Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
The Company has derived substantially all of its revenues from the rendering of
services and the sale or supply of computerized on-line lottery systems and
components to government-authorized lotteries. Service revenues have been
derived primarily from service contracts, which are typically of at least five
years' duration, and are generally based upon a percentage of a lottery's gross
on-line lottery sales, which typically falls within a range of 1.5% to 5.0%.
Product sales revenues have been derived primarily from the installation of new
on-line lottery systems and sales of lottery terminals and equipment in
connection with the expansion of existing lottery systems. The size and timing
of these transactions have resulted in variability in product sales revenues
from period to period.
The Company's business is highly regulated, and the competition to secure new
government contracts is often intense. Awards of contracts to the Company also,
from time to time, are challenged by competitors. Further, there have been and
continue to be investigations of various types, including federal grand jury
investigations, conducted by governmental authorities into possible
improprieties and wrongdoing in connection with efforts to obtain and/or the
awarding of lottery contracts and related matters. Although the Company does not
believe that it has engaged in any wrongdoing in connection with these matters,
certain investigations are still underway and are conducted largely in secret.
Accordingly, the Company lacks sufficient information to determine with
certainty their ultimate scope and whether the government authorities will
assert claims resulting from these or other investigations that could implicate
or reflect adversely upon the Company. Because the Company's reputation for
integrity is an important factor in its business dealings with lottery and other
government agencies, if government authorities were to make an allegation of, or
if there were to be a finding of, improper conduct on the part of or
attributable to the Company in any matter, such an allegation or finding could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, including its ability
to retain existing contracts and to obtain new or renewal contracts. See "Legal
Proceedings" in Part II, Item 1 herein and in Item 3 of the Company's fiscal
1996 annual report on Form 10-K and see Note H to the Consolidated Financial
Statements in the Company's fiscal 1996 annual report on Form 10-K for further
information concerning these matters and other contingencies.
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ materially from the
results discussed in the forward-looking statements. See Item 1 "Business" and
Item 7 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" in the Company's fiscal 1996 Form 10-K.
Results of Operations
Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were $211.2 million, representing
a $31.8 million, or 17.7%, increase over revenues of $179.4 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996.
Service revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were $195 million,
representing a $29.7 million, or 17.9%, increase over the $165.3 million of
service revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in service
revenues resulted primarily from $13.7 million of service revenues from Racimec
(the Company's subsidiary in Brazil), higher revenues of $10.7 million from the
Company's existing customer base, $5 million of service revenues from
Transactive (the Company's electronic benefits delivery subsidiary) and $.3
million of service revenues from new on-line lottery systems operated by the
Company that commenced operations since the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The
results of Racimec for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 were included on the
equity method of accounting, while its results for the first quarter of fiscal
1997 have been consolidated.
Product sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were $16.2 million,
representing a $2.1 million, or 14.8%, increase from the $14.1 million of
product sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in product sales
resulted primarily from the sale of one new central system and one new instant
ticket validation system in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared with no
such sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. In addition, the Company had
higher lottery terminal sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 than the first
quarter of fiscal 1996. These increases were partially offset by lower sales of
component parts and equipment in connection with the United Kingdom operations.
The Company sold approximately 1,100 lottery terminals during the first quarter
of fiscal 1997, as compared to approximately 700 lottery terminals during the
first quarter of fiscal 1996.
<PAGE>
Gross margins on service revenues decreased to 32.4% in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 from 37.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 due principally to
operating losses incurred at Racimec during the first quarter of fiscal 1997
relating to the start-up of new on-line state lottery networks that began
operations during fiscal 1996. In addition, the Company incurred higher service
costs, particularly in Europe, by adding additional resources to improve
customer satisfaction and to better position the Company to support expected new
business opportunities. There was no significant jackpot activity in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to a relatively high level of jackpot
activity in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The high service margins
experienced during the first quarter of fiscal 1996 from jackpot activity were
substantially replaced with margins earned from expanded services and new
lottery games (such as keno) introduced during fiscal 1996.
In line with management's expectations, Racimec and Transactive incurred
operating losses in the quarter due to the start-up nature of these businesses.
A revenue enhancement and cost reduction plan for Racimec was implemented during
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, and management continues to expect that
Racimec's pre-tax operating results for fiscal 1997 will substantially improve
over fiscal 1996. During the second half of fiscal 1996, the Company implemented
a plan for Transactive to enhance its existing revenue streams, reduce operating
costs, leverage its infrastructure within existing states with new applications
and win business with new states. The Company has confidence in this plan and
continues to monitor its progress carefully. In addition, the Company may
consider alternatives to increase the value of Transactive, including joint
venturing with another entity. However, there can be no assurance that these
efforts will be successful, and if they are not successful, the Company may be
required to recognize a loss on a portion of its investment in these businesses.
Gross margins on product sales fluctuate depending primarily on the mix and
timing of product sales contracts. Gross margins on product sales increased to
43.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from 26.9% in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 due primarily to higher margins from central system and instant
ticket validation system sales, along with higher margins on terminal sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 1997
were $30 million, representing a $4.4 million, or 17%, increase from the $25.6
million incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. This increase was
primarily attributable to higher administrative costs that were necessary to
support expanded operations (including two of the Company's newly formed
ventures, Dreamport and WorldServ) and increased sales and marketing activity.
As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were
14.2% and 14.3% during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Research and development expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were $6.6
million, representing a $.9 million, or 12%, decrease from research and
development expenses of $7.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The
decrease in expenses reflects a higher level of software engineering cost
capitalized for new on-line lottery system projects. As a percentage of
revenues, research and development expenses were 3.1% and 4.2% during the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Interest income in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was $.6 million, a decrease
of $1.5 million over interest income of $2.1 million earned during the first
quarter of fiscal 1996. The Company earned approximately $1.4 million of
interest income on loans to Racimec during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the first quarter of fiscal
1997 was $3.2 million, an increase of $.9 million over the $2.3 million earned
during the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase was due primarily to the
consolidation of Racimec and the resulting absence of equity losses from Racimec
for the first quarter of fiscal 1997, partially offset by lower equity income
from the United Kingdom operations.
The Company's effective income tax rate of 42% for both the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 and first quarter of fiscal 1996 was greater than the statutory rate
due primarily to state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible
for income tax purposes.
In May 1996, the Company and the Texas lottery authority extended the term of
their agreement for five years (from September 1, 1997 through August 2002) and
amended it to provide for the Company to furnish the Texas lottery authority
with a new central system, additional terminals and other lottery equipment and
services. The amendment also annually reduces over its five-year term the
percentage rate of the Texas lottery's revenues which the Company is to receive
as compensation under its agreement with the Texas lottery authority. However,
the Company believes that the effect of the reduction in the percentage rate
will be more than offset by the addition of more terminals along with
anticipated new games, but there can be no assurance that this will be the case.
As previously announced, on June 24, 1996 the California Supreme Court, in the
case of Western Telcon, Inc. et. al. v. California State Lottery, decided that
the California State Lottery's keno game is not a lottery game and therefore is
not authorized by California lottery law. The Supreme Court reversed the trial
court and appellate court decisions and found keno to be a banked game rather
than a lottery because it provides for a fixed prize which is not dependent upon
the size of the prize pool. Consequently, the California State Lottery suspended
operation of the keno game on June 24, 1996. The Company has formulated, and is
discussing with the California State Lottery, a plan to modify the keno game
and, on the basis of such discussions, does not believe that the interruption of
the keno game will have a material adverse effect on the Company's fiscal 1997
operating results.
<PAGE>
In August 1995, the suit Donald J. Trump v. Jeffrey S. Perlee et. al. was filed
in the New York County Supreme Court against the New York State Lottery seeking
declaratory and injunctive relief to prohibit the Lottery's Quick-Draw Game.
Recently, the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division affirmed the trial
court's denial of Mr. Trump's motion for a preliminary injunction in this case.
Changes in Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company generated $52.8 million of
cash from operations. This cash was used primarily to fund the purchase of $40.8
million of systems, equipment and other assets relating to contracts, the
purchase of $2.7 million of property, plant and equipment and the repayment of
$8.5 million of long-term debt.
The cost of systems, equipment and other assets relating to contracts increased
by $43.6 million from $887.2 million at February 24, 1996 to $930.8 million at
May 25, 1996. This increase reflects the continuing installation of new lottery
networks in the States of Washington and Missouri and the expansion of lottery
systems in several domestic and international locations.
Trade accounts receivable increased by $3.6 million from $73.8 million at
February 24, 1996 to $77.4 million at May 25, 1996, due primarily to the
increase in product sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1996.
Inventories increased by $3.4 million from $43.7 million at February 24, 1996 to
$47.1 million at May 25, 1996, in anticipation of the award of a new contract
with the State of New Jersey. The Company on relatively infrequent occasions,
begins to manufacture terminals prior to the actual award of a contract in order
to enable the Company to perform promptly under the contract in the event it is
awarded to the Company. In this instance, should the Company not be awarded the
contract, it is expected that the terminals manufactured would be used in
connection with other contracts.
Accounts payable decreased by $6.2 million from $46.3 million at February 24,
1996 to $40.1 million at May 25, 1996, due primarily to timing of payments.
Accrued employee compensation decreased by $7.6 million from $24.9 million at
February 24, 1996 to $17.3 million at May 25, 1996, due primarily to the payment
of fiscal 1996 management bonuses.
The Company's business is capital-intensive. Although it is not possible to
estimate precisely, due to the nature of the business, the Company currently
anticipates that the level of capital expenditures for lottery and government
services contracts required during fiscal 1997 will be lower than that expended
in fiscal 1996. The Company currently anticipates that capital expenditures for
property, plant and equipment in fiscal 1997 will approximate the fiscal 1996
levels. The principal sources of liquidity for the Company are expected to be
cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Company's $500 million
Credit Facility. On June 25, 1996 there was approximately $359 million of
borrowing outstanding and an additional $141 million available for borrowing
under the Credit Facility. The Company currently expects that its cash flow from
operations and available borrowings under its Credit Facility, together, if
necessary, with other sources of capital believed to be available, will be
sufficient to permit it to meet its anticipated working capital and ordinary
capital expenditure needs, to service its debt obligations and to permit it to
fund anticipated internal growth. However, the Company is currently reviewing
its debt structure and is considering refunding and/or increasing its debt
capacity.
<PAGE>
Inflation, Interest Rates and Foreign Exchange Fluctuation
The impact of inflation on the Company's operations has not been significant to
date. While the Company believes that its business is not highly sensitive to
inflation, there can be no assurance that a high rate of inflation in the future
would not have an adverse effect on the Company's operations.
The Company uses various interest rate hedging instruments to reduce the risk
associated with future increases in interest rates on its floating rate
long-term debt. On November 8, 1994, the Company entered into two interest rate
corridors with an aggregate notional amount of $165.0 million that provide
interest rate protection to November 8, 1996. The corridors effectively entitle
the Company to receive payments from the financial institutions that are
counterparties to the corridors should the three-month London Interbank Offered
Rates ("LIBOR") be between 6.75% and 8.75%. Should LIBOR exceed 8.75%, the
Company will receive a payment up to the 8.75% ceiling but not above. At May 25,
1996, LIBOR was approximately 5.5%.
On January 24, 1996, the Company entered into three interest rate swaps with an
aggregate notional amount of $125.0 million that provide interest rate
protection over the period January 26, 1996 to April 28, 1997. The swaps
effectively entitle the Company to receive payments from the financial
institutions that are counterparties to the swaps should LIBOR exceed
approximately 5.05%.
The Company attempts to manage its foreign exchange risk by securing payment
from its customers in U.S. dollars, by sharing risk with its customers, by
utilizing foreign currency borrowings, by leading and lagging receipts and
payments and by entering into forward foreign exchange contracts. In addition, a
significant portion of the costs attributable to the Company's foreign currency
revenues are incurred in the local currencies.
The Company, from time to time, enters into foreign currency exchange contracts
to hedge certain firm sales commitments, anticipated revenue streams and certain
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The effect of this
practice is to minimize the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on the
Company's operating income. The Company does not engage in currency speculation.
Gains and losses on contracts that hedge specific foreign currency commitments
are deferred and accounted for as part of the transaction being hedged.
Contracts used to hedge anticipated revenue streams and certain assets and
liabilities are marked to market, and the resulting transaction gain or loss is
included in the determination of net income. As of May 25, 1996, the Company had
approximately $15.8 million of forward foreign exchange contracts, primarily
denominated in Deutschemarks, Irish pounds and British pounds.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As previously publicly reported, in October 1994, it was announced by the U.S.
Attorney's Offices for the Western District of Kentucky and for the District of
New Jersey that separate indictments had been returned by federal grand juries
in those jurisdictions against J. David Smith, the former sales manager of the
Company (who resigned in early 1994 for reasons unrelated to the indictments),
and several other individuals who served as consultants or suppliers to the
Company. The indictments alleged essentially that, unbeknownst to the Company,
Mr. Smith received kickbacks from the consultants and suppliers, which charges,
if true, make the Company a victim. The indictments do not charge the Company
with any wrongdoing, and the actions complained of did not affect the Company's
Kentucky or New Jersey lottery operations. On January 9, 1995 the trial of Mr.
Smith commenced in Kentucky and on January 12, 1995, the U.S. District Court for
the Western District of Kentucky granted the defendant's motion for judgment of
acquittal and dismissed all charges against Mr. Smith and the other defendant, a
GTECH supplier, at the conclusion of the Government's case. The Company
understands that the New Jersey trial of Mr. Smith is scheduled to commence in
September 1996. The Company has cooperated and continues to cooperate with the
U.S. Attorney's Office by providing documents in response to subpoenas issued to
it.
On March 8, 1996, Automated Wagering International, Inc. ("AWI") filed an
administrative protest of the intended award of the New Jersey lottery contract
to the Company. AWI alleged that: (i) there are questions regarding the
Company's integrity which will impair public confidence in the lottery and (ii)
the Company's proposal materially deviated from the requirements of the request
for proposals and, therefore, the Company's bid should be rejected. On May 31,
1996, the hearing officer issued his Findings and Decision respecting this
administrative protest to the Director of the New Jersey Department of Treasury
Division of Purchase and Property, finding, in essence, no merit to AWI's
protest. By letter dated June 14, 1996, the Director advised the Company of her
award of the contract to the Company. On June 17, 1996, AWI requested that the
Director stay the signing and implementation of the contract to afford AWI the
opportunity to consider an appeal of the award, and the Director granted a
temporary stay through June 21, 1996. On June 21, 1996, the Director lifted the
stay and made final award of the contract to the Company.
At the end of May 1994, several shareholder class action lawsuits were brought
against the Company and various of its executive officers (Messrs. Snowden,
Markowicz and Breakstone) in the U.S. District Court of Rhode Island relating to
the Company's May 25, 1994 announcement that earnings for its 1995 fiscal year
could be at or below fiscal 1994 levels. On September 23, 1994, the plaintiffs
in these actions filed an Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint which
generally alleged that the defendants violated federal securities laws in
disseminating materially false and misleading statements about the Company's
prospects and failing to disclose on a timely basis the fact that fiscal 1995
earnings were expected to be less than allegedly anticipated by the public. The
complaint sought to recover monetary damages from the Company and the individual
defendants. This complaint was eventually dismissed for failing sufficiently to
state a meritorious claim; and on May 23, 1995, the plaintiffs filed a Second
Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint making essentially similar
allegations. On June 9, 1995, the Company announced that, in order to avoid the
costs and disruptions of further proceedings, it had reached a settlement of
this lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company and its insurer
have agreed to pay an aggregate of $1,250,000 in full settlement of all claims
against the Company and the other defendants. On June 21, 1996, the Federal
District Court of Rhode Island approved the terms of the settlement.

AMENDMENT
TO THE
CONTRACT FOR THE
TEXAS LOTTERY OPERATOR
FOR THE
STATE OF TEXAS
BETWEEN
COMPTROLLER OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS - LOTTERY DIVISION
AND
GTECH CORPORATION
("CONTRACT")
WHEREAS, the Texas Lottery Commission ("Lottery") was created by the provisions
of HB 1587, 73rd Legislature, Regular Session and in accordance with HB 1587 the
Comptroller of Public Accounts transferred all obligations relating to the
administration and operation of the State Lottery to the Lottery; and
WHEREAS, the Lottery and GTECH Corporation ("GTECH") desire to amend the
Contract to provide the Lottery with additional on-line terminals; and
WHEREAS, the parties wish to assess liquidated damages relating to the system
and/or terminal downtime using a different methodology than the methodology set
out in the Contract; and
WHEREAS, the Lottery desires to be provided with information relating to Texas
lottery operations, including system and terminal downtimes; and
WHEREAS, SECTION VI of the Contract provides that the parties may by mutual
agreement modify the Contract;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. For purposes of this Amendment to the Contract, "terminal" means on-line
terminal and "terminal down" means the inability of a terminal to generate
sales.
2. The effective date of this Amendment to the Contract is June 1, 1994.
3. GTECH will provide the Lottery with an additional 3,000 on-line terminals,
for a total of 13,000 terminals installed in Texas. GTECH will maintain a
retailer base of 13,000 on-line terminals. The Lottery acknowledges that
approximately 11,000 on-line terminals have been installed, leaving 2,000
on-line terminals to be installed.
Any provision contained in the Contract or Exhibits thereto which is
inconsistent or conflicts with the foregoing language is hereby superseded. At a
minimum, the Contract provisions which the parties acknowledge are inconsistent
and in conflict with the foregoing language and hereby superseded are: (1) the
first sentence of the first paragraph of Section 6.12 of Exhibit A to the
Contract and (2) the second sentence of the third paragraph of Section 6.1 of
Exhibit A to the Contract.
4. In conjunction with the installation by GTECH of the additional 2,000 on-line
terminals, GTECH will provide an installation schedule to the Lottery within
thirty (30) days of receiving a list of the retailers approved for installation
by the Lottery. Such installation schedule will include an evenly distributed
number of terminals to be installed monthly over an eighteen (18) month period
and is subject to the written approval of the Lottery, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
Further, GTECH shall commence installation of the terminals after the later of:
(a) ninety (90) days from receiving a list of retailers approved for
installation by the Lottery, and (b) the Lottery's approval of the installation
schedule. For each additional list of retailers provided by the Lottery to
GTECH, the provisions of Section 4 of this Amendment apply. GTECH will conclude
installation of all terminals within eighteen (18) months after commencement of
installation of the terminals based on the initial list of retailers. In the
event however that successful completion is not accomplished as a direct cause
of factors beyond GTECH's control including, without limitation, (a) the
telephone company's physical incapability to install a terminal, and (b) the
retailer's lack of cooperation and/or inability to install a terminal, the time
limitation for completion of such terminals will be extended without penalty
until the required number of terminals is Installed. Failure to install the
on-line terminals in accordance with the installation schedule shall result in
the assessment of liquidated damages in the amount of $1,000 per terminal not
installed and additional liquidated damages of $100 per day, per terminal.
<PAGE>
During the installation of the terminals as set out in the aforementioned
installation schedule, damages shall not be assessed against GTECH for terminal
downtime as a direct result of the terminal installation and related solely to
telecommunication failures of GTECH's subcontractor(s). If such downtime occurs,
GTECH will notify the Lottery of the downtime within one (1) hour of GTECH
becoming aware of the downtime. Within one business day of such notification,
GTECH will provide such notification in writing and include any additional
information that is available at that time. Within one (1) business day of GTECH
having sufficient information to determine exact cause for the terminal
downtime, GTECH will provide documentation to the Lottery which establishes that
the sole cause of such downtime is telecommunication failures of GTECH's
subcontractor(s) as a result of the installation of the 2,000 terminals. If
GTECH fails to provide the Lottery with the aforementioned documentation within
one week of such notification or if the documentation does not, within the
Lottery's sole judgment, show that the sole cause of the terminal downtime is
telecommunication failure of GTECH's subcontractors due to the installation of
the 2,000 terminals, the Lottery shall assess liquidated damages against GTECH
for such downtime. In the event liquidated damages are assessed against GTECH,
such damages will be assessed using the methodology set out in Paragraph 6b of
this Amendment to the Contract. The provisions of this paragraph are not
effective until GTECH has received written approval by the Lottery of the
installation schedule and, said provisions of this paragraph shall terminate
eighteen (18) months after commencement of installation of the terminals based
on the initial list of retailers.
Any provision contained in the Contract or the Exhibits thereto which is
inconsistent or conflicts with the foregoing language is hereby superseded and
replaced with the foregoing language.
5. Reports
GTECH will provide incident reports to the Lottery within one business day of
the event or incident giving rise to the incident report. Such event or incident
is construed to relate to any Lottery operation, including system and/or
terminal downtime; provided that such definition, as it applies to terminal
downtime, does not include an incident which occurs in the ordinary course of
business. A terminal incident report shall include the amount of terminal
downtime for each terminal that is down, the net sales revenue for the terminal
that is down for the preceding ten weeks with respect to the specific day of the
week on which the downtime occurred, and the GTECH-calculated liquidated damages
for each terminal that is down. The Lottery has the sole discretion to determine
the correct amount of liquidated damages to be assessed. Liquidated damages
shall be assessed against GTECH in the amount of $1,000 per day for failure to
provide such incident reports within the aforementioned time period.
Any provision contained in the Contract or Exhibits thereto which is
inconsistent or conflicts with the foregoing language is hereby superseded and
replaced with the foregoing language.
6. Downtime
a. System Downtime (On-Line). System Downtime is defined as a failure of the
central system to process on-line wagers or cashes. In the event GTECH's On-Line
system is down more than ten (10) minutes in the aggregate per week, GTECH will
be assessed liquidated damages for each minute, or fraction thereof, over ten
(10) minutes in the aggregate per week in an amount equal to the "Lost Net
Revenue" up to a lit of $250,000.00 per day. "Lost Net Revenue" means the
average per minute, or fraction thereof, net sales revenue received by the
Lottery over the prior ten week period with respect to the specific day of the
week on which the downtime occurred multiplied by the number of minutes the
system is down multiplied by thirty-five percent (35%). For purposes of this
paragraph, "week" means a seven (7) day period, Sunday through Saturday. For
purposes of this Contract, the parties acknowledge that thirty-five percent
(35%) is the reasonable percent of net loss of sales revenue to the State.
Example: For two (2) minutes of downtime on a Monday in excess of the ten (10)
minutes in the aggregate per week, liquidated damages would be assessed as
follows: "Lost Net Revenue" equals the Sum of daily net on-line sales for the
prior ten (10) weeks' Mondays divided by ten (10) divided by 1080 (60 minutes x
18 hours) multiplied by two (2) minutes multiplied by thirty-five percent (35%).
In the event the Lottery does assess liquidated damages for system downtime,
similar damages for terminal downtime cannot be assessed for the same incident.
<PAGE>
Any provision contained in the Contract or Exhibits thereto which is
inconsistent or conflicts with the foregoing language is hereby superseded and
replaced with the foregoing language. At a minimum, the Contract provisions
which the parties acknowledge are inconsistent and conflicts with the foregoing
language and hereby superseded and replaced with the foregoing language are:
(1) Section 3.36.2.d of Exhibit A to the Contract and (2) The Answer to Question
18(c) of Exhibit A-1 to the Contract.
b. Terminal Downtime. In the event a GTECH on-line lottery terms is "down" in
any sales day, GTECH will be assessed liquidated damages, after applicable
response time, in an amount equal to the "Lost Net Terminal Revenue" up to a
total limit of $250,000.00 per day. "Lost Net Terminal Revenue" with respect to
a certain on-line lottery terminal means the average per minute net on-line
terminal sales revenue received by the Lottery over the prior ten week period
with respect to the specific terminal location and specific day of the week on
which the downtime occurred multiplied by the number of minutes the on-line
lottery terminal was down multiplied by thirty-five percent (35%). Example: For
six (6) minutes of downtime on a Wednesday, liquidated damages would be assessed
as follows: "Lost Net Terminal Revenue" equals the sum of daily net on-line
sales for the specific on-line terminal for the prior ten (10) weeks' Wednesdays
divided by ten (10) divided by 1080 (60 minutes multiplied by 18 hours)
multiplied by six (6) minutes multiplied by thirty-five percent (35%). For
purposes of this paragraph, Response time" shall mean one (1) hour after GTECH
has been notified of the "down" condition with respect to on-line lottery
terminals located in urban, high volume terminal locations and four (4) hours
for all other terminal locations. Response time shall apply solely in a
situation where the "down" condition of a terminal is caused by a failure of
equipment and/or wiring located at that particular Lottery terminal location.
Any provision contained in the Contract or Exhibits thereto which is
inconsistent or conflicts with the foregoing language is hereby superseded and
replaced with the foregoing language At a minimum, the Contract provisions which
the parties acknowledge are inconsistent and conflict with the foregoing
language and hereby superseded and replaced with the foregoing language are: (1)
Sections 3.36.2.e, 3.36.2.f, 3.36.2.g, and 3.36.2.h of Exhibit A to the Contract
and (2) the Answers to Question 19(a) and 19(b) of Exhibit A-1 to the Contact.
7. In consideration of the additional 3,000 on-line terminals and 1,000
Electronic Display Units which will generate additional revenue and services in
excess of any liquidated damages assessed or unassessed prior to the effective
date of this Contract, the Lottery will not deduct liquidated damages in the
amount of $1,604,200.00 from the compensation otherwise due to GTECH. In further
consideration of such terminals, as of the effective date of this Amendment to
the Contract, the Lottery will not assess liquidated damages for breaches of the
Contract that occurred prior to the effective date of this Amendment to the
Contract.
8. Except as amended hereby, all of the terms of the Contract remain in full
force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment, effective June 1,
1994.
