Management Fee required to be
loaned to the WKA General Partner as Manager Loans directly to the KG General
Partner at the address provided in the Venture Agreement. Notwithstanding the
payment of such sums to the KG General Partner, such sums shall be deemed to
satisfy, to the extent thereof, the obligation of the Partnership to Manager
under the terms hereof with respect to the Basic Management Fee. It is
understood and agreed that the KG General Partner is an express third party
beneficiary of the foregoing agreement.

<PAGE>
(b) injury or death to persons or damage or destruction of property due to any

officers, directors or employees who are not employed substantially full time in
the management or operation of the Resort.
6.3.3. PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION. For purposes of
this Section 6.3, the party entitled to indemnification shall be known as the
"Injured Party" and the party required to indemnify shall be known as the "Other
Party." If the Other Party shall be obligated to the Injured Party pursuant to
this Section 6.3 or if a suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding is
begun, made or instituted as a result of which the Other Party may become
obligated to the Injured Party hereunder, the Injured Party shall give prompt
written notice to the Other Party of the occurrence of such event. The Other
Party shall defend, contest or otherwise protect against any suit, action,
investigation, claim or proceeding at the Other Party's own cost and expense.
The Injured Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate
at its own expense in the defense thereof by the counsel of its own choice. If
the Other Party fails timely to defend, contest or otherwise protect against any
suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding, the Injured Party
44
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
shall have the right to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same
and upon ten days' written notice to the Other Party may make any compromise or
settlement thereof and recover the entire cost thereof from the Other Party
including without limitation, actual attorneys' fees, disbursements and all
amounts paid as a result of such suit, action, investigation, claim or
proceeding or compromise or settlement thereof. In the event the Injured Party
elects at any time not to seek or continue to rely on indemnification from the
Other Party with respect to any claim, suit, action or proceeding, it shall have
the right to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same at its sole
cost and expense and the Other Party shall have no liability to the Injured
Party in respect of such claim, suit, action or proceeding and no right to
defend or participate in the defense of such claim, suit, action or proceeding.
Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, prior to finally settling any
such claim, suit, action or proceeding, the Other Party shall give the Injured
Party notice of its intention to settle same and the terms of such proposed
settlement. If the Injured Party shall object to such proposed settlement within
ten days after its receipt of such notice, then the Injured Party shall
thereafter, at its sole expense, assume the control and defense of such claim,
suit, investigation action or proceeding. In such event, the Other Party shall
not be relieved from its obligations hereunder but such obligation shall be
limited with respect to the amount of such claim, suit, investigation action or
proceeding in the sense that it may not be greater than the amount for which the
same
45
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
could have been settled as proposed by the Other Party and will not be greater
than the amount for which it is ultimately resolved. If the Injured Party does
not object to the terms of the proposed settlement within the aforesaid ten day
period, then the Other Party shall have the right to consummate such proposed
settlement upon the terms set forth in the aforesaid notice. Failure to give the
Other Party timely notice of any claim, suit, action or proceeding shall in no
way relieve such party from its obligation to indemnify the Injured Party except
to the extent of losses actually caused to the Other Party by reason of such
failure.
7. DAMAGE TO RESORT AND CONDEMNATION.
7.1. CASUALTY DAMAGE.
7.1.1. THE PARTNERSHIP TO RESTORE. The Partnership
shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1, repair, restore, rebuild
or replace any damage to, or impairment or destruction of the Resort from fire
or other casualty provided, however, that such obligation shall be limited to
the amount of insurance proceeds actually received by the Partnership in respect
of such casualty plus $3,000,000. If the Partnership fails to undertake such
work within 90 days after the casualty, or shall fail to complete the same
diligently, Manager may, but shall not be obligated to, undertake or complete
such work for the account of the Partnership and shall be entitled to be repaid
by the Partnership therefor, and the proceeds of insurance shall be made
available to Manager for such purpose. If the Partnership fails to undertake
46
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
such work within 90 days after fire or other casualty, or shall fail to complete
the same diligently, Manager, without prejudice to its rights against the
Partnership arising from any breach by the Partnership of its obligations under
this Section 7, may, at its election, terminate this agreement upon five days'
written notice to the Partnership.
7.1.2. LIMITATION ON RESTORATION. If the Resort shall
be wholly destroyed or Substantially Destroyed (as hereafter defined) during the
term of this agreement by fire or other casualty, the Partnership shall have the
right and option, upon notice served upon Manager within 90 days after such fire
or other casualty, to decide not to make any repair, restoration, rebuilding or
replacement and to terminate this agreement upon 30 days' written notice. For
purposes of this Section, "Substantially Destroyed" shall mean damage to the
Resort in excess of $40,000,000.
7.2. CONDEMNATION.
7.2.1. TOTAL CONDEMNATION. If the whole of the Resort
shall be taken or condemned in any eminent domain, condemnation, compulsory
acquisition or like proceeding by any competent authority for any public or
quasi-public use or purpose, or if such of the Resort's facilities shall be so
taken or condemned resulting in the Resort being Substantially Destroyed or if
such a portion of the Resort shall be taken or condemned so as to make it
imprudent or unfeasible, in Manager's reasonable opinion, to use the remaining
portion as a resort of the type and class immediately preceding such
47
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
taking or condemnation, then in any of such cases, at the Partnership's election
given in writing to Manager, the term of this agreement shall cease and
terminate as of the later of the date of such taking or condemnation or
Manager's receipt of notice of the Partnership's election to terminate this
agreement.
7.2.2. PARTIAL CONDEMNATION. If such taking or
condemnation results in the Resort not being deemed Substantially Destroyed and
such taking or condemnation does not make if unfeasible or imprudent, in
Manager's reasonable opinion, to operate the remainder as a resort of the type
and class immediately preceding such taking or condemnation, this agreement
shall not terminate, but the Partnership, to the extent of the condemnation
award plus $3,000,000, shall repair any damage to the Resort, or any part
thereof, or alter or modify the Resort, or any part thereof, or reconstruct any
facility so taken or condemned so as to render the Resort a complete and
satisfactory architectural unit as a resort of the same type and class as it was
immediately preceding the taking or condemnation.
8. TERMINATION.
8.1. RIGHT OF TERMINATION.
8.1.1. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Manager may terminate this agreement if the Partnership shall fail to
keep, observe or perform any covenant, agreement or provision of this agreement
required to be kept, observed or performed by the Partnership, such
48
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
termination to become effective thirty days after Manager shall have given to
the Partnership written notice of such failure, and such failure remains uncured
by the Partnership during such thirty-day period or, if such failure cannot be
cured within such thirty-day period, the Partnership has failed during such
thirty-day period to proceed promptly and diligently to cure such failure.
8.1.2. The Partnership shall have the right to
terminate this agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Manager
in the event that (a) WKA El Con Associates fails to pay at maturity (nine years
after the Commencement Date) the full amount of all outstanding KG Loans, as
that term is defined in the Venture Agreement; (b) WKA El Con Associates fails
to immediately apply amounts received by it from the Partnership in respect of
Deficiency Loans in repayment of outstanding KG Loans; (c) WKA El Con Associates
fails to immediately apply the proceeds of Manager Loans in repayment of
outstanding KG Loans or (d) Manager fails to make any required Manager Loan

during the 180 day period immediately following such default.
8.1.3. The Partnership shall have the right to
terminate this agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Manager
in the event that Manager shall have failed to meet the Performance Standards,
as hereafter defined, for any two consecutive Fiscal Years commencing with the
49
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
sixth full Fiscal Year during the Management Term. Manager shall be deemed to
have failed to meet the Performance Standards in any Fiscal Year if the average
revenues per room and average occupancy levels of the Resort are both less than
80% of the average revenues per room and average occupancy levels of Hyatt
Dorado Beach Hotel and Candelero Hotel at Palmas del Mar, collectively, during
the comparable period.
8.1.4. The Partnership shall have the right to
terminate this agreement effective upon a consummation of a sale by the
Partnership of all or substantially all of the Resort, provided the Partnership
shall have given Manager at least 30 days prior written notice and provided
further that if such sale occurs during the Management Term, the Partnership
shall pay Manager the Liquidation Share (as hereafter defined).
8.1.5. This agreement may be terminated upon 30 days
prior written notice to Manager in connection with a sale or other disposition
of the Resort in connection with proceedings to foreclose the First Mortgage
Loan or any other mortgage constituting a first lien of the Resort.
8.2. PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this agreement for any
cause or reason including those set forth in Section 7 and Section 8.1 hereof,
all amounts owing from the Partnership to Manager pursuant to this agreement for
all periods prior to the date of termination, including the Basic Management
Fee, the Incentive Management Fee and all expenses for which Manager is entitled
to reimbursement, shall become immediately due and
50
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
payable provided, however, that the Incentive Management Fee shall be payable
only in accordance with Section 5.4.1(A) hereof. The Partnership shall promptly
determine and pay such amounts and if this agreement shall have been terminated
as provided in Section 8.1.4, the Partnership shall immediately pay Manager an
amount equal to Manager's Liquidation Share at the date of termination.
Effective upon such termination, the Management Term shall cease and Manager and
the Partnership shall cease to have any continuing obligations to each other
except with respect to such payments, causes of action by reason of any breach
prior to such termination and the indemnification obligations set forth in
Section 6.3 hereof. The payment by the Partnership of amounts due upon
termination shall not operate as a waiver of any claims the Partnership may have
against Manager for any breach by Manager of the terms of this agreement.
8.3. MANAGER'S LIQUIDATION SHARE. For purposes of this Section
8, "Manager's Liquidation Share" shall be an amount equal to 75% of the sum of

Fiscal Year shall be an amount equal to the average of the Basic Management Fees
and the Incentive Management Fees payable (whether actually paid or accrued) to
Manager hereunder for the three full Fiscal Years which shall have passed
immediately prior to the
51
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Determination Date (or the average of all Fiscal Years if at least three full
Fiscal Years have not passed prior to the Determination Date or $3,000,000 if at
least one full Fiscal Year has not passed prior to the Determination Date)
discounted to the Determination Date assuming an 8% simple interest factor and
assuming further that each year's payment would have been made on the first day
of such year.
8.4. NULL AND VOID. If (a) the Partnership shall not acquire
the land and buildings for the Resort before September 30, 1990, or (b) the
Partnership elects to abandon the Project or sell the Resort after such
acquisition but prior to the Commencement Date, then in either of such events
this agreement shall be deemed cancelled and of no force and effect and no party
hereto shall have any obligation to the other hereunder except that the
Partnership shall reimburse Manager for expenses incurred prior thereto which
are otherwise expenses of the Partnership pursuant to the terms hereof and if
the Project is abandoned or the Resort sold prior to the Commencement Date, the
Partnership shall pay to the Manager any portion of the Development Fee earned
through the date of termination.

9.6. CHOICE OF LAW. This agreement shall be governed,
interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
9.7. NON-ASSIGNABILITY. This agreement and the various rights
and obligations arising hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns except that
no assignee or successor of the Partnership shall be entitled to enforce any of
the Partnership's rights under Section 9.10 hereof. This agreement shall not be
assignable by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of all
other parties hereto and any attempt to assign this agreement shall be void and
of no effect, except that (i) Manager shall have the right, without consent of
the Partnership, to assign all or any part of this agreement to a wholly owned
subsidiary of Manager which shall assume the
55
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
obligations of Manager hereunder but such assignment shall not relieve Manager
of any liability hereunder and (ii) the Partnership shall have the right to
assign this agreement after the Commencement date without the consent of Manager
in connection with a sale of the entire Resort provided that the purchaser of
the Resort shall assume and be responsible only for the obligations hereunder
with respect to periods following the date of such sale and the Partnership
shall be responsible under this agreement only for obligations hereunder with
respect to periods prior to the date of such sale. The Partnership shall not be
responsible for obligations hereunder for periods following the date of such
sale.
9.8. CAPTIONS. The headings or captions under sections of
this agreement are for convenience and reference only and do not in any way
modify, interpret or construe the intent of the parties or effect any of the
provisions of this agreement.
9.9. NON-RECOURSE TO PARTNERS. The obligations of the
Partnership hereunder shall be non-recourse to the General Partners of the
Partnership and Manager shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership to
satisfy such obligations.
9.10. LIMITATION OF REMEDIES. The general partners of the
Partnership have agreed to make capital contributions to the Partnership of not
less than $30,000,000 and to make Deficiency Loans to the Partnership of up to
$20,000,000 in principal amount outstanding, all as provided in the Venture
56
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Agreement and each of the general partners of the Partnership hereby covenants
with Manager to make such capital contributions and Deficiency Loans as and to
the extent provided in the Venture Agreement. Neither the Partnership nor the
General Partners of the Partnership shall have any obligations to make, or any
liability to Manager for damages incurred by Manager as a result of any failure
to refusal by the General Partners to make, any additional loans or capital
contributions or otherwise provide financing to the Resort except that
Partnership shall remain responsible to Manager for amounts payable under
Section 5.1, 5.2, 4.12.2 and 6.3 hereof. The parties acknowledge that
notwithstanding such contributions and Deficiency Loans and the proceeds of
Loans, the possibility exists that the Partnership may have insufficient funds
available to complete the Project as contemplated or that such funds, together
with revenues generated from the operations of the Resort may be insufficient to
enable the Partnership to fully perform certain of its obligations during the
Management Term including those obligations set forth in Sections 3.3.1, 3.3.5,
4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.5, 4.10, 4.12.1, 4.12.2, 4.12.4 and 4.13 hereof. If, despite the
fact that the capital contributions and proceeds of Deficiency Loans and the
Loans have all been used in connection with the Project and the operations of
the Resort, the Partnership has insufficient funds available to meet its
obligations under the Loans and/or this agreement, other than the obligation to
pay the Basic Management Fee as provided in Section 5 hereof and to reimburse
Manager for expenses under Section 4.12.2 hereof,
57
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
at the Partnership's request, Manager shall refrain from enforcing its rights
under such sections, other than the right to be paid the Basic Management Fee
under Section 5.1 hereof and to be reimbursed for expenses under Section 4.12.2
hereof, to the extent necessary to afford the Partnership the opportunity to
continue to operate the Resort, to meet its obligations to its lenders, or to
obtain refinancing or additional financing, as the Partnership shall determine.
Manager understands that in such event certain measures may be required to be
taken by the Partnership to cut back on the expenses associated with the
operation of the Resort which may adversely affect the operation of the Resort
as a first class, luxury destination mega-resort and notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this agreement, Manager shall cooperate with the Partnership to
reduce expenses revise budgets including Approved Budgets and otherwise comply
with all reasonable requests of the Partnership designed to continue the Resort
as a going concern. All revised budgets, when approved by the Partnership, shall
thereafter constitute Approved Budgets for purposes of this agreement, including
Section 4.12.2 hereof. In such event, Manager shall nevertheless continue
management of the Resort subject to the terms of this agreement, unless and
until this agreement has been terminated as provided herein; however, Manager's
obligations to operate the Resort as a first class, luxury destination
mega-resort and to otherwise perform certain obligations hereunder shall be
correspondingly suspended to the extent funds are not available for such level
of operation.
58
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The parties acknowledge that Manager's undertaking not to enforce its remedies
under such circumstances is extraordinary and shall not be broadly construed.
Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of
Manager's rights to receive the Basic Management Fee and to be reimbursed for
its expenses as provided in Section 4.12.2 hereof. This Section is only an
agreement by Manager to temporarily refrain from asserting certain of its rights
under this agreement and to claim damages as a result thereof. All such rights
shall be reinstated in full on a going forward basis and Manager shall be
entitled to require full compliance by the Partnership with its obligations
under this agreement when the Partnership's financial circumstances permit. In
the event expenses or operations of the Resort are curtailed under this Section
9.10 so that the Resort cannot be operated at a first class, luxury level, the
Partnership's right to terminate this agreement under Section 8.1.3 hereof shall
have no force and effect during the period that such expenses or operations were
curtailed and once such expenses and operations have returned to normal, shall
be applicable only to Fiscal Years commencing one full Fiscal Year after they
shall have returned to normal. Nothing in this Section 9.10 shall be deemed to
limit or curtail Manager's right to terminate this agreement under the
provisions of Section 8.1.1 in the event the Partnership is unable to perform
its obligations for any reason whatsoever, including those referred to in this
Section 9.10.

<PAGE>
THIRD: Liens and Encumbrances: The Demised Premises are free and clear of
all liens and encumbrances.
FOURTH: Landlord and Tenant have agreed on the lease of the Demised
Premises by Tenant from Landlord, and consequently now carry out their agreement
under the following terms and conditions:
One: Lease of Demised Premises and Improvements Thereon.
A. Landlord, in consideration of the terms, covenants, and agreements
hereinafter set forth, hereby grants, demises, and lets the Demised Premises to
Tenant, and Tenant hereby takes and hires the Demised Premises from Landlord, on
the terms, covenants, provisions, and agreements hereinafter provided, to have
and to hold for and during the term hereof and any renewals thereto together
with any and all improvements presently existing or hereinafter constructed on
the Demised Premises, and together with all and singular the appurtenances,
rights, interest, easements, and privileges in anywise appertaining thereto.
B. The parties hereto have agreed to exclude from the lease, a portion of
the Demised Premises which is described below, together with all improvements
existing or hereinafter
4
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
constructed thereon, which portion Landlord shall retain for their exclusive use
(hereinafter the "Reserved Area"):
"RUSTICA: Predio de terreno de forma irregular situado en la portion
Noreste del islote denominado Palomino, en el Mar Caribe y frente al Puerto de
Fajardo, al Este del mismo, Municipio de Fajardo, con una cabida superficial de
nueve cuerdas con nueve mil novecientos ochenta y un diez milesimas de otra
(9.9981) equivalentes a treinta y nueve mil doscientos noventa y seis metros
cuadrados con veintinueve centesimas de otro (39,296.29), en lindes, por el
Norte, en varias alineaciones con el Mar Caribe y con la finca de la cual se
segrega; por el Sur, en Varias alineaciones, con el Mar Caribe y con la finca de
la cual se segrega; por el Este, on distintas alineaciones con el Mar Caribe y
la finca de donde se segrega, y por el Oeste, en varias alineaciones, con la
finca de la cual se segrega y el Mar Caribe."
Once the Reserved Area is segregated from the Demised Premises, the
description of the Demised Premises, as a remnant, shall be as follows:
"RUSTICA" Predio compuesto de noventa mil punto cero cero diecinueve
(90.0019) cuerdas equivalentes a treinta y cinco (35) hectareas, treinta y siete
(37) areas, cuarenta y dos (42) centiareas, cincuenta (56) miliareas, de forma
irregular, terreno quebrado y llano, destinado a pastos y otros usos, situado en
el islote denominado Palomino, en el Mar Caribe y frente al Puerto de Fajardo,
al este del mismo, en el Municipio de Fajardo; colinda por sus cuatro puntos
cardinales esta finca con el Mar Caribe y con parcela segregada propiedad de
Alberto Bachman Umpierre y Lilliam Bachman Umpierre. Enclava una casa de
hormigon un ranchon para peones y otras estructuras y cercas."
C. Landlord hereby authorizes and empowers Tenant to take at Tenant's cost
such action as might be necessary in order to segregate the Reserved Area from
the Demised Premises in order that such Reserved Area becomes a separate and
independent
5
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
parcel of land for purposes of the Registry of the Property of Puerto Rico. In
relation therewith, Landlord hereby empowers the Tenant to file at Tenant's Cost
and on behalf of Landlord with the governmental agencies and departments having
jurisdiction, any and all requests or petitions proper or necessary to
accomplish such purpose. Upon the issuance of the corresponding segregation
permit, the Landlord agrees to execute a deed of segregation, at no cost to
Landlord, in order to record such subdivision in the Registry of the Property of
Puerto Rico. Once such segregation has been finalized, the Demised Premises
shall be deemed to exclude the "Reserved Area". Within ten (10) business days
from the date such segregation permit is obtained, the parties hereto agree to
execute a deed of segregation of land so that the Reserved Area and the Demised
Premises may be recorded as separate and independent properties and the Reserved
Area be excluded of record from this Lease.
D. Landlord agrees that the Reserved Area is to be used by them, their
immediate family and invitees solely for residential and recreational purposes
and that no commercial activity shall be allowed therein. Landlord shall not
carry out or permit others to carry out any activity in the Reserved Area which
might be detrimental to the use of the Demised Premises by tenant for the
6
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
purposes stated herein, or which shall interfere with Tenant's rights to
peacefully enjoy and occupy the Demised Premises. Landlord shall take such
action as might be necessary in order that no pets, animals or livestock owned
or controlled by Landlord be allowed into the Demised Premises. Any construction
made by Landlord in the Reserved Area shall not exceed two stories in height and
shall be adequately maintained and landscaped by Landlord. Tenant, at its
option, may construct a fence around the Reserved Area.

12
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
diminution, abatement, or rebate of whatsoever kind, nature, and description,
except to cure a default by Landlord or as otherwise specifically provided in
this Lease.

Five: Assignment and Subletting: Tenant shall have the right, at any time
and from time to time, both to assign its interest in this Lease, or to sublet
the whole or any portion or portions of the Demised Premises for the use and
purposes permitted under this Lease, but no such assignment or subletting shall
release Tenant's obligations hereunder, unless Landlord specifically consents to
such release in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably denied provided
the assignee is an entity of equal or better financial solvency than Tenant.
Six: Taxes and Assessments:
A. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay from the Commencement Date and
throughout the duration of this Lease and before any fine, penalty, or costs
shall be added thereto for nonpayment thereof, all real estate taxes assessed
upon the
13
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Demised Premises let to and occupied by Tenant, and all structures erected
therein, which are assessed and become due and payable during the term hereof,
and which pertain to the term of this Lease, when they shall respectively become
due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be chargeable
with nor obligated to pay any real property tax assessed prior to the
Commencement Date, any income, inheritance, devolution, gift, franchise,
corporate, gross receipts, capital levy, or estate tax, which may be at any time
levied or assessed against, or become a lien upon, the Demised Premises or the
rents payable hereunder, but Landlord at its own costs and expense, covenants
and warrants to discharge same so as to keep the Demised Premises free of all
such liens, it being the intent hereof that Tenant shall be required to pay only
such taxes, governmental impositions and assessments as are properly known as
real estate taxes or real estate assessments and are assessed against the real
estate (inclusive of the buildings and improvements thereof) as such.
Written evidence of the payment of said taxes, governmental impositions,
special assessments, levy, or general assessments (all of which may sometimes
collectively be referred to in this Lease as "impositions" or "Impositions")
shall be furnished by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after
14
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
payment thereof. However, it is expressly understood and agreed that if any
assessments, special and/or general, are assessed or levied against the Demised
Premises during such time as this Lease is in force and effect and payment
thereof is permitted or provided to be made in installments over a period of
years, Tenant shall be obligated to pay only those installments which become due
and are required to be paid during such time as this lease is in force and
effect. If any such installment covers a time period prior to the expiration of
this Lease, such installment shall be apportioned among the parties as of the
expiration date of this Lease. Likewise, if a regular real estate tax assessment
is made for a particular fiscal year during the term of this Lease, but which
does not become payable until after the expiration of this Lease, the amount of
such tax shall be apportioned among the parties as of the date of expiration of
this Lease. If, however, Tenant, in good faith, shall desire to contest the
validity or amount of any tax, governmental imposition, levy, or special or
general assessment herein agreed to be paid by it, Tenant shall notify Landlord
in writing of its intention to contest the same, and Tenant shall not be
required to pay, discharge, or remove such tax, governmental imposition, levy,
or special or general assessment so long as it shall, in good faith, at its own
expense, contest the same or the
15
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
validity thereof by appropriate proceedings, in the name of Landlord, if
necessary; and pending any such proceedings, Landlord shall not pay, remove, or
discharge any such tax, governmental imposition, levy, or special or general
assessment thereby contested, and such delay of Tenant in paying the same until
final determination of such disputed matter shall not be deemed a default under
the terms and conditions of this Lease, but if such delay exposes said property
to sale for such nonpayment, Tenant shall pay, under protest, reserving Tenant's
rights hereunder, any such tax, governmental imposition, levy, or special or
general assessment, and if Tenant fails to pay, Landlord shall have the right to
do so after ten day notice to Tenant, and upon such payment by Landlord, under
protest, Tenant shall, immediately after proof of such payment shall have been
submitted to it by Landlord, and on demand therefor, pay Landlord the amount of
any such payment so made by Landlord. Tenant shall have the right, if permitted
by law, to pay under protest any Impositions and reserve its right under this
Lease. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant at no cost to Landlord in any tax
contest or proceeding.
B. Landlord further covenants and agrees that if there shall be any
refunds or rebates on account of any tax,
16
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
governmental imposition, levy, or special or general assessments paid by Tenant
under the provisions of this Lease, such refund or rebate shall belong to
Tenant, unless such refund or rebate relates to a payment previously made by
Landlord. Any such refunds or rebates which shall be received by Landlord shall
be trust funds and shall be forthwith paid to Tenant.
C. Except as otherwise specified in this Lease, the real estate taxes,
governmental impositions, special assessments, and general assessments for the
respective tax fiscal years in which this Lease shall commence and terminate,
and whether or not the same have become liens upon the Demised Premises, shall
be apportioned at the Commencement Date and at the date of final termination
respectively, so that Tenant shall pay only those portions thereof which
correspond with the portions of said respective fiscal years as are within the
term hereby leased.
D. If a separate tax assessment is not then in effect for the Reserved
Area, including any structure erected therein, then the parties hereto shall
endeavor to establish in good faith a relative value among the Reserved Area and
the Demised Premises in order to distribute equitably among Landlord and Tenant
the resulting real property tax. If no such agreement is achieved, the parties
agree that the Reserved Area represents ten percent (10%)
17
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
of the total land tax currently assessed upon the Demised Premises. Landlord
further agrees that Tenant may deduct the portion of the real estate tax
corresponding to the area reserved to Landlord, from the Annual Basic Rent and
pay the same over to the corresponding taxing authority.
Seven: Tax Exemption. Tenant agrees that it shall request from the
corresponding governmental authorities that the benefits granted under the
provisions of the Tourism Incentives Act [Act Fifty Two (52) of June second
(2nd), nineteen eighty three (1983)] as amended, or if such Act is no longer in
effect, then under any substitute statute providing for similar benefits; be
extended to Tenant's operations at the Demised Premises. Tenant further agrees
that, it shall also request that landlord's tax exemption benefits under the
terms of Act Fifty Two (52) or any substitute statute then in effect, be
extended to Landlord as owner of real property used in tourism development
activities.
If during the Twenty First Lease Year (i) Tenant is not enjoying the
benefits granted under the Tourism Incentives Act [Act fifty two (52) of June
second (2nd) nineteen eighty three (1983)], as amended, or if such Act is no
longer in effect, then under any substitute statute providing for similar
benefits, or if during the Twentieth Lease Year Tenant has been unable to renew
18
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
or extend the benefits of Act fifty two (52) of June second (2nd) nineteen
eighty three (1983) and as a result Landlord is unable to enjoy the benefits of
such Act of any other substitute Act providing for similar benefits, or (ii) if
for reasons not attributable to Landlord the government refuses to grant to
Landlord tax exemption under said Act or any substitute thereof, after the
Twentieth Lease Year; then commencing on the Twenty First Lease Year, and
thereafter, for the remainder of the Initial Term and any extension thereto, as
long as Landlord is not enjoying tax exemption hereunder, the amount of Annual
Basic Rent indicated on paragraph THREE shall be increased by the sum of FIFTEEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($15,000.00). Provided further that in the event Tenant is
required to increase the Annual Basic Rent for the said amount of Fifteen
Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00), then Tenant may during the Twenty First Lease
Year, at its option, terminate this Lease.
Eight: Liability Insurance:
A. Tenants covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense, and
throughout the duration of this Lease, to obtain, keep, and maintain in full
force and effect comprehensive liability insurance against claims for damage to
persons or property arising out of the use and occupancy of the Demised
Premises, or any part
19
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
thereof, by Tenant, including damages resulting from construction or demolition
work carried out by Tenant, in amounts which are usual and customary in the
hotel industry, but in no event less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in
respect to bodily injury or death to any one person in any one accident, and in
limits of not less than Three Million ($3,000,000) Dollars in respect to bodily
injury or death to more than one person in any one accident, and in limits of
not less than FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($500,000.00) with respect to
damages to property of third parties. Tenant shall revise such insurance
coverage from time to time at its prudent discretion to reflect cost of living
increases and customary practices in the hotel industry. A duplicate original,
certificate, or binder of such insurance shall be furnished to Landlord, at the
commencement of the term of this Lease and each renewal certificate of such
policy shall be furnished to Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior to the
expiration of the policy it renews. Landlord shall be an "Additional Named
Insured" in any such policy.
B. All insurance provided for herein may be in the form of a general
coverage, floater policy or so-called blanket policies and may be furnished by
Tenant, or any affiliates of Tenant or any related entity, Tenant's written
designee(s) or
20
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
sublessee(s) designated in writing by Tenant or by any holder of any mortgage
referred to in Paragraph Seventeen hereof. The liability coverage set forth in
this Paragraph shall be issued by insurers of recognized responsibility. All
insurance provided for herein shall contain a thirty (30) day previous notice of
cancellation provision in favor of Landlord.
C. In the event Tenant fails to cause the aforesaid insurance policies to
be written and pay the premiums for the same and deliver all such certificates
of insurance or duplicate originals thereof to Landlord, Landlord shall
nevertheless have the right, without being obligated to do so, to effect such
insurance and pay the premiums therefor, after 10 days notice to Tenant, and all
such premiums paid by Landlord shall be repaid to Landlord on demand.
Nine: Casualty Insurance:
A. Tenant covenants that it will, during the term of this Lease, keep or
cause to be kept the building(s) and improvements on the Demised Premises
insured with a responsible and reputable insurance company or companies against
loss or damage by fire, earthquake and windstorm, and such other hazards as are
currently embraced in the standard extended coverage endorsement in the
jurisdiction where the Demised Premises are located, and in an
21
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
amount equal to Eighty percent (80%) of the full insurable value of said
buildings and improvements, or the full replacement value thereof, whichever
Tenant shall elect, but in any event in an amount sufficient to prevent Tenant
from becoming co-insurer. The insurance policies shall contain the standard
mortgagee endorsement, including Landlord as additional loss payee, but
subordinate to the prior rights of the mortgagees referenced in paragraph
SEVENTEEN hereof.
B. All insurance policies carried or caused to be carried by Tenant shall
be issued in the name of Tenant and any subtenant(s) of the Demised Premises it
designates), the Landlord, and the mortgagee(s) referred to in Paragraph
Seventeen, as their respective interests may appear. Tenant shall have the right
to make all adjustments of loss, and execute all proofs of loss in its name.
Subject to any loss payable endorsements in favor of any of the mortgagee(s)
referred to in Paragraph Seventeen hereof, if so required by said mortgagee(s),
and subject to the rights (if any) of such mortgagee(s) to apply the proceeds of
any insurance loss(es) towards the repayment of the indebtedness and interest
secured by such mortgage(s) and the rights of such mortgagee(s) to receive the
proceeds in the first instance in order to have the
22
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
same applied for restoring, rebuilding, and repairing, the proceeds of such
insurance in case of loss(es) shall be payable to Tenant.
Ten: Waiver of Subrogation:
All insurance policies carried by either party covering the Demised
Premises, including but not limited to contents, fire, casualty, and other
insurance, shall expressly waive any right of the insurer against the other
party and the mortgagees described in Paragraph Seventeen hereof. The parties
hereto agree that the insurance policies referenced herein will include such
waiver clause or endorsement so long as the same shall be obtainable without
extra cost, or if extra cost shall be charged therefor, so long as the other
party pays such extra cost. If extra cost shall be chargeable therefor, each
party shall advise the other thereof and of the amount of the extra cost and the
other party, at its election, may pay the same, but shall not be obligated to do
so.
Eleven: Damage and Destruction Clause:
Should the whole or any part or parts of the improvements erected by
Tenant or its sublessee or assignee then on the Demised Premises be partially or
wholly damaged or destroyed by fire or other insured casualty after the
commencement of this Lease, such destruction or damage shall not operate to
terminate this Lease, but this Lease shall continue in full force and effect,
except as
23
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
otherwise provided in this Lease. Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall
have the option to restore, rebuild or repair said building(s) and improvements
provided, however, that should such damage or destruction be extensive and
occurs within fifteen (15) years before the end of this Lease, subject to the
written approval of the holder(s) of the mortgages described in Paragraph
Seventeen hereof, Tenant shall thereupon have the option of canceling and
terminating this Lease on giving Landlord sixty (60) days' written notice of
Tenant's intention to do so. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease in
accordance with the foregoing option, the insurance proceeds payable as a result
of such damage or destruction of said buildings or improvement shall be paid to
Tenant, subject to the rights and interests of the holder(s) of the mortgage(s)
described in Paragraph Seventeen hereof.
Twelve: Indemnity:
A. Subject to the provisions of this Lease, Tenant covenants and agrees
that from and after the commencement of the Initial Term of this Lease and
during any renewal or extension thereof, Landlord shall not be liable or
responsible for damages for any personal injury or injuries, death(s), damages,
or losses to any person(s) or property that may be suffered or sustained by
Tenant or subtenant(s) or any of their respective agents, servants,
24
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
employees, patrons, customers, invitees, visitors, licensees, and
concessionaires or by any other person or persons in, the Demised Premises, the
Reserved Area, or any part thereof, arising from Tenant's failure to keep or
cause to be kept the Demised Premises in good condition and repair, or arising
or resulting from the use or occupancy of the Demised Premises by Tenant or
subtenant(s) or any of their respective agents, servants, employees, patrons,
customers, invitees, visitors, licensees, and concessionaires.
B. Tenant covenants and agrees to indemnify and save Landlord harmless
from and against any and all liability, costs and expenses for damages, losses,

from the Demised Premises and transfer them to the Reserved Area, and shall turn
over to Tenant all the structures and facilities existing on the Demised
Premises and being currently occupied by Landlord, in order that Tenant may take

Demised Premises. Tenant is authorized to demolish any and all existing
structures on the Demised Premises.

Demised Premises to Tenant, Landlord shall indemnify and make Tenant harmless
against any loss, damage or expense arising from any action related to or as a
consequence of Landlord's occupancy of the Demised Premises.

34
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
notice, such visit is made during working hours, does not interrupt construction

Landlord shall abide by all safety precautions and regulations imposed by Tenant
or its contractors. In no event shall Landlord enter into the Demised Premises
without the safety equipment required from all Tenant's contractors,
subcontractors, agents, and employees, and without being accompanied by an
authorized representative of Tenant.
e) During the initial seventeen months of this Agreement, Tenant shall
have access to the Demised Premises with the exception of the dwelling units
then being occupied by Landlord. Such access shall be for the purpose of
conducting soil tests, measurements, preparation of plans, studies and
inspections. In addition to the aforesaid, Tenant shall have the right to
commence construction work in the Demised Premises but only in areas
sufficiently separated from the dwelling units being occupied by Landlord in
order to reasonably avoid any discomfort or hazard to Landlord and Landlord's
invitees. In carrying out such work Tenant shall take all proper safety
precautions to avoid unsafe or hazardous conditions for Landlord and it's
invitees. Tenant shall in addition endeavor to carry out such work during
regular business days only. More specifically, Tenant may commence
35
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
work on planned walkways and trails, landscaping, power generation plan and
windmills, water supply, sewers and treatment plant and electric distribution
facilities. Should Tenant need to commence work in other areas, or perform any
work during any weekend or holidays, it will coordinate with Landlord prior to
the commencement of such work. After the initial seventeen months (or sooner if
Landlord vacates the Demised Premises prior to the end of the initial seventeen
months), Tenant may carry out any other construction and demolition work
authorized hereunder.
Fifteen: Access by Landlord: During the term of this Lease, provided
construction work is not then in progress, Landlord shall have during business
hours access to those areas of the Demised Premises which are then open to
Tenant's guests and visitors in general. Such access shall be restricted in the
same terms and conditions and subject to the same rules of conduct as any other
guest or invitee of Tenant.
Sixteen: Compliance with Laws:
A. Tenant covenants and agrees that during the term of this Lease and any
renewals or extensions thereof, it shall endeavor to promptly comply with all
applicable laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, and requirements of the
Federal,
36
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Commonwealth, and Municipal Governments having jurisdiction over the Demised
Premises.
B. Tenant shall have the right, after prior written notice to Landlord, to
contest by appropriate legal proceedings which shall be conducted diligently and
in good faith in the name of Landlord or Tenant or both the applicability of any
law, ordinance, order, rule, or regulation of the nature hereinabove referred to
in Paragraph Sixteen A(16A), and Tenant shall have the right to delay observance
thereof and compliance therewith until such contest is finally determined and is
no longer subject to appeal, provided that observance and compliance therewith
pending the prosecution of such proceeding may be legally delayed without
subjecting Landlord to any liability or fine.
Seventeen: Leasehold Financing: Tenant and Tenant's assigns (but not
Tenant's sublessees of less than the totality of the Demised Premises) shall
have the absolute right, at any time and from time to time, to mortgage the
leasehold interest (derecho de arrendamiento) herein demised on such terms,
conditions, and maturities, not to exceed the term of the Lease (together with
all extensions thereto), as Tenant or Tenant's assigns shall determine, and to
enter into any and all extensions, modifications, amendments, replacement(s),
and refinancing(s) of any such
37
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
leasehold mortgage as Tenant may desire provided that no leasehold mortgage
shall extend beyond the term of this Lease together with any extension thereto.
It is the intention of the parties that any leasehold mortgage to be constituted
by tenant or its assigns be constituted upon the leasehold estate as a whole and
not upon subleases or concessions of a portion of the Demised Premises.
Accordingly, if Tenant enters into any sublease of a portion of the Demised
Premises or grants a concession for the use of a particular structure or
improvement erected therein, such sublease or concessionaire may not mortgage
his subcontract or concession agreement separate or independently from the
leasehold estate granted herein.
While Tenant is authorized to mortgage the leasehold interest created
herein, Tenant may not mortgage separately from such leasehold mortgage, the
individual structures to be constructed by Tenant in the Demised Premises.
If Tenant, or Tenant's successors or assigns, shall mortgage the leasehold
interest constituted herein, then, as long as any such leasehold mortgage shall
remain unsatisfied of record, the following provisions shall apply,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease.
38
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
(i) There shall be no voluntary cancellation, surrender, acceptance of
surrender, or modification of this Lease or attornment of any subtenant to
Landlord without the leasehold mortgage holder's prior written consent.
(ii) If the holder of any mortgage on the leasehold estate constituted
herein shall register with Landlord his or its name and address in writing,
Landlord, on serving on Tenant any notice of default or any other notice
pursuant to the provisions of, or with respect to, this Lease, shall at the same
time serve a duplicate counterpart of such notice on the holder of the then
existing mortgage on this leasehold interest by Registered Mail, return receipt
requested, addressed to said holder at the address registered with Landlord, and
no notice by Landlord to Tenant hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly
given to Tenant unless and until such duplicate counterpart thereof has been so
served on the holder of the leasehold mortgage.
(iii) Such holder of the leasehold mortgage, in the event Tenant shall be
in default hereunder shall have the right, within the period and otherwise as
herein provided, to remedy or cause to be remedied such default, and Landlord
shall accept such performance by or at the instigation of such leasehold
mortgage holder as if the same had been performed by Tenant. No default by
Tenant in
39
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
performing work required to be performed, acts to be done, or conditions to be
remedied, shall be deemed to exist, if steps, in good faith, shall have been
promptly commenced by Tenant or by said leasehold mortgage holder or by any
other party, person, or entity to rectify the same and prosecuted to completion
with diligence and continuity, subject to force majeure (Such diligent exercise
of rights being referred to as the "Diligence Requirements").
(iv) Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, during
such time as the leasehold mortgage remains unsatisfied of record, if an event
or events shall occur which shall entitle Landlord to terminate this Lease, and
if before the expiration of sixty (60) days after the date of service of notice
of termination under this Lease such holder of the leasehold mortgage shall have
paid to Landlord all rent and additional rent and other payments herein provided
for then in default, and shall have complied with or shall be engaged in the
work of complying with all the Diligence Requirements in respect to the other
requirements of this Lease, if any, then in default, then landlord shall not be
entitled to terminate this Lease and any notice of termination theretofore given
shall be void and of no effect, provided, however, that nothing herein contained
shall in any way
40
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
affect, diminish, or impair Landlord's right to terminate this Lease if such
default is not cured within said sixty (60) day period or in the process of
being cured pursuant to the Diligence Requirements.
(v) In the event Landlord wishes to terminate this Lease before the
natural expiration of the term hereof whether by summary dispossession
proceedings, service of notice to terminate, or otherwise, due to Tenant's
default, as a condition precedent to such termination, Landlord shall by
Registered Mail, Return Receipt Requested, serve on the holder(s) of the then
existing leasehold mortgage(s) written notice of such termination, together with
a statement of any and all sums which would at that time be due under this Lease
but for such termination, and of all other defaults, if any, under this Lease
then known to Landlord.
Such holder(s) of the leasehold mortgage(s) shall, after having paid to
Landlord all rent and additional rent and other payments herein provided for
then in default, and having complied, or be engaged in complying will all
Diligence Requirements, or upon foreclosure of the leasehold mortgage(s), have
the option to obtain a direct lease with Landlord in accordance with and on the
following terms and conditions:
(a) On the written request of the holder(s) of the said leasehold
mortgage(s), within sixty (60) days after service of the
41
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
aforementioned notice of termination, or upon foreclosure of the leasehold
mortgage(s), Landlord shall enter into a new or direct Lease of the Demised
Premises with the holder of such leasehold mortgage, nor its designee, as
provided in the following Clause (b).
(b) Such new or direct Lease shall be entered into at the reasonable cost
of the holder of the leasehold mortgage, shall be effective as of the date of
termination of this Lease, and shall be for the remainder of the term of this
Lease, and at the rent and additional rent and on all the agreements, terms,
covenants, and conditions hereof, including without limitation hereof the
options to extend the term.
(vi) No holder(s) of any leasehold mortgage(s) shall be liable under this
Lease unless and until such leasehold mortgage holder shall become the owner of
the leasehold estate, and then only for as long as it remains such owner subject
to the provisions of this Lease. On any assignment of this Lease by any owner of
the leasehold estate whose interest shall have been acquired by, through, or
under any foreclosure of a leasehold mortgage or any transfer in lieu of
foreclosure, or shall have been derived immediately from any such mortgagee or
assignee of such mortgagee, the assignor shall be relieved of any further
liability
42
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
which may accrue hereunder from and after the date of such assignment, it being
the intention of the parties that once the leasehold mortgage holder shall
succeed to Tenant's interest hereunder, any and all subsequent assignments,
whether by such holder, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale or other transferee,
or any assignee of either shall effect a release of the assignor's liability.
Landlord agrees to execute and deliver, on demand, but at the cost of the
assignor requesting the same, in recordable form, any instruments which may
reasonably be requested by such assignor to accomplish the aforesaid release,
but such release shall not extend to the original Tenant hereunder.
Eighteen: Condemnation:
A. If the entire Demised Premises or if the entire Hotel Premises be taken
by the exercise of the right of eminent domain for any public or quasi-public
improvement or use, this Lease and the term hereby granted shall, as a
consequence of such taking expire on the date when title to the Hotel Properties
or to the Demised Premises so taken shall vest in the appropriate authority or
on the date when any possession is required to be surrendered, whichever is
later.
43
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
B. If so substantial a portion of the Demised Premises or of the Hotel
Properties or any building or improvements thereon shall be so taken as to make
same unusable in Tenant's opinion for the purposes to which the Demised Premises
or the Hotel Properties, as the case may be, shall then be devoted (or permitted
to be devoted hereunder), then Tenant shall have the right to cancel or
terminate this Lease on sixty (60) days written notice to landlord to be given
after the date when title to the portion(s) so taken shall vest in the
appropriate authority or, at Tenant's option, on the date physical possession is
required to be surrendered.
C. (i) In the event that an entire or partial taking of the Demised
Premises occurs during the first fifteen Lease Years, (provided that such taking
is not carried out for the benefit of Tenant, its affiliates, subsidiaries,
successors or assigns) Landlord and Tenant shall pursue, in their respective
individual and separate names and rights, unless otherwise required by law, such
remedies and make such claims as they may have against the authority exercising
such right of eminent domain or other lawful taking as if this Lease and the
term hereof had not expired (whether or not such expiration shall have occurred
on account of such taking) and for the purpose of determining the respective
rights and remedies of the parties, or for the purpose of an equitable
apportionment of
44
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
the award for damages, Landlord shall be deemed to be the owner of the land
constituting the Demised Premises and Tenant shall be deemed to be the owner of
the buildings and all other improvements situated upon said Demised Premises.
The award of damages for such taking shall be apportioned between the parties on
equitable and just principles in accordance with said respective interests and
Tenant shall be entitled to that further award or portion of award for damages
to its leasehold and nonremovable fixtures or loss of value of its leasehold
(but in no event shall tenant be entitled to the diminution in value rent wise
of its leasehold). Rent shall be apportioned and adjusted and advance rent shall
be apportioned to the date title vests in the condemnor or the date possession
is required to be surrendered, whichever is later.
(ii) If such entire or partial taking occurs at any time after the initial
fifteen Lease Years, then for purposes of the apportionment of the award for
such taking, Landlord shall likewise be deemed to be the owner of the land
(including any landscaping thereon) constituting the Demised Premises, but shall
also be deemed to have (solely for these purposes) an interest in all
improvements, nonremovable fixtures and utilities equal to the amount of the
award attributable to such improvements,
45
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
nonremovable fixtures and utilities multiplied by a fraction the denominator of
which shall be seventeen (17) and the numerator shall be the number of Lease
Years elapsed after the fifteenth Lease Year.
(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, if
the taking is carried out for the benefit of Tenant, its subsidiaries,
affiliates, successors or assigns, then Landlord shall be deemed to have (solely
for these purposes) an interest in the structures and fixed improvements
constructed by Tenant on the Demised Premises, equal to the amount of the award
for such taking attributable to such structures and fixed improvements,
multiplied by a fraction the denominator of which shall be thirty two (32) and
the numerator shall be the number of Lease Years (or portion of a Lease Year, if
more than six months have transpired of the then current Lease Year) elapsed
from the Commencement Date.
D. In the event of a partial taking of the Demised Premises, if Tenant
shall not cancel the Lease as hereinabove provided in subparagraph B, this Lease
shall not terminate, but the rental for the land constituting the Demised
Premises shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of land of the Demised
Premises taken and Tenant shall make such repairs or construction
46
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
at its own cost and expense out of the award or portion of award to Tenant,
which in Tenant's judgment is made necessary due to such partial taking.
E. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damage suffered by
Tenant due to the cancellation of this Lease prior to its natural expiration
date by reason of any taking of the Demised Premises by any governmental
authority.

agreement or amendments thereof made by Landlord and Tenant as provided in this
Lease (whether made before or after the mortgage(s), and expressly provide that
such declaration of easements may be modified or terminated without the consent

or additional rent on the date provided for in this Lease, and if such default
shall continue for a period of sixty (60) days after receipt by Tenant of
written notice of said nonpayment; or in the event that Tenant shall default or
fail in the performance of a material covenant or agreement on its part to be
performed in this Lease, and such default shall not have been cured for a period
of sixty (60) days after receipt by Tenant of written notice of said default
from Landlord, or if such default cannot, with due diligence, be cured within

<PAGE>
someone other than the aforesaid Tenant, except as may herein be permitted, and
such adjudication, appointment, assignment, petition, execution, or attachment
shall not be set aside, vacated, discharged, or bonded within one hundred and
twenty (120) days after the issuance of the same, then a default hereunder shall

expense, from time to time, to execute and deliver to Tenant, in recordable
form, within fifteen (15) days after notice from Tenant to do so, any utility
easement proper or necessary to provide the Demised Premises with any water,
sewer, electricity, telephone or cable TV services, in form and substance
acceptable to the utility company providing such service. Landlord covenants and
warrants that it will, within ten (10) days after request by Tenant, execute and
deliver to Tenant, in recordable form, any subordination agreement(s) as Tenant
or any holders of mortgages described in Paragraph Seventeen hereof shall
request to accomplish the aforesaid subordination. Landlord agrees that it will
not unreasonably withhold its consent to, and that it will
52
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
execute in recordable form, any modification(s) or termination requested by
Tenant of any easement so made, and subsequent subordination(s) if so requested
to such modification(s) if any.
B. Said easement shall be superior to any mortgages obtained by Landlord.
C. If Tenant decides to construct water, sewer and/or electricity
generating facilities in the Demised Premises, it shall, as an accommodation to
Landlord, but not as an obligation hereunder, permit Landlord to hook-up to such
facilities and subject to availability and capacity, provide any such services
to Landlord. The hook up of any such service shall be made by Tenant at the sole
cost of Landlord. In such event and as long as such facilities have been made
available to Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the cost, proportional to
Landlord's consumption, to Tenant of providing such services. Such cost shall be
determined on the basis of the actual cost to Tenant of constructing,
distributing, providing and maintaining such facilities and services and
generating or processing the same, including the amortization (on the same basis
that Tenant amortizes such improvements) of the value of any equipment and
installation necessary for the generation and distribution of such utilities
together with all direct costs associated to the operation of such
53
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
equipment, and such overhead as is reasonably determined by Tenant. Nothing
contained herein will constitute an obligation of Tenant to construct or provide
any particular utility or facility or rendering any such services or continue to
provide such facilities, or services from time to time, or to construct any such
facility with a particular capacity, and Tenant shall not be liable for the
discontinuation, failure or refusal to provide any such service at any time or
from time to time, or for any damage that might be sustained by Landlord for
such discontinuation.
Twenty Four: Holdover:
If the Tenant shall hold over as a Tenant after the expiration of the
Lease, then such tenancy shall be deemed to be on a month-to-month basis.
Twenty Five: Partial Invalidity:
If any term, covenant, condition, or provision of this Lease or the
application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, at any time or to any
extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the
application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than
those as to which this Lease is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be
affected thereby, and each term, covenant, condition, and provision of this
54
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Twenty Six: Tenant's Right of First Refusal:
Landlord agrees that if at any time during the term of this Lease Landlord
receives a bona fide offer to purchase the fee of the Demised Premises, any
contract which may be entered into between Landlord and such bona fide purchaser
shall provide that the sale of the fee shall be subject to Tenant's right of
first refusal as hereinafter set forth. In the event of any sale to anyone other
than Tenant herein, the sale shall be subject to this Lease and shall be so
affirmed by the purchaser. In the event that Landlord receives a written offer
or executes a contract as above set forth, Tenant shall have the option, to be
exercised within sixty (60) days after receipt by Tenant of written notice of
the terms of such offer or contract, as the case may be, (together with a copy
of such offer or of such executed contract, as the case may be), to enter into a
contract with Landlord for the purchase of the Demised Premises, and Landlord
agrees to enter into such contract with Tenant, on the same terms and conditions
as contained in said offer to purchase (or as contained in such executed
contract if such contract, as the case may be.)
55
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
If, after the receipt of such notice, together with a copy of the said
offer and of the said contract, if any, Tenant shall fail to exercise its option
in writing within the sixty (60) days period indicated above, Landlord shall
have the right to conclude the proposed sale on the same terms, and no other, as
contained in the offer or contract originally forwarded to Tenant.
Notwithstanding Tenant's failure to exercise such option, Tenant's option shall
remain in force and be binding on any subsequent owner or owners of the Demised
Premises in connection with any subsequent sale to the same extent as if said
subsequent owner or owners had been required to do all of the things required of
Landlord in this Lease prior to any such sale of the Demised Premises. If Tenant
duly exercises its option under the provisions of this Paragraph title to the
property shall be transferred to Tenant subject only to such mortgage or
mortgages as may have been placed against the fee of the Demised Premises by
Landlord or by Landlord's successor in interest.
If Landlord shall decide at any time and from time to time to sell the
Demised Premises, Landlord shall not place the same in the market or offer the
same to the general public until sixty days (60) after offering for sale the
same in writing to Tenant. Any modification of the sale terms of the Demised
Premises as offered
56
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
to Tenant, shall become again subject to a new sixty day right of first refusal
period.
All sales by landlord to their direct descendants shall be exempt from the
aforesaid right of first refusal restrictions, but such direct descendants
shall, upon acquiring title to the Demised Premises, be subject to the aforesaid
right of first refusal restriction, with respect to any subsequent sale or
offer.
For purposes of this Paragraph Twenty Six, the term Demised Premises shall
include the Reserved Area.
Twenty Seven: Written Notice:
Whenever under the terms of this Lease notice is required, or whenever a
written notice or communication is sent, the same shall be in writing and sent

of this Lease to the extent such claim is asserted to arise out of such
claimant's contract or claim having been through the party to be charged. The
provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Lease.
Thirty: Exculpatory Provisions: Notwithstanding any provision in this
Lease to the contrary, Landlord agrees that in the event of any default or
breach by Tenant with respect to any of the terms and provisions of this Lease
on the part of the Tenant to be performed or observed, which causes Landlord to
terminate this Lease prior to its natural expiration date, the obligations and
liability of Tenant for breach of contract and damages, shall be limited to the
payment to Landlord in a lump-sum an amount equal to the Annual Rent for the
Lease Year during which such termination occurs, or to the number of months
remaining until the natural expiration of this Lease, whichever less, plus
reasonable attorney's fees and court costs and expenses incurred in any action
for termination of this Lease and eviction of Tenant.

Thirty Two: Surrender.
Upon the termination or upon the cancellation of this Lease, for any cause
whatsoever, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Demised Premises and all
buildings and structures thereon, in good condition and repair, except for
depreciation and normal wear and tear. Any improvement which Tenant had
discontinued using at the time of said termination which has deteriorated beyond
normal wear and tear, may at Tenant's option, be either repaired or destroyed
and in the latter case, removed from the Demised Premises by and at the cost of
Tenant.
Thirty Three: Quiet Enjoyment:
Landlord agrees, covenants, and warrants that as long as Tenant faithfully
performs the agreements, terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease within
the grace periods and extended periods for any unavoidable delays, Tenant shall
peaceably and quietly have, hold, and enjoy the Demised Premises for the term
and extensions thereof hereby granted without molestation or disturbance by or
from Landlord and free of any and all encumbrances created or suffered by
Landlord.
60
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Landlord warrants and represents that there is no ongoing litigation,
claim or procedure against Landlord or Demised Premises which could affect
Tenant's possessory rights hereunder.
Thirty Four: No Waiver.
No waiver of any covenant or condition contained in this Lease or of any
breach of any such covenant or condition shall constitute a waiver of any
subsequent breach of such covenant or condition by either party, or justify or
authorize the nonobservance on any other occasion of the same or any other
covenant or condition hereof of either party. All waivers hereto shall be in
writing signed by the parties hereto.
Thirty Five: Interpretation.
This Lease shall be construed in accordance with the law of the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Whenever the contents of any provisions shall
require it, the singular number shall be held to include the plural number, and
vice versa. The neuter gender includes the masculine and the feminine.
Thirty Six: Joint Obligations.

respective successors or assigns.
Thirty Eight: Transfers to Controlled Entity:
Landlord may transfer the Demised Premises to a corporation or to a
special partnership at any time, provided that Landlord retains thereafter
controlling interest in such corporation or special partnership, and provided
further that such corporation or special partnership, and Landlord's interest
therein, shall be subject to the right of first refusal provisions contained in
Section Twenty Six hereof. After the date of any such transfer, such special
partnership or corporation shall be deemed to be the Landlord hereunder for all
purposes, and, at the request of Tenant, shall execute such document as may be
necessary to reflect such substitution of record. Controlling interest for

shall be, at the time of substitution or amendment, the charge which the Bank is
imposing for substitutions or amendments of similar letters of credit. A
reinstatement of the Stated Amount pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Credit
shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be a substitution or amendment of the
Letter of Credit for the purposes of this subparagraph (d).
(e) Drawing Fees. In consideration of the use of the Letter of
Credit, the Company hereby agrees to pay to the Bank, upon each disbursement
made by the Bank under the Letter of Credit, a fee equal to $500, or such other

any participant's increase in cost or reduction in rate of return)
(collectively, INCREASED COSTS) actually incurred or determined by the Bank to
have been incurred in issuing or maintaining the Letter of Credit or funding or
maintaining Drawings (which increase in cost or reduction in rate of return
shall be determined by the Bank's allocation of the aggregate of such cost
increases or reduction in rates of return, as the case may be, resulting from
such event), including, without limitation, any such costs attributable to
present or future reserve, special deposit or similar requirements, present or
future capital adequacy requirements, or other regulatory conditions applicable
to the Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Bank shall issue and/or
maintain the Letter of Credit through a lending office of the Bank located
outside of the United States, the Company shall not pay any Increased Costs in
excess of Increased Costs that would have been incurred if the Letter of Credit
had been issued and/or maintained by a lending office of the Bank located in the
United States, and (ii) if the Bank shall issue participations in the Letter of
Credit, the Borrower shall not pay any Increased Costs with respect to such
participant's costs of the nature referred to above to the extent such Increased
Costs of such participant exceed what the Increased Costs would have been if the
Bank had not issued such participation in the Letter of Credit. A certificate
setting forth in reasonable detail such increased cost or reduced rate of return
and the calculation of the amount demanded, submitted by the Bank to the
Company, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof.

the proceeds of any Drawing under the Letter of Credit;

shall be due, in such order as the Bank may elect. Upon termination of the
Letter of Credit and this Agreement, and provided the Company shall have paid to

Deficiency Loans (as defined in the Company Partnership Agreement), whether or

or other fees and expenses related to the operation of the Project; provided,

under the Company Partnership Agreement may be used by the Company to pay any
portion of the Total Project Costs for which the Company has insufficient funds
and (B) the foregoing restriction shall be of no effect from and after the
Coverage Date. After the Date of Substantial Completion and until the Coverage

at such times as the Bank shall determine in the reasonable exercise of its
judgment that an Operating Deficit exists with respect to any month, to require
the General Partners to make Deficiency Loans in amounts of up to $20,000,000 in

Loans of up to $6,000,000 in the aggregate which may have previously been
voluntarily advanced to pay Total Project Costs to the extent hereinabove
permitted), and (B) to apply such funds on account of such Operating Deficits.
The Bank shall have no right to cause Deficiency Loans to be made to pay
principal under the Bonds, the Loan Agreement or hereunder. In the event that
WKA elects not to make the Deficiency Loan pursuant to Section 6.03 of the
Company Partnership Agreement, the Bank may exercise the right of WKA pursuant
to Section 6.03 of the Company Partnership Agreement to require KGC to make the
Deficiency Loan on behalf of WKA through the making of a KG Loan (as defined in
the Company Partnership Agreement). In the event of a default by KGC in its
obligations to make a KG Loan, the Bank shall have the right, under the Four
Party Agreement, to cause the Company or WKA, respectively, to exercise such
available rights and remedies with respect thereto as the Bank shall determine.
The Bank's right to require Deficiency Loans to be made shall cease during the
pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding with respect to the Company or in the
event of the commencement of any foreclosure or similar proceeding with respect
to the Company's interest in the Project. If any Deficiency Loan is made to
enable the Company to make the deposit of interest on the Bonds required under
Section 401(c) of the Loan Agreement, then any Net Earnings, up to the amount of
such Deficiency Loan, for the period from the date of such deposit on the
Interest Payment Date to which such deposit relates, shall be paid to the Bank
to be held by the Bank for the benefit of the Company as collateral security for
the obligations of the Company hereunder and, subject to the conditions to
disbursement contained herein, disbursed by the Bank on account of the next
succeeding Disbursements with respect to Operating Deficits. Unless and until
such funds are withdrawn or disbursed from such account, any funds in such
account (i) maybe commingled with the general funds of the Bank, (ii) shall bear
interest at a fluctuating rate per annum, which rate shall be equal to the
Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (iii) together with such interest, shall
constitute additional security for the Company's performance of their
obligations pursuant to this Agreement (a security interest therein being
granted hereby to the Bank). Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of
any Event of Default, any sums in such account and any interest accrued thereon
may be applied by the Bank to the payment of the obligations of the Company
hereunder when and as the same shall be due, in such order, as the Bank may
elect. Upon
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-44-
termination of the Letter of Credit and this Agreement, provided the Company
shall have paid to the Bank all amounts due and to become due to the Bank
hereunder, the Bank shall release and pay to the Company the amount remaining,
if any, of such funds, together with any interest earned thereon and not
theretofore disbursed.

outstanding), respectively, and such documents shall remain in full force and
effect at all times in accordance with their terms. The Company shall not cause
or suffer any event of default on its part to occur under such documents. It is
expressly agreed that so long as the GDB is prevented by reason of the GDB
Standstill Agreement from exercising any rights or remedies against the Company
or any of the Collateral, then any failure by the Company to comply with any
non-monetary term or condition of the documents executed in connection with the
GDB Loan shall not, by itself, be deemed a breach by the Company of this Section
7(jj) or a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any Operative
Document.
(kk) Compliance with Environmental Laws. The Company will
comply with any and all Legal Requirements and Environmental Laws with respect
to the discharge, removal and disposal of Hazardous Material, and the Company
shall pay immediately when due the costs of removal and disposal of any such

to such Legal Requirements or Environmental Laws. In addition to all other
rights available to the Bank in connection therewith, if the Company fails to
comply with any requirement of this paragraph, the Bank may, but shall not be
obligated to, cause the Project to be freed from the Hazardous Material, with
the cost of the removal and disposal thereof being payable by the Company upon
the Bank's demand therefor. The Company further agrees not to release or dispose
of any Hazardous Material at the Project without the express written approval of

however, that if the Bank requests such audit more often than once in any
calendar year, such additional audit shall be conducted at the Bank's cost and
expense. The Company shall cooperate in the conduct of any such environmental
audit. The Company shall give the Bank and its agents and employees access to
the Project to remove Hazardous Material, and the Company agrees to indemnify

Construction Documents, the Project Documents, the Permitted Encumbrances and
any lien in favor of GDB created pursuant to the GDB Loan and consented to by

performance of which by the other party thereto would give rise to a Lien
against all or any portion of the Collateral.

current zoning law and declarations covering the Project permit the Construction
of the Improvements to be completed and, upon completion of Construction, the
Improvements to be used as contemplated by this Agreement. The Project and, upon

reasonably anticipated to be incurred in connection with the Construction,
equipping and leasing of the Improvements.

Document are effective to create a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on or
security interest in all of the Collateral described therein, subject to the
proper filing thereof, and when the appropriate recordings and filings have been
effected in public offices, each of the Security Documents will constitute a
perfected Lien on and security interest in all right, title, estate and interest
in the Collateral described therein, prior and superior to all other Liens,
except as permitted under the Operative Documents.
(w) Hazardous Materials. Except as specifically disclosed in
the Environmental Report, the Premises and the Improvements are not currently
and, to be best of the Company's knowledge, have never been subject to Hazardous
Materials or their effects. Other than as disclosed in the Environmental Report,

9. DISBURSEMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION
(a) Disbursements for Construction. Each Disbursement shall be
made by the Trustee pursuant to Requests for Disbursements from time to time,
from the principal office of the Trustee or from such other place as the Trustee
may designate, and must be accompanied by a certificate of an Authorized Officer
of the Bank authorizing and directing such Disbursement. Each Disbursement
authorized by the Bank in accordance with the terms hereof shall be made in
accordance with the terms hereof and shall be made to or deposited in the
separate bank account of the Company at ScotiaBank de Puerto Rico (the
CONSTRUCTION TRUST ACCOUNT) which shall not be drawn upon except to pay for Hard
Costs and Soft Costs approved by the Bank, and shall be established so that the
Bank and the Trustee receive or are entitled to receive, on request, from the
depositary bank duplicate copies of regular monthly statements of all deposits
and withdrawals (including checks). Each Request for Disbursement under the Loan
shall be made in writing, shall be submitted to the Bank with a copy to the
Bank's Consultant not less than 10 Business Days prior to the proposed date for
such Disbursement and shall specify the Hard Costs and Soft Costs to be paid
with the proceeds of the requested Disbursement, including, without limitation,
the amount of any Retainage previously withheld and which has then become
payable by the Company. Each Request for Disbursement which requests payment for
Hard Costs (other than for payment of the Construction Manager's fixed monthly
fee payable under the terms of the Construction Management Agreement) shall be
accompanied by (i) the Trade Contractor's requisitions for payment, dated on or
about the date of such Request for Disbursement, accompanied by true copies of
unpaid invoices and receipted bills and noting that the only amounts due and
owing (other than any retainage pursuant to the
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-53-
terms of the applicable Trade Contract or subcontract) are the amounts to be
paid to trade contractors out of the Disbursement being requested or amounts due
and payable but which are being disputed by the Company and which are not
included in such Request for Disbursement, each of which shall be certified as
true and complete by the Company, (ii) a list of all Trade Contracts executed
since the date of the then last preceding Disbursement, together with a
certification that copies of the same and all contracts with any contractor or
subcontractor involved with the Construction of the Improvements executed by or
on behalf of the Company since the date of the then last preceding Disbursement
have been submitted to the Bank's Consultant prior to the date of such Request
for Disbursement, (iii) a list of all Work Changes, together with a statement by
the Company that copies of the same have been submitted to the Bank's Consultant
prior to the date of such Request for Disbursement, and (iv) evidence
satisfactory to the Bank that the full amount of the proceeds of the last
preceding Disbursement has been paid out by the Company in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the case of any Disbursement to pay
any Soft Cost (other than interest due with respect to the Loan or payment of
the fixed monthly fees payable under the terms of the Management Agreement),
such Request for Disbursement shall be accompanied by true copies of the unpaid
invoices and a description of the costs for which the Disbursement being made,
as well as such additional supporting information as the Bank shall reasonably
request to the effect that such costs have been properly incurred and are due
and payable and are within budgeted amounts. The Bank shall not be required to
make any Disbursement for payment of amounts owed under any Trade Contract for
which the Bank has not previously received an Assignment of Contracts. All
Disbursements shall be made on a monthly basis and, with respect to
Disbursements for interest under the Loan, shall be made on the date on which
the Partnership is obligated to pay such interest pursuant to Section 401(c) of
the Loan Agreement. In the case of Disbursements to pay interest due with
respect to the Loan, any Request for Disbursement shall be reduced by the amount
of the Net Earnings reasonably estimated by the Borrower with respect to the
period commencing on the date of the previous Request for Disbursement and
ending on the date of the current Request for Disbursement. The next succeeding
Request for Disbursement shall be accompanied by a statement by the Borrower
certifying the actual amount of the Net Earnings for the prior period and such
Request for Disbursement shall be adjusted to take into account any variation
between the estimated Net Earnings and the actual Net Earnings for such prior
period as certified. To the extent that the Borrower's obligations under Section
2 of the Bond Swap Agreement for any period exceeds the interest on the Bonds
for such period, such excess shall be disbursed from the Project Fund to the
Bank as counterparty under the Bond Swap Agreement.
(b) Retainages. All Disbursements for Hard Costs (other than
for payment of the Construction Manager's fixed monthly fee payable under the
terms of the Construction Management Agreement) shall be subject to a retention
(each a RETAINAGE) equal to the greater of (i) 10% of the requested amount or
(ii) the amounts actually withheld or to be withheld pursuant to the contract
relating to such Hard Costs, which Retainage shall be disbursed after the later
to occur of (A) the date on which the Bank has received evidence satisfactory to
the
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-54-
Bank of the completion of the work of the trade in question in accordance with
the requirements of the contract therefor and (B) the date on which the Bank has
received releases or other evidence satisfactory to the Bank in its sole
discretion that the contractor in question has no other claim of payment against
the Company other than the amount of the applicable Retainage.
(c) Bank's Consultant. The Company acknowledges that the Bank,
pursuant to a separate agreement and at the Company's expense, has retained the
Bank's Consultant to review the Budget, the Plans and such other matters
relating to the Construction of the Improvements as the Bank shall request, and
to furnish reports to the Bank from time to time on the progress of Construction
with each Request for Disbursement for Hard Costs and as otherwise requested by
the Bank. In order to enable the Bank's Consultant to complete its reports to
the Bank, the Company shall permit the Bank's Consultant, at any reasonable time
and as frequently as the Bank shall require, (i) to inspect the Project and (ii)
to inspect and review all documentation with respect thereto, including, without
limitation, (x) all change orders and field orders which modify the Plans or any
contract or subcontract or which change the price, schedule or any other aspect
of the Construction of the Improvements, (y) all contracts or, to the extent the
same are in the Company's possession, subcontracts relating to the Construction
of the Improvements and (z) such other information as the Bank's Consultant
shall request relating to (1) the Construction of the Improvements (including
copies of receipts, invoices and other supporting documentation to substantiate
the costs to be paid from the proceeds of any requested Disbursement) and/or (2)
the state of the Company's claimed title to any materials, fixtures or articles
incorporated or to be incorporated in the Project.
(d) Disbursements for Operating Deficits. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, Disbursements for Operating Deficits, to the
extent provided in the Budget under the Line Item for "Interest Reserves"
(OPERATING DEFICIT ADVANCES) shall be made not more frequently than once per
calendar month and on the same date as the Disbursement for other costs is made
for such month. At least ten days prior to the proposed date for an Operating
Deficit Advance, the Borrower shall deliver to the Bank a request for an
Operating Deficit Advance, together with such financial statements and other
information as the Bank shall require in order to confirm that the amount of the
Operating Deficit Advance requested is less than or equal to the then
outstanding amount of Operating Deficits.
(e) Documentation to the Bank. All documents required to be
submitted to the Bank as a condition of each Disbursement shall be furnished to
the Bank at its office referred to in Paragraph 14(g) hereof, or to such other
address or to the attention of such other Person as shall be designated in
writing by the Bank in a notice to the Company.
(f) Use of Disbursements. All Disbursements shall be used by
the Company to pay for Hard Costs and Soft Costs with respect to which such
Disbursement was made.

-55-
(g) Determination of Amounts of Disbursements. Disbursements,
or portions thereof, allocable to Hard Costs (other than to payment of the
Construction Manager's fixed monthly fee payable under the terms of the
Construction Management Agreement) shall be made on the basis of the documented
cost of (i) the work in place or completed or (ii) subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 9(i) below the construction materials stored on or off of the Premises
or in fabrication, in each case as certified by the Company and the Construction
Manager and verified by the Bank's Consultant.
(h) Final Disbursement. The final Disbursement of the proceeds
of the Loan shall be conditioned on, in addition to those items listed in this
Agreement, the Bank's receipt, prior to authorizing or directing the Trustee to
make such Disbursement, of (A) written assurance satisfactory to the Bank from
the Bank's Consultant to the effect that Construction of the Improvements has
been completed, and any necessary utilities have been finished and made
available for use, in accordance with the Plans and (B) the final Survey of the
Project described in Paragraph 7(ee).
(i) Disbursements for Deposits or Stored Materials.
Disbursements for deposits placed with suppliers, or for materials stored at any
location, whether on the Project or otherwise, or in fabrication, shall be made,
in the amount of such deposits or the documented cost to the Company of such
materials, as the case may be, each such Disbursement to be made strictly in
accordance with the following terms and conditions:
(A) the Company shall deliver to the Bank (i) with
respect to such deposits, assignments of the Company's
interest in the contracts pursuant to which the deposits were
made, and acknowledgements of and consents to such assignments
by the other contracting party, and (ii) in the case of stored
materials bills of sale or other evidence satisfactory to the
Bank of the cost of, and the Company's title in and to, such
materials;
(B) the Company shall deliver to the Bank (i)
evidence satisfactory to the Bank that (x) security measures
have been taken to protect such stored materials from theft,
casualty or deterioration including, if requested by the Bank,

adequately to give notice to all third parties of the
Company's title in and to such materials and (ii) written
evidence from the supplier of the stored materials identifying
such materials and indicating that ownership thereof is
vested, or upon payment therefore will vest, in the Company,
free and clear of all Liens;
(C) the Company shall provide proof satisfactory to
the Bank that such stored materials are insured against all
risk of loss for their full replacement cost
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-56-
or such lesser amount as may be approved by the Bank and that
such insurance contains a standard mortgagee loss payable
endorsement;
(D) if such materials are stored off-site, the Bank
shall have received evidence satisfactory to the Bank (which
may include a Chattel Mortgage) of the Bank's perfected first
priority lien on and security interest in such materials;
(E) any such deposits shall be with suppliers in the
United States or Puerto Rico and shall be either (i) for
materials the cost of purchase and installation of which is
guarantied pursuant to the Completion Guaranty, or (ii) with a
supplier whose obligations under the relevant contract are
secured by a bond or other third-party guaranty satisfactory
to the Bank in its sole discretion.
(F) (x) the aggregate amount disbursed under this
Agreement in respect of such deposits with suppliers or for
materials stored off the Premises or materials in fabrication
of any time outstanding shall not exceed $4,000,000; and
(G) in the event any such stored materials are
stolen, lost or in any other manner misplaced, destroyed or
rendered unusable, the Bank shall not be obligated to
authorize or direct the Trustee to make a Disbursement with
respect thereto if such materials are stolen, lost or in any
other manner misplaced, destroyed or rendered unusable prior
to the making of any Disbursement with respect thereto or
otherwise to make any Disbursement on account of the cost of
replacement thereof (unless such Disbursement is within the
Budget or unless such Disbursement involves the release of
insurance proceeds required to be released to the Company
pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement).
(j) Reallocation. If at any time the Bank determines that the
cost to complete a Line Item as set forth in the Budget exceeds the undisbursed
portion of the Bond Proceeds to be advanced from the Project Fund allocable to
such Line Item, the Bank shall only be required to make an additional
Disbursements on account of such Line Item (i) to the extent of the undisbursed
portion of the Bond Proceeds to be advanced from the Project Fund allocable to
such Line Item, (ii) from other Line Items to the extent of any savings in such
other Line Item as demonstrated by the Company to the satisfaction of the Bank
in its sole and absolute discretion, and (iii) from the undisbursed portion of
the Line Item for contingency for Hard Costs or Soft Costs, as the case may be,
provided that in any event the percentage of such Line Item for contingency
which remains undisbursed at any time shall not be less than the percentage of
the Hard Costs or Soft Costs portion of the Budget for the Project, as the case
may be, which has not yet been disbursed at such time. The Company shall be
responsible to advance from its own funds all additional amounts required to
complete the Line Item in question in accordance with the Plans; provided,
however, that any cash or equivalent security deposited with the Bank
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-57-
by the Company pursuant to Paragraph 9(k) below with respect to the Line item in
question shall reduce the total of the additional amounts so required by an
equivalent amount.
(k) Loan Balance. Anything in this Agreement contained to the
contrary notwithstanding, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Loan
shall at all times be in balance. The Loan shall be deemed to be in balance only
at such time and from time to time as the Bank may determine that the aggregate
of the undisbursed Bond Proceeds (and after provision for any reallocation then
permissible pursuant to Paragraph 9(j)) above and applicable Retainage, if any)
is sufficient to pay the aggregate of the cost of completing the Construction of
the Improvements and the other costs contemplated in the Budget, as estimated by
the Bank and the Bank's Consultant, including, without limitation, the
undisbursed contingency amount provided for in the Budget and the payment of
interest due with respect to the Loan through the then-anticipated Date of
Substantial Completion. The Company agrees that, if the Bank determines than the
amount of such undisbursed Bond Proceeds shall at any time be or become
insufficient for such purpose regardless of how such condition may be caused,
then as a condition precedent to the Bank's direction or authorization of the
Trustee to make any further Disbursements, the Company shall deposit with the
Bank cash or equivalent security or such other security as is acceptable to the
Bank in its sole and absolute discretion in an amount reasonably determined by
the Bank to eliminate such deficiency. In determining the cost of completing any
portion of the Construction of the Improvements which is the subject of a fixed
price contract or a guaranteed maximum price contract, (a) a reasonable
contingency, as determined by the Bank, shall be added to the face amount of
such fixed price contract or guaranteed maximum price contract, as the case may
be, and (b) the Bank shall consider the value of work relating to the
Construction of the Improvements for which a contract has been entered into and
the value of such work for which a contract has not been entered into. Any funds
deposited with the Bank pursuant to this Paragraph 9(k) on account of any
deficiency may be applied by the Bank to pay costs of the Line Items as to which
such projected or anticipated deficiencies exist before the Bank shall direct or
authorize the Trustee to disburse proceeds of the Loan to pay such costs. In the
event that the Company shall deposit cash or deliver other security as
aforesaid, and if, after completion of the portion of the Improvements with
respect to which such deficiency was claimed, any funds remain undisbursed with
respect to the costs in connection with which such deposit was made, the Bank
will pay the surplus portion of such deficiency to the Company out of the
undisbursed proceeds of the surplus cash deposited by the Company as aforesaid
for such claimed deficiency and/or release to the Company any remaining cash,
cash equivalent security or other security, as the case may be.
(l) Disbursements after Default. At its option, the Bank may,
after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default, authorize or direct the Trustee to make all Disbursements for work
performed or materials furnished directly to Trade Contractors or to the
Construction Manager, as the case may be, by deposit in an appropriately
designated special bank account and/or by check payable to the Person to whom a
Disbursement is to be made, and the execution of this Agreement by the Company
shall, and
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-58-
hereby does, constitute an irrevocable direction and authorization to so
disburse the funds. No further direction or authorization from the Company shall
be necessary or required for such direct Disbursements and all such
Disbursements shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of the Bank hereunder and
shall be secured by the applicable Security Documents as fully as if made to the
Company, regardless of the disposition thereof by any Trade Contractor or the
Construction Manager.
(m) Method of Disbursement. Subject to the provisions of this
Agreement and the Loan Agreement, the Bank will direct the Trustee to disburse
from the Project Fund into the Construction Trust Account and the Company will
accept the amount of the Loan in installments as follows:
The Initial Disbursement will be made upon the
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Paragraph 10 hereof and
all subsequent Disbursements shall be made not more frequently than monthly
thereafter, upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in
Paragraph 11 hereof, in amounts which shall be equal to the aggregate of the
Hard Costs and Soft Costs incurred by the Company through the end of the period
covered by the relevant Request for Disbursement, less:
(i) the Retainage; and
(ii) the total of the Disbursements
theretofore authorized or directed by the Bank to be made by the Trustee; and,
at the election of the Bank, less:
(iii) any costs covered by the relevant
Request for Disbursement not approved, certified or verified as provided herein
and/or any Hard Costs and/or Soft Costs covered by a previous Request for
Disbursement for which the items required pursuant to Paragraph 9(a) hereof have
not been received by the Bank and the Bank's Consultant.
(n) Disbursements for Amounts Due. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement which may be to the contrary, the Bank shall at all times have
the right, without regard to the Budget and the amount or classification of Line
Items and by its own action, to authorize or direct the Trustee to advance funds
into the Construction Trust Account for the purpose of paying (i) interest and
any other sums then due and payable to the Bank with respect to the Letter of
credit or pursuant to the Operative Documents or this Agreement and/or (ii)
interest and any other sums then due and payable to GDB with respect to the GDB
Loan and/or (iii) any amounts payable to the Bank under the Bond Swap Agreement.
(o) Partial Disbursements. If any or all conditions precedent
to making a Disbursement have not been satisfied on the applicable funding date
for such Disbursement, the
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-59-
Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, authorize or direct the Trustee to
disburse only that portion of the requested Disbursement for which all of the
conditions have been satisfied.
(p) Investment of Bond Proceeds. The Bond Proceeds will be
held by the Trustee in the Project Fund and will be invested in accordance with
the Investment Agreement dated the date hereof between the Trustee and the GDB.
(q) Disbursements for Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary and in addition to the other requirements hereunder, the
Bank shall not be required to make any Disbursement hereunder for the
acquisition by the Company of any boats, buses, limousines or other moving
vehicles unless the Company has executed and delivered a Chattel Mortgage (or,
in the case of boats, such other mortgage as is required pursuant to Section
7(oo) hereof) in connection therewith prior to the date of any Disbursement
therefor, and has, at its sole cost and expense, caused such Chattel Mortgage to
be properly filed for record in the corresponding Section of the Property
Registry of Puerto Rico and/or the Department of Transportation and Public Works
of Puerto Rico, as applicable.

evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Documents. Upon the occurrence
of any Event of Default, the rights, powers and privileges provided in this
Paragraph 12(d) and all other remedies available to the Bank under this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents or by statute or by rule of law may
be exercised by the Bank at any time and from time to time whether or not the

foreclosure or other action for the enforcement of any of the Mortgage, the
Pledge Agreement or the Note. The Company hereby assigns and quitclaims to the

additional security (a security interest therein being granted hereby to the
Bank) for the repayment of the Loan, all of which security may be utilized by
the Bank for the purposes set forth in this Paragraph 12(d) or applied against
the indebtedness evidenced by the Note as the Bank, in its sole and absolute
discretion, shall determine

to employ any or all of the remedies available to it upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, the Bank shall not be liable for the Construction of or

discharged from all of their obligations hereunder except for those obligations
that expressly survive the termination hereof.
(g) Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred or
reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies,
but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other remedy given under this Agreement or any other Operative Document or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or
omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission or
failure of performance hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall
be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to
exercise any remedy reserved to the Bank in this Agreement, it shall not be
necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly
required. In the event any provision contained in this Agreement should be
breached by any party or thereafter duly waived by the other party so empowered
to act, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and
shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder. No waiver, amendment,
release or modification of this Agreement shall be established by conduct,
custom or course of dealing, but solely by an instrument in writing duly
executed by the parties thereunto duly authorized by this Agreement.

Company against any and all of the obligations of the Company now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not the Bank shall
have made any demand hereunder.
(e) No Approval of Work. No Disbursement authorized hereunder
shall constitute an approval or acceptance by the Bank of the work theretofore
done in connection with the Project or a waiver of any of the conditions of the
Bank's obligation to make or authorize further Disbursements, nor, in the event
the Company is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any such failure to
insist upon compliance have the effect of precluding the Bank from thereafter
declaring such inability to be an Event of Default as herein provided, it being
agreed that any Disbursement made or authorized by the Bank in the absence of
strict compliance with any or all of the conditions of the Bank's obligation to
make or authorize such Disbursement shall be deemed to have been made pursuant
to this Agreement and not in modification of the terms hereof, unless the Bank
has specifically waived any such condition or approved a deviation therefrom.
(f) Bank's Review. Inspection and approvals of the Plans, the
Project and the workmanship and materials used therein shall impose no
responsibility or liability of any nature whatsoever on the Bank and no Person
shall, under any circumstances, be entitled to rely upon such inspections and

matters covered under this Agreement shall be narrowly construed to cover only

Dear Sirs:
At the request and for the account of El Conquistador Partnership L.P.,

in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, to pay the unpaid principal,
or the portion of the Purchase Price (as defined in the Trust Agreement)
corresponding to principal, of the Bonds. An amount not exceeding $4,800,000
(such amount, as reduced and reinstated from time to time in accordance with the

certain Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement dated that date hereof
between the Account Party and us (such agreement, as it may be amended or

CREDIT AGREEMENT).
We hereby irrevocably authorize you to draw, in accordance with the
terms and conditions hereof, in one or more drawings by one or more of your
drafts (a) an amount not exceeding, in the aggregate, the Principal Component,
to pay the principal of the Bonds in the event and to the extent that the

-2-
available sufficient other Eligible Moneys (as defined in the Trust Agreement)

substantially the form of Annex I attached hereto; (b) an amount not exceeding,
in the aggregate, the Interest Component, to pay interest, or the portion of the

interest accrued on Bonds the Holder (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of
which is (i) the Account Party or (ii) any of Kumagai International USA,
Corporation, Kumagai Caribbean, Inc., KG (Caribbean) Corporation or Williams
Hospitality Management Corporation (collectively, the Guarantors), (b) any

"Drawn under The Mitsubishi Bank, Limited, New York Branch, Irrevocable
Transferable Standby Letter of Credit No. C-182" and accompanied by your written
and completed certificate substantially in the form of Annex I, Annex II or
Annex III attached hereto, as appropriate. All drawings under this Letter of
Credit will be paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Letter
of Credit, with our own funds.
Each Purchase Drawing honored by us hereunder shall automatically
reduce the Principal Component and the amount available to be drawn hereunder by
subsequent Purchase Drawings or Principal Drawings by an amount equal to the
amount of such Purchase Drawing. Each Principal Drawing honored by us hereunder
shall automatically reduce (i) the Principal Component and the amount available
to be drawn hereunder by subsequent Purchase Drawings or Principal Drawings by
an amount equal to the amount of such Principal Drawing and (ii) the Interest
Component and the amount available to be drawn hereunder by subsequent Interest
Drawings to an amount equal to 120 days' accrued interest (computed as described
below) on the Principal Component as so reduced. Each such reduction shall be
effective on the day of the honoring by us of such Purchase Drawing or Principal
Drawing, as the case may be, and shall automatically result in a corresponding
aggregate reduction in the Stated Amount. Upon the release by the Trustee, at
our direction, pursuant to Section 5 of the Pledge Agreement (as defined in the
Trust Agreement), of any Pledged Bonds the Principal Component, and the amount
available to be drawn hereunder by subsequent Purchase Drawings or Principal
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-3-
Drawings (unless the Principal Component has been previously reinstated with
respect to such Purchase Drawing) shall be automatically reinstated by an amount
equal to the principal of such Pledged Bonds and the Interest Component shall be
automatically reinstated to an amount equal to 120 days' accrued interest on the
reinstated Principal Component, computed as described below, each such
reinstatement effective on the date of the release of such Pledged Bonds;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Principal Component be reinstated
to an amount in excess of an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
the Bonds then Outstanding (as defined in the Trust Agreement).
Each Interest Drawing honored by us hereunder shall automatically
reduce the Interest Component and the amount available to be drawn hereunder by
subsequent Interest Drawings by an amount equal to the amount of such Interest
Drawing effective on the day of the honoring by us of such Interest Drawing.
Such reduction shall automatically and irrevocably result in a corresponding
reduction in the Stated Amount. If you shall not have received from us, within
15 calendar days after the honoring by us of any Interest Drawing, notice to the
effect that we have not been reimbursed for such Interest Drawing or that any
other "Event of Default" has occurred and is continuing under the Letter of
Credit Agreement and instructing you as the Trustee to declare the principal of
the Bonds to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 803 of the Trust
Agreement, then the Interest Component and the amount available to be drawn
hereunder by subsequent Interest Drawings shall be automatically reinstated by
us, effecting on the sixteenth calendar day after an honoring by us of such
Interest Drawing, by an amount equal to the amount of such Interest Drawing. In
no event shall the Interest Component be reinstated to an amount in excess of
the lesser of (i) $4,800,000 and (ii) an amount equal to 120 days' accrued
interest on the then effective Principal Component, computed at a rate of 12%
per annum for 120 days on the basis of 360-day year, including the first day but
excluding the last day, notwithstanding the actual rate borne from time to time
by the Bonds. Each such reinstatement of the Interest Component and the amount
available to be drawn hereunder by subsequent Interest Drawings shall
automatically result in a corresponding reinstatement of the Stated Amount.
Upon receipt by us of your written and completed certificate in
substantially the form of Annex IV attached hereto, with respect to the
cancellation of Bonds in accordance with Section 508 of the Trust Agreement, the
Stated Amount shall be reduced to an amount equal to the amount stated in
paragraph 6 of said certificate, and the amounts available to be drawn hereunder
by you by any subsequent Principal Drawings, Purchase Drawings or Interest
Drawings shall be reduced, effective upon our receipt of such certificate, to
the amounts stated in paragraph 4 (for Principal Drawings or Purchase Drawings)
and paragraph 5 (for Interest Drawings), respectively, of such certificate. If
the Stated Amount shall be partially reduced pursuant to this paragraph, we
shall have the right to require you to surrender this Letter of Credit to us on
or before the tenth Business Day (as hereinafter defined) following our receipt
of such certificate. Upon such surrender, we may, at our option, either (a)
amend this Letter of Credit to reflect thereon the amount of such reduction and
the corresponding reductions in
<PAGE>

FIRST AMENDMENT TO
LETTER OF CREDIT AND REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
This FIRST AMENDMENT TO LETTER OF CREDIT AND REIMBURSEMENT
AGREEMENT (this AMENDMENT) dated as of May 5, 1992 between EL CONQUISTADOR
PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the COMPANY), WKA EL CON

W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, the Company and the Bank entered into that certain
Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement dated as of February 7, 1991 (the
LC AGREEMENT; all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
respective meanings assigned to them in the LC Agreement); and
WHEREAS, the LC Agreement required the Initial Disbursement to
occur on or prior to February 7, 1992; and
WHEREAS, the conditions to the Initial Disbursement enumerated
in the LC Agreement were not fulfilled in all respects by February 7, 1992; and
WHEREAS, the Bank has determined, with the concurrence of the
Company, that the aggregate amount of undisbursed Bond Proceeds is insufficient
to pay the aggregate of the cost of completing the Construction of the
Improvements and the other costs contemplated in the Budget, and that the amount
required to eliminate such insufficiency is $24,000,000; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Paragraph 9(k) of the LC Agreement, the
Bank has
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
required, as a condition to the Initial Disbursement, that the Company and/or
its partners deposit with the Bank the amount of $24,000,000 (the Loan Balance
Amount); and
WHEREAS, a portion of the Loan Balance Amount represents
amounts previously expended by the Borrower and with respect to which the
Borrower is entitled to reimbursement; and
WHEREAS, WKA and KGC have determined to each provide one-half
of the Loan Balance Amount as equity and/or a loan to the Company; and
WHEREAS, in order to finance a portion of such contributions,
WKA and KGC shall together borrow the amount of $8,000,000 from GDB on the date
hereof, pursuant to a Credit Facility Agreement dated the date hereof among GDB,
WKA and KGC (the GDB Additional Loan Agreement); and
WHEREAS, in consideration of the Bank's agreement to allow the
Initial Disbursement to occur after February 7, 1992, the Company has agreed to
certain changes in the terms and conditions to the LC Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. The following terms defined in the LC Agreement shall be
changed to mean the following:
COMPANY PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT shall mean that certain Venture
Agreement dated January 12, 1990 between KGC and WKA, as amended by that certain
Amendment Agreement dated April 30, 1992 (the Amendment to Venture Agreement).
2
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
COMPLETION DATE shall mean October 12, 1993.
GUARANTIES shall mean the (i) Environmental Indemnity, the
Completion Guaranty, the Secondary Completion Guaranty, and (ii) the Completion
Guaranty of even date herewith by WKA to the Company.
GUARANTORS shall mean KIUSA, KGCC, KGC, Williams and WKA.
INITIAL DISBURSEMENT shall mean the initial disbursement by
the Bank of the funds held by the Bank pursuant to Section 9(k) of the LC
Agreement.
SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION shall mean the occurrence of all of the
following events: (i) the completion of the Construction of the Improvements
(excluding punchlist items) in accordance with all Legal Requirements and
substantially in accordance with the Plans as to any aspect of Construction and
the issuance of applicable use or occupancy permits therefor satisfactory to the
Bank; (ii) the delivery to the Bank of certificates, in form and content
satisfactory to the Bank, from the Company, the Architects and the Bank's
Consultant to the effect that all of the work required to be performed
substantially to complete the Improvements in accordance with all Legal
Requirements and in accordance with the Plans has been performed; and (iii) the
Commencement Date under the Management Agreement.
2. The Annual Letter of Credit Fee shall be increased by .20%
per annum through the Date of Substantial Completion and by .30% per annum
thereafter, so that the percentages 1.25%, 1.05% and .90% which appear in
Section 2(b) of the LC Agreement shall be changed to 1.45%, 1.35% and 1.20%,
respectively.
3. The Bank consents to the execution and delivery of the
Amendment to Venture Agreement. Accordingly, the first three sentences of
Section 7(ii) of the LC Agreement
3
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
are amended in their entirety as follows:
(ii) Deficiency Loans. Any funds advanced to the
Company as Deficiency Loans (as defined in the Company Partnership
Agreement), whether or not at the direction of the Bank, shall be
applied only to the operating costs or other fees and expenses related
to the operation of the Project; provided, however, that the foregoing
restriction shall be of no effect from and after the Coverage Date.
After the Date of Substantial Completion and until the Coverage Date,
the Bank will have the right to cause the Company, acting through WKA,
(A) at such times as the Bank shall determine in the reasonable
exercise of its judgment that an Operating Deficit exists with respect
to any month, to require the General Partners to make Deficiency Loans
in amounts of up to $14,000,000 in the aggregate (less any such
Deficiency Loans for such purpose which may have previously been
voluntarily advanced), and (B) to apply such funds on account of such
Operating Deficits. The Bank shall have no right to cause Deficiency
Loans to be made to pay principal under the Bonds, the Loan Agreement
or hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in the Company Partnership
Agreement to the contrary, neither the Deficiency Loans nor the
operating reserve line item of the Budget may be used for the purpose
of paying principal or interest under the GDB Additional Loan.
4. From and after the date on which Deficiency Loans in the
aggregate amount of $14,000,000 have been made and applied to the payment of
Operating Deficits and until the Coverage Date, if the Bank shall determine in
the reasonable exercise of its judgment that further Operating Deficits (which,
for the purposes of this Paragraph 4, shall not include debt service on the GDB
Loan or any Special Loans (as defined in the Company Partnership
4
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Agreement)) exist with respect to any month, the Bank may require (i) each of
WKA and KGC to make additional loans to the Company in the amount of one-half of
such Operating Deficits, and (ii) the Company to apply such funds on account of
such Operating Deficits; provided, however, that the obligation of each of WKA
and KGC to make such additional loans shall be limited to $3,000,000 in the
aggregate (so that the total amount of such additional loans required to be made
by the Bank shall not exceed $6,000,000 in the aggregate). If the Bank requires
any such loans to be made, the Company hereby irrevocably directs WKA and KGC to
pay the proceeds of such loans at the direction of the Bank for application to
such Operating Deficits. The failure by WKA and/or KGC to make any such
additional loans shall constitute a default under the LC Agreement. The
obligations of WKA under this Paragraph 4 shall be severally guarantied by WMS
Industries, Hugh Andrews and Burton I. Koffman and Richard E. Koffman (the
ADDITIONAL LOAN GUARANTORS) pursuant to guaranties to be executed
contemporaneously herewith. It shall be deemed an Event of Default if (i) any of
the events described in clauses (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) of Section 12(a) of
the LC Agreement shall occur with respect to any of the Additional Loan
Guarantors, and (ii) the Company fails to provide the Bank, within 60 days after
the event in question, with reasonably acceptable collateral or guaranties to
replace the guaranties of the Additional Loan Guarantors with respect to whom
such event occurred.
5. Simultaneously herewith, GDB shall fully advance the GDB
Additional Loan, and WKA and KGC shall deposit the Loan Balance Amount with the
Bank in the following manner: $3,538,705.36, representing amounts previously
expended by the Borrower on account of Total Project Costs, shall be paid to or
at the Borrower's direction; $3,560,966.34, representing the remaining portion
of the Initial Disbursement, shall be disbursed
5
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
in accordance with the Request for Disbursement approved by the Bank; and the
balance of the Loan Balance Amount $16,900,298.30) shall be paid to the Bank by
wire transfer. The Bank shall hold the Loan Balance Amount in an account at the
Bank, which account shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to
the Eurodollar Time Deposit Rate. The Line Item for Contingency shall be
increased by the amount of any interest earned on the Loan Balance Amount. All
such interest shall be added to and become part of the Loan Balance Amount, and,
to the extent not disbursed to pay Project Costs, shall be released to WKA and
KGC upon Substantial Completion of the Project. The Loan Balance Amount may be
commingled with the Bank's general funds. Notwithstanding anything in Section
9(k) of the LC Agreement to the contrary, the Bank is hereby irrevocably
authorized and directed by the Company, WKA and KGC to apply the Loan Balance
Amount to the costs of the first Disbursements for Hard Costs and Soft Costs
approved by the Bank, without regard to the particular Line Item(s) to which
such costs relate, before the Bank shall direct and authorize the Trustee to
disburse proceeds of the Loan to pay such costs. Upon each such application of a
portion of the Loan Balance Amount, a corresponding amount shall be deemed to
have been loaned by WKA and KGC to the Company. Unless and until the Loan
Balance Amount is so applied, the Loan Balance Amount shall constitute
additional security for WKA's and KGC's obligations under their respective
Completion Guaranties and for the Company's performance of its obligations
pursuant to this Agreement (a security interest therein being hereby created).
The parties agree that the first $8,000,000 of the Loan Balance Amount disbursed
by the Bank shall be deemed to be the proceeds of the loan from WKA and KGC to
the Company.
6
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
6. The Bank confirms that the Initial Disbursement is taking
place on the date hereof, notwithstanding that the Initial Disbursement is being
funded with a portion of the Loan Balance Amount rather than with Bond Proceeds.
7. The Company shall agree to promptly recommence construction
of the Project, so that the following construction activities will commence on
or before the dates listed below:
- Begin wall footings for the Cliftop remodeling -- May
30, 1992.
- Begin Elect/Mech. underground for Cliftop new
building -- May 30, 1992.
- Begin mobilization for Convention Center -- May 15,
1992.
- Begin footing excavation for Convention Center -- May

1992.
- Begin footing for Panoramic Elevator at the Hotel
core/casino -- May 30, 1992.
- Begin footing excavation for Harborside -- June 30,
1992.
Failure to comply with the foregoing requirements shall constitute an Event
of Default under the LC Agreement.
8. The Bank confirms that it has approved the execution by the
Company of the Trade Contracts described on Schedule A annexed hereto in the
form presented by the Company to the Bank's Consultant.
9. The following is added to Paragraph 12(a) of the LC
Agreement:
(xxiii) if any Event of Default relating to the Project
shall occur under the
7
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
GDB Loan Agreement or the Additional GDB Loan
Agreement.
10. WKA and KGC agree to use their respective best efforts to
assist the Bank in obtaining participants for the Bank's interest in the LC
Agreement and the Letter of Credit.
Except as amended hereby, the LC Agreement remains in full
force and effect.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts.

Amendment to be duly executed and delivered by their respective duly authorized

Documents on and as of the Effective Date.

the Additional Security Documents, the redemption and payment in full
of the Bonds and the assignments and modifications of the Reimbursement
Agreement and the other L/C Documents effected hereby and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not impair
the security for repayment of the obligations of the Owner under the

rights, remedies and recourse with respect to such security.
(o) Neither the Owner nor any of its partners is a
party to any other agreement, contract or other instrument containing
terms or provisions that are inconsistent or in conflict with any terms

(p) The Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been
duly and properly recorded in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; the Ground Lease permits the interest of
the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the Leasehold Mortgage;
neither the transfer of the Leasehold Mortgage to CRE nor any such
transfer to subsequent assignees requires the consent of the ground
lessor and, to the extent notice of the transfer of the Leasehold
Mortgage to CRE is required to be given to such ground lessor, such
notice has been delivered on or prior to the Effective Date in the form
and manner required by the Ground Lease and applicable law; and, there
has been no change in the terms of the Ground Lease.
(q) The Owner's interest in the Ground Lease is
assignable to CRE without the consent of the lessor thereunder (or, if
any such consent is required, it has been obtained prior to the
Effective Date and delivered to CRE) and, in the event that it is so
assigned, is further assignable by CRE and its successors and assigns
without a need to obtain the consent of such lessor.
(r) The Ground Lease is in full force and effect and
no default has occurred under the Ground Lease, nor is there any
existing condition which, but for the passage of time or the giving of
notice, or both, would result in a default in any material respect
under the terms of the Ground Lease.
(s) The Owner and each of its partners agree to
execute such other modification agreements, supplemental mortgage
documents, security agreements, assignments, financing statements, and
other instruments as CRE, the Authority or Trustee may reasonably

Budget then in effect, any deviation of more than ten (10%)
percent in any item for capital improvements or capital
replacements in the Current Budget then in effect, and any

institutional lenders for properties comparable to the Hotel;
(F) Flood Insurance. Flood insurance in an
amount at least equal to the lesser of (A) the Reimbursement
Amount, or (B) the maximum limit of coverage available for the
Hotel under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, The
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood
Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended; and
(G) Other Insurance. Such other insurance
with respect to the Hotel against loss or damage of the kinds
from time to time customarily insured against and in such
amounts as are generally available at commercially reasonable
premiums and are generally required by institutional lenders
for properties comparable to the Hotel, including, without
limitation, earthquake and hurricane insurance, but in no
event in an amount less than an amount reasonably acceptable
to the Bank.
(ii) All insurance provided for in Section 7(x)(i)
above shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the
INSURANCE POLICIES or in the singular, the INSURANCE POLICY), and shall
be issued by either the insurers who insure the Hotel Improvements on
the Effective Date of the Modification Agreement or one or more other
domestic primary insurer(s) having (A) a claims paying rating ability
of not less than "A" as assigned by one or more credit rating agencies
approved by the Bank and (B) a general policy rating of A or better and
a financial class of VI or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. (each such
insurer shall be referred to below as a QUALIFIED INSURER). All
insurers providing insurance required by this Agreement shall be
authorized to issue insurance in the jurisdiction in which the Hotel is
located. The Insurance Policy referred to in Section 7(x)(i)(B) above
shall name the Bank as an additional named insured and the Insurance
Policy referred to in Sections 7(x)(i)(A), (D), (E), (F) and, if
applicable, (G) above shall provide that all proceeds be payable to the
Bank as set forth in Section 7(aaa) hereof. The Insurance Policies
referred to in Sections 7(x)(i)(A), (E), (F) and, if applicable, (G)
shall also contain: (1) a standard "non-contributory mortgagee"
endorsement or its equivalent relating, inter alia, to recovery by the
Bank notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omission of the
Bank; (2) to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates, a
waiver of subrogation endorsement as to the Bank; and (3) an
endorsement providing for a deductible per loss of an amount not more
than that which is customarily maintained by prudent owners of similar
properties in the general vicinity of the Hotel, but in no event in
34
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
excess of an amount acceptable to the Bank. All Insurance Policies
described in Section 7(x)(i) above shall contain (x) a provision that
such Insurance Policies shall not be cancelled or terminated, nor shall
they expire, without at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to
the Bank in each instance; and (y) include effective waivers by the
insurer of all claims for Insurance Premiums (defined below) against
any loss payees, additional insureds and named insureds (other than the
Company). Certificates of insurance with respect to all renewal and
replacement Insurance Policies shall be delivered to the Bank not less
than ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of any of the Insurance
Policies required to be maintained hereunder which certificates shall
bear notations evidencing payment of applicable premiums (the INSURANCE
PREMIUMS). Originals or certificates of such replacement Insurance
Policies shall be delivered to the Bank promptly after the Company's
receipt thereof but in any case within thirty (30) days after the
effective date thereof. If the Company fails to maintain and deliver to
the Bank the original Insurance Policies or certificates of insurance
required by this Agreement, upon ten (10) days' prior notice to the
Company, the Bank may procure such insurance at the Company's sole cost
and expense.
(iii) The Company shall comply in all material
respects with all insurance requirements and shall not bring or keep or
permit to be brought or kept any article upon any portion of the Hotel
or cause or permit any condition to exist thereon which would be
prohibited by an insurance requirement, or would invalidate the
insurance coverage required hereunder to be maintained by the Company
on or with respect to any part of the Hotel pursuant to this Section
7(x).
(iv) If the Hotel shall be damaged or destroyed, in
whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, the Company shall give
prompt notice of such damage to the Bank and provided that the Bank
shall have received the insurance proceeds, the Company shall promptly
commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and
restoration of the Hotel as nearly as possible to the condition the
Hotel was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with
such alterations as may be approved by the Bank (the Restoration) and
otherwise in accordance with Section 7(aaa) of this Agreement.
(v) The insurance coverage required under Section
7(i)(B) may be satisfied by a layering of Comprehensive General
Liability, Umbrella and Excess Liability Policies, but in no event will
the Comprehensive General Liability policy be written for an amount
less than an amount acceptable to the Bank's combined single limit for
bodily injury and property damage liability."
(h) The Reimbursement Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section
7(gg) in its entirety and substituting the following therefor:
"(gg) Leasing. Except as otherwise consented to by the Bank,
all Leases shall be written on the standard form of lease which has
been approved by the Bank. Upon request, the Company
35
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
shall furnish the Bank with executed copies of all Leases. No material
changes may be made to the Bank-approved standard lease without the
prior written consent of the Bank, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Proposed Leases and renewals of
existing Leases shall not be subject to the prior approval of the Bank
if the renewal is pursuant to the terms of an existing Lease or if the
proposed renewal or new Lease (i) is on the Bank- approved form,
subject only to commercially reasonable variations therefrom, (ii) is
negotiated in an arms'-length transaction with a third party not
affiliated with the Company, (iii) provides for rental rates and terms
comparable to existing local market rates and (iv) is consistent with
the current ordinary course of business at the Hotel. All other
proposed Leases and renewals of existing Leases shall be subject to the
prior approval of the Bank. All Leases shall be subordinate to this
Agreement, the Mortgage and the other L/C Documents. All new Leases
shall provide that they are subordinate to all mortgages on the Hotel,
and that the lessee agrees to attorn to the Bank and any other holder
of such mortgage. The Company (1) shall observe and perform all the
obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases if the failure to
perform or observe the same would materially and adversely affect the
value of the Hotel taken as a whole and shall not do or permit to be
done anything to materially impair the value of the Leases as security
for the indebtedness of the Company hereunder and under the other L/C
Documents; (2) shall promptly send copies to the Bank of all notices of
default which the Company shall send or receive thereunder; (3) shall
enforce in a commercially reasonable manner all of the material terms,
covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the
lessee thereunder to be observed or performed; (4) shall not collect
any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance, (except a security
deposit shall not be deemed rent collected in advance); (5) shall not
execute any other assignment of the lessor's interest in the Leases or
the Rents; (6) shall not (A) materially alter, modify or change the
terms of any of the Leases without the prior written consent of the
Bank, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if
the alteration, modification or change does not materially and
adversely affect the value of the Hotel taken as a whole and provided
further that such Lease, as altered, modified or changed, is otherwise
in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement and the other L/C
Documents; provided, however that no such consent shall be required for
Leases, if after giving effect to such alteration, modification or
change the Lease would not have required the Bank's consent in the
first instance or (B) cancel or terminate any Lease (except for
defaults thereunder), or accept a surrender thereof or convey or
transfer or suffer or permit a conveyance or transfer of any portion of
the Land or of any interest therein so as to effect a merger of the
estates and rights of, or a termination or diminution of the
obligations of, lessees thereunder; (7) shall not alter, modify or
change the terms of any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit
support with respect to the Leases (the Lease Guaranty) or cancel or
terminate such Lease Guaranty without the prior written consent of the
Bank; and (8) shall not consent to any assignment of or subletting
under the Leases not in accordance with their terms, without the prior
written consent of the Bank."
(i) The Reimbursement Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following new Section 7(uu):
36
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
"(uu) Payment of Taxes, Etc. (a) The Company shall pay, or
cause to be paid, by their due date (except as otherwise set forth in
subsection (c) hereof) taking into account all applicable extensions,
all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, governmental
impositions, and other charges, including, without limitation, vault
charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar
areas adjoining the Land, now or hereafter levied or assessed or
imposed against the Hotel or any part thereof (the TAXES), all ground
rents, maintenance charges and similar charges, now or hereafter levied
or assessed or imposed against the Hotel or any part thereof (the OTHER
CHARGES), and all charges for utility services provided to the Hotel as
same become due and payable. The Company will deliver to the Bank,
promptly upon the Bank's request, evidence satisfactory to the Bank
that the Taxes, Other Charges and utility service charges have been so
paid or are not then delinquent. The Company shall not suffer and shall
promptly cause to be paid and discharged any lien or charge whatsoever
which may be or become a lien or charge against the Hotel or any
portion thereof. Except to the extent sums sufficient to pay all Taxes
and Other Charges have been deposited with the Bank in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement or any of the other L/C Documents, Borrower
shall furnish to the Bank paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes
and Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent.
(b) After prior written notice to the Bank, the Company, at
its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly
initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the
amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any of the
Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing under this Agreement or any of the other L/C
Documents, (ii) the Company is permitted to do so under the provisions
of any other mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt affecting
the Hotel, (iii) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such
Taxes and Other Charges from the Company and from the Hotel or the
Company shall have paid all of the Taxes and Other Charges under
protest (if required to do so under applicable law), (iv) such
proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with
the provisions of any other instrument to which the Company is subject
and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (v) neither the Hotel
nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being
sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost, (vi) the Company shall
have set aside adequate reserves for the payment of the Taxes and other
Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon, unless the
Company has paid all of the Taxes and Other Charges under protest, and
(vii) if the Company has not paid the contested Taxes and Other Charges
under protest, the Company shall have furnished the security as may be
required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by the
Bank to insure the payment of any contested Taxes and Other Charges,
together with all interest and penalties thereon, taking into
consideration the amount in any escrow fund being held by the Bank and
available for the payment of Taxes and Other Charges.
(c) On August 3, 1998, the Company shall deposit with the Bank
the sum of $3,245,137 with respect to the Taxes accruing prior to such
date. In addition to the foregoing, in the event that any contested
Taxes with respect to the Hotel or any portion thereof have not been
paid in full
37
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
on or prior to September 30, 1998, the Company shall deposit with the
Bank, on October 1, 1998, an additional amount equal to the difference
between $3,245,137 and the full amount of all such contested Taxes as
estimated by the Bank. Further, upon request of the Bank, the Company
shall deposit with the Bank, monthly, on the first Business Day of each
month, one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual Taxes relating to the Hotel
or any portion thereof. On the third Business Day following such
request from the Bank, the Company shall deposit with the Bank a sum of
money which together with the monthly installments will be sufficient
to make each of such payments thirty (30) days prior to the date any
delinquency or penalty becomes due with respect to such payments.
Deposits shall be made on the basis of the Bank's estimate from time to
time of the Taxes for the current year (after giving effect to any
reassessment or, at the Bank's election, on the basis of the Taxes for
the prior year, with adjustments when the Taxes are fixed for the then
current year). All funds so deposited shall be held by the Bank, in an
interest bearing account. The Company hereby grants to the Bank a
security interest in all funds so deposited with the Bank for the
purpose of securing the obligations of the Company hereunder and under
the other L/C Documents. While an Event of Default exists, the funds
deposited may be applied in payment of the charges for which such funds
have been deposited, or to the payment of the obligations of the
Company to the Bank or any other charges affecting the security of the
Bank, as the Bank may elect, but no such application shall be deemed to
have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by
the Bank. The Company shall furnish the Bank with bills for the Taxes
for which such deposits are required at least thirty (30) days prior to
the date on which the Taxes first become payable, or if the Company has
not received the bills for the Taxes by such date, then the Company
shall furnish such Tax bills to the Bank within two Business Days of
the Company's receipt of such bill. If at any time the amount on
deposit with the Bank, together with amounts to be deposited by the
Company before such Taxes are payable, is insufficient to pay such
Taxes, the Company shall deposit any deficiency with Bank immediately
upon demand. The Bank shall apply the moneys so deposited to the
payment of such Taxes when the amount on deposit with the Bank is
sufficient to pay such Taxes and the Bank has received a bill for such
Taxes."
(j) The Reimbursement Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following new Section 7(vv):
"(vv) Maintenance of Property. The Company shall cause the
Hotel to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair. Neither
the Hotel Improvements nor the Hotel Personalty nor any portion thereof
shall be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for normal
replacement of the Hotel Personalty) without the prior written consent
of the Bank either on a case by case basis or in connection with the
Bank's approval of the Current Budget to the extent that such Current
Budget specifically and expressly describes the nature and extent of
the proposed removal, demolition or alteration of a specified item. The
Company shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Hotel
which may be destroyed by any casualty, or become damaged, worn or
dilapidated or which may be affected by any condemnation or other
similar proceeding and shall complete and pay for any structure at any
38
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
time in the process of construction or repair on the Land. The Company
shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any change in
any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private
restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the
Hotel or any part thereof. If under applicable zoning provisions the
use of all or any portion of the Hotel is or shall become a
nonconforming use, the Company will not cause or permit the
nonconforming use or Hotel Improvement to be discontinued or abandoned
without the express written consent of the Bank."
(k) The Reimbursement Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following new Section 7(ww):

performed by the Company pursuant to the terms of any agreement or
recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Hotel."

control and management of the Hotel without the prior written consent
of the Bank. The Company shall not terminate or replace Williams or any
other manager hereafter approved by the Bank (collectively, the
MANAGER) or appoint a new Manager for all or any portion of the Hotel
or with respect to any operation within the Hotel or terminate or amend
the Management Agreement for the Hotel without the Bank's prior written
approval. Any change in ownership or control of Williams or any other
Manager shall be cause to require the re-approval of such Manager and
Management Agreement by the Bank. The Manager shall hold and maintain
all necessary licenses, certifications and permits required by law for
the use, occupancy, management and operation of the Hotel and each
component thereof. The Company shall fully perform all of its material
covenants, agreements and obligations under the Management Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank shall deem either Wyndham
International, Inc. or Wyndham International Operating Partnership,
Inc. acceptable as a replacement Manager provided that the terms of any
new management agreement are acceptable to Bank and such replacement
Manager executes such documents and agreements in favor of the Bank as
the Bank shall request in substantially the same substance as those
documents executed by the prior Manager in favor of the Bank."

(n) The Reimbursement Agreement is hereby amended by adding the

"(zz) Affiliate Transactions. Without the prior written
consent of the Bank, the Company shall not engage in any transaction

and is otherwise expressly permitted hereunder."

the Company's Restoration of the Hotel provided (A) no Event
of Default or Default exists, and (B) the Company promptly
commences and is diligently pursuing Restoration of the Hotel;
(ii) if the loss exceeds $25,000,000 but is
not more than 25% of the replacement value of the Hotel
Improvements (for projects containing multiple phases or stand
alone structures, such calculation to be based on the damaged
phase or structure, not the project as a whole), the Bank
shall apply the insurance proceeds to the Company's
Restoration of the Hotel provided that at all times during
such Restoration (A) no Event of Default or Default exists;
(B) the Bank determines that there are sufficient funds
available to restore and repair the Hotel to a condition
approved by the Bank; (C) the Bank determines that the net
operating income of the Hotel during Restoration will be

(3) months after the date of loss or casualty and in any event
at least thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date; and (E)
the Company promptly commences and is diligently pursuing
Restoration of the Hotel;
(iii) if the conditions set forth above are
not satisfied or the loss exceeds the amount and percentage

discretion, the Bank may apply any insurance proceeds it
receives to the repayment of the Reimbursement Amount or any
other amount outstanding hereunder or under any of the other

lending practices for construction loan advances, including,
without limitation, the General Disbursement Conditions."
(p) The Reimbursement Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following new Section 7(bbb):
"(bbb) Condemnation. The Company shall promptly give the Bank
notice of the actual or, threatened commencement of any condemnation or
eminent domain proceeding and shall deliver to the Bank copies of any
and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. The Bank may
participate in any such proceedings to the extent permitted by law.
Upon an Event of Default, the Company shall deliver to the Bank all
instruments requested by it to permit such participation. The Company
shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and
shall consult with the Bank, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate
with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings.
Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority
through eminent domain or otherwise (including, but not limited to any
transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such
taking), the Company shall continue to pay the Reimbursement Amount and
all other indebtedness outstanding hereunder at the time and in the
manner provided for its payment hereunder and such indebtedness shall
not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been
actually received and applied by the Bank, after the deduction of
expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the

the interest paid on the award by the condemning authority but shall be
entitled to receive out of the award interest at the rate or rates
provided herein. If the Hotel or any portion thereof is taken by the
power of eminent domain, the Company shall promptly commence and
diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Hotel in accordance with
the provisions respecting Restoration of the Hotel following a casualty
and receipt by the Company of insurance proceeds as provided in Section
7(aaa) of hereof and the Bank shall make the proceeds available for
Restoration as provided in said Section 7(aaa). If the Hotel is sold,
through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by the Bank of
the award or payment, the Bank shall have the right, whether or not a
deficiency judgment shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to
receive the award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay
the indebtedness outstanding hereunder and under the other L/C
Documents."

(r) The Reimbursement Agreement is hereby amended to provide that, in
addition to all of the other Events of Default as defined in the Reimbursement

documents, instruments or agreements in connection with the transactions

(e) Judicial Interpretation. Should any provision of
this Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement, the L/C Documents or any of the
Additional Security Documents require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that

against the party who itself or through its agent prepared the same, it being
agreed that all parties hereto have participated in the preparation of this
Agreement.

upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns.

understandings among the parties hereto.
(k) Usury Laws. This Agreement, the Additional
Security Documents, the Reimbursement Agreement and the L/C Documents as
assigned and amended hereby are subject to the express condition that at no time
shall Owner be obligated or required to pay interest on the Reimbursement Amount
or any portion thereof or any other charges or amounts at a rate which could
subject CRE or any other the holder of the Additional Security Documents, the
Reimbursement Agreement or any of the other L/C Documents as assigned and
amended hereby to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in
excess of the maximum interest rate which Owner is permitted by applicable law
to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of the Additional Security
Documents, this Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement or any of the other L/C
Documents as assigned and amended hereby, Owner is at any time required or
obligated to pay interest on the indebtedness evidenced thereby, or any portion
thereof or any other charges or amounts at a rate in excess of such maximum
rate, the rate of interest and other charges or amounts under the terms of the
Additional Security Documents, this Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement or
any of the other L/C Documents as assigned and amended hereby shall be deemed to
be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be
computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such
maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in
reduction of the principal balance of the Reimbursement Amount. All sums paid or
agreed to be paid to CRE for the use, forbearance, or detention of the
indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement, the Additional Security Documents, the
Reimbursement Agreement and the other L/C Documents as assigned and amended
hereby shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term until payment in full so
that the rate or amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not
exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest from time to time in effect and
applicable to such debt for so long as such debt is outstanding.

REPLACEMENT RESERVE AGREEMENT
THIS REPLACEMENT RESERVE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of the 3rd
day of August, 1998, by and between EL CONQUISTADOR PARTNERSHIP L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership, having an address at 1000 El Conquistador Avenue, Las
Croabas, Fajardo, Puerto Rico 00738 ("Borrower") and CITICORP REAL ESTATE, INC.,
a Delaware corporation, having an address at 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, New
York 10043 ("Lender").
RECITALS:
A. Lender is the owner and holder of certain reimbursement obligations
in the principal amount of $90,000,000 (collectively, the "Reimbursement
Obligations") which are outstanding pursuant to a Letter of Credit and
Reimbursement Agreement, dated as of February 7, 1991, by and between The Bank
of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. (f/k/a The Mitsubishi Bank, Limited) ("Mitsubishi")
and the Borrower (as heretofore amended and as amended on the date hereof by the
Modification Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the "Reimbursement Agreement").
B. The Reimbursement Obligations are secured, in part, by certain
Collateral Pledge Agreements more particularly described in the Reimbursement
Agreement (collectively, the "Security Instruments") and by certain other notes,
deeds of mortgage, assignments, guaranties and other documents and instruments
executed in connection with the Reimbursement Agreement (including the
Modification Agreement) or otherwise with respect to the Reimbursement
Obligations (collectively, the "Other Security Documents").
C. At the request of Borrower and pursuant to the terms of that
certain Assignment and Modification Agreement, dated as of even date herewith,
by and among the Lender, the Borrower, Mitsubishi and certain other parties (the
"Modification Agreement"), the term for payment of the Reimbursement Obligations
is being extended and certain terms and provisions of the Reimbursement
Agreement, the Security Instruments and the Other Security Documents, among
other things, are being amended and modified at the request of the Borrower (the
Reimbursement Agreement, the Security Instruments, the Other Security Documents
and each of the other documents evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to
the Reimbursement Obligations or any of the foregoing documents are hereinafter
sometimes collectively referred to as the "Loan Documents").
D. Lender requires as a condition to its entering into the
Modification Agreement and modifying the Reimbursement Obligations that Borrower
enter into this Agreement and make certain deposits with Lender as provided in
this Agreement as additional security for all of Borrower's obligations under
the Reimbursement Agreement, the Security Instruments and the other Loan
Documents.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
AGREEMENT:
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. DEPOSITS TO THE REPLACEMENT RESERVE
(a) Initial Deposit. Concurrently with the execution of this
Agreement, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the sum of $702,476 (the
"Initial Deposit"; the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit (as
hereinafter defined) are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as
the "Replacement Reserve Fund").
(b) Replacement Reserve. Upon receipt of the Initial Deposit and the
Additional Deposit, Lender shall deposit the same, as received, in an
interest-bearing escrow account (the "Replacement Reserve"). Borrower
hereby acknowledges and confirms that (i) the Replacement Reserve Fund
shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies
held by Lender; (ii) Lender or its designee shall have the sole right to
make withdrawals from the Replacement Reserve; and (iii) Lender shall have
no responsibility or liability for the amount of interest earned on the
Replacement Reserve. All interest earned from investment of the funds
deposited in the Replacement Reserve shall be credited to the Replacement
Reserve. Borrower shall include and report such interest in its income for
Federal, state, commonwealth and local income and franchise tax purposes.
(c) Additional Deposit. In the event Borrower requests an extension of
the term for payment of the Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to the
provisions of the Reimbursement Agreement, as modified by the Modification
Agreement, then on or prior to the Initial Maturity Date, Borrower shall
cause to be deposited with Lender, for further deposit by Lender into the
Replacement Reserve, an amount to be held in the Replacement Reserve
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the "Additional Deposit") equal to
the difference between (1) $1,053,714 and (2) the amount then on deposit in
the Replacement Reserve, so that on the Initial Maturity Date, the balance
in the Replacement Reserve is not less than $1,053,714.
Section 2. PLEDGE OF REPLACEMENT RESERVE
As additional security for the payment of all sums due under the
Reimbursement Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the performance by
Borrower of its obligations thereunder, Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and
grants to Lender a continuing perfected security interest (to the extent Lender
maintains possession of same), in and to and a first lien upon, the Replacement
Reserve Fund and the Replacement Reserve; provided that, Lender shall make
disbursements from the Replacement Reserve in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Section 3. DISBURSEMENTS FROM REPLACEMENT RESERVE
(a) Disbursements for Replacements Only. Lender shall make
disbursements from the Replacement Reserve only to pay for the cost of capital
repairs, replacements and improvements at the Hotel which have been approved by
Lender in writing or by virtue of Lender's approval of the Annual Budget for the
Hotel and which are made after the date hereof in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Reimbursement Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(collectively, the "Replacements") in the manner provided in this Section 3.
Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the
requirements set forth in this Section 3 and Section 4 of this Agreement,
disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve necessary to pay for
the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor,
upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of
Replacements made pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof) as reasonably determined by
Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the
Replacement Reserve if a Default or an Event of Default exists.
(b) Request for Disbursement. Each request for disbursement from the
Replacement Reserve shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall
specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested,
(ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes
the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials
(grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or
replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or
other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for
disbursement is made. With each such request, Borrower shall certify that all
Replacements have been made in accordance with applicable laws. Each request for
disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials
purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and each request shall
include evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of all such amounts. Except
as provided in Section 3(d) hereof, each request for disbursement from the
Replacement Reserve shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for
which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of
completion satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(c) Disbursement Conditions. Borrower shall be entitled to request
disbursements from the Replacement Reserve to pay directly or to reimburse
Borrower for expenditures made in connection with the Replacements with respect
to which a disbursement is requested. Lender, at its option, may disburse the
amount for such invoices directly to the vendors; provided, however, that if
such invoices do not exceed $10,000, Lender shall disburse the amount for such
invoices directly to Borrower and Borrower covenants and agrees to promptly pay
such invoices. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may
require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor,
3
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an
amount equal to or greater than $10,000 for completion of its work or delivery
of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the
requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials
supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Hotel by that contractor,
supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the
current reimbursement request.
(d) Partial Completion. If (i) the time required to complete a
Replacement exceeds three months, (ii) the contractor performing such
Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to the terms of a written
contract, (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic
payments, and (iv) the cost of the portion of the work completed under such
contract exceeds $10,000, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement
Reserve may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such
contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such
portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site
at the Hotel and are properly secured or have been installed in the Hotel, (C)
all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D)
funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve are, in Lender's reasonable judgment,
sufficient to complete the portion of such Replacements to be completed during
the term of this Agreement, and (E) each contractor or subcontractor receiving
payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to
amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(e) Number of Requests. Borrower shall not make a request for
disbursement from the Replacement Reserve more frequently than once in any
calendar month and, except in connection with the final disbursement, the total
cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $10,000.
Section 4. PERFORMANCE OF REPLACEMENTS.
(a) Workmanlike Completion. Borrower shall make Replacements when
required in order to keep the Hotel in good order and repair and in good
marketable condition, and to keep the Hotel or any portion thereof from
deteriorating in any material respects. Borrower shall complete all Replacements
in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the
commencement of making each such Replacement.
(b) Contracts. Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve
all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers,
subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in
connection with the Replacements which requires a payment in the aggregate of
greater than $75,000. Lender's consent to any such item shall not be
unreasonably withheld. If Borrower shall submit a written request for approval
and such request shall state on the face thereof in capital letters the Legend
(defined below), then Lender's failure to respond to such request within ten
(10) days following
4
<PAGE>

Lender's actual receipt thereof shall be deemed an approval of the matter
requested therein. The "Legend" shall mean the following: LENDER'S FAILURE TO
RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS FOLLOWING LENDER'S ACTUAL RECEIPT
HEREOF SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE AN APPROVAL OF THE MATTERS SET FORTH HEREIN. Upon
Lender's request, Borrower shall assign its rights under any contract or
subcontract to Lender.
(c) Lender's Right to Complete Replacements. In the event Lender
determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being
performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been
completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, and Borrower does not cure such
matter within the time periods provided in Section 5(a) below, Lender shall have
the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to
proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete
such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and
materials necessary to complete such Replacement, and to exercise any and all
other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default.
(d) Entry onto Property. In order to facilitate Lender's completion or
making of the Replacements pursuant to Section 4(c) above, Borrower grants
Lender the right to enter onto the Hotel following an uncured default hereunder
and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make the
Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Hotel from damage. Borrower
shall have the right to have Borrower's representative accompany Lender and its
representatives in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, however, that
the failure of Borrower's representative to accompany Lender or Lender's
representatives shall not negate or diminish Lender's rights set forth in the
preceding sentence. All sums so expended by Lender (other than from the
Replacement Reserve) shall be deemed to have been advanced to Borrower under the
Reimbursement Agreement to Borrower and secured by the Loan Documents. For this
purpose, Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the
Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to
be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked except upon the
termination of this Agreement. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as
follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve for the purpose of
making or completing the Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and
corrections to the Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete
the Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents,
architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay,
settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become liens
against the Hotel, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the
Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and
certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the
contract documents relating to the Replacements; (vi) in its reasonable
discretion, to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection
with the
5
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Replacements or any matters related thereto and (vii) to do any and every act
which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this
Agreement.
(e) No Obligation of Lender. Nothing in this Section 4 shall: (i) make
Lender responsible for making or completing the Replacements; (ii) require
Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or
complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the
Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to
make or complete any Replacement.
(f) Inspections.
(i) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender's agents and
representatives (including, without limitation, Lender's engineer, architect or
inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 4 to
enter onto the Hotel during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to
Borrower and (subject to the rights of any guests or tenants of the Hotel, if
any, under their respective leases or concession agreements) to inspect the
progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection
therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements
which are or may be kept at the Hotel, and to complete any Replacements made
pursuant to this Section 4. Borrower shall have the right to have Borrower's
representative accompany Lender or its representatives in connection with any of
the foregoing, provided, however, that the failure of Borrower's representative
to accompany Lender or Lender's representatives shall not negate or diminish
Lender's rights set forth in the preceding sentence. Borrower shall use its best
efforts to cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or
Lender's representatives or such other persons described above in connection
with inspections described in this Section 4(f) or the completion of
Replacements pursuant to this Section 4.
(ii) Lender may require an inspection of the Hotel at Borrower's
expense prior to making a disbursement from the Replacement Reserve in order to
verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender
may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent
qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a
certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional reasonably
acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the
Replacement Reserve. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as
required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an
independent qualified professional.
(g) Lien-Free Completion.
(i) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or
any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed,
installed or
6
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic's, materialman's or
other Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).
(ii) Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search
of title to the Hotel effective to the date of the disbursement, which search
shows that no mechanic's or materialmen's liens or other liens of any nature
have been placed against the Hotel or any portion thereof since the date of
recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the Hotel is free and clear of all
Liens (other than the lien of the Mortgage and any other Permitted
Encumbrances).
(h) Compliance with Laws. All Replacements shall comply with all Legal
Requirements and applicable insurance requirements, including, without
limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental
regulations and requirements of insurance underwriters.
(i) Insurance Requirements. In addition to any insurance required
under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided
workmen's compensation insurance, builder's risk, and public liability insurance
and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection
with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount
reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with
standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be
so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.
Section 5. DEFAULT.
(a) Default Under this Agreement. Borrower shall be in default under
this Agreement if (A) it fails to make any Additional Deposit or other payment
required hereunder when due, or (B) it fails to comply with any provision of
this Agreement and such failure is not cured within ten (10) calendar days after
notice from Lender. Borrower understands that a default under this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a default under the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement,
the Modification Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and that in addition to
the remedies specified in this Agreement, Lender shall be able to exercise all
of its rights and remedies under the Reimbursement Agreement, the Modification
Agreement, and the other Loan Documents upon a default. If a default occurs
under the Reimbursement Agreement, the Modification Agreement, or any of the
other Loan Documents, such event shall be deemed a default hereunder and Lender
may at its option hold and apply the funds in the Replacement Reserve as
provided in Section 5(b) hereof.
(b) Application of Replacement Reserve Upon Default. The funds held in
the Replacement Reserve are pledged as additional security for the Reimbursement
Obligations and all other indebtedness and other obligations of Borrower under
the
7
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Reimbursement Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents (the
"Obligations"). If Borrower defaults on any payment due under the Reimbursement
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or if Borrower defaults under any
other provision in the Reimbursement Agreement, the Modification Agreement or
under any provision in the Security Instruments, any of the other Loan Documents
or this Agreement, then, upon any such default, Borrower shall not be entitled
to receive any funds from the Replacement Reserve and Lender may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion
thereof) for any purpose permitted under the Loan Documents, including, but not
limited to (i) completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 4 hereof,
(ii) for any other repair or replacement to the Hotel, (iii) toward payment of
the Obligations; provided, however, that such application of funds shall not
cure or be deemed to cure any default; (iv) reimbursement of Lender for all
losses and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees)
suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such default; (v) payment of any
amount expended in exercising all rights and remedies available to Lender at law
or in equity or under this Agreement or under the Reimbursement Agreement, the
Security Instruments or any of the other Loan Documents, all in such order,
proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender's
right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Fund shall be in addition to
all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement, the
Reimbursement Agreement, the Modification Agreement, the other Loan Documents,
and at law or in equity.
(c) Insufficient Funds in the Replacement Reserve. The insufficiency
of any balance in the Replacement Reserve shall not relieve Borrower from its
obligations in the Reimbursement Agreement, the other Loan Documents and this
Agreement.
Section 6. WAIVERS
(a) Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert
a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action

connected with this Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement, the Modification
Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the Obligations.

AGREEMENT:
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Deposits to the Debt Service Reserve.
(a) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Borrower shall
deposit with Lender the sum of $1,800,000 (the "Initial Deposit"; the Initial
Deposit and the Additional Deposit (as hereinafter defined) are hereinafter
sometimes collectively referred to as the "Debt Service Reserve Fund").
(b) Upon receipt of the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit,
Lender shall deposit the same, as received, in an interest-bearing escrow
account (the "Debt Service Reserve"). Borrower hereby acknowledges and confirms
that (i) the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may
be commingled with other monies held by Lender; (ii) Lender or its designee
shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Debt Service Reserve; and
(iii) Lender shall have no responsibility or liability for the amount of
interest earned on the Debt Service Reserve. All interest earned from investment
of the funds deposited in the Debt Service Reserve shall be credited to the Debt
Service Reserve. Borrower shall include and report such interest in its income
for Federal, state, commonwealth and local income and franchise tax purposes.
(c) In the event Borrower requests an extension of the term for
payment of the Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to the provisions of the
Reimbursement Agreement, as modified by the Modification Agreement, then (i) on
or prior to the date on which Borrower delivers notice of such extension to
Lender, Borrower shall cause to be deposited with Lender, for further deposit by

Reserve pursuant to the terms of this Agreement equal to $1,800,000 (the "First
Additional Deposit") and (ii) on or prior to December 1, 1998, Borrower shall
cause to be deposited with Lender, for further deposit by Lender into the Debt

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
2. Pledge of Debt Service Reserve.
As additional security for the payment of all sums due under the
Reimbursement Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the performance by
Borrower of its obligations thereunder, Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and
grants to Lender a continuing perfected security interest (to the extent Lender
maintains possession of same) in and to and a first lien upon, the Debt Service
Reserve Fund and the Debt Service Reserve; provided that, Lender shall make
disbursements from the Debt Service Reserve in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
3. Disbursements from Debt Service Reserve.
On the first day of each month during the term of the Reimbursement
Agreement or on the Maturity Date, Lender shall, at Borrower's written request,
apply sums then present in the Debt Service Reserve towards the payment of
interest on the Reimbursement Amount (as such term is defined in the
Modification Agreement) in the amount specified by Borrower in Borrower's
request, provided however that Lender has no obligation to apply, and Borrower
has no right to receive, any amount in excess of the balance of Debt Service
Reserve on the date of such request, and provided further that Borrower may
request the application of funds in the Debt Service Reserve no more than one
(1) time during any calendar month; provided, that, Borrower may also request
that funds in the Debt Service Reserve be applied to the outstanding
Reimbursement Obligations on the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that the funds in the Debt Service Reserve are insufficient to make
such payment, Borrower shall not be relieved of its obligations under the
Reimbursement Agreement to make such payments.

this Agreement if (i) it fails to make the Additional Deposit or other payment
required hereunder when due or (ii) it fails to comply with any provision of
this Agreement and such failure is not cured within ten (10) calendar days after
notice from Lender. Borrower understands that a default under this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a default under the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement,
the Modification Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and that in addition to
the remedies specified in this Agreement, Lender shall be able to exercise all
of its rights and remedies under the Reimbursement Agreement, the Modification
Agreement, and the other Loan Documents upon a default. If a default occurs
under the Reimbursement Agreement, the Modification Agreement, or any of the
other Loan Documents, such event shall be deemed a default hereunder and Lender

or any of the other Loan Documents, except to the extent that payments required
under the Reimbursement Agreement or the other Loan Documents are actually made

Reserve, the Debt Service Reserve Fund, this Agreement, the Reimbursement

against Lender any right that Borrower may have under this Agreement.

AGREEMENT:
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. Deposits to the Debt Service Reserve.
(a) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement,
Borrower shall deposit with Lender the sum of $568,664 (the "Initial Deposit";
the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit (as hereinafter defined) are
hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the "Debt Service Reserve
Fund").
(b) Upon receipt of the Initial Deposit and the Additional
Deposit, Lender shall deposit the same, as received, in an interest-bearing
escrow account (the "Debt Service Reserve"). Borrower hereby acknowledges and
confirms that (i) the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall not constitute a trust
fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender; (ii) Lender or its
designee shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Debt Service
Reserve; and (iii) Lender shall have no responsibility or liability for the
amount of interest earned on the Debt Service Reserve. All interest earned from
investment of the funds deposited in the Debt Service Reserve shall be credited
to the Debt Service Reserve. Borrower shall include and report such interest in
its income for Federal, state, commonwealth and local income and franchise tax
purposes.
(c) In the event Borrower requests an extension of the term
for payment of the Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to the provisions of the
Reimbursement Agreement, as modified by the Modification Agreement, then on or
prior to the date on which Borrower delivers notice of such extension to Lender,
Borrower shall cause to be deposited with Lender, for further deposit by Lender
into the Debt Service Reserve, an amount to be held in the Debt Service Reserve
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement equal to $568,664 (the "Additional
Deposit").
2. Pledge of Debt Service Reserve.
As additional security for the payment of all sums due under
the Reimbursement Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the performance by
Borrower of its obligations thereunder, Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and
grants to Lender a continuing perfected security interest (to the extent Lender
maintains possession of same) in and to and a first lien upon, the Debt Service
Reserve Fund and the Debt Service Reserve; provided that, Lender shall make
disbursements from the Debt Service Reserve in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

due and payable to GDB pursuant to the terms of the GDB Loan Agreement, Lender
shall, at Borrower's written request, disburse
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
sums then present in the Debt Service Reserve to Borrower for the payment of
interest due on the GDB Loan in the amount specified by Borrower in Borrower's
request, provided however that Lender has no obligation to apply, and Borrower
has no right to receive, any amount in excess of the balance of Debt Service
Reserve on the date of such request, and provided further that Borrower may
request the application of funds in the Debt Service Reserve no more than one
(1) time during any calendar month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that the funds in the Debt Service Reserve are insufficient to make such
payment, Borrower shall not be relieved of its obligations under the
Reimbursement Agreement to make such payments.
4. Default.
4.1 Default Under this Agreement. Borrower shall be in default
under this Agreement if (i) it fails to make any Additional Deposit or other
payment required hereunder when due or (ii) it fails to comply with any
provision of this Agreement and such failure is not cured within ten (10)
calendar days after notice from Lender. Borrower understands that a default
under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a default under the terms of the
Reimbursement Agreement, the Modification Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and that in addition to the remedies specified in this Agreement,
Lender shall be able to exercise all of its rights and remedies under the
Reimbursement Agreement, the Modification Agreement, and the other Loan
Documents upon a default. If a default occurs under the Reimbursement Agreement,
the Modification Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, such event shall
be deemed a default hereunder and Lender may at its option hold and apply the
funds in the Debt Service Reserve as provided in Section 4.2 of this Agreement.
4.2 Application of Debt Service Reserve Upon Default. The
funds held in the Debt Service Reserve are pledged as additional security for
the Reimbursement Obligations and all other indebtedness and other obligations
of the Borrower under the Reimbursement Agreement and each of the other Loan
Documents (the "Obligations"). If Borrower defaults on any payment due under the
Reimbursement Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or if Borrower
defaults under any other provision in the Reimbursement Agreement, the
Modification Agreement or under any provision in the Security Instruments, any
of the other Loan Documents or this Agreement, then, upon any such default,
Borrower shall not be entitled to receive any funds from the Debt Service
Reserve and Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, use the Debt
Service Reserve (or any portion thereof) for any purpose permitted under the
Loan Documents, including, but not limited to (i) toward payment of the
Obligations; provided, however, that such application of funds shall not cure or
be deemed to cure any default; (ii) reimbursement of Lender for all losses and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) suffered or
incurred by Lender as a result of such default; and/or (iii) payment of any
amount expended in exercising all rights and remedies available to Lender at law
or in equity or under this Agreement or under the Reimbursement Agreement, the
Security Instruments or any of the other Loan Documents, all in such order,
proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender's
right to withdraw and apply the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall be in addition
to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement, the
Reimbursement Agreement, the Modification Agreement, the other Loan Documents,
and at law or in equity.
<PAGE>

Agreement shall in any manner whatsoever alter, impair or affect the obligations
of Borrower, or relieve Borrower of any of its obligations to make payments and
perform all of its other obligations required under the Reimbursement Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, except to the extent that payments required
under the Reimbursement Agreement or the other Loan Documents are actually made
pursuant to this Agreement.
5. Insufficient Funds in the Debt Service Reserve. The
insufficiency of any balance in the Debt Service Reserve shall not relieve
Borrower from its obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and this Agreement.
6. Remedies Cumulative. None of the rights and remedies herein
conferred upon or reserved to Lender under this Agreement is intended to be
exclusive of any other rights or remedies conferred upon or reserved to Lender
under this Agreement or under the Reimbursement Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents or available to Lender at law or in equity, and each and every
right or remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be enforced
separately, successively or together, and may be exercised from time to time as
often as may be deemed necessary by Lender.
7. Enforcement of Agreement. This Agreement is executed by
Borrower and Lender for the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.

hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims,
demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses
(including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) arising
from or in any way connected with the holding, investing or disbursing of the
Debt Service Reserve or the Debt Service Reserve Fund except for actions, suits,
claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and
expenses caused by the gross negligence of Lender.
9. No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is intended
solely for the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors
and assigns, and no third party shall have any rights or interest in the Debt
Service Reserve, the Debt Service Reserve Fund, this Agreement, the
Reimbursement Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Nothing contained in

of Lender to any third party, nor shall any third party have a right to enforce
against Lender any right that Borrower may have under this Agreement.
10. No Agency or Partnership. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall constitute Lender as a joint venturer, partner or agent of
Borrower, or render Lender liable for any debts, obligations, acts, omissions,
representations, or contracts of Borrower.

collateral securing the Reimbursement Obligations until the Reimbursement
Obligations shall have been paid in full.
17. Indemnitor shall take any and all reasonable actions, including
institution of legal action against third-parties, necessary or appropriate to
obtain reimbursement, payment or compensation from such persons responsible for

<PAGE>
ARTICLE 8 - RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
Section 8.1 Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and
at any time thereafter, Debtor agrees that Secured Party may declare the
Obligations in whole or in part immediately due and payable and may enforce
payment of the same and take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems
advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Debtor and in and to the
Collateral, including, but not limited to the following, each of which may be
pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Secured
Party may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise
affecting the other rights and remedies of Secured Party:
(i) exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured
party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, as amended from time to
time, or any other applicable uniform commercial code, or any other statute or
rule of law or equity or under the provisions of any third party agreement in
favor of the Secured Party, all of which may be exercised successively or
concurrently, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i)
the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take
such other measures as Secured Party may deem necessary for the care, protection
and preservation of the Collateral, and (ii) request Borrower at its expense to
assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a convenient
place in San Juan (and which may be at the Hotel) acceptable to Secured Party;
further, Secured Party may sell, assign, give option or options to purchase,
contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral, or any part
thereof, in one or more lots at public or private sale or sales, at any
exchange, broker's board or at any of the Secured Party's offices or elsewhere
upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it
may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption
of any credit risk, with the right to the Secured Party upon any such sale or
sales, public or private, to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral
so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Debtor, which right or
equity is, to the extent permitted by law, hereby expressly waived or released.
Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Secured Party with
respect to the Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions
hereof at least five (5) days prior to such action, shall constitute
commercially reasonable notice to Borrower; and
(ii) exercise all other rights and remedies of Secured Party under
this Agreement and all other rights and remedies available to the Secured Party
under applicable law.
(b) Secured Party will give Debtor reasonable notice of the time and place
of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale
or other
15
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
intended disposition thereof is to be made. Expenses of retaking, holding,
preparing for sale, selling, leasing or the like shall include Secured Party's
reasonable attorney's fees and legal expenses. Secured Party shall be entitled
to immediate possession of all books and records pertaining to any accounts or
chattel paper covered by this Agreement and shall have the authority to enter
upon any premises upon which any of the same may be situated and remove the same
therefrom without liability. If, in the opinion of Secured Party, there is any
question that a public sale or distribution of any Collateral will violate any
state, commonwealth or federal securities law, Secured Party in its discretion
(i) may offer and sell securities privately to purchasers who will agree to take
them for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution and who will
agree to the imposition of restrictive legends on the certificates representing
the security, or (b) may sell such securities in an intrusted offering under
Section 3(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, and no sale so made in good
faith by Secured Party shall be deemed to be not "commercially reasonable"
because so made. The Debtor acknowledges and agrees that any private sale of the
Collateral may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale
were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, that any such private sale shall be deemed
to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. To the extent permitted
by the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, in the event of a sale, by
foreclosure, power of sale, or otherwise, of less than all of the Collateral,
this Agreement shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining
portion of the Collateral unimpaired and without loss of priority.
Section 8.2 Application of Proceeds. After deducting all reasonable costs
and expenses of every kind incurred by Secured Party or incidental to the care,
safekeeping or otherwise of any and all of the Collateral, the purchase money,
proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof,
or any other sums collected by Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement or the
Security Instruments, may be applied by Secured Party to the payment of the Debt
in such priority and proportions as Secured Party in its discretion shall deem
proper. Only after credit against the Obligations and after the payment by the
Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of law, including,
without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code, need the Secured Party account
for the surplus, if any, to the Debtor.
Section 8.3 Waiver of Rights Under Uniform Commercial Code; Deficiency. The
Debtor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any rights or privileges that it
may acquire under the Uniform Commercial Code, and the Debtor shall be liable
for the deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the
Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party is
entitled and the reasonable costs, fees and expenses of any attorney employed by
the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
Section 8.4 Actions and Proceedings. After the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party has the right to appear in and
defend
16
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Collateral and to bring any
action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Debtor, which Secured Party,
in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the
Collateral.
Section 8.5 Other Rights, Etc. (a) No delay or failure of the Secured Party
in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder
shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or remedy. No action or forbearance by the Pledgee contrary to the
provisions of this Agreement shall be construed to constitute a waiver of any of
the express provisions hereof. The Secured Party may specifically waive any of
the Secured Party's rights under this Agreement without invalidating the entire
Agreement. Nothing herein contained, nor anything done or omitted to be done by
the Secured Party pursuant hereto, shall be deemed a waiver by the Secured Party
of any of its rights or remedies hereunder or under the Reimbursement Agreement
or any of the other L/C Documents or under applicable law.
(b) The rights of Secured Party under this Agreement shall be separate,
distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the
others. No act of Secured Party shall be construed as an election to proceed
under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Secured
Party shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated
but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law
or in equity.
Section 8.6 Right to Release any Portion of the Collateral. Secured Party
may release any portion of the Collateral for such consideration as Secured
Party may require without, as to the remainder of the Collateral, in any way
impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Agreement, the Security
Instruments, the Mortgage or any of the Other Security Documents, or improving
the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the
extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual
monetary consideration, if any, received by Secured Party for such release, and
may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place
thereof as Secured Party may require without being accountable for so doing to
any other lienholder. This Agreement shall continue as a lien and security
interest in the remaining portion of the Collateral.
Section 8.7 Violation of Laws. If the Collateral is not in compliance with
applicable laws, Secured Party may impose additional reasonable requirements
upon Debtor in connection herewith including, without limitation, monetary
reserves or financial equivalents.
Section 8.8 Right of Entry. Secured Party and its agents shall have the
right upon prior written notice to enter and inspect the Collateral at all
reasonable times upon notice to Debtor.

THIS ASSIGNMENT is made on the following terms, covenants and
conditions:
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. PRESENT ASSIGNMENT. Assignor does hereby assign to Assignee, as
collateral security for the Debt, all of Assignor's right, title and interest in
all current and future Leases and Rents, Lease Guaranties, and Bankruptcy
Claims. Such assignment to Assignee shall not be construed to bind Assignee to
the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in
any such Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon Assignee. Assignor agrees
to execute and deliver to Assignee such additional instruments, in form and
substance satisfactory to Assignee, as may hereafter be reasonably requested by
Assignee to further evidence and confirm such assignment. Nevertheless, subject
to the terms of this paragraph 1, until an Event of Default (as defined in the
Reimbursement Agreement), Assignor shall have the right to operate and manage
the Property and to collect the Rents and other sums due under the Lease
Guaranties and Bankruptcy Claims and Assignor shall hold the Rents and all sums
received pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims, or a portion
thereof sufficient to discharge all current sums due on the Debt, in trust for
the benefit of Assignee for use in the payment of such sums. Upon an Event of
Default, this Assignment shall become an absolute assignment and Assignee shall
immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents and all sums received
pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims, whether or not Assignee
enters upon or takes control of the Property. Assignee is hereby granted and
assigned by Assignor the right, at its option, upon an Event of Default, to
enter upon the Property in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver to
collect the Rents and all sums received pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and
Bankruptcy Claims. Any Rents and all sums received pursuant to any Lease
Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims collected on or after an Event of Default may be
applied toward payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Assignee
in its discretion shall deem proper.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
2. REMEDIES OF ASSIGNEE. (a) Upon or at any time after an Event of
Default, Assignee may, at its option, without waiving such Event of Default,
without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Debt,
either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or proceeding,
or by a receiver appointed by a court, take possession of the Property and have,
hold, manage, lease and operate the Property on such terms and for such period
of time as Assignee may deem proper and either with or without taking possession
of the Property in its own name, demand, sue for or otherwise collect and
receive all Rents and all sums received pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and
Bankruptcy Claims, including those past due and unpaid with full power to make
from time to time all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements thereto
or thereof as may seem proper to Assignee and may apply the Rents and all sums
received pursuant to any Lease Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims to the payment of
the following in such order and proportion as Assignee in its sole discretion
may determine, any law, custom or use to the contrary notwithstanding: (a) all
expenses of managing and securing the Property, including, without being limited
thereto, the salaries, fees and wages of a managing agent and such other
employees or agents as Assignee may deem necessary or desirable and all expenses
of operating and maintaining the Property, including, without being limited
thereto, all taxes, charges, claims, assessments, water charges, sewer rents and
any other liens, and premiums for all insurance which Assignee may deem
necessary or desirable, and the cost of all alterations, renovations, repairs or
replacements, and all expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of
the Property; and (b) the Debt, together with all costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements. In addition to the rights which Assignee may
have herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Assignee, at its
option, may require Assignor to vacate and surrender possession of the Property
to Assignee or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Assignor may be evicted
by summary proceedings or otherwise. For purposes of this paragraph 2, Assignor
grants to Assignee its irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest,
to take any and all of the aforementioned actions and any or all other actions
designated by Assignee for the proper management and preservation of the
Property. The exercise by Assignee of the option granted it in this paragraph 2
and the collection of the Rents and all sums received pursuant to any Lease
Guaranty and Bankruptcy Claims and the application thereof as herein provided
shall not be considered a waiver by Assignee of any default by Assignor under
the Reimbursement Agreement, this Assignment or the other L/C Documents.
(b) Upon or at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Assignee shall have the right in its own name or in the name of Assignor in
respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of
any Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to
the exclusion of Assignor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions,
applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the lessee
under such Lease under the Bankruptcy Code.
(c) If there shall be filed by or against Assignor a petition under the
Bankruptcy Code, and Assignor, as lessor under any Lease, shall determine to
reject such Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then
Assignor shall give Assignee not less than ten (10) days' prior notice of the
date on which Assignor shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to
reject the
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Lease. Assignee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon
Assignor within such ten-day period a notice stating that (i) Assignee demands
that Assignor assume and assign the Lease to Assignee pursuant to Section 365 of
the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Assignee covenants to cure or provide adequate
assurance of future performance under the Lease. If Assignee serves upon
Assignor the notice described in the preceding sentence, Assignor shall not seek
to reject the Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (i)
of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice shall have
been given, subject to the performance by Assignee of the covenant provided for
in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.
3. NO LIABILITY OF ASSIGNEE. Assignee shall not be liable for any loss
sustained by Assignor resulting from Assignee's failure to let the Property
after an Event of Default or from any other act or omission of Assignee in
managing the Property after default unless such loss is caused by the willful
misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith of Assignee. Assignee shall not be
obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the
Leases or under or by reason of this Assignment and Assignor shall, and hereby
agrees, to indemnify Assignee for, and to hold Assignee harmless from, any and
all liability, loss or damage which may or might be incurred under the Leases or
under or by reason of this Assignment and from any and all claims and demands
whatsoever, including the defense of any such claims or demands which may be
asserted against Assignee by reason of any alleged obligations and undertakings
on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements
contained in the Leases. Should Assignee incur any such liability, the amount
thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined in
the Reimbursement Agreement) shall be secured hereby and by the L/C Documents
and Assignor shall reimburse Assignee therefor immediately upon demand and upon
the failure of Assignor so to do Assignee may, at its option, declare all sums
secured hereby and the other L/C Documents immediately due and payable. This
Assignment shall not operate to place any obligation or liability for the
control, care, management or repair of the Property upon Assignee, nor for the
carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of the Leases; nor shall it
operate to make Assignee responsible or liable for any waste committed on the
Property by the tenants or any other parties, or for any dangerous or defective
condition of the Property, including, without limitation, the presence of any
Hazardous Substances (as defined in the New Environmental Indemnity), or for any
negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property
resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or
stranger.
4. NOTICE TO LESSEES. Assignor hereby authorizes and directs the lessees
named in the Leases or any other or future lessees or occupants of the Property
upon receipt from Assignee of written notice to the effect that Assignee is then
the holder of the Reimbursement Obligations and that an Event of Default exists
under the Reimbursement Agreement or under this Assignment, or the other L/C
Documents, to pay over to Assignee all Rents and all sums under any Lease
Guaranty and to continue so to do until otherwise notified by Assignee. Assignor
hereby agrees that each such lessee and any other or future lessee and occupant
may rely upon such written notice from Assignee to so pay the Rents and other
sums without any inquiry into whether there exists a default hereunder
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
or under the Reimbursement Agreement or the other L/C Documents or whether
Assignee is otherwise entitled to the Rents and other sums. Assignor hereby
waives any right, claim or demand which Assignor may now or hereafter have
against any present or future lessee or occupant by reason of such payment of
Rents and other sums to Assignee, and any such payment shall discharge such
lessee's or occupant's obligation to make such payment to Assignor. Assignor
hereby agrees that within thirty (30) days of execution of this Assignment and
within ten (10) Business Days after entering into any future Lease, it shall
provide all lessees named in the Leases or any other future lessees or occupants
of the Property written notice of this Assignment in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit "E" by mailing said written notice by certified mail, return receipt
requested, to such Lessees or occupants and providing Assignee with evidence of
receipt of said written notice.
5. OTHER SECURITY. Assignee may take or release other security for the
payment of the Debt, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable
therefor, may grant extensions, renewals or indulgences with respect thereto and
may apply any other security held by it to the reduction or satisfaction of the
Debt without prejudice to any of its rights under this Assignment.
6. OTHER REMEDIES. Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done
or omitted by Assignee pursuant to the power and rights granted to Assignee
hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by Assignee of its rights and remedies
under the Reimbursement Agreement or the other L/C Documents and this Assignment
is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies
possessed by Assignee under the terms thereof. The right of Assignee to collect
the Debt and to enforce any other security therefor held by it may be exercised
by Assignee either prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any action
taken by it hereunder.
7. NO MORTGAGEE IN POSSESSION. Nothing herein contained shall be
construed as constituting Assignee a "mortgagee in possession" in the absence of
the taking of actual possession of the Property by Assignee. In the exercise of
the powers herein granted Assignee, no liability shall be asserted or enforced
against Assignee (other than for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional
misconduct), all such liability being expressly waived and released by Assignor
and Assignee shall be obligated to account only for such Rents as are actually
collected or received by Assignee.
8. INCORPORATION; CONFLICT OF TERMS. All terms, conditions and
provisions of Exhibit D to the Reimbursement Agreement (prior to the
substitution of such exhibit as provided in the Modification Agreement) are
incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein. In the event of a
conflict between the terms of such Exhibit D and the terms of this Assignment,
the terms of the document which shall enlarge the rights or remedies of
Assignee, grant to Assignee greater financial security, or better insure the
payment and performance in full of the Debt, shall control. Whenever possible,
the provisions of this Assignment shall be deemed supplemental to and not in
derogation of the other L/C Documents.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
9. NO ORAL CHANGE. This Assignment and any provisions hereof may not be
modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally,
or by any act or failure to act on the part of Assignor or Assignee, but only by
an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of any
modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is
sought.
10. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary
intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this

interest therein; whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein
shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the
singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa.
11. NON-WAIVER. The failure of Assignee to insist upon strict
performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of
this Assignment. Assignor shall not be relieved of Assignor's obligations
hereunder by reason of (i) failure of Assignee to comply with any request of
Assignor or any other party to take any action to enforce any of the provisions
hereof, or of the Reimbursement Agreement, or the other L/C Documents, (ii) the
release regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property,
or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Assignee extending the time of payment
or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of this Assignment, the
Reimbursement Agreement, or the other L/C Documents. Assignee may resort for the
payment of the Debt to any other security held by Assignee in such order and
manner as Assignee, in its discretion, may elect. Assignee may take any action
to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof
without prejudice to the right of Assignee thereafter to enforce its rights
under this Assignment. The rights of Assignee under this Assignment shall be
separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the
exclusion of the others. No act of Assignee shall be construed as an election to
proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.

Assignment is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, this
Assignment shall be construed without such provision.

Assignee.

this Assignment, the liability of any general partner of Assignor to pay the
Debt and for the performance of the other agreements, covenants and obligations
contained herein and in the Reimbursement Agreement, and the other L/C Documents

ASSIGNMENT OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND
SUBORDINATION OF MANAGEMENT FEES
THIS ASSIGNMENT OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND SUBORDINATION OF MANAGEMENT
FEES ("Assignment") is made as of the 3rd day of August, 1998, by POSADAS DE
PUERTO RICO ASSOCIATES, INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation, having its
principal place of business at 999 Ashford Avenue (Condado), Santurce, Puerto
Rico 00902 ("Borrower"), to CITICORP REAL ESTATE, INC., a Delaware corporation,
having an address at 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10043 ("Lender"), and
is acknowledged and consented to by WILLIAMS HOSPITALITY GROUP INC. (formerly
known as Posadas of America Central, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, having its
principal place of business at 6063 East Isla Verde Avenue, Carolina, Puerto
Rico 00979 ("Agent").
RECITALS:
A. Borrower by its promissory note of even date herewith given
to Lender (the note together with all extensions, renewals, modifications,
consolidations, substitutions, replacements, restatements and increases thereof
shall collectively be referred to as the "Note") is indebted to Lender in the
principal sum of $55,000,000 in lawful money of the United States of America,
with interest from the date thereof at the rates set forth in the Note (the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note, together with such interest accrued thereon,
shall collectively be referred to as the "Loan"), principal and interest to be
payable in accordance with the terms and conditions provided in the Note and the
Loan Agreement dated the date hereof between Borrower and Lender (the "Loan
Agreement").
B. The Loan is secured by, among other things, a Mortgage Note
Pledge and Security Agreement (the "Security Instrument"), with respect to
certain Mortgage Notes and Mortgages (as such terms are defined in the Security
Instrument), which Mortgages grant Lender a first lien on the property
encumbered thereby (the "Property"). All and any of the documents other than the
Note, the Security Instrument and this Assignment now or hereafter executed by
Borrower and/or others and by or in favor of Lender, which wholly or partially
secure or guarantee payment of the Note are referred to as the "Other Security
Documents". The Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Other
Security Documents and each of the other documents evidencing, securing or
otherwise relating to the Loan or any of the foregoing documents are hereinafter
sometimes collectively referred to as the "Loan Documents".
C. Pursuant to a certain Management Agreement dated as of
September 23, 1983 between Borrower and Agent (the "Management Agreement") (a
true and correct copy of which Management Agreement is attached hereto as
Exhibit A), Borrower employed Agent exclusively to operate and manage the
Property and Agent is entitled to certain management fees (the
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
"Management Fees") thereunder, including without limitation all Incentive
Management Fees and Basic Management Fees (both as defined in the Management
Agreement).
D. Lender requires as a condition to the making of the Loan
that Borrower assign all of its rights in and to the Management Agreement as
additional security for the Loan and that Agent subordinate its interest in the
Management Fees in lien and payment to the Security Instrument as set forth
below.
AGREEMENT:
For good and valuable consideration the parties hereto agree
as follows:
1. Assignment of Management Agreement. (a) As additional
collateral security for the Loan, Borrower hereby unconditionally transfers,
sets over and assigns to Lender all of Borrower's right, title and interest in
and to the Management Agreement, said transfer and assignment to automatically
become a present, unconditional assignment, at Lender's option, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined).
(b) Assignment by Agent. As further additional
collateral security for the Loan, Agent hereby unconditionally transfers, sets
over and assigns to Lender all of Agent's right, title and interest in and to
all permits, license agreements, operating contracts, licenses (including
liquor, gaming and other licenses), franchise agreements and all management,
service, supply and maintenance contracts and agreements, and any other
agreements, permits or contracts of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter
obtained or entered into by Agent on behalf of Borrower with respect to the
operation, maintenance and administration of the Property (collectively, the
"Agent Contracts").
2. Subordination of Management Fees. The Management Fees and
all rights and privileges of Agent to the Management Fees are hereby and shall
at all times continue to be subject and unconditionally subordinate in all
respects in lien and payment to the lien and payment of the Loan Documents and
to any renewals, extensions, modifications, assignments, replacements, or
consolidations thereof and the rights, privileges, and powers of Lender
thereunder.
3. Termination. At such time as the Loan is paid in full and
the Security Instrument is released or assigned of record, this Assignment and
all of Lender's right, title and interest hereunder with respect to the
Management Agreement shall terminate. Lender, at Borrower's expense, shall
execute and deliver such instruments as Agent may reasonably request to evidence
such termination.
4. Estoppel. Agent represents and warrants that (a) the
Management Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been modified,
amended or assigned with respect to the
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Property (other than the assignment to Scotiabank being terminated concurrently
herewith), (b) except with respect to the payment of certain deferred Management
Fees reflected in Borrower's financial statements, to the best of Agent's
knowledge, neither Agent nor Borrower is in default under any of the terms,
covenants or provisions of the Management Agreement with respect to the Property
and Agent knows of no event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of
notice or both, would constitute an event of default under the Management
Agreement with respect to the Property, (c) neither Agent nor to Agent's
knowledge, Borrower, has commenced any action or given or received any notice
for the purpose of terminating the Management Agreement with respect to the
Property and (d) the Management Fees and all other sums due and payable to the
Agent under the Management Agreement have been paid in full with respect to the
Property.
5. (a) Borrower's Covenants. Borrower hereby covenants with
Lender that during the term of this Assignment: (i) Borrower shall not transfer
the responsibility for the management of the Property from Agent to any other
person or entity without prior written notification to Lender and the prior
written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld by Lender in Lender's
sole discretion except that Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent
to the transfer of the responsibility for management of the Property to an
entity wholly owned by Wyndham International or Wyndham International Operating
Partnership L.P. pursuant to a management agreement acceptable to Lender in its
reasonable discretion and provided that Borrower and transferee shall execute
and deliver to Lender any agreement in substantially the same form as this
Assignment on or prior to such transfer and (ii) Borrower shall not terminate or
amend any of the terms or provisions of the Management Agreement without the
prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld by Lender in
Lender's sole discretion; and (iii) Borrower shall, in the manner provided for
in this Assignment, give notice to Lender of any notice or information that
Borrower receives which indicates that Agent is terminating the Management
Agreement or that Agent is otherwise discontinuing its management of the
Property.
(b) Agent's Covenants. Agent hereby covenants with
Lender that during the term of this Assignment, Agent shall not assign, pledge,
sell or transfer the Agent Contracts to any party except to Borrower, which
transfer to Borrower shall be subject to the assignment to Lender made by Agent
herein. Further, Agent agrees as long as the Management Agreement remains in
effect, to comply with the terms, covenants and provisions of all Agent
Contracts and to keep all Agent Contracts in full force and effect to the extent
necessary or desirable to the operation and management of the Property.
6. Agreement by Borrower and Agent. Borrower and Agent hereby
agree that in the event of a default by Borrower (beyond any applicable grace
period) under the Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
("Event of Default") during the term of this Assignment, at the option of Lender
exercised by written notice to Borrower and Agent: (a) Agent shall not collect
or be entitled to any Management Fees or other fee or commission due under the
Management Agreement following termination thereof; and (b) Lender may exercise
its rights under this Assignment and may immediately terminate the Management
Agreement by written notice to
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
the Agent that such Event of Default has occurred and that Lender elects to
exercise its option under this Section 6 by reason thereof, and require Agent to
transfer its responsibility for the management of the Property to Lender or to a
management company selected by Lender in Lender's sole and absolute discretion.
7. Lender's Right to Replace Agent. In addition to the
foregoing, in the event that (a) Agent becomes insolvent, or (b) an Event of
Default occurs, Lender may exercise its rights under this Assignment and direct
Borrower to terminate the Management Agreement and to replace Agent with a
management company acceptable to Lender in Lender's sole and absolute
discretion.
8. Receipt of Management Fees. Borrower and Agent hereby agree
that Agent shall not be entitled to receive any Management Fees or other fee,
commission or other amount payable to Agent under the Management Agreement for
and during any period of time that any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing; provided, however, that Agent shall not be obligated to return or
refund to Lender any Management Fees or other fee, commission or other amount
already received by Agent prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default, and
to which Agent was entitled under this Assignment.
9. Consent and Agreement by Agent. Agent hereby acknowledges
and consents to this Assignment and agrees that Agent will act in conformity
with the provisions of this Assignment and Lender's rights hereunder or
otherwise related to the Management Agreement. In the event that the
responsibility for the management of the Property is transferred from Agent in
accordance with the provisions hereof (whether to a new management company
retained by Borrower or after an Event of Default, to Lender or a new management
company retained by Lender), Agent shall, and hereby agrees to, fully cooperate
in transferring its responsibility and the Agent Contracts to Lender or a new
management company, as applicable, and effectuate such transfer no later than
thirty (30) days from the date the Management Agreement is terminated. Further,
Agent hereby agrees (a) not to contest or impede the exercise by Lender of any
right it has under or in connection with this Assignment; and (b) that it shall,
in the manner provided for in this Assignment, give at least thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Lender of its intention to terminate the Management
Agreement or otherwise discontinue its management of the Property.
10. Intentionally Omitted.
11. Governing Law. This Assignment shall be deemed to be a
contract entered into pursuant to the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
and shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, without regard to
the principles of conflicts of laws.

PROMISSORY NOTE
$32,021,172.00 San Juan, Puerto Rico
August 3, 1998
ON DEMAND for value received, the undersigned (the "Borrower") promises
to pay to Posadas de Puerto Rico Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Lender"), the aggregate sum of THIRTY TWO MILLION TWENTY ONE THOUSAND ONE
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TWO DOLLARS ($32,021,172.00), or such lesser amount as shall
then remain unpaid, under this Note, with interest. The principal amount of this
Note represents funds to be used by the Borrower to satisfy a portion of its
payment obligation to The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. and to pay costs and
expenses associated therewith and to the refinancing thereof.
This Note shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount of this
Note from time to time from the date hereof to the date of its repayment at the
prime rate announced in New York City by The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., from
time to time (the "Prime Rate"). Except as otherwise provided herein, such
interest accrued during any quarter shall be payable on the first day of the
following quarter and shall be computed on the outstanding principal amount on
the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and for the number of
actual days elapsed.
The principal and interest payable by the Borrower to the Lender
hereunder shall be paid only in accordance with Section 6.4 of the El
Conquistador Partnership L.P. Joint Venture Agreement dated January 12, 1990, as
amended, and shall be deemed an Additional Loan (as such term is defined in such
agreement).
The Borrower's obligations under this Note shall be junior, subject and
subordinate in all respects to the Borrower's obligations owed to Citicorp Real
Estate, Inc. ("CRE") under the Assignment and Modification Agreement dated as of
August 3, 1998 among Borrower, CRE, and certain other parties and the Lender
shall not, without the prior written consent of CRE in each instance until the
Borrower's obligations under the Assignment and Modification Agreement have been
satisfied in full, exercise any rights or remedies as a result of a default
hereunder of the Borrower.
This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time and from time
to time prior to the maturity hereof without premium or penalty, but with
accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid to the date of prepayment.
All payments received in respect of this Note shall be applied first to
interest and then to principal.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the rate of
interest required to be paid hereunder exceeds the rate lawfully chargeable, the
rate of interest to be paid shall be automatically reduced to the maximum rate
lawfully chargeable so that no amounts in excess thereof shall be
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
charged, and, in the event it should be determined that any excess over such
highest lawful rate has been charged or received, the Lender shall promptly
refund such excess to the Borrower; provided, however, that, if lawful, any such
excess shall be paid by the Borrower on behalf of the Lender as additional
interest (accruing at a rate equal to the maximum legal rate minus the rate
provided for hereunder) during any subsequent period when regular interest is
accruing hereunder at less than the maximum legal rate.
If this Note is not paid in full when due, the undersigned Borrower
hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses of collection including reasonable
attorneys' fees and thereafter the unpaid balance hereunder shall bear interest
at the Prime Rate plus 2%.
This Note shall become immediately due and payable at the option of the
Lender, without notice or demand, in the event that the Borrower is the subject
of a voluntary or involuntary application for the appointment of a receiver or a
petition filed under the Federal or local Bankruptcy Laws or the Borrower fails
to make a payment when due and such failure shall continue for a period of ten
(10) days.
The undersigned Borrower and all endorsers hereof, jointly and
severally waive presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of
protest, and all other notices or demands in connection herewith and assent to
any extension or postponement of the time of payment or other indulgence or
release of any party, whether by operation of law or otherwise.
No delay by the holder of this Note in exercising any power or right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any power or right, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise
thereof, or the exercise of any other power or right hereunder or otherwise; and
no waiver whatever or modification of the terms hereof shall be valid unless set
forth in writing and signed by the holder of this Note. No waiver shall be
deemed a continuing waiver or waiver of any subsequent breach or default,
whether of the same or similar or different nature, unless expressly so stated
writing.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
substantive law of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

explosion liability and worker's compensation insurance) shall contain breach of
warranty provisions, such Policy shall provide that with respect to the
interests of Lender, such Insurance Policy shall not be invalidated by and shall
insure Lender regardless of (A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or

any named insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the Mortgage Property for
purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, (C) any foreclosure
or other action or proceeding taken by the Lender pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement, or either or both of the GDB Mortgage and GDB Leasehold
Mortgage, or (D) any change in title to or ownership of all or any of the

covered by the procedures set forth in Article 11.3 hereof.
8.21 Notice. Borrower shall promptly give written notice to Lender in the
manner provided in Article 11.14 hereof of (i) the occurrence of any Default or
Event of Default; (ii) any legal, judicial or regulatory proceedings affecting
Borrower or any of its properties or assets, in which the amount involved is
material and is not covered (subject to normal deductibles) by insurance and
that will have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) any dispute between Borrower and
any governmental regulatory body or other Person that will have a Material
Adverse Effect; (iv) substantial damage, loss, or impairment in value, to any
part of the Security and/or the Premises, specifying the nature and extent of
damage, loss, or impairment in value, and whether such damage, loss, or

in due course or the total loss or destruction of any material part of the
Security and/or the Premises; (v) any other action, event or condition of any
nature of which it has knowledge which would result in any Material Adverse
Effect; and (vi) the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy of, or any assignment
for the benefit of creditors or the seeking of any relief under any Debtor
Relief Law by Borrower.
8.22 Deficiency Loans. Any funds advanced to the Borrower as Deficiency Loans
(as defined in the Borrower's Partnership Agreement), whether or not at the
direction of the Bank or Lender, shall be applied only to the operating costs or
other fees and expenses related to the operation of the Project; provided,
however that (a) up to $6,000,000 of such funds available for Deficiency Loans
under Borrower's Partnership Agreement may be used by the Borrower to pay any
portion of the Total Project Costs for which the Borrower has insufficient funds
and (b) the foregoing restriction shall be of no effect from and after the date
in which the Coverage Requirement, as such term is defined under the Bank Loan
Documents, is met (the "Bank Coverage Date"). After the date of Substantial
Completion and until the Bank Coverage Date, in the event (i) Borrower has
failed to pay Interest to Lender as provided in Article IV hereof, and such
failure shall continue uncured beyond the first (1st) day of the following
calendar month in which such payment was due, and (ii) Borrower has paid all
interest and other fees due under the Bank Loan Documents on a current basis
through and including the 15th day of such month, then Lender shall have the
right to cause the Borrower, acting through WKA, to require the General Partners
to make Deficiency Loans in amounts of up to $20,000,000 in the aggregate (less
the principal amount of any Deficiency Loans previously
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
VIII - 17
made by the General Partners) and to apply such funds on account of Interest
then due to the Lender. The Lender shall have no right to cause Deficiency Loans
to be made to pay principal under the GDB Loan or under the Bank Loan Documents.
In the event that WKA does not make the Deficiency Loan required by the Lender
as aforesaid which WKA may be required to make pursuant to Section 6.02 of the
Borrower's Partnership Agreement, the Lender may require KGC to make the
Deficiency Loan on behalf of WKA through the making of a KG Loan (as defined in
the Borrower's Partnership Agreement). In the event of a default by KGC in its
obligations to make a KG Loan to fund any Deficiency Loan required by Lender as
aforesaid, the Lender shall have the right to cause the Borrower or WKA,
respectively, to exercise such rights and remedies with respect thereto as the
Lender shall determine. The Lender's right to require Deficiency Loans to be
made shall cease (x) during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding with
respect to the Borrower or (y) in the event of the commencement of any
foreclosure proceeding or the exercise of any rights in lieu of foreclosure with
respect to the Borrower's interest in the Project. The Lender acknowledges that
an aggregate of only $20 million in principal amount of Deficiency Loans is
available to the Borrower and, that the Borrower has the right to call upon such
Deficiency Loans and apply the proceeds thereof to Total Project Costs, interest
and fees in respect of the Loan Documents and Bank Loan Documents and operating
deficiencies and in certain circumstances the Bank has the right to call upon
such Deficiency Loans and apply the proceeds thereof to operating costs or other
fees or expenses related to the operation of the Project. Accordingly, the
availability of Deficiency
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
VIII - 18
Loans to pay Interest to the Lender as provided herein is subject to the prior
requests for or application of the proceeds of such Deficiency Loans to pay such
other permitted items.
8.23 Certification of Substantial Completion. The Borrower upon reaching
Substantial Completion of the Project shall submit to Lender a certification
from the Architects to that effect, and a certification of the Total Project
Costs incurred up to the date of Substantial Completion, signed by the chief
financial officer of the Borrower, together with the Financial Statements for
the Fiscal Year during which Substantial Completion is reached.

rights, accreditations, franchises patents, permits licenses and privileges
necessary for the conduct of its business as now conducted, and as necessary for
the ownership and management of the Premises, without known conflict with the
rights of any person.

have obtained the approval of ARPE and/or of the Planning Board of Puerto Rico
to the site plan and prior to commencement of any stage of the Project, approval

Planning Board of Puerto Rico. The Borrower shall make full payments for all
costs of all such constructions and installations, promptly as due, except as

account of failure to pay wages of Construction workers.

Project, or for use in its installations or constructions, and all labor
contracted or hired for or in connection with said installations or

MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 No Agency Relationship. The Borrower understands and agrees that
Lender is not the agent, representative, or partner of, or joint-venturer with
the Borrower, and this Agreement shall not be construed to make Lender liable to
materialmen, contractors, craftsmen, laborers, or others for goods or services
furnished by them in or into the Project, or for debts or claims accruing to the
said parties against the Borrower, and it is distinctly understood and agreed
that there is no contractual relation, either express or implied, between Lender
and any materialmen, subcontractors, craftsmen, laborers or other person or
persons supplying any work or materials in and to the Project, or of any part
thereof. This Agreement shall not give rise to the application of the doctrine
of third party beneficiary.
11.2 Liability. It is understood between the parties hereto that
Borrower has selected or will select all architects, engineers, contractors,
subcontractors, materialmen, as well as all others furnishing services or
materials for the Project and Lender has, and shall have, no responsibility

being understood that Lender's sole function is that of lender and the only
consideration passing from Lender to Borrower is the proceeds of the Loans in
accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement. It is also agreed
that Borrower shall have no right to rely on any procedures required by Lender
herein, such procedures being for the protection of Lender as Lender and no one
else. Borrower hereby agrees to hold and save Lender harmless and indemnify it

of Borrower.
11.3 Indemnity of Lender. Borrower hereby indemnifies the Lender, and
its respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents
(collectively, "Indemnified Persons") against, and agrees to hold each such
Indemnified Person harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities, and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and
expenses, incurred by such Indemnified Person arising out of any claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding (whether or not such Indemnified Person
is a party thereto) relating to any transaction, services or matters that are
the subject of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that such indemnity shall
not apply to any such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities or related
expenses determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person and provided
further that Borrower's obligations with respect to environmental matters is
solely under Article 8.20 hereof and not under this Article 11.3. If any
litigation or proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Person in respect of
which indemnify may be sought against Borrower pursuant to this Article 11.3,
such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Borrower in writing of the
commencement of such litigation or proceeding, but the omission so to notify
Borrower shall not relieve Borrower from any other obligation or liability which
it may have to any Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Article 11.3 or
Article 8.20. Failure of the Indemnified Person

<PAGE>
XI - 3
to timely notify Borrower of the commencement of such litigation of proceeding
shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation under Article 11.3 or Article 8.20,
except where and to the extent such failure irrevocably prejudices any action to
hold such Indemnified Person harmless therefrom. In case any such litigation or
proceeding shall be bought against any Indemnified Person and such Indemnified
Person shall notify Borrower of the commencement of such litigation or
proceeding, Borrower shall be entitled to participate in such litigation or
proceeding and, after written notice from Borrower to such Indemnified Person,
to assume the defense of such litigation or proceeding with counsel of its

Indemnified Person in the exercise of its reasonable judgment. Notwithstanding

participate in the defense of such litigation or proceeding if (i) the use of
counsel chosen by Borrower to represent such Indemnified Person would present
such counsel with a material conflict of interest; (ii) the defendants in, or
targets of, any such litigation or proceeding include both and Indemnified
Person and Borrower, and such Indemnified Person shall have reasonable concluded
that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or
additional to those available to Borrower in which case Borrower shall not have
the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified
Person); (iii) Borrower shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to such
Indemnified Person in the exercise of the Indemnified Person within a reasonable
time after notice of the institution of such litigation or proceeding; or (iv)
Borrower shall authorize in writing such Indemnified Person to employ separate
counsel at the expense of Borrower,
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
XI - 4
provided that Borrower shall not be liable for the fees, costs and expenses of
more than one separate counsel at the same time for all such Indemnified Persons
in connection with the same action and any separate but substantially similar or
related action in the same jurisdiction. Borrower shall not consent to the entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement in any such litigation or
proceeding unless such judgment or settlement includes as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Person of a
release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all Legal Requirements.

hereof.

amended by that certain First Amendment to the Development Services and
Management Agreement dated as of September 30, 1991 and that certain Second
Amendment dated as of January 31, 1991 (together with any additional amendment
or supplements thereto from time to time as permitted hereby, the MANAGEMENT

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
is located, the PROPERTY);
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Letter of Credit and Reimbursement
Agreement of even date herewith between the Bank and the Partnership (such
agreement, as amended and supplemented from time to time, the LETTER OF CREDIT
AGREEMENT), the Bank has agreed to issue a letter of credit (the LETTER OF
CREDIT) to secure the repayment of the principal of, and accrued interest on,
the Loan (such term and all other capitalized terms used but not defined herein
having the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Letter of Credit
Agreement) in accordance with their terms;
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Assignment of Management Agreement of
even date herewith between the Partnership and the Bank (the ASSIGNMENT), the
Partnership assigned its rights and interests under the Management Agreement to
the Bank as security for the obligations of the Partnership under the Letter of
Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, one of the conditions precedent to the obligation of the Bank
to issue the Letter of Credit is the agreement of the Manager to subordinate the

the liens and charges of the Mortgage, the Pledge Agreement and the other
Operative Documents in the manner hereinafter provided; and
WHEREAS, the financing of the Project, as contemplated by the

of the purposes of the Management Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the issuance of
the
2
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Letter of Credit and the entering into of the Letter of Credit Agreement by the
Bank, the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto further agree as follows:
SECTION 1. SUBORDINATION; BANK'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE; ATTORNMENT;
ASSIGNMENT OF LICENSES.
(a) The Manager hereby covenants and agrees for the benefit of
the Bank that the Management Agreement, the Manager's rights thereunder and the
lien for the payment of any and all fees to the Manager or otherwise under the
Management Agreement (the MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT FEES) are hereby made and shall
unconditionally continue to be and remain at all times subject and subordinate
in all respects to the liens, charges, terms, covenants and provisions of the
Mortgage, the Pledge Agreement, the Letter of Credit Agreement and the other
Operative Documents and any extensions, modifications, amendments and renewals
thereof and the rights and benefits of the Bank thereunder.
(b) At any time after the occurrence of a default or event of
default under the Mortgage, the Pledge Agreement, the Letter of Credit Agreement
or any of the other Operative Documents and the commencement of the exercise by
the Bank of any remedies for such default the result of which would be the
termination of the Partnership's ownership or operation of the Property, the
Bank may, upon written notice to the Manager that such events have occurred and
that it elects to exercise its option under this paragraph by reason thereof,
terminate the Management Agreement.
3
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
(c) If the Bank becomes the owner of the Partnership's
interest in the Property (whether pursuant to the Mortgage and the Pledge
Agreement, by voluntary conveyance, by agreement of the parties, or otherwise,
and whether in its own name, through its nominee, or otherwise), or if the
interest of the Partnership in the Property is acquired by any third party as a
result of any action taken by the Bank or the holder of the Mortgage relating to
a default by the Partnership in its obligations to the Bank or to the holder of
the Mortgage (such third party being referred to as a PURCHASER), then, provided
the Management Agreement shall not previously have been terminated in accordance
with its provisions or the provisions of this Agreement, the Manager shall fully
and completely recognize and attorn to the Bank or the purchaser, as applicable,
under the Management Agreement for the balance of the term thereof, including
any extensions and renewals thereof, upon all terms and conditions therein
provided (exclusive of any provisions thereof which have theretofore been fully
performed or which depend upon the identity or involvement of or performance by
any named individuals, insofar as the same relate to the obligations of the
Partnership, or other Persons controlling, controlled by or under common control
with the Partnership), so as to establish direct privity of contract between the
Bank or the purchaser, as applicable, and the Manager; and the Manager shall
thereafter make all payments required thereunder to be made to the Partnership
directly to the Bank or the purchaser, as applicable; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the Bank or the purchaser, as applicable, shall not:
(i) be liable for any act or omission of the
Partnership or be liable for any sums due and payable to the Manager under the
Management Agreement
4
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
prior to the Bank's or the purchaser's taking possession of the Property or
otherwise acquiring or succeeding to the interest of the Partnership under the
Management Agreement;
(ii) be obligated to pay any deferred fees due solely
by reason of the acceleration thereof (it being understood that, in such event,
the provisions of the Management Agreement providing for the deferral of fees
shall continue in full force and effect);
(iii) be subject to any offsets or defenses which the
Manager may be entitled to assert against the Partnership; or
(iv) be bound by any amendment or modification of the
Management Agreement made without the consent of the Bank.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Management
Agreement, the Bank or the purchaser, as applicable, shall be obligated under
the Management Agreement pursuant to this Section 1 only for the period of time
during which the Bank or the purchaser, as applicable, has an interest in the
Property, and shall not have any liability with respect to any obligations
accruing prior to or following such period; provided, however, that any such
purchaser shall continue to be liable for obligations accruing under the
Management Agreement after the sale of the Property by such purchaser to another
party to the extent so provided in the Management Agreement.
(e) The Manager hereby covenants and agrees for the benefit of
the Bank that upon its receipt of a notice of default on the part of the
Partnership under the Letter of Credit Agreement or any of the Operative
Documents, the Manager shall, upon
5
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
written notice from the Bank that the Bank invokes the provisions of this
paragraph by reason thereof (without the necessity for the Bank to obtain from
the Partnership any authorization or direction of the Manager to satisfy the
Manager that any such default exists), hold all amounts received by the Manager
in connection with the operation of the Project or otherwise received on behalf
of the Partnership in trust for the Bank and/or turn same over to the Bank, as
the Bank shall direct, or open new bank accounts in banks and in names
designated by the Bank into which the Manager shall transfer all funds then in
the bank accounts established pursuant to Section 4.8 of the Management
Agreement, which new accounts shall thereafter be considered to be the operating
accounts of the Project. The foregoing shall not be interpreted to prevent the
Manager from paying its management fees in accordance with the provisions of the
Management Agreement (provided it is not in default thereunder or hereunder) or
from paying bills to third parties incurred in connection with the operations of
the Property, as same become due and payable, pursuant to the terms of the
Management Agreement.
(f) This Agreement and the provisions of the Mortgage, the
Pledge Agreement and the Letter of Credit Agreement shall supersede, to the
extent inconsistent with, any provisions of the Management Agreement relating to
the priority or subordination of the Management Agreement and the interests and
estates created thereby to the liens or charges of the Mortgage, the Pledge
Agreement and any of the other Operative Documents. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Manager acknowledges that it has been furnished
with copies of the Operative Documents and is familiar with the terms thereof,
and the Manager hereby waives any provisions of the
6
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Management Agreement relating to insurance requirements, the application of
insurance proceeds and/or condemnation awards or similar payments which are
inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage, Pledge Agreement and/or the Letter
of Credit Agreement.
(g) At the Bank's request, the Manager shall enter into
collateral assignments, in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, of the
Manager's rights, title and interest in and to any transportation permits
relating to the Property. In addition, if the Bank or a purchaser becomes the
owner of the Partnership's interest in the Property then, upon the written
request of the Bank or such purchaser, the Manager shall directly assign its
rights, title and interest in and to any transportation permits relating to the
Property to the Bank or the purchaser, as the case may be, to the extent
permitted by law.
SECTION 2. DEFAULT BY PARTNERSHIP UNDER MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT.
(a) The Manager hereby covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Bank
that upon the occurrence of any event which would, under the terms of the
Management Agreement, give rise to a right on the part of the Manager to
terminate the Management Agreement (herein called a MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
DEFAULT), the Manager shall notify the Partnership thereof immediately upon the
Manager's becoming aware of such Management Agreement Default, and shall not
exercise such right to terminate until:
(i) the Manager has first given the Bank written notice (the
DEFAULT NOTICE) setting forth (A) the occurrence of such Management Agreement
Default, describing the same in reasonable detail, (B) the provision of the
Management
7
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Agreement violated by such Management Agreement Default, (C) the applicable cure
period, if any, and (D) the Manager's intent to terminate the Management
Agreement by reason thereof; and
(ii) except as otherwise provided in the following paragraph
(b), the Bank has failed to cure such management Agreement Default within thirty
(30) days after the later of (x) the receipt of the Default Notice or (y) the
expiration of the applicable cure period specified in the Default Notice or
otherwise permitted under the Management Agreement or, if a stay, order or
decree of a court of competent jurisdiction enjoining the termination by the
Manager of the Management Agreement shall have been obtained by the Partnership
prior to the expiration of the applicable cure period specified in the Default
Notice or otherwise permitted under the Management Agreement, within thirty (30)
days after such stay, order or decree (including any preliminary or permanent
injunction in substance continuing in effect the provisions of a temporary
restraining order or stay) shall have been vacated, dissolved or terminated,
whichever shall be the later (any such thirty (30) day period being hereinafter
called the BANK CURE PERIOD); PROVIDED that if such Management Agreement Default
cannot be cured by the payment of money and cannot with due diligence be cured
prior to the expiration of the Bank Cure Period but is nevertheless reasonably
curable, then the Manager shall not exercise such right to terminate if, and the
Bank Cure Period shall be extended for so long as, the Bank and/or the
Partnership commences to cure such Management Agreement Default within the Bank
Cure Period and thereafter prosecutes to completion the curing of such
Management Agreement Default with diligence and continuity.
8
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
(b) If a Management Agreement Default is not reasonably curable by the
Bank or if the Bank requires possession of the Property or any portion thereof
to effect such cure, Manager agrees that so long as the fees and other amounts
thereafter arising under the Management Agreement and payable to the Manager are
paid by the Bank or otherwise, Manager shall not exercise its right to terminate
the Management Agreement until sixty (60) days after the Bank has secured the
appointment of a receiver with respect to the Property (and the Bank hereby
agrees to apply promptly for such appointment) or the Bank has gained possession
thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such Management Agreement Default cannot
with due diligence be cured prior to the expiration of such sixty (60) day
period, the Manager shall not exercise such right to terminate if, and such
sixty (60) day period shall be extended for as long as, the Bank and/or
Partnership commences to cure such Management Agreement Default within such
sixty (60) day period and thereafter prosecutes to completion the curing of such
Management Agreement Default with diligence and continuity.
(c) In the event of the occurrence of any default by the Partnership
under the Management Agreement, the Bank may, in its sole discretion, take any
and all acts and measures which may be required to cure any such default,
including, without limitation, the expenditure of money; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
nothing in this Section shall be construed to require the Bank to remedy or
correct any default of the Partnership or any other condition relating to or
arising in respect of the Management Agreement. In addition, the Bank shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to appear in and defend any action or
proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights and powers
9
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
of the Bank hereunder.
(d) For the purposes of this Agreement, any provision of the Management
Agreement providing for automatic termination of such Management Agreement or
for termination without notice or other action by the Manager, upon the
occurrence of a particular event, shall be ineffective with respect to the
rights of the Bank hereunder for so long as the Letter of Credit or the Letter
of Credit Agreement shall remain in effect, and upon the happening of any such
event the Manager shall promptly notify the Bank as provided in paragraph (a)
above and the Bank shall have the rights provided in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c)
above, and the Manager agrees, notwithstanding any termination of the Management
Agreement as to the Partnership, to continue to perform under the Management
Agreement for the benefit of the Bank as if the Management Agreement were still
in effect.
SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS.

Manager for all of its obligations thereunder.

Obligations and the Mortgage Obligations, the Mortgagor in this act delivers

The parties have agreed that the Mortgage Notes so pledged shall be of equal
priority (pari-passu) and that the pledge thereof in favor of the Authority and
the Bank shall be subject to the subordination provisions of Section 2(d)
hereof. As security for the Termination Payments Obligations, the Mortgagor in
this act delivers the Termination Payments Note to the Bank in pledge and as
security for Secured Obligations B, the Mortgagor in this Act delivers Mortgage
Note B to the Bank in pledge. The parties have agreed that the pledge of
Mortgage Note A and the Leasehold Note is of equal priority (pari-passu) with
the pledge of the Termination Payments Note and Mortgage Note B in connection
with all rights and remedies of the pledgees hereunder with respect to the Fee
Mortgage.
(b) Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the
Mortgagor has delivered (A) Mortgage Note A and the Leasehold Note to the Bank,
to hold in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, in its capacity as:
(i) pledgee hereunder and (ii) agent of the Authority pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement and (B) the Termination Payments Note and Mortgage Note B to the
Bank, to hold in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement in its
capacity as pledgee hereunder. The parties hereto hereby consent to the delivery

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-18-
Medical, Educational and Environmental Pollution Control Facilities Financing
Authority and The Mitsubishi Bank, Limited, New York Branch, dated February 7,

provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the pledge and rights of the
Authority in Mortgage Note A and the Leasehold Note and in the Mortgages are
hereby subordinated to the pledge and rights therein of the Bank and the rights
of the Authority as the holder of the Mortgages are hereby assigned to the Bank,
so long as the Bank shall not have "wrongfully dishonored" (as hereinafter
defined) any drawing made by the Trustee in strict compliance with the terms of
the Letter of Credit. In the event that the Bank shall wrongfully dishonor any
drawing made by the Trustee in strict compliance with the terms of the Letter of
Credit, then in such event the pledge of Mortgage Note A and the Leasehold Note
granted to the Bank under this Agreement shall (except to the extent of any
amounts owed to the Bank under the Reimbursement Agreement), without any further
action, notice or the execution or delivery of any document by or to any party,
be and become subordinated to the pledge granted to the Authority under this
Agreement until such time as the Bank effects the cure of such wrongful dishonor

Mortgage Note A and the Leasehold Note and in the Mortgages will once again be
subordinate to the pledge and rights thereof of the Bank. For purposes hereof
"wrongful dishonor" shall mean a failure by the Bank to honor any drawing made
and presented pursuant to and in strict compliance with the Letter of Credit.

of Mortgage Note A and the Leasehold Note shall have been subordinated to the
Authority's interest as pledgee therein.
(e) Obligations Secured. Mortgage Note A and the Leasehold Note
shall secure (i) on a senior or first priority basis the payment and performance
of (A) the Secured Obligations, and (B) the Mortgage Obligations, in that order,

and performance of the Loan Agreement Obligations. The Termination Payments Note
shall secure the payment and performance of the Termination Payments Obligations
exclusively. Mortgage Note B shall secure the payment and performance of Secured
Obligations B exclusively.

Payments Note to any other party to secure any indebtedness other than the
indebtedness secured by each such Note on the date hereof; provided, however,

Credit Bank (as defined in the Trust Agreement) and/or the Termination Payments

SECTION 7. Usury Laws. This Agreement, the Mortgages and the Notes are
subject to the express condition that at no time shall
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-27-
the Mortgagor be obligated or required to pay interest on the obligations
secured thereby and hereby at a rate which is in excess of the maximum interest
rate which the Mortgagor is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay. If by
the terms of this Agreement, the Mortgages, or any of the Notes, the Mortgagor
is at any time required or obligated to pay interest at a rate in excess of such
maximum rate, the rate of interest shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to
such maximum rate so that no amounts shall be charged which are in excess
thereof and, in the event it should be determined that any excess over such
highest lawful rate has been charged or received, the holder of the Notes shall
promptly refund such excess to the Mortgagor; provided, however, that, if
lawful, any such excess shall be paid by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee as
additional interest (accruing at a rate equal to the maximum legal rate minus
the rate provided for hereunder) during any subsequent period when regular
interest is accruing hereunder at less than the maximum legal rate.
SECTION 8. Further Assurances. The Mortgagor hereby agrees promptly to
execute and deliver such additional agreements and instruments and promptly to
take such additional action as the Bank or the Authority may at any time and
from time to time request in writing in order for the Bank and/or the Authority
to obtain the full benefits and rights granted or purported to be granted by
this Agreement and fully and continually to perfect the pledge and security
interests created hereby.
SECTION 9. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay on the part
of the Pledgees, or either of them, in exercising any right, power or remedy
hereunder or under or in connection with any or all of the Notes or either or
both of the Mortgages shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-28-
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy
hereunder or under or in connection with any or all of the Notes or either or
both of the Mortgages. The remedies herein and in the Mortgages provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity.
SECTION 10. Amendments, etc. No amendment, modification, termination, or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement, Mortgage Note A, the Leasehold Note
or the Mortgages nor consent to any departure by the Mortgagor therefrom shall
in any event be effective unless the same shall be authorized and directed by
the Bank in writing and signed by the Authority, subject to the provisions of
Section 3(b) hereof, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to
or demand on the Mortgagor in any case shall entitle the Mortgagor to any other
or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
SECTION 11. Addresses for Notices, etc. All notices, requests, demands,
directions and other communications hereunder or in connection with the Notes or
the Mortgages shall be in writing (including telegraphic communication) and

SECTION 14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
SECTION 15. Inconsistent Terms. In the event of contradictions or
inconsistencies in the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the terms and
provisions of the Mortgages, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
prevail.
SECTION 16. Insurance.
(a) Prior to the Date of Substantial Completion (as defined in the
Reimbursement Agreement), the Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall keep
the existing structures insured for the benefit of the Authority and the Bank
against loss and damage by Fire, Lightning, Collapse, Earthmovement, Flood,
Tsunami, Boiler and Machinery, and such other standard Extended Coverage perils
as are customarily included under standard "All Risk" policies for other
property and buildings similar to the Mortgaged Property in nature, use,
location, height, and type of construction. The amount of such Insurance
Policy(ies) shall be not less than the full Replacement Cost of the then
existing structures, with the Agreed Amount and Replacement Cost Endorsements
attached, waiving all co-insurance provisions and eliminating the Vacancy and
Unoccupied Clause. In addition, prior to the Date of Substantial Completion, the
Improvements shall be covered under an "All Risk" Builder's Risk/Contract Works
Policy for the 100% Completed Value (replacement cost) of the contract(s) on a
Non-Reporting Form, subject to the same coverages as are required on the
presently existing structures, along with extensions of coverage for "permission
to complete and Occupy," Offsite Storage including Inland and Ocean Transit,
"Hot and Cold" Testing, Increased Cost of Construction and Contingent Liability
from Building Laws. On and after the Date of Substantial Completion, the
Borrower shall secure
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-32-
insurance to cover the Improvements and equipment at the Project against loss or
damage by fire and such risks as are customarily included in Extended Coverage,
and from such other hazards including, without limitation, Flood, Earthmovement,
and Coastal Windstorm, as may be covered by the "All Risk" insurance covering
other property and buildings similar to the Mortgaged Property in nature, use,
location, height and type of construction, in an amount not less than the
greater of (A) full insurable value, or (B) an amount sufficient to prevent the
Borrower from becoming a co-insurer within the terms of the applicable policies.
Said Insurance Policy shall include endorsements for Demolition, Contingent
Liability and Increased Cost of Construction. The term "full insurable value" as
used in this Section shall mean the cost of actual replacement, without
deduction for depreciation, less the cost of excavations, foundations and
footings below the lowest basement floor or, if there be no basement, below the
level of the ground determined as of the Date of Substantial Completion and as
further determined on the date of each renewal or replacement of such Insurance
Policy, as hereinafter set forth. Full insurable value shall be determined by an
appraisal made at least once every three (3) years, by an appraiser, appraisal
company or insurance company selected by the Borrower and approved by the Bank
in its sole discretion, and such determination of full insurable value shall be
binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto. If any Insurance Policy covering
Flood or Earthmovement shall contain annual aggregate limits, such aggregate
limits shall be replenished upon the occurrence of a substantial loss, as
determined by the Bank in its sole discretion. The Insurance Policies described
in subparagraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) above shall provide for deductions of not
more than $10,000 per occurrence for all perils except Flood, Earthmovement, and
Coastal Windstorm, for which deductions of not more than $25,000 per occurrence
may be made.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-33-
(b) The Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain or
cause to be maintained for the benefit of the Authority and the Bank (i) prior
to the Date of Substantial Completion, Soft Costs/Additional Expense Incurred,
Loss of Gross Earnings and/or Loss of Rental Income on an Actual Loss Sustained
Basis for an amount not less than $24,000,000, with an "Extended Period of
Indemnity" Endorsement attached; (ii) upon and after the Date of Substantial
Completion, coverage for Loss of Gross Earnings and/or Loss of Rental Income,
Business Interruption and Additional Expense Incurred Insurance on an Actual
Loss Sustained Basis (if available) in the amount equal to the greater of (A) an
estimate reasonably satisfactory to the Bank of the succeeding year's Gross
Revenues (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement), or (B) $24,000,000 with
the Extended Period of Indemnity Enforcement attached; (iii) upon and after the
installation of any boilers and/or machinery at the Project, Boiler and
Machinery Coverage for Rent Loss (including, without limitation, from both
retail space and nightly room rentals), with an "Extended Period of Indemnity"
and Improvements Loss in such amounts as are usually carried by persons
operating property and buildings similar to the Mortgaged Property in nature,
use, location, height and type of construction.
(c) The Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain or
cause to be maintained at all times (i) General Public Liability Insurance,
including, without limitation, the Broad Form Comprehensive General Liability
Endorsement, with the respective Primary Coverages as follows:
General Aggregate $ 1,000,000 Per Location
Products/Completed Operations $ 1,000,000*
*(2 year Completed Operation
Extension)
Personal & Advertising Injury $ 1,000,000
Each Occurrence (Bodily Injury
and Property Damage) $ 1,000,000
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-34-
Fire Damage Legal $ 50,000
Medical Expense $ 10,000
Stop Gap Liability $ 1,000,000
(ii) Umbrella Liability Coverage in an amount of not less than $40,000,000 per
occurrence and in the aggregate prior to the Date of Substantial Completion and,
thereafter, in an amount of not less than $50,000,000 per occurrence and in the
aggregate or such greater amount as the Bank shall reasonably require; (iii)
Worker's Compensation and Non-Occupational Disability Insurance as respect a
Monopolistic State as required by applicable laws and regulations of the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; (iv) Marina Operator's Legal Liability, Protection
and Indemnity and Marina General Liability; (v) insurance covering pilings,
piers, wharves and docks, and environmental impairment coverage (if available)
with respect to the marina operation; and (v) such other types and amounts of
insurance with respect to the Mortgaged Property and the operation thereof which
are commonly maintained in the case of other property and buildings similar to
the Mortgaged Property in nature, use, location, height and type of
construction, as may from time to time be required by the Authority and the Bank
(including, without limitation, Automobile Liability Insurance in amounts
reasonably required by the Bank from time to time).
(d) All Insurance Policies shall be issued by an insurer admitted
and licensed to do business in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico with an A.M. Best
Rating of AX or better and shall be otherwise satisfactory to the Bank in form
and content. The Property and Business Interruption Insurance Policies shall
contain the Standard Mortgagee Non-Contribution Clause Endorsement or its
equivalent endorsement satisfactory to the Bank, naming the Bank as First
Mortgagee and providing the Bank (except in the case of General Liability and
other Liability and Worker's Compensation) as the person to whom all payments
made by such insurance company
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-35-
shall be paid and with whom all claims shall be adjusted, except as otherwise
provided in Section 18(b) hereof. All Liability Insurance Policies shall name
the Bank, the Authority and the Trustee as Additional Insureds according to the
their respective interests. Without the Bank's prior written consent, the
Borrower shall not carry separate or additional insurance coverage concurrent in
form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Agreement
or the Reimbursement Agreement. Without the Bank's prior written consent, the
Borrower shall not name any Person as a named insured or loss payee under any
Insurance Policy without the Bank's prior written consent. The Borrower shall
pay the premiums for the Insurance Policies as the same become due and payable.
The Borrower shall deliver original binders and certified copies of the
insurance Policies to the Bank and to the Authority as further security for the
Borrower's performance of the terms and conditions contained herein, provided
that the Bank and the Authority shall not be deemed by reason of the custody of
such Insurance Policies to have knowledge of the contents thereof. In the event
of a foreclosure of any or all of the Notes or either or both of the Mortgages,
the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property will succeed to all of the rights of the
Borrower, including the rights to all unearned premiums paid, with respect to
the Insurance Policies, to the extent assignable. The Borrower also shall
deliver to the Bank and the Authority, within 10 days of such party's request, a
certificate of insurance issued by the Borrower's insurance agent/broker setting
forth the particulars as to all such Insurance Policies, that all premiums due
thereon have been paid and that the same are in full force and effect. Not later
than 30 days prior to the expiration date of each of the Insurance Policies, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Bank and the Authority original binders and
certified copies of a renewal policy or policies marked "premium paid" or
accompanied by other evidence of payment of premium satisfactory to the Bank and
the Authority.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-36-
(e) Each Insurance Policy to be carried hereunder shall contain a
provision whereby the insurer (i) agrees that such policy shall not be cancelled
or modified, and shall not fail to be renewed, without at least 60 days' prior
written notice to the Authority and the Bank, (ii) waives any right to claim any
premiums and commissions against the Authority and the Bank and (iii) provides
that the Authority and the Bank are permitted to make payments to effect the
confirmation of such Policy upon notice of cancellation due to nonpayment of
premiums. In the event any Insurance Policy (except for general public and other
liability, boiler and machinery explosion liability and workers' compensation
insurance) shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such Policy shall
provide that with respect to the interest of the Authority and the Bank, such
Insurance Policy shall not be invalidated by and shall insure the Authority and
the Bank regardless of (A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation
of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such Policy by any named
insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the Mortgaged Property for purposes more
hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, (C) any foreclosure or other
action or proceeding taken by the Authority or the Bank pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, any or all of the Notes, or either or both of the
Mortgages, or (D) any change in title to or ownership of all or any of the
Mortgaged Property.
(f) Any insurance maintained pursuant to this Section 16 may be
evidenced by blanket Insurance Policies covering the Mortgaged Property and
other properties or assets of the Borrower or any Affiliated Person, provided
that any such policy shall specify the portion, if less than all, of the total
coverage of such Policy that is allocated to the Mortgaged Property and shall in
all other respects comply with the requirements of this Section
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-37-
16. The Bank, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether such blanket
Policies provide sufficient limits of insurance.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at
any time the Pledgees are not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance
required hereunder is maintained in full force and effect, the Pledgees shall
have the right, upon notice to the Borrower, to take such action as the Pledgees
deem necessary to protect their interests in the Mortgaged Property, including,
without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as the Pledgees
deem appropriate, and all expenses incurred by the Pledgees in connection with
such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be
paid by the Borrower promptly after demand and be secured by this Agreement and
by the Mortgages.
SECTION 17. Compliance with Insurance Requirements. The Mortgagor, at its
sole cost and expense, will comply and cause compliance of the Mortgaged
Property and the operation, maintenance and use thereof with all Insurance
Requirements, whether or not compliance therewith shall require structural
changes in or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Mortgaged Property or
any part thereof.
SECTION 18. Damage or Destruction.
(a) In case of a Casualty, the Borrower will immediately give notice
thereof to the Authority and the Bank generally describing the nature and extent
of such Casualty and setting forth the Borrower's best estimate of the cost of
Restoration, and the Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly
commence and diligently complete or cause to be commenced and diligently
completed, the Restoration in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance
with all legal Requirements.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-38-
(b) The Bank shall be entitled to receive all insurance proceeds
payable on account of a Casualty. The Borrower hereby irrevocably assigns,
transfers and sets over to the Bank all rights of the Borrower to any such
proceeds, award or payment and irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Bank, in
the name of the Borrower or otherwise, to file for and prosecute in its own name
what would otherwise be the Borrower's claim for any such proceeds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Default, Event of Default or
Termination Payments Event of Default shall have occurred and shall then be
continuing and provided the Borrower promptly files all claims and diligently
prosecutes same, the Borrower shall have the right to file, adjust, settle and
prosecute any claim for such proceeds; provided that the Borrower shall not
agree to any adjustment or settlement of any such claim payable with respect to
a Major Casualty without the Bank's prior written consent. The Borrower shall
pay promptly after demand all costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the Bank in connection with a Casualty
and the seeking and obtaining of any insurance proceeds, award or payment with
respect thereto.
(c) In the event of a Major Casualty, the Net Proceeds shall be
held, at the bank's option, by the Bank as additional collateral for the Secured
Obligations, the Loan Agreement Obligations, the Mortgage Obligations, the
Termination Payments Obligations and the Secured Obligations B and shall be
applied or dealt with by the Bank as follows:
(i) if the Release Conditions (as hereinafter defined) are
satisfied, all net Proceeds shall be made available to the Borrower to be
applied towards the cost of the Restoration in accordance with paragraph (e) of
this Section 18; and
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-39-
(ii) if the Release Conditions are not satisfied, all Net
Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 20 hereof.
(d) In case of a Major Casualty, all Net Proceeds shall be applied
as provided in clause (i) of paragraph (c) of this Section 18 if all of the
following conditions are satisfied or otherwise waived by the Bank
(collectively, the "Release Conditions"):
(i) no Default, Event of Default or Termination Payments Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(ii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Authority and
the bank within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the Major Casualty, a
notice of the Borrower's desire to undertake the Restoration of the
Improvements;
(iii) the Borrower shall have demonstrated to the satisfaction
of the bank that the Restoration of the Improvement can be completed at least
six months prior to the then-current Expiration Date (as defined in the
Reimbursement Agreement);
(iv) the Borrower shall have demonstrated to the satisfaction
of the Bank that sufficient funds are available to the Borrower through revenues
and/or business interruption insurance maintained pursuant to Section 16 hereof,
and/or a cash deposit, letter of credit or similar cash-equivalent security
(which in the case of a letter of credit or similar cash-equivalent security
shall be satisfactory to the Bank as to form, content and issuer) and which
shall be for the benefit of the Bank, to pay all amounts estimated to be paid
with respect to the Secured Obligations, Secured Obligations B, the Loan
Agreement Obligations, any debt service with respect to the GDB Loan, and all
other estimated operating expenses with respect to the Project during the period
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-40-
estimated by the Borrower and approved by the Bank as necessary for the
completion of the Restoration;
(v) in the event that the estimated cost of Restoration is
greater than 25% of the full replacement cost of the Improvements (as specified
in the Borrower's casualty Insurance Policy), the Borrower shall have provided
the Bank with a guaranty of completion of the Restoration satisfactory to the
Bank as to form, content and guarantor which, among other things, ensures that
sufficient funds are and will be available to complete the Restoration; and
(vi) to the extent, in the Bank's judgment, that the Net
Proceeds are insufficient to pay the costs of the Restoration, the Borrower
shall have provided the Bank with a cash deposit, letter of credit, or similar
cash-equivalent security in the amount of such deficiency (which in the case of
a letter of credit or similar cash-equivalent security shall be satisfactory to
the Bank as to form, content and issuer).
(e) Provided that no Default, Event of Default or Termination
Payments Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, upon the
occurrence of a partial destruction of the Improvements that does not constitute
a Major Casualty or upon the occurrence of a Major Casualty in connection with
which the Release Conditions have been met, the Net Proceeds shall be paid over
to the Borrower for the Restoration of the Improvements. The Net Proceeds shall
be disbursed substantially in accordance with the requirements of Article 9 of
the Reimbursement Agreement such that the Net Proceeds shall be advanced in the
same manner and subject to the same conditions as the disbursement of the
proceeds of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Date of
Substantial Completion, (i) the Net Proceeds from a Casualty that
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-41-
does not constitute a Major Casualty shall be paid over to the Borrower for the
Restoration of the Improvements without any requirement that the Borrower comply
with disbursement procedures, and (ii) the Net Proceeds from a Major Casualty
shall be disbursed in accordance with procedures to be established by the Bank
appropriate to the Restoration of the Improvements.
(f) All costs and expenses incurred by the Authority and the Bank in
connection with making the Net Proceeds or Net Restoration Awards available for
the Restoration (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses and
fees and expenses of the Bank's Consultant, as defined in the Reimbursement
Agreement) shall be paid by the Borrower. Any Net Proceeds or Net Restoration
Awards remaining after the Restoration and the payment in full of all costs
incurred in connection with the Restoration shall be applied to the repayment of
any outstanding obligations of the Borrower under the Reimbursement Agreement
(including without limitation, the obligation to pay any Termination Payments
and any Secured Obligations B), the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or this
Agreement, in such order as the bank shall determine; provided, however, that
any balance of the Net Proceeds or Net Restoration Awards remaining after such
application shall be applied to the prepayment of the principal of and interest
on the Loan as required pursuant to Section 8.02(e) of the Loan Agreement.
SECTION 19. Taking of the Mortgaged Property.
(a) In case of a Taking or the commencement of any proceedings or
negotiations that might result in a Taking, the Borrower immediately will give
notice thereof to the Authority and the Bank generally describing the nature and
extent of such Taking or the nature of such proceedings or negotiations and the
nature and extent of the Taking which might result therefrom. The Authority and
the Bank shall be entitled hereunder to all awards or
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-42-
compensation payable on account of a Taking. The Borrower hereby irrevocably
assigns, transfers and sets over to the Authority and the Bank all rights of the
Borrower to any such awards or compensation and irrevocably authorizes and
empowers the Authority and the Bank, in the name of the Borrower or otherwise,
to collect and receive any such award or compensation and to file and prosecute
any and all claims for any such awards or compensation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as no Default, Event of Default or Termination Payments Event
of Default shall have occurred and shall then be continuing and provided the
Borrower promptly files and diligently prosecutes such claim or claims, the
Borrower shall have the right to prosecute and file any such claim or claims and
the Borrower shall cause any such award or compensation to be collected and
promptly paid over to the Bank; provided, that, the Borrower shall not agree to
or accept any award or compensation without the Authority's and the Bank's prior
written consent. The Authority and the Bank may participate in such proceedings
or negotiations, and the Borrower will deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Authority and the Bank all instruments requested by the Authority and the Bank
to permit such participation, provided that the Authority and the Bank shall be
under no obligation to question the amount of the award or compensation.
Although it is hereby expressly agreed that the same shall not be necessary, in
any event, the Borrower shall, upon demand of the Authority and the Bank, make,
execute and deliver any and all assignments and other instruments sufficient for
the purpose of assigning any such award or compensation to the Authority and the
Bank, free and clear of any encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever other
than any junior encumbrances arising as a result of the GDB Mortgage or any KGC
Mortgage(as such terms are defined in the Reimbursement Agreement). The Borrower
will pay promptly after demand all costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses and fees and
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-43-
expenses of the Bank's Consultant) incurred by the Authority and the Bank in
connection with any Taking and seeking and obtaining any award or payment on
account thereof.
(b) In the case of a Taking such that, in the Bank's judgment, the
Project can be restored substantially to its value and usefulness as it existed
prior to such Taking, then, the Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense,
promptly commence and diligently complete the Restoration in a good and
workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all Legal Requirements.
(c) All Net Restoration Awards shall be held, at the Bank's option,
by the Bank as additional collateral for the Secured Obligations, the Secured
Obligations B, the Loan Agreement Obligations, the Mortgage Obligations and the
Termination Payments Obligations, and shall be applied or dealt with by the Bank
as follows:
(i) Provided that no Default, Event of Default or Termination
Payment Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, in the
case of a Taking of the nature referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 19,
and, to the extent necessary thereunder, if the Release Conditions are
satisfied, all Net Restoration Awards shall be applied to pay the cost of
Restoration of the portion of the Improvements remaining after such Taking, such
application to be effected substantially in the same manner as provided in
paragraph (e) of Section 18 hereof with respect to Net Proceeds and the balance,
if any, of such Net Restoration Awards shall be applied in the manner set forth
in Section 18(g) hereof.
(ii) In the case of any Taking other than a Taking of the
nature referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 19, all
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-44-
Net Restoration Awards actually received by the Bank shall be applied in
accordance with Section 20 hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in
the case of a Taking such that, in the Bank's judgment, the Project is an
economically viable architectural whole notwithstanding such Taking, the
Borrower shall have no obligation to commence or complete Restoration and all
Net Restoration Awards shall be applied in the order specified in Section 20
hereof.
SECTION 20. Application of Proceeds Upon Casualty or Substantial Taking.
Upon a Casualty, if the disposition of the Net Proceeds is governed by clause
(ii) of paragraph (c) of Section 18 hereof or upon a Taking, if the disposition
of the Net Restoration Awards is governed by clause (ii) of paragraph (c) or
paragraph (d) of Section 19 hereof, the Bank shall have the option, in the
Bank's sole discretion, to (a) make available the Net Proceeds or the Net
Restoration Awards, as the case may be, to the Borrower for Restoration in the
manner provided in paragraph (e) of Section 18 hereof or (b) apply such Net
Proceeds or Net Restoration Awards to the payment of any outstanding obligations
of the Borrower under the Reimbursement Agreement (including, without
limitation, the obligation to pay any Termination Payments or any Secured
Obligations B), the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or this Agreement; provided,
however, that any balance of the Net Proceeds or Net Restoration Awards
remaining after such application shall be applied to the prepayment of the
principal of and interest on the Loan as required in accordance with Section
8.02(e) of the Loan Agreement.
If the Bank shall receive and retain any Net Proceeds or Net Restoration
Awards, in trust or otherwise, the indebtedness secured by this Agreement shall
be reduced only by the amount thereof
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-45-
received and retained by the Bank and actually applied by the Bank in reduction
of the indebtedness secured by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the
bank shall release the proceeds of any business interruption insurance
maintained hereunder to the Borrower provided that the Borrower satisfies the
conditions set forth in Sections 18(d)(i), (ii) and (iv) herein and provided,
further, that the Bank shall retain that portion of such insurance proceeds that
the Bank deems necessary to pay all amounts estimated to become payable with
respect to the Secured Obligations, the Secured Obligations B, and to pay any
debt service with respect to the GDB Loan during the period estimated by the
Borrower and approved to the Bank as necessary for the completion of the
Restoration, the balance of such insurance proceeds to be released in accordance
with the other terms and conditions set forth herein, as applicable.
SECTION 21. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents
and warrants to the Pledgees as follows:

(a) The Mortgagor, by its execution and delivery hereof, is mortgaging
to the Mortgagee all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged

(b) The Mortgagor is the sole and valid owner of the Improvements
located on the Land; the Mortgagor has full right, power and authority to
mortgage the Mortgaged Property to the Mortgagee pursuant hereto; the Mortgagor
knows of no adverse claim to the title and/or possession of the Mortgagor in or

proceeding or settlement in lieu thereof.
(c) The Mortgagor, at its sole cost and expense, will warrant and
defend to the Mortgagee such title to the Mortgaged Property, and the lien of
the Mortgagee thereon and therein against all claims and demands and will
maintain and preserve such lien and will keep this
18
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Mortgage a valid and direct mortgage lien upon the Mortgaged Property, subject
only to the Permitted Encumbrances and prior, at all times, to all Occupancy
Leases.
(d) The Mortgagor will pay, or cause to be paid, all charges for all
public and private utility services at any time rendered to, or the payment of
which is the obligation of, the Mortgagor in connection with the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, and will do all other things required for the
maintenance and continuance of all such services.
(e) It has taken all necessary and proper action, which has not been
modified or revoked, to enter into this Mortgage and the execution and delivery
of this Mortgage by the Persons who have signed this Mortgage on behalf of the
Mortgagor have been duly qualified and are sufficient action to constitute this
Mortgage as a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Mortgagor.
FIFTH: Maintenance of the Mortgage Property. The Mortgagor will at all
times maintain, preserve and keep, or cause to be maintained, preserved or kept,
all and each part of the Land and the Improvements in good repair, working order
and condition, such that the Mortgaged Property will be maintained and operated
as part of a first-class destination resort. The Mortgagor will supply the
Mortgaged Property, and keep the same or cause the same to be kept and supplied,
with all necessary supplies and equipment and make all needful and proper
19
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
repairs, renewals and replacements thereto, whether interior or exterior,
structural or non-structural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen.
All such repairs, renewals and replacements shall be at least equal in quality,
value and class to the original Improvements. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Mortgagor covenants that it will not cause or permit to
suffer damage, deterioration, loss or waste to the Mortgaged Property, other
than that resulting from normal wear and tear. The Mortgagor will not alter, add
to, remove or demolish any building, structure or property forming part of the
Mortgaged Property without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee, except to
the extent permitted in any pledge agreement pursuant to which any of the
Mortgage Notes is pledged or assigned.
SIXTH: Assignment of Leases and Rents. The Mortgagor hereby absolutely and
irrevocably mortgages and assigns to the Mortgagee all rents, income and other
sums due to the Mortgagor under each Occupancy Lease now existing or hereafter
entered into, together with the right to collect and receive the same provided
if and so long as no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagor shall have the right to collect and
receive such rents and other sums for its own uses and purposes. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, all such rents and other sums shall be
collected and held by the Mortgagee to be applied as deemed appropriate in the
sole
20
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
discretion of the Mortgagee to the obligations secured hereunder and in such
other manner as is permitted pursuant to the terms hereof and of any pledge
agreement pursuant to which any of the Mortgage Notes may be pledged or
assigned. The Mortgagee shall notify the Mortgagor of its exercise of its right
to collect rent and other sums at the same time that it notifies any tenants
thereof; provided, however, that failure on the part of the Mortgagee to give
such notice to the Mortgagor shall not operate as a waiver of the right of the
Mortgagee to collect and receive all rents, income and other sums due to the
Mortgagor under each Occupancy Lease. The assignment of rents, income and other
benefits contained herein shall constitute an absolute assignment, subject,
however, to the conditional permission given herein to the Mortgagor to collect
and use such rents, income and other benefits. The foregoing assignment shall be
fully operative without any further action on the part of either party and the
Mortgagee shall be entitled, at its option, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default hereunder, to all rents, income and other benefits from the Mortgaged
Property, whether or not the Mortgagee takes possession of the Mortgaged
Property. The Mortgagor hereby further grants to the Mortgagee and its agent the
right, at the Mortgagee's option, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to
(i) enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of
collecting said rents, income and other benefits, (ii) dispossess by the usual
summary proceedings any
21
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
lessee defaulting in its obligations pursuant to its Occupancy Lease beyond any
applicable grace and/or notice period, (iii) let the Mortgaged Property, or any
part thereof, to the extent permitted by law, and (iv) apply such rents, income
and other benefits, after payment of all necessary charges and expenses, on
account of the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby or by any pledge
agreements pursuant to which any of the Mortgage Notes may be pledged or
assigned. Such assignment and grant shall continue in effect until the
indebtedness and other sums secured by this Mortgage, and by any pledge
agreements pursuant to which the Mortgage Notes may be pledged or assigned, are
paid in full, the execution of this Mortgage constituting and evidencing the
irrevocable consent of the Mortgagor to the entry upon and taking possession of
the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagee pursuant to such grant. Neither the
exercise of any rights under this Paragraph SIXTH by the Mortgagee nor the
application of any such rents, income or other benefits to the indebtedness and
other sums secured hereby shall cure or waive any Default, Event of Default or
notice of Default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant hereto or to any
such notice, but shall be cumulative of all other rights and remedies.
SEVENTH: Insurance. As is provided in Article One Hundred Sixty (160) of
the Mortgage and Property Registry Act of Puerto Rico Act Number One Hundred
Ninety-Eight (198) of August ten (10), nineteen
22
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
hundred seventy-nine (1979), Thirty Laws of Puerto Rico Annotated Two Thousand
Five Hundred Fifty-Six (30 L.P.R.A. 2556), this Mortgage shall be extensive to,
and shall cover, all indemnities to which the Mortgagor may be entitled under
any policy of insurance covering the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and
the Mortgagee shall be entitled to receive directly from the insurance
underwriter(s) all payments which become due under any such policy(ies) of
insurance unless otherwise provided in any pledge agreements under which any of
the Mortgage Notes are pledged or assigned. Such payments shall be applied in
the manner provided in any pledge agreements or other instrument under which the
Mortgage Notes are pledged or assigned.
EIGHTH: Additional Advances. The Mortgagee, without consent of or demand
upon the Mortgagor and without waiving or releasing any obligation or Default or
Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time advance
such funds as may in the Mortgagee's judgment be needed for the purposes of (i)
paying real estate taxes assessed against the Mortgaged Property which the
Mortgagor has failed to pay, (ii) maintaining insurance coverage on the
Mortgaged Property as required hereunder or otherwise as set forth in any pledge
agreements pursuant to which any of the Mortgage Notes have been pledged or
assigned, (iii) complying with any Legal Requirements relating to environmental
matters with which the Mortgagor has failed to comply
23
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
or (iv) paying any other expenses which the Mortgagee reasonably determines to
be necessary to preserve the value of the Mortgaged Property, and the Mortgagor
may, in such event, enter upon the Mortgaged Property for such purpose and take
all action thereon that it considers necessary or appropriate, and may take such
other and further action as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such
purposes. All sums so advanced or paid by the Mortgagee and all costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) so
incurred, together with interest thereon at the rate provided for in the
Mortgage Note from the date of payment or incurring, shall constitute additional
indebtedness secured by this Mortgage and shall be paid by the Mortgagor to the
Mortgagee on demand, regardless of the due date of the remainder of the
indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.
NINTH: Further Assurances; Additional Security. The Mortgagor, at its
expense, will execute, acknowledge, deliver and record all such instruments and
take all such action as the Mortgagee from time to time may request better to
assure the Mortgagee that the properties and rights hereby mortgaged and
assigned or intended to have been mortgaged and assigned have so been. Without
notice to or consent of the Mortgagor, and without impairment of the lien of and
rights under this Mortgage, the Mortgagee may take from (but the Mortgagor shall
not be obligated to furnish to) the Mortgagor or from any other Person or
24
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Persons (as hereinafter defined) additional security for all or any of the
Mortgage Notes or for the obligations of the Mortgagor secured by the assignment
or pledge of any of the Mortgage Notes; and neither the giving of this Mortgage
nor the acceptance of any such additional security shall prevent the Mortgagee
from resorting first to such additional security, or to the security created by
this Mortgage, in either case without affecting the Mortgagee's lien and rights
under this Mortgage.
TENTH: Foreclosure Valuation. In compliance with Article One Hundred
Seventy-Nine (179) of the Mortgage and Property Registry Act of Puerto Rico [Act
Number One Hundred Ninety-Eight (198) of August ten (10), nineteen hundred
seventy-nine (1979) Thirty Laws of Puerto Rico Annotated Two Thousand Five
Hundred Seventy-Five (30 L.P.R.A. 2575)], the Mortgagor hereby declares and
agrees for the purpose of foreclosure that the value of the Mortgaged Property
is the amount of ONE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($150,000,000).
ELEVENTH: Foreclosure. In the event that any of the Mortgage Notes is
assigned or pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Mortgagor as collateral
security for the payment of any other note or debt of the Mortgagor or of any
other Person, the Mortgagor agrees that:
(a) The Mortgagee may foreclose this Mortgage and may exercise all
other rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided
25
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
herein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise,
without first foreclosing the pledge or other lien so constituted upon the
respective Mortgage Note, to the same extent and with the same force and effect
as if such Mortgage Note had been assigned or transferred directly to the
Mortgagee rather than assigned or pledged as collateral security, provided that
nothing contained in this paragraph ELEVENTH shall relieve the Mortgagee from
the obligation to comply with thee terms of any pledge agreements or other
instruments under which any Mortgage Note is assigned or pledged.
(b) The Mortgagor will not exercise any right which it might have to
cancel the record of the Mortgage by reason of lapse of time counted from the
date of the constitution of the Mortgage either under the provisions of Article
One Hundred Forty-Five (145) of the Mortgage and Property Registry Act of Puerto
Rico [Act Number One Hundred Ninety-Eight (198) of August ten (10), nineteen
hundred seventy- nine (1979), Thirty Laws of Puerto Rico Annotated Two Thousand
Four Hundred Sixty-Nine (30 L.P.R.A. 2469)] or otherwise and further agrees,
whenever requested by the Mortgagee, to execute and file in the appropriate
Registry, at the Mortgagor's sole cost and expense, any and all supplemental
instruments which may be necessary or convenient in the judgment of the
Mortgagee for the preservation of the lien of this Mortgage until full payment
of the notes or debts so secured by the liens
26
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
of the Mortgage Notes and full payment of any obligations secured by any pledges
of the Mortgage Notes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Mortgagor agrees that, unless the Mortgagee shall consent in writing to the
cancellation of the Mortgage at an earlier date, the Mortgage shall be
conclusively presumed to subsist for a period of twenty-five (25) years from the
date of its constitution; and the Mortgagor does hereby waive any right which it
might otherwise have under said Article One Hundred Forty-Five (145) of the
Mortgage and Property Registry Act to apply for an earlier cancellation of the
record of the Mortgage.
(c) The Mortgagee may upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
hereunder or under any pledge agreement pursuant to which any of the Mortgage
Notes has been pledged or assigned, petition the court having jurisdiction over
the Mortgaged Property to appoint a receiver for the Mortgaged Property,
including all rents, issues and profits therefrom, and said receiver shall have
the broadest powers and faculties permitted to be granted to a receiver by the
court and his appointment shall be made by the court as a matter of absolute
right granted to the Mortgagee without taking into consideration the value of
the Mortgaged Property or the solvency of the Mortgagor or of any other party to
the action, and the Mortgagor hereby consents to the appointment of such a
receiver and agrees not to oppose the same, and waives any requirement for such
a receiver to post a bond of any kind.

any covenant, agreement or term binding upon the Mortgagor obtained in this

provided for in any such document; provided, however, that if such failure

behalf of the Mortgagor in or pursuant to this Mortgage, any pledge agreement

representation or other statement is curable, such incorrect or misleading
nature shall not be an Event of Default hereunder so long as the Mortgagor

hereunder, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, such circumstances shall
constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

In the event any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Mortgagee by
reason of any such occurrence, the Mortgagor upon request by the Mortgagee will,
at the Mortgagor's expense, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or
cause the same to be resisted or defended, either by counsel designated by the
Mortgagor and approved by the Mortgagee, or where such occurrence is covered by

the Mortgagor under this paragraph Twentieth shall survive the termination or
satisfaction of this Mortgage.

foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof shall be applied
in accordance with the provisions of any pledge agreements pursuant to which the
Mortgage Notes may be pledged or assigned, or if no such agreements exist, the

expenses (including without limitation, attorney's fees and expenses) of
collection, including the costs and expenses of any foreclosure or sale of the

liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Mortgagee with respect to such
foreclosure;
Second: All amounts disbursed for costs incurred by the Mortgagee, other

Mortgagor secured by the Mortgage Notes, under this Mortgage, any pledge
agreements pursuant to which any of the Mortgage Notes may be pledged or
assigned or any documents secured thereby, plus accrued interest thereon;
Third: All amounts of interest and principal due and unpaid on all

Mortgagee provided for in this Deed shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall
be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Deed
or in any agreement between the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee secured by the
Mortgage Notes, or in
51
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
any pledge agreements pursuant to which the Mortgage Notes have been pledged or
assigned, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Mortgagee of any
one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Deed or in
any agreement between the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee secured by the Mortgage
Notes, or in any pledge agreements pursuant to which the Mortgage Notes have
been pledged or assigned, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by
the Mortgagee of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies. All rights,
remedies and powers provided herein may be exercised only to the extent that the
exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and are
intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this
Mortgage invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or
filed under the provision of any applicable law. If any provision of this Deed
shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of other
provisions of this Deed shall in no way be affected thereby.
TWENTY-THIRD: No Waiver of Remedies. No failure by the Mortgagee to insist
upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power
or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any
such term or of any such breach. No
52
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Deed or the Mortgage constituted
herein, which shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other
then exiting or subsequent breach. Any action, suit or proceeding brought by the
Mortgagee against the Mortgagor pursuant to any of the terms of this Mortgage or
otherwise, and any claim made by the Mortgagee hereunder may be compromised,
withdrawn or otherwise dealt with by the Mortgagee without any notice to or
approval of the Mortgagor. Nothing contained in this Deed shall constitute any
consent or request by Mortgagee, express or implied, for the performance of any
labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in
respect of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, nor as giving Mortgagor
any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any
labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such
fashion as would permit the making of any claim against Mortgagee in respect
thereof or any claim that any lien based on the performance of such labor or
services or the furnishings of any such materials or other property is prior to
the lien of this Mortgage.
TWENTY-FOURTH: Notices. All notices to and demands and requests upon or
from the Mortgagor under this Deed shall be made in the manner called for in any
pledge agreements pursuant to which the Mortgage Notes have been pledged or
assigned; otherwise, such notices shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been properly given or

return receipt requested, addressed to the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee, as the
case may be, at such place as the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee may have furnished

TWENTY-FIFTH: Interim Sums. The Mortgagee will have the right from time to
time to sue for any sums whether for interest, damages for failure to pay
principal or any installment thereof, taxes, or any other sums required to be
paid under the terms of this Mortgage, any pledge agreements pursuant to which
the Mortgage Notes have been pledged or assigned or any other related documents
as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the principal sum or
any other sum evidenced by any of the Mortgage Note and secured by this Mortgage
becomes due and without prejudice to the right of the Mortgagee thereafter to
bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, as a consequence of a
Default or event of Default existing at the time such earlier action was
commenced.
TWENTY-SIXTH: No Credits on Account of the Debt. The Mortgagor will not
claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the
indebtedness secured by this Mortgage for any part of the Impositions assessed

<PAGE>
thereof and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the taxable
value of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, by reason of this Mortgage
or the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.

representatives designated by the Mortgagee to visit and inspect the Mortgaged

other times, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, or as
otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of any pledge agreement pursuant to
which any of the Mortgage Notes may have been pledged or assigned. The Mortgagee
shall not have any duty to make any such inspection and shall not incur any
liability or obligation for not making any such inspection or, once having
undertaken any such inspection, for making the inspection, not making the same
carefully or properly, or for not completing the same; nor shall the fact that
such inspection may not have been made by the Mortgagee relieve the Mortgagor of
any obligations that it may otherwise have under this Mortgage.
TWENTY-EIGHTH: Actions and Proceedings. Except as otherwise provided in any
pledge agreements
55
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
pursuant to which the Mortgage Notes may have been pledged or assigned, the

brought with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and to bring any action or
proceeding, in the name and on behalf of the Mortgagor, which the Mortgagee, in
its discretion, feels should be brought to protect its interest in the Mortgaged
Property, provided that unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing at the time the Mortgagee first appears in or brings any such action
or proceeding, prior to the Mortgagee's appearance in or bringing of any such
action or proceeding, the Mortgagee shall give the Mortgagor notice of the
Mortgagee's intention with respect thereto.
TWENTY NINTH: Officers of Mortgagee Not Liable. All covenants,
stipulations, promises, agreements and obligations of the Mortgagee contained

individual capacity, and no recourse shall be had for any
56
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
claim based thereon or hereunder against any member of the governing body of the
Mortgagee or any officer, agent, servant or employee of the Mortgagee.

employee of the Mortgagee.
THIRTY-FIRST: Mortgagee Not Liable. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Deed, (a) the Mortgagee shall not be liable to the Mortgagor or any other

action and (ii) is assured of payment of or reimbursement for any expenses in
such action, and (b) except with respect to any action for specific performance
or any action in the nature of a prohibitory or mandatory injunction, neither

for any action taken by it or by its officers, servants, agents or employees, or
for any
57
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
failure to take action under this Deed. In acting under this Deed, or in

the correction of any default of the Mortgagor without the consent of the
Trustee to such waiver by the Trustee and by any pledgees under any such pledge
agreement.
THIRTY-THIRD. Waiver of Moratorium and Redemption. The Mortgagor, to the
full extent that it may lawfully do so, agrees that it will not at any time
insist upon, plead or in any way take advantage of and hereby waives any
redemption or moratorium law now or hereafter in force and effect which would
prevent or hinder the enforcement of the provisions of this Deed or any rights
or
58
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
remedies the Mortgagee may have hereunder or by law.
THIRTY-FOURTH: Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Mortgage, no recourse shall be had, whether by levy
or execution or otherwise, for the payment of the principal of or interest on,
or other amounts owed hereunder or under any of the Mortgage Notes, or for any
claim based on this Mortgage or in respect thereof, against any partner of the
Mortgagor or any predecessor, successor or affiliate of any such partner or any
of their assets (other than from the interest of such partner in the Mortgagor),
or against any principal, partner, shareholder, officer, director, agent or
employee of any such partner (other than from the interest of any such person in
such partner), nor shall any such persons be personally liable for any such
amount or claims, or liable for any deficiency judgment based thereon or with
respect thereto, it being expressly understood that the sole remedies of the

against the Mortgagor, of all the liabilities, obligations and undertakings
contained in this Mortgage; (B) this paragraph Thirty-Fourth shall not be
applicable to a breach by any person of any independent obligation to the

<PAGE>

7.
charges, encumbrances, encroachments, reservations, restrictions, defects or
claims of any kind, with the exception of any specific liens or easements
described in paragraph TWENTY SECOND, and comply with all statutes and
regulations relating thereto. The parties state that since the Mortgage Note
collaterally secures a loan to promote and develop the economy, the original of
this deed and its certified copy shall be exempt from canceling internal revenue
stamps, as otherwise required by law and also exempt from the payment of the
recording rights thereof in the Registry of the Property. The Mortgagee will
reimburse the authorizing notary any internal revenue stamps that it may be
required to cancel in the original and/or copy of this deed. The Mortgagor will
execute, protocolize, deliver and record all such other instruments and take all
such other action as the Mortgagee from time to time may reasonably request for
the purpose of further assuring to the Mortgagee the properties and rights now
or hereafter subjected to the lien of the mortgage lien hereby constituted or
intended so to be. In the event that any Registrar of Property to whom a
certified copy of this deed shall be presented for recordation shall reject the
same for any reason or shall record this deed against the Mortgage Premises,
junior to any other, lien or encumbrance other than those specifically described
in paragraph TWENTY SECOND hereof, then upon such rejection becoming final and
beyond appeal, the debt evidenced by the Mortgage Note shall become totally due
and the Mortgagee may proceed to its collection judicially.

<PAGE>
8.
Mortgaged Premises is appraised at the sum stated under the title "FORECLOSURE
VALUATION" of paragraph TWENTY THIRD hereof and the Mortgagor waives any new
appraisal.
SIXTH: ADDITIONAL COVENANTS.
The Mortgagor further covenants and agrees with the Mortgagee as follows:
A. The Mortgagor will pay promptly the principal of and interest on,
and all other obligations set forth in the Mortgage Note, at the place, in the
currency, at the times and in the manner herein and in the Mortgage Note
provided.
B. Mortgagor will pay as they become due all: Taxes, assessments, water
rates, sewer rentals and other governmental or municipal or public dues,
charges, fines and other impositions and premiums on fire, rental value, and
other insurance.
Upon prior notice to Mortgagor, the Mortgagee shall have the right to
make any such payment notwithstanding that at the time any such tax, assessment,
charge or imposition is then being protested or contested by Mortgagor, unless,
upon not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof, the Mortgagor
shall have notified the Mortgagee, in writing, of such protest or contest, in
which event, as the case may be, the Mortgagee shall make such payment under
protest in the manner prescribed by law or shall withhold such payment;
provided, however, that such contest shall during its pendency preclude
enforcement of collection and the sale of the Mortgaged Premises in satisfaction
of such tax, assessment, charge or imposition.
SEVENTH: TAXES.
The Mortgagor will keep the Mortgaged Premises free from statutory liens of
every kind; will pay, before delinquency and before any penalty for

nonpayment attaches thereto, all ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates,
sewer rentals and other governmental or municipal or public dues, charges, fines
or impositions which are or may be levied against the Mortgaged Premises or any
part thereof, except when payment for all such items has theretofore been made
under paragraph Sixth B; will deliver to the Mortgagee, at least ten (10) days
before delinquency, receipted bills evidencing payment therefor; and will pay in
full, under protest, and in the manner provided by statute any tax, assessment,
rate, rental, charge, fine or imposition aforesaid which the Mortgagor may
desire to contest. In the event of the passage, after the date of this deed, of
any law effective in Puerto Rico, deducting from the value of land for the
purposes of taxation of any lien thereon, or changing in any way the laws for
the taxation of mortgages or debts secured by mortgage for Commonwealth or local
purpose, or the manner of the collection of any such taxes so as to impose a tax
upon or otherwise to affect the mortgage hereby constituted, or upon the
rendition by any court of competent jurisdiction of a decision that any
undertaking by the Mortgagor as in this paragraph provided is legally
inoperative, then in any such event, the indebtedness secured hereby, at the
option of the Mortgagee and upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice, shall
become immediately due, payable, and collectible; provided, however, said option
and right shall be unavailing and the Mortgage Note and said mortgage shall
remain in effect in any event if, notwithstanding such law, the Mortgagor
lawfully may pay all such taxes, assessments, and charges, including interest
and penalties thereon, to or for the Mortgagee and does in fact pay same when so
payable.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
10.
EIGHTH: INSURANCE.
The Mortgagor will keep the improvements existing or hereafter erected on the
Mortgaged Premises insured as may be required from time to time by the Mortgagee
against loss or damage by, or abatement of rental income resulting from fire and
such other hazards, casualties, and contingencies in such amounts and for such
periods as reasonably may be required by the Mortgagee, and will pay promptly
when due all premiums of such insurance. All such insurance shall be carried in
companies approved by the Mortgagee and the policies and renewals thereof shall
be deposited with and held by the Mortgagee and have attached thereto the
standard noncontributing mortgage clause (in favor of and entitling the
Mortgagee to collect any and all proceeds payable under all such insurance) as
well as the standard waiver of subrogation endorsement, all to be in form
acceptable to the Mortgagee. The insurance proceeds shall be applied in the
manner provided in the Loan Agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee dated on
the same date of this Deed of Mortgage (the "Loan Agreement"). The Mortgagor
shall not carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form and contributing,
in the event of loss, with any insurance required hereunder. In the event of a
change in ownership or of occupancy of the Mortgaged Premises, immediate notice
thereof by mail shall be delivered to all insurers and in the event of loss, the
Mortgagor will give immediate written notice to the Mortgagee.
In the event of foreclosure of the mortgage hereby constituted, or
other transfer of title to the Mortgaged Premises or any portion thereof in
extinguishment of the indebtedness secured hereby, all right, title, and
interest of the Mortgagor in any to any insurance policies then in force shall
pass to the purchaser or grantee.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
11.
The Mortgagor will also carry and maintain such liability and indemnity
insurance as may be required from time to time by the Mortgagee in forms,
amounts and with companies satisfactory to the Mortgagee.
NINTH: MAINTENANCE OF MORTGAGED PREMISES.
The Mortgagor will not alter, remove or demolish any building or other
improvement now existing or hereafter erected on the Mortgaged Premises or
sever, remove, sell or mortgage any fixture or appliance on, in or about said
buildings or improvements or any other property included in the Mortgaged
Premises without the consent of the Mortgagee other than in the ordinary course
of business; and in the event of the demolition or destruction in whole or in
part of any of the fixtures or articles of movable property covered by the
mortgage hereby constituted, the same shall be replaced promptly by similar
fixtures and articles of movable property at least equal in quality and
condition to those replaced, free from any security interest in or encumbrance
thereon or reservation of title thereto; will not permit, commit or suffer any
waste, impairment or deterioration of the Mortgaged Premises or any part
thereof; will keep and maintain the Mortgaged Premises and every part thereof,
including the buildings, fixtures, machinery and appurtenances and adjoining
sidewalks, parking areas, roadways and means of ingress and egress in reasonably
good repair and conditions; will effect such repairs as the Mortgagee may
reasonably require and make all needful and proper replacements so that said
buildings, fixtures, machinery, appurtenances, sidewalks, parking areas,
roadways and means of ingress and egress will at all time be in good condition,
fit and proper for the respective purposes for which they were originally
erected or installed; will comply with all statutes, orders, requirements or
decrees relating to the Mortgaged Premises by any
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
12.
Commonwealth, municipal or other governmental authority; will observe and comply
with all conditions and requirements necessary to preserve and extend any and
all rights, licenses, permits (including, but not limited to, zoning variances,
special exceptions and non-conforming uses), privileges, franchises, and
concessions which are applicable to the Mortgaged Premises or which have been
granted to or contracted for by the Mortgagor in connection with any existing or
presently contemplated use of the Mortgaged Premises; and will permit the
Mortgagee or its agents, at all reasonable times to enter into and inspect the
Mortgaged Premises. The Mortgagee shall have the right at any time provided that
there is reasonable cause to suspect that the proper maintenance of the
Mortgaged Premises has not been undertaken, to engage an independent realtor to
survey the adequacy of the maintenance of the Mortgaged Premises, and to require
the Mortgagor, by notice in writing, to make such repairs and replacements
thereof as such realtor shall determine to be necessary in order to protect and
preserve the rentability and usability of the Mortgaged Premises, it being
understood that the Mortgagor shall reimburse the Mortgagee for the cost of such
survey unless the same determines such maintenance to be reasonably adequate, in
which case the cost thereof shall be at the expense of the Mortgagee.
TENTH: SUBSEQUENT LIENS.
The Mortgagor will not voluntarily create or permit to be created or filed
against the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, any mortgage lien or other
lien or liens inferior or superior to the lien of the mortgage hereby
constituted, and will keep and maintain the Mortgaged Premises free from the
claim of any persons supplying labor or materials for the construction of any
buildings or other improvements on the Mortgaged Premises, notwithstanding by
whom such labor or materials may have
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
13.
been contracted, except for a third mortgage lien to be constituted as security
for advances to be made by the Partners of Mortgagor, or except for purchase
money mortgages on personal property subsequently acquired by Borrower not for
the purposes of substituting or replacing previously existing personal property
and to be used in the Mortgaged Premises, if such personal property, due to its
nature does not become real property by having been used at or incorporated to
the Mortgaged Premises and as may be provided under the Loan Agreement.
ELEVENTH: PLEDGE:
In the event that the Mortgage Note is assigned or pledged or otherwise
encumbered as collateral security for the payment of any other note or debt of
the Mortgagor or of any other person, the Mortgagor agrees that the Mortgagee
shall have and may exercise all rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided
herein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise,
in favor of Mortgagee, including, but not limited to that of foreclosing this
mortgage without first foreclosing the pledge or other lien so constituted upon
the Mortgage Note, to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if
the Mortgage Note had been assigned or transferred directly to Mortgagee rather
than assigned or pledged as collateral security, provided that nothing contained
in this paragraph ELEVENTH shall relieve Mortgagor from the obligation to comply
with the terms of the pledge agreement or other instrument under which the
Mortgage Note is assigned or pledged.
TWELFTH: INDEMNITY.
The Mortgagor will hold harmless and indemnify the Mortgagee from and against
all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of a
title search, continuation of abstract and preparation of survey, incurred by
reason of any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, motion or
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
14.
application before any court of administrative body (excepting an action to
foreclose or to collect the debt secured hereby), in and to which the Mortgagee
may be or become a party by reason hereof, including but not limited to
condemnation, bankruptcy, probate and administration proceedings, as well as any
other of the foregoing wherein proof of claim is by law required to be filed or
in which it may be necessary to defend or uphold the terms and the lien created
by the mortgage hereby constituted.
THIRTEENTH: CONDEMNATION.
The Mortgagor hereby assigns to the Mortgagee all rights of the Mortgagor to any
awards or other compensation heretofore or hereafter to be made to the present
and all subsequent owners of the Mortgaged Premises for any taking by eminent
domain, either permanent or temporary, of all or any part of the Mortgaged
Premises or any easement or appurtenance thereof, including severance and
consequential damage and change in grade of streets, and hereby irrevocably
authorizes and empowers the Mortgagee, in the name of the Mortgagor or
otherwise, upon notice to Mortgagor and failure of the Mortgagor to so do, to
prosecute what would be the Mortgagor's claim for any such awards or
compensation, to collect and receive the proceeds of any such claim, to give
proper receipts and acquittance therefor and, after deducting expenses of
collection, to apply the net proceeds in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Agreement. The Mortgagor will give the Mortgagee immediate notice of the actual
or threatened commencement of any such proceedings under eminent domain and will
deliver to the Mortgagee copies of any and all papers served in connection with
such proceedings. The Mortgagor further covenants and agrees to make, execute,
and deliver to the Mortgagee, at any time or times upon request, any and all
further
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
15.
assignments and/or instruments deemed necessary by the Mortgagee for the purpose
of validly and sufficiently assigning all awards and other compensation
heretofore and hereafter to be made to the Mortgagor (including the assignment
of any award from the United States government at any time after the allowance
of the claim therefor, the ascertainment of the amount thereof and the issuance
of the warrant for payment thereof) for any taking, either permanent or
temporary, under any such proceeding. The proceeds of any condemnation award
shall be applied as provided for under the Loan Agreement.
FOURTEENTH: MORTGAGOR'S CERTIFICATE.
The Mortgagor will, upon ten (10) business days' prior written request by the
Mortgagee, but not more often that twice in any calendar year furnish the
Mortgagee a written statement duly acknowledged of the amount due upon the
mortgage hereby constituted and whether any offset or defenses exist against the
mortgage debt.
FIFTEENTH: BOOKS AND RECORDS.
The Mortgagor will keep and maintain full and correct books and records showing
in detail the earnings and expenses of the Mortgaged Premises and will permit
the Mortgagee or its representative to examine such books and records and all
supporting vouchers and data at any time and from time to time on request at its
offices, hereinbefore identified, or at such other location as may be mutually
agreed upon and following the expiration of each fiscal year the Mortgagor will
furnish to the Mortgagee a statement showing in detail all such earnings and
expenses since the last such statement, prepared by an independent certified
public accountant acceptable to the Mortgagee in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, including also, if so requested, statements from
all tenants of the Mortgaged Premises showing all sales made therein,
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
16.
together also with a current rent roll of the Mortgaged Premises showing with
respect to each tenancy: the name of the tenant, the space occupied, the date
and term of such lease, the amount of annual rental and additional rental and
all renewal and termination options; and in the event that the Mortgagor shall
refuse or fail to furnish any statement as aforesaid, or in the event such
statement shall be inaccurate or false, or in the event of the failure of the
Mortgagor or any subsequent owner to permit the Mortgagee or its representative
to inspect the Mortgaged Premises or the said books and records on request, the
Mortgagee may consider such acts of the Mortgagor as a default hereunder and
proceed in accordance with the rights and remedies afforded it at law and under
the provisions of this deed.
SIXTEENTH: ADVANCES AND EXPENSES.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee may,
at its option upon prior written notice to Mortgagor and whether electing to
declare the whole indebtedness due and payable or not, perform the same without
waiver of any other remedy, and any amount paid or advanced by the Mortgagee in
connection therewith, and any other costs, charges, and expenses incurred by the
Mortgagee in the protection of the Mortgaged Premises or the maintenance of the
lien of the mortgage hereby constituted are hereby secured by the lien of said
mortgage up to an amount equal to TWENTY PERCENT (20%) of the principal sum of
the Mortgage Note, shall be repayable by the Mortgagor on demand, with interest
at the rate set forth in the Mortgage Note and shall constitute a lien upon the
Mortgaged Premises senior to any other lien that may arise or may be granted
subsequent to the lien constituted under this deed.
The Mortgagee, in making any payment herein and hereby authorized, in
the place and stead of the Mortgagor, relating to taxes,
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
17.
assessments, water rates, sewer rentals and other governmental or municipal
charges, fines, impositions or liens asserted against the Mortgaged Premises may
do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate
public office without inquiry into the accuracy of the bill, statement or
estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien
or title or claim thereof; or relating to any apparent or threatened adverse
title, lien, statement of lien, encumbrance, claim or charge and shall be the
sole judge of the legality or validity of same, or otherwise relating to any
other purpose herein and hereby authorized but not enumerated in this paragraph,
may do so whenever, in its judgment and discretion, such advance or advances
shall seem necessary or desirable to protect the full security intended to be
created by this deed. Mortgagee will within a reasonable time after making such
payment or advance, give notice to the Mortgagor, but failure to do so shall in
any manner affect the guarantee herein provided for such payments or advances.
SEVENTEENTH: DEFAULTS, RIGHTS, AND REMEDIES.
Upon default in the payment of any installment of principal and/or interest when
due under the Mortgage Note or in the payment, when due, of any other obligation
set forth in the Mortgage Note, or in any of the payments required to be made
under this deed, or upon default in the performance or observance of any of the
other terms, covenants, conditions or warranties herein contained, or under any
other written agreement with the Mortgagee, or should any proceedings under the
Bankruptcy Law of the United States or any similar law be brought by or against
the Mortgagor or should a receiver be appointed for any properties of the
Mortgagor by any court in a proceeding wherein the Mortgagor is alleged to be
insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature, then in any such
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
18.
event, at the option of the Mortgagee, the principal of and all other sums
secured by the mortgage hereby constituted shall, without notice, become
immediately due, demandable, and payable as fully as if it had been stipulated
that all such sums would be due on that date and the Mortgagee, with or without
entry, personally or by attorney, at its option, may proceed to protect and
enforce its rights hereunder by suit or suits in equity or action or actions by
law, whether for specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained
herein or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for the
foreclosure of the mortgage hereby constituted and the sale of the Mortgaged
Premises or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable
remedy as the Mortgagee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of
its rights or duties hereunder.
Upon any such default by the Mortgagor and following the acceleration
of maturity as aforesaid a tender of payment of the amount necessary to satisfy
the entire indebtedness secured hereby made at any time prior to foreclosure
sale (including sale under power of sale hereunder), by the Mortgagor, its
successors or assigns, or by anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, its successors
or assigns, shall constitute an evasion of the payment terms hereunder and shall
be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment hereunder, and any such payment, to the
extent permitted by law, will therefore include the exit fee, if any required
under the prepayment privilege contained in the Mortgage Note, or the Loan
Agreement.
In connection with any judicial proceedings initiated by the Mortgagee
under the Mortgage Note or this deed, the Mortgagee may petition the court
having jurisdiction in the premises to appoint a receiver, and said court shall
appoint said receiver for the Mortgaged Premises and
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
19.
of all the rents, issues, income, profits and yields of any nature derived from
the Mortgaged Premises, which receiver shall have the broadest powers and
faculties usually granted to a receiver by the court. Such appointment shall be
made by the court as a matter of absolute right granted to the Mortgagee,
without taking into consideration the value of the Mortgaged Premises or the
solvency or insolvency of the Mortgagor or defendants, and regardless of whether
the Mortgagee has an adequate remedy at law. All of said rents, income issues,
profits and yield shall be employed by the receiver in conformity with the terms
of the mortgage hereby constituted and the rulings of said court.
The remedies provided for herein shall be cumulative and not exclusive.
The failure of the Mortgagee to exercise the option for acceleration of
maturity and/or foreclosure following any default as aforesaid or to exercise
any other option granted to the Mortgagee in any one or more instances and the
acceptance by the Mortgagee of partial payments hereunder shall not constitute a
waiver of any such default nor extend or affect the grace period, if any, but
such option shall remain continuously in force.
Acceleration of maturity, once claimed hereunder by the Mortgagee, may,
at the option of the Mortgagee, be rescinded by written acknowledgment to that
effect by the Mortgagee, but the tender and acceptance of partial payments alone
shall not in any way affect or rescind such acceleration of maturity, nor extend
or affect the grace period, if any.
EIGHTEENTH: ASSIGNMENT.
As further security for the payment of the indebtedness hereby secured, the
Mortgagor hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers, and sets over to the
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
20.
Mortgagee all of the Mortgagor's right, title, and interest in and to all leases
and/or subleases (hereinafter referred to collectively as "leases") affecting
the Mortgaged Premises to which the Mortgagor is or hereafter shall be a party,
together with any and all further leases upon all or any part of the Mortgaged
Premises and together with all of the rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues
and profits from or due or arising out of the Mortgaged Premises, it being
understood that the Mortgagor will from time to time, promptly upon request by
Mortgagee, execute and deliver to the Mortgagee a specific, present and
irrevocable assignment satisfactory in substance and form to the Mortgagee, of
all of the Mortgagor's right, title, and interest in, to, and under each lease
affecting the Mortgaged Premises, it being understood and agreed that every such
lease shall be subordinate to the lien of the mortgage hereby constituted. The
Mortgagor will promptly give the Mortgagee notice in the event that the tenant
under any such lease of the Mortgaged Premises shall institute any judicial or
administrative proceeding under the Reasonable Rents Act of Puerto Rico or any
similar statute at the time in effect for the reduction of the rent payable by
such tenant, it being understood that the Mortgagee shall have the right to
defend such proceeding in the name and on behalf of the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor
will not sell, assign, transfer, convey or encumber the Mortgaged Premises
except for Permitted Encumbrances, or upon assumption by the purchaser or
transferee, in form satisfactory to the Mortgagee (for so long as title remains
in said purchaser or transferee) of all of the obligations of the Mortgagor as
landlord under all leases at the time affecting the Mortgaged Premises. The
Mortgagor hereby further covenants and agrees that it will not, except in the
ordinary course of business without prior written consent of the Mortgagee,
which consent shall not be unreasonable withheld:
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
21.
ONE: Except in the ordinary course of business, receive or collect any
rents from any present or future tenant under any lease of the Mortgaged
Premises or any part thereof for a period of more than one month in advance
(whether in cash or by promissory note), or pledge, transfer, mortgage or
otherwise encumber or assign future payments of said rents;
TWO: Waive, excuse, condone, discount, set off, compromise, or in
manner release or discharge any such tenant thereunder, of and from any
obligations, covenants, conditions and agreements by said tenant to be kept,
observed, and performed, including the obligation to apply the rents thereunder,
in the manner and at the place and time specified therein;
THREE: Cancel, terminate or consent to any surrender of any such lease,
or commence an action of ejectment or any summary proceedings for dispossession
of the tenant under any such lease, or exercise any right or recapture provided
in any such lease, or modify, or in any way alter the terms thereof;
FOUR: Other than in the ordinary course of business, lease any part of
the Mortgaged Premises, or renew or extend the term of any lease of the
Mortgaged Premises unless an option therefor was originally so reserved by the
tenant under such lease and for a fixed and definite rental;
FIVE: Consent to any modification of the express purposes for which the
Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof may be used, or to any assignment or
subletting of any such lease, without in each such instance enumerated in this
paragraph, the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.
NINETEENTH: RELEASES.
The Mortgagee may, without notice and without regard to the consideration, if
any, paid therefor, and notwithstanding the existence at that time of any
inferior liens thereon, release any part of the security
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
22.
described herein or by any person liable for any indebtedness secured hereby,
without in any way affecting the priority of the lien of the mortgage hereby
constituted, to the full extent of the indebtedness remaining unpaid hereunder,
upon any part of the security not expressly released, and may agree with any
party obligated on said indebtedness or having any interest in the security
described herein to extend the time for payment of any part or all of the
indebtedness secured hereby. Such agreement shall not in any way release or
impair the lien of said mortgage, but shall extend such lien as against the
title of all parties having any interest in said security which interest is
subject to such lien.
In the event the Mortgagee (i) releases, as aforesaid, any part of the
security described herein or any person liable for any indebtedness secured
hereby; or (ii) grants an extension of time for any payments of the indebtedness
secured hereby; or (iii) takes other or additional security for the payment
thereof; or (iv) waives or fails to exercise any right granted in this deed or
in the Note, said act or omission shall not release the Mortgagor or any maker,
endorser or surety of the mortgage hereby constituted or of the Note or under
any covenant of this deed or of the Note, nor preclude the Mortgagee from
exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be
granted in the event of any other default then made or any subsequent default.
TWENTIETH: MISCELLANEOUS.
Mortgagor will not exercise any right which he might have to cancel the
record of the Mortgage by reason of lapse of time counted from the date of the
constitution of the Mortgage either under the applicable provisions of the
Mortgage Law or otherwise and further agrees, whenever requested by the
Mortgagee, to execute and file in the appropriate Registry, at Mortgagor's cost
and expense, any and all
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
23.
supplemental instruments which may be necessary or convenient for the
preservation of the lien of the mortgage until full payment of the Mortgage Note
or debt so secured by the lien upon the Mortgaged Premises. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Mortgagor agrees that:
(a) Unless the Mortgagee shall consent in writing to the cancellation
of the Mortgage at an earlier date, the Mortgage shall be conclusively presumed
to subsist until full payment to the Mortgagee of all amounts lent and secured
hereunder, and the Mortgagor does hereby waive any right which he might
otherwise have under the Mortgage Law of Puerto Rico to apply for an earlier
cancellation of the record of the Mortgage.
(b) The Mortgagor will give immediate notice by mail to the Mortgagee
of any conveyance, transfer or change of ownership or of occupancy of the
Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof.
(c) Nothing herein contained nor any transaction related thereto shall
be construed or shall operate, either presently or prospectively, to require the
Mortgagor to make any payment or do any act contrary to law, but if any clause
and provision herein contained shall otherwise so operate to invalidate the
mortgage hereby constituted, in whole or in part, then such clause and provision
only shall be held for naught as though not herein contained and the remainder
of this deed shall remain operative and in full force and effect.
(d) The Mortgagor will, within ten (10) days after written request by
the Mortgagee, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Mortgagee a chattel
mortgage, security agreement or other similar security instrument, in form
satisfactory to the Mortgagee, covering all property of any kind whatsoever
owned by the Mortgagor, which, in the reasonable
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
24.
opinion of the Mortgagee, is required for the operation of the Mortgaged
premises and may not be covered by the lien of the mortgage hereby constituted
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and will further execute,
acknowledge, and deliver any financing statement, affidavit, continuation
statement or certificate or other document requested by the Mortgagee in order
to perfect, preserve, maintain, continue and extend the security interest under
and the priority of such chattel mortgage or other security instrument, it being
understood that the Mortgagor will pay to the Mortgagee on demand all costs and
expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in connection with the preparation,
execution, recording and filing of any such document.
(e) Whenever in this deed or in the Mortgage Note or by law, notice or
demand shall be required to be given by the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor, such
notice or demand shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered to an officer
or employee of the Mortgagor, or if mailed to the Mortgagor addressed to it at
its last address actually furnished to the Mortgagee or at the Mortgaged
Premises, or as otherwise provided under the Loan Agreement.
(f) In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law, or
otherwise, of all or any part of the Mortgaged Premises, the Mortgagee is hereby
authorized and empowered to deal with such vendee or transferee with reference
to the Mortgaged Premises, or the debt secured hereby, or with reference to any
of the terms or conditions hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might
with the Mortgagor, without in any way releasing or discharging the Mortgagor
from its liability or undertakings hereunder. The term "Mortgagor" as used
herein shall mean and include the Mortgagor appearing herein and any subsequent
owner, in whole or in part, of the Mortgaged Premises.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
25.
(g) All of the covenants hereof shall run with the Mortgaged Premises.
TWENTY FIRST: THE MORTGAGE NOTE.
The Mortgage Note referred to in paragraph SECOND of this deed is literally
transcribed herein as follows:
"MORTGAGE NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, El Conquistador Partnership L.P.
hereby promises to pay to the order of THE GOVERNMENT DEVELOPMENT BANK FOR
PUERTO RICO, on demand, at such place as may be designated in writing by said
payee or holder the principal sum of TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
($25,000,000.00) in lawful money of the United States of America together with
interest in like lawful money on the decreasing balance of the aforesaid
principal sum until paid and throughout its life or through any period of
non-payment, default, and after maturity, also payable on demand, at an annual
variable interest rate to be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty
(360) days year equivalent to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as
described on page 3750 of the Telerate's System at 11:00 A.M. (London Time) for
a three (3) month period, plus ninety (90) basis points (LIBOR plus 0.9%). The
initial interest rate on this Mortgage Note shall be Seven point Five Twenty
Five Percent (7.525%) per annum.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the rate of
interest required to be paid hereunder exceeds the rate lawfully chargeable, the
rate of interest to be paid shall be automatically reduced to the maximum rate
lawfully chargeable so that no amounts shall be charged which are in excess
thereof, and, in the event it should be determined that any excess over such
highest lawful rate has been charged or received, the payee or holder hereof
shall promptly refund such excess to the undersigned; provided, however, that,
if lawful, any such excess shall be paid by the undersigned to the payee or
holder hereof as additional interest (accruing at a rate equal to the maximum
legal rate minus the rate provided for hereunder) during any subsequent period
when regular interest is accruing hereunder at less that the maximum legal rate.
In case of recourse to the courts by the payee or holder of this
Mortgage Note, including but not limited to collection, foreclosure and
Bankruptcy Code proceedings, in order to collect the whole or any portion
<PAGE>

this Mortgage Note to cover actual court costs, disbursements and reasonable
attorney's fees.
The undersigned, and all other who may become liable for all or any
part of this obligation jointly and severally waive demand, presentment,
protest, notice of dishonor and non-payment, and any and all lack of diligence
or delays in collection or enforcement hereof.
The payment of this Mortgage Note is secured by a mortgage constituted
pursuant to the terms of Deed Number 2, executed on the 7th day of February,
1991, before Notary Ramon Moran Loubriel, and the payee or bearer hereof is
entitled to the benefit and security of all of the provisions and conditions set
forth in said Deed of Mortgage.
No reference herein to the Deed of Mortgage shall alter or impair the
obligation of the undersigned hereon, which is continuing, absolute and
unconditional, nor shall such reference affect the negotiability hereof under
the Negotiable Instruments Law of Puerto Rico. Nevertheless the obligations of
the undersigned under this Mortgage Note shall be non-recourse, payable solely
from the security constituted by the Mortgage securing payment of this Mortgage
Note.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Mortgage Note to be
executed at San Juan, Puerto Rico, this 7th day of February, 1991.

Premises, the Mortgagor shall:
(i) not store (except in compliance with all laws, ordinances, and
regulations pertaining thereto), dispose of, release or allow the release of any
hazardous substance, solid waste or oil, as defined in forty-two (42) United

or limited liability, take all such action (including, without limitation, the
conducting of engineering tests at the sole expense of the Mortgagor) to confirm
that no hazardous substance or oil is or ever was stored, released or disposed
of or on the Mortgaged Premises; and

be imposed on the Mortgaged Premises.

is amended so as to broaden the meaning of any term defined thereby, such
broader meaning shall apply as of the effective date of such amendment and
provided further, to the extent that the laws of the jurisdiction where the
Mortgaged Premises is located establish a meaning for "hazardous substance",
"release", "solid waste", or "disposal" which is broader than specified in
either CERCLA or RCRA, such broader meaning shall apply.
(b) Environmental Assessments. In addition to the Mortgagee's rights
under Section (a)(iii), the Mortgagee may, at its election, if there is
reasonable cause to suspect some environmental damage has occurred without
regard to whether Mortgagor is in default hereunder or under the Mortgage Note,
obtain one or more environmental assessments of the Mortgaged Premises prepared
by a geohydrologist, and independent engineer or other qualified consultant or
expert approved by the Mortgagee evaluating or confirming (i) whether any
hazardous substances or other toxic substances are present in the soil or water
at or adjacent to the Mortgaged Premises and (ii) whether the use and operation

(unless the Mortgagee shall otherwise consent), the Mortgagor covenants and
agrees that, in case it shall become the owner in fee simple ("pleno dominio")
of the Leasehold Estate, by purchase or otherwise, this Mortgage shall attach to
and cover and be a lien upon the Estate so acquired. Mortgagor further agrees
and consents to execute, acknowledge, deliver and record, at its sole cost and
expense, all such instruments necessary to attach to this Mortgage the Estate so
acquired.
SIXTH: Maintenance of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor will at all
times maintain, preserve and keep, or cause to be maintained, preserved or kept,
all and each part of the Leasehold Estate and the Improvements in good repair,
working order and condition, such that the Mortgaged Property will be maintained
and operated as part of a first-class destination resort. The Mortgagor will
supply the Mortgaged Property, and keep the same or cause the same to be kept
and supplied, with all necessary supplies and equipment and make all needful and
proper repairs, renewals and replacements thereto, whether interior or exterior,
structural or non-structural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen.
All such repairs, renewals and replacements shall be at least equal in quality,
value and class to the original
16
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Improvements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Mortgagor
covenants that it will not cause or permit to suffer damage, deterioration, loss
or waste to the Mortgaged Property, other than that resulting from normal wear
and tear. The Mortgagor will not alter, add to, remove or demolish any building,
structure or property forming part of the Mortgaged Property without the prior
written consent of the Mortgagee, except to the extent permitted in any pledge
agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Note is pledged or assigned.
SEVENTH: Assignment of Leases and Rents. The Mortgagor hereby absolutely
and irrevocably mortgages and assigns to the Mortgagee all rents, income and
other sums due to the Mortgagor under each Occupancy Lease now existing or
hereafter entered into, together with the right to collect and receive the same
provided if and so long as no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Mortgagor shall have the right to collect
and receive such rents and other sums for its own uses and purposes. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, all such rents and other sums shall be
collected and held by the Mortgagee to be applied as deed appropriate in the
sole discretion of the Mortgagee to the obligations secured hereunder and in
such other manner as is
17
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
permitted pursuant to the terms hereof and of any pledge agreement pursuant to
which the Mortgage Note may be pledged or assigned. The Mortgagee shall notify
the Mortgagor of its exercise of its right to collect rent and other sums at the
same time that it notifies any tenants thereof; provided, however, that failure
on the part of the Mortgagee to give such notice to the Mortgagor shall not
operate as a waiver of the right of the Mortgagee to collect and receive all
rents, income and other sums due to the Mortgagor under each Occupancy Lease.
The assignment of rents, income and other benefits contained herein shall
constitute an absolute assignment, subject, however, to the conditional
permission given herein to the Mortgagor to collect and use such rents, income
and other benefits. The foregoing assignment shall be fully operative without
any further action on the part of either party and the Mortgagee shall be
entitled, at its option, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder,
to all rents, income and other benefits from the Mortgaged Property, whether or
not the Mortgagee takes possession of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor
hereby further grants to the Mortgagee and its agent the right, at the
Mortgagee's option, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to (i) enter
upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting
said rents, income and other
18
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
benefits, (ii) dispossess by the usual summary proceedings any lessee defaulting
in its obligations pursuant to its Occupancy Lease beyond any applicable grace
and/or notice period, (iii) let the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, to
the extent permitted by law, and (iv) apply such rents, income and other
benefits, after payment of all necessary charges and expenses, on account of the
indebtedness and other sums secured hereby or by any pledge agreement pursuant
to which the Mortgage Note may be pledged or assigned. Such assignment and grant
shall continue in effect until the indebtedness and other sums secured by this
Mortgage, and by any pledge agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Note may be
pledged or assigned, are paid in full, the execution of this Mortgage
constituting and evidencing the irrevocable consent of the Mortgagor to the
entry upon and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagee
pursuant to such grant. Neither the exercise of any rights under this paragraph
SEVENTH by the Mortgagee nor the application of any such rents, income or other
benefits to the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby shall cure or waive
any Default, Event of Default or notice of Default hereunder or invalidate any
act done pursuant hereto or to any such notice, but shall be cumulative of all
other rights and remedies.
19
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
EIGHTH: Insurance. As is provided in Article One Hundred Sixty (160) of
the Mortgage and property Registry Act of Puerto Rico Act Number One Hundred
Ninety-Eight (198) of August ten (10), nineteen hundred seventy-nine (1979),
Thirty Laws of Puerto Rico Annotated Two Thousand Five Hundred Fifty-Six (30
L.P.R.A. 2556), this Mortgage shall be extensive to, and shall cover, all
indemnities to which the Mortgagor may be entitled under any policy of insurance
covering the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and the Mortgagee shall be
entitled to receive directly from the insurance underwriter(s) all payments
which become due under any such policy(ies) of insurance, unless otherwise
provided in any pledge agreement under which the Mortgage Note is pledged or
assigned. Such payments shall be applied in the manner provided in any pledge
agreement or other instrument under which the Mortgage Note is pledged or
assigned.
NINTH: Additional Advances. The Mortgagee, without consent of or demand
upon the Mortgagor and without waiving or releasing any obligation or Default or
Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time advance
such funds as may in the Mortgagee's judgment be needed for the purpose of (i)
paying real estate taxes assessed against the Mortgaged Property which the
Mortgagor has failed to pay, (ii) maintaining insurance
20
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
coverage on the Mortgaged Property as required hereunder or otherwise as set
forth in any pledge agreements pursuant to which any of the Mortgage Notes have
been pledged or assigned, (iii) complying with any Legal Requirements relating
to environmental matters with which the Mortgagor has failed to comply or (iv)
paying any other expenses which the Mortgagee reasonably determines to be
necessary to preserve the value of the Mortgaged Property, and the Mortgagor
may, in such event, enter upon the Mortgaged Property for such purpose and take
all action thereon that it considers necessary or appropriate, and may take such
other and further action as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such
purposes. All sums so advanced or paid by the Mortgagee and all costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) so
incurred, together with interest thereon at the rate provided for in the
Mortgage Note from the date of payment or incurring, shall constitute additional
indebtedness secured by this Mortgage and shall be paid by the Mortgagor to the
Mortgagee on demand, regardless of the due date of the remainder of the
indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.
TENTH: Further Assurances; Additional Security. The Mortgagor, at its
expense, will execute, acknowledge, deliver and record all such instruments and
take all such action as the
21
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Mortgagee from time to time may request better to assure the Mortgagee that the
properties and rights hereby mortgaged and assigned or intended to have been
mortgaged and assigned have so been. Without notice to or consent of the
Mortgagor, and without impairment of the lien of and rights under this Mortgage,
the Mortgagee may take from (but the Mortgagor shall not be obligated to furnish
to) the Mortgagor or from any other Person or Persons (as hereinafter defined)
additional security for the Mortgage Note or for the obligations of the
Mortgagor secured by the assignment or pledge of the Mortgage Note; and neither
the giving of this Mortgage nor the acceptance of any such additional security
shall prevent the Mortgagee from resorting first to such additional security, or
to the security created by this Mortgage, in either case without affecting the
Mortgagee's lien and rights under this Mortgage.
ELEVENTH: Foreclosure Valuation. In compliance with Article One Hundred
Seventy-Nine (179) of the Mortgage and Property Registry Act of Puerto Rico [Act
Number One Hundred Ninety-Eight (198) of August ten (10), nineteen hundred
seventy-nine (1979) Thirty Laws of Puerto Rico Annotated Two Thousand Five
Hundred Seventy-Five (30 L.P.R.A. 2575)], the Mortgagor hereby declares and
agrees for the purpose of foreclosure that the
22
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
value of the Mortgaged Property is the amount of TWO MILLION THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,300,000).
TWELFTH: Foreclosure. In the event that the Mortgage Note is assigned or
pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Mortgagor as collateral security for the
payment of any other note or debt of the Mortgagor or of any other Person, the
Mortgagor agrees that:
(a) The Mortgagee may foreclose this Mortgage and may exercise all other
rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided herein or now or hereafter
existing at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise, without first foreclosing
the pledge or other lien so constituted upon the Mortgage Note, to the same
extent and with the same force and effect as if the Mortgage Note had been
assigned or transferred directly to the Mortgagee rather than assigned or
pledged as collateral security, provided that nothing contained in this
paragraph TWELFTH shall relief the Mortgagee from the obligation to comply with
the terms of any pledge agreement or other instrument under which the Mortgage
Note is assigned or pledged.
(b) The Mortgagor will not exercise any right which it might have to
cancel the record of the Mortgage by reason of lapse of time counted from the
date of the constitution of the Mortgage
23
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
either under the provisions of Article One Hundred Forty-Five (145) of the
Mortgage and Property Registry Act of Puerto Rico [Act Number One Hundred
Ninety-Eight (198) of August ten (10), nineteen hundred seventy-nine (1979),
Thirty Laws of Puerto Rico Annotated Two Thousand Four Hundred Sixty-Nine (30
L.P.R.A. 2469) or otherwise and further agrees, whenever required by the
Mortgagee, to execute and file in the appropriate Registry, at the Mortgagor's
sole cost and expense, any and all supplemental instruments which may be
necessary or convenient in the judgment of the Mortgagee for the preservation of
the lien of this Mortgage until full payment of the note or debt so secured by
the lien of the Mortgage Note and full payment of any obligations secured by any
pledge of the Mortgage Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Mortgagor agrees that, unless the Mortgagee shall consent in writing to the
cancellation of the Mortgage at an earlier date, the Mortgage shall be
conclusively presumed to subsist for a period of twenty-five (25) years from the
date of its constitution or such lesser date as the Leasehold is terminated in
accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease; and the Mortgagor does hereby
waive any right which he might otherwise have under said Article One Hundred
Forty-Five (145) of the Mortgage and
24
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Property Registry Act to apply for an earlier cancellation of the record of the
Mortgage.
(c) The Mortgagee may, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
hereunder or under any pledge agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Note has
been pledged or assigned, petition the court having jurisdiction over the
Mortgaged Property to appoint a receiver for the Mortgaged Property, including
all rents, issues and profits therefrom, and said receiver shall have the
broadest powers and faculties permitted to be granted to a receiver by the court
and his appointment shall be made by the court as a matter of absolute right
granted to the Mortgagee without taking into consideration the value of the
Mortgaged Property or the solvency of the Mortgagor or of any other party to the
action, and the Mortgagor hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver
and agrees not to oppose the same, and waives any requirement for such a
receiver to post a bond of any kind.

Mortgage, the Mortgage Note or any
35
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
pledge agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Note was pledged or assigned,
other than those covenants, agreements or terms of which the Mortgagor's failure
to perform would constitute another Event of Default referred to in this
paragraph EIGHTEENTH, and such failure shall continue unremedied for more than
ninety (90) days after notice thereof shall have been given to the Mortgagor by
the Mortgagee or such shorter grace period provided for in any such documents;
provided, however, that if such failure cannot be corrected within such ninety
(90) day period, it shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder if
corrective action is instituted by the Mortgagor within such period and
diligently pursued until such failure is corrected;
(iv) any warranty, representation or other statement made by or on behalf
of the Mortgagor in or pursuant to this Mortgage, any pledge agreement pursuant
to which the Mortgage Note was pledged or assigned, or any document, instrument
or certificate delivered in connection herewith or therewith shall prove to have
been materially incorrect or misleading when made; provided, however, that if
the incorrect or misleading nature of such warranty, representation or other
statement is curable, such incorrect or misleading nature shall not be an Event
of Default hereunder so long as the Mortgagor diligently proceeds to cure and
36
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
cures such incorrect or misleading nature within ten (10) days after notice from
the Mortgagee of such incorrect or misleading nature such that the original

NINETEENTH hereof.
To the extent that any circumstances constitute an Event of Default under
any pledge agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Note may be pledged or
assigned but would not otherwise constitute an Event of Default hereunder, then,
notwithstanding the foregoing, such circumstances shall constitute an Event of
Default hereunder.
(b) Remedies. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default
hereunder or under any pledge agreement or other document pursuant to which the
Mortgage Note may be assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered as collateral
security,
37

part thereof, and any taxes, assessments or other charges prior to the Lien of
this Mortgage which the Mortgagee may consider it necessary or desirable to pay,

the properties and rights now or hereafter subjected to the line of the mortgage
lien hereby constituted or intended so to be. In the event that any Registrar of
Property to whom a certified copy of this deed shall be presented for
recordation shall reject the same for any reason or shall record this deed
against the Mortgaged Premises, junior to any other, lien or encumbrance other
than those specifically described in paragraph TWENTY SECOND hereof, then upon
such rejection becoming final and beyond appeal, the debt evidenced by the
Mortgage Note shall become totally due and the Mortgagee may proceed to its
collection judicially.

Mortgagor, unless, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date
thereof, the Mortgagor shall have notified the Mortgagee, in writing, of
8
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
such protest or contest, in which event, as the case may be, the Mortgagee shall
make such payment under protest in the manner prescribed by law or shall
withhold such payment; provided, however, that such contest shall preclude
enforcement of collection and the sale of the Mortgaged Premises in satisfaction
of such tax, assessment, charge or imposition.

covenants and conditions required to be performed and observed by the Mortgagor
under the Ground Lease, within the grace periods provided in the Ground Lease,

the Mortgagor has the option to renew such
10
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
term, the Mortgagor shall effectively exercise such option and deliver to the
Mortgagee proof of such exercise, at least thirty (30) days before the
expiration of the period during which such option may be exercised. The
Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints the Mortgagee its attorney-in-fact, to
exercise any such options within such thirty (30) day period if the Mortgagor
has not theretofore exercised the same.
SEVENTH: TAXES.
The Mortgagor will pay taxes which may become preferential lines on the
Mortgaged Premises as provided elsewhere in this deed or in the loan agreement
of even date between the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee (the "Loan Agreement").
EIGHTH: INSURANCE.
The Mortgagor will keep the improvements existing or hereafter erected on the
Mortgaged Premises insured as may be required from time to time by the Mortgagee
against loss or damage by, or abatement of rental income resulting from fire and
such other hazards, casualties, and contingencies in such amounts and for such
periods as reasonably may be required by the Mortgagee, and will pay promptly
when due all premiums of such insurance. All such insurance shall be carried in

standard noncontributing mortgage clause (in favor of and entitling the
Mortgagee to collect any and all proceeds payable under all such insurance) as
well as the standard waiver of subrogation endorsement, all to be in and
acceptable to the Mortgagee. The insurance proceeds shall be applied in the
manner provided in the Loan Agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee dated on
the same date of this Deed of Mortgage (the "Loan Agreement"). The Mortgagor
shall not
11
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form and contributing, in the
event of loss, with any insurance required hereunder. In the event of a change
in ownership or of occupancy of the Mortgaged Premises, immediate notice thereof
by mail shall be delivered to all insurers and in the event of loss, the
Mortgagor will give immediate written notice to the Mortgagee.
In the event of foreclosure of the mortgage hereby constituted, or
other transfer of title to the Mortgaged Premises or any portion thereof in
extinguishment of the indebtedness secured hereby, all right, titled, and
interest of the Mortgagor in any to any insurance policies then in force shall
pass to the purchaser or grantee.
The Mortgagor will also carry and maintain such liability and
indemnify insurance as may be required from time to time by the Mortgagee in
forms, amounts and with companies satisfactory to the Mortgagee.
NINTH: MAINTENANCE OF MORTGAGED PREMISES.
The Mortgagor will not alter, remove or demolish any building or other
improvement now existing or hereafter erected on the Mortgaged Premises or
sever, remove, sell or mortgage any fixture or appliance on, in or about said
buildings or improvements or any other property included in the Mortgaged
Premises without the consent of the Mortgagee other than in the ordinary course
of business; and in the event of the demolition or destruction in whole or in
party of any of the fixtures or articles of movable property covered by the
mortgage hereby constituted, the same shall be replaced promptly by similar
fixtures and articles of movable property at least equal in quality and
condition to those replaced, free from any security interest in or encumbrance
thereon or reservation of title thereto; will not permit, commit or suffer any
waste, impairment or deterioration of the Mortgaged Premises or any part
thereof; will keep and
12
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
maintain the Mortgaged Premises and every part thereof, including the buildings,
fixtures, machinery and appurtenances and adjoining sidewalks, parking areas,
roadways and means of ingress and egress in reasonably good repair and
conditions; will effect such repairs as the Mortgagee may reasonably require and
make all needful and proper replacements so that said building, fixtures,
machinery, appurtenances, sidewalks, parking areas, roadways and means of
ingress and egress will at all time be in good condition, fit and proper for the
respective purposes for which they were originally erected or installed; will
comply with all statutes, orders, requirements or decrees relating to the
Mortgaged Premises by any Commonwealth, municipal or other governmental
authority; will observe and comply with all conditions and requirements
necessary to preserve and extend any and all rights, licenses, permits

non-conforming uses), privileges, franchises, and concessions which are
applicable to the Mortgaged Premises or which are applicable to the Mortgaged
Premises or which have been granted to or contracted for by the Mortgagor in
connection with any existing or presently contemplated use of the Mortgaged
Premises; and will permit the Mortgagee or its agents, at all reasonable times
to enter into and inspect the Mortgaged Premises. The Mortgagee shall have the
right at any time provided that there is reasonable cause to suspect that the
proper maintenance of the Mortgaged Premises has not been undertaken, to engage
an independent realtor to survey the adequacy of the maintenance of the
Mortgaged Premises, and to require the Mortgagor, by notice in writing, to make
such repairs and replacements thereof as such realtor shall determine to be
necessary in order to protect and preserve the rentability and usability of the
Mortgaged Premises, it being understood that the Mortgagor shall reimburse the
Mortgagee for the cost of such survey unless the same
13
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
determines such maintenance to be reasonably adequate, in which case the cost
thereof shall be at the expense of the Mortgagee.
TENTH: SUBSEQUENT LIENS.
The Mortgagor will not voluntarily create or permit to be created or filed
against the Mortgaged Premises, or any part thereof, any mortgage lien or other
lien or liens inferior or superior to the lien of the mortgage hereby
constituted, and will keep and maintain the Mortgaged Premises free from the
claim of any persons supplying labor or materials for the construction of any
buildings or other improvements on the Mortgaged Premises, notwithstanding by
whom such labor or materials may have been contracted, except for a third
mortgage lien to be constituted as security for advances to be made by the
Partners of Mortgagor, or except for purchase money mortgages on personal
property subsequently acquired by Borrower not for the purposes of substituting
or replacing previously existing personal property and to be used in the
Mortgaged Premises, if such personal property, due to its nature does not become
real property by having been used at or incorporated to the Mortgaged Premises,
and as may be provided under the Loan Agreement.
ELEVENTH: PLEDGE:
In the event that the Mortgage Note is assigned or pledged or otherwise
encumbered as collateral security for the payment of any other note or debt of
the Mortgagor or of any other person, the Mortgagor agrees that the Mortgagee
shall have and may exercise all rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided
herein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise,
in favor of Mortgagee, including, but not limited to that of foreclosing this
mortgage without first foreclosing the pledge or other lien so constituted upon
the Mortgage Note, to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if
the Mortgage Note had been assigned or
14
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
transferred directly to Mortgagee rather than assigned or pledged as collateral
security, provided that nothing contained in this paragraph ELEVENTH shall
relieve Mortgagor from the obligation to comply wit the terms of the pledge
agreement or other instrument under which the Mortgage Note is assigned or
pledged.
TWELFTH: INDEMNITY.
The Mortgagor will hold harmless and indemnify the Mortgagee from and against
all costs and expenses, including reasonably attorneys' fees and costs of a
title search, continuation of abstract and preparation of survey, incurred by
reason of any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, motion or application before
any court or administrative body (excepting an action to foreclose or to collect
the debt secured hereby), in and to which the Mortgagee may be or become a party
by reason hereof, including but not limited to condemnation, bankruptcy, probate
and administration proceedings, as well as any other of the foregoing wherein
proof of claim is by law required to be filed or in which it may be necessary to
defend or uphold the terms and the lien created by the mortgage hereby
constituted.
THIRTEENTH: CONDEMNATION.
The Mortgagor hereby assigns to the Mortgagee all rights of the Mortgagor to any
awards or other compensation heretofore or hereafter to be made to the present
and all subsequent owners of the Mortgaged Premises for any taking by eminent
domain, either permanent or temporary, of all or any part of the Mortgaged
Premises or any easement or appurtenance thereof, including severance and
consequential damage and change in grade of streets, and hereby irrevocably
authorizes and empowers the Mortgagee, in the name of the Mortgagor or
otherwise, to prosecute what would be the Mortgagor's claim for any such awards
or compensation, to collect
15
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
and receive the proceeds of any such claim, to give proper receipts and
acquittances therefor and, after deducting expenses of collection, to apply the
net proceeds in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. The Mortgagor
will give the Mortgagee immediate notice of the actual or threatened
commencement of any such proceedings under eminent domain and will deliver to
the Mortgagee copies of any and all papers served in connection with such
proceedings. The Mortgagor further covenants and agrees to make, execute, and
deliver to the Mortgagee, at any time or times upon request, any and all further
assignments and/or instruments deemed necessary by the Mortgagee for the purpose
of validly and sufficiently assigning all awards and other compensation
heretofore and hereafter to be made to the Mortgagor (including the assignment
of any award from the United States government at any time after the allowance
of the claim therefor, the ascertainment of the amount thereof and the issuance
of the warrant for payment thereof) for any taking, either permanent or
temporary, under any such proceeding. The proceeds of any condemnation award
shall be applied as provided for under the Loan Agreement.
FOURTEENTH: MORTGAGOR'S CERTIFICATE.
The Mortgagor will, upon ten (10) business days' prior written request by the
Mortgagee, but not more than twice in any calendar year, furnish the Mortgagee a
written statement duly acknowledged of the amount due upon the mortgage hereby
constituted and whether any offset or defenses exist against the mortgage debt.
FIFTEENTH: BOOKS AND RECORDS.

16
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
representative to examine such books and records and all supporting vouchers and
data at any time and from time to time on request at its offices, hereinbefore
identified, or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon and
following the expiration of each fiscal year the Mortgagor will furnish to the
Mortgagee a statement showing in detail all such earnings and expenses since the
last such statement, prepared by an independent certified public accountant
acceptable to the Mortgagee in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, including also, if so requested, statements from all tenants of the
Mortgaged Premises showing all sales made therein, together also with a current
rent roll of the Mortgaged Premises showing with respect to each tenancy: the
name of the tenant, the space occupied, the date and term of such lease, the
amount of annual rental and additional rental and all renewal and termination
options; and in the event that the Mortgagor shall refuse or fail to furnish any
statement as aforesaid, or in the event such statement shall be inaccurate or
false, or in the event of the failure of the Mortgagor or any subsequent owner
to permit the Mortgagee or its representative to inspect the Mortgaged Premises
or the said books and record on request, the Mortgagee may consider such acts of
the Mortgagor as a default hereunder and proceed in accordance with the rights
and remedies afforded it at law and under the provisions of this deed.
SIXTEENTH: ADVANCES AND EXPENSES.
Upon default by the Mortgagor in the performance of any material terms,
covenants or conditions in this deed or in the Note contained, the Mortgagee
may, at its option and whether electing to declare the whole indebtedness due
and payable or not, upon prior written notice to the Mortgagor, perform the same
without waiver of any other remedy, and any amount paid or advanced by the
Mortgagee in connection therewith, and any other costs, charges, and expenses
17
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
incurred by the Mortgagee in the protection of the Mortgaged Premises or the
maintenance of the lien of the mortgage hereby constituted are hereby secured by
the lien of said mortgage up to an amount equal to twenty per cent (20%) of the
principal sum of the Mortgage Note, shall be repayable by the Mortgagor on
demand, with interest at the rate set forth in the Mortgage Note and shall
constitute and additional indebtedness secured in this Mortgaged.
Failure by Mortgagor to give notice, shall in any manner affect the
guarantee herein provided for such payments or advances.
SEVENTEENTH: DEFAULTS, RIGHTS, AND REMEDIES.
Upon default in the payment of any installment of principal and/or interest when
due under the Mortgage Note or in the payment, when due, of any other obligation
set forth in the Mortgage Note, or in any of the payments required to be made
under this deed, or upon default in the performance of observance of any of the
other terms, covenants, conditions or warranties herein contained, or under any
other written agreement with the Mortgagee, or should any proceedings under the
Bankruptcy Law of the Untied States or any similar law be brought by or against
the Mortgagor or should a receiver be appointed for any properties of the
Mortgagor by any court in a proceeding wherein the Mortgagor is alleged to be
insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature, then in any such event, at
the option of the Mortgagee, the principal of and all other sums evidenced by
the Mortgage Note plus accrued interest thereon to that date, and all other sums
secured by the mortgage hereby constituted shall, without notice, become
immediately due, demandable, and payable as fully as if it had been stipulated
that all such sums would be due on that date and the Mortgagee, with or without
entry, personally or by attorney, at its option, may proceed to protect and
enforce its rights hereunder by suit or suits in equity
18
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
or action or actions by law, whether for specific performance of any covenant or
agreement contained herein or in aid of the execution of any power herein
granted, or for the foreclosure of the mortgage hereby constituted and the sale
of the Mortgaged Premises or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal
or equitable remedy as the Mortgagee shall deem most effectual to protect and
enforce any of its rights or duties hereunder.
Upon any such default by the Mortgagor and following the acceleration of
mature as aforesaid tender of payment of the amount necessary to satisfy the
entire indebtedness secured hereby made at any time prior to foreclosure sale
(including sale under power of sale hereunder), by the Mortgagor, its successors
or assigns, or by anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, its successors or assigns,
shall constitute an evasion of the payment terms hereunder and shall be deemed
to be a voluntary prepayment hereunder, and any such payment, to the extent
permitted by law, will therefore include the exit fee, if any, required under
the prepayment privilege, contained in the Mortgage Note, or the Loan Agreement.
In connection with any judicial proceedings initiated by the Mortgagee
under the Mortgage Note or this deed the Mortgagee may petition the court having
jurisdiction in the premises to appoint a receiver, and said court shall appoint
said receiver for the Mortgaged Premises and of all the rents, issues, income,
profits and yields of any nature derived from the Mortgaged Premises, which
receiver shall have the broadest powers and faculties usually granted to a
receiver by the court. Such appointment shall be made by the court as a matter
of absolute right granted to the Mortgagee, without taking into consideration
the value of the Mortgaged Premises or the solvency or insolvency of the
Mortgagor or defendants, and regardless of whether the Mortgagee has an adequate
remedy at law. All of said rents, income issues, profits
19
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
and yield shall be employed by the receiver in conformity with the terms of the
mortgage hereby constituted and the rulings of said court.
The remedies provided for herein shall be cumulative and not exclusive.
The failure of the Mortgagee to exercise the option for acceleration of
maturity and/or foreclosure following any default as aforesaid or to exercise
any other option granted to the Mortgagee in any one or more instances and the
acceptance by the Mortgagee of partial payments hereunder shall not constitute a
waiver of any such default nor extend or affect the grace period, if any, but
such option shall remain continuously in force.
Acceleration of maturity, once claimed hereunder by the Mortgagee, may, at
the option of the Mortgagee, be rescinded by written acknowledgement to that
effect by the Mortgagee, but the tender and acceptance of partial payments alone
shall not in any way affect or rescind such acceleration of maturity, nor extend
or affect the grace period, if any.
EIGHTEENTH: ASSIGNMENT.
As further security for the payment of the indebtedness hereby secured, the
Mortgagor hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers, and sets over to the Mortgagee
all of the Mortgagor's right, title, and interest in and to all leases and/or
subleases (hereinafter referred to collectively as "leases") affecting the
Mortgaged Premises to which the Mortgagor is or hereafter shall be a party,
together with any and all further leases upon all or any part of the Mortgaged
Premises and together will all of the rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues
and profits from or due or arising out of the Mortgaged Premises, it being
understood that the Mortgagor will from time to time, promptly upon request by
Mortgagee, execute and deliver to the Mortgagee a specific, present, and
irrevocable assignment satisfactory in substance and form to the Mortgagee, of
all
20
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
of the Mortgagor's right, title, and interest in, to, and under each lease
affecting the Mortgaged Premises, it being understood and agreed that every such
lease shall be subordinate to the lien of the mortgage hereby constituted. The
Mortgagor will promptly give the Mortgagee notice in the event that the tenant
under any such lease of the Mortgaged Premises shall institute any judicial or
administrative proceeding under the Reasonable Rents Act of Puerto Rico or any
similar statute at the time in effect for the reduction of the rent payable by
such tenant.
NINETEENTH: RELEASES.
The Mortgagee may, without notice and without regard to the consideration, if
any, paid therefor, and notwithstanding the existence at that time of any
inferior liens thereof, release any part of the security described herein or by
any person liable for any indebtedness secured hereby, without in any way
affecting the priority of the lien of the mortgage hereby constituted, to the
full extent of the indebtedness remaining unpaid hereunder, upon any part of the
security not expressly released, and may agree with any party obligated on said
indebtedness or having any interest in the security described herein to extend
the time for payment of any part or all of the indebtedness secured hereby. Such
agreement shall not in any way release or impair the lien of said mortgage, but
shall extend such lien as against the title of all partes having any interest in
said security which interest is subject to such lien.
In the event the Mortgagee (i) releases, as aforesaid, any party of the
security described herein or any person liable for any indebtedness secured
hereby; or (ii) grants an extension of time for any payments of the indebtedness
secured hereby; or (iii) takes other or additional security for the payment
thereof; or (iv) waives or fails to exercise any right granted in this deed or
in the Note, said act or omission shall not release the Mortgagor or any make,
endorser or
21
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
surety of the mortgage hereby constituted or of the Note or under any covenant
of this deed or of the Note, nor preclude the Mortgagee from exercising any
right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event
of any other default then made or any subsequent default.
TWENTIETH: MISCELLANEOUS.
Mortgagor will not exercise any right which he might have to cancel the record
of the Mortgage by reason of lapse of time counted from the date of the
constitution of the Mortgage either under the applicable provisions of the
Mortgage Law or otherwise and further agrees, whenever requested by the
Mortgagee, to execute and file in the appropriate Registry, at Mortgagor's costs
and expense, any and all supplemental instruments which may be necessary or
convenient for the preservation of the lien of the mortgage until full payment
of the Mortgage Note or debt so secured by the lien upon the Mortgaged Premises.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Mortgagor agrees that:
(a) Unless the Mortgagee shall consent in writing to the
cancellation of the Mortgage at an earlier date, the Mortgage shall be
conclusively presumed to subsist until full payment to the Mortgagee of all
amounts lent and secured hereunder, and the Mortgagor does hereby waive any
right which he might otherwise have under the Mortgage Law of Puerto Rico to
apply for an earlier cancellation of the record of the Mortgage.
(b) The Mortgagor will give immediate notice by mail to the
Mortgagee of any conveyance, transfer or change of ownership or of occupancy of
the Mortgaged Premises or any part thereof.
22
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
(c) Nothing herein contained nor any transaction related thereto
shall be construed or shall operate, either presently or prospectively, to
require the Mortgagor to make any payment or do any act contrary to law, but if
any clause and provision herein contained shall otherwise so operate to
invalidate the mortgage hereby constituted, in whole or in part, then such
clause and provision shall be held for naught as though not herein contained and
the remainder of this deed shall remain operative and in full force and effect.
(d) The Mortgagor will, within ten (10) days after written request
by the Mortgagee, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Mortgagee a chattel
mortgage, security agreement or other similar security instrument in form
satisfactory to the Mortgagee, covering all property of any kind whatsoever
owned by the Mortgagor, which, in the reasonable opinion of the Mortgagee, is
required for the operation of the Mortgaged Premises and may not be covered by
the lien of the mortgage hereby constituted under the laws of the Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico, and will further execute, acknowledge and deliver any financing
statement, affidavit, continuation statement or certificate or other document
requested by the Mortgagee in order to perfect, preserve, maintain, continue and
extend the security interest under and the priority of such chattel mortgage or
other security instrument, it being understood that the Mortgagor will pay to
the Mortgagee on demand all costs and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in
connection with the preparation, execution, recording and filing of any such
document.
(e) Whenever in this deed or in the Mortgage Note or by law, notice
or demand shall be required to be given by the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor, such
notice or demand shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered to an officer
or employee of the Mortgagor, or if
23
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
mailed to the Mortgagor addressed to it at its last address actually furnished
to the Mortgagee or at the Mortgaged premises.
(f) In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law, or
otherwise, of all or any part of the Mortgaged Premises, the Mortgagee is hereby
authorized and empowered to deal with such vendee or transferee with reference
to the Mortgaged Premises, or the debt secured hereby, or with reference to any
of the terms or conditions hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might
with the Mortgagor, without in any way releasing or discharging the Mortgagor
from its liability or undertakings hereunder. The term "Mortgagor" as used
herein shall mean and include the Mortgagor appearing herein and any title
holder, in whole or in part, of the Mortgaged Premises.
(g) All of the covenants hereof shall run with the Mortgaged Premises.

(i) not store (except in compliance with all laws, ordinances,
and regulations pertaining thereto), dispose of, release or allow the release of

seq., ("RCRA") and regulations promulgated thereunder; provided, in the event
either CERCLA or RCRA is amended so as to broaden the meaning of any term
defined thereby, such broader meaning shall apply as of the effective date such
amendment and provided further, to the extent that the laws of the jurisdiction
where the Mortgaged Premises is located establish a meaning for "hazardous
substance", "release", "solid waste", or "disposal" which is broader than
specified in either CERCLA or RCRA, such broader meaning shall apply.
(b) Environmental Assessments. In addition to the Mortgagee's rights
under Section (a)(iii), the Mortgagee may, at its election, if there is
reasonable cause to suspect some environmental damage has occurred without
regard to whether Mortgagor is in default hereunder

Mortgaged Premises prepared by a geohydrologist, and independent engineer or
other qualified consultant or expert approved by the Mortgagee evaluating or

and all other applicable environmental laws. Environmental assessments may
