FOR TREATMENT OF

CLAIMS UNDER THE PLAN
19.1 Objections
to Claims; Prosecution of Disputed Claims: The Reorganized
Debtors Plan Administrator shall object to the allowance of Claims filed with
the Bankruptcy Court with respect to which they dispute liability, priority or
amount, including, without limitation, objections to Claims which have been
assigned and the assertion of the doctrine of equitable subordination with
respect thereto. All objections, affirmative defenses and
counterclaims shall be litigated to Final Order; provided, however, that the
Reorganized Debtors Plan Administrator (within such parameters as may be
established by the Board of Directors of the Reorganized Debtors) shall have the
authority to file, settle, compromise or withdraw any objections to Claims; and,
provided, further, that (i)
objections and/or settlements, compromises or withdrawal of any objections to
the allowance of Non-MJC General Unsecured Claims, 8.55% Note Claims and 7.25%
Note Claims shall be made in consultation with the Creditors’ Committee and any
costs and expenses incurred by the Reorganized Debtors Plan Administrator in
connection therewith shall be funded by Creditor Cash and (ii) objections and/or
settlements, compromises or withdrawal of any objections to the allowance of MJC
Unsecured Claims,
42
Administrative
Expense Claims, Secured Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Priority Non-Tax Claims
shall be made in consultation with MID US Financing and any costs and expenses

Bankruptcy Court, the Reorganized Debtors Plan Administrator shall file and
serve all objections to Claims as soon as practicable, but, in each instance,
not later than ninety (90) days following the Effective Date or such later date
as may be approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
19.2 Estimation
of Claims: Unless otherwise limited by an order of the
Bankruptcy Court, the Reorganized Debtors Plan Administrator, upon consultation
with the Creditors’ Committee and MID US Financing, may at any time request the
Bankruptcy Court to estimate for final distribution purposes any contingent
and/or unliquidated claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code
regardless of whether the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors previously objected
to such Claim, and the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to consider any
request to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any
objection to any Claim, including, without limitation, during the pendency of
any appeal relating to any such objection. Unless otherwise provided
in an order of the Bankruptcy Court, in the event that the Bankruptcy Court
estimates any contingent and/or unliquidated claim, the estimated amount shall
constitute either the allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on
such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, that, if the
estimate constitutes the maximum limitation on such Claim, the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors Plan Administrator, as the case may be, may elect to pursue
supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate allowance of such Claim; and,
provided, further, that the
foregoing is not intended to limit the rights granted by section 502(j) of the

estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and not necessarily
exclusive of one another.

Reserve: Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(d) and 24.2,
from and after the Effective Date, and until such time as all Disputed Claims
have been compromised and settled or determined by order of the Bankruptcy
Court, the Disbursing Agent shall reserve and hold in escrow for the benefit of
each holder of a Disputed Claim, Cash, in an amount equal to the distributions
which would have been made to the holder of such Disputed Claim if it were an
Allowed Claim in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Disputed Claim Amount,
(ii) the amount in which the Disputed Claim shall be estimated by the Bankruptcy
Court pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code for purposes of allowance,
which amount, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, shall constitute
and represent the maximum amount in which such Claim may ultimately become an
Allowed Claim or (iii) such other amount as may be agreed upon by the holder of
such Disputed Claim and the Reorganized Debtors Plan
Administrator. Any Cash reserved and held for the benefit of a holder
of a Disputed Claim shall be treated as a payment and reduction on account of
such Disputed Claim for purposes of Section 24.1 of the Plan and computing any
additional amounts to be paid in Cash in the event the Disputed Claim ultimately
becomes an Allowed Claim. Such Cash reserved for the benefit of
holders of Disputed Claims shall be either (x) held by the Disbursing Agent, in
an interest-bearing account or (y) invested in interest-bearing obligations
issued by the
43
United
States Government, or by an agency of the United States Government and
guaranteed by the United States Government, and having (in either case) a
maturity of not more than thirty (30) days, for the benefit of such holders
pending determination of their entitlement thereto under the terms of the
Plan. No payments or distributions shall be made with respect to all
or any portion of any Disputed Claim pending the entire resolution thereof by
Final Order. For purposes of calculating the KLNF Contingency Fee,
the amounts held in reserve for Disputed Claims that consist of Non-MJC General
Unsecured Claims shall be adjusted for such fee prior to being placed in
reserve.
(b) Allowance of Disputed
Claims: At such time as a Disputed Claim becomes, in whole or
in part, an Allowed Claim, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.1(d) and 24.2
hereof, the Disbursing Agent shall distribute to the holder thereof the
distributions, if any, to which such holder is then entitled under the Plan
together, with any interest that has accrued on the amount of Cash (net of any
expenses, including any taxes of the escrow, relating thereto), but only to the
extent that such interest is attributable to the amount of the Allowed
Claim. Such distribution, if any, shall be made as soon as
practicable after an order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court is entered
allowing such Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order but in no event more than
sixty (60) days thereafter.
(c) Tax Treatment of
Escrow: Subject to the receipt of contrary guidance from the
IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction (including the receipt by the
Disbursing Agent of a private letter ruling requested by the Disbursing Agent,
or the receipt of an adverse determination by the IRS upon audit if not
contested by the Disbursing Agent, or a condition imposed by the IRS in
connection with a private letter ruling requested by the Debtors), the
Disbursing Agent shall (i) treat the escrow as one or more disputed ownership
funds for federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.468B-9(b)(1) and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law,
report consistent with the foregoing for state and local income tax

with the operations of the Assets in the Thistledown Trust, as follows: until
the MID Thistledown Sale Funding Termination Date, one hundred percent (100%)
from MID US Financing and if the Thistledown Sale has not been consummated by
the MID Thistledown Sale Funding Termination Date, thereafter, fifty percent
(50%) from Creditor Cash and fifty percent (50%) from MID US Financing, with a
reconciliation, solely for amounts funded after the MID Thistledown Sale Funding
Termination Date, upon the definitive agreement for the Thistledown Sale on a
pro rata basis based upon the non-contingent amount of the Creditor Thistledown
Sale Proceeds and MID Thistledown Sale Proceeds and additional reconciliations
as additional proceeds are received based on the satisfaction of contingencies,
if any, to ensure that the funding provided from the Creditor Cash and by MID US
Financing represents a Pro Rata Share based upon the Creditor Thistledown Sale
Proceeds and the MID Thistledown Sale Proceeds.
20.4 Transfer
of Assets:
(a) The
transfer of assets to the Operating Trust shall be made, as provided herein, for
the benefit of the holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 2 and 7 through 26, only
to the extent such holders in such Classes are entitled to distributions under
the Plan. In partial satisfaction of Allowed Claims in Classes 2 and
7 through 26, the assets subject to the Operating Trust shall be transferred to
such holders of Allowed Claims, to be held by the Reorganized Debtors on their
behalf. Immediately thereafter, on behalf of the holders of Allowed
Claims in Classes 2 and 7 through 26, the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors, as the case may be, shall transfer such assets to the Operating Trust
for the benefit of holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 2 and 7 through 26, in
accordance with the Plan.
(b) For all
federal income tax purposes, all parties (including, without limitation, the
Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, the Operating Trustee
and the beneficiaries of the Operating Trust) shall treat the transfer of assets
to the Operating Trust in accordance with the terms of the Plan, as a transfer
to the holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 2 and 7 through
26, followed by a transfer by such holders to the Operating Trust and
the beneficiaries of the Operating Trust shall be treated as the grantors and
owners thereof. The
45
foregoing
treatment shall also apply, to the extent permitted by applicable law, for state
and local income tax purposes.
20.5 Valuation
of Assets: Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the
value of the assets transferred to the Operating Trust on the Effective Date
shall be the purchase price set forth in a binding contract in existence on the
Effective Date to purchase the applicable assets; provided, however, that, in the
event that any such contract is terminated within thirty (30) days of the
Effective Date, the value of such assets shall be the fair market value thereof
on the first (1st) business day following such termination. In the
absence of such a binding contract to purchase any asset transferred to the
Operating Trust, the value of such asset shall be determined jointly by MID US
Financing, the Creditors’ Committee and the Debtors and the Debtors shall notify
the Operating Trustee of the value of such assets. In all
circumstances, the Operating Trustee shall apprise, in writing, the
beneficiaries of the Operating Trust of the valuation of all assets transferred
to the respective Operating Trust. The valuation shall be used
consistently by all parties (including the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the
Operating Trustee and the beneficiaries of the Operating Trust) for all federal
income tax purposes and to the extent applicable, state and local income tax
purposes.
20.6 Investment
Powers: The right and power of the Operating Trustee to invest
assets transferred to the Operating Trust, the proceeds thereof, or any income
earned by the respective Operating Trust, shall be limited to the right and
power to invest such assets (pending periodic distributions in accordance with
Section 20.7 hereof) in Cash Equivalents; provided, however, that (a) the
scope of any such permissible investments shall be limited to include only those
investments, or shall be expanded to include any additional investments, as the
case may be, that a liquidating trust, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 301.7701-4(d) may be permitted to hold, pursuant to the Treasury
Regulations, or any modification in the IRS guidelines, whether set forth in IRS
rulings, other IRS pronouncements or otherwise, and (b) the Operating Trustee
may expend the assets of the Operating Trust (i) as reasonably necessary to meet
contingent liabilities and to maintain the value of the assets of the Operating
Trust during liquidation, (ii) to pay reasonable administrative expenses
(including, but not limited to, any taxes imposed on the Operating Trust or fees
and expenses in connection with litigation), and (iii) to satisfy other
liabilities incurred or assumed by the Operating Trust (and to which the assets
are otherwise subject) in accordance with the Plan and the Operating Trust
Agreement; and, provided, further, that, under
no circumstances, shall the Operating Trust segregate the assets of the
Operating Trust on the basis of classification of the holders of respective
Operating Trust Interests, other than with respect to distributions to be made
on account of Disputed Claims in accordance with the provisions
hereof.
20.7 Annual
Distribution; Withholding: The Operating Trustee shall
distribute at least annually to the holders of respective Operating Trust
Interests all net cash income plus all net cash proceeds from the liquidation of
assets (including as Cash for this purpose, all Cash Equivalents); provided, however, that the
Operating Trust may retain such amounts (i) as are reasonably necessary to meet
contingent liabilities and to maintain the value of the assets of the Operating
Trust during liquidation, (ii) to pay reasonable administrative expenses
(including any taxes imposed on the Operating Trust or in respect of the assets
of the Operating Trust), and (iii) to satisfy other liabilities incurred or
assumed by the Operating Trust (or to which the assets are
46
otherwise
subject) in accordance with the Plan or the Operating Trust
Agreement. All such distributions shall be pro rata based on the
number of Operating Trust Interest held by a holder compared with the aggregate
number of Operating Trust Interest outstanding, subject to the terms of the Plan
and the respective Operating Trust Agreement. The Operating Trustee
may withhold from amounts distributable to any Person any and all amounts,
determined in the Operating Trustee’s reasonable sole discretion, to be required
by any law, regulation, rule, ruling, directive or other governmental
requirement.
20.8 Reporting
Duties:
(a) Federal Income
Tax: Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of
competent jurisdiction to the contrary (including the receipt by the Operating
Trustee of a private letter ruling if the Operating Trustee so requests one, or
the receipt of an adverse determination by the IRS upon audit if not contested
by the Operating Trustee), the Operating Trustee shall file returns for the
Operating Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section
1.671-4(a) and in accordance with this Section 20.8. The Operating
Trustee shall also annually send to each holder of a Operating Trust Interest a
separate statement setting forth the holder’s share of items of income, gain,
loss, deduction or credit and shall instruct all such holders to report such
items on their federal income tax returns.
(b) Allocations of Operating
Trust Taxable Income: Allocations of an Operating Trust’s
taxable income shall be determined by reference to the manner in which an amount
of cash equal to such taxable income would be distributed (without regard to any
restrictions on distributions described herein) if, immediately prior to such
deemed distribution, the Operating Trust had distributed all of its other assets
(valued for this purpose at their tax book value) to the holders of the
Operating Trust Interests (treating any holder of a Disputed Claim, for this
purpose, as a current holder of a Operating Trust Interest entitled to
distributions), taking into account all prior and concurrent distributions from
the Operating Trust (including all distributions held in escrow pending the
resolution of Disputed Claims). Similarly, taxable loss of the
Operating Trust shall be allocated by reference to the manner in which an
economic loss would be borne immediately after a liquidating distribution of the
remaining assets of an Operating Trust. The tax book value of the
assets of an Operating Trust for this purpose shall equal their fair market
value on the date such Operating Trust were created or, if later, the date such
assets were acquired by the Operating Trust, adjusted in either case in
accordance with tax accounting principles prescribed by the IRC, the regulations
and other applicable administrative and judicial authorities and
pronouncements.
(c) Other: The
Operating Trustee shall file (or cause to be filed) any other statements,
returns or disclosures relating to the Operating Trust that are required by any
governmental unit.
20.9 Trust
Implementation: On or after the Effective Date, the Operating
Trust shall be established and become effective for the benefit of Allowed
Claims in Classes 2 and 7 through 26. The Operating Trust Agreement
shall be filed in the Plan Supplement and shall contain provisions customary to
trust agreements utilized in comparable circumstances, including, but not
limited to, any and all provisions necessary to ensure the continued
treatment
47
of each
Operating Trust as a grantor trust for federal income tax
purposes. All parties (including the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors, as the case may be, the Operating Trustee and holders of Allowed Claims
in Classes 2 and 7 through 26) shall execute any documents or other instruments
as necessary to cause title to the applicable assets to be transferred to the
Operating Trust.
20.10 Registry
of Beneficial Interests: Each Operating Trustee shall maintain
a registry of the holders of Operating Trust Interests.
20.11 Termination: The
Operating Trust shall terminate no later than the consummation of the
Thistledown Sale, as applicable; provided, however, that, on or
prior to such termination, the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion by a party in
interest, including, without limitation, the Operating Trustee or any member of
the Thistledown Trust Board, may extend the term of the Operating Trust if it is
necessary to the liquidation of the assets of such Operating
Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, multiple extensions can be
obtained so long as Bankruptcy Court approval is obtained at least two (2)
months prior to the expiration of each extended term.
20.12 Non-Transferability
or Certification: Upon the creation of each Operating Trust,
the beneficial interests in such Operating Trust shall be allocated on the books
and records of such Operating Trust to the appropriate holders thereof, but such
interests shall not be certificated and shall not be transferable by the holder
thereof except through the laws of descent or distribution or to an affiliate of
such holder.
20.13 Applicability
to Certain Claims : In the event that allocations of Operating
Trust Interests are made to holders of Allowed Claims in accordance with the
provisions of Articles VI, XI through XIII of the Plan, all provisions contained
in this Article XX shall be for the benefit of and be applicable to such holders
of Allowed Claims, as though set forth in this Article XX in the first
instance.
20.14 Post-Effective
Date Thistledown Sale Process: In connection with the Thistledown Sale
contemplated by Section 20.3(b) hereof, in the event that any offer to purchase
either the Reorganized Thistledown Stock or substantially all of the Assets of
the Thistledown Trust is conveyed to the Thistledown Trustee, the Creditors’
Committee and MID US Financing will cooperate to maximize the overall value of
the sale of the Reorganized Thistledown Stock or the Assets of the Thistledown
Trust through an auction; provided, that as
long as the non-contingent amount of any offer exceeds Twenty Million Dollars
($20,000,000.00), MID will not object to the Creditors’ Committee’s
determination as to which offer constitutes the highest and best offer and provided, lastly, that if the
non-contingent amount of any offer is less than Twenty Million Dollars
($20,000,000.00) and the Creditors’ Committee and MID US Financing do not agree
on which offer constitutes the highest and best offer (considering
non-contingent, contingent and future payments), the Creditors’ Committee and
MID US Financing reserve their respective rights to object to the acceptance of
any offer for the Reorganized Thistledown Stock or the Assets of the Thistledown
Trust.

Priority Claim, Allowed Wells Fargo Claim, Allowed PNC Claim, Allowed BMO Claim,
Allowed Secured Claim, Allowed Non-MJC General Unsecured Claim, Allowed 8.55%
Note Claims, Allowed 7.25% Note Claims or Allowed MJC Claim (or cause to be
distributed to each holder of a Disputed Claim in accordance with Section 19.3
hereof) the distributions set forth in Articles III through XIV
hereof.
24.2 Sources
of Cash for Distribution: Except as otherwise provided in this
Plan or the Confirmation Order, all Cash required for the payments to be made to
Allowed Claims shall be from the Debtors’ Cash, the MID Cash Consideration,
Committee Litigation Settlement Payment, MID Litigation Cash Consideration, the
LSP Sale Proceeds and Thistledown Sale Proceeds.
24.3 Timeliness
of Payments: Any payments or distributions to be made pursuant
to the Plan shall be deemed to be timely made if made within fifteen (15) days
after the date therefor specified in the Plan. Whenever any
distribution to be made under this Plan shall be due on a day other than a
Business Day, such distribution shall instead be made, without interest, on the
immediately succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been made on
the date due.
24.4 Distributions
by the Disbursing Agent: All distributions to be made pursuant
to the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent at the direction of the
Reorganized Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee or MID Transferee, as
applicable. The Disbursing Agent shall be deemed to hold all property
to be distributed hereunder in trust for the Persons entitled to receive the
same. The Disbursing Agent shall not hold an economic or beneficial
interest in such property.
24.5 Manner of
Payment under the Plan: Unless the Entity receiving a payment
agrees otherwise, any payment in Cash to be made pursuant to this Plan, at the
election of the Disbursing Agent, by check drawn on a domestic bank or by wire
transfer from a domestic bank; provided, however, that no Cash
payments shall be made to a holder of an Allowed Claim until such time, if ever,
as the amount payable thereto is equal to or greater than Ten Dollars
($10.00).
50
24.6 Delivery
of Distributions: Subject to the provisions of Rule 9010 of
the Bankruptcy Rules, and except as provided in Section 24.5 of the Plan,
distributions and deliveries to holders of Allowed Claims shall be made at the
address of each such holder as set forth on the Schedules filed with the
Bankruptcy Court unless superseded by the address set forth on a proof of claim
filed by such holder, or at the last known address of such a holder if no proof
of claim is filed or if the Debtors have been notified in writing of a change of
address.
24.7 Undeliverable
Distributions:
(a) Holding of Undeliverable
Distributions: If any distribution to any holder is returned
to the Reorganized Debtors as undeliverable, no further distributions shall be
made to such holder unless and until the Reorganized Debtors are notified, in
writing, of such holder’s then-current address. Undeliverable
distributions shall remain in the possession of the Reorganized Debtors until
such time as a distribution becomes deliverable. All Entities
ultimately receiving undeliverable Cash shall not be entitled to any interest or
other accruals of any kind. Nothing contained in the Plan shall
require the Reorganized Debtors to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed
Claim.
(b) Failure to Claim
Undeliverable Distributions: On or about the six (6) month
anniversary of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall file a list
with the Bankruptcy Court setting forth the names of those Entities for which
distributions have been made hereunder and have been returned as undeliverable
as of the date thereof. Any holder of an Allowed Claim that does not
assert its rights pursuant to the Plan to receive a distribution within one (1)
year from and after the Effective Date shall have its entitlement to such
undeliverable distribution discharged and shall be forever barred from asserting
any entitlement pursuant to the Plan against the Reorganized Debtors or their
property. In such case, any consideration held for distribution on
account of such Claim shall revert to the Disbursing Agent for purposes of (i)
calculating and distributing “Creditor Cash” to the extent such undeliverable
distribution is on account of an Allowed Non-MJC General Unsecured Claim,
Allowed 8.55% Note Claim, and Allowed 7.25% Note Claim or (ii) distributing to
MID Transferee to the extent such undeliverable distribution is on account of an
Allowed Administrative Expense Claim, Allowed Priority Tax Claim, Allowed
Priority Non-Tax Claim or Allowed MJC Claim.
24.8 Indenture
Trustee:
(a) The
Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be the holder of all 8.55% Note Claims and
7.25% Note Claims for purposes of distributions to be made hereunder, and all
distributions on account of such notes shall be made to or on behalf of the
Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall hold or direct such
distributions for the benefit of the holders of record of Allowed Subordinated
Note Claims.
(b) To the
extent that the MID Litigation Consideration is insufficient to compensate the
reasonable fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
shall be paid in Cash on the Effective Date from the distributions otherwise
allocable to holders of record of Allowed 8.55% Note Claims and Allowed 7.25%
Note Claims.
51
24.9 Compliance
with Tax Requirements: The Reorganized Debtors shall comply
with all applicable tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on it by
any governmental unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be
subject to such withholding and reporting requirements.
24.10 Time Bar
to Cash Payments: Checks issued by the Reorganized Debtors on
account of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within ninety
(90) days from and after the date of issuance thereof. Requests for
reissuance of any check shall be made directly to the Disbursing Agent by the
holder of the Allowed Claim with respect to which such check originally was
issued. Any claim in respect of a voided check shall be made on or
before the later of (a) the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date or (b)
ninety (90) days after the date of issuance of such check, if such check
represents a final distribution hereunder on account of such
Claim. After such date, all Claims in respect of voided checks shall
be discharged and forever barred and all monies related thereto shall be
remitted to (i) the Disbursing Agent for purposes of calculating and
distributing as “Creditor Cash,” to the extent relating to Non-MJC General
Unsecured Claims, 8.55% Note Claim, and 7.25% Note Claim and (ii) MID
Transferee, to the extent relating to MJC Claims, Administrative Claims,
Priority Non-Tax Claims or Priority Tax Claims.
24.11 Distributions
After Effective Date: Distributions made after the Effective
Date to holders of Claims that are not Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date,
but which later become Allowed Claims shall be deemed to have been made in
accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 24.1 of the
Plan.
24.12 Setoffs: The
Disbursing Agent, solely as agent for MID Transferee, may, pursuant to
applicable bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy law, set off against any Allowed MJC Claim, Allowed Administrative Claim, Allowed
Priority Non-Tax Claim or Allowed Priority Tax Claim and the
distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account thereof (before any
distribution is made on account of such Claim), the claims, rights and causes of
action of any nature against the holder of such Allowed Claim; provided, however, that neither
the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder
shall constitute a waiver or release by MID Transferee of any such claims,
rights and causes of action that MID Transferee may possess against such holder;
and, provided,
further, that
nothing contained herein is intended to limit the ability of any Creditor to
effectuate rights of setoff or recoupment preserved or permitted by the
provisions of sections 553, 555, 559 or 560 of the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant
to the common law right of recoupment.
24.13 Allocation
of Plan Distributions Between Principal and Interest: To the
extent that any Allowed Claim entitled to a distribution under the Plan is
comprised of indebtedness and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, such
distribution shall be allocated first to the principal amount of the Claim (as
determined for federal income tax purposes) and then, to the extent the
consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claim, to accrued but unpaid
interest or original issue discount. The Assets of Gulfstream Park
Racing, the Reorganized GPRA Commercial Stock and the Reorganized Gulfstream
Park Racing Stock transferred to the MID Transferee in satisfaction of the MID
Claims shall be treated as first satisfying all or a portion of the principal
amount of the Gulfstream Park Claim (as determined for federal
income
52
tax
purposes). To the extent such transfers are insufficient to satisfy the full
principal amount of the Gulfstream Park Claim, (as determined for federal income
tax purposes), the remaining distributions to the MID Transferee in satisfaction
of the MID Claims shall be treated as first satisfying the principal amount of
the Gulfstream Park Claim (as determined for federal income tax purposes) and,
thereafter, shall be treated as satisfying the remaining MID Claims in
accordance with the first sentence of this Section 24.13. All of the
parties (including, without limitation, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors)
agree to report such transfers consistently with the foregoing for federal,
state and local income tax purposes.
24.14 Exemption
from Securities Law: To the fullest extent provided for in
section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the issuance of the Equity Interests of the
Reorganized Debtors, and, to the extent considered securities, the Thistledown
Trust Interests, on account of, and in exchange for, the Claims against the
Debtors shall be exempt from registration pursuant to section 5 of the
Securities Act of 1933 and any other applicable non-bankruptcy law or
regulation.

schedule filed with the Plan Supplement (the “LSP/Thistledown
Schedule”) and such executory contracts and unexpired leases shall be
assumed and assigned upon the consummation of the LSP Sale and/or Thistledown
Sale. Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall
constitute approval of such assumptions and assignments and rejections pursuant
to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors or
Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, as directed by MID Transferee, reserve the
right to modify and amend the Schedule of Assumed and Assigned Executory

(a) The
Schedule of Assumed and Assigned Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall
designate the cure amount owing with respect to each such executory contract and

event of a dispute regarding (a) the amount of any cure payment, (b) the ability
of MID Transferee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within
the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the contract or lease

payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be subject
to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and made following the entry of a
Final Order resolving such dispute; provided, however, that any
objections to the cure amount listed on the Schedule of Assumed and Assigned
Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases must be filed the later of (i) thirty
(30) days after any amendment to the Schedule of Assumed and Assigned
Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases has been filed or (ii) thirty (30) days
after the Effective Date.
(b) The
LSP/Thistledown Schedule shall designate the cure amount owing with respect to

payment, (b) the ability of the assignee to provide “adequate assurance of
future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code)
under the
54
contract
or lease to be assumed or (c) any other matter pertaining to assumption arises,
the cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be
subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and made following the entry
of a Final Order resolving such dispute; provided, however, that any
objections to the cure amount listed on the LSP/Thistledown Schedule must be
filed thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.
26.3 Modifications,
Amendments, Supplements, Restatements or Other Agreements:
(a) Unless
otherwise provided by this Plan or by separate order of the Bankruptcy Court,
each executory contract and unexpired lease that is assumed, whether or not such
executory contract or unexpired lease relates to the use, acquisition or

period during which the Debtors have obligated themselves to provide such
benefits; provided, however, that the

Creditors’ Committee and the Debtors without further approval from the

regards to the Creditors’ Committee’s retention of Blackstone, Blackstone’s
compensation for services rendered after the Effective Date shall be limited to
the following: Blackstone shall be entitled to compensation in the form of five
percent (5%) of the Creditor Thistledown Sale Proceeds in excess of Twenty
Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00), if any, after accounting for the
reconciliations contemplated by Section 21.3(b) hereof, upon consummation of the
Thistledown Sale and as additional proceeds are received based on the
satisfaction of contingencies.
35.16 Severability: If,
prior to the Confirmation Date, any term or provision of the Plan shall be held
by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy
Court
70
shall,
with the consent of the Debtors, MID and the Creditors’ Committee have the power
to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to
the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term
or provision held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, and such term or
provision shall then be applicable as altered or
interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or
interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan shall
remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or
invalidated by such holding, alteration or interpretation. The

that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or
interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and enforceable pursuant
to its terms.
