      a

    A. The
      Company has entered into that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit
      Agreement dated as of January 28, 2005, with Bank of America, N.A., as
      Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative
      Agent”),
      and
      certain other agents and lenders party thereto, as amended by that certain
      First
      Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June
      29,
      2005 (as amended, the “Credit
      Agreement”),
      providing for revolving credit loans, letters of credit, and swing line loans
      in
      the aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000,000. Unless otherwise indicated
      herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth
      in
      the Credit Agreement, and all Section references herein shall be references
      to
      sections in the Credit Agreement.

    

    B. The
      Company has requested the ability to make Distributions to the extent permitted
      pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of January 29, 2004, among Vail Resorts,
      Inc., as Issuer (“VRI”),
      The
      Bank of New York, as Trustee, and certain of VRI’s subsidiaries, as Guarantors,
      governing VRI’s 63⁄4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014, as in effect on the date
      hereof.

    

    C. The
      Required Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement to permit such
      Distributions.

    

    In
      consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants contained herein, the
      Company, the Required Lenders, the Guarantors (by execution of the attached
      Guarantors’ Consent and Agreement), and the Administrative Agent agree as
      follows:

    

    1. Amendments. 

     

    (a) New
      Definitions.
      Section
      1.1
      is
      hereby amended by inserting the following new definitions alphabetically to
      read
      as follows:

     

    (i) “Restricted
      Payment Capacity
      means,
      on any date of determination, the Dollar value of Restricted Payments (as
      defined in the VRI Indenture) that VRI and its Restricted Subsidiaries are
      permitted to make under, and in accordance with, Section
      4.10 (Limitation on Restricted Payments) of
      the
      VRI Indenture on such date, without regard to whether VRI and its Subsidiaries
      are permitted to make a Restricted Payment (as defined in the VRI Indenture)
      on
      such date as a result of its failure to satisfy any condition to the making
      of a
      Restricted Payment (as defined in the VRI Indenture) as set forth in the VRI
      Indenture.”

    

    (ii) “VRI
      Indenture
      means
      the Indenture, dated as of January 29, 2004, between VRI, as Issuer, the
      guarantors party thereto, and The Bank of New York, as Trustee, as in effect
      on
      the date hereof, without giving effect to any further amendments, restatements,
      supplements, or modifications thereof; provided,
      that,
      the
      terms and provisions of the VRI Indenture referenced in this Agreement shall
      continue to be incorporated herein by reference if the VRI Indenture is

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -1-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    terminated,
      the Debt evidenced thereby is repaid, or the VRI Indenture ceases to be in
      full
      force and effect for any reason.” 

    

    (b) Modifications
      to Distributions Covenant.
      Section
      10.9
      (Distributions) is hereby amended as follows:

    

    (i) Clause
      (d)
      is
      amended in its entirety to read as follows (and the calculations demonstrating
      compliance with clause
      (d) in
      the
      calculations worksheet attached to the Compliance Certificate shall be
      deemed amended to reflect the revised provision below):

    

    “(d) if
      no
      Default or Potential Default exists or arises or would result after giving
      effect thereto, VRI and its Restricted Subsidiaries may make additional
      Distributions not otherwise permitted under this Section
      10.9,
      and
      loans, advances, and investments not otherwise permitted under Section
      10.8,
      so long
      as, on any date of determination, the aggregate amount of Distributions
      permitted under this clause
      (d)
      and such
      loans, advances, and investments not otherwise permitted under Section
      10.8 does
      not
      exceed the Restricted Payment Capacity. (For example and for illustrative
      purposes only, if VRI and its Restricted Subsidiaries are permitted to make
      Restricted Payments (as
      defined in the VRI Indenture) under
      the
      VRI Indenture in an amount not to exceed $10.0 million (without
      regard to whether any conditions to the making of such Restricted Payments
      (as
      defined in the VRI Indenture) are satisfied),
      then
      the Restricted Companies will be permitted to make Distributions not otherwise
      permitted under this Section
      10.9 and
      loans, advances, and investments not otherwise permitted under Section
      10.8
      in an
      amount not to exceed $10.0 million, if no Default or Potential Default exists
      or
      arises or would result after giving effect thereto.)” 

    

    (ii) Clause
      (f) shall
      be
      amended by inserting “and” at the end thereof, clause
      (g) shall
      be
      amended by replacing “; and” at the end thereof with “.”, and clause
      (h)
      shall be
      deleted in its entirety.

    

    2. Representations
      and Warranties.
      As a
      material inducement to the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent to
      execute and deliver this Amendment, the Company represents and warrants to
      the
      Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (with the knowledge and intent
      that Required Lenders are relying upon the same in entering into this Amendment)
      that (a) the Company
      and the Guarantors have all requisite authority and power to execute, deliver,
      and perform their respective obligations under this Amendment and the Guarantor
      Consent and Agreement, as the case may be, which execution, delivery, and
      performance have been duly authorized by all necessary action, require
      no Governmental Approvals, and do not violate the respective certificates of
      incorporation or its bylaws, or other documents of such Companies; (b)
upon
      execution and delivery by the Company, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent,
      and the Required Lenders, this Amendment will constitute the legal and binding
      obligation of the Company and each Guarantor, enforceable against such entities
      in accordance with this Amendment’s terms, except
      as that
      enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or by bankruptcy
      or insolvency laws or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (c)
      all representations and warranties in the Loan Papers are true and correct
      in
      all material respects as though made on the date hereof, except
      to the
      extent that any of them speak to a specific date or the facts on which any
      of
      them are based have been changed by transactions contemplated or permitted
      by
      the Credit Agreement, and (d) no Default or Potential Default has occurred
      and
      is continuing.

    

    3. Conditions
      Precedent to Effectiveness.
      This
      Amendment shall be effective on the date (the “Effective
      Date”)
      upon
      which Administrative Agent receives (i) counterparts of this Amendment executed
      by the Company, Administrative Agent, and Required Lenders, (ii) the Guarantors’
Consent and 

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -2-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Agreement
      executed by each Guarantor, and (iii) a copy of the Senior Subordinated
      Indenture as in effect on the Effective Date, accompanied by a certificate
      of a
      Responsible Officer certifying that such copy is true and correct as of such
      date.

    

    4. Expenses.
      The
      Company shall pay all reasonable costs, fees, and expenses paid or incurred
      by
      the Administrative Agent incident to this Amendment, including, without
      limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent’s
      counsel in connection with the negotiation, preparation, delivery, and execution
      of this Amendment and any related documents.

    

    5. Miscellaneous.
      Unless
      stated otherwise herein, (a) the singular number includes the plural, and

      with the laws of the State of New York, (d) if any part of this Amendment is
      for
      any reason found to be unenforceable, all other portions of it shall
      nevertheless remain enforceable, (e) this Amendment may be executed in any
      number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signatories had signed
      the
      same document, and all of those counterparts shall be construed together to
      constitute the same document, (f) this Amendment is a “Loan
      Paper”
      referred to in the Credit Agreement, and the provisions relating to Loan Papers
      in Section
      14
      of the
      Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, (g) this Amendment,
      the
      Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, and the other Loan Papers
constitute
      the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supercede
      any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating
      to
      the subject matter hereof, and (h) except as provided in this Amendment, the
      Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Papers are unchanged and are
      ratified and confirmed.

    VAIL
      RESORTS, INC.

    RESTRICTED
      SHARE AGREEMENT

     

     

    THIS
      AGREEMENT, dated as of [date], is between Vail Resorts, Inc., a Delaware
      corporation (the “Company”), and [name of employee] (the
“Employee”).

     

    WHEREAS,
      the Employee has been granted the following award under the Company’s [insert
      applicable plan] Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan (the
“Plan”);

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained
      herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree
      as follows.

     

    1.  Award
      of Shares.  Pursuant
      to the provisions of the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by
      reference, the Employee is hereby awarded [number of shares] Restricted Shares
      (the “Award”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and those herein
      set forth. The Award is granted as of [date] (the “Date of Grant”). Capitalized
      terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings set forth in the
      Plan.
      In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan
      shall
      control.

     

    2.  Terms
      and Conditions.  It
      is understood and agreed that the Award of Restricted Shares evidenced hereby
      is
      subject to the following terms and conditions:

     

    (a)  Vesting
      of Award.
      Subject
      to Section 2(b) below and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement,
      this Award shall become vested in three equal annual installments, commencing
      on
      the first anniversary of the Date of Grant and continuing on each of the
      following two anniversaries of the Date of Grant. Unless otherwise provided
      by
      the Committee, all dividends and other amounts receivable in connection with
      any
      adjustments to the Shares under Section 4(c) of the Plan shall be subject to
      the
      vesting schedule in this Section 2(a). 

     

    (b)  Termination
      of Service; Forfeiture of Unvested Shares.
      In the
      event of a termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company and its
      Subsidiaries prior to the date the Award otherwise becomes vested, the unvested
      portion of the Award shall immediately be forfeited by the Employee and become
      the property of the Company. 

     

    (c)  Certificates.  Each
      certificate or other evidence of ownership issued in respect of Restricted
      Shares awarded hereunder shall be deposited with the Company, or its designee,
      together with, if requested by the Company, a stock power executed in blank
      by
      the Employee, and shall bear a legend disclosing the restrictions on
      transferability imposed on such Restricted Shares by this Agreement (the
“Restrictive Legend”). Upon the vesting of Restricted Shares pursuant to
      Section 2(a) hereof and the satisfaction of any withholding tax liability
      pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the certificates evidencing such vested
      Shares, not bearing the Restrictive Legend, shall be delivered to the Employee
      or other evidence of vested Shares shall be provided to the
      Employee.

     

    (d)  Rights
      of a Stockholder.  Prior
      to the time a Restricted Share is fully vested hereunder, the Employee shall
      have no right to transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber such
      Restricted Share. During such period, the Employee shall have all other rights
      of a stockholder, including, but not limited to, the right to vote and to
      receive dividends (subject to Section 2(a) hereof) at the time paid on such
      Restricted Shares.

     

    (e)  No
      Right to Continued Employment.
      This
      Award shall not confer upon the Employee any right with respect to continuance
      of employment by the Company nor shall this Award interfere with the right
      of
      the Company to terminate the Employee’s employment at any time.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    3.  Transfer
      of Shares.
      The
      Shares delivered hereunder, or any interest therein, may be sold, assigned,
      pledged, hypothecated, encumbered, or transferred or disposed of in any other
      manner, in whole or in part, only in compliance with the terms, conditions
      and
      restrictions as set forth in the governing instruments of the Company,
      applicable federal and state securities laws or any other applicable laws or
      regulations and the terms and conditions hereof. 

     

    4.  Expenses
      of Issuance of Shares.
      The
      issuance of stock certificates hereunder shall be without charge to the
      Employee. The Company shall pay any issuance, stamp or documentary taxes (other
      than transfer taxes) or charges imposed by any governmental body, agency or
      official (other than income taxes) by reason of the issuance of
      Shares.

     

    5.  Withholding.
      No
      later than the date of vesting of (or the date of an election by the Employee
      under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to) the Award granted
      hereunder, the Employee shall pay to the Company or make arrangements
      satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of any federal, state or local
      taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld at such time with respect
      to
      such Award and the Company shall, to the extent permitted or required by law,
      have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the
      Employee, federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be
      withheld at such time. The Employee may elect to have the Company withhold
      Shares to pay any applicable withholding taxes resulting from the Award, in
      accordance with any rules or regulations of the Committee then in
      effect.

     

    6.  References.  References
      herein to rights and obligations of the Employee shall apply, where appropriate,
      to the Employee’s legal representative or estate without regard to whether
      specific reference to such legal representative or estate is contained in a
      particular provision of this Agreement.
