1. Amendments to Credit Agreement.
2
(a) The definition of "Consolidated Net Worth" appearing in
Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to read as follows:
"Consolidated Net Worth" means, as of any date, the sum of (i)
shareholders' equity or net worth of the Consolidated Parties on a

Consolidated Net Income for such period, have been deducted for (A)
provisions (not to exceed an aggregate amount of $30,000,000) recorded
as deductions from revenue relating to issues identified in cost
reports filed for cost reporting periods through December 31, 1998
(including the 1995 base year cost report upon which subsequent
prospective rates are determined) which are related to amounts (1) in
dispute between the Consolidated Parties and a Fiscal Intermediary, (2)
on appeal to the PRRB or (3) in the process of being appealed to the
PRRB and (B) provisions expensed during such period for estimated
future payments of general and professional liability litigation
claims, provided that such amounts do not exceed an aggregate amount of
(I) $55,000,000 during fiscal year 2000 and (II) an amount set forth in
the annual budget of the Consolidated Parties delivered pursuant to
Section 7.1(d) and approved by the Required Lenders for each fiscal
year thereafter, all as determined in accordance with GAAP; provided,
however, (x) Consolidated Net Worth shall not include revenues related
to any recoveries by the Consolidated Parties from Fiscal
Intermediaries of any amounts described in subclause (A) of clause (ii)
above and (y) to the extent not otherwise deducted from Consolidated
Net Worth, Consolidated Net Worth for any period shall be reduced by
cash payments made by the Consolidated Parties of general and
professional liability litigation claims during such period.
(b) Section 7.11(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(d) Consolidated Net Worth. At all times Consolidated Net
Worth shall be greater than or equal to the sum of $192,000,000,
increased on a cumulative basis (i) as of the end of each fiscal
quarter of the Consolidated Parties, commencing with the fiscal quarter
ending September 30, 1997 by an amount equal to 50% of Consolidated Net
Income (to the extent positive) for the fiscal quarter then ended and
(ii) as of the date that any Equity Issuance is consummated, by an
amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Equity Issuance.
For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.11(d),
Consolidated Net Income shall be calculated by adding back amounts
which, in the determination of Consolidated Net Income for such period,
have been deducted for (A) provisions (not to exceed an aggregate
amount of $30,000,000) recorded as deductions from revenue relating to
issues identified in cost reports filed for cost reporting periods
through December 31, 1998 (including the 1995 base year cost report
upon which subsequent prospective rates are determined) which are
related to amounts (1) in dispute between the Consolidated Parties and
a Fiscal Intermediary, (2) on appeal to the PRRB or (3) in the process
of being appealed to the PRRB and (B) provisions expensed during such
period for estimated future payments of general and professional
liability litigation claims, provided that such amounts do not exceed
an aggregate amount of (I) $55,000,000 during fiscal year 2000 and (II)
an amount set forth in the annual
2
3
budget of the Consolidated Parties delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(d)
and approved by the Required Lenders for each fiscal year thereafter,
all as determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, (x)
Consolidated Net Income shall not include revenues related to any
recoveries by the Consolidated Parties from Fiscal Intermediaries of
any amounts described in subclause (A) of clause (ii) above and (y) to
the extent not otherwise deducted from Consolidated Net Income,
Consolidated Net Income for any period shall be reduced by cash
payments made by the Consolidated Parties of general and professional
liability litigation claims during such period.
