Tenant shall pay, in lawful money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, without offset, abatement, demand or deduction (unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement), Base Rent and Minimum Additional Rent to Landlord and Additional Charges to the party to whom such Additional Charges are payable, during the Term. All payments to Landlord shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds or by other commercially reasonable means requested in writing by Landlord.
3.1.1 Base Rent.
(a) Tenant shall pay annual base minimum rent (“Base Rent”) to Landlord in equal installments in advance, on the first (1st) Business Day of each Accounting Period. If applicable, the first payment of Base Rent and the last payment of Base Rent shall be prorated on a per diem basis; provided, however, that for purposes of Base Rent, any payment for any partial Accounting Period prior to the first full Accounting Period shall be prorated based upon the installment of Base Rent payable for the first full Accounting Period, and any prorated Rent at the end of the Term shall be prorated based upon the installment of Base Rent payable for the last full Accounting Period.
-20-
(b) Calculation of Base Rent. Subject to proration as set forth above, Tenant shall pay Base Rent during each Lease Year of this Agreement in the amounts set forth on Schedule 3.1.1(b) attached hereto and made a part hereof.
3.1.2 Minimum Additional Rent.
(a) Amount. In addition to and not in lieu of Minimum Rent, commencing with the fourth (4th) Fiscal Year, to the extent that Minimum Additional Rent is a positive number, Tenant shall pay Minimum Additional Rent to Landlord for each Fiscal Year or portion thereof.
(b) Payment and Reconciliation of Minimum Additional Rent. Installments of Minimum Additional Rent shall be due and payable in arrears within thirty (30) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter. On or before thirty (30) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter (the “Financial Statement Delivery Date”), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an unaudited (but certified by a duly authorized officer of Tenant or Tenant’s general partner or managing member, if applicable) statement setting forth the Gross Revenues, Adjusted Gross Revenues, Property Operating Expenses, Property Net Cash Flow, Ski Operations Net Cash Flow and Minimum Additional Rent payable for such preceding Fiscal Quarter. After each Fiscal Year, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an unaudited (but certified by a duly authorized officer of Tenant or Tenant’s general partner or managing member, if applicable) statement setting forth the Gross Revenues, Adjusted Gross Revenues, Property Operating Expenses, Property Net Cash Flow, Ski Operations Net Cash Flow and Minimum Additional Rent payable for such preceding Fiscal Year. The amount of Minimum Additional Rent set forth in such financial statements shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord on or before thirty (30) days after the Financial Statement Delivery Date. If the contemplated financial statement for any Fiscal Year indicates that the aggregate of the installment payments theretofore made with respect to such Fiscal Quarter pursuant hereto exceeds the Minimum Additional Rent due for such Fiscal Quarter, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against the next installment or installments of Base Rent falling due (or will pay the amount of such overpayment to Tenant if this Agreement shall have terminated or if Landlord so elects to do so). If, on the other hand, the contemplated financial statement for any Fiscal Year indicates that the aggregate of the installment payments theretofore made with respect to such Fiscal Year is less than the Minimum Additional Rent due for such Fiscal Year, then Tenant shall pay the balance or excess to Landlord concurrently with the submission of such financial statement.
(c) Confirmation of Minimum Additional Rent. Tenant shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, books and records for the Leased Property in accordance with GAAP, which will accurately record Gross Revenues, Adjusted Gross Revenues, Property Operating Expenses, Property Net Cash Flow and Ski Operations Net Cash Flow; and Tenant shall retain, for at least three (3) years after the expiration of each Fiscal Year, reasonably adequate books and records conforming to such requirements showing Gross Revenues, Adjusted Gross Revenues, Property Operating Expenses, Property Net Cash Flow, Ski Operations Net Cash Flow for each Fiscal Year. Landlord, at its own expense,
-21-
shall have the right, exercisable by Notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after receipt of the applicable annual statement, to commence within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the applicable annual statement an audit of the information set forth in such annual statement and, in connection with such audit, to examine Tenant’s books and records with respect thereto (including supporting data and sales and excise tax returns); provided, however, that if Landlord has credible evidence that Tenant has committed fraud with respect to Gross Revenues, Adjusted Gross Revenues, Property Operating Expenses, Property Net Cash Flow, Ski Operations Net Cash Flow on any such annual statement, the said thirty (30) and one hundred twenty (120) day periods shall commence to run on the date Landlord obtained such credible evidence that Tenant has committed fraud with respect to Gross Revenues, Property Operating Expenses or Property Net Cash Flow on any such annual statement. If Landlord does not commence an audit within such one hundred twenty (120) day period (even though Notice was properly given within the applicable thirty (30) day period), such annual statement shall be deemed conclusively to be accepted by Landlord as correct and Landlord shall have no further right to challenge the same. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete any such audit as soon as practicable. If any such audit proves a deficiency in the payment of Minimum Additional Rent for a particular Fiscal Year, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord the amount of the deficiency, as finally agreed or determined. Furthermore, if any such audit proves a deficiency that exceeds five percent (5%) of the Minimum Additional Rent that was due for such Fiscal Year, the payment of the deficiency amount by Tenant shall be accompanied by interest at the Disbursement Rate, from the date such payment should have been made to the date of payment thereof.
3.1.3 Additional Charges. In addition to the Base Rent and Minimum Additional Rent payable hereunder, Tenant shall pay to the appropriate parties and discharge as and when due and payable the following (collectively, “Additional Charges”):
(a) Impositions. Subject to Article 8 relating to permitted contests, Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before any fine, penalty, interest or cost (other than any opportunity cost as a result of a failure to take advantage of any discount for early payment) may be added for non-payment, such payments to be made directly to the taxing authorities or other parties to whom payment is required to be made, and shall promptly, upon request by Landlord, furnish to Landlord copies of official receipts or other reasonably satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. If any such Imposition may, at the option of the payor, lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Tenant may exercise the option to pay the same (and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments and, in such event, shall pay such installments during the Term as the same become due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be added thereto. Landlord and TRS Corp., at their expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by Applicable Law, prepare and file all tax returns and pay all taxes due in respect of Landlord’s and TRS Corp.’s net income, gross receipts (from any source other than the Rent received by Landlord or TRS Corp. from Tenant), sales and use, single business, ad valorem (except for ad valorem taxes levied on the Leased Property and the Ski Personal Property, which
-22-
Tenant shall bear), franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock, and Tenant, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by Legal Requirements, prepare and file all other tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by Government Agencies. If any refund shall be due from any Person in respect of any Imposition paid by Tenant, the same shall be paid over to or retained by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and reports. In the event Government Agencies classify any property covered by this Agreement as personal property, Tenant shall file all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it may legally so file. Each party shall, to the extent it possesses the same, provide the other, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property so classified as personal property. Where Landlord is legally required to file personal property tax returns for property covered by this Agreement and/or gross receipts tax returns for Rent received by Landlord from Tenant, Landlord shall file the same with reasonable cooperation from Tenant. In such case, Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of personal property assessment notices in sufficient time for Tenant to prepare a personal property tax assessment protest which Landlord shall file, at Tenant’s expense and written request (provided Tenant shall be obligated to bear in such regard only Landlord’s actual expenses incurred, excluding overhead costs). All Impositions assessed against such personal property shall be (irrespective of whether Landlord or Tenant shall file the relevant return) paid by Tenant not later than the last date on which the same may be made without interest or penalty.
Landlord shall give prompt Notice to Tenant of all Impositions payable by Tenant hereunder of which Landlord at any time has knowledge; provided, however, that Landlord’s failure to give any such Notice shall in no way diminish Tenant’s obligation hereunder to pay such Impositions (except that Landlord shall be responsible for any interest, penalties, losses or other Claims incurred as a result of Landlord’s failure promptly to forward the same to Tenant).
The terms and provisions in this Section 3.1.3(a) shall be deemed to apply to the Ski Personal Property and the rights and obligations of Tenant and TRS Corp. under the Personal Property Lease to the same extent and in the same manner that they apply to the Leased Property and the rights and obligations of Tenant and Landlord under this Agreement.
(b) Utility Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in connection with the Leased Property.
(c) Insurance Premiums. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to Article 9.
(d) Licenses and Permits. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all fees, dues and charges of any kind which are necessary in order to acquire and keep in
-23-
effect and good standing all licenses and permits required for the operation of the Leased Property in accordance with the terms of Article 4.
(e) Sales Tax. Simultaneously with each payment of Rent and Additional Charges hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any applicable sales, use, excise or similar tax on any such Rent and Additional Charges, but specifically excluding any income, business profits or similar taxes imposed on Landlord’s net income or profits. Landlord shall, upon written request by Tenant, provide to Tenant on an annual basis such reasonable information in Landlord’s possession or control as shall be necessary to enable Tenant to pay such tax.
(f) Other Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all other amounts, liabilities and obligations arising in connection with the Leased Property, except those obligations expressly assumed by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or expressly stated not to be an obligation of Tenant pursuant to this Agreement.
(g) Penalties and Interest. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added for non-payment or late payment of the items referenced in this Section 3.1.3, unless Landlord is the reason or cause for the non-payment or late payment thereof.
(h) Reimbursement for Additional Charges. If Tenant pays or causes to be paid property taxes or similar or other Additional Charges attributable to periods after the end of the Term, whether upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Tenant may, within a reasonable time after the end of the Term, provide Notice to Landlord of its estimate of such amounts. Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for all payments of such taxes and other similar Additional Charges that are attributable to any period after the Term of this Agreement.
(i) Permitted Encumbrances. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts to be paid pursuant to the Permitted Encumbrances.
Tenant shall prepare and file, at its expense, to the extent required or permitted by Applicable Law, all tax returns and other reports in respect of any Additional Charge as may be required by Government Agencies.
3.2 Late Payments. If any installment of Base Rent, Minimum Additional Rent, or Additional Charges (but only as to those Additional Charges which are payable directly to Landlord) shall not be paid within five (5) days after its due date (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 13.1.1(a)), Tenant shall pay Landlord, 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 Tenant to pay any Base Rent and/or Minimum Additional Rent when due, Landlord 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 and/or Minimum Additional Rent.
-24-
In the event of any failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Charges when due, unless contested pursuant to Article 8, Tenant 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. Landlord 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 and Minimum Additional Rent.
3.3 Triple Net Lease. The Rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord so that this Agreement shall yield to Landlord 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 (including, without limitation, Landlord’s obligation to pay income and those other taxes which Landlord is responsible for paying pursuant to Section 3.1.3(a) hereof relative to the Rent it receives hereunder and Landlord’s obligation to fund certain improvements and Capital Expenditures pursuant to Article 5 herein). 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 Tenant shall be paid without notice, demand, counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction and that Tenant’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 Tenant and Landlord 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, Condemnation, 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, including eviction; (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 Tenant or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Agreement by any trustee or receiver of Tenant or any other Person, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (g) any right or claim that Tenant has or might have against any Person, including, without limitation, Landlord (other than a monetary default, which shall be deemed to include any default by Landlord with respect to its obligation to fund certain improvements and Capital Expenditures pursuant to Article 5 herein or its obligation pursuant to the Side Agreement to obtain one or more third-party commercial loans to fund such improvements and Capital Expenditures or to satisfy such loans upon their maturity and prior to delinquency) or any vendor, manufacturer or contractor of or for the Leased Property; (h) any failure on the part of Landlord 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 Landlord, 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 Tenant or any
-25-
provision hereof; (j) the impossibility of performance by Tenant or Landlord, 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 Tenant shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply or be construed to restrict Tenant’s rights in the event of any act, error or omission by Landlord constituting negligence or willful misconduct. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, (A) this Agreement shall be noncancellable by Tenant for any reason whatsoever and (B) Tenant, 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 Landlord 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 Tenant expressly waives the right to perform any such action at the expense of Landlord pursuant to any law.

4.1.1 Permitted Use. Subject to Force Majeure Events, Tenant shall, at all times during the Term and at any other time that Tenant shall be in possession of the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property, continuously use and operate the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property for the purposes of the Businesses, along with other appurtenant and related uses. Provided, however, and notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, portions of the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property are and may be used only on a seasonal basis, and Tenant shall be entitled to make reasonable determinations in that regard without first seeking or obtaining Landlord’s consent or approval.

-27-
provisions in Section 4.3.2 relating to the allocation of relevant costs and expenses, Tenant shall take all actions, as may be reasonably necessary and as may be required by any Government Agency or Applicable Law, (a) to assess, clean up and remove from and about the Leased Property or Ski Personal Property all Hazardous Materials thereon so that the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property will, following such clean up and removal, comply with Applicable Law and to the written satisfaction of the appropriate Government Agency (provided such Government Agency is willing to provide such documentation), (b) to contain and prevent any further Release or threat of Release of Hazardous Materials in, on, at, under, from or about the Leased Property or Ski Personal Property and (c) to use good faith efforts to eliminate any further Release or threat of Release of Hazardous Materials in, on, at, under, from or about the Leased Property or Ski Personal Property.

Any such fines, charges or other Impositions levied under the immediately preceding sentence shall not be Property Operating Expenses nor shall they in any way reduce the amount of Guarantor’s liability under the Guaranty if (but only if) they are assessed as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents or employees. Mold (which is addressed in Section 5.1.1(b)) and ACM and LBP (which are addressed in Section 5.1.1(c)) shall not be deemed Hazardous Materials for purposes of this Section 4.3.

(b) Mold and Mold Conditions.
(i) Monitoring of Leased Improvements. Tenant shall regularly monitor the Leased Improvements for the presence of Mold and Mold Conditions and shall promptly notify Landlord in writing if Tenant knows of Mold and/or Mold Conditions in the Leased Improvements which violate Applicable Law or which pose a hazard to the health and safety of Occupants in the Leased Improvements and/or the Environment. Subject to the provisions in Section 5.1.1(b)(ii) relating to the allocation of relevant costs and expenses, if Mold or a Mold Condition is identified in the Leased Improvements which poses a hazard to the health and safety of Occupants in the Leased Improvements and/or the Environment, it shall immediately be assessed, repaired and/or remediated so as to correct the Mold and/or Mold Condition in accordance with Applicable Law. A copy of any final report(s) documenting such activities shall be certified for the use and benefit of both Landlord and Tenant and shall be promptly delivered by Tenant to Landlord. However, unless disclosure is required by Applicable Law or is necessary to prevent a hazard to the health and safety of Occupants in the Leased Improvements, all work performed, results obtained and reports prepared pursuant to this Section 5.1.1(b)(i) shall be kept confidential by Tenant and Landlord and their respective agents and employees. Tenant and Landlord may disclose all work performed, results obtained and reports prepared pursuant to this Section 5.1.1(b)(i) to any lender or party involved in a transaction relating to the Leased Improvements or the Leased Property.
(ii) Responsibility for Mold and Mold Conditions. Tenant’s liability and obligations pursuant to the terms of Section 5.1.1(b)(i) are subject to the provisions of this Section 5.1.1(b)(ii) and Landlord’s compliance with its funding obligations under this Section 5.1.1(b)(ii). Additionally and notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) with respect to all Mold and Mold Conditions that exist in or affect the Leased Improvements as of the Commencement Date, whether known or unknown (including, without limitation, all matters identified in the Environmental Reports), and which will not be addressed and rectified by the Agreed Upon Major Capital Expenditures contemplated in Article 5, all costs and expenses required to be incurred by Tenant with respect thereto pursuant to Section 5.1.1(b)(i) shall be paid directly by Landlord (i.e., Tenant shall have no obligation to pre-fund such expenses and costs and thereafter to seek reimbursement from Landlord with respect thereto) and shall not be added to or included as part of Lease Basis, (ii) with respect to all Mold and Mold Conditions that exist in, on or affect the Leased Improvements after the Commencement Date as a result of the acts, errors or omissions of Tenant or its agents and employees, all fees, costs and expenses required to be incurred by Tenant with respect thereto pursuant to Section 5.1.1(b)(i) shall be paid directly by Tenant, without any reimbursement obligation by Landlord (and this clause (ii) shall cover fees, costs and expenses that must be incurred relative to Mold and Mold Conditions that (A) exist in or affect the Leased Improvements as of the Commencement Date pursuant to clause (i) above, or (B) exist in or affect the Leased Improvements after the
-32-
Commencement Date as contemplated by clause (iii) below, but only if and to the extent that such fees, costs and expenses under clause (A) and/or (B) are greater than they otherwise would have been as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents and employees, including, without limitation, negligence in handling or dealing with same); and if (but only if) such fees, costs and expenses are greater than they otherwise would have been as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents or employees, then such fees, costs and expenses shall not be Property Operating Expenses nor shall they in any way reduce the amount of Guarantor’s liability under the Guaranty, and (iii) with respect to all Mold and Mold Conditions that exist in or affect the Leased Improvements after the Commencement Date as a result of the acts, errors or omissions of a third party or as a result of any other cause other than the acts, errors and omissions of an employee or agent of Tenant, all costs and expenses required to be incurred by Tenant with respect thereto pursuant to Section 5.1.1(b) and which are not paid by a third party shall be paid directly by Landlord (i.e., Tenant shall have no obligation to pre-fund such expenses and costs and thereafter to seek reimbursement from Landlord with respect thereto) and shall be added to and included as part of Lease Basis. The foregoing clause (iii) shall be deemed and construed to encompass all Mold and Mold Conditions that are not encompassed by the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii). Tenant shall not be deemed in default with regard to its obligations under Section 5.1.1(b) for any performance that must be funded by Landlord pursuant to this Section 5.1.1(b)(ii) unless Tenant fails to diligently undertake such performance following the delivery to Tenant of funds sufficient to pay for same. The obligations of Tenant and Landlord under this Section 5.1.1(b)(ii) shall survive the expiration or any early termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years.
(c) ACM and Lead Based Paint.
(i) Monitoring of Leased Improvements. Tenant and Landlord understand and agree that the Environmental Reports document the presence of ACM and lead based paint (“LBP”) associated with the Leased Improvements. Pursuant to the O&M Plan, Tenant shall regularly monitor the Leased Improvements for ACM and LBP conditions that pose a hazard to the health and safety of Occupants in the Leased Improvements and/or the Environment or otherwise violate Applicable Law (“ACM/LBP Conditions”) and shall promptly notify Landlord in writing if Tenant knows of ACM/LBP Conditions associated with the Leased Improvements.
(ii) Annual ACM and LBP Inspections. Tenant shall implement an operations and maintenance plan for ACM and LBP (“O&M Plan”) to educate Tenant, its agents, employees and contractors about the presence and maintenance of ACM and LBP. During the Term, Tenant shall annually retain a qualified and licensed ACM/LBP consultant mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant (“QC”) to conduct a routine surveillance and
-33-
evaluation of the Leased Improvements, building assemblies, systems and spaces where people are present on a recurring basis for evidence of ACM/LBP Conditions (an “Annual ACM/LBP Inspection”). The QC shall use industry standard detection measurements and practices to determine the condition of any ACM or LBP associated with the Leased Improvements. The QC shall use his or her professional judgment in determining the nature and extent of necessary sampling. The costs of each Annual ACM/LBP Inspection shall be borne by Tenant and shall be treated as a Property Operating Expense. Landlord and Tenant may mutually agree to perform the Annual ACM/LBP Inspection at less frequent intervals. Tenant and Landlord each agree to act reasonably in attempting to reach agreement regarding the Person that shall serve as the QC under this Agreement. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement regarding the Person that shall serve as the QC under this Agreement, then such dispute shall be settled by arbitration under Article 20, and any period of time during which Tenant and Landlord are seeking to reach agreement relative to the Person that shall serve as the QC shall count against the thirty (30) day negotiation period prescribed in Section 20.1.
(iii) Responsibility for ACM/LBP Conditions. Tenant shall comply and shall cause its employees and agents to comply with the O&M Plan. Upon gaining knowledge of same and subject to the terms and conditions below in this Section 5.1.1(c)(iii), Tenant shall reasonably assess, repair and remediate any ACM/LBP Conditions in accordance with Applicable Law. If and to the extent such ACM/LBP Conditions have arisen because of or have been exacerbated by Tenant’s or its agents’ or employees’ failure to comply with the O&M Plan or Tenant’s or its agents’ or employees’ negligence or willful misconduct, the associated costs and expenses (but only to the extent caused or exacerbated by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents or employees) shall be borne and paid by Tenant, and such costs and expenses shall not be Property Operating Expenses nor shall they in any way reduce the amount of Guarantor’s liability under the Guaranty. If and to the extent such ACM/LBP Conditions have arisen as a result of any other cause, the associated costs and expenses shall be paid directly by Landlord (i.e., Tenant shall have no obligation to pre-fund such expenses and costs and thereafter to seek reimbursement from Landlord with respect thereto) and shall be added to and included as part of Lease Basis. Tenant shall not be deemed in default with regard to its obligations under this Section 5.1.1(c)(iii) for any performance that must be funded by a party other than Tenant pursuant to this Section 5.1.1(c)(iii) unless Tenant fails to diligently undertake such performance following the delivery to Tenant of funds sufficient to pay for same.
(iv) Reports. A copy of any final report(s), including Annual ACM/LBP Inspections and O&M Plans, shall be certified for the use and benefit of both Landlord and Tenant and shall be promptly delivered by Tenant to Landlord. However, unless disclosure is required by Applicable Law or is
-34-
necessary to prevent a hazard to the health and safety of Occupants in the Leased Improvements, all work performed, results obtained and reports prepared pursuant to this Section 5.1.1(c) shall be kept confidential by Tenant and Landlord and their respective agents and employees. Tenant and Landlord may disclose all work performed, results obtained and reports prepared pursuant to this Section 5.1.1(c) to any lender or party involved in a transaction relating to the Leased Improvements or the Leased Property.
(d) Procedure. If Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of the need for Tenant 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 question, Tenant shall respond within ten (10) Business Days as to Tenant’s planned course of action with respect to the specific items identified by Landlord, or as to such items which Tenant feels are inappropriate, except in the case of an emergency, in which event Tenant shall respond as quickly as the emergency requires and as is practicable under the circumstances. If Tenant disputes Landlord’s determination that repair or maintenance is needed or otherwise fails thereafter to promptly undertake such repairs and maintenance identified by Landlord, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, request arbitration for resolution of the dispute pursuant to Article 20. If Tenant prevails in such arbitration, Tenant shall have no obligations to make those repairs which the arbitrator determines are not required pursuant hereto. If Landlord prevails in such arbitration, Tenant shall promptly commence and shall diligently pursue to completion all such repairs and maintenance. If the arbitrator awards specific performance to Landlord, such award shall be binding upon Tenant 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 Tenant shall present a plan for rectification to Landlord and shall promptly carry out such plan, acting reasonably.
5.1.2 Reserve.
(a) Tenant shall establish an interest bearing reserve account in the name of both Tenant and Landlord (the “Reserve”) in a bank designated by Landlord. All interest earned on the Reserve shall be added to and remain a part of the Reserve (to be expended for the purposes of the Reserve). Except as set forth in Section 5.1.2(f), Tenant shall be the only party entitled to withdraw funds from the Reserve. The purpose of the Reserve is to cover the cost of:
(i) Replacements, renewals and additions to the Ski Personal Property and furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment on the Leased Property;
(ii) Repairs, renovations, renewals, additions, alterations, improvements or replacements and maintenance to the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property, all of which are routine or non-major and which are
-35-
normally capitalized under GAAP, such as exterior and interior repainting, resurfacing building walls, floors, roofs, parking areas, and replacing equipment used in the operation of the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property; and
(iii) Repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals, replacements and additions, all of which are non-routine or major, to the Leased Improvements and Ski Personal Property which are not covered under Sections 5.1.2(a)(i) or 5.1.2(a)(ii) above and which are normally capitalized under GAAP, such as repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals, replacements and additions to the structure, the exterior facade, the mechanical, electrical, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing and vertical transportation elements of the Leased Improvements (“Major Capital Expenditures”). Major Capital Expenditures shall also include all costs associated with any removal or remediation of Hazardous Materials (except those treated as Tenant’s sole cost and expense or Landlord’s sole cost and expense under Section 4.3.2) and costs associated with any removal or remediation of Mold and Mold Conditions (except those treated as Tenant’s sole cost and expense under Section 5.1.1(b)(ii)) and costs associated with any removal or remediation of ACM, LBP and ACM/LBP Conditions (except those treated as Tenant’s sole cost and expense under Section 5.1.1(c)(iii)), regardless of whether such costs are normally capitalized under GAAP.
(b) Commencing with the Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Term, Tenant shall transfer (as of the end of each Accounting Period of the Term) into the Reserve an amount equal to the Applicable Reserve Percentage of Gross Revenues for such Accounting Period. At the time Tenant provides Landlord the documentation described in Section 3.1.2(b), Tenant shall also deliver to Landlord a statement setting forth the total amount of deposits made to and expenditures from the Reserve for the preceding Fiscal Quarter. Tenant shall be entitled to pre-fund Reserve amounts for the then-current Fiscal Year (i.e., Tenant may not pre-fund Reserve amounts for future Fiscal Years), at Tenant’s sole election, in order to provide funding that will permit the acceleration of projects to be paid out of the Reserve. In the event Tenant elects to pre-fund Reserve amounts pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, (i) Tenant shall be entitled to offset such pre-paid amounts, dollar-for-dollar, against future Reserve amounts that Tenant otherwise would be required to deposit under this Agreement, (ii) any such pre-funded Reserve amounts shall not reduce in any way the amount of liability of Guarantor under the Guaranty and (iii) such pre-funded Reserve amounts shall be included in Property Operating Expenses for the Accounting Period(s) when the offset pursuant to the preceding clause (i) occurs (i.e., even though Tenant elects to pre-fund such amounts, the pre-funded amounts shall be treated as Property Operating Expenses in the Accounting Period(s) when such amounts would have been deposited into the Reserve had Tenant not elected to pre-fund same).
(c) On or before sixty (60) days prior to the end of each Fiscal Year, Tenant shall prepare an estimate (the “Reserve Estimate”) of Reserve expenditures
-36-
anticipated during the ensuing Fiscal Year and shall submit such Reserve Estimate to Landlord for its approval. The Reserve Estimate budget approved by Landlord for each Fiscal Year may include a separate discretionary line item equivalent to ten percent (10%) of the projected contributions by Tenant into the Reserve for such Fiscal Year which Tenant shall be entitled to expend, in its discretion, for items that Landlord has approved to be funded with Reserve funds. The Reserve Estimate may include requested contributions to the Reserve fund to be made by Landlord, in addition to the Applicable Reserve Percentage contributions to be made by Tenant. Subject to the terms and provisions below in this Section 5.1.2(c) (relating to Landlord’s approval criteria for items in the Reserve Estimates that are needed to comply with the Product Standards), Landlord shall determine whether to consent to such requested contributions in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. In the event that Landlord elects, or is deemed to have elected, to not consent to such contributions, Tenant shall have no right, except as otherwise set forth herein, to undertake Reserve expenditures in excess of the amount in the Reserve without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, subject, however, to the terms and provisions below in this Section 5.1.2(c) (relating to Landlord’s approval criteria for items in the Reserve Estimates that are needed to comply with the Product Standards). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of any items in the Reserve Estimate, including Major Capital Expenditures, as are required, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, for the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property to comply with the Product Standards, or costs associated with the removal or remediation of Hazardous Materials, Mold and/or Mold Conditions, ACM, LBP and/or ACM/LBP Conditions or for other expenditures for which the Reserve is established as provided in Section 5.1.2(a) (subject to the allocation of costs and expenses set forth in Section 5.1.1(b)(ii) and Section 5.1.1(c)(iii) above). If Tenant does not receive Notice of Landlord’s disapproval of the Reserve Estimate within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of the Reserve Estimate to Landlord, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the Reserve Estimate. In the event Landlord disapproves the Reserve Estimate, Landlord’s Notice shall identify disputed items on a line item basis and shall provide a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis for Landlord’s disapproval. Items not identified as disputed in such Landlord’s Notice shall be deemed approved. In the event Landlord timely disapproves any Reserve Estimate or any item within any Reserve Estimate, then, following the negotiation period specified in Section 20.1, Tenant may submit the matter for resolution by arbitrators in accordance with the provisions of Section 20.2, and the arbitrators shall determine whether or not Tenant or Landlord acted reasonably in determining that the disputed item or items are needed or not needed for the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property to comply with the Product Standards or for the costs associated with the removal or remediation of Hazardous Materials, Mold and/or Mold Conditions or ACM, LBP and/or ACM/LBP Conditions. The decision of the arbitrator or panel of arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant 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 Landlord agrees (or is deemed to have agreed, whether
-37-
by failure to reply to a Reserve Estimate within the time period specified above or by virtue of an arbitration decision) to make contributions to the Reserve fund, then Landlord shall be obligated to make such contributions consistent with the approved (or deemed approved) Reserve Estimate. If, during any Fiscal Year, an event occurs that requires a material deviation from the Reserve Estimate budget previously approved by Landlord for such Fiscal Year, promptly following such event, Tenant shall revise the Reserve Estimate budget for the remainder of such Fiscal Year and shall submit it to Landlord for Landlord’s review and approval, which review and approval process shall be completed consistent with the terms and provisions in this Section 5.1.2(c).
(d) All expenditures from the Reserve for the items described in Section 5.1.2(a) shall be (as to both the amount of each such expenditure and the timing thereof) (i) required, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, to keep the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property in a competitive and, considering the age and condition of the Leased Property, Ski Personal Property and the Leased Improvements, efficient and economical operating condition consistent with the standards of other comparable ski and lodging resort facilities of a similar nature; or (ii) required by reason of any Legal Requirement imposed by any Government Agency or otherwise required (as determined by Tenant, in its reasonable judgment) for the continued safe and orderly operation of the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property (subsections (i) and (ii) each individually, a “Product Standard” and, collectively, the “Product Standards”).
(e) Tenant shall from time to time make expenditures from the Reserve as it deems necessary in accordance with Section 5.1.1(a) and the Reserve Estimate. Tenant shall provide to Landlord, within thirty (30) Business Days after the end of each Accounting Period, a statement setting forth Reserve expenditures made to date during the Fiscal Year. Expenditures from the Reserve shall not be subject to Landlord’s approval provided (i) they were included in the Reserve Estimate that was previously approved or deemed approved by Landlord, (ii) there is no material deviation from the Major Capital Expenditures set forth in the approved Reserve Estimate and (iii) there is no deviation from the non-Major Capital Expenditure items in the approved Reserve Estimate in excess of ten percent (10%) of value of the line item for such non-Major Capital Expenditure as set forth in the Reserve Estimate.
(f) All funds in the Reserve, all interest earned thereon and all property purchased with funds from the Reserve shall be and remain the property of Landlord. Following the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement and payment in full on all contracts entered into prior to such expiration or termination for work to be done or furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment to be supplied in accordance with this Section 5.1.2 out of the Reserve, control over the Reserve shall be transferred from Tenant to Landlord.
(g) It is understood and agreed that the Reserve pursuant to this Agreement shall be maintained and used solely in connection with the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property. All amounts in the Reserve as of the end of any Fiscal Year
-38-
shall remain in the Reserve and available for expenditure in accordance with the terms and provisions in this Article 5 in subsequent Fiscal Years.
(h) If Landlord wishes to grant in favor of any Mortgagee a security interest in or create another encumbrance on the Reserve, all or any part of the existing or future funds therein, or any general intangible in connection therewith, Tenant shall join in the instrument granting such security interest or creating such other encumbrance. The form and substance of such instrument shall be as reasonably required by the Mortgagee, and Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its execution of such security instrument.
5.1.3 Landlord’s Funding.
(a) Landlord shall not, under any circumstances, be required to build or rebuild any improvement on the Leased Property or the Ski Personal Property or to make any repairs, replacements, alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature or description to the Leased Property or Ski Personal Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary, structural or nonstructural, foreseen or unforeseen, to maintain the Leased Property or the Ski Personal Property in any way, or, except as provided in Sections 5.1.3(b) and 5.1.3(c) or any other express provisions in this Agreement, to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Tenant hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord pursuant to any law in effect on the date hereof or hereafter enacted. Landlord shall have the right to give, record and post, as appropriate, notices of nonresponsibility under any mechanic’s lien laws now or hereafter existing.
(b) Schedule 5.1.3(b) attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference identifies and describes certain Major Capital Improvements (currently estimated to cost between $15,500,000 and $17,500,000, including interest costs) to be completed by Tenant within the first thirty (30) months after the Commencement Date (the “Agreed Upon Major Capital Improvements”). Landlord shall be obligated to initially fund the Agreed Upon Major Capital Expenditures with one or more third-party commercial loans to be obtained by Landlord, and Landlord ultimately shall satisfy such loans upon their maturity and prior to delinquency, all as more specifically provided for in the Side Agreement. While the Agreed Upon Major Capital Improvements have been identified and determined (and Landlord has unconditionally agreed to fund them), the parties acknowledge and agree that they still must comply with the terms and provisions in Section 6.3 with respect to the Agreed Upon Major Capital Improvements.
(c) Landlord shall be obligated to deposit funds in the Reserve as follows:
(i) To fulfill Landlord’s obligations under Section 4.3.2 relative to environmental matters and issues and Hazardous Materials that exist on or affect the Leased Property or Ski Personal Property as of the
-39-
Commencement Date. Such costs and expenses funded by Landlord shall be added to and included as part of Lease Basis only if and to the extent so provided in Section 4.3.2.
(ii) To fulfill Landlord’s obligations under Section 5.1.1(b) relative to certain Mold and/or Mold Conditions that exist on or affect the Leased Property.
(iii) To fulfill Landlord’s obligations under Section 5.1.1(c) relative to certain ACM, LBP and/or ACM/LBP Conditions that exist on or affect the Leased Property.
(iv) To pay for additional Major Capital Improvements (i.e., other than the Agreed Upon Capital Improvements) that are approximated to cost $2,100,000 during the second half of the third (3rd) Lease Year and $1,300,000 during the fourth (4th) Lease Year. Tenant and Landlord shall reasonably cooperate to determine the specific projects to be funded with such funds for the third (3rd) and fourth (4th) Lease Years, and the parties acknowledge and agree that they must comply with the terms and provisions in Section 6.3 with respect to such additional Major Capital Improvements.
(v) To fulfill Landlord’s obligations under Section 5.1.2(c) as determined in the Reserve Estimate submittal and approval process.
(vi) If, at any time during the Term, funds in the Reserve shall be insufficient or are reasonably projected by Tenant to be insufficient for necessary and permitted expenditures thereof or funding is necessary for approved, deemed approved or non-approved Major Capital Expenditures (other than costs related to Hazardous Materials, Mold and/or Mold Conditions and ACM, LBP and/or ACM/LBP Conditions which are required to be borne and paid by Tenant under Sections 4.3, 5.1.1(b) or 5.1.1(c)), Tenant may, at its election, give Landlord Notice thereof, which Notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the nature of the required or permitted action, the estimated cost thereof and the time or times when such funds are required (which time or times will not be less than twenty (20) Business Days after such Notice). Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to disburse such required funds into the Reserve (or, if Landlord shall so elect, directly to the Manager or any other Person performing the required work) and, upon such disbursement, the Lease Basis shall be increased in an amount equal to such costs incurred by Landlord pursuant hereto; provided, however, that if the disbursement of funds relates to Hazardous Materials which are required to be borne and paid by Landlord under Section 4.3 and not added to or included in Lease Basis, Landlord shall be obligated to make such disbursement, and there shall be no increase in the Lease Basis and no adjustment to the Base Rent. If Landlord determines it does not wish to disburse such funds (in a circumstance where it has an option as to whether or not to do so), it shall give Tenant Notice of such determination within such twenty (20) Business Day period, and failure to give
-40-
Tenant Notice of such determination shall be deemed a refusal by Landlord to disburse such funds. Provided, however, nothing in this Section 5.1.3(c)(vi) shall be deemed or construed to abrogate Landlord’s obligation under Section 5.1.2(c) to provide Reserve funds in conjunction with the Reserve Estimate submittal and approval process (i.e., if needed for the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property to comply with the Product Standards or to fund costs associated with the removal or remediation of Hazardous Materials, Mold and/or Mold Conditions or ACM, LBP and/or ACM/LBP Conditions, in circumstances where such costs are not required to be borne and paid solely by Landlord or Tenant pursuant to Sections 4.3, 5.1.1(b) or 5.1.1(c)).
5.1.4 Nonresponsibility of Landlord. All materialmen, contractors, artisans, mechanics and laborers and other persons contracting with Tenant with respect to the Leased Property, or any part thereof, are hereby charged with notice that liens on the Leased Property or on Landlord’s interest therein are expressly prohibited and that they must look solely to Tenant to secure payment for any work done for, or materials furnished to, Tenant 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 Landlord, 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 Tenant 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 Landlord’s estate in 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 Landlord’s estate shall not be subject to any such liability.
5.1.5 Limitation on Tenant’s Obligations. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 5.1 shall be limited in the event of any casualty or Condemnation as set forth in Sections 10.2 and 11.2, Tenant’s obligations with respect to Hazardous Materials are as set forth in Section 4.3, Tenant’s obligations with respect to Mold and Mold Conditions are as set forth in Section 5.1.1(b) and Tenant’s obligations with respect to ACM, LBP and ACM/LBP Conditions are as set forth in Section 5.1.1(c).
5.2 Tenant’s Personal Property. Within thirty (30) Business Days after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall be required to remove all of Tenant’s Personal Property from the Leased Property. Provided, however, with respect to items of Tenant’s Personal Property that are reasonably required for the continuous, uninterrupted operation of the Leased Property and the Businesses in the same manner as they were operated as of the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion and option (exercisable by giving Tenant Notice thereof within twenty-five (25) Business Days after such expiration or termination), purchase such items of Tenant’s Personal Property from Tenant by paying Tenant the lesser of the fair market value or Tenant’s book value of such items of Tenant’s Personal Property. Landlord’s right to purchase items of Tenant’s Personal Property pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall not apply to (i) items of Tenant’s Personal Property that can be replaced by Landlord easily and without materially, adversely impacting on the continuous,
-41-
uninterrupted operation of the Leased Property and the Businesses or (ii) personal computers, automobiles and similar items that are used and treated essentially as the personal property of Tenant’s principals and employees. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall, upon the expiration of the Term, purchase all liquor and alcoholic beverages owned by Tenant, located at and used in connection with the Leased Property.
5.3 Yield Up. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Landlord 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 and Condemnation (and casualty damage, in the event that this Agreement is terminated following a casualty in accordance with Article 10) excepted. In addition, as of the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, use its good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to transfer to and cooperate with Landlord or Landlord’s nominee in connection with the processing of all applications for licenses, operating permits and other governmental authorizations and all contracts entered into by Tenant, 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 and/or the Personal Property Lease, (b) all contracts and leases with Affiliated Persons of Tenant, and (c) utility deposits.

5.4 Cash Management. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Tenant and Landlord acknowledge that if ever a First Mortgage Loan (and any refinancings, renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, substitutions and extensions thereof) is outstanding, Gross Revenues may be required to be deposited in a Cash Management Account (provided in no event whatsoever shall any such Gross Revenues be co-mingled with funds from other sources, including other assets owned by Landlord); (ii) upon the release from time to time to Landlord of all funds in the Cash Management Account, Landlord shall, within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such funds, pay the aggregate amount of all such funds to Tenant by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds or by other means acceptable to Tenant in its sole discretion; (iii) all amounts in the Cash Management Account applied by the lender under the First Mortgage Loan in payment of the regularly scheduled monthly payments due on the First Mortgage Loan shall be credited against the Base Rent due under this Agreement (provided in no event whatsoever shall such regularly scheduled monthly payments due under the First Mortgage Loan exceed the monthly Base Rent then payable by Tenant under this Agreement); and (iv) Tenant’s obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the obligation (x) to pay Base Rent (after the application to all credits to Base Rent pursuant to clause (iii) above), Minimum Additional Rent and Additional Charges, and (y) to pay sums into
-42-
the Reserve shall be reduced dollar for dollar to the extent that Tenant has not received for any Accounting Period pursuant to clause (ii) above an amount equal to Gross Revenues for such Accounting Period.
ARTICLE 6
IMPROVEMENTS
6.1 Improvements to the Leased Property. Tenant shall not undertake any material improvement to the Leased Property, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any such improvements shall, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, remain or pass to and become the property of Landlord, free and clear of all encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances. Additionally, Tenant shall not finance the cost of any construction on the Leased Property by the granting of a lien on or security interest in the Leased Property, or Tenant’s interest therein, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion.
6.2 Permitted Renovations. The activities permitted pursuant to Section 6.2.1 and Section 6.2.2 below shall collectively constitute “Permitted Renovations.”
6.2.1 Minor Alterations. Landlord acknowledges that certain minor alterations and renovations may be undertaken by Tenant from time to time (“Minor Alterations”). Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant shall be entitled to perform such Minor Alterations on or about the Leased Improvements and the Ski Personal Property; provided, however, that the cost of any such Minor Alteration shall not exceed $500,000.00 and the same shall not weaken or impair the structural strength of the Leased Improvements, alter their exterior design or appearance, materially impair the use of any of the service facilities located in, or fundamentally affect the character or suitability of, the Leased Improvements and/or the Ski Personal Property for the Permitted Use specified in Section 4.1.1 above or materially lessen or impair their value.
6.2.2 Additions, Expansions and Structural Alterations. Except as expressly permitted in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2.1 above, nothing in this Article 6 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to authorize Tenant to construct and erect any additions to or expansions of the Leased Improvements and/or the Ski Personal Property, or perform any alterations, the cost of which shall exceed $500,000.00, or which are of a structural nature, whatsoever (collectively referred to herein as the “Major Alterations”); it being understood that Tenant may do so only with the prior written consent and approval of Landlord, which consent and approval may be withheld by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion (but subject to the terms and provisions in Section 5.1.2(c)) and may be conditioned upon the payment by Tenant to Landlord of all reasonable costs (excluding Landlord’s overhead costs) incurred by Landlord in evaluating the same.
6.3 Conditions to Reserve Expenditures, Permitted Renovations and Major Alterations. In connection with any Reserve expenditures for capital improvements, Permitted Renovations or Major Alterations of the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property, the following conditions shall be met:
-43-
6.3.1 Before the commencement of any such work, plans and specifications therefor or a detailed itemization thereof prepared by a licensed architect reasonably approved by Landlord and Tenant or other design professional appropriate under the circumstances reasonably approved by Landlord and Tenant shall be furnished to Landlord for its review and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Such approval shall not constitute Landlord’s agreement that the plans and specifications are in compliance with Applicable Laws or an assumption by Landlord of any liability in connection with the work contemplated thereby.
6.3.2 Before the commencement of any such work, Tenant shall obtain the approval thereof by all Government Agencies having or claiming jurisdiction of or over the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property and by any utility companies that must approve such work. In connection with any such work, Tenant shall comply with all Legal Requirements and Applicable Laws of all Government Agencies having or claiming jurisdiction of or over the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property and of all their respective departments, bureaus and offices, and with the requirements and regulations, if any, of such public utilities, of the insurance underwriting board or insurance inspection bureau having or claiming jurisdiction, or any other body exercising similar functions, and of all insurance companies then writing policies covering the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property, or any part thereof.
6.3.3 Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that all such work will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor approved by Landlord, the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and all governmental requirements.
6.3.4 Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s expense, to inspect any such work at all times during normal working hours using such inspector(s) as it may deem necessary, so long as such inspections do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s work (but Landlord shall not thereby assume any responsibility for the proper performance of the work in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, nor any liability arising from the improper performance thereof).
6.3.5 All such work shall be performed subject to the terms in Article 7 herein and in Article 6 in the Personal Property Lease relative to any liens on Landlord’s and TRS Corp.’s fee simple interest or on Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property.
6.3.6 Upon substantial completion of any such work, Tenant shall procure a certificate of occupancy or other final approvals, if applicable, from the appropriate Government Agencies and provide copies of same to Landlord.
6.3.7 Tenant shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify, pay, insure, defend, save and hold harmless Landlord and its Affiliated Persons from and against and reimburse Landlord for any and all loss, damage, claim, cost, liability, fee and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees based upon service rendered at hourly rates) incurred by or asserted against Landlord which is occasioned by or results, directly or indirectly, from any such work conducted upon the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property, whether or not the same is caused by, or is the fault of, Tenant or any agent, employee, manager, contractor, subcontractor,
-44-
laborer, supplier, materialman or any other third party, but Tenant shall not be obligated to indemnify Landlord from any loss as aforesaid caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall Tenant be obligated to indemnify Landlord from any loss resulting from a Landlord Lien.
6.4 Salvage. Other than Tenant’s Personal Property, all materials which are scrapped or removed in connection with the making of repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals, replacements and additions pursuant to Article 5, Article 10 or Article 11 and the making of Permitted Renovations pursuant to this Article 6 shall be disposed of by Tenant, and the net proceeds thereof, if any, shall be deposited in the Reserve.
ARTICLE 7
LIENS
7.1 Liens, Generally. Subject to Article 8, Tenant 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 Tenant’s leasehold interest therein or any attachment, levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent, other than (a) Permitted Encumbrances, (b) restrictions, liens and other encumbrances which are consented to in writing by Landlord, (c) liens for those taxes of Landlord which Tenant is not required to pay hereunder, (d) Subleases permitted by Article 17, (e) liens for Impositions or for sums 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 8, (f) 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 Tenant) or are for sums that are being contested in accordance with Article 8, (g) any Mortgages or other liens which are the responsibility of Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Article 21, and (h) Landlord Liens.
7.2 Construction or Mechanics Liens. Landlord’s interest in the Leased Property shall not be subjected to Liens of any nature by reason of Tenant’s construction, alteration, renovation, repair, restoration, replacement or reconstruction of any improvements on or in the Leased Property, or by reason of any other act, error or omission of Tenant (or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant), including, but not limited to, construction, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens. All Persons dealing with Tenant are hereby placed on notice that such Persons shall not look to Landlord or to Landlord’s credit or assets (including Landlord’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 Tenant. Tenant has no power, right or authority to subject Landlord’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, or alleged to have been performed, for or on behalf of Tenant, Tenant 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, Tenant shall thereupon furnish Landlord 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
-45-
release as a matter of record. Landlord 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 Landlord reasonably deems necessary to protect the Leased Property and Landlord from mechanics’ liens, materialmen’s liens, or any other liens. In any event, subject to Section 7.3 below, Tenant shall pay when due all claims for labor or materials furnished to or for Tenant at or for use on the Land and Leased Improvements. Subject to Section 7.3 below, Tenant shall not permit any mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens to be levied against the Leased Property for any labor or material furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to Tenant or to Tenant’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 Tenant and shall immediately cause the release of any such liens as provided hereinabove.
7.3 Contest of Liens. Tenant may, at its option, contest the validity of any Lien or claim of lien if Tenant 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, Tenant 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. Tenant shall, at its own expense, using counsel reasonably approved by Landlord, diligently defend the interests of Tenant and Landlord in any and all such suits; provided, however, that Landlord may, nonetheless, at its election and expense, engage its own counsel and assert its own defenses, in which event Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and make available to Landlord all information and data which Landlord deems necessary or desirable for such defense.
7.4 Notices of Commencement of Construction. If required by the laws of the State, prior to commencement by Tenant of any work on the Leased Property which shall have been previously approved or deemed approved by Landlord as provided in this Agreement, Tenant shall record or file a notice of the commencement of such work or similar notice required by Applicable Law (the “Notice of Commencement”) in the land records of the county in which the Leased Property is located, identifying Tenant as the party for whom such work is being performed, stating such other matters as may be required by law and requiring the service of copies of all notices, Liens or claims of lien upon Landlord. Any such Notice of Commencement shall clearly reflect that the interest of Tenant in the Leased Property is that of a leasehold estate and shall also clearly reflect that the interest of Landlord as the fee simple owner of the Leased Property shall not be subject to construction, mechanics or materialmen’s liens on account of the work which is the subject of such Notice of Commencement. A copy of any such Notice of Commencement shall be furnished to and approved by Landlord and its attorneys prior to the recording or filing thereof, as aforesaid.
7.5 Landlord Liens. The following terms and provisions shall apply with regard to Landlord Liens:
7.5.1 If a Landlord Lien shall be imposed against the Leased Property on account of acts or omissions, or alleged acts or omissions, of Landlord, and such Landlord Lien materially adversely impairs Tenant’s leasehold interest in or ability to operate the Leased Property, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after written notice of such by Tenant, cause the
-46-
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. Landlord and Tenant agree that a Landlord Lien which negatively affects the transferability of the leasehold estate under this Agreement by Tenant is one example of a material adverse impairment of Tenant’s leasehold interest in or ability to operate the Leased Property (within the meaning of the immediately preceding sentence). If a Landlord Lien is released by payment of the obligation secured thereby or by other means permitted by law, Landlord shall thereupon furnish Tenant 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. In any event, subject to Section 7.5.2 below, Tenant shall pay when due all claims for labor or materials furnished to or for Tenant at or for use on the Land and Leased Improvements.
7.5.2 Landlord may, at its option, contest the validity of any Landlord Lien or claim of lien if permitted by and in strict compliance with Applicable Laws. In the event that such Landlord Lien materially adversely impairs Tenant’s leasehold interest in or ability to operate the Leased Property during the period such contest is being pursued, Landlord shall, to the extent practicable, undertake commercially reasonable efforts to remove such lien of record. If judgment is obtained by the claimant under any Landlord Lien, Landlord 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.
7.5.3 Landlord hereby agrees to indemnify, pay, insure, defend, save and hold harmless Tenant 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 Tenant in connection with any Landlord Lien which is within the scope of Section 7.5.1 and which Landlord fails, within the thirty (30) day period set forth in Section 7.5.1, 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 8
PERMITTED CONTESTS
Tenant 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 Tenant’s obligation to pay any Claims required hereunder to be paid by Tenant as finally determined, (b) such contest shall not cause Landlord or Tenant to be in default under any Mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement encumbering the Leased Property, or any part thereof (Landlord agreeing that any such Mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement shall permit Tenant to exercise the rights granted pursuant to this Article 8) 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 Landlord, (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) Tenant hereby
-47-
agrees to indemnify, pay, insure, defend, save and hold harmless Landlord 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 Landlord in connection therewith or as a result thereof. Landlord agrees to join in any such proceedings if required legally to prosecute such contest, provided that Landlord shall not thereby be subjected to any liability therefor (including, without limitation, for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection therewith) unless Tenant agrees to assume and indemnify Landlord with respect to the same. Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of any Claims and such charges and penalties or interest thereon which have been paid by Tenant or paid by Landlord to the extent that Landlord has been reimbursed by Tenant. If Tenant shall fail (i) to pay or cause to be paid any Claims when 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, Landlord may, upon Notice to Tenant, pay such charges, together with interest and penalties due with respect thereto, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefor, upon demand, as Additional Charges.
ARTICLE 9

-48-

The amount of such loss of rents or business income insurance, as applicable, shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Tenant’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property for the succeeding period of coverage required above. All proceeds payable under any such policy pursuant to this Section 9.1.3 shall promptly be deposited into such accounts as required by Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee, if any, and any documents evidencing Landlord’s First Mortgage Lien against the Leased Property;

As used herein, “Institutional Investor” is defined as any bank, savings and loan association, trust company, insurance company, pension fund, credit union or real estate investment trust actively engaged in owning, acquiring and/or financing major commercial real estate properties in the United States of America; and
9.1.11 with respect to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to Sections 9.1.1 through 9.1.4 above, during any period of the Term of this Agreement that the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (“TRIA”) is in effect, Tenant shall maintain coverage against all “certified acts of terrorism,” as defined by TRIA and “non-certified acts of terrorism.”
9.2 Form of Policies. All insurance provided for in Section 9.1 shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”) and shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord and TRS Corp. as to deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “A” – VII or better by at least two Rating Agencies, one of which must be S&P or such other rating agencies reasonably approved by Landlord and TRS Corp. The Policies described in this Article 9 shall designate Landlord, TRS Corp. and their successors and assigns as additional insureds, mortgagees and/or lenders loss payee as deemed appropriate by Landlord and TRS Corp. To the extent such Policies are not available as of the Commencement Date, upon Landlord’s or TRS Corp.’s request, Tenant shall deliver certified copies of all Policies to Landlord or TRS Corp., as applicable, not later than thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates, Tenant will provide to Landlord and TRS Corp. Evidence of Property Certificates and Certificates of Liability evidencing renewal coverage accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and TRS Corp. of payment of the premiums currently due.
9.3 Blanket Policies. Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property collectively the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property in compliance with the provisions of this Article 9.
-50-
9.4 Additional Insureds. All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 9.1, except for the Policy referenced in Section 9.1.5, shall name Tenant as the insured and Landlord, TRS Corp. and their Mortgagees and Manager as additional insureds, as its or their interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Mortgagee providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Mortgagee.
9.5 Endorsements. All Policies provided for in this Article 9 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
9.5.1 no act or negligence of Tenant, or anyone acting for Tenant, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Landlord, TRS Corp. and their Mortgagees are concerned;
9.5.2 the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to TRS Corp., Landlord and their Mortgagees and any other party named therein as an additional insured;
9.5.3 the issuers thereof shall give written notice to TRS Corp., Landlord and their Mortgagees if the Policies have not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to their expiration; and
9.5.4 Landlord and its Mortgagee shall not be liable for any insurance premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
9.6 Landlord’s Right to Obtain Coverage. If at any time Landlord or TRS Corp. is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies required hereunder are in full force and effect, Landlord and TRS Corp. shall have the right, upon ten (10) days prior written Notice to Tenant, to take such action as Landlord and TRS Corp. deem reasonably necessary to protect their interests in the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property, respectively, including, without limitation, obtaining such Policies as Landlord and TRS Corp. in their sole discretion deem appropriate. All premiums incurred by Landlord or TRS Corp. in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord or TRS Corp., as applicable, upon five (5) days written Notice and, until paid, shall bear interest at the Default Rate; provided, however, Tenant shall not be obligated under this Section 9.6 to reimburse Landlord or TRS Corp. for insurance coverage that is more extensive or more expansive than the insurance coverage that is required to be maintained by Tenant under Section 9.1.
9.7 Insurance Costs and Expenses as Additional Charges. With respect to this Article 9, all insurance premiums, costs and other expenses, including any Insurance Retention (as
-51-
defined below), shall be treated as an Imposition payable by Tenant as Additional Charges. All charges under blanket insurance programs shall be allocated to the Leased Property or Ski Personal Property, as applicable. Any losses and associated costs and expenses that are uninsured shall be treated as a cost of insurance and shall also be treated as an Imposition. “Insurance Retention” shall mean the insurance policy deductible; however, for any insurance obtained through blanket insurance programs, “Insurance Retention” shall mean the Leased Property’s (and/or Ski Personal Property’s) per occurrence limit for any loss or reserve as established for the Leased Property (and/or Ski Personal Property), which limit shall be the same as is applied to other properties participating in the blanket insurance programs, or such higher amount if mandated by the insurer for high hazard risks such as earthquake, flood and wind.
9.8 Waiver of Subrogation. TRS Corp., Landlord and Tenant agree that with respect to any property loss which is covered by insurance then being carried by TRS Corp., Landlord or Tenant, respectively, the party carrying such insurance and suffering said loss releases the other of and from any and all claims with respect to such loss; and they further agree that their respective insurance companies shall have no right of subrogation against the other on account thereof.
9.9 Indemnification of Landlord. Except as expressly provided herein, Tenant shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and TRS Corp. for, from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), to the maximum extent permitted by law, imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Landlord or TRS Corp. by reason of: (a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property of third parties occurring on or about the Leased Property or Ski Personal Property or adjoining sidewalks or rights of way under Tenant’s control, and (b) any use, misuse, condition, management, maintenance or repair by Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant of the Leased Property, Ski Personal Property, or Tenant’s Personal Property or any litigation, proceeding or claim by Government Agencies relating to such use, misuse, condition, management, maintenance, or repair thereof to which Landlord or TRS Corp. is made a party; provided, however, that Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall not apply to any liability, obligation, claim, damage, penalty, cause of action, cost or expense arising from any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or TRS Corp., their employees, agents, contractors or invitees. Any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against Landlord or TRS Corp. covered under this indemnity shall be defended by counsel selected by Tenant and reasonably acceptable to Landlord or TRS Corp., as applicable, at Tenant’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, indemnification with respect to Hazardous Materials is governed by Section 4.3. The obligations of Tenant under this Section 9.9 shall survive the expiration or any early termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years.
ARTICLE 10
CASUALTY
10.1 Insurance Proceeds. Except as provided in the last clause of this sentence, all proceeds payable by reason of any loss or damage to the Leased Property or Ski Personal Property, or any portion thereof, and insured under any policy of insurance required by Article 9 (other than the proceeds of any business interruption insurance, which shall be payable directly
-52-
to TRS Corp., Landlord and Tenant, as their interests may appear) shall be paid directly to Landlord or TRS Corp., as applicable, and all loss adjustments with respect to property losses payable to Tenant shall require the prior written consent of Landlord or TRS Corp., as applicable. Provided that the deductible and the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord, or TRS Corp., as applicable, and Tenant pursuant to Article 9 equals or exceeds the cost of the repair or restoration of the Leased Property, Landlord or TRS Corp., as applicable, shall make the amount of the insurance proceeds available for the repair or restoration of the Leased Property or Ski Personal Property, as applicable (irrespective of any provisions to the contrary in any Mortgage documents).
If Tenant is required to reconstruct or repair the Leased Property or Ski Personal Property as provided herein, such proceeds shall be paid out of insurance proceeds paid to Landlord or TRS Corp., as applicable, from time to time for the reasonable costs of reconstruction or repair of the Leased Property or Ski Personal Property necessitated by such damage or destruction, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2.4. Any unexpended deductible amount and excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration shall be retained by Tenant or, if escrowed, paid to Tenant. In the event that the provisions of Section 10.2 are applicable, the insurance proceeds shall be retained by the party entitled thereto pursuant to Section 10.2. All salvage resulting from any risk covered by insurance shall be handled as set forth in Section 6.4.
10.2 Damage or Destruction.
10.2.1 Damage or Destruction of Leased Property. If, during the Term, the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property shall be totally or partially destroyed and thereby rendering them collectively Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, Tenant may, by the giving of Notice thereof to Landlord and TRS Corp., terminate this Agreement and the Personal Property Lease, whereupon this Agreement and the Personal Property shall terminate and Landlord and/or TRS Corp., as applicable, shall be entitled to retain the insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage.
10.2.2 Partial Damage or Destruction. If, during the Term, the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property shall be partially destroyed but not collectively rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, Tenant shall, subject to Section 10.2.3, promptly restore the Leased Property and/or Ski Property as provided in Section 10.2.4.
10.2.3 Insufficient Insurance Proceeds. If the cost of the repair or restoration of the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property exceeds the sum of the deductible and the amount of insurance proceeds received by TRS Corp., Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Article 9, Tenant shall give Landlord and TRS Corp. Notice thereof which Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such deficiency. Landlord and TRS Corp. shall have the right (but not the obligation), exercisable at Landlord’s and TRS Corp.’s sole election by Notice to Tenant, given within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s Notice of the deficiency, to elect to make available for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of such deficiency; provided, however, in such event, upon any disbursement by Landlord and/or TRS Corp. thereof, the Lease Basis (under this Agreement or under the Personal Property Lease, as applicable) shall be increased in an amount equal to such costs incurred by Landlord and/or TRS Corp. pursuant
-53-
hereto. If Landlord and/or TRS Corp. elect not to make available for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of such deficiency, Tenant shall have the right (but not the obligation), exercisable at Tenant’s sole election by Notice to Landlord and/or TRS Corp., given within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s or TRS Corp.’s Notice to Tenant of Landlord’s or TRS Corp.’s election not to make available for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of such deficiency, to make such funds available. If Tenant elects to make such funds available, the same shall become an irrevocable obligation of Tenant pursuant to this Agreement, and such costs and expenses shall not be Property Operating Expenses nor shall they in any way reduce the amount of Guarantor’s liability under the Guaranty. In the event that neither TRS Corp., Landlord nor Tenant shall elect to make such deficiency available for restoration, either Landlord, TRS Corp. or Tenant may terminate this Agreement and the Personal Property Lease by Notice to the others, whereupon this Agreement and the Personal Property Lease shall terminate as provided in Section 10.2.1. It is expressly understood and agreed, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Tenant shall be strictly liable and solely responsible for the amount of any deductible.
10.2.4 Repairs. In the event Tenant is required to restore the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property pursuant to this Section 10.2, Tenant shall commence promptly and continue diligently to perform the repair and restoration of the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property (hereinafter called the “Work”), so as to restore the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property in compliance with all Legal Requirements and so that the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property shall be, to the extent practicable, substantially equivalent in value and general utility to its general utility and value immediately prior to such damage or destruction. Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord and/or TRS Corp. shall be required to advance the insurance proceeds and any additional amounts payable by Landlord and/or TRS Corp. pursuant to Section 10.2.3 to Tenant regularly during the repair and restoration period so as to permit payment for the cost of any such restoration and repair. Any such advances shall be made not more than monthly within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant submits to Landlord and/or TRS Corp. a written requisition and substantiation therefor on AIA Forms G702 and G703 (or on such other form or forms as may be reasonably acceptable to Landlord and/or TRS Corp.). Landlord and/or TRS Corp. may, at their option, require, prior to advancement of said insurance proceeds and other amounts by Landlord and/or TRS Corp., (a) approval of plans and specifications by an architect satisfactory to Landlord and/or TRS Corp. (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (b) general contractors’ estimates, (c) architect’s certificates, (d) unconditional lien waivers of general contractors, if available, (e) evidence of approval by all Government Agencies and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required, (f) deposit by Tenant of the applicable deductible amount with Landlord and/or TRS Corp., and (g) such other terms as Landlord and/or TRS Corp. may reasonably require. Tenant’s obligation to restore the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property pursuant to this Article 10 shall be subject to the release of available insurance proceeds by Landlord and/or TRS Corp. or directly to Tenant and, in the event such proceeds are insufficient, Landlord and/or TRS Corp. electing to make such deficiency available therefor.
10.3 Damage Near End of Term. Notwithstanding any provisions of Sections 10.1 or 10.2 to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property occurs during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Term (including any Renewal
-54-
Term(s) exercised by Tenant hereunder) and if such damage or destruction cannot reasonably be expected to be fully repaired and restored prior to the date that is twelve (12) months prior to the end of the Term, the provisions of Section 10.2 shall apply as if the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property had been totally or partially destroyed and the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property collectively rendered Unsuitable for its Permitted Use. In addition, neither Landlord nor TRS Corp. shall have any obligation to fund or complete any repairs or reconstruction of damage to or destruction of the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property that occurs during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Initial Term or during any Renewal Term unless Tenant exercises its option to extend the Term for the next Renewal Term by providing Landlord and/or TRS Corp. with written notice of Tenant’s election to so extend the Term promptly after such damage or destruction.
10.4 Tenant’s Personal Property. All insurance proceeds payable by reason of any loss of or damage to any of Tenant’s Personal Property shall be paid to and shall belong solely to Tenant.
10.5 Restoration of Tenant’s Personal Property. If Tenant is required to restore the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property as hereinabove provided, Tenant shall either restore or replace Tenant’s Personal Property which is necessary for Tenant’s operation of the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property and the Businesses thereon with other personal property of the same or better quality and utility.
10.6 No Abatement of Rent. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant’s obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other charges as and when required under this Agreement shall remain unabated during the Term, notwithstanding any damage involving the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property (provided that Landlord and/or TRS Corp. shall credit against such payments any amounts paid to Landlord and/or TRS Corp. as a consequence of such damage under any business interruption or rent loss insurance obtained by Tenant hereunder). The provisions of this Article 10 shall be considered an express agreement governing any cause of damage or destruction to the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property and, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, no local or State statute, laws, rules, regulations or ordinances in effect during the Term which provide for such a contingency shall have any application in such case.
10.7 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property.
10.8 Rights of Mortgagee. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, so long as a First Mortgage Lien is an Encumbrance, all insurance proceeds with respect to the Leased Property and/or Ski Personal Property shall be paid and disbursed in accordance with the First Mortgage Loan Documents.

ARTICLE 11
CONDEMNATION
11.1 Total Condemnation. If either (a) the whole of the Leased Property shall be taken by Condemnation or (b) a Condemnation of less than the whole of the Leased Property, including, without limitation, the ski areas, hotels or restaurants, renders the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property collectively Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, this Agreement shall terminate and, notwithstanding such termination, Tenant and Landlord shall seek (and be entitled to receive) the Award for their respective interests in the Leased Property as provided in Section 11.7.
11.2 Partial Condemnation. In the event of a Condemnation of less than the whole of the Leased Property, such that the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property collectively are not rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, Tenant shall, to the extent of the Award and any additional amounts disbursed by Landlord, as hereinafter provided, commence promptly and continue diligently to restore the untaken portion of the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property so that such Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property shall constitute a complete architectural unit of the same general character and condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances) as the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property existing immediately prior to such Condemnation, in full compliance with all Legal Requirements, subject to the provisions of this Section 11.2. All salvage resulting from any Condemnation shall be handled as set forth in Section 6.4. If the cost of the repair or restoration of the Leased Property and the Ski Personal Property exceeds the amount of the Award, Tenant shall give Landlord and TRS. Corp. Notice thereof, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such deficiency. Landlord and TRS Corp. shall have the right (but not the obligation), exercisable at Landlord’s and TRS Corp.’s sole election by Notice to Tenant, given within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s Notice of the deficiency, to elect to make available for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of such deficiency; provided, however, in such event, upon any disbursement by Landlord and TRS Corp. thereof, the Lease Basis (under this Agreement or under the Personal Property Lease, as applicable) shall be increased in an amount equal to such costs incurred by Landlord and/or TRS Corp. pursuant hereto. If Landlord and/or TRS Corp. elects not to make available for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of such deficiency, Tenant shall have the right (but not the obligation), exercisable at Tenant’s sole election by Notice to Landlord and/or TRS Corp., given within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s or TRS Corp.’s Notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election not to make available for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of such deficiency, to make such funds available. If Tenant elects to make such funds available, the same shall become an irrevocable obligation of Tenant pursuant to this Agreement, and such costs and expenses shall not be Property Operating Expenses nor shall they in any way reduce the amount of Guarantor’s liability under the Guaranty. Provided, however, and notwithstanding any term or provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Award proceeds received by Landlord and/or TRS Corp. in connection with a Condemnation of less that the whole of the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property equals or exceeds the cost of the repair or restoration of the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property, Landlord and/or TRS Corp. shall make the amount of the Award proceeds available for the repair or restoration of the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property (irrespective of any provisions to the contrary in any Mortgage documents).
-56-
11.3 Disbursement of Award. Subject to the terms hereof, Tenant shall transfer any part of the Award received, together with severance and other damages awarded for the taken Leased Improvements, to Landlord and/or TRS Corp. for the purpose of funding the cost of the repair or restoration. Landlord and/or TRS Corp. may require, at its option, prior to advancement of such Award and other amounts, (a) approval of plans and specifications by an architect satisfactory to Landlord and/or TRS Corp. (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (b) general contractors’ estimates, (c) architect’s certificates, (d) unconditional lien waivers of general contractors, if available, and (e) evidence of approval by all Government Agencies and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required. Obligations under this Section 11.3 to disburse the Award and such other amounts shall be subject to (i) the collection thereof and (ii) the release of such Award by the applicable Mortgagee. Tenant’s obligation to restore the Leased Property shall be subject to the availability of the Award to fund the cost of such repair or restoration upon its compliance with this Section 11.3.
11.4 Abatement of Rent. In the event of a partial Condemnation pursuant to Section 11.2 of this Agreement, Rent shall be equitably abated under this Agreement and/or the Personal Property Lease as agreed upon by Tenant, Landlord and TRS Corp., or if Landlord, Tenant and TRS Corp. are unable to agree, as determined by arbitration pursuant to this Agreement.
11.5 Condemnation Near End of Term. Landlord and TRS Corp. shall have no obligation to fund (from the Award or otherwise) or complete any restoration of the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property in connection with any Condemnation that occurs during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Initial Term or during any Renewal Term unless Tenant exercises its option to extend the Term for the next Renewal Term by providing Landlord with written notice of Tenant’s election to so extend the Term promptly after such Condemnation.
11.6 Temporary Condemnation. In the event of any temporary Condemnation of the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property, or any portion thereof, or Tenant’s interest therein, this Agreement and the Personal Property Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to pay, in the manner and on the terms herein specified, the full amount of the Rent under this Agreement and the Personal Property Lease. Tenant shall continue to perform and observe all of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement on the part of Tenant to be performed and observed. The entire amount of any Award made for such temporary Condemnation allocable to the Term, whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise, shall be paid to Tenant. Tenant shall, promptly upon the termination of any such period of temporary Condemnation, at its sole cost and expense, restore the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property to the condition that existed immediately prior to such Condemnation, in full compliance with all Legal Requirements, unless such period of temporary Condemnation shall extend beyond the expiration of the Term, in which event Tenant shall not be required to make such restoration. For purposes of this Section 11.5, a Condemnation shall be deemed to be temporary if the period of such Condemnation is not expected to, and does not, exceed twelve (12) months.
11.7 Allocation of Award. Except as provided in Section 11.5 and the second sentence of this Section 11.7, the total Award shall be solely the property of and payable to Landlord and/or TRS Corp. Any portion of the Award made for the taking of Tenant’s leasehold interest
-57-
in the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property, loss of business during the remainder of the Term, the taking of Tenant’s Personal Property, or Tenant’s removal and relocation expenses shall be the sole property of and payable to Tenant (subject to the provisions of Section 11.2). In any Condemnation proceedings, Landlord, TRS Corp. and Tenant shall each seek its own Award in conformity herewith, at its own expense.
11.8 Mortgagee Award Disbursement. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, so long as a First Mortgage Lien is an Encumbrance, any Award with respect to the Leased Property and/or the Ski Personal Property shall be paid and disbursed in accordance with the First Mortgage Loan Documents.
ARTICLE 12
OTHER ACTS BY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
12.1 Procedure. In the event of any act of a Government Agency (other than Condemnation) that renders the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property collectively Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, Tenant may give Landlord Notice thereof, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the act of the Government Agency which renders the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property collectively Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, the information that supports Tenant’s contention that the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property collectively are in fact rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use as a result of such act of the Government Agency and that Tenant intends to terminate this Agreement.
12.2 Landlord’s Right to Mitigate. In the event that Landlord receives a Notice from Tenant pursuant to Section 12.1 above, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, to elect by written Notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice, to attempt to mitigate the act of the Government Agency which renders the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property collectively Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, such that the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property collectively will no longer be Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use (such mitigation being either through seeking a reversal of the act of the Government Agency or by mitigating the effects of such act on the Leased Property, or through such other means as may mitigate the effect of such act). Upon delivery of Landlord’s Notice to Tenant, Landlord shall commence immediately to pursue such mitigation and shall continuously and diligently pursue such mitigation through the use of commercially reasonable efforts. Additionally, during the period of mitigation, Landlord shall prepare and deliver monthly written reports to Tenant providing reasonable details regarding Landlord’s specific efforts to mitigate the act of the Government Agency. In the event of a dispute between Landlord and Tenant as to whether the mitigation efforts of Landlord have resulted in the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property collectively being no longer Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, either Landlord or Tenant may submit such dispute to arbitration pursuant to Article 20.
12.3 Abatement of Rent. In the event an act of a Government Agency renders the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property collectively Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use and Landlord elects, pursuant to Section 12.2, to attempt to mitigate the act of the Government Agency which renders the Leased and Ski Personal Property collectively Property Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, Rent under both this Agreement and the Personal Property Lease shall be
-58-
equitably abated in an amount as agreed upon by Tenant and Landlord commencing on the date such act effectively renders the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property collectively Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use and continuing through the earlier to occur of (i) the effective date that Landlord’s mitigation efforts are in effect (so that the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property collectively are no longer Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use) (ii) Landlord’s failure to mitigate despite efforts to do so hereunder within the one hundred eighty (180) day period contemplated by Section 12.4 below, (iii) the cessation of mitigation efforts or activities by Landlord (provided that Landlord has given Tenant Notice of such cessation), or (iv) the effective date of the termination of this Agreement and the Personal Property Lease pursuant to Section 12.4. If Landlord, TRS Corp. and Tenant are unable to agree regarding the amount of any such Rent abatement, then either party may submit such dispute to arbitration pursuant to Article 20.
12.4 Tenant’s Termination Rights. If any act of a Government Agency (other than Condemnation, which is addressed in Article 11 above) renders the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property collectively Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use and either (a) Landlord does not timely provide Notice to Tenant under Section 12.2 that Landlord elects to attempt to mitigate or (b) Landlord does timely provide Notice to Tenant under Section 12.2 that Landlord elects to attempt to mitigate and such act is not mitigated in compliance with Section 12.2 by the date which is one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of Landlord’s Notice to Tenant of its election to mitigate, Tenant shall be deemed to have terminated this Agreement and the Personal Property Lease in accordance with its Notice to Landlord contemplated by Section 12.1 above. If this Agreement and the Personal Property Lease is hereafter terminated pursuant to the preceding sentence, such termination shall be effective (i) on the date specified in such Notice, in the event Landlord elects not to mitigate pursuant to Section 12.2, which date shall be not later than the forty-fifth (45th) day after the date on which Landlord gives Notice to Tenant that Landlord elects not to mitigate or (ii) upon the expiration of the aforementioned one hundred and eighty (180) day period, in the event Landlord elects to mitigate but fails in its efforts to achieve mitigation.
ARTICLE 13
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
13.1 Defaults by Tenant.
13.1.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” by Tenant hereunder:

-60-
cannot be accomplished with due diligence within such period of time and if, in addition, Tenant commences to cure or cause to be cured such default within fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof from Landlord 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
(h) unless Tenant shall be contesting such lien or attachment in good faith in accordance with Article 8, should the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or the estate or interest of Tenant 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 Landlord within thirty (30) days after such attachment or levy; or
(i) should an Event of Default by Lessee (as defined in the Personal Property Lease) occur and continue under the Personal Property Lease.
13.1.2 Remedy for Event of Default by Tenant.

If and to the extent that Landlord acts to mitigate its losses and damages in the case of an Event of Default by Tenant, Tenant shall receive the benefit of any mitigation that is achieved by Landlord. Furthermore, Landlord shall be entitled to accelerate Rent under this Agreement only in the event that Tenant fails to continue to make such payments of Rent when due under this Agreement or within any cure period afforded to Tenant under this Agreement.
13.1.3 Application of Funds. Any payments received by Landlord under any of the provisions of this Agreement during the existence or continuance of any Event of Default by Tenant (and any payment made to Landlord rather than Tenant due to the existence of any Event of Default by Tenant) shall be applied to Tenant’s current and past due obligations under this Agreement in such order as Landlord may determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the State.
13.1.4 Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default. If an Event of Default by Tenant shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord, after Notice to Tenant (which Notice shall not be required if Landlord shall reasonably determine immediate action is necessary to
-61-
protect person or property), without waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant and without waiving or releasing any Event of Default by Tenant, 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 Tenant, and may, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, enter upon the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. All reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord 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 Landlord until repaid, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, on demand.
13.1.5 Landlord’s Lien. Landlord shall have at all times during the Term of this Agreement, a valid lien for all rents and other sums of money becoming due hereunder from Tenant, upon all goods, accounts, wares, merchandise, inventory, furniture, fixtures, equipment, vehicles and other personal property and effects of Tenant situated in or upon the Leased Property, including Tenant’s Personal Property or any derivation or replacement thereof or addition thereto applied by Affiliated Persons of Guarantor to other facilities, and such property shall not be removed therefrom except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement without the approval and consent of Landlord until all arrearages in Rent as well as any and all other sums of money then due to Landlord hereunder shall first have been paid and discharged in full. Alternatively, the lien hereby granted may be foreclosed in the manner and form provided by Applicable Law for foreclosure of security interests or in any other manner and form provided by Applicable Law. The statutory lien for Rent, if any, is not hereby waived and the express contractual lien herein granted is in addition thereto and supplementary thereto. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord from time to time during the Term of this Agreement such Financing Statements as may be required by Landlord in order to perfect the Landlord’s lien provided for herein or granted or created by State law. Tenant further agrees that during an Event of Default by Tenant involving a failure of Tenant to pay any Rent or other monetary sum hereunder, the terms and provisions in Section 22.4 shall be applicable.
13.2 Defaults by Landlord.
13.2.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” by Landlord hereunder:
(a) should Landlord fail to make any monetary payment (including, but not limited to, any amount payable by Landlord with respect to its obligation to fund certain improvements and Capital Expenditures pursuant to Article 5 herein or its obligation pursuant to the Side Agreement to obtain one or more third-party commercial loans to fund such improvements and Capital Expenditures or to satisfy such loans upon their maturity and prior to delinquency) when due and such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after Notice thereof; or
(b) should Landlord 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 Section 13.2.1(a) above) and such default
-62-
shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord; 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, Landlord commences to cure or cause to be cured such default within fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof from Tenant 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
(c) should Landlord generally not be paying its debts as they become due or should Landlord make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or should any petition be filed by Landlord under the Federal bankruptcy laws; or
(d) should any petition be filed by or against Landlord under the Federal bankruptcy laws, or should any other proceeding be instituted by or against Landlord 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 Landlord or for any substantial part of the property of Landlord and such proceeding is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after institution thereof, or should Landlord take any action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this paragraph; or
(e) should Landlord cause or institute any proceeding for its dissolution or termination; or
(f) should an Event of Default by TRS Corp. occur and continue under the Personal Property Lease.

Provided, however, and notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, (A) if Tenant initially elects to pursue the remedy in clause (ii) in the immediately preceding sentence and thereafter determines that it cannot cure the Event of Default, then Tenant shall be entitled to seek a remedy under clause (i) or clause (iii) and (B) if Tenant initially elects to pursue the remedy in clause (iii) in the immediately preceding sentence and thereafter determines that it cannot obtain injunctive relief against Landlord to cure such Event of Default, then Tenant may thereafter seek a remedy under clause (i) or clause (ii).
13.2.3 Application of Funds. Any payments received by Tenant from or on behalf of Landlord under any of the provisions of this Agreement during the existence or
-63-
continuance of any Event of Default by Landlord shall be applied to Landlord’s current and past due obligations under this Agreement in such order as Tenant 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.
13.2.4 Tenant’s Right to Cure Landlord’s Default. If an Event of Default by Landlord shall have occurred and be continuing, Tenant, after Notice to Landlord (which Notice shall not be required if Tenant shall reasonably determine immediate action is necessary to protect person or property), without waiving or releasing any obligation of Landlord and without waiving or releasing any Event of Default by Landlord, 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 Landlord. All reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Tenant 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 Tenant until repaid, shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant, on demand.

ARTICLE 14
HOLDING OVER
Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement shall be treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at a rate equal to one and one-half (1 1/2) times the Base Rent, together with all other charges herein provided (prorated on a daily basis). Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages (direct or indirect) sustained by reason of any such holding over. Otherwise, such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to the extent applicable. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 15
LANDLORD TRANSFERS
Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of (a “Transfer”) its interest in the Leased Property, or any portion thereof or interest therein, directly or indirectly, to any Person without the consent of Tenant, provided such transferee assumes all obligations of Landlord hereunder and subject to the terms and provisions in Section 23.8 and such sale or transfer is in conjunction with the sale or transfer by TRS Corp. of the Ski Personal Property. Landlord shall provide reasonable advance notice to Tenant of each such Transfer, including the name and notice address of the proposed transferee, and
-64-
Landlord shall promptly deliver to Tenant a copy of the instrument pursuant to which Landlord’s rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned to, and assumed by, such transferee following the consummation of such Transfer. Tenant shall attorn to such transferee and continue to be bound by this Agreement in the event of any such Transfer.
ARTICLE 16
REIT REQUIREMENTS
Tenant understands that, in order for Landlord to qualify as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under the Code, the following requirements must be satisfied. The parties intend that amounts to be paid by Tenant hereunder and received or accrued, directly or indirectly, by Landlord with respect to the Leased Property (including any rents attributable to personal property that is leased with respect thereto) will qualify as “rents from real property” (within the meaning of Code Section 856(d) and Section 512(b)(3)), and that neither party will take, or permit to take, any action that would cause any amount received by Landlord under this Agreement to fail to qualify as such under the Code. Consistent with this intent, the parties agree that:
16.1 Limitations on Rents Attributable to Personal Property. “Rents attributable to any personal property” leased to Tenant cannot exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the total rent received or accrued by Landlord under this Agreement for the Fiscal Year of Landlord. Consistent therewith, the average of the fair market values of the personal property (within the meaning set forth in Section 1.512(b)-1(c)(3)(ii) of the applicable Treasury Regulations) that is leased to Tenant with respect to the Leased Property at the beginning and end of a Fiscal Year cannot exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the average of the aggregate fair market values of the real and personal property comprising such Leased Property that is leased to Tenant under such lease at the beginning and end of such Fiscal Year (the “REIT Personal Property Limitation”). Landlord shall periodically (as of the Commencement Date and thereafter not less frequently than once per Fiscal Year) provide Notice to Tenant of Landlord’s then-current determination of the average of the fair market values of the personal property (within the meaning set forth in Section 1.512(b)-1(c)(3)(ii) of the applicable Treasury Regulations) that is leased to Tenant with respect to the Leased Property as a percentage of the average of the aggregate fair market values of the real and personal property comprising such Leased Property that is leased to Tenant under this Agreement. If Landlord reasonably anticipates that the REIT Personal Property Limitation will be exceeded with respect to the Leased Property for any Fiscal Year, Landlord shall notify Tenant, and Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith the purchase by Tenant of items of personal property in an amount anticipated by Landlord to be in excess of the REIT Personal Property Limitation, and Tenant shall select, in its sole discretion, the items of such personal property to be purchased by Tenant in an amount equal in value to such excess amount. Provided, however, that Tenant’s responsibility to purchase such personal property will be offset by Landlord in some mutually agreeable manner, which would not result in Landlord earning income which would constitute “unrelated business taxable income” within the meaning of Section 512 of the Code, if Landlord was a “qualified trust” within the meaning of Section 856(h)(3)(E) of the Code. In such case, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Agreement, Tenant shall resell, and Landlord shall repurchase, the foregoing personal property previously acquired by Tenant from Landlord for the amount Tenant originally paid for it.
-65-
16.2 Basis for Sublease Rent Restricted. Tenant cannot sublet the Leased Property or enter into any similar arrangement on any basis such that the rental or other amounts paid by the sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the net income or profits derived by the business activities of the sublessee or (b) any other formula such that any portion of the rent paid by Tenant to Landlord would fail to qualify as “rent from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2) and Section 512(b)(3) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder. If Tenant desires to enter into a Sublease or similar arrangement, Tenant may provide Landlord with Notice of the terms and provisions contemplated to be included in the relevant Sublease or similar agreement, and Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after such Notice is delivered to Landlord, notify Tenant as to whether such arrangement will be deemed acceptable to Landlord relative to the terms and provisions in this Section 16.2.
16.3 Landlord Affiliate Subleases Restricted. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublease the Leased Property to, or enter into any similar arrangement with, any Person in which Landlord owns, directly or indirectly, a ten percent (10%) or more interest, within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, and any such action shall be deemed void ab initio. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublease the Leased Property to, or enter into any similar arrangement with, any Person that Landlord would be deemed to control within the meaning of Section 512(b)(13) of the Code. If Tenant desires to enter into a Sublease or similar arrangement, Tenant may provide Landlord with Notice of the terms and provisions contemplated to be included in the relevant Sublease or similar agreement, and Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after such Notice is delivered to Landlord, notify Tenant as to whether such arrangement will be deemed acceptable to Landlord relative to the terms and provisions in this Section 16.3.
16.4 Landlord Interests in Tenant Restricted. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, neither party shall take, or permit to take, any action that would cause Landlord to own, directly or indirectly, a ten percent (10%) or greater interest in Tenant, within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, and any similar or successor provision thereto, and any such action shall be deemed void ab initio. In addition, anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, Tenant shall not take or permit to take, any action that would cause Landlord to own, directly or indirectly, such interest in Tenant such that amounts received from Tenant would represent amounts received from a controlled entity within the meaning of Section 512(b)(13) of the Code. If Tenant desires to enter into a transaction that Tenant is concerned may violate the terms and provisions in this Section 16.4, Tenant may provide Landlord with Notice of the terms and provisions contemplated to be included in the relevant transaction documentation, and Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after such Notice is delivered to Landlord, notify Tenant as to whether such transaction will be deemed acceptable to Landlord relative to the terms and provisions in this Section 16.4.
16.5 Landlord Services. Any services provided by, or on behalf of, Landlord will not prevent any amounts received or accrued from qualifying as “rent from real property” (within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2) or Section 512(b)(3) of the Code). If Tenant desires to enter into a
-66-
transaction that Tenant is concerned may violate the terms and provisions in this Section 16.5, Tenant may provide Landlord with Notice of the terms and provisions contemplated to be included in the relevant transaction documentation, and Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after such Notice is delivered to Landlord, notify Tenant as to whether such transaction will be deemed acceptable to Landlord relative to the terms and provisions in this Section 16.5.
16.6 Certain Subtenants Prohibited. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublease the Leased Property to, or enter into any similar arrangement with, any Person described in Section 514(c)(9)(B)(iii) or (iv) of the Code. If Tenant desires to enter into a Sublease or similar arrangement, Tenant may provide Landlord with Notice of the terms and provisions contemplated to be included in the relevant Sublease or similar agreement, and Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after such Notice is delivered to Landlord, notify Tenant as to whether such arrangement will be deemed acceptable to Landlord relative to the terms and provisions in this Section 16.6.
16.7 Future Amendment. Tenant hereby agrees to amend this Article 16 from time to time as Landlord deems necessary or desirable in order to effectuate the intent of this Article 16, provided no such amendments shall increase Tenant’s liabilities or reduce Tenant’s benefits under this Agreement unless Landlord fully accommodates and compensates Tenant for such increased liabilities or decreased benefits.
ARTICLE 17

17.1 Subletting and Assignment.
17.1.1 Except as provided in this Section 17.1, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer this Agreement or sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the granting of concessions, licenses and the like), all or any part of the Leased Property or suffer or permit this Agreement or the leasehold estate created hereby or any other rights arising under this Agreement to be assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or encumbered, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, or permit the use or operation of the Leased Property by anyone other than Tenant, or allow the Leased Property to be offered or advertised for assignment or subletting. During the first (1st) through the fourth (4th) Lease Years, Landlord’s consent to any such Sublease or assignment shall be in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, subject to the terms of the immediately succeeding sentence. For any portion of the first four (4) Lease Years during which neither CNL nor any Affiliated Person of CNL is Landlord under this Agreement, and after the expiration of the fourth (4th) Lease Year (regardless of who is Landlord under this Agreement), Landlord’s consent to Tenant’s sublease of all or any part of the Resort Operations or assignment, in whole or in part, of its rights as Tenant under this Agreement shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that it shall not be unreasonable to withhold its consent of such an assignment, Sublease or other transfer if, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, such transferee or assignee, lacks the character or the quality and relevant experience necessary to satisfy the obligations of Tenant hereunder.
-67-
17.1.2 A sale, assignment, pledge, transfer, exchange or other disposition of any equitable interest in Tenant or any Person Controlling Tenant which results in a change or transfer of management or Control of Tenant, or a merger, consolidation or other combination of Tenant with another Entity which results in a change or transfer of management or Control of Tenant, shall be deemed an assignment hereunder and shall be subject to the terms hereof. Provided, however, and notwithstanding the foregoing or any other term or provision in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) transfers of interests in Tenant and Affiliated Persons of Tenant to and among Affiliated Persons of Tenant and (B) transfers of interests in Guarantor or in any Entity that is an Affiliated Person of Guarantor, provided that (i) Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xx., (ii) any member of the Immediate Family of Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xx., (iii) any Entity that is an Affiliated Person of Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xx. and/or any member of the Immediate Family of Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xx., (iv) the Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Xx.

17.1.3 Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Landlord’s consent shall not be required for (i) any sale of an interest in Tenant, transfer, assignment or other conveyance by Tenant to an Affiliated Person of Tenant, Guarantor or Celebration Associates, LLC, (ii) any sale of an interest in Tenant, transfer, assignment or other conveyance of any direct or indirect equity interest in Tenant so long as Guarantor or Celebration Associates, LLC or an Affiliated Person of Celebration Associates, LLC continues to have Control over Tenant, or (iii) any Sublease transaction involving less than 500 square feet of space and having a term of six (6) months or less (but such Sublease transactions still shall be subject to the relevant terms in Article 16).
17.1.4 If this Agreement is assigned or if the Leased Property, or any part thereof, is sublet (or occupied by any Person other than Tenant) in violation of this Agreement, Landlord 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 17.1.1, the acceptance by Landlord of such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the future performance by Tenant of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement.
17.1.5 Except as set forth in Section 17.1.2, no subletting or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing primary liability of Tenant or Guarantor hereunder (unless Landlord and Tenant or Landlord and Guarantor expressly otherwise agree in writing that Tenant or Guarantor shall be released from all or certain obligations hereunder), and no consent to any subletting or assignment in a particular instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the prohibition set forth in this Section 17.1. No assignment, subletting or occupancy shall affect any Permitted Use.
17.1.6 In addition to the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant may only assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer this Agreement in conjunction with a transfer of Tenant’s interest in the Personal Property Lease.
17.2 Required Sublease Provisions. Any sublease by Tenant of all or any portion of the Leased Property entered into on or after the Commencement Date shall be made on Tenant’s

MORTGAGES
21.1 Landlord’s Mortgage. Subject to the provisions of this Article 21 and other relevant terms and provisions in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 23.12), Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, hereafter obtain a loan (the “First Mortgage Loan”) secured by a first mortgage lien on the Leased Property (the “First Mortgage Lien”).

The holder of any such First Mortgage Loan and any refinancings, renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, substitutions and extensions thereof is herein called the “Mortgagee.” All documents and instruments evidencing and securing the First Mortgage Loan and any refinancings, renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, substitutions and extensions thereof are herein called the “First Mortgage Loan Documents.” Without the consent of Tenant, Landlord may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 21, from time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist any lien, encumbrance or title retention agreement (“Encumbrance”) upon the Leased Property, or any portion thereof or interest therein, whether to secure any borrowing or other means of financing or refinancing.
21.2 Subordination of Lease. This Agreement, as the same may hereafter be modified, amended or extended, and all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to the Leased Property, and all rights and privileges of Tenant in and to the Leased Property are hereby and shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the First Mortgage Lien and all liens and security interests securing payment of the First Mortgage Loan, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, substitutions and extensions of the First Mortgage Loan and the First Mortgage Loan Documents and the rights, privileges, and powers of Mortgagee thereunder, so that at all times the First Mortgage Lien shall be and remain a lien on the Leased Property prior and superior to this Agreement for all purposes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall, in connection with the negotiation of any First Mortgage Loan Documents, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the relevant Mortgagee to execute a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 21.2. The First Mortgage Lien and any mortgage or deed of trust to which this Agreement is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate, is herein called a “Superior Mortgage” and the holder, trustee or beneficiary of a Superior Mortgage is herein called a “Superior Mortgagee.” If any Superior Mortgagee or the nominee or designee of any Superior Mortgagee or any successful purchaser at any foreclosure of the Superior Mortgage shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Agreement (any such person, a “Successor Landlord”), in no event shall the Successor Landlord have any liability under this Agreement prior to the date such Successor Landlord shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under this Agreement, nor any liability for claims, offsets or defenses which Tenant might have had against the Mortgagee as Landlord under this Agreement prior to the date such Successor Landlord shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under this Agreement. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that upon conveyance of title to the Leased Property to the Successor Landlord, Tenant shall attorn to the Successor Landlord and shall continue to perform all of Tenant’s obligations under the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Leased Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Provided, however, in the case of a foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure and the conveyance of title to the Leased Property in connection therewith, the obligations of Guarantor under the Guaranty which accrue from and after the date of such conveyance shall be extinguished and of no further force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be under no obligation to so attorn unless the Successor Landlord, within twenty (20) days after the date of obtaining title pursuant to such foreclosure, assumes all of the obligations of the Landlord under this Agreement which arise from and after the date of foreclosure, pursuant to a written assumption agreement which shall be delivered to Tenant.
-74-
21.3 Notices. Subsequent to the receipt by Tenant of Notice from Landlord as to the identity of any Superior Mortgagee (which Notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the applicable Mortgage), no notice from Tenant to Landlord as to the Leased Property shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such Superior Mortgagee at the address set forth in the above described Notice, and the curing of any of Landlord’s Defaults by such Superior Mortgagee (if completed in a timely manner under this Agreement) shall be treated as performance by Landlord.
21.4 Other Encumbrances by Landlord. Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, Landlord shall not encumber title to the Leased Property during the Term.
ARTICLE 22

However, as set forth in Section 4.1.2, Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant in connection with Tenant’s efforts to obtain and maintain such permits and licenses.
22.2 Maintenance of Accounts and Records. Tenant shall keep true records and books of account of Tenant in which full, true and correct entries will be made of dealings and transactions in relation to the business and affairs of Tenant, the Leased Property and Ski Personal Property.

22.4 Distributions; Payments to Affiliated Persons. Tenant shall not declare, order, pay or make, directly or indirectly, any Distributions if, at the time of such proposed action, or immediately after giving effect thereto, any Event of Default with respect to the payment of Rent or other monetary sums hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, however, that Tenant may resume making such Distributions if, while such Event of Default is continuing, (a) Landlord shall not commence, within ninety (90) days after Notice by Landlord to Tenant of the occurrence of any such Event of Default, to enforce its rights and remedies arising on account of such Event of Default with respect to the payment of Rent or other monetary sums hereunder, and diligently pursue enforcement of such rights and remedies thereafter, and (b) no other Event of Default (i.e., an Event of Default arising from a cause other than the non-payment of Rent or other monetary sums hereunder) has occurred and is continuing as to which Landlord has commenced enforcing and is continuously and diligently pursuing the enforcement of its rights and remedies arising on account of any such Event of Default.

ARTICLE 23
MISCELLANEOUS
23.1 Security Deposit. On or before the sooner of (i) the last day of the fourth (4th) Lease Year or (ii) the date upon which Guarantor no longer has any obligations to fund amounts due hereunder pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty (unless, prior to such date, Guarantor exercises its right under the Guaranty to increase the then-current amount guaranteed under the Guaranty to the amount of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00)), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and TRS Corp. jointly a security deposit in the amount of Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (the “Security Deposit”) which shall serve as security for Tenant’s faithful performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Agreement and under the Personal Property Lease. At Tenant’s option, the Security Deposit shall be deposited in the form of either (i) a cash escrow account or (ii) an irrevocable standby letter of credit (a “Letter of Credit”) from a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Landlord and TRS Corp.; and Tenant shall be entitled to substitute the form of the Security Deposit (between a cash escrow account and Letter of Credit) from time to time during the remainder of the Term. If Tenant elects to post the Security Deposit in the form of the Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit will have an expiry date that is either the first or second anniversary of its issuance date, and Landlord and/or TRS Corp. shall be entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit and convert it to a cash escrow account if Tenant fails to have the Letter of Credit reissued in proper form not later than thirty (30) days prior to its expiry date (and the same shall be true for each replacement Letter of Credit that may be delivered by Tenant to Landlord and TRS Corp. hereunder to serve
-77-
as the Security Deposit). Once delivered, the Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord and TRS Corp. for the remainder of the Term. If Tenant fails to pay Rent or Additional Charges due hereunder or under the Personal Property Lease, fails to fund the Reserve, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Agreement or the Personal Property Lease, then, in addition to and not exclusive of any other remedies available under this Agreement, each of Landlord and/or TRS Corp. may draw upon the Security Deposit (if and as needed) and use, apply or retain all or any portion of the funds drawn upon for the payment of any Rent (as such term is contemplated both in this Agreement and in the Personal Property Lease), the funding of Additional Charges (as such term is contemplated both in this Agreement and in the Personal Property Lease) or the Reserve or other charges in default, or for the payment of any sum to which Landlord and/or TRS Corp. may become obligated by reason of Tenant’s default. If Landlord and/or TRS Corp. so uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash or another Letter of Credit with Landlord and TRS Corp. in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount of the Security Deposit. No trust relationship is created herein between Landlord, TRS Corp. and Tenant with respect to the Security Deposit.
23.2 Limitation on Payment of Rent. All agreements between Landlord and Tenant 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 Landlord under this Agreement exceed the maximum permissible under Legal Requirements, the benefit of which may be asserted by Tenant 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 Landlord 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 Landlord and Tenant.
23.3 No Waiver. No failure by Landlord or Tenant 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. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, no waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.
23.4 Remedies Cumulative. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, each legal, equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Landlord or Tenant, 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 Landlord or Tenant (as applicable) of any one or more of such rights, powers and remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise by Landlord of any or all of such other rights, powers and remedies.
-78-
23.5 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.
23.6 Acceptance of Surrender. No surrender to Landlord 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 Landlord and no act by Landlord or any representative or agent of Landlord, other than such a written acceptance by Landlord, shall constitute an acceptance of any such surrender.
23.7 No Merger of Title. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that it is the intent of the parties that there shall be no merger of this Agreement or of the leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the fact that the same Person may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly, this Agreement or the leasehold estate created hereby and the fee estate in the Leased Property.
23.8 Conveyance by Landlord. If Landlord 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 15), other than as security for a debt, and the grantee or transferee of such of the Leased Property shall expressly assume all obligations of Landlord hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer, Landlord or such successor owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Landlord 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. Provided, however, and notwithstanding any term or provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any proposed successor owner(s) under this Agreement during the first five (5) years after the Commencement Date must, as a condition to the effectiveness of any conveyance of the Leased Property to such proposed successor owner, have sufficient assets and financial wherewithal (including liquidity) to fulfill the outstanding obligations of Landlord under Section 5.1.3 and the Side Agreement during the first five (5) years after the Commencement Date.
23.9 Quiet Enjoyment. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (in which case Landlord shall be entitled to exercise its rights and remedies as provided herein), Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property for the Term, free of hindrance or molestation by Landlord or anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, but subject to (a) any Encumbrance permitted under Article 21 or otherwise permitted to be created by Landlord hereunder, (b) all Permitted Encumbrances, (c) liens as to obligations of Landlord 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 Tenant’s ability to operate the Leased Property and (d) liens that have been consented to in writing by Tenant. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no failure by Landlord to comply with the foregoing covenant shall give Tenant the right to cancel or terminate this Agreement or xxxxx,
-79-
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 Tenant hereunder.
23.10 Memorandum of Lease. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Agreement. However, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly, upon the request of the other, enter into a short form memorandum of this Agreement, in form suitable for recording under the laws of the State. The parties shall share equally all costs and expenses of recording such memorandum.
23.11 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).
(b) All notices required or permitted to be sent hereunder shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes of this Agreement upon the date of acknowledged receipt, in the case of a notice by telecopier, and, in all other cases, upon the date of receipt or refusal, except that whenever under this Agreement a notice is received on a day which is not a Business Day, the day of receipt shall automatically be extended to the next Business Day.

By notice given as herein provided, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns shall have the right from time to time and at any time during the Term of this Agreement to change their respective addresses effective upon receipt by the other parties of such notice and each shall have the right to specify as its address any other address within the United States of America.
23.12 Construction; Limited Recourse Against Landlord. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, all claims against, and liabilities of, Tenant or Landlord arising prior to any date of termination or expiration of this Agreement with respect to the Leased Property shall survive such termination or expiration. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by all the parties thereto. This Agreement, together with the Side Agreement, constitutes 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 and in the Side Agreement. 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 Tenant shall be construed as an independent covenant and condition. Time is of the essence with respect to the exercise of any rights of Tenant or Landlord 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 Tenant (including, without limitation, any monetary, repair and indemnification obligations) and Landlord shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create or impose any liabilities or obligations, and no such liabilities or obligations shall be imposed on any of the shareholders, beneficial owners, direct or indirect, officers, directors, trustees, employees or agents of Landlord or Tenant for the payment or performance of the obligations or liabilities of Landlord or Tenant hereunder. Further, in the event Landlord shall be in Default under this Agreement, and if as a consequence of such Default, Tenant shall recover a money judgment against Landlord, 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 Landlord in the Leased Property, provided in no event shall Landlord place or permit Mortgages or other Landlord Liens on the Leased Property which, in the aggregate, result in a loan-to-value ratio of greater than seventy-five percent (75%). Tenant acknowledges that TRS Corp. is an intended third-party beneficiary (and obligor) with respect to certain provisions of this Agreement, as indicated herein or in the Personal Property Lease.
23.13 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
-82-
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.
23.14 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 20, 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.
23.15 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, 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.
23.16 SEC and Lender Disclosures. Tenant acknowledges that, in connection with Landlord obtaining the First Mortgage Loan, and pursuant to the requirements for disclosure applicable to Landlord, Landlord will be required to disclose information regarding the Leased Property, including occupancy and revenue data, expense and profit information pertaining to the Leased Property. Tenant authorizes Landlord to utilize such information as required.
23.17 Manager and Management Agreements. The Management Agreement between Tenant and Manager and any replacement thereof shall be fully subordinate to this Agreement. Landlord retains the right to reasonably approve the engagement of any manager for services related to the Resort Operations or the replacement of any such manager, and Tenant shall have the right (subject to Landlord’s reasonable right of approval) to replace the Manager and enter into new Management Agreements in the future. Landlord acknowledges that, as of the
-83-
Commencement Date, BW National Resort Management, LLC is an acceptable Manager for management services related to all or any part of the Resort Operations.
23.18 Guaranty. Landlord 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 Tenant under this Agreement and under the Personal Property Lease, as more particularly set forth in the Guaranty.
23.19 Transfer of Licenses. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Tenant shall use its good faith, diligent efforts, at Landlord’s expense, to transfer and assign to Landlord or its designee or assist Landlord 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 (excluding any items of Tenant’s Personal Property which Landlord is not entitled to purchase or, if so entitled, elects not to purchase, as provided in Section 5.2).
23.20 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.
23.21 Transactions With Affiliates. Tenant shall be entitled, without seeking or obtaining Landlord’s approval, to cause certain services (e.g., property maintenance and repair services) associated with the operation of the Leased Property to be provided by Subsidiaries of Tenant or by other Entities that are Affiliated Persons of Tenant. Presuming the cost of such services provided by Subsidiaries of Tenant or by other Entities that are Affiliated Persons of Tenant would fall within the definition of Property Operating Expenses if they were provided by a Person unrelated to Tenant, Tenant shall be entitled to include such costs and expenses in Property Operating Expenses to the extent that they do not exceed the amount that Tenant would have paid to a Person unrelated to Tenant to provide such services in an arms’ length arrangement.
23.22 Expense Obligations. With respect to any expenses or invoices that Tenant is obligated to pay under this Agreement and under the Personal Property Lease, in no event shall any obligations of Tenant that may be set forth both in this Agreement and in the Personal Property Lease be construed or applied in a manner that will result in Tenant paying more than one hundred percent (100%) (presuming that is what Tenant is obligated to pay) of such expense or invoice.
23.23 Capital Leases. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Landlord has caused certain equipment leases to be assigned to Tenant, or an Affiliate of Tenant, by MWH Preservation Limited Partnership, a New Hampshire limited partnership and Landlord’s predecessor in interest in the Leased Property, pursuant to that certain Second Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement of even date herewith by and between MWH Preservation Limited Partnership and CNL Income Properties, Inc., an Affiliate of Landlord. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that in the event that any of the aforementioned equipment leases are deemed, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, to be capital
-84-
leases (as opposed to operating leases), that the equipment which Tenant takes title to pursuant to the terms of such leases shall be deemed and shall become part of the Leased Personal Property, or, at the election of Landlord, shall be deemed and shall become part of the Ski Personal Property under the Personal Property Lease, and Tenant agrees to execute and deliver such documents as Landlord may reasonably require to cause and evidence the transfer of title to such equipment to Landlord. In the event that any of the aforementioned equipment leases are deemed capital leases by Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all actually-incurred non-recurring costs associated with such leases (including, without limitation, any transfer fees, assignment fees, non-refundable deposits, or other similar fees) at the time that such equipment leases are identified as capital leases and the amounts paid by Landlord to Tenant shall be added to and become part of the Lease Basis.
