Vail Resorts, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Business

Vail Resorts, Inc. ("Vail Resorts" or the “Parent Company”) is organized as a holding company and operates through various subsidiaries. Vail Resorts and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") currently operate in three business segments: Mountain, Lodging and Real Estate. In the Mountain segment, the Company owns and operates five world-class ski resorts and related ancillary businesses at Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone and Beaver Creek mountains in Colorado and the Heavenly Ski Resort ("Heavenly") in the Lake Tahoe area of California and Nevada. These resorts use federal land under the terms of Special Use Permits granted by the USDA Forest Service (the “Forest Service”). The Company also holds a 69.3% interest in SSI Venture, LLC ("SSV"), a retail/rental company. In the Lodging segment, the Company owns and operates various hotels, as well as RockResorts International, LLC ("RockResorts"), a luxury hotel management company, and Grand Teton Lodge Company ("GTLC"), which operates three resorts within Grand Teton National Park (under a National Park Service concessionaire contract), and the Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club (“JHG&TC”) in Wyoming. Vail Resorts Development Company ("VRDC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, conducts the operations of the Company's Real Estate segment. The Company's Mountain business and its Lodging properties at or around the Company’s ski resorts are seasonal in nature with peak operating seasons from mid-November through mid-April. The Company's operations at GTLC generally run from mid-May through mid-October. The Company also has non-majority owned investments in various other entities, some of which are consolidated (see Note 6, Variable Interest Entities).

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements reflect all adjustments necessary to state fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for interim periods are not indicative of the results for the entire year. The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2006. Certain information and footnote disclosures, including significant accounting policies, normally included in fiscal year financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The July 31, 2006 Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Net Income Per Common Share

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“EPS”), establishes standards for computing and presenting EPS. SFAS No. 128 requires the dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and requires a reconciliation of numerators (net income/loss) and denominators (weighted-average shares outstanding) for both basic and diluted EPS in the footnotes. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income/loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, resulting in the issuance of shares of common stock that would then share in the earnings of the Company. Presented below is basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

On March 13, 2007, The Vail Corporation (“Vail Corp.”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an amendment (the “Third Amendment”) of its existing Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among Vail Corp., Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, U.S. Bank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as co-syndication agents, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and LaSalle Bank National Association as co-documentation agents, and the lenders party thereto. The Third Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) decrease the total loan commitment from $400 million to $300 million, (ii) improve pricing, including unused commitment fees and letter of credit fees and improve flexibility in the Company’s ability to make investments, (iii) extend the maturity date from January 28, 2010 to February 1, 2012 and (iv) eliminate certain covenant ratios and change, for pricing and covenant purposes, the gross debt leverage ratio to a net debt ratio.

On March 19, 2007, The Chalets at The Lodge at Vail, LLC (the “Chalets”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a construction loan agreement (the “Construction Loan Agreement”) in the amount of up to $123 million with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as administrative agent, book manager, and joint lead arranger, U.S. Bank National Association as joint lead arranger and syndication agent, and the lenders party thereto. Borrowings under the Construction Loan Agreement are non-revolving and must be used for the payment of certain costs associated with the construction and development of The Lodge at Vail Chalets, a residential development consisting of 13 luxury condominium units, as well as the associated private membership club, skier services building and parking structure. The Construction Loan Agreement matures on September 1, 2009, and principal payments are due at maturity, with certain pre-payment requirements, including upon the closing of the condominium units. The Chalets has the option to extend the term of the Construction Loan Agreement for six months, subject to certain requirements. Borrowings under the Construction Loan Agreement bear interest annually at the rate, at the Chalets’ option, of (i) LIBOR plus a margin of 1.35% or (ii) the greater of the (x) administrative agent’s prime commercial lending rate or (y) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on that day as announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.5%. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. The Construction Loan Agreement provides for affirmative and negative covenants that restrict, among other things, the Chalets’ ability to dispose of assets, transfer or pledge its equity interest, incur indebtedness and make investments or distributions. The Construction Loan Agreement contains non-recourse provisions to the Company with respect to repayment, whereby under event of default, the lenders have recourse only against the Chalets’ assets and as provided for below the lenders do not have recourse against assets held by the Company or Vail Corp. All assets of the Chalets are provided as collateral under the Construction Loan Agreement. In connection with the Construction Loan Agreement, the Company and Vail Corp. each entered into completion guarantees, pursuant to which each of the Company and Vail Corp. guarantees the completion of the construction of the project (but not the repayment of any amounts drawn under the Construction Loan Agreement). However, Vail Corp. could be responsible to pay damages to the lenders under very limited circumstances. If either the Company or Vail Corp. is required to perform the Chalets’ obligation to complete the project, the lenders will make available to the Company or Vail Corp. any undisbursed commitments under the Construction Loan Agreement for the completion of construction and development of The Lodge at Vail Chalets.
 
At April 30, 2007, Non-Recourse Real Estate Financings consist of borrowings of $59.5 million under the $175 million construction agreement for Arrabelle at Vail Square, LLC (“Arrabelle”) and borrowings of $8.8 million under the $123 million construction agreement for the Chalets. At July 31, 2006, Non-Recourse Real Estate Financings also included borrowings under the $30 million construction agreement for Gore Creek Place, LLC (“Gore Creek”) which were paid in full during the nine months ended April 30, 2007.

In connection with a periodic review by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year end July 31, 2006, the Company is in discussions with the Staff regarding the Company’s classification of its Real Estate segment cash inflows and outflows within the operating and investing sections of its Statements of Cash Flows. If, as a result of these discussions, it is concluded that an alternative Statement of Cash Flow presentation is more appropriate than the Company’s current presentation, it would impact the operating and investing subtotals within the Statements of Cash Flows, but would not impact the overall net change in cash and cash equivalents in the Company’s Statements of Cash Flows. Furthermore, these discussions do not relate to the presentation of the Company’s previously reported operating results presented in its Statements of Operations or to the Company’s Balance Sheets.

6. Variable Interest Entities

The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of four employee housing entities (collectively, the "Employee Housing Entities"), Breckenridge Terrace, LLC (“Breckenridge Terrace”), The Tarnes at BC, LLC ("Tarnes"), BC Housing LLC and Tenderfoot Seasonal Housing, LLC, which are Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs"), and has consolidated them in its Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. As a group, as of April 30, 2007, the Employee Housing Entities had total assets of $40.9 million (primarily recorded in property, plant and equipment, net) and total liabilities of $65.7 million (primarily recorded in long-term debt as “Employee Housing Bonds”). All of the assets ($7.0 million as of April 30, 2007) of Tarnes serve as collateral for Tarnes' Tranche B Employee Housing Bonds. The Company has issued under its senior credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) $38.3 million letters of credit related to the Tranche A Employee Housing Bonds and $12.6 million letters of credit related to the Tranche B Employee Housing Bonds. The letters of credit would be triggered in the event that one of the entities defaults on required payments. The letters of credit have no default provisions.

The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Avon Partners II (“APII”), which is a VIE. APII owns commercial space and the Company currently leases substantially all of that space. APII had total assets of $4.7 million (primarily recorded in property, plant and equipment, net) and no debt as of April 30, 2007.

The Company had determined that it was the primary beneficiary of FFT Investment Partners (“FFT”), which was a VIE. FFT’s sole asset was a private residence in Eagle County, Colorado. In March 2007, the private residence owned by FFT was sold for $6.7 million, and thereafter FFT was dissolved.

The Company, through various lodging subsidiaries, manages the operations of several entities that own hotels in which the Company has no ownership interest. The Company also has extended a $1.5 million note receivable to one of these entities. These entities were formed to acquire, own, operate and realize the value in resort hotel properties. The Company managed the day-to-day operations of five hotel properties as of April 30, 2007. The Company has determined that the entities that own the hotel properties are VIEs, and the management contracts are significant variable interests in these VIEs. The Company has also determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these entities and, accordingly, is not required to consolidate any of these entities. Based on information provided to the Company by owners of the entities, these VIEs had total assets of approximately $143.0 million and total liabilities of approximately $53.1 million as of April 30, 2007. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these VIEs is limited to the note receivable and accrued interest of approximately $1.8 million and the net book value of the intangible asset associated with the management agreements in the amount of $973,000 as of April 30, 2007.

7. Relocation and Separation Charges
 
In February 2006, the Company announced a plan to relocate its corporate headquarters; the plan was formally approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in April 2006. The relocation process (which also includes the consolidation of certain other operations of the Company) was substantially completed by January 31, 2007. The Company currently expects that the total charges associated with the relocation that will result in cash expenditures will be approximately $3.8 million (which includes charges for severance and retention of approximately $1.7 million, charges for contract termination costs of approximately $400,000 and facility, employee and other relocation costs of approximately $1.7 million), of which all has been substantially incurred or recorded through April 30, 2007. The above amounts do not reflect any of the anticipated benefits expected to be realized from the relocation and consolidation of offices.

In addition, in February 2006, Adam Aron, the former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, resigned. In connection with Mr. Aron's resignation, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Aron, whereby the Company recorded $2.7 million of separation related expenses, which is included in “relocation and separation charges” in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006. Payments of Mr. Aron’s separation benefits were made during the nine months ended April 30, 2007.

8. Sale of Businesses

On April 30, 2007, the Company sold its 54.5% interest in RTP, LLC (“RTP”) to RTP’s minority shareholder for approximately $3.5 million. As part of this transaction the Company retained source code rights to its internal use software and internet solutions. The Company recorded a net loss of $601,000 on the sale of its investment in RTP, which was included in “(loss) gain on sale of businesses, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007. Additionally, as a result of this transaction the Company recorded a net gain of $690,000 related to the elimination of the put option liability to RTP’s minority shareholder and the write-off of the associated put option intangible asset (see Note 9, Put and Call Options, for more information on this transaction).

On January 19, 2006, JHL&S LLC, a limited liability company owned by wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, sold the assets constituting Snake River Lodge & Spa ("SRL&S") to Lodging Capital Partners, a private, Chicago-based hospitality investment firm ("LCP"), for $32.5 million, the proceeds of which were adjusted for normal working capital prorations. The carrying value of the assets sold (net of liabilities assumed) was $26.9 million, which were recorded as "assets held for sale" prior to the sale. The Company recorded a $4.7 million gain after consideration of all costs involved, which is included in "(loss) gain on sale of businesses, net" in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2006. The Company continues to manage SRL&S pursuant to a 15-year management agreement with LCP.

In conjunction with the December 8, 2004 sale of the Company’s 49% minority equity interest in Bachelor Gulch Resort, LLC (“BG Resort”), the Company had guaranteed payment of certain contingencies of BG Resort upon settlement. At the time of sale, the Company recorded a liability related to these contingencies in the amount of $130,000. In February 2006, the Company reached a settlement of these contingencies and recorded an additional liability in the amount of $82,000, which was recorded as a loss within "(loss) gain on sale of businesses, net" in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2006.

9. Put and Call Options

On March 31, 2007, the Company acquired 20% of GSSI LLC’s (“GSSI”), the minority shareholder in SSV, ownership interest in SSV for $8.4 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company holds an approximate 69.3% ownership interest in SSV. In addition, the put and call rights for GSSI’s remaining interest in SSV were extended to begin August 1, 2010, as discussed below, and the existing management agreement was extended to coincide with the exercise of the remaining put and call rights.

The Company’s and GSSI’s remaining put and call rights are as follows: (1) beginning August 1, 2010 and each year thereafter, each of the Company and GSSI have the right to call or put respectively, 100% of GSSI's ownership interest in SSV to the Company during certain periods each year; and (2) GSSI has the right to put to the Company 100% of its ownership interest in SSV at any time after GSSI has been removed as manager of SSV or an involuntary transfer of the Company's ownership interest in SSV has occurred. The put and call pricing is generally based on the trailing twelve month EBITDA (as defined in the operating agreement) of SSV for the fiscal period ended prior to the commencement of the put or call period, as applicable. As of April 30, 2007, the estimated price at which the put/call option for the remaining interest could be expected to be settled was $33.5 million.

In March 2001, in connection with the Company's acquisition of a 51% ownership interest in RTP, the Company and RTP's minority shareholder entered into a put agreement whereby the minority shareholder could put up to an aggregate one-third of its original 49% interest in RTP to the Company during the period from August 1 through October 31 annually. The put price was determined primarily by the trailing twelve month EBITDA (as defined in the underlying agreement) for the period ending prior to the beginning of each put period. The Company had determined that this put option should be marked to fair value through earnings. The put period was extended in October 2006, and again in February 2007. In connection with the Company’s sale of its 54.5% interest in RTP (see Note 8, Sale of Businesses, for more information on this transaction) the put agreement with RTP’s minority shareholder was terminated resulting in the Company recording a net gain of $690,000 for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 related to the elimination of its put option liability net of the write-off of the associated put option intangible asset. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006, the Company recorded losses of $113,000 and $79,000, respectively, representing an increase in the estimated fair value of the put option liability during those periods.

10. Related Party Transactions

In January 2007, Robert A. Katz, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, executed a purchase and sale agreement for the purchase of a unit at The Lodge at Vail Chalets project located near the Vista Bahn at the base of Vail Mountain for a total purchase price of $12.5 million. Mr. Katz provided an earnest money deposit of $1.9 million and upgrade deposits totaling $63,000. The earnest money deposits will be used to fund the construction of The Lodge at Vail Chalets project. The sale of the unit by the Company to Mr. Katz has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, in accordance with the Company's related party transactions policy.

In June 2006, the Company invested in the purchase of a residence in the Denver/Boulder, Colorado area, for Jeffrey W. Jones, the Company’s Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and his family in connection with his relocation to the Company’s new headquarters in Broomfield, Colorado. The Company contributed $650,000 towards the purchase price of the residence and thereby obtained a 31.0% undivided ownership interest in such residence. In January 2007, Mr. Jones repurchased the Company’s 31.0% undivided ownership interest for an appraised value of $650,000. The sale of the Company’s undivided ownership interest had been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, in accordance with the Company's related party transactions policy.

As of April 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding a $500,000 note receivable from Keystone/Intrawest, LLC, a real estate development venture in which the Company has an equity-method investment. This note was related to the fair market value of the land originally contributed to the partnership, and was repaid in the year ended July 31, 2006, as the underlying land was sold to third parties.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Metropolitan Districts

The Company credit-enhances $8.5 million of bonds issued by Holland Creek Metropolitan District ("HCMD") through an $8.6 million letter of credit issued against the Company's Credit Facility. HCMD's bonds were issued and used to build infrastructure associated with the Company's Red Sky Ranch residential development. The Company has agreed to pay capital improvement fees to Red Sky Ranch Metropolitan District ("RSRMD") until RSRMD's revenue streams from property taxes are sufficient to meet debt service requirements under HCMD's bonds, and the Company has recorded a liability of $964,000, $1.3 million and $1.7 million, primarily within "other long-term liabilities" in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, as of April 30, 2007, July 31, 2006 and April 30, 2006, respectively, with respect to the estimated present value of future RSRMD capital improvement fees. The Company estimates that it will make capital improvement fee payments under this arrangement through the year ending July 31, 2008.

Guarantees

As of April 30, 2007, the Company had various other letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $66.0 million, a portion of which are not issued against the Credit Facility, consisting primarily of $51.0 million in support of the Employee Housing Bonds, $4.5 million related to workers' compensation for Heavenly and The Lodge at Rancho Mirage, $6.2 million of construction performance guarantees and $2.9 million for workers' compensation and general liability deductibles related to the construction of Gore Creek and Arrabelle.

In addition to the guarantees noted above, the Company has entered into contracts in the normal course of business which include certain indemnifications within the scope of Financial Interpretations No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (“FIN 45”) under which it could be required to make payments to third parties upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain future events. These indemnities include indemnities to licensees in connection with the licensees' use of the Company's trademarks and logos, indemnities for liabilities associated with the infringement of other parties' technology based upon the Company's software products, indemnities related to liabilities associated with the use of easements, indemnities related to employment of contract workers, the Company's use of trustees, indemnities related to the Company's use of public lands and environmental indemnifications. The duration of these indemnities generally is indefinite and generally do not limit the future payments the Company could be obligated to make.

As permitted under applicable law, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries indemnify their directors and officers over their lifetimes for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving the Company or its subsidiaries in such a capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that should enable the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

The Company guarantees the revenue streams associated with selected routes flown by certain airlines into Eagle County, Colorado, Regional Airport; these guarantees are generally capped at certain levels. As of April 30, 2007, the Company has recorded a liability related to the airline guarantees of $200,000, which represents the estimated amount the Company will be required to pay. Payments, if any, under these guarantees are expected to be made during the year ending July 31, 2007.

Unless otherwise noted, the Company has not recorded a liability for the letters of credit, indemnities and other guarantees noted above in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, either because the Company has recorded on its Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet the underlying liability associated with the guarantee, the guarantee or indemnification existed prior to January 1, 2003 or the guarantee is with respect to the Company’s own performance and is therefore not subject to the measurement requirements of FIN 45, or because the Company has calculated the fair value of the indemnification or guarantee to be immaterial based upon the current facts and circumstances that would trigger a payment under the indemnification clause. In addition, with respect to certain indemnifications it is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under these guarantees due to the unique set of facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each particular claim and indemnification provision. Historically, payments made by the Company under these obligations have not been material.

As noted above, the Company makes certain indemnifications to licensees in connection with their use of the Company's trademarks and logos. The Company does not record any product warranty liability with respect to these indemnifications.

Commitments

In the ordinary course of obtaining necessary zoning and other approvals for the Company's potential real estate development projects, the Company may contingently commit to the completion of certain infrastructure, improvements and other costs related to the projects. Fulfillment of such commitments is required only if the Company moves forward with the development project. The determination whether to complete a development project is entirely at the Company's discretion, and is generally contingent upon, among other considerations, receipt of satisfactory zoning and other approvals and the current status of the Company's analysis of the economic viability of the project, including the costs associated with the contingent commitments. The Company currently has obligations, recorded as liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet, to complete or fund certain improvements with respect to real estate developments; the Company has estimated such costs to be approximately $11.7 million as of April 30, 2007, and anticipates completion of the majority of these commitments within the next two years.

The Company has completed installing a new gondola lift and related infrastructure at Breckenridge for the 2006/07 ski season pursuant to an agreement with the Town of Breckenridge (the “Town”). The Town contributed $6.7 million to fund construction of the gondola, as well as the already completed skiway. The funds contributed by the Town reduced the book value of the gondola and related infrastructure.

Self Insurance

The Company is self-insured for claims under its health benefit plans and for workers’ compensation claims, subject to a stop loss policy. The self-insurance liability related to workers' compensation is determined actuarially based on claims filed. The self-insurance liability related to claims under the Company’s health benefit plans is determined based on internal and external analysis of actual claims. The amounts related to these claims are included as a component of accrued benefits in accounts payable and accrued expenses (see Note 5, Supplementary Financial Statement Information).

Legal 

The Company is a party to various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, including Resort (Mountain and Lodging) related cases and contractual and commercial litigation that arises from time to time in connection with the Company's real estate operations. Management believes the Company has adequate insurance coverage or has accrued for loss contingencies for all known matters that are deemed to be probable losses and estimable.

Cheeca Lodge & Spa Contract Dispute

In March 2006, RockResorts was notified by the ownership of Cheeca Lodge & Spa, formerly a RockResorts managed property, that its management agreement was being terminated effective immediately. RockResorts believed that the termination was in violation of the management agreement and sought monetary damages, and recovery of attorney’s fees and costs. Cheeca Holdings, LLC (“Cheeca Holdings”), the entity owner of the hotel property, asserted that RockResorts breached the management contract, among other alleged breaches, and sought a ruling that it had the right to terminate the management contract and sought monetary damages, and recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs. Pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of the management agreement, the disputed matter went before a single judge arbitrator at the JAMS Arbitration Tribunal in Chicago, Illinois. The Company has incurred $184,000 and $816,000 of legal related costs related to this matter in the three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and has incurred $4.5 million and $816,000 of legal related costs related to this matter in the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which is included in “contract dispute charges” in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006.

On February 28, 2007, the arbitrator rendered a decision, awarding $8.5 million in damages in favor of RockResorts and against Cheeca Holdings. The arbitrator found that the ownership group had wrongfully terminated the hotel management contract without good cause, as RockResorts had maintained in the proceedings, and that RockResorts had not breached the management contract, as the ownership group had alleged. In accordance with the arbitrator’s ruling, RockResorts will seek recovery of costs and attorneys’ fees in the last stage of the proceedings. Upon conclusion of that stage, the total award, which will incorporate the $8.5 million damage award and any additional cost recovery award, is final, binding and not subject to appeal. Upon completion of the cost recovery stage, RockResorts will proceed with the collection of the award and will record the actual amount received, upon receipt, in “contract dispute credit (charges), net.”

Breckenridge Terrace Employee Housing Construction Defect/Water Intrusion Claims

During the year ended July 31, 2004, the Company became aware of water intrusion and condensation problems causing mold damage in the 17 building employee housing facility owned by Breckenridge Terrace, an Employee Housing Entity in which the Company is a member and manager. Breckenridge Terrace recorded a $7.0 million liability in the year ended July 31, 2004 for the estimated cost of remediation and reconstruction efforts. As of July 31, 2006, Breckenridge Terrace had substantially completed all remediation efforts.

Forensic construction experts retained by Breckenridge Terrace determined that the water intrusion and condensation problems were the result of construction and design defects. In accordance with Colorado law, Breckenridge Terrace served separate notices of claims on the general contractor, architect and developer and initiated arbitration proceedings which have since been closed. During the nine months ended April 30, 2006, the Company recorded an $852,000 mold remediation credit due to Breckenridge Terrace receiving reimbursement from third parties for costs incurred in conjunction with its mold remediation efforts. This credit has been recognized by the Company as reduction of the remediation expense that was originally recognized in the year ended July 31, 2004.

12. Stock Repurchase Plan

On March 9, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. During the nine months ended April 30, 2007, the Company repurchased 358,400 shares of common stock at a cost of $15.0 million. The Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the three months ended April 30, 2007. Since inception of this stock repurchase plan, the Company has repurchased 673,500 shares at a cost of approximately $25.8 million. As of April 30, 2007, 2,326,500 shares remained available to repurchase under the existing repurchase authorization. Shares of common stock purchased pursuant to the repurchase program will be held as treasury shares and may be used for the issuance of shares under the Company's employee stock based compensation plans. Acquisitions under the share repurchase program will be made from time to time at prevailing prices as permitted by applicable laws, and subject to market conditions and other factors. The timing as well as the number of shares that may be repurchased under the program will depend on a number of factors including the Company's future financial performance, the Company's available cash resources and competing uses for cash that may arise in the future, the restrictions in the Credit Facility and in the Indenture, dated as of January 29, 2004 among the Company, the guarantors therein and the Bank of New York, as Trustee, prevailing prices of the Company's common stock and the number of shares that become available for sale at prices that the Company believes are attractive. The stock repurchase program may be discontinued at any time and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's capitalization.

13. Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries

The Company's payment obligations under the 6.75% Notes (see Note 4, Long-Term Debt) are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several, senior subordinated basis by substantially all of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, and excluding Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries (as defined below), the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") except for Boulder/Beaver LLC, Colter Bay Corporation, Eagle Park Reservoir Company, Forest Ridge Holdings, Inc., Gros Ventre Utility Company, Jackson Lake Lodge Corporation, Jenny Lake Lodge, Inc., Mountain Thunder, Inc., SSV, Larkspur Restaurant & Bar, LLC, Vail Associates Investments, Inc., Arrabelle, Gore Creek, Chalets, Timber Trail, Inc. and VR Holdings, Inc. (together, the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"). APII and the Employee Housing Entities are included with the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries for purposes of the consolidated condensed financial information, but are not considered subsidiaries under the indentures governing the 6.75% Notes.

Presented below is the consolidated condensed financial information of the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Financial information for the Non-Guarantor subsidiaries is presented in the column titled "Other Subsidiaries." Balance sheet data is presented as of April 30, 2007, July 31, 2006 and April 30, 2006. Statement of operations data is presented for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006. Statement of cash flows data is presented for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the Parent Company and Guarantor Subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting. Net income (loss) of Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries is, therefore, reflected in the Parent Company's and Guarantor Subsidiaries' investments in and advances to (from) subsidiaries. Net income (loss) of the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries is reflected in Guarantor Subsidiaries and Parent Company as equity in consolidated subsidiaries. The elimination entries eliminate investments in Other Subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions for consolidated reporting purposes.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2006 ("Form 10-K") and the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements as of April 30, 2007 and 2006 and for the three and nine months then ended, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, which provide additional information regarding the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. To the extent that the following Management's Discussion and Analysis contains statements which are not of a historical nature, such statements are forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. These risks include, but are not limited to, general business and economic conditions, terrorism, war, the weather, changes in the competitive environment of the mountain and lodging industries, real estate development risk, and other factors discussed elsewhere herein and in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Management's Discussion and Analysis includes discussion of financial performance within each of the Company's segments. The Company has chosen to specifically address the non-GAAP measures, Reported EBITDA (defined as segment net revenues less segment operating expenses, plus or minus segment equity income or loss) and Net Debt (defined as long-term debt plus long-term debt due within one year less cash and cash equivalents), in the following discussion because management considers these measurements to be significant indications of the Company's financial performance and available capital resources. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources to its segments based on Reported EBITDA. Refer to the end of the Results of Operations section for a reconciliation of Reported EBITDA to net income. Management also believes that Net Debt is an important measurement as it is an indicator of the Company’s ability to obtain additional capital resources for its future cash needs. Refer to the end of the Results of Operations section for a reconciliation of Net Debt.

Reported EBITDA and Net Debt are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Items excluded from Reported EBITDA and Net Debt are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance or liquidity. Reported EBITDA and Net Debt should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income, cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Because Reported EBITDA and Net Debt are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, Reported EBITDA and Net Debt as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

OVERVIEW

The Company's operations are grouped into three integrated and interdependent segments: Mountain, Lodging and Real Estate. The Mountain segment is comprised of the operations of five ski resort properties and related amenities, primarily including ski school, dining and retail/rental operations. Mountain segment revenue is seasonal in nature, the majority of which is earned in the Company’s second and third fiscal quarters. Operations within the Lodging segment include ownership/management of a group of six luxury hotels through the RockResorts International, LLC (“RockResorts”) brand, including four proximate to the Company's ski resorts; the operations of Grand Teton Lodge Company (“GTLC”), which is open generally from mid-May to mid-October; the ownership/management of non-RockResorts branded hotels and condominiums proximate to the Company's ski resorts; and golf course operations, which are open generally from mid-May to mid-October. The Real Estate segment is involved with the vertical and horizontal development of property in and around the Company's resort properties.

The Company's five ski resorts opened for business for the 2006/2007 ski season in November, which fell during the Company's second fiscal quarter and ski operations concluded in April, which fell during the Company’s third fiscal quarter. Consequently, the period during which the ski resorts are open (generally November through April) is the peak operating season for the Mountain segment. The Company’s single largest source of Mountain segment revenue is the sale of lift tickets (including season passes), which represented approximately 51% of Mountain segment net revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, and approximately 46% and 45% of Mountain segment net revenue for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Lift ticket revenue is driven by volume and pricing. Pricing is impacted by both absolute pricing as well as the demographic mix of guests, which impacts the price points at which various products are purchased. The demographic mix of guests is divided into two primary categories: 1) out-of-state and international guests ("Destination") and 2) in-state and local visitors ("In-State"). For the 2006/2007 ski season, Destination guests comprised approximately 64% of the Company's skier visits, while the In-State market comprised approximately 36% of the Company's skier visits. Destination guests generally purchase the Company's higher-priced lift ticket products and utilize more ancillary services such as ski school, lodging and retail/rental. Destination guests are less likely to be impacted by changes in the weather, due to the advance planning required for their trip, but can be impacted by the economy (including the strength of the U.S. dollar) and the global geopolitical climate. In-State guests tend to be more weather-sensitive and value-oriented; to mitigate against this, the Company markets season passes to In-State guests, generally prior to the start of the ski season. For the 2006/2007 ski season, approximately 25% of the total lift revenue was generated from the sale of season passes. The cost structure of ski resort operations is largely fixed (with the exception of retail/rental, ski school and dining); as such, incremental revenue generally has high associated profit margin.

Lodging properties at or around the Company’s ski resorts represented approximately 84% and 89% of Lodging segment revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 70% and 69% of Lodging segment revenue for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and are closely aligned with the performance of the Mountain segment, particularly with respect to visitation from Destination guests. Revenue from hotel management operations under the RockResorts brand is generated through management fees based upon the revenue of the individual hotel properties within the RockResorts portfolio, and to the extent that these managed properties are not proximate to the Company’s ski resorts, they are more subject to the seasonality of those hotels and trends within the overall travel industry. Revenue of the Lodging segment during the Company's first and fourth fiscal quarters is generated primarily by the operations of GTLC (as GTLC's peak operating season occurs during the summer months), as well as golf operations and seasonally low operations from the Company's other owned and managed properties.

The Company's Real Estate segment engages in both the vertical development of projects and the sale of land to developers, which generally includes the retention of some control in the oversight and design of the projects and a contingent revenue structure based on the sale of the developed units. The Company attempts to mitigate the risk of vertical development by utilizing guaranteed maximum price construction contracts (although certain construction costs may not be covered by contractual limitations), pre-selling all or a portion of the project, requiring significant non-refundable deposits and obtaining non-recourse financing for certain projects. The Company's Real Estate development projects also may result in the creation of certain resort assets that provide additional benefit to the Resort (Mountain and Lodging) segment. The Company’s Real Estate revenue and associated expense fluctuate based upon the timing of closings and the type of real estate being sold, thus increasing the volatility of Real Estate operating results from period to period. In the near-term, the majority of Real Estate revenue is expected to be generated from vertical development projects that are currently under construction, in which revenue and related cost of sales will be recorded at the time of real estate closings.

TRENDS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Together with those factors identified in the Company's Form 10-K, the Company's management has identified the following important factors (as well as risks and uncertainties associated with such factors) that could impact the Company's future financial performance:

l
Potential ownership changes of hotels currently under RockResorts management could result in the termination of existing RockResorts management contracts, which could impact the results of operations of the Lodging segment. In March 2007, RockResorts was notified by the ownership of the Rosario Resort & Spa (“Rosario”) that the management agreement was being terminated, which will result in the Company receiving a termination fee in the fourth quarter of the year ending July 31, 2007, but loss of future management fees. RockResorts recognized $241,000 in management fees from Rosario in the year ended July 31, 2006. In February 2007, RockResorts was notified by the ownership of The Equinox that the owner intended to sell the hotel, at which time the management agreement was terminated, which resulted in the Company earning a termination fee of $2.6 million (pursuant to the terms of the management agreement), which the Company recorded as Lodging revenue in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007. RockResorts recognized $822,000 in management fees from The Equinox in the year ended July 31, 2006. In August 2006, RockResorts' management agreement for The Lodge at Rancho Mirage (“Rancho Mirage”) was terminated in conjunction with the closing of the hotel as part of a redevelopment plan by the current hotel owner, which resulted in the Company earning a termination fee of $2.4 million (pursuant to the terms of the management agreement), which the Company recorded as Lodging revenue in the nine months ended April 30, 2007. RockResorts recognized $644,000 in revenue related to the management of this property in the year ended July 31, 2006. Offsetting the impact from the loss of the above management contracts, the Company continues to pursue new management contracts, which may include, in addition to management fees, marketing license fees and technical service fees in conjunction with a project’s development and sales. For example, the Company recently announced that it will manage the Hotel Jerome in Aspen, Colorado and will operate The Chateau at Heavenly Village, currently under construction, at the base of Heavenly Ski resort. In addition, the Company also previously announced that it will manage the new Rum Cay Resort on Rum Cay Island, Bahamas, will assist in the marketing of whole and fractional ownership units within the Rum Cay Resort and provide technical advisory services in the design and construction of the resort as well as manage the new Eleven Biscayne Hotel & Spa in Miami, Florida and provide technical advisory services for this resort. These projects are currently under construction.
l
On February 28, 2007, an arbitrator rendered a decision, awarding $8.5 million in damages in favor of RockResorts and against Cheeca Holdings, LLC, the ownership entity of Cheeca Lodge & Spa, the former RockResorts managed property located in Islamorada, Florida. Additionally, in accordance with the arbitrator’s ruling, RockResorts will seek recovery of costs and attorneys’ fees in the last stage of the proceedings. Upon conclusion of that stage, the total award, which will incorporate the $8.5 million damage award and any additional cost recovery award, is final, binding and not subject to appeal. Upon completion of the cost recovery stage, RockResorts will proceed with the collection of the award and will record the actual amount received, upon receipt, in “contract dispute credit (charges), net.” The Company has incurred legal related costs of $184,000 and $4.5 million in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007, respectively, and $3.3 million for the year ended July 31, 2006 in connection with this matter which are included in “contract dispute charges” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations in the respective periods.
l
Real Estate Reported EBITDA is highly dependent on, among other things, the timing of closings on real estate under contract. Changes to the anticipated timing of closing on one or more real estate projects could materially impact Real Estate Reported EBITDA for a particular quarter or fiscal year. Additionally, the magnitude of real estate projects currently under development or contemplated could result in a significant increase in Real Estate Reported EBITDA as these projects close, expected in the year ending July 31, 2008 and beyond. The profitability and/or viability of current or proposed real estate development projects have been and could continue to be adversely affected by escalation in construction costs. Real estate development projects are also subject to a slow-down in market demand, as well as project difficulties or delays and the resulting potential negative financial impact associated with design or construction issues that may arise in the course of construction. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007, the Company has recorded $2.4 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of estimated unanticipated costs associated with construction and design issues related to its Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club (“JHG&TC”) residential development. These costs include estimates to complete remediation work and take into consideration performance requirements and recoveries of costs from other parties involved in the design and construction of the JHG&TC residential development, and as such are subject to change which could impact future operating results.
l
In recent years, the Company has shifted its Real Estate focus to vertical development (versus land development), which requires significant capital investment prior to project completion (including the construction of related Resort depreciable assets). For example, in addition to development projects currently under construction including The Arrabelle at Vail Square, Vail’s Front Door and Crystal Peak Lodge projects, the Company expects to move forward with the development of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Vail. The Company expects to incur between $545 million and $575 million of construction costs related to these projects subsequent to April 30, 2007. The Company has currently entered into non-recourse financing agreements to borrow up to $298 million for The Arrabelle at Vail Square and Vail’s Front Door and expects to enter into similar non-recourse financing agreements for The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Vail and Crystal Peak Lodge development projects.

The data provided in this section should be read in conjunction with the risk factors identified elsewhere in this document and within the Company's Form 10-K.

Net income for the three months ended April 30, 2007 increased by $10.2 million, compared to the three months ended April 30, 2006, which is primarily attributable to an increase in Resort Reported EBITDA of $14.8 million, a $3.6 million decrease in relocation and separation charges, a $1.2 million increase in investment income and a $0.8 million decrease in interest expense, net, which were partially offset by a $6.5 million increase in provision for income taxes and a decrease in Real Estate Reported EBITDA of $3.9 million.

Net income for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 increased by $18.7 million, compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2006, which is primarily attributable to an increase in Resort Reported EBITDA of $32.9 million, a $3.4 million increase in investment income, a $2.9 million decrease in interest expense, net, a $2.4 million decrease in relocation and separation charges and an increase in Real Estate Reported EBITDA of $2.0 million , which were partially offset by a $12.0 million increase in provision for income taxes, a $4.6 million prior year gain on sale of businesses, net, a $3.6 million increase in contract dispute charges, a $3.6 million increase in depreciation and amortization, a $1.0 million increase in minority interest in income of consolidated subsidiaries, net and a $0.9 million prior year mold remediation credit.

Presented below is more detailed comparative data and discussion regarding the Company's results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 compared to the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006.

Total Mountain Reported EBITDA includes $3.1 million and $2.7 million of stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Lift revenue increased 5.9% during the three months ended April 30, 2007, and increased 9.1% during the nine months ended April 30, 2007, which comprised the entire ski season. These increases were due to the significant increase in ETP and higher season pass revenue, partially offset by a decrease in visitation. Overall, ETP was positively impacted by an increase in absolute pricing of the Company’s individual lift ticket and pass products as well as an increase in the mix of Destination guest visitation (who generally purchase higher priced tickets). Destination guest visitation increased to 64% of total visitation compared to 60% in the prior year and increased on an absolute basis. Season pass revenues were up 17.7% in total, due to a combination of more passes sold and the higher pass prices. Season pass revenue was recorded throughout the season, thus favorably impacting lift revenue and ETP for both the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007. Total visitation at the Company's five resorts decreased 3.1% for the three months ended April 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year, with the Company’s Colorado resorts’ visitation remaining relatively flat, and the Company’s Heavenly resort visitation decreasing by 16.3%. Total visitation at the Company's five resorts for the entire 2006/2007 ski season decreased 1.1% compared to the prior season, with the Company’s Colorado resorts’ visitation increasing 1.0%, and the Company’s Heavenly resort visitation decreasing 12.0%. The decline in visitation at the Company’s Heavenly resort is primarily attributable to significantly unfavorable weather conditions throughout the ski season. Additionally, in-state Colorado visitation, including visitation by season pass holders, was negatively impacted by adverse weather conditions in the Denver metropolitan area.

Revenues from the Company’s ancillary Mountain businesses also increased for the three and nine months consistent with the lift revenue increases. Revenue from ski school improved due to an increase in absolute pricing and higher participation as a result of increased Destination guest visitation. Dining revenue grew commensurate with price increases, partially offset by a slight decrease in total visitation. Retail/rental experienced 7.2% revenue growth for the nine months ended April 30, 2007; however, the increase for the three months ended April 30, 2007 increased only 0.6%, partially due to adverse weather conditions, especially at the Company’s Heavenly resort.

Segment expense increased 2.4% and 5.4% during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year. Excluding retail/rental expense, which fluctuates more with sales volume, expense increased 2.6% and 4.7% during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007, respectively, primarily attributable to higher variable costs related to the higher revenue, including USDA Forest Service (“Forest Service”) fees, credit card fees and other fees associated with revenue; and certain labor related costs, including higher ski school labor to support the higher ski school revenue.

Total Lodging Reported EBITDA includes $859,000 and $983,000 of stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In January 2006, the Company sold the assets constituting Snake River Lodge & Spa (“SRL&S”). For the nine months ended April 30, 2006, Lodging Reported EBITDA includes revenue of $5.2 million and operating expense of $4.4 million related to SRL&S. Commencing with the sale of the assets constituting SRL&S, the Company is earning base management fees, which were $324,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 2007.

Excluding the impact of the sale of SRL&S, Lodging revenues increased $8.8 million, or 8.1%, for the nine months ended April 30, 2007, compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2006. The revenue increases for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 were partially due to the recognition of a $2.6 million termination fee associated with the termination of the management agreement at The Equinox (pursuant to the terms of the management agreement) with the sale of the hotel by the current hotel owner, and revenue for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 further includes the recognition of a $2.4 million termination fee associated with the termination of the management agreement at Rancho Mirage (pursuant to the terms of the management agreement) with the closing of the hotel as part of a redevelopment plan by the current hotel owner. ADR and RevPAR, which do not include the impact of the termination fees and excluding the impact of the SRL&S sale, increased 8.3% and 10.7% for the nine months ended April 30, 2007, respectively, compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2006. The increase in ADR and RevPAR for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 was primarily driven by the Lodging properties proximate to the Company’s ski resorts and was due to increased pricing as well as the higher Destination guest visitation as described in the Mountain segment discussion. The overall Lodging revenue increases during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 were partially impacted by fewer available rooms, primarily as a result of construction at The Lodge at Vail and a reduction in managed condominium units.

Lodging expense for the three months ended April 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2006, increased by only 2.0% despite the higher revenues. Excluding the impact of the sale of SRL&S, expense increased $1.5 million, or 1.6%, for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2006. These increases are commensurate with normal increases in operating costs, partially offset by fewer available rooms as discussed above.

Real Estate Reported EBITDA includes $1.6 million and $1.1 million of stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Certain reclassifications have been made within Real Estate segment operating results for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006 to conform to current period presentation.

The Company's Real Estate operating revenue is primarily determined by the timing of closings and the mix of real estate sold in any given period. Different types of projects have different revenue and expense volumes and margins; therefore, as the real estate inventory mix changes it can greatly impact Real Estate segment operating revenue and operating expense, and, to a lesser degree, Real Estate Reported EBITDA. The above single family and multi-family unit sales primarily represent the Company’s vertical development projects.

Real Estate segment operating revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2007 was driven primarily by the closings of certain JHG&TC cabins and the sale of the sole asset in the FFT Investment Partners real estate joint venture. In addition, the nine months ended April 30, 2007 includes the closings of Mountain Thunder and Gore Creek Place developments, additional JHG&TC cabins and the sale of parcels in Red Sky Ranch and Breckenridge to third-party developers. Operating expense for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 included cost of sales commensurate with revenue recognized, as well as overhead costs such as labor and benefits and professional services fees. In addition, the Company recorded $2.4 million and $6.6 million, net of estimated recoveries from contractors, in estimated unanticipated incremental costs during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007, respectively, for previously built and yet to be completed JHG&TC cabins that have design and construction issues. Furthermore, for the three months ended April 30, 2007, the additional costs recorded for the JHG&TC cabins was primarily attributable to a change in estimates related to remediation cost sharing between the Company and contractors involved in the construction of the JHG&TC cabins. The Company is currently in the process of resolving these issues along with the contractors involved in the design and construction of the JHG&TC residential development and expects to complete remediation efforts by the second quarter of the year ending July 31, 2008. The Company recorded $1.1 million, net of estimated recoveries from contractors, in estimated unanticipated incremental costs during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006, for previously built and yet to be completed JHG&TC cabins. In addition, for the three months ended April 30, 2007, the Company wrote off approximately $1.1 million of certain real estate development planning costs for a project that was abandoned in favor of a Resort-related project. Real Estate segment operating revenue and Reported EBITDA in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006 were primarily generated from a land exchange with the Forest Service, contingent gains on development parcel sales that closed in prior periods and the sale of parcels in JHG&TC. Operating expense included cost of sales commensurate with revenue recognized, as well as overhead costs such as labor and benefits, marketing costs, professional services fees and allocated corporate costs.

Other Items

In addition to segment operating results, the following material items contributed to the Company's overall financial position.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 increased primarily as a result of an increase in the fixed asset base due to normal capital expenditures and an increase in accelerated depreciation and amortization for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 of approximately $545,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, for assets which were retired in advance of their previously estimated useful lives and accelerated amortization associated with certain intangible assets related to terminated management agreements. The average annualized depreciation rate for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 was 7.6%, as compared to an average annualized depreciation rate for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006 of 7.7% and 7.4%, respectively.

Relocation and separation charges. In February 2006, the Company announced a plan to relocate its corporate headquarters, and the plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in April 2006. The Company recorded $166,000 and $1.4 million of relocation charges in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007, respectively. The Company recorded $1.1 million of relocation charges in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006. The Company anticipates it will record less than $100,000 in additional relocation charges in the remainder of the year ending July 31, 2007. In addition, in February 2006, Adam Aron, the former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, resigned. In connection with Mr. Aron’s resignation, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Aron, whereby the Company recorded $2.7 million of separation related expenses during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006.

Mold remediation credit. During the prior year’s three and nine months ended April 30, 2006, Breckenridge Terrace, LLC received reimbursement from third parties for costs incurred in conjunction with its mold remediation efforts in the amount of $852,000, which has been recognized by the Company as reduction of the remediation expense that was recognized in previous periods (see Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, for more information regarding this item).

Investment income. The Company invests excess cash in short-term investments, as permitted under the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) underlying the Company’s credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) and the Indenture, dated as of January 29, 2004 among the Company, the guarantors therein and the Bank of New York, as Trustee (“Indenture”), governing the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (“6.75% Notes”). The increase in investment income for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 compared to the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006 is due to significant increases in average invested cash balances during the periods resulting primarily from increased cash flows from operations.

Interest expense, net. The Company’s primary sources of interest expense are the 6.75% Notes, the Credit Facility, incorporating unused commitment fees and letter of credit fees related to the $300 million Credit Facility Revolver thereunder, the SSV credit facility, the outstanding $57.7 million of industrial development bonds (collectively, the “Industrial Development Bonds”) and the series of bonds issued to finance the construction of employee housing facilities (the “Employee Housing Bonds”). Interest expense, net decreased $810,000 and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006 due primarily to an increase of capitalized interest associated with the significant ongoing Real Estate and related Resort development.

(Loss) gain on sale of businesses, net. The Company recorded a net loss of $601,000 in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 on the sale of its investment in RTP. The Company recorded a $4.7 million prior year gain in the nine months ended April 30, 2006 associated with the sale of the assets constituting SRL&S. Additionally, the Company recorded an $82,000 loss in the nine months ended April 30, 2006 associated with the sale of the Company's interest in Bachelor Gulch Resort, LLC (see Note 8, Sale of Businesses, of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, for more information regarding these sales of businesses).

Contract dispute charges. In March 2006, RockResorts was notified by the ownership of Cheeca Lodge & Spa, formerly a RockResorts managed property, that its management agreement was being terminated effective immediately. RockResorts believed that the termination was in violation of the management agreement and pursued its legal rights. The Company has incurred $184,000 and $4.5 million of legal related costs related to this matter in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007, respectively. The Company recorded $816,000 of contract dispute charges in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006. In February 2007, the arbitrator in the Cheeca matter rendered a decision in favor of the Company, awarding $8.5 million in damages to RockResorts. The arbitrator found that the ownership group had wrongfully terminated the management contract and that RockResorts had not breached the contract. The Company will record the total arbitration award, upon receipt, in “contract dispute credit (charges), net” (see Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, for more information regarding this item).

Gain (loss) on put option, net. The value of put options fluctuates based on the estimated fair market value of the put options as of the end of each period. The net gain for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 was related to the elimination of the put option liability (including the write-off of the associated put option intangible asset) as a result of the sale of the Company’s investment in RTP in April 2007. The net loss in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006 was related to the increase in the estimated fair market value of the liability associated with the RTP put option (see Note 9, Put and Call Options, of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, for more information regarding the Company's put options).

Income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 was 39.0%. The interim period effective tax rate for the current and prior year is primarily driven by the anticipated pre-tax book income for the full fiscal year and an estimate of the amount of non-deductible items for tax purposes.

The Internal Revenue Service has completed its exam of the Company’s tax returns for tax years 2001 through 2003 and has issued a report of its findings. The examiner’s primary finding is the disallowance of the Company’s position to remove the restrictions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of approximately $73.8 million of net operating losses (“NOLs”). These restricted NOLs relate to fresh start accounting from the Company’s reorganization in 1992. The Company has appealed the examiner’s disallowance of these NOLs to the Office of the Appeals. If the Company is unsuccessful in its appeals process, it will not negatively impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Significant Sources of Cash

The Company's second and third fiscal quarters are seasonally high for cash on hand as the Company's ski resorts are generally open for ski operations from mid-November to mid-April, from which the Company has historically generated a significant portion of its operating cash flows for the year. Additionally, cash provided by operating activities can be impacted by the timing of closings on real estate development projects that may or may not occur in any given period. In total, the Company generated $124.6 million of cash in the nine months ended April 30, 2007 which represents an increase of $21.1 million in cash generated compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2006. Cash provided by operating activities improved $107.7 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2006 and was primarily attributable to a $67.6 million increase in Real Estate Reported EBITDA adjusted for non-cash cost of real estate sold (cash expenditures made in previous periods related to the cost of sales recorded in the nine months ended April 30, 2007) primarily as a result of closings on certain development projects including Gore Creek Townhomes and the second phase of the Mountain Thunder Townhomes in Breckenridge and a $32.9 million increase in Resort Reported EBITDA (the combination of Mountain Reported EBITDA and Lodging Reported EBITDA). Cash used in investing activities increased by $81.8 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 due to increased capital expenditures of $18.3 million, increased investments in real estate of $32.7 million, primarily due to expanded vertical real estate development projects (including Resort depreciable assets), and the purchase of an additional interest in SSI Venture, LLC. Additionally, cash proceeds of $30.7 million were received in the prior year nine months ended April 30, 2006 from the sale of SRL&S. Cash provided by financing activities was consistent with the prior period; however, cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options decreased by $42.7 million (including tax benefits) for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2006. Additionally, the Company repurchased $15.0 million of its common stock during the nine months ended April 30, 2007. The Company had an increase in non-recourse borrowing proceeds of $46.8 million, which was used to fund a portion of its investment in real estate.

In addition to the Company’s $316.4 million of cash and cash equivalents at April 30, 2007, the Company has available $227.3 million under its Credit Facility (which represents the total commitment of $300 million less certain letters of credit outstanding of $72.7 million). As of April 30, 2007 and 2006, total long-term debt (including long-term debt due within one year) was $575.6 million and $521.3 million, respectively, with the increase related to non-recourse financing related to the Company’s vertical real estate projects. Net Debt (defined as long-term debt plus long-term debt due within one year less cash and cash equivalents) declined from $281.2 million as of April 30, 2006 to $259.1 million as of April 30, 2007. This reduction in Net Debt places the Company in a position to better take advantage of potential strategic options as further discussed below, as the Company has significant cash on hand and no revolver borrowings under its Credit Facility.

The Company expects that its liquidity needs in the near term will be met by continued utilization of operating cash flows and through borrowings under construction loan agreements entered into by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Arrabelle at Vail Square, LLC and The Chalets at The Lodge at Vail, LLC. The Company also expects to enter into non-recourse financings on certain other real estate projects.

The Company is currently evaluating how to use its excess cash, including a combination of the following strategic options: increase real estate investment for further development, increase Resort capital expenditures, pursue strategic acquisitions, payoff outstanding debt and/or return value to shareholders, including the repurchase of additional stock of the Company. The Company’s debt generally has favorable fixed interest rates and is long-term in nature. The Company’s Credit Facility and the Indenture limit the Company’s ability to make investments or distributions, including the payment of dividends and/or the repurchase of the Company’s common stock, and the pay off of certain of its debt, including its 6.75% Notes.

Significant Uses of Cash

The Company’s cash needs typically include providing for operating expenditures, debt service requirements and capital expenditures for both assets to be used in operations and real estate development projects. In addition, the Company expects it will incur significant cash income tax payments (generally expected to approximate its statutory income tax rate) in the near future due to the improved operating results, the limitations on the usage of NOLs generated in prior periods and a decline in tax benefits resulting from stock option exercises. Historically, the Company has not been a significant cash income tax payer.

The Company expects to spend approximately $325 million to $345 million in calendar year 2007 for real estate development projects, including the construction of associated Resort-related depreciable assets. The Company has entered into contracts with third parties to provide construction-related services to the Company throughout the course of construction for these projects; commitments for future services to be performed over the next several years under such current contracts total approximately $170 million. The primary projects are expected to include continued construction and development costs, as well as planning and infrastructure costs associated with planned development projects in and around each of the Company’s resorts. Of the calendar 2007 estimate, the Company expects to incur approximately $95 million to $105 million for real estate development projects (including associated Resort-related depreciable assets) during the remainder of fiscal 2007. The Company expects real estate capital expenditures will be higher than historical levels for the foreseeable future as the Company continues its vertical development efforts. As noted above, the Company obtained non-recourse financing to fund construction of The Arrabelle at Vail Square and The Lodge at Vail Chalets projects. The Company expects to utilize similar financing arrangements for certain other development projects. In addition to utilizing project-specific financing, the Company also pre-sells units requiring deposits in a proposed development prior to committing to the completion of the development, thereby helping to ensure sales commitments exist and sufficient funds are available to complete the project.

The Company has historically invested significant cash in capital expenditures for its Resort operations, and expects to continue to invest significant cash in the future. The Company evaluates additional capital improvements based on expected strategic impacts and/or expected return on investment. The Company currently anticipates it will spend $90 million to $95 million of Resort capital expenditures for calendar 2007 excluding expenditures for Resort depreciable assets in conjunction with real estate activities noted above. Included in these annual capital expenditures are approximately $38 million to $40 million which are necessary to maintain the appearance and level of service appropriate to the Company’s Resort operations. This overall Resort capital investment will allow the Company to maintain its high quality standards and make incremental discretionary improvements at the Company’s five ski resorts and throughout its hotels. Highlights of the proposed discretionary expenditures include a new Beaver Creek children’s ski school gondola and a related ski school building at the top of the new gondola; replacement and realignment of two chairlifts with high-speed chairlifts at Vail; a new high-speed chairlift at Heavenly; an expanded spa at The Keystone Lodge; and upgrades to the Company’s central reservations, marketing database and e-commerce booking systems, among other projects. Of the calendar 2007 estimate, the Company expects to incur approximately $20 million to $30 million in capital expenditures for Resort operations during the remainder of fiscal 2007. The Company currently plans to utilize cash flow from operations and cash on hand to provide the cash necessary to execute its capital plan.

Principal payments on the vast majority of the Company's long-term debt ($489.6 million of the total $575.6 million debt outstanding as of April 30, 2007) are not due until fiscal 2012 and beyond.

The Company's debt service requirements can be impacted by changing interest rates as the Company had $120.9 million of variable-rate debt outstanding as of April 30, 2007. A 100-basis point change in LIBOR would cause the Company's annual interest payments to change by approximately $1.2 million. The fluctuation in the Company's debt service requirements, in addition to interest rate changes, may be impacted by future borrowings under its Credit Facility or other alternative financing arrangements it may enter into. The Company's long term liquidity needs are dependent upon operating results which impact the borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, which can be mitigated by adjustments to capital expenditures, flexibility of investment activities and the ability to obtain favorable future financing. The Company manages changes in the business and economic environment by managing its capital expenditures and real estate development activities.

On March 9, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. During the nine months ended April 30, 2007, the Company repurchased 358,400 shares of common stock at a cost of $15.0 million. The Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the three months ended April 30, 2007. Since inception of this stock repurchase plan, the Company has repurchased 673,500 shares at a cost of approximately $25.8 million. As of April 30, 2007, 2,326,500 shares remained available to repurchase under the existing repurchase authorization. Shares of common stock purchased pursuant to the repurchase program will be held as treasury shares and may be used for the issuance of shares under the Company's employee stock based compensation plans. Acquisitions under the share repurchase program will be made from time to time at prevailing prices as permitted by applicable laws, and subject to market conditions and other factors. The timing as well as the number of shares that may be repurchased under the program will depend on a number of factors including the Company's future financial performance, the Company's available cash resources and competing uses for cash that may arise in the future, the restrictions in the Credit Facility and in the Indenture, prevailing prices of the Company's common stock and the number of shares that become available for sale at prices that the Company believes are attractive. The stock repurchase program may be discontinued at any time and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's capitalization.

Covenants and Limitations

The Company must abide by certain restrictive financial covenants in relation to its Credit Facility and the Indenture. The most restrictive of those covenants include the following Credit Facility covenants: Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, Minimum Net Worth and the Interest Coverage ratio (each as defined in the Credit Agreement).  In addition, the Company’s financing arrangements, including the Indenture, limit its ability to incur certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments, enter into certain investments, make certain affiliate transfers and may limit its ability to enter into certain mergers, consolidations or sales of assets. The Company’s borrowing availability under the Credit Facility is primarily determined by the Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, which is based on the Company’s segment operating performance, as defined in the Credit Agreement.

The Company was in compliance with all relevant covenants in its debt instruments as of April 30, 2007. The Company expects it will meet all applicable financial maintenance covenants in its Credit Agreement, including the Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio throughout the year ending July 31, 2007. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet such financial covenants. If such covenants are not met, the Company would be required to seek a waiver or amendment from the banks participating in the Credit Facility. While the Company anticipates that it would obtain such waiver or amendment, if any were necessary, there can be no assurance that such waiver or amendment would be granted, which could have a material adverse impact on the liquidity of the Company.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not have off balance sheet transactions that are expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Readers are also referred to the risk factors identified in the Company’s Form 10-K.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Interest Rate Risk. The Company's exposure to market risk is limited primarily to the fluctuating interest rates associated with variable rate indebtedness. At April 30, 2007, the Company had $120.9 million of variable rate indebtedness, representing 21.0% of the Company's total debt outstanding, at an average interest rate during the three months ended April 30, 2007 of 6.2%. Based on variable-rate borrowings outstanding as of April 30, 2007,
a 100-basis point (or 1.0%) change in LIBOR would have caused the Company's annual interest payments to change by $1.2 million. The Company's market risk exposure fluctuates based on changes in underlying interest rates.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management of the Company, under the supervision and with participation of the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q.

Based upon their evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, the CEO and the CFO concluded that the disclosure controls are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms.

The Company, including its CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company's internal controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibit 10.2

LIMITED WAIVER, RELEASE, AND THIRD AMENDMENT TO
FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS LIMITED WAIVER, RELEASE, AND THIRD AMENDMENT TO FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Limited Waiver, Release, and Amendment”) is dated as of March 13, 2007, but effective as of the Effective Date (hereinafter defined), among THE VAIL CORPORATION, a Colorado corporation doing business as “Vail Associates, Inc.” (the “Company”), the Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement referenced below) party hereto, and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent (hereinafter defined).

R E C I T A L S

A. The Company has entered into that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 28, 2005, with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and certain other agents and lenders party thereto, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 29, 2005, and that certain Second Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 17, 2006 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), providing for revolving credit loans, letters of credit, and swing line loans in the aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000,000. Unless otherwise indicated herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement, and all Section references herein shall be references to sections in the Credit Agreement.

B. The Company has notified the Administrative Agent of the formation of the following new Unrestricted Subsidiaries: Colter Bay Convenience Store, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, Colter Bay General Store, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, Colter Bay Marina, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, Colter Bay Cafe Court, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, Jenny Lake Store, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club Snack Bar, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, Stampede Canteen, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, Crystal Peak Lodge of Breckenridge, Inc., a Colorado corporation, and Hunkidori Land Company, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (collectively, the “New Unrestricted Subsidiaries”). The Company did not deliver to the Administrative Agent an updated Schedule 8.2 to the Credit Agreement within thirty (30) days after the formation of the New Unrestricted Subsidiaries, as required by Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement, and has requested that the Lenders waive any Default or Potential Default resulting from such failure.

C. The Company has also notified the Administrative Agent that the Company intends to transfer 100% of the capital stock (the “Pledged CTI Securities”) of Complete Telecommunications, Inc. (“CTI”) as part of the Company’s disposition of its equity interest in RTP, LLC, an Unrestricted Subsidiary. In connection therewith, the Company has requested that the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, release its liens on the Pledged CTI Securities and release CTI from its obligations under the Guaranty executed by CTI.

D. The Company has also requested that the Lenders amend the Credit Agreement to, among other things, decrease the Total Commitment to $300,000,000, modify the interest rates, and extend the Termination Date to February 1, 2012.

(b) The Administrative Agent agrees to execute and deliver UCC financing statement terminations and all further documents reasonably requested by the Company in order to effectuate the releases contemplated hereby.

(c) It is expressly agreed and understood that, except as set forth herein, this Limited Waiver, Release, and Amendment shall in no manner release, affect or impair the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights, titles, interests, and Liens against the Restricted Companies’ interests, properties or assets.

3. Amendments.

(vi) The definition of “SSI” is amended by removing the words “of Borrower” at the end thereof.

(c) Modification of Accordion Provision. Section 2.5 (Increase in Total Commitment) is amended to modify the maximum Total Commitment to which the facility may be increased by replacing the reference to “$500,000,000” therein with “$400,000,000”.

(ii) Clause (iv) is amended to modify the threshold for delivery of documentation related to permitted acquisitions by replacing the reference to “$25,000,000” therein with “50,000,000”.

(f) Modifications of Financial Covenants. Section 11 (Financial Covenants) is amended as follows:

(i) Section 11.1 (Maximum Leverage Ratios) is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

ANNEX A

Applicable Margin means, for any day, the margin of interest over the Base Rate or LIBOR, as the case may be, that is applicable when any interest rate is determined under this Agreement.

1.00%

Prior to Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Companies’ consolidated Financial Statements for the Companies’ fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2007, the ratio of Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA shall be fixed at Level III. Thereafter, the ratio of Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA shall be calculated on a consolidated basis for the Companies in accordance with GAAP for the most recently completed fiscal quarter of the Companies for which results are available. The ratio shall be determined from the Current Financials and any related Compliance Certificate and any change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a change in such ratio shall be effective as of the date of delivery of such Compliance Certificate. However, if Borrower fails to furnish to Administrative Agent the Current Financials and any related Compliance Certificate when required pursuant to Section 9.1, then the ratio shall be deemed to be at Level VII until Borrower furnishes the required Current Financials and any related Compliance Certificate to Administrative Agent. Furthermore, if the Companies’ audited Financial Statements delivered to Administrative Agent for any fiscal year pursuant to Section 9.1(a) result in a different ratio, such revised ratio (whether higher or lower) shall govern effective as of the date of such delivery. For purposes of determining such ratio, Adjusted EBITDA for any fiscal quarter shall include on a pro forma basis all EBITDA of the Restricted Companies for such period relating to assets acquired in accordance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, Restricted Subsidiaries formed or acquired in accordance with Section 9.10 hereof, and Unrestricted Subsidiaries re-designated as Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with Section 9.11(b) hereof) during such period, but shall exclude on a pro forma basis all EBITDA of the Restricted Companies for such period relating to any such assets disposed of in accordance with this Agreement during such period (including, without limitation, Restricted Subsidiaries re-designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with Section 9.11(a) hereof).
 

ANNEX B

Applicable Percentage means, for any day, the commitment fee percentage applicable under Section 5.4 when commitment fees are determined under this Agreement. The Applicable Percentage is subject to adjustment (upwards or downwards, as appropriate) based on the ratio of Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, as follows:
 
 
Ratio of Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
Applicable Percentage
I
Less than 1.50 to 1.00
0.100%
II
Greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00, but less than 2.00 to 1.00
0.125%
III
Greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00, but less than 2.50 to 1.00
0.150%
IV
Greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, but less than 3.00 to 1.00
0.200%
V
Greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00, but less than 3.50 to 1.00
0.250%
VI
Greater than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00, but less than 4.00 to 1.00
0.250%
VII
Greater than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00
0.375%

 
Prior to Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Companies’ consolidated Financial Statements for the Companies’ fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2007, the ratio of Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA (which shall be determined as described in the definition of “Applicable Margin”) shall be fixed at Level III.

If Borrower fails to select the duration of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan within the time period (i.e., three (3) Business Days prior to the first day of the next applicable Interest Period) and otherwise as provided in this Section 2.2(a), such Loan (if outstanding as a LIBOR Rate Loan) will be automatically Continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan (based on LIBOR determined two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the next Interest Period).

. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on such date, but no Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan required to be made by such other Lender. The amounts payable by Borrower at any time hereunder and under the Note to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt.
 
2.6  Notes
. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by its Note. No Lender shall be entitled to have its Note substituted or exchanged for any reason, or subdivided for promissory notes of lesser denominations. In the event of the loss, theft or destruction of any Note, upon Borrower's receipt of a reasonably satisfactory indemnification agreement executed in favor of Borrower by the holder of such Note, or in the event of the mutilation of any Note, upon the surrender of such mutilated Note by the holder thereof to Borrower, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such holder a replacement Note in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note. The Notes shall not be necessary to establish the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders on account of advances made under this Agreement.
 
2.7  Conversion and Continuations of Loans.
 
(a)  Subject to Section 2.2(j), Borrower shall have the right to Convert Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type or Continue Loans of one Type as Loans of the same Type at any time or from time to time until one (1) month preceding the Maturity Date; provided that: (i) Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of each such Conversion or Continuation as provided in Section 2.2(a) above, (ii) LIBOR Rate Loans may be prepaid or Converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans unless Borrower complies with the terms of Section 5.5, (iii) subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.3, any Conversion or Continuation of Loans shall be pro rata among the Lenders, (iv) each Interest Period that commences on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on any day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the appropriate subsequent calendar month) shall end on the last Business Day of the appropriate subsequent calendar month; (v) each Interest Period that would otherwise end on a day that is not a Business Day shall end on the next succeeding Business Day (or, if such next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, on the immediately preceding Business Day); (vi) no Interest Period shall have a duration of less than one (1) month; (vii) in no event shall any Interest Period extend beyond the Maturity Date; and (viii) there may be no more than 5 separate Interest Periods in respect of LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding from each Lender at any one time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Article XII, in the event that any Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent may (and at the request of the Required Lenders shall) suspend the right of Borrower to Convert any Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan or Continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan for so long as such Event of Default remains outstanding, in which event all Loans shall be converted (on the last day(s) of the respective Interest Periods therefor) or Continued, as the case may be, as Base Rate Loans.
 
(b)  Notwithstanding Section 2.7(a) above, (i) Borrower shall not be entitled to select a LIBOR Period that does not end on or before the Maturity Date; (ii) on each date for determination of LIBOR, the Administrative Agent shall determine the applicable LIBOR-Based Rate (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) and shall promptly give notice of the same to Borrower and Lender by telephone, telecopier or electronic mail; and (iii) during the existence of an Event of Default, Borrower may not elect a LIBOR-Based Rate. Lender shall be deemed to have funded its Loans that bear interest at the LIBOR-Based Rate from LIBOR deposits obtained by Lender, regardless of whether Lender has funded such LIBOR-Based Loan from another source.
 

 
ARTICLE III  
 

 
PAYMENTS OF INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL
 
3.1  Interest.
 
(a)  Borrower hereby promises to pay to Administrative Agent for account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the Applicable Interest Rate.
 
(b)  Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable, in arrears, monthly on each Payment Date subject to Section 7.5(b); provided that (i) in the case of payment or prepayment of all or a portion of a Loan, interest accrued thereon shall be payable at the time of such payment or prepayment and (ii) interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. Subject to the provisions of Article VI and Article VII, such accrued interest shall be payable from the Interest Reserves established pursuant to the Project Budget; provided, however, that the allocation of Loan funds to the Interest Reserve shall not limit Borrower's obligation to pay such accrued interest.
 
(c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the Maturity Date and during any period when an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the Default Rate on (i) the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, (ii) any interest payments thereon not paid when due, and (iii) on any other amount payable by Borrower hereunder, under the Notes and any other Loan Documents.
 
(d)  Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to Borrower, but the failure of Administrative Agent to provide such notice shall not affect Borrower's obligation for the payment of interest on the Loans.
 
3.2  Repayment of Loans
. Borrower hereby promises to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the principal of such Lender's outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, on the Maturity Date.
 
3.3  Late Charge
. In addition to any sums due under Section 3.1(c), if Borrower fails to pay any installment of interest as provided in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 above, except the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, within ten (10) days after the date on which the same is due, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent a late charge on such past-due amount, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to five percent (5.0%) of such amount (a "Late Charge"). In connection therewith, Borrower agrees as follows: (a) because of such late payment, Administrative Agent and Lender will incur certain costs and expenses including, without limitation, administrative costs, collection costs, loss of interest, and other direct and indirect costs in an uncertain amount; (b) it would be impractical or extremely difficult to fix the exact amount of such costs in such event; and (c) the Default Rate and the late charge are reasonable and good faith estimates of such costs. The application of the Default Rate or the assessment of a late charge to any such late payment as described in this Section 3.3 will not be interpreted or deemed to extend the period for payment or otherwise limit any of Administrative Agent's or Lender's remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
 
3.4  Optional Prepayments
. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.6 and 5.5, Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided that: (a) Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of each such prepayment as provided in Section 2.2(a) (and, upon the date specified in any such notice of prepayment, the amount to be prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder) and (b) except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.2(k), partial prepayments shall be in the minimum aggregate principal amount of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), and in whole multiples of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) above such amount. Loans that are prepaid cannot be reborrowed.
 
3.5  Mandatory Prepayments.
 
(a)  Casualties; Condemnations. If a Casualty or Condemnation shall occur with respect to the Project, Borrower, upon Borrower's or Administrative Agent's receipt of the applicable Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Award, shall prepay the Loan, if required by the provisions of Article XI, on the dates and in the amounts specified therein without premium (but subject to the provisions of Section 5.5). Nothing in this Section 3.5(a) shall be deemed to limit any obligation of Borrower under the Security Instrument or any other Security Document, including any obligation to remit to a collateral or similar account maintained by Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Instrument or any of the other Security Documents the proceeds of insurance, condemnation award or other compensation received in respect of any Casualty or Condemnation.
 
(b)  Partial Release or Release of Security Instrument. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right from time to time to obtain releases of: (1) individual Units and Unit Specific Personal Property with respect to the Residential Component, (2) the Club Component, the Club Component Personal Property, and the Shared Parking Garage Component, and (3) the Spa Project (provided, however, if the Spa Project is a separate legal parcel as contemplated by the Subdivision Agreement, the Spa Project may be released subject to the following conditions even if an Event of Default exists), from the lien of the Security Instrument following prepayment of the Loan as follows:
 
(i)  Borrower shall provide written notice to Administrative Agent of the date such prepayment and/or release is intended to be made at least ten (10) days in advance thereof provided that such notice shall be revocable and the date of such prepayment and/or release shall be subject to adjustment upon such notice to Administrative Agent as shall be reasonably possible;
 
(ii)  the subdivision plat, including the subdivision plat contemplated by the Subdivision Agreement, condominium map, owners' association and related documents for the Project shall have been approved by all applicable Governmental Authorities, Administrative Agent (to the extent required at the time of release) and the title insurance company that agrees to issue owner's title insurance policies to purchasers of the Units and all such referenced documents, where appropriate, shall be recorded in the Official Records;
 
(iii)  Borrower (1) shall have delivered a notice to Administrative Agent specifying (A) the legal description of the Unit or portion of the Project to be released, and (B) the Release Price, if applicable, and each notice shall be accompanied by a proper instrument of release, (2) shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent any other documents or instruments reasonably required by Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, an amendment to the Security Instrument with respect to a revised legal description for the Project, and (3) prior to the closing of the Unit, if applicable, shall have delivered to Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent shall have approved a settlement statement for such Unit;
 
(iv)  Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent the Release Price for the Unit being released; provided, however, there is no applicable Release Price for the Spa Project and no amount is required to be paid to release the Spa Project;
 
(v)  Administrative Agent shall have received such endorsements to the Title Policy as it deems appropriate and has confirmed that the Title Policy remains in full force and effect with respect to that portion of the Project not released;
 
(vi)  after any release, the portion of the Project and the personal property Collateral not released shall continue to be subject to the Security Instrument;
 
(vii)  Borrower shall pay Administrative Agent's reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with each such release including, but not limited to, any Breakage Fees required pursuant to Section 5.5;
 
(viii)  Borrower shall have provided evidence to Administrative Agent that any bond assessment that constitutes a lien against the property has been properly allocated between the Unit(s) to be released and the portion of the Project not released; provided, however, an allocation shall be deemed proper if the allocation is in accordance with the assessed value;
 
Furthermore, with respect to a request for a release of the Club Component and Shared Parking Garage Component (it being intended that the Shared Parking Garage shall be released contemporaneously with the Club Component), and for a release of the Spa Project, in addition to the requirements in Sections 3.5(b)(i) though 3.5(b)(viii) above, Borrower shall:
 
(ix)  Provide evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that:
 
(1)  The portion of the Project to be released and the portion of the Project that would remain encumbered by the Deed of Trust are each legal parcels lawfully created and are in compliance with all subdivision laws and ordinances; and
 
(2)  The remaining portions of the Project after the proposed release have the benefit of all utilities, easements, public or private streets, covenants, conditions or restrictions as may be necessary for the continued use and operation thereof for their respective intended purposes, including without limitation all ingress and egress rights and parking rights that may be necessary or intended in the Shared Parking Garage Component upon its release, and if, but only if the Spa Project has been completed, but not otherwise, all necessary or intended use rights pursuant to a license agreement between Borrower and Lodge Properties, Inc., in the Spa Project upon its release.
 
(c)  Unit Sales Exception. Notwithstanding Section 3.5(b) above, Administrative Agent shall, to accommodate the sale of Units and the release of individual Units from the Lien of the Security Instrument, upon Borrower's request, deliver to the Title Company executed copies of the release documents necessary for the separate release of the Lien of the Security Document as to each Unit, with such release documents to be held in escrow, pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Borrower, pending the sale of such Units and the receipt by the Title Company of the Release Price for such Unit, provided that Borrower has delivered to Administrative Agent the notices required by Section 3.5(b) and Administrative Agent has not delivered any objection to the release of such Unit to the Title Company prior to the earliest date set forth for the release of such Unit in the notice of prepayment delivered by Borrower.
 
(d)  Club Membership Deposits. Promptly upon receipt of a Club Membership Deposit, Borrower shall deposit the Club Membership Deposit into the Club Membership Deposit Account or provide a Deposit Letter of Credit in lieu thereof. Upon release of the Club Component, all Club Membership Deposits on deposit in the Club Membership Deposit Account shall be released and applied by the Administrative Agent to the outstanding balance of the Facility Amount. The Release Price paid for the release of the Club Component shall be reduced by the Club Membership Deposits applied to the Facility Amount. At any time that Administrative Agent receives a Deposit Letter of Credit complying with all of the terms set forth in the definition thereof, the Club Membership Deposits replaced by such Deposit Letter of Credit shall be released to Borrower for use by Borrower in the manner determined by Borrower.
 
(e)  Framing Deposits. Promptly upon receipt of a Framing Deposit, Borrower shall deposit the Framing Deposit into the Framing Deposit Account or provide a Deposit Letter of Credit in lieu thereof. Upon release of a Unit in the Residential Component, the applicable Framing Deposit on deposit in the Framing Deposit Account shall be released and applied by the Administrative Agent to the outstanding balance of the Facility Amount. The Release Price paid for the release of the Unit in the Residential Component shall be reduced by the Framing Deposit applied to the Facility Amount. At any time that Administrative Agent receives a Deposit Letter of Credit complying with all of the terms set forth in the definition thereof, the Framing Deposits replaced by such Deposit Letter of Credit shall be released to Borrower for use by Borrower in the manner determined by Borrower.
 
(f)  Covenant Compliance. If Borrower is not in compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2(a)(i) and (ii) or Section 9.21, Borrower shall prepay the Loan by such amount necessary for compliance with such provisions, as appropriate.
 
(g)  Application. Prepayments pursuant to Section 3.5(a) above shall be applied to the Loans then outstanding pro rata in the order set forth in Section 3.8.
 
3.6  Interest and Other Charges on Prepayment
. If the Loans are prepaid, in whole or in part, pursuant to Sections 3.4 or 3.5, each such prepayment shall be made on the prepayment date specified in the notice to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 3.5, and (in every case) together with (a) the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount prepaid, and (b) any amounts payable to the Lender pursuant to Section 5.5 as a result of such prepayment.
 
3.7  Lender's Records as to Sums Owing
. Absent manifest error, Administrative Agent's records as to the amounts of principal, interest and other sums owing hereunder shall be conclusive and binding.
 
3.8  Application of Payments Received
. All payments received by Administrative Agent hereunder shall be applied: first, to the payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts due Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder (excluding principal and interest); second, to accrued interest; and third, the balance to outstanding principal. As to sums applied to accrued interest under clause "second" above, such prepayment shall be applied first to LIBOR Rate Loans of the shortest maturity so as to minimize breakage costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3.8 or in any of the Loan Documents, if an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent may distribute payments to the Lenders for application in such manner as it, subject to Section 2.2(i), may determine to be appropriate.
 
3.9  Sharing of Payments, Etc.
 
(a)  Sharing. If any Lender obtains from Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker's lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by Borrower to such Lender than the percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Lenders. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Each Lender agrees that it shall turn over to Administrative Agent (for distribution by Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) on account of the Loans held by it in excess of its ratable portion of payments on account of the Loans obtained by all the Lenders.
 
(b)  Rights of Lenders; Bankruptcy. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which Section 14.10 applies, then such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under Section 14.10 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
 
ARTICLE IV  
 

 
EXTENSION OF THE MATURITY DATE
 
4.1  Extension of Scheduled Maturity Date
. Borrower may, at its option, extend the Scheduled Maturity Date for a period (the "Extension Period") of six (6) months (and the end of such period, the "Extended Maturity Date"), subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions (the "Extension Option"):
 
(a)  Borrower shall notify (the "Extension Notice") Administrative Agent of Borrower's exercise of such option at least ninety (90) days, but not more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date;
 
(b)  As of the date of the Extension Notice and as of the Scheduled Maturity Date, (i) no Event of Default then exists, (ii) no Default then exists or would result from the extension of the maturity of the Loans for the Extension Period; (iii) the Loans are In Balance; (iv) Completion of the construction of the Improvements shall have occurred; (v) no liens shall exist against the Project; (vi) the Minimum Loan Coverage Ratio requirement shall be met; and (vii) Borrower shall have sold all thirteen (13) Units of the Residential Component and closed on the sale of at least seven (7) Units from the Residential Component of the Project pursuant to the terms of Qualified Purchase Contracts, but at sales prices of no less than the amount set forth in Exhibit D.
 
(c)  Borrower and each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered to Administrative Agent such Modifications to and reaffirmations of the Loan Documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably require in connection with the foregoing.
 
(d)  Whether or not the extension becomes effective, Borrower shall pay all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the proposed extension (pre- and post-closing), including appraisal fees and legal fees; all such costs and expenses shall be due and payable upon demand, and any failure to pay such amounts shall constitute a Default under this Agreement and the Loan Documents;
 
(e)  Not later than the initial Scheduled Maturity Date, (i) the extension shall have been documented to the Lenders' reasonable satisfaction unless the failure to so document the extension is not the fault of Borrower and consented to by Borrower, Administrative Agent and all the Lenders, and (ii) Administrative Agent shall have been provided with an updated title report and judgment and lien searches, and appropriate title insurance endorsements shall have been issued as required by Administrative Agent;
 
(f)  On the Scheduled Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent (for payment to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares) an extension fee in the amount of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the total Commitments of all Lenders (whether disbursed or undisbursed), which Commitments may have been reduced by prepayments by Borrower of principal on the Loans as permitted by the terms of this Agreement and may be reduced as part of the exercise of the Extension Option as set forth in Section 2.3(b) (the "Extension Fee").
 
Any such extension shall be otherwise subject to all of the other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
 
ARTICLE V  
 

 
INCREASED COSTS, LIBOR AVAILABILITY, ILLEGALITY, ETC.
 
5.1  Costs of Making or Maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans
. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the applicable Lender) from time to time such amounts as any Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs that such Lender determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder (in each case, as opposed to Base Rate Loans), or, subject to the following provisions of this Article V, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of such LIBOR Rate Loans or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "Additional Costs"), provided such Additional Costs result from any Regulatory Change that:
 
(a)  shall subject any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office for any of such LIBOR Rate Loans) to any tax, duty or other charge in respect of such LIBOR Rate Loans or its Note or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or its Note in respect of any of such LIBOR Rate Loans (other than Excluded Taxes); or
 
(b)  imposes or Modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than the Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of the Adjusted LIBOR for such LIBOR Rate Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender (including any of such LIBOR Rate Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBOR" in Section 1.1), or any commitment of such Lender (including the Commitment of such Lender hereunder); or
 
(c)  imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or its Commitment.
 
If any Lender requests compensation from Borrower under this Section 5.1, Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender thereafter to make or Continue LIBOR Rate Loans, or Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans, until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect or until Borrower notifies such Lender that Borrower is lifting such suspension (in which case the provisions of Section 5.4 shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested for so long as any LIBOR Rate Loan remains in effect.
 
5.2  Limitation on LIBOR Rate Loans; LIBOR Not Available
. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any LIBOR for any Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan:
 
(a)  Administrative Agent determines, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBOR" are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Rate Loans as provided herein; or
 
(b)  the Required Lenders determine, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notify Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of "LIBOR" upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely adequate to cover the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period;
 
then Administrative Agent shall give Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional LIBOR Rate Loans, or to Continue LIBOR Rate Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans, and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans, either prepay such LIBOR Rate Loans or, in accordance with Section 2.7, Convert such LIBOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans or other LIBOR Rate Loans in amounts and maturities which are still being provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the applicable conditions under Sections 5.2(a) or 5.2(a) above affect only a portion of LIBOR Rate Loans, the balance of LIBOR Rate Loans may continue as LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) if the applicable conditions under Sections 5.2(a) and 5.2(b) only affect certain Interest Periods, Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, may elect to have LIBOR Rate Loans with such other Interest Periods.
 
5.3  Illegality
. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent thereof (who shall notify Borrower), and such Lender's obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into LIBOR Rate Loans, shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Rate Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.4 shall be applicable).
 
5.4  Treatment of Affected Loans
. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans or to Continue or to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Sections 5.1 or 5.3, then such Lender's LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Rate Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion resulting from a circumstance described in Section 5.3, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until either (i) such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Sections 5.1 or 5.3 that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist or (ii) Borrower, in the case of Section 5.1, ends any suspension by Borrower:
 
(a)  to the extent that such Lender's LIBOR Rate Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender's LIBOR Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
 
(b)  all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
 
If such Lender gives notice to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent that the circumstances specified in Sections 5.1 or 5.3 that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender's LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 5.4 no longer exist (which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) or Borrower terminates its applicable suspension at a time when LIBOR Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender's Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Base Rate and LIBOR Rate Loans are allocated among the Lenders ratably (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
 
5.5  Compensation
. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, any loss or expense sustained or incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan) (collectively, "Breakage Costs") that such Lender determines is attributable to:
 
(a)  any failure by Borrower for any reason (including the failure of any of the conditions precedent specified in Article VI or Article VII to be satisfied) to (i) borrow a LIBOR Rate Loan from such Lender (other than the default of such Lender) on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant Request for Loan Advance, or (ii) Continue or Convert a Loan on a date specified therefor in a notice thereof;
 
(b)  except as provided in Section 3.5(a), any payment, mandatory or optional prepayment or Conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan made by such Lender for any reason (including the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Article XII) on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period;
 
(c)  any failure by Borrower for any reason to prepay a LIBOR Rate Loan pursuant to a notice of prepayment given in accordance with Section 3.4; or
 
(d)  the occurrence of any Event of Default, including, but not limited to, any loss or expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan.
 
Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall include, without limitation, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, Conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable Adjusted LIBOR for such Loan provided for herein over (b) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such Lender), or if such Lender shall not, or shall cease to, make such bids, the equivalent rate, as reasonably determined by such Lender, derived from Telerate Page 3750 or other publicly available source as described in the definition of "LIBOR"). A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. Any payment due to any of the Lenders pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be deemed additional interest under such Lender's Note.
 
5.6  Additional Waivers
. Borrower acknowledges that, during any period in which Borrower has elected the LIBOR-Based Rate as the Applicable Interest Rate, payment or prepayment of any portion of the Loan on a date other than the last day of an applicable LIBOR Period shall result in Lender's incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and, to the extent specified herein, any such payment or prepayment therefore must include the Breakage Costs and other sums set forth above. Borrower hereby expressly (a) waives any rights it may have under Applicable Law to prepay any portion of the Loan without penalty or charge, upon acceleration of the maturity of this Note, and (b) agrees that if a prepayment of any portion of the Loans is made, following any acceleration of the maturity of the Notes by the holders thereof on account of any transfer or disposition as prohibited or restricted by the Loan Agreement or by the Security Instrument, then Borrower shall be obligated to pay, concurrently therewith, as a prepayment premium, the applicable Breakage Costs and other sums specified above.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(d)  Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

(a)  Definition of "In Balance" Loans. Borrower represents that the Project Budget sets forth all anticipated costs to be incurred by Borrower in connection with the ownership, development, construction, financing, and marketing of the Project from time to time through the Scheduled Maturity Date. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Loans shall be deemed not "In Balance" if, at any time, (i) the Loan to Value Ratio is greater than 75%; (ii) the Loan coverage is less than the Minimum Loan Coverage Ratio; (iii) the projected cost of any category of costs included in any individual Project Budget Line-Item (including, without limitation, the Interest Reserve and the Contingency Fund line items) exceeds the amount set forth in the Project Budget for such individual Project Budget Line-Item by more than fifteen percent (15%) (as the same may be adjusted in accordance with Section 7.4 and any other terms of this Agreement), or (iv) the projected cost to achieve Completion of the Project exceeds the Project Budget as determined by Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant in their reasonable discretion. So long as the foregoing events do not exist, the Loans shall be deemed "In Balance."
 
(b)  Deficiency Deposits. If at any time the Loans are deemed not "In Balance," with respect to Section 7.2(a)(iii) and (iv) above then Borrower shall, provided sufficient funds do not remain in the Contingency Fund to cover such deficiency, within ten (10) Business Days after written notice from Administrative Agent deposit with Administrative Agent an amount sufficient to cover such deficiency (a "Deficiency Deposit"), which Deficiency Deposit shall be deposited into a Controlled Account. Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be required to make any disbursement of any Loans before receiving payment of any such Deficiency Deposit and the prior application of any such Deficiency Deposit to the payment of any budgeted costs to bring the Loans In Balance. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Administrative Agent may (subject to the provisions of Section 13.3), at its option, (i) exercise any or all of its rights under the Loan Documents, (ii) apply any unexpended Deficiency Deposit to the costs of Completion of the Improvements, and/or (iii) apply any unexpended Deficiency Deposit to the immediate reduction of any amounts due under the Notes and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.2(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 7.2(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the Loan Documents (other than the Development Agreement Guaranty) shall obligate the holders of any Equity Interests for the payment of any amounts due from Borrower to Lender hereunder.
 
(c)  Additional Appraisals. At any time and from time to time Administrative Agent may obtain a new Appraisal of the Project, provided, however, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay or reimburse Administrative Agent for an Appraisal more that once during a twelve-month period.
 
7.3  Project Budget Line-Items; Loans to be Used for Specific Line-Items.
 
(a)  The Project Budget includes as line items (collectively, "Project Budget Line-Items") the cost of all labor, materials, equipment, fixtures and furnishings needed for the Completion of all Construction Work, and all other costs, fees and expenses relating in any way whatsoever thereto. Borrower agrees that all Loans shall be used only for the Project Budget Line-Items for which such Loans are made as reallocated from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to advance any amount for any category of costs set forth as a Project Budget Line-Item which is greater than 115% of the amount set forth for such category in the applicable Project Budget Line-Item as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement.
 
(b)  Reallocation of Contingency Fund and Line-Items Based on Costs Savings. Borrower may apply the Available Contingency Amount and/or savings from one Project Budget Line-Item to cost overruns in another Project Budget Line-Item, to any other unbudgeted Project Cost or to bring the Loans in Balance provided: (i) no Event of Default then exists, and (ii) as to reallocations from a Project Budget Line Item (1) all costs to be paid out of the Project Budget Line-Item from which funds are being reallocated have been paid or sufficient sums remain in said line item to pay such costs when the same become due, (2) said savings are actual savings and are documented to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant in their reasonable discretion, (3) such reallocation will not violate the provisions of the Lien Law or affect the priority of the Security Instrument on the Project, and (4) no Interest Reserve funds are reallocated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event Administrative Agent's approval of an adjustment to a Project Budget Line Item is required, Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may condition any such approval on obtaining, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, an endorsement to the Title Policy insuring against any statutory lien for services, labor or materials furnished or contracted for which at such time has gained (or may thereafter gain) priority over the lien of the Security Instrument as a result of such reallocation.
 
7.4  Project Budget Contingencies.
 
(a)  Contingency Fund Line-Item. The Project Budget shall initially contain a line item equal to $12,061,016 for Hard Costs contingency and $2,566,591.00 for Soft Costs contingency (the "Contingency Fund") designated for contingency which represent amounts necessary to provide reasonable assurances to Administrative Agent and the Lenders that additional funds are available to be used if additional costs, expenses and/or delays are incurred or additional interest accrues on the Loans, or unanticipated events or problems occur. The Contingency Fund shall be subject to reduction upon reallocation, disbursement, or otherwise as provided herein. Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, reallocate the required amount of the Contingency Fund to other Project Budget Line-Items from time to time.
 
(b)  Use of Contingency Fund. In addition to Borrower's right to reallocate the Available Contingency Amount as set forth in Section 7.2(b), upon request of Borrower, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to do so), from time to time in its sole discretion, disburse the Contingency Fund or portions thereof to Borrower (thereby reducing the amount of the same) for use under the Project Budget Line-Items for which they are reallocated. Borrower agrees that except as set forth in Section7.2(b), the decision with respect to utilizing any portion of the Contingency Fund in order to keep the Loans In Balance shall be made by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and that Borrower may be required to make a Deficiency Deposit even if funds remain in the Contingency Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Administrative Agent may condition any such reallocation under this Section 7.4(b), on obtaining, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, an endorsement to the Title Policy insuring against any statutory lien for services, labor or materials furnished or contracted for which at such time has gained (or may thereafter gain) priority over the lien of the Security Instrument as a result of the reallocation of the Contingency Fund.

Administrative Agent shall give Borrower prompt written notice of any such disbursements.
 
(c)  Subject to the provisions of Section 13.3, Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may (but shall not be obligated to do so) make such disbursements authorized under this Section 7.5 notwithstanding that the Loans are not In Balance or that a Default or Event of Default exists under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Such disbursements shall constitute a Loan and be added to the principal balance of the Notes, and the Lenders shall make the applicable Loans to fund any such disbursements. The authorization hereby granted is irrevocable, and no further direction or authorization from Borrower is necessary for Administrative Agent to make such disbursements.
 
7.6  Retainage.
 
(a)  Disbursement of the available proceeds of each Loan with respect only to Hard Costs shall be limited to ninety percent (90%) of the value of the Hard Costs set forth in the applicable Request for Loan Advance; provided, however, that in no event shall such percentage be less than the retainage percentage set forth in any contract or subcontract for such portion of the Improvements (the amounts retained by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.6(a) being, collectively, the "Retainage"). No Retainage will apply to (i) any Soft Costs or (ii) the General Contractor Fees and general conditions performed by the General Contractor pursuant to the General Contract.
 
(b)  Administrative Agent shall advance proceeds of Loans pursuant to a Request for Loan Advance to pay portions of the Retainage with respect to each contract (including a Major Subcontract) prior to the Completion of all Base Building Work, within fifteen (15) days after Borrower's compliance with the following conditions to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent with respect to such contracts:
 
(i)  except with respect to the payment of interim retainage prior to the completion of all of the work in accordance with the terms of the applicable contract, all of the work under such contract is finally completed in accordance with the terms of such contract and the applicable Plans and Specifications, and Administrative Agent receives a certification to that effect from an Authorized Officer of Borrower and Borrower's Architect and such work has been approved by the Construction Consultant;
 
(ii)  the work performed by such contractor has been approved, to the extent such approval is required, by the Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the same and the applicable permits with respect to such work, if any, have been issued;
 
(iii)  the contract provides for such early release of the applicable Retainage;
 
(iv)  the applicable contractor (including the General Contractor), subcontractor, materialman or other supplier with respect to which the Retainage is being released delivers to Administrative Agent a final and complete unconditional release of Lien;
 
(v)  if and as required by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall have received copies of any warranties, guaranties or "as built" drawings relating to the work performed by each such contractor, subcontractor, materialman or other supplier in connection with the Base Building Work; and
 
(vi)  all other applicable requirements and conditions with respect to such advance of Loan proceeds have been satisfied or previously waived in writing by Administrative Agent.
 
7.7  Unsatisfactory Work
. If the Construction Consultant or Administrative Agent shall determine that a portion of the Construction Work for which Loans are sought is Unsatisfactory Work, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (a) withhold from such Loans such amounts the proceeds of which are intended to pay for the Unsatisfactory Work and (b) to the extent the Construction Consultant reasonably determines that the failure to remedy such Unsatisfactory Work prior to proceeding with Construction Work would have a material adverse impact on the value of the Project or the ability to complete other work pursuant to the Plans and Specifications, require the affected portion of the Construction Work to be stopped until such time as Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant are satisfied that the Unsatisfactory Work is corrected, and no such action by Administrative Agent shall be deemed to affect Borrower's Completion obligation with respect to the Improvements on or before the Completion Date or right to proceed with and receive Loans in connection with Construction Work that is not affected by the Unsatisfactory Work, and the Lenders shall, subject to compliance by Borrower with all other applicable requirements of this Agreement, be required to make Loans with respect to such Unsatisfactory Work only after the Construction Consultant and Administrative Agent shall have determined that the work which had been identified as Unsatisfactory Work has been corrected to the satisfaction of the Construction Consultant and Administrative Agent.
 
7.8  No Waiver or Approval by Reason of Loan Advances
. The making of any Loans by the Lenders shall not be deemed an acceptance or approval by Administrative Agent or the Lenders (for the benefit of Borrower or any third party) of the completed Construction Work or other work theretofore done or constructed or to the Lenders' obligations to make further Loans, nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any condition, shall any such failure to insist upon strict compliance have the effect of precluding Administrative Agent or the Lenders from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default as herein provided. Administrative Agent's and/or the Lenders' waiver of, or failure to enforce, any conditions to or requirements associated with any Loans in any one or more circumstances shall not constitute or imply a waiver of such conditions or requirements in any other circumstances.
 
7.9  Construction Consultant
. Administrative Agent reserves the right to employ the Construction Consultant and any other consultants necessary, in Administrative Agent's reasonable judgment, to review Requests for Loan Advance, inspect all construction and the periodic progress of the same, the reasonable cost therefor to be borne by Borrower as a loan expense. Borrower shall make available to Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant on reasonable notice during business hours, all documents and other information (including, without limitation, receipts, invoices, lien waivers and other supporting documentation to substantiate the costs to be paid with the proceeds of any Request for Loan Advance) which any contractor or other Person entitled to payment for Construction Work is required to deliver to Borrower and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any further documents or information reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or the Construction Consultant in connection with any Loan or the administration of this Agreement. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Construction Consultant shall have no responsibilities or duties to Borrower, and shall be employed solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders. No default of Borrower will be waived by an inspection by Administrative Agent or the Construction Consultant. In no event will any inspection by Administrative Agent or the Construction Consultant be a representation that there has been or will be compliance with the Plans and Specifications or that the Construction Work is free from defective materials or workmanship. Any and all provisions of this Agreement in respect of the Construction Consultant shall be enforceable solely by, and at the option of, Administrative Agent, and Borrower shall not be a third-party beneficiary thereof. Any and all reports, advice or other information provided by the Construction Consultant to Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders or otherwise produced by or in the possession of the Construction Consultant shall be confidential and Borrower shall have no right to obtain or review same.
 
7.10  Authorization to Make Loan Advances to Cure Borrower's Defaults
. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Administrative Agent (subject to the provisions of Section 13.3) may (but shall not be required to) perform any of such covenants and agreements with respect to which Borrower is in Default and of which Administrative Agent has notified Borrower. Any amounts expended by Administrative Agent in so doing and any amounts expended by Administrative Agent in connection therewith shall constitute a Loan and be added to the Outstanding Principal Amount, and the Lenders shall make the applicable Loans to fund any such disbursements. The authorization hereby granted is irrevocable, and no prior notice to or further direction or authorization from Borrower is necessary for Administrative Agent to make such disbursements.

7.11  Administrative Agent's Right to Make Loan Advances in Compliance with the Completion Guaranty and Development Agreement Guaranty
. Any Loan proceeds disbursed by Administrative Agent as contemplated by Section 2 of the Completion Guaranty and Development Agreement Guaranty (whether the applicable work is being performed by the Guarantor or Administrative Agent) shall constitute a Loan and be added to the Outstanding Principal Amount, and the Lenders shall make the applicable Loans to fund any such disbursements. The authorization hereby granted is irrevocable and no prior notice to or further direction or authorization from Borrower is necessary for Administrative Agent to make such disbursements.
 
7.12  No Third-Party Benefit
. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Lenders, Administrative Agent and Borrower. All conditions of the obligations of the Lenders to make advances hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of the Lenders and may be freely waived or Modified in whole or in part by the Lenders at any time if in their sole discretion they deem it advisable to do so, and no Person other than Borrower (provided, however, that all conditions have been satisfied) shall have standing to require the Lenders to make any Loan advances or shall be a beneficiary of this Agreement or any advances to be made hereunder.

 
7.13  Payments for Spa Project
. As acknowledged by Borrower and Lodge Properties Inc. in the Subdivision Agreement, the Improvements to be constructed with Advances hereunder and the Spa Project are interrelated from a construction standpoint and in fact, are governed by the terms of the single General Contract. It is in the interest of all parties involved that the construction of the Improvements and the Spa Project remains on schedule and that payments for the construction are made on a timely basis and in a manner to maintain a lien-free Project.

Simultaneously with the initial deposit under this Section 9.12, Borrower shall deposit with Administrative Agent an amount determined by Administrative Agent to be necessary to ensure that there will be on deposit with Administrative Agent an amount which, when added to the monthly payments subsequently required to be deposited with Administrative Agent hereunder on account of Real Estate Taxes and Insurance Premiums, will result in there being on deposit with Administrative Agent an amount sufficient to pay the next due periodic installment of Real Estate Taxes and Insurance Premiums at least one (1) month prior to the delinquency date thereof and the next periodic payments of insurance premiums and ground rent at least one (1) month prior to the due date thereof. Commencing on the first Business Day of the first calendar month after the occurrence of an Event of Default and continuing thereafter on the first Business Day of each month thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the yearly amount of Real Estate Taxes and Insurance Premiums that will next become due and payable on the Project.

Such amounts shall be held by Administrative Agent in a Controlled Account and applied (together with any interest earned thereon) to the payment of the obligations in respect to which such amounts were deposited or, at the option of Administrative Agent, to the payment of said obligations in such order or priority as Administrative Agent shall determine, on or before the respective dates on which the same or any of them would become delinquent. If one (1) month prior to the due date of any of the aforementioned obligations the amounts then on deposit therefor shall be insufficient for the payment of such obligations in full, Borrower, within five (5) Business Days after demand, shall deposit the amount of the deficiency Administrative Agent into the Controlled Account. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect any right or remedy of Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders under the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loans Documents or of any statute or rule of law to pay any such amount and to add the amount so paid together with interest at the Default Rate to the indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument. Borrower hereby pledges to and grants to Administrative Agent a security interest in any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in such Controlled Account as additional security for the payment of the Loans and agrees to enter into an agreement with Administrative Agent and the bank where such account is established substantially in the form in order to perfect Administrative Agent's security interest therein. In making any payment from such Controlled Account, Administrative Agent may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate or procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Real Estate Taxes), insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any such charge.

. Borrower shall permit representatives of Administrative Agent, the Construction Consultant and the Lenders, at reasonable times and on reasonable advance notice, to examine its books of record and account, to make copies and abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its principal officers, engineers and independent accountants (and by this provision Borrower authorizes said accountants to discuss with such Persons such affairs, finances and accounts, but after prior notice to Borrower of such discussions).

Borrower shall not commence the Construction Work, or any particular component or phase thereof, until Borrower has obtained all permits, licenses and approvals required under any Applicable Law for the commencement of the Construction Work or such component or phase thereof, as the case may be. In no event will Borrower permit or suffer any party, including subcontractors, to commence proceedings to enforce any Lien unless and to the extent that said Lien is fully bonded; provided that such bonding effects the removal of any such Liens or claims.
 
(b)  Borrower will deliver to Administrative Agent, on demand, copies of all contracts, bills of sale, statements, receipted vouchers and agreements under which Borrower claims title to any materials, fixtures or articles incorporated in the Improvements, or subject to the lien of the Security Instrument.
 
(c)  Borrower will, upon demand of Administrative Agent based upon the advice of the Construction Consultant, correct any Unsatisfactory Work pursuant to Section 7.7; and the advance of any proceeds of any Loan shall not constitute a waiver of Administrative Agent's right to require compliance with this covenant with respect to any such defects or departures from the Plans and Specifications not theretofore discovered by or called to the attention of the Construction Consultant. Notwithstanding the above, none of Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Construction Consultant shall have any affirmative duty to Borrower or any third party to inspect for said defects or to call them to the attention of Borrower or anyone else.

Such Appraisals shall be completed at Borrower's expense and shall be prepared by an appraiser satisfactory to Administrative Agent, provided however, if no Event of Default has occurred, Borrower shall not be required to pay for any such Appraisal more than once in any twelve (12) month period.
 
9.17  Proceedings to Enjoin or Prevent Construction
. If any proceedings are filed seeking to enjoin or otherwise prevent or declare invalid or unlawful all or any part of the Construction Work, Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such proceedings to be vigorously contested in good faith, and in the event of an adverse ruling or decision, use commercially reasonable efforts to prosecute all allowable appeals therefrom, and will, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, use commercially reasonable efforts to resist the entry or seek the stay of any temporary or permanent injunction that may be entered, and use its best efforts to bring about a favorable and speedy disposition of all such proceedings.

If any prohibited Transfer occurs, Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Administrative Agent may invoke any rights and remedies provided under Section 12.2 hereof. Borrower acknowledges the materiality of the provisions of this Section 10.3(c) as a covenant of Borrower, and that such covenant was given individual weight and consideration by Administrative Agent in entering into the Obligations secured by the Security Documents, and that any Transfer in violation of the prohibited transfer provisions herein set forth shall result in a material impairment of Administrative Agent's interest in the Obligations and be deemed a breach of the foregoing covenant.
 
(d)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.3, except as set forth in Section 10.3(b), any Change of Control or Transfer which would result in a Change of Control (in addition to any other consents or approvals required hereunder) shall be further subject to (i) Borrower providing prior written notice to Administrative Agent of any such transfer, (ii) no Default or Event of Default then existing, (iii) the proposed transferee being a corporation, partnership, joint venture, joint-stock company, trust or individual approved in writing by each Lender subject to a Limiting Regulation in its discretion, and (iv) payment to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders of all costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in connection with such transfer. Each Lender at the time subject to a Limiting Regulation shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receiving Borrower's notice of a proposed Change of Control or Transfer subject to this Section 10.3(b), furnish to Borrower a certificate (which shall be conclusive absent manifest error) stating that it is subject to a Limiting Regulation, whereupon such Lender shall have the approval right contained in clause (iii) above. Each Lender which fails to furnish such a certificate to Borrower during such ten (10) Business Day period shall be automatically and conclusively deemed not to be subject to a Limiting Regulation. If any Lender subject to a Limiting Regulation fails to approve a proposed transferee under clause (iii) above (any such Lender being herein called a "Rejecting Lender"), Borrower, upon three (3) Business Days notice, may (1) notwithstanding Section 2.2(i), prepay such Rejecting Lender's outstanding Loans in accordance with the provisions for prepayment set forth in Section 3.4, or (2) require that such Rejecting Lender transfer all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement and such Rejecting Lender's Note to an Eligible Assignee designated by Borrower that is approved by Administrative Agent provided that such Eligible Assignee assumes all of the obligations of such Rejecting Lender hereunder, and purchases all of such Rejecting Lender's Loans hereunder for consideration equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Rejecting Lender's Loans, together with interest thereon to the date of such purchase (to the extent not paid by Borrower), and satisfactory arrangements are made for payment to such Rejecting Lender of all other amounts accrued and payable hereunder to such Rejecting Lender as of the date of such transfer (including any fees accrued hereunder and any amounts that would be payable under Section 2.2(i) as if all such Rejecting Lender's Loans were prepaid in full on such date). Subject to the provisions of Section 14.7(b), such Eligible Assignee shall be a "Lender" for all purposes hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements of Borrower contained in Sections 5.1, 5.7, and 14.3 shall survive for the benefit of such Rejecting Lender with respect to the time period prior to such replacement.

Borrower shall fail to cause any Unsatisfactory Work to be corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant within twenty (20) Business Days after notice of such disapproval; provided, however, that if such Unsatisfactory Work cannot reasonably be corrected within such twenty (20) day period, then so long as Borrower shall have commenced to cause the correction of such Unsatisfactory Work within such twenty (20) Business Day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cause the correction of the same, such twenty (20) Business Day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cause the correction of such Unsatisfactory Work, but in no event beyond the date which is sixty (60) days after the applicable notice of disapproval or such later date as may be approved in Administrative Agent's sole discretion; or
 
(q)  Contractor Bankruptcy. The bankruptcy or insolvency of the General Contractor and failure of Borrower to procure a contract with a new general contractor or guarantor (such contract, general contractor, guaranty and guarantor, as the case may be, to be approved by Administrative Agent) within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such bankruptcy or insolvency (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld); or

(s)  Cessation of Construction.

(v)  Other Loan Documents. Any "Event of Default" shall occur under and is defined by the provisions of any of the other Loan Documents.
 
12.2  Remedies
. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, Administrative Agent may (subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 13.3) and, upon request of the Required Lenders shall, by written notice to Borrower, pursue any one or more of the following remedies, concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that none of such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any other:
 
(a)  In the case of an Event of Default other than one referred to in Sections 12.1(d) or 12.1(f) with respect to Borrower, terminate the Commitments and/or declare the Outstanding Principal Amount, and the accrued interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including any amounts payable under Section 5.5) and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable whereupon such amounts shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; provided, however, that in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in Sections 12.1(d) or 12.1(f) with respect to a Borrower Party, the Commitments shall automatically be terminated and the Outstanding Principal Amount, and the accrued interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including any amounts payable under Section 5.5), under the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall automatically become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower;
 
(b)  In the case of any Event of Default resulting from Borrower's failure, refusal or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by the Loan Documents, then, while any Event of Default exists and without notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Administrative Agent and the Lenders may have because of such Event of Default, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of Borrower, and shall have the right to enter upon the Project for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to the Project as it may deem necessary or appropriate. If Administrative Agent shall elect to pay any sum due with respect to the Project, Administrative Agent may do so in reliance on any bill, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate Governmental Authority or other issuer thereof without inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof. Similarly, in making any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or threatened adverse title, Lien, encumbrance, claim or charge before making an advance for the purpose of preventing or removing the same. Additionally, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, if any Hazardous Substance affects or threatens to affect the Project, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) give such notices and take such actions as it deems necessary or advisable in order to abate the discharge of or remove any Hazardous Substance;
 
(c)  Take possession of the Project and cause Completion of the Improvements and do anything in its sole judgment to fulfill the obligations of Borrower hereunder, including either the right to avail itself of and procure performance of existing contracts or let any contracts with the same contractors or others and to employ watchmen to protect the Project from injury. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Administrative Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution in the Project to cause Completion of the Improvements in the name of Borrower; to use unadvanced funds remaining under the Commitments or which may be reserved, or escrowed or set aside for any purposes hereunder at any time, or to advance funds in excess of the face amount of the Notes (and all such amounts shall be payable by Borrower together with interest at the Default Rate), to cause Completion the Improvements; to make changes in the Plans and Specifications which shall be necessary or desirable for Completion of the Improvements in substantially the manner contemplated by the Plans and Specifications; to retain or employ new general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; to pay, settle, or compromise all existing bills and claims, which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against the Project or security interest against fixtures or equipment, or as may be necessary or desirable for the Completion of the Improvements or for the clearance of title; to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf; and to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Project or fixtures or equipment; to take action and require such performance as it deems necessary under any bonds furnished in connection with the construction of the Improvements and to make settlements and compromises with surety or sureties thereunder, and in connection therewith, to execute instruments of release and satisfaction; it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked;
 
(d)  Exercise the Lenders' rights under the Completion Guaranty and Development Agreement Guaranty to require any Guarantor to perform thereunder, in which case Borrower hereby (i) authorizes Administrative Agent and the Lenders to make advances of the Loans directly to such Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Completion Guaranty and Development Agreement Guaranty and this Agreement and (ii) agrees that Borrower shall be liable to the Lenders for all such advances to such Guarantor and such advances shall be deemed Loans under this Agreement and be evidenced by the Notes and secured by the Security Instrument and the other Security Documents; and
 
(e)  Exercise or pursue any other remedy or cause of action permitted under this Agreement, any or all of the Security Documents, or any other Loan Document, or conferred upon Administrative Agent and the Lenders by operation of law.
 
WHETHER OR NOT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS ELECT TO EMPLOY ANY OR ALL OF THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, NEITHER ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF THE LENDERS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF OR FAILURE TO CONSTRUCT, COMPLETE OR PROTECT THE IMPROVEMENTS OR FOR PAYMENT OF ANY EXPENSES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF ANY REMEDY AVAILABLE TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS OR FOR THE PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATION OF BORROWER.
 
ARTICLE XIII  
 

 
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
 
13.1  Appointment, Powers and Immunities
. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent shall be a party to each of the Loan Documents (other than the Notes) as secured party, beneficiary, indemnitee, and such other applicable capacities, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders (and each Lender hereby ratifies and reaffirms the Loan Documents so executed and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof) and hold all Collateral covered thereby for the benefit of the Lenders, and receive all payments or proceeds received in connection therewith for the undivided benefit and protection of the Lenders in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. As soon as practicable after each such receipt of proceeds by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall determine the respective amounts to be distributed and promptly thereafter shall credit to itself the amount to which it is entitled (as Administrative Agent, Lender or otherwise) and wire the amounts to which the other Lenders are entitled in accordance with such written instruction as each Lender from time to time may deliver to Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall hold its own Note and shall receive a copy of each Loan Document. Administrative Agent (which term as used in this Section 13.1 shall include reference to its Affiliates and its own and its Affiliates' officers, directors, employees and agents) shall not:
 
(a)  have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document be a fiduciary or trustee for any Lender except to the extent that Administrative Agent acts as an agent with respect to the receipt or payment of funds, nor shall Administrative Agent have any fiduciary duty to the Borrower nor shall any Lender have any fiduciary duty to the Borrower or any other Lender;
 
(b)  be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by the Borrower or any other Person to perform any of its Obligations hereunder or thereunder;
 
(c)  be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct;
 
(d)  except to the extent expressly instructed in writing by the Required Lenders with respect to collateral security under the Loan Documents, be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Loan Document; and
 
(e)  be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Governmental Requirement.
 
The relationship between and among Administrative Agent and each Lender is a contractual relationship only, and nothing herein shall be deemed to impose on Administrative Agent any obligations other than those for which express provision is made herein or in the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of a Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.7. Except to the extent expressly provided in Sections 13.8, 13.10, and 13.11(g), the provisions of this Article XIII are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof and the Administrative Agent and Lenders may, pursuant to a written agreement executed by all such Persons, Modify or waive such provisions of this Article XIII in their sole and absolute discretion.
 
13.2  Reliance by Administrative Agent
. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice, document or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telegram or cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.
 
13.3  Borrower Defaults.
 
(a)  Administrative Agent shall give the Lenders notice of any material Default of which Administrative Agent has knowledge or notice. Except with respect to (i) the nonpayment of principal, interest or any fees that are due and payable under any of the Loan Documents, (ii) Defaults with respect to which Administrative Agent has actually sent written notice of to the Borrower and (iii) Defaults with respect to which Administrative Agent has entered into discussions with the Borrower, Administrative Agent shall be deemed to not have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default." If Administrative Agent has such knowledge or receives such a notice from the Borrower or a Lender in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence with respect to the occurrence of a material Default, Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Within ten (10) days of delivery of such notice of Default from Administrative Agent to the Lenders (or such shorter period of time as Administrative Agent determines is necessary), Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult with each other to determine a proposed course of action. Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 13.7) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders; provided that (i) unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action (including decisions (1) to make Protective Advances that Administrative Agent determines are necessary to protect or maintain the Project and (2) to foreclose on the Project or exercise any other remedy), with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the interest of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of all of the Lenders and (ii) no actions approved by the Required Lenders shall violate the Loan Documents or Governmental Requirement.
 
(b)  Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Notes) other than through Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of all material actions which Administrative Agent takes in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Required Lenders shall at any time direct that a different or additional remedial action be taken from that already undertaken by Administrative Agent, including the commencement of foreclosure proceedings, such different or additional remedial action shall be taken in lieu of or in addition to, the prosecution of such action taken by Administrative Agent; provided that all actions already taken by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.3(a) shall be valid and binding on each Lender.
 
(c)  All money (other than money subject to the provisions of Section 13.3(g)) received from any enforcement actions, including the proceeds of a foreclosure sale of the Project, shall be applied: First, to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Agent for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Sections 13.3(d), 13.3(e), and 13.3(f) and 13.5 and to the payment of any fees and charges then due agent to the extent not paid by the Borrower; Second, to the Lenders for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3(d), 13.3(e), and 13.3(f) and 13.5; Third, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant to Section 13.3(d); and Fourth, pari passu to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares, unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 13.11, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Lender.
 
(d)  All losses with respect to interest (including interest at the Default Rate) and other sums payable pursuant to the Notes or incurred in connection with the Loans, the enforcement thereof or the realization of the security therefor, shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares. The Lenders shall promptly, upon request, remit to Administrative Agent their respective Proportionate Shares of (i) any expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any Default to the extent any expenses have not been paid by the Borrower, (ii) any advances made to pay taxes or insurance or otherwise to preserve the lien of the Loan Documents or to preserve and protect the Project or made to effect the Completion of the Improvements to be constructed pursuant to this Agreement whether or not the amount necessary to be advanced for such purposes exceeds the amount of the respective Commitments of the Lenders, (iii) any other expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Security Instrument or other Loan Documents, and (iv) any expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the Loans not paid or provided for by the Borrower. To the extent any such advances are recovered in connection with the enforcement of the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, each Lender shall be paid its Proportionate Share of such recovery after deduction of the expenses of Administrative Agent.
 
(e)  If any action is brought to collect on the Notes, foreclose under the Security Instrument, or enforce any of the Loan Documents, such action shall (to the extent permitted under applicable law and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, collectively, to collect on all or a portion of the Notes or enforce the Loan Documents, and counsel selected by Administrative Agent shall prosecute any such action on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof. The costs and expenses of foreclosure, to the extent not paid by Borrower within ten (10) days after Administrative Agent's demand therefor, will be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares. 
 
(f)  If title is acquired to the Project after a foreclosure sale, nonjudicial foreclosure or by a deed in lieu of foreclosure, title shall be held by Administrative Agent in its own name in trust for the Lenders or, at Administrative Agent's election, in the name of a wholly owned subsidiary of Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders. 
 
(g)  If Administrative Agent (or its subsidiary) acquires title to the Project or is entitled to possession of the Project during or after the foreclosure, all material decisions with respect to the possession, ownership, development, construction, control, operation, leasing, management and sale of the Project shall be made by Administrative Agent. All income or other money received after so acquiring title to or taking possession of the Project with respect to the Project, including income from the operation and management of the Project and the proceeds of a sale of the Project, shall be applied: First, to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Agent for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Article XIII and to the payment of any fees and charges then due agent to the extent not paid by the Borrower; Second, to the payment of operating expenses with respect to the Project; Third, to the establishment of reasonable reserves for the operation of the Project; Fourth, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant to Section 13.3(d); Fifth to fund any capital improvement, leasing and other reserves established at the discretion of Administrative Agent; and Sixth, pari passu to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares, unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 13.11, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Lender.
 
13.4  Rights as a Lender
. With respect to its Loan Commitment and the Loans made by it, Wells Fargo (and any successor acting as "Administrative Agent" hereunder) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as Lender. Wells Fargo (and any successor acting as "Administrative Agent" hereunder) and any of its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any other Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with the Borrower (and any of its Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and Wells Fargo (and any such successor) and any of its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. 
 
13.5  Indemnification
. Each Lender agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower, but without limiting the Obligations of the Borrower hereunder) ratably in accordance with their Proportionate Shares, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein (including the costs and expenses that the Borrower is obligated to pay hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent.
 
13.6  Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders
. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrower and the Guarantor and its decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.5 above, Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or the Guarantor of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Borrower or the Guarantor. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or the Guarantor (or any of their Affiliates) that may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall not be responsible in any manner to any Lender (or any permitted successor or assign of any Lender), and each Lender represents and warrants that it has not relied upon Administrative Agent for or in respect of, (a) the creditworthiness of Borrower and the risks involved to such Lender, (b) the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity, or the due execution of any Loan Document, (c) any representation, warranty, document, certificate, report, or statement made therein or furnished thereunder or in connection therewith, (d) the existence, priority, or perfection of any Lien granted or purported to be granted under any Loan Document, or (e) the observation of or compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of Borrower. 
 
13.7  Failure to Act
. Except for action expressly required of Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 13.5 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 
 
13.8  Resignation and Removal of Administrative Agent.
 
(a)  It is agreed by the Lenders that Administrative Agent shall remain Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents throughout the term of the Loan; provided, however, Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days prior notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent that shall be a Person that:
 
(i)  meets the qualifications of an Eligible Assignee; and
 
(ii)  has substantial experience in construction loan administration, and if such successor Administrative Agent is not a Lender, as long as no Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall have the right to approve such successor Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
 
If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, that shall be a Person that meets the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) above, and if such successor Administrative Agent is not a Lender, the Borrower, as long as no Event of Default exists, shall have the right to approve such successor Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the retiring Administrative Agent shall not be discharged from any liabilities which existed prior to the effective date of such resignation. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XIII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
 
(b)  Administrative Agent may be removed by the Required Lenders if:
 
(i)  Administrative Agent shall have failed to pay to Lenders any amount due to any Lender pursuant to this Agreement (and not reasonably disputed by Administrative Agent) within seven (7) Business Days of the date Administrative Agent is notified of a default in a payment due from Administrative Agent to such Lenders;
 
(ii)  Administrative Agent shall have failed to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect and such failure shall not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days after written notice from Lenders to Administrative Agent of such failure, or if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, within such longer period of time as may be necessary to complete such cure so long as Administrative Agent commences such cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion; or
 
(iii)  Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender.
 
13.9  Consents and Certain Actions under, and Modifications of, Loan Documents.
 
(a)  Administrative Agent may, except as provided below in Section 13.9(b) below, (i) grant or refuse to grant any consent or approval required or requested of it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in its sole and absolute discretion (except where another standard of discretion is expressly required of Administrative Agent pursuant to the applicable Loan Document), and (ii) consent or refuse to consent to any Modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, such authority shall include the power to grant approvals consents and make all decisions with respect to all Ministerial Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent, shall be authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to, or further consent from, any Lender, to waive the imposition of the Late Charge provided in Section 3.3, up to a maximum of 3 times per calendar year.
 
(b)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall not, without the approval of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as specified below, have the right or power (and Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent shall not have the right or power) to grant any consent or approval required or requested of it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, consent to any Modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents, or take any action, if the effect of such consent, approval, Modification, supplement, waiver or action would result in:

(6)  a waiver of the conditions precedent to the making of Loans set forth in Section 6.2.
 
(iii)  Without the consent of the affected Lender, change such Lender's Proportionate Share (provided, however, that this clause shall not apply to reductions in or a deemed reduction in any Lender's Proportionate Share pursuant to Section 13.11 hereof, nor shall it be construed to prevent a Lender from assigning its interest in the Loan pursuant to Section 14.7).
 
(c)  If Administrative Agent solicits any consents or approvals from the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, each Lender shall within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such request, give Administrative Agent written notice of its consent or approval or denial thereof (or such shorter time as may be required under the applicable Loan Document for Administrative Agent to respond, in which case Lenders shall have the same time period minus one (1) Business Day); provided that if any Lender does not respond within such ten (10) Business Days, such Lender shall be deemed to have authorized Administrative Agent to vote such Lender's interest with respect to the matter which was the subject of Administrative Agent's solicitation as Administrative Agent elects. Any such solicitation by Administrative Agent for a consent or approval shall be in writing and shall include a description of the matter or thing as to which such consent or approval is requested and shall include Administrative Agent's recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. 
 
13.10  Authorization
. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to execute, deliver and perform in accordance with the terms of each of the Loan Documents to which Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Lender agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of Administrative Agent contained in such Loan Documents. The Borrower shall be entitled to rely on all written agreements, approvals and consents received from Administrative Agent as being that also of the Lenders, without obtaining separate acknowledgment or proof of authorization of same.
 
13.11  Defaulting Lenders. 
 
(a)  If any Lender (a "Defaulting Lender"; and, for purposes hereof, any Lenders that is not a Defaulting Lender, a "Non-Defaulting Lender") shall for any reason fail to (i) make any respective Loan required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) pay its Proportionate Share of an advance or disbursement to protect the Project or the lien of the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent and any of the Non-Defaulting Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make all or a portion of the Defaulting Lender's Proportionate Share of such advance; provided, however, that Administrative Agent or such Non-Defaulting Lender gives the Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent three (3) Business Days prior notice of its intention to do so. The right to make such advances in respect of the Defaulting Lender shall be exercisable first by Administrative Agent, and then by the Non-Defaulting Lender holding the greatest Proportionate Share, and thereafter to each of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in descending order of their respective Proportionate Shares or in such other manner as the Required Lenders (excluding the Defaulting Lender) may agree on. Any Lender making all or any portion of a Defaulting Lender's Proportionate Share of the applicable Loan advance in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions shall be referred to as a "Special Advance Lender." Subject to a Defaulting Lender's right to cure as provided in Section 13.11(f), but notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Defaulting Lender's interest in, and any amounts due to a Defaulting Lender under, the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all principal, interest, fees and expenses) shall be subordinate in lien priority and to the repayment of all amounts (including, without limitation, interest) then or thereafter due or to become due to the other Lenders under the Loan Documents, and the Defaulting Lender thereafter shall have no right to participate in any discussions among and/or decisions by the Lenders hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents. Further, subject to Section 13.11(f) below, any Defaulting Lender shall be bound by any amendment to, or waiver of, any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent and/or the other Lenders under, any Loan Document which is made subsequent to the Defaulting Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender and, during such period, the Loan Commitment of and outstanding principal amount held by such Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded in any determination requiring the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders hereunder.
 
(b)  In any case where a Non-Defaulting Lender becomes a Special Advance Lender (i) the Special Advance Lender shall, at the election of such Special Advance Lender, be deemed to have purchased, and the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have sold, a senior participation in the Defaulting Lender's respective Loans to the extent of the amount so advanced or disbursed (the "Advanced Amount") bearing interest at the Applicable Interest Rate (including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable) and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall have no voting rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (and its Proportionate Share shall be disregarded in determining whether any act or decision requiring the approval of the Required Lenders shall have been approved) so long as it is a Defaulting Lender. It is expressly understood and agreed that each of the respective obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including to advance Loans, to share losses incurred in connection with the Loan, including costs and expenses of enforcement of the Loans, to make advances to preserve the lien of the Security Instrument or to preserve and protect the Project or to effect Completion of the Improvements to be constructed pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall be without regard to any adjustment in the Proportionate Shares occasioned by the acts of a Defaulting Lender. The Special Advance Lender shall be entitled to an amount (the "Unpaid Amount") equal to the applicable Advanced Amount, plus any unpaid interest due and owing with respect thereto, less any repayments thereof made by the Defaulting Lender immediately upon demand. The Defaulting Lender shall have the right to repurchase the senior participation in its Loans from the Special Advance Lender pursuant to Section 13.11(f) below by the payment of the Unpaid Amount.
 
(c)  A Special Advance Lender shall (i) give notice to the Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders (provided that failure to deliver said notice to any party other than the Defaulting Lender shall not constitute a default under this Agreement) of the Advance Amount and the percentage of the Special Advance Lender's senior participation in the Defaulting Lender's Loans and (ii) in the event of the repayment of any of the Unpaid Amount by the Defaulting Lender, give notice to the Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders of the fact that the Unpaid Amount has been repaid (in whole or in part), the amount of such repayment and, if applicable, the revised percentage of the Special Advance Lender's senior participation. Provided that Administrative Agent has received notice of such participation, Administrative Agent shall have the same obligations to distribute interest, principal and other sums received by Administrative Agent with respect to a Special Advance Lender's senior participation as Administrative Agent has with respect to the distribution of interest, principal and other sums under this Agreement; and at the time of making any distributions to the Lenders, shall make payments to the Special Advance Lender with respect to a Special Advance Lender's senior participation in the Defaulting Lender's Loans out of the Defaulting Lender's share of any such distributions. 
 
(d)  A Defaulting Lender shall immediately pay to a Special Advance Lender all sums of any kind paid to or received by the Defaulting Lender from the Borrower, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in connection with the realization of the security therefor until the Unpaid Amount is fully repaid. Notwithstanding the fact that the Defaulting Lender may temporarily hold such sums, the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to hold same as a trustee for the benefit of the Special Advance Lender, it being the express intention of the Lenders that the Special Advance Lender shall have an ownership interest in such sums to the extent of the Unpaid Amount.
 
(e)  Nothing contained in Section 13.11(a), 13.11(f) or 13.11(h) shall release or in any way limit a Defaulting Lender's obligations as a Lender hereunder and/or under any other of the Loan Documents or impair the Borrower's right to exercise its remedies against such Defaulting Lender which remedies shall include, without limitation, the recovery of any losses, costs and expenses incurred as a result thereof Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and interest at the Default Rate) which they may sustain or incur by reason of the Defaulting Lender's failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except to the extent a Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent and/or any Lender. Administrative Agent shall, after payment of any amounts due to any Special Advance Lender pursuant to the terms of Section 13.11(c) above, set-off against any payments due to such Defaulting Lender for the claims of Administrative Agent and the other Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to this indemnity.
 
(f)  A Defaulting Lender may cure a default arising out its failure to fund its Proportionate Share of an advance or to make any respective Loan required pursuant to this Agreement, and subject to the following, upon such cure shall no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, if, within five (5) days (the "Default Cure Period") of such default, it pays the full amount of the Unpaid Amount, together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such Advanced Amount was so paid by the Special Advance Lender until the date the Special Advance Lender recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in the event such cure is made within three (3) Business Days of such default; provided, however, if such Defaulting Lender fails to cure such default within such three (3) Business Days, the Special Advance Lender shall be entitled to recover, and such Defaulting Lender shall pay, such amount, on demand from Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on such third (3rd) Business Day until the date the Special Advance Lender recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate for each such day. If a Defaulting Lender pays the Unpaid Amount and interest due thereon within the Default Cure Period (or thereafter with the consent of Administrative Agent), such Defaulting Lender nonetheless shall be bound by any amendment to or waiver of any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent and/or the other Lenders under, any Loan Document which is made subsequent to the Lender's becoming a Defaulting Lender and prior to its curing the default as provided in this Section 13.11(f); provided that such amendment or waiver of action was taken in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. A Defaulting Lender shall have absolutely no right to cure any default after the expiration of the Default Cure Period unless Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, elects to permit such cure. 
 
(g)  If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and none of the other Lenders becomes a Special Advance Lender pursuant to Section 13.11(a), the Borrower shall have the right, provided there exists no Default or Event of Default that has not arisen as a result of the Defaulting Lender's failure to fund, to cause another financial institution acceptable to Administrative Agent to assume the Defaulting Lender's obligations with respect to the Advance Amount on the then-existing terms and conditions of the Loan Documents (such replacement institution, a "Replacement Lender"). It shall be a condition to such assumption that the Replacement Lender concurrently assumes the obligations of the Defaulting Lender with respect to the unfunded portion of the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender. Such assumption shall be pursuant to a written instrument reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Upon such assumption, the Replacement Lender shall become a "Lender" for all purposes hereunder, with a Loan Commitment in an amount equal to the Advance Amount, and the Defaulting Lender's Loan Commitment shall automatically be reduced by the Advance Amount. In connection with the foregoing, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Replacement Lender and the Defaulting Lender Replacement Notes. Such Replacement Notes shall be in amounts equal to, in the case of the Replacement Lender's note, the Advance Amount and, in the case of the Defaulting Lender's note, its Commitment, as reduced as aforesaid. Such replacement notes shall constitute "Notes" and the obligations evidenced thereby shall be secured by the Security Instrument. In connection with the Borrower's execution of replacement notes as aforesaid, the Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent such evidence of the due authorization, execution and delivery of the replacement notes and any related documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The execution and delivery of replacement notes as required above shall be a condition precedent to any further advances of Loan proceeds. Upon receipt of its replacement note, the Defaulting Lender will return to the Borrower its note(s) that was replaced; provided that the delivery of a replacement note to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 13.11(g) shall operate to void and replace the note(s) previously held by the Defaulting Lender regardless of whether or not the Defaulting Lender returns same as required hereby.
 
(h)  In addition to the foregoing, in the event the Defaulting Lender has not cured such default within the Default Cure Period, Administrative Agent (unless the Lender serving in the capacity of Administrative Agent is the Defaulting Lender) and the Non-Defaulting Lenders, shall, in accordance with the priority established pursuant to Section 13.11(a) above, be entitled to purchase such Defaulting Lender's entire Loan Commitment, excluding accrued and unpaid interest thereon, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal balance of all Loans which have been funded by such Defaulting Lender as of the date of such purchase.
 
(i)  The Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall, at the Borrower's expense solely with respect to Administrative Agent's reasonable costs and expenses in connection therewith, execute such modifications to the Loan Documents as shall, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, be necessary in order to effect the substitution of Lenders in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.11(i). The Lenders shall reasonably cooperate with the Borrower's attempts to obtain a Replacement Lender, but they shall not be obligated to modify the Loan Documents in connection therewith, other than modifications pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph.
 
13.12  Amendments Concerning Agency Functions
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not be bound by any Modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which affects its duties, rights, and/or functions hereunder or thereunder unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.
 
13.13  Liability of Administrative Agent
. Administrative Agent shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to the Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender (other than Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender) to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
 
13.14  Transfer of Agency Function
. Without the consent of the Borrower or any Lender, Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as Administrative Agent hereunder to any of its offices wherever located in the United States; provided that Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.
 
13.15  Sharing of Payments, Etc.
If any Lender shall obtain from the Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker's lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by the Borrower to such Lender than the percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Lenders. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Each Lender agrees that it shall turn over to Administrative Agent (for distribution by Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) on account of the Loans held by it in excess of its ratable portion of payments on account of the Loans obtained by all the Lenders. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or Obligation of the Borrower. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which Section 14.10 applies, then such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under Section 14.10 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
 
13.16  Bankruptcy of Borrower
. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against the Borrower or any Guarantor, Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof of claim on behalf of the Lenders. Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such proceedings.
 
13.17  Termination
. The rights and obligations of Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall terminate when the Obligations of Borrower hereunder have been paid and finally discharged in full and the obligations of the Lenders to advance funds to the Borrower under this Agreement are terminated or, if the Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent's nominee takes title to the Project by foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, when the Project is thereafter sold to a third-party purchaser. All indemnification provisions in favor of Administrative Agent herein and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the termination hereof.

14.8  Survival
. The obligations of Borrower under Sections 5.1, 5.5, 5.7, 14.3, 14.4, and 14.11, and the obligations of the Lenders under Sections 13.5 and 13.11(e), shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments and, in the case of any Lender that may assign any interest under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms thereof including any Lender's interest in its Commitment or Loans hereunder, shall survive the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that such assigning Lender may cease to be a "Lender" hereunder. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a Request for Loan Advance, herein or pursuant hereto by Borrower shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and no Lender shall be deemed to have waived, by reason of making any Loan, any Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that such Lender or Administrative Agent may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such Loan was made.
 
14.9  Multiple Copies
. Each document to be delivered to Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be delivered in duplicate.
 
14.10  Right of Set-off.
 
(a)  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each of the Lenders is, subject (as between the Lenders) to the provisions of Section 14.10(c) of this Section 14.10, hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held, and other indebtedness at any time owing, by such Lender in any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the respective obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or any other Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured and such deposits or indebtedness may be unmatured. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of offset, set-off, banker's lien, or similar rights against any deposit or other indebtedness of Borrower whether or not located in Colorado or any other state with certain laws restricting lenders from pursuing multiple collection methods, could result under such laws in significant impairment of the ability of all the Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Loan. Therefore, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, banker's lien, or otherwise, against any assets of Borrower (including all general or special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits and other indebtedness owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.
 
(b)  Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Lenders under this Section 14.10 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Lenders may have.
 
(c)  If an Event of Default has resulted in the Loans becoming due and payable prior to the stated maturity thereof, each Lender agrees that it shall turn over to Administrative Agent any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) on account of the Loans held by it in excess of its ratable portion of payments on account of the Loans obtained by all the Lenders.
 
14.11  Brokers
. Borrower hereby represents to Administrative Agent and each Lender that it has not dealt with any broker, underwriters, placement agent, or finder in connection with the Transactions. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Transactions.

14.22  Confidentiality
. Each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information that may be disclosed (a) to its Subsidiaries and Affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 14.22, to (i) any assignee or pledgee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee or pledgee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 14.22 or (ii) becomes available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 14.22, "Information" shall mean all information received from or on behalf of Borrower relating to Borrower, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower; provided that in the case of information received from Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 14.22 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the information subject to this Section 14.22 shall not include, and Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the "tax treatment" and "tax structure" (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Administrative Agent or such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans and transactions contemplated hereby.
 
14.23  Usury Savings Clause
. It is the intention of Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders to conform strictly to the usury and similar laws relating to interest payable on loans from time to time in force, and all Loan Documents between Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether oral or written, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by acceleration of maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid in the aggregate to the Lenders as interest (whether or not designated as interest, and including any amount otherwise designated by or deemed to constitute interest by a court of competent jurisdiction) hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or in any other agreement given to secure the Loans, or in any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the Loans, exceed the maximum amount (the "Maximum Rate") permissible under Applicable Laws. If under any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, at the time performance of such provisions shall be due, shall involve exceeding the Maximum Rate, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate. For purposes of calculating the actual amount of interest paid and/or payable hereunder in respect of laws pertaining to usury or such other laws, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loans evidenced hereby, outstanding from time to time shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, pro-rated, allocated and spread from the date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Notes until payment in full of all of such indebtedness, so that the actual rate of interest on account of such Loans is uniform through the term hereof. If under any circumstances any Lender shall ever receive an amount which would exceed the Maximum Rate, such amount shall be deemed a payment in reduction of the principal amount of the applicable Loans and shall be treated as a voluntary prepayment under this Agreement and shall be so applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or if such excessive interest exceeds the outstanding amount of the applicable Loans and any other Obligations, the excess shall be deemed to have been a payment made by mistake and shall be refunded to Borrower.
 
14.24  Controlled Accounts
. Borrower hereby agrees with Administrative Agent, as to any Controlled Account into which this Agreement requires Borrower to deposit funds, as follows:
 
(a)  Establishment and Maintenance of the Controlled Account.
 
(i)  Each Controlled Account (1) shall be a separate and identifiable account from all other funds held by the Depository Bank and (2) shall contain only funds required to be deposited pursuant to this Agreement. Any interest which may accrue on the amounts on deposit in a Controlled Account shall be added to and shall become part of the balance of such Controlled Account. Borrower, Administrative Agent and the applicable Depository Bank shall enter into an agreement (the "Controlled Account Agreement"), in form and content acceptable to Administrative Agent which shall govern the Controlled Account and the rights, duties and obligations of each party to the Controlled Account Agreement.
 
(ii)  The Controlled Account Agreement shall provide that (1) the Controlled Account shall be established in the name of Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders), (2) the Controlled Account shall be subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of Administrative Agent, and (3) neither Borrower nor any other Person, including, without limitation, any Person claiming on behalf of or through Borrower, shall have any right or authority, whether express or implied, to make use of or withdraw, or cause the use or withdrawal of, any proceeds from the Controlled Account or any of the other proceeds deposited in the Controlled Account, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in the Controlled Account Agreement.
 
(b)  Deposits to and Disbursements from the Controlled Account. All deposits to and disbursements of all or any portion of the deposits to the Controlled Account shall be in accordance with this Agreement and the Controlled Account Agreement. Any disbursement of funds held in any Controlled Account shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent to the making of a Loan advance by the Lenders hereunder (including, without limitation, that no Event of Default then exists, and that Borrower shall have submitted a written request for such amount in accordance with the procedures generally applicable to advances of the Loan). Borrower hereby agrees to pay any and all fees charged by Depository Bank in connection with the maintenance of the Controlled Account and the performance of its duties. Under no circumstances shall Administrative Agent or the Lenders be obligated to make advances of the Loan while funds are available in a Controlled Account to pay for costs of the Construction Work.
 
(c)  Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants a first priority security interest in favor of Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in each Controlled Account and all financial assets and other property and sums at any time held, deposited or invested therein, and all security entitlements and investment property relating thereto, together with any interest or other earnings thereon, and all proceeds thereof, whether accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, deposit accounts, instruments, documents or securities (collectively, "Controlled Account Collateral"), together with all rights of a secured party with respect thereto (even if no further documentation is requested by Administrative Agent or the Lenders or executed by Borrower with respect thereto).
 
14.25  Financing Statements
. Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to file such financing statements (and any continuations statements with respect thereto) under the Uniform Commercial Code as Administrative Agent may deem necessary in order to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest granted or to be granted to Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, in such jurisdictions as Administrative Agent may elect.
 
14.26  Unavoidable Delay
. If the work of construction is directly affected and delayed by an Unavoidable Delay, Borrower must notify Administrative Agent in writing within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of any such Unavoidable Delay. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such notice has been given in a timely manner, and provided further that in each case, (a) the cause of the Unavoidable Delay is not within the control of Borrower, (b) after giving effect to the consequences of each such delay, the Loans shall remain In Balance, (c) after giving effect to the consequences of each such delay, the Qualified Purchase Contracts remain in full force and effect, (d) Borrower shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the delay caused by such event of Unavoidable Delay, and (e) Administrative Agent reasonably acknowledges that such delay is due to one of the foregoing causes (which acknowledgment shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), then Administrative Agent shall extend the Completion Date and the time for performance of any other construction obligations hereunder by a period of time equal to the period of such Unavoidable Delay. No such extension shall affect the time for performance of, or otherwise modify, any of Borrower's other Obligations under the Loan Documents or the maturity of the Notes. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable in any way for Administrative Agent's or such Lender's failure to perform or delay in performing under the Loan Documents, and Administrative Agent may suspend or terminate all or any portion of its and the Lenders' obligations under the Loan Documents if such delay or failure to perform results directly or indirectly from, or is based upon, an Unavoidable Delay.

Insurance Requirements
 
Borrower shall, while any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document remains outstanding, maintain at Borrower’s sole expense, with licensed insurers approved by Administrative Agent, the following policies of insurance in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms used in this Article shall have the same meaning as such terms are commonly and presently defined in the insurance industry.

TITLE INSURANCE.
A Title Policy, together with any endorsements which Administrative Agent may require, insuring Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, in the principal amount of the Loan, of the validity and the priority of the lien of the Deed of Trust upon the Property and Improvements, subject only to matters approved by Administrative Agent in writing. During the term of the Loan, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days of Administrative Agent’s written request, such other endorsements to the Title Policy as Administrative Agent may reasonably require with respect to the Property.

PROPERTY INSURANCE.
A Builders All Risk/Special Form Completed Value (Non-Reporting Form) Hazard Insurance policy, including without limitation, theft coverage and such other coverages and endorsements as Administrative Agent may require, insuring Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders against damage to the Property and Improvements in an amount not less than 100% of the full replacement cost at the time of completion of the Improvements. Such coverage should adequately insure any and all Loan collateral, whether such collateral is onsite, stored offsite or otherwise. Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, shall be named on the policy as Mortgagee and named under a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement (form #438BFU or equivalent).

FLOOD HAZARD INSURANCE.
A policy of flood insurance, as required by applicable governmental regulations, or as deemed necessary by Administrative Agent, in an amount required by Administrative Agent, but in no event less than the amount sufficient to meet the requirements of applicable law and governmental regulation.

LIABILITY INSURANCE.
A policy of Commercial General Liability insurance on an occurrence basis, with coverages and limits as required by Administrative Agent, insuring against liability for injury and/or death to any person and/or damage to any property occurring on the Property and/or in the Improvements. During the period of any construction, Borrower may cause its contractors and/or subcontractors to maintain in full force and effect any or all of the liability insurance required hereunder. Administrative Agent may require that Borrower be named as an additional insured on any such policy. Whether Borrower employs a general contractor or performs as owner-builder, Administrative Agent may require that coverage include statutory workers’ compensation insurance.

OTHER COVERAGE. 
Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent evidence of such other reasonable insurance in such reasonable amounts as Administrative Agent may from time to time request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the subject Property located in or around the region in which the subject Property is located. Such coverage requirements may include but are not limited to coverage for earthquake, acts of terrorism, business income, delayed business income, rental loss, sink hole, soft costs, tenant improvement or environmental.

GENERAL.
Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent insurance certificates or other evidence of coverage in form acceptable to Administrative Agent, with coverage amounts, deductibles, limits and retentions as required by Administrative Agent. All insurance policies shall provide that the coverage shall not be cancelable or materially changed without 10 days prior written notice to Administrative Agent of any cancellation for nonpayment of premiums, and not less than 30 days prior written notice to Administrative Agent of any other cancellation or any modification (including a reduction in coverage). Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders shall be named under a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement (form #438BFU or equivalent) on all insurance policies which Borrower actually maintains with respect to the Property and Improvements. All insurance policies shall be issued and maintained by insurers approved to do business in the state in which the Property is located and must have an A.M. Best Company financial rating and policyholder surplus acceptable to Administrative Agent.

COMPLETION GUARANTY AGREEMENT
 
In order to induce WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as Administrative Agent under the Construction Loan Agreement for the Lenders therein (hereinafter, together with its successors and assigns, referred to as the "Bank"), to make advances to THE CHALETS AT THE LODGE AT VAIL, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as the "Borrower"), in connection with a construction loan, pursuant to and in accordance with a Construction Loan Agreement, dated as of even date herewith, by and between the Borrower and the Bank (hereinafter referred to as the "Construction Loan Agreement") and evidenced by one or more promissory notes of even date herewith in the maximum aggregate principal amount not to exceed $123,000,000 (hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the "Note"), the undersigned, THE VAIL CORPORATION, a Colorado corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Guarantor"), hereby agrees as follows pursuant to this Completion Guaranty Agreement (this "Guaranty"):
 
1.  Subject to the terms hereof, the Guarantor unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to the Bank, following an Event of Default by Borrower, completion of construction of the Improvements (as defined in the Construction Loan Agreement) in the manner required by the Construction Loan Agreement, the Note and the other documents and instruments executed in connection therewith (all of the foregoing being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Loan Documents"). Specifically, following an Event of Default under the Loan Documents by Borrower and written request to Guarantor from Bank for performance hereunder, the Guarantor agrees:
 
(a)  to perform, complete, and pay for the construction of the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, as such Plans and Specifications have been or may be modified or amended from time to time, within the time period allotted therefor (if any) including all extensions thereof, and to pay all costs of said construction and all costs associated therewith if the Borrower shall fail to perform or complete such work as required by the Construction Loan Agreement;
 
(b)  provided that such actions by the Bank are authorized pursuant to the Loan Documents and provided Guarantor has failed to perform its obligations pursuant to Paragraph 1(a) hereof and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Bank), to reimburse the Bank for all costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in taking possession of the property described in the deed of trust securing the Note (hereinafter referred to as the "Property") and constructing the Improvements (whether in whole or in part) in accordance with the Plans and Specifications as approved at the time the Bank takes possession of the Property subject to such modifications thereto as Bank shall determine are reasonably necessary provided that the same shall not materially increase Guarantor’s obligations hereunder (unless as a result of unforeseen site conditions which have been confirmed by an engineer reasonably acceptable to Guarantor), including, without limitation, any sums expended in excess of the principal amount of the Note and whether or not construction is actually completed;
 
(c)  if any mechanic’s or materialman’s liens should be filed, or should attach, with respect to the Property by reason of the construction undertaken pursuant to the Construction Loan Agreement, to cause the removal of such liens within 45 days after the recording thereof, or the posting of security against the consequences of their possible foreclosure and the procurement of title insurance policies or endorsements insuring the Bank against the consequences of the foreclosure or enforcement of such liens, if the Borrower shall fail to take such actions;
 
(d)  to pay the costs and fees of all contractors, architects and engineers employed by the Borrower or the Bank (to the extent permitted under the Loan Documents) to complete the Improvements if said costs and fees are not paid by the Borrower;
 
(e)  to pay the premiums for all policies of insurance required to be furnished by the Borrower pursuant to the Construction Loan Agreement if such premiums are not paid by the Borrower and written request from Lender has been given to Guarantor in connection with any of the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 1; and
 
(f)  to pay all of the Bank’s reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, incurred in the enforcement of this Guaranty and the provisions of the Loan Documents covered by this Guaranty.
 
2.  Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, following written request from Bank for performance by Guarantor hereunder to complete construction of the Improvements, Bank shall make available any undisbursed Commitments which are not subject to legal impairment to disbursement pursuant to a court order, a mechanic’s or materialman’s lien, a bankruptcy proceeding or notice to disburser and which have been designated in the Project Budget for the payment of Project Costs directly related to the construction of the Improvements. Such funds shall be disbursed only upon satisfaction by Guarantor of all requirements for disbursement set forth in the Construction Loan Agreement and in accordance with the disbursement procedures set forth in the Construction Loan Agreement, and any amendments thereof, except that Guarantor shall not be required to satisfy Borrower’s requirements set forth in Sections 6.1 (d) and 6.2 (a) and (c)(i), (or to cure any Events of Default by Borrower in connection with the matters addressed in those sections) nor shall Guarantor be obligated to repay to Bank and Lenders the Loans. In connection with Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, Guarantor shall be entitled to all rights of Borrower under the Construction Loan Agreement to reallocate the Borrower Contingency Fund so long as Guarantor has satisfied the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence. In the event that Guarantor does not satisfy all of the requirements for disbursement of Loans set forth hereinabove or does not comply with the disbursement procedures set forth in the Construction Loan Agreement in any material respect (and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days after request by Bank), or any representation warranty or certification made by Guarantor in the Representation Agreement shall prove to be false or misleading: (i) Bank shall have no further obligation to disburse any portion of the Commitments to Guarantor; (ii) Bank may pursue whatever remedies it may have available at law or in equity for breach of such terms and conditions; and (iii) at Bank’s option, to be exercised in its sole discretion, Guarantor shall perform the Completion Obligations at its sole cost and expense without any right or recourse to any portion of the Commitments or Bank may complete the Project itself or cause the Project to be completed by a third party and charge the entire cost thereof to Guarantor. In connection with the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, whenever it is necessary for Guarantor to cure an Event of Default in order to satisfy any such requirement or procedure for disbursements described herein, Guarantor shall have such time to cure an Event of Default as may be granted by Bank, in its sole discretion, but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days after Guarantor receives a request from Bank under Paragraph 1 for performance hereunder.
 
3.  This is a guaranty of performance and not of collection, and the Bank shall not be required to take any action against the Borrower (other than providing such notice to Borrower as is required hereunder or by the Construction Loan Agreement) or resort to any other security given for the performance of the Borrower’s obligations as a precondition to the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. Nothing herein shall constitute a guaranty of repayment of the Loan by Guarantor.
 
4.  The Bank, in its sole discretion, following the delivery of such notice to Borrower as is required hereunder or by the Construction Loan Agreement, may proceed to exercise any right or remedy which the Bank may have under this Guaranty or the Representation Agreement without pursuing or exhausting any right or remedy which it may have against the Borrower, against any other guarantor or against any other person or entity, and the Bank may proceed to exercise any right or remedy which the Bank may have under this Guaranty without regard to any actions or omissions of the Borrower or any other person or entity.
 
5.  The Guarantor authorizes the Bank, without notice to the Guarantor and without impairing the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, to exercise the Bank’s right to complete construction in accordance with the Construction Loan Agreement pursuant to the Plans and Specifications, and, subject to Paragraph 1(b), to add expenses incurred during the course of such completion to the Borrower’s principal obligations under the Loan (as defined in the Construction Loan Agreement). The Guarantor acknowledges that the Bank has no obligation to exercise such right, and that the Bank is entitled to make expenditures toward completion without actually completing construction. The Guarantor waives any claims, rights or defenses resulting from (a) the Bank’s proper exercise of its right to complete construction, and (b) the Bank’s failure to complete construction. The Guarantor agrees that appropriate expenses to complete construction in accordance with Paragraph 1(b) hereof, include, without limitation, payments to release liens, payments to contractors, laborers, materialmen and suppliers, purchase of equipment, services of experts, interest on amounts advanced, and all additional categories of expense, both hard and soft, set forth on the Project Budget defined in and attached to the Construction Loan Agreement.
 
6.  The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be direct and independent of any obligations of the Borrower to the Bank and absolute and unconditional irrespective of the validity, legality or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, or any other circumstances (except for those actions of the Bank in violation of the Loan Documents or applicable law) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor (including, without limitation, the finding or conclusions of any proceeding under the federal Bankruptcy code or of similar present or future federal or state law), it being agreed that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged except by payment or performance as herein provided.
 
7.  From and after the date that Guarantor satisfies the requirements for disbursements of Loans as set forth in paragraph 2 hereof, and so long as there shall occur no other Event of Default, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Loans at the LIBOR-Based Rate. In addition, Bank agrees to forbear pursuit of remedies against Borrower for Events of Default during any period of time that Guarantor is performing its obligations hereunder and satisfying the requirements for disbursement of Loans pursuant paragraph 2 hereof.
 
8.  Without limiting the generality of Paragraph 5 above, the Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that, at any time and from time to time:
 
(a)  any action may be taken under any of the Loan Documents in the exercise of any remedy, power or privilege therein contained (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the maturity of the Note) or otherwise with respect thereto, or such remedy, power or privilege may be waived, omitted, or not enforced;
 
(b)  the time for the Borrower’s performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any of the Loan Documents may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to;
 
(c)  any of the Loan Documents (except this Guaranty), or any terms thereof may be amended or modified in any respect (including without limitation, with respect to interest on the Note); and
 
(d)  the Guarantor waives any rights it might otherwise have under Colorado Revised Statutes §§ 13-50-102 or 13-50-103 (or under any corresponding future statute or rule of law in any jurisdiction) by reason of any release of fewer than all of the guarantors of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, all in such manner and upon such terms as the Bank may deem proper, and without notice to or further assent from the Guarantor, and all without affecting this Guaranty or the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, which shall continue in full force and effect until all of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall have been fully paid and performed.
 
9.  The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, presentment, demand, protest, notice of the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Documents and any other notice of any kind whatsoever, with respect to any or all of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder and promptness in making any claim or demand hereunder; but no act or omission of any kind shall in any way affect or impair this Guaranty.
 
10.  The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows:
 
(a)  The Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction indicated in the first paragraph hereof and has all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to conduct its business, to own its properties and to execute and deliver, and to perform all of its obligations under, this Guaranty.
 
(b)  The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by Guarantor will not (i) require any consent or approval of any person, (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect having applicability to the Guarantor, or (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease or instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor or its properties may be bound or affected; and the Guarantor is not in default under any such law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award or any such indenture, agreement, lease or instrument.
 
(c)  This Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws or equitable principles relating to or affecting the rights of creditors and general principles of equity.
 
(d)  There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened against or affecting it or any of its assets before any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, which, if determined adversely to the Guarantor, would have a material adverse effect on any of his financial condition, properties, or operations.
 
(e)  No authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption of or filing or registration with any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, is or will be necessary to the valid execution, delivery or performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty.
 
11.  No failure or delay on the part of the Bank in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Bank (and Guarantor as to any modification or amendment of this Guaranty), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
 
12.  All notices, requests, demands, statements, authorizations, approvals, directions and other communications provided for herein shall be given or made in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given or served for all purposes as of the date (i) when hand delivered (provided that delivery shall be evidenced by a receipt executed by or on behalf of the addressee), (ii) one (1) Business Day after being sent by reputable overnight courier service (with delivery evidenced by written receipt), or (iii) with a simultaneous delivery by one of the shall mean in clause (i) or (ii) above, by facsimile, when sent, with confirmation and a copy sent by first class mail, in each case addressed to the intended recipient at the address specified below; or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each other party hereto.

In the event that Guarantor does not satisfy all of the requirements for disbursement of Loans set forth hereinabove or does not comply with the disbursement procedures set forth in the Construction Loan Agreement in any material respect (and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days after request by Bank), or any representation warranty or certification made by Guarantor in the Representation Agreement shall prove to be false or misleading: (i) Bank shall have no further obligation to disburse any portion of the Commitments to Guarantor; (ii) Bank may pursue whatever remedies it may have available at law or in equity for breach of such terms and conditions; and (iii) at Bank’s option, to be exercised in its sole discretion, Guarantor shall perform the Completion Obligations at its sole cost and expense without any right or recourse to any portion of the Commitments or Bank may complete the Project itself or cause the Project to be completed by a third party and charge the entire cost thereof to Guarantor. In connection with the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, whenever it is necessary for Guarantor to cure an Event of Default in order to satisfy any such requirement or procedure for disbursements described herein, Guarantor shall have such time to cure an Event of Default as may be granted by Bank, in its sole discretion, but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days after Guarantor receives a request from Bank under Paragraph 1 for performance hereunder.
 
3.  This is a guaranty of performance and not of collection, and the Bank shall not be required to take any action against the Borrower (other than providing such notice to Borrower as is required hereunder or by the Construction Loan Agreement) or resort to any other security given for the performance of the Borrower’s obligations as a precondition to the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. Nothing herein shall constitute a guaranty of repayment of the Loan by Guarantor.
 
4.  The Bank, in its sole discretion, following the delivery of such notice to Borrower as is required hereunder or by the Construction Loan Agreement, may proceed to exercise any right or remedy which the Bank may have under this Guaranty or the Representation Agreement without pursuing or exhausting any right or remedy which it may have against the Borrower, against any other guarantor or against any other person or entity, and the Bank may proceed to exercise any right or remedy which the Bank may have under this Guaranty without regard to any actions or omissions of the Borrower or any other person or entity.
 
5.  The Guarantor authorizes the Bank, without notice to the Guarantor and without impairing the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, to exercise the Bank’s right to complete construction in accordance with the Construction Loan Agreement pursuant to the Plans and Specifications, and, subject to Paragraph 1(b), to add expenses incurred during the course of such completion to the Borrower’s principal obligations under the Loan (as defined in the Construction Loan Agreement). The Guarantor acknowledges that the Bank has no obligation to exercise such right, and that the Bank is entitled to make expenditures toward completion without actually completing construction. The Guarantor waives any claims, rights or defenses resulting from (a) the Bank’s proper exercise of its right to complete construction, and (b) the Bank’s failure to complete construction. The Guarantor agrees that appropriate expenses to complete construction in accordance with Paragraph 1(b) hereof, include, without limitation, payments to release liens, payments to contractors, laborers, materialmen and suppliers, purchase of equipment, services of experts, interest on amounts advanced, and all additional categories of expense, both hard and soft, set forth on the Project Budget defined in and attached to the Construction Loan Agreement.
 
6.  The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be direct and independent of any obligations of the Borrower to the Bank and absolute and unconditional irrespective of the validity, legality or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, or any other circumstances (except for those actions of the Bank in violation of the Loan Documents or applicable law) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor (including, without limitation, the finding or conclusions of any proceeding under the federal Bankruptcy code or of similar present or future federal or state law), it being agreed that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged except by payment or performance as herein provided.
 
7.  From and after the date that Guarantor satisfies the requirements for disbursements of Loans as set forth in paragraph 2 hereof, and so long as there shall occur no other Event of Default, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Loans at the LIBOR-Based Rate. In addition, Bank agrees to forbear pursuit of remedies against Borrower for Events of Default during any period of time that Guarantor is performing its obligations hereunder and satisfying the requirements for disbursement of Loans pursuant paragraph 2 hereof.
 
8.  Without limiting the generality of Paragraph 5 above, the Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that, at any time and from time to time:
 
(a)  any action may be taken under any of the Loan Documents in the exercise of any remedy, power or privilege therein contained (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the maturity of the Note) or otherwise with respect thereto, or such remedy, power or privilege may be waived, omitted, or not enforced;
 
(b)  the time for the Borrower’s performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any of the Loan Documents may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to;
 
(c)  any of the Loan Documents (except this Guaranty), or any terms thereof may be amended or modified in any respect (including without limitation, with respect to interest on the Note); and
 
(d)  the Guarantor waives any rights it might otherwise have under Colorado Revised Statutes §§ 13-50-102 or 13-50-103 (or under any corresponding future statute or rule of law in any jurisdiction) by reason of any release of fewer than all of the guarantors of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, all in such manner and upon such terms as the Bank may deem proper, and without notice to or further assent from the Guarantor, and all without affecting this Guaranty or the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, which shall continue in full force and effect until all of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall have been fully paid and performed.
 
9.  The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, presentment, demand, protest, notice of the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Documents and any other notice of any kind whatsoever, with respect to any or all of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder and promptness in making any claim or demand hereunder; but no act or omission of any kind shall in any way affect or impair this Guaranty.
 
10.  The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows:
 
(a)  The Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction indicated in the first paragraph hereof and has all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to conduct its business, to own its properties and to execute and deliver, and to perform all of its obligations under, this Guaranty.
 
(b)  The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by Guarantor will not (i) require any consent or approval of any person, (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect having applicability to the Guarantor, or (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease or instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor or its properties may be bound or affected; and the Guarantor is not in default under any such law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award or any such indenture, agreement, lease or instrument.
 
(c)  This Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws or equitable principles relating to or affecting the rights of creditors and general principles of equity.
 
(d)  There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened against or affecting it or any of its assets before any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, which, if determined adversely to the Guarantor, would have a material adverse effect on any of his financial condition, properties, or operations.
 
(e)  No authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption of or filing or registration with any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, is or will be necessary to the valid execution, delivery or performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty.
 
11.  No failure or delay on the part of the Bank in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Bank (and Guarantor as to any modification or amendment of this Guaranty), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
 
12.  All notices, requests, demands, statements, authorizations, approvals, directions and other communications provided for herein shall be given or made in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given or served for all purposes as of the date (i) when hand delivered (provided that delivery shall be evidenced by a receipt executed by or on behalf of the addressee), (ii) one (1) Business Day after being sent by reputable overnight courier service (with delivery evidenced by written receipt), or (iii) with a simultaneous delivery by one of the shall mean in clause (i) or (ii) above, by facsimile, when sent, with confirmation and a copy sent by first class mail, in each case addressed to the intended recipient at the address specified below; or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each other party hereto.

A. Guarantor is executing this Guaranty to induce Bank to make a loan to The Chalets at the Lodge at Vail, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company ("Borrower"), in the maximum principal amount of $123,000,000.00 (the "Loan").

This Guaranty is one of several loan documents, as defined and designated in the Loan Agreement. The loan documents also include the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Deed of Trust and certain other specified instruments and agreements.

The purpose of this Guaranty is for Guarantor to guarantee Borrower’s satisfaction of its obligations under the Town Development Agreement.
 
D. The obligations that Guarantor is guaranteeing pursuant to this Agreement are part of the Borrower’s obligations under the Town Development Agreement that are required to be completed in order to achieve Completion (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
 
E. Each capitalized term used herein and not otherwise defined has the meaning given to such term in the Loan Agreement.
 
GUARANTY
 
NOW, THEREFORE, In consideration of the above recitals, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
 
1.  Subject to the terms hereof, Guarantor unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to Bank: (i) the completion of the construction of all of the improvements and performance of all obligations (the "Improvements") required to be constructed and performed by Borrower pursuant to the Town Development Agreement which are a condition to approval of the Project by the Town or the issuance of certificates of occupancy for the Project, as set forth in the Town Development Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference; (ii) the payment of all monetary obligations of Borrower under the Town Development Agreement which are a condition to approval of the Project by the Town or the issuance of certificates of occupancy for the Project,; and (iii) the satisfaction of all of Borrower’s other obligations under the Town Development Agreement which are a condition to approval of the Project by the Town or the issuance of certificates of occupancy for the Project (collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations"). Specifically, after written request to Guarantor from Bank for performance hereunder, Guarantor agrees that:
 
(a)  following Borrower’s failure to complete the construction of all or any portion of the Improvements in accordance with the terms of the Town Development Agreement, Guarantor shall complete construction of such Improvements, within the time period allotted therefor (if any) including all extensions thereof, and pay all costs of said construction and all costs associated therewith;
 
(b)  following Borrower’s failure to pay all or any portion of the costs and fees of all contractors, architects and engineers employed by the Borrower or Bank to complete construction of all or any portion of the Improvements in accordance with the terms of the Town Development Agreement, Guarantor shall pay all of such unpaid costs and fees;
 
(c)  following Borrower’s failure to pay all or any portion of any monetary obligations of Borrower under the Town Development Agreement, including, but not limited to, the traffic impact fee set forth in Section 7 of the Town Development Agreement, Guarantor shall pay all of such unpaid monetary obligations;
 
(d)  following Borrower’s failure to satisfy any other obligation of Borrower under the Town Development Agreement not covered by (a) through (c), Guarantor shall fully satisfy such obligation, at Guarantor’s sole cost and expense;
 
(e)  provided Guarantor has failed to perform its obligations pursuant to (a) through (d) above and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Bank, Guarantor shall reimburse Bank for all costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in satisfying (whether in whole or in part) any of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the Town Development Agreement, including, without limitation, any sums expended in excess of the principal amount of the Note and whether or not satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations are actually completed; and
 
(f)  Guarantor shall pay all of the Bank’s reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, incurred in the enforcement of this Guaranty and the provisions of the Town Development Agreement covered by this Guaranty.
 
2.  Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, following written request from Bank for performance by Guarantor hereunder to satisfy any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Bank shall make available any undisbursed Commitments which are not subject to legal impairment to disbursement pursuant to a court order, a mechanic’s or materialman’s lien, a bankruptcy proceeding or notice to disburser and which have been designated in the Project Budget for the satisfaction of such Guaranteed Obligations. Improvements not included in Bank’s approved Project Budget shall be completed at the sole cost and expense of the Guarantor. Such funds shall be disbursed only upon satisfaction by Guarantor of all requirements for disbursement set forth in the Loan Agreement and in accordance with the disbursement procedures set forth in the Loan Agreement, and any amendments thereof, except that Guarantor shall not be required to satisfy Borrower’s requirements set forth in Sections 6.1 (d) and 6.2 (a) and (c)(i), (or to cure any Events of Default by Borrower in connection with the matters addressed in those sections) nor shall Guarantor be obligated to repay to Bank and the Lenders the Loan. In connection with Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, Guarantor shall be entitled to all rights of Borrower under the Loan Agreement to reallocate the Contingency Fund so long as Guarantor has satisfied the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence. In the event that Guarantor does not satisfy all of the requirements for disbursement set forth hereinabove or any of the disbursement procedures set forth in the Loan Agreement in any material respect (and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days after request by Bank), or any representation warranty or certification made by Guarantor in the Representation Agreement shall prove to be false or misleading: (i) Bank shall have no further obligation to disburse any portion of the Commitments to Guarantor; (ii) Bank may pursue whatever remedies it may have available at law or in equity for breach of such terms and conditions; and (iii) at Bank’s option, to be exercised in its sole discretion, Guarantor shall perform the Guaranteed Obligations at its sole cost and expense without any right or recourse to any portion of the Commitments or Bank may complete the Guaranteed Obligations itself or cause the Guaranteed Obligations to be completed by a third party and charge the entire cost thereof to Guarantor. In connection with the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, whenever it is necessary for Guarantor to cure a Borrower Default in order to satisfy any such requirement or procedure for disbursements described herein, Guarantor shall have such time to cure a Borrower Default as may be granted by Bank, in its sole discretion, but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days after Guarantor receives a request from Bank under Paragraph 1 for performance hereunder.
 
3.  This is a guaranty of performance of the Town Development Agreement and not of collection of the Loan, and the Bank shall not be required to take any action against the Borrower (other than providing such notice to Borrower as is required hereunder or by the Loan Agreement) or resort to any other security given for the performance of the Borrower’s obligations as a precondition to the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. Nothing herein shall constitute a guaranty of repayment of the Loan by Guarantor.
 
4.  Bank, in its sole discretion, following the delivery of such notice to Borrower as is required hereunder or by the Loan Agreement, may proceed to exercise any right or remedy which the Bank may have under this Guaranty without pursuing or exhausting any right or remedy which it may have against the Borrower, against any other guarantor or against any other person or entity, and the Bank may proceed to exercise any right or remedy which the Bank may have under this Guaranty without regard to any actions or omissions of the Borrower or any other person or entity.
 
5.  The Guarantor authorizes the Bank, without notice to the Guarantor and without impairing the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, to exercise the Bank’s right to complete the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with this Guaranty, and, subject to Paragraph 1(e), to add expenses incurred during the course of such completion to the Borrower’s principal obligations under the Loan (as defined in Loan Agreement). The Guarantor acknowledges that the Bank has no obligation to exercise such right, and that the Bank is entitled to make expenditures toward completion without actually completing the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor waives any claims, rights or defenses resulting from (a) the Bank’s proper exercise of its right to complete the Guaranteed Obligations, and (b) the Bank’s failure to complete the Guaranteed Obligations.
 
6.  The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be direct and independent of any obligations of the Borrower to the Bank and absolute and unconditional irrespective of the validity, legality or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, or any other circumstances (except for those actions of the Bank in violation of the Loan Documents or applicable law) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor (including, without limitation, the finding or conclusions of any proceeding under the federal Bankruptcy code or of similar present or future federal or state law), it being agreed that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged except by payment or performance as herein provided.
 
7.  From and after the date that Guarantor satisfies the requirements for disbursements of Loans as set forth in paragraph 2 hereof, and so long as there shall occur no other Event of Default, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Loans at the LIBOR-Based Rate.
 
8.  Without limiting the generality of Paragraph 5 above, the Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that, at any time and from time to time:
 
(a)  any action may be taken under any of the Loan Documents in the exercise of any remedy, power or privilege therein contained (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the maturity of the Note) or otherwise with respect thereto, or such remedy, power or privilege may be waived, omitted, or not enforced;
 
(b)  the time for the Borrower’s performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any of the Loan Documents may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to;
 
(c)  any of the Loan Documents (except this Guaranty), or any terms thereof may be amended or modified in any respect (including without limitation, with respect to interest on the Note); and
 
(d)  the Guarantor waives any rights it might otherwise have under Colorado Revised Statutes §§ 13-50-102 or 13-50-103 (or under any corresponding future statute or rule of law in any jurisdiction) by reason of any release of fewer than all of the guarantors of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, all in such manner and upon such terms as the Bank may deem proper, and without notice to or further assent from the Guarantor, and all without affecting this Guaranty or the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, which shall continue in full force and effect until all of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall have been fully paid and performed.
 
9.  The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, presentment, demand, protest, notice of the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Documents and any other notice of any kind whatsoever, with respect to any or all of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder and promptness in making any claim or demand hereunder; but no act or omission of any kind shall in any way affect or impair this Guaranty.
 
10.  The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows:
 
(a)  The Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction indicated in the first paragraph hereof and has all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to conduct its business, to own its properties and to execute and deliver, and to perform all of its obligations under, this Guaranty.
 
(b)  The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by Guarantor will not (i) require any consent or approval of any person, (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect having applicability to the Guarantor, or (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease or instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor or its properties may be bound or affected; and the Guarantor is not in default under any such law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award or any such indenture, agreement, lease or instrument.
 
(c)  This Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws or equitable principles relating to or affecting the rights of creditors and general principles of equity.
 
(d)  There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened against or affecting it or any of its assets before any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, which, if determined adversely to the Guarantor, would have a material adverse effect on any of his financial condition, properties, or operations.
 
(e)  No authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption of or filing or registration with any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, is or will be necessary to the valid execution, delivery or performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty.
 
11.  No failure or delay on the part of the Bank in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Bank (and Guarantor as to any modification or amendment of this Guaranty), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
 
12.  All notices, requests, demands, statements, authorizations, approvals, directions and other communications provided for herein shall be given or made in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given or served for all purposes as of the date (i) when hand delivered (provided that delivery shall be evidenced by a receipt executed by or on behalf of the addressee), (ii) one (1) Business Day after being sent by reputable overnight courier service (with delivery evidenced by written receipt), or (iii) with a simultaneous delivery by one of the shall mean in clause (i) or (ii) above, by facsimile, when sent, with confirmation and a copy sent by first class mail, in each case addressed to the intended recipient at the address specified below; or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each other party hereto.

EXHIBIT A

Town Development Agreement
Exhibit 10.7


Exhibit 10.7
 
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT GUARANTY
 
This Development Agreement Guaranty ("Guaranty") is made as of March 19, 2007, by VAIL RESORTS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Guarantor"), in favor of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as Administrative Agent under the Loan Agreement (defined below) for the Lenders therein (hereinafter, together with its successors and assigns, referred to as the "Bank").
 
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
 
A. Guarantor is executing this Guaranty to induce Bank to make a loan to The Chalets at the Lodge at Vail, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company ("Borrower"), in the maximum principal amount of $123,000,000.00 (the "Loan"). The Loan is being made under that certain Construction Loan Agreement of even date herewith between Bank and Borrower (the "Loan Agreement").
 
B. The Loan is evidenced by one or more promissory notes of even date herewith (the "Note"). The Note is secured by, among other things, that certain Deed of Trust to Public Trustee, Security Agreement, Financing Statement, Assignment of Rents and Leases and Fixture Filing of even date herewith (the "Deed of Trust") covering certain real and personal property, as therein described (all collectively, the "Property"). This Guaranty is one of several loan documents, as defined and designated in the Loan Agreement. The loan documents also include the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Deed of Trust and certain other specified instruments and agreements.
 
C. The Borrower or a related party entered into that certain Front Door Development Agreement dated effective July 18, 2006, by and between the Town of Vail, and the Vail Corporation, d/b/a Vail Associates, Inc., as assigned to Borrower pursuant to an Assignment of Development Agreement dated March 19, 2007 (the "Town Development Agreement"); whereby Borrower, as successor in interest to such real property, is, under the terms of the Town Development Agreement obligated as part of the development of the Property to complete certain on-site and offsite improvements and perform other obligations, and the completion of certain of those improvements and the performance of those obligations is required in connection with the completion of the Project. The purpose of this Guaranty is for Guarantor to guarantee Borrower’s satisfaction of its obligations under the Town Development Agreement.
 
D. The obligations that Guarantor is guaranteeing pursuant to this Agreement are part of the Borrower’s obligations under the Town Development Agreement that are required to be completed in order to achieve Completion (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
 
E. Each capitalized term used herein and not otherwise defined has the meaning given to such term in the Loan Agreement.
 
GUARANTY
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
 
1.  Subject to the terms hereof, Guarantor unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to Bank: (i) the completion of the construction of all of the improvements and performance of all obligations (the "Improvements") required to be constructed and performed by Borrower pursuant to the Town Development Agreement which are a condition to approval of the Project by the Town or the issuance of certificates of occupancy for the Project, as set forth in the Town Development Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference; (ii) the payment of all monetary obligations of Borrower under the Town Development Agreement which are a condition to approval of the Project by the Town or the issuance of certificates of occupancy for the Project,; and (iii) the satisfaction of all of Borrower’s other obligations under the Town Development Agreement which are a condition to approval of the Project by the Town or the issuance of certificates of occupancy for the Project (collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations"). Specifically, after written request to Guarantor from Bank for performance hereunder, Guarantor agrees that:
 
(a)  following Borrower’s failure to complete the construction of all or any portion of the Improvements in accordance with the terms of the Town Development Agreement, Guarantor shall complete construction of such Improvements, within the time period allotted therefor (if any) including all extensions thereof, and pay all costs of said construction and all costs associated therewith;
 
(b)  following Borrower’s failure to pay all or any portion of the costs and fees of all contractors, architects and engineers employed by the Borrower or Bank to complete construction of all or any portion of the Improvements in accordance with the terms of the Town Development Agreement, Guarantor shall pay all of such unpaid costs and fees;
 
(c)  following Borrower’s failure to pay all or any portion of any monetary obligations of Borrower under the Town Development Agreement, including, but not limited to, the traffic impact fee set forth in Section 7 of the Town Development Agreement, Guarantor shall pay all of such unpaid monetary obligations;
 
(d)  following Borrower’s failure to satisfy any other obligation of Borrower under the Town Development Agreement not covered by (a) through (c), Guarantor shall fully satisfy such obligation, at Guarantor’s sole cost and expense;
 
(e)  provided Guarantor has failed to perform its obligations pursuant to (a) through (d) above and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Bank, Guarantor shall reimburse Bank for all costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in satisfying (whether in whole or in part) any of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the Town Development Agreement, including, without limitation, any sums expended in excess of the principal amount of the Note and whether or not satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations are actually completed; and
 
(f)  Guarantor shall pay all of the Bank’s reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, incurred in the enforcement of this Guaranty and the provisions of the Town Development Agreement covered by this Guaranty.
 
2.  Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, following written request from Bank for performance by Guarantor hereunder to satisfy any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Bank shall make available any undisbursed Commitments which are not subject to legal impairment to disbursement pursuant to a court order, a mechanic’s or materialman’s lien, a bankruptcy proceeding or notice to disburser and which have been designated in the Project Budget for the satisfaction of such Guaranteed Obligations. Improvements not included in Bank’s approved Project Budget shall be completed at the sole cost and expense of the Guarantor. Such funds shall be disbursed only upon satisfaction by Guarantor of all requirements for disbursement set forth in the Loan Agreement and in accordance with the disbursement procedures set forth in the Loan Agreement, and any amendments thereof, except that Guarantor shall not be required to satisfy Borrower’s requirements set forth in Sections 6.1 (d) and 6.2 (a) and (c)(i), (or to cure any Events of Default by Borrower in connection with the matters addressed in those sections) nor shall Guarantor be obligated to repay to Bank and the Lenders the Loan. In connection with Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, Guarantor shall be entitled to all rights of Borrower under the Loan Agreement to reallocate the Contingency Fund so long as Guarantor has satisfied the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence. In the event that Guarantor does not satisfy all of the requirements for disbursement set forth hereinabove or any of the disbursement procedures set forth in the Loan Agreement in any material respect (and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days after request by Bank), or any representation warranty or certification made by Guarantor in the Representation Agreement shall prove to be false or misleading: (i) Bank shall have no further obligation to disburse any portion of the Commitments to Guarantor; (ii) Bank may pursue whatever remedies it may have available at law or in equity for breach of such terms and conditions; and (iii) at Bank’s option, to be exercised in its sole discretion, Guarantor shall perform the Guaranteed Obligations at its sole cost and expense without any right or recourse to any portion of the Commitments or Bank may complete the Guaranteed Obligations itself or cause the Guaranteed Obligations to be completed by a third party and charge the entire cost thereof to Guarantor. In connection with the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, whenever it is necessary for Guarantor to cure a Borrower Default in order to satisfy any such requirement or procedure for disbursements described herein, Guarantor shall have such time to cure a Borrower Default as may be granted by Bank, in its sole discretion, but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days after Guarantor receives a request from Bank under Paragraph 1 for performance hereunder.
 
3.  This is a guaranty of performance of the Town Development Agreement and not of collection of the Loan, and the Bank shall not be required to take any action against the Borrower (other than providing such notice to Borrower as is required hereunder or by the Loan Agreement) or resort to any other security given for the performance of the Borrower’s obligations as a precondition to the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. Nothing herein shall constitute a guaranty of repayment of the Loan by Guarantor.
 
4.  Bank, in its sole discretion, following the delivery of such notice to Borrower as is required hereunder or by the Loan Agreement, may proceed to exercise any right or remedy which the Bank may have under this Guaranty without pursuing or exhausting any right or remedy which it may have against the Borrower, against any other guarantor or against any other person or entity, and the Bank may proceed to exercise any right or remedy which the Bank may have under this Guaranty without regard to any actions or omissions of the Borrower or any other person or entity.
 
5.  The Guarantor authorizes the Bank, without notice to the Guarantor and without impairing the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, to exercise the Bank’s right to complete the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with this Guaranty, and, subject to Paragraph 1(e), to add expenses incurred during the course of such completion to the Borrower’s principal obligations under the Loan (as defined in Loan Agreement). The Guarantor acknowledges that the Bank has no obligation to exercise such right, and that the Bank is entitled to make expenditures toward completion without actually completing the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor waives any claims, rights or defenses resulting from (a) the Bank’s proper exercise of its right to complete the Guaranteed Obligations, and (b) the Bank’s failure to complete the Guaranteed Obligations.
 
6.  The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be direct and independent of any obligations of the Borrower to the Bank and absolute and unconditional irrespective of the validity, legality or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, or any other circumstances (except for those actions of the Bank in violation of the Loan Documents or applicable law) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor (including, without limitation, the finding or conclusions of any proceeding under the federal Bankruptcy code or of similar present or future federal or state law), it being agreed that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged except by payment or performance as herein provided.
 
7.  From and after the date that Guarantor satisfies the requirements for disbursements of Loans as set forth in paragraph 2 hereof, and so long as there shall occur no other Event of Default, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Loans at the LIBOR-Based Rate.
 
8.  Without limiting the generality of Paragraph 5 above, the Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that, at any time and from time to time:
 
(a)  any action may be taken under any of the Loan Documents in the exercise of any remedy, power or privilege therein contained (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the maturity of the Note) or otherwise with respect thereto, or such remedy, power or privilege may be waived, omitted, or not enforced;
 
(b)  the time for the Borrower’s performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any of the Loan Documents may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to;
 
(c)  any of the Loan Documents (except this Guaranty), or any terms thereof may be amended or modified in any respect (including without limitation, with respect to interest on the Note); and
 
(d)  the Guarantor waives any rights it might otherwise have under Colorado Revised Statutes §§ 13-50-102 or 13-50-103 (or under any corresponding future statute or rule of law in any jurisdiction) by reason of any release of fewer than all of the guarantors of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, all in such manner and upon such terms as the Bank may deem proper, and without notice to or further assent from the Guarantor, and all without affecting this Guaranty or the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, which shall continue in full force and effect until all of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall have been fully paid and performed.
 
9.  The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, presentment, demand, protest, notice of the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Documents and any other notice of any kind whatsoever, with respect to any or all of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder and promptness in making any claim or demand hereunder; but no act or omission of any kind shall in any way affect or impair this Guaranty.
 
10.  The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows:
 
(a)  The Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction indicated in the first paragraph hereof and has all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to conduct its business, to own its properties and to execute and deliver, and to perform all of its obligations under, this Guaranty.
 
(b)  The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by Guarantor will not (i) require any consent or approval of any person, (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect having applicability to the Guarantor, or (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease or instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor or its properties may be bound or affected; and the Guarantor is not in default under any such law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award or any such indenture, agreement, lease or instrument.
 
(c)  This Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws or equitable principles relating to or affecting the rights of creditors and general principles of equity.
 
(d)  There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened against or affecting it or any of its assets before any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, which, if determined adversely to the Guarantor, would have a material adverse effect on any of his financial condition, properties, or operations.
 
(e)  No authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption of or filing or registration with any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, is or will be necessary to the valid execution, delivery or performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty.
 
11.  No failure or delay on the part of the Bank in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Bank (and Guarantor as to any modification or amendment of this Guaranty), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
 
12.  All notices, requests, demands, statements, authorizations, approvals, directions and other communications provided for herein shall be given or made in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given or served for all purposes as of the date (i) when hand delivered (provided that delivery shall be evidenced by a receipt executed by or on behalf of the addressee), (ii) one (1) Business Day after being sent by reputable overnight courier service (with delivery evidenced by written receipt), or (iii) with a simultaneous delivery by one of the shall mean in clause (i) or (ii) above, by facsimile, when sent, with confirmation and a copy sent by first class mail, in each case addressed to the intended recipient at the address specified below; or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each other party hereto. Guarantor shall only be required to send notices, requests, demands, statements, authorizations, approvals, directions and other communications to Bank on behalf of all of the Lenders.
