Our ski areas are located in geographically diverse areas. Adverse weather patterns are challenges that all ski area operators face. In order to mitigate the negative effects that adverse weather may have on our overall financial results, we have strategically acquired or developed our ski areas in geographically diverse regions of the United States in order to compensate for any adverse weather that one region may experience over another during a particular ski season

Borrower will perform all of its covenants, agreements and undertakings, and will satisfy all conditions precedent on the part of Borrower to be performed under the Project Agreements. Borrower will not materially modify or amend, and will not cancel or terminate, any of the Project Agreements without first obtaining Lender’s written consent thereto.

Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender free and harmless from and against all loss, costs (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), taxes, damages (including consequential damages), and expenses Lender may suffer by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA necessary or desirable in Lender’s sole judgment or by reason of a breach of the foregoing prohibitions.

Borrower will suffer or commit no waste to the Premises or any portion thereof. Borrower will, at its expense, promptly repair, restore, replace or rebuild any part of the Premises which may be damaged or destroyed by any casualty or as the result of any taking under the power of eminent domain. Borrower shall cause all repairs, maintenance, rebuilding, replacement and/or restoration to be (in the opinion of Lender) of equivalent quality. Except as provided in this Agreement, Borrower will not cause, suffer or permit the construction of any buildings, structures, or improvements on the Premises without the prior written consent of Lender to the proposed construction as well as to the plans and specifications relating thereto.

     3.8. Fees and Expenses. Borrower shall pay all registration and recording fees, title insurance fees, escrow fees and costs of surveys. Borrower shall also pay, on demand by Lender, all reasonable costs and expenses associated with underwriting, closing, monitoring the building construction or funding the proceeds of the Loan (but specifically excluding Lender’s attorneys’ fees), together with any and all other out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees (including, without limitation, appraisal costs and fees, Lender’s independent consulting engineer’s/architect’s costs, expenses and fees throughout the term of the Loan, other construction and environmental consultant’s costs and fees, and closing work, and any other costs, expenses and fees in connection with this transaction) incurred by Lender in connection with the Loan (whether or not the same closes or is ever disbursed).
     3.9. Change Orders. Borrower will not cause or allow any deviations from the approved Plans and Specifications without the prior written consent of Lender, except in connection with Change Orders (hereinafter defined) not requiring Lender’s approval as provided below. No extra work or materials shall be ordered or allowed and no change shall be made in the Construction Contract (all such extra work or materials and changes in the foregoing types of contracts being herein called “Change Orders”) without the prior written consent of Lender, except that such written consent shall not be required with respect to individual Change Orders entered into prior to the date hereof, or involving a cost of less than $100,000.00 until the aggregate costs reflected by all Change Orders theretofore issued and not consented to by Lender exceed $100,000.00 at any time. Lender shall be furnished with copies of all Change Orders and pending Change Orders issued whether or not Lender’s prior written consent with respect thereto has been required hereunder or obtained pursuant hereto. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event any such Change Orders shall be made, extra work or materials shall be ordered or allowed or any change to the Plans and Specifications is made, to the extent the portion of the Loan budgeted for such work in the Project Budget is, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, insufficient to cover the same, Borrower shall advance funds sufficient (in Lender’s reasonable judgment) to cover any excess costs resulting from such Change Orders, extras or changes.

Any amounts deposited by Borrower hereunder to pay any such deficiency shall be deposited in a cash collateral account with Lender, subject to a security interest in favor of Lender, shall not bear interest and shall be applied by Lender as Lender shall direct to pay costs and expenses in connection with the Project. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender, in addition to all other rights which it may have, shall have the unconditional right, at its option, to apply, in whole or in part, any amounts deposited by Borrower with Lender with respect to such deficiency, to the payment of the Loan in such order and priority as Lender shall deem appropriate.

     3.16. Borrowings and Lease Expenditures. Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall not create, incur, assume, or suffer to exist any liability for borrowed money or under capital leases, except (i) liability for borrowed money owed to Lender, (ii) purchase money obligations outstanding on the Closing Date and reflected on Borrower’s most recent financial statements that are secured by purchase money collateral only, and (iii) obligations under capital leases outstanding on the Closing Date and reflected on Borrower’s most recent financial statements.

     4.2. Conditions Precedent to Initial Disbursement.

15


 

     (d) Defaults, Condemnations, Actions, Forfeitures, Bankruptcy, Adverse Change or Casualty.

     4.4. Use of Advances. In addition to, and without limitation of any other term and provision hereof relating to disbursements by Lender for any category contained in the Project Budget, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Project Budget reflects by category the purposes for which funds advanced hereunder are to be used, and Lender shall not be required to disburse for any category or purpose more than the amount specified therefor in the Project Budget. Borrower warrants and agrees that the proceeds of the Loan will be used only to the extent necessary for the payment of items referenced in the Project Budget in accordance with the applicable Request for Advance and for no other purpose. Except to the extent permitted under Section 4.9 below, Borrower may not reallocate amounts shown in the Project Budget to different categories thereon without Lender’s prior written consent.
     4.5. Construction Advances. Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions herein contained, subsequent disbursements of the Loan will be made monthly by Lender to Borrower, it being understood that in no event shall Lender be required to make more than one (1) disbursement in a calendar month. As a condition to making each advance hereunder, Lender shall be given a Request for Advance satisfying the requirements set forth in Section 2.3 hereof at least ten (10) banking business days prior to the anticipated date of the disbursement of funds. With respect to the final advance for the Project, such Request for Advance shall also be accompanied by the documents called for in Section 2.4 hereof.

Lender, at its option, may (i) disburse funds directly to Borrower or directly to the Construction Contractor or any subcontractor, supplier, laborer or materialman or (ii) make disbursements through an escrow established by Borrower and Lender for such purpose with the Title Company.
     4.6. Retainage. Unless waived or otherwise agreed in writing by Lender for any particular contract or subcontract, the Construction Contract shall require a retainage (a percentage of the Contract Price) reasonably acceptable to Lender, which retainage shall not be required to be paid until at least thirty (30) days after the Project is completed. Lender shall retain a portion of each disbursement of the Loan proceeds equal to the retention percentage and Lender, at Lender’s option, may release some or all of such retainage earlier than final completion of the Project. In no event shall Lender be required to advance any funds with respect to the retainage provided for in the Construction Contract or any subcontract until such

16


 

time as Borrower has actually paid or is required to pay the amount of such retainage pursuant to the terms of the applicable contract or subcontract.
     4.7. Interest on the Note. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Lender to disburse Loan funds for payment of interest under the Note, if not paid by Borrower when due, directly to itself by journal entry without further authorization by Borrower. All such amounts shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Deed of Trust and all of the other Loan Documents.
     4.8. Payment of Note. Upon the payment of the Note and the release of the Mortgage, Lender shall have no further obligation to disburse any Loan proceeds hereunder.
     4.9. Budget Reallocations. The Project Budget shall not be revised, supplemented or amended without Lender’s prior written consent; provided, however, that if the proposed revisions, supplements or amendments do not affect the aggregate figures set forth in the Project Budget, Borrower may, without Lender’s prior written consent, (i) reallocate the amounts of specific cost categories in either such budget to other cost categories in such budget if the reallocation does not amount to a ten percent (10%) or greater change in the original amount of the reallocated cost category, (ii) reallocate cost savings under one cost category to any other cost category and (iii) use funds from the contingency reserve to cover overages under any cost category. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may allocate any cost category on the Project Budget for any other cost category.
     4.10. Storage of Materials. Subject to the Project Budget, Lender shall make disbursements of the Loan to pay for Construction Costs actually incurred by Borrower for stored materials required in connection with the construction of the Project, provided that: (a) such materials are in accordance with the Plans and Specifications approved by Lender; (b) such materials are securely stored, properly inventoried, and clearly stenciled or otherwise marked to indicate that they are the property of Borrower; (c) such materials, if stored off-site, are stored in a bonded warehouse or with a contractor, materialman or fabricator who bears the risk of loss until delivery and installation of such materials in the Project as part of the work in place, and who has, if requested by Lender, supplied a bond securing such contractor’s, materialman’s or fabricator’s obligation to so deliver and install, such bond shall be issued by a company, in an amount and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and shall name Lender as a dual obligee; (d) the bills of sale and contracts under which such materials are being provided shall be, if requested by Lender, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender; (e) such materials are insured against casualty, loss and theft in a manner satisfactory to Lender; (f) Borrower owns such materials free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of any nature whatsoever and establishes such ownership by evidence satisfactory to Lender; and (g) Borrower executes and delivers to Lender such additional security documents as Lender shall reasonably deem necessary to create and perfect a first lien in such materials as additional security for the Note.
     4.11. No Waiver, Borrower’s Continuing Obligations. No advance or disbursement hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any condition precedent to the obligation of Lender to make any further advance or disbursement hereunder or preclude Lender from thereafter declaring the failure of the Borrower to satisfy such condition precedent to be an Event of Default. The making of an advance or disbursement hereunder shall not be deemed an approval

17


 

or acceptance by Lender of any work or material theretofore completed, installed or delivered. Borrower agrees that Lender’s refusal to advance funds under the provisions of this Agreement shall not alter or diminish any of Borrower’s other obligations hereunder or prevent any failure of Borrower to perform any of its obligations from becoming an Event of Default.

ARTICLE VII
ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS; ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE LOAN
     7.1. Additional Payments. In addition to the payments of principal and interest to be made pursuant to the Note, Borrower shall pay an additional amount to Lender as an additional payment (the “Annual Additional Payment”) for each Loan Year equal to the 12% (the “Percentage Rate”) of the Gross Receipts for such Loan Year in excess of an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the annual interest payments payable under the Note for the immediately preceding Loan Year by the Percentage Rate. Within 60 days following the end of each Loan Year, Borrower shall furnish Lender with a statement, verified by a corporate officer of Borrower, showing the amount of Gross Receipts for the preceding Loan Year, which statement shall be accompanied by Borrower’s payment of the Additional Payment, if any, is due. The term “Loan Year” as used in this Agreement shall mean a period of 12 full calendar months. The first Loan Year shall begin on the first day of the calendar month following the Initial Disbursement. Each succeeding Loan Year shall commence on the anniversary of the first Loan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Trigger Event has occurred (as defined in the Note), then, so long as the Trigger Event is still occurring at end of each Loan Year the interest rate for the purposes of calculating the Annual Additional Payment shall be reduced by 100 basis points.
     7.2. Audit Rights. Lender shall have the right, not more often than once each year, to audit Borrower’s records of Gross Receipts, but only for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of the Gross Receipts during the preceding Loan Year. Such audit shall be made on behalf of Lender by a certified public accountant to be selected by Lender. If Lender wishes to audit Borrower’s records for any Loan Year, Lender shall notify Borrower and proceed with such audit within 12 months after the end of the Loan Year in question. Should Lender fail to exercise the right to audit the records of Borrower within 12 months after the end of any Loan Year, then Lender shall have no further right to audit the records of Borrower for such Loan Year, and Borrower’s statement of Gross Receipts for such Loan Year shall conclusively be deemed to be correct. Any such audit by Lender shall be at Lender’s own expense, except as hereinafter provided. If any such audit discloses that Borrower has understated the Gross Receipts for such Loan Year by more than 3% and Lender is entitled to any additional Annual Additional Payment as a result of such understatement, then Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender the cost of such audit. Borrower shall, in any event, pay Lender the amount of any deficiency in Annual Additional Payment.

21


 

     7.3. Gross Receipts. The term “Gross Receipts” shall mean: (i) the entire amount of the price charged, whether wholly or partially in cash or on credit, or otherwise, for all goods, wares, merchandise and chattels of any kind sold, leased, licensed or delivered (specifically including without limitation ski lift tickets, golf course green fees, hotel charges), and all charges for services sold or performed in, at, upon or from any part of or through the use of the Project or any part thereof by Borrower or any other party, or by means of any mechanical or other vending device; and (ii) all gross income of Borrower, Mount Snow, and any other party from any operations in, at, upon or from the Project which are neither included in nor excluded from Gross Receipts by other provisions of this Agreement, but without duplication. Gross Receipts shall not include, or if included, there shall be deducted (but only to the extent they have been included), as the case may be, (i) the net amount of cash or credit refunds upon Gross Receipts, where the merchandise sold or some part of it is returned by the purchaser to and accepted by Borrower (but not exceeding in any instance the selling price of the item in question); (ii) the amount of any sales tax, use tax or retail excise tax which is imposed by any duly constituted governmental authority directly on sales and which is added to the selling price (or absorbed therein) and is paid to the taxing authority by Borrower (but not any vendor of Borrower); (iii) exchanges of merchandise between the Project and other ski resorts of Borrower or its Affiliates to the extent the same are made solely for the convenient operation of Borrower’s business and not for the purpose of depriving Lender of the benefit of Gross Receipts; (iv) returns of merchandise to shippers, suppliers or manufacturers; (v) discount sales to employees and agents of Borrower of merchandise not intended for resale; (vi) all receipts or proceeds from borrowings; (vii) gift certificates or like vouchers, if not issued for value, until the time they have been converted into a sale or redemption; (viii) income, revenues, receipts or proceeds from Borrower’s investment of any funds in a deposit institution; and (ix) separately stated interest and service charges. In addition to the foregoing, the following shall be deducted form Gross Receipts to the extent otherwise included the calculation thereof: (a) credits or refunds made to customer; (b) all federal, state, county and city sales taxes or other similar taxes, (c) all occupational taxes, use taxes and other taxes which must be paid by Borrower or collected by Borrower, by whatever name they are known or assessed, and regardless of whether or not they are imposed under any existing or future orders, regulations, laws or ordinances; and (d) agency commissions paid to independent third parties for selling tickets and surcharges in excess of the standard ticket price for tickets purchased by use of credit cards, but only to the extent such commissions or surcharges are actually remitted to independent third parties.
     7.4. No Further Disbursements. Lender has no obligation to disburse Loan proceeds after the Maturity Date, even if the Improvements have not been completed. In the event the Improvements have not been completed, Borrower agrees to complete the Improvements diligently using Borrower’s own funds. In its sole discretion, Lender may (but is not obligated to) make further disbursements after the Maturity Date (for example, to pay mechanics’ liens, respond to stop notices or otherwise preserve its collateral), and all such disbursements will be deemed advances under the Note secured by the Mortgage.

Lender may assign, negotiate, pledge or otherwise hypothecate all or any portion of this Agreement or grant participations herein, or in any of its rights and security hereunder, including, without limitation, the Mortgage and the Note and, in case of such assignment, Borrower will accord full recognition thereto and agree that all rights and remedies of Lender in connection with the interest so assigned shall be enforceable against Borrower by such assignee with the same force and effect and to the same extent as the same would have been enforceable by Lender but for such assignment. In connection with any such assignment, participation or other transfer, Borrower agrees that Lender may deliver copies to any potential participant or other transferee of all documents, instruments, financial statements and other information from time to time furnished to Lender pursuant hereto or in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, prior to the time the Loan is fully funded, Lender shall remain the lead lender and shall remain obligated to Borrower to fund the Loan (or to cause the Loan to be funded).
