The deposit into trust, and the retention for the duration of the trust, of nondelinquent installment sales contracts or promissory notes of time-share interests purchases having an aggregate principal balance owing not ordinarily less than 150 percent of the difference between the aggregate principal balance owing under blanket encumbrances against the accommodation and the amount of money, or its equivalent, in the trust and available at any time to be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the blanket encumbrances.
(A)
The trust instrument shall further provide that if the 150 percent requirement has not been met within six months after execution of the trust instrument by the developer, the trustee shall thereafter retain in the trust, or apply to debt service on the blanket encumbrance, the entire amount of all installment payments received on contracts or promissory notes until the 150 percent requirement has been met.
