TFC, in its individual capacity as a Steamboat Construction Project Advance Lender and not as Administrative Agent (TFC, as the advancing lender of the facility hereinafter described in this paragraph 1(i) is referred to herein as the "Special Subordinated Lender"), is prepared to make, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, available to GSRP in conjunction with the Amended LSA a special subordinated loan facility up to a maximum principal amount of $10,600,000 (the "Subordinated Loan Tranche") for the sole purpose, prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date, of financing the Construction Costs necessary to complete all construction of the Steamboat Project in accordance with the supplemented Plans for such Project (the "Supplemented Plans"), which shall reflect the originally approved Plans for the Steamboat Project and such modifications thereto as are described on Attachment 2 hereto (the "Steamboat Plan Modifications"), and financing certain Nonconstruction Costs as provided for in the Second Amendment Agreement prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date and, on and after the Third Amendment Effective Date and prior to April 30, 2004, of providing certain working capital financing to GSRP up to an aggregate of an additional $635,251.

Section 1(j) of the Existing SOI. Section 1(j) of the Existing SOI is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: (j) Attachments. The Subordinated Loan Tranche is to be evidenced by one or more amendment attachments (each an "Amendment Attachment"), substantially in the form of Attachment 4 hereto (as the same may be further amended), to be executed by GSRP and attached to the Steamboat Construction Project Note of TFC. Advances in respect of the Subordinated Loan Tranche ("Subordinated Loan Tranche Advances") would be deemed by GSRP and TFC to be Steamboat Construction Project Advances under the Existing LSA and would be secured by all of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Steamboat Assignment of Architect's Contract, the Steamboat Assignment of Contracts, the Steamboat Assignment of Construction Contract, the Steamboat Assignment of Rents, the Steamboat Assignment of Declarant's Rights, the Steamboat Assignment of Property-Related Contracts, the Steamboat Assignment of Rents, the Steamboat Blanket Mortgage, the Canyons Assignment of Architect's Contract, the Canyons Assignment of Contracts, the Canyons Assignment of Construction Contract, the Canyons Assignment of Rents, the Canyons Assignment of Declarant's Rights, the Canyons Assignment of Property-Related Contracts, the Canyons Assignment of Rents, and the Canyons Blanket Mortgage), provided that: (i) the Subordinated Loan Tranche and all Subordinated Loan Tranche Advances made thereunder by TFC, as the Special Subordinated Lender, would not count as, or be construed as being a part of, Steamboat Construction Project Advance Commitments or any other Commitments (the undertaking of TFC, as the Special Subordinated Lender, to make Subordinated Loan Tranche Advances to GSRP being evidenced solely by this Statement of Intention and Agreement on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth), 2 (ii) the Subordinated Loan Tranche would not be counted as, or be a part of, Steamboat Loan Exposure or other Loan Exposure under the Existing LSA, (iii) TFC, as the Special Subordinated Lender, would not be counted as, or be a part of, the Steamboat Construction Project Required Lenders or any other Project Required Lenders and would not otherwise be counted as or vote as a Lender under the Amended LSA solely in its capacity as the Special Subordinated Lender hereunder, provided, however, the Special Subordinated Lender shall have the right and power to direct the Administrative Agent as the Special Subordinated Lender after the Senior Obligations (as such term is hereinafter defined) are paid in full and for so long as the Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations are outstanding, (iv) Except as set forth in Section 8 of the Seventh Amendment Agreement with respect to cash payment of interest hereunder (which shall rank pari passu with the payment of interest in respect of the Steamboat Loan), the Subordinated Loan Tranche and all Collateral securing the same is and shall be junior and subordinate to (A) the payment of all Loans and other Obligations under the Existing LSA (excluding therefrom the Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations and the Percentage Sales Fees; such Loans and Obligations subject to such exclusions are referred to herein, collectively, as the "Senior Obligations") and (B) the Liens securing the same in the Collateral; it is the intention of GSRP and TFC, as the Special Subordinated Lender, that the rights of the Lenders under the Existing LSA shall not be impaired or prejudiced in any way by this Statement of Intention and Agreement and it is further the view of GSRP and TFC, as the Special Subordinated Lender, that the availability of the Subordinated Loan Tranche is essential to the completion of the construction of the Steamboat Project, the repayment of the Steamboat Loan and the continued performance by GSRP of all of its other undertakings and agreements in the Amended LSA and, accordingly, directly benefits the Lenders under the Amended LSA, and (v) GSRP will collaterally assign to the Special Subordinated Lender (pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Attachment 5 hereto as the same may be amended from time to time) all of its right, title and interest in and to the "Free and Clear Proceeds" described in Paragraph 2(b)(iii)(6) below and GSRP shall authorizes the Administrative Agent to pay such amounts to the Special Subordinated Lender as provided for in said Paragraph. Until all Senior Obligations under the Existing LSA have been paid in full, no proceeds of the Collateral shall be used to repay outstanding principal or deferred interest in respect of the Subordinated Loan Tranche Advances as provided for in paragraph 1(k) hereof; however, to the extent provided for in Section 8 of the Seventh Amendment Agreement, proceeds of Collateral otherwise payable to the Lenders in respect of the Steamboat Project under the Amended LSA shall also be used to pay the "cash interest" due and payable to TFC under Paragraph 1(k) hereof (said cash portion being 10% per annum of the therein stated, fixed rate of interest of 20% per annum), with such cash being paid to TFC hereunder, as the Special Subordinated Lender, at the same time as interest is being paid to TFC, as a Lender to the Steamboat Project under the Amended LSA (with respect to any monthly interest payment due hereunder, the "Cash Interest Payment"). GSRP shall execute and deliver to TFC in exchange for the existing Amendment Attachment, as amended, the following Amendment Attachments: (1) a $5,000,000 Amendment Attachment dated as of July 25, 2000, (2) a $3,000,000 3 Amendment Attachment dated as of July 25, 2000, and (3) a $2,600,000 Amendment Attachment dated as of July 25, 2000. The existing outstanding Subordinated Loan Tranche Advances and related Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations as evidenced by the existing Amendment Attachment, as amended, shall be allocated ratably over the Amendment Attachments listed in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above and all additional Subordinated Loan Tranche Advances made on and after December 31, 2003 shall be evidenced by the Amendment Attachment referred to in clause (3) above. The existing Amendment Attachment, as amended, after giving effect to the foregoing, will be cancelled. 6. Section 1(k) of the Existing SOI. Section 1(k) of the Existing SOI is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: (k) Term Summary. In consideration of TFC's (i) making the Subordinated Loan Tranche available to the GSRP, (ii) not requiring the application of the Steamboat Construction Project Advances Maturity Date to the Subordinated Loan Tranche but rather establishing a separate maturity date with respect thereto of November 30, 2007 (the "Subordinated Loan Tranche Maturity Date"); it being the intention of the parties hereto that the outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated Loan Tranche shall be payable (other than on said maturity date or in the instance of an acceleration of the Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations, as hereinafter defined) only in connection with the receipt by GSRP of "Free and Clear Proceeds" referred to below in Paragraph 2(b)(iii)(6), (iii) making such Subordinated Loan Tranche junior and subordinate to the Loans under the Existing LSA, as provided in Paragraph 2(b)(i) hereof, (iv) not requiring the application of the Default Rate to the Subordinated Loan Tranche, (v) providing for the deferral of interest payments and (vi) allowing the voluntary prepayment of the Subordinated Loan Tranche Advances, in whole (but not in part) at any time, at the sole election of GSRP, and without prepayment or premium of any kind other than the Final Payment Fee and the Sixth Amendment Fees owing to the Special Subordinated Lender and its affiliates together with all other Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations (upon the prepayment in full of the Subordinated Loan Tranche Advances, no further Subordinated Loan Tranche Advances shall be obtainable hereunder), GSRP agrees, as more particularly set forth below, (A) to pay interest on the principal balance of the Subordinated Loan Tranche from time to time outstanding at a rate of interest of twenty percent (20%) per annum, payable monthly in arrears on the 10th day of the month following the month for which such interest accrued (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the first Business Day thereafter), provided that only 50% of the amount of such interest accrued in respect of any month shall be due and payable in cash on such 10th day and the other 50% of such amount of such interest shall automatically be deferred (without the accrual of any further interest thereon) until the Final Payment Date (as defined in subclause (B) immediately below), if no Default or Event of Default 4 under the Existing LSA or default or event of default hereunder shall exist, except that such deferral shall nonetheless still occur notwithstanding the existence of such a Default or Event of Default or such default hereunder if the Senior Obligations shall have not been paid in full; on the Final Payment Date such deferred amount (together with all other deferred amounts of interest hereunder) and all other accrued and unpaid interest shall become due and payable and, (B) to pay the Special Subordinated Lender (1) in installments as provided in Paragraph 2(b)(iii) (3) hereof, a fee of $1,000,000 or such lesser amount as may be required by Paragraph 6(a) hereof (the "Syndication Fee") and (2) in one lump sum a final payment fee (the "Final Fee"), which shall be payable on the earlier of the Subordinated Loan Tranche Maturity Date or the date on which all principal of the Subordinated Loan Tranche is fully paid (such date is referred to herein as the "Final Payment Date"), equal to the sum of the Final Fee Component Amounts for each of the Subordinated Loan Tranche Advances, where a "Final Fee Component Amount" for a Subordinated Loan Tranche Advance shall equal the difference between the original outstanding principal amount of such Subordinated Loan Tranche Advance minus the discounted net present value of each payment of interest and principal in respect of such Subordinated Loan Tranche Advance determined in accordance with customary financial practice by using a discount period of one month and a monthly interest rate equal to 2.083333% (or such lesser rate as may be required by Paragraph 6(a) hereof) and by discounting each such payment of principal and interest from the date on which such payment was made to the date when such Subordinated Loan Tranche Advance was originally extended by the Special Subordinated Lender (for purposes of determining interest to be discounted in respect of any Subordinated Loan Tranche Advance, only the interest payments accruing at 20% per annum thereon shall be included therein and such interest payments shall be deemed paid on the dates on which they are actually paid in cash and any of such interest payments that are deferred, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the Final Payment Date shall be deemed, for purposes of this determination, to have been paid in cash on the First Amendment Effective Date; any other cash payments made in respect of the principal amount of any outstanding Subordinated Loan Tranche Advance made after the First Amendment Effective Date shall be deemed to have been made on the First Amendment Effective Date for purposes of calculating the Final Fee Component Amount in respect of such Subordinated Loan Tranche Advance); no interest shall accrue on the unpaid portion of the Final Fee; (C) Pursuant to the Second Amendment Agreement, the Subordinated Lender eliminated the "Participation/Syndication Costs" and "Steamboat/Canyons Construction Loan Participation/Syndication Costs," under, and as defined in, the First Amendment Agreement. 5 7.

The Subordinated Loan Tranche shall be available, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent applicable to a withdrawal request in respect of Excess Projects' Cash Proceeds under the Sixth Amendment Agreement and the other conditions precedent set forth below in this Statement of Intention and Amendment, in multiple Subordinated Loan Tranche Advances. The proceeds of such Advances shall be used to pay for working capital expenses in the applicable Schedule of Expenses; any repayment of principal of any Subordinated Loan Tranche Advance shall not be available to be reborrowed hereunder. The Special Subordinated Lender hereby waives any requirement of a Reserve as otherwise originally required under the Existing SOI. 8. Section 2(a) of the Existing SOI. Section 2(a) of the Existing SOI is amended and restated in its entirety as follows: Subject to the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to any withdrawal request by GSRP under Section 6 of the Sixth Amendment Agreement and subject to the other conditions precedent set forth in Paragraph 3 hereof, the Special Subordinated Lender agrees to make Subordinated Loan Tranche Advances to GSRP from the date hereof to and including April 30, 2004 (x) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $10,600,000 (with only $635,251 of such amount being available to be advanced on and after the Third Amendment Effective Date), and (y) in an aggregate principal amount that, when aggregated with the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Obligations owing to the Special Subordinated Lender, does not exceed $41, 221,260.03 at any time. Each Subordinated Loan Tranche Advance shall be a part of the Subordinated Loan Tranche and the Subordinated Loan Tranche shall be deemed to be a part of the credit extended to GSRP under the Steamboat Loan by the Special Subordinated Lender (as a Steamboat Construction Project Advance Lender) pursuant to the Existing LSA, and GSRP shall execute and deliver to the Special Subordinated Lender an amendment attachment or amendment attachments (substantially in the form of Attachment 4 hereto, as amended from time to time) to its Steamboat Note (to be affixed thereto by the Special Subordinated Lender) to evidence such Subordinated Loan Tranche (or portion or portions thereof) and each Subordinated Loan Tranche Advance to be made thereunder, provided that (a) Limitations of Subordinated Loan Tranche Advances -- no principal advanced by the Special Subordinated Lender in respect of the Subordinated Loan Tranche shall (i) qualify as Steamboat Loan Exposure, (ii) count as Steamboat Construction Project Advance Commitments, (iii) be included in any determination as to whether the Steamboat Loan or the Steamboat Project Construction Advances have, in the aggregate, exceeded the Steamboat Construction Project Borrowing Base, 6 (iv) entitle the Special Subordinated Lender to vote any principal amount or other amounts outstanding in respect of the Subordinated Loan Tranche for any purpose under the Existing LSA (unless all of the Senior Obligations under the Existing LSA have been fully and finally paid), (v) enable the Special Subordinated Lender, as such, to claim the status as being one of the Steamboat Required Lenders, one of the Required Parties or the right to vote on any issue requiring unanimous consent of all Lenders or Steamboat Construction Project Lenders under the Existing LSA (unless all of the Senior Obligations under the Existing LSA have fully and finally been paid), (vi) claim any fees or rights to be reimbursed for any costs and expenses as a Steamboat Lender or a Lender under the Existing LSA (unless all of the Senior Obligations under the Existing LSA have fully and finally been paid), (vii) enable the Special Subordinated Lender to be able to claim a share of the Collateral or any proceeds in respect thereof except as it otherwise would be entitled to claim as a Lender or the Administrative Agent under the Existing LSA or as set forth in Paragraph 2(b)(ii), Paragraph 2(b)(iii)(6) or Paragraph 2(b)(iii)(8) below or as otherwise allowed under Section 8 of the Seventh Amendment Agreement, or (viii) cause the outstanding principal balance of the Loans (including the outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated Loan Tranche) to exceed the Maximum Outstanding Loan Limit under the Amended LSA. 9.

for the avoidance of doubt and subject to the terms and provisions of Paragraph 2(b)(i) hereof, GSRP hereby grants to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Special Subordinated Lender a security interest and Lien in and to the Collateral to secure the payment and/or performance of all of the Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations;

(f) No right of any holder of Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations to enforce its rights in respect of the Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of such holder, or by any non-compliance by GSRP with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Attachment, regardless of any knowledge thereof that such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. Nothing herein shall prohibit or prevent any holder of Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations from enforcing any right or remedy hereunder or at law or equity in respect of Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations (subject to the obligations hereunder of such holder to turn over the net proceeds therefrom to the holders of the Senior Obligations). (g) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of the Senior Obligations may, at any time and from time to time (without the consent of or notice to any holder of Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations, without incurring responsibility to the holders of Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations, without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Attachment and without releasing the obligations hereunder of GSRP or any such holder of Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations), (1) amend or modify in any way or manner any payment, provision, document or covenant relating to the Senior Obligations (whether or not such payment, provision, document or covenant also relates to the Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations), (2) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any Property pledged, assigned or mortgaged to secure, or otherwise securing, the Senior Obligations, or any guarantee of the Senior Obligations (whether or not such property also relates to the Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations); and (3) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against GSRP, the Collateral under the Existing LSA and any other Person (whether or not such rights also relate to the Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations), provided that nothing in this sentence shall authorize such holders to modify any rights that the Special Subordinated Lenders may have under Section 8 of the Seventh Amendment Agreement without its prior written consent. The Borrower and each other holder of Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations waive any right to require the holders of the Senior Obligations to marshal any assets in favor of the holders of Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations or against or in payment of any or all of the Senior Obligations. (h) No holder of Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations shall be subrogated to the rights of any holder of Senior Obligations to receive payments and distributions of cash, securities or other property applicable to the Senior Obligations until all amounts payable for or on account of the Senior Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. (i) The provisions of this Attachment shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any Senior Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the holders thereof upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. (j) Each holder of Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations, by its acceptance thereof, agrees to take such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effectuate, as among the holders of Senior Obligations, the holders of Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations and the 14 Borrower, the subordination provided in this Attachment. (k) The provisions of this Attachment may not be amended, modified or waived without the prior written consent of the holders of Senior Obligations. The provisions set forth in this Attachment constitute a continuing agreement and shall (A) be and remain in full force and effect at any time, and from time to time, during which any Senior Obligation shall remain outstanding, (B) be binding upon the Borrower and each holder of Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations and their respective successors, transferees and assigns, and (C) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable, in accordance with the terms hereof, directly by, the holders of Senior Obligations and their respective successors, transferees and assigns, against each holder of Subordinated Loan Tranche Obligations and the Borrower. 12. Waiver. Upon this Third Amendment Agreement becoming effective on the Third Amendment Effective Date and subject to the proviso to this sentence, each Default and/or Event of Default existing on the Third Amendment Effective Date and arising from or otherwise in respect of (a) the failure of GSRP to make principal payments under the Existing LSA such that the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Advances under the Existing LSA would not exceed $30,000,000 by June 29, 2003, as provided for in Section 2.5(c)(iii) of the Existing LSA, (b) the failure of GSRP to make principal payments under the Existing LSA such that the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Advances under the Existing LSA would not exceed $25,000,000 by June 30, 2003, as provided for in Section 2.5(c)(iii) of the Existing LSA, and (c) the failure of GSRP to make principal payments under the Existing LSA such that the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Advances under the Existing LSA would not exceed $20,000,000 by June 30, 2003, as provided for in Section 2.5(c)(iii) of the Existing LSA are, in each case, hereby waived. No other Default or Event of Default (whether occurring prior to the date hereof or hereafter) shall be deemed waived, and the Special Subordinated Lender reserves all of its rights and remedies under the Amended LSA, the other Security Documents, the Amended SOI, at law and in equity with respect thereto. 13. Miscellaneous Amendments. Each reference to "$10,000,000" in the Existing SOI and the Collateral Assignment of Free and Clear Proceeds, dated as of July 25, 2000, as amended, is hereby amended to be "10,600,000." Attachment 4 to the Existing SOI is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto. 14. Representations and Warranties. GSRP hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof as follows, which representations and warranties are hereby incorporated into and made part of the Amended SOI: 14.1 Except as set forth in Schedule 2 hereto, each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4 of the Existing SOI is true and correct as of the date hereof. 14.2 Except with respect to the Permitted Exceptions, all Liens granted to TFC under the Existing SOI and the other Security Documents are duly granted, valid, perfected and prior in right to all other Liens that now or hereafter may be granted to or held by any other Person. 14.3 The execution and delivery of this Third Amendment Agreement, the Seventh Amendment Agreement, the Modification Documents and the other documents and instruments contemplated herein and in the Seventh Amendment Agreement, and compliance by GSRP with all of the provisions of this Third Amendment Agreement, the Existing SOI, as amended hereby, and each of the other documents set forth above are: 15 (i) within the corporate powers of GSRP; (ii) valid and legal acts and will not conflict with, or result in any breach in any of the provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any Property of GSRP under the provisions of, any agreement, charter instrument, bylaw or other instrument to which GSRP is a party or by which its Property may be bound. 14.4 Neither the nature of GSRP, nor of any of its businesses or Properties, nor any relationship between GSRP and any other Person, nor any circumstance in connection with the execution or delivery of this Third Amendment Agreement and the other documents contemplated in connection herewith, nor the operation of any Project and the sale, or offering for sale, of any Quartershare Interest of any of the Projects by GSRP, is such as to require a consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any governmental authority on the part of GSRP, as a condition of the execution, delivery or performance of this Third Amendment Agreement, the Seventh Amendment Agreement, and the other documents contemplated in connection herewith. 14.5 GSRP will not be, on or after the date hereof, a party to any contract or agreement which restricts its right or ability to incur indebtedness under, or prohibits the execution of, or compliance with, this Third Amendment Agreement by GSRP. GSRP has not agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its Property constituting the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien other than Permitted Exceptions and all Liens in favor of TFC in respect of such Collateral remain in full force and effect. 14.6 GSRP is not entering into this Third Amendment Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and does not intend to incur any obligations hereunder or otherwise make any transfers in connection herewith, with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors. After giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Third Amendment Agreement and the making of the advances contemplated hereunder, (a) the assets of GSRP at a fair valuation thereof on a going concern basis will not be less than its debts, (b) GSRP is not currently engaged in or about to engage in a business or transaction for which its remaining assets are unreasonably small in relation to such business or transaction, and (c) GSRP will be able to pay its respective debts as they become due. "Debt" for purposes of this Section 14.6 means any liability on a claim, and "claim" means (i) any right to payment, whether or not such right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured, or (ii) any right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured. 14.7 After giving effect to this Third Amendment Agreement, no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, nor does any event or condition exist that would constitute a Default or an Event of Default. No material adverse change has occurred in or in respect of the Collateral or any one or more of the Projects that has not been disclosed to TFC. The Obligations continue to be Senior Debt under, and as defined in, the ASC Indenture and no default or event of default exists under such Indenture and no defaults or events of default exist under any other agreement for indebtedness for borrowed money, any financing lease or any guaranty of any 16 of the foregoing to which GSRP is a party. GSRP has not issued and is not otherwise obligated in respect of any obligation of the Parent, American Skiing Company or any subsidiary of American Skiing Company for borrowed-money indebtedness, other than its guaranty of the ASC Indenture, which by its own terms is junior and subordinated to the Obligations. 15.

The words "herein," "hereof," "hereunder" and "hereto" refer to this Third Amendment Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section or other subdivision. 16.4 All warranties, representations and covenants made by GSRP herein or in the Existing SOI or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by it or on its behalf under this Agreement or in the Existing SOI shall be considered to have been relied upon by TFC and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Third Amendment Agreement. 16.5 Except as explicitly amended by, or otherwise provided for in, this Third Amendment Agreement , the Existing SOI, the Notes and the other Security Documents remain in full force and effect under their respective terms as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Third Amendment Agreement, and GSRP hereby affirms all of its obligations thereunder. 16.6 This Third Amendment Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. This Third Amendment Agreement may be executed in counterpart by facsimile signature, which signatures shall be treated as, and shall have the effect of original and manually executed signatures. 18 16.7 GSRP hereby releases, remises, acquits and forever discharges the Administrative Agent and TFC and their respective employees, agents, representatives, consultants, attorneys, fiduciaries, servants, officers, directors, partners, predecessors, successors and assigns, subsidiary corporations, parent corporations, and related corporate divisions (all of the foregoing hereinafter called the "Released Parties"), from any and all actions and causes of action, judgments, executions, suits, debts, claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, damages and expenses of any and every character, whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, asserted or unasserted, direct or indirect, at law or in equity, of whatsoever kind or nature, whether heretofore or hereafter arising for or because of any matter or things done, omitted or suffered to be done by any of the Released Parties prior to and including the date of execution hereof, arising out of or in any way connected with (a) the SOI, the Amended LSA, the Steamboat Note of TFC or the other Notes or Security Documents, as amended from time to time (including, without limitation, this Third Amendment Agreement and the Seventh Amendment Agreement) and (b) the Subordinated Loan Tranche (all of the foregoing hereinafter called the "Released Matters"). GSRP hereby acknowledges that the agreements set forth in this Third Amendment Agreement are intended to be in full satisfaction of all or any alleged injuries or damages arising in connection with the Released Matters.
