Borrowing Date for the requested Borrowing) deliver a confirmatory Notice of
Borrowing to the Agent. The Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice thereof

from the written Notice of Borrowing subsequently delivered, the telephonic
request shall govern as to the terms of all Advances made in accordance with
such telephonic request. The Agent's determination of the contents of any
telephonic request shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on
all parties hereto.

(g) Assumption of Funding. Unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender
prior to any Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make available to the
Agent such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing to be made on such Borrowing
Date, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made its Pro Rata Share
available to the Agent on such Borrowing Date in accordance with Section 2.01(e)
and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Borrower on such Borrowing Date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent
that such Lender fails to make its Pro Rata Share available to the Agent, such
Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day
from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such
amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest
rate applicable at the time to such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such
Lender, the Federal Funds Rate until the third Business Day after demand by the
Agent to such Lender for such repayment and thereafter at the rate applicable at
the time to such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such
corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender's
Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement and the
Borrower shall thereupon be excused from making the repayment described in the
preceding sentence.
(h) Failure of Lender to Fund. All obligations of the Lenders hereunder
shall be several, but not joint. The failure of any Lender to make the Advance
to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of
its obligation, if any, hereunder to make
29
its Advance as part of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for
the failure of any other Lender to make an Advance on any Borrowing Date.

shall (i) constitute a Base Rate Advance until converted, at the Borrower's
election, into a Eurodollar Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10, and (ii)

Bank; provided that in the event any such statement was not true and correct as
of such date, such Advance shall be repayable on demand; provided further that
upon any such repayment on demand, the failure of any such statement to be true
and correct as of such date shall not constitute an Event of Default under
Section 6.01, unless the failure of any such statement to be true and correct as
of such date would have constituted an Event of Default under Section 6.01 even
if such repaid Advance had never been made.
(d) Reimbursement Obligation Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse the LC Bank for each payment made by the LC Bank under any Letter of
Credit, and to pay interest thereon as provided herein, shall be absolute,

the LC Bank in the extension of credit arising from the issuance of any Letter
of Credit in conformity with Section 2.02(a), in an amount equal to such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the amount available for payment under such Letter of
Credit. Upon written demand by the LC Bank, with a copy of such demand to the
Agent, each Lender shall promptly fund its participation by paying to the LC
Bank Dollars in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the payment
made by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with all interest
accrued and unpaid thereon for the period from the day on which the payment to
be reimbursed was demanded by the LC Bank until the Business Day on which such
funding from such Lender is received by the LC Bank at the rate per annum equal
to the Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day following such demand,
and thereafter the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Advances. Upon
funding its participation in accordance with this Section 2.02(e), each Lender
shall be deemed to have made an Advance as of the date the relevant Letter of
Credit was drawn, and the Advance deemed pursuant to Section 2.02(c) to have
been made by the LC Bank upon any such payment shall be reduced, in an amount
equal to such Lender's participation. Each Lender's obligation to make such
payment to the LC Bank shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and
shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence
or continuance of any Potential Default or Event of Default, the failure to meet
any condition that otherwise must be met for the funding of any Advance, or the
failure of any other Lender to make any payment under this Section 2.02(e), and
each Lender further agrees that such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. If after receipt of such funding
from any Lender the LC Bank receives payment from the Borrower or any other
source on account of the reimbursement obligation that was so funded, or the
interest accrued thereon, the LC Bank shall promptly remit such payment to the
Agent for prompt distribution to the Lenders to the extent of their
participation therein.

not be liable or responsible for (i) the use which may be made of any Letter of
Credit or for any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in

extent, but only to the extent, of any direct (as opposed to indirect, special
or consequential) damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves
were caused by (A) the LC Bank's willful misconduct or gross negligence in
determining whether a draft or demand presented under any Letter of Credit
strictly complies with the terms and conditions therefor stated in such Letter
of Credit or (B) the LC Bank's willful failure to pay any draft or demand
presented under any Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and
conditions thereof. The LC Bank may accept any document that appears on its face
to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation. The
determination whether a draft or demand is properly presented under any Letter
of Credit prior to its expiration or whether a draft or demand presented under
any Letter of Credit is in proper and sufficient form may be made by the LC Bank
in its sole discretion, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding
upon the Borrower to the extent permitted by law. The Borrower hereby waives any
right to object to any payment made under any Letter of Credit on presentation
of any draft or demand that is in the form provided in the Letter of Credit but
varies with respect to punctuation, capitalization, spelling or similar matters
of form.
(g) Replacement of LC Bank. The Borrower may at any time, upon at least
five Business Days' prior written notice to the Agent and Lenders, designate as
a replacement LC Bank any Lender that has agreed in writing to act as LC Bank.
Thereupon, (i) the obligation, right and authority of the Lender that was
previously acting as LC Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder shall be
terminated, (ii) such Lender shall remain entitled to enforce all provisions
hereof applicable to all Letters of Credit theretofore issued by or requested
from such Lender, and (iii) the Lender designated as the replacement LC Bank
shall thenceforth issue Letters of Credit on the terms and subject to the
conditions herein.
SECTION 2.03. Promissory Notes. (a) Notes. The Advances made by each Lender
shall be evidenced by the Notes delivered pursuant to Section 3.01(a).
32
(b) Recording of Amounts. Each Lender is hereby authorized (but shall not
be obligated), at its option, to either (i) endorse the date and amount of each
Advance made by such Lender and each payment of principal of Advances made on
such Lender's Note on a schedule annexed to and constituting a part of such Note
or (ii) record such Advances and payments in its books and records, and such
schedule or such books and records, as the case may be, shall constitute prima
facie evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein.
SECTION 2.04. Fees. (a) Closing Fees. On the Closing Date, the Borrower
will pay to the Agent, for account of the Lenders, the closing fees described in
Schedule 2.04(a).
(b) Commitment Fees. On the first day of each Quarter, commencing July 1,
1996 and continuing thereafter until the Facility Amount is permanently reduced
to zero, and on the Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for
the account of the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, a
commitment fee computed by applying the Commitment Fee Rate to the difference,
from day to day in the prior Quarter or partial Quarter, as the case may be,
between (i) the sum of (A) the then Facility Amount and (B) the then Purchasers'
Aggregate Net Investment, less (ii) the then Outstanding Revolving Credit.
(c) Letter of Credit Fees. On the first day of each Quarter, commencing
July 1, 1996 and continuing thereafter until the Facility Amount and Unfunded LC
Exposure have both been reduced to zero, and on the Termination Date, the
Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance
with their Pro Rata Shares a letter of credit fee computed by applying the LC
Fee Rate to the Unfunded LC Exposure from day to day in the prior Quarter or
partial Quarter, as the case may be.
(d) Facing Fees. On the first day of each Quarter, commencing July 1, 1996
and continuing thereafter until the Facility Amount and Unfunded LC Exposure
have both been reduced to zero, and on the Termination Date, the Borrower shall
pay to the Agent for the account of the LC Bank a facing fee computed by
applying 0.125% per annum to the Unfunded LC Exposure from day to day in the
prior Quarter or partial Quarter, as the case may be.
(e) Letter of Credit Administration. The Borrower shall pay the LC Bank's
usual and customary charges for opening, amending or honoring any Letter of
Credit and for any wire transfers.
(f) Agent's Fees. The Borrower shall pay when due all fees payable under
the Fee Letter.
(g) Contingent Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account
of the Lenders, when due the contingent fees payable under the Fee Letter.
33
SECTION 2.05. Voluntary and Scheduled Facility Reductions. (a) The Borrower
at any time may terminate in whole, and from time to time may reduce ratably in
part, the unused portions of the commitments of the Lenders to extend credit
hereunder, by giving the Agent at least three Business Days' prior written
notice that, effective as of a Business Day set forth in the notice, the
Facility Amount shall be reduced by an amount that (i) does not exceed the Loan
Availability as of such Business Day and (ii) is equal to either (A) the then
Facility Amount or (B) an integral multiple of $1,000,000. Such notice, once
given, shall be irrevocable, and the Facility Amount, once reduced, may not be
increased under any circumstances.
(b) The Facility Amount shall be automatically and permanently reduced (i)
on June 30, 2000 to $560,000,000, (ii) on June 30, 2001 to $315,000,000 and
(iii) on the Termination Date as provided in Section 2.06(a) below.
SECTION 2.06. Principal Payments. The Borrower agrees to repay the Advances
and reduce the Facility Amount as follows:
(a) Final Maturity. On the Termination Date, all outstanding Advances
shall be due and payable and the Facility Amount and LC Subcommitment shall
be automatically and permanently reduced to zero.
(b) Excess Revolving Credit Exposure. If at any time, by reason of any
voluntary or mandatory Facility Reduction or for any other reason, the
Outstanding Revolving Credit exceeds the then Facility Amount, the Borrower
shall immediately, without notice or demand, repay Advances or, if no
Advances are outstanding, deposit Dollars to the XX Xxxx Collateral
Account, in an amount equal to such excess.
(c) Excess LC Exposure. If at any time, by reason of any voluntary or
mandatory Facility Reduction or for any other reason, the LC Exposure
exceeds the then LC Subcommitment, the Borrower shall immediately deposit
Dollars in an amount equal to such excess to the XX Xxxx Collateral
Account.
(d) Payment on Date of Change of Control. If, within the period
commencing on the date of a Change of Control and ending 30 Business Days
after the Borrower gives the Agent written notice of such Change of
Control, the Requisite Lenders shall demand in writing that the Borrower
repay all Advances, then on the 30th day following such demand (i) all
Advances then outstanding shall be due and payable in full, and (ii) the
Facility Amount and the LC Subcommitment shall be automatically and
permanently reduced to zero; and if any LC Exposure remains outstanding on
such day the Borrower on such day shall deposit Dollars to the XX Xxxx
Collateral Account as necessary to cause the amount on deposit therein to
be equal to the then LC Exposure.
34
(e) Facility Reduction for Receivables Sale Program. Whenever any
Receivables Sale Program is in effect, the Facility Amount shall be reduced
(but in no event by more than $100,000,000) by an amount equal to the
Purchasers' Aggregate Net Investment, as certified from time to time
pursuant to Section 5.02(c)(xv) or 5.02(c)(xvi) for as long, but only for
as long, as the Receivables Sale Program is in effect. If after giving
effect to any such reduction the Outstanding Revolving Credit exceeds the
reduced Facility Amount, prepayment shall be made pursuant to Section
2.06(b) when such reduction becomes effective.
(f) Application of XX Xxxx Collateral. With respect to Dollars
deposited to the XX Xxxx Collateral Account:
(i) At any time when no Event of Default or Potential Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Agent may (and shall, if so directed
in writing by the Borrower or the Requisite Lenders) cause such
deposit to be applied to repay any or all Funded LC Exposure, in any
order of application;
(ii) Whenever any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Agent may (and shall if so directed in writing by the
Requisite Lenders) cause such deposit to be applied to repay or retire
any or all of the Obligations, whether or not then due, in any order
of application;
(iii) If at any time when no Event of Default or Potential
Default is continuing the Dollars on deposit in the XX Xxxx Collateral
Account exceed the then LC Exposure, the Agent shall, if so directed
in writing by the Borrower, cause such deposit to be released to the
Borrower to the extent, but only to the extent, such deposit exceeds
the then LC Exposure; and
(iv) Interest shall accrue and be payable on deposits to the XX
Xxxx Collateral Account.
SECTION 2.07. Interest. The Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Advance made by each Lender (or, in the case of an
Advance made pursuant to Section 2.02(c), by the LC Bank) from the date of such
Advance until such principal amount shall be repaid in full, at the following
rates per annum:
(a) Base Rate Advances. Whenever such Advance is a Base Rate Advance,
a rate per annum equal on each day to the sum of the Base Rate as in effect
on such day plus the Base Rate Margin determined for such day, with all
such interest accrued in any one month payable monthly on the first day of
the next following month and in any case when the Facility Amount has been
reduced to zero and all Advances are repaid in full.
35
(b) Eurodollar Rate Advances. Whenever such Advance is a Eurodollar
Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal on each day during the Interest Period
for such Eurodollar Rate Advance to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period plus the Eurodollar Rate Margin determined for such day,
with all interest so accrued payable on the last day of such Interest
Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three
months, on the day which occurs three months after the first day of such
Interest Period.
(c) Default Interest. For any period of time during which an Event of
Default under Xxxxxxx 0.00(x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x),
(x) (with respect to Material Subsidiaries only) or (m) has occurred and is
continuing, the principal amount of all Advances then outstanding shall
bear interest payable upon demand at a rate per annum equal to the sum of
(i) 2.0% per annum plus (ii) the rate otherwise payable pursuant to
subsection (a) or (b) above, but not to exceed the maximum rate permitted
by applicable law.
SECTION 2.08. Additional Interest on Eurodollar Rate Advances. The Borrower
shall pay each Lender additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each
Advance of such Lender for each day that such Advance is outstanding as a
Eurodollar Rate Advance, at a rate per annum equal to the remainder obtained by
subtracting (i) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Eurodollar
Rate Advance from (ii) the rate determined by dividing such Eurodollar Rate by a
percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such
Lender for such day. Such additional interest shall be determined by such
Lender, notified to the Borrower through the Agent and payable when and as
interest is payable on such Eurodollar Rate Advance or, if later, five Business
Days after the Borrower receives notice thereof. If the Borrower so requests,
such Lender shall provide the Borrower through the Agent a certificate setting
forth the calculation and supporting information for such additional interest,
which shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.09. Interest Rate Determination and Protection. (a) Determination
of Eurodollar Rate. The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar
Rate Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing shall be determined by the
Agent on the basis of applicable rates furnished to and received by the Agent
from the Reference Banks two Business Days before the first day of such Interest
Period.
(b) Notice of Eurodollar Rate. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the
Borrower and the Lenders of the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period when
determined by the Agent.
(c) Failure to Provide Information. If any one of the Reference Banks does
not furnish to the Agent timely information sufficient to enable the Agent to
determine a Eurodollar Rate, the Agent shall determine such interest rate on the
basis of timely information
36
furnished by the remaining Reference Banks. If fewer than two Reference Banks
furnish timely information to the Agent for determining the Eurodollar Rate for
any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate
based on information furnished by Citibank. If Citibank is unable to obtain
timely information for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Rate
Advances, the Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the
interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Rate Advances and the
obligation of the Lenders to make or continue, or to convert Advances into,
Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the
Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no
longer exist.
(d) Suspension of Eurodollar Rate Advances. If, with respect to any
Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Requisite Lenders notify the Agent that either (i)
the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances is
at least two basis points less than the cost to such Lenders of obtaining funds
in Dollars in the London interbank market in the amounts substantially equal to
such Lenders' Eurodollar Rate Advances and for a period equal to such Interest
Period or (ii) funding is not available to such Lenders in such market in
Dollars, then the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders
and thereupon (A) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last
day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Base Rate
Advance, and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to make or continue, or to
convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing
such suspension no longer exist.
(e) Failure to Specify Duration. If the Borrower fails, prior to the date
the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period is determined by the Agent, to
specify the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances,
the Interest Period shall be one month.
(f) Agent's Determination Conclusive. Each determination by the Agent of an
interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.
SECTION 2.10. Voluntary Conversion of Advances. (a) Notice of
Continuance/Conversion. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.09 and 2.14, the
Borrower may on any Business Day, by giving the Agent a Notice of
Continuance/Conversion not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the
third preceding Business Day, (i) convert Base Rate Advances comprising the same
Borrowing into Eurodollar Rate Advances, (ii) convert Eurodollar Rate Advances
comprising the same Borrowing into Base Rate Advances or (iii) continue
Eurodollar Rate Advances as Eurodollar Rate Advances, but (A) the Borrower may
convert a Eurodollar Rate Advance into a Base Rate Advance only on the last day
of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advance, (B) the Borrower may
continue a Eurodollar Rate Advance as a Eurodollar Rate Advance only as of the
last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advance, and (C) no
Advance may be converted into or continued as a
37
Eurodollar Rate Advance at any time when an Event of Default or Potential
Default has occurred and is continuing.
(b) Telephonic Notice. In lieu of delivering a Notice of
Continuance/Conversion, the Borrower may give the Agent telephonic notice of any
proposed conversion or continuance by the time required under Section 2.10(a)
and in such event shall promptly (but in no event later than the date of the
requested conversion or continuance) deliver a confirmatory Notice of
Continuance/Conversion to the Agent. If the telephonic request differs in any
respect from the written Notice of Continuance/Conversion subsequently
furnished, the telephonic request shall govern as to the terms of such notice.
The Agent's determination of the contents of any telephonic request shall,
absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
(c) Requirements. Each Notice of Continuance/Conversion or telephonic
request shall specify (i) the date of the continuance or conversion, (ii) the
Advances to be converted or continued and (iii) when Advances are converted into
or continued as Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the Interest Period
for such Advances.
(d) Base Rate Advances. Unless a Eurodollar Rate has been determined for a
particular Advance and applies to such Advance on a particular day in accordance
with the provisions hereof, such Advance shall be a Base Rate Advance and shall
accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Advances.
SECTION 2.11. Prepayments. The Borrower from time to time may prepay,
without premium or penalty, the outstanding principal amounts of Advances
comprising part of the same Borrowing, in whole or ratably in part, so long as
(i) the Borrower gives one Business Day's prior written notice to the Agent
stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, (ii)
each partial prepayment is made in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000
or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, (iii) if any Eurodollar
Rate Advance is paid prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such
Advances, all unpaid interest accrued to the date of prepayment on the principal
amount prepaid and all Breakage Costs incurred as a result of the prepayment are
also paid, and (iv) all unpaid interest accrued to the date of prepayment is
paid concurrently with any prepayment in full. Notice of prepayment, once given,
shall be irrevocable, and the amount of the prepayment specified in the notice
shall accordingly be due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein.
SECTION 2.12. Funding Losses. If (i) any Eurodollar Rate Advance is repaid
or converted to a Base Rate Advance on any day other than the last day of an
Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advance (whether as a result of any
optional prepayment, mandatory prepayment, payment upon acceleration, mandatory
conversion or otherwise), (ii) the Borrower fails to borrow any Eurodollar Rate
Advance in accordance with a Notice of Borrowing or a telephonic request
delivered to the Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any
38
applicable conditions or otherwise), (iii) any Base Rate Advance is not
converted into a Eurodollar Rate Advance or any Eurodollar Rate Advance is not
continued as a Eurodollar Rate Advance in accordance with a Notice of
Continuance/Conversion or telephonic request delivered to the Agent (whether as
a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise), or
(iv) the Borrower fails to make any prepayment in accordance with any notice of
prepayment delivered to the Agent, the Borrower shall, upon demand by any
Lender, reimburse such Lender for all costs and losses incurred by such Lender
as a result of such repayment, prepayment or failure ("BREAKAGE COSTS"),
including costs and losses incurred by a Lender as a result of funding
arrangements or contracts entered into by such Lender to fund Eurodollar Rate
Advances. Breakage Costs shall be payable only if demanded within 90 days after
the end of the applicable Interest Period and shall be due 30 days after demand.
Demand shall be made by delivery to the Borrower and the Agent of a certificate
of the Lender making the demand, setting forth in reasonable detail the
calculation of the Breakage Costs for which demand is made. Such certificate
shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the
Borrower.
SECTION 2.13. Increased Costs. (a) Increase in Cost. If, due to either (i)
the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or
increase of reserve requirements, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances,
included in the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation
of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request
from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the
force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender or any
participant under Section 8.07(e) of agreeing to make or making, funding or
maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances, then the Borrower shall from time to time
pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender or participant additional
amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or participant for such increased
cost. Such costs shall be payable only if demanded within six months after they
were incurred and shall be due 30 days after demand. Demand shall be made by
delivery to the Borrower and the Agent of a certificate of the Lender or
participant making the demand, setting forth in reasonable detail the
calculation of the costs for which demand is made. Such certificate shall, in
the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.
(b) Increase in Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that
compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of
law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that
the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such
Lender's commitment to lend or funding hereunder and other commitments or
funding of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall,
within 30 days after demand from time to time by such Lender, pay to the Agent
for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such
Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent
that such Lender determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the
existence of such Lender's commitment to lend or funding hereunder. Demand for
such payment may be made at any time but must be made in writing, with a copy to
the Agent. No
39
such compensation may be demanded as to increased capital maintained by a Lender
more than 12 months before compensation was first demanded by such Lender under
this Section 2.13(b). Demand for such compensation shall be made by delivery to
the Borrower and the Agent of a certificate of the Lender making the demand,
setting forth the amount demanded. Such certificate shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.
(c) Replacement Lenders and Participants. If, and on each occasion that,
(i) a Lender or a participant under Section 8.07(e) makes a demand for
compensation pursuant to Section 2.08, Section 2.13(a) or Section 2.13(b) with
respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances or (ii) a Lender is excused from funding
Eurodollar Rate Advances pursuant to Section 2.14 or (iii) Taxes are required,
pursuant to Section 2.16(a), to be deducted from or with respect to any amount
payable to any Lender or the Agent, the Borrower may in whole permanently
replace such Lender or participant, as the case may be, with an Eligible
Assignee willing to become a Lender hereunder, on the following terms:
(A) The replacement Lender must be satisfactory to the LC Bank in its
reasonable discretion;
(B) The Borrower shall give the Agent and the Lender or participant
being replaced at least five Business Days' prior written notice of the
replacement. The notice must be given within 180 days after the date of the
event specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, as the case may be,
pursuant to which such replacement is made, and must state the day (which
must be a Business Day not more than 10 days after the notice is given) on
which the replacement will be effective.
(C) On the effective date of the replacement, (1) the replacement
Lender shall purchase the Advances owed to such replaced Lender or
participant for a purchase price equal to the principal amount thereof and
all interest accrued thereon as of such effective date, payable in cash on
such effective date, (2) an Assignment and Acceptance covering such
Advances shall be delivered to the replacement Lender by the Lender being
replaced or by the participant being replaced and the Lender from which it
holds its participation, and (3) the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for
the account of the replaced Lender or participant all Breakage Costs
resulting from the replacement and all additional interest, fees,
compensation, costs, losses, taxes, expense reimbursements, indemnities and
other Obligations due to the Lender or participant being replaced.
(D) The Borrower will remain liable to each replaced Lender or
participant for all Obligations that survive the repayment of the Advances.
SECTION 2.14. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful,
or any central bank or other
40
Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its
Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make
Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances
hereunder, then (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or continue, or to
convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing
such suspension no longer exist, and (ii) the Borrower shall forthwith either
(A) prepay in full all Eurodollar Rate Advances of such Lender then outstanding,
together with interest accrued thereon and Breakage Costs related thereto or (B)
convert all Eurodollar Rate Advances of such Lender then outstanding into Base
Rate Advances and pay all interest accrued thereon to the date of conversion and
all Breakage Costs related thereto.
SECTION 2.15. Payments and Computations. (a) Payments. The Borrower shall
make each payment hereunder and under the Notes not later than 11:00 a.m. (New
York City time) on the day payment is due, in Dollars received by the Agent at
its address referred to in Section 8.02 in same day funds. Any payment due to a
Lender shall be paid to the Agent for account of such Lender. When the Agent
receives a payment for account of a Lender, the Agent will promptly cause like
funds to be distributed to such Lender for account of its Applicable Lending
Office.
(b) Charging of Accounts. If and to the extent any payment owed to the
Agent or any Lender is not made within three Business Days after the date it was
due hereunder or under the Note held by such Lender, the Borrower hereby
authorizes the Agent and such Lender to setoff and charge any amount so due
against any deposit account maintained by the Borrower with the Agent or such
Lender, whether or not the deposit therein is then due.
(c) Computations. All computations of interest, additional interest and
fees accruing at a per annum rate shall be made on the basis of the actual
number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in
the period for which such interest, additional interest or commitment fees are
payable and a year of 360 days.
(d) Payment on Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the
Notes is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on
the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included
in the computation of interest or fees. If, however, such extension would cause
payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in
the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next
preceding Business Day.
(e) Presumption of Payment. Unless the Agent receives notice from the
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in
full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to
the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an
41
amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the
Borrower does not make such payment to the Agent in full when due, each Lender
shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such
Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount
was distributed to such Lender until the Business Day such Lender repays such
amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate until the third Business Day
after such demand and thereafter at the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances.
SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) Net Payments. Any and all payments by the Borrower
hereunder or under the Notes shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in
the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on its net income, and
franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such
Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political
subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its net
income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender's
Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities, collectively, are "TAXES"). If the Borrower is required by law to
deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any
Note to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may
be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Lender or
the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received if no such deductions had been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such
deductions, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
law.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any
present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property
taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or
under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise
similarly with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document
("OTHER TAXES").
(c) Indemnification. The Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Agent
for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.16) paid by
such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses, but excluding any liability arising from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally asserted. Payment under this indemnity shall be due 30 days after
written demand therefor. Any Person entitled to indemnification by the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 2.16(c) shall give the Borrower written notice of any
matter which such Person has determined has given rise to a right of
indemnification hereunder within 120 days after the earlier of (i) the date on
which such Person makes payment of the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such
right or
42
(ii) the date on which such Person receives written demand for payment of such
Taxes or Other Taxes from the applicable Governmental Authority; provided,
however, that the failure by any Person timely to provide such notice (A) shall
not release the Borrower from any of its obligations under this Section 2.16(c)
except to the extent the Borrower is materially prejudiced by such failure, or
such notice was provided more than 240 days after the latest date such notice
could have been timely given, and (B) shall not relieve the Borrower from any
other obligation or liability that it may have to such Person otherwise than
under this Section 2.16(c).
(d) Evidence of Payments. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of
Taxes hereunder by the Borrower, the Borrower will furnish to the Agent, at its
address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of any
receipt issued to the Borrower evidencing payment thereof.
(e) Withholding Tax Exemption. If any Lender is a "foreign person" within
the meaning of the Code, such Lender shall deliver to the Agent (i) (A) if such
Lender qualifies for an exemption from, or a reduction of, United States
withholding tax under a tax treaty, a properly completed and executed Internal
Revenue Service Form 1001 (or applicable successor form) before the payment of
any interest in the first calendar year and in each third succeeding calendar
year during which interest may be paid under this Agreement, (B) if such Lender
qualifies for an exemption from United States withholding tax for interest paid
under this Agreement because it is effectively connected with a United States
trade or business of such Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 (or applicable successor form) before the
payment of any interest is due in the first taxable year of such Lender, and in
each succeeding taxable year of such Lender, during which interest may be paid
under this Agreement, or (C) if such Lender is not a "bank" as defined in
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a properly completed and executed Internal
Revenue Service Form W- 8 (or applicable successor form) before the payment of
any interest is due in the first taxable year of such Lender, and in each
succeeding taxable year of such Lender, during which interest may be paid under
this Agreement, certifying that such Lender is a foreign corporation,
partnership, estate or trust, together with a certificate of a duly authorized
officer representing that such Lender is not a "bank" for purposes of Section
881(c) of the Code, is not a 10% shareholder (within the meaning of Section
871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign
corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of
the Code), and (ii) such other form or forms as may be required or reasonably
requested by the Agent to establish or substantiate exemption from, or reduction
of, United States withholding tax under the Code or other laws of the United
States. Each Lender agrees to notify the Agent of any change in circumstances
which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. If any
form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of
information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and
information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service Form 1001,
4224 or W-8 (or applicable successor forms) (or the related certificate
described above), that the Lender reasonably considers
43
to be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and
shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential
information.
(f) Withholding Taxes. Where any Lender which is a "foreign person" is
entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Agent may
withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the
applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the
forms or other documentation required by Section 2.16(e) are not delivered to
the Agent, then the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender
not providing such forms or other documentation, an amount equivalent to the
applicable withholding tax.
(g) Indemnification of the Agent. If the Internal Revenue Service or any
authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the
Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of
any Lender which is a "foreign person" (because the appropriate form was not
delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify
the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or
reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender
shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by
the Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with
all reasonable expenses incurred, including reasonable legal expenses and
allocated staff costs and any other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
(h) Subsequent Lenders. For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term
"Lender" shall include any assignee pursuant to, and after compliance with the
requirements of, Section 8.07; provided that no Person acquiring any
participation pursuant to Section 8.07(e) shall be deemed a "Lender" for
purposes of this Section 2.16 unless and until the Borrower has been notified of
such participation. If any Lender grants participations in or otherwise
transfers its rights under this Agreement, the participant or transferee shall
be bound by the terms of Sections 2.16(e), (f) and (g) as though it were such
Lender.
(i) Refund, Deduction or Credit of Taxes. If any Lender determines, in its
sole good faith discretion, that it has actually and finally realized, by reason
of a refund, deduction or credit of any Taxes paid or reimbursed by the Borrower
pursuant to subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of payments under the
Loan Documents, a current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have
obtained, and that would result in the total payments under this Section 2.16
exceeding the amount needed to make such Lender whole, such Lender shall pay to
the Borrower, with reasonable promptness following the date on which it actually
realizes such benefit, an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such
benefit or the amount of such excess, in each case net of all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses in securing such refund, deduction or credit.
44
(j) Exclusion of Certain Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount hereunder to any
Lender or the Agent in respect of any Taxes to the extent that, on the date
hereof or any other date such Lender became a party to (or participant with
respect to) this Agreement or (with respect to payments to an Applicable Lending
Office) the date such Lender designated such Applicable Lending Office with
respect to this Agreement or any Notes, the obligation to withhold or pay such
Taxes existed or would exist upon the payment of an amount by the Borrower under
this Agreement or any Note; provided, however, that this paragraph shall not
apply (i) to any Lender or Applicable Lending Office that became a Lender or
Applicable Lending Office as a result of an assignment, transfer, or designation
made at the request of the Borrower, or (ii) to the extent that the amount
otherwise payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16 to any Lender
that is an assignee pursuant to (and in compliance with the requirements of)
Section 8.07 does not exceed the amount that would have been payable under this
Section 2.16 to the assigning Lender in the absence of such assignment.
(k) Additional Cooperation. Any Lender claiming any amount pursuant this
Section 2.16 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory
restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the
Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of such Lender's Applicable Lending
Office if such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount
payable by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 and would not, in the good-faith
determination of such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.
SECTION 2.17. Sharing of Payments. If after the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether
voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or
otherwise) on account of any Advances owed to it in excess of its Pro Rata Share
of all such payments, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other
Lenders such participations in the Advances made by them as shall be necessary
to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of
them. If all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from
such purchasing Lender, such purchase from the other Lenders shall be rescinded
and each such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase
price to the extent of its allocable share of such recovery together with its
allocable share of any interest required to be paid by the purchasing Lender on
the amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender purchasing a
participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, exercise collection rights (including the right
of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
SECTION 4.01. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. The Borrower
represents and warrants as follows:
(a) Organization. Each Loan Party is a corporation or partnership duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing (except where the failure
of one or more Loan Parties, other than the Borrower and its Material
Subsidiaries, to be in good standing after the Closing Date could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change) under the
laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and is duly qualified to
do business in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties or
the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary.
(b) Power and Authority. Each Loan Party has the corporate or
partnership power (i) to carry on its business as now being conducted and
as proposed to be conducted by it, (ii) to execute, deliver and perform
each Loan Document to which it is a party, and (iii) to take all action

(i) its certificate or articles of incorporation (or, in case of a
partnership, governing agreements) or (ii) any law or any indenture, lease

capital stock of or other equity, ownership or profit interest in any such
Subsidiary is subject to issuance or sale under any warrant, option or
purchase right, conversion or exchange right, call, commitment or claim of
any right, title or interest therein or thereto. The outstanding capital
stock of each such Subsidiary is duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and is not "margin stock," as that term is defined

liability in excess of $5,000,000 individually or $30,000,000 in the
aggregate in the case of two or more related actions or proceedings. Except
as identified on Schedule 4.01(k), there is no pending or overtly
threatened action or proceeding affecting any Loan Party before any court,
governmental agency or arbitrator, which would, if adversely determined,

Document.
(l) No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan
Party of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party do not and will
not (i) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with or

issued by any Loan Party or enforceable against it or any of its property
or assets, except under immaterial agreements for supplies or services

applicable laws and all requirements of Governmental Authorities having
jurisdiction over such Loan Party or over any part of its operations; (B)

default in any material respect under, or in violation in any material
respect of, any such Health Care Permit (and to the best knowledge of the

thereunder or violation thereof) that has caused or could reasonably be
expected to cause the loss of any such Health Care Permit; (D) neither the
Borrower nor any other Loan Party has received any notice of any violation
of applicable laws which has caused or could reasonably be expected to
cause any such Health Care Permit to be modified (except for modifications
not amounting to a Material Adverse Change), rescinded or revoked; (E) to
the best knowledge of the Borrower, no condition exists or event has
occurred which could reasonably be expected to result in the suspension,
revocation, impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal of such Health Care
Permit; and (F) the continuation, validity and effectiveness of all such
Health
53
Care Permits will not in any way be adversely affected by the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, except that the exercise by the Agent of
its rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral is subject to the
licensing power of health care regulatory authorities.
(ii) Except as permitted pursuant to Section 5.02(k) and Section
5.03(n), all Health Care Facilities owned, leased, managed or operated by

Plans which is subject to Title IV of ERISA has any material Unfunded
Pension Liability as to which the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate is or may

ERISA with respect to any
54
Multiemployer Plan; (C) no ERISA Event has occurred or, to the best
knowledge of the Borrower, is reasonably expected to occur; and (D) neither

times.
(v) Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged, directly
or indirectly, in a prohibited transaction (as defined in Section 4975 of
the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) for which no statutory or administrative
exemption is applicable in connection with any Plan the consequences of

of its financial statements delivered hereunder, to all of its material
assets reflected therein, except assets leased to it under a Capital Lease,

(u) Collateral Documents. On and after the Closing Date and, with
respect to perfection upon the filing of the financing statements delivered

its contribution requirements under Section 412(c)(11) of the Code, whether
or not it has sought a waiver under Section 412(d) of the Code; or (ii) in
the case of an ERISA Event involving the withdrawal from a Pension Plan of
a "substantial employer" (as defined in Section 4001(a)(2) or Section
4062(e) of ERISA), the withdrawing employer's proportionate share of that
Pension Plan's Unfunded Pension Liabilities is more than $2,000,000; or
(iii) in the case of an ERISA Event involving the complete or partial
withdrawal from a Multiemployer Plan, the withdrawing employer incurs a
withdrawal liability in an aggregate amount exceeding $2,000,000; or (iv) a

loses its qualification, and with respect to such loss of qualification,
the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate can reasonably be expected to be
required to pay (for additional taxes, payments to or on behalf of Plan
participants, or otherwise) an aggregate amount exceeding $2,000,000; or
(v) any combination of events listed in clauses (ii) through (iv) occurs
that involves a net increase in aggregate Unfunded Pension Liabilities and
unfunded liabilities in excess of $5,000,000;

consent, of the Requisite Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the
obligation of each Lender to make Advances and the obligation of the LC Bank to
issue Letters of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith
terminate and the Facility Amount and LC Subcommitment shall be automatically
and permanently reduced to zero, and (B) shall at the request, or may with the
consent, of the Requisite Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the
Advances and all fixed and contingent obligations of the Borrower to reimburse

Credit, together with all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under
this Agreement, to be immediately due and payable, and thereupon the Advances
and all such fixed and contingent reimbursement obligations, interest and other
81
amounts shall become and be immediately due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrower; provided, however, that if an order for relief under the

ARTICLE VII
THE AGENT
SECTION 7.01. Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and
authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms
hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to
any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including enforcement
or collection of the Notes), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any
discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from
acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting)
upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, and such instructions shall be
binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the
Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to
personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The
Agent shall not be liable to any Lender if, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, it takes or omits to take any action pursuant to the instructions of
the Requisite Lenders. The Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of
each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
The Agent agrees to perform and discharge the duties and powers delegated to it
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof.
SECTION 7.02. Agent Not Liable. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors,
officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to
be taken by it or any of them under or in connection with this Agreement, except
for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Agent
82
(i) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Agent
receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such
payee and including the agreement of the assignee or transferee to be bound
hereby as it would have been if it had been an original Lender party hereto, in
form satisfactory to the Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including
counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts
selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender
and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or
representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this
Agreement; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the
performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement on the part of the Borrower or to inspect the property (including the
books and records) of the Borrower; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender
for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant to any Loan Document or for the
creation, validity, enforceability, sufficiency, value, perfection or priority
of any Lien purported to be granted to the Agent, whether pursuant to any of the
Collateral Documents or otherwise; and (vi) shall incur no liability under or in
respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or
other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier, telegram, cable or
telex) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and signed or sent by the
proper party or parties.
SECTION 7.03. Rights as Lender. With respect to its commitment and Pro Rata
Share hereunder, the Advances and Notes held by it and all other rights, claims
and interests accorded it as Lender, Citibank shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not the Agent; and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall include
Citibank in its individual capacity. Citibank and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally
engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries and
any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any
such Subsidiary, all as if Citibank were not the Agent and without any duty to
account therefor to the Lenders. Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and
generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any of its
Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the
Borrower or any such Subsidiary, all as if such Lender were not a Lender
hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders.
SECTION 7.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based
on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(h) and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or
any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it deems
83
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement.
SECTION 7.05. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to
the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) ratably according to their Pro Rata
Shares from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable
for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the
Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing,
each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable
share of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, modification, amendment, protection or enforcement (whether
through negotiations, by legal proceedings, in bankruptcy or otherwise) of, or
legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for
such expenses by the Borrower.
SECTION 7.06. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed at any
time with or without cause by the Requisite Lenders. Upon any such resignation
or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall, subject to the written consent of the
Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, have the
right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so
appointed by the Requisite Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment,
within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the
Requisite Lenders' removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may,
on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial
bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State
and having total assets of at least $20,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent's
resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article VII
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was Agent under this Agreement.
SECTION 7.07. Release of Collateral. The Agent is hereby irrevocably
authorized to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon (i) any and
all Collateral when the Facility Amount has been permanently reduced to zero,
all Letters of Credit issued hereunder have expired or been discharged, all
outstanding Advances and LC Exposure have been repaid, and all other Obligations
that are then due and payable and of which the Agent then
84
has written notice demanding payment prior to release of Collateral have been
paid, (ii) any Collateral constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed
of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under Section
5.03(b), or (iii) any Collateral consisting of an instrument evidencing Debt or
other debt instrument, if the indebtedness evidenced thereby has been paid in
full. Upon request by the Agent or the Borrower at any time, each Lender shall
confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release Collateral, or particular
types or items of Collateral, as set forth in this Section 7.07. Subject to
Section 8.01(g), the Agent shall not be obligated to release any Collateral
unless it receives such written confirmation from the Requisite Lenders.
SECTION 7.08. Release of Guarantor upon Sale of Stock. If (i) either (A)
all of the outstanding shares of capital stock and other equity, ownership and
profit interests in any Guarantor are sold to a Person not an Affiliate of the
Borrower in a transaction which is permitted under Section 5.03(b)(iv), Section
5.03(b)(v) or Section 5.03(b)(vi) and which is not a Retained Interest Sale or
(B) the Guarantor Liability Limit of any Guarantor is reduced to zero as part of
a Retained Interest Sale and by reason of a voluntary reduction of the Facility
Amount that is elected by the Borrower at the time and in the manner set forth
in the definition of "Guarantor Liability Limit," and if (ii) the conditions set
forth in Section 5.03(b)(iv), Section 5.03(b)(v) or Section 5.03(b)(vi), as the
case may be, are met in respect of such transaction, then upon request by the
Agent or the Borrower each Lender shall confirm in writing that the liability of
such Guarantor under the Guaranty is released and discharged effective when such
transaction is consummated and such requirements are met, as set forth in
Section 2.13 of the Guaranty. Such confirmation from the Requisite Lenders (1)
shall establish conclusively that the liability of such Guarantor under the
Guaranty is released and discharged as set forth in Section 2.13 of the Guaranty
and (2) may be relied on, without further inquiry, by the purchaser in such
transaction and each of its transferees.

SECTION 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender,
the LC Bank or the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right
under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 8.04. Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the
preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, modification and amendment of the
Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered under the Loan Documents,
including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the
Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent as to its

accountants, advisors and other experts, incurred by the Agent or the Lenders in
respect of any Event of Default or while any Event of Default is continuing or

negotiations, by legal proceedings, in bankruptcy or otherwise) of the
Obligations or the Collateral or any right, remedy, power, interest or claim of
the Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document.
SECTION 8.05. Right of Set-off. Whenever any Event of Default is
continuing, each Lender may at any time or from time to time, with the consent
of the Requisite Lenders but without any prior notice to the Borrower or any
other Person, set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time
or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other debt at any time
owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower,
whether or not then due, and whether or not then fully secured, against any and
all Advances, LC Exposure and other Obligations then owing to such Lender,
whether or not then due. After any such set-off and application is made, the
Lender that made it shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof, but the failure
to do so shall not affect the validity of the set-off and application and shall
not expose such Lender to any liability. The Lenders' right of setoff under this
Section 8.05 is cumulative with and additional to all other rights and remedies
(including other rights of set-off) of the Lenders.
SECTION 8.06. Indemnity. (a) General Indemnity. The Borrower shall pay,
defend, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Agent, their respective Affiliates

liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, charges, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel incurred in
defending any such action or incurred in enforcing this Section 8.06(a)) of any
kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement
and performance of this Agreement and any other Loan Document or the
transactions contemplated herein, and with respect to any investigation,
litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the Advances or the
Letters of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any
Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the
"INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES"), except that the Borrower shall have no obligation
hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities
arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified
Person.
(b) Environmental Indemnity. The Borrower shall pay, defend, indemnify, and
hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
charges, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel and the allocated cost of internal counsel), which may be incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnified Person in connection with or arising out of any
pending or threatened investigation or Environmental Claim arising out of or
related to any acts or omissions or any property of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries. In no event shall any site visit, observation, or testing by the
Agent or any Lender be a representation that Hazardous Materials are or are not
present in, on, or under the site, or that there has been or shall be compliance
with any Environmental Law. Neither the Borrower nor any other party is entitled
to rely on any site visit, observation, or testing by the Agent or any Lender.
Neither the Agent nor any Lender owes any duty of care to protect the Borrower
or any other Person against, or to inform the Borrower or any other Person of,
any adverse condition affecting any site or property.
SECTION 8.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Permitted Assignment.
Each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, but (i) each such assignment
shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of the assigning
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, unless otherwise consented
to by the Agent; (ii) the amount of the commitment and outstanding Advances of
the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined

commitment and outstanding Advances of such Lender, except that an assignment to
an existing Lender may be in an amount less than $5,000,000, (iii) each such
assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, and (iv) the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and
recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note
or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee payable
to the Agent of $2,500. Upon such
88
execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall
be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have
been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights
and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (B) the Lender assignor thereunder
shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by
it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto).
(b) Effect of Assignment. By executing and delivering an Assignment and
Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm
to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto that (i) other than as
provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto or as to the Collateral or the validity,
enforceability, perfection or priority of any Lien upon the Collateral; (ii)
such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the
performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this
Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii)
such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together
with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(h) and such
other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv)
such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such
assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information
as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee
confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and
authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms
hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; (vii)
such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of
the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be
performed by it as a Lender; and (viii) such assignee confirms and agrees that
it shall have no greater indemnification rights pursuant to Section 2.16(c) than
its Lender assignor.
(c) Maintenance of Agreements. The Agent, acting for this purpose (but only
for this purpose) as the agent of the Borrower (and in such capacity neither the
Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or any of them under or in
connection with this Section 8.07(c), except for its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct), shall maintain at its address referred to in
Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted
by it and a register for
89
the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the commitments
and Pro Rata Shares of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each
Lender from time to time (the "REGISTER"). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the
Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any
Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.
(d) Procedure. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by
an assigning Lender and an assignee Lender representing that it is an Eligible
Assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent
shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in
substantially the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and
Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and
(iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Within five Business Days
after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall
execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a
new Note or Notes to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an aggregate amount
equal to the interest in the surrendered Note or Notes assigned to it pursuant
to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained an
interest in the surrendered Note or Notes, a new Note or Notes to the order of
the assigning Lender in an aggregate amount equal to the interest so retained.
Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the
effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in
substantially the form of Exhibit A.
(e) Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more
banks or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under

the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder
of any such Note or Notes for all purposes of this Agreement, and (iv) the
Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement.
(f) Additional Information. Any Lender may, in connection with any
assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to
this Section 8.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee
or participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such
Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower, but only if the assignee or participant
or proposed assignee or participant is obligated to preserve the confidentiality
of any confidential information relating to the Borrower received by it from
such Lender.
90
(g) Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may assign any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates without notice to or
consent of the Borrower or the Agent, and such Lender or any of its Affiliates
may assign any of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment
of principal and/or interest under the Notes) under this Agreement to any
Federal Reserve Bank without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Agent.
SECTION 8.08. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it
has been executed by the parties hereto and the conditions set forth in Section
3.01 have been satisfied and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to
assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written
consent of each of the Lenders and the Agent. When (and only when) this
Agreement becomes effective, the commitments of the financial institutions that
are party to the Existing Facility to extend credit under the Existing Facility
shall be terminated, but all claims against the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries under or in respect of the Existing Facility, and all Liens
securing any such claim, shall remain in full force and effect until paid and
released as set forth in the payout and release agreement delivered pursuant to
Section 3.01(g).
SECTION 8.09. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of New York. Any legal action or proceeding with
respect to any Loan Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New
York or of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and by
execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Borrower, the Agent and
the Lenders consents, for itself and in respect of its property, to the
jurisdiction of those courts. Each of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders
irrevocably waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue
or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter
have to the bringing of any action or proceeding in such jurisdiction in respect
of any Loan Document. The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders each waive
personal service of any summons, complaint or other process, which may be made
by any other means permitted by New York law.
SECTION 8.10. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE BORROWER, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT
WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION
BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST

To the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders parties to the Revolving
Credit Agreement referred to below
Amendment No. 1 to Revolving Credit Agreement
Consent of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders
-----------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the revolving credit agreement, dated as of May 15,
1996 (the "Credit Agreement"), among Integrated Health Services, Inc. ("IHS"),
Citibank N.A., as administrative agent thereunder (the "Agent"), and the other
financial institutions party thereto, as lenders thereunder. Capitalized terms
used and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as defined in the Credit
Agreement.
First American and IHS have amended the First American Merger Agreement
pursuant to an amendment, dated as of September 9, 1996 (the "Amendment"), and
the plan of reorganization (the "Plan of Reorganization") in the bankruptcy
proceeding of First American in order to incorporate settlements among First
American, the Health Care Financing Administration and the Department of
Justice. The Amendment, among other things, increases the purchase price
potentially payable by IHS in connection with the First American Merger by $35
million, so that the aggregate purchase price could be as high as $312 million.
Copies of the Amendment and the amended Plan of Reorganization have been
provided to you under separate cover.
Pursuant to Section 5.03(c)(xii)(A) of the Credit Agreement, in order for
IHS to consummate the First American Merger pursuant to the First American
Merger Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, and the amended Plan of
Reorganization, (i) the terms and conditions of the Amendment and the amended
Plan of Reorganization must be satisfactory to the Agent in its sole discretion,
and (ii) the terms of the Amendment and the amended Plan of Reorganization
relating to the increase in the aggregate purchase price potentially payable by
IHS in connection therewith must be satisfactory to the Requisite Lenders in
their sole discretion. IHS hereby requests that you consent to the terms and
conditions of the Amendment and the amended Plan of Reorganization and to the
consummation of the First American Merger
2
pursuant to the First American Merger Agreement, as amended by the Amendment,
and the amended Plan of Reorganization.
IHS also hereby requests that you agree (i) to amend the definition of
"Debt" in the Credit Agreement by adding to the end of such definition the
proviso "; provided, however, that the contingent payments which may become
payable in accordance with the First American Merger Agreement, including any
payments made to the Health Care Financing Administration or the Department of
Justice as required under the First American Merger Agreement, in a total amount
not in excess of $162 million, shall not consitute Debt for purposes of this
Agreement"; and (ii) to amend Section 5.03(c)(xii) of the Credit Agreement by
deleting in the fourth line of such section the words "be final and
nonappealable" and inserting in their place the words "have been entered, and
its effectiveness shall not have been stayed or enjoined in any manner,".
Please evidence your acknowledgement of and agreement and consent to the
foregoing by executing and returning not later than close of business on
September 11, 1996 the three counterparts of this Amendment No. 1 and consent
enclosed herewith to Citicorp Securities, Inc., 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx
Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxxx Xxxx. This Amendment No. 1 and consent
shall become effective as of the date first above written when and if

Requisite Lenders and the consent attached hereto shall have been executed by
the Guarantors. This Amendment No. 1 and consent is subject to the provisions of

This Amendment No. 1 and consent may be executed in any number of

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of May 15,

are, on the terms and conditions stated below, willing to grant our request, and
the Requisite Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement as hereinafter
set forth.
Effective as of the date hereof and subject to the satisfaction of the
condition precedents set forth below, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as

amendment or modification of such Merger Agreement after November
8,1996 which increases the Debt assumed
2
thereunder by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the cash
consideration payable by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
in connection therewith in excess of $10,000,000 shall be
satisfactory to the Requisite Lenders in their sole discretion,
(B) at the time of or after giving effect to the Coram Merger, no
Event of Default or Potential Default shall exist or result and
(C) the Borrower shall comply with the provisions of Section
5.02(e), and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor
any of their properties shall be or become bound by or subject to
any contractual obligation that is or would be violated or put in
default by reason of such compliance or by reason of the
enforcement of the claims and Liens of the Agent and the Lenders
arising from such compliance."
(b) Section 5.03(d) is amended by deleting the period at the end of
subsection (v) thereof and substituting therefor "; and" and adding a new
subsection (vi) following such subsection (v) to read as follows:

scheduled principal payments until maturity, and (B) Debt owed by
Coram to MedPartners, Inc. in an aggregate principal amount not

second anniversary of its issuance and bear interest at a rate no
greater that the lesser of (1) 8% per annum or (2) one-half

Requisite Lenders, or as to any of such Lenders, advice satisfactory to the
Agent that such Lender has executed this Amendment, (B) an amendment fee for the
ratable account of each Lender in an aggregate amount equal to .0005 of the

8, 1996 from the
3
Agent to IHS (the "Agent's Letter") and (C) counterparts of the Consent appended
hereto (the "Consent"), executed by each Guarantor. In addition, this Amendment
shall be of no force or effect if (i) the Agent does not receive on or before
the date of the closing of the acquisition of Coram pursuant to the Merger
Agreement an additional fee for the ratable account of each Lender in an
aggregate amount equal to .001375 of the Facility Amount and (ii) the Agent does
not receive the additional fee as set forth in the Agent's Letter by the due

power to execute, deliver and perform this Amendment and the Consent, as
the case may be, and to take all action necessary to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereunder. The execution, delivery and
performance by IHS and each Guarantor of this Amendment and the Consent,
respectively, have been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not
contravene (i) its certificate or articles of incorporation (or, in case of
a partnership, governing agreements) or (ii) any law or any indenture,
lease or written agreement binding on or affecting it.
(c) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to
or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for the due
execution, delivery and performance by IHS or any Guarantor of this
Amendment or the Consent, respectively.

binding obligations of IHS and each Guarantor, respectively, enforceable
against IHS and each Guarantor, respectively, in accordance with their
respective terms subject to laws generally affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights.
Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, on and after the date hereof each
reference in the Credit Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereunder", "hereof" of
words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in
the other Loan Documents to "the Credit Agreement", "thereunder", "thereof" or
words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a
reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. Except as specifically
amended above, the Credit Agreement, and all other Loan Documents, are and shall
continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified
and confirmed. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall
not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right,

March 24, 1997
To the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders parties to the Revolving
Credit Agreement referred to below
Amendment No.3 to Revolving Credit Agreement
--------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of May 15,
1996, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated September 6, 1996 and Amendment No. 2
dated November 8, 1996 (such Revolving Credit Agreement as so amended being the
"Credit Agreement"), among Integrated Health Services, Inc. ("IHS"), Citibank
N.A., as administrative agent thereunder (the "Agent"), and the other financial
institutions party thereto, as lenders thereunder. Capitalized terms used and
not otherwise defined herein are used herein as defined in the Credit Agreement.
IHS has proposed to (i) issue senior subordinated notes in an aggregate
principal amount of up to $450,000,000 and (ii) purchase the indebtedness
outstanding under the 1994 Subordinated Debt Indenture and the 1995 Subordinated
Debt Indenture. In connection with the foregoing, IHS has requested that the
Lenders agree to amend certain covenants contained in Article V of the Credit
Agreement to permit such transactions. We understand that the Requisite Lenders
are, on the terms and conditions stated below, willing to grant our request, and
the Requisite Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement as hereinafter
set forth.
Effective as of the date hereof and subject to the satisfaction of the
condition precedents set forth below, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as
follows:
(a) The definition of "1996 Subordinated Debt Indenture" in Section
1.01 is amended in full to read as follows:
"'1996 SUBORDINATED DEBT INDENTURE' means the Indenture, dated as
of May 15, 1996, between the Borrower, as Issuer, and Signet Trust
Company, as Trustee."
(b) In Section 1.01, the following definition of "1997 Subordinated
Debt Indenture" is added in the appropriate alphabetical order:
2
"'1997 SUBORDINATED DEBT INDENTURE' means the Indenture to be
entered into after April 7, 1997 between the Borrower, as Issuer, and
the trustee thereunder in connection with a proposed senior
subordinated note offering."
(c) The definition of "Subordinated Debt Indentures" in Section 1.01
is amended in full to read as follows:
"'SUBORDINATED DEBT INDENTURES' means the 1992 Convertible
Subordinated Debt Indenture, the 1993 Convertible Subordinated Debt
Indenture, the 1994 Subordinated Debt Indenture, the 1995 Subordinated
Debt Indenture, the 1996 Subordinated Debt Indenture and, upon the
effectiveness thereof, the 1997 Subordinated Debt Indenture"
(d) Section 5.03(d) is amended by deleting the period at the end of
subsection (v) thereof and substituting therefor "; and" and adding a new
subsection (vi) following such subsection (v) to read as follows:
"(vi) Subordinated Debt incurred under the 1997 Subordinated Debt
Indenture in an aggregate principal amount of up to $450,000,000, with
an interest rate not in excess of 10.25%, and any extension, renewal
or refinancing of such Debt so long as either (A) the principal amount
of such Debt is not increased or (B) any increase in the principal
amount of such Debt is permitted pursuant to another clause of this
Section 5.03(d); provided that the terms and conditions of such 1997
Subordinated Debt Indenture shall be (1) substantially similar to the
terms and conditions contained in the 1996 Subordinated Debt Indenture
and (2) satisfactory to the Agent in its sole discretion."
(e) Section 5.03(h)(G) is amended in full to read as follows:
"(G) so long as no Event of Default exists or would result and
unless otherwise prohibited under this Agreement and the 1993
Convertible Subordinated Debt Indenture, the Borrower may pay on
January 1, 2001 any principal amount then due and payable under the
1993 Convertible Subordinated Debt Indenture; and"
(f) Section 5.03(h) is amended by adding a new subsection (H)
following subsection (G) to read as follows:
"(H) purchase by tender or otherwise any or all of the
indebtedness outstanding under the 1994 Subordinated Debt
Indenture and the 1995 Subordinated Debt Indenture for an amount
not in excess of 116% of the principal amount purchased, provided
that the aggregate amount of such purchases cannot be in excess
of the aggregate net proceeds of the Subordinated Debt referred
to in Section 5.03(d)(vi)."
3
This Amendment shall become effective on the date when and only when the
Agent shall have received (A) counterparts of this Amendment executed by IHS and
the Requisite Lenders, or as to any of such Lenders, advice satisfactory to the
Agent that such Lender has executed this Amendment and (B) counterparts of the
Consent appended hereto (the "Consent"), executed by each Guarantor.
IHS represents and warrants as follows:
(a) IHS is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of
Delaware. Each Guarantor is a corporation or partnership duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is
organized.
(b) Each of IHS and each Guarantor has the corporate or partnership
power to execute, deliver and perform this Amendment and the Consent, as
the case may be, and to take all action necessary to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereunder. The execution, delivery and
performance by IHS and each Guarantor of this Amendment and the Consent,
respectively, have been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not
contravene (i) its certificate or articles of incorporation (or, in case of
a partnership, governing agreements) or (ii) any law or any indenture,
lease or written agreement binding on or affecting it.
(c) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to
or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for the due
execution, delivery and performance by IHS or any Guarantor of this
Amendment or the Consent, respectively.
(d) This Amendment and the Consent constitutes legal, valid and
binding obligations of IHS and each Guarantor, respectively, enforceable
against IHS and each Guarantor, respectively, in accordance with their
respective terms subject to laws generally affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights.
(e) The Credit Agreement is a "Credit Agreement" within the meaning of
the 1997 Subordinated Debt Indenture, upon its effectiveness, and the
obligations under the Credit Agreement when incurred will be "Senior
Indebtedness" within the meaning of the 1997 Subordinated Debt Indenture.
Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, on and after the date hereof each
reference in the Credit Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereunder", "hereof" of
words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in
the other Loan Documents to "the Credit Agreement", "thereunder", "thereof" or
words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a
reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. Except as specifically
amended above, the Credit Agreement, and all other Loan Documents, are and shall
continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified
and confirmed. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall
not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right,
power or remedy of any Lender or the Agent under any of the Loan Documents,
4
not constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. This
Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of
the State of New York.
Please evidence your acknowledgement of and agreement to the foregoing by
executing and returning not later than the close of business on April 4, 1997
three counterparts of this Amendment No. 3 to Citicorp Securities, Inc., 000
Xxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxxx Xxxx. This
Amendment No. 3 is subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 of the Credit
Agreement.
This Amendment No. 3 may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
any combination of the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
counterparts shall be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same Amendment No. 3.

July 3, 1997
To the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders parties to the Revolving
Credit Agreement referred to below
Amendment No. 4 to Revolving Credit Agreement
---------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of May 15,
1996, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated September 6, 1996, Amendment No. 2
dated November 8, 1996 and Amendment No. 3 dated March 24, 1997 (such Revolving
Credit Agreement as so amended being the "Credit Agreement"), among Integrated
Health Services, Inc. ("IHS"), Citibank N.A., as administrative agent thereunder
(the "Agent"), and the other financial institutions party thereto, as lenders
thereunder. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein are used
herein as defined in the Credit Agreement.
IHS has proposed to enter into a lease financing facility (the "Synthetic
Lease Facility") pursuant to which one or more of its Subsidiaries will enter
into one or more leases for its headquarters facility and other properties. As
part of such lease financings, IHS and its Subsidiaries (other than Inactive
Subsidiaries) propose to guaranty certain obligations of such Subsidiaries under
such leases and grant a security interest in the Collateral to secure those
guaranties, with such security interest to be pari passu with the security
interest of the Lenders. In addition, IHS has proposed to sell certain assets
which sales require the consent of the Requisite Lenders, to amend the
definition of "Cash Flow from Operations", to amend the Credit Agreement
covenant relating to stock repurchases and to acquire Community Care of America,
Inc. In connection with the foregoing, IHS has requested that the Requisite
Lenders agree to amend certain covenants contained in Article V of the Credit
Agreement and to amend the definition of "Debt/EBITDAR Ratio" to permit such
transactions, to amend Schedule 1.01 (c) to the Credit Agreement and to replace
the Pledge and Security Agreements heretofore executed by IHS or its
Subsidiaries with the Pledge and Security Agreements in the forms attached
hereto. We understand that the Requisite Lenders are, on the terms and
conditions stated below, willing to grant our requests, and the Requisite
Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement as hereinafter set forth.
Effective as of the date hereof and subject to the satisfaction of the
condition precedents set forth below, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as
follows:

other leases to be entered into by Subsidiaries of the Borrower
pursuant to the Participation Agreement to be entered into among the
Borrower, Integrated Health Services at Highlands Park, Inc., IHS
Development - Highlands Park, Inc., State Street Bank and Trust
Company, as Corporate Owner Trustee, an Individual Owner Trustee, the
Certificate Holder party thereto, the Note Holders thereto and
Citibank, N. A., as Agent."

amended in full to read as follows:

sum, determined as of the last day of any Quarter for such Person and
its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for the 12-month period
including such Quarter and the immediately preceding three Quarters
(taken as a single period), of (i) net income after taxes minus any
extraordinary gain and any non-recurring gain on any divestiture and
plus any extraordinary loss and any non-recurring loss on any
divestiture, (ii) depreciation, amortization, and other non-cash
charges deducted in determining net income, (iii) Interest Expense,
(iv) Lease Expense and (v) with respect to Cash Flow from Operations
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries only, Receivables Program

that (A) income attributable to any other Person or business that is
not at least 50% owned, directly or indirectly, by such Person shall
be counted, in determining net income, only to the extent such income
is received in cash by such Person or a subsidiary of such Person in
such period and is not reinvested in such other Person or business
(other than as a loan payable on demand) within six months thereafter,
except that, with respect to the Borrower only, income from minority
Investments existing on the Closing Date and described in Schedule
5.03(c) shall be counted in accordance with the Borrower's past
practice, (B) no adjustments shall be made to reflect minority
interests in subsidiaries and (C) non-recurring cash charges in an

existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured by) any Lien
upon any property of such Person or any Subsidiary of such Person,
except any such obligation secured by a Lien that is imposed by law
and not voluntarily granted; provided, however, that the contingent
payments which may become payable in connection with the First
American Merger, including any payments made to the Health Care
Financing Administration or the Department of Justice as required
under the First American Merger Agreement in a total amount not in

a partnership, governing agreements) or (ii) any law or any indenture,
lease or written agreement binding on or affecting it.
(c) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to

words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in
the other Loan Documents to "the Credit Agreement", "thereunder", "thereof" or

constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. This
8
Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of
the State of New York.
