(viii)      seek
to call, or to request the call of, a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, or make a request for a list of the

Stock outstanding at such time, except in each case either (A) in a transaction approved by the Board or (B) to a third party who

5.          Representations
and Warranties of Engine. Engine represents and warrants to the Company that (i) the authorized signatory of each Engine Member
set forth on the signature page hereto has the power and authority to execute this Agreement and any other documents or agreements

6.          Mutual
Non-Disparagement. Subject to applicable law, each of the Parties covenants and agrees that, during the Standstill Period or,
if earlier, until such time as the other Party or any of its agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, key
employees or directors shall have breached this Section, neither it nor any of its respective agents, subsidiaries, affiliates,
successors, assigns, officers, key employees or directors, will in any way publicly disparage, call into disrepute, defame, slander
or otherwise criticize the other Parties or such other Parties’ subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers (including
any current officer of a Party or a Parties’ subsidiaries who no longer serves in such capacity following the execution of
this Agreement), directors (including any current director of a Party or a Parties’ subsidiaries who no longer serves in
such capacity following the execution of this Agreement), employees, shareholders, agents, attorneys or representatives, or any

employees, shareholders, agents, attorneys or representatives.

 

7.          Termination.
Upon the expiration of the Standstill Period, this Agreement will immediately and automatically terminate and no Party shall have
any further right or obligation under this Agreement. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Prior Agreement will immediately and
automatically terminate and no party thereto shall have any further right or obligation under the Prior Agreement. 

 

8.          Specific
Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable injury to the other Party would occur in the event
any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and
that such injury would not be adequately compensable by the remedies available at law (including the payment of money damages).
It is accordingly agreed that Engine, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand (the “Moving Party”),
will each be entitled to specific enforcement of, and injunctive relief to prevent any violation of, the terms hereof, and the
other Party will not take action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the Moving Party seeking such relief on the grounds
that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity. This Section 8 is not the exclusive remedy for any violation
of this Agreement.

 

    	 	- 5 -	 

     

    

  

9.          Severability.

or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement will remain in full force
and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of
the Parties that the Parties would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including
any of such which may be hereafter declared invalid, void or unenforceable. In addition, the Parties agree to use their best efforts
to agree upon and substitute a valid and enforceable term, provision, covenant or restriction for any of such that is held invalid,
void or enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction.

			NON-REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT NOTE
		

		
			U.S. $22,000,000December 27, 2016
		

		
			FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CARINTHIA SKI LODGE LLC, a Vermont limited liability company with a principal place of business at 89 Grand Summit Way, West Dover, Vermont 05356 (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to Carinthia Group 1, L.P., a Vermont limited partnership with a principal place of business at 89 Grand Summit Way, West Dover, Vermont 05356 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 89 Grand Summit Way, West Dover, Vermont 05356 (Carinthia 1 and Carinthia 2 each referred to individually as a “Lender” and collectively as “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 December 27, 2016. 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 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 
		

		 

		

			1

		

		

			 

		

 

			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 anyway 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 89 Grand Summit Way, PO Box 2805, West Dover, VT 05356, 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. L. No. 102-395, section 610, as amended; or 8 U.S.C. § 1186b, INA § 216A, as any of the foregoing may be amended. Subject to the foregoing, any portion of the Principal Sum that is prepaid shall be accompanied by any and all interest accrued but unpaid thereon.

			
	
			
				 5.
			

			
	
			
			Presentment. The Borrower hereby waives diligence, demand, presentment for payment, protest and notice of protest, notice of acceleration, and all other notices or demands of any kind.
