IN THE THIRD JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT IN AND FOR SUMMIT COUNTY STATE OF UTAH GREATER PARK CITY COMPANY, a Utah corporation, and GREATER PROPERTIES, INC., a Delaware corporation, Plaintiffs/Counterclaim Defendants, vs. UNITED PARK CITY MINES COMPANY, a Delaware corporation, and TALISKER LAND HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, et al., Defendants/Counterclaimants.

DEFENDANTS UNITED PARK CITY MINES COMPANY AND TALISKER LAND HOLDINGS, LLCS REPLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT ON THEIR UNLAWFUL DETAINER COUNTERCLAIM AND AN ORDER OF RESTITUTION

Case No. 120500157 Judge Ryan Harris

SUMMARY Nearly three years after their Leases expired, GPCC/GPI remain in unlawful possession of Taliskers land, reaping millions of dollars of profit each year and continuing to deprive Talisker of the beneficial use of its own property. Plaintiffs Opposition makes clear that they will go to great lengths to keep prolonging this litigation as long as possible solely to delay the consequences of their own poor business decisionsfirst their mistake in failing to renew their below-market Leases, and then their compounding that mistake by choosing to abandon negotiations with Talisker and instead tie the land up in litigation. The unlawful detainer statute should foreclose any further delay by Plaintiffs. It provides for immediate enforcement of an order of restitution upon entry of a judgment of unlawful detainer. See Utah Code 78B-6-811. As the Supreme Court has explained, the unlawful detainer statute exists to provide a speedy resolution on the issue of possession. Osguthorpe v. Wolf Mountain Resorts, LC, 2010 UT 29, 23, 232 P.3d 999 (citations omitted). GPCC/GPIs efforts to further delay their eviction, based only on ancillary issues that do not support any right to remain in possession, should be rejected. First, as discussed in Section I, there are no disputed issues of material fact with respect to any of the elements of unlawful detainer, all of which will be easily met if the Court declines to excuse Plaintiffs failure to renew their Leases. Second, as discussed in Section II, the motion is timely and the question of unlawful detainer is ripe for adjudication. Even if Plaintiffs were ultimately to prevail on their claims asserting a violation of the prohibition on sale (POS) and right of first refusal (ROFR), those claims have no bearing on the question of Taliskers right of possession. Plaintiffs have 2

conceded that their POS and ROFR rights were extinguished in August of 2013 by Taliskers notice to quit and are no longer in effect. Transcript of April 8, 2014 Hearing, p.106, lines 18 to 25. And they have conceded that nothing prevents Talisker and Vail from re-entering the same transaction today, at least with regard to the improved portions of the land which is where the resort actually operates. Id. p. 107, lines 18 to p. 108 line 2. As to the unimproved portions of the land, they claim only a chance to negotiate for those lands with the leverage of having the Vail-Talisker transaction unwound and no right to continuing possession flows from that. Id. p. 109 lines 1423. Whatever the results of the pending motions concerning the prohibition on sale and right of first refusal, they can be dealt with later as needed and should not further frustrate Taliskers current right to be restored possession of all of its lands. Third, as discussed in Section III, GPCC/GPIs arguments that they should retain possession until the Court adjudicates their claim that they can remove the ski lifts before they vacate are wrong and premature. Utah Code 78B-6-812(1) and (2)(b) provide for a hearing, held within 10 days after issuance of the restitution order, at which the Court can decide whether GPCC/GPI are entitled to remove the lifts. In other words, adjudication of this type of ancillary dispute comes after the order of restitution is issued; it is not a basis for delaying issuance of the order itself. Fourth, as discussed in Section IV, GPCC/GPIs argument that the Court cannot rule on this unlawful detainer motion until after an appellate court reviews all of the Courts rulings in this case puts the cart before the horse. Questions about whether GPCC/GPI will be entitled to seek interlocutory appeal, whether the Court should stay eviction pending appeal, and the 3

amount of bond required were it to do so, are not before the Court on this motion. The only question before the Court is whether it should enter partial summary judgment in favor of Talisker on its unlawful detainer counterclaim and issue an order of restitution requiring GPCC/GPI to vacate the premises. If GPCC/GPI choose to appeal the Courts decision, or seek a stay of the order, there is a clearly prescribed process for seeking such relief.

RESPONSE TO GPCC/GPIS STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL FACTS None of GPCC/GPIs additional facts relates in any way to the elements of unlawful detainer or whether Talisker has a right to be restored possession of the property. They are immaterial to Taliskers motion. Taliskers response to GPCC/GPIs additional facts is attached as Exhibit A. ARGUMENT I. THERE ARE NO DISPUTED FACTS RELEVANT TO UNLAWFUL DETAINER AND AN ORDER OF RESTITUTION.

The statutory elements of unlawful detainer are straightforward: (1) the tenant remains in possession of real property; (2) after expiration of the term of the tenants lease or tenancy at will; and (3) after having been duly served with a notice to quit. Utah Code 78B-6-802. Each of these elements is present here. GPCC/GPI remain in possession of Taliskers real property. Taliskers Statement of Undisputed Facts (SOF) 13; Pltfs. Response to Defs. SOF 13. If the Court denies Plaintiffs Motion for Reconsideration and grants Taliskers Motion for Summary Judgment on Plaintiffs Equitable and Nondisclosure Claims, the Court will have determined that the Leases expired.

GPCC/GPI were duly served with a notice to quit on August 28, 2013. SOF 89; Pltfs. Response to Defs. SOF 8-9.

These are the only material facts relevant to this motion, and they are undisputed. Talisker is entitled to judgment as a matter of law in its unlawful detainer claim and, by statute, the automatic result of such a judgment is an order for the restitution of the premises as provided in Section 78B-6-812. See Utah Code 78B-6-811(1)(b).

II.

TALISKERS MOTION IS TIMELY. GPCC/GPI argue that Taliskers motion was both too late and too early. Neither is

correct. A. Taliskers Motion Is Not Too Late.

GPCC/GPIs assertion that the deadline to file all dispositive motions was February 7, 2014, Pltfs. Opp. Mem. at 8, and that, therefore, Taliskers Motion is late, is not correct. The Courts July 30, 2013 Scheduling Order stated: Dispositive motions on the remaining portions of Plaintiffs First Cause of Action for Declaratory Relief that do not necessarily involve expert discovery shall be filed by February 7, 2014. Scheduling Order from July 30, 2013 Conference at 2 (emphasis altered from original).1 The parties later elected to proceed with dispositive motions on GPCC/GPIs Seventh and Eighth Causes of Action alleging violations of the prohibition on sale/right of first refusal provisions on the same schedule. This motion does not relate to Plaintiffs First, Seventh or Eighth Causes of Action, but rather to Taliskers unlawful

By comparison, the order also stated that: Fact discovery on all claims, including the claims added via the Second Amended Complaint, shall be completed by January 17, 2014. Scheduling Order from July 30, 2013 Conference at 2 (emphasis altered from original). 5

detainer counterclaim, which was not discussed at the July 30th conference and was not even filed until October 28, 2013. Moreover, the motion was promptly filed on March 14, 2014, following the Courts denial of GPCC/GPIs motion to dismiss the unlawful detainer claim on February 20, 2014, and GPCC/GPIs filing of their answer on Thursday, March 6, 2014 admitting that they continue to occupy and possess the Leased Premises. Reply to Paragraphs 66-81 of the Counterclaims of UPCM and TLH, dated March 6, 2014, at 69. The motion is timely. B. Taliskers Motion Is Not Premature.

GPCC/GPI assert that Taliskers motion is premature because the Court has not yet adjudicated their motion for reconsideration, nor has the Court ruled on Taliskers motion for partial summary judgment on GPCC/GPIs claims of waiver and estoppel. Talisker agrees that the outcome of those motions will determine whether the second element of unlawful detainer is satisfied i.e., whether GPCC/GPIs Leases expired. The Court heard those motions on April 3, and if the Court rules in Taliskers favor, then all elements of unlawful detainer will have been met and this motion will be ready for adjudication. Accordingly, all of the parties agreed that a Hearing on this motion should be set for the earliest available date after the Court decides the motions that were heard on April 3. GPCC/GPI also assert that Taliskers motion is premature because the Court has not yet ruled on their claims for violation of the POS and ROFR. The Court heard argument on these claims on April 8, and those issues will be also decided before the Court considers this motion. If Talisker prevails, then GPCC/GPIs argument here would be mooted. But, even if the Court

does not grant summary judgment to Talisker on the POS/ROFR claims, the those claims have no bearing on Taliskers current possessory rights. 1. Prohibition on Sale

GPCC/GPI admit that a violation of the POS provision entitles them, at most, to an order unwinding the transfer of ownership and control of all improved portions of the Leased Premises. Pltfs. Opp. Mem. 1; see also Transcript of April 8, 2014 Hearing, pp.106-109 attached as Exhibit B. Even if Plaintiffs obtained such an order, it would not give them any right to be on the property. As GPCC/GPI have stated, it would only, at best, give them another chance to negotiate for the unimproved lands with the leverage of having the Vail-Talisker transaction unwound. Id. at p. 109 lines 1423. But neither Talisker, nor any of its parent companys members, has any interest in selling or re-leasing any portion of the premises to GPCC/GPIboth have made clear that they believe the Vail transaction to be in Taliskers best interests. See Bistricer Decl. at 5-6 and Iannazzo Decl. at 6-8, attached as Exhibits C and D. Talisker and its parent company members all unequivocally desire to promptly evict Plaintiffs from the premises and allow Vail to begin operations on the property. See Bistricer Decl. at 8 and Iannazzo Decl. at 7. Talisker and its parent company members view the agreement they were able to achieve with VR CPC Holdings as more beneficial than any agreement that could be achieved with GPCC/GPI, which had already rejected Taliskers proposed new lease terms and abandoned any further negotiations long before discussions with Vail began. See Bistricer Decl. at 5-6 and Iannazzo Decl. at 6, 8. Plaintiffs wish, despite 7

clear evidence to the contrary, that Talisker might choose them over Vail as its preferred tenant is no basis for depriving Talisker of its right to immediate possession under the unlawful detainer statute. GPCC/GPI also argue that the Court must determine which of the Defendants, if any, now has the right to possession in light of Defendants alleged violation of paragraph 14 of the Resort Area Lease and paragraph 13 of the Crescent Ridge Lease. Pltfs. Opp. Mem. 12. It is, however, undisputed that TLH is the fee owner of the land. SOF 2. Under the unlawful detainer statute, Utah Code. 78B-6-801(5), it is simply irrelevant whether there was a change in management or control of TLH or its corporate affiliates. As the undisputed owner of the premises, TLH is entitled to be restored to possession of the premises, regardless of who may have an interest in TLH, or what is done with the property after it is restored to TLHs possession. There are no circumstances by which an adjudication of the POS claims could somehow give GPCC/GPI any right to remain in possession of the property. 2. Right of First Refusal

With respect to the ROFR claim, GPCC/GPI argue that their right to obtain unimproved portions of the Leased Premises precludes a determination that they are in unlawful possession of the land. They are wrong for two independent reasons. First, the argument at most affects only the two unimproved portions of the land; even if Plaintiffs were correct, Talisker would still be entitled to an order of restitution for the improved portions of the property. Second, the right of first refusal is legally distinct from a right of possession. See Federal Land Bank of Saint Paul v. Obermoller, 429 N.W.2d 251, 258 (Minn. Ct. App. 1988) (Inferring a right to retain 8

possession until the previous owner is afforded an opportunity to exercise its right of first refusal conflicts with the unlawful detainer statute which expressly allows a party to recover possession.). Assuming that GPCC/GPIs ROFR claims had any merit, and setting aside the fact that Vails ultimate interests in the unimproved portions of the land are a lease and an easement,2 not fee ownership, GPCC/GPIs preemptive rights under the ROFR would come to pass only if they satisfied all of the requirements to exercise the ROFR. It is only at that point that GPCC/GPI would have a right to purchase the unimproved parcels. Plaintiffs right to possession does not exist today, and the preservation of such right for a future adjudication does not preclude immediate restoration of the land to its current owner, Talisker. III. GPCC/GPIS CONTRIVED DISPUTE OVER THE SKI LIFTS HAS NO BEARING ON THE ISSUE BEFORE THE COURT.

GPCC/GPI threaten to remove the components of some, but not all, of the ski lifts on the Resort before they vacate the premises. 3 Under the express terms of the Leases, they are not allowed to do so nor may they do so under the applicable case law.4 Most importantly for the

In the event of a favorable ruling, Vail would only obtain an easement over the White Pine Land, which is a portion of the unimproved land. See Limited Liability Company Agreement of Talisker Land Resolution LLC at 5 and Exh. C (Demising Amendment) 4 (attached as Ex. 18 to 1/31/14 Babbitt Decl. in Support of Defendants Motion for Summary Judgment on Plaintiffs Claim for Violation of the Prohibition on Sale).
3

GPCC/GPI specifically reference the lift towers bolted to concrete footings, the chairs, the chair grips, the bullwheels, the engines, and the counterweights as the ski lift components they will remove. (Pltfs. Opp. Mem. at 11.) 4 According to the Leases, upon termination all buildings, structures, facilities and improvements situated upon and which are affixed to the soil become property of Talisker. Resort Area Lease at 19; Crescent Ridge Lease at 20. Ski lifts are affixed to the soil. See, e.g., Sherburne Corp. v. Town of Sherburne, 207 A.2d 125 (Vt. 1965) (ski lifts were fixtures because the towers were specifically designed according to the topography of the line of the particular lift and the lease contemplated that the lifts could not be removed); King Ridge, Inc. v. 9

purposes of the instant motion, the issue of the ski lifts is ancillary to the question of restitution and, under the statute such matters are to be resolved at a hearing regarding the manner of enforcement, which should be held within ten days after the Court issues an order of restitution. See Utah Code Ann. 78B-6-812(4); Butters v. Jackson, 917 P.2d 87, 88 (Utah Ct. App. 1996) (noting procedural history that challenge to portion of trial courts restitution order that directed tenants to leave their personal property on the premises was decided at enforcement hearing after judgment was rendered). GPCC/GPIs argument has no bearing on the question of possession of the property and does not prevent issuance of an order or restitution. IV. THE UNLAWFUL DETAINER STATUTE REQUIRES ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER OF RESTITUTION REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THAT ORDER IS CERTIFIABLE UNDER RULE 54(b).

In a final effort to delay their eviction, GPCC/GPI argue that even if the Court grants Taliskers motion for summary judgment, the Court should postpone issuing an order of restitution until all claims in the case have been decided and judgment is final within the meaning of Rule 54(b). This argument is foreclosed by the express language of the unlawful Town of Sutton, 340 A.2d 106 (N.H. 1975) (finding the ski lifts, including the towers, terminals, chairs, and cables were part of the real property because they were intimately intertwined with the primary use of the land and that the land could not be used as a ski resort without the lifts); Daugherity v. Von Roll Habegger of America Inc., 1990 WL 300841 (P. Com. Pl.) (explaining that a ski lift is obviously an improvement to real estate); Little v. Nat. Serv. Indus., Inc., 340 S.E.2d 510, 514 (N.C. Ct. App. 1986) (a chair lift with tower legs bolted to poured concrete foundations was a fixture); McKeehan v. Butler Township, 30 Pa. D. & C.3d 105, 1983 WL 167 (Pa. Com. Pl. 1983) (finding that the ski lift is part of the operating ski slope, and that it would be absurd to rule that the lift, foundations for the lift, the cable, and the engine house are not part of the real property); compare with Sunday River Skiway Corp. v. State Tax Assessor, 573 A.2d 24, 25 (Me. 1990) (holding that ski lift equipment was considered personal property at the time it was purchased because it was not yet attached to realty). The Washington case cited by Plaintiffs declined to address the question of whether ski lifts were fixtures, instead holding that ski lifts were improvements to real property. Pinneo v. Stevens Pass, Inc., 545 P.2d 1207, 1209 (Wash. Ct. App. 1976). 10

detainer statute which could not be more explicit regarding the immediacy of eviction. In a section titled Judgment for restitution, damages, and rentImmediate enforcementtreble damages, the statute provides that once a defendant is found to be in unlawful detainer execution upon the judgment shall be issued immediately after the entry of the judgment. Utah Code 78B-6-811(4)(a). The judgment in favor of a plaintiff shall include an order for the restitution of the premises as provided in Section 78B-6-812. Utah Code 78B-6-811(1)(b) (emphasis added). GPCC/GPI also suggest that the Court should withhold issuing an order because they intend to appeal. Such arguments are premature. GPCC/GPIs appellate rights, whatever they may be, will remain available to them once the Court has ruled on the various motions and claims, and are not a basis on which the Court can forego making a decision on this summary judgment motion and the required order for restitution. If GPCC/GPI believe they are entitled to a stay pending an appeal they may seek to bring, then they will need to file a motion pursuant to Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 62, after the Court issues any rulings upon which they seek a stay. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, Talisker is entitled to summary judgment on the issue of possession on its unlawful detainer claim and an order of restitution restoring the Leased Premises to its possession. The process to be followed is clearly prescribed under the unlawful detainer statute, as well as the rules of civil and appellate procedure. If this Court dismisses GPCC/GPIs equitable claims and denies their motion for reconsideration, then: 11

(1)

The Court should grant Taliskers motion for summary judgment on unlawful

detainer and issue an order of restitution. The Leases provide that GPCC/GPI must remove all property from the Leased Premises within sixty days of termination. Resort Area Lease 19; Crescent Ridge Lease 20. Talisker submits that rather than the three days to vacate prescribed by statute, the sixty days reflects the parties bargained for agreement as to what time limit would be reasonable. A proposed order of restitution consistent with Taliskers position is attached as Exhibit E. (2) Upon request, GPCC/GPI will be entitled to a hearing on the manner of

enforcement of the restitution order. Utah Code Ann. 78B-6-812(4). The hearing is to be held within ten days of the request, or as soon thereafter as practicable. Id. Enforcement may be stayed during this period. Utah Code Ann. 78B-6-812(2)(b). Talisker does not believe additional briefing is necessary but the court may see fit to request limited briefing on issues not fully addressed in these motions.5 (3) GPCC/GPI are, of course, free to seek any appeals or stays, to which they are

entitled under the Rules.

Alternatively, if the Court finds that further factual development is required on the issue of the chair lifts (or other improvements), Talisker should be restored to possession in the interim and these issues can be developed and decided later. 12

EXHIBIT A

EXHIBIT A Talisker responds to the factual statements proffered by GPCC/GPI in the Statement of Additional Material Facts included in their Opposition to Defendants Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on their Unlawful Detainer Counterclaim as follows: 1. GPCC has built and maintained on the Leased Premises ski lifts, ski runs, day lodges, restaurants and other winter and summer recreational and resort facilities associated with the operation of a recreational resort. (Mem. in Support of Plfs. Motion for Reconsideration, filed February 7, 2014, Statement of Facts at 4.) In doing so, GPCC has invested over $98 million since 1998 to develop the Resort. (Id.) Defendants Response: Talisker does not dispute that GPCC has made improvements to the Leased Premises, including building and maintaining ski lifts, ski runs, day lodges, restaurants and other winter and summer recreational and resort facilities. These improvements are, however, immaterial to whether GPCC/GPI are in unlawful detainer of Taliskers property. Further, while Talisker does not dispute the general proposition that GPCC spent money to maintain and develop the Resort since 1998, GPCC has not provided proper support for the statement that GPCC has invested over $98 million since 1998 to develop the Resort. 2. Although much of the Resorts ski terrain is covered by the Leases, the Resorts base area, parking facilities, and Town Lift base are owned by GPCC and/or Powdr Corp., and the terrain immediately uphill from the base is owned by non-party PPI and leased by GPCC. (Id. at 5.) GPCC owns outright the water, snowmaking and sewer infrastructure necessary for the operation of the Resort. (Id.) Defendants Response: Undisputed, except it is not accurate that the water, snowmaking and sewer infrastructure necessary for the operation of the Resort is owned by GPCC. First, any water, snowmaking, or sewer infrastructure that is affixed to the soil of the Leased Premises is covered by Paragraph 19 of the Resort Area Lease and Paragraph 20 of the Crescent Ridge Lease, which provide that such fixtures become the property of Talisker upon termination of the Leases. Second, at his deposition, Mr. Bistricer was asked: Q: Could you run

the Powder Corp Mountain Resort as a ski resort without the base facilities owned by Powder? A. Yes, you probably can. Q: How? A. Well, technically. But you can access it through you could access it from the Canyons side, you could access it from the Deer Valley side. And you dont necessary have to get out of the resort to get out onto the base area. Just more terrain. Zimmerman Decl., Ex. 7 (Bistricer Dep. at 136:5-14). Finally, GPCC/GPIs assertions in this paragraph are immaterial to whether GPCC/GPI are in unlawful detainer of Taliskers property. 3. The Resort employs over 1,200 employees and generates hundreds of millions of dollars for businesses and individuals throughout the State by drawing over 1 million local and out-of-state skiers and summer tourists to Utah every year. (Id. at 6.) Defendants Response: Talisker lacks a basis to confirm or deny the truth of this statement. The statement is, however, immaterial to whether GPCC/GPI are in unlawful detainer of Taliskers property. 4. With the exception of the Jupiter Lift, the Thaynes Lift, and the Motherlode Lift all of the ski lifts on the Resort are constructed so that the ski lift towers are bolted to concrete footings but are not otherwise affixed to the land. (See Declaration of Jenni Smith, dated April 1, 2014, filed contemporaneously herewith (Smith Decl.) at 3.) Defendants Response: Talisker does not dispute that some of the ski lift towers are bolted to concrete footings. Under the plain terms of the Leases, and as a matter of law, the ski lifts are buildings, structures, facilities and improvements situated upon and which are affixed to the soil that became the property of Talisker after the Leases expired. Any question regarding the ownership of the ski lifts should be addressed, if necessary, at the statutory hearing regarding the manner of enforcement of the restitution order, and has no bearing on whether Talisker is entitled to the restitution order in the first instance. 5. Should GPCC be required to vacate the Leased Premises, GPCC intends to remove, among other things, the components of the ski lifts on the Resort including but not limited to the lift towers bolted to concrete footings, the chairs, the cables, the chair grips, the bullwheels, the engines, and the counterweights. (See id. at 4.)

Defendants Response: This assertion is not a statement of fact, and GPCCs intent is contrary to the plain terms of the Leases. The ski lifts are buildings, structures, facilities and improvements situated upon and which are affixed to the soil that became the property of Talisker after the Leases expired. Any question regarding the ownership of the ski lifts should be addressed, if necessary, at the statutory hearing regarding the manner of enforcement of the restitution order, and has no bearing on whether Talisker is entitled to the restitution order in the first instance.

THE COURT: Im just MR. QUINN: THE COURT:

So what is that order going to look

I think the order would simply - having a hard time getting my mind

MR. QUINN:

- be that the provisions of that deal

that relate to the PCMR lands would be held to be in violation of the seventh and eighth and therefore would be required to be undone and not any more complicated than that. Youre not going to order what they do next. Lets move over to the Vail

THE COURT: All right. transaction.

Unwinding that seems a little simpler to me in Its

my mind anyway because that hasnt fully ripened yet. contingent in a lot of ways on what happens here.

So if I

were to say, Hey, were going to unwind that deal and go back to how everybody was positioned on May 23, 2013, all right I think I understand that but help me understand what happens next, right? You dont contend Ill give you my - today standing here today, you dont

MR. QUINN: THE COURT:

contend that as of today the prohibition on sale and the right of first refusal are still in effect, do you? MR. QUINN: No, because I do agree that once they

served the notice to quit that that effectively extinguished them. But were not talking about that date. Were talking 106

about going back prior to that date. THE COURT: Correct. So if I unwound it and I

entered an order that said that entire deal that went down in May of 2013 is just void, its done, none of it is good any more, whats MR. QUINN: would have to do that. Yeah, I dont think you necessarily You would simply - you could do that

but I also think that you could sign an order that said that to the extent that the provisions of that deal - remember a great deal of that deal had to do with the Canyons, that its only this other piece, you know, which was obviously important to Katz THE COURT: Fair enough. But lets assume just for

simplicity sake I said the whole thing is just done because you know it affects the whole - I dont know what argument you would make for getting me to do it, just for simplicity hypothetical say, lets say I unwound the entire transaction and said lets just void, its done, ripping it up. Given

you concession that prohibition on sale and the right of first refusal are no longer in effect, whats to prevent those same folks from entering into that same deal the day after my order? MR. QUINN: Your Honor, as I sit here I cant say

that I can say theres anything to prevent that but at that point, given what we now know and what 107

THE COURT:

At least with regard to the prohibition

on sale, I guess I should say. MR. QUINN: What we now know is in fact the

property is greatly encumbered, that its not clear that Vail ever understood how encumbered it was. At that point it may

be that we would be able to negotiate a new deal, I dont know. I dont know. We do know that the property right now

cannot be operated by Vail as a ski resort because it doesnt have access to the key things it needs. So the parties

position has changed and maybe the leverage changes significantly. THE COURT: You think youd have a shot at

negotiating something maybe you couldnt have before? MR. QUINN: THE COURT: Yes, absolutely. What about that argument that Mr.

Shapiro and I engaged in a very brief colloquy about with regard to the ROFR? Assuming that youre right about

everything else leading up to the ROFR, what do I make of the Hawaii Supreme Courts case in Kakowski having to do with ROFR being triggered by an offer to purchase a larger parcel that has two smaller portions in it that are subject to the ROFR? Do you follow my question? MR. QUINN: THE COURT: MR. QUINN: I do follow your question and It was inartful. It seems to me that that finding by the 108

Supreme Court would support our notion that in fact the ROFR has, is triggered, particularly in the circumstance here where you have a ban on sale. The facts there are a little

different because as I understood the facts you have this guy who owns, you know, a piece of land in the middle of a bunch of other land that I think they wanted to expand the golf course. By the way, that (inaudible) golf course is a very nice golf course. I think that is not quite the circumstances we have here. So Im not sure that that portion of the opinion or

the Supreme Courts decision is really all that relevant to the circumstances in this case. THE COURT: I know this hasnt been really briefed

but your position would be that even assuming theyre right that the ROFR only applies to those two, are they red, pink MR. QUINN: THE COURT: MR. QUINN: THE COURT: Reddish pink. Only applies to those two parcels. Right. You think you would still have a right

to purchase those two parcels if in fact everything else fell into place for you here? MR. QUINN: THE COURT: Yes, Your Honor, that is our position. On the same terms as - assuming its a

sale, on the same terms as Vail was able to 109

IN THE THIRD JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT IN AND FOR SUMMIT COUNTY STATE OF UTAH GREATER PARK CITY COMPANY, a Utah corporation, and GREATER PROPERTIES, INC., a Delaware corporation, Plaintiffs, vs. UNITED PARK CITY MINES COMPANY, a Delaware corporation, TALISKER LAND HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, TALISKER LAND RESOLUTION LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, VR CPC HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation, FLERA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, TALISKER CANYONS LEASECO LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, TALISKER CANYONS FINANCE CO LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and JOHN DOE CORPORATIONS 1 THROUGH 10, Defendants.

DECLARATION OF ANTHONY C. IANNAZZO Case No. 120500157 Judge Ryan Harris

I, Anthony C. Iannazzo, a United States citizen over the age of 21 years, hereby state and declare as follows: 1. I have first-hand knowledge of the matters stated in this affidavit, and if called to

do so, could testify competently to them at any hearing. 2. I am an investment professional at V5rde Partners, Inc. ("Varde"), the manager of

Fiera, LLC ("Fiera").

3.

In my capacity as an investment professional at Varde, I have responsibility for

overseeing and managing Flera's investment in TCFC Finance Co LLC (f/k/a Talisker Canyons Finance Co LLC) ("TCFC"). TCFC has two Members, Fiera and TCFC Holding Co LLC. Fiera is presently the Manager of TCFC. 4. Effective June 6, 2013, I was appointed as one of Flera's two representatives on

TCFC's Executive Committee. I have since continued to serve on that Executive Committee. 5. By the time I was appointed to TCFC's Executive Committee, the May 2013

transactions regarding Vail's lease of Canyons Resort and contingent right to lease Talisker Land Holdings, LLC's land underlying Park City Mountain Resort ("PCMR") (the "Lease") had already been executed. 6. Based on my review of the Lease, I believe it was the best transaction for TCFC

and its subsidiaries to undertake and was the best way for TCFC and its subsidiaries to maximize the value from both Canyons and the PCMR land. 7. I understand that Talisker Land Holdings, LLC ("TLH") seeks to evict Plaintiffs

from the land at issue in this case and that PCMR has opposed TLH's pending unlawful detainer action on the ground that, in PCMR's view, there is a lack of clarity as to whether TLH or Fiera should be granted possession of the property. Fiera supports that eviction and would make the same decision to evict PCMR if it were in a position to do so as a result of a ruling from this Court. 8. I also understand that PCMR has sought an order seeking to unwind the May

2013 transaction. While Fiera would, of course, comply with any Court order, Fiera has learned 2

of no new infoiniation that would change its views of the best way for TLH to maximize the value of its assets. I declare under criminal penalty of the State of Utah that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and understanding. Executed on April 7, 2014.
