10.6 | No Waiver. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by either party to or of any breach or default by the other party in the performance by the other party of its obligations |
24
hereunder will be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by such party hereunder; failure on the part of either party hereto to declare such other party in default, irrespective of how long such act continues, will not constitute a waiver by such party of its rights hereunder. |
10.7 | Invalidity.

GRID PROMISSORY NOTE
(GRID SCHEDULE ATTACHED)
December 3, 2004
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, R&H US CANADIAN PROPERTY LIMITED, solely in its capacity as trustee of US CANADIAN PROPERTY TRUST ALPHA (the “Maker”), does hereby unconditionally promise to pay to INTRAWEST RESORTS, INC. (the “Holder”) or order at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx X, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, X.X.X., 00000 or at such other place as the Holder may from time to time direct, the outstanding principal amount from time to time of the First Tier Loan made by the Holder to the Maker pursuant to the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), and to pay interest on the principal amount of the First Tier Loan outstanding from time to time, after as well as before maturity, default and judgment, at the rates provided for in, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of, the Credit Agreement.
Reference is made to the credit agreement (such credit agreement as the same may from time to time be restated, modified, supplemented or amended and in effect is herein referred to as the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of December 3, 2004 between the Maker and the Holder. This is the grid promissory note referred to in section 2.2 of the Credit Agreement and it bears all of the rights, benefits and obligations provided for in the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Credit Agreement provides for the rate of interest payable upon the principal amount of the First Tier Loan outstanding from time to time, the method, times and place for payments of interest, principal and other amounts with respect to the First Tier Loan, and the Holder’s entitlement to payment of amounts outstanding hereunder and thereunder. In accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default all amounts outstanding hereunder will, at the option of the Holder, become immediately due and payable in full.
The Maker acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the state of the grid schedule attached hereto, the actual recording of the advance of the First Tier Loan and any payment or repayment made in respect of any First Tier Loan Indebtedness in accordance with the Credit Agreement in the records of the Holder maintained by the Holder for such purpose will constitute prima facie proof of the First Tier Loan Indebtedness from time to time; provided that the failure of the Holder to record any such advance or payment or repayment in such records or the failure of the Holder to record any such advance or payment or repayment on the grid schedule attached hereto will not affect the obligation of the Maker to pay any and all First Tier Loan Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Time shall be of the essence of this Note. All payments of principal and interest shall be made in lawful currency of the United States of America, at the place and times and for value on the date due as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.
PRESENTMENT, DEMAND, PROTEST AND NOTICE OF DISHONOUR AND NON-PAYMENT ARE HEREBY WAIVED BY THE MAKER.

GRID PROMISSORY NOTE
(GRID SCHEDULE ATTACHED)
December 3, 2004
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, R&H US CANADIAN PROPERTY LIMITED, solely in its capacity as trustee of US CANADIAN PROPERTY TRUST ALPHA (the “Maker”), does hereby unconditionally promise to pay to INTRAWEST RESORTS, INC. (the “Holder”) or order at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx X, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, X.X.X., 00000 or at such other place as the Holder may from time to time direct, the outstanding principal amount from time to time of the Second Tier Loan made by the Holder to the Maker pursuant to the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), and to pay interest on the principal amount of the Second Tier Loan outstanding from time to time, after as well as before maturity, default and judgment, at the rates provided for in, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of, the Credit Agreement.
Reference is made to the credit agreement (such credit agreement as the same may from time to time be restated, modified, supplemented or amended and in effect is herein referred to as the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of December 3, 2004 between the Maker and the Holder. This is the grid promissory note referred to in section 3.2 of the Credit Agreement and it bears all of the rights, benefits and obligations provided for in the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Credit Agreement provides for the rate of interest payable upon the principal amount of the Second Tier Loan outstanding from time to time, the method, times and place for payments of interest, principal and other amounts with respect to the Second Tier Loan, and the Holder’s entitlement to payment of amounts outstanding hereunder and thereunder. In accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default all amounts outstanding hereunder will, at the option of the Holder, become immediately due and payable in full.
The Maker acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the state of the grid schedule attached hereto, the actual recording of advances of the Second Tier Loan and any payment or repayment made in respect of any Second Tier Loan Indebtedness in accordance with the Credit Agreement in the records of the Holder maintained by the Holder for such purpose will constitute prima facie proof of the Second Tier Loan Indebtedness from time to time; provided that the failure of the Holder to record any such advance or payment or repayment in such records or the failure of the Holder to record any such advance or payment or repayment on the grid schedule attached hereto will not affect the obligation of the Maker to pay any and all Second Tier Loan Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Time shall be of the essence of this Note. All payments of principal and interest shall be made in lawful currency of the United States of America, at the place and times and for value on the date due as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.
PRESENTMENT, DEMAND, PROTEST AND NOTICE OF DISHONOUR AND NON-PAYMENT ARE HEREBY WAIVED BY THE MAKER.
