AGREEMENT made as of the 27th day of December, 1996, between
COMMUNITY CARE OF AMERICA, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Borrower"), and IHS
FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Lender" or "Manager").
WHEREAS, Borrower and Lender are concurrently herewith
entering into a Management Agreement (the "Management Agreement") pursuant to
which Borrower has engaged the services of Lender to manage various functions of
the Borrower's business; and
WHEREAS, Lender is willing to make available to the Borrower a
revolving line of credit in the maximum aggregate amount of $5,000,000, and
Borrower wishes to obtain such revolving line of credit, all upon the terms and
conditions of this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby
agree that:
1. IHS Revolving Line of Credit.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the
representations and warranties of the Borrower herein set forth, Lender hereby
makes available to Borrower a revolving line of credit (the "IHS Line of
Credit") in the aggregate maximum principal amount outstanding at any time of
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($5,000,000). It is contemplated that, subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the Borrower will be permitted to effect draws under the
IHS Line of Credit at any time and from time to time during the period that
commences on the date hereof and ends on the second anniversary of the date
hereof.
(b) Lender shall not be required to make any advances under the IHS Line of
Credit to the Borrower unless all of the following conditions shall have been
satisfied at the time the advance is requested and at the time such advance is
to be made: (i) all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower
in this Agreement and the Management Agreement shall be true and correct in all
respects at and as of the date on which such advance is to be made with the same
force and effect as if each such representation or warranty were made at and as
of such time, and in furtherance thereof, the Borrower shall automatically be
deemed to have remade each of such representations and warranties on each such
date; (ii) the Borrower shall have performed and complied with all covenants,
agreements and obligations required to be performed or complied with by it, on
or prior to the date on which such advance is to be made; (iii) no Event of
Default (as defined in Section 5) shall have occurred and be continuing; (iv)
the Borrower shall have complied with the procedure set forth in subsection (c)
below with respect to such advance; and (v) Lender shall have consented to the
making of such advance, such consent not to, be unreasonably withheld; provided,
however, that Lender's consent to the making of an advance shall not be required
if the proceeds of such advance are applied to payment of fees under the
Management Agreement.
(c) (i) If the Borrower shall desire that Lender make an advance to it, it
shall provide Lender with a written request, certified to be true, complete and
correct by its President or Chief Financial Officer, at least forty-eight (48)
hours prior to the date on which the borrowing is to be made. Such request shall
set forth: (A) the amount of the requested advance, (B) the proposed use thereof
in reasonable detail, and (C) shall contain a statement that: (I) all of the
representations and warranties made in this Agreement are true and correct in
all respects as if made on the date of the request, (II) the Borrower is in
compliance with all of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement and
the Management Agreement, and (III) no Event of Default has occurred. Such
request shall also contain an undertaking by the individual executing same to
immediately notify Lender if any of the statements made therein shall become
untrue, incomplete or incorrect after the date of delivery and on or prior to
the date of the requested borrowing.
(ii) If the Manager shall desire that an advance be made to the Borrower,
it shall provide the Borrower with notice (which notice may be oral) thereof at
least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the date on which the borrowing is to be
made. Such request shall set forth: (A) the amount of the requested advance, and
(B) the proposed use thereof in reasonable detail. No such advance shall be made
at Manager's request (unless pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Management
Agreement) without the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed given unless Borrower shall otherwise
notify Manager (which notice may be oral) within forty-eight hours of said
request. (d) The proceeds of each advance shall be used as directed by the
Manager in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement.
(e) Lender shall have no obligation to make any further advances if the
payment of the Note (as defined below) shall have been accelerated.
2. Loan Note.
The obligation of the Borrower to repay the unpaid principal amount of the
IHS Line of Credit, together with interest thereon, and Lender's fees and costs
in connection therewith shall be evidenced by that certain Subordinated Note
dated December 27, 1996 (the "Note") of Borrower of even date herewith, payable
to the order of Lender in a face amount equal to the maximum loan amount set
forth in Section 1, above, and having a maturity date which is on the second
anniversary of the date hereof (the "Maturity Date").
3. Repayment of IHS Line of Credit.
Interest on the IHS Line of Credit shall be payable monthly during the
period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Maturity Date. Such
interest shall be payable at a rate per annum equal to the annual rate of
interest set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement by and between Integrated
Health Services, Inc., as Borrower, and Citibank, N.A., as Lender, dated May 16,
1996 plus two (2%) percent.
4. Additional Covenants of Borrowers.

information that the Lender may reasonably deem necessary or desirable;
(b) duly pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and governmental charges
owed by or against the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or any of their
respective properties, prior to the date on which penalty will attach thereto,
unless and only to the extent that any such taxes are contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings by the Borrower;

regulations governing the operation of the Borrower's business;

Agreement and all other instruments executed in connection with this

Borrower; and
(h) permit the Lender to designate one additional member of the Board of
Directors of Borrower.
5. Events of Default.
At the option of Lender, all or any part of the Obligations shall
immediately become due and payable irrespective of any agreed maturity upon the
happening of any of the following events of default ("Events of Default"): (a)
any Acceleration Event occurs under the Note; (b) any breach by the Borrower of
any of its representations or warranties under this Agreement or the Management
Agreement; (c) any other breach of this Agreement which breach continues for a
period of sixty (60) days following notice from Lender to the Borrower; or (d)
the termination of the Management Agreement.
6. Waivers.
The Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights upon or
under any of the Obligations unless such waiver be in writing, shall expressly
refer to this Section 6 and shall be signed by the Lender. No delay or omission
on the part of the Lender on Obligations, whether evidenced hereby or by any
other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised separately
or concurrently.
7. Transfers by Lender.
Subject to the same limitations as are set forth in Section 11.1 of the
Management Agreement, Lender may transfer any or all of the Obligations.
8. Definition of Borrowers.
The term "Borrower" as used throughout this Agreement shall include (a) its
successors and assigns; (b) any individual, association, trust, partnership,
corporation, or other entity to which all or substantially all of the business
or assets of the Borrower shall have been transferred or with or into which any
of them shall have been merged, consolidated, reorganized or absorbed; and (c)
in the case of a partnership or joint venture, any general or limited
partnership or joint venture which shall have been created by reason of, or
continued in existence after, the admission of any new partner, partners or
joint venturers therein or the dissolution of the existing partnership or joint
venture by the death, resignation or other withdrawal of any partner or joint
venturer.
9. Maximum Interest.
All agreements between the Borrower and Lender are hereby expressly limited
so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of deferment in
accordance with this Agreement or advancement of the loan proceeds, acceleration
of maturity of the Obligations, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to
be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be
loaned hereunder exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law. If, from
any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time
performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit
of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled
shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any circumstance
Lender should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest
lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to
the reduction of the principal of the Obligations and not to the payment of
interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements
between the Borrower and Lender.
10. Borrower's Representations and Warranties.
To induce the Lender to lend monies pursuant to the Note, the Borrower
represents and warrants to Lender that:

the Note and the Management Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder

obligations hereunder and thereunder do not and will not conflict with any
provision of the charter or by-laws of the Borrower;
(c) this Agreement, the Note and the Management Agreement when duly
executed and delivered, will be the legal, valid and binding obligation of
Borrower enforceable against it in accordance with its terms;
(d) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Note or the
Management Agreement nor the performance by Borrower of its obligations
hereunder and thereunder will result in the creation or imposition of any lien,
charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the property or
assets of the Borrower, except as contemplated or provided herein or therein,
and such execution, delivery and performance will not conflict with or result in
the breach or violation of or a default (with due notice or passing of time or
both) under the terms, conditions or provisions of (a) any indenture, evidence
of indebtedness, loan or financing agreement, or other agreement or instrument
of whatever nature to which the Borrower is a party or by which the Borrower is
bound; or (b) any provision of any existing law, rule, regulation, order, writ,
injunction or decree of any court or federal, state, county or municipal
governmental authority to which the Borrower is subject;
(e) Each representation and warranty contained in Sections 6.4, 6.5, 6.6
and 6.7 of the Management Agreement is true and correct.

announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Note or the

interpretation, or application of this Agreement or the Note which involves any
matter, either party may serve upon the other a written notice stating that such
party desires to have the controversy reviewed by an arbitrator. If the parties
cannot agree within fifteen (15) days from the service of such notice upon the
selection of such arbitrator, an arbitrator shall be selected or designated by
the American Arbitration Association upon written request of either party
hereto. Arbitration of such controversy, disagreement, or dispute shall be

parties. Each party shall pay its own costs incurred as a result of its
participation in any such arbitration.

other damages in excess of the prevailing party's actual damages, and may not
make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
