(a) Excluding any encumbrance placed against the purchaser’s time-share interest securing the purchaser’s payment of purchase money financing for the purchase, the developer shall not be entitled to the release of any funds escrowed under Section 11243 with respect to each time-share interest and any other property or rights to property appurtenant to the time-share interest, including any amenities represented to the purchaser as being part of the time-share plan, until the developer has provided satisfactory evidence to the commissioner of one of the following:

1. (1) The time-share interest, including, but not limited to, a time-share interest in any component sites of a nonspecific time-share interest multisite time-share plan, together with any other property or rights to property appurtenant to the time-share interest, including any amenities represented to the purchaser as being part of the time-share plan, are free and clear of any of the claims of the developer, any owner of the underlying fee, a mortgagee, judgment creditor, or other lienor, or any other person having an interest in or lien or encumbrance against the time-share interest or appurtenant property or property rights.
2. (2) The developer, any owner of the underlying fee, a mortgagee, judgment creditor, or other lienor, or any other person having an interest in or lien or encumbrance against the time-share interest or appurtenant property or property rights, including any amenities represented to the purchaser as being part of the time-share plan, has recorded a subordination and notice to creditors document in the appropriate public records of the jurisdiction in which the time-share interest is located. The subordination document shall expressly and effectively provide that the interest holder’s right, lien, or encumbrance shall not adversely affect, and shall be subordinate to, the rights of the owners of the time-share interests in the time-share plan regardless of the date of purchase, from and after the effective date of the subordination document.
3. (3) The developer, any owner of the underlying fee, a mortgagee, judgment creditor, or other lienor, or any other person having an interest in or lien or encumbrance against the time-share interest or appurtenant property or property rights, including any amenities represented to the purchaser as being part of the time-share plan, has transferred the subject accommodations, amenities, or all use rights in the amenities to a nonprofit organization or owners’ association to be held for the use and benefit of the owners of the time-share plan, which shall act as a fiduciary to the purchasers, the developer has transferred control of the entity to the owners or does not exercise its voting rights in the entity with respect to the subject accommodations or amenities. Prior to the transfer, any lien or other encumbrance against the accommodation or facility shall be made subject to a subordination and notice to creditors’ instrument pursuant to paragraph (2).
4. (4) Alternative arrangements have been made which are adequate to protect the rights of the purchasers of the time-share interests and approved by the commissioner.
