Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrowers may from time to time
prior to the Expiration Date request the Banks to make Revolving Credit Loans,
or renew or convert the Interest Rate Option applicable to existing Revolving
Credit Loans pursuant to Section 4.2, by delivering to the Agent, not later than
10:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, (i) two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed

necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Revolving Credit Loan
Request shall be

irrevocable and shall specify (i) the proposed Borrowing Date; (ii) the
aggregate amount of the proposed Revolving Credit Loans comprising each
Borrowing Tranche, which shall be in integral multiples of $250,000 and not less
than $1,000,000 for each Borrowing Tranche to which the Euro-Rate Option applies
and not less than the lesser of $250,000 or the maximum amount available for
Borrowing Tranches to which the Base Rate Option applies; (iii) whether the

amount and type of each such Revolving Credit Loan and the applicable Interest
Period (if any); and (iii) the apportionment among the Banks of the Revolving
Credit Loans as determined by the Agent in accordance with Section 2.2. Each
Bank shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan to the Agent
such that the Agent is able to, and the Agent shall, to the extent the Banks
have made funds available to it for such purpose, fund such Revolving Credit
Loans to the Borrowers in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the
Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, on the Borrowing Date,
provided that if any Bank fails to remit such funds to the Agent in a timely
manner, the Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds
the Revolving Credit Loans of such Bank on the Borrowing Date, and such Bank
shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 10.16.
2.7 Revolving Credit Notes.
The Obligation of each Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of the Revolving Credit Loans made to it by each Bank, together with
interest thereon, shall be evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note dated the

Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank.
2.8 Use of Proceeds.
The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used for working
capital and general corporate purposes and to fund Permitted Acquisitions.
2.9 Letter of Credit Subfacility.
2.9.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit.
PhyMatrix as agent for the Borrowers may request the issuance of a
letter of credit (each a "Letter of Credit") on behalf of itself or another Loan
Party by delivering to the Agent a completed application and agreement for
letters of credit in such form as the Agent may reasonably specify from time to
time by no later than 10:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, at least two (2) Business
Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Agent, in advance of the
-20-
proposed date of issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in
reliance on the agreements of the other Banks set forth in this Section 2.9, the
Agent will issue a Letter of Credit provided that each Letter of Credit shall
(A) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, (B)
in no event expire later than one Business Day prior to the Expiration Date and
provided further that in no event shall (i) the Letter of Credit Outstandings

exceed, at any one time, the Revolving Credit Commitments.
2.9.2 Participations.
Immediately upon issuance of each Letter of Credit, and without
further action, each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees that it shall,
have irrevocably purchased for such Bank's own account and risk from the Agent
an individual participation interest in such Letter of Credit and drawings
thereunder in an amount equal to such Bank's Ratable Share of the maximum amount
which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder, and each
such Bank shall be responsible to reimburse the Agent immediately for its
Ratable Share of any disbursement under any Letter of Credit which has not been
reimbursed by Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.9.4.

The Borrowers shall pay (i) to the Agent for the ratable account of
the Banks a fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") equal to the then prevailing

fronting fee equal to 1/8% per annum, which fees shall be computed on the daily
average Letter of Credit Outstandings and shall be payable quarterly in arrears
commencing with the first Business Day of each August, November, February and
May following issuance of each Letter of Credit and on the Expiration Date. The
Borrowers shall also pay to the Agent for the Agent's sole account the Agent's
then in effect customary fees and administrative expense payable with respect to
the Letters of Credit as the Agent may generally charge or incur from time to
time in connection with the issuance, maintenance, modification (if any),
assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of
Credit.
2.9.4 Disbursements, Reimbursement.
(i) The Borrowers shall be obligated immediately to reimburse the
Agent for all amounts which the Agent is required to advance pursuant to the
Letters of Credit. Such amounts advanced shall become, at the time the amounts
are advanced, Revolving Credit Loans from the Banks. Such Revolving Credit Loans
shall bear interest at the rate applicable under the Base Rate Option unless the
Borrowers elect to have a different Interest Rate Option apply to such Revolving
Credit Loans pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions contained in
Section 4.1.
(ii) The Agent will notify (A) PhyMatrix, as agent for the Borrowers of
each demand or presentment for payment or other drawing under each Letter of
Credit, and (B) the Banks of the amount required to be advanced pursuant to the
Letters of
-21-
Credit. Before 10:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, on the date of any advance the Agent
is required to make pursuant to the Letters of Credit, each Bank shall make
available such Bank's Ratable Share of such advance in immediately available
funds to the Agent.
2.9.5 Documentation.
The Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to be bound by the terms
of the Agent's customary and reasonable application and agreement for Letters of
Credit and the Agent's written regulations and customary practices relating to
Letters of Credit, though such interpretation may be different from the
Borrowers' own. In the event of a conflict between such application or agreement
and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed
that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Agent
shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of
omission or commission, in following any Borrower's instructions or those
contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or
supplements thereto.
2.9.6 Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests.
In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any
Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Agent shall be responsible only
to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under
such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face
with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.
2.9.7 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.
The obligation of the Banks to participate in Letters of Credit
pursuant to Section 2.9.2 and the obligation of the Banks pursuant to Section
2.9.4 to fund Revolving Credit Loans upon a draw under a Letter of Credit and
the Obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse the Agent upon a draw under a
Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.9 shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of
such sections under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:
(i) the failure of any Loan Party or any other Person to comply with
the conditions set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.5, 2.6 or 7.2 or as otherwise set
forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Credit Loan, it being
acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Revolving
Credit Loan under Section 2.9.4;
(ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;
(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which
any Loan Party or any Bank may have at any time against a beneficiary or any
transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee
may be acting), the Agent or other bank or any other Person or, whether in
connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any
unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Loan
Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party and the beneficiary for which any Letter
of Credit was procured);
-22-
(iv) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under
any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect;
(v) payment by the Agent under any Letter of Credit against
presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
(vi) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties,
assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party or
Subsidiaries of a Loan Party;
(vii) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any
party thereto;
(vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing;
(ix) the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Default shall
have occurred and be continuing; or
(x) the Expiration Date shall have passed or this Agreement or the
Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated.
2.9.8 Indemnity.
In addition to amounts payable as provided in Section 10.5 the
Borrowers hereby agree to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Agent
from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses,
costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and
disbursements of counsel) which the Agent may incur or be subject to as a
consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit,
other than as a result of (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Agent as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or
(B) subject to the following clause (ii), the wrongful dishonor by the Agent of
a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit or (ii) the failure
of the Agent to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of
any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de
jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or
omissions herein called "Governmental Acts").
2.9.9 Liability for Acts and Omissions.
As between any Loan Party and the Agent, such Loan Party assumes all
risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the
respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be responsible for: (i) the
form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any
document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an
issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in
any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;
(ii) the validity or sufficiency of any
-23-
instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any
such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof,
in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any
reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply
fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit;
(iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of
any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, or otherwise, whether or not they be in
cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay
in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a
drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the
misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds
of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising
from causes beyond the control of the Agent, including any Governmental Acts,
and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of
the Agent's rights or powers hereunder.
In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific
provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in
connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and
certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good-faith, shall not
put the Agent under any resulting liability to the Borrowers.
3. [RESERVED]
4. INTEREST RATES
4.1 Interest Rate Options.
Each Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid
principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans as selected by PhyMatrix, as
agent for such Borrower, from the Base Rate Option or Euro-Rate Option set forth
below applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans, it being understood that,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement, PhyMatrix, as such agent, may
select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply
simultaneously to the Revolving Credit Loans comprising different Borrowing
Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with
respect to all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans comprising any
Borrowing Tranche, provided that there shall not be at any one time outstanding
more than five (5) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all the Revolving
Credit Loans accruing interest at either the Euro-Rate Option or the Base-Rate
Option. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Revolving Credit
Loan made by any Bank exceeds such Bank's highest lawful rate, the rate of
interest on such Bank's Revolving Credit Loan shall be limited to such Bank's
highest lawful rate.
4.1.1 Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options.
PhyMatrix, as agent for the Borrowers, shall have the right to select
from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit
Loans:
(i) Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed)
equal to
-24-
the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin (as defined in Section
4.1.2), such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective
as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; and
(ii) Euro-Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Euro-Rate plus the
Applicable Euro-Rate Margin (as defined in Section 4.1.2) in respect of the
Interest Period selected by PhyMatrix.
4.1.2 Interest Rate Margins
As used herein in respect of any fiscal quarter, the "Applicable Base
Rate Margin" and the "Applicable Euro-Rate Margin" shall be the margins,
expressed as percentage points per annum, described below in relation to the
ratio of Senior Funded Debt at the end of the relevant quarter to (y) Cash Flow
from Operations for the fiscal quarter for which the Borrowers have delivered
the material required by Sections 8.3.2 and 8.3.3, annualized in each case to
express a period of four (4) rolling quarters beginning with the quarter ended
July 31, 1997, adjusted as of the date such statements are due.
(i) If the ratio is less than or equal to 1.25 to 1.0, then the
Applicable Base Rate Margin shall be zero percent (0%) and the Applicable
Euro-Rate Margin shall be seven-eighths percent (.875%).
(ii) If the ratio is greater than 1.25 to 1.0 but less than or equal to
1.6 to 1.0, then the Applicable Base Rate Margin shall be zero percent (0%) and
the Applicable Euro-Rate Margin shall be one and one-eighth percent (1.125%).
(iii) If the ratio is greater than 1.6 to 1.0 but less than or equal to
2.0 to 1.0, then the Applicable Base Rate Margin shall be zero percent (0%) and
the Applicable Euro-Rate Margin shall be one and three eighths percent (1.375%).
(iv) If the ratio is greater than 2.0 to 1.0 but less than or equal to
2.4 to 1.0, then the Applicable Base Rate Margin shall be one eighth of one
percent (.125%) and the Applicable Euro-Rate Margin shall be one and
five-eighths percent (1.625%).
(v) If the ratio is greater than 2.4 to 1.0, then the Applicable Base
Rate Margin shall be three-eighths percent (.375%) and the Applicable Euro-Rate
Margin shall be one and seven-eighths percent (1.875%).
4.1.3 Rate Quotations.
PhyMatrix, as agent for the Borrowers, may call the Agent on or before
the date on which a Revolving Credit Loan Request is to be delivered to receive
an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such
projection shall not be binding on the Agent or the Banks nor affect the rate of
interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.
-25-
4.2 Interest Periods.
At any time when PhyMatrix, as agent for the Borrowers, shall select,
convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option, PhyMatrix shall notify the Agent thereof
at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Euro-Rate
Option by delivering a Revolving Credit Loan Request. The notice shall specify
an interest period (the "Interest Period") during which such Interest Rate
Option shall apply, such Interest Period to be one, two, three or six Months in
the event of a Euro-Rate Option, provided, that:
4.2.1 Ending Date and Business Day.
any Interest Period which would otherwise end on a date which is not a
Business Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such
Business Day falls in the next calendar month, in which case such Interest
Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day;
4.2.2 Amount of Borrowing Tranche.
each Borrowing Tranche of Euro-Rate Revolving Credit Loans shall be in
integral multiples of $250,000 and not less than $1,000,000;
4.2.3 Termination Before Expiration Date.
PhyMatrix shall not select, convert to or renew an Interest Period for
any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans that would end after the Expiration
Date; and
4.2.4 Renewals.
in the case of the renewal of a Euro-Rate Option at the end of an
Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day
of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for
such day.
4.3 Interest After Default.
To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived:
4.3.1 Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate.
The Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of interest for each Revolving
Credit Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.9 or Section 4.1
respectively shall be increased by 2.0% per annum; and
4.3.2 Other Obligations.
Each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable
under the Base Rate Option
-26-
(including the Applicable Base Rate Margin) plus an additional 2% per annum from
the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is paid in full.
4.3.3 Acknowledgment.
Each Borrower acknowledges that such increased rates reflect, among
other things, the fact that such Revolving Credit Loans or other amounts have
become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the
Banks are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and, all such
interest shall be payable by the Borrowers upon demand by Agent.
4.4 Euro-Rate Unascertainable.
4.4.1 Unascertainable.
If on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be determined, the
Agent shall have determined that:
(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such
Euro-Rate, or
(i) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects
the secondary market for negotiable certificates of deposit maintained by
dealers of recognized standing relating to the London interbank eurodollar
market relating to the Euro-Rate, the Agent shall have the rights specified in
Section 4.4.3.
4.4.2 Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.
If at any time any Bank shall have determined that:
(i) the making, maintenance or funding of any Revolving Credit Loan to
which a Euro-Rate Option applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by
compliance by such Bank in good-faith with any Law or any interpretation or
application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any
such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or
(ii) such Euro-Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to such Bank of the establishment or maintenance of any such Revolving
Credit Loan, or
(iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant
amount in Dollars for the relevant Interest Period for a Revolving Credit Loan
to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such
Bank in the London interbank market, then the Agent shall have the rights
specified in Section 4.4.3.
-27-
4.4.3 Agent's and Bank's Rights.
In the case of any event specified in subsection 4.4.1 above, the
Agent shall promptly so notify the Banks and PhyMatrix, as agent for the
Borrowers, thereof, and in the case of an event specified in subsection 4.4.2
above, such Bank shall promptly so notify the Agent and endorse a certificate to
such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Agent shall
promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Banks and
PhyMatrix. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not
be earlier than the date such notice is given) the obligation of (A) the Banks,
in the case of such notice given by the Agent, or (B) such Bank, in the case of
such notice given by such Bank, to allow PhyMatrix, as agent for the Borrowers,
to select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option shall be suspended until the
Agent shall have later notified PhyMatrix, in such capacity, or such Bank shall
have later notified the Agent, of the Agent's or such Bank's, as the case may
be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous
determination no longer exist. If at any time the Agent makes a determination
under subsection 4.4.1 of this Section 4.4 and PhyMatrix has previously notified
the Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Euro-Rate Option
and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification
shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the
Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Revolving Credit
Loans. If any Bank notifies the Agent of a determination under subsection 4.4.2
of this Section 4.4, the Borrowers shall, subject to the Borrowers'
indemnification Obligations under Section 5.6.2, as to any Revolving Credit Loan
of the Bank to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such
notice either convert such Revolving Credit Loan to the Base Rate Option
otherwise available with respect to such Revolving Credit Loan or prepay such
Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with Section 5.4. Absent due notice from
PhyMatrix of conversion or prepayment, such Revolving Credit Loan shall
automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with
respect to such Revolving Credit Loan upon such specified date.
4.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options.
If PhyMatrix, as agent for the Borrowers, fails to select a new Interest
Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Euro-Rate Revolving Credit Loans at
the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing
Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2, the Borrowers shall be
deemed to have converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Base Rate Option
commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.
5. PAYMENTS
5.1 Payments.
All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest,
Commitment Fees, Facility Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Agent's Fees or other
fees or amounts due from the Borrowers hereunder shall be payable prior to 11:00
a.m., Pittsburgh time, on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest
or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
Borrowers, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any
-28-
nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments (other
than the Agent's Fees) shall be made to the Agent at the Principal Office for
the ratable accounts of the Banks with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans in
U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, and the Agent shall promptly
distribute such amounts to the Banks in immediately available funds, provided
that in the event payments are received by 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, by the
Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans and such payments are not
distributed to the Banks on the same day received by the Agent, the Agent shall
pay the Banks the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to the amount of
such payments for each day held by the Agent and not distributed to the Banks.
The Agent's and each Bank's statement of account, ledger or other relevant
record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement
of the amount of principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans and
other amounts owing under this Agreement and shall be deemed an "account
stated."
5.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Banks.
Each borrowing shall be allocated to each Bank according to its Ratable
Share, and each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest Rate
Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrowers with respect to
principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Facility Fees, Letter of Credit Fees or
other fees (except for the Agent's Fees) or amounts due from the Borrowers
hereunder to the Banks with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans, shall (except
as provided in Section 4.4.2, 5.4.2 or 5.6.1) be made in proportion to the
applicable Revolving Credit Loans outstanding from each Bank and, if no such
Revolving Credit Loans are then outstanding, in proportion to the Ratable Share
of each Bank.
5.3 Interest Payment Dates.
Interest on Revolving Credit Loans at the prevailing rate to which the Base
Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business
Day of each August, November, February and May after the date hereof and on the
Expiration Date or upon acceleration of the Notes. Interest on Revolving Credit
Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last
day of each Interest Period for those Revolving Credit Loans and, if any such
Interest Period is longer than three months, also on the day which is three (3)
months after the first day of such Interest Period and the last day of such
Interest Period. Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section
5.5 shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due. Interest on the
principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan or other monetary Obligation
shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary
Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated maturity date, upon
acceleration or otherwise).
5.4 Voluntary Prepayments.
5.4.1 Right to Prepay.
Each Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to
prepay the Revolving Credit Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty
(except as provided in subsection 5.4.2 below or in Section 5.6):
-29-
(i) at any time with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan to which the
Base Rate Option applies,
(ii) on the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect to
Revolving Credit Loans to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, or
(iii) on the date specified in a notice by any Bank pursuant to
Section 4.4.2 with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan to which a Euro-Rate
Option applies.
Whenever a Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Revolving Credit
Loans, it shall cause PhyMatrix, as its agent, to provide a prepayment notice to
the Agent by 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of
prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans setting forth the following information:
(x) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the
proposed prepayment is to be made; and
(y) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment
between the Revolving Credit Loans.
All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of
the Revolving Credit Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with
interest on such principal amount except with respect to Revolving Credit Loans
to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date
specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment
is to be made. If a Borrower prepays a Revolving Credit Loan but fails to
specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the
prepayment shall be applied first to Revolving Credit Loans to which the Base
Rate Option applies, then to Revolving Credit Loans to which the Euro-Rate
Option applies. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrowers'
Obligation to indemnify the Banks under Section 5.6.2.
5.4.2 Replacement of a Bank.
In the event any Bank (i) gives notice under Section 4.4.2 or Section
5.6.1, (ii) does not fund Revolving Credit Loans because the making of such
Revolving Credit Loans would contravene any Law applicable to such Bank, (iii)
does not approve any action as to which consent of the Required Banks is
requested by PhyMatrix and obtained hereunder, or (iv) becomes subject to the
control of an Official Body (other than normal and customary supervision), then
PhyMatrix shall have the right at its option, with the consent of the Agent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed to prepay the
Revolving Credit Loans of such Bank in whole, together with all interest accrued
thereon, and terminate such Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment within ninety
(90) days after (w) receipt of such Bank's notice under Section 4.4.2 or 5.6.1,
(x) the date such Bank has failed to fund Revolving Credit Loans because the
making of such Revolving Credit Loans would contravene Law applicable to such
Bank, (y) the date of obtaining the consent which such Bank has not approved, or
(z) the date such Bank became subject to the control of an Official Body, as
applicable; provided that the
-30-
Borrowers shall also pay to such Bank at the time of such prepayment any amounts
required under Section 5.6 and any accrued interest due on such amount and any
related fees; provided, however, that the Revolving Credit Commitment of such
Bank shall be provided by one or more of the remaining Banks or a replacement
bank acceptable to the Agent and PhyMatrix; provided, further, the remaining
Banks shall have no obligation hereunder to increase their Revolving Credit
Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may only be replaced
subject to the requirements of Section 10.14 and provided that all Letters of
Credit have expired or been terminated or replaced.
5.5 Mandatory Prepayments.
5.5.1 Sale of Assets.
In respect of any sale of assets authorized by Section 8.2.7(v)
yielding after-tax proceeds in excess of $3,000,000, the Borrowers shall make a
mandatory prepayment of principal and accrued interest thereunder on the
Revolving Credit Loans equal to the after-tax proceeds of such sale (as
estimated in good-faith by the Borrowers). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Borrowers may apply up to an aggregate of $3,000,000 (after-tax) proceeds of any
one or more such sales to the purchase of assets to be used in a Permitted Line
of Business and the assets so acquired become Collateral (to the extent and in
the manner contemplated in the Loan Documents) for the Obligations subject to a
perfected first-priority lien in favor of the Agents on behalf of the Banks, so
long as such substitute assets are acquired within ninety (90) days after such
sale of assets; if such assets are not so acquired, the Borrowers shall pay the
amount required hereunder not later than five (5) days after the end of such
ninety (90) day period.
5.5.2 Application Among Interest Rate Options.
All prepayments required pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall first be
applied among the Interest Rate Options to the principal amount of the Revolving
Credit Loans subject to a Base Rate Option, then to Revolving Credit Loans
subject to the Euro-Rate Option. In accordance with Section 5.6.2, the Borrowers
shall indemnify the Banks for any loss or expense, including loss of margin,
incurred with respect to any such prepayments applied against Revolving Credit
Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the
applicable Interest Period. In order to avoid the payment of fees under Section
5.6.2(i) when proceeds of asset sales are to be applied pursuant to this Section
5.5, the Borrowers may establish on terms acceptable to the Banks a cash
collateral account with, and under the exclusive control of, the Agent on behalf
of the Banks into which proceeds described in this Section 5.5 may be placed and
later applied to repay Revolving Credit Loans subject to the Euro-Rate Option at
the end of their respective Interest Periods.

5.6 Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances.
5.6.1 Increased Costs or Reduced Return Resulting From Taxes,
Reserves, Capital Adequacy Requirements, Expenses, Etc.
If any Law, guideline or interpretation or any change in any Law,
guideline or interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance with any request
or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any central bank or
other Official Body:
(i) subjects any Bank to any tax or changes the basis of taxation with
respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Revolving Credit Loans or payments by
the Borrowers of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, or other amounts due from
the Borrowers hereunder or under the Notes (except for taxes on the overall net
income of such Bank),
(ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special
deposit or similar requirement against credits or Revolving Credit Commitments
to extend credit extended by, or assets (funded or contingent) of, deposits with
or for the account of, or other acquisitions of funds by, any Bank, or
(iii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any capital adequacy or
similar requirement (A) against assets (funded or contingent) of, or letters of
credit, other credits or Revolving Credit Commitments to extend credit extended
by, any Bank, or (B) otherwise applicable to the obligations of any Bank under
this Agreement,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to, reduce the
income receivable by, or impose any expense (including loss of margin) upon any
Bank with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or the making, maintenance or
funding of any part of the Revolving Credit Loans (or, in the case of any
capital adequacy or similar requirement, to have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on any Bank's capital, taking into consideration such Bank's customary
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount which such Bank in its
sole discretion deems to be material, such Bank shall from time to time notify
PhyMatrix, as agent for the Borrowers, and the Agent of the amount determined in
good-faith (using any averaging and attribution methods employed in good-faith)
by such Bank to be necessary to compensate such Bank for such increase in cost,
reduction of income or additional expense. Such notice shall set forth in
reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and
payable by the Borrowers to such Bank ten (10) Business Days after such notice
is given.
5.6.2 Indemnity.
In addition to the compensation required by subsection 5.6.1 of this
Section 5.6, the Borrowers shall indemnify each Bank against all reasonable and
customary liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss of margin, any loss or
expense incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties and any
loss or expense incurred in connection with funds acquired by a Bank to fund or
maintain Revolving Credit Loans subject to the Euro-Rate Option) which such Bank
sustains or incurs as a consequence of any
-32-
(i) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Revolving Credit
Loan to which the Euro-Rate Option applies on a day other than the last day of
the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment or prepayment is
mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or prepayment
is then due),
(ii) attempt by the Borrowers to revoke (expressly, by later
inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any notice relating to
Revolving Credit Loan Requests under Section 2.5 or Section 4.2 or prepayments
under Section 5.4, or
(iii) default by any Borrower in the performance or observance of any
covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Revolving Credit
Loan Document, including any failure of any Borrower to pay when due (by
acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, Commitment Fee or any other
amount due hereunder.
If any Bank sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from
time to time notify PhyMatrix, as agent for the Borrowers, of the amount
determined in good-faith by such Bank (which determination may include such
assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution
methods as such Bank shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such
Bank for such loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail
the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the
Borrowers to such Bank ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

The Liens and security interests granted to the Agent for the benefit
of the Banks pursuant to the Patent, Trademark and Copyright Assignment, the

promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder and by
applicable state securities laws. There are no Partnership Interests except for

under which such Partnership Interests arise.

Schedule 6.1.19 lists all insurance policies and other bonds to which
any Loan Party or Subsidiary of any Loan Party is a party, all of which are
valid and in full force and effect. No notice has been given or claim made and
no grounds exist to cancel or avoid any of such policies or bonds or to reduce
the coverage provided thereby. Such policies and bonds provide adequate coverage
from reputable and financially sound insurers in amounts sufficient to insure
the assets and risks of each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of each Loan Party
in accordance with prudent business practice in the industry of the Loan Parties
and their Subsidiaries.
-38-

6.1.20.2 Without limiting the foregoing, except as disclosed in
PhyMatrix' filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and timely
delivered to the Banks pursuant to Section 8.3, neither the Borrower, any
Subsidiary, nor any of their respective stockholders, officers or directors,
have engaged on behalf of Borrower or any Subsidiary in any of the following:
(i) knowingly and willfully making or causing to be made a false statement or
representation of a material fact in any applications for any benefit or payment
under the Medicare or Medicaid program; (ii) knowingly and willfully making or
causing to be made any false statement or representation of a material fact for
use in determining rights to any benefit or payment under the Medicare or

or payment under the Medicare or Medicaid program on its own behalf or on the
behalf of another, with intent to secure such benefit or payment fraudulently;

arranging for or recommending the purchasing, leasing or ordering of any good,

notice has been received of any material violation of applicable Laws or any
refusal to renew any material approval which could reasonably be expected to
cause any such approvals to be modified, rescinded or revoked (except for

Adverse Change). The continuation, validity and effectiveness of all such
approvals will in no way be adversely affected by the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. No Loan Party knows of any reason why any of them will not be
able to maintain, after the Closing Date, all material approvals necessary or
appropriate to construct, own, lease, manage, and operate all of their
facilities and to otherwise conduct their businesses as now conducted. There are

assessments or charges, are being contested in good-faith and by appropriate and
lawful proceedings diligently conducted and for which such reserve or other
appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required by GAAP shall have been

would not result in any additional liability which would have or cause a
Material Adverse Change, provided that the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries
will pay all such liabilities forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to
foreclose any Lien which may have attached as security therefor.
-47-
8.1.3 Maintenance of Insurance.
Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
insure its properties and assets against loss or damage by fire and such other
insurable hazards as such assets are commonly insured (including fire, extended

in such amounts as similar properties and assets are insured by prudent
companies in similar circumstances carrying on similar businesses, and with
reputable and financially sound insurers, including self-insurance to the extent
customary, all as reasonably determined by the Agent. The Loan Parties shall
deliver (x) on the Closing Date and annually thereafter an original certificate
of insurance signed by the Loan Parties' independent insurance broker describing

professional liability or errors and omissions coverage) (i) specify the Agent
as an additional insured, lender loss payee as its interests may appear, with
the understanding that any obligation imposed upon the insured (including the
liability to pay premiums) shall be the sole obligation of the applicable Loan
Parties and not that of the insured, (ii) to the extent generally available,

or violation by the applicable Loan Parties of any warranties, declarations or
conditions contained in such policies or any action or inaction of the
applicable Loan Parties or others insured under such policies, (iii) provide a
waiver of any right of the insurers to set off or counterclaim or any other
deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise, (iv) to the extent generally
available, provide that any and all rights of subrogation which the insurers may
have or acquire shall be, at all times and in all respects, junior and
subordinate to the prior payment in full of the Indebtedness hereunder and that
no insurer shall exercise or assert any right of subrogation until such time as
the Indebtedness hereunder has been paid in full and the Revolving Credit
Commitments have terminated, (v) provide, except in the case of public liability
insurance and workmen's compensation insurance, that all insurance proceeds for
losses of less than $2,000,000 shall be adjusted with and payable to the

$2,000,000 or more shall be adjusted with and payable to the Agent, (vi) include

written notice of such cancellation or change, (viii) be primary without right
of contribution of any other insurance carried by or on behalf of any additional
insureds with respect to their respective interests in the Collateral, and (ix)
provide that inasmuch as the policy covers more than one insured, all terms,
conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements (except limits of liability)
shall operate as if there were a separate policy covering each insured. The
applicable Loan Parties shall notify the Agent promptly of any occurrence
causing a material loss or decline in value of the Collateral and the estimated
(or
-48-
actual, if available) amount of such loss or decline. Any monies received by the
Agent constituting insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds may, at the
option of the Agent, (i) be applied by the Agent to the payment of the Revolving
Credit Loans in such manner as the Agent may reasonably determine, or (ii) be
disbursed to the applicable Loan Parties on such terms as are deemed reasonably
appropriate by the Agent for the repair, restoration and/or replacement of
property in respect of which such proceeds were received; provided that proceeds
shall be applied as the Loan Parties direct if, either (x) there are no
principal amounts of Revolving Credit Loans outstanding either at the time of
such casualty and at the time of the payment of such proceeds or (y) within
fifteen (15) Business Days of such a casualty in respect of tangible property,
the Loan Parties demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Banks that

replacements thereof if the failure to do so would cause or constitute a
Material Adverse Change.

Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
maintain in full force and effect all patents, trademarks, trade names,
copyrights, licenses, franchises, permits and other authorizations necessary for

affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, all in such detail and at such
times and as often as any of the Banks may reasonably request and, in all
events, during each of the four (4) fiscal quarters following the Closing Date,

funded in accordance with the minimum funding requirements of ERISA and shall
make, and cause each member of the ERISA Group to make, in a timely manner, all

remediation costs, other similar liabilities or injunctive relief which in the
aggregate would constitute a Material Adverse Change.

Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any of the Loan
Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
Agent to any Bank; (ii) that it has made and will continue to make, without
reliance upon the Agent, its own independent investigation of the financial
condition and affairs and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each of
the Loan Parties in connection with this Agreement and the making and
continuance of the Revolving Credit Loans hereunder; and (iii) except as
expressly provided herein, that the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility,
either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Bank with any credit
or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession
before the making of any Revolving Credit Loan or at any time or times
thereafter.
10.4 Actions in Discretion of Agent; Instructions from the Banks.
The Agent agrees, upon the written request of the Required Banks, to take
or refrain from taking any action of the type specified as being within the
Agent's rights, powers or
-67-
discretion herein, provided 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 any other Loan Document or applicable Law. In the absence of a
request by the Required Banks, the Agent shall have authority, in its sole
discretion, to take or not to take any such action, unless this Agreement
specifically requires the consent of the Required Banks or all of the Banks. Any
action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions or discretion shall
be binding on the Banks, subject to Section 10.6. Subject to the provisions of
Section 10.6, no Bank shall have any right of action whatsoever against the
Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in
accordance with the instructions of the Required Banks, or in the absence of
such instructions, in the absolute discretion of the Agent.
10.5 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by the Borrowers.
The Borrowers jointly and severally unconditionally agree to pay or
reimburse the Agent and save the Agent harmless against (a) liability for the
payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements,
including fees and expenses of counsel, appraisers and environmental
consultants, incurred by the Agent (i) in connection with the development,
negotiation, preparation, printing, execution, administration, syndication,
interpretation and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
(ii) relating to any requested amendments, waivers or consents pursuant to the
provisions hereof, (iii) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or
the proof and allowability of any claim arising under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, whether in bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or
otherwise, and (iv) in any workout, restructuring or in connection with the
protection, preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or
of any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection with
any foreclosure, collection or bankruptcy proceedings, and (b) 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 its capacity as such, in any
way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or
any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or thereunder, provided that
the Borrowers shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements if the same results from the Agent's gross negligence
or willful misconduct, or if PhyMatrix was not given notice of the subject claim
and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its expense
(except that the Borrowers shall remain liable to the extent such failure to
give notice does not result in a loss to the Borrowers), or if the same results
from a compromise or settlement agreement entered into without the consent of
PhyMatrix, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, the Borrowers
agrees to reimburse and pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent's
regular employees and agents engaged periodically to perform audits of the Loan
Parties' books, records and business properties.
10.6 Exculpatory Provisions.
Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents,
attorneys or Affiliates shall (a) be liable to any Bank for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in connection herewith including
pursuant to any Loan Document, unless caused by
-68-
its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (b) be responsible in
any manner to any of the Banks for the effectiveness, enforceability,
genuineness, validity or the due execution of this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents or for any recital, representation, warranty, document, certificate,
report or statement herein or made or furnished under or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or (c) be under any obligation to any of
the Banks to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any
of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof or thereof on the part of the Loan
Parties, or the financial condition of the Loan Parties, or the existence or
possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Default. Neither the
Agent nor any Bank nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents, attorneys or Affiliates shall be liable to any of the Loan Parties for
consequential damages resulting from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong
in connection with the negotiation, documentation, administration or collection
of the Revolving Credit Loans or any of the Loan Documents.
10.7 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by Banks.
Each Bank agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the Obligation of the Borrowers
to do so) in proportion to its Ratable Share from and against 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 its capacity as such, in any
way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or
any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or thereunder, provided that
no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements (a) if the same results from the Agent's gross negligence or
willful misconduct, or (b) if such Bank was not given notice of the subject
claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its expense
(except that such Bank shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give
notice does not result in a loss to the Bank), or (c) if the same results from a
compromise and settlement agreement entered into without the consent of such
Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, each Bank agrees
promptly upon demand to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrowers and without limiting the Obligation of the Borrowers to do so) in
proportion to its Ratable Share for all amounts due and payable by the Borrowers
to the Agent in connection with the Agent's periodic audit of the Loan Parties'
books, records and business properties.
10.8 Reliance by Agent.
The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any writing, telegram, resolution,
notice, consent, certificate, letter, cablegram, statement, order or other
document or conversation by telephone or otherwise believed by it to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or
Persons, and upon the advice and opinions of counsel and other professional
advisers selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to
its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which
may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
-69-
10.9 Notice of Default.
The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence
of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received
written notice from a Bank or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement,
describing such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a "notice of default."
10.10 Notices.
The Agent shall promptly send to each Bank a copy of all notices received
from PhyMatrix pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents promptly upon receipt thereof. The Agent shall promptly notify
PhyMatrix as agent for the Borrowers and the other Banks of each change in the
Base Rate and the effective date thereof.
10.11 Banks in Their Individual Capacities.
With respect to its Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Credit
Loans made by it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as
any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and
the term "Banks" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the
Agent in its individual capacity. PNC Bank and its Affiliates and each of the
Banks and their respective Affiliates may, without liability to account, except
as prohibited herein, make Revolving Credit Loans to, accept deposits from,
discount drafts for, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in
any kind of banking or trust business with, the Loan Parties and their
Affiliates, in the case of the Agent, as though it were not acting as Agent
hereunder and in the case of each Bank, as though such Bank were not a Bank
hereunder.
10.12 Holders of Notes.
The Agent may deem and treat any payee of any Note as the owner thereof for
all purposes hereof unless and until written notice of the assignment or
transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent. Any request, authority or
consent of any Person who at the time of making such request or giving such
authority or consent is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding
on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or
Notes issued in exchange therefor.
10.13 Equalization of Banks.
The Banks and the holders of any participations in any Notes agree among
themselves that, with respect to all amounts received by any Bank or any such
holder for application on any Obligation hereunder or under any Note or under
any such participation, whether received by voluntary payment, by realization
upon security, by the exercise of the right of set-off or banker's lien, by
counterclaim or by any other non-pro rata source, equitable adjustment will be
made in the manner stated in the following sentence so that, in effect, all such
excess amounts will be shared ratably among the Banks and such holders in
proportion to their interests in payments under the Notes, except as otherwise
provided in Sections 4.4.2, 5.4.2 or 5.6.1. The Banks or any such holder
receiving any such amount shall purchase for cash from each of the
-70-
other Banks an interest in such Bank's Revolving Credit Loans in such amount as
shall result in a ratable participation by the Banks and each such holder in the
aggregate unpaid amount under the Notes, provided that if all or any portion of
such excess amount is thereafter recovered from the Bank or the holder making
such purchase, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored
to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any,
required by law (including court order) to be paid by the Bank or the holder
making such purchase.
10.14 Successor Agent.
The Agent (i) may resign as Agent or (ii) shall resign if such resignation
is requested by the Required Banks (if the Agent is a Bank, the Agent's
Revolving Credit Loans and its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be considered
in determining whether the Required Banks have requested such resignation) or
required by Section 5.4.2, in either case of (i) or (ii) by giving not less than
thirty (30) days' prior written notice to PhyMatrix as agent for the Borrowers.
If the Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then either (a) the Required
Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor agent for the Banks,
subject to the consent of PhyMatrix as agent for the Borrowers, such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld, or (b) if a successor agent shall not be so
appointed and approved within the thirty (30) day period following the Agent's
notice to the Banks of its resignation, then the Agent shall appoint, with the
consent of PhyMatrix as agent for the Borrowers, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, a successor agent who shall serve as Agent until such
time as the Required Banks appoint and PhyMatrix as agent for the Borrowers
consents to the appointment of a successor agent. Upon its appointment pursuant
to either clause (a) or (b) above, such successor agent shall succeed to the
rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term "Agent" shall mean such
successor agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent's rights,
powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated without any other or further act
or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this
Agreement. After the resignation of any Agent hereunder, the provisions of this
Article 10 shall inure to the benefit of such former Agent and such former Agent
shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability
for any actions taken or not taken by it while it was an Agent under this
Agreement.
10.15 Agent's Fees.
The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent certain fees (the "Agent's Fees")
calculated and paid pursuant to the terms of an engagement letter executed and
delivered on or about July 1, 1997, which shall be payable, as required, through
the date on which all of the Obligations are satisfied.
10.16 Availability of Funds.
Unless the Agent shall have been notified by a Bank prior to the date upon
which a Revolving Credit Loan is to be made that such Bank does not intend to
make available to the Agent such Bank's portion of such Revolving Credit Loan,
the Agent may assume that such Bank has made or will make such proceeds
available to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption (but shall not be required to), make available to the Borrowers a
-71-
corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available
to the Agent by such Bank, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on
demand from such Bank (or, if such Bank fails to pay such amount forthwith upon
such demand from the Borrowers) together with interest thereon, in respect of
each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available
to the Borrowers and ending on the date the Agent recovers such amount, at a
rate per annum equal to the applicable interest rate in respect of the Revolving
Credit Loan.
10.17 Calculations.
In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Agent shall
not be liable for any error in computing the amount payable to any Bank whether
in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans, fees or any other amounts due to the
Banks under this Agreement. In the event an error in computing any amount
payable to any Bank is made, the Agent, the Borrowers and each affected Bank
shall, forthwith upon discovery of such error, make such adjustments as shall be
required to correct such error, and any compensation therefor will be calculated
at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.
10.18 Beneficiaries.
Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Article 10 are
solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks, and the Loan Parties shall
not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof (except
for the right to grant or withhold consent described in Section 10.14). In
performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act
solely as agent of the Banks and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have
assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any
of the Loan Parties.
11. MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Modifications, Amendments or Waivers.
With the written consent of the Required Banks, the Agent, acting on behalf
of all the Banks, and PhyMatrix, on behalf of the Loan Parties, may from time to
time enter into written agreements amending or changing any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the rights of the Banks or the Loan
Parties hereunder or thereunder, or may grant written waivers or consents to a
departure from the due performance of the Obligations of the Loan Parties
hereunder or thereunder. Any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such
written consent shall be effective to bind all the Banks and the Loan Parties;
provided, that, without the written consent of all the Banks, no such agreement,
waiver or consent may be made which will:
-72-
11.1.1 Increase of Revolving Credit Commitment; Extension or
Expiration Date.
Increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Bank
hereunder or extend the Expiration Date;
11.1.2 Extension of Payment; Reduction of Principal Interest or Fees;
Modification of Terms of Payment.
Whether or not any Revolving Credit Loans are outstanding, extend the
time for payment of principal or interest of any Revolving Credit Loan, the
Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any Bank, or reduce the principal
amount of or the rate of interest borne by any Revolving Credit Loan or reduce
the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any Bank, or otherwise affect the
terms of payment of the principal of or interest of any Revolving Credit Loan,
the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any Bank;
11.1.3 Release of Collateral or Guarantor.
Except for sales of assets permitted by Section 8.2.7, release any
Collateral, any Guarantor from its Obligations under the Guaranty Agreement or
any other security for any of the Loan Parties' Obligations; or
11.1.4 Miscellaneous.
Amend Sections 5.2, 10.6 or 10.13 or this Section, alter any provision
regarding the pro rata treatment of the Banks, change the definition of Required
Banks, or change any requirement providing for the Banks or the Required Banks
to authorize the taking of any action hereunder.
No agreement, waiver or consent which would modify the interests,
rights or obligations of the Agent in its capacity as Agent or as the issuer of
Letters of Credit shall be effective without the written consent of the Agent.
11.2 No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies; Writing Required.
No course of dealing and no delay or failure of the Agent or any Bank in
exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power, remedy or
privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power,
remedy or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Banks under
this Agreement and any other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of
any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. Any waiver, permit,
consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Bank of any
breach or default under this Agreement or any such waiver of any provision or
condition of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to
the extent specifically set forth in such writing.
-73-
11.3 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Banks by the Borrowers; Taxes.
The Borrowers jointly and severally agree unconditionally upon demand to
pay or reimburse to each Bank (other than the Agent, as to which the Borrowers'
Obligations are set forth in Section 10.5) and to save such Bank harmless
against 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 such Bank,
in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Bank
hereunder or thereunder, provided that the Borrowers shall not be liable for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (A) if the same results from
such Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (B) if PhyMatrix was not
given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the
defense thereof, at its expense (except that the Borrowers shall remain liable
to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the
Borrowers), or (C) if the same results from a compromise or settlement agreement
entered into without the consent of PhyMatrix as agent for the Borrowers, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Banks will attempt to minimize the fees
and expenses of legal counsel for the Banks which are subject to reimbursement
by the Borrowers hereunder by considering the usage of one law firm to represent
the Banks and the Agent if appropriate under the circumstances. The Borrowers
jointly and severally agree unconditionally to pay all stamp, document,
transfer, recording or filing taxes or fees and similar impositions now or
hereafter determined by the Agent or any Bank to be payable in connection with
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the Borrowers jointly and
severally agree unconditionally to save the Agent and the Banks harmless from
and against any and all present or future claims, liabilities or losses with
respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such
taxes, fees or impositions.
11.4 Holidays.
Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken hereunder shall be
stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment or action
shall be made or taken on the next following Business Day (except as provided in
Section 4.2.1 with respect to Interest Periods under the Euro-Rate Option), and
such extension of time shall be included in computing interest or fees, if any,
in connection with such payment or action.
11.5 Funding by Branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate.
11.5.1 Notional Funding.
Each Bank shall have the right from time to time, without notice to
the Borrowers, to deem any branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate (which for the
purposes of this Section 11.5 shall mean any corporation or association which is
directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common
control with any corporation or association which directly or indirectly
controls such Bank) of such Bank to have made, maintained or funded any
Revolving Credit Loan to which the Euro-Rate Option applies at any time,
provided that immediately following (on the assumption that a payment were then
due from the Borrowers to
-74-
such other office), and as a result of such change, the Borrowers would not be
under any greater financial obligation pursuant to Section 5.6 than it would
have been in the absence of such change. Notional funding offices may be
selected by each Bank without regard to the Bank's actual methods of making,
maintaining or funding the Revolving Credit Loans or any sources of funding
actually used by or available to such Bank.
11.5.2 Actual Funding.
Each Bank shall have the right from time to time to make or maintain
any Revolving Credit Loan by arranging for a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of
such Bank to make or maintain such Revolving Credit Loan subject to the last
sentence of this Section. If any Bank causes a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate
to make or maintain any part of the Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, all terms
and conditions of this Agreement shall, except where the context clearly
requires otherwise, be applicable to such part of the Revolving Credit Loans to
the same extent as if such Revolving Credit Loans were made or maintained by
such Bank, but in no event shall any Bank's use of such a branch, Subsidiary or
Affiliate to make or maintain any part of the Revolving Credit Loans hereunder
cause such Bank or such branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to incur any cost or
expenses payable by the Borrowers hereunder or require the Borrowers to pay any
other compensation to any Bank (including any expenses incurred or payable
pursuant to Section 5.6) which would otherwise not be incurred.
11.6 Notices.
All notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications (as
used in this Section, collectively referred to as "notices") given to or made
upon any party hereto under the provisions of this Agreement shall be by
telephone or in writing (including facsimile communication) unless otherwise
expressly permitted hereunder and shall be delivered or sent by facsimile to the
respective parties at the addresses and numbers set forth under their respective
names on the signature pages hereof or in accordance with any subsequent
unrevoked written direction from any party to the others. All notices shall,
except as otherwise expressly herein provided, be effective (a) in the case of
facsimile, when received, (b) in the case of hand-delivered notice, when
hand-delivered, (c) in the case of telephone, when telephoned, provided,
however, that in order to be effective, telephonic notices must be confirmed in
writing no later than the next day by letter, facsimile, (d) if given by mail,
four (4) days after such communication is deposited in the mail with first-class
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and (e) if given by any other means
(including by air courier), when delivered; provided, that notices to the Agent
shall not be effective until received. Any Bank giving any notice to any Loan
Party shall simultaneously send a copy thereof to the Agent, and the Agent shall
promptly notify the other Banks of the receipt by it of any such notice.
11.7 Severability.
The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any
provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or
in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or
-75-
unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability
thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any
jurisdiction.
11.8 Governing Law.
Each Letter of Credit and Section 2.9 shall be subject to the Uniform
Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International
Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, as the same may be revised or amended
from time to time, and to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the internal
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its conflict of laws
principles and the balance of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract
under the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all purposes shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its conflict of laws
principles.
11.9 Prior Understanding.
This Agreement supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, whether
written or oral, between the parties hereto and thereto relating to the
transactions provided for herein and therein, including any prior
confidentiality agreements and commitments.
11.10 Duration; Survival.
All representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained herein or
made in connection herewith shall survive the making of Revolving Credit Loans,
issuance of Letters of Credit and shall not be waived by the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, any investigation by the Agent or the Banks, the
making of Revolving Credit Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, but shall
terminate on payment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans. All covenants and
agreements of the Loan Parties contained in Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 herein
shall continue in full force and effect from and after the date hereof so long
as the Borrowers may borrow or request Letters of Credit hereunder and until
termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and expiration or termination of
all Letters of Credit. All covenants and agreements of the Borrowers contained
herein relating to the payment of principal, interest, premiums, additional
compensation or expenses and indemnification, including those set forth in the
Notes, Article 5 and Sections 10.5, 10.7 and 11.3, shall survive payment in full
of the Revolving Credit Loans, expiration or termination of the Letters of
Credit and termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments.
11.11 Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
Banks, the Agent, the Loan Parties and their respective successors and assigns,
except that none of the Loan Parties may assign or transfer any of its rights
and Obligations hereunder or any interest herein. Each Bank may, at its own
cost, make assignments of or sell participations in all or any part of its
Revolving Credit Commitment and the Revolving Credit Loans made by it to one or
more banks or other entities, subject to the consent of the Borrowers and the
Agent with respect to any assignee, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, and provided that assignments
-76-
may not be made in amounts less than $5,000,000 and provided further no consent
of the Borrowers shall be required (x) if there exists any Potential Default or
Event of Default or (y) in the case of any assignment from any Bank to any other
Bank or any Affiliate thereof. In the case of an assignment, upon receipt by the
Agent of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee shall have, to
the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same
rights, benefits and obligations as it would have if it had been a signatory
Bank hereunder, the Revolving Credit Commitments in Section 2.1 shall be
adjusted accordingly, and upon surrender of any Note subject to such assignment,
the Borrowers shall execute and deliver a new Note to the assignee in an amount
equal to the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by it and a new
Note to the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment
retained by it hereunder. The assigning Bank shall pay to the Agent a service
fee in the amount of $3,500 for each assignment. In the case of a participation,
the participant shall only have the rights specified in Section 9.2.3 (the
participant's rights against such Bank in respect of such participation to be
those set forth in the agreement executed by such Bank in favor of the
participant relating thereto and not to include any voting rights except with
respect to changes of the type referenced in clauses 11.1.1, 11.1.2, or 11.1.3
under Section 11.1), all of such Bank's obligations under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall remain unchanged, and all amounts payable by any Loan
Party hereunder or thereunder shall be determined as if such Bank had not sold
such participation. Any assignee or participant which is not incorporated under
the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall deliver to the
Borrowers and the Agent the form of certificate described in Section 11.17
relating to federal income tax withholding. Each Bank may furnish any publicly
available information concerning any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries and any
other information concerning any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries in the
possession of such Bank from time to time to assignees and participants
(including prospective assignees or participants), provided that such assignees
and participants agree to be bound by the provisions of Section 11.12.
11.12 Confidentiality.
The Agent and the Banks each agree to keep confidential all information
obtained from any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries which is nonpublic and
confidential or proprietary in nature (including any information the Borrowers
specifically designate as confidential), except as provided below, and to use
such information only in connection with their respective capacities under this
Agreement and for the purposes contemplated hereby. The Agent and the Banks
shall be permitted to disclose such information (i) to outside legal counsel,
accountants and other professional advisors who need to know such information in
connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement, subject to
agreement of such Persons to maintain the confidentiality, (ii) to assignees and
participants as contemplated by Section 11.11, (iii) to the extent requested by
any bank regulatory authority or, with notice to PhyMatrix as agent for the
Borrowers, as otherwise required by applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar
legal process, or in connection with any investigation or proceeding arising out
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) if it becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or becomes
available from a source not subject to confidentiality restrictions, or (v) if
the Borrowers shall have consented to such disclosure.
-77-
11.13 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed by different parties hereto on any number of
separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be
an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the
same instrument.
11.14 Agent's or Bank's Consent.
Whenever the Agent's or any Bank's consent is required to be obtained under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as a condition to any action,
inaction, condition or event, the Agent and each Bank shall be authorized to
give or withhold such consent in its reasonable discretion and to condition its
consent upon the giving of additional collateral, the payment of money or any
other matter.
11.15 Exceptions.
The representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall be
independent of each other, and no exception to any representation, warranty or
covenant shall be deemed to be an exception to any other representation,
warranty or covenant contained herein unless expressly provided, nor shall any
such exceptions be deemed to permit any action or omission that would be in
contravention of applicable Law.
11.16 CONSENT TO FORUM; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY AND THE UNITED
