or Floating-Time Villa Vacation Plans for the 2013 calendar year are $683. The annual
Membership Dues for Purchasers of One-Week, Flex Time Villa Vacations Plans for 2013 are
$698. Annual Membership Dues for Purchasers of Alternate Year Villa Vacation Plans are onehalf of the then current annual Membership Dues for a one-week Villa Vacation Plan (presently

adjustment for electrical and propane cost not to exceed 10% of the prior year cost or 10% of the
prior year's Membership Dues.

Property as described above exceed the aggregate Membership Dues due for Villa Vacation
Plans sold, then the Sponsor is responsible for paying any shortfall. However, the Sponsor may
increase the Membership Dues per Villa Vacation Plan annually in its discretion as it sees fit.
No bond or other security nas been furnished to secure the performance of the Sponsor's
obligations. The ability of the Sponsor to perform its obligations will depend upon its financial
condition at the time it is called upon to perform. The Sponsor has no obligation to pay annual
Membership Dues on unsold Villa Vacation Plans. '

Owners are charged for use of various amenities. The charges for said amenities are outlined in
"Schedule C - Amenity Fees" at Page 65 and in "Schedule D - Resort Facilities" at Page 66.

All employees are non-union. The foregoing wage rates do not violate applicable
minimum wage laws.
5.
Utilities. All Units are gas/electric heated, electrically cooled and all appliances
are operated by electricity. Electricity is supplied by General Public Utilities. The Budget
reflects the current charge per kilowatt hour, plus customer charges, 6% tax and reasonably
anticipated increases. In addition, the Budget reflects the estimated electric consumption for the
common areas and the proportionate share of the electricity expense for the Resort Facilities and
operations offices.
The estimated amount of propane gas usage is based upon prior experience of the
Sponsor as to each Villa's annual usage. The clubhouse and swimming pool complex consume
propane also.
6.
Water charges and Sewer rents. This projection is based on a proportionate
estimate of actual usage charges to the Property plus reasonably anticipated increases.
7.
Repairs, maintenance and supplies. The material components of the expense for
repairs and maintenance includes interior repairs, roofing, exterior repairs including walls,
foundations, windows, doors and locks, repairs to heating systems including fuel burners, decks,
boilers, pipes and radiators, plumbing, electrical, pest extermination, grounds maintenance
including snow removal, gardening and landscaping, janitorial supplies, furniture and fixture
replacement (on an as needed basis), and painting of COTIllIlon areas.
8.
Insurance. The projected cost of insurance insuring the interest of the Sponsor, is
based on Blanket All Risk coverage as follows:
Item Covered
Amount
Exposure Insured Against
Buildings
$64,828,000*
Fire, all risk, extended coverage (exclusive of
terrorist acts.)
Building contents
Comprehensive
general liability
Umbrella liability

Contents
Personal injuries and property damage, per
occurrence
Personal injuries and property damage, per
occurrence
* $ 25,000 per occurrence deductible
**$100,000 per occurrence deductible
The foregoing insurance coverage does not include coverage for losses of individual
Purchasers. Each Villa Vacation Plan Owner is an additional insured under the fire and casualty
and general liability policies on the Project.
In the event of damage to or the destruction of a Villa, the Sponsor has agreed to use its
best efforts to repair or rebuild the Villa in a reasonable period of time. In the event that a
Purchaser is unable to use a Villa due to such damage or destruction, the Sponsor will attempt to
make alternative time, which is acceptable to such Purchaser, available to such Purchaser or, in.
the alternative, shall extend the period of the Purchaser's Villa Vacation Plan to equal the
amount of time lost by such Purchaser.
The insurance placed by the Sponsor is adequate to replace the Villas in the event of a
total loss. Villa Vacation Plan Owners will not be co-insurers of the Villas. Villa Vacation Plan
Owners are not given the option to forego repair in order to have insurance proceeds applied to
the debt outstanding against their Villa Vacation Plan.
The fire, casualty and general liability insurers waive their subrogation rights against
Purchasers. No act or omission by a Purchaser will void the insurance policies. There is no prorata reduction in coverage in the event a Purchaser has an individual policy which provides
overlapping coverage. Insurance coverage meeting the requirements set forth in this paragraph
will be maintained at all times by the Sponsor.
9.
Management Fees. The Sponsor no longer charges a Management Fee but
reserves the right to institute this fee again in the future.
10.
Real Estate Taxes. The estimated amount is based upon actual 2013 assessed
valuation for the Property. The Township of Middle Smithfield is the assessing authority for real
estate taxes. The East Stroudsburg School District is the assessing authority for school taxes.
11.
TV Cable. Based upon monthly charge for each Villa.
12.
Laundry. All housekeeping, office and laundry supplies are estimated based on
the Sponsor's prior experience.
13.
Telephone. Each Villa
provided by Verizon Communications.
IS
equipped with a telephone. Telephone service
IS
14.
Total Estimated Income and Expenses. The Sponsor is not required to segregate
monies for any particular Villa or Villas and may spend monies received in payment of
Membership Dues for the benefit of one or more of the Villas or the Property as needed.
