Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 6, 2005, Churchill Downs California Company (“CDCC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Churchill Downs Incorporated (the “Company”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Bay Meadows Land Company, LLC (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which CDCC will sell, and Purchaser will acquire, the Hollywood Park Racetrack horse racing facility and the Hollywood Park Casino card club casino located in Inglewood, California. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Purchaser will acquire substantially all of the assets of CDCC used in its operation of the Hollywood Park Racetrack which includes land, buildings, improvements and equipment, and the building in which the Hollywood Park Casino is operated and related fixtures (the “Casino Building”) (the acquired assets associated with the Hollywood Park Racetrack and the Casino Building are collectively referred to as the “Assets”). The Assets include approximately 238 acres of land upon which the Hollywood Park Racetrack and the Casino Building are located. The Hollywood Park Casino is leased by CDCC to Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (the “Casino Lease”), along with a license for certain trademarks, logos and tradenames (the “License Agreement”), and the Casino Lease and the License Agreement will be assigned to and assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to the Agreement. The Hollywood Park Casino is operated under a sublease from Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. to Century Gaming Management, Inc. as tenant. Other than the Casino Building and the Casino Lease and License Agreement, the assets related to the Hollywood Park Casino are not owned by CDCC and are not included in the assets to be transferred to Purchaser under the Agreement.

The Purchaser agreed to pay CDCC Two Hundred Sixty Million Dollars ($260,000,000) cash for the Assets, and in addition the Purchaser agreed to assume and perform certain liabilities of CDCC relating to the Assets, subject to certain adjustments contained in the Agreement. Upon execution of the Agreement, the Purchaser paid into escrow Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) as a deposit to be applied to the purchase price at closing, to occur on September 23, 2005 unless extended pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

In the Purchase Agreement, the parties agreed to enter into at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement a reinvestment agreement among the Purchaser, Stockbridge HP Holdings Company, LLC, a subsidiary of the Purchaser, and Churchill Downs Investment Company (the “Reinvestment Agreement”). Pursuant to the Reinvestment Agreement, Churchill Downs Investment Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, will have the option to reinvest in the Hollywood Park Racetrack business, in the event of certain triggering events which would allow the Hollywood Park Racetrack business to engage in electronic gaming, or other significant gaming and/or subsidies not currently authorized.

The Purchase Agreement provides for a liquidated damages payment to CDCC of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) related to the Reinvestment Agreement and other consequential damages arising as a result of lost profits if, prior to three years after the date of closing, the Purchaser terminates the Hollywood Park Racetrack business for reason other than Hollywood Park Racetrack’s allocation of a number of racing dates that is less than the number of racing dates historically allocated to Hollywood Park Racetrack and the Purchaser’s determination that continued operation of the business would be reasonably likely to result in net cash flow (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of zero dollars or less during the current or any following year.

In addition, the Purchaser agreed to make up to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of capital improvements to Hollywood Park Racetrack if the allocation of racing dates to Hollywood Park Racetrack for each of the three years immediately following the closing is not less than the number of racing dates historically allocated to Hollywood Park Racetrack, and if such improvements are not made as required by the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser is obligated to pay CDCC liquidated damages in the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) less the amount actually spent on such improvements.

The Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and conditions, including mutual indemnification provisions relating to the liabilities and obligations of CDCC and Purchaser.

The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Assets for general corporate purposes, which may include the reduction of indebtedness.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement, including the description of the Reinvestment Agreement, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, including the Reinvestment Agreement attached as Exhibit F thereto. A copy of the press release announcing the Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(d) The Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) If the Final Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.7.3 is greater than the Required Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted upwards in an amount equal to the difference between the Final Working Capital and the Required Working Capital, and Buyer shall promptly pay such amount to the Seller; and

(ii) If the Required Working Capital is greater than the Final Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.7.3, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downwards in an amount equal to the difference between the Required Working Capital and the Final Working Capital, and Seller shall promptly pay such amount to the Buyer.

(b) If in any of the three years immediately following the Closing Date, (i) the CHRB shall allocate to Hollywood Park a number of racing dates that is less than the number of racing dates historically allocated to Hollywood Park and (ii) Buyer determines that continued operation of the Racetrack Business would be reasonably likely to result in Net Cash Flow of zero dollars or less during the current or any following year, then Buyer may provide to Seller a written notice of Buyer’s intent to terminate the Racetrack Business (a “Termination Notice”) and, unless Seller notifies Buyer within fifteen (15) days that it disagrees with Buyer’s Termination Notice, may terminate the Racetrack Business. If Seller disagrees with Buyer’s Termination Notice, such dispute shall be resolved by any nationally recognized accounting firm within thirty (30) days after Seller notifies Buyer that it disagrees with Buyer’s Termination Certificate. Buyer shall provide any financial information or other documentation reasonably requested by such accounting firm and Buyer and Seller shall each pay 50% of the costs and expenses of such accounting firm. The decision of such accounting firm shall be final and binding upon Buyer and Seller.

Accordingly, the parties agree that in the event of such termination, Buyer shall pay to Seller the sum of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) as liquidated damages in respect of such termination of the Racetrack Business. Such amount shall be paid within ten (10) days following such termination. Buyer expressly and irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that such amount is fair and reasonable under the circumstances existing as of the date hereof.

44

9.2 Agreements to Indemnify.

9.2.1 General Indemnity.

(a) Seller’s General Indemnity. Effective at and after the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 9, Seller hereby agrees to save, indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless, on an after-tax basis, from and against all Losses incurred by Buyer and Buyer’s employees, directors, officers, shareholders and agents or other representatives (each a “Buyer Indemnified Party” or collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) resulting from (i) a breach of any representation or warranty by Seller contained in this Agreement, (ii) any breach of any covenant of or agreement by Seller contained in this Agreement, or (iii) any Excluded Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall not be in breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement, if prior to the Closing, Buyer had knowledge that such representation or warranty was incorrect or untrue.

(b) Buyer’s General Indemnity. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9, Buyer hereby agrees to save, indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless, on an after-tax basis, from and against all Losses incurred by Seller and Seller’s employees, directors, officers, shareholders and agents or other representatives (each a “Seller Indemnified Party” or collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) resulting from (i) a breach of any representation or warranty by Buyer contained in this Agreement, (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Buyer contained in this Agreement, or (iii) any of the Assumed Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall not be in breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement, if prior to the Closing, Seller had knowledge that such representation or warranty was incorrect or untrue.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the Seller shall not be liable to any Buyer Indemnified Party for any claim for indemnification under Section 9.2.1(a)(i) or Section 9.2.1(a)(ii) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by such party otherwise indemnified against under clauses (i) through (ii) of Section 9.2.1(a), as the case may be, exceeds $1,000,000, (the “Indemnification Threshold”) in which case the Seller shall be liable only for the Losses in excess of such amount; provided that the aggregate amount of such Losses indemnified hereunder by Seller shall not exceed $10,000,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”).

(ii) Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to (x) any Loss to the extent that a specific accrual or reserve for the amount of such Loss was reflected on the Transactions Financial Statement and Balance Sheet or notes thereto or (y) any Loss relating to a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement by Seller, any Affiliate thereof, or any of Seller’s directors, officers, employees, shareholders, agents or other representative to the extent that Buyer proceeds with the Closing notwithstanding knowledge by Buyer or any Affiliate thereof at or prior to the Closing of such breach.



45

(iii) If any Buyer Indemnified Party receives any payment from the Seller in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(a) and the Buyer Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against Seller, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall assign, on a non-recourse basis and without any representation or warranty, such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are reasonably necessary to permit Seller to recover from Potential Contributor the amount of such payment. Any payment received in respect of such claim shall be distributed in the following order of priority: (a) first, to the Buyer Indemnified Party in the amount of the Indemnification Threshold; (b) second, to the Seller in an amount equal to the aggregate payments made by Seller to the Buyer Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, plus costs and expenses incurred in investigating, defending, or otherwise incurred in connection with its rights hereunder; and (c) the balance, if any, to the Buyer Indemnified Party.

(iv) The parties shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which either party has an obligation to indemnify hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability.

(d) Waiver and Release. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, effective as of the Closing, in the absence of fraud or willful misconduct on the part of either party in connection with the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby or by the Transaction Documents, Buyer, on behalf of itself and each of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, on the one hand, and Seller on behalf of itself and each of the Seller Indemnified Parties, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive any rights and claims any of them may have against each other hereunder, whether at law or in equity, relating to the Racetrack Business, the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and/or the Transactions contemplated hereby. The rights and claims waived and released pursuant to this Section 9.2.1(d) include, without limitation, claims for contribution or other rights of recovery arising out of or in any way relating to Environmental Laws, claims for breach of contract, breach of representation and warranty, breach of implied covenants, negligent misrepresentation, any and all other claims for breach of duty, any and all claims, demands, causes of action (including without limitation causes of action based on statutory or common law), losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, expert fees and court costs) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, which Buyer could assert or allege against Seller (and Seller’s affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents) at any time by reason of or arising out of any Hazardous Substances identified or discovered on, in, or under the Real Property, any latent or patent construction defects or physical conditions, violations or liability under any applicable laws (including, without limitation, any Environmental Laws) and any and all other acts, omissions, events, circumstances or matters regarding the Real Property. After the Closing, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, this Section 9 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer or the Buyer Indemnified Parties against the Seller, on the one hand, and of Seller or the Seller Indemnified Parties against the Buyer, on the other hand, for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other claim arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and/or the Transactions contemplated hereby. For the sake of clarity, however, nothing provided in this Section 9.2.1(d) or in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of Buyer’s rights to cause Seller to comply with Section 6.10 hereto.



46

As part of the provisions of this Section 9.2.1(d), but not as a limitation thereon, Buyer hereby agrees, represents and warrants that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the matters released herein are not limited to matters which are known or disclosed, and Buyer hereby waives with respect to the matters released herein any and all rights and benefits which it now has, or in the future may have conferred upon it, by virtue of the provisions of federal, state or local law, rules or regulations, including, without limitation, Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

For purposes of this Section, Buyer shall be defined as Buyer or Buyer’s officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates, partners, limited partner, members, employees and agents.

(e) Physical Condition. Except as set forth in Sections 9.2.1(a) and 9.2.2, no indemnification or other claim may be made by Buyer against Seller relating to the physical condition of the Real Property, including without limitation, the structural or seismic condition thereof.

9.2.2 Accuracy of Representations and Warranties. Conflict. If a matter arises which is subject to the indemnification provisions of both 9.2.1 and any other indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement, the provisions of 9.2.1 shall apply exclusively.



47

9.2.3 Subrogation. If an Indemnifying Party makes any payment under this Section 9 in respect of any Losses, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any insurer or third party with respect to such Losses; provided, however, that such Indemnifying Party shall not have any rights of subrogation with respect to the other party hereto or any of its Affiliates or any of its or its Affiliates’ officers, directors, agents or employees.

9.2.4 Other Indemnification Provisions.

(a) Without limiting the generality of any provision of this Agreement, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless from and against all Losses incurred by Buyer and Buyer’s employees, directors, officers, shareholders and agents resulting from: (a) any taxes imposed with respect to the operation of the Racetrack Business for periods prior to and through the Closing Date, (b) Seller’s obligation to contribute to or sponsorship of or participation in any Seller Employee Benefit Plan (whether arising prior to, on or after the Closing Date) or (c) any withdrawal liability under Sections 4063 or 4201 of ERISA with respect to any Seller Employee Benefit Plan which has arisen or may arise in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, or otherwise with respect to a withdrawal by Seller or any of its ERISA Affiliates from any Seller Employee Benefit Plan. The indemnification provided in this Section 9.2.4(a) shall (x) not be subject to the provisions of Section 9.2.1(c) and (y) survive the expiration provision of this Agreement and any applicable statute of limitations.

(b) Without limiting the generality of any provision of this Agreement, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against all Losses incurred by Seller and Seller’s employees, directors, officers, shareholders and agents resulting from: (a) any taxes imposed with respect to the operation of the Racetrack Business for periods after the Closing Date, (b) Buyer’s obligation to contribute to or sponsorship of or participation in any Employee Benefit Plan after the Closing Date or (c) any withdrawal liability arising after the Closing Date under Sections 4063 and 4201 of ERISA with respect to a withdrawal by Buyer or any of its ERISA Affiliates from any Employee Benefit Plan sponsored or maintained by Buyer, subject to the limitations contained in Section 11.2.3 of this Agreement. The indemnification provided in this Section 9.2.4(b) shall (x) not be subject to the provisions of Section 9.2.1(c) and (y) survive the expiration provision of this Agreement and any applicable statute of limitations.

9.3 Conditions of Indemnification. The respective obligations and liabilities of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party under Section 9.2 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

9.3.1 Notice. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of commencement of any action or the assertion of any claim by a third party or Governmental Authority (but in any event at least ten (10) days preceding the date on which an answer or other pleading must be served in order to prevent a judgment by default in favor of the party asserting the claim), or notice of any other matter for which indemnification may be sought, an Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof together with a copy of any claim, process or other legal pleading and, in the event the notice relates to any other matter, a reasonably detailed description of the nature of such other matter, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to undertake the defense thereof by representatives of its own choosing that are reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party’s undertaking of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to engage its own counsel, at its own expense, and participate in the defense of the claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall retain the right in its sole and absolute discretion to make all decisions with respect to the defense, settlement or compromise of such claim, except as otherwise provided herein; provided that the Indemnifying Party remains liable for any payments due under any such settlement or compromise. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice of any claim or other matter within the time period specified herein shall not adversely affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that such failure adversely affects the right of the Indemnifying Party to assert any reasonable defense to such claim or otherwise results in prejudice’s the Indemnifying Party.



48

9.3.2 Assumption of Defense. If the Indemnifying Party, by the fifteenth day after receipt of notice of any claim or matter (or, pursuant to the parenthetical in Section 9.3.1, by the fifth day preceding the day on which an answer or other pleading must be served in order to prevent judgment by default in favor of the person asserting such claim), does not elect to defend against such claim, the Indemnified Party will (upon further notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party (but only to the extent of the indemnification obligation); provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise such claim without the Indemnifying Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If after electing not to defend against such claim or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party seeks to question the manner in which the Indemnified Party defended such claim or proceeding or the amount of or nature of any such settlement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the burden to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the Indemnified Party did not defend such claim or proceeding in a reasonably prudent manner.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any claim or matter at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof if the Indemnifying Party provides assurances, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, that the Indemnifying Party will be financially able to satisfy such claim in full (to the extent of the indemnification obligation) if such claim or proceeding is decided adversely. The Indemnifying Party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such claim or proceeding.

If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any claim or matter in accordance with this Section 9.3, the Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or matter, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that:



49

(i) the Indemnifying Party shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment, or shall obtain and deliver to such Indemnified Party prior to the execution of a settlement a general release executed by the claimant, which general release shall release the Indemnified Party from any liability in such matter;

(ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not be authorized to encumber any of the assets of any Indemnified Party or to agree to any restriction that would apply to any Indemnified Party or to its conduct of business; and

(iii) a condition to any such settlement shall be a complete release of such Indemnified Party with respect to such claim.

If, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Party, there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party may direct the defense with respect to those issues as to which a conflict exists or potentially exists at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense.

9.3.3 Claim Adverse to Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.3, if there is a reasonable probability that a claim may materially adversely affect the Indemnifying Party other than as a result of money damages or other money payments, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to compromise or settle such claim, but the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party a release from all liability in respect of such claim.

9.3.4 Cooperation. In connection with any such indemnification, the Indemnified Party will cooperate in all commercially reasonable requests of the Indemnifying Party.

9.3.5 Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, no party (or its Affiliates) shall, in any event, be liable to the other party (or its Affiliates) for any consequential damages, including, but not limited to, loss of revenue or income, cost of capital, or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.

9.4 Calculation of Losses. The amount of any Losses payable under Section 9.2 by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person responsible therefor (calculated after reduction for reasonable fees, expenses, and indirect costs incurred in such recovery) (any such amounts shall be referred to herein as “Other Source Payments”). If the Indemnified Party receives any Other Source Payments subsequent to its receipt of an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party hereunder, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party making such indemnification payment up to the amount of such Other Source Payments (to the extent attributable to the Losses in question) actually received by the Indemnified Party. Nothing in this section shall be construed or interpreted to mean that an Indemnified Party must seek recovery for any Losses payable under Section 9.2 from applicable or potentially applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor, other than as set forth in this Agreement.



50

9.5 Remedies Exclusive. Except as provided herein, the remedies provided in this Article 9 and Section 6.10 shall be the exclusive remedy for each party for monetary damages and for any Environmental Claim (whether at law or in equity) between the parties. None of Seller’s officers, employees, agents, stockholders, consultants, investment bankers, legal advisers or representatives shall have any liability or obligation to Buyer in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in respect of any statement, representation, warranty or assurance of any kind made by Seller, its representatives or any other Person. None of Buyer’s officers, employees, agents, stockholders, consultants, investment bankers, legal advisors or representatives shall have any liability or obligation to Seller in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in respect of any statement, representation, warranty, or assurance of any kind made by Buyer, its representatives or any other Person.

10. TERMINATION.

This Agreement may be terminated:

10.1 Injunction. By either Buyer or Seller if any court or Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction in the United States shall have issued an order (other than a temporary restraining order), decree, judgment or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transactions and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and non-appealable.

10.2 Mutual Agreement. By mutual written agreement of Buyer and Seller.

10.3 Required Consents. By failure to obtain any Required Consents as of the Closing Date, subject to Seller's right to a reasonable extension in order to obtain such Required Consents.

10.4 Material Breach. By either Buyer or Seller, if there has been a material breach on the part of the other party in its representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein; provided, however, that if such breach is susceptible to cure the breaching party shall have twenty (20) business days after receipt of notice from the other party of its intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.4 in which to cure such breach. Termination for material breach shall not impair any party’s rights to pursue any available remedies at law or in equity.

10.5 Environmental Termination. By Seller or Buyer pursuant to Article 12.



51

10.6 Uncured Asset Loss. By Buyer, if any loss, damage, impairment, confiscation or condemnation of all or any portion of the Assets (each, an “Asset Loss”) occurs with respect to an asset which is material to the Casino Building or an asset which is material to the operation of the Racetrack Business and such Asset Loss is not cured by Seller prior to the Closing Date (it being acknowledged that Seller shall not have any obligation to do so); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) in the event such Asset Loss may be cured within 180 days, but may not be cured by Seller prior to the Closing Date despite the diligent undertakings of Seller to cure such Asset Loss prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing Date by such reasonable period of time as necessary to cure such Asset Loss prior to the Closing Date, provided that such time period shall not exceed 180 days from the date of the Asset Loss (the “Extended Closing Date”), by providing written notice of such election to Buyer and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this Agreement may be terminated by Buyer pursuant to this Section 10.6 solely if such Asset Loss is not cured by Seller by such Extended Closing Date or (ii) Buyer shall have the right to elect to receive the net insurance proceeds attributable to such Asset Loss (if and to the extent that such Asset Loss was an insured loss) in lieu of Seller’s cure of such Asset Loss prior to the Closing Date, in which event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.6.

10.7 Effects of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 10, all obligations of the parties hereunder (except for those pursuant to Section 10 and Sections 6.3.3, 11.1, 13.2, 13.8, 13.9 and 13.10) shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party; provided, however, that no termination shall relieve any party from any liability arising from or relating to a material breach prior to termination.

IF THE SALE IS NOT CONSUMMATED DUE TO A MATERIAL BREACH BY BUYER HEREUNDER, THEN SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, WHICH RETENTION SHALL OPERATE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RELEASE BUYER FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY HEREUNDER, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 10, AND SECTIONS 6.3.3, 11.1, 13.2, 13.8, 13.9 AND 13.10. THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE TO CONSUMMATE THIS SALE DUE TO BUYER’S DEFAULT, WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE. AFTER NEGOTIATION, THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT, CONSIDERING ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD INCUR IN SUCH EVENT. BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW, EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMS THE ACCURACY OF THE STATEMENTS MADE ABOVE AND THE FACT THAT EACH PARTY WAS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHO EXPLAINED, AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS MADE, THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION.

Each party agrees not to make, nor cause to be made, any news releases or other public announcements pertaining to the Transactions without first consulting the other party and attempting to formulate a mutually satisfactory arrangement for such disclosure, and in any case will make an announcement thereafter without the consent of the other only to the extent it believes in good faith that disclosure is required by applicable law or by obligations pursuant to any rules of or listing agreement with any national securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System.

At the end of such period, Buyer shall provide Seller with a list of the Racetrack Employees to whom it intends to offer employment. Such offers of employment will be contingent upon and effective on the Closing Date. Employees who accept such offers of employment are referred to herein as “Hired Employees.” Buyer agrees to pay to those Hired Employees listed by name on Section 11.2.1 of the Disclosure Schedule who remain continuously employed by Buyer on the third anniversary of the Closing Date a retention bonus as set forth in such section (the “Retention Bonus”). If within three years following the Closing Date any Hired Employee listed on such schedule is (i) involuntarily terminated by Buyer without cause (where “cause” means a willful breach or neglect of a duty, breach of fiduciary duty, insubordination, theft, fraud, dishonesty, malfeasance or misfeasance in performance of one’s duties, commission of a felony and/or the material disregard of the policies or procedures of Buyer), (ii) involuntarily terminated by Buyer due to the cessation of the Racetrack Business by Buyer, or (iii) constructively terminated by Buyer (where “constructive termination” means a reduction in base salary, annual bonus opportunity, rank, title, reporting requirements, authority or duties from that in effect as of the date hereof (which such action is not cured by Buyer within ten days of receipt of notice from the employee to Buyer); a failure to pay amounts owed or benefits when due (which failure is not cured by Buyer within ten days of receipt of notice from the employee to Buyer); or a relocation of the primary place of employment of more than 20 miles from the location as of the date hereof; provided, however, that severance benefits for constructively terminated employees are limited to just those employees designated as eligible on Section 11.2.1 of the Disclosure Schedule), Buyer shall (x) pay the Retention Bonus to such employee upon termination and (y) provide, through payment by Buyer of all applicable COBRA premiums, such employee continued medical, dental and vision coverage (as then in effect for active employees) for a period of six months following termination of employment to the extent such employee elects COBRA continuation coverage. Subject to the foregoing obligations following the Closing, each full-time Hired Employee shall be eligible to receive benefits under Employee Benefits Plans sponsored or maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates, or to which Buyer or its Affiliates contribute (and for the costs of which Seller shall not be responsible), on the same basis as similarly situated employees of Buyer who are employed in its racetrack business. To the extent any Hired Employee has accrued but unpaid wages (including vacation entitlements) as of the Closing Date, Seller shall pay to such Hired Employee any such amounts immediately prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall also pay to each Hired Employee the pro-rata portion of his or her annual bonus for the year in which the Closing occurs, if any, on or about the date when any such bonus has ordinarily been paid. Each full-time Hired Employee’s period of service and compensation history with Seller or its Affiliates shall be counted in determining eligibility for, and to the extent applicable, the amount and/or vesting of, vacation benefits or any benefits or practice as to which period of service is a factor, including benefits under each Employee Benefit Plan maintained or sponsored by Buyer or its Affiliates, or to which Buyer or its Affiliates contribute to the extent that such service was recognized under any analogous plan of Seller or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date. Each full-time Hired Employee shall be covered as of his date of hire under any Employee Benefit Plan maintained or sponsored by Buyer or its Affiliates, or to which Buyer or its Affiliates contribute, providing health care benefits (whether or not through insurance) without regard to any waiting period or any condition or exclusion based on any pre-existing conditions, medical history, claims experience, evidence of insurability, or genetic factors (except to the extent such exclusions or conditions were applicable under a corresponding Seller Employee Benefit Plan), and shall receive full credit for any deductible payments made before the Closing Date, to the extent that such expenses were incurred during a period in which such employee was covered under a corresponding Seller Employee Benefit Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not assume or have transferred to them the sponsorship of any of the Seller Employee Benefit Plans or any other benefit plans or arrangements maintained by Seller or any of its Affiliates.



53

Seller shall cause the interests of Hired Employees in the SunTrust Retirement Services 401(k) Investment Plan (the “HP Plan”) to become fully vested at the Closing Date and distributable immediately thereafter. In the event a Hired Employee receives an “eligible rollover distribution” (within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code) from the HP Plan, if Buyer sponsors a tax-qualified defined contribution plan (“Buyer Plan”), Buyer shall cause the Buyer Plan to accept a direct rollover of such eligible rollover distribution (excluding any portion of such eligible rollover distribution comprised of the outstanding balance of a loan from the HP Plan to such Hired Employee).

11.2.2 Retention of Liabilities. Seller shall be responsible for all liabilities, if any, resulting from Seller’s termination of any Racetrack Employee prior to or on the Closing Date, including, but not limited to, (a) hospitalization or medical claims; (b) any claim asserting the right to participate in any medical insurance program on a “self-pay” basis under COBRA or any comparable state or local law; (c) any claims or litigation resulting from such terminations and/or the sale of the Assets, regardless of when such claims may be asserted and (d) any severance payments or benefits. Notwithstanding any other Section of this Agreement, Buyer shall be solely responsible for all liabilities, if any, under federal and state WARN acts incurred in connection with the Transactions. Five business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Buyer a list of all Racetrack Employees whose employment was terminated during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date such list is provided, noting the date of termination for each employee and whether such termination was voluntary or involuntary on the part of the employee.



54

11.2.3 Multiemployer Plans. Seller may withdraw from any of the Multiemployer Plans listed in Section 11.2.3 of the Disclosure Schedule at the Closing Date. With respect to such Multiemployer Plans listed on Section 11.2.3 of the Disclosure Schedule which Seller shall not elect to so withdraw from (the “Surviving Plans”), Buyer and Seller shall take all steps necessary under Section 4204 of ERISA so that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement will not constitute a partial or complete withdrawal under Section 4201 of ERISA. In addition, between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts so that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement will not constitute a withdrawal under the California Race Track Pension Plan. As required by Section 4204(a)(1)(C) of ERISA, the Seller agrees that if Buyer withdraws in a complete withdrawal, or a partial withdrawal with respect to operations, with respect to any of the Surviving Plans during the first 5 plan years following the Closing Date, the Seller is secondarily liable for any withdrawal liability it would have had to the applicable Surviving Plans with respect to the operations if the liability of the Buyer with respect to such Surviving Plan(s) is not paid. In addition, the Seller agrees that if Buyer shall withdraw in a complete or partial withdrawal from the California Race Track Pension Plan and/or any of the Surviving Plans due to a cessation of the Racetrack Business on or before the last day of the fifth plan year beginning immediately after the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify and hold the Buyer harmless from and against any withdrawal liability incurred by Buyer in connection with such complete or partial withdrawal, provided that the aggregate amount of such withdrawal liability indemnified hereunder by Seller shall not exceed the amount of the withdrawal liability that would have been incurred by Seller if Seller had completely withdrawn from the applicable plan or plans on the Closing Date (the “Withdrawal Liability Cap”). The Withdrawal Liability Cap shall be calculated in good faith in accordance with ERISA and agreed upon by Buyer and Seller within ninety days following the Closing Date.

11.3 Cooperation. Each party hereto agrees, both before and after the Closing, to execute any and all further documents and writings and to perform such other reasonable actions which may be or become necessary or expedient to effectuate and carry out the Transactions (which shall not include any obligation to make payments).

11.4 Excluded Assets. If, after the Closing Date, Excluded Assets, including, but not limited to, proprietary information of Seller, shall remain on the Real Property, then Buyer shall take reasonable efforts to deliver such Excluded Assets to Seller at the expense of Seller and, so long as such information shall remain on the Real Property, Buyer shall exercise the same reasonable degree of care with respect thereto as it does with respect to its own property.



55

11.5 Tax Cooperation. After the Closing, the parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate with each other in the preparation of all tax returns and shall provide, or cause to be provided, to such other party any records and other information reasonably requested by such party in connection therewith as well as access to, and the cooperation of, the auditors of such other party and its Affiliates. After the Closing, the parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate with the other party in connection with any tax investigation, tax audit or other tax proceeding relating to the Racetrack Business or the Assets. Any information obtained pursuant to this Section relating to taxes shall be kept confidential by the other party.

11.6 Racetrack Business. Provided that either (i) the CHRB allocates to Hollywood Park Racetrack a number of racing dates for each of the three years immediately following the Closing Date that is not less than the number of racing dates historically allocated to Hollywood Park Racetrack or (ii) the board of directors of the Thoroughbred Owners of California provides to the CHRB written support for allocation of such number of racing dates to Hollywood Park Racetrack, then Buyer agrees to allocate at least five million dollars ($5,000,000) for certain capital improvements to the racing surfaces and the turf course of Hollywood Park Racetrack, including a new Polytrack racing surface and turf course repairs (“Track Improvements”). Buyer shall commence such Track Improvements no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the last day of the meet first occurring after the date that either of the events set forth in (i) or (ii) of this Section 11.6 shall have occurred (such 120-day period to be extended if and to the extent that Buyer is prevented from doing so as a result of events constituting force majeure or any other circumstances outside of Buyer’s control), and once such Track Improvements have commenced, they shall be completed as soon as reasonably practicable. The parties acknowledge and agree that if the Track Improvements are required hereunder and not completed in accordance herewith, Seller will suffer loss which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly the parties agree that in such event Buyer shall be required to pay to Seller as liquidated damages the amount that is the sum of five million dollars ($5,000,000) less the amount actually spent on such Track Improvements in immediately available funds. Buyer expressly and irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that such sum is fair and reasonable under the circumstances existing as of the date hereof

11.7 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Each party will use commercially reasonable efforts (excluding the institution of litigation) to cause all conditions to its obligations hereunder to be timely satisfied and to perform and fulfill all obligations on its part to be performed and fulfilled under this Agreement to the end that the Transactions shall be effected substantially in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable. In addition, each party will use reasonable efforts to ensure that its representations and warranties remain true and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date.

11.8 Removal of Signage and Logos. Each party hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to determine the best means of, and Buyer shall be responsible for, removing the various signs and logos of Seller from the personal property items described in Sections 2.1.2 and 2.1.10.

11.9 Race Tickets. Seller agrees that for as long as Seller shall continue to operate the Kentucky Derby, then (i) for as long as Buyer shall conduct race meets at Hollywood Park Racetrack, Buyer shall be entitled to purchase tickets to two (2) boxes (with 6 seats in each, for a total of 12 tickets) each year at the then current market rates, and (ii) for as long as Buyer shall conduct race meets at Bay Meadows Racetrack, Buyer shall be entitled to purchase tickets to one (1) box (with 6 seats) each year at the then current market rate. In addition, Seller agrees that for as long as Seller shall continue to operate the Kentucky Oaks, then (i) for as long as Buyer shall conduct race meets at Hollywood Park Racetrack, Buyer shall be entitled to purchase tickets to two (2) boxes (with 6 seats in each, for a total of 12 tickets) each year at the then current market rates, and (ii) for as long as Buyer shall conduct race meets at Bay Meadows Racetrack, Buyer shall be entitled to purchase tickets to one (1) box (with 6 seats) each year at the then current market rate to the Kentucky Oaks. The box seats for both such events shall be in locations at least as favorable as the locations provided for use by employees of Bay Meadows Racing Association and the Hollywood Park Racetrack at the 2005 Kentucky Derby. In addition, Seller shall to provide box one (1) box (with 6 seats) to both the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks (so long as Seller shall continue to operate same) to CAL National Bank as a sponsor in respect of the operations of the Hollywood Park Racetrack pursuant to that certain Sponsorship Agreement dated April 1, 2005 between Seller and CAL National Bank, so long as such sponsorship agreement shall be in effect. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy Buyer’s ticket purchase requests for any additional box seats as may be available for any of Seller’s events, at the then current market rates and terms.



56

12. PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL DILIGENCE PRIOR TO CLOSING

12.1 Buyer Submission of Phase II Work Plan. At Buyer’s option, but in any case prior to the execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall have provided to Seller and Seller shall have approved a work plan for any Phase II or other intrusive environmental testing Buyer deems necessary for purposes of evaluating the subsurface environmental or other Hazardous Substance conditions on, at, under, in or from the Real Property that may affect Buyer’s redevelopment plans (such testing, the “Phase II Testing”). Buyer’s work plan shall include (1) a detailed description of any proposed sampling of air, soil, soil gas, or groundwater that Buyer seeks to perform, including the location of any sampling and any proposed analytical methods to evaluate such samples, and (2) an explanation of the purpose for any such sampling and analyses. If such a work plan shall have been provided by Buyer and approved by Seller, it shall be attached to this Agreement as Exhibit K and referred to herein as “Work Plan”.

(a) After approval by Seller of the Work Plan (which shall occur prior to the date hereof), Buyer or Buyer’s agents shall be given access to the Real Property to undertake and complete its Phase II Testing (described in the Work Plan) and its Phase II Report (as defined below). The Phase II Testing and Phase II Report shall be completed by August 1, 2005 unless extended by the mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller (the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on August 1, 2005 (or on such mutually agreed extended date) shall be referred to herein as the “Phase II Period”).

(b) Seller or Seller’s agents may observe and be present at the Real Property when Buyer or Buyer’s agents perform the Phase II Testing. Seller shall have the right to obtain split samples at Seller’s own expense and at Seller’s sole discretion. Buyer shall contemporaneously provide to Seller, copies of all final data, laboratory reports, or analytical results of its sampling on the Real Property received by Buyer or Buyer’s agents pursuant to this Section.



57

(c) Subject to Seller’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Buyer and its authorized representatives shall have the right to modify the Work Plan if, in the course of Buyer’s investigation, circumstances arise that require a modification of the Work Plan in order to accurately evaluate the environmental or other Hazardous Substance conditions on, at, under, in or from the Real Property or Assets. This subsection shall not extend the time period in which Buyer must complete all Phase II Testing, which shall not extend beyond the Phase II Period.

(d) In the event that either Seller or Buyer discovers the presence of any Hazardous Substance on, at, under, in or from the Real Property or in the groundwater thereunder as a result of the Phase II Testing Buyer performs pursuant to this Article 12 for which it concludes that any applicable federal, state or local law, ordinance, regulation or rule governing the release of hazardous materials, toxic chemicals, hazardous substances, hazardous waste, or waste into the soil or groundwater, requires a report to be made to a Governmental Authority, then Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine whether any reporting to a Governmental Authority is required, and if Seller determines the same is required, Seller shall have the sole and exclusive right and responsibility to do so. In the event Seller does report any or all of the results of the Phase II Testing, Seller shall notify Buyer promptly of such reporting and provide a copy of the public documents that Seller submits to a Governmental Authority and all responses received from the applicable Governmental Authority, if any. Nothing in this Section 12.1(d), however, shall prevent Buyer or its authorized representatives from complying with any independent reporting obligation to which they may be subject under any Law.

(e) Upon the expiration of the Phase II Period, Buyer may elect to (i) waive its rights under this Article 12 to seek a purchase price reduction; or (ii) deliver to Seller a written estimate of the anticipated costs, if any, to investigate or remediate environmental or Hazardous Substance conditions (in air, soil, soil gas or groundwater) on, at, under, in or from the Real Property in order to complete Buyer’s planned redevelopment of the Real Property provided that those costs for redevelopment activities shall not include costs for redevelopment activities unrelated to environmental contamination, including, but not limited to, grading, compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, demolition, removal of any subsurface structures (e.g. pipelines or tanks) or special handling for contaminated demolition debris (e.g. asbestos, lead-based paint or contaminated concrete) (such written estimate an “Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate”); or (iii) terminate this Agreement and receive the full amount of the Deposit from Seller, provided that Buyer shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.1(e) unless the Final Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate exceeds $20 million as determined either by Buyer and Seller together or by LLF. In the event that Buyer prepares an Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate, Buyer shall provide that estimate in writing to Seller along with copies of all final data, laboratory reports or analytical results of its sampling (unless already provided pursuant to Section 12.1(b)) and an explanation of how Buyer arrived at the estimate and why such costs are necessary to bring the Real Property into compliance with all Environmental Laws applicable to investigation and remediation of the Real Property if it were redeveloped consistent with Buyer’s redevelopment plans (“Phase II Report”). If, within ten business days following Seller’s receipt of the Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate submitted by Buyer, Seller does not approve such estimate, Seller shall so notify Buyer in writing and either, at Seller’s option, (i) Seller shall terminate this Agreement, in which case Buyer shall receive the full amount of the Deposit from Seller, or (ii) the dispute resolution provisions of Section 12.3 below will be used to reach an agreed upon Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate. If Seller does approve Buyer’s Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate, Seller shall, within ten business days following receipt of such estimate, so notify Buyer in writing, such estimate shall be deemed a final Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate (the “Final Remediation Cost Estimate”) and Buyer and Seller shall allocate the Final Remediation Cost Estimate as provided in Section 12.2 below, subject to Buyer’s right to terminate pursuant to Section 12.1(e).



58

12.2 Allocation of Remediation Costs. If this Agreement is not terminated by either party under this Article 12 and a Final Remediation Cost Estimate is agreed upon, Buyer shall be obligated to absorb and pay for, with no adjustment in the Purchase Price, the first $2 million of remediation costs set forth in the Final Remediation Cost Estimate. If the Final Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate exceeds $2 million, Seller shall have the option of either (i) reducing the Purchase Price by the amount in the Final Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate that exceeds $2 million, or (2) terminating this Agreement, in which event Buyer shall receive a return of the Deposit and thereafter the parties shall have no further obligations to conclude the sale contemplated herein.

12.3 Dispute Resolution. If Buyer and Seller cannot agree on the Final Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate, and Seller elects not to terminate this Agreement, then Buyer and Seller shall follow the steps set forth in this Section 12.3. Buyer and Seller hereby agree that LLF (i) is a third party, neutral environmental consultant, (ii) has not been retained by either party or by either party’s Affiliates during the three years prior to the Closing Date, other than for its services hereunder, (iii) has experience in remediation of real property in Southern California, (iv) is acceptable to both of them as the sole and final arbitrator for resolving any disputes regarding the Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate, and (v) that the parties shall equally share the cost of LLF’s fees for work performed pursuant to this Section. LLF has agreed to serve in the capacity as a third party, neutral environmental consultant for purposes of this section. If within, five business days following Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s written notification that Seller does not approve Buyer’s Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate (which written notification shall include Seller’s Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate and an explanation of how Seller arrived at the estimate) and Buyer and Seller have failed to reach agreement on the Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate, then Buyer and Seller shall submit their respective Environmental Remediation Cost Estimates to LLF. LLF shall review both submissions and within five business days shall prepare a brief summary of its analysis of the cost estimates and its conclusion regarding the correct cost estimate to both Buyer and Seller. LLF’s conclusion regarding the correct Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate shall be binding on both Buyer and Seller, and not subject to appeal or judicial review initiated by either Buyer or Seller or any of their respective Affiliates. Such conclusion of LLF shall be deemed a Final Remediation Cost Estimate and Buyer and Seller shall allocate the Final Remediation Cost Estimate as provided in Section 12.2 of this Agreement subject to Buyer’s and Seller’s rights of termination under Section 12.1(e) and 12.2 herein, respectively.



59

13. MISCELLANEOUS.

13.1 Bulk Transfer Laws. Buyer hereby waives compliance by Seller with any applicable bulk transfer laws, including, without limitation, the bulk transfer provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of any state, or any similar statute, with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold buyer harmless against any and all claims, Losses incurred by Buyer or any of its Affiliates as a result of any failure to comply with any bulk transfer laws.

13.2 Expenses. Whether or not the Transactions are consummated, neither of the parties hereto shall have any obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of the other party incident to the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Transaction Documents, or the closing of the Transactions, including, but not limited to, the fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants, investment bankers, consultants and other experts.

13.3 Waivers. Either party may, by written notice to the other party, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other actions of the other party under this Agreement; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations or warranties of the other party contained in this Agreement or in any certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement; (c) waive compliance with any of the conditions or covenants of the other contained in this Agreement; or (d) waive performance of any of the obligations of the other under this Agreement. With regard to any power, remedy or right provided herein or otherwise available to any party hereunder, (i) no waiver or extension of time will be effective unless expressly contained in a writing signed by the waiving party, and (ii) no alteration, modification or impairment will be implied by reason of any previous waiver, extension of time, or delay or omission in exercise of rights or other indulgence.

13.4 Amendments, Supplements. This Agreement may be amended or supplemented at any time by the mutual written consent of the parties.

13.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule, the documents incorporated by reference and the Transaction Documents, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral and written, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. No representation, warranty, promise, inducement or statement of intention has been made by either party that is not embodied in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents and neither party shall be bound by, or be liable for, any alleged representation, warranty, promise, inducement or statement of intention not embodied herein or therein.



60

13.6 Binding Effect, Benefits. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

13.7 Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any of the parties’ rights hereunder shall be assignable by either party (other than to an Affiliate), without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall be within such party’s sole discretion; provided, however, that any such permitted assignment shall not discharge the assignor from its obligations under this Agreement.

13.8 Notices. All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by personal service or telegram, telecopy or certified mail (if such service is not available, then by first class mail), postage prepaid, or overnight courier to such address as may be designated from time to time by the relevant party, and which will initially be as set forth below.

13.9 Governing Law: Jurisdiction. This Agreement has been negotiated and entered into in the State of California, and all questions with respect to the Agreement and the rights and liabilities of the parties will be governed by the laws of that state, regardless of the choice of laws provisions of California or any other jurisdiction. Any and all disputes between the parties which may arise pursuant to this Agreement will be heard.

13.10 Attorneys’ Fees. As to any litigation or arbitration (including any proceedings in a bankruptcy court) between the parties hereto or their representatives concerning any provision of this Agreement or the rights and duties of any person or entity hereunder, solely as between the parties hereto or their successors, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and expenses.

13.11 Rules of Construction.

13.11.1 Headings. The section headings in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience, and in no way define, limit, or extend or interpret the scope of this Agreement or of any particular section.

13.11.2 Tense and Case. Throughout this Agreement, as the context may require, references to any word used in one tense or case shall include all other appropriate tenses or cases.

13.11.3 Severability. The validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected even if one or more of the provisions of this Agreement will be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect. Upon such a holding or determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.



62

13.11.4 Knowledge.

(a) Whenever a representation or warranty is stated to be based on the knowledge of Seller, or words to that effect, such phrase refers to whether any of Rick Baedeker, Steve Arnold, Eual Wyatt, Allen Gutterman, Jeffrey Mainka or Michael Miller has actual present knowledge (without having made any investigation and without any duty to investigate or inquire) of the matters involved.

(b) Whenever a representation or warranty is stated to be based on the knowledge of Buyer, or words to that effect, such phrase refers to whether any of Terrence E. Fancher or Jack Liebau, Sr. has actual present knowledge (without having made any investigation and without any duty to investigate or inquire) of the matters involved.

13.11.5 Agreement Negotiated. The parties hereto are sophisticated and have been represented by lawyers throughout the Transactions who have carefully negotiated the provisions hereof. As a consequence, the parties do not believe the presumption of California Civil Code Section 1654 and similar laws or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied in this case and therefore waive its effects.

13.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

13.13 Specific Performance. The parties understand and agree that the Property is unique and for that reason, among others, Buyer will be irreparably damaged in the event that this Agreement is not specifically enforced. Accordingly, in the event of any breach or default in or of this Agreement or any of the warranties, terms or provisions hereof by Seller, Buyer shall have, in addition to a claim for damages for such breach or default, and in addition and without prejudice to any right or remedy available at law or in equity, the right to demand and have specific performance of this Agreement.

13.14 Cooperation in Exchange. Buyer acknowledges that Seller may transfer the Real Property to Buyer as part of a tax-deferred exchange by Seller pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, and that Seller has the right to restructure all or a part of the within transaction as provided in Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 as a concurrent or delayed (non-simultaneous) tax deferred exchange for the benefit of Seller. Buyer agrees to cooperate, and if requested by Seller, to accommodate Seller in any such exchange; provided that (i) such cooperation and/or accommodation shall be at no further cost or liability to Buyer and Seller hereby indemnifies Buyer in connection therewith; and (ii) the restructuring of the within transaction shall not prevent nor delay the Closing beyond the Closing Date. Seller, in electing to structure the sale as an exchange, shall have the right to substitute another entity or person, who will be Seller’s accommodator in Seller’s place and stead. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that such substitution will not relieve the herein named Seller of any liability or obligation hereunder, and Buyer shall have the right to look solely to such herein named Seller with respect to the obligations of Seller under this Agreement.



63

13.15 No Merger. The parties intend that the provisions of this Agreement shall survive the delivery of the deeds and not merge therewith.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth below, the Company agrees to sell to Investor, and Investor agrees to purchase from the Company, the Option Units. Investor shall be entitled to a one time right to purchase the Option Units upon the earliest to occur of the following (each a “Trigger Event”):

(i) the date any federal or California state law becomes effective, including without limitation the effectiveness of any and all necessary governmental and/or regulatory actions related thereto, that authorizes Class II or Class III gaming (as defined in the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act), and permits the introduction of electronic gaming devices, in conjunction with the Racetrack Business or

(ii) the date any federal or California state law becomes effective (if not covered by (i) above), including without limitation the effectiveness of any and all necessary governmental and/or regulatory actions related thereto, that authorizes any other gaming not authorized under applicable laws as of the date hereof, in conjunction with the Racetrack Business, or

(iii) any agreement (the “Subsidies Agreement”) becomes effective between the Company and (A) the State of California or any agency, bureau or department thereof or (B) any Indian Tribe recognized by the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs, pursuant to which the Company will receive cash subsidies,

if in the case of (ii) or (iii), the revenues or subsidies therefrom, when added to the Company EBITDA from the Racetrack Business during the calendar year that ended immediately prior to the effective date of such new gaming authorization or Subsidies Agreement, would result in pro-forma Company EBITDA for such year that is greater than $40 million; provided, that any Subsidies Agreement shall be reasonably likely to provide an equal or greater level of subsidies to the Company for not less than three years. The determination as to the amount of projected incremental revenues or subsidies referenced in (ii) and (iii) above shall be made by (X) The Innovation Group, (Y) Christiansen Capital Advisors LLC, or (Z) such other consultant, as the Investor and Parent may mutually agree.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event (provided, that this Agreement shall not have been earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of Section 10.01 herein), the Company shall within 15 days provide notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Trigger Notice”), to Investor of the occurrence of such event.

(c) Delivery of Diligence Notice; Initial Diligence Period; Extensions of Diligence Period. Within 30 days following receipt of the Trigger Notice, the Investor may provide the Company with notice of its intention to commence its due diligence review of the Company (the “Diligence Notice”). Upon delivery of the Diligence Notice, the Investor shall have an initial period of six months to conduct its due diligence examination of the Company (such initial diligence period referred to herein as the “Initial Diligence Period” and, as may be extended pursuant to the remainder of this Section 2.02(c), the “Diligence Period”). On or before the last day of the Initial Diligence Period, Investor may notify the Company and Parent in writing of its election to extend the Diligence Period for an additional six months (the “Second Diligence Period”), in which event the Diligence Period shall be so extended to the first anniversary of the date of the Diligence Notice. On or before the last day of the Second Diligence Period, Investor may notify the Company and Parent in writing of its election to extend the Diligence Period for an additional six months, in which event the Diligence Period shall be so extended to the date that is 18 months following the date of the Diligence Notice (the “Third Diligence Period”). In no event shall the Diligence Period be extended past the date that is 18 months following the date of the delivery or deemed delivery (as provided below) of the Diligence Notice.



8

During the Initial Diligence Period and until the end of any extended Diligence Period, the Company will:

(i) during ordinary business hours and upon reasonable notice from the Investor, permit the Investor and its authorized representatives to have access to the personnel, offices, properties, books, records and all assets and properties of the Company, including without limitation the Racetrack Business, in order to make such inspections, tests, and investigations as the Investor shall deem appropriate (including without limitation, such Phase II or other intrusive environmental investigations as the Investor may reasonably deem appropriate),

(ii) furnish, as soon as reasonably practicable, to the Investor or its authorized representatives such other information in the Company’s possession with respect to its assets and properties, including without limitation, the Racetrack Business as the Investor may from time to time reasonably request (including financial information of the Company) and

(iii) otherwise reasonably cooperate in the due diligence examination of the Company by the Investor.

Subject to the provisions of this Section and Section 2.01(i) below, in the event the Company does not receive, or is not deemed to receive, a Diligence Notice from the Investor within the 30 day period specified above, the Option shall immediately terminate and no longer be exercisable and this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to Section 10.01. In the event the parties hereto commence arbitration proceedings pursuant to Section 2.01(i) the Arbitration Notice shall be deemed a Diligence Notice for all purposes hereunder and Investor shall have the right to conduct its due diligence examination of the Company for the Diligence Period in accordance with this Section 2.01(c); provided, however, that the Initial, Second and Third Diligence Periods shall be automatically extended during the pendency of any arbitration, but the Diligence Period shall not be extended past the date that is 18 months after the date of delivery or deemed delivery of a Diligence Notice as a result of such arbitration proceedings or any outcome of such arbitration proceedings.

(d) (i) Delivery of Option Exercise Notice. In the event the Investor intends to exercise the Option upon completion of its due diligence examination of the Company, on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the last day of the Diligence Period (including for the avoidance of doubt any extensions of such Diligence Period as set forth in Section 2.02(c)) , the Investor shall deliver a notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (an “Option Exercise Notice”), to Parent and the Company of its intent to exercise the Option and the Percentage that it wishes to acquire (if it is less than the full number to which it is entitled pursuant to subsection (f) below).



9

(ii) Sharing of Certain Expenses. If the Investor elects to extend the Diligence Period beyond the Initial Diligence Period pursuant to paragraph (c) above, then it shall promptly (upon the delivery from time to time of reasonably detailed documentation and invoices) reimburse the Company for 50% of the costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, the fees and expenses of attorneys, advisors, lobbyists, consultants and agents) actually incurred by the Parent and the Company from and after the date that is 90 days following the date of the Trigger Event and to and including the Reinvestment Date related to the Trigger Event (but only to the extent that such costs and expenses are appropriately allocable to Hollywood Park and not to Parent’s other racing properties, based upon the reasonably anticipated revenues to be generated at each such property as a result of gaming activities undertaken in response to a Trigger Event), whether or not Investor elects to purchase the Option Units, provided, that Investor shall not be responsible for additional expenses incurred after the delivery of a notice to end the Diligence Period as permitted in (iii) below. The parties agree that the expenses to be shared are those set forth above that relate to securing the Company’s legal right (including necessary permits) to operate the additional gaming activities related to the Trigger Event, and not capital expenditures. To the extent Investor reimburses any costs and expenses pursuant to this paragraph, such amounts shall be treated as additional contributions to Investor’s capital account with the Company should Investor consummate the purchase of the Option Units, but Investor shall not receive any additional Units with respect to such amounts.

(iii) Revocability of Diligence Notice. The Investor shall be entitled to end its Diligence Period at any time prior to the delivery of an Option Exercise Notice, for any reason or no reason, by delivering notice thereof to the Company and Parent, and the Diligence Period shall end on the date of such written notice.

(iv) Termination of Option. In the event the Company and Parent do not receive an Option Exercise Notice within the Initial or any extended Diligence Period, the Option shall immediately terminate and no longer be exercisable and this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to Section 10.01.

(e) As soon as practicable following the date of the Option Exercise Notice, but in no event later than the date that is six months after the delivery or deemed delivery of the Diligence Notice, the Company, Parent and the Investor shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate in good faith a Unit purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Investor and the Company, with customary representations, covenants, indemnification provisions and conditions precedent, including without limitation, the condition precedent of satisfaction or waiver of all governmental or third party registrations, filings, applications, notices, consents, approvals, orders, qualifications or waivers required under applicable law to be obtained by the Company, Parent and/or the Investor in order to consummate the exercise of the Option and the purchase of the Option Units. The parties agree that a Purchase Agreement with provisions generally similar to those set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement shall be deemed a reasonably satisfactory agreement for purposes of this Section 2.01(e); provided, that the parties agree that the extent to which terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement are deemed to be reasonably satisfactory are to be viewed in light of the facts, circumstances and status of gaming regulation in effect at the time of such negotiations.



10

(i) In the event the parties do not enter into a definitive Purchase Agreement prior to the completion of the Diligence Period, the Investor, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall nevertheless have the right to purchase the Option Units without any such Purchase Agreement by delivery of the Reinvestment Payment (or, if any filing is required pursuant to the HSR Act, the Option Deposit) in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company on the date that is 10 days following the end of the Diligence Period (unless a different date is agreeable to the Parent and the Investor); provided, however, that, if by such date the terms set forth in Section 2.01(e)(ii)(A) through (C) have not been satisfied (or waived by Investor), the Reinvestment Payment or the Option Deposit, as applicable, shall be delivered on such date immediately following the satisfaction of the terms set forth in Section 2.01(e)(ii)(A) through (C) (a “Default Unit Purchase”); provided further, however, that if any filing is required pursuant to the HSR Act, Investor shall remit an amount equal to the Reinvestment Payment less the Option Deposit within 10 Business Days following the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act. If the purchase and sale of the Option Units fails to occur for any reason (other than a result of a material breach of this Agreement by Investor), the Option Deposit shall be immediately returned to Investor. Notwithstanding any failure of the parties to enter into a Purchase Agreement, Parent, the Company and the Investor shall reasonably cooperate with each other in promptly making all necessary filings and obtaining all permits, licenses, approvals, authorizations and consents required in order to consummate the purchase and sale of the Option Units and the transactions related thereto, including without limitation, any filings required under the HSR Act.

(ii) If the parties do not enter into a definitive Purchase Agreement and the Investor purchases the Option Units pursuant to a Default Unit Purchase, the Company, Parent and Investor hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or the limited liability company agreement of the Company:

(A) the representations and warranties of each of the Company and Parent set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement except as otherwise disclosed to Investor in writing, and as set forth on Exhibit D, shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Reinvestment Date as though made at and as of that date and the Company and Parent shall in all material respects have performed and complied with all terms, agreements, covenants and conditions of this Agreement to be performed or complied with by such entity at the Reinvestment Date;

(B) the conditions precedent to the closing of the sale and purchase of the Option Units set forth in Section 9.03 hereof shall have been satisfied in all material respects or waived by the Investor, in its sole discretion; and



11

(C) the Company and Parent shall have delivered a certificate signed by their respective executive officers certifying that the provisions set forth in this Section 2.01(e)(ii)(A) and (B) have been satisfied.

(f) Following payment of the full amount of the Reinvestment Payment, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or Default Unit Purchase, the Company shall promptly issue to Investor a sufficient number of Units such that, following such issuance and the corresponding distribution of the Reinvestment Dividend to Parent, as of such relevant date, Investor’s percentage ownership of all Units determined on a Fully-Diluted Basis is equal to the percentage set forth in the table below (or any lesser number of Units that Investor has specified in its Option Exercise Notice):

	Percentage
If the Diligence Notice is Delivered	(on a Fully-
or Deemed Delivered	Diluted Basis
On or Before September 23, 2006	80	%
After September 23, 2006 and on or before September 23, 2007	70	%
After September 23, 2007 and on or before September 23, 2008	60	%
After September 23, 2008 and on or before September 23, 2009	49	%
After September 23, 2009 and on or before September 23, 2010	40	%
After September 23, 2010 and on or before September 23, 2011	30	%
After September 23, 2011 and on or before September 23, 2012	20	%
After September 23, 2012 and on or before September 23, 2013	10	%

For avoidance of doubt, the maximum Percentage (on a Fully-Diluted Basis) subject to Investor’s Option hereunder shall be determined for all purposes as of the date of the delivery or deemed delivery of the Diligence Notice, delivered by Investor to Company and Parent, notwithstanding any extensions of the Diligence Period or any delays in consummating the Investor’s purchase of Units thereafter.

(g) If Investor consummates the purchase of fewer than the full number of Units to which it is entitled, then the Option shall expire and be of no further effect with respect to the unexercised portion. In no event, however, may Investor elect to purchase or obtain exactly 50% of the Units.

(h) In no case shall the Parent or Company be required to postpone or otherwise delay the planned development of the Real Property, or any sale or transfer of the Assets or Real Property or the Racetrack Business (except during the periods described in Sections 6.03 and 7.02) or have any duty or other obligation to take or omit to take any action, at any time after the date hereof, to facilitate Investor’s exercise of the Option or generally with respect to the Real Property, the Racetrack Business or the other Assets or the management thereof, other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement).



12

(i) Any dispute or difference between or among the parties (such parties being referred to individually as a “Disputing Party,” and, together, as the “Disputing Parties”) arising out of or with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of a Trigger Event, which the parties are unable to resolve themselves shall be submitted to and resolved by arbitration as herein provided. The parties intend this Section 2.01(i) to be enforceable in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq.), including any amendments to that Act which are subsequently adopted. In recognition of the fact that resolution of any disputes with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of a Trigger Event in the courts is rarely timely or cost effective for either party, the Disputing Parties enter this mutual agreement to arbitrate in order to gain the benefits of a speedy, impartial and cost-effective dispute resolution procedure. The arbitration will be conducted using “fast track” procedures designed to result in a decision no later than 180 days after the commencement of the arbitration and the parties hereto agree that they will attempt, and they intend that they and the arbitrator should use their best efforts in that attempt, to conclude the arbitration proceeding and obtain a final decision from the arbitrator no later than 180 days after the commencement of the arbitration.

(A) Any Disputing Party may request the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) to designate one arbitrator, who shall be qualified as an arbitrator under the standards of the AAA, who shall be a retired judge or who shall have been engaged in the private practice of law for not less than fifteen (15) years immediately prior to appointment as arbitrator pursuant to this Agreement, and who is, in any such case, not affiliated with any party in interest to such arbitration (such request an “Arbitration Notice”). Such designation shall be pursuant to the rules and procedures of the AAA whereby the AAA will circulate a list of 12-15 proposed arbitrators to both Parties and such Parties will promptly reply to the AAA in accordance with the rules and regulations of the AAA.

(B) The arbitration hearings shall be held in Los Angeles, California or such other place as may be mutually agreed. Each Party shall submit its case to the arbitrator within 60 days of the selection of the arbitrator or within such longer period as may be agreed by the arbitrator. The arbitrator may resolve any and all disputes regarding discovery in connection with the arbitration. The arbitrator’s decision shall be in writing and need only set forth which of the Parties’ positions is correct. The arbitrator shall deliver a copy of the decision to each Party personally or by registered mail within 10 days after the arbitration hearing.

(C) Each Party shall bear its own costs in connection with any such arbitration, including, without limitation, (i) all legal, accounting, and any other professional fees and expenses and (ii) all other costs and expenses each Party incurs to prepare for such arbitration. Other than set forth above, each side shall pay (iii) one-half of the fee and expenses of the arbitrator and (iv) one-half of the other expenses that the Parties jointly incur directly related to the arbitration proceeding.



13

(D) Except as provided above, arbitration shall be based, insofar as applicable, upon the Rules of the AAA, but limited and conducted with regard to pre-hearing discovery as follows: (i) no later than 45 days prior to the arbitration hearing, each Party shall identify to the other any persons who may be called as an expert witness, describe the subject matter about which the expert is expected to testify, and opinions held by the expert and the facts known by the expert (regardless of when the factual information was acquired) which relate to or form the basis for the opinions held by the expert, and make available any reports produced by any such expert (or the bases upon which such expert formed an opinion if no such report was created), as well as similar information for any experts who have been used for consultation, but who are not expected to be called as an expert witness, if such consulting expert’s opinions have been reviewed by an expert witness who is expected to testify, (ii) as specified in more detail below, discovery shall be limited to the request for and production of documents, three factual depositions (that is, depositions of persons other than proposed expert witnesses), three depositions of expert witnesses and three sets of interrogatories; (iii) the duration of each deposition shall be limited to two days; (iv) interrogatories shall be allowed only as follows: a party may request the other party to identify (by name, last known address and telephone number) all persons having knowledge of facts relevant to the dispute and a brief description of that person’s knowledge, and may include so-called “contention interrogatories”; and (v) document discovery conducted in the course of such an arbitration shall be limited so that neither Party shall be required to respond to more than two specific sets of requests for documents, not including the required expert disclosures set forth above.

(E) The Parties hereby waive any right of appeal to any court on the merits of the dispute.

Section 2.02 Purchase and Sale. The closing of the sale of the Option Units pursuant to a Purchase Agreement shall occur as soon as practicable following the expiration of the Diligence Period and the satisfaction or waiver of applicable closing conditions (unless a different date is chosen by mutual agreement of the Investor and the Company). The closing of the sale of the Option Units pursuant to a Default Unit Purchase shall occur on the date that is 10 days following the end of the Diligence Period (unless a different date is agreeable to the Parent and the Investor); provided, however, that, if by such date the terms set forth in Section 2.01(e)(ii)(A) through (C) have not been satisfied or waived by Investor, such closing date shall occur on such date immediately following the satisfaction (or waiver by Investor) of the terms set forth in Section 2.01(e)(ii)(A) through (C). The amount of cash payable by Investor for the Option Units shall be (a) the Purchase Price multiplied by (b) the Percentage, and shall be referred to herein as the “Reinvestment Payment”.

(a) Except with the prior written approval of the Investor, neither Parent nor the Company will, prior to the Reinvestment Date, amend in any manner the limited liability company agreement of the Company to create or authorize the creation of or issue (including, without limitation, by way of recapitalization), or obligate itself to authorize or issue any Units of any equity securities of the Company, or any other security exercisable for or convertible into any shares of equity securities of the Company, whether any such creation or authorization shall be by means of amendment of the limited liability company agreement of the Company, or by merger, consolidation or otherwise.

(b) Alternative Structure.

(i) It is understood and agreed that, subject to paragraph (b)(iii) below, the Company may implement various ownership and leasing arrangements with respect to the Assets that are designed to optimize the structure for investors in one or more investment funds that are Affiliates of Parent (the “Stockbridge Funds”) and to comply with certain requirements as to structuring investments contained in the operative agreements for the Stockbridge Funds (any such arrangement being referred to as an “Alternative Structure”). Subject to paragraph (iii) below, an Alternative Structure may include (without limitation) (x) causing one Affiliate to own certain of the Assets and to lease such Assets to a second Affiliate; and (y) causing one or more of the Stockbridge Funds or other Affiliates to own direct interests in one or more of the Affiliates described in clause (x).

(ii) If an Alternative Structure is implemented, then

(A) Investor’s Option to purchase the Option Units in the Company shall be automatically amended so that, to the extent necessary for Investor to acquire in the aggregate the same economic interest and governance interest in the Assets that the Option Units would have represented had there been no Alternative Structure, Investor will have the right to purchase interests in all such Affiliates of the Company that hold interests in the Assets and all relevant governance documents shall be amended as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement;

(B) the Reinvestment Payment shall be adjusted as appropriate to reflect amounts incurred by or contributed to such Affiliates in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Agreement; and

(C) the parties shall cooperate in implementing such other adjustments as may be required to effectuate the intent of this Agreement.



18

(iii) The parties acknowledge and agree that if an Alternative Structure is implemented, then any exercise of the Option pursuant to this Agreement shall be implemented in such a way as (1) to provide Investor with the same aggregate economic interest and governance interest that the Option Units would have represented had there been no Alternative Structure, and (2) to cause no material adverse effect to Investor or to the Investor’s rights under this Agreement to reinvest, directly or indirectly, in the Assets, including without limitation the Real Property, and the Racetrack Business.

Section 6.02 Amendment of Limited Liability Company Agreement. Concurrent with the issuance of the Option Units, Parent shall cause the limited liability company agreement of the Company, which shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, to be amended effective as of the Reinvestment Date so that (i) the Majority Member has the right to appoint a majority of the members of the management board of the Company, (ii) the management board of the Company shall consist of at least one member appointed by each Stockbridge Fund and at least one member appointed by the Investor, and (iii) to add the following provisions:

(a) For so long as each of Parent and Investor own 20% or more of the outstanding Units in the Company, the Company shall continue to conduct its business and maintain the Real Property and the other Assets in the ordinary course consistent with past practice or consistent with this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall maintain appropriate levels of indebtedness to reflect prevailing market practices for investments of this type by institutional investors, as determined in the good faith reasonable judgment of the Majority Member. Furthermore, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement or as consented to in writing by Parent and Investor, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates will:

(i) amend its limited liability company agreement;

(ii) split, combine or reclassify any Units or issue any additional Units;

(v) merge or consolidate with any other Person;

(vi) acquire any interest in any corporation, partnership or other business organization or any subsidiary thereof or any material amount of assets from any other Person;

Section 7.01 Payment of Reinvestment Dividend. Immediately following the receipt by the Company of the Reinvestment Payment, the Company shall issue the Reinvestment Dividend to Parent in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by Parent.

Section 7.02 Affiliated Transactions.

ARTICLE 8
Sale Of Interests Or Assets

Section 8.01 Sale Notice.

(a) At any time following the date that is one year after the Reinvestment Date, any party holding less than 50% of the issued and outstanding Units on a Fully-Diluted Basis (the “Minority Member”) may deliver a notice (the “Sale Notice”) to the party (together with its Affiliates) holding more than 50% of the issued and outstanding Units on a Fully-Diluted Basis (the “Majority Member”) stating that the Minority Member desires to determine the Fair Market Value of the Company. The Fair Market Value of the Company shall be determined as described in Section 8.02.



20

(b) The Sale Notice shall contain the name of an independent valuation firm (the “Minority Valuation Firm”) and, within 10 days after receipt of the Sale Notice, the Majority Member shall also select an independent valuation firm (the “Majority Valuation Firm”) and shall notify the Minority Member of such selection.

(c) Each of Parent and Investor shall pay the fees and expenses of the independent valuation firm it retains. In addition, the Company shall promptly supply all information reasonably requested by the independent valuation firms in performing their valuations.

Section 8.02 Procedure for Determining Fair Market Value of the Company.

(a) The Minority Valuation Firm and the Majority Valuation Firm shall each determine the Fair Market Value of the Company as promptly as possible, but in no event later than 30 days following the date upon which the Sale Notice was given. Such values shall be determined assuming the sale of the applicable assets of the Company at a price agreed between a willing seller and a willing buyer in an arms-length transaction with no deductions for lack of liquidity, forced sale or similar considerations.

(b) If the values calculated by the Minority Valuation Firm and the Majority Valuation Firm do not vary by more than 10%, then the Fair Market Value of the Company shall be the average of the two valuations. If the values so calculated vary by more than 10%, then the Minority Valuation Firm and Majority Valuation Firm shall, within five days of the date their valuations were first given, select a third valuation firm which will make its own determination of the Fair Market Value of the Company. The Company, the Minority Valuation Firm and Majority Valuation Firm shall supply all information required by the third firm so that it can complete its valuation not later than 20 days following its selection. Its valuation shall be delivered in a certificate to the Minority Member, the Majority Member, the Minority Valuation Firm and the Majority Valuation Firm. The Fair Market Value of the Company shall then be the average of (i) the value obtained by the third valuation firm and (ii) the value obtained by the other valuation firm whose valuation is closer to that obtained by the third valuation firm. Each of Parent and the Investor shall pay fifty percent of the fees and expenses of such third valuation firm.

Section 8.03 Sale; Payment of the Sale Price.

(a) The Fair Market Value of the Company determined pursuant to the procedures described above shall be binding upon the Company for a period of one year after its final determination, and the fair market value of the Units owned by the Minority Member shall be the product of the membership percentage interest held by the Minority Member and the Fair Market Value of the Company (such product, the “Sale Price”).

(b) If, following determination of the Sale Price, the Minority Member determines to sell its Units, it shall first offer such Units to the Majority Member at the Sale Price and the Majority Member shall have 60 days in which to either (i) determine whether to accept such offer or (ii) accept such offer and assign such right to purchase such Units at the Sale Price to a third party selected in the sole and absolute discretion of the Majority Member. If the Majority Member chooses to accept the offer or accept the offer and assign such right to purchase or declines such offer, it shall notify the Minority Member in writing (the “Majority Member Notice”). If the Majority Member determines not to purchase such Units or accept the offer and assign such right to purchase such Units from the Minority Member, the Minority Member may offer such Units to any other Person for a price and on other terms as it shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion provided, however, that in the event that the Minority Member has not sold its Units within one year following the final determination of Fair Market Value, then its Units shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 8. Within 10 days of any agreement to sell such Units, the Minority Member shall notify the Majority Member of such agreement (the Majority Member, its assignee or such other buyer, as the case may be, the “Final Buyer”).



21

(c) Within 10 days (or such other period as is acceptable to the Minority Member) after any agreement to sell the Units held by the Minority Member at the Sale Price, the Final Buyer shall deposit the Sale Price in cash with a paying agent chosen by the Company (the “Paying Agent”) and the Minority Member shall transfer all of its Units to the Paying Agent and the closing of the sale of such Units shall take place within two Business Days thereafter.

Section 8.04 Sale of Assets or the Units. At any time following the Reinvestment Date, the Majority Member may deliver a notice to the Minority Member that it intends to initiate a transaction or series of related transactions involving a sale of all of the Assets and Real Property comprising the business of the Company and its Affiliates or all of the outstanding Units of the Company. Any such sale must be to a third party that is not affiliated with either the Majority Member or the Minority Member at a market price to be determined through a competitive sales process, and on terms and conditions reasonably determined by the Majority Member (a “Third Party Sale”). The parties shall engage the services of appropriate professionals, selected by the Majority Member, to solicit offers to purchase the Real Property and Assets or all of the outstanding Units of the Company from unaffiliated third parties. The Majority Member and Minority Member shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a purchase and sale agreement to sell the Real Property and Assets or all of the outstanding Units to the bidder as reasonably selected by the Majority Member. The proceeds from such Third Party Sale, after payment of the appropriate pro-rata portion of the costs and expenses of such Third Party Sale attributable to the Company and any other amounts owing with respect to the Real Property and Assets, shall be distributed according to the terms of the Company’s limited liability company agreement or to the members of the Company in the event of a sale of Units, as appropriate.

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED TO SELL HOLLYWOOD PARK TO
BAY MEADOWS LAND COMPANY
Racing Operations to Continue at Historic Inglewood Racetrack

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (July 6, 2005) – Churchill Downs Incorporated (“CDI”) (Nasdaq: CHDN) and Bay Meadows Land Company LLC (“BMLC”) today announced that they have signed a definitive agreement in which CDI will sell Hollywood Park racetrack and surrounding acreage at the Inglewood, Calif., site to BMLC for $260 million. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2005.

Under the terms of the deal, BMLC will purchase the land and facilities of the Hollywood Park race site and assume management of racing operations. Pinnacle Entertainment Inc. will continue to operate the Hollywood Park Casino facility under a long-term lease. Over the next three years, CDI will distribute the Hollywood Park simulcast signal through its Churchill Downs Simulcast Network (“CDSN”). CDSN will also distribute the simulcast signal for Bay Meadows Racetrack, which is owned and operated by BMLC, for a period of time. CDI will have an option to reinvest in Hollywood Park should significant alternative gaming or gaming subsidies occur.

Thomas H. Meeker, CDI’s president and chief executive officer, said the transaction serves the interests of the CDI, the racetrack and the California racing industry.

“We are pleased with the outcome of a sale that realizes value for our shareholders,” said Meeker. “The transaction strengthens the company’s finances and presents a unique opportunity to reinvest in the racetrack. At the same time, the transaction will put Hollywood Park in the hands of an owner that is already active in California racing with a strong interest in finding solutions to the many competitive challenges in that jurisdiction.

“In BMLC, we selected a buyer who not only recognized the value of Hollywood Park, but also is committed to continuing racing at the venue and motivated to improve the California racing environment,” continued Meeker. “This transaction presented the most positive options for our constituencies and the industry. We are hopeful that Hollywood Park has a strong future with BMLC and believe the new ownership is well positioned to advance California racing.”

Terrence E. Fancher, president of BMLC, said BMLC intends to apply for a license from the California Horse Racing Board to continue racing operations at Hollywood Park while aggressively pursuing legislative solutions that will improve the racing climate in California.

“We are pleased to be acquiring this premier horse racing facility,” said Fancher. “Hollywood Park has a storied history in southern California and we are looking forward to working with the existing management team to continue to strengthen the racing operations.

“We will work diligently with all segments of the horse racing industry, California’s elected officials and racing enthusiasts to find long-term solutions to the economic challenges facing the horse racing business in California today,” continued Fancher. “We also will seek alternative uses for the current racetrack site, in collaboration with the City of Inglewood, in the event that our best efforts are unable to improve the underlying economics of the horse racing industry and to stem the tide of horses leaving the state.”

The pending sale of Hollywood Park follows a February announcement in which CDI officials stated they were exploring options to maximize the value of the Inglewood racetrack. CDI initially purchased Hollywood Park in September 1999, paying $140 million to then-owner Hollywood Park Inc., which now does business as Pinnacle Entertainment Inc. Since that time, CDI has operated two race meets annually on the 238-acre site and leased space for Pinnacle Entertainment’s card club.

CDI’s investment banker for the Hollywood Park divesture is Lazard. Legal advisors for CDI include Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and Wyatt Tarrant & Combs. BMLC is represented by the law firm of Davis, Polk & Wardwell.

Hollywood Park is located 11 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles and three miles from Los Angeles International Airport. The racetrack offers live thoroughbred racing and simulcast wagering during its Spring/Summer Meet from April 22 through July 17, 2005, and during its Autumn Meet from Nov. 9 through Dec. 19, 2005. The racetrack also conducts simulcast wagering on site when it is not offering live racing.

Bay Meadows Land Company is the owner and operator of the Bay Meadows Racetrack in San Mateo, Calif., and is the developer of Park Place, an award-winning mixed-use development that was built on a 79-acre portion of the Bay Meadows site that previously encompassed a stable area and training track. Bay Meadows Land Company has its principal office at 1200 Park Place in San Mateo, Calif., 94403, and is owned by Stockbridge Real Estate Fund, LP, a private partnership formed to invest in real estate (www.sbfund.com). The General Partner of Stockbridge Fund shares the same headquarters office in San Mateo as Bay Meadows Land Company.
