                       AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

         THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (the "Amendment") is dated as
of December 6, 1999, and is made by and among RENT-WAY, INC., a Pennsylvania
corporation (the "Borrower"), RENT-WAY OF TTIG, L.P., an Indiana limited
partnership, and RENTAVISION INC., a New York Corporation (Rent-Way of TTIG,
L.P. and Rentavision Inc. are referred to herein collectively as the
"Co-Borrowers" and each separately as a "Co-Borrower"), each of the LENDERS
which have made Term Loans B (as defined in the Credit Agreement defined below),
and NATIONAL CITY BANK OF PENNSYLVANIA in its capacity as administrative agent
for the Lenders under the Credit Agreement (hereinafter referred to in such
capacity as the "Administrative Agent").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, the parties hereto, the Guarantors, the Lenders which have
made Term Loans A, the Lenders which have made Revolving Credit Commitments,
Bank of Montreal and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, in their capacity as
syndication agents, and Bank of America, in its capacity as document agent, are
parties to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of September 23, 1999, as
amended by Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement dated as of November 17, 1999
(collectively, the "Credit Agreement"), pursuant to which the Lenders provided
to the Borrower and the Co-Borrowers a $100,000,000 revolving credit facility,
$125,000,000 in Term Loans A and $100,000,000 in Term Loans B; and

         WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Co-Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and
the Syndication Agents have discussed modification of the pricing of the
interest rates applicable to the Term Loans B in connection with the syndication
of the Term Loans B and a modification of the prepayment provisions of the Term
B Loans.

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of their mutual
covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and intending to be legally bound
hereby, covenant and agree as follows:

         1. Definitions. Defined terms used herein unless otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

         2. Section 5.5.2 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

                 "5.5.2 Sale of Assets; Issuance of Stock.

                  Within five (5) Business Days of any sale of assets authorized
by Section 8.2.7(v) which involves the sale of assets having a market value or
book value in an amount equal to or greater than $10,000,000 in the aggregate in
any fiscal year, the Borrower and

<PAGE>   2

the Co-Borrowers shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal equal to the
after-tax proceeds of such sale (as estimated in good faith by the Borrower and
the Co-Borrowers), together with accrued interest on such principal amount.
Simultaneously with any issuance of capital stock by the Borrower authorized by
Section 8.2.13(iv), the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal
equal to the net proceeds of such issuance. In the event that the Required
Lenders permit the incurrence of Indebtedness other than as permitted under
Section 8.2.1, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal equal
to the net proceeds of such Indebtedness. In the event that the Administrative
Agent does not disburse insurance proceeds in excess of $250,000 to the Loan
Parties pursuant to Section 8.1.3, such proceeds shall be applied as a mandatory
prepayment of principal equal to the amount of such insurance proceeds. All
prepayments pursuant to this Section 5.5.2 shall be applied in accordance with
the provisions of Section 5.5.1, and upon payment in full of the Term Loans,
then as a permanent reduction to the Revolving Credit Commitments. IN THE EVENT
THAT ANY ONE OR MORE LENDERS WITH TERM LOANS B OUTSTANDING ELECTS NOT TO RECEIVE
ITS PRO RATA SHARE OF SUCH PREPAYMENTS, SUCH LENDER SHALL PROVIDE WRITTEN NOTICE
OF THE AMOUNT IT ELECTS NOT TO RECEIVE IN PREPAYMENT OF ITS TERM LOAN B, AND
SUCH AMOUNT SHALL BE REALLOCATED TO PAYMENT OF THE TERM LOANS A BASED UPON THE
RATABLE SHARE OF THE LENDERS WITH TERM LOANS A, TO BE APPLIED BY THE LENDERS
WITH TERM LOANS A IN THE INVERSE ORDER OF SCHEDULED MATURITIES. Notwithstanding
the foregoing and in the case of asset sales authorized by Section 8.2.7(v), to
the extent that the after-tax proceeds of such sale are used by the applicable
Loan Party prior to the due date of the mandatory prepayment to acquire
substitute assets in the ordinary course of business of such Loan Party and such
substitute assets are subject to a Prior Security Interest in favor of the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, then the mandatory
prepayment shall be correspondingly reduced or terminated, as the case may be.

         3. Revised Schedule 1.1(A). Schedule 1.1(A) to the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended and restated as set forth on Schedule 1.1(A) attached to this
Amendment No. 2 and made a part hereof. From and after the date of this
Amendment No. 2 and subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Term Loans
B shall bear interest as set forth on Schedule 1.1(A) attached to this Amendment
No. 2. The interest rates charged on the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term
Loans A, the Commitment Fee and the Letter of Credit Fee shall remain unchanged
from the interest rates, Commitment Fee and Letter of Credit fees in effect
prior to this Amendment No. 2.

         4. Parties to Amendment No. 2. This Amendment No. 2 is executed and
delivered by the Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, on behalf of themselves and the
Loans Parties, the current holders of all the Term Loans B, and the

of December 7, 1999, and is made by and among RENT-WAY, INC., a Pennsylvania
corporation (the "Borrower"), RENT-WAY OF TTIG, L.P., an Indiana limited

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, the parties hereto are parties to that certain Credit
Agreement dated as of September 23, 1999, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto
dated as of November 17, 1999, and Amendment No. 2 thereto dated as of December

provided to the Borrower and the Co-Borrowers a $100,000,000 revolving credit
facility, $125,000,000 in Term Loans A and $100,000,000 in Term Loans B;

         WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Co-Borrowers have requested the Lenders

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of their mutual

         2. The following definitions set forth in Section 1.1 are hereby
amended and restated as follows:

                  "Consolidated Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations for any
period of determination shall mean (i) the sum of net income, amortization,
interest expense and income tax expense minus (ii) non-cash credits to net
income, in each case of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such period
determined and consolidated in accordance with GAAP. If the Borrower or any Loan
Party shall have made one or more Permitted Acquisitions as permitted under
Section 8.2.6(2) during the period of determination, Consolidated Adjusted Cash
Flow from Operations for such period shall be adjusted on a pro forma basis
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and based upon the historical
financial statements reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent of the
Person or assets acquired to give effect to such Permitted Acquisitions as if
they had occurred at the beginning of such period. The pro forma adjustment
shall include any income or loss attributable to the ownership interests or
assets purchased, excluding in the case of a stock acquisition of the Person
acquired any income on the historical financial statements attributable to stock
or asset dispositions made prior to the time of the Permitted Acquisition. The
pro forma adjustment shall exclude any income on the historical financial
statements attributable to stock or assets acquired under the Permitted
Acquisition which the Borrower or the Loan Party contemplate disposing of
following the Permitted Acquisition. The pro forma adjustment shall not include
any projected cost savings, cost reductions or similar synergistic adjustments
forecasted by the Borrower based upon the Permitted Acquisition. Consolidated
Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations shall also be adjusted on a pro forma basis
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent based upon the historical
financial statements of Rentavision in the same manner and subject to the same
criteria described above with respect to Permitted Acquisitions, and to exclude
one-time charges resulting from the merger of Home Choice Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, with and into the Borrower, effective on December 10,
1998.

                  Consolidated Cash Flow from Operations for any period of
determination shall mean (i) the sum of net income, depreciation (excluding
depreciation of Rental Merchandise), amortization, other non-cash charges to net
income, interest expense and income tax expense minus (ii) non-cash credits to
net income, in each case of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such period
determined and consolidated in accordance with GAAP. If the Borrower or any Loan
Party shall have made one or more Permitted Acquisitions as permitted under
Section 8.2.6(2) during the period of determination, Consolidated Cash Flow from
Operations for such period shall be adjusted on a pro forma basis reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent and based upon the historical financial
statements reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent of the Person or
assets acquired to give effect to such Permitted Acquisitions as if they had
occurred at the beginning of such period. The pro forma adjustment shall include
any income or loss attributable to the ownership interests or assets purchased,
excluding in the case of a stock acquisition of the Person acquired any income
on the historical financial statements attributable to stock or asset
dispositions made prior to the time of the Permitted Acquisition. The pro forma
adjustment shall exclude any income on the historical financial statements
attributable to stock or assets acquired under the Permitted Acquisition which
the Borrower or the Loan Party contemplate disposing of following the Permitted
Acquisition. The pro forma adjustment shall not include any projected cost
savings, cost

reductions or similar synergistic adjustments forecasted by the Borrower based
upon the Permitted Acquisition. Consolidated Cash Flow from Operations shall
also be adjusted on a pro forma basis reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent based upon the historical financial statements of
Rentavision in the same manner and subject to the same criteria described above
with respect to Permitted Acquisitions, and to exclude one-time charges
resulting from the merger of Home Choice Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
with and into the Borrower, effective on December 10, 1998."

        3. Section 8.2.6 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

                  "8.2.6 Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions.

of its Subsidiaries to, dissolve, liquidate or wind-up its affairs, or become a
party to any merger or consolidation, or acquire by purchase, lease or otherwise
all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of any other Person,

discretion of the Administrative Agent, and take such other action as is
necessary to maintain first priority Liens in the assets of the parties to such
merger or consolidation; and

                  (2) any Loan Party may acquire, whether by purchase or by
merger, (A) all of the ownership interests of another Person or (B)
substantially all of assets of another Person or of a business or division of
another Person (each an "Permitted Acquisition"), provided that each of the

owners shall grant Liens in the assets and stock or other ownership interests in
such Person and otherwise comply with Section 11.18 on or before the date of

Lenders such opinions of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the
