repayment in full of all sums due by the Borrower to the Bank, pursuant to (a) a Continuing
Guaranty dated February 9, 2006 from Youbet, Inc to the Bank, and (b) a Continuing Guaranty dated
February 9, 2006 from UT Gaming, Inc. to the Bank (such guaranties, as the same may from time to
time be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified, being hereinafter called
collectively the “Guaranties”).
E. The Borrower’s obligations in connection with the Credit Facilities are secured by, among
other things, the collateral (collectively, the “Collateral”) granted and described in (a)

(as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified, the

Agreement, the Notes, the ISDA Master Agreement and all Confirmations executed pursuant thereto,
the Guaranties, the Security Agreement, the Securities Pledge Agreement, the Trademark Security
Agreement, the Mortgage, and all other documents now or hereafter executed and delivered to
evidence, secure, or guarantee, or in connection with, any or all of the Credit Facilities, and the
term “Obligations” means the unpaid principal balance of each of the Credit Facilities,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all of the other obligations owed by the
Borrower to the Bank under and pursuant to the Transaction Documents.
G. Pursuant to Section 8 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower agreed to comply with and be
bound by certain financial covenants set forth therein.
H. Pursuant to Section 9 of the Credit Agreement, the parties agreed that any of the following
events or conditions, among others, shall constitute an “Event of Default” thereunder:
(i) | default, breach, failure or violation by the Borrower in the performance, observance or compliance with any covenant, obligation, term or condition contained in Section 7 or Section 8 of the Credit Agreement; and |
2
(ii) | the occurrence of a “Change of Control” with respect to the Borrower. |
As set forth in the Credit Agreement, “Change of Control” means “with respect to any
person, (i) a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or share or interest
exchange, sale or transfer or any other transaction or series of transactions in which the
stockholders, managers, partners, owners or interest holders immediately prior to such transaction
or series of transactions receive, in exchange for the stock or interests owned by them, cash,
property or securities of the resulting or surviving entity or any affiliate thereof, and as a
result thereof, persons who, individually or in the aggregate, were holders of 50% or more of its
voting stock, securities or equity, partnership or ownership interests immediately prior to such
transaction or series of transactions hold less than 50% of the voting stock, securities or other
equity, partnership or ownership interests of the resulting or surviving entity, or such affiliate
thereof, calculated on a fully diluted basis, or (ii) a direct or indirect sale, transfer or other
conveyance or disposition, in any single transaction or series of transactions, of all or
substantially all of such person’s assets.”
I. On or about November 30, 2005, the Borrower, UT Group, LLC (the former shareholder of the
Borrower), Youbet and UT Gaming entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase
Agreement”), pursuant to which UT Gaming agreed to purchase from UT Group, LLC 100% of the
Borrower’s outstanding capital stock. On February 10, 2006, the parties consummated said sale (the
“Change of Control Date”).
J. Prior to the Change of Control Date, the Borrower notified the Bank of the intended sale of
its stock, and, notwithstanding the fact that such sale would constitute a “Change of
Control” thereby giving rise to an Event of Default, requested that the Bank temporarily
forbear from exercising its various rights and remedies as a result of the occurrence of such Event
of Default (the “Acknowledged Default”).
K. On February 9, 2006, the Bank, by a letter agreement with the Obligors, agreed to forbear
until April 30, 2006 (the “Original Forbearance Period”) from exercising its various rights
and remedies as a result of the Acknowledged Default or any Event of Default arising as a result of
a breach of Section 8 of the Credit Agreement.
L. Pursuant to Section 6 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower is required to deliver to the
Bank each quarter a quarterly compliance certificate signed by the Borrower’s chief financial
officer or such other person responsible for the financial management of the Borrower, (A) setting
forth the computation required to establish the Borrower’s compliance with each financial covenant
during such period, (B) stating that the signer of the certificate has reviewed the Credit
Agreement and the operations and conditions (financial or other) of the Borrower during the
relevant period, and (C) stating that no Event of Default has occurred during this period, or if an
Event of Default did occur, describing its nature, the date(s) of its occurrence or period of
existence and what action the Borrower has taken with respect thereto.
M. To date, the Bank has yet to receive the quarterly compliance certificate due from the
Borrower with respect to the quarterly period ending March 31, 2006 (the “Additional Known
Default”).
3
N. On April 19, 2006, the Bank issued a letter to Youbet wherein the Bank agreed to extend the
Original Forbearance Period through June 30, 2006 (the Original Forbearance Period, as extended
thereby, the “Forbearance Period”).
O. The Bank asserts that certain other events of default have occurred under certain of the
covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, all as more particularly identified in that certain
letter dated May 22, 2006 from the Bank to the Borrower, such additional defaults, together with
(i) any additional existing events of default under Section 6(a)(i), 6(a)(ii), 6(a)(iii), 6(e),
6(f), 8(a), and Additional Financial Covenants (§8) of the Credit Agreement, (ii) the Acknowledged
Default and Additional Known Default being hereinafter referred to as the “Existing
Defaults”).
P. Upon expiration of the Forbearance Period, absent further agreement, the Bank has the right
to pursue its various rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents.
Q. Borrower and the Guarantors (hereinafter collectively referred to as the
“Obligors”) have now requested that the Bank, among other things, (a) waive the Existing
Defaults and, (b) modify certain other terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents. The Bank
is willing to grant the Obligors’ request, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth.
