[BANK OF AMERICA LOGO] BUSINESS LOAN AGREEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Agreement dated as of March 10, 1997, is between Bank of America National
Trust and Savings Association (the "Bank") and Bay Xxxxxxx Operating Company
(the "Borrower").
1. LINE OF CREDIT AMOUNT AND TERMS.
1.1 LINE OF CREDIT AMOUNT.
(a) During the availability period described below, the Bank will provide a
line of credit to the Borrower. The amount of the line of credit (the
"Commitment") is Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000).
(b) This is a revolving line of credit. During the availability period, the
Borrower may repay principal amounts and reborrow them.
(c) Each advance must be for at least Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), or
for the amount of the remaining available line of credit, if less.
(d) The Borrower agrees not to permit the outstanding principal balance of
the line of credit to exceed the Commitment.
1.2 AVAILABILITY PERIOD. The line of credit is available between the date of
this Agreement and February 1, 1998 (the "Expiration Date") unless the Borrower
is in default.
1.3 INTEREST RATE.
(a) Unless the Borrower elects an optional interest rate as described below,
the interest rate is the Bank's Reference Rate.
(b) The Reference Rate is the rate of interest publicly announced from time
to time by the Bank in San Francisco, California, as its Reference Rate.
The Reference Rate is set by the Bank based on various factors,
including the Bank's costs and desired return, general economic
conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point for
pricing some loans. The Bank may price loans to its customers at, above,
or below the Reference Rate. Any change in the Reference Rate shall take
effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public
announcement of a change in the Bank's Reference Rate.
1.4 REPAYMENT TERMS.
(a) The Borrower will pay interest on March 1, 1997, and then monthly
thereafter until payment in full of any principal outstanding under this
line of credit.
(b) The Borrower will repay in full all principal and any unpaid interest or
other charges outstanding under this line of credit no later than the
Expiration Date.
1.5 OPTIONAL INTEREST RATES. Instead of the interest rate based on
the Bank's Reference Rate, the Borrower may elect the optional interest rates
listed below during interest periods agreed to by the Bank and the Borrower.
The optional interest rates shall be subject to the terms and conditions
described later in this Agreement. Any principal amount bearing interest at an
optional rate under this Agreement is referred to as a "Portion." The following
optional interest rates are available:
(a) Fixed Rates.
2. OPTIONAL INTEREST RATES.
2.1 OPTIONAL RATES. Each optional interest rate is a rate per year.
Interest will be paid on the last day of each interest period, and on the first
day of each month during the interest period. At the end of any interest
period, the interest rate will revert to the rate based on the Reference Rate,
unless the Borrower has designated another optional interest rate for the
Portion. No Portion will be converted to a different interest rate during the
applicable interest period. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under
this Agreement, the Bank may terminate the availability of optional interest
rates for interest periods commencing after the default occurs.
2.2 FIXED RATE. The election of Fixed Rates shall be subject to the
following terms and requirements:
(a) The "Fixed Rate" means the fixed interest rate the Bank and the Borrower
agree will apply during the applicable interest period.
(b) The interest period during which the Fixed Rate will be in effect will
be no shorter than 14 days and no longer than 180 days.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) Each Fixed Rate Portion will be for an amount not less than Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000.
(d) Each prepayment of a Fixed Rate Portion, whether voluntary, by reason of
acceleration or otherwise, will be accompanied by the amount of accrued
interest on the amount prepaid, and a prepayment fee as described below.
A "prepayment" is a payment of an amount on a date earlier than the
scheduled payment date for such amount as required by this Agreement.
The prepayment fee shall be equal to the amount (if any) by which:
(i) the additional interest which would have been payable during the
interest period on the amount prepaid had it not been prepaid,
exceeds
(ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by the Bank by
placing the amount prepaid on deposit in the domestic
certificate of deposit market, the eurodollar deposit market, or
other appropriate money market selected by the Bank for a period
starting on the date on which it was prepaid and ending on the
last day of the interest period for such Portion (or the
scheduled payment date for the amount prepaid, if earlier).
3. REIMBURSEMENT COSTS. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for any
expenses it incurs in the preparation of this Agreement and any agreement or
instrument required by this Agreement. Expenses include, but are not limited
to, reasonable attorneys' fees, including any allocated costs of the Bank's
in-house counsel.
4. PERSONAL PROPERTY SUPPORTING GUARANTY. The obligations of the
guarantor, California Jockey Club ("CJC"), to the Bank will be secured by
personal property the guarantor now owns or will own in the future as listed
below. The collateral is further defined in security agreement(s) executed by
the guarantor.
(a) Bank of America time deposits in an amount not less than Two Million
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000).
5. DISBURSEMENTS, PAYMENTS AND COSTS.
5.1 TELEPHONE AND TELEFAX AUTHORIZATION.
(a) The Bank may honor telephone or telefax instructions for advances or
repayments or for the designation of optional interest rates given by
any one of the individuals authorized to sign loan agreements on behalf
of the Borrower, or any other individual designated by any one of such
authorized signers.
(b) Advances will be deposited in and repayments will be withdrawn from the
Borrower's account number 14939-02833, or such other of the Borrower's
accounts with the Bank as designated in writing by the Borrower.
(c) The Borrower indemnifies and excuses the Bank (including its officers,
employees, and agents) from all liability, loss, and costs in connection
with any act resulting from telephone or telefax instructions it
reasonably believes are made by any individual authorized by the
Borrower to give such instructions. This indemnity and excuse will
survive this Agreement's termination.
5.2 DIRECT DEBIT. The Borrower agrees that interest and principal payments
and any fees will be deducted automatically on the due date from the Borrower's
account number 14939-02833, or such other of the Borrower's accounts with the
Bank as designated in writing by the Borrower. If there are insufficient funds
in the account on the date the Bank enters any debit authorized by this
Agreement, the debit will be reversed.
5.3 BANKING DAYS. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a banking
day is a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which the Bank is open for
business in California. All payments and disbursements which would be due on a
day which is not a banking day will be due on the next banking day. All
payments received on a day which is not a banking day will be applied to the
credit on the next banking day.
5.4 ADDITIONAL COSTS. The Borrower will pay the Bank, on demand, for the
Bank's costs or losses arising from any statute or regulation, or any request
or requirement of a regulatory agency which is applicable to all national banks
or a class of all national banks. The costs and losses will be allocated to the
loan in a manner determined by the Bank, using any reasonable method. The costs
include the following: (a) any reserve or deposit requirements; and (b) any
capital requirements relating to the Bank's assets and commitments for credit.
5.5 INTEREST CALCULATION. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all
interest and fees, if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and
the actual number of days elapsed. This results in more interest or a higher
fee than if a 365-day year is used.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.6 DEFAULT RATE. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any
default under this Agreement, principal amounts outstanding under this Agreement
will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is 1.0 percentage
point(s) higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under this
Agreement. This will not constitute a waiver of any default. Installments of
principal which are not paid when due under this Agreement shall continue to
bear interest until paid. Any interest, fees or costs which are not paid when
due will, at the option of the Bank, bear interest at the Bank's Reference Rate
plus 0.50 percentage point(s). This may result in compounding of interest.

reasonably require, including but not limited to the following items, in form
and content acceptable to the Bank, before it is required to extend any credit
to the Borrower under this Agreement.

individual designated in writing by any one of such authorized signers.

that arise from:
(i) This Agreement (including any renewals, extensions or
modifications of this Agreement);
(ii) Any document, agreement or procedure related to or delivered in
connection with this Agreement;
(iii) Any violation of this Agreement; or
(iv) Any claims for damages resulting from any business conducted
between the Borrower and the Bank, including claims for injury
to persons, property or business interests (torts).
(b) At the request of the Borrower or the Bank, any such controversies or

States Arbitration Act. The United States Arbitration Act will apply
even though this Agreement provides that it is governed by California
law.
(c) Arbitration proceedings will be administered by the American Arbitration
Association and will be subject to its commercial rules of arbitration.
(d) For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations, the
filing of an arbitration pursuant to this paragraph is the equivalent of
the filing of a lawsuit, and any claim or controversy which may be
arbitrated under this paragraph is subject to any applicable statute of
limitations. The arbitrators will have the authority to decide whether
any such claim or controversy is barred by the statute of limitations
and, if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis.
(e) If there is a dispute as to whether an issue is arbitrable, the
arbitrators will have the authority to resolve any such dispute.
(f) The decision that results from an arbitration proceeding may be

claim, at the time of the proposed submission to arbitration, arises
from or relates to an obligation to the Bank secured by real property
located in California. In this case, both the Borrower and the Bank must

both parties do not consent to arbitration, the controversy or claim
will be settled as follows:
(i) The Borrower and the Bank will designate a referee (or a panel
of referees) selected under the auspices of the American
Arbitration Association in the same manner as arbitrators are
selected in Association-sponsored proceedings;

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

active attorney or a retired judge; and

panel) will be entered as a judgment in the court that appointed
the referee in accordance with the provisions of California Code
of Civil Procedure Sections 544 and 645.
(h) This provision does not limit the right of the Borrower or the Bank to:
(i) exercise self-help remedies such as setoff;
(ii) foreclose against or sell any real or personal property
collateral; or
(iii) act in a court of law, before, during or after the arbitration
proceeding to obtain;
(A) an interim remedy; and/or
(B) additional or supplementary remedies.
(i) The pursuit of or a successful action for interim, additional or
supplementary remedies, or the filing of a court action, does not
constitute a waiver of the right of the Borrower or the Bank, including
the suing party, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if
the other party contests the lawsuit. However, if the controversy or
claim arises from or relates to an obligation to the Bank which is
secured by real property located in California at the time of the
proposed submission to arbitration, this right is limited according to
the provision above requiring the consent of both the Borrower and the
Bank to seek resolution through arbitration.
(j) If the Bank forecloses against any real property securing this
Agreement, the Bank has the option to exercise the power of sale under
the deed of trust or mortgage, or to proceed by judicial foreclosure.
11.5 SEVERABILITY; WAIVERS. If any part of this Agreement is not
enforceable, the rest of the Agreement may be enforced. The Bank retains all
rights, even if it makes a loan after default. If the Bank waives a default, it
may enforce a later default. Any consent or waiver under this Agreement must be
in writing.
11.6 ATTORNEYS' FEES. The Borrower shall reimburse the Bank for any
reasonable costs and attorney's fees incurred by the Bank in connection with
the enforcement or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement
and any other documents executed in connection with this Agreement, and
including any amendment, waiver, "workout" or restructuring under this
Agreement. In the event of a lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, the prevailing
party is entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in
connection with the lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, as determined by the
court or arbitrator. In the event that any case is commenced by or against the
Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any
similar or successor statute, the Bank is entitled to recover costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Bank related to the preservation,
protection, or enforcement of any rights of the Bank in such a case. As used in
this paragraph, "attorneys' fees" includes the allocated costs of the Bank's
in-house counsel.

agreements required by this Agreement, collectively:
(a) represent the sum of the understandings and agreements between the Bank
and the Borrower concerning this credit;
(b) replace any prior oral or written agreements between the Bank and the
Borrower concerning this credit; and
(c) are intended by the Bank and the Borrower as the final, complete and
exclusive statement of the terms agreed to by them. In the event of any
