ITEM 1.01.
ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

(i)     On September 23, 2005, Churchill Downs Incorporated (the "Company") as Borrower entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and the other lending institutions listed in the Agreement (the "Lenders"), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Agent and Collateral Agent (the "Agent"), with PNC Bank, National Association as Syndication Agent and National City Bank of Kentucky as Documentation Agent.  JPMorgan Securities Inc. and PNC Capital Markets, Inc. acted as co-lead Arrangers and Joint Book Runners under the Agreement. The Guarantors under the Agreement are Company subsidiaries Churchill Downs Management Company, Churchill Downs Investment Company, Churchill Downs Simulcast Productions, LLC, Charlson Industries, Inc., Racing Corporation of America, Calder Race Course, Inc., Tropical Park, Inc., Arlington Park Racecourse, LLC, Arlington Management Services, LLC, Arlington OTB Corp., Quad City Downs, Inc., CDIP, LLC, CDIP Holdings, LLC, Ellis Park Race Course, Inc., Churchill Downs Louisiana Horseracing Company, L.L.C., Churchill Downs Louisiana Video Poker Company, L.L.C. and Video Services, Inc.
 
The Agreement amends, supersedes and restates in its entirety a previous credit agreement dated as of April 3, 2003 by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and the Agent, as the same had been amended prior to September 23, 2005 (the "Previous Credit Agreement").  All loans made and secured obligations incurred under the Previous Credit Agreement which were outstanding on September 23, 2005 continue as loans and secured obligations under the Agreement.  The Agreement provides for a maximum borrowing of $200,000,000 (including a letter of credit subfacility not to exceed $25,000,000 and a swing line commitment up to a maximum principal amount of $15,000,000). The facility terminates on September 23, 2010.  The Company may at any time, with the consent of the Agent but without the consent of the Lenders except as set forth in the Agreement, increase the aggregate commitment up to an amount not to exceed $250,000,000, subject to satisfaction of the requirements set forth in the Agreement. This maximum borrowing amount may be reduced from time to time according to the terms of the Agreement.  Borrowings made pursuant to the Agreement may be revolving loans or swing line loans, the combined sum of which may not exceed the maximum borrowing amount.  Amounts borrowed under the Agreement may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time until September 23, 2010. 
 
Borrowings made pursuant to the Agreement will bear interest, payable the last day of each calendar quarter on floating rate advances or at the end of any interest period on Eurodollar advances, at either (a) the floating rate, described in the Agreement as the higher of the Agent’s prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (b) the applicable margin (the "Applicable Margin") of 75 to 150 additional basis points (determined with reference to the Company’s leverage ratio) plus a rate based upon the Eurodollar rate (a publicly published rate).  Swing line loans bear interest at the prime rate of the swing line lender.  Under the Agreement, the Company agreed to pay a commitment fee, payable on the last day of each calendar quarter, at rates that range from 0.15% to 0.375% of the available aggregate commitment, depending on the Company's leverage ratio.
 
The Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions, disposition of assets, sale-leaseback transactions, and transactions with affiliates.  The covenants permit the Company to use proceeds of the credit extended under the Agreement for the repayment of all amounts under the Company’s $100.0 million Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due March 31, 2010 (the "Senior Notes"), for working capital, for general corporate purposes and acquisition needs.  The Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company (i) to maintain an interest coverage ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense to be greater than 3.5 to 1.0; (ii) not to permit the leverage ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be greater than 3.25 to 1.0; and (iii) to maintain consolidated net worth of not less than $190,000,000 as of September 23, 2005, increasing for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2005 by 50% of consolidated net income and increasing by 100% of the net proceeds of any future debt and equity offerings.
 
The Agreement provides for customary events of default with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, failure to comply with covenants, any representation or warranty made by the Company being materially false on the date made, certain insolvency or receivership events affecting the Company or its subsidiaries, defaults relating to other indebtedness of at least $3,000,000 in the aggregate (with certain exceptions contained in the Agreement), and a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Agreement).
 
2

 
In the event of a default by the Company, the requisite number of Lenders, or the Agent at their request, may declare all obligations under the Agreement immediately due and payable, terminate the Lenders’ commitments to make loans under the Agreement, and make demand on the Company to pay to the collateral agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount (as defined in the Agreement). For certain events of default related to insolvency and receivership, the commitments of Lenders will be automatically terminated and all outstanding obligations of the Company will become immediately due and payable.
 
Certain of the Lenders party to the Agreement, and their respective affiliates, have performed, and may in the future perform for the Company and its subsidiaries, various commercial banking, investment banking, underwriting and other financial advisory services, for which they have received, and will receive, customary fees and expenses.
 
The foregoing description of the Agreement and related matters is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
 
(ii)    On September 23, 2005, in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended, between Churchill Downs California Company ("CDCC") and Bay Meadows Land Company, LLC ("Bay Meadows") dated as of July 6, 2005, described further under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, CDCC and Hollywood Park Land Company, LLC (the "Purchaser"), the assignee of Bay Meadows, entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") modifying the Asset Purchase Agreement between CDCC and Bay Meadows (as amended, the "Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the parties agreed at closing of the Purchase Agreement to reduce the purchase price of the assets acquired by the Purchaser by $2.5 million to address environmental remediation issues and to provide a working capital adjustment in favor of the Purchaser in the amount of $2.5 million.  In addition, as of the closing, the parties agreed that CDCC would retain certain immaterial liabilitites and certain simulcast receivables and payables.  The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Letter Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

(iii)    On September 23, 2005, in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Bay Meadows, Stockbridge Real Estate Fund II-A, LP, Stockbridge Real Estate Fund II-B, L.P., Stockbridge Real Estate Fund II-T, LP, Stockbridge Hollywood Park Co-Investors, LP, Stockbridge HP Holdings Company, LLC and Churchill Downs Investment Company entered into a reinvestment agreement (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 foregoing description of the Reinvestment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Reinvestment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1.02.
TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

In connection with our entry into the new credit agreement described under Item 1.01(i) above, we repaid the $100.0 million in Senior Notes with a seven year term issued pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated April 3, 2003, as amended by the First Amendment Agreement dated as of October 14, 2004 to Note Purchase Agreement among Churchill Downs Incorporated, the Guarantors named therein, Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, General Electric Capital Assurance Company, Employers Reinsurance Corporation, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Principal Life Insurance Company, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, C.M. Life Insurance Company, MassMutual Asia Limited, Sun America Life Insurance Company and Prudential Retirement Ceded Business Trust. The $100.0 million Senior Notes bore interest based on LIBOR plus a spread of 155 to 280 basis points determined by the Company meeting certain financial requirements.

The information included in Item 1.01(i) of this Report with respect to the repayment of the Senior Notes is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser acquired 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 for a purchase price of $257.5 million cash (the "Assets"), and, in addition, the Purchaser agreed to assume certain liabilities of CDCC related to the Assets, subject to certain adjustments contained in the Purchase Agreement. The actual cash proceeds received by CDCC on September 23, 2005, including the amounts applied to payoff indebtedness, was $254.6 million after adjustment.

The Purchase Agreement was previously described in a Form 8-K filed July 12, 2005, as amended on Form 8-K/A filed July 18, 2005. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, as amended, which is included as Exhibit 10.4, Exhibit 10.5 and Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

(b)
Pro forma financial information

The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial information gives effect to CDCC's disposition of the Assets to the Purchaser on September 23, 2005. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004 include the effects of the disposition as if the disposition had occurred on January 1, 2002. The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial information, consisting of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2005, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations, and the accompanying notes, should be read in conjunction with the historical annual and quarterly financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company. An unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 is not included as the effects of the disposition are already reflected as a discontinued operation in the Company's financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.

The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the LC Issuer or any Lender under or in connection with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not put the LC Issuer or any Lender under any liability to the Borrower. Nothing in this Section 2.3.7 is intended to limit the right of the Borrower to make a claim against the LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.3.6.
 
2.3.8  Actions of LC Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Facility LC, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the LC Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, the LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and any future holders of a participation in any Facility LC.
 
2.3.9  Indemnification. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, the LC Issuer and the Agent, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Facility LC or any actual or proposed use of any Facility LC, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which the LC Issuer may incur by reason of or in connection with (i) the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to the LC Issuer hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights the Borrower may have against any defaulting Lender) or (ii) by reason of or on account of the LC Issuer issuing any Facility LC which specifies that the term "Beneficiary" included therein includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Facility LC does not require that any drawing by any such successor Beneficiary be accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to the LC Issuer, evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC complied with the terms of such Facility LC. Nothing in this Section 2.3.9 is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement.
 
2.3.10  Lenders' Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify the LC Issuer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees' gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.3 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.
 
2.3.11  Facility LC Collateral Account. The Borrower agrees that it will, upon the request of the Agent or the Required Lenders and until the final expiration date of any Facility LC and thereafter as long as any amount is payable to the LC Issuer or the Lenders in respect of any Facility LC, maintain a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Agent (the "Facility LC Collateral Account") at the Agent's office at the address specified pursuant to Article XIII, in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the LC Issuer and in which the Borrower shall have no interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1. The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, and the LC Issuer, a security interest in all of the Borrower's right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations. The Agent will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the Facility LC Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of JPMorgan having a maturity not exceeding 30 days. Nothing in this Section 2.3.11 shall either obligate the Agent to require the Borrower to deposit any funds in the Facility LC Collateral Account or limit the right of the Agent to release any funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account in each case other than as required by Section 8.1.
 
2.3.12  Rights as a Lender. In its capacity as a Lender, the LC Issuer shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Lender.
 
2.4  Required Payments; Termination. Any outstanding Advances and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Facility Termination Date.
 
2.5  Ratable Loans. Each Advance hereunder shall consist of Loans made from the several Lenders ratably according to their Pro Rata Shares.
 
2.6  Types and Number of Eurodollar Advances. The Advances may be Floating Rate Advances or Eurodollar Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.10 and 2.11, or Swing Line Loans selected by Borrower in accordance with Section 2.2. The Borrower may have no more than six (6) Eurodollar Advances outstanding at any one time.
 
2.7  Commitment Fee; Reductions in Aggregate Commitment. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share a commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") in arrears at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Fee Rate in effect from time to time on the average daily Available Aggregate Commitment of such Lender from the date hereof to and including the Facility Termination Date, payable on each Payment Date hereafter and on the Facility Termination Date. Swing Line Loans shall not count as usage of any Lender's Commitment for the purpose of calculating the commitment fee due hereunder. In addition, on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the ratable account of the lenders then party to the Previous Credit Agreement, the accrued and unpaid commitment fees under the Previous Credit Agreement through Closing Date. The Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment in whole, or in part ratably among the Lenders in integral multiples of $5,000,000, upon at least one Business Days' written notice to the Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction, provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. All accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Credit Extensions hereunder.
 
2.8  Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each Eurodollar Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof), and each Floating Rate Advance (other than an advance to repay Swing Line Loans) shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof), provided, however, that any Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the Available Aggregate Commitment.
 
2.9  Optional Principal Payments. The Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans), or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) upon one Business Day's prior notice to the Agent. The Borrower may at any time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Swing Line Loans, or, in a minimum amount of $100,000 and increments of $50,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Swing Line Loans, with notice to the Agent and the Swing Line Lender by 11:00 a.m. (Louisville Time) on the date of repayment. The Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding Eurodollar Advances or any portion of the outstanding Eurodollar Advances upon three (3) Business Days' prior notice to the Agent.
 
2.10  Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances. Each Type of Advance shall bear interest according to its Type, from the date the Advance is made until it is repaid. The Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a "Borrowing Notice") not later than 11:00 a.m. (Louisville time) at least one Business Day before the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance and three Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Advance, specifying:
 
(i)  the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance,

(ii)  the aggregate amount of such Advance,

(iii)  the Type of Advance selected, and

(iv)  in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Louisville time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans in funds immediately available in Louisville to the Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII. The Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Agent's aforesaid address.

2.11  Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Advances pursuant to this Section 2.11 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.9. Each Eurodollar Advance shall continue as a Eurodollar Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless (x) such Eurodollar Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.9 or (y) the Borrower shall have given the Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Advance continue as a Eurodollar Advance for the same or another Interest Period. Subject to the terms of Section 2.10, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Floating Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) into a Eurodollar Advance. The Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a "Conversion/Continuation Notice") of each conversion of a Floating Rate Advance into a Eurodollar Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance not later than 11:00 a.m. (Louisville time) at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

(i)  the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation,

(ii)  the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued, and

(iii)  the amount of such Advance which is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

2.12  Changes in Interest Rate, etc. Each Floating Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurodollar Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.11, to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a Eurodollar Advance pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the day such Swing Line Loan is made to but excluding the date it is paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by the Agent as applicable to such Eurodollar Advance based upon the Borrower's selections under Sections 2.10 and 2.11 and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof. No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date.
 
2.13  Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance. During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum, and (ii) each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate in effect from time to time plus 2% per annum and (iii) the LC Fee shall be increased by 2% per annum, provided that, during the continuance of a Default under Section 7.6 or 7.7, the interest rates set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above and the increase in the LC Fee set forth in clause (iii) above shall be applicable to all Credit Extensions without any election or action on the part of the Agent or any Lender.
 
2.14  Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Agent at the Agent's address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Agent specified in writing by the Agent to the Borrower, by noon (local time) on the date when due and shall (except with respect to repayments of Swing Line Loans, and in the case of Reimbursement Obligations for which the LC Issuer has not been fully indemnified by the Lenders, or as otherwise specifically required hereunder) be applied ratably by the Agent among the Lenders. Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Agent to such Lender, in the same type of funds that the Agent received, at such Lender's address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Agent from such Lender. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with JPMorgan for each payment of principal, interest Reimbursement Obligations and fees as it becomes due hereunder. Each reference to the Agent in this Section 2.14 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to the LC Issuer, in the case of payments required to be made by the Borrower to the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.3.6.
 
2.15  Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.
 
(i)  
Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
 
(ii)  
The Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (a) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period (if applicable) with respect thereto, (b) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (c) the original stated amount of each Facility LC and the amount of LC Obligations outstanding at any time, and (d) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender's share thereof.
 
(iii)  
The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (i) and (ii) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.
 
(iv)  
Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or, in the case of the Swing Line Lender, promissory notes representing its Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, respectively, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, with appropriate changes for notes evidencing Swing Line Loans (each, a "Note"). In such event, the Agent shall prepare and forward to the Borrower for execution and delivery to such Lender a Note or Notes payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by each such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above.
 
2.16  Telephonic Notices. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation signed by an Authorized Officer, if such confirmation is requested by the Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.
 
2.17  Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, on each date set forth in the Working Cash Sweep Rider, on any date on which the Floating Rate Advance is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and on the Facility Termination Date. Interest accrued on that portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Floating Rate Advance converted into a Eurodollar Advance on a day other than a Payment Date shall be payable on the date of conversion. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurodollar Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and on the Facility Termination Date. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest, Commitment Fees and LC Fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, except for interest payable on Advances at the Alternate Base Rate which shall accrue on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as appropriate. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.
 
2.18  Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder. Promptly after notice from the LC Issuer, the Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each request for issuance of a Facility LC hereunder. The Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.
 
2.19  Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans and its participation in any LC Obligations and the LC Issuer may book the Facility LCs at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans, Facility LCs, participations in LC Obligations and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender and the LC Issuer may, by written notice to the Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Facility LCs will be issued by it and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to Facility LCs are to be made.
 
2.20  Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Agent, repay to the Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.
 
2.21  Replacement of Lender. If the Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to any Lender or if any Lender's obligation to make or continue, or to convert Floating Rate Advances into, Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.3 (any Lender so affected an "Affected Lender"), the Borrower may elect, if such amounts continue to be charged or such suspension is still effective, to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Advances and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit C and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.3 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.
 
2.22  Increase in Commitments. 
 
2.22.1  Amount of Increase in Commitments. The Borrower may at any time, with the consent of the Agent but without the consent of the Lenders except as provided in Sections 2.22.2 and 2.22.5(i), increase the Aggregate Commitment up to an amount not to exceed $250,000,000, subject to satisfaction of each and all of the requirements contained in this Section 2.22.
 
2.22.2  Eligibility. Each Lender who provides an increase in the Aggregate Commitment (each a "New Commitment Provider") shall be either an existing Lender at the time of the increase (each an "Existing Lender") or a financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Borrower (and the Borrower’s acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld) that is not then currently a Lender (each a "New Lender") provided, that the Borrower shall first offer any increase in the Commitments to the Existing Lenders by giving notice thereof to each of the Existing Lenders and fifteen (15) Business Days to respond to such notice (failure to respond on a timely basis shall be deemed a rejection). Any notice given hereunder shall not be deemed to be a request for, or requirement of, consent from any Existing Lender who is not a New Commitment Provider to the increase in the Aggregate Commitment.
 
2.22.3  Notice. The Borrower and the Agent jointly shall notify the Lenders at least fifteen (15) Business Days before the date ("Commitment Increase Effective Date") any increase in the Aggregate Commitment shall become effective. Such notice shall state the amount of the increase in the Aggregate Commitment, the names of the Lenders providing the additional Commitments and the Commitment Increase Effective Date. 
 
2.22.4  Minimum Amount. Any increase in the Aggregate Commitment provided by any individual Lender shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
 
2.22.5  Implementation of Increase. On the Commitment Increase Effective Date:
 
(i)  
Joinder. Each New Commitment Provider shall execute and deliver to the Agent two Business Days prior to the Commitment Increase Effective Date a Joinder in the form attached as Exhibit L ("Lender Joinder"), which shall become effective on the Commitment Increase Effective Date. The Lender Joinder shall set forth the Commitment provided by the New Commitment Provider if it is a New Lender and the new amount of the Commitment and the increase in the Commitment to be provided if it is an Existing Lender. If the New Commitment Provider is a New Lender it shall on the Effective Date join and become a party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender for all purposes hereunder and thereunder, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.22, having a Commitment as set forth in the Lender Joinder tendered by the same. Any Lender whose Commitment shall remain unaffected shall be deemed to have consented and agreed to such Lender Joinder.
 
(ii)  
Floating Rate Loans. Each New Commitment Provider shall (i) purchase from the other Lenders such New Commitment Provider's Pro Rata Share in any Floating Rate Loans outstanding on the Commitment Increase Effective Date, and (ii) share ratably in all Floating Rate Loans borrowed by the Borrower after the Commitment Increase Effective Date.
 
(iii)  
Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each New Commitment Provider shall (a) purchase from the other Lenders such New Commitment Provider's Pro Rata Share in each outstanding Eurodollar Loan on the date on which the Borrower either renews its Eurodollar Loan election with respect to the Eurodollar Loan in question or converts such Eurodollar Loan to a Floating Rate Loan, provided that the New Commitment Providers shall not purchase an interest in such Loans from the other Lenders on the Commitment Increase Effective Date (unless the Commitment Increase Effective Date is a renewal or conversion date, as applicable, in which case the preceding sentence shall apply), and (b) shall participate in all new Eurodollar Loans borrowed by the Borrower on and after the Commitment Increase Effective Date.
 
(iv)  
Facility LCs. Each New Commitment Provider shall participate in all Facility LCs outstanding on the Commitment Increase Effective Date according to its Pro Rata Share and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
(v)  
Limit on Amount. Any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.22 may not cause the total amount of the Commitments to exceed $250,000,000.
 
(vi)  
No Default or Unmatured Default; Representations and Warranties. There shall exist no Default or Unmatured Default on the Commitment Increase Effective Date. Without limiting that sentence, the representations and warranties contained in Article V must be true and correct in all material respects as of such Commitment Increase Effective Date except to the extent any such representation is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation shall have been true and correct on and as of such earlier date. If a Default or Unmatured Default exists on such Commitment Increase Effective Date, or such representations and warranties are not true and correct to the extent and as required in the second sentence of this Section 2.22.5(vi), the Borrower shall not request an increase of, and may not increase, the Aggregate Commitment.
 
(vii)  
No Obligation. No Existing Lender shall be required to increase its Commitment in the event that the Borrower asks such Existing Lender to provide all or a portion of any increase in the Aggregate Commitment desired by the Borrower.
 


ARTICLE III

YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES


3.1 Yield Protection. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i)  
subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender or the LC Issuer in respect of its Eurodollar Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein, or

(ii)  
imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances), or

(iii)  
imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer of making, funding or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans, or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer in connection with its Eurodollar Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Eurodollar Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans or Commitment or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, in connection with such Eurodollar Loans, Commitment, Facility LCs or participations therein, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

3.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender or the LC Issuer determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or the LC Issuer, any Lending Installation of such Lender or the LC Issuer or any corporation controlling such Lender or the LC Issuer is increased as a result of a Change, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender or the LC Issuer, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or the LC Issuer the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender or the LC Issuer determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Credit Exposure or its Commitment to make Loans and issue or participate in Facility LCs, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender or the LC Issuer's policies as to capital adequacy). "Change" means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or the LC Issuer or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender or the LC Issuer. "Risk-Based Capital Guidelines" means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards," including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

3.3 Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender determines that maintenance of its Eurodollar Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or if the Required Lenders determine that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Advances are not available or (ii) the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining Eurodollar Advances, then the Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurodollar Advances and require any affected Eurodollar Advances to be repaid or converted to Floating Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4.

3.4 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Eurodollar Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurodollar Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Advance.

3.5 Taxes.

(i)  
All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent hereunder or under any Note or Facility LC Application shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

(ii)  
In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or Facility LC Application or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note or any Facility LC Application ("Other Taxes").

(iii)  
The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent, the LC Issuer and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Agent, the LC Issuer or such Lender as a result of its Commitment, any Loans made by it hereunder, or otherwise in connection with its participation in this Agreement and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Agent, the LC Issuer or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.

(iv)  
Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a "Non-U.S. Lender") agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, (i) deliver to the Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to the Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

(v)  
For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv), above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Non-U.S. Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under clause (iv), above, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such Taxes.

(vi)  
Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(vii)  
If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

3.6 Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

Each of the Loan Parties and its Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership (in the case of Subsidiaries only) or limited liability company duly and properly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite authority to conduct its respective business in each jurisdiction in which its respective business is conducted and where the failure to do so would cause a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2 Authorization and Validity. Each Loan Party has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by the Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which the Loan Party is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the applicable Loan Party enforceable against the applicable Loan Party in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.

5.3 No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by a Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation by it of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof by it will violate (i) any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on any such Loan Party or (ii) any such Loan Party's articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of organization, by-laws, or operating or other management agreement, as the case may be, or (iii) the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which any such Loan Party is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or except for the Liens required by the terms of Loan Documents, result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of any such Loan Party pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement. Except for the recordation of any applicable Collateral Documents with any applicable governmental authority, no order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, which has not been obtained by any Loan Party, is required to be obtained by any Loan Party in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the borrowings under this Agreement, the payment and performance by the Borrower of the Obligations or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.

The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of each Loan Party in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.

5.7 Litigation and Contingent Obligations. There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting any Loan Party which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of any Credit Extensions.

No Loan Party has any knowledge that any Plan fails to comply in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulation. Neither the Borrower nor any other member of the Controlled Group has withdrawn from any Plan or initiated steps to do so, and no steps have been taken to reorganize or terminate any Plan.

5.10 Accuracy of Information. No information, exhibit or report furnished by the Borrower or any of the other Loan Parties to the Agent or to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents contained any misstatement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

5.12 Material Agreements.

Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in (i) any agreement to which it is a party, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing Indebtedness.

The Loan Parties have complied with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective Property except for any failure to comply with any of the foregoing which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.14 Ownership of Properties. Except as set forth on Schedule 2, on the date of this Agreement, the Loan Parties will have good title, free of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, to all of the Property and assets reflected in the Borrower's most recent consolidated financial statements provided to the Agent as owned by the Loan Parties. Except for the Permitted Liens, liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to the Mortgages do constitute and will constitute valid first priority Liens under applicable law. Borrower will take all such action as will be necessary or advisable to establish such Lien of the Collateral Agent and its priority as described in the preceding sentence at or prior to the time required for such purpose, and there will be as of the date of execution and delivery of the Mortgages no necessity for any further action in order to protect, preserve and continue such Lien and such priority except for (i) the filing of continuation statements to continue financing statements (filed as fixture filings) upon the expiration thereof and (ii) for the recordation of the Calder Mortgage and for the recording of the Mortgages (other than the Calder Mortgage) all of which recordation of such Mortgages (other than the Calder Mortgage and Mortgages entered into after the Previous Closing Date) shall have occurred on the Previous Closing Date (or within one Business Day following the Previous Closing Date provided that the title insurance policy relating to such Mortgages (other than the Calder Mortgage and Mortgages entered into after the Previous Closing Date) provides coverage as of the Previous Closing Date based on pro forma policies delivered and accepted on or before the Previous Closing Date).
 
5.15 Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. The Borrower (a) is not an entity deemed to hold "plan assets" within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 of an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code), and assuming the source of the Loans does not in any case include the assets of any employee benefit plan, neither the execution of this Agreement nor the making of Credit Extensions hereunder gives rise to a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and (b) the Borrower is an "operating company" as defined in 29 C.F.R 2510-101 (c) or "benefit plan investors" (as defined in 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(f)) do not own 25% or more of the value of any class of equity interests in the Borrower.

5.16 Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the officers of the Borrower consider the effect of Environmental Laws on the business of the Loan Parties, in the course of which they identify and evaluate potential risks and liabilities accruing to the Borrower due to Environmental Laws. On the basis of this consideration, the Borrower has concluded that Environmental Laws cannot reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.18 Public Utility Holding Company Act.

ARTICLE VIII

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES


8.1 Acceleration; Facility LC Collateral Account.

(i)  
If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender and the Borrower will be and become thereby unconditionally obligated, without any further notice, act or demand, to pay to the Collateral Agent an amount in immediately available funds, which funds shall be held in the Facility LC Collateral Account, equal to the difference of (x) the amount of LC Obligations at such time, less (y) the amount on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account at such time which is free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties and has not been applied against the Obligations (such difference, the "Collateral Shortfall Amount"). If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may (a) terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives, and (b) upon notice to the Borrower and in addition to the continuing right to demand payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement, make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Collateral Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account.

(ii)  
If at any time while any Default is continuing, the Agent determines that the Collateral Shortfall Amount at such time is greater than zero, the Agent may make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Collateral Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account.

(iii)  
The Collateral Agent may at any time or from time to time after funds are deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account, apply such funds to the payment of the Obligations and any other amounts as shall from time to time have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lenders or the LC Issuer.

(iv)  
At any time while any Default is continuing, neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account. After all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated, any funds remaining in the Facility LC Collateral Account shall be distributed to Borrower or paid to whomever may be legally entitled thereto at such time.

(v)  
If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

 
(vi)  
The Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise the remedies and other rights with respect to the Collateral provided in and subject to the Collateral Documents.

8.2 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.2, the Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all of the Lenders:

 
(i)  
Extend the final maturity of any Loan, or extend the expiry date of any Facility LC to a date after the Facility Termination Date or postpone any regularly scheduled payment of principal of any Loan or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof or any Reimbursement Obligation related thereto, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon or Reimbursement Obligation related thereto.

(ii)  
Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders.

(iii)  
Extend the Facility Termination Date, or reduce the amount or extend the payment date for, the mandatory payments required under Section 2.4, or increase the amount of the Aggregate Commitment, except as provided in Section 2.22, or of the Commitment of any Lender hereunder or the commitment to issue Facility LCs, or permit the Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement.

(iv)  
Amend this Section 8.2.

(v)  
Release any Guarantor except as provided in Section 6.12(iii) or, except as provided in the Collateral Documents, agree to subordinate the Lenders' Liens with respect to all or substantially all of the Collateral.

(vi)  
Release substantially all of the Collateral, provided that the Lenders acknowledge that the Agent may alone instruct the Collateral Agent to release any Collateral as and to the extent provided in Section 10.16.

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Agent, and no amendment of any provision relating to the LC Issuer shall be effective without the written consent of the LC Issuer. The Agent may (i) waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.3.3 and (ii) implement any flex pricing provisions contained in the fee letter described in Section 10.13 or any commitment letter delivered in connection with the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as, in the case of any implementation of any flex-pricing provisions, the Agent's actions would not require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section.

8.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC Issurer, the Agent or the Collateral Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Agent, the LC Issuer, the Lenders and the Collateral Agent until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.

The Borrower hereby further agrees to indemnify the Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer and each Lender, their respective affiliates, and each of their directors, officers and employees against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer any Lender or any affiliate is a party thereto) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Credit Extension hereunder except to the extent that they are determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification.

(iii)  
The Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable for, and the Loan Parties agree that they shall immediately pay to the Agent and the Lenders when incurred and shall indemnify, defend and hold the Lenders harmless from and against, all loss, cost, liability, damage and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense and settlement of claims) that the Agent or the Lenders may suffer or incur as mortgagees as a result of, or in connection in any way with any applicable Environmental Laws (including the assertion that any lien existing pursuant to the Environmental Laws takes priority over the lien or security interests of the Collateral Agent or Lenders), or any environmental assessment or study from time to time reasonably undertaken or requested by the Agent or any Lenders or breach of any covenant or undertaking by the Loan Parties.

9.15 Business Days. Except as provided in the definition of "Interest Period" in Article I above, if any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents requires that the Borrower perform any act (other than to make a payment) on a day that is not a Business Day, then the action shall be deemed to be due on the first day thereafter that is a Business Day; and in the case of a payment, shall be due on the last Business Day prior to the date that is not a Business Day but upon which the payment is due.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT.

Accordingly, when the Borrower opens an account, the Agent and the Lenders will ask for the Borrower's name, tax identification number, business address, and other information that will allow the Agent and the Lenders to identify the Borrower. The Agent and the Lenders may also ask to see the Borrower's legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.

The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Agent.

10.3 General Immunity. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

10.5 Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

10.6 Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Agent may execute any of its duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

10.8 Agent's Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, in proportion to their Commitments immediately prior to such termination) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with any dispute between the Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Agent in connection with any dispute between the Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(vii) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

10.9 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

10.10 Rights as a Lender. In the event the Agent is a Lender, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Loans as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, at any time when the Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. The Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to be remain a Lender.

10.11 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

10.12 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent or, if no successor Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Agent's giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Agent hereunder. If the Agent has resigned and no successor Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Agent, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of an Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event that there is a successor to the Agent by merger, or the Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 10.12, then the term "Prime Rate" as used in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Agent.

10.13 Agent and Arranger Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent and the Arranger, for their respective accounts, the fees agreed to by the Borrower, the Agent and the Arranger pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated August 26, 2005, or as otherwise agreed from time to time.

10.14 Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that the Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate's directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X.

10.15 Execution of Collateral Documents. The Lenders hereby empower and authorize the Agent to cause the Collateral Agent, to execute and deliver to the Borrower on their behalf the Security Agreement(s) and all related financing statements and any financing statements, agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Security Agreement(s).

10.16 Collateral Releases. The Lenders acknowledge that the Collateral Agent is authorized to execute and deliver to the Borrower on their behalf any agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect any releases of Collateral which shall be permitted by the terms of this Agreement (including, for example, lease, sale or other disposition of Property permitted in Section 6.12) or of any other Loan Document or which shall otherwise have been approved by the Required Lenders (or, if required by the terms of Section 8.2, all of the Lenders) in writing, without further authorization or consent from the Lenders; and without limiting any other consents or authorizations provided by the Lenders, the Lenders hereby consent to the Collateral Agent having and exercising that authority.

10.17 Co-Agents, Documentation Agent, Syndication Agent, etc. Neither any of the Lenders identified in this Agreement as a "co-agent" nor the Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to the Agent in Section 10.11.


ARTICLE XI

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS


11.1 Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available, but not including funds held by a Loan Party which are held by that Loan Party only as custodian or trustee (and in which that Loan Party does not have a beneficial interest) such as, (by way of example and not limitation), Horseman’s Accounts, and which are clearly labeled to indicate that such funds are so held by the Loan Party) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender to or for the credit or account of the Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due.

11.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Outstanding Credit Exposure (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.


ARTICLE XII

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

 
12.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each other Loan Party and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3, and (iii) any transfer by Participation must be made in compliance with Section 12.2. Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 12.1 shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with Section 12.3.3. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 12.1 does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3. The Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

12.2 Participations.

12.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities ("Participants") participating interests in any Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Outstanding Credit Exposure and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Collateral Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

12.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Credit Extension or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 8.2 or of any other Loan Document.

12.2.3 Benefit of Certain Provisions. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender. The Borrower further agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of and bound by the provisions of Section 2.21 and Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.3, provided that (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower, and (ii) any Participant not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender.
 
12.3 Assignments.

12.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks or other entities ("Purchasers") all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall either be in an amount equal to the entire applicable Commitment and Loans of the assigning Lender or (unless each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consents) be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000. The amount of the assignment shall be based on the Commitment or outstanding Loans (if the Commitment has been terminated) subject to the assignment, determined as of the date of such assignment or as of the "Trade Date," if the "Trade Date" is specified in the assignment.

      12.3.2 Consents. The consent of the Borrower shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing. The consent of the Agent shall be required for each assignment. Any consent required under this Section 12.3.2 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

12.3.3 Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Agent of an assignment, together with any consents required by Sections 12.3.1 and 12.3.2, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Agent (payable by a party other than a Loan Party) for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by the Agent), such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment. The assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure under the applicable assignment agreement constitutes "plan assets" as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be "plan assets" under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and the transferor Lender shall be released with respect to the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure assigned to such Purchaser without any further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Agent. In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the applicable agreement. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.3 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.2. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.3, the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

      12.3.4 Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Louisville, Kentucky a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

12.4 Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender's possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation any information contained in any Reports; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 9.11 of this Agreement.

12.5 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5(iv).


ARTICLE XIII

NOTICES


13.1 Notices. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.10 with respect to borrowing notices, all notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including electronic transmission, facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (x) in the case of the Borrower, any other Loan Party, or the Agent, at the address of Borrower or facsimile number of Borrower set forth on the signature pages hereof, (y) in the case of any Lender, at its address or facsimile number set forth below its signature hereto, or (z) in the case of any party, at such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Agent and the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.1. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the facsimile number specified in this Section and confirmation of receipt is received, (ii) if given by mail, 72 hours after such communication is deposited in the mails with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid, or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered (or, in the case of electronic transmission, received) at the address specified in this Section; provided that notices to the Agent under Article II shall not be effective until received.

13.2 Change of Address. The Borrower, any other Loan Party, the Agent and any Lender may each change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the other parties hereto.


ARTICLE XIV

COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS

 
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Except as provided in Article IV, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the LC Issuer, the Lenders and the Departing Lenders and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of such parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
 


ARTICLE XV

CHOICE OF LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL


15.1 CHOICE OF LAW. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINING A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS) OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.

15.2 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY COURT SITTING IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE LC ISSUER OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY THE BORROWER AGAINST THE AGENT, THE LC ISSUER OR ANY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE AGENT, THE LC ISSUER OR ANY LENDER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.

15.3 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, THE AGENT, THE LC ISSUER AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.

“Level II Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status and (ii) the Leverage Ratio is less than 2.00 to 1.00.

“Level III Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status or Level II Status and (ii) the Leverage Ratio is less than 3.00 to 1.00.

“Level IV Status” exists at any date if the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status or Level III Status.

The Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing table based on the Borrower's Status, adjusted quarterly and measured on the most recent four fiscal quarters ending on the determination date as reflected in the then most recent Financials. Adjustments, if any, to the Applicable Margin or Applicable Fee Rate shall be effective five Business Days after the Agent has received the applicable Financials. If the Borrower fails to deliver the Financials to the Agent at the time required pursuant to Section 6.1, then the Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate shall be the highest Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate set forth in the foregoing table until five days after such Financials are so delivered.

September 23, 2005


Churchill Downs California Company
c/o Churchill Downs Incorporated
700 Central Avenue
Louisville, KY 40208
Attn: Rebecca C. Reed
 
Re Final Modifications to Asset Purchase Agreement
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
Reference is made to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of July 6, 2005, as modified by those certain letter agreements dated August 1, 2005, August 8, 2005, August 12, 2005 and September 7, 2005 (as so amended and assigned and as in effect on the date hereof, the "APA"), between Hollywood Park Land Company, LLC ("Buyer") and Churchill Downs California Company ("Seller"). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the APA.
 
Pursuant to Section 13.4 of the APA, Buyer and Seller agree to amend the APA as follows:
 
Changes to HSR Provisions
 
1. Deletion of Certain HSR Provisions: The following provisions are hereby deleted in their entirety: (i) Section 3.7.1(f), (ii) clause (i) of Section 4.4, (iii) Section 8.1.1 and (iv) Section 8.2.1.
 
2. Modification to Section 5.4: Section 5.4 is hereby revised, in its entirety, to read as follows:
 
"5.4 Approvals. Except as set forth in Section 5.4 of the Disclosure Schedule, no approval, authorization, consent or order or action of or filing with any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained by Buyer for the execution and delivery by Buyer of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the consummation by it of the Transactions. Buyer has received all required consents from its lender(s) necessary for Buyer to execute this Agreement and consummate the Transactions. To the knowledge of Buyer, there are no facts relating to the identity or circumstances of Buyer that would prevent or materially delay obtaining any of the required consents."
 
3. Modification to Section 8.1.4: Section 8.1.4 is hereby revised, in its entirety, to read as follows:
 
"8.1.4 Actions or Proceedings. There shall not be instituted or pending any action or proceeding by any Person before any Governmental Authority, (i) seeking to restrain, prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ownership or operation by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of all or any material portion of the Assets or the Racetrack Business or assets of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or to compel Buyer or any of its Affiliates to dispose of all or any material portion of the Assets or of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or (ii) seeking to require divestiture by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of any Assets or any portion of the Racetrack Business. There shall not be any action taken, or any Laws enacted, enforced, promulgated, issued or deemed applicable to the purchase of the Assets, by any Governmental Authority, that, in the reasonable judgment of Buyer could, directly or indirectly, result in any of the consequences referred to in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section; provided that Buyer acknowledges the application of this Section to Laws in effect as of the date hereof would not have such consequences."
 
4. New Buyer Representation: A new Section 5.11 is hereby added to the Buyer's representations:
 
"5.11. HSR Representation. The California Public Employees Retirement System ("CalPERS"), Buyers ultimate parent entity for purposes of the HSR Act, is a unit of the State and Consumer Services Agency of the State of California. Counsel for CalPERS confirmed a conversation between counsel and the Federal Trade Commission, Bureau of Competition, Premerger Notification Office ("PNO"), wherein the PNO advised counsel for CalPERS that, so long as CalPERS itself is not a separate corporation (which it is not), CalPERS is deemed an agency or political subdivision of a state government for purposes of the HSR Act and, as such, is not an "entity" so far as the HSR Act is concerned. As a result, CalPERS, is not a "person" required to file notification under the HSR Act. All of the entities directly or indirectly controlled by CalPERS, and which will directly or indirectly control the Assets upon consummation of the transaction, including Buyer, are unincorporated entities."
 
Changes to Purchase Price
 
5. Purchase Price Reduction: Section 3.3.1(c) is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
 
"(c) $2,500,000, the amount of the reduction referenced in Section 12.2. "
 
Changes to Jensen Box Clean-up Obligations
 
6. Changes to Section 3.4.10: Section 3.4.10 is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

"3.4.10 Certain Environmental Liabilities.

7. Changes to Section 3.3.2(e): Section 3.3.2(e) of the APA is hereby amended by adding, at the end thereof, the following clause (5) (and the word "and" is moved from the end of clause (3) to the end of clause (4)):

"(5) claims for the disposal, depositing, placing, presence, storage, dumping or other release of any material or substance in, to, at, onto, from or under any waste pits located at the northeast corner of the training track on the Real Property prior to or subsequent to the Closing Date including, without limitation, any related investigation, remediation, clean-up, removal, disposal, transportation of waste and closure activities relating to the contamination identified in the sampling conducted of the waste pits in July 2005."
 
8. Deletion of Section 9.3.6: Section 9.3.6 of the APA is hereby deleted.

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.
 
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).
 
(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, the Company and any Affiliate of 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.
 
(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
 
(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):
 

If the Diligence Notice is Delivered
or Deemed Delivered
Percentage
(on a Fully-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).
 
(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.
 
(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”.

(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).

(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.

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.

(vii) sell, lease, sublease, license or otherwise dispose of any Assets or portion of the Real Property or any other material assets or property of the Company or any Affiliate except (A) pursuant to existing contracts or commitments, (B) in the ordinary course consistent with past practice or (C) in accordance with Section 8.04 hereof; or
 
(viii) enter into any agreement or commitment to do any of the foregoing.
 
Section 6.03. Sale of Assets, Real Property and/or Racetrack Business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Parent shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, sell, lease, convey, transfer or other otherwise dispose of, or enter into any agreement to sell, lease, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of, any material parts of the Assets, Real Property and/or the Racetrack Business prior to September 23, 2008.

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.
 
(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”).
 
(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.

Re: Certain Waste Disposal Matters and Extension of Phase II Period

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of July 6, 2005 (as amended and in effect on the date hereof, the "APA"), between Bay Meadows Land Company, LLC ("Buyer") and Churchill Downs California Company ("Seller"). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the APA.

Pursuant to Section 13.4 of the APA, Buyer and Seller agree to amend the APA as follows:

1. Section 3.4.10 of the APA is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

3.4.10 Certain Environmental Liabilities. Any and all liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages, injuries, obligations, judgments, actions, causes of action, fines, assessments, penalties or expenses, including consultants' and attorneys' fees resulting from (a) the direct or indirect disposal or arrangement for the disposal of Hazardous Substances from the Real Property to, at or onto a location other than the Real Property from September 10, 1999 through the Closing Date, including without limitation to the Dominguez Channel Watershed/Consolidated Slip, (b) any property owned, leased or operated by Seller (other than the Real Property) or (c) the disposal, depositing, placing, presence, storage, dumping or other release of any material or substance in, to, at, onto, from or under any waste pits located at the northeast corner of the training track on the Real Property prior to the Closing Date including, without limitation, any related investigation, remediation, clean-up, removal, disposal, transportation of waste and closure activities ("Remedial Activities") relating to the contamination identified in the sampling conducted of the waste pits in July 2005.

2. A new Section 9.3.6 is hereby added to the APA as follows:

9.3.6. Control of Certain Environmental Liabilities: (a) Seller shall have the right to control the Remedial Activities relating to those matters for which it has accepted responsibility pursuant to Section 3.4.10(c), provided that all such Remedial Activities shall (i) comply with all applicable Environmental Laws, (ii) be performed at a time and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the operation or future redevelopment of the Real Property and (iii) be undertaken promptly and concluded as expeditiously as practicable using commercially reasonable efforts, subject to the schedules and approvals of the applicable Governmental Authorities. The obligations of Seller in respect thereof shall survive the Closing Date, and the completion of such Remedial Activities shall not be a condition to the Closing. Seller shall have the exclusive right in its sole discretion to challenge, appeal or seek amendment, modification, repeal or termination of any order issued by a Governmental Authority in connection with the Remedial Activities, including a suspension or stay of any required work while such action is pending.

(b) Seller shall promptly provide to Buyer copies of all work plans, laboratory and other reports, analytical results and final data and shall engage in reasonable consultation with Buyer, including considering in good faith any comments of Buyer relating to any requirements of Environmental Laws and relating to any submissions to Governmental Authorities. Buyer may observe and be present during the performance of any Remedial Activities and may participate in meetings or discussions with Governmental Authorities. Neither Buyer nor its authorized representatives shall, nor shall Buyer or its representatives attempt to, lobby, demand, or interfere with, Seller's discussions with Governmental Authorities regarding the Remedial Activities in an effort to influence those Governmental Authorities with regard to what Seller is required to do in completing the Remedial Activities. Buyer may contact Governmental Authorities as appropriate in Buyer's reasonable discretion to obtain permits and approvals, including those related to future site use. Buyer may contact other Governmental Authorities as appropriate in Buyer's reasonable discretion to obtain permits and approvals, including those related to future site use (e.g., the planning department, building department), without prior notice or consent if the subject of the Remedial Activities is not expected to be discussed. In the event that the subject is addressed, Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to avoid any substantive discussions with the relevant Governmental Authority and will instead refer the Governmental Authority to Seller; provided that, with respect to any discussions Seller may have with the Governmental Authorities, Buyer may be present at or during such discussions.

3. Section 12.1(a) of the APA is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

(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 22, 2005 (the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on August 22, 2005 shall be referred to herein as the "Phase II Period"); provided, however, that with respect to all items other than the Open Phase II Items (as defined below), any Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate as defined in Section 12.1(e) shall be submitted to Seller on August 15, 2005, together with all supporting documentation relating to such Environmental Remediation Cost Estimates. As used herein, the term "Open Phase II Items" means (i) the "Former Impoundment Area" listed as Item #4 in the Draft Table 1, Identified Environmental Issues, Remedial Actions, and Estimated Costs, prepared by EKI and dated August 1, 2005 ("Draft Table"), and (ii) the "Methane Investigation, Remediation, and Mitigation in Former Oil Field Area", listed as Item #8 in the Draft Table.

4. Section 12.1(e) of the APA is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

(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 Phase II Report (as defined below); 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. An "Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate" shall mean 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). In connection with the written submission of any Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate to Seller, Buyer shall provide to Seller 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. Buyer may, but is not obligated to, provide to Seller on or prior to the end of the Phase II Period a submission (the "Phase II Report") which may consist of (A) as to any items which are not Open Phase II items, an Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate, which shall be in the same form delivered to Seller on August 15, 2005, (B) additional Environmental Remediation Cost Estimates relating to the Open Phase II Items (together with the Environmental Remediation Cost Estimates referred to in clause (A), the "Buyer Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate") and (C) all supporting documentation relating to such Environmental Remediation Cost Estimates and otherwise required by this Agreement. If, within six business days following Seller's receipt of the Phase II Report by Buyer, Seller does not approve the Buyer Environmental Remediation Cost 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 Final Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate. If Seller does approve the Buyer Environmental Remediation Cost Estimate, Seller shall, within six 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). Seller shall exercise its rights pursuant to this subsection no later than August 30, 2005, six business days following the end of the Phase 11 Period.

5. While this letter agreement does not amend Section 12.3 of the APA, Buyer and Seller agree that, pursuant to Section 12.3, the time period for Buyer and Seller to either agree on the Final Remediation Cost Estimate or submit their respective cost estimates to LLF ends on September 7, 2005 and the time period for LLF to review both submissions and prepare a brief summary of its analysis of the cost estimates and its conclusion regarding the correct cost estimate to both Buyer and Seller ends on September 14, 2005.

6. A new Section 12.4 is hereby added to the APA as follows:

12.4 All time periods in Article 12 shall end at 5:00 PM (PST) on the dates referenced therein.

Nothing in this Amendment shall prevent Buyer or its authorized representatives from complying with any independent obligation to which they may be subject under any Law.

Neither this letter 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 letter agreement or the APA.

This letter agreement, once Buyer and Seller shall have executed and delivered a counterpart hereof, shall become effective and binding. Except as expressly provided above, the APA is hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect and nothing contained in this letter agreement shall be deemed to waive, alter or otherwise amend any provision of the APA. This letter agreement and the APA constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this letter agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this letter agreement. This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of California.

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED COMPLETES SALE OF
HOLLYWOOD PARK TO BAY MEADOWS LAND COMPANY

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Sept. 23, 2005) - Churchill Downs Incorporated (“CDI” or “Company”) (Nasdaq: CHDN) and Bay Meadows Land Company LLC (“BMLC”) today announced that CDI has completed the sale of Hollywood Park racetrack and surrounding acreage at the Inglewood, Calif., site to Hollywood Park Land Company (“HPLC”), an affiliate of BMLC, for $257.5 million. CDI will use proceeds from the sale to pay down debt.

The $260 million sale price announced on July 6 was reduced at closing by $2.5 million to cover the costs of addressing certain physical conditions at the property.

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 BMLC’s racetrack in Northern California, Bay Meadows. CDI will have an option to reinvest in Hollywood Park should significant gaming activities become available at Hollywood.

CDI acquired Hollywood Park in September 1999 for $140 million from 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 to Pinnacle Entertainment for the operation of a card club.

Hollywood Park Racing Association (“HPRA”), the HPLC affiliate that will conduct racing operations, has received racing dates from the California Horse Racing Board and will offer 97 days of live racing at Hollywood Park in 2006, subject to the completion of further licensing requirements. HPRA has committed to continuing live racing at Hollywood Park for a minimum of three years and will aggressively pursue legislative changes to improve economic conditions for the horse racing industry in California. HPLC will also seek entitlements from the City of Inglewood to permit alternative uses for the current Hollywood Park racetrack site, in the event that efforts to seek authorization for expanded gaming activities at California racetracks are unsuccessful.

Hollywood Park is located 11 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles and three miles from Los Angeles International Airport. The racetrack offers live racing during traditional spring/summer and autumn meets. Hollywood Park will conduct its 2005 Autumn Meet from Nov. 9 through Dec. 19. The racetrack also conducts simulcast wagering on site when it is not offering live racing. Information about Hollywood Park is available via the Internet at www.hollywoodpark.com.

Hollywood Park Land Company, LLC and Hollywood Park Racing Association are affiliates of Bay Meadows Land Company, the owner and operator of the Bay Meadows Racetrack in San Mateo, Calif., and 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 privately owned investment partnership (www.sbfund.com).

Churchill Downs Incorporated, headquartered in Louisville, Ky., owns and operates world-renowned horse racing venues throughout the United States. CDI’s six racetracks in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Louisiana host many of North America’s most prestigious races, including the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks, Arlington Million and Louisiana Derby. CDI racetracks have hosted nine Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships - more than any other North American racing company. CDI also owns off-track betting facilities and has interests in various television production, telecommunications and racing services companies that support CDI’s network of simulcasting and racing operations. CDI trades on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol CHDN and can be found on the Internet at www.churchilldownsincorporated.com.
