PART 1 ITEM 1 BUSINESS GENERAL The Company, which began operations in 1972, is a diversified gaming and pari-mutuel wagering company that owns and operates two racetracks and ten off-track wagering facilities ("OTWs") in Pennsylvania, and the Charles Town Joint Venture which is an entertainment complex that includes a thoroughbred racetrack and gaming machines in Charles Town, West Virginia (89% owned). The Company's Pennsylvania racetracks include Penn National Race Course, located outside Harrisburg, one of two thoroughbred racetracks in Pennsylvania, and Pocono Downs, located outside Wilkes-Barre, one of two harness racetracks in Pennsylvania. The Company intends to develop the one additional OTW that has been allocated to it under Pennsylvania law, after which it would operate 11 of the 23 OTWs currently authorized in Pennsylvania. Between 1994 and 1998, the Company increased total wagers at a compound annual growth rate of 12.9% by expanding its simulcast and OTW operations. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW Pari-mutuel wagering on thoroughbred or harness racing is pooled wagering in which a pari-mutuel wagering system totals the amounts wagered and adjusts the payouts to reflect the relative amounts bet on different horses and various possible outcomes. The pooled wagers are (i) paid out to bettors as winnings in accordance with the payoffs determined by the pari-mutuel wagering system, (ii) paid to the applicable regulatory or taxing authorities and (iii) distributed to the track's horsemen in the form of "purses" which encourage owners and trainers to enter their horses in that track's live races. The balance of the pooled wagers is retained by the wagering facility. Pari-mutuel wagering is currently authorized in more than 40 states in the United States, all provinces in Canada and approximately 100 other countries around the world. Gaming and wagering companies, such as the Company, that focus on pari-mutuel horse race wagering derive revenue through wagers placed at their own tracks, at their OTWs and on their own races at the tracks and OTWs of others. While some states, such as New York, operate off-track betting locations that are independent of racetracks, in other states (such as Pennsylvania) racetrack ownership and operation is a precondition to OTW ownership and operation. Owning a racetrack in such a state, then, is akin to an "admission ticket" to the OTW business. Over the past several years, attendance at live racing has generally declined; however the decline in revenues from live racing has been more than offset by an increase in telephone wagering, off-track wagering in and gaming machine operations. STRATEGY The Company intends to be a leading operator in the pari-mutuel wagering industry by capitalizing on its horse racing expertise and its numerous wagering locations and when possible expand them to include gaming machines ("Gaming Wagering"). The Company plans to increase revenue significantly by using the following strategies: Focus on Gaming Machine Operations. The Company intends to seek legislation to permit it to operate gaming machines at its racetracks where not now permitted and to expand legislation in West Virginia. Legislation has been passed in West Virginia, subject to the Governor's signature or veto, which would allow coin out and reel slot machines at race tracks. If such legislation is signed by the Governor, the Company intends to convert some or all of its current machines to coin out and increase the maximum number of machines with reel slot machines. Open Additional OTWs. The Company operates ten of the 20 OTWs now open in Pennsylvania and has the right to operate one of the three remaining OTWs that have been authorized in Pennsylvania. The Company's OTWs are located in Allentown, Carbondale, Chambersburg, Erie, Hazleton, Johnstown, Lancaster, Reading, Williamsport and York, Pennsylvania. At OTWs, customers can place 3
wagers on thoroughbred and harness races simulcast from the Company's racetracks and on import simulcast races from other tracks around the country. Under the Pennsylvania Racing Act, only licensed thoroughbred and harness racing associations, such as the Company, can operate OTWs or accept customer wagers on simulcast races at Pennsylvania racetracks. The Company plans (subject to the receipt of remaining regulatory approvals, including site approvals) to open and operate an additional OTW in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, and to seek legislation in other jurisdictions to operate additional OTW's. Expand Simulcasting Operations. Simulcasting involves the transmission to, or the receipt of, the audio and/or video signals of a live racing event through a satellite for re-transmission at a different wagering location. The Company transmits simulcasts of Company races to other wagering locations year-round and receives simulcasts of races from other locations for wagering by its customers at the Company's facilities year-round. During the past five years, the Company expanded its simulcasting operations and took advantage of favorable changes in pari-mutuel wagering and simulcasting laws in various states and the expanded use of simulcasting technology. Import simulcasting generates revenue for the Company by maximizing the number of events available to a patron for wagering at the Company's facilities by utilizing idle time between races at Company racetracks and OTWs. When customers place wagers on import simulcast races, of the amount not returned to bettors as winning wagers, a portion is paid to the state in which the Company's wagering facility is located, a portion is paid to the "purse" fund for the horse owners and trainers at the Company's racetrack with which the wagering facility is associated, a portion is paid as a simulcast fee to the originating track and the balance is retained by the wagering facility and/or track. In order to promote wagering, the Company has increased and expects to continue to increase full-card import simulcasts from premier racetracks. The Company currently receives import simulcasts from approximately 77 racetracks, including premier racetracks such as Belmont Park, Churchill Downs, Gulfstream Park, Hollywood Park, Santa Anita and Saratoga. The Company believes that "full-card" import simulcasting, in which all of the races at a non-Company track are import simulcast to a Company wagering facility, has improved the wagering opportunities for its customers and thereby increased the amount wagered at Company facilities. Export simulcasting generates revenue for the Company by increasing the consumer base for Company races beyond Company racetracks and OTWs. The Company transmits export simulcasts of Company races to approximately 126 locations and receives a flat percentage of the amounts wagered on Company races at non-Company locations, while incurring minimal additional expense. The Company intends to increase export simulcasting of races from Company-owned tracks to out-of-state racetracks, OTWs, casinos and other gaming facilities. Capitalize on Other Gaming and Pari-Mutuel Wagering Opportunities. The Company intends to continue identifying opportunities in the gaming and pari-mutuel wagering industries which complement the Company's core operations and leverage its pari-mutuel management and operating strengths. Management also intends to explore other opportunities to capitalize upon changes in gaming legislation, including legislation relating to gaming machines. ACQUISITIONS Pocono Downs Acquisition On November 27, 1996, the Company acquired Pocono Downs for an aggregate purchase price of $48.2 million plus approximately $730,000 in acquisition-related fees and expenses. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company will be required to pay the sellers of Pocono Downs an additional $10.0 million if, within five years after the consummation of the acquisition of Pocono Downs, Pennsylvania authorizes any additional form of gaming in which the Company may participate. The $10.0 million payment is payable in annual installments of $2.0 million a year for five years, beginning on the date that the Company first offers such additional form of gaming. As of March 19, 1999, no such additional form of gaming in Pennsylvania has been adopted, therefore no such payment is due at this time. Charles Town Acquisition On January 15, 1997, the Charles Town Joint Venture acquired substantially all of the assets of Charles Town Races for an aggregate net purchase price of approximately $16.0 million plus approximately $2.2 million in acquisition-related fees and expenses. Prior to its acquisition by the Charles Town Joint Venture, Charles Town Races conducted live thoroughbred horse racing, on-site pari-mutuel wagering on live races run at Charles Town Races and wagering on import simulcast races. The Company has refurbished and reopened the facility as the Charles Town Entertainment Complex, which features live racing, 4
dining, simulcast wagering and, effective September 1997, gaming machines. The cost of the refurbishment, exclusive of the cost of the gaming machines, was approximately $27.8 million. GAMING MACHINE OPERATIONS AT CHARLES TOWN ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX On November 5, 1996, Jefferson County, West Virginia approved a referendum authorizing the installation and operation of gaming machines at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex. As a result, the Company consummated the Charles Town Acquisition on January 15, 1997. In April 1997, the Company reopened the Charles Town Entertainment Complex, featuring live racing, dining and simulcast wagering. In September 1997, the Company expanded wagering opportunities by installing gaming machines at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex. The gaming machines are dollar bill-fed video gaming machines that replicate traditional spinning reel slot machines and also feature video card games, such as blackjack and poker. Legislation has been passed in West Virginia, subject to the Governor's signature or veto, which would allow coin out and reel slot machines at racetracks. If such legislation is signed by the Governor, the Company intends to convert some or all of its current machines to coin out and increase the maximum number of machines with reel slot machines. The West Virginia Video Lottery Act specifies a 20% maximum percentage of each dollar wagered on gaming machines which can be retained by the Company. The balance of each dollar wagered must be paid out to the public as winning wagers. Of the portion retained by the Company, a portion is paid to taxing authorities and other beneficiary organizations mandated by the State of West Virginia and a portion is paid to the Charles Town Horsemen in the form of purses. The Company has installed and is operating, as of March, 1999, 899 gaming machines at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex. The Company has obtained all necessary approvals for the installation and operation of a total of 1,000 gaming machines at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex and will increase the number of gaming machines if demand warrants and they are approved by the West Virginia Lottery Commission. RACING AND PARI-MUTUEL OPERATIONS The Company's racing and pari-mutuel revenues have been derived from (i) wagering on the Company's live races (a) at the Company's racetracks, (b) at the Company's OTWs, (c) at other Pennsylvania racetracks and OTWs and (d) through telephone wagering, as well as wagering at the Company's racetracks on certain stakes races run at out-of-state racetracks (collectively, referred to in the Company's financial statements as "pari-mutuel revenues from live races"), (ii) wagering on full-card import simulcasts at the Company's racetracks and OTWs and through telephone wagering (collectively, referred to in the Company's financial statements as "pari-mutuel revenues from import simulcasting") and (iii) fees from wagering on export simulcasting Company races at out-of-state locations (referred to in the Company's financial statements as "pari-mutuel revenues from export simulcasting"). The Company's other revenues have been derived from admissions, program sales, food and beverage sales and concessions and certain other ancillary activities. Pari-Mutuel Revenues Revenues from Company races consist of the total amount wagered, less the amount paid as winning wagers. Of the amount not returned to bettors as winning wagers, a portion is paid to the state in which the track is located, a portion is distributed to the track's horsemen in the form of "purses" and the balance is retained by the wagering facility. The Pennsylvania Racing Act specifies the maximum percentages of each dollar wagered on horse races in Pennsylvania which can be retained by the Company (prior to required payments to the horse owners (the "Horsemen") in Pennsylvania and applicable taxing authorities). The percentages vary, based on the type of wager; the average percentage which is retained by the Company has approximated 20%. The balance of each dollar wagered must be paid out to the public as winning wagers. With the exception of revenues derived from wagers at the Company's racetracks and OTWs, the Company's revenues on each race are determined pursuant to such maximum percentage and agreements with the other racetracks and OTWs at which wagering is taking place. Amounts payable to the Pennsylvania Horsemen are determined under agreements with the Pennsylvania Horsemen ("Horsemen Agreements")and vary depending upon where the wagering is conducted and the racetrack at which such races take place. The Pennsylvania Horsemen receive their share of such wagering as race purses. The Company retains a higher percentage of wagers made at its own facilities than of wagers made at other locations. The West Virginia Racing Act provides for a similar disposition of pari-mutuel wagers placed at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex, with the average percentage of wagers retained by the Company having been approximately 20% (prior to required payments to the Charles Town Horsemen and to applicable West Virginia taxing authorities and other mandated beneficiary organizations). 5
Simulcasting The Company has been transmitting simulcasts of its races to other wagering locations and receiving simulcasts of races from other locations for wagering by its customers at Company facilities year-round, for more than five years. When customers place wagers on import simulcast races, the Company receives revenue and incurs expense in substantially the same manner as it would if the race had been run at one of the Company's own tracks: of the amount not returned to bettors as winning wagers, a portion is paid to the state in which the Company wagering facility is located, a portion is paid to the purse fund for the horse owners or trainers (thoroughbred or harness) of the Company's racetrack with which the wagering facility is associated, a portion is paid to the racetrack from which the race is simulcast and the balance is retained by the Company. The Company believes that full-card import simulcasting, in which all of the races at a non-Company track are import simulcast to a Company wagering facility, has improved the wagering opportunities for its customers and thereby increased the amount wagered at Company facilities. When the Company export simulcasts Company races for wagering at non-Company locations, it receives a fixed percentage of the amounts wagered on that race from the location to which the simulcast is exported, while incurring minimal additional expense. During the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively, the Company received import simulcasts from approximately 75 and 77 racetracks, respectively, including premier racetracks such as Belmont Park, Church Hill Downs, Gulfstream Park, Hollywood Park, Santa Anita and Saratoga and transmitted export simulcasts of Company races to 98 and 126 locations, respectively. Pursuant to an agreement among the members of the Pennsylvania Racing Association, the Company and the two other Pennsylvania racetracks provide simulcasts of all their races to all of each other's facilities and set the commissions payable on such races. In addition, the Company has short-term agreements with various racetracks throughout the United States to import simulcast from, and export simulcast to, their facilities; these agreements include import simulcasts of major stakes races. The Company believes that import simulcasting of out-of-state races, including full card import simulcasting, is beneficial economically to the Company because it makes available wagering on higher quality races and which tends to increase the size of the average wager. Telephone Wagering In 1983, the Company pioneered Telebet, Pennsylvania's first telephone account wagering system. A telebet customer opens an account by depositing funds with the Company. Account holders can then place wagers by telephone on Company races and import simulcast races to the extent of the funds on deposit in the account; any winnings are posted to the account and are available for withdrawal or future wagers. In December 1995, Pocono Downs instituted Dial-A-Bet, a similar telephone account betting system. 6

The Penn National Race Course includes stables for approximately 1,250 horses, a blacksmith shop, veterinarians' quarters, jockeys' quarters, a paddock building, living quarters for grooms, a cafeteria and recreational building in the backstretch area and water and sewage treatment plants. Parking facilities for approximately 6,500 vehicles adjoin the Penn National Race Course. The Company has conducted live racing at Penn National Race Course since 1972, and has held at least 204 days of live racing at the facility in each of the last five years. The Penn National Race Course is one of only two thoroughbred racetracks in Pennsylvania. Post time at Penn National Race Course is 7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 5:00 p.m. on Sundays and holidays. Pocono Downs is located on approximately 400 acres in Plains Township, outside Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. There is a total population of approximately 785,000 persons within a radius of approximately 35 miles around Pocono Downs and approximately 1.5 million persons within a 50-mile radius. The property includes a 5/8-mile all-weather, lighted harness track. Pocono Downs's main buildings are the grandstand and the clubhouse. The clubhouse is completely enclosed, heated and fully air-conditioned. The grandstand has enclosed, heated and air-conditioned seating for approximately 500 persons and permanent open-air stadium-style seating for approximately 2,500 persons. The clubhouse is a tiered dining and wagering facility that seats approximately 1,000 persons. The clubhouse dining area seats 500 persons. Television sets for viewing live racing and simulcasts are located throughout the facility along with pari-mutuel wagering areas. A two-story 14,000 square foot building which houses the Pocono Downs offices is located on the property. Pocono Downs also includes stables for approximately 950 horses, five paddock stables, quarters for grooms, two blacksmith shops and a cafeteria for the Harness Horsemen. Parking facilities for approximately 5,000 vehicles adjoin the track. The acquisition of Pocono Downs was consummated following the last day of racing at Pocono Downs for the 1996 season. The Company resumed live racing at Pocono Downs in April 1997. The Company conducted 134 and 135 days of live harness racing at the facility during 1997 and 1998 racing seasons, respectively. Post time at Pocono Downs is 7:15 p.m. The Charles Town Entertainment Complex is located on a portion of a 250-acre parcel in Charles Town, West Virginia, which is approximately a 60-minute drive from Baltimore, Maryland and a 70-minute drive from Washington, D.C. There is a total population of approximately 3.1 million persons within a 50-mile radius and approximately 9.0 million persons within a 100-mile radius of the Charles Town Entertainment Complex. The property includes a 3/4-mile thoroughbred racetrack. The Charles Town Entertainment Complex's main building is the grandstand/clubhouse, which is completely enclosed and heated. The clubhouse dining room has seating for 600. Additional food and beverage areas are situated throughout the facility.

Post time at the Charles Town Races is 7:15 p.m. on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays, 4:00 p.m. on Wednesdays and 1:00 p.m. on Sundays. Although other regional racetracks offer nighttime thoroughbred racing, Penn National Race Course and Charles Town Races are the only racetracks in the Eastern time zone conducting year-round nighttime thoroughbred horse racing, which the Company believes increases its opportunities to export simulcast its races during periods in which other racetracks are not conducting live racing. 9
OTWs The Company's OTWs provide areas for viewing import simulcasts and televised sporting events, placing pari-mutuel wagers and dining. The facilities also provide convenient parking.

The Company considers its properties adequate for its presently anticipated purposes. POTENTIAL TENNESSEE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT In June 1997, the Company acquired twelve one-month options to purchase approximately 100 acres of land in Memphis, Tennessee. Since such time, the Company, through its subsidiary, Tennessee Downs, Inc. ("Tennessee Downs"), has pursued the development of a harness track and simulcast facility which is located in the northeastern section of Memphis (the "Tennessee Development Project"). The Company submitted an application to the Tennessee State Racing Commission (the "Tennessee Commission") in October 1997 for an initial license for the development and operation of a harness track and OTW facility at this site. A land use plan for the construction of a 5/8-mile harness track, clubhouse and grandstand area was approved in October 1997 by the Land Use Hearing Board for the City of Memphis and County of Shelby. Tennessee Downs was determined to be financially suitable by the Tennessee Commission and a public comment hearing before the Tennessee Commission was held in November 1997. In December 1997, the Company received the necessary zoning and land development approvals from the Memphis City Council. In April 1998, the Tennessee Commission granted a license to the Company, which would expire on the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2000 or (ii) the expiration of Tennessee Commission's term on June 30, 1998, if such term was not extended by the Tennessee Commission. On May 1, 1998, the Tennessee State Legislature voted against extending the life of the Tennessee Commission, allowing the Tennessee Commission's term to expire on June 30, 1998. The Tennessee Commission held a meeting on May 29, 1998 at which it rejected the Company's request: (i) to grant the Company an extended timeframe for the effectiveness of its racing license; (ii) for racing days for the period ending December 31, 2000; and (iii) to operate a temporary simulcast facility. On July 28, 1998, the Company filed for a preliminary injunction and a declaratory ruling on the legal status of racing in Memphis. On November 23, 1998, the court ruled that the Racing Control Act had not been repealed and cannot be repealed by implication by dissolving the Tennessee Commission. It is the opinion of the court that because the Racing Control Act is still in force, horse-racing and pari-mutuel betting is a legal, unregulated activity in Tennessee. This opinion has been appealed by the Tennessee Attorney General. The Company intends to 10
continue its efforts to develop and operate a harness track in Tennessee. Costs incurred as of December 31, 1998 regarding the Tennessee license amount to $489,000 and are presented in prepaid expenses and other current assets. If the State of Tennessee reinstates the Tennessee Commission or otherwise regulates racing, the Company plans to spend approximately $9.0 million in the next year to purchase the land subject to the option and build a combined OTW and grandstand facility. The Company estimates that total development costs, including subsequent track construction, will be approximately $15.5 million. In addition, it will be permitted to pursue the development of additional OTWs in Tennessee, provided it first obtains necessary approvals, including a public referendum for each proposed OTW site and other necessary zoning and land development approvals. NEW JERSEY JOINT VENTURE On January 28, 1999, pursuant to a First Amendment to an Asset Purchase Agreement by, between and among Greenwood New Jersey, Inc. ("Greenwood"), International Thoroughbred Breeders Inc., Garden State Race Track, Inc., Freehold Racing Association, Atlantic City Harness, Inc. and Circa 1850, Inc., the original parties to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into as of July 2, 1998, and the Company (the "Agreement"), and pursuant to which the Company entered into a joint venture ("Joint Venture"), the Company, along with its Joint Venture partner, Greenwood, agreed to purchase certain assets of the Garden State Race Track and Freehold Raceway, both located in New Jersey (the "Acquisition"). The purchase price for the Acquisition is approximately $46 million (subject to reduction of certain disputed items, for which amounts have been placed in escrow). The purchase price consisted of $23 million in cash and $23 million pursuant to two deferred purchase price promissory notes in the amount of $22 million and $1 million each. The Company is responsible for 50% of the purchase price. The parties to the Joint Venture are also contingently liable to the sellers in amounts not to exceed a total of $10 million, if the Joint Venture receives various approvals for off-track wagering or phone betting. The Joint Venture is contingent upon, among other things, the Company obtaining approvals necessary to effect the Joint Venture, which approvals include: (i) full and complete New Jersey regulatory approval (including but not limited to approval of the New Jersey Racing Commission); (ii) Hart Scott Rodino compliance; and (iii) the written consent of a majority of the holders of its $80 million Senior Notes issued December 17, 1997 to any necessary modification to the Indenture dated December 12, 1997 to permit the Company's investment in the Joint Venture. At the initial closing of the Acquisition on January 28, 1999, The Company loaned FR Park Racing, LP, a New Jersey limited partnership, $11,250,000 (at the Company's effective borrowing rate as specified in Note 3 under "Credit Facilities"), which is secured by certain assets. After obtaining the above approvals, the Company will invest an additional $11,750,000 into the Joint Venture with a portion of this amount treated as capital and the balance as debt. The Company will have a 50% interest in the Joint Venture. MARKETING AND ADVERTISING The Company seeks to increase wagering by broadening its customer base and increasing the wagering activity of its existing customers. To attract new customers, the Company seeks to increase the racing knowledge of its customers through its television programming, and by providing "user friendly" automated wagering systems and comfortable surroundings. The Company also seeks to attract new customers by offering various types of promotions including family fun days, premium give-away programs, contests and handicapping seminars. Charles Town Gaming Machine Marketing Programs The Company's marketing efforts, which include print and radio advertising, commenced in October 1997 and are focused on the Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Maryland, Northern Virginia, Eastern West Virginia and Southern Pennsylvania markets. At the Charles Town Entertainment Complex the Company established the Silver Screen Video Slots Club, a manual player tracking system designed to reward frequent and active customers. In 1999, the Company is installing a computerized player tracking system at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex, which will further focus the Company's marketing efforts. In 1998, the Company 11
implemented a coupon program where customers who visit the Charles Town Entertainment Complex can redeem the coupons for $5. From these coupons, the Company has compiled a database of customers which will be integrated into the new player tracking system. Televised Racing Program The Company's Racing Alive program is televised by satellite transmission commencing approximately one hour before post time on each live racing day at the Penn National Race Course. The program provides color commentary on the races at the Penn National Race Course (including wagering odds, past performance information and handicapper analysis), general education on betting and handicapping, interviews with racing personalities and featured races from other thoroughbred racetracks across the country. The Racing Alive program is shown at the Penn National Race Course and on various cable television systems in Pennsylvania and is transmitted to all OTWs that receive the Penn National Race Course races. The Company has expanded Racing Alive and created additional televised programming to cover racing at Pocono Downs and at other harness racing venues throughout the United States. The Company's satellite transmissions are encoded so that only authorized facilities can receive the program. Automated Wagering Systems To make wagering more "user friendly" to the novice and more efficient for the expert, the Company leases Autotote Corporation's automated wagering equipment. These wagering systems enable the customer to choose a variety of ways to place a bet through touch-screen interactive terminals and personalized portable wagering terminals, provide current odds information and enable customers to place bets and credit winning tickets to their accounts. Currently, more than 35% of all wagers at Penn National are processed through these self-service terminals and Telebet. Modern Facilities The Company provides a comfortable, upscale environment at each of its OTWs, including a full bar, a range of restaurant services and an area devoted to televised sporting events. The Company believes that its attractive facilities appeal to its current customers and to new customers, including those who have not previously visited a racetrack. GTECH GAMING MACHINE SUPPLY AND SERVICE AGREEMENT In June 1997, the Charles Town Joint Venture, which is operated as PNGI Charles Town Gaming, LLC, an 89% subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement (the "GTECH Agreement") with GTECH relating to the lease, installation and service of a video lottery system ("VLS") at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex. On November 18, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase GTECH's assets and rights related to the provision of gaming technology at Charles Town Races. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company assumed the ownership and operation of the 799 gaming devices and the central monitoring system for consideration of $12.9 million. PURSES; AGREEMENTS WITH HORSEMEN The agreements with the Horsemen at each of the Company's racetracks set forth the purses. The continuation of these agreements is required to allow the Company to conduct live racing and export and import simulcasting. (See "Racing and Pari-Mutuel Operations") The Penn National Race Course Thoroughbred Horsemen Agreement was entered into in February 1996, and expired on February 15, 1999. Failing to reach an agreement through negotiations, on February 16, 1999, the Pennsylvania Thoroughbred Horsemen stopped racing at Penn National Race Course and withdrew their permission for the Company to import simulcast races from other racetracks. This resulted in the closure of Penn National Race Course and its six OTW facilities at Reading, Chambersburg, York, Lancaster, Williamsport and Johnstown. The Company continued its efforts to negotiate a new agreement with the Pennsylvania Thoroughbred Horsemen and on March 23, 1999 the Company signed a new Horsemen agreement with the Pennsylvania Thoroughbred Horsemen with an initial term that expires on January 1, 2004. The Pennsylvania Harness Horsemen Agreement was entered into in November 1994, became effective in January 1995 and expires in January 2000. The Company has an agreement with the Charles Town Horsemen, which expires on December 31, 2000. See, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - "Liquidity and Capital 12
Resources". The West Virginia Video LotteryAct also requires that the operator of the Charles Town Entertainment Complex be subject to a written agreement with the pari-mutuel clerks in order to operate gaming machines, this agreement expires on December 31, 2000. COMPETITION The Company faces significant competition for wagering dollars from other racetracks and OTWs in Pennsylvania and neighboring states (some of which also offer other forms of gaming), other gaming venues such as casinos and state-sponsored lotteries, including the Pennsylvania Lottery and the West Virginia Lottery. The Company may also face competition in the future from new OTWs or from new racetracks. From time to time, Pennsylvania has considered legislation to permit other forms of gaming. Although Pennsylvania has not authorized any form of casino or other gaming, if additional gaming opportunities become available in or near Pennsylvania, such gaming opportunities could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company's live races compete for wagering dollars and simulcast fees with live races and races simulcast from other racetracks both inside and outside Pennsylvania (including several in New York, New Jersey, West Virginia, Ohio, Maryland and Delaware). The Company's ability to compete successfully for wagering dollars is dependent, in part, on the quality of its live horse races. The quality of horse races at some racetracks that compete with the Company, either by live races or simulcasts, is higher than the quality of Company races. The Company believes that there has been some improvement over the last several years in the quality of the horses racing at the Penn National Race Course, due to higher purses being paid as a result of the Company's increased simulcasting activities, however, there can be no assurance that the Company can continue such improvement. The Company's OTWs compete with the OTWs of other Pennsylvania racetracks, and new OTWs may compete with the Company's existing or proposed wagering facilities. Competition between OTWs increases as the distance between them decreases. For example, the Company believes that its Allentown OTW, which was acquired in the acquisition of Pocono Downs and which is approximately 50 miles from the Penn National Race Course and 35 miles from the Company's Reading OTW, has drawn some patrons from the Penn National Race Course, the Reading OTW and the Company's telephone wagering system; and, the Company's Lancaster OTW, which is approximately 31 miles from the Penn National Race Course and 25 miles from the Company's York OTW, has drawn some patrons from the Penn National Race Course, the York OTW and the Company's telephone wagering system. Moreover, the Company believes that a competitor's OTW in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, which is approximately 23 miles from the Reading OTW, has drawn some patrons from the Reading OTW. Although only one competing OTW remains authorized by law for future opening, the opening of a new OTW in close proximity to the Company's existing or future OTWs could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company's gaming machine operations face competition from other gaming machine venues in West Virginia and in neighboring states (including Dover Downs in Dover, Delaware, Delaware Park in northern Delaware, Harrington Raceway in southern Delaware and the casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey). Venues in Delaware and New Jersey, in addition to video gaming machines, currently offer mechanical slot machines that feature physical spinning reels, pull-handles and the ability to both accept and pay out coins. Legislation has been passed in West Virginia, subject to the Governor's signature or veto, which would allow coin out and reel slot machines at race tracks. If such legislation is signed by the Governor, the Company intends to convert some or all of its current machines to coin out and increase the maximum number of machines with reel slot machines. The failure to attract or retain gaming machine customers at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex, whether arising from such competition or from other factors, could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. EFFECT OF INCLEMENT WEATHER AND SEASONALITY Because horse racing is conducted outdoors, variable weather contributes to the seasonality of the Company's business. Weather conditions, 13
particularly during the winter months, may cause races to be canceled or may curtail attendance. Because a substantial portion of the Company's racetrack expenses are fixed, the loss of scheduled racing days could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company canceled a total of five racing days because of inclement weather. The severe winter weather in 1996 resulted in the closure of the Company's OTW facilities for two days in January 1996. Because of the Company's growing dependence upon OTW operations, severe weather that causes the Company's OTWs to close could have an adverse effect upon the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Attendance and wagering at the Company's facilities have been favorably affected by special racing events which stimulate interest in horse racing, such as the Triple Crown races in May and June and the heavier racing schedule throughout the country during the second and third quarter of the year. As a result, the Company's revenues and net income have been greatest in the second and third quarters of the year, and lowest in the first and fourth quarters of the year. REGULATION AND TAXATION General Company subsidiaries are authorized to conduct thoroughbred racing and harness racing in Pennsylvania under the Pennsylvania Racing Act. Such subsidiaries are also authorized, under the Pennsylvania Racing Act and the Federal Horseracing Act, to conduct import simulcast wagering. The Charles Town Joint Venture is subject to the provisions of the West Virginia Racing Act, which governs the conduct of thoroughbred horse racing in West Virginia, and the West Virginia Video Lottery Act, which governs the operation of gaming machines in West Virginia. The Company's live racing, pari-mutuel wagering and gaming machine operations are contingent upon the continued governmental approval of such operations as forms of legalized gaming. All of the Company's current and proposed operations are subject to extensive regulations and could be subjected at any time to additional or more restrictive regulations, or banned entirely. Pennsylvania Racing Regulations The Company's horse racing operations at Penn National Race Course and Pocono Downs are subject to extensive regulation under the Pennsylvania Racing Act, which established the Pennsylvania State Horse Racing Commission and the State Harness Racing Commission (together, the "Pennsylvania Racing Commissions") which are responsible for, among other things, (i) granting permission annually to maintain racing licenses and schedule race meets, (ii) approving, after a public hearing, the opening of additional OTWs, (iii) approving simulcasting activities, (iv) licensing all officers, directors, racing officials and certain other employees of the Company and (v) approving all contracts entered into by the Company affecting racing, pari-mutuel wagering and OTW operations. As in most states, the regulations and oversight applicable to the Company's operations in Pennsylvania are intended primarily to safeguard the legitimacy of the sport and its freedom from inappropriate or criminal influences. The Pennsylvania Racing Commissions have broad authority to regulate in the best interests of racing and may, to that end, disapprove the involvement of certain personnel in the Company's operations, deny approval of certain acquisitions following their consummation or withhold permission for a proposed OTW site for a variety of reasons, including community opposition. For example, the Pennsylvania State Thoroughbred Racing Commission withheld approval for the Company's initial site for its Lancaster OTW, but the Company applied and was ultimately approved for another site in Lancaster, which opened in July 1996. The Pennsylvania legislature also has reserved the right to revoke the power of the Pennsylvania Racing Commissions to approve additional OTWs and could, at any time, terminate pari-mutuel wagering as a form of legalized gaming in Pennsylvania or subject such wagering to additional restrictive regulation; such termination would, and any further restrictions could, have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company may not be able to obtain all necessary approvals for the continued operation or expansion of its business. Even if all such approvals are obtained, the regulatory process could delay implementation of the Company's plans to open additional OTWs. The Company has had continued permission from the Pennsylvania State Horse Racing Commission to conduct live racing at the Penn National Race Course since it commenced operations in 1972, and has obtained permission from the Pennsylvania State Harness Racing Commission to conduct live racing at Pocono Downs. Currently, the Company has approval from the 14
Pennsylvania Racing Commissions to operate the ten OTWs that are currently open and the one additional OTW the Company proposes to open. A Commission may refuse to grant permission to open additional OTWs or to continue to operate existing facilities. The failure to obtain required regulatory approvals would have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. West Virginia Racing and Gaming Regulation The Company's operations at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex are subject to regulation by the West Virginia Racing Commission under the West Virginia Racing Act, and by the West Virginia Lottery Commission under the West Virginia Video Lottery Act. The powers and responsibilities of the West Virginia Racing Commission under the West Virginia Racing Act are substantially similar in scope and effect to those of the Pennsylvania Racing Commissions and extend to the approval and/or oversight of all aspects of racing and pari-mutuel wagering operations. The Charles Town Joint Venture has obtained from the West Virginia Racing Commission a license to conduct racing and pari-mutuel wagering at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex. Pursuant to the West Virginia Video Lottery Act, the Company has obtained approval for the installation and operation of a total of 1,000 gaming machines at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex. State and Federal Simulcast Regulation The Federal Interstate Horseracing Act, the Pennsylvania Racing Act and the West Virginia Racing Act require that the Company have a written agreement with each applicable horsemen's organization in order to simulcast races. The Company has entered into the Horsemen Agreements, and in accordance therewith has agreed on the allocations of the Company's revenues from import simulcast wagering to the purse funds for the Penn National Race Course, Charles Town Races and Pocono Downs. Because the Company cannot conduct import simulcast wagering in the absence of the Horsemen Agreements, the termination or non-renewal of such Horsemen Agreements could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Taxation The Company believes that the prospect of significant additional revenue is one of the primary reasons that jurisdictions permit legalized gaming. As a result, gaming companies are typically subject to significant taxes and fees in addition to normal federal and state income taxes, and such taxes and fees are subject to increase at any time. The Company pays substantial taxes and fees with respect to its operations. From time to time, federal legislators and officials have proposed changes in tax laws, or in the administration of such laws, affecting the gaming industry. It is not possible to determine with certainty the likelihood of changes in tax laws or in the administration of such laws. Such changes, if adopted, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Compliance with Other Laws The Company and its OTWs are also subject to a variety of other rules and regulations, including zoning, construction and land-use laws and regulations in Pennsylvania and West Virginia governing the serving of alcoholic beverages. Currently, Pennsylvania laws and regulations permit the construction of off-track wagering facilities, but may affect the selection of a particular OTW site because of parking, traffic flow and other similar considerations, any of which may serve to delay the opening of future OTWs in Pennsylvania. By contrast, West Virginia law does not permit the operation of OTWs. The Company derives a significant portion of its other revenues from the sale of alcoholic beverages to patrons of its facilities. Any interruption or termination of the Company's existing ability to serve alcoholic beverages would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. 15
Restrictions on Share Ownership and Transfer The Pennsylvania Racing Act requires that any shareholder proposing to transfer beneficial ownership of 5% or more of the Company's shares file an affidavit with the Company setting forth certain information about the proposed transfer and transferee, a copy of which the Company is required to furnish to the Pennsylvania Racing Commissions. The certificates representing the Company shares owned by 5% beneficial shareholders are required to bear certain legends prescribed by the Pennsylvania Racing Act. In addition, under the Pennsylvania Racing Act, the Pennsylvania Racing Commissions have the authority to order a 5% beneficial shareholder of the Company to dispose of his Common Stock of the Company if it determines that continued ownership would be inconsistent with the public interest, convenience or necessity or the best interest of racing generally. The West Virginia Video Lottery Act provides that a transfer of more than 5% of the voting stock of a corporation which controls the license may only be to persons who have met the licensing requirements of the West Virginia Video Lottery Act or which transfer has been pre-approved by the West Virginia Lottery Commission. Any transfer that does not comply with this requirement voids the license. Potential Tennessee Development Regulatory Compliance. If the Company successfully completes the development of its potential Tennessee harness track and OTWs, the Company will likely face regulatory requirements that are similar to the requirements affecting its existing operations; however, given the absence of horse racing in Tennessee at this time, the Company may face more burdensome regulatory approvals or compliance in light of the absence of an established regulatory framework. ITEM 2 PROPERTIES See, ITEM 1-BUSINESS - "RACING AND PARI-MUTUEL OPERATIONS" A solid waste landfill ("Landfill") is on a parcel of land adjacent to the Company's Harness Track. The East Side Landfill Authority (the "Landfill Authority"), which operated the Landfill from 1970 until 1982, disposed of municipal waste on behalf of four municipalities. The Landfill is currently subject to a closure order issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources ("PADER") which the four municipalities are required to implement pursuant to a 1986 Settlement Agreement among the former trustee in bankruptcy for Pocono Downs, the Landfill Authority, the municipalities and PADER (the "Settlement Agreement"). According to the Company's environmental consulting firm, the Landfill closure is substantially complete. To date, the municipalities obligated to implement the closure order pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, have been fulfilling their obligations under the Settlement Agreement or that the terms of the Settlement Agreement will not be amended in the future. In addition, the Company may be liable for future claims with respect to the Landfill under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and analogous state laws. The Company may incur expenses in connection with the Landfill in the future, which expenses may not be reimbursed by the municipalities. Any such expenses could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Other Property and Equipment The Company currently leases 6,183 square feet of office space in an office building in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania for the Company's executive offices. The lease expires in April 2000 and provides for an annual minimum rental of $71,100. The office building is owned by an affiliate of Peter M. Carlino, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Company believes that the lease terms are not less favorable than lease terms that could have been obtained from an unaffiliated third party. The Company currently leases an aircraft from a company owned by John Jacquemin, a director of the Company. The lease expires in September, 2007 and provides for monthly payments of $8,356. The Company believes that the lease terms are not less favorable than lease terms that could have been obtained from an unaffiliated third party. 16
EMPLOYEES AND LABOR RELATIONS At March 19, 1999, the Company had 1,654 permanent employees, of whom 837 were full-time and 817 part-time. Employees of the Company who work in the admissions department and pari-mutuels department at the Penn National Race Course, Pocono Downs and the OTWs are represented under collective bargaining agreements between the Company and Sports Arena Employees' Union Local 137. The agreements extend until October 3, 1999 for track employees and until May 27, 1999 for OTW employees. The pari-mutuel clerks at Pocono Downs voted to unionize in June 1997. The Company has held negotiations with this union, but does not have a contract to date. Failure to reach agreement with this union would not result in the suspension or termination of the Company's license to operate live racing at Pocono Downs or to conduct simulcast or OTW operations. The pari-mutuel clerks and racing valets at Charles Town are represented under a collective bargaining agreement with the West Virginia Division of Mutuel Clerks, which expires on December 31, 2000. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are satisfactory. ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In December 1997, Amtote International, Inc. ("Amtote"), filed an action against the Company and the Charles Town Joint Venture in the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia. In its complaint, Amtote (i) states that the Company and the Charles Town Joint Venture allegedly breached certain contracts with Amtote and its affiliates when it entered into a wagering services contract with a third party (the "Third Party Wagering Services Contract"), and not with Amtote, effective January 1, 1998, (ii) sought preliminary and injunctive relief through a temporary restraining order seeking to prevent the Charles Town Joint Venture from (a) entering into a wagering services contract with a party other than Amtote and (b) having a third party provide such wagering services, (iii) sought declaratory relief that certain contracts allegedly bind the Charles Town Joint Venture to retain Amtote for wagering services through September 2004 and (iv) seeks unspecified compensatory damages, legal fees and costs associated with the action and other legal and equitable relief as the Court deems just and appropriate. On December 24, 1997, a temporary restraining order was issued, which prescribed performance under the Third Party Wagering Contract. On February 20, 1998, the temporary restraining order was lifted by the court. The Company intends to pursue legal remedies in order to terminate Amtote and proceed under the Third Party Wagering Services Contract. The Company believes that this action, and any resolution thereof, will not have any material adverse impact upon its financial condition, results, or the operations of either the Charles Town Joint Venture or the Company.

As of March 19, 1999, there were 738 holders of record of Common Stock. DIVIDEND POLICY Since the Company's initial public offering of Common Stock in May 1994, the Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock. The Company intends to retain all of its earnings to finance the development of the Company's business, and thus, does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its Common Stock for the foreseeable future. Payment of any cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, operations, capital requirements, the general financial condition of the Company and general business conditions. Moreover, the Company's existing credit facility (the "Credit Facility") prohibits the Company from authorizing, declaring or paying any dividends until the Company's commitments under the Credit Facility have been terminated and all amounts outstanding thereunder have been repaid. In addition, future bank financing may prohibit the payment of dividends under certain conditions. 18

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The Company's pari-mutuel revenues have been derived from (i) wagering on the Company's live races (a) at the Company's racetracks, (b) at the Company's OTWs, (c) at other Pennsylvania racetracks and OTWs and (d) through telephone wagering, as well as wagering at the Company's racetracks on certain stakes races run at out-of-state racetracks (collectively, referred to in the Company's financial statements as "pari-mutuel revenues from live races"), (ii) wagering on full-card import simulcasts at the Company's racetracks and OTWs and through telephone wagering (collectively, referred to in the Company's financial statements as "pari-mutuel revenues from import simulcasting") and (iii) fees from wagering on export simulcasting Company races at out-of-state locations (referred to in the Company's financial statements as "pari-mutuel revenues from export simulcasting"). The Company's other revenues have been derived from admissions, program sales and certain other ancillary activities, food and beverage sales and concessions and, beginning in September 1997, gaming machines. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth certain data from the Consolidated Statements of Income of the Company as a percentage of total revenues: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 ----------------------------- 1996 1997 1998 ----------------------------- INCOME STATEMENT DATA Revenue Pari-mutuel revenues Live races 29.8% 24.8% 17.5% Import simulcasting 52.5 53.6 44.2 Export simulcasting 5.3 4.7 3.8 Gaming revenue - 5.1 24.3 Admissions, programs and other racing revenue 7.0 5.1 4.1 Concessions revenues 5.4 6.7 6.2 ----------------------------- Total revenues 100.0 100.0 100.0 ----------------------------- Operating expenses Purses, stakes, and trophies 20.5 20.0 18.9 Direct salaries, payroll taxes and employee benefits 13.8 14.5 12.4 Simulcast expenses 14.7 11.7 9.0 Pari-mutuel taxes 8.5 8.5 6.0 Lottery taxes and administration - 1.7 9.6 Other direct meeting expenses 13.6 16.2 15.6 Concessions expenses 3.7 5.0 5.1 Other operating expenses 7.9 7.8 7.0 Depreciation and amortization 2.3 3.6 3.7 Site development and restructuring changes - 2.2 - ----------------------------- Total operating expenses 84.9 91.3 87.4 ----------------------------- Income from operations 15.1 8.7 12.6 ----------------------------- Total other (expenses) (0.2) (3.3) (4.8) ----------------------------- Income before income taxes and extraordinary item 14.9 5.4 7.8 ============================= Net income 8.8% 2.1% 4.9% ============================= 21
Year Ended December 31, 1998 compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997 Total revenue increased by approximately $42.5 million or 38.1% from $111.5 million in 1997 to $154.1 million in 1998. Charles Town Races, which was purchased in January of 1997 and began racing operations on April 30, 1997 and video lottery machine operations on September 10, 1997, accounted for $40.4 million of the increase. Revenues from video lottery machines increased by $31.7 million as a result of a full year of operations in 1998 compared to three and one-half months of operations in 1997. Racing revenues increased by $6.2 million due to a racing season of 206 live race days at the Charles Town Races in 1998 compared to 159 live races days in 1997 and the opening of the new simulcast-racing center in January 1998. Concession revenues increased by $2.2 million due to the increased attendance and the opening of the new buffet dining area during the year. At Penn National Race Course and its OTW facilities, revenues increased at the track ($.3 million) due to an increase in on-track wagering and export simulcast wagering and the purchase and opening of the Johnstown OTW ($.9 million) on September 1, 1998. The increases were offset by a decrease in revenues at Chambersburg OTW ($.6 million) due to the opening of the Charles Town Facility, Reading OTW ($.3 million) and York OTW ($.3 million). Revenues at Pocono Downs and its OTW facilities resulted in a net increase of $2.1 million primarily due to the opening of new facilities in Hazleton ($2.2 million) and Carbondale ($2.4 million). This was offset by a decrease at the Pocono Downs racetrack ($2.1 million) due to the proximity of the two new OTW facilities and decreases at Allentown OTW ($.3 million) and Erie OTW ($.2 million). Total operating expenses increased by approximately $32.8 million or 32.2% from $101.8 million in 1997 to $134.6 million in 1998. Charles Town Races accounted for $32.6 million of the increase due primarily to the video lottery operations ($24.7 million), racing operations ($5.9 million) and concession operations ($2.1 million). Penn National Race Course and its OTW facilities had a net decrease in operating expenses of $.6 million due to an increase in expenses at the new Johnstown OTW ($.8 million) offset by a decrease in operating expenses at the racetrack and other OTW facilities ($1.4 million). Pocono Downs and its OTW facilities had a net increase in operating expenses of $.9 million due to the opening of Hazleton OTW ($1.9 million) and Carbondale OTW ($1.8 million). The increase was offset by a decrease in operating expenses at the Pocono Downs racetrack ($1.8 million), Allentown OTW ($.6 million) and Erie OTW ($.4 million). Corporate expenses increased by $.6 million due to the hiring of additional staff for OTW facility management, human resource management and the leasing of additional office space. Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.7 million due primarily to depreciation associated with new facilities for Charles Town Gaming (September 1997), Charles Town Simulcast Center (January 1998), Hazleton and Carbondale OTW facilities (March 1998) and Johnstown OTW (September 1998). Site development and restructuring expenses were $2.4 million in 1997. Income from operations increased by approximately $9.7 million or 100.0 % from $9.7 million in 1997 to $19.5 million in 1998 due to the factors described above. Other expenses increased by approximately $3.8 million or 105.6% from $3.6 million in 1997 to $7.4 million in 1998. Net interest expense increased by $3.9 million (primarily due to the 10.625% Senior Notes issued December 1997). Other income in 1998 of $113,000 consisted of a gain on the sale of Casino Magic Corporation stock of $148,000 offset by a write-off of deferred financing cost on the repurchase of the Company's 10.625% Senior Notes. Taxes on income increased by approximately $2.2 million from $2.3 million in 1997 to $4.5 million in 1998, due to the increase in income for the year. The extraordinary item in 1997 consisted of a loss on the early extinquishment of debt in the amount of $1,482,000, net of income taxes. The loss consists primarily of write-offs of deferred finance costs associated with the retired bank notes and legal and bank fees relating to the early extinquishment of the debt. Net income increased by approximately $5.2 million from $2.3 million in 1997 to $7.5 million in 1998 due to the factors described above. 22
Year Ended December 31, 1997 compared to Year Ended December 31, 1996 Total revenue increased by approximately $48.7 million, or 77.5%, from $62.8 million in 1996 to $111.5 million in 1997. Pocono Downs, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 1996 under the purchase method, accounted for $30.8 million of the increase. Charles Town Races, which was purchased in January 1997, accounted for $16.5 million of the increase. The Company renovated and refurbished the Charles Town Entertainment Complex following its acquisition and commenced racing operations on April 30, 1997 and gaming machine operations, with a soft opening, on September 10, 1997. The remaining revenue increase of $1.4 million was primarily due to an increase of approximately $6.2 million associated with the opening of the Penn National OTW facility in Williamsport in February 1997, a full year of operations at the Lancaster OTW facility, and increased export of the Penn National Race Course live signal. This increase was offset by a decrease in revenues of approximately $4.2 million at the Company's OTW facilities in Reading and York. Management believes that the decrease in revenues at these facilities was primarily due to the opening of a competitor's OTW facility and the opening of the Company's Lancaster OTW facility in July 1996. The Company also had a decrease in revenues of $.6 million due to the closing of Penn National Speedway at the end of the 1996 season. Total operating expenses increased by approximately $48.4 million, or 90.7%, from $53.4 million in 1996 to $101.8 million in 1997. Pocono Downs and Charles Town Races, which the Company did not operate in the corresponding prior period, accounted for $25.5 million and $17.5 million of this increase, respectively. Operating expenses also increased by $5.4 million primarily due to an increase of $4.4 million associated with the opening of the Company's new OTW facility in Williamsport in February 1997, and a full year of operations at the Lancaster OTW facility. This increase was offset by a decrease in operating expenses of approximately $1.9 million at the Penn National Race Course facility and at the Company's OTW facilities in Reading and York associated with lower revenues at those facilities. The increase in corporate expenses of $1.4 million was due to increased personnel, office space and other administrative expense necessary to support the expansion of the Company. The Company also incurred site development and restructuring charges in the amount of $2.4 million. The site development charges ($1.7 million) consist of $800,000 related to the Charles Town Races Facility and $935,000 related to the abandonment of certain proposed operating in 1997. The restructuring charges primarily consist of $350,000 in severance termination benefits and other charges at the Charles Town Races facility, $300,000 for the restructuring of the Erie, Pennsylvania OTW facility and $52,000 of property and equipment written-off in connection with the discontinuation of Penn National Speedway, Inc. operations during 1997. The Company also had a decrease in expenses of $.9 million due to the closing of Penn National Speedway at the end of the 1996 season. Income from operations increased by approximately $275,000, or 2.9%, from $9.5 million in 1996 to $9.7 million in 1997 due to the factors described above. The Company had other expenses of approximately $3.7 million in 1997 compared to $156,000 in 1996, primarily as a result of increased interest expense. The increase in interest expense is due to the company incurring bank debt for the purchase of Pocono Downs and Charles Town Races, renovations to the Charles Town Facility and the issuance of 10.625% Senior Notes on December 12, 1997 to repay existing bank debt. The extraordinary item consisted of a loss on the early extinquishment of debt in the amount of $1,482,000, net of income taxes. The loss consists primarily of write-offs of deferred financing costs associated with the retired bank notes and legal and bank fees relating to the early extinquishment of the debt. Net income decreased by approximately $3.2 million or 58.5%, from $5.5 million in 1996 to $2.3 million in 1997 based on the factors described above. Income taxes decreased by $1.5 million from $3.8 million in 1996 to $2.3 million in 1997 as a result of the decrease in income for the year. 23
Liquidity and Capital Resources Historically, the Company's primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have been cash flow from operations, borrowings from banks and proceeds from issuance of equity securities. Net cash provided from operating activities was $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. This consisted of net income and non-cash expenses ($13.6 million), an increase in accounts receivable ($1.6 million) due from other tracks, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to the completion of construction at Charles Town ($2.6 million), an increase in purses due horsemen ($.9 million) a decrease in prepaid income taxes ($2.1 million) and other changes in certain assets and liabilities ($.5 million). Cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 1998 ($22.3 million) consisted of renovation and refurbishment of the Charles Town facility and racetrack ($1.1 million), completion of the Hazleton and Carbondale OTW facilities ($3.2 million), the purchase of the Johnstown OTW facility ($1.3 million), the purchase of the GTECH video lottery machines and central monitoring system ($12.9 million) and $3.8 million in capital expenditures at other facilities. Net cash flows used in financing activities was approximately $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The Company purchased 424,700 shares of the Company's common stock ($2.4 million) and $11.0 million of the Company's 10.625% Senior Notes at 97.25% during the year. In November 1998, the Company borrowed $9.0 million under its Credit Facility to buy the GTECH video lottery machines and central monitoring system. The Company is subject to possible liabilities arising from the environmental condition at the landfill adjacent to Pocono Downs. Specifically, the Company may incur expenses in connection with the landfill in the future, which expenses may not be reimbursed by the four municipalities, which are parties to the settlement agreement. The Company is unable to estimate the amount, if any, that it may be required to expend. See ITEM 2 -"PROPERTIES". In the first quarter of 1999, the Company anticipates a one time material loss associated with the actions by the Pennsylvania Thoroughbred Horsemen on February 16, 1999 that resulted in the closing of Penn National Race Course and its six OTW facilities at Reading, Chambersburg, York, Lancaster, Williamsport and Johnstown, from February 16, 1999 through March 24, 1999. At this time the Company has insufficient information to reasonably quantify the amount of the loss. Also in 1999, the Company anticipates spending approximately $9.0 million on capital expenditures at its racetrack and OTW facilities. The Company anticipates expending approximately $5.0 million at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex for player tracking ($1.5 million), new video slot machines ($.8 million), interior renovations ($.4 million), machinery and equipment ($.7 million) and other projects including design and planning for a new motel ($1.6 million). The Company also plans to spend approximately $578,000 at Pocono Downs, $645,000 at Penn National, $295,000 at the OTW facilities for building improvements and equipment and $2.0 million on building improvements and equipment for its new OTW facility in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. If the State of Tennessee reinstates the Tennessee Commission and the Company's racing license or if the racing industry is regulated under another government agency, the Company anticipates expending an additional $9.0 million to complete the first phase of the Tennessee project. The Company entered into its Credit Facility with Bankers Trust Company, as Agent in 1996. This Credit Facility was amended and restated on January 29, 1999 with First Union National Bank replacing Bankers Trust Company, as Agent. The amended Credit Facility provides for, subject to certain terms and conditions, a $20.0 million revolving credit facility, a $5.0 million term loan due in one year, a $3.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit and has a four-year term from its closing. The Credit Facility, under certain circumstances, requires the Company to make mandatory prepayments and commitment reductions and to comply with certain covenants, including financial ratios and maintenance tests. In addition, the Company may make optional prepayments and commitment reductions pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will accrue interest, at the option of the Company, at 24
either a base rate plus an applicable margin of up to 2.0% or a eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin of up to 3.0%. The Credit Facility is secured by the assets of the Company and contains certain financial ratios and maintenance tests. On December 31, 1998, the Company was in compliance with all applicable ratios. The Company currently estimates that the cash generated from operations and available borrowings under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to finance its current operations, planned capital expenditure requirements, and the costs associated with first phase of the Tennessee development project. The Company intends to fund its portion of the Joint Venture with Greenwood New Jersey, Inc. (up to $28.75 million) from cash on hand, available credit lines and other financing. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will not be required to seek additional capital, in addition to that available from the foregoing sources. The Company may, from time to time, seek additional funding through public or private financing, including equity financing. There can be no assurance that adequate funding will be available as needed or, if available, on terms acceptable to the Company. Year 2000 Compliance The "Year 2000 issue" is typically the result of software and hardware being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. If the Company's software and hardware with date-sensitive functions are not Year 2000 compliant, these systems may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, interruptions in pari-mutuel wagering or the inability to operate the Company's video lottery machines. The Company, has been and is currently conducting a review of all systems and contacting all software suppliers to determine major areas of exposure to Year 2000 issues. The Company believes that, with minor modifications and testing of its systems, the Year 2000 issue will not pose a significant operations problem. The Company is using its internal resources to reprogram or replace and test its software for Year 2000 modifications. If the Company is unable to make the required modifications to existing software or convert to new software in a timely manner, the Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse impact on the Company's operations. The Company has initiated formal communication with significant suppliers and third party vendors to determine the extent to which the Company's operations are vulnerable to those third parties failure to remediate their own Year 2000 hardware and software issues. Most of these parties state that they intend to be Year 2000 compliant by 2000. In the event that any of the Company's significant suppliers are unable to become Year 2000 compliant, the Company's business or operations could be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that the systems of other companies on which the Company relies will be compliant by the year 2000 and would not have an adverse effect on operations. The Company does not expect the total cost associated with required modifications to become Year 2000 compliant to be material to its financial position. The Company has not yet fully developed a comprehensive contingency plan addressing situations that may result if the Company is unable to achieve Year 2000 readiness of its critical operations. Contingency plan development is in process and the Company expects to finalize its plan during the remainder of 1999. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to develop a contingency plan that will adequately address issues that may arise in the year 2000. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. All of the Company's debt obligations at December 31, 1998 were fixed rate obligations, and Management, therefore, does not believe that the Company has any material market risk from its debt obligations. 25

1. Summary of Basis of Presentation Significant Accounting The consolidated financial statements Policies include the accounts of Penn National Gaming, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior years' amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1998 presentation. Description of Business The Company provides pari-mutuel wagering opportunities on both live and simulcast thoroughbred and harness horse races at two racetracks and ten off-track wagering facilities ("OTWs") located in Pennsylvania and pari-mutuel wagering opportunities and video gaming machines at Charles Town Races, the Company's Charles Town, West Virginia thoroughbred racetrack. In March 1998, the Company opened OTW facilities in Hazleton and Carbondale, Pennsylvania and acquired its tenth OTW facility in Johnstown, Pennsylvania from Ladbroke Racing Management-Pennsylvania ("Ladbroke") in September 1998. The Company's sole operating segment is gaming activities. At each of its three racetracks, the Company conducts pari-mutuel wagering on thoroughbred and harness races from the Company's racetracks and simulcasts from other racetracks. The Company also simulcasts its Penn National Race Course and Pocono Downs races for wagering at other racetracks and OTWs, including all Pennsylvania racetracks and OTWs and locations outside Pennsylvania. Wagering on Penn National Race Course and Pocono Downs races and races simulcast from other racetracks also occurs through the Company's Pennsylvania racetracks' telephone account betting network. Glossary of Terminology The following is a listing of terminology used throughout the financial statements: The Company's racetracks - Penn National Race Course near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Pocono Downs near Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and Charles Town Races in Charles Town, West Virginia. Gaming machines - Video lottery terminal gaming machines. OTW - Off-track wagering location. Pari-mutuel wagering - All wagering at the Company's racetracks, at the Company's OTWs and all wagering on the Company's races at other racetracks and OTWs. Telebet - Telephone account wagering. Totalisator services - Computer services provided to the Company by various totalisator companies for processing pari-mutuel betting odds and wagering proceeds. 35
Pari-mutuel revenues: Live races - The Company's share of pari-mutuel wagering on live races within Pennsylvania and West Virginia and certain stakes races from racetracks outside of Pennsylvania and West Virginia after payment of the amount returned as winning wagers. Import simulcasting - The Company's share of wagering at the Company's racetracks, at the Company's OTWs and by Telebet on full cards of races simulcast from other racetracks. Export simulcasting - The Company's share of wagering at out-of-state locations on live races conducted by the Company. Gaming revenue - The Company's share of net winnings from gaming wins and losses. A summary of pari-mutuel wagering for the periods indicated is as follows: Year ended December 31, 1996 1997 1998 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) Pari-mutuel wagering on the Company's live races $ 89,327 $ 128,090 $ 122,686 Pari-mutuel wagering on simulcasting Import simulcasting from other racetracks 170,814 298,459 336,191 Export simulcasting to out of Pennsylvania wagering facilities 112,871 176,287 194,772 -------------------------------------------- Total pari-mutuel wagering $ 373,012 $ 602,836 $ 653,649 Racing Meet The racing seasons, under the management of the Company, for the past three years consisted of the following number of live race days: Year ended December 31, 1996 1997 1998 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Penn National Race Course 206 212 206 Pocono Downs -- 134 135 Charles Town Races -- 159 206 Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of leasehold improvements are computed by the straight-line method at rates adequate to allocate the cost of applicable assets over their estimated useful 36
lives. Depreciation and amortization for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 amounted to $1,301,000, $3,193,000 and $4,705,000, respectively. The excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired is being amortized on the straight-line method over a forty-year period. Amortization expense for 1996, 1997 and 1998 amounted to $98,000, $578,000 and $613,000, respectively. The Company evaluates the recoverability of the goodwill quarterly, or more frequently whenever events and circumstances warrant revised estimates and considers whether the goodwill should be completely or partially written off or the amortization period accelerated. The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived and identifiable intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable based on undiscounted estimated future operating cash flows. As of December 31, 1998, the Company has determined that no impairment has occurred. Deferred financing costs are charged to operations over the life of the underlying indebtedness. Amortization of deferred financing costs for 1996, 1997 and 1998 amounted to $34,000, $269,000 and $430,000, respectively. Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Customer Deposits Customer deposits represent amounts held by the Company for telephone wagering. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all cash balances and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Net Income Per Common Share Basic net income per share includes no dilution and is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive net income per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the net income of the Company which consist of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs which are incurred by the Company in connection with debt are charged to operations over the life of the underlying indebtedness using the interest method, adjusted to give effect to any early repayments. 37
Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company's policy is to limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution and place investments with financial institutions evaluated as being creditworthy, or in short-term money market and tax-free bond funds which are exposed to minimal interest rate and credit risk. At December 31, 1998, the Company had bank deposits which exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $3,298,000 and money market and tax-free bond funds of approximately $975,000. Concentration of credit risk, with respect to accounts receivable, is limited due to the Company's credit evaluation process. The Company does not require collateral from its customers. The Company's receivables consist principally of amounts due from other racetracks and OTWs. Historically, the Company has not incurred any significant credit-related losses. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate. Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amount approximates the fair value due to the short maturity of the cash equivalents. Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations: The fair value of the Company's long-term debt and capital lease obligations is estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. The carrying amount approximates fair value since the Company's interest rates approximate current interest rates. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses at the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of the fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 and establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair market value. Presently, the Company does not use derivative instruments either in hedging activities or as investments. Accordingly, the Company believes that adoption of SFAS 133 will have no impact on its financial position or results of operations. 38
The Company has no comprehensive income items as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Comprehensive Income". 2. Acquisitions Pocono Downs Acquisition On November 27, 1996, the Company purchased all of the capital stock of The Plains Company and the limited partnership interests in The Plains Company's affiliated entities (together, "Pocono Downs") for an aggregate purchase price of $48.2 million plus acquisition-related fees and expenses of $730,000. Pocono Downs conducts live harness racing at the harness racetrack located outside Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, export simulcasting of Pocono Downs races to locations throughout the United States, pari-mutuel wagering at Pocono Downs and at OTWs in Allentown, Erie, Carbondale and Hazleton, Pennsylvania on Pocono Downs races and on import simulcast races from other racetracks, and telephone account wagering on live and import simulcast races. The Pocono Downs acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, a portion of the purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The balance of the purchase price was recorded at cost over net assets acquired as goodwill, approximately $10.4 million, and is being amortized over forty years on a straight-line basis. The Company recorded an additional increase to goodwill of approximately $9.7 million and a corresponding increase to a deferred tax liability, representing the difference between the financial and tax bases of certain assets acquired. The results of operations of Pocono Downs have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the effective date of the acquisition. The Company used its credit facility (see Note 3) and cash of Pocono Downs to fund the acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of the Pocono Downs purchase agreement, the Company will be required to pay the sellers of Pocono Downs an additional $10 million if, within five years after the consummation of the Pocono Downs acquisition, Pennsylvania authorizes any additional form of gaming in which the Company may participate. The $10 million payment would be payable in annual installments of $2 million for five years, beginning on the date that the Company first offers such additional form of gaming. Charles Town Acquisition On February 26, 1996, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement (the "Charles Town Joint Venture") with Bryant Development Company and its affiliates ("Bryant"), the holder of an option to purchase substantially all of the assets of Charles Town Racing Limited Partnership and Charles Town Races, Inc. (together, "Charles Town") relating to the Charles Town Race Track and Shenandoah Downs (together, the "Charles Town Entertainment Complex") in Jefferson County, West Virginia. In connection with the Charles Town Joint Venture agreement, Bryant assigned the option to the Charles Town Joint Venture. In November 1996, the Charles Town Joint Venture and Charles Town entered into an amended and restated option agreement. On November 5, 1996, Jefferson County, West Virginia approved a referendum permitting installation of gaming machines at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex. On January 15, 1997, the Charles Town Joint Venture acquired substantially all of the assets of Charles Town for approximately $16.0 million plus acquisition-related fees and expenses of approximately $2.2 million. Pursuant to the original operating agreement governing the Charles Town Joint Venture, the 39
Company held an 80% ownership interest in the Charles Town Joint Venture and was obligated to contribute 80% of the purchase price of the Charles Town acquisition and 80% of the cost of refurbishing the Charles Town Entertainment Complex. In consideration of the fact that the Company contributed 100% of the purchase price of the Charles Town acquisition and 100% of the cost of refurbishing the Charles Town Entertainment Complex, the Company amended its operating agreement with Bryant to, among other things, increase the Company's ownership interest in the Charles Town Joint Venture to 89% and decrease Bryant's interest to 11%. In addition, the amendment provided that the entire amount the Company has contributed to the Charles Town Joint Venture for the acquisition and refurbishment of the Charles Town Entertainment Complex would be treated, as between the parties, as a loan to the Charles Town Joint Venture from the Company. Accordingly, prior to the distribution of any future profits pursuant to the Charles Town Joint Venture, the Company must be repaid in full all such contributions or loans, plus accrued interest, which as of December 31, 1998 amounted to $52.0 million. Bryant had acquired its option from Showboat Operating Company ("Showboat"). Showboat has retained an option (the "Showboat Option") to operate any casino at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex in return for a management fee (to be negotiated at the time, based on rates payable for similar properties) and a right of first refusal to purchase or lease the site of any casino at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex proposed to be leased or sold and to purchase any interest proposed to be sold in any such casino on the same terms offered by a third party or otherwise negotiated with the Charles Town Joint Venture. The rights retained by Showboat under the Showboat Option extend for a period of five years from November 6, 1996, the date that the Charles Town Joint Venture exercised its option to purchase the Charles Town Races, and expires thereafter unless legislation to permit casino gaming at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex has been adopted prior to the end of the five-year period. If such legislation has been adopted prior to such time, then the rights of Showboat continue for a reasonable time (not less than 24 months) to permit completion of negotiations. While the express terms of the Showboat Option do not specify which activities at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex would constitute operation of a casino, Showboat has agreed that the installation and operation of gaming devices linked to the lottery (like the gaming machines the Company has installed and will continue to install) at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex's racetrack would not trigger Showboat's right to exercise the Showboat Option. The Charles Town Joint Venture refurbished and reopened the Charles Town Entertainment Complex as an entertainment complex that features live racing, dining, simulcast wagering and, effective September 1997, the operation of gaming machines. The cost of the refurbishment was approximately $27.8 million inclusive of $614,000 of capitalized interest and exclusive of the costs of the gaming machines. The Charles Town acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, a portion of the purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The balance of the purchase price was recorded as cost over net assets acquired as goodwill, approximately $1.7 million, and is being 40
amortized over forty years on a straight-line basis. The Company used its credit facility (see Note 3) and cash from operations to fund the acquisition. The results of operations of Charles Town have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since January 15, 1997, the effective date of the acquisition. 3. Long-Term Debt Long-term debt and capital lease obligations are as and Capital Lease follows: Obligations December 31, 1997 1998 -------------------------- (In thousands) Long-term debt $80 million Senior Notes, due December 15, 2004 with interest at 10.625% per annum payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15, commencing June 15, 1998. The notes are unsecured and are unconditionally guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company $ 80,000 $ 69,000 Revolving credit facility payable to a bank group (see additional information below under Credit Facilities) -- 9,000 Other notes payable 279 246 Capital lease obligations 57 10 -------------------------- 80,336 78,256 Less current maturities 204 168 -------------------------- $ 80,132 $ 78,088 -------------------------- Credit Facilities At December 31, 1998, the Company was contingently obligated under letters of credit with face amounts aggregating $1,886,000. These amounts consisted of $1,786,000 relating to the horsemens' account balances and $100,000 for Pennsylvania pari-mutuel taxes. In November 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank group which provides an aggregate of $75 million of credit facilities, which included a $5 million revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). Simultaneously with the closing of the Credit Facility, the Company repaid amounts outstanding under its old credit facility and replaced it. The Credit Facility consisted of two term loan facilities of $47 million and $23 million (together, the "Term Loans") which were used for the Pocono Downs and Charles Town acquisitions, respectively, and which were used for a portion of the cost of refurbishment of the Charles Town Entertainment Complex, and a revolving credit facility of $5 million (together, the "Loans"). The Term Loans were repaid in December 1997 with the proceeds of the Company's debt offering. See "Debt Offering" hereinafter. At such time, the Credit Facility was amended and restated to provide for a $12 million revolving credit facility, 41
including a $3 million sublimit for standby letters of credit, which matures in December 2002. On January 28, 1999, the Company entered into a second amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility, as amended, provides for a $20 million revolving credit facility, including a $3 million sublimit for standby letters of credit and a $5 million term loan. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, as amended, the Company borrowed an additional $11.5 million, of which $11.2 million of the proceeds was used to finance its share of the New Jersey Joint Venture (see Note 4). The revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, except for the assets of the Charles Town facility. The revolving credit facility provides for certain covenants, including those of a financial nature. At the Company's option, the revolving facility may bear interest at the highest of: (1) 1/2 of 1% in excess of the federal reserve reported certificate of deposit rate, (2) the rate that the bank group announces from time to time as its prime lending rate and (3) 1/2 of 1% in excess of the federal funds rate plus an applicable margin of up to 2% or the revolving facility may also bear interest at a rate tied to a eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin of up to 3%. The outstanding amount under this credit facility as of December 31, 1998 was $9.0 million at an interest rate of 7.8125%. Mandatory repayments of the revolving facility are required in an amount equal to a percentage of the net cash proceeds from any issuance or incurrence of equity or funded debt by the Company, that percentage to be dependent upon the then outstanding balance of the revolving facility and the Company's leverage ratio. Mandatory repayments of varying percentages are also required in the event of either asset sales in excess of stipulated amounts or defined excess cash flow. Debt Offering On December 12, 1997, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (as guarantors) entered into a purchase agreement for the sale and issuance of $80,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 10.625% Senior Notes due 2004 (the "Offering"). The net proceeds of the Offering were used for repayment of existing indebtedness, for capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes. Interest on the notes will accrue from their date of original issuance (the "Issue Date") and will be payable semi-annually, commencing in 1998. The notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company in 2001 or thereafter at the redemption prices set forth in the Offering, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The notes are general unsecured senior obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment to any existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company and senior in right of payment with all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The notes are unconditionally guaranteed (the "Guarantees") on a senior basis by certain of the Company's existing subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). The Guarantees are general unsecured obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors and rank equally in right of payment to any unsubordinated indebtedness of 42
the Subsidiary Guarantors and rank senior in right of payment to all other subordinated obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors. The notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all secured indebtedness of the Company, including indebtedness incurred under the amended $20 million revolving credit facility. On September 3, 1998, the Company repurchased $11 million of the 10.625% Senior Notes due 2004 at 97.25% of the principal amount ($10,697,500) plus accrued interest of $253,229 in public market trading. In conjunction with the repurchase of the notes, the Company recorded a write-off of deferred financing costs associated with this portion of the long-term debt. The extinguishment of these notes did not result in any material net loss. The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under capitalized leases and repayments of long-term debt as of December 31, 1998: Term Loans and Capitalized Notes December 31, Leases Payable Total --------------------------------------- (In thousands) 1999 $ 10 $ 158 $ 168 2000 -- 34 34 2001 -- 37 37 2002 -- 9,017 9,017 2003 -- -- -- Thereafter -- 69,000 69,000 --------------------------------------- Total minimum payments 10 78,246 78,256 Less interest discount amount -- -- -- --------------------------------------- Total present value of net minimum lease payments and total notes payable 10 78,246 78,256 Current maturities 10 158 168 --------------------------------------- Total noncurrent maturities $ -- $ 78,088 $ 78,088 --------------------------------------- On February 18, 1997, the Company completed a secondary public offering of 1,725,000 shares of common stock and used $19 million of the $23 million proceeds therefrom to reduce the then outstanding Term Loan amounts (see Note 7). 4. Commitments Operating Agreements and Contingencies In November 1997, the Company signed a new Totalisator services and equipment agreement for all of its subsidiaries. The agreement is for five years, expiring on March 31, 2003. The new agreement provides for annual payments based on a specified percentage of the total amount wagered at the Company's facilities with a minimum annual payment of $1,475,000. The Company is also liable under numerous operating leases for automobiles, other equipment and buildings, which expire through 2004. Total rental expense under these agreements was $1,001,000, $807,000 and $1,169,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. 43
The future lease commitments relating to noncancelable operating leases as of December 31, 1998 are as follows: (In thousands) 1999 $ 1,369 2000 1,370 2001 1,286 2002 1,052 2003 957 Thereafter 2,339 ------------- $ 8,373 ------------- In June 1997, the Charles Town Joint Venture, which is operated as PNGI Charles Town Gaming, LLC, an 89% subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement (the "GTECH Agreement") with GTECH relating to the lease, installation and service of a video lottery system ("VLS") at the Charles Town Entertainment Complex. The GTECH Agreement included a minimum annual fee of $4.3 million if more than 799 gaming machines were placed in operation. Due to significant economic benefits to the Company, on November 18, 1998 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase GTECH's assets and rights related to the provision of gaming technology at Charles Town Races. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company assumed the ownership and operation of the 799 gaming machines and the central monitoring system for consideration of $12.9 million. Employment and Consulting Agreements The Company has employment agreements with its Chairman and Chief Financial Officer at annual base salaries of $225,000 and $95,000, respectively. The agreements became effective June 1, 1994 and, as amended, terminate on June 30, 1999. Each agreement prohibits the employee from competing with the Company during its term and for one year thereafter, and requires a death benefit payment by the Company equal to 50% of the employee's annual salary in effect at the time of death. The Company signed a consulting agreement with its former Chairman expiring in August 1999 at an annual payment of $125,000. On July 1, 1998, the consulting agreement was amended to increase the annual payment to $135,000. The Company has an employment agreement with its President and Chief Operating Officer at an annual base salary of $210,000. The agreement was to terminate on June 12, 1998, but has been extended until June 12, 1999. The agreement prohibits the employee from competing with the Company during its term and for two years thereafter, and requires a death benefit payment by the Company equal to 50% of the employee's annual salary in effect at the time of his death. The Company has two profit sharing plans under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, The Penn National Gaming, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the Penn National 401(k) Plan") and the Pocono Downs, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the "Pocono Downs 401(k) Plan"), that cover all eligible employees who are not members of a bargaining unit. Both plans enable employees choosing to participate to defer a portion of their salary in a retirement fund to be administered by the Company. The Company's 44
contributions to the Penn National 401(k) Plan are set at 50% of employees elective salary deferrals which may be made up to a maximum of 6% of employee compensation. The Company has no obligation to contribute to the Pocono Downs 401(k) plan. However, for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, the Company has made discretionary contributions to the Pocono Downs 401(k) Plan based upon a percentage of the employee elective deferrals which may be made up to a maximum of 15% of employee compensation. The Company made contributions to these plans of approximately $89,000, $145,000 and $172,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, respectively. Charles Town has a defined contribution plan covering substantially all of its employees. Charles Town makes monthly contributions equal to the amount accrued for retirement expense, which is calculated as .25% of the daily mutual handle and .5% of the net video lottery revenues. Total contributions for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 were $114,000 and $185,000, respectively. On December 31, 1998, the Company merged the Pocono Downs, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan into the Penn National Gaming, Inc. 401(k) Plan and spun off the assets into the non-bargaining unit employees in the Charles Town Races Future Services Retirement Plan and merged those assets into the Penn National 401(k) Plan. The results of the merger is that the Company operates the Penn National 401(k) Plan for all non-bargaining unit employees at all locations while the Charles Town Races Future Services Retirement Plan is for bargaining unit employees at the Charles Town facility. OTW and Operating Facilities On July 7, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with Ladbroke to purchase their Johnstown, Pennsylvania OTW facility. The agreement provided for a purchase price of $1,225,000 for the assignment of the facility lease and the sale of assets and was subject to numerous contingencies, including approval by the Pennsylvania State Horse Racing Commission. Approval for the sale and transfer of the Johnstown OTW was received from the Harness Racing Commission on August 14, 1998 and the Pennsylvania State Horse Racing Commission on August 20, 1998. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company sub-leased the facility from Ladbroke and operated the facility from September 1, 1998, the effective date of the agreement, through December 30, 1998, the closing date of the agreement, for $12,500 per month, at which time the Company assumed full rights and ownership of the facility. On July 14, 1998, the Company entered into a lease agreement for an OTW facility in East Stroudsburg. The lease is for approximately 14,000 square feet at the Eagle's Glen Shopping Plaza located in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. The initial term of the lease is for ten years with two additional five-year renewal options available. The agreement is subject to numerous contingencies, including approval by the Harness Racing Commission. On November 6, 1998, the Company submitted its application for such approval. If approved by the Harness Racing Commission, the Company expects to spend approximately $2 million to have the facility constructed and operational by the end of 1999. The Company is subject to possible liabilities arising from environmental conditions at the landfill adjacent to Pocono Downs Racetrack. Specifically, the Company may incur expenses in connection with the landfill in the future, which expenses may not be reimbursed by the four municipalities 45
which are parties to an existing settlement agreement. The Company is unable to estimate the amount, if any, that it may be required to expend. Potential Tennessee Development Project In June 1997, the Company acquired twelve one-month options to purchase approximately 100 acres of land in Memphis, Tennessee. Since such time, the Company, through its subsidiary, Tennessee Downs, Inc. ("Tennessee Downs"), has pursued the development of a harness track and simulcast facility, which is located in the northeastern section of Memphis (the "Tennessee Development Project"). The Company submitted an application to the Tennessee State Racing Commission (the "Tennessee Commission") in October 1997 for an initial license for the development and operation of a harness track and OTW facility at this site. A land use plan for the construction of a 5/8-mile harness track, clubhouse and grandstand area was approved in October 1997 by the Land Use Hearing Board for the City of Memphis and County of Shelby. Tennessee Downs was determined to be financially suitable by the Tennessee Commission and a public comment hearing before the Tennessee Commission was held in November 1997. In December 1997, the Company received the necessary zoning and land development approvals from the Memphis City Council. In April 1998, the Tennessee Commission granted a license to the Company, which would expire on the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2000 or (ii) the expiration of Tennessee Commission's term on June 30, 1998, if such term was not extended by the Tennessee Commission. On May 1, 1998, the Tennessee State Legislature voted against extending the life of the Tennessee Commission, allowing the Tennessee Commission's term to expire on June 30, 1998. The Tennessee Commission held a meeting on May 29, 1998 at which it rejected the Company's request: (i) to grant the Company an extended timeframe for the effectiveness of its racing license; (ii) for racing days for the period ending December 31, 2000; and (iii) to operate a temporary simulcast facility. On July 28, 1998, the Company filed for a preliminary injunction and a declaratory ruling on the legal status of racing in Memphis. On November 23, 1998, the court ruled that the Racing Control Act had not been repealed and cannot be repealed by implication by dissolving the Tennessee Commission. It is the opinion of the court that because the Racing Control Act is still in force, horse-racing and pari-mutuel betting is a legal unregulated activity in Tennessee. This opinion has been appealed by the Tennessee Attorney General. The Company intends to continue its efforts to develop and operate a harness track in Tennessee. Costs incurred as of December 31, 1998 regarding the Tennessee license amounted to $489,000 and are presented in prepaid expenses and other current assets. New Jersey Joint Venture On January 28, 1999, pursuant to a First Amendment to an Asset Purchase Agreement by, between and among Greenwood New Jersey, Inc. ("Greenwood"), International Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc., Garden State Race Track, Inc., Freehold Racing Association, Atlantic City Harness, Inc. and Circa 1850, Inc., the original parties to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into as of July 2, 1998, and the Company (the "Agreement"), and pursuant to which the Company entered into a joint venture ("Joint Venture"), the Company, along with its Joint Venture partner, Greenwood, agreed to purchase certain assets of the Garden State Race Track and Freehold Raceway, both located in New Jersey (the "Acquisition"). 46
The purchase price for the Acquisition is approximately $46 million (subject to reduction of up to approximately $1 million based upon the resolution of certain disputed items, for which amounts have been placed in escrow). The purchase price will consist of $23 million in cash and $23 million pursuant to two deferred purchase price promissory notes in the amount of $22 million and $1 million each. The Company is responsible for 50% of the purchase price. The parties to the Joint Venture are also contingently liable to the sellers in amounts not to exceed a total of $10 million, if the Joint Venture receives various approvals for off-track wagering or phone betting. The Joint Venture is contingent upon, among other things, the Company obtaining approvals necessary to effect the Joint Venture, which approvals include: (i) full and complete New Jersey regulatory approval (including but not limited to approval of the New Jersey Racing Commission); (ii) Hart Scott Rodino compliance; and (iii) the written consent of a majority of the holders of its $80 million Senior Notes issued December 17, 1997 to any necessary modification to the Indenture dated December 12, 1997 to permit the Company's investment in the Joint Venture. At the initial closing of the Acquisition on January 28, 1999, the Company loaned FR Park Racing, LP, a New Jersey limited partnership, $11,250,000 (at the Company's effective borrowing rate as specified in Note 3 under "Credit Facilities"), which is secured by certain assets. After obtaining the above approvals, the Company will invest an additional $11,750,000 into the Joint Venture with a portion of this amount being treated as capital and the balance as debt. The Company will have a 50% interest in the Joint Venture. 5.

Information Cash paid during the year for income taxes was $2,490,000, $3,649,000 and $4,207,000 in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Noncash investing and financing activities were as follows: During 1996, the Company purchased Pocono Downs for an aggregate purchase price of $47,320,000, net of cash acquired. In conjunction with the acquisition, liabilities were assumed as follows: Fair value of assets acquired, primarily property, plant and equipment $ 53,150,000 Cash paid for the capital stock and the limited partnership interests 47,320,000 ------------------ Liabilities assumed $ 5,830,000 ------------------ During 1996, the Company issued a $250,000 long-term note payable for the incurrence of prepaid Charles Town Acquisition costs. 48
7. Common Stock On February 18, 1997, the Company completed a secondary public offering of 1,725,000 shares of its common stock. The net proceeds of $23 million were used to reduce $19 million of the Term Loan amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility with the balance of the proceeds used to finance a portion of the cost of the refurbishment of the Charles Town Entertainment Complex (see Note 2 for Acquisitions). From August 21, 1998 to September 10, 1998, the Company purchased 424,700 shares of its common stock in public market trading. The total cost of these transactions was $2,378,465 or $5.60 per share average price. In April 1994, the Company's Board of Directors and shareholders adopted and approved the Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). On April 30, 1997, the shareholders and the Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of authorized shares underlying stock options to be granted from 1,290,000 to 2,000,000 shares. Therefore, the Plan permits the grant of options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to antidilution adjustments, at a price per share no less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date an option is granted with respect to incentive stock options only. The price would be no less than 110% of fair market value in the case of an incentive stock option granted to any individual who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock. The Plan provides for the granting of both incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and nonqualified stock options which do not so qualify. Unless the Plan is terminated earlier by the Board of Directors, the Plan will terminate in April 2004. Stock options that expire between August 20, 2000 and August 6, 2008 have been granted to officers and directors to purchase Common Stock at prices ranging from $3.33 to $17.63 per share. All options and warrants were granted at market prices at date of grant. The following table contains information on stock options issued under the Plan for the three-year period ended December 31, 1998: Exercise Option Price Range Average Shares Per Share Price ------------------------------------------------ Outstanding at January 1, 1996 810,000 $ 3.33 to 5.58 $ 3.82 Granted 280,000 5.63 to 17.63 12.99 Exercised (110,250) 3.33 3.33 ------------ Outstanding at December 31, 1996 979,750 3.33 to 17.63 9.10 Granted 100,000 11.50 to 16.63 15.59 Exercised (39,250) 3.33 to 5.63 4.01 ------------ 49

These options were issued at $17.63 per share and are exercisable through October 23, 2006. Exercisable at year-end: Exercise Weighted Option Price Range Average Shares Per Share Price ------------------------------------------------------ 1996 337,250 $ 3.33 to 17.63 $ 3.71 1997 653,833 3.33 to 17.63 7.08 1998 1,034,666 3.33 to 17.63 8.36 ------------------------------------------------------ Options available for future grant: 1994 Plan ------------- 1998 654,500 ------------- The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 1998: Ranges Total -------------------------- ---------- $3.33 $5.58 $3.33 Range of exercise prices to $5.50 to $17.63 to $17.63 -------------------------------------------- Outstanding options Number outstanding at December 31, 1998 637,250 847,250 1,484,500 Weighted average remaining contractual life (years) 4.84 6.51 5.79 Weighted average exercise price $ 3.84 $ 13.75 $ 9.50 Exercisable options Number outstanding at December 31, 1998 637,250 397,416 1,034,666 Weighted average exercise price $ 3.84 $ 15.61 $ 8.36 Warrants outstanding have been granted to the underwriters of the Company's initial public offering at a price of $4.00 per share which expire on June 2, 1999. 50
A summary of the warrant transactions follows: Exercise Price Weighted Warrant Range Average Shares Per Share Price --------------------------------------------- Warrants outstanding at January 1, 1996 495,000 $ 4.00 $ 4.00 Warrants exercised (300,000) 4.00 4.00 ------------ Warrants outstanding at December 31, 1996 195,000 4.00 4.00 Warrants exercised (43,000) 4.00 4.00 ------------ Warrants outstanding at December 31, 1997 152,000 4.00 4.00 Warrants exercised (3,000) 4.00 4.00 ------------ Warrants outstanding at December 31, 1998 149,000 4.00 4.00 ------------ During 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), which has recognition provisions that establish a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans and established fair value as the measurement basis for transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services from nonemployees in exchange for equity instruments. SFAS 123 also has certain disclosure provisions. Adoption of the recognition provisions of SFAS 123 with regard to these transactions with nonemployees was required for all such transactions entered into after December 15, 1994, and the Company adopted these provisions as required. The recognition provision with regard to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans is optional. Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employers" ("APB 25"), uses what is referred to as an intrinsic value based method of accounting. The Company has decided to continue to apply APB 25 for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized. Had compensation cost for the Company's employee stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards under the plan consistent with the method of SFAS 123, the Company's net income and net income per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below: 51
Year ended December 31, 1996 1997 1998 --------------------------------------------- Net income As reported $ 5,510,000 $ 2,287,000 $ 7,503,000 Pro forma 5,344,000 1,660,000 6,827,000 Basic net income per share As reported $ .41 $ .15 $ .50 Pro forma .40 .11 .45 Diluted net income per share As reported $ .40 $ .15 $ .49 Pro forma .39 .11 .44 The fair value of each option and warrant grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 1996, 1997 and 1998: dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 20%; risk-free interest rate of 6%; and expected lives of five years. The effects of applying SFAS 123 in this pro forma disclosure are not indicative of future amounts. SFAS 123 does not apply to awards prior to 1995. Additional awards in future years are anticipated. 8. Shareholder On May 20, 1998, the Board of Directors Rights Plan of the Company authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one Preferred Stock purchase right (the "Rights") for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Shares"), payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 19, 1999. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share (a "Preferred Stock Fraction"), or a combination of securities and assets of equivalent value, at a purchase price of $40.00 per Preferred Stock Fraction (the "Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") dated March 2, 1999 between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company as Rights Agent. All terms not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Rights Agreement. The Rights will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires 15% or more of the Company's common stock (the "Stock Acquisition Date"), announces a tender or exchange offer that will result in such person or group acquiring 20% or more of the outstanding common stock or is a beneficial owner of a substantial amount of Common Shares (at least 10%) whose ownership may have a material adverse impact ("Adverse Person") on the business or prospects of the Company. The Company will be entitled to redeem the Rights at a price of $.01 per Right (payable in cash or stock) at anytime until 10 days following the Stock Acquisition Date or the date on which a person has been determined to be an Adverse Person. If the Company is involved in certain transactions after the Rights become exercisable, a Holder of Rights (other than Rights owned by a shareholder who has acquired 15% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock or is determined to be an Adverse Person, which Rights become void) is entitled to buy a number of the acquiring company's Common Shares or the Company's common stock, as the case may be, having a market value of twice the exercise price of each Right. A potential dilutive effect may exist upon the exercise of the Rights. Until a Right is exercised, 52
the holder will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitations, the right to vote as a stockholder or to receive dividends. The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and will expire at the close of business on March 18, 2009, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company. 9. Loss From In 1997, the Company recorded an Retirement extraordinary loss of $1,482,000 after taxes of Debt for the early retirement of debt. The extraordinary loss consists primarily of write-offs of deferred finance costs associated with the retired notes and legal and bank fees relating to the early extinguishment of the debt. 10. Site Development During 1997, the Company incurred site and Restructuring development (1,735,000) and restructuring Charges ($702,000) charges of $2,437,000. The site development charges consist of $800,000 related to the Charles Town Races facility and $935,000 related to the abandonment of certain proposed operating sites during 1997. The restructuring charges primarily consistof $350,000 in severance termination benefits and other charges at the Charles Town Races facility; $300,000 for the restructuring of the Erie, Pennsylvania OTW facility and $52,000 of property and equipment written off in connection with the discontinuation of Penn National Speedway, Inc. operations during 1997. These charges, net of income taxes, decreased the 1997 net income and diluted net income per share by $1,462,000 and $.09 per share, respectively. 11. Subsequent The Company's contract with the Penn Event National Race Course Thoroughbred Horsemen ("Horsemen") expired on February 15, 1999. On that date, the Horsemen stopped live racing at Penn National Race Course and withdrew their permission for the Company to import simulcast races from other racetracks, resulting in the closure of Penn National Race Course and its six OTW facilities at Reading, Chambersburg, York, Lancaster, Williamsport and Johnstown.

23 Term Loan.

More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than five Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans. 25 Notice of Borrowing. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur (x) Eurodollar Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Agent at the Notice Office at least three Business Days= prior notice of each Eurodollar Loan to be incurred hereunder and (y) Base Rate Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Agent at the Notice Office notice thereof no later than the date on which each Base Rate Loan is to be incurred hereunder, provided that (in each case) any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 11:00 a.m. (Philadelphia time) on such day. Each such notice (each a ANotice of Borrowing@), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be given by the Borrower in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing on the same day, in the form of Exhibit A, appropriately completed to specify the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), and whether the Revolving Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, Eurodollar Loans and, if Eurodollar Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto.

Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Bank prior to the date of Borrowing that such Bank does not intend to make available to the Agent such Bank=s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to the Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Bank, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Bank.

The Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Bank or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Bank, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 1.08. Nothing in this Section 1.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Bank from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Bank as a result of any failure by such Bank to make Loans hereunder. 28 Notes. 29 Amended and Restated Revolving Notes. The Borrower=s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Revolving Loans made by each Bank shall be evidenced by an amended and restated promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each a ARevolving Note@ and collectively, the ARevolving Notes@).

This Agreement IS NOT A NOVATION. 31 Term Note. The Borrower=s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Term Loan made by First Union shall be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower to First Union substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the ATerm Note@). The Term Note shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to First Union or its registered assigns and be dated the Restatement Effective Date (or, if issued after the Restatement Effective Date, be dated the date of the issuance thereof), (iii) be in an original principal amount of $5,000,000, (iv) mature on the Term Loan Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in such Term Note, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 4.01(b), and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to the extent set forth therein. 32 Each Bank will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect of each Loan and will prior to any transfer of any of its Notes, endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of the Loans evidenced thereby.

Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Agent at the Notice Office prior to 11:00 a.m. (Philadelphia time) at least three Business Days= prior notice (each a ANotice of Conversion@) specifying the Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were made and, if to be converted into Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Agent shall give each Bank prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans. Upon any such conversion the proceeds thereof will be deemed to be applied directly on the day of such conversion to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans being converted. 96

It is understood that no Bank shall be responsible for any default by any other Bank of its obligation to make Revolving Loans hereunder and that each Bank shall be obligated to make the Revolving Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Bank to make its Revolving Loans hereunder. 35 Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 1.06 or 1.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate in effect from time to time. 36 The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.06, 1.09 or 1.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period. 37 Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans, in each case, with such interest to be payable on demand. 38 Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) in respect of each Revolving Loan, on any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand. 39 Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period applicable to Eurodollar Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks thereof.

40 Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Eurodollar Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect, by giving the Agent notice thereof, the interest period (each an AInterest Period@) applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three or six-month period, provided that: 41 all Eurodollar Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period; 42 the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Eurodollar Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires; 43 if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month; 44 if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; 45 no Interest Period may be selected at any time when a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence; and 46 no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Eurodollar Loan shall be selected which extends beyond the Final Maturity Date. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period. 47 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Bank shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Agent): 98
48 on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or 49 at any time, that such Bank shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loan because of (x) any change since the date of this Agreement in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Bank of the principal of or interest on the Revolving Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or profits of such Bank pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances since the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market; or 50 at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Bank in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market; then, and in any such event, such Bank (or the Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Agent of such determination (which notice the Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Banks). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank, upon such Bank=s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Bank in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Bank for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Bank, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Bank shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 1.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law. 99
51 At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, by giving the Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Bank or the Agent pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days= written notice to the Agent, require the affected Bank to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided that, if more than one Bank is affected at any time, then all affected Banks must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 1.10(b). 52 If any Bank determines that after the date of this Agreement the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank based on the existence of such Bank=s Commitment hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower shall pay to such Bank, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Bank or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Bank or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Bank or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Bank will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Bank=s determination of compensation owing under this Section 1.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Bank, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 1.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts. 100
53 Compensation. The Borrower shall compensate each Bank, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Bank to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits which such Bank may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Bank or the Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.10(a)); (ii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9) or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay its Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or the Note held by such Bank or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 1.10(b). 54 Change of Lending Office. Each Bank agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.10(c), Section 2.06 or Section 4.04 with respect to such Bank, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Bank) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Bank and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 1.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Bank provided in Sections 1.10, 2.06 and 4.04. 55 Replacement of Banks. (x) If any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank or otherwise defaults in its obligations to make Revolving Loans or fund Unpaid Drawings, (y) upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.10(c), Section 2.06 or Section 4.04 with respect to any Bank which results in such Bank charging to the Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Banks or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Bank to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Banks as (and to the extent) provided in Section 12.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default then exists (or, in the case of preceding clause (z), no Default or Event of Default will exist immediately after giving effect to such replacement), to replace such Bank (the AReplaced Bank@) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Bank at the time of such replacement (collectively, the AReplacement Bank@) and each of whom shall be required to be reasonably acceptable to the Agent, provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 1.13, the Replacement Bank shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to 101
Section 12.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 12.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Bank) pursuant to which the Replacement Bank shall acquire the entire Commitment and all outstanding Loans of, and, in each case, participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Bank and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Bank in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (I) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Bank, (II) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Bank, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (III) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Bank pursuant to Section 3.01 and (y) each Issuing Bank an amount equal to such Replaced Bank=s Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Bank to such Issuing Bank and (ii) all obligations of the Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Bank at such time (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Bank concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Bank, delivery to the Replacement Bank of the appropriate Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Bank shall become a Bank hereunder and the Replaced Bank shall cease to constitute a Bank hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2.06, 4.04, 11.06 and 12.01), which shall survive as to such Replaced Bank.

It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that each of the letters of credit described in Schedule III (the AExisting Letters of Credit@) which were issued by Bankers Trust as the Issuing Bank under the Original Credit Agreement for the account of the Borrower prior to the Restatement Effective Date and which remain outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date shall, after completion of a Letter of Credit Request (as defined in Section 2.03) be substituted with a Letter of Credit from Agent as the Issuing Bank and shall constitute a ALetter of Credit@ for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed issued for purposes of Sections 2.04(a), 3.01(b) and 3.01(c) on the Restatement Effective Date. All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be issued on a sight basis only. 57 Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Issuing Bank hereby agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Restatement Effective Date and prior to the Final Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for the account of the Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit in support of such L/C Supportable Obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as are permitted to remain outstanding without giving rise to a Default or an Event of Default, provided that the Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit of the types described above if at the time of such issuance: 58 any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority (including any Commission) or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing the Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority (including any Commission) with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable or in effect with respect to the Issuing Bank as of the date hereof and which the Issuing Bank reasonably and in good faith deems material to it; or 59 the Issuing Bank shall have received notice from the Required Banks prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit of the type described in the second sentence of Section 2.03(b). 103
60 Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed either (x) $3,000,000 or (y) when added to the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the Total Commitment at such time and (ii) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (x) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such Letter of Credit may be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but not beyond the third Business Day prior to the Final Maturity Date, on terms acceptable to the Issuing Bank) and (y) three Business Days prior to the Final Maturity Date. 61 Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the Borrower shall give the Agent and the Issuing Bank at least five Business Days= (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank) written notice thereof. Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C (each a ALetter of Credit Request@). The Agent shall promptly transmit copies of each Letter of Credit Request to each Bank. 104
62 The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 2.02. Unless the Issuing Bank has received notice from the Required Banks before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 5 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 2.02, then the Issuing Bank shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with the Issuing Bank=s usual and customary practices. Upon its issuance of or amendment or modification to any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower, each Participant and the Agent of such issuance, amendment or modification and such notification shall be accompanied by a copy of the issued Letter of Credit or amendment or modification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that a Bank Default exists, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless the Issuing Bank has entered into an arrangement satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Bank=s risk with respect the participation in Letters of Credit by the Defaulting Bank or Banks, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Bank=s or Banks= Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstanding. 63 The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $50,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank. 64 Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Bank, other than the Issuing Bank (each such Bank, in its capacity under this Section 2.04, a AParticipant@), and each such Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant=s Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments or Percentages of the Banks pursuant to Section 1.13 or 12.04, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.04 to reflect the new Percentages of the assignor and assignee Bank, as the case may be. 65 In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not have an obligation relative to the other Banks other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for the Issuing Bank any resulting liability to the Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Bank or any other Person. 66 In the event that the Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(a), the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Issuing Bank the amount of such Participant=s Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If the Agent so notifies, prior to 11:00 a.m. (Philadelphia time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the Issuing Bank in Dollars such Participant=s Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Issuing Bank, such Participant agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Issuing Bank at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to the Issuing Bank its Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Issuing Bank its Percentage of any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to the Issuing Bank such other Participant=s Percentage of any such payment. 105
67 Whenever the Issuing Bank receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, the Issuing Bank shall pay to each Participant which has paid its Percentage thereof, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant=s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations. 68 Upon the request of any Participant, the Issuing Bank shall furnish to such Participant copies of any Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant. 69 The obligations of the Participants to make payments to the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances: 70 any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents; 71 the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Agent, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit); 72 any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 106
73 the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or 74 the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. 75 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank, by making payment to the Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed, an AUnpaid Drawing@), not later than two Business Days following receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 9.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by the Issuing Bank, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (Philadelphia time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date the Issuing Bank was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum which shall be the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (Philadelphia time) on the third Business Day following the receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 9.05, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Bank (and until reimbursed by the Borrower) at a rate per annum which shall be the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plus 2%, in each such case, with interest to be payable on demand. The Issuing Bank shall give the Borrower prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower=s obligations hereunder. 76 The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.05 to reimburse the Issuing Bank with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against any Bank (including in its capacity as issuer of the Letter of Credit or as Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each a ADrawing@) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any wrongful payment made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Issuing Bank. 107
77 Increased Costs. If at any time after the date of this Agreement, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority (including any Commission) charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Issuing Bank or any Participant with any request or directive by any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by the Issuing Bank or participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on the Issuing Bank or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Issuing Bank or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Issuing Bank or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or profits of the Issuing Bank or such Participant pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein), then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Borrower by the Issuing Bank or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Issuing Bank or such Participant to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. The Issuing Bank or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrower by the Issuing Bank or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Issuing Bank or such Participant to the Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Issuing Bank or such Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to his Section 2.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Bank is hereby authorized (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Bank (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Bank wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties to such Bank under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Bank pursuant to Section 12.06(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not such Bank shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. 309 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telex, telecopier or cable communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, cabled or delivered: if to any Credit Party, at the address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant Credit Documents; if to any Bank, at its address specified on Schedule II; and if to the Agent, at the Notice Office; or, as to any Credit Party, or the Agent, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Bank, at such other address as shall be designated by such Bank in a written notice to the Borrower and the Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by overnight courier, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company, cable company or overnight courier, as the case may be, or sent by telex or telecopier, except that notices and communications to the Agent shall not be effective until received by the Agent. 185
310 Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Banks and, provided further, that, although any Bank may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, such Bank shall remain a ABank@ for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitment hereunder except as provided in Sections 1.13 and 12.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a ABank@ hereunder and, provided further, that no Bank shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Final Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant=s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment, shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in Commitment or any Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant=s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents). In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant=s rights against such Bank in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Bank in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation. 186
311 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Bank (or any Bank together with one or more other Banks) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitment or the Term Loan and related outstanding Obligations hereunder to its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Bank which is at least 50% owned by such Bank or its parent company or to one or more Banks or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Bank or assigning Banks, of such Commitments or the Term Loan hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees, each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Bank by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that, (i) at such time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments of such new Bank and of the existing Banks, (ii) upon the surrender of the old notes by the assigning Bank (or, upon such assigning Bank=s indemnifying the Borrower for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower=s expense, to such new Bank and to the assigning Bank upon the request of such new Bank or assigning Bank, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments, (iii) the consent of the Agent and Borrower shall be required in connection with any assignment to an Eligible Transferee pursuant to clause (y) above, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that Borrower=s consent shall not be required if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Bank, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 and (v) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 12.15. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.04(b), the assigning Bank shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitment. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 12.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Bank hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Bank shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 4.04(b). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Bank=s Commitment pursuant to Section 1.13 or this Section 12.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 1.10, 2.06 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Bank prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment). 187
312 Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Bank from pledging its Loans or Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Bank from such Federal Reserve Bank. 313 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Agent or any Bank shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Agent or any Bank would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Agent or any Bank to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. 314 Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Banks (other than any Bank that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received. 315 Each of the Banks agrees that, if it should receive 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, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Commission or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Banks is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Bank bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Banks immediately prior to such receipt, then such Bank receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Banks an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Banks in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Banks in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Bank, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 188
316 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 12.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Banks as opposed to Defaulting Banks. 317 Calculations; Computations; Accounting Terms. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Banks pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Banks); provided that, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations of Commitment Commission and Applicable Margin, and all computations and all definitions used in determining compliance with Sections 8.08 through 8.11, inclusive, shall utilize accounting principles and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the historical financial statements of the Borrower delivered to the Banks referred to in Section 6.05(a). 318 All computations of interest, Commitment Commission and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day; except that in the case of Letter of Credit Fees, the last day shall be included) occurring in the period for which such interest, Loan Commitment Commission or Fees are payable. 319 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THE MORTGAGES, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. THE BORROWER HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE 189
BORROWER, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE BORROWER. THE BORROWER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH OPPOSITE ITS SIGNATURE BELOW, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT, ANY BANK OR THE HOLDER OF ANY REVOLVING NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 320 THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. 321 EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. 322 Arbitration.

Institution of a judicial proceeding by a party does not waive the right of that party to demand arbitration hereunder. Disputes may include, without limitation, tort claims, counterclaims, disputes as to whether a matter is subject to arbitration, claims brought as class actions, claims arising from Credit Documents executed in the future, or claims arising out of or connected with the transaction reflected by this Agreement. Arbitration shall be conducted under and governed by the Commercial Financial Disputes Arbitration Rules (the AArbitration Rules@) of the American Arbitration Association (the AAAA@) and Title 9 of the U.S. Code. All arbitration hearings shall be conducted in the city where the Payment Office is located.

323 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Agent. 324 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the date (the ARestatement Effective Date@) on which (i) the Borrower, the Agent and each Continuing Bank shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered the same to the Agent at the Notice Office, or, in the case of the Continuing Banks, shall have given to the Agent telephonic (confirmed in writing), written, telex or telecopy notice (actually received) at such office that the same has been signed and mailed to it and (ii) the conditions contained in Section 5 are met to the satisfaction of the Agent and the Required Banks (determined immediately after the occurrence of the Restatement Effective Date). Unless the Agent has received actual notice from any Bank that the conditions contained in Section 5 have not been met to its satisfaction, upon the satisfaction of the condition described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence and upon the Agent=s good faith determination that the conditions described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence have been met, then the Restatement Effective Date shall have been deemed to have occurred, regardless of any subsequent determination that one or more of the conditions thereto had not been met (although the occurrence of the Restatement Effective Date shall not release the Borrower from any liability for failure to satisfy one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Section 5). The Agent will give the Borrower and each Bank prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Restatement Effective Date. 325 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. 191

327 If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 12.12(a), the consent of the Required Banks is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Banks whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Banks whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clauses (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Bank or Banks with one or more Replacement Banks pursuant to Section 1.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Bank consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Bank=s Commitment of such Bank in accordance with Sections 3.02(b) and/or 4.01(b), provided that, unless the Commitment that is terminated pursuant to preceding clause (B) is immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Banks or the increase of the Commitments of existing Banks (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B) the Required Banks (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided further, that in any event the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Bank, terminate its Commitment as a result of the exercise of such Bank=s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Bank) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 12.12(a)). 328 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2.06, 4.04, 11.06 and 12.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations. 329 Domicile of Loans. Each Bank may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Bank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 12.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.06 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective Bank prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer). 193
330 Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Agent to serve as the Borrower=s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 12.15, to maintain a register (the ARegister@) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Banks, the Loans made by each of the Banks and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Bank. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower=s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Bank, the transfer of the Commitment of such Bank and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 12.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Bank shall surrender the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Bank and/or the new Bank. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Agent in performing its duties under this Section 12.15. 331 Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 12.16, each Bank agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Bank if the Bank or such Bank=s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.16 to the same extent as such Bank) any information with respect to the Borrower or any Credit Party which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document and which is designated by the Borrower to the Banks in writing as confidential, provided that any Bank may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 12.16(a) by the respective Bank, (b) as may be required or reasonably appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Bank or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required or reasonably appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Bank, (e) to the Agent and (f) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments, or any interest therein by such Bank, provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 12.16. 194
332 The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Bank may share with any of its affiliates any information related to the Borrower or any Credit Party (including, without limitation, any nonpublic customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this 195
Section 12.16 to the same extent as such Bank). IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused their duly authorized officers to execute and deliver this Agreement as of the date first above written. Address: PENN NATIONAL GAMING, INC.

For purposes of this Certificate, the terms below shall have the following definitions: AFair Value@ The amount at which the assets, in their entirety, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under any compulsion to act. APresent Fair Salable Value@ The amount that could be obtained by an independent willing seller from an independent willing buyer if the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) are sold with reasonable promptness under normal selling conditions in a current market. AStated Liabilities@ The recorded liabilities (including contingent liabilities) that would be recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (AGAAP@) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) at December 31, 1997, determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, together with the net change in long-term debt (including current maturities) between December 31, 1997 and the date hereof. 210
Identified Contingent Liabilities The maximum estimated amount of liabilities reasonably likely to result from pending litigation, asserted claims and assessments, guaranties, uninsured risks and other contingent liabilities of each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) after giving effect to the Transaction (exclusive of such contingent liabilities to the extent reflected in Stated Liabilities). Will be able to pay its Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities, as they mature@ Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will have sufficient assets and cash flow to pay their respective Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as those liabilities mature or otherwise become payable. Does not have Unreasonably Small Capital@ Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis), after consummation of the Transaction and all Indebtedness (including the Loans and the Senior Notes) being incurred or assumed and Liens created by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection therewith, is a going concern and has sufficient capital to ensure that it will continue to be a going concern for such period and to remain a going concern. For purposes of this Certificate, I, or other officers of the Borrower under my direction and supervision, have performed the following procedures as of and for the periods set forth below. I have reviewed the financial statements referred to in Section 6.05(a) of the Credit Agreement. I have made inquiries of certain officials of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters regarding (i) the existence and amount of Identified Contingent Liabilities associated with the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (ii) whether the unaudited consolidated financial statements referred to in paragraph (a) above are in conformity with GAAP applied on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited financial statements as at December 31, 1997. 211
I have knowledge of and have reviewed to my satisfaction the Credit Documents and the other Documents, and the respective Schedules and Exhibits thereto. With respect to Identified Contingent Liabilities, I: inquiredof certain officials of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, who have responsibility for legal, financial and accounting matters, as to the existence and estimated liability with respect to all contingent liabilities known to them; confirmed with officers of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, that, to the best of such officers= knowledge, (i) all appropriate items were included in Stated Liabilities or the listing of Identified Contingent Liabilities and that (ii) the amounts relating thereto were the maximum estimated amount of liabilities reasonably likely to result therefrom as of the date hereof; and I have examined the Projections which have been delivered to the Banks and considered the effect thereon of any changes since the date of the preparation thereof on the results projected therein. After such review, I hereby certify that in my opinion the Projections are reasonable and the Projections support the conclusions contained in paragraph 4 below. I have made inquiries of certain officers of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries who have responsibility for financial reporting and accounting matters regarding whether they were aware of any events or conditions that, as of the date hereof, would cause the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis), after giving effect to the Transaction, to (i) have assets with a Fair Value or Present Fair Salable Value that are less than the sum of Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities; (ii) have Unreasonably Small Capital; or (iii) not be able to pay its Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature or otherwise become payable. 212
