‘competent in all respects to testify regarding the matters set forth herein,

3. GPCC owns arid operates the Park City Mountain Resott (the “Resort”)
4, Anmexed hereto as Exhibit 1 is a true and correct copy of the-Resort Area Lease,
hited as of January 1, 1971, as referenced in paragraph 15 of the Amended Complaint in this
‘case, together with all amendments thereto,
5,. Amnexed hereto'as Exhibit 2 is a true and correct copy of the Crescent Ridge
Lease; dated. as of May 1, 1975, as referenced in paragraph 18 of the Amended Complaint,
‘together with all amendments thereto.
6, The Resort Area Lease and the Crescent Ridge Lease (collectively, the “Leases”)
cover approximately 3,700 acres of land (the “Leased Premises”).
7, Since the eatly 1970's, GPCC has operated the Resort onthe Leased Premises and
other lands. It 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. In doing so it has invested over $100 million on the Leased
Premises since the eafly 1970°s. Without the Leased Premises, the Resort could not operate,
because the Leased Premises comprise most of the Resort’s skiable terrain,
8. Although much of the Resort's skiable terrain is covered by the Leases, the
Resort's base facilities, parking facilities and Town Lift base facilities are located on lands
owned in fee by GPC and its affiliates. GPCC owns outright the water, snowmaking and sewer
infrastructure necessary for the operation of the Resort.17, After the Resort refused 0

Resort would be unable to make the types of capital improvements necessary for a successful ski
resort, and the increased costs would drive the Resort out of the market.

correct to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief.
