Re: Sale of United Tote Company
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated September 5, 2003, as amended by a First Amendment dated
January 4, 2005, a Second Amendment dated June 13, 2005, a Third Amendment dated August 22, 2005,
and a Fourth Amendment dated November 23, 2005 (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among
United Tote Company (“Borrower”) and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“Lender”), Lender has
made certain loans and financial accommodations available to Borrower. Capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.
Borrower, UT Group, LLC (the former sole shareholder of Borrower), Xxxxxx.xxx, Inc.
(“Youbet”), and UT Gaming, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Youbet (“Purchaser”), in a Stock
Purchase Agreement dated as of November 30, 2005, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”), agreed
that Purchaser will acquire 100% of Borrower’s outstanding capital stock (the “Capital Stock”) at
the time of purchase.
The acquisition of Borrower by Purchaser would constitute an Event of Default (the “Potential
Event of Default”) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement in that
Borrower would undergo a Change of Control. Pursuant to Section 9(b) of the Credit
Agreement, upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, Lender may declare all or any part of
any Obligations immediately due and payable without demand or notice of any kind and terminate any
obligation it may have to grant any additional loan, credit or other financial accommodation to the
Borrower or any Subsidiary.
Lender agrees to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies as set forth in the Credit
Agreement (including any right to collect default interest or accelerate the maturity date of any
loans made by Lender to Borrower) with respect to the Potential Event of Default during the
Forbearance Period (as defined below) on the following express conditions:
a. Affirmation of Obligations. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the
Transaction Documents and the Obligations of Borrower thereunder constitute valid
and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance
with their respective terms, and Borrower hereby affirms its obligations under the
Transaction Documents.
b. Financial Statements. Borrower shall deliver, in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender, (i) a detailed budget for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2006; and (ii) a 13-week cash forecast through May 5, 2006, in each
case no later than February 15, 2006.
c. Guaranty. Each of Youbet and Purchaser shall enter into,
concurrently with the closing of the acquisition, a Guaranty in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender in which Youbet and Purchaser, as primary obligors and not
as sureties, guarantee to Lender the Obligations under the Credit Agreement, which
Guaranty shall constitute a Transaction Document under the Credit Agreement. Upon
the receipt of such Guaranty, Lender shall release UT Group, LLC from the
Continuing Guaranty delivered by it in connection with the consummation of the
financing transactions described in the Credit Agreement.
As used herein, “Forbearance Period” shall mean the period commencing on the date of the
consummation of the acquisition of Borrower pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and continuing
through the earliest of : (i) April 30, 2006; (ii) the occurrence of any Event of Default, other
than the Potential Event of Default or any Event of Default arising as a result of a breach of
Section 8 of the Credit Agreement for the period ending April 30, 2006; (iii) the date of any
breach of any of the conditions, agreements, representations or warranties provided in this letter
agreement; and (iv) the date on which the Lender received written notice from Youbet that the
Purchase Agreement has been terminated. In the event the acquisition is not consummated by
February 13, 2006, this letter agreement and any and all guaranties, pledge agreements or other
documents executed and delivered by Youbet and Purchaser shall be deemed null and void and of no
legal consequence.
The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that upon the termination of Lender’s agreement to
forbear as provided herein, Lender shall be entitled to exercise any or all of its rights and
remedies under the Transaction Documents or any applicable law, including seeking the appointment
of a receiver, acceleration of the Obligations and at any time thereafter Lender shall be entitled
to exercise any or all of its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents as a result of
any Default or Event of Default.
Each of Youbet, Purchaser and Borrower (collectively, the “Companies”) hereby acknowledge and
agree that (a) Lender has not agreed to, and Lender has no obligations whatsoever to discuss,
negotiate or to agree to, any restructuring of Companies’ liabilities to Lender, or any
modification, amendment, restructuring, restatement or renewal of the Credit Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents, (b) if there are any future discussions between Lender and Companies
concerning any such modification, amendment, restructuring, restatement, renewal or forbearance,
that no modification, amendment, restructuring,
-2-
restatement, renewal, forbearance, compromise, settlement, agreement or understanding with
respect to Companies’ liabilities to Lender under the Credit Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents or any term, provision or aspect thereof, shall constitute a legally binding agreement or
contract or have any force or effect whatsoever unless and until reduced to writing and signed by
authorized representatives of all parties thereto, and that none of the parties hereto shall assert
or claim in any legal proceedings or otherwise that any such agreement or contract exists except in
accordance with the terms of this agreement, (c) if there are any future discussions among Lender
and Companies or any of their respective affiliates concerning any new loan, financing or other
extension of credit by Lender, that no such discussions or any written correspondence, proposals or
other communications in conjunction therewith shall constitute a legally binding agreement or
contract or have any force or effect whatsoever unless and until, if ever, reduced to writing and
signed by authorized representatives of all parties thereto, and that none of the parties hereto
shall assert or claim in any legal proceedings or otherwise that any such agreement or contract
exists except in accordance with the terms of this agreement, and (d) except as otherwise expressly
set forth herein, the Credit Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall remain unchanged
and in full force and effect.
This letter agreement is limited as specified and shall not constitute (i) an endorsement of
any action or inaction of any Company or (ii) a modification, amendment or waiver of any other
provision of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. Each Company agrees
that it will not assert laches, waiver or any other defense to the enforcement of any of the
Transaction Documents based upon the foregoing agreement.
This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by all of the
provisions of the internal laws (as opposed to conflicts of law provisions) of the State of
Maryland.
All provisions, terms or conditions and all covenants, representations, warranties and
agreement contained in the Transaction Documents shall remain in full force and effect, except as
expressly provided herein. The forbearance referenced herein is limited to the specifics hereof,
shall not apply with respect to any facts or occurrences other than those on which the same are
based and shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver or modification of any other term, provision
or condition of the Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document or to prejudice any right or
remedy that any holder of the Security Documents may now have or may have in the future.
Please acknowledge your receipt and acceptance of the terms of this letter by signing in the
space below.
