          In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein set

hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties
hereto hereby covenant and agree as follows:

              -------------

shall mean the power, directly or indirectly, either to (a) vote 10% or more of

                            SECTION 2. THE CREDITS

     2.1  Revolving Credit Loans
          ----------------------

          (a)  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Bank agrees to
make revolving credit loans in Dollars (the "Revolving Credit Loans") to the
                                             ----------------------
Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period, in an aggregate
principal amount at any time outstanding which, when added to the L/C
Obligations then outstanding, does not exceed such the Commitment; provided,
                                                                   --------
that at no time shall the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans
made by the Bank then outstanding plus (y) the L/C Obligations then outstanding
exceed the Commitment. The Commitment may be terminated or reduced from time to
time pursuant to Section 2.10. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may
during the Commitment Period borrow, repay and reborrow under the Commitment,
subject to the terms, provisions and limitations set forth herein.

          (b)  The Revolving Credit Loans may from time to time be (i)
Eurodollar Loans, (ii) Base Rate Loans or (iii) a combination thereof, as
determined by the Borrower and notified to the Bank in accordance with Sections
2.2 and 2.18; provided, that no Loan shall be made as a Eurodollar Loan after
              --------
the date that is one month prior to the Termination Date.

          (c)  The Loan comprising any Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be (i)
with respect to a Base Rate Borrowing, in a minimum aggregate principal amount
of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof or (ii) with respect to a Eurodollar
Borrowing, in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, in either case, an aggregate
principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the available Commitment).

     2.2  Revolving Credit Loan Procedures. In order to request a Revolving
          --------------------------------
Credit Borrowing, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or notify by
telephone and promptly confirm by hand delivery or telecopy) to the Bank the
information requested by the form of Revolving Credit Borrowing Request attached
as Exhibit A hereto (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than
   ---------
12:00 noon, Wilmington time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing and
(b) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Wilmington
time, on the day of a proposed Borrowing. Such notice shall be irrevocable and
shall in each case specify (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to
be a Eurodollar Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing; (ii) the date of such
Revolving Credit Borrowing (which shall be a

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

Business Day); (iii) the principal amount of such Borrowing; and (iv) if such
Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect
thereto. If no election as to the Type of Revolving Credit Borrowing is
specified in any such notice, then the requested Revolving Credit Borrowing
shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any
Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be
deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Borrower and Bank enter into a
separate cash management loan sweep arrangements, Base Rate Borrowings may be
made in accordance with such separate arrangements.

                (a)  Subject to Section 2.4(b), the Bank shall make each
Revolving Credit Loan hereunder on the proposed date by credit of the amount so
lent to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Bank.

                (b)  The Borrower may refinance all or any part of any Borrowing
with any other Borrowing subject to the conditions and limitations set forth
herein and elsewhere in this Agreement. Any Borrowing or part thereof so
refinanced shall be deemed to be repaid in accordance with Section 2.7 with the
proceeds of a new Borrowing hereunder and the proceeds of the new Borrowing, to
the extent they do not exceed the principal amount of the Borrowing being
refinanced, shall not be paid by the Bank to the Borrower.

                (c)  The Bank may at its option fulfill its Commitment hereunder
with respect to any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or
Affiliate of the Bank to make such Loan; provided, however, that any exercise of
                                         --------  -------
such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan
in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Note.

                (d)  All Borrowings, conversions and continuations of Revolving
Credit Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be
in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections that, after giving effect
thereto, (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans comprising each Tranche
of Eurodollar Loans shall be equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000
in excess thereof and (B) the Borrower shall not have outstanding at any one
time more than in the aggregate eight (8) separate Tranches of Loans (including
the Base Rate Tranche).

                (e)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing if the Interest Period
requested with respect thereto would end after the Termination Date.

           2.5  Letters of Credit.
                -----------------

                (a)  L/C Commitment. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions
                     --------------
hereof, the Bank agrees to issue letters of credit (collectively referred to as
the "Letters of Credit") for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day
     -----------------
during the Commitment Period in such form as

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

may be approved from time to time by the Bank; provided, that no Letter of
                                               --------
Credit shall be issued if, after giving effect thereto (A) the amount of the
Exposure would exceed the amount of the Commitment in effect at such time or (B)
the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations at such time would exceed the L/C
Commitment in effect at such time.

                (i)   Each Letter of Credit:

                      (A) shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be a standby
letter of credit; and

                      (B) shall be for the account of the Borrower and for the
benefit of the Borrower and/or the Guarantor;

                      (C) shall have an expiration date no later than the
Termination Date; and

                      (D) may during the Commitment Period be extended at the
sole discretion of the Bank for additional periods of up to one year each (but
in no event to expire later than the Termination Date) upon written request from
the Borrower to the Bank at least 20 days (or such other time period as agreed
by the Borrower and the Bank) before the date upon which notice of extension is
otherwise required by the terms thereof.

                (ii)  Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to ISP98 and, to
the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of Delaware.

          (b)   Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit.  The Borrower may
                -------------------------------------------
from time to time request that the Bank issue a Letter of Credit by delivering
to the Bank at its office for notices specified herein an Application therefor,
completed to the satisfaction of the Bank, and such other certificates,
documents and other papers and information as the Bank may reasonably request.
Upon receipt by the Bank of any Application, the Bank will process such
Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information
delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary
procedures and shall, after determining that issuance of the Letter of Credit
requested thereby will be within the limits imposed by Section 2.5(a)(i), issue
such Letter of Credit not later than ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of
the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other
papers and information relating thereto (but in no event shall the Bank be
required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than five (5) Business Days after
its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates,
documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the
original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may
be agreed by the Bank and the Borrower.  The shall promptly after issuing a
Letter of Credit furnish copies thereof to the Borrower.

          (c)   L/C Fees, Commissions and Other Charges. (ii) The Borrower shall
                ---------------------------------------
pay to the Bank a letter of credit fee with respect to the aggregate face amount
of all Letters of Credit outstanding, computed at the rate of three quarters of
one percent (.75%) (computed on the basis of the actual number of days each
Letter of Credit is outstanding in a year of 360 days). The Borrower shall also
pay to the Bank, in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by the Bank, a

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

fronting fee in an amount equal to exceed $300. The fees described in the
preceding sentences shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C
Payment Date and on the Termination Date or such earlier date as the Commitment
is terminated, and shall be nonrefundable.

               (i)     In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay
or reimburse the Bank for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are
incurred or charged by the Bank in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or
otherwise administering any Letter of Credit, in accordance with the schedule of
such costs attached hereto as Schedule II.
                              -----------

          (d)  [Intentionally Left Blank.]
                ------------------------

          (e)  Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower.  (iii)  The Borrower
               ----------------------------------------
agrees to reimburse the Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit on each date on
which the Bank notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented
under such Letter of Credit and paid or to be paid by the Bank for the amount of
(A) such draft so paid and (B) any taxes, fees, charges or other direct out of
pocket costs or expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with such payment.
Each such payment shall be made to the Bank at its office listed in Section 8.2
in Dollars and in immediately available funds.

               (i)     Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts
remaining unpaid by the Borrower under this subsection from the date such
amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) until payment in full at the per annum rate of the Base Rate Option
plus 2.0% and shall be payable on demand by the Bank.

          (f)  Obligations Absolute. (iv) The obligations of the Borrower under
               --------------------
this Section 2.5 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to
payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the Bank or any
beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person.

               (i)     The Borrower agrees with the Bank that the Bank shall not
be responsible for, and the Borrower's Reimbursement Obligations under Section
2.5(e) shall not be affected by, among other things, (A) the validity or
genuineness of any documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such
documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, provided,
                                                                   --------
that reliance upon such documents by the Bank shall not have constituted gross
negligence or willful misconduct by the Bank or (B) any dispute between or among
the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person to
which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or (C) any claims whatsoever of
the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such
transferee.

               (ii)    The Bank shall not be liable for any error, omission,
interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or
advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for
errors or omissions caused by the Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

               (iii)   The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by
the Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts
or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct,
shall be binding on the Borrower

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

and shall neither result in any liability of the Bank to the Borrower nor
constitute a defense to the Borrower's obligation to reimburse the Bank.

          (g)  Letter of Credit Payments.  If any draft shall be presented for
               -------------------------
payment to the Bank under any Letter of Credit, the Bank shall promptly notify
the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Bank to
the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter
of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in
such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including
each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such
presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

          (h)  Application. To the extent that any provision of any Application
               -----------
related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply.

     2.6  Fees.
          ----

          (a)  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Bank a commitment fee (a
"Commitment Fee") for the period from and including the first day of the
 --------------
Commitment Period to the Termination Date, computed at a rate per annum equal to
1/4%, calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed, on
the average daily amount of the difference between the Commitment of the Bank
and the Exposure during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly
in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on
the Termination Date or such earlier date as the Commitment shall be permanently
reduced or terminated as provided herein, commencing on the first of such dates
to occur after the Effective Date.

          (b)  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Bank a closing fee in the
amount of $137,500, payable on the Effective Date.

          (c)  All fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available
funds, to the Bank. Once paid, none of the fees shall be refundable under any
circumstances.

     2.7  Note; Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans.  The Revolving Credit Loans
          -----------------------------------------
made by the Bank shall be evidenced by a single Note duly executed on behalf of
the Borrower, dated the Effective Date, in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B with the blanks appropriately filled, payable to the Bank in
          ---------
a principal amount equal to the Commitment. The Note shall bear interest from
the date thereof on the outstanding principal balance thereof as set forth in
Section 2.8. The outstanding principal balance of each Revolving Credit Loan, as
evidenced by the Note, shall be payable on the Termination Date. The Borrower
hereby authorizes the Bank to charge any deposit account of the Borrower
maintained with the Bank for any payment when due hereunder or under the Note.

     2.8  Interest on Revolving Credit Loans.
          ----------------------------------

          (a)  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.9, each Base Rate Loan
shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed
over a year of 365

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
minus 1% (the "Base Rate Option").
-----          ----------------

          (b)  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.9, each Eurodollar Loan
shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed
over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for
the Interest Period in effect for such Loan plus 0.75% (the "Eurodollar Rate
                                            ----             ---------------
Option").
------

          (c)  Interest on each Revolving Credit Loan shall be payable on each
Interest Payment Date applicable to such Loan; provided, that interest accruing
                                               --------
on overdue amounts pursuant to Section 2.9 shall be payable on demand.  The
Bank's calculation of the Eurodollar Rate and the Base Rate shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

     2.9  Default Rate; Inability to Determine Interest Rate.
          --------------------------------------------------

          (a)  Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of
Default under Section 7.1(a) or (g), the outstanding principal amount of the
Loans and, to the extent permitted by law, accrued and unpaid interest thereon
and any other amount payable hereunder shall bear interest from the date of such
occurrence until paid in full (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per
annum which is equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the Base Rate Option.
Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default other
than under Section 7.1(a) or (g), the outstanding principal amount of the Loans
and, to the extent permitted by law, accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any
other amount payable hereunder shall bear interest from the date that the Bank
shall send notice to the Borrower of the application of the default rate until
paid in full (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum which is
equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the Base Rate Option.  The Borrower
acknowledges that such increased interest rate reflects, among other things, the
fact that such loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk
given its default status and that the Bank is entitled to additional
compensation for such risk.

          (b)  In the event, and on each occasion, that prior to the
commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan, the Bank shall have
determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the
Borrower) that dollar deposits in the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan
are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rate at
which such dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to the Bank of making or maintaining the principal amount of
such Eurodollar Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do
not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate, the Bank shall, as soon as
practicable thereafter, give written, telegraphic or telephonic notice of such
determination to the Borrower. After such notice shall have been given and until
the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, each request for a
Eurodollar Loan or for conversion to or maintenance of a Eurodollar Loan
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a request for a
Base Rate Loan.

                                      -19-

     2.10  Termination, Reduction and Extension of Commitment.
           --------------------------------------------------

           (a)  The Commitment shall be automatically terminated on the
Termination Date.

           (b)  Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, upon at least
five Business Days' prior irrevocable written or telecopy notice to the Bank,
the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to
time permanently reduce, the Commitment. Each partial reduction of the
Commitment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 or in whole
multiples thereof, and no such termination or reduction shall be made which
would, after giving effect to any prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans on such
date reduce the Commitment to an amount less than the amount of the Exposure.

           (c)  In connection with any reduction of the Commitment, the Borrower
shall make any prepayment required under Section 2.11(b).

           (d)  During the period beginning ninety (90) days prior to the then
effective Termination Date and ending sixty (60) days prior to such Termination
Date, the Borrower may deliver to the Bank a notice requesting that the
Commitment be extended for an additional nine months beyond the Termination Date
then in effect. If the Bank agrees to extend the Commitment, the Bank shall so
notify the Borrower, whereupon (i) the Commitment shall without further act by
any party hereto, be extended to the date nine months after the Termination Date
then in effect and (ii) the term "Termination Date" shall thereafter mean such
date. Any such extension shall be evidenced by a written agreement between the
Bank and the Borrower, such agreement to be in form and substance acceptable to
the Bank.

     2.11  Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans.
           ------------------------------------------------------------

           (a)  The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to
time to prepay any Revolving Credit Borrowing, in whole or in part, without
premium or penalty (but in any event subject to Section 2.15), upon prior
written, telecopy or telephonic notice to the Bank given no later than 10:30
a.m., Wilmington time, one Business Day before any proposed prepayment;
provided, however, that each such partial prepayment shall be in the principal
--------  -------
amount of at least (x) with respect to Base Rate Loans, $100,000 or in whole
multiples thereof and (y) with respect to Eurodollar Loans, $500,000 or in whole
multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in either case, the entire amount
outstanding, whether or not divisible by $100,000.

           (b)  On the date of any reduction of the Commitment pursuant to
Section 2.10, the Borrower shall pay or prepay so much of the Revolving Credit
Borrowings as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to such
reduction and any such payments, the Exposure at such time will not exceed the
Commitment.

           (c)  Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and
the principal amount of each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid,
shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing (or
portion thereof) by the amount stated therein.  All prepayments on Eurodollar
Loans under this Section shall be

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the
date of prepayment.

          2.12      Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if
                    ----------
any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application
thereof shall make it unlawful for the Bank to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans
as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of the Bank hereunder to
make or refinance Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and
convert or refinance Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be
cancelled and (b) the Bank's Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any,
shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days
of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such
earlier period as required by law.  If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan
occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period
with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such amounts, if any,
as may be required pursuant to Section 2.15.

          2.13      Requirements of Law.
                    -------------------

                    (a)  In the event that any change in any Requirement of Law
or in the interpretation, or application thereof or compliance by the Bank with
any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

                         (i)   shall subject the Bank to any tax of any kind
whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the Note, any Letter of Credit, any
Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation
of payments to the Bank in respect thereof (except for taxes covered by Section
2.14 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income, gross receipts or
revenue of the Bank);

                         (ii)  shall impose, modify or hold applicable any
reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits
or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other
extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of the
Bank which is not otherwise included in the determination of the interest rate
on such Eurodollar Loan hereunder; or

                         (iii) shall impose on the Bank any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Bank, by
an amount which the Bank deems to be material, of making, converting into,
continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in
Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect
thereof then, in any such case, the Borrower shall as promptly as practicable
pay the Bank, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate
the Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, that
                                                               --------
the Borrower shall not be liable for any such amounts incurred by the Bank more
than 90 days prior to the date of the Bank's notification to the Borrower.  If
the Bank becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
subsection, it shall as promptly as practicable notify the Borrower of the event
by reason of which it has become so entitled.  A certificate as to any
additional amounts payable

                                      -21-

pursuant to this subsection submitted by the Bank to the Borrower shall be
reasonably detailed and include supporting documentation, and shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Note and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

          (b) In the event that the Bank shall have determined that any change
in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or
application thereof or compliance by the Bank or any corporation controlling the
Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the
date hereof does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the
Bank's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder or under any Letter of Credit to a level below that which the Bank or
such corporation could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking
into consideration the Bank's or such corporation's policies with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then from time
to time, after submission by the Bank to the Borrower of a written request
therefor, which shall be reasonably detailed and include supporting
documentation, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate the Bank for such reduction; provided, that the
                                                        --------
Borrower shall not be liable for any such amounts incurred by the Bank more than
90 days prior to the date of the Bank's notification to the Borrower.

          (c) The Bank agrees that it will use reasonable efforts in order to
avoid or to minimize, as the case may be, the payment by the Borrower of any
additional amount under Section 2.13(b); provided, however, that the Bank shall
                                         --------  -------
be obligated to incur any expense, cost or other amount in connection with
utilizing such reasonable efforts.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 2.13(a), (b) and (c), the
Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to the Bank that is
not incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state thereof as a
result of any change in any Requirement of Law or compliance by the Bank with
any request or directive from any central bank or Governmental Authority to the
extent that such additional amounts exceed the amounts that would have been
payable by the Borrower under Section 2.13(a), (b) or (c) to the Bank.

     2.14 Taxes.  All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement and the
          -----
Note shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for
or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter
imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority
(excluding, net income taxes and franchise or gross receipts taxes imposed in
lieu of net income taxes imposed on the Bank as a result of a present or former
connection between the jurisdiction of the government or taxing authority
imposing such tax and the Bank (excluding a connection arising solely from the
Bank having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a
payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or the Note)) (all such non-excluded
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings being
hereinafter called "Taxes"). If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any
                    -----
amounts payable to the Bank hereunder or under the Note, the amounts so payable
to the Bank shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Bank
(after payment of all Taxes) interest or any

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in
this Agreement and the Note. Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as
promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Bank for its own
account or for the account of the Bank, as the case may be, a certified copy of
an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof.
If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing
authority or fails to remit to the Bank the required receipts or other required
documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Bank for any incremental
taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Bank as a result of
any such failure. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Note and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

           2.15     Indemnity.
                    ---------

                    (a)   The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Bank and to hold
the Bank harmless from any loss or expense which the Bank may sustain or incur
as a consequence of (i) default by the Borrower in payment when due of the
principal amount of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan, (ii) default by the
Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar
Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement, (iii) default by the Borrower in making
any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement or (iv) the making of a prepayment of
Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with
respect thereto, except any such loss as may result from the partial prepayment
of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 4.1(k). This covenant shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Note and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

                    (b)   For the purpose of calculation of all amounts payable
to the Bank under this subsection, the Bank shall be deemed to have actually
funded its relevant Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing
interest at the Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that
Eurodollar Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest
Period; provided, however, that the Bank may fund each of its Eurodollar Loans
        --------  -------
in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only
for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. This covenant
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Note and
all other amounts payable hereunder.

                    (a)   The Borrower shall make each payment (including
principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees or other amounts) hereunder not
later than 12:00 (noon), Wilmington time, on the date when due in Dollars to the
Bank at its offices specified in Section 8.2 or at such other place as may be
designated by the Bank, in immediately available funds.

                    (b)   Whenever any payment (including principal of or
interest on any Loan or any fees or other amounts) hereunder shall become due,
or otherwise would occur, on a

                                      -23-

day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the
computation of interest or fees, if applicable.

          2.18      Conversion and Continuation Options.  The Borrower shall
                    -----------------------------------
have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Bank (i) not
later than 12:00 noon, Wilmington time, on the Business Day of conversion, to
convert any Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan, (ii) not later than 12:00 noon,
Wilmington time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to (y)
convert any Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan, or (z) to continue any
Eurodollar Loan as a Eurodollar Loan for any additional Interest Period and
(iii) not later than 12:00 noon, Wilmington time, three Business Days prior to
conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan
to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:
                                        -------

                    (a)   a Eurodollar Loan may not be converted at a time other
than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;

                    (b)   any portion of a Loan maturing or required to be
repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a
Eurodollar Loan;

                    (c)   no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such and no
Base Rate Loan may be converted to a Eurodollar Loan when any Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Bank has determined that such
a continuation is not appropriate;

                    (d)   any portion of a Eurodollar Loan that cannot be
converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Loan by reason of Section 2.18(b) or
(c) automatically shall be converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect
for such Loan to a Base Rate Loan; and

                    (e)   on the last day of any Interest Period for Eurodollar
Loans if the Borrower shall have failed to give notice of conversion or
continuation as described in this subsection or if such conversion or
continuation is not permitted pursuant to this Section 2.18, such Loans shall be
converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest
Period.

Accrued interest on a Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by
the Borrower at the time of conversion.

          2.19      Use of Proceeds.  The Letters of Credit and the proceeds of
                    ---------------
the Loans shall be used by the Borrower for working capital and general
corporate purposes in the ordinary course of business (including, but not
limited to, refinancing existing working capital-related indebtedness and,
subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, acquisition financing).

                 SECTION 3.     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          To induce the Bank to enter into this Agreement, and to make the Loans
and to issue the Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants

consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of their
operations and their consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. All
such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto,

periods involved. Neither the Borrower nor any of its consolidated Subsidiaries
had, as of December 31, 2000, any material Contingent Obligation, liability for
taxes, or any long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment,
including, without limitation, any Interest Hedge Agreement, which is not
reflected in the financial statements contained in the Borrower's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2000 or the notes thereto.

                   (b)   No Sales.  During the period from December 31, 2000, to
                         --------

other disposition by the Borrower or any of its consolidated Subsidiaries of any
material part of its business or property and no purchase or other acquisition

qualified and/or in good standing could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all
Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith
could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

           3.4     Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.  The
                   -------------------------------------------------------
Borrower has the corporate power, authority, and legal right, to make, deliver
and perform this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents to which it is
a party and to borrow hereunder and has taken all necessary corporate action to

Authority or any

                                      -25-
<PAGE>

other Person (including stockholders and creditors of the Borrower) is required
in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Note or the other

enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether
enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

          3.5  No Legal Bar.  The execution, delivery and performance of this
               ------------
Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents by the Borrower, the borrowings
hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement
of Law or Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or of any of its Subsidiaries
and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on
any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such
Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation.

          3.6  No Material Litigation.  No litigation, investigation or
               ----------------------
proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or,
to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any of its

          3.8  Taxes.  Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has filed or
               -----
caused to be filed all tax returns which, to its knowledge, are required to be
filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on
any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees
or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental
Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which
reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower
or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be); no tax Lien has been filed against the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no
claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charges.

          3.9  Federal Regulations.  No part of the proceeds of any Loans will
               -------------------
be used for "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin stock" within the respective
meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U or for any purpose which
violates the provisions of Regulation U.  If requested by the Bank, the Borrower
will furnish to the Bank a statement to the

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form U-l referred to

provisions of Regulation X.

           3.10     ERISA.
                    -----

                    (a)    Neither a Reportable Event nor an "accumulated
funding deficiency" (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section
302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on
which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Single
Employer Plan, and each Single Employer Plan has compiled in all material
respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No termination of
a Single Employer Plan has occurred and no lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan
has arisen during the five-year period prior to the date as of which this
representation is made or deemed made. No other event or condition has occurred
or exists with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected
individually or in the aggregate to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                    (b)    The present value of all accrued benefits under each
Single Employer Plan in which the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity is
a participant (based on those assumptions used to fund the Plans) did not, as of
the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is
made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to
such accrued benefits by an amount in excess of ten percent (10%) of
Consolidated Net Worth as of the end of the most recent fiscal year of the
Borrower for which financial statements have been delivered to the Bank pursuant
to this Agreement.

                    (c)    Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled
Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and
neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to
any liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity
were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation
date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or
deemed made, in any such case which could reasonably be expected individually or
in the aggregate to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                    (d)    To the Borrower's knowledge, no such Multiemployer
Plan is in "reorganization" or "insolvent," within the meaning of such terms as
used in ERISA.

                    (e)    The present value (determined using actuarial and
other assumptions which are reasonable in respect of the benefits provided and
the employees participating) of the liability of the Borrower and each Commonly
Controlled Entity for post retirement benefits to be provided to their current
and former employees under Plans which are welfare benefit plans (as defined in
Section 3(1) of ERISA) does not, in the aggregate, exceed the assets under all
such Plans allocable to such benefits by an amount in excess of ten percent
(10%) of the Borrower's consolidated net worth as of the end of the most recent
fiscal year of the Borrower for which financial statements have been delivered
to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is (a) an "investment company",
or a company "controlled" by an "investment company", within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (b) a "holding company" or a
"subsidiary company" of a "holding company" or an "affiliate" of either a
"holding company" or a "subsidiary company" within the meaning of the Public

federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its
ability to borrow money.

Loans and the Letters of Credit shall only be used by the Borrower for the
purposes permitted under Section 2.19.

          3.13      Environmental Matters.  To the best knowledge of the
                    ---------------------
Borrower, each of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraphs (a)
through (e) of this subsection is true and correct with respect to each parcel
of real property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
(the "Properties"), except to the extent that the facts and circumstances giving
      ----------
rise to any such failure to be so true and correct could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

                    (a)  The Properties do not contain, and have not previously
contained, in, on, or under, including, without limitation, the soil and
groundwater thereunder, any Materials of Environmental Concern in concentrations
which violate Environmental Laws.

                    (b)  The Properties and all operations and facilities at the
Properties are in compliance with Environmental Laws, and there is no Materials
of Environmental Concern contamination or violation of any Environmental Law
which would materially interfere with the continued operation of any of the
Properties or materially impair the fair saleable value of any thereof.

                    (c)  Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has
received or is aware of any claim, notice of violation, alleged violation, non-
compliance, investigation or advisory action or potential liability regarding
environmental matters or compliance of Environmental Law with regard to the
Properties which has not been satisfactorily resolved by the Borrower or such
Subsidiary, nor is the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries aware or have reason
to believe that any such action is being contemplated, considered or threatened.

                    (d)  Materials of Environmental Concern have not been
generated, treated, stored, disposed of, at, on or under any of the Properties
in violation of Environmental Laws, nor have any Materials of Environmental
Concern been transferred from the Properties to any other location except in
either case in the ordinary course of business of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and in material compliance with all Environmental Laws.

                    (e)  There are no governmental, administrative actions or
judicial proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower,
contemplated under any Environmental Laws to which the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries is or will be named as a

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

party with respect to the Properties, nor are there any consent decrees or other
decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other
administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law
with respect to any of the Properties.

          3.14      No Burdensome Restrictions.  No Requirement of Law or
                    --------------------------
Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          3.15      Ownership of Borrower and Subsidiaries.  The beneficial
                    --------------------------------------
ownership of the Capital Stock of the Borrower by its executive officers,
directors and 5% shareholders has not changed materially from that set forth in
the Borrower's most recent registration statement as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  The Borrower owns all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of each of the Guarantor and, as of the date of this Agreement,
the Borrower owns all of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of each of its
Subsidiaries.

          3.16      Patents, Trademarks, etc.  Each of the Borrower and its
                    -------------------------
Subsidiaries has obtained and holds in full force and effect or is licensed to
use all patents, trademarks, servicemarks, trade names, copyrights and other
such rights, free from burdensome restrictions, which are necessary for the
operation of its business as presently conducted.  To the Borrower's best
knowledge, no material product, process, method, substance, part or other
material presently sold by or employed by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in
connection with such business infringes any patent, trademark, service mark,
trade name, copyright, license or other right owned by any other Person.  There
is not pending or, to the Borrower's knowledge, overtly threatened any claim or
litigation against or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary contesting its

                    --------------
has obtained and holds in full force and effect, all franchises, licenses,
permits, certificates, authorizations, qualifications, easements, rights of way
and other rights, consents and approvals which are necessary for the operation
of its business as presently conducted.

          3.19      Labor Matters.  As of the Effective Date, there are no

                                   EXHIBIT C

                       GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP AGREEMENT


          THIS GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP AGREEMENT (this "Guaranty") is made and
entered into as of this ____ day of January, 2002, by DOVER DOWNS, INC., a
Delaware corporation, (the "Guarantor"), with an address at 1131 N. duPont
Highway, Dover, DE 19903, in consideration of the extension of credit by
Wilmington Trust Company (together with its successors and assigns, the "Bank"),
with an address of 121 South State Street, Dover, DE 19803, pursuant to the
Credit Agreement of even date herewith between the Bank and DOVER DOWNS GAMING &
ENTERTAINMENT, INC. (the "Borrower"), and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

                                  BACKGROUND

          In connection with the Credit Agreement, it is a condition precedent
to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement and to the making of loans and the
issuance of letters of credit by the Bank from time to time that the Guarantor
executes and delivers this Guaranty.

          In consideration of the foregoing and in order to induce the Bank to
make loans and issue letters of credit to the Borrower under the Credit
Agreement from time to time and for other consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

          1.   Guaranty of Obligations.  The Guarantor hereby guarantees, and
               -----------------------
becomes surety for, the prompt payment and performance of all loans, advances,
debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to
the Bank of any kind or nature, present or future (including, without
limitation, any interest accruing thereon after maturity, or after the filing of
a petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization
or like proceeding relating to the Guarantor or the Borrower, whether or not a
claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding),
whether or not evidenced by any note, guaranty or other instrument, arising
under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document (as defined in the Credit
Agreement), whether direct or indirect (including those acquired by assignment
or participation), absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or to become
due, now existing or hereafter arising, and any amendments, extensions, renewals
or increases and all costs and expenses of the Bank incurred in the
modification, enforcement or collection of any of the foregoing, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses (collectively the "Obligations").  If
the Borrower defaults under any such Obligations, the Guarantor will pay the
amount due to the Bank.

          2.   Nature of Guaranty; Waivers.  This is a guaranty of payment and
               ---------------------------
not of collection and the Bank shall not be required, as a condition of the
Guarantor's liability, to make any demand upon or to pursue any of its rights
against the Borrower, or to pursue any rights which may be available to them
with respect to any other person who may be liable for the payment of the
Obligations.
<PAGE>

               This is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing
guaranty and will remain in full force and effect until all of the Obligations
have been indefeasibly paid in full, and the Bank has terminated this Guaranty.
This Guaranty will not be affected by any surrender, exchange, acceptance,
compromise or release by the Bank of any other party, or any other guaranty or
any security held by it for any of the Obligations, by any failure of the Bank
to take any steps to perfect or maintain its lien or security interest in or to
preserve its rights to any security or other collateral for any of the
Obligations or any guaranty, or by any irregularity, unenforceability or
invalidity of any of the Obligations or any part thereof or any security or
other guaranty thereof.  The Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not be
affected, modified or impaired by any counterclaim, set-off, deduction or
defense based upon any claim the Guarantor may have against the Borrower or the
Bank, except payment or performance of the Obligations.

               Notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of extensions of
credit to the Borrower from time to time, notice of default, diligence,
presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for payment, are hereby waived.

               The Bank at any time and from time to time, without notice to or
the consent of the Guarantor, and without impairing or releasing, discharging or
modifying the Guarantor's liabilities hereunder, may (a) change the manner,
place, time or terms of payment or performance of or interest rates on, or other
terms relating to, any of the Obligations; (b) renew, substitute, modify, amend
or alter, or grant consents or waivers relating to any of the Obligations, any
other guaranties, or any security for any Obligations or guaranties; (c) apply
any and all payments by whomever paid or however realized including any proceeds
of any collateral, to any Obligations of the Borrower in such order, manner and
amount as the Bank may determine in its sole discretion; (d) deal with any other
persons with respect to any Obligations in such manner as the Bank deems
appropriate in its sole discretion; (e) substitute, exchange or release any
security or guaranty; or (f) take such actions and exercise such remedies
hereunder as provided herein.

          3.   Repayments or Recovery from Bank.  If any demand is made at any
               --------------------------------
time upon the Bank for the repayment or recovery of any amount received by it in
payment or on account of any of the Obligations and if the Bank repays all or
any part of such amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court
or administrative body or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such
demand, the Guarantor will be and remain liable hereunder for the amount so
repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never been received
originally by the Bank.  The provisions of this section will be and remain
effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the
Guarantor in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken
will be without prejudice to the Bank's rights hereunder and will be deemed to
have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and irrevocable.

          4.   Enforceability of Obligations.  No modification, limitation or
               -----------------------------
discharge of the Obligations arising out of or by virtue of any bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under federal or
state law will affect, modify, limit or discharge the Guarantor's liability in
any manner whatsoever and this Guaranty will remain and continue in full force
and effect and will be enforceable against the Guarantor to the same extent and
with
<PAGE>

the same force and effect as if any such proceeding had not been instituted. The
Guarantor waives all rights and benefits which might accrue to it by reason of
any such proceeding and will be liable to the full extent hereunder,
irrespective of any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of
the Borrower that may result from any such proceeding.

          5.   Events of Default.  If any of the following occur (each an "Event
               -----------------
of Default"):  (i) any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
(ii) the failure by the Guarantor to perform any of its obligations hereunder;
(iii) the falsity, inaccuracy or material breach by the Guarantor of any written
warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to the Bank by or on
behalf of the Guarantor; or (iv) the termination or attempted termination of
this Guaranty, then the Guarantor will, on the demand of the Bank, immediately
deposit with the Bank in U.S. dollars all amounts due or to become due under the
Obligations and the Bank will use such funds to repay the Obligations.  Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, the Bank in its discretion may exercise with
respect to any collateral any one or more of the rights and remedies provided a
secured party under the applicable version of the Uniform Commercial Code.

          6.   Right of Setoff.  In addition to all liens upon and rights of
               ---------------
setoff against the money, securities or other property of the Guarantor given to
the Bank by law, the Bank shall have, with respect to the Guarantor's
obligations to the Bank under the Guaranty and to the extent permitted by law, a
contractual possessory security interest in a contractual right of setoff
against, and the Guarantor hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges and
transfers to the Bank all of the Guarantor's right, title and interest in and
to, all deposits, moneys, securities and other property of the Guarantor now or
hereafter in the possession of or on deposit with, or in transit to the Bank,
whether held in a general or special account or deposit, whether held jointly
with someone else, or whether held for safekeeping or otherwise, excluding,
however, all IRA, Keogh, and trust accounts.  Every such security interest and
right of setoff may be exercised without demand upon or notice to the Guarantor.
Every such right of setoff shall be deemed to have occurred immediately upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder without any action of any of the
Bank, although the Bank may enter such setoff on its respective books and
records at a later time.

          7.   Costs.  The Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse the Bank for all
               -----
of its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or
preservation of any rights under this Guaranty, including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Bank.

          8.   Postponement of Subrogation.  Until the Obligations are
               ---------------------------
indefeasibly paid in full, the Guarantor postpones and subordinates in favor of
the Bank any and all rights which the Guarantor may have to (a) assert any claim
against the Borrower based on subrogation rights with respect to payments made
hereunder, and (b) any realization on any property of the Borrower, including
participation in any marshalling of the Borrower's assets.

          9.   Notices.  All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and
               -------
other communications required or permitted hereunder must be in writing and will
be effective upon receipt if delivered personally, or if sent by facsimile
transmission with confirmation of delivery,
<PAGE>

or by nationally recognized overnight courier service, to the addresses for the
Bank and the Guarantor set forth above or to such other address as one may give
to the other in writing for such purpose.

          10.  Preservation of Rights.  No delay or omission on the Bank's part
               ----------------------
to exercise any right or power arising hereunder will impair any such right or
power or be considered a waiver of any such right or power, nor will the Bank's
action or inaction impair any such right or power.  The Bank's rights and
remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or
remedies which the Bank may have under other agreements, at law or in equity.
The Bank may proceed in any order against the Borrower, the Guarantor or any
other obligor of, or collateral securing, the Obligations.

          11.  Illegality.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained
               ----------
in this Guaranty should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

          12.  Changes in Writing.  No modification, amendment or waiver of any
               ------------------
provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by the Guarantor
therefrom will be effective unless made in a writing signed by the Bank, and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on the Guarantor in any
case will entitle the Guarantor to any other or future notice or demand in the
same, similar or other circumstance.

          13.  Entire Agreement.  This Guaranty (including the documents and
               ----------------
instruments referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes
all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between
the Guarantor and the Bank with respect to the subject matter hereof.

          14.  Successors and Assigns.  This Guaranty will be binding upon and
               ----------------------
inure to the benefit of the Guarantor and the Bank and, other than with respect
to Section 6, their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns; provided, however, that the Guarantor may not assign this Guaranty in
         --------  -------
whole or in part without the Bank's prior written consent and the Bank at any
time may assign this Guaranty in whole or in part.

          15.  Interpretation.  In this Guaranty, unless the Bank and the
               --------------
Guarantor otherwise agree in writing, the singular includes the plural and the
plural the singular; references to statutes are to be construed as including all
statutory provisions consolidating, amending or replacing the statute referred

              FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO BORROWER AND GUARANTOR


                                    January __, 2002

Wilmington Trust Company
121 South State Street
Dover, DE   19901

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We have acted as counsel to Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), and Dover Downs, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Guarantor"), in connection with the execution and delivery of
the Credit Agreement dated as of  January __, 2002 (the "Credit Agreement"),
between the Borrower and the Bank, and the transactions contemplated thereby.
This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 4.1(g) of the Credit
Agreement.  Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

          In so acting, we have examined executed originals or counterparts of
the following documents, each dated the date hereof (the "Loan Documents"):

          (a)  the Credit Agreement;

          (b)  the Note; and

          (c)  the Guaranty Agreement.

          We have also examined the articles or certificate of incorporation and
bylaws, each as amended to date, of the Borrower and the Guarantor and such
other documents and instruments and have made such further inquiries as we have
deemed appropriate for purposes of this opinion.  As to certain issues of fact,
we have, where such facts were not independently known to us, relied with your
consent and without independent investigation upon the representations and
warranties made by the Borrower in the Credit Agreement and upon certificates of
representatives of the Borrower dated January __, 2002.

          On the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

          1.   The Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is duly
qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in
each jurisdiction where the business conducted by it requires such
qualification.

          2.   The Borrower has the corporate or other power and authority to
own or lease and operate its properties and assets, to conduct the business in
which it is now engaged, and to execute and deliver and perform its obligations
under the Loan Documents to which it is a party.  The execution, delivery and
performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a
<PAGE>

party by the Borrower have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the
part of the Borrower.

          3.   The Guarantor is a corporation duly incorporated, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation and has the corporate power and authority to own or lease and
operate its properties and assets, to conduct the business in which it is now
engaged, and to execute the Guaranty Agreement.

          4.   The Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party delivered on
the Closing Date have each been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of
the Borrower and are valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable
against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as the
same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws or equitable principles affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.

          5.   The Guaranty Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by or
on behalf of the Guarantor and is the valid and binding obligation of the
Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except
as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws or equitable principles
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.

          6.   No authorization, approval or consent of, or filing or
registration with, any governmental or regulatory body of the United States of
America or the State of Delaware is required in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance by the Borrower or the Guarantor of the Loan Documents
to which it is a party or for any borrowings by the Borrower under the Credit
Agreement.

          7.   Neither the execution and delivery by the Borrower or the
Guarantor of the Loan Documents to which it is a party nor the performance and
observance by the Borrower or the Guarantor of their respective obligations
thereunder, will conflict with, or result in any violation or breach by the
Borrower or the Guarantor of or constitute a default under (or an event which,
with or without due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default
under), or accelerate the performance required by, or result in the creation of
any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Borrower or the Guarantor
under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of or require any filing or
consent under (i) the Borrower's or the Guarantor's articles or certificate of
incorporation or bylaws, (ii) any existing law, statute or governmental
regulation applicable to the Borrower or the Guarantor, or (iii) to our
knowledge, any judgment, order, decree, writ or injunction of any court,
arbitrator or governmental department, commission, agency or instrumentality or
any indenture, contract, guaranty or other agreement or instrument to which the
Borrower or the Guarantor is a party or by which it or its properties may be
bound or affected.

          8.   To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation at law or in equity, before any court, public board or body,
pending or threatened against or affecting the Borrower wherein an unfavorable
decision, ruling or finding would, individually or
<PAGE>

collectively, have a material adverse effect on the business or financial
condition of the Borrower.

          9.   The borrowing on the date hereof under the Credit Agreement and
the Note and the application of the proceeds thereof as contemplated by the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not violate any of the
provisions of Regulation U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System.
