- ----- See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 3 Hollywood Park, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES GENERAL Hollywood Park, Inc. (the "Company" or "Hollywood Park") is a diversified gaming, sports and entertainment company engaged in the ownership and operation of casinos (including card club casinos), pari-mutuel racing facilities, and the development of other gaming and sports related opportunities. Hollywood Park owns and operates, through its Boomtown, Inc. ("Boomtown") subsidiary, land-based, riverboat and dockside gaming operations in Verdi, Nevada ("Boomtown Reno"), Harvey, Louisiana ("Boomtown New Orleans") and Biloxi, Mississippi ("Boomtown Biloxi"), respectively. Hollywood Park also owns two card club casinos, located in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The Hollywood Park-Casino is operated by the Company, and is located on the same property as the Hollywood Park Race Track. The Company also owns the Crystal Park Hotel and Casino (the "Crystal Park Casino"), which is leased to an unaffiliated operator. Presently, Hollywood Park is the only company that owns and operates both California card club casinos and traditional casinos in Nevada, Louisiana and Mississippi. The Company's premier thoroughbred racing facilities include, the Hollywood Park Race Track, which the Company has owned for 60 years, and Turf Paradise, Inc. ("Turf Paradise"), located in Phoenix, Arizona. On February 19, 1998, Hollywood Park and Casino Magic Corp. ("Casino Magic") approved and signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger among Casino Magic, Hollywood Park and HP Acquisition II, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Hollywood Park). Hollywood Park will pay cash of $2.27 for each issued and outstanding share of Casino Magic common stock, or approximately $81,000,000. (See "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.") The financial information included herein has been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as reflected in Hollywood Park's consolidated Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1997. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include certain footnotes and financial presentations normally presented annually and should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The information furnished herein is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management it reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of the financial results for the interim periods. It should be understood that accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end. The interim racing results of operations are not indicative of the results for the full year, due to the seasonality of the Company's horse racing business. CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements presented herein, included the accounts of Hollywood Park and its wholly owned subsidiaries: (a) Boomtown, which was acquired by the Company on June 30, 1997, with the acquisition accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for a business combination, and Boomtown's six active subsidiaries; (1) Boomtown Hotel & Casino, Inc., (2) Bayview Yacht Club, Inc., (3) Mississippi - I Gaming, L.P., (4) Louisiana Gaming Enterprises, Inc., (5) Louisiana - I Gaming, and (6) Boomtown Hoosier, Inc.; (b) Hollywood Park Operating Company and its two wholly owned subsidiaries, Hollywood Park Food Services, Inc. and Hollywood Park Fall Operating Company; (c) Turf Paradise, Inc.; (d) HP Yakama, Inc.; and (e) HP/Compton, Inc. and HP Casino, Inc., which own 89.8% and 10.2%, respectively, of the Crystal Park Hotel and Casino Development Company LLC ("Crystal Park LLC"). The Hollywood Park-Casino is a division of Hollywood Park, Inc. RESTRICTED CASH Restricted cash as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, was for amounts due to horsemen for purses, stakes and awards. 4 CAPITALIZED INTEREST During the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company capitalized interest related to construction projects of approximately $281,000 and $507,000, respectively. The Company did not capitalize interest during the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, ("SFAS 130") Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires that the Company disclose --------- -------------------- comprehensive income and its components. The objective of SFAS 130 is to report a measure of all changes in equity of an enterprise that result from transactions and other economic events of the period other than transactions with owners. Comprehensive income is the sum of the following; net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), which is defined as all other nonowner changes in equity. The Company has recorded unrealized gain (loss) on securities as other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying financial statements. Comprehensive income was computed as follows:
For the three months ended June 30, ----------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 --------------------- --------------------- (in thousands, unaudited) Net income $8,129 $5,603 Other comprehensive income (loss): Unrealized gain on securities 8 43 Less reclassification adjustment for realized (gain) loss 0 0 --------------------- --------------------- Comprehensive income $8,137 $5,646 ===================== ===================== For the six months ended June 30, ----------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 --------------------- --------------------- (in thousands, unaudited) Net income $6,895 $4,708 Other comprehensive income (loss): Unrealized gain (loss) on securities 83 (7) Less reclassification adjustment for realized (gain) loss 0 1 --------------------- ---------------------- Comprehensive income $6,978 $4,702 ===================== =====================
ESTIMATES Financial statements prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles require the use of management estimates, including estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of property, plant and equipment, to determine the fair value of financial instruments, to account for the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and to determine litigation related obligations. Actual results could differ from these estimates. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF Whenever there are recognized events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, management reviews the asset for possible impairment. In accordance with current accounting standards, management uses estimated expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and excluding interest costs, and grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are as independent as possible of other asset groups) to measure the recoverability of the asset. If the expected future net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss would be recognized. An impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeded the fair value of the asset, with fair value measured as the amount at which the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies to a considerable extent on assumptions regarding current and future net cash flows, market conditions, and the availability of capital. If, in future 5 periods, there are changes in the estimates or assumptions incorporated into the impairment review analysis, the changes could result in an adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset, but at no time would previously recognized impairment losses be restored. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share were computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders (net income less preferred dividend requirements) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per share amounts were similarly computed, but include the effect, when dilutive, of the conversion of the convertible preferred shares (which is applicable to the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, only), and exercise of stock options. REDEMPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES As of August 28, 1997, the Company's 2,749,900 outstanding depositary shares were converted into 2,291,492 shares of the Company's common stock, thereby, eliminating the annual preferred stock cash dividend payment of approximately $1,925,000 in future periods. CASH FLOWS Cash and cash equivalents included certificates of deposit and short term investments with maturities of 90 days or less. RACING REVENUES AND EXPENSES The Company records pari-mutuel revenues, admissions, food and beverage and other income associated with racing on a daily basis, except for seasonal admissions, which are recorded ratably over the racing season. Expenses associated with racing revenues were charged against income in those periods in which racing revenues were recognized. GAMING REVENUE AND PROMOTIONAL ALLOWANCES Gaming revenues at the Boomtown properties consisted of the difference between gaming wins and losses, or net win from gaming activity, and at the Hollywood Park-Casino consisted of fees collected from patrons on a per seat or per hand basis. Revenues in the accompanying statements of operations excluded the retail value of food and beverage provided to players on a complimentary basis. The estimated cost of providing these promotional allowances during the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, was $3,571,000 and $339,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, was $7,477,000 and $665,000, respectively. (The amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, are exclusive of the costs associated with Boomtown's operations.) RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 balances to be consistent with the 1998 financial statement presentation. NOTE 2 -- ACQUISITION OF BOOMTOWN, INC. On June 30, 1997, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 23, 1996, by and among Hollywood Park, HP Acquisition, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Boomtown, HP Acquisition, Inc. was merged with and into Boomtown (the " Boomtown Merger"). As a result of the Boomtown Merger, Boomtown became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and each share of Boomtown common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.625 of a share of Hollywood Park's common stock. Approximately 5,362,850 shares of Hollywood Park common stock, valued at $9.8125 per share (excluding shares repurchased from Edward P. Roski, Jr. ("Roski") and subsequently retired) were issued in the Boomtown Merger. The Boomtown Merger was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for a business combination. The purchase price of the Boomtown Merger was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Based on financial analyses which considered the impact of general economic, financial and market conditions on the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, it was determined that the estimated fair values approximated their carrying value. The Boomtown Merger generated approximately $21,136,000 of excess acquisition cost over the recorded value of the net assets acquired, all of which was allocated to goodwill, to be amortized over 40 years. The amortization of the goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. As of June 30, 1997, the 6 excess acquisition cost over the recorded value of the assets was estimated at approximately $2,683,000. As of June 30, 1998, the Company revised its initial estimates of the excess acquisition cost over the recorded value to $21,136,000, due primarily to a reduction in the valuation of certain gaming fixed assets and provisions for additional liabilities. The Company acquired three of the four Boomtown properties; Boomtown Reno, Boomtown New Orleans, and Boomtown Biloxi. In connection with the Boomtown Merger, Boomtown's Las Vegas property was divested on July 1, 1997, due to this property having generated significant operating losses. NOTE 3 -- SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS As of June 30, 1998, short term investments consisted of investments in equity securities. These investments are recorded at fair value in the accompanying financial statements, as determined by the quoted market price, and are classified as available-for-sale. As of June 30, 1998, the Company recorded an unrealized gain on these investments of approximately $83,000. Included in the portfolio of equity securities were 653,900 shares of Casino Magic common stock, for which the Company paid $2.00 per common share, or a total cost of $1,328,249 (inclusive of commissions). As of August 6, 1998, the Company purchased an additional 139,000 shares of Casino Magic common stock, at a cost of $2.03125 per common share, or a total additional cost of $286,702 (inclusive of commissions). NOTE 4 -- PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment held as of June 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997, consisted of the following:
June 30, December 31, 1998 1997 --------------------- --------------------- (unaudited) (in thousands) Land and land improvements $ 51,679 $ 50,945 Buildings and building improvements 273,752 270,271 Equipment 83,655 77,337 Vessels 16,690 18,925 Construction in progress 19,125 21,896 --------------------- --------------------- 444,901 439,374 Less accumulated depreciation 145,449 138,708 --------------------- --------------------- $299,452 $300,666 ===================== =====================

7 SECURED NOTES PAYABLE, BANK CREDIT FACILITY On June 30, 1997, the Company entered into a five year Bank Credit Facility with a bank syndicate led by Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association. As of June 30, 1998, due to covenant limitations, approximately $87,280,000 of the total current $100,000,000 Bank Credit Facility was available, of which $30,000,000 was outstanding, at an interest rate of 7.88%. The Bank Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of Hollywood Park and its significant subsidiaries, and imposes certain customary affirmative and negative covenants. UNSECURED 9.5% NOTES On August 6, 1997, Hollywood Park, Inc. and Hollywood Park Operating Company, co-issued $125,000,000 of Series A 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "Series A Notes"). On March 20, 1998, the Company completed a registered exchange offer for the Series A Notes, pursuant to which all $125,000,000 principal amount of the Series A Notes were exchanged by the holders for $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Series B 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, of the Company and Hollywood Park Operating Company (the "Series B Notes") and, together with the Series A Notes, (the "Notes") were registered under the Securities Act on Form S-4. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually, on February 1st and August 1st. The Company paid Liquidated Damages at an annual rate of 0.5% of the principal amount of the Notes for the period January 27, 1998 to March 20,1998 (the date of consummation of the exchange offer). The Notes are redeemable, at the option of Hollywood Park and Hollywood Park Operating Company, in whole or in part, on or after August 1, 2002, at a premium to face amount, plus accrued interest, as follows: (a) August 1, 2002 at 104.75%; (b) August 1, 2003 at 102.375%; (c) August 1, 2004 at 101.188%; and (d) August 1, 2005 and thereafter at 100%. The Notes are unsecured obligations of Hollywood Park and Hollywood Park Operating Company, guaranteed by all other material restricted subsidiaries of either Hollywood Park or Hollywood Park Operating Company. The indenture governing the Notes (the "Indenture") contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of Hollywood Park, Hollywood Park Operating Company and their restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, pay dividends or make other distributions, repurchase equity interests or subordinated indebtedness, create certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, sell assets, issue or sell equity interests in their respective subsidiaries or enter into certain mergers and consolidations.

- --------- See accompanying notes to financial statements. 15 Mississippi - I Gaming, L.P. Notes to Financial Statements NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES GENERAL Mississippi - I Gaming, L.P. (the "Mississippi Partnership"), is a Mississippi limited partnership, which is majority owned and controlled by Hollywood Park, Inc. ("Hollywood Park"), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Boomtown, Inc. ("Boomtown") and Bayview Yacht Club, Inc., which own 80% and 5%, respectively, of the Mississippi Partnership, with the remaining 15% owned by Eric Skrmetta ("Skrmetta"). The Mississippi Partnership owns and operates a casino ("Boomtown Biloxi"), which opened in July 1994. Boomtown Biloxi occupies nineteen acres on Biloxi Mississippi's historic Back Bay. The Mississippi Gulf Coast is marketed as the "Playground of the South" and has been a major tourist destination, even prior to the advent of full casino gaming in 1992. The Mississippi Gulf Coast comprises a land area of nearly 1,800 square miles, with more than 30 miles of white sand beaches fronting the Gulf of Mexico. Recent statistics indicated that on an annual basis approximately 22 million patrons visited the Gulf Coast casinos, of which 64% were drawn to the Mississippi Gulf Coast from outside the state. Boomtown Biloxi operates an "old west" themed 33,632 square foot casino, which sits on a permanently moored 400 x 110 foot barge. Boomtown Biloxi offers 1,038 slot machines and 35 table games. The land-based facility houses all non- gaming activities, including restaurants, buffets, a family video fun center and gift shops. On August 13, 1997, Hollywood Park exercised its option under the Mississippi Partnership Agreement to exchange Skrmetta's interest in the Mississippi Partnership, at Skrmetta's option, for either cash and/or shares of Hollywood Park common stock with an aggregate value equal to the value of Skrmetta's 15% interest in the Mississippi Partnership, with such value determined by a formula set forth in the relevant Mississippi Partnership Agreement. Hollywood Park supplied Skrmetta with its calculation of the value of his 15% Mississippi Partnership interest, and Skrmetta did not agree with the valuation. Hollywood Park has initiated arbitration proceedings to settle the valuation issue. The financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The information furnished herein is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, it reflects all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary to present a fair presentation of the financial results for this interim period. It should be understood that accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include certain footnotes and financial presentations normally presented annually and should be read in conjunction with the Mississippi Partnership's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Historically, the Mississippi Partnership reported financial results with a year end of September 30. Subsequent to Hollywood Park's June 30, 1997 acquisition of Boomtown, the Mississippi Partnership reports results on a calendar year end of December 31. ESTIMATES Financial statements prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles require the use of management estimates, including estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of real estate and leasehold interests held for investment. These estimates are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by management. GAMING REVENUES AND PROMOTIONAL ALLOWANCES In accordance with industry practices, the Mississippi Partnership recognized gaming revenues, as the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses. Revenues in the accompanying statements of operations excluded the retail value of food, beverage and other promotional allowances which were provided to patrons without 16 charge. The estimated cost of providing such promotional allowances which were reported as gaming expenses, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, was $1,097,000 and $2,428,000, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, was $944,000 and $2,027,000, respectively. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF Whenever there are recognized events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, management reviews the asset for possible impairment. In accordance with current accounting standards, management uses estimated expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and excluding interest costs, and grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are as independent as possible of other asset groups) to measure the recoverability of the asset. If the expected future net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset an impairment loss would be recognized. An impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeded the fair value of the asset, with fair value measured as the amount at which the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies to a considerable extent on assumptions regarding current and future net cash flows, market conditions, and the availability of capital. If, in future periods, there are changes in the estimates or assumptions incorporated into the impairment review analysis the changes could result in an adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset, but at no time would previously recognized impairment losses be restored. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 balances to be consistent with the 1998 financial statement presentation.

These amounts primarily related to funds invested by Boomtown for the initial construction of the property, and the net of subsequent cash transfers to Boomtown from the Mississippi Partnership, and from Boomtown to the Mississippi Partnership. Interest on the note payable to Boomtown was 11.0% and 11.5%, as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. NOTE 5 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES DEBT GUARANTEES On August 6, 1997, Hollywood Park and Hollywood Park Operating Company (a wholly owned subsidiary of Hollywood Park), as co-obligors, issued $125,000,000 of Series A 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, which on March 20, 1998, were exchanged for a like principal amount of 9.5% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes (collectively the "Notes"). The Notes are fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of Hollywood Park's material subsidiaries, including Mississippi - I Gaming, L.P. This Quarterly Report is being filed pursuant to the Indenture governing the Notes as a guarantor which is not wholly owned by the issuers of the Notes. In June 1997, Boomtown repurchased and retired an aggregate of approximately $102,700,000 in principal amount of Boomtown's 11.5% First Mortgage Notes (the "Boomtown Notes"). The remaining balance of $1,253,000 was fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Mississippi - I Gaming, L.P. As permitted in the Indenture (the "Boomtown Indenture") governing the Boomtown Notes, in June 1998, Boomtown elected to satisfy and discharge its obligation regarding the Boomtown Notes. As of June 9, 1998, Boomtown has satisfied all conditions required to discharge its obligations under the Boomtown Indenture. LEASES WITH RELATED PARTIES The Mississippi Partnership leases land from Skrmetta for use by Boomtown Biloxi. The lease term is 99 years and is cancelable upon one year's notice. The lease called for an initial 18 deposit by the Mississippi Partnership of $2,000,000, for annual base lease rent payments of $2,000,000 and percentage rent equal to 5.0% of adjusted gaming win (as defined in the lease) over $25,000,000. Skrmetta agreed to provide the land, free of annual base rent, for two years in exchange for a 15% interest in the Mississippi Partnership. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, the Mississippi Partnership paid Skrmetta $811,000 and $1,609,000 of rent, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, paid $751,000 and $1,508,000 of rent, respectively. BARGE LEASE On August 4, 1997, Hollywood Park executed an agreement to purchase the barge that Boomtown Biloxi sits upon and the associated building shell for $5,250,000. The Mississippi Partnership had been leasing these assets. The Mississippi Partnership made a down payment of $1,500,000 upon signing the agreement, with the balance payable in three equal annual installments of $1,250,000 with interest set at the prime rate as of the first day of each year. TIDELANDS LEASE The Mississippi Partnership leases 5.1 acres of submerged tidelands at the Boomtown Biloxi site from the State of Mississippi. The lease has a ten year term, (entered into in 1994) with a five year option to renew. Lease rent for each of the first three years of the lease was $525,000, and will be $425,000 for the next two years. Rent for the balance of the lease term will be determined in accordance with Mississippi law, based on an appraisal the State of Mississippi will obtain. OTHER The Mississippi Gaming Commission requires (as a condition of licensing or license renewal) gaming companies to make a one time capital investment in facilities for general public use, such as restaurants and other non-gaming facilities, equal to 25% of the initial casino construction and gaming equipment costs. On October 26, 1997, the Mississippi Partnership received verbal notification that its current land-based facility satisfies the Mississippi Commission's requirement. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OF OPERATIONS - ------------- Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters addressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the Company's management. Factors that may cause actual performance of Hollywood Park to differ materially from that contemplated by such forward- looking statements include, among others, the failure to finance or complete or successfully operate planned improvements and expansions, including the Casino Magic Merger (and, if the Casino Magic Merger is consummated, the ability to meet the combined company's debt service obligations or to improve Casino Magic's financial condition), the passage of adverse gaming-related legislation in any of the Company's gaming jurisdictions (including, if passed the proposed legislation in Mississippi described below) and a saturation of or other adverse changes in gaming markets in which Hollywood Park operates (particularly in the southeastern United States). The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") provides certain "safe harbor" provisions for forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made pursuant to the Act. For more information on the potential factors which could affect the Company's financial results, please review the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 1997. PENDING MERGER WITH CASINO MAGIC CORP. On February 19, 1998, Hollywood Park and Casino Magic Corp. approved and signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger among Casino Magic Corp., Hollywood Park, Inc., and HP Acquisition II, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Hollywood Park) (the "Casino Magic Merger"), pursuant to which HP Acquisition II, Inc., will merge into Casino Magic, with Casino Magic surviving and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Hollywood Park. Hollywood Park will pay cash of $2.27 for each issued and outstanding share of Casino Magic common stock, or an aggregate of approximately $81,000,000. During the second quarter of 1998 Hollywood Park purchased 653,900 shares of Casino Magic 19 common stock, for which it paid $2.00 per common share, or a total cost of $1,328,249 (inclusive of commissions). As of August 6, 1998, the Company purchased an additional 139,000 shares of Casino Magic common stock, at a cost of $2.03125 per common share, or a total additional cost of $286,702 (inclusive of commissions). The consummation of the Casino Magic Merger requires, among other things, the approval of the Casino Magic shareholders, approval of the appropriate gaming authorities in Mississippi and Louisiana, and an amendment to the Company's present Bank Credit Facility to provide for the funds required to consummate the Casino Magic Merger. Casino Magic's shareholder meeting to vote on the Casino Magic Merger is scheduled for September 9, 1998. The Mississippi gaming authorities have approved the Casino Magic Merger subject to approval by the Casino Magic shareholders. The Company expects to present the Casino Magic Merger to the Louisiana gaming authorities in August 1998. The Company has executed commitment letters with Bank of America and members of the bank syndicate for an Amended and Restated Reducing Revolving Loan Agreement (the "Amended Bank Credit Facility") which would, among other things, increase the amount available for the Company to borrow up to $300,000,000, reduce interest and commitment fee rates, and amend certain covenants. Final execution of the Amended Bank Credit Facility is contingent upon, among other items, completion of the Casino Magic Merger and redemption of certain Casino Magic debt obligations. On February 23, 1998, Hollywood Park entered into a voting agreement (the "Voting Agreement") with Marlin F. Torguson ("Mr. Torguson") pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Torguson has agreed to vote the 7,954,500 shares, or approximately 22%, of Casino Magic common stock he beneficially owns in favor of approval and adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and the Casino Magic Merger, along with any matter that could reasonably be expected to facilitate the Casino Magic Merger. Mr. Torguson also agreed to continue to serve as an employee of Casino Magic for three years following the Casino Magic Merger, and not to compete with Hollywood Park or Casino Magic in any jurisdictions in which either presently operates. Casino Magic owns and operates dockside and riverboat gaming properties in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi ("Casino Magic Bay St. Louis"), Biloxi, Mississippi ("Casino Magic Biloxi") and Bossier City, Louisiana ("Casino Magic Bossier"), respectively, and is a 51% partner in two land-based casinos in Argentina. Casino Magic Bay St. Louis began operations in September 1992 on a permanently moored barge in a 17 acre marina with the adjoining land based facilities situated on 591 acres. Bay St. Louis is approximately 46 miles east of New Orleans and 40 miles west of Biloxi. Casino Magic Bay St. Louis offers approximately 39,500 square feet of gaming space, with 1,132 slot machines and 42 table games. The land based building is three stories with a restaurant, buffet, snack bar, gift shop and live entertainment lounge. In December 1994, Casino Magic Bay St. Louis also opened the Casino Magic Inn; a 201 room hotel, including four deluxe and 20 junior suites. The property also contains the Magic Dome, an 1,800 seat arena, which hosts approximately 50 events annually, including nationally televised boxing matches, concerts and other special events. With the late 1997 addition of the 18 hole Bridges Golf Resort, Casino Magic Bay St. Louis is positioned as a full service vacation destination. Casino Magic Biloxi began casino operations in June 1993 and is located on the Gulf of Mexico in the Mississippi Gulf Coast Region. The property is situated on the Front Bay on the beach of the Gulf of Mexico in a strip with four other casinos, and is located on the major highway running through the Mississippi Gulf Coast. (Whereas, Boomtown Biloxi is located on the Back Bay of Biloxi.) Casino Magic Biloxi conducts gaming from a permanently moored barge with approximately 47,700 square feet of gaming space with 1,174 slot machines and 41 gaming tables. The land based facility is located adjacent to the barge on the approximately 11.5 acre site. On May 1, 1998, Casino Magic Biloxi opened its 378 room luxury hotel, which includes 16 master suites, 70 junior suites, 6,600 square feet of convention and meeting space, a full service restaurant and retail shops. Casino Magic Biloxi's land based facility is approximately 21,600 square feet and offers buffets, full service restaurants and nationally franchised fast food services. 20 Casino Magic Bossier opened in October 1996, with casino operations conducted from a dockside riverboat. The property is highly visible with convenient access from Interstate Highway 20, a major thoroughfare between Bossier City/Shreveport and the Dallas-Fort Worth area approximately 180 miles to the west. The Casino Magic Bossier riverboat measures 254 feet long and 78 feet wide with approximately 30,000 square feet of gaming space, and offers 980 slot machines and 44 table games. The Casino Magic Bossier facility includes a 55,000 square foot entertainment pavilion connected to a garage providing parking for approximately 1,400 vehicles. The entertainment pavilion includes the 350 seat Abracadabra buffet restaurant, a gift shop, a bar and lounge area, and a 300 seat live entertainment theater. The entertainment pavilion also includes two smaller full service restaurants. Casino Magic Bossier is just beginning construction on a 188 room hotel with four master suites, 88 junior suites and additional full service restaurants. The hotel addition is expected to be completed in early 1999. In December 1994, Casino Magic, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Casino Magic Neuquen SA ("Casino Magic Argentina"), entered into a twelve year concession agreement with the Province of Neuquen, Argentina. Casino Magic Argentina operates two casinos in the Province of Neuquen in the cities of Neuquen and San Martin de los Andes in west-central Argentina. Neuquen Province is the gateway to the well established tour destinations and ski resorts of the Andes Mountains. There are approximately 900,000 residents within a 50 mile radius of the two cities. Casino Magic Argentina, which began operations in January 1995, includes approximately 29,000 square feet of gaming space and contains approximately 64 table games, 400 slot machines and a 384 seat bingo facility. LEGENDS CASINO -- YAKAMA EXPANSION Legends Casino opened on May 15, 1998, featuring a 600 seat bingo hall, electronic pull tabs, and table games including: Blackjack, Poker, Craps, Roulette, Mini-bac, Caribbean Stud. Games are played in the traditional Las Vegas style, with players betting against the house. (Legends Casino does not have slot machines.) Legends Casino is located in Toppenish, Washington, in a valley at the foot of Mt. Adams, a major vacation destination. Legends Casino is approximately 130 miles from both Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon. The nearest gaming facility is 157 miles away in Pendelton, Oregon. Hollywood Park, through its wholly owned subsidiary HP Yamaka, Inc. ("HP Yakama") loaned approximately $9,243,000 to the Yakama Tribal Gaming Corporation (the "Tribal Corporation") to construct the Legends Casino. The Tribal Corporation gave HP Yakama a promissory note for the $9,243,000, payable in 84 equal installments at a 10% rate of interest, with the first installment payable on July 1, 1998. The Tribal Corporation is current on amounts due under the promissory note. Pursuant to a seven year Master Lease between HP Yakama and the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Indian Nation (the "Tribes"), HP Yakama must pay the Tribes monthly rent of $1,000. HP Yakama and the Tribal Corporation entered into a corresponding seven year Sublease, under which the Tribal Corporation owes rent to HP Yakama. Rent under the Sublease is initially set at 28% of Net Revenues (as defined in the relevant agreement), and decreases to 22% over the seven year Sublease term. HP Yakama, under the terms of a Profit Participation Agreement with North American Sports Management ("NORAM") (who entered into the initial agreements with the Tribal Corporation and the Tribes) is required to pay NORAM 22% of the actual rent received from the Tribal Corporation under the Sublease. BOOMTOWN NEW ORLEANS EXPANSION On July 1, 1998, Boomtown New Orleans opened its $10,000,000 land based expansion, The Great Escape. The Great Escape is a premier, adult oriented, dining and entertainment complex. The 160 seat "Old World" casual dining restaurant features an open display kitchen with a varied and enticing menu. The Great Escape features a state-of-the-art arcade style amusement center including, among numerous other games, a 3-D giant screen thrill ride; virtual reality rides; the very popular golf simulators; and a billiard center. There are also new banquet facilities for parties of up to 500 people. The Great Escape is located on the second floor of the land based facility and provides a second story entrance to the gaming floors of Boomtown New Orleans' new larger and resplendent riverboat. 21 BOOMTOWN BILOXI On June 18, 1998, the Mississippi Gaming Commission renewed Boomtown Biloxi's gaming operator's license for another two years. MISSISSIPPI ANTI-GAMING INITIATIVE In June 1998, a ballot measure to ban casino gaming in Mississippi was filed with the state's attorney general. If the ballot measure is approved, it could require Mississippi casinos to shut down within two years, and remain closed for at least four years. The anti-gaming coalition has until October 7, 1998, to collect the 98,000 signatures needed to place the measure on the November 1999 ballot. The Mississippi Gaming Association and other pro-gaming groups filed suit to revise the initiative or have it completely voided. On July 24, 1998, a Judge ruled in favor of the Mississippi Gaming Association's suit, which in effect declared the proposed initiative null and void, due to the failure to disclose the economic impact of closing down Mississippi gaming. It is likely that a revised initiative will be filed which will address the economic impact, and the attempt to ban Mississippi gaming will continue. It is too soon in the process to predict the outcome of this situation. PROPOSED INDIANA PROJECT The Company has an application pending for the remaining riverboat gaming license to be awarded for operations on the Ohio River in Indiana. The application was filed under a joint venture between the Company and Hilton Gaming Corporation ("Hilton"). On May 6, 1998, Hollywood Park and Hilton agreed that the Company would acquire Hilton's interest in the joint venture, and Hilton withdrew as an applicant for the remaining Indiana gaming license. If the Company is awarded the Indiana gaming license, then the Company will pay Hilton approximately $750,000 in exchange for Hilton's interest, and plans to own and operate the project on its own. On May 6, 1998, the Indiana Gaming Commission (the "Commission") met and decided that it would grant the remaining Indiana gaming license on September 14, 1998. There can be no assurance that the Commission will grant the gaming license or that it will be granted to Hollywood Park, or if granted the gaming license, that the Company will receive all other required approvals and environmental permits necessary to proceed with this project. TURF PARADISE The Company has entered into an agreement to sell 12 acres of land at its Phoenix, Arizona based Turf Paradise racing facility, for approximately $4,574,000. The purchaser (a national retailer) intends to construct a major retail outlet at the site. The sale is expected to be completed no later than first quarter 1999. HOLLYWOOD PARK GOLF CENTER Due to potential lawsuits from nearby home owners, in July 1998 the Company closed the Hollywood Park Golf Center. The loss on the write off of the Hollywood Park Golf Center assets, to be recorded in third quarter 1998, will be approximately $1,126,000. CRYSTAL PARK HOTEL AND CASINO As of July 1, 1998, rent was scheduled to increase to $350,000 per month, but instead, the Company agreed to accept rent of $150,000 per month through January 1999, at which time the rent is presently scheduled to increase to $350,000. YEAR 2000 ISSUE The Company has assessed the impact of the year 2000 issue on its reporting systems and operations. The year 2000 issue exists because computer systems and applications were historically designed to use two digit fields to designate a year, and date sensitive systems may not properly recognize 2000. Hollywood Park believes that its financial accounting software will require limited changes to overcome the year 2000 issue, and any changes are not expected to require material expenditures. Based on the nature of Hollywood Park's business, it is not expected that any non-financial software applications that may be impacted by the year 2000 issue would cause any interruption in operations. The Company expects to complete any changes required to overcome the year 2000 issue during 1998. The Company currently estimates that the costs associated with the year 2000 issue, and the consequences of incomplete or untimely resolution of the year 2000 issue, will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company in any given year. Even if the internal systems of the Company are not materially affected by the year 2000 issue, the Company could be affected through disruption in the operation of the outside entities with which the Company interacts. The Company relies, directly and indirectly, on external systems of business enterprises such as customers, suppliers and creditors, financial organizations and governmental entities for accurate exchange of data. The Company is in the process of determining whether those enterprises that have significant business relationships with the Company are taking adequate measures to address the year 2000 issue. 22 SUNFLOWER RACING, INC. Sunflower Racing, Inc. ("Sunflower") owns the Woodlands Race Track located in Kansas City, Kansas. On May 17, 1996, Sunflower filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On March 31, 1996, Hollywood Park recorded a non-cash write off of its approximately $11,412,000 investment in Sunflower. In April 1998, the court rejected Sunflower's plan of reorganization. On June 4, 1998, the bankruptcy judge in Sunflower's bankruptcy case converted the case from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7 and appointed a trustee to administer the assets of Sunflower. Sunflower is presently operating under the supervision of the trustee. The trustee is moving ahead with plans to sell Sunflower's assets later this year. Sunflower has appealed the conversion orders as well as the order appointing a trustee, and the earlier rejection. The appeals are still pending. REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST/PAIRED-SHARE STRUCTURE The Company has no present intentions to pursue a Real Estate Investment Trust Structure. STOCK REPURCHASE On August 5, 1998, the Company announced its intention to repurchase and retire up to 20%, or approximately 5,256,000, shares of its currently issued and outstanding common stock on the open market or in negotiated transactions. As of August 10, 1998, the Company had repurchased 44,128 shares at a total cost of approximately $486,000. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Hollywood Park's June 30, 1997 acquisition of Boomtown was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for a business combination. As required under the purchase method of accounting, Boomtown's historical financial results were not consolidated with Hollywood Park's historical financial results, and therefore, the revenues and expenses vary significantly when comparing the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, to the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. Three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the three months ended June 30, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1997 ---- Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased by $56,801,000, or 122.6%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997, primarily due to the inclusion of approximately $58,239,000 of Boomtown revenues in 1998, with no corresponding revenues recorded in 1997. Gaming revenues increased by $45,192,000, or 319.0%, due primarily to the inclusion of $47,344,000 of Boomtown related revenues, netted against gaming revenue declines at the Hollywood Park-Casino, due primarily to the implementation of a ban on indoor smoking and recent economic problems in various Asian countries (a significant portion of the Hollywood Park-Casino patrons are Asian). Racing revenues increased by $606,000, or 2.3%, due primarily to increased simulcasting of Hollywood Park Race Track's live races to other racing facilities. Food and beverage revenues increased by $4,001,000, or 93.2%, due to the inclusion of $3,969,000 of revenues generated at Boomtown properties, for which there were no corresponding revenues in the 1997 results. Hotel and recreational vehicle park and truck stop and service station revenues related to Boomtown Reno, with no corresponding revenues in the 1997 results. Other income increased by $2,830,000, or 173.8%, due primarily to the inclusion of $2,754,000 of other income generated at the three Boomtown properties, for which there were no corresponding revenues in 1997. Total operating expenses increased by $48,584,000, or 131.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997, primarily as a result of the inclusion of $49,281,000 of expenses related to Boomtown for which there are no corresponding expenses in the 1997 results of operations. Gaming expenses increased by $23,237,000, or 286.5%, due primarily to the inclusion of $24,630,000 of expenses related to Boomtown in the 1998 results and expense reductions of $1,393,000 at the Hollywood Park-Casino, a result of the gaming revenue declines as previously discussed. Food and beverage expenses increased by $4,933,000, or 96.9%, due primarily to the inclusion of $4,838,000 of expenses related to the three Boomtown properties, with no corresponding expenses recorded in 1997. Hotel 23 and recreational vehicle park and truck stop and service station expenses related to operations at Boomtown Reno with no similar costs in the 1997 results. Administrative expenses increased by $12,239,000, or 125.1%, of which $11,411,000 was related to the three Boomtown properties, with the balance of the increase primarily attributable to increased Hollywood Park corporate wages due to additional staffing in 1998. Other expenses increased by $1,159,000, or 170.4%, due primarily to the inclusion of $1,215,000 of expenses related to the three Boomtown properties. Depreciation and amortization increased by $3,463,000, or 114.3%, due primarily to the inclusion of $3,606,000 of expenses related to the three Boomtown properties. Interest expense increased by $3,990,000, due to interest on the Notes, which were issued in August 1997, and interest on borrowing from the Company's bank facilities (see "-Liquidity and Capital Resources" below). Income tax expense increased by $1,743,000 or 47.4%, due to the increase in pre-tax income in 1998 as compared to 1997. Six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1998, included the results of operations of Boomtown, which was acquired by the Company on June 30, 1997, and accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for a business combination. As required under the rules of purchase accounting, Boomtown's results of operations, prior to the acquisition, were not combined with those of Hollywood Park, and therefore, the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997, did not include Boomtown's results of operations, generating significant differences when comparing the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1998, to the six months ended June 30, 1997. Total revenues increased by $108,143,000, or 147.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997, due primarily to the inclusion of approximately $110,454,000 of revenues attributable to Boomtown. Gaming revenues increased by $87,859,000, or 327.3%, due primarily to the inclusion of $90,989,000 of gaming revenues attributable to Boomtown, netted against gaming revenue declines of approximately $2,230,000 at the Hollywood Park-Casino, primarily a result of a ban on indoor smoking and recent economic problems in various Asian countries (a significant portion of the Hollywood Park-Casino's patrons are Asian). Gaming revenues also declined by approximately $900,000 at the Crystal Park Casino. In 1997, the Crystal Park Casino was leased to an operator, who subsequently defaulted on the lease and the Company then leased the property to a new operator, and lowered the rent during the first year to allow the new operator time to grow the business. Racing revenues increased by $846,000, or 2.4%, due primarily to increased revenues generated by simulcasting Hollywood Park Race Track's live races to other racing facilities. Food and beverage revenues increased by $7,002,000, or 102.1%, due primarily to the inclusion of Boomtown revenues of $7,031,000 in 1998, with no corresponding revenues in the 1997 results. Hotel recreational vehicle park and truck stop and service station revenues related to Boomtown Reno, with no corresponding revenues in the 1997 results. Other income increased by $5,165,000, or 144.9%, due primarily to Boomtown revenues included in the 1998 results and no corresponding revenues in the 1997 results. Total operating expenses increased by $96,883,000, or 148.7%, during the six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997, due primarily to the inclusion of approximately $96,996,000 of Boomtown operating expenses, for which there are no corresponding amounts in the 1997 operating expenses. Gaming expenses increased by $48,155,000, or 317.6%, due primarily to the inclusion of Boomtown expenses of $49,855,000, netted against gaming expense declines at the Hollywood Park-Casino, a corresponding result of the decline in Hollywood Park-Casino's gaming revenues. Food and beverage expenses increased by $8,717,000, or 98.8%, due primarily to the inclusion of $8,593,000 of Boomtown expenses in 1998 with no corresponding revenues in 1997. Hotel and recreational vehicle park and truck stop and service station expenses related to operations at Boomtown Reno with no corresponding costs in the 1997 results of operations. Administrative expenses increased by $23,590,000, or 127.2%, due primarily to the inclusion of $22,829,000 of Boomtown expenses in the 1998 results, with the balance of the increase primarily due to increased expansion expenses at Hollywood Park. Other expenses increased by $2,136,000, or 148.4%, and included Boomtown costs of $2,280,000, for which there are no corresponding costs in the 24 1997 results. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $7,269,000, or 125.8%, of which $7,165,000 was attributable to the three Boomtown properties. Interest expense increased by $7,586,000, due to interest on the Notes and interest on bank borrowings (see "-Liquidity and Capital Resources" below). Income tax expense increased by $1,550,000, or 50%, due to the increased pre-tax income in 1998 as compared to 1997. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Hollywood Park's principal source of liquidity as of June 30, 1998, was cash and cash equivalents of $40,079,000. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $16,330,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1998. Net cash of $26,716,000 was provided by operating activities. The Hollywood Park Race Track operates its live race meet during the second quarter of each year, thus generating additional operating cash. Net cash of $37,796,000 was used in investing activities. Cash of $26,407,000 was used to purchase capital assets, including amounts spent for the Boomtown Reno and Boomtown New Orleans construction projects. Cash of $7,636,000 was lent in connection with the HP Yakama project. Cash was used for short term investing (including the purchase of Casino Magic common stock) and the Company also, through it's wholly owned subsidiary HP Casino, Inc. used cash of $1,946,000 to acquire the remaining minority interest in Crystal Park LLC. Net cash provided by financing activities was $27,410,000, which included short term borrowings of $30,000,000 under the Company's Bank Credit Facility. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $26,487,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1997. Net cash of $14,949,000 was provided by operating activities. Net cash of $11,846,000 was provided by investing activities, which included cash received in the Boomtown Merger and short term investment proceeds, netted against disbursements for normal and necessary capital improvements. Net cash used in financing activities was $308,000. HOLLYWOOD PARK On June 30, 1997, the Company entered into a five year Bank Credit Facility with a bank syndicate led by Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association ("Bank of America"). As of June 30, 1998, due to covenant limitations, approximately $87,280,000 of the total current $100,000,000 Bank Credit Facility was available, of which $30,000,000 was outstanding, at an interest rate of 7.88%. The Bank Credit Facility also provides for a letter of credit sub-facility of $10,000,000, and a swing line sub-facility of up to $10,000,000. On May 1, 1998, a $2,035,000 outstanding letter of credit expired and was not renewed. The Bank Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of Hollywood Park and its significant subsidiaries, and imposes certain customary affirmative and negative covenants. On February 19, 1998, Hollywood Park announced the execution of an agreement to consummate the Casino Magic Merger, and under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Hollywood Park will pay cash of $2.27 for each issued and outstanding share of Casino Magic common stock, or approximately $81,000,000. The Company has executed commitment letters with Bank of America and members of the bank syndicate for an Amended and Restated Reducing Revolving Loan Agreement (the "Amended Bank Credit Facility") which would, among other things, increase the amount available to borrow to $300,000,000, reduce the interest and commitment fee rates, and amend certain covenants. Final execution of the Amended Bank Credit Facility is contingent upon, among other items, completion of the Casino Magic Merger and redemption of certain Casino Magic debt obligations. The Bank Credit Facility has been amended three times, most recently on June 12, 1998. The first amendment, among other matters, reduced the availability of the facility until the Bank Credit Facility was approved by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board. Hollywood Park received this approval on July 10, 1997. The second amendment, among other things, allowed the co-issuance of the Notes by Hollywood Park Operating Company with Hollywood Park. The third amendment, among other things, modified certain covenants, allowing for increased capital expenditures and other investments. 25 Debt service requirements on the Bank Credit Facility consist of current interest payments on outstanding indebtedness through September 30, 1999. Beginning September 30, 1999, and on the last day of each third calendar month thereafter, through June 30, 2001, the Bank Credit Facility will decrease by 7.5% of the commitment in effect on September 30, 1999. Beginning September 30, 2001, and on the last day of each third calendar month thereafter, the Bank Credit Facility will decrease by 10% of the commitment in effect on September 30, 1999. Any principal amounts outstanding in excess of the Bank Credit Facility commitment, as so reduced, will be payable on such quarterly reduction dates. Borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate determined, at the election of Hollywood Park, by reference to the "Eurodollar Rate" (for interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months) or the "Reference Rate", as such terms are respectively defined in the Bank Credit Facility, plus margins which vary depending upon Hollywood Park's ratio of funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). The margins start at 1.25% for Eurodollar loans and at 0.25% for Base Rate loans, at a funded debt to EBITDA ratio of less than 1.50. Thereafter, the margin for each type of loan increases by 25 basis points for each increase in the ratio of funded debt to EBITDA of 50 basis points or more, up to 2.625% for Eurodollar loans and 1.625% for Base Rate loans. However, if the ratio of senior funded debt to EBITDA exceeds 2.50, the applicable margins will increase to 3.25% for Eurodollar loans, and 2.25% for Base Rate loans. Thereafter, the margins would increase by 25 basis points for each increase in the ratio of senior funded debt to EBITDA of 50 basis points or more, up to a maximum of 4.25% for Eurodollar loans and 3.25% for Base Rate loans. The applicable margins as of June 30, 1998, were 2.25% with respect to the Eurodollar Rate based interest rate and 1.25% with respect to the Base Rate interest rate. The Bank Credit Facility allows for interest rate swap agreements, or other interest rate protection agreements, up to a maximum notional amount of $125,000,000. Presently, Hollywood Park does not utilize such financial instruments. Hollywood Park pays a quarterly commitment fee for the average daily amount of unused portions of the Bank Credit Facility. The commitment fee is also dependent upon Hollywood Park's ratio of funded debt to EBITDA. The commitment fee for the Bank Credit Facility starts at 31.25 basis points when the ratio is less than 1.00, and increases by 6.25 basis points for each increase in the ratio of 0.50, up to a maximum of 50 basis points. For the quarter beginning April 1, 1998, the commitment fee was 50 basis points. On July 3, 1997, Hollywood Park borrowed $112,000,000 from the Bank Credit Facility to fund Boomtown's offer to purchase its 11.5% Boomtown First Mortgage Notes (the "Boomtown Notes"), and repaid this amount on August 7, 1997, with a portion of the proceeds from the August 6, 1997, issuance of $125,000,000 of Series A Notes due 2007. The Series A Notes were co-issued by Hollywood Park and Hollywood Park Operating Company, and were issued pursuant to a private offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The balance of the proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Notes was used primarily for the purchase of a new riverboat for Boomtown New Orleans, and other general corporate needs. On March 20, 1998, the Company completed a registered exchange offer for the Series A Notes, pursuant to which all $125,000,000 principal amount of the Series A Notes were exchanged by the holders for $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes of the Company and Hollywood Park Operating Company which were registered under the Securities Act on Form S-4. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually, on February 1st and August 1st. The Company has paid Liquidated Damages at an annual rate of 0.5% of the principal amount of the Notes for the period January 27, 1998 to March 20, 1998 (the date of consummation of the exchange offer). The Notes are redeemable, at the option of Hollywood Park and Hollywood Park Operating Company, in whole or in part, on or after August 1, 2002, at a premium to face amount, plus accrued interest, as follows: (a) August 1, 2002 at 104.75%; (b) August 1, 2003 at 102.375%; (c) August 1, 2004 at 101.188%; and (d) August 1, 2005 and thereafter at 100%. The Notes are unsecured obligations of Hollywood Park and Hollywood Park Operating Company, guaranteed by all other material restricted subsidiaries of either Hollywood Park or Hollywood Park Operating Company. 26 The indenture governing the Notes contains certain covenants that, among other things, limits the ability of Hollywood Park, Hollywood Park Operating Company and their restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, pay dividends or make other distributions, repurchase equity interests (the previously discussed stock repurchase falls within the parameters of the indenture) or subordinated indebtedness, create certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, sell assets, issue or sell equity interests in their respective subsidiaries or enter into certain mergers and consolidations. The Company believes that the consummation of the Casino Magic Merger, and the execution of the Amended Bank Credit Facility will be permitted under the terms of the Indenture provided that, among other things, Casino Magic redeems a portion of its long term indebtedness in a manner currently contemplated by the parties. Effective August 28, 1997, the Company's 2,749,900 outstanding depositary shares were converted into approximately 2,291,500 shares of its common stock, thereby eliminating the annual preferred cash dividend payment of approximately $1,925,000 in future periods. As of June 30, 1998, the Company has invested approximately $3,514,000 (inclusive of an unrealized gain of approximately $83,000) in equity securities (including Casino Magic common stock), which are presently being held as available-for-sale. BOOMTOWN In November 1993, Boomtown issued $103,500,000 of 11.5% First Mortgage Notes (the "Boomtown Notes"). On July 3, 1997, pursuant to a tender offer, Boomtown repurchased and retired approximately $102,142,000 in principal amount of the Boomtown Notes, at a purchase price of $1,085 per $1,000, along with accrued interest thereon. An additional $105,000 of the remaining Boomtown Notes were tendered in the post Boomtown Merger change of control purchase offer, at a price of $1,010 for each $1,000, completed August 12, 1997. As permitted in the indenture governing the Boomtown Notes (the "Boomtown Indenture"), in June 1998, Boomtown elected to satisfy and discharge its obligation regarding the remaining $1,253,000 of Boomtown Notes. As of June 9, 1998, Boomtown had satisfied all conditions required to discharge its obligations under the Boomtown Indenture. Total cost to redeem the Boomtown Notes was $1,378,000. As consideration for the sale of its Las Vegas property, Boomtown received two promissory notes receivable from Mr. Roski, the former lessor of Boomtown's Las Vegas property, totaling approximately $8,465,000. The first note is for $5,000,000, bearing interest at Bank of America's reference rate plus 1.5% per year, with annual principal payments of $1,000,000 plus accrued interest commencing on July 1, 1998. The second note is for approximately $3,465,000, bearing interest at Bank of America's reference rate plus 0.5% per year, with the principal and accrued interest payable, in full, on July 1, 2000. (Mr. Roski made the required July 1, 1998, principal and interest payment.) CAPITAL COMMITMENTS The Company has a capital commitment of approximately $81,000,000, with respect to the purchase of Casino Magic's common stock, in conjunction with the Casino Magic Merger, and as previously mentioned in connection with the Amended Bank Credit Facility, will require an additional $143,000,000 to redeem the 11.5% Casino Magic First Mortgage Notes. The Casino Magic Merger is expected to be completed in fourth quarter 1998, and the redemption of the 11.5% Casino Magic First Mortgage Notes to be completed as soon as practical thereafter. Expansion Costs In addition to the capital commitments as discussed, Hollywood - --------------- Park has other capital needs with respect to Boomtown Reno. The Company expects to spend approximately $25,000,000 on the expansion and renovation of Boomtown Reno, including additional hotel rooms, expanded gaming space and other amenities, which is expected to be completed by the end of 1998. As of June 30, 1998, the Company has disbursed approximately $9,400,000 related to the Boomtown Reno expansion. GENERAL Hollywood Park is continually evaluating future growth opportunities in the gaming, sports and entertainment industries. Hollywood Park expects that funding for the Casino Magic Merger, other 27 expansion, payment of interest on the Notes, payment of notes payable, and normal and necessary capital expenditure needs will come from existing cash balances generated from operating activities and borrowings from the Bank Credit Facility. In the opinion of management, these resources will be sufficient to meet Hollywood Park's anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future and in any event for at least the next twelve months. Item 3.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION - ------------------------- On July 21, 1998, Mr. Harry Ornest, Director and Vice Chairman of Hollywood Park, Inc. passed away. The Company is seeking a suitable replacement. The Company continues to support legislation in California which would significantly reduce the license fees paid to the state on wagers on thoroughbred races, and would significantly increase the number of out-of-state thoroughbred races that Hollywood Park Race Track would be able to simulcast from other race tracks. Senate Bill 27 ("SB-27") is currently pending before the Assembly Appropriations Committee. While passage of this legislation is speculative, the Company is cautiously optimistic that SB-27, or some variation thereof, will be enacted in 1998. The precise benefits of this legislation are subject to a number of factors and no assurance can be given of the magnitude of such benefits in future years. ITEM 6.A EXHIBITS - -----------------

Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Landlord's pro rata share of the Real Estate Taxes assessed for the calendar year in which the Term commences promptly upon receipt by Landlord of satisfactory evidence of the payment of such Real Estate Taxes by Tenant. Tenant shall pay on the date of termination of this Lease all Real Estate Taxes due and payable during the calendar year in which the Term ends and Tenant's pro rata share of Real Estate Taxes assessed for the calendar year in which the Term ends. If the amount of such Real Estate Taxes is not then determined, the most recently available tax rates and assessed valuations shall be used in determining the amount to be paid under this Section 9.02. SECTION 9.03. RIGHT TO CONTEST. Tenant shall have the right to ------------ ---------------- contest all Taxes and Utility Expenses referred to in Section 9.01 by appropriate legal proceedings, or in such other manner as it may deem appropriate. Such legal proceedings shall include any and all appropriate appeals or other proceedings and appeals from orders, judgments or decrees so long as the same are sufficient to prevent a foreclosure sale. Tenant shall conduct all such proceedings at its expense. Landlord, in its capacity as the fee simple owner of the Real Estate, shall execute all documents reasonably required for such proceedings. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall pay any such Taxes or Utility Expenses prior to the time the Leased Premises or Improvements (or any part thereof) shall become subject to sale upon foreclosure of the lien therefor. SECTION 9.04. DISTRIBUTION OF OVERPAYMENT. If there shall be any ------------ --------------------------- refunds or rebates on account of Taxes or Utility Expenses paid by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease, such refund or rebate shall belong to Tenant, whether or not received by Landlord during the Term; provided, however, that in the event of a refund or rebate resulting from the contest of Real Estate Taxes, Landlord shall be entitled to its proportionate share of such refund or rebate if the Real Estate Taxes were assessed on a larger parcel owned by Landlord of which the Leased Premises and/or Improvements are a part. Any refunds so received by Landlord shall be deemed to be received by Landlord in trust for Tenant and shall be paid to Tenant forthwith. Landlord will, upon request of 24 Tenant, sign any receipts which may be necessary to secure the payment of any such refund or rebate. SECTION 9.05. SEPARATE ASSESSMENTS. If the Leased Premises is part ------------ -------------------- of a larger parcel that is owned by Landlord, Landlord shall make such application as may be necessary or appropriate to obtain separate tax assessments for the Leased Premises and Improvements. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. ARTICLE X --------- MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS ----------------------- Tenant shall at all times during the Term, at its expense, keep and maintain or cause to be kept and maintained the Leased Premises and Improvements in a first class, clean and safe condition and repair and in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local statutes, laws, ordinances, rules and regulations and all applicable orders and requirements of governmental authorities, including (without limitation) the making of all necessary structural repairs and replacements.

Tenant shall promptly after the ------------- ---------------- filing thereof discharge of record, at Tenant's expense, any mechanics', materialmen's or other lien, or notice of intention to file any such lien, filed against the Leased Premises or Improvements or any part thereof or interest therein; provided that Tenant shall have the right to contest the validity of any such lien in any manner permitted by law so long as Tenant (a) shall provide to Landlord, title insurance, an indemnity, bond or other assurance or security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; and (b) shall thereafter diligently proceed to cause such lien or notice of intention to file a lien to be removed and discharged. If Tenant shall fail to so discharge, or to seek to discharge, any such lien or notice of intention to file a lien, then Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same, either by paying the amount claimed to be due, or by procuring the discharge of such lien by depositing in court a bond for the amount claimed or in such other manner as is or may be permitted by law, and Tenant shall reimburse and indemnify Landlord in respect thereto. SECTION 11.02. INDEMNIFICATION BY TENANT. Subject to the provisions ------------- ------------------------- of Section 12.05 and regardless of whether or not caused or alleged to be caused by the several, joint, concurrent or comparative negligence, but not sole negligence, of Landlord, Tenant shall, at its sole 25 cost and expense, indemnify and save harmless Landlord against and from any and all liability, damages, losses, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, court costs and attorneys' fees) arising out of, resulting from or in any way connected with: (a) Tenant's possession, use or control of the Leased Premises or Improvements or any part thereof during the Term, (b) any condition of the Leased Premises or Improvements or any part thereof during the Term, (c) any breach or default on the part of Tenant in the performance of any covenant or agreement to be observed or performed by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, (d) any willful or negligent act or omission of Tenant, or any of its agents, contractors, licensees, subtenants or its or their employees, customers or invitees, or (e) any accident, injury to or death of persons or damage to property whatsoever in or about the Leased Premises or Improvements or any part thereof during the Term. In case any claim, action or proceeding covered by the preceding indemnification provisions shall be brought against Landlord, Tenant, upon written notice from Landlord, shall defend such action or proceeding with counsel acceptable to Landlord. Tenant's indemnification obligations hereunder shall be in addition to any and all other obligations Tenant may have to Landlord at law or in equity and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term and any transfer by Landlord of title to the Leased Premises. ARTICLE XII ----------- INSURANCE --------- 26 SECTION 12.01. LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant shall maintain and keep ------------- ------------------- in force at all times during the Term, with an insurance company or companies licensed to do business in the State of Indiana and otherwise acceptable to Landlord (a) comprehensive general public liability insurance covering any and all claims for injuries to or death of persons or damage to property occurring in or upon the Leased Premises and Improvements and having initial minimum levels of combined coverage for bodily injury (including death resulting therefrom) and property damage, including umbrella coverage, of not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00), for each occurrence and on an annual aggregate basis and (b) workmen's compensation and employer's liability insurance in such amounts as shall be required by law from time to time, but in no event less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) per accident. Tenant's comprehensive general public liability insurance shall have extensions of coverage to include blanket contractual liability for written and oral contracts (including Tenant's indemnification obligations hereunder), broad form property damage and premises operations (including explosion, collapse and underground coverage). In addition, Tenant shall maintain or cause its contractor(s) or construction manager to maintain products and completed operations coverage through the period ending two (2) years after completion of construction of the Improvements. Each policy referred to in this Section 11.01 shall name Landlord as an additional insured, as well as Tenant's contractor(s) and/or construction manager during the period of construction of any Improvements and during any period in which construction, alteration or substantial repair work is being performed on or to the Leased Premises or Improvements (or any part thereof). Such liability insurance may be provided by a single policy or combination of underlying policies, with the balance provided by an excess or umbrella liability policy; provided such excess or umbrella insurance complies with all other requirements of this Lease with respect to such insurance. SECTION 12.02. PROPERTY INSURANCE. During the Term, Tenant shall ------------- ------------------ keep the Improvements insured with an insurance company licensed to do business in the State of Indiana and otherwise acceptable to Landlord for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant, as their respective interests may appear, against loss or damage by fire or other casualty (including earthquake, to the extent customary and available at reasonable costs) covered by a customary extended coverage endorsement, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost thereof and providing for and having a deductible in an amount not exceeding One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). In addition during the period of construction of the Improvements (or during any period in which construction, alteration or substantial repair work is being performed on or to the Leased Premises or Improvements (or any part thereof), Tenant shall maintain in force builder's all risk coverage, with fire and extended coverages. Such builder's all risk coverage may be written as an endorsement to the casualty insurance required by the first sentence of this Section 11.02 and shall protect the interests of Landlord and Tenant's construction manager and/or contractors and subcontractors as their respective interests may appear. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall at all times maintain such insurance in an amount sufficient to meet all co-insurance requirements under such insurance policy. Landlord shall not carry any insurance concurrent in coverage and contributing in the event of loss with any insurance required to be furnished by Tenant hereunder, if the effect of such separate insurance would be to reduce the protection or the payment to be made under Tenant's insurance. 27 SECTION 12.03. PROOF OF INSURANCE. Tenant shall deliver copies of ------------- ------------------ the insurance policies showing the coverages required by this Article XI to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date but in all events prior to the commencement of any excavation or filling of the Real Estate or the construction of any Improvements, and thereafter a copy of each replacement policy shall be provided not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the policy being replaced. Each such policy referred to in this Article XII shall contain a provision providing that the policy shall not be canceled, not renewed or materially amended without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. SECTION 12.04. ADJUSTMENT IN INSURANCE. If by reason of changed ------------- ----------------------- conditions or by reason of experience Landlord reasonably determines that the insurance amounts referred to in the foregoing Section 12.01 are inadequate, Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord, increase the amounts of such insurance carried to the extent appropriate for a like facility under like circumstances. In the event that it shall become customary for lessees of similar premises to maintain types or coverages of insurance other than those required to be maintained by Tenant under this Article XII, Tenant shall maintain such other types of coverages of insurance upon the written request of Landlord so long as such types or coverages of insurance can be obtained by Tenant at reasonable cost. SECTION 12.05. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Tenant and Landlord waive all ------------- --------------------- rights against each other and against those for whom the other is legally liable for all losses covered by insurance provided under this Article XI to the extent the limits of such insurance are adequate to cover such losses, it being the intent of this provision to allocate all risk of such loss to such insurance; provided, however, that this waiver shall not be effective if it would preclude - -------- ------- or prejudice the right of Landlord or Tenant to recover under such insurance policy. If the policies of insurance provided for under this Article XI require an endorsement to provide for continued coverage where there is a waiver of subrogation, Tenant shall cause such policies to be so endorsed. SECTION 12.06. INSURANCE PROCEEDS. The proceeds of all policies of ------------- ------------------ insurance on the Improvements maintained pursuant to Section 11.02 remaining after any required payment to any Mortgagee shall be used as a trust fund toward the repair, replacement or rebuilding of the Improvements. Accordingly, all insurance proceeds paid to Tenant and/or Landlord under such policies shall be deemed to be received and held by such party in trust for the payment of the costs of repairing, replacing and rebuilding the Improvements. All such insurance proceeds so received shall be deposited by such party with the first Mortgagee or if there is no Mortgagee with a banking or similar institution approved by Landlord, to be held and disbursed by such Mortgagee or institution for the payment of the costs of repairing, replacing and rebuilding the Improvements in the manner and upon the conditions customarily applicable to construction loans. If the insurance proceeds shall exceed the cost of repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Improvements, the balance remaining after payment of such costs shall be the property of and shall be paid to Tenant. The institution so holding and disbursing the insurance proceeds may deduct from any insurance proceeds deposited with it the amount of its charges for the performance of its services and any reasonable expenses incurred by it in connection therewith. 28 Landlord shall cooperate fully with Tenant in collecting such insurance proceeds and shall execute and deliver, as requested by Tenant, any and all proofs, receipts, releases and other instruments as may be appropriate for such purpose. SECTION 12.07. GENERAL PROVISIONS. In the event Tenant shall fail or ------------- ------------------ refuse to obtain any insurance required by this Article XI, Landlord, in addition to any other rights Landlord may have under this Lease or at law or in equity, shall have the right to obtain such insurance. The cost of such insurance shall constitute additional Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord immediately upon demand. ARTICLE XIII ------------ DESTRUCTION ----------- SECTION 13.01. TENANT'S OBLIGATION TO REPAIR. If at any time during ------------- ----------------------------- the Term the Improvements shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or other cause, Tenant shall cause the same to be repaired, replaced or rebuilt within a period of time which, under all prevailing circumstances, shall be reasonable, subject to Unavoidable Delays. In the repair, replacement or rebuilding of any Improvements hereunder, Tenant shall repair, replace or rebuild the Improvements so damaged or destroyed to their condition immediately before such damage or destruction, subject to all then applicable laws, ordinances, rules or regulations of any governmental authority affecting the same. If the insurance proceeds payable in respect of any such damage or destruction, less any cost of collection and any less amounts required to be paid to any Mortgagee, shall be insufficient to pay the entire cost of such repair, replacement or rebuilding, Tenant shall provide for the deficiency. In such event, the time within which Tenant shall be required to commence and complete its obligations hereunder shall include a reasonable time to obtain and close the necessary commitments for equity or mortgage financing to cover the deficiency. SECTION 13.02. NO RENT ABATEMENT. In no event shall Rent or other ------------- ----------------- charges due hereunder abate in the event of such damage or destruction. ARTICLE XIV ----------- CONDEMNATION ------------ SECTION 14.01. TOTAL CONDEMNATION. If at any time during the Term ------------- ------------------ there shall be a total taking or a Constructive Total Taking of the Leased Premises and Improvements (or any part thereof) in condemnation proceedings or by any right of eminent domain or by a conveyance in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate on the date of such taking and the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be prorated and paid to the date of such taking. 29 SECTION 14.02. PROCEEDS OF TOTAL CONDEMNATION. In the event of any ------------- ------------------------------ such total taking or Constructive Total Taking and the termination of this Lease, the Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid to Chicago Title Insurance Company, or such other entity mutually agreeable to Landlord and Tenant, as trustee ("TRUSTEE"), but shall be applied by Trustee in the following order of priority: (a) First, to the Mortgagees in the order of priority of such Mortgages to the extent of unpaid principal amounts of such Mortgages, but only to the extent such unpaid principal amount represents loan proceeds that were used for the constructing and equipping of Improvements and all replacements thereof or the refinancing thereof, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all costs, expenses and advances pursuant thereto and all advances made by such Mortgagee for the benefit of the Leased Premises and Improvements and the continued use and operation thereof; (b) Second, to the payment of costs and expenses, including (without limitation) court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord and Tenant in connection with such taking; (c) Third, to Landlord in an amount equal to the value of the Real Estate determined as if unencumbered by this Lease and unimproved; (d) Fourth, to Landlord in an amount equal to the then present value of the Base Rent and Additional Rent (based upon the amount of Additional Rent paid by Tenant for the calendar year immediately preceding such total taking or Constructive Total Taking) which would have been due and payable to Landlord during the Original Term or the applicable Extension Term if such total taking or Constructive Total Taking had not occurred; and (e) Any remaining balance shall be paid to Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall impair the right of Tenant to the full award, compensation or damages payable as an award for loss of business or for moving expenses, as long as such award shall not reduce the amount of the award otherwise recoverable by Landlord from the condemning authority. SECTION 14.03. PARTIAL CONDEMNATION. In the event of a taking that ------------- -------------------- is less than a Constructive Total Taking, this Lease shall not terminate or be affected in any way, except as provided in Section 14.04. The Condemnation Proceeds in such event shall be paid to the Trustee and applied by the Trustee, to the extent available (following any required payments to Mortgagees), in the following order of priority: 30 (a) First, to the payment of costs and expenses, including (without limitation) reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord and Tenant in connection with such taking; (b) The balance of the Condemnation Proceeds shall be payable in trust to the first Mortgagee or if there is no Mortgagee to a banking or similar institution approved by Landlord to be disbursed by such Mortgagee or institution for payment of the costs of repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Improvements in the manner then reasonably feasible as required by Section 14.04; (c) The Condemnation Proceeds, if any, remaining after repair, replacement or rebuilding shall be paid to Tenant, except to the extent of an equitable portion of the Condemnation Proceeds allocable by agreement of Landlord and Tenant to Landlord on account of any taking of fee title to any portion of the Real Estate. SECTION 14.04. RESTORATION. In the event of a taking that is less ------------- ----------- than a Constructive Total Taking, Tenant shall proceed with due diligence, subject to Unavoidable Delays, to repair, replace or rebuild the remaining Improvements to their former condition as may be reasonably possible. If the Condemnation Proceeds are insufficient to pay the entire cost of such repair, replacement or rebuilding, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency. SECTION 14.05. TEMPORARY CONDEMNATION. If, at any time during the ------------- ---------------------- Term, the whole or any part of the Leased Premises or Improvements or Tenant's interest therein under this Lease shall be taken in condemnation proceedings or by any right of eminent domain for temporary use or occupancy, the foregoing provisions of this Article XIV shall not apply, and, except to the extent that Tenant may be prevented from so doing pursuant to the terms of the order of the condemning authority, Tenant shall perform and observe all of the other terms, covenants, conditions and obligations hereof to be performed and observed by it, as though such taking had not occurred. In the event of any such taking of the character referred to in this Section 14.05, Tenant shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of the Condemnation Proceeds paid for such taking, whether paid by way of damages, rent, costs of moving or restoration or otherwise, unless such period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the expiration of the Term, in which case the Condemnation Proceeds shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of expiration of the Term. Upon the expiration of any such period of temporary use or occupancy during the Term, Tenant shall, at its expense, restore the Improvements as nearly as may be reasonably possible to the condition in which the same were immediately prior to such taking. If such period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the expiration of the Term, any portion of the Condemnation Proceeds received by Tenant as compensation for the cost of restoration of the Improvements shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on the date of termination of this Lease, and Tenant shall be thereby relieved of the obligation to perform such restoration. SECTION 14.06. RENT ADJUSTMENT. In the event of a taking of the ------------- --------------- character referred to in Section 14.03, this Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Leased Premises so taken. No 31 such partial taking shall affect the Rent payable hereunder unless (i) the taking includes or affects leasable or other income producing space, or (ii) the taking has or will have, in Tenant's reasonable judgment, an adverse effect upon the operations of the Leased Premises or Improvements. In either of such events, upon the request of Tenant (and payment to Landlord of the payment, if any, agreed upon pursuant to Section 14.03), the Base Rent payable for the balance of the Term of this Lease shall be equitably and proportionately reduced from the date of such taking. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the amount of such reduction in Base Rent (or payment out of Condemnation Proceeds pursuant to Section 14.03), they shall be determined on a consistent basis by an independent appraiser with M.A.I. credentials selected by agreement of Landlord and Tenant or, in the absence of agreement on a single appraiser, by an independent appraiser with M.A.I. credentials selected by agreement of the appraisers appointed (one each) by Landlord and Tenant. Until the amount of the reduction in the Base Rent has been determined, Tenant shall continue to pay Landlord the Base Rent provided for herein. Upon determination of the reduction in Base Rent, Tenant shall be entitled to credit the amount by which any Base Rent theretofore paid by Tenant for such period exceeds the amount of the Base Rent for such period as so reduced against the first installments of Base Rent thereafter payable under the Lease; provided, however, that if at the time of such determination the Term has ended or such credit exceeds the amount of all future installments of Base Rent payable hereunder, Landlord shall pay to Tenant an amount equal to such excess upon demand. SECTION 14.07. RIGHTS TO APPEAR. Landlord, Tenant and any Mortgagee ------------- ---------------- shall have the right to participate in any condemnation proceeding for the purpose of protecting their rights hereunder, and in this connection, specifically and without limitation, to introduce evidence to establish the value of or damage to the Real Estate, the Leased Premises and/or the Improvements (or any part thereof). ARTICLE XV ---------- MORTGAGES --------- SECTION 15.01. FEE TITLE NOT SUBORDINATED. Nothing herein shall be ------------- -------------------------- deemed to constitute a subordination of Landlord's fee simple title in the Real Estate to any Mortgage or to require Landlord to execute any Mortgage or agreement or instrument or take any action to effect any such subordination. SECTION 15.02. LEASEHOLD MORTGAGES. ------------- ------------------- (a) Without the requirement of any consent of Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to mortgage its entire interest under this Lease and in and to the Improvements. 32 The execution and delivery of any such Mortgage shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment or transfer of this Lease, nor shall the holder of any such Mortgage be deemed (prior to a foreclosure judgment and the taking of possession as hereinafter provided) an assignee or transferee of this Lease so as to require such holder to assume the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of the execution and delivery of a Mortgage meeting the requirements of this Section 15.02 and shall furnish it with conformed copies thereof. (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, no purchaser or transferee at any foreclosure sale or other transfer authorized by law or this Lease shall acquire any right, title or interest in or to this Lease, the Leased Premises or the Improvements unless (i) said purchaser or transferee shall, in the instrument transferring the same or immediately after acquiring the same, assume and agree to keep, observe and perform all of the terms, covenants and provisions of this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be kept, observed and performed (including the obligation to cure defaults arising prior to such assumption curable by the payment of money or otherwise reasonably susceptible of being cured) and shall therein agree that no further or additional mortgage or assignment of this Lease shall be made, except as provided in this Article XIV and (ii) a duplicate-original of said assumption agreement, duly executed and acknowledged by said purchaser or transferee, shall be delivered to Landlord promptly following the consummation of such sale or transfer. SECTION 15.03. NOTICES AND RIGHTS ON TENANT'S DEFAULT. If Tenant or ------------- --------------------------------------- a Mortgagee shall provide to Landlord a copy of any such Mortgage, together with written notice specifying the name and address of the Mortgagee, Landlord agrees that so long as any such Mortgage shall remain unsatisfied of record or until written notice of satisfaction is given by the Mortgagee to Landlord, the provisions of this Article XV shall apply. Following any such notification specifying the name and address of a Mortgagee: (a) Landlord shall give such Mortgagee notice of each notice given to Tenant under this Lease (such notice to be given in the same manner as provided in the following Article XXV for notices to a party to this Lease) at such Mortgagee's last address for notice provided to Landlord as provided above. No such notice to Tenant shall be effective unless notice thereof is so given to all such Mortgagee(s). Landlord shall have no obligation to give notice to a Mortgagee at any address other than such Mortgagee's last address for notice provided to Landlord. (b) Such Mortgagee(s) shall have the right, until forty- five (45) days after the later of (i) expiration of Tenant's applicable cure period, or (ii) receipt of its copy of any such notice as is given to Tenant, to remedy or cause to be remedied the 33 Event of Default which is the basis of the notice; and Landlord shall accept performance by such Mortgagee as performance by Tenant. (c) In case of an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, other than an Event of Default susceptible of being cured solely by the payment of money, Landlord shall take no action to effect a termination of this Lease by service of a notice or otherwise without first giving to such Mortgagee(s) a reasonable time, under prevailing circumstances, within which either: (i) to obtain possession of the Leased Premises and Improvements (including possession by a receiver) and to cure such Event of Default, in the case of an Event of Default that is susceptible of being cured when such Mortgagee has obtained possession of the Leased Premises and Improvements; or (ii) to institute and complete foreclosure proceedings or otherwise acquire Tenant's estate under this Lease, in the case of an Event of Default which is not so susceptible of being cured by such Mortgagee upon obtaining possession. The provisions of this clause (c) of this Section 15.03 are conditioned on the Mortgagee delivering to Landlord, within the forty-five (45) day period specified in clause (b) above, an instrument agreeing that it will attempt with due diligence to obtain possession of the Leased Premises and Improvements, and that upon obtaining possession of the Leased Premises and Improvements, whether through foreclosure or otherwise, it will cure such Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Article XVIII). (d) Such Mortgagee shall not be required to continue possession or continue foreclosure proceedings under clause (c) of this Section if the particular Event of Default has been cured. (e) Landlord's right to terminate this Lease by reason of any Event of Default described in Article XVIII shall end, with respect to such Event of Default, on the date such Mortgagee or any purchaser at the foreclosure sale or by assignment in lieu thereof shall obtain possession of the Leased Premises as successor to Tenant (whether or not under a new lease); provided that Landlord has not, prior to such date, validly exercised its right to terminate this Lease, and provided that any purchaser or transferee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu thereof complies with the provisions of Section 15.02(b). (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Landlord shall purport to terminate this Lease for any reason prior to the last day of the Term, Landlord shall enter into a new lease for the Leased Premises with any Mortgagee, or its designee, for the remainder of what would have been the Term of this Lease in the absence of such purported termination, effective as of the date and time of such purported termination, at the Rent and upon the same terms, covenants and conditions contained herein, and Landlord, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of such new lease, shall assign and turn over to the tenant named therein the monies and subleases, if any, then being held by Landlord pursuant to this Lease, 34 which Tenant would have been entitled to but for such purported termination, and said new tenant shall assume such subleases without recourse to Landlord, provided that: (i) such Mortgagee shall make written request for such new lease within sixty (60) days after the date of such purported termination; and (ii) such Mortgagee shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord on the commencement date of the term of the new lease, all installments of Rent that at such time are or would have been due and unpaid through such commencement date under this Lease but for such purported termination and shall cure all uncured Events of Default of Tenant under this Lease that are curable by the payment of money or otherwise reasonably susceptible of being cured by such Mortgagee; and shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord on that date all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, reasonable management fees and court costs and disbursements incurred by Landlord in connection with any such default and purported termination as well as in connection with the execution and delivery of such new lease, less the net income collected by Landlord from the date of such purported termination of this Lease to the commencement date of such new lease, any excess of such net income over the total of said sums and expenses to be applied by Landlord to the payment of the Rent thereafter becoming due under such new lease. In the event two or more Mortgagees each exercise their rights hereunder and there is a conflict that renders it impossible to comply with all such requests, the Mortgagee whose leasehold Mortgage would be senior in priority if there were a foreclosure shall prevail. If all of the foregoing conditions shall be satisfied, the purported termination shall be deemed ineffective and void ab initio, so that the new lease shall be -- ------ deemed to be a continuation of this Lease for all purposes under applicable law. If such conditions shall not be met, the Lease shall be deemed to have terminated upon the expiration of the sixty (60) day period provided for in the foregoing clause (i) of this paragraph (f). (g) In the event any Mortgagee pays any Rent or other sums due hereunder which relate to periods other than during its actual ownership of the leasehold estate, such Mortgagee shall be subrogated to any and all rights which Tenant may assert against Landlord with respect to such period for which such Rent or other sums were paid. 35 (h) No surrender or cancellation of this Lease (other than a termination by Landlord in compliance with the conditions of this Article XV) shall be effective without written approval of the Mortgagee(s); nor shall the acquisition of both the fee and leasehold estates in the Leased Premises in one entity be deemed to effect a merger thereof without the express written consent of the owner/lessee and all Mortgagees at the time said fee and leasehold estates are so acquired by one entity. SECTION 15.04. NO OBLIGATION TO CURE. Nothing herein contained shall ------------- --------------------- require any Mortgagee to cure or undertake to cure any default of Tenant, unless and until such Mortgagee elects to exercise any right under Section 15.03 as to which such cure or undertaking to cure is a condition. SECTION 15.05. MODIFICATION OF LEASE. If in connection with ------------- --------------------- obtaining a Mortgage from a prospective Mortgagee, such Mortgagee shall request reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to the making of such Mortgage Loan, Landlord will execute an agreement in recordable form so modifying this Lease, provided that such modifications do not adversely affect Landlord hereunder. SECTION 15.06. EXCLUSION. The rights contained in this Article XV ------------- --------- and elsewhere in this Lease with respect to Mortgagees shall not apply to any Mortgagee who shall fail to give Landlord written notice of its identity and address. SECTION 15.07. NOTICES TO LANDLORD. Tenant shall provide to Landlord ------------- ------------------- written notice of any material default by Tenant as to which Tenant receives notice pursuant to any Mortgage; and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to obtain the agreement of any Mortgagee to accept any cure tendered by Landlord (without obligation of Landlord to undertake any such cure) of any such material Mortgage default. ARTICLE XVI ----------- SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE -------------------- In addition to any other rights that Tenant or Landlord may have under this Lease, if the other fails or refuses to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument or instruments or to take any other action (other than an action solely involving the payment of any sum of money) required to effectuate the provisions of this Lease within the time period required by this Lease or, if no time period therefor is specified in this Lease, within any reasonable time period specified in any request from the other party, then from and after the date fifteen (15) days after the date of delivery of a final written demand to the other party requesting such execution, acknowledgment and delivery or other action, the requesting party shall be entitled to specific performance, declaratory relief, or such other remedies at law or equity which may be appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this Lease. 36 ARTICLE XVII ------------ LANDLORD'S RIGHT OF ENTRY ------------------------- Tenant shall permit Landlord and its authorized representatives, upon reasonable prior notice, to enter the Leased Premises and Improvements for the purpose of (a) inspecting the same, (b) showing the same to prospective purchaser's of Landlord's title to the Leased Premises or to prospective tenant's of the Leased Premises, or (c) performing any work in the Leased Premises that may be necessary by reason of Tenant's failure to perform any such work or to commence the same within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord (or without notice in case of emergency). Nothing herein shall imply any duty on the part of Landlord to do any such work, and performance thereof by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default in failing to perform the same. Landlord shall not be liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business or other damage to Tenant or any subtenant or licensee of Tenant by reason of performing any such work, and the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not be affected thereby. ARTICLE XVIII ------------- DEFAULTS -------- SECTION 18.01. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following events, if ------------- ----------------- not remedied as hereinafter provided, shall be deemed an "Event of Default": (a) The occurrence of any event set forth in Article XX, as therein provided; (b) Tenant's failure to pay any installment of Rent within thirty (30) days of the due date thereof; (c) Tenant's failure to perform any other covenant or agreement herein contained on Tenant's part to be kept or performed and the continuance of such failure for a period of thirty (30) days after notice in writing to Tenant from Landlord specifying the nature of such failure; (d) Tenant obtains a License for Switzerland County, Indiana and such License shall be cancelled, terminated or revoked or shall have expired and not be renewed, and Tenant shall not have assigned this Lease with the consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to any other person or entity that holds a License for Switzerland County, Indiana within one (1) year after the date of such cancellation, termination, revocation or expiration; or 37 (e) In the event Tenant abandons its efforts to obtain the License.

Any assignment or transfer by operation of law (voluntary or involuntary), merger, conversion or reorganization, any assignment or transfer to a receiver or trustee in any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding shall constitute an assignment or transfer for purposes of this Lease.

ARTICLE IX ---------- TAXES AND UTILITY EXPENSES -------------------------- SECTION 9.01. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND UTILITY EXPENSES.

Such liability insurance may be provided by a single policy or combination of underlying policies, with the balance provided by an excess or umbrella liability policy; provided such excess or umbrella insurance complies with all other requirements of this Lease with respect to such insurance. SECTION 12.02. PROPERTY INSURANCE. During the Term, Tenant shall ------------- ------------------ keep the Improvements insured with an insurance company licensed to do business in the State of Indiana and otherwise acceptable to Landlord for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant, as their respective interests may appear, against loss or damage by fire or other casualty (including earthquake, to the extent customary and available at reasonable costs) covered by a customary extended coverage endorsement, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost thereof and providing for and having a deductible in an amount not exceeding One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).

Such builder's all risk coverage may be written as an endorsement to the casualty insurance required by the first sentence of this Section 11.02 and shall protect the interests of Landlord and Tenant's construction manager and/or contractors and subcontractors as their respective interests may appear. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall at all times maintain such insurance in an amount sufficient to meet all co-insurance requirements 34 under such insurance policy. Landlord shall not carry any insurance concurrent in coverage and contributing in the event of loss with any insurance required to be furnished by Tenant hereunder, if the effect of such separate insurance would be to reduce the protection or the payment to be made under Tenant's insurance. SECTION 12.03. PROOF OF INSURANCE. Tenant shall deliver copies of ------------- ------------------ the insurance policies showing the coverages required by this Article XI to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date but in all events prior to the commencement of any excavation or filling of the Real Estate or the construction of any Improvements, and thereafter a copy of each replacement policy shall be provided not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the policy being replaced. Each such policy referred to in this Article XII shall contain a provision providing that the policy shall not be canceled, not renewed or materially amended without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord.

Tenant and Landlord waive all ------------- --------------------- rights against each other and against those for whom the other is legally liable for all losses covered by insurance provided under this Article XI to the extent the limits of such insurance are adequate to cover such losses, it being the intent of this provision to allocate all risk of such loss to such insurance; provided, however, that this waiver shall not be effective if it would preclude - -------- ------- or prejudice the right of Landlord or Tenant to recover under such insurance policy. If the policies of insurance provided for under this Article XI require an endorsement to provide for continued coverage where there is a waiver of subrogation, Tenant shall cause such policies to be so endorsed. SECTION 12.06. INSURANCE PROCEEDS. The proceeds of all policies of ------------------ insurance on the Improvements maintained pursuant to Section 11.02 remaining after any required payment to any Mortgagee shall be used as a trust fund toward the repair, replacement or rebuilding of the Improvements. Accordingly, all insurance proceeds paid to Tenant and/or Landlord under such policies shall be deemed to be received and held by such party in trust for the payment of the costs of repairing, replacing and rebuilding the Improvements. All such insurance proceeds so received shall be deposited by such party with the first Mortgagee or if there is no Mortgagee with a banking or similar institution approved by Landlord, to be held and disbursed by such Mortgagee or institution for the payment of the costs of repairing, replacing and rebuilding the Improvements in the manner and upon the conditions customarily applicable to construction loans.

Landlord shall cooperate fully with Tenant in collecting such insurance proceeds and shall execute and deliver, as requested by Tenant, any and all proofs, receipts, releases and other instruments as may be appropriate for such purpose. SECTION 12.07. GENERAL PROVISIONS. In the event Tenant shall fail or ------------- ------------------ refuse to obtain any insurance required by this Article XI, Landlord, in addition to any other rights Landlord may have under this Lease or at law or in equity, shall have the right to obtain such insurance.

In the repair, replacement or rebuilding of any Improvements hereunder, Tenant shall repair, replace or rebuild the Improvements so damaged or destroyed to their condition immediately before such damage or destruction, subject to all then applicable laws, ordinances, rules or regulations of any governmental authority affecting the same. If the insurance proceeds payable in respect of any such damage or destruction, less any cost of collection and any less amounts required to be paid to any Mortgagee, shall be insufficient to pay the entire cost of such repair, replacement or rebuilding, Tenant shall provide for the deficiency. In such event, the time within which Tenant shall be required to commence and complete its obligations hereunder shall include a reasonable time to obtain and close the necessary commitments for equity or mortgage financing to cover the deficiency. SECTION 13.02. NO RENT ABATEMENT. In no event shall Rent or other ------------- ----------------- charges due hereunder abate in the event of such damage or destruction. 36 ARTICLE XIV ----------- CONDEMNATION ------------ SECTION 14.01.

In the event of any ------------- ------------------------------ such total taking or Constructive Total Taking and the termination of this Lease, the Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid to Chicago Title Insurance Company, or such other entity mutually agreeable to Landlord and Tenant, as trustee (the "TRUSTEE"), but shall be applied by Trustee in the following order of priority: (a) First, to the Mortgagees in the order of priority of such Mortgages to the extent of unpaid principal amounts of such Mortgages, but only to the extent such unpaid principal amount represents loan proceeds that were used for the constructing and equipping of Improvements and all replacements thereof or the refinancing thereof, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all costs, expenses and advances pursuant thereto and all advances made by such Mortgagee for the benefit of the Leased Premises and Improvements and the continued use and operation thereof; (b) Second, to the payment of costs and expenses, including (without limitation) court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord and Tenant in connection with such taking; (c) Third, to Landlord in an amount equal to the value of the Real Estate determined as if unencumbered by this Lease and unimproved; (d) Fourth, to Landlord in an amount equal to the then present value of the Base Rent which would have been due and payable to Landlord during the Original Term or the applicable Extension Term if such total taking or Constructive Total Taking had not occurred; and (e) Any remaining balance shall be paid to Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall impair the right of Tenant to the full award, compensation or damages payable as an award for loss of business or for moving expenses, as long as such award shall not reduce the amount of the award otherwise recoverable by Landlord from the condemning authority. 37 SECTION 14.03. PARTIAL CONDEMNATION.

The Condemnation Proceeds in such event shall be paid to Trustee and applied by the Trustee, to the extent available (following any required payments to Mortgagees), in the following order of priority: (a) First, to the payment of costs and expenses, including (without limitation) reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord and Tenant in connection with such taking; (b) The balance of the Condemnation Proceeds shall be payable in trust to the first Mortgagee or if there is no Mortgagee to a banking or similar institution approved by Landlord to be disbursed by such Mortgagee or institution for payment of the costs of repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Improvements in the manner then reasonably feasible as required by Section 14.04; (c) The Condemnation Proceeds, if any, remaining after repair, replacement or rebuilding shall be paid to Tenant, except to the extent of an equitable portion of the Condemnation Proceeds allocable by agreement of Landlord and Tenant to Landlord on account of any taking of fee title to any portion of the Real Estate. SECTION 14.04. RESTORATION. In the event of a taking that is less ------------- ----------- than a Constructive Total Taking, Tenant shall proceed with due diligence, subject to Unavoidable Delays, to repair, replace or rebuild the remaining Improvements to their former condition as may be reasonably possible. If the Condemnation Proceeds are insufficient to pay the entire cost of such repair, replacement or rebuilding, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency. SECTION 14.05. TEMPORARY CONDEMNATION. If, at any time during the ------------- ---------------------- Term, the whole or any part of the Leased Premises or Improvements or Tenant's interest therein under this Lease shall be taken in condemnation proceedings or by any right of eminent domain for temporary use or occupancy, the foregoing provisions of this Article XIV shall not apply, and, except to the extent that Tenant may be prevented from so doing pursuant to the terms of the order of the condemning authority, Tenant shall perform and observe all of the other terms, covenants, conditions and obligations hereof to be performed and observed by it, as though such taking had not occurred. In the event of any such taking of the character referred to in this Section 14.05, Tenant shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of the Condemnation Proceeds paid for such taking, whether paid by way of damages, rent, costs of moving or restoration or otherwise, unless such period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the expiration of the Term, in which case the Condemnation Proceeds shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of expiration of the Term. Upon the expiration of any such period of temporary use or occupancy during the Term, Tenant shall, at its expense, restore the Improvements as nearly as may be 38 reasonably possible to the condition in which the same were immediately prior to such taking. If such period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the expiration of the Term, any portion of the Condemnation Proceeds received by Tenant as compensation for the cost of restoration of the Improvements shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on the date of termination of this Lease, and Tenant shall be thereby relieved of the obligation to perform such restoration. SECTION 14.06. RENT ADJUSTMENT. In the event of a taking of the ------------- --------------- character referred to in Section 14.03, this Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Leased Premises so taken. No such partial taking shall affect the Rent payable hereunder unless (i) the taking includes or affects leasable or other income producing space, or (ii) the taking has or will have, in Tenant's reasonable judgment, an adverse effect upon the operations of the Leased Premises or Improvements. In either of such events, upon the request of Tenant (and payment to Landlord of the payment, if any, agreed upon pursuant to Section 14.03), the Base Rent payable for the balance of the Term of this Lease shall be equitably and proportionately reduced from the date of such taking. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the amount of such reduction in Base Rent (or payment out of Condemnation Proceeds pursuant to Section 14.03), they shall be determined on a consistent basis by an independent appraiser with M.A.I. credentials selected by agreement of Landlord and Tenant or, in the absence of agreement on a single appraiser, by an independent appraiser with M.A.I. credentials selected by agreement of the appraisers appointed (one each) by Landlord and Tenant. Until the amount of the reduction in the Base Rent has been determined, Tenant shall continue to pay Landlord the Base Rent provided for herein. Upon determination of the reduction in Base Rent, Tenant shall be entitled to credit the amount by which any Base Rent theretofore paid by Tenant for such period exceeds the amount of the Base Rent for such period as so reduced against the first installments of Base Rent thereafter payable under the Lease; provided, however, that if at the time of such determination the Term has ended or such credit exceeds the amount of all future installments of Base Rent payable hereunder, Landlord shall pay to Tenant an amount equal to such excess upon demand. SECTION 14.07. RIGHTS TO APPEAR. Landlord, Tenant and any Mortgagee ------------- ---------------- shall have the right to participate in any condemnation proceeding for the purpose of protecting their rights hereunder, and in this connection, specifically and without limitation, to introduce evidence to establish the value of or damage to the Real Estate, the Leased Premises and/or the Improvements (or any part thereof). ARTICLE XV ---------- MORTGAGES --------- SECTION 15.01. FEE TITLE NOT SUBORDINATED. Nothing herein shall be ------------- -------------------------- deemed to constitute a subordination of Landlord's fee simple title in the Real Estate to any Mortgage or to require Landlord to execute any Mortgage or agreement or instrument or take any action to effect any such subordination. 39 SECTION 15.02. LEASEHOLD MORTGAGES. ------------- ------------------- (a) Without the requirement of any consent of Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to mortgage its entire interest under this Lease and in and to the Improvements. The execution and delivery of any such Mortgage shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment or transfer of this Lease, nor shall the holder of any such Mortgage be deemed (prior to a foreclosure judgment and the taking of possession as hereinafter provided) an assignee or transferee of this Lease so as to require such holder to assume the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of the execution and delivery of a Mortgage meeting the requirements of this Section 15.02 and shall furnish it with conformed copies thereof. (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, no purchaser or transferee at any foreclosure sale or other transfer authorized by law or this Lease shall acquire any right, title or interest in or to this Lease, the Leased Premises or the Improvements unless (i) said purchaser or transferee shall, in the instrument transferring the same or immediately after acquiring the same, assume and agree to keep, observe and perform all of the terms, covenants and provisions of this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be kept, observed and performed (including the obligation to cure defaults arising prior to such assumption curable by the payment of money or otherwise reasonably susceptible of being cured) and shall therein agree that no further or additional mortgage or assignment of this Lease shall be made, except as provided in this Article XIV and (ii) a duplicate-original of said assumption agreement, duly executed and acknowledged by said purchaser or transferee, shall be delivered to Landlord promptly following the consummation of such sale or transfer. SECTION 15.03. NOTICES AND RIGHTS ON TENANT'S DEFAULT. If Tenant or ------------- --------------------------------------- a Mortgagee shall provide to Landlord a copy of any such Mortgage, together with written notice specifying the name and address of the Mortgagee, Landlord agrees that so long as any such Mortgage shall remain unsatisfied of record or until written notice of satisfaction is given by the Mortgagee to Landlord, the provisions of this Article XV shall apply. Following any such notification specifying the name and address of a Mortgagee: (a) Landlord shall give such Mortgagee notice of each notice given to Tenant under this Lease (such notice to be given in the same manner as provided in the following Article XXV for notices to a party to this Lease) at such Mortgagee's last address for notice provided to Landlord as provided above. No such notice to Tenant shall be effective unless notice thereof is so given to all such Mortgagee(s). 40 Landlord shall have no obligation to give notice to a Mortgagee at any address other than such Mortgagee's last address for notice provided to Landlord. (b) Such Mortgagee(s) shall have the right, until forty-five (45) days after the later of (i) expiration of Tenant's applicable cure period, or (ii) receipt of its copy of any such notice as is given to Tenant, to remedy or cause to be remedied the Event of Default which is the basis of the notice; and Landlord shall accept performance by such Mortgagee as performance by Tenant. (c) In case of an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, other than an Event of Default susceptible of being cured solely by the payment of money, Landlord shall take no action to effect a termination of this Lease by service of a notice or otherwise without first giving to such Mortgagee(s) a reasonable time, under prevailing circumstances, within which either: (i) to obtain possession of the Leased Premises and Improvements (including possession by a receiver) and to cure such Event of Default, in the case of an Event of Default that is susceptible of being cured when such Mortgagee has obtained possession of the Leased Premises and Improvements; or (ii) to institute and complete foreclosure proceedings or otherwise acquire Tenant's estate under this Lease, in the case of an Event of Default which is not so susceptible of being cured by such Mortgagee upon obtaining possession. The provisions of this clause (c) of this Section 15.03 are conditioned on the Mortgagee delivering to Landlord, within the forty-five (45) day period specified in clause (b) above, an instrument agreeing that it will attempt with due diligence to obtain possession of the Leased Premises and Improvements, and that upon obtaining possession of the Leased Premises and Improvements, whether through foreclosure or otherwise, it will cure such Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Article XVIII). (d) Such Mortgagee shall not be required to continue possession or continue foreclosure proceedings under clause (c) of this Section if the particular Event of Default has been cured. (e) Landlord's right to terminate this Lease by reason of any Event of Default described in Article XVIII shall end, with respect to such Event of Default, on the date such Mortgagee or any purchaser at the foreclosure sale or by assignment in lieu thereof shall obtain possession of the Leased Premises as successor to Tenant (whether or not under a new lease); provided that Landlord has not, prior to such date, validly exercised its right to terminate this Lease, and provided that any purchaser or transferee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu thereof complies with the provisions of Section 15.02(b). (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Landlord shall purport to terminate this Lease for any reason prior to the last day of 41 the Term, Landlord shall enter into a new lease for the Leased Premises with any Mortgagee, or its designee, for the remainder of what would have been the Term of this Lease in the absence of such purported termination, effective as of the date and time of such purported termination, at the Rent and upon the same terms, covenants and conditions contained herein, and Landlord, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of such new lease, shall assign and turn over to the tenant named therein the monies and subleases, if any, then being held by Landlord pursuant to this Lease, which Tenant would have been entitled to but for such purported termination, and said new tenant shall assume such subleases without recourse to Landlord, provided that: (i) such Mortgagee shall make written request for such new lease within sixty (60) days after the date of such purported termination; and (ii) such Mortgagee shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord on the commencement date of the term of the new lease, all installments of Rent that at such time are or would have been due and unpaid through such commencement date under this Lease but for such purported termination and shall cure all uncured Events of Default of Tenant under this Lease that are curable by the payment of money or otherwise reasonably susceptible of being cured by such Mortgagee; and shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord on that date all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, reasonable management fees and court costs and disbursements incurred by Landlord in connection with any such default and purported termination as well as in connection with the execution and delivery of such new lease, less the net income collected by Landlord from the date of such purported termination of this Lease to the commencement date of such new lease, any excess of such net income over the total of said sums and expenses to be applied by Landlord to the payment of the Rent thereafter becoming due under such new lease. In the event two or more Mortgagees each exercise their rights hereunder and there is a conflict that renders it impossible to comply with all such requests, the Mortgagee whose leasehold Mortgage would be senior in priority if there were a foreclosure shall prevail. If all of the foregoing conditions shall be satisfied, the purported termination shall be deemed ineffective and void ab initio, so that the new lease shall be -- ------ deemed to be a continuation of this Lease for all purposes under applicable law. If such conditions shall not be met, the Lease shall be deemed to have terminated upon the expiration of the sixty (60) day period provided for in the foregoing clause (i) of this paragraph (f). 42 (g) In the event any Mortgagee pays any Rent or other sums due hereunder which relate to periods other than during its actual ownership of the leasehold estate, such Mortgagee shall be subrogated to any and all rights which Tenant may assert against Landlord with respect to such period for which such Rent or other sums were paid. (h) No surrender or cancellation of this Lease (other than a termination by Landlord in compliance with the conditions of this Article XV) shall be effective without written approval of the Mortgagee(s); nor shall the acquisition of both the fee and leasehold estates in the Leased Premises in one entity be deemed to effect a merger thereof without the express written consent of the owner/lessee and all Mortgagees at the time said fee and leasehold estates are so acquired by one entity. SECTION 15.04. NO OBLIGATION TO CURE. Nothing herein contained shall ------------- --------------------- require any Mortgagee to cure or undertake to cure any default of Tenant, unless and until such Mortgagee elects to exercise any right under Section 15.03 as to which such cure or undertaking to cure is a condition. SECTION 15.05. MODIFICATION OF LEASE. If in connection with ------------- --------------------- obtaining a Mortgage from a prospective Mortgagee, such Mortgagee shall request reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to the making of such Mortgage Loan, Landlord will execute an agreement in recordable form so modifying this Lease, provided that such modifications do not adversely affect Landlord hereunder. SECTION 15.06. EXCLUSION. The rights contained in this Article XV ------------- --------- and elsewhere in this Lease with respect to Mortgagees shall not apply to any Mortgagee who shall fail to give Landlord written notice of its identity and address. SECTION 15.07. NOTICES TO LANDLORD. Tenant shall provide to Landlord ------------- ------------------- written notice of any material default by Tenant as to which Tenant receives notice pursuant to any Mortgage; and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to obtain the agreement of any Mortgagee to accept any cure tendered by Landlord (without obligation of Landlord to undertake any such cure) of any such material Mortgage default. 43 ARTICLE XVI ----------- SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE -------------------- In addition to any other rights that Tenant or Landlord may have under this Lease, if the other fails or refuses to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument or instruments or to take any other action (other than an action solely involving the payment of any sum of money) required to effectuate the provisions of this Lease within the time period required by this Lease or, if no time period therefor is specified in this Lease, within any reasonable time period specified in any request from the other party, then from and after the date fifteen (15) days after the date of delivery of a final written demand to the other party requesting such execution, acknowledgment and delivery or other action, the requesting party shall be entitled to specific performance, declaratory relief, or such other remedies at law or equity which may be appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this Lease. ARTICLE XVII ------------ LANDLORD'S RIGHT OF ENTRY ------------------------- Tenant shall permit Landlord and its authorized representatives, upon reasonable prior notice, to enter the Leased Premises and Improvements for the purpose of (a) inspecting the same, (b) showing the same to prospective purchaser's of Landlord's title to the Leased Premises or to prospective tenant's of the Leased Premises, or (c) performing any work in the Leased Premises that may be necessary by reason of Tenant's failure to perform any such work or to commence the same within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord (or without notice in case of emergency). Nothing herein shall imply any duty on the part of Landlord to do any such work, and performance thereof by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default in failing to perform the same. Landlord shall not be liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business or other damage to Tenant or any subtenant or licensee of Tenant by reason of performing any such work, and the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not be affected thereby. ARTICLE XVIII ------------- DEFAULTS -------- SECTION 18.01. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following events, if ------------- ----------------- not remedied as hereinafter provided, shall be deemed an "Event of Default": (a) The occurrence of any event set forth in Article XX, as therein provided; 44 (b) Tenant's failure to pay any installment of Rent within thirty (30) days of the due date thereof; (c) Tenant's failure to perform any other covenant or agreement herein contained on Tenant's part to be kept or performed and the continuance of such failure for a period of thirty (30) days after notice in writing to Tenant from Landlord specifying the nature of such failure; (d) Tenant obtains a License for Switzerland County, Indiana and such License shall be cancelled, terminated or revoked or shall have expired and not be renewed, and Tenant shall not have assigned this Lease with the consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to any other person or entity that holds a License for Switzerland County, Indiana within one (1) year after the date of such cancellation, termination, revocation or expiration; or (e) In the event Tenant abandons its efforts to obtain the License. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord may, at its option, give to Tenant a written notice of its election to end the Term of this Lease upon a date specified in such notice, which date shall be not less than forty-five (45) days after the date of delivery to Tenant of such notice by Landlord. Simultaneously with the sending of any notice of default or termination to Tenant, Landlord shall send a copy of such notice to Mortgagees, as required by Section 15.03. SECTION 18.02. EXTENSIONS. If Landlord gives notice at any time of a ------------- ---------- default of a nature that cannot be cured within the thirty (30) day period provided in Section 18.01(c), then such default shall not be deemed an Event of Default so long as Tenant, following notice from Landlord, proceeds to cure the default as soon as reasonably possible and continues to take all reasonable steps necessary to complete the same within a period of time which, under all prevailing circumstances, shall be reasonable. In addition, no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred if and so long as Tenant shall be delayed in or prevented from curing the same within the applicable cure period by Unavoidable Delay. SECTION 18.03. REMEDIES. Upon any Event of Default pursuant to ------------- -------- Section 18.01, or at any time thereafter so long as the same is not cured, Landlord may, in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies Landlord shall have under this Lease or at law or in equity, (a) cure any such Event of Default and collect the cost thereof from Tenant upon demand or (b) reenter the Leased Premises and Improvements and recover possession thereof (subject in each case to the rights of Mortgagees provided in Article XV) in the manner prescribed by law, or (c) terminate this Lease.

During any period of possession hereunder, Landlord, at Landlord's option, may complete such construction, alterations, repairs, and/or replacements of in the Leased Premises and Improvements as Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, considers advisable and necessary; and the making of such alterations, repairs and/or replacements shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder.
