The Transaction:
The Company is currently contemplating a transaction under which all of the outstanding stock of the Company shall be acquired by a purchaser or whereby, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, on the closing date, a merger subsidiary shall be merged with and into the Company (the “Transaction”), following which the separate corporate existence of the merger subsidiary shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Company”). The terms and conditions of this Retention Agreement are contingent upon the completion of the Transaction and will have no force or effect if the Transaction does not occur.
Retention Bonus Terms:
Upon execution of this agreement, and provided you meet the eligibility requirements set forth below, in the event that the Company completes a Transaction you shall be entitled to receive a cash payment in the amount of $325,000 less statutory deductions (the “Retention Bonus”).

Eligibility Requirements:
You must continue to perform the ongoing duties set forth in your current job description and remain an active employee of Intrawest, Surviving Company or its affiliates through the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”), in order to qualify for the Retention Bonus. Any voluntary resignation by you or termination for cause based on poor performance or policy violation prior to the Closing, as determined by the Company in its discretion, will eliminate you from eligibility for and entitlement to the Retention Bonus.
