TERMS
-----
In consideration of the terms and conditions contained herein, and of
any loans or extensions of credit now or hereafter made to or for the benefit of
Borrowers by Bank, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby,
agree as follows:
1. GENERAL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
1.1. CONFIRMATION OF BACKGROUND. Medifax hereby ratifies, confirms and
acknowledges that the statements contained in the foregoing Background are true
and complete in all material respects and that the Existing Loan Documents are
valid, binding and in full force and effect as of the date hereof and fully
enforceable against Medifax and its assets in accordance with the terms thereof.
1.2. VALIDITY OF LIENS. All liens, security interests, rights and
remedies granted to Bank in the Existing Loan Documents are hereby renewed,
confirmed and continued, and shall also secure the performance by Borrowers of
their respective obligations hereunder.
1.3. CHALLENGE TO ENFORCEMENT. Medifax acknowledges and agrees that it
has no defense, set-off, counterclaim or challenge against the payment of any
sums owing under the Existing Loan Documents.
1.4. NO SATISFACTION. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that, except as
expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any other agreement
entered in connection herewith or pursuant to the terms hereof shall be deemed
or construed to be a compromise, satisfaction, reinstatement, accord and
satisfaction, novation or release of any of the Existing Loan Documents, or any
rights or obligations thereunder, or a waiver by Bank of any of its rights under
the Existing Loan Documents or at law or in equity.
2. THE LINE; TERM LOAN; USE OF PROCEEDS. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, Bank will make the following credit facilities available to
Borrowers:
2.1. LINE OF CREDIT. Bank will establish for Borrowers for and during
the period following the Closing and until June 30, 1998 (the "CONTRACT
PERIOD"), subject to the terms and conditions hereof, a line of credit (the
"LINE") pursuant to which Bank will from time to time make loans or extensions
of credit to Borrowers in an outstanding principal amount of up to the lesser
of: (a) an amount up to eighty percent (80%) of the amount of Borrowers'
Eligible Receivables, or (b) Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00). Within the
limitations set forth above, Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow under the
Line. The Line shall be subject to all terms and conditions set forth in all of
the Loan Documents (as hereafter defined) which
-2-
4
terms and conditions are incorporated herein. Maintenance of the Line shall be
conditioned on Borrowers' continued compliance with the terms and conditions
hereof and of the Loan Documents. Borrowers' obligation to repay the sums
advanced under the Line shall be evidenced by Borrowers' second amended and
restated promissory note (the "LINE NOTE") in the face amount of Ten Million
Dollars ($10,000,000.00) which shall be in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT
"A". The Line Note amends and restates, but does not satisfy or repay, Medifax's
and Secrephone's obligations under the Existing Line Note. The Line shall be
subject to review and renewal for a term beyond the stated Contract Period, at
the sole discretion of Bank. In the event the Bank elects not to renew the Line,
Bank shall give Borrowers at least one hundred twenty (120) days written notice
of such election. If the Bank elects not to renew the Line, the Line shall
expire at the end of the Contract Period.
2.2. TERM LOAN. Bank will lend to Borrowers and Borrowers will borrow
from Bank Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000.00) (the "TERM LOAN"). Borrowers'
obligation to repay the Term Loan shall be evidenced by Borrowers' amended and
restated promissory note in the face amount of Seven Million Dollars
($7,000,000.00) (the "TERM NOTE"), which shall be in the form attached hereto as
EXHIBIT "B", with the blanks appropriately filled in. The Term Note amends and
restates, but does not repay or satisfy, Borrowers' obligations under the
Existing Term Note. Hereunder, the Line Note and the Term Note are sometimes
collectively referred to as the "NOTES" and the Line and the Term Loan are
sometimes collectively referred to as the "LOANS".
2.3. USE OF PROCEEDS.
(a) LINE PROCEEDS. Borrowers agree to use the proceeds of the Line
for working capital purposes of Borrowers. Except as otherwise provided
hereunder, the Line proceeds may not be utilized to make loans, advance funds as
debt or equity to any Subsidiary, or purchase stock or a substantial portion of
the assets of any corporation, partnership or other business entity or any
division thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in the
Section shall be deemed to prohibit any inter-company advances and payments
between the Borrowers.
(b) TERM LOAN PROCEEDS. Borrowers agree to use the proceeds of the
Term Loan to (i) refinance existing indebtedness of MRC to The Huntington
National Bank and (ii) restate certain term indebtedness of Medifax to Bank.
(c) NO ADVANCES FOR MARGIN SECURITY. Borrowers shall not carry or
purchase with the proceeds of the Line or the Term Loan any "MARGIN SECURITY"
within the meaning of Regulations U, G, T or X of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.
2.4. METHOD OF ADVANCES. Bank may make proceeds of the Line available
to a Borrower by (a) crediting such proceeds to that Borrower's deposit account
with Bank, or (b) upon receipt of written instructions from the Borrowers, by
wiring transfer to a deposit account
-3-
5
maintained by any Borrower at another financial institution. Bank's records
relating to such deposit account together with Bank's records showing other
advances made to Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement (including all wire
transfers made pursuant to this Section) and all repayments hereunder shall be
conclusive evidence of the balance due under the Line, absent manifest error.
2.5. CLOSING. Execution and delivery of this Agreement and all
documents and agreements required hereunder will take place on or before July
31, 1996 or on such later date as Borrowers and Bank may agree (the "CLOSING").
2.6. INTEREST ON THE LINE. Interest will accrue on cash advances under
the Line from date of advance until final payment thereof at one or more of the
following rates as selected by Borrowers from time to time:
(a) LINE BASE RATE. The Line Base Rate in effect from time to time
(such interest rate to change immediately upon any change in the Base Rate); or
(b) LIBOR. By giving Notification, Borrowers may request to have
all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the Line as hereinafter
permitted accrue interest at a rate equal to the Line LIBOR Rate as follows: (i)
with respect to the principal amount of any advance under the Line, from the
date of such advance until the end of the Line Rate Period specified in the
Notification; and/or (ii) with respect to the principal amount of any portion of
the Line outstanding and earning interest at a Line LIBOR Rate at the time of
the Notification related to such principal amount, from the expiration of the
then current Line Rate Period related to such principal amount until the end of
the Line Rate Period specified in the Notification; and/or (iii) with respect to
all or any portion of the principal amount of the Line outstanding and earning
interest at the Line Base Rate at the time of Notification, from the date set
forth in the Notification until the end of the Line Rate Period specified in the
Notification.
(c) MULTIPLE RATES. Borrowers understand and agree that: (i)
subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Line Base Rate and the Line
LIBOR Rate may apply simultaneously to different parts of the outstanding
principal balance of the Line, (ii) the Line LIBOR Rate applicable to any
portion of outstanding principal of the Line may be different from the Line
LIBOR Rate applicable to any other portion of outstanding principal of the Line,
(iii) portions of the Line bearing interest at the Line LIBOR Rate must be in a
minimum increment of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) and multiples
of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), (iv) as of any one time or from
time to time, there will be no more than four (4) different rates of interest
applicable to advances and loans made under the Line (for example, three (3)
Line LIBOR Loans bearing different Line LIBOR Rates and all remaining
outstandings bearing interest at the Line Base Rate); and (v) Bank shall have
the right to terminate any Line Rate Period and the Line LIBOR Rate applicable
thereto, prior to maturity of such Line Rate Period (without any prepayment
penalty payable by Borrowers as a result of such termination), if Bank
determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive)
-4-
6
that continuance of such interest rate has been made unlawful by any law,
statute, rule or regulation, to which Bank may be subject, in which event the
principal to which such terminated Line Rate Period relates thereafter shall
earn interest at the Line Base Rate.
2.7. INTEREST ON THE TERM LOAN. Interest will accrue on the outstanding
principal balance of the Term Loan from date of advance until final payment
thereof at one of the following rates as selected by Borrowers from time to
time:
(a) TERM BASE RATE. The Term Base Rate in effect from time to time
(such interest rate to change immediately upon any change in the Base Rate); or
(b) LIBOR. By giving Notification, Borrowers may request to have
the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan as hereinafter permitted
accrue interest at a rate equal to the Term LIBOR Rate as follows: (i) with
respect to the initial advance of funds under the Term Loan, from the date of
such advance until the end of the Term Rate Period specified in the
Notification; and/or (ii) if the Term Loan is accruing interest at a Term LIBOR
Rate, from the expiration of the then current Term Rate Period until the end of
the Term Rate Period specified in the Notification; and/or (iii) if the Term
Loan is accruing interest at the Term Base Rate, from the date set forth in the
Notification until the end of the Term Rate Period specified in the
Notification.
(c) TERMINATION OF LIBOR. Bank shall have the right to terminate
any Term Rate Period and the Term LIBOR Rate applicable thereto, prior to
maturity of such Term Rate Period (without any prepayment penalty payable by
Borrowers as a result of such termination), if Bank determines in good faith
(which determination shall be conclusive) that continuance of such interest rate
has been made unlawful by any law, statute, rule or regulation, to which Bank
may be subject, in which event the principal to which such terminated Term Rate
Period relates thereafter shall earn interest at the Term Base Rate.
2.8. DEFAULT INTEREST. Interest will accrue on the principal balance of
the Loans after the occurrence of an Event of Default at a rate which is two and
one-half percent (2 1/2%) in excess of the applicable non-default rate otherwise
set forth above for the Line or the Term Loan.
2.9. POST JUDGMENT INTEREST. Any judgment obtained for sums due
hereunder or under the Loan Documents will accrue interest at the applicable
default rate set forth above until paid.
2.10. CALCULATION. Interest will be computed on the basis of a year of
365 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.
2.11. LIMITATION OF INTEREST TO MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE. In no event will
the rate of interest payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest
permitted to be charged by
-5-
7
applicable law (including the choice of law rules) and any interest paid in
excess of the permitted rate will be refunded to Borrowers. Such refund will be
made by application of the excessive amount of interest paid against any sums
outstanding hereunder and will be applied in such order as Bank may determine.
If the excessive amount of interest paid exceeds the sums outstanding, the
portion exceeding the sums outstanding will be refunded in cash by Bank. Any
such crediting or refunding will not cure or waive any default by Borrowers.
Borrowers agree, however, that in determining whether or not any interest
payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate permitted by law, any non-principal
payment, including without limitation prepayment fees and late charges, will be
deemed to the extent permitted by law to be an expense, fee, premium or penalty
rather than interest.
2.12. LETTER OF CREDIT ADVANCES. Advances may be made under the Line,
at the discretion of Bank, by the issuance of stand-by letters of credit in form
and content satisfactory to Bank, at its sole discretion, with a term not to
exceed twelve (12) months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) at no time shall
the aggregate face amount of all outstanding stand-by letters of credit issued
under the Line exceed the amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars
($300,000.00); and (b) at no time shall the amount advanced under the Line plus
the aggregate face amount of all outstanding stand-by letters of credit issued
under the Line exceed the amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00).
Borrowers shall execute a letter of credit agreement and such other documents as
may be required by the Bank in connection with the issuance of stand-by letters
of credit pursuant to the terms hereof. Issuance or renewal of standby letters
of credit pursuant to the terms hereof shall constitute an advance under the
Line.
In the event that the Line is terminated for any reason (including
the expiration of the Line) or demand is made thereunder, Borrowers shall be
obligated to deposit with Bank an amount equal to the face amount of all
stand-by letters of credit then outstanding which have been issued hereunder
plus all fees to accrue thereunder. Such funds will be held by Bank as cash
collateral in a money market account at Bank (such account shall bear interest
at the Bank's prevailing rate of interest which rate may not be the highest or
best rate of interest paid by the Bank) to secure Borrowers' obligation to
reimburse to Bank all payments made pursuant to any draws made under such
stand-by letters of credit plus all fees to accrue thereunder. In the event such
stand-by letters of credit (a) expire, or (b) are replaced and the originals
thereof returned to Bank, Bank will release the cash collateral related to such
expired or replaced letters of credit

agree that, to the extent any Borrower makes a payment or payments and such
payment or payments, or any part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared

form of the issuance or renewal of a stand-by letter of credit, Borrowers shall
pay to Bank an issuance or renewal fee in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of

will pay or cause to be paid when due all taxes, assessments, governmental
charges or levies imposed upon it or its income, profits, payroll or any

a lien or charge upon any of its properties or assets; provided that it shall
not be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so long
as the validity thereof shall be contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings promptly initiated and diligently conducted by it, and neither
execution nor foreclosure sale or similar proceedings shall have been commenced
in respect thereof (or such proceedings shall have been stayed pending the
disposition of such contest of validity), and it shall have set aside on its
books adequate reserves with respect thereto.
6.6. LIENS. No Borrower will create, incur or permit to exist any
mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, lien, security interest or charge of any kind
(including liens or charges upon properties acquired or to be acquired under

profits therefrom, except:
(a) Security interests held by Bank to secure Bank Indebtedness;
(b) Liens incurred or deposits made in the ordinary course of

under SECTION 6.4, each Borrower (a) will obtain, preserve and keep in full

conduct of its business or affairs; (b) will continue to operate its business as

coinsurance provisions) and against all such liability and hazards as are
usually carried by entities engaged in the same or a similar business similarly
situated and in the case of insurance on any of the Collateral shall carry
insurance in the full insurable value thereof and cause Bank to be named as loss
payee and additional insured thereunder, as its interests may appear with thirty
(30) days' notice to be given Bank by the insurance carrier prior to
cancellation of such insurance coverage. Each Borrower shall cause to be
delivered to Bank the insurance policies therefor and at least thirty (30)
business days prior to the expiration of any such insurance, additional policies
or duplicates thereof evidencing the renewal of such insurance and payment of
the premiums therefor. Borrowers shall direct all insurers that in the event of
any loss thereunder or the cancellation of any insurance policy, the insurers
shall make payments for such loss and pay all return or unearned premiums
directly to Bank and not to Borrowers, or either of them, and Bank jointly;
provided, however, that any payments (including unearned premiums) by insurers
for losses sustained by Borrowers may be paid directly to Borrowers if the
aggregate amount of all such losses occurring in any one year does not exceed
(x) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), and (y) no Event of
Default exists hereunder. If any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or
other instrument payable to a Borrower and Bank jointly, Bank may endorse that
Borrower's name thereon and do such other things as Bank may deem advisable to
reduce the same to cash. In the event of loss, Bank, at its option, may (i)
retain and apply all or any part of the insurance proceeds to reduce, in such
order and amounts as Bank may elect the Bank Indebtedness, or (ii) disburse all
or any part of such insurance proceeds to or for the benefit of Borrowers for
the purpose of repairing or replacing Collateral after receiving proof
satisfactory to Bank of such repair or replacement, in either case without
waiving or impairing the Bank Indebtedness or any provision of this Agreement.
Any deficiency thereon shall be paid by Borrowers to Bank upon demand. No
Borrower shall take out any insurance without having Bank named as loss payee or
additional insured thereon. Borrowers shall bear the full risk of loss from any
loss of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Collateral, except as may
result from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Bank.
6.9. INSPECTIONS; AUDITS. If (a) within thirty (30) days after written
request from Bank to Borrowers, Borrowers fail to provide to Bank the financial
information specifically requested by Bank in such notice and such information
is available to Borrower, or (b) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize and direct all accountants
and auditors employed by Borrowers at any time to exhibit and deliver to Bank
(x) in the case of (a) above, the specific financial information required by
Bank in its written notice, and (b) in the case of an Event of Default, copies
of any and all of Borrowers' financial statements, trial balances or other
accounting records of any sort in the accountant's or auditor's
-17-
19

Borrowers' financial status and business operations. Borrowers further authorize

designate, may visit and inspect any of the properties of any Borrower, examine
(either by Bank's employees or by independent accountants) any of the Collateral
or other assets of Borrowers, including the books of account of Borrowers, and
discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of Borrowers with their officers and
with their independent accountants, at such times as Bank may desire. Prior to
the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the Loan
Documents, Bank agrees to conduct such examinations and inspections only during
normal business hours and upon reasonable notice.
6.10. CAPITAL STOCK; DIVIDENDS. Medifax will not redeem, repurchase or
otherwise make any payment or distribution to acquire any of its capital stock,
except as provided herein. Medifax will not pay dividends or make other
distributions on account of its capital stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Bank hereby agrees to permit Medifax to pay dividends on account of its capital
stock; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred hereunder or under any
of the Loan Documents, (b) the payment of such dividend(s) shall not result in
the occurrence of any event which with the passage of time or giving of notice,
if applicable, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder or under any of
the Loan Documents, and (c) such dividends shall not exceed forty percent (40%)
in any fiscal year of Medifax's consolidated net income for that year (as
determined in accordance with GAAP). The Bank hereby agrees to permit Medifax to
redeem thirty-five thousand (35,000) shares of its capital stock from Xx. Xxxx
Xxxxxx at Four Dollars and Twenty-Three Cents ($4.23) per share on or before
November 30, 1996.
6.11. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. From the date of this Agreement, no
Borrower shall enter into or conduct any transaction with any Affiliate except
on terms that would be usual and customary in a similar transaction between
persons not affiliated with each other and except as disclosed to Bank. No
Borrower will make any loans or extensions of credit to any of its Affiliates,
shareholders, directors or officers, except for the existing loans described in
SCHEDULE 6.11 attached hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to prohibit (a) any inter-company advances and payments
between the Borrowers, or (b) advances for moving or other similar allowances
extended by Borrowers, or either of them, in the ordinary course, provided that
such advances and allowances shall not at any time exceed in the aggregate One
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00).

records.
6.14. NOTICES. Borrowers will promptly notify Bank of (i) any action or
proceeding brought against any Borrower wherein such action or proceeding would,

Event of Default, (iii) any fact, condition or event which, with the giving of
notice or the passage of time or both, could become an Event of Default, or (iv)
the failure of any Borrower to observe any of its undertakings under the Loan
Documents.
6.15. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS AND FUTURE ACTIONS. Borrowers will provide
Bank from time to time on request by Bank with such agreements, financing
statements and additional instruments, documents or information as the Bank may
in its discretion reasonably deem necessary or advisable to perfect, protect and
maintain the security interests in the collateral, to permit Bank to protect its
interest in the Collateral or to carry out the terms of the Loan Documents. Each
Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and appoints Bank as its
attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute on that Borrower's
behalf and file at Bank's expense financing statements, and amendments thereto,
in those public offices deemed necessary or appropriate by Bank to establish,
maintain and protect a continuously perfected security interest in the
Collateral. Borrowers irrevocably authorize the filing of a carbon, photographic
or other copy of this Agreement, or of a financing statement, as a financing
statement and agree that such filing is sufficient as a financing statement.
6.16. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. Unless Bank notifies Borrowers in writing
that it dispenses with any one or more of the following requirements, Borrowers
will (a) inform Bank immediately of the rejection of goods, claims made or delay
in delivery or performance in regard to any account or contract right upon which
Borrowers have based availability for advances under the Line, the disputed
amount of which account or contract right exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000.00) or the aggregate amount of all such accounts or contract rights
exceeds Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) at any time or from
time to time; and (b) immediately notify Bank if any of its accounts arise out
of contracts with the United States or any department, agency or instrumentality

assigned to Bank and notice thereof given to the Government under the Federal
Assignment of Claims Act.
Borrowers will (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of
an Event of Default, segregate cash proceeds of Collateral so that they may be
identified readily, and deliver the same to the Bank at such time or times and
in such manner and form as the Bank may direct; (ii) use their best efforts to
obtain from any owner, encumbrancer or other person having an
-19-
21
interest in the property where any Collateral is located, written consent to
Bank's removal of the Collateral therefrom, without liability on the part of the
Bank to such owner, encumbrancer or other person, or from any such owner,
encumbrancer or other person such waivers of any interest in the Collateral as
the Bank may require; and (iii) immediately pay to Bank any overadvance arising
under the Line.

security for all obligations of Borrowers to Bank under the Loan Documents or
otherwise. At any time and from time to time following the occurrence of an
Event of Default, or an event which with the giving of notice or passage of time
or both would constitute an Event of Default, Bank may without notice or demand,
set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,

under the Loan Documents or affect the duties or obligations of Borrowers.
