(“GWR OP”), Great Wolf Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Great Wolf Finance”
and, together with GWR OP, the “Issuers”), Great Wolf Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“GWR”), GWR OP General Partner, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
“General Partner” and, together with GWR, the “Parent Guarantors”), GWR OP’s
subsidiaries listed on Schedule II hereto (the “Initial Subsidiary Guarantors”) and
GWR OP’s subsidiaries listed on Schedule III hereto (the “Additional Subsidiary
Guarantors”, together with the Initial Subsidiary Guarantors, the “Subsidiary
Guarantors” and collectively with the Parent Guarantors, the “Guarantors”) hereby
confirm their agreement with the initial purchasers named in Schedule I attached hereto
(the “Initial Purchasers”) for whom Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Banc of America
Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc. are acting as
the representatives, as set forth below.




          Section 1. The Securities. Subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the
Issuers propose to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers $230,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of their 10.875% First Mortgage Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”). The Notes are to be issued
under an indenture (the “Indenture”) to be dated as of April 7, 2010 by and between the
Issuers and the Guarantors (collectively, the “Great Wolf Parties”) and U.S. Bank National
Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”).







 









 








          The payment of principal, premium and interest on the Notes will be fully and unconditionally
guaranteed (the “Guarantees” and with the Notes, the “Securities”) jointly and
severally, by the Guarantors.




          The Guarantees by the Subsidiary Guarantors listed on Schedule IV hereto (the
“Grantors”) will be secured on a first priority basis by liens on the existing and future
assets of the Grantors (the “Collateral”) as provided in such pledge and security
agreements, mortgages, collateral assignments and other documents or instruments evidencing or
purporting to create a security interest in and/or lien on the Collateral (collectively, the
“Security Documents”), each in favor of U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent
(in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for its benefit and for the benefit of the
Trustee and the holders of the Securities. This agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), the
Indenture, the Securities and the Security Documents are collectively referred to herein as the
“Agreements.”




          The Securities will be offered and sold to the Initial Purchasers without being registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), in reliance on exemptions
therefrom.




          In connection with the sale of the Securities, the Issuers have prepared a preliminary
offering memorandum dated March 21, 2010 (the “Preliminary Memorandum”). As used herein,
“Pricing Disclosure Package” shall mean the Preliminary Memorandum, as supplemented or
amended by the written communications listed on Annex A hereto in the most recent form that
has been prepared and delivered by the Issuers to the Initial Purchasers in connection with their
solicitation of offers to purchase Securities prior to the time when sales of the Securities were
first made (the “Time of Execution”). Promptly after the Time of Execution and in any
event no later than the third Business Day following the Time of Execution, the Issuers will
prepare and deliver to each Initial Purchaser a final offering memorandum (the “Final
Memorandum”), which will consist of the Preliminary Memorandum with such changes therein as are
required and will include the information contained in the amendments or supplements listed on
Annex A hereto. The Issuers hereby confirm that they have authorized the use of the
Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Memorandum and the Recorded Road Show (defined below) in
connection with the offer and sale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers. All references
herein to the “Preliminary Memorandum,” the “Offering Memorandum” and the “Pricing Disclosure
Package” shall include the documents and materials incorporated by reference therein.




          The Initial Purchasers and their direct and indirect transferees of the Securities will be
entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement, among the Issuers, the Guarantors
and the Initial Purchasers to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”), pursuant to which the Great Wolf Parties have agreed, among other things, to file
a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) registering the Securities or the Exchange Securities (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the Act.




          Section 2. Representations and Warranties. As of the Time of Execution, the Issuers,
the Parent Guarantors and the Initial Subsidiary Guarantors, and at the Closing Date, the Great
Wolf Parties, in each case jointly and severally, represent and warrant to and agree with each
Initial Purchaser as follows (references in this Section 2 to the “Offering Memorandum” are

the Time of Execution and (ii) both the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum in the
case of representations and warranties made at the Closing Date):




          (a) The Preliminary Memorandum, on the date thereof, did not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. At the Time of Execution,
the Pricing Disclosure Package does not, and on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3 below),
will not, and the Final Memorandum as of its date and on the Closing Date will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided, however, that the Great Wolf Parties make no representation or warranty as to the
information contained in or omitted from the Pricing Disclosure Package and Final Memorandum, in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Issuers by or on
behalf of the Initial Purchasers through Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. specifically for inclusion
therein. The Great Wolf Parties have not distributed or referred to and will not distribute or
refer to any written communication (as defined in Rule 405 of the Act) that is an offer to sell or
solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities (each such communication by the Great Wolf Parties
or their agents and representatives (other than the Pricing Disclosure Package and Final
Memorandum) an “Issuer Written Communication”) other than the Pricing Disclosure Package,
the Final Memorandum and the recorded electronic road show made available to investors (the
“Recorded Road Show”). Any information in an Issuer Written Communication that is not
otherwise included in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum does not conflict
with the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum and, each Issuer Written Communication,
when taken together with the Pricing Disclosure Package does not at the Time of Execution and when
taken together with the Final Memorandum at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

authorized and issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and were not issued in violation of any
preemptive or similar rights; all of the outstanding partnership interests of GWR OP will be free

reference in the Offering Memorandum, complied or will comply when so filed in all material
respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder; and none of such documents contained or will contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact required to be

jurisdiction listed next to such entity’s name on Schedule VI hereto, which are the
jurisdictions where the ownership or leasing of its properties or the conduct of its business
requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or
in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the general affairs, management, business,
condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Great Wolf Group Members, taken
as a whole (any such event, a “Material Adverse Effect”).




          (e) Each Great Wolf Party has all requisite corporate, limited liability company or limited
liability limited partnership (as applicable) power and authority to execute, deliver and perform
each of its obligations under the Securities and the Exchange Securities (as defined in the

liability limited partnership (as applicable) power and authority to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under the Indenture. The Indenture meets the requirements for qualification under

case of Additional Subsidiary Guarantors, will be at the Closing Date, duly and validly authorized
by each Great Wolf Party and, when executed and delivered by the Great Wolf Parties (assuming the
due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee), will constitute a valid and legally

with its terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to the Enforceability
Exceptions.

Great Wolf Party in accordance with its terms, except that (A) the enforcement thereof may be
subject to the Enforceability Exceptions and (B) any rights to indemnity or contribution thereunder
may be limited by federal and state securities laws and public policy considerations.

Initial Purchasers and assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Initial
Purchasers, and compliance by the Initial Purchasers with their agreements, contained in Section 8

or lapse of time or both, will be (i) in violation of its certificate or articles of incorporation,
bylaws, certificate of formation, limited liability agreement, partnership agreement or other
organizational document, (ii) in breach or violation of any statute, judgment, decree, order, rule
or regulation applicable to any of them or any of their respective properties or assets
(“Applicable Regulation”), except for any such breach or violation that would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) in breach of or default
under (nor has any event occurred that, with notice or passage of time or both, would constitute a
default under) or in violation of any of the terms or provisions of any indenture, mortgage, deed

Agreement, the Joinder Agreement, the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Security
Documents and the consummation by the Great Wolf Parties of the transactions contemplated hereby

the Initial Purchasers, and compliance by the Initial Purchasers with their agreements, in Section
8 hereof) any Applicable Regulation, except for any such conflict, breach or violation that would

          (l) Each Guarantee has been duly authorized by each Guarantor and, when the Securities have
been executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to
and paid for by the Initial Purchasers, will have been duly executed and delivered by each
Guarantor and will constitute its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against each
Guarantor in accordance with their terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to the
Enforceability Exceptions. Each guarantee of the Exchange Securities has

the Grantors party thereto and on the Closing Date, will have been duly executed and delivered by

Memorandum and except as set forth in or contemplated by the Offering Memorandum, (i) no Great Wolf
Group Member has incurred any liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, or entered into or

          (v) The statistical and market-related data included in the Offering Memorandum are based on
or derived from sources that the Great Wolf Parties believe to be reliable and accurate.




          (w) No Great Wolf Group Party or any agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take any

necessary to conduct the businesses now or proposed to be operated by them as described in the
Offering Memorandum, except as otherwise disclosed in or contemplated by the Offering Memorandum

infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any patents, trademarks,
service marks, trade names, copyrights or know-how that, if such assertion of infringement or
conflict were sustained, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

to register any of the Securities under the Act or to qualify the Indenture under the TIA.

          (a) Until the last to occur of (i) the completion of the distribution of the Securities by the

with the Commission under the Exchange Act unless the Initial Purchasers shall previously have been
advised and furnished a copy for a reasonable period of time prior to the proposed amendment,
supplement or report and as to which the Initial Purchasers shall not have reasonably objected in a
timely manner. The Great Wolf Parties will promptly, upon the reasonable request of the Initial
Purchasers or counsel for the Initial Purchasers, make any amendments or supplements to the Pricing
Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum that may be necessary or advisable in connection with
the resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers.




          (b) The Great Wolf Parties will cooperate with the Initial Purchasers in arranging for the
qualification of the Securities for offering and sale under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of
which jurisdictions as the Initial Purchasers may designate and will continue such qualifications
in effect for as long as may be necessary to complete the resale of the Securities; provided,
however, that in connection therewith, the Issuers shall not be required to qualify as foreign
corporations (or otherwise) or to execute general consents to service of process in any
jurisdiction or subject themselves to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so
subject.




          (c) (1) If, at any time prior to the latest of (i) the completion of the sale by the Initial
Purchasers of the Securities or the Private Exchange Securities and (ii) 180 days after the Closing
Date, any event occurs or information becomes known as a result of which the Pricing Disclosure
Package and the Final Memorandum as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement
of a material fact, or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if for any other
reason it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Pricing Disclosure Package and the
Final Memorandum to comply with applicable law, the Great Wolf Parties will promptly notify the
Initial Purchasers thereof and will prepare, at the expense of the Great Wolf Parties, an amendment
or supplement to the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum that corrects such
statement or omission or effects such compliance and (2) if at any time prior to the Closing Date
(i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result






-14-









 







of which any of the Pricing Disclosure Package as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading or any Issuer Written Communication would conflict with the Pricing Disclosure
Package as then amended or supplemented, or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement any of the
Pricing Disclosure Package so that any of the Pricing Disclosure Package or any Issuer Written
Communication will comply with applicable law, the Great Wolf Parties will promptly notify the
Initial Purchasers thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (a) above, furnish to
the Initial Purchasers such amendments or supplements to any of the Pricing Disclosure Package or
any Issuer Written Communication (it being understood that any such amendments or supplements may
take the form of an amended or supplemented Final Memorandum) as may be necessary so that the
statements in any of the Pricing Disclosure Package as so amended or supplemented will not, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, be misleading or so that any Issuer Written
Communication will not conflict with the Pricing Disclosure Package or so that the Pricing
Disclosure Package or any Issuer Written Communication as so amended or supplemented will comply
with applicable law.




          (d) The Great Wolf Parties will, without charge, provide to the Initial Purchasers and to

          (f) For so long as any of the Securities remain outstanding, but only so long as the Issuers
are subject to the covenant in the Indenture to provide reports to the Trustee or to the holders of
the Securities, the Great Wolf Parties will furnish to the Initial Purchasers copies of all reports
and other communications (financial or otherwise) furnished by any Great Wolf Party to the Trustee
or to the holders of the Securities and, as soon as available, copies of any reports or financial
statements furnished to or filed by any Great Wolf Party with the Commission or any national
securities exchange on which any class of securities of any Great Wolf Party may be listed;
provided that the foregoing obligation shall not apply to any reports or other communication
(including financial statements) that are made available on the Commission’s EDGAR database).

          (h) The Parent Guarantors and the Issuers will not, and will not permit any of the
Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates or persons acting on their behalf to, engage in any
form of general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D under

offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Act.

Exchange Act.




          (j) The Great Wolf Parties will use all commercially reasonable efforts to permit the
Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement through The Depository Trust Company.




          (k) During the period beginning on the date hereof and continuing to the date that is 90 days
after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., no
Great Wolf Group Member will directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise
dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to,
result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to
cash settlement or otherwise) by any Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates or any person in
privity with the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers), except as provided hereunder, any
securities of any Great Wolf Group Member (or guaranteed by any Great Wolf Group Member) that are
substantially similar to the Securities.




          (l) In connection with Securities offered and sold in an off shore transaction (as defined in

none of the Issuers or any of their Affiliates will sell any such Securities, unless (i) such
Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement which is effective under the Act, or (ii)
in the written opinion of reputable counsel, the buyer of such Securities is not acquiring
“restricted securities” under Rule 144.




          (o) Each Great Wolf Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Securities to
be secured by first priority liens on the Collateral to the extent and in the manner provided for
in the Indenture and the Security Documents and as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package.

or, if any such person is buying for one or more institutional accounts for which such person is
acting as fiduciary or agent, only when such person has represented to the Initial Purchasers that
each such account is a QIB, to whom notice has been given that such sale or delivery is being made
in reliance on Rule 144A, and, in each case, in transactions under Rule 144A and (B) in the case of
offers outside the United States, to persons other than U.S. persons (“non-U.S. purchasers,” which
term shall include dealers or other professional fiduciaries in the United States acting on a
discretionary basis for non-U.S. beneficial owners (other than an estate or trust)); provided,
however, that, in the case of this clause (B), in purchasing such Securities such persons are
deemed to have represented and agreed as provided under the caption “Transfer Restrictions”
contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum.




          (b) Each of the Initial Purchasers represents and warrants (as to itself only) with respect to
offers and sales outside the United States that (i) it has and will comply with all applicable laws
and regulations in each jurisdiction in which it acquires, offers, sells or delivers Securities or
has in its possession or distributes any Pricing Disclosure Package or Final Memo-





-20-









 







randum or any such other material, in all cases at its own expense; (ii) the Securities have not been and will not be
offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons
except non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in accordance with Regulation
S under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act; and
(iii) it has offered the Securities and will offer and sell the Securities (A) as part of its
distribution at any time and (B) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the
offering and the Closing Date, only in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S and, accordingly,
neither it nor any persons acting on its behalf have engaged or will engage in any directed selling
efforts (within the meaning of Regulation S) with respect to the Securities, and any such persons
have complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S.




          (c) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly represents and warrants and agrees with
the Issuers that:





     (i) in relation to each Member State (each, a “Relevant Member State”) of the
European Economic Area that has implemented Directive 2003/71/EC (including any relevant
implementing measure in each Relevant Member State, the “Prospectus Directive”),
with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in
that Relevant Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”), it has not made and
will not make an offer of the Securities to the public (as such expression is defined in
Section 17) in that Relevant Member State prior to the publication of a prospectus in
relation to the Securities that has been approved by the competent authority in that
Relevant Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and
notified to the competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in accordance with
the Prospectus Directive, except that it may, with effect from and including the Relevant
Implementation Date, make an offer of the Securities to the public in that Relevant Member
State at any time: (A) to legal entities which are authorized or regulated to operate in the
financial markets or, if not so authorized or regulated, whose corporate purpose is solely
to invest in securities; (B) to any legal entity which has two or more of (1) an average of
at least 250 employees during the last financial year; (2) a total balance sheet of more
than €43,000,000 and (3) an annual net turnover of more than €50,000,000, as shown in its
last annual or consolidated accounts; or (C) in any other circumstances which do not require
the publication by the Issuers of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus
Directive;




     (ii) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or
cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity
(within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000 (the
“FSMA”)) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the Securities in
circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Issuers;




     (iii) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with
respect to anything done by it in relation to the Securities in, from or otherwise involving
the United Kingdom; and



-21-









 






     (iv) it has not, directly or indirectly, offered or sold and will not, directly or
indirectly, offer or sell in the Netherlands any Securities with a denomination of less than
€50,000 (or its other currency equivalent) other than to persons who trade or invest in
securities in the conduct of a profession or business (which includes banks, stockbrokers,
insurance companies, pension funds, other institutional investors and finance companies
and treasury departments of large enterprises) unless one of the other exemptions from or
exceptions to the prohibition contained in article 3 of the Dutch Securities Transactions
Supervision Act 1995 (Wet toezicht effectenverkeer 1995) is applicable and the conditions
attached to such exemption or exception are complied with.



          Terms used in this Section 8 and not defined in this Purchase Agreement have the meanings
given to them in Regulation S.




          Section 9. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) Each Issuer, Parent Guarantor,
Initial Subsidiary Guarantor and, upon execution and delivery to the Initial Purchasers of the
Joinder Agreement, each Additional Subsidiary Guarantor, severally and jointly, agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers, and each person,
if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any Initial
Purchaser or such affiliate, officer, director or controlling person may become subject under the
Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon the following:





     (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Issuer Written Communication or Final Memorandum or any
amendment or supplement thereto; or




     (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state, in the Pricing Disclosure Package, any
Issuer Written Communication or the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto,
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;


and will reimburse, as incurred, the Initial Purchasers and each such affiliate, officer, director
or controlling person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the Initial Purchasers
or such affiliate, officer, director or controlling person in connection with investigating,
defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action; provided, however, the Great Wolf Parties will not be liable in any
such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the
Pricing Disclosure Package or Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information concerning the Initial Purchasers furnished to the
Issuers by the Initial Purchasers through Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. specifically for use
therein. The indemnity provided for in this Section 9 will be in addition to any liability that
any Great Wolf Party may otherwise have to the indemnified parties. The Great Wolf Parties shall
not be liable under this Section 9 for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its
prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.





-22-









 








          (b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Great Wolf Parties, their directors, their officers, affiliates and each person, if any, who
controls the Great Wolf Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Great
Wolf Parties or any such director, officer, affiliate or controlling person may become subject
under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package or
Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or the alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Pricing Disclosure Package
or Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or necessary to make the statements
made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each
case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information concerning such Initial Purchaser, furnished to the Issuers by the Initial Purchasers
through Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. specifically for use therein; and subject to the limitation
set forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse, as incurred, any legal or other
expenses incurred by the Great Wolf Parties or any such director, officer, affiliate or controlling
person in connection with investigating or defending against or appearing as a third-party witness
in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. The
indemnity provided for in this Section 9 will be in addition to any liability that the Initial
Purchasers may otherwise have to the indemnified parties. The Initial Purchasers shall not be
liable under this Section 9 for any settlement of any claim or action effected without their
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.




     (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the
commencement of any action for which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification under
this Section 9, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against
the indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof in writing; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it
from any liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent such failure results
in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not,
in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other
than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) above. In case any such
action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the
extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided,
however, that if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the
indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the defendants in
any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to
it and/or other indemnified parties that are inconsistent with those available to the indemnifying
party, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after receipt by
the indemnifying party of notice of the institution of such action, then, in each such



-23-









 




case, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such
indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select
separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the
defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such
action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9
for any legal or other expenses, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate
counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood,
however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the
expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in any one action or
separate but substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, designated by the Initial Purchasers in the case of paragraph (a) of
this Section 9 or the Great Wolf Parties in the case of paragraph (b) of this Section 9,
representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) or paragraph (b), as the case may be,
who are parties to such action or actions) or (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing
the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. All
fees and expenses reimbursed pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be reimbursed as they are
incurred (or within 30 days of presentation). After such notice from the indemnifying party to
such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any
settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the prior written consent of
the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless such indemnified
party waived in writing its rights under this Section 9, in which case the indemnified party may
effect such a settlement without such consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior
written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party, or
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by any indemnified party, unless such settlement (A)
includes an unconditional written release of the indemnified party, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject
matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault,
culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.




          (d) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraphs
of this Section 9 is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), each
indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the
relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified
party on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by the
foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also
the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party
on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as
any other applicable consideration. The relative benefits received by the Great Wolf Parties on
the one hand and any Initial Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as
the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by




-24-









 







the Issuers bear to the total discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser. The relative fault of
the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Great Wolf Parties on the one hand, or such Initial
Purchaser on the other, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or alleged
statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.
The Great Wolf Parties and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be equitable if the
amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other
method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in
the first sentence of this paragraph (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph
(d), no Initial Purchaser shall be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate
exceed the total discounts, commissions and other compensation received by such Initial Purchaser
under this Purchase Agreement, less the aggregate amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser
has otherwise been required to pay by reason of the untrue or alleged untrue statements or the
omissions or alleged omissions to state a material fact, and no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes
of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution
as the Initial Purchasers, and each director of each Great Wolf Party, each officer of each Great
Wolf Party and each person, if any, who controls any Great Wolf Party within the meaning of Section
15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Great Wolf Parties.




          Section 10. Survival Clause. The respective representations, warranties, agreements,
covenants, indemnities and other statements of the Great Wolf Parties, their officers and the
Initial Purchasers set forth in this Purchase Agreement or made by or on behalf of them pursuant to
this Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation
made by or on behalf of any Great Wolf Party, any of their officers or directors, the Initial
Purchasers or any controlling person referred to in Section 9 hereof and (ii) delivery of and
payment for the Securities. The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements
set forth in Sections 6, 9, 10 and 15 hereof shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of
any termination or cancellation of this Purchase Agreement.




          Section 11. Termination. (a) This Purchase Agreement may be terminated in the sole
discretion of the Initial Purchasers by notice to the Issuers given prior to the Closing Date in
the event that any Great Wolf Party shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform all
obligations and satisfy all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or
prior thereto or, if at or prior to the Closing Date,





     (i) any Great Wolf Group Member shall have sustained any loss or interference with
respect to its businesses or properties from fire, flood, hurricane, accident or other
calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any strike, labor dispute, slow down
or work stoppage or any legal or governmental proceeding, which loss or interference, in the
sole judgment of the Initial Purchasers, has had or has a Material



-25-









 






Adverse Effect, or there shall have been, in the sole judgment of the Initial Purchasers, any event or development
that, individually or in the aggregate, has or could be reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect (including without limitation a change in control of any Great Wolf Group
Member), except in each case as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final
Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto);




     (ii) trading in securities GWR or in securities generally on the New York Stock
Exchange, American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market shall have been suspended or
materially limited or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established on any such
exchange or market;




     (iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by New York or United States
authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or
clearance services in the United States;




     (iv) there shall have been (A) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the
United States and any foreign power, or (B) an outbreak or escalation of any other
insurrection or armed conflict involving the United States or any other national or
international calamity or emergency, or (C) any material change in the financial markets of
the United States which, in the case of (A), (B) or (C) above and in the sole judgment of
the Initial Purchasers, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering
or the delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Pricing Disclosure Package and the
Final Memorandum; or




     (v) any securities of any Great Wolf Group Member shall have been downgraded by any
nationally recognized statistical rating organization or any such organization shall have
publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, or has changed its outlook with
respect to, its ratings of any securities of any Great Wolf Group Member (other than an
announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading).



          (b) Termination of this Purchase Agreement pursuant to this Section 11 shall be without
liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 10 hereof.




          Section 12. Information Supplied by the Initial Purchasers. The statements set forth
in the last paragraph on the front cover page (as such paragraph is supplemented by the first item
on Annex A) and in the second sentence of the fifth paragraph under the heading “Plan of
Distribution” in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum (to the extent such statements
relate to the Initial Purchasers) constitute the only information furnished by the Initial
Purchasers to the Issuers for the purposes of Sections 2(a) and 9 hereof.




          Section 13. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and, if sent to
the Initial Purchasers, shall be mailed or delivered to (i) Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., 60 Wall

          Section 14. Successors. This Purchase Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the Initial Purchasers, the Great Wolf Parties and their respective successors and
legal representatives, and nothing expressed or mentioned in this Purchase Agreement is intended or
shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or
in respect of this Purchase Agreement, or any provisions herein contained; this Purchase Agreement
and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive
benefit of such persons and for the benefit of no other person except that (i) the indemnities of
the Great Wolf Parties contained in Section 9 of this Purchase Agreement shall also be for the
benefit of any person or persons who control the Initial Purchasers within the meaning of Section
15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and (ii) the indemnities of the Initial Purchasers
contained in Section 9 of this Purchase Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the directors of
the Great Wolf Parties, their officers and any person or persons who control the Great Wolf Parties
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. No purchaser of the
Securities from the Initial Purchasers will be deemed a successor because of such purchase.




          Section 15. APPLICABLE LAW. THE VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS PURCHASE
AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED

acknowledge and agree that (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Purchase
Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Great Wolf Parties, on the one
