Heading: HV's contact with Penn National

Text: In the summer of 2005, Shallenburger, who at the time was working for but was not yet a member of HV, first spoke to Richard Klemp, the Vice-President of Government Relations for Penn National, a Pennsylvania-based gaming company, about the prospect of gaming in Kansas and the possibility of Penn National developing a casino on the Subject Property. In September 2005, Klemp and Steven Snyder, Penn National's Senior Vice-President for Corporate Development, met with HV to discuss the prospects for the legalization of gaming in Kansas, visited the Subject Property, and drove through northeastern Oklahoma to look at the existing tribal casinos. On January 11, 2006, Penn National and HV entered into a Letter of Intent that contemplated that Penn National would lease the Subject Property. Thereafter, Penn National and HV engaged in various efforts to secure the legalization of gaming in Kansas.
