any one time equal to such Bank's Commitment less such Bank's pro rata share of
any outstanding Letters of Credit. The Loans shall be pro rata in accordance
with each Bank's Commitment Percentage. Each request for Loans hereunder shall
constitute a representation by the Company that the conditions set forth in
Sections5 and 6 hereof, as applicable, have been satisfied on or prior to
the date of such request. The Commitment shall terminate and all outstanding
Loans shall become absolutely due and payable together with any and all accrued
and unpaid interest thereon on the Maturity Date or on such earlier date as the
Commitment is terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Section 2.2. INCREASE OF COMMITMENT AMOUNT; ADDITIONAL BANKS.
(a) From time to time (but no more than two times), the
Company may, upon notice to the Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of
such notice to the Banks), propose to increase the aggregate amount of the
Commitment Amount. Each Bank party to this Agreement at such time shall have the
right (but no obligation), for a period of 15 days following receipt of such
notice, to elect by notice to the Company and the Agent to increase its
Commitment by a principal amount which bears the same ratio to the Increased
Commitment as its then Commitment bears to the aggregate Commitment then
existing. Any Bank not responding within 15 days of receipt of such notice shall
be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.
(b) If any Bank party to this Agreement shall not elect to
increase its Commitment pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section, the Company
may, within 10 days of the Banks' response, designate one or more of the
existing Banks or other financial institutions acceptable to the Agent and the
Company which at the time agree to (i) in the case of any such lender that is an
existing Bank, increase its Commitment and (ii) in the case of any other such
lender (an "Additional Bank"), become a party to this Agreement with a
Commitment of not less than $10,000,000. The sum of the increases in the
Commitments of the existing Banks pursuant to this subsection (b) plus the
Commitments of the Additional Banks shall not in the aggregate exceed the
unsubscribed amount of the Increased Commitments.
(c) Any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section
2.2 shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:
-10-
16
(i) before and after giving effect to such increase, all
representations and warranties contained in Article 4 shall be true;
(ii) at the time of such increase, no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such
increase, and no event shall have occurred and be continuing that with
notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a Default or an Event
of Default; and
(iii) after giving effect to such increase, the aggregate
amount of all increases in Commitments made pursuant to this Section
2.2 shall not exceed $20,000,000.
(d) An increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to
this Section 2.2 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Agent of (i) an
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent signed by the Company,
by each Additional Bank and by each other Bank whose Commitments is to be
increased, setting forth the new Commitments of such Banks and setting forth the
agreement of each Additional Bank to become a party to this Agreement and to be
bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, (ii) Notes duly executed by the
Company, equal in principal amount to the respective amounts of the Commitments
of the Additional Banks and the Banks that increased their Commitments (in which
event the original Notes held by the latter Banks shall be returned to the
Company); (iii) such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part
of the Company with respect to the Increased Commitments and such opinions of
counsel for the Company with respect to the Increased Commitments as the Agent
may reasonably request and (iv such evidence of the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in subsection (c) above as the Agent may reasonably
request.
(e) Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments
pursuant to this Section 2.2, within five Business Days in the case of Base Rate
Loans then outstanding, and at the end of the then current Interest Period with
respect to LIBO Rate Loans then outstanding, the Company shall prepay or repay
such Loans in their entirety and, to the extent the Company elects to do so and
subject to the conditions specified in Article 2, the Company shall reborrow
Loans from the Banks in proportion to their respective Commitments after giving
effect to such increase, until such time as all outstanding Loans are held by
the Banks in such proportion.
Section 2.3. REDUCTION OF COMMITMENT AMOUNT.
(a) The Company may at any time and from time to time upon three (3)
Business Days' written notice to the Agent reduce by at least $1,000,000 or
terminate entirely the unused portion of the Commitment Amount as in effect on
the date of such notice, whereupon the Commitments of the Banks shall be reduced
pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages by the
amount specified in such notice or terminated,
-11-
17
as the case may be. Promptly after receiving any notice of the Company delivered
pursuant to this Section2.3(a), the Agent will notify the Banks of the substance
thereof.
(b) The Commitment Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to fifty
percent (50%) of the proceeds of any equity securities issued by the Company
after the date of this Agreement (net of all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred in connection with such issuance). Such reduction shall be effective on
the date of closing of such issuance, except that if a LIBO Rate Amount or
Adjusted C/D Rate Amount is Outstanding on such date, such reduction shall be
effective on the earlier of 90 days after the closing of such issuance or the
last day of the latest ending Interest Period applicable to any such LIBO Rate
Amount or Adjusted C/D Rate Amount.
(c) If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Loans
outstanding hereunder plus the amount of any Letters of Credit outstanding
hereunder exceeds the Commitment Amount, the Company shall immediately eliminate
such excess by making payments of principal on the Loans or causing such Letters
of Credit to be terminated, or both. Any prepayment of principal of the Loans
shall be accompanied by the payment of the interest accrued hereunder on the
principal prepaid to the date of prepayment.
(d) All payments received by the Agent pursuant to this Section2.3
shall first be applied to Base Rate Amounts of the Loans and, in the event that
the amount of any prepayment exceeds the aggregate outstanding Base Rate Amounts
of the Loans, then such excess shall be applied to the Adjusted C/D Rate Amounts
or LIBO Rate Amounts of the Loans, at the Company's option; provided that any
prepayments applied to the Adjusted C/D Rate Amounts or LIBO Rate Amounts of the
Loans pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be deemed to be optional prepayments
subject to the provisions of Section2.7 hereof.
(e) All payments received by the Agent pursuant to this Section2.3
shall reduce the Loans made by each of the Banks pro rata in accordance with
their respective Commitment Percentages. Each reduction of the Commitment Amount
shall reduce the Commitments of the Banks pro rata in accordance with their
respective Commitment Percentages. Upon the effective date of any reduction or
termination of the Commitment Amount in accordance with this Section2.3, the
Company shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Banks the full
amount of any Commitment Fee then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No
reduction of the Commitments of the Banks shall be subject to reinstatement.
Section 2.4. NOTES.
(a) The Indebtedness of the Company resulting from the Loans made to
the Company shall be evidenced by Notes executed and delivered by the Company to
the Banks on the date of this Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit A
hereto representing the obligation of the Company to pay to each Bank an amount
equal to its Commitment or if
-12-
18
less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans made by such Bank to
the Company hereunder, plus interest accrued thereon.
(b) All Loans made to the Company by the Banks shall be recorded by the
Banks and all payments made on account of principal thereof shall be similarly
recorded. Any failure of the Banks to record a transaction in a timely fashion
shall not affect or impair the validity of any Obligation.
Section2.5. REQUESTS FOR LOANS. Each Loan to the Company comprised of
Base Rate Amounts shall be on notice to the Agent given not later than 3:30 P.M.
(Philadelphia time) on the Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date.
Each Loan to the Company comprised of Adjusted C/D Rate Amounts or LIBO Rate
Amounts shall be on notice to the Agent given not later than 9:00 A.M. (London
time) on the second Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date. Each such
notice shall be by telephone or telecopy, in each case confirmed in writing by
the Company, delivered to the Agent at its address specified from time to time
by the Agent. The Agent shall promptly, but in no event later than 5:00 P.M.
(Philadelphia time) on the requisite Business Day, notify the Banks of the
contents of each such notice.
Each such notice delivered by the Company shall specify the aggregate
principal amount of Loans requested, the proposed Drawdown Dates of the Loans
requested, any Adjusted C/D Amounts or LIBO Rate Amounts of the Loans requested
and the duration of the initial Interest Period(s) applicable to any such
Adjusted C/D Amounts or LIBO Rate Amounts. Each such notice shall obligate the
Company to accept the Loans requested from the Banks on the proposed Drawdown
Date therefor. Each request for a loan made hereunder shall be in a minimum
aggregate amount specified in Section 3.1. The Banks will cause the aggregate
amount of such Loan to be made available to the Company in accordance with the
provisions of Section2.7 hereof.
Section 2.6. INTEREST ON LOANS.
(a) Except as provided in Section3.3 hereof, (i) Base Rate Amounts of
the Loans outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at the Base Rate,
(ii) Adjusted C/D Rate Amounts of the Loans shall bear interest during the
Interest Period relating thereto at the Adjusted C/D Rate, and (iii) LIBO Rate
Amounts of the Loans shall bear interest during the Interest Period relating
thereto at the LIBO Rate. Interest on the Loans shall be payable in accordance
with Section3.1(a) hereof.
(b) Each Applicable Margin will be determined from time to time based
on the ratio of Debt to Total Capital. Upon receipt by the Agent of the
quarterly financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.3,
the Agent shall determine the ratio of Debt to Total Capital as of the end of
the quarter covered by such statements. The Agent shall thereupon determine the
Applicable Margin(s) corresponding to such ratio as set
-13-
19
forth in Schedule 2 hereto. Any adjustment to the Applicable Margin(s) shall
become effective three Business Days following receipt by the Agent of the
financial statements required pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof or, if the Company
fails to provide financial statements within the time period required by Section
7.3 hereof, and such financial statements cause the Applicable Margin(s) to
increase, such adjustment of the Applicable Margin(s) shall become effective
retroactive to the date three Business Days following the date the financial
statements were required under Section 7.3 to be furnished (provided, however,
that the determination of the Applicable Margin(s) in effect as of the Closing
Date shall be based upon the financial statements dated December 31, 1997, and
shall remain in effect until such time as the Agent shall receive more current
financial statements).
Section 2.7. PREPAYMENTS.
The Company shall have the right to repay Adjusted C/D Rate Amounts or
LIBO Rate Amounts of the Loans made to the Company hereunder as a whole or in
part, on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, without premium
or penalty. The Company shall also have the right at any time, upon one (1)
Business Days notice to the Agent, to prepay Base Rate Amounts of the Loans, as
a whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided that each partial
prepayment shall be in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or an integral
multiple thereof. Subject to the conditions of Section2.1 hereof, amounts so
prepaid may be reborrowed. In addition, the Company may, upon three (3) Business
Days written, telegraphic or telephonic notice to the Agent, prepay all, but not
less than all, of the Adjusted C/D Rate Amounts or LIBO Rate Amounts of the
Loans subject to a particular Interest Period on a date other than the last day
of the Interest Period relating thereto; provided, that upon any such prepayment
and upon any other prepayment (by acceleration or otherwise), the Company shall
pay to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Banks, on a pro rata basis,
a sum which shall be determined by the Agent, which determination shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error, in the following manner after each
such payment:
(a) First, the Agent shall determine the amount (the
"Installment Amount") by which (i) the total amount of interest which
would have accrued hereunder on each installment of principal so
prepaid, (calculated on the assumption that the applicable margin for
such principal amount is zero) during the period beginning on the date
of such payment and ending on the last day of the Interest Period
relating thereto (the "Reemployment Period") exceeds (ii) the total
amount of interest which would accrue, during the Reemployment Period,
at the Agent's reinvestment rate, as determined by the Agent in its
sole discretion at or about the time of such payment, on an amount
equal to the Adjusted C/D Rate Amounts or LIBO Rate Amounts so prepaid;
(b) Second, each Installment Amount shall be treated as
payable on the last day of the Interest Period relating to the Adjusted
C/D Rate Amounts or LIBO Rate Amounts prepaid.
-14-
20
(c) Third, the amount to be paid shall be the present value of
the Installment Amount determined by discounting the amount thereof
from the date on which the Installment Amount is to be treated as
payable, at the same annual interest rate as the reinvestment rate
determined as aforesaid by the Agent.
Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section2.6 shall be accompanied by the
payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of prepayment.
Section 2.8. FUNDS FOR LOANS. Each Bank will, upon receiving notice
from the Agent of any request by the Company for Loans pursuant to Section2.5,
become and be obligated to make available to the Agent not later than 3:00 p.m.
(Philadelphia time) on the proposed Drawdown Date, in funds immediately
available for credit to the Company's account at First Union National Bank, an
aggregate amount in dollars equal to such Bank's Commitment Percentage of the
Loan requested. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections5
and 6, as applicable, the Agent will cause the aggregate amount of such funds
actually received by the Agent from the Banks to be credited to the Company's
account. The failure or refusal of any Bank to make available to the Agent at
the aforesaid time on any Drawdown Date the amount of the Loan to be made by
such Bank thereon shall not relieve the other Banks from their several
obligations hereunder to make their respective Commitment Percentages of any
requested Loans.
Section 2A LETTERS OF CREDIT.
Section 2A.1 COMMITMENT TO ISSUE LETTERS OF CREDIT. Subject to and upon
the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may request First Union
National Bank (the "Issuing Bank") at any time and from time to time prior to
the Maturity Date, to issue, and subject to the terms and conditions contained
herein the Issuing Bank shall issue, for the account of the Company, one or more
Letters of Credit in such form as is approved by the Issuing Bank in its sole
discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be
issued the stated amount of which, when added to the Loans outstanding at such
time would exceed the Commitment Amount, (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be
issued the stated amount of which, when added to any other Letters of Credit
outstanding at such time, would exceed $10,000,000, (iii) no Letter of Credit
shall be issued unless the Company shall have first executed and delivered to
the Issuing Bank all Letter of Credit Documents reasonably requested by the
Issuing Bank, and (iv) each of the conditions specified in Section6 (other than
Section6.5) shall have been satisfied on the date of issuance. In addition, no
Letter of Credit shall bear an expiration date later than two years from
issuance, or in any event later than [______________], and no Letter of Credit
shall contain any term or provision that extends the expiration date or
otherwise renews the Letter of Credit without explicit action being taken by the
Issuing Bank.
Section 2A.2 REQUESTS FOR LETTERS OF CREDIT. Whenever the Company
desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the Company shall
give the Issuing Bank at least five
-15-
21
Business Days prior written notice thereof. Each such request shall specify the
amount and purpose of such Letter of Credit. The execution and delivery of each
request for a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation and
warranty by the Company that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance
with, and will not violate the requirements of this Section 2A. Unless the
Issuing Bank has received notice from the Majority Banks before it issues the
Letter of Credit that one or more required conditions are not satisfied or that
the issuance would violate this Section 2A, the Issuing Bank may issue the
requested Letter of Credit in accordance with this Agreement and the Issuing
Bank's usual and customary practices.
Section 2A.3 PRO RATA SHARE, ETC. Immediately upon the issuance by the
Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have
sold and transferred to each Bank (other than the Issuing Bank), and each such
Bank shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and
received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation, to the extent of such Bank's Commitment Percentage,
in such Letter of Credit, each substitute Letter of Credit, each drawing made
thereunder, and the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the Letter
of Credit Documents and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. In
determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall
have no obligation relative to the Banks other than to confirm that any
documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have
been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the
requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken
by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken
or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct, shall not
create for the Issuing Bank any resulting liability to any Bank.
Section 2A.4 BANKS' OBLIGATION TO FUND. In the event that the Issuing
Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Company shall not have
funded or otherwise reimbursed such amount in full in cash to the Issuing Bank
as required by Section2A.5 or the Letter of Credit Documents, the Issuing Bank
shall promptly notify each Bank of such failure, and each Bank shall promptly
and unconditionally pay to the Issuing Bank the amount of such Bank's Commitment
Percentage of such unreimbursed payment and in same day funds. Such payment
shall be made to the Issuing Bank at its address for notices set forth in
Section 15. If prior to 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day the Issuing Bank notifies
any Bank that it has funded or is required to fund a payment under a Letter of
Credit, such Bank shall make its required payment on the same day. If and to the
extent such Bank shall not have made its Commitment Percentage of the amount of
such payment available to the Issuing Bank, such Bank agrees to pay the Issuing
Bank on demand such amount together with interest for each day from such date
until the day such amount is paid to the Issuing Bank at the Federal Funds Rate
plus 50 basis points. The failure of any Bank to make available to the Issuing
Bank its Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall
not relieve any other Bank of its obligation hereunder to make available to the
Issuing Bank its Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit
on the date required, but no Bank shall
-16-
22
be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make available to the
Issuing Bank such other Bank's Commitment Percentage of any such payment. If the
Issuing Bank receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which the
Issuing Bank has received any payments from the Banks pursuant to this Section
2A.4, the Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each Bank which has paid its
Commitment Percentage thereof, an amount equal to such Bank's Commitment
Percentage of such reimbursement. The obligations of the Banks to make payments
to the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and
not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all
circumstances.
Section 2A.5 REIMBURSEMENT BY THE COMPANY. The Company agrees to
reimburse the Issuing Bank in immediately available funds for any payment made
by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of the
Company, all as may be further set forth in the Letter of Credit Documents. In
the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Letter of Credit
Documents, the Letter of Credit Documents shall prevail.
Section 2A.6 LETTER OF CREDIT FEES.
(a) Not later than three Business Days prior to the date of issuance of
each Letter of Credit, the Company shall pay to the Issuing Bank with respect to
such Letter of Credit an issuance fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (1/8%)
on the stated amount thereof. In addition, so long as any Letter of Credit is
outstanding, the Company shall pay a fee to the Issuing Bank, for the respective
accounts of the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment
Percentages, at the applicable rate per annum set forth on Schedule 2 hereto,
calculated on the stated amount of such Letter of Credit. Such fee shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each fiscal quarter,
with a final payment on the expiration date of such Letter of Credit.
(b) Each applicable fee will be determined from time to time based on
the ratio of Debt to Total Capital. Upon receipt by the Agent of the quarterly
financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.3, the Agent
shall determine the ratio of Debt to Total Capital as of the end of the
quarterly period covered by such statements. The Agent shall thereupon determine
the applicable fee corresponding to such ratio as set forth in Schedule 2
hereto. Any adjustment to the applicable fee shall become effective three
Business Days following receipt by the Agent of the financial statements
required pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof or, if the Company fails to provide
financial statements within the time period required by Section 7.3 hereof, and
such financial statements cause the applicable fee to increase, such adjustment
of the applicable fee shall become effective retroactive to the date three
Business Days following the date the financial statements were required under
Section 7.3 to be furnished (provided, however, that the determination of the
applicable fee in effect as of the Closing Date shall be based upon the
financial statements dated December 31, 1997, and shall remain in effect until
such time as the Agent shall receive more current financial statements).

SECTION 3. INTEREST; PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS, FEES.
Section 3.1. INTEREST.
(a) ELECTIONS. At the option of the Company, so long as no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Company may elect from
time to time to have a portion of the unpaid principal of the Loans outstanding
from time to time bear interest calculated by reference to the Base Rate, the
Adjusted C/D Rate or the LIBO Rate, provided that any portion of the Loans
selected to bear interest at the Base Rate shall be in an amount not less than
$100,000 or some greater integral multiple of $100,000 and any portion of the
Loans selected to bear interest at the Adjusted C/D Rate or the LIBO Rate shall
be in an amount not less than $100,000 or some greater integral multiple of
$100,000 with respect to any single Interest Period. Any election by the Company
to have interest calculated by reference to the Base Rate, the Adjusted C/D Rate
or the LIBO Rate shall be made by notice (which shall be irrevocable) to the
Agent as provided in Section2.4 and shall specify the Adjusted C/D Rate Amounts
or LIBO Rate Amounts requested and the date of commencement and duration of the
proposed Interest Period (which must be 30, 60, 90 or 180 days in the case of
Adjusted C/D Rate Amounts and 1, 2, 3 or 6 months for LIBO Rate Amounts). Each
election of an Adjusted C/D Rate or LIBO Rate shall lapse at the end of the
expiring Interest Period unless extended by a further election notice as
hereinbefore provided. Interest on each Base Rate Amount shall be payable
monthly in arrears on the first day of every fiscal month for the immediately
preceding month. Interest on each Adjusted C/D Rate Amount or LIBO Rate Amount
shall be payable (i) on the last day of each Interest Period relating thereto or
(ii) if any Interest Period is longer than ninety (90) days, on the last day of
each ninety-day period following the commencement of such Interest Period and on
the last day of such Interest Period.
(b) NOTICES AS TO ADJUSTED C/D RATE AND LIBO RATE. The Agent shall
notify the Company and the Banks of its determination of any Adjusted C/D Rate
or LIBO Rate. Each such notice shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon the
Company and the Banks.
(c) SUBSTITUTION OF BASE RATE. If, with respect to any Interest Period, the
Agent is unable to determine the Adjusted C/D Rate or the LIBO Rate relating
thereto, or adverse or unusual conditions in or changes in applicable law
relating to the applicable certificate of deposit or interbank eurodollar market
make it illegal or, in the reasonable judgment of any Bank (the "Affected
Bank"), impracticable, to fund therein any of the Loans or make the projected
Adjusted C/D Rate or LIBO Rate unreflective of the actual costs of funds
therefor to the Affected Bank, or if it shall become unlawful for the Affected
Bank to charge interest on the Loans on an Adjusted C/D Rate or LIBO Rate basis,
then in any of the foregoing events the Affected Bank shall so notify the
Company, the Agent and the other Banks (which notice shall be conclusive and
binding upon the Company absent manifest error) and thereafter, all Loans made
by the Affected Bank shall bear interest and be calculated and payable in
respect of such projected Interest Period (and thereafter for so long as the
-18-
24
conditions referred to in this sentence shall continue) by reference to the Base
Rate in accordance with Section 2.5.
(d) ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any
present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation
or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Bank to make or maintain
LIBO Rate Amounts, such Bank shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances
to the Company, the Agent and the other Banks and thereupon (a) the Commitment
of such Bank to make LIBO Rate Amounts or convert Loans to LIBO Rate Amounts
shall forthwith be suspended and (b) such Bank's Loans then outstanding as LIBO
Rate Amounts, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Amounts on
the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBO Rate Amounts or
within such earlier period as may be required by law. The Company hereby agrees
promptly to pay the Agent for the account of such Bank, upon demand by such
Bank, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Bank for any costs
incurred by such Bank in making any conversion in accordance with this
Section3.1(d), including any interest or fees payable by such Bank to lenders of
funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its LIBO Rate Amounts
hereunder.
(e) CHANGES IN RESERVE REQUIREMENT. If, as a consequence of (i) any
reserve or special deposit or liquidity or similar requirements hereafter
increased, imposed, modified or determined to be applicable by any government or
regulatory authority, bureau or agency or (ii) any other change in law or
regulation or the interpretation thereof or (iii) any other change in or
requirement of the applicable interbank eurodollar markets for dollar deposits
affecting banks generally therein, additional costs are incurred by any Bank of
making, funding or maintaining the Loans on either an Adjusted C/D Rate or a
LIBO Rate basis which cannot be computed as part of the respective interest
rate, then the Agent shall, after consultation with the Company and the other
Banks, prepare a new formula for compensating such Bank for such aforesaid
additional costs. The Agent shall furnish a copy of any such new formula to the
Company and the Banks and the respective interest rate shall thereafter be
determined pursuant to such new formula. Any such determination by the Agent
shall be conclusive and binding on the Company in the absence of manifest error.
(f) INCREASED COSTS. In the event that any Bank shall suffer any
additional loss or expense or liability in connection with the calculation or
charging of interest on an Adjusted C/D Rate or LIBO Rate basis (other than
taxes based upon such Bank's net income, gross receipts or profits or taxes
which would be imposed whether or not such Bank makes loans bearing interest
calculated by reference to the Adjusted C/D Rate or the LIBO Rate) which (i) is
not provided for by Sections2.6, 3.1(c), 3.1(d), 3.1(e) or 3.8 hereof and
(ii) results from (x) any payment or prepayment (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) of all or any part of the Adjusted C/D Rate Amounts or LIBO Rate
Amounts of the Loans on a date other than the last day of the related Interest
Period specified in the Company's notice thereof, (y) the compliance by such
Bank with any guideline or request, from any central bank or other governmental
authority (whether or not having the force of law), or (z) any withholding tax,
-19-
25
impost, duty or deduction which the Company is required by law to effect, then
the Company shall forthwith upon demand by such Bank reimburse such Bank in full
for such loss, expense or liability (and in the case of any withholding tax or
other deduction, pay such amount as would result in such Bank's receiving the
same amount as it would have received hereunder had no such withholding or
deduction been made). A claim by any Bank for all or any part of any additional
amount required to be paid by the Company pursuant to this Section3.1(f) may be
made before and/or after the end of the Interest Period to which such claim
relates or during the Interest Period in which such claim has arisen and before
and/or after any repayment or prepayment, to which such claim relates, of any
Adjusted C/D Rate Amounts or LIBO Rate Amounts owed hereunder. A Bank
Certificate as to the amount and calculation of such loss, expense or liability,
submitted to the Company by such Bank, shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, except for manifest error. Such Bank shall in good faith use
reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of any such costs.
Section 3.2. CONCERNING INTEREST PERIODS. No Interest Period for Loans
may be selected by the Company if such Interest Period ends after the Maturity
Date. If any Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a
Business Day for Adjusted C/D Rate or LIBO Rate purposes, as applicable, that
Interest Period, shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 3.3. INTEREST ON OVERDUE AMOUNTS. Overdue principal and (to the
extent permitted by applicable law) interest on the Loans and all other overdue
amounts payable hereunder shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per
annum equal to two percent (2%) above the Base Rate, whether or not any LIBO
Rate or Adjusted C/D Rate would otherwise have been applicable thereto, until
such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment).
Section 3.4. PAYMENTS. All payments of principal of and interest on
Loans made to the Company and any other amounts due hereunder shall be made by
the Company to the Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Banks, in immediately
available funds in accordance with the payment instructions set forth on
Schedule 3 hereof. All payments by the Company hereunder and under any of the
other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim.
Section 3.5. COMPUTATIONS. All computations of interest on the Loans
and of Commitment, Facility or other fees payable in connection herewith shall,
unless otherwise expressly provided herein, be based on a 360-day year and paid
for the actual number of days elapsed, except that computations of interest on
Base Rate Amounts shall be based on a 365/366-day year. Whenever a payment
hereunder or under the Notes becomes due on a day which is not a Business Day,
the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension.
Section 3.6. COMMITMENT FEE.
-20-
26
(a) The Company agrees to pay to the Agent, for the respective accounts
of the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, a
"Commitment Fee" at the applicable rate per annum set forth on Schedule 2
hereto, calculated on the average daily amount during each calendar quarter or
portion thereof from the Closing Date through the Maturity Date by which the
Commitment Amount exceeds the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans
outstanding during such calendar quarter plus the aggregate amount of any
Letters of Credit outstanding during such calendar quarter. The Commitment Fee
shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each fiscal
quarter for the preceding fiscal quarter, with a final payment on the Maturity
Date, or any earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate.
(b) Each applicable fee will be determined from time to time based on
the ratio of Debt to Total Capital. Upon receipt by the Agent of the quarterly
financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.3, the Agent
shall determine the ratio of Debt to Total Capital as of the end of the
quarterly period covered by such statements. The Agent shall thereupon determine
the applicable fee corresponding to such ratio as set forth in Schedule 2
hereto. Any adjustment to the applicable fee shall become effective three
Business Days following receipt by the Agent of the financial statements
required pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof or, if the Company fails to provide
financial statements within the time period required by Section 7.3 hereof, and
such financial statements cause the applicable fee to increase, such adjustment
of the applicable fee shall become effective retroactive to the date three
Business Days following the date the financial statements were required under
Section 7.3 to be furnished (provided, however, that the determination of the
applicable fee in effect as of the Closing Date shall be based upon the
financial statements dated December 31, 1997, and shall remain in effect until
such time as the Agent shall receive more current financial statements).
Section 3.7. CLOSING FEES. In addition to the Commitment Fee payable
hereunder, the Company agrees to pay to the Agent, for the respective accounts
of the Banks, closing fees equal to 5.0 basis points on each Bank's Commitment
hereunder.
Section 3.8. AGENT FEES. The Company shall pay to the Agent for its own
account, an annual fee in the amount set forth in the Summary of Terms and
Conditions dated March 27, 1998, delivered by the Agent to the Company. Such fee
shall be payable on the Closing Date and on each anniversary of the date of this
Agreement.
Section 3.9. ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS PAYABLE ON ACCOUNT OF CREDIT
FACILITIES. If any change in law or governmental rule, regulation, policy,
guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) or the
interpretation thereof by a court or governmental authority with appropriate
jurisdiction or compliance with any existing law or governmental rule,
regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) or the interpretation thereof by a court or governmental authority with
appropriate jurisdiction
-21-
27
imposes, increases or renders applicable after the Closing Date any special
deposit or reserve or liquidity or other similar requirements (whether or not
having the force of law) against credits held by, or deposits in or for the
account of, or Loans or Letters of Credit by any office of any Bank or otherwise
affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any of
the Banks or any corporation controlling any of the Banks and such Bank
reasonably determines that the amount of such deposits, reserves or capital
required is increased by or based upon the existence of the credit facilities
established hereunder, the Loans made pursuant hereto, any Letters of Credit
issued hereunder, or upon agreements or loans of the type contemplated hereby,
then such Bank may notify the Company of such fact. To the extent that such
increased capital requirements are not reflected in any Base Rate, Adjusted C/D
Rate or LIBO Rate applicable to the Loans, or the fees applicable to the Letters
of Credit, the Company and such Bank shall thereafter attempt to negotiate an
adjustment to the fees payable in connection herewith which will adequately
compensate such Bank in light of these circumstances. If the Company and such
Bank are unable to agree to such adjustment within 30 days of the day on which
the Company receives such notice, then commencing on the date of any such notice
(but not earlier than the effective date of any such change), the fees payable
in connection herewith shall increase by an amount which will, in such Bank's
reasonable determination, provide adequate compensation.

material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances in which they are made. Except as

agree in writing to treat in confidence the information so disclosed and the
Company will be furnished with copies of such agreements, and (ii) where

-40-
46

its stated term, or is amended or compliance by the lessee is waived, without
the prior written consent of the Banks (other than the termination of a lease of
a Health Care Facility in connection with a sale of such Health Care Facility
permitted by Section 7.30);
then, and in any such event, unless the same shall be cured or waived, the Agent
shall, upon the request of the Majority Banks, by notice in writing to the
Company, terminate this Agreement and upon such termination the Banks shall have
no further obligation to make Loans to the Company or issue Letters of Credit
for the account of the Company, and shall declare all Obligations, including,
without limitation the Notes, to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith mature
and become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or
other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
Company; provided, that in the event of any Event of Default described in
Section 8(f) or Section 8(g) hereof, all Obligations shall become immediately
due and payable automatically, and all obligations of the Banks to make Loans or
issue Letters of Credit shall automatically terminate, without any requirement
of notice from the Banks. To the extent that the Obligations accelerated
hereunder relate to Letters of Credit, the amount becoming due and payable shall
be the aggregate outstanding amount of the Letters of Credit, whether or not any
drawings or claims have been presented thereunder. No termination of the credit
hereunder shall relieve the Company of any Obligations or any of its existing
obligations to any of the Banks arising under other agreements or instruments.
No remedy herein conferred upon the Banks is intended to be exclusive of any
other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law.
Section 9. SETOFF; SHARING. Regardless of the adequacy of any
collateral, any deposits or other sums credited by or due from the Banks to the
Company and any securities or other property of the Company in the possession of
the Banks may be applied to or set-off against the payment of Obligations of the
Company hereunder, under the Notes and any and all other liabilities, direct, or
indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or
hereafter arising, of the Company to the Banks at any time. Each Bank agrees to
promptly notify the Company, the Agent and the other Banks after any such
set-off and application made by such Bank, provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. Each
Bank agrees with the other Banks that if such Bank shall receive from the
Company or any other source whatsoever, whether by voluntary payment, exercise
of the right of set-off, counterclaim, cross-action or enforcement of any claim
evidenced by the Notes or this Agreement, or by proof thereof in bankruptcy,
reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings or otherwise,
and retain and apply to the payment of the amounts owing with respect to the
Notes or to any amounts due to such Bank under this Agreement any amount which
is in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the
Banks, then such Bank will make such dispositions and arrangements with each
other Bank with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution until the
amount of such excess has been exhausted, assignment of claims, subrogation or
-41-
47
otherwise, as shall result in each such Bank receiving in respect of its Notes
and the amounts due such Bank under this Agreement its ratable share of such
payments; provided, however, that if all or any part of such excess payment is
thereafter recovered from such Bank, such disposition and arrangements shall be
rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without
interest.
Section 10. THE AGENT
Section 10.1. APPOINTMENT OF AGENT, POWERS AND IMMUNITIES. Each Bank
hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as its
administrative agent under the Loan Documents with such powers as are expressly
delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities or any fiduciary
relationship with any Bank except those expressly set forth in the Loan
Documents. The relationship between the Agent and the Banks is that of agent and
principal only, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as trustee for any Bank.
The Agent shall not be responsible to the Banks for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by the Company or any other Person whether
contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise or for the
value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred
to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by the Company or any
other Person to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or in respect of
the Notes. The Agent may employ agents and attorneys and shall not be
responsible to the Banks for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or
attorneys selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, employees or agents shall be responsible for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any of the other
Loan Documents or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible to the
Banks for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatever,
except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent in
its separate capacity as a Bank shall have the same rights and powers hereunder
as any other Bank.
Section 10.2. RELIANCE BY AGENT. The Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon any certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telecopy,
telefax, telegram or telex) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon
advice and statements of legal advisers, independent accountants and other
experts selected by the Agent with reasonable care. As to any matters not
expressly provided for in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents
or in any other document referred to herein or therein, the Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance
with the written instructions of the Banks, and such instructions and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on the Banks.
-42-
48
Section 10.3. INDEMNIFICATION. Without limiting the obligations of the
Company hereunder or under any other Loan Document, to the extent not reimbursed
by the Company, the Banks agree to indemnify the Agent, ratably in accordance
with their respective Commitment Percentages for any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits (whether
groundless or otherwise), costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the
Agent has not been reimbursed by the Company as required by Section 11) or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including
without limitation at any time following the payment of the Notes) be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising
out of this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or any
documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or
thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Bank shall be liable
for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the Agent's gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this subSection shall
survive the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 10.4. REIMBURSEMENT. Without limiting the provisions of
Section 10.3, the Banks and the Agent hereby agree that the Agent shall not be
obliged to make available to any Person any sum which the Agent is expecting to
receive for the account of that Person until the Agent has determined that it
has received that sum. The Agent may, however, disburse funds prior to
determining that the sums which the Agent expects to receive have been finally
and unconditionally paid to the Agent, if the Agent wishes to do so. If and to
the extent that the Agent does disburse funds and it later becomes apparent that
the Agent did not then receive a payment in an amount equal to the sum paid out,
then any Person to whom the Agent made the funds available shall, on demand from
the Agent:
(a) refund to the Agent the sum paid to that Person; and
(b) reimburse the Agent for the additional amount certified by the
Agent as being necessary to indemnify the Agent against any funding or other
cost, loss, expense or liability sustained or incurred by the Agent as a result
of paying out the sum before receiving it provided, however, that if such funds
were made available to any Bank, such additional amount shall be limited to
interest on the sum to be repaid, for each day from the date such amount was
disbursed until the date repaid to the Agent, at, for the first three days, the
customary rate set by the Agent for correction of errors among banks, and
thereafter at the Base Rate.
Section 10.5. NON-RELIANCE ON AGENT AND OTHER BANKS. Each Bank
represents that it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any
other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of the financial condition and affairs of
the Company and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem
-43-
49
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own appraisals and decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The
Agent shall not be required to keep informed as to the performance or observance
by the Company of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other
document referred to or provided for herein or therein or by any other Person of
and agreement or to make enquiry of, or to inspect the properties or books of,
any Person. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information
expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Agent hereunder, the
Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any
credit or other information concerning any Person which may come into the
possession of the Agent or any of its affiliates. Each Bank shall have access to
all documents relating to the Agent's performance of its duties hereunder, at
such Bank's request. Unless any Bank shall promptly object to any action taken
by the Agent hereunder, such Bank shall conclusively be presumed to have
approved the same.
Section 10.6. PAYMENTS. If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution
of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder or under the Notes or
any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain
from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been
adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent
jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent
is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made
shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so
adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such
Persons as shall be determined by such court. With respect to obligations of the
Company hereunder, a payment to the Agent shall be deemed to be a payment to the
Banks.
Section 10.7. HOLDERS OF NOTES. The Agent may deem and treat the payee
of any Note as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall
have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a
subsequent holder.
Section 10.8. AGENT AS BANK. In its individual capacity, First Union
National Bank shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and
privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it hereunder, and
as the holder of any of the Notes, as it would have were it not also the Agent.
Section 10.9. RESIGNATION OF AGENT. The Agent may resign at any time by
giving 90 days' prior written notice thereof to the Banks and the Company. Upon
any such resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right, with the consent
of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), to appoint another
Bank as successor Agent. If no other Bank shall have been so appointed by the
Majority Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may,
on behalf of the Banks, after consultation with the Company, appoint a successor
Agent, which shall be a financial institution having a combined capital and
surplus in excess of $1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment the
successor Agent shall
-44-

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 hereunder. After any retiring Agent's
resignation, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect for its
benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was acting as Agent.
Section 10.10. INDEPENDENT OBLIGATIONS, ACTIONS. The obligations of the
Banks hereunder are several, and no Bank shall be responsible for the

rights which the Banks would otherwise have. The captions in this Agreement are
for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit the provisions

53

Section 18. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE COMPANY AND THE BANKS HEREBY
WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.
Section 19. CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any
consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement to be given by the
Banks may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other instrument
related hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the performance or
observance by the Company of any term of this Agreement or the continuance of
any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a
particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only
with, the written consent of the Majority Banks. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
or any other provision of this Agreement or the Letter of Credit Documents to
the contrary, decreases in the rates of interest on the Notes, forgiveness of
any amounts due under the Notes, extensions in the stated maturity of the Notes
or the stated expiration date of any Letters of Credit or in the time for
payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, increases in the Commitment

without the written consent of the Agent. No waiver shall extend to or affect
any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No

right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No
notice to or demand upon the Company shall entitle the Company to other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) In the event the Company seeks an amendment of a dollar limitation
set forth in Section 7.27 or Section 7.28, the Company shall provide notice to

request within ten Business Days of receipt of such notice, the Bank shall be
deemed to have assented to such request. Each notice by the Company shall state
that a failure to respond within such period shall be deemed to constitute
assent to the request and shall be accompanied by all relevant information
necessary for the Banks to evaluate such request.

Section 20. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement are
severable and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or

unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in
such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision
in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in
any jurisdiction.
Section 21. ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS.
Section 21.1 ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.
(a) The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Bank may at any time
grant participations in all or any portion of its pro rata share of the Loans
and Letters of Credit or of its right, title and interest therein or in or to
this Agreement (collectively, "Participations") to any other lending office or
to any other bank or lending institution ("Participants"); provided, however,
that: (i) all amounts payable by the Company shall be determined as if such Bank
had not granted such Participation; and (ii) any agreement pursuant to which any
Bank may grant a Participation: (x) shall provide that such Bank shall retain
the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Company
hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provisions of this Agreement; (y) may provide that
such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this
Agreement without the consent of the Participant if such amendment, modification
or waiver would reduce the principal of or rate of interest on the Loan or
postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest or fees on
the Loan or extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit or amend the
amount of the Commitment or Commitment Percentage of such Bank; and (z) shall
not relieve such Bank from its obligations, which shall remain absolute, to make
advances hereunder.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in subSection (a), no Bank may assign,
sell, or transfer all or any portion of its pro rata share of the Loans or any
Note or Letter of Credit or of its right, title or interest therein or in or to
this Agreement, to any other bank or lending institution without execution by
the assignee Bank of an Assignment Agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and the Banks, and payment of an assignment fee by
the assigning Bank to the Agent in the amount of $2,500. In no event shall any
such assignment, sale or transfer be in an aggregate principal amount of less
than $2,500,000.
Section 21.2. MISCELLANEOUS ASSIGNMENT PROVISIONS. If any assignee Bank
is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any state
thereof, it shall, prior to the date on which any interest or fees are payable
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for its account, deliver to
the Company and the Agent certification as to its exemption from deduction or
withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Anything contained in
this Section 21 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Bank may at any time pledge
-49-
55
all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including
all or any portion of its Notes) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks
organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C, Section 341. No
such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Bank from its
obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.
Section 21.3. DISCLOSURE. The Company and the Banks agree that any Bank
may disclose information obtained by such Bank pursuant to this Agreement to
assignee Banks or participants and potential assignee Banks or participants

information, (b) not to disclose such information to a third party and (c) not
