Colonial Downs Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

 1.  Significant Accounting Policies

      Principles of Consolidation

        The consolidated financial statements include the following entities
of Colonial Downs Holdings, Inc. (collectively, the "Company"), which are
affiliated through common ownership and control:

Colonial Downs, L.P. ("Partnership")
Stansley Racing Corp. ("SRC")
Colonial Downs Holdings, Inc. ("CD Holdings")

        The consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the
entities had operated as a single consolidated group as of December 31, 1993.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

        The Company's initial public offering ("IPO") became effective on March
17, 1997. The Company sold 4,250,000 shares of its common stock raising $35.9
million (net of expenses) which is being used to develop, construct, and operate
a pari-mutuel horse racing facility and up to six satellite wagering facilities
in Virginia.

        The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the
Company's customary accounting practices and has not been audited. In the
opinion of management, the information presented reflects all adjustments
necessary for a fair statement of interim results. All such adjustments are of a
normal and recurring nature. The foregoing interim results are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operation for the full year ending December 31,
1997.

                                       7

Restricted Cash and Purses Due Horsemen

        The Company has agreements with the Virginia Horseman's Benevolent and
Protective Association, Inc. and the Virginia Harness Horse Association
(collectively the "Associations") which require it to fund specified amounts
based on handle to restricted cash accounts to be used for live racing purses.
As of June 30, 1997 approximately $4,296,000 was held in the restricted cash
accounts, which, along with approximately $50,000 of funds to be remitted,
equals the amounts due for purses as of June 30, 1997.

Construction in Progress

         Construction in progress is recorded at cost and includes capitalized
costs such as architect, contractor, and engineering fees. Estimated cost to
complete the racetrack, including all furnishings and equipment, is
approximately $17.6 million as of June 30, 1997. Approximately $250,000 of
interest expense was capitalized during the six months ending June 30, 1997 in
connection with the construction of the racetrack.

         In March, 1997 the Company purchased land in Hampton, Virginia for a
purchase price of approximately $1.1 million to construct its third satellite
wagering facility, with an estimated cost of $3.9 million (including land), and
in June, 1997 purchased land in Brunswick County for a purchase price of
approximately $135,000 to construct its fourth satellite facility at an
estimated cost of $1.3 million (including land). The Company expects to open
both facilities late in the third quarter of 1997.

Income Taxes

         The Company and its subsidiaries will file a consolidated income tax
return. Prior to the Reorganization, the Partnership and SRC (an "S" corporation
for income tax purposes) filed income tax returns as separate entities. No
provisions have been made for income taxes for the Partnership and SRC as income
taxes are the liabilities of the individual partners and shareholders,
respectively. CD Holdings' activity began March 18, 1997 and the income tax from
such time forward has been provided for in the statements.

 2.  Management and Consulting Agreement with Maryland-Virginia Racing Circuit.

           The Company entered into a consulting agreement with the Maryland-
Virginia Racing Circuit, Inc. an affiliate of the Maryland Jockey Club ("MJC").
Pursuant to the agreement, MJC will suspend live racing at Pimlico and Laurel
racetracks during the Company's live thoroughbred racing meet and assist in
managing the thoroughbred racing meet at the Company's racing facility. The
first live thoroughbred meet is expected to commence September 1 and end October
12, with 30 days of racing. Under this agreement the Company paid MJC
approximately $912,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

 3.  Land Conveyance and Land Development

           The land required to build the racetrack and facilities in New Kent
County was conveyed to the Company, at no cost to the Company other than the
payment of transfer and filing fees and taxes, in March, 1997 from Chesapeake
Forest Products Company ("Chesapeake Forest"), the previous owner. Under the
deed, the land is subject to reversion to Chesapeake Forest if the Company fails
to complete, open and operate for three years a racetrack licensed by the
Virginia Racing Commission. Further, the deed restricts use of the property to
operation of a horse racetrack and certain ancillary activities. The land was
recorded in March 1997, at its fair value, which the Company estimates to be
approximately $5,000,000. Due to the retention of a reversionary interest by
Chesapeake Forest, the land was recorded as a refundable advance with an offset
to a liability account. The refundable advance will be reclassified to land, and
the corresponding liability will be reclassified to contributed capital when the
likelihood for reversion is remote, which is expected to be when the Company
completes the racing facility and has shown the ability to conduct live racing
during the next three years.

 5.  Related Party Transactions

         The Company had a management agreement to pay directly or indirectly to
SRC and CD Entertainment Ltd. a monthly management fee of $10,000 and $5,000,
respectively, per month until the closing of the IPO. In March 1997 the Company
paid $247,742 in accrued management fees. The management agreements terminated
upon the closing of the IPO.

         Virginia Concessions, L.L.C., an affiliate of shareholder CD
Entertainment Ltd., was granted an option by the Company to manage the food and
beverage concessions at the satellite facilities. Under the agreement, Virginia
Concessions, L.L.C. pays rent to the Company based on gross sales. This rental
income for the Company for the six months ending June 30, 1997 was $88,448. In
April 1997, the Company entered into a management agreement to manage Virginia
Concessions in return for the net income (or losses) from the operation of the
food and beverage concessions.

         Norglass, Inc., an affiliate of a shareholder, is engaged as the
general contractor to construct the racetrack and related facilities in New Kent
County, Virginia. The contract value with Norglass, Inc. for the facility is
$29.5 million. Norglass, Inc. has also been engaged to perform construction
management related to the satellite facilities. Total racetrack construction
cost incurred with Norglass, Inc. was approximately $16,040,000 through June 30,
1997. Norglass, Inc. receives a fee of $2 million under the racetrack
construction contract and reimbursement of up to $1 million for certain out-of-
pocket expenses. In addition, Norglass, Inc. has been paid approximately $2.6
million in construction cost related to the SWFs.

         The Company agreed to pay Premier One Development Co. ("Premier"), a
company affiliated with a shareholder of the Company, CD Entertainment Ltd., a
fee of $250,000 (of which $125,000 was paid in 1996, $32,000 in March 1997 and
$93,000 in April 1997) for services related to the construction of the Track and
the development of the satellite facilities.

 6.  Earnings per share

         Earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and
June 30, 1996 was computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the periods. (Prior to the reorganization of
the Company effective March 12, 1997, the private owners of the Company held
partnership interests which were converted to 3,000,000 shares of stock as part
of the reorganization). Outstanding stock options and shares issuable upon the
conversion of an outstanding convertible subordinated promissory note were
excluded from the earnings per share calculation as the effect of such were
anti-dilutive as of June 30, 1997.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition

     The Company was organized to pursue opportunities for horse racing and
pari-mutuel wagering in Virginia. The Company is the only entity that has been
awarded unlimited licenses to own and operate a horse racetrack with pari-mutuel
wagering in Virginia and is currently the only entity eligible to apply for
licenses to own and operate satellite wagering facilities ("SWFs") in Virginia.
The Company currently operates SWFs in Chesapeake and Richmond, Virginia and has
received licenses to own and operate facilities in each of Hampton and Brunswick
County, Virginia. The Company plans to conduct thoroughbred and standardbred
("harness") horse racing at a racetrack that it is currently constructing in New
Kent County, Virginia (the "Track"). The Company's inaugural thoroughbred meet
is scheduled to commence September 1, 1997 with thirty (30) days of live racing
ending October 12, 1997. The Company also intends to conduct pari-mutuel
wagering at the Track and at its SWFs on races run at the Track and on races
telecast from out-of-state tracks. After it begins live racing at the Track, the
Company will seek to increase its revenues by entering into agreements to
simulcast races run at the Track to out-of-state racetracks, SWFs, casinos, and
other gaming facilities.

     The Company's goal is to establish the Track as one of the premier venues
for thoroughbred horse racing in the east by attracting high quality horses and
offering an appealing environment for racing participants and customers. The
Company believes that its average purses will be competitive with those
currently offered by most other tracks in the mid-Atlantic region that hold
racing meets at the same time as the Company's scheduled meets, enabling the
Track to attract high quality thoroughbred horses, trainers, and jockeys to the
Company's meets.

     For the first six months of 1997, assets of the Company increased from
$12,176,000 at December 31, 1996 to $63,511,000 at June 30, 1997 largely as
result of the closing of the Company's IPO, yielding the Company net proceeds of
approximately $35.9 million. The Company has invested these proceeds on a short
term basis pending expenditures for the continuing development, construction and
equipping of its racetrack, satellite wagering facilities and related
facilities. Additionally the Company took title to the real estate upon which
the racetrack is being constructed. (The value of such property is treated as a
refundable advance until such time as the likelihood of reversion to the
property's grantor is remote. See footnote 3 to the financial statements).


                                       12

<PAGE>


     Total liabilities increased in the same period from $11,180,000 at December
31, 1996 to $25,753,000 at June 30, 1997. The increase in liabilities is mainly
attributable to the entry of the contribution of land to the Company by
Chesapeake Forest Products Company as a refundable advance (see footnote 3 to
the financial statements), an increase in loans from the Company's shareholders,
an increase in purses due horsemen, and an increase in accounts payable due to
construction of the Track.


Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to three months ended June 30, 1996

     Total revenue increased by approximately $2.7 million or 117% from $2.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $5.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997. The increase was attributable to two satellite
wagering facilities, in Chesapeake and Richmond, being in operation during the
entire three months of 1997 versus only the Chesapeake facility, which opened
February 17, 1996, conducting satellite wagering for the three months ended June
30, 1996.

     Total operating expenses increased by approximately $2.2 million or 92%
from $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $4.6 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in operating expenses
resulted from operating two satellite wagering facilities 1997 versus one in
1996.

     Other income comprised primarily of interest earnings increased $372,000 to
$368,000 as a result of investing the IPO proceeds.

      Earnings from operations increased by approximately $520,000 from a loss
of ($125,000) to earnings of $395,000 due to the factors described above.

      Net earnings increased by approximately $602,000 from a loss of ($129,000)
to net earnings of $473,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 due to the
factors described above. Income tax expense increased from $0 to $290,000 due to
the increase in net income for the period.


Six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to six months ended June 30, 1996

     Total revenue increased by approximately $6.8 million or 189% from $3.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $10.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. The increase was attributable to two satellite
wagering facilities, in Chesapeake and Richmond, being in operation during the
entire six months of 1997 versus only the

                                       13
<PAGE>


Chesapeake facility, which opened February 17, 1996, conducting satellite
wagering operations for a portion of the six months ended June 30, 1996.

     Total operating expenses increased by approximately $5.8 million or 153%
from $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $9.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in operating expenses resulted from
operating two satellite wagering facilities for the six month period in 1997
versus only one for a portion of the six month period ended June 30, 1996.

     Other income comprised primarily of interest earnings increased $382,000
due to earnings from investing the IPO proceeds.

     Earnings from operations increased by approximately $1,041,000 from a loss
of ($168,000) to earnings of $873,000 due to the factors described above.

     Net earnings increased by approximately $1,097,000 from a loss of
($195,000) to net earnings of $902,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997
due to the factors described above. Income tax expense increased from $0 to
$326,000 due to the increase in net income for the period.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have been
stockholders loans and proceeds from the initial public offering of the
Company's common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's
cash position increased by approximately $23 million from $1.4 million at
December 31, 1996 to $24.4 million at June 30, 1997 as a result of approximately
$36.2 million in proceeds from the stock offering, a $3.9 million increase in
stockholder notes payable, a $2.1 million increase in accounts payable for
purchases of property, equipment and construction, a $1.6 million increase from
operating activities and a $.1 million increase in other debt offset primarily
by $19.3 million of cash absorbed by construction in progress and purchases of
property and equipment, and $1.6 million of cash absorbed funding purse account
promissory notes. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 the Company's cash
position increased approximately $.2 million.

     Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
1997 totaled approximately $1.6 million. This was a result of net earnings and
depreciation, $1.1 million, an increase in accounts payable, purses payable and
accrued expenses of $1.1 million offset by an increase in accounts receivable
and other assets of $.6 million and funding of purse account promissory notes of
$1.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net cash provided by
operations was $.6 million.

     Cash flows used in investing activities totaled approximately $ 17.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $1.7 million for
the six months ended June

                                       14
<PAGE>


30, 1996. Capital expenditures made in the six months ended June 30, 1997 were
primarily for the purchase of land and beginning construction of the Hampton
satellite facility ($1.4 million), the purchase and the development of the
Brunswick property ($.2 million) and for the continued construction of the race
track in New Kent County ($17.6 million). In addition, the other assets
increased $.1 million during this period. These investing activities were offset
by $2.1 million increase in accounts payable for purchases of property,
equipment and construction. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 capital
expenditures were primarily for the build out and equipping of the Chesapeake
satellite wagering facility ($1.7 million).

        Cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
1997 totaled approximately $ 38.6 million. This was primarily the result of the
stock offering of 4,250,000 shares of common stock which provided proceeds of
approximately $36.2 million and net increased stockholder loans and other debt
of $4.0 million offset by $1.6 million in funding of purse account promissory
notes. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 cash flows from financing
activities was approximately $ 1.3 million primarily from increased stockholder
loans and proceeds from purse account promissory notes.

        Colonial Downs, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a subsidiary of the Company
entered into a $10 million Construction Loan Agreement (the "Construction
Facility") with PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC") and a $5 million
Revolving Line of Credit Agreement ("Revolving Credit Facility") with PNC as of
June 26, 1997. Proceeds of the Construction Facility will be used for the
construction of Colonial Downs' racetrack in New Kent County, Virginia. Proceeds
of the Revolving Credit Facility will be available for working capital needs and
other general Company purposes. Amounts outstanding under each credit facility
bear interest at the rate of PNC's prime plus one and one-half percent (1.5%) or
LIBOR plus three percent (3%), at the Company's option. Each facility has a term
of three (3) years subject to two one-year extensions at the option of the
Company provided that certain financial covenants are satisfied.

        The credit facilities are secured by a first deed of trust on the
racetrack and the improvements thereon (except with respect to certain specified
equipment), accounts and certain other property of the Company. Additionally,
all loans under the credit facilities are guaranteed by the Company, Stansley
Racing Corp., and certain of its officers, directors and shareholders. The
Company's guarantee is secured by the deed of trust and a pledge of the
Company's partnership interest in the Partnership. The Company is obligated to
pay an annual guarantee fee of the greater of (i) three percent (3%) of the
average outstanding balance of the credit facilities or (ii) $50,000 to an
affiliate of the non-corporate guarantors.

        The Construction Loan Agreement, the Revolving Line of Credit Agreement,
and the Company's guaranty contain a number of covenants that restrict the
operations of the Company including, among other things: (i) the disposition of
assets at the racetrack, (ii) the incurrence of certain liens, and (iii)
fundamental changes in the structure of the

                                       15

<PAGE>

Company, its subsidiaries and their business operations, including mergers,
liquidations or dissolutions.

     No funds had been loaned under the Construction Facility or the
Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 1997. It is anticipated that the
Company will draw funds under the Construction Facility in mid-August.

     The remaining proceeds from the stock offering and from the foregoing loans
will be used to complete construction and equipping of the racetrack
(approximately $17.6 million), complete construction of the Hampton satellite
facility (approximately $2.5 million, complete construction of the Brunswick
County satellite facility (approximately $1.1 million) and to complete the
opening of two additional satellite facilities projected for 1998 ($2.0
million). The Hampton satellite facility is currently under construction and is
projected to open late in the third quarter of this year. Construction of the
Brunswick facility is expected to start in August 1997 and it is also projected
to open late in the third quarter of this year.

     The Company believes that the cash on hand, cash generated from operations,
and the above credit facility will be sufficient to fund its anticipated future
cash requirements.

Seasonality

     The Company's revenues and net income may fluctuate from quarter to quarter
for a variety of reasons. For example, revenues may be higher during scheduled
live racing than at other times of the year (the Company conducted no live
racing in the second quarter of 1997, only imported simulcasting at its SWFs).
In addition, weather conditions sometimes cause cancellation of outdoor horse
races or curtail attendance, both of which reduce wagering. Attendance and
wagering at both outdoor races and indoor SWFs also may be adversely affected by
certain holidays and professional and college sports seasons as well as other
recreational activities. Conversely, attendance and wagering may be favorably
affected by special racing events which stimulate interest in horse racing, such
as the Triple Crown races in May and June and the Breeders' Cup in November.

                           Part II - Other Information

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

     Robin J. Pearsall and Monument Avenue Park Association, an unincorporated
association representing certain individuals residing close to the Richmond
satellite wagering facility ("SWF"), filed suit in Richmond Circuit Court on
July 11, 1996, against the Virginia Racing Commission. (Robin J. Pearsall and
Monument Avenue Park Association v. The Virginia Racing Commission.) The Company
intervened as a party on January 28, 1997. The suit seeks to overturn the award
of the Company's licenses for the Richmond SWF on the grounds that the
referendum approving the locating of an SWF in Richmond was void; that the
Virginia Racing Commission did not have authority to issue the licenses under
the Virginia Racing Act; and that no SWF licenses could be issued until
completion of construction of the Track. The case was dismissed by order entered
February 20, 1997, in which the judge found that Ms. Pearsall and the
Association lacked standing to challenge the Virginia Racing Commission's
actions. Ms. Pearsall and the Association filed a motion to vacate the court's
order, which motion was denied by order dated March 12, 1997. Ms. Pearsall and
the Association appealed the court's decision to the Virginia Court of Appeals,
an intermediate appellate court, by notice of appeal filed March 21, 1997. The
parties have filed appellate briefs. The Virginia Court of Appeals has not
determined if or when to hear oral arguments in the case.

     Although the ultimate outcome of this proceeding cannot be predicted, the
Company believes that it will be ultimately resolved in a manner that will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations,
liquidity, or financial condition.

Item 5 - Other Information

         Ian M. Stewart was appointed Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
of the Company effective as of June 23, 1997. Mr. Stewart was formerly Chief
Financial Officer of Hat Brands, Inc. and was a senior manager with Deloitte &
Touche. Mr Stewart replaces Robert Hughes who continues to work for an affiliate
of CD Entertainment Ltd.

         The Company entered into a Management Agreement with Virginia
Concessions which serves to modify the Food and Beverage Concessions Agreement.
Pursuant to the Management Agreement, effective April 1, 1997, the Company
agreed to manage and oversee Virginia Concession's operations at the Track and
the initial six SWFs. The agreement serves to centralize management of the
complete operations of the Track and SWFs and is expected to result in enhanced
efficiency at the Company's facilities. Virginia Concessions remains responsible
for the performance of its duties under its Food and Beverages Concession
Agreement, subject to the Company's managerial assistance. For its services, the
Company will receive the net income (or losses) from the operation of food and
beverage concessions. Additionally, the Management Agreement accelerates the
Company's option to terminate the Food and Beverage Concessions Agreement from
two years after the opening of the sixth SWF to August 1, 1998 upon the
Company's payment of a termination fee consistent with that provided in the Food
and Beverage Concessions Agreement.

                              MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT


         THIS MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is entered into as of July

among COLONIAL DOWNS, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership ("Colonial Downs"),
STANSLEY RACING CORP., a Virginia corporation ("Stansley Racing"), and VIRGINIA
CONCESSIONS, L.L.C., a Virginia limited liability company ("Virginia
Concessions").

                                    RECITALS

         WHEREAS, Colonial Downs holds a license from the Virginia Racing
Commission (the "Commission") to own a pari-mutuel horse racing facility in New
Kent County, Virginia (the "Racetrack");

         WHEREAS, Stansley Racing holds a license from the Commission to operate
the Racetrack;

         WHEREAS, Colonial Downs and Stansley Racing each hold a license to own
and operate, respectively, satellite pari-mutuel wagering facilities (each an
"SWF") in Richmond, Chesapeake, Hampton, and Brunswick, Virginia;

         WHEREAS, Colonial Downs, Stansley Racing, and Virginia Concessions are
parties to that certain Amended and Restated Food and Beverage Concessions
Agreement, dated March 3, 1997 (the "Concessions Agreement"), in which Colonial
Downs granted Virginia Concessions a license, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Concessions Agreement, to manage and operate food and beverage
concessions at the Racetrack and certain of the SWFs;

         WHEREAS, it is the mutual desire of both parties that Colonial Downs
assume all responsibility and control over the day-to-day management and
operation of the food and beverage concessions at the Racetrack and the SWFs in
order to enhance the efficiency of such concessions; and

         WHEREAS, Colonial Downs, Stansley Racing, and Virginia Concessions wish
to modify the parties' duties and obligations under the Concessions Agreement,
pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and the mutual
covenants and agreements contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby covenant and agree as follows:


<PAGE>


                                    AGREEMENT

                                    SECTION 1
                           ENGAGEMENT OF MANAGER; TERM

         1.1 Engagement. Virginia Concessions hereby engages Colonial Downs, and
Colonial Downs does hereby accept such engagement from Virginia Concessions, to
operate and manage the food and beverage concessions at the Racetrack and the
SWFs during the term of this Agreement in compliance with and subject to the
provisions of this Agreement.

         1.2 Term. This Agreement shall be effective as if the Effective Date
upon execution by the parties hereto, and shall continue thereafter in effect,
unless terminated earlier pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, (i) for
ten (10) years from the opening date of the Racetrack and (ii) for ten (10)
years from the opening date of each SWF that Virginia Concessions exercises an
option to manage and operate the food and beverage concessions pursuant to the
provisions of the Concessions Agreement.

         1.3 Management Fee. As consideration of the management services
provided by Colonial Downs for the food and beverage concessions at the
Racetrack and the SWFs pursuant to this Agreement and as a condition to Colonial
Downs' assumption of certain liabilities provided in Section 2.2 hereof,
Virginia Concessions shall pay to Colonial Downs on a monthly basis a management
fee in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the net income of
Virginia Concessions, after payment of all operating expenses, arising from, or
related to, the Concessions Agreement; provided, however, such net income shall
exclude the buyout fee provided for in Section 1.4 hereof. Virginia Concessions
shall pay the management fee to Colonial Downs on or before the tenth (10th) day
of each month.

         1.4 Buyout Option. Notwithstanding Section 2.2 of the Concessions
Agreement, for a ninety (90) day period beginning August 1, 1998, Colonial Downs
shall have the option to terminate this Agreement and the Concessions Agreement
by delivering written notice to Virginia Concessions indicating the exercise of
such option and paying to Virginia Concessions a buyout fee equal to six (6)
times the net operating cash flow from food and beverage sales at the Racetrack
and the SWFs for the most recent twelve (12) month period, or the annualized net
operating cash flow if the Racetrack or any of the SWFs have been operating for
less than twelve (12) months, calculated in accordance with generally accepted
accounting practices, consistently applied or such lower fee as the parties
mutually agree. In calculating the foregoing fee, if the Racetrack and/or any of
the SWFs have been operating less than six (6) months, then the Racetrack's
and/or such SWF's annualized net operating cash flow shall be reasonably
discounted to reflect anomalies in increased revenues generally experienced by
Colonial Downs with respect to newly opened SWFs. In the event Colonial Downs
engages the services of a third party to provide food and beverage services at
the Racetrack, the net operating cash flow of such third party attributable to
food and beverage sales at the Racetrack shall be included in the calculation of
the buyout fee provided for hereunder.

                                    SECTION 2
                       RESPONSIBILITIES OF COLONIAL DOWNS

         2.1 General Duties. Colonial Downs shall continue to have all of its
current obligations under the Concessions Agreement. For example, Colonial Downs

(collectively referred to as the "Premises"), as may be reasonably required to
satisfy its responsibilities and duties under this Agreement.

         2.2 Assumption of Obligations Under Concessions Agreement. Except as
specifically provided in this Agreement, Colonial Downs agrees to assume all of
the costs and obligations of Virginia Concessions under the Concessions
Agreement, including, without limitation, those costs and expenses set forth in
Sections 5.6 and 5.8 of the Concessions Agreement; provided, however, Virginia
Concessions shall pay all operating expenses from revenues generated by food and
beverage sales at the Racetrack and SWFs. In the event operating expenses exceed
such revenues, Colonial Downs shall be responsible for such operating deficits.

to set all prices to be charged for food and beverages and all menu items to be
served at the Racetrack and the SWFs.

         2.4 Hours of Operation. Colonial Downs shall have the sole authority to
set the hours of operation for the Premises in accord with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia.

         2.5 Insurance. With respect to the obligation of Virginia Concessions
to purchase and maintain certain types and amounts of insurance set forth in
Sections 5.8, 8.1, and 8.2 of the Concessions Agreement, Colonial Downs agrees
to waive the requirements for such insurance to the extent it is duplicative of
insurance maintained by Colonial Downs and determined to be unnecessary in
Colonial Downs' sole discretion.

         2.6 Accounting. Colonial Downs shall assume all responsibility for the
financial reporting and accounting of Virginia Concessions' operations under the
Concessions Agreement as modified hereby, including, but not limited to, all
payroll functions, the payment of taxes, and the calculation of revenues and
expenses.

         2.7 Duty to Indemnify Virginia Concessions. Colonial Downs shall
indemnify and save harmless Virginia Concessions and its directors, officers,
employees, and agents (each an "Indemnified Party") from all demands, claims,
causes of action, and judgments, and all expenses in connection therewith,
resulting from any act or neglect of Colonial Downs, or its employees, agents,
and contractors on or about the Racetrack and the SWFs, absent any Indemnified
Party's negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnity shall continue
notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement with respect to any act or
occurrence preceding such termination.

         3.1 Permits and Licenses. Virginia Concessions shall be responsible for

         3.2 Employees. Virginia Concessions shall employ and maintain a
competent, experienced, and thoroughly trained staff to meet all the reasonable
demands of Colonial Downs and the patrons of the Racetrack and the SWFs in
accordance with good business standards (the "Staff"). Colonial Downs shall be
responsible for the day-to-day supervision and management of the Staff. Virginia
Concessions shall have final responsibility and authority over the conduct,
demeanor, and appearance of its employees and agents, and upon objection from
Colonial Downs concerning the conduct, demeanor, or appearance of any such
person, shall immediately take all reasonable steps necessary to correct and/or
remove the cause of objection.

         3.3 Responsibility for Negligence. Virginia Concessions shall be
responsible for any costs or expenses related to the repair or replacement of
any equipment required due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Virginia
Concessions or its employees or agents.

         3.4 Duty to Indemnify Colonial Downs. Virginia Concessions shall
indemnify and save harmless Colonial Downs and its directors, officers,
employees, and agents from all demands, claims, causes of action, and judgments,
and all expenses in connection therewith, resulting from any negligence or
willful misconduct of Virginia Concessions, or its employees, agents, and
contractors on or about the Racetrack and the SWFs. This indemnity shall
continue notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement with respect to any
act or occurrence preceding such termination.

                                    SECTION 4

         any amounts to Colonial Downs within five (5) days following notice
         from Colonial Downs that such amounts are due; provided, however, that
         if Virginia Concessions fails to pay amounts to Colonial Downs within
         five (5) days after date due more than twice during any twelve (12)
         month period, Colonial Downs may terminate this Agreement without
         further opportunity of Virginia Concessions to cure or correct such
         failure;


<PAGE>

         hereunder for a period of two (2) business days or more;

                  (d) by either party, if the other party (i) files or has filed

         or perform any of the terms, conditions, or covenants under this
         Agreement to be complied with or performed by such party for more than
         thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure shall have been
         given to such party, or within such further period as the
         non-defaulting party reasonably approves as is required to fully comply
         with or perform such term, condition, or covenant.

         4.2 Notice of Termination. Written notice of any termination of this
Agreement by either party shall be given to the other party in the manner set

         5.3 Relationship Between the Parties. Nothing contained in this

specifically set forth herein or otherwise agreed in writing, neither shall have

         5.6 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of each party hereto, and its respective successors and
assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party without the prior
written consent of the other party hereto, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that, subject to the approval of the
assignee by the Commission, if required, Colonial Downs may assign its rights
and obligations to any affiliated entity controlling, controlled by, or under
common control with Colonial Downs which is formed for the purposes of providing
the concessions services contemplated herein with notice to, but not the consent
of, Virginia Concessions. Furthermore, Colonial Downs may engage the services of
a third party to provide food and beverage services at the Racetrack on such
terms and conditions as it may negotiate without the consent of Virginia
Concessions, provided that the sales of such third party are included in the
calculation provided for in Section 1.4 hereof.

         5.7 Governing Law. The validity, enforceability, and interpretation of
this Agreement shall be determined and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth
of Virginia, without regard to conflicts of laws provisions or principles
thereof.

         5.8 Stansley Racing as Party. The parties acknowledge that Stansley
Racing has been made a party to this Agreement solely because (i) it holds the
license from the Commission to operate the Racetrack, and (ii) it holds the
operator's license for the SWFs located in Chesapeake, Richmond, Hampton, and
Brunswick, Virginia and is expected to apply for SWF licenses for future SWF
locations.

         5.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Concessions
Agreement as modified hereby, constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior oral and written discussions and understandings. Acceptance of, or
acquiescence in, a course of performance rendered under this Agreement shall not
be relevant or admissible to determine the meaning of this Agreement, even
though the accepting or acquiescing party has knowledge of the nature of the
performance and an opportunity to make objection. No representations,
understandings or agreements have been made or relied upon in making of this
Agreement other than those specifically set forth herein.

         5.10 Waivers. All rights and remedies available at law, in equity, or
under the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument executed
in connection herewith shall be cumulative, and waivers thereof (i) shall not be
implied from the prior acts or omissions, or based solely upon the oral
representations, of a party hereto, and (ii) shall not be effective or binding
unless, and then only to the extent that, a party hereto signs an express
written waiver of rights or remedies and causes such written waiver to be
delivered to the party for whose benefit such written waiver is made.

         5.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

         3. CONSTRUCTION LOAN INTEREST RATES, PAYMENTS AND FEES

         3.1      Interest Rate Options.

         The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid
principal amount of the Construction Loan as selected by it from the Base-Rate
Option or Euro-Rate Option set forth below, it being understood that, subject to
the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select different Interest
Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the
Construction Loan comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or
renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of
the Construction Loan comprising any Borrowing Tranche, provided that, there
shall not be at any one time outstanding more than six (6) Borrowing Tranches in
the aggregate, with no more than five (5) of such Borrowing Tranches being
subject to a Euro-Rate Option. The Bank's determination of a rate of interest
and any change therein shall, in the absence of a manifest error, be conclusive
and binding upon all parties hereto. If at any time the designated rate
applicable to any portion of the Construction Loan made by the Bank exceeds the
Bank's highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on the Construction Loan shall
be limited to the Bank's highest lawful rate. The Borrower shall have the right
to select from the following Interest Rate Options:

                  (a) Base-Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed
on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable), equal to the sum of
one and one-half percent (1.5%) above the Prime Rate (the "Base Rate"). If and
when the Prime Rate changes, the Base Rate will change automatically without
notice to the Borrower, effective on the date of any such change.

                  (b) Euro-Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Euro-Rate plus three
percent (3%).

         3.2      Construction Loan Requests/Interest Periods.

         Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may, on any Borrowing
Date prior to the Expiration Date, request the Bank to make advances of the
Construction Loan, or renew or convert any Interest Rate Option applicable to
existing advances of the Construction Loan, by the delivery to the Bank, not
later than 11:00 a.m. Pittsburgh time (i) two (2) Business Days prior to the
proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the advances of a portion of the
Construction Loan to which the Euro-Rate Option shall apply or the conversion to
or the renewal of the Euro-Rate Option for any advance of the Construction Loan;
and (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to either the proposed Borrowing Date with
respect to the advance of a portion of the Construction Loan to which the
Base-Rate Option shall apply or the last day of the preceding Interest Period
with respect to the conversion to the Base-Rate Option for any advance of the
Construction Loan, of a duly completed request therefor in the form of Exhibit F
attached hereto, or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by
letter, facsimile or telex in such form (each, an "Interest Rate Request"), it
being understood that the Bank may rely on the authority of any authorized
officer making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of
such written confirmation. Each Interest Rate Request shall be irrevocable and
shall specify (i) the proposed Borrowing Date; (ii) the aggregate amount of the
proposed advances of the Construction Loan comprising the Borrowing Tranche,
which shall not be less than $500,000 for advances of the Construction Loan to
which the Euro-Rate Option applies and not less than



<PAGE>


$100,000 for advances of the Construction Loan to which the Base Rate Option
applies; (iii) whether the Euro-Rate Option or Base-Rate Option shall apply to
the proposed advances of the Construction Loan comprising the Borrowing Tranche;
(iv) in the case of advances of the Construction Loan to which the Euro-Rate
Option applies, an appropriate Interest Period for the proposed advance of the
Construction Loan comprising the Borrowing Tranche, and (v) at the time of the
commencement of each Interest Period during the Amortization Period, the
aggregate amount of all Borrowing Tranches subject to the Euro-Rate Option shall
not be greater than the amount by which the outstanding principal balance of the
Note exceeds the Required Amortization Portion, provided that:

                  (a) any Interest Period which would otherwise end on a date
which is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day unless such Business Day falls in the next calendar month, in which case
such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day;

                  (b) any Interest Period which begins on the last day of a
calendar month for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the
subsequent calendar month during which such Interest Period is to end shall end
on the last Business Day of such subsequent month;

                  (c) the Borrower shall not select, convert to or renew the
Euro-Rate Option for an Interest Period that would end after the Expiration
Date; and

                  (d) in the case of the renewal of a Euro-Rate Option at the
end of an Interest Period, the first day of the Interest Period shall be the
last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of
interest for such day.

         3.3  Default Interest and Late Payment Charge.

         To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Remedies Event, the Borrower shall pay interest on the
entire principal amount then outstanding and all other sums due under the
Construction Loan, regardless of the Interest Rate Option otherwise applicable
thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. The Default Rate shall
accrue before and after any judgment has been entered. In addition, Borrower
shall pay upon demand by the Bank a late payment charge equal to five percent
(5%) of the amount of any payment due under the Construction Loan, prior to
maturity or acceleration, which is not received by the Bank within ten (10) days
after the date such payment is due. The Borrower acknowledges that the increased
interest rate and the late payment charge provided for herein reflect, among
other things, the fact that the Construction Loan has become a substantially
greater risk given its default status and that the Bank is entitled to
additional compensation for such risk.

         3.4  Euro-Rate Unascertainable.

                  (a) If, on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be
determined, the Bank shall have determined (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that:


<PAGE>


                           (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining such Euro-Rate, or

                           (ii) an event or condition has occurred which
materially and adversely affects the applicable U.S. eurodollar markets, or

                  (b) If, at any time, the Bank shall have determined (which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that:

                           (i) the making, maintenance or funding of any portion
of the Construction Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies has been made
impracticable or unlawful if the Bank complies in good faith with any Law or any
interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request
or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law),
or

                           (ii) such Euro-Rate will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to the Bank of the establishment or maintenance of any portion
of the Construction Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, or

                           (iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits
of the relevant amount in U.S. dollars for the relevant Interest Period for any
portion of the Construction Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies are not
available to the Bank in the applicable U.S. eurodollar markets, then, in the
case of any event specified in subsection (a) or (b) above, the Bank shall
promptly so notify the Borrower thereof. Upon such date as shall be specified in
any such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given)
the obligation of the Bank to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew
a Euro-Rate Option or, in the case of an existing Euro-Rate Option which shall
be unlawful for the Bank to maintain, to continue such Euro-Rate Option, shall
be suspended until the Bank shall have later notified the Borrower of the Bank's
determination (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error)
that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer
exist. If at any time the Borrower receives notice from the Bank as provided for
in this Section 3.4 whether or not any Euro-Rate Option has gone into effect,
such notification shall, subject to the Borrower's indemnification obligations
under Section 3.12(b), be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or
renewal of the Base-Rate Option.

         3.5  Selection of Interest Rate Options.

         If the Borrower fails to select an Interest Period in accordance with
the provisions of Section 3.2 in the case of a portion of the Construction Loan
to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
converted such portion of the Construction Loan to the Base-Rate Option. If a
Remedies Event shall occur and be continuing, the Bank may in its discretion
limit the Borrower to the Default Rate.


<PAGE>

         3.6  Payments.

         All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal,
interest, the Extension Fee, the Closing Fee or other amounts due from the
Borrower to the Bank hereunder shall be payable prior to 12:00 noon, Eastern
Time, on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without
setoff, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor
shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Bank at its
Principal Office in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Bank's
statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and
interest on the Construction Loan and other amounts owing under this Agreement
and shall be deemed an "account stated."

         3.7      [Intentionally Omitted]

         3.8      Interest Payment Dates.

         Interest on the Construction Loan shall be due and payable in arrears
on the first (1st) day of the first full calendar month after the date of the
First Disbursement and on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter
throughout the term of the Construction Loan and on the Expiration Date or upon
acceleration of the Note.

         3.9      Optional Prepayments.

                  (a) The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time
to time to prepay the Construction Loan in whole or part on the dates set forth
below without premium or penalty (except as provided below or in Section 3.12(b)
hereof):

                           (i) on any Business Day with respect to any portion
of the Construction Loan to which the Base-Rate Option applies;

                           (ii) on the last day of the applicable Interest
Period with respect to any portion of the Construction Loan to which a Euro-Rate
Option applies; or

                           (iii) with the Bank's prior approval, on any Business
Day of an Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Construction Loan
to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, provided such prepayment is accompanied by
an amount sufficient to compensate the Bank for all Consequential Loss and other
costs and losses reimbursable under Section 3.12(b).

         Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Construction
Loan, it shall provide a prepayment notice to the Bank at least five (5)
Business Days prior to the date of prepayment setting forth the date, which
shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made, and the
total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be less than
$100,000. The principal amount of the portion of the Construction Loan for which
a prepayment notice is given shall be due and payable on the date specified in
such prepayment notice.


<PAGE>


         3.10     Mandatory Principal Payments.

         Beginning on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter during the
Amortization Period and on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter,
throughout the remaining term of the Construction Loan the Borrower shall make
quarterly payments (the "Mandatory Principal Payments") of the outstanding
principal balance of the Construction Loan of $500,000 per quarter.

         3.11     Application Among Interest Rate Options.

         All payments permitted or required pursuant to Sections 3.9 or 3.10
shall be applied among the Interest Rate Options first to the principal amount
of the Construction Loan subject to a Base-Rate Option, then to the principal
amount of the Construction Loan subject to a Euro-Rate Option as designated by
the Bank. In accordance with Section 3.12(b), the Borrower shall indemnify the
Bank for any loss or expense including loss of margin incurred with respect to
any such prepayments applied against any portion of the Construction Loan
subject to a Euro-Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the
applicable Interest Period, provided that, to the extent that the outstanding
principal balance which is subject to the Base-Rate Option is less than the
amount of the applicable payment, then, at the election of Borrower, so long as
no Remedies Event shall then exist, such payment and any interest earned
thereon, if applicable, shall be applied against such Borrowing Tranches subject
to the Euro-Rate Option as Borrower may choose, to the extent of such
insufficiency, subject to Borrower's obligation to indemnify the Bank pursuant
to Section 3.12(b), or shall be held by the Bank in an interest-bearing escrow
account pending the termination of the next Borrowing Tranche subject to a
Euro-Rate Option.

         3.12     Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances.

                  (a) Increased Costs or Reduced Return on Borrowing Tranches
Subject to a Euro-Rate Option Resulting From Taxes, Reserves, Capital Adequacy
Requirements, Expenses, Etc. With respect to Borrowing Tranches subject to the
Euro-Rate Option, if any Law, guideline or interpretation or any change in any
Law, guideline or interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any central
bank or other Official Body:

                           (i) subjects the Bank to any tax or charge with
respect to this Agreement, the Note, the Construction Loan or payments by the
Borrower of principal, interest, or other amounts due from the Borrower
hereunder or under the Note (except for taxes on the overall net income of the
Bank, any corporate franchise tax imposed on the Bank or any withholding tax
imposed by the United States of America),

                           (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any
reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against credits or commitments
to extend credit extended by, or assets (funded or contingent) of, deposits with
or for the account of, or other acquisition of funds by, the Bank, or


<PAGE>


                           (iii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any
capital adequacy or similar requirement (A) against assets (funded or
contingent) of, or credits or commitments to extend credit extended by, the
Bank, or (B) otherwise applicable to the obligations of the Bank under this
Agreement, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to,
reduce the income receivable by, or impose any expenses (including loss of
margin) upon the Bank with respect to this Agreement, the Note or the making,
maintenance or funding of any part of the Construction Loan (or, in the case of
any capital adequacy or similar requirement, to have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on the Bank's capital, taking into consideration the Bank's
customary policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount which the Bank
in its sole discretion deems to be material, the Bank may from time to time
notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith (using any averaging
and attribution methods employed in good faith) by the Bank (which determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error) to be necessary to compensate the
Bank for such increase in cost, reduction of income or additional expense. Such
notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination.
Such amount shall be due and payable by Borrower to the Bank within ten (10)
Business Days after such notice is given; provided, however, that if the Bank
demands compensation under this Section 3.12, Borrower may at any time upon two
(2) Business Days' prior notice to the Bank (a) give notice to the Bank that it
is canceling such Borrowing Tranches subject to a Euro-Rate Option, whereupon
each such Borrowing Tranche so canceled shall terminate and the Borrower shall
be obligated to compensate the Bank as provided in this Section 3.12(a) above
and to indemnify the Bank as provided in subsection 3.12(b) below and to pay the
Bank upon demand an amount equal to all Consequential Loss, if any, resulting
therefrom, and (b) convert such Borrowing Tranches subject to the Euro-Rate
Option to the Base Rate.

                  (b) Indemnity. In addition to the compensation required by
subsection (a) of this Section 3.12, the Borrower shall indemnify the Bank
against any loss or expense (including Consequential Loss, loss of margin, any
loss incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties and any
loss or expense incurred in connection with funds acquired by the Bank to fund
or maintain a portion of the Construction Loan subject to the Euro-Rate Option)
which the Bank sustains or incurs as a consequence of any

                           (i) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any
portion of the Construction Loan to which the Euro-Rate Option applies on a day
other than the last day of an Interest Period (whether or not such payment or
prepayment is mandatory or automatic and whether or not such payment or
prepayment is then due), or

                           (ii) attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by
later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any notice relating to
the selection of the Euro-Rate Option under Section 3.2 or prepayments under
Section 3.9.

If the Bank sustains or incurs any such loss or expense it shall from time to
time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by the Bank
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error and may include
such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution
methods as the Bank shall deem reasonable) to be necessary



<PAGE>

to indemnify the Bank for such loss or expense within three (3) months of the
Bank becoming aware of such loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in
reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and
payable by the Borrower to the Bank ten (10) Business Days after such notice is
given.

         3.13     Fees.

                  (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Bank on or before the
Closing Date, as consideration for the Construction Loan, the Closing Fee.

                  (b) Upon the exercise of each Extension Option, the Borrower
shall pay the Extension Fee to the Bank.

accounts with its officers, all in such reasonable detail and at such reasonable

than the Land and Improvements which are required to be insured in the manner
provided in subsection (a) above) against loss or damage by fire and such other

Default or a Remedies Event under this Agreement, or (b) of a default by the
Borrower under any other material contract, instrument or agreement to which it
is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets may be bound or to
which it or any of its properties or assets may be subject, which default could

of the Payment Guaranty from Holdings to the Bank are due, the Borrower shall
furnish quarterly to the Bank a certificate signed by an officer of the
Borrower, that to the best of his or her knowledge, the Borrower has kept,
observed, complied with, fulfilled and performed in all material respects every
term, covenant and condition in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on
its part to be kept and performed (or, if such should not be the fact,
specifying the nature of such non-compliance); that no Conditional Default or
Remedies Event exists (or if one exists, specifying the nature thereof); that no
event has occurred or is threatened which if continued would permit the holder
of any Indebtedness of the Borrower or to which its property is subject to
accelerate the maturity thereof or enforce any Lien securing the same; that no
material litigation or administrative proceeding has been instituted by or
against the Borrower (or, if such should not be the fact, then the facts and
circumstances relating to such event or litigation in detail) and covering such
other matters relating to the Borrower, the Construction Loan or the Collateral
as the Bank may reasonably require.

         4.14     [Intentionally Omitted]

         4.15     Title to Land and Improvements.

         Except as approved by the Bank in writing, the Borrower shall retain

indefeasibly paid in cash and satisfied in full.

         4.16     Further Assurances.

         The Borrower shall, from time to time, at its expense, faithfully
preserve and protect the Bank's lien on and security interest in the Collateral

Encumbrances, and shall take such other action as the Bank may reasonably
request from time to time in order to preserve, perfect and protect the liens
granted

under the Collateral Documents, to exercise and enforce the Bank's rights and
remedies thereunder and with respect to the Collateral and to carry out the
terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

         4.17     Estoppel Certificate.

         At any time or times, within ten (10) Business Days after written
demand by the Bank therefor, the Borrower shall deliver to the Bank a
certificate duly executed and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Bank,
stating and acknowledging, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, the then unpaid
principal balance, and interest due and unpaid under the Construction Loan, the
fact that there are no defenses, off-sets or counterclaims thereto (or, if such
should not be the fact, then the facts and circumstances relating to such
defenses, off-sets or counterclaims) and such other matters as the Bank may
reasonably require.

         4.18     Construction of Improvements.

         The Borrower shall diligently and continuously prosecute construction
in accordance with the Plans which shall have been approved in the manner and by
the parties specified below; and in accordance with applicable zoning
ordinances, building and use restrictions applicable to the Land and
Improvements and all other Laws, restrictive covenants or requirements of
governmental authorities, including those of the appropriate board of fire
underwriters or its equivalent. The Improvements shall be completed, to the
extent required under Section 6.6 (d)(iii), on or before the Completion Date,
provided that, in the event that the Improvements shall not be completed on or
before the Completion Date, such failure shall not constitute a Remedies Event
hereunder as long as the Improvements are completed on or before October 30,
1997. In the event that the Improvements are not completed on or before the
Completion Date, the Bank shall thereafter have no further obligation to
disburse any proceeds of the Construction Loan unless the Improvements are
completed within sixty (60) days following the Completion Date and thereafter
all licenses necessary to operate the SWF's are reinstated and all licenses
necessary to operate the Project shall remain in full force and effect, in which
events the proceeds of the Construction Loan shall thereupon be available for
disbursement, subject to the fulfillment of all other conditions contained in
this Agreement.

Inspecting Architect and all governmental authorities and all other entities and
persons with a right to approve any aspect of the work,provided that the Plans
approved by the governmental authorities may not include certain immaterial
buildings, such as maintenance buildings.

         4.20     Changes in Construction and Development Documents.

         Except as set forth in this Section 4.20, no changes in the Plans or
the other Construction and Development Documents (including change orders) shall
be effective, unless approved in writing by the Bank, provided, however, the
Bank's approval shall not be required for any proposed changes costing less than
$$50,000 ("Minor Changes") as long as the cost of such Minor Changes, when
aggregated with the cost of all previous Minor Changes, does not exceed
$300,000. The Borrower shall obtain all approvals of any changes in the Plans or
other Construction and Development Documents (including change orders) that are
required by Law or under any other agreement with respect to the Land or
Improvements. The Borrower shall deliver to the Bank and the Inspecting
Architect documentation as required by the Bank pertaining to any change
referred to in this Section 4.20. Notwithstanding the fact that a proposed
change may constitute a Minor Change, the Bank's approval of such change
nevertheless will be required if such change (i) extends the date for completion
of the work pursuant to the Construction Contract, or (ii) changes the overall
scope and nature of the Project, or (iii) reduces the quality, size or capacity
of any particular system or component of the Project. The Bank shall have ten
(10) Business Days after receipt by the Bank and the Inspecting Architect of all
such documentation within which to evaluate any requested change, and the Bank
will not be required to consider approving any changes, unless all other
approvals which, in the Bank's reasonable judgment, are required from other
parties have been obtained. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.8 below, if
the Bank, in its judgment exercised in good faith, determines that any change
may increase the cost of completion of the Improvements in excess of the amount
of any category as shown on the Development Budget ("Category"), the Bank may
demand that the Borrower deposit additional funds sufficient to cover the
increased costs as a condition to giving its approval, such funds to be held by
the Bank and disbursed in accordance with Article 6 of this Agreement.

         4.21     Payment, Performance and Maintenance Bonds.

         The Borrower shall obtain payment, performance and maintenance bonds
with respect to the Construction Contract and such Major Subcontracts as may be
designated at the discretion of the Bank, in the amount of the Construction
Contract and any designated Major Subcontract. The bonds shall be issued or
reinsured by a surety rated A+ by A.M. Best and AA or higher by Standard &
Poor's Corporation or Moody's Investors Services. All bonds shall include dual
obligee riders naming the Bank and shall be in form and substance satisfactory
to the Bank.

         4.22     Reliance on Inspecting Architect.

         At any time that the Bank's consent or approval is required with
respect to the Plans, any of the other Construction and Development Documents,
construction of the Improvements and the cost thereof, or changes to any of the
foregoing, the Bank may, but shall not be required to, rely conclusively on the
opinion of the Inspecting Architect. The Bank will use its reasonable efforts to
cause the Inspecting Architect to complete its review of the Plans and other
Development Documents in a timely manner and in no event later than June 30,
1997.


<PAGE>

         4.23     Subcontractors.

         The Borrower shall furnish to the Bank current and accurate lists of
the names, addresses, telephone numbers and primary contacts of all
subcontractors (including, but not limited to, Major Subcontractors) employed in
connection with the construction of the Improvements and true and correct copies
of all executed subcontracts therefor. The work to be performed under any
subcontract shall include no work other than that for the Improvements. All
Major Subcontracts have been delivered to the Bank as of the date hereof and are
in form and content acceptable to the Bank. The Bank may contact the Contractor,
Major Subcontractors or any other subcontractor to verify any facts disclosed in
the subcontracts or the foregoing lists.

         4.24     Purchase of Materials and Conditional Sales Contracts.

         Other than as set forth in Schedule II, no materials, equipment,
fixtures or articles of personal property placed in or on the Land or
Improvements shall be purchased by or installed under any security agreement,
financing lease or other agreement whereby the seller reserves or purports to
reserve title, a Lien, a security interest, the right of removal or repossession
or the right to consider such items personal property after their incorporation
into the Improvements, unless previously authorized by the Bank in writing.

         4.25     Personal Property.

         The Borrower shall furnish to the Bank from time to time as reasonably
required by the Bank evidence that all fixtures and equipment necessary for the
operation of the Improvements have been or will be obtained and in place on the
Completion Date with respect to all of the Improvements. Upon completion of the
Improvements, the Borrower shall furnish the Bank with a detailed inventory
certified by an authorized officer of the Borrower, showing make, model,
valuation and location of all fixtures and equipment (except fixtures and
equipment of tenants) used in the management or maintenance of any part of the
Improvements.

         4.26     Repairs.

         The Borrower shall maintain and keep the Land and the Improvements and
all properties and assets of Borrower in good working order and condition and
make all necessary and proper repairs and replacements thereto.

         4.27     Inspection and Right to Stop Work.

                  (a) The officers or authorized employees of the Bank and the
Inspecting Architect shall have the right at any reasonable time to enter the
Land and Improvements and inspect the construction work and all materials,
plans, specifications and other matters relating to construction of the
Improvements. Officers or authorized employees of the Bank and the Inspecting
Architect shall also have the right to examine, copy and audit the books,
records, accounting data and other documents of the Contractor relating to the
construction of the Improvements and costs associated therewith.


<PAGE>


                  (b) If the Bank, in good faith, reasonably determines that any
work or materials do not conform to the Plans or otherwise depart from any of
the requirements of this Agreement, the Bank may require the work to be stopped
and may withhold disbursements until the matter is corrected. Borrower shall
promptly correct any such non-conforming work or materials. No such action by
the Bank will affect Borrower's obligations to complete the Improvements on or
before the Completion Date.

                  (c) The Bank shall be under no duty to examine, supervise or
inspect the Plans or the construction of the Improvements or to examine any
books and records. Any inspection or examination by the Bank, or the Inspecting
Architect is for the sole purpose of protecting its security interests and
preserving its rights under this Agreement. No default or breach of Borrower
will be waived by any inspection by the Bank or the Inspecting Architect, nor
shall any such inspection constitute a representation that there has been or
will be compliance with the Plans or that the construction is free from
defective materials or workmanship.

         4.28     Protection Against Lien Claims.

         The Borrower shall promptly notify the Bank in writing of any dispute,
of which the Borrower may become aware, with the Architect, Engineer, the
Contractor, any Major Subcontractor or any other subcontractor, or any supplier
of labor or materials, and any proceeding against Borrower, including, but not
limited to, proceedings to assert or enforce mechanic's, materialman's or other
involuntary Liens. Any Lien claimed or filed against any part of the Land or the
Improvements for labor done or materials or services furnished in connection
with the construction of the Improvements shall be insured over or discharged,
by bond or otherwise, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of the
filing thereof, and the Bank reserves the right to withhold further disbursement
of Construction Loan proceeds until such Lien or claim shall have been so
insured over or discharged.

         4.29     Employee Benefit Plans.

         The Borrower and all members of the ERISA Group shall comply with
ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and other applicable Laws applicable to any of
them with respect to Benefit Arrangements, Pension Plans, Multiemployer Pension
and/or Welfare Plans, except where such failure, alone or in conjunction with
any other failure, would not result in a Material Adverse Change. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower and Partner shall cause
all of the Pension Plans maintained by Borrower or any member of the ERISA Group
to be funded in accordance with the minimum funding requirements of ERISA, and
shall make, in a timely manner, all contributions due to Pension Plans, Benefit
Arrangements and Multiemployer Pension and Welfare Plans, except where such
failure, alone or in conjunction with any other failure, would not result in a
Material Adverse Change.

         4.30     Notices Regarding Multiemployer Pension and Welfare Plans.

         Promptly upon becoming aware of the occurrence thereof, Borrower or the
Partner shall notify the Bank (including the nature of the event and, when
known, any action taken or



<PAGE>


threatened by the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor or the PBGC
with respect thereto) of:

                  (a) any Prohibited Transaction which could subject the
Borrower or any Partner to a civil penalty assessed pursuant to Section 502(i)
of ERISA or a tax imposed by Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code in
connection with any Multiemployer Pension or Welfare Plan; and

                  (b) any partial or complete withdrawal by the Borrower or the
Partner from a Multiemployer Pension or Welfare Plan or assertion thereof, where
such withdrawal or asserted withdrawal is likely to result in withdrawal
liability.

         4.31     Conditions Precedent.

         As conditions precedent to the Bank's obligation to close the
Construction Loan, Borrower shall have complied with all the requirements and
shall have fulfilled all the conditions set forth in this Agreement and shall,
execute and deliver the Loan Documents and Collateral Documents to Bank on the
Closing Date, and at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date (unless
otherwise set forth herein or waived in writing by the Bank), furnish to the
Bank at Borrower's sole cost and expense, the items set forth on Exhibit E
attached hereto, all of which shall be in form and content satisfactory to the
Bank and its counsel.

         4.32     Bank Accounts.

         The Borrower shall use its best efforts to maintain at the Bank a major
presence in Borrower's operating accounts.

         4.33     Control of Borrower.

         At all times during his life, Jeffrey P. Jacobs shall hold the position
of an officer and/or director of Racing.

         4.34     Licenses and Permits.

         The Borrower shall take all actions necessary to maintain and keep in
good standing all licenses, permits and other approvals necessary for the
operation and occupancy of the Land and Improvements and for the conduct of
horse racing at the Land and Improvements. The Borrower shall keep the Bank
advised of the status of such licenses, permits and other approvals and shall
provide the Bank with copies of any notices from the Virginia Racing Commission
or other Official Body threatening the suspension or revocation of any such
license, permit or approval promptly following the receipt thereof by Borrower.

         6.1      Procedures.

                  (a) The Bank shall disburse Construction Loan proceeds not
more frequently than twice each month pursuant to Borrower's Disbursement
Request in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, provided that one of the
monthly fundings shall be limited to interest expense. Upon receipt of a
Disbursement Request, the Bank shall cause an inspection to be made of the
progress of construction with respect to any Disbursement Request for costs of
construction . If the Bank determines that construction is proceeding diligently
in accordance with the Plans and otherwise in the manner required by this
Agreement and that all conditions to such disbursement shall have been
fulfilled, including the Bank's receipt of title clearance (conveyed verbally by
the title company) confirming that the status of title is as described in
Section 6.4(g) below, the Bank shall make the disbursement within five (5) days
of satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Sections 6.4, 6.5, 6.6 and/or
6.7, as applicable.

         (b)      [Intentionally Omitted]


<PAGE>

         (c) Bank may also require verification of the information contained in
the Disbursement Request by the Contractor, Major Subcontractors and other
applicable subcontractors, the Architect, the Engineer, as applicable, and the
Inspecting Architect, and will require separate lien waivers and releases from
all contractor and subcontractors covering all prior disbursements. Without
limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Disbursement Request, Borrower
shall submit copies of invoices for costs included in such Disbursement Request.
Invoices submitted with all Disbursement Requests except the first Disbursement
Request shall not be dated prior to the date that is one hundred twenty (120)
days preceding the date of the Disbursement Request except as may be permitted
by the Bank in its reasonable discretion. Subject to subsection (d) of this
section, all disbursements will be made, at the Bank's option, into the Project
Account of Borrower maintained with Bank, and Borrower agrees to pay Bank's
customary charges for wire transfers and account maintenance, or, upon five (5)
days prior written notice to the Borrower, advanced directly (or jointly with
Borrower, as the Bank may elect) to such party or parties as have actually
supplied labor, material or services in connection with the construction of the
Improvements or advanced to a title company or other escrow agent acceptable to
the Bank for disbursement to such third parties. All Construction Loan proceeds
will be considered to have been advanced to and received by Borrower upon, and
interest on the Construction Loan proceeds will be payable by Borrower from and
after, the deposit or advance of the Construction Loan proceeds as aforesaid or
the charge against the Construction Loan proceeds as provided in subsection (d)
below.

                  (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (c) of this
section, the Bank may elect, without obtaining authorization by Borrower, to use
the Construction Loan proceeds to pay, as and when due, interest on the
Construction Loan and, upon five (5) days prior written notice to Borrower
(except in the case of the First Disbursement), the Construction Loan fees owing
to the Bank, reasonable fees and disbursements of the Inspecting Architect and
the Bank's attorneys which are payable by Borrower as provided in the Loan
Documents and such other sums as may be owing from time to time by Borrower to
the Bank with respect to the Construction Loan or the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. Such payments may be made by debiting or charging the
Construction Loan in the amount of such payments.

                  (e) All advances of the Construction Loan proceeds shall be
evidenced by the Note and secured by the Collateral Documents.

         6.2      Disbursement Amounts.

                  (a) Aggregate advances of the Construction Loan shall be
limited to the maximum amount of the Construction Loan. The aggregate amount of
the Construction Loan for any Category shall be limited to the amount shown in
the Development Budget for such Category, taking into account any reallocation
authorized by the Bank, pursuant to Section 6.8. Prior to disbursement of any
Construction Loan proceeds, Borrower shall have expended, for costs approved by
the Bank, sums at least equal to the Initial Equity Contribution.

                  (b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Bank will make
disbursements of the Construction Loan or other amounts held, if applicable, in
the Project Account to defray



<PAGE>


actual and reasonable costs approved by the Bank and shown on the Development
Budget of (i) labor performed on the Improvements and equipment and materials
incorporated into the Improvements, (ii) materials suitably stored on the Land,
as approved by the Bank, and (iii) developing and financing the Improvements
including any other costs within the Categories shown on the Development Budget.
The undisbursed balance of the Construction Loan and the sums delivered and held
by the Bank pursuant to Section 6.8 shall at no time be less than the sum of (1)
the amount reasonably estimated by the Bank to complete the construction,
development and financing of the Improvements, and (2) the aggregate amount of
the Retainage to date.

                  (c) Borrower shall provide such written information as
requested by the Bank evidencing Borrower's expenditure of any portion of the
Initial Equity Contribution.

                  (d) The amount allocated to the Contingency Category shall not
be subject to disbursement without the prior approval of the Bank.

         6.3      Cost Information.

         If Borrower becomes aware of any change in the approved costs set forth
in the Development Budget that would increase, change or cause a reallocation of
the costs as shown on the Development Budget, Borrower shall immediately notify
the Bank in writing and promptly submit a proposed revised Development Budget to
the Bank. The Bank shall have no obligation to make further disbursements unless
and until the revised Development Budget is approved by the Bank. The approval
of the revised Development Budget by the Bank shall not be unreasonably delayed
following receipt of all required information. The Bank shall have the right to
withhold approval of the proposed revised Development Budget, pending the
deposit of funds pursuant to Section 6.8.

         6.4      First Disbursement.

         The Bank shall not be obligated to make the First Disbursement until
Borrower, at its expense, shall have fulfilled all conditions of this Agreement
applicable thereto, including, without limitation, the delivery and approval of
the items referred to on Exhibit E attached hereto on or before the Closing
Date, and satisfaction of the following conditions:

                  (a) No portion of the Improvements shall have been damaged by
fire or other casualty and no condemnation or taking of the Land or the
Improvements or any material portion thereof shall be pending or threatened;

of the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor as determined by the Bank in its
reasonable discretion), provided that, in the event that such default cannot be
remedied with reasonable due diligence during such thirty (30) day period, such

         Following the occurrence of a Remedies Event, the Bank may exercise any
or all of the following rights and remedies:

                  (a) The Bank shall be under no further obligations to make
disbursements of the Construction Loan hereunder. The Bank may declare the
unpaid principal amount of the Note then outstanding and all interest accrued
thereon and all other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Bank hereunder and
thereunder to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand,
protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

                  (b) The Bank and any branch, subsidiary or affiliate of the
Bank anywhere in the world shall have the right, in addition to all other rights
and remedies available to it, without notice to the Borrower or the Guarantors,
to set-off against and apply to the then unpaid balance of the Construction Loan
and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any other
Construction Loan Document any debt owing to, and any other funds held in any
manner for the account of, the Borrower, or by such branch subsidiary or
affiliate, including without limitation, all funds in all deposit accounts
(whether time or demand, general or special, provisionally credited or finally
credited, or otherwise) now or hereafter maintained by the Borrower for its own
account with the Bank or such branch, subsidiary or affiliate. Such right shall
exist whether or not the Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or
any other Construction Loan Document, whether or not such debt owing to or funds
held for the account of the Borrower is or are matured or unmatured and
regardless of the existence or adequacy of any Collateral, the Guaranties or
other security given to the Bank.

                  (c) Whether or not the Bank shall have accelerated the
maturity of the Construction Loan pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions of
this Section 10.2, the Bank may proceed to protect and enforce the Bank's rights
by suit in equity, action at law and/or other appropriate proceeding, for the
specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents and, as to any amount that shall have become due, by
declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or to enforce
any other legal or equitable right of the Bank.

                  (d) From and after the date on which the Bank has taken any
action pursuant to this Section 10.2 and until all Bank Debt has been paid in
full, any and all proceeds received by



<PAGE>


the Bank from any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, or any part
thereof, or the exercise of any other remedy by the Bank, shall be applied as
follows:

                           (i) first, to reimburse the Bank for out-of-pocket
costs, expenses and disbursements, including without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and legal expenses actually incurred by the Bank in connection
with realizing on any Collateral or collection of any obligations of the
Borrower or the Guarantor under any of the Loan Documents, including advances
made subsequent to a Remedies Event by the Bank or for the reasonable
maintenance, preservation, protection or enforcement of, or realization upon,
any Collateral, including without limitation, advances for Impositions,
insurance, repairs and the like and reasonable expenses incurred to sell or
otherwise realize on, or prepare for sale or other realization on, any of the
Collateral;

                           (ii) second, to the repayment of all Bank Debt,
whether of principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise; and

                           (iii) the balance, if any, as required by Law.

                  (e) The Bank shall have all of the rights and remedies
contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including the right to
appoint a receiver and all other rights described in the Deed of Trust). In
addition, the Bank shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Law, all of which rights
and remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive, to the extent permitted by
Law.

                  (f) The Bank shall have the further right to enter the Land
and Improvements and take any and all actions necessary, in its judgment, to
secure, winterize, protect and preserve the Improvements and any materials or
supplies located on the Land, to complete in part or in full the construction of
the Improvements, including, but not limited to, making changes in the Plans,
and entering into, and, subject to the terms thereof, modifying or terminating
the Construction and Development Documents and other contractual arrangements.
The Bank may elect to continue construction in accordance with the Plans. If the
Bank elects to continue with the construction of the Improvements, the Bank will
not assume any liability to Borrower or any other person for completing the
Improvements or for the manner or quality of construction of the Improvements
and Borrower expressly waives any such liability, except to the extent that such
liability shall be caused directly by the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Bank. Borrower irrevocably appoints the Bank as its attorney-in-fact,
with full power of substitution, to complete the Improvements in Borrower's name
or the Bank may elect to complete construction in the name of the Bank. In any
event, all sums actually expended by the Bank in completing construction or
otherwise exercising its rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents will
be secured by the Deed of Trust and all other Collateral Documents and shall
bear interest at the Default Rate.

         10.3     Notice of Sale.

         Any notice required to be given by the Bank of a sale, lease, or other
disposition of any Collateral or any other intended action by the Bank, if given
at least fifteen (15) Business Days



<PAGE>

prior to such proposed action, shall constitute commercially reasonable and fair
notice thereof to the Borrower.

         11. MISCELLANEOUS

         11.1     Modifications, Amendments or Waivers.

         The Bank and the Borrower may from time to time enter into written
agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or any other
Construction Loan Document (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) or
the rights of the Bank or the Borrower hereunder or thereunder, or may grant
written waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the
obligations of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder.

         11.2     No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies; Writing Required.

         No course of dealing and no delay or failure of the Bank in exercising
any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement or any other the
Construction Loan Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or
any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power,
remedy or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right,
power, remedy or privilege. To the extent permitted by Law, the rights and
remedies of the Bank under this Agreement and any other Construction Loan
Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it
would otherwise have. Any waiver, consent or approval of any kind or character
on the part of the Bank of any breach or default under this Agreement or any
such waiver of any provision or condition of this Agreement must be in writing
and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such
writing.

         11.3 Reimbursement and Indemnification of the Bank by the Borrower;
Impositions.

         The Borrower agrees unconditionally upon demand to pay to or reimburse
the Bank and to hold the Bank harmless against (i) liability for the payment of
all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements, including but
not limited to reasonable fees and expenses of counsel actually incurred by the
Bank subsequent to the Closing Date (a) relating to any amendments, waivers or
consents pursuant to the provisions hereof, and (b) in connection with any
workout or restructuring, or in connection with the protection, preservation,
exercise or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Construction Loan
Document or collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the proof and
allowability of any claim arising under this Agreement or any other Construction
Loan Document, whether in insolvency proceedings or otherwise, and (ii) all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be
actually imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Bank in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Construction Loan
Document or any action taken or omitted by the Bank hereunder or thereunder,
provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or



<PAGE>


disbursements, if the same results from the Bank's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The Borrower agrees unconditionally to pay all stamp, document,
transfer, recording or filing taxes or fees and similar Impositions (except for
taxes on the overall net income of any Bank and except for franchise taxes) now
or hereafter determined by any Official Body to be actually due and payable in
connection with this Agreement or any other Construction Loan Document, and the
Borrower agrees unconditionally to save the Bank harmless from and against any
and all present or future claims, liabilities or losses with respect to or
resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such taxes, fees or
other similar Impositions, except as otherwise provided herein.

         11.4     Holidays.

         Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken hereunder shall be
stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment or action
shall be made or taken on the next following Business Day (except as provided in
Section 3.2 with respect to Interest Periods), and such extension of time may be
included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment
or action.

         11.5     Funding by Branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate.

                  (a) Notional Funding. The Bank shall have the right from time
to time, without notice to the Borrower, to deem any franchise, subsidiary or
affiliate entity (which for the purposes of this Section 11.5 shall mean any
corporation or association which is directly or indirectly controlled by or is
under direct or indirect common control with any corporation or association
which directly or indirectly controls the Bank) of the Bank to have made,
maintained or funded any portion of the Construction Loan to which the Euro-Rate
Option applies at any time. Notional funding offices may be selected by the Bank
without regard to the Bank's actual methods of making, maintaining or funding
the Construction Loan or any sources of funding actually used by or available to
the Bank.

                  (b) Actual Funding. The Bank shall have the right from time to
time to make or maintain any portion of the Construction Loan by arranging for a
branch, subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank to make or maintain such portion of
the Construction Loan subject to the last sentence of this Section 11.5(b). If
the Bank causes a branch, subsidiary or affiliate to make or maintain any
portion of the Construction Loan hereunder, all terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall, except where the context clearly requires otherwise, be
applicable to such portion of the Construction Loan to the same extent as if
such portion of the Construction Loan were made or maintained by the Bank.

         11.6     Notices.

         All notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications
(collectively, "notices") given to or made upon any party hereto under the
provisions of this Agreement shall be by telephone (except for default notices
and notices to the Bank of funding requirements) or in writing (including telex
or facsimile communication) unless otherwise expressly required hereunder and

telex or facsimile, when received, (ii) in the case of hand delivered notice,
when hand delivered, (iii) in the case of telephone, when telephoned to the
individual specified in Schedule I, provided, however, that in order to be

next Business Day by letter, facsimile or telex, (iv) if given by mail, four (4)
days after such communication is deposited in the mails with first class postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, and (v) if given by any other means
(including by air courier), when delivered; provided, however, that notices to
the Bank with respect to conversion or renewal of Interest Rate Options and
prepayment shall not be effective until received.

         11.7     Severability.

         The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any
provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or
in part in any jurisdiction such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any
manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other
jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

         11.8     Governing Law.

         This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all purposes shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

         11.9     Prior Understanding.

         This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, supersedes all
prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, between the
parties hereto and thereto relating to the transactions provided for herein and
therein, including any prior confidentiality agreements and commitments.

         11.10    Duration; Survival.

         All representations and warranties of the Borrower contained herein or
made in connection herewith shall survive the making of the Construction Loan
and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any
investigation by the Bank, the making of the Construction Loan, or payment in
full of the Bank Debt in each case. All covenants and agreements of the Borrower
contained herein relating to the payment of principal, interest, premiums,
additional compensation or expenses and indemnification, including those set
forth in the Note and Sections 3.12 and 11.3 hereof, shall survive payment in
full of the Bank Debt.

         11.11    Successors and Assigns.


<PAGE>


         This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
the Bank and the Borrower and their respective successors and assigns, except
that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations
hereunder or any interest herein. The Bank may, at its own cost, make
assignments of or sell participating in all or any part of the Construction Loan
to one or more banks or other entities. In the case of an assignment, the Bank
shall provide written notice thereof to the Borrower. Upon receipt and
acceptance by the Bank of the written agreement of such assignee to be bound by
the terms hereof, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the
same rights, benefits and obligations as it would have if it had been a
signatory hereunder, and upon surrender of the Note, the Borrower shall execute
and deliver a replacement Note to the assignee in an amount equal to the amount
of the portion of the Construction Loan assumed by it and a new Note to the Bank
in an amount equal to the Construction Loan retained by it hereunder. In the
case of a participation, the participant's rights against the Bank in respect of
such participation shall be those set forth in the agreement executed by the
Bank in favor of the participant relating thereto and shall not include any
voting rights, except for voting rights limited to any increase in the principal
amount of the Construction Loan, any reduction in the applicable interest rate
or fees, and any postponement of any scheduled payment of principal, interest or
fees. All of the Bank's obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents shall remain unchanged and all amounts payable by the Borrower
hereunder or thereunder shall be determined as if the Bank had not sold such
participation.

         11.12    Counterparts.

         This Agreement may be executed by different parties hereto on any
number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered,
shall be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one
and the same instrument.

         11.13    Exceptions.

         The representations and warranties and covenants contained herein shall
be independent of each other and no exception to any representation, warranty or
covenant shall be deemed to be an exception to any other representation,
warranty or covenant contained herein unless expressly provided, nor shall any
such exceptions be deemed to permit any action or omission that would be in
contravention of applicable Law.

         11.14    Consent to Jurisdiction.

         THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY AND THE UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA, AND WAIVES
PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON IT AND AGREES THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE
OF PROCESS BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL DIRECTED TO THE BORROWER AT
THE ADDRESSES PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 11.6 HEREOF AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE
DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED UPON ACTUAL


<PAGE>


RECEIPT THEREOF. THE BORROWER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF
ANY ACTION INSTITUTED AGAINST IT AS PROVIDED HEREIN AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY
DEFENSE BASED ON LACK OF JURISDICTION OR VENUE.

         11.15    No Third Parties Benefitted.

         This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and
benefit of the Borrower and the Bank. No trust fund is created by this Agreement
and no other persons or entities will have any right of action under this
Agreement or any right against the Bank to obtain any proceeds of the
Construction Loan.

         11.16    Authority to File Notices.

         The Borrower irrevocably appoints the Bank as its attorney-in-fact,
with full power of substitution, to file for record, at the Borrower's cost and
expense and in the Borrower's name, any notices that the Bank considers
reasonably necessary or desirable to protect the Collateral.

         11.17    Signs; Publicity.

         The Borrower may, at Borrower's expense, erect a sign or signs as
reasonably approved by the Bank upon the Land and Improvements at any reasonable
location indicating the source of the development and construction financing.
The announcement of, and the issuance of any publicity with respect to, the
Construction Loan and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be subject to
the prior written approval of the Bank, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.

         11.18    Interpretation.

         Whenever the context requires, all words used in the singular will be
construed to have been used in the plural, and vice versa, and each gender will
include any other gender. The captions of the articles, sections, schedules and
exhibits of this Agreement are for convenience only and do not define or limit
any terms or provisions. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the
other Loan Documents and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this
Agreement shall control.

         11.19    Status of Parties.

         It is understood and agreed that the relationship of the parties hereto
is that of borrower and lender and that nothing contained herein or in any of
the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute a partnership, joint
venture or co-tenancy among Borrower or the Bank.


<PAGE>

         11.20    Brokerage Fee.

         The Borrower represents to the Bank that no broker or other person is
entitled to a brokerage fee or commission as a result of the Borrower's actions
or undertakings in connection with the financing of the Improvements and agrees
to hold the Bank harmless from all claims for brokerage commissions which may be
made as a result of such actions or undertakings, if any.

         11.21    Waiver of Jury Trial.

         THE BORROWER AND THE BANK EACH WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, OR RELATED TO, THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED
TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND
VOLUNTARILY MADE BY BORROWER AND THE BANK AND EACH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NONE OF THE
BORROWER OR THE BANK NOR ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF EITHER OF THEM HAS OR
HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR
IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. THE BORROWER AND THE BANK EACH
FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EACH OF THEM HAS BEEN REPRESENTED (OR HAS HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED) IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE
MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, SELECTED BY ITS OWN FREE
WILL, AND THAT BORROWER AND THE BANK EACH HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS
THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL. THE BORROWER AND THE BANK EACH AGREES THAT THE
OBLIGATIONS EVIDENCED BY THIS AGREEMENT ARE EXEMPTED TRANSACTIONS UNDER THE
TRUTH-IN-LENDING ACT, 15 U.S.C. SECTION 1061, ET SEQ. THE BORROWER AND THE BANK

WAIVER PROVISION.

                                    EXHIBIT F












                                                                    Exhibit 10.3

                       REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT



         THIS REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), is entered
  into as of June 26, 1997, between COLONIAL DOWNS, L.P., a Virginia limited
  partnership (the "Borrower"), and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national
  banking association (the "Bank").


         The Borrower and the Bank, with the intent to be legally bound, agree
as follows:


         1. Loan. The Bank hereby agrees to make available to the Borrower a
$5,000,000 line of credit (the "Line of Credit"). The availability of the Line
of Credit is subject to the following terms and conditions:


                  1.1 Commitment. The Bank hereby agrees to make advances
("Loans") to the Borrower under the Line of Credit in an aggregate amount not to
exceed $5,000,000 at any one time outstanding, subject to reduction as set forth
in Section 1.15 hereof. The Line of Credit shall be available for a period of
three (3) years from the date hereof to June 30, 2000, subject to the Borrower's
extension options as set forth in Section 1.15 hereof (such date, as the same
may be extended in accordance with the provisions hereof, being hereinafter
called the "Expiration Date"). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Borrower shall have the right to borrow, repay and reborrow amounts hereunder
during the period of the Line of Credit; provided that principal amounts
outstanding and all accrued unpaid interest under the Line of Credit shall be
repaid in full on or before the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, a portion of the Line of Credit, in the amount
of $300,000 (the "Restricted Amount") shall not be available for disbursement
until such time as the Borrower shall have been released from its obligations
under the Amended and Restated Performance Guaranty Agreement dated February 27,
1997 (the "Performance Guaranty") between the Borrower and the Virginia Racing
Commission (the "Commission"), provided that the Restricted Amount shall be
available for disbursement to Borrower, subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, for the purpose of reimbursing Borrower for any amount paid
by Borrower to the Commission pursuant to the Performance Guaranty.


                  1.2 Note. The Borrower's obligation to repay the Loans shall
be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit "A"
hereto (the "Note").


                  1.3 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used
by the Borrower as direct extensions of credit from the Bank to fund working
capital needs of the Borrower and other general partnership purposes.


                  1.4 Advance Procedures. The Borrower may request Loans
hereunder upon giving written notice to the Bank by 11:00 A.M. (Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania time) (i) on the

<PAGE>

Business Day prior to the proposed advance, in the case of Loans bearing
interest at the Base Rate and (ii) two (2) Business Days (as hereinafter
defined) prior to the proposed Loan, in the case of Loans bearing interest at
the Euro-Based Rate (as hereinafter defined).

                  1.5 Interest Rate Options. All amounts outstanding under the
Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum selected by the Borrower from the
interest rate options set forth below; it being understood that the Borrower may
select different options (each such option to which the Euro-Based Rate shall
apply shall be hereinafter called a "Euro-Rate Option" and the option to which
the Base Rate shall apply shall be hereinafter called the "Base Rate Option") to
apply simultaneously to different portions of the Loans and may select up to six
(6) different interest periods to apply simultaneously to different portions of
the Loans bearing interest at the Base Rate or the Euro-Based Rate as set forth
below provided, however, that no more than five (5) Borrowing Tranches subject
to a Euro-Rate Option, shall be permitted.


                  (i)  Base Rate. A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a
                       year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable), equal to the sum
                       of one and one-half percent (1.5%) plus the rate of
                       interest announced from time to time by the Bank at its
                       principal office as its prime rate, which rate may not be
                       the lowest interest rate then being charged commercial
                       borrowers by the Bank (the "Prime Rate"). If and when the
                       Prime Rate changes, the rate of interest on the Base Rate
                       Loan will change automatically without notice to the
                       Borrower, effective on the date of any such change.


                  (ii) Euro-Based Rate. A rate per annum (computed on the basis
                       of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days
                       elapsed) (the "Euro-Based Rate") equal to the sum of (A)
                       the Euro-Rate plus (B) three percent (3.0%) per annum,
                       for the Euro-Rate Interest Period in an amount equal to
                       the advance and having a comparable maturity as
                       determined at or about 9:30 a.m. Eastern time two (2)
                       Business Days prior to the commencement of the Euro-Rate
                       Interest Period. For the purpose hereof, the following
                       terms shall have the following meanings:


                                "Borrowing Tranche" shall mean (i) portions of
                       the Loans to which a Euro-Rate Option applies by reason
                       of the selection of, conversion to or renewal of such
                       Interest Rate Option on the same day and having the same
                       Interest Period, and (ii) the portion of the Loans to
                       which the Base Rate Option applies by reason of the
                       selection of or conversion to such interest rate option.
                       Each Loan subject to a Euro-Rate Option shall be in the
                       minimum amount of $500,000, and each Loan subject to the
                       Base Rate Option shall be in the minimum amount of
                       $100,000.


<PAGE>

                                "Business Day" shall mean any day other than a
                       Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday on which commercial
                       banks are authorized or required to be closed for
                       business in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.


                                "Conditional Default" shall mean an event or
                       condition which, with the passage of time, the giving of
                       notice, or a determination by the Bank, as provided
                       herein, or any combination of the foregoing, would
                       constitute an Event of Default [as defined in the
                       Construction Loan Agreement of even date herewith between
                       the Borrower and the Bank (the "Construction Loan
                       Agreement")].

                       to the present value (as determined by Bank) of the
                       product of (a) the positive difference resulting from
                       subtracting the interest rate for a portion of the Loans
                       subject to the Euro-Rate Option which would be applicable
                       to a similarly sized Borrowing Tranche determined on the
                       day of prepayment for a period of time commencing on the
                       date of prepayment and terminating on the last day of the
                       Euro-Rate Interest Period for the Borrowing Tranche being
                       prepaid from the interest rate for the Euro-Rate Option
                       actually in effect for the Borrowing Tranche being
                       prepaid; and (b) the amount of the Borrowing Tranche; and
                       (c) a fraction with a numerator equal to the number of
                       days remaining in the Euro-Rate Interest Period of the
                       Borrowing Tranche being prepaid and a denominator of 360.
                       Any certificate of Bank delivered to Borrower setting
                       forth the amount of Consequential Loss as provided herein
                       shall show the calculations required to determine such
                       Consequential Loss and shall be conclusive and binding,
                       absent manifest error, as to such amount and
                       determination.


                                "Euro-Rate" shall mean, with respect to any Loan
                       for any Euro-Rate Interest Period, the interest rate per
                       annum determined by the Bank by dividing (the resulting
                       quotient rounded upward to the nearest 1/16th of 1% per
                       annum) (i) the rate of interest determined by the Bank in
                       accordance with its usual procedures (which determination

                       or its successor ceases to provide such quotes, a
                       comparable replacement as determined by the Bank) two (2)
                       Business Days prior to the first day of such Euro-Rate
                       Interest Period for an amount comparable to such Loan and
                       having a borrowing date and a maturity comparable to such

                       minus the Euro-Rate Reserve Percentage. The Euro-Rate may

                       Euro-Rate Reserve Percentage

                                "Euro-Rate Interest Period" shall mean the
                       period of one, two, three, four, six or twelve months
                       selected by the Borrower commencing on the date of
                       disbursement of a Loan and each successive period
                       selected by the Borrower thereafter; provided, that if a
                       Euro-Rate Interest Period would end on a day which is not
                       a Business Day, it shall end on the next succeeding
                       Business Day, unless such day falls in the succeeding

                       no event shall any Euro-Rate Interest Period end on a day

                       to the Bank, which is in effect during any relevant
                       period, as specified by the Board of Governors of the

                       supplemental, marginal and emergency reserves) with
                       respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as
                       "Eurocurrency Liabilities") of a member bank in such

                       as the context so indicates, or any injunction, writ,
                       decree or award of any Official Body having jurisdiction
                       over or otherwise applicable to the Borrower, or the Bank
                       as the context so indicates, or applicable to any of the
                       security for the Loans.

                                "Official Body" shall mean any national,
                       federal, state, local or other government or political
                       subdivision or any agency, authority, bureau, central
                       bank, commission, department or instrumentality of
                       either, or any court, tribunal, grand jury or arbitrator,
                       in each case whether foreign or domestic.

                  1.6 Payment of Interest. The Borrower shall pay accrued
  interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note in arrears at the
  applicable rate or rates on (i) the first day of each month during the term
  hereof, (ii) at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise of the Note,
  and (iii) after maturity, on demand until paid in full.

  of each election of an interest rate option, each conversion from one interest
  rate option to another, the



<PAGE>


amount of the Loans then outstanding to be allocated to each interest rate
option and where relevant the Euro-Rate Interest Periods. Any election of or
conversion to a Euro-Rate Option shall be made by oral or written notice by the
Borrower to the Bank by 11:00 A.M. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) two (2)
Business Days prior to the commencement of the applicable Euro-Rate Interest
Period followed promptly thereafter by the Borrower's written confirmation to
the Bank of any oral notice. Any such election shall be promptly confirmed in
writing by such method as the Bank may require.

                  1.8 Default Rate and Late Payment Charge. After the principal
amount of all or any part of the Loans shall have become due and payable,
whether by acceleration or otherwise, all the Loans shall thereafter bear
interest at a rate per annum which shall be four percent (4%) per annum above
the Prime Rate. In addition, Borrower shall pay upon demand by Bank a late
payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of any payment due under
the Line of Credit, which is not received by the Bank within ten (10) days after
the date such payment is due. The Borrower acknowledges that the increased
interest rate and the late payment charge provided for herein reflect, among
other things, the fact that the Line of Credit has become a substantially
greater risk given its default status and that the Bank is entitled to
additional compensation for such risk.

                  1.9 Fees.

                  (a) On even date herewith, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank
a commitment fee in the amount of $75,000.

                  (b) Upon the exercise of each Extension Option, the Borrower
shall pay to the Bank an extension fee (each being herein called an "Extension
Fee") in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the maximum
principal amount of the Line of Credit outstanding and available to the Borrower
during the applicable Extension Period.

                  1.10 Euro-Rate Unascertainable.

                  (a) If, on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be
determined, the Bank shall have determined (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that:


                  (i)   adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
                        ascertaining such Euro-Rate, or

                  (ii)  an event or condition has occurred which materially and
                        adversely affects the applicable U.S. eurodollar
                        markets, or

                  (b) If, at any time, Bank shall have determined (which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that:

                  (i)   the making, maintenance or funding of any portion of the
                        Loans to which a Euro-Rate Option applies has been made
                        impracticable or


<PAGE>


unlawful if Bank complies in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or
application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any
such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or

                  (ii)  such Euro-Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect
                        the cost to the Bank of the establishment or maintenance
                        of any portion of the Loans to which a Euro-Rate Option
                        applies, or

                  (iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the
                        relevant amount in U.S. dollars for the relevant
                        Interest Period for any portion of the Loans to which a
                        Euro-Rate Option applies are not available to Bank in
                        the applicable U.S. eurodollar markets, hen, in the case
                        of any event specified in subsection (a) or (b) above,
                        the Bank shall promptly so notify the Borrower thereof.
                        Upon such date as shall be specified in any such notice
                        (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is
                        given) the obligation of the Bank to allow the Borrower
                        to select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option or, in
                        the case of an existing Euro-Rate Option which shall be
                        unlawful for the Bank to maintain, to continue such
                        Euro-Rate Option, shall be suspended until the Bank
                        shall have later notified the Borrower of the Bank's
                        determination (which determination shall be conclusive
                        absent manifest error) that the circumstances giving
                        rise to such previous determination no longer exist. If
                        at any time the Borrower receives notice from the Bank
                        as provided for in this Section 1.10 whether or not any
                        Euro-Rate Option has gone into effect, such notification
                        shall, subject to the Borrower's indemnification
                        obligations under Section 1.14, be deemed to provide for
                        selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base-Rate
                        Option.

                  1.11 Selection of Interest Rate Options. If the Borrower fails
to select a Euro-Rate Interest Period in accordance with the provisions of
Section 1.7 in the case of a portion of the Loans to which a Euro-Rate Option
applies, the Borrower shall be deemed to have converted such portion of the
Loans to the Base Rate Option. If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Bank may in its discretion limit the Borrower to the Default
Rate.

                  1.12 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right
at its option from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part on the
dates set forth below without premium or penalty (except as provided below or in
Section 1.14(b) hereof):

                  (i)   on any Business Day with respect to any portion of the
                        Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies;

                  (ii)  on the last day of the applicable Euro-Rate Interest
                        Period with respect to any portion of the Loans to which
                        a Euro-Rate Option applies; or


<PAGE>


                  (iii) with the Bank's prior approval, on any Business Day of a
                        Euro-Rate Interest Period with respect to any portion of
                        the Loans to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, provided
                        such prepayment is accompanied by an amount sufficient
                        to compensate the Bank for all Consequential Loss and
                        other costs and losses reimbursable under Section
                        1.14(b).

        Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, it shall
provide a prepayment notice to the Bank at least five (5) Business Days prior to
the date of prepayment setting forth the date, which shall be a Business Day, on
which the proposed prepayment is to be made, and the total principal amount of
such prepayment, which shall not be less than $100,000. All prepayment notices
shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of the portion of the Loans for which
a prepayment notice is given shall be due and payable on the date specified in
such prepayment notice.

                  1.13 Application Among Interest Rate Options. All payments
permitted or required pursuant to Section 1.12 shall be applied among the
interest rate options first to the principal amount of the Loans subject to a
Base Rate Option, then to the principal amount of the Loans subject to a
Euro-Rate Option. In accordance with Section 1.14(b), the Borrower shall
indemnify the Bank for any loss or expense including loss of margin incurred
with respect to any such prepayments applied against any portion of the Loans
subject to a Euro-Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the
applicable Euro-Rate Interest Period, provided that, to the extent that the
outstanding principal balance which is subject to the Base Rate Option is less
than the amount of the applicable payment, then, at the election of Borrower so
long as no Event of Default or Conditional Default shall then exist, such
payment and any interest earned thereon, if applicable, shall be applied against
such Borrowing Tranches subject to the Euro-Rate Option as Borrower may choose,
to the extent of such insufficiency, subject to Borrower's obligation to
indemnify the Banks pursuant to Section 1.14(b), or shall be held by Bank in an
interest-bearing escrow account pending the termination of the next Borrowing
Tranche subject to a Euro-Rate Option.

                  1.14 Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances.

                  (a) Increased Costs or Reduced Return on Borrowing Tranches
Subject to a Euro-Rate Option Resulting From Taxes, Reserves, Capital Adequacy
Requirements, Expenses, Etc. With respect to Borrowing Tranches subject to the
Euro-Rate Option, if any future Law, guideline or interpretation or any change
in any Law, guideline or interpretation or application thereof by any Official
Body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance
with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any
central bank or other Official Body:


<PAGE>


                  (i)   subjects Bank to any tax or charge with respect to this
                        Agreement, the Note, the Loans or payments by the
                        Borrower of principal, interest, or other amounts due
                        from the Borrower hereunder or under the Note (except
                        for taxes on the overall net income of the Bank, any
                        corporate franchise tax imposed on the Bank or any
                        withholding tax imposed by the United States of
                        America),

                  (ii)  imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve,
                        special deposit or similar requirement against credits
                        or commitments to extend credit extended by, or assets
                        (funded or contingent) of, deposits with or for the
                        account of, or other acquisition of funds by, any Bank,
                        or

                  (iii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any capital
                        adequacy or similar requirement (A) against assets
                        (funded or contingent) of, or credits or commitments to
                        extend credit extended by, the Bank, or (B) otherwise
                        applicable to the obligations of the Bank under this
                        Agreement, and the result of any of the foregoing is to
                        increase the cost to, reduce the income receivable by,
                        or impose any expenses (including loss of margin) upon
                        the Bank with respect to this Agreement, the Note or the
                        making, maintenance or funding of any part of the Loans
                        (or, in the case of any capital adequacy or similar
                        requirement, to have the effect of reducing the rate of
                        return on the Bank's capital, taking into consideration
                        the Bank's customary policies with respect to capital
                        adequacy) by an amount which the Bank in its sole
                        discretion deems to be material, the Bank may from time
                        to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in
                        good faith (using any averaging and attribution methods
                        employed in good faith) by the Bank (which determination
                        shall be conclusive absent manifest error) to be
                        necessary to compensate the Bank for such increase in
                        cost, reduction of income or additional expense. Such
                        notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis
                        for such determination. Such amount shall be due and
                        payable by Borrower to the Bank within ten (10) Business
                        Days after such notice is given; provided, however, that
                        if the Bank demands compensation under this Section
                        1.14, Borrower may at any time upon two (2) Business
                        Days' prior notice to the Bank (a) give notice to the
                        Bank that it is canceling such Borrowing Tranches
                        subject to a Euro-Rate Option, whereupon each such
                        Borrowing Tranche so canceled shall terminate and the
                        Borrower shall be obligated to compensate the Bank as
                        provided in this Section 1.14(a) above and to indemnify
                        the Bank as provided in subsection 1.14(b) below and to
                        pay the Bank upon demand an amount equal to all
                        Consequential Loss, if any, resulting therefrom, and (b)
                        convert such Borrowing Tranches subject to the Euro-Rate
                        Option to the Base Rate Option.

                  (b) Indemnity. In addition to the compensation required by
subsection (a) of this Section 1.14, the Borrower shall indemnify the Bank
against any loss or expense (including Consequential Loss, loss of margin, any
loss incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties and any
loss or expense incurred in connection with funds acquired by the Bank to


<PAGE>


fund or maintain a portion of the Loans subject to the Euro-Rate Option) which
the Bank sustains or incurs as a consequence of any

                  (i)   payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any
                        portion of the Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option
                        applies on a day other than the last day of an Euro-Rate
                        Interest Period (whether or not such payment or
                        prepayment is mandatory or automatic and whether or not
                        such payment or prepayment is then due), or

                  (ii)  attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later
                        inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any
                        notice relating to the selection of the Euro-Rate Option
                        under Section 1.11 or prepayments under Section 1.12.

If the Bank sustains or incurs any such loss or expense it shall from time to
time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by the Bank
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error and may include
such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution
methods as the Bank shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify the Bank
for such loss or expense within three (3) months of the Bank becoming aware of
such loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis
for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to
the Bank ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

        1.15 Extension Option.

        If the Conditions for Extension (as hereinafter defined) are satisfied
on the date of exercise of the applicable Extension Option (as hereinafter
defined) and remain satisfied on the date of the commencement of the applicable
Extension Period (as hereinafter defined), the Borrower shall have the right to
extend the Expiration Date for two (2) successive periods of twelve (12) months
each (each such twelve (12) month period being hereinafter called an "Extension
Period" and each right to so extend being hereinafter called an "Extension
Option"). Borrower shall provide the Bank with written notice of its election to
extend the then-applicable Expiration Date in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B not more than one-hundred eighty (180) days nor less than thirty (30)
days prior to the then-applicable Expiration Date. If Borrower desires to
exercise an Extension Option but Condition for Extension (h) is not satisfied,
the Borrower may satisfy the failure of such condition by making a permanent
principal payment with respect to the Construction Loan (as hereinafter
defined), within thirty (30) days following the Bank's determination of such
failure, but in no event later than the then-applicable Expiration Date, in the
amount required to reduce the outstanding principal balances of the Construction
Loan and the Line of Credit to the amount where such condition is satisfied (the
"Reduced Availability Limit"), subject to Borrower's simultaneous payment of any
Consequential Loss caused thereby. For the purposes hereof, the term "Conditions
for Extension" shall mean the following conditions: (a) no Remedies Event (as
defined in the Construction Loan Agreement), shall have occurred and be
continuing; (b) no Conditional Default shall have occurred which shall remain
uncured on the date of the commencement of the applicable Extension Period; (c)
the applicable Extension Fee shall be paid by the Borrower to the Bank
simultaneously with the exercise of the applicable Extension Option; (d) on or
before


<PAGE>

the date of commencement of the applicable Extension Period, Borrower shall
reduce the outstanding principal balance to a maximum of (i) Four Million
Dollars ($4,000,000) following the exercise of the first Extension Option and
the aggregate principal amount available pursuant to the Line of Credit during
the first Extension Period shall be limited to such amount, and (ii) Three
Million Dollars ($3,000,000) following the exercise of the second Extension
Option, and the aggregate principal amount available pursuant to the Line of
Credit during the second Extension Period shall be limited to such amount; (e)
all licenses and permits of the Borrower shall remain in full force and effect;
(f) construction of the Improvements (as defined in the Construction Loan
Agreement) shall have been completed; (g) the Payment Guaranties (as defined in

(as defined in the Construction Loan Agreement) and the Guarantors shall be in
compliance with their respective financial covenants, if any; and (h) the ratio
of EBITDA to Assumed Debt Service plus Capital Expenditures for Colonial Downs
Holdings, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("Holdings") shall be greater than 3.5 to
1. For the purposes hereof, the term "Assumed Debt Service" shall mean the sum
of all principal and interest payments for a twelve (12) month period with
respect to a loan equal to the sum of the maximum amount available under the
Line of Credit during the applicable Extension Period and the outstanding
principal balance of the Construction Loan on the date of exercise of the
applicable Extension Option which payments are based upon a twenty (20) year
mortgage-style amortization schedule of such sum, assuming an interest rate per
annum equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) above the "weekly average yield"
on United States Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of ten (10)
years, as published in the Release five (5) Business Days prior to the date of
determination (in the event that the Release is no longer published, a
reasonable equivalent substitute therefor as may be selected by the Bank in its
reasonable discretion shall be utilized and further in the event that if the
Release is not published five (5) Business Days prior to the date of
determination, then the Release as published on the most recent date prior
thereto shall be utilized). For the purposes hereof, the term "Release" shall
mean the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) titled "Selected Interest
Rates." For the purposes hereof, the term "Capital Expenditures" shall mean all
recurring capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business made by the
Borrower during the four (4) calendar quarters preceding the exercise of the
applicable Extension Option determined in accordance with GAAP and limited to
the amount of the annual capital expenditure budget prepared by Borrower and
approved by the Bank in accordance with Section 4.4 hereof.

        2. Security. The security for repayment of the Loans shall include but
not be limited to the collateral, guaranties and other documents heretofore,
contemporaneously or hereafter executed and delivered to the Bank (the "Security

exercising any right hereunder or under the Loan Agreement shall operate as a
waiver of such right or of any other right of such holder, nor shall any delay,
omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or waiver of the same
or any other right on any future occasion. Borrower and every endorser of this
Note, regardless of the time, order or place of signing, consent to any one or
more extensions or postponements of the time of payment or any other
indulgences, to any substitutions, exchanges, renewals or releases of collateral

primarily or secondarily liable.

governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to the principles of
conflict of laws.

                  (a) CDH has good and marketable title to an estate in fee

herein and the validity and priority of the lien hereof and shall forever
warrant and defend the same to Beneficiary against the claims of all persons and
parties whomsoever.

other financial data furnished to Beneficiary by Trustor or, to the best of
Trustor's knowledge, any other obligor or guarantor of all or any portion of the

         1.3 No Litigation. Except is previously disclosed in writing to the

pending, or to the best of Trustor's knowledge threatened, which questions the
capacity or authority of Trustor to fulfill its obligations under this Deed of

affect Trustor's use, ownership, control or occupancy of any portion of the Deed
of Trust Property.

damaged by fire or other casualty which is not now fully restored and no notice

and conform to all present and future laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, orders,
decrees, regulations and requirements, even if unforeseen or extraordinary, of
every governmental authority or agency and all covenants, restrictions and
conditions which may be applicable to Trustor or to any of the Deed of Trust
Property or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation,
maintenance, alteration, repair or reconstruction of any of the Deed of Trust
Property (collectively, the "Legal Requirements"), even if such compliance
necessitates structural changes or improvements or results in interference with
the use or enjoyment of any of the Deed of Trust Property, provided that no
material structural changes shall be made without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
subject to the right of good faith contest as set forth in Section 2.3(c) below.

         2.3 Impositions.

Beneficiary by reason of its holding any of the Loan Documents, including
intangibles, business privilege and excise taxes, but excluding any taxes upon
the income derived by Beneficiary upon the interest or other sums collected by
Beneficiary pursuant to the Loan Documents. The obligations referred to in this
Section are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Impositions". Within
forty-five (45) days after the payment of any Imposition, Trustor shall deliver
to Beneficiary evidence reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary of such payment.

thereof copies of all settlements and notices pertaining to the Impositions
which may be issued by any governmental authority.

                  (b) Subject to the right of Trustor to contest the payment of
an Imposition as hereinafter provided, Beneficiary may pay or perform any
Imposition and add the amount so paid or the cost incurred to the Secured
Obligations, and all such amounts shall on demand be due and payable, together
with interest thereon, from the date of such demand at the Base Rate (as defined
in the Loan Agreements), provided that, if the Trustor shall fail to pay such
amount within ten (10) days following such demand, thereafter the Default Rate
(as defined in the Loan Agreements) shall be applicable thereto.

                  (c) Trustor may in good faith contest by proper legal
proceedings the validity of any Legal Requirement or the validity or amount of
any Imposition, provided, (i) a Remedies Event (as defined in the Construction
Loan Agreement) does not exist; (ii) Trustor provides Beneficiary with security
satisfactory to Beneficiary assuring compliance with or payment of the Legal
Requirement or Imposition and any additional charge, interest, penalty, expense
or other payment which may arise from or be incurred as a result of any delay in
such compliance or payment during the course of such contest, all as reasonably
estimated from time to time by Beneficiary; and (iii) such contest operates to
suspend enforcement of compliance with or collection of the Legal Requirement or
Imposition and is maintained and prosecuted with diligence.

         2.4 Maintenance and Impairment of Security. Keep the Deed of Trust
Property in good condition and order and in a rentable and tenantable state of
repair and will make or cause to be made, as and when necessary, all repairs,
renewals, and replacements, structural and nonstructural, exterior and interior,
foreseen and unforeseen, ordinary and extraordinary, provided, however, that no
structural repairs, renewals or replacements shall be made without Beneficiary's
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Trustor shall not remove, demolish or alter the Deed of Trust Property
nor commit or suffer waste with respect thereto nor permit the Deed of Trust
Property to become deserted or abandoned. Trustor shall, upon reasonable notice

permit any action with respect to the Deed of Trust Property which will, in any
material manner, impair the security of this Deed of Trust.

                  (a) Trustor shall maintain the insurance required under the
Loan Agreements, and such other insurance as may be reasonably required from
time to time by Beneficiary. The amounts, coverages and other terms and

provisions of each insurance policy and (ii) all requirements of the insurers
thereunder applicable to Trustor or any of the Deed of Trust Property or to the
use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or
repair of any of the Deed of Trust Property, even if such compliance
necessitates structural changes or improvements or results in interference with
the use or enjoyment of any of the Deed of Trust Property, provided, however,
Trustor shall obtain the prior written consent of Beneficiary prior to making
any structural changes or improvements or interfering with the use or enjoyment
of any of the Deed of Trust Property which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Trustor shall not use or permit any party to use any of the
Deed of Trust Property in any manner which would permit the insurer to cancel
any insurance policy.

compromise any claims under said policies without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary. Each insurer is hereby authorized and directed to make payment
under said policies, including return of unearned premiums, directly to
Beneficiary instead of to Trustor and Beneficiary jointly, and Trustor appoints
Beneficiary as Trustor's attorney-in-fact to endorse any draft therefor. For
losses with respect to the Project in excess of $5,000,000, all insurance
proceeds shall be payable to Beneficiary and in the event of any loss in excess
of $5,000,000 or if an Event of Default or Conditional Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, such proceeds may, at Beneficiary's sole option, be
applied to all or any part of the Secured Obligations and in any order
(notwithstanding that such Secured Obligations may not then otherwise be due and
payable) or to the repair and restoration of any of the Deed of Trust Property
under such terms and conditions as are set forth in Section 4.4 or otherwise as
Beneficiary may reasonably impose. Beneficiary shall not be deemed to have
elected such option until such option is elected specifically in writing. Until
so elected, Beneficiary shall not in any circumstances be deemed to have waived
its right to make such election. If the conditions of Section 4.5 hereof are
satisfied at the time of such casualty and the loss is less than



<PAGE>

$5,000,000, Beneficiary shall apply the proceeds to the repair or restoration of
the Deed of Trust Property under such terms and conditions as are set forth in
Section 4.4 or such other terms and conditions supplemental thereto as
Beneficiary may reasonably impose.

         4.3 Condemnation. Trustor, promptly after obtaining knowledge of the
institution of any proceedings for the condemnation or taking by eminent domain
of any of the Deed of Trust Property, shall notify Beneficiary of the pendency
of such proceedings. Beneficiary may participate in any such proceedings and
Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary all instruments requested by it to permit
such participation. Any award or compensation in excess of $5,000,000 for
property taken or for damage to property not taken, whether as a result of such
proceedings or in lieu thereof, is hereby assigned to and shall for property
taken or for damage to property not taken, whether as a result of such
proceedings or in lieu thereof, is hereby assigned to and shall be received and
collected directly by Beneficiary, and any award or compensation shall be
applied, at Beneficiary's option, to any part of the Secured Obligations and in
any order (notwithstanding that any of such Secured Obligations may not then be
due and payable) or to the repair and restoration of any of the Deed of Trust
Property under such terms and conditions as are set forth in Section 4.4 or
otherwise as Beneficiary may reasonably impose, provided that if the conditions
set forth in Section 4.5 are satisfied at the time of condemnation, any award or
compensation less than $5,000,000 shall be applied by Beneficiary to the repair
and restoration of the Deed of Trust Property under such terms and conditions as
are set forth in Section 4.4 or such other terms and conditions supplemental
thereto as Beneficiary may reasonably impose. During the continuance of an Event
of Default or Conditional Default, any award or compensation shall be applied at
the Beneficiary's option to any part of the Secured Obligations as aforesaid or
to the repair and restoration of the Deed of Trust Property under such terms and
conditions as are set forth in Section 4.4 or otherwise as Beneficiary may
reasonably impose. Beneficiary shall not be deemed to have elected such option
until such option is elected specifically in writing. Until so elected,
Beneficiary shall not in any circumstances be deemed to have waived its right to
make such election.

         4.4 Restoration.

                  (a) All amounts received by Beneficiary pursuant to this
Article and which are to be applied to the restoration of the Deed of Trust
Property may either be held in a restoration fund ("Restoration Fund") by
Beneficiary or, if it refuses to serve, a bank or trust company appointed by
Beneficiary which has a combined capital and surplus of not less than
$50,000,000 as restoration fund trustee (the "Restoration Fund Trustee") with
any additions thereto that may be required by Beneficiary as hereinafter
provided. The interest or income, if any, received on all deposits or
investments of any monies in the Restoration Fund shall be added to the
Restoration Fund. If Beneficiary consents to the deposit of such funds in an
interest-bearing account or otherwise consents to the investment of such funds,
neither Beneficiary nor the Restoration Fund Trustee shall be liable or
accountable for any loss resulting from any such deposit or investment or for
any withdrawal, redemption or sale of deposits or investments. Beneficiary and
the Restoration Fund Trustee may impose reasonable charges for services
performed in managing the Restoration Fund and may deduct such charges
therefrom. In the event of a loss of less than $5,000,000 and if the provisions
of Section 4.5 have been satisfied, or



<PAGE>

the Beneficiary elects to apply the proceeds to restoration as permitted
pursuant to the terms hereof, restoration shall be performed only in accordance
with the following conditions:

                  (i)    prior to commencement of restoration and from time to
                         time during restoration, if Beneficiary reasonably
                         determines that the monies on deposit in the
                         Restoration Fund are insufficient to complete the
                         restoration, Beneficiary may require Trustor to deposit
                         additional monies into the Restoration Fund, or provide
                         evidence of the availability of such moneys in the
                         manner set forth in Section 6.8 of the Construction
                         Loan Agreement, in amounts which, in Beneficiary's
                         judgment, are sufficient to defray all costs to be
                         incurred to complete the restoration and all costs
                         associated therewith, including labor, materials,
                         architectural and design fees and expenses and
                         contractor's fees and expenses, and Beneficiary shall
                         have approved a budget and cost breakdown for the
                         restoration, together with a disbursement schedule, in
                         detail satisfactory to Beneficiary;

                  (ii)   prior to commencement of restoration, the contracts,
                         contractors, plans and specifications for the
                         restoration shall have been approved by Beneficiary and
                         all governmental authorities having jurisdiction, and
                         Beneficiary shall be provided with satisfactory title
                         insurance and, if reasonably requested by Beneficiary,
                         acceptable surety bonds insuring satisfactory
                         completion of the restoration and the payment of all
                         subcontractors and materialmen;

                  (iii)  all restoration work shall be done under contracts and
                         with contractors that are subject to the prior written
                         approval of Beneficiary which shall be fully or
                         partially bonded if reasonably requested by
                         Beneficiary;

                  (iv)   at the time of any disbursement, no Remedies Event or
                         any event or conditions which with the passage of time
                         or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a
                         Remedies Event shall have occurred, no mechanics' or
                         materialmen's liens shall have been filed and remain
                         undischarged and an endorsement satisfactory to
                         Beneficiary to its title insurance policy shall have
                         been delivered to Beneficiary;

                  (v)    disbursements from the Restoration Fund shall be made
                         from time to time, but not more frequently than once
                         each calendar month, for completed work under the
                         aforesaid contracts (subject to retainage) and for
                         other costs associated therewith and approved by
                         Beneficiary upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to
                         Beneficiary of the stage of completion and of
                         performance of the work in a good and workmanlike
                         manner in accordance with the contracts, plans and
                         specifications as approved by Beneficiary;

                  (vi)   Trustor will pay the cost of Beneficiary's inspecting
                         architect or engineer and the cost of any attorney's
                         fees and disbursements incurred by Beneficiary in
                         connection with such restoration;


<PAGE>


                  (vii)  Beneficiary shall have the option to retain up to ten
                         percent (10%) of the cost of all work until the
                         restoration is fully completed, as determined by
                         Beneficiary, and all occupancy permits therefor have
                         been issued;

                  (viii) Beneficiary may impose such other reasonable
                         conditions, including a restoration schedule, as are
                         customarily imposed by construction lenders to assure
                         complete and lien-free restoration;

                  (ix)   any sum remaining in the Restoration Fund upon
                         completion of restoration shall, at Beneficiary's
                         option, be applied to any part of the Secured
                         Obligations and in any order (notwithstanding that any
                         of such Secured Obligations may not then be due and
                         payable) or be paid to Trustor; provided that, in the
                         event that any funds have been deposited in the
                         Restoration Fund by Trustor other than insurance
                         proceeds, any sum remaining in the Restoration Fund
                         shall be paid to Trustor up to the amount of such funds
                         deposited therein by the Trustor.

                  (b) If within a reasonable period of time after the occurrence
of any loss or damage to the Deed of Trust Property, Trustor shall not have
submitted to Beneficiary and received Beneficiary's approval of plans and
specifications for the repair, restoration or rebuilding of such loss or damage
or shall not have obtained approval of such plans and specifications from all
governmental authorities whose approval is required or if, after such plans and
specifications are approved by Beneficiary and by all such governmental
authorities, Trustor shall fail to commence promptly such repair, restoration or
rebuilding or if thereafter Trustor fails to carry out diligently such repair,
restoration or rebuilding or is delinquent in the payment to mechanics,
materialmen or others of the costs incurred in connection with such work or if
any other condition of this paragraph is not satisfied within a reasonable
period of time after the occurrence of any such loss or damage, then
Beneficiary, in addition to all other rights herein set forth, and after giving
Trustor thirty (30) days written notice of the nonfulfillment of one or more of
the foregoing conditions, may, failing Trustor's fulfillment of said conditions
within said thirty (30)-day period, at Beneficiary's option, (A) declare all
Secured Obligations immediately due and payable, and/or (B) perform or cause to
be performed such repair, restoration or rebuilding and may take such other
steps as Beneficiary may elect to carry out such repair, restoration or
rebuilding and may enter upon the Deed of Trust Property for any of the
foregoing purposes, and Trustor hereby waives, for itself and all others holding
under it, any claim against Beneficiary and any receiver and their respective
agents (other than a claim based upon the alleged gross negligence or
intentional misconduct of Beneficiary or any such receiver or agent) arising out
of anything done by them or any of them pursuant to this paragraph and
Beneficiary may, in its discretion, apply any insurance or condemnation proceeds
held by it to reimburse itself and/or such receiver for all amounts expended or
incurred by it in connection with the performance of such work, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, and any excess costs shall be paid by Trustor to
Beneficiary, and Trustor's obligation to pay such excess costs shall be secured
by the lien of this Deed of Trust and shall bear interest at the Default Rate
until paid.

                  (c) Trustor waives any and all right to claim or recover
against Beneficiary, its officers, employees, agents and representatives for
loss of or damage to Trustor, the Deed of



<PAGE>


Trust Property, Trustor's property or the property of others under Trustor's
control from any cause insured against or required to be insured against by the
provisions of this Deed of Trust.

         4.5 Proceeds Available for Restoration.

                  Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.3 hereof,
Beneficiary agrees to make casualty and condemnation proceeds available for
reconstruction in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 4.4 hereof
provided the following conditions are met to Beneficiary's satisfaction at the
time of such casualty or condemnation:



                  (a) No Remedies Event or Conditional Default (other than a
Conditional Default consisting of the applicable casualty or condemnation) shall
have occurred and be continuing;



                  (b) The Trustor provides evidence satisfactory to the
Beneficiary that construction of the Project can be completed by the Expiration
Date; and



                  (c) The Beneficiary determines, in its sole discretion, that
casualty or condemnation proceeds are sufficient to pay in full the cost of
reconstruction. In the event that the Beneficiary determines that such proceeds
are not sufficient, Beneficiary shall not be required to make any proceeds
available for reconstruction unless the Trustor complies with the provisions of
Section 4.4(a)(i) hereof.



                                   5. DEFAULT



         5.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of an Event of Default under the
Loan Agreement as such term is defined in the Loan Agreements shall constitute
an "Event of Default" hereunder.



         5.2 Demand Obligation. Nothing in this Deed of Trust or any of the
other Loan Documents shall be construed to limit the applicability of any term
of the Loan Documents providing for the payment of any Secured Obligations on
demand.

                                   6. REMEDIES



         6.1 Rights and Remedies of Beneficiary. If a Remedies Event occurs,
Beneficiary may, at its option and notwithstanding any contrary provisions in
the Loan Agreements or any of the other Loan Documents, without demand, notice
or delay, do one or more of the following:



                  (a) Beneficiary may declare the entire unpaid principal
balance of the Secured Obligations, together with all interest thereon, to be
due and payable immediately (and in the case of an Event of Default under
Section 10.1(h) of the Construction Loan Agreement, all such indebtedness shall
automatically and immediately become due and payable without notice or any other
act).



                  (b) Beneficiary may (i) institute and maintain an action of
mortgage foreclosure against the Deed of Trust Property and the interests of
Trustor therein, (ii) institute and maintain an action on any instruments
evidencing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof, and (iii) take such
other action at law or in equity for the enforcement of any of the Loan
Documents as the law may allow, and in each such action Beneficiary shall be
entitled to all costs of suit and attorneys fees.



                  (c) Beneficiary may, in its sole and absolute discretion, and
without releasing Trustor or any other obligor or guarantor from any obligation
under any of the Loan Documents and without waiving any Remedies Event: (i)
collect any or all of the Rents, including any Rents past due and unpaid, (ii)
perform any obligation or exercise any right or remedy of Trustor under any
Lease, or (iii) enforce any obligation of any tenant of any of the Deed of Trust
Property. Beneficiary may exercise any right under this subsection (c) whether
or not Beneficiary shall have entered into possession of any of the Deed of
Trust Property, and nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting
Beneficiary a "mortgagee in possession", unless Beneficiary shall have entered
into and shall continue to be in actual possession of the Deed of Trust
Property. Trustor hereby authorizes and directs each and every present and
future tenant of any of the Deed of Trust Property to pay all Rents directly to
Beneficiary and to perform all other obligations of that tenant for the direct
benefit of Beneficiary, as if Beneficiary were the landlord under the Lease with
that tenant, immediately upon receipt of a demand by Beneficiary to make such
payment or perform such obligations. Trustor hereby waives any right, claim or
demand it may now or hereafter have against any such tenant by reason of such
payment of Rents or performance of obligations to Beneficiary, and any such
payment or performance to Beneficiary shall discharge the obligations of the
tenant to make such payment or performance to Trustor. Trustor shall indemnify
Beneficiary and hold Beneficiary harmless from and against any and all claims,
liability, damage, cost and expense (including attorney's fees) which may be
asserted against or incurred by Beneficiary by reason of any obligations of
Trustor to perform any provision of any Lease. Beneficiary may apply the Rents
received by Beneficiary in accordance with Section 10.2(d) of the Construction
Loan Agreement. Beneficiary may, in its sole discretion, determine the method by
which, and extent to which, the Rents will be collected and obligations of
tenants enforced; and Beneficiary may waive or fail to perform or enforce any


<PAGE>


provision of any Lease. Beneficiary shall not be accountable for any Rents or
other sums it does not actually receive. Trustor hereby appoints Beneficiary as
its attorney-in-fact effective upon a Remedies Event to perform all acts which
Trustor is required or permitted to perform under any and all Leases.



                  (d) Beneficiary may, without releasing Trustor or any obligor
or guarantor of any of the Secured Obligations from any obligation under any of
the Loan Documents and without waiving any Remedies Event, enter upon and take
possession of the Deed of Trust Property or any portion thereof, with or without
legal action and by force if permitted by applicable Law, or have a receiver
appointed without proof of depreciation or inadequacy of the value of the Deed
of Trust Property, the insolvency of Trustor, or any other proof. Beneficiary or
said receiver may, subject to the terms and conditions of the Leases, manage and
operate the Deed of Trust Property, make, cancel, enforce or modify the Leases
or any of them, obtain and evict tenants, establish or change the amount of any
Rents, and perform any acts and advance any sums which Beneficiary deems proper
to protect the security of this Deed of Trust, all such sums to be payable on
demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, from the date of
such demand, and such sums and interest to be secured by this Deed of Trust.



                  (e) Beneficiary may elect to cause the Deed of Trust Property,
or any part thereof to be sold as follows:



                  (i)    Beneficiary may proceed as if all of the Deed of Trust
                         Property were real property in accordance with
                         subparagraph (iv) below, or Beneficiary may elect to
                         treat the Equipment, the Other Property or any property
                         which consists of a right in action or which is
                         property that can be severed from the Land or the
                         Improvements without causing structural damage thereto
                         as if the same were personal property, and dispose of
                         the same in accordance with subparagraph (iii) below,
                         separate and apart from the sale of real property, the
                         remainder of the Deed of Trust Property being treated
                         as real property.



                  (ii)   Beneficiary may cause any such sale or other
                         disposition to be conducted immediately following the
                         expiration of any cure period, if any, herein provided
                         or Beneficiary may delay any such sale or other
                         disposition for such period of time as Beneficiary
                         deems to be in its best interest. Should Beneficiary
                         desire that more than one such sale or other
                         disposition be conducted, Beneficiary may, at its
                         option, cause the same to be conducted simultaneously,
                         or successively on the same day, or at such different
                         days or times and in such order as Beneficiary may deem
                         to be in its best interests.


<PAGE>


                  (iii)  Should Beneficiary elect to cause any of the Deed of
                         Trust Property to be disposed of as personal property
                         as permitted by subparagraph (i) above, it may dispose
                         of any part thereof in any manner now or hereafter
                         permitted by Article 9 of the Virginia Uniform
                         Commercial Code or in accordance with any other remedy
                         provided by law. Any such disposition may be conducted
                         by an employee or agent of Beneficiary or Trustee. Both
                         Trustor and Beneficiary shall be eligible to purchase
                         any part or all of such property at any such
                         disposition. Any such disposition may be either public
                         or private as Beneficiary may so elect, subject to the
                         provisions of the Virginia Uniform Commercial Code.
                         Reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for
                         sale, selling or the like shall include Beneficiary's
                         and Trustee's reasonable attorneys' fees and legal
                         expenses. Trustor, upon demand of Beneficiary, shall
                         assemble such personal property and make it available
                         to Beneficiary at the Land, a place which is hereby
                         deemed reasonably convenient to Beneficiary and
                         Trustor. Beneficiary shall give Trustor at least ten
                         (10) days' prior written notice of the time and place
                         of any public sale or other disposition of such
                         property or of the day on or after which any private
                         sale or any other intended disposition is to be made,
                         and if such notice is sent to Trustor as provided in
                         Section 11.6 of the Construction Loan Agreement, it
                         shall constitute reasonable notice to Trustor.



                  (iv)   Should Beneficiary elect to sell the Deed of Trust
                         Property or any part thereof which is real property or
                         which Beneficiary has elected to treat as real
                         property, upon such election, Beneficiary or Trustee
                         shall give such notice of default and election to sell
                         as may then be required by Law. Thereafter, upon the
                         expiration of such time and the giving of such notice
                         of sale as may then be required by Law, and without the
                         necessity of any demand on Trustor, Trustee or
                         substitute trustee shall have the power and duty to
                         sell and Trustor hereby consents to the passage of a
                         decree of the sale of the Deed of Trust Property or any
                         portion thereof specified by Beneficiary, subject,
                         however, to the provisions of Section 6.2, at public
                         auction at such time and place, and in such manner and
                         upon such terms and conditions, and after such previous
                         public notice, with such postponement of sale or
                         resale, as Trustee or substitute trustees, shall deem
                         best for the interest of all parties concerned, and
                         (the terms of sale being complied with) shall convey
                         the same in fee to the purchaser or purchasers at the
                         cost of Trustor or of the purchaser of the land,
                         premises and improvements so sold, such purchaser being
                         hereby discharged from all liability for the
                         application of the purchase money. Trustee may, and
                         upon request of Beneficiary shall, from time to time
                         postpone the sale by public announcement thereof at the
                         time and place noticed therefor. If the Deed of Trust
                         Property consists of several lots or parcels,
                         Beneficiary may direct that the same be sold as a unit
                         or be sold separately and, if to be sold separately,
                         Beneficiary may designate the order in which such lots
                         or parcels shall be offered for sale or sold. Any
                         person, including Trustor or Beneficiary, may purchase
                         at the sale. Upon the sale, Trustee shall execute and
                         deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a deed or deeds
                         conveying the property so sold, but without any
                         covenant or warranty whatsoever, express or implied,
                         whereupon such purchaser or purchasers shall be let
                         into immediate possession.


<PAGE>


                  (v)    The acknowledgment of the receipt of the purchase money
                         contained in any deed or conveyance executed pursuant
                         to the terms of this Section 6.1(v) shall be sufficient
                         to discharge the grantee of all obligations to see to
                         the proper application of the consideration therefor as
                         hereinafter provided. The purchaser at any trustee's or
                         foreclosure sale hereunder may disaffirm any easement
                         granted or rental or lease contract made in violation
                         of any provision of this Deed of Trust or any of the
                         other Loan Documents and may take immediate possession
                         of the Deed of Trust Property free from, and despite
                         the terms of, such grant of easement or rental or lease
                         contract.



                  (vi)   Upon the completion of any sale or sales made by
                         Trustee or Beneficiary, as the case may be, under or by
                         virtue of this Section 6.1. Trustee is hereby appointed
                         irrevocably the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of
                         Trustor in its name and stead to make all necessary
                         conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of
                         the Deed of Trust Property or any party thereof and the
                         rights so sold and for that purpose and Trustee may
                         execute all necessary instruments of conveyance,
                         assignment and transfer, and may substitute one or more
                         persons with like power, Trustor hereby ratifying and
                         confirming all that its said attorney or any substitute
                         or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof.
                         Nevertheless, Trustor, if so requested by Trustee or
                         Beneficiary, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or
                         sales by executing and delivering to Trustee or to such
                         purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be
                         advisable in the request. Any such sale or sales made
                         under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a
                         judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall
                         operate to divest all of the estate, right, title
                         interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law
                         or in equity, of Trustee in and to the properties and
                         rights so sold, and shall be perpetual bar, both at law
                         and in equity, against Trustor and any all persons
                         claiming or who may claim the title, or any part
                         thereof, from, through or under Trustor.



                  (vii)  Trustor hereby expressly waives any right which it may
                         have to direct the order in which any of the Deed of
                         Trust Property shall be sold in the event of any sale
                         or sales pursuant hereto.



                  6.2 Application of Proceeds. The purchase money, proceeds or
avails of any sale made under or by virtue of Section 6.1, together with all
other sums which may then be held by Trustee or Beneficiary under this Deed of
Trust, whether under the provisions of Section 6.1, or otherwise, shall be
applied as follows:



                  FIRST: To the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses of
the sale, including a reasonable trustees' commission not to exceed one percent
(1%) of the purchase price and actual attorneys' fee to the attorneys
representing Trustee or any substitute trustee and



<PAGE>


Beneficiary, and to the payment of all actual, out-of-pocket expenses,
liabilities and advances made by Trustee and all taxes or assessments, except
for any taxes, assessments or other charges subject to which the Deed of Trust
Property shall have been sold, and further including all costs of publishing,
recording, mailing and posting notice, the cost of any search and/or other
evidence of title procured in connection therewith and the cost of any revenue
stamps on any deed of conveyance.



                  SECOND: To the payment of any and all sums expended under the
terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the Default Rate
specified in the Loan Agreements and all other sums required to be paid by
Trustor pursuant to any provisions of this Deed of Trust or of the Notes, Loan
Agreements, or any other Loan Documents, including all expenses, liabilities and
advances made or incurred by Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust or in
connection with the enforcement hereof, together with interest at the Default
Rate specified in the Loan Agreements on all advances.



                  THIRD: To the payment of the interest and principal then due,
owing and unpaid upon the Notes in the manner set forth in the Notes, with
interest on the unpaid principal at the Default Rate from the due date of any
such payment of principal until the same is paid.



                  FOURTH: The remainder, if any, to the person or persons
legally entitled thereto.



         6.3 Purchase by Beneficiary. Upon any sale or sales made under or by
virtue of Section 6.1, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or
under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of
foreclosure and sale, Beneficiary may bid for and acquire the Deed of Trust
Property or any part thereof and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make
settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Secured Obligations the
net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of sale and the costs of
the judicial proceedings, if any, and any other sums which Trustee or
Beneficiary is authorized to deduct under this Deed of Trust, and, in such
event, this Deed of Trust, the Notes and documents evidencing expenditures
secured hereby shall be presented to the person or persons conducting the sale
in order that the amount so used or applied may be credited upon said
indebtedness as having been paid.



         6.4 Trustor's Possession of Deed of Trust Property. Upon the occurrence
of any Remedies Event and pending the exercise by Trustee or Beneficiary or
their agents or attorneys of their right to exclude Trustor from all or any part
of the Deed of Trust Property, Trustor agrees to vacate and surrender possession
of the Deed of Trust Property to Trustee or Beneficiary, as the case may be, or
to a receiver, if any, and in default thereof may be evicted by any summary


<PAGE>


action or proceeding for the recovery of possession of leased premises for
non-payment of rent, however designated. In the event that there be a trustees'
sale hereunder and if at the time of such sale Trustor, or its heir, executor,
administrator or assign, by occupying the Deed of Trust Property or any part
thereof so sold, each and all shall immediately become the tenant of the
purchaser at such sale, which tenancy shall be a tenancy from day to day,
terminable at the will of either tenant or landlord, at a reasonable rental per
day based upon the value of the Deed of Trust Property, such rental to be due
daily to the purchaser. An action of unlawful detainer shall lie if the tenant
holds over after a demand in writing for possession of said Deed of Trust
Property; and this agreement and the Trustee's deed shall constitute a lease and
agreement under which any such tenant's possession arose and continued.



         6.5 No Release. If Trustee or Beneficiary (a) grants forbearance or an
extension of time for the payment of any sums secured hereby; (b) takes other or
additional security for the payment of any sums secured hereby; (c) waives or
does not exercise any right granted herein or in the Notes or in any other Loan
Document; (d) reconveys with or without consideration any of the Deed of Trust
Property or any other security for the Secured Obligations; (e) changes any of
the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of the Notes or this Deed of
Trust or any other Loan Document; (f) consents to the filing of any map, plat or
replat or condominium declaration affecting the Deed of Trust Property; (g)
consents to the granting of any easement or other right affecting the Deed of
Trust Property; or (h) makes or consents to any agreement subordinating the lien
hereof; any such act or omission shall not release, discharge, modify, change or
affect except to the extent of the changes referred to in clause (e) above the
original liability under the Notes, the Loan Agreements, this Deed of Trust or
any other Loan Document or any other obligation of Trustor or any subsequent
purchaser of the Deed of Trust Property or any part thereof, or any maker,
co-signor, endorser, surety or guarantor of the Notes and the other Secured
Obligations, nor shall any such act or omission preclude Trustee or Beneficiary
from exercising any right, power or privilege granted herein or in any of the
other Loan Documents or intended to be granted in the event of any default then
made or of any subsequent default, nor shall the lien of this Deed of Trust or
the priority thereof be altered thereby, whether or not there are junior lienors
and whether or not they consent to any of the foregoing.



         6.6 Remedies Cumulative. All remedies contained in this Deed of Trust
are cumulative and Beneficiary also has all other remedies provided by law or in
equity or in the Notes or in any of the other Loan Documents. No delay or
failure by Beneficiary to exercise any right or remedy under this Deed of Trust
will be construed to be a waiver of that right or remedy or a waiver of any
Remedies Event. Beneficiary may exercise any one or more of its rights and
remedies without regard to the adequacy of its security. One or more of the
other Loan Documents may contain provisions pursuant to which all or a part of
the Secured Obligations shall become immediately and automatically due and
payable upon the occurrence of certain events described therein. Nothing in this
Deed of Trust shall be construed as limiting the effectiveness of such
provisions, and in the event of any inconsistency with the terms of this Deed of
Trust, those provisions more advantageous to Beneficiary shall govern.

         6.7 No Merger.



                  (a) If Beneficiary or any other person or entity owning or
holding this Deed of Trust shall acquire or shall become vested with the fee
title to the Deed of Trust Property or any other estate or interest in the Deed
of Trust Property, such estates shall not merge as a result of such acquisition
and shall remain separate and distinct from all other estates and interests in
the Deed of Trust Property for all purposes after such acquisition. The lien and
security interest created hereby shall not be destroyed or terminated by the
application of the doctrine of merger and, in such event, Beneficiary or such
other person or entity shall continue to have and enjoy all of the rights and
privileges of Beneficiary hereunder as to each separate estate unless and until
Beneficiary or such other person or entity shall affirmatively elect in writing
to merge such estates.



                  (b) Upon the foreclosure of the lien created hereby on the
Deed of Trust Property, as herein provided, any Leases then existing shall not
be destroyed or terminated by application of the doctrine of merger or by
operation of law or as a result of such foreclosure unless Beneficiary or any
purchaser at a foreclosure sale shall so elect by written notice to the lessee
in question.



                            7. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS



         7.1 Environmental Warranty and Indemnification. The Hazardous Materials
Certificate and Indemnity Agreement of even date herewith from Trustor and
Guarantors to Beneficiary is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety by this
reference.



                      8. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS



         8.1 Installments for Insurance, Taxes and Other Charges. Without
limiting the effect of any other provision of this Deed of Trust, Trustor shall,
if requested by Beneficiary, pay to Beneficiary monthly with its payments on the
Notes, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual premiums for the
insurance policies referred to hereinabove and the annual Impositions and any
other item which at any time may be or become a lien upon the Deed of Trust
Property (the "Escrow Charges"), and on demand from time to time Trustor shall
pay to Beneficiary any additional sums necessary to pay when due all Escrow
Charges. The amounts so paid shall be security for the Secured Obligations and
shall be used in payment of the Escrow Charges so long as no Remedies Event
shall exist. No amount so paid to Beneficiary shall be deemed to be trust funds
but may be commingled with general funds of Beneficiary. Beneficiary



<PAGE>


may, in its sole discretion, invest amounts so paid in an interest bearing
account designated by Trustor, subject to the prior written approval of
Beneficiary, for the benefit of Trustor. Upon the occurrence of a Remedies
Event, Beneficiary shall have the right, at its election, to apply any amount so
held against the Secured Obligations due and payable in such order as
Beneficiary may deem fit, and Trustor hereby grants to Beneficiary a lien upon
and security interest in such amounts for such purpose. At Beneficiary's option,
Beneficiary from time to time may waive, and after any such waiver may
reinstate, the provisions of this Section 8.1. In the event the interest of
Trustor in the Deed of Trust Property is sold or otherwise transferred,
voluntarily or involuntarily, then all of the interest of Trustor in and to the
Escrow Charges shall vest in the successor to the interest of Trustor in the
Deed of Trust Property; subject, nevertheless, to the rights of Beneficiary
hereunder.



         8.2 Beneficiary's Right to Protect Security. Beneficiary is hereby
authorized to do any one or more of the following irrespective of whether a
Remedies Event has occurred, but only after written notice from Beneficiary to
Trustor specifying the nature of the actions to be taken by Beneficiary: (a)
appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security
hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary hereunder; (b) subject to
Trustor's rights under Section 2.3(c), take such action as Beneficiary may
determine to pay, perform or comply with any Impositions or Legal Requirements,
to cure any Remedies Events and to protect its security in the Deed of Trust
Property, including the recordation or filing of financing statements and other
documents to further assure the enforceability or priority of Beneficiary's
liens and security interests, advance sums on behalf of Trustor to pay, perform
or comply with any Imposition, Legal Requirement, prohibited lien, claims, costs
and expenses in connection with the Deed of Trust Property, including payment
for utilities, fuel or any other necessary maintenance expenses, fees, insurance
and repairs; and for the purpose of exercising any such powers and all other
rights and powers granted by this Deed of Trust to Beneficiary, Beneficiary is
hereby appointed attorney-in-fact for Trustor. All sums paid by or otherwise
owing to Beneficiary under this Section shall be paid by Trustor to Beneficiary
on demand, and until paid such sums shall be added to the principal secured
hereby, shall be included as part of the Secured Obligations and shall bear
interest at the Default Rate from the date of demand.



         8.3 Beneficiary's Costs and Expenses. In the event of a Remedies Event
or the exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights hereunder, or if Beneficiary
shall become a party, either as plaintiff or defendant or otherwise, to any suit
or legal proceeding affecting any of the Deed of Trust Property or the Secured
Obligations, or if review and approval of any document, or any other matter
related to any of the Secured Obligations, is required by, or requested of,
Beneficiary, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary on demand its reasonable costs,
expenses and attorneys fees incurred in connection therewith. If such amounts
are not paid, they shall be added to the principal secured hereby, shall be
included as part of the Secured Obligations and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate from the date of demand.


<PAGE>


         8.4 Security Agreement Under Uniform Commercial Code. This Deed of
Trust is a Security Agreement as defined in the Virginia Uniform Commercial
Code. Notwithstanding the filing of a financing statement covering any of the
Deed of Trust Property in the records normally pertaining to personal property,
at Beneficiary's option all of the Deed of Trust Property, for all purposes and
in all proceedings, legal or equitable, shall be regarded (to the extent
permitted by law), as part of the Realty, whether or not any such item is
physically attached to the Realty or Improvements. The mention in any such
financing statement of any of the Deed of Trust Property shall not be construed
as in any way altering any of the rights of Beneficiary or adversely affecting
the priority of the lien granted hereby or by any other Loan Document, but such
mention in the financing statement is hereby declared to be for the protection
of Beneficiary in the event any court shall at any time hold that notice of
Beneficiary's priority of interest, to be effective against any third party,
must be filed in the Virginia Uniform Commercial Code records. This Deed of
Trust constitutes a fixture filing under the Virginia Uniform Commercial Code.



         8.5 Assignment of Loan Documents; Estoppel Certificates. Subject to the
terms of the Loan Agreements, Trustor agrees that nothing herein shall be deemed
to prohibit the assignment or negotiation, with or without recourse, of any of
the Loan Documents or any interest of Beneficiary therein, or the assignment of
this Deed of Trust. Trustor further agrees that, if requested by Beneficiary,
Trustor shall certify to the assignee of this Deed of Trust, to Beneficiary, and
to such other persons as Beneficiary may request from time to time that this
Deed of Trust is in full force and effect, the amount or amounts of the Secured
Obligations, the terms of the Loan Documents, whether any offsets, claims,
counterclaims or defenses exist with respect to the payment of the Secured
Obligations or the performance of the Loan Documents and such other matters in
connection with the indebtedness secured hereby or any of the collateral for
such indebtedness as Beneficiary or any assignee may reasonably require.



         8.6 Waivers by Trustor. Trustor, to the extent permitted by Law, hereby
waives all errors and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Beneficiary
under any of the Loan Documents and all benefit of any present or future statute
of limitation or repose, or moratorium law, or any other present or future Law,
regulation or judicial decision which (a) exempts any of the Deed of Trust
Property or any other property, real or personal, or any part of the proceeds
arising from any sale thereof from attachment, levy or sale under execution, (b)
provides for any stay of execution, marshalling of assets, exemption from civil
process, redemption, extension of time for payment or valuation or appraisement
of any of the Deed of Trust Property, or (c) conflicts with any provision of any
of the Loan Documents.



         8.7 Payment of Fees. The Trustor will pay all filing, registration and
recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution,
acknowledgment, filing and recording of this Deed of Trust, any financing
statements, releases, continuation statements, and any instruments of further
assurance and all federal, state, county and municipal stamp taxes and



<PAGE>

other taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and the other
Loan Documents.



         8.8 Further Assurances. Trustor agrees to execute such further
assurances, documents and instruments as may be reasonably requested by
Beneficiary for the purposes of further evidencing, carrying out and/or
confirming this Deed of Trust and for all other purposes intended by this Deed
of Trust.



         8.9 Subordination to Leases. At the option of Beneficiary, this Deed of
Trust shall become subject and subordinate, in whole or in part, (but not with
respect to the priority of entitlement to insurance proceeds or any award in
condemnation or with respect to any option to purchase) to any and all Leases,
upon the execution by Beneficiary and recording thereof, at any time hereafter,
in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court in and for the county wherein
the Realty is situate, of a unilateral declaration to that effect.



         8.10 Subrogation. If the proceeds of any loan or other credit extended
by Beneficiary, the repayment of which is hereby secured, is used directly or
indirectly to pay off, discharge or satisfy, in whole or in part, any prior lien
or encumbrance upon the Deed of Trust Property or any part thereof, then
Beneficiary shall be subrogated to any additional security held by the holder of
such lien or encumbrance.



         8.11 Restatement of Representations and Warranties. Each representation
or warranty made by Trustor in this Deed of Trust or in any other Loan Document
or certificate related thereto shall be deemed to be restated as of the date of
each advance made or credit extended by Beneficiary constituting a Secured
Obligation.


<PAGE>



         8.12 Acceleration. In order to accelerate the maturity of the
indebtedness hereby secured because of the failure of Trustor to pay any tax
assessment, liability, obligation or encumbrance upon the Deed of Trust Property
as herein provided, it shall not be necessary that Beneficiary shall first pay
the same.



                            9. OBLIGATIONS OF TRUSTEE



                  (a) Trustee, by its acceptance hereof, covenants faithfully to
perform and fulfill the trusts herein created, being liable, however, only for
gross negligence or willful misconduct, and hereby waives any statutory fee and
agrees to accept reasonable compensation, in lieu thereof, for any services
rendered by it in accordance with the terms hereof.



                  (b) In the event of Trustee's death, removal, resignation,
refusal to act, or inability to act or, in the sole discretion of Beneficiary
for any reason whatsoever, Beneficiary may, at any time or from time to time
without notice and without specifying any reason therefor and without applying
to any court, select and appoint a successor trustee, and all powers, rights,
duties and authority of Trustee, as aforesaid, shall thereupon become vested in
such successor without conveyance from the predecessor trustee. Such substitute
trustee shall not be required to give bond for the faithful performance of these
duties unless required by Beneficiary. Such substitute trustee shall be
appointed by written instrument duly recorded in the county where the Land is
located, which appointment may be executed by an authorized agent of Beneficiary
and if Beneficiary is a business trust or corporation, such appointment shall be
conclusively presumed to have been executed with authority and shall be valid
and sufficient without proof of any action by the Board of Trustees or Board of
Directors or any superior officer of the business trust or corporation. Trustor
hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the herein-named Trustee, or
its successor or successors in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof.
Trustor hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and of its heirs, executors,
administrators and assigns, that the recitals contained in any deed or deeds
executed in due form by Trustee or any substitute trustee, acting under the
provisions of this Deed of Trust, shall be prima facie evidence of the facts
recited, and that it shall not be necessary to prove in any court, otherwise
than by such recitals, the existence of the facts essential to authorize the
execution and delivery of such deed or deeds and the passing of title thereby.
In the event that two or more trustees are named herein, any one or more of the
trustees shall be clothed with the full power to act when action hereunder is
required.

<PAGE>


Documents. Nothing contained herein, nor any collection of Rents by Assignee or
by a receiver, shall be construed to make Assignee a "mortgagee-in-possession"
of the Premises so long as Assignee has not itself entered into actual
possession of the Premises.

         3. Upon the occurrence of a Remedies Event (as defined in the
Construction Loan Agreement), this Assignment shall constitute an irrevocable
direction to and full authority to each lessee and sublessee under any Leases to
pay all Rents to Assignee without proof of the default relied upon. Assignor
hereby irrevocably authorizes each lessee, sublessee, guarantor, person and
entity to rely upon and comply with any notice or demand by Assignee for the
payment to Assignee of any Rents due or to become due.

         4. Assignor represents and warrants that:

                  (a) the terms of each Major Lease have been fully disclosed to
and approved by Assignee, and each Major Lease is in full force and effect;

                  (b) no Lease or any interest therein has been previously
assigned or pledged;

                  (c) no lessee or sublessee under any Major Lease has any
defense, setoff or counterclaim against Assignor; and

                  (d) no Rents have been collected more than one (1) month in
advance.

         All the foregoing warranties shall be deemed to be continuously
reaffirmed until all Obligations shall have been paid in full.

         5. Assignor covenants and agrees that:

                  (a) If a Lease provides for a security deposit paid by the
lessee or sublessee, this Assignment transfers to Assignee, to the extent
permitted by Law, all of Assignor's right, title and interest in and to the
security deposit, provided that Assignor shall have the right to retain said
security deposit so long as Assignor is not in default under the Loan Documents
and provided further that Assignee shall have no obligation to the lessee or
sublessee with respect to such security deposit, unless and until Assignee comes
into actual possession and control of said deposit.

                  (b) Except as otherwise may be permitted by the Deed of Trust,
Assignor shall not terminate any Major Lease (except pursuant to the terms of
the Lease upon a default by the lessee or sublessee) or modify or amend any
Major Lease or any of the terms thereof or grant any concessions in connection
therewith or accept a surrender thereof without the prior written consent of
Assignee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

                  (c) Assignor shall not collect any Rents more than one (1)
month in advance.

                  (d) Assignor shall not discount any future accruing Rents.


<PAGE>


                  (e) Assignor shall not consent to any assignment of any Major
Lease or any subletting thereunder, whether or not in accordance with its terms,
without the prior written consent of Assignee, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

                  (f) Assignor shall not execute any further pledge or
assignment of its interest in any of the Leases or Rents or suffer or permit any
such assignment to occur by operation of law.

         6. Assignor shall faithfully perform and discharge all obligations of
the lessor under the Leases and shall give prompt written notice to Assignee of
any notice of Assignor's default received from any lessee or sublessee or any
other person with respect to any Major Lease and furnish Assignee with a
complete copy of said notice. Assignor shall appear in and defend, at no cost to
Assignee, any action or proceeding arising under or in any manner connected with
any Lease. If requested by Assignee, Assignor shall take commercially reasonable
actions to enforce each Major Lease against the lessee or sublessee in the case
of default under the Major Lease by the lessee or sublessee.

         7. Except as otherwise may be permitted by the Deed of Trust, Assignor
shall not enter into any Major Lease without Assignee's written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Assignor shall promptly
provide to Assignee a true and correct copy of each executed Major Lease.

         8. With respect to Major Leases covering more than five hundred (500)
square feet of rentable space, Assignor shall deliver to Assignee, promptly upon
request, but, absent the existence of a Remedies Event, not more often than once
per calendar year, duly executed estoppel certificates from any one or more
lessees or sublessees as required by Assignee attesting to such facts regarding
the Leases as Assignee may reasonably require, including, but not limited to,
attestations that each Major Lease covered thereby is in full force and effect,
that the lessee or sublessee is in occupancy and paying rent on a current basis
with no rental offsets or claims, that no rental has been paid more than one (1)
month in advance, and that there are no actions, whether voluntary or otherwise,
pending against the lessee or sublessee, as the case may be, under the
bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States or any state thereof.

         9. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to impose any liability
or obligation on Assignee under or with respect to any Lease. Assignor shall
indemnify and hold Assignee harmless from and against any and all liabilities,
losses, damages, cost and expense which Assignee may incur under any Lease or by
reason of this Agreement and from and against any and all claims and demands
whatsoever which may be asserted against Assignee by reason of any alleged
obligations to be performed or discharged by Assignee under any Lease or this
Assignment, provided that the foregoing indemnification shall not be applicable
to any claims and demands which shall arise with respect to events occurring
after Assignee has acquired title to the Premises. Should Assignee incur any
liability, loss, damage, cost or expense under or by reason of any Lease or
under or by reason of this Assignment, Assignor shall immediately upon demand
reimburse Assignee for the amount thereof together with all costs, expenses and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Assignee. All of the foregoing sums shall
bear interest



<PAGE>


until paid at the Default Rate set forth in the Loan Agreements. Any Rents
collected by Assignee may be applied by Assignee, in its discretion, in
satisfaction of any such liability, loss, damage, cost or expense.

         10. Assignor hereby grants to Assignee the following rights:

                  (a) Assignee shall be deemed to be the creditor of each lessee
or sublessee, as the case may be, in respect of any assignments for the benefit
of creditors and any bankruptcy, arrangement, reorganization, insolvency,
dissolution, receivership or other debtor-relief proceedings affecting such
lessee (without obligation on the part of Assignee, however, to file timely
claims in such proceedings or otherwise pursue creditor's rights therein).

                  (b) Assignee shall have the right to assign Assignee's right,
title and interest in the Leases to any subsequent holder of the Deed of Trust
or any replacement or renewal thereof or any participating interest therein or
to any person acquiring title to all or any part of the Premises through
foreclosure or otherwise. Any subsequent assignee shall have all the rights and
powers herein provided to Assignee.

                  (c) Assignee shall have the right (but not the obligation),
upon any failure of Assignor to perform any of its agreements hereunder, to take
any action as Assignee may deem necessary or appropriate to protect its
security, including, but not limited to, appearing in any action or proceeding
and performing any obligations of the lessor under any Lease, and Assignor
agrees to pay, on demand, all costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Assignee in connection therewith,
together with interest thereon at the Default Rate set forth in the Loan
Agreements.

                  (d) Upon a Remedies Event as aforesaid and without notice to
or consent of Assignor, Assignee shall have the following rights (none of which
shall be construed to be obligations of Assignee):

                  (i)    Assignee shall have the right to apply any of the Rents
                         to pay installments due for personal property rented or
                         purchased on credit, insurance premiums on personal
                         property, or other charges relating to personal
                         property on the Premises, provided, however, that this
                         Assignment shall not make Assignee responsible for the
                         control, care, management or repair of the Premises or
                         any personal property or for the carrying out of any of
                         the terms or provisions of the Leases;

                  (ii)   Assignee shall have the right to apply the Rents and
                         any sums recovered by Assignee pursuant hereto to
                         outstanding Obligations and to all other charges for
                         taxes, insurance, improvements, maintenance and other
                         items relating to the Premises, all in such order as
                         Assignee shall, in its discretion, determine and
                         whether or not the same be then due;

                  (iii)  Assignee shall have the right to execute new Leases;

                  (iv)   Assignee shall have the right to cancel or alter any
                         existing Leases;


<PAGE>


                  (v)    Assignee shall have the authority, as Assignor's
                         attorney-in-fact, such authority being coupled with an
                         interest and irrevocable, to sign the name of Assignor
                         and to bind Assignor on all papers and documents
                         relating to the operation, leasing and maintenance of
                         the Premises.

                  All of the foregoing rights and remedies of Assignee are
cumulative and Assignee shall also have, upon the occurrence of any such default
or Remedies Event, all other rights and remedies provided under the other Loan
Documents and any other agreement between Assignor and Assignee or otherwise
available at law or in equity or by statute.

         11. This Assignment is intended to be supplementary to and not in
substitution for or in derogation of any assignment of rents contained in the
Deed of Trust or in any other document executed in connection with this
transaction.

         12. Assignee may take or release other security, may release any party
primarily or secondarily liable for any Obligations secured hereby, may grant
extensions, renewals or indulgences with respect to such Obligations, may amend,
modify or cancel all or any of the terms of the Obligations, and may apply any
other security therefor held by Assignee to the satisfaction of such Obligations
without prejudice to any of Assignee's rights hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents. The rights of Assignee to collect the Obligations and to enforce any
other security therefor held by Assignee may be exercised by Assignee either
prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any action by Assignee
hereunder. The failure of Assignee to avail itself of any of the terms,
covenants and conditions hereof shall not be construed or deemed to be a waiver
of any rights or remedies hereunder. Assignee shall have the full right, power
and authority to enforce this Assignment or any of the terms, covenants or
conditions hereof, at any time or times that Assignee shall deem fit.

         13. Any change, amendment, modification, abridgement, cancellation, or
discharge of this Assignment or any term or provision hereof not permitted
hereby shall be invalid without the written consent of Assignee.

         14. Upon payment to Assignee of the full amount of all Obligations,
this Assignment shall be void and of no further effect. Upon such payment and if
requested by Assignor, Assignee shall promptly execute and deliver to Assignor a
release of this Assignment in recordable form.

         15. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon
Assignor, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Assignee
and its successors and assigns.

         16. Notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be deemed
to have been given when sent in accordance with the terms of the Construction
Loan Agreement.

         17. If any provision hereof is determined to be illegal or
unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions hereof shall not be
affected thereby.

         18. This Assignment shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

                      AGREEMENT OF GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP
                                  (COMPLETION)

                             (STANSLEY RACING CORP.)


         THIS AGREEMENT OF GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP (COMPLETION) (this
"Agreement") is made as of the 26th day of June, 1997 by STANSLEY RACING CORP.,
a Virginia corporation ("Guarantor"), to and for the benefit of PNC BANK,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association ("Lender").

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, as more fully set forth in a certain Construction Loan
Agreement (the "Construction Loan Agreement") of even date herewith by and
between Lender and Colonial Downs, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership, (the
"Borrower"), Lender has agreed to make a construction loan (the "Construction
Loan") to Borrower in the principal amount of $10,000,000;

         WHEREAS, as more fully set forth in a certain Revolving Line of Credit
Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") of even date herewith between Borrower and
Lender, Lender has agreed to make a revolving line of credit (the "Line of
Credit") available to Borrower in a maximum principal amount not to exceed
$5,000,000 (the Construction Loan Agreement and the Credit Agreement are
sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Loan Agreements"); and

         WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition
precedent to Lender's making of the Construction Loan and the Line of Credit
(the Construction Loan and the Line of Credit are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Loans").

         NOW, THEREFORE, to induce Lender to make the Loans and for other good
and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and
intending to be legally bound, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

         1. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Construction Loan Agreement.

         2. (a) Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees and becomes surety
as though it were a primary obligor of all of the following (hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Guaranteed Obligations"):


<PAGE>


                  (i)    Borrower shall construct and complete the Improvements
                         in accordance with the Construction Loan Agreement and
                         the Plans on or before the Completion Date, and shall
                         pay all costs and expenses and shall pay, perform and
                         discharge all liabilities and obligations contained in
                         the Construction Loan Agreement with respect to the
                         construction and completion of the Improvements;

                  (ii)   Borrower shall at all times keep the Deed of Trust
                         Property (as defined in the Deed of Trust and Security
                         Agreement of even date herewith from Borrower and
                         Guarantor to Lawyers Title Realty Services, Inc., a
                         Virginia corporation, as Trustee for the benefit of
                         Lender, [the "Deed of Trust"]) free and clear of all
                         Liens and claims which may arise from or in any way
                         relate to the construction and completion of the
                         Improvements, including, without limitation, liens and
                         claims of any and all persons and entities performing
                         labor or furnishing materials, or both, with respect to
                         the Improvements; and

                  (iii)  Borrower shall promptly discharge all other
                         obligations, liabilities, costs and expenses relating
                         to the construction and completion of the Improvements.

                  (b) If Borrower does not do the matters specified in Paragraph
2 hereof on or before the times such matters are to be done by Borrower,
Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably covenants and agrees that he shall at
his sole cost and expense:

                  (i)    construct and complete the Improvements on or before
                         the times required by, and otherwise in accordance
                         with, the Construction Loan Agreement and the Plans,
                         and pay all costs and expenses and discharge all
                         liabilities with respect to such construction and
                         completion;

                  (ii)   remove all Liens and satisfy all claims which may arise
                         from or in any way relate to the construction or
                         completion of the Improvements, including, without
                         limitation, the liens and claims of any and all persons
                         and entities performing labor or furnishing materials,
                         or both, with respect to the Improvements;

                  (iii)  discharge the obligations, liabilities, costs and
                         expenses referred to in Paragraphs 2(a)(i) and
                         2(a)(ii); and

                  (iv)   pay all other costs and expenses related to the
                         construction and completion of the Improvements,
                         including all expenses incurred by or on behalf of
                         Lender and all monies advanced by Lender, at its
                         option, to secure, protect, partially complete or fully
                         complete the Improvements.

         3. Lender shall have and may exercise, in addition to all other rights,
privileges or remedies available to it hereunder and by Law, the specific rights
and remedies, exercisable by Lender in its discretion, to sue for and obtain
specific performance by Guarantor of Guarantor's covenants set forth herein, all
at the sole cost of Guarantor.

         4. In the event of any default by Guarantor hereunder, Guarantor shall
indemnify and defend Lender against and hold Lender harmless from all liability,
damage, cost and expense,



<PAGE>


including costs of suit and attorneys' fees, which Lender may incur by reason of
such default by Guarantor.

         5. Lender may, at its option, proceed to enforce this Agreement against
Guarantor in the first instance without first proceeding against Borrower or any
other person and without first resorting to any security held by Lender as
security or to any other remedies, and the liability of Guarantor hereunder
shall be in no manner affected or impaired by any failure, delay, neglect,
omission or election by Lender not to realize upon or pursue any persons or
security liable for the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Deed of Trust) or
the other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Agreements or other Loan
Documents.

         6. Lender, from time to time and before or after any Event of Default
by Borrower under the Loan Agreements and with or without further notice to or
assent from Guarantor and without in any manner affecting the liability of
Guarantor and upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable, may: (a)
extend in whole or in part (by renewal or otherwise), modify, accelerate, change
or release (or consent to any of the foregoing) the Loan Documents and any other
agreements, documents or instruments in any way related to the Guaranteed
Obligations and any other indebtedness, liability or obligation of Borrower or
of any other person secondarily or otherwise liable for any such indebtedness,
liability or obligation of Borrower, or waive any default with respect thereto;
(b) sell, release, surrender, modify, impair, exchange, substitute or extend any
and all security at any time held by Lender as security for the payment or
performance of the Secured Obligations and any other indebtedness, liability or
obligation of Borrower to Lender; and (c) settle, adjust or compromise any claim
of Lender against Borrower or any other person secondarily or otherwise liable
for the Secured Obligations or Guaranteed Obligations or any other indebtedness,
liability or obligation of Borrower. Guarantor hereby ratifies and confirms any
such extension, renewal, change, release, waiver, surrender, exchange,
modification, impairment, substitution, settlement, adjustment, compromise or
consent and agrees that the same shall be binding upon Guarantor, and Guarantor
hereby expressly waives any and all defenses, counterclaims or offsets which
Guarantor might or could have by reason thereof, it being understood that
Guarantor shall at all times be bound by this Agreement and remain liable to
Lender hereunder until all of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall have
been performed in full. Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall
not be discharged, limited or otherwise affected by any circumstances which
otherwise would constitute an equitable discharge of Guarantor as surety or
guarantor.

         7. Lender may, without the consent of Guarantor, at any time and from
time to time, (a) agree with Borrower to amend any provisions of the Loan
Agreements, any other Loan Documents and any other agreements, instruments or
documents relating in any way to the Secured Obligations, including any change
in the interest rate therein, any change in the time or manner of payment
thereunder and any change in the obligations to be performed thereunder, (b)
make any agreement with Borrower for the extension, renewal, modification,
payment, compounding, compromise, discharge, exchange, settlement, waiver or
release of any provision of the Loan Agreements, Loan Documents and any other
agreements, documents or instruments relating in any way to the Secured
Obligations, or of any person liable for or any security for the performance of
any of the Secured Obligations or Guaranteed Obligations, without notice to or
the consent of Guarantor, and (c) without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, surrender to



<PAGE>


Borrower, or deal with or modify the form of, any security which Lender may at
any time hold to secure the performance of any of the Secured Obligations or
Guaranteed Obligations, and the obligations herein undertaken by Guarantor shall
not be impaired or affected by any of the foregoing, but shall include any other
obligations thereby undertaken by the Borrower.

         8. Guarantor hereby waives all requirements that Lender shall institute
any action or proceedings at law or in equity against Borrower or anyone else or
with respect to any other security held by Lender as a condition precedent to
bringing an action against Guarantor upon this Agreement, and Guarantor further
agrees to make and perform his obligations hereunder whether or not any one or
more of the following events have occurred: (a) Lender has made any demand on
Borrower; (b) Lender has taken any action of any nature against or has pursued
any rights which Lender has against any other person, partnership, corporation,
association or entity who may be liable for performance of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (c) Lender holds or has resorted to any security for the Secured
Obligations or Guaranteed Obligations; or (d) Lender has invoked any other
remedies or rights Lender has available with respect to the Secured Obligations
or the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor's obligations hereunder as guarantor
and surety are unconditional, and Guarantor agrees to perform the same even if
the Loan Agreements, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or
instrument relating in any way to the Secured Obligations or Guaranteed
Obligations is for any reason invalid or unenforceable. All remedies afforded to
Lender by reason of this Agreement are separate and cumulative remedies, and
none of such remedies, whether exercised by the Lender or not, shall be deemed
to be in exclusion of any one of the other remedies available to Lender, and
shall not in any way limit or prejudice any other legal or equitable remedy
available to Lender.

         9. Guarantor shall not be released by any act or thing which might, but

                         (COLONIAL DOWNS HOLDINGS, INC.)


         THIS AGREEMENT OF GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP (COMPLETION) (this
"Agreement") is made as of the 26th day of June, 1997 by COLONIAL DOWNS
HOLDINGS, INC., a Virginia corporation ("Guarantor"), to and for the benefit of
PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association ("Lender").

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, as more fully set forth in a certain Construction Loan
Agreement (the "Construction Loan Agreement") of even date herewith by and
between Lender and Colonial Downs, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership, (the
"Borrower"), Lender has agreed to make a construction loan (the "Construction
Loan") to Borrower in the principal amount of $10,000,000;

         WHEREAS, as more fully set forth in a certain Revolving Line of Credit
Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") of even date herewith between Borrower and
Lender, Lender has agreed to make a revolving line of credit (the "Line of
Credit") available to Borrower in a maximum principal amount not to exceed
$5,000,000 (the Construction Loan Agreement and the Credit Agreement are
sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Loan Agreements"); and

         WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition
precedent to Lender's making of the Construction Loan and the Line of Credit
(the Construction Loan and the Line of Credit are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Loans").

         NOW, THEREFORE, to induce Lender to make the Loans and for other good
and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and
intending to be legally bound, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

         1. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Construction Loan Agreement.

         2. (a) Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees and becomes surety
as though it were a primary obligor of all of the following (hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Guaranteed Obligations"):


<PAGE>


                  (i)    Borrower shall construct and complete the Improvements
                         in accordance with the Construction Loan Agreement and
                         the Plans on or before the Completion Date, and shall
                         pay all costs and expenses and shall pay, perform and
                         discharge all liabilities and obligations contained in
                         the Construction Loan Agreement with respect to the
                         construction and completion of the Improvements;

                  (ii)   Borrower shall at all times keep the Deed of Trust
                         Property (as defined in the Deed of Trust and Security
                         Agreement of even date herewith from Borrower and
                         Guarantor to Lawyers Title Realty Services, Inc., a
                         Virginia corporation, as Trustee for the benefit of
                         Lender, [the "Deed of Trust"]) free and clear of all
                         Liens and claims which may arise from or in any way
                         relate to the construction and completion of the
                         Improvements, including, without limitation, liens and
                         claims of any and all persons and entities performing
                         labor or furnishing materials, or both, with respect to
                         the Improvements; and

                  (iii)  Borrower shall promptly discharge all other
                         obligations, liabilities, costs and expenses relating
                         to the construction and completion of the Improvements.

                  (b) If Borrower does not do the matters specified in Paragraph
2 hereof on or before the times such matters are to be done by Borrower,
Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably covenants and agrees that he shall at
his sole cost and expense:

                  (i)    construct and complete the Improvements on or before
                         the times required by, and otherwise in accordance
                         with, the Construction Loan Agreement and the Plans,
                         and pay all costs and expenses and discharge all
                         liabilities with respect to such construction and
                         completion;

                  (ii)   remove all Liens and satisfy all claims which may arise
                         from or in any way relate to the construction or
                         completion of the Improvements, including, without
                         limitation, the liens and claims of any and all persons
                         and entities performing labor or furnishing materials,
                         or both, with respect to the Improvements;

                  (iii)  discharge the obligations, liabilities, costs and
                         expenses referred to in Paragraphs 2(a)(i) and
                         2(a)(ii); and

                  (iv)   pay all other costs and expenses related to the
                         construction and completion of the Improvements,
                         including all expenses incurred by or on behalf of
                         Lender and all monies advanced by Lender, at its
                         option, to secure, protect, partially complete or fully
                         complete the Improvements.

         3. Lender shall have and may exercise, in addition to all other rights,
privileges or remedies available to it hereunder and by Law, the specific rights
and remedies, exercisable by Lender in its discretion, to sue for and obtain
specific performance by Guarantor of Guarantor's covenants set forth herein, all
at the sole cost of Guarantor.

         4. In the event of any default by Guarantor hereunder, Guarantor shall
indemnify and defend Lender against and hold Lender harmless from all liability,
damage, cost and expense,



<PAGE>


including costs of suit and attorneys' fees, which Lender may incur by reason of
such default by Guarantor.

         5. Lender may, at its option, proceed to enforce this Agreement against
Guarantor in the first instance without first proceeding against Borrower or any
other person and without first resorting to any security held by Lender as
security or to any other remedies, and the liability of Guarantor hereunder
shall be in no manner affected or impaired by any failure, delay, neglect,
omission or election by Lender not to realize upon or pursue any persons or
security liable for the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Deed of Trust) or
the other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Agreements or other Loan
Documents.

         6. Lender, from time to time and before or after any Event of Default
by Borrower under the Loan Agreements and with or without further notice to or
assent from Guarantor and without in any manner affecting the liability of
Guarantor and upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable, may: (a)
extend in whole or in part (by renewal or otherwise), modify, accelerate, change
or release (or consent to any of the foregoing) the Loan Documents and any other
agreements, documents or instruments in any way related to the Guaranteed
Obligations and any other indebtedness, liability or obligation of Borrower or
of any other person secondarily or otherwise liable for any such indebtedness,
liability or obligation of Borrower, or waive any default with respect thereto;
(b) sell, release, surrender, modify, impair, exchange, substitute or extend any
and all security at any time held by Lender as security for the payment or
performance of the Secured Obligations and any other indebtedness, liability or
obligation of Borrower to Lender; and (c) settle, adjust or compromise any claim
of Lender against Borrower or any other person secondarily or otherwise liable
for the Secured Obligations or Guaranteed Obligations or any other indebtedness,
liability or obligation of Borrower. Guarantor hereby ratifies and confirms any
such extension, renewal, change, release, waiver, surrender, exchange,
modification, impairment, substitution, settlement, adjustment, compromise or
consent and agrees that the same shall be binding upon Guarantor, and Guarantor
hereby expressly waives any and all defenses, counterclaims or offsets which
Guarantor might or could have by reason thereof, it being understood that
Guarantor shall at all times be bound by this Agreement and remain liable to
Lender hereunder until all of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall have
been performed in full. Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall
not be discharged, limited or otherwise affected by any circumstances which
otherwise would constitute an equitable discharge of Guarantor as surety or
guarantor.

         7. Lender may, without the consent of Guarantor, at any time and from
time to time, (a) agree with Borrower to amend any provisions of the Loan
Agreements, any other Loan Documents and any other agreements, instruments or
documents relating in any way to the Secured Obligations, including any change
in the interest rate therein, any change in the time or manner of payment
thereunder and any change in the obligations to be performed thereunder, (b)
make any agreement with Borrower for the extension, renewal, modification,
payment, compounding, compromise, discharge, exchange, settlement, waiver or
release of any provision of the Loan Agreements, Loan Documents and any other
agreements, documents or instruments relating in any way to the Secured
Obligations, or of any person liable for or any security for the performance of
any of the Secured Obligations or Guaranteed Obligations, without notice to or
the consent of Guarantor, and (c) without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, surrender to



<PAGE>


Borrower, or deal with or modify the form of, any security which Lender may at
any time hold to secure the performance of any of the Secured Obligations or
Guaranteed Obligations, and the obligations herein undertaken by Guarantor shall
not be impaired or affected by any of the foregoing, but shall include any other
obligations thereby undertaken by the Borrower.

         8. Guarantor hereby waives all requirements that Lender shall institute
any action or proceedings at law or in equity against Borrower or anyone else or
with respect to any other security held by Lender as a condition precedent to
bringing an action against Guarantor upon this Agreement, and Guarantor further
agrees to make and perform his obligations hereunder whether or not any one or
more of the following events have occurred: (a) Lender has made any demand on
Borrower; (b) Lender has taken any action of any nature against or has pursued
any rights which Lender has against any other person, partnership, corporation,
association or entity who may be liable for performance of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (c) Lender holds or has resorted to any security for the Secured
Obligations or Guaranteed Obligations; or (d) Lender has invoked any other
remedies or rights Lender has available with respect to the Secured Obligations
or the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor's obligations hereunder as guarantor
and surety are unconditional, and Guarantor agrees to perform the same even if
the Loan Agreements, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or
instrument relating in any way to the Secured Obligations or Guaranteed
Obligations is for any reason invalid or unenforceable. All remedies afforded to
Lender by reason of this Agreement are separate and cumulative remedies, and
none of such remedies, whether exercised by the Lender or not, shall be deemed
to be in exclusion of any one of the other remedies available to Lender, and
shall not in any way limit or prejudice any other legal or equitable remedy
available to Lender.

         9. Guarantor shall not be released by any act or thing which might, but
for this provision of this Agreement, be deemed to be an equitable discharge of
a surety or guarantor, or by reason of any waiver, extension, modification,
forbearance or delay of Lender or its failure to proceed promptly or otherwise
in the enforcement of the Loan Agreements, any other Loan Document or any other
agreement, document or instrument relating in any way to the Guaranteed
Obligations, and Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to
its liability under this Agreement based upon any of the foregoing acts, things,
agreements or waivers.

         10. Guarantor hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, protest,
notice of protest and of dishonor, notice of acceptance hereof, and all other
notices now or hereafter provided by Law.

         11. Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender that until the
Guaranteed Obligations are performed and paid for in full, Guarantor shall not
sell, assign, give, mortgage, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of a
material portion of his assets for less than adequate consideration.

         12. Guarantor hereby agrees that this instrument contains the entire
agreement between the parties and there is and can be no other oral or written
agreement or understanding whereby the provisions of this instrument have been
or can be affected, varied, waived or modified in any manner unless the same be
set forth in writing and signed by Lender,



<PAGE>


and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given.

         13. This Agreement is and shall be deemed to be a contract entered into
under and pursuant to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and shall be
binding upon Guarantor and its heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns. Guarantor agrees that the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County,
Pennsylvania and the United States District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania shall have nonexclusive jurisdiction and venue with respect to all
actions by or against Guarantor under or pursuant to this Agreement and hereby
consents to the jurisdiction of such courts and to service of process, effective
upon receipt by personal service, overnight express delivery or registered or
certified mail to Guarantor at the address given below Guarantor's signature
hereto. Guarantor shall promptly notify Lender in writing of any change in
Guarantor's address. This Agreement shall not be recorded by either the
Guarantor or Lender.

         14. Guarantor shall not, by reason of the performance of the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, succeed to or be subrogated to the rights and
privileges of Lender against Borrower or be deemed to be the successor or assign
of Lender, unless and until each and every indebtedness, liability and
obligation of Borrower to Lender shall have been fully paid, performed and
discharged.

         15. No delay on the part of Lender in exercising any rights hereunder
or failure to exercise the same shall operate as a waiver of such rights. All of
the rights, powers and remedies hereunder and under any other agreement entered
into between Guarantor and Lender, and notwithstanding whether such rights,
powers and remedies arise by virtue of nonpayment of the indebtedness, liability
and obligations or otherwise, shall be cumulative and not alternative; and such
rights, powers and remedies shall be in addition to all of Lender's rights,
powers and remedies provided by Law.

         16. Guarantor agrees to pay all costs and expenses which may be
incurred by Lender, its successors and assigns in the successful enforcement of
this Agreement or otherwise relating to this Agreement, including, but not
limited to, attorneys' fees through and including the costs of any appeals and
any appellate costs and regardless of whether any specific legal proceedings
shall be commenced in connection therewith.

         17. To the extent disclosed in the opinion letters delivered to Lender
in connection with the Loans, Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that this
Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor,
enforceable against it and its successors and assigns in accordance with its
terms.

         18. This Agreement is irrevocable.

         19. Guarantor waives all exemption rights which it may have under or by
virtue of the Constitution or the Laws of the United States of America or of any
state against this Agreement, any renewal hereof, or any indebtedness or
liability represented hereby.

otherwise have any impact or effect upon, or be affected, limited or modified
by, any other agreement of guaranty or suretyship given by Guarantor with
respect to the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents.

be deemed supplemental to, and not in derogation of, any such agreement of
guaranty or suretyship or any other instrument now or hereafter executed by
Guarantor in favor of Lender.

be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the
remaining provisions shall be in no way affected, prejudiced or disturbed
thereby.

         22. Guarantor recognizes that this Agreement when executed constitutes
a sealed instrument and, as a result, will be enforceable as such without regard
to any statute of limitations which might otherwise be applicable and without
any consideration.

         23. GUARANTOR WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BASED UPON OR RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED TO ANY OF THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY
GUARANTOR, AND GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER LENDER NOR ANY PERSON ACTING
ON BEHALF OF LENDER HAS OR HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. GUARANTOR

ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (the "Lender").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, as more fully set forth in a certain Construction Loan
Agreement (the "Construction Loan Agreement") of even date herewith by and

and Lender, Lender has agreed to make a construction loan (the "Construction
Loan") to Borrower in the principal amount of $10,000,000; and

         WHEREAS, as more fully set forth in a certain Revolving Line of Credit
Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") of even date herewith between Borrower and
Lender, Lender has agreed to make a revolving line of credit (the "Line of
Credit") available to Borrower in a maximum principal amount not to exceed
$5,000,000; and

         WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition
precedent to Lender's making of the Construction Loan and extending the Line of
Credit (the Construction Loan and the Line of Credit are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Loans").

         NOW, THEREFORE, to induce the Lender to make the Loans and for other
good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and
intending to be legally bound hereby, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees as
follows:

         1. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreements (as
hereinafter defined).

         2. Guarantor unconditionally guarantees and becomes surety for the full

<PAGE>


                  (i)    all principal, interest and other sums due or to become
                         due under that certain Deed of Trust Note, of even date
                         herewith, given by Borrower to Lender in the principal
                         amount of $10,000,000, as the same may be amended,
                         supplemented, renewed or replaced from time to time
                         (the "Deed of Trust Note"); and

                  (ii)   all principal, interest and other sums due or to become
                         due under that certain Revolving Credit Note of even
                         date herewith, given by Borrower to Lender in a maximum
                         principal amount of $5,000,000, as the same may be
                         amended, supplemented, renewed or replaced from time to
                         time (the "Credit Note") (the Deed of Trust Note and
                         the Credit Note are hereinafter collectively referred
                         to as the "Notes"); and

                  (iii)  the prompt and punctual payment of all sums due or to
                         become due under the Construction Loan Agreement and
                         the Credit Agreement, as the same may be amended,
                         supplemented, renewed, extended or replaced from time
                         to time (collectively, the "Loan Agreements"); and

                  (iv)   all sums now or hereafter to be paid to Borrower under
                         all other agreements, instruments and documents given
                         to Lender to evidence, secure or otherwise support the
                         indebtedness evidenced by the Notes (all such
                         agreements, instruments and documents, including the
                         Notes and the Loan Agreements as the same may be
                         amended, supplemented, renewed or replaced from time to
                         time, being hereinafter referred to as the "Loan
                         Documents").

         3. Guarantor agrees to pay the Guaranteed Obligations immediately when
due, irrespective of whether or not any one or more of the following events have
occurred: (i) Lender has made any demand on Borrower; (ii) Lender has taken any
action of any nature against Borrower; (iii) Lender has pursued any rights which
Lender has against any other person who may be liable for any of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (iv) Lender holds or has resorted to any security for any of the
Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) Lender has invoked any other remedies or rights
Lender has available with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The
liability of Guarantor as surety and guarantor is unconditional. Guarantor
therefore agrees to pay the Guaranteed Obligations even if any of the Loan
Documents, or any part thereof, are for any reason invalid or unenforceable.
Guarantor further agrees to make full payment to Lender even if circumstances
exist which otherwise constitute an equitable discharge of Guarantor as surety
or guarantor.

         4. Guarantor waives and agrees not to enforce any of the rights of
Guarantor against Borrower unless and until Borrower is no longer liable in any
respect to Lender, including, but not limited to: (i) any right of Guarantor to
be subrogated in whole or in part to any right or claim with respect to any of
the Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof to Lender which might
otherwise arise from partial payment or performance by Guarantor to Lender on
account of the Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof; and (ii) any right
of Guarantor to require the marshalling of assets of Borrower which might
otherwise arise from partial payment or performance by Guarantor to Lender on
account of the Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof.


<PAGE>


         5. Guarantor waives any and all notice with respect to: (i) acceptance
by Lender of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents; and (ii) the
provisions of any of the Loan Documents or any other instrument or agreement
relating to the Guaranteed Obligations.

         6. Guarantor waives any presentment, demand, notice of dishonor or
nonpayment, protest, notice of protest and notice of non-payment in connection
with the Guaranteed Obligations.

         7. Guarantor agrees that Lender may do any of the following without
notice to Guarantor and without adversely affecting the validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument
given by Guarantor to Lender in connection with this Agreement or that certain
Agreement of Guaranty and Suretyship (Completion) of even date herewith given by
Guarantor to Lender: (i) release, surrender, exchange, compromise or settle the
Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof; (ii) change, renew or waive the
terms of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof; (iii) change, renew or
waive the terms of any of the Loan Documents or any other note, instrument or
agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, such rights of Lender to
include, without limitation, the right to change the rate of interest charged to
Borrower (in which event the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed also to
include all interest at such changed rate); (iv) grant any extension or
indulgence with respect to the payment or performance of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof; (v) enter into any agreement of forbearance
with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (vi) release,
surrender, exchange or compromise any security held by Lender for any of the
Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) release any person who is a guarantor or surety or
who has agreed to purchase the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; and
(viii) release, surrender, exchange or compromise any security or lien held by
Lender for the liabilities of any person who is guarantor or surety for the
Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. Guarantor agrees that Lender may do
any of the above as Lender deems necessary or advisable, in Lender's sole
discretion, without giving any notice to Guarantor, and that Guarantor will
remain liable for full payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. If at any time all
or any part of any payment theretofore applied by Lender to any of the
liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by Lender for any reason
whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of Borrower), such liability shall, for the purposes of this
Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned,
be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by
Lender, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as
the case may be, as to such liabilities, all as though such application by
Lender had not been made.

         8. Guarantor agrees that no failure on the part of Lender to exercise
any of its rights under this Agreement shall be a waiver of such rights or a
waiver of any default by Guarantor. Guarantor further agrees that no waiver or
modification of any rights of Lender under this Agreement shall be effective
unless in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Lender. Guarantor
further agrees that each written waiver shall extend only to the specific
instance actually recited in such written waiver and shall not impair the rights
of Lender in any other respect.

         9. Guarantor agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in successfully enforcing this Agreement
against Guarantor. Guarantor further agrees to pay all reasonable costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in collecting
or enforcing the Guaranteed Obligations.

         10. [RESERVED]

         11. Guarantor shall furnish quarterly to the Bank a certificate signed
by Guarantor that to the best of its knowledge, Guarantor has kept, observed,
complied with, fulfilled and performed in all material respects every term,
covenant and condition in this Agreement on its part to be kept and performed;
that no Conditional Default or Event of Default exists under this Agreement or
under any unsecured Indebtedness of Guarantor (or if one exists, specifying the
nature thereof); that no event has occurred or is threatened which if continued
would permit the holder of any unsecured Indebtedness of Guarantor to accelerate
the maturity thereof; that no material litigation or administrative proceeding
has been instituted by or against the Guarantor (or, if such should not be the
fact, then the facts and circumstances relating to such event or litigation in
detail) and covering such other matters relating to the Guarantor, the Loan or
the Collateral as the Lender may reasonably require.

         12. [RESERVED]

Completion Guaranty executed by it constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with their
respective terms;

         (d) neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, or the

result in any breach of (i) the terms and conditions of the formation

         (f) except as previously disclosed to the Lender in writing, there is

investigation (or any basis therefor known to Guarantor) which questions the
capacity, ability or authority of Guarantor to execute, deliver and perform the
provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Construction and
Development Documents to which it is a party, or if determined adversely to
Guarantor, would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change;

furnished by Guarantor to the Lender are true and correct in all material
respects and present fairly the financial condition of Guarantor as of the date
of such statements or data. All other information given to the Lender by and

                  (e) shall not permit any final judgment obtained against it in
excess of $50,000 to remain unpaid for a period of thirty (30) days following
the entry thereof without obtaining a stay of execution or bonding or causing
such judgment to be bonded.

         15. Guarantor acknowledges that Lender may, in its sole discretion,
elect to enforce this Agreement for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part
thereof against Guarantor without any duty or responsibility to pursue any other
person or entity, and that such an election by Lender shall not be a defense to
any action Lender may elect to take against Guarantor.

         16. Guarantor agrees that this Agreement shall be binding upon
Guarantor and Guarantor's respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors or assigns and that the death or disability of any person shall in no

successors and assigns. This Agreement shall not be recorded by either the
Guarantor or the Lender.

         20. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in
this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability

                         indebtedness evidenced by the Notes (all such
                         agreements, instruments and documents, including the
                         Notes and the Loan Agreements as the same may be
                         amended, supplemented, renewed or replaced from time to
                         time, being hereinafter referred to as the "Loan
                         Documents").

         3. Guarantor agrees to pay the Guaranteed Obligations immediately when
due, irrespective of whether or not any one or more of the following events have
occurred: (i) Lender has made any demand on Borrower; (ii) Lender has taken any
action of any nature against Borrower; (iii) Lender has pursued any rights which
Lender has against any other person who may be liable for any of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (iv) Lender holds or has resorted to any security for any of the
Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) Lender has invoked any other remedies or rights
Lender has available with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The
liability of Guarantor as surety and guarantor is unconditional. Guarantor
therefore agrees to pay the Guaranteed Obligations even if any of the Loan
Documents, or any part thereof, are for any reason invalid or unenforceable.
Guarantor further agrees to make full payment to Lender even if circumstances
exist which otherwise constitute an equitable discharge of Guarantor as surety
or guarantor.

         4. Guarantor waives and agrees not to enforce any of the rights of
Guarantor against Borrower unless and until Borrower is no longer liable in any
respect to Lender, including, but not limited to: (i) any right of Guarantor to
be subrogated in whole or in part to any right or claim with respect to any of
the Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof to Lender which might
otherwise arise from partial payment or performance by Guarantor to Lender on
account of the Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof; and (ii) any right
of Guarantor to require the marshalling of assets of Borrower which might
otherwise arise from partial payment or performance by Guarantor to Lender on
account of the Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof.

         5. Guarantor waives any and all notice with respect to: (i) acceptance
by Lender of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents; and (ii) the
provisions of any of the Loan Documents or any other instrument or agreement
relating to the Guaranteed Obligations.


<PAGE>


         6. Guarantor waives any presentment, demand, notice of dishonor or
nonpayment, protest, notice of protest and notice of non-payment in connection
with the Guaranteed Obligations.

         7. Guarantor agrees that Lender may do any of the following without
notice to Guarantor and without adversely affecting the validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument
given by Guarantor to Lender in connection with this Agreement or that certain
Agreement of Guaranty and Suretyship (Completion) of even date herewith given by
Guarantor to Lender: (i) release, surrender, exchange, compromise or settle the
Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof; (ii) change, renew or waive the
terms of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof; (iii) change, renew or
waive the terms of any of the Loan Documents or any other note, instrument or
agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, such rights of Lender to
include, without limitation, the right to change the rate of interest charged to
Borrower (in which event the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed also to
include all interest at such changed rate); (iv) grant any extension or
indulgence with respect to the payment or performance of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof; (v) enter into any agreement of forbearance
with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (vi) release,
surrender, exchange or compromise any security held by Lender for any of the
Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) release any person who is a guarantor or surety or
who has agreed to purchase the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; and
(viii) release, surrender, exchange or compromise any security or lien held by
Lender for the liabilities of any person who is guarantor or surety for the
Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. Guarantor agrees that Lender may do
any of the above as Lender deems necessary or advisable, in Lender's sole
discretion, without giving any notice to Guarantor, and that Guarantor will
remain liable for full payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. If at any time all
or any part of any payment theretofore applied by Lender to any of the
liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by Lender for any reason
whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of Borrower), such liability shall, for the purposes of this
Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned,
be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by
Lender, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as
the case may be, as to such liabilities, all as though such application by
Lender had not been made.

         8. Guarantor agrees that no failure on the part of Lender to exercise
any of its rights under this Agreement shall be a waiver of such rights or a
waiver of any default by Guarantor. Guarantor further agrees that no waiver or
modification of any rights of Lender under this Agreement shall be effective
unless in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Lender. Guarantor
further agrees that each written waiver shall extend only to the specific
instance actually recited in such written waiver and shall not impair the rights
of Lender in any other respect.

         9. Guarantor agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in successfully enforcing this Agreement
against Guarantor. Guarantor further agrees to pay all reasonable costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in collecting
or enforcing the Guaranteed Obligations.

to Lender, the financial statements specified on Schedule I attached hereto at
the times specified thereon, which relate to it and its subsidiaries.

         11. Guarantor shall furnish quarterly to the Bank a certificate signed

complied with, fulfilled and performed in all material respects every term,
covenant and condition in this Agreement on its part to be kept and performed;
that no Conditional Default or Event of Default exists under this Agreement or
under any unsecured Indebtedness of Guarantor (or if one exists, specifying the
nature thereof); that no event has occurred or is threatened which if continued
would permit the holder of any unsecured Indebtedness of Guarantor to accelerate
the maturity thereof; that no material litigation or administrative proceeding
has been instituted by or against the Guarantor (or, if such should not be the
fact, then the facts and circumstances relating to such event or litigation in
detail) and covering such other matters relating to the Guarantor, the Loan or
the Collateral as the Lender may reasonably require.

         12. The Guarantor shall comply with all of the financial covenants set
forth on Schedule II attached hereto, provided that, Guarantor shall not be
required to comply with the covenants set forth in (ii) and (iii) of Schedule II
until September 30, 1998.

Completion Guaranty executed by it constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with their
respective terms;

         (d) neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, or the
execution of the Completion Guaranty executed by it, nor the consummation of the
transactions herein or therein

will conflict with, constitute a default under or result in any breach of (i)

(ii) any Governmental Approval, any applicable Law or any material agreement or
instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound;

         (e) Guarantor is not a party to any agreement or instrument that

investigation (or any basis therefor known to Guarantor) which questions the

provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Construction and
Development Documents to which it is a party, or if determined adversely to
Guarantor, would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change;

furnished by Guarantor to the Lender are true and correct in all material
respects and present fairly the financial condition of Guarantor as of the date

the entry thereof without obtaining a stay of execution or bonding or causing
such judgment to be bonded.

         15. Guarantor acknowledges that Lender may, in its sole discretion,
elect to enforce this Agreement for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part
thereof against Guarantor without any duty or responsibility to pursue any other
person or entity, and that such an election by Lender shall not be a defense to
any action Lender may elect to take against Guarantor.
