CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated 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 Churchill Downs
Incorporated's (the "Company") annual report on Form 10-K. The year end
condensed consolidated 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, 1998 for further information. The accompanying
condensed consolidated 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.
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 accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect a
disproportionate share of annual net earnings (loss) as the Company
normally earns a substantial portion of its net earnings in the second
quarter of each year during which the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks are
run. The Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks are run on the first weekend in
May.
2. Long-Term Debt
On September 15, 1998, the Company obtained a $100 million line of credit
through a syndicate of banks headed by its principal lender, which expires
in September 2001. This credit facility replaced a $50 million line of
credit obtained during the second quarter of 1998. The interest rate on
borrowings was based upon LIBOR plus 50 to 112.5 additional basis points,
which was determined by certain Company financial ratios. There was $18.0
million outstanding on the line of credit at March 31, 1999, $11.0 million
outstanding at December 31, 1998 and no borrowings outstanding at March
31, 1998, under previous lines of credit. In connection with our
acquisition strategy, the Company increased the line of credit during the
second quarter of 1999 to $250 million (See Note 7).
3. Reclassification
Certain prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the current period presentation.

the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 (continued)
(Unaudited)
4. Acquisitions
On January 13, 1999, the Company acquired a 60% interest in Charlson
Broadcast Technologies, LLC ("CBT") for $3.1 million and made an
additional equity contribution to CBT in the amount of $2.3 million. CBT's
total assets and liabilities were $2.1 million and $2.2 million,
respectively, on the date of acquisition. The purchase price was allocated
to the fair value of net assets acquired, with the excess of $3.2 million
being amortized over periods of 5 and 15 years based on the nature of the
intangibles acquired. CBT's financial position and results of operations
have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements
since the date of acquisition.
On April 21, 1998, the Company acquired from TVI Corp., ("TVI") all of the
outstanding stock of Racing Corporation of America ("RCA") for a purchase
price of $22.6 million, which includes transaction costs of $.6 million.
RCA owns and operates Ellis Park Race Course in Henderson, Kentucky, and
the Kentucky Horse Center, a training facility located in Lexington,
Kentucky. As part of the transaction, TVI received 200,000 shares of the
Company's common stock valued at $4.9 million with the remaining balance
of $17.1 million paid from cash on hand and a draw on the Company's bank
line of credit. The purchase price of $22.6 million was allocated to the
acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values on the
acquisition date with the excess of $6.4 million being recorded as
goodwill, which is being amortized over 40 years. The acquisition was
accounted for by the Company under the purchase method of accounting and,
accordingly, the results of operations of RCA subsequent to April 20,
1998, are included in the Company's consolidated results of operations.
Following are the unaudited pro forma results of operations as if the
April 21, 1998, acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1998 (in thousands,
except per share and share amounts):

Net revenues $16,942

This unaudited proforma financial information is not necessarily
indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the
transaction been consummated as of January 1, 1998, nor is it
necessarily indicative of future operating results.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the
basic and diluted per share computations:
Three months ended

Loss (numerator) amounts used for basic
and diluted per share computations: $(3,010,136) $(1,569,031)

Options to purchase 478,298 and 426,532 shares for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998 are excluded from the computation of earnings
(loss) per common share-assuming dilution since their effect is
antidilutive because of the net loss for the period.
6. Segment Information
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." The Company has determined that it
currently operates in the following four segments: (1) Churchill Downs
racetrack, the Louisville Sports Spectrum simulcast facility and Churchill
Downs corporate expenses (2) Ellis Park racetrack and its on-site
simulcast facility, (3) Hoosier Park racetrack and its on-site simulcast
facility and the other three Indiana simulcast facilities and (4) Other
operations.
Most of the Company's revenues are generated from commissions on
pari-mutuel wagering at the Company's racetracks and simulcast wagering
facilities, as well as simulcast fees, admissions and concessions revenue
and other sources. Other operations include Kentucky Horse Center and the
Company's investments in various other business enterprises. The Company's
equity interest in the net income of equity method investees is not
significant. Eliminations include the elimination of management fees and
other intersegment transactions.

7. Subsequent Events
On April 23, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. from KE Acquisition
Corporation for a purchase price of $86 million cash plus a closing net
working capital adjustment of approximately $2.4 million cash and $0.6
million in transaction costs. The purchase included Calder Race Course in
Miami and the licenses held by Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park,
Inc. to conduct horse racing at Calder Race Course. Calder Race Course,
one of four Thoroughbred tracks in Florida, offers live racing and
simulcast-only days during two consecutive race meets, which run from late
May through early January. The results of operations of Calder Race
Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. will be included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition during the
second quarter of 1999.
Also on April 23, 1999, the Company increased its line of credit under a
new revolving loan facility through a syndicate of banks headed by its
principal lender to meet working capital and other short-term requirements
and to provide funding for acquisitions, including the pending acquisition
of Hollywood Park Race Track. The interest rate on the borrowing is based
upon LIBOR plus 100 to 250 additional basis points, which is determined by
certain Company financial ratios. The line of credit is secured by
substantially all of the assets of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. The new facility offers a line of credit of $250 million and
matures in 2004.
On May 6, 1999, the Company signed a definitive agreement whereby the
Company would purchase the Hollywood Park Race Track, the Hollywood Park
Casino and approximately 240 acres located at the racetrack site in
Inglewood, California. The racetrack offers live Thoroughbred racing and
simulcast wagering. Terms of the agreement includes a purchase price of
$140 million subject to certain adjustments and certain conditions to
closing. If not so terminated, closing of the transaction is expected in
the third quarter of 1999.

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements made
pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. The reader is cautioned that such forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the presently estimated amounts. These risks and uncertainties
include: our continued ability to effectively compete for the country's top
horses and trainers necessary to field high-quality horse racing; our continued
ability to grow our share of the interstate simulcast market; a substantial
change in regulations affecting our gaming activities; a substantial change in
allocation of live racing days; the impact of competition from alternative
gaming (including lotteries and riverboat and cruise ship casinos) and other
sports and entertainment options in those markets in which we operate; a
decrease in riverboat admissions revenue from our Indiana operations; Year 2000
computer issues; and our success in pursuit of our strategic initiatives
designed to attract new patrons and generate additional revenues.
Overview
We conduct pari-mutuel wagering on live Thoroughbred and Standardbred
and Quarter Horse horse racing and simulcast audio and video signals of races.
Additionally, we offer racing services through our other interests.
We own and operate the Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, Kentucky
which has conducted Thoroughbred racing continuously since 1875 and is
internationally known as home of the Kentucky Derby. We also own and operate
Ellis Park Race Course, a Thoroughbred racetrack, in Henderson, Kentucky ("Ellis
Park"), and Kentucky Horse Center, a Thoroughbred training center, in Lexington,
Kentucky. Additionally, we are the majority owner and operator of Hoosier Park
in Anderson, Indiana, which conducts Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse and
Standardbred horse racing. We conduct simulcast wagering on horse racing at our
four simulcast wagering facilities in Louisville, Kentucky, and in Indianapolis,
Merrillville and Fort Wayne, Indiana, as well as at our racetracks. We hold a
majority interest in Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC, a simulcast graphic
software and video services company for racetracks and simulcast-wagering
facilities. Additionally, we have a 50% interest in Kentucky Off-Track Betting
Inc., an alliance of Kentucky's racetracks that operates simulcast-wagering
facilities in Maysville, Jamestown, Pineville and Corbin, Kentucky, and a
minority interest in Kentucky Downs Race Course in Franklin, Kentucky; NASRIN
Services, LLC, a telecommunications company specializing in the simulcasting
needs of racetracks; and EquiSource, LLC a company that provides group
purchasing services for the Thoroughbred industry.
Because of the seasonal nature of our 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. We normally earn a substantial
portion of our net earnings in the second quarter of each year during which the
Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks are run on the first weekend in May.
Our primary sources of income are commissions and fees earned from
pari-mutuel wagering
11
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
on live and simulcast horse races. Other sources of income include admissions
and seating, riverboat admission tax subsidy, concession commissions (primarily
for the sale of food and beverages), sponsorship revenues, licensing rights and
broadcast fees.
Churchill Downs racetrack and Ellis Park as well as Kentucky's other
racetracks are subject to the licensing and regulation of the Kentucky Racing
Commission ("KRC"). The KRC consists of 11 members appointed by the governor of
Kentucky. Licenses to conduct live Thoroughbred race meetings and to participate
in simulcasting are approved annually by the KRC based upon applications
submitted by the racetracks in Kentucky. Although to some extent Churchill Downs
racetrack and Ellis Park compete with other racetracks in Kentucky for the
awarding of racing dates, the KRC is required by state law to consider and seek
to preserve each racetrack's usual and customary live racing dates. Generally,
there is no substantial change from year to year in the racing dates awarded to
each racetrack.
We received approval from the KRC to conduct live racing at Churchill
Downs racetrack from April 24 through June 27, 1999 ("Spring Meet") and from
October 31 through November 27, 1999 ("Fall Meet") for a total of 71 days,
compared to 71 racing days in 1998. Ellis Park has been granted a total of 61
live racing days running from June 28 through September 6, 1999, compared to 61
days of racing during 1998. The total number of days on which Churchill Downs
racetrack and Ellis Park conduct live racing fluctuates annually according to
the calendar year.
In Indiana, licenses to conduct live Standardbred and Thoroughbred race
meetings, including Quarter Horse races, and to participate in simulcasting are
approved annually by the Indiana Horse Racing Commission ("IHRC"), which
consists of five members appointed by the governor of Indiana. Licenses are
approved annually by the IHRC based upon applications submitted by Hoosier Park.
Currently, Hoosier Park is the only facility in Indiana licensed to conduct live
Standardbred, Quarter Horse or Thoroughbred racing and to participate in
simulcasting. Quarter Horse races are conducted during some Thoroughbred race
days. Hoosier Park has received a license to conduct live racing in 1999 for a
total of 169 racing days, including 104 days of Standardbred racing and 65 days
of Thoroughbred racing (which also includes Quarter Horse races). During 1998,
Hoosier Park conducted racing for 95 days of Standardbred racing and 58 days of
Thoroughbred racing.
In Florida, licenses to conduct live Thoroughbred racing and to
participate in simulcasting are approved by the State of Florida Department of
Business and Professional Regulation. Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical
Park, Inc., which were acquired April 23, 1999 (see Note 7 of the condensed
notes to consolidated financial statements) hold licenses to conduct live racing
at Calder Race Course. Calder Race Course, Inc. has been approved from May 23,
1999 through November 2, 1999 and Tropical Park, Inc. has been approved from
November 3, 1999 through January 2, 2000. Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical
Park, Inc. have been approved for a total of 168 days.
We employ approximately 500 full-time employees Company-wide. Due to the
seasonal nature of our live racing business, the number of seasonal and
part-time persons employed will vary
12
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
throughout the year, with peak employment occurring Kentucky Derby week when we
employ as many as 2,600 persons. At March 31, 1999, average full-time and
seasonal employment per pay period was approximately 850 individuals.
We generally do not directly compete with other racetracks or simulcast
wagering facilities for patrons due to geographic separation of such facilities.
However, we compete with other sports, entertainment and gaming options,
including lotteries, riverboat and cruise ship casinos, and other pari-mutuel
wagering facilities, for patrons for both live racing and simulcasting. We
attempt to attract patrons by providing the highest quality racing products in
attractive entertainment facilities with fairly priced, appealing concession
services.
The development of riverboat gaming facilities began in Indiana pursuant
to authorizing legislation passed by the state of Indiana in 1993. Illinois had
previously authorized riverboat gaming. There are currently five riverboat
casinos operating on the Ohio River along Kentucky's border -- including two in
the southeastern Indiana cities of Lawrenceburg and Rising Sun, one in
southwestern Indiana in Evansville and one at Metropolis, Illinois. The fifth
riverboat casino, licensed to RDI/Caesars, opened in November 1998 in Harrison
County, Indiana, 10 miles from Louisville. Business at our simulcast wagering
facility, the Louisville Sports Spectrum, decreased during the first quarter of
1999 as compared to the prior year. From January 1 through March 31, 1999,
wagering and attendance at the facility declined by 13 percent and 3.2 percent,
respectively, compared to the same period in 1998. It is impossible to
accurately determine the extent of the riverboat's impact on the Sports
Spectrum's business because other factors may have had an impact, such as
inclement weather and the corresponding loss of simulcast programs due to
cancellations at racetracks that send their simulcast signals to the Sports
Spectrum.
The Indiana Gaming Commission voted in September 1998 to grant a license
to open a sixth Indiana riverboat along the Ohio River in Switzerland County,
Indiana, approximately 70 miles from Louisville. The license holder, Hollywood
Park, Inc., plans to build a riverboat casino, hotel and resort complex, which
is projected to open in the third quarter of 2000.
The full impact of riverboat casinos on Kentucky racing cannot be
accurately determined until all riverboats are open and the markets are fully
matured. Studies project that the Churchill Downs racetrack and the Sports
Spectrum could experience a more significant impact on its wagering and
attendance in the Louisville market, than is presently being experienced, when
the RDI/Caesars riverboat is open to full capacity and has established itself in
the market. These same studies projected similar declines in western and
northern Kentucky, but recent experience at Ellis Park and Turfway Park
indicates the impact may not be as severe as these studies projected.
In addition to those riverboats operating along the Ohio River, five
riverboat casinos have opened along the Indiana shore of Lake Michigan near our
Sports Spectrum in Merrillville, Indiana. Our pari-mutuel wagering activities at
the Merrillville facility have been adversely impacted by the opening of these
Lake Michigan riverboats.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Additionally, the Pokagon Band of the Potawatomi Indian Tribe has
expressed an interest in establishing land-based casinos in northeastern Indiana
and southwestern Michigan although Indiana Governor Frank O'Bannon has publicly
expressed his opposition at this time to any further expansion of casino gaming
in Indiana. We continue to anticipate that development of any such Indian casino
will negatively impact pari-mutuel wagering activities at Hoosier Park's Indiana
facilities. However, the potential impact is difficult to estimate at this time
due, in part, to the uncertain geographic distances between Hoosier Park's
operations and the potential casino sites.
The integration of alternative gaming products at our racetrack
facilities is one of our four core business strategies developed to position us
to compete in this changing environment. Implementing these strategies, we have
successfully grown our live racing product by strengthening our flagship
operations, increasing our share of the interstate simulcast market, and
geographically expanding our racing operations in Kentucky, Indiana and Florida.
Alternative gaming in the form of video lottery terminals should enable us to
more effectively compete with Indiana riverboat casinos and provide new revenue
for purse money and capital investment. We continue to pursue legislation to
allow video lottery terminals at our racetrack facilities in Kentucky.
Currently, we are working with members of the Kentucky horse industry to
establish a consensus for a plan to operate video lottery terminals exclusively
at Kentucky's racetracks.
The horse industry in Indiana presently receives $.65 per $3 admission
to Indiana riverboats to compensate for the effect of riverboat competition. The
horse industry is required to allocate 70% of such revenue directly for purse
expenses, breed development and reimbursement of approved marketing costs. The
balance, or 30%, is retained by Hoosier Park as the only horse racetrack
currently operating in Indiana. Riverboat admissions revenue from our Indiana
operations increased $0.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 compared
to 1998, as a result of the expansion of existing and opening of additional
riverboats. The net increase in riverboat admissions revenue, after required
purse and marketing expense increases of approximately $0.6 million, is $0.2
million.
Legislation that sought to cap Hoosier Park's share of the $.65 subsidy
was introduced in the 1999 session of the Indiana General Assembly, however, no
such legislation had passed at the time the 1999 session adjourned. A
significant change in Hoosier Park's share of the subsidy would impact funding
for operating expenditures, potentially reducing the number of race dates at
Hoosier Park and, in all likelihood, re-emphasize the need for the integration
of alternative gaming products at the Hoosier Park racetrack in order for it to
effectively compete with riverboat casinos.
We have partnered with ODS Technologies L.P. (ODS) in the development
and operation of an in-home interactive wagering system in Jefferson County,
Kentucky, since 1995. The second phase of our relationship with ODS is the
launching of the Television Games Network (TVG), projected for the second
half of 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Pari-mutuel wagering for our three live racing facilities and four separate
simulcast wagering facilities during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 and 1998
is as follows:

1998 no. of days 75 292 90
* Pari-mutuel wagering information for the Ellis Park is provided for quarter
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. However, since Ellis Park was acquired on April
21, 1998 no revenues are included in the Company's results of operations for
the first quarter of 1998.
Comparison of Profit and Loss for Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 to 1998
Net Revenues
Net revenues during the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased $2.3 million
(15%) from $15.4 million in 1998 to $17.7 million in 1999. Churchill Downs
racetrack revenues decreased $0.8 million (14%) due primarily to decreases in
the Louisville Sports Spectrum simulcast revenues. Hoosier Park revenues
increased $0.9 million (9%) primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in the
riverboat gross admissions subsidy of which a portion was required to be spent
on purses and marketing expenses. Ellis Park contributed $1.2 million to first
quarter 1999 net revenues as opposed to none in the prior year. Other
operations, including the 1998 acquisition of Kentucky Horse Center, comprised
the remaining $1.0 million of the increase.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased $3.2 million (20%) from $16.0 million in 1998 to
$19.2 million in 1999. Hoosier Park operating expenses increased $1.2 million
(15%) due primarily to required increases in purses and marketing expenses
related to the riverboat admissions subsidy. Ellis Park incurred 1999 operating
expenses of $1.6 million versus none in the first quarter of 1998. Other
operations, including Kentucky Horse Center, accounted for the remaining $0.4
million of the increase in operating expenses.
15
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Gross Loss
Gross loss increased $0.9 million from $0.6 million loss in 1998 to $1.5 million
loss in 1999. Ellis Park accounted for $0.5 million and other operations
contributed $0.3 million of the increase in gross loss.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by $1.1 million
(53%) from $2.2 million in 1998 to $3.3 million in 1999. SG&A expenses at
Churchill Downs increased $0.4 million (23%) due primarily to increased
corporate staffing and compensation expenses reflecting the Company's
strengthened corporate services to meet the needs of new business units. The
acquisition of Ellis Park contributed $0.2 million and other operations,
including Kentucky Horse Center, accounted for $0.4 million of the increase in
SG&A expenses.
Other Income and Expense
Interest expense increased $0.3 million from $0.1 million in 1998 to $0.4
million in 1999 primarily as a result of borrowings to finance the acquisition
of Ellis Park.
Income Tax Provision
Our income tax benefit increased by $1.0 million from $1.0 million in 1998 to
$2.0 million in 1999 primarily as the result of a increase in pre-tax loss of
$2.5 million. The effective income tax rate increased from 38.9% in 1998 to
40.3% in 1999 due primarily to non-deductible amortization expense related to
the acquisitions of Ellis Park and Kentucky Horse Center in 1998 and Charlson
Broadcast Technologies, LLC in January 1999.
Significant Changes in the Balance Sheet March 31, 1999 to December 31, 1998
Accounts receivable balances decreased by $3.6 million in 1999. Churchill Downs
decreased its live meet accounts receivable by $2.9 million through the
collection of 1998 Fall meet receivables.
Prepaid income taxes increased $2.4 million as a result of the estimated income
tax benefit (receivable) associated with the quarterly net loss.
Intangible assets increased $3.0 million as a result of the goodwill recorded
for the acquisition of Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC during the first
quarter of 1999.
The net plant and equipment increase of $2.7 million during 1999 was primarily
due to the acquisition of Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC and routine
capital spending at our operating units offset by current year depreciation
expense.
16
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Accounts payable increased $4.8 million at March 31, 1999 primarily due to
increases in purses payable and other expenses related to simulcast wagering.
Dividends payable decreased $3.7 million at March 31, 1999 due to the payment of
dividends of $3.7 million (declared in 1998) in first quarter 1999.
Deferred revenue increased $7.0 million at March 31, 1999, primarily due to a
$6.5 million increase in corporate sponsor event ticket prices, season box and
membership sales, admissions and future wagering related to the 1999 Kentucky
Derby and Kentucky Oaks race days.
The long-term debt increase of $7.7 million was the result of additional
borrowings on our bank line of credit during the first quarter of 1999,
primarily to fund the acquisition of Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC.
Significant Changes in the Balance Sheet March 31, 1999 to March 31, 1998
Intangible assets increased $9.5 million due to the addition of goodwill of $6.5
million recorded for the acquisition of Ellis Park and Kentucky Horse Center and
$3.0 million for the acquisition and formation of Charlson Broadcast
Technologies, LLC.
Net plant and equipment increased $22.7 million primarily due to the acquisition
of Ellis Park and Kentucky Horse Center, Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC
and routine capital spending at our operating units offset by depreciation
expense.
The long-term debt increase of $18.6 million was due to line of credit
borrowings used to fund the acquisitions of Ellis Park and Kentucky Horse Center
during the second quarter of 1998 and Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC
during the first quarter of 1999.
Deferred income taxes increased by $4.6 million as a result of the recognition
of deferred taxes with the Ellis Park and Kentucky Horse Center acquisition
during the second quarter of 1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The working capital deficiency was $8.4 and $9.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, which results from the seasonality
of our businesses. Cash flows provided by operations were $7.8 and $7.3 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Management
believes cash flows from operations and available borrowings during 1999 will be
sufficient to fund our cash requirements for the year, including capital
improvements and the acquisitions of Calder Race Course and Hollywood Park Race
Track and Casino.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $5.5 and $1.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The $5.5 million in 1999 is
comprised of the $2.9 million
17
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
acquisition of a majority interest in Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC
during the first quarter and $2.6 million in capital spending at our facilities.
The capital additions for all locations, including construction of a $2.4
million stable area dormitory at the Churchill Downs racetrack facility, are not
expected to exceed $10 million for 1999.
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities were $3.9 and $(3.7)
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. We
borrowed $8 million and repaid $1 million on our line of credit during 1999
primarily to finance the purchase of Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC. In
addition, we received a $1.5 million contribution by a minority interest in our
Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC subsidiary.
In September 1998, we obtained a $100 million line of credit, of which $82
million was available at March 31, 1999 (See "Subsequent Events" section
discussed later). In April 1999, our total line of credit was increased to $250
million under a new revolving loan facility, secured by substantially all of our
assets, to meet working capital and other short-term requirements and to provide
funding for acquisitions, including the pending purchase of Hollywood Park,
which if completed, is scheduled to close in the third quarter of 1999. The new
revolving loan facility matures in 2004.
Impact of the Year 2000 Issue
The "Year 2000 Issue" is the result of computer programs that were written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year in date-dependent
systems. If our computer programs with date-sensitive functions are not Year
2000 compliant, they may be unable to distinguish the year 2000 from the year
1900. This could result in system failure or miscalculations leading to a
disruption of business operations.
Certain of our mission critical operations are dependent upon computer systems
and applications. These systems are either directly owned and controlled by us
or are provided under contract by third party technology service providers. To
address the Year 2000 issue, we have categorized the Year 2000 Issue into four
principal areas.
Systems Owned By the Company
The first area is related to systems that we own. These systems include
application software and dedicated hardware that run our core operations. In
addition, there are numerous applications that provide administrative support
and management reporting functions. Some of these applications have been
developed internally and others have been purchased.
To address Year 2000 compliance across this broad category of systems, we have
broken each system down into its most elemental pieces in order to study the
hardware including any embedded chip technology/firmware, the operating systems
and finally, the applications themselves.
18
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Hardware including any embedded chip technology/firmware that was not Year 2000
compliant has been identified and replaced as part of the routine turnover of
technology capital. Hardware remaining to be replaced is scheduled for upgrading
during the first half of 1999. By June 1999, all hardware and embedded chip
technology/firmware that we own is expected to be Year 2000 compliant.
All operating systems supporting specific applications have been checked by
advancing the dates to determine if operating system-level functionality is
impacted by the date change. As new operating system upgrades are made available
and installed, periodic testing will continue to assure operating system-level
functionality is maintained. In addition, we have contacted the developers of
the operating systems we use and have received assurances as to their
compatibility with the Year 2000 transition.
Application software compliance with the Year 2000 has been certified through a
combination of technical consultation with the software developers and testing.
Applications developed with internal resources have been written with the Year
2000 compliance in mind using development tools that are Year 2000 compliant. We
have received technical reports from third parties on Year 2000 compliance for
financial reporting, payroll, operations control and reporting and internal
communications applications. We require Year 2000 compliance on any software
upgrades.
Based on the schedule outlined above, we expect our owned systems to be Year
2000 compliant prior to the year 2000. The system will be tested by advancing
dates to include a majority of the Year 2000 critical dates by the fourth
quarter of 1999. However, even though our planned modifications to internally
owned hardware and software should adequately address Year 2000 issues, there
can be no assurance that unforeseen difficulties will not arise.
Technology Services Provided to the Company Under Contract By Third Parties
The second area is services provided to us by third parties. Many of these
services are mission critical and could materially impact us should the systems
upon which the services are dependent be unable to function.
The totalisator services provided by United Tote Company and AmTote
International, Inc. are the most critical to our operations. Totalisator
services include the calculation of amounts wagered and owed to winning ticket
holders. United Tote developed a plan to bring all systems provided to us into
Year 2000 compliance during 1998. United Tote and the Company initiated this
plan during the second quarter of 1998 by undertaking a comprehensive system
hardware and software upgrade that is Year 2000 compliant. The systems were
successfully installed in three phases with the last phase having been completed
in October 1998. All on-track, intertrack wagering and hub operations are Year
2000 compliant. We will continue to work closely with United Tote to assure that
future releases and upgrades are Year 2000 compliant by including this provision
as a condition of
19
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
contracting for future services. We are in the process of determining if AmTote
International, Inc. is Year 2000 compliant and expect to complete this
evaluation during the second quarter of 1999.
The video services provided by an outside vendor are also important to our
operations. Video services include the capture, production and distribution of
the television signal for distribution to customers located on our premises and
to customers located at remote outlets throughout the nation. We are working
closely with the vendor to ensure the software applications that provide the
graphical enhancements and other distinguishing features to the televised signal
for Churchill Downs racetrack and Hoosier Park are Year 2000 compliant. The
existing software for the graphical enhancements to the television signal is not
Year 2000 compliant. We have contacted the developer of the software package
directly and have received assurances that an upgrade to the software will be
Year 2000 compliant.
We purchase certain data and statistical information from Equibase for resale to
the public. This information is an essential element of our product and is
included in printed material made available to our customers to assist in their
wagering decisions. Equibase has implemented a Year 2000 remediation plan, which
is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 1999.
A variety of other smaller and less critical technology service providers are
involved with our product. We have received assurance letters from a majority of
these suppliers and will continue to work to receive assurances from those
remaining.
Because of the nature of our business and its dependence upon key technology
services provided by third parties, we require that all new software and
technology services are Year 2000 compliant. This requirement extends to include
patches, upgrades and fixes to existing technology services.
In the event that any of our third party service providers do not successfully
and timely achieve Year 2000 compliance, and we are unable to replace them with
alternate service providers, it could result in a delay in providing our core
live racing and simulcasting products to our customers and have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Industry-wide Issues
Because a significant portion of our revenues are derived from customers at
other racing organizations that are confronted with the same technological
issues, including totalisator, video and statistical information services, we
have been actively participating in an industry-wide assessment and remedial
efforts to address the Year 2000 issue.
Feedback Control Systems
A variety of the newer control and regulating systems are date sensitive.
Environmental control systems, elevator/escalator systems, fire control and
security systems utilize date-sensitive
20
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
software/embedded chip technology for correct operation. We have systems that
perform each of these functions, and are identifying if any of these systems
employ technology that may not be Year 2000 compliant. We will work closely with
manufacturers of these products to develop a remedial plan to assure year 2000
compliance if problems are identified.
Cost and Contingency Planning
To date, we have incurred less than $75,000 in costs to remediate Year 2000
compliance issues. Our management believes that any future costs to remediate
Year 2000 compliance issues will not be material to our financial position or
results of operations.
We are currently evaluating our most reasonably likely worst-case Year 2000
scenario and are also developing contingency plans as part of our efforts to
identify and correct Year 2000 issues affecting our owned systems as well as
issues involving third party service providers. We intend to complete both its
evaluation of a worst-case Year 2000 scenario and contingency planning by June
30, 1999. Due to the recent acquisition of Calder Race Course, Inc. and
Tropical Park, Inc. we will continue to assess the status of our Year
2000 compliance for those entities in regards to the factors mentioned above,and
we expect to complete this evaluation in the second quarter of 1999.
Subsequent Events
On April 23, 1999, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Calder Race
Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. from KE Acquisition Corporation for a
purchase price of $86 million cash plus a closing net working capital adjustment
of approximately $2.4 million cash and $0.6 million in transaction costs. The
purchase included Calder Race Course in Miami and the licenses held by Calder
Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. to conduct horse racing at Calder Race
Course. Calder Race Course , one of four Thoroughbred tracks in Florida, offers
live racing and simulcast-only days during two consecutive race meets, which run
from late May through early January. The results of operations of Calder Race
Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. will be included in our consolidated
financial statements from the date of acquisition. Management believes the
acquisition of Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. will increase
earnings during 1999.
Also on April 23, 1999, we increased our line of credit under a new revolving
loan facility through a syndicate of banks headed by our principal lender to
meet working capital and other short-term requirements and to provide funding
for acquisitions, including the pending acquisition of Hollywood Park Race
Track. The interest rate on the borrowing is based upon LIBOR plus 100 to 250
additional basis points, which is determined by certain Company financial
ratios. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of the assets of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The new facility offers a line of
credit of $250 million and matures in 2004.
On May 6, 1999, we signed a definitive agreement whereby we would purchase the
Hollywood Park Race Track, the Hollywood Park Casino and approximately 240 acres
located at the racetrack site in
21
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Inglewood, California. The racetrack offers live Thoroughbred racing and
simulcast wagering. Terms of the agreement includes a purchase price of $140
million subject to certain adjustments and certain conditions to closing. If
not so terminated, closing of the transaction is expected in the third quarter
of 1999.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our market risk exposures set forth in our December 31, 1998 Form 10-K have not
changed significantly through the first quarter of 1999. However, as a result of
our Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. acquisition, borrowing
under our variable rate debt is expected to increase significantly during the
second quarter of 1999.

of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.
2.8.3.2 In the event of any request for a drawing
under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Agent
will promptly notify the Borrower. Provided that it shall have received such
notice, the Borrower shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the Agent
shall sometimes be referred to as a "Reimbursement Obligation") the Agent prior
to 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time on each date that an amount is paid by the Agent
under any Letter of Credit (each such date, an "Drawing Date") in an amount
equal to the amount so paid by the Agent. In the event the Borrower fails to
reimburse the Agent for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of
Credit by 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time, on the Drawing Date, the Agent will
promptly notify each Bank thereof, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have
requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made by the Banks under the Base Rate
Option to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit,
subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit
Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 [Each

the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.8.3.2 may be oral if immediately
confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation

2.8.3.3 Each Bank shall upon any notice pursuant
to Section 2.8.3.2 make available to the Agent an amount in immediately
available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the drawing,
whereupon the participating Banks shall (subject to Section 2.8.3.4) each
be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan under the Base Rate Option to the
Borrower in that amount. If any Bank so notified fails to make available
to the Agent for the account of the Agent the amount of such Bank's Ratable
Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time on the
Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Bank's obligation to make
such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Bank makes such
payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate
during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per
annum equal to the rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option on and
after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The Agent will promptly give
notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Agent to
give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable

any Bank to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Bank from
its obligation under this Section 2.8.3.3.
2.8.3.4 With respect to any unreimbursed drawing
that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option
to the Borrower in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.8.3.2, because
of the Borrower's failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.2
[Each Additional Loan] other than any notice requirements or for any other
reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Agent a
borrowing (each a "Letter of Credit Borrowing") in the amount of such drawing.
Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together
with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the
Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option. Each Bank's payment to the
Agent pursuant to Section 2.8.3.3 shall be deemed to be a payment in respect
of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute
a "Participation Advance" from such Bank in satisfaction of its participation
obligation under this Section 2.8.3.
2.8.4 Repayment of Participation Advances.
2.8.4.1 Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Agent
for its account of immediately available funds from the Borrower (i) in
reimbursement of any payment made by the Agent under the Letter of Credit with
respect to which any Bank has made a Participation Advance to the Agent, or
(ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by the Agent under such a
Letter of Credit, the Agent will pay to each Bank, in the same funds as those
received by the Agent, the amount of such Bank's Ratable Share of such funds,
except the Agent shall retain the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of
any Bank that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment
by Agent.
2.8.4.2 If the Agent is required at any time to
return to any Loan Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian,
or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments
made by any Loan Party to the Agent pursuant to Section 2.8.4.1 in
reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee
thereon, each Bank shall, on demand of the Agent, forthwith return to the
Agent the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Agent
plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts
are returned by such Bank to the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time.
2.8.5 Documentation.
Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Agent's
application and agreement for letters of credit and the Agent's written
regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such
interpretation may be different from such Loan Party's own. In the event of a
conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement, this
Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of
gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Agent shall not be liable for any
error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in
69
following any Loan Party's instructions or those contained in the Letters of
Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.
2.8.6 Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests.
In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any
Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Agent shall be responsible only
to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under
such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face
with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.
2.8.7 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement
Obligations.
Each Bank's obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make
the Revolving Credit Loans or Participation Advances, as contemplated by
Section 2.8.3, as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the
Obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the Agent upon a draw under a Letter of
Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.8 under all
circumstances, including the following circumstances:
(i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
or other right which such Bank may have against the Agent, the Borrower or any
other Person for any reason whatsoever;
(ii) the failure of any Loan Party or any other
Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the
conditions set forth in Section 2.1.1 [Revolving Credit Commitments], 2.4.1
[Revolving Credit Loan Requests], 2.4 [Making Revolving Credit Loans] or 6.2
[Each Additional Loan] or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement for the
making of a Revolving Credit Loan, it being acknowledged that such conditions
are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the
obligation of the Banks to make Participation Advances under Section 2.8.3;
(iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Letter of Credit;
(iv) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense
or other right which any Loan Party or any Bank may have at any time against a
beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for
whom any such transferee may be acting), the Agent or any Bank or any other
Person or, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying
transaction between any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party and the
beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);
70
(v) any draft, demand, certificate or other
document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue
or inaccurate in any respect even if the Agent has been notified thereof;
(vi) payment by the Agent under any Letter of
Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other
document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
(vii) any adverse change in the business,
operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or
prospects of any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party;
(viii) any breach of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document by any party thereto;
(ix) the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency
Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party;
(x) the fact that an Event of Default or a
Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(xi) the fact that the Expiration Date shall have
passed or this Agreement or the Commitments hereunder shall have been
terminated; and
(xii) any other circumstance or happening
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
2.8.8 Indemnity.
In addition to amounts payable as provided in Section 9.5
[Reimbursement of Agent by Borrower, Etc.], the Borrower hereby agrees to
protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Agent from and against any and all
claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses
(including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) which the
Agent may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the
issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (A) the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent as determined by a final judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) the wrongful dishonor by the Agent
of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such
dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any
present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all
such acts or omissions herein called "Governmental Acts").
71
2.8.9 Liability for Acts and Omissions.
As between any Loan Party and the Agent, such Loan Party assumes all
risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the
respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be responsible for: (i) the
form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any
document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an
issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in
any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged
(even if the Agent shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or
sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to
transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of
any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may
be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw
upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Loan Party against any
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute
between or among any Loan Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or
any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in
transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or
otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of
technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any
document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or
of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such
Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or
(viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent,
including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair,
or prevent the vesting of, any of the Agent's rights or powers hereunder.
Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the Agent from liability for the
Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or
omissions described in such clauses(i) through (viii) of such sentence.
In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific
provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in
connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and
certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not
put the Agent under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Bank.
2.9 Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans.
PNC shall five (5) Business Days after a Swing Loan is made
demand repayment of such Swing Loan, and may, at its option at any other time,
demand repayment of such the Swing Loans, and upon any such demand each Bank
shall make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Bank's Ratable
Share of the aggregate principal amount of such outstanding Swing Loan, plus, if
PNC so requests, accrued interest thereon, provided that no Bank shall be
obligated in any event to make Revolving Credit Loans in excess of its Revolving
Credit Commitment. Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall bear interest at the Base Rate Option and shall be deemed to have
been properly requested in accordance with Section 2.4.1 without regard to any
72
of the requirements of that provision or other provisions of the Agreement. PNC
shall provide notice to the Banks (which may be telephonic or written notice by
letter, facsimile or telex) that such Revolving Credit Loans are to be made
under this Section 2.9 and of the apportionment among the Banks, and the Banks
shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Credit Loans (whether
or not the conditions specified in Section 6 are then satisfied) by the time PNC
so requests, which may be on the Business Day that the Banks receive such notice
from PNC.
3. INTEREST RATES
3.1 Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options.
Swing Loans shall bear interest at the interest rate set forth in the
Agent's Letter. The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding
unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option
or Euro-Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Loans, it being understood
that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select
different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply
simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may
convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any
portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche, provided that there shall
not be at any one time outstanding more than seven (7) Borrowing Tranches in the
aggregate among all of the Loans. If at any time the designated rate applicable
to any Loan made by any Bank exceeds such Bank's highest lawful rate, the rate
of interest on such Bank's Loan shall be limited to such Bank's highest lawful
rate. The Borrower shall have the right to select from the following Interest
Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans (subject to the provisions
in Section 2.9 regarding Swing Loans):
(i) Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum
(computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and
actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin,
such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as
of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or
(ii) Euro-Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the
Euro-Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
3.1.2 Rate Quotations.
The Borrower may call the Agent on or before the date on which a Loan
Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect,
but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Agent or
the Banks nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect
when the election is made.
73
3.2 Interest Periods.
At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew a
Euro-Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the Agent thereof at least three (3)
Business Days prior to the effective date of such Euro-Rate Option by delivering
a Loan Request. The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such
Interest Rate Option shall apply. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the
following provisions shall apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion
to a Euro-Rate Option:
3.2.1 Amount of Borrowing Tranche.
each Borrowing Tranche of Euro-Rate Loans shall be in integral
multiples of $100,000 and not less than $500,000;
3.2.2 Renewals.
in the case of the renewal of a Euro-Rate Option at the end of an
Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day
of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for
such day.
3.3 Interest After Default.
To the extent permitted by Law, from and after the occurrence of
an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been
cured or waived:
3.3.1 Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate.
the Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of interest for each Loan
otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.8.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] or
Section 3.1 [Interest Rate Options], respectively, shall be increased by 2.0%
per annum; and
3.3.2 Other Obligations.
each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable
under the Base Rate Option plus an additional 2% per annum from the time such
Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is paid in full.
3.3.3 Acknowledgment.
The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in
this Section 3.3 reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other
amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and
that the Banks are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all
such interest shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by Agent.
74
3.4 Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs;
Deposits Not Available.
3.4.1 Unascertainable.
If on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be determined, the
Agent shall have determined that:
(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist
for ascertaining such Euro-Rate, or (ii) a contingency has occurred which
materially and adversely affects the London interbank eurodollar market
relating to the Euro-Rate, the Agent shall have the rights specified in Section.
3.4.3.
3.4.2 Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not
Available.
If at any time any Bank shall have determined that:
(i) the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan
to which a Euro-Rate Option applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by
compliance by such Bank in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or
application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive
of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or
(ii) such Euro-Rate Option will not adequately
and fairly reflect the cost to such Bank of the establishment or maintenance of
any such Loan, or
(iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits
of the relevant amount in Dollars for the relevant Interest Period for a Loan
to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such
Bank with respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank
eurodollar market,
then the Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 3.4.3.
3.4.3 Agent's and Bank's Rights.
In the case of any event specified in Section 3.4.1 above, the Agent
shall promptly so notify the Banks and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of
an event specified in Section 3.4.2 above, such Bank shall promptly so notify
the Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific
circumstances of such notice, and the Agent shall promptly send copies of such
notice and certificate to the other Banks and the Borrower. Upon such date as
shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such
notice is given), the obligation of (A) the Banks, in the case of such notice
75
given by the Agent, or (B) such Bank, in the case of such notice given by such
Bank, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option
shall be suspended until the Agent shall have later notified the Borrower, or
such Bank shall have later notified the Agent, of the Agent's or such Bank's, as
the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such
previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the Agent makes a
determination under Section 3.4.1 and the Borrower has previously notified the
Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Euro-Rate Option and
such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall
be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate
Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans. If any Bank notifies the
Agent of a determination under Section 3.4.2, the Borrower shall, subject to the
Borrower's indemnification Obligations under Section 4.5.2 [Indemnity], as to
any Loan of the Bank to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, on the date specified
in such notice either convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise
available with respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with
Section 4.4 [Voluntary Prepayments]. Absent due notice from the Borrower of
conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base
Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified
date.
3.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options.
If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to
any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option at the expiration of
an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance
with the provisions of Section 3.2 [Interest Periods], the Borrower shall be
deemed to have converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Base Rate Option,
commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.
4. PAYMENTS
4.1 Payments.
All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal,
interest, Commitment Fees, Closing Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Agent's Fee or
other fees or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be payable prior to
11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, on the date when due without presentment, demand,
protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature,
and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to
the Agent at the Principal Office for the account of PNC Bank with respect to
the Swing Loans and for the ratable accounts of the Banks with respect to the
Revolving Credit Loans in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, and
the Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Banks in immediately
available funds, provided that in the event payments are received by 11:00 a.m.,
Pittsburgh time, by the Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are
not distributed to the Banks on the same day received by the Agent, the Agent
shall pay the Banks the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to the amount
of such payments for each day held by the Agent and not distributed to the
Banks. The Agent's and each Bank's statement of account, ledger or other
relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the
75
statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other
amounts owing under this Agreement and shall be deemed an "account stated." The
Borrower shall pay all outstanding Loans, interest on Loans and other
Obligations on the Expiration Date.
4.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Banks.
Each borrowing shall be allocated to each Bank according to its
Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest
Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to
principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Closing Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, or
other fees (except for the Agent's Fee) or amounts due from the Borrower
hereunder to the Banks with respect to the Loans, shall (except as provided in
Section 3.4.3 [Agent's and Bank's Rights] in the case of an event specified in
Section 3.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], 4.4.2 [Replacement of a Bank] or
4.5 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) be made in proportion to
the applicable Loans outstanding from each Bank and, if no such Loans are then
outstanding, in proportion to the Ratable Share of each Bank. Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrower of
principal, interest, fees or other amounts from the Borrower with respect to
Swing Loans shall be made by or to PNC Bank according to Section 2.
4.3 Interest Payment Dates.
Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be
due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each April, July,
October and January after the date hereof and on the Expiration Date or upon
acceleration of the Notes. Interest on Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option
applies shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period for
those Loans and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months, also
on the 90th day of such Interest Period. Interest on the principal amount of
each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after
such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable
(whether on the stated maturity date, upon acceleration or otherwise).
4.4 Voluntary Prepayments.
4.4.1 Right to Prepay.
The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to
prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided
in Section 4.4.2 below or in Section 4.5 [Additional Compensation in Certain
Circumstances]):
(i) at any time with respect to any Loan to which
the Base Rate Option applies so long as such payments are in an amount not less
than $100,000 and in integers of $100,000,
77
(ii) daily at any time with respect to any Swing
Loan so long as such payments are in an amount not less than $100,000 and
in whole integer multiples of $100,000,
(iii) on the last day of the applicable Interest
Period with respect to Loans to which a Euro-Rate Option applies so long as
such payments are in an amount not less than $5,000,000 and in whole integer
multiples of $100,000,
(iv) on the date specified in a notice by any
Bank pursuant to Section 4.5 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.] with respect
to any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies.
Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, it shall
provide a prepayment notice to the Agent by 1:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, on the
date of prepayment of the Swing Loans or at least one (1) Business Day prior to
the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans, setting forth the
following information:
(x) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the
proposed prepayment is to be made;
(y) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment
between the Swing Loans and Revolving Credit Loans; and
(z)....the total principal amount of such prepayment,
which shall not be less than the amounts set forth
in this Section.
All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of
the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such
principal amount except with respect to Loans to which the Base Rate Option
applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment
notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. Except as
provided in Section 3.4.3 [Agent's and Bank's rights], if the Borrower prepays a
Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is
prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied (i) first to Swing Loans, then to
Revolving Credit Loans; and (ii) after giving effect to the allocations in
clause (i) above and in the preceding sentence, first to Loans to which the Base
Rate Option applies, then to Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies. Any
prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower's Obligation to indemnify
the Banks under Section 4.5.2 [Indemnity].
4.4.2 Replacement of a Bank.
In the event any Bank (i) gives notice under Section 3.4 [Euro-Rate
Unascertainable, Etc.] or Section 4.5.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.], (ii) does not
fund Revolving Credit Loans because the making of such Loans would contravene
any Law applicable to such Bank, or (iii) becomes subject to the control of an
Official Body (other than normal and customary supervision), then the Borrower
78
shall have the right at its option, with the consent of the Agent, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, to prepay the Loans of such Bank in whole,
together with all interest accrued thereon, and terminate such Bank's Commitment
within ninety (90) days after (x) receipt of such Bank's notice under Section
3.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.] or 4.5.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.], (y) the
date such Bank has failed to fund Revolving Credit Loans because the making of
such Loans would contravene Law applicable to such Bank, or (z) the date such
Bank became subject to the control of an Official Body, as applicable; provided
that the Borrower shall also pay to such Bank at the time of such prepayment any
amounts required under Section 4.5 [Additional Compensation in Certain
Circumstances] and any accrued interest due on such amount and any related fees;
provided, however, that the Commitment of such Bank shall be provided by one or
more of the remaining Banks or a replacement bank acceptable to the Agent;
provided, further, the remaining Banks shall have no obligation hereunder to
increase their Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may only be
replaced subject to the requirements of Section 9.14 [Successor Agent] and
provided that all Letters of Credit have expired or been terminated or replaced
and all Swing Loans have been repaid or assumed by the Agent's successor.
4.4.3 Change of Lending Office.
Each Bank agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to
increased costs or other special payments under Section 3.4.2 [Illegality, Etc.]
or 4.5.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.] with respect to such Bank, it will if requested
by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy
considerations of such Bank) to designate another lending office for any Loans
or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is
made on such terms that such Bank and its lending office suffer no economic,
legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of
the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section
4.4.3 shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any
other Loan Party or the rights of the Agent or any Bank provided in this
Agreement.
4.5 Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances.
4.5.1 Increased Costs or Reduced Return Resulting
from Taxes, Reserves, Capital Adequacy
Requirements, Expenses, Etc.
If any Law, guideline or interpretation or any change in any Law,
guideline or interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance with any request
or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any central bank or
other Official Body:
(i) subjects any Bank to any tax or changes the
basis of taxation with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Loans or
payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, or other
amounts due from the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes (except for taxes on
the overall net income of such Bank),
79
(ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any
reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against credits or commitments
to extend credit extended by, or assets (funded or contingent) of, deposits
with or for the account of, or other acquisitions of funds by, any Bank, or
(iii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any
capital adequacy or similar requirement (A) against assets (funded or
contingent) of, or letters of credit, other credits or commitments to extend
credit extended by, any Bank, or (B) otherwise applicable to the obligations of
any Bank under this Agreement,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to, reduce the
income receivable by, or impose any expense (including loss of margin) upon any
Bank with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or the making, maintenance or
funding of any part of the Loans (or, in the case of any capital adequacy or
similar requirement, to have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any
Bank's capital, taking into consideration such Bank's customary policies with
respect to capital adequacy) by an amount which such Bank in its sole discretion
deems to be material, such Bank shall from time to time notify the Borrower and
the Agent of the amount determined in good faith (using any averaging and
attribution methods employed in good faith) by such Bank to be necessary to
compensate such Bank for such increase in cost, reduction of income, additional
expense or reduced rate of return. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable
detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by
the Borrower to such Bank ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.
4.5.2 Indemnity.
In addition to the compensation required by Section 4.5.1 [Increased
Costs, Etc.], the Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against all liabilities,
losses or expenses (including loss of margin, any loss or expense incurred in
liquidating or employing deposits from third parties and any loss or expense
incurred in connection with funds acquired by a Bank to fund or maintain Loans
subject to a Euro-Rate Option) which such Bank sustains or incurs as a
consequence of any
(i) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of
any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies on a day other than the last day
of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment or prepayment
is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or
prepayment is then due),
(ii) attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly,
by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests
under Section 2.4.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] or Section 3.2 [Interest
Periods] or notice relating to prepayments under Section 4.4 [Voluntary
Prepayments], or
(iii) default by the Borrower in the performance
or observance of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, including
80
any failure of the Borrower to pay when due (by acceleration or otherwise) any
principal, interest, Commitment Fee or any other amount due hereunder.
If any Bank sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall
from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by
such Bank (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of
costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Bank shall deem
reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Bank for such loss or expense.
Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such
determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Bank
ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.
4.6 Settlement Date Procedures.
In order to minimize the transfer of funds between the Banks and
the Agent, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Loans and PNC Bank
may make Swing Loans as provided in Section 2.1.2 and otherwise hereunder during

Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Bank or participant anywhere in the world shall
have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it,
without notice to such Loan Party, to set-off against and apply to the then
unpaid balance of all the Loans and all other Obligations of the Borrower and
the other Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document any debt owing
to, and any other funds held in any manner for the account of, the Borrower or

otherwise) now or hereafter maintained by the Borrower or such other Loan Party
for its own account (but not including funds held in custodian or trust accounts
or the "Horseman's Account") with such Bank or participant or such branch,
Subsidiary or Affiliate. Such right shall exist whether or not any Bank or the
Agent shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, whether or not such debt owing to or funds held for the account of the
Borrower or such other Loan Party is or are matured or unmatured and regardless
of the existence or adequacy of any Collateral, Guaranty or any other security,

by suit in equity, action at law and/or other appropriate proceeding, whether
for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including as permitted by applicable Law
the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if such amount
shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the

and

From and after the date on which the Agent has taken any action
pursuant to this Section 8.2 and until all Obligations of the Loan Parties have
been paid in full, any and all proceeds received by the Agent from any sale or
other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, or the exercise of any
other remedy by the Agent, shall be applied as follows:
123
(i) first, to reimburse the Agent and the Banks
for out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements, including reasonable

All Liens granted under each Mortgage, the Patent Trademark and
Copyright Security Agreement, the Patent, Trademark and Copyright Security
Agreement--Calder and Tropical, the Pledge Agreement, and the Security Agreement

IRP Provider under a Permitted Secured Interest Rate Protection Agreement. The
Agent under the Mortgages, Security Agreement, Pledge Agreement, Patent,
Trademark and Copyright Security Agreement and Patent, Trademark and Copyright
Security Agreement--Calder and Tropical and related collateral security
documents shall be deemed to serve as the collateral agent (the "Collateral
Agent") for the IRP Provider thereunder, provided that the Collateral Agent
shall comply with the instructions and directions of the Agent (or the Banks
under this Agreement to the extent that this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents empowers the Banks to direct the Agent), as to all matters relating to
the Collateral, including the maintenance and disposition thereof. No IRP
Provider shall be entitled or have the power to direct or instruct the
Collateral Agent on any such matters or to control or direct in any manner the
maintenance or disposition of the Collateral.

9. THE AGENT
9.1 Appointment.
Each Bank hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes
PNC Bank to act as Agent for such Bank under this Agreement and to execute and
deliver or accept on behalf of each of the Banks the other Loan Documents. Each
Bank hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the
acceptance of a Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Agent to take
such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein, and
to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder as are specifically
delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. PNC Bank agrees to act as the Agent
on behalf of the Banks to the extent provided in this Agreement.
9.2 Delegation of Duties.
The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through
agents or employees (provided such delegation does not constitute a
relinquishment of its duties as Agent) and, subject to Sections 9.5
[Reimbursement of Agent by Borrower, Etc.] and 9.6, shall be entitled to engage
and pay for the advice or services of any attorneys, accountants or other
experts concerning all matters pertaining to its duties hereunder and to rely
upon any advice so obtained.
9.3 Nature of Duties; Independent Credit Investigation.
The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or otherwise exist. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and
administrative in nature; the Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a
fiduciary or trust relationship in respect of any Bank; and nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to
impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as
125
expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with reference to the Agent is not
intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations
arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used
merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only
an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each
Bank expressly acknowledges (i) that the Agent has not made any representations
or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any
review of the affairs of any of the Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute
any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Bank; (ii) that it has made
and will continue to make, without reliance upon the Agent, its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs and its own appraisal of
the creditworthiness of each of the Loan Parties in connection with this
Agreement and the making and continuance of the Loans hereunder; and (iii)
except as expressly provided herein, that the Agent shall have no duty or
responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Bank
with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into
its possession before the making of any Loan or at any time or times thereafter.
9.4 Actions in Discretion of Agent; Instructions From the
Banks.
The Agent agrees, upon the written request of the Required Banks,
to take or refrain from taking any action of the type specified as being within
the Agent's rights, powers or discretion herein, provided that the Agent shall
not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability
or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable
Law. In the absence of a request by the Required Banks, the Agent shall have
authority, in its sole discretion, to take or not to take any such action,
unless this Agreement specifically requires the consent of the Required Banks or
all of the Banks. Any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such
instructions or discretion shall be binding on the Banks, subject to Section 9.6
[Exculpatory Provisions, Etc.]. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.6, no
Bank shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of
the Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the
instructions of the Required Banks, or in the absence of such instructions, in
the absolute discretion of the Agent.
9.5 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by the Borrower.
The Borrower unconditionally agrees to pay or reimburse the Agent
and hold the Agent harmless against (a) liability for the payment of all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements, including fees and
expenses of counsel, appraisers and environmental consultants, incurred by the
Agent (i) in connection with the development, negotiation, preparation,
printing, execution, administration, syndication, interpretation and performance
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) relating to any requested
amendments, waivers or consents pursuant to the provisions hereof, (iii) in
connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the proof and allowability
126
of any claim arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in
bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or otherwise, and (iv) in any workout or
restructuring or in connection with the protection, preservation, exercise or
enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or under any
other Loan Document or in connection with any foreclosure, collection or
bankruptcy proceedings, and (b) all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Agent, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising
out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted
by the Agent hereunder or thereunder, provided that the Borrower shall not be
liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements if the
same results from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or if the
Borrower was not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to
participate in the defense thereof, at its expense (except that the Borrower
shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in
a loss to the Borrower), or if the same results from a compromise or settlement
agreement entered into without the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. In addition, if an Event of Default exists and is
continuing, the Borrower agrees to reimburse and pay all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent's regular employees and agents engaged
periodically to perform audits of the Loan Parties' books, records and business
properties.
9.6 Exculpatory Provisions; Limitation of Liability.
Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees,
agents, attorneys or Affiliates shall (a) be liable to any Bank for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in connection herewith
including pursuant to any Loan Document, unless caused by its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct, (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the
Banks for the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity or the due
execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or for any recital,
representation, warranty, document, certificate, report or statement herein or
made or furnished under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents, or (c) be under any obligation to any of the Banks to ascertain or to
inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions hereof or thereof on the part of the Loan Parties, or the financial
condition of the Loan Parties, or the existence or possible existence of any
Event of Default or Potential Default. No claim may be made by any of the Loan
Parties, any Bank, the Agent or any of their respective Subsidiaries against the
Agent, any Bank or any of their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents, attorneys or Affiliates, or any of them, for any special, indirect or
consequential damages or, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, for any
punitive damages in respect of any claim or cause of action (whether based on
contract, tort, statutory liability, or any other ground) based on, arising out
of or related to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or
any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, including the
127
negotiation, documentation, administration or collection of the Loans, and each
of the Loan Parties, (for itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries), the
Agent and each Bank hereby waive, releases and agree never to sue upon any claim
for any such damages, whether such claim now exists or hereafter arises and
whether or not it is now known or suspected to exist in its favor. Each Bank
agrees that, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required
to be furnished to the Banks by the Agent hereunder or given to the Agent for
the account of or with copies for the Banks, the Agent and each of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates shall not have
any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with an credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial
or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Loan Parties which may come
into the possession of the Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees,
agents, attorneys or Affiliates.
9.7 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by Banks.
Each Bank agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Agent (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the Obligation of the
Borrower to do so) in proportion to its Ratable Share from and against all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements, including attorneys' fees and disbursements,
and costs of appraisers and environmental consultants, of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent,
in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent
hereunder or thereunder, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion
of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (a) if the same results from
the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) if such Bank was not
given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the
defense thereof, at its expense (except that such Bank shall remain liable to
the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the Bank),
or (c) if the same results from a compromise and settlement agreement entered
into without the consent of such Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
In addition, each Bank agrees promptly upon demand to reimburse the Agent (to
the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the Obligation of
the Borrower to do so) in proportion to its Ratable Share for all amounts due
and payable by the Borrower to the Agent in connection with the Agent's periodic
audit of the Loan Parties' books, records and business properties.
9.8 Reliance by Agent.
The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any writing, telegram,
telex or teletype message, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, letter,
cablegram, statement, order or other document or conversation by telephone or
otherwise believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent
or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon the advice and opinions of
counsel and other professional advisers selected by the Agent. The Agent shall
be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder unless it
shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all
liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action.
128
9.9 Notice of Default.
The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has
received written notice from a Bank or the Borrower referring to this Agreement,
describing such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a "notice of default."
9.10 Notices.
The Agent shall promptly send to each Bank a copy of all notices
received from the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents promptly upon receipt thereof. The Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower and the other Banks of each change in the Base Rate and the
effective date thereof.
9.11 Banks in Their Individual Capacities.
With respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment, the Revolving
Credit Loans made by it and any other rights and powers given to it as a Bank
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall have the
same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as
though it were not the Agent, and the term "Banks" shall, unless the context
otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. PNC Bank and
its Affiliates and each of the Banks and their respective Affiliates may,
without liability to account, except as prohibited herein, make loans to, accept
deposits from, discount drafts for, act as trustee under indentures of, and
generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with, the Loan Parties
and their Affiliates, in the case of the Agent, as though it were not acting as
Agent hereunder and in the case of each Bank, as though such Bank were not a
Bank hereunder. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the
Agent or its Affiliates may (i) receive information regarding the Loan Parties
(including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in
favor of the Loan Parties) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no
obligation to provide such information to them, and (ii) accept fees and other
consideration from the Loan Parties for services in connection with this
Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Banks.
9.12 Holders of Notes.
The Agent may deem and treat any payee of any Note as the owner
thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until written notice of the
assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent. Any
request, authority or consent of any Person who at the time of making such
request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of any Note shall be
conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such
Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.
129
9.13 Equalization of Banks.
The Banks and the holders of any participations in any Notes
agree among themselves that, with respect to all amounts received by any Bank or
any such holder for application on any Obligation hereunder or under any Note or
under any such participation, whether received by voluntary payment, by
realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of set-off or banker's
lien, by counterclaim or by any other non-pro rata source, equitable adjustment
will be made in the manner stated in the following sentence so that, in effect,
all such excess amounts will be shared ratably among the Banks and such holders
in proportion to their interests in payments under the Notes, except as
otherwise provided in Section 3.4.3 [Agent's and Bank's Rights], 4.4.2
[Replacement of a Bank] or 4.5 [Additional Compensation in Certain
Circumstances]. The Banks or any such holder receiving any such amount shall
purchase for cash from each of the other Banks an interest in such Bank's Loans
in such amount as shall result in a ratable participation by the Banks and each
such holder in the aggregate unpaid amount under the Notes, provided that if all
or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from the Bank or
the holder making such purchase, such purchase shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest
or other amounts, if any, required by law (including court order) to be paid by
the Bank or the holder making such purchase.
9.14 Successor Agent.
The Agent (i) may resign as Agent or (ii) shall resign if such
resignation is requested by the Required Banks (if the Agent is a Bank, the
Agent's Loans and its Commitment shall be considered in determining whether the
Required Banks have requested such resignation) or required by Section 4.4.2
[Replacement of a Bank], in either case of (i) or (ii) by giving not less than
thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Borrower. If the Agent shall
resign under this Agreement, then either (a) the Required Banks shall appoint
from among the Banks a successor agent for the Banks, subject to the consent of
the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, or (b) if a
successor agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the thirty (30)
day period following the Agent's notice to the Banks of its resignation, then
the Agent shall appoint, with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld, a successor agent who shall serve as Agent until such
time as the Required Banks appoint and the Borrower consents to the appointment
of a successor agent. Upon its appointment pursuant to either clause (a) or (b)
above, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of
the Agent, and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent, effective upon
its appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall
be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such
former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After the resignation of
any Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to the benefit
of such former Agent and such former Agent shall not by reason of such
resignation be deemed to be released from liability for any actions taken or not
taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement.
130
9.15 Agent's Fee.
The Borrower shall pay to the Agent a nonrefundable fee (the
"Agent's Fee") under the terms of a letter (the "Agent's Letter") between the
Borrower and Agent, as amended from time to time.
9.16 Availability of Funds.
The Agent may assume that each Bank has made or will make the
proceeds of a Loan available to the Agent unless the Agent shall have been
notified by such Bank on or before the later of (1) the close of Business on the
Business Day preceding the Borrowing Date with respect to such Loan or two (2)
hours before the time on which the Agent actually funds the proceeds of such
Loan to the Borrower (whether using its own funds pursuant to this Section 9.16
or using proceeds deposited with the Agent by the Banks and whether such funding
occurs before or after the time on which Banks are required to deposit the
proceeds of such Loan with the Agent). The Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption (but shall not be required to), make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available
to the Agent by such Bank, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on
demand from such Bank (or, if such Bank fails to pay such amount forthwith upon
such demand from the Borrower) together with interest thereon, in respect of
each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available
to the Borrower and ending on the date the Agent recovers such amount, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three
(3) days after such interest shall begin to accrue and (ii) the applicable
interest rate in respect of such Loan after the end of such three-day period.
9.17 Calculations.
In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the
Agent shall not be liable for any error in computing the amount payable to any
Bank whether in respect of the Loans, fees or any other amounts due to the Banks
under this Agreement. In the event an error in computing any amount payable to
any Bank is made, the Agent, the Borrower and each affected Bank shall,
forthwith upon discovery of such error, make such adjustments as shall be
required to correct such error, and any compensation therefor will be calculated
at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.
9.18 Beneficiaries.
Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of this
Section 9 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks, and the Loan

10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Modifications, Amendments or Waivers.
With the written consent of the Required Banks, the Agent, acting

provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the rights of the
Banks or the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder, or may grant written waivers
or consents to a departure from the due performance of the Obligations of the
Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder. Any such agreement, waiver or consent made
with such written consent shall be effective to bind all the Banks and the Loan
Parties; provided, that, without the written consent of all the Banks, no such

Date.
Increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Bank
hereunder or extend the Expiration Date;

Amend Section 4.2 [Pro Rata Treatment of Banks], 9.6 [Exculpatory
Provisions, Etc.] or 9.13 [Equalization of Banks] or this Section 10.1, alter
any provision regarding the pro rata treatment of the Banks, change the
definition of Required Banks, or change any requirement providing for the Banks
or the Required Banks to authorize the taking of any action hereunder
132
provided, further, that no agreement, waiver or consent which would modify the
interests, rights or obligations of the Agent in its capacity as Agent or as the
issuer of Letters of Credit shall be effective without the written consent of
the Agent.
10.2 No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies; Writing Required.
No course of dealing and no delay or failure of the Agent or any
Bank in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or
any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power,
remedy or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right,
power, remedy or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Banks
under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. Any waiver,
permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Bank of
any breach or default under this Agreement or any such waiver of any provision
or condition of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to
the extent specifically set forth in such writing.
10.3 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Banks by the Borrower;
Taxes.
The Borrower agrees unconditionally upon demand to pay or
reimburse to each Bank (other than the Agent, as to which the Borrower's
Obligations are set forth in Section 9.5 [Reimbursement of Agent By Borrower,
Etc.]) and to save such Bank harmless against (i) liability for the payment of
all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees
and expenses of counsel for each Bank except with respect to (a) and (b) below),
incurred by such Bank (a) in connection with the administration and
interpretation of this Agreement, and other instruments and documents to be
delivered hereunder, (b) relating to any amendments, waivers or consents
pursuant to the provisions hereof, (c) in connection with the enforcement of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or collection of amounts due
hereunder or thereunder or the proof and allowability of any claim arising under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in bankruptcy or receivership
proceedings or otherwise, and (d) in any workout or restructuring or in
connection with the protection, preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of
the terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or
in connection with any foreclosure, collection or bankruptcy proceedings, or
(ii) all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Bank,
in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Bank
hereunder or thereunder, provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (A) if the same results from
such Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (B) if the Borrower was
not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the
defense thereof, at its expense (except that the Borrower shall remain liable to
the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the
133
Borrower), or (C) if the same results from a compromise or settlement agreement
entered into without the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The Banks will attempt to minimize the fees and expenses
of legal counsel for the Banks which are subject to reimbursement by the
Borrower hereunder by considering the usage of one law firm to represent the
Banks and the Agent if appropriate under the circumstances. The Borrower agrees
unconditionally to pay all stamp, document, transfer, recording or filing taxes
or fees and similar impositions now or hereafter determined by the Agent or any
Bank to be payable in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
and the Borrower agrees unconditionally to save the Agent and the Banks harmless
from and against any and all present or future claims, liabilities or losses
with respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any
such taxes, fees or impositions.
10.4 Holidays.
Whenever payment of a Loan to be made or taken hereunder shall be
due on a day which is not a Business Day such payment shall be due on the next
Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest
and fees, except that the Loans shall be due on the Business Day preceding the
Expiration Date if the Expiration Date is not a Business Day. Whenever any
payment or action to be made or taken hereunder (other than payment of the
Loans) shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such
payment or action shall be made or taken on the next following Business Day
(except as provided in Section 3.2 [Interest Periods] with respect to Interest
Periods under the Euro-Rate Option), and such extension of time shall not be
included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment
or action.
10.5 Funding by Branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate.
10.5.1 Notional Funding.
Each Bank shall have the right from time to time, without notice to the
Borrower, to deem any branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate (which for the purposes of
this Section 10.5 shall mean any corporation or association which is directly or
indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with any
corporation or association which directly or indirectly controls such Bank) of
such Bank to have made, maintained or funded any Loan to which the Euro-Rate
Option applies at any time, provided that immediately following (on the
assumption that a payment were then due from the Borrower to such other office),
and as a result of such change, the Borrower would not be under any greater
financial obligation pursuant to Section 4.5 [Additional Compensation in Certain
Circumstances] than it would have been in the absence of such change. Notional
funding offices may be selected by each Bank without regard to such Bank's
actual methods of making, maintaining or funding the Loans or any sources of
funding actually used by or available to such Bank.
134
10.5.2 Actual Funding.
Each Bank shall have the right from time to time to make or maintain
any Loan by arranging for a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Bank to make
or maintain such Loan subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.5.2. If
any Bank causes a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain any part
of the Loans hereunder, all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall, except
where the context clearly requires otherwise, be applicable to such part of the
Loans to the same extent as if such Loans were made or maintained by such Bank,
but in no event shall any Bank's use of such a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate
to make or maintain any part of the Loans hereunder cause such Bank or such
branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to incur any cost or expenses payable by the
Borrower hereunder or require the Borrower to pay any other compensation to any
Bank (including any expenses incurred or payable pursuant to Section 4.5
[Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) which would otherwise not be
incurred.
10.6 Notices.
All notices, requests, demands, directions and other
communications (as used in this Section 10.6, collectively referred to as
"notices") given to or made upon any party hereto under the provisions of this
Agreement shall be by telephone or in writing (including telex or facsimile
communication) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereunder and shall be
delivered or sent by telex or facsimile to the respective parties at the
addresses and numbers set forth under their respective names on Schedule 1.1(B)
hereof or in accordance with any subsequent unrevoked written direction from any
party to the others. All notices shall, except as otherwise expressly herein
provided, be effective (a) in the case of telex or facsimile, when received, (b)
in the case of hand-delivered notice, when hand-delivered, (c) in the case of
telephone, when telephoned, provided, however, that in order to be effective,
telephonic notices must be confirmed in writing no later than the next day by
letter, facsimile or telex, (d) if given by mail, four (4) days after such
communication is deposited in the mail with first-class postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, and (e) if given by any other means (including by air
courier), when delivered; provided, that notices to the Agent shall not be
effective until received. Any Bank giving any notice to any Loan Party shall
simultaneously send a copy thereof to the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly
notify the other Banks of the receipt by it of any such notice.
10.7 Severability.
The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If
any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole
or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in
any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other
jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.
135
10.8 Governing Law.
Each Letter of Credit and Section 2.7 [Letter of Credit
Subfacility] shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for

Commonwealth of Kentucky without regard to its conflict of laws principles and
the balance of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of
the Commonwealth of Kentucky and for all purposes shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth
of Kentucky without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

including any prior confidentiality agreements and commitments.
10.10 Duration; Survival.
All representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained
herein or made in connection herewith shall survive the making of Loans and

10.11 Successors and Assigns.
(i) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
Banks, the Agent, the Loan Parties and their respective successors and assigns,
except that none of the Loan Parties may assign or transfer any of its rights
and Obligations hereunder or any interest herein. Each Bank may, at its own
cost, make assignments of or sell participations in all or any part of its
Commitments and the Loans made by it to one or more banks or other entities,
subject to the consent of the Borrower and the Agent with respect to any
136
assignee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, provided that (1) no
consent of the Borrower shall be required (A) if an Event of Default exists and
is continuing, or (B) in the case of an assignment by a Bank to an Affiliate of
such Bank, and (2) any assignment by a Bank to a Person other than an Affiliate
of such Bank may not be made in amounts less than the lesser of $5,000,000 or
the amount of the assigning Bank's Commitment. In the case of an assignment,
upon receipt by the Agent of the fully executed Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless
otherwise provided therein), the same rights, benefits and obligations as it
would have if it had been a signatory Bank hereunder, the Commitments shall be
adjusted accordingly, and upon surrender of any Note subject to such assignment,
the Borrower shall execute and deliver a new Note to the assignee in an amount
equal to the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by it and a new
Revolving Credit Note to the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the Revolving
Credit Commitment retained by it hereunder. Any Bank which assigns any or all of
its Commitment or Loans to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Bank shall
pay to the Agent a service fee in the amount of $3,500 for each assignment. In
the case of a participation, the participant shall only have the rights
specified in Section 8.2.3 [Set-off] (the participant's rights against such Bank
in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed
by such Bank in favor of the participant relating thereto and not to include any
voting rights except with respect to changes of the type referenced in Sections
10.1.1 [Increase of Commitment, Etc.], 10.1.2 [Extension of Payment, Etc.], or
10.1.3 [Release of Collateral or Guarantor]), all of such Bank's obligations
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall remain unchanged, and all
amounts payable by any Loan Party hereunder or thereunder shall be determined as
if such Bank had not sold such participation.
(ii) Any assignee or participant which is not
incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent the form of certificate described
in Section 10.17 [Tax Withholding Clause] relating to federal income tax
withholding. Each Bank may furnish any publicly available information concerning
any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries and any other information concerning any Loan
Party or its Subsidiaries in the possession of such Bank from time to time
to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees or participants),
provided that such assignees and participants agree to be bound by the
provisions of Section 10.12 [Confidentiality].
(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement, any Bank may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, its Note and the other
Loan Documents to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation
A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR Section 203.14 without notice
to or consent of the Borrower or the Agent. No such pledge or grant of a
security interest shall release the transferor Bank of its obligations hereunder
or under any other Loan Document.

information delivered to such Bank by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries

being understood that any such Subsidiary or affiliate of any Bank receiving

number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered,
shall be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one

and to condition its consent upon the giving of additional collateral, the
payment of money or any other matter.
10.15 Exceptions.
The representations, warranties and covenants contained herein
shall be independent of each other, and no exception to any representation,

any United States federal income taxes or is subject to such tax at a reduced

respect to Revolving Credit Loans existing on such date, the Borrower shall be
141
