Revolving Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.2.4 shall initially be Floating Rate Loans and thereafter may be continued as Floating Rate Loans or converted into Eurodollar Loans in the manner provided in Section 2.11 and subject to the other conditions and limitations set forth in this Article II.

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 Days 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 Agents 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 Borrowers 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 Agents 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 Lenders 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 Lenders 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 Lenders 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 Borrowers 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 Providers 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 Providers 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 Issuers 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. |

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 Partys 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 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).

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 Agents 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.

(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.

Accordingly, when the Borrower opens an account, the Agent and the Lenders will ask for the Borrowers 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 Borrowers legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.

The Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term Agent, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives.

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.
10.4 No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Unmatured Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of the Borrower or any Guarantor of any of the Obligations or of any of the Borrowers or any such Guarantors respective Subsidiaries. The Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by the Borrower to the Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by the Borrower to the Agent (either in its capacity as Agent, or as Collateral Agent, or in its individual capacity).
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. The Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Agents duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.
10.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Agent.
10.8 Agents 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 Agents 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 Affiliates 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), Horsemans 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 Lenders 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 Lenders 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 Lenders 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 Lenders 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

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.

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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Churchill Downs Incorporated (Borrower), Arlington Management Services, LLC (AMS), Arlington OTB Corp. (AOTBC), Arlington Park Racecourse, LLC (APR), Calder Race Course, Inc. (Calder), CDIP, LLC (CDIP), CDIP Holdings, LLC (CDIP Holdings), Charlson Industries, Inc.

(VSI); AMS, AOTBC, APR, Calder, CDIP, CDIP Holdings, CII, CDIC, CDLHC, CDLVPC, CDMC, CDSP, Ellis Park, Quad City, RCA, Tropical and VSI individually are referred to herein as a Guarantor and collectively are referred to herein as the Guarantors, in connection with the execution and delivery of that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 23, 2005 (the 2005 Credit Agreement) among Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders (as defined in the 2005 Credit Agreement), the LC Issuer (as defined in the 2005 Credit Agreement), the Collateral Agent (as defined in the 2005 Credit Agreement) and the agent (as defined in the 2005 Credit Agreement) together with the schedules and exhibits thereto. We are rendering this opinion (the opinion) pursuant to Section 4.1(i)(e) of the 2005 Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Opinion shall have the meanings assigned to those terms in the 2005 Credit Agreement and our opinion dated April , 2003 (the Prior Opinion).
In connection with the opinions rendered in this Opinion, we have reviewed the following documents and instruments all dated as of September 23, 2005 (the documents below are collectively referred to in this Opinion as the 2005 Documents):
1. 2005 Credit Agreement;
2. Amended and Restated Guaranty (the 2005 Guaranty);
3. Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement (the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement);
4. General Reaffirmation and Modification Agreement (the Reaffirmation);
5. Notes made by Borrower to the Lenders receiving Notes (the Notes).
In rendering their Opinion, in addition to the 2005 Documents enumerated above, we have reviewed and examined such documents, instruments and other matters which we considered necessary or appropriate for the purpose of rendering this Opinion. In such review, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. As to any question of fact material to or included in this Opinion, we have assumed the accuracy and validity of and have relied upon the certificates of officers of the Loan Parties as well as the certificates and oral communications of certain public officials. We have also assumed (i) the due authorization, execution, and delivery of the Previous Credit Agreement, the 2005 Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents by the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Departing Lenders (if any) and the LC Issuer (each individually a Recipient and collectively, the Recipients) to the extent they are parties thereto, (ii) the entity existence and due authorization by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action of the Credit Agreement (as defined in the Prior Opinion) and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Prior Opinion) by ARO, AMS, Calder, Tropical and Quad City and that such documents are within the corporate or limited liability company power and authority of such entities, (iii) the entity existence and due authorization by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action of the 2004A Amendment to Loan Documents dated as of June 1, 2004 (the 2004A Amendment), the 2004B Amendment to Loan Documents dated as of October 14, 2004 (the 2004B Amendment) and the other 2004B Documents (as defined in our opinion dated October 14, 2004) by the Loan Parties and that such documents are within the corporate or limited liability company power and authority of such entities, (iv) the entity existence and due authorization by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action of 2005 Credit Agreement and the other 2005 Documents by AMS, APR, Calder, CII, CDLHC, CDLVPC, Quad City, Tropical and VSI and that such documents are within the corporate or limited company power and authority of such entities, and (v) that the Previous Credit Agreement, the 2005 Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute valid and legally binding obligations of each of the Recipients.
Whenever the phrase to our knowledge or similar language is used in this Opinion, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Opinion, it means that, in the course of our representation of the Loan Parties, no fact came to the attention of the lawyers in our Firm who have had active involvement in preparing this Opinion indicating the contrary. Except, however, for certificates and representations which we have obtained from the Loan Parties and certain public officials concerning the facts underlying the opinions expressed in this Opinion and except as may be otherwise expressly disclosed in this Opinion, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts.
Based upon the subject to the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations below, we are of the opinion that:
1. Borrower, CDIC, CDMC, and Ellis Park are each corporations validly existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and based upon certificates dated September 13, 2005, of the Kentucky Secretary of State, each has paid all fees due and owing to the Office of the Kentucky Secretary of State, has delivered to the Kentucky Secretary of State its most recent annual report as required by KRS 271B.16-220, and has not filed articles of dissolution.
2. CDIP, CDEP Holdings and CDSP are each limited liability companies validly existing under the laws of Commonwealth of Kentucky, and based upon certificates dated September 13, 2005, of the Kentucky Secretary of State, each has paid all fees due and owing to the office of the Kentucky Secretary of State, has delivered to the Kentucky Secretary of State its most recent annual report as required by KRS 271B.16-220, and has not filed articles of dissolution.
3. AOTBC and RCA are each corporations validly existing, and based on certificates dated September 7, 2005 obtained from the Delaware Secretary of States Office, in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
4. Each of the Borrower, AOTBC, CDIC, CDIP, CDIP Holdings, CDMC, CDSP, Ellis Park and RCA has the requisite applicable corporate or limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver the 2005 Documents to which it is a party, to perform its respective obligations under such 2005 Documents, to carry on its respective businesses as they are presently conducted and to own all of its respective properties, of which we have knowledge.
5. The execution and delivery by borrower, AOTBC, CDIC, CDIP Holdings, CDMC, CDSP, Ellis Park and RCA of the 2005 Documents to which such Loan Party is a party, the creation of the Liens created by the 2005 Documents, the performance and observance by such Loan Party of such Loan Partys respective obligations thereunder, and the receipt by such Loan Party of the Credit Extensions under the 2005 Credit Agreement [i] are within such Loan Partys, as applicable, corporate or limited liability company power, [ii] have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action on the part of such Loan party, and [iii] do not contravene,
conflict with or constitute a default under the applicable corporate or limited liability company law of the state of such Loan Partys formation, or the articles or certificate of incorporation, or articles of organization, bylaws or operating agreement of such Loan Party.
6. Subject to those matters disclosed in Paragraph 8 of the Prior Opinion, the execution and delivery by each of the Loan Parties of the 2005 Documents to which a particular Loan Party is a party and the performance by each of the Loan Parties of its respective obligations thereunder (a) require no authorization, approval or other action by or in respect of, and o notice, consent of, order of or filing with any Opinion Governmental Authority (hereinafter defined) (to our knowledge as to any court) (other than the filings and recordings referenced in Paragraphs 9 and 10 below) (b) do not contravene, conflict with or constitute a default under [x] any law or regulation of United States of America (including without limitation Regulations U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), [y] any law, rule or regulation of the United States of America or the Commonwealth of Kentucky to which any Loan Party is subject, or [z] any existing judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument or agreement of any Opinion Governmental Authority of which we have knowledge, binding upon any Loan Party or any of its properties or assets, and (c) to our knowledge, do not violate, conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any indenture, mortgage, agreement for borrowed money or other material agreement of any Loan Party. Opinion Governmental Authority means any court, administrative agency or other governmental authority of the United States of America or the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
7. CDIC and CII are the record owners of the issued membership interests of CDSP. The issued membership interests of CDSP have been duly and validly issued.
8. Each of the 2005 Documents to which any Loan Party is a party has been executed and delivered by such Loan Party, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan party in accordance with the applicable 2005 Documents respective terms.
9. The 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement creates a valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement). We previously provided to you, which you may refer to an continue to rely on, certain opinions in our Prior Opinion on the perfection of the security interests in the Collateral. You also previously received a legal opinion dated October 14, 2004 from Lemle & Kelleher, L.L.P. which contained certain opinions on the perfection of the security interests in certain of the Collateral (the Louisiana Perfection Opinions). To the extent the security interest in the Collateral granted under the Previous Security Agreement (as defined in the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement) was perfected under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) immediately prior to entering the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement, the perfection of the security interest in such Collateral shall continue after entering into the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement, except for [i] UCC continuation statements which must be filed not sooner than six (6) months before, and
not later than, the expiration of the five (5) years from the date the original Financing Statements were filed, and each fifth anniversary thereafter, and [ii] additional filings which may be necessary if any Pledgor should change its respective name, identity, corporate structure or jurisdiction of incorporation or formation.
10. After giving effect to the delivery to the Collateral Agent of the certificates representing the CII shares of stock included in the Pledged Securities (as defined in the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement) listed on the Pledged Shares Schedule, which is attached to and made a part of this Opinion (the Certified Pledged Shares), and the proper endorsement to the Collateral Agent (or an endorsement in blank), and assuming the continued sole possession by the Collateral Agent of such Certified Pledged Shares in Kentucky, the security interest created in favor of the Collateral Agent under the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement constitutes a valid and enforceable perfected security interest in such Certified Pledged Shares (and the proceeds thereof) in favor of the Collateral Agent under the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement. Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of the Certificated Pledged Shares, the Collateral Agent will be a protected purchaser of such Certificated Pledged Shares (within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the UCC) and will acquire its interest in such Certified Pledged Shares free of any adverse claim. To the extent that the Collateral Agent has sole possession of the Certificated Pledged Shares as described above, no filings, registrations, or recordings are required to perfect (or maintain the perfection of) the security interest created under the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement in respect of such Certificated Pledged Shares. No filing or other action, other than filings and/or recordings referenced in the Prior Opinion, in the Louisiana Perfection Opinions, in Paragraph 9 and the steps referenced in the Paragraph 10, are required to perfect the Liens in the collateral created under the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement except [i] proper steps to obtain control (as defined in Article 9 of the UCC) may be required to perfect any security interests in Deposit Accounts (as defined in the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement), [ii] providing a more particularized description of Commercial Tort Claims as defined in the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement (if any exist or come to exist), and [iii] taking appropriate steps to note Liens on any certificates of title issues in connection with any Goods (as defined in the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement).
11. No Credit Extension will constitute a loan for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Security or Margin Stock as such terms are used in Regulations T, U, and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States.
12. No Loan Party is an investment company or a company controlled by an investment company, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
13. No Loan Party is a holding company, or a subsidiary company of a holding company, or an affiliate of a holding company or of a subsidiary company of holding company within the meaning of the Public Utility Company Act of 1935, as amended.
14. To our knowledge, there is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding before any Opinion Governmental Authority or arbitrator involving or affecting Borrower or any other Loan Party or the business, assets, operations or financial condition of Borrower or any other Loan Party that purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the 2005 Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Based solely upon our examination of records maintained in the offices of the Clerks to the Jefferson County, Kentucky (in Louisville) for the periods disclosed on the Litigation Search Schedule, which is attached to and made a part of this Opinion, no litigation is currently pending against any Loan Party in such courts except as disclosed on the Litigation Search Schedule.
15. Assuming that no fees, charges, benefits, or other compensation will be paid directly or indirectly, to the Agent, the Collateral Agent, or for the benefit of any Lender, except as specified in the Loan Documents, the transactions evidenced in the Loan Documents do not violate the usury laws of Kentucky.
The foregoing opinions are subject to and expressly limited by the following assumptions, qualifications and limitations, in addition to those previously set forth:
A. The opinions concerning enforceability of the 2005 Documents in Paragraph 8 above are subject to [i] all applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, preferential transfer, moratorium or similar laws of general application and court decisions affecting the rights of creditors; and [ii] general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity), including concepts of good faith, fair dealing, commercial reasonableness and unconscionability. Our opinions are also subject to any need to amend the Kentucky Mortgages to reflect any Notes executed pursuant to, and the maturity date of the loans made under, the 2005 Credit Agreement.
B. Certain rights, remedies and other provisions in the Loan Documents may be limited or rendered unenforceable by applicable Kentucky laws or judicial decisions governing such provisions, but in our opinion such laws and judicial decisions do not, subject to the other qualifications and limitations in this Opinion, render any of the Loan Documents invalid as a whole, and there exist, in the Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable law, adequate rights, remedies and provisions for the practical realization of the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Loan Documents, except for the economic consequences of any judicial, administrative or other procedural delay which may be imposed by, relate to or result from such laws and judicial decisions.
C. We have assumed that none of the Collateral is excluded from the operation of Article 9 of the UCC and, without limitation of the foregoing, we disclaim any opinion as to the enforceability of provisions of the Collateral Documents purporting to create a security interest in licenses, franchises and other similar intangible rights, and in other Collateral to the extent that such matters are governed by federal law (except as
provided in the Prior Opinion) or laws and ordinances of counties and local municipalities in Kentucky in addition to the UCC.
D. Any provisions in any of the Loan Documents for waiver of jury trial by any Loan Party, or that impose liquidated damages, penalties, forfeitures, late payment charges or an increase in the applicable interest rate upon default by any Loan Party or upon other conditions, that appoint any Recipient or others as the agent or attorney-in-fact for any Loan Party, that provide that any Recipient shall be liable only for gross negligence or willful misconduct, or that purport to select a particular court as the forum for the resolution of disputes may not be enforceable under Kentucky law but their inclusion in the Loan Documents will not impair the enforceability of the other provisions of the Loan Documents.
E. No opinion is expressed on [i] the laws, statutes and ordinances, administrative decisions, rules and regulations and other legal requirements of counties, towns, municipalities and political subdivisions of Kentucky or [ii] any law or regulation concerning securities, taxation, labor, employee benefits, environmental protection, antis-trust or unfair competition.
F. Any provisions in the Loan Documents that require any Loan Party to assemble Collateral at a place designated by any Recipient that is not reasonably convenient to such Loan Party as well as to such Recipient may not be enforceable, and any provisions contained in the Loan Documents that prohibit amendment or modification of provisions of contracts and agreements to which such Loan Party is a party may not be enforceable against persons or entities other than such Loan Party.
G. The extent of prior notice to a debtor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which a private sale may take place is subject to a standard of commercial reasonableness, and whether any particular notice specified in the Loan Documents is commercially reasonable is a question of fact in Kentucky. However, Article 9 of the UCC provides in a transaction other than a consumer transaction, that a notification of disposition sent after default and 10 days or more before the earliest time of disposition. The enforceability of the remedies and waivers available to the Recipients generally under the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement will be limited by the requirement that any non-judicial repossession of Collateral following a default be peaceable, and the requirement under the UCC of commercial reasonableness.
H. Any provisions contained in the loan Documents to the effect that the collection of accounts receivable are subject to the direction and control of any Recipient are unenforceable to the extent that they are intended to enable any such Recipient to require account debtors to make payments to any such Recipient directly before the occurrence of a default under the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement, unless such Loan Party in the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement or other Loan Documents expressly authorizes such Recipient to notify account debtors to make payments to such Recipient directly before the occurrence of a default.
I. Provisions in the Kentucky Mortgages purporting to entitle any Recipient upon default to take possession of the applicable Mortgages Property (except as provided in any applicable Kentucky statutes with respect to abandoned property), otherwise exercise dominion and control over the applicable Mortgaged Property, receive the rents, issues and profits derived from the applicable Mortgaged Property, or be entitled to the appointment of a receiver for the applicable Mortgaged Property, are within the discretion of the court.
J. Any provisions in the Kentucky Mortgages regarding power of sale, and waivers of appraisement, valuation, homestead exemption, extension, moratorium, stay, statute of limitations, redemption and marshalling of assets are unenforceable under Kentucky law but no not impair the other provisions of the Kentucky Mortgages. Foreclosure in Kentucky is by judicial action only, and the mortgagor will be vested with a right of redemption for one year following the foreclosure sale unless the amount of the foreclosure bid is at least two-thirds of the fair market value of the applicable Mortgaged Property as determined by the appraiser appointed by the court for that purpose.
K. Any provisions in the Kentucky Mortgages or other Loan Documents reciting that various actions or omissions of the Recipients shall not impair the rights and remedies of such Recipient may not be enforceable depending on the particular facts and circumstances bearing upon the conduct of such Recipient with regard to such acts or omissions.
L. The remedies available to any Recipient under any Kentucky Mortgage with regard to any personal property that constitutes a part of the Mortgaged Property and is subject to the applicable UCC (the Applicable Code) are limited by applicable provisions of the Applicable Code, including the requirements that all aspects of any disposition thereof be commercially reasonable.
M. Based on decisions of the intermediate appellate courts in Kentucky holding that what was, in substance, a contract for deed arrangement between a mortgagor and a third party constituted a breach of due on sale provisions contained in the mortgage, entitling the mortgagee to accelerate the indebtedness secured by the mortgage and commence a foreclosure action, we believe that the due on sale provisions contained in the Kentucky Mortgages applicable to Mortgaged property in Kentucky are enforceable. The courts of last resort in Kentucky, however, have not yet decided the issue of whether due on sale provisions contained in a mortgage are enforceable.
N. Provisions in any Kentucky Mortgage which provide that such Kentucky Mortgage secure future advances are limited by KRS 382.520 which provides, in part, that a mortgage secured by real estate in Kentucky may secure future advances only to the extent that the mortgage by its terms stipulates the maximum additional indebtedness which may be secured thereby. The lien of such Kentucky Mortgages will secure future advances only to the extent of the dollar amount specified in numerical paragraphs 10.15 and 9.15 of the Kentucky Leasehold Mortgage and the Kentucky Fee
Mortgage, respectively. Provisions in any Kentucky Mortgage which provide that such Kentucky Mortgages secure a line of credit or revolving credit plan are limited by KRS 382.385 which provides, in part, that a mortgage secured by real estate in Kentucky may secure payment of any or all sums due and payable under such line of credit or revolving credit plan only to the extent that the mortgage specifies the maximum principal amount of credit which may be extended under the line of credit or the maximum credit limit of the revolving credit plan which, in each case, may be outstanding at any time or times under the line of credit or plan, and which is to be secured by the mortgage. The lien of such Kentucky Mortgages will secure a line of credit or revolving credit plan only to the extent of the dollar amount specified in paragraphs D. and C. of the Kentucky Leasehold Mortgage and the Kentucky Fee Mortgage, respectively.
O. We have assumed that all of the Mortgaged Property described in any Kentucky Mortgage is located in the county in which such Kentucky Mortgage is or will be recorded and the accuracy of the descriptions of the property on which the fixtures are located and the identity of the record owners of that property.
P. The lien of a Kentucky Mortgage may be defeated as to property acquired by the Borrower after the recordation of the applicable Kentucky Mortgage if such property is sold or encumbered prior to the recordation of a modification to the applicable Kentucky Mortgage adequately describing such property and making it part of the applicable Mortgaged Property.
Q. KRS 382.365 requires a holder of a lien on real property to release the lien in the county clerks where the lien is recorded within thirty (30) days from the date of satisfaction, and any provisions in a Kentucky Mortgage applicable to Mortgaged Property in Kentucky in conflict with this requirement may not be enforceable.
R. Under Kentucky law a pledge of rents, issues and profits of real property creates only an inchoate lien on such collateral which is perfected by an act of the mortgagee subjecting such collateral to possession, such as the appointment of a receiver for the collection of such rents, issues and profits.
S. We have assumed that the Collateral exists and that each applicable Loan Party has sufficient rights in the Collateral to grant a security interest in such Collateral, and, except to the extent set forth in Paragraph 7 above and in the Prior Opinion, we express no opinion as to the nature or extent of the rights or title of any Loan Party in or to any of the Collateral.
T. We do not express any opinion with respect to the perfection of a security interest in any Collateral that constitutes cash or cash equivalents, except to the extent that such cash or cash equivalents constitute proceeds under Section 9-315 of the UCC, during any period of time when they are not held by the Collateral Agent.
U. The security interest created by any Loan Party in [i] proceeds of the Collateral and the perfection of such security interest is limited to the extent set forth
in Section 9-315 of the UCC and [ii] any after-acquired commercial tort claim is limited to the extent set forth in Section 9-204 of the UCC.
V. The Collateral Agents security interest in the Collateral constituting Accounts (as defined in the 2005 Pledge and Security Agreement) may be subject to certain rights of account debtors in respect of such Collateral, certain claims and defenses of such account debtors, and the terms of the applicable Loan Partys agreement with such account debtors.
W. We express no opinion regarding the Collateral Agents security interest in any of the Collateral consisting of claims against any government or governmental agency (including, without limitation, the United States of America or any state thereof or any agency or department of the United States of America or any state thereof).
X. Subject to the provisions of Section 9-322 of the UCC, under Section 9-322(4) of the UCC, if a security interest in chattel paper, deposit accounts, negotiable documents, instruments, investment property, or letter-of-credit rights is perfected by a method other than filing, conflicting perfected security interests in proceeds of the collateral rank according to priority in time of filing.
Y. Exception is taken to any description of a commercial tort claim in the Loan Documents only by type of collateral.
Z. Provisions contained in the Loan Documents purporting to make any Loan Party liable for attorneys fees incurred by the Recipients are enforceable only to the extent authorized by KRS 411.195, which permits payment of reasonable attorney fees owed to a person other than a salaried employee of the lienholder.
AA. We have not examined title to or ownership of any of the real or personal property intended to be encumbered pursuant to the Loan Documents and express no opinion with regard to [i] except to the extent set forth in Paragraph 7 above and in the Prior Opinion, title to or ownership of such real or personal property, [ii] except as set forth in the Prior Opinion and Paragraphs 9 and 10 above, the perfection or priority of the liens, security interests or assignments created by the Loan Documents; [iii] the factual adequacy of the descriptions of the real or personal property for the purpose of encumbering the actual property intended to be encumbered pursuant to the Loan Documents; and [iv] survey, zoning, or land use (including subdivision) matters relating to the property intended to be encumbered pursuant to the Loan Documents. For such matters relating to real property, we understand that you obtained and are relying upon a mortgagees policy of title insurance insuring the lien of such instruments.
BB. We express no opinion as to the extent (other than expressed in the Prior Opinion), validity, or enforceability of any approvals, permits, licenses, leases or certificates issued or required to be issued by Governmental Authorities to any Loan Party and/or affecting any property nor with respect to the performance of any obligation
or the priority of any security interest or lien with respect to any of such approvals, permits, licenses, leases or certificates.
CC. We have assumed, for purposes of this Opinion, that if any Lender is a financial institution within the meaning of KRS Chapter 136, such Lender has filed any franchise tax return and paid any franchise tax to the extent required in each case by KRS Chapter 136, KRS 136.570 provides, in material part, that any financial institution subject to the annual franchise tax imposed by KRS 136.505 that fails to file an return as required by KRS 136.545 or that fails to pay tax as listed on the return shall not maintain an action, suit or proceeding in any court or before any agency in the State or enforce in any way any obligation of any debts until the return is filed and the tax listed on the return is paid.
DD. This Opinion is furnished for the benefit of the Recipients only (including, without limitation, any person who becomes a Lender under the 2005 Credit Agreement), in connection with the delivery of the 2005 Documents only, and may not be relied upon by any other person or entity, or in any other context, without our prior written consent. We expressly disclaim any responsibility for advising you of any change occurring hereafter circumstances concerning the transaction which is the subject of this Opinion, including any changes in the law or in factual matters occurring after the date of this Opinion.
We are members of the Bar of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and we do not hold ourselves out as being conversant with, and express no opinion as to, the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal laws of the United States of America and Kentucky nor do we express any opinion as to which laws will actually govern the 2005 Documents and the other Loan Documents. Although we are not licensed to practice law in the State of Delaware , we believe we are sufficiently familiar with the Delaware General Corporation Law to render the opinions expressed in this Opinion with respect to AOTBC and RCA. To the extent that our opinions set forth in Paragraphs 9 and 10 of this Opinion are governed by the laws of any state other than Kentucky, such opinions are based solely on our review of the text of the UCC in effect in such state as set forth in the generally available compilation of the UCC published by Commerce Clearing House, Inc. (without reference to matters of judicial interpretation).

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have acted as senior counsel to Churchill Downs Incorporated (Borrower) Arlington Management Services, LLC (AMS), Arlington OTB Corp. (AOTBC), Arlington Park Racecourse, LLC (APR), Calder Race Course, Inc. (Calder), CDIP, LLC (CDIP), CDIP Holdings, LLC (CDIP Holdings), Charlson Industries, Inc.

(VSI); AMS, AOTBC, APR, Calder, CDIP, CDIP Holdings, CII, CDIC, CDLHC, CDLVPC, CDMC, CDSP, Ellis Park, Quad City, RCA, Tropical and VSI individually are referred to herein as a Guarantor and collectively are referred to herein as the Guarantors (collectively, the Loan Parties), in connection with the execution and delivery [i] of that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 23, 2005 (the 2005 Credit Agreement) among Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, and the Agent (as defined in the 2005 Credit Agreement) together with the exhibits thereto, [ii] the Amended and Restated Guaranty, the Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, the General Reaffirmation and Modification Agreement and the Notes (collectively, the Loan Documents). I am rendering this opinion (the Opinion) pursuant to Section 4.1(i)(e) of the 2005 Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Opinion shall have the meanings assigned to those
terms in the 2005 Credit Agreement and the opinion of Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs, LLP to you dated September 23, 2005 (the Wyatt Opinion).
In rendering this Opinion, in addition to the Loan Documents, I have reviewed and examined such documents, instruments and other matters which I considered necessary or appropriate for the purpose of rendering this Opinion. In such review, I have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies. As to any question of fact material to or included in this Opinion, I have assumed the accuracy and validity of and have relied upon the certificates of officers of the Loan Parties, as well as the certificates and oral communications of certain public officials. I have also assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by the Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders (each individually a Recipient and collectively, the Recipients) to the extent they are parties thereto, and that the Loan Documents constitute valid and binding obligations of each of the Recipients.
Whenever the phrase to my knowledge or similar language is used in this Opinion, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Opinion, it means that, in the course of my representation of the Loan Parties, no fact case to my attention indicating the contrary. Except, however, for certificates and representations which I have obtained from the Loan Parties and certain public officials concerning the facts underlying the opinions expressed in this Opinion and except as may be otherwise expressly disclosed in this Opinion, I have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations below, I am of the opinion that:
1. With respect to the following Loan Parties listed on Annex B attached hereto:
a. | APR and AMS are limited liability companies validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Illinois. |
b. | Each of Calder and Tropical is a Florida corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida. |
c. | CII is an Ohio corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio. |
d. | CDLHC and CDLVPC are limited liability companies validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Louisiana. |
e. | VSI is a Louisiana corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Louisiana. |
2. Each of the Loan Parties listed on Annex B attached hereto has the requisite applicable corporate or limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver the Loan Documents, to perform its respective obligations under the Loan Documents and to continue to perform its respective obligations under the Loan Documents, to carry on its respective businesses presently conducted and to own all the properties presently owned by it, of which I have knowledge.
3. Based solely on certificates obtained from applicable governmental authorities, each of the Loan Parties listed in Annex B attached hereto is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or limited liability company to transact business in the jurisdiction (other than the Loan Parties jurisdictions of formation) listed in Annex B.
4. The execution and delivery by each of the Loan Parties of the Loan Documents and the performance by each of the Loan Parties of its respective obligations thereunder and the creation of the Liens created thereby, (a) are within each of the Loan Partys as applicable, corporate or limited liability company powers, (b) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company and, if necessary, stockholder or member action, (c) require no authorization, approval or other action by or in respect of, and no notice, consent of, order of or filing with, any Governmental Authority that has not already been received or except as set forth in Schedule 4.1(i)(q), (d) do not, to the best of my knowledge, contravene, conflict with or constitute a default under any law or regulation of the United States of America (including, without limitation, Regulations U and X of the Board of governors of the Federal Reserve System), the corporate or limited liability company law of the state of its incorporation or organization, any law, rule or regulation of the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Kentucky to which any Loan Party is subject, (e) do not contravene, conflict with or constitute a incorporation or bylaws, or operation agreement of any Loan Party or any Governmental Authority of which I have knowledge binding upon any Loan Party or any of their properties or assets, (f) to my knowledge, do not (other than the liens created by the Loan Documents in favor of the Agent with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or material agreement of any Loan Party. For purposes of this Opinion letter, authority of the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
5. Other than as described by qualification Paragraph E of the Opinion of Wyatt Tarrant & Combs, LLP dated April 3, 2003 and the opinion of Ice Miller to Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs, LLP dated April 3, 2003, the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by the Borrower and each of the other Loan Parties does not and will not, under
existing law or regulation, require any consent, approval, license, authorization or order of, any exemption by, or any registration, recording or filing with any Governmental Authority.
6. There is no court action, or other proceeding pending or to my knowledge threatened which questions the validity of the Loan Documents, or any action taken or to be taken pursuant thereto.
The foregoing opinions are subject to and expressly limited by the following assumptions, qualifications and limitations, in addition to those previously set forth:
A. | No opinion is expressed on [i] the laws, statutes and ordinances, administrative divisions, rules and regulations and other legal requirements of counties, towns, municipalities and political subdivisions of Kentucky, or [ii] any law or regulation concerning securities, taxation, labor, employee benefits, environmental protection, anti-trust or unfair competition. |
B. | I express no opinion as to the extent, validity or enforceability of any approvals, permits, licenses, leases or certificates issued or required to be issued by governmental Authorities to any Loan Party and/or affecting any property nor with respect to the performance of any obligation or the priority of any security interest or lien with respect to any of such approvals, permits, licenses, leases or certificates. My opinion expressed in Paragraph 5 above is not intended to pertain in any way to any consents, approvals, licenses or authorizations which any Loan Party may be required to obtain in order to comply with the covenants required to be performed by such Loan Party in the Loan Documents. |
I am a member of the Bar of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and, except as set forth in the succeeding sentence, I do not hold myself out as being conversant with, and express no opinion as to, the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the United States of America and Kentucky nor do I express any opinion as to which laws will actually govern the Opinion documents. Although I am no licensed to practice law in the States of Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana or Ohio, I believe I am sufficiently familiar with the general corporate laws of those states to render the opinions expressed in this Opinion with respect to the entities not incorporated or organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Failure of the holder of this Note to exercise any of its rights and remedies shall not constitute a waiver of any provision of this Note or of the Agreement, the Collateral Documents or any of the other Loan Documents or of any of such holders and/or the Agents rights and remedies, nor shall it prevent the holder from exercising any rights or remedies with respect to the subsequent happening of the same or similar occurrences. All remedies of the holder hereof shall be cumulative to the greatest extent permitted by law. Time shall be of the essence for payment of all payments of interest and principal on this Note.
If there is any Default, or this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or is collected through any court, including any bankruptcy court, the Borrower promises to pay to the order of the holder hereof such holders reasonable attorneys fees and court costs incurred in collecting or attempting to collect or securing or attempting to secure this Note or enforcing the holders rights with respect to any collateral securing this Note, to the extent allowed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky or any state in which any collateral for this Note is situated.

ARTICLE VI
WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or any Lender to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Collateral Agent. All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations Secured have been paid in full.
ARTICLE VII
PROCEEDS; COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES
7.1. Lockboxes. Upon request of the Collateral Agent after the occurrence of a Default or Unmatured Default, the Obligors shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent irrevocable lockbox agreements in the form provided by or otherwise acceptable to the Collateral Agent, which agreements shall be accompanied by an acknowledgment by the bank where the lockbox is located of the Lien of the Collateral Agent granted hereunder and of irrevocable instructions to wire all amounts collected therein to a special collateral account at the Collateral Agent.
7.2. Collection of Receivables. Upon the occurrence of a Default, the Collateral Agent may at any time in its sole discretion by giving the Obligors or any one of them individually written notice, elect to require that the Receivables be paid directly to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders. In such event, the Obligors or any one of them individually shall, and shall permit the Collateral Agent to, promptly notify the account debtors or obligors under the Receivables of the Collateral Agents interest therein and direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts then or thereafter due under the Receivables directly to the Collateral Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Collateral Agent, the Obligors shall thereafter hold in trust for the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, all amounts and proceeds received by such Obligor with respect to the Receivables and Other Collateral and immediately and at all times thereafter deliver to the Collateral Agent all such amounts and proceeds in the same form as so received, whether by cash, check, draft or otherwise, with any necessary endorsements. The Obligors shall forthwith, upon receipt of all checks, drafts, cash and other remittances in payment or on account of Accounts Receivable or payment intangibles or for the sale of Inventory or Equipment by the Obligors, deposit the same in a special bank account maintained with the Collateral Agent over which the Collateral Agent alone, to the exclusion of the Obligors, has the power of withdrawal. Such proceeds paid on Accounts Receivable and/or payment intangibles, and/or from the sale of Inventory or Equipment shall be deposited in precisely the form received, except for the endorsement of the Obligors where necessary to permit collection of items, which endorsement the Obligors agree to make and which the Collateral Agent is also hereby authorized to make in the Obligors name and on the Obligors behalf as attorney-in-fact. Pending such deposit, the Obligors agree that the Obligors will not commingle any such checks, drafts, cash and other remittances with any other funds or property, but will hold them separate and apart therefrom in express trust for the Collateral Agent until deposited in that special account. The Collateral Agent shall hold and apply funds so received as provided by the terms of Sections 7.3 and 7.4 of this Security Agreement.
7.3. Special Collateral Account. If any Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may require all cash proceeds of the Collateral to be deposited in a special non-interest bearing cash collateral account with the Collateral Agent and held there as security for the Obligations Secured. The Obligors shall have no control whatsoever over said cash collateral account.
7.4. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Collateral shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to payment of the Obligations Secured in the following order unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise direct:
(a) FIRST, to payment of all costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with the collection and enforcement of the Obligations Secured or of the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Security Agreement;
(b) SECOND, to payment of that portion of the Obligations Secured constituting accrued and unpaid interest and fees, pro rata among the Lenders and their Affiliates in accordance with the amount of such accrued and unpaid interest and fees owing to each of them;
(c) THIRD, to payment of the principal of the Obligations Secured and the net early termination payments and any other Rate Management Obligations then due and unpaid from the Borrower to any of the Lenders or their Affiliates, pro rata among the Lenders and their Affiliates in accordance with the amount of such principal and such net early termination payments and other Rate Management Obligations then due and unpaid owing to each of them;
(d) FOURTH, to payment of any Obligations Secured (other than those listed above) pro rata among those parties to whom such Obligations Secured are due in accordance with the amounts owing to each of them; and
(e) FIFTH, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations Secured have been satisfied, shall be deposited by the Collateral Agent into the Borrowers general operating account with the Collateral Agent.
ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
8.1. Notice of Disposition of Collateral; Condition of Collateral. The Obligors hereby waive notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the appropriately affected Obligors, addressed as set forth in Article IX of this Security Agreement, at least ten (10) days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.
8.2. Compromises and Collection of Collateral. The Obligors and the Collateral Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, the Obligors agree that the
Collateral Agent may at any time and from time to time, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Collateral Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Collateral Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.
8.3. Collateral Agent Performance of Obligor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Collateral Agent may perform or pay any obligation which the Obligors have agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and the Obligors shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any amounts paid by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 8.3. The Obligors obligation to reimburse the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be an Obligation Secured payable on demand.
8.4. Authorization for Collateral Agent to Take Certain Action. The Obligors irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent and appoint the Collateral Agent as their attorney in fact (i) to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Collateral Agents sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agents security interest in the Collateral, (ii) to indorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agents security interest in the Collateral, (iv) to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Collateral and which are Securities or with financial intermediaries holding other Investment Property as may be necessary or advisable to give the Collateral Agent Control over such Securities or other Investment Property, (v) to enforce payment of the Receivables in the name of the Collateral Agent or the Obligors, (vi) to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Collateral Agent to the Obligations Secured as provided herein and (vii) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder), and the Obligors agree to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, provided, that this authorization shall not relieve the Obligors of any of their obligations under this Security Agreement or the Credit Agreement.
8.5. Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. The Obligors acknowledge and agree that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 4.1.5, 4.1.6, 4.4, 5.3, or 8.7 or in Article VII will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, that the Collateral Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agree, without limiting the right of the Collateral Agent or the Lenders to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Obligors contained in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Obligors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable against the Obligors.
8.6. Use and Possession of Certain Premises. Upon the occurrence of a Default, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall be entitled to occupy and use any premises owned or leased by the Obligors where any of the Collateral or any records relating to the Collateral are located until the Obligations Secured are paid or the Collateral is removed therefrom, whichever first occurs, without any obligation to pay the Obligors for such use and occupancy.
8.7. Dispositions Not Authorized. The Obligors are not authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral except as set forth in Section 4.1.5 and notwithstanding any course of dealing between the Obligors and the Collateral Agent and/or the Lenders or other conduct of the Collateral Agent and/or the Lenders, no authorization to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral (except as set forth in Section 4.1.5) shall be binding upon the Collateral Agent or the Lenders unless such authorization is in writing signed by the Collateral Agent.
8.8. Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Obligors, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns (including all Persons who become bound as an Obligor to this Security Agreement), except that the Obligors shall
not have the right to assign their rights or delegate their obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Lenders.
8.9. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Obligors contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.
8.10. Taxes and Expenses. Any taxes payable or ruled payable by Federal or State authority in respect of this Security Agreement shall be paid by the Obligors, together with interest and penalties, if any. The Obligors shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any and all out-of-pocket expenses and internal charges (including reasonable attorneys, auditors and accountants fees and reasonable time charges of attorneys, paralegals, auditors and accountants who may be employees of the Collateral Agent) paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Security Agreement and in the audit, analysis, administration, collection, preservation or sale of the Collateral (including the expenses and charges associated with any special audit of the Collateral). Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Obligors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Obligors or any one of them individually.
8.11. Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.
8.12. Termination. This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Obligations Secured outstanding) until (i) the Credit Agreement has terminated pursuant to its express terms and (ii) all of the Obligations Secured have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and no commitments of the Collateral Agent or the Lenders which would give rise to any Obligations Secured are outstanding.
8.13. Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Obligors and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Obligors and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral.
8.14. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.
8.15 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE OBLIGORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT 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 THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THEY 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 COLLATERAL AGENT TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE OBLIGORS IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY THE OBLIGORS AGAINST THE COLLATERAL AGENT INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.
8.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE OBLIGORS AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT 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 THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.

8.18. Distribution of Reports. The Obligors authorize the Collateral Agent to discuss with and furnish to its Affiliates and to the Lenders or to any other Person authorized by the terms of the Credit Agreement all financial statements, audit reports and other information pertaining to the Obligors whether such information was provided by the Obligors or prepared or obtained by the Collateral Agent. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its employees, officers, directors or trustees makes any representation or warranty regarding any audit reports or other analyses of the Obligors condition which the Collateral Agent may in its sole discretion prepare and elect to distribute, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any of its employees, officers, directors or trustees be liable to any person or entity receiving a copy of such reports or analyses for any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating thereto.

THIS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT FOR STANDBY LETTER(S) OF CREDIT (this Agreement) is made as of this 28th day of February, 2000, by Churchill Downs Incorporated (the Applicant), with an address at 700 Central Avenue, Louisville, KY 40208 in favor of PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the (Bank), with an address at 237 Fifth Avenue, Third Floor Annex, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. From time to time by submitting an application on a form approved by the Bank (an Application), the Applicant may request the Bank to issue one or more letters of credit (each, a Credit). The Bank may issue any such Credit, but the Bank shall have no obligation to do so unless otherwise agreed in writing. The Applicant agrees that the following terms and conditions shall apply in the event the Bank issues any Credit:
1. Definitions and Interpretation. (a) In addition to terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement: Base Rate means a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the interest rate per annum announced from time to time by the Bank as its then prime rate, which rate may not be the lowest rate then being charged commercial borrowers by the Bank; or (ii) the rate applicable to overnight federal funds transactions, as reasonably determined by the Bank, plus .50%; Business Day means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banks in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, or any other city of which the Bank may give the Applicant notice from time to time, are authorized or required by law to close; Dollar Equivalent means, with respect to an amount in any currency other than U.S. dollars, as of any date, the amount of U.S. dollars into which such amount in such amount in such currency may be converted at the spot rate at which U.S. dollars are offered by the Bank in Pittsburgh for such currency at approximately 11:00 a.m., Prevailing Time, on such date, plus all actual costs of settlement, including amounts incurred by the Bank to comply with currency exchange requirements of any Governmental Authority; Governmental Authority means any de facto or de jure domestic or foreign government court, tribunal, agency, or other purported authority; Prevailing Time means the prevailing time in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (or any other city of which the Bank may have given the Applicant notice) on the date in question; Taxes means all taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings of any kind (other than taxes on the Banks net income); and UCP means the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), Incorporational Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, and any subsequent official revision thereof.
(b) If this Agreement is signed by two or more persons, each shall be deemed to make to the Bank all the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and each shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder. Any reference herein to this Agreement, an Application, a Credit, or any other Instrument, agreement or document related hereto or thereto shall be deemed to refer to all amendments, modifications, extensions and renewals hereof and thereof. Except to the extent the context clearly otherwise requires, terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them by the UCP or, if not defined herein, then by relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (the UCC) of Pennsylvania or such other jurisdiction of which the Bank may give the Applicant notice, with the definitions of Article 5 of
the UCC controlling over any conflicting definitions in other UCC Articles. Determinations made by the Bank pursuant to the terms hereof shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2. Payments. (a) The Applicant will pay to the Bank the amount to be paid by the Bank with respect to each draft or other payment demand made under a Credit no later than 10 a.m., Prevailing Time, on the date such payment is to be made by the Bank, or such earlier time as the Bank may reasonably require. If a Credit calls for the delivery by the Bank of an Item other than money, the Applicant shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Item to the Bank, at such time, in advance of the time the Bank is to deliver such Item, as the Bank may reasonably require.
(b) The Applicant will pay to the Bank upon receipt of the Banks Invoice therefor (i) interest on all amounts payable to the Bank hereunder from the date due to the date of payment, at the Base Rate plus % (or, if the preceding blank is not completed, the Base Rate plus 4%; or, if this Agreement is delivered in connection with a separate credit agreement, loan agreement, promissory note or other agreement governing the payment of interest by the Applicant to the Bank, then at the rate of interest applicable following the occurrence of an event of default thereunder); provided that in the event shall the Applicant pay hereunder Interest in excess of the minimum rate permitted by applicable law; (ii) the Banks fees, as separately agreed to by the Applicant and the Bank, as well as the customary commissions and other charges regularly charged by the Bank for letters of credit; and (iii) all charges and expenses paid or incurred by the Bank or any of its correspondents in connection with this Agreement or any Credit, including all reasonable legal fees and expenses. All periodic interest, fees and commissions shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a 360 day year, and Interest shall continue to accrue at the applicable rate set forth herein notwithstanding one or more defaults or the entry of any judgment.
(c) All amounts payable hereunder by the Applicant shall be paid to the Bank at its address set forth above or at such other place as the Bank may give notice from time to time, in immediately available funds in the currency specified by the Bank, without set off, defense, recoupment, deduction, cross-claim or counterclaim of any kind; and the free and clear of, and without deduction for, any present or future Taxes. If the Bank or the Applicant pays any Taxes, whether or not correctly or legally assessed, the amounts payable hereunder shall be increased so that, after the payment of such Taxes, the Bank shall have received an amount equal to the sum the Bank would have received had no such Taxes been paid. If any amount payable hereunder is determined in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Applicant shall make payment in such currency or, at the Banks option, shall pay the Dollar Equivalent thereof. To effect any payment due hereunder, the Bank may debit any amount that the Applicant may have with the Bank or any of its affiliates.

obligation underlying any Credit, in each case, even if the Bank or any of its correspondents have been notified thereof (ii) any claim or breach of warranty that might be made by the Applicant or the Bank against any beneficiary of a Credit, or the existence of any claims, set off, recoupment, counterclaim, cross-claim, defense, or other right that the Applicant may at any time have against any beneficiary, any successor beneficiary, any transferee or assignee of the proceeds of a Credit, the Bank or any correspondence or agent of the Bank, or any other person, however arising; (iii) any acts or omissions by, or the solvency of, any beneficiary of any Credit, or any other person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Credit; (iv) any failure by the Bank to issue any Credit in the form requested by the Applicant, unless the Bank receives written notice from the Applicant of such failure within one Business Day after the Applicant shall have received (by facsimile transmission or otherwise) a copy of such Credit and such error is material; and (v) any action or omission (including failure or compulsion to honor a presentation under any Credit) by the Bank or any of its correspondence in connection with a Credit, draft or other demand for payment, document, or any property relating to a Credit, and resulting from any censorship, law, regulation, order, control, restriction, or the like, rightfully or wrongly exercised by any Governmental Authority, or from any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the Bank or any of its correspondents, or for any loss or damage to the Applicant or to anyone else, or to any property of the Applicant or anyone else, resulting from any such action or omission.
(b) The Bank is authorized to honor any presentation under a Credit without regard to, and without any duty on the Banks part to inquire into, any transaction or obligation underlying such credit, or any disputes or controversies between the Applicant and any beneficiary of a Credit, or any other person, notwithstanding that the Bank may have assisted the Applicant in the preparation of the wording of any Credit or documents required to be presented thereunder or that the Bank may be aware of any underlying transactions or obligation or be familiar with any of the parties thereto.
(c) The Applicant agrees that any action or omission by the Bank or any of its correspondents in connection with any Credit or presentation thereunder shall be binding on the Applicant and shall not result in any liability to the Bank or any of its correspondents in the absence of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank.

any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located.
(d) If the Applicant or any other person seeks to delay or enjoin the honorer by the Bank of a presentation under a Credit, the Bank shall have no obligation to delay or refuse to honor the presentation until validly so ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

The Banks right of set off may be exercised without demand on or notice to the Applicant. The Bank shall be deemed to have exercised its right of set off immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, although the Bank may enter such set off on the books and records at a later date.

The Applicant agrees from time to time to deliver to the Bank, on demand, such security or additional security as the Bank may require to further secure the Applicants obligations hereunder.

9. Indemnification. The Applicant shall indemnify and hold the Bank and its affiliates and agents, and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders and employees (each, an Indemnified Party) harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, Taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and costs, whether of Internal or external counsel to the Bank), which may be incurred by or awarded against any Indemnified Party, and which arise out of or in connection with (a) any Credit, this Agreement, or the preparation for a defense of any investigation, litigation, or proceeding arising out of or in connection herewith or therewith (and irrespective of who may be the prevailing party); (b) any payment or action taken in connection with any Credit, including, without limitation, any action or proceeding seeking to restrain any drawing under a Credit or to compel or restrain any payment or any other action under a Credit or this Agreement (and irrespective of who may be the prevailing party); (c) the enforcement of this Agreement or the collection or sale of any property or collateral; and (d) any act or omission of any Governmental Authority or other cause beyond the Banks reasonable control; except, in each case, to the extent such claim, liability, loss, damage, Tax, penalty, interest, judgment, cost or expense is found by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Banks gross negligence or willful misconduct.
10. Miscellaneous. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, will be effective upon receipt, and shall be delivered by registered mail, return receipt requested, by facsimile transmission with confirmation of delivery, or by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, to the intended recipient at this address set forth in this Agreement, or at such other address of which such party shall have given notice to the other in accordance herewith.

If this Agreement is executed by more than on applicant, each Applicant waives any and all defenses to payment and performance hereunder based upon principles of ownership, impairment of collateral, or otherwise and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Applicant consents to: any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of or in any other term of all or any of the obligations of any other applicant hereunder or otherwise, and any exchange or release of any property or collateral, or the release of other amendment, extensions, renewal, waiver of, or consent to departure from, the terms hereof or of any guaranty or security agreement or any other agreement related hereto. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the applicant and the Bank and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns: provided, however, that the Applicant may not assign this Agreement in whole or in part without the Banks prior written consent and the Bank may at any time assign this Agreement in whole or in part. The Applicant hereby authorizes the Bank, from time to time without notice to
