day of December, 1999 by and among PENN NATIONAL GAMING, INC., a Pennsylvania
corporation ("Borrower"); FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK, a national banking
association (for itself and in its capacity as agent hereunder, "Agent"); and
the banks signatory to this Amendment No. 3 (together with the Agent, each

BACKGROUND
Borrower and Banks entered into a Second Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement dated January 28, 1999, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Second
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Joinder of Subsidiary Guarantor dated
July 22, 1999 and Amendment No. 2 to and Consent under Second Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement dated July 29, 1999 (as amended hereby and as may be
further amended from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") for the purposes of
providing a revolving credit facility, for the financing of a loan from Borrower
to FR Park Racing L.P., the refinancing of certain existing indebtedness of
Borrower, the issuance of letters of credit for the benefit of Borrower, and for
the working capital needs and general corporate purposes of the Borrower.
Borrower has informed Agent and Banks of the intent

multiple draw term credit facility (the "Bank of America Facility") in the
original principal amount of $20,000,000 with Bank of America, N.A., as
Administrative Agent ("BA"), and lenders to be determined. The Bank of America
Facility will be used solely to finance or refinance the purchase by Borrower
and/or PNGWV of gaming equipment through: (i) the refinancing of the Term Loan
under the Credit Agreement and (ii) the payment of the purchase price for
additional gaming equipment and gaming-related fixtures and furniture for use at
the Xxxxxxx Town Race Track, together with related construction and
improvements. The obligations of PNGWV under the Bank of America Facility will
be: (i) guaranteed by the Borrower, under a guaranty of payment in favor of BA,
for the benefit of lenders under the Bank of America Facility (the "Bank of
America Guaranty") and (ii) secured by a grant to BA, for the benefit of all
lenders under the Bank of America Facility of: (A) a first priority security
interest in all gaming equipment and gaming-related fixtures and furniture
located at the Xxxxxxx Town Race Track, including without limitation the Xxxxxxx
Town Video Lottery Terminals (the "West Virginia Assets"), and (B) a pledge of
PNGWV's lessor interest under the operating lease (the "West Virginia Lease") of
such gaming equipment to the Xxxxxxx Town Joint Venture,

St. Louis and Boomtown Casino in Biloxi. The price is subject to adjustment. The
assets include approximately 590 acres of land in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.

square feet of casino space, a theatre, restaurants and other amenities. These
facilities are currently licensed and operated by Hollywood Park, Inc. Borrower

Park Transaction").

the Credit Agreement, and Banks have agreed to permit Borrower to enter into the

Security Agreement dated the date hereof by Penn National
Gaming of West Virginia, Inc. in favor of Bank of America,
N.A, as administrative agent for the benefit of the lenders
under the Bank of America Term Loan Agreement.
"Bank of America Term Loan Agreement" means the
Senior Secured Multiple Draw Term Loan Agreement dated the
date hereof by and among Penn National Gaming of West
Virginia, Inc., as borrower; Borrower, as guarantor; the

Amended Definition. The following definition found in Section 10 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended ------------------ and restated in its
entirety
"Asset Sale" shall mean any sale, transfer or other

(including by-way-of redemption of such Person) other than to
the Borrower or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower of
any asset (including, without limitation, any capital stock or

190
Consents, Waivers and Amendments.
--------------------------------
The security PNGWV will grant to BA to
secure the Bank of America Facility on the West Virginia
Assets will include a Lien on assets with a value exceeding $250,000, and
because such security extends beyond a Lien on the West Virginia Assets to
include an assignment of PNGWV's rights under the West Virginia Lease, BA's Lien
on the West Virginia Assets is not permitted by the exception set forth in
Section 8.01(viii) of the Credit Agreement and is not otherwise permitted by the
Credit Agreement. Banks hereby consent to PNGWV's grant of a security interest
to BA in the West Virginia Assets.
BA's Lien on the West Virginia Assets is not permitted by the exception set
forth in Section 8.01(viii) of the Credit Agreement, and therefore, by
cross-reference, the West Virginia Indebtedness is not purchase money
indebtedness permitted by Section 8.04(iv) of the Credit Agreement. Banks hereby
consent to the Borrower's incurrence of the West Virginia Indebtedness.
The security PNGWV will grant to BA for the
West Virginia Assets (including without limitation the
Xxxxxxx Town Video Lottery Terminals) is broader than a Lien on the West
Virginia Assets and includes, inter alia, an assignment of PNGWV's rights under
the West Virginia Lease, BA's Lien on the Xxxxxxx Town Video Lottery Terminals
is not permitted by the exceptions set forth in Section 8.01(xiv) of the Credit
Agreement and is not otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement. Banks hereby
consent to Borrower's grant of a Lien and negative pledge to BA on the Xxxxxxx
Town Video Lottery Terminals to the extent set forth in the documents evidencing
the Bank of America Facility as in effect on the date of this Amendment No. 3.
PNGWV's pledge to BA of its lessor interest under the West Virginia Lease
is not permitted due to Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement. Banks hereby
consent to PNGWV's pledge of its rights under the West Virginia Lease to BA.
The sale of the Xxxxxxx Town Video Lottery
Terminals must be in compliance with Sections 8.02 and
8.06 of the Credit Agreement. Banks hereby consent to the Borrower's sale of the
Xxxxxxx Town Video Lottery Terminals to PNGWV free and clear of any liens;
provided, however, that Borrower complies with the provisions of Sections
8.02(x) and (y) of the Credit Agreement and Section 8.06 of the Credit
Agreement.
. Sections 8.04 and 8.16 of the Credit Agreement prohibit the Borrower from
entering into the Bank of America Guaranty. Banks hereby consent to Borrower's
entering into the Bank of America Guaranty.
Banks hereby waive any mandatory prepayment which may be due to Banks under
Sections 3.03(b) or (c) of the Credit Agreement in connection with Borrower's
entering into the Bank of America Facility or the West Virginia Lease or the
Borrower's sale of the Xxxxxxx Town Video Lottery Terminals to PNGWV,
respectively.
Section 8.07 of the Credit Agreement (Leases) is hereby amended so that the
final word in the section is "$1,600,000" instead of "$1,400,000."
Section 8.08 of the Credit Agreement (Capital Expenditures) is hereby
amended so that the penultimate word in clause (a)(x) is "$10,000,000" and not
"$9,000,000"; and pursuant to clause (a)(y) of Section 8.08 of the Credit
Agreement, the Required Banks hereby approve $17,000,000 as permitted Capital
Expenditures for the fiscal year 2000.
