for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
(Unaudited)
1. Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's business,
revenues and operating results for any interim quarter are not indicative of the
revenues and operating results for the year and are not necessarily comparable
with results for the corresponding period of the previous year. The Company
normally earns a substantial portion of its net income in the second quarter of
each year during which the Kentucky Derby is run. The Kentucky Derby is run on
the first Saturday in May.
During the six months ended June 30, 1996 the Company conducted
simulcast receiving wagering for 661 location days. The Company operated
simulcast wagering at its Sports Spectrum site in Louisville, Kentucky for 84
days during the six month period, compared to 88 days in 1995. Through its
subsidiary, Hoosier Park L.P., the Company conducted simulcast wagering at its
racetrack in Anderson, Indiana and at three simulcast wagering facilities
located in Merrillville, Ft. Wayne and Indianapolis, Indiana for a total of 577
days compared to 332 days in 1995 when only three facilities were operating.
2. The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance
with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the
disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles or
those normally made in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K. The year end
condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but
does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. Accordingly, the reader of this Form 10-Q may wish to refer to the
Company's Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 1995 for further
information. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the registrant's customary accounting practices and have not
been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of this information have been made and all such adjustments are of
a normal recurring nature.
3. On January 26, 1994 the Company through its wholly owned
subsidiary Churchill Downs Management Company ("CDMC") purchased Anderson Park,
Inc. ("API") for approximately $1,950,000. API owned an Indiana Standardbred
racing license and was in the process of constructing a racing facility in
Anderson, Indiana. Subsequently, the facility was completed and,
contemporaneously with the commencement of operations on September 1, 1994 the
net assets of API were contributed to a newly formed partnership, Hoosier Park,
L.P. ("HPLP") in return for an 87% general partnership interest.

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 (continued)
(Unaudited)
In December 1995, the Company entered into a Partnership Interest
Purchase Agreement with Conseco HPLP, L.L.C. ("Conseco") for the sale of 10% of
the Company's partnership interest in HPLP to Conseco. This sale was closed on
May 31, 1996. The purchase price for the 10% partnership interest was $218,390
and the transaction also included a payment of $2,603,514 for the acquisition of
a 10% interest in the debt owed by HPLP to CDMC at face value of debt at the
date of the closing. Conseco and Pegasus Group, Inc. ("Pegasus") are limited
partners of HPLP and Anderson continues to be the sole general partner of HPLP.
This sale is not anticipated to have any material effect on operations in 1996.
From May 31, 1996 through December 31, 1998, Conseco has an option
to purchase from API an additional 47% partnership interest in HPLP. The
purchase price of the additional partnership interest will be $22,156,000 of
which approximately $6,222,000 will be allocated to the purchase of the
partnership interest and approximately $15,934,000 will be allocated to the
acquisition of debt owed by HPLP to CDMC. This purchase is subject to the
approval of the Indiana Horse Racing Commission. Following this purchase,
Conseco will be the sole general partner of HPLP, and API and Pegasus, will be
limited partners of HPLP with partnership interest of 30% and 13% respectively.
CDMC will continue to have a long-term management agreement with HPLP pursuant
to which CDMC has operational control of the day-to-day affairs of Hoosier Park
and its related simulcast operations.
4. During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company acquired
58,650 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $2,346,001. Quarterly
earnings per share amounts do not add to year-to-date earnings per share for
1996 because of this change in the number of outstanding shares.
5. The Company has an unsecured $20,000,000 bank line of credit with
various options for the interest rate, none of which are greater than the bank's
prime rate. Borrowings are payable on January 31, 1997. There were no borrowings
outstanding at June 30, 1996 and $3.0 million in borrowings were outstanding at
June 30, 1995.
6. On January 22, 1992, the Company acquired certain assets of
Louisville Downs, Incorporated for $5,000,000. In conjunction with this
purchase, the Company withheld $1,000,000 from the amount due to the sellers to
offset certain costs related to the remediation of environmental contamination
associated with underground storage tanks at the site. All of the $1,000,000
hold back has been utilized as of December 31, 1995.
It is not anticipated that the Company will have any liability as a
result of compliance with environmental laws with respect to the property.
Compliance with environmental laws has not otherwise affected development and
operation of the property and the Company is not otherwise subject to any
material compliance costs in connection with federal or state environmental
laws.
7. Certain balance sheet and statement of operations items have been
reclassified in the prior year to conform to current period presentation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This discussion and analysis contains both historical and forward
looking information. The forward looking statements are made pursuant to the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward looking statements may be significantly impacted by certain risks and
uncertainties described herein, and in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1995.
For many years, the Company has conducted live Spring and Fall race
meetings for Thoroughbred horses in Kentucky. In 1988, the Company began to
participate in intertrack simulcasting as a host track for all of its live races
except those run on Kentucky Derby Day. In 1989, the Company commenced
operations as a receiving track for intertrack simulcasting. During November
1991, the Company began interstate simulcasting for all of the live races with
the receiving locations participating in the Company's mutuel pool. The Kentucky
Derby and Kentucky Oaks, which are run on the first weekend in May of each year,
continue to be the Company's outstanding attractions. In 1995, for the first
time, Churchill Downs offered the simulcast of its races on Kentucky Derby Day
to racetracks within Kentucky. In 1996, Derby weekend accounted for
approximately 30% of total on-track pari-mutuel wagering and 35% of total
on-track attendance, for the 1996 Spring Meet. In July 1994, the Company began
to participate in whole card simulcasting, whereby the Company began importing
whole race cards or programs from host tracks located outside the state for
pari-mutuel wagering purposes. Whole card simulcasting has created a major new
wagering opportunity for patrons of the Company in both Kentucky and Indiana.
Churchill Downs, through its subsidiary, Hoosier Park, L.P., is
majority owner and operator of Indiana's only pari-mutuel racetrack, Hoosier
Park at Anderson. Start-up costs incurred in Indiana during 1995 included
improvements to Hoosier Park in anticipation of the track's inaugural
Thoroughbred meet. In addition, Hoosier Park conducted two Harness race meets,
as well as simulcast wagering, during its first 16 months of operation. In 1995,
the Company opened off-track wagering facilities in Merrillville, Fort Wayne and
downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. The license for the Jeffersonville, Indiana
facility was surrendered in July 1995 because ownership of the tentative site
was in question and resolution was not expected in the near future. The Company
is continuing to evaluate sites for the location of a fourth satellite wagering
facility.
Page 10 of 34
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
The Company's principal sources of income are commissions from
on-track pari-mutuel wagers, commissions from intertrack and fees from
interstate simulcast wagers, admissions and seating, concession commissions
(primarily for the sale of food and beverages), and license, rights, broadcast
and sponsorship fees. The Company's primary source of income is pari-mutuel
wagering. The Company retains the following amounts on specific revenue streams
as a percentage of handle:
KENTUCKY INDIANA
On-track pari-mutuel wagers 14% 18%
Intertrack host 8% --
Interstate/simulcast host 3% 3%
Intertrack/simulcast receiving 7% 18%
In Kentucky, licenses to conduct Thoroughbred race meetings and to
participate in simulcasting are approved annually by the Kentucky Racing
Commission based upon applications submitted by the racetracks in Kentucky,
including the Company. Based on gross figures for on-track pari-mutuel wagering
and attendance, the Company is the leading Thoroughbred racetrack in Kentucky.
In Kentucky, the Company has been granted a license to conduct live racing
during the period from April 27, 1996, through June 30, 1996, and from October
27, 1996, through November 30, 1996, for a total of 78 racing days.
In Indiana, licenses to conduct live Standardbred and Thoroughbred
race meetings and to participate in simulcasting are approved annually by the
Indiana Horse Racing Commission based upon applications submitted by the
Company. Currently, the Company is the only facility in Indiana licensed to
conduct live Standardbred or Thoroughbred race meetings and to participate in
simulcasting. In Indiana, the Company has received a license to conduct live
racing for a total of 133 racing days, including 80 days of Standardbred racing
from April 25, 1996 through September 2, 1996, and 53 days of Thoroughbred
racing from September 20, 1996 through November 30, 1996.
The Company operated two live racing facilities and conducted
simulcast wagering at four locations during the six month period ended June 30,
1996. The chart below summarizes the results of these operations.

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
With the advent of whole card simulcasting, the Company conducts
interstate simulcasting virtually year-round on multiple racing programs each
day from around the nation. The number of receiving days is increasing because
of additional off-track wagering facilities being opened in Indiana. During
1995, simulcast wagering was being conducted at Hoosier Park in Anderson,
Indiana and beginning January 25, 1995 at Merrillville, Indiana. Two additional
simulcast facilities were opened during 1995, one in Ft. Wayne, Indiana on April
25, 1995, and the other in Indianapolis, Indiana in October 25, 1995. Simulcast
wagering was conducted at all four facilities throughout the first half of 1996.
For 1996, the Company has been granted a license to operate simulcast receiving
locations in Kentucky and Indiana for any and all possible dates from January 1
through December 31 and intends to receive simulcasting on all possible days. An
increase in the number of days is expected to enhance operating results. Hoosier
Park may ultimately be supported by a fourth whole card simulcasting facility.
Because the business of the Company is seasonal, the number of
persons employed will vary throughout the year. Approximately 600 individuals
are employed on a permanent year-round basis. During the live race meetings, as
many as 2,600 persons are employed.
By the end of the second quarter of 1997, as many as five Indiana
riverboats may be operating along the Ohio River, with one of the nation's
largest complexes to be located 10 miles from Louisville in Harrison County,
Indiana. Studies project that direct competition with these boats could result
in as much as a 30% decline in on-track wagering at Churchill Downs and a 20%
decline in Sports Spectrum business. In response, the Company's Board of
Directors passed a resolution at its June 13 meeting instructing the Company's
management to aggressively pursue alternative forms of gaming at its racetrack
facilities in Louisville. The integration of alternative gaming products at the
racetrack is one of four core business strategies developed by the Company to
grow its live racing program. Management has been positioning the Company to
compete in this changing environment for the past several years by strengthening
its flagship operations, increasing its share of the interstate simulcast
market, and geographically expanding its racing operations into Indiana. The
Company currently is working to build a consensus within Kentucky's horse
industry for a plan to offer alternative gaming products exclusively at state
racetracks.
On May 7, 1996 the Company purchased 58,650 shares of common stock
at a total cost of $2,346,001. The purchase had a positive effect on earnings
per share, adding $.02 to earnings per share for the six month period ended June
30, 1996. The Company expects 1996 total earnings per share to benefit by
approximately $.03 as a result of the purchase.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 TO 1995
Net revenue during the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased
$8,542,259. Kentucky operations contributed 52%, or $4,461,692 to the total
increase, with Simulcast-Host showing the largest increase at $2,389,289.
Simulcast-Host represents revenues generated by transmitting the Company's live
races at Churchill Downs outside the state of Kentucky to outlets across the
nation. The number of outlets increased from 226 in 1995 to 401 in 1996.
On-track wagering on the Company's live races at Churchill Downs was 3.19% below
1995. This decrease was offset by an increase in wagering on whole card
simulcast races during 41 days of the live meet.
During the first half of 1996, Indiana operations contributed
$4,080,567 or 48% to the revenue increase. In addition to an increase in
Simulcast-Host of $2,262,521, Simulcast-Receiving increased $1,865,149 primarily
as a result of the increase in the number of simulcast outlets in 1996. On-track
revenue decreased at Hoosier Park by $703,994 when compared to 1995 primarily
due to the live racing meet starting three weeks later and having one less race
day per week this year, resulting in 23 fewer race days in 1996.
Concession commission and program revenue both increased due largely
to the Indiana operations. Indiana had four facilities operating in 1996
compared to only three in 1995. The increase in other revenue is due to $527,679
of Indiana riverboat admissions tax that is payable to licensed racetracks
facilities in Indiana per Indiana state law.

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Operating expenses increased $6,896,173 during the six month period.
Gross margin decreased from 31.8% to 30.2% through June 30, 1996. This decrease
in gross margin results primarily from a higher percentage of revenue in 1996
coming from lower margin simulcast products. Specifically, due to simulcasting
at three satellite wagering facilities and at Hoosier Park in Indiana in 1996,
coupled with the increase in whole card simulcasts at the Sports Spectrum in
Louisville and during the Churchill Downs live meet. Changes in specific expense
categories follow.
Purse expense increased $2,933,941 due largely to the increase in
Simulcast-Host handle in both Kentucky and Indiana. In addition, Indiana
Simulcast-Receiving purse expense increased $611,789. In Kentucky and Indiana
purse expense varies directly with pari-mutuel revenues and is calculated as a
percentage of the related revenue and may change from year to year pursuant to
contract or statute.
The increase in Wages and Contract Labor of $480,482 can be
attributed to an increase in number of mutuel clerks on Oaks and Derby days in
Kentucky along with the opening of the third Indiana satellite wagering
facility. The $708,381 increase in Advertising, Marketing and Publicity is due
largely to the marketing of the wagering facilities in Indiana. Approximately
$300,000 was spent as part of an intensive marketing campaign in Indiana with
approximately $150,000 being spent in each of the Fort Wayne and Hoosier Park
(Anderson, Indiana) areas. Response to the marketing efforts was positive and
the goal is to maintain increased handle as marketing support is reduced.
Additionally, new marketing programs such as the Twin Spires Club and Winners
Circle Sponsorship, along with expenses incurred in conjunction with ESPN's
Derby Week coverage, also caused increases during the six month period.
Racing Relations and Services increased $195,670 due largely to the
end-of-meet state license tax accrual that, for the past three years, has been
accrued in the third quarter at the end of the spring race meet. In 1996, the
spring race meet ended in the second quarter on June 30,1996.
Audio, Video and Signal Distribution expense increased $88,988 due
primarily to the additional facility in Indiana. Totalisator and Simulcast Host
Fee expenses increased for the six month period $162,962 and $1,109,396,
respectively. These expenses are related to the operation of the off-track
wagering facilities in both Kentucky and Indiana. Totalisator expense is
generated based on total wagers taken at the facilities. Simulcast host fees are
paid to the track whose live races are being simulcast at the facilities. As
total wagers increase, these expenses, along with purses, increase accordingly.
In Kentucky simulcast host fees increased relative to combined handle as a
result of a shift in wagering from in-state to out-of-state racing cards. This
was primarily the result of winter weather conditions in Kentucky which required
racing in the state to be canceled several times throughout the first quarter.
This shift translates to slimmer margins because no simulcast fees are paid on
in-state racing, and in-state purses are calculated at a slightly lower rate.
Page 16 of 34
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Program expenses increased $408,222 for the quarter. This is
primarily attributed to higher paper cost in Kentucky, which resulted in an
increase of $205,090. The increases in Indiana are attributable to the addition
of the third Indiana satellite wagering facility and a higher than expected
scrap rate in Indiana.
Maintenance and Utilities increased $113,239 and $306,566
respectively. General repairs at the four Indiana facilities account for the
increase in maintenance, which includes expenses for winter storm damage and
supplies. Utilities increased overall due to the unseasonably cold winter
temperatures and the additional facility in Indiana.
Increases of $110,474 in Insurance, Taxes and License Fees are
derived from a $19,357 decrease in Kentucky operations attributed to savings
generated by a change in insurance carriers and a $129,831 increase in Indiana
due to the insurance requirements for the additional OTB facility. Facility rent
in 1996 is attributable to the Indianapolis simulcast facility.

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $234,551
during the six month period. This is primarily due to an increase in Salaries
and Wages in Indiana relating to the additional simulcast wagering facility.
Interest expense was down $209,697 as positive cash flow from
operations has allowed the Company to continue paying down its line of credit.
As of May 7, 1996 the outstanding balance on the line of credit has been
completely retired.
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1995
Net revenue increased $5.6 million due primarily to an increase in
Simulcast-Host, with the Company's live races being transmitted to a record
number of outlets across the nation. Additionally, Simulcast-Receiving increased
due to an extra simulcasting outlet being open in Indiana during 1996.
Operating expenses increased by $3.6 million primarily due to the
increase in Purse Expense which accompanies an increase in pari-mutuel revenue.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses remained relatively flat,
decreasing $30,497 during the quarter.
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1996
Net revenues increased $43.4 million primarily due to $49.2 million
in live racing revenue at Churchill Downs during the second quarter. Churchill
Downs' second quarter included 48 live racing days versus no live racing during
the three months ended March 31, 1996. Operating expenses increased $20.0
million also due to the live racing days. These increases were offset somewhat
by 50 fewer intertrack receiving days at the Sports Spectrum during the quarter.
Selling, general and administrative costs for the second quarter of
1996 were $2.1 million, up from $1.8 million in the quarter ended March 31,
1996. This increase is primarily due to costs related to the live race meets at
Churchill Downs and Hoosier Park in the second quarter.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE BALANCE SHEET DECEMBER 31, 1995 TO JUNE 30, 1996
The cash balances at June 30, 1996 were $8.2 million higher than
December 31, 1995 due to the cash generated during 48 live race days at
Churchill Downs, principally Kentucky Derby and Oaks weekend, and 43 live race
days at Hoosier Park. Cash balances during May and June are historically at the
highest levels of the year.
Accounts receivable at June 30, 1996 were $3.5 million higher than
December 31, 1995 due primarily to interstate and intrastate simulcasting
settlements which were received in July and August, 1996.
Racing plant & equipment increased by $1.4 million as a result of
routine capital spending throughout the Company. There were no major capital
projects during the six month period.
Accounts payable at June 30, 1996 were $5.6 million higher than at
December 31, 1995 mainly due to horsemen's balances for the live race meeting at
Churchill Downs. Such balances for the Fall 1995 race meeting had been paid by
December 31, 1995.
Deferred revenue was lower at June 30, due to the significant amount
of admission and seat revenue that was received in advance at December 31 and
recognized as income in May 1996 for the Kentucky Derby and Oaks.
Notes payable were $3.4 million lower at June 30, 1996 as positive
cash flow has allowed the Company to eliminate its outstanding amount of bank
debt. However, Hoosier Park recognized $2.9 million in debt due to the Conseco
purchase of 10% of the partnership.
Dividends payable decreased by $1.9 million due to the payment of
the dividend in January 1996.
Income taxes payable at June 30, 1996 relate to the estimated
expense due for the six month period. Due to the seasonality of the business
related to the Spring race meeting, the second quarter of the year is the
highest in earnings and related taxes.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE BALANCE SHEET JUNE 30, 1995 TO JUNE 30, 1996
Cash balances at June 30, 1996 are $3.7 million above June 30, 1995
principally due to payments in 1995 for construction of the wagering facilities
in northern and central Indiana.
Accounts receivable at June 30, 1996 were up due to interstate
simulcasting and the increased number of outlets for the Churchill Downs spring
race meeting.
Page 20 of 34
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Property, plant & equipment increased during the year by $3.4
million due to the addition of the third simulcasting facility in Indiana and
improvements which allowed Thoroughbred racing at Hoosier Park in September and
October 1995, as well as routine capital spending throughout the Company.
Accounts payable decreased by $1.4 million primarily due to the
amount payable related to the Hoosier Park construction in 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30,
1995 is as follows:
June 30
----------------------------------
1996 1995
Working capital deficiency $( 3,771,311) $(7,153,344)
Working capital ratio .84 to 1 .68 to 1
The working capital deficiency is primarily a result of the nature
and seasonality of the Company's business. Cash flows provided by operations
were $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996; $16.5 million for the
twelve months ended December 31, 1995; and $19.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1995. Management believes cash flows from operations during 1996
and funds available under the Company's unsecured line of credit will be
sufficient to fund dividend payments (historically about $1.9 million) and
additions and improvements to the racing plant and equipment which are expected
to be approximately $3.0 million. Included in this figure is the expansion of
the general office at Churchill Downs.
The Company has a $20,000,000 unsecured line-of-credit available
with $20 million available at June 30, 1996 to meet working capital and other
short-term requirements. Management believes that the Company has the ability to
obtain additional long-term financing should the need arise.

SECOND AMENDED SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
$28,700,000 Louisville, Kentucky
November 1, 1994
WHEREAS, HOOSIER PARK, L.P. ("Borrower") is indebted to CHURCHILL
DOWNS MANAGEMENT COMPANY ("Lender") under the following promissory notes: (I)
Amended Secured Promissory Note dated January 31, 1994 in the original principal
amount of $15,000,000, assumed by Borrower as of August 30, 1994 (the "Amended
Note"), (ii) Promissory Note dated October 7, 1994 in the original principal
amount of $416,278 (the "October 7 Note"), and (iii) Promissory Note dated
October 27, 1994 in the original principal amount of $1,401,500 (the "October 27
Note"), (the Amended Note, the October 7 Note and the October 27 Note are
collectively sometimes referred to as the "Notes").
WHEREAS Borrower and Lender desire to issue this Note (I) in
substitution and replacement of the Notes, and (ii) to provide for additional
extensions of credit by Lender to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions
of this Note.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Borrower, with an address of
700 Central Avenue, Louisville, Kentucky 40208, hereby promises and agrees to
pay to the order of Lender, a Kentucky corporation having an address of 700
Central Avenue, Louisville, Kentucky 40208, the aggregate principal sum of
Twenty Eight Million Seven Hundred Thousand ($28,700,000), or so much thereof as
may be advanced to or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Note,
together with interest thereon as hereinafter provided, in lawful money of the
United States of America, in the manner set forth herein and with a final
maturity date of November 1, 2004, or such later date as may be extended in
accordance with this Note (the "Loan Maturity Date").
The principal of this Note shall bear interest on the unpaid balance
thereof at a rate per annum which shall be equal to Two Percent (2%) above the
prime rate of interest announced from time to time by PNC Bank, Kentucky, Inc.
("PNC Bank") as its prime rate (the "Prime Rate"). The Prime Rate of PNC Bank,
as used in this Note, shall mean that rate of interest announced from time to
time by PNC Bank at its principal office in Louisville, Kentucky to be the Prime
Rate of PNC Bank. Any change in the Prime Rate of PNC Bank shall be effective as
of the beginning of the day on which such change becomes effective. All interest
on this Note shall be computed daily on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed over a year assumed to consist of three hundred sixty (360) days.
Principal and interest on this Note shall be payable in the manner
as set forth herein. Commencing on December 1, 1994, and continuing on the first
day of each month thereafter through and including the Loan Maturity Date,
Borrower shall promptly pay monthly installments of interest. As to any
installment of interest, if Borrower does not pay such installment when due,
such installment shall be deemed and constitute an additional advance of
principal under this Note; provided, however, in no event will any such
installment constitute an additional advance of principal under this Note if,
when taking such installment into account, the outstanding principal balance
under this Note equals or exceeds $28,700,000. If any such installment
constitutes an additional advance of principal under this Note pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence, such installment shall not be considered overdue
under
Page 25 of 34
this Note nor will the failure to pay such installment when due be a default
under this Note. The principal of this Note, and all accrued but unpaid interest
thereon, shall be paid in full on or before November 1, 2004.
All additional advances of principal under this Note shall be made
at such times, and upon such terms and conditions, as agreed to by Borrower and
Lender.
Principal of this Note may be repaid in whole or in part without
penalty or premium at any time.
All payments of principal and interest and any other sums due under
this Note shall be made in immediately available funds to Lender at 700 Central
Avenue, Louisville, Kentucky 40208, or to such other person or at such other
address as may be designated in writing by the holder of this Note. All payments
on this Note shall be applied first to the payment of any expenses or charges
payable hereunder, and next to accrued interest, and then to the principal
balance hereof, or in such other order as Lender may elect in its sole
discretion.
Any payment on this Note that is overdue for more than fifteen (15)
days from its due date shall, if requested by the holder of this Note, be
increased by an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue payment, or
such lesser maximum amount as legally may be allowed. The charging or collection
of a late charge shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the holder's rights
hereunder, including the right to declare a default.
This Note is issued in part in replacement and substitution of the
Notes, but does not constitute a forgiveness or novation of the indebtedness
evidenced by such Notes, which is now evidenced by this Note. This Note shall be
deemed to be the "Note" issued pursuant to, and subject to all the terms and
conditions of the Mortgage, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture
Filing and Collateral Assignment of Contracts dated September 30, 1993, as
amended on January 31, 1994, and as further amended on today's date between
Borrower and the Lender and all other loan documents (the "Loan Documents"). The
occurrence of any "Event of Default" under the Loan Documents or under any note,
security document or other loan document between the Borrower, the Lender and
any guarantor shall be an Event of Default hereunder, and Lender may, at its
option, and without notice, declare the entire unpaid principal balance of, and
all accrued interest on, this Note to be immediately due and payable and proceed
to enforce and realize upon any or all security for this Note provided under the
Loan Documents.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding paragraph, if
default occurs in the payment of any installment of interest and/or principal
hereunder when due or in the payment of any other sum herein specified when due,
and such default shall have continued for a period of five (5) business days
after written notice of such default is given by Lender to Borrower, the Lender
may, without further notice, declare the entire unpaid principal balance of, and
all accrued interest on, this Note to be immediately due and payable and proceed
to enforce all remedies available to it and realize upon any or all security for
this Note.
Page 26 of 34
Whenever there is an Event of Default under this Note, the entire
principal balance of, and all accrued interest on, this Note, and all other
existing or hereafter created or arising liabilities, indebtedness and
obligations of Borrower to the holder (however acquired or evidenced) shall, at
the option of the holder, become forthwith due and payable, without presentment,
notice, protest or demand of any kind (all of which are expressly waived by
Borrower). Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, in addition to the
other remedies afforded to the holder hereunder, the rate of interest then
applicable to the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note shall, at the
option of the holder, be increased by an increment of an additional four percent
(4%) per annum, or such lesser increment as may be the maximum permitted by law.
This Note, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements between the
Borrower and the holder of this Note, whether now existing or whether hereafter
arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no
contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of the
maturity hereof, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the
holder of this Note for the use, forbearance or retention of money loaned
hereunder, or advanced for the performance or payment of any covenant or
obligation contained herein, in any other Loan Document, or in any other
document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced
hereby, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any
circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Note, the Loan
Documents, or of any such other document, at the time performance of such
provisions shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity
prescribed by law, then IPSO FACTO the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from such circumstance the holder
of this Note shall ever receive anything of value deemed by applicable law to be
interest in any amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate payable
hereunder, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the
reduction of the principal amount owing hereunder and not to the payment of
interest, and if the amount that would be excessive interest exceeds the
principal balance then owing, such excess shall be refunded to the party paying
the same.
Failure of the holder of this Note to exercise any of its rights and
remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same at that
or any other time. All rights and remedies of the holder for default under this
Note shall be cumulative to the greatest extent permitted by law. Time shall be
of the essence in the payment of all installments of interest and principal on
this Note and the performance of Borrower's other obligations under this Note.
If there is any Event of Default under this Note, and this Note is
placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any
court, including any bankruptcy court, Borrower promises to pay to the holder
hereof its reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs incurred in collecting or
attempting to collect or securing or attempting to secure this Note or enforcing
the holder's rights in any collateral securing this Note, provided the same is
legally allowed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky or any state where
the collateral or part thereof is situated.
Without restricting any of the rights or remedies available to
Lender, Lender shall have the right to set off, at any time after an Event of
Default by Borrower under this Note, without notice to Borrower, any and all
deposits or other sums at any time or times credited by or due from Lender to
Borrower whether or not held by Lender in a special account or other account or
represented by a certificate of deposit (whether or not matured), which deposits
and other sums shall at all times constitute
Page 27 of 34
additional security for the obligations of Borrower arising under this Note and
under any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a lien
on and a continuing security interest in all instruments, documents, securities,
cash, chattel paper, general intangibles, deposits, certificates of deposit,
other property, and the cash and noncash proceeds of any of the foregoing, owned
by Borrower, or in which Borrower has an interest, which now or hereafter are at
any time in possession or control of Lender, or in transit by mail or carrier to
or from Lender or in the possession of any third party on behalf of Lender,
without regard to whether Lender received the same in pledge, for safekeeping,
as an agent for collection or transmission or otherwise, or whether Lender had
conditionally released the same, all of which shall at all times constitute
additional security for the obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the Loan
Documents, and all of which may be applied at any time after an Event of Default
by Borrower with respect to any of said obligations, without notice to Borrower,
in such order as Lender may determine.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Note
shall not impair the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
Note.
This Note has been delivered in, and shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Borrower and any other party who may become primarily or secondarily
liable for any of the obligations of Borrower hereunder hereby (a) waive
presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, (b) further
waive all exemptions to which they may now or hereafter be entitled under the
laws of this or any other state or of the United States, and (C) further agree
that the holder of this NotE shall have the right without notice, to deal in any
way, at any time, with Borrower, or any guarantor of this Note or with any other
party who may become primarily or secondarily liable for, or pledge any
collateral as security for, any of the obligations of Borrower under this Note
and to grant any extension of time for payment of this Note or any other
indulgence or forbearance whatsoever, and may release any security for the
payment of this Note and/or modify the terms of the Loan Documents securing or
pertaining to this Note, without in any way affecting the liability of Borrower,
or such other party who may pledge any collateral as security for, or become
primarily or secondarily liable for, the obligations of Borrower hereunder and
without waiving any rights the holder of this Note may have hereunder or by
virtue of the laws of this state or any other state of the United States.
IN THE EVENT LENDER SHALL AT ANY TIME INSTITUTE ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING AGAINST BORROWER, BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ALL
COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY AND ALL FEDERAL DISTRICT COURTS, AND TO
THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS IN THE
CITY OF LOUISVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, KENTUCKY, WHICH IS THE PLACE OF MAKING OF
THIS NOTE AND IS THE PRINCIPAL PLACE WHERE THE OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER TO THE
HOLDER HEREOF ARE TO BE PERFORMED.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES
THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY TO THIS NOTE
AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY TO THIS NOTE. THE CONSENT AND WAIVER CONTAINED
Page 28 of 34
HEREIN HAS BEEN VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY MADE, AFTER THE BORROWER HAS BEEN
ADVISED AND COUNSELED BY ITS ATTORNEYS AS TO THE NATURE THEREOF.

and specifically disclaims any representation or warranty, express or implied,
regarding the accuracy or completeness of the information about the Borrower
delivered to the Participant, the creditworthiness of the Borrower, the value of
any collateral, the validity or priority of any lien or the validity and
enforceability of the Loan Documents.
