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

OPTION TO PURCHASE
2.1 Grant of Option. Seller hereby grants to Purchaser, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the right and option to purchase all or any part of the Property in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.3, below.
2.2 Option Term; Manner of Exercise.
(a) The Option may be exercised by Purchaser on or after April 11, 2011 and shall continue until such date that Seller satisfies the terms of the Loan (as the same may be modified, extended, and refinanced). Purchaser shall exercise the Option by delivering written notice to Seller identifying which Parcel(s) of Property Purchaser is purchasing, and the Closing Date (the Option Notice). Upon exercise of the Option by Purchaser, this Agreement shall immediately operate as a real estate sale contract on the terms herein set forth with respect to the applicable Parcel(s) of Property. In the event Purchaser chooses not to exercise the Option on all of the Property, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all Parcels of Property not purchased, and the Option shall continue.

Purchaser shall exercise the Ground Lease Option by delivering written notice to Seller identifying the Ground Lease(s) of which Purchaser is taking assignment (the Ground Lease Option Notice). Upon exercise of the Ground Lease Option Notice, Seller shall use best efforts to obtain the Required Consents, and the Parties shall proceed to assignment of the applicable Ground Lease(s) on the terms herein set forth. In the event Purchaser chooses not to exercise the Ground Lease Option on both Ground Leases, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the Ground Lease not assigned, and the Ground Lease Option shall continue.
2.3 Purchase Price.
(a) The Minimum Purchase Price for each Parcel of Property shall be as follows:
(i) Snow Creek: | $ | 570,400.00 | ||||||
(ii) Boston Mills/Brandywine: | $ | 15,354,300.00 | ||||||
(iii) Paoli Peaks (fee interest): | $ | 2,374,600.00 |
Subject to Subsection 2.3(c), below, Purchaser shall have the right and option to purchase all of the Property, or any number of the Parcels of Property at the foregoing prices.
(b) The Minimum Purchase Price for the Ground Lease assignments shall be as follows:
9
(i) Jack Frost/Big Boulder: | $ | 9,405,400.00 | ||||||
(ii) Paoli Peaks: | $ | 1.00 |
Subject to Subsection 2.3(c), below, Purchaser shall have the right and option to take assignment of all the Ground Leases, or any of them, for the foregoing prices.
(c) Unless otherwise mutually agreed to by Seller and Purchaser, the Minimum Purchase Price shall be increased if, at the time Lender delivers an Option Notice or Ground Lease Option Notice, the previous fiscal years Debt Service Coverage Ratio for an applicable Parcel of Property exceeds 2.0: 1.0. Such increase shall be calculated by multiplying the previous fiscal years EBITDAR attributable to the applicable Parcel by fifty percent (50%), and dividing the product by the Initial Interest Rate.
For example. If the Minimum Purchase Price is $5,000,000, the Initial Interest Rate is 9.25%, and EBITDAR for the prior fiscal year for the applicable Parcel is $1,500,000, then the Purchase Price shall be increased to $8,108,108, illustrated as follows:
$ 1,500,000 x 50 % = $ 750,000 | ||||||||||
$ 750,000 / 9.25 % = $ 8,108,108 |

Such new lease shall commence on the date of termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord delivers to the Original Tenant, together with Landlords notice, a release as to all liability under this Lease as theretofore amended, the Original Tenant shall not have the foregoing option.

The proceeds of such insurance in case of loss or damage shall be held in trust and applied on account of the obligation of Tenant to repair and/or rebuild the Leased Premises pursuant to the Article captioned Damage Clause to the extent that such proceeds are required for such purpose. The insurance required to be carried by Tenant under this paragraph shall be evidenced by a certificate of insurance (such insurance certificate with respect to property insurance shall be issued on ACORD 27) from Tenants insurer, authorized agent or broker. Upon request, Landlord may name the holder of any Mortgage on the Leased Premises pursuant to a standard mortgagee clause, additional insured or loss payee as such holder shall elect with respect to the foregoing property insurance provided such holder agrees in writing to disburse such insurance proceeds to Tenant for, and periodically during the course of, repair and restoration of the Leased Premises as set forth in this Lease.

If any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord, its officers, agents or servants by reason of any of the aforementioned causes, Tenant, upon receiving notice thereof from Landlord, agrees to defend such action or proceeding by adequate counsel at its own expense. Tenant agrees to insure the foregoing obligation by contractual endorsement under a commercial general public liability policy (including personal injury and property damage) to be maintained by Tenant with combined single limits of not less than $5,000,000.00 aggregate per location.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant agrees and acknowledges that Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss, damage or injury to Tenants Property which is located in, on or about the Leased Premises at any time and from time to time, regardless of the cause of such loss, damage or injury, and that all of Tenants Property is located in, on or about the Leased Premises at Tenants sole risk.

Tenant agrees, within ten (10) days after request by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to and in favor of the proposed holder of any Mortgage or purchaser of the Leased Premises, an estoppel certificate in such form as Landlord may reasonably approve, but stating no less than: (i) whether this Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) whether this Lease has been modified or amended and, if so, identifying and describing any such modification or amendment; (iii) the date to which rent and any other charges have been paid; and (iv) whether Tenant knows of any default on the part of Landlord or has any claim against Landlord and, if so, specifying the nature of such default or claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that it shall not be reasonable for Landlord to require an estoppel certificate that modifies the terms of this Lease.
(B) Attornment by Tenant. Tenant shall, in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under, any Mortgage prior in lien to this Lease made by Landlord, attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease, provided such purchaser assumes Landlords obligations under this Lease, in a written agreement in recordable form and with substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant, containing a covenant binding upon such purchaser to the effect that as long as Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease, this Lease shall not be terminated or modified in any respect whatsoever, nor shall the rights of Tenant hereunder or its occupancy of the Leased Premises be affected in any way by reason of such Mortgage or any foreclosure action or other proceeding that may be instituted in connection therewith, and that, except to the extent that the holder of such Mortgage is required to do so to effectively foreclose such Mortgage, Tenant shall not be named as a defendant in any such foreclosure action or other proceeding.
(C) Subordination/Non-Disturbance. Upon request of the holder of any Mortgage, Tenant will subordinate its rights under this Lease to the lien thereof and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof, and Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver an instrument effecting such subordination; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, Tenants obligation to (a) subordinate its rights under this Lease to the lien of any holder of a Mortgage and (b) execute and deliver such instrument shall be conditioned upon Landlord obtaining and delivering to Tenant, in recordable form, from the holder of any Mortgage to which this Lease is to become subordinate a non-disturbance agreement reasonably acceptable to Tenant containing a covenant binding upon the holder thereof to the effect that as long as Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease, this Lease shall not be terminated or modified in any respect whatsoever, nor shall the rights of Tenant hereunder or its occupancy of the Leased Premises be affected in any way by reason of such Mortgage or any foreclosure action or other proceeding that may be instituted in connection therewith, and that, except to the extent that the holder of such Mortgage is required to do so to effectively foreclose such Mortgage, Tenant shall not be named as a defendant in any such foreclosure action or other proceeding.
(D) Landlord and Tenant, upon request of any party in interest, shall execute promptly such commercially reasonable instruments or certificates to carry out the provisions of this Article; provided, however, neither party shall be required to execute any such instruments or certificates that would in any way modify the terms and provisions of this Lease.

If (i) Tenant neglects or fails to pay any Annual Fixed Rent, Annual Percentage Rent or other charge hereunder within 10 days after notice of default, or (ii) Tenant neglects or fails to perform or observe any of the other covenants, terms, provisions or conditions on its part to be performed or observed under this Lease, within thirty (30) days after notice of default (or if more than thirty (30) days shall be reasonably required because of the nature of the default, if Tenant shall fail to proceed diligently to cure such default after such notice), or (iii) Tenant neglects or fails to perform or observe any obligations pursuant to Tenants Operating Covenant hereunder, or (iv) upon the occurrence of any default under any Related Agreement or Guaranty of a Related Agreement that remains uncured after the expiration of the applicable cure period thereunder or (v) Tenant (a) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, (b) commences any case, proceeding or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as debtor or to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any federal, state or local law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, (c) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (d) is generally unable to pay its debts as they mature, (e) seeks or consents to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, or (f) files a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under an order or decree appointing, without the consent of Tenant, a receiver of Tenant of the whole or substantially all of its property, and such case, proceeding or other action is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the commencement thereof; or (vi) the estate or interest of Tenant in the Leased Premises or any part thereof is levied upon or attached in any proceeding and the same is not vacated or discharged within the later of ninety (90) days after commencement thereof or thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of notice thereof from Landlord (unless Tenant is contesting such lien or attachment in accordance with this Lease), then an event of default shall exist hereunder and Landlord may immediately or at any time thereafter, as permitted by law, give Tenant written notice of Landlords termination of this Lease, and, upon such notice, Tenants rights to possession of the Leased Premises shall cease and this Lease shall thereupon be terminated, and Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises as its own property; or Landlord may remain out of possession of the Leased Premises and treat the term of the Lease as subsisting and in full force and effect, in which event Landlord shall have all rights and remedies available at law, in equity or hereunder; and as an alternative remedy Landlord may, at Landlords election, without terminating the then current term, or this Lease, re-enter the Leased Premises or take possession thereof pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, and having elected to re-enter or take possession of the Leased Premises without terminating the term, or this Lease, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence as Tenants agent to relet the Leased Premises, or parts thereof, for such term (which may be greater or less than the remaining balance of the then current term) or terms and at such rental and upon such other terms and conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) as Landlord may reasonably deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises, and no such re-entry or taking of possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlords part to terminate this Lease, and no such re-entry or taking of possession by Landlord shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay Rent (at the time or times provided herein), or of any of its other obligations under this Lease, all of which shall survive such re-entry or taking of possession, and Tenant shall continue to pay Rent provided for in this Lease until the end of the term and whether or not the Leased Premises shall have been relet, less
EPT Ski Properties, Inc. Lease
G-24
the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Leased Premises after deducting all of Landlords expenses in or in connection with such reletting, including without limitation all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, expenses of employees, alterations costs and expenses of preparation for reletting. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, then Landlord may re-lease the Leased Premises for such price and on such terms as may be immediately obtainable, and Tenant will be and remain liable, not only for all Rent due and other obligations incurred up to the date on which the termination becomes effective, for all holdover damages that accrue under the holdover section of this Lease until Tenant vacates or is removed from the Leased Premises, but also for stipulated or liquidated damages for its nonperformance equal to the sum of (i) all expenses that Landlord may incur in re-entering and re-possessing the Leased Premises, putting the Leased Premises in proper repair and curing any default by Tenant, and removing Tenants improvements, if Landlord has elected to require such removal, making any reasonable non-structural modifications that may be required for any new tenants, and reletting the Leased Premises, including attorneys fees and disbursements, sheriffs fees and brokerage fees in doing so, plus (ii) twenty-four (24) months of the Annual Fixed Rent provided in this Lease. Having elected either to remain out of possession and treating this Lease as remaining in full force and effect or to re-enter or take possession of Leased Premises without terminating the term, or this Lease, Landlord may by notice to Tenant given at any time thereafter while Tenant is in default in the payment of Rent or in the performance of any other obligation under this Lease, elect to terminate this Lease and, upon such notice, this Lease shall thereupon be terminated. If in accordance with any of the foregoing provisions of this Article 25 Landlord shall have the right to elect to re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises, Landlord may enter and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant and remove the effects of both or either (forcibly if necessary) without being guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of rent or preceding breach of covenant. Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law, nor shall pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damage accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon the occurrence of an Tenant event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default.
Following an event of default, all amounts due from Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(B) Landlord Default, Cure Rights. If Landlord neglects or fails to perform or observe any of the covenants, terms, provisions or conditions on its part to be performed or observed under this Lease, or within 30 days after notice of default (or if more than 30 days shall be reasonably required because of the nature of the default, if Landlord shall fail to proceed diligently to cure such default after such notice), then Tenant may immediately or at any time thereafter, in addition to any other rights and remedies as may otherwise be provided in this Lease for a Landlord default, pursue all rights and remedies it may have at law and equity generally.
(C) Self Help. If either party (the Defaulting Party) fails to perform any agreement or obligation on its part to be performed under this Lease, the other party (the
EPT Ski Properties, Inc. Lease
G-25
Curing Party) shall have the right (i) if no emergency exists, to perform the same after giving 30 days notice to the Defaulting Party, and (ii) in any emergency situation to perform the same immediately without notice or delay. For the purpose of rectifying a default of the Defaulting Party as aforesaid, the Curing Party shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises. The Defaulting Party shall on demand reimburse the Curing Party for the costs and expenses incurred by the Curing Party in rectifying defaults as aforesaid, including reasonable attorneys fees, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, but nothing herein shall be deemed to permit either party to set off any costs of cure or other amounts against the amounts owing to the other party hereunder.. Any act or thing done by the Curing Party pursuant to this paragraph shall not constitute a waiver of any such default by the Curing Party or a waiver of any covenant, term or condition herein contained or the performance thereof.
25. Access to Premises.
Tenant shall permit [Prime Lessor,] Landlord and its authorized representatives to enter the Facility at all reasonable times (upon 48 hours prior notice, except in the event of an emergency, in which no prior notice is required prior to entry) for the purposes of (i) serving or posting or keeping posted thereon notices required by Law, (ii) conducting periodic inspections, (iii) performing any work thereon required or permitted to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease, and (iv) showing the Leased Premises to prospective purchasers or lenders.
26. Force Majeure.
If either party shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required under this Lease by reason of strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of power, restrictive Laws (except as otherwise specifically provided herein), riots, insurrection, terrorist acts, war or other reason beyond the reasonable control of and not the fault of the party delayed in performing the work or doing the acts required under the terms of this Lease (collectively, Force Majeure), then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay, and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay. The provisions of this Article shall not (i) operate to excuse Tenant from prompt payment of rent or any other payment required by Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or (ii) be applicable to delays resulting from the inability of a party to obtain financing or to proceed with its obligations under this Lease because of a lack of funds.
27. Remedies Cumulative; Legal Expenses; Time of the Essence.
(A) The various rights and remedies given to or reserved to Landlord and Tenant by this Lease or allowed by law shall be cumulative, irrespective of whether so expressly stated.
(B) In case suit shall be brought because of the breach of any agreement or obligation contained in this Lease on the part of Tenant or Landlord to be kept or performed, and a breach shall be established, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all expenses incurred in connection with such suit, including reasonable attorneys fees.
(C) Time is of the essence of this Lease.

produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.
42. Attorneys Fees. If either party obtains a judgment against the other party by reason of a breach of this Lease, a reasonable attorneys fee as fixed by the court shall be included in such judgment.

44. Severability. Invalidation of any provisions of this Lease or of the application thereof to any party by judgment or court order shall in no way affect any of the other provisions hereof or the application thereof to any other party and the same shall remain in full force and effect.
45. Waiver of Trial by Jury.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TENANT AND LANDLORD HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER IN ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANTS USE AND OCCUPANCY OF THE FACILITY OR THE ENTIRE PREMISES, AND ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE.

Except where another rate of interest is specifically provided for in this Lease, any amount due from either party to the other under this Lease which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such payment was due to and including the date of payment. In addition, Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of any installment of Annual Fixed Rent, Percentage Rent or any other amounts due Landlord will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses, the exact amount of which are extremely difficult or impractical to fix. These costs and expenses may include, without limitation, administrative and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses. Therefore, if any installment of Annual Fixed Rent, Percentage Rent or other amount due Landlord is not received by Landlord from Tenant when due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge equal to the 4% of such delinquent amount. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of the costs and expenses Landlord will incur and is fair compensation to Landlord for its loss suffered by reason of late payment by Tenant. Upon accrual, all such late charges shall be deemed Additional Rent.

Attached to and forming a part of Lease effective as of

EPT SKI PROPERTIES, INC.,

as Landlord,
and , as Tenant.
1. Rent.
A. Annual Fixed Rent; Escalation. Tenant shall pay landlord, during the term of this Lease, the Annual Fixed Rent in the manner hereinafter provided. The Annual Fixed Rent for each Lease Year shall be payable in equal monthly installments on or before the first day of each calendar month, in advance during such Lease Year. If the Annual Fixed Rent is payable for a fraction of a month, the amount payable shall be a pro rata share of a full months rent. The Annual Fixed Rent shall be prorated for any partial Lease Year.
B. Percentage Rent.
(1) In addition to the Annual Fixed Rent, Tenant shall pay Landlord as percentage rent (the Annual Percentage Rent) an amount for each Lease Year equal to the Percentage Rate multiplied by the Gross Receipts for such Lease Year in excess of an amount (Base Amount) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Annual Fixed Rent payable for such Lease Year by the Percentage Rate. For purposes of example only, assume that the Annual Fixed Rent for the applicable Lease Year is $990,000.00, and the Gross Sales for the applicable Lease Year is $10,000,000.00. Under this example, the Annual Percentage Rent would be equal to the Percentage Rate (10%) multiplied by $100,000 (which equals the amount by which the Gross Receipts for the applicable Lease Year exceed the Annual Fixed Rent divided by the Percentage Rate), or $10,000. For the purpose of computing the Annual Percentage Rent for the first Lease Year, the Gross Receipts for and the Annual Fixed Rent payable for the partial calendar month, if any, preceding the first Lease Year shall be included in the Annual Fixed Rent and Gross Receipts for the first Lease Year. Within 60 days following the end of each Lease Year, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a statement, verified by a corporate officer of Tenant, showing the amount of Gross Receipts for the preceding Lease Year, which statement shall be accompanied by Tenants payment of Annual Percentage Rent, if any, is due.
(2) The term Lease Year as used in this Lease shall mean a period of 12 full calendar months. The first Lease Year shall begin on the first day of the calendar month following the Commencement Date, unless the term commences on the first day of a calendar month, in which case the first Lease Year shall begin on Commencement Date. Each succeeding Lease Year shall commence on the anniversary of the first Lease Year.
(3) Landlord shall have the right, not more often than once each year, to audit Tenants records of Gross Receipts, but only for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of the Gross Receipts during the preceding Lease Year. Such audit shall be made on behalf of
Rent and Expense Rider- 1
EPT Ski Properties, Inc. Lease
Landlord by a certified public accountant to be selected by Landlord. If Landlord wishes to audit Tenants records for any Lease Year, Landlord shall notify Tenant and proceed with such audit within 12 months after the end of the Lease Year in question. Should Landlord fail to exercise the right to audit the records of Tenant within 12 months after the end of any Lease Year, then Landlord shall have no further right to audit the records of Tenant for such Lease Year, and Tenants statement of Gross Receipts for such Lease Year shall conclusively be deemed to be correct. Any such audit by Landlord shall be at Landlords own expense, except as hereinafter provided. If any such audit discloses that Tenant has understated the Gross Receipts for such Lease Year by more than 3% and Landlord is entitled to any additional Annual Percentage Rent as a result of such understatement, then Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord the cost of such audit. Tenant shall, in any event, pay Landlord the amount of any deficiency in Annual Percentage Rent. Any information obtained by Landlord from such statements or inspections shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed except as provided in subparagraph (14) of this paragraph (B).
