If any installment of Base Rent or Additional Charges (but only as to those Additional Charges which are payable directly to Lessor) shall not be paid within five (5) days after its due date (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 10.1.1(a)), Lessee shall pay Lessor, a late charge (to the extent permitted by law) equal to interest at the Default Rate on the amount of such installment, from the due date of such installment to the date of payment thereof. In the event of any failure by Lessee to pay any Base Rent when due, Lessor shall have all legal, equitable and contractual rights, powers and remedies provided either in this Agreement or by statute or otherwise in the case of non-payment of the Base Rent.

In the event of any failure by Lessee to pay any Additional Charges when due, unless contested pursuant to Article 7, Lessee shall promptly pay and discharge, as Additional Charges, every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added for non-payment or late payment of such items. Lessor shall have all legal, equitable and contractual rights, powers and remedies provided either in this Agreement or by statute or otherwise in the case of non-payment of the Additional Charges as in the case of non payment of the Base Rent.

-11-

3.3 Triple Net Lease. The Rent shall be absolutely net to Lessor so that this Agreement shall yield to Lessor the full amount of the installments or amounts of the Rent throughout the Term, subject to any other provisions of this Agreement which expressly provide otherwise. This Agreement is a net lease and, except to the extent otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement, it is agreed and intended that Rent payable hereunder by Lessee shall be paid without notice, demand, counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction and that Lessee’s obligation to pay all such amounts throughout the Term is absolute and unconditional and, except to the extent otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement, the respective obligations and liabilities of Lessee and Lessor hereunder shall in no way be released, discharged or otherwise affected for any reason, including, without limitation: (a) any defect in the condition, merchantability, design, quality or fitness for use of the Leased Property, or any part thereof, or the failure of the Leased Property to comply with all Legal Requirements, including any inability to occupy or use the Leased Property by reason of such noncompliance; (b) any damage to, removal, abandonment, salvage, loss, theft, scrapping or destruction of or any requisition or taking of the Leased Property, or any part thereof, or any Environmental conditions on the Leased Property or any property in the vicinity of the Leased Property; (c) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or interference with any use of the Leased Property, or any part thereof; (d) any defect in title to or rights to the Leased Property or any lien on such title or rights to the Leased Property; (e) any change, waiver, extension, indulgence or other action or omission or breach in respect of any obligation or liability of or by any Person; (f) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceedings relating to Lessee or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Agreement by any trustee or receiver of Lessee or any other Person, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (g) any right or claim that Lessee has or might have against any Person, including, without limitation, Lessor (other than a monetary default) or any vendor, manufacturer or contractor of or for the Leased Property; (h) any failure on the part of Lessor or any other Person to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, or of any other agreement (other than, with respect to Lessor, a monetary default, as described above); (i) any invalidity, unenforceability, rejection or disaffirmance of this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise against or by Lessee or any provision hereof; (j) the impossibility of performance by Lessee or Lessor, or both; (k) any action by any court, administrative agency or other Government Agencies; (l) any interference, interruption or cessation in the use, possession or quiet enjoyment of the Leased Property or otherwise; or (m) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, and whether or not Lessee shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply or be construed to restrict Lessee’s rights in the event of any act, error or omission by Lessor constituting negligence or willful misconduct. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, (A) this Agreement shall be noncancellable by Lessee for any reason whatsoever and (B) Lessee, to the extent now or hereafter permitted by Legal Requirements, waives all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise to quit, terminate or surrender this Agreement or to any diminution, abatement or reduction of Rent payable hereunder. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, under no circumstances or conditions shall Lessor be expected or required to make any payment of any kind hereunder or have any obligations with respect to the use, possession, control, maintenance, alteration, rebuilding, replacing, repair, restoration or operation of all or any part of the Leased Property, so long as the Leased Property, or any part thereof, is subject to this Agreement, and Lessee expressly waives the right to perform any such action at the expense of Lessor pursuant to any law.

ARTICLE 4

USE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY

4.1 Permitted Use.

4.1.1 Permitted Use. Subject to Force Majeure Events, Lessee shall, at all times during the Term and at any other time that Lessee shall be in possession of the Leased Property, continuously use and operate the Leased Property in accordance with the permitted use therefore set forth in the Real Property Lease (the “Permitted Use”). Lessee shall not use the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, for any use other than the Permitted Use, without the prior written consent of Lessor, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No use shall be made or permitted to be made of the Leased Property and no acts shall be done in connection therewith which will cause the cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Leased Property, or any part thereof (unless another adequate policy is available), nor shall Lessee sell or, to the knowledge of Lessee, otherwise provide or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about the Leased Property any article which may be prohibited by Applicable Law or by the standard form of any insurance policies required to be carried hereunder, or fire underwriter’s regulations. Lessee shall, at its sole cost, comply with all Insurance Requirements. Subject to other applicable terms and provisions in this Agreement, Lessee shall not take or omit to take any action the taking or omission of which materially impairs the value or the usefulness of the Leased Property, or any part thereof, for its Permitted Use.

4.1.2 Necessary Approvals. Subject to Force Majeure Events, Lessee shall obtain and maintain in good standing all permits and approvals necessary to use and operate, for its Permitted Use, the Leased Property under Applicable Law. Lessor shall reasonably cooperate with Lessee in this regard, including executing all applications and consents reasonably required to be signed by Lessor in order for Lessee to obtain and maintain such permits and approvals.

4.1.3 Lawful Use. Lessee shall not use or suffer or permit the use of the Leased Property for any unlawful purpose. Lessee shall not suffer nor permit the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, to be used in such a manner as might reasonably impair Lessor’s title thereto or to any portion thereof.

4.2 Compliance with Legal and Insurance Requirements. Subject to the provisions of hereof (including Article 5, and Article 7) and any other relevant terms or provisions in this Agreement or the Real Property Lease, Lessee, at its sole expense, shall (a) comply with Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements in respect of the use, operation, maintenance, repair, alteration and restoration of the Leased Property, and (b) comply with all appropriate licenses, and other authorizations and agreements required for any use of the Leased Property permitted by this Agreement, and for the proper operation and maintenance of the Leased Property, or any part thereof.

-13-

4.3 Nature of Relationship. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any relationship between Lessor and Lessee other than the relationship of Lessor and Lessee.

ARTICLE 5

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

5.1 Maintenance and Repair.

5.1.1 Lessee’s Obligations.

(a) General.

(i) Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense (except as expressly provided in the Real Property Lease), keep the Leased Property in good order and repair (considering the nature, condition and age of the Leased Property), reasonable wear and tear excepted, and shall promptly make all necessary and appropriate repairs and replacements thereto of every kind and nature, whether structural or nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, or arising by reason of a condition existing prior to the commencement of the Term. All repairs shall be made in a good, workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards for like repairs of a similar nature in like locales, in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, laws, codes, rules and regulations relating to any such work.

(ii) Subject to the terms and provisions in the Real Property Lease, Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, (i) maintain the Leased Property in good repair and working condition, clean and attractive to tourists and patrons of the Leased Property, and in accordance with all safety and maintenance requirements of Government Agencies and shall make such maintenance, repairs and alterations as necessary for such purposes, (ii) cause inspections to be made of all lift equipment on a regular basis in accordance with all requirements of Government Agencies, and (iii) not commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration of the Leased Property (normal wear and tear excepted); (iv) not abandon the Leased Property; (v) comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws applicable to the Leased Property; (vi) provide prompt written notification to Lessor of any material adverse change to the Leased Property, such as a major avalanche or landslide, or any other material change to any physical condition; (vii) promptly undertake appropriate assessment, remedial and preventative actions sufficient to meet any guidelines or regulations adopted by applicable Government Agencies or standards generally employed by similar ski resort facilities in the region in connection with the safety of the ski operations and operating equipment.

(b) Procedure. If Lessor notifies Lessee in writing of the need for Lessee to undertake repairs and maintenance in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.1, specifying in reasonable detail the items of repair or maintenance in

-14-

question, Lessee shall respond within ten (10) Business Days as to Lessee’s planned course of action with respect to the specific items identified by Lessor, or as to such items which Lessee feels are inappropriate, except in the case of an emergency, in which event Lessee shall respond as quickly as the emergency requires and as is practicable under the circumstances. If Lessee disputes Lessor’s determination that repair or maintenance is needed or otherwise fails thereafter to promptly undertake such repairs and maintenance identified by Lessor, Lessor may, at Lessor’s option, request arbitration for resolution of the dispute pursuant to Article 16. If Lessee prevails in such arbitration, Lessee shall have no obligations to make those repairs which the arbitrator determines are not required pursuant hereto. If Lessor prevails in such arbitration, Lessee shall promptly commence and shall diligently pursue to completion all such repairs and maintenance. If the arbitrator awards specific performance to Lessor, such award shall be binding upon Lessee and enforceable in the courts. The prevailing party in any such arbitration and/or in obtaining a court order shall be entitled to all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration proceeding and the enforcement of the award resulting therefrom. If the arbitrator or courts do not specify the time within which such repair or maintenance must be carried out, then Lessee shall present a plan for rectification to Lessor and shall promptly carry out such plan, acting reasonably.

5.1.2 Lessor’s Funding. Lessor shall not, under any circumstances, be required to make any repairs, replacements, alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature or description to the Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary, structural or nonstructural, foreseen or unforeseen, to maintain the Leased Property in any way, or, except as provided in this Agreement or the Real Property Lease, to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Lessee hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the right to make repairs at the expense of Lessor pursuant to any law in effect on the date hereof or hereafter enacted. Lessor shall have the right to give, record and post, as appropriate, notices of nonresponsibility under any mechanic’s lien laws now or hereafter existing.

5.1.3 Nonresponsibility of Lessor. All materialmen, contractors, artisans, mechanics and laborers and other persons contracting with Lessee with respect to the Leased Property, or any part thereof, are hereby charged with notice that liens on the Leased Property or on Lessor’s interest therein are expressly prohibited and that they must look solely to Lessee to secure payment for any work done for, or materials furnished to, Lessee or for any other purpose during the Term of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Lessor, express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any alteration, addition, improvement or repair to the Leased Property, or any part thereof, or as giving Lessee any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials that would give rise to the filing of any lien against the Leased Property, or any part thereof, or to subject Lessor’s ownership of the Leased Property, or any part thereof, to liability under any mechanic’s lien law of the State in any way, it being expressly understood Lessor’s ownership shall not be subject to any such liability.

-15-

5.2 Yield Up. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Lessee shall return and surrender the Leased Property to Lessor in substantially the same condition in which the Leased Property was in on the Commencement Date, except as repaired, replaced, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the provisions of this Agreement, reasonable wear and tear excepted. In addition, as of the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Lessee shall, at Lessor’s sole cost and expense, use its good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to transfer to and cooperate with Lessor or Lessor’s nominee in connection with the processing of all applications for licenses, operating permits and other governmental authorizations and all contracts entered into by Lessee, including contracts with governmental or quasi-governmental Entities which may be necessary for the use and operation of the Leased Property as then operated, but excluding (a) all insurance contracts and multi-property contracts not limited in scope to the Leased Property, or this Agreement, (b) all contracts and leases with Affiliated Persons of Lessee, and (c) utility deposits. Lessor shall indemnify, insure, pay, defend, save and hold harmless Lessee for all losses, liabilities, Claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from acts or omissions by Lessor under such contracts on and subsequent to the date of transfer thereof to Lessor; and Lessee shall indemnify, insure, pay defend, save and hold harmless Lessor for all losses, liabilities, Claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from acts or omissions by Lessee under such contracts prior to the date of transfer thereof to Lessor.

ARTICLE 6

LIENS

6.1 Liens, Generally. Subject to Article 7, Lessee shall not, directly or indirectly, create or allow to remain and shall promptly discharge, at its expense, any lien, attachment, title retention agreement or claim upon the Leased Property or Lessee’s interest therein or any attachment, levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent, other than (a) restrictions, liens and other encumbrances which are consented to in writing by Lessor, (b) liens for those taxes of Lessor which Lessee is not required to pay hereunder, (c) Subleases permitted by Article 13, (d) liens resulting from noncompliance with Legal Requirements so long as (i) the same are not yet due and payable, or (ii) are being contested in accordance with Article 7, (e) liens of mechanics, laborers, materialmen, suppliers or vendors incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable (but will be paid in full by Lessee) or are for sums that are being contested in accordance with Article 7 and (f) Lessor Liens.

6.2 Mechanics Liens. Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property shall not be subjected to Liens of any nature by reason of Lessee’s alteration, renovation, repair, restoration, replacement or reconstruction of the Leased Property, or by reason of any other act, error or omission of Lessee (or of any person claiming by, through or under Lessee), including, but not limited to, construction, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens. All Persons dealing with Lessee are hereby placed on notice that such Persons shall not look to Lessor or to Lessor’s credit or assets (including Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property) for payment or satisfaction of any obligations incurred in connection with the construction, alteration, renovation, repair, restoration, replacement or reconstruction thereof by or on behalf of Lessee. Lessee has no power, right or authority to subject Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property to any construction, mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien or claim of lien. If a Lien, a claim of lien or an order for the payment of money shall be imposed against the Leased Property on account of work performed,

-16-

or alleged to have been performed, for or on behalf of Lessee, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after written notice of the imposition of such Lien, claim or order, cause the Leased Property to be released therefrom by the payment of the obligation secured thereby or by furnishing a bond or by any other method prescribed or permitted by law. If a Lien is released, Lessee shall thereupon furnish Lessor with a written instrument of release which has been recorded or filed in the appropriate office of land records of the county in which the Leased Property is located and otherwise sufficient to establish the release as a matter of record. Lessor shall then have the right at any time and from time to time to post and maintain on the Land and Leased Improvements such notices as Lessor reasonably deems necessary to protect the Leased Property and Lessor from mechanics’ liens, materialmen’s liens, or any other liens. In any event, subject to Section 6.3 below, Lessee shall pay when due all claims for labor or materials furnished to or for Lessee at or for use on the Land and Leased Improvements. Subject to Section 6.3 below, Lessee shall not permit any mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens to be levied against the Leased Property for any labor or material furnished to Lessee or claimed to have been furnished to Lessee or to Lessee’s agents or contractors in connection with work of any character performed or claimed to have been performed on the Land or the Leased Improvements by or at the direction of Lessee and shall immediately cause the release of any such liens as provided hereinabove.

6.3 Contest of Liens. Lessee may, at its option, contest the validity of any Lien or claim of lien if Lessee shall have first posted an appropriate and sufficient bond in favor of the claimant or paid the appropriate sum into court, if permitted by and in strict compliance with Applicable Laws, and thereby obtained the release of the Leased Property from such Lien. If judgment is obtained by the claimant under any Lien, Lessee shall pay the same immediately after such judgment shall have become final and the time for appeal therefrom has expired without appeal having been taken. Lessee shall, at its own expense, using counsel reasonably approved by Lessor, diligently defend the interests of Lessee and Lessor in any and all such suits; provided, however, that Lessor may, nonetheless, at its election and expense, engage its own counsel and assert its own defenses, in which event Lessee shall cooperate with Lessor and make available to Lessor all information and data which Lessor deems necessary or desirable for such defense.

6.4 Lessor Liens. The following terms and provisions shall apply with regard to Lessor Liens:

6.4.1 If a Lessor Lien shall be imposed against the Leased Property on account of acts or omissions, or alleged acts or omissions, of Lessor, and such Lessor Lien materially adversely impairs Lessee’s interest in or ability to operate the Leased Property, Lessor shall, within thirty (30) days after written notice of such by Lessee, cause the Leased Property to be released therefrom by the payment of the obligation secured thereby or by furnishing a bond or by any other method prescribed or permitted by law. Lessor and Lessee agree that a Lessor Lien which negatively affects the transferability of the interest in the Leased Property under this Agreement by Lessee is one example of a material adverse impairment of Lessee’s interest in or ability to operate the Leased Property (within the meaning of the immediately preceding sentence). If a Lessor Lien is released by payment of the obligation secured thereby or by other means permitted by law, Lessor shall thereupon furnish Lessee with a written instrument of release sufficient to establish the release as a matter of record. In any event, subject to Section 6.4.2 below, Lessee shall pay when due all claims for labor or materials furnished to or for Lessee in connection with the Leased Property.

-17-

6.4.2 Lessor may, at its option, contest the validity of any Lessor Lien or claim of lien if permitted by and in strict compliance with Applicable Laws. In the event that such Lessor Lien materially adversely impairs Lessee’s interest in or ability to operate the Leased Property during the period such contest is being pursued, Lessor shall, to the extent practicable, undertake commercially reasonable efforts to remove such lien of record. If judgment is obtained by the claimant under any Lessor Lien, Lessor shall pay the same immediately after such judgment shall have become final and the time for appeal therefrom has expired without appeal having been taken.

6.4.3 Lessor hereby agrees to indemnify, pay, insure, defend, save and hold harmless Lessee from and against any losses, costs, damages, debts, liens, claims, causes of action, administrative orders or notices, costs, fines, penalties or reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lessee in connection with any Lessor Lien which is within the scope of Section 6.4.1 and which Lessor fails, within the thirty (30) day period set forth in Section 6.4.1, to cause to be released from the Leased Property by the payment of the obligation secured thereby or by furnishing a bond or by any other method prescribed or permitted by law.

ARTICLE 7

PERMITTED CONTESTS

Lessee shall have the right to contest the amount or validity of any Imposition, Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement, Environmental Obligation or any other Additional Charge, Lien, attachment, levy, Encumbrance, charge or claim (collectively, “Claims”) as to the Leased Property, by appropriate legal proceedings, conducted in good faith and with due diligence, provided that (a) the foregoing shall in no way be construed as relieving, modifying or extending Lessee’s obligation to pay any Claims required hereunder to be paid by Lessee as finally determined, (b) such contest shall not cause Lessor or Lessee to be in default under any Mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement encumbering the Leased Property, or any part thereof (Lessor agreeing that any such Mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement shall permit Lessee to exercise the rights granted pursuant to this Article 7) or any interest therein or result in a Lien attaching to the Leased Property, unless such Lien is fully bonded or is otherwise secured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessor, (c) no part of the Leased Property or any Rent therefrom shall be in any immediate danger of sale, forfeiture, attachment or loss, and (d) Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, pay, insure, defend, save and hold harmless Lessor from and against any losses, costs, damages, debts, liens, claims, causes of action, administrative orders or notices, costs, fines, penalties or reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lessor in connection therewith or as a result thereof. Lessor agrees to join in any such proceedings if required legally to prosecute such contest, provided that Lessor shall not thereby be subjected to any liability therefor (including, without limitation, for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection therewith) unless Lessee agrees to assume and indemnify Lessor with respect to the same. Lessee shall be entitled to any refund of any Claims and such charges and penalties or interest thereon which have been paid by Lessee or paid by Lessor to the extent that Lessor has been reimbursed by Lessee. If Lessee shall fail (i) to pay or cause to be paid any Claims when

-18-

finally determined, (ii) to provide reasonable security therefor, or (iii) to prosecute or cause to be prosecuted any such contest diligently and in good faith, Lessor may, upon Notice to Lessee, pay such charges, together with interest and penalties due with respect thereto, and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor therefor, upon demand, as Additional Charges.

ARTICLE 8

INSURANCE

8.1 Insurance. Lessee shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, at all times insurance for Lessee and the Leased Property providing at least the coverages required pursuant to the Real Property Lease in strict accordance with the terms, conditions, amounts and requirements set forth therein.

8.2 Additional Insureds. All Policies provided for or contemplated by this Article 8, shall name Lessee as the insured and Lessor, Landlord, and their respective Mortgagees and Managers as additional insureds, as its or their interests may appear.

ARTICLE 9

CASUALTY

In the event that a casualty event occurs relative to the Leased Property, the terms and provisions of the Real Property Lease shall control as if the Leased Property were a part of and subject to the terms of the Real Property Lease.

ARTICLE 10

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

10.1 Defaults by Lessee.

10.1.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” by Lessee hereunder:

(a) should Lessee (1) fail to make any payment of Base Rent within three (3) Business Days after such payment is due and such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after Notice thereof (provided Lessee shall be entitled to such Notice and ten (10) day cure period only two (2) times in any Lease Year; and in each such case where a Notice and ten (10) day cure period applies, the late charge contemplated in Section 3.2 shall begin to accrue on the due date, notwithstanding the provisions in Section 3.2 to the contrary), or (2) fail to make payment of any other Rent or any other sum payable hereunder when due and such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after Notice thereof; provided, however, that there shall be no Event of Default under this Section 10.1.1(a) so long as there is sufficient money in a Cash Management Account (as contemplated and defined by the Real Property Lease) for payment of all amounts then due and payable; or

(b) should Lessee fail to maintain the insurance coverages required under Article 8; provided, however, if Lessee delivers to Lessor copies of insurance policies or certificates evidencing the insurance coverages obtained by Lessee under

-19-

Article 8, Lessor shall give Lessee Notice of any errors or deficiencies in such insurance coverages and a three (3) Business Day period to correct and cure same prior to an Event of Default existing hereunder; or

(c) subject to Article 7 relating to permitted contests, should Lessee default in the due observance or performance of any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained herein to be performed or observed by it (other than as specified in Sections 10.1.1(a) and 10.1.1(b) above) and such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if such default is susceptible of cure but such cure cannot be accomplished with due diligence within such period of time and if, in addition, Lessee commences to cure or cause to be cured such default within fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof from Lessor and thereafter prosecutes the curing of such default with all due diligence, such period of time shall be extended to such period of time (not to exceed ninety (90) days) as may be necessary to cure such default with all due diligence; or

(d) should Lessee generally not be paying its debts as they become due or should Lessee make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or should any petition be filed by Lessee under the Federal bankruptcy laws; or

(e) should any petition be filed by or against Lessee under the Federal bankruptcy laws, or should any other proceeding be instituted by or against Lessee seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for Lessee or for any substantial part of the property of Lessee and such proceeding is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after institution thereof, or should Lessee take any action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this paragraph; or

(f) should Lessee cause or institute any proceeding for its dissolution or termination; or

(g) should an event of default occur and be continuing under any mortgage or deed of trust which is secured by Lessee’s leasehold interest hereunder or should the mortgagee under any such mortgage accelerate the indebtedness secured thereby or commence a foreclosure action in connection with said mortgage and such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if such default is susceptible of cure but such cure cannot be accomplished with due diligence within such period of time and if, in addition, Lessee commences to cure or cause to be cured such default within fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof from Lessor and thereafter prosecutes the curing of such default with all due diligence, such period of time shall be extended to such period of time as may be necessary to cure such default with all due diligence; or

-20-

(h) unless Lessee shall be contesting such lien or attachment in good faith in accordance with Article 7, should the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or the estate or interest of Lessee in the Leased Property, or any part thereof, be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and the same shall not be vacated, discharged or fully bonded or otherwise secured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessor within thirty (30) days after such attachment or levy; or

(i) should an Event of Default by Tenant (as defined in the Real Property Lease) occur and continue under the Real Property Lease.

10.1.2 Remedy for Event of Default by Lessee. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Lessee, or in the event Lessee commits fraud including embezzlement or misappropriation of Lessor’s funds (unless within thirty (30) days after the discovery of any such embezzlement, fraud or misappropriation, Lessee terminates any of its employees responsible therefor and pays Lessor for any loss, cost or damage incurred as a result of any such acts), then Lessor may (i) terminate this Agreement by giving Notice thereof to Lessee and upon the expiration of the time fixed in such Notice, this Agreement shall terminate and all rights of Lessee under this Agreement shall cease, and/or (ii) exercise any right or remedy at law or equity in order to recover all Rent due and payable under this Agreement (provided, however, if Lessor is not prohibited under Applicable Law in such case from accelerating Rent due and payable under this Agreement, and Lessor accelerates Rent pursuant hereto, such Rent shall be reduced to a present value amount, applying an imputed interest rate equal to the Interest Rate at the time such computation is completed), and/or (iii) xxx for possession, and/or (iv) pursue any and all other remedies at law or in equity which it may be entitled to pursue in accordance with all Legal Requirements (subject to the foregoing limitations). If and to the extent that Lessor acts to mitigate its losses and damages in the case of an Event of Default by Lessee, Lessee shall receive the benefit of any mitigation that is achieved by Lessor. Furthermore, Lessor shall be entitled to accelerate Rent under this Agreement only in the event that Lessee fails to continue to make such payments of Rent when due under this Agreement or within any cure period afforded to Lessee under this Agreement.

10.1.3 Application of Funds. Any payments received by Lessor under any of the provisions of this Agreement during the existence or continuance of any Event of Default by Lessee (and any payment made to Lessor rather than Lessee due to the existence of any Event of Default by Lessee) shall be applied to Lessee’s current and past due obligations under this Agreement in such order as Lessor may determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the State.

10.1.4 Lessor’s Right to Cure Lessee’s Default. If an Event of Default by Lessee shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor, after Notice to Lessee (which Notice shall not be required if Lessor shall reasonably determine immediate action is necessary to protect person or property), without waiving or releasing any obligation of Lessee and without waiving or releasing any Event of Default by Lessee, may (but shall not be obligated to), at any time thereafter, make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Lessee, and may, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, access any or all of the Leased Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Lessor’s sole and absolute discretion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. All reasonable costs and expenses

-21-

(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lessor in connection therewith, together with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) at the Default Rate from the date such sums are paid by Lessor until repaid, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor, on demand.

10.2 Defaults by Lessor.

10.2.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” by Lessor hereunder:

(a) should Lessor default in the due observance or performance of any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained herein to be performed or observed by it and such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Lessee to Lessor; provided, however, that if such default is susceptible of cure but such cure cannot be accomplished with due diligence within such period of time and if, in addition, Lessor commences to cure or cause to be cured such default within fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof from Lessee and thereafter prosecutes the curing of such default with all due diligence, such period of time shall be extended to such period of time (not to exceed ninety (90) days) as may be necessary to cure such default with all due diligence; or

(b) should Lessor generally not be paying its debts as they become due or should Lessor make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or should any petition be filed by Lessor under the Federal bankruptcy laws; or

(c) should any petition be filed by or against Lessor under the Federal bankruptcy laws, or should any other proceeding be instituted by or against Lessor seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for Lessor or for any substantial part of the property of Lessor and such proceeding is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after institution thereof, or should Lessor take any action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this paragraph; or

(d) should Lessor cause or institute any proceeding for its dissolution or termination.

10.2.2 Remedy for Event of Default by Lessor. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Lessor, then Lessee may elect as its sole and exclusive remedies to either (i) terminate this Agreement, (ii) cure Lessor’s Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.2.4 below (in which case Lessee shall be entitled, if Lessor fails to reimburse Lessee on demand for the relevant sums set forth in Section 10.2.4, to either offset such sums against the next payment(s) of Rent due under this Agreement and/or institute an arbitration proceeding under Article 16 or a lawsuit against Lessor to compel Lessor to repay such sums) or (iii) seek injunctive relief against Lessor relative to such Event of Default. Provided, however, and notwithstanding the foregoing

10.2.3 Application of Funds. Any payments received by Lessee from or on behalf of Lessor under any of the provisions of this Agreement during the existence or continuance of any Event of Default by Lessor shall be applied to Lessor’s current and past due obligations under this Agreement in such order as Lessee may determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the State, subject, however, in all events to the terms and provisions of any First Mortgage Loan Documents.

10.2.4 Lessee’s Right to Cure Lessor’s Default. If an Event of Default by Lessor shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee, after Notice to Lessor (which Notice shall not be required if Lessee shall reasonably determine immediate action is necessary to protect person or property), without waiving or releasing any obligation of Lessor and without waiving or releasing any Event of Default by Lessor, may (but shall not be obligated to), at any time thereafter, make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Lessor.

13.1.5 If this Agreement is assigned or if the Leased Property, or any part thereof, is sublet (or occupied by any Person other than Lessee) in violation of this Agreement, Lessor may collect the rents from such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved, but no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions set forth in Section 13.1.1, the acceptance by Lessor of such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, as a tenant, or a release of Lessee from the future performance by Lessee of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement.

All agreements between Lessor and Lessee herein are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of Rent, or otherwise, shall the Rent or any other amounts payable to Lessor under this Agreement exceed the maximum permissible under Legal Requirements, the benefit of which may be asserted by Lessee as a defense, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, or if from any circumstances Lessor should ever receive as fulfillment of such provision such an excessive amount, then, ipso facto, the amount which would be excessive shall be applied to the reduction of the installment(s) of Base Rent next due and not to the payment of such excessive amount. This provision shall control every other provision of this Agreement and any other agreements between Lessor and Lessee.

19.2 No Waiver. No failure by Lessor or Lessee to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent during the continuance of any such breach shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such term.

19.3 Remedies Cumulative. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, each legal, equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Lessor or Lessee, now or hereafter provided either in this Agreement or by statute or otherwise, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Lessor or Lessee (as applicable) of any one or more of such rights, powers and remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise by Lessor of any or all of such other rights, powers and remedies.

-28-

19.4 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is ultimately determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed limited by construction in scope and effect to the minimum extent necessary to render the same valid and enforceable, and in the event no such limiting construction is possible, such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement without affecting the validity of any other provision hereof, provided the essential provisions of this Agreement for each party remain valid, binding and enforceable.

19.5 Acceptance of Surrender. No surrender to Lessor of this Agreement or of the Leased Property, or any part thereof, or of any interest therein, shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by Lessor and no act by Lessor or any representative or agent of Lessor, other than such a written acceptance by Lessor, shall constitute an acceptance of any such surrender.

19.6 Conveyance by Lessor. If Lessor or any successor owner of all or any portion of the Leased Property shall convey all or any portion of the Leased Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (specifically including Article 12), other than as security for a debt, and the grantee or transferee of such of the Leased Property shall expressly assume all obligations of Lessor hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer, Lessor or such successor owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Lessor under this Agreement with respect to such of the Leased Property arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner.

19.7 Quiet Enjoyment.

Reference source not found.or otherwise permitted to be created by Lessor hereunder, (b) liens as to obligations of Lessor that are either not yet due or which are being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings, provided the same do not materially interfere with Lessee’s ability to operate the Leased Property and (d) liens that have been consented to in writing by Lessee. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no failure by Lessor to comply with the foregoing covenant shall give Lessee the right to cancel or terminate this Agreement or xxxxx, reduce or make a deduction from or offset against the Rent or any other sum payable under this Agreement, or to fail to perform any other obligation of Lessee hereunder.

19.8 Notices.

(a) Any and all notices, demands, consents, approvals, offers, elections and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be deemed adequately given if in writing and the same shall be delivered either in hand, by telecopier with written acknowledgment of receipt, or by mail or Federal Express or similar expedited commercial carrier, addressed to the recipient of the notice, postpaid and registered with return receipt requested (if by mail), or with all freight charges prepaid (if by Federal Express or similar carrier).

This Agreement, together with all agreements

-31-

incorporated herein by reference, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the lease transaction contemplated herein; and it is understood and agreed that all undertakings, negotiations, representations, promises, inducements and agreements heretofore had between these parties are merged herein. All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Each term or provision of this Agreement to be performed by Lessee shall be construed as an independent covenant and condition. Time is of the essence with respect to the exercise of any rights of Lessee or Lessor under this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any obligations arising prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement of Lessee (including, without limitation, any monetary, repair and indemnification obligations) and Lessor shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

Further, in the event Lessor shall be in Default under this Agreement, and if as a consequence of such Default, Lessee shall recover a money judgment against Lessor, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received upon execution of such judgment against the right, title and interest of Lessor in the Leased Property.

19.10 Counterparts; Headings. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument and shall become effective as of the Commencement Date when copies hereof, which, when taken together, bearing the signatures of each of the parties hereto, shall have been signed. Headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or affect the meaning of the provisions hereof.

19.11 Legal Requirements. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State applicable to contracts between residents of the State which are to be performed entirely within the State, regardless of (a) where this Agreement is executed or delivered; or (b) where any payment or other performance required by this Agreement is made or required to be made; or (c) where any breach of any provision of this Agreement occurs, or any cause of action otherwise accrues; or (d) where any action or other proceeding is instituted or pending; or (e) the nationality, citizenship, domicile, principal place of business, or jurisdiction of organization or domestication of any party; or (f) whether the laws of the forum jurisdiction otherwise would apply the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State; or (g) any combination of the foregoing.

To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law but subject to the terms and provisions in Article 16, any action to enforce, arising out of, or relating in any way to, any of the provisions of this Agreement may be brought and prosecuted in such court or courts located in the State as is provided by Applicable Law; and the parties consent to the jurisdiction of said court or courts located in the State and to service of process by registered mail, return receipt requested, or by any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

19.12 Right to Make Agreement. Each party warrants, with respect to itself, that neither the execution of this Agreement, nor the consummation of any transaction contemplated hereby,

-32-

shall violate any provision of any law, or any judgment, writ, injunction, order or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over it; nor result in or constitute a breach or default under any indenture, contract, other commitment or restriction to which it is a party or by which it is bound; nor require any consent, vote or approval which has not been given or taken, or at the time of the transaction involved shall not have been given or taken. Each party covenants that it has and will continue to have throughout the Term of this Agreement and any extensions thereof, the full right to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder.

19.13 Lender Disclosures. Lessee acknowledges that, in connection with Lessor obtained financing, and pursuant to the requirements for disclosure applicable to Lessor, Lessor will be required to disclose certain information regarding the Leased Property. Lessee authorizes Lessor to utilize such information as required.

19.14 Manager and Management Agreements. The Management Agreement between Lessee and Manager and any replacement thereof shall be fully subordinate to this Agreement. Lessor retains the right to reasonably approve the engagement of any manager for services related to the Leased Property or the replacement of any such manager, and Lessee shall have the right (subject to Lessor’s reasonable right of approval) to replace the Manager and enter into new Management Agreements in the future. Lessor acknowledges that, as of the Commencement Date, BW National Resort Management, LLC is an acceptable Manager for management services related to all or any part of the Leased Property.

19.15 Guaranty. Lessor has entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the Guaranty of even date herewith pursuant to which Guarantor has unconditionally guaranteed certain of the obligations of Lessee under this Agreement, as more particularly set forth in the Guaranty.

Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Lessee shall use its good faith, diligent efforts, at Lessor’s expense, to transfer and assign to Lessor or its designee or assist Lessor or its designee in obtaining transfer or assignment of all Leased Intangible Property, including, without limitation, and together with any contracts, licenses, permits, development rights, trade names, telephone exchange numbers identified with the Leased Property, approvals and certificates and all other intangible rights, benefits and privileges of any kind or character constituting part of the Leased Property, useful or required for the then operation of the Leased Property.

19.17 Performance and Delivery Dates. If the final day of any period of time set out in any provision of this Agreement falls on a non-Business Day, then in such case, such period shall be deemed extended to the next Business Day.

19.18 Transactions With Affiliates. Lessee shall be entitled, without seeking or obtaining Lessor’s approval, to cause certain services (e.g., maintenance and repair services) associated with the operation of the Leased Property to be provided by Subsidiaries of Lessee or by other Entities that are Affiliated Persons of Lessee. Presuming the cost of such services provided by Subsidiaries of Lessee or by other Entities that are Affiliated Persons of Lessee would fall within the definition of Property Operating Expenses if they were provided by a Person unrelated to Lessee, Lessee shall be entitled to include such costs and expenses in Property Operating Expenses to the extent that they do not exceed the amount that Lessee would have paid to a Person unrelated to Lessee to provide such services in an arms’ length arrangement.
