ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
Termination of Westin Management Agreement
On July 15, 2004,
we entered in to a Management Agreement with Westin. The Management
Agreement provided, among other things, that Westin would manage the
Resort. By mutual agreement, on September 28, 2006, we entered in to a
Termination and Release Agreement (the Termination Agreement) with Westin
pursuant to which we and Westin agreed to terminate the Management Agreement as
of October 31, 2006 (the Termination Date). In addition to the
termination of the Management Agreement, the Termination Agreement provides
that (i) on or prior to October 3, 2006, we or GTA shall deposit $600 in the
Resorts operating account (which we did)
to be used in part to pay to Westin certain fees and charges accrued
under the Management Agreement and which are expected to approximate this
amount; (ii) on or prior to the earlier of March 31, 2008, or sale of the
Resort by us, we will pay to Westin the termination fee provided under Section
4.4.2 of the Management Agreement calculated as of the Termination Date, estimated
at $5,600; and (iii) Westin shall permit us to continue to access Westins SAP
accounting system (which they have) for the operation of the Resort until March
31, 2007 for a total charge of $6,000. The
owner plans to independently manage the Resort as of the Termination Date and
no longer use the Westin brand or their reservation system.

Amendment
of Parcel F Defense and Escrow Agreement
On December 28,
2006, we together with GTA and GTA, LP entered into a First Amendment to
Defense and Escrow Agreement (the Amendment) with GHR and the Escrow
Agent. The Amendment, among other things, amends the distributions from a
sale of Parcel F under the Defense and Escrow Agreement to reduce the
distributions to us by $10and to reduce the distributions to GTA, LP by
$700. The Amendment also provides that, in the event that the purchaser
of Parcel F (Parcel F, LLC) receives a return of its earnest money
deposit pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement for the Sale and Purchase
of Real Property - Parcel F between GHR and Parcel F, LLC, dated
June 29, 2004 (as amended), the GHR shall receive an offsetting payment of
the lesser of $200, or the amount of earnest money returned to Parcel F,
LLC. The Defense and Escrow Agreement was included as Exhibit 10.2
to GTAs Current Report on Form 8-K which was filed on July 29, 2004.
In connection with the execution of the Amendment, GTA and Elk Funding
entered into the Loan Satisfaction Agreement which provided, among other
things, that when GHR receives $710 (which occurred on or about December 28,
2006) pursuant to the terms of the
Amendment (i) GTAs obligations to Elk Funding under Note A shall be deemed to
be paid in full and satisfied, (ii) the loan documents between GTA and Elk
Funding shall be deemed terminated and neither party shall have any further obligations under such documents
and (iii) the Assignment of Defense and Escrow Agreement and the security
interest created by such agreement shall be deemed terminated.
As
further consideration for the satisfaction of Note A, GTA consented to the
extension of the closing deadline pursuant to the Second Amendment to the
Amended and Restated Agreement for Sale and Purchase of Real Property Parcel
F between GHR and Parcel F, LLC.
Elk Funding
also consented to the Amendment as part of the Loan Satisfaction
Agreement. Note A, made in the principal amount of $700, was secured by
the Assignment of Defense and Escrow Agreement between GTA and Elk
Funding. Note A, Note B (which was previously repaid by GTA) and the loan
agreement relating to both notes were included as Exhibit 10.7 to GTAs Current
Report Form 8-K which was filed on July 29, 2004.
The Amendment was
included as
Exhibit 10.2.2
to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on
January 4, 2007. The description of the Amendment and the Loan
Satisfaction Agreement are qualified in their entirety by the contents thereof.
On December 28,
2006, Note A was deemed satisfied, the obligations of the parties under the
related loan documents were deemed terminated, and the Assignment of Defense
and Escrow Agreement and the security interest created by such agreement were
deemed terminated.
