PROMISSORY NOTE
| $3,200,000 | February 10, 2006 |
Youbet.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of UT Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Holder”), the principal amount of Three Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,200,000), together with interest thereon calculated from the date hereof in accordance with the provisions of this promissory note (this “Note”).
This Note is one of three promissory notes issued pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2005 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, UT Gaming, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Holder and United Tote Company, a Montana corporation (“UTCo”). The promissory notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “Purchase Notes.” Except as defined in Section 6 hereof or otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.
1. Interest.
(a) Accrual. Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of this Note outstanding from time to time at a rate per annum equal to 5.02% (the LIBOR Rate). Such interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed during which it accrues.
(b) Payment of Interest. The Company will pay to the Holder all interest accrued on the unpaid principal amount of this Note on the Maturity Date.
2. Payment of Principal.
(a) Maturity. The Company shall pay the unpaid principal amount of this Note then outstanding to the Holder, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon, on February 8, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”).
(b) Optional Prepayments. The Company may, at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty, prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note (together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon). In the event the Company elects to make any such prepayment on or prior to June 11, 2007 or, if a Set Off Request is then pending, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Holder and the Company shall enter into an escrow agreement (the “Indemnity Escrow Agreement”) in substantially the form attached as Exhibit 3 to the Purchase Agreement, and the Company shall fund the amount of such prepayment or, if the prepayment is after June 11, 2007 and a Set Off Request is pending, the amount claimed in such Set Off Request, into an escrow account to be held pursuant to the Indemnity Escrow Agreement.
(c) Mandatory Prepayments. After all obligations for principal and interest under the other Purchase Notes have been paid in full:
(i) In the event any Affiliated Company receives any Excess Capital, the Company shall make a prepayment on this Note in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note and all unpaid interest accrued thereon and (y) the amount of such Excess Capital. Such prepayment shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the applicable Affiliated Company’s receipt of such Excess Capital. Prepayments under this Section 2(c) shall first be applied to accrued and unpaid interest on this Note, and then to the outstanding principal of this Note.
(ii) In the event that a Sale of the Company or a Sale of UTCo is consummated, the Company shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of this Note and all unpaid interest accrued thereon in full within five (5) Business Days of the consummation thereof.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2(c), the Company shall not be required to make any prepayment on this Note on or prior to June 11, 2007; provided that in the event the Company becomes obligated to make a prepayment pursuant to paragraph (i) or (ii) above at any time on or prior to June 11, 2007, the Company shall be obligated to make such prepayment (subject to the suspension of the obligation to make all or a portion of such prepayment pursuant to Section 3(d)) on June 12, 2007.
3. Right to Set Off.
(a) The Holder has made certain representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Holder agrees that the Company may set off any Loss with respect to which the Company is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Purchase Agreement against any amounts due or outstanding under this Note, whether this Note is held by the Holder or any of its successors or permitted assigns. In the event the Company wishes to set off any Loss against any amounts due or outstanding under this Note, the Company shall give the Holder written notice which sets forth the amount proposed to be set off (a “Set Off Request”).
(b) If, after delivery of a Set Off Request, the Holder desires to challenge the propriety and/or the amount of the set off therein or a portion thereof, then the Holder may do so by delivering to the Company written notice (a “Challenge Notice”), within 30 days after a Set Off Request is delivered to it, describing in reasonable detail the amount of the set off being challenged (the “Challenge Amount”) and the basis for such challenge (or, in the alternative, stating that the Holder does not possess information sufficient to determine the propriety and/or amount of the requested set off).
(c) On the date 30 days after delivery of a Set Off Request, the Holder shall be deemed to have authorized the Company to set off against this Note (any such set off to be applied first to interest and then to principal) the entire amount claimed in the Set Off Request, or, if a Challenge Notice is delivered within 30 days after a Set Off Request is delivered, the amount claimed in excess of the Challenge Amount (or, if less, the entire amount of principal and interest outstanding under this Note), which deemed authorization shall be final and binding on the Holder. Upon such authorized set off, the applicable amount of principal shall be permanently reduced and deemed to have been paid.
(d) After delivery of a Set Off Notice to Holder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, all obligations of the Company to make any payment (including any prepayment) of principal or interest (including, if applicable, any default interest) under this Note shall be suspended, and interest (including, if applicable, any default interest) shall not accrue, with respect to the amount
2
claimed in such Set Off Notice. If a Challenge Notice is delivered, and either Holder and the Company agree in writing, or a final, binding and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction determines, that the Company is not entitled to indemnification for any portion of a Challenged Amount, the suspension of obligations to make any payment of principal or interest shall cease (and if any such payments are then due, they shall promptly be made), and interest (including, if applicable, any default interest) shall resume accruing and shall be deemed to have accrued with respect to such portion since the date of the Set Off Notice. Any Set Off Request made by the Company in good faith, and the suspension of any payments as set forth in this Section 3 with respect thereto, shall not be an Event of Default, whether or not all or any portion of the amount claimed in such Set Off Request is ultimately set off against this Note.
4. Default and Acceleration.
(a) Events of Default. The occurrence of any one of the following events shall constitute an event of default by the Company hereunder (“Event of Default”) and shall cause the full unpaid principal balance hereof, together with all accrued interest thereon, to become immediately due and payable (subject to the suspension of the obligation to make all or a portion of such payment pursuant to Section 3(d)); provided, that in no event shall the foregoing cause any such amounts to come due on or prior to June 11, 2007: (i) any principal or interest hereunder is not paid when due and remains unpaid for a period of five (5) days following the date when due; (ii) a petition in bankruptcy is filed by the Company or a proceeding is instituted by the Company under any law of the United States for the relief of debtors; (iii) a petition in bankruptcy is filed against the Company and remains undismissed or undischarged for a period of ninety (90) days after the filing thereof; (iv) an “Event of Default” under any of the other Purchase Notes (as such term is defined in such Purchase Notes); or (v) an event of default occurs with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or UTCo with a principal amount outstanding of at least $1,000,000 (other than Indebtedness under the Purchase Notes) and as a result of such event of default such Indebtedness is declared to be or becomes due and payable prior its stated maturity.
(b) Default Interest. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of this Note at a per annum rate equal to 11.02% upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until the earlier of the date on which (i) the Event of Default is cured, or (ii) the full unpaid principal amount of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, is paid in full. Such interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed during which it accrues.
5. Covenants and Representations. The Company hereby covenants that it shall not declare or pay any dividend (other than a dividend payable solely in capital stock of the Company) to its stockholders for so long as any principal or accrued unpaid interest remains outstanding under this Note. The Company hereby represents that for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s revenues constituted at least eighty percent (80%) of the consolidated revenues of the Affiliated Companies.
