PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview

Churchill Downs Incorporated ("CDI" or the "Company") has been creating extraordinary entertainment experiences for nearly 150 years, beginning with the Company’s most iconic and enduring
asset, the Kentucky Derby. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, CDI has expanded through the development of live and historical racing entertainment venues, the growth of the TwinSpires horse
racing online wagering business and the operation and development of regional casino gaming properties.

Business Segments
The Company manages its business through three reportable segments: Live and Historical Racing, TwinSpires, and Gaming. Financial information about these segments is set forth in Part II, Item 8.
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, contained within this Report. In the first quarter of 2022, we updated our operating segments to reflect the internal management reporting used by our
chief operating decision maker to evaluate results of operations and to assess performance and allocate resources. During the first quarter of 2022, our chief operating decision maker decided to
include the results of our United Tote business in the TwinSpires segment as we evolve our strategy to integrate the United Tote offering with TwinSpires Horse Racing, which we believe will create
additional business-to-business revenue opportunities. The prior year results in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) conform to this presentation. Further
discussion of segment financial information, and our planned investments in segment properties, is set forth in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contained within this Report.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, we updated our operating segments to reflect the geographies in which we operate. This change is consistent with the internal management reporting used by our
chief operating decision maker to evaluate results of operations and to assess performance and allocate resources. Our internal management reporting changed primarily due to the continued growth
of our business, which resulted in our chief operating decision maker's desire to review the results of the Company on a geographical basis within each reportable segment. The commentary within
Management’s Discussion and Analysis has been updated to conform to this change.
Live and Historical Racing
The Live and Historical Racing segment includes live and historical pari-mutuel racing related revenue and expenses at Churchill Downs Racetrack and our historical racing properties in Kentucky,
Virginia, and New Hampshire.
Our Live and Historical Racing properties earn commissions primarily from pari-mutuel wagering on live and historical races, simulcast fees earned from other wagering sites, fees from racing event-
related services including admissions, personal seat licenses, sponsorships, television rights, and other miscellaneous services, and revenue from food and beverage services.
Churchill Downs Racetrack
Churchill Downs Racetrack is in Louisville, Kentucky and is an internationally known thoroughbred racing operation best known as the home of our iconic flagship event, the Kentucky Derby. We
have conducted thoroughbred racing continuously at Churchill Downs Racetrack since 1875. The Kentucky Derby is the longest continuously held annual sporting event in the U.S. and is the first
race of the annual series of races for 3-year-old thoroughbreds known as the Triple Crown. The demographic profile of our guests, global television viewership and long-running nature of this iconic
event are attractive to sponsors and corporate partners, especially those with luxury and/or marquee brands.
We conducted 65 live race days in 2020, 71 live race days in 2021 and 76 live race days in 2022. In 2023, we anticipate conducting up to 79 live race days.
Churchill Downs Racetrack is located on 175 acres and has a one-mile dirt track, a 7/8-mile turf track, a stabling area, and a variety of areas, structures, and buildings that provide reserved seating for
approximately 59,000 of our patrons. Churchill Downs Racetrack has one of the largest 4K video boards in the world sitting 80 feet above the ground and measuring 171 feet wide by 90 feet tall. This
video board provides views of the finish line and the entire race for on-track guests, including those in the infield and guests along the entire front side of the racetrack. The facility also has permanent
lighting to accommodate night races. We have a saddling paddock, and the stable area has barns sufficient to accommodate 1,400 horses and a 114-room dormitory for backstretch personnel. We have
a state-of-the-art equine medical center and quarantine barns on the backside area of Churchill Downs Racetrack which reinforces our ongoing commitment to equine safety and supports our long-
term international growth strategy. The Churchill Downs Racetrack facility also includes a simulcast wagering facility. We also own 83 acres of land at our auxiliary training facility, which is five
miles from Churchill Downs Racetrack.
In 2002, we transferred title of the Churchill Downs Racetrack facility to the City of Louisville, Kentucky and entered into a 30-year lease for the facility as part of the financing of improvements to
the Churchill Downs Racetrack facility. We can reacquire the facility at any time for $1.00 subject to the terms of the lease.

4
In July 2021, we announced three major multi-year capital investments to transform key areas of Churchill Downs Racetrack: The Homestretch Club, the First Turn Experience, and the Paddock
Project. The Company invested $36.0 million in the new Homestretch Club which opened for the 148th Kentucky Derby in May 2022. The Homestretch Club project converted 5,200 outdoor
bleacher seats into 3,250 premium reserved seats with all-inclusive amenities. The new premium reserved seats include 2,550 stadium club seats, 66 covered terraced dining tables for up to 440
guests, 30 Trackside Lounges for up to 200 guests offering a "courtside seat" experience, five private 60-person VIP Hospitality Lounges as upgrades and an 18,600 square-foot indoor hospitality
space with a grand staircase and 95-foot feature bar.
The Company is investing $90.0 million in the First Turn Experience. The First Turn Experience will provide additional permanent stadium seating and a new track-level hospitality club replacing
current temporary Oaks and Derby seating at the first turn of the racetrack. We plan to replace 3,400 temporary seats with 5,100 permanent covered stadium seats and a new 50,000 square-foot
climate-controlled hospitality venue with reserved dining room tables, a trackside viewing terrace, and two new seating concourses to allow for better guest circulation and amenities for an
incremental 2,000 reserved seats. The First Turn Experience is scheduled for completion for the 149th Kentucky Derby in May 2023.
The Company is also investing up to $200.0 million in a Paddock Project to enhance the experience for nearly every guest. The redesigned area will improve the flow of guests throughout the
paddock. The Paddock Project will create a larger paddock walking ring for viewing the horses prior to the races, a new Paddock Club in the area on the first floor under the Twin Spires that will
provide views of the paddock and views of the tunnel that the horses walk through, new hospitality and other amenities for guests in certain areas of the third floor clubhouse seats, and new terraces
overlooking the paddock. The new Paddock Project is scheduled for completion for the 150th Kentucky Derby in May 2024.

TwinSpires is one of the largest and most profitable legal online horse racing wagering platforms in the U.S. TwinSpires accepts pari-mutuel wagers through advance deposit wagering ("ADW") from
customers residing in certain states who establish and fund an account from which these customers may place wagers via telephone, mobile applications or through the Internet. This business is

We announced two of these business-to-business agreements in 2022. On September 8, 2022, we announced a multi-year agreement to enable FanDuel, a sportsbook and mobile betting operator, to
create a fully integrated and seamless wagering experience with a single wallet for horse racing and sports with exclusive TV rights to racing content and non-exclusive Kentucky Derby sponsorship

exited the direct online Sports and Casino business during 2022 in every state except Pennsylvania and Arizona. We executed strategic market access agreements with Bet365 in Pennsylvania and
with Golden Nugget in Indiana to monetize our online wagering skins beginning in 2023.
United Tote
United Tote manufactures and operates pari-mutuel wagering systems for racetracks, OTBs and other pari-mutuel wagering businesses. United Tote provides totalisator services which accumulate
wagers, calculate payoffs and displays wagering data to patrons who wager on horse races. United Tote has contracts to provide totalisator services to several third-party racetracks, OTBs and other
pari-mutuel wagering businesses and provides these services at our facilities. On August 11, 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell 49% of United Tote, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company to NYRA Content Management Solutions, LLC, a subsidiary of the New York Racing Association ("NYRA"). NYRA is a not-for-profit corporation that operates the three largest
thoroughbred horse racing tracks in the state of New York. The transaction is subject to usual and customary closing conditions, including applicable regulatory notices and approvals, and is expected
to close during the first half of 2023.

Competition
Overview
We operate in a highly competitive industry with many participants, some of which have financial and other resources that are greater than ours. The industry faces competition from a variety of
sources for discretionary consumer spending, including spectator sports, sports wagering and other entertainment and gaming options. Our brick-and-mortar casinos compete with traditional and
Native American casinos, VLTs, state-sponsored lotteries, and other forms of legalized gaming in the U.S. and other jurisdictions.
Legalized gambling is currently permitted in various forms in many states and Canada. Other jurisdictions could legalize gambling in the future, and established gaming jurisdictions could award
additional gaming licenses or permit the expansion of existing gaming operations. If additional gaming opportunities become available near our racing or gaming operations, such gaming operations
could have a material adverse impact on our business.
In May 2018, the United States Supreme Court struck down the 1992 Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, which had effectively banned sports wagering in most states. Removal of the
ban gives states the authority to authorize sports wagering.
Live and Historical Racing
In 2022 and 2021, approximately 34,000 thoroughbred horse races were conducted in the U.S. As a racetrack operator, we compete for horses with other racetracks running live racing meets at or
near the same time as our races. Our ability to compete is substantially dependent on the racing calendar, number of horses racing and purse sizes. As a content provider, we compete for wagering
dollars in the simulcast market with other racetracks conducting races at or near the same times as our races. In recent years, competition has increased as more states legalize gaming and allow slot
machines at racetracks with mandatory purse contributions. Our HRM entertainment venues in Kentucky, Virginia, and New Hampshire compete with regional casinos in the area and other forms of
legal and illegal gaming.
TwinSpires
Horse Racing
Our TwinSpires Horse Racing business competes with other ADW businesses for both customers and racing content, as well as brick-and-mortar racetracks, casinos, OTBs, and other forms of legal
and illegal sports betting.
Sports and Casino
Our TwinSpires Sports and Casino business competes for customers with retail, mobile and online offerings from commercial brick-and-mortar casinos and racetracks. We also compete with daily
fantasy sports gaming companies that are expanding into mobile and online sports betting and iGaming, international sports betting businesses looking to expand into the U.S. market, and other forms
of legal and illegal sports betting and iGaming operations.

9
Gaming
Our Gaming properties operate in highly competitive environments and primarily compete for customers with other casinos in the surrounding regional gaming markets. Our Gaming properties
compete to a lesser extent with state-sponsored lotteries, off-track wagering, card parlors, online gambling, and other forms of legalized gaming in the U.S.
Human Capital
We believe our human capital is material to our operations and core to the long-term success of our Company. Our focus is on attracting innovative and collaborative team members who want to build
their skills in a successful and growing set of businesses focused on creating unique experiences for our guests.
Our People
As of December 31, 2022, we had a total of approximately 7,000 team members, of which 5,500 are full-time employees. As of December 31, 2022, the Live and Historical Racing segment had
approximately 2,410 team members, the TwinSpires segment had 410 team members, and the Gaming segment had 3,900 team members. Nearly three-quarters of the Live and Historical Racing
segment team members are full-time employees and nearly all the TwinSpires and Gaming segment team members are full-time employees. The Company’s corporate staff consists of approximately
270 employees, approximately 260 of which are full-time. The number of seasonal employees fluctuates significantly through the course of the year primarily due to the seasonal nature of our
businesses. We have the highest level of seasonal team members during the second quarter when we traditionally run the Kentucky Derby.
As of December 31, 2022, approximately 770 full-time employees were covered by 19 collective bargaining agreements. We have experienced no material interruptions of operations due to disputes
with our team members.
Diversity and Inclusion
We believe that a diverse workforce fosters innovation and cultivates a high-performance culture that leverages the unique perspectives of every team member to profitably grow our businesses. The
Company’s Board of Directors and executive management team includes diverse individuals based on gender and race. The Company benefits from the diverse experiences of our directors and
management that individually and collectively create a high-performance culture focused on executing our strategic priorities to protect and grow our businesses effectively and efficiently.
We believe diversity and inclusion helps the Company attract the best talent to grow our businesses and enables our businesses to attract and delight customers and consumers. The Kentucky Derby is
a pillar of our community that provides the opportunity for our team members and the community to raise significant funding for charities that support important aspects of our broader communities
including fostering diversity and inclusion, food, shelter, education, and health related non-profits. The Company also provides donations to non-profit organizations that support these initiatives
within our communities.
Talent Acquisition, Development and Retention
We invest in attracting, developing, and retaining our team members. Our philosophy is to communicate a clear purpose and strategy, set challenging goals, drive accountability, continuously assess,
develop, and advance talent, and to embrace a leadership-driven talent strategy. Our Company enables team members to grow in their current roles as well as to have opportunities to build new skills
in other parts of the Company. We review talent and succession plans with our Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors periodically throughout the year. The process focuses on accelerating
talent development, strengthening succession pipelines, and advancing diversity in gender, race, and experience.
Compensation, Benefits, Safety and Wellness
We strive to offer market competitive salaries and wages for our team members, and we offer comprehensive health and retirement benefits to eligible employees. Our core health and welfare benefits
are supplemented with specific programs to manage or improve common health conditions and to provide a variety of voluntary benefits and paid time away from work programs. We also provide
several innovative programs designed to promote physical, emotional, and financial well-being. Our commitment to the safety of our employees, customers, and community remains a top priority,
and we have safety programs at all our properties to facilitate identification and implementation of safety practices.
Governmental Regulations and Potential Legislative Changes
We are subject to various federal, state, local, and international laws and regulations that affect our businesses. The ownership, operation, and management of our Live and Historical Racing,
TwinSpires, and Gaming segments are subject to regulation under the laws and regulations of each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our businesses and properties are also subject to
legislative actions at both the federal and state level.
Live and Historical Racing Regulations
Horse racing is a highly regulated industry. In the U.S., interstate pari-mutuel wagering on horse racing is subject to the Interstate Horseracing Act of 1978, as amended in 2000 ("IHA"). Under the
IHA, racetracks and ADWs can accept interstate off-track wagers if the racetracks and ADWs have approvals from (1) the host horse racetrack including a written agreement

10
with the horsemen’s group, if applicable, (2) the host racing commission, and (3) the off-track racing commission. If these requirements are met, racetracks can commingle wagers from different
racetracks and wagering facilities and broadcast horse racing events to other licensed establishments.
In the U.S., individual states regulate the operations of racetracks located within their respective jurisdictions with the intent to, among other things, protect the public from unfair and illegal gambling
practices, generate tax revenue, license racetracks and operators and prevent organized crime from being involved in the industry. Although the specific form may vary, states that regulate horse
racing generally do so through a horse racing commission or other gambling regulatory authority. In general, regulatory authorities perform background checks on all racetrack owners prior to
granting the necessary operating licenses. Horse owners, trainers, jockeys, drivers, stewards, judges, and backstretch personnel are also subject to licensing by governmental authorities.
The total number of days on which each racetrack conducts live racing may fluctuate annually based on applications and approvals.
Kentucky
In Kentucky, horse racing racetracks and HRM facilities are subject to the licensing and regulation of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission ("KHRC"). Licenses to conduct live thoroughbred and
standardbred racing meets, to participate in simulcasting, to operate HRM facilities, and to accept advance deposit wagers from Kentucky residents are approved annually by the KHRC based upon
applications submitted by the racetracks in Kentucky. Changes in Kentucky laws or regulations may limit or otherwise materially affect the types of HRMs that may be conducted and such changes, if
enacted, could have an adverse impact on our Kentucky HRM operations.
Louisiana
In Louisiana, the 2021 Historical Horse Racing Act ("2021 HHR Act") allows OTBs to have up to 50 HRMs. On October 25, 2022, a number of individual plaintiffs associated with video poker and
truckstops, filed a lawsuit in the 19th Judicial District Court in East Baton Rouge, Louisiana against certain racetracks in Louisiana, including Fair Grounds, alleging that the 2021 HHR Act is
unconstitutional to the extent it purports to permit historical racing in a parish without a referendum. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately 340 HRMs in OTBs in Louisiana. If
the 2021 HHR Act is determined to be unconstitutional it could have an adverse impact on our Louisiana HRM results which are reported in our Gaming segment.
TwinSpires Regulations and Potential Legislative Changes
TwinSpires is licensed in Oregon under a multi-jurisdictional simulcasting and interactive wagering totalisator hub license issued by the Oregon Racing Commission in accordance with Oregon law
and the IHA. We also hold advance deposit wagering licenses in certain other states where appropriate. Changes in the form of new legislation or regulatory activity at the state or federal level could
adversely impact our mobile and online ADW business.
Sports Betting and iGaming Regulations and Potential Legislative Changes
In May 2018, the United States Supreme Court struck down the 1992 Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, which had effectively banned sports wagering in most states. Removal of the
ban gave states the authority to authorize sports wagering. Thirty-three states have authorized sports betting and thirty of these states have sports betting operational as of December 31, 2022. Each
state has different structures for the number of allowable industry participants, license fees, taxes, and other operational requirements.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company is operational in nine states for retail sports betting, two states for online sports betting, and one state for iGaming.
Gaming Regulations and Potential Legislative Changes
The gaming industry is a highly regulated industry. In the U.S., gaming laws are generally designed to protect consumers and the viability and integrity of the industry. Gaming laws may also be
designed to protect and maximize state and local revenue derived through taxes and licensing fees imposed on industry participants as well as to enhance economic development and tourism. To
accomplish these public policy goals, gaming laws establish procedures to ensure that participants in the industry meet certain standards of character and fitness. Gaming laws require industry
participants to:
• Ensure that unsuitable individuals and organizations have no role in gaming operations,
• Establish procedures designed to prevent cheating and fraudulent practices,
• Establish and maintain responsible accounting practices and procedures,
• Maintain effective controls over financial practices, including establishment of minimum procedures for internal fiscal affairs and the safeguarding of assets and revenue,

11
 • Maintain systems for reliable record keeping,
• File periodic reports with gaming regulators,
• Ensure that contracts and financial transactions are commercially reasonable, reflect fair market value and are arms-length transactions,
• Establish programs to promote responsible gambling and inform patrons of the availability of help for problem gambling, and
• Enforce minimum age requirements.
A state regulatory environment is established by statute and administered by a regulatory agency with broad discretion to regulate the affairs of owners, managers and persons with financial interests
in gaming operations. Gaming authorities in the various jurisdictions in which we operate:
• Adopt rules and regulations under the implementing statutes,
• Interpret and enforce gaming laws,
• Impose disciplinary sanctions for violations, including fines and penalties,
• Review the character and fitness of participants in gaming operations and make determinations regarding suitability or qualification for licensure,
• Grant licenses for participation in gaming operations,
• Collect and review reports and information submitted by participants in gaming operations,
• Review and approve transactions, such as acquisitions or change-of-control transactions of gaming industry participants, securities offerings and debt transactions engaged in by such
participants, and
• Establish and collect fees and taxes.
Any change in the gaming laws or regulations of a jurisdiction could have a material adverse impact on our gaming operations.
Licensing and Suitability Determinations
Gaming laws require us, each of our subsidiaries engaged in gaming operations, certain of our directors, officers and employees, and in some cases, certain of our shareholders, to obtain licenses from
gaming authorities. Licenses typically require a determination that the applicant qualifies or is suitable to hold the license. Gaming authorities have very broad discretion in determining whether an
applicant qualifies for licensing or should be deemed suitable. Criteria used in determining whether to grant a license to conduct gaming operations, while varying between jurisdictions, generally
include consideration of factors such as the good character, honesty and integrity of the applicant; the financial stability, integrity and responsibility of the applicant, including whether the operation is
adequately capitalized in the state and exhibits the ability to maintain adequate insurance levels; the quality of the applicant’s gaming facilities; the amount of revenue to be derived by the applicable
state from the operation of the applicant’s gaming facility; the applicant’s practices with respect to minority hiring and training; and the effect on competition and general impact on the community.
In evaluating individual applicants, gaming authorities consider the individual’s business experience and reputation for good character, the individual’s criminal history and the character of those with
whom the individual associates.
Many gaming jurisdictions limit the number of licenses granted to operate gaming facilities within the state and some states limit the number of licenses granted to any one gaming operator. Licenses
under gaming laws are generally not transferable without approval. Licenses in most of the jurisdictions in which we conduct gaming operations are granted for limited durations and require renewal
from time to time. There can be no assurance that any of our licenses will be renewed. The failure to renew any of our licenses could have a material adverse impact on our gaming operations.
Gaming authorities may investigate any subsidiary engaged in gaming operations and may investigate any individual who has a material relationship to or material involvement with any of these
entities to determine whether such individual is suitable or should be licensed as a business associate of a gaming licensee. Our officers, directors and certain key employees must file applications
with the gaming authorities and may be required to be licensed, qualify or be found suitable in many jurisdictions. Gaming authorities may deny an application for licensing for any cause that they
deem reasonable. Qualification and suitability determinations require submission of detailed personal and financial information followed by a thorough investigation. Changes in licensed positions
must be reported to gaming authorities. Gaming authorities have the ability to deny a license, qualification or finding of suitability and have jurisdiction to disapprove a change in a corporate position.

12
If one or more gaming authorities were to find that an officer, director or key employee fails to qualify or is unsuitable for licensing or unsuitable to continue having a relationship with us, we would
be required to sever all relationships with such person. Gaming authorities may also require us to terminate the employment of any person who refuses to file appropriate applications.
In many jurisdictions, certain of our shareholders may be required to undergo a suitability investigation similar to that described above. Many jurisdictions require any person who acquires beneficial
ownership of more than a certain percentage of our voting securities, typically 5%, to report the acquisition to gaming authorities, and may be required to apply for qualification or a finding of
suitability. Most gaming authorities, however, allow an "institutional investor" to apply for a waiver.
Any person who fails or refuses to apply for a finding of suitability or a license within the prescribed period after being advised it is required by gaming authorities may be denied a license or found
unsuitable, as applicable. Any shareholder found unsuitable or denied a license and who holds, directly or indirectly, any beneficial ownership of our voting securities beyond such period of time as
may be prescribed by the applicable gaming authorities may be guilty of a criminal offense. We may be subject to disciplinary action if, after we receive notice that a person is unsuitable to be a
shareholder or to have any other relationship with us or any of our subsidiaries, we:
(i) pay that person any dividend or interest upon our voting securities,
(ii) allow that person to exercise, directly or indirectly, any voting right conferred through securities held by that person,
(iii) pay remuneration in any form to that person for services rendered or otherwise, or
(iv) fail to pursue all lawful efforts to require such unsuitable person to relinquish voting securities including, if necessary, the immediate purchase of said voting securities for cash at fair
market value.
Violations of Gaming Laws
If we violate applicable gaming laws, our gaming licenses could be limited, conditioned, suspended or revoked by gaming authorities, and we and any other persons involved could be subject to
substantial fines. A supervisor or conservator can be appointed by gaming authorities to operate our gaming properties, or in some jurisdictions, take title to our gaming assets in the jurisdiction, and
under certain circumstances, income generated during such appointment could be forfeited to the applicable state or states. Violations of laws in one jurisdiction could result in disciplinary action in
other jurisdictions. As a result, violations by us of applicable gaming laws could have a material adverse impact on our gaming operations.
Some jurisdictions prohibit certain types of political activity by a gaming licensee, officers, directors and key employees. A violation of such a prohibition may subject the offender to criminal and/or
disciplinary action.
Reporting and Record-keeping Requirements
We are required periodically to submit detailed financial and operating reports and furnish any other information that gaming authorities may require. Under federal law, we are required to record and
submit detailed reports of currency transactions involving greater than $10,000 at our gaming facilities and racetracks as well as any suspicious activity that may occur at such facilities. Failure to
comply with these requirements could result in fines or cessation of operations. We are required to maintain a current stock ledger that may be examined by gaming authorities at any time. If any
securities are held in trust by an agent or by a nominee, the record holder may be required to disclose the identity of the beneficial owner to gaming authorities. A failure to make such disclosure may
be grounds for finding the record holder unsuitable. Gaming authorities may require certificates for our securities to bear a legend indicating that the securities are subject to specified gaming laws.
Review and Approval of Transactions
Substantially all material loans, leases, sales of securities and similar financing transactions must be reported to and in some cases approved by gaming authorities. We may not make a public offering
of securities without the prior approval of certain gaming authorities. Changes in control through merger, consolidation, stock or asset acquisitions, management or consulting agreements, or
otherwise are subject to receipt of prior approval of gaming authorities. Entities seeking to acquire control of us or one of our subsidiaries must satisfy gaming authorities with respect to a variety of
stringent standards prior to assuming control. Gaming authorities may also require controlling shareholders, officers, directors and other persons having a material relationship or involvement with the
entity proposing to acquire control, to be investigated and licensed as part of the approval process relating to the transaction.
License Fees and Gaming Taxes
We pay substantial license fees and taxes in many jurisdictions in connection with our gaming operations which are computed in various ways depending on the type of gambling or activity involved.
Depending upon the particular fee or tax involved, these fees and taxes are payable with varying frequency. License fees and taxes are based upon such factors as a percentage of

13
the gaming revenue received; the number of gambling devices and table games operated; or a one-time fee payable upon the initial receipt of license and fees in connection with the renewal of
license. In some jurisdictions, casino tax rates are graduated such that the tax rates increase as gaming revenue increases. Tax rates are subject to change, sometimes with little notice, and such
changes could have a material adverse impact on our gaming operations.
Operational Requirements
In most jurisdictions, we are subject to certain requirements and restrictions on how we must conduct our gaming operations. In certain states, we are required to give preference to local suppliers and
include minority and women-owned businesses and organized labor in construction projects to the maximum extent practicable. We may be required to give employment preference to minorities,
women and in-state residents in certain jurisdictions. Our ability to conduct certain types of games, introduce new games or move existing games within our facilities may be restricted or subject to
regulatory review and approval. Some of our operations are subject to restrictions on the number of gaming positions we may have, and the maximum wagers allowed to be placed by our customers.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that govern activities that may have adverse environmental effects, such as discharges to air and water, as well as
the management and disposal of solid, animal and hazardous wastes and exposure to hazardous materials. These laws and regulations, which are complex and subject to change, include the United
States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and state laws and regulations that address the impacts of manure and wastewater generated by Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations ("CAFO")
on water quality, including, but not limited to, storm and sanitary water discharges. CAFO and other water discharge regulations include permit requirements and water quality discharge standards.
Enforcement of these regulations has been receiving increased governmental attention. Compliance with these and other environmental laws can, in some circumstances, require significant capital
expenditures. We may incur future costs under existing and new laws and regulations pertaining to storm water and wastewater management at our racetracks. Violations can result in significant
penalties and, in some instances, interruption or cessation of operations.
We also are subject to laws and regulations that create liability and cleanup responsibility for releases of hazardous substances into the environment. Under certain of these laws and regulations, a
current or previous owner or operator of property may be liable for the costs of remediating hazardous substances or petroleum products on its property, without regard to whether the owner or
operator knew of, or caused, the presence of the contaminants, and regardless of whether the practices that resulted in the contamination were legal at the time the contamination occurred. The
presence of, or failure to remediate properly, such substances may materially adversely affect the ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow funds using such property as collateral. The owner of
a property may be subject to claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the property.
Marks and Intellectual Property
We hold numerous state and federal service mark registrations on specific names and designs in various categories including the entertainment business, apparel, paper goods, printed matter,
housewares and glass. We license the use of these service marks and derive revenue from such license agreements.
Available Information
Our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements and other Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings, and any
amendments to those reports and any other filings that we file with or furnish to the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are made available free of charge on our website
(www.churchilldownsincorporated.com) as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file the materials with the SEC and are also available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described below, that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations,
cash flows, and the trading price of our common stock.
Economic and External Risks
Our business could be adversely affected by the occurrence of extraordinary events, such as terrorist attacks, public health threats, civil unrest, and inclement weather, including as a result of
climate change
Our operating results depend, in large part, on revenues derived from customers visiting our casinos and racetracks, which is subject to the occurrence and threat of extraordinary events that may
discourage attendance or expose us to substantial liability. Terrorist activity, including acts of domestic terrorism, civil unrest or other actions that discourage attendance at other locations, or even the
threat of such activity, including public concerns regarding air travel, military actions, safety and additional national or local catastrophic incidents, could result in reduced attendance at Churchill
Downs Racetrack and at our other locations. A major epidemic or pandemic, outbreak of a contagious equine disease, or the threat of such an event, could also adversely affect attendance and could
impact the supply chain for our major construction projects resulting in higher costs and delays of the projects. The COVID-19 global pandemic resulted in the temporary suspension of operations of
all of our wholly-owned gaming properties, certain wholly-owned racing operations, and the two casino properties related to our equity investments. While we are constantly evaluating our security
precautions in an effort to ensure the safety of the public, no security measures can guarantee safety and there can be no assurances of avoiding potential liabilities.
Since horse racing is conducted outdoors, unfavorable weather conditions, including extremely high and low temperatures, heavy rains, high winds, storms, tornadoes and hurricanes, could cause
events to be canceled and/or attendance to be lower, resulting in reduced wagering. Climate change could have an impact on longer-term natural weather trends. Extreme weather events that are
linked to rising temperatures, changing global weather patterns, sea, land and air temperatures, as well as sea levels, rain and snow could result in increased occurrence and severity of adverse
weather events. Our operations are subject to reduced patronage, disruptions or complete cessation of operations due to weather conditions, natural disasters and other casualties. The occurrence or
threat of any such extraordinary event at our locations, particularly at Churchill Downs Racetrack and Kentucky Derby and Oaks week, could have a material negative effect on our business and
results of operations.
Our business is sensitive to economic conditions which may affect consumer confidence, consumers’ discretionary spending, or our access to credit in a manner that adversely impacts our
operations
Economic trends can impact consumer confidence and consumers’ discretionary spending, including:
• Negative economic conditions and the persistence of elevated levels of unemployment can impact consumers’ disposable incomes and, therefore, impact the demand for entertainment and
leisure activities.
• Inflationary periods negatively impact consumers' discretionary income and could reduce the amount of income previously used for gaming and entertainment.
• Declines in the residential real estate market, increases in individual tax rates and other factors that we cannot accurately predict may reduce the disposable income of our customers.
• Decreases in consumer discretionary spending could affect us even if such decreases occur in other markets. For example, reduced wagering levels and profitability at racetracks from which
we carry racing content could cause certain racetracks to cancel races or cease operations and therefore reduce the content we could provide to our customers.
Lower consumer confidence or reductions in consumers’ discretionary spending could result in fewer patrons spending money at our racetracks, our online wagering sites and gaming and wagering
facilities, and reduced consumer spending overall.
Our access to and the cost of credit may be impacted to the extent global and U.S. credit markets are affected by downward economic trends. Economic trends can also impact the financial viability
of other industry constituents, making collection of amounts owed to us uncertain. Our ability to respond to periods of economic contraction may be limited, as certain of our costs remain fixed or
even increase when revenue declines.
We are vulnerable to additional or increased taxes and fees
We believe that the prospect of raising significant additional revenue through taxes and fees is one of the primary reasons that certain jurisdictions permit legalized gaming. As a result, gaming
companies are typically subject to significant taxes and fees in addition to the normal federal, state, provincial and local income taxes and such taxes and fees may be increased at any time. From time
to time, legislators and officials have proposed changes in tax laws or in the administration of laws affecting the horse racing, online wagering and casino industries. Many states and municipalities,
including ones in which we operate, are currently experiencing budgetary pressures that may make it more likely they would seek to impose additional taxes and fees on our operations. We are
subject to tax in multiple U.S. tax jurisdictions and judgment is required in determining our provision

15
for income taxes, deferred tax assets or liabilities and in evaluating our tax positions. It is not possible to determine the likelihood, extent or impact of any future changes in tax laws or fees, or
changes in the administration of such laws; however, if enacted, such changes could have a material adverse impact on our business.
The current novel coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic has adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition and financial results. Other major
public health issues could adversely affect our business, financial condition and financial results in the future
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. Considerable uncertainty still surrounds the continued effects of the COVID-19 virus, including
the emergence of variant strains, and the extent of and effectiveness of responses taken on international, national and local levels. The long-term impact of COVID-19 on the U.S. and world
economies and continued impact on our business remains uncertain, the duration and scope of which cannot currently be predicted.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken by national, state, and local authorities in response have adversely affected and could in the future materially adversely impact the Company's
business, results of operations, and financial condition. Our operating results depend, in large part, on revenues derived from customers visiting our casinos and racetracks. During the course of the
pandemic, we experienced temporary suspension of operations of all of our wholly-owned gaming properties, certain wholly-owned racing operations, and the two casino properties related to our
equity investments. The introduction of vaccine and facemask mandates in certain locations also impacted the number of customers visiting our properties.
The Company continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation and take appropriate actions in accordance with the recommendations and requirements of relevant authorities. The extent to which the
COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Company's long-term operational and financial performance remains uncertain and will depend on many factors outside the Company's control, including the
timing, extent, trajectory, and duration of the pandemic, the emergence of new variants, the development, availability, distribution, and effectiveness of vaccines and treatments, the imposition of
protective public safety measures, and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy.
Strategic Risks
A lack of confidence in the integrity of our core businesses or any deterioration in our reputation could affect our ability to retain our customers and engage with new customers
Horse racing, pari-mutuel wagering, and casino gaming businesses depend on the public perception of integrity and fairness in their operations. To prevent cheating or erroneous payouts, necessary
oversight processes must be in place to ensure that such activities cannot be manipulated. A lack or loss of confidence in the fairness of our industries could have a material adverse impact on our
business.
Acts of fraud or cheating in our gaming businesses through the use of counterfeit chips, covert schemes and other tactics, possibly in collusion with our employees, may be attempted or committed by
our gaming customers with the aim of increasing their winnings. Our gaming customers, visitors and employees may also commit crimes such as theft in order to obtain chips not belonging to them.
We have taken measures to safeguard our interests including the implementation of systems, processes and technologies to mitigate against these risks, extensive employee training, surveillance,
security and investigation operations and adoption of appropriate security features on our chips such as embedded radio frequency identification tags. Despite our efforts, we may not be successful in
preventing or detecting such culpable behavior and schemes in a timely manner and the relevant insurance we have obtained may not be sufficient to cover our losses depending on the incident,
which could result in losses to our gaming operations and generate negative publicity, both of which could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations and cash flows.
Other factors that could influence our reputation include the quality of the services we offer and our actions with regard to social issues such as diversity, human rights and support for local
communities. Broad access to social media makes it easy for anyone to provide public feedback that can influence perceptions of us or our properties. It may be difficult to control or effectively
manage negative publicity, regardless of whether it is accurate. Negative events and publicity could quickly and materially damage perceptions of us, our properties, or our industries, which, in turn,
could adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations through loss of customers, loss of business opportunities, lack of acceptance of our company to operate in host
communities, employee retention or recruiting difficulties or other difficulties.

16
An inability to attract and retain key and highly qualified and skilled personnel, as well as disruptions in the general labor market, could impact our ability to successfully develop, operate, and
grow our business
We believe that our success depends in part on our ability to hire, develop, motivate, and retain highly qualified and skilled employees throughout our organization. If we do not successfully hire,
develop, motivate, and retain highly qualified and skilled employees, it is likely that we could experience significant disruptions in our operations and our ability to successfully develop, operate, and
grow our business could be impacted.
Competition for the type of talent we seek to hire is increasingly intense in the geographic areas in which we operate. As a result, we may incur significant costs to attract and retain highly skilled
employees. We may be unable to attract and retain the personnel necessary to sustain our business or support future growth.
Certain of our key employees are required to file applications with the gaming authorities in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate and are required to be licensed or found suitable by these
gaming authorities. If the gaming authorities were to find a key employee unsuitable for licensing, we may be required to sever the employee relationship, or the gaming authorities may require us to
terminate the employment of any person who refuses to file appropriate applications. Either result could significantly impact our operations.
We have observed an increasingly competitive labor market. Increased employee turnover, changes in the availability of our workers, or labor shortages in our supply chain could result in increased
costs and impact our ability to fully staff our operations, which could negatively affect our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Our Company faces significant competition, and we expect competition levels to increase
We face an increasingly high degree of competition among a large number of participants operating from physical locations and/or through online or mobile platforms, including destination casinos,
riverboat casinos; dockside casinos; land-based casinos; video lottery; iGaming; sports betting; gaming at taverns in certain states, such as Illinois; gaming at truck stop establishments in certain
states, such as Louisiana and Pennsylvania; historical horse racing in Kentucky; sweepstakes and poker machines not located in casinos; fantasy sports; Native American gaming; and other forms of
gaming in the U.S. Furthermore, competition from internet lotteries, sweepstakes, illegal slot machines and skill games, fantasy sports and internet or mobile-based gaming platforms, which allow
their customers to wager on a wide variety of sporting events and/or play Las Vegas-style casino games from home or in non-casino settings could divert customers from our properties and thus
adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Currently, there are proposals that would legalize internet poker, sports betting and other varieties of iGaming in a
number of states. Expansion of land-based and iGaming in other jurisdictions (both regulated and unregulated) could further compete with our traditional and iGaming operations, which could have
an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Legalized gaming is currently permitted in various forms throughout the U.S. and on various lands taken into trust for the benefit of certain Native Americans in the U.S. and Canada. Other
jurisdictions, including states adjacent to states in which we currently have properties, have recently legalized, implemented and expanded gaming. Established gaming jurisdictions could award
additional gaming licenses or permit the expansion or relocation of existing gaming operations. Voters and state legislatures may seek to supplement traditional tax revenue sources of state
governments by authorizing or expanding gaming in the states that we operate in or the states that are adjacent to or near our existing properties. New, relocated or expanded operations by other
persons could increase competition for our operations and could have a material adverse impact on us.
Our operations also face competition from other leisure and entertainment activities, including shopping, athletic events, television and movies, concerts and travel.
Our Churchill Downs Racetrack and the Kentucky Derby may be adversely affected by changes in consumer preferences, attendance, wagering, and sponsorships
Our Churchill Downs Racetrack is dependent upon the number of people attending and wagering on live horse races. If interest in horse racing is lower in the future, it may have a negative impact on
revenue and profitability in our Live and Historical Racing segment. In addition, accidents and adverse events that may occur at our racetrack and any reputational damage as a result may negatively
impact attendance at our live horse races. If attendance at and wagering on live horse racing declines, it could have a material adverse impact on our business.
The number and level of sponsorships are important to the success of the Kentucky Derby. Our ability to retain sponsors, acquire new sponsors, and compete for sponsorships and advertising dollars
could have a material adverse impact on our business.

17
We are subject to significant risks associated with our equity investments, strategic alliances, and other third-party agreements
We pursue certain license opportunities, development projects and other strategic business opportunities through equity investments, joint ventures, license arrangements and other alliances with third
parties.
Our equity investments are governed by mutually established agreements that we entered into with our co-investors and therefore, we do not unilaterally control the applicable entity or other
initiatives. The terms of the equity investments and the rights of our co-investors may preclude us from taking actions that we believe to be in the best interests of the Company. Disagreements with
our co-investors could result in delays in project development, including construction delays, and ultimate failure of the project. Our co-investors also may not be able to provide capital to the
applicable entity on the terms agreed to or at all, and the applicable entity may be unable to obtain external financing to finance their operations. Also, our ability to exit the equity investments may be
subject to contractual and other limitations.
With any third-party arrangement, there is a risk that our partners’ economic, business, or legal interests or objectives may not be aligned with ours, leading to potential disagreements and/or failure
of the applicable project or initiative. We are also subject to risks relating to our co-investors’ failure to satisfy contractual obligations, conflicts arising between us and any of our partners and
changes in the ownership of any of our co-investors.
Any of these risks could have a material adverse impact on our business.
We may not be able to respond to rapid technological changes in a timely manner, which may cause customer dissatisfaction
Our TwinSpires and Gaming segments are characterized by the rapid development of new technologies and the continuous introduction of new products. Our main technological advantage versus
potential competitors is our software lead-time in the market and our experience in operating an Internet-based wagering network. It may be difficult to maintain our competitive technological
position against current and potential competitors, especially those with greater financial resources. Our success depends upon new product development and technological advancements, including
the development of new wagering platforms and features. While we expend resources on research and development and product enhancement, we may not be able to continue to improve and market
our existing products or technologies or develop and market new products in a timely manner. Further technological developments may cause our products or technologies to become obsolete or
noncompetitive.
The concentration and evolution of the slot machine and HRM manufacturing industry or other technological conditions could impose additional costs on us
A significant amount of our revenue is attributable to slot, HRM, VLTs, and video poker machines operated by us at our properties, and there are a limited number of slot machine and HRM
manufacturers servicing the industry. It is important for competitive reasons that we offer the most popular and up-to-date machine games with the latest technology to our guests. A substantial
majority of the slot machines sold in the U.S. in recent years were manufactured by a few select companies, and there has been extensive consolidation activity within the gaming equipment sector.
Recently, the prices of new machines have escalated faster than the rate of inflation and slot machine manufacturers have occasionally refused to sell slot machines featuring the most popular games,
instead requiring participating lease arrangements in order to acquire the machines. Participation slot machine leasing arrangements typically require the payment of a fixed daily rental. Such
agreements may also include a percentage payment of coin-in or net win. Generally, a participating lease is substantially more expensive over the long term than the cost to purchase a new machine.
For competitive reasons, we may be forced to purchase new slot machines or enter into participating lease arrangements that are more expensive than the costs associated with the continued operation
of our existing slot machines. If the newer slot machines do not result in sufficient incremental revenue to offset the increased investment, it could adversely affect our operations and profitability.
We rely on a variety of hardware and software products to maximize revenue and efficiency in our operations. Technology in the gaming industry is developing rapidly, and we may need to invest
substantial amounts to acquire the most current gaming and hotel technology and equipment in order to remain competitive in the markets in which we operate. We rely on a limited number of
vendors to provide video poker and slot machines and any loss of our equipment suppliers could impact our operations. Ensuring the successful implementation and maintenance of any new
technology acquired is an additional risk.
Our operations in certain jurisdictions depend on agreements with industry constituents including horsemen and other racetracks, and the failure to enter into or maintain these agreements on
terms acceptable to us could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition
Our operations in certain jurisdictions depend on agreements with third parties. If we are unable to renew these agreements on satisfactory terms as they expire, our business may be disrupted. For
example, the Interstate Horseracing Act, as well as various state racing laws, require that we have written agreements with the horsemen at our racetracks in order to simulcast races, and, in some
cases, conduct live racing. Certain industry groups negotiate these agreements on behalf of the horsemen (the "Horsemen’s Groups"). These agreements provide that we must receive the consent of
the Horsemen’s Groups at the

18
racetrack conducting live races before we may allow third parties to accept wagers on those races. We currently negotiate formal agreements with the applicable Horsemen’s Groups at our racetracks
on an annual basis. The failure to maintain agreements with, or obtain consents from, the Horsemen's Groups on satisfactory terms or the refusal by a Horsemen’s Group to consent to third parties
accepting wagers on our races or our accepting wagers on third-party races could have a material adverse impact on our business, as such failure will result in our inability to conduct live racing and
export and import simulcasting.
From time to time, certain Horsemen’s Groups have withheld their consent to send or receive racing signals among racetracks. Failure to receive the consent of these Horsemen’s Groups for new and
renewing simulcast agreements could have a material adverse impact on our business. We also have written agreements with certain Horsemen’s Groups with regards to the proceeds of gaming
machines in certain states that may be required to operate such gaming.
We have agreements with other racetracks for the distribution of racing content through both the import of other racetracks’ signals for wagering at our properties and the export of our racing signal
for wagering at other racetracks’ facilities, OTBs, and ADWs. From time to time, we may be unable to reach agreements on terms acceptable to us. As a result, we may be unable to distribute our
racing content to other locations or to receive other racetracks’ racing content for wagering at our racetracks. The inability to distribute our racing content could have a material adverse impact on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
We intend to focus on market access and our retail operations for our TwinSpires Sports and Casino business and there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively or that we
will generate sufficient returns on our investment
During the second quarter of 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the federal ban on sports betting. Thirty-three states have authorized sports betting and thirty of these states have sports betting
operational as of December 31, 2022. Additional states may legalize sports betting in the future. Each state has different structures for the number of allowable industry participants, license fees,
taxes, and other operational requirements. The market for sports betting and online gaming is rapidly evolving and highly competitive with an increasing number of competitors. The success of our
retail and online sportsbook and online casino operations are dependent on a number of factors that are beyond our control, including:

• the timing of adoption of regulations authorizing betting and gaming activities,

• operating requirements and other restrictions,

• the number of allowable industry participants,

• the license fees and tax rates,

• our ability to gain market share in a newly developing market,

• the potential that the market does not develop as we anticipate,

• our ability to compete with new entrants in the market,

• changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences, and

• the availability and popularity of other forms of entertainment.

There can be no assurance as to the returns that we will receive from TwinSpires Sports and Casino business.
Operational Risks
Our business is subject to online security risk, including cyber-security breaches. Loss or misuse of our stored information as a result of such a breach, including customers’ personal
information, could lead to government enforcement actions or other litigation, potential liability, or otherwise harm our business
We receive, process, store and use personal information and other customer and employee data by maintaining and transmitting customers’ personal and financial information, credit card settlements,
credit card funds transmissions, mailing lists and reservations information. Our collection of such data is subject to extensive regulation by private groups, such as the payment card industry, as well
as governmental authorities, including gaming authorities.
There are numerous federal, state and local laws regarding privacy and the storing, sharing, use, processing, disclosure and protection of personal information and other data, and such privacy laws
and regulations continue to evolve. Many states have passed laws requiring notification to customers when there is a security breach for personal data, such as the 2002 amendment to California’s
Information Practices Act or requiring the adoption of minimum information security standards that are often vaguely defined and difficult to implement. California has adopted the California
Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the "CCPA"), which went into effect on January 1, 2020, providing California consumers greater control of the information

19
collected, stored, and sold, and other states are considering similar legislation. The CCPA provides a private right of action (in addition to statutory damages) for California residents whose sensitive
personal information was breached as a result of a business’s violation of its duty to reasonably secure such information. The costs of compliance with these laws may increase as a result of changes
in interpretation or changes in law. Any failure on our part to comply with these laws or our privacy policies may subject us to significant liabilities, including governmental enforcement actions or
litigation.
Our systems and processes that are designed to protect customer information and prevent data loss and other security breaches, including systems and processes designed to reduce the impact of a
security breach at a third-party vendor, may not be successful. Interruptions in our services or a breach of a customer’s secure data could cause current or potential users to believe that our systems are
unreliable, which could permanently harm our reputation and brand. These interruptions could also increase the burden on our engineering staff, which, in turn, could delay our introduction of new
features and services on our websites and in our casinos. Such incidents could give rise to remediation costs, monetary fines, and other penalties, which could be significant. We attempt to protect
against this risk with our property and business interruption insurance, which covers damage or interruption of our systems, although there is no assurance that such insurance will be adequate to
cover all potential losses.
Third parties we work with, such as vendors, may violate applicable laws or our privacy policies, and such violations may also put our customers’ information at risk and could in turn have an
adverse impact on our business. We are also subject to payment card association rules and obligations under each association’s contracts with payment card processors. Under these rules and
obligations, if information is compromised, we could be liable to payment card issuers for the associated expense and penalties. If we fail to follow payment card industry security standards, even if
no customer information is compromised, we could incur significant fines or experience a significant increase in payment card transaction costs.
Security breaches, computer malware and computer hacking attacks have become more prevalent in our industry, and hackers and data thieves are increasingly sophisticated and operate large-scale
and complex automated attacks. Many companies, including ours, have been the targets of such attacks. Any security breach caused by hacking which involves efforts to gain unauthorized access to
information or systems, or to cause intentional malfunctions or loss or corruption of data, software, hardware or other computer equipment, and the inadvertent transmission of computer viruses could
harm our business. Though it is difficult to determine what harm may directly result from any specific interruption or breach, any failure to maintain performance, reliability, security and availability
of our network infrastructure to the satisfaction of our players may harm our reputation and our ability to retain existing players and attract new players.
The costs to eliminate or address the foregoing security threats and vulnerabilities before or after a cyber-incident could be significant. Our remediation efforts may not be successful and could result
in interruptions, delays or cessation of service, and loss of existing or potential suppliers or customers. As threats related to cyber-attacks develop and grow, we may also find it necessary to make
further investments to protect our data and infrastructure, which may impact our results of operations. We have insurance coverage for protection against cyber-attacks, which is designed to cover
expenses around notification, credit monitoring, investigation, crisis management, public relations, and legal advice. This insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all possible claims, and we
could suffer losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems, change frequently and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be
unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.
Our operations rely heavily on technology services, and catastrophic events and system failures with respect to these technology services could cause a significant and continued disruption to
our operations
We rely on information technology and other systems to manage our business. A disruption or failure in our technology systems or operations in the event of a cyber-attack, major earthquake, weather
event, terrorist attack or other catastrophic event could interrupt our operations, damage our properties, and reduce the number of customers who visit our facilities in the affected areas. Security
breaches could expose the Company to a risk of loss or misuse of our or our customers’ information, litigation, and potential liability. In addition, cyber incidents that impact the availability,
reliability, speed, accuracy, or other proper functioning of our technology systems could impact our operations. A significant cyber incident, including system failure, security breach, disruption by
malware or other damage could interrupt or delay our operations, result in a violation of applicable privacy and other laws, damage our reputation, subject us to litigation, cause a loss of customers or
give rise to remediation costs, monetary fines and other penalties, which could be significant.
Our online wagering, HRM and brick-and-mortar casino businesses depend upon our communications hardware and our computer hardware. We have built certain redundancies into our systems to
attempt to avoid downtime in the event of outages, system failures or damage. Our systems also remain vulnerable to damage or interruption from floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication
failures, terrorist cyber-attacks, hardware or software error, computer viruses, computer denial-of-service attacks and similar events. Despite any precautions we may take, the occurrence of a natural
disaster or other unanticipated

20
problems could result in lengthy interruptions in our services. Any unscheduled interruption in the availability of our websites and our services could result in an immediate, and possibly substantial,
loss of revenue.
We may not be able to identify and / or complete acquisitions, divestitures, development of new venues or the expansion of existing facilities on time, on budget or as planned
We pursue acquisitions, divestitures, development of new venues and expansion of existing facilities to grow our business.
We face challenges in identifying and completing acquisitions or divestiture opportunities or other development or expansion projects that fit with our strategic objectives. These projects require
significant capital commitments and the incurrence of additional debt. These projects also have risks associated with managing and integrating the acquisition or expansion project.
Supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressure related to these projects could lead to delays and higher project costs. The acquisition or divestiture of businesses may be delayed by external
factors beyond our control including federal, state, and local issues.
The impact of these risks may cause us not to realize the intended benefits of these capital investments which could have a material adverse impact on our business.
We may experience difficulty in integrating recent or future acquisitions into our operations
We have completed acquisition transactions in the past, and we may pursue acquisitions from time to time in the future. The successful integration of newly acquired businesses into our operations
has required and will continue to require the expenditure of substantial managerial, operating, financial and other resources and may also lead to a diversion of our attention from our ongoing business
concerns. We may not be able to successfully integrate new businesses, manage the combined operations or realize projected revenue gains, cost savings and synergies in connection with those
acquisitions on the timetable contemplated, if at all. Management of the new business operations, especially those in new lines of business or different geographic areas, may require that we increase
our managerial resources. The process of integrating new operations may also interrupt the activities of those businesses, which could have a material adverse impact on our business. The costs of
integrating businesses we acquire could significantly impact our short-term operating results. These costs could include the following:
• restructuring charges associated with the acquisitions,
• non-recurring transaction costs, including accounting and legal fees, investment banking fees and recognition of transaction-related costs or liabilities, and
• costs of imposing financial and management controls and operating, administrative and information systems.
We perform financial, operational, and legal diligence on the businesses we purchase; however, an unavoidable level of risk remains regarding the actual condition of these businesses and our ability
to continue to operate these businesses successfully and integrate them into our existing operations. In any acquisition we make, we face risks that include the following:
• the risk that the acquired business may not further our business strategy or that we paid more than the business was worth,
• the risk that the financial performance of the acquired business declines or fails to meet our expectations from and after the date of acquisition,
• the potential adverse impact on our relationships with partner companies or third-party providers of technology or products,
• the possibility that we have acquired substantial undisclosed liabilities for which we may have no recourse against the sellers or third-party insurers,
• costs and complications in maintaining required regulatory approvals or obtaining further regulatory approvals necessary to implement the acquisition in accordance with our strategy,
• the risks of acquiring businesses and/or entering markets in which we have limited or no prior experience,
• the potential loss of key employees or customers,
• the possibility that we may be unable to retain or recruit employees with the necessary skills to manage the acquired businesses, and
• changes to legal and regulatory guidelines which may negatively affect acquisitions.
If we are unsuccessful in overcoming these risks, it could have a material adverse impact on our business.

21
The development of new venues and the expansion of existing facilities is costly and susceptible to delays, cost overruns and other uncertainties
We may decide to develop, construct and open hotels, casinos, other gaming venues, or racetracks in response to opportunities that may arise. For example, we've announced multiple major multi-
year capital investments to transform key areas of Churchill Downs Racetrack, as well as other capital investments such as the build out of Derby City Gaming Downtown, Rosie's Emporia and
Dumfries, the Ellis Park Owensboro Annex, a charitable gaming facility in New Hampshire and the Terre Haute Casino Resort. Future development projects may require significant capital
commitments and the incurrence of additional debt, which could have a material adverse impact on our business. In addition, we may not receive the intended benefits of such capital investments.
Ownership and development of our real estate requires significant expenditures and ownership of such properties is subject to risk, including risks related to environmental liabilities
We own extensive real estate holdings and make significant capital investments to grow our operations. All real estate investments are subject to risks including the following: general economic
conditions, such as the availability and cost of financing; local and national real estate conditions, such as an oversupply of residential, office, retail or warehousing space, or a reduction in demand
for real estate in the area; governmental regulation, including taxation of property and environmental legislation; and the attractiveness of properties to potential purchasers or tenants. Significant
expenditures, including property taxes, debt repayments, maintenance costs, insurance costs and related charges, must be made throughout the period of ownership of real property. Such expenditures
may negatively impact our operating results.
We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local governmental laws and regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge, emission and disposal of hazardous materials. Environmental laws and
regulations could hold us responsible for the cost of cleaning up hazardous materials contaminating real property that we own or operate (or previously owned or operated) or properties at which we
have disposed of hazardous materials, even if we did not cause the contamination. Some of our facilities are subject to CAFO regulations. If we fail to comply with environmental laws or if
contamination is discovered, a court or government agency could impose severe penalties or restrictions on our operations or assess us with the costs of taking remedial actions. Enforcement of such
regulations have been receiving increased governmental attention and compliance with these and other environmental laws can, in some circumstances, require significant capital expenditures
(including with respect to fines).
Horse racing is an inherently dangerous sport, and our racetracks are subject to personal injury litigation
Personal injuries and injuries to horses have occurred during races or workouts, and may continue to occur, which could subject us to negative publicity and / or litigation. Negative publicity may lead
some customers to avoid the Company’s properties or could cause horse owners to avoid racing their horses at our racetracks. Any litigation resulting from injuries at our properties could be costly
and time consuming and could divert our management and key personnel from our business operations. We buy insurance for all of our racetracks; however, our coverage may not be sufficient for all
losses. Due to the potential impact of negative publicity and inherent uncertainty related to the outcome of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding
would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
Any violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, other similar laws and regulations, or applicable anti-money laundering regulations could have a negative impact on us
We are subject to risks associated with doing business outside of the U.S., including exposure to complex foreign and U.S. regulations such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA") and
other anti-corruption laws which generally prohibit U.S. companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business.
Violations of the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws may result in severe criminal and civil sanctions and other penalties. It may be difficult to oversee the conduct of any contractors, third-party
partners, representatives, or agents who are not our employees, potentially exposing us to greater risk from their actions. If our employees or agents fail to comply with applicable laws or company
policies governing our international operations, we may face legal proceedings and actions which could result in civil penalties, administration actions and criminal sanctions.
Any determination that we have violated any anti-corruption laws could have a material adverse impact on our business. We also deal with significant amounts of cash in our operations and are
subject to various reporting and anti-money laundering regulations. Any violation of anti-money laundering laws or regulations by any of our properties could have a material adverse impact on our
business.
We are subject to payment-related risks, such as risk associated with the fraudulent use of credit or debit cards which could have adverse effects on our business due to chargebacks from
customers

22
We allow funding and payments to accounts using a variety of methods, including electronic funds transfer ("EFT") and credit and debit cards. As we continue to introduce new funding or payment
options to our players, we may be subject to additional regulatory and compliance requirements. We also may be subject to the risk of fraudulent use of credit or debit cards, or other funding and/or
payment options. For certain funding or payment options, including credit and debit cards, we may pay interchange and other fees which may increase over time and, therefore, raise operating costs
and reduce profitability. We rely on third parties to provide payment-processing services and it could disrupt our business if these companies become unwilling or unable to provide these services to
us. We are also subject to rules and requirements governing EFT which could change or be reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to comply. If we fail to comply with these rules or
requirements, we may be subject to fines and higher transaction fees or possibly lose our ability to accept credit or debit cards, or other forms of payment from customers which could have a material
adverse impact on our business.
Chargebacks occur when customers seek to void credit card or other payment transactions. Cardholders are intended to be able to reverse card transactions only if there has been unauthorized use of
the card or the services contracted for have not been provided. In our business, customers occasionally seek to reverse online gaming losses through chargebacks. Our control procedures to protect
from chargebacks may not be sufficient to protect us from adverse effects on our business or results of operations.
Work stoppages and other labor problems could negatively impact our future plans and limit our operational flexibility
Some of our employees are represented by labor unions. A strike or other work stoppage at one of our properties could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations. From time to
time, we have also experienced attempts to unionize certain of our non-union employees. We may experience additional union activity in the future. Any such union organization efforts could cause
disruptions in our business and result in significant costs.
Legal and Regulatory Risks
We face risks related to pending or future legal proceedings and other actions
From time to time, we are a party in various lawsuits and judicial and governmental actions. No assurance can be provided as to the outcome of these lawsuits and actions which can be expensive and
time consuming. We may not be successful in the defense or prosecution of these lawsuits or actions, which could result in settlements, costs or damages that could have a material adverse impact on
our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation. Such matters may include investigations or litigation from various parties, including vendors, customers, state and federal
agencies, stockholders and employees relating to intellectual property, employment, consumer, personal injury, corporate governance, commercial or other matters arising in the ordinary course of
business.
We have also been subject to claims in cases concerning or similar to class action allegations. Plaintiffs in such lawsuits often seek recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts, and the magnitude
of the potential loss and defense costs relating to such lawsuits may not be accurately estimated. We evaluate all of the claims and proceedings involving us to assess the expected outcome, and where
possible, we estimate the potential losses we may incur. In many cases, including class action matters, we may not be able to estimate the potential losses we will incur and/or our estimates may prove
to be insufficient. These assessments are made by management based on the information available at the time made and require the use of a significant amount of judgment, and actual outcomes or
losses may materially differ. Regardless of whether any claims against us are valid, or whether we are ultimately held liable, such litigation may be expensive to defend and may divert resources away
from our operations and negatively impact earnings. We may not be able to obtain adequate insurance to protect us from these types of litigation matters or extraordinary business losses.
Our operations are highly regulated and changes in the regulatory environment could adversely affect our business
We conduct live and historical pari-mutuel wagering, online pari-mutuel wagering through ADWs, casino gaming, online gaming, and sports betting operations, which are subject to extensive state
and for some local regulation. These regulatory authorities have broad discretion, and may, for any reason set forth in the applicable legislation, rules and regulations, limit, condition, suspend, fail to
renew or revoke a license or registration to conduct our operations or prevent another person from owning an equity interest in the Company.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our existing governmental licenses, registrations, permits or approvals necessary to operate our existing businesses or demonstrate suitability
to obtain any licenses, registrations, permits, or approvals. The loss of a license in one jurisdiction could trigger the loss of a license or affect our eligibility for a license in another jurisdiction. As we
expand our operations in our existing jurisdictions or to new areas, we may have to meet additional suitability requirements and obtain additional licenses, registrations, permits and approvals from
authorities in these jurisdictions. The approval process can be time-consuming and costly, and we cannot be sure that we will be successful.

23
Our Live and Historical Racing segment is subject to extensive state and local regulation, and we depend on continued state approval of legalized pari-mutuel wagering in states where we operate.
Our wagering and racing (including HRM) facilities must meet the licensing requirements of various regulatory authorities. We have obtained all governmental licenses, registrations, permits and
approvals necessary for operation. However, we may be unable to maintain our existing licenses. The failure to obtain such licenses in the future or the loss of or material change in our business
licenses, registrations, permits or approvals may materially limit the number of races we conduct or our racing (including HRM) operation. The loss of a license in one jurisdiction could trigger the
loss of a license or affect our eligibility for a license in another jurisdiction.
Regulatory authorities also have input into important aspects of our operations, including hours of operation, location or relocation of a facility, and numbers and types of HRMs. Regulators may also
levy substantial fines against or seize our assets or the assets of our subsidiaries or the people involved in violating pari-mutuel laws or regulations. For example, individual plaintiffs associated with
video poker and truck stops in Louisiana are challenging the constitutionality of the Louisiana 2021 HHR Act which may adversely impact Fair Ground’s historical racing operations.
TwinSpires accepts ADW wagers from customers of certain states who set up and fund accounts from which they may place wagers via telephone, mobile device or through the Internet pursuant to
the Interstate Horseracing Act and relevant licenses and consents. The online horse racing wagering business is heavily regulated, and laws governing ADW pari-mutuel wagering vary from state to
state. State attorney generals, regulators, and other law enforcement officials may interpret state laws, federal laws, constitutional principles, and the related regulations in a different manner than we
do.
States may take affirmative action to make ADW expressly unlawful. We may not be successful in lobbying state legislatures or regulatory bodies to obtain or renew required legislation, licenses,
registrations, permits and approvals necessary to facilitate the operation or expansion of our online horse racing wagering business or in any legal challenge to the validity of any restrictions on ADW.
Legal challenges and regulatory and legislative processes can be lengthy, costly and uncertain.
Many states have considered and are considering interactive and Internet gaming legislation and regulations which may inhibit our ability to do business in such states or increase competition for
online wagering. Anti-gaming conclusions and recommendations of other governmental or quasi-governmental bodies could form the basis for new laws, regulations, and enforcement policies. The
extensive regulation by both state and federal authorities of gaming activities also can be significantly affected by changes in the political climate and changes in economic and regulatory policies.
Any of these events could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Financial Risks
Our debt facilities contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business
Our debt facilities contain a number of covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on our business, including restrictions on our ability to, among other things, take the
following actions:
• incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares,
• pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of our capital stock, repurchase common shares or make other restricted payments,
• make certain investments,
• sell certain assets or consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets,
• create liens on certain assets,
• enter into certain transactions with our affiliates, and
• designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.
As a result of these covenants, we are limited in the manner in which we conduct our business, and we may be unable to engage in favorable business activities or finance future operations or capital
needs.
Any failure to comply with the financial ratios and other covenants in our debt facilities and other indebtedness could have a material adverse impact on our business
Under our debt facilities, we are required to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios. Our ability to meet those financial ratios can be affected by events beyond our control, and as a result, we
may be unable to meet those ratios. A failure to comply with the financial ratios and other covenants contained in our debt facilities or our other indebtedness could result in an event of default which,
if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition. In the event of any default under our debt facilities or our other indebtedness, the lenders
thereunder:
• will not be required to lend any additional amounts to us,

24
 • could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be due and payable and could terminate all commitments to extend further credit,
or
• could require us to apply all of our available cash to repay these borrowings.
We have pledged a significant portion of our assets as collateral under our debt facilities. If any of these lenders accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to repay our
indebtedness and our lenders could exercise their rights against the collateral we have granted them
Increases to interest rates (due to inflation or otherwise), disruptions in the credit markets, or changes to our credit ratings may adversely affect our business.
While we currently generate significant cash flows from ongoing operations and have access to global credit markets through our various financing activities, interest rate increases, disruption in the
credit markets, changes that may result from the implementation of new benchmark rates that replace the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), or changes to our credit ratings could negatively
impact the availability or cost of funding.
During inflationary periods, interest rates have historically increased, which would have a direct effect on the interest expense of our borrowings. In particular, primarily in response to concerns about
inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve has significantly raised its benchmark federal funds rate, which has led to increases in interest rates in the credit markets. The U.S. Federal Reserve may continue to
raise the federal funds rate, which will likely lead to higher interest rates in the credit markets and the possibility of lower asset values, slowing economic growth and/or possibly leading to a
recession. We are exposed to increases in interest rates on our variable-rate borrowings, which consist of borrowings under our credit facility and our term loans. Therefore, interest rate increases, due
to inflation or otherwise, could, increase our interest expense under these variable-rate facilities in the short-term and increase our financing costs as we refinance our existing variable-rate and fixed-
rate long-term borrowings in the long term, or we could incur additional interest expense related to the issuance of incremental debt. These increased costs could reduce our profitability, impair our
ability to meet our debt obligations, negatively impact our ability to maintain compliance with the financial covenants in our Credit Agreement, or increase the cost of financing our acquisition,
investment, and development activity.
Reduced access to credit or increased costs could adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources or significantly increase our cost of capital.
Our insurance costs may increase, we may not be able to obtain similar insurance coverage in the future, and the extent to which we can recover under our insurance policies for damages
sustained at our operating properties in the event of inclement weather and casualty events, all could adversely affect our business
We renew our insurance policies on an annual basis. The cost of coverage may become so high that we may need to further reduce our policy limits or agree to certain additional exclusions from our
coverage. If we are unable to obtain sufficient insurance coverage, we could be at risk for increased potential losses, which could be substantial. Our debt instruments and other material agreements
require us to meet certain standards related to insurance coverage. If we are unable to obtain sufficient insurance coverage to satisfy these requirements, an event of default could result under these
debt instruments or material agreements.
Portions of our business are difficult or impracticable to insure. After carefully weighing the costs, risks, and benefits of retaining versus insuring various risks, as well as the availability of certain
types of insurance coverage, we may opt to retain certain risks not covered by our insurance policies. Retained risks are associated with deductible limits or self-insured retentions, partial self-
insurance programs and insurance policy coverage ceilings.
Flooding, blizzards, windstorms, earthquakes, hurricanes or other weather conditions could adversely affect our casino and horse racing locations. We maintain insurance coverage that may cover
certain costs that we incur as a result of some natural disasters, which coverage is subject to deductibles, exclusions and limits on maximum benefits. We may not be able to fully collect, if at all, on
any claims resulting from extreme weather conditions or other disasters. If any of our properties are damaged or if our operations are disrupted or face prolonged closure as a result of weather
conditions in the future, or if weather conditions adversely impact general economic or other conditions in the areas in which our properties are located or from which we draw our patrons, the
disruption could have a material adverse impact on our business.
We have "all risk" property insurance coverage for our operating properties which covers damage caused by a casualty loss (such as fire, natural disasters, acts of war, or terrorism). Our level of
property insurance coverage, which is subject to policy maximum limits and certain exclusions, may not be adequate to cover all losses in the event of a major casualty. In addition, certain casualty
events may not be covered at all under our policies. Therefore, certain acts could expose us to substantial uninsured losses. Any losses we incur that are not adequately covered by insurance may
decrease our future operating income, require us to fund replacements or repairs for destroyed property and reduce the funds available for payment of our obligations.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In addition to the matters described below, we are also involved in ordinary routine litigation matters which are incidental to our business.
Bob Baffert and Bob Baffert Racing Stables, Inc. v. Churchill Downs Incorporated, Bill Carstanjen and Alex Rankin
On February 28, 2022, plaintiffs Bob Baffert and Bob Baffert Racing Stables, Inc. filed a complaint and motion for preliminary injunction against Churchill Downs Incorporated, its Chief Executive
Officer Bill Carstanjen, and its Chairman of the Board of Directors Alex Rankin in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, arising out of the Company’s decision to suspend Mr.
Baffert from entering horses trained by him at any Company-owned racetrack for a period of two years. The Company’s two-year suspension of Mr. Baffert came after Baffert-trained horse, Medina
Spirit, finished first in the 147th running of the Kentucky Derby but subsequently tested positive for betamethasone, a banned race-day substance. Plaintiffs allege that the Company’s decisions to
suspend Mr. Baffert from racing at any Company-owned racetrack and to prohibit horses trained by him (or any other suspended trainer) from accumulating Derby-qualifying points were unlawful.
Plaintiffs assert claims for (i) violation of the due process clause, (ii) unlawful exclusion, (iii) violations of the federal antitrust laws, (iv) tortious interference with contract, and (v) tortious
interference with prospective business advantage.
In addition to and separate from the Company’s suspension of Mr. Baffert, on February 21, 2022, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission ("KHRC") Board of Stewards suspended Mr. Baffert from
racing in Kentucky for 90 days and issued a fine to him. The KHRC rejected Mr. Baffert’s requests to stay the suspension. Mr. Baffert unsuccessfully sought judicial intervention relieving him from
the KHRC suspension. On March 21, 2022, the Franklin County Circuit Court concluded Mr. Baffert was not entitled to a stay of the KHRC suspension and that he had not satisfied a single element
required for a temporary injunction of the KHRC suspension. This decision was affirmed by the Kentucky Court of Appeals on April 1, 2022 in an order denying Mr. Baffert’s motion for emergency
relief. After the Kentucky Court of Appeals allowed the KHRC’s 90-day suspension of Mr. Baffert to stand, plaintiffs voluntarily withdrew their motion for preliminary injunction against the
Company without prejudice.
On May 2, 2022, the Company filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaint. Plaintiffs filed a renewed motion for preliminary injunction on December 15, 2022. On February 17, 2023, the Court
issued a memorandum opinion and order granting the Company’s motion to dismiss in part, allowing a portion of the due process claim to remain. In the same order, the Court denied Plaintiffs’
motion for preliminary injunction, concluding that Plaintiff had not established irreparable injury and was not likely to succeed on the merits of the remaining claim. The Company, Mr. Carstanjen,
and Mr. Rankin intend to defend this matter vigorously and believe that there are meritorious legal and factual defenses against plaintiffs' allegations and requests for relief.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related
notes included in Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The following discussion provides an analysis of our results of operations and reasons for material changes therein
for 2022 as compared to 2021. Discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations for 2021 as compared to 2020 is included in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2022.
Our Business
Churchill Downs Incorporated ("CDI" or the "Company") has been creating extraordinary entertainment experiences for nearly 150 years, beginning with the Company’s most iconic and enduring
asset, the Kentucky Derby. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, CDI has expanded through the development of live and historical racing entertainment venues, the growth of the TwinSpires horse
racing online wagering business and the operation and development of regional casino gaming properties.
In the first quarter of 2022, we updated our operating segments to reflect the internal management reporting used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate results of operations and to assess
performance and allocate resources. During the first quarter of 2022, our chief operating decision maker decided to include the results of our United Tote business in the TwinSpires segment as we
evolve our strategy to integrate the United Tote offering with TwinSpires Horse Racing, which we believe will create additional business-to-business revenue opportunities. For additional
information, refer to Note 21 - Segment Information, to the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
2022 Transactions
Peninsula Pacific Entertainment Acquisition
On November 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Peninsula Pacific Entertainment, LLC ("P2E") with a base purchase price of $2.75 billion ("P2E
Transaction") subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments. The Company acquired the following properties as part of the P2E Transaction: Colonial Downs Racetrack ("Colonial
Downs") in New Kent, Virginia, six historical racing entertainment venues in Virginia, del Lago Resort & Casino in Waterloo, New York ("del Lago"), and the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Sioux
City, Iowa ("Hard Rock Sioux City"). The P2E Transaction also included development rights for two properties currently under development in Dumfries and Emporia, Virginia with up to five
additional Historical Racing Machines ("HRMs") entertainment venues as well as ONE Casino and Resort in collaboration with Urban One.
Chasers Poker Room Acquisition
On September 2, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Chasers Poker Room ("Chasers") in Salem, New Hampshire ("Chasers Transaction"). Chasers is a charitable gaming facility located
approximately 30 miles from Boston, Massachusetts, that offers poker and a variety of table games. The Company plans to develop an expanded charitable gaming facility in Salem to accommodate
HRMs and table games. As part of the Chasers Transaction, the Company made an initial payment to the sellers for rights to operate the poker room and to build a historical racing entertainment
venue.
Ellis Park Acquisition
On September 26, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Ellis Park Racing & Gaming ("Ellis Park Transaction"). Ellis Park Racing & Gaming ("Ellis Park") is a racetrack and gaming
facility venue with HRMs. As part of the acquisition, the Company also acquired the rights to construct an HRM entertainment venue in Owensboro, Kentucky.
Calder Land Sale
On June 17, 2022, the Company closed on the sale of 115.7 acres of land near Calder Casino ("Calder") for $291.0 million to Link Logistics Real Estate, a Blackstone portfolio company. The
Company received cash proceeds of $279.0 million which was net of $12.0 million of transaction costs. We recognized a gain of $274.6 million on the sale of the land, which is included in other
income in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Exacta Systems, LLC Acquisition
On December 19, 2022, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement under which we would acquire all the outstanding equity interests of Exacta Systems, LLC ("Exacta") for
total consideration of $250.0 million in cash (the "Exacta Transaction"), subject to certain working capital and other purchase price adjustments. The Exacta Transaction will provide the Company the
ability to realize synergies related to the Company's recent acquisition of the HRM entertainment venues in Virginia.

30
Other Business Activities
Impairment
During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company evaluated whether events or circumstances changed that would indicate it is more likely than not that any of the Company's intangible
assets, goodwill, or property and equipment, were impaired. Based on the Company's evaluation, the Company concluded that a trigger event for impairment testing occurred related to the Presque
Isle Downs and Casino ("Presque Isle") gaming rights, trademark, and the reporting unit's goodwill due to continued negative economic conditions that negatively impacted the estimates and
assumptions utilized in our indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessment. As a result of the updated discount rate to reflect the increased uncertainty of the cash flows and updated projected
cash flow stream, the Company recorded a $33.4 million non-cash impairment charge in fourth quarter of 2022 for the Presque Isle gaming rights and trademark.
Exit of the Direct Online Sports and Casino Business
In 2022, the Company exited the direct online Sports and Casino business in every state except for Pennsylvania and Arizona. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company evaluated
whether this planned exit would indicate it is more likely than not that any of the Company’s intangible assets, long-lived assets, current assets or property and equipment, were impaired. Based on
the Company’s evaluation, the Company recorded a $4.9 million non-cash impairment charge related to certain assets in the TwinSpires segment. The Company will maintain its retail Sports
operations and has monetized two of its online market access licenses
Impact of the COVID-19 Global Pandemic
In March 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, we temporarily suspended operations at our wholly-owned and managed gaming properties. In May 2020, we began to reopen our properties
with patron restrictions and gaming limitations, which fluctuated with the changing environment. All of our gaming properties have remained open since January 2021.
The 146th Kentucky Oaks and Derby were held in the third quarter of 2020 without spectators. During the second quarter of 2021, we held the 147th Kentucky Oaks and Derby with capacity
restrictions in compliance with Kentucky venue limitations at that time. Due to such restrictions, our revenues from the Kentucky Oaks and Derby in each year were significantly less than we would
otherwise expect. The 148th Kentucky Oaks and Derby were held in the second quarter of 2022 without capacity restrictions.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of variant strains, will continue to impact the Company remains uncertain and will depend on many factors that are not within
our control. We will continue to monitor for new developments related to the pandemic and assess these developments to maintain continuity in our operations.
Key Indicators to Evaluate Business Results and Financial Condition
Our management monitors a variety of key indicators to evaluate our business results and financial condition. These indicators include changes in net revenue, operating expense, operating income,
earnings per share, outstanding debt balance, operating cash flow and capital spend.
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We also use non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA
(earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure of results of operations enables
management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period our operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. Our chief operating decision maker utilizes Adjusted
EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in
accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our
operating results.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the following:
Adjusted EBITDA includes our portion of EBITDA from our equity investments.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes:
• Transaction expense, net which includes:
– Acquisition, disposition, and land sale related charges;
– Direct online Sports and Casino business exit costs; and
– Other transaction expense, including legal, accounting and other deal-related expense.
• Stock-based compensation expense;
• Rivers Des Plaines' impact on our investments in unconsolidated affiliates from:

31
 – The impact of changes in fair value of interest rate swaps, and
– Legal reserves and transaction costs;
• Asset impairments;
• Gain on Calder land sale;
• Legal reserves;
• Pre-opening expense; and
• Other charges, recoveries and expenses
As of December 31, 2021, Arlington International Racecourse ("Arlington") ceased racing and simulcast operations. On February 15, 2023, the Company closed on the sale of the property to the
Chicago Bears. For more information, refer to Note 4, Dispositions and Assets Held for Sale, to the notes to consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Arlington's operating loss in the current quarter and year is treated as an adjustment to EBITDA and is included in Other expenses, net in the Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income to Adjusted
EBITDA.
For segment reporting, Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany revenue and expense totals that are eliminated in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). See the
Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA included in this section for additional information.

five additional HRM entertainment venues in Virginia, and ONE Casino & Resort in Virginia in collaboration with Urban One.
▪ We completed the financing for the acquisition in April 2022 by closing a $1.2 billion Senior Secured Revolver due 2027, $800 million of Senior Secured Delayed Draw Term Loan
A due 2027, and $1.2 billion of Senior Notes due 2030 at a 5.75% interest rate.

Our Operations
We manage our operations through three reportable segments: Live and Historical Racing, TwinSpires, and Gaming.
Refer to Part I, Item 1. Business, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on our segments and a description of our competition and government regulations and potential legislative
changes that affect our business.

Consolidated Financial Results

The following table reflects our net revenue, operating income, net income, Adjusted EBITDA, and certain other financial information:

Years Ended December 31,

(in millions) 2022 2021 Change
Net revenue $ 1,809.8 $ 1,597.2 $ 212.6
Operating income 321.8 284.4 37.4
Operating income margin 17.8 % 17.8 %
Net income from continuing operations $ 439.4 $ 249.1 $ 190.3
Adjusted EBITDA 763.6 627.0 136.6

Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2021
• Net revenue increased $212.6 million driven by a $205.5 million increase from Live and Historical Racing primarily due to revenue attributable to the Virginia properties acquired in the
P2E, Ellis Park and Chasers Transactions, the running of the 2022 Kentucky Derby without capacity restrictions that were in place in 2021, and continued growth at our Oak Grove property
and at Derby City Gaming and a $60.5 million increase from Gaming primarily due to our New York and Iowa properties acquired in the P2E Transaction and increased revenue in Maine,
Florida, and Maryland as a result of certain capacity restrictions during the first half of 2021 that did not recur. Partially offsetting these increases were a $15.0 million decrease in TwinSpires
primarily due to a decrease in Horse Racing as a higher portion of our patrons returned to wagering at brick-and-mortar facilities instead of wagering online and the exit of our direct online
Sports and Casino business in the first quarter of 2022 and a $38.4 million decrease from All Other, primarily due to Arlington not conducting live racing and simulcast during 2022.
• Operating income increased $37.4 million due to a $93.5 million increase in Live and Historical Racing primarily due to the running of the 2022 Kentucky Derby without restrictions,
increases in revenue at our historical racing facilities in Kentucky, and the incremental revenue from the acquired properties in Virginia, and a $37.2 million increase in TwinSpires driven by
decreased online marketing and promotions expense. Partially offsetting these increases were a $34.2 million increase in transaction expense driven by the P2E Transaction, a $25.7 million
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due to an increase in Corporate compensation related expenses, legal fees, and charitable donations, a $23.0 million increase in asset
impairments, a decrease of $9.3 million in All Other due to Arlington not conducting live racing in 2022, and a $1.1 million decrease in Gaming.
• Net income from continuing operations increased $190.3 million. The following items impacted comparability of the Company's net income from continuing operations for the year ended
December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year: a $198.7 million non-cash after tax gain on the sale of Calder assets and a $6.5 million after tax decrease in expense related to Rivers Des
Plaines' legal reserves and transaction costs. Offsetting these increases in net income were a $17.8 million non-cash after-tax increase in asset impairments; a $35.5 million after-tax increase
in transaction, pre-opening and other expenses, net, a $2.8 million after-tax increase in legal reserves, and $0.7 million of other charges. Excluding these items, net income increased
$41.8 million primarily due to a $63.5 million after-tax increase driven by the results of our operations and equity in income from our unconsolidated affiliates, partially offset by a
$21.7 million after-tax increase in interest expense associated with higher outstanding debt balances.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased $136.6 million driven by a $112.5 million increase from Live and Historical Racing primarily due to an increase attributable to the Virginia properties acquired
in the P2E, Ellis Park and Chasers Transactions, an increase due to the running of the 2022 Kentucky Derby without capacity restrictions that were in place in 2021, and continued growth at
our Oak Grove property and at Derby City Gaming, a $31.4 million increase from TwinSpires primarily due to a decrease in marketing spend as a result of exiting the Sports and Casino
business, and a $10.0 million increase from Gaming driven by an increase in New York and Iowa from the properties acquired

34
 as part of the P2E Transaction and an increase primarily from our properties in Maine, Florida, and Louisiana as a result of capacity restrictions in 2021 that did not recur. These increases
were partially offset by declines in Mississippi and Pennsylvania driven by the current economic factors and a $17.3 million decline in All Other primarily due to Arlington not conducting
live racing and simulcast operations in 2022.

Revenue by Segment
The following table presents net revenue for our segments, including intercompany revenues:

Years Ended December 31,

(in millions) 2022 2021 Change

Eliminations (43.3) (38.8) (4.5)
Net Revenue $ 1,809.8 $ 1,597.2 $ 212.6

Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2021
• Live and Historical Racing revenue for 2022 increased $215.8 million primarily due to $62.4 million in revenue attributable to the Virginia properties acquired in the P2E Transaction, $8.0
million in revenue attributable to properties acquired in the Ellis Park and Chasers Transactions, $77.6 million increased revenue at Churchill Downs Racetrack primarily due to the running
of the 2022 Kentucky Derby without capacity restrictions that were in place in 2021, and $67.8 million increase driven primarily by growth at our Oak Grove property and Derby City
Gaming as well as the opening of Turfway Park in September 2022.
• TwinSpires revenue decreased $16.2 million primarily due to a decrease in pari-mutuel handle as a higher portion of our patrons returned to wagering at brick-and-mortar facilities instead of
wagering online and the decision to exit the direct online Sports and Casino business in the first quarter of 2022.
• Gaming revenue increased $63.4 million primarily due to $46.5 million attributable to our New York and Iowa properties acquired in the P2E Transaction, $25.5 million in Maine, Florida,
and Maryland as a result of certain capacity restrictions during the first half of 2021 and a $9.7 million increase in Louisiana as a result of the 2022 Jazz Festival that was not held in the prior
year due to COVID-19 and shutdowns in 2021 due to Hurricane Ida that did not recur. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of $18.3 million primarily from our Mississippi and
Pennsylvania properties due to the current economic conditions.
• All Other revenue decreased $45.9 million primarily as a result of Arlington ceasing racing and simulcast operations at the end of 2021.

Consolidated Operating Expense
The following table is a summary of our consolidated operating expense:

Years Ended December 31,

Percent of revenue 82 % 82 %

Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2021
Significant items affecting comparability of consolidated operating expense include:
• The additional properties acquired as part of the P2E, Ellis Park and Chasers Transactions drove increases in taxes and purses, salaries and benefits, selling, general and administrative and
other operating expenses.
• In May 2022, we ran the Kentucky Derby without capacity restrictions which drove increases in salaries and benefits and other operating expenses.
• In addition to the impacts from the acquisitions, Corporate compensation related expenses, legal fees, and charitable donations also contributed to increases in selling, general and
administrative expenses.
• The decline of $21.6 million in marketing and advertising expense was primarily due to decreased online marketing by our TwinSpires Sports and Casino business due to the decision to exit
the direct online Sports and Casino business. This decrease was partially offset by increased marketing spend at the Kentucky HRM properties in our Live and Historical Racing segment.
• The increase in asset impairments was driven by a $33.4 million non-cash impairment charge at Presque Isle.
• Transaction expense increased $34.2 million due to the P2E, Ellis Park, and Chasers Transactions.

36
Adjusted EBITDA by Segment
We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure of the results of operations enables management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period our
operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our operating results.

Year Ended December 31,

(in millions) 2022 2021 Change
Live and Historical Racing $ 287.5 $ 175.0 $ 112.5
TwinSpires 114.1 82.7 31.4

All Other (59.9) (42.6) (17.3)
Total Adjusted EBITDA $ 763.6 $ 627.0 $ 136.6

Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2021
• Live and Historical Racing Adjusted EBITDA increased $112.5 million due to a $30.1 million increase attributable to the Virginia properties acquired in the P2E Transaction, a $0.7 million
increase attributable to properties acquired in the Ellis Park and Chasers Transactions, a $59.1 million increase at Churchill Downs Racetrack primarily due to the running of the 2022
Kentucky Derby without capacity restrictions that were in place in 2021, and a $22.6 million increase primarily due to the continued growth at our Oak Grove property and at Derby City
Gaming.
• TwinSpires Adjusted EBITDA increased $31.4 million primarily due to a $40.0 million increase from our Sports and Casino business primarily due to decreased marketing and promotional
activities and an $8.6 million decrease attributable to lower Horse Racing net revenue.
• Gaming Adjusted EBITDA increased $10.0 million driven by a $17.9 million increase in New York and Iowa from the properties acquired as part of the P2E Transaction, an $11.6 million
increase primarily from our properties in Maine, Florida, and Louisiana as a result of capacity restrictions in 2021 that did not recur, and a $2.8 million increase from our equity investments.
Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of $22.3 million primarily from our Mississippi and Pennsylvania properties due to the current economic conditions.
• All Other Adjusted EBITDA decreased $17.3 million primarily due to the elimination of the $9.7 million operating income related to Arlington as a result of ceasing racing and simulcast
operations at the end of 2021 and a $7.6 million increase in Corporate compensation related expenses, legal fees, and charitable donations.

Consolidated Balance Sheet

The following table is a summary of our overall financial position:

As of December 31,
(in billions) 2022 2021 Change
Total assets $ 6.2 $ 3.0 $ 3.2
Total liabilities 5.6 2.7 2.9
Total shareholders’ equity 0.6 0.3 0.3
• Total assets increased $3.2 billion driven by a $2.4 billion increase in goodwill and other intangibles from the P2E, Ellis Park and Chasers Transactions and a $1.0 billion increase in property
and equipment, net from the P2E and Ellis Park Transactions and construction projects. Partially offsetting these increases was a $0.2 billion decrease in cash and cash equivalents due to
outflows for bond and term loan interest, capital expenditures related to ongoing construction projects and payments for the purchases of Ellis Park and Chasers.
• Total liabilities increased $2.9 billion driven by a $1.2 billion increase in notes payable, net of debt issuance costs, related to the closing of the 2030 Senior Notes, a $1.4 billion increase in
long-term debt, driven by the P2E

38
 Transaction, a $0.2 billion increase in liabilities assumed as part of the P2E, Ellis Park and Chasers Transactions, and an increase in deferred income taxes.
• Total shareholders’ equity increased $0.3 billion driven by net income of $0.4 billion, partially offsetting this increase was $0.1 billion of primarily stock repurchases, and taxes paid related
to net share settlement of stock awards.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have been and will continue to be cash flow from operations, borrowings under our credit facility, and proceeds from the issuance of debt
securities. Our ongoing liquidity will depend on a number of factors, including available cash resources, cash flow from operations, acquisitions or equity investments, funding of construction for
development projects, and our compliance with our covenants under our credit facility.
The following table is a summary of our liquidity and cash flows:

Year Ended December 31,

(in billions) 2022 2021 Change
Cash Flows from:
Operating activities $ 0.5 $ 0.5 $ —
Investing activities (3.1) (0.1) (3.0)
Financing activities 2.4 — 2.4

Operating Cash Flow

Cash provided by operating activities increased from increased operating income, increased distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, and tax refunds in the current year driven by prior years' tax
return losses. These increases were partially offset by an increase in net interest paid and transaction costs paid as part of the P2E Transaction and other operating expenses. We anticipate that cash
flows from operations over the next twelve months will be adequate to fund our business operations and capital expenditures.
Investing Cash Flow
Cash used in investing activities increased $3.0 billion driven primarily by $3.0 billion used for the P2E, Ellis Park and Chasers Transactions, increased capital maintenance expenditures of $0.3
billion, partially offset by proceeds from the Calder land sale of $0.3 billion.
Financing Cash Flow
Cash provided by financing activities increased $2.4 billion primarily driven by a $2.3 billion increase in net borrowings from long-term debt and a $0.1 billion decrease in common stock
repurchases.
Capital Expenditures
Included in cash flows from investing activities are capital maintenance expenditures and capital project expenditures. Capital maintenance expenditures relate to the replacement of existing fixed
assets with a useful life greater than one year that are obsolete, exhausted, or no longer cost effective to repair. Capital project expenditures represent fixed asset additions related to land or building
improvements to new or existing assets or purchases of new (non-replacement) equipment or software related to specific projects deemed necessary expenditures.
We have announced several project capital investments, including the following: Churchill Downs Racetrack First Turn Experience and the Paddock Project, the Derby City Gaming Expansion and
Hotel, Derby City Gaming Downtown, the Ellis Park HRM facility in Owensboro, Kentucky, the Terre Haute Casino Resort, a New Hampshire HRM Facility, the Virginia HRM entertainment venues
in Dumfries and Emporia, and HRMs in our Louisiana OTBs. We currently expect our project capital to be approximately $575 to $675 million in 2023, although this amount may vary significantly
based on the timing of work completed, unanticipated delays, and timing of payments to third parties.
Common Stock Repurchase Program
On September 29, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a common stock repurchase program of up to $500.0 million ("2021 Stock Repurchase Program"). The 2021 Stock
Repurchase Program includes and is not in addition to the unspent amount remaining under the prior 2018 Stock Purchase Program authorization. Repurchases may be made at management’s
discretion from time to time on the open market (either with or without a 10b5-1 plan) or through privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended
or discontinued at any time. We had $270.2 million of repurchase authority remaining under this program on December 31, 2022.

39
Dividends
On October 25, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved an annual cash dividend on our common stock of $0.714 per outstanding share, which represented a 7% increase over the prior
year. The dividend was payable on January 6, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 2, 2022. The 7% increase marked the 12th consecutive year that the Company
has increased the dividend. The payment and amount of future dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our operating results, financial
condition, cash requirements and general business conditions at the time such payment is considered.

Credit Agreement
On December 27, 2017, we entered into a senior secured credit agreement ("2017 Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders. The 2017 Credit Agreement provided for a $700.0 million senior
secured revolving credit facility due 2024 (the "Revolver") and a $400.0 million senior secured term loan B due 2024 (the "Term Loan B"). Included in the maximum borrowing of $700.0 million
under the Revolver was a letter of credit sub facility not to exceed $50.0 million and a swing line commitment up to a maximum principal amount of $50.0 million.
The Term Loan B bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points and requires quarterly payments of 0.25% of the original $400.0 million balance, or $1.0 million per quarter. The Term Loan B may be
subject to additional mandatory prepayment from excess cash flow on an annual basis per the provisions of the 2017 Credit Agreement. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the
unused portion of the Revolver as determined by a pricing grid based on the consolidated total net secured leverage ratio of the Company. For the period ended December 31, 2022, the Company's
commitment fee rate was 0.175%.
On March 17, 2021, the Company entered into the Incremental Joinder Agreement No. 1 (the "Joinder") to its 2017 Credit Agreement which provided $300.0 million in New Term Loan
Commitments ("Term Loan B-1") as a new tranche of term loans under the existing 2017 Credit Agreement (as conformed to recognize the new loan) and carries a maturity date of March 17, 2028.
The Term Loan B-1 bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points and requires quarterly payments of 0.25% of the original $300.0 million balance. The Term Loan B-1 may be subject to additional
mandatory prepayment from excess cash flow on an annual basis per the provisions of the 2017 Credit Agreement.
On April 13, 2022, the Company amended the 2017 Credit Agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") to extend the maturity date of its existing Revolver to April 13, 2027, to increase the
commitments under the existing Revolver from $700.0 million to $1.2 billion, and to increase the swing line commitment from $50.0 million to $100.0 million. The amendment also provides for a
senior secured Delayed Draw Term Loan A due April 13, 2027 in the amount of $800.0 million, which was drawn on November 1, 2022 as part of the financing for the P2E Transaction. For more
information regarding the P2E Transaction, refer to Note 3, Acquisitions, to the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

40
The Revolver and Delayed Draw Term Loan A bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 10 basis points, plus a variable applicable margin which is determined by the
Company's net leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2022, that applicable margin was 125 basis points which was based on the pricing grid in the Credit Agreement. During 2022, we have borrowed
$664.1 million on our Revolver which provided the Company with financing for the Chasers, Ellis Park, and P2E Transactions. For more regarding the Chasers, Ellis Park and P2E Transactions, refer
to Note 3, Acquisitions, to the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company had
$524.8 million available borrowing capacity, after consideration of $11.1 million in outstanding letters of credit, under the Revolver as of December 31, 2022.
The phase-out of LIBOR for existing debt agreements is set for June 30, 2023. The Credit Agreement includes a general process for establishing an alternative reference rate to the extent LIBOR is
phased out. The Company is in the process of transitioning its financing from LIBOR to alternative reference rates. These transition activities are not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s financial statements.
The Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all the wholly-owned assets of the Company. The Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, which
include limitations on liens, investments, indebtedness, dispositions, mergers and acquisitions, the making of restricted payments, changes in the nature of business, changes in fiscal year, and
transactions with affiliates. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants providing for the maintenance of a maximum consolidated secured net leverage ratio and maintenance of a
minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio.

Actual as of
December 31, 2022 Requirement
Interest coverage ratio 6.6 to 1.0 > 2.5 to 1.0
Consolidated total secured net leverage ratio 0.9 to 1.0 < 4.0 to 1.0

The Company was compliant with all applicable covenants on December 31, 2022.
2027 Senior Notes
On March 25, 2019, we completed an offering of $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Senior Unsecured Notes that mature on April 1, 2027 (the "2027 Senior Notes") in a private

private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S
under the Securities Act. The Existing 2028 Notes were issued at par, with interest payable on January 15th and July 15th of each year, commencing on July 15, 2018. The Company used the net

On March 17, 2021, the Company completed an offering of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Senior Unsecured Notes that mature on January 15, 2028 (the "Additional 2028
Notes") in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with
Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Additional 2028 Notes were offered under the indenture dated as of December 27, 2017, governing the $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of
4.75% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028 and form a part of the same series for purposes of the indenture. Upon completion of this offering, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Existing
2028 Notes, together with the Additional 2028 Notes (collectively, the "2028 Senior Notes"), is $700.0 million.
The Additional 2028 Notes were issued at 103.25% of the principal amount, plus interest deemed to have accrued from January 15, 2021, with interest payable on January 15th and July 15th of each
year, commencing on July 15, 2021. The 2028 Senior

41
Notes will vote as one class under the indenture governing the 2028 Senior Notes. The 3.25% premium is being amortized through interest expense, net over the term of the Additional 2028 Notes.
The Company used the net proceeds from the Additional 2028 Notes and the Term Loan B-1: (i) to repay indebtedness outstanding under our Revolver, (ii) to fund related transaction fees and
expenses, and (iii) for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The 2028 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated December 27, 2017 (the "2028 Indenture"), among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors (the "2028

investments, (iv) create liens, (v) allow restrictions on the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments, (vi) sell assets, (vii) merge or consolidate with other entities,
and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates.
2030 Senior Notes
On April 13, 2022, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company completed an offering of $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes that mature on April 13, 2030
(the "2030 Senior Notes") in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A that was exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons in
accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The offering of the 2030 Senior Notes was part of the financing utilized for the P2E Transaction. The Company held the net proceeds of this
transaction of $1.2 billion in escrow until the proceeds were utilized to complete the P2E Transaction on November 1, 2022, at which time CDI assumed the obligation and became the Issuer.
The 2030 Senior Notes were issued at 100% of the principal amount, plus interest deemed to have accrued from April 13, 2022, with interest payable in arrears on April 1st and October 1st of each
year, commencing on October 1, 2022. The 2030 Senior Notes will vote as one class under the indenture governing the 2030 Senior Notes.

Interest includes the estimated contractual payments under our Credit Facility assuming no change in the weighted average borrowing rate of 5.77%, which was the rate in place as of
December 31, 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $6.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies and recently adopted accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to consolidated financial statements
included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based
on our historical experience, contract terms, observance of known trends in our Company and the industry as a whole and information available from other outside sources. Our estimates affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from those initial estimates.
Our critical accounting estimates relate to goodwill and certain indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Goodwill and certain indefinite-lived intangible assets
Acquisition of certain identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets
In conjunction with the acquisition of a business, the Company records identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. Our indefinite-
lived intangible assets primarily consist of gaming rights and trademarks. Gaming rights and trademarks are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets that do not require amortization based on our
future expectations to operate our gaming facilities and use the trademarks indefinitely, and our historical experience in renewing these intangible assets at minimal cost with various state gaming
commissions.
We use various valuation methods to determine initial fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets, including the Greenfield Method and relief-from-royalty method of the income approach, all
of which use significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs, as defined by the fair value hierarchy. The use of these valuation methods requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions
about future revenue and operating expenses, expected start-up costs, capital expenditures, royalty rate, and the discount rate. The fair values of gaming rights are generally determined using the
Greenfield Method, which is an income approach methodology that calculates the present value based on a projected cash flow stream. This method assumes

43
that the gaming rights provides the opportunity to develop a casino or historical racing facility in a specified region, and that the present value of the projected cash flows are a result of the realization
of advantages contained in these rights. Under this methodology, the acquirer is expected to absorb all start-up costs, as well as incur all expenses pertaining to the acquisition and/or the creation of all
tangible and intangible assets. The estimated future revenue and operating expenses, start-up costs of the acquired business, and the discount rate are the primary assumptions and estimates used in
these valuations. The fair values of trademarks are generally determined using the relief-from-royalty method of the income approach, which estimates the fair value of the intangible asset by
discounting the fair value of the hypothetical royalty payments a market participant would be willing to pay to enjoy the benefits of the trademarks. The estimated future revenue, royalty rate, and the
discount rate are the primary assumptions and estimates used in these valuations. The discount rates used to discount expected future cash flows to present value are generally derived from the
weighted average cost of capital analysis and adjusted for the size and/or risk of the asset. Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different
results.
Assessments of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets
We perform our annual review for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on April 1 of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it
is more likely than not the asset is impaired. Adverse industry or economic trends, lower projections of profitability, or a sustained decline in our market capitalization, among other items, may be
indications of potential impairment issues which are triggering events requiring the testing of an asset’s carrying value for recoverability.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are required to be tested annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an asset is
impaired. An entity may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to complete the impairment test using a more likely than not criteria. If an entity believes it is more likely
than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill, the quantitative impairment test can be bypassed. Alternatively, an entity has an
unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. If a quantitative impairment test of goodwill is required, we generally
determine the fair value under the market and income valuation approaches using inputs primarily related to discounted projected cash flows and price multiples of publicly traded comparable
companies. If a quantitative impairment test of our indefinite-lived intangible assets is required, we generally determine the fair value using the Greenfield Method for gaming rights and relief-from-
royalty method of the income approach for trademarks. Qualitative factors include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors and overall financial performance, among
others. These factors require significant judgments and estimates, and application of alternative assumptions could produce materially different results. Evaluations of possible impairment require us
to estimate, among other factors, forecasts of future operating results, revenue growth, operating expense, tax rates, start-up costs, capital expenditures, depreciation, working capital, discount rates,
long-term growth rates, risk premiums, royalty rates, terminal values, and fair values of our reporting units and assets. The impairment tests for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are
subject to uncertainties arising from such events as changes in competitive conditions, the current economic environment, material changes in growth rate assumptions that could positively or
negatively impact anticipated future operating conditions and cash flows, changes in the discount rate, and the impact of strategic decisions. If any of these factors were to materially change, such
change may require a reevaluation of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different
results.

44
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in:
• general economic trends; and
• interest rate and credit risk.
General economic trends
Our business is sensitive to consumer confidence and reductions in consumers' discretionary spending, which may result from challenging economic conditions, unemployment levels and other
changes in the economy. Demand for entertainment and leisure activities is sensitive to consumers’ disposable incomes, which can be adversely affected by economic conditions and unemployment
levels. This could result in fewer patrons visiting our racetracks, HRM entertainment venues, online wagering sites, and gaming facilities, and/or may impact our customers’ ability to wager with the
same frequency and to maintain wagering levels.
Interest rate and credit risk
Our primary exposure to market risk relates to changes in interest rates. On December 31, 2022, we had $2.1 billion outstanding under our Credit Agreement, which bears interest at LIBOR and
SOFR based variable rates. We are exposed to market risk on variable rate debt due to potential adverse changes in these rates. Assuming the outstanding balance of the debt facility remains constant,
a one-percentage point increase in the LIBOR or SOFR rate would reduce net income and cash flows from operating activities by $15.4 million. The phase-out of LIBOR for existing debit
agreements is set for June 30, 2023. The Credit Agreement includes a general process for establishing an alternative reference rate to the extent LIBOR is phased out. The Company is in the process
of transitioning its financing from LIBOR to alternative reference rates. These transition activities are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Churchill Downs Incorporated ("CDI" or the "Company") has been creating extraordinary entertainment experiences for nearly 150 years, beginning with the Company’s most iconic and enduring
asset, the Kentucky Derby. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, CDI has expanded through the development of live and historical racing entertainment venues, the growth of the TwinSpires horse
racing online wagering business and the operation and development of regional casino gaming properties.
We own and operate 13 live and historical racing entertainment venues in three states, one of the largest online horse racing wagering platforms in the U.S., twelve casino gaming properties in ten
states and ten retail sportsbooks. We were organized as a Kentucky corporation in 1928, and our principal executive offices are located in Louisville, Kentucky.
In the first quarter of 2022, we updated our operating segments to reflect the internal management reporting used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate results of operations and to assess
performance and allocate resources. During the first quarter of 2022, our chief operating decision maker decided to include the results of our United Tote business in the TwinSpires segment as we
evolve our strategy to integrate the United Tote offering with TwinSpires Horse Racing, which we believe will create additional business-to-business revenue opportunities. For additional
information, refer to Note 21, Segment Information.
Acquisition of Peninsula Pacific Entertainment
On November 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Peninsula Pacific Entertainment LLC ("P2E") with a base purchase price of $2.75 billion ("P2E
Transaction") subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments. The P2E assets acquired included Colonial Downs Racetrack ("Colonial Downs") and six Historical Racing Machine
("HRM") entertainment venues in Virginia, del Lago Resort & Casino in New York ("del Lago"), and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Iowa ("Hard Rock Sioux City"), as well as the development rights
for Dumfries and Emporia HRM facilities in Virginia, up to five additional HRM entertainment venues in Virginia, and the potential for ONE Casino and Resort in Virginia in collaboration with
Urban One.
Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions, for further information on the transaction.
Acquisition of Ellis Park and Chasers Poker Room
Chasers Poker Room Acquisition
On September 2, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Chasers Poker Room ("Chasers") in Salem, New Hampshire (the "Chasers Transaction"). As part of the transaction, we made an
initial payment to the sellers for rights to operate the poker room and to build an HRM venue. Additional payments will be made once all necessary permits are obtained, and the planned historical
racing entertainment venue is opened. The Company plans to develop an expanded charitable gaming facility in Salem to accommodate HRMs and table games.
Ellis Park Acquisition
On September 26, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Ellis Park Racing & Gaming ("Ellis Park") in Henderson, Kentucky, from Enchantment Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Laguna
Development Corporation, for total consideration of $79.0 million in cash, subject to certain working capital and other purchase price adjustments (the "Ellis Park Transaction").
Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions, for further information on the transactions.
Impact of the COVID-19 Global Pandemic
In March 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, we temporarily suspended operations at our wholly-owned and managed gaming properties. In May 2020, we began to reopen our properties
with patron restrictions and gaming limitations, which fluctuated with the changing environment. All of our gaming properties have remained open since January 2021.
The 146th Kentucky Oaks and Derby were held in the third quarter of 2020 without spectators. During the second quarter of 2021, we held the 147th Kentucky Oaks and Derby with capacity
restrictions in compliance with Kentucky venue limitations at that time. Due to such restrictions, our revenues from the Kentucky Oaks and Derby in each year were significantly less than we would
otherwise expect. The 148th Kentucky Oaks and Derby were held in the second quarter of 2022 without capacity restrictions.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of variant strains, will continue to impact the Company remains uncertain and will depend on many factors that are not within
our control. We will continue to monitor for new developments related to the pandemic and assess these developments to maintain continuity in our operations.

Exit of the Direct Online Sports and Casino Business

In 2022, the Company exited the direct online Sports and Casino business in every state except for Pennsylvania and Arizona. The Company will maintain its retail Sports operations and has
monetized two of its online market access licenses.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
We consolidate all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest and variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which we or one of our consolidated subsidiaries is the primary beneficiary.
We consolidate a VIE when we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the results of the VIE and the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of the
entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE.
Use of Estimates
Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions
that we believe are reasonable based on our historical experience, contract terms, observance of known trends in our Company and the industry as a whole and information available from other
outside sources. Our estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those initial estimates.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are required to be tested annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an asset is
impaired. An entity may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to complete the impairment test using a more likely than not criteria. If an entity believes it is more likely
than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill, the quantitative impairment test can be bypassed. Alternatively, an entity has an
unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. If a quantitative impairment test of goodwill is required, we generally
determine the fair value under the market and income valuation approaches using inputs primarily related to discounted projected cash flows and price multiples of publicly traded comparable
companies. If a quantitative impairment test of our indefinite-lived intangible assets is required, we generally determine the fair value using the Greenfield Method for gaming rights and relief-from-
royalty method of the income approach for trademarks. The Greenfield Method is an income approach methodology that calculates the present value based on a projected cash flow stream.
Qualitative factors include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors and overall financial performance, among others. These factors require judgments and estimates,
and application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different results. Evaluations of possible impairment require us to estimate, among other factors, forecasts of future operating
results, revenue growth, operating expense, tax rates, start-up costs, capital expenditures, depreciation, working capital, discount rates, long-term growth rates, risk premiums, royalty rates, terminal
values and fair market values of our reporting units and assets. The estimated future revenue, operating expenses, start-up costs and discount rate are the primary inputs to the Greenfield Method.
Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different results.
We perform our annual review for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on April 1 of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it
is more likely than not the relevant asset is impaired. Adverse industry or economic trends, lower projections of profitability, or a sustained decline in our market capitalization, among other items,
may be indications of potential impairment issues, which are triggering events requiring the testing of an asset’s carrying value for recoverability. Goodwill is allocated and evaluated for impairment
at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, referred to as a component. We are required to aggregate the components of an operating
segment into one reporting unit if they have similar economic characteristics.
Our gaming rights and trademarks are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets that do not require amortization based on our future expectations to operate our gaming facilities and use the
trademarks indefinitely and our historical experience in renewing these intangible assets at minimal cost with various state gaming commissions. The indefinite lived-intangible assets carrying value
are tested annually, or more frequently, if indicators of impairment exist, by comparing the fair value of the recorded assets to the associated carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the gaming
rights and trademark intangible assets exceed fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.

52
 Churchill Downs Incorporated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Property and Equipment

We review the carrying value of our property and equipment to be held and used in our operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be
recoverable from estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the asset's use and eventual disposition. Adverse industry or economic trends, lower projections of profitability, or
a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, among other items, may be indications of potential impairment issues. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value,
no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, an impairment is recorded based on the fair value of the asset.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: 10 to 40 years for grandstands and buildings, 2 to 10 years for equipment, 2 to
10 years for furniture and fixtures and 10 to 20 years for tracks and other improvements.
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue from pari-mutuel wagering transactions with customers related to live races, simulcast races, and historical races as well as simulcast host fees earned from other wagering sites.
Our racetracks that host live races also generate revenue through sponsorships, admissions (including luxury suites), personal seat licenses ("PSLs"), television rights, concessions, programs and
parking. Concessions, programs, and parking revenue is recognized once the good or service is delivered.
Our live racetracks' revenue and income are influenced by our racing calendar. Similarly, TwinSpires Horse Racing revenue and income is influenced by racing calendars. Therefore, revenue and
operating results for any interim quarter are not generally indicative of the revenue and operating results for the year and may not be comparable with results for the corresponding period of the
previous year. We historically have had fewer live racing days during the first quarter of each year, and the majority of our live racing revenue occurs during the second quarter with the running of the
Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby.
For live races we present at our racetracks, we recognize revenue on wagers we accept from customers at our racetrack ("on-track revenue") and revenue we earn from exporting our live racing
signals to other racetracks, off-track betting facilities ("OTBs"), and advance deposit wagering providers ("export revenue"). For simulcast races we display at our racetracks, OTBs, and TwinSpires'
platforms, we recognize revenue we earn from providing a wagering service to our customers on these imported live races ("import revenue"). TwinSpires import revenue is generated through
advance deposit wagering which consists of patrons wagering through an advance deposit account. Each wagering contract for on-track revenue, and import revenue contains a single performance
obligation and our export revenue contracts contain a series of distinct services that form a single performance obligation. The transaction price for on-track revenue and import revenue is fixed based
on the established commission rate we are entitled to retain. The transaction price for export revenue is variable based on the simulcast host fee we charge our customers for exporting our signal. We
may provide cash incentives in conjunction with wagering transactions we accept from TwinSpires' customers. These cash incentives represent consideration payable to a customer and therefore are
treated as a reduction of the transaction price for the wagering transaction. Our export revenue contracts generally have a duration of one year or less. These arrangements are licenses of intellectual
property containing a usage-based royalty. As a result, we have elected to use the practical expedient to omit disclosure related to remaining performance obligations for our export revenue contracts.
We recognize on-track revenue, export revenue, and import revenue once the live race event is made official by the relevant racing regulatory body.
We recognize revenue we earn from providing a wagering service to our customers on historical races at our HRM facilities. The transaction price for HRM revenue is based on the established
commission rate we are entitled to retain for each wager on the HRM. We recognize HRM revenue once the historical race has been completed on the HRM, net of the liability to the pool.
We evaluate our on-track revenue, export revenue, import revenue, and HRM revenue contracts in order to determine whether we are acting as the principal or as the agent when providing services,
which we consider in determining if revenue should be reported gross or net. An entity is a principal if it controls the specified service before that service is transferred to a customer.
The revenue we recognize for on-track revenue, import revenue, and HRM revenue is the commission we are entitled to retain for providing a wagering service to our customers. For these
arrangements, we are the principal as we control the wagering service; therefore, any charges, including any applicable simulcast fees, we incur for delivering the wagering service are presented as
operating expenses.
For export revenue, our customer is the third-party wagering site such as a racetrack, OTB, or advance deposit wagering provider. Therefore, the revenue we recognize for export revenue is the
simulcast host fee we earn for exporting our racing signal to the third-party wagering site.
Our admission contracts are either for a single live racing event day or multiple days. Our PSLs, sponsorships, and television rights contracts generally relate to multiple live racing event days.
Multiple day admission, PSLs, sponsorships, and television

53
 Churchill Downs Incorporated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

rights contracts contain a distinct series of services that form single performance obligations. Sponsorship contracts generally include performance obligations related to admissions and advertising
rights at our racetracks. Television rights contracts contain a performance obligation related to the rights to distribute certain live racing events on media platforms. The transaction prices for our
admissions, PSLs, sponsorships, and television rights contracts are fixed. We allocate the transaction price to our sponsorship contract performance obligations based on the estimated relative
standalone selling price of each distinct service.
The revenue we recognize for admissions to a live racing event day is recognized once the related event is complete. For admissions, PSLs, sponsorships, and television rights contracts that relate to
multiple live racing event days, we recognize revenue over time using an output method of each completed live racing event day as our measure of progress. Each completed live racing event day
corresponds with the transfer of the relevant service to a customer and therefore is considered a faithful depiction of our efforts to satisfy the promises in these contracts. This output method results in
measuring the value transferred to date to the customer relative to the remaining services promised under the contracts. Certain premium live racing event days such as the Kentucky Derby and Oaks
result in a higher value of revenue allocated relative to other live racing event days due to, among other things, the quality of thoroughbreds racing, higher levels of on-track attendance, national
broadcast audience, local and national media coverage, and overall entertainment value of the event. While these performance obligations are satisfied over time, the timing of when this revenue is
recognized is directly associated with the occurrence of our live racing events, which is when the majority of our revenues recognized at a point in time are also recognized.
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers for our long-term contracts for racing event-related services. We generally invoice customers prior to delivery of
services for our admissions, PSLs, sponsorships, and television rights contracts. We recognize a receivable and a contract liability at the time we have an unconditional right to receive payment. When
cash is received in advance of delivering services under our contracts, we defer revenue and recognize it in accordance with our policies for that type of contract. In situations where the timing of
revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined our contracts do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of our invoicing terms is to allow
our customers to secure the right to the specific services provided under our contracts, not to receive financing from our customers.
Gaming revenue primarily consists of gaming transactions. Other operating revenue, such as food and beverage or hotel revenue, is recognized once delivery of the product or service has occurred.
The transaction price for gaming transactions is the difference between gaming wins and losses. Gaming wager revenue is recognized when the wager settles.

The majority of our HRM facilities and gaming properties offer loyalty programs that enable customers to earn loyalty points based on their play. HRM and gaming transactions involve two
performance obligations for those customers earning loyalty points under the Company’s loyalty programs and a single performance obligation for customers who do not participate in the program.
Loyalty points are primarily redeemable for free wagering activities and food and beverage. For purposes of allocating the transaction price in an HRM and gaming transaction between the wagering
performance obligation and the obligation associated with the loyalty points earned, the Company allocates an amount to the loyalty point contract liability based on the stand-alone selling price of
the points earned, which is determined by the value of a loyalty point that can be redeemed for wagering activities or food and beverage. For gaming transactions, an amount of the transaction price
allocated to the gaming performance obligation using the residual approach as the stand-alone price for wagers is highly variable and no set established price exists for such wagers. For HRM
transactions, the amount of the transaction price allocated to the HRM performance obligation is the commission rate we are entitled to retain. The loyalty point contract liability amount is deferred
and recognized as revenue when the customer redeems the points for a wagering transaction or food and beverage, and such goods or services are delivered to the customer.
Income Taxes
We use estimates and judgments for financial reporting to determine our current tax liability and deferred taxes. In accordance with the liability method of accounting for income taxes, we recognize
the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial
statements or tax returns.
Adjustments to deferred taxes are determined based upon the changes in differences between the book basis and tax basis of our assets and liabilities and measured using enacted tax rates we estimate
will be applicable when these differences are expected to reverse. Changes in current tax laws, enacted tax rates or the estimated level of taxable income or non-deductible expense could change the
valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and affect the overall effective tax rate and tax provision.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the
position taken or the amount of the position that will be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available
evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are
not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent
likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with the tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is
reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities
upon examination.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to cash to be cash equivalents. We have, from time to time, cash in the bank in excess of federally
insured limits. Under our cash management system, checks issued but not yet presented to banks that would result in negative bank balances when presented are classified as a current liability in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Restricted Cash and Account Wagering Deposit Liabilities
Restricted cash includes deposits collected from our TwinSpires' customers. Other amounts included in restricted cash represent amounts due to horsemen for purses, stakes and awards that are paid
in accordance with the terms of our contractual agreements or statutory requirements.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable
Upon our adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") of the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326") on January 1, 2020,
we maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for current expected credit losses on our financial assets measured at amortized cost which are primarily included in Accounts receivable, net in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company evaluates current expected credit losses on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Write-offs are recognized when
the Company concludes that all or a portion of a financial asset is no longer collectible. Any subsequent recovery is recognized when it occurs.
Internal Use Software
Internal use software costs for our TwinSpires' segment software are capitalized in Property and equipment, net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, in accordance with accounting
guidance governing computer software developed or obtained for internal use. Once the software is placed in operation, we amortize the capitalized software over the software's estimated economic
useful life, which is generally three years. We capitalized internal use software of approximately $11.2 million in 2022, $10.7 million in 2021, and $10.5 million in 2020. We incurred amortization
expense of approximately $10.7 million in 2022, $10.3 million in 2021, and $9.4 million in 2020, for projects which had been placed in service.
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
We adhere to a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of
the following three categories: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or
liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and Level 3:
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of
input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates
We have investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method, carrying value is adjusted for our share of the investees' income and losses,
amortization of certain basis differences as well as capital contributions to and distributions from these companies. We use the cumulative earnings approach to present distributions received from
equity method investees. Distributions in excess of equity method income are recognized as a return of investment and recorded as investing cash inflows in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows. We classify income and losses as well as gains and impairments related to our investments in unconsolidated affiliates as a component of Other income (expense) in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may have experienced an
"other-than-temporary" decline in value. If such conditions exist, we compare the estimated fair value of the investment to the investment's carrying value to determine if an impairment is

55
 Churchill Downs Incorporated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

indicated and determine whether the impairment is "other-than-temporary" based on an assessment of all relevant factors, including consideration of our intent and ability to retain our investment
until the recovery of the unrealized loss. We estimate fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis based on estimated future results of the investee.
Business Combinations
We account for acquisitions of businesses in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. We initially allocate the purchase price of an acquisition to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on their estimated fair values, with any excess of consideration transferred recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of acquisitions are included in the consolidated financial statements
from their respective dates of acquisition. Costs incurred to complete the business combination are not considered part of consideration and are expensed as incurred. Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions,
for further information.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and categorize as either operating or finance based on the criteria of ASC 842. An arrangement contains a lease when the arrangement conveys
the right to control the use of an identified asset over the lease term. Operating and finance leases are included in Property and equipment, net; Accrued expense and Other current liabilities; and
Other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. We generally do not separate lease and non-lease components for our lease contracts. We do not apply the right-of-use assets
("ROUA") and leases liability recognition requirements to short-term leases.
Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. These leases do not provide an implicit rate, so
therefore we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. ROUAs are recognized at
the lease commencement date at the value of the lease liability, adjusted for any lease payments made prior to commencement and exclude lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The lease
terms include all non-cancelable periods and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease
payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating leases. Interest expense on the finance lease liabilities is recorded separately using the interest method.
We do not have any material leases where we are the lessor.
Debt Issuance Costs and Loan Origination Fees
Debt issuance costs and loan origination fees associated with our term debt, revolver, and notes payable are amortized as interest expense over the term of each respective financial instrument. Debt
issuance costs and loan origination fees associated with our term debt and notes payable are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related liability. Debt issuance costs and
loan origination fees associated with our revolver are presented as an asset.
Casino and Pari-mutuel Taxes
We recognize casino and pari-mutuel tax expense based on the statutory requirements of the federal, state, and local jurisdictions in which we conduct business. All of our casino taxes and the
majority of our pari-mutuel taxes are gross receipts taxes levied on the gaming entity. We recognize these taxes as Live and Historical Racing, TwinSpires, Gaming, and All Other operating expenses
in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). In certain jurisdictions governing our pari-mutuel contracts with customers, there are specific pari-mutuel taxes that are assessed on
winning wagers from our customers, which we collect and remit to the government. These taxes are presented on a net basis.
Purse Expense
We recognize purse expense based on the statutorily or contractually determined amount that is required to be paid out in the form of purses to the qualifying finishers of horse races run at our
racetracks in the period in which wagering occurs. We incur a liability for all unpaid purses that will be paid out on a future live race event.
Self-insurance Accruals
We are self-insured up to certain limits for costs associated with general liability, workers’ compensation and certain employee health coverage costs, and we purchase insurance for claims that
exceed our self-insurance retention or deductible levels. We record self-insurance reserves that include accruals of estimated settlements for known claims ("Case Reserves"), as well as accruals of
third-party actuarial estimates for claims incurred but not yet reported ("IBNR"). Case Reserves represent estimated liabilities for unpaid losses, based on a claims administrator's estimates of future
payments on individual reported claims, including allocated loss adjustment expense, which generally include claims settlement costs such as legal fees. IBNR includes the provision for unreported
claims, changes in case reserves and future payments on reopened claims.

56
 Churchill Downs Incorporated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Key variables and assumptions include, but are not limited to, loss development factors and trend factors such as changes in workers' compensation laws, medical care costs and wages. These loss
development factors and trend factors are developed using our actual historical losses. It is possible that reasonable alternative selections would produce different reserve estimates.
Advertising and Marketing
We expense the costs of general advertising, marketing and associated promotional expenditures at the time the costs are incurred. We incurred advertising and marketing expense of approximately
$52.9 million in 2022, $74.5 million in 2021, and $31.4 million in 2020 in our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Stock-Based Compensation
All stock-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of performance share units and restricted stock, are recognized as compensation expense over the service period based on the
fair value on the date of grant. For awards that have a graded vesting schedule, we recognize expense on a straight-line basis for each separately vesting portion of the award. We recognize forfeitures
of awards as incurred.
Computation of Net Income per Common Share
Net income per common share is presented for both basic earnings per common share ("Basic EPS") and diluted earnings per common share ("Diluted EPS"). Basic EPS is based upon the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding, excluding unvested stock awards, during the period plus vested common stock equivalents that have not yet been converted to common shares.
Diluted EPS is based upon the weighted average number of shares used to calculate Basic EPS and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common
shares result from applying the treasury stock method to unvested stock awards.
Common Stock Share Repurchases
From time-to-time, we repurchase shares of our common stock under share repurchase programs and privately negotiated transactions authorized by our Board of Directors. Share repurchases
constitute authorized but unissued shares under the Kentucky laws under which we are incorporated. Our common stock has no par or stated value. We record the full value of share repurchases, upon
the trade date, against common stock on our Consolidated Balance Sheets except when to do so would result in a negative balance in such common stock account. In such instances, we record the
cost of any further share repurchases as a reduction to retained earnings. Due to the large number of shares of our common stock repurchased over the past several years, our common stock balance
will frequently be zero at the end of any given reporting period. Refer to Note 10, Shareholders' Equity, for additional information on our share repurchases.
Insurance Recoveries
The Company maintains insurance policies that provide coverage for property damages and business interruption. Losses due to physical damages are recognized during the accounting period in
which the loss occurs, while the amount of monetary assets to be received from the insurance policy is recognized when receipt of insurance recoveries is probable. Losses, which are reduced by the
related probable insurance recoveries, are recorded as operating expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Anticipated proceeds in excess of
recognized losses would be considered a gain contingency and recognized when the contingency related to the insurance claim has been resolved.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted on January 1, 2021
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain
exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments also clarify and amend existing guidance to improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other
areas of Topic 740. This ASU was effective for public business entities for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material
impact on our business.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - effective in 2023 or thereafter
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients
and exceptions to applying the guidance on contract modifications, hedge accounting, and other transactions, and to simplify the accounting for transitioning from the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance. In December 2022, the FASB deferred the date for which this guidance can be
applied from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The use of LIBOR was phased out at the end of 2021, although the phase-out of U.S. dollar LIBOR for existing agreements has been delayed
until June 2023. We continue to monitor developments related to the LIBOR transition and identification of an alternative, market-accepted rate.

3. ACQUISITIONS
Chasers Poker Room
On September 2, 2022, the Company completed the Chasers Transaction which was treated as an asset acquisition because substantially all the value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in
the gaming rights. The Company made an initial payment at closing and recorded a liability for the remaining payments due on a future date. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company
recorded an $82.2 million gaming rights intangible asset which represented its fair value at the date of acquisition.
The fair value of the gaming rights acquired in the Chasers Transaction was determined using the Greenfield Method, which is an income approach methodology that calculates the present value of
the gaming rights intangible asset based on a projected cash flow stream. This method assumes that the gaming rights intangible asset provides the opportunity to develop a gaming or historical racing
facility in a specified region, and that the present value of the projected cash flows is a result of the realization of advantages contained in these rights. Under this methodology, the acquirer is
expected to absorb all start-up costs, as well as incur all expenses pertaining to the acquisition and/or the creation of all tangible and intangible assets. The estimated future revenue, future operating
expenses, start-up costs, and discount rate were the primary inputs in the valuation. The gaming rights intangible asset was assigned an indefinite useful life based on the Company's expected use of
the asset and determination that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors limit the useful life of the gaming rights.
Ellis Park
On September 26, 2022, the Company completed the Ellis Park Transaction for total consideration of $79.0 million in cash, plus $3.5 million in working capital and other preliminary purchase price
adjustments. The fair values of the Ellis Park Transaction were based upon preliminary valuations. Estimates and assumptions used in such valuations are subject to change, which could be
significant, within the measurement period up to one year from the acquisition date. The areas of the preliminary valuations that are not yet finalized relate to the amounts for income taxes, working
capital adjustments and the final amount of residual goodwill. The Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist in determining fair values of net assets acquired at the acquisition date
during the measurement period. The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net of cash acquired of $1.4 million, at the date of acquisition were as follows: property and
equipment of $19.3 million, indefinite-lived gaming rights of $47.4 million, indefinite-lived trademark of $3.6 million, goodwill of $9.2 million, and net working capital of $1.6 million.
The Company has not included other disclosures regarding the Chasers or Ellis Park Transactions as they are immaterial to our business.
P2E Transaction

On November 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets of P2E for a preliminary purchase consideration of $2,835.9 million, net of cash acquired. The P2E assets
acquired included Colonial Downs and six HRM entertainment venues in Virginia, del Lago in New York, and Hard Rock Sioux City in Iowa, as well as the development rights for Dumfries and
Emporia HRM facilities in Virginia, up to five additional HRM entertainment venues in Virginia, and ONE Casino & Resort in Virginia in collaboration with Urban One.
The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net of cash acquired of $126.4 million, as of November 1, 2022:

Accounts payable 4.0

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 96.9
Other liabilities assumed 17.5
Total liabilities assumed $ 118.4
Net assets acquired (net of cash) $ 2,835.9

The fair value of the intangible assets consists of the following:

(in millions) Fair Value Recognized
Gaming rights $ 1,865.6
Trademark 75.9
Total intangible assets $ 1,941.5

Current assets and current liabilities were valued at the existing carrying values, as these items are short term in nature and represent management's estimated fair value of the respective items at
November 1, 2022.

The property and equipment acquired primarily relates to land, buildings, equipment, and furniture and fixtures. The fair value of the land was determined using the market approach and the fair
values of the remaining property and equipment were primarily determined using the cost replacement method which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the assets.

The fair value of the gaming rights was determined using the Greenfield Method, which is an income approach methodology that calculates the present value of the overall business enterprise based
on a projected cash flow stream. This method assumes that the gaming rights intangible assets provide the opportunity to develop a casino or historical racing facility in a specified region, and that the
present value of the projected cash flows are a result of the realization of advantages contained in these rights. Under this methodology, the acquirer is expected to absorb all start-up costs, as well as
incur all expenses pertaining to the acquisition and/or the creation of all tangible and intangible assets. The estimated future revenue and operating expenses, start-up costs, and discount rates were the
primary assumptions and estimates in the valuation of the gaming rights. The gaming rights intangible assets were assigned an indefinite useful life based on the Company's expected use of the assets
and determination that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors limit the useful life of the gaming rights.

The trademark intangible assets were valued using the relief-from-royalty method of the income approach, which estimates the fair value of the intangible assets by discounting the fair value of the
hypothetical royalty payments a market participant would be willing to pay to enjoy the benefits of the assets. The estimated future revenue, royalty rates, and discount rates were the primary
assumptions and estimates in the valuation of the trademarks. The trademarks were assigned an indefinite useful life based on the Company’s intention to keep the trademarks for an indefinite period
of time.

Goodwill of $347.8 million was recognized due to the expected contribution of P2E to the Company's overall business strategy. The goodwill was assigned to the Gaming segment in the amount of
$129.1 million and to the Live and Historical Racing segment in the amount of $218.7 million and is mostly deductible for tax purposes.

59
 Churchill Downs Incorporated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Estimates and assumptions used in such valuations are subject to change, which could be significant, within the measurement period up to one year from the acquisition date. The preliminary
purchase consideration is subject to adjustment upon finalization of customary post-closing adjustments related to working capital. The primary areas of the preliminary valuation that are not yet
finalized relate to the fair values of amounts for income taxes, property and equipment, and intangible assets, adjustments to working capital, and the final amount of residual goodwill. The Company
expects to continue to obtain information to assist in determining fair values of net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period.

For the period November 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, the operations of the properties acquired as part of the P2E Transaction, including the associated retail sportsbooks, generated net
revenue of $109.7 million and net income of $42.9 million.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for the Company has been prepared assuming the P2E Transaction had occurred as of January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma
financial information is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results of operations that might have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of January 1,
2021.

4. DISPOSITIONS, ASSETS HELD FOR SALE & DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Calder Land Sale
On June 17, 2022, the Company closed on the sale of 115.7 acres of land near Calder Casino ("Calder") for $291.0 million or approximately $2.5 million per acre to Link Logistics Real Estate, a
Blackstone portfolio company. The Company received cash proceeds of $279.0 million which was net of $12.0 million of transaction costs. We recognized a gain of $274.6 million on the sale of the
land, which is included in Other income in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The gain consisted of cash proceeds of $279.0 million offset by
the carrying value of the assets sold of $4.4 million. The proceeds were held by a qualifying intermediary in an interest-bearing account until they could be utilized in a like-kind exchange.

The Company utilized proceeds and interest earned from the sale to purchase property as part of the P2E Transaction and to invest in other replacement properties that qualify as Internal Revenue
Code §1031 transactions to defer the federal income tax on the gain on the Calder land sale. The Company completed one reverse like-kind exchange in June 2022 involving our $9.9 million
investment in real property for the Derby City Gaming Downtown facility in Louisville, Kentucky, and one reverse like-kind exchange in December 2022 involving our $24.9 million investment in
real property for the Terre Haute Casino Resort in Vigo County, Indiana ("Terre Haute"). The remaining proceeds were used to execute a forward like-kind exchange with the P2E Transaction to
purchase real property associated with del Lago in November 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a $76.0 million deferred tax liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of December 31, 2021, the assets sold as part of the Calder land sale were classified as held for sale on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Calder's operations and assets
are included in the Gaming segment in our consolidated results.
Assets Held for Sale
On September 29, 2021, the Company announced an agreement to sell the 326-acre property in Arlington Heights, Illinois (the "Arlington Property"), to the Chicago Bears for $197.2 million.

The Company has classified certain assets of Arlington International Racecourse ("Arlington") totaling $82.0 million and $81.5 million as held for sale as of December 31, 2022 and December 31,
2021, respectively, on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Arlington’s operations and assets are included in All Other in our consolidated results.
The Company executed a forward like-kind exchange transaction by purchasing certain property as part of the P2E Transaction for $197.2 million. An exchange accommodation titleholder ("EAT"), a
type of variable interest entity, was used to facilitate this reverse like-kind exchange. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the EAT, thus the property held by the EAT has
been consolidated and recorded in Property and equipment, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. On February 15, 2023, the Company closed on the sale and fully realized all the
planned tax savings.

intangible assets of $82.2 million for the gaming rights related to the Chasers Transaction, as well as, $47.4 million for gaming rights and $3.6 million for trademarks related to the Ellis Park
Transaction. We also established indefinite-lived intangible assets of $1.9 billion for the gaming rights and $75.9 million for the trademarks related to the P2E Transaction. Refer to Note 3 -
Acquisitions for more information on the Chasers, Ellis Park and P2E Transactions.
Amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets was $4.7 million in 2022, $4.8 million in 2021, and $4.9 million in 2020, and is classified in operating expense in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). We submitted payments of $2.3 million in 2022 and 2021 for annual license fees for Calder, which are being amortized to expense over the
annual license period.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks and state gaming rights in Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, New Hampshire, New York,
Iowa, and Virginia.
Refer to Note 8, Asset Impairments, for information regarding intangible asset impairments recognized during 2022.
We performed our annual indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment analysis as of April 1, 2022, which included an assessment of qualitative and quantitative factors to determine whether it is
more likely than not that the fair values of the indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than the carrying amount. We concluded that the fair values of our indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded
their carrying value other than impairments described in Note 8, Assets Impairments.
Future estimated aggregate amortization expense on existing definite-lived intangible assets for each of the next five fiscal years is as follows (in millions):

Estimated Amortization
Years Ended December 31, Expense
2023 $ 2.4
2024 1.8
2025 1.0

2027 0.3

Future estimated amortization expense does not include additional payments of $2.3 million in 2023 and in each year thereafter for the ongoing amortization of future expected annual Calder license
fees not yet incurred or paid.

8. ASSET IMPAIRMENTS
Presque Isle Impairment 2022
During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company evaluated whether it was more likely than not that any of the Company's intangible assets, goodwill, or property and equipment, were
impaired. The Company concluded that a trigger event for impairment testing occurred related to the Presque Isle Downs and Casino ("Presque Isle") gaming rights, trademark, and the reporting
unit's goodwill due to the impact and uncertainty of current negative economic trends. Factors considered in this evaluation included, among other things, the amount of the fair value over carrying
value from the annual impairment testing performed as of April 1, 2022, changes in carrying values, changes in discount rates, and the impact of negative economic trends on cash flows.
Based on the 2022 trigger event, the Company updated the discount rate to reflect the increased uncertainty of the cash flows and updated the projected cash flow stream. As a result, the Company
recognized an impairment of $33.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 for the Presque Isle gaming rights and trademark.
The fair value of the Presque Isle reporting unit's goodwill was determined under the market and income valuation approaches using inputs primarily related to discounted projected cash flows and
price multiples of publicly traded comparable companies.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the Company performed the impairment testing of the Presque Isle gaming rights and trademark prior to
testing Presque Isle goodwill. Based on the trigger event, the Company updated the discount rate to reflect the increased uncertainty of the cash flows and updated the project cash flow stream. As a
result, the Company did not recognize an impairment for Presque Isle goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2022 because the fair value exceeded the carrying value.
Other Impairments
On February 24, 2022, the Company announced plans to exit the direct online Sports and Casino business. The Company will maintain its retail Sports operations and pursue monetization of its
online market access licenses. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company evaluated whether this planned exit would indicate it is more likely than not that any of the Company’s
intangible assets, long-lived assets, current assets or property and equipment, were impaired. Based on the Company’s evaluation, the Company concluded that a trigger event for impairment testing
occurred related to certain TwinSpires assets. As a result, the Company recorded a $4.9 million non-cash impairment charge related to certain assets in the TwinSpires segment.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a $4.1 million non-cash impairment charge related to certain assets in the TwinSpires segment due to changes in expectations of
future realization of certain third-party market access royalty prepayments related to our New Jersey sports betting and iGaming that resulted in projected future cash flows being less than carrying
value in the fourth quarter of 2021.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded an $11.2 million non-cash impairment charge related to certain assets at Churchill Downs Racetrack included in our Live and
Historical Racing segment. The impairment was due to a change in the Churchill Downs Racetrack capital plans and the Company's planned use of these assets.
Presque Isle Impairment 2020
During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company evaluated whether events or circumstances changed that would indicate it is more likely than not that any of the Company's intangible assets,
goodwill, or property and equipment, were impaired. The Company concluded that a trigger event for impairment testing occurred related to the Presque Isle gaming rights, trademark, and the
reporting unit's goodwill due to the impact and uncertainty of the COVID-19 global pandemic.
The initial fair value of Presque Isle gaming rights in the first quarter of 2019 was determined using the Greenfield Method, which is an income approach methodology that calculates the present
value based on a projected cash flow stream. This method assumes that the Presque Isle gaming rights provide the opportunity to develop a casino and online wagering platform in a specified region,
and that the present value of the projected cash flows are a result of the realization of advantages contained in these rights. Under this methodology, the acquirer is expected to absorb all start-up
costs, as well as incur all expenses pertaining to the acquisition and / or the creation of all tangible and intangible assets. The estimated future revenue, operating expenses, start-up costs, and discount
rate were the primary inputs in the valuation.
Based on the trigger event, the Company updated the discount rate to reflect the increased uncertainty of the cash flows and updated the projected cash flow stream. As a result, the Company
recognized an impairment of $15.0 million in first quarter of 2020 for the Presque Isle gaming rights.

Income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes $ 608.8 $ 343.6 $ 8.0

Our income tax provision (benefit) is different from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate to income from continuing operations before taxes as follows:

Years Ended December 31,

(in millions) 2022 2021 2020
Federal statutory tax on earnings before income taxes $ 127.9 $ 72.1 $ 1.7

Income tax provision (benefit) $ 169.4 $ 94.5 $ (5.3)

The CARES Act provided, among other things, that any net operating loss arising in a tax year beginning in 2018, 2019 or 2020 may be carried back five years or carried forward indefinitely,
offsetting up to 100% of taxable income in tax years beginning before 2021. The Company filed a refund claim in 2021 from carrying back our 2020 net operating loss to a year before the statutory
corporate tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21% by the Tax Act. Due to the higher statutory rate applied to this net operating loss, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $13.3 million for
the year ended December 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2022, we had U.S. state and foreign net operating losses with tax values of $7.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. We have recorded a valuation allowance of $5.7 million
due to the fact that it is unlikely that we will generate income in certain state and foreign jurisdictions which is necessary to utilize the deferred tax assets. We also had U.S. state tax credits with a tax
value of $1.3 million that do not expire which we expect to fully utilize.
The Internal Revenue Service has completed audits through 2012. Tax years 2019 and after are open to examination. Tax year 2015 and 2018 are open to examination as a result of the Company's
claim for refund of 2015 and 2018 tax from carrying back its 2020 net operating loss and 2021 capital loss pursuant to the CARES Act.
As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $6.4 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest of $0.5 million. If the total gross unrecognized tax benefits were recognized,
there would be a $5.8 million effect to the annual effective tax rate. We anticipate a decrease in our unrecognized tax positions of approximately $2.8 million during the next twelve months primarily
due to expected settlements with tax authorities and the expiration of statutes of limitation.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Stock Repurchase Programs
On October 30, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a common stock repurchase program of up to $300.0 million ("2018 Stock Repurchase Program"). The 2018 Stock Repurchase
Program was in effect until September 29, 2021 and had unused authorization of $97.9 million.
On September 29, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a common stock repurchase program of up to $500.0 million ("2021 Stock Repurchase Program"). The 2021 Stock
Repurchase Program includes and is not in addition to any unspent amount remaining under the prior 2018 Stock Purchase Program authorization. Repurchases may be made at management’s
discretion from time to time on the open market (either with or without a 10b5-1 plan) or through privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended
or discontinued at any time. We had $270.2 million of repurchase authority remaining under this program on December 31, 2022.
We repurchased the following shares under the 2018 and 2021 Stock Repurchase Programs:

The Duchossois Group ("TDG") Share Repurchase

On February 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Stock Repurchase Agreement") with an affiliate of TDG to repurchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for
$193.94 per share in a privately negotiated transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $193.9 million. The repurchase of shares of common stock from TDG pursuant to the Stock Repurchase
Agreement was approved by the Company's Board of Directors separately from, and did not reduce the authorized amount remaining under, the existing common stock repurchase program. The
Company repurchased the shares using available cash and borrowings under the Revolver (as defined in Note 12, Debt).
11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
Our total compensation expense, which includes expense related to restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance share unit awards, and stock options associated with our
employee stock purchase plan, was $31.8 million in 2022, $27.8 million in 2021, and $23.7 million in 2020. We recorded a tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense of $1.6 million in
2022, $1.5 million in 2021, and $1.9 million in 2020. Our stock-based employee compensation plans are described below.
2016 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan
We have a stock-based employee compensation plan with awards outstanding under the Churchill Downs Incorporated 2016 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") and Executive Long-
Term Incentive Compensation Plan, which was adopted pursuant to the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan is intended to advance our long-term success by encouraging stock ownership among key employees
and the Board of Directors. Awards may be in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards ("RSA"), restricted stock units ("RSU"), performance share units ("PSU"),
performance units, or performance cash. The 2016 Plan has a minimum vesting period of one year for awards granted.
Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, and Performance Share Units
The 2016 Plan permits the award of RSAs, RSUs, or PSUs to directors and key employees responsible for the management, growth and protection of our business. The fair value of RSAs and RSUs
that vest solely based on continued service under the Plan is determined by the product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of our common stock.
RSAs and RSUs granted to employees under the 2016 Plan generally vest either in full upon three years from the date of grant or on a pro rata basis over a three-year term. RSAs are legally issued
common stock at the time of grant, with certain restrictions placed on them. RSUs granted to employees are converted into shares of our common stock at vesting. The RSUs

66
 Churchill Downs Incorporated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

granted to directors under the 2016 Plan generally vests in full upon one year from the date of grant. RSUs granted to directors are converted into shares of our common stock at the time of the
director's retirement.
In 2020, 2021, and 2022, the Company granted three-year performance and total shareholder return ("TSR") PSU awards (the "PSU Awards") to certain named executive officers ("NEOs"). The two
performance criteria for the PSU Awards are: (1) a cumulative Adjusted EBITDA target that was set at the beginning of the plan performance period for the three-year period; and (2) a cash flow
metric that is the aggregate of the cash flow targets for the three individual years that is set annually at the beginning of each year. The cash flow metric is defined as cash flow from operating
activities and discontinued operations excluding the change in restricted cash, plus distributions of capital from equity investments less capital maintenance expenditures. The Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") can make adjustments as it may deem appropriate to these metrics. Measurement against these criteria will be determined
against a payout curve which provides up to 200% of performance share units based on the original award.
The PSU Awards may be adjusted based on the Company’s TSR performance relative to the TSR performance during the performance period of the companies remaining in the Russell 2000 index
and Russell 1000 index beginning with 2022 grants at the end of the performance period as follows:
1. The PSU Awards will increase by 25% if the Company’s TSR is in the top quartile;
2. The PSU Awards will decrease by 25% if the Company’s TSR is in the bottom quartile; and
3. The PSU Awards will not change if the Company’s TSR is in the middle two quartiles.
The maximum number of PSU Awards, including the impact of the TSR performance, that can be earned for a performance period is 250% of the original award.
On February 12, 2020, the Compensation Committee offered, and the NEOs accepted, to settle the 2017 PSU Awards in cash.
In October 2018, the Company granted a special equity award to two NEOs ("7-Year Grant") consisting of PSU Awards that may be adjusted up to 200% based on the Company's relative TSR
performance versus the Russell 2000 over a three-year period ending October 29, 2021, and service-based RSU awards, both of which vest in 25% annual increments over four years beginning on the
fourth anniversary of the grant date, totaling seven years to be fully vested. The performance period ended on October 29, 2021, and the TSR performance was 200%.
The total compensation cost recognized for PSU Awards is determined using the Monte Carlo valuation methodology, which factors in the value of the TSR when determining the grant date fair value
of the award. Compensation cost for the PSU Awards is recognized during the three-year performance and service period based on the probable achievement of the two performance criteria, with the
exception of the 7-Year Grant, which compensation cost is recognized during the seven-year service period. All PSUs awards are converted into shares of our common stock at the time the award
value is finalized.
A summary of the 2022 RSUs, and PSUs granted to certain NEOs, employees, and the Board of Directors is presented below (shares/units in thousands):

Number of Units

Credit Agreement
On December 27, 2017, we entered into a senior secured credit agreement ("2017 Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders. The 2017 Credit Agreement provided for a $700.0 million senior
secured revolving credit facility due 2024 (the "Revolver") and a $400.0 million senior secured term loan B due 2024 (the "Term Loan B"). Included in the maximum borrowing of $700.0 million
under the Revolver was a letter of credit sub facility not to exceed $50.0 million and a swing line commitment up to a maximum principal amount of $50.0 million.
The Term Loan B bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points and requires quarterly payments of 0.25% of the original $400.0 million balance, or $1.0 million per quarter. The Term Loan B may be
subject to additional mandatory prepayment from excess cash flow on an annual basis per the provisions of the 2017 Credit Agreement. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the
unused portion of the Revolver as determined by a pricing grid based on the consolidated total net secured leverage ratio of the Company. For the period ended December 31, 2022, the Company's
commitment fee rate was 0.175%.
On April 28, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2017 Credit Agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"), which provided for a financial covenant relief period through the
date on which the Company delivered the Company's quarterly financial statements and compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021, subject to certain exceptions (the "Financial
Covenant Relief Period"). On February 1, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to increase the amount of certain otherwise restricted payments permitted from $26.0 million to
$226.0 million during the Financial Covenant Relief Period.
On March 17, 2021, the Company entered into the Incremental Joinder Agreement No. 1 (the "Joinder") to its Credit Agreement which provided $300.0 million in New Term Loan Commitments
("Term Loan B-1") as a new tranche of term loans under the existing Credit Agreement (as conformed to recognize the new loan) and carries a maturity date of March 17, 2028.

69
 Churchill Downs Incorporated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company capitalized $3.5 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Joinder which are being amortized as interest expense over the 7-year term of the Term Loan B-1.
The Term Loan B-1 bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points and requires quarterly payments of 0.25% of the original $300.0 million balance. The Term Loan B-1 may be subject to additional
mandatory prepayment from excess cash flow on an annual basis per the provisions of the Credit Agreement.
On April 13, 2022, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of its existing Revolver to April 13, 2027, to increase the commitments under the existing Revolver from
$700.0 million to $1.2 billion, and to increase the swing line commitment from $50.0 million to $100.0 million. The amendment also provides for a senior secured Delayed Draw Term Loan A due
April 13, 2027 in the amount of $800.0 million, which was drawn on November 1, 2022 as part of the financing for the P2E Transaction. Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions for more information regarding
the P2E Transaction. The Company capitalized $3.2 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Revolver commitment increase and $6.4 million of debt issuance costs associated with the
Delayed Draw Term Loan A which are being amortized as interest expense over the 5-year term.
The Revolver and Delayed Draw Term Loan A bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 10 basis points, plus a variable applicable margin which is determined by the
Company's net leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2022, that applicable margin was 125 basis points which was based on the pricing grid in the Credit Agreement. During 2022, we have borrowed
$664.1 million on our Revolver which provided the Company with financing for the Chasers, Ellis Park, and P2E Transactions. Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions for more regarding the Chasers, Ellis
Park and P2E Transactions. The Company had $524.8 million available borrowing capacity, after consideration of $11.1 million in outstanding letters of credit, under the Revolver as of December 31,
2022.

The phase-out of LIBOR in existing debt agreements is set for June 30, 2023. The Credit Agreement includes a general process for establishing an alternative reference rate to the extent LIBOR is
phased out. The Company is in the process of transitioning its financing from LIBOR to alternative reference rates. These transition activities are not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s financial statements.
The Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all the wholly-owned assets of the Company. The Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, which
include limitations on liens, investments, indebtedness, dispositions, mergers and acquisitions, the making of restricted payments, changes in the nature of business, changes in fiscal year, and
transactions with affiliates. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants providing for the maintenance of a maximum consolidated secured net leverage ratio and maintenance of a
minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio.

Actual as of
December 31, 2022 Requirement
Interest coverage ratio 6.6 to 1.0 > 2.5 to 1.0
Consolidated total secured net leverage ratio 0.9 to 1.0 < 4.0 to 1.0

The Company was compliant with all applicable covenants on December 31, 2022.
2027 Senior Notes
On March 25, 2019, we completed an offering of $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Senior Unsecured Notes that mature on April 1, 2027 (the "2027 Senior Notes") in a private
offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to certain non-U.S. persons in
accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2027 Senior Notes were issued at par, with interest payable on April 1st and October 1st of each year, commencing on October 1, 2019.
The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to repay the then-outstanding balance on the Revolver portion of our Credit Agreement. In connection with the offering, we capitalized
$8.9 million of debt issuance costs which are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the 2027 Senior Notes.
The 2027 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated March 25, 2019 (the "2027 Indenture"), among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors (the "2027
Guarantors"), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Company may redeem some or all of the 2027 Senior Notes at any time at redemption prices set forth in the 2027 Indenture. The
terms of the 2027 Indenture, among other things, limit the ability of the Company to: (i) incur additional debt and issue preferred stock, (ii) pay dividends or make other restricted payments, (iii) make
certain investments, (iv) create liens, (v) allow restrictions on the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments, (vi) sell assets, (vii) merge or consolidate with other
entities, and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates.

2028 Senior Notes
On December 27, 2017, we completed an offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Senior Unsecured Notes that mature on January 15, 2028 (the "Existing 2028 Notes") in a
private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S
under the Securities Act. The Existing 2028 Notes were issued at par, with interest payable on January 15th and July 15th of each year, commencing on July 15, 2018. The Company used the net
proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of our $600.0 million 5.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2021. In connection with the offering, we capitalized $7.7 million of debt issuance costs
which are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Existing 2028 Notes.
On March 17, 2021, the Company completed an offering of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Senior Unsecured Notes that mature on January 15, 2028 (the "Additional 2028
Notes") in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with
Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Additional 2028 Notes were offered under the indenture dated as of December 27, 2017, governing the $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of
4.75% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028 and form a part of the same series for purposes of the indenture. In connection with the offering, we capitalized $3.4 million of debt issuance costs which are
being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Additional 2028 Notes. Upon completion of this offering, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Existing 2028 Notes, together
with the Additional 2028 Notes (collectively, the "2028 Senior Notes"), is $700.0 million.
The Additional 2028 Notes were issued at 103.25% of the principal amount, plus interest deemed to have accrued from January 15, 2021, with interest payable on January 15th and July 15th of each
year, commencing on July 15, 2021. The 2028 Senior Notes will vote as one class under the indenture governing the 2028 Senior Notes. The 3.25% premium is being amortized through interest
expense, net over the term of the Additional 2028 Notes.
The Company used the net proceeds from the Additional 2028 Notes and the Term Loan B-1: (i) to repay indebtedness outstanding under our Revolver, (ii) to fund related transaction fees and
expenses, and (iii) for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The 2028 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated December 27, 2017 (the "2028 Indenture"), among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors (the "2028
Guarantors"), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Company may redeem some or all the 2028 Senior Notes at redemption prices set forth in the 2028 Indenture. The terms of the
2028 Indenture, among other things, limit the ability of the Company to: (i) incur additional debt and issue preferred stock, (ii) pay dividends or make other restricted payments, (iii) make certain
investments, (iv) create liens, (v) allow restrictions on the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments, (vi) sell assets, (vii) merge or consolidate with other entities,

On April 13, 2022, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company completed an offering of $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes that mature on April 13, 2030
(the "2030 Senior Notes") in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A that was exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons in
accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The offering of the 2030 Senior Notes was part of the financing utilized for the P2E Transaction. In connection with the offering, we
capitalized $18.3 million of debt issuance costs which are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the 2030 Senior Notes. The Company held the net proceeds of this transaction of
$1.2 billion in escrow until the proceeds were utilized to complete the P2E Transaction on November 1, 2022, at which time CDI assumed the obligation and became the Issuer.
The 2030 Senior Notes were issued at 100% of the principal amount, plus interest deemed to have accrued from April 13, 2022, with interest payable in arrears on April 1st and October 1st of each

13. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Performance Obligations
As of December 31, 2022, our Live and Historical Racing segment had remaining performance obligations on contracts with a duration greater than one year relating to television rights, sponsorships,
personal seat licenses, and admissions, with an aggregate transaction price of $154.4 million. The revenue we expect to recognize on these remaining performance obligations is $46.0 million in
2023, $39.6 million in 2024, $30.5 million in 2025, and the remainder thereafter.
As of December 31, 2022, our remaining performance obligations on contracts with a duration greater than one year in segments other than Live and Historical Racing were not material.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets were not material as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Contract liabilities were $58.7 million as of December 31, 2022 and $64.9 million as of December 31, 2021. Contract liabilities are included in current deferred revenue, non-current deferred revenue,
and accrued expense and other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities primarily relate to our Live and Historical Racing segment. The decrease in
contract liabilities from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022 was due to the recognition of revenue for fulfilled performance obligations. We recognized $49.9 million of revenue during the year
ended December 31, 2022 that was included in the contract liabilities balance on December 31, 2021. We recognized $33.0 million of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021 that was
included in the contract liabilities balance on December 31, 2020.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company has included its disaggregated revenue disclosures as follows:
• For the Live and Historical Racing segment, revenue is disaggregated between Churchill Downs Racetrack and historical racing properties given that our racing facilities revenues primarily
revolve around live racing events while our historical racing properties revenues primarily revolve around historical racing. This segment is also disaggregated by location given the
geographic economic factors that affect the revenue of service offerings. Within the Live and Historical racing segment, revenue is further disaggregated between live and simulcast racing,
historical racing, racing event-related services, and other services.
• For the TwinSpires segment, revenue is disaggregated between live and simulcast racing, gaming, and other services.
• For the Gaming segment, revenue is disaggregated by location given the geographic economic factors that affect the revenue of Gaming service offerings. Within the Gaming segment,
revenue is further disaggregated between live and simulcast racing, racing event-related services, gaming, and other services.
We believe that these disclosures depict how the amount, nature, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows are affected by economic factors. The tables below present net revenue from external customers
and intercompany revenue from each of our segments:

Investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 primarily consisted of a 61.3% interest in Midwest Gaming Holdings, LLC ("Midwest Gaming"), the
parent company of Rivers Casino Des Plaines ("Rivers Des Plaines"), a 50% interest in Miami Valley Gaming ("MVG"), and other immaterial joint ventures.
Rivers Des Plaines
On March 5, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of certain ownership interests of Midwest Gaming, the parent company of Rivers Des Plaines to acquire approximately 42% of Midwest
Gaming from affiliates and co-investors of Clairvest Group Inc. ("Clairvest") and members of High Plaines Gaming, LLC ("High Plaines"), an affiliate of Rush Street Gaming, LLC and Casino
Investors, LLC ("Casino Investors") for cash consideration of approximately $406.6 million and $3.5 million of certain transaction costs and working capital adjustments (the "Sale Transaction").
Following the closing of the Sale Transaction, the parties completed a recapitalization transaction on March 6, 2019 (the "Recapitalization"), pursuant to which Midwest Gaming used approximately
$300.0 million in proceeds from amended and extended credit facilities to redeem, on a pro rata basis, additional Midwest Gaming units held by High Plaines and Casino Investors. As a result of the
Recapitalization, the Company's ownership of Midwest Gaming increased to 61.3%. High Plaines retained ownership of 36.0% of Midwest Gaming and Casino Investors retained ownership of 2.7%
of Midwest Gaming.
We also recognized a $103.2 million deferred tax liability and a corresponding increase in our investment in unconsolidated affiliates related to an entity we acquired in conjunction with our
acquisition of the Clairvest ownership stake in Midwest Gaming.
A new limited liability company agreement was entered into by the members of Midwest Gaming as a result of the change in ownership structure. Under the new limited liability company agreement,
both the Company and High Plaines have participating rights over Midwest Gaming, and both must consent to Midwest Gaming's operating, investing and financing decisions. As a result, we account
for Midwest Gaming using the equity method.

75
 Churchill Downs Incorporated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s investment in Midwest Gaming is presented at our initial cost of investment plus the Company's accumulated proportional share of income or loss, including depreciation/accretion of
the difference in the historical basis of the Company’s contribution, less any distributions it has received. Following the Sale Transaction and Recapitalization, the carrying value of the Company’s
investment in Midwest Gaming was $835.0 million higher than the Company’s underlying equity in the net assets of Midwest Gaming. This equity method basis difference was comprised of
$853.7 million related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, $(13.7) million related to non-depreciable land, $(9.5) million related to buildings that will be accreted into income over a
weighted average useful life of 35.3 years, and $4.5 million related to personal property that will be depreciated over a weighted average useful life of 3.7 years. As of December 31, 2022, the net
aggregate basis difference between the Company’s investment in Midwest Gaming and the amounts of the underlying equity in net assets was $835.0 million.
Our investment in Rivers Des Plaines was $544.9 million as of December 31, 2022 and $554.8 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company received distributions from Rivers Des Plaines of
$123.8 million in 2022, $67.2 million in 2021 and $10.7 million in 2020.
Miami Valley Gaming
Delaware North Companies Gaming & Entertainment Inc. ("DNC") owns the remaining 50% interest in MVG. Since both we and DNC have participating rights over MVG, and both must consent to
MVG's operating, investing and financing decisions, we account for MVG using the equity method.
Our investment in MVG was $114.4 million as of December 31, 2022 and $108.7 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company received distributions from MVG of $33.0 million in 2022,
$42.0 million in 2021 and $20.0 million in 2020.
Summarized Financial Results for our Unconsolidated Affiliates
The financial results for our unconsolidated affiliates are summarized below. The summarized income statement information for 2022 and 2021 and summarized balance sheet information as of

16. LEASES
Our operating leases with terms greater than one year are primarily related to buildings and land. Our operating leases with terms less than one year are primarily related to equipment. Most of our
building and land leases have terms of 2 to 10 years and include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 1 to 5 years or more. Certain of our lease
agreements include lease payments based on a percentage of net gaming revenue and others include rental payment adjustments periodically for inflation. The estimated discount rate for each of our
leases is determined based on adjustments made to our secured debt borrowing rate.

17. BOARD OF DIRECTOR AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Board of Directors and Officers Retirement Plan
Under the 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Plan"), members of our Board of Directors may elect to invest the deferred director fee compensation into our common stock within the
Deferred Plan. Investments in our common stock are credited as hypothetical shares of common stock based on the market price of the stock at the time the compensation was earned. Upon the end of
the director's service, common stock shares are issued to the director.
Prior to December 13, 2019, we provided eligible executives the opportunity to defer the receipt of base and bonus compensation to a future date and included a Company matching contribution on
base compensation with certain limits through the Deferred Plan. On December 13, 2019, the Compensation Committee elected to freeze the Deferred Plan for eligible executives after the 2019 plan
year.
On December 13, 2019, the Compensation Committee adopted the Churchill Downs Incorporated Restricted Stock Unit Deferral Plan, effective January 1, 2020 (the "RSU Deferral Plan"). Under the
RSU Deferral Plan, certain individual employees who are management or highly compensated employees of the Company may elect to defer settlement of RSUs granted pursuant to the 2016 Plan.
Other Retirement Plans
We have a profit-sharing plan for all employees with three months or more of service who are not otherwise participating in an associated profit-sharing plan. We match contributions made by
employees up to 3% of the employee’s annual compensation and match at 50% any contributions made by the employee up to an additional 2% of compensation with certain limits. We may also
contribute a discretionary amount determined annually by the Board of Directors as well as a year-end discretionary match not to exceed 4% of compensation. Our cash contribution to the plan was
$4.3 million in 2022, $4.1 million in 2021, and $3.7 million in 2020.
18. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement.
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate:

78
 Churchill Downs Incorporated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Restricted Cash
Our restricted cash accounts that are held in interest-bearing accounts qualify for Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, which includes unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical
assets.
Debt
The fair value of the Company's Senior Secured Term Loan B, Term Loan B-1, Term Loan A and Revolver under the Credit Agreement approximate the gross carrying value of the variable rate debt
and as such are Level 2 measurements. The fair value of the Company’s 2030 Senior Notes, 2028 Senior Notes and 2027 Senior Notes are estimated based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical or
similar liabilities in markets that are not active and as such are Level 2 measurements.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values by input level of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

19. CONTINGENCIES
We are involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of conducting business. We carry insurance for workers' compensation claims from our employees and general liability for claims from
independent contractors, customers and guests. We are self-insured up to an aggregate stop loss for our general liability and workers' compensation coverages.
We review all litigation on an ongoing basis when making accrual and disclosure decisions. For certain legal proceedings, we cannot reasonably estimate losses or a range of loss, if any, particularly
for proceedings that are in the early stages of development or where the plaintiffs seek indeterminate damages. Various factors, including but not limited to, the outcome of potentially lengthy
discovery and the resolution of important factual questions, may need to be determined before probability can be established or before a loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. In
accordance with current accounting standards for loss contingencies and based upon information currently known to us, we establish reserves for litigation when it is probable that a loss associated
with a claim or proceeding has been incurred and the amount of the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. When no amount within the range of loss is a better estimate than any other
amount, we accrue the minimum amount of the estimable loss. To the extent that such litigation against us may have an exposure to a loss in excess of

79
 Churchill Downs Incorporated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

the amount we have accrued, we believe that such excess would not be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.
If the loss contingency in question is not both probable and reasonably estimable, we do not establish an accrual and the matter will continue to be monitored for any developments that would make
the loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. In the event that a legal proceeding results in a substantial judgment against, or settlement by us, there can be no assurance that any
resulting liability or financial commitment would not have a material adverse impact on our business.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Eliminations include the elimination of intersegment transactions. We utilize non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted
EBITDA. Our chief operating decision maker utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA includes the following
adjustments:
Adjusted EBITDA includes our portion of EBITDA from our equity investments.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes:
• Transaction expense, net which includes:
– Acquisition, disposition, and land sale related charges;
– Direct online Sports and Casino business exit costs; and
– Other transaction expense, including legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense;
• Stock-based compensation expense;
• Rivers Des Plaines' impact on our investments in unconsolidated affiliates from:
– The impact of changes in fair value of interest rate swaps; and
– Legal reserves and transaction costs;
• Asset impairments;
• Gain on Calder Land sale;
• Legal reserves;
• Pre-opening expense; and
• Other charges, recoveries, and expenses
As of December 31, 2021, Arlington ceased racing and simulcast operations. On February 15, 2023, the Company closed on the sale of the property to the Chicago Bears. Refer to Note 4,
Dispositions and Assets Held for Sale for additional information. Arlington's operating loss in the current quarter and year is treated as an adjustment to EBITDA and is included in Other expenses,
net in the Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income to Adjusted EBITDA.
We utilize the Adjusted EBITDA metric to provide a more accurate measure of our core operating results and enable management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period our
operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of performance, as an alternative to
cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure provided in accordance with GAAP. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different
from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. For segment reporting, Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany revenue and expense totals that are
eliminated in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The tables below present net revenue from external customers and intercompany revenue from each of our segments, Adjusted EBITDA by segment and reconciles comprehensive income to
Adjusted EBITDA:

22. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Directors and employees may from time to time own or have interests in horses racing at our racetracks. All such races are conducted under the regulations of each state’s respective regulatory
agency, as applicable, and no director or employee receives any extra or special benefit with regard to having his or her horses selected to run in races or in connection with the actual running of
races. There is no material financial statement impact attributable to directors or employees who may have interests in horses racing at our racetracks.
In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into transactions with certain of our officers and directors for the sale of personal seat licenses, suite accommodations, and tickets for our live racing
events. We believe that each such transaction has been on terms no less favorable for us than could have been obtained in a transaction with a third party, and no officer or director received any extra
or special benefit in connection with such transactions.
Stock Repurchase Agreement
On February 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Stock Repurchase Agreement") with an affiliate of TDG to repurchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for
$193.94 per share in a privately negotiated transaction. The aggregate purchase price was $193.9 million. The Stock Repurchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and
covenants of the parties.
The repurchase of shares of common stock from TDG pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Agreement was approved by the Company's Board of Directors separately from, and did not reduce the
authorized amount remaining under, the existing common stock repurchase program from October 2018. The Company repurchased the shares using available cash and borrowings under the
Revolver.
Amendment to Credit Agreement
Also, on February 1, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement to increase the amount of certain otherwise restricted payments permitted during the Financial Covenant
Relief Period from $26.0 million to $226.0 million to accommodate the repurchase of shares of common stock from TDG described above.

 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Churchill Downs Incorporated

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Churchill Downs Incorporated and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related
consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), of shareholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the related notes and
schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial
statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control -
Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud,
and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial
statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and
testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in
the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded the properties acquired as part of the Peninsula Pacific Entertainment LLC (“P2E)
acquisition and Ellis Park Racing & Gaming (“Ellis Park) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, because they were acquired by the Company in
purchase business combinations during 2022. We have also excluded the properties acquired as part of the P2E acquisition and Ellis Park from our audit of internal control over financial reporting.
The properties acquired as part of the P2E acquisition and Ellis Park are wholly-owned subsidiaries whose total assets and total revenues excluded from management’s assessment and our audit of
internal control over financial reporting represent approximately 11.3% and less than 1% of total assets, respectively and approximately 6.1% and less than 1% of total revenues, respectively, of the
related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures

87
that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject
to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the
audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.
The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Acquisition of Peninsula Pacific Entertainment LLC – Valuation of Indefinite-Lived Gaming Rights Intangible Assets
As described in Notes 1 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on November 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Peninsula Pacific
Entertainment LLC (“P2E”) for a preliminary purchase consideration of $2.835.9 million, net of cash acquired, which resulted in $1,865.6 million of indefinite-lived gaming rights intangible assets
being recorded. The fair value of the gaming rights was determined using the Greenfield method, which is an income approach methodology. In estimating the fair value of the indefinite-lived gaming
rights intangible assets, management makes significant estimates and assumptions about future revenue and operating expenses, start-up costs, and the discount rates.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the indefinite-lived gaming rights intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of P2E is a critical audit matter
are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the indefinite-lived gaming rights, (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in
applying procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to estimated future revenue and operating expenses, start-up costs, and discount rates; and (iii) the audit effort
involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures
included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the acquisition accounting, including controls over management’s valuation of the gaming rights intangible assets. These procedures also
included, among others, (i) reading the purchase agreement, (ii) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the indefinite-lived gaming rights intangible assets, (iii)
evaluating the appropriateness of the income approach methodology, (iv) testing the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the methodology, and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of
significant assumptions related to the future revenue and operating expenses, start-up costs, and discount rates. Evaluating the reasonableness of the future revenue and operating expenses and start-
up costs involved considering the past performance of P2E, economic and industry forecasts, and whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.
Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the appropriateness of the Company's income approach methodology and the reasonableness of the discount
rates assumption.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13a-15(e), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022. Based upon the foregoing, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and
procedures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of Churchill Downs Incorporated, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of Churchill Downs Incorporated's internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework in the Integrated Control-Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have excluded the properties acquired as part of the Peninsula Pacific Entertainment LLC ("P2E") acquisition and Ellis Park Racing & Gaming ("Ellis Park") from our assessment of internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, because these properties were acquired by us in business acquisitions during 2022. The total assets excluded were 11.3% and less than 1% of
total assets, respectively and approximately 6.1% and less than 1% of total revenues, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31,
2022.

Based upon our evaluation under the framework in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) management has concluded that Churchill Downs Incorporated's internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022.

1 FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED 2005 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN (As Amended as of December 1, 2008) WHEREAS, Churchill Downs Incorporated (the “Company”) maintains the 2005 Churchill Downs Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended as of December 1, 2008 (the “Plan”) for the benefit of its eligible employees; and WHEREAS, effective January 1, 2022, the Company deems it necessary and desirable to amend the Plan to provide for Class Year Accounts for which non-employee Directors will be permitted to make separate distribution elections; and WHEREAS, this Fourth Amendment shall supersede the provisions of the Plan to the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of the amendment; NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue and in exercise of the powers reserved to the Company under Section 9.1 Amendment or Termination of the Plan, the Plan is hereby amended in the following respects, effective January 1, 2022: 1. Section 2.1 is hereby amended to revise the introductory phrase appearing before subsection (1) thereto, to read as follows: “Account” means the Participant’s In-Service Account, Distribution Account, Transferred Account and Class Year Accounts which are bookkeeping accounts established on the Company’s records showing the amount of the Participant’s accrued: 2. A new Section 2.5A is hereby added to the Plan to read as follows: “Class Year Account” means an account established for a Participant for each calendar year, commencing with the 2022 calendar year (for example, for the 2022 calendar year, the account shall be known as the 2022 Class Year Account, for the 2023 calendar year, the account shall be known as the 2023 Class Year Account, and so on) to which all Participant deferrals attributable to such calendar year shall be credited. 3. Section 3.4 is hereby amended to add two new sentences immediately following
the second sentence of such section, which new sentences shall read as follows: Notwithstanding any provisions of this Plan to the contrary, effective with respect to deferral elections that apply to deferrals for calendar year 2022, and for each calendar year thereafter, each Director who is a Participant in the Plan must make a new deferral election and a new distribution election for each such calendar year, with such deferrals to be placed in the Participant’s applicable Class Year Account for such calendar year. A distribution election form for a particular calendar year/Class Year Account must be filed and become irrevocable within the same time period that the associated deferral election for such calendar year/Class Year Account must be filed and become irrevocable.
2 4. Section 4.11 is hereby amended to delete the sentence contained therein which currently reads “A sub-account, referred to as a “Stock Account” shall be established in the name of each Director who makes a Stock Election, and such sub-account shall be included in the Participant’s Distribution Account and shall be administered in accordance with procedures established by the Committee” and replace it with a new sentence which shall read as follows: A sub-account, referred to as a “Stock Account” shall be established in the name of each Director who makes a Stock Election, and such sub-account shall be included in the Participant’s Distribution Account or applicable Class Year Account, and shall be administered in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. 5. Section 5.1 is hereby amended to revise the first paragraph thereto to read as follows: Plan Distribution Elections. Each Participant shall complete a distribution election with respect to his or her Distribution Account, Transferred Account, In-Service Distribution Account and each Class Year Account. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, amounts credited to a Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant in accordance with the Participant’s distribution election; provided, however, that if on the elected distribution date, any notional investment gains or losses cannot then be determined, such distribution shall be delayed until such accounting can be completed but in no event shall such payment be made later than sixty (60) days following such Participant’s distribution election date. Distribution elections [a] shall be in writing on forms approved by the Committee, [b] in the case of the In-Service Distribution Account, shall specify a distribution date in accordance with Section 5.2, [c] shall specify the form of distribution in accordance with Section 5.3, [d] except with respect to Class Year Accounts, shall be filed with the Company upon first becoming eligible
to participate in the Plan, and [e] with respect to Class Year Accounts, shall be filed in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 3.4 and shall specify the time and form of distribution in accordance with Sections 5.2 and 5.3, and the distribution election form applicable to a particular Class Year Account, which form is hereby incorporated by reference. A Participant’s In-Service Account distribution election, in addition to specifying an in-service distribution date, shall also specify the form of distribution if the Participant has a Separation From Service before the date designated for the in-service distribution. 6. Section 5.2 is hereby amended to add a new subsection (c) to read as follows: (c) Class Year Accounts. A Participant’s particular Class Year Account shall be distributed to the Participant in the manner elected by the Participant in accordance with Section 5.3 and the Participant’s distribution election form that is applicable to the particular Class Year Account, which distribution election form is hereby incorporated reference. Such distribution shall be made as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days, after the date the Participant’s Class Year Account is to be paid pursuant to the Participant’s distribution election form that is applicable
3 to such Class Year Account. For purposes of this Section 5.2(c), if payment is to be made due to Separation from Service, the Separation from Service of a Participant with one Employer will not interrupt the continuity of participation of such Participant if, concurrently with or immediately after such separation, the Participant has not incurred a Separation From Service and otherwise in accordance with Section 7. Where a Participant provides services as a Director and as an Employee, services provided as a Director are not taken into account for purposes of determining whether the Participant has a Separation From Service as an Employee, and service provided as a Director are not taken into account for purposes of determining whether the Participant has a Separation From Service as a Director. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, if any Participant who is a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A) on his or her date of Separation From Service, any distribution from such Participant’s applicable Class Year Account may not be made earlier than the date which is 6 months after the date of the Participant’s Separation From Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant) from the Employer, and any amounts required to be so delayed shall be paid in the form of a lump sum on the earlier of (A) the first business day following the expiration of such six-month period or (B) as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days, following the Participant’s death. For purposes of Section 409A, to the extent that any payment payable under the Plan is to be paid in installments, each such payment shall be treated as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no shares of Common Stock shall be distributed from the Participant’s Stock Account earlier
than a date which is 6 months after the date of acquisition of the derivative security (as described in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) related to such shares. 7. Section 5.3 is hereby amended to revise the penultimate sentence thereto to read as follows: Notwithstanding the preceding to the contrary, effective with respect to distribution elections made on and after January 1, 2020, including distribution elections made pursuant to Section 5.1 and 5.2 with respect to Class Year Accounts, a Participant who is a non-employee Director shall be permitted to elect only that benefits be paid in the form of either (a) a single lump sum payment or (b) equal annual installments over five (5) or ten (10) years.

If the Senior Vice President Human Resources determines that an extension is necessary, notice of the extension will be furnished to you prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period. In no event will such extension exceed a period of 90 days from the end of the initial 90-day period. The extension notice will indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and when you can expect the benefit determination. The Senior Vice President Human Resources’ notice of denial of your claim will contain the following information: (a) The specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination; (b) references to specific Plan provisions on which the determination is based; ( c) a
description of any additional material or information necessary for you to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and (d) appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if you want to submit your claim for review, including a statement of your right to bring a civil action under ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review. If a claim is denied, you may appeal the adverse determination by filing a written request for a review of the claim with the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The request for review must be made within 60 days of the date you receive the denial (or, if no written denial is received, within 60 days of the date when the denial was due). Send your written request for review to the Committee. You may submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to your claim for benefits. You will be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to your claim for benefits. The review will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by you relating to your claim,
7 507081.04-Los Angeles Server 2A - MSW without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. The Committee will provide you with a written notice of its decision on review within 60 days after the Committee's receipt of your written claim for review; unless the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing your claim. If the Committee determines that an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to you prior to the end of the initial 60-day period. The extension notice will indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of the time and the date by which the Committee expects to render its determination on review. The extension will not exceed a period of 60 days from the end of the initial 60-day period. In the case of an adverse benefit determination on review, the notice will set forth: (a) The specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination; (b) references to the specific Plan provisions on which the determination is based; and (c) a statement that you are entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to your claim for benefits.

You must exhaust all levels of the appeal procedure before you can bring an action at law or equity. The power and authority of the Chief Executive Officer and the Committee shall be discretionary with respect to all matters arising before each of them under this claims procedure. 17. Your Rights Under ERISA. As a Participant in the Plan, you are
entitled to certain rights and protections under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). ERISA provides that all plan participants are entitled to: examine, without charge, at the office of the Senior Vice President Human Resources and at other specified locations (such as worksites), all documents governing the Plan, including insurance contracts, if any; and obtain copies of documents governing the operation of the Plan, including insurance contracts, if any, and updated summary plan description upon written request to the Senior Vice President Human Resources. The Senior Vice President Human Resources may make a reasonable charge for the copies; and In addition to creating rights for plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the Plan. The people who operate the Plan, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a benefit .of exercising your rights under ERISA. If your claim for a pension or welfare benefit is denied in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision
8 507081.04-Los Angeles Server 2A - MSW without charge and to appeal the denial, all under certain time schedules. Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce these rights. For instance, if you request materials from the plan and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the plan administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive them, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the plan administrator. If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or federal court. In addition, if you disagree with the Plan's decision, or lack thereof, concerning the qualified status of a domestic relations order, you may file suit in federal court. If it should happen that plan fiduciaries misuse the plan's money, or if you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. However, if you lose, the court may order you to pay the costs and fees; for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous. If you have any questions about the Plan, you should call or write the plan administrator. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan Administrator, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain publications about your rights
and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration. 18. Plan Information. This is a welfare benefit plan and this document serves as the Plan's official plan document and as the summary plan description. The Company is the plan administrator for ERISA reporting and disclosure purposes. The Company's address is 600 N. Hurstbourne Parkway, Suite 400, Louisville, Kentucky 40222, and service of process may be made on the Company at this address.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Basis of Presentation
Churchill Downs Incorporated (the "Company", "we", "our") financial statements are presented in conformity with the requirements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and consequently do not
include all of the disclosures normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") or those normally made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The December 31, 2022
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
The following information is unaudited. All per share amounts assume dilution unless otherwise noted. This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2022.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of this information have been made, and all such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
We conduct our business through three reportable segments: Live and Historical Racing, TwinSpires, and Gaming. We aggregate our other businesses as well as certain corporate operations, and other
immaterial joint ventures, in All Other. We report net revenue and operating expense associated with these reportable segments in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Comprehensive Income.
Arlington sale
On February 15, 2023, we closed on the sale of the Arlington International Racecourse property ("Arlington") located in Arlington Heights, Illinois. We sold 326-acres to the Chicago Bears for
$197.2 million. For more information, refer to Note 4, Dispositions.
Acquisition of Peninsula Pacific Entertainment
On November 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Peninsula Pacific Entertainment LLC ("P2E") with a base purchase price of $2.75 billion ("P2E
Transaction") subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments. The P2E assets acquired included Colonial Downs Racetrack ("Colonial Downs") and six Historical Racing Machine
("HRM") entertainment venues in Virginia, del Lago Resort & Casino in New York ("del Lago"), and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Iowa ("Hard Rock Sioux City"), as well as the development rights
for the Dumfries and Emporia HRM facilities in Virginia, up to five additional HRM entertainment venues in Virginia, and the potential for ONE Casino and Resort in Virginia in collaboration with
Urban One.
Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions for further information on the transaction.
Acquisitions of Chasers Poker Room and Ellis Park
On September 2, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Chasers Poker Room ("Chasers") in Salem, New Hampshire (the "Chasers Transaction"). As part of the transaction, we made an
initial payment to the sellers for rights to operate the poker room and to build an HRM venue. Additional payments will be made once all necessary permits are obtained, and the planned historical
racing entertainment venue is opened. The Company plans to develop an expanded charitable gaming facility in Salem to accommodate HRMs and table games.
On September 26, 2022, we completed the acquisition of Ellis Park Racing and Gaming ("Ellis Park") in Henderson, Kentucky, from Enchantment Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Laguna Development
Corporation, for total consideration of $79.0 million in cash, subject to certain working capital and other purchase price adjustments (the "Ellis Park Transaction").
Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions for further information on the transaction.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of variant strains, will continue to impact the Company remains uncertain and will depend on many factors that are not within
our control. We will continue to monitor for new developments related to the pandemic and assess these developments to maintain continuity in our operations.
Exit of the Direct Online Sports and Casino Business

The Company has exited the direct online Sports and Casino business in every state except for Arizona. The Company plans to maintain its retail Sports operations and has monetized two of its online
market access licenses.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - effective in 2023 or thereafter
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients
and exceptions to applying the guidance on contract modifications, hedge accounting, and other transactions, and to simplify the accounting for transitioning from the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance. In December 2022, the FASB deferred the date for which this guidance can be
applied from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The use of LIBOR was phased out at the end of 2021, although the phase-out of U.S. dollar LIBOR for existing agreements has been delayed
until June 2023. The Company will complete the transition of its financing from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") by June 30, 2023. These transition activities will not have
a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3. ACQUISITIONS
Chasers Poker Room
On September 2, 2022, the Company completed the Chasers Transaction which was treated as an asset acquisition because substantially all the value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in
the gaming rights. The Company made an initial payment at closing and recorded a liability for the remaining payments due on a future date. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company
recorded an $82.2 million gaming rights intangible asset which represented its fair value at the date of acquisition.
The fair value of the gaming rights acquired in the Chasers Transaction was determined using the Greenfield Method, which is an income approach methodology that calculates the present value of
the gaming rights intangible asset based on a projected cash flow stream. This method assumes that the gaming rights intangible asset provides the opportunity to develop a gaming or historical racing
facility in a specified region, and that the present value of the projected cash flows is a result of the realization of advantages contained in these rights. Under this methodology, the acquirer is
expected to absorb all start-up costs, as well as incur all expenses pertaining to the acquisition and/or the creation of all tangible and intangible assets. The estimated future revenue, future operating
expenses, start-up costs, and discount rate were the primary inputs in the valuation. The gaming rights intangible asset was assigned an indefinite useful life based on the Company's expected use of
the asset and determination that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors limit the useful life of the gaming rights.
Ellis Park
On September 26, 2022, the Company completed the Ellis Park Transaction for total consideration of $79.0 million in cash, plus $3.5 million in working capital and other preliminary purchase price
adjustments. The fair values of the Ellis Park Transaction were based upon preliminary valuations. Estimates and assumptions used in such valuations are subject to change, which could be
significant, within the measurement period up to one year from the acquisition date. The areas of the preliminary valuations that are not yet finalized relate to the amounts for income taxes, working
capital adjustments and the final amount of residual goodwill. The Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist in determining fair values of net assets acquired at the acquisition date
during the measurement period. The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net of cash acquired of $1.4 million, at the date of acquisition were as follows: property and
equipment of $19.3 million, indefinite-lived gaming rights of $47.4 million, indefinite-lived trademark of $3.6 million, goodwill of $9.5 million, and net working capital of $1.3 million.
The Company has not included other disclosures regarding the Chasers or Ellis Park Transactions as these transactions are immaterial to our business.
P2E Transaction
On November 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets of P2E for preliminary purchase consideration of $2,835.9 million, net of cash acquired. The P2E assets
acquired included Colonial Downs and six HRM entertainment venues in Virginia, del Lago in New York, and Hard Rock Sioux City in Iowa, as well as the development rights for Dumfries and
Emporia HRM facilities in Virginia, up to five additional HRM entertainment venues in Virginia, and the potential for ONE Casino & Resort in Virginia in collaboration with Urban One.
The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net of cash acquired of $126.4 million, as of November 1, 2022:

The fair value of the intangible assets consists of the following:

(in millions) Fair Value Recognized
Gaming rights $ 1,865.6
Trademark 75.9
Total intangible assets $ 1,941.5

Current assets and current liabilities were valued at the existing carrying values, as these items are short term in nature and represent management's estimated fair value of the respective items at
November 1, 2022.
The property and equipment acquired primarily relates to land, buildings, equipment, and furniture and fixtures. The fair value of the land was determined using the market approach and the fair
values of the remaining property and equipment were primarily determined using the cost replacement method which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the assets.
The fair value of the gaming rights was determined using the Greenfield Method, which is an income approach methodology that calculates the present value of the overall business enterprise based
on a projected cash flow stream. This method assumes that the gaming rights intangible assets provide the opportunity to develop a casino or historical racing facility in a specified region, and that the
present value of the projected cash flows are a result of the realization of advantages contained in these rights. Under this methodology, the acquirer is expected to absorb all start-up costs, as well as
incur all expenses pertaining to the acquisition and/or the creation of all tangible and intangible assets. The estimated future revenue and operating expenses, start-up costs, and discount rates were the
primary assumptions and estimates in the valuation of the gaming rights. The gaming rights intangible assets were assigned an indefinite useful life based on the Company's expected use of the assets
and determination that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors limit the useful life of the gaming rights.
The trademark intangible assets were valued using the relief-from-royalty method of the income approach, which estimates the fair value of the intangible assets by discounting the fair value of the
hypothetical royalty payments a market participant would be willing to pay to enjoy the benefits of the assets. The estimated future revenue, royalty rates, and discount rates were the primary
assumptions and estimates in the valuation of the trademarks. The trademarks were assigned an indefinite useful life based on the Company’s intention to keep the trademarks for an indefinite period
of time.
Goodwill of $347.8 million was recognized due to the expected contribution of P2E to the Company's overall business strategy. The goodwill was assigned to the Gaming segment in the amount of
$129.1 million and to the Live and Historical Racing segment in the amount of $218.7 million and is mostly deductible for tax purposes.

Estimates and assumptions used in such valuations are subject to change, which could be significant, within the measurement period up to one year from the acquisition date. The preliminary
purchase consideration is subject to adjustment upon finalization of customary post-closing adjustments related to working capital. The primary areas of the preliminary valuation that are not yet
finalized relate to the fair values of amounts for income taxes, property and equipment, intangible assets, adjustments to working capital, and the final amount of residual goodwill. The Company
expects to continue to obtain information to assist in determining fair values of net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for the Company has been prepared assuming the P2E Transaction had occurred as of January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma

2023 Disposition
On February 15, 2023, we closed on the sale of the Arlington property in Arlington Heights, Illinois, to the Chicago Bears for $197.2 million. We received net proceeds of $195.7 million for the 326-
acres and recognized a gain of $114.0 million on the sale, which is included in other income in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The Company has
classified certain assets of Arlington totaling $82.0 million as held for sale as of December 31, 2022 on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Arlington’s operations and assets
are included in All Other in our consolidated results.
The Company executed a forward like-kind exchange transaction by purchasing certain property as part of the P2E Transaction for $197.2 million, which qualified as an Internal Revenue Code §1031
transaction. An exchange accommodation titleholder ("EAT"), a type of variable interest entity, was used to facilitate this reverse like-kind exchange. The Company determined that it is the primary
beneficiary of the EAT, thus the property held by the EAT has been consolidated and recorded in Property and equipment, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a $27.8 million deferred tax liability related to the Arlington sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

6. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily resulting from state income taxes and non-
deductible officer’s compensation.
The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily resulting from state income taxes and non-
deductible officer’s compensation. This expense was partially offset by tax benefits resulting from year-to-date tax deductions from vesting of restricted stock compensation in excess of book
deductions.

7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock Repurchase Programs
On October 30, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a common stock repurchase program of up to $300.0 million ("2018 Stock Repurchase Program"). The 2018 Stock Repurchase
Program was in effect until September 29, 2021 and had unused authorization of $97.9 million.
On September 29, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a common stock repurchase program of up to $500.0 million ("2021 Stock Repurchase Program"). The 2021 Stock
Repurchase Program includes and is not in addition to any unspent amount remaining under the prior 2018 Stock Repurchase Program authorization. Repurchases may be made at management’s
discretion from time to time on the open market (either with or without a 10b5-1 plan) or through privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended or
discontinued at any time. We had approximately $270.2 million of repurchase authority remaining under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program at March 31, 2023, based on trade date.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

We have stock-based employee compensation plans with awards outstanding under the Churchill Downs Incorporated 2016 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") and the Executive Long-
Term Incentive Compensation Plan, which was adopted pursuant to the 2016 Plan. Our total stock-based compensation expense, which includes expenses related to restricted stock awards, restricted
stock unit awards ("RSUs"), performance share unit awards ("PSUs"), and stock options associated with our employee stock purchase plan was $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31,
2023 and $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company awarded RSUs to employees, RSUs and PSUs to certain named executive officers ("NEOs"), and RSUs to directors. The vesting criteria
for the PSU awards granted in 2023 were based on a three-year service period with two performance conditions and a market condition related to relative total shareholder return ("TSR") consistent
with prior year grants. The total compensation cost we will recognize under the PSUs is determined using the Monte Carlo valuation methodology, which factors in the value of the TSR market
condition when determining the grant date fair value of the PSU. Compensation cost for each PSU is recognized during the performance and service period based on the probable achievement of the
two performance criteria. The PSUs are converted into shares of our common stock at the time the PSU award value is finalized.

Credit Agreement
At March 31, 2023, the Company’s senior secured credit facility (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement") consisted of a $1.2 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"),
$400.0 million senior secured term loan B due 2024 (the "Term Loan B"), $300.0 million senior secured term loan B-1 due 2028 (the "Term Loan B-1"), $1.3 billion senior secured term loan A due
2027 (the "Term Loan A"), and $100.0 million swing line commitment. Certain amendments to the Credit Agreement entered into during 2022 and 2023, respectively, are described below.
On April 13, 2022, we amended the Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of its Revolver to April 13, 2027, to increase the commitments under the existing revolving credit facility from
$700.0 million to $1.2 billion, and to increase the swing line commitment from $50.0 million to $100.0 million. This amendment also provided for the senior secured Term Loan A due April 13, 2027
in the amount of $800.0 million, which was drawn on November 1, 2022 as part of the financing for the P2E Transaction. Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions for more information regarding the P2E
Transaction. The Company capitalized $3.2 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Revolver commitment increase and $6.4 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loan A
which are being amortized as interest expense over the 5-year term.
On February 24, 2023, we amended our Credit Agreement to increase the loans under the existing Term Loan A due 2027 from $800.0 million to $1.3 billion and made certain other changes to the
existing credit agreement. The Company used the net proceeds from the borrowings under the increased Term Loan A to repay outstanding loans under its Revolver, pay related transaction fees and
expenses and for general corporate purposes. The Company capitalized $2.5 million of debt issuance costs associated with the increased Term Loan A which are being amortized as interest expense
over the remainder of the 5-year term.
The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolver as determined by a pricing grid based on the consolidated total net secured leverage ratio of the Company.
For the period ended March 31, 2023, the Company's commitment fee rate was 0.25%.
The Revolver and Term Loan A bear interest at SOFR plus 10 basis points, plus a variable applicable margin which is determined by the Company's net leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2023, that
applicable margin was 150 basis points. The Term Loan B and Term Loan B-1 bear interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points.

The phase-out of LIBOR in existing debt agreements is set for June 30, 2023. The Credit Agreement includes a general process for establishing an alternative reference rate to the extent LIBOR is
phased out. The Company will complete the transition of its financing from LIBOR to SOFR by June 30, 2023. These transition activities will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
2027 Senior Notes
As of March 31, 2023, we had $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.500% senior unsecured notes that mature on April 1, 2027 (the "2027 Senior Notes"). The 2027 Senior Notes were
issued at par in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers, with interest payable in arrears on April 1st and October 1st of each year, commencing on October 1, 2019. The Company may
redeem some or all of the 2027 Senior Notes at redemption prices set forth in the 2027 Indenture.
2028 Senior Notes
As of March 31, 2023, we had a total of $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.750% senior unsecured notes (collectively, the “2028 Senior Notes”) maturing on January 15, 2028. The
2028 Senior Notes consist of $500.0 million notes issued at par and $200.0 million notes issued at 103.25%. The 2028 Senior Notes were issued in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers,
with interest payable in arrears on January 15th and July 15th of each year, commencing on July 15, 2018. The 3.25% premium is being amortized through interest expense, net over the term of the
notes. The Company may redeem some or all the 2028 Senior Notes at redemption prices set forth in the 2028 Indenture.
2030 Senior Notes
As of March 31, 2023, we had $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.750% senior unsecured notes that mature on April 13, 2030 (the "2030 Senior Notes"). The 2030 Senior Notes were
issued at par in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers, with interest payable in arrears on April 1st and October 1st of each year, commencing on October 1, 2022. In connection with the
offering, we capitalized $18.3 million of debt issuance costs which are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the 2030 Senior Notes. The Company held the net proceeds of this
transaction of $1.2 billion in escrow until the proceeds were utilized to complete the P2E Transaction on November 1, 2022. The Company may redeem some or all the 2030 Senior Notes at
redemption prices set forth in the 2030 Indenture.

10. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Performance Obligations
As of March 31, 2023, our Live and Historical Racing segment had remaining performance obligations on contracts with a duration greater than one year relating to television rights, sponsorships,
personal seat licenses, and admissions, with an aggregate transaction price of $172.7 million. The revenue we expect to recognize on these remaining performance obligations is $50.2 million for the
remainder of 2023, $47.5 million in 2024, $36.8 million in 2025, and the remainder thereafter.
As of March 31, 2023, our remaining performance obligations on contracts with a duration greater than one year in segments other than Live and Historical Racing were not material.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, contract assets were not material.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, contract liabilities were $140.7 million and $58.7 million, respectively, which are included in current deferred revenue, non-current deferred revenue,
and accrued expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities primarily relate to the Live and Historical Racing segment and the increase was primarily due
to cash payments received for unfulfilled performance obligations. We recognized $3.6 million of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which was included in the contract liabilities
balance at December 31, 2022. We recognized $3.2 million of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2022, which was included in the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2021.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company has included its disaggregated revenue disclosures as follows:
• For the Live and Historical Racing segment, revenue is disaggregated between Churchill Downs Racetrack and historical racing properties given that our racing facilities revenues primarily
revolve around live racing events while our historical racing properties revenues primarily revolve around historical racing. This segment is also disaggregated by location given the
geographic economic factors that affect the revenue of service offerings. Within the Live and

Historical racing segment, revenue is further disaggregated between live and simulcast racing, historical racing, racing event-related services, and other services.
• For the TwinSpires segment, revenue is disaggregated between live and simulcast racing, gaming, and other services.
• For the Gaming segment, revenue is disaggregated by location given the geographic economic factors that affect the revenue of gaming service offerings. Within the Gaming segment,
revenue is further disaggregated between live and simulcast racing, racing event-related services, gaming, and other services.

Investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 primarily consisted of a 61.3% interest in Rivers Casino Des Plaines ("Rivers Des Plaines"), a
50% interest in Miami Valley Gaming and Racing ("MVG"), and other immaterial joint ventures.
Rivers Des Plaines
The ownership of Rivers Des Plaines is comprised of the following: (1) the Company owns 61.3%, (2) High Plaines Gaming, LLC ("High Plaines"), an affiliate of Rush Street Gaming, LLC, owns
36.0%, and (3) Casino Investors, LLC owns 2.7%. Both the Company and High Plaines have participating rights over Rivers Des Plaines, and both must consent to operating, investing and financing
decisions. As a result, we account for Rivers Des Plaines using the equity method. As of March 31, 2023, the net aggregate basis difference between the Company’s investment in Rivers Des Plaines
and the amounts of the underlying equity in net assets was $832.4 million.
Our investment in Rivers Des Plaines was $537.9 million and $544.9 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company received distributions from Rivers Des Plaines
of $33.8 million and $30.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Miami Valley Gaming
Delaware North Companies Gaming & Entertainment Inc. ("DNC") owns the remaining 50% interest in MVG. Since both the Company and DNC have participating rights over MVG, and both must
consent to MVG's operating, investing and financing decisions, we account for MVG using the equity method.
Our investment in MVG was $113.9 million and $114.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company received distributions from MVG of $12.0 million and
$10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

13. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate.

Our restricted cash accounts held in money market and interest-bearing accounts qualify for Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, which includes unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for
identical assets.
Debt
The fair value of the Company’s 2030 Senior Notes, 2028 Senior Notes, and 2027 Senior Notes are estimated based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar liabilities in markets that are
not active and as such are Level 2 measurements. The fair values of the Company's Term Loan B, Term Loan B-1, Term Loan A, and Revolver under the Credit Agreement approximate the gross
carrying value of the variable rate debt and as such are Level 2 measurements.

14. CONTINGENCIES
We are involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of conducting business. We carry insurance for workers' compensation claims from our employees and general liability for claims from
independent contractors, customers and guests. We are self-insured up to an aggregate stop loss for our general liability and workers' compensation coverages.
We review all litigation on an ongoing basis when making accrual and disclosure decisions. For certain legal proceedings, we cannot reasonably estimate losses or a range of loss, if any, particularly
for proceedings that are in the early stages of development or where the plaintiffs seek indeterminate damages. Various factors, including but not limited to, the outcome of potentially lengthy
discovery and the resolution of important factual questions, may need to be determined before probability can be established or before a loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. In
accordance with current accounting standards for loss contingencies and based upon information currently known to us, we establish reserves for litigation when it is probable that a loss associated
with a claim or proceeding has been incurred and the amount of the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. When no amount within the range of loss is a better estimate than any other
amount, we accrue the minimum amount of the estimable loss. To the extent that such litigation against us may have an exposure to a loss in excess of the amount we have accrued, we believe that
such excess would not be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.
If the loss contingency in question is not both probable and reasonably estimable, we do not establish an accrual and the matter will continue to be monitored for any developments that would make
the loss contingency both probable and reasonably

estimable. In the event that a legal proceeding results in a substantial judgment against us, or settlement by us, there can be no assurance that any resulting liability or financial commitment would not
have a material adverse impact on our business.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We manage our operations through three reportable segments: Live and Historical Racing, TwinSpires, and Gaming. Our operating segments reflect the internal management reporting used by our

• Live and Historical Racing
The Live and Historical Racing segment includes live and historical pari-mutuel racing related revenue and expenses at Churchill Downs Racetrack and our historical racing properties in
Kentucky, Virginia, and New Hampshire.
Our Live and Historical Racing properties earn commissions primarily from pari-mutuel wagering on live and historical races; simulcast fees earned from other wagering sites, fees from
racing event-related services including admissions, personal seat licenses, sponsorships, television rights, and other miscellaneous services, and revenue from food and beverage services.

The Gaming segment generates revenue and expenses from slot machines, table games, VLTs, video poker, HRMs, ancillary food and beverage services, hotel services, commission on pari-
mutuel wagering, racing event-related services, and other miscellaneous operations.
We have aggregated Arlington as well as certain corporate operations, and other immaterial joint ventures in All Other to reconcile to consolidated results.
Eliminations include the elimination of intersegment transactions. We utilize non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted
EBITDA. Our chief operating decision maker utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA includes the following
adjustments:
Adjusted EBITDA includes our portion of EBITDA from our equity investments.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes:
• Transaction expense, net which includes:
– Acquisition, disposition, and property sale related charges;
– Direct online Sports and Casino business exit costs; and

– Other transaction expense, including legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense;
• Stock-based compensation expense;
• Rivers Des Plaines' impact on our investments in unconsolidated affiliates from:
– The impact of changes in fair value of interest rate swaps; and
– Legal reserves and transaction costs;
• Asset impairments;
• Gain on property sales;
• Legal reserves;
• Pre-opening expense; and
• Other charges, recoveries, and expenses
As of December 31, 2021, Arlington ceased racing and simulcast operations and the property was sold on February 15, 2023 to the Chicago Bears. Arlington's results in 2022 and 2023 are treated as
an adjustment to EBITDA and are included in other expenses, net in the Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income to Adjusted EBITDA.
We utilize the Adjusted EBITDA metric to provide a more accurate measure of our core operating results and enable management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period our
operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of performance, as an alternative to
cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure provided in accordance with GAAP. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different
from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. For segment reporting, Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany revenue and expense totals that are
eliminated in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The tables below present net revenue from external customers, Adjusted EBITDA by segment and reconciles comprehensive income to Adjusted EBITDA:
Net revenue by segment is comprised of the following:

2031 Senior Notes
On April 25, 2023, the Company completed an offering of $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.750% senior unsecured notes that mature on April 25, 2031 ("2031 Notes") in a private
offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the
Securities Act. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repay indebtedness outstanding under its Term Loan B Facility due 2024 and to fund related transaction fees and
expenses, and intends to use the remainder of the proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The 2031 Notes were issued at 100% of the principal amount, plus interest deemed to have accrued from April 25, 2023, with interest payable in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year,
commencing on November 1, 2023. The 2031 Notes will vote as one class under the indenture governing the 2031 Senior Notes. The Company may redeem some or all of the 2031 Notes at any time
prior to April 25, 2025, at redemption prices set forth in the 2031 Offering Memorandum.
In connection with the issuance of the 2031 Notes, the Company and the guarantors of the 2031 Notes entered into a Registration Rights Agreement to register any 2031 Notes under the Securities
Act for resale that are not freely tradable 366 days from April 25, 2023.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This report contains various "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act"), which provides certain "safe harbor" provisions for
forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made in this report are made pursuant to the Act. The reader is cautioned that such forward-looking statements are based on information
available at the time and / or management’s good faith belief with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially
from those expressed in the statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date that the statement was made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking information to reflect

differently.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include the following :

• inability to successfully focus on market access and retail operations for our TwinSpires Sports and Casino business and effectively compete;
• online security risk, including cyber-security breaches, or loss or misuse of our stored information as a result of a breach, including customers’ personal information, could lead to
government enforcement actions or other litigation;
• the impact of significant competition, and the expectation the competition levels will increase;
• changes in consumer preferences, attendance, wagering, and sponsorships;
• risks associated with equity investments, strategic alliances and other third-party agreements;
• inability to respond to rapid technological changes in a timely manner;
• concentration and evolution of slot machine and historical racing machine ("HRM") manufacturing and other technology conditions that could impose additional costs;
• failure to enter into or maintain agreements with industry constituents, including horsemen and other racetracks; inability to successfully focus on market access and retail operations for our
TwinSpires Sports and Casino business and effectively compete; online security risk, including cyber-security breaches, or loss or misuse of our stored information as a result of a breach;
• reliance on our technology services and catastrophic events and system failures disrupting our operations;
• inability to identify, complete, or fully realize the benefits of, our proposed acquisitions, divestitures, development of new venues or the expansion of existing facilities on time, on budget, or
as planned;
• difficulty in integrating recent or future acquisitions into our operations;
• cost overruns and other uncertainties associated with the development of new venues and the expansion of existing facilities;
• general risks related to real estate ownership and significant expenditures, including risks related to environmental liabilities;

 • personal injury litigation related to injuries occurring at our racetracks;
• compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or applicable money-laundering regulations;
• payment-related risks, such as risk associated with fraudulent credit card and debit card use;
• work stoppages and labor issues;
• risks related to pending or future legal proceedings and other actions;
• highly regulated operations and changes in the regulatory environment could adversely affect our business;
• restrictions in our debt facilities limiting our flexibility to operate our business;
• failure to comply with the financial ratios and other covenants in our debt facilities and other indebtedness;
• increase to interest rates (due to inflation or otherwise);
• disruptions in the credit markets or changes to our credit ratings may adversely affect our business;
• increase in our insurance costs, or obtain similar insurance coverage in the future, and inability to recover under our insurance policies for damages sustained at our properties in the event of
inclement weather and casualty events; and
• other factors described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
The following information is unaudited. Tabular dollars are in millions, except per share amounts. All per share amounts assume dilution unless otherwise noted. This report should be read in
conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, including Part I - Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of our Form 10-K for a discussion regarding some of the reasons
that actual results may be materially different from those we anticipate.

Our Business
Churchill Downs Incorporated ("CDI" or the "Company") has been creating extraordinary entertainment experiences for nearly 150 years, beginning with the Company’s most iconic and enduring
asset, the Kentucky Derby. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, CDI has expanded through the development of live and historical racing entertainment venues, the growth of the TwinSpires horse
racing online wagering business and the operation and development of regional casino gaming properties.
We conduct our business through three reportable segments: Live and Historical Racing, TwinSpires, and Gaming. We aggregate our other businesses as well as certain corporate operations, and other
immaterial joint ventures, in All Other. For additional information about our segments, refer to Note 16 - Segment Information, to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Arlington sale
On February 15, 2023, we closed on the sale of the Arlington property in Arlington Heights, Illinois. We sold 326-acres to the Chicago Bears for $197.2 million. The net proceeds of $195.7 million
were used to pay down the outstanding balance amount on our Revolver that was drawn on to fund the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Peninsula Pacific Entertainment ("P2E").
Financing Transactions
On February 24, 2023, we entered into an incremental joinder to our senior secured credit agreement to increase the loans under the existing Term Loan A credit facility due 2027 by $500.0 million.
This joinder increases the existing Term Loan A credit facility due 2027 from $800.0 million to $1.3 billion and makes certain other changes to the existing credit agreement. The Company used the
net proceeds from the borrowings under the increased Term Loan A to repay outstanding loans under its senior secured revolving credit facility, pay related transaction fees and expenses and for
general corporate purposes.
On April 25, 2023, we completed an offering of $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.750% senior unsecured notes that mature in 2031. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds
from the offering to repay indebtedness outstanding under its Term Loan B Facility due 2024 and to fund related transaction fees and expenses, and intends to use the remainder of the proceeds for
working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Transactions Update
On August 11, 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell 49% of United Tote, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company to NYRA Content Management Solutions, LLC, a subsidiary of the New
York Racing Association. The transaction is subject to usual and customary closing conditions, including applicable regulatory notices and approvals, and is expected to close during the first half of
2023.
On December 19, 2022, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement under which we would acquire all the outstanding equity interests of Exacta Systems, LLC ("Exacta") for
total consideration of $250.0 million in cash (the "Exacta Transaction"). The Exacta Transaction is subject to certain working capital and other purchase price adjustments and is expected to close
during 2023.
Impact of the COVID-19 Global Pandemic
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of variant strains, will continue to impact the Company remains uncertain and will depend on many factors that are not within
our control. We will continue to monitor for new developments related to the pandemic and assess these developments to maintain continuity in our operations.
Key Indicators to Evaluate Business Results and Financial Condition
Our management monitors a variety of key indicators to evaluate our business results and financial condition. These indicators include changes in net revenue, operating expense, operating income,
earnings per share, outstanding debt balance, operating cash flow and capital spend.
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We also use non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA
(earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure of results of operations enables
management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period our operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. Our chief operating decision maker utilizes Adjusted
EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in
accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our
operating results.

FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2023
28
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the following:
Adjusted EBITDA includes our portion of EBITDA from our equity investments.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes:
• Transaction expense, net which includes:
– Acquisition, disposition, and property sale related charges;
– Direct online Sports and Casino business exit costs; and
– Other transaction expense, including legal, accounting and other deal-related expense;
• Stock-based compensation expense;
• Rivers Des Plaines' impact on our investments in unconsolidated affiliates from:
– The impact of changes in fair value of interest rate swaps, and
– Legal reserves and transaction costs;
• Asset impairments;
• Gain on property sales;
• Legal reserves;
• Pre-opening expense; and
• Other charges, recoveries and expenses
As of December 31, 2021, Arlington ceased racing and simulcast operations and the property was sold on February 15, 2023 to the Chicago Bears. Arlington's results in 2022 and 2023 are treated as
an adjustment to EBITDA and are included in other expenses, net in the Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income to Adjusted EBITDA.
For segment reporting, Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany revenue and expense totals that are eliminated in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. See the
Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income to Adjusted EBITDA included in this section for additional information.
Governmental Regulations and Legislative Changes
We are subject to various federal, state and international laws and regulations that affect our businesses. The ownership, operation and management of our Live and Historical Racing, TwinSpires, and
Gaming segments, as well as our other operations, are subject to regulation under the laws and regulations of each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The ownership, operation and management
of our businesses and properties are also subject to legislative actions at both the federal and state level. The following update on our regulatory and legislative actions should be read in conjunction
with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, including Part I - Item 1, "Business" for a discussion of regulatory and legislative changes.
Specific State Gaming Regulations
Kentucky
In 2023, the Kentucky General Assembly passed a bill to authorize the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission to regulate sports betting. Only licensed racetracks and their extensions can operate retail
sports betting. Each track is allowed to contract with up to three providers to carryout online or retail sports betting.

Park and Chasers Transactions, the opening of Turfway Park in September 2022 and continued growth at our Oak Grove property and a $72.7 million increase from Gaming primarily due to
our New York and Iowa properties acquired in the P2E Transaction. Partially offsetting these increases was a $5.5 million decrease in TwinSpires primarily due to a decrease in Horse Racing
as a higher portion of our patrons returned to wagering at brick-and-mortar facilities instead of wagering online, the exit of our direct online Sports and Casino business in the first quarter of
2022 and a decrease in All Other of $0.2 million.
• Operating income increased $72.5 million primarily due to a $52.8 million increase in Live and Historical Racing incremental revenue from the P2E properties acquired in Virginia, and a
$24.4 million increase in Gaming driven by the P2E acquired properties in New York and Iowa, decreased transaction and impairment costs of $10.1 million, and an increase in TwinSpires of
$3.7 million as a result of the exit of our direct online Sports and Casino business. Partially offsetting these increases was a $16.4 million increase in corporate general and administrative
expenses driven by the acquisition of P2E and $2.1 million increase in All Other operating income.
• Net income increased $113.6 million. The following items impacted comparability of the Company's net income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023
compared to three months ended March 31, 2022: a $86.2 million after tax gain on the sale of the Arlington property, partially offset by a $1.2 million after-tax net increase in adjustments
related to our unconsolidated affiliates, transaction, pre-opening and other expenses. Excluding these items, net income increased $28.6 million primarily due to a $60.5 million after-tax
increase driven by the results of our operations and equity in income from our unconsolidated affiliates, partially offset by a $31.9 million after-tax increase in interest expense associated
with higher outstanding debt balances.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased $94.4 million driven by a $54.2 million increase from Live and Historical Racing attributable to the properties acquired in the P2E, Ellis Park and Chasers
Transactions, a $38.4 million increase from Gaming driven by the P2E properties acquired in New York and Iowa, and a $5.3 million increase from TwinSpires, partially offset by $3.5
million decrease from All Other.

Adjusted EBITDA
We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure of the results of operations enables management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period our
operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or
as an alternative to any other measure provided in accordance with GAAP.

2022. The remaining properties contributed a $0.4 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA..
• TwinSpires Adjusted EBITDA increased $5.3 million primarily due to the decision to exit the direct online Sports and Casino business in the first quarter of 2022 and incremental revenue
from TwinSpires business to business agreements, partially offset by higher content related expenses and advance deposit wagering taxes in certain jurisdictions.
• Gaming Adjusted EBITDA increased $38.4 million driven by a $26.5 million increase attributable to the New York and Iowa properties acquired in the P2E Transaction, a $13.5 million
increase from our equity investments, and a $0.9 million increase from our properties in Maine, Maryland, and Louisiana. Partially offsetting these increases was a $2.5 million decrease from
our properties in Pennsylvania, Florida, and Mississippi.
• All Other Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3.5 million driven primarily by increased corporate compensation related expenses and legal fees.

Financing activities (237.7) (68.0) (169.7)

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023, Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
• Cash flows from operating activities increased $80.7 million driven by a $77.7 million increase in operating income and distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, a $25.5 million increase
in deferred revenue due to advanced sales for the 2023 Kentucky Derby, and $12.3 million decrease in cash used for working capital and all other. These were partially offset by $34.8 million
increased interest paid in 2023. We anticipate that cash flows from operations over the next twelve months will be adequate to fund our business operations and capital expenditures.
• Cash flows from investing activities increased $117.3 million driven by the $195.7 million proceeds from the Arlington sale, partially offset by an increase in capital project expenditures in
2023 primarily at Churchill Downs Racetrack and for the Dumfries project in Virginia.
• Cash flows from financing activities decreased $169.7 million primarily driven by a $182.0 million net pay down of long-term debt in 2023, partially offset by stock repurchased during 2022.
We have announced several project capital investments, including the following: Churchill Downs Racetrack First Turn Experience and the Paddock Project, the Derby City Gaming Expansion and
Hotel, Derby City Gaming Downtown, the Ellis Park HRM facility in Owensboro, Kentucky, the Terre Haute Casino Resort in Virgo County, Indiana, a New Hampshire HRM Facility, the Virginia
HRM entertainment venues in Dumfries and Emporia, and HRMs in our Louisiana OTBs. We currently expect our project capital to be approximately $575 to $675 million in 2023, although this
amount may vary significantly based on the timing of work completed, unanticipated delays, and timing of payments to third parties.
Common Stock Repurchase Program
On September 29, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a common stock repurchase program of up to $500.0 million ("2021 Stock Repurchase Program"). The 2021 Stock
Repurchase Program includes and is not in addition to the unspent amount remaining under the prior 2018 Stock Purchase Program authorization. Repurchases may be made at management’s
discretion from time to time on the open market (either with or without a 10b5-1 plan) or through privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended or
discontinued at any time. We had $270.2 million of repurchase authority remaining under this program on March 31, 2023.

Credit Agreement
At March 31, 2023, the Company’s senior secured credit facility (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement") consisted of a $1.2 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"),
$400.0 million senior secured term loan B due 2024 (the "Term Loan B"), $300.0 million senior secured term loan B-1 due 2028 (the "Term Loan B-1"), $1.3 billion senior secured term loan A due
2027 (the "Term Loan A"), and $100.0 million swing line commitment. Certain amendments to the Credit Agreement entered into during 2022 and 2023, respectively, are described below.
On April 13, 2022, we amended the Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of its Revolver to April 13, 2027, to increase the commitments under the existing revolving credit facility from
$700.0 million to $1.2 billion, and to increase the swing line commitment from $50.0 million to $100.0 million. This amendment also provided for the senior secured Term Loan A due April 13, 2027
in the amount of $800.0 million, which was drawn on November 1, 2022 as part of the financing for the P2E Transaction. Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions to our Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, for further information regarding the P2E Transaction. The Company capitalized $3.2 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Revolver commitment increase and $6.4 million of
debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loan A which are being amortized as interest expense over the 5-year term.
On February 24, 2023, we amended our Credit Agreement to increase the loans under the existing Term Loan A due 2027 from $800.0 million to $1.3 billion and made certain other changes to the
existing credit agreement. The Company used the net proceeds from the borrowings under the increased Term Loan A to repay outstanding loans under its Revolver, pay related transaction fees and
expenses and for general corporate purposes. The Company capitalized $2.5 million of debt issuance costs associated with the increased Term Loan A which are being amortized as interest expense
over the remainder of the 5-year term.
The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolver as determined by a pricing grid based on the consolidated total net secured leverage ratio of the Company.
For the period ended March 31, 2023, the Company's commitment fee rate was 0.25%.
The Revolver and Term Loan A bear interest at SOFR plus 10 basis points, plus a variable applicable margin which is determined by the Company's net leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2023, that
applicable margin was 150 basis points. The Term Loan B and Term Loan B-1 bear interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points.

The phase-out of LIBOR in existing debt agreements is set for June 30, 2023. The Credit Agreement includes a general process for establishing an alternative reference rate to the extent LIBOR is
phased out. The Company will complete the transition of its financing from LIBOR to SOFR by June 30, 2023. These transition activities will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
2027 Senior Notes
As of March 31, 2023, we had $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.500% senior unsecured notes that mature on April 1, 2027 (the "2027 Senior Notes"). The 2027 Senior Notes were
issued at par in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers, with interest payable in arrears on April 1st and October 1st of each year, commencing on October 1, 2019. The Company may
redeem some or all of the 2027 Senior Notes at redemption prices set forth in the 2027 Indenture.
2028 Senior Notes
As of March 31, 2023, we had a total of $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.750% senior unsecured notes (collectively, the “2028 Senior Notes”) maturing on January 15, 2028. The
2028 Senior Notes consist of $500.0 million notes issued at par and $200.0 million notes issued at 103.25%. The 2028 Senior Notes were issued in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers,
with interest payable in arrears on January 15th and July 15th of each year, commencing on July 15, 2018. The 3.25% premium is being amortized through interest expense, net over the term of the
notes. The Company may redeem some or all the 2028 Senior Notes at redemption prices set forth in the 2028 Indenture.
2030 Senior Notes
As of March 31, 2023, we had $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.750% senior unsecured notes that mature on April 13, 2030 (the "2030 Senior Notes"). The 2030 Senior Notes were
issued at par in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers, with interest payable in arrears on April 1st and October 1st of each year, commencing on October 1, 2022. In connection with the
offering, we capitalized $18.3 million of debt issuance costs which are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the 2030 Senior Notes. The Company held the net proceeds of this
transaction of $1.2 billion in escrow until the proceeds were utilized to complete the P2E Transaction on November 1, 2022. The Company may redeem some or all the 2030 Senior Notes at
redemption prices set forth in the 2030 Indenture.

offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the
Securities Act. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repay indebtedness outstanding under its Term Loan B Facility due 2024 and to fund related transaction fees and
expenses, and intends to use the remainder of the proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The 2031 Notes were issued at 100% of the principal amount, plus interest deemed to have accrued from April 25, 2023, with interest payable in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year,
commencing on November 1, 2023. The 2031 Notes will vote as one class under the indenture governing the 2031 Senior Notes.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in:
• general economic trends; and
• interest rate and credit risk.
General economic trends
Our business is sensitive to consumer confidence and reductions in consumers' discretionary spending, which may result from challenging economic conditions, inflation, unemployment levels and
other changes in the economy. Demand for entertainment and leisure activities is sensitive to consumers’ disposable incomes, which can be adversely affected by economic conditions and
unemployment levels. This could result in fewer patrons visiting our racetracks, gaming and wagering facilities, and online wagering sites and/or may impact our customers’ ability to wager with the
same frequency and to maintain wagering levels.

FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2023
36
Interest rate and credit risk
Our primary exposure to market risk relates to changes in interest rates. On March 31, 2023, we had $2.0 billion outstanding under our Credit Agreement, which bears interest at LIBOR and SOFR
based variable rates. We are exposed to market risk on variable rate debt due to potential adverse changes in these rates. Assuming the outstanding balance of the debt facility remains constant, a one-
percentage point increase in the LIBOR or SOFR rate would reduce net income and cash flows from operating activities by $14.2 million. The phase-out of LIBOR for existing debit agreements is set
for June 30, 2023. The Credit Agreement includes a general process for establishing an alternative reference rate to the extent LIBOR is phased out. The Company is in the process of transitioning its
financing from LIBOR to alternative reference rates. These transition activities are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13a-15(e), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and
procedures.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The following descriptions include updates since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, relating to the proceedings involving the Company. In addition
to the matters described below, we are also involved in ordinary routine litigation matters which are incidental to our business. Refer to Note 14, Contingencies, to our Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements, for further information.
Bob Baffert and Bob Baffert Racing Stables, Inc. v. Churchill Downs Incorporated, Bill Carstanjen and Alex Rankin
On February 28, 2022, plaintiffs Bob Baffert and Bob Baffert Racing Stables, Inc. filed a complaint and motion for preliminary injunction against Churchill Downs Incorporated, its Chief Executive
Officer Bill Carstanjen, and its Chairman of the Board of Directors Alex Rankin in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, arising out of the Company’s decision to suspend Mr.
Baffert from entering horses trained by him at any Company-owned racetrack for a period of two years. The Company’s two-year suspension of Mr. Baffert came after Baffert-trained horse, Medina
Spirit, finished first in the 147th running of the Kentucky Derby but subsequently tested positive for betamethasone, a banned race-day substance. Plaintiffs allege that the Company’s decisions to
suspend Mr. Baffert from racing at any Company-owned racetrack and to prohibit horses trained by him (or any other suspended trainer) from accumulating Derby-qualifying points were unlawful.
Plaintiffs assert claims for (i) violation of the due process clause, (ii) unlawful exclusion, (iii) violations of the federal antitrust laws, (iv) tortious interference with contract, and (v) tortious
interference with prospective business advantage.
In addition to and separate from the Company’s suspension of Mr. Baffert, on February 21, 2022, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission ("KHRC") Board of Stewards suspended Mr. Baffert from
racing in Kentucky for 90 days and issued a fine to him. The KHRC rejected Mr. Baffert’s requests to stay the suspension. Mr. Baffert unsuccessfully sought judicial intervention relieving him from
the KHRC suspension. On March 21, 2022, the Franklin County Circuit Court concluded Mr. Baffert was not entitled to a stay of the KHRC suspension and that he had not satisfied a single element
required for a temporary injunction of the KHRC suspension. This decision was affirmed by the Kentucky Court of Appeals on April 1, 2022 in an order denying Mr. Baffert’s motion for emergency
relief. After the Kentucky Court of Appeals allowed the KHRC’s 90-day suspension of Mr. Baffert to stand, plaintiffs voluntarily withdrew their motion for preliminary injunction against the
Company without prejudice.
On May 2, 2022, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaint. Plaintiffs filed a renewed motion for preliminary injunction on December 15, 2022. On February 17, 2023, the Court
issued a memorandum opinion and order granting the Company’s motion to dismiss in part, allowing a portion of the due process claim to remain. In the same order, the Court denied Plaintiffs’
motion for preliminary injunction, concluding that Plaintiff had not established irreparable injury and was not likely to succeed on the merits of the remaining claim. On March 14, 2023, the
Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment on the remaining claim. The Company, Mr. Carstanjen, and Mr. Rankin intend to defend this matter vigorously and believe that there are meritorious
legal and factual defenses against plaintiffs' allegations and requests for relief.

In the event of an Inaccuracy Determination, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Inaccurate Applicable Margin Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Inaccurate Applicable Margin Period, then Borrower shall - 5-

the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith.

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Consolidated Total Net Leverage(a) Ratio, the Consolidated Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Tangible Assets shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.05; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 1.05, when calculating the Consolidated Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio, as applicable, for purposes of determining actual compliance (and not compliance on a Pro Forma Basis) with any covenant pursuant to Section 10.08, the events described in this Section 1.05 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect. For purposes of calculating the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated(b) Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Tangible Assets, Specified Transactions (and the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period and (ii) subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If, since the beginning of any applicable Test Period, any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required
adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.05, then the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Tangible Assets shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.05. At the election of the Borrower, whether pro forma effect is to be given to the(c) Transactions or a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of Borrower and include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies projected by Borrower in good faith to be realized as a result of specified actions taken or with respect to which steps have been initiated, or are reasonably expected to be initiated, within twelve (12) months of the Closing Date, in the case of the Transactions, and in the case of any other Specified Transaction, within eighteen (18) months of the closing date of such Specified Transaction (in the good faith determination of Borrower) (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies had been realized during the entirety of the applicable period), net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions; provided that, with respect to any such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies, the limitations and requirements set forth in clause (c) of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA (other than the requirement set forth in clause (c) of Consolidated EBITDA that steps have been initiated or taken) shall apply; provided, further, that the aggregate amount of additions made to Consolidated EBITDA for any Test Period pursuant to this clause (c) and clause (c) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” shall not (i) exceed
20.0% of Consolidated EBITDA for such Test Period (after giving effect to this clause (c) and clause (c) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”) or (ii) be duplicative of one another. In the event that Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption(d) or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, prepayment, retirement, exchange or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio, as the case may be (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred - 89-
or repaid under any revolving credit facility without a corresponding permanent reduction in the commitments with respect thereto), (i) during the applicable Test Period and/or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on (A) the last day of the applicable Test Period in the case of the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio and (B) on the first day of the applicable Test Period in the case of the Interest Coverage Ratio. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Interest Coverage Ratio is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any hedging obligations applicable to such Indebtedness); provided that, in the case of repayment of any Indebtedness, to the extent actual interest related thereto was included during all or any portion of the applicable Test Period, the actual interest may be used for the applicable portion of such Test Period. Interest on a Capital Lease shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a London interbank offered rate, or
other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as Borrower may designate. Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount ofSECTION 1.06. a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time. Limited Condition Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrarySECTION 1.07. in any Credit Document, for purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document which requires the calculation of the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio or Consolidated Tangible Assets, (ii) determining compliance with representations, warranties, Defaults or Events of Default (including for purposes of the incurrence of any Incremental Commitment) or (iii) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement or any other Credit Document (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Tangible Assets or of Consolidated Total Assets), in each case, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction (a “Limited Condition Transaction” shall be defined as the Specified Acquisition, any Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition not prohibited hereunder (including repayment of Indebtedness of the Person acquired, or that is secured by the assets acquired, in
such Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition), permitted Investment or unconditional repayment or redemption of, or offer to purchase, any Indebtedness, and, in each case, any transactions in connection therewith, including the incurrence of Indebtedness, Liens and Asset Sales and the designation or redesignation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary), at the option of Borrower (Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action (including actions in connection therewith) is permitted under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (or, with respect to the incurrence of - 90-
Indebtedness and Liens, the Limited Condition Transaction for which the proceeds will be used) (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving effect on a Pro Forma Basis to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, Borrower could have taken such action (and actions in connection therewith) on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such representation, warranty, absence of Default or Event of Default, ratio or basket, such representation, warranty, absence of Default or Event of Default, ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with, in each case regardless of whether such provision makes reference to this Section 1.07, a Limited Condition Transaction or an LCT Election. For the avoidance of doubt, if Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Total Assets or Consolidated Tangible Assets of Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of ratios or baskets on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Form
Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of (i) any Incremental Commitments that may be incurred under the Incremental Incurrence-Based Amount and (ii) any Indebtedness that may be incurred under the Ratio Incurrence-Based Amount, in each case, determined at the time of signing of definitive documentation with respect to, or giving of notice with respect to, a Limited Condition Transaction may be recalculated, at the option of Borrower, at the time of funding. Ratio Calculations; Negative Covenant Reclassification.SECTION 1.08. With respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in(a) reliance on a provision of any Credit Document that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and/or the Interest Coverage Ratio, whether or not specifically required to be determined on a Pro Forma Basis) (any such amounts (which will include any related “grower” component), the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of such Credit Document that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and/or the Interest Coverage Ratio, whether or not specifically required to be determined on a Pro Forma Basis) which may include any “builder” or “grower” amount (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts together with any amounts incurred to
fund the original issue discount and upfront fees shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to such Incurrence-Based Amounts. For example, if Borrower incurs Indebtedness under clause (a), (b) or (c) of the definition of “Incremental Loan Amount” on the same date that it incurs Indebtedness under clause (d) of the definition of “Incremental Loan Amount”, then the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and any other applicable ratio will be calculated with respect to such incurrence under clause (d) of the definition of “Incremental Loan Amount” without regard to any incurrence of Indebtedness under clause (a), (b) or (c) of the definition of “Incremental Loan Amount”. If Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries enters into any revolving, - 91-
delayed draw or other committed debt facility, Borrower may elect to determine compliance of such debt facility (including the incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens from time to time in connection therewith) with this Agreement and each other Credit Document on the date definitive loan documents with respect thereto are executed by all parties thereto, assuming the full amount of such facility is incurred (and any applicable Liens are granted) on such date, in lieu of determining such compliance on any subsequent date (including any date on which Indebtedness is incurred pursuant to such facility). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the(b) contrary, (i) unless specifically stated otherwise herein, any carve-out, basket, exclusion or exception to any affirmative, negative or other covenant in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents may be used together by any Credit Party and its Subsidiaries without limitation for any purpose not prohibited hereby, and (ii) any action or event permitted by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such action or event but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. For purposes of determining compliance with Article X, in the event that any Lien, Investment, Indebtedness (whether at the time of incurrence or upon application of all or a portion of the proceeds thereof), Asset Sale, disposition, fundamental change, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction, contractual requirement or payment or prepayment of Indebtedness meets the criteria of one, or more than one, of the “baskets” or categories of transactions then permitted pursuant to any clause or subsection of Article X, such transaction (or any portion thereof) at any time shall be permitted under one or more of such “baskets” or categories at the time of
such transaction or any later time from time to time, in each case, as determined by Borrower in its sole discretion at such time and thereafter may be reclassified or divided (as if incurred at such later time) by Borrower in any manner not expressly prohibited by this Agreement), and such Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Asset Sale, disposition, fundamental change, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction, contractual requirement or payment or prepayment of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) shall be treated as having been incurred or existing pursuant to only such “basket” or category of transactions or “baskets” or categories of transactions (or any portion thereof) without giving pro forma effect to such item (or portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Liens, Investments, Indebtedness, Asset Sales, dispositions, fundamental changes, Restricted Payments, Affiliate transactions, contractual requirements or payments or prepayments of Indebtedness, as applicable, that may be incurred pursuant to any other “basket” or category of transactions. SECTION 1.09. Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to
determine the interest rate on LIBOR Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election, Section 5.02(d) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest with respect to the Revolving Facility and the Term B-1 Facility. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower, pursuant to Section 5.02(f), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is based. However, Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO - 92-
 Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 5.02(d), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 5.02(e)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. ARTICLE II. CREDITS Loans.SECTION 2.01. Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, on the terms(a) and conditions of this Agreement, to make revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”) to Borrower in Dollars from time to time, on any Business Day during, with respect to any Tranche of Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender, the Revolving Availability Period applicable to such Tranche of Revolving Commitment, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not exceeding the amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Tranche of such Revolving Lender as in effect from time to time; provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (i) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of (without duplication) all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans then outstanding plus the aggregate amount of all L/C Liabilities shall not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments as in effect at such time, (ii) the Revolving Exposure of such Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitments in effect at such time, (iii) the Revolving Tranche Exposure of such Revolving Lender in
respect of each Tranche of Revolving Commitments of such Lender shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment of such Tranche in effect at such time and (iv) the Revolving Tranche Exposure of all Revolving Lenders in respect of each Tranche of Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Tranche in effect at such time. Borrower shall elect the Tranche of Revolving Commitments under which Revolving Loans are to be borrowed under this Section 2.01(a) by indicating such Tranche in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the applicable Revolving Availability Period, Borrower may borrow, repay and re-borrow the amount of the Revolving Commitments by means of ABR Loans and Term Benchmark Loans. Term A Facility Loans. Each Term A Facility Lender with a Term A Facility(b) Commitment agrees, severally and not jointly, to make to the Borrower, and the Borrower may request, (x) in the case of such obligations established under the Fourth Amendment, on any Business Day during the Term A Facility Availability Period and (y) in the case of such obligations established under the 2023 Incremental Joinder Agreement, on the 2023 Incremental Joinder Agreement Effective Date, the term loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of such Term A Facility Lender’s Term A Facility Commitment. Solely in the case of any Term A Facility Commitments established under the Fourth Amendment, on any Business Day during the Term A Facility Availability Period, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may make a single Borrowing under the Term A Facility Commitments up to the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Term A Facility Commitments. Term A Facility Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Term A Facility Loans will be available as
ABR Loans and Term Benchmark Loans. Term B-1 Facility Loans. Each Lender with a Term B-1 Facility Commitment on the(c) 2021 Incremental Joinder Agreement Effective Date agrees, severally and not jointly, on the terms and - 93-
conditions of, and pursuant to and in accordance with, the 2021 Incremental Joinder Agreement to make a Term B-1 Facility Loan to Borrower in Dollars on the 2021 Incremental Joinder Agreement Effective Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Term B-1 Facility Commitment of such Lender. Term B-1 Facility Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Term B Facility Loans. Each Lender with a Term B Facility Commitment agrees,(d) severally and not jointly, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make a Term B Facility Loan to Borrower in Dollars on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Term B Facility Commitment of such Lender. Term B Facility Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Limit on LIBOR Loans and Term Benchmark Loans. No more than ten (10) separate(e) Interest Periods in respect of each of LIBOR Loans and Term Benchmark Loans, as applicable, may be outstanding at any one time in the aggregate under all of the facilities. Swingline Loans.(f) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein(i) and in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.01(f), the Swingline Lender at the request of Borrower may, in the Swingline Lender’s sole discretion, make Swingline Loans to Borrower in Dollars from time to time during any Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (x) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Sublimit or (y) (1) the sum of the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the Total Revolving Commitments, (2) the Revolving Exposure of any Revolving Lender exceeding the Revolving Commitments of such Lender then in effect, (3) the Revolving Tranche Exposure of any Revolving Lender in respect of any Tranche of Revolving Commitments exceeding such Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Commitment of such Tranche in effect at such time or (4) the Revolving Tranche Exposure of all Revolving Lenders in respect of any Tranche of Revolving Commitments exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Tranche in effect at such time; provided, however, that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may borrow, repay and re-borrow Swingline Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01(f) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loan at a time when a Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender if such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swingline Loans cannot be reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.14(a) unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender and Borrower have been made to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ participation in such Swingline Loans, including by Cash Collateralizing in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount, or obtaining a backstop letter of credit from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender to support, such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ Commitment percentage of outstanding Swingline Loans. Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, Borrower shall notify(ii) Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing in the form of a Notice of Borrowing by facsimile or electronic mail), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan (which day shall be a Business Day). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested
Swingline Loan and the Tranche of Revolving Commitments under which such Swingline Loan is to be borrowed. Administrative Agent will promptly advise the - 94-
Swingline Lender of any such notice received from Borrower. Unless the Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swingline Loan (A) directing the Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.01(f)(i) or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to Borrower by depositing the same by wire transfer of immediately available funds in (or, in the case of an account of Borrower maintained with the Swingline Lender, by crediting the same to) the account of Borrower as directed by Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing for such Swingline Loan by 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. Swingline Loans shall only be incurred and maintained as ABR Loans. Borrower shall not request a Swingline Loan if at the time of or immediately after giving effect to such request a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Swingline Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of $500,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 above such amount. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Revolving Lender of the applicable Tranche shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s R/C Percentage (with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments) of such Swingline Loan. Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time(iii) to repay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, and without any penalty or premium, upon giving
written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written, or telecopy notice) to the Swingline Lender and to Administrative Agent before 12:00 p.m. (Noon), New York time, on the date of repayment at the Swingline Lender’s office as the Swingline Lender may from time to time specify to Borrower and Administrative Agent. Refinancing; Participations.(iv) The Swingline Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on(A) behalf of Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche make an ABR Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s R/C Percentage (with respect to the applicable Tranche) of the amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in this Agreement for the principal amount of ABR Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 7.02. The Swingline Lender shall furnish Borrower with a copy of the applicable notice promptly after delivering such notice to Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche shall make an amount equal to its R/C Percentage (with respect to the applicable Tranche) of the amount specified in such notice available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swingline Loan) for the account of the Swingline Lender at Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.01(f)(iv)(B), each Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Loan under such Tranche to
Borrower in such amount. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender. - 95-
If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a(B) Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.01(f)(iv)(A), the request for ABR Loans submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders under the applicable Tranche fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan and each Revolving Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.01(f)(iv)(A) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. If any Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche fails to make(C) available to Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.01(f)(iv)(A) by the time specified in such Section, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Swingline Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid (other than any such interest or fees) shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (C) shall be conclusive absent manifes
error. Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans under the(D) applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.01(f)(iv) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans under the applicable Tranche pursuant to this Section 2.01(f)(iv) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein. The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower for(E) interest on the Swingline Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan under the applicable Tranche or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.01(f) to refinance such Revolving Lender’s R/C Percentage (with respect to the applicable Tranche) of any Swingline Loan, interest in respect of such R/C Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swingline Lender. Working Cash Sweep Rider. Any provision of this Section 2.01(f) to the(v) contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Lender acknowledges that, at the request of the Borrower, the Swingline Lender has linked the Swingline Loans to the Borrower’s demand deposit account with the Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent and - 96-
the Revolving Lenders further acknowledge that the Borrower has entered into an Amended and Restated Working Cash, Line of Credit, Investment Sweep Rider (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time with the consent of the Borrower and the Swingline Lender, “Working Cash Sweep Rider”) with the Swingline Lender, pursuant to which certain cash management activities, including the making of Swingline Loans, will occur automatically in amounts that may be less than the stated minimum Swingline Loan set forth in Section 2.01(f)(ii) above, and without the need for a Notice of Borrowing. Each Revolving Lender agrees that it shall be obligated, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.01(f)(iv), to fund such Revolving Lender’s R/C Percentage of any such automatically-made Swingline Loans on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the day such advances are made, unless the Administrative Agent shall have given the Swingline Lender written notice prior to the date the Swingline Loan was made that any applicable condition precedent set forth in Section 7.01 or 7.02 had not then been satisfied, and the Swingline Lender has had a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed two (2) Business Days from such notice, within which to act. In the event of termination of the Working Cash Sweep Rider by either the Borrower or the Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such termination. Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this(g) Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by Borrower, Administrative Agent and such Lender. Borrowings. Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of eachSECTION 2.02. borrowing
hereunder as provided in Section 4.05 in the form of a Notice of Borrowing. Unless otherwise agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, not later than 12:00 p.m. (Noon), New York time, on the date specified for each borrowing in Section 4.05, each Lender shall make available the amount of the Loan or Loans to be made by it on such date to Administrative Agent, at an account specified by Administrative Agent maintained at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, for the account of Borrower. Each borrowing of Revolving Loans under a particular Tranche of Revolving Commitments shall be made by each Revolving Lender with Revolving Commitments of such Tranche pro rata based on its R/C Percentage with respect to such Tranche of Revolving Commitments. The amounts so received by Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to Borrower not later than 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the actual applicable Funding Date, by depositing the same by wire transfer of immediately available funds in (or, in the case of an account of Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, by crediting the same to) the account or accounts of Borrower or any other account or accounts in each case as directed by Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Letters of Credit.SECTION 2.03. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Revolving Commitments may be utilized,(a) upon the request of Borrower, in addition to the Revolving Loans provided for by Section 2.01(a), for standby and commercial documentary letters of credit (herein collectively called “Letters of Credit”) issued by the applicable L/C Lender (which L/C Lenders agree to the terms and provisions of this Section 2.03 in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth herein) for the account of Borrower or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that in no event shall (A) the
aggregate amount of all L/C Liabilities, plus the aggregate principal(i) amount of all the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans then outstanding, exceed at any time the Total Revolving Commitments as in effect at such time or (B) the Revolving Tranche - 97-
Exposure of all Revolving Lenders in respect of any Tranche of Revolving Commitments exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Tranche in effect at such time, (A) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans of any(ii) Revolving Lender then outstanding, plus such Revolving Lender’s L/C Liability plus such Revolving Lender’s Swingline Exposure exceed at any time such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment as in effect at such time or (B) the Revolving Tranche Exposure of all Revolving Lenders in respect of any Tranche of Revolving Commitments exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Tranche in effect at such time, (x) the outstanding aggregate amount of all L/C Liabilities exceed the L/C(iii) Sublimit or (y) unless the applicable L/C Lender consents, the Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Lender plus the aggregate amount of all L/C Disbursements of such L/C Lender that have not yet been reimbursed in respect of all Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Lender exceed such L/C Lender’s L/C Commitment, the Stated Amount of any Letter of Credit be less than $100,000 or such lesser(iv) amount as is acceptable to the L/C Lender, the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the earlier of (x) the(v) fifth Business Day preceding the latest R/C Maturity Date then in effect and (y) the date twelve (12) months following the date of such issuance, unless in the case of this clause (y) the applicable L/C Lender has approved such expiry date in writing (but never beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the latest R/C Maturity Date then in effect), except for any Letter of Credit that Borrower has agreed to Cash Collateralize in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount or otherwise backstop (with a letter of credit on customary terms) to the applicable L/C Lender’s and Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction, on or prior to the fifth Business Day
preceding the latest R/C Maturity Date then in effect, subject to the ability of Borrower to request Auto-Extension Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03(b); provided that in the case of any such Letter of Credit that is so Cash Collateralized, the obligations of the applicable Revolving Lenders to participate in such Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.03(f) shall terminate on the fifth Business Day preceding the latest R/C Maturity Date then in effect, any L/C Lender issue any Letter of Credit after it has received notice from(vi) Borrower or the Required Revolving Lenders stating that a Default exists until such time as such L/C Lender shall have received written notice of (x) rescission of such notice from the Required Revolving Lenders, (y) waiver or cure of such Default in accordance with this Agreement or (z) Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that such Default has ceased to exist, any Letter of Credit be issued in a currency other than Dollars nor at a tenor(vii) other than sight; or the L/C Lender be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit, amend or modify any(viii) outstanding Letter of Credit or extend the expiry date of any outstanding Letter of Credit at any time when a Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche is a Defaulting Lender if such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Liability cannot be reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.14(a) unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Lender and Borrower have been made to eliminate the L/C Lender’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by all such Defaulting Lenders, including by Cash Collateralizing in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount, or obtaining a backstop letter of credit from an issuer - 98-
 reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Lender to support, each such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Liability. Whenever Borrower requires the issuance of a Letter of Credit it shall give the(b) applicable L/C Lender and Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days written notice (or such shorter period of notice acceptable to the L/C Lender). Such Letter of Credit application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system agreed to by the applicable L/C Lender, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the applicable L/C Lender. Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit L or such other form as is reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Lender appropriately completed (each a “Letter of Credit Request”) and shall specify the Tranche of Revolving Commitments under which such Letter of Credit shall be issued and a date of issuance not beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the latest R/C Maturity Date for the applicable Tranche then in effect for the applicable Tranche then in effect (it being understood that after issuance of any Letter of Credit Borrower may by written notice to Administrative Agent designate such Letter of Credit as having been issued under another Tranche of Revolving Commitments if such Letter of Credit would be permitted to be issued under such other Tranche of Revolving Commitments at such time), except for any Letter of Credit that Borrower has agreed to Cash Collateralize in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount or otherwise backstop (with a letter of credit on customary terms) to the applicable L/C Lender’s and Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction, on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day preceding such R/C Maturity Date. Each Letter of Credit Request must be accompanied by documentation describing in reasonable detail the proposed terms, conditions and format of the Letter of Credit to be issued. If requested by
the L/C Lender, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the L/C Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the L/C Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. If Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the applicable L/C Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Lender to decline any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Lender at the time of the original issuance or automatic extension of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Lender for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the fifth Business Day preceding the latest R/C Maturity Date then in effect (provided, that such five (5) Business Day limitation shall not apply to any Letter of Credit that Borrower has agreed to Cash Collateralize in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount or otherwise backstop (with a letter of credit on customary terms) to the applicabl
L/C Lender’s and Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction) (provided that in the case of any such Letter of Credit that is so Cash Collateralized, the obligations of the applicable Revolving Lenders to participate in such Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.03(f) shall terminate on the fifth (5th) Business Day preceding the latest R/C Maturity Date then in effect); provided, however, that the L/C Lender shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Lender has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from Administrative Agent, any Lender or Borrower that one or more of the - 99-
 applicable conditions specified in Section 7.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Lender not to permit such extension. If there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and condition of any application, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern. Each Lender hereby authorizes each L/C Lender to issue and perform its obligations with respect to Letters of Credit and each Letter of Credit shall be issued in accordance with the customary procedures of such L/C Lender. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the failure of any L/C Lender to require an application at any time and from time to time shall not restrict or impair such L/C Lender’s right to require such an application or agreement as a condition to the issuance of any subsequent Letter of Credit. On each day during the period commencing with the issuance by the applicable L/C(c) Lender of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the Revolving Commitment under the applicable Tranche of each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes hereof in an amount equal to such Lender’s R/C Percentage (with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments) of the then Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus the amount of any unreimbursed drawings thereunder. Each Revolving Lender (other than the applicable L/C Lender) under the applicable Tranche severally agrees that, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, it shall automatically acquire from the L/C Lender that issued such Letter of Credit, without recourse, a participation in such L/C Lender’s obligation to fund drawings and rights under such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s R/C Percentage (with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments) of such obligation and rights, and each Revolving Lender (other than such L/C Lender) the
applicable Tranche thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to such L/C Lender to pay and discharge when due, its R/C Percentage (with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments) of such L/C Lender’s obligation to fund drawings under such Letter of Credit. Such L/C Lender shall be deemed to hold an L/C Liability in an amount equal to its retained interest in the related Letter of Credit after giving effect to such acquisition by the Revolving Lenders the applicable Tranche other than such L/C Lender of their participation interests. In the event that any L/C Lender has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of(d) Credit, such L/C Lender shall promptly notify (the “L/C Payment Notice”) Administrative Agent and Borrower of the amount paid by such L/C Lender and the date on which payment is to be made to such beneficiary. Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to pay and reimburse such L/C Lender, through Administrative Agent, for the amount of payment under such Letter of Credit in Dollars, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Revolving Loans under the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments that are maintained as ABR Loans as are in effect from time to time from the date payment was made to such beneficiary to the date on which payment is due, such payment to be made not later than the first Business Day after the date on which Borrower receives the applicable L/C Payment Notice (or the second Business Day thereafter if such L/C Payment Notice is received on a date that is not a Business Day or after 1:00 p.m., New York time, on a Business Day). Any such payment due from Borrower and not paid on the required date shall thereafter bear interest at rates specified in Section 3.02(b) until paid
Promptly upon receipt of the amount paid by Borrower pursuant to the immediately prior sentence, the applicable L/C Lender shall notify Administrative Agent of such payment and whether or not such payment constitutes payment in full of the Reimbursement Obligation under the applicable Letter of Credit. Promptly upon its receipt of a L/C Payment Notice referred to in Section 2.03(d),(e) Borrower shall advise the applicable L/C Lender and Administrative Agent whether or not Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse such L/C Lender for the amount of the related demand for payment under the applicable Letter of Credit and, if it does so intend, submit a -100-
 Notice of Borrowing for such borrowing to Administrative Agent as provided in Section 4.05. In the event that Borrower fails to reimburse any L/C Lender, through Administrative Agent, for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the first Business Day after the date of the applicable L/C Payment Notice (or the second Business Day thereafter if such L/C Payment Notice is received on a date that is not a Business Day or after 1:00 p.m., New York time on a Business Day), such L/C Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of such failure by Borrower to so reimburse and of the amount of the demand for payment. In the event that Borrower fails to either submit a Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent as provided above or reimburse such L/C Lender, through Administrative Agent, for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the first Business Day after the date of the applicable L/C Payment Notice (or the second Business Day thereafter if such L/C Payment Notice is received on a date that is not a Business Day or after 1:00 p.m., New York time, on a Business Day), Administrative Agent shall give each Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche prompt notice of the amount of the demand for payment including the interest therein owed by Borrower (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), specifying such Lender’s R/C Percentage with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments thereof and requesting payment of such amount. Each Revolving Lender (other than the applicable L/C Lender) under the applicable(f) Tranche shall pay to Administrative Agent for account of the applicable L/C Lender at the Principal Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s R/C Percentage with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments of the Unreimbursed Amount upon not less than one Business Day’s actual notice by Administrative Agent as
described in Section 2.03(e) to such Revolving Lender requesting such payment and specifying such amount. Administrative Agent will promptly remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Lender in Dollars. Each such Revolving Lender’s obligation to make such payments to Administrative Agent for the account of L/C Lender under this Section 2.03(f), and the applicable L/C Lender’s right to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including (i) the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make its payment under this Section 2.03(f), (ii) the financial condition of Borrower or the existence of any Default or (iii) the termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to any L/C Lender shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Upon the making of each payment by a Revolving Lender, through Administrative(g) Agent, to an L/C Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(f) in respect of any Letter of Credit, such Revolving Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of Administrative Agent, such L/C Lender or such Revolving Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to such L/C Lender by Borrower hereunder and under the L/C Documents relating to such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation equal to such Revolving Lender’s R/C Percentage with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments in any interest or other amounts (other than cost reimbursements) payable by Borrower hereunder and under such L/C Documents in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation. If any L/C Lender receives directly from or for the account of Borrower any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation or any such interest or other amounts (including by way of setoff or application of proceeds of any collateral security), such L/C Lender shall
promptly pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender under the applicable tranche which has satisfied its obligations under Section 2.03(f), such Revolving Lender’s R/C Percentage with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments of such payment, each such payment by such L/C Lender to be made in Dollars. In the event any payment received by such L/C Lender and so paid to the Revolving Lenders hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by such L/C Lender, each Revolving Lender under the applicable tranche shall, upon the request of such L/C Lender (through Administrative Agent), repay to such L/C Lender (through Administrative Agent) the amount of such payment paid to such Revolving Lender, with interest at the rate specified in Section 2.03(j). -101-
Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender,(h) under the applicable Tranche, in respect of each Letter of Credit and each Tranche of Revolving Commitments for which such Revolving Lender has a L/C Liability, a letter of credit commission equal to (x) the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans of such Tranche made by such Revolving Lender that are Term Benchmark Loans in effect from time to time, multiplied by (y) the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit allocable to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitments of such Tranche for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (i) in the case of a Letter of Credit which expires in accordance with its terms, to and including such expiration date and (ii) in the case of a Letter of Credit which is drawn in full or is otherwise terminated other than on the stated expiration date of such Letter of Credit, to and excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full or is terminated. Such commission will be non-refundable and is to be paid (1) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Date and (2) on each R/C Maturity Date. In addition, Borrower shall pay to each L/C Lender, for such L/C Lender's account a fronting fee (i) with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit, at the rate separately agreed to with such L/C Lender, computed on the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the issuance thereof, (ii) with respect to any amendment of a commercial Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between Borrower and such L/C Lender, computed on the amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment, and (iii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, at the rate equal to 0.125% per annum, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such
fronting fee shall be due and payable on each Quarterly Date in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the latest R/C Maturity Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition Borrower agrees to pay to each L/C Lender all charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged by such L/C Lender, from time to time in like circumstances, with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer, payment of drawings, and other transactions relating thereto. Upon the issuance of or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit, the applicable(i) L/C Lender shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower a written notice of such issuance, amendment or modification and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective amendment or modification thereto, as the case may be. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche a written notice regarding such issuance, amendment or modification, as the case may be, and, if so requested by a Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche, Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Revolving Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment or modification, as the case may be. If and to the extent that any Revolving Lender fails to pay an amount required to be paid(j) by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(f) or 2.03(g) on the due date therefor, such Revolving Lender shall pay to the applicable L/C Lender (through Administrative Agent) interest on such amount with respect to each applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments held by such
Revolving Lender for each day from and including such due date to but excluding the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as in effect from time to time) for the first three days and at the interest rate (in effect from time to time) applicable to Revolving Loans under such Tranche made by such Revolving Lender that are maintained as ABR Loans for each date thereafter. If any Revolving Lender holds Revolving Commitments of more than one Tranche and such Revolving Lender makes a partial payment of amounts due by it under Section 2.03(f) or 2.03(g) with respect to multiple Tranches, such partial payment shall be allocated pro rata to each Tranche based on the amount of Revolving Commitments of each Tranche held by such Revolving Lender. -102-
The issuance by any L/C Lender of any amendment or modification to any Letter of(k) Credit hereunder that would extend the expiry date or increase the Stated Amount thereof shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Section 2.03 to the issuance of new Letters of Credit, and no such amendment or modification shall be issued hereunder (i) unless either (x) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended or modified form or (y) the Required Revolving Lenders (or other specified Revolving Lenders to the extent required by Section 13.04) shall have consented thereto or (ii) if the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed terms of the Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no L/C Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any(l) Letter of Credit if at the time of such issuance, (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Lender shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Lender in good faith deems material to it or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Lender applicable to letters of credit generally. The
obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and any L/C Document to reimburse(m) any L/C Lender for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and to repay any drawing under a Letter of Credit converted into Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each such other L/C Document under all circumstances, including the following: any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Credit Document(i) or any L/C Document; the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrower may have(ii) at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any L/C Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the L/C Documents or any unrelated transaction; any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of(iii) Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit; or any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing; waiver by a L/C Lender of any requirement that exists for the L/C Lender’s(iv) protection and not the protection of Borrower or any waiver by the L/C Lender which does not in fact materially prejudice Borrower; honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of(v) Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft; -103-
 any payment made by a L/C Lender in respect of an otherwise complying item(vi) presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable; any payment by a L/C Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation(vii) of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by a L/C Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any(viii) of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or a Guarantor. To the extent that any provision of any L/C Document is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.03, the provisions of this Section 2.03 shall control. Borrower, Administrative Agent and Revolving Lenders hereby agree that, as of the(n) Closing Date, each letter of credit identified on Schedule 2.03(n) (each, an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall be a Letter of Credit as if originally issued under this Agreement by each relevant L/C Lender as set forth on Schedule 2.03(n), and that the fees and other provisions set forth in this Section 2.03 shall be applicable to each Existing Letter of Credit as of the Closing Date. On the last Business Day of each month, each L/C Lender shall provide to(o) Administrative Agent such information regarding the outstanding Letters of Credit as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Administrative Agent (and in such standard electronic format as Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify), for purposes of Administrative Agent’s ongoing tracking and reporting of outstanding Letters of Credit. Administrative Agent shall maintain a record of all outstanding Letters of Credit based upon information provided by the L/C Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.03(o), and such record of Administrative Agent shall, absent manifest error, be deemed a correct and conclusive record of all Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent Administrative Agent determines that there are one or more discrepancies between information provided by any L/C Lender hereunder, Administrative Agent will notify such L/C Lender thereof and such L/C Lender shall endeavor to reconcile any such discrepancy. In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, with respect to commercial documentary Letters of Credit, on the first Business Day of each week the applicable L/C Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent, by facsimile or electronic mail, a report detailing the daily outstanding commercial documentary Letters of Credit for the previous week for such Letters of Credit. Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit,(p) the L/C Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Lenders, Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approva
of the Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders or the Required Lenders, as -104-
applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Lenders, Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Lenders shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 2.03(m); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may have a claim against a L/C Lender, and a L/C Lender may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to indirect, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Borrower which Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Lender’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or material breach of any Credit Document or such L/C Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit, in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Lenders may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any
notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Lenders shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. The L/C Lenders may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Lender and Borrower when a(q) Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Lenders shall not be responsible to Borrower for, and the L/C Lenders’ rights and remedies against Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the L/C Lenders required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the law or any order of a jurisdiction where such L/C Lender or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of(r) any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, Borrower
shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Borrower, and that Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries. A Revolving Lender may become an additional L/C Lender hereunder with the approval(s) of Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Borrower and such Revolving Lender, pursuant to an agreement with, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, -105-
Administrative Agent, Borrower and such Revolving Lender. Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such additional L/C Lender. Termination and Reductions of Commitment.SECTION 2.04. (a) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this(i) Section 2.04, the aggregate amount of the Term B Facility Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Closing Date (after giving effect to the making of the Term B Facility Loans on such date). In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this(ii) Section 2.04, any outstanding Term A Facility Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of (x) any funding of the Term A Facility Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(b) and (y) solely in the case of such obligations established under the Fourth Amendment, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last Business Day of the Term A Facility Availability Period (whether or not any Term A Loans are incurred on such Business Day). In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this(iii) Section 2.04, the aggregate amount of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments of any Tranche shall be automatically and permanently reduced by the amount of Incremental Term Loans of such Tranche made in respect thereof from time to time. The aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of any Tranche shall be(iv) automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the R/C Maturity Date applicable to such Tranche, and the L/C Commitments and the Swingline Commitment shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the last R/C Maturity Date. In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this(v) Section 2.04, the aggregate amount of the Term B-1 Facility Commitments outstanding on the 2021 Incremental Joinder Agreement Effective Date shall automatically
terminate on the 2021 Incremental Joinder Agreement Effective Date after giving effect to the making of the Term B-1 Facility Loans. Borrower shall have the right at any time or from time to time (without premium or(b) penalty except breakage costs (if any) pursuant to Section 5.05) (i) so long as no Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans or L/C Liabilities will be outstanding under a particular Tranche of Revolving Commitments as of the date specified for termination (after giving effect to all transactions occurring on such date), to terminate the Revolving Commitments under such Tranche in their entirety and (ii) so long as the remaining Revolving Commitments under a particular Tranche of Revolving Commitments will equal or exceed the aggregate amount of outstanding Revolving Loans, Swingline Exposure and L/C Liabilities under such Tranche, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments under such Tranche (which shall be pro rata among the Revolving Lenders of such Tranche); provided, however, that (x) Borrower shall give notice of each such termination or reduction as provided in Section 4.05, and (y) each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $5.0 million (or any whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof) or, if less, the remaining Unutilized R/C Commitments of the applicable Tranche. Any Commitment once terminated or reduced may not be reinstated.(c) -106-
Each reduction or termination of any of the Commitments applicable to any Tranche(d) pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be applied ratably among the Lenders with such a Commitment, as the case may be, in accordance with their respective Commitment, as applicable. Fees.SECTION 2.05. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender(a) (other than a Defaulting Lender), with respect to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitments of each Tranche, a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date (or, following the conversion of such Revolving Commitment into another Tranche, the applicable Extension Date) to but not including the earlier of (i) the date such Revolving Commitment is terminated or expires (or is modified to constitute another Tranche) and (ii) the R/C Maturity Date applicable to such Revolving Commitment, in each case, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Fee Percentage in respect of such Tranche in effect from time to time during such period on the actual daily amount of such Revolving Lender’s Unutilized R/C Commitment in respect of such Tranche. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the definition of “Unutilized R/C Commitments,” for purposes of determining Unutilized R/C Commitments of a Tranche in connection with computing commitment fees with respect to Revolving Commitments, a Revolving Commitment of a Tranche of a Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Tranche and L/C Liability of such Tranche of such Revolving Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Tranche of such Revolving Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose). Any accrued commitment fee under this Section 2.05(a) in respect of any Revolving Commitment shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the earlier of (i) the date such Revolving Commitment is terminated
or expires (or is modified to constitute another Tranche) and (ii) the R/C Maturity Date applicable to such Revolving Commitment. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for its own account the administrative fee(b) separately agreed to. At the time of the effectiveness of a Repricing Transaction prior to the date that is six (6)(c) months after the Closing Date, Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender with outstanding Term B Facility Loans (including each Lender that withholds its consent to such Repricing Transaction and is replaced or is removed as a Lender or is repaid under Section 2.11 or 13.04(b), as the case may be), a fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of Term B Facility Loans that are refinanced, converted, replaced, amended, modified or otherwise repriced in such Repricing Transaction. Such fee shall be due and payable upon the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction. At the time of the effectiveness of a Term B-1 Facility Repricing Transaction prior to the(d) date that is six (6) months after the 2021 Incremental Joinder Agreement Effective Date, Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Term B-1 Facility Lender with outstanding Term B-1 Facility Loans (including each Term B-1 Facility Lender that withholds its consent to such Term B-1 Facility Repricing Transaction and is replaced or is removed as a Lender or is repaid under Section 2.11 or 13.04(b), as the case may be), a fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of Term B-1 Facility Loans that are refinanced, converted, replaced, amended, modified or otherwise repriced in such Term B-1 Facility Repricing Transaction. Such fee shall be due and payable upon the date of the effectiveness of such Term B-1 Facility Repricing Transaction. Borrower shall pay to Auction Manager for its own account, in connection with any(e) Borrower
Loan Purchase, such fees as may be agreed between Borrower and Auction Manager. -107-
In the case of any Term A Facility Commitments established under the Fourth(f) Amendment, on the date of Borrowing under the Term A Facility Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Term A Facility Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), with respect to such Term A Facility Lender’s Term A Facility Commitment, a commitment fee for the period from and including the date that is sixty (60) days after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date to but not including the date of such Borrowing, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Fee Percentage in respect of the Term A Facility in effect from time to time during such period on the actual daily amount of such Term A Facility Lender’s Unutilized Term A Facility Commitment. The commitment fee under this Section 2.05(f) in respect of any Term A Facility Commitment shall be payable on the date of, and only in the case of, any Borrowing under the Term A Facility established under the Fourth Amendment. Lending Offices. The Loans of each Type made by each Lender shall beSECTION 2.06. made and maintained at such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type. Several Obligations of Lenders. The failure of any Lender to make anySECTION 2.07. Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on such date, but neither any Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender, and no Lender shall have any obligation to Administrative Agent or any other Lender for the failure by such Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such Lender. No Revolving Lender will be responsible for failure of any other Lender to fund its participation in Letters of Credit. Notes; Register.SECTION 2.08. At the request of any Lender, its Loans of a particular Class shall be evidenced by a(a)
promissory note, payable to such Lender or its registered assigns and otherwise duly completed, substantially in the form of Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3 and A-4 of such Lender’s Revolving Loans, Term B Facility Loans, Swingline Loans and Term B-1 Facility Loans, respectively; provided that any promissory notes issued in respect of New Term Loans, Other Term Loans, Extended Term Loans or New Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Loans shall be in such form as mutually agreed by Borrower and Administrative Agent. The date, amount, Type, interest rate and duration of the Interest Period (if applicable) of(b) each Loan of each Class made by each Lender to Borrower and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender (or its nominee) on its books and, prior to any transfer of any Note evidencing the Loans of such Class held by it, endorsed by such Lender (or its nominee) on the schedule attached to such Note or any continuation thereof; provided, however, that the failure of such Lender (or its nominee) to make any such recordation or endorsement or any error in such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount owing hereunder or under such Note. Borrower hereby designates Administrative Agent to serve as its nonfiduciary agent,(c) solely for purposes of this Section 2.08, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the name and address of each Lender, the Commitment from time to time of each of the Lenders, the principal amount of the Loans made by each of the Lenders (and the related interest thereon) and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation or any error in such recordation shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. The entries in the Register shall be prima facie evidence of the
information noted therein (absent manifest error), and the parties hereto shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of the Credit Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by -108-
Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective unless recorded in the Register; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall record in the Register any assignment entered into pursuant to the terms hereof promptly after the effectiveness of such assignment. Optional Prepayments and Conversions or Continuations of Loans.SECTION 2.09. Subject to Section 4.04, Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans (without premium(a) or penalty, except as provided in Section 2.09(c) and Section 2.09(d)) of a Tranche, or to convert Loans of a Tranche of one Type into Loans of such Tranche of another Type or to continue Loans of a Tranche of one Type as Loans of such Tranche of the same Type, at any time or from time to time. Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of each such prepayment, conversion or continuation as provided in Section 4.05 (and, upon the date specified in any such notice of prepayment, the amount to be prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder; provided that Borrower may make any such notice conditional upon the occurrence of a Person’s acquisition or sale or any incurrence of indebtedness or issuance of Equity Interests). Each Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C. If LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans are prepaid or converted other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, Borrower shall at such time pay all expenses and costs required by Section 5.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the rights and remedies of the Lenders under Article XI, in the event that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent may (and, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall), upon written notice to Borrower, have the right to suspend the right of Borrower to convert any Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Term Benchmark Loan, or to
continue any Loan as a LIBOR Loan or Term Benchmark Loan, in which event all Loans shall be converted (on the last day(s) of the respective Interest Periods therefor) or continued, as the case may be, as ABR Loans. Swingline Loans may not be converted or continued. Application.(b) The amount of any optional prepayments described in Section 2.09(a) shall be(i) applied to prepay Loans outstanding in order of amortization, in amounts and to Tranches, all as determined by Borrower. In addition to the foregoing, and provided that the Consolidated Total Net(ii) Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00, Borrower shall have the right to elect to offer to prepay the Term Loans at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof on a pro rata basis to the Term Loans (other than the Term A Facility Loans) then outstanding and apply any amounts rejected for such prepayment to repurchase, prepay, redeem, retire, acquire, defease or cancel Indebtedness or to make Restricted Payments notwithstanding any then applicable limitations set forth in Section 10.06 or 10.09, respectively. If Borrower makes such an election, it shall provide notice thereof to Administrative Agent, who shall promptly, and in any event within one Business Day of receipt, provide such notice to the holders of the Term Loans (other than the Term A Facility Loans). Any such notice shall specify the aggregate amount offered to prepay the Term Loans (other than the Term A Facility Loans). Each holder of a Term Loan (other than the Term A Facility Loans) may elect, in its sole discretion, to reject such prepayment offer with respect to an amount equal to or less than (v) with respect to holders of Term B Facility Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay Term B Facility Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Term B Facility Loans owed to such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of Term B
Facility Loans outstanding, (w) with respect to holders of Term B-1 Facility Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay Term B-1 Facility Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Term B-1 Facility Loans owed to -109-
such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of Term B Facility Loans outstanding, (x) with respect to holders of New Term Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay New Term Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of New Term Loans owed to such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of New Term Loans outstanding, (y) with respect to holders of Other Term Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay Other Term Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Other Term Loans owed to such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of Other Term Loans outstanding and (z) with respect to holders of Extended Term Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay Extended Term Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Extended Term Loans owed to such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of Extended Term Loans outstanding. Any rejection of such offer must be evidenced by written notice delivered to Administrative Agent within five Business Days of receipt of the offer for prepayment, specifying an amount of such prepayment offer rejected by such holder, if any. Failure to give such notice will constitute an election to accept such offer. Any portion of such prepayment offer so accepted will be used to prepay the Term Loans (other than the Term A Facility Loans) held by the applicable holders within ten Business Days of the date of receipt of the offer to prepay. Any portion of such prepayment rejected may be used by Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries to repurchase, prepay, redeem, retire, acquire, defease or cancel Indebtedness or to make Restricted Payments notwithstanding any then applicable limitations set forth in Section 10.06 or 10.09, respectively. Any prepayment of Term B Facility
Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09 or Section(c) 13.04(b) made prior to the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date in connection with any Repricing Transaction shall be subject to the fee described in Section 2.05(c). Any prepayment of Term B-1 Facility Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09 or Section(d) 13.04(b) made prior to the date that is six (6) months after the 2021 Incremental Joinder Agreement Effective Date in connection with any Term B-1 Facility Repricing Transaction shall be subject to the fee described in Section 2.05(d). Mandatory Prepayments.SECTION 2.10. Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans as follows (each such prepayment to be effected(a) in each case in the manner, order and to the extent specified in Section 2.10(b) below): Casualty Events. Within five (5) Business Days after Borrower or any(i) Restricted Subsidiary receives any Net Available Proceeds from any Casualty Event or any disposition pursuant to Section 10.05(l) (or notice of collection by Administrative Agent of the same), in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such Net Available Proceeds (it being understood that applications pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(i) shall not be duplicative of Section 2.10(a)(iii) below); provided, however, that: (x) if no Event of Default then exists or would arise therefrom, the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that Borrower delivers an Officer’s Certificate to Administrative Agent stating that an amount equal to such proceeds is intended to be used to fund the acquisition of Property (which may be pursuant to an acquisition of Equity Interests of a Person that directly or indirectly owns such assets) used or usable in the business of (A) if such Casualty Event relates to any Credit Party, any Credit Party or (B) if such Casualty Event relates to any other Company, any Company, or repair, replace or restore the Property or -110-
other Property used or usable in the business of (A) if such Casualty Event relates to any Credit Party, any Credit Party or (B) if such Casualty Event relates to any other Company, any Company (in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Security Document in respect of which such Casualty Event has occurred, to the extent applicable and, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Property is subject to a Gaming/Racing Lease, may be applied in accordance with the provisions of such Gaming/Racing Lease (it being understood that such Property so repaired, replaced, restored or otherwise acquired may be owned by the Landlord under such Gaming/Racing Lease and leased to Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary under such Gaming/Racing Lease), in each case within (A) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds or (B) if Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Available Proceeds within twelve (12) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (1) one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date of such legally binding commitment and (2) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds (provided that Borrower may elect to deem expenditures that otherwise would be permissible reinvestments that occur prior to receipt of the proceeds of a Casualty Event to have been reinvested in accordance with the provisions hereof, so long as such deemed expenditure shall have been made no earlier than the applicable Casualty Event), and (y) if all or any portion of such Net Available Proceeds not required to be applied to the prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(i) is not so used within the period specified by clause (x) above, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as specified in Section 2.10(b). Debt Issuance. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Borrower or any(ii) of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of any Net Applicable Proceeds from any Debt Issuance (including, for purposes of this Section 2.10(a)(ii), Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness) on or after the Closing Date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds of such Debt Issuance; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.10(a) or (b) regarding the application of mandatory prepayments, the Net Available Proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied to the repayment of the applicable Refinanced Debt. Asset Sales. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Borrower or any of(iii) its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Net Available Proceeds from any Asset Sale pursuant to Section 10.05(c), in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds from such Asset Sale or other disposition (it being understood that applications pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall not be duplicative of Section 2.10(a)(i) above); provided, however, that: (x) an amount equal to the Net Available Proceeds from any Asset Sale pursuant to Section 10.05(c) shall not be required to be applied as provided above on such date if (1) no Event of Default then exists or would arise therefrom and (2) Borrower delivers an Officer’s Certificate to Administrative Agent stating that an amount equal to such Net Available Proceeds is intended to be reinvested, directly or indirectly, in assets (which may be pursuant to an acquisition of Equity Interests of a Person that directly or indirectly owns such assets) otherwise permitted under this Agreement of (A) if such Asset Sale was effected by any Credit Party, any Credit Party, and (B) if such Asset Sale was effected by any other Company, any Company, in each case within (x) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds or -111-
(y) if Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Available Proceeds within twelve (12) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (A) one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date of such legally binding commitment and (B) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended) (provided that Borrower may elect to deem expenditures that otherwise would be permissible reinvestments that occur prior to receipt of the proceeds of an Asset Sale to have been reinvested in accordance with the provisions hereof, so long as such deemed expenditure shall have been made no earlier than the earlier of execution of a definitive agreement for such Asset Sale and the consummation of such Asset Sale); and (y) if all or any portion of such Net Available Proceeds is not reinvested in assets in accordance with the Officer’s Certificate referred to in clause (x) above within the period specified by clause (x) above, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as specified in Section 2.10(b). Excess Cash Flow. For each fiscal year (commencing with the fiscal year(iv) ending December 31, 2018), not later than five (5) Business Days after the date on which the financial statements of Borrower referred to in Section 9.04(b) for such fiscal year are required to be delivered to Administrative Agent, Borrower shall prepay, in accordance with subsection (b) below, the principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to (x) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year, minus (y) the principal amount of (i) Term Loans voluntarily prepaid or repurchased pursuant to Section 2.09, 2.11, 13.04(b), 13.05(d) (limited to the amount of cash actually paid) and 13.05(k) during such fiscal year (or, at Borrower’s election, after such fiscal year and prior to the date the
applicable Excess Cash Flow prepayment is due (without duplication of amounts deducted from Excess Cash Flow in any other period)) plus (ii) Revolving Loans voluntarily prepaid or repurchased pursuant to Section 2.09, 2.11, 13.04(b), 13.04(h), 13.05(d) (limited to the amount of cash actually paid) and 13.05(k) to the extent accompanied by an equivalent permanent reduction of the Total Revolving Commitments during such fiscal year (or, at Borrower’s election, after such fiscal year and prior to the date the applicable Excess Cash Flow prepayment is due (without duplication of amounts deducted from Excess Cash Flow in any other period)), plus (iii) Other First Lien Indebtedness voluntarily prepaid or repurchased (and, to the extent consisting of revolving loans, so long as accompanied by a permanent reduction of the underlying commitments) during such fiscal year (or, at Borrower’s election, after such period and prior to the date the applicable Excess Cash Flow prepayment is due (without duplication of amounts deducted from Excess Cash Flow in any other period)), in each case, except to the extent financed with the proceeds of Indebtedness (other than revolving Indebtedness) of Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries. [reserved].(v) Prepayments Not Required. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this(vi) Section 2.10(a), to the extent that any of or all the Net Available Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Casualty Event with respect to any property or assets of Foreign Subsidiaries or any Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries, are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, an amount equal to the portion of such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.10(a) so long as applicable local law does not permit repatriation to the United States (Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the
applicable -112-
Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, (x) an amount equal to such Net Available Proceeds shall promptly be reinvested pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i) or (iii), as applicable, or applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b), and (y) an amount equal to such Excess Cash Flow shall promptly be applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b). To the extent Borrower determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Available Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Casualty Event with respect to any property or assets of Foreign Subsidiaries or any Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries would result in a material (as determined by Borrower in its reasonable discretion) adverse Tax liability to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including any material (as determined by Borrower in its reasonable discretion) adverse withholding Tax), the applicable mandatory prepayment shall be reduced by the Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected (the “Restricted Amount”) until such time as Borrower determines in good faith that repatriation of the Restricted Amount may occur without incurring such material Tax liability, at which time, (x) an amount equal to any such Net Available Proceeds shall be reinvested pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i) or (iii), as applicable, or applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b) within five (5) Business Days of such repatriation, and (y) an amount equal to any such Excess Cash Flow shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b) within five (5) Business Days of such repatriation. Prepayments of Other First Lien Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the(vii) foregoing provisions of Section 2.10(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or otherwise, any Net Available Proceeds from any such Casualty Event, Debt Issuance or Asset Sale
and any such Excess Cash Flow otherwise required to be applied to prepay the Term Loans may, at Borrower’s option, be applied to prepay the principal amount of Other First Lien Indebtedness only to (and not in excess of) the extent to which a mandatory prepayment in respect of such Casualty Event, Debt Issuance, Asset Sale or Excess Cash Flow is required under the terms of such Other First Lien Indebtedness (with any remaining Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, applied to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof), unless such application would result in the holders of Other First Lien Indebtedness receiving in excess of their pro rata share (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and Other First Lien Indebtedness at such time) of such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, relative to Lenders, in which case such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, may only be applied to prepay the principal amount of Other First Lien Indebtedness on a pro rata basis with outstanding Term Loans. To the extent the holders of Other First Lien Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased, repaid or prepaid with any such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, the declined amount of such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, shall promptly (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof (to the extent such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, would otherwise have been required to be applied if such Other First Lien Indebtedness was not then outstanding). Any such application to Other First Lien Indebtedness shall reduce any prepayments otherwise required hereunder by an equivalent amount. Application. The amount of any mandatory
prepayments described in Section 2.10(a)(b) shall be applied to prepay Term Loans as follows: First, to the outstanding Term Loans in order of amortization, in amounts and to(i) Tranches, all as directed by Borrower; provided that mandatory prepayments may not be -113-
 directed to a later maturing Class of Term Loans without at least pro rata repayment of any related earlier maturing Class of Term Loans; and Second, after application of prepayments in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii)(ii) above, Borrower shall be permitted to retain any such remaining excess; provided, that the Net Available Proceeds of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied to the applicable Refinanced Debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender holding Term Loans may elect, by written notice to Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Term Loans, pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(i), (iii) or (iv), and any such declined amounts shall be retained by Borrower (any such retained amounts, “Declined Amounts”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Term Loans of a Tranche required under this Section 2.10 shall be in excess of the amount of the ABR Loans at the time outstanding, only the portion of the amount of such prepayment as is equal to the amount of such outstanding ABR Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of Borrower, the balance of such required prepayment shall be either (i) deposited in the Collateral Account and applied to the prepayment of LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans of such Tranche, as applicable, on the last day of the then next-expiring Interest Period for LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans of such Tranche, as applicable (with all interest accruing thereon for the account of Borrower), or (ii) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 5.05. Notwithstanding any such deposit in the Collateral Account, interest shall continue to accrue on such Loans until prepayment. Revolving Credit Extension Reductions. Until the final R/C Maturity Date, Borrower(c) shall from time to time immediately prepay the
Revolving Loans (and/or provide Cash Collateral in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount for, or otherwise backstop (with a letter of credit on customary terms reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Lender and Administrative Agent), outstanding L/C Liabilities) in such amounts as shall be necessary so that at all times (a) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans, plus, the aggregate outstanding L/C Liabilities shall not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments as in effect at such time and (b) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans of any Tranche and Swingline Loans allocable to such Tranche, plus the aggregate outstanding L/C Liabilities under such Tranche shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Tranche as in effect at such time. Prepayment of Term B Facility Loans and Term B-1 Facility Loans. Any(d) prepayment of Term B Facility Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) made prior to the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date in connection with any Repricing Transaction shall be subject to the fee described in Section 2.05(c). Any prepayment of Term B-1 Facility Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) made prior to the date that is six (6) months after the 2021 Incremental Joinder Agreement Effective Date in connection with any Term B-1 Facility Repricing Transaction shall be subject to the fee described in Section 2.05(d). Outstanding Letters of Credit. If any Letter of Credit is outstanding on the 30th day(e) prior to the R/C Maturity Date for the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments which has an expiry date later than the fifth Business Day preceding such R/C Maturity Date (or which, pursuant to its terms, may be extended to a date later than the fifth Business Day preceding such R/C Maturity Date), then (i) if one or more Tranches of Revolving Commitments with a R/C Maturity Date after such R/C Maturity Date are then in
effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders with Revolving Commitments to purchase -114-
 participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof and the commissions applicable thereto), effective as of such R/C Maturity Date, solely under (and ratably participated by Revolving Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Commitments in respect of such non-terminating Tranches of Revolving Commitments designated by Borrower in writing to Administrative Agent, if any, up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Commitments under such Tranche at such time, and (ii) to the extent not capable of being reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, Borrower shall, on such 30th day (or on such later day as such Letters of Credit become incapable of being reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above due to the termination, reduction or utilization of any relevant Revolving Commitments), either (x) Cash Collateralize all such Letters of Credit in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect to such Letters of Credit (it being understood that such Cash Collateral shall be released to the extent that the aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit is reduced upon the expiration or termination of such Letters of Credit, so that the Cash Collateral shall not exceed the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect to such Letters of Credit outstanding at any particular time) or (y) deliver to the applicable L/C Lender a standby letter of credit (other than a Letter of Credit) in favor of such L/C Lender in a stated amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect to such Letters of Credit, which standby letter of credit shall be in form and substance, and issued by a financially sound financial institution, reasonably acceptable to such L/C Lender and Administrative Agent. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) above, the occurrence of a R/C Maturity Date shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the
percentage participations of the Revolving Lenders of the relevant Tranche in any Letter of Credit issued before such R/C Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that upon the occurrence of any reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) above and, if necessary, the taking of the actions in described clause (ii) above, all participations in Letters of Credit under the terminated Revolving Commitments shall terminate. Replacement of Lenders.SECTION 2.11. Borrower shall have the right to replace any Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one(a) or more other Eligible Assignees (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”), if (x) such Lender is charging Borrower increased costs pursuant to Section 5.01 or requires Borrower to pay any Covered Taxes or additional amounts to such Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender pursuant to Section 5.06 or such Lender becomes incapable of making LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans, as applicable, as provided in Section 5.02 or Section 5.07, as applicable, when other Lenders are generally able to do so, (y) such Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (z) such Lender is subject to a Disqualification; provided, however, that (i) at the time of any such replacement, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements (and with all fees payable pursuant to Section 13.05(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender or Borrower) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and in each case L/C Interests of, the Replaced Lender (or if the Replaced Lender is being replaced as a result of being a Defaulting Lender, then the Replacement Lender shall acquire all Revolving Commitments, Revolving Loans and L/C Interests of such Replaced Lender under one or more Tranches of Revolving Commitments or, at the option of Borrower and such Replacement Lender, all other Loans and
Commitments held by such Defaulting Lender), (ii) at the time of any such replacement, the Replaced Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Lender (other than any Loans not being acquired by a Replacement Lender), (B) all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, in the event Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments owing to such Lender are being repaid and terminated or acquired, as the case may be, and (C) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Lender pursuant to Section 2.05 with respect to the Loans being assigned, as the case may be and (iii) all obligations of Borrower owing to such Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause -115-
(i) above in respect of Replaced Lenders for which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, and other than those relating to Loans or Commitments not being acquired by a Replacement Lender, but including any amounts which would be paid to a Lender pursuant to Section 5.05 if Borrower were prepaying a LIBOR Loan or Term Benchmark Loan, as applicable), as applicable, shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender, as applicable, concurrently with such replacement, as the case may be. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, as applicable, and the receipt of any consents that would be required for an assignment of the subject Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 13.05, the Replacement Lender, if any, shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender, as applicable, shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder and be released of all its obligations as a Lender, except with respect to indemnification provisions applicable to such Lender under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Lender and, in the case of any Replaced Lender, except with respect to Loans, Commitments and L/C Interests of such Replaced Lender not being acquired by the Replacement Lender; provided, that if the applicable Replaced Lender does not execute the Assignment Agreement within one (1) Business Day (or such shorter period as is acceptable to Administrative Agent) after Borrower’s request, execution of such Assignment Agreement by the Replaced Lender shall not be required to effect such assignment. If Borrower receives a notice from any applicable Gaming/Racing Authority or otherwise(b) reasonably determines that any Lender is subject to a Disqualification (and such Lender is notified by Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of such Disqualification), Borrower shall have the
right to replace such Lender with a Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 2.11(a) or prepay the Loans held by such Lender, in each case, in accordance with any applicable provisions of Section 2.11(a), even if a Default or an Event of Default exists (notwithstanding anything contained in such Section 2.11(a) to the contrary). Any such prepayment shall be deemed an optional prepayment, as set forth in Section 2.09 and shall not be required to be made on a pro rata basis with respect to Loans of the same Tranche as the Loans held by such Lender (and in any event shall not be deemed to be a Repricing Transaction). Notice to such Lender shall be given at least ten (10) days before the required date of transfer or prepayment (unless a shorter period is required by any Requirement of Law and/or any Gaming/Racing License), as the case may be, and shall be accompanied by evidence demonstrating that such Lender is subject to a Disqualification or such transfer or redemption is otherwise required pursuant to Gaming/Racing Laws and/or any Gaming/Racing License. Upon receipt of a notice in accordance with the foregoing, the Replaced Lender shall cooperate with Borrower in effectuating the required transfer or prepayment within the time period set forth in such notice, not to be less than the minimum notice period set forth in the foregoing sentence (unless a shorter period is required under any Requirement of Law and/or any Gaming/Racing License). Further, if the transfer or prepayment is triggered by notice from the Gaming/Racing Authority that the Lender is subject to a Disqualification, commencing on the date the Gaming/Racing Authority serves the notice of Disqualification upon Borrower, to the extent prohibited by any Requirement of Law and/or by any Gaming/Racing License: (i) such Lender shall no longer receive any interest on the Loans; (ii) such Lender shall no longer exercise, directly or through any trustee or nominee, any right
conferred by the Loans; and (iii) such Lender shall not receive any remuneration in any form from Borrower for services or otherwise in respect of the Loans. Incremental Loan Commitments.SECTION 2.12. Borrower Request. Borrower may, at any time, by written notice to Administrative(a) Agent, request (i) the establishment of one or more new Tranches of Revolving Commitments (“New Revolving Commitments” and the related Revolving Loans, “New Revolving Loans”), (ii) an increase to any then-existing Tranche of Revolving Commitments (“Incremental Revolving Commitments”), (iii) the establishment of additional Term A Facility Loans with terms and conditions identical to the terms and conditions of existing Term A Facility Loans hereunder (“Incremental Term A Loans” and the -116-
related commitments, “Incremental Term A Loan Commitments”), (iv) the establishment of additional Term B Facility Loans with terms and conditions identical to the terms and conditions of existing Term B Facility Loans hereunder (“Incremental Term B Loans” and the related commitments, “Incremental Term B Loan Commitments”), (v) the establishment of additional Term B-1 Facility Loans with terms and conditions identical to the terms and conditions of the existing Term B-1 Facility Loans hereunder (“Incremental Term B-1 Loans” and the related commitments, “Incremental Term B-1 Loan Commitments”) and/or (vi) the establishment of one or more new Tranches of term loans (“New Term Loans” and the related commitments, “New Term Loan Commitments”); provided, however, that (x) subject to Section 1.07, the aggregate amount of New Revolving Commitments, Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments, New Term Loans, Incremental Term A Loans, Incremental Term B Loans and Incremental Term B-1 Loans incurred on such date shall not exceed the Incremental Loan Amount as of such date and (y) any such request for Incremental Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of $25.0 million and integral multiples of $1.0 million above such amount. Borrower may request Incremental Commitments from existing Lenders and from Eligible Assignees; provided, however, that (A) any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide all or any portion of such Incremental Commitments offered to it and (B) any potential Lender that is not an existing Lender and agrees to make available an Incremental Commitment shall be required to be an Eligible Assignee and shall require approval by Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Incremental Effective Date. The Incremental Commitments shall
be effected by a(b) joinder agreement to this Agreement (the “Incremental Joinder Agreement”) executed by Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender making or providing such Incremental Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them, subject, however, to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 2.12. The Incremental Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.12. Administrative Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (each, an “Incremental Effective Date”) of any Incremental Commitments and the final allocation of such Incremental Commitments. The effectiveness of any such Incremental Commitments shall be subject solely to the satisfaction of the following conditions to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent, in each case, subject to Section 1.07: Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other(i) customary closing documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such Incremental Commitments; an Incremental Joinder Agreement shall have been duly executed and delivered(ii) by Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender making or providing such Incremental Commitment; no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist(iii) immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments; the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Credit(iv) Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Incremental Effective Date as if made on and as of such date (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been
true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); provided that, -117-
any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects on such dates; [reserved];(v) [reserved];(vi) without the written consent of the Required Tranche Lenders with respect to(vii) any Tranches of then-existing Revolving Commitments that have a maturity date after the proposed maturity date of any New Revolving Commitments, the final stated maturity of any New Revolving Commitments shall not be earlier than the then-existing latest R/C Maturity Date with respect to the then-existing Tranches of Revolving Commitments; other than customary “bridge” facilities (so long as the long term debt into(viii) which any such customary “bridge” facility is to be automatically converted or may be converted at Borrower’s option on customary terms satisfies the requirements of this clause (viii)) (as designated by Borrower in its sole discretion), (x) without the written consent of the Required Tranche Lenders with respect to any Tranches of then-existing Term Loans that have a maturity date after the proposed maturity date of any such other New Term Loans, the final stated maturity of any New Term Loans shall not be earlier than the then-existing Final Maturity Date with respect to any then-existing Tranche of Term Loans, and (y) without the written consent of the Required Tranche Lenders with respect to any Tranches of then-existing Term Loans that have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is longer than the proposed Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any such other New Term Loans, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any New Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then-existing Tranche of Term Loans (without giving effect to the effect of prepayments made under any existing Tranche of Term Loans on amortization); it being understood that, subject to the foregoing, the amortization schedule
applicable to such New Term Loans shall be determined by Borrower and the lenders of such New Term Loans and set forth in the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement; the yields benchmark interest rate indices and interest rate margins and, except(ix) as set forth in clause (viii) of this Section 2.12(b), amortization schedule, applicable to any New Revolving Commitments and New Term Loans shall be as determined by Borrower and the holders of such Indebtedness; except as set forth in Section 2.12(a) and in clauses (i) – (ix) of this Section(x) 2.12(b), the terms (excluding maturity, amortization, pricing (including any “MFN” provisions), fees, rate floors, premiums, optional prepayment or optional redemption provisions) of any New Revolving Commitments or New Term Loans shall be (as determined by Borrower in good faith) substantially similar to the terms of the Term B Facility Loans and the Term B-1 Facility Loans as existing on the date of incurrence of such New Revolving Commitments or New Term Loans except, to the extent such terms (x) at the option of Borrower (1) reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or issuance (as determined by Borrower in good faith); provided that, if any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any New Term Loans or New Revolving Commitments that is more restrictive than the financial maintenance covenants than applicable to the Covenant Facilities hereunder, such financial maintenance covenant (together with any “equity cure” provisions) shall also be applicable to each Covenant Facility (except to the extent such financial maintenance covenant applies only to periods after the maturity date applicable to such Covenant Facility, as applicable) or (2) are not materially more restrictive to Borrower (as determined by Borrower in good faith), when -118-
taken as a whole, than the terms of the Term A Facility Loans, the Term B Facility Loans, the Term B-1 Facility Loans or the Closing Date Revolving Commitments, as the case may be (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Final Maturity Date applicable to such Term A Facility Loans, Term B Facility Loans or such Term B-1 Facility Loans (in the case of term Indebtedness), as applicable, or the latest R/C Maturity Date applicable to the Closing Date Revolving Commitments (in the case of revolving Indebtedness) (it being understood that any New Revolving Commitments or New Term Loans may provide for the ability to participate (i) with respect to any borrowings, voluntary prepayments or voluntary commitment reductions, on a pro rata basis, greater than pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis with the applicable Loans or facility and (ii) with respect to any mandatory prepayments, on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis with the applicable Loans (and on a greater than pro rata basis with respect to prepayments of any such New Revolving Commitments or New Term Loans with the proceeds of permitted refinancing Indebtedness), (y) are (1) added to the Term A Facility Loans, the Term B Facility Loans and the Term B-1 Facility Loans (in the case of term Indebtedness) and the Closing Date Revolving Commitments (in the case of revolving Indebtedness), (2) to the extent not so added to any such Loans or Commitments, applicable only after the Final Maturity Date applicable to such Term A Facility Loans, Term B Facility Loans or Term B-1 Facility Loans (in the case of term Indebtedness), as applicable, or the latest R/C Maturity Date applicable to the Closing Date Revolving Commitments (in the case of revolving Indebtedness) or (3) otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent (it being understood that to the extent any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any such
New Term Loans that is more restrictive than the financial maintenance covenants then applicable to the Covenant Facilities hereunder, no consent shall be required from Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant (together with any related “equity cure” provisions) is also added for the benefit of each Covenant Facility (except to the extent such financial maintenance covenant applies only to periods after the maturity date applicable to such Covenant Facility)) or (z) are substantially similar to the terms of any other then-existing Tranche of Term Loans hereunder; provided, however, that the conditions applicable to the incurrence of such New Term Loans (and the corresponding Incremental Term Loan Commitments) shall be as provided in this Section 2.12; provided, further, that the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement shall make appropriate adjustments to Section 3.01 to address such New Term Loans, as applicable, including such adjustments as are necessary to provide for the “fungibility” of such New Term Loans with any applicable existing Tranche of Term Loans (in the case of term Indebtedness) or the latest R/C Maturity Date (in the case of revolving Indebtedness); any Incremental Term A Loans (and the corresponding Incremental Term A(xi) Loan Commitments) shall have terms substantially identical to the terms of the existing Term Loans (and the existing Term Loan Commitments) of the relevant Tranche hereunder; provided, however, that upfront fees or original issue discount may be paid to Lenders providing such Incremental Term A Loans as agreed by such Lenders and Borrower, and the conditions applicable to the incurrence of such Incremental Term A Loans (and the corresponding Incremental Term A Loan Commitments) shall be as provided in this Section 2.12; provided, further, that the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement shall make appropriate adjustments to
Section 3.01(b) to address such Incremental Term A Loans, including such adjustments as are necessary to provide for the “fungibility” of such Incremental Term A Loans with the existing Term A Facility Loans; any Incremental Term B Loans or Incremental Term B-1 Loans (and the(xii) corresponding Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Term B-1 Loan Commitments, as applicable) shall have terms substantially identical to the terms of the existing -119-
 Term Loans (and the existing Term Loan Commitments) of the relevant Tranche hereunder; provided, however, that upfront fees or original issue discount may be paid to Lenders providing such Incremental Term B Loans or Incremental Term B-1 Loans, as applicable, as agreed by such Lenders and Borrower, and the conditions applicable to the incurrence of such Incremental Term B Loans or Incremental Term B-1 Loans, as applicable, (and the corresponding Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Term B-1 Loan Commitments, as applicable) shall be as provided in this Section 2.12; provided, further, that the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement shall make appropriate adjustments to Section 3.01(c) to address such Incremental Term B Loans or Incremental Term B-1 Loans, as applicable, including such adjustments as are necessary to provide for the “fungibility” of such Incremental Term B Loans or Incremental Term B-1 Loans, as applicable, with the existing Term B Facility Loans or the existing Term B-1 Facility Loans, as applicable; and any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall have terms substantially(xiii) identical to the terms of the existing Revolving Commitments of the relevant Tranche hereunder; provided, however, that upfront fees may be paid to Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitments as agreed by such Lenders and Borrower, and the conditions applicable to the incurrence of such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be as provided in this Section 2.12. Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.12, any Person providing an Incremental Commitment that was not a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such time shall become a Lender hereunder. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments, and (i) in the case of Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Total Revolving
Commitments under, and for all purpose of this Agreement, shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Incremental Revolving Commitments, (ii) any New Revolving Loans shall be deemed to be additional Revolving Loans hereunder, (iii) any Revolving Loans made under Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to be Revolving Loans of the relevant Tranche hereunder, (iv) any Incremental Term A Loans (to the extent funded) shall be deemed to be Term A Facility Loans hereunder, (v) any Incremental Term B Loans or Incremental Term B-1 Loans (to the extent funded) shall be deemed to be Term B Facility Loans or Term B-1 Facility Loans, as applicable, hereunder and (vi) any New Term Loans shall be deemed to be additional Term Loans hereunder (it being understood that if so determined by the Borrower, New Term Loans may be incurred as an increase to any then-existing Tranche of Term Loans). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent may (and each of Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent are authorized by each other Secured Party to) execute such amendments and/or amendments and restatements of any Credit Documents as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.12. Such amendments may include provisions allowing any Incremental Term A Loans, Incremental Term B Loans, Incremental Term B-1 Loans or New Term Loans to be treated on the same basis as any other applicable Tranche of Term A Facility Loans, Term B Facility Loans or Term B-1 Facility Loans in connection with declining prepayments. In connection with the incurrence of any Incremental Term A Loans, Incremental Term B Loans or Incremental Term B-1 Loans or incurrence of New Term Loans that increase a then-existing Tranche of Term Loans, Borrower shall be permitted to terminate any Interest Period applicable to the applicable
Tranche being increased on the date such Incremental Term A Loans, Incremental Term B Loans, Incremental Term B-1 Loans or New Term Loans are incurred. In connection with the incurrence of any Incremental Revolving Commitments and related Revolving Loans, Borrower shall be permitted to terminate any Interest Period applicable to Revolving Loans under the applicable existing Tranche of Revolving Commitments on the date such Revolving Loans are first incurred under such Incremental Revolving Commitments. -120-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12 or this Agreement, if the proceeds of any Incremental Commitments are being used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction or similar Investment permitted hereunder and the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Commitments so agree, the availability thereof shall be subject to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality; provided, that the amount of any Incremental Commitments under the Incremental Incurrence-Based Amount determined at the time of signing of definitive documentation with respect to, or giving of notice with respect to, a Limited Condition Transaction may be recalculated, at the option of Borrower, at the time of funding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12 or this Agreement, until the termination of the Term A Facility Commitments, no proceeds of any Incremental Commitments shall be used to finance the Specified Acquisition. Terms of Incremental Commitments and Loans.(c) Except as set forth herein, the yield applicable to the Incremental Revolving Commitments and Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement; provided, however, that (1) in the case of any Incremental Term B Loans or New Term Loans funded prior to the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date, if the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental Term B Loans or New Term Loans is greater than the All-In Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to Term B Facility Loans, plus 50 basis points per annum, then the interest rate with respect to the Term B Facility Loans shall be increased (pursuant to the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement) so as to cause the then applicable All-In Yield under this Agreement on the Term B Facility Loans to equal the All-
In Yield then applicable to the Incremental Term B Loans or New Term Loans, minus 50 basis points; provided, however, that any increase in All-In Yield due to such Incremental Term Loans having a higher LIBO Rate floorFloor or Alternate Base Rate floor shall, as the election of Borrower, be reflected solely as an increase to the applicable LIBO Rate floorFloor or Alternate Base Rate floor, as applicable, for the Term B Facility, and (2) in the case of any Incremental Term B Loans, Incremental Term B-1 Loans or New Term Loans funded prior to the 12 month anniversary of the 2021 Incremental Joinder Agreement Effective Date, if the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental Term B Loans, Incremental Term B-1 Loans or New Term Loans is greater than the All-In Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to Term B-1 Facility Loans, plus 50 basis points per annum, then the interest rate with respect to the Term B-1 Facility Loans shall be increased (pursuant to the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement) so as to cause the then applicable All-In Yield under this Agreement on the Term B-1 Facility Loans to equal the All-In Yield then applicable to the Incremental Term B Loans, Incremental Term B-1 Loans or New Term Loans, minus 50 basis points; provided, however, that any increase in All-In Yield due to such Incremental Term Loans having a higher LIBO Rate floorFloor or Alternate Base Rate floor shall, as the election of Borrower, be reflected solely as an increase to the applicable LIBO Rate floorFloor or Alternate Base Rate floor, as applicable, for the Term B-1 Facility. Adjustment of Revolving Loans. To the extent the Revolving Commitments of a(d) Tranche are being increased on the relevant Incremental Effective Date, then each of the Revolving Lenders having a Revolving Commitment of such Tranche prior to such Incremental Effective Date (such Revolving
Lenders the “Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders”) shall assign or transfer to any Revolving Lender which is acquiring a new or additional Revolving Commitment under such Tranche on the Incremental Effective Date (the “Post-Increase Revolving Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each such Pre-Increase Revolving Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans under such Tranche and participation interests in L/C Liabilities under such Tranche and Swingline Loans under such Tranche (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the -121-
related Revolving Commitments) outstanding on such Incremental Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments or transfers and purchases, such Revolving Loans and participation interests in L/C Liabilities and Swingline Loans will be held by Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders and Post-Increase Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments of such Tranche after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Commitments (and after giving effect to any Revolving Loans of such Tranche made on the relevant Incremental Effective Date). Such assignments or transfers and purchases shall be made pursuant to such procedures as may be designated by Administrative Agent and shall not be required to be effectuated in accordance with Section 13.05. For the avoidance of doubt, Revolving Loans and participation interests in L/C Liabilities and Swingline Loans assigned or transferred and purchased (or re-allocated) pursuant to this Section 2.12(d) shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Post-Increase Revolving Lenders, be deemed to be Revolving Loans and participation interests in L/C Liabilities and Swingline Loans in respect of the relevant new or additional Revolving Commitments acquired by such Post-Increase Revolving Lenders on the relevant Incremental Effective Date and the terms of such Revolving Loans and participation interests (including, without limitation, the interest rate and maturity applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly. In addition, the L/C Sublimit may be increased by an amount not to exceed the amount of any increase in Revolving Commitments with the consent of the applicable L/C Lenders that agreed to provide Letters of Credit under such increase in the L/C Sublimit. Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this(e) Section 2.12 shall (i) constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the
benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents, (iii) rank pari passu in right of payment and/or with respect to security with the then-existing Tranche of Term Loans and then-existing Tranches of Revolving Loans, (iv) not be secured by any assets other than the Collateral; and (v) not be guaranteed by any person other than a Guarantor. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any Incremental Commitments or the funding of Loans thereunder, including, without limitation, the procurement of title insurance endorsements reasonably requested by and satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Incremental Joinder Agreements. An Incremental Joinder Agreement may, subject to(f) Section 2.12(b), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.12 (including, without limitation, (A) amendments to Section 2.04(b)(ii) to permit reductions of Tranches of Revolving Commitments (and prepayments of the related Revolving Loans) without a concurrent reduction of such other Tranche of Revolving Commitments, (B) to provide any applicable existing Tranche of Loans and Commitments with the benefit of any more favorable terms applicable to any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Section 2.12, (C) such other technical amendments as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and
Borrower, to give effect to the terms and provisions of any Incremental Commitments (and any Loans made in respect thereof)) and (D) to specify whether any Tranche of New Term Loans is a Covenant Facility or a Non-Covenant Facility. Supersede. This Section 2.12 shall supersede any provisions in Section 13.04 to the(g) contrary. -122-
Extensions of Loans and Commitments.SECTION 2.13. Borrower may, at any time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Tranche(a) (an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be amended, converted or modified to constitute another Tranche of Term Loans in order to extend the scheduled final maturity date thereof and/or to extend the date of any amortization payment thereon (any such Term Loans which have been so amended, converted or modified, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.13. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, Borrower shall provide a notice to Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be similar to those applicable to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they are to be modified except (i) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended to the date set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment and the amortization shall be as set forth in the Extension Amendment, (ii) (A) the Applicable Margins with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher or lower than the Applicable Margins for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche and/or (B) additional or reduced fees (including prepayment or termination premiums) may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased or decreased Applicable Margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (iii) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis, a less than pro rata basis, or a greater than a pro rata basis in any optional prepayments or prepayment and on a pro rata or less than pro rata basis (but no greater than
a pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments or prepayment of Term Loans (hereunder or greater than pro rata basis in connection with any permitted refinancing thereof), in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request, (iv) the final maturity date and the scheduled amortization applicable to the Extended Term Loans shall be set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment and the scheduled amortization of such Existing Term Loan Tranche shall be adjusted to reflect the amortization schedule (including the principal amounts payable pursuant thereto) in respect of the Term Loans under such Existing Term Loan Tranche that have been extended as Extended Term Loans as set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche (determined without giving effect to the impact of prepayments on amortization of such Existing Term Loans Tranche) and (v) the Financial Maintenance Covenant may be modified in a manner acceptable to Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders party to the applicable Extension Amendment, such modifications to become effective only after the Latest Maturity Date applicable to any Covenant Facility in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that each Lender providing Extended Term Loans, by executing an Extension Amendment, agrees to be bound by such provisions and waives any inconsistent provisions set forth in Section 4.02, 4.07(b) or 13.04). Except as provided above, each Lender holding Extended Term Loans shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions set forth in Section 2.09(b) and 2.10(b) applicable to Term Loans) and the other Credit Documents, and shall,
without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the extension of any Term Loans, including, without limitation, the procurement of title insurance endorsements reasonably requested by and satisfactory to Administrative Agent. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche amended, converted or modified to constitute Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension -123-
Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche and Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they were modified. Borrower may, at any time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments of(b) any Tranche (an “Existing Revolving Tranche” and any related Revolving Loans thereunder, “Existing Revolving Loans”) be amended, converted or modified to constitute another Tranche of Revolving Commitments in order to extend the termination date thereof (any such Revolving Commitments which have been so amended, converted or modified, “Extended Revolving Commitments” and any related Revolving Loans, “Extended Revolving Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.13. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Commitments, Borrower shall provide a notice to Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Revolving Tranche) (a “Revolving Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Revolving Commitments of the Existing Revolving Tranche from which they are to be modified except (i) the scheduled termination date of the Extended Revolving Commitments and the related scheduled maturity date of the related Extended Revolving Loans shall be extended to the date set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, (ii) (A) the Applicable Margins with respect to the Extended Revolving Loans may be higher or lower than the Applicable Margins for the Revolving Loans of such Existing Revolving Tranche and/or (B) additional or reduced fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any increased or decreased Applicable Margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the
applicable Extension Amendment, (iii) the Applicable Fee Percentage with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be higher or lower than the Applicable Fee Percentage for the Revolving Commitments of such Existing Revolving Tranche, (iv) the Financial Maintenance Covenant may be modified in a manner acceptable to Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders party to the applicable Extension Amendment, such modifications to become effective only after the Latest Maturity Date for any Covenant Facility in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such Extension Amendment and (v) the L/C Commitments of any L/C Lender that is providing such Extended Revolving Commitments may be extended and the L/C Sublimit may be increased, subject to clause (d) below (it being understood that each Lender providing Extended Revolving Commitments, by executing an Extension Amendment, agrees to be bound by such provisions and waives any inconsistent provisions set forth in Section 4.02, 4.07(b) or 13.04). Except as provided above, each Lender holding Extended Revolving Commitments shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions set forth in Sections 2.09(b) and 2.10(b) applicable to existing Revolving Loans) and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the extension of any Revolving Commitments, including, without limitation, the procurement of title insurance endorsements reasonably requested by and satisfactory to
Administrative Agent. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Commitments of any Existing Revolving Tranche amended, converted or modified to constitute Extended Revolving Commitments pursuant to any Revolving Extension Request. Any Extended Revolving Commitments of any Extension Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche and Class of Revolving Commitments from the Existing Revolving Tranche from which they were modified. If, on any Extension Date, any Revolving Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Existing Revolving Tranche, such Revolving Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Revolving Loans (and related participations) and Existing Revolving Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion -124-
as such Extending Lender’s Extended Revolving Commitments bear to its remaining Revolving Commitments of the Existing Revolving Tranche. Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days(c) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Tranche are requested to respond (or such shorter period as is agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended, converted or modified to constitute Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall notify Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Tranche that it has elected to amend, convert or modify to constitute Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable. In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Tranche subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Commitments subject to such Extension Elections shall be amended, converted or modified to constitute Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments included in such Extension Elections. Borrower shall have the right to withdraw any Extension Request upon written notice to Administrative Agent in the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Tranche subject to such Extension Request is less than the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving
Commitments, as applicable, requested pursuant to such Extension Request. Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall be(d) established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit Q or Exhibit R to this Agreement, as applicable, or, in each case, such other form as is reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent). Each Extension Amendment shall be executed by Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders (it being understood that such Extension Amendment shall not require the consent of any Lender other than (A) the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, established thereby, (B) with respect to any extension of the Revolving Commitments that results in an extension of an L/C Lender’s obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, the consent of such L/C Lender and (C) with respect to any extension of the Revolving Commitments that results in an extension of the Swingline Lender’s obligations with respect to Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender). An Extension Amendment may, subject to Sections 2.13(a) and (b), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.13 (including, without limitation, (A) amendments to Section 2.04(b)(ii) to permit reductions of Tranches of Revolving Commitments (and prepayments of the related Revolving Loans) without a concurrent reduction of such Tranche of Extended Revolving Commitments,(B) such other technical amendments as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to give effect to the terms and provisions of any Extended Term
Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable) and (C) to specify whether any Tranche of Extended Term Loans is a Covenant Facility or a Non-Covenant Facility. Defaulting Lender Provisions.SECTION 2.14. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a Lender becomes, and(a) during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply: -125-
the L/C Liabilities and the participations in outstanding Swingline Loan of such(i) Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders under the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments of such Tranche; provided that (i) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total Revolving Exposure under the applicable Tranche may not in any event exceed the Revolving Commitment under such Tranche of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation, (ii) subject to Section 13.20, neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim Borrower, Administrative Agent, any L/C Lender, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender and (iii) the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(a) are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless Borrower shall have otherwise notified Administrative Agent at such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time); to the extent that any portion (the “un-reallocated portion”) of the Defaulting(ii) Lender’s L/C Liabilities and participations in outstanding Swingline Loan cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (a) above or otherwise, Borrower will, not later than three (3) Business Days after demand by Administrative Agent (at the direction of any L/C Lender and/or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be), (i) Cash Collateralize the obligations of Borrower to the L/C Lender and the Swingline Lender in respect of such L/C Liabilities or participations in outstanding Swingline Loans, as the case may be, in
an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the un-reallocated portion of such L/C Liabilities or participations in any outstanding Swingline Loans, or (ii) in the case of such participations in any outstanding Swingline Loans, prepay (subject to clause (c) below) and/or Cash Collateralize in full the un-reallocated portion thereof, or (iii) make other arrangements satisfactory to Administrative Agent, and to the applicable L/C Lender and the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender under(iii) Section 2.05(a) or Section 2.05(f); and any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by(iv) Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 11 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.07 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent or requested by the applicable L/C Lender or Swingline Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or any Swingline Loan, as applicable; fourth, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a
non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Lender or Swingline Lenders as a result -126-
of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any L/C Lender or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Liabilities in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Liabilities owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders of the applicable Tranche on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Liabilities owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.14(a)(iv) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. Cure. If Borrower, Administrative Agent, each L/C Lender and the Swingline Lender(b) agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts
then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.14(a)), (x) such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Exposure, L/C Liabilities and participations in any outstanding Swingline Loans of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Tranche, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such exposure of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender, and (y) all Cash Collateral provided pursuant to Section 2.14(a)(ii) shall thereafter be promptly returned to Borrower. Certain Fees. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a(c) Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.05 or Section 2.03(h) (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees), provided that (i) to the extent that all or a portion of the L/C Liability or the participations in outstanding Swingline Loans of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.14, such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with
their respective Commitments under the applicable Tranche, and (ii) to the extent that all or any portion of such L/C Liability or participations in any outstanding Swingline Loans cannot be so reallocated, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the L/C Lender and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, except to the extent of any un-reallocated portion that is Cash Collateralized (and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 4.02 will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section 2.14(c)). -127-
Refinancing Amendments.SECTION 2.15. At any time after the Closing Date, Borrower may obtain Credit Agreement Refinancing(a) Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments, Extended Revolving Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments, Incremental Revolving Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments), in the form of Other Term Loans, Other Term Loan Commitments, Other Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment.

The effectiveness of any such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be(b) subject solely to the satisfaction of the following conditions to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent: (i) any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Revolving Commitments or Other Revolving Commitments will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of the Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) being refinanced; (ii) other than customary “bridge” facilities (so long as the long term debt into which any such customary “bridge” facility is to be automatically converted or may be converted at Borrower’s option on customary terms satisfies the requirements of this clause (b)) (as designated by Borrower in its sole discretion), any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Term Loans will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of, and a Weighted
Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of, the Term Loans being refinanced (determined without giving effect to the impact of prepayments on amortization of Term Loans being refinanced); (iii) the aggregate principal amount of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall not exceed the principal amount so refinanced, plus, accrued interest, plus, any premium or other payment required to be paid in connection with such refinancing, plus, the amount of reasonable and customary fees and expenses of Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurred in connection with such refinancing, plus, any unutilized commitments thereunder; (iv) to the extent reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, receipt by Administrative Agent and the Lenders of customary legal opinions and other documents; (v) to the extent reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, execution of amendments to the Mortgages by the applicable Credit Parties and Collateral Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent; (vi) to the extent reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, delivery to Administrative Agent of title insurance endorsements reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent; and (vii) execution of a Refinancing Amendment by the Credit Parties, Administrative Agent and Lenders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall constitute(c) Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security
interests granted by the Security Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the applicable Refinancing Amendment. Upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment pursuant to this Section 2.15,(d) any Person providing the corresponding Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness that was not a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such time shall become a Lender hereunder. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of such Refinancing Amendment, and (i) in the case of any Other Revolving Commitments resulting from such Refinancing Amendment, the Total -128-
 Revolving Commitments under, and for all purpose of this Agreement, shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Other Revolving Commitments (net of any existing Revolving Commitments being refinanced by such Refinancing Amendment), (ii) any Other Revolving Loans resulting from such Refinancing Amendment shall be deemed to be additional Revolving Loans hereunder, (iii) any Other Term Loans resulting from such Refinancing Amendment shall be deemed to be Term Loans hereunder (to the extent funded) and (iv) any Other Term Loan Commitments resulting from such Refinancing Amendment shall be deemed to be Term Loan Commitments hereunder.

Such amendments may include provisions allowing any Other Term Loans to be treated on the same basis as any other applicable Tranche of Term Loans in connection with declining prepayments. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing(e) Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans, Other Term Loan Commitments, Other Revolving Loans and/or Other Revolving Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in
the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15. This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.02, 4.07(b) or 13.04 to the contrary. Cash Collateral.SECTION 2.16. Certain Credit Support Events.

If at any time Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person prior to the right or claim of Administrative Agent or the L/C Lenders as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is
less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, Borrower will, promptly upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay or provide to Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by any Defaulting Lenders). All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Administrative Agent or as otherwise agreed to by Administrative Agent. Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account -129-

Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce(d) un-reallocated portions or to secure other obligations shall, so long as no Event of Default then exists, be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable un-reallocated portion or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, the assignment of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans and Commitments to a Replacement Lender)) or (ii) the determination by Administrative Agent and the L/C Lenders that there exists excess Cash Collateral (which, in any event, shall exist at any time that the aggregate amount of Cash Collateral exceeds the Minimum Collateral Amount); provided, however, (x) any such release shall be without prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any other Lien conferred under the Credit Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Credit Documents, and (y) Borrower and the L/C Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead
held to support future anticipated un-reallocated portions or other obligations. ARTICLE III. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST Repayment of Loans.SECTION 3.01. Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans.

In the event that Borrower fails to select the Type of Loan within the time period and otherwise as provided in this Section 4.05, such Loan (if outstanding as a LIBOR Loan or Term SOFR Loan) will be automatically converted into an ABR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such -134-
Loan or (if outstanding as an ABR Loan) will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, an ABR Loan. In the event that Borrower has elected to borrow or convert Loans into LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans but fails to select the duration of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans within the time period and otherwise as provided in this Section 4.05, such LIBOR Loan or Term Benchmark Loan shall have an Interest Period of one month. Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent.SECTION 4.06. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the(a) proposed date of any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of ABR Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of ABR Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Administrative Agent in connection with the
foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date(b) on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or L/C Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Right of Setoff, Sharing of Payments; Etc.SECTION 4.07. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Credit Party agrees(a) that, in
addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (to the fullest extent permitted by law), subject to obtaining the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, to set off and apply any deposit (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), or other indebtedness, held by it for the credit -135-
or account of such Credit Party at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender’s Loans, Reimbursement Obligations or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such deposit or other indebtedness is then due to such Credit Party), in which case it shall promptly notify such Credit Party thereof; provided, however, that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof; and provided further that no such right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim shall apply to (i) any funds held for further distribution to any Governmental Authority or (ii) any funds held by a Credit Party which are held by that Credit Party only as custodian or trustee (and in which that Credit Party does not have a beneficial interest) such as, by way of example and not limitation, Horseman’s Accounts, and which are clearly labeled to indicate that such funds are so held by the Credit Party. Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive (other than pursuant to Section(b) 2.09(b), Section 2.10(b), Section 2.11, Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.15, Article V, Section 13.04 or Section 13.05(d) or as otherwise specifically provided herein or in the Engagement Letter) any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents (including any guarantee), or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations or fees, the sum of which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such amounts then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such amounts then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such
Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower consents to the foregoing arrangements. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation may exercise all(c) rights of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall(d) affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or obligation of any Credit Party. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 4.07 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 4.07 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.07, in the event that(e) any Defaulting Lender exercises any right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent,
each L/C Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. -136-
ARTICLE V. YIELD PROTECTION, ETC. Increased Costs.SECTION 5.01. If any Change in Law shall:(a) subject any Lender to any Tax with respect to this Agreement, any Note, any(i) Letter of Credit or any Lender’s participation therein, any L/C Document or any Loan made by it, any deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof by any Governmental Authority (except for any Covered Taxes or Excluded Taxes); impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory(ii) loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender, in each case, that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO Rate or the Term SOFR Rate hereunder; or impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost(iii) or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to materially increase the cost to such Lender or L/C Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans (or of maintaining its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans) or issuing, maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit (or maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), then, in any such case, Borrower shall, within 10 days of written demand therefor, pay such Lender or L/C Lender any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or L/C Lender for such increased cost; provided that requests for additional compensation due to increased costs shall be limited to circumstances generally affecting the banking
market and for which the requesting Lender certifies that it is the general policy or practice of such requesting Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other similar agreements. If any Lender or L/C Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify Borrower, through Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts setting forth the calculation of such additional(b) amounts pursuant to this Section 5.01 submitted by such Lender or L/C Lender, through Administrative Agent, to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error. Without limiting the survival of any other covenant hereunder, this Section 5.01 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other Obligations payable hereunder. In the event that any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law affecting(c) such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or the Lender’s holding company with regard to capital or liquidity requirements, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, the Commitments of such Lender, the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans held by such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking -137-
into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, after submission by such Lender or Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the affected Lender and the basis for such request), Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction; provided that requests for additional compensation due to increased costs shall be limited to circumstances generally affecting the banking market and for which the requesting Lender certifies that it is the general policy or practice of such requesting Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other similar agreements. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this(d) Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the change in law giving rise to such increased costs incurred or reductions suffered and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Inability To Determine Interest Rate with respect to LIBORSECTION 5.02. Loans[Reserved]. (a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans: (i) Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate
and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate or the LIBO Base Rate, as applicable (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate or because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period; provided that, solely with respect to the Revolving Facility, no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or (ii) Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that they have determined in good faith that the LIBO Rate or the LIBO Base Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; then Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders through the Platform as provided in Section 13.02 as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any subsequent Notice of Continuation/Conversion that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall be ineffective and any such Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall be repaid or converted (as determined by Borrower) into a Borrowing of ABR Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and (B) if any subsequent Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of ABR Loans. (b) If any Term B Facility Lender determines in good faith that any change after the date hereof in any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or if any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Term B Facility Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, fund or continue any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material -138-
 restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make, maintain, fund or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Borrowings of ABR Loans to Borrowings of LIBOR Loans will be suspended until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower will upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), either (at Borrower’s election) convert or prepay all Borrowings of LIBOR Loans of such Lender to Borrowings of ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Borrowings of LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such conversion or prepayment, Borrower will also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted or prepaid. (c) Solely with respect to any Term B Facility Commitments and Term B Facility Loans, if at any time Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then Administrative Agent and Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Base Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market
convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.04, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause(c) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 5.02(c), only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any subsequent Notice of Continuation/Conversion that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall be ineffective, and (y) if any subsequent Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, such Borrowing shall be made as Borrowing of ABR Loans; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. (d) Solely with respect to the Term B-1 Facility, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, Administrative Agent and Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business
Day after Administrative Agent with the written consent of Borrower has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrower so long as Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, with respect to the Term B-1 Facility, written objection to such amendment from the Term B-1 Facility Lenders comprising the Required Term B-1 Facility Lenders; provided that, with respect to any proposed amendment containing any SOFR-Based Rate, the Term B-1 Facility Lenders shall be entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective with respect to the Term B-1 Facility on the date that Term B-1 Facility Lenders comprising the Required Term B-1 Facility Lenders have delivered to -139-
Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Term B-1 Facility Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 5.02(d) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. (e) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement with respect to the Term B-1 Facility, Administrative Agent, in consultation with Borrower, will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes with respect to the Revolving Facility or the Term B-1 Facility, as applicable, from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. (f) Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower, the Term B-1 Facility Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Administrative Agent, the Term B-1 Facility Lenders, with the written consent of Borrower to the extent applicable, pursuant to this Section 5.02(f), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this
Section 5.02(f). (g) Upon Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Borrower may revoke any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of Alternative Base Rate based upon LIBO Rate will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate. Illegality with respect to SOFR/Term SOFR. If any Lender with LoansSECTION 5.03. with interest that may be determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such a Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term Benchmark Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Term Benchmark Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the
Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term Benchmark Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loan to such day, or immediately, in -140-
the case of if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loan and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.05. Treatment of Affected Loans.SECTION 5.04. (a) If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans or to continue, or to convert ABR Loans into, LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.02, Section 5.03 or Section 5.07, such Lender’s LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans, as applicable, shall be automatically converted into ABR Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans, as applicable, (or on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent as is required by law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.02 or Section 5.07 which gave rise to such conversion no longer exist: to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans have(i) been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans; and all Loans which would otherwise be made or continued by such Lender as(ii) LIBOR Loans or
Term Benchmark Loans shall be made or continued instead as ABR Loans and all ABR Loans of such Lender which would otherwise be converted into LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans shall remain as ABR Loans. If such Lender gives notice to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 5.02 or Section 5.07 which gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans pursuant to this Section 5.04 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans are outstanding, such Lender’s ABR Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBORTerm Benchmark Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Tranche. Compensation.(a) Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to holdSECTION 5.05. each Lender harmless from any loss or expense (excluding any loss of profits or margin) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (1) default by Borrower in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Loan or Term Benchmark Loan, (2) default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans after Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (3) Borrower making any prepayment other than on the date specified in the relevant prepayment notice, or (4) the conversion or the making of a payment or a prepayment (including any repayments or prepayments made pursuant to
Sections 2.09 or 2.10 or as a result of an acceleration of Loans pursuant to Section 11.01 or as a result of the replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 or 13.04(b)) of -141-
LIBOR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including in each case, any such loss (excluding any loss of profits or margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that no such amounts under this Section 5.05(a) shall be payable by Borrower in connection with any termination in accordance with Section 2.12(b) of any Interest Period of one month or shorter. (b) For the purpose of calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 5.05 with respect to LIBOR Loans, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBO Base Rate in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. Any Lender requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 5.05 will furnish to Administrative Agent and Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of such request and such certificate, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive. Without limiting the survival of any other covenant hereunder, this covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder. Net Payments.SECTION 5.06. All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit(a) Document shall be made without deduction or withholding any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws require the deduction or withholding of any Tax in respect of any such payment by Administrative Agent or a Credit Party,
then (i) the applicable withholding agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the applicable withholding agent to be required, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (iii) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Covered Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or deductions are made (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.06), the applicable Lender (or, in the case of payments made to Administrative Agent for its own account, Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made (provided that, if the applicable withholding agent in respect of a Covered Tax is a Person other than a Credit Party or the Administrative Agent (e.g., a Lender), the additional amounts required to be paid by a Credit Party under this clause (iii) in respect of such Tax shall not be greater than the additional amounts such Credit Party would have been obligated to pay had such Credit Party made payment of such sum directly to the applicable beneficial owner of such payment, provided further, that such Tax would not have been an Excluded Tax had such beneficial owner been a Lender hereunder and had complied with the provisions of Section 5.06(c)(ii). Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes by a Credit Party pursuant to this Section 5.06 a certified copy of an official receipt or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent evidencing such payment by the applicable Credit Party. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each Lender, and
reimburse Administrative Agent or such Lender (as applicable) upon its written request, for the amount of any Covered Taxes payable or paid by such Lender or Administrative Agent (including Covered Taxes imposed or asserted on amounts payable under this Section 5.06) and for any other reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case, whether or not such Covered Taxes were correctly or legally imposed. Such written request shall include a certificate of such Lender or Administrative Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such request and such certificate, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive. -142-
In addition, Borrower agrees to (and shall timely) pay all present or future stamp, court(b) or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes which arise from any payment made under or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement filing, recordation or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Credit Document except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.11) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding(c) Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. (ii) Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees to the extent it is legally eligible to do so to deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, and from time to time upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent, whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax; (2) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) or 871(h) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a CFC related to Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that no interest payments in connection with any Credit Documents are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or (4) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where such Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. Any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other documentation prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, if any. (iii) Each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver at the time(s) and in the manner(s) prescribed by applicable Law, to Borrower and Administrative Agent (as applicable), a properly -143-
completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9, or any successor form, certifying that such Person is exempt from United States backup withholding. (iv) If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA, and to determine the amount to deduct and withhold, if any, from such payment. For purposes of this Section 5.06(c)(iv), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. (v) Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such documentation or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.06(c), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to deliver to the Credit Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.06(c). On or before the date Administrative Agent
becomes a party to this Agreement, if(d) Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to Borrower two executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. Otherwise, Administrative Agent (including any successor Administrative Agent that is not a U.S. Person) shall deliver two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf) and IRS Form W-8IMY (for all other payments) certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of Lenders are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Credit Parties to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments (and the Credit Parties and Administrative Agent agree to so treat Administrative Agent as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.06(d), Administrative Agent shall not be required to provide any documentation that Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a Change in Law after the Closing Date. Any Lender requiring Borrower to pay any Covered Taxes or additional amounts to such(e) Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender pursuant to this Section 5.06 agrees to use (at the Credit Parties’ expense) reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if, in the judgment of such Lender, the making of such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a cash refund in respect of an(f) overpayment of Taxes from a Governmental Authority with respect to, and
actually resulting from, an amount of Taxes actually paid to or on behalf of Administrative Agent or such Lender by Borrower or any other Credit Party, then Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify Borrower of such refund and forward the proceeds of such refund (or relevant portion thereof and including any interest paid by -144-
the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) to Borrower as reduced by any reasonable expense or liability incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with obtaining such refund (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund); provided, however, that Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender, shall repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 5.06(f) shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.06(f), in no event will Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to any Credit Party pursuant to this Section 5.06(f) the payment of which would place Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.06, the term “Lender” includes(g) any Swingline Lender and any L/C Lender and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA. Inability to Determine Rate with respect to Term Benchmark Loans.SECTION 5.07. This Section 5.07 shall not apply with respect to Term B Facility Loans or Term B-1(a) Facility Loans. Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 5.07, if: the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive(i)
absent manifest error) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Term SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; or the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that prior to the(ii) commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Notice of Continuation/Conversion in accordance with the terms of Section 2.09 or a new Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, (1) any Notice of Continuation/Conversion that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Notice of Borrowing that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Notice of Continuation/Conversion or a Notice of Borrowing, as applicable, for an Alternate Base Rate Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this
Section 5.07(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the -145-
 Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Notice of Continuation/Conversion in accordance with the terms of Section 2.09 or a new Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, (2) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, if a(b) Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b)(1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b)(2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not
received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Tranche Lenders of each affected Tranche. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, the(c) Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any(d) occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 5.07, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 5.07. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, at any(e) time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a
term rate (including the Term SOFR Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or -146-
 after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark(f) Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to an Alternate Base Rate Borrowing. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 5.07, any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and
shall constitute an ABR Loan. ARTICLE VI. GUARANTEES The Guarantees. Each (a) Guarantor, jointly and severally with each otherSECTION 6.01. Guarantor, hereby guarantees as primary obligor and not as surety to each Secured Party and its successors and assigns the prompt payment and performance in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs, expenses, or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Debtor Relief Law after the filing of any bankruptcy or insolvency petition) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Notes held by each Lender of, Borrower, and (b) Credit Party, jointly and severally with each other Credit Party, hereby guarantees as primary obligor and not as surety to each Secured Party and its successors and assigns the prompt payment and performance in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs, expenses or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Debtor Relief Law after the filing of any bankruptcy or insolvency petition) on and all other Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any other Credit Party under any Credit Document, any Credit Swap Contract entered into with a Swap Provider or any Secured Cash Management Agreement entered into with a Cash Management Bank, in each case now or hereinafter created, incurred or made, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated and strictly in accordance with the terms thereof; provided, that (i) the obligations guaranteed shall exclude obligations under any Swap Contract or Cash Management Agreements with respect to which the applicable Swap Provider or Cash Management Bank, as applicable, provides notice to Borrower that it does
not want such Swap Contract or Cash Management Agreement, as applicable, to be secured, and (ii) as to each Guarantor the obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder shall not include any Excluded Swap Obligations in respect of such Guarantor (such obligations being guaranteed pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations” (it being understood that the Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower shall be limited to those referred to in clause (b) above and the -147-
Guaranteed Obligations of each other Guarantor shall not include any Obligations with respect to which such Guarantor is the primary obligor)). Each Credit Party, jointly and severally with each other Credit Party, hereby agrees that if any other Credit Party shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, such Credit Party will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Credit Parties underSECTION 6.02. Section 6.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment (and not of collection) and are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (except for Payment in Full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any of the Credit Parties with respect to its respective guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above: at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Credit Parties, the time(i) for any
performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of(ii) the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Credit Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; the release of any other Credit Party pursuant to Section 6.08;(iii) any renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the(iv) Guaranteed Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Credit Documents; any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to(v) assert or enforce, delay in enforcement, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under any Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; any settlement, compromise, release, or discharge of, or acceptance or refusal of(vi) any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or any substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any subordination of the Guaranteed Obligations to any other obligations; -148-
the validity, perfection, non-perfection or lapse in perfection, priority or(vii) avoidance of any security interest or lien, the release of any or all collateral securing, or purporting to secure, the Guaranteed Obligations or any other impairment of such collateral; any exercise of remedies with respect to any security for the Guaranteed(viii) Obligations (including, without limitation, any collateral, including the Collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations) at such time and in such order and in such manner as Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties may decide and whether or not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy that any Credit Party would otherwise have and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provisions hereof, each Credit Party hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Credit Party as a surety under applicable law; or any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any(ix) extent vary the risk of any Credit Party as a guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Credit Party as a guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or of such Credit Party under the guarantee contained in this Article VI or of any security interest granted by any Credit Party in its capacity as a guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether in a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar law, or in any other instance. The Credit Parties hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, marshaling and all notices whatsoever, and any
requirement that any Secured Party thereof exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Credit Party under this Agreement, the Notes, the Credit Swap Contracts or the Secured Cash Management Agreements or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Credit Parties waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party thereof upon this guarantee or acceptance of this guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this guarantee, and all dealings between the Credit Parties and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guarantee. This guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by the Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against any Credit Party or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Credit Parties and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns,
notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.02 shall permit amendments to the Credit Documents or an acceleration of the Obligations other than as set forth in the Credit Documents. -149-
Reinstatement. The obligations of the Credit Parties under this Article VISECTION 6.03. shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or avoided or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Secured Party in connection with such rescission, avoidance or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, other than any costs or expenses resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or material breach by, such Secured Party. Subrogation; Subordination. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that until theSECTION 6.04. payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 6.01, whether by subrogation, contribution or otherwise, against any Credit Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of any Credit Party now or hereafter owing to any Credit Party by reason of any payment by such Credit Party under the Guarantee in this Article VI is hereby subordinated to the prior Payment in Full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Even
of Default, each Credit Party agrees that it will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of any other Credit Party to such Credit Party until the Obligations shall have been Paid in Full in cash. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and any amounts are paid to the Credit Parties in violation of the foregoing limitation, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Credit Party as trustee for the Secured Parties and be paid over to Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of such Credit Party under the other provisions of the guaranty contained herein. Remedies. The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree that, as between theSECTION 6.05. Credit Parties and the Lenders, the obligations of any Credit Party under this Agreement and the Notes may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article XI (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Article XI) for purposes of Section 6.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable arising under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other law providing for protection from creditors) as against such other Credit Parties and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the other Credit Parties for purposes of Section 6.01. Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article VI is a continuingSECTION 6.06. guarantee of payment and performance, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or
proceedingSECTION 6.07. involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Credit Party under Section 6.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 6.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Credit Party, any Secured Party or any other Person, be automatically limited -150-
and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding. Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions ofSECTION 6.08. the Credit Documents, (i) the Equity Interests of any Guarantor are directly or indirectly sold or otherwise transferred such that such Guarantor no longer constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a Person or Persons, none of which is Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) any Restricted Subsidiary is designated as or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Guarantor that is a Credit Party shall not be released from its Guarantee hereunder solely due to becoming an Excluded Subsidiary of the type described in clause (d) of the definition thereof due to a disposition of less than all of the Equity Interests of such Guarantor to an Affiliate of any Credit Party unless as a result of a joint venture or other strategic transaction entered into for a bona fide business purpose, or (iii) any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Credit Party is merged, consolidated, liquidated or dissolved in accordance with Section 10.05 and is not the surviving entity of such transaction (a “Liquidated Subsidiary”), such Transferred Guarantor, Excluded Subsidiary or Liquidated Subsidiary, as applicable, upon the consummation of such sale, transfer or designation or such Person becoming an Excluded Subsidiary or merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation, as applicable, shall (without limiting the obligations of any surviving or successor entity to any Liquidated Subsidiary to become or remain a Guarantor) be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 13.03 hereof) and the other Credit Documents, and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document, and the pledge of Equity Interests
in any Transferred Guarantor or any Unrestricted Subsidiary to Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents shall be automatically released, and, so long as Borrower shall have provided the Agents such certifications or documents as any Agent shall reasonably request, Collateral Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect and evidence each release described in this Section 6.08 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents and this Agreement. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severallySECTION 6.09. absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under the Guarantee in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 6.09 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 6.09, or otherwise under the Guarantee, as it relates to such Credit Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 6.09 constitute, and this Section 6.09 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. Right of Contribution. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that to the extentSECTION 6.10. that a Credit Party (a “Funding Credit Party”) shall have paid more than its Fair Share (as defined below) of any payment made hereunder, such Credit Party shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and
against any other Credit Party hereunder which has not paid its Fair Share of such payment. Each Credit Party’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6.04. The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to the Secured Parties, and each Credit Party shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Credit Party hereunder. “Fair Share” shall mean, with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (A) the Adjusted Maximum Amount (as defined below) with respect to such Credit Party to (B) the aggregate of the -151-
Adjusted Maximum Amounts with respect to all Credit Parties multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Credit Parties under this Article VI in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. “Adjusted Maximum Amount” shall mean, with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Credit Party under this Article VI; provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the “Adjusted Maximum Amount” with respect to any Credit Party for purposes of this Section 6.10, any assets or liabilities of such Credit Party arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Credit Party. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Credit Party. ARTICLE VII. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT Conditions to Initial Extensions of Credit.SECTION 7.01. The obligations of Lenders to make any initial extension of credit hereunder (whether by making a Loan or issuing a replacement and/or new Letter of Credit) are subject to the satisfaction of the following: Corporate Documents.

amount of the Equity Issuance Proceeds thereof to increase Consolidated EBITDA with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter (such fiscal quarter, a “Default Quarter”); provided that such Equity Issuance Proceeds (i) are actually received by Borrower from and after the first day of the Default Quarter and no later than the Cure Expiration Date, and (ii) do not exceed the aggregate amount necessary to cause Borrower to be in compliance with Section 10.08 for the applicable period; provided further, that Borrower shall not be permitted to engage in any more than (A) two Permitted Equity Issuances pursuant to this Section 11.03 in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters or (B) five Permitted Equity Issuances pursuant to this Section 11.03 during the term of this Agreement.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan toSECTION 12.01. act on its behalf as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including as “trustee” or “mortgage trustee” under the Ship Mortgages), and authorizes Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including, in accordance with regulatory requirements of any Gaming/Racing Authority consistent with the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. JPMorgan is hereby appointed Auction Manager hereunder, and each Lender hereby authorizes the Auction Manager to act as its agent in accordance with the terms hereof and of the other Credit Documents; provided, that Borrower shall have the right to select and appoint a replacement Auction Manager from time to time by written notice to Administrative Agent, and any such replacement shall also be so authorized to act in such capacity. Each Lender agrees that the Auction Manager shall have solely the obligations in its capacity as the Auction Manager as are specifically described in this Agreement and shall be entitled to the benefits of Article XII, as applicable. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize each of the Agents (other than Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Auction Manager) to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this
Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and neither Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Article XII, except to the extent set forth in this Section 12.01, Section 12.06 and Section 12.07(b). It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Credit Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. Each -208-
reference in this Article XII to Collateral Agent shall include Collateral Agent in its capacity as “trustee” or “mortgage trustee” under the Ship Mortgages. Rights as a Lender. Any Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall haveSECTION 12.02. the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender (if applicable) as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as such Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligationsSECTION 12.03. except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, and each Agent’s duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent: shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties with respect to any Credit Party,(a) any Lender or any other Person, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers,(b) except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability
or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any(c) duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 13.04) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to such Agent by Borrower or a Lender. No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article -209-
 VII or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent or (vi) any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall any Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans or Commitments, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender. Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBOTerm SOFR Rate” or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto. Each of the Lenders (and each Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) acknowledges that Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may act as the representative of other classes of indebtedness under the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall notSECTION 12.04. incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet
or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties andSECTION 12.05. exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that an Agent acted with gross negligence
bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. Resignation of Administrative Agent and Collateral AgentSECTION 12.06. -210-
 Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of their(a) resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the prior written consent of Borrower (unless an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c) or an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) with respect to Borrower has occurred and is continuing) to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent gives notice of their resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders and Borrower (unless an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c) or an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) with respect to Borrower has occurred and is continuing)) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent is a Defaulting(b) Lender pursuant to clause (iii) or (v) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and, in consultation with Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall
have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as(c) applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Secured Party directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all o
its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s and Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 13.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, their sub agents and their respective Related Parties -211-
in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. If a Lender resigns as an L/C Lender, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and(d) duties of an L/C Lender hereunder with respect to all of its Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Lender and all L/C Liability with respect thereto, including the right to require the Revolving Lenders under the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Sections 2.03(e) and (f). If any Lender resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Revolving Lenders under the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(f)(iv). Upon the appointment by Borrower of a successor L/C Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Lender or Swingline Lender, as applicable, (b) the retiring L/C Lender and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit of the retiring L/C Lender, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Lender with respect to such
Letters of Credit. To the extent required by applicable Gaming/Racing Laws or the conditions of any(e) Gaming/Racing Approval, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall notify the applicable Gaming/Racing Authorities of any change in the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. Borrower shall provide advice and assistance to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in making such notifications. Nonreliance on Agents and Other Lenders.SECTION 12.07. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any(a) Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender acknowledges that in connection with Borrower Loan Purchases, (i)(b) Borrower may purchase or acquire Term Loans hereunder from the Lenders from time to time, subject to the restrictions set forth in the definition of Eligible Assignee and in Section 13.05(d), (ii) Borrower currently may have, and later may come into possession of, information regarding such Term Loans or the Credit Parties hereunder that is not known to such Lender and that may be material to a decision by such Lender to enter into an assignment of such Loans hereunder (“Excluded Information”), (iii) such Lender has independently and without reliance on any other party made such Lender’s own analysis and determined to enter into an assignment of such Loans and to
consummate the transactions contemplated thereby notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information and (iv) Borrower shall have no liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against Borrower, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information; provided, however, that the -212-
Excluded Information shall not and does not affect the truth or accuracy of the representations or warranties of Borrower in the Standard Terms and Conditions set forth in the applicable assignment agreement. Each Lender further acknowledges that the Excluded Information may not be available to Administrative Agent, Auction Manager or the other Lenders hereunder. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify each AgentSECTION 12.08. in its capacity as such ratably according with its “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders at such time or, if the Commitments have terminated and all Loans have been repaid in full, as determined immediately prior to such termination and repayment (with such “percentages” to be determined as if there are no Defaulting Lenders), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not paid by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (x) resulting from the gross negligence, or willful misconduct of such Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (y) relating to or arising out of the
Engagement Letter. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this Section 12.08 shall survive the payment of all Obligations. This Section 12.08 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. No Other Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none ofSECTION 12.09. Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents or the Senior Managing Agent shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, an L/C Lender, the Swingline Lender, the Auction Manager or a Lender hereunder. Holders. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note asSECTION 12.10. the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or indorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendencySECTION 12.11. of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Liability shall then be
due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: -213-
to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and(a) unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Liabilities and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties under Sections 2.03, 2.05 and 13.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such(b) claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender (and each Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03, 2.05 and 13.03. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Secured Party or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party in any such proceeding. Collateral Matters.SECTION 12.12. Each Lender (and each other Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral)(a) authorizes and directs Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the benefit of
the Secured Parties and to hold and enforce the Liens on the Collateral on behalf of the Secured Parties. Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Secured Party, from time to time, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. The Lenders (and each other Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) hereby authorize Collateral Agent to take the actions set forth in Section 13.04(g). Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.12. Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders, the other Secured(b) Parties or any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Collateral Agent pursuant to the applicable Security Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Collateral Agent in Section 12.01 or in this Section 12.12 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral or any part thereof as one of the Lenders and that Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders or the
other Secured Parties, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). -214-
Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement ofSECTION 12.13. Law, an Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender, an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 5.06, each Lender shall indemnify the relevant Agent, and shall make payable in respect thereof within thirty (30) calendar days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due Administrative Agent under this Section 12.13. The agreements in this Section 12.13 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of any Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 12.13, the term “Lender” includes any Swingline Lender and any L/C Lender. Secured Cash Management Agreements and Credit Swap Contracts.SECTION 12.14. Except a
otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Security Document, no Cash Management Bank or Swap Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 11.02, Article VI or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Credit Swap Contracts unless Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Swap Provider, as the case may be. ERISA.SECTION 12.15. Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender(a) party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true: such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset(i) Regulations) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments; the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a(ii) class exemption for certain transactions determined by

In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with(b) respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of

The Agents, the Lead Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Syndication(c) Agents and the Senior Managing Agents hereby inform the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement and any other Credit Documents, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Credit Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral trustee fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing. -216-

amounts payable by any Lender pursuant to Section 12.08 (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by Borrower, Borrower’s equity holders, creditors or any other third party or by any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates), IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR -219-
 IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE, but excluding (i) any such Losses arising from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of any Credit Documents by such Indemnitee or its Related Indemnified Persons (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) and (ii) any such Losses relating to any dispute between and among Indemnitees that does not involve an act or omission by any Company or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, representatives, advisors, partners and agents (other than any claims against Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any other agent or bookrunner named on the cover page hereto, Swingline Lender or any L/C Lender, in each case, acting in such capacities or fulfilling such roles); provided, however, this Section 13.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. For purposes of this Section 13.03(b), a “Related Indemnified Person” of an Indemnitee means (1) any controlling person or controlled affiliate of such Indemnitee, (2) the respective directors, officers, trustees, partners or employees of such Indemnitee or any of its controlling persons or controlled Affiliates and (3) the respective agents or advisors of such Indemnitee or any of its controlling persons or controlled Affiliates, in the case of this clause (3), acting at the instructions of such Indemnitee, controlling person or such controlled Affiliate; provided that each reference to a controlled Affiliate or controlling person in this sentence pertains to a controlled Affiliate or controlling person involved in the performance of the Indemnitee’s obligations under the facilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Credit Parties, jointly and severally, will indemnify
each Agent, each Lender and each other Indemnitee from, and hold each Agent, each Lender and each other Indemnitee harmless against, any Losses incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any of them arising under any Environmental Law as a result of (i) the past, present or future operations of any Company (or any predecessor-in-interest to any Company), (ii) the past, present or future condition of any site or facility owned, operated, leased or used at any time by any Company (or any such predecessor-in-interest) to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to the parties’ relationship under the Credit Documents (including the exercise of remedies thereunder) or to (A) any Company’s (or such predecessor-in-interest’s) ownership, operation, lease or use of such site or facility or (B) any aspect of the respective business or operations of any Company (or predecessor-in-interest), and, in each case shall include, without limitation, any and all such Losses for which any Company could be found liable, or (iii) any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any such site or facility to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to the parties’ relationship under the Credit Documents (including the exercise of remedies thereunder) or to (A) any Company’s (or such predecessor-in-interest’s) ownership, operation, lease or use of such site or facility or (B) any aspect of the respective business or operations of any Company (or predecessor-in-interest), and, in each case shall include, without limitation, any and all such Losses for which any Company could be found liable, including any such Release or threatened Release that shall occur during any period when any Agent or Lender shall be in possession of any such site or facility following the exercise by such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, of any of its rights and remedies hereunder or under any of the Security Documents; provided, however, that the indemnity hereunder
shall be subject to the exclusions from indemnification set forth in the preceding sentence. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 13.03 or any other provision of any Credit Document providing for indemnification is unenforceable because it is violative of any Law or public policy or otherwise, the Credit Parties, jointly and severally, shall contribute the maximum portion that each of them is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by any of the Persons indemnified hereunder. -220-
 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no party hereto shall assert, and the parties hereto hereby waive, any claim against any Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Credit Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent set forth in this Section 13.03 (including the Credit Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to indemnify the Indemnitees for indirect, special, punitive or consequential damage that are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder).

modification, change or waiver of or(b) to any of the provisions of this Agreement, the consent of the Required Lenders (or in the case of a proposed amendment, modification, change or waiver affecting a particular Class or Tranche, the Lenders holding a majority of the Loans and Commitments with respect to such Class or Tranche) is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, -223-
then Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, or (y) any Lender declines to consent to an extension of its Loans or Commitments under Section 2.13, Borrower shall have the right, to either: (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of Borrower, if such non-consenting Lender’s consent is required or requested, as applicable, with respect to a particular Class or Tranche of Loans (or related Commitments), to replace only the Classes or Tranches of Commitments and/or Loans of such non-consenting Lender with respect to which such Lender’s individual consent is required, or requested, as applicable (such Classes or Tranches, the “Affected Classes”)) with one or more Replacement Lenders, so long as, at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed amendment, modification, change or waiver; provided, further, that (i) at the time of any such replacement, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements (and with all fees payable pursuant to Section 13.05(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and in each case L/C Interests of, the Replaced Lender (or, at the option of Borrower if the respective Lender’s consent is required or requested with respect to less than all Classes or Tranches of Loans (or related Commitments), the Commitments, outstanding Loans and L/C Interests of the Affected Classes), (ii) at the time of any replacement, the Replaced Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Lender (other than any Loans not being acquired by the Replacement Lender), (B) all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Lender, together with all
then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, in the event Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments owing to such Lender are being acquired and (C) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees and other amounts owing to the Lender with respect to the Loans being so assigned and (iii) all obligations of Borrower owing to such Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (ii) above in respect of Replaced Lenders for which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, and other than those relating to Loans or Commitments not being acquired by the Replacement Lender, but including any amounts which would be paid to a Lender pursuant to Section 5.05 if Borrower were prepaying a LIBOR Loan or a Term Benchmark Loan), as applicable, shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender, as applicable, concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, as applicable, and the receipt of any consents that would be required for an assignment of the subject Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 13.05, the Replacement Lender, if any, shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender, as applicable, shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder and be released of all its obligations as a Lender, except with respect to indemnification provisions applicable to such Lender under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Lender and, in the case of any Replaced Lender, except with respect to Loans, Commitments and L/C Interests of such Replaced Lender not being acquired by the Replacement Lender; provided, that if the applicable Replaced Lender does not execute the Assignment Agreement within one (1) Business Day (or such shorter period as is acceptable to Administrative Agent) after Borrower’s request, execution of such Assignment
Agreement by the Replaced Lender shall not be required to effect such assignment; or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Commitment and/or repay Loans held by such Lender (or, if such non-consenting Lender’s consent is required or requested, as applicable, with respect to a particular Class or Tranche of Loans, the Commitment and Loans of the Affected Class) and, if applicable, Cash Collateralize its applicable R/C Percentage with respect to the Affected Class of the L/C Liability, in either case, upon one (1) Business Day’s (or such shorter period as is acceptable to Administrative Agent) prior written notice to Administrative -224-
Agent at the Principal Office (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders). Any such prepayment of the Loans or termination of the Commitments of such Lender shall be made together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 5.05) (or if the applicable consent requires or requests approval of all Lenders of a particular Class or Tranche but not all Lenders, then Borrower shall terminate all Commitments and/or repay all Loans, in each case together with payment of all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 5.05) under such Class or Tranche), so long as in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant to this Section 13.04(b)(B), (A) the Revolving Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment and (B) such Lender’s R/C Percentage with respect to the Affected Class of all outstanding Letters of Credit under the Affected Class is Cash Collateralized or backstopped by Borrower in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the L/C Lenders. Immediately upon any repayment of Loans by Borrower pursuant to this Section 13.04(b)(B), such Loans repaid or acquired pursuant hereto shall be cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold, assigned or participated out by Borrower) for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit Documents, including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (C) the providing of any rights to Borrower as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit
Document, and (D) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document. Administrative Agent and Borrower may (without the consent of Lenders) amend any(c) Credit Document to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of Incremental Revolving Commitments, Incremental Term Loans, Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Commitments, Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Credit Document. In addition, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, Administrative Agent, Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may amend this Agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or Other Term Loan Commitments). Administrative Agent and Borrower may effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the terms of any Refinancing Amendment. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may enter into (i) amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of the Loans and/or Commitments extended pursuant to Section 2.13 or incurred pursuant to Sections 2.12 or 2.15, (ii) such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of
Administrative Agent and Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with Section 2.13, Section 2.12 or Section 2.15 and (iii) such technical amendments as may be necessary to establish separate tranches or sub-tranches if the terms of a portion (but not all) of an existing Tranche is amended in accordance with Section 13.04(a).

time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Term Loans (or any Tranche thereof in the case of additional Term Loans) and the Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments (or any Tranche of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments in the case of additional Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments) and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Tranche Lenders, Required Covenant Lenders and/or Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) upon five (5) Business Days’ prior(e) written notice to the Lenders, any Credit Document may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and Administrative Agent (without the consent of any Lender, unless the Required Lenders shall have objected within such five (5) Business Day period) solely to effect administrative changes or to correct administrative errors or omissions or to cure an ambiguity, defect or error (including, without limitation, to revise the legal description of any Mortgaged Real Property based on surveys), (ii) any Credit Document may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent (without the consent of any Lender) to grant a new Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties or extend an existing Lien over additional property or to make modifications which are not materially adverse to the Lenders and are requested or required by Gaming/Racing Authorities or Gaming/Racing Laws and (iii) any Credit Document may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and Administrative Agent (without the consent of any Lender) to permit any changes requested or required by any Governmental Authority that are not materially adverse to the Lenders (including any changes relating to qualifications as a permitted holder of debt, licensing or limits on Property that may be pledged as Collateral or available remedies). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) additional extensions of credit consented to by Required Lenders shall be permitted hereunder on a ratable basis with the existing Loans (including as to proceeds of, and sharing in the benefits of, Collateral and sharing of prepayments), (B) Collateral Agent shall (and each of the Lenders (and each Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) hereby authorize Collateral Agent to) enter into the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement upon the request of Borrower in connection with the incurrence of Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt or Ratio Debt (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that satisfy Sections 10.01(v)(A)(iv) and 10.01(v)(A)(vi)), as applicable (or any amendments and supplements thereto in connection with the incurrence of additional Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt, or Ratio Debt (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that satisfy Sections 10.01(v)(A)(iv) and 10.01(v)(A)(vi))), and (C) Collateral Agent (and each of the Lenders (and each Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) hereby authorize Collateral Agent to) shall enter into the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement upon the request of the Borrower in connection with the incurrence of Permitted Second Priority Refinancing Debt or Ratio Debt (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that satisfy Sections 10.01(v)(A)(iv) and 10.01(v)(A)(vi)), as applicable (or any amendments and supplements thereto in connection with the incurrence of additional Permitted Second Priority

Each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, from and after the effectiveness thereof, as if directly a party thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the applicable Credit Party or Credit(f) Parties and Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Credit Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Credit Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, without the consent of any other Person, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in -226-
any Collateral or additional Property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any Property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Requirements of Law or to release any Collateral which is not required under the Security Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Administrative Agent and Collateral(g) Agent shall (A) release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon Payment in Full of the Obligations (other than (x) obligations under any Swap Contracts as to which acceptable arrangements have been made to the satisfaction of the relevant counterparties and (y) Cash Management Agreements not yet due and payable), (ii) upon the sale, transfer, distribution, contribution or other disposition, of Collateral to the extent required pursuant to the last paragraph in Section 10.05 (and Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry) to any Person other than a Credit Party, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders to the extent required by Section 13.04(a)), (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee pursuant to Section 6.08, (v) constituting Equity Interests in or property of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (vi) subject to Liens permitted under Sections 10.02(i) or 10.02(k), in each case, to the extent the documents governing such Liens do not permit such Collateral to secure the Obligations, or (vii) as otherwise may be provided herein or in the relevant Security Documents, and (B) consent to and enter into (and execute documents permitting the filing and recording
where appropriate) the grant of easements and covenants and subordination rights with respect to real property, conditions, restrictions and declarations on customary terms, and subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements on customary terms reasonably requested by Borrower with respect to leases entered into by Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, to the extent requested by Borrower and not materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders or, with respect to any Gaming/Racing Lease, to the extent requested by the applicable Landlord. If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Borrower shall have the right to terminate such(h) Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and repay the Loans related thereto as provided below so long as Borrower Cash Collateralizes or backstops such Defaulting Lender’s applicable R/C Percentage with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments of the L/C Liability to the reasonable satisfaction of the L/C Lender and Administrative Agent. At the time of any such termination and/or repayment, and as a condition thereto, the Replaced Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Lender provided pursuant to such Revolving Commitments, (B) all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, in the event Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments owing to such Lender are being repaid and terminated or acquired, as the case may be, and (C) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Lender pursuant to Section 2.05 with respect to the Loans being so repaid, as the case may be and all other obligations of Borrower owing to such Replaced Lender (other than those relating to Loans or Commitments not being terminated or repaid) shall be paid in full to such Defaulting Lender concurrently with such termination. At such time
unless the respective Lender continues to have outstanding Loans or Commitments hereunder, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 4.02, 5.01, 5.05, 5.06 and 13.03), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender. Immediately upon any repayment of Loans by Borrower pursuant to this Section 13.04(h), such Loans repaid pursuant hereto shall be cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold, assigned or participated out by Borrower) for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit Documents, including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement -227-
or any other Credit Document, (C) the providing of any rights to Borrower as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and (D) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document. [Reserved](i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document,(j) Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or to enter into additional Credit Documents as Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes in accordance with the terms thereof. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.SECTION 13.05. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by(a) the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document (it being understood that a merger or consolidation not prohibited by this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or transfer) without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders and provided, further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments, Loans or related Obligations hereunder except as provided in Section 13.05(b)) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; and provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer, assign or grant any participation (x) to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of one or more natural persons), (y) to a Person
that is a Disqualified Lender as of the applicable Trade Date (unless consented to by Borrower) or (z) under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that such participation may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 13.04(a)(i) or (a)(ii) that directly affects such participant. In the case of any such participation, except as described below, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto). Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.01, and 5.06 (subject to the obligations and limitations of such Sections, including Section 5.06(c) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.06(c) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 13.05, provided that such participant (A) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.11 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 13.05; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or 5.06, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after such participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.07 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-
fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to -228-
establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under United States Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may assign all or(b) any portion of its Commitments, Loans and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Loans and Obligations) hereunder, except to one or more Eligible Assignees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Assignee) with the consent of (x) Administrative Agent, (y) so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c), or, with respect to Borrower, 11.01(g) or 11.01(h), has occurred and is continuing, Borrower and (z) in the case of an assignment of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, the consent of the Swingline Lender and each L/C Lender (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that (1) except in the case of (x) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and Loans at the time owing to it, (y) an assignment of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments by a Revolving Lender to another Revolving Lender or a lending Affiliate thereof that is engaged in providing revolving loan financing in the ordinary course of business or (z) an assignment of Term Loans by a Lender to another Lender
or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitments or Loans subject to such assignment shall not be less than (i) in the case of Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, $5.0 million, and (ii) in the case of Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans, $1,000,000; (2) no such consent of Borrower shall be necessary in the case of (i) an assignment of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments by a Revolving Lender to another Revolving Lender or a lending Affiliate thereof that is engaged in providing revolving loan financing in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) an assignment of Term Loans by a Lender to another Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender and (3) Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof. Each assignee shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment Agreement; provided that (I) Administrative Agent shall, unless it otherwise agrees in its sole discretion, receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500, (II) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 2.08, and (III) such assignments may be made on a pro rata basis among Commitments and/or Loans (and related Obligations). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.05, whether or not such assignment or transfer is reflected in the Register, shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations. To the extent of any assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 13.05(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its
obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and outstanding Loans (provided that such assignment shall not release such Lender of any claims or liabilities that may exist against such Lender at the time of such assignment). At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.05(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall, provide to Borrower and Administrative Agent the appropriate documentation in accordance with Section 5.06(c). Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging or(c) assigning a security interest in its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment of a security interest to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority. No pledge pursuant to this Section 13.05(c) shall release the transferor Lender from -229-
any of its obligations hereunder or permit the pledgee to become a lender hereunder without otherwise complying with Section 13.05(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.05 or any other(d) provision of this Agreement, Borrower and its Subsidiaries may, but shall not be required to, purchase outstanding Term Loans pursuant to (x) the Auction Procedures established for each such purchase in an auction managed by Auction Manager and (y) through open market purchases, subject solely to the following conditions: (x) with respect to any Borrower Loan Purchase pursuant to the Auction(i) Procedures, at the time of the applicable Purchase Notice (as defined in Exhibit O), no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, and (y) with respect to any Borrower Loan Purchase consummated through an open market purchase, at the Trade Date of the applicable assignment, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom; immediately upon any Borrower Loan Purchase, the Term Loans purchased(ii) pursuant thereto shall be cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold, assigned or participated out by Borrower) for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit Documents, including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (C) the providing of any rights to Borrower as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and (D) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; with respect to each Borrower Loan Purchase, Administrative Agent shall(iii) receive (x) if such Borrower Loan Purchase is
consummated pursuant to the Auction Procedures, a fully executed and completed Borrower Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment thereof, and (y) if such Borrower Loan Purchase is consummated pursuant to an open market purchase, a fully executed and completed Open Market Assignment and Assumption Agreement effecting the assignment thereof; Borrower may not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loan to fund the purchase(iv) of outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 13.05(d); and neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to represent or(v) warrant that they are not in possession of non-public information with respect to Borrower and/or any Subsidiary thereof and/or their respective securities in connection with any purchase permitted by this Section 13.05(d). The assignment fee set forth in Section 13.05(b) shall not be applicable to any Borrower Loan Purchase consummated pursuant to this Section 13.05(d). Any Lender may at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with(e) respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender through (x) Dutch auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis or (y) open market purchases on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations: -230-
the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Term(i) Loans shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”); Affiliated Lenders will not (i) receive information provided solely to Lenders by(ii) Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to receive notice nor attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders or (ii) challenge Administrative Agent and the Lenders’ attorney client privilege; the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated(iii) Lenders shall not exceed 25% of the principal amount of all Term Loans at such time outstanding (determined after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof) (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio; as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this clause (e), Administrative(iv) Agent shall have been provided a notice in the form of Exhibit J to this Agreement in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Lender pursuant to which such Affiliated Lender shall waive any right to bring any action in connection with such Term Loans against Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such; Affiliated Lenders will not be required to represent or warrant that they are not(v) in possession of non-public information with respect to
Borrower and/or any Subsidiary thereof and/or their respective securities in connection with any assignment permitted by this Section 13.05(e); and any Term Loans acquired by any Affiliated Lender may (but shall not be(vi) required to), with the consent of Borrower, be contributed to Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (it being understood that any such Term Loans shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be retired and cancelled promptly upon such contribution) and which may be converted into or exchanged for debt or equity securities that are permitted to be issued by such Person at such time; provided that upon any such cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Tranche shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so contributed and cancelled, and each principal repayment installment with respect to the Term Loans of such Tranche pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be reduced pro rata by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so contributed and cancelled. Notwithstanding anything in Section 13.04 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or(f) “Required Tranche Lenders,” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders or the Required Tranche Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Credit Document or any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, (ii) subject to Section 13.05(g), consented (or not consented) to any plan of reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Credit Document, or (iv) directed or required Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Credit Document, -231-
 no Affiliated Lender shall have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action and: all Term Loans held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not(i) outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders or the Required Tranche Lenders have taken any actions; and all Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding(ii) for all purposes of calculating whether all Lenders have taken any action unless the action in question affects such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner than its effect on other Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of this Section 13.05(f), such Affiliated Lender shall have the right to vote (and the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender shall not be so disregarded) with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document that (1) requires the vote of all Lenders or all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby, as the case may be or (2) would affect any Affiliated Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) in a manner disproportionate to the effect on any Lender of the same Tranche that is not an Affiliated Lender or that would deprive such Affiliated Lender of its pro rata share of any payments to which it is entitled, provided, further, that no amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall (i) disproportionately affect such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender as compared to the other Lenders of the same Tranche that are not Affiliated Lenders, (ii) increase the Commitments or obligations of any Affiliated Lender, (iii) extend the due dates for payments of interest and scheduled amortization (including at
maturity) of any Term Loans owed to any Affiliated Lender, (iv) reduce the amounts owing to any Affiliated Lender or (v) deprive any Affiliated Lender of its share of any payments which the Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis hereunder in each case without the consent of such Affiliated Lender. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents to the(g) contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption shall provide a confirmation that, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against Borrower or any other Credit Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Term Loans held by it as Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Term Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders. Notwithstanding anything in Section 13.04 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the(h) contrary, any Lender may at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, a Debt Fund Affiliate through (x) Dutch auctions open to al
Lenders on a pro rata basis or (y) open market purchases on a non-pro rata basis, in each case, provided that, for purposes of determining whether the Required -232-
 Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Credit Document or any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Credit Document or (iii) directed or required Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Credit Document, all Term Loans held by Debt Fund Affiliates may not account for more than 49.9% (pro rata among such Debt Fund Affiliates) of the Term Loans of consenting Lenders included in determining whether the Required Lenders have consented to any action pursuant to Section 13.04. [reserved].(i) [reserved].(j) (i) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a(k) Disqualified Lender as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning or participating Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless Borrower has consented to such assignment or participation in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Lender for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or participant that becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Lender”), (x) such assignee or participant shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or participant and (y) the execution by Borrower of an Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Lender. Any assignment in violation of this clause (k)(i) shall not be void, but the other
provisions of this clause (k) shall apply, and nothing in this subsection (k) shall limit any rights or remedies available to the Credit Parties at law or in equity with respect to any Disqualified Lender and any Person that makes an assignment or participation to a Disqualified Lender in violation of this clause (k)(i). (ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Lender without Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (k)(i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date, Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Commitment of such Disqualified Lender and repay all obligations of Borrower owing to such Disqualified Lender in connection with such Revolving Commitment, (B) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Lenders, purchase or prepay such Term Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require such Disqualified Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 13.04), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder. (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Lenders (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by Borrower, Administrativ
Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of Administrative -233-
 Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, each Disqualified Lender will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Lenders consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws, each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws, (2) if such Disqualified Lender does vote on such plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2). (iv) Administrative Agent shall have the right, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes Administrative Agent, to provide the list of Disqualified Lenders to each Lender specifically requesting the same.

Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall beSECTION 13.12. interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit(a) Document, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are subject to the Gaming/Racing Laws and the laws involving the sale, distribution and possession of alcoholic beverages and/or tobacco, as applicable (the “Liquor Laws”).

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit(b) Document, Administrative Agent, each other Agent, each Lender and each participant agrees to cooperate with each Gaming/Racing Authority and each Liquor Authority (and, in each case, to be subject to Section 2.11) in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over Borrower and the other Credit Parties, including, without limitation, the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by any such Gaming/Racing Authorities and/or Liquor Authorities relating to Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any of the Lenders or participants, Borrower and its Subsidiaries or to the Credit Documents. Further, each Credit Party hereby expressly authorizes Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each other Agent, each Lender and each participant to cooperate with the applicable Gaming/Racing Authorities and Liquor Authorities in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Agent, Lender or participant and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by any such applicable Gaming/Racing Authorities and Liquor Authorities relating to the Agents, Lenders, participants or Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, or the Credit Documents. The parties hereto acknowledge that the provisions of this subsection (b) shall not be for the benefit of any Credit Party or any other Person other than the Agents, the Lenders and the participants. If during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Agreement or any of the(c) Credit Documents it shall become necessary, or in the opinion of Administrative Agent, advisable for an agent, supervisor, receiver or other representative of the Lenders to become licensed or found suitable under any
Gaming/Racing Laws as a condition to receiving the benefit of any Collateral encumbered by the Credit Documents or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Agents and the Lenders under the Credit Documents, Borrower and the other Credit Parties hereby agree to consent to the application for such license or finding of suitability and to execute such further documents as may be reasonably required in connection with the evidencing of such consent. -237-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit(d) Document, to the extent any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document excludes any assets from the scope of the Pledged Collateral, or from any requirement to take any action to make effective or perfect any security interest in favor of Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in the Pledged Collateral, the representations, warranties and covenants made by Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in this Agreement with respect to the creation, perfection or priority (as applicable) of the security interest granted in favor of Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party (including, without limitation, Article VIII of this Agreement) shall be deemed not to apply to such assets. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafterSECTION 13.14. defined) to the extent required hereby, notifies Borrower and the Guarantors that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and the Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and the Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the Act, and Borrower and the Guarantors agree to provide such information from time to time to any Lender. Waiver of Claims. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the otherSECTION 13.15. Credit Documents to the contrary, the Credit Parties hereby agree that Borrower shall not acquire any rights as a Lender under this Agreement as a result of any Borrower Loan Purchase and may not make any claim as a Lender against any Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Agent or Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided, however, that, fo
the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not impair Borrower’s ability to make a claim in respect of a breach of the representations or warranties or obligations of the relevant assignor in a Borrower Loan Purchase, including in the standard terms and conditions set forth in the assignment agreement applicable to a Borrower Loan Purchase. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects ofSECTION 13.16. each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document), Borrower and each other Credit Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Senior Managing Agent and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrower, each other Credit Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Senior Managing Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each of Borrower and the other Credit Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) Borrower and each other Credit Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents; (ii) (A) Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Senior Managing Agent and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor,
agent or fiduciary for Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person (except as expressly set forth in any commitment letters or engagement letters between Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, such Lead Arranger, such Co-Documentation Agent, such Co-Syndication Agent, the Senior Managing Agent or such Lender and Borrower or such Credit Party or Affiliate thereof) and (B) neither Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Senior Managing Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their -238-
respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents or in other written agreements between Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Senior Managing Agent or any Lender on one hand and Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates on the other hand; and (iii) Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Senior Managing Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, or conflict with, those of Borrower, the other Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Senior Managing Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Senior Managing Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Senior Managing Agent or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with
any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby (other than any agency or fiduciary duty expressly set forth in any commitment letter or engagement letter referenced in clause (ii)(A)). Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute anySECTION 13.17. actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Credit Party or any other obligor under any of the Credit Documents or the Swap Contracts or (with respect to the exercise of rights against the collateral) Cash Management Agreements (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Credit Party, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 13.17 are for the sole benefit of the Agents and Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Credit Party. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrarySECTION 13.18. contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents (collectively, the “Charges”) shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium
rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the interest and other Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 13.18 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall -239-
be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in this Agreement, unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Rate, and at that time this Section 13.18 shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Rate. If the Maximum Rate is calculated pursuant to this Section 13.18, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13.18, a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that a Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, Administrative Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, promptly apply such excess in the order specified in this Agreement and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf ofSECTION 13.19. Borrower is made to any Agent, any L/C Lender or any Lender, or any Agent, any L/C Lender or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent, such L/C Lender or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and the Agents’, the
L/C Lender’s and the Lenders’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Credit Document shall continue in full force and effect, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent or L/C Lender, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. In such event, each Credit Document shall be automatically reinstated (to the extent that any Credit Document was terminated) and Borrower shall take (and shall cause each other Credit Party to take) such action as may be requested by Administrative Agent, the L/C Lenders and the Lenders to effect such reinstatement. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected FinancialSECTION 13.20. Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution(a) Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:(b) (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise
conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or -240-
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write- Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority. Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that theSECTION 13.21. Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): (a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a
proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. (b) As used in this Section 13.21, the following terms have the following meanings: “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. -241-
“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D). [Signature Pages Follow] -242-

ITEM 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 8 2023 Radio One Entertainment Holdings LLC a wholly-owned subsidiary of Urban One Inc (the
“Company”) issued a put notice (the “Put Notice”) with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of its interest (the “Put
Interest”) in MGM National Harbor LLC (“MGMNH”) Upon issuance of the Put Notice no later than thirty (30) days
following receipt MGMNH is required to repurchase the Put Interest for cash The Company expects to receive
approximately $145 5 million at the time of settlement of the Put Interest representing both the put price and receipt of the
Company’s annual distribution from MGMNH with respect to fiscal year 2022

ITEM 8.01 Other Events.

On March 10 2023 the Company filed a Form 12b-25 Notice of Late Filing with respect to its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31 2022 (the “Form 10-K”) The Company noted that it has determined
that it is unable to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) its Annual Report on Form 10 K for the
fiscal year ended December 31 2022 (the “Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or
expense due to the reasons described below The Company is working diligently to file its Form 10-K as soon as possible
but does not expect to be in a position to file the Form 10-K by the due date of March 16 2023 Additional time is needed
for the Company to compile and analyze supporting documentation in order to complete the Form 10-K and in order to
permit the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to complete its audits of the consolidated financial
statements and internal control over financial reporting included in the Form 10-K The Company expects to file its
Annual Report within the extension period of 15 calendar days as provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 as amended

The Company noted it expects its auditor will issue an unqualified opinion on the consolidated financial statements
The Company has identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and as a result
expects some of its internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls will be ineffective as of December 31
2022 The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31 2022 will describe these material weaknesses
and the Company is implementing plans to remediate them

Finally the Company noted that it does not anticipate any changes to its previously audited financial statements nor
does the Company expect to report financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31 2022 that are
materially different from the financial guidance range previously provided by the Company during its third quarter
earnings call
