It is also the intention of the Lender, Dorfinco and Debtor that the Inventory Facility and the Receivables Facility be cross collateralized and cross defaulted during the term of each loan and with any and all other indebtedness owed to Lender or Dorfinco by any Debtor. This Amendment modifies and amends that certain General Loan and Security Agreement (Receivable Loan Facility) dated as of December 17, 1999 (the "Existing GLSA"). The Existing GLSA established a line of credit of up to $15,000,000 for the benefit of Steamboat Suites, Inc. and Preferred Equities Corporation for the financing of Pledged Notes Receivable from the Steamboat Resort and from the Hilltop Resort (the defined terms, Pledged Notes Receivable, Steamboat Resort and Hilltop Resort shall have the definitions contained in the Existing GLSA). The Existing GLSA, as amended herein will be referred to herein as the "Agreement". Debtor has requested that Lender modify certain terms of the Existing GLSA to incorporate the terms and provisions hereinafter set forth in order to expand the definition of Eligible Notes Receivables to include promissory notes and related deeds of trust and/or mortgages from Preferred Equities additional resort properties consisting of the Brigantine Inn Resort Club and Brigantine Villas in Brigantine, New Jersey and the Ramada Vacation Suites Resort at Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada consisting of Grand Flamingo Terraces and Grand Flamingo Towers and Grand Flamingo Villas and Grand Flamingo Winnick, and The Ramada Vacation Suites Resort at Reno in Reno, Nevada and the Ramada Vacation Suites Resort at Indian Shores in Indian Shores, Florida and the Ramada Vacation Suites Resort at White Sands in Honolulu, Hawaii and to make certain other conforming amendments to the provisions contained therein. Because the resort properties consisting of the Brigantine Inn Resort Club and Brigantine Villas in Brigantine, New Jersey are owned by Brigantine Preferred Properties, Inc., this First Amendment to General Loan and Security Agreement (Receivable Loan Facility) will also evidence the assumption of all Obligations due from Steamboat Suites, Inc. and Preferred Equities Corporation as an additional Obligor.

The provisions of this Agreement, the Notes, and all other Security Documents are hereby modified to the extent necessary to conform with the limitations and provisions of this paragraph, and this paragraph shall govern over all other provisions in any document or agreement now or hereafter existing.
