THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND DISCLAIMERS THAT SHOULD BE CAREFULLY CONSIDERED BY PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS. The limited partnership interests (each interest referred to herein as “Unit”) offered hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon exemptions from registration contained in the Securities Act and Regulation D and Regulation S promulgated thereunder. The Units are being offered to a limited number of persons and investors who will purchase the Units for their own accounts as a long-term investment. There will be no public market for the Units and re-sales and other transfers of the Units are limited by federal and state laws and contractual restrictions contained in a Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Partnership Agreement”). Hedging transactions involving the Units may not be conducted unless in compliance with the Securities Act. This private placement memorandum is not an offer to sell the Units in any jurisdiction to any person where the offer and sale is not permitted. It is the responsibility of any person outside the United States wishing to purchase any Units to satisfy itself as to the full observance of the laws of any relevant territory outside of the United States in connection with any such purchase, including obtaining any required governmental or other consents or observing any other applicable formalities. You will not be permitted to purchase Units and become an investor in the Partnership unless and until your subscription agreement has been accepted by the general partner, which reserves the unconditional right to reject your subscription. In making an investment decision, you must rely on your own examination of the Partnership and the terms of this offering, including the merits and risks involved.

degree of risk and the Units are subject to substantial restrictions on transferability and resale. See the section of this private placement memorandum entitled “Risk Factors” for a description of certain factors that you should consider. This private placement memorandum is the only document being used to offer and sell the Units offered hereby.

INTRODUCTION Carinthia Group 1, L.P. and Carinthia Group 2, L.P. are Vermont limited partnerships (the “Partnership”) that were organized in October 2012 and March 2014, respectively, by their general partner, Mount Snow GP Services LLC (the “general partner”) to finance two construction projects at the Mount Snow Ski Resort in Windham County, Vermont, described in this private placement memorandum (collectively, the “Project”). The sole member of the general partner is Mount Snow Ltd., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Peak Resorts, Inc. The Partnership will operate as an approved project within the State of Vermont Regional Center (the “regional center”) which is a federally designated “regional center” under Section 610 of the Departments of Commerce, Justice and State, the Judiciary and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 1993, as amended. As described below on Page 53, the general partner may at its discretion cause a limited partner to exchange its interest in Carinthia Group 1, L.P. for an economically equivalent interest in the parallel fund, Carinthia Group 2, L.P. The Project has been structured to help investors meet the requirements of the immigrant investor program created pursuant to Section 203(b)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) and administered by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). The immigrant investor program allocates 10,000 immigrant visas per year to qualified individuals seeking lawful permanent resident status on the basis of their investment in a commercial enterprise. In this private placement memorandum we refer to this program as the “EB-5 Visa Program” and to such qualified individuals as “alien entrepreneurs” or “EB-5 Investors.” The offering is not limited to EB-5 Investors. The Partnership hereby offers for sale on a best efforts basis up to 104 Units in the Partnership at a subscription price of $500,000 (the “subscription price”), with a minimum subscription for all investors of one Unit ($500,000). The subscription price of $500,000 shall constitute a capital contribution to the Partnership. The subscription price does not include an administrative fee of $50,000 per Unit (the “administrative fee”) to be paid to the general partner, which amount shall not constitute a capital contribution, but which amount will be used to pay the fees and expenses of the general partner and Mount Snow Ltd. incurred in structuring and organizing the Project described herein in compliance with the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program, including marketing, consulting, escrow, legal and other fees and expenses and any fees of foreign broker/dealers, and coordinating with counsel and foreign broker/dealers with respect to the collection of information from potential alien entrepreneurs and other administrative matters arising in connection with their admission as limited partners of the Partnership.

SUMMARY OF THE OFFERING This is a summary and does not include all of the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire private placement memorandum and the attached exhibits before you decide to invest in the Partnership. Throughout this private placement memorandum when there is a reference to you it is a reference to you as a potential investor or participant in the Partnership. The Limited Partnerships Carinthia Group 1, L.P. and Carinthia Group 2, L.P. are limited partnerships formed under the laws of the State of Vermont. The principal office of each such partnership is 89 Grand Summit Way, West Dover, VT 05356. These partnerships were formed to conduct the business and activities described below under “—Project Description”. Throughout this memorandum, we refer to both partnerships as “the Partnership.” Carinthia Group 2, L.P. is a parallel partnership formed to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940. To comply with securities laws, the general partner may, in its reasonable discretion, cause a limited partner to exchange its interests in Carinthia Group 1, L.P. for an economically equivalent interest in Carinthia Group 2, L.P. These two partnerships will serve as co-lenders of the Loan Facilities described on Page 15. The General Partner The general partner of the Partnership is Mount Snow GP Services LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Vermont. The principal office of the general partner is 89 Grand Summit Way, West Dover, VT 05356. The general partner will be responsible for the day to day management of the Partnership. The rights and duties of the general partner are set forth in the Partnership Agreements included in Section 3 of this private placement memorandum. You should read the entire Partnership Agreements before you decide to invest in the Partnership. The sole member of the general partner is Mount Snow Ltd. (“Mount Snow”). Mount Snow owns and operates the Mount Snow Ski Resort, adjacent hotels, a golf course and other parcels of land, all of which are located in West Dover and Wilmington, Windham County, Vermont. Mount Snow is a wholly owned subsidiary of Peak Resorts, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“Peak Resorts”). Peak Resorts is a holding company that, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, owns or leases and operates a total number of 13 day ski areas and overnight drive destination ski areas through the Midwestern, Northeastern and Southeastern United States. Its principal executive offices are located at 17409 Hidden Valley Drive, Wildwood, Missouri 63025. Project Description The Partnership intends to use the proceeds of this offering to fund loans that will be advanced to newly created wholly-owned subsidiaries of Mount Snow to finance the development of two capital projects for the Mount Snow Ski Resort – the West Lake Project and the Carinthia Ski Lodge Project (together, the “Project”). The West Lake Project includes the construction of a new water storage reservoir for snowmaking with capacity of up to 120 million gallons, three new pump houses and the installation of snowmaking pipelines, trail upgrades and expansion, new ski lift and ancillary equipment. The Carinthia Ski Lodge Project includes the construction of Carinthia Ski Lodge, a new three-story approximately 36,000-squarefoot skier service building located at the base of the Carinthia slopes.

The anticipated overall cost of the Project is $66,000,000, of which $52,000,000 is intended to be funded with the proceeds from this offering and will be supplemented with the additional investment in cash, land or value of $14,000,000 provided by Mount Snow.

All Units are offered by the Partnership on a “best efforts” basis. There is no assurance that all or any of the desired capital will be raised through the offering. The offering has a minimum amount of $500,000 (one Unit) and, subject to the release of the funds from escrow, the Partnership may utilize proceeds as they are received. To the extent that the offering is not fully subscribed and less than $52,000,000 is raised, the Partnership will allocate up to the first $30,000,000 of subscriptions received and accepted to West Lake Water Project LLC for the development of the West Lake Project. The West Lake Project will be developed in three tranches consisting of $10,000,000 (tranche one), $12,500,000 (tranche two) and $7,500,000 (tranche three). To the extent that the general partner accepts subscriptions for any tranche and the proceeds resulting from such subscriptions do not equal the amount for such tranche set forth above, Mount Snow will be required to make alternative arrangements to finance the balance of the tranche. There can be no assurance that Mount Snow will be able to obtain such additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all. If and when subscriptions received exceed $30,000,000, the next $22,000,000 will be allocated to Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC for the development of the Carinthia Ski Lodge Project. To the extent that the general partner accepts subscriptions for the development of the Carinthia Ski Lodge and the proceeds resulting from such subscriptions do not equal $22,000,000, Mount Snow will be required to make alternative arrangements to finance the balance required to complete the Project. There can be no assurance that Mount Snow will be able to obtain such additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all. For a more complete description of the Project, please see “The Project” below, and “Section 2. Business Plan.” Terms of the Offering You are being offered the opportunity to purchase a Unit in the Partnership. The time period for the offer and sale of the Units began on the date of this private placement memorandum and will continue until the Partnership has received capital contributions from the sale of Units of $52,000,000, unless terminated sooner by the general partner in its discretion. The minimum individual capital contribution to the Partnership is $500,000 which is the minimum investment amount prescribed for qualifying investments in a regional center under the EB-5 Visa Program. To the extent that the minimum qualifying investment amount is increased, the minimum subscription and capital contribution will be increased to match the minimum qualifying investment amount. The minimum subscription may be reduced by the general partner in its discretion in the case of investors that are not EB-5 Investors and such investors will not be required to pay the administrative fee described below. In addition to his or her capital contribution each EB-5 Investor must also pay an administrative fee of $50,000 to the general partner. The administrative fee will be used to pay (including reimbursement of previously paid amounts) the fees and expenses of the general partner and Mount Snow Ltd. incurred in structuring and organizing the Project in compliance with the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program, including marketing, consulting, escrow, legal and other fees and expenses and any fees of foreign broker/dealers, and coordinating with counsel and foreign broker/dealers with respect to the collection of information from potential alien entrepreneurs and other administrative matters arising in connection with their admission as limited partners of the Partnership. All capital contributions and administrative fees will be held in escrow by People’s United Bank (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement between the investor, the general partner and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”). Funds will not be released from escrow until USCIS approval of the first I-526 petition filed by an investor in the Partnership (the “Escrow Release Conditions”). Once the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied, the funds will remain in escrow until released by the general partner to be used to fund the Project. Until such time as the general partner releases the funds from escrow, the general partner may, in its sole discretion, reject an investment in the partnership. The general partner's acceptance of your subscription is discretionary, and the general

6

partner may reject your subscription for any reason without incurring any liability to you for this decision. If your subscription is rejected, then all of your funds, including the administrative fee, will be promptly returned to you. The Loan Facilities The capital contributions of investors will be used to fund two credit facilities that the Partnership will enter into with (1) West Lake Water Project LLC, a Vermont limited liability company (“West Lake LLC”) in the amount of $30,000,000 (such facility, the “West Lake facility”) and (2) Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC, a Vermont limited liability company (“Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC” and together with West Lake LLC, the “Developers”) in the amount of $22,000,000 (such facility, the “Carinthia facility” and, together with the West Lake facility, the “facilities”). West Lake LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC are wholly owned subsidiaries of Mount Snow Ltd. The facilities will be used to develop the West Lake Project and the Carinthia Ski Lodge Project, respectively. Each facility will be represented by a non-revolving line of credit note (“Note”) and subject to the terms of a loan agreement. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid Principal Sum on a simple interest basis at a fixed rate of 1.0% per annum commencing on the First Advance Date until the Maturity Date as set forth in each respective Note. In the event Borrower exercises the Extension Option in the Note, interest shall accrue on the unpaid Principal Sum on a simple interest basis as follows: (i) at a fixed rate of 7.0% per annum commencing on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the First Advance Date; and (ii) a fixed rate of 10.0% per annum commencing on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the First Advance Date until the Maturity Date. Such interest will not be compounded or capitalized. Interest payments shall be paid to the Lender in arrears by the Borrower by way of annual payments on December 1 of each year during which any portion of the Principal Sum is outstanding. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days commencing on the First Advance Date. The Developer may prepay the loan at any time subject to the condition that such prepayment does not negatively impact the capacity of the limited partners of the Partnership to be admitted to the United States under the EB-5 Visa Program. For a more complete description of the facilities, please see “The Loan Facilities” below. EB-5 Visa Program The Project has been structured to help investors meet the requirements of the immigrant investor program created pursuant to Section 203(b)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) and administered by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). The immigrant investor program allocates 10,000 immigrant visas per year to qualified individuals seeking lawful permanent resident status on the basis of their investment in a commercial enterprise. In this private placement memorandum we refer to this program as the “EB-5 Visa Program” and to such qualified individuals as “alien entrepreneurs” or “EB-5 Investors”. The Project has been structured to qualify under separate provisions in the law that permit: (1) a reduced investment of $500,000, relying upon the presence of the principal place of business of the commercial enterprise within a targeted employment area (“TEA”); and (2) reliance upon a less restrictive indirect job creation requirement due to the location of the Project within an approved regional center (in this case, the Mount Snow Resort is located in the Vermont Regional Center) authorized by the INA under a pilot program that was created in 1992. The pilot program is currently scheduled to expire on September 30, 2015. The U.S. immigration laws and the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program are complex. You should consult with counsel familiar with U.S. immigration laws and practice. Purchase of a Unit does not guarantee you will receive lawful permanent residence in the United States. Please see “Risk Factors— Risks Related to the Immigration Process” below.

7

Risk Factors You should carefully consider a number of significant risk factors inherent in the offering, including risks that affect your ability to achieve lawful permanent residence in the United States and your ability to receive any return on your investment in the Partnership, including the following: 

risks incident to the development and construction of the Project by the Developers that could result in substantial unanticipated delays or budget overruns or, under certain circumstances, the failure to complete the Project;



the seasonality of the ski resort business and the possible occurrence of events during peak times that could have a negative effect on revenues generated by the Project and the Developers’ ability to service and repay the loans to the Partnership;



the absence of any guarantee that investment in the Project will assure that your I-526 Petition will be granted by USCIS or, if it is, that you will obtain conditional or unconditional lawful permanent resident status;



the risk that the Project may fail to create the requisite number of jobs under the EB-5 Visa Program and result in the denial of your I-829 Petition; and



restrictions on your ability to transfer your Unit in the Partnership which mean that you must be prepared to hold your Unit for an indefinite period of time.

For a more complete description of the risks involved with an investment in this offering, please see “Risk Factors” below. Compensation The administrative fee of $50,000 will be paid to the general partner and will be used to pay (including reimbursement of previously paid amounts) the fees and expenses of the general partner and Mount Snow Ltd. incurred in structuring and organizing the Project in compliance with the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program, including marketing, consulting, escrow, legal and other fees and expenses and any fees of foreign broker/dealers, and coordinating with counsel and foreign broker/dealers with respect to the collection of information from potential alien entrepreneurs and other administrative matters arising in connection with their admission as limited partners of the Partnership. Other than receiving its general partnership interest and receiving reimbursement for expenses and other costs incurred directly or indirectly by the general partner to fulfill its duties under the Partnership Agreement, the general partner is not entitled to compensation for its services rendered pursuant to the Partnership Agreement. The construction of the West Lake Project and the Carinthia Ski Lodge Project will be overseen by Mount Snow or one of its affiliates, who will enter into contracts with West Lake LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC for this service. Mount Snow or such affiliate thereof will receive contractor supervision payments of 15% of the build cost for each Project. Return of Funds if I-526 is denied In general, once the General Partner accepts the investment and the funds are released from escrow, the funds are nonrefundable. However, an investor may seek a return of the $500,000 capital contribution and a portion of the $50,000 administrative fee if his or her I-526 petition is denied. Any return of funds is subject to the discretion of the General Partner, and requires that an investor has made a good faith effort to secure USCIS approval of his or her I-526 petition. A request for the return of capital and a portion of the administrative fee must be made in writing to the General Partner.

THE PROJECT Introduction Mount Snow Resort, located in southern Vermont, is the closest major ski area to eastern metropolitan centers, just a 4½ hour drive from the major metropolitan areas of New York City and approximately 2½ hours from Boston. Mount Snow Ski Resort is owned by Mount Snow Ltd., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Peak Resorts Inc., headquartered in Missouri. Mount Snow Founded in 1954, Mount Snow is one of the largest resorts in the eastern United States, with a land area of 2,451 acres, of which 894 acres are within the Green Mountain National Forest. Mount Snow Ski Area includes 460 acres of trails spread over four mountain areas (including Carinthia) and served by a network of 20 lifts. Ski terrain features 80 trails, gladed tree-skiing areas, a 400-foot competition superpipe, a minipipe, nine freestyle parks, a tubing park and several beginner areas. With 70% of the trails rated intermediate, it appeals to skiers and snowboarders from throughout the East. The Carinthia area includes almost 100 acres of terrain park features for freestyle skiers and snowboarders. It has been the site for national freestyle competitions drawing thousands of spectators. In addition to skiing and snowboarding, other winter activities include day and night-time snow tubing, snowmobile tours, ski/snowboard lessons, competitions and special events. Summer offerings include an 18-hole golf course, mountain bike trail network, hiking trails, scenic summer chairlift rides and special events/festivals. Lodging accommodations with conference facilities serve transient guests, conference groups and wedding parties. For further information see Section 2 -- Business Plan. Mount Snow was one of the early resorts to use snowmaking, the process of making snow to ensure reliable ski conditions. Initially, 7% of the mountain was covered by snowmaking. Today, almost 80% of the mountain can be covered by snowmaking. Mount Snow’s snowmaking fleet includes high-tech fan guns, which can produce large amounts of snow in a short period of time. Currently, water for snowmaking comes from three storage ponds totaling approximately 22 million gallons. All water withdrawals have been approved by state and federal regulations pursuant to the regulations in place at the time of construction. In 2011 Mount Snow received approval from the State of Vermont Agency of Natural Resources for its Master Development Plan. This plan includes the development of up to 900 residential units; development of 200,000 square feet of new skier service buildings; and mountain improvements including additional snowmaking and new ski lifts. The first phase of the master plan is the redevelopment of the Carinthia Base Area with up to 150 residential units, a new skier service lodge and a redesigned parking area. West Lake Project Both Mount Snow and the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (“VANR”) have long recognized the need to improve Mount Snow’s snowmaking system and bring its snowmaking sources into compliance with existing minimum flow requirements. Since the 1990s, Mount Snow has been working with the State to look for alternative sources of water for snowmaking and to bring water withdrawals into compliance with current standards. After exploring several options, a proposal to withdraw water from Cold Brook was identified as a viable alternative. Water will be withdrawn from Cold Brook and then pumped to West Lake, a 120-million-gallon water storage facility. From West Lake, water for snowmaking will be pumped to Mount Snow. West Lake will support future snowmaking expansion at Mount Snow Ski Resort and also address long-standing deficiencies of appropriate minimum flows at existing snowmaking water sources. On September 1, 2010, VANR released its “Flow Determination”

10

under the environmental protection rules – Chapter 16: Water Withdrawals for Snowmaking (Appendix B). This determination concluded that Mount Snow’s West Lake proposal was consistent with the rules and that VANR would permit the proposed Cold Brook water withdrawal, with various conditions pertaining to conservation flows, flow monitoring, system maintenance and others. Once West Lake is constructed and operational, Mount Snow’s plans include increasing snowmaking coverage to 100% of skiable terrain. This includes 157 acres of new snowmaking terrain, most of which (79%) is located on National Forest Service lands. The Project involves the installation of more than 40,000 feet of pipelines to carry water, air and/or electrical conduit for snowmaking operation. In October 2010, the U.S. Forest Service issued a Decision Notice approving the snowmaking expansion. Mount Snow’s West Lake Project is the culmination of nearly two decades of effort that will provide sufficient water to meet Mount Snow’s snowmaking demands for the foreseeable future, including all anticipated new trail construction, and allow all water withdrawals from Mount Snow’s current water supply sources to either be eliminated or brought into compliance with Vermont’s current snowmaking water withdrawal rules. To support the development of Mount Snow’s new snowmaking operations, Mount Snow will purchase two parcels of raw land in Wilmington, Vermont for development and operation of the water storage reservoir. Upon purchase of the two parcels, Mount Snow will enter into a Ground Lease Agreement with West Lake LLC (the “West Lake Ground Lease”). The West Lake Ground Lease will cover the property comprising the West Lake Project, its development and management, and will operate in tandem with a Water Use Agreement (described below) for supply of snowmaking water to the Mount Snow resort. With this, the West Lake Ground Lease will include use of the proposed pipeline. The West Lake Ground Lease will run for a term of fifty (50) years, with an option to extend for an additional forty-nine (49) years. Rent payments under the West Lake Ground Lease will be $10.00 per year, in addition to the sale of snowmaking water, as further provided in the Water Use Agreement. Mount Snow and West Lake LLC will also enter into a Water Use Agreement for the sale and distribution of snowmaking water to Mount Snow. The term of the Water Use Agreement, insurance requirements, maintenance obligations and default-related provisions will be consistent with the terms of the West Lake Ground Lease. Under the Water Use Agreement, Mount Snow will pay West Lake LLC $5,000.00 per one million gallons of snowmaking water, except as provided in the subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement. See “The Loan Facilities – Subordination.” Carinthia Ski Lodge Project The Carinthia Base Area, home to Mount Snow’s freestyle terrain parks, is a key portal to Mount Snow. Mount Snow has proposed the construction of a new approximately 36,000 square-foot ski lodge. The new Carinthia Ski Lodge will serve both day and overnight guests and include a cafeteria, restaurant, two bars, a retail shop, convenience store, ski rentals, ski school, lockers and a game room for kids. The new ski lodge will be the commercial guest services hub for future planned upscale accommodations that are to be built at the Carinthia base area as part of the Mount Snow master development plan. In addition, a new expanded paved parking lot is proposed that will replace the existing dirt lot. The new lot will address existing environmental concerns (iron seep, storm water runoff) that occur with the current parking lot. The Carinthia Ski Lodge Project will be developed on land currently owned and controlled by Mount Snow. Accordingly, Mount Snow will also enter into a Ground Lease Agreement with Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC (the “Carinthia Ground Lease” and, together with the West Lake Ground Lease, the “Ground Leases”) to support the construction of the new Carinthia Ski Lodge. Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC will manage all aspects of the proposed construction. Under the Carinthia Ground Lease, Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC will be granted the right of access over roads, parking areas, driveways, and sidewalks in connection

11

with the use of and access to the facility. Full use of the development will be granted to Mount Snow and expressly provided for in the Carinthia Ground Lease. The Carinthia Ground Lease will run for a term of fifty (50) years, with an option to extend for an additional forty-nine (49) years. Rent payments under the Carinthia Ground Lease will be $10.00 per year, except as provided in the subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement. See “The Loan Facilities-Subordination.” Permitting The West Lake Project including the snowmaking expansion received a decision notice from the U.S. Forest Service in October 2010. The West Lake Project also must be approved by State of Vermont regulatory agencies. The application is under review by the state and it is anticipated a permit will be issued by early 2014. In October 2010, Mount Snow submitted an Act 250 application with the State of Vermont for its master plan. In July 2011, the Vermont District Environmental Commission approved the master plan in concept. However, each construction project requires a separate application and the issuance of a permit to construct. Mount Snow anticipates that the permitting process for the construction phase is anticipated to conclude in calendar 2014. In addition, land development laws in Vermont determine when and how much land may be opened for development at any one time. Subject to approval by the applicable state, local and federal regulatory agencies under applicable laws and the approval and issuance of all permits required for construction of the Projects, both the West Lake Project and Carinthia Ski Lodge Project are expected to begin preliminary groundbreaking in 2014 The Partnership will not release funds for hard construction costs to the Developers until all applicable approvals and permits have been obtained. Project Cost The anticipated overall cost of the Project is $66,000,000, of which $52,000,000 is intended to be funded with the proceeds from this offering (assuming all Units offered hereby are sold) and will be supplemented with the additional investment in cash, land or value of $14,000,000 provided by Mount Snow. To the extent that the offering is not fully subscribed and less than $52,000,000 is raised, the Partnership will allocate up to the first $30,000,000 of subscriptions received and accepted to West Lake LLC for the development of the West Lake Project. The West Lake Project will be developed in three tranches consisting of $10,000,000 (tranche one), $12,500,000 (tranche two) and $7,500,000 (tranche three). To the extent that the general partner accepts subscriptions for any tranche and the proceeds resulting from such subscriptions do not equal the amount for such tranche set forth above, Mount Snow will be required to make alternative arrangements to finance the balance of the tranche. There can be no assurance that Mount Snow will be able to obtain such additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all. If and when subscriptions received exceed $30,000,000, the next $22,000,000 will be allocated to Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC for the development of the Carinthia Ski Lodge. To the extent that the general partner accepts subscriptions for the development of the Carinthia Ski Lodge and the proceeds resulting from such subscriptions do not equal $22,000,000, Mount Snow will be required to make alternative arrangements to finance the balance required to complete the Project. There can be no assurance that Mount Snow will be able to obtain such additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all.

EB-5 Visa Program The Project has been structured to help investors meet the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program and qualify via their investment in the Project to become eligible for admission to the United States as lawful permanent residents with the investor’s qualifying family members. 1. Amount of Investment; Targeted Employment Area: The EB-5 Visa Program typically calls for a minimum investment of $1,000,000 to be invested by EB-5 Investors; however, the minimum investment amount in the case of the Project is reduced to $500,000 because the Project is situated in a TEA. A TEA must meet one of two criteria, the first, concerning population, or the second, concerning high rates of unemployment in towns whose population equals or exceeds 20,000. The first criterion, concerning population, is the relevant criterion for the Project, as it states that if an investment is made in a town or city whose population is less than 20,000, and the town or city is not within a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) as designated by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, the investment is deemed to have been made in a TEA. The general partner believes that the Project is in a TEA because West Dover and Wilmington, Vermont have a population well below 20,000. 2. Counting Employment Positions Created; State of Vermont Regional Center: To qualify as an investor under the EB-5 Visa Program, each investor must demonstrate that 10 full-time, year-around employment positions will be created on account of the investment for U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents and other immigrants lawfully authorized to be employed in the United States. Non-immigrant (temporary) workers, the investor, the investor’s spouse and the investor’s children are excluded from the count. A full-time employment position (including one position shared by more than one employee) means one that requires at least 35 hours each week to fulfill. An employment position is deemed created when the worker is remunerated on the payroll of the new enterprise (the “Payroll Condition”). Independent contractors are excluded from the direct employment position creation count. An exception to the Payroll Condition is made if the enterprise is located within and affiliated with a regional center created under a pilot program first enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1992 that provides for the authorization of regional centers by the U.S. Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service (n/k/a USCIS). Enterprises located within and affiliated with a regional center are not required to employ 10 workers for each qualifying investment. Instead it suffices if the investor demonstrates that at least 10 qualifying employment positions will be created directly or indirectly on account of the investment. In June 1997, the State of Vermont, Agency of Commerce and Community Development (“ACCD”), was granted a designation as an approved regional center under this pilot program. An investment in a commercial enterprise situated within and affiliated with the regional center, the State of Vermont, that fosters economic expansion through increased exports, greater regional productivity, employment creation or additional domestic capital investment, qualifies for the broader view of employment creation. Accordingly, an investor in the Project, which is established in Vermont, is permitted to demonstrate that some, possibly all, of the employment positions created on account of the investment in the enterprise will be indirect employment positions, i.e., not on the payroll of the enterprise. In demonstrating the number of indirect employment positions created the investor may rely upon reasonable methodologies such as multiplier tables, feasibility studies, analyses of foreign and domestic markets for the goods or services to be exported, and other economically or statistically valid forecasting devices which indicate the likelihood that the business will result in increased employment. The general partner has commissioned an economic impact assessment to determine the number of employment positions expected to be created as a result of 104 EB-5 Investors each contributing $500,000 to the Project, and Resort Owner contributing $14,000,000. The methodology employed in the

13

assessment was derived from the IMPLAN software model developed by the Minnesota IMPLAN group. This analysis demonstrates that the combined Project development and business activities carried on by the Partnership is expected to create greater than 1040 permanent full time employment positions within the State of Vermont, ACCD regional center and within the United States by the year 2016

THE LOAN FACILITIES The proceeds from the offering will be used to fund two credit facilities that the Partnership will enter into with (1) West Lake LLC in the amount of up to $30,000,000 and (2) Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC in the amount of up to $22,000,000. To the extent that the offering is not fully subscribed and less than $52,000,000 is raised, up to the first $30,000,000 will be allocated to the West Lake facility and the credit facilities will be reduced accordingly. West Lake LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC are wholly owned subsidiaries of Mount Snow Ltd. The facilities will be used to develop the West Lake Project and the Carinthia Ski Lodge Project, respectively. Each facility will be represented by a non-revolving line of credit note and subject to the terms of a loan agreement. The following is a summary of certain material terms of the notes, the loan agreements and the guaranties of collection and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of such documents, which are included in Section 5 of this private placement memorandum. Interest. The loans bear interest at a rate of 1% per annum. Interest accrues on a simple interest basis and 1 is not compounded or capitalized and is payable in arrears semi-annually. In the event Borrower exercises the Extension Option in the Note, interest shall accrue on the unpaid Principal Sum on a simple interest basis as follows: (i) at a fixed rate of 7.0% per annum commencing on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the First Advance Date; and (ii) a fixed rate of 10.0% per annum commencing on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the First Advance Date until the Maturity Date. Such interest will not be compounded or capitalized. Interest payments shall be paid to the Lender in arrears by the Borrower by way of annual payments on December 1 of each year during which any portion of the Principal Sum is outstanding. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days commencing on the First Advance Date. The Developer may prepay the loan at any time subject to the condition that such prepayment does not negatively impact the capacity of the limited partners of the Partnership to be admitted to the United States under the EB-5 Visa Program. Maturity. The Borrower shall repay the Loan in full, together with any interest accrued but unpaid thereon, on the maturity date set forth in the Note. The Note shall automatically mature and be due and payable in full, together with any interest accrued but unpaid thereon, on the fifth anniversary date of the first Advance (“First Advance Date”) under the respective Note (the “Maturity Date”); provided, however, the Borrower may upon written consent of the Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, extend the Maturity Date for a period of up to an additional two (2) years (the “Extension Option”). If the Borrower exercises the Extension Option, then the term “Maturity Date” shall include the Extension Option. It is the Borrower's intention to repay the Principal Sum, together with any interest accrued but unpaid thereto, on the Maturity Date with the proceeds of long-term financing or from other 2 available sources.

The general partner expects that each Developer will make interest payments from income generated from the Project. See Business Plan in Section 2 of this private placement memorandum. Pending completion of the Projects and commencement of revenues, Mount Snow will put in place working capital facilities which the Developers may utilize to make interest payments to the Partnership. The general partner expects each Developer will consider a number of options to repay the loan to the Partnership upon maturity. Such options include but are not limited to: (1) a strategic refinancing of the facility; (2) reserving funds from operations; (3) the proceeds of a loan from Mount Snow or Peak Resorts; and (4) the purchase of the Developer’s assets by Mount Snow or Peak Resorts or another of its affiliates. See Risk Factors below beginning on page 24.

15

Prepayment. The Developer may prepay the loan at any time subject to the condition that such prepayment does not negatively impact the capacity of the limited partners of the Partnership to be admitted to the United States under the EB-5 Visa Program. Covenants. The loan agreement contains covenants with respect to: (a) the use of the proceeds of the advances to develop and construct the Project; (b) compliance with laws and maintenance of all authorizations necessary for the development of the Project; (c) preservation of existence; (d) maintenance and implementation of procedures necessary for the development of the Project; (e) maintenance of properties; (f) maintenance of insurance; (g) payment of taxes; (h) performance of obligations under the loan agreement; (i) inspection rights; and (j) assurances. The loan agreement prohibits the Developer from taking certain actions without the consent of the Partnership including: (i) creating any lien upon any of the properties or assets financed or purchased with the proceeds of the loan other than security interests with respect to money borrowed from the Partnership and permitted liens (as defined); (ii) transferring or granting a security interest other than permitted liens in any of the properties or assets financed or purchased with the proceeds of the loan; (iii) selling any equity interests to any person other than Peak Resorts, Inc. or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries or merging or consolidating with any person; (iv) guaranteeing the obligations of any other person, except endorsements of negotiable instruments for collection in the ordinary course of business; (v) other than transactions on terms no less favorable to the Developer than those that could reasonably be obtained at arms' length in the ordinary course of business, entering into any transaction with any affiliate; (vi) extending any credit to any affiliate or any other person; and (vii) granting any lien in, or otherwise encumber, any of its properties or other assets other than permitted liens. Default. The following shall constitute events of default: (a) failure to pay as and when due any principal or interest; (b) failure to observe any other obligation to be performed by the Developer under the loan agreement or under the note which is uncured for a period of 60 business days after the Developer becomes aware of the occurrence thereof; (c) any representation or warranty made by the Developer in the loan agreement was false or misleading in any material respect at the time when made; (d) any judgment involving an amount in excess of $100,000 is entered against the Developer and is undischarged for a period of 30 days; (e) the Developer makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors generally; (f) the commencement of any action for the dissolution or liquidation of the Developer, or the commencement of any case or proceeding for reorganization or liquidation of the Developer's debts under the Bankruptcy Code or similar law provided, however, that the Developer has 60 days to obtain the dismissal or discharge of any involuntary proceeding filed against it; (g) the appointment of a receiver for the Developer for a material portion of its property; (h) the loan agreement or the note ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect or shall be declared to be null and void or unenforceable in whole or in part; (i) other than liens in favor of the Partnership or liens otherwise consented to in writing by the Partnership, the imposition of any lien or series of liens against the Developer or any of the properties or other assets financed or purchased with the proceeds of the loan except permitted liens; (j) the Developer ceases to develop and construct the Project prior to completion; and (k) the guaranty described below ceases to be in effect. Remedies on Default. Upon an event of default the Partnership may declare all obligations, including all principal and interest, to be immediately due and payable, without protest, demand or other notice. Upon the occurrence of an event of default specified in clauses (e), (f) or (g) above, all advances, including all interest accrued but unpaid thereon, are immediately due and payable without any declaration by the Partnership. The Developer will pay the Partnership's fees incurred in any action seeking enforcement of its rights hereunder. No rights and remedies may be exercised upon an event of default if such rights or remedies would jeopardize any of the limited partners’ capacity to be admitted to the United States of

16

America as unconditional lawful permanent residents with their spouses and unmarried, minor children pursuant to the EB-5 Visa Program. Guaranty of Collection. Each Developer’s indebtedness to the Partnership is subject to a guaranty of collection from Peak Resorts. The word “indebtedness” means and includes any and all of the Developer’s liabilities, obligations, debts, and indebtedness to the Partnership that are incurred in connection with the loan and evidenced by the note. The guaranty is a guaranty of collection only, and not a guaranty of payment. As such, the Partnership acknowledges that upon an uncured default and lawful acceleration of indebtedness, the Partnership will resort first directly against the Developer and fully exhaust any and all legal remedies existing or available and shall have failed to collect the full amount of the indebtedness before proceeding against the guarantor; and (b) give notice of the terms, time, and place of any public or private sale of collateral held, if any, by the Partnership and comply with any other applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in Vermont, or any other applicable law. Under the terms of the facilities, the loans are not secured by any collateral. The guaranty contains a covenant with respect to the provision by the guarantor of financial information concerning the guarantor to a third party that is not affiliated with the guarantor or any of its affiliates. Subordination Mount Snow and the Developers, as the tenants under the Ground Leases, will enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with Mount Snow's existing lender, acknowledging the subordinate status of the applicable lease, but with such lender's agreement not to disturb such tenant's tenancy and possession of the West Lake and Carinthia Lodge properties in the event of any foreclosure, sale or other action or proceeding for the enforcement of the loan documents, or deed in lieu thereof; provided and on and subject to the condition that (i) at the time of such foreclosure or other enforcement proceeding or deed in lieu of foreclosure, the tenant under such lease is not in default, (ii) such tenant and lender or any transferee of the property, as the successor landlord, shall agree, (1) with respect to the Carinthia Ground Lease, to adjust rent under such lease to an amount equal the then market rent, and (2) with respect to the Water Use Agreement to cap the annual water use payments to an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $1,050,000.00 and (y) the principal amount owed by West Lake LLC pursuant to the West Lake Facility, multiplied by three and one-half percent (3.5%), and (iii) upon foreclosure, or other enforcement proceeding or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the sale of any and all ski lift tickets and ski rentals (and all other sales relating to or requiring access to and the use of the Mount Snow Resort) shall be managed by the lender or other transferee/successor landlord of the property, and the profits from such sales shall belong to lender or transferee/successor landlord; provided, however, any use of the lodge, or any part thereof, by such successor landlord shall be at market rent and subject to approval by the tenant..

U.S. IMMIGRATION FOR EB-5 INVESTORS The information with respect to the EB-5 Visa Program and other immigration matters provided in this private placement memorandum is not intended to be and should not be construed as legal advice. You should consult with your own counsel regarding United States immigration laws and your eligibility for participation in the EB-5 Visa Program. There can be no assurance that foreign investors will meet the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program and become lawful permanent residents of the United States. Please see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Immigration Process” for certain risks that you should consider prior to making an investment in the Partnership. The discussion of immigration matters below reflects the Partnership’s current understanding of applicable law, regulations and guidance from USCIS as of the date of this private placement memorandum. Such laws, regulations and guidance may change in the future and, in the event of any such changes, the investor and the Project will be required to comply with any new or modified conditions of the EB-5 Visa Program. Four Steps to Becoming a Lawful Permanent Resident through the EB-5 Visa Program As discussed below there are four steps to becoming a lawful permanent resident (“LPR”) of the United States through the EB-5 Visa Program: 

Filing and approval of an investor’s Form I-526, Immigration Petition for Alien Entrepreneur (the “I-526 Petition”);.



Application for an immigrant visa either through an application for immigrant visa with the Department of State (DOS) (to which we refer below as consular processing), or through adjustment of status in the United States with USCIS.



Upon admission on an EB-5 immigrant visa or approval of the adjustment of status, the alien is granted two-years of conditional permanent resident status.



Filing and approval of an investor’s Form I-829, Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions (“I-829 Petition”), which form must be filed at the end of the two-year conditional period. If the investor has fulfilled the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program, then the conditions will be removed and the investor will be an unconditional LPR.

Step One: The I-526 Petition For investors seeking lawful permanent residence in the United States as alien entrepreneurs, the first step in the process is to file the Form I-526 Petition, together with accompanying evidence that the investment meets the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program. Upon acceptance of your subscription and your admission as a limited partner, it is your sole responsibility and risk to file the I-526 Petition promptly. USCIS adjudicates I-526 petitions by reviewing these criteria, among others: 

New Commercial Enterprise: There must be evidence that shows that the enterprise is new and authorized to transact business.



Investment Capital: The petition must be supported by evidence that the petitioner has invested the minimum investment amount. USCIS expects these funds to be “at risk”, connoting an irrevocable commitment to the enterprise, and the funds must be used by the enterprise exclusively to create employment. Funds used to pay administrative costs or other obligations undertaken to promote the investment; to create reserve accounts or for any purpose that does not

18

lead to the creation of employment by the enterprise are not deemed “at risk”. Any commitment by the enterprise to the investor that is deemed to transform the relationship from an investment to a debt arrangement (for example, a promise to pay a fixed rate of return or to repay some or all of the investment on a date certain or to repay some or all of the investment irrespective of the financial performance of the project) will disqualify the invested funds from being deemed “at risk”. Funds that are not deemed “at risk” will not be counted towards the minimum sum required to be invested, possibly resulting in the denial of the I-526 Petition. 

Source of Capital: The investor must provide evidence that the investor legally acquired the investment capital. In support of the I-526 Petition, an investor should expect to provide detailed records demonstrating the personal and business financial transactions through which the investor acquired the invested funds, how the investor managed those funds during the entire period of ownership by the investor and demonstrating the transactions by which the funds were transferred by the investor into the commercial enterprise. Where countries require by law the filing of annual individual and business tax returns the investor should also expect to provide at least the last five years tax returns in certain instances, when, for example, the investor acquires investment funds as a gift, or in the case of the investor receiving loans from individuals or entities to acquire the investment funds, the donor or the lender, as the case may be, will be expected to provide financial records of comparable detail establishing that the funds were lawfully acquired. Funds earned or obtained in the United States while the investor was in unlawful immigration status are not deemed by USCIS to be lawfully acquired. If USCIS is not satisfied that the invested funds were acquired by the investor lawfully, such funds will not be counted towards the minimum required investment amount, potentially causing the I-526 Petition to fail. Investment in a commercial project under the EB-5 Visa Program is not appropriate for individuals who are unable or unwilling to provide all financial records that USCIS may require to demonstrate that invested funds have been lawfully acquired by the investor.



Managerial role: The investor is expected to participate in the management of the new enterprise by assisting in the formulation of the enterprise’s business policy, by participating in one or more of the activities permitted in Section 3423(b) of the Vermont Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (“VRULPA”), and as otherwise set forth in the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership Agreement provides that this management role consists, in part, of the right to replace the general partner under certain circumstances. Limited partner investors in a commercial enterprise under the EB-5 Visa Program must have all the rights and duties usually accorded to limited partners by the Uniform Limited Partnership Act (“ULPA”), as adopted in Vermont as VRULPA. The general partner believes that the Partnership Agreement satisfies these conditions. The investor is advised to seek counsel to review the Partnership Agreement for compliance with both VRULPA and immigration law requirements.

The I-526 Petition will be approved only if USCIS is satisfied that the all statutory criteria have been met. The determination of whether these criteria have been established is within the discretion of USCIS. USCIS may also request information about other aspects of the investment and the relationship of the investor to the enterprise. In the event that USCIS denies the I-526 Petition, the investor may not proceed with the next step in the immigration process which is consular processing or adjustment of status, as discussed below. Instead, the investor must decide whether to appeal the denial of the I-526 Petition, revise and re-file the I-526 Petition or abandon the prospect of obtaining LPR status through investment in the project.

19

Applicable law, regulations and guidance from USCIS have changed in the past and may do so in the future. In the event of any such changes affecting the I-526 Petition, the investor will be required to comply with any new or modified procedures. Step Two: Consular Processing or Adjustment of Status Approval of the I-526 Petition means that the foreign investor and the foreign investor’s spouse and children under the age of 21 years may apply for admission as conditional lawful permanent residents (“CLPR”). Approval of the I-526 Petition does not mean that the foreign investor has been granted admission to the United States as a lawful permanent resident. Approval of an I-526 Petition means that the investment documented by the I-526 Petition has qualified the foreign investor as an alien entrepreneur. The CLPR application for admission is a separate and subsequent process that concerns issues common to all aliens who wish to live in the United States permanently. Admission as a CLPR may be sought using one of two methods: consular processing or adjustment of status. Consular Processing Consular processing is designed for aliens living outside of the United States, or for those who prefer to process at a consulate for strategic reasons or as a matter of convenience or are ineligible to adjust status. Typically, the consular post, which is designated at the time the I-526 Petition is filed, is in the country of last residence, i.e., the last principal actual dwelling place. In their sole discretion, consulates issue visas, a travel document, usually affixed to a passport that authorizes the holder to seek admission to the United States at a port of entry. The visa is issued for an immigration status that a consul believes the visa applicant is qualified to hold. Under the EB-5 Visa Program, the visa may be sought from a consulate only after the investor’s I-526 Petition is approved. A foreign investor and the foreign investor’s spouse and qualifying children are granted immigrant visas. Use of these visas to enter the United States results in a grant of conditional lawful permanent residence. Before issuing an immigrant visa, the consular post must determine if each alien is admissible to the United States. Approval of the I-526 Petition does not by itself establish admissibility. In addition, an alien must prove that there are no grounds of inadmissibility and that the alien has proper travel documents. Waivers are available for certain of the many grounds of inadmissibility, but the grant of a waiver is in the discretion of the government and aliens seeking waivers experience lengthy delays in adjudication of waiver applications. Foreign investors should consult with immigration counsel to determine if any grounds of inadmissibility may affect the eligibility of the investor or the investor’s spouse or otherwise qualifying children for admission to the United States and if a waiver is available for such grounds of inadmissibility. If the consular post finds that the investor is admissible, it will issue an immigrant visa to the investor. The consular post will also determine if the spouse and the qualifying children of the investor are admissible. A determination of admissibility must be made as to each visa applicant. There is no guarantee that all members of the investor’s family will be granted an immigrant visa. If the investor is denied an immigrant visa, applications by the spouse and children of the investor for such a visa will also be denied. Consular processing subjects both the visa applicant and the I-526 Petition to the scrutiny of a second government agency whose decisions are not appealable. If the consular officer, based upon information not available to USCIS in its adjudications process, suspects fraud or misrepresentation in the I-526 Petition process or if the consul doubts the eligibility for lawful permanent resident status, the consul may return the case to USCIS for re-adjudication of the I-526 Petition. Consular processing begins when USCIS transmits the I-526 Petition of the foreign investor to the National Visa Center (“NVC”). In time, the applicants will be instructed to obtain fingerprints and medical examinations and to report to a consular interview. Immigrant visas usually are issued shortly

20

after the interview unless the consul detects problems in the visa application, the underlying I-526 Petition or during the interview process. The investor is advised to seek immigration counsel for guidance on the processing experience and potential delays in the consul office handling the investor’s application. Decisions by consuls are to be made in accordance with regulatory guidance on this process. However, consuls have broad authority and discretion under such regulatory procedures and their decisions are unreviewable. The investor should seek advice of immigration counsel regarding visa issuance guidelines. U.S. consuls advise that visa applicants should not change any living, employment, schooling or other lifestyle arrangements in their country of residence before they are issued an immigrant visa based upon an approved I-526 Petition. A visa authorizes the holder to seek admission to the United States at a port of entry. However, admission is subject to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“USCPB”) inspection discussed below. After issuance, immigrant visas generally remain valid for six months. During this period, the holder of the visa must use it to apply for admission to the United States at a designated port of entry. The port of entry is frequently in an international airport. When the foreign investor at the port of entry, he or she will present the immigrant visa and accompanying consular documents to a USCPB officer who has the authority to admit the foreign investor or to deny his or her admission to the United States as a CLPR. This process is known as inspection. Admission to the United States as a visitor or in most other non-immigrant statuses is predicated upon the intent to depart the country at the end of the period of admission. Investors should consult with immigration counsel to evaluate the risks associated with seeking temporary (non-immigrant) admission to the United States subsequent to making the investment or filing an I-526 Petition or an applicant for an immigrant visa. Despite best efforts, an inspector may deny admission under these circumstances. Such a denial may also result in a finding that the Investor is ineligible for immigration benefits or for admission into the United States. Adjustment of Status The adjustment of status (“AOS”) procedure is designed to permit aliens who have been admitted to the United States as non-immigrants to apply for admission as permanent residents without leaving the country. These non-immigrants must establish that they are admissible permanently, meeting the same standards as aliens who use consular processing to obtain a permanent resident visa. Aliens seeking AOS must also comply with all statutory and regulatory requirements relating to the submission of an I-485 Application. Aliens who do not meet these additional requirements will be required to use consular processing to obtain an immigrant visa, which will necessitate a departure from the United States. Aliens admitted in certain non-immigrant statuses may encounter more difficulties (and may not be successful) adjusting status than aliens admitted in other non-immigrant statuses. Investors seeking AOS should consult with immigration counsel regarding these issues before filing the I-526 Petition. During AOS processing, the applicant will be required to submit a medical examination and will receive instructions from USCIS regarding biometric data collection and an interview. The interview may be waived by USCIS at its discretion. There is no formal process to request the waiver of an interview. If the investor is interviewed, the spouse and children of the investor will be required to attend the interview. The USCIS California Service Center currently has jurisdiction of the AOS process for investors in the Project. The interview is conducted at a USCIS office near the investor’s residence. USCIS uses the interview to update information about AOS applicants that may have changed subsequent to the filing of

21

the AOS application and to explore any issue that USCIS believes is relevant to deciding the AOS case. Typically, but not always, CLPR is conferred on approved AOS applicants at the conclusion of the interview. Advance permission to depart the United States is issued routinely if the alien articulates a bona fide need to travel. An alien who leaves the United States without advance permission while an AOS application is pending is deemed to have abandoned that application unless the applicant has been admitted in and continues to hold valid H or L non-immigrant status pending adjudication of the AOS application. Alien investors admitted to the United States in any non-immigrant status who have obtained advance parole during the AOS process should consult with immigration counsel before traveling. If an alien is deemed to have abandoned an AOS application, the applicant must seek consular processing to obtain an immigrant visa at a U.S. consular post abroad. This process typically takes about one year, and during this period the applicant would be required to remain outside the United States. Applicants for AOS who wish to work in the United States must obtain employment authorization unless they have been admitted to the United States in a non-immigrant status that confers employment authorization and does not end before AOS is granted. Self-employment requires employment authorization. Employment in the United States without authorization is a violation of immigration status and may jeopardize the right to adjust status. AOS is granted in the discretion of USCIS. An alien whose AOS application has been denied may request that the case be re-considered by the same office that denied AOS. If the request to re-open or reconsider the case is denied, or, if, after such a review, the alien fails to convince this office to reverse its original decision, the alien is without further recourse. AOS applicants should not make any permanent connections to the United States or change any permanent living, employment, schooling or other lifestyle arrangements in their country of residence before they are issued AOS based upon an approved I-526 Petition. Step Three: Conditional Lawful Permanent Resident Status Approval of an AOS application or the grant of an immigrant visa followed by entry into the United States means that the investor and the spouse and qualified children of the investor have been granted CLPR for two years. The “conditions” must be removed so that the aliens may reside permanently in the United States. Failure to remove the conditions results in the termination of CLPR status and will result in the commencement of removal proceedings. Step Four: Removal of Conditions In order to remove conditions on his or her conditional permanent residence, the foreign investor must file the I-829 Petition in the 90 day period immediately preceding the second anniversary of the grant of CLPR status. In support of the I-829 Petition, the foreign investor must demonstrate full investment in the enterprise, that the investment was sustained continuously since becoming a CLPR and compliance with the requirement that 10 employment positions have been created as a result of the investment. The general partner will without liability use reasonable efforts to assist foreign investors’ legal counsel with the filing of their I-829 Petitions. The Partnership will instruct the general partner to engage with, delegate to, and the Partnership shall reasonably compensate qualified persons in the assembly and preparation of documents, reports and required verification of requisite job creation in connection with and in support of the foreign investor’s I-829 Petition. It is at the sole responsibility and risk of the foreign investor to file the I-829 Petition in the 90 day period immediately preceding the second anniversary of the grant of CLPR status at the investor’s sole expense. There is no refund of the capital contribution or administrative fee for delay or failure for any reason whatsoever to file an I-829 Petition.

22

The California Service Center currently has jurisdiction to decide a petition to remove conditions. It is authorized to approve an I-829 Petition, seek additional written information before deciding the petition, refer the petition to a local office where information will be elicited in an interview, or, it may deny the petition. If the petition is referred for an interview, the local office of USCIS will decide the petition after the interview. During the pendency of the petition, aliens admitted in CLPR status remain in valid status even if the petition is not decided before the expiry of the two year period of admission. Improper denials of and delays in obtaining documents evidencing extended CLPR status are sometimes experienced. CLPR is extended in one year increments or until the I-829 Petition is adjudicated. USCIS regulations control the process of removal of conditions. These regulations may change in the future. The investor will be expected to comply with and proceed with removal of condition under the regulations in effect at the time the investor seeks removal of conditions. There cannot be any assurance that USCIS will not change the requirements for removal of conditions after investors are granted CLPR status through investment in the Project. There cannot be any assurance that an investor will able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of USCIS that the Project is operating within its business plan, that it has created the requisite employment positions at the time required by USCIS or that any other requirements for the removal of conditions have been met.

Sunset of Regional Center Proposals under the EB-5 Visa Program By virtue of recent amendments to the enabling legislation, the regional center pilot program has been extended through September 30, 2015. Thereafter, if the regional center pilot program lapses, for each investor whose case is filed with USCIS but not adjudicated on or before the date of lapse, such investor’s $500,000 capital contribution will remain invested in the Partnership provided: 1.

The regional center pilot program is reauthorized retroactively or is pending reauthorization within a twelve month period following sunset, and the investor's I-526 Petition is in due course adjudicated; or,

2.

Legislation is enacted or pending providing substantially similar immigration benefits to investors under the former EB-5 regional center program within a twelve month period following sunset.

If none of the events described in 1 or 2 occur, or are not pending as stated, at the investor’s election, the investor may (1) remain invested in the Project; or, (2) make a written request to the general partner for a refund of the capital contribution of $500,000. Within 90 days of the general partner’s receipt of a request for a refund, the capital contribution will be refunded by the Partnership to the investor. In any such event, the investor’s rights are limited solely to the return of his or her capital contribution.

23

RISK FACTORS Interests should be purchased only by persons with sufficient resources to assume the economic risks inherent in the Project. Because of the lack of liquidity involved, no person should become a limited partner unless he or she can afford to invest in the Partnership on a long-term basis. There can be no assurance that the Developers will be able to service and repay the Partnership’s loans, and it is possible that the partners’ total investment in the Partnership will be lost. Set forth below is a brief description of certain special factors and risks associated with investment in the Partnership and the business of the Partnership, the Developers, Mount Snow and Peak Resorts. Other risks not presented here or which are not currently known to the Partnership may affect the results and operations of the Partnership. Risks Related to an Investment in the Partnership and the Business of the Partnership, the Developers, Mount Snow and Peak Resorts There is no guaranty that investors in the Partnership will receive a return of their capital. According to the guidelines of USCIS relating to investments made within a project approved under the EB-5 Visa Program, an investment within such a project must be fully at-risk. In order to ensure that the capital invested by each EB-5 investor remains fully at risk for the period of time required under the EB-5 Visa Program, the Partnership Agreement specifically prohibits the Partnership from returning any portion of the capital investment amount prior to the approval of the EB-5 investor’s I-829 Petition. In addition, there is no guarantee that the loans will be repaid by the Developers to the Partnership upon maturity which, may be extended from five years to seven years. The general partner expects that each Developer will consider a number of options to repay the loan to the Partnership upon maturity. However, there can be no assurance that the Developers will be successful in completing any refinancing or other transaction that will result in proceeds that will enable the Developers repay the loans to the Partnership in full. In any such event the Partnership may pursue any remedies available to it as an unsecured creditor of the Developers and may also seek recourse to the guaranty of Peak Resorts of the facilities for any unpaid amounts. The guaranty is not secured by any assets of Peak Resorts and there can be no assurance that Peak Resorts will have sufficient resources to satisfy the guaranty. Any failure by the Developers to repay the loans or by Peak Resorts to satisfy the guaranty may have a material adverse effect on the ability of the limited partners to receive a return of their capital and may result in the complete loss of their investment. Risks inherent in construction and development projects may result in substantial unanticipated delays or budget overruns and could prevent completion of the Project. The Project being developed by West Lake LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC will be subject to the risks normally associated with construction and development activities. The anticipated costs and construction periods for the Project are based upon budgets, conceptual design documents and construction schedule estimates prepared by Mount Snow in consultation with its engineers, architects, contractors and other advisors. The Developers’ construction and development activities may be materially affected by the availability and timely receipt of zoning and other regulatory approvals, adverse weather or labor conditions, material shortages, construction, equipment or staffing requirements or problems and other unpredictable contingencies beyond the control of the general partner and the Partnership. These risks could result in substantial unanticipated delays or budget overruns and under certain circumstances could prevent completion of construction and development activities once undertaken. In addition, although Mount Snow’s master plan has been approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the State of Vermont Natural Resources Board under Act 250, the Project is subject to environmental review and analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act, and Peak Resorts must also submit applications for the construction phases in order to proceed with the redevelopment, including the Project. In addition, construction and approval of all plans and specifications for improvements to the properties subject to the Ground Leases are subject to certain approval rights of Mount Snow’s existing lender.

24

Obtaining all required approvals and permits may result in unanticipated delays in the commencement of construction. There is also a risk that approvals and permits may be conditioned on making changes that increase the cost of implementing the Project. There may be conflicts between the interests of the general partner of the Partnership and the interests of the limited partners. The affairs of the Partnership will be managed by the general partner. The sole member of the general partner is Mount Snow. West Lake LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC, the two entities developing the Project and to which the Partnership will loan funds via the facilities, are wholly owned subsidiaries of Mount Snow Ltd. Accordingly, the Partnership is subject to potential conflicts of interest arising out of the relationship between the general partner and its affiliates. No assurance can be given that disputes or conflicts will not arise between the Partnership and the Developers or that such disputes or conflicts will not be resolved in a manner that has a material adverse effect on the Partnership. The Project is subject to further approval under Vermont’s Act 250 and other land development laws. In October 2010, Mount Snow submitted an Act 250 application with the State of Vermont for its master plan, and in July 2011, the Vermont District Environmental Commission approved the master plan in concept. However, each construction project requires a separate application and the issuance of a permit to construct. In addition, land development laws in Vermont determine when and how much land may be opened for development at any one time. Subject to approval by the applicable state, local and federal regulatory agencies under applicable laws and the approval and issuance of all permits required for construction of the projects, both the West Lake Project and Carinthia Ski Lodge Project are expected to begin preliminary groundbreaking in 2014. However, there is no assurance that Mount Snow will be able to obtain the required approvals and permits in a timely manner, or at all. This could result in a delay of the Project or the inability to move forward with the Project altogether. Although the Partnership will not release funds for hard construction costs to the Developers until all applicable approvals and permits have been obtained, the inability of the Developers to move forward with the Project would affect the ability of the EB-5 Investors to obtain a visa under the EB-5 Visa Program. We may require substantial additional funds to complete the Project if all of the Units being offered are not sold. The anticipated overall cost of the Project is $66,000,000, of which $52,000,000 is intended to be funded with the proceeds from this offering and will be supplemented with the additional investment in cash, land or value of $14,000,000 provided by Mount Snow. To the extent that the offering is not fully subscribed and less than $52,000,000 is raised, the Partnership will allocate up to the first $30,000,000 of subscriptions received and accepted to West Lake LLC for the development of the West Lake Project. The West Lake Project will be developed in three tranches consisting of $10,000,000 (tranche one), $12,500,000 (tranche two) and $7,500,000 (tranche three). To the extent that the general partner accepts subscriptions for any tranche and the proceeds resulting from such subscriptions do not equal the amount for such tranche set forth above, Mount Snow will be required to make alternative arrangements to finance the balance of the tranche. If and when subscriptions received exceed $30,000,000, the next $22,000,000 will be allocated to Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC for the development of the Carinthia Ski Lodge Project. To the extent that the general partner accepts subscriptions for the development of the Carinthia Ski Lodge Project and the proceeds resulting from such subscriptions do not equal $22,000,000, Mount Snow will be required to make alternative arrangements to finance the balance required to complete the Project. There can be no assurance that Mount Snow will be able to obtain any required additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that such additional financing is required but cannot be obtained, it could result in substantial delays or could prevent completion of construction and development of the Project. To the extent that Mount Snow obtains such financing through the issuance of additional debt, such debt may have rights and preferences senior to the loans made by the

25

Partnership to the Project. In addition, any such debt financing, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting the ability to take specific actions. Peak Resorts and Mount Snow currently rely on one lender and its affiliates as a source for financing and credit. Peak Resorts and Mount Snow have historically relied on one lender and its affiliates for substantially all of their financing and credit needs. In the event that Peak Resorts or Mount Snow is in default under the credit facilities with this lender, or if the lender is otherwise not available to extend credit for any reason, Peak Resorts or Mount Snow may not be able to obtain financing on terms as favorable as those under its arrangements with this lender, if at all. As a result, if West Lake LLC and/or Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC are unable to repay the loans upon maturity of the facilities, Peak Resorts may not be in a position to satisfy its guaranty of payment of the loans from the Partnership. The land upon which the Projects are being developed is subject to an existing mortgage, which if foreclosed, could affect the developers’ interests in the Projects. The land upon which each project is being developed is owned (or to be owned) by Mount Snow, and the Developers of the Project are to enter into the Ground Leases with Mount Snow. Under the terms of each Ground Lease, each Developer will be leasing the underlying land for approximately fifty (50) years at an annual rent of $10.00 per year with the developer being responsible for paying all costs of maintaining and operating each Project. This land is subject to a mortgage held by the lender to Peak Resorts and Mount Snow. The mortgage currently secures approximately $100 million in debt of Mount Snow, Peak Resorts and other affiliates of Peak Resorts. If there is an event of default under any of such indebtedness, the lender would be entitled to foreclose the mortgage (or exercise other remedies). While the lender has entered into an agreement whereby it has agreed not to disturb such tenant's tenancy and possession of the West Lake and Carinthia Lodge properties in the event of any foreclosure, sale or other action or proceeding for enforcement or deed in lieu of foreclosure, such agreement also provides that upon foreclosure, such tenant and lender or any transferee of the property, as the successor landlord, shall agree, with respect to the Carinthia Ground Lease, to adjust rent under such Ground Lease to an amount equal to the then market rent, and upon foreclosure, the sale of any and all ski lift tickets and ski rentals (and all other sales relating to or requiring access to and the use of the Mount Snow Resort) shall be managed by the lender or other transferee/successor landlord of the property, and the profits from such sales shall belong to lender or transferee/successor landlord. Such agreement further provides that annual water payments under the Water Use Agreement shall be capped to an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $1,050,000.00, and (ii) the principal amount owed by West Lake LLC pursuant to the West Lake Facility, multiplied by three and one-half percent (3.5%). Based on our forecasts, profits from such sales are expected to account for up to 80% of the profits generated by the Carinthia Ski Lodge. Accordingly, a default under such indebtedness and foreclosure of the mortgage (or exercise other remedies), would negatively affect the ability of the Developers to service the interest payment on the loan facilities, to repay the loan facilities upon maturity and would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the limited partners to receive a return of their capital and may result in the complete loss of their investment. See also “The Loan Facilities-Subordination.” In addition, the lender also has a security interest in the capital stock of Mount Snow. Accordingly, if there is an event of default under any of such indebtedness, the lender would be entitled to exercise its rights under the security interest, which could also negatively affect the ability of the Developers to service the interest payment on the loan facilities and to repay the loan facilities upon maturity. The agreements with the current lender prohibit Peak Resorts and its affiliates from incurring additional debt. The agreements with the current lender prohibit Peak Resorts and its affiliates from incurring additional debt. The lender’s consent was obtained to allow West Lake LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC to enter into the loan facilities with the Partnership and to allow Peak Resorts to guarantee the collection of such

26

indebtedness. If additional funding is needed to complete the Project, consent will need to be obtained from the lender to obtain additional debt. There can be no assurance that the lender will provide such consent. If the Developers are not able to obtain the required consent from the lender to obtain additional funding, the ability of the Developers to complete the Project will be materially and adversely affected. Assumptions underlying financial projections may be inaccurate and/or incomplete. Any projected financial information included in this private placement memorandum is based on assumptions that the general partner believed to be reasonable at the time they were made; however, such information necessarily involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements contained in such information. There can be no assurance that the assumptions on which such information is based will prove to be accurate. No representation or warranty of any kind is made with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any projected financial information or the assumptions underlying them. Any projected financial information should not be relied upon in connection with making an investment decision in the Partnership. Any projected financial information was not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the SEC, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or generally accepted accounting principles. Unless otherwise noted, the Partnership did not retain independent accountants to prepare or review any projected financial information and, accordingly, no independent accountant is expressing an opinion with respect thereto. The ski resort business is vulnerable to the risk of unseasonably warm weather conditions and skier perceptions of weather conditions. The ability to attract visitors to the Mount Snow Resort is influenced by weather conditions and by the number of cold weather days during the ski season. Unseasonably warm weather can adversely affect skier visits and the revenues and profits generated by the resort. For example, warm weather may result in inadequate natural snowfall and render snowmaking wholly or partially ineffective in maintaining quality skiing conditions. Also, the early season snow conditions and skier perceptions of early season snow conditions influence the momentum and success of the overall season. There is no way to predict future weather patterns or the impact that weather patterns may have on the results of operations or visitation at the resort. During the 2011/2012 ski season, Mount Snow experienced historic low snowfall. This resulted in lower than expected revenues. Revenues for the 2011/12 season were 19% below projected and 10.7% below the average of the previous three years. This resulted in an EBITDA of 42% below projected and 32% below the average of the previous three years. The operating margin in 2011/12 was 19.9% compared with 28.8% projected and 24.3% averaged over the previous three years. The ski resort business is highly seasonal and the occurrence of certain events during peak times could have a negative effect on revenues and the Developers’ ability to service the loan and repay the facilities. Ski resort operations are highly seasonal. Although the air temperatures and timing and amount of snowfall can influence the number and type of skier visits, the majority of the skier visits are from midDecember to the end of March. Accordingly, the significant majority of Mount Snow’s revenues are generated during the third and fourth fiscal quarters and in those periods the highest revenues are generated on weekends and during three major holiday periods: Christmas, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Weekend and Presidents Weekend. This high degree of seasonality and dependence on weekends and the three major ski holidays increases the impact of certain events on operating results. Adverse weather conditions, equipment failures, and other developments of even moderate or limited duration occurring during these peak business periods could significantly reduce revenues and cash flows and adversely affect the Developers’ ability to service the loans and repay the facilities.

27

Mount Snow competes with other leisure activities and ski areas, which makes maintaining the customer base difficult. The skiing industry is highly competitive and capital intensive. Mount Snow competes against other ski areas in their markets for both day skiers and extended travel skiers. Its competitive position depends on a number of factors, such as the quality and coverage of snowmaking operations, resort size, the attractiveness of terrain, lift ticket prices, prevailing weather conditions, the appeal of related services and resort reputation. Some of Mount Snow’s competitors have stronger competitive positions in respect of one or more of these factors, which may adversely affect its ability to maintain or grow its customer base. Mount Snow also faces competition from various alternative leisure activities. Mount Snow’s ability to maintain levels of skier visits depends on, among other things, weather conditions, costs of lift tickets and related skier services relative to the costs of other leisure activities and its ability to attract people interested in recreational sports. Mount Snow is subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations. Mount Snow’s operations are subject to a variety of federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to emissions to the air; discharges to water; storage, treatment and disposal of wastes; land use; remediation of contaminated sites; and protection of natural resources such as wetlands. The facilities at Mount Snow are subject to risks associated with mold and other indoor building contaminants. From time to time its operations are subject to inspections by environmental regulators or other regulatory agencies. It is also subject to worker health and safety requirements. Efforts to comply with applicable laws do not eliminate the risk that Mount Snow may be held liable, incur fines or be subject to claims for damages, and that the amount of any liability, fines, damages or remediation costs may be material for, among other things, the presence or release of regulated materials at, on or emanating from properties it now owns or leases and operates, or formerly owned, leased or operated, newly discovered environmental impacts or contamination at or from any of its properties, or changes in environmental laws and regulations or their enforcement. The costs or liabilities could exceed the value of the affected real estate and could have a material adverse effect on the ability of the limited partners to receive a return of their capital and may result in the complete loss of their investment. The high fixed cost structure of ski resort operations can result in significantly reduced cash flows if revenues decline. The cost structure of ski resort operations has a significant fixed component with variable expenses including, but not limited to, resort related fees, credit card fees, retail/rental cost of sales and labor, ski school labor and dining operations. Any material declines in the economy, elevated geopolitical uncertainties and/or significant changes in historical snowfall patterns, as well as other risk factors discussed herein, could adversely affect revenue. As such, the margins, profits and cash flows of Mount Snow may be materially reduced due to declines in revenue given the relatively high fixed cost structure. In addition, increases in wages and other labor costs, energy, healthcare, insurance, transportation, fuel, and other expenses included in fixed cost structure may also reduce margins, profits and cash flows. A substantial portion of the skiable terrain at Mount Snow is used under the terms of Forest Service permits. A substantial portion of the skiable terrain at Mount Snow is federal land that is used under the terms of a permit with the United States Forest Service. The permit gives the United States Forest Service the right to review and comment on the location, design, and construction of improvements in the permit area and on certain other operational matters. The permit expires on April 4, 2047 but can also be terminated or modified by the United States Forest Service for specific compelling reasons or in the event the permit holder fails to perform any of its obligations under the permits. Otherwise, the permits may be renewed. A natural disaster could damage property and reduce the number of guests who visit the Mount Snow Ski Resort.

28

A severe natural disaster, such as a forest fire, flood or landslide, may interrupt our operations, damage our properties and reduce the number of guests who visit Mount Snow and other Peak Resorts’ ski areas. Damage to property could take a long time to repair and there is no guarantee that there would be adequate insurance to cover the costs of repair or the expense of the interruption to business. Furthermore, such a disaster may interrupt or impede access to the affected properties or require evacuations and may cause visits to affected properties to decrease for an indefinite period. The ability to attract visitors to ski resorts is also influenced by the aesthetics and natural beauty of the outdoor environment where the resorts are located. A severe forest fire or other severe impacts from naturally occurring events could negatively impact the natural beauty of a resort and have a long-term negative impact on overall guest visitation as it would take several years for the environment to recover. The loss of key executive officers would harm Mount Snow’s business. Mount Snow’s success depends to a significant extent upon the performance and continued service of Peak Resorts’ key management team which includes Timothy Boyd, its president and principal executive officer, Stephen Mueller, its vice president and principal financial and accounting officer, and Richard Deutsch, its vice president in charge of business and real estate development. The loss of the services of this management team could have a material adverse effect on business and operations because of Messrs. Boyd’s, Mueller’s and Deutsch’s specific and unique knowledge of acquiring and operating multiple ski resorts, including day ski areas and overnight drive ski areas. Mount Snow depends on a seasonal workforce. Mount Snow’s mountain and lodging operations are highly dependent on a large seasonal workforce. Mount Snow recruits year-round to fill thousands of seasonal staffing needs each season and works to manage seasonal wages and the timing of the hiring process to ensure the appropriate workforce is in place. There is no guarantee that material increases in the cost of securing this seasonal workforce will not be necessary in the future. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that Mount Snow will be able to recruit and hire adequate seasonal personnel as the business requires. Increased seasonal wages or an inadequate workforce could have an adverse impact on Mount Snow’s results of operations, and the ability of West Lake LLC and/or Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC to repay the loans upon maturity of the facilities. The nature of the ski resort business subjects Mount Snow and Peak Resorts to litigation in the ordinary course of business. The safety of guests and employees is a major concern and focus for all ski resorts. By the nature of the activities, ski resorts and their owners are exposed to the risk that guests or employees may be involved in accidents during the use, operation or maintenance of ski lifts, rides and other resort facilities. As a result, Mount Snow and Peak Resorts are, from time to time, subject to various asserted or unasserted legal proceedings and claims. Any such claims, regardless of merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to defend and could divert management’s attention and resources. While it is believed that there is adequate insurance coverage and/or accrual for loss contingencies for all known matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated, there can be no assurance that the outcome of all current or future litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of Mount Snow and/or Peak Resorts. A disruption in water supply would impact snowmaking capabilities and adversely affect operations. Mount Snow is subject to state laws and regulations regarding its use of water. There can be no assurance that applicable laws and regulations will not change in a manner that could have an adverse effect on development of the West Lake Project, or that important permits, licenses, or agreements will not be canceled or will be renewed on terms as favorable as the current terms. Any failure to have access to adequate water supplies to support current operations and the Project would have a material adverse effect on Mount Snow and the Partnership’s ability to achieve the objectives described in the Business Plan, including the job creation objectives.

Peak Resorts is structured as a holding company and has no assets other than the equity and membership interests in its subsidiaries. Peak Resorts is a holding company and it does not currently have any material assets other than equity and membership interests in its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Peak Resorts working capital needs are dependent, in part, upon the receipt of dividends and other distributions from its subsidiaries. Certain laws may restrict or limit such payments to Peak Resorts by its subsidiaries. Accordingly, if West Lake LLC and/or Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC are unable to repay the loans upon maturity of the facilities, Peak Resorts may not be in a position to satisfy its guaranty of the loans from the Partnership. There is no public market for the Units, and you must be prepared to hold your investment for an indefinite period of time. There is not now, and there is not expected to be, a trading market for the Units. The Units are “restricted securities” within the meaning of applicable securities laws and may not be sold or otherwise transferred by you in the absence of a registration statement covering the Units or pursuant to an exemption from such registration. The Partnership has no obligation to register Units and does not currently intend to do so. In addition, the Units are subject to restrictions on transfer under the Partnership agreement which substantially restricts your ability to transfer the Units. Accordingly, if you purchase a Unit, you must be prepared to hold your investment for an indefinite period of time. There are substantial U.S. federal and state income tax risks associated with an investment in the Partnership. There are substantial U.S. federal and state income tax risks associated with an investment in the Partnership. For instance, the Partnership will not be subject to entity-level federal income tax. Instead, each partner will be required annually to take into account its respective distributive share of the Partnership’s items of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, without regard to whether any distributions are made by the Partnership. Accordingly, partners may recognize taxable income for federal, state and local income tax purposes without receiving any or a sufficient distribution from the Partnership with which to pay the taxes thereon. For additional risks and other important information, see “Federal Income Tax Consequences.” Mount Snow is involved in a dispute with a consultant it engaged in connection with this offering. Mount Snow currently has a dispute pending before the American Arbitration Association in connection with a breach of contract claim with a consulting firm that was engaged to provide certain services in connection with this offering. Both parties allege that a breach of contract has occurred. Mount Snow believes that it has substantial legal and factual defenses to the breach of contract claim alleged by the consultant, and it intends to pursue these defenses vigorously. While it is not possible to estimate potential, if any, damages that Mount Snow may be required to pay as a result of this claim, this dispute is not expected to have a material impact on Mount Snow or on this offering. Certain fees and expenses in connection with this dispute, including any costs of settlement, will be paid by Mount Snow’s parent company Peak Resorts.

Risk Factors Related to the Immigration Process Prospective investors should consult with counsel familiar with U.S. immigration laws and practice. Purchase of a Unit in the Partnership does not guarantee you will receive lawful permanent residence in the United States. Among the risk factors that you should consider when making your decision to invest in this offering are those that relate to the immigration process including, but not limited to the following set forth below. General USCIS may modify its practices under the EB-5 Visa Program by providing updated guidance to its examiners. On occasion, but not consistently, USCIS publishes instructions for the use of EB-5 Investors and their counsel. EB-5 Investors and their counsel often first become aware of new practices and policies through the adjudication process for I-526 or I-829 Petitions. If such modifications occur, EB-5 Investors may be required to provide new information or modified business plans or other modifications to an EB-5 Project during the adjudication process to comply with USCIS requirements that were unknown to investors and their counsel at the time an I-526 Petition or an 1-829 Petition was filed. Changes in applicable law, regulations and guidance may also occur from time-to-time, which may have the effect of requiring EB-5 Projects and EB-5 Investors to provide new information or modify their previous submissions to satisfy new requirements. There can be no assurance that such modifications will not be required in this Project on account of new policies, practices, laws or regulations not effective or not known at this time. There can be no assurance that this Project will be able to modify its business plan or take other actions that may be required to comply with yet unknown requirements. The investor should retain legal counsel for continuing advice on these matters. While efforts have been made to structure this offering so that foreign investors may be able to satisfy the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program and qualify as “alien entrepreneurs,” (which is only a preliminary step to becoming eligible for admission to the United States with their spouse and unmarried minor children as lawful permanent residents), no representations can be made and no guarantees can be given that investment in the Partnership will guarantee or otherwise assure that your I-526 Petition will be granted by USCIS or, if it is, that investors with their spouse and such children will obtain conditional or unconditional lawful permanent resident status. Loan model The Partnership will loan the proceeds of the offering to West Lake LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC to develop the Project. The loans will be subject to a guaranty of collection by Peak Resorts. The general partner is aware that, in the past, USCIS has questioned whether a loan structure in which a lender extends one loan to a developer satisfies the requirement that the lender be an “ongoing commercial enterprise” under the INA. The general partner believes that structuring the loans as lines of credit with multiple advances to more than one developer may address USCIS’ concern. However, there can be no assurance that USCIS will accept that the structure is permissible under the EB-5 Visa Program or, if it does so currently, that USCIS will not change its interpretation subsequently and disqualify the loan model contemplated by this offering as permissible under the EB-5 Visa Program. In addition, under the EB-5 Visa Program any commitment by the enterprise to the investor that is deemed to transform the relationship from an investment to a debt arrangement will disqualify the invested funds from being deemed “at risk” and will not be counted towards the minimum sum required to be invested. The general partner does not believe that the guaranty of collection in favor of the Partnership that is being provided by Peak Resorts disqualifies the investment from being deemed “at risk” since the investors are making an equity investment in the Partnership that is not subject to the guaranty and they have no commitment from the Partnership that their equity capital will be returned or

31

what, if any, rate of return will be realized on the investment. The general partner is aware that similar arrangements have passed muster with USCIS in the past but no ruling is being requested from USCIS with respect to this matter and there can be no assurance that USCIS will not change its interpretation subsequently and disqualify the arrangement contemplated by this offering as permissible under the EB-5 Visa Program. If USCIS determines that the loan and guaranty model described in the private placement memorandum and implemented by the Subscription Documents does not qualify under the EB-5 Visa Program for any reason, then petitions filed by EB-5 Investors may not be granted resulting in a denial of an investor’s petition for permanent residency in the United States. Approval of investments in the Project There is no procedure in the INA or its enabling regulations to pre-qualify an investment for the EB-5 Visa Program. Individual investor applications on Form I-526 must be filed with USCIS by the foreign investor to determine the suitability of the Project and the partnership interests for immigration purposes under 8 U.S.C. § 1153 (b)(5)(a) - (d); INA § 203 (b)(5)(a) - d). USCIS may deny such an application. Processing times USCIS and USDOS processing times for I-526 Petitions and the adjustment of status or consular processing cases are not predictable, notwithstanding published processing times by these agencies. Delays in processing may occur. USCIS and USDOS advise investors not to make changes in any living, employment, schooling or other lifestyle arrangements before receiving CLPR through the EB-5 Visa Program. Government filing fees Government filing fees may change. Such changes may increase the immigration filing costs to an investor who has made an investment in the Project and who is waiting to file an I-526 Petition or a consular processing or AOS case (and collateral applications for employment authorization and advanced permission to travel). Limitations on return of funds if I-526 Petition is denied In general, once the General Partner accepts the investment and the funds are released from escrow, the funds are nonrefundable. However, an investor may seek a return of the $500,000 capital contribution and a portion of the $50,000 administrative fee if his or her I-526 petition is denied. Any return of funds is subject to the discretion of the General Partner, and requires that an investor has made a good faith effort to secure USCIS approval of his or her I-526 petition. A request for the return of capital and a portion of the administrative fee must be made in writing to the General Partner. Additionally, the EB-5 Visa Program, by virtue of recent amendments to the regional center pilot program enabling legislation, has been extended through September 30, 2015. Thereafter, if the regional center pilot program lapses, for each investor whose case is filed with USCIS but not adjudicated on or before the date of lapse, such investor’s $500,000 capital contribution will remain invested in the Partnership provided: (1) The regional center pilot program is reauthorized retroactively or is pending reauthorization within a twelve month period following sunset, and the investor's I-526 petition is in due course adjudicated; or (2) Legislation is enacted or pending providing substantially similar immigration benefits to investors under the former EB-5 regional center program within a twelve month period following sunset. If none of the events described in 1 or 2 occur, or are not pending as stated, at the investor’s election, the investor may (1) remain invested in the Project; or, (2) make a written request to the general partner for a refund of the capital contribution of $500,000. Within 90 days of the general partner’s receipt of a request for a refund, the capital contribution will be refunded by the Partnership.

32

Targeted employment areas and the minimum investment amount As a general rule, the EB-5 Visa Program calls for a minimum investment of $1,000,000 USD. This sum may be reduced to $500,000 USD if the EB-5 Project that receives the investment is situated in a TEA. The eligibility of an EB-5 Project to accept $500,000 USD investments is questioned if the project was situated in a TEA at the time the investment was made but is not in a TEA at the time the I-526 Petition is filed. In the case of a TEA based upon the project's location in a rural area, this difference might occur because during this interim period new population data is published or because a new MSA is described to include the location of the project, albeit within a rural area. In the event of a change between the date of the investment and the date of the filing of the I-526 Petition, USCIS has said that it will consider the project to be within a TEA at the time of the investment if the invested funds were available to the project to undertake employment creation before the I-526 Petition was filed. In this Project, USCIS should apply this standard inasmuch as the invested funds are irrevocably committed to the Project before the I-526 Petition is filed. There can be no assurance that USCIS will apply this rule appropriately. USCIS has also said it will not permit every investor in a pooled investment project to invest only $500,000 USD merely because one or more investors were previously permitted to do so based upon the prior presence of a project in a TEA. If the location of the project is judged to no longer be within a TEA, investors filing 1-526 Petitions thereafter will be required to invest $1,000,000 USD. No assurance can be provided that no new population data will be published rendering the location of a project outside a rural area or that new MSA boundaries depicting the location of the Project in the MSA will not be published. Investors should consult with their counsel concerning TEA issues and issues concerning the effects of investments of differing amounts on immigration and investment matters of significance to the investor. Attaining lawful permanent residence Despite the approval of an investor’s I-526 Petition, there cannot be any guarantee that the investor or the investor’s spouse or any of the investor’s minor, unmarried children will be granted lawful permanent residence. The grant of such immigration status is dependent upon the personal background of each applicant. Any one of several government agencies may determine in its discretion, usually without the possibility of appeal, that an applicant for lawful permanent residence is excludable from the United States. Additionally, USCIS or a U.S. consulate or embassy could readjudicate and/or return an approved I-526 petition for revocation if there is a concern that the petition was approved in error. Grounds for exclusion or inadmissibility Applicants for lawful permanent residence must demonstrate, affirmatively, that they are admissible to the United States. There are many grounds of inadmissibility that the government may cite as the basis to deny admission for lawful permanent residence. 1. Various statutes, including, for example, Sections 212, 237 and 241 of the INA, the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 set forth grounds of inadmissibility, which may prevent an otherwise eligible applicant from receiving an immigrant visa, entering the United States or adjusting to lawful permanent residence. 2 Examples of aliens precluded from entering the United States include:  Persons who are determined to have a communicable disease of public health significance;

33



               

Persons who are found to have, or have had, a physical or mental disorder, and behavior associated with the disorder which poses, or may pose, a threat to the property, safety, or welfare of the alien or of others, or have had a physical or mental disorder and a history of behavior associated with the disorder, which behavior has posed a threat to the property, safety, or welfare of the immigrant alien or others, and which behavior is likely to recur or to lead to other harmful behavior; Persons who have been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude (other than a purely political offense), or persons who admit having committed the essential elements of such a crime; Persons who have been convicted of any law or regulation relating to a controlled substance, admitted to having committed or admits committing acts which constitute the essential elements of same; Persons who are convicted of multiple crimes (other than purely political offenses) regardless of whether the conviction was in a single trial or whether the offenses arose from a single scheme of misconduct and regardless of whether such offenses involved moral turpitude; Persons who are known, or for whom there is reason to believe, are, or have been, traffickers in controlled substances; Persons engaged in prostitution or commercialized vice; Persons who have committed in the United States certain serious criminal offenses, regardless of whether such offense was not prosecuted as a result of diplomatic immunity; Persons excludable on grounds related to national security, related grounds, or terrorist activities; Persons determined to be excludable by the Secretary of State of the United States on grounds related to foreign policy; Persons who are or have been a member of a totalitarian party, or persons who have participated in Nazi persecutions or genocide; Persons who are likely to become a public charge at any time after entry; Persons who were previously deported or excluded and deported from the United States; Persons who by fraud or willfully misrepresenting a material fact, seek to procure (or have procured) a visa, other documentation or entry into the United States or other benefit under the INA; Persons who have at any time assisted or aided any other alien to enter or try to enter the United States in violation of law; Certain aliens who have departed the United States to avoid or evade U.S. military service or training; Persons who are practicing polygamists; and Persons who were unlawfully present in the United States for continuous or cumulative periods in excess of 180 days.

No return of funds if visa or adjustment of status is denied Following approval of an investor’s I-526 Petition, the investor and the spouse and qualifying children of the investor must apply for an immigrant visa or adjustment to permanent resident status. As part of this process, they undergo medical, police, security and immigration history checks to determine whether any of them are inadmissible to the United States for any of the reasons mentioned above or for any other reason. The visa or adjustment of status may be denied notwithstanding the eligibility for or approval of the I-526 Petition. If, following subscription and payment of the investment funds and payment of the administrative fee the investor or the spouse or any children of the investor are denied a visa for conditional lawful permanent residence or denied adjustment of status to conditional lawful permanent residence such action will not entitle the investor to the return of any funds paid to the Partnership

34

pursuant to this offering unless and until a substitute partner is found as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, and, in any event, there shall be no refund of the administration fees. Conditional lawful permanent residence Lawful permanent residence status granted initially to an investor and the spouse and qualifying children of the investor is “conditional.” Each investor and the spouse and qualifying children of the investor must seek removal of conditions before the second anniversary of lawful permanent admission to the United States. There cannot be any assurance that USCIS will consent to the removal of conditions as to the investor or as to the spouse or qualifying children of the investor, each of whom must make a separate application to remove conditions (albeit a single form is used to identify all applicants). If the investor fails to have conditions removed, the investor and the spouse and children of the investor will be required to leave the United States and will be placed in removal proceedings. Even if the investor succeeds in having conditions removed, the spouse and each qualifying child of the investor, separately, must have conditions removed. Failure to have conditions removed as to any of these members of the investor's family will require some members to depart from the United States and such family members will be placed in removal proceedings. No regulations regarding removal of conditions Generally USCIS regulations governing lawful permanent residence for investors do not state specifically the criteria which USCIS apply to determine eligibility for the removal of conditions to lawful permanent resident status. Courts have determined some standards and USCIS have issued memoranda on some issues. The investor should seek the advice of immigration counsel to determine all of the issues that may arise in the I-829 Petition process on account of the absence of regulations controlling the process or resulting from ambiguities in existing law and regulations. USCIS can be arbitrary in interpreting the law. Policy memos issued by USCIS do not necessarily have the binding authority of a regulation. This means that USCIS may change the agency’s interpretation of the law with little or no notice to the public. Business changes and business failures The I-526 Petition must be supported by evidence that the EB-5 Project has received all investor capital, will dedicate the funds to furtherance of the EB-5 Project and thereby will create the requisite number of employment positions. When an investor seeks removal of conditions, the I-829 Petition must be supported by evidence that these requirements have been met, or, if they have not been met, there must be compelling explanations for delays or changes in the EB-5 Project. If the EB-5 Project is delayed in its implementation, if invested funds are expended differently or more slowly than anticipated or if employment is behind schedule, USCIS will expect documentation of changed circumstances to explain the delay and evidence that the project is following its essential business plan. It will be incumbent upon the investor to establish that despite such changes, the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program have been met, the required capital has been paid to the Project, the investment has been sustained and the requisite number of employment positions has been created. There cannot be any assurance that USCIS will consider a change in the business plan to be immaterial, will be persuaded by the investor’s explanation of the reason for the change, or will conclude that the investor’s EB-5 Project is following the business plan contemplated by the I-526 Petition and that the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program are being or will be met by the Project. Failure to persuade USCIS on each of these issues will result in the denial of an investor’s I-829 Petition. In this event, the investor and the investor's qualifying family members will be placed in removal proceedings and may be required to depart the United States. In the event of a material change to the business plan in the Project between the time the I-526 Petition is filed and the time the investor applies for removal of conditions, the investor may be required by USCIS

35

to file a new I-526 Petition that incorporates changes in the Project. Investors are solely responsible for seeking qualified U.S. immigration counsel to determine whether USCIS would require the filing of a new I-526 petition, should circumstances and facts change. In some cases, this will necessitate a new twoyear period of conditional permanent residence after which the investor will be expected to file a new I829 Petition to remove conditions. If a new I-526 Petition is filed, the children of the investor who become twenty-one (21) years old or who married before the new I-526 Petition is filed will be deemed to have “aged out” and will not be eligible to immigrate based upon the parent-child relationship with the investor. The spouse of the investor, divorced from the investor before the new I-526 Petition is filed, will also be ineligible to immigrate based on the former marriage. There cannot be any assurance that all investors in the Partnership will have subscribed and have paid in all required capital on the anticipated schedule, that the Project will be developed as scheduled or that invested funds will be expended as scheduled or in a manner anticipated in the business plan. It is possible, and no assurance may be provided to the contrary, that the Project will not hire workers on the predicted schedule. Should one or more of these circumstances occur, no assurance may be given that USCIS will be satisfied with the explanation. If USCIS rejects the explanation, the I-829 Petition will be denied and the investor and the investor’s qualifying family members will be placed in removal proceedings which may require them to depart the United States. USCIS expects that an EB-5 Project will be continuously maintained through the period of conditional lawful residence to the time the I-829 Petition is filed. USCIS will examine the matter of whether the investment has been lost prior to or may be lost soon after conditions are removed. USCIS will also focus on whether an EB-5 Project is likely to cease its operations shortly after conditions are removed, thereby shedding employment it has created. If an EB-5 Project fails (meaning foreign investments are lost or are expected to be lost, or if jobs are not created in sufficient numbers or once created are lost or are expected to be lost) during the period of an investor’s conditional residence or is deemed likely to fail shortly after conditions are removed, USCIS will not remove conditions. Investors are not credited for having made investments in good faith or for having created all the required employment during a part of the period of conditional residence. No assurances may be given that this Project will not fail during the period of conditional permanent residence or at some time thereafter. No assurance may be provided that USCIS will forgive such failure or anticipated failure by granting an investor’s I-829 Petition. If the petition is denied, the investor and the investor’s qualified family members will be placed in removal proceedings and may be required to depart the United States. Review of I-526 Petition compliance during the I-829 Petition process USCIS, at its election, uses the I-829 Petition process to review the investor’s compliance with previously resolved I-526 Petition requirements. Such a review will be undertaken if the examiner believes that the prior favorable determination was “legally deficient” or if material facts have changed during the period of conditional residence. If USCIS believes the investor is not eligible to participate in the EB-5 Visa Program, the burden is on the investor to establish eligibility by reliance on “independent objective evidence.” The Partnership will seek as much information as possible from USCIS, where good business practices permit, in an effort to assist investors in qualifying for the removal of conditions. However, in the absence of regulations the Partnership may make certain management decisions without assurance that they will not be challenged by USCIS, thus resulting in a request for evidence and, possibly, the denial of an investor’s I-829 Petition. If the I-829 Petition is denied the investor and the investor’s spouse and qualifying children will be expected to depart the United States and will be placed into removal proceedings.

36

Each investor should consult with immigration counsel and become educated about the standards that will determine eligibility of the investor and the spouse or children of the investor to achieve unconditional lawful permanent residence in the United States. Numerical quotas Currently, 3,000 of the total 10,000 visas that are allocated annually under the EB-5 Visa Program are available to foreign investors and their spouses and qualifying children who are making an investment in a TEA. The Project is currently situated within a TEA. The visas are available on a first-come, firstserve basis. Recently, USCIS has announced that it considers the 3,000 visas for investors in a TEA as a guaranteed allocation, not a quota, so that all TEA cases are eligible to seek a visa, up to the annual quota of 10,000 visas. Currently, the allocation of visas for foreign investors in TEAs has not been oversubscribed despite increasing demand for visas under the EB-5 Visa Program. There is no reliable means to predict if delay due to unavailability of visas will occur, or, if it occurs, how long an investor or the spouse and qualifying children of the investor will wait before visas becomes available for them. In addition, there could be an exhaustion of visa numbers in a fiscal year for nationals of a specific country (e.g. China). Changes to current law on quotas or USCIS practices regarding the allocation of visas under the EB-5 Visa program could adversely impact the investor. Investors should seek the advice of immigration counsel concerning the law and USCIS practices regarding the availability of visas. Expiration of the regional center pilot program The regional center pilot program is significant to each investor until the investor receives unconditional lawful permanent residence. Each of the three stages to be completed by the investor in an EB-5 Project affiliated with a regional center prior to removal of CPLR is dependent upon the existence of the regional center as authorized by the pilot program. Certain government agencies that confer immigration benefits upon EB-5 Investors have announced that they are not authorized to confer such benefits (e.g., approve an I-526 Petition, approve an I-485, application to adjust status or grant an immigrant visa to an EB-5 Investor or approve an I-829 Petition) in the event the regional center pilot program expires. The investor’s qualifying relatives are subject to the same outcomes as the investor if the regional center pilot program expires. The regional center pilot program was first created in 1992. Since then it has been extended, most recently in 2012, until September 30, 2015. This Project seeks the benefit of the regional center pilot program that permits employment created indirectly by investments in the Project to be counted towards the minimum number of employment positions needed to qualify under the EB-5 Visa Program. There is no reliable means to know if the regional center program will be extended beyond September 30, 2015 or made permanent. If the regional center pilot program lapses, investors whose projects depend upon regional centers may not be able to file I-526 Petitions or have filed petitions adjudicated; and, applications for lawful permanent residence or the removal of conditions may be rejected, delayed or denied, depriving the investor and the investor’s qualifying family unable to enter, live or work in the United States. Currently, there is no way to know or predict the positions that the relevant government agencies will take concerning the immigration rights of EB-5 Investors in regional center pilot program projects should the pilot program lapse.

37

Active participation in Partnership business The EB-5 Visa Program requires that each investor be actively involved in the business affairs of the Partnership. Failure to be actively involved may jeopardize approval of the I-526 Petition or result in the denial of lawful permanent residence status for the investor and the spouse and the qualifying children of the investor. The Partnership Agreement mandates that each limited partner shall participate in the management of the business of the Partnership by making suggestions or recommendations to the general partner on issues of policy important to the Partnership. The Partnership Agreement also permits limited partners to participate in one or more of the activities (i) permitted of limited partners under VRULPA and (ii) otherwise set forth under the Partnership Agreement. No limited partner shall control the Partnership’s business or management or have any authority to act or bind the Partnership in any manner contrary to the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. The general partner cannot assure investors in the Partnership that these provisions are or will be satisfactory to USCIS to meet the active involvement requirement. Risks attendant to status as an alien entrepreneur USCIS frequently reinterprets the criteria for participation in the EB-5 Visa Program. The creation of new standards, changes in the emphasis that USCIS places on different factors, the reinterpretation of existing criteria and the publication of new field instructions to examiners without prior notice all become binding upon previously filed but unadjudicated I-526 Petitions and may affect whether such petitions will be approved. These USCIS actions also are binding on EB-5 Projects that have accepted some investors whose I-526 Petitions are being prepared for filing and may determine if such projects and the I-526 Petitions and I-829 Petitions based upon the projects will continue to be deemed compliant with applicable rules. There can be no assurance that compliance with standards in effect as of the date an I526 Petition is filed will lead to the approval of the I-526 or I-829 Petitions. The EB-5 Visa Program contains many conditions that must be met to the satisfaction of USCIS. Investors should consult with immigration counsel to review all EB-5 Visa Program requirements. The failure to meet even one of these requirements to the satisfaction of USCIS may result in the denial of the investor’s I-526 Petition or subsequent petitions. Consular processing - visa not guaranteed In some instances, consulates place visa applicants in “administrative processing.” Consuls are very reluctant to explain the specific reasons for this additional step taken before a visa will be issued. This procedure may be encountered in consular posts that report high levels of visa fraud, posts in some countries that are hyper-vigilant concerning security matters or because some information about a visa applicant, in the opinion of a consular officer, merits further background checks. Once administrative processing begins, consulates will not discuss the progress of a visa application. Applicants are relegated to indeterminate waiting for a decision on a visa application. Such a decision may take years to obtain. Decisions by consuls are discretionary and unreviewable. USCIS and USDOS report efforts to communicate more efficiently regarding their respective roles in determining the eligibility of EB-5 Investors for immigrant visas. There cannot be any assurance that improved communications will occur generally or with respect to a particular investor or the investor’s spouse or minor children. Neither may it be assured that improved communications will result in the issuance of a visa. Factors extraneous to the EB-5 Project or the relationship of the investor to the project that a consul may, with unreviewable discretion, elect to consider could result in the denial of a visa. Investors are advised to seek immigration counsel on matters of consular processing. Admission after investing, filing the I-526 Petition or during consular processing Admission to the United States as a visitor or in most other non-immigrant statuses is predicated upon the intent to depart the country at the end of the period of admission. Experienced legal practitioners caution that non-immigrant intent may be difficult to establish once an investor has paid funds into an EB-5

38

Project or files an I-526 Petition, as the sole purpose of this investment and petition is to establish that the investor qualifies to become a lawful permanent resident. Investors should consult with immigration counsel to evaluate the risks associated with seeking temporary (non-immigrant) admission to the United States subsequent to making the investment or filing an I-526 Petition or an application for an immigrant visa. Despite best efforts, an inspector may deny admission under these circumstances. Such a denial may also result in formal exclusion from the United States which might preclude admission with an immigrant visa for a period of years. Adjustment of status Making the investment and filing the I-526 Petition before applying for AOS may be viewed by USCIS as evidence of immigrant intent and may result in the denial of AOS. In such an event, the investor will be required to depart the United States and will need to seek an immigrant visa through consular processing. Any fraud or misrepresentation to U.S. immigration or consular officials could result in a finding of an Investor’s permanent ineligibility to secure a green card. There may be additional reasons why an alien may not adjust status, which is a benefit granted in the discretion of USCIS. There is no appeal from a denial of AOS; the only relief available is a request to reopen or re-consider the AOS application. Investors should consult with immigration counsel to determine if they, their spouse and their children are eligible for AOS or if pursuit of AOS would be prudent. Near the conclusion of an AOS case, USCIS may schedule an interview for the AOS applicant. The interview may be waived by USCIS, but the waiver should not be expected. Experienced immigration law practitioners believe that USCIS uses profiling information to determine who will be interviewed and it also interviews some AOS applicants to maintain the integrity of its screening process. There is no formal process to request the waiver of an interview. Investors should consult with immigration counsel on all matters concerning adjustment of status. Removal of conditions In the history of the EB-5 Visa Program, INS (now USCIS) modified the requirements for removal of conditions after the time that some investors were granted CLPR. As a result of this action, certain of those investors were unable to comply with the new requirements, creating the possibility that they would be removed from the United States. Certain of these investors contested the change in rules after their investments were made. Their position was supported in litigation that resulted in INS being ordered to reconsider their applications to remove conditions by applying the original rules. There is an increased interest by USCIS in examining all aspects of an EB-5 Project and investor petition compliance during the removal of conditions process. Investors should seek guidance from competent counsel concerning all aspects of the removal conditions process and the effect of possible USCIS actions on the investor and the investor’s spouse and qualifying children. Family relationships 1. The spouse of the investor may accompany or follow to join an investor who has been granted conditional lawful permanent residence provided that the investor and the spouse were married at the time of the investor’s acquisition of CLPR. If the relationship is one in common law, the “spouse” of the investor may not acquire lawful permanent resident status on account of the relationship. Not all valid marriages will be recognized for purposes of U.S. immigration. Investors should consult competent counsel regarding the eligibility of their spouse for immigration benefits. 2. Certain children or step-children of the investor may accompany or follow to join an investor who has been granted conditional lawful permanent residence provided that the investor can establish parentage or step-parentage at the time of the investor’s first admission to the United States as a conditional lawful permanent resident or adjustment of status to lawful permanent residence.

39

Failure to comply with all applicable requirements may result in the separation of a child from the investor or the investor’s spouse for protracted periods, in some instances for years, while other immigration opportunities are attempted in an effort to reunite the family. U.S. law excludes some step-children and adopted children from eligibility for immigration benefits. Investors should consult competent immigration counsel regarding the eligibility of their children for immigration benefits. 3. A “child” is someone under the age of 21 years who is unmarried. If a child becomes age 21 or marries before being admitted to the United States as a lawful permanent resident or adjusting to lawful permanent resident status, the former child, now deemed a son or daughter, may not be eligible to accompany or follow to join the investor. In some circumstances, the Child Status Protection Act (“CSPA”) may assist a son or daughter to qualify as a child by reducing the deemed age of the son or daughter to less than 21 years, but the law is unclear and USCIS has not issued any regulations interpreting the CSPA. Failure to meet the requirements of the CSPA may result in the separation of a son or daughter from the investor or the investor's spouse for protracted periods, in some instances for years, while other immigration opportunities are attempted in an effort to reunite the family. 4. Under some circumstances a child who becomes 21 years of age or marries while holding conditional lawful permanent resident status, or the spouse of the investor who is divorced from the investor while holding conditional lawful permanent resident status, may be eligible to remove conditions by being included in the investor’s I-829 Petition or filing a separate I-829 Petition. Failure to meet qualifying conditions, which may not be within the child’s or divorced spouse’s control, and about which the law and regulations do not provide clear guidance, will result in the child or divorced spouse being placed in removal proceedings and may require the child or divorced spouse to depart the United States. 5. Upon the death of an investor holding conditional lawful permanent resident status, a spouse and qualifying children of the investor also holding such status are entitled to seek removal of conditions by submission of the same evidence demonstrating compliance with required criteria that USCIS requires of an investor seeking to remove conditions. Failure of each member of the family to establish these criteria will result in the denial of the application to remove conditions, placement of the family members in removal proceedings and their mandated departure from the United States.

TERMS OF THE OFFERING Subscriptions to the Partnership You are being offered the opportunity to purchase a limited partnership interest in the Partnership. Each such interest is referred to herein as a “Unit” and is being offered for a subscription price of $500,000, which does not include the $50,000 administrative fee described below. The time period for the offer and sale of the Units began on the date of this private placement memorandum and will continue until the Partnership has received gross proceeds from the sale of Units of both partnerships totaling $52,000,000 (exclusive of the administrative fee), unless terminated sooner by the general partner in its sole discretion. The minimum individual subscription and capital contribution to the Partnership is $500,000 which is the minimum investment amount prescribed for qualifying investments in a regional center under the EB-5 Visa Program. To the extent that the minimum qualifying investment amount is increased, the minimum subscription and capital contribution will be increased to match the minimum qualifying investment amount. In addition to his or her capital contribution each investor must also pay an administrative fee of $50,000 to the general partner. The administrative fee will be used to pay (including reimbursement of previously paid amounts) the fees and expenses of the general partner and Mount Snow Ltd. incurred in structuring

40

and organizing the Project in compliance with the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program, including marketing, consulting, escrow, legal and other fees and expenses and any fees of foreign broker/dealers, and coordinating with counsel and foreign broker/dealers with respect to the collection of information from potential alien entrepreneurs and other administrative matters arising in connection with their admission as limited partners of the Partnership. In order to participate in the offering and purchase a Unit in the Partnership, you should make a check for $550,000 for your subscription and capital contribution ($500,000) and for your administrative fee ($50,000) payable to “Peoples United Bank”. You should mail your check together with your completed and signed subscription agreement and consent to limited partnership agreement and investor questionnaire, to the general partner at the following address: Mount Snow GP Services LLC PO Box 2805 89 Grand Summit Way West Dover, VT 05356. Alternatively, in lieu of check you may pay your subscription and capital contribution and administrative fee by wire transfer to the following account: People’s United Bank Two Burlington Square ABA# 221172186 A/C# 0019100316 Attn: Trust Operations FBO: Mount Snow Carinthia Group Escrow As described below on Page 53, the general partner may at its discretion cause a limited partner to exchange its interest in Carinthia Group 1, L.P. for an economically equivalent interest in the parallel fund, Carinthia Group 2, L.P. Escrow Agreement /Acceptance of Subscriptions Your execution of the subscription agreement and consent to limited partnership agreement constitute your offer to buy a Unit in the Partnership and to hold the offer open until your subscription is either accepted or rejected by the general partner or you withdraw your offer. To withdraw your subscription agreement, you must give written notice to the general partner before your subscription agreement is accepted by the general partner. All capital contributions and administrative fees will be held in escrow by People’s United Bank (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement between the investor, the general partner and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”). Funds will not be released from escrow until approval of the first I-526 petition filed by an investor in the Partnership (the “Escrow Release Condition”). Once the Escrow Release Condition is satisfied, the funds will remain in escrow until released by the general partner to be used to fund the Project. Until such time as the general partner releases the funds from escrow, the general partner may, in its sole discretion, reject an investment in the partnership. Subject to the foregoing, your investment will be accepted or rejected by the general partner in its sole discretion. The general partner's acceptance of your subscription is discretionary, and the general partner may reject your subscription for any reason without incurring any liability to you for this decision. If your subscription is rejected, then all of your funds, including the administrative fee, will be promptly returned to you without deduction for any fees.

41

There is no minimum level of aggregate subscriptions that must be received by the general partner before it accepts an individual investor’s subscription. Subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Condition, unless rejected by the general partner in its sole discretion, each subscription may be accepted by the general partner as and when received. Accordingly, subject to satisfaction of the Escrow Release Condition, upon confirmation that the capital contribution and administrative fee has been deposited in to the escrow account and receipt from the general partner of the executed subscription agreement and consent to limited partnership agreement, escrow agreement and investor questionnaire, the general partner may authorize the escrow agent to release the subscription amount to the Partnership and the administrative fee to the general partner. Your subscription may be accepted before subscriptions have been accepted that would permit the Partnership to fund the loans to West Lake LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC in full and enable them to complete development of the Project. To the extent that the offering is not fully subscribed and less than $52,000,000 is raised, the Partnership will allocate up to the first $30,000,000 of subscriptions received and accepted to West Lake LLC for the development of the West Lake Project. Further, the West Lake Project will be developed in three tranches consisting of $10,000,000 (tranche one), $12,500,000 (tranche two) and $7,500,000 (tranche three). To the extent that the general partner accepts subscriptions for any tranche and the proceeds resulting from such subscriptions do not equal the amount for such tranche set forth above, Mount Snow will be required to make alternative arrangements to finance the balance of the tranche. There can be no assurance that Mount Snow will be able to obtain such additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all. If and when subscriptions received exceed $30,000,000, the next $22,000,000 will be allocated to Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC for the development of the Carinthia Ski Lodge. To the extent that the general partner accepts subscriptions for the development of the Carinthia Ski Lodge and the proceeds resulting from such subscriptions do not equal $22,000,000, Mount Snow will be required to make alternative arrangements to finance the balance required to complete the Project. There can be no assurance that Mount Snow will be able to obtain such additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all.

MANAGEMENT General Partner The Partnership will have no officers, directors or employees. Instead, Mount Snow GP Services LLC will serve as the general partner of the Partnership. The general partner is headquartered at 89 Grand Summit Way, West Dover, VT 05356, which is also the Partnership's primary office. Mount Snow Ltd. is the sole member of the general partner. Officers of General Partner Since the general partner is a limited liability company, and not a corporation, it has no directors but is managed by a board of managers. The sole manager of the general partner is currently Richard Deutsch. Mr. Deutsch is Vice President — Business and Real Estate Development and a Director of Peak Resorts. He has served in these positions for over ten years. As the Vice President — Business and Real Estate Development, Mr. Deutsch is responsible for developing Peak Resorts’ growth strategy, along with Messrs. T. Boyd and Mueller, and identifying and evaluating acquisition targets and other potential growth opportunities.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES The following discussion is for informational purposes only and is not intended as tax or legal advice. Each potential investor should seek advice based on the investor’s particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor. Introduction This discussion is based on the Partnership’s intended plan of operation, as described in this private placement memorandum and the Partnership Agreement, applying the federal income tax laws as currently in effect as contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and relevant judicial decisions and administrative guidance. The federal tax laws are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and any such change may materially affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Partnership. Neither the General Partner nor its counsel has any continuing duty to advise the Partnership or any limited partner of any changes in the tax law that may affect any party or cause any part of this discussion to become inaccurate. No rulings or opinions of counsel have been, or will be, requested with respect to any tax-related matter discussed herein. There can be no assurance that the positions the Partnership takes on its tax returns will be accepted by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). This discussion relates only to U.S. federal income taxes and not to any local, state or foreign taxes or U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes. Because this discussion is a general summary, it does not address all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular investor in light of the investor’s particular circumstances, nor does it address, unless explicitly noted (and only to the extent so noted), certain types of investors subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws, including but not limited to the following:               

tax-exempt organizations (except as discussed under “Tax-Exempt Partners” below); insurance companies; financial institutions, broker-dealers; dealers in securities or currencies; traders in securities that elect to use the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities; investors who are themselves partnerships or other pass-through entities for federal income tax purposes; regulated investment companies; real estate investment companies; real estate mortgage investment conduits; expatriates; persons liable for alternative minimum tax; persons whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar; persons holding their investment as part of a hedging, constructive sale or conversion, straddle, or other risk-reducing transaction; and persons acquiring their interests in the Partnership in connection with the performance of services.

Except as otherwise explicitly noted under “Non-U.S. Partners” below, this summary addresses only (i) individual citizens or residents of the United States (including dual residents treated as a U.S. tax resident under an applicable tax treaty), (ii) corporations (including entities treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) estates with income subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its

43

source, (iv) trusts subject to primary supervision by a United States court and for which United States persons control all substantial decisions, or that were in existence on August 20, 1996 and have elected to be treated as a U.S. person; or (v) persons whose worldwide income or gain is otherwise subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis. The discussion below assumes that a partner holds its interest in the Partnership as a capital asset within the meaning of section 1221 of the Code. Portions of this discussion address the ability of investors to utilize items of loss or deduction allocated to them by the Partnership. Potential investors are cautioned that the Partnership will not be operated for the purpose of generating tax deductions, losses, credits or other benefits. Investors should not anticipate that an investment in the Partnership will yield items of deduction, loss, or credit to offset items of income or gain from other sources. Tax Status of the Partnership The Partnership intends to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. In general, as discussed below, partnerships are not separate taxable entities. However, certain “publicly traded partnerships” are taxed as corporations for federal income tax purposes. A partnership is “publicly traded” for this purpose if its interests are traded on an established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof), as defined in the Code. The Partnership Agreement may contain restrictions on the transferability of any interest in the Partnership and other terms designed to prevent the Partnership from being treated as publicly traded for this purpose. If the Partnership were classified as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation, the Partnership would pay federal income tax at corporate rates on its net income, and distributions to the partners would in general be dividends to the extent of the Partnership’s “earnings and profits” (as defined for tax purposes), with distributions in excess thereof being treated first as a return of capital and thereafter as capital gain. Any such tax at the entity level would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to the partners. This discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences assumes that the Partnership will be treated as a partnership (other than a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation) for federal income tax purposes. Taxation of Partners on Profits, Losses and Distributions of the Partnership As a partnership, the Partnership will not be subject to entity-level federal income tax. Instead, each partner will be required annually to take into account and report separately, on its own federal income tax return, its respective distributive share of the Partnership’s items of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for the taxable year of the Partnership ending with or within the partner’s taxable year, regardless of whether the partner has received or will receive any distribution of cash or property from the Partnership. It is possible that partners will incur tax liabilities attributable to the Partnership that exceed the amount of cash distributions made to them. Generally, ordinary income or loss earned or incurred by the Partnership will be ordinary income or loss to the partners, and capital gain or loss earned or incurred by the Partnership will be capital gain or loss to the partners. Whether such capital gain or loss is longterm or short-term will generally depend on the Partnership’s holding period for the underlying capital asset and not a partner’s holding period for its interest in the Partnership. Distributive shares of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit are allocated in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership expects that such allocations will be respected by the IRS as either having “substantial economic effect” (or be deemed to have substantial economic effect) or being determined in accordance with a “partner’s interest in the partnership.” However, the Treasury Regulations regarding when allocations are respected for tax purposes are very complex, and there can be no assurance that the allocations described in the Partnership Agreement will be respected by the IRS.

44

Generally, cash distributions received by a partner from the Partnership (as opposed to allocations of taxable income or loss) will only be taxable to the extent such distributions exceed the partner’s basis in its Partnership interest. Distributions of property (other than cash) received by a partner from the Partnership are generally not taxable. However, if the Partnership does not qualify as an “investment partnership” within the meaning of Section 731(c)(3)(C) of the Code, a partner receiving a distribution of marketable securities from the Partnership may recognize taxable gain to the extent the fair market value of the distributed securities, plus any distributed money, exceeds the partner’s basis in its Partnership interest. A partner selling appreciated securities distributed to it tax-free by the Partnership will generally recognize taxable gain based on the total appreciation in the value of the securities (subject to certain adjustments and exceptions in the case of a distribution in liquidation of a partner’s Partnership interest), including such appreciation that accrued while the securities were held by the Partnership. Although the Partnership itself will not be subject to federal income tax, it will compute its taxable income like an individual, except that certain deductions are not allowed, and certain items must be separately stated on the Partnership’s annual federal partnership information tax return. The Partnership’s taxable year will be determined in accordance with the requirements of the Code and is expected to be the calendar year. The Partnership also will provide partners with statements to assist partners in determining and reporting on their federal income tax returns items of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and credit arising from their investment in the Partnership. While the Partnership will endeavor to provide timely tax reporting to all partners, it cannot guarantee that this can be accomplished in any year or at all. It may be that, in any given fiscal year, such reporting may not be available until after April 15 of the following year. Partners, therefore, should be prepared to obtain extensions of the filing date for their income tax returns at the federal, state and local level. Limitation on Use of Partnership Losses and Certain Deductions The Code and Treasury Regulations limit the ability of partners to utilize losses and deductions that may arise from the Partnership’s activities. For instance, allocations of loss or deduction from the Partnership, or the ability to utilize such allocations, may be limited by a partner’s adjusted tax basis in its interest in the Partnership at the end of the Partnership’s taxable year in which the loss or deduction incurred. Additionally, individuals and certain closely held corporations are subject to the “at risk” rules that limit a partner’s ability to utilize losses to the amount the partner has at risk in the Partnership’s activities. A partner’s at-risk amount generally is equal to the partner’s adjusted tax basis in its interest in the Partnership, except that it will generally not include any amount attributable to liabilities of the Partnership or any amount borrowed by the partner on a non-recourse basis. To the extent that a partner’s allocable share of Partnership losses is not allowed because the partner has an insufficient amount at-risk in the Partnership, such disallowed losses may be carried forward by the partner to subsequent taxable years and will be allowed to the extent of the partner’s at-risk amount, if any, in subsequent years. The use of capital losses is subject to significant limitations, as is the use of deductions for “investment interest” should the Partnership use leverage in its investments. The Partnership’s organizational expenses are not currently deductible, but may be amortizable only over a 15-year period, if at all. Certain syndication expenses incurred by the Partnership in offering and selling Partnership interests will be non-deductible altogether. Partners that are individuals, estates or trusts may deduct so-called “miscellaneous itemized deductions” (e.g., fees paid to the Management Company) only to the extent such deductions exceed 2 percent of the partner’s adjusted gross income. Further, the amount in excess of that 2-percent floor is subject to an overall limitation on itemized deductions. The Code restricts the deductibility of losses from a “passive activity” against certain income which is not derived from a passive activity. Except to the extent the Partnership invests in entities operating a trade

45

or business and organized as a partnership for tax purposes, the Partnership’s investment activities should not constitute a passive activity for purposes of the passive activity loss rules. Therefore, a partner will not be able to utilize losses and deductions from passive activities to offset the partner’s share of the Partnership’s income and gain (until the partner disposes of its interest in the passive activity). Disposition of Interest Upon a sale or transfer of an interest in the Partnership, a partner will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between such partner’s amount realized (as determined for tax purposes) and such partner’s adjusted tax basis in the interest (or portion thereof) sold or transferred. A partner’s “amount realized” generally will include both the fair market value of the consideration received and the partner’s allocable share of any liabilities of the Partnership. A partner’s tax basis in his, her, or its interest in the Partnership initially will be the amount paid for the Partnership interest plus the partner’s share (as determined for federal income tax purposes) of any liabilities of the Partnership, and will thereafter be adjusted as required under the Code to give effect on an ongoing basis to the partner’s share of the Partnership’s tax items, distributions, and liabilities. The rules governing basis adjustments and the taxation of distributions are complex, and prospective investors should consult with their own tax advisors concerning these rules. A partner’s gain or loss upon a disposition of its interest in the Partnership will typically be capital gain or loss, long-term if the partner holds the interest for more than one year, except that gains or losses attributable to inventory or unrealized receivables (defined broadly to include, among others, recapture items, market-discount bonds, short-term obligations, and stock in certain foreign corporations) will be ordinary income or loss. As described above, the use of capital losses is subject to significant limitations. Tax Audits An IRS audit of the Partnership would be conducted at the Partnership level in a single proceeding, rather than by individual audits or judicial proceedings involving the partners separately. The General Partner would represent the Partnership at any such audit as the Partnership’s “tax matters partner” and has considerable authority to make decisions affecting the tax treatment and procedural rights of the partners. The General Partner may also enter into settlement agreements with the IRS that bind partners and consent on behalf of the Partnership to extend the statute of limitations for assessing a deficiency with respect to a Partnership item. An audit of the Partnership may result in changes to the treatment of the Partnership’s tax items and may result in partners being required to pay additional tax, interest and possibly penalties. An audit of a return filed by the Partnership could lead to an audit of a partner’s separate tax return and to adjustments to items that are not related to an investment in the Partnership. The Partnership will not be responsible for paying any expenses incurred by a Partner in connection with an audit of its returns, a partner’s participation in an audit of a return filed by the Partnership, or in any subsequent judicial proceeding. Tax Elections The General Partner has the authority under the Partnership Agreement to make all tax elections for the Partnership, including an election under Section 754 of the Code to adjust the tax basis of the Partnership’s assets upon distributions of Partnership property to a partner and transfers of Partnership interests (including by reason of death). Once a Code Section 754 election has been made, it will remain in effect unless revoked with the consent of the IRS. As a result of the complexity and added expense of the tax accounting required to implement a Code Section 754 election, the General Partner may determine not to cause the Partnership to make a Code Section 754 election.

46

Tax Shelter Reporting Requirements The Treasury Regulations impose special reporting rules for so-called “reportable transactions.” If it were determined that an investment in the Partnership constitutes a reportable transaction, each partner would be required to complete and file IRS Form 8886 with such partner’s tax return for the taxable year that includes the date that such partner acquired an interest in the Partnership. In addition, the General Partner may be required to disclose certain information about the partners and the Partnership to the IRS, including the partners’ capital commitments, tax identification numbers (if any), and dates of admission to the Partnership. The Partnership may engage in certain transactions that constitute reportable transactions and with respect to which both the Partnership and certain partners may be required to file Form 8886. In certain situations, the General Partner or its affiliates may be required to maintain lists of the investors in the Partnership and may be required to furnish such lists to the IRS at its request. Partners should consult their tax advisors for advice concerning compliance with the reportable transaction rules. Non-U.S. Partners The discussion below addresses the application of certain federal income tax laws to partners who are not United States citizens, residents, business entities, estates, or trusts (“Non-U.S. Partners”). The application of the federal tax laws to non-U.S. persons is complex, and this summary does not address all aspects of those laws. Except to the extent of income “effectively connected” with a U.S. trade or business (in all cases to include the disposition of U.S. real property or U.S. real property holding corporations), a Non-U.S. Partner’s distributive share of the Partnership’s capital gains will not be subject to U.S. tax, and its distributive share of the Partnership’s dividends, interest, and certain other income will be subject only to a 30-percent withholding tax. Under certain circumstances, the withholding tax may be reduced or eliminated if a Non-U.S. Partner properly certifies to its entitlement to tax treaty benefits or the “portfolio interest” exception (generally available to non-U.S. persons who do not own 10 percent or more of the issuing entity and receive non-contingent interest on registered debt obligations). A Non-U.S. Partner’s distributive share of the net gain recognized upon a disposition by the Partnership of a United States real property interest would be treated for federal income tax purposes as if it were effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. In general, the Partnership must withhold tax on the Non-U.S. Partner’s distributive share of such net gain and each Non-U.S. Partner would be required to report its share of such gain on a U.S. tax return. The term “United States real property interest” generally would include: (i) an interest in real property in the United States or Virgin Islands; (ii) shares of stock in a U.S. corporation that does not have a publicly traded class of stock outstanding if 50 percent or more of the value of the corporation’s assets at any point during the preceding 5 years consisted of interests in United States real property; and (iii) shares of stock in a U.S. corporation that does have a publicly traded class of stock outstanding where (A) the corporation satisfies the real property ownership test described in clause (ii), above, and (B) the Partnership held (directly or pursuant to certain attribution rules) more than 5 percent of the outstanding stock of any publicly traded class of shares or held shares of non-publicly traded stock with a fair market value greater than that of 5 percent of the publicly traded class of the corporation’s stock with the lowest fair market value. If the Partnership is deemed engaged in a U.S. trade or business, or if a portfolio company treated as a partnership engages in a U.S. trade or business, then a Non-U.S. Partner of the Partnership will be deemed engaged in a U.S. trade or business. A Non-U.S. Partner deemed engaged in a U.S. trade or business is subject to federal income tax on any income “effectively connected” with that trade or business on similar

47

terms and rates as a U.S. person. In those circumstances, the Partnership must withhold tax on the NonU.S. Partner’s distributive share of effectively connected income, and the Non-U.S. Partner must file a U.S. tax return. Furthermore, the Non-U.S. Partner may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its gain from the disposition of its interest in the Partnership, and, if a corporation, the Non-U.S. Partner may be subject to an additional 30-percent branch profits tax on its earnings and profits effectively connected with the U.S. trade or business. The Partnership generally intends not to engage in a U.S. trade or business in its own activities. However, there can be no assurance that no part of a Non-U.S. Partner’s distributive share of income from the Partnership will be treated as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. Each potential investor should consult an independent tax advisor regarding the consequences of a cross-border investment in the Partnership in light of the investor’s particular circumstances. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act The recently enacted Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) will impose a 30% withholding tax on any “withholdable payment” from a U.S. payer (including the Partnership) to (i) a “foreign financial institution,” unless such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which would include certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with United States owners) or (ii) a foreign entity that is not a financial institution, unless such entity provides the U.S. payer with a certification identifying the substantial U.S. owners of the entity, which generally includes any U.S. person who directly or indirectly owns more than 10% of the entity. Under certain circumstances, the payee might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. “Withholdable payments” to the Partnership subject to FATCA will include U.S.-source payments otherwise subject to nonresident withholding tax, and also include the entire gross proceeds from the sale of any equity or debt instruments of U.S. issuers (in either case to exclude payments made on “obligations” that were outstanding on March 18, 2012). The withholding tax will apply regardless of whether the payment would otherwise be exempt from U.S. nonresident withholding tax (e.g., under the portfolio interest exemption or as capital gain). The IRS is authorized to provide rules for implementing the FATCA withholding regime with the existing nonresident withholding tax rules. Under proposed regulations, this withholding will apply to U.S.-source payments otherwise subject to nonresident withholding tax made on or after January 1, 2014 and to the payment of gross proceeds from the sale of any equity or debt instruments of U.S. issuers made on or after January 1, 2015. Investors are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of FATCA to them based on their particular circumstances. THE SUMMARY OF INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES SET FORTH IN THIS MEMORANDUM IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE SUMMARY OF THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THIS INVESTMENT AND IS NOT INTENDED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING. NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY IS MADE BY THE GENERAL PARTNER WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THIS INVESTMENT. IN VIEW OF THE FOREGOING, EACH INVESTOR IS STRONGLY ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH ITS OWN PERSONAL TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE TAX ASPECTS AND RISKS OF THE ENTIRE TRANSACTION AND INVESTMENT DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM. CIRCULAR 230 DISCLOSURE: PURSUANT TO REGULATIONS GOVERNING PRACTICE BEFORE THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, ANY TAX ADVICE CONTAINED HEREIN IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED AND CANNOT BE USED BY A TAXPAYER FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING TAX PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON THE TAXPAYER.

SUMMARY OF PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENTS The following summary of the Partnership Agreements does not encompass all of the terms of the Partnership Agreements and is only a summary of material terms. This summary is qualified by reference to the actual terms of the Partnership Agreements, the forms of which are included in Section 3 of the private placement memorandum. Prospective investors are advised not to subscribe until they have made a careful study of the actual text of the Partnership Agreements. NOTHING IN THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENTS CONSTITUTES OR IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A GUARANTY OF REPAYMENT OF A LIMITED PARTNER’S CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION OR AN AGREEMENT TO REDEEM OR REPURCHASE A LIMITED PARTNER’S INTEREST OR ANY RIGHT OF A LIMITED PARTNER IMPLIED BY SUCH INTEREST. Purpose The purpose of the Partnership is (a) to assist no more than 104 alien entrepreneurs to make qualifying “at risk” investments in a commercial enterprise that is intended to also meet the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program; (b) to assist independent legal counsel acting for EB-5 Investors with the filing of each of the EB-5 Investors' required petitions under the EB-5 Visa Program with USCIS; and (c) to enter into the lending arrangements for undertaking the Project. Term The term of the Partnership is 20 years after the date that the last limited partner is accepted into the Partnership, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. See “Dissolution” below. Partnership Interests The general partner is obligated to contribute to the capital of the Partnership $10.00 and such other additional capital contributions in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. Each limited partner is obligated to contribute to the capital of the Partnership the amount of $500,000 in cash. In addition, each limited partner shall pay an administrative fee of $50,000 to the general partner. In the event the general partner receives official notice of denial of a limited partner’s I-526 Petition, other than based on the fraud or material misrepresentation of the investor, the Partnership shall return such limited partner’s capital contribution within 90 days of written request by the limited partner and the interest of such limited partner shall automatically be terminated upon such repayment; provided that the general partner receives such notice within 30 days following such denial. No limited partner is required to make any additional contributions of capital beyond the amount of his or her $500,000 capital commitment. General Partner The general partner shall conduct and direct the business of the Partnership. The general partner’s authority to take certain actions without the consent of specified thresholds of the limited partners is limited by the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. The general partner may, in the name and on behalf of the Partnership, enter into related party transactions or other agreements with third parties for the performance of services for and on behalf of the Partnership and the limited partners and obligate the Partnership to pay or reimburse the payment of compensation and fees for and on account of any such services; provided, however, that such compensation and fees are fair and reasonable as to the Partnership at the time the same are authorized. The general partner may be terminated by a supermajority in interest of the limited partners subject to their appointment of a new general partner that is an affiliate of the removed general partner (except that in the event the general partner is terminated as a result of certain types of misconduct by the general partner, the new general partner need not be an affiliate of the removed general partner).

Limited Partners The limited partners shall participate in the management of the business of the Partnership (a) by making suggestions or recommendations to the general partner on issues of policy important to the Partnership, and (b) by exercising voting rights in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The prior affirmative consent of a supermajority-in-interest is required for specified actions set forth in the Partnership Agreement. No limited partner shall have the power or authority to bind the Partnership or to sign any agreement or document in the name of the Partnership. To the fullest extent allowed by law, each limited partner will be protected and immune from personal liability for any and all debts, obligations and liabilities of the Partnership or chargeable to the Partnership, and for the acts of any other partner, employee or agent of the Partnership. Each limited partner that is an alien entrepreneur acknowledges and agrees (i) that, notwithstanding any provision of the private placement memorandum, the subscription agreement or the Partnership Agreement to the contrary, the responsibility for the preparation, content and filing of each of the I-526 Petition and the I-829 Petition, and any other governmental forms required under or pursuant to an alien entrepreneur’s participation in the EB-5 Visa Program, remains solely with such alien entrepreneur; (ii) to file his/her I-526 Petition within 90 days after becoming a limited partner and, in addition, to file all other applications and petitions respecting his/her lawful permanent resident status within the United States within a reasonable time of becoming eligible to do so; (iii) that it may be beneficial to file his/her I-829 Petitions as soon as he/she is entitled to do so in the event that fewer than all of the jobs projected to be created by the Project are actually created, recognizing that such jobs will be allocated with preference first to those alien entrepreneur whose I-829 Petitions are approved, and then to those alien entrepreneur who have obtained lawful permanent admission to the United States. Allocations A capital account shall be established and maintained on the Partnership’s books for and in the name of each partner. Each capital account shall reflect the dollar amounts of the respective partners’ (i) capital contributions, (ii) allocable share of profits and losses realized in each fiscal year from the conduct of business and other transactions and activities of the Partnership, and (iii) distributions made to them. Capital accounts shall also be adjusted if and when required by tax regulatory requirements. Profits and losses for each fiscal year shall be allocated among the partners in the following manner: (a) 0.01% to the general partner; and (b) 99.99% to the limited partners, to be allocated and distributed among the limited partners as reasonably determined by the general partner after taking into account the date on which (1) each limited partner made his or her investment, and (2) the Partnership used such investment to advance loans to the Project, and once such determination by the general partner is made, then among the limited partners who are similarly situated with respect to the above criteria in proportion to their respective capital contributions invested in such loans. Losses incurred in any fiscal year shall not be allocated to the capital account of any limited partner to the extent that the allocation would cause such limited partner to have an (or to cause an increase in such limited partner’s) adjusted capital account deficit at the end of such fiscal year. Losses that cannot be allocated to a limited partner on account of this limitation shall be allocated to the capital account of the general partner. Profits realized in any fiscal year after allocation of such excess losses to the general partner’s capital account shall first be allocated to offset the cumulative balance of excess losses in the general partner’s capital account. Distributions Except as otherwise provided in connection with a dissolution below, distributions shall be made by the general partner only from available cash as follows: (a) tax distributions may be made in order to defray the federal income tax liabilities arising from the partners’ interests; (b) no distributions shall be made to any partner in an amount that would give rise to, or increase, a negative balance in such partner's capital account; and (c) subject to the remaining provisions below, distributions by the Partnership shall be made

50

among the partners in the following order or priority: (i) first, among the partners in proportion to their Undistributed Income until the Undistributed Income of each partner is zero, (ii) second, to each partner in proportion to its Unreturned Capital Contributions, and (iii) thereafter, to each partner in proportion to such partner’s Adjusted Capital Account balance. For purposes hereof, “Undistributed Income” shall mean, with respect to a partner, the aggregate profits allocated to such partner, less the aggregate losses allocated to such partner, less any previous distributions to such partner under clause (c)(i) above; “Unreturned Capital Contributions” shall mean, with respect to a partner, the partner’s aggregate capital contributions, less any previous distributions to such partner under clause (c)(ii) above; and “Adjusted Capital Account” shall mean, with respect to a partner, such partner’s capital account, (A) increased by any amounts which such partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of the Partnership Agreement or is treated as being obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), and (B) decreased by the items described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), and 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) (the foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account is intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and is to be interpreted consistently therewith). Indemnification To the fullest extent allowed by VRULPA or otherwise by law, the Partnership shall indemnify the general partner, and each of its managers, managing members and members, and their respective officers, employees and agents (in its capacity as such), and hold each of them harmless against and from (i) any and all costs, expenses and fees reasonably paid or incurred in the defense of any claims, demands and causes of action threatened, asserted or filed against the general partner, and/or any of its managers, managing members and members, and their respective officers, employees and agents, and related to the affairs of the Partnership and/or the conduct of its business, (ii) amounts reasonably paid in settlement of any such claims, demands and causes of action, and (iii) liabilities and damages incurred as a result thereof. The right to indemnification shall not apply where it is proven by clear and convincing evidence that the general partner has engaged in (i) any willful violation of law that has or may have a material adverse effect upon the Partnership; or (ii) acts or omissions constituting fraud, deceit, defalcation, embezzlement, misappropriation or the like in connection with the business, assets and properties, accounts, reports or other affairs of the Partnership (“unprotected conduct”). Exculpation from Liability Neither the general partner, nor any of its managers, managing members and members, and their respective officers, employees and agents, shall be liable to the Partnership or any limited partner for any errors of judgment or for any other actions taken or omissions made, except only if it is determined pursuant to a final non-appealable judgment of a court of the United States that such person has engaged in unprotected conduct. Withdrawals A limited partner may withdraw from the Partnership upon the occurrence of either of the following events: (i) such limited partner provides written notice to the general partner (with such supporting documentation as the general partner may reasonably request) to the effect that such limited partner’s I526 Petition has been denied by the USCIS for reasons other than fraud committed by or the material misrepresentation of such limited partner; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall be applicable only if the general partner actually receives such notice not later than 30 days following such denial; or (ii) such limited partner provides written notice to the general partner (with such supporting documentation as the general partner may reasonably request) within 30 days following the fulfillment of all of the following: (1) the regional center pilot program, created in support of the EB-5 Visa Program as described in the private placement memorandum (the “pilot program”) lapsed after the filing of his or her I-526 Petition but prior to its adjudication of such application; and (2) the pilot program was not reauthorized,

51

or replaced by another program providing substantially the same immigration status benefits as the pilot program, within 12 months of such lapse (and such reauthorization or replacement is not then-pending); and (3) such I-526 Petition (or, if applicable, the alternative petition) has not been adjudicated. In either of the events described in (i) and (ii) above, within 90 days of the general partner’s receipt of such notice (and such supporting documentation), the general partner shall cause the Partnership to return to such limited partner, in full satisfaction of its rights and interests in, to and under its interest, the balance (but not less than zero) of its capital account, whereupon such limited partner shall, automatically and without more, be deemed to have dissociated from the Partnership. Except as provided above, a limited partner may withdraw from the Partnership only in the sole and absolute discretion of the general partner. Without limiting the general partner’s discretion, as a condition to authorizing such withdrawal, a limited partner is required to (i) accept in full satisfaction of its rights and interests in, to and under its interest 90% of the lesser of (x) the balance (but not less than zero) of its capital account, or (y) its capital contribution, (ii) deliver to the Partnership an acknowledgement that the subject withdrawal may disqualify such limited partner for eligibility under the EB-5 Visa Program and a release of the general partner and the Partnership from any direct or consequential damages and all other consequences therefrom, and (iii) deliver to the Partnership and the general partner such other agreements as the general partner may require. Additional Limited Partners The limited partners acknowledge that any withdrawal may necessitate the replacement of the capital that was or is to be paid to the withdrawing alien entrepreneur. The general partner may, at any time and from time to time (i) create such additional classes of partnership interests having such relative rights, powers and duties as such general partner may establish, including rights, powers and duties equal or junior to existing partnership interests; and (ii) whether or not in connection with clause (i) above, designate one or more persons for admission as a limited partner and, in connection therewith, determine the amount and the time or times at which shall be made, such person’s capital contribution, the partnership interests to which such person shall be entitled, and all other terms and conditions of such person’s admission as a limited partner. Transferability of Interests The Partnership will not recognize a transfer of a Unit unless the limited partner has submitted to the Partnership and the general partner, in a form acceptable to the general partner, an acknowledgement that the transfer may disqualify such limited partner for eligibility under the EB-Visa Program and a release of the Partnership and the general partner from all damages therefrom. The general partner may prohibit any transfer if, in the opinion of counsel for the Partnership, such transfer will violate, or cause the original issuance of the interests to be in violation of, the securities laws, rules or regulations of the United States, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction, or if such transfer would jeopardize the ability of any other limited partner to qualify under the EB-5 Visa Program to become a lawful permanent resident of the United States. The general partner may suspend all transfers for a period of up to 12 months whenever the general partner reasonably determines, or is advised by counsel, that in light of previous transfers, any subsequent transfer may reasonably be expected to result in a termination of the Partnership under applicable tax laws. Any person who has acquired a Unit shall be admitted as a limited partner, and thereby succeed to the related ancillary legal interest, only with the approval of the general partner in its sole and absolute discretion, upon its execution and delivery of an instrument, in such form as the general partner may require, whereby such person will become bound by the Partnership Agreement, and if such person or the

52

subject limited partners pay for all expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with such person's becoming a limited partner. Dissolution The Partnership shall dissolve upon the earliest of the following: (i) the expiration of the term of the Partnership; (ii) the full repayment of the loans extended by the Partnership to West Lake LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC as described in the private placement memorandum, and all other loans made by the Partnership in furtherance of the Projects described therein; (iii) the written consent of the general partner and a supermajority-in-interest of the limited partners; (iv) the written consent of all limited partners; (v) an “event of withdrawal of the general partner” within the meaning of Section 3432 of the VRULPA, unless there is at least one general partner then remaining in office or within 90 days after such event, a supermajority-in-interest appointed a replacement general partner and determined to continue the business of the Partnership, and the replacement general partner has become legally bound by the Partnership Agreement; (vi) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership; (vii) the entry of a final judgment, order or decree of a court with competent jurisdiction adjudicating the Partnership to be bankrupt, and the expiration of the period, if any, allowed by applicable law in which to appeal therefrom; or (viii) as provided in VRUPLA. Allocations and Distributions upon Winding Up Prior to any distribution upon dissolution, the general partner shall adjust each partner’s capital account to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss and deduction inherent in the Partnership’s property (that has not been reflected in the partners’ capital accounts previously) would be allocated among the partners if there were a taxable disposition of such property for the fair market value of such property on the date of distribution. Distribution of the Partnership assets upon dissolution shall be made in accordance with the net credit balances in the partners’ respective capital accounts after taking into account all capital account adjustments for the Partnership taxable year. If the general partner has a deficit balance in its capital account following the distribution of Partnership assets upon dissolution, as determined after taking into account all capital account adjustments, the general partner shall be required to restore the amount of such deficit to the Partnership as soon as practicable. Parallel Fund Carinthia Group 1, L.P. will be exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. A separate parallel fund, Carinthia Group 2, L.P., is being established which will rely upon another exemption; it will have an identical investment program, the same general partner and substantially identical Limited Partnership Agreement with that of Carinthia Group 1, L.P. Without altering the economic rights and obligations of the partners, the general partner, in its reasonable discretion, may at any time cause a limited partner to exchange its interest in Carinthia Group 1, L.P. for an economically equivalent interest in the parallel fund, Carinthia Group 2, L.P.

53

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION All Units are offered by the Partnership on a “best efforts” non-minimum basis. There is no assurance that all or any of the desired capital will be raised through the offering. The offering has no minimum amount and the Partnership will utilize proceeds as they are received. The general partner reserves the right to waive the payment of a portion of the administrative fee by any EB-5 Investor, in which case the subscription price to any such EB-5 Investor will be less than the subscription price paid by EB-5 Investors that pays the full administrative fee. EXIT STRATEGIES The general partner expects each Developer will consider a number of options to repay the loan to the Partnership upon maturity. Such options include but are not limited to: (1) a strategic refinancing of the facility; (2) reserving funds from operations; (3) the proceeds of a loan from Mount Snow or Peak Resorts; and (4) the purchase of the Developer’s assets by Mount Snow or Peak Resorts or another of its affiliates. The general partner expects that the period from commencement of the offering until the date on which the I-829 petitions of all investors have been adjudicated, with any and all appeals having been decided, could be up to at least six years. At that time, subject to repayment of the loans by the Developers, the general partner in its sole discretion will determine to provide liquidity to the limited partners by redeeming their interest in the Partnership or otherwise liquidating the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no interests of EB-5 investors will be repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Partnership unless such repurchase or other acquisition complies with the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program. In addition, no assurance can be made, and by signing the Partnership Agreement, each limited partner is deemed to acknowledge and agree that there is no promise or guaranty that his or her interest will be redeemed. TRANSFERABILITY OF UNITS The Units being offered hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any jurisdiction, including any foreign jurisdictions, and are being offered in reliance upon Regulation D and Regulation S, promulgated under the Securities Act. The right of subscribers to sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Units will be limited by the Securities Act and state securities laws. Such Units may be sold only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration. The Partnership has no plans to conduct any such registration and is under no obligation to do so.

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

CARINTHIA GROUP EXECUTIVE SUMMARY THE PARTNERSHIP AND ITS BUSINESS Carinthia Group 1, L.P. is a Vermont limited partnership (the “Partnership”) with its principal place of business in West Dover, Vermont, at the location of Mount Snow Resort (the “Resort”, “Mount Snow” or “Mount Snow Resort”) owned by Mount Snow Ltd. (the “Resort Owner”). Carinthia Group 2, L.P. is a parallel partnership formed to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940. The general partner may, in its reasonable discretion, cause a limited partner to exchange its interests in Carinthia Group 1, L.P. for an economically equivalent interest in Carinthia Group 2, L.P. Hereinafter the two partnerships are referred to as the “Partnership,” and references to Carinthia Group 1, L.P. throughout this business plan and our offering memorandum are inclusive of Carinthia Group 2, L.P. Both partnerships are new commercial enterprises that will serve as co-lenders in our overall business plan and transaction. The total anticipated investment is $52,000,000 from up to 104 alien entrepreneurs through the EB-5 Visa Program, although the offering is not limited only to EB-5 investors. The proceeds of the offering will be used to advance loans to two entities controlled by Mount Snow Ltd. – West Lake Water Project, LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC - who will undertake the job creating activities described herein. The following summary of principal objectives and activities including financial data and supporting schedules is included in the Private Placement Memorandum for the benefit of potential alien entrepreneurs under the EB-5 Visa Program and should be read in its entirety. Important Notice: See “Risk Factors” set forth in Section 1 of this Private Placement Memorandum. The alien entrepreneur or "petitioner" is contemplating making an investment that has a minimum capital contribution of $500,000 in the “Partnership.” Upon subscription to and being accepted as a limited partner the petitioner will submit his I-526 Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur to the United States Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service (“USCIS”). Each petition submitted must be adjudicated on its own merits. The limited partner's relationship to the Partnership and his or her rights and obligations as a limited partner are governed by the Limited Partnership Agreement included as an exhibit under Section 3 in the private placement memorandum. 4

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

Carinthia Group 1, L.P. was formed as a Vermont limited partnership in October 2012 to serve as the "capital investment vehicle" which will loan development funds to West Lake Water Project, LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge, LLC, both of which are “job creating" commercial business projects for purposes of the EB-5 Visa Program. In this business plan we refer to the loan of the development funds and the activities conducted by West Lake Water Project, LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge, LLC as the “Carinthia Group 1 and 2 Project.” Carinthia Group 2, L.P., has an identical structure and purpose. West Lake Water Project, LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge, LLC were formed in October 2012. The West Lake Water Project, LLC job creating project is a proposed 120-million gallon water storage reservoir with associated piping and pumping equipment, snowmaking facilities, trail upgrades and expansion, and new ski lift, all located on land owned by Mount Snow, Ltd. (the “West Lake Project”). The Carinthia Ski Lodge, LLC job creating project is a proposed approximately 36,000 square-foot full-service skier services lodge to be built at the Carinthia Base Area of Mount Snow Ski Resort on land owned by Mount Snow, Ltd. (the “Carinthia Ski Lodge Project” and, collectively with the West Lake Project, the “Carinthia Group 1 and 2 Project”). The components of the job creating projects are situated in the towns of Wilmington and West Dover, Windham County, Vermont, are located within the State of Vermont Regional Center and have been designed to meet the qualifications of USCIS to be financed under the EB-5 Visa Program. The entire State of Vermont is a Regional Center. An investor in an enterprise, such as this Project, established in Vermont, being located in a rural area (not within the boundaries of a Metropolitan Statistical Area) and designated as a targeted employment area ("TEA") is permitted to demonstrate that some, possibly all of the employment positions created on account of the investment in the enterprise will be indirect employment positions, i.e., not on the payroll of the enterprise. The petitioner, by investing in Carinthia Group 1 or 2, L.P., which will in turn loan development funds to West Lake Water Project, LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge, LLC respectively, will help promote economic growth, improve regional productivity and create jobs. The combined West Lake and Carinthia Ski Lodge Projects are expected to create greater than 1,040 full-time employment positions and overall, have a significant economic impact on the local economy within the State of Vermont Regional Center and reach into the northeastern US and the rest of the United States. The anticipated overall expenditure of the Carinthia Group 1 and 2 Project is $66,000,000, of which $52,000,000 will be funded with the proceeds from this offering and will be supplemented with the additional contribution in cash, land or value of $14,000,000 ($14 million) provided by the Resort Owner as summarized hereunder. 5

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

The proposed source of funds is described below: Carinthia Group 1 and 2, L.P. Proceeds $52,000,000 79% Resort Owner Contributions $14,000,000 21% Total $66,000,000 100% Mount Snow, Ltd., directly or through one or more affiliated entities, will have an ownership interest in the job creating projects by virtue of its ownership of West Lake Water Project, LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge, LLC. To the extent that the offering is not fully subscribed and less than $52,000,000 is raised, the Partnership will allocate up to the first $30,000,000 of subscriptions received and accepted to West Lake Water Project, LLC for the development of the West Lake Project. The West Lake Project will be developed in three tranches consisting of $10,000,000 (tranche one), $12,500,000 (tranche two) and $7,500,000 (tranche three). To the extent that the general partner accepts subscriptions for any tranche and the proceeds of such subscriptions do not equal the amount for such tranche set forth above, Mount Snow Ltd. will make alternative arrangements to finance the balance of the tranche. If and when subscriptions received exceed $30,000,000, the next $22,000,000 will be allocated to Carinthia Ski Lodge, LLC for the development of the Carinthia Ski Lodge. West Lake Water Project, LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge, LLC will enter into a commercial lease agreement with Mount Snow Ltd. for the lease of the land on which the West Lake Project and the Carinthia Ski Lodge Project will be constructed. The term of each lease is 50 years. Mount Snow Ltd. will also enter into a water supply agreement with West Lake Water Project, LLC. See Section 5, Exhibits. The alien entrepreneurs as limited partners will collectively own 99.99% of the Partnership, whereas, the general partner will own an interest of .01%. The general partner has delegated certain of the management duties to an experienced team of professional managers and consultants. Mount Snow Ltd. is the sole member of the general partner.

THE STATE OF VERMONT– A USCIS DESIGNATED REGIONAL CENTER The U.S. Congress created a pilot program, now rescheduled to sunset on September 30, 2015, that provides for the authorization of regional centers by USCIS. Enterprises located within and affiliated with a regional center are not required to employ ten (10) 6

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

workers for each investment that qualifies under the EB-5 Visa Program. It suffices if the investor demonstrates that at least ten (10) qualifying employment positions will be created directly or indirectly on account of the investment. In June 1997, the State of Vermont, Agency of Commerce and Community Development (VACCD), was granted a designation as an approved regional center under this pilot program. An investment in a new commercial enterprise situated within and affiliated with the regional center, the state of Vermont, that fosters economic expansion through increased exports, greater regional productivity, employment creation or additional domestic capital investment, qualifies for the broader view of employment creation. Mount Snow, with land parcels located in West Dover and Wilmington, Vermont is located within the VACCD Regional Center, and the project described in this business plan has been structured so that foreign investors may meet the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program and become eligible for admission to the United States of America as lawful permanent residents with the investor’s qualifying family members. The designation of the VACCD Regional Center was reaffirmed via a written request dated August 17, 2009 whereby VACCD Regional Center sought to amend its initial regional center designation, to expand the types of approved economic activities and industrial clusters as follows: 1. To add manufacturing, professional services, education, information and lending institutions to their current list of approved industries. 2. To add the economic activities of design, development and production of new products; expansion or renovation of existing facilities; establishing and expanding post-secondary schools including building, development and operation of the schools; design, development & publishing of software, books and other information publishing activities. 3. To provide direct equity investments in or to the industry clusters and/or to provide indirect investments to the industries through investment in an enterprise which in turn will lend the funds for specific industry related project(s). USCIS granted such request as follows: “Based on its review and analysis of the request to amend the previous VACCD regional center designation and prior amended proposals, business plan, and supplementary evidence, USCIS amended the 7

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

designation of the regional center as requested to incorporate the above changes. [referring to the expansion of “…the types of approved economic activities and industrial clusters…”, above]. In accepting the amendment, USCIS has updated its records of the regional center approval, designation, and business plan to encompass these amendments relative to the investment focus of the regional center ….” In January 2014, Carinthia Group 1, L.P. executed a Memorandum of Understanding with VACCD, authorizing the project described in this business plan as a qualifying investment in a new commercial enterprise being situated within the Vermont EB-5 Regional Center. See Section 5, Exhibits. PROJECT INVESTMENT SUMMARY The Carinthia Group 1 and 2 Project is the first in a series of development projects in the Mount Snow Master Plan, approved by the State of Vermont Act 250 and which is summarized elsewhere in this business plan. The Carinthia Group 1 and 2 Project will comprise the extension of two loan facilities to two new commercial enterprises, namely West Lake Water Project, LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge, LLC, both of which are subsidiaries of Mount Snow Ltd., and will each conduct the development activities described below. Subscriptions accepted by the general partner will be applied first to the West Lake Project and, once subscriptions accepted equal $30,000,000, the next $22,000,000 in subscription proceeds will be applied to the Carinthia Ski Lodge Project. 1. West Lake Project - The partnership will establish a non-revolving line of credit

facility and loan up to $30,000,000 to West Lake Water Project, LLC to facilitate the construction of a new water storage reservoir and dam for snowmaking with capacity of up to 120 million gallons, three new pump houses and the installation of 28,500 feet of pipelines, a new ski lift and ancillary infrastructure on trails, lifts and snowmaking equipment. The line of credit will be in the minimum amount of $500,000 and a maximum principal amount of $30,000,000 (the “West Lake loan”) based upon the number of Units sold pursuant to the offering described in the private placement memorandum. The West Lake Project will be structured in three tranches as follows: Tranche One in the amount of $10,000,000 for Stage 1 Expenditures (which also includes pre-construction expenditures for professional fees, administration and permitting); Tranche Two in the amount of $12,500,000 for Stage 2 Expenditures; and Tranche Three in the amount of $7,500,000 for Stage 3 Expenditures; all as detailed on Schedule A herein on page 48. To the extent that subscriptions accepted for any Tranche do not equal the funds required for such Tranche as set forth above, Mount Snow Ltd. will make arrangements to finance the balance of the Tranche required. Mount Snow Ltd. 8

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

will also make arrangements to fund interest payments on the loan pending income generating activities. In the event that funds are not raised that are sufficient to perform all tranches concurrently, the construction of the West Lake project may be revised, and the flow of funds will be adjusted accordingly. 2. Carinthia Ski Lodge Project - The partnership will establish a non-revolving line

credit facility and loan up to $22,000,000 to Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC for the construction of Carinthia Ski Lodge, a new approximately 36,000 square-foot skier services building located at the base of the Carinthia Slopes providing extensive food and beverage facilities, ski rentals, retail and convenience store, and lift ticket and ski school sales. The line of credit will be in the minimum amount of $500,000 and a maximum principal amount of $22,000,000 (the “Ski Lodge Loan”) based upon the number of units sold pursuant to the offering described in the private placement memorandum. In the event that the subscriptions accepted for the Carinthia Ski Lodge Project do not equal $22,000,000 and the maximum loan amount is not advanced, Mount Snow Ltd. will make arrangements to finance the balance required. Mount Snow Ltd. will also make arrangements to fund interest payments on the loan pending income generating activities. It is projected that the Resort Owner, will separately contribute $14 million in cash, land or other value into these projects to create and upgrade certain resort facilities, including but not limited to lifts and lift relocation, adding access roads, commercial areas build out and resort/project infrastructure and improvements, lighting, storm water management upgrades, streams and tributaries improvements. The West Lake Project and the Carinthia Ski Lodge Project will stimulate economic development and create many new permanent full-time jobs within the strategic area of the Mount Snow resort, within the State of Vermont regional center, the Northeast region of the United States and within the United States as a whole.

JOB CREATION An economic impact assessment has been conducted to determine the number of employment positions expected to be created as a result of 104 alien entrepreneurs each contributing US$500,000 to the Carinthia Group 1 and 2 Project, and the Mount Snow contributions. This analysis was conducted using IMPLAN methodology, a nationally recognized economic impact assessment program. The current analysis is focused on the project as a source of employment creation, so that it is more specific than the analysis that supported the Regional Center designation for the greater state of 9

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

Vermont. This analysis demonstrates that the combined project development and business activities carried on by the limited partnership are expected to create greater than 1,040 permanent full time employment positions within the State of Vermont, VACCD regional center, the northeastern U.S. and the rest of the U.S, in excess of the employment positions required under the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program if all Units are sold to alien entrepreneurs.

ALLOCATION OF JOBS CREATED Full-time equivalent indirect and or direct jobs created as stated in the supplied project economic analysis will be applied only to alien entrepreneurs under the EB-5 Visa Program seeking to utilize the investment for immigration purposes. The offering mandates that jobs will be allocated to investors in the order of priority for those I-829 petitions that are approved, and then to investors in the order of priority for those who have obtained lawful permanent admission to the United States (i.e. obtained a visa or adjustment of status).

BUSINESS AND DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY MOUNT SNOW LTD. Established in 1954, Mount Snow Resort is one of the largest resorts in the eastern United States, with a land area of 2,451 acres, of which 894 acres are within the Green Mountain National Forest. Mount Snow ski area includes 460 acres of trails spread over four mountain areas and served by a network of 20 lifts, including the only sixpassenger covered lift in North America. Ski terrain features 80 trails, gladed tree-skiing areas, a 400-foot competition superpipe, a minipipe, 9 freestyle parks, a tubing park and several beginner areas. With 70% of the trails rated intermediate, it appeals to skiers and snowboarders from throughout the East. With its location in southern Vermont, Mount Snow is the closest major ski area to eastern metropolitan centers, just a 4-hour drive from New York City and Long Island, 3½ hours or less from the affluent Fairfield County in Connecticut (Greenwich), 2 hours from Boston and 2 hours from Hartford. It’s this close proximity to more than 30 million people, coupled with the trail system and extensive snowmaking, that make Mount Snow one of the most popular ski resorts in the region.

PEAK RESORTS, INC. Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, Peak Resorts Inc. is a leader and innovator in the ski industry, owning and/or operating 13 ski areas through the midwestern, northeastern and southeastern United States. Mount Snow Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Peak Resorts Inc., is the largest resort in the Peak Resorts portfolio.

DEVELOPER AND CONSTRUCTION The construction of the Carinthia Group 1 and 2 Project will be supervised by Mount Snow Develop and Build, LLC, who will enter into a contract for this service with West Lake Water Project, LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge, LLC. Mount Snow Develop and Build, LLC will receive contractor supervision payments of fifteen (15%) of the build cost for each project. The main contractor for Carinthia Ski Lodge is DEW Construction, a company based in Williston Vermont and familiar with hotel and related building facilities in Vermont ski resorts. The main contractor for the West Lake Project is GW Tatro

MOUNT SNOW BASE AREA DEVELOPMENT The purpose of the Mount Snow Master Plan (MSMP) is two-fold. First, the plan addresses requests by the State Commission for a master plan of development. The master plan encompasses all of Mount Snow’s land holdings. This allows the Commission and the community to assess and understand the impacts of the proposed development in its entirety. This is completely different from the past, where projects were approved one by one. The plan also addresses existing environmental issues, identifying the methods to be employed for their remediation.

MOUNTAIN MASTER PLAN Because Mount Snow is located partially on U.S. Forest Service lands and operates under a Special Use Permit (SUP) from the United States Forest Service (USFS, see Appendix), a mountain master plan is required by the USFS. A mountain master plan was accepted by the USFS in January 2007 (see Appendix). An update to the plan was submitted in April of 2010 and accepted in May 2010. The mountain master plan presented in this application is taken from the Forest Service plans. Currently Mount Snow has an need for more snowmaking coverage, water for snowmaking, lift capacity, skier service buildings and beginner terrain. The mountain master plan addresses these deficiencies.

DEVELOPMENT PERMITS – ACT 250 In July 2010 the Vermont Act 250 Commission issued Partial Findings of Fact for the MSMP, which approved certain aspects of the master plan project including the total number of units and the design concept (copy of overall master plan rendering on page 17). The Commission’s approval of future conceptual development plans by Mount Snow Resort, including hotel facilities, provides conditions and guidance for development applications made by Mount Snow Resort under the land use laws of the State of Vermont to obtain development permits (so-called Act 250 permits). This approved plan includes the development of up to 900 residential units; development of 200,000 square feet of new skier service buildings; and mountain 15

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

improvements including additional snowmaking and new ski lifts. The first phase of the MSMP is the development of the Carinthia Base Area with up to 150 residential units, a new skier service lodge and an expanded and paved parking area.

DEVELOPMENT PHASES While overall planning is contained within the MSMP, planning, permitting review and state and county regulatory applications for the individual project components are projected to commence in early 2014. The State of Vermont land development laws determine when and how much land may be opened for development at any one time. Subject thereto and to the approval and issuance of regulatory permits and the receipt of sufficient funds from investors, both the West Lake and Carinthia Ski Lodge projects are expected to begin groundbreaking in 2015. The funds raised in the offering described in the private placement memorandum are expected to be expended over approximately a 24-30 month period as will be noted from the relevant tables shown in this business plan. Business operations are projected to commence during the 2017 winter season, subject to no unforeseen delays or inclement weather factors during the exterior structures build phase. The job creation information prepared by Economic and Development Research Group of Boston, MA detailing the full-time permanent jobs created by the Carinthia Group 1 and 2 Project is provided in summary in this business plan on pages 38-40.

SUMMARY OF JOB CREATING PROJECTS WEST LAKE PROJECT Snowmaking is an essential element of any successful eastern ski resort. Snowmaking allows Mount Snow to open in November and provide reliable snow conditions through early April. Snowmaking also compliments natural snowfall by increasing base depths and providing insurance against winter thaws. During thaw/freeze cycles, snowmaking is used to re-surface trails, covering ice and providing a much more enjoyable experience for visitors. Snowmaking itself is simply water combined with compressed air. Water is delivered via pipeline to a snowmaking “gun.” When this water is combined with compressed air and sprayed through the snowmaking gun at below-freezing temperatures, it drops to the ground as snow. Because the density of the snow can be controlled by the air-water mixture, snowmaking snow is actually more durable and can last longer than natural snow. The amount of snow that a ski resort can make is directly related to the water available for snowmaking. Although it does not affect Mount Snow’s present ability to make snow and provide a consistent snow surface, Mount Snow has limited water resources for snowmaking. One such resource is Snow Lake, an 11-million gallon in-stream impoundment. Although it is “grandfathered” and Mount Snow is allowed to use it for snowmaking, the State of Vermont is requiring Mount Snow to eliminate or bring Snow Lake into compliance with current environmental standards. Existing water storage ponds available to Mount Snow total 21.7 million gallons, which is used to cover 78% of the mountain with snowmaking. The West Lake Project will provide 120 million gallons of water storage, enough water to not only meet existing needs but also allow expansion of snowmaking to cover 100% of the mountain. The increase in available water will also enable Mount Snow to increase its snowmaking capacity, operate more snowmaking guns at one time over an expanded area and to open trails faster early in the season to potentially extend the length of the ski season. Components of the West Lake Project include: 

West Lake, a 120-million gallon storage pond. Water will be pumped into the pond for storage, and pumped out of the pond to be used for snowmaking.



Water withdrawal and intake structure. A small, three-foot high rubber inflatable dam will be installed in the Cold Brook. During the winter season, the dam will be inflated, creating a pool of water behind it. This water will feed by gravity via an intake pipe to the West Lake pump

18

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

house. In addition to the dam, a Parshall flume will be installed in the stream. This flume allows for the required federal and state minimum stream flows in Cold Brook. 

Pump houses. Three pump houses will be constructed. The West Lake pump house will pump water from Cold Brook to West Lake for storage, and also pump water from West Lake to the Carinthia pump house at Mount Snow. The Carinthia and Air Center pump houses will take the water from West Lake and pump it to all areas of the mountain for snowmaking.



Pipelines. Pipelines, totaling 28,500 feet and ranging from 24” to 48” in diameter, will connect West Lake and the pump houses.



Other components of the West Lake Project include on-mountain snowmaking upgrades, a new beginner lift and infrastructure improvements.

CARINTHIA SKI LODGE PROJECT In 1986 Mount Snow purchased Carinthia Ski Area, a smaller ski area located adjacent to Mount Snow. Snowmaking and lift upgrades, along with integration into the main mountain of Mount Snow made Carinthia a popular area of the mountain. In 2008, the entire Carinthia area was turned into a freestyle area, with 9 parks and nearly 100 acres of terrain covering more than 5 miles. It’s the largest freestyle area in New England. Carinthia and Mount Snow have been the site for major winter competitions including the ESPN Winter X Games and the Winter Dew Tour, both broadcast on live TV and seen internationally in millions of households. The new Carinthia Ski Lodge will be a state-of-the-art facility designed to provide needed skier services in a comfortable, modern building. Totaling approximately 36,000 square feet, it will house a full-service cafeteria, restaurant, two bars and coffee counter. Skier services will include a ski rental shop, lift ticket and ski school sales, retail and convenience store, bag storage service and kids activity room. The interior of the lodge is designed so that during the off-season it can be modified for conferences or other groups. The lodge will also feature modern technology including wi-fi and outlets for charging electronic devices. Storm water and other environmental issues will be addressed through the installation of properly engineered drainage. The parking area and entryway will be expanded and paved, creating a welcoming arrival experience.

The minimum subscription may be reduced by the general partner in its discretion in the case of investors that are not EB-5 Investors and such investors shall not be required to pay the administrative fee.



Investor funds are considered non-refundable and "fully at risk" once the Investor has subscribed to and been accepted as a limited partner in the Partnership. The $50,000 paid for the administrative expenses is non-refundable. However, as outlined in the Private Placement Memo on Page 32 (Limitation on Return of Funds if I-526 Petition is Denied), in the event that USCIS denies an investor's I-526 petition, the investor may seek a return of the $500K capital contribution and a portion of the $50,000 administrative fee. Any return of funds is subject to the discretion of the General Partner.

EXIT STRATEGY According to the guidelines of USCIS relating to investments made within an approved EB-5 project, an "investment within such a project must be fully at-risk.” In order to ensure that the capital invested by each EB-5 investor remains fully at risk for the period of time required under the EB-5 Visa Program, the partnership agreement specifically prohibits the Partnership from returning any portion of the capital investment amount prior to the approval of the EB-5 investor's I829 Petition. The general partner expects each borrower will consider a number of options to repay the loan to the partnership upon maturity. Such options include but are not limited to: (1) a strategic refinancing of the facility; (2) reserving funds from operations; (3) the proceeds of a loan from Mount Snow or Peak Resorts; and (4) the purchase of the borrower’s assets by Mount Snow or Peak Resorts or another of its affiliates.

33

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

There can be no assurance that the borrowers will be successful in completing any such refinancing or other transaction or that the proceeds of any such transaction will enable the borrowers to repay the loans to the Partnership in full. In any such event the Partnership may pursue any remedies available to it as an unsecured creditor of the borrowers and may also seek recourse to the guaranty of Peak Resorts of the facilities for any unpaid amounts. The guaranty is not secured by any assets of Peak Resorts and there can be no assurance that Peak Resorts would have sufficient resources to satisfy the guaranty. Any failure by the borrowers to repay the loans or Peak Resorts to satisfy the guaranty may have a material adverse effect on the ability of the limited partners to receive a return of their capital and may result in the complete loss of investment.

NO GUARANTEES OR REDEMPTION RIGHTS Each limited partner acknowledges and agrees by his receipt and execution of a Subscription Agreement which includes a consent to the limited partnership agreement that no promises or guarantees of performance, investment results or returns, rights to redeem their Interests or right to or probability of removal of conditions under the EB-5 Program have been made to them by anyone, including but not limited to by the general partner or any of its affiliates, and their agents, representatives, officers, salesmen, managers, employees, attorneys, consultants and third party contractors, and they are not relying on anything from the general partner or any of its affiliates, and their agents, representatives, officers, salesmen, managers, employees, attorneys, consultants and third party contractors except the private placement memorandum and the subscription documents in making the decision to invest.

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

JOB CREATION CALCULATION IMPLAN SOFTWARE MODEL The methodology employed in the analysis for the Carinthia Group 1 and 2 Project was derived from the IMPLAN software model developed by the Minnesota IMPLAN group (MIG). IMPLAN is based on the national input-output technology tables that show how each type of industry relies on a different mix of its own labor and supplies purchased from other industries and it is calibrated to reflect local economic patterns (of employment, payroll and business sales) occurring within specified counties (or sub-county areas). This shows a default on the extent to which local industries purchase goods and services from suppliers located within the same county. IMPLAN is the most widely used analysis software systems for measuring or estimating the economic impacts associated with openings, closings, expansion, contraction, and on-going operations of facilities – ranging from industrial plants to national parks. Carinthia Group 1 and 2, L.P. has retained Economic Development Research Group (“EDR”) of Boston, Massachusetts to calculate, prepare and submit the job creation report for the project. The EDR group team is headed by Ms. Lisa Petraglia, V.P. of Research. Ms. Petraglia has 22 years of experience working in economic modeling and policy analysis, focusing specifically on economic impact evaluation. EDR has performed job creation calculations demonstrating project job creation of 1,112 new full time non-direct jobs for the years of the development phase of the project for the U.S. economy, of which 966 occur within the regional center. The second year of business operations on new facilities will support 155 jobs within the 4-county project economy located within the Vermont regional center. The total project job creation when considering construction and year 2 of operations is 1,267 new full time jobs, for the U.S. economy. Total jobs created far exceeds the requisite job creation total of 1,040 jobs for 104 foreign EB-5 investors. EDR below provides a synopsis of the job generating impacts. Allocation of jobs created - although the project is open to both U.S. and foreign investors, full time equivalent indirect and or direct jobs created as stated in the supplied project economic analysis will be applied only to foreign investors seeking to utilize the investment for immigration purpose.

Summary of Job Generating Impacts – Mount Snow Master Expansion Plan “Carinthia Group Project” November 12, 2012 An IMPLAN analysis (using region specific date for 2010) was conducted to evaluate the business plan for the Mount Snow (located in Windham County, Vermont) Carinthia Group expansion for job generation potential. Key findings are as follows: 

Development phase activity-associated with a $66 million budget (in 2012$), $65.2 million as economic transactions, will support 836 indirect jobs in the State of Vermont and 275 indirect jobs outside the boundary of the Regional Center. These 1,112 FTE jobs represent eligible job impacts supported during the development phase.



Once the facilities are completed – specifically the Carinthia Ski Lodge – Additional visitor spending in each of the first two years of operation (of the new facility) is valued at $4.98 million and $5.16 million in 2012$.



The total job generating effects of the annual visitor spending are 154 FTE’s by YR2 within the 4-county Southern Vermont study area and 1 indirect FTE’s in the remainder of the Vermont Regional Center.

SUMMARY OF JOB IMPACTS FOR CARINTHIA GROUP 1 AND 2 PROJECT Using IMPLAN 2010 data files, two multi-regional analysis systems were defined: for the development phase analysis a three-region context comprised of the Vermont economy, the rest of Northeast1, and the balance of the U.S. was assembled; for the visitor-spending analysis, the two-region analysis used an immediate 4-county sub-state economy centered on the Mount Snow facility2; and a second region identifying the rest of State. Using the development phasing for the Carinthia Ski Lodge Project (requiring $22 m of foreign investor funds plus another $6 m of private funds and a duration of within 2 years), and the West Lake Snowmaking Reservoir (requiring $30 m of foreign investor funds plus another $8 m of private funds for a 2+ year undertaking), the following “eligible“ job impacts (Vermont’s job impact for the ski lodge exclude the direct construction positions since the development duration is within 2 years) have been estimated:

During development there is a minimum of approximately $1.15 m of explicit equipment purchases for the Carinthia Ski Lodge (office equipment, telephone systems, computer network and servers). For the West Lake reservoir there is approximately $7.4 m of equipment purchases manufactured outside of Vermont (Mount. Snow estimates that 50 percent of these manufactures will be sourced from the northeast region, and the balance from Colorado, and Indiana). Vermont’s wholesale distributors will bring manufactured product in from out-of-state manufacturers, and the in-state distributors will earn their 15% mark-up. Therefore none of the manufactured content (pumps, pipes, air compressors, magic carpets, refrigeration units etc.) is assumed to come from Vermont.

First two years of annual operations (years 3 and 4 chronologically) are associated with new visitor spending of $4.976 m and $5.163 m respectively (in 2012 dollar basis). The estimate of total job impacts in Year 2 is as follows:

USE OF PARTNERSHIP FUNDS WEST LAKE PROJECT - LOANED FUNDS: $30,000,000 PURPOSE AND NEED FOR THE PROJECT The purpose and need for the proposed West Lake Project is to build a new snowmaking water storage and distribution source required by state and regulatory authorities and to provide Mount Snow with capacity to meet all of their current and future snowmaking water supply needs. Mount Snow’s primary water storage pond for snowmaking is Snow Lake, an 11-million gallon instream impoundment built in the 1960s. Snow Lake does not meet today’s state and federal requirements. Although it is “grandfathered” and Mount Snow is currently allowed to use it for snowmaking, the State of Vermont requires Mount Snow to bring Snow Lake into compliance with current environmental standards. The West Lake Project is the culmination of several years of planning and will allow Mount Snow to eliminate Snow Lake, and bring its other two sources of water for snowmaking into compliance with current rules and regulations for snowmaking ponds. The development of West Lake will increase Mount Snow’s capacity to make and distribute snow for skiing and snowboarding, to operate more snowmaking guns at once and open more trails early in the season with increased snowmaking capability, to improve snow conditions throughout the season, particularly after a thaw/freeze event, and to improve water quality through compliance with state and federal guidelines and rules for minimum flows and storm water management. The existing trail system at Mount Snow consists of 460 acres, of which approximately 359 acres (or roughly 78%) of ski trails are covered by snowmaking. Snowmaking is an essential part of making ski operations economically viable. Without it, resorts in the East would have shorter seasons and fewer open trails in all but high snowfall years, resulting in less than optimal conditions due to both inferior snow surfaces and skier congestion. Snowmaking allows ski resorts to create a dependable base that can withstand skier traffic and enables resorts to provide better snow conditions by re-surfacing trails after heavy use and/or thaw/freeze events. In the competitive ski market, snowmaking is a necessary tool that allows resorts to create favorable ski conditions and meet the high snow condition expectations of today’s recreational skier and snowboarder. Currently, Mount Snow draws water for snowmaking from three ponds, totaling just 21.7 million gallons of water storage. These ponds are drawn down and replenished several times over the course of the winter. Based on historical records, these existing water storage facilities and water sources provide 229 million gallons of water for snowmaking over the course of the winter season. The industry standard is one million gallons of water for every acre of snowmaking. With 359 42

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

snowmaking acres, current water storage facilities fall short of industry standards. Consequently, Mount Snow via its subsidiary West Lake Water Project, LLC proposes to construct a 120-million gallon snowmaking reservoir to meet its current and future snowmaking needs. Water would be supplied to the reservoir from an intake in Cold Brook. The new proposed snowmaking system will provide sufficient water to meet Mount Snow’s snowmaking demands for the foreseeable future, including all anticipated trail expansion. Additionally, it will allow all water withdrawals from their current water supply sources to either be eliminated or brought into compliance with current standards, and allow Mount Snow to come into compliance with Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Snowmaking Rules. PROJECT COMPONENTS The major project component is the construction of a 120-million gallon water storage reservoir covering approximately 12 acres. It will have a change in elevation of approximately 55 feet from the bottom of the lake to the top of the berm. A dam will be constructed at the south end of the lake. Additional components are: An Intake and Withdrawal Structure Located in Cold Brook. An inflatable dam installed in the brook will allow water to pool behind it. A Parshall flume installed in the brook will allow minimum required stream flows in Cold Brook. When water levels are such that they exceed the minimum flow, excess water will be fed via gravity to the West Lake pump house. West Lake Pump House. The West Lake pump house, a 1764-square foot building located on the West Lake parcel, will pump water from Cold Brook into West Lake and also pump water from West Lake to Mount Snow for snowmaking. If conditions allow, it can also pump water directly from Cold Brook to Mount Snow for snowmaking. The pump house will contain up to 10 pumps, and at full capacity be able to pump 10,000 gallons per minute.

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

Carinthia Pump House. Water pumped from West Lake will be delivered to a new pump house at the Carinthia base area. The Carinthia pump house will serve as a water distribution hub to supply water to the snowmaking guns that cover the ski slopes. Carinthia Pump House, approximately 4,000 square feet, also includes an attached snow garage, office space, restrooms, loft space and staff lockers. To cope with the increased demand of expanded snowmaking, up to 10 pumps and associated infrastructure will be installed within this building.

Carinthia Pump House Floor Plan

Architect's Plan of Carinthia Pump House

Air Center Pump House. In a similar capacity as the Carinthia pump house, the new Air Center will serve as an air and water distribution hub to the snowmaking guns which cover the ski slopes. Located on the mountain, the approximately 3,500-square-foot Air Center will house air compressors and booster pumps to distribute compressed air and water for snowmaking to all areas of the mountain. To cope with the increased demand of expanded snowmaking, new air compressors and pumps capable of meeting that demand will be installed within this building.

Pipelines. A total of 28,500 feet of pipe, ranging in size from 24” to 48” in diameter, will be installed to connect Cold Brook, West Lake and the pump houses.

Ski Lift. The project will also include a new Magic Carpet ski lift on the lower slope of the Carinthia Ski Area (Ski Baba) to provide skier access to the Carinthia area.

Highlights: West Lake Water Project, LLC, via its reservoir water storage facilities, dam, pumps and pipes is designed to distribute water to the Mount Snow Ski Resort for all of its planned snowmaking needs as well as monitoring the environmental impacts from water withdrawal and replenishment. Mount Snow will pay for the supply and services via a metered water measurement system. The meters utilize very reliable odometer technology and are factory calibrated to exacting standards prior to being shipped. Water flows through the meter and records the volume of water that has passed through the meter; meters do not record any level of 51

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

consumption unless water is flowing through them. Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation laws require that detailed reports and analysis be submitted that demonstrate items such as water usage, stream flow, water withdrawal and conservation flow requirements. As such snowmaking water consumption will be metered by a master meter. Point of use meters may also be required for compliance. West Lake Water Project, LLC will strive for rates that are equitable and easy to understand. A cost of service study may be completed periodically by West Lake Water Project, LLC to determine if revenues are sufficient to cover all costs. As the business operates, historic cost and usage data will be used as a basis. These studies look out over a period of three to five years comparing both costs and revenues. Amongst other things, the usage charge includes a portion of the repair and replacement costs for pipes, pumps, and all equipment required to supply, deliver and monitor water for snowmaking. It also includes the services, supplies, equipment and labor required to produce and store snowmaking water, such as power and maintenance of water pumping, and storage facilities.

CARINTHIA SKI LODGE PROJECT - LOANED FUNDS: $22,000,000 Carinthia Ski Lodge (aka BUILDING B) Approximately 36,000 Sq. ft.

PURPOSE AND NEED FOR THE PROJECT All quality resort facilities have a central commercial zone at their core. From this nucleus, varying amenities and recreational facilities emanate. At Mount Snow, the construction of a new approximately 36,000 square foot ski lodge at the Carinthia Base Area will serve to strengthen and expand the core at Carinthia. The new ski lodge will be a support building for day and overnight guests alike and will include food and beverage outlets, a retail and convenience store, ski rental shop, skier services, lift ticket and ski school sales, and entertainment areas for their needs. The lodge will also provide additional dining space. A restaurant seat analysis is provided below. In addition, an expanded parking lot, which corrects existing stormwater and environmental deficiencies, will be developed. The new ski lodge will be the main guest services hub for future planned extensive upscale hotel accommodations and recreational facilities which are to be built at the Carinthia Base Area as part of the MSMP. There is sufficient vacant land in the Carinthia Base Area for development and

55

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

construction of an appropriately sized base lodge as well as development and construction of the future accommodations. The Carinthia Base Area has undergone a significant change in the past few years. In 2008, Carinthia was designated to be a dedicated terrain park making it the largest terrain park and the only one of its kind in the Northeast. The future development of the Carinthia Base Area will enhance the overall Mount Snow resort experience. NEED FOR NEW SEATING - RESTAURANT SEAT ANALYSIS An industry standard for determining capacity at a ski area is Comfortable Carrying Capacity (CCC). CCC is defined as a level of utilization for a given resort that provides a pleasant recreational experience, without overburdening the resort infrastructure. CCC does not indicate a maximum level of visitation, but rather the number of visitors that can be “comfortably” accommodated on a daily basis. Related skier service facilities, including base lodge seating and restaurant requirements, are planned around this number. Mount Snow’s CCC is 10,370 visitors. Mount Snow Resort is serviced by three on-mountain food service facilities including one large facility, the Main Base Lodge, which includes six food service outlets. Additional food service facilities include the Sundance Base Lodge and the Summit Lodge. An inventory of the available seating was prepared from data collected on site and is presented in Table 1 below.

3,261

439 200 3,900

2 2

Number of Skiers Served 6,522 878 400 7,800

Mount Snow has 3,900 indoor seats that can be used by skiers over the lunch period. The capacity of food service establishments to provide lunch and other snacks to skiers is calculated by assuming an average turnover of 2.0 skiers per seat on any given day. Based on these assumptions, the existing restaurants and food outlets at Mount Snow can accommodate up to 7,800 skiers, short of the mountain’s Comfortable Carrying Capacity (CCC) of 10,370. In line with the National Ski Areas Association Kottke National End of Season Survey, approximately 26% of skier visits to Mount Snow are snowboarders, many of whom frequent the Carinthia Base Area and its dedicated terrain parks. While some of the snowboarders use other mountain areas, a similar portion of skiers utilize the freestyle areas at Carinthia. It is estimated that Carinthia captures 22% of snowboarder and skier visits which equates to 2,281 of the CCC.

56

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

The new Carinthia Ski Lodge will add an additional 619 seats. By assuming an average turnover of 2.0 skiers per seat, it is estimated overall that the Carinthia Ski Lodge will have a theoretic capacity to provide lunch service for 1,238 guests. This will greatly improve the overcrowding that exists in the two base lodges and summit lodge today and provide a much better resort experience.

PERMITTING STATUS In July 2011 the Vermont Act 250 Commission issued Partial Findings of Fact for the MSMP, which approved certain aspects of the master plan project including the total number of units and the design concept. Specifically, the approval includes the development in concept of up to 150 units at Carinthia and the Carinthia Ski Lodge. State and local permits are required for construction of the Carinthia Ski Lodge. Some ancillary permit applications, such as the potable water and storm water applications, have been submitted and are currently under review. It is expected that the State Act 250 permit application and the Dover local zoning permit application will be submitted in the first quarter of 2014. The permitting process for those permits will take approximately 4-6 months. No money will be released by the Partnership for hard construction costs until the relevant permits have been secured.

END OF CARINTHIA SKI LODGE SECTION

MOUNT SNOW LOCATION Mount Snow is a premier four season resort located in the Green Mountains of southern Vermont in West Dover. Mount Snow is the closest major resort to eastern metropolitan centers, just 4½ hours from New York City and 2½ hours or less from Boston, Hartford and Albany. In fact, Mount Snow is located within 4 hours drive of over 30 million people. HISTORY Although Carinthia Group 1 and 2, L.P. West Lake Water Project, LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge, LLC are newly formed entities, Mount Snow Resort has been a successful, largely winter resort for almost 60 years and is one of the leading ski resorts in eastern North America. The history of Mount Snow is a long and storied one. Founded in 1954 by ski visionary Walter Schoenknecht (who was inducted into the Ski Hall of Fame), Mount Snow has always been at the forefront of the industry. In the late 1950s, long before it became common, Mount Snow was the first eastern resort to feature a heated outdoor swimming pool open year-round and an indoor skating rink. In 1964, Mount Snow installed the first skis-on gondola. Mount Snow was also one of the early resorts to install snowmaking on its trails. Snow Lake, located at the base of the mountain, was dug out and not only stored water for snowmaking, but was used for summer recreation. Snow Lake Lodge was built on the edge of the lake offering winter and summer accommodations. During the period from 1970-1990, Mount Snow expanded its trail network through the development of the Sunbrook Area on the back side of the mountain and the acquisition of neighboring Carinthia Ski Area. Snowmaking increased from 7% to 78% of the mountain. The 1990s saw a flurry of activity. Mount Snow opened Un Blanco Gulch, the first snowboard park in the East. The 200-room Grand Summit Resort Hotel and Conference Center was built, offering ski-on ski-off accommodations and conference facilities for up to 875 guests. More than $5 million was invested in the Discovery Center, a new facility designed to introduce beginners to skiing and snowboarding. 66

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

In 2007 Mount Snow was purchased by Peak Resorts Inc. Peak Resorts has invested significant capital into the resort, including the installation of energy efficient snowmaking fan guns, the largest fleet of high-tech fan guns in North America. In 2008, all of Carinthia was converted to terrain parks, the most freestyle terrain in the East. Carinthia Park received the 2012 Visitors Choice awards from onthesnow.com for the best park and pipe in the Northeast. It was recently voted the top terrain park on the East coast in both Transworld Snowboarding and SKI magazines for the 2013-14 season, and Freeskier magazine selected it as one of the top ten terrain parks in North America. Over the past decade Mount Snow has hosted numerous national and international events and competitions attracting many tens of thousands of competitors and spectators. Major competitions include events such as the ESPN Winter X Games and Dew Tour, which in 2009 drew a signature pro field including Olympic gold medalists Shaun White, Hannah Teter, and Mount Snow’s own Kelly Clark. Additionally Mount Snow has hosted the USA cycling mountain bike national championships and the New England “Tough Mudder” adventure challenge series. Today Mount Snow continues to be a leader in the resort industry. The resort covers an area of 2,451 acres (over 3 square miles) spread over four mountain areas and welcomes on average 430,000 winter guests each year. In addition to skiing and snowboarding, winter activities at the resort include snow tubing, snowshoeing and snowmobile tours. Cross-country skiing and sleigh rides are offered nearby. The Grand Summit Hotel features a full-service spa, restaurant and bar open to the public. Summer activities include mountain and road biking, golf at the 18-hole Mount Snow Golf Club, hiking, fishing and a full schedule of festivals and events. Mount Snow’s year-round conference and banquet facilities cater to groups, conferences and wedding parties looking to get away to a mountain resort setting. Mount Snow’s commitment is to provide the best experience possible for their guests and visitors by investing into the resort each year in capital improvements and state of the art technology. The resort will continue to develop as a year-round, all-season destination so that economic viability is strengthened and job creation throughout the region prospers from this 4season economic structure. While the winter ski product remains Mount Snow’s primary focus,

67

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

spring, summer and fall events and conferences will continue to be an important business function. MARKET REVIEW The momentum that Mount Snow is creating is in large part due to the fact that Mount Snow has been true to their brand and has a good understanding of their core market and how to reach them. Mount Snow’s location in southern Vermont puts the resort within an easy drive from more than 30 million people. Based on the latest surveys, the largest percentage (41%) of Mount Snow’s guests come from the New York City metropolitan area, which consists of the largest city in the U.S. (New York City); counties comprising Long Island and the lower Hudson Valley in New York State; the six largest cities in New Jersey; and six of the seven largest cities in Connecticut including Fairfield County. The Boston and New Haven/Hartford areas each draw 15%. Mount Snow guests are affluent, with 59% having household incomes of greater than $100,000, and of those, 14% have incomes of greater than $250,000. Most of Mount Snow’s guests (75%) are overnight visitors. On average, they spend 3.3 nights in the area, although during holiday periods they come for longer stays. Almost half of Mount Snow’s guests are here with their families. Many are multi-generational, having come with their parents when they were children, they now are returning with their own children. Mount Snow’s strengths allow it to capitalize on its core market. Those strengths include proximity to the market, which is especially beneficial in a weak economy; superior snowmaking and grooming; variety of terrain for all ability levels; strong reputation for parks and pipes; exceptional children’s programs; strong après-ski music scene; respect for ownership; large capital investments in lifts and snowmaking; and customer loyalty. These attributes all contribute to the Mount Snow brand and make Mount Snow one of the most popular resorts in the East.

68

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

MARKETING STRATEGIES Mount Snow’s marketing plan incorporates a variety of outlets ranging from the traditional to the latest in social media. More traditional marketing includes print advertising, radio and TV advertising, outdoor billboards and direct mail. Mount Snow is also promoted extensively on the

Grand Summit Hotel and Conference Center, Mount Snow

internet though on-line advertising, web banners, travel sites such as travelzoo and expedia. Mount Snow’s own extensive interactive web site (mountsnow.com) allows guests to book lift tickets, ski lessons and lodging directly on-line. Marketing through social media includes the use of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Foursquare, Instagram, Vimeo and Google+. The group sales department has marketing programs in place directed at attracting groups such as religious organizations, social clubs, corporate entities, schools, civic organizations and military personnel. Mount Snow believes that these group discounts encourage new participants to try snow sports. Sales strategies include attending travel shows and expositions and working with travel wholesalers. Mount Snow also maximizes awareness through special events and promotions at ski shops and restaurants in southern New England and New York. TV and radio media are invited to cover special events and broadcast live from the resort. Past TV broadcasts have included the ESPN Winter X Games and the DEW Winter Tour, bringing Mount Snow into the homes of millions of viewers.

69

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

COMPETITION Mount Snow’s competition comes primarily from other ski resorts in southern and central Vermont, namely Stratton and Okemo. All three resorts have good snowmaking systems, although Mount Snow has a competitive advantage because by using fan gun technology snowmaking is more efficient and productive during marginal temperatures. Stratton and especially Okemo, because of their location slightly north, sometimes get more snow than Mount Snow. All three mountains are similar in size. Stratton and Okemo have extensive on-mountain accommodations while Mount Snow’s are limited. On the other hand, because of Mount Snow’s location near two Vermont villages, Mount Snow visitors have many more choices when it comes to restaurants and shopping.

West Dover Village at Mount Snow

From a pricing standpoint, Stratton is the most expensive of the three resorts to visit and it is expected they will remain so followed by Okemo, who have a similar though slightly lower pricing structure. Mount Snow’s pricing is similar to but more

competitive than that of Okemo. In summary, Okemo has a positive reputation, a strong family market, has built a strong reputation for snowmaking/grooming, yet lacks personality. Stratton charges a premium, has moderate crowds, and is perceived as being pricey and a bit pretentious. REVENUE The bulk of Mount Snow’s revenue (79%) comes from Resort Operations, defined as revenue from skier services and mountain operations. The second highest contributor to revenue is lodging, which is revenue from lodging and conference facilities. Resort operations and lodging revenue combined make up 96% of Mount Snow’s total revenue. The remainder of revenue comes from golf operations and real estate sales commissions. From 2008 to 2013, Mount Snow’s total revenue grew 14.3%.

RESORT OPERATIONS REVENUE Season pass and lift ticket sales make up the majority of Mount Snow’s resort revenues. Of Mount Snow’s total resort revenue, 58% comes from ticket or season pass sales and of that, 70

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

27% is from season pass sales. Season pass sales are an important revenue stream because they represent loyal Mount Snow customers who commit prior to the start of the ski season. From 2007 to 2013, pass and ticket revenues have increased 11.4%. The remainder of Mount Snow resort revenue comes from skier services. The table below shows the percentage of resort revenue and growth from 2008 to 2013 for Mount Snow’s highest resort revenue contributors.

SEASONALITY Ski resort operations are highly seasonal in nature. Mount Snow’s typical ski season begins in mid-November and runs through early April. In an effort to partially counterbalance the concentration of revenue during the winter months, Mount Snow offers non-ski attractions, such as golf, scenic lift rides, hiking and mountain biking, but these activities do not comprise a substantial portion of annual revenues. Important Note: Market data and certain industry forecasts used herein were obtained from Mount Snow and Peak Resort internal surveys, market research, and publicly available information and industry publications. While Mount Snow and Peak Resorts believe that the market research, publicly available information and industry publications they use are reliable, they have not independently verified market and industry data from third-party sources. Moreover, while Mount Snow and Peak Resorts believe their internal surveys are reliable, they have not been verified by any independent source.

THE SKI INDUSTRY The United States ski market represented approximately 56.9 million skier visits in the 2012/2013 ski season, the largest year-over-year percentage gain (up 11.7%) and absolute gain (up 5.9 million) in 30 years. The National Ski Areas Association Kottke National End of Season Survey reported that there were 478 ski areas operating during the 2012/2013 ski season in the United States. Given the consistency and strength of annual skier visits over a substantial time period and the recovering economy, Peak Resorts believe that participation will remain strong in the coming seasons. As noted above, an important measure of ski resort industry performance is the skier visit. The United States achieved approximately 56.90 million skier visits during the 2012/2013 ski season. The three years with the highest number of skier visits in the United States have occurred in the past six completed ski seasons. The Northeast region increased 21.0% over the previous year, and exceeded its 10-season average. The chart below illustrates the number of skier visits to U.S. ski resorts, industry-wide, during the past ten completed ski seasons.

The Kottke National End of Season Survey also reported that, similar to the prior three seasons, snowboarders make up 29.5% of overall skier visits nationally and approximately 26% of overall skier visits in the Northeast. The ski industry divides ski areas into three distinct categories: overnight fly destination ski areas, overnight drive ski areas and day ski areas. Overnight fly destination ski areas are defined as ski areas which primarily serve skiers who fly or drive considerable distances and stay for multiple nights. Overnight drive ski areas are ski areas which primarily serve skiers from the regional drive market who stay overnight. Day ski areas are those ski areas at which overnight, dining and after-ski facilities are limited, since the areas primarily serve a day skier market. Overnight fly destination ski areas are generally situated in or amidst major mountainous areas and are typically large facilities. These resorts depend, in large part, on long-distance travel by their visitors and on the development of adjacent real estate for housing, hospitality and retail uses. Day ski areas are smaller in size and usually located near metropolitan areas. As an owner and operator of primarily day ski areas and overnight drive ski areas, Peak Resorts and Mount Snow focus on selling lift tickets, renting ski equipment, selling ski lessons, selling convenienceoriented food and beverages and capitalizing on the convenience they provide to the targeted local market. Peak Resorts and Mount Snow believe that their resorts target a wide cross-section of the skiing public, from beginners who are skiing for the first time to intermediate and advanced skiers who are honing their skills. The sale of lift tickets comprises a large portion of the ski industry revenues. As such, another important measurement of the ski industry’s profitability is the average ticket yield, which is the 74

Section 2 - Business Plan | Carinthia Group

ratio of total ticket and season pass revenue to total skier visits. The pricing for various lift ticket products is such that single-day or multi-day tickets, which are typically purchased for a holiday or weekend of skiing, generate a higher average ticket yield than season passes or discounted frequency cards.

Average Ticket Yield

From the 2005/2006 ski season to 2012/2013 ski season, the average ticket yield of ski resorts in the United States has increased at a compound annual growth rate of 3.7%. Ski resorts in the United States had an average ticket yield of $42.06 during the 2012/2013 ski season, the highest within the past eight ski seasons despite the impact of the global economic downturn.

PEAK RESORTS PEAK RESORTS INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARY MOUNT SNOW Policy and decision making for Mount Snow is handled at group level by the board of Peak Resorts, Inc. The following information is provided to explain and inform interested parties of group polices strategy and data which may pertain to Mount Snow Ltd.

BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL OVERVIEW Peak Resorts is a leader and innovator in the ski industry with 13 ski resorts throughout the United States. Their resorts, located in geographically diverse areas, appeal to a wide range of visitors. All of Peak Resort’s properties employ snowmaking capability on a majority of their terrain, and all offer terrain parks for snowboarding and other alternative snow sports in addition to skiing. Through both organic growth and acquisitions, Peak Resorts believes that it has created an efficient, focused and highly profitable operation. In the past eight ski seasons, Peak Resorts revenues have grown approximately 211%, from $32,045,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to $99,688,500 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013. One of the primary ski industry statistics for measuring performance is a “skier visit,” which represents a person utilizing a ticket or pass to access a mountain resort for any part of one day and includes both paid and complimentary access. During the 2012/2013 ski season, total skier visits for all of the United States ski areas were approximately 59.6 million. Combined, Peak Resorts ski areas had approximately 1.3 million skier visits in the 2010/2011 ski season and approximately 1.7 million skier visits in the 2012/2013 ski season, which Peak Resorts believe put them among the top U.S. companies in terms of number of skier visits during these ski seasons. Peak Resorts is also a recognized leader within the alternative snow sports industry. To compensate for the steady decline in baby boom skiers, who are traditionally downhill skiers, the ski industry began to shift its focus to snowboarding and snow tubing during the 1990s in order to attract the younger skier population. This trend is easier for day and overnight drive ski areas to incorporate and is more likely to interest a novice participant who may be more likely to visit these ski areas than an overnight fly destination ski area. Because of Peak Resorts snowmaking abilities, they have been able to create terrain parks with rails, jumps and pipes and other snow sport amenities that have won them industry recognition. Transworld Snowboarding magazine named both Mount Snow’s Carinthia terrain park and Big Boulder’s terrain park in the top five east coast parks for 2011, and for the second consecutive year, Mad River was named “Favorite Terrain Park” in the Midwestern region by the visitors of OnTheSnow.com.

AUDITED ACCOUNTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Consolidated Audited Financial Statements for Peak Resorts, Inc. and its subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 together with the Independent Auditor’s Report are available to prospective investors upon request.

OPERATIONAL GOALS AND STRATEGY Peak Resorts operational goals include providing a quality ski experience for both traditional and alternative snow sports and maintaining maximum snowmaking capability to increase operable business days. Peak Resorts, like other operators of day ski areas and overnight drive ski areas, has a high fixed cost basis, attributable to snowmaking, human resource costs, equipment operation, maintenance and repairs. Therefore, increasing skier visits and increasing revenues per skier visit has a substantial impact on revenues. Adverse weather patterns are one of the core challenges faced by the entire industry. Peak Resorts anticipates this challenge and employs snowmaking systems that provide snowmaking capability on substantially all skiable areas. This makes the Peak Resorts ski areas less reliant on natural snowfall, which enables them to open earlier in the season, increasing the length of the ski season that is already relatively short. Snowmaking also gives the Peak Resorts ski areas a competitive advantage during the season, especially when natural snowfall is below average. The impact that snowmaking has on the ski experience is significant. Peak Resorts commitment to snowmaking excellence is an important component in developing their brand and ongoing market reputation. Peak Resorts has invested substantial amounts of money, and continues to invest in Mount Snow to adopt what they believe to be the most efficient snowmaking system available. Peak Resorts believe that their snowmaking system provides them with a competitive advantage over other ski area operators. Additionally, Peak Resorts is focused on reducing costs and energy usage. The snowmaking technology employed at its resorts not only provides stateof-the-art snowmaking, but the technology is extremely efficient, resulting in reduced energy costs at its resorts. In addition to snowmaking, Peak Resorts is also continually improving existing facilities and equipment at their ski areas.

I.

Application #2W1281 PARTIAL FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND ORDER 10 V.S.A., §§ 6001 - 6092

INTRODUCTION

On October 29, 2010, Mount Snow Ltd. filed Application #2W1281 for partial findings under Act 250 for a project described as the Mount Snow Master Plan. The Master Plan encompasses the redevelopment of Mount Snow’s base areas; projects at the Golf Course and Howe Farm to include a total of 900 residential units, 200,000 square feet of skier services, and on-mountain improvements, including additional snowmaking and new/replacement lifts. The Master Plan also includes a number of restoration and remediation components, including the restoration of the North Branch of the Deerfield River (North Branch) and the Base Lodge tributary, as well as the implementation of stormwater-related improvements. The project is located at Mount Snow Ltd properties in Dover, Wilmington and Somerset. Under Act 250, projects are reviewed based on the 10 criteria of 10 V.S.A. § 6086(a) (1)-(10). Before granting a permit, the District Environmental Commission (the Commission) must find that the project complies with these criteria and is not detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare. The Master Plan application is a request for partial findings based on the conceptual nature of proposed project elements as presented in the application. Before the Commission can grant a permit to construct, it must be able to make affirmative findings under all of the criteria for those aspects of the project seeking construction approval. The current Master Plan application does not include a request for affirmative findings under all criteria to construct any particular phase of the Master Plan project as there are no individual projects ready to commence. Each construction project will require a separate application and the Applicant will need to demonstrate conformance with criteria which were not granted affirmative findings in this decision. The Commission’s review is pursuant to Act 250 Rule 21 and the Environmental “Master Permit Policy and Procedure for Partial Findings of Fact”, adopted on February 25, 1998, Amended on March 29, 2000 (the Policy). Pursuant to the Policy, the Commission cannot issue a “master construction permit,” but will, instead, issue findings to guide the Applicant as it proceeds with implementation of the Master Plan. The Applicant will file applications for individual phases of the project. In order to obtain a permit for an individual phase, the Applicant must provide additional information, which will enable the Commission to issue affirmative findings on all criteria. The Commission emphasizes that these findings reflect only the information

Such termination shall be effective upon the date set forth in such resolution, if adopted because of and within a reasonable time after: (i) Unprotected Misconduct is determined to have taken place by the General Partner pursuant to a final non-appealable judgment of a court of the United States; or (ii) the willful and wrongful failure or refusal by the General Partner to substantially perform its functions under Section 4(a) above after notice of such failure or refusal has been provided to the General Partner and the General Partner has failed to cure such failure or -8-

refusal within 60 days of receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the prior provisions of this Paragraph (a), no such termination and removal shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the requirements set forth above, a Supermajority-inInterest of the Limited Partners shall have appointed a new General Partner who or which is an Affiliate of the terminated and removed General Partner and such Affiliate shall have joined in this Agreement in the capacity as such new General Partner, whereupon such new General Partner shall be deemed to have been admitted as such (except that in the case of a removal pursuant to clause (a)(i) above, the new General Partner need not be an Affiliate of the terminated General Partner). (b) (i) Except as described in Section 15(b), the General Partner shall not have any right to withdraw from the Partnership. Unless consented to by a Supermajority-inInterest of the Limited Partners, a resignation or similar act by the General Partner abdicating its position or functions shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and an “event of withdrawal of the general partner” under Section 17(a)(v) below. (ii) A termination of the General Partner under Paragraph (a) above shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, but shall be deemed an “event of withdrawal of the general partner” under Section 17(a)(v) below. (c) If, at the time of the termination, removal or resignation of the General Partner as described in Paragraphs (a) and/or (b) above, the affected or subject General Partner’s Capital Account has a negative balance, such General Partner shall be required to contribute to the capital of the Partnership such amount as will cause such Capital Account balance to be increased to zero. (d) If the business of the Partnership is continued with a replacement General Partner after an “event of withdrawal of the general partner”, as permitted by Section 17(a)(v) below, the Partnership shall be required to redeem the Partnership Interest of the terminated General Partner by payment in cash of an amount equal to the positive balance (if any) of its Capital Account as of the effective date of termination, such payment to be made within 270 days thereafter. If the balance of the terminated General Partner’s Capital Account is not positive as of the effective date of termination, its Partnership Interest shall nevertheless be surrendered and cancelled, without any payment by the Partnership. The foregoing provisions shall not affect any rights of the terminated General Partner: (i) to receive distributions in respect to its Partnership Interest under Section 10 above prior to completion of the redemption or surrender thereof, or (ii) to indemnification under Section 12 above; nor shall they constitute a release of any liabilities the terminated General Partner may have to the Partnership as a consequence of a breach (if any) of this Agreement. Section 15. Partnership Interests; Transfers; Admission of Substitute or Additional Limited Partners; Withdrawals. (a) The provisions of this Section 15 shall constitute an encumbrance upon all Partnership Interests and Ancillary Legal Interests. Any Transfer or purported Transfer by a Partner in violation of this Section 15 shall constitute a breach of duty under this Agreement. The Partnership shall not be required to recognize or give effect to any purported Transfer that has not been made in compliance with this Section 15. -9-

(b) All Transfers by the General Partner shall be prohibited unless made to an Affiliate of the General Partner. (c) (i) No Transfer by any Alien Entrepreneur shall be recognized by the Partnership or recorded in the Partnerships records unless such Alien Entrepreneur shall have submitted to the Partnership and the General Partner, in such form as shall be acceptable to the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, an acknowledgement that the subject Transfer may disqualify such Alien Entrepreneur for eligibility under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program and a release of the Partnership and the General Partner from all damages, whether direct, indirect, consequential or other, and all other consequences therefrom. (ii) No Limited Partner shall have the power to give any person the right to be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner. Except as provided in Section 7(d), any person who has acquired any Partnership Interest shall be admitted as a Limited Partner, and thereby succeed to the related Ancillary Legal Interest, only (x) with the approval of the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, (y) upon its execution and delivery of an instrument, in such form as the General Partner may require, whereby such person will become bound by this Agreement, and (z) if such person or the subject Limited Partners pays for all expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with such person's becoming a Limited Partner. (iii) Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii), a Transfer by testamentary disposition of a Partnership Interest to an Alien Entrepreneur’s spouse or child(ren) shall automatically cause such transferee(s) to be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner(s) and thereby succeed to the related Ancillary Legal Interest. (d) Except as provided in this Paragraph (d), no Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership. An Alien Entrepreneur may withdraw from the Partnership by giving written notice to the General Partner (with such supporting documentation as the General Partner may reasonably request) --(i) to the effect that such Alien Entrepreneur’s I-526 Petition has been denied by the USCIS for reasons other than fraud committed by or the material misrepresentation of such Alien Entrepreneur; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall be applicable only if the General Partner actually receives such notice not later than 30 days following such denial. (ii)

within 30 days following the fulfillment of the all of the following

conditions: (1) the regional center pilot program, created in support of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program as described in the Offering Memorandum (the “Pilot Program”) lapsed after the filing of his or her I-526 Petition but prior to its adjudication; AND (2) the Pilot Program was not reauthorized, or replaced by another program providing substantially the same immigration status benefits as the Pilot Program, within 12 months of such lapse (and such reauthorization or replacement is not then-pending); AND (3)

such I-526 Petition has not been adjudicated. - 10 -

In either of the events described in clauses (i) or (ii) above, within 90 days of the General Partner’s receipt of such notice (and such supporting documentation), the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to return to such Alien Entrepreneur, in full satisfaction of its rights and interests in, to and under its Partnership Interest and its Ancillary Legal Interest, the amount of such Alien Entrepreneur’s Capital Contribution, whereupon such Alien Entrepreneur shall, automatically and without more, be deemed to have dissociated from the Partnership. (iii) to the effect that such Alien Entrepreneur wishes to withdraw, in which event the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, is authorized (but shall not be required) to allow a Limited Partner to withdraw from the Partnership. Without limiting the General Partner’s discretion under the immediately preceding sentence, as a condition to authorizing withdrawal under this clause (iii), the subject Limited Partner is required to (i) accept in full satisfaction of its rights and interests in, to and under its Partnership Interest and its Ancillary Legal Interest ninety (90%) percent of the lesser of (x) the balance (but not less than zero) of its Capital Account, or (y) its Capital Contribution, (ii) deliver to the Partnership an acknowledgement that the subject withdrawal may disqualify such Limited Partner for eligibility under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program and a release of the General Partner and the Partnership from any direct or consequential damages and all other consequences therefrom, and (iii) deliver to the Partnership and the General Partner such other agreements as the General Partner may require. Upon the delivery of the documents and payment of the amount described above, the subject Limited Partner shall, automatically and without more, be deemed to have dissociated from the Partnership. (e) The Limited Partners acknowledge that any withdrawal under Paragraph (d) above may necessitate the replacement of the capital that was or is to be paid to the withdrawing Alien Entrepreneur. The General Partner may, at any time and from time to time -(i) create such additional classes of Partnership Interests having such relative rights, powers and duties as such General Partner may establish, including rights, powers and duties equal or junior to existing Partnership Interests; and (ii) whether or not in connection with clause (i) above, designate one or more persons for admission as a Limited Partner and, in connection therewith, determine the amount and the time or times at which shall be made, such person's Capital Contribution, the Partnership Interests to which such person shall be entitled, and all other terms and conditions of such person's admission as a Limited Partner (and in connection with which any such admission, Exhibit A shall be modified as appropriate). Each Limited Partner hereby consents to the admission to the Partnership of any additional Limited Partner in accordance with this Paragraph (e). (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Limited Partner shall, automatically and without more, be deemed to have dissociated from the Partnership upon the admission of the first additional Limited Partner to be admitted. (g)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 15,

- 11 -

(i) the General Partner may suspend all Transfers for a period of up to 12 months whenever the General Partner reasonably determines, or is advised by counsel, that in light of previous Transfers, any subsequent Transfer may reasonably be expected to result in a termination of the Partnership under Tax Regulatory Requirements; and (ii) the General Partner will prohibit any Transfer (a) unless, in the opinion of counsel for the Partnership or such other counsel satisfactory to the General Partner, such Transfer will not violate, or cause the original issuance of Partnership Interests or the Partnership to be in violation of, the securities laws, rules or regulations of the United States, including without Limitations the Investment Company Act of 1940 any state thereof or any other jurisdiction, or (b) if such Transfer would jeopardize the ability of any other Limited Partner to qualify under the EB-5 Immigration Investor Program to become a conditional lawful permanent resident of the United States. (h) Upon the Transfer of any Partnership Interest, the Partnership may elect, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, to adjust the basis of the Partnership property under Tax Regulatory Requirements. (i) Upon the occurrence of the various events described in this Section, the General Partner shall make appropriate modifications to Exhibit A; provided, however, that the failure to make such modifications shall not affect the substantive rights or obligations of the affected parties. (j) Nothing in this Agreement constitutes or is intended to constitute a guaranty of repayment of a Limited Partner’s Capital Contribution or an agreement to redeem or repurchase a Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest or its Ancillary Legal Interest. Section 16.

meeting; (ii) by a Limited Partner's failure to respond to a written request for consent sent by the General Partner to such Limited Partner, which failure to respond continues for at least 30 days after the date upon which such request was deemed received by such Limited Partner (which date shall be determined with reference to the date set forth in the return receipt with respect to the mailing or delivery of such request by the General Partner); or (iii) by the affirmative vote of a Limited Partner or its duly authorized proxy, registered orally or in writing at any meeting called to consider such matter and attended, in person or by representatives holding written proxies, by a Supermajority-in-Interest of the Limited Partners.

In order to most efficiently seek exemption from such registration for both the Partnership and the QP Fund without materially altering the economic rights and obligations of the Partners, the General Partner, in its reasonable discretion, may at any time cause a Limited Partner to exchange its interest in the Partnership for an economically equivalent interest in the QP Fund or vice versa.

EXHIBIT B DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND LOAN The total anticipated investment from Qualified Investors is $52,000,000. The Partnership and Carinthia Group 2, L.P. (collectively, the “Partnerships”) will use the proceeds of their offerings to fund loans that will be advanced to newly created wholly-owned subsidiaries of Mount Snow Ltd. (“Mount Snow”) to finance the development of two capital projects for the Mount Snow Ski Resort in West Dover, Vermont (the “Resort”). The Resort is owned and operated by Mount Snow which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Peak Resorts, Inc. In essence, the Alien Entrepreneurs will invest in the Partnerships which will in turn loan the Alien Entrepreneurs’ funds directly to the developers of the job-creating projects, West Lake, LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge, LLC as described below. The Partnerships will establish a non-revolving line of credit facility and collectively loan up to $30,000,000 to West Lake LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mount Snow, to facilitate the construction of a new water storage reservoir and dams for snowmaking with capacity of up to 120 million gallons, three new pump houses and the installation of snowmaking pipelines, trail upgrades and expansion, new ski lift and ancillary equipment (the "West Lake project"). The line of credit will be in the minimum amount of $500,000 and a maximum principal amount of $30,000,000 based upon the number of units sold pursuant to the offering described in the Offering Memorandum. The line of credit will be extended pursuant to a loan agreement between the Partnerships and West Lake LLC and will be evidenced by a non-revolving line of credit note and subject to a guaranty of collection by Peak Resorts, Inc. (collectively, the "West Lake Loan Documents"). The Partnerships will establish a non-revolving line credit facility and collectively loan up to $22,000,000 to Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mount Snow, for the construction of Carinthia Ski Lodge, a new three-story approximately thirty six thousand square-foot skier service building located at the base of the Carinthia slopes providing a restaurant, cafeteria and bars with seating for over six hundred people, a retail store, convenience store and sales center for lift tickets and rentals (the "Carinthia Ski Lodge project"). The line of credit will be in the minimum amount of $500,000 and a maximum principal amount of $22,000,000 based upon the number of units sold pursuant to the offering described in the Offering Memorandum. The line of credit will be extended pursuant to a loan agreement between the Partnerships and Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC and will be evidenced by a nonrevolving line of credit note and subject to a guaranty of collection by Peak Resorts, Inc. (collectively, the "Carinthia Ski Lodge Loan Documents"). To the extent that the offering is not fully subscribed and less than $52,000,000 is raised, the Partnerships will allocate up to the first $30,000,000 of subscriptions received and accepted to West Lake LLC for the development of the West Lake project. The West Lake project will be developed in three tranches consisting of $10,000,000 (tranche one), $12,500,000 (tranche two) and $7,500,000 (tranche three). To the extent that the General Partner accepts subscriptions for any tranche and the proceeds resulting from such subscriptions do not equal the amount for such tranche set forth above, Mount Snow will make alternative arrangements to finance the balance of the tranche. If and when subscriptions received exceed $30,000,000, the next $22,000,000 will be allocated to Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC for the development of the Carinthia Ski Lodge.

To the extent that the General Partner accepts subscriptions for the development of the Carinthia Ski Lodge and the proceeds resulting from such subscriptions do not equal $22,000,000, Mount Snow will make alternative arrangements to finance the balance required to complete the project. Without altering the economic rights and obligations of the Partners, the General Partner, in its reasonable discretion, may at any time cause a Limited Partner to exchange its interest in the Partnership for an economically equivalent interest in Carinthia Group 2, L.P. The parties intend that the West Lake project and the Carinthia Ski Lodge project will stimulate economic activity and preserve and create jobs at the Resort and have a significant economic impact on the local economy within the State of Vermont Regional Center and reach into the Northeastern United States and the rest of the United States.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the following allocations shall be made for each Fiscal Year prior to the making of any other allocations under this Agreement and in the following order of priority: (i) If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year such that an allocation is required by Treas. Reg. 1.704-2(f), items of income and gain shall be allocated to the Partners in the manner and to the extent required by such Regulation.

Reg. 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this subsection shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in Section 9 of the Agreement and this Paragraph (A) have been tentatively made as if this subparagraph (iii) were not in this Appendix.

(iii) If property of the Partnership (other than property described in subparagraph (ii) of this Paragraph (B)) is reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Partners and on the books of the Partnership at a book value that differs from the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes by reason of a revaluation of such property, then items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such property for federal income tax purposes (but not for book purposes) shall be shared among the Partners in a manner that takes account of the difference between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its book value in the same manner as differences between adjusted basis and fair market value are taken into account in determining the Partners’ shares of tax items under Section 704(c) of II-2

the Tax Code. IV.

Tax Distributions.

(A) Within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Partnership may, at the reasonable discretion of the General Partner, distribute to each Partner from Profits allocated to such Partner under Section 9 of the Agreement cash in an amount (the "Tax Distributions") equal to the product of (i) such allocated Profits, multiplied by (b) the highest individual U.S. federal income tax rate effective in such Fiscal Year (not including the rate of withholding applicable to nonresident alien partners under Section 1446 of the Tax Code).

(C) Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding Paragraph (A), Tax Distributions otherwise required to be made to any Partner with respect to any Fiscal Year pursuant to this Part IV shall be reduced by the amount of any other cash distributions (other than in return of capital) made by the Partnership to such Partner during such Fiscal Year or within 90 days thereafter; provided, however, that any Tax Distribution made within 90 days after the beginning of any Fiscal Year with respect to a prior year shall be accounted for as a Tax Distribution for such prior Fiscal Year. (D) The Partnership, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, may make Tax Distributions to the Partners during any Fiscal Year to enable them to satisfy their liabilities to make estimated tax payments with respect to such Fiscal Year or the preceding Fiscal Year based on calculations of the Partners' estimated tax liabilities made pursuant to this Part IV as of such dates as the General Partner in its sole discretion may determine. V.

Allocations and Distributions upon Winding Up.

(A) Prior to any distribution relating to dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner or the Liquidation Trustee shall adjust each Partner’s Capital Account to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss and deduction inherent in the Partnership’s property (that has not been reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts previously) would be II-3

allocated among the Partners if there were a taxable disposition of such property for the fair market value of such property (taking Section 7701(g) of the Tax Code into account) on the date of distribution. (B) Distribution to the Partners of the Partnership assets upon dissolution shall be made in accordance with the net credit balances in their respective Capital Accounts as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the Partnership taxable year during which such dissolution and winding up occurs (other than those made pursuant to this Paragraph (B) or the following Paragraph (C)) by the end of such taxable year (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such dissolution and winding up). (C) If the General Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account following the distribution of Partnership assets upon dissolution, as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the taxable year during which such dissolution occurs (other than those made pursuant to this Paragraph (C)), the General Partner shall be required to restore the amount of such deficit to the Partnership as soon as practicable but in no event later than the end of such taxable year (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of the Partnership's liquidation), which amount shall be paid to the Partnership's creditors or distributed to the Partners in accordance with their respective positive Capital Account balances in accordance with Paragraph (B); provided, however, that no Partnership creditor may rely upon this sentence in order to create an obligation of the General Partner to pay a Partnership debt which the General Partner is not otherwise personally obligated to pay.

The report shall be accompanied by a supplementary schedule showing the entries to the Partners’ Capital Accounts (individually and in the aggregate) in respect of such Fiscal Year, together with all other information necessary for the Partners to prepare their federal and state income tax returns. (b) In connection with the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership, the General Partner or the Liquidation Trustee shall furnish to each Partner a termination report containing the balance sheet and statements of profit or loss and cash flows of the Partnership as of and for the period ended on the substantial completion of the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership, together with a supplementary schedule showing the final entries to the Partners’ Capital Accounts (individually and in the aggregate). (c) Each Partner acknowledges and agrees that the information contained in the reports delivered pursuant to this Section 11, and all other information and data relating to the Partnership and the business and affairs of the Partnership delivered to or obtained by any of the Partners, shall be deemed and treated by them as confidential and proprietary to the Partnership. In addition to the other duties imposed by this Agreement or the Act, each Partner shall be required to refrain from using or divulging such information in a manner that would or might interfere with carrying out the Partnership’s purposes or cause damage to the Partnership’s economic prospects, good will or commercial standing. The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph (c) shall not be -7-

deemed to limit or supersede the right, power and authority of the General Partner to protect trade secrets and other information on behalf of the Partnership or to comply with legal or contractual obligations applicable to the Partnership. Section 12.

Indemnification.

(a) To the fullest extent allowed by the Act or otherwise by law, the Partnership shall indemnify the General Partner, and each of its managers, managing members and members, and their respective officers, employees and agents (in its capacity as such), and hold each of them harmless against and from, and where requested advance amounts for the payment of, (i) any and all costs, expenses and fees reasonably paid or incurred in the defense of any claims, demands and causes of action threatened, asserted or filed against the General Partner, and/or any of its managers, managing members and members, and their respective officers, employees and agents, and related to the affairs of the Partnership and/or the conduct of its business, (ii) amounts reasonably paid in settlement of any such claims, demands and causes of action, and (iii) liabilities and damages incurred as a result thereof. (b) The rights to indemnification set forth in Paragraph (a) above shall apply to claims, demands and causes of action threatened, asserted or filed in any court, other tribunal or arbitral forum (i) derivatively on behalf of the Partnership, (ii) by or on behalf of a Limited Partner or former Limited Partner in its own right, and/or (iii) by or on behalf of a third party, including any creditor, creditor representative or governmental agency; provided, however, that the rights to such indemnification shall not apply where Unprotected Misconduct is determined to have taken place by the General Partner pursuant to a final non-appealable judgment of a court of the United States. Section 13. Exculpation from Liability. Neither the General Partner, nor any of its managers, managing members and members, and their respective officers, employees and agents, shall be liable to the Partnership or any Limited Partner for any errors of judgment or for any other actions taken or omissions made, except only where Unprotected Misconduct or a willful violation of this Agreement is determined to have taken place by the General Partner pursuant to a final nonappealable judgment of a court of the United States. Section 14.

Termination of General Partner.

(a) A Supermajority-in-Interest of the Limited Partners shall have the right to terminate the General Partner’s powers and authority under Section 4 above and under the Act, and to remove the incumbent from its position as General Partner, upon the occurrence of either of the following items (i) or (ii) and the adoption of a resolution so directing. Such termination shall be effective upon the date set forth in such resolution, if adopted because of and within a reasonable time after: (i) Unprotected Misconduct is determined to have taken place by the General Partner pursuant to a final non-appealable judgment of a court of the United States; or (ii) the willful and wrongful failure or refusal by the General Partner to substantially perform its functions under Section 4(a) above after notice of such failure or refusal has been provided to the General Partner and the General Partner has failed to cure such failure or refusal within 60 days of receipt of such notice. -8-

Notwithstanding the prior provisions of this Paragraph (a), no such termination and removal shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the requirements set forth above, a Supermajority-inInterest of the Limited Partners shall have appointed a new General Partner who or which is an Affiliate of the terminated and removed General Partner and such Affiliate shall have joined in this Agreement in the capacity as such new General Partner, whereupon such new General Partner shall be deemed to have been admitted as such (except that in the case of a removal pursuant to clause (a)(i) above, the new General Partner need not be an Affiliate of the terminated General Partner). (b) (i) Except as described in Section 15(b), the General Partner shall not have any right to withdraw from the Partnership. Unless consented to by a Supermajority-inInterest of the Limited Partners, a resignation or similar act by the General Partner abdicating its position or functions shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and an “event of withdrawal of the general partner” under Section 17(a)(v) below. (ii) A termination of the General Partner under Paragraph (a) above shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, but shall be deemed an “event of withdrawal of the general partner” under Section 17(a)(v) below. (c) If, at the time of the termination, removal or resignation of the General Partner as described in Paragraphs (a) and/or (b) above, the affected or subject General Partner’s Capital Account has a negative balance, such General Partner shall be required to contribute to the capital of the Partnership such amount as will cause such Capital Account balance to be increased to zero. (d) If the business of the Partnership is continued with a replacement General Partner after an “event of withdrawal of the general partner”, as permitted by Section 17(a)(v) below, the Partnership shall be required to redeem the Partnership Interest of the terminated General Partner by payment in cash of an amount equal to the positive balance (if any) of its Capital Account as of the effective date of termination, such payment to be made within 270 days thereafter. If the balance of the terminated General Partner’s Capital Account is not positive as of the effective date of termination, its Partnership Interest shall nevertheless be surrendered and cancelled, without any payment by the Partnership. The foregoing provisions shall not affect any rights of the terminated General Partner: (i) to receive distributions in respect to its Partnership Interest under Section 10 above prior to completion of the redemption or surrender thereof, or (ii) to indemnification under Section 12 above; nor shall they constitute a release of any liabilities the terminated General Partner may have to the Partnership as a consequence of a breach (if any) of this Agreement. Section 15. Partnership Interests; Transfers; Admission of Substitute or Additional Limited Partners; Withdrawals. (a) The provisions of this Section 15 shall constitute an encumbrance upon all Partnership Interests and Ancillary Legal Interests. Any Transfer or purported Transfer by a Partner in violation of this Section 15 shall constitute a breach of duty under this Agreement. The Partnership shall not be required to recognize or give effect to any purported Transfer that has not been made in compliance with this Section 15.

-9-

(b) All Transfers by the General Partner shall be prohibited unless made to an Affiliate of the General Partner. (c) (i) No Transfer by any Alien Entrepreneur shall be recognized by the Partnership or recorded in the Partnerships records unless such Alien Entrepreneur shall have submitted to the Partnership and the General Partner, in such form as shall be acceptable to the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, an acknowledgement that the subject Transfer may disqualify such Alien Entrepreneur for eligibility under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program and a release of the Partnership and the General Partner from all damages, whether direct, indirect, consequential or other, and all other consequences therefrom. (ii) No Limited Partner shall have the power to give any person the right to be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner. Except as provided in Section 7(d), any person who has acquired any Partnership Interest shall be admitted as a Limited Partner, and thereby succeed to the related Ancillary Legal Interest, only (x) with the approval of the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, (y) upon its execution and delivery of an instrument, in such form as the General Partner may require, whereby such person will become bound by this Agreement, and (z) if such person or the subject Limited Partners pays for all expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with such person's becoming a Limited Partner. (iii) Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii), a Transfer by testamentary disposition of a Partnership Interest to an Alien Entrepreneur’s spouse or child(ren) shall automatically cause such transferee(s) to be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner(s) and thereby succeed to the related Ancillary Legal Interest. (d) Except as provided in this Paragraph (d), no Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership. An Alien Entrepreneur may withdraw from the Partnership by giving written notice to the General Partner (with such supporting documentation as the General Partner may reasonably request) --(i) to the effect that such Alien Entrepreneur’s I-526 Petition has been denied by the USCIS for reasons other than fraud committed by or the material misrepresentation of such Alien Entrepreneur; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall be applicable only if the General Partner actually receives such notice not later than 30 days following such denial. (ii)

within 30 days following the fulfillment of the all of the following

conditions: (1) the regional center pilot program, created in support of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program as described in the Offering Memorandum (the “Pilot Program”) lapsed after the filing of his or her I-526 Petition but prior to its adjudication; AND (2) the Pilot Program was not reauthorized, or replaced by another program providing substantially the same immigration status benefits as the Pilot Program, within 12 months of such lapse (and such reauthorization or replacement is not then-pending); AND (3)

such I-526 Petition has not been adjudicated.

- 10 -

In either of the events described in clauses (i) or (ii) above, within 90 days of the General Partner’s receipt of such notice (and such supporting documentation), the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to return to such Alien Entrepreneur, in full satisfaction of its rights and interests in, to and under its Partnership Interest and its Ancillary Legal Interest, the amount of such Alien Entrepreneur’s Capital Contribution, whereupon such Alien Entrepreneur shall, automatically and without more, be deemed to have dissociated from the Partnership. (iii) to the effect that such Alien Entrepreneur wishes to withdraw, in which event the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, is authorized (but shall not be required) to allow a Limited Partner to withdraw from the Partnership. Without limiting the General Partner’s discretion under the immediately preceding sentence, as a condition to authorizing withdrawal under this clause (iii), the subject Limited Partner is required to (i) accept in full satisfaction of its rights and interests in, to and under its Partnership Interest and its Ancillary Legal Interest ninety (90%) percent of the lesser of (x) the balance (but not less than zero) of its Capital Account, or (y) its Capital Contribution, (ii) deliver to the Partnership an acknowledgement that the subject withdrawal may disqualify such Limited Partner for eligibility under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program and a release of the General Partner and the Partnership from any direct or consequential damages and all other consequences therefrom, and (iii) deliver to the Partnership and the General Partner such other agreements as the General Partner may require. Upon the delivery of the documents and payment of the amount described above, the subject Limited Partner shall, automatically and without more, be deemed to have dissociated from the Partnership. (e) The Limited Partners acknowledge that any withdrawal under Paragraph (d) above may necessitate the replacement of the capital that was or is to be paid to the withdrawing Alien Entrepreneur. The General Partner may, at any time and from time to time -(i) create such additional classes of Partnership Interests having such relative rights, powers and duties as such General Partner may establish, including rights, powers and duties equal or junior to existing Partnership Interests; and (ii) whether or not in connection with clause (i) above, designate one or more persons for admission as a Limited Partner and, in connection therewith, determine the amount and the time or times at which shall be made, such person's Capital Contribution, the Partnership Interests to which such person shall be entitled, and all other terms and conditions of such person's admission as a Limited Partner (and in connection with which any such admission, Exhibit A shall be modified as appropriate). Each Limited Partner hereby consents to the admission to the Partnership of any additional Limited Partner in accordance with this Paragraph (e). (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Limited Partner shall, automatically and without more, be deemed to have dissociated from the Partnership upon the admission of the first additional Limited Partner to be admitted. (g)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 15, (i)

the General Partner may suspend all Transfers for a period of up to 12 - 11 -

months whenever the General Partner reasonably determines, or is advised by counsel, that in light of previous Transfers, any subsequent Transfer may reasonably be expected to result in a termination of the Partnership under Tax Regulatory Requirements; and (ii) the General Partner will prohibit any Transfer (a) unless, in the opinion of counsel for the Partnership or such other counsel satisfactory to the General Partner, such Transfer will not violate, or cause the original issuance of Partnership Interests or the Partnership to be in violation of, the securities laws, rules or regulations of the United States, including without Limitations the Investment Company Act of 1940 any state thereof or any other jurisdiction, or (b) if such Transfer would jeopardize the ability of any other Limited Partner to qualify under the EB-5 Immigration Investor Program to become a conditional lawful permanent resident of the United States. (h) Upon the Transfer of any Partnership Interest, the Partnership may elect, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, to adjust the basis of the Partnership property under Tax Regulatory Requirements. (i) Upon the occurrence of the various events described in this Section, the General Partner shall make appropriate modifications to Exhibit A; provided, however, that the failure to make such modifications shall not affect the substantive rights or obligations of the affected parties. (j) Nothing in this Agreement constitutes or is intended to constitute a guaranty of repayment of a Limited Partner’s Capital Contribution or an agreement to redeem or repurchase a Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest or its Ancillary Legal Interest. Section 16.

Action by and Meetings of the Limited Partners.

(a) Any consent, approval or determination in regard to any Partnership matter committed by this Agreement or the Act for decision (in whole or in part) by the Limited Partners may be (or shall be deemed to have been) expressed as follows: (i)

meeting; (ii) by a Limited Partner's failure to respond to a written request for consent sent by the General Partner to such Limited Partner, which failure to respond continues for at least 30 days after the date upon which such request was deemed received by such Limited Partner (which date shall be determined with reference to the date set forth in the return receipt with respect to the mailing or delivery of such request by the General Partner); or (iii) by the affirmative vote of a Limited Partner or its duly authorized proxy, registered orally or in writing at any meeting called to consider such matter and attended, in person or by representatives holding written proxies, by a Supermajority-in-Interest of the Limited Partners. (b) Any matter requiring the vote, consent, approval, determination, election or agreement of the Limited Partners pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or by law may be - 12 -

The General Partner may give such notice in its discretion at any time, but shall be required to give such notice within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a written request for such meeting from the Limited Partners holding a majority of the total Partnership Interests held by all Limited Partners.

(b) After an event of dissolution, the General Partner or the Liquidation Trustee shall wind up the affairs of the Partnership, and marshal, liquidate and distribute its assets in accordance with the Act; provided, however, the General Partner or the Liquidation Trustee shall have full power and authority to defer liquidation of, or refrain from liquidating, any assets of the - 13 -

In order to most efficiently seek exemption from such registration for both the Partnership and the ICA Fund without materially altering the economic rights and obligations of the Partners, the General Partner, in its reasonable discretion, may at any time cause a Limited Partner to exchange its interest in the Partnership for an economically equivalent interest in the ICA Fund or vice versa.

EXHIBIT B DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND LOAN The total anticipated investment from Qualified Investors is $52,000,000. The Partnership and Carinthia Group 1, L.P. (collectively, the “Partnerships”) will use the proceeds of their offerings to fund loans that will be advanced to newly created wholly-owned subsidiaries of Mount Snow Ltd. (“Mount Snow”) to finance the development of two capital projects for the Mount Snow Ski Resort in West Dover, Vermont (the “Resort”). The Resort is owned and operated by Mount Snow which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Peak Resorts, Inc. In essence, the Alien Entrepreneurs will invest in the Partnerships which will in turn loan the Alien Entrepreneurs’ funds directly to the developers of the job-creating projects, West Lake, LLC and Carinthia Ski Lodge, LLC as described below. The Partnerships will establish a non-revolving line of credit facility and collectively loan up to $30,000,000 to West Lake LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mount Snow, to facilitate the construction of a new water storage reservoir and dams for snowmaking with capacity of up to 120 million gallons, three new pump houses and the installation of snowmaking pipelines, trail upgrades and expansion, new ski lift and ancillary equipment (the "West Lake project"). The line of credit will be in the minimum amount of $500,000 and a maximum principal amount of $30,000,000 based upon the number of units sold pursuant to the offering described in the Offering Memorandum. The line of credit will be extended pursuant to a loan agreement between the Partnerships and West Lake LLC and will be evidenced by a non-revolving line of credit note and subject to a guaranty of collection by Peak Resorts, Inc. (collectively, the "West Lake Loan Documents"). The Partnerships will establish a non-revolving line credit facility and collectively loan up to $22,000,000 to Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mount Snow, for the construction of Carinthia Ski Lodge, a new three-story approximately thirty six thousand square-foot skier service building located at the base of the Carinthia slopes providing a restaurant, cafeteria and bars with seating for over six hundred people, a retail store, convenience store and sales center for lift tickets and rentals (the "Carinthia Ski Lodge project"). The line of credit will be in the minimum amount of $500,000 and a maximum principal amount of $22,000,000 based upon the number of units sold pursuant to the offering described in the Offering Memorandum. The line of credit will be extended pursuant to a loan agreement between the Partnerships and Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC and will be evidenced by a nonrevolving line of credit note and subject to a guaranty of collection by Peak Resorts, Inc. (collectively, the "Carinthia Ski Lodge Loan Documents"). To the extent that the offering is not fully subscribed and less than $52,000,000 is raised, the Partnerships will allocate up to the first $30,000,000 of subscriptions received and accepted to West Lake LLC for the development of the West Lake project. The West Lake project will be developed in three tranches consisting of $10,000,000 (tranche one), $12,500,000 (tranche two) and $7,500,000 (tranche three). To the extent that the General Partner accepts subscriptions for any tranche and the proceeds resulting from such subscriptions do not equal the amount for such tranche set forth above, Mount Snow will make alternative arrangements to finance the balance of the tranche. If and when subscriptions received exceed $30,000,000, the next $22,000,000 will be allocated to Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC for the development of the Carinthia Ski Lodge.

To the extent that the General Partner accepts subscriptions for the development of the Carinthia Ski Lodge and the proceeds resulting from such subscriptions do not equal $22,000,000, Mount Snow will make alternative arrangements to finance the balance required to complete the project. Without altering the economic rights and obligations of the Partners, the General Partner, in its reasonable discretion, may at any time cause a Limited Partner to exchange its interest in Carinthia Group 1, L.P. for an economically equivalent interest in the Partnership.

"Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain" has the meaning set forth in Treas. Reg. 1.704-2(i). "Partner Nonrecourse Deduction" has the meaning set forth in Treas. Reg. 1.704-2(i). "Partner Nonrecourse Loan" means a loan made to, or credit arrangement for the benefit of, the Partnership by a Partner or by a person related to a Partner (as defined in Treas. Reg. 1.752-4(b)) which by its terms exculpates the Partners from personal liability on the debt, but under which such Partner or related person bears the ultimate economic risk of loss within the meaning of Treas.

Reg. 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations to them of items of income, gain, loss and deduction (including depreciation, depletion, amortization and other cost recovery) as computed for book purposes, and no further adjustments shall be made to the Capital Accounts to reflect the Members' shares of the corresponding tax items. For purposes of computing such adjustments to the Capital Accounts, the Partnership will utilize the method of computing depreciation, depletion or amortization with respect to such property as is utilized for federal income tax purposes except that the property's value for book purposes will be used rather than its adjusted tax basis. III.

Allocations of Profits and Losses.

(A) Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the following allocations shall be made for each Fiscal Year prior to the making of any other allocations under this Agreement and in the following order of priority: (i) If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year such that an allocation is required by Treas. Reg. 1.704-2(f), items of income and gain shall be allocated to the Partners in the manner and to the extent required by such Regulation. This provision is intended to be a minimum gain chargeback within the meaning of Treas. Reg. 1.704-2(f)(1) and shall be interpreted and applied consistently therewith.

II-1

(ii) If there is a net decrease in the minimum gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Loan during any Fiscal Year such that an allocation is required by Treas. Reg. 1.704-2(i)(4) (minimum gain chargeback attributable to a Partner nonrecourse debt), items of income and gain shall be allocated in the manner and to the extent required by such Regulation. (iii) If a Partner receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in subclauses (4), (5) or (6) of Treas. Reg. 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this subsection shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in Section 9 of the Agreement and this Paragraph (A) have been tentatively made as if this subparagraph (iii) were not in this Appendix. (iv) Nonrecourse Deductions, if any, for any Fiscal Year or period shall be allocated to the Partners in an amount equal, and in proportion, to the allocation of Profits for such Fiscal Year or period pursuant to Section 9 of the Agreement. (v) Any Partner Nonrecourse Deduction shall be allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the loan giving rise to such deduction within the meaning of Treas. Reg. 1.752-2. (B)

(ii) If property is contributed to the Partnership by a Partner and there is a difference between the basis of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and the fair market value at the time of its contribution, then items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such property as computed for federal income tax purposes (but not for book purposes) shall be shared among the Partners so as to take account of such difference as required by Section 704(c) of the Tax Code. (iii) If property of the Partnership (other than property described in subparagraph (ii) of this Paragraph (B)) is reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Partners and on the books of the Partnership at a book value that differs from the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes by reason of a revaluation of such property, then items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such property for federal income tax purposes (but not for book purposes) shall be shared among the Partners in a manner that takes account of the difference between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its book value in the same manner as differences between adjusted basis and fair market value are taken into account in determining the Partners’ shares of tax items under Section 704(c) of II-2

the Tax Code. IV.

Tax Distributions.

(A) Within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Partnership may, at the reasonable discretion of the General Partner, distribute to each Partner from Profits allocated to such Partner under Section 9 of the Agreement cash in an amount (the "Tax Distributions") equal to the product of (i) such allocated Profits, multiplied by (b) the highest individual U.S. federal income tax rate effective in such Fiscal Year (not including the rate of withholding applicable to nonresident alien partners under Section 1446 of the Tax Code). Tax Distributions shall be treated as non-interest bearing advances of, and shall be credited against, the first distributions otherwise to be made to such Partner in accordance with Section 10 of the Agreement. (B) The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to be responsible for making income tax payments to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the nonresident alien Partners pursuant to Section 1446 of the Tax Code (the "Section 1446 Payments"), which payments shall constitute constructive distributions to such Partners (and shall be credited against the amount of distributions owing to each such Partner pursuant to the preceding Paragraph (A)). In the event that the Section 1446 Payments made on behalf of any particular Partner exceeds the Tax Distributions required to be distributed in accordance with the preceding Paragraph (A) to such Partner, such excess shall be treated as a loan to such Partner, which loan shall bear interest at 10% per annum, non-compounded, and (along with accrued interest) shall be withheld by the Partnership from the first distributions otherwise to be made to such Partner in accordance with Section 10 of the Agreement. (C) Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding Paragraph (A), Tax Distributions otherwise required to be made to any Partner with respect to any Fiscal Year pursuant to this Part IV shall be reduced by the amount of any other cash distributions (other than in return of capital) made by the Partnership to such Partner during such Fiscal Year or within 90 days thereafter; provided, however, that any Tax Distribution made within 90 days after the beginning of any Fiscal Year with respect to a prior year shall be accounted for as a Tax Distribution for such prior Fiscal Year. (D) The Partnership, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, may make Tax Distributions to the Partners during any Fiscal Year to enable them to satisfy their liabilities to make estimated tax payments with respect to such Fiscal Year or the preceding Fiscal Year based on calculations of the Partners' estimated tax liabilities made pursuant to this Part IV as of such dates as the General Partner in its sole discretion may determine. V.

Allocations and Distributions upon Winding Up.

(A) Prior to any distribution relating to dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner or the Liquidation Trustee shall adjust each Partner’s Capital Account to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss and deduction inherent in the Partnership’s property (that has not been reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts previously) would be II-3

allocated among the Partners if there were a taxable disposition of such property for the fair market value of such property (taking Section 7701(g) of the Tax Code into account) on the date of distribution. (B) Distribution to the Partners of the Partnership assets upon dissolution shall be made in accordance with the net credit balances in their respective Capital Accounts as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the Partnership taxable year during which such dissolution and winding up occurs (other than those made pursuant to this Paragraph (B) or the following Paragraph (C)) by the end of such taxable year (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such dissolution and winding up). (C) If the General Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account following the distribution of Partnership assets upon dissolution, as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the taxable year during which such dissolution occurs (other than those made pursuant to this Paragraph (C)), the General Partner shall be required to restore the amount of such deficit to the Partnership as soon as practicable but in no event later than the end of such taxable year (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of the Partnership's liquidation), which amount shall be paid to the Partnership's creditors or distributed to the Partners in accordance with their respective positive Capital Account balances in accordance with Paragraph (B); provided, however, that no Partnership creditor may rely upon this sentence in order to create an obligation of the General Partner to pay a Partnership debt which the General Partner is not otherwise personally obligated to pay.

If an existing investor cannot make these representations, the Partnership may require the withdrawal of such investor. I agree promptly to notify the Partnership should I become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. I am advised that, by law, the Partnership may be obligated to “freeze my account,” including by segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations, and the Partnership may also be required to report such action and to disclose my identity to OFAC. I further acknowledge that the General Partner may, by written notice to me, suspend distributions payable to me if the General Partner reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Partnership, the General Partner and its affiliates, subsidiaries or associates or any of the Partnership’s other service providers.

Real estate that is used by the owner or a Related Person (as defined below) of the owner for personal purposes, or as a place of business, or in connection with the conduct of the trade or business of such owner or a Related Person of the owner, shall NOT be considered real estate held for investment purposes; provided, that real estate owned by an Investor that is engaged primarily in the business of investing, trading or developing real estate in connection with such business may be deemed to be held for investment purposes. However, residential real estate shall not be deemed to be used for personal purposes if deductions with respect to such real estate are not disallowed by Section 280A of the Code. A Commodity Interest or Physical Commodity owned, or a Financial Contract entered into, by the Investor that is engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or

There shall be deducted from the amount of any such investments any amounts specified by paragraph 2(a) of Annex 2 incurred by such spouse. In determining whether a natural person is a qualified purchaser, there may be included in the amount of such person’s investments any investments held in an individual retirement account or similar account the investments of which are directed by and held for the benefit of such person.

EXHIBIT B Annex 2 VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS The general rule for determining the value of investments in order to ascertain whether a Person is a qualified purchaser is that the value of the aggregate amount of investments owned and invested on a discretionary basis by such Person shall be their fair market value on the most recent practicable date or their cost. This general rule is subject to the following provisos: (1)

Parallel Fund Carinthia Group 1, L.P. will be exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. A separate parallel fund, Carinthia Group 2, L.P., is being established which will rely upon another exemption; it will have an identical investment program, the same general partner and substantially identical Limited Partnership Agreement with that of Carinthia Group 1, L.P. Without altering the economic rights and obligations of the partners, the general partner, in its reasonable discretion, may at any time cause a limited partner to exchange its interest in Carinthia Group 1, L.P. for an economically equivalent interest in the parallel fund, Carinthia Group 2, L.P. Investor Representations I reaffirm the representations concerning me made in the Investor Questionnaire, all of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. I further represent and warrant as follows: (a) I have received and read the Private Placement Memorandum, dated [____________], including the Limited Partnership Agreement and Exhibits thereto (the "Memorandum"), covering the sale of the Interests (the ”Offering”) and hereby acknowledge that I am not acting on the basis of any representations and warranties other than those contained in the Memorandum. I hereby acknowledge that all matters relating to the Memorandum have been explained to me to my satisfaction and approval, and that I understand the speculative nature and the risks involved in the proposed investment. Nothing set forth in the Limited Partnership Agreement or the terms of the Offering constitutes a guaranty of repayment of my capital contribution or can be considered an agreement of any kind to redeem my investment under any circumstances. My investment is totally at risk. (b) I, either alone or together with my advisors, have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that I am capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Interest and of protecting my interests in connection therewith. I understand that no federal or state or other government agency has passed upon the Interest or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of this investment. (c) I have been furnished with all information which I deem necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of purchasing the Interest and have had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the Interest and the Partnership from the General Partner and the Partnership and all questions posed have been answered to my satisfaction. I have been given the opportunity to visit the Mount Snow ski resort and obtain any additional information I deem necessary to verify the accuracy of any information obtained concerning the Interest and the Partnership. (d) I agree to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Memorandum and to perform any obligations therein imposed on a purchaser with respect to an Interest purchased as a result thereof, and I acknowledge that the Partnership will be relying on the agreements and information as provided by me in determining my qualifications to invest in the Partnership. (e)

I am (check the box that applies): (i) A resident of, and living in the United States at the time of sale and therefore Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), shall apply (“Regulation D Investor”); or

C-2

(ii) Not resident in the United States at this time. I will not be a resident at the time of sale, and therefore Regulation S of the Securities Act shall apply (“Regulation S Investor”). (f) For Regulation D Investors only: I am an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act). (g) For Regulation S Investors only: I am not a "U.S. person" (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) and am not acquiring the Interest for the account or benefit of any U.S. person. I was not physically present in the United States (i) when this Subscription Agreement and other offering materials were received from the Partnership or any person acting on its behalf, or (ii) when I execute the Subscription Agreement, the Partnership Agreement and any other materials executed by me in connection with my purchase of the Interest. I agree that, in addition to any other limitations set forth herein or in the Partnership Agreement, I (i) shall not resell the Interest except in accordance with Regulation S, pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or pursuant to valid exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and (ii) shall not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to such Interest unless in compliance with the Securities Act. I understand that the Partnership shall refuse to register any transfer of the Interest not made in accordance with this Subscription Agreement and the Partnership Agreement. If I act in violation of these restrictions, I shall be solely responsible for any liability resulting from such violation. I understand that any certificate or other document evidencing an Interest shall be endorsed with a legend substantially to such effect. (h) The Partnership has made all documents pertaining to this investment available to me and, if I so requested, to my attorney and/or accountant. I have relied solely upon the Memorandum presented by the Partnership, the Exhibits to the Memorandum, and such independent investigations as made by me in making a decision to purchase the Interest subscribed for herein. I have received all information and data that I believe to be necessary in order to reach an informed decision as to the advisability of an investment in the Interest. To the extent that I have deemed it appropriate to do so, I have retained, and relied upon, appropriate professional advice regarding the tax, legal, immigration and financial merits and consequences of an investment in the Interest. (i) I am investing in my own name and I am acquiring the Interest for my own account, for investment only and not with a view to or in connection with any resale or distribution of the Interest. I have no contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or pledge the Interest.

Richard Deutsch, Principal Peak Resorts Mount Snow Resort West Dover, VT 05356 Re: West Lake snowmaking water

project

Dear Dick: The Board of Directors of the Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation, the economic development agency for the Windham region, has discussed the Mount Snow West Lake project and is in strong support. We recognize that this project is critical for the success of Mount Snow, and that Mount Snow's success is critical for the Deerfield Valley and Southern Vermont. The West Lake snowmaking project will allow Mount Snow to grow and increase snowmaking to 100% of the mountain, while allowing the resort to meet current regulatory standards in terms of water

withdrawal. The proposal is innovative and thoughtful offering the prospect of outcomes that satisfy key stakeholders including Mount Snow and its need to be competitive in the industry, the environmental concerns, and the long-term stability, economic and environmental, of this beautiful area.

(b) The Borrower is not in violation or default of any term of its organizational documents.

All action on the part of the Borrower, its officers, managers and members necessary for the authorization of this Agreement and the Note and the performance of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder and thereunder has been taken. This Agreement and the Note have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitute valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights and (b) as limited by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law) that restrict the availability of equitable remedies. 2.3 Liabilities.

All agreements, understandings, arrangements or other commitments to which the Borrower is a party (collectively, “Contracts”) are in all material respects valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms. The Borrower is not in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any obligation, covenant or condition contained therein, and, to the Borrower's knowledge, no event has occurred which with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default thereunder by the Borrower, except in either case where such default would not and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or collectively, a material adverse effect on the Borrower. The execution, delivery, and performance by the

3

Borrower of this Agreement and the Note will not, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, result in any such violation, or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any Contract, except in either case where such default would not and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or collectively, a material adverse effect on the Borrower. 2.5 Obligations to Related Parties.

Neither the Borrower nor, to the Borrower's knowledge, any other party thereto is in material default under any of said leases, nor is the Borrower aware of any event that has occurred which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would give rise to a material default thereunder. (b) Personal Property.

Compliance with Laws; Authorizations.

The actual amount due and owing from time to time under this Non-Revolving Credit Note (“Note”) shall be evidenced by Lender's records of receipts and disbursements, which shall be prima facie evidence of such amount, absent manifest error. 1. Incorporation of the Loan Agreement. Each Lender and the Borrower are parties to that certain Loan Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of [___________], 2014. The terms and conditions of the Agreement are hereby incorporated in this Note by reference and the Lender and the Borrower are entitled to all rights and benefits of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement. 2.

Payment of Principal and Interest.

(a) This Note shall automatically mature and be due and payable in full, together with any interest accrued but unpaid thereon, on the fifth anniversary date of the first Advance (“First Advance Date”) under this Note (the “Maturity Date”) provided, however, the Borrower may upon written consent of the Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, extend the Maturity Date for a period of up to an additional two (2) years (the “Extension Option”). If the Borrower exercises the Extension Option, then the term “Maturity Date” shall include the Extension Option. It is the Borrower's intention to repay the Principal Sum, together with any interest accrued but unpaid thereto, on the Maturity Date with the proceeds of long-term financing or from other available sources. (b) Interest shall accrue on the unpaid Principal Sum on a simple interest basis at a fixed rate of 1.0% per annum commencing on the First Advance Date until the Maturity Date. In the event Borrower exercises the Extension Option, interest shall

accrue on the unpaid Principal Sum on a simple interest basis as follows: (i) at a fixed rate of 7.0% per annum commencing on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the First Advance Date; and (ii) a fixed rate of 10.0% per annum commencing on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the First Advance Date until the Maturity Date. Such interest will not be compounded or capitalized.

Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days commencing on the First Advance Date. (c) All sums payable hereunder shall be payable in lawful money of the United States and shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then in payment of the Principal Sum. (d) Without in any way limiting Lender's rights and remedies hereunder and under the Note, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, Advances and other obligations hereunder shall bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum (the “Default Interest Rate”) or such lesser rate permitted by applicable law, if the Default Interest Rate would violate applicable law. This clause (d) shall not be given effect to the extent that the application of the Default Interest Rate would in any way alter or amend the calculations of the Business Plan included in the Private Placement Memorandum. 3. Place of Payment. The Principal Sum together with and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be payable at the Lender's principal executive offices at [______________], or at such other place as the Lender, from time to time, may designate in writing. 4. Prepayment. The Borrower shall be prohibited from prepaying the Principal Sum, in whole or in part, if such prepayment would jeopardize any of the Lender’s limited partners’ capacity to be admitted to the United States of America as unconditional lawful permanent residents with their spouses and unmarried, minor children pursuant to 8 U.S.C.§ 1153 (b)(5)(A) - (D), INA § 203 (b)(5)(A) - (D); the Departments of Commerce, Justice and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 1993, Pub.

The rights and remedies granted or available to the Lender with respect to the obligations of the Borrower evidenced by this Note are set forth in the Agreement, and the Lender may exercise the respective rights, options, and remedies provided for in the Agreement, or otherwise available at law or in equity, all in accordance with their respective terms. All rights and remedies granted or available to

2

the Lender by this Note and the Agreement shall be deemed concurrent and cumulative, and not exclusive of any rights or remedies available at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such rights and remedies may be exercised if the exercise of such rights or remedies would jeopardize any of the Lender’s limited partners' capacity to be admitted to the United States of America as unconditional lawful permanent residents with their spouses and unmarried, minor children pursuant to 8 U.S.C.§ 1153 (b)(5)(A) (D), INA § 203 (b)(5)(A)-(D); the Departments of Commerce, Justice and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 1993, Pub.

Severability. If any provision of this Note is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Note shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed liberally in favor of the Lender in order to effectuate the purposes and intent of this Note. 9. Governing Law. This instrument shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Vermont, excluding its conflicts of laws rules.

EXHIBIT B FORM OF GUARANTY OF COLLECTION For good and valuable consideration, Peak Resorts, Inc. a corporation with its registered office in St Louis Missouri, and with a mailing address of 17409 Hidden Valley Drive, Wildwood, Missouri 63025 (the “Guarantor of Collection”), absolutely and unconditionally guarantees and promises to pay to Carinthia Group 1 L.P, a Vermont limited liability company with a principal place of business in West Dover, Vermont and Carinthia Group 2, L.P., a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Vermont (“Carinthia 2”) (Carinthia 1 and Carinthia 2 each collectively referred to as a “Lender” and collectively as the “Lender”), or its order, on demand, in legal tender of the United States of America, the Indebtedness (as that term is defined below) of its affiliate West Lake Water Project LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Vermont, and with a mailing address of [_____________] (the “Borrower”), owed to the Lender on the terms and conditions set forth in this Guaranty. Under this Guaranty, the liability of the Guarantor is limited to the Indebtedness and the obligations of the Guarantor are continuing until the Indebtedness is fully paid and satisfied and all loan facilities comprising the Indebtedness are expired or terminated. 1. Defined Terms. The following words shall have the following meanings when used in this Guaranty: (a) “Guaranty” shall mean this Guaranty of Collection made by the Guarantor for the benefit of the Lender. (b) “Indebtedness” shall mean all of the Borrower's liabilities, obligations, debts, and indebtedness to the Lender that are incurred in connection with a loan in the maximum principal amount of $30,000,000 pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement among each Lender and the Borrower of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”) and evidenced by that certain promissory note payable to the Lender dated of even date herewith (the “Note”), or arising out of the various Related Documents as that term is defined below. (c) “Related Documents” shall mean and include without limitation any other instruments, agreements and documents executed by the Borrower at the Lender's request contemporaneously hereof in connection with the Loan Agreement and the Note. 2. Guaranty. The Guarantor guarantees to the Lender full and prompt collection of up to the principal amount due under the Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. This Guaranty is a guaranty of collection only, and not a guaranty of payment. As such, the Lender in accepting this Guaranty acknowledges that upon (i) the Borrower’s failure to make a payment when the same shall be due and owing to the Lender in respect of the Indebtedness and (ii) lawful acceleration of the Indebtedness, the Lender will (a) resort first directly against the Borrower and fully exhaust any and all legal remedies existing or available and shall have failed to collect the full amount of the

Indebtedness before proceeding against Guarantor; and (b) give notice of the terms, time, and place of any public or private sale of collateral held, if any, by the Lender and comply with any other applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in Vermont, or any other applicable law. This Guaranty will take effect when received by the Lender without the necessity of any acceptance by the Lender, or any notice to the Guarantor or to the Borrower, and will continue in full force until all Indebtedness incurred or contracted before receipt by the Lender of any notice of revocation shall have been fully and finally paid and satisfied and all other obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall have been performed in full. Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall provide to [____________], as agent of the limited partners of the Lender (the “Agent”), such quarterly and annual financial statements and operational reports as it may provide to its principal lender as promptly as reasonably practicable following the preparation thereof. 3. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender, at the time of execution of this Guaranty and as of the time of each drawing under or other utilization of the loan as set forth and more particularly detailed in the Loan Agreement, that to the best of its knowledge (a) no representations or agreements of any kind have been made to the Guarantor which would limit or qualify in any way the terms of this Guaranty; (b) the execution by Guarantor of the Guaranty and the incurring of liability and indebtedness to the Lender does not and will not contravene any provision contained in any other loan or credit agreement or borrowing instrument or contract to which the Guarantor is a party; (c) the Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor, and constitutes valid and binding obligations of the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms; and (d) this Guaranty constitutes an independent obligation of the Guarantor, notwithstanding its ownership interest in the Borrower. 4. Governing Law. This Guaranty is conclusively deemed to be made under and for all purposes to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Vermont. In relation to any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty, the Guarantor submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Vermont, as the Lender may elect, and to the extent permitted by law, waives any objection to such legal action or proceedings in such courts on the grounds of venue or on the grounds that such legal action or proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. These submissions are made for the benefit of the Lender and shall not affect the right of the Lender to take legal action or proceedings in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of legal action or proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction preclude the Lender from taking legal action or proceedings in any other court of competent jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not). The Lender and the Guarantor hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either the Lender or the Guarantor against the other. 5. Miscellaneous. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of this Guaranty:

2

(a) Amendments. This Guaranty constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set forth in this Guaranty. No alteration of or amendment to this Guaranty shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by the party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or amendment. (b) Attorneys' Fees; Expenses. The Guarantor agrees to pay upon demand the Lender's reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and the Lender's reasonable legal expenses, incurred in connection with the successful enforcement of this Guaranty. The Guarantor also shall pay all court costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the court in connection with the successful enforcement of this Guaranty. (c) Notices. All notices required to be given by either party to the other under this Guaranty shall be in writing and shall be effective when actually delivered or one (1) business day after being deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier with receipt confirmed, or three (3) business days after being deposited in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid with return receipt requested, addressed to the party to whom the notice is to be given at the address shown above or to such other addresses as either party may designate to the other in writing. (d) Interpretation. Caption headings in this Guaranty are for convenience purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions of this Guaranty. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Guaranty to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances, and all provisions of this Guaranty in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable. (e) Waiver. The Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Guaranty unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by the Lender. No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by the Lender of a provision of this Guaranty shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of the Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Guaranty. No prior waiver by the Lender, nor any course of dealing between the Lender and the Guarantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of the Lender's rights or of any of the Guarantor's obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of the Lender is required under this Guaranty, the granting of such consent by the Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Lender. Any amendment or waiver by the Lender of any provision of this Guaranty shall require the consent of limited partners in the Lender that own not less than a majority of the limited partnership interests then outstanding. (f) Lender's Records. Every certificate issued under the hand of an officer of the Lender purporting to show the amount at any particular time due and payable to the Lender, and covered by this Guaranty, shall be received as conclusive evidence as against

3

the Guarantor that such amount is at such time so due and payable to the Lender and is covered hereby. (g) Change. The Guarantor agrees that no change or changes in the name or names of the Borrower or Guarantor, no change or changes in the objects, capital or enabling documents of the Borrower or the amalgamation of the Borrower with any other entity, and no other change or changes of any kind whatsoever shall in any way affect the liability of the Guarantor, either with respect to transactions occurring before or after any such change or changes, and the Lender shall not be obliged to inquire into powers of the Borrower, its officers, directors or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and monies, advances, renewals or credits in fact borrowed or obtained by the Borrower from the Lender and all liabilities incurred by the Borrower from the Lender in professed exercise of such powers shall be deemed to form part of the Indebtedness hereby guaranteed notwithstanding that such borrowing, obtaining of monies, advances, renewals or credits, or incurring of such liabilities shall be in excess of the powers of the Borrower, or its officers, directors or agents, or be in any way irregular, defective or informal. (h) Successors and Assigns. The Guarantor may not delegate any of its obligations hereunder. The provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon any successors of the Guarantor. (i) Sharing of Payments. By its acceptance of this Guaranty, each Lender agrees to share in all payments made under this Guaranty in accordance with its Proportionate Interest set forth on Schedule 1 of the Note.

The Borrower is not in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any obligation, covenant or condition contained therein, and, to the Borrower's knowledge, no event has occurred which with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default thereunder by the Borrower, except in either case where such default would not and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or collectively, a material adverse effect on the Borrower. The execution, delivery, and performance by the

3

Borrower of this Agreement and the Note will not, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, result in any such violation, or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any Contract, except in either case where such default would not and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or collectively, a material adverse effect on the Borrower. 2.5 Obligations to Related Parties.

Neither the Borrower nor, to the Borrower's knowledge, any other party thereto is in material default under any of said leases, nor is the Borrower aware of any event that has occurred which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would give rise to a material default thereunder.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CARINTHIA SKI LODGE LLC, a Vermont limited liability company with a principal place of business at [_______________] (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to Carinthia Group 1, L.P., a Vermont limited partnership with a principal place of business at [________________] and Carinthia Group 2, L.P., a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Vermont (“Carinthia 2”) with a principal place of business at [________________] (Carinthia 1 and Carinthia 2 each collectively referred to as a “Lender” and collectively as the “Lender”), in accordance with each Lender’s proportionate interest set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, or order, the principal sum of $22,000,000 or such lesser amount as shall have been advanced and remain outstanding under the terms of the Agreement defined below (the “Principal Sum”), together with accrued interest thereon, in the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth below. The actual amount due and owing from time to time under this Non-Revolving Credit Note (“Note”) shall be evidenced by Lender's records of receipts and disbursements, which shall be prima facie evidence of such amount, absent manifest error. 1. Incorporation of the Loan Agreement. Each Lender and the Borrower are parties to that certain Loan Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of [___________], 2014. The terms and conditions of the Agreement are hereby incorporated in this Note by reference and the Lender and the Borrower are entitled to all rights and benefits of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement. 2.

Payment of Principal and Interest.

(a) This Note shall automatically mature and be due and payable in full, together with any interest accrued but unpaid thereon, on the fifth anniversary date of the first Advance (“First Advance Date”) under this Note (the “Maturity Date”) provided, however, the Borrower may upon written consent of the Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, extend the Maturity Date for a period of up to an additional two (2) years (the “Extension Option”). If the Borrower exercises the Extension Option, then the term “Maturity Date” shall include the Extension Option. It is the Borrower's intention to repay the Principal Sum, together with any interest accrued but unpaid thereto, on the Maturity Date with the proceeds of long-term financing or from other available sources. (b) Interest shall accrue on the unpaid Principal Sum on a simple interest basis at a fixed rate of 1.0% per annum commencing on the First Advance Date until the Maturity Date. In the event Borrower exercises the Extension Option, interest shall

Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days commencing on the First Advance Date. (c) All sums payable hereunder shall be payable in lawful money of the United States and shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then in payment of the Principal Sum. (d) Without in any way limiting Lender's rights and remedies hereunder and under the Note, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, Advances and other obligations hereunder shall bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum (the “Default Interest Rate”) or such lesser rate permitted by applicable law, if the Default Interest Rate would violate applicable law. This clause (d) shall not be given effect to the extent that the application of the Default Interest Rate would in any way alter or amend the calculations of the Business Plan included in the Private Placement Memorandum. 3. Place of Payment. The Principal Sum together with and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be payable at the Lender's principal executive offices at [______________], or at such other place as the Lender, from time to time, may designate in writing. 4. Prepayment.

All rights and remedies granted or available to

2

the Lender by this Note and the Agreement shall be deemed concurrent and cumulative, and not exclusive of any rights or remedies available at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such rights and remedies may be exercised if the exercise of such rights or remedies would jeopardize any of the Lender’s limited partners' capacity to be admitted to the United States of America as unconditional lawful permanent residents with their spouses and unmarried, minor children pursuant to 8 U.S.C.§ 1153 (b)(5)(A) (D), INA § 203 (b)(5)(A)-(D); the Departments of Commerce, Justice and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 1993, Pub.

Severability. If any provision of this Note is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Note shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed liberally in favor of the Lender in order to effectuate the purposes and intent of this Note. 9. Governing Law. This instrument shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Vermont, excluding its conflicts of laws rules.

EXHIBIT B FORM OF GUARANTY OF COLLECTION For good and valuable consideration, Peak Resorts, Inc. a corporation with its registered office in St Louis Missouri, and with a mailing address of 17409 Hidden Valley Drive, Wildwood, Missouri 63025 (the “Guarantor of Collection”), absolutely and unconditionally guarantees and promises to pay to Carinthia Group 1 L.P, a Vermont limited liability company with a principal place of business in West Dover, Vermont and Carinthia Group 2, L.P., a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Vermont (“Carinthia 2”) (Carinthia 1 and Carinthia 2 each collectively referred to as a “Lender” and collectively as the “Lender”), or its order, on demand, in legal tender of the United States of America, the Indebtedness (as that term is defined below) of its affiliate Carinthia Ski Lodge LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Vermont, and with a mailing address of [_____________] (the “Borrower”), owed to the Lender on the terms and conditions set forth in this Guaranty. Under this Guaranty, the liability of the Guarantor is limited to the Indebtedness and the obligations of the Guarantor are continuing until the Indebtedness is fully paid and satisfied and all loan facilities comprising the Indebtedness are expired or terminated. 1. Defined Terms. The following words shall have the following meanings when used in this Guaranty: (a) “Guaranty” shall mean this Guaranty of Collection made by the Guarantor for the benefit of the Lender. (b) “Indebtedness” shall mean all of the Borrower's liabilities, obligations, debts, and indebtedness to the Lender that are incurred in connection with a loan in the maximum principal amount of $22,000,000 pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement among each Lender and the Borrower of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”) and evidenced by that certain promissory note payable to the Lender dated of even date herewith (the “Note”), or arising out of the various Related Documents as that term is defined below. (c) “Related Documents” shall mean and include without limitation any other instruments, agreements and documents executed by the Borrower at the Lender's request contemporaneously hereof in connection with the Loan Agreement and the Note. 2. Guaranty. The Guarantor guarantees to the Lender full and prompt collection of up to the principal amount due under the Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. This Guaranty is a guaranty of collection only, and not a guaranty of payment. As such, the Lender in accepting this Guaranty acknowledges that upon (i) the Borrower’s failure to make a payment when the same shall be due and owing to the Lender in respect of the Indebtedness and (ii) lawful acceleration of the Indebtedness, the Lender will (a) resort first directly against the Borrower and fully exhaust any and all legal remedies existing or available and shall have failed to collect the full amount of the

2

Indebtedness before proceeding against Guarantor; and (b) give notice of the terms, time, and place of any public or private sale of collateral held, if any, by the Lender and comply with any other applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in Vermont, or any other applicable law. This Guaranty will take effect when received by the Lender without the necessity of any acceptance by the Lender, or any notice to the Guarantor or to the Borrower, and will continue in full force until all Indebtedness incurred or contracted before receipt by the Lender of any notice of revocation shall have been fully and finally paid and satisfied and all other obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall have been performed in full. Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall provide to [____________], as agent of the limited partners of the Lender (the “Agent”), such quarterly and annual financial statements and operational reports as it may provide to its principal lender as promptly as reasonably practicable following the preparation thereof. 3. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender, at the time of execution of this Guaranty and as of the time of each drawing under or other utilization of the loan as set forth and more particularly detailed in the Loan Agreement, that to the best of its knowledge (a) no representations or agreements of any kind have been made to the Guarantor which would limit or qualify in any way the terms of this Guaranty; (b) the execution by Guarantor of the Guaranty and the incurring of liability and indebtedness to the Lender does not and will not contravene any provision contained in any other loan or credit agreement or borrowing instrument or contract to which the Guarantor is a party; (c) the Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor, and constitutes valid and binding obligations of the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms; and (d) this Guaranty constitutes an independent obligation of the Guarantor, notwithstanding its ownership interest in the Borrower. 4. Governing Law. This Guaranty is conclusively deemed to be made under and for all purposes to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Vermont. In relation to any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty, the Guarantor submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Vermont, as the Lender may elect, and to the extent permitted by law, waives any objection to such legal action or proceedings in such courts on the grounds of venue or on the grounds that such legal action or proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. These submissions are made for the benefit of the Lender and shall not affect the right of the Lender to take legal action or proceedings in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of legal action or proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction preclude the Lender from taking legal action or proceedings in any other court of competent jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not). The Lender and the Guarantor hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either the Lender or the Guarantor against the other. 5. Miscellaneous.

May 2, 2014 Douglas Hauer | Member Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. One Financial Center, Boston, MA 02111 To Whom This May Concern: I submit this letter as a statement of confirmation on the results of the job impact analysis (of November 2012) as relates to the proposed business plan (October 2012, Rapid USA Visa, Inc.) for improvements to Mt. Snow Resort. Specifically, the job impacts were measured for two development elements, one (the Carinthia Ski Lodge, providing skier services) which would complete within a 2 year interval, and the second within 3 years (the West Lake Snow making reservoir). On-site development labor for the ski lodge are excluded from the Vermont job impacts due to the limited duration of that project. Both project elements will require limited sourcing of goods and services from the surrounding Northeast regional economy as well as from other U.S. vendors. The job impacts for the development phase are as follows: Carinthia Ski Lodge

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Overview: The purpose of this assessment was to measure the job generating effects from two proposed projects (the Carinthia Group 1 projects) at Mount Snow Ski Resort in southern Vermont. Specifically, the expansion proposal relates to building an additional ski lodge (Carinthia Lodge, and a reservoir project (West Lake) for expanded snow making capabilities. Funding for the proposed expansion is to be in the form of $52 million from foreign investors through the USCIS EB-5 Visa Program, and additional investment of $14 million from the resort owners, Mount Snow, Ltd. Methodology: Four basic steps were used to develop this assessment: 1. Analyze the Business Plan data – for incremental annual operations (visitor activity and spending) in each of the first two years associated with the new lodge, as well as for the initial Development Phase Capital Expenditure 2. Conduct multiplier analysis - relevant aspects of the business plan for each phase are applied to a geographically appropriate multi-region IMPLAN economic impact model (vintage 2010) 3. Identify total impacts for each of the first two years of operation on the 4county southern Vermont study region1, with spillover job impacts for rest of Vermont; and the total jobs during the development phase for the Vermont economy, the rest of the Northeast regional economy, and the balance of the U.S. economy. 4. Identify non-direct2 job impacts for the development phase for the relevant study region (state of Vermont) for the remaining Northeast regional economy3, and for the balance of the U.S. economy.

Comprised of Windham, Windsor, Rutland, and Bennington counties. Non-direct is defined as the set of impacts that result from “ indirect” and “induced” transactions in the study region initiated by the project activity. 3 The Northeast region apart from Vermont includes Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts 1 2

Methodology & Assumptions

METHODOLOGY & ASSUMPTIONS Introduction Mount Snow, Ltd. retained Economic Development Research Group, Inc. (EDR Group) of Boston, Massachusetts to develop the (jobs) impact analysis of its proposed development of a new skier services building (the Carinthia lodge) and snowmaking reservoir (West Lake) for the Mount Snow Resort in West Dover, Vermont. Key staff of EDR Group have earned a national reputation for conducting economic impact analyses using various economic impact analysis data sets and models (REMI and IMPLAN models, RIMS data) with over 56 staff years of experience among its three lead staff. (For more about EDR Group refer to the end of the report).

Methodology The following sections describe the jobs impact estimation approach used in conjunction with information from the Carinthia Group Projects Business Plan to provide job impact counts that conform to the EB-5 investment program criteria.

Jobs Multiplier Analysis using the IMPLAN Model Both USCIS and the chief economist of the Department of Homeland Security have from time to time acknowledged familiarity and suitability of several methodologies for estimating the job impacts associated with EB-5 project proposals. Given the more recent interpretation of regulations which have emphasized consideration of indirect job impacts created beyond the economic boundary of the regional center (in this case the state of Vermont), the IMPLAN software model (MIG, Stillwater, MN) offers advantages (relative to other methods) due to its multi-region impact analysis capabilities (added in early 2010) while remaining a cost-effective system to use, with ample customer support and a proven track-record. As such this analysis was duly developed using the IMPLAN impact software (the internally calculated Output multiplier data, defined as Type SAM4, is derived from region-specific data for 2010). SAM stands for social accounting matrix and the concept reflects a multiplier that accounts for indirect and induced transactions as well as monetary transfers between institutions (consisting predominantly of income stratified households and state/local/Federal government entities). The reference to Output in describing the multiplier makes an important distinction to RIMSII data.

Methodology & Assumptions

Those analysis model for the eventual additional visitor operations was structured around the following 2-region: a combined 4-county southern Vermont territory, comprised of Windsor (where West Dover is), Windham, Bennington and Rutland counties, the rest of Vermont region. For the development phase analysis for sourcing construction supplies, services and equipment, a 3-region model was configured to represent the Vermont economy, the rest of the Northeast region5, and the rest of U.S. region. The IMPLAN multi-regional model starts with the direct assignment of (development or operations-related) spending stimulus posed to the specific study, and for budget expenditures that are either not procured or entirely procured from the study area (whether certain manufactured items or labor supply), we assign the respective amounts to the other relevant regions. The IMPLAN model’s trade-flow logic (based upon county-to-county historical $ flows for the entire U.S) then creates an allocation of subsequent spillover multiplier effects to all regions under consideration. The pattern of sourcing is a balance between proximity for trading, and scale of the trading partner. For both phases, data from the business plan (in 2012$ basis) were mapped to corresponding industry (supplying) sectors (IMPLAN flexibly allows for the user to introduce the project data in the basis they were developed, and within the analysis IMPLAN deflates to 2010$ while solving, and then re-scales results upon viewing results). The following caveats are made in moving from the business plan to the IMPLAN model runs: aspects of visitor spending (retail purchases on resort) were margined within IMPLAN, for aspects of the development budget IMPLAN’s regionally-estimated local purchase coefficient by industry were relied upon to change line item expenditures into some percent of local sales. For the Carinthia Lodge project 79 percent of the budget is sourced from Vermont, and for the West Reservoir project it is 80 percent from Vermont, with 10 percent of budget sourced from surrounding northeast states, and the remaining 10 percent from rest of U.S. for specialized equipment6. What remains after the fulfillment by local sales is eligible for spill-over fulfillment in the surrounding economies.

The latter describes the area’s response when $1 of final demand for specific commodities, or industrial product emerges, whereas IMPLAN describes he response when $1 of sales emerges within the region for a specific commodity, or industrial product. 5 The Northeast region apart from Vermont includes Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut,, and Massachusetts 6 From Indiana and Colorado according to Mt. Snow Resort engineers.

Methodology & Assumptions

Isolating the Non-direct Job Impacts for the Development Phase. Pursuant to a USCIS memorandum dated December 11, 2009, USCIS has interpreted that the full time employment requirement must exclude jobs that are intermittent, seasonal or transient in nature. The business plan indicates whether there are any direct employees of the newly formed Commercial enterprise for the development phase. The IMPLAN model will identify the region-specific job impacts related to the construction activities. In input-output multiplier analysis, the direct construction sector (and other supplying sectors for the budget) effects (sales, jobs) are not the same concept of “direct” as intended in the USCIS regulation. However this analysis does refrain from counting construction-sector job impact in the first-round of input-output effect when the development phase on a project is less than two years.

Visitor-spending Related Impacts

VISITOR-SPENDING RELATED IMPACTS The incremental, annual visitor-spending, for YR1 and YR2 of the completed Carinthia Lodge, is analogous to gauging annual operations of the new visitorserving facility. To develop the job impacts of this phase of the proposal we examine how much extra visitor spending is expected at Mount Snow, and what is that money spent on. Once we answer these questions using information in (behind) the business plan we introduce this profile of spending into the Southern VT region of the IMPLAN modeling system.

Visitor-spending the First Two Years The amount of extra visitor-spending to the resort is shown (with its allocation and IMPLAN sector assignment) in Exhibit 2-1. Exhibit 2-1: Additional Visitor-spending at Mount Snow Region: Southern Vermont centered on Windsor Co. IMPLAN Sector Description 413 - Eating & drinking establishmentsMeals & Beverages 329- Retail General Merchandise Retail & Convenience Store* Ski rental 407 - Recreational Centers Lift passes & Tickets Total added (mil. 2012$) Total added (mil. 2010$)

*These dollar amounts were “margined” within the IMPLAN analysis model.

$4.59

The result (in terms of total employment impacts) of combining these visitorspending amounts with the IMPLAN employment multipliers are shown next in Exhibit 2-2.

DEVELOPMENT-RELATED IMPACTS A similar treatment (as presented in Ch. 2) is followed to estimate the job impacts for the development phase – with two exceptions. First, only the non-direct employment impacts are of consequence. The non-direct employment impacts pertain to any job that is related to the project that is not employed by the EB-5 Commercial Enterprise. Therefore the term “direct” impact within the USCIS regulatory language is different from what “direct” means within the input-output economic multiplier analysis. Since there are no commercial enterprise employees proposed for the development phase, the IMPLAN jobs impacts that result from allocating the development budget over the various supplying industries will all be non-direct jobs. Second, when a project’s development interval is less than two years in duration, the first-round of construction sector jobs are omitted from the job generation results.

Development Phase Expenditure for the Carinthia Ski Lodge Beginning with the Mount Snow Resort business plan, information pertaining to the 1+-year construction schedule and budget is assessed and assigned to industries that provide the goods/service needed, and then we verify (a) the presence of the industry within the Vermont regional center economy, and (b) the scale (or size) of the Vermont industry and whether it can plausibly meet the demand from the project (using the IMPLAN data for the VT regional center 2010). Exhibit 3-1 presents the construction spending detail by year and assignment into an IMPLAN sector for the VT economy. Equipment and fit-up expenditures are treated as being manufactured outside of the VT economy but accessed through VT wholesale distribution channels and earning the 15 percent mark-up in-state. The larger surrounding supplier shed represented by the rest of Northeast region provides a majority of these manufactured items, and the remaining balance from the rest of U.S. region.

Total (non-direct) Job Impacts for the Vermont Regional Center and surrounding Economies For Carinthia Lodge development phase supplying industries (contractors, vendors) that are present in Vermont, the expenditure amounts from Exhibit 3-1 (in 2012$) are converted (within the IMPLAN model) to initial job requirements by sector, and those then are applied to the employment multipliers shown above to give the total job impacts for Vermont, shown next in Exhibit 3-2. None of the jobs estimated in the IMPLAN analysis represent a job employed by the EB-5 Commercial enterprise, therefore all of the impacts from building the Carinthia Lodge represent “non-direct” jobs. However, since this project is expected to take less than two years to complete, the first-round of construction sector jobs are excluded from the results presented.

Construction-related Impacts

As a result of the Carinthia Lodge development activity, there are approximately 133 eligible jobs impacted in YR1 for Vermont region, and 260 in YR2. Another 32 jobs are contributed in YR1 and 63 additional for YR2 from the rest of the Northeast region, and from the remainder of the U.S. supplier bases. These nondirect jobs are created ‘extra-regional to Vermont’ as a result of cycles of supplier transactions to support the broader VT economy as it is stimulated downstream of the project).

Development Phase Expenditure for the West Lake Reservoir project Beginning with the Mount Snow Resort business plan, information pertaining to the 2+-year construction schedule and budget is assessed and assigned to industries that provide the goods/service needed, and then we verify with information from Mount Snow engineers where specialized equipment will be sourced from. Exhibit 3-3 presents the construction spending detail by year and assignment into an IMPLAN sector for the VT economy, and the rest of U.S. region. Equipment expenditures for pump houses are not manufactured in VT will be accessed through VT wholesale distribution channels and earning the 15 percent mark-up in-state. The larger surrounding supplier shed represented by the rest of U.S. region (in particular Colorado and Indiana) provides a majority of these manufactured items.

Construction-related Impacts

Total (non-direct) Job Impacts for the Vermont Regional Center and surrounding Economies For West Lake Reservoir development phase supplying industries (contractors, vendors) that are present in Vermont, the expenditure amounts from Exhibit 3-3 (in 2012$) are converted (within the IMPLAN model) to initial job requirements by sector, and those then are applied to the employment multipliers shown above to give the total job impacts for Vermont, shown next in Exhibit 3-4. None of the jobs estimated in the IMPLAN analysis represent a job employed by the EB-5 Commercial enterprise, therefore all of the impacts from building the snowmaking reservoir represent “non-direct” jobs.

CONCLUSIONS The proposed Carinthia Ski Lodge and the West Lake snowmaking Reservoir projects is expected to attract additional visitors to the Mount Snow resort and the surrounding region. An examination of the first two years operating the new facilities (vis a vis visitor-spending levels on-resort) as well as the 2-3 year development phases will generate significant employment impacts – for the 4county southern Vermont region as a result of visitor-spending, and for the state as a whole during the construction interval.

The Resort shall be subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as Ground Lessor may reasonably impose in connection with the health, welfare and safety of the residents and visitors to the Resort, in order to preserve and protect the natural beauty of the Resort, and in connection with the operation by Ground Lessor of the recreational aspects of the Resort, including without limitation ski and snowboarding trails other accommodations and other amenities. 6.

Title and Condition. The Premises is demised and let subject to the rights of the Ground Lessor and the state of the title thereof as of the commencement of this Lease, to any state of facts which an accurate survey or physical inspection thereof might show, and to all zoning regulations, 10 V.S.A. Chapter 151 (Act 250) permits, restrictions, easements, rules and ordinances and other laws and regulations now in effect or hereafter adopted by any governmental authority having jurisdiction and to any existing encumbrances, if any, specifically described in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein (“Encumbrances”). Ground Lessor warrants to Ground Lessee, to Ground Lessor's knowledge, upon which warranty the Ground Lessee relies, that, other than as expressly provided herein, at the time of the execution of this Lease, there are no encumbrances upon title to the Premises that would materially interfere with Ground Lessee’s quiet use and enjoyment thereof. 8. Compliance with Laws and Insurance Requirements; Permits; Utilities. 4

A. Ground Lessee will not do nor permit any act or use which is contrary to any Legal Requirement or insurance requirement set forth in this Lease, or which constitutes a public or private nuisance or waste. Ground Lessee shall not do nor permit any action or use of the Premises that would interfere with or compete with Ground Lessor’s business or operations. B. Ground Lessee shall obtain and maintain all permits and approvals necessary for the use and operation of the Premises, including all Improvements thereon. C. Ground Lessee shall pay all charges for gas, electricity, water, sewer service and other utilities used in the Premises and Improvements thereon during the Term of this Lease, all such utilities to be separately metered and to be obtained by Ground Lessee from the applicable utility company. Ground Lessee also shall be solely responsible for the payment of any connection, tap, hookup or other fee(s) imposed by any governmental authorities or by any utility company to extend, connect or continue utility service to the Premises. 9. Term. Subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein, Ground Lessee shall have and hold the Premises for a term commencing on the Commencement Date and expiring at midnight on the anniversary of the fiftieth (50th ) calendar year following the Commencement Date unless terminated sooner as hereinafter provided (the “Term”). Upon no less than ninety (90) days written notice prior to Ground Lessor, and no greater than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the original term hereof, Ground Lessee shall have the one time option to extend the original term of this Lease by forty-nine (49) years (the “Extended Term”). In the event Ground Lessee exercises its right to extend the Term as provided in this paragraph 7, any reference in this Lease to the “Term”, the “term of this Lease” or any similar expression shall be deemed to include the Extended Term. 10. Rent. Ground Lessee covenants and agrees to pay to Ground Lessor as Rent for the Premises during the Term of this Lease at the rate of $10.00 per annum, subject to Section 33 of this Lease. 11.

Title to any Improvements constructed by Ground Lessee on the Premises after the date of this Lease shall remain the property of Ground Lessee, subject nevertheless to the terms and conditions of this Lease, until the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, subject to any rights of Ground Lessor’s mortgagee, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, all Improvements then located on the Premises shall, with the Premises, be vacated and surrendered by Ground Lessee to the Ground Lessor in good condition and repair (subject to casualty and ordinary wear and tear) and shall become the property of Ground Lessor, and Ground Lessee agrees to execute and deliver to Ground Lessor such quitclaim deeds, bills of sale, 5

assignments or other instruments of conveyance as the Ground Lessor may deem reasonably necessary to evidence such transfer of title to Ground Lessor. 12. Net Lease. This is a “net lease” and Ground Lessor shall not be required to provide any utilities, services or do any acts in connection with the Premises except as specifically provided herein, and the Rent reserved hereunder shall be paid to Ground Lessor without any claims on the part of Ground Lessee for diminution, offset or abatement. Ground Lessee shall pay, as additional rent during the term of this Lease, all real estate taxes, assessments, and other governmental charges and Impositions which may be levied, assessed or shall become liens upon the Premises or any part thereof (or any building or other Improvement now existing or hereafter constructed, made or placed thereon by Ground Lessee). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that Ground Lessor shall elect to supply any of utilities to the Premises, Ground Lessee agrees to purchase the same from Ground Lessor. In the event any of such utilities are not separately metered to the Premises, at Ground Lessor’s election, Ground Lessee shall pay its equitable share thereof based on its usage and Landlord shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to reasonably determine Ground Lessee's equitable share. In lieu of the foregoing, Ground Lessor may, with respect to any utility supplied to the Premises and not separately metered, at its sole option, require Ground Lessee to pay its pro-rata share of such utility, not on the basis of usage but on the basis of square footage, and Landlord shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to reasonably determine Ground Lessee's pro rata share. 13. Liens. Ground Lessee will not directly nor indirectly create or permit to be created or to remain, and will promptly discharge, any lien, encumbrance or charge on or pledge of, the Premises, any Improvements thereon, or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Ground Lessor and of the holder of any mortgage lien on the Resort or Premises. Ground Lessee will not permit any mechanic’s lien or other liens to be placed upon the Premises as a result of any materials or labor ordered by Ground Lessee or any of Ground Lessee’s agents, officers or employees. If any such lien is filed, Ground Lessee shall have such lien released of record or bond over said lien in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Ground Lessor, at its sole cost and expense, and within a reasonable period of time. 14. Maintenance and Repair. Ground Lessee shall at all times during the Term, of this Lease, at its own cost and expense, keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, in first class, safe, working order and operating condition (ordinary wear and tear accepted), the Premises and all Improvements on the Premises and shall prevent waste to the Premises and use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent damage, or injury to the Premises. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Ground Lessee shall make all exterior and interior, structural and nonstructural repairs to the Premises and the Improvements thereon. Ground Lessor shall not be required to make any improvements, repairs, or alterations in or to the Premises during the Term of this Lease. Ground Lessee shall indemnify and save Ground Lessor harmless from and defend Ground Lessor against any and all costs, expenses, claims, losses, damages, fines or penalties, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, because of or due to Ground Lessee’s failure to comply with the foregoing.

15. Construction. A. Ground Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, demolish the Existing Lodge on the Premises and construct a new ski lodge (the "Carinthia Ski Lodge") on the Premises in accordance with the Plans and Specifications (as hereinafter defined). Ground Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the construction of the Carinthia Ski Lodge within five (5) years of the Commencement Date. In the event that (i) Ground Lessee fails to complete the construction of the Carinthia Ski Lodge, subject to reasonable delays caused by any Force Majeure event, within five (5) years of the Commencement Date, or, (ii) in the event that Ground Lessee commences construction but fails thereafter to diligently pursue the completion thereof (subject to delays caused by any Force Majeure event), then Ground Lessor shall have the right to (a) terminate this Lease and exercise any other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or (b) to complete the Carinthia Ski Lodge and to charge the cost of such completion to Ground Lessee, which shall be promptly reimbursed by Ground Lessee within ten (10) days after receipt of an invoice detailing such costs and expenses incurred by Ground Lessor in connection with the completion of construction. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by Ground Lessor, any Improvements constructed at the expense of Ground Lessor under this subsection above shall remain the property of Ground Lessor. B. Ground Lessor also agrees to grant such rights to use any sanitary and storm sewer lines, water, gas, electric, telephone and other utility lines, utility systems and conduits on the Resort Property for the use and operation of the Existing Lodge and the Carinthia Ski Lodge to be hereafter constructed on the Premises on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease and provided that such use shall be at Ground Lessee's sole cost and expense and shall not interfere with Ground Lessor's or other user's use of the foregoing and further provided that Ground Lessee obtains all necessary approvals and permits in connection with such use. Ground Lessor shall cooperate with Ground Lessee to secure any easements, licenses or permits to complete the installation of the utility systems and conduits for the Carinthia Ski Lodge as reasonably required by Ground Lessee. C. Ground Lessee shall not construct or place any structures or objects on the Premises, other than the Carinthia Ski Lodge and related parking, utilities, landscaping, sidewalks, and similar improvements, without Ground Lessor’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. D. All costs connected with the construction, implementation and use of the Lodge Improvements including but not limited to plans, permits, labor, and material shall by borne solely by Ground Lessee. E. Prior to the commencement of construction of the Carinthia Ski Lodge, or any other Improvements, all of the plans and specifications therefore, showing the location thereof, including, without limitation, preliminary development plans and final construction plans, specifications and working drawings, (the "Plans and Specifications") shall be submitted to Ground Lessor, and approved in writing by Ground Lessor. Ground Lessee will 7

deliver to Ground Lessor evidence satisfactory to Lender that all governmental authorities, including, without limitation, development agencies and offices having jurisdiction over the Premises (and whose approval of the Improvements is required) have approved the Plans and Specifications. Any material deviations from the approved Plans and Specifications shall be subject to the prior written approval of Ground Lessor. F. In no event shall the demolition of the Existing Lodge, the construction of the Carinthia Ski Lodge or of any other Improvements to the Premises interfere with the use and operation of the Resort. G. Ground Lessee shall cause the construction of the Carinthia Ski Lodge to be prosecuted with diligence in a good and workmanlike manner, substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and all building, zoning and other applicable governmental laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations, rules, permits and requirements affecting the Premises. Ground Lessee shall, at its own expense, remedy in a manner satisfactory to Ground Lessor, such portions or aspects of the construction of the Carinthia Ski Lodge, or any other Improvements, as Ground Lessor may reasonably determine are not in compliance (in all material respects) with the Plans and Specifications or any applicable governmental laws, ordinances, statutes, rules and regulations. H. Upon completion of construction of the Carinthia Ski Lodge and other Improvements, Ground Lessee shall provide to Ground Lessor a certificate by Ground Lessee's architect, certifying with respect to those matters deemed necessary by Ground Lessor, including a certification of completion of such Improvements in accordance (in all material respects) with the Plans and Specifications. I. Ground Lessee shall provide to Ground Lessor such affidavits, lien waivers, releases and other documentations as may be reasonably requested by Ground Lessor in connection with the construction of the Carinthia Ski Lodge and any other Improvements, confirming payment in full of all contracts, cost and expenses for all work, materials and supplies in connection with the construction of the Carinthia Ski Lodge and any other Improvements and the waiver and release of any and all mechanic's or materialmen's liens in connection with any work performed on the Premises. J. Ground Lessee shall cause its contractors to comply with the insurance requirements set forth in this Lease with respect to the construction of any Improvements. 16. Condemnation. If at any time during the Term of this Lease a substantial portion of the Premises (meaning thereby so much as shall render the Premises to any extent unusable by Ground Lessee, as reasonably determined by Ground Lessee) shall be taken by exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain or by agreement between Ground Lessor and those authorized to exercise such rights (all such proceedings being collectively designated as a “taking in condemnation” or a “taking”), this Lease shall, in the reasonable discretion of Ground Lessor or Ground Lessee terminate and expire on the date of such taking and the rent and other amounts payable to Ground Lessee hereunder shall be apportioned and paid to the date of such taking. Ground Lessee shall have no right to interpose, prosecute or collect a 8

claim against Ground Lessor in any proceedings for taking in condemnation, for the loss of the value of this Lease or improvements made by Ground Lessee to the Premises, provided, however, that Ground Lessee may pursue its own claim (without diminishing Ground Lessor's award as hereinafter described) to recover from the condemning authority, but not from the Ground Lessor, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Ground Lessee in Ground Lessee’s own right on account of any and all damage to Improvements constructed at the sole cost and expense of Ground Lessee, or to its operation by reason of taking in condemnation. If the title to less than a substantial portion of the Premises shall be taken in condemnation so that the operations conducted on the Premises can be continued without material diminution, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Ground Lessee shall restore the Improvements to as near a condition as possible to the condition that existed prior to such taking. Any award for a partial taking shall be vested as set forth in the prior paragraph relating to the total taking in condemnation. The proceeds of any award to Ground Lessee in case of any condemnation shall be held in trust by Ground Lessor and applied and disbursed to Ground Lessee on account of the obligation of Ground Lessee to repair and rebuild the Premises in the event of a condemnation. 17. Insurance and Indemnity. During the Term of this Lease, Ground Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, and for the benefit of the Ground Lessor, shall carry and maintain the following insurance: A. Casualty Insurance. Ground Lessee will keep the Premises, and all Improvements thereon, insured in the name of Ground Lessor and Ground Lessee (as their interests may appear with each as a named insured, additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, to provide each with the best position) against loss or damage by fire, windstorm and other hazards, casualties and contingencies which are covered by what is commonly referred to as "all risk" or “Causes of Loss Special Form” insurance, and such other contingencies, "additional coverage" and types of casualty as Ground Lessor or its lender may require. Unless otherwise specified by Ground Lessor, all insurance required hereunder shall be for 100% of the full replacement cost of the Premises with a deductible amount not to exceed $50,000.00. Each policy of casualty insurance shall (a) provide that any loss shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Ground Lessee which might otherwise result in forfeiture of said insurance, (c) contain a waiver by the insurer of all rights of setoff, counterclaim or deduction against Ground Lessor, (d) include an agreed amount endorsement and a replacement cost endorsement, and (e) include a broad form boiler and machinery endorsement if any fired pressure vessels or piping or machinery of 10 or more horsepower is located on the Land. The insurance required to be carried by Ground Lessee under this Section shall be evidenced by a certificate of insurance (issued on ACORD 28 or equivalent form) from Ground Lessee's insurer, authorized agent or broker. Upon request, Ground Lessee shall name the holder of any mortgage on the Premises pursuant to a standard mortgagee, additional insured or loss payee clause as such holder shall elect with respect to the foregoing property insurance, provided such holder agrees with Ground Lessee in writing to disburse such insurance proceeds to Tenant for, and periodically during the course of, 9

repair and restoration of the Improvements as set forth in this Lease. Any such insurance proceeds not required for the repair and restoration of the Premises shall belong to Ground Lessor. B. Builder's Risk Insurance. During the course of any construction upon the Premises, Ground Lessee shall maintain such builder's risk insurance as may be required by Ground Lessor or its lender. Unless otherwise specified by Ground Lessor, Ground Lessee shall maintain builder's risk insurance against all risks of physical loss, including collapse and transit coverage, for 100% of the full replacement cost of the completed construction, such insurance to be in non reporting form, with a deductible amount not to exceed $50,000.00. Each policy of builder's risk insurance shall (a) provide that any loss shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Ground Lessee which might otherwise result in forfeiture of said insurance, (b) contain a waiver by the insurer of all rights of setoff, counterclaim or deduction against Ground Lessor, (d) contain a "permission to occupy upon completion of work" endorsement, and (e) include such coverage for stored materials and materials in transit as Ground Lessor or its lender may reasonably require. C. Flood Insurance. If the Premises is in an area identified as a flood hazard area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or any other similar entity, Ground Lessee shall maintain such flood insurance as may be required by Ground Lessor or its lender. D. Public Liability Insurance. Ground Lessee shall maintain commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Premises or the Common Areas, such insurance (A) to be on the so called "occurrence" form containing minimum limits per occurrence of $___________ in the aggregate, together with excess and/or umbrella liability in an amount of at least $_______________; (B) to contain a liquor liability endorsement if any part of the Premises is covered by a liquor license; (C) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Ground Lessor in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; (D) to cover at least the following hazards, (1) premises and operations, (2) products and completed operations on an "if any" basis, (3) independent contractors, (4) blanket contractual liability for all written and oral contracts, (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in this Lease to the extent the same is available, and (6) all legal liability imposed upon Ground Lessor and all court costs and attorneys' fee incurred in connection with Ground Lessee's ownership, operation and maintenance of the Improvements on the Premises; ; and (E) to be without any deductible. Ground Lessee shall cause Ground Lessor to be named as an additional insured on all policies of liability insurance maintained by Ground Lessee (including excess liability and umbrella policies) with respect to the Premises. The insurance required to be carried by Ground Lessee under this Section shall be evidence by a certificate of insurance (issued on ACCORD 25 or equivalent form) from Ground Lessee's insurer, authorized agent or broker. E. Other Insurance. Ground Lessee shall maintain such worker's compensation insurance as is required by law from time to time. 10

F. Evidence of Insurance. Ground Lessee shall deliver and keep in Ground Lessor's possession at all times originals of all insurance policies required hereunder and shall deliver renewals of all such policies to Ground Lessor at least ten (10) days prior to any expiration or termination thereof. All insurance maintained by Ground Lessee pursuant to the terms hereof shall be in such forms and with such companies as Ground Lessor may require. In the event that renewals of policies, correctly written, in approved companies and of such kinds and types and for such term and amounts as Ground Lessor may require, are not delivered to Ground Lessor ten (10) days or more before the termination or expiration of the existing policy or policies, Ground Lessee authorizes Ground Lessor to act for it and procure at Ground Lessee's expense the necessary insurance coverage (which may, at Ground Lessor's option, be single interest insurance to protect Ground Lessor's interests) and agrees to keep insurance so written in force until its expiration date of this Lease. G. Insurers and Cancellation. All insurance maintained pursuant to the terms of this Lease shall be issued by insurers of recognized responsibility, which are qualified to do business in the State of Vermont. Each such policy of insurance shall provide that it shall not be cancelled or terminated for any reason or modified or amended in any manner so as to reduce the scope or amount of coverage or the deductible amount except upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Ground Lessor. H. Indemnity. Ground Lessee agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Ground Lessor, its directors, officers, employees, agents and servants, harmless from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) and all damages imposed upon or asserted against the Ground Lessor, as owner of the Premises, including, without limitation, any liabilities, costs and expenses and actual or consequential damages imposed upon or asserted against Ground Lessor, on account of (i) any use, misuse, non-use, condition, maintenance or repair by Ground Lessee of the Premises, (ii) any taxes, and other Impositions which are the obligation of Ground Lessee to pay pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Lease, (iii) any failure on the part of Ground Lessee to perform or comply with any other of the terms of this Lease or any sublease, (iv) any liability Ground Lessor may incur or suffer as a result of Ground Lessee's breach of any environmental laws or other laws affecting the Premises, and (vi) accident, injury to or death of any person or damage to property on or about the Premises. If at any time any claims, costs, demands, losses or liabilities are asserted against Ground Lessor by reason of any of the matters as to which Ground Lessee indemnifies Ground Lessor hereunder, Ground Lessee will, upon notice from Ground Lessor, defend any such claims, costs, demands, losses or liabilities at Ground Lessee’s sole cost and expense by counsel reasonably acceptable to Ground Lessor. This indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 18. Casualty. If, at any time during the Term of this Lease, the Improvements or any part thereof, shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (including any casualty for which insurance coverage was not obtained or obtainable) of any kind or nature, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, Ground Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall 11

proceed with reasonable diligence (subject to a Force Majeure event), subject to a reasonable time allowance for the purpose of adjusting such loss, to repair, alter, restore, replace or rebuild the same as nearly as possible to its use, value, condition and character immediately prior to such damage or destruction, subject to such changes or alterations as the Ground Lessee may elect to make in conformity with the provisions of Section 15 hereof. The insurance proceeds in the case of a casualty shall be held in trust by Ground Lessor and applied and disbursed to Ground Lessee on account of the obligation of Ground Lessee to repair and rebuild the Premises in the event of a casualty. 19. Assignment, Mortgage, Subletting. This Lease may not be assigned or sublet, by merger, consolidation, operation of law or otherwise, by Ground Lessee without the prior written consent of Ground Lessor, which consent may be withheld by Ground Lessor in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed by the parties hereto that Ground Lessee may sublet to one or more tenants for the purpose of operating the Premises and leasing out the Improvements for commercial purposes. Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease of this Lease, be it in whole or in part hereof, Ground Lessee shall remain liable for the full and faithful performance of all of Ground Lessee’s obligations hereunder and with respect to the Premises. 20. Arbitration. All disputes and controversies of every kind and nature between the parties to this Lease arising out of or in connection with the Lease including but not limited to the existence, construction, validity, interpretation or meaning, performance, non-performance, enforcement, operation, breach continuance or termination thereof shall be submitted to arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association then pertaining pursuant to the procedure set forth below. A. Either party may demand such arbitration in writing within five days after the controversy arises, together with a statement of the matter in controversy. B. The arbitration costs and expenses of each party shall be borne by that party except that the costs and expenses of the arbitrators shall be born equally by the parties. C. The arbitration hearing shall be held in Dover, Vermont, within sixty (60) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator, if such an arbitrator is appointed, upon ten days’ notice to the parties. D. An award rendered by a majority of the arbitrators appointed hereunder shall be final and binding on all parties to the proceeding and enforceable under the laws of the State of Vermont. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. AFTER SIGNING THE DOCUMENT, GROUND LESSEE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BRING A LAWSUIT CONCERNING ANY DISPUTE THAT MAY ARISE THAT IS COVERED BY THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, UNLESS IT INVOLVES A QUESTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL OR CIVIL RIGHTS. INSTEAD, GROUND LESSEE AGREES TO SUBMIT ANY SUCH DISPUTE TO AN IMPARTIAL ARBITRATOR AS OUTLINED ABOVE. 12

Ground Lessee, at its sole expense, shall comply with all laws, orders and regulations of federal, state, and municipal authorities, and with any direction of any public officer, pursuant to law, respecting the use or occupancy of the Premises, and the construction of all Improvements. During the Term of this Lease, Ground Lessee shall not cause or permit any hazardous substances or hazardous materials to be used or stored on, in or under the Premises by Ground Lessee, its agents, employees or contractors, or anyone claiming by, through or under Ground Lessee, except in the ordinary course of business in the operation of Ground Lessee's business as permitted by Section 6 of this Lease, or as reasonably required in performing the obligations of Ground Lessee under this Lease, and then only to the extent no Legal Requirements in effect at such time are violated by Ground Lessee.

Ground Lessee may make alterations, additions and Improvements to the Premises from time to time and all of such alterations, additions or Improvements shall be and remain the property of Ground Lessee at all times during the Term of this Lease and any extensions or renewals thereof; provided that any Improvements costing in excess of $100,000 or affecting the structure of any Improvements, shall be approved in writing, in advance, by Ground Lessor. With the prior written consent of Ground Lessor in writing, Ground Lessee at its sole expense may demolish and remove any and all Improvements on the Premises owned by Ground Lessee; provided, however, that Ground Lessor acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the construction of the Carinthia Ski Lodge, Ground Lessee shall demolish the Existing Lodge. Unless provided otherwise in this Lease, Ground Lessee shall not be required to remove any alterations, additions or Improvements, provided, however, Ground Lessee’s failure to do so prior to the termination or expiration of this Lease shall be deemed abandonment thereof and, at Ground Lessor’s option, title thereto shall vest in Ground Lessor. In the case of removal or demolition of any Improvements required by Ground Lessor, Ground Lessee shall level the Premises, remove all rubble and promptly repair any damage caused by said removal. 30. Ground Lessee’s Default. A default or an event of default shall be defined as follows (an “Event of Default”): A. If default shall be made in the due and punctual payment of any Rent or additional rent or other sums payable under this Lease, or any part thereof, when and as the same shall become due and such default shall continue for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice by Ground Lessor to Ground Lessee; or B. If default shall be made by the Ground Lessee in the performance or compliance with any agreements, terms, covenants, or conditions in this Lease other than those referenced in the foregoing subparagraph (A), and shall not be cured within a period of thirty (30) days after notice by the Ground Lessor to the Ground Lessee specifying the event of default, or in the case of a default which cannot with due diligence be cured within said thirty (30) day period, if the Ground Lessee fails to commence within said thirty (30) day period the steps necessary to cure the same and thereafter to prosecute the cure of such default with due diligence within sixty (60) days; or C. Ground Lessee fails to perform or observe any obligations pursuant to Ground Lessee's operating covenant hereunder, or D. If the Ground Lessee shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or if there shall be appointed a receiver or trustee of all or substantially all of the property of the Ground Lessee, or if the Ground Lessee shall make an assignment for the benefit of one of Ground Lessee’s creditors; or E. Ground Lessee vacates the Premises in violation of this Lease or abandons the Premises.

15

Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, in addition to any other rights or remedies Ground Lessor may have at law or in equity, Ground Lessor shall have the right to immediately re-enter and regain possession of the Premises and to exclude Ground Lessee from further use, occupancy, and enjoyment thereof. Ground Lessee waives any and all claims which the Ground Lessee may have against the Ground Lessor, regardless of when the same arise, on account of such regaining of possession by Ground Lessor or such exclusion. In particular, but not by way of limitation, Ground Lessor may remove all persons and property from the Premises and may store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Ground Lessee, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. In the event Ground Lessor elects to re-enter and regain possession of the Premises, as provided herein, or should Ground Lessor take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice or mechanism provided by law, Ground Lessor may either terminate this Lease or may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as Ground Lessor deems necessary in order to relet and operate the Premises. Ground Lessor may relet and operate the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms which may be for a term extending beyond the Term of this Lease, and at such rental or rents and upon such other terms and conditions as Ground Lessor, in its sole discretion deems advisable. Upon such reletting, all rental thereby received by Ground Lessor shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness or rent due hereunder from Ground Lessee to Ground Lessor; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees and attorneys’ fees, and costs of any such alterations and repairs as Ground Lessor may make to facilitate such re-rental; and, third, the residue, if any, shall be held by Ground Lessor and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Ground Lessor shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be mailed to Ground Lessee or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction, at which time all amounts recovered by Ground Lessor by reletting and operating the Premises may be kept by it. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Ground Lessor may, at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous Event of Default. Should Ground Lessor at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedies it may have, Ground Lessor may recover from Ground Lessee the Rent owed for the remainder of the Term, and all damages Ground Lessor may incur by reason of such breach, including the costs of recovering the Premises and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Ground Lessee also consents and agrees that any rights granted hereby or expressed herein as to the Premises, as a result of Ground Lessee’s default, shall also appertain to any of Ground Lessee’s Improvements on the Premises or serving the Premises but not located thereon. 31. Ground Lessor’s Right to Perform Ground Lessee’s Obligations. If Ground Lessee is in default of any material provision of this Lease, other than the provisions requiring the payment of Rent, and Ground Lessor shall give to Ground Lessee written notice of such Event of Default, and if Ground Lessee shall fail to cure or commerce to cure such Event of 16

Default within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, then Ground Lessor may, in its sole discretion, enter the Premises at any time and cure such Event of Default for the account of Ground Lessee, and any sums reasonably expended by Ground Lessor in connection therewith shall be deemed to be additional rent and payable upon written demand by Ground Lessor. 32. Right of Access. Ground Lessor and its representatives may enter upon the Premises and any Improvement located on the Premises at any reasonable time for the purpose of inspections relating to compliance with this Lease, or at any time in the event of an emergency. 33. Priority of Mortgages; Estoppel; Subordination. A. It is understood and expressly agreed between the parties that this Lease shall always be subject and subordinate to any present or future mortgages or assignments to mortgagees affecting the Premises. Ground Lessee may require as a precondition to any such subordination that the mortgagee agree to honor this Lease in the event of foreclosure and, in return, Ground Lessee shall agree to attorn to such mortgagee; provided, however, that Ground Lessee hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or the enforcement of any such mortgagee's rights and remedies, (i) any revenues from the Premises that are based upon the sale of “access” to the Resort (e.g., ski lift tickets, ski rentals, ski school and similar revenues based upon Resort access) would flow to and be managed by the mortgagee or purchaser of the Resort, as successor landlord, and (ii) rent under the lease would become market rent, all as further set forth and described in the form of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement attached hereto Exhibit C (the "SNDA Form"). B. Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Ground Lessor, Ground Lessee, and Ground Lessor's existing lender (such existing lender, together with its successors, assigns and transferees, as applicable, the "Existing Lender") which holds a mortgage on the Resort, including the Premises (as such mortgage may be amended, restated, modified, assigned or transferred, the "Existing Mortgage")shall execute the SNDA Form. Ground Lessee further acknowledges and agrees that the SNDA Form, upon execution by all of the parties thereto, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all of the parties thereto, and their respective successors and assigns. Ground Lessee also agrees, upon request by Existing Lender or Ground Lessor, to execute any confirmation, ratification, or necessary amendments of or to the SNDA Form in connection with (i) any refinancing, substitutions, splitting or bifurcation, amendments, modifications, ratification or restatement of the promissory note(s) and any other indebtedness and/or other obligations secured by the Existing Mortgage or by any other documents evidencing, securing or relating to such indebtedness and/or other obligations, (ii) the release, substitution or exchange of any collateral securing such indebtedness or other obligations, (iii) increase to or changes in the terms of payment of the promissory note(s) and any other indebtedness and/or other obligations secured by the Existing Mortgage, or (iv) any assignment (including by operation of law) or transfer of any rights or interests

17

of Existing Lender under the Existing Mortgage and/or the indebtedness and/or other obligations secured thereby. C. Ground Lessee agrees, within fifteen (15) days after request by Ground Lessor, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to and in favor of the proposed holder of any mortgage or purchaser of the Premises, an estoppel certificate in such form as Ground Lessor may reasonably require. D. Except as otherwise provided in A. or B. of this Section 33, upon request of the holder of any mortgage affecting the Premises following the date hereof, Ground Lessee 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 Ground Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver an instrument effecting such subordination; provided, however, Ground Lessor shall obtain and deliver to Ground Lessee, in recordable form, from the holder of any such mortgage to which this Lease is to become subordinate following the date hereof, a non-disturbance agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C or such form reasonably approved by Ground Lessor, Ground Lessee and the applicable mortgagee. 34. Cumulative Remedies. The remedies of Ground Lessor herein shall be cumulative and not alternative, and not exclusive of any other right or remedy available to Ground Lessor. 35. Holdover Tenancy. Any holding over by the Ground Lessee after the termination of this Lease shall be on a day to day basis at the rent in effect at the time of the holding over prorated on a daily basis. The covenants and agreements contained herein shall remain in force during the period of any holding over insofar as applicable. 36. Waiver. The failure of the Ground Lessor to insist upon a strict performance of any of the terms, conditions and covenants herein, shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies that the Ground Lessor may have and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default in the terms, conditions and covenants herein contained. 37. Force Majeure. In the event Ground Lessor or Ground Lessee shall be delayed, hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder (other than the payment of Rent) by reason of strikes, lock-outs, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection, the act, war or other reason beyond their reasonable control, 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 Section shall not operate to excuse Ground Lessee from prompt payment of rent or any other payment required by Ground Lessee 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 lack of funds. 38. Invalidity or Inapplicability of Clause. If any term or provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, to any extent, be deemed invalid or 18

unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest permitted by law. Any portion of this Lease determined to be invalid or unenforceable shall, to the extent possible, be reformed to accomplish its intended effect. 39. Captions. The parties mutually agree that the headings and captains contained in this Lease are inserted for convenience of reference only, and are not to be deemed part of or to be used in construing this Lease. 40. Notices. Service of all notices under this Lease shall be sufficient if delivered personally or if mailed via registered mail to the party involved at the address hereinafter set forth, or at such other address as such party may provide in writing from time to time. Any such notice mailed to such address shall be effective when deposited in the United States mail, duly addressed and with postage prepaid.

Liens. Ground Lessee will not directly nor indirectly create or permit to be created or to remain, and will promptly discharge, any lien, encumbrance or charge on or pledge of, the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Ground Lessor. Ground Lessee will not permit any mechanic’s lien or other liens to be placed upon the Premises as a result of any materials or labor ordered by Ground Lessee or any of Ground Lessee’s agents, officers or employees. If any such lien is filed, Ground Lessee shall have such lien released of record or bond over said lien in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Ground Lessor, at its sole cost and expense, and within a reasonable period of time. 10. Maintenance and Repair. Ground Lessee shall at all times during the Term, of this Lease, at its own cost and expense, keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, in repair and good, safe working order and operating conditions (ordinary wear and tear accepted), all Improvements on the Premises and shall use all reasonable precaution to prevent waste, damage, or injury to the Premises. Ground Lessor shall not be required to make any improvements, repairs, or alterations in or to the Premises during the Term of this Lease.

Improvements constructed by Ground Lessor shall become part of the Premises but shall remain the property of Ground Lessor.

12. Condemnation. If at any time during the Term of this Lease a substantial portion of the Premises (meaning thereby so much as shall render the Premises to any extent unusable by Ground Lessee, as reasonably determined by Ground Lessee) shall be taken by exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain or by agreement between Ground Lessor and those authorized to exercise such rights (all such proceedings being collectively designated as a “taking in condemnation” or a “taking”), this Lease shall, in the reasonable discretion of Ground Lessee terminate and expire on the date of such taking and the rent and other amounts payable to Ground Lessee hereunder shall be apportioned and paid to the date of such taking. Ground Lessee shall have no right to interpose, prosecute or collect a claim against Ground Lessor in any proceedings for taking in condemnation, for the loss of the value of this Lease or improvements made by Ground Lessee to the Premises, provided, however, that Ground Lessee may pursue its own claim (without diminishing Ground Lessor's award as hereinafter described) to recover from the condemning authority, but not from the Ground Lessor, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Ground Lessee in Ground Lessee’s own right on account of any and all damage to Ground Lessee’s Improvements, or to its operation by reason of taking in condemnation and for and on account of related any cost or loss to which Ground Lessee might incur in removing Ground Lessee’s Improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Any award for the value of the land, the value, benefit or use under the Water Use Agreement, residual rights in and to the Improvements, and loss of Rent shall belong to Ground Lessor, and Ground Lessee shall not be entitled to share in any such award on account of any leasehold interest. If the title to less than a substantial portion of the Premises shall be taken in condemnation so that the operations conducted on the Premises can be continued without material diminution, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Ground Lessee shall restore the Improvements to as near a condition as possible to the condition that existed prior to such taking. Any award for a partial taking shall be vested as set forth in the prior paragraph relating to the total taking in condemnation. The proceeds of any award to Ground Lessee in case of any condemnation shall be held in trust and applied on account of the obligation of Ground Lessee to repair and rebuild the Premises in the event of a condemnation. 13. Insurance and Indemnity. During the Term of this Lease, Ground Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, and for the benefit of the Ground Lessor, shall carry and maintain commercial general liability insurance, including property damage, insuring Ground Lessor against liability for injury to persons or property occurring in or about the Premises and areas serving the Premises and any parking areas used by or on behalf of Ground Lessee or arising out of the ownership, maintenance, use, or occupancy thereof, or any other such insurance reasonably required by Ground Lessor. The coverage of such insurance shall not be less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for commercial general insurance, property insurance for not less than the full replacement value of the System, and an umbrella policy of not less than Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) for both, provided that such amounts may be reasonably increased from time to time at the request of Ground Lessor. During the Term of this Lease, Ground Lessee shall at its expense keep the Premises insured in the name of Ground Lessor and Ground Lessee (as their interests may appear with each as named insured, additional insured or loss payee, as applicable) against damage or destruction by all risks of direct physical loss or damage including fire and the perils commonly covered under a 5

special form policy in an amount equal to the full replacement cost thereof (without deduction for physical depreciation). Such policy also shall cover such other “additional coverage” insurance as Ground Lessor may reasonably require, which at the time is usual and commonly obtained in connection with similar properties. The proceeds of such insurance in case of loss or damage shall be held in trust and applied on account of the obligation of Ground Lessee to repair and rebuild the Premises in the event of a casualty. All insurance policies maintained by Ground Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease shall name Ground Lessor, Ground Lessor’s mortgagees, and Ground Lessee as insureds as their respective interests may appear and shall be written as primary policies which do not contribute to and are not in excess of coverage which Ground Lessor may carry. All such insurance policies shall require the insurance carriers to provide Ground Lessor with at least thirty (30) days written notice prior to termination or cancellation of any policy. At the commencement of the Term of this Lease and thereafter not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of any policy required hereunder, Ground Lessee shall deliver to Ground Lessor certificates of insurance reflecting the required insurance provided under this Section 13, upon request by Ground Lessor. Ground Lessee agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Ground Lessor, its directors, officers, employees, agents and servants, harmless from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) and all damages imposed upon or asserted against the Ground Lessor, as owner of the Premises, including, without limitation, any liabilities, costs and expenses and actual or consequential damages imposed upon or asserted against Ground Lessor, on account of (i) any use, misuse, non-use, condition, maintenance or repair by Ground Lessee of the Premises, (ii) any taxes, and other Impositions which are the obligation of Ground Lessee to pay pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Lease, (iii) any failure on the part of Ground Lessee to perform or comply with any other of the terms of this Lease or any sublease, (iv) any liability Ground Lessor may incur or suffer as a result of Ground Lessee's breach of any environmental laws or other laws affecting the Premises, and (vi) accident, injury to or death of any person or damage to property on or about the Premises. If at any time any claims, costs, demands, losses or liabilities are asserted against Ground Lessor by reason of any of the matters as to which Ground Lessee indemnifies Ground Lessor hereunder, Ground Lessee will, upon notice from Ground Lessor, defend any such claims, costs, demands, losses or liabilities at Ground Lessee’s sole cost and expense by counsel reasonably acceptable to Ground Lessor. This indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 14. Casualty. If, at any time during the Term of this Lease, the Improvements or any part thereof, shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (including any casualty for which insurance coverage was not obtained or obtainable) of any kind or nature, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, Ground Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, , shall proceed with reasonable diligence (subject to a Force Majeure event), subject to a reasonable time allowance for the purpose of adjusting such loss, to repair, alter, restore, replace or rebuild the same as nearly as possible to its use, value, condition and character immediately prior to such damage or destruction, subject to such changes or alterations as the Ground Lessee may elect to make in conformity with the provisions of Section 11 hereof. 6

15. Assignment, Mortgage, Subletting. This Lease may not be assigned or sublet, by merger, consolidation, operation of law or otherwise, by Ground Lessee without the prior written consent of Ground Lessor, which consent may be withheld by Ground Lessor in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed by the parties hereto that Ground Lessee may sublet to one or more tenants for the purpose of operating the Premises and leasing out the Improvements for commercial purposes, subject at all times to the provisions hereof and the Water Use Agreement. Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease of this Lease, be it in whole or in part hereof, Ground Lessee shall remain liable for the full and faithful performance of all of Ground Lessee’s obligations hereunder and with respect to the Premises.

Ground Lessee, at its sole expense, shall obtain all licenses or permits which may be required for the conduct of its business or operations, or for the construction of the Improvements and the making of repairs, alterations or additions to the Improvements or Premises. Ground Lessor where necessary will join with Ground Lessee at its own expense in applying for all such permits or licenses. Ground Lessee shall not use or occupy the Premises for unlawful purposes or purposes in conflict with the uses contemplated herein. 24. Condition of Premises. Ground Lessee acknowledges that it has had sufficient opportunity to inspect the Premises and accepts the Premises in its present condition, “as is, where is” and without any representation or warranty by Ground Lessor as to the condition of the Premises, any improvements which are located in, on, or under the Premises and improvements which serve the Premises but are not located thereon, or as to the use or occupancy which may be made thereof. Ground Lessee acknowledges that Ground Lessor and Ground Lessor’s agents have made no representation or warranties as to the condition or use of the Premises. At the expiration or early termination of this Lease, Ground Lessee, but only if requested in writing by Ground Lessor in Ground Lessor’s sole discretion, shall remove all Improvements constructed by or on behalf of Ground Lessee and shall peaceably surrender the Premises in as good condition as they were in at the beginning of the Term, reasonable wear and tear accepted. Absent such written request by Ground Lessor to remove the Improvements constructed by or on behalf of Ground Lessee, Ground Lessee upon expiration or early termination of this Lease shall leave said Improvements as is, which shall immediately become the owned property of Ground Lessor. Ground Lessee by its signature hereto acknowledges and agrees that in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and in consideration of such financial considerations as are contained in the Limited Partnership Agreement that governs Ground Lessee and its limited partners, any Improvements constructed by or on behalf of Ground Lessee are being constructed and/or installed for the benefit of both Ground Lessor and Ground Lessee, and in conjunction with and to benefit the operations of the Resort. 25.

9

Unless provided otherwise in this Lease, Ground Lessee shall not be required to remove any alterations, additions or Improvements, provided, however, Ground Lessee’s failure to do so prior to the termination or expiration of this Lease shall be deemed abandonment thereof and, at Ground Lessor’s option, title thereto shall vest in Ground Lessor. In the case of removal or demolition of any Improvements, Ground Lessee shall level the Premises, remove all rubble and promptly repair any damage caused by said removal. 26. Ground Lessee’s Default. A default or an event of default shall be defined as follows (an “Event of Default”): A. If default shall be made in the due and punctual payment of any Rent or additional rent or other sums payable under this Lease, or any part thereof, when and as the same shall become due and such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice by Ground Lessor to Ground Lessee; or B. If default shall be made by the Ground Lessee in the performance or compliance with any of the material agreements, terms, covenants, or conditions in this Lease other than those referenced in the foregoing subparagraph (A), and shall not be cured within a period of thirty (30) days after notice by the Ground Lessor to the Ground Lessee specifying the event of default, or in the case of a default which cannot with due diligence be cured within said thirty (30) day period, if the Ground Lessee fails to commence within said thirty (30) day period the steps necessary to cure the same and thereafter to prosecute the cure of such default with due diligence; or C. If the Ground Lessee shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or if there shall be appointed a receiver or trustee of all or substantially all of the property of the Ground Lessee, or if the Ground Lessee shall make an assignment for the benefit of one of Ground Lessee’s creditors; or D. Ground Lessee vacates the Premises in violation of this Lease or abandons the Premises; or E. The occurrence of a Default, as defined in the Water Use Agreement. Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, in addition to any other rights or remedies Ground Lessor may have at law or in equity, Ground Lessor shall have the right to immediately re-enter and regain possession of the Premises and to exclude Ground Lessee from further use, occupancy, and enjoyment thereof. Ground Lessee waives any and all claims which the Ground Lessee may have against the Ground Lessor, regardless of when the same arise, on account of such regaining of possession by Ground Lessor or such exclusion. In particular, but not by way of limitation, Ground Lessor may remove all persons and property from the Premises and may store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Ground Lessee, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby.

10

In the event Ground Lessor elects to re-enter and regain possession of the Premises, as provided herein, or should Ground Lessor take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice or mechanism provided by law, Ground Lessor may either terminate this Lease or may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as Ground Lessor deems necessary in order to relet and operate the Premises. Ground Lessor may relet and operate the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms which may be for a term extending beyond the Term of this Lease, and at such rental or rents and upon such other terms and conditions as Ground Lessor, in its sole discretion deems advisable. Upon such reletting, all rental thereby received by Ground Lessor shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness or rent due hereunder from Ground Lessee to Ground Lessor; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees and attorneys’ fees, and costs of any such alterations and repairs as Ground Lessor may make to facilitate such re-rental; and, third, the residue, if any, shall be held by Ground Lessor and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Ground Lessor shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be mailed to Ground Lessee or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction, at which time all amounts recovered by Ground Lessor by reletting and operating the Premises may be kept by it. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Ground Lessor may, at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous Event of Default. Should Ground Lessor at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedies it may have, Ground Lessor may recover from Ground Lessee the Rent owed for the remainder of the Term, and all damages Ground Lessor may incur by reason of such breach, including the costs of recovering the Premises and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Ground Lessee also consents and agrees that any rights granted hereby or expressed herein as to the Premises, as a result of Ground Lessee’s default, shall also appertain to any of Ground Lessee’s Improvements on the Premises or serving the Premises but not located thereon. 27. Ground Lessor’s Right to Perform Ground Lessee’s Obligations. If Ground Lessee is in default of any material provision of this Lease, other than the provisions requiring the payment of Rent, and Ground Lessor shall give to Ground Lessee written notice of such Event of Default, and if Ground Lessee shall fail to cure or commerce to cure such Event of Default within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, then Ground Lessor may enter the Premises at any time and cure such Event of Default for the account of Ground Lessee, and any sums reasonably expended by Ground Lessor in connection therewith shall be deemed to be additional rent and payable upon written demand by Ground Lessor. 28. Right of Access. Ground Lessor and its representatives may enter upon the Premises and any Improvement located on the Premises at any reasonable time for the purpose of inspections relating to compliance with this Lease, or at any time in the event of an emergency. 29. Priority of Mortgages; Estoppel; Subordination.

11

A. It is understood and expressly agreed between the parties that this Lease shall always be subject and subordinate to any present or future mortgages or assignments to mortgagees affecting the Premises. Ground Lessee may require as a precondition to any such subordination that the mortgagee agree to honor this Lease in the event of foreclosure and, in return, Ground Lessee shall agree to attorn to such mortgagee; provided, however, that Ground Lessee hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or the enforcement of any such mortgagee's rights and remedies, payments, as defined under Section 4 of the Water Use Agreement, shall be adjusted in accordance with that the form of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement attached hereto Exhibit E (the "SNDA Form"). B. Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Ground Lessor, Ground Lessee, and Ground Lessor's existing lender (such existing lender, together with its successors, assigns and transferees, as applicable, the "Existing Lender") which holds a mortgage on the Resort, including the Premises (as such mortgage may be amended, restated, modified, assigned or transferred, the "Existing Mortgage") shall execute the SNDA Form. Ground Lessee further acknowledges and agrees that the SNDA Form, upon execution by all of the parties thereto, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all of the parties thereto, and their respective successors and assigns. Ground Lessee also agrees, upon request by Existing Lender or Ground Lessor, to execute any confirmation, ratification, or necessary amendments of or to the SNDA Form in connection with (i) any refinancing, substitutions, splitting or bifurcation, amendments, modifications, ratification or restatement of the promissory note(s) and any other indebtedness and/or other obligations secured by the Existing Mortgage or by any other documents evidencing, securing or relating to such indebtedness and/or other obligations, (ii) the release, substitution or exchange of any collateral securing such indebtedness or other obligations, (iii) increase to or changes in the terms of payment of the promissory note(s) and any other indebtedness and/or other obligations secured by the Existing Mortgage, or (iv) any assignment (including by operation of law) or transfer of any rights or interests of Existing Lender under the Existing Mortgage and/or the indebtedness and/or other obligations secured thereby. C. Ground Lessee agrees, within fifteen (15) days after request by Ground Lessor, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to and in favor of the proposed holder of any mortgage or purchaser of the Premises, an estoppel certificate in such form as Ground Lessor may reasonably require. D. Except as otherwise provided in A. or B. of this Section 29, upon request of the holder of any mortgage affecting the Premises following the date hereof, Ground Lessee 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 Ground Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver an instrument effecting such subordination; provided, however, Ground Lessor shall obtain and deliver to Ground Lessee, in recordable form, from the holder of any such mortgage to which this Lease is to become subordinate following the date hereof, a non-disturbance agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as

12

Exhibit E or such form reasonably approved by Ground Lessor, Ground Lessee and the applicable mortgagee. 30. Cumulative Remedies. The remedies of Ground Lessor herein shall be cumulative and not alternative, and not exclusive of any other right or remedy available to Ground Lessor. 31. Holdover Tenancy. Any holding over by the Ground Lessee after the termination of this Lease shall be on a day to day basis at the rent in effect at the time of the holding over prorated on a daily basis. The covenants and agreements contained herein shall remain in force during the period of any holding over insofar as applicable. 32. Waiver. The failure of the Ground Lessor to insist upon a strict performance of any of the terms, conditions and covenants herein, shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies that the Ground Lessor may have and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default in the terms, conditions and covenants herein contained. 33. Force Majeure. In the event Ground Lessor or Ground Lessee shall be delayed, hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder (other than the payment of Rent) by reason of strikes, lock-outs, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection, the act, failure to act or default of the other party, war or other reason beyond their reasonable control, 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. 34. Invalidity or Inapplicability of Clause. If any term or provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, to any extent, be deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest permitted by law. Any portion of this Lease determined to be invalid or unenforceable shall, to the extent possible, be reformed to accomplish its intended effect. 35. Captions. The parties mutually agree that the headings and captains contained in this Lease are inserted for convenience of reference only, and are not to be deemed part of or to be used in construing this Lease. 36.

1. Supply of Water. West Lake hereby agrees to use and operate the System for the Term of this Agreement, and to supply all of the water produced, managed and stored by the System exclusively to Mount Snow, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Lease. Mount Snow hereby agrees to procure all water needed for the Resort for snowmaking purposes from West Lake. 2. Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall be commence as of the date hereof and expire within fifty (50) years or the earlier termination of this Agreement (“Term”). Upon not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice to West Lake, but not more than hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the original term of this Agreement, Mount Snow shall have the one time option to extend the original term of this Agreement by forty-nine (49) years.

Payments. a. As consideration for being supplied all of its snowmaking water Mount Snow shall pay West Lake for the volume of water received and for services reasonably related to delivery of snowmaking water. All water supplied to Mount Snow shall be monitored by meter recording water volume. West Lake shall read each meter on a monthly or otherwise regular basis, and shall report the water usage to Mount Snow. b.

This Section shall survive termination of this Agreement. 10. Compliance with Law. West Lake shall comply with all federal, state and municipal laws, statutes, ordinances, orders, rules and/or regulations in connection with this Agreement. West Lake shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify Mount Snow from any and all liabilities or costs arising out of West Lake’s failure to comply with any such non-compliance. This Section shall survive termination of this Agreement. 11. Maintenance, Improvements and Reconstruction. West Lake shall maintain the System in good order and repair, as necessary to comply with all applicable local, state and federal regulations, in conformance with reasonable engineering standards, and as otherwise required under the Lease.

The making by West Lake of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors (exclusive of assignments in connection with financings as reasonably approved by Mount Snow), the filing by or against West Lake of a petition to have West Lake deemed bankrupt, or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against West Lake, the same is dismissed within ninety (90) days), the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession that is not restored to West Lake within ninety (90) days, or the attainment, execution or other judicial seizure that is not discharged within ninety (90) days; or c.
