Subject to, and effective upon, acceptance for payment of the shares tendered in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, including, if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of the extension or amendment, the undersigned agrees to sell, assign and transfer to, or upon the orders of, Blue Ridge all right, title and interest in and to all shares tendered and orders the registration of all shares tendered by book-entry transfer that are purchased under the Offer to, or upon the orders of, Blue Ridge and irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Depositary as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned with respect to the shares with full knowledge that the Depositary also acts as the agent of Blue Ridge, with full power of substitution (the power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), to:

	•		the undersigned understands that tenders of shares pursuant to any one of the procedures described in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase and in the instructions to this Letter of Transmittal will constitute the undersigned’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Offer, including the undersigned’s representation and warranty that (a) the undersigned has a “net long position,” within the meaning of Rule 14e-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in the shares or equivalent securities at least equal to the shares being tendered, and (b) the tender of shares complies with Rule 14e-4;


	•		the undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Depositary or Blue Ridge to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the shares tendered; and

The undersigned understands that the acceptance by Blue Ridge of shares tendered pursuant to any one of the procedures described in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase and in the instructions to this Letter of Transmittal will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and Blue Ridge upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. The undersigned acknowledges that under no circumstances will Blue Ridge pay interest on the purchase price or the cash bonus including, without limitation, by reason of any delay in making payment.

INSTRUCTIONS

FORMING PART OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OUR OFFER

1. Guarantee Of Signatures. Depending on how your shares are registered and to whom you want deliveries made, you may need to have the signatures on this Letter of Transmittal guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution (as defined below). No signature guarantee is required if either:


	•		this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the shares tendered (which, for these purposes, includes any participant in the book-entry transfer facility whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the shares) and payment is to be made directly to the holder, unless the holder has otherwise indicated in the section entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” above, in which case, delivery will not be made to the holder; or


	•		the shares are tendered for the account of a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity which is a member in good standing of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program or a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity that is also an “eligible guarantor institution,” as that term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each such entity, referred to as an “eligible guarantor institution.”

In all other cases, including if you have completed the section entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” above, an eligible guarantor institution must guarantee all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal. The signatures on these documents also may need to be guaranteed. See Instruction 5.

2. Delivery of Letter of Transmittal; Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. For your shares to be properly tendered, EITHER (a) OR (b) below must happen:

(a) the Depositary must receive all of the following at its address above in this Letter of Transmittal before or on the date our Offer expires:

(i) a confirmation of receipt of the shares delivered in accordance with the procedures for book-entry transfer described in this Instruction 2; and

(ii) either (1) a properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, including any required signature guarantees, or (2) in the case of a book-entry transfer, an “agent’s message” of the type described in this Instruction 2; and

(iii) any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal.

(b) You must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedure set forth below.

Book-Entry Delivery. Any institution that is a participant in the book-entry transfer facility’s system may make book-entry delivery of the shares by causing the book-entry transfer facility to transfer shares into the Depositary’s account in accordance with that book-entry transfer facility’s procedures for transfer. Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal or any other required documents to the book-entry transfer facility does not constitute delivery to the Depositary.

Agent’s Message. The term “agent’s message” means a message transmitted by the book-entry transfer facility to, and received by, the Depositary, which states that the book-entry transfer facility has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in the book-entry transfer facility tendering the shares that the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Letter of Transmittal and that Blue Ridge may enforce the agreement against them. Each agent’s message must only be for one tendering holder.

Guaranteed Delivery. If you wish to tender your shares but the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, or if time will not permit all required documents to reach the Depositary before the Offer expires, your shares may still be tendered, if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

•

the tender is made by or through an eligible guarantor institution;

•

the Depositary receives by hand, mail, overnight courier or facsimile transmission, before the expiration date, a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery in the form provided with the Offer to Purchase, including (where required) a signature guarantee by an eligible guarantor institution in the form set forth in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery; and

•

all of the following are received by the Depositary within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the date of receipt by the Depositary of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery:

(a) a Letter of Transmittal relating thereto that has been properly completed and duly executed and includes all signature guarantees required thereon, or an agent’s message,

(b) a book-entry confirmation relating to that transfer, and

The method of delivering all documents, including this Letter of Transmittal and any other required documents, is at your election and risk. If delivery is by mail, we recommend you use registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery.

All tendering shareholders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal, waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance for payment of their shares.

3. Inadequate Space. If the space provided in the box entitled “Description of Shares Tendered” above is inadequate, the number of shares should be listed on a separate signed schedule and attached to this Letter of Transmittal.

4. Unpurchased Shares. If any tendered shares are not purchased or are properly withdrawn, the shares will be credited to the appropriate account maintained by the tendering shareholder at the book-entry transfer facility. In each case, shares will be returned or credited without expense to the shareholder.

5. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal; Exact Signature. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the shares tendered, the signature(s) must correspond exactly with the name(s) on the security position listing without any change whatsoever.

Joint Holders. If the shares tendered are registered in the names of two or more joint holders, each holder must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

Signatures of Fiduciaries. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or any other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, that person should so indicate when signing and must submit proper evidence satisfactory to us of his or her authority to so act.

6. Stock Transfer Taxes. Except as provided in this Instruction 6, no stock transfer tax stamps or funds to cover tax stamps need accompany this Letter of Transmittal. We will pay any stock transfer taxes payable on the transfer to us of shares purchased pursuant to our Offer. If, however, payment of the purchase price and the cash bonus is to be made to, or in the circumstances permitted by the Offer, if unpurchased shares are to be registered in the name of, any person other than the registered holder(s), then the amount of all stock transfer taxes, if any (whether imposed on the registered holder or such other person), payable on account of the transfer to that person will be deducted by the Depositary from the purchase price unless evidence satisfactory to Blue Ridge and the Depositary of the payment of taxes or exemption from payment of taxes is submitted.

7. Special Payment and Delivery Instructions. If a check for the purchase price and the cash bonus of any shares accepted for payment and/or the book entry for any shares not accepted for payment or not tendered are to be issued in the name of someone other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal, or if a check is to be sent and/or shares in book entry are to be returned to someone other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal or to the signer at a different address, the appropriate box in the section “Special Issuance Instructions” on this Letter of Transmittal should be completed and signatures must be guaranteed as described in Instruction 1.

8. Irregularities. All questions as to the number of shares to be accepted, the price to be paid for shares to be accepted, the eligibility for receipt of the cash bonus and the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance for payment of any tender of shares will be determined by us in our sole discretion. Our determination will be final and binding on all parties subject to the rights of shareholders to challenge such determination in a court of competent jurisdiction. We reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of any shares that we determine are not in proper form or the acceptance of or payment for which we determine may be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the Offer or any defect or irregularity in the tender of any particular shares or any particular shareholder. No tender of shares will be deemed to have been properly made until all defects or irregularities have been cured by the tendering shareholder or waived by us. None of us, the Depositary, the Information Agent, or any other person will be under any duty to give notice of any defects or irregularities in any tender, or incur any liability for failure to give any such notice. Our interpretation of the terms of the Offer (including these instructions) will be final and binding on all parties subject to the rights of shareholders to challenge such determination in a court of competent jurisdiction. By tendering shares to us, you agree to accept all decisions we make concerning these matters and waive any right you might otherwise have to challenge those decisions.

9. Questions and Requests for Assistance and Additional Copies. Questions and requests for additional copies of the Offer to Purchase, this Letter of Transmittal or the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be directed to the information agent at the telephone number or address set forth on the back page of each of the Offer to Purchase and this Letter of Transmittal.

10. Federal Income Tax Withholding. To prevent backup federal income tax withholding equal to 28% of the gross payments payable pursuant to the Offer, each U.S. shareholder (as defined below) who is a non-corporate shareholder and who does not otherwise establish an exemption from backup withholding must notify the Depositary of the shareholder’s correct taxpayer identification number (employer identification number or social security number), or certify that that taxpayer is awaiting a taxpayer identification number, and provide various other information by completing, under penalties of perjury, the Form W-9 included in this Letter of Transmittal. If a shareholder properly certifies that such shareholder is awaiting a taxpayer identification number, 28% of any payment during the 60-day period following the date of the Form W-9 will be retained by the Depositary and, if the shareholder properly furnishes his or her taxpayer identification number within that 60-day period, the Depositary will remit the amount retained to such shareholder and will not withhold amounts from future payments under the backup withholding rules. If the shareholder does not properly furnish his or her taxpayer identification number within that 60-day period, the amount retained will be remitted to the IRS as backup withholding and backup withholding will apply to future payments.

If a U.S. shareholder owns the shares through a broker or other nominee who tenders the shares on the shareholder’s behalf, the U.S. shareholder may need to provide an IRS Form W-9 (or other applicable form) to such broker or nominee in order to avoid backup withholding. The U.S. shareholder should consult its broker to determine whether any such forms are required.

With respect to each foreign shareholder (as defined below), if a foreign shareholder tenders shares held in its own name as a holder of record, the Depositary will withhold United States federal income taxes equal to 30% of the gross payments payable to the foreign shareholder unless the Depositary determines that a reduced or zero rate of withholding is applicable pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty or that an exemption is available. In order to obtain a reduced or zero rate of withholding pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty, a foreign shareholder must deliver to the Depositary a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN (or suitable successor form claiming the benefit of the applicable tax treaty) claiming such an exemption or reduction. In order to claim an exemption from withholding on the grounds that gross proceeds paid pursuant to the Offer are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, a foreign shareholder must deliver to the Depositary, before payment is made, a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or suitable successor or substitute form) claiming such exemption or reduction. The appropriate Form W-8 may be obtained from the Depositary or the IRS at its Internet website: www.irs.gov.

A foreign shareholder may be eligible to obtain a refund of all or a portion of any tax withheld if such foreign shareholder meets the “complete termination,” “substantially disproportionate” or “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” tests provided for in Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or if the foreign shareholder establishes that it is entitled to a reduced rate of, or zero, withholding pursuant to any applicable income tax treaty and a withholding was imposed at a higher rate. In any such case, the foreign shareholder will be required to file a U.S. Federal income tax return or claim for refund in order to receive a refund of such excess withholding from the IRS.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a foreign shareholder tenders shares held in a U.S. brokerage account or otherwise through a U.S. broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee, such U.S. broker or other nominee will generally be the withholding agent for the payment made to the foreign shareholder pursuant to the Offer. In some cases, such U.S. broker or other nominee may not withhold 30% U.S. federal gross income tax from the payment if the foreign shareholder certifies that it is not a U.S. person and that it met the “complete termination,” “substantially disproportionate,” or “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” test in respect of the Offer, although receipt of the full payment may be delayed until the certification is provided. Foreign shareholders tendering shares held through a U.S. broker or other nominee should consult such U.S. broker or other nominee and their own tax advisors to determine the particular withholding procedures that will be applicable to them.

As used herein, a “U.S. shareholder” is any shareholder that is:


	•		an individual citizen or resident of the United States;


	•		a partnership or entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;


	•		a corporation or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;


	•		an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of the source of the income; or


	•		a trust if a court within the United States can exercise primary supervision of the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

A “foreign shareholder” is any shareholder that is not a U.S. shareholder.

To comply with IRS Circular 230, you are hereby notified that: (a) any discussion of federal tax issues contained or referred to herein is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used by you, for the purposes of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on you under the Internal Revenue Code; (b) such discussion is written to support the promotion or marketing of the Offer addressed by the written advice herein; and (c) you should seek advice based on your particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

11. Merger with Big Boulder Corporation. Blue Ridge was formerly party to a Security Combination Agreement with Big Boulder Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (“Big Boulder”), pursuant to which the shares of Big Boulder could only be transferred with an equal number of shares of Blue Ridge, and vice versa. On October 31, 2013, Big Boulder merged with and into Blue Ridge, and pursuant to the merger (i) each issued and outstanding common share of Big Boulder was canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive one post-merger Blue Ridge common share; (ii) each issued and outstanding common share of Blue Ridge was canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive one post-merger Blue Ridge common share; (iii) Blue Ridge adopted Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation which set forth, among other things, that (x) the number of authorized shares of common stock of Blue Ridge increased to 6,000,000, (y) the shares of Blue Ridge are uncertificated, and (z) immediately after the merger effective time, every two outstanding post-merger Blue Ridge common shares were combined into and automatically became one post-merger Blue Ridge common share. All shareholders of Blue Ridge must tender their Blue Ridge and Big Boulder shares in order to exchange the shares for post-merger Blue Ridge common shares, in accordance with the letter of transmittal and instructions sent to shareholders in connection with the merger on or about October 31, 2013. If you are also eligible to tender your shares in this Offer and wish do to so, you should comply with the instructions for tendering your shares both in connection with the merger and in this Offer.

Any questions or requests for assistance may be directed to the Information Agent at its telephone number and address set forth below. Requests for additional copies of the Offer to Purchase, this Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery or related documents also may be directed to the Information Agent at its telephone number or address set forth below.
