WHEREAS, CG-MI Vail, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("CGMI"), owns the remaining fifty-one percent (51.0%) membership interest in Resort;

WHEREAS, Resort is the manager and sole member of Bachelor Gulch Holding Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Holding");

WHEREAS, Holding is the sole member of Bachelor Gulch Operating Company, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Operating");

WHEREAS, Operating is the owner of, among other things, a hotel known as The ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Bachelor Gulch located in Bachelor Gulch, Eagle County, Colorado (the "Property");

WHEREAS, Operating pledged its interest in the Property to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brothers Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Lender"), to secure repayment of a loan (the "Loan") in the original principal amount of sixty-three million dollars ($63,000,000), made by Lender to Operating;

WHEREAS, the Property is operated for Operating by The ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Hotel Company, L.L.C. ("R-C") pursuant to that certain operating agreement between Operating, as owner, and R-C, as operator, dated December 7, 2000 (as amended, the "Hotel Operating Agreement"); and

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell, assign, convey and transfer to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase, acquire and accept from Seller, the Membership Interests in Resort, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

1. Purchase and Sale. On the Closing Date (defined below), Seller shall sell, assign, convey and transfer to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase, acquire and accept from Seller, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Membership Interests.

2. Purchase Price. The total purchase price (the "Purchase Price") to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the Membership Interests shall be thirteen million dollars ($13,000,000). The Purchase Price is a fixed price and, except as provided in Section 14 below, shall not be subject to proration or adjustment for (i) accounts receivable, accounts payable, trade payables, room revenues, or other items of income and expense attributable to the Property that would normally be prorated in connection with the sale of a hotel, or other assets and liabilities of Operating (or Resort, to the extent different from those of Operating), or (ii) any cash flow distributions, reimbursements, surplus, profits or other payments or distributions attributable to the Membership Interests. The Purchase Price is to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the Closing (defined below).

3. Assignment of Membership Interests. At the Closing, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer and convey the Membership Interests to Purchaser by execution and delivery of the Agreement of Assignment, Withdrawal and Amendment (the "Membership Interests Assignment") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Membership Interests, at the time of the Closing, shall be assigned, conveyed and transferred to Purchaser free and clear of any liens, encumbrances, options or claims of any kind or character, subject only to the terms of the Operating Agreement of Resort and the documents executed in favor of Lender which evidence or secure the Loan.

4. Assignment of Accounting Services Agreement. Subject to Purchaser obtaining the written approval of CGMI, Seller shall, simultaneously with the Closing, assign and transfer to Gencom Asset Management Company, L.P. ("GAMC") all of Seller's right, title and interest in, under and to that certain Accounting Services Agreement (the "Accounting Agreement"), dated June 28, 2004, by and between Seller and Operating, free and clear of any liens, security interests, encumbrances, or claims of any kind or character, by execution and delivery of the Assignment of Accounting Services Agreement (the "Accounting Assignment") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Notwithstanding Seller's assignment of such Accounting Agreement to GAMC, Seller shall, at GAMC's election, continue to provide the consulting services required under the Accounting Agreement for a period of up to, but not in excess of, six (6) months following the Closing. Purchaser shall deliver, or cause GAMC to deliver, to Seller, at or prior to Closing, written notice specifying the duration (not to exceed the six (6) month period immediately subsequent to the Closing) of Seller's continued performance of such consulting services. As compensation for Seller's continued performance of such consulting services, Seller shall receive monthly payments in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual Fee (as defined in the Accounting Agreement) for each month during which Seller continues to render consulting services; provided, however, if the period of Seller's continued performance of such consulting services shall cover only a partial month, then Seller shall be entitled to receive for such partial month an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual Fee multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days Seller continues to provide such consulting services during such month and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such month. Such payments shall be due on or before the twentieth (20th) day of the month immediately following the month during which Seller performed the services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 4 shall survive the Closing.

If the Deposit is to be returned to Purchaser in accordance with this Section 15(b), Seller shall promptly, on written request from Purchaser, execute and deliver such documents as may be required to cause the escrow agent to return the Deposit to Purchaser.
  3. Purchaser's Default. Subject to Force Majeure, if, due to circumstances other than Seller's failure to perform any term or condition of this Agreement binding on Seller, Purchaser fails to timely perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser written notice detailing Purchaser's failure of performance. Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days from receipt of such notice from Seller within which to remedy the failure of performance.
  4. Seller's Remedies. If at the expiration of the curative period described in Section 15(c) above, Purchaser has not cured such failure of performance (a "Purchaser Default"), then Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement for such Purchaser Default, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Purchaser prior to or at the Closing, whereupon neither party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder and the escrow agent shall pay the Deposit, if any, to Seller.
  5. CGMI's Right of First Refusal; Automatic Termination. The Second Amendment to that certain Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Bachelor Gulch Resort, LLC dated July 31, 2000 (the "Second Amendment") provides CGMI a right of first refusal to purchase Seller's Membership Interest (the "Right of First Refusal"). Should CGMI exercise the Right of First Refusal in accordance with the Second Amendment, this Agreement shall terminate automatically, whereupon neither party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder and the escrow agent shall refund the Deposit, if any, to Purchaser.

16. Fire and Other Casualty.

  2. Seller shall give Purchaser prompt written notice of any proposed or threatened Taking, whether under power or eminent domain or otherwise, which affects or threatens to affect all or any portion of the Property. Such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of any written notice received by Seller in connection such proposed taking.

18. AS/IS. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it is acquiring the Membership Interests "AS/IS". Purchaser is not relying upon any information, pro formas, financial statements or other documents prepared or furnished to Purchaser by Seller, or any representations and warranties of Seller (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Membership Interest Assignment or any other instruments to be delivered by Seller to Purchaser in connection with the Closing) with respect to the Membership Interests or the Property.

19. Brokers/Commissions.
