22. Leasehold Mortgage.

(a) Tenant shall have the unrestricted right at any time and from time to time without Landlord’s consent to mortgage the Property and the Leased Premises, including the Improvements, and its leasehold interest under this Lease (but not Landlord’s fee interest), subject however to the limitations hereinafter set forth (including Landlord’s prior security interest described in Paragraph 26 (b) below). Any such mortgage shall be subject and subordinate to the rights of Landlord hereunder. A mortgage of the Property and/or Tenant’s leasehold interest under this Lease is herein referred to as a “Leasehold Mortgage,” and the party holding the Leasehold Mortgage (including any affiliate of such party) the “Leasehold Mortgagee.”

(b) No Leasehold Mortgagee shall be entitled to enjoy the rights or benefits mentioned herein, nor shall the provisions of this Lease pertaining to Leasehold Mortgages be binding upon Landlord, unless Landlord shall have been given written notice of the name and address of the Leasehold Mortgagee together with a true and correct copy of the Leasehold Mortgage, the note secured thereby, the security agreement related to any personal property located on or associated with the Property, financing statements related to any personal property located on or associated with the Property, all as related to any obligations to the Leasehold Mortgage, plus such portions of any loan agreement and/or other written agreements between the Leasehold Mortgagee and Tenant which pertain to the direct use, maintenance, and/or operations of the Property; and, during the Term of the Lease, any modifications or amendments to any of the above referenced specific documents.

(1) Landlord shall serve a copy of any notice, including a notice of default, required to be served on Tenant under this Lease upon such Leasehold Mortgagee at the address provided in the notice referred to in subsection (b) hereof, and no notice by Landlord to Tenant hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given unless and until a copy thereof has been served on the Leasehold Mortgagee.

(2) Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Landlord shall take no action to terminate this Lease without first giving to the Leasehold Mortgagee written notice thereof and, in the event of a monetary default, a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice to cure such default, or in the case of a non-monetary default, a period of ninety (90) days within which either (i) to obtain possession of the Leased Premises (including possession by a receiver) or (ii) to institute, prosecute and complete foreclosure proceedings or otherwise acquire Tenant’s interest under this Lease, or (iii) to cure such default. Such Leasehold Mortgagee, within ninety (90) days after obtaining possession or acquiring Tenant’s interest under this Lease, (the “Leasehold Mortgage Cure Period”), shall be required to cure all non-monetary defaults reasonably susceptible of being cured by such Leasehold Mortgagee; provided, however, that: (A) such Leasehold Mortgagee shall not be obligated to continue such possession or to continue such foreclosure proceedings after such defaults shall have been cured; (B) nothing herein contained shall preclude Landlord, subject to the provisions of this Section, from exercising any rights or remedies under this Lease with respect to any other default by Tenant; (C) such Leasehold Mortgagee shall agree with Landlord in writing to comply during the period of such forbearance with such of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease as are reasonably susceptible of being complied with by such Leasehold Mortgagee; and (D) if a non-monetary default which the Leasehold Mortgagee is otherwise required to cure pursuant to the provisions of this subparagraph (c)(4) is not reasonably susceptible to cure within the Leasehold Mortgagee Cure Period, the Leasehold Mortgagee shall be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements hereof as long as it has commenced action to cure such default within the Leasehold Mortgagee Cure Period, and diligently pursues such cure to completion, provided that it completes the cure of such default within 120 days after receiving written notice of default. For purposes of this Section 22(c)(4), the phrase “non-monetary defaults” shall not apply to any failure of the Tenant to have undertaken or completed contemplated constructions related to the Property; or any failure of the Tenant to rebuild any damaged or destroyed Improvements located on the Property. Also, for purposes of this Section 22(c)(4), in the event that the Tenant shall have obtained judicial delay or restriction upon any actions of the Leasehold Mortgagee to enforce any and all obligations owing to Leasehold Mortgagee, including foreclosing on the Leasehold Mortgage, or the Tenant shall have sought or been subjected to any bankruptcy proceedings which include or result in the delay or restriction upon any actions of the Leasehold Mortgagee to enforce any and all obligations owing to Leasehold Mortgagee, including foreclosing on the Leasehold Mortgage, then during any period of such delay or restriction the periods of time referred to in the first two sentences of this Section 22(c)(4) shall be suspended and shall resume running upon the expiration of any applicable appeal period in relation to the court orders and/or expiration periods which are applicable, if such court orders or expiration dates would permit the Leasehold Mortgagee to proceed with curing any defaults or foreclosing on the Leasehold Mortgage. Such Leasehold Mortgagee may become the legal owner and holder of Tenant’s interest under this Lease by foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure;

but no third party other than Leasehold Mortgagee shall be entitled to acquire Tenant’s interest under this Lease by foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure unless and until such proposed acquirer or assignee shall have satisfied the requirements set forth in Section 16(a)(l)(b)-(c).

(d) In the event of termination of this Lease prior to the expiration of the term, by reason of any default or for any other reason including, without limitation any rejection or disaffirmance pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to any insolvency or other law affecting creditors’ rights but excluding any termination by reason of condemnation or casualty as provided in Sections 15 and 16 herein or the default of Tenant and the failure to cure such default by the Leasehold Mortgagee after having notice thereof as provided in subparagraph (c)(4) above as a result of such bankruptcy proceeding, Landlord shall serve upon the Leasehold Mortgagee written notice that the Lease has been terminated together with a statement of any and all sums which would at that time be due under this Lease but for such termination, and of all other defaults, if any, under this Lease then known to Landlord. Such Leasehold Mortgagee shall thereupon have the option to obtain a new lease in accordance with and upon the following terms and conditions:

(1) Upon written request of the Leasehold Mortgagee within sixty (60) days after service of such notice that the Lease has been terminated, Landlord shall enter into a new lease of the Leased Premises with such Leasehold Mortgagee; or its designee, as set forth in clause (2) below. If the new lease is to be with an individual or entity other than the Leasehold Mortgagee, as a direct party, then such individual or entity, as designee of the Leasehold Mortgagee, shall have satisfied the requirements set forth in Section 16(a)(l)(b)-(d).

(2) Such new lease shall be effective on the date of termination of this Lease and shall be for the remainder of the term of this Lease, at the rent and upon all the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions hereof, including any applicable rights of renewal. Such new lease shall require the tenant thereunder to perform all unfulfilled obligations of Tenant under this Lease which are reasonably susceptible of being performed by such tenant. Upon the execution of such new lease, the tenant named therein shall pay all sums which would at the time of the execution thereof be due under this Lease but for such termination and shall pay the reasonable expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by Landlord in connection with such defaults and termination, the recovery of possession of said Leased Premises and the preparation, execution and delivery of such new lease. Upon execution and delivery of such new lease, such tenant shall be entitled to an adjustment in the amount otherwise owed pursuant to the terms of this paragraph, such adjustment to be equal to the net income, if any, derived by Landlord from the Leased Premises during the period from the date of termination of this Lease to the date of execution of the new Lease.

(3) Any such new lease shall maintain the same priority as this Lease with regard to any Leasehold Mortgage affecting the Property or any part thereof or any other rights, liens or encumbrances thereon. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be self-executing; provided, however, Landlord shall execute such reasonable documents as are necessary to effectuate the foregoing.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, this Lease may not be modified, amended, or canceled by the mutual agreement of Landlord and Tenant or surrendered without the express written consent of the Leasehold Mortgagee. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

(f) If Landlord and Tenant shall acquire the interest of the other hereunder, this Lease shall remain outstanding and no merger of the leasehold into the fee interest shall be deemed to have occurred.

(g) If any Leasehold Mortgagee shall acquire title to Tenant’s interest under this Lease by foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or under a new lease pursuant to subsection (d) above, the same shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment or transfer of this Lease or of the leasehold estate thereby created, and such Leasehold Mortgagee may assign such interest under this Lease or in such new lease (subject to the terms of Paragraph 16 (a)(i) regarding assignment) and shall thereupon be released from all liability for the performance or observance of the covenants and conditions in this Lease or in such new lease contained on Tenant’s or Tenant’s part to be performed and observed from and after the date of such assignment; provided, however, that the assignee of such Leasehold Mortgagee shall have expressly assumed this Lease or such new lease and written evidence of such assumption shall have been submitted to Landlord.

(h) Landlord acknowledges that as between Landlord and Leasehold Mortgagee, its nominee or a purchaser at a foreclosure or other sale, this Lease shall not be deemed to be terminated notwithstanding the rejection of the Lease by Tenant or its representative in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (the “Bankruptcy Code”), as amended, or any other insolvency law, provided that Leasehold Mortgagee, its nominee or a purchaser at a foreclosure sale confirms in writing that it is bound by the terms and conditions of the Lease to the same extent as Tenant named therein.

(i) Each Leasehold Mortgagee shall be given notice of any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding relating to this Lease and any dispute between the parties thereto and shall have the right to intervene in any such litigation, arbitration or other proceeding, but only to the extent of its interest as mortgagee, as its interest may appear, and not as a direct party to such litigation, arbitration or other proceeding. In any event, each Leasehold Mortgagee shall receive a copy of any award or decision made in such litigation, arbitration or other proceeding.

(j) In the event of default by Tenant in any Leasehold Mortgage, and regardless of the enforcement of Leasehold Mortgagee’s rights thereunder, Leasehold Mortgagee shall not have the right to remove any property, including any buildings, equipment or other improvements that constitute its collateral, from the Leased Premises.

If there shall occur any strikes, lockouts or labor disputes, inability to obtain adequate sources of energy, labor or material or reasonable substitutes, acts of God, governmental restrictions, regulations, orders, guidelines or programs, enemy or hostile governmental action, riot, civil commotion, fire or other casualty or any other conditions, whether similar or dissimilar to those enumerated above, which are beyond the reasonable control of any party to this Lease and not due to the fault or negligence of such party or financial inability to perform, these conditions shall be deemed “unavoidable delays”. If either party shall, as a result of any unavoidable delay, fail to punctually perform any obligation specified in this Lease (other than the payment of money), then such failure shall not be deemed a breach or default and the applicable time periods in which to perform shall be extended, but only to the extent reasonable to account for the unavoidable delay.

EXHIBIT A

GUARANTY

KNOW ALL MEN, that

For value received, in consideration of the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) paid by BLUE RIDGE REAL ESTATE COMPANY (“Landlord”) to the undersigned, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in consideration for, and as any inducement to Landlord entering into the foregoing Lease, between Landlord and JFBB Ski Areas, Inc. (“Tenant”), the undersigned, jointly and severally, for itself and its successors, successors in interests and assigns, guarantees to Landlord, its successors, successors in interest and assigns, the full and faithful performance by Tenant of Tenant’s covenants and promises under said Lease. The undersigned also guarantees the payment of all costs, attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing such performance. The undersigned waived notice of nonpayment or proof of notice or demand.

The validity of this Guaranty and the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty shall not be terminated, affected or impaired by reason of Landlord’s assertion against Tenant of any of Landlord’s rights or remedies under the Lease.

Landlord may, without notice to the undersigned, modify the Lease with Tenant and grant extensions of concessions to Tenant with respect to the Lease without affecting the liability of the undersigned under this Guaranty. The liability of the undersigned shall continue in full force and effect during any extension, option or renewal terms of this Lease. The undersigned guarantees the payment of all holdover rent, and any costs or expenses uncured by Landlord resulting from Tenant’s holdover beyond the termination of the Lease.

The liability of the undersigned is primary and may be enforced by Landlord before or after proceeding against Tenant and shall not be subject to deduction for any claim of offset, counterclaim or defense which Tenant may have against Landlord. Actions to enforce this Guaranty may be brought successively against one or both of the undersigned jointly or severally and against one without impairing or affecting the right of Landlord against the other. This Guaranty is a guarantee by the undersigned of payment, not collection.

The undersigned waived notice of acceptance of this Guaranty. The word “undersigned” as used herein refers to the signer hereof, its respective successors, legal representatives and assigns.
