         agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative

         Pledge Agreement will secure, on a pari passu basis, the Steamboat
         Obligations under the Amended LSA and the obligations of the Parent
         under the Fleet/ASCRP Loan Documents. GSRP hereby grants a security
         interest to the Administrative Agent in and to the aforesaid
         intercompany indebtedness of the Parent owing to GSRP as additional
         collateral for the Steamboat Obligations and such intercompany
         indebtedness shall be deemed to be part of the Collateral.

         an escrow letter (the "2001 Escrow Letter") among Transnation Title

         provide, subject to the terms thereof, for the payment of the proceeds
         of the Final Steamboat Construction Cost Advance to First Colorado/PCL.

                  2.13 Textron Financial Corporation, in its individual lending
         capacity under that certain Statement of Intention and Special
         Additional Financing Agreement dated as of July 25, 2000, as amended,
         shall have extended to GSRP up to an additional $3,058,336.15 in
         advances.

                  2.14 The mechanic's lien recorded by IBI Group ($166,431.15)

         over under the Title Insurance Policy {Blanket} or an endorsement
         thereto.

         3. Waiver. Upon this Fifth Amendment Agreement becoming effective on
the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, each Default and/or Event of Default
existing at such time and arising from or otherwise in respect of the failure of
GSRP to perform its obligations under the Existing LSA or any of the Steamboat
Security Documents with respect to or in respect of (a) the Steamboat Assignment
of ~Construction Contract (including, without limitation, any improper
notification of change orders thereunder), (b) the disputes under the Steamboat
Construction Contract which are the subject of the Steamboat Settlement
Agreement, (c) the Steamboat Construction Project Borrowing Base and Section
2.5(c)(ii) of the Existing LSA, (d) the Completion Date for the Steamboat
Project, and (e) Sections 3.8 and 7.2(i) of the Existing LSA with respect to the

occurring prior to the date hereof or hereafter) shall be deemed waived, and the
Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the Lenders hereby reserves all of
its and their respective rights and remedies under the Amended LSA, the other
Security Documents, at law and in equity with respect thereto.



                                       11

         4. Release of Northeastern Commercial Core Assets. Upon this Fifth
Amendment Agreement becoming effective on the Fifth Amendment Effective Date,
the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver partial releases of the
Blanket Mortgages and the other Security Documents in respect of the
Northeastern Commercial Core Assets as well as the Beneficial Improvements
Agreements and Host Company Lease Agreements (if any) related thereto (and the
Lenders hereby so instruct the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent
agrees to deliver such partial releases in escrow to an escrowee acceptable to
the Administrative Agent and pursuant to an escrow agreement among GSRP, the
Parent, Oak Hill, Fleet National Bank and the Administrative Agent that shall be
in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. No other
Collateral shall be released or deemed released by virtue thereof.

         5. Maximum Permitted Outstanding Principal Amount. Upon this Fifth
Amendment Agreement becoming effective on the Fifth Amendment Effective Date,
(a) Section 2.5(c)(iii) of the Existing LSA is hereby amended and restated in
its entirety as follows:

                           (iii) If on each of the following test dates the
                  aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances exceeds
                  the maximum outstanding principal amount of Advances set forth
                  below, GSRP shall immediately pay the amount of such excess to
                  the Administrative Agent together with interest accrued
                  thereon to (but not including) the date of such payment and
                  such amounts shall be applied by the Administrative Agent when
                  received in good, collected funds as set forth in Section
                  2.5(d) hereof ratably to all Advances:



Test Date                       Maximum Outstanding Principal Amount of Advances

March 31, 2002                                    $50,000,000

March 31, 2003                                    $0

(b) Section 7.2(h) of the Existing LSA is hereby amended to allow for the
incurrence of the indebtedness in respect of the Colorado First/PCL Promissory
Note, (c) Section 7.2(i) of the Existing LSA is hereby amended to allow for the
hypothecation by GSRP of the collateral under the Steamboat Cash Pledge
Agreement in favor of the agent under the Fleet/ASCRP Loan Documents, provided
that GSRP shall not become liable in respect of any of the obligations under the
Fleet/ASCRP Loan Documents and the security interest of the agent under the
Fleet/ASCRP Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent shall be of equal
priority (any provision in the Existing LSA or any of the other Security
Documents requiring that the security interest of the Administrative Agent in
and to the collateral under the Steamboat Cash Pledge Agreement be a first
priority security interest is hereby modified to give effect to the equal
ranking of the security interest of the aforesaid agent in and to such
collateral) and (d) Schedule 3 (Schedule of Minimum Release Prices) to the
Existing LSA is hereby amended by replacing the portion thereof styled "The
Grand Summit Resort Hotel at Steamboat Inventory Report" with the Schedule set
forth hereto as Schedule 4 (said Schedule 4 to have a column showing the unit
number for each unsold Steamboat Quartershare Interest , a column showing the
type of unit for each unsold Steamboat Quartershare Interest, a column showing
the quartershare associated with each such unsold Steamboat Quartershare


                                       12
<PAGE>

Interest, a column showing the "minimum release dollar amount" for each such
unsold Steamboat Quartershare Interest immediately prior to the Fifth Amendment
Effective Date and a column showing the "minimum release dollar amount" for each
such unsold Steamboat Quartershare Interest immediately after the Fifth
Amendment Effective Date; except as set forth in this clause (d), Schedule 3 to
the Existing LSA shall not be amended or modified.

         6. Steamboat Waiver, Extension and Restructuring Fee. In consideration
of the Steamboat Lenders agreeing to enter into this Fifth Amendment Agreement,
to waive certain Defaults and Events of Default with respect to the Steamboat
Project and the Steamboat Obligations, to extend the Steamboat Construction
Project Advances Maturity Date and the Steamboat Commitment Period, to waive
certain conditions precedent in respect of making the Final Steamboat
Construction Cost Advance, to share Release Prices in respect of the Steamboat
Non-Penthouse Quartershare Interests with First Colorado/PCL, and to release the
Northeastern Commercial Core Assets as part of the Collateral, GSRP agrees to
pay to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Steamboat Lenders the Steamboat
Waiver, Extension and Restructuring Fee (to be shared by, and paid to, the
Steamboat Lenders ratably based upon the principal amount of the Steamboat Loan
held by each of them as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date; successors and/or
assigns of the Steamboat Lenders that are parties hereto shall be entitled to
their ratable share of the portion of such fee that would have otherwise been
paid to such party or parties). Said fee shall be deemed earned as of the date
hereof, shall be part of the Steamboat Obligations, shall not bear interest,
shall be secured by the Collateral, and shall be payable on and after the date
on which the Steamboat Loan has been paid in full from Release Prices generated
from sales of Steamboat Quartershare Interests and, after the Canyons
Obligations have been paid in full, from Release Prices generated from sales of
Canyons Quartershare Interests and all other Quartershare Interests.

         7. Steamboat Settlement Agreement. GSRP hereby confirms to the
Administrative Agent that the Collateral includes the rights (but not the
obligations) of GSRP under the Steamboat Settlement Agreement (and for the
avoidance of doubt, GSRP hereby grants to Administrative Agent a security
interest and lien in and to its rights (but not obligations) under the Steamboat
Settlement Agreement).

         8. Sales of Steamboat Quartershare Interests; Colorado First/PCL
Documents and the Steamboat Settlement Agreement. Anything contained in the
Existing LSA to the contrary ~notwithstanding, failure by GSRP to comply with
its undertakings in the Colorado First/PCL Promissory Note and/or in the
Colorado First/PCL Deed of Trust shall constitute an immediate Event of Default,
provided that GSRP's failure to pay in full on the maturity date of the Colorado
First/PCL Promissory Note all amounts then due thereunder shall not constitute
an event of default under the Amended LSA or any of the other Security Documents
(including, without limitation, Section 8.1(h) of the Amended LSA). The
foregoing notwithstanding, it shall be an immediate Event of Default if GSRP
shall have failed to close sufficient sales of Steamboat Quartershare Interests
prior to May 17, 2002 in order to fully pay the Colorado First/PCL Promissory
Note and to obtain the full release of the Colorado First/PCL Deed of Trust by
such date. GSRP shall not amend or modify the Colorado First/PCL Promissory
Note, Colorado First/PCL Deed of Trust or the Steamboat Settlement Agreement
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

         9. Penthouse Construction. GSRP agrees to complete the construction of
all of the Steamboat Residential Units located in the penthouse of the Steamboat
Project on or prior to December 31, 2001 in accordance with the Plans for the
Steamboat Project and to obtain by such date for each of such Units a
certificate of occupancy issued by Routt County, Colorado. GSRP agrees to
promptly provide to the Administrative Agent copies of all construction
contracts in connection with the aforesaid completion of said "penthouse units",
which contracts shall be fixed price contracts and shall, in the aggregate,


                                       13
<PAGE>

demonstrate that the completion of construction of said "penthouse units" (in
accordance with the Plans for the Steamboat Project and on or prior to December
31, 2001) can be effected for a fixed price not in excess of $1,600,000 and
shall otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent. GSRP agrees to effect no change order and initiate or otherwise allow no
construction change directives in respect of such construction contracts without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. All contractors,
subcontractors, suppliers and laborers in respect of the completion of the
construction of the "penthouse units" shall, to the extent requested by
Administrative Agent, subordinate and make junior to the liens of the
Administrative Agent in and to the Steamboat Project all of their respective
mechanic's, materialmen's and laborer's liens, and the subordination
documentation in respect thereof shall be satisfactory in both form and
substance to the Administrative Agent. All construction contracts in respect of
the completion of the "penthouse units" shall be collaterally assigned to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to assignment documents in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each contractor thereunder shall
have consented to such assignment in a written consent that shall also be in
form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. GSRP acknowledges
that the Lenders are providing limited financing for the completion of the
construction of the "penthouse units" through the Steamboat Penthouse
Construction Advances, which shall only be available until the end of the
Steamboat Commitment Period, shall be subject to the same conditions precedent
as any other Steamboat Construction Project Advance is subject to under the
Existing LSA (except for such changes in such conditions as shall be required by
there being a new general contractor to complete the construction of the
"penthouse units" and there being a new "Steamboat construction budget" which
shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; but including, in any case,
the submission of all required construction cost certificates, architect's
certificates, and mechanic's lien waivers), shall be subject to the Parent's
making the necessary funds available to GSRP on a timely basis to cover
projected liquidity shortfalls in the Budget, and shall be subject to no Default
or Event of Default existing under the Amended LSA or any default or event of
default under the Fleet/ASCRP Loan Documents. The Lenders and the Administrative
Agent agree that the pledged cash under the Steamboat Cash Pledge Agreement may
be used to pay for, in part, the completion of such construction and such cash
shall be made available to GSRP on the same terms and conditions as any
Steamboat Penthouse Construction Advance is made available above to GSRP
(subject to such additional conditions of release as may be set forth in the
Steamboat Cash Pledge Agreement) and shall be made available to GSRP for such
purposes only when GSRP shall have fully utilized the aforesaid limited
financing under the Amended LSA and under the Statement of Intention and Special
Additional Financing Agreement referred to in Section 12.5 hereof. Disbursements
in respect of the construction of the "penthouse units" may, at the discretion
of the Administrative Agent, be pursuant to a disbursement agent in Colorado and
GSRP agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such disbursement agent.
For the avoidance of doubt, Section 3.8 of the Existing LSA shall continue to
have full application to the completion of the construction of the aforesaid
"penthouse units." Prior to commencing the work with respect to the aforesaid
"penthouse units," GSRP shall certify and otherwise demonstrate to the
Administrative Agent that it has sufficient cash on hand or other cash
equivalent availability to pay for all costs in respect of such work and that it
or its Parent has taken appropriate measures to assure the continued
availability of such cash or cash equivalents (all of which shall be
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). Upon the issuance of final
certificates of occupancy for each of the Steamboat Residential Units located in
the penthouse of the Steamboat Project, the Administrative Agent shall release
its lien and security interest in the remaining amount of cash pledged under the
Steamboat Cash Pledge Agreement. Upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy
for any of the aforesaid "penthouse units," GSRP shall promptly close any
Contracts in respect thereof.

         10. Miscellaneous; Events of Defaults. The covenants and undertakings
of GSRP set forth in this Fifth Amendment Agreement shall be incorporated into
and made a part of the Existing LSA. All of the other Security Documents are
hereby automatically amended and modified to give effect to this Fifth Amendment


                                       14
<PAGE>

Agreement. Each of the holders of Canyons Construction Project Advance Notes and
Steamboat Construction Project Advance Notes shall attach a copy of this Fifth
Amendment Agreement to each of said Notes. GSRP and the Lenders agree that,
anything contained in the Existing LSA to the contrary notwithstanding, (a)
different Interest Rates shall apply to the Steamboat Obligations and the
Canyons Obligations, as provided above in Section 1 of this Fifth Amendment
Agreement, (b) the Steamboat Waiver, Extension and Restructuring Fee shall be
payable solely to the Steamboat Lenders, (c) different Maturity Dates apply to
the Canyons Loan and the Steamboat Loan, and (d) the Steamboat Cash Pledge
Agreement and the pledged rights of GSRP under the Steamboat Settlement
Agreement, while constituting Collateral, shall inure solely to the benefit of
the Steamboat Lenders and shall solely secure the Steamboat Obligations.
Anything contained in the Existing LSA to the contrary notwithstanding, failure
by GSRP to comply with its undertakings in Sections 8 or 9 of this Fifth
Amendment Agreement shall constitute an immediate Event of Default. Anything
contained in the Existing LSA to the contrary notwithstanding, any failure by
the Parent to make funds available to GSRP to cover projected cash shortfalls
under the Budget as contemplated herein (whether such failure is a result of the
Parent not having access to such funds under the Fleet/ASCRP Loan Documents or
otherwise) shall constitute an immediate Event of Default. The terms and
provisions of the Steamboat Collateral Sharing Agreement shall, with respect to
the Steamboat Non-Penthouse Quartershare Interests, take precedence over the
application of proceeds provisions of Section 8.2(c)(i) of the Existing LSA.
GSRP and the Lenders agree that the Steamboat Loan and Canyons Loan shall
continue to be evidenced by the Steamboat Construction Project Advance Notes and
the Canyons Construction Project Advance Notes, respectively, and any reference
in the Existing LSA or other Security Documents to the "Steamboat Inventory
Advance Notes, "Canyons Inventory Advance Notes" and/or "Inventory Notes" shall
be deemed to be a reference to the Steamboat Construction Project Advance Notes
and the Canyons Construction Project Advance Notes, as the case may be. The
Administrative Agent is hereby instructed to disburse to the Lenders (on a
ratable basis based on their respective holdings of Steamboat Obligations and
the Canyons Obligations) on the Fifth Amendment Effective Date all amounts, if
any, in the Cash Collateral Account for application by such Lenders to the
Obligations and to disburse, on each date on which interest is otherwise
scheduled to be paid on the Notes after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date (or
more frequently as the Administrative Agent may elect) to the Lenders (on a
ratable basis based on their respective holdings of Steamboat Obligations and
the Canyons Obligations) any amounts that are or would have been deposited into
the Cash Collateral Account under the Existing LSA for application by such
Lenders to the Obligations.

         Textron Financial Corporation, in its individual capacity as a Canyons
Construction Project Advance Lender, agrees, anything contained herein or in the
Amended LSA to the contrary notwithstanding, that its Canyons Construction
Project Advance Note and the portion of the Canyons Loan evidenced thereby shall
bear, after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, interest at a rate of interest
as provided herein for the Canyons Loan except that the interest rate "floor"
shall not be 9.50% per ~annum but rather 9.0% per annum. The immediately
preceding sentence shall have no application to any Canyons Construction Project
Advance Lender except Textron Financial Corporation.

         11. Representations and Warranties. GSRP hereby represents and warrants
as of the date hereof as follows, which representations and warranties are
hereby incorporated into and made part of the Amended LSA:

                  11.1 Except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 3 attached
         hereto, each of the representations and warranties contained in Section
         3 of the Existing LSA (other than Section 4.4 thereof) is true and
         correct as of the date hereof.

                  11.2 Except with respect to the Permitted Exceptions (as
         defined herein), all Liens granted to the Administrative Agent under


                                       15
<PAGE>

         the Existing LSA and the other Security Documents are duly granted,
         valid, perfected and prior in right to all other Liens that now or
         hereafter may be granted to or held by any other Person.

                  11.3 The execution and delivery of this Fifth Amendment
         Agreement, the Steamboat Cash Pledge Agreement, the Modification
         Documents and the other documents and instruments contemplated herein,
         and compliance by GSRP with all of the provisions of this Fifth
         Amendment Agreement, the Existing LSA, as amended hereby, and each of
         the other documents set forth above are:

                           (i)      within the corporate powers of GSRP; and

                           (ii) valid and legal acts and will not conflict with,
                  or result in any breach in any of the provisions of, or
                  constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any
                  Lien upon any Property of GSRP under the provisions of, any
                  agreement, charter instrument, bylaw or other instrument to
                  which GSRP is a party or by which its Property may be bound.

                  11.4 Neither the nature of GSRP, nor of any of its businesses
         or Properties, nor any relationship between GSRP and any other Person,
         nor any circumstance in connection with the execution or delivery of
         this Fifth Amendment Agreement and the other documents contemplated in
         connection herewith, nor the operation of any Project and the sale, or
         offering for sale, of any Quartershare Interest of any of the Projects
         by GSRP, is such as to require a consent, approval or authorization of,
         or filing, registration or qualification with, any governmental
         authority on the part of GSRP, as a condition of the execution,
         delivery or performance of this Fifth Amendment Agreement, the
         Steamboat Settlement Agreement, the Steamboat Cash Pledge Agreement and
         the other documents contemplated in connection herewith.

                  11.5 GSRP will not be, on or after the date hereof, a party to
         any contract or agreement which restricts its right or ability to incur
         indebtedness under, or prohibits the execution of, or compliance with,
         this Fifth Amendment Agreement by GSRP. GSRP has not agreed or
         consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a
         contingency or otherwise) any of its Property constituting the
         Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a
         Lien other than Permitted Exceptions and all Liens in favor of the
         Administrative Agent in respect of such Collateral remain in full force
         and effect.

                  11.6 GSRP is not entering into this Fifth Amendment Agreement
         and the transactions contemplated hereby, and does not intend to incur
         any obligations hereunder or otherwise make any transfers in connection
         herewith, with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either
         present or future creditors. After giving effect to the consummation of
         the transactions contemplated by this Fifth Amendment Agreement and the
         making of the Advances contemplated hereunder, (a) the assets of GSRP
         at a fair valuation thereof on a going concern basis will not be less
         than its debts, (b) GSRP is not currently engaged in or about to engage
         in a business or transaction for which its remaining assets are
         unreasonably small in relation to such business or transaction, and (c)
         GSRP will be able to pay its respective debts as they become due.
         "Debt" for purposes of this Section 11.6 means any liability on a
         claim, and "claim" means (i) any right to payment, whether or not such
         right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed,
         contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable,
         secured or unsecured, or (ii) any right to an equitable remedy for


                                       16

         breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment,
         whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to

                  11.7 After giving effect to this Fifth Amendment Agreement, no
         Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, nor does any
         event or condition exist that would constitute a Default or an Event of

         Indenture and, after giving effect to the purchase of the Sold
         Commercial Assets by ASC or a subsidiary thereof, no defaults or events
         of default will exist under said Indenture or any other agreement for
         indebtedness for borrowed money, any financing lease or any guaranty of
         any of the foregoing to which ASC or any subsidiary thereof is a party.

         money or in respect of any financing lease or any guarantee issued by
         the Parent in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money or financing
         leases exists. GSRP has not issued and is not otherwise obligated in
         respect of any obligation of the Parent, ASC or any subsidiary of ASC
         for borrowed-money indebtedness, any financing lease or any guaranty.
