1.Required Estoppels.

a. The following Section 5.7 is hereby added immediately after Section 5.6 of the Agreement and the existing Section 5.7 is hereby renumbered to Section 5.8:

“5.7 Condominium Estoppels and Operating Agreement Estoppel. As a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close, Seller shall provide to Buyer estoppel certificates from the Beaver Creek Hotel A Condominium Association, a Colorado non-profit corporation, the Village Hall Condominium Association, a Colorado non-profit corporation and The Vail Corporation, d/b/a Vail Associates, Inc. (i) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibits W, X, and Y, respectively, with all blanks filled in and all exhibits attached, (ii) in the form required to be delivered by the estopping party under the applicable document, or (iii) in another form reasonably acceptable to Buyer. Buyer will not unreasonably withheld, condition, or delay its approval of any reasonable or immaterial revisions requested by the party executing the applicable estoppel, including, without limitation, the removal of lender specific information. This condition shall be deemed satisfied, as to each of parties named in this Section 5.7 upon Seller’s delivery of the required estoppel certificate from each of the named parties.”

b. Section 5.8, as renumbered in accordance with Section 1.a above, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“5.8 Consequence of Failure of a Closing Condition. If Seller has not satisfied the contingencies contained in Section 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7 by the

time of Closing, Seller shall have the right, by delivering written notice to Buyer prior to 3:00 p.m. on the Closing Date to extend the Closing Date for up to ten (10) business days in order to satisfy such conditions to Closing. In no event shall failure to satisfy the conditions contained in Section 5.5, 5.6, or 5.7 constitute a default of Seller under this Agreement. If either Buyer or Seller has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5, then the party exercising its termination rights hereunder shall notify in writing the other party and Escrow Agent of such election (a “Section 5 Termination Notice”) on or before to the Closing Date (or prior to the earlier date which may be required for such termination under the terms of this Agreement), and the specific condition or conditions giving rise to such election. If either party shall deliver a Section 5 Termination Notice, and such notice is accompanied by a demand that Escrow Agent deliver the Deposit to such party, Escrow Agent shall promptly request from the non-requesting party written confirmation that release of the Deposit to the requesting party is acceptable and upon receipt of such written confirmation (or if no written confirmation or objection is received within ten (10) business days of Escrow Agent’s request therefor), Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit, less the Independent Consideration which shall be paid to Seller in all cases, to the requesting party as demanded. If the non-requesting party raises an objection to release of the Deposit, the procedures set forth in the Deposit Escrow Agreement shall govern Escrow Agent’s obligation to release the Deposit hereunder.”

c. Exhibits W, X, and Y attached hereto are hereby added to, and incorporated into, the Agreement.

2.No Due Diligence Period. The parties agree that the Due Diligence Period has expired and Buyer has not delivered a Buyer’s Termination Notice. Buyer shall deposit the Additional Deposit with the Escrow Agent within two (2) business days after the date of this First Amendment. In addition, Section 3.1.8 of the Agreement (and Exhibits “S-1” and “S-2” associated therewith) is hereby deleted in its entirety and is of no further force or effect.

3.Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything in the Contract to the contrary, the “Closing Date” shall mean Friday, March 31, 2017; provided, however, the Closing shall be effective as of 12:01 A.M. Mountain Time on April 1, 2017 for all purposes under the Contract, including, without limitation the allocation of income and expenses from the Property between Seller and Buyer in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Contract and the date set forth in all of Seller’s and Buyer’s deliveries pursuant to Section 6.2.1 and 6.2.2, respectively.

5.Counterparts. To facilitate execution, this First Amendment may be executed in as many counterparts as may be required. It shall not be necessary that the signature on behalf of both parties hereto appear on each counterpart hereof. All counterparts hereof shall collectively constitute a single agreement. Facsimile signatures and/or electronically scanned (.pdf) and emailed signatures shall have the same valid and binding effect as original signatures.
