Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent, and The CIT

America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, also entered into that certain Security
Agreement dated as of October 17, 2001 (as at any time amended, modified,
supplemented or restated, the "Existing Security Agreement").
Borrowers have requested that the Existing Credit Agreement and the
Existing Security Agreement be amended and restated to make available an amended
and restated credit facility in accordance with the terms and conditions
contained herein.
Each Borrower has requested that Lenders make available a revolving credit
and letter of credit facility to Borrowers, which shall be used by Borrowers to
finance their mutual and collective enterprise of the provision of diagnostic
imaging services through an integrated network of fixed-site centers and mobile
facilities. In order to utilize the financial powers of each Borrower in the
most efficient and economical manner, and in order to facilitate the financing
of each Borrower's needs, Lenders will, at the request of any Borrower, make
loans to all Borrowers under the revolving credit facility on a combined basis
and in accordance with the provisions hereinafter set forth. Borrowers' business
is a mutual and collective enterprise and Borrowers believe that the
consolidation of all revolving credit loans under this Agreement will enhance
the aggregate borrowing powers of each Borrower and ease the administration of
their revolving credit loan relationship with Lenders, all to the mutual
advantage of Borrowers. Lenders' willingness to extend credit to Borrowers and
to administer each Borrower's collateral security therefor, on a combined basis
as more fully set forth in this Agreement, is done solely as an accommodation to
Borrowers and at Borrowers' request in furtherance of Borrowers' mutual and
collective enterprise.
Each Borrower has agreed to be jointly and severally liable for loans and
all outstanding other obligations under this Agreement and to guarantee the
obligations of each of the other Borrowers under this Agreement and each of the
other Loan Documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants herein contained and to induce the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement and the Existing
Security Agreement and to extend credit to Borrowers hereunder, for Ten Dollars

SECTION 2. CREDIT FACILITY
Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the

set forth to make their respective shares of the Commitments available to
Borrowers in an aggregate amount up to $30,000,000, as set forth hereinbelow:
2.1. COMMITMENT.
2.1.1. Revolver Loans. Each Lender agrees, severally to the extent of
its Revolver Commitment and not jointly with the other Lenders, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to make Revolver Loans to
Borrowers on any Business Day during the period from the Restatement Effective
Date through the Business Day before the last day of the Term, not to exceed in
aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time such Lender's Revolver
Commitment at such time, which Revolver Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that
Lenders shall have no obligation to Borrowers whatsoever to honor any request
for a Revolver Loan on or after the Commitment Termination Date or if at the
time of the proposed funding thereof the aggregate principal amount of all of
the Revolver Loans then outstanding (including Swingline Loans) and Pending
Revolver Loans exceeds, or would exceed after the funding of such Revolver Loan,
the Borrowing Base. Each Borrowing of Revolver Loans shall be funded by Lenders
on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolver Commitments
(except for BofA with respect to Swingline Loans). The Revolver Loans shall bear
interest as set forth in SECTION 3.1. Each Revolver Loan shall, at the option of
Borrowers, be made or continued as, or converted into, part of one or more
Borrowings that, unless specifically provided herein, shall consist entirely of
Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans.
2.1.2. Out-of-Formula Loans. If the unpaid balance of Revolver Loans
outstanding at any time should exceed the Borrowing Base at such time (an
"Out-of-Formula Condition"), such Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute
Obligations that are secured by the Collateral and entitled to all of the
benefits of the Loan Documents. In the event that Lenders are willing in their
discretion to make Out-of-Formula Loans or are required to do so by SECTION
13.9.4, such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable within 2 Business Days of
demand and shall bear interest as provided in SECTION 3.1.5 or as otherwise
agreed among Administrative Agent, Borrowers and Lenders.
2.1.3. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolver Loans shall be
used by Borrowers solely for one or more of the following purposes: (i) to pay
any of the Obligations in accordance with this Agreement; and (ii) to make
expenditures for other lawful corporate purposes of Borrowers to the extent such
expenditures are not prohibited by this Agreement or Applicable Law. In no event
may any Revolver Loan proceeds be used by any Borrower (iii) to purchase or to
carry, or to reduce, retire or refinance any Debt incurred to purchase or carry,
any Margin Stock or for any related
-38-
purpose that violates the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of
Governors, or (iv) to fund any operations or finance any investments or
activities in, or to make payments to, a Blocked Person.
2.1.4. Revolver Notes. The Revolver Loans made by each Lender and
interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Administrative
Agent and such Lender and by the Revolver Note payable to such Lender (or the
assignee of such Lender), which shall be executed by Borrowers, completed in
conformity with this Agreement and delivered to such Lender. All outstanding
principal amounts and accrued interest under the Revolver Notes shall be due and
payable as set forth in SECTION 5.2.
2.1.5. Voluntary Reductions of Revolver Commitments. Borrowers shall
have the right to permanently reduce the amount of the Revolver Commitments, on
a Pro Rata basis for each Lender, at any time and from time to time upon written
notice to Administrative Agent of such reduction, which notice shall specify the
amount of such reduction, shall be irrevocable once given, shall be given at
least 5 Business Days prior to the requested reduction. Administrative Agent
shall promptly transmit such notice to each Lender. If on the effective date of
any such reduction in the Revolver Commitments and after giving effect thereto
an Out-of-Formula Condition exists, then the provisions of SECTION 5.2.1(III)
shall apply, except that such repayment shall be due immediately upon such
effective date without further notice to or demand upon Borrowers. If the
Commitments are reduced to zero, then such reduction shall be deemed a
termination of the Commitments by Borrowers pursuant to SECTION 6.2.2. The
Revolver Commitments, once reduced, may not be reinstated without the written
consent of all Lenders.
2.2. RESERVED.
2.3. LC FACILITY.
2.3.1. Issuance of Letters of Credit. Subject to all of the terms and
conditions hereof, Issuing Bank agrees to establish the LC Facility pursuant to
which, during the period from the date hereof to the last day of the Term,
Issuing Bank shall issue one or more Letters of Credit on Administrative Agent's
request therefor from time to time, subject to the following terms and
conditions:
(i) Each Borrower acknowledges that Issuing Bank's willingness to
issue any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon Issuing Bank's receipt of
(A) an LC Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit and
(B) such other instruments and agreements as Issuing Bank may customarily
require for the issuance of a letter of credit of equivalent type and
amount as the requested Letter of Credit. Issuing Bank shall have no
obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (x) Issuing Bank receives
an LC Request and LC Application at least 3 Business Days prior to the date
of issuance of a Letter of Credit, and (y) each of the LC Conditions is
satisfied on the date of Issuing Bank's receipt of the LC Request and at
the time of the requested issuance of a Letter of Credit.
(ii) Letters of Credit may be requested by a Borrower only if
they are to be used (a) to support obligations of such Borrower incurred in
the Ordinary Course of Business of such Borrower, on a standby basis, or
(b) for such other purposes as Administrative Agent and Lenders may approve
from time to time in writing.
(iii) Borrowers shall comply with all of the terms and conditions
imposed on Borrowers by Issuing Bank that are contained in any LC
Application or in any other agreement customarily or reasonably required by
Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit. If
Issuing Bank shall honor any request for payment under a Letter of Credit,
-39-
Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to Issuing Bank,
in Dollars on the same day as the date on which payment was made by Issuing
Bank (the "Reimbursement Date"), an amount equal to the amount paid by
Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit (or, if payment thereunder was
made by Issuing Bank in a currency other than Dollars, an amount equal to
the Dollar equivalent of such currency, as determined by Issuing Bank, as
of the time of Issuing Bank's payment under such Letter of Credit, in each
case), together with interest from and after the Reimbursement Date until
Full Payment is made by Borrowers at the Default Rate for Revolver Loans
constituting Base Rate Loans. Until Issuing Bank has received payment from
Borrowers in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause (iii),
Issuing Bank, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies under
this Agreement and any LC Application, shall be fully subrogated to the
rights and remedies of each beneficiary under such Letter of Credit whose
claims against Borrowers have been discharged with the proceeds of such
Letter of Credit. Whether or not a Borrower submits any Notice of Borrowing
to Administrative Agent, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested from
Lenders a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary to pay to
Issuing Bank all amounts due Issuing Bank on any Reimbursement Date and
each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or
not any Default or Event of Default has occurred or exists, the Commitments
have been terminated, the funding of the Borrowing would result in (or
increase the amount of) any Out-of-Formula Condition, or any of the
conditions set forth in Section 11 are not satisfied.
(iv) Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses
of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. The obligation of
Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank for any payment made by Issuing Bank
under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and
joint and several and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity
or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim,
setoff, defense or other right which Borrowers may have at any time against
a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges of Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of
Credit shall be in addition to, and cumulative with, all rights, remedies,
powers and privileges of Issuing Bank under any of the LC Documents.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to release Issuing Bank from any liability
or obligation that it may have in respect to any Letter of Credit arising
out of and directly resulting from its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
(v) No Letter of Credit shall be extended or amended in any
respect that is not solely ministerial, unless all of the LC Conditions are
met as though a new Letter of Credit were being requested and issued.
(vi) Unless otherwise provided in any of the LC Documents, each
LC Application and each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject to the
Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision),
International Chamber of Commerce No. 500, and any amendments or revisions
thereto.
-40-
2.3.2. Participations.
(i) Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit, each
Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased
and received from Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation equal to the Pro Rata share of such Lender (a
"Participating Lender") in all LC Obligations arising in connection with
such Letter of Credit, but in no event greater than an amount which, when
added to such Lender's Pro Rata share of all Revolver Loans and LC
Obligations then outstanding, exceeds such Lender's Revolver Commitment;
provided, however, that if Issuing Bank shall have received written notice
from a Lender on or before the Business Day immediately prior to the date
of Issuing Bank's issuance of a Letter of Credit that one or more of the
conditions set forth in Section 11 or Section 2.3.1 has not been satisfied,
Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue the requested Letter of
Credit or any other Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn in
writing by that Lender or until the Required Lenders shall have effectively
waived such condition in accordance with this Agreement. In no event shall
Issuing Bank be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any existence of any
Default or Event of Default or the failure of any conditions in Sections 11
or 2.3.1 to be satisfied prior to its receipt of such notice from a Lender.
(ii) If Issuing Bank makes any payment under a Letter of Credit
and Borrowers do not repay or cause to be repaid the amount of such payment
on the Reimbursement Date, Issuing Bank shall promptly notify
Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participating
Lender, of such payment and each Participating Lender shall promptly (and
in any event within 1 Business Day after its receipt of notice from
Administrative Agent) and unconditionally pay to Administrative Agent, for
the account of Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds, the amount of
such Participating Lender's Pro Rata share of such payment, and
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to Issuing Bank. If a
Participating Lender does not make its Pro Rata share of the amount of such
payment available to Administrative Agent on a timely basis as herein
provided, such Participating Lender agrees to pay to Administrative Agent
for the account of Issuing Bank, forthwith on demand, such amount together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate until paid. The failure of
any Participating Lender to make available to Administrative Agent for the
account of Issuing Bank such Participating Lender's Pro Rata share of the
LC Obligations shall not relieve any other Participating Lender of its
obligation hereunder to make available to Administrative Agent its Pro Rata
share of the LC Obligations. No Participating Lender shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Participating Lender to make available to
Administrative Agent its Pro Rata share of the LC Obligations on the date
such payment is to be made.
(iii) Whenever Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of the
LC Obligations, including any interest thereon, as to which Administrative
Agent has previously received payments from any Participating Lender for
the account of Issuing Bank, Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each
Participating Lender which has funded its participating interest therein,
in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Participating
Lender's Pro Rata share thereof.
(iv) The obligation of each Participating Lender to make payments
to Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank in connection with
Issuing Bank's payment under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff,
qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances and
irrespective of whether or not Borrowers may assert or have any claim for
any lack of validity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents; the existence of any Default or Event of Default;
-41-
any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit
having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in
any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect; the existence of any setoff or defense any Obligor may have with
respect to any of the Obligations; or the termination of the Commitments.
(v) Neither Issuing Bank nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be liable to any Participating Lender for any
action taken or omitted to be taken under or in connection with any of the
LC Documents except as a result of actual gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of Issuing Bank. Issuing Bank does not assume any
responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or breach by a
Borrower or any other Person of its obligations under any of the LC
Documents. Issuing Bank does not make to Participating Lenders any express
or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the
Collateral, the LC Documents, or any Obligor. Issuing Bank shall not be
responsible to any Participating Lender for any recitals, statements,
information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the
execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of or any
of the LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability,
collectibility, value or sufficiency of any of the Collateral or the
perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial
condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal
status of any Obligor or any Account Debtor. In connection with its
administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any of the LC
Documents, Issuing Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully
protected in acting upon, any certification, notice or other communication
in whatever form believed by Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Issuing
Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other
experts and to advise it concerning its rights, powers and privileges under
the LC Documents and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully
protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given
by such experts. Issuing Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in
connection with any matter relating to the LC Documents and shall not be
liable for the negligence, default or misconduct of any such agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by Issuing Bank with reasonable care. Issuing
Bank shall not have any liability to any Participating Lender by reason of
Issuing Bank's refraining to take any action under any of the LC Documents
without having first received written instructions from the Required
Lenders to take such action.
(vi) Upon the request of any Participating Lender, Issuing Bank
shall furnish to such Participating Lender copies (to the extent then
available to Issuing Bank) of each outstanding Letter of Credit and related
LC Documents as may be in the possession of Issuing Bank and reasonably
requested from time to time by such Participating Lender.
2.3.3. Cash Collateral Account. If any LC Obligations, whether or not
then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding (i) at any time that an
Event of Default exists, (ii) on any date that Availability is less than zero or
(iii) on or at any time after the Commitment Termination Date, then Borrowers
shall, on Issuing Bank's or Administrative Agent's request, forthwith pay to
Issuing Bank the amount of any LC Obligations that are then due and payable and
shall, upon the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (i) and
(iii) hereinabove, Cash Collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit or
deliver to Administrative Agent a Supporting LC in a face amount equal to 104%
of the aggregate Undrawn Amounts of such Letters of Credit. If notwithstanding
the occurrence of one or more of the events described in clauses (i) and (iii)
in the immediately preceding sentence Borrowers fail to Cash Collateralize, or
provide a Supporting LC as provided hereinabove with respect to, any outstanding
Letters of Credit on the first Business Day following Administrative Agent's or
Issuing Bank's demand therefor, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of
Administrative Agent) advance such amount as Revolver Loans (whether or not the
Commitment Termination Date has occurred or an Out-of-Formula Condition is
created thereby). Such cash (together with any interest accrued thereon) shall
be held by
-42-
Administrative Agent in the Cash Collateral Account and may be invested, in
Administrative Agent's discretion, in Cash Equivalents. Each Borrower hereby
pledges to Administrative Agent and grants to Administrative Agent a security
interest in, for the benefit of Administrative Agent in such capacity and for
the Pro Rata Benefit of Lenders, all Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral
Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment
of all Obligations (including LC Obligations), whether or not then due or
payable. From time to time after cash is deposited in the Cash Collateral
Account, Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral then held in the Cash
Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order as
Administrative Agent may elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by
Borrowers to Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to
the LC Obligations. Neither Borrowers nor any other Person claiming by, through
or under or on behalf of Borrowers shall have any right to withdraw any of the
Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account, including any accrued
interest, provided that upon termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit
and the payment and satisfaction of all of the LC Obligations, any Cash
Collateral remaining in the Cash Collateral Account (plus accrued interest
thereon, if any)shall be returned to Borrowers unless an Event of Default then
exists (in which event Administrative Agent may apply such Cash Collateral to
the payment of any other Obligations outstanding and, to the extent so applied,
such Cash Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of
SECTION 5.6, with any surplus to be turned over to Borrowers).
2.3.4. Indemnifications
(i) In addition to and without limiting any other indemnity which
Borrowers may have to any Indemnitees under any of the Loan Documents, each
Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and defend each of the Indemnitees and
to hold each of the Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all
Claims which any Indemnitee may suffer, incur or be subject to as a
consequence, directly or indirectly, of (a) the issuance of, payment or
failure to pay or any performance or failure to perform under any Letter of
Credit, (b) any suit, investigation or proceeding as to which
Administrative Agent or any Lender is or may become a party to as a
consequence, directly or indirectly, of the issuance of any Letter of
Credit or the payment or failure to pay thereunder or (c) Issuing Bank
following any instructions of a Borrower with respect to any Letter of
Credit or any Document received by Issuing Bank with reference to any
Letter of Credit. The foregoing indemnity obligations of Borrowers are
subject to the provisions of SECTION 15.3 hereof.
(ii) Each Participating Lender agrees to indemnify and defend
each of the Issuing Bank Indemnitees (to the extent the Issuing Bank
Indemnitees are not reimbursed by Borrowers or any other Obligor, but
without limiting the indemnification obligations of Borrowers under this
Agreement), to the extent of such Lender's Pro Rata share of the Revolver
Commitments, from and against any and all Claims which may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against any of the Issuing Bank Indemnitees in any
way related to or arising out of Issuing Bank's administration or
enforcement of rights or remedies under any of the LC Documents or any of
the transactions contemplated thereby (including costs and expenses which
Borrowers are obligated to pay under SECTION 15.2).
2.4. BANK PRODUCTS. Borrowers may request BofA to provide, or to arrange
for one or more of its Affiliates to provide, Bank Products, but BofA shall have
no obligation whatsoever to provide, or to arrange for the provision of, any
Bank Products. If Bank Products are provided by an Affiliate of BofA under any
of the Loan Documents, Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold Administrative
Agent, BofA and Lenders harmless from and against any and all Claims at any time
incurred by Administrative Agent, BofA or any Lenders that arise from any
indemnity given to such Affiliates that relate to such Bank Products. Borrowers
acknowledge that obtaining Bank Products from BofA or BofA's Affiliates
-43-
hereunder is in the discretion of BofA or BofA's Affiliates and is subject to
all rules and regulations of BofA or BofA's Affiliates that are applicable to
such Bank Products.
SECTION 3. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES
3.1. INTEREST.
3.1.1. Rates of Interest. Borrowers agree to pay interest in respect
of all unpaid principal amounts of the Revolver Loans from the respective dates
such principal amounts are advanced until paid (whether at stated maturity, on
acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate
indicated below:
(i) for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as Base Rate Loans,
the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate in effect from time to time; or
(ii) for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as LIBOR Loans, the
Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest
Period selected by Borrowers in conformity with this Agreement.
Upon determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period
requested by Borrowers, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers
thereof by telephone and, if so requested by Borrowers, confirm the same in
writing. Such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive
and binding on all parties and for all purposes. The applicable rate of interest
for all Loans (or portions thereof) bearing interest based upon the Base Rate
shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by an amount equal to any
increase or decrease in the Base Rate, with such adjustments to be effective as
of the opening of business on the day that any such change in the Base Rate
becomes effective. Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the
date on which such Loan is made, converted to a Loan of another Type or
continued as a LIBOR Loan to (but excluding) the date of any repayment thereof;
provided, however, that, if a Loan is repaid on the same day made, one day's
interest shall be paid on such Loan.
3.1.2. Conversions and Continuations.
(i) Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to the giving of a
proper Notice of Conversion/Continuation as hereinafter described, elect
(A) to continue all or any part of a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest
Period therefor, to commence on the last day of the immediately preceding
Interest Period, or (B) to convert all or any part of a Loan of one Type
into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, during the period that any
Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent may (and shall at the
direction of the Required Lenders) declare that no Loan may be made or
continued as or converted into a LIBOR Loan. Any conversion of a LIBOR Loan
into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on the last day of the Interest Period
for such LIBOR Loan. Any conversion or continuation made with respect to
less than the entire outstanding balance of the Loans must be allocated
among Lenders on a Pro Rata basis and the Interest Period for Loans
converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans shall be coterminous for each
Lender.
(ii) Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans under
SECTION 3.1.2(I), Borrower Agent shall give Administrative Agent written
notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) substantially
in the form of EXHIBIT C (a "Notice of Conversion/Continuation"), signed by
an authorized officer of Borrower Agent, at least 1 Business Day before the
requested conversion date, in the case of a conversion into Base Rate
-44-
Loans, and at least 3 Business Days before the requested conversion or
continuation date, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of
LIBOR Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation,
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of the proposed
conversion or continuation. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation
shall be irrevocable and shall specify the aggregate principal amount of
the Loans to be converted or continued, the date of such conversion or
continuation (which shall be a Business Day) and whether the Loans are
being converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans (and, if so, the duration
of the Interest Period to be applicable thereto and, in the absence of any
specification by Borrowers of the Interest Period, an Interest Period of
one month will be deemed to be specified) or Base Rate Loans. If, upon the
expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loans, Borrowers
shall have failed to deliver the Notice of Conversion/Continuation,
Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans to
Base Rate Loans.
3.1.3. Interest Periods. In connection with the making or continuation
of, or conversion into, each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall select an
interest period (each an "Interest Period") to be applicable to such LIBOR Loan,
which interest period shall commence on the date such LIBOR Loan is made and
shall end on a numerically corresponding day in the first, second, third or
sixth month thereafter; provided, however, that:
(i) the initial Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan shall commence
on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a
Loan of another Type) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in
respect of such Revolver Loan shall commence on the date on which the next
preceding Interest Period expires;
(ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that
is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next
succeeding Business Day, provided that, if any Interest Period in respect
of LIBOR Loans would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day
but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in
such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding
Business Day;
(iii) any Interest Period that begins on a day for which there is
no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such
Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such calendar
month; and
(iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the last day of the
Term.
3.1.4. Interest Rate Not Ascertainable. If Administrative Agent shall
determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final,
conclusive and binding upon all parties) that on any date for determining the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period, by reason of any changes arising
after the date of this Agreement affecting the London interbank market or any
Lender's position in such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for
ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the
definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate, then, and in any such event, Administrative
Agent shall forthwith give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing)
to Borrowers of such determination. Until Administrative Agent notifies
Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described herein
no longer exist (which Administrative Agent agrees to do promptly after such
circumstance no longer exists, the obligation of Lenders to make LIBOR Loans
shall be suspended, and such affected Loans then outstanding shall, at the end
of the then applicable Interest Period or at such earlier time as may be
required by Applicable Law, bear the same interest as Base Rate Loans.
3.1.5. Default Rate of Interest. Borrowers shall pay interest at a
rate per annum equal to the Default Rate (i) with respect to any portion of the
principal amount of the Obligations (and, to the
-45-
extent permitted by Applicable Law, all past due interest) that is not paid on
the due date thereof (whether due at stated maturity, on demand, upon
acceleration or otherwise) until Full Payment thereof; (ii) with respect to the
principal amount of all of the Obligations (and, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, all past due interest) upon the earlier to occur of (x) Borrower
Agent's receipt of notice from Administrative Agent of the Required Lenders'
election to charge the Default Rate based upon the existence of any Event of
Default under SECTION 10.3 (which notice Administrative Agent shall send only
with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders), whether or not
acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations has been made, or (y) the
commencement by or against any Borrower of an Insolvency Proceeding whether or
not under the circumstances described in clauses (i) or (ii) hereof Lenders
elect to accelerate the maturity or demand payment of any of the Obligations;
and (iii) with respect to the principal amount of any Out-of-Formula Loans
(unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Required Lenders), whether or not
demand for payment thereof has been made by Administrative Agent. To the fullest
extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Default Rate shall apply and accrue on
any judgment entered with respect to any of the Obligations and to the unpaid
principal amount of the Obligations during any Insolvency Proceeding of a
Borrower. Each Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Administrative
Agent and each Lender attendant upon the occurrence of an Event of Default are
difficult to ascertain or estimate and that the Default Rate is a fair and
reasonable estimate to compensate Administrative Agent and Lenders for such
added cost and expense. Interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and
payable ON DEMAND.
3.2. FEES. In consideration of Lenders' establishment of the Commitments in
favor of Borrowers, and Administrative Agent's agreement to serve as collateral
and administrative agent hereunder, Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay
the following fees:
3.2.1. Closing Fee. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated
to pay to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata Benefit of the Initial Lender,
a closing fee in the amount set forth in the Fee Letter, which shall be paid on
the Restatement Effective Date.
3.2.2. Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally
obligated to pay to Administrative Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders a
fee (the "Unused Line Fee") equal to the Applicable Margin for the Unused Line
Fee divided by 360 days and multiplied by the number of days in the Fiscal
Quarter and then multiplied by the amount by which the Average Revolver Loan
Balance for any Fiscal Quarter (or portion thereof that the Commitments are in
effect) is less than the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments, such fee
to be paid quarterly, in arrears, on the first day of each Fiscal Quarter; but
if the Commitments are terminated on a day other than the first day of a Fiscal
Quarter, then any such Unused Line Fee payable for the Fiscal Quarter in which
termination shall occur shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
3.2.3. LC Facility Fees. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally
obligated to pay: (a)(i) to Administrative Agent for the Pro Rata account of
each Lender for all Letters of Credit, the Applicable Margin in effect for
Revolver Loans that are LIBOR Loans on a per annum basis based on the average
amount available to be drawn under Letters of Credit outstanding and all Letters
of Credit that are paid or expire during the period of measurement, payable
monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of the following month; (ii) to
Issuing Bank for its own account a Letter of Credit fronting fee of .125% per
annum based upon the face amount of each Letter of Credit issued during the
period of measurement, payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of
the following month; and (iii) to Issuing Bank for its own account all customary
charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing
and administration of all Letters of Credit. All Letter of Credit fees that are
expressed as a percentage shall be increased to a percentage that is 2% greater
than the percentage that would otherwise be applicable to Revolver Loans when
the Default Rate is in effect.
-46-
3.2.4. Audit and Appraisal Fees and Expenses. Borrowers shall
reimburse Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with examinations and
reviews of any Obligor's books and records up to 2 times per Loan Year unless an
Event of Default exists (in which event, there shall be no limit on the number
of examinations and reviews for which Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse
Administrative Agent) and, in each case, shall pay to Administrative Agent the
standard amount charged by Administrative Agent per day ($850 per day as of the
Restatement Effective Date) for each day that an employee or agent of
Administrative Agent shall be engaged in an examination or review of any
Obligor's books and records. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit
Administrative Agent's right to conduct audits as provided in SECTION 10.1.1.
3.2.5. Agency Fee. In consideration of BofA's service as
Administrative Agent hereunder, Borrowers shall be jointly and severally
obligated to pay to Administrative Agent, an agency fee in the amount set forth
in the Fee Letter, which shall be paid on the Restatement Effective Date and
thereafter on each anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date.
3.2.6. General Provisions. All fees shall be fully earned by the
identified recipient thereof pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Agreement on the due date thereof (and, in the case of Letters of Credit, upon
each issuance, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit) and, except as
otherwise set forth herein or required by Applicable Law, shall not be subject
to rebate, refund or proration. All fees provided for in SECTION 3.2 are and
shall be deemed to be compensation for services and are not, and shall not be
deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention
of money.
3.3. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES. All fees and other charges provided
for in this Agreement that are calculated as a per annum percentage of any
amount and all interest shall be calculated daily and shall be computed on the
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. For purposes of computing
interest and other charges hereunder, each Payment Item and other form of
payment received by Administrative Agent (with the date of such receipt to be
governed by SECTION 5.7) shall be deemed applied by Administrative Agent and
Lenders on account of the Obligations (subject to final payment of such items)
on the Business Day on which Administrative Agent receives collected funds in
the Payment Account, and Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have received
such Payment Item on the date specified in SECTION 5.7. Each determination by
Administrative Agent of interest and fees hereunder shall be presumptive
evidence of the correctness of such interest and fees.
3.4. REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS.
3.4.1. Borrowers shall reimburse Administrative Agent and Lenders for
any Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender, on
the sooner to occur of Administrative Agent's demand therefor or Administrative
Agent's receipt of any proceeds of Collateral in connection with any Enforcement
Action (subject to the provisions of SECTION 5.6 with respect to the application
of any proceeds of Collateral). Borrowers shall also reimburse Administrative
Agent for all legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting and other fees and
expenses suffered or incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with: (i)
the negotiation and preparation (and internal legal review) of any of the Loan
Documents, any amendment or modification thereto; (ii) the administration of the
Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby; (iii) action taken to
perfect or maintain the perfection or priority of any of Administrative Agent's
Liens with respect to any of the Collateral; (iv) any inspection of or audits
conducted by Administrative Agent with respect to any Obligor's books and
records in accordance with SECTION 3.2.4; (v) any effort by Administrative Agent
to verify or appraise any of the Collateral. All amounts chargeable to or
reimbursable by Borrowers under this SECTION 3.4 shall constitute Obligations
that are secured by all of the Collateral and shall be payable ON DEMAND to
Administrative Agent. Borrowers shall also reimburse
-47-
Administrative Agent for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
Administrative Agent in its administration of any of the Collateral to the
extent and in the manner provided in SECTION 8 or in any of the other Loan
Documents. The foregoing shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to
limit, any other provision of any of the Loan Documents regarding the
indemnification or reimbursement by Borrowers of Claims suffered or incurred by
Administrative Agent or any Lender.
3.4.2. If at any time Lender shall agree to indemnify any Person
against losses or damages that such Person may suffer or incur in its dealings
or transactions with Borrowers, or shall guarantee or otherwise assure payment
of any liability or obligation of Borrowers to such Person, or otherwise shall
provide assurances of Borrowers' payment or performance under any agreement with
such Person, including indemnities, guaranties or other assurances of payment or
performance given by Lender with respect to Banking Relationship Debt, then the
Contingent Obligation of Lender providing any such indemnity, guaranty or other
assurance of payment or performance, together with any payment made or liability
incurred by Lender in connection therewith, shall constitute Obligations that
are secured by the Collateral and Borrowers shall repay, on demand, any amount
so paid or any liability incurred by Lender in connection with any such
indemnity, guaranty, or assurance. Nothing herein shall be construed to impose
upon Lender any obligation to provide any such indemnity, guaranty or assurance.
The foregoing agreement of Borrowers shall apply whether or not such indemnity,
guaranty or assurance is in writing or oral, provided that Administrative Agent
provides Borrower's with notice of the existence thereof, shall survive
termination of the Commitment and Full Payment of the Obligations and any other
provisions of the Loan Documents regarding reimbursement or indemnification by
Borrowers of Claims suffered or incurred by Lender.
3.5. BANK CHARGES. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, ON DEMAND,
any and all fees, costs or expenses which Administrative Agent pays to a bank or
other similar institution (including any fees paid by Administrative Agent or
any Lender to any Participant) arising out of or in connection with (i) the
forwarding to a Borrower or any other Person on behalf of Borrower by
Administrative Agent of proceeds of Loans made by Lenders to a Borrower pursuant
to this Agreement and (ii) the depositing for collection by Administrative Agent
of any Payment Item received or delivered to Administrative Agent on account of
the Obligations. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent
may charge such costs, fees and expenses to Borrowers based upon Administrative
Agent's good faith estimate of such costs, fees and expenses as they are
incurred by Administrative Agent.
3.6. ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
elsewhere in this Agreement, if (i) any change after the date hereof in any law
or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority
charged with the administration thereof shall make it unlawful for a Lender to
make or maintain a LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as
contemplated hereby with respect to a LIBOR Loan or (ii) at any time such Lender
determines that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become
impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof which
adversely affects the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in
such market, then such Lender shall give after such determination Administrative
Agent and Borrowers notice thereof and may thereafter (1) declare that LIBOR
Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender, whereupon any request by a
Borrower for a LIBOR Loan from such Lender shall be deemed a request for a Base
Rate Loan unless such Lender's declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn
(which declaration shall be withdrawn promptly after the cessation of the
circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above); and (2) require that all
outstanding LIBOR Loans made by such Lender be converted to Base Rate Loans,
under the circumstances of clause (i) or (ii) of this SECTION 3.6 insofar as
such Lender determines the continuance of LIBOR Loans to be impracticable, in
which event all such LIBOR Loans of such Lender shall be converted automatically
to Base Rate Loans as of the date of any Borrower's receipt of the aforesaid
notice from such Lender.
-48-
3.7. INCREASED COSTS. If, by reason of (a) the introduction after the date
hereof or any change after the date hereof (including any change by way of
imposition or increase of Statutory Reserves or other reserve requirements) in
or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, or (b) the compliance after
the date hereof with any guideline or request from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority or quasi-Governmental Authority exercising control over
banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of
law):
(i) any Lender shall be subject after the date hereof to any Tax,
duty or other charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan or Letter of Credit or
its obligation to make LIBOR Loans or to issue Letters of Credit or to
participate in the LC Obligations arising from the issuance of Letters of
Credit, or a change shall result in the basis of taxation of payment to
Lender of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR Loans or its obligation
to make LIBOR Loan, issue Letters of Credit or participate in the LC
Obligations arising from the issuance of Letters of Credit (except for
Excluded Taxes); or
(ii) any reserve (including any imposed by the Board of
Governors), special deposits or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender
shall be imposed or deemed applicable or any other condition affecting its
LIBOR Loans or Letters of Credit or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans or
to issue Letters of Credit or participate in the LC Obligations arising
form the issuance of Letters of Credit shall be imposed on such Lender or
the London interbank market;
and as a result thereof there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender
of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Loans or issuing
Letters of Credit (except to the extent already included in the determination of
the applicable Adjusted LIBOR Rate for LIBOR Loans), or there shall be a
reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender, then such Lender
shall, promptly after determining the existence or amount of any such increased
costs for which such Lender seeks payment hereunder, give any Borrower notice
thereof and Borrowers shall from time to time, upon written notice from and
demand by such Lender (with a copy of such notice and demand to Administrative
Agent), pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, within 5
Business Days after the date specified in such notice and demand, an additional
amount sufficient to indemnify such Lender against such increased costs. A
certificate as to the amount of such increased costs (and setting forth the
calculation thereof in reasonable detail), submitted to Borrowers by such
Lender, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error.
If any Lender shall advise Administrative Agent at any time that, because
of the circumstances described hereinabove in this SECTION 3.7 or any other
circumstances arising after the date of this Agreement affecting such Lender or
the London interbank market or such Lender's position in such market, the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as determined by Administrative Agent, will not adequately
and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding LIBOR Loans or issuing
Letters of Credit, then, and in any such event:
(i) Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice (by
telephone confirmed promptly in writing) to Borrowers and Lenders of such
event;
(ii) Borrowers' right to request and such Lender's obligation to
make LIBOR Loans or to issue Letters of Credit or participate in the LC
Obligations arising from the issuance of Letters of Credit shall be
immediately suspended and Borrowers' right to continue a LIBOR Loan as such
beyond the then applicable Interest Period or to request a Letter of Credit
shall also be suspended, until each condition giving rise to such
suspension no longer exists; and
-49-
(iii) such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of the
requested Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, which Base Rate Loan shall, for all
purposes, be considered part of such Borrowing.
For purposes of this SECTION 3.7, all references to a Lender shall be
deemed to include any bank holding company or bank parent of such Lender. If any
Lender provides notice that, due to the circumstances described in this SECTION
3.7, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
such Lender of funding LIBOR Loans or participating in the LC Obligations
arising from the issuance of Letters of Credit, then such Lender may be replaced
pursuant to the provisions of SECTION 13.17.
3.8. CAPITAL ADEQUACY. If any Lender determines that (i) the introduction
after the date hereof of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change after
the date hereof in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the
interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any
central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or (iv) compliance after the date hereof by such Lender
or any corporation or other entity controlling such Lender with any Capital
Adequacy Regulation, affects the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender and (taking into
consideration such Lender's or such corporation's or other entity's policies
with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's desired return on capital)
determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its
Commitments, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then: (a)
Administrative Agent shall promptly, after its receipt of a certificate from
such Lender setting forth such Lender's determination of such occurrence, give
notice thereof to Borrowers and Lenders; and (b) Borrowers shall pay to
Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender, as an additional fee from
time to time, ON DEMAND, such amount as such Lender certifies to be the amount
reasonably calculated to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A
certificate of such Lender claiming entitlement to compensation as set forth
above will be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Such certificate will
set forth the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such compensation, the
additional amount or amounts to be paid to such Lender (including the basis for
Lender's determination of such amount), and the method by which such amounts
were determined. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution method. For purposes of this SECTION 3.8 all
references to a Lender shall be deemed to include any bank holding company or
bank parent of such Lender.
3.9. MITIGATION. Each Lender agrees that, with reasonable promptness after
such Lender becomes aware that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under
SECTIONS 3.6, 3.7 OR 3.8, or is or has become subject to U.S. withholding taxes
payable by any Borrower in respect of its Loans, it will, to the extent not
inconsistent with any internal policy of such Lender or any applicable legal or
regulatory restriction, (i) use all reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain
the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans of such Lender through another
lending office of such Lender or (ii) take such other reasonable measures, if,
as a result thereof, the circumstances which would relieve Borrowers from their
obligations to pay such additional amounts (or reduce the amount of such
payments), or such withholding taxes would be reduced, and if the making,
funding or maintaining of such Commitment or Loans through such other lending
office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not
otherwise adversely affect such Commitment or Loans or the interests of such
Lender.
3.10. FUNDING LOSSES. If for any reason (other than due to a default by
Lender or as a result of a Lender's refusal to honor a LIBOR Loan request due to
circumstances described in this Agreement) a Borrowing of, or conversion to or
continuation of, LIBOR Loans does not occur on the date specified therefor in a
Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not
withdrawn), or if any repayment (including any conversions pursuant to SECTION
3.1.2) of any of its LIBOR Loans occurs
-50-
on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or
if for any reason Borrowers default in their obligation to repay LIBOR Loans
when required by the terms of this Agreement, then Borrowers shall be jointly
and severally obligated to pay to Administrative Agent an administrative fee of
$150 and to each Lender an amount equal to all losses and expenses (other than
loss of profit) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence thereof,
including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment
of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Loans or from fees payable to
terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrowers shall pay
all such amounts due to any Lender upon presentation by such Lender of a
statement setting forth the amount and such Lender's calculation thereof, which
statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error. For purposes
of this SECTION 3.10, all references to a Lender shall be deemed to include any
bank holding company or bank parent of such Lender.
3.11. MAXIMUM INTEREST. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the
Loan Documents, in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all
amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by Administrative Agent and
Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents and that are deemed interest under Applicable Law exceed the highest
rate permissible under any Applicable Law. No agreements, conditions, provisions
or stipulations contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
or the exercise by Administrative Agent of the right to accelerate the payment
or the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or the exercise of any
option whatsoever contained in any of the Loan Documents, or the prepayment by
Borrowers of any of the Obligations, or the occurrence of any contingency
whatsoever, shall entitle Administrative Agent or any Lender to charge or
receive in any event, interest or any charges, amounts, premiums or fees deemed
interest by Applicable Law (such interest, charges, amounts, premiums and fees
referred to herein collectively as "Interest") in excess of the Maximum Rate,
and in no event shall Borrowers be obligated to pay Interest exceeding such
Maximum Rate, and all agreements, conditions or stipulations, if any, which may
in any event or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel
Borrowers to pay Interest exceeding the Maximum Rate shall be without binding
force or effect, at law or in equity, to the extent only of the excess of
Interest over such Maximum Rate. If any Interest is charged or received with
respect to the Obligations in excess of the Maximum Rate ("Excess"), Borrowers
stipulate that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and
bona fide error, and such Excess, to the extent received, shall be applied first
to reduce the principal of such Obligations and the balance, if any, returned to
Borrowers, it being the intent of the parties hereto not to enter into a
usurious or otherwise illegal relationship. Each Borrower recognizes that, with
fluctuations in the rates of interest set forth in SECTION 3.1.1, and the
Maximum Rate, such an unintentional result could inadvertently occur. All monies
paid to Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any of the other
Loan Documents, whether at maturity or by prepayment, shall be subject to any
rebate of unearned Interest as and to the extent required by Applicable Law. By
the execution of this Agreement, each Borrower covenants that (i) the credit or
return of any Excess shall constitute the acceptance by such Borrower of such
Excess, and (ii) such Borrower shall not seek or pursue any other remedy, legal
or equitable, against Administrative Agent or any Lender, based in whole or in
part upon contracting for, charging or receiving any Interest in excess of the
Maximum Rate. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been
contracted for, charged or received by Administrative Agent or any Lender, all
Interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Borrowers in
connection with any of the Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts
throughout the full term of the Obligations. Borrowers, Administrative Agent and
Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, (i)
characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than
as Interest and (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof. The
provisions of this SECTION 3.11 shall be deemed to be incorporated into every
Loan Document (whether or not any provision of this Section is referred to
therein). All such Loan Documents and communications relating to any Interest
owed by Borrowers and all figures set forth therein shall, for the sole purpose
of computing the extent of
-51-
Obligations, be automatically recomputed by Borrowers, and by any court
considering the same, to give effect to the adjustments or credits required by
this SECTION 3.11.
SECTION 4. LOAN ADMINISTRATION
4.1. MANNER OF BORROWING AND FUNDING REVOLVER LOANS. Borrowings under the
Commitments established pursuant TO SECTION 2.1 shall be made and funded as
follows:
4.1.1. Notice of Borrowing.
(i) Whenever Borrowers desire to make a Borrowing under SECTION
2.1 (other than a Borrowing resulting from a conversion or continuation
pursuant to SECTION 3.1.2), Borrowers shall give Administrative Agent prior
written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of such
Borrowing request (a "Notice of Borrowing"), which shall be in the form of
EXHIBIT D annexed hereto and signed by an authorized officer of Borrower
Agent. Such Notice of Borrowing shall be given by Borrower Agent no later
than 2:00 p.m. at the office designated by Administrative Agent from time
to time (a) on the Business Day of the requested funding date of such
Borrowing, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (b) at least 2 Business Days
prior to the requested funding date of such Borrowing, in the case of LIBOR
Loans. Notices received after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the
next Business Day. Any Revolver Loans made by each Lender on the
Restatement Effective Date shall be made as Base Rate Loans and thereafter
may be made or continued as or converted into Base Rate Loans or LIBOR
Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice thereof) shall be
irrevocable and shall specify (a) the principal amount of the Borrowing,
(b) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (c) whether the
Borrowing is to consist of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, (d) in the case
of LIBOR Loans, the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable
thereto, and (e) the account of Borrowers to which the proceeds of such
Borrowing are to be disbursed.
(ii) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the
becoming due of any amount required to be paid with respect to any of the
Obligations (whether as principal, accrued interest, fees or other charges,
including Extraordinary Expenses and LC Obligations, and any amounts owed
to BofA or any Affiliate of BofA for Banking Relationship Debt) shall be
deemed irrevocably to be a request (without any requirement for the
submission of a Notice of Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the due date of,
and in an aggregate amount required to pay, such Obligations, and the
proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed by way of direct payment
of the relevant Obligation and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans.
(iii) If Borrowers elect to establish a Controlled Disbursement
Account with BofA or any Affiliate of BofA, then the presentation for
payment by BofA of any check or other item of payment drawn on the
Controlled Disbursement Account at a time when there are insufficient funds
in such account to cover such check shall be deemed irrevocably to be a
request (without any requirement for the submission of a Notice of
Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the date of such presentation and in an
amount equal to the aggregate amount of the items presented for payment,
and the proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed to the Controlled
Disbursement Account and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans.
(iv) Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any
obligation to honor any deemed request for a Revolver Loan on or after the
Commitment Termination Date or when an Out-of-Formula Condition exists or
would result therefrom or when any condition precedent in SECTION 11 is not
satisfied, but may do so in the discretion of Administrative Agent (or at
the direction of the Required Lenders) and without regard to the existence
of, and without
-52-
being deemed to have waived, any Default or Event of Default and regardless
of whether such Revolver Loan is funded after the Commitment Termination
Date.
4.1.2. Fundings by Lenders. Subject to its receipt of notice from
Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing as provided in SECTION 4.1.1(I)
(except in the case of a deemed request by Borrower Agent for a Revolver Loan as
provided in SECTION 4.1.1(II) or (III) or SECTION 4.1.3(II), in which event no
Notice of Borrowing need be submitted), each Lender shall timely honor its
Revolver Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Revolver
Loans that is properly requested and that Borrowers are entitled to receive
under the Loan Agreement. Administrative Agent shall endeavor to notify Lenders
of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing pursuant to
SECTION 4.1.1(II) or (III)), by 2:00 p.m. on the proposed funding date (in the
case of Base Rate Loans) or by 2:00 p.m. at least 2 Business Days before the
proposed funding date (in the case of LIBOR Loans). Each Lender shall deposit
with Administrative Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the Borrowing
requested or deemed requested by Borrowers at Administrative Agent's designated
bank in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of
funding of such Borrowing, unless Administrative Agent's notice to Lenders is
received after 2:00 p.m. on the proposed funding date of a Base Rate Loan, in
which event Lenders shall deposit with Administrative Agent their respective Pro
Rata shares of the requested Borrowing on or before 11:00 a.m. of the next
Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from Lenders,
Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the Revolver Loans received by
it available to Borrowers by disbursing such proceeds in accordance with
Borrower Agent's disbursement instructions set forth in the applicable Notice of
Borrowing. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability
on account of any delay by any bank or other depository institution in treating
the proceeds of any Revolver Loan as collected funds or any delay in receipt, or
any loss, of funds that constitute a Revolver Loan, the wire transfer of which
was initiated by Administrative Agent in accordance with wiring instructions
provided to Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been
notified in writing by a Lender prior to the proposed time of funding that such
Lender does not intend to deposit with Administrative Agent an amount equal to
such Lender's Pro Rata share of the requested Borrowing (or deemed request for a
Borrowing pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of SECTION 4.1.1), Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its
share with Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent may in its discretion
disburse a corresponding amount to Borrowers on the applicable funding date. If
a Lender's Pro Rata share of such Borrowing is not in fact deposited with
Administrative Agent, then, if Administrative Agent has disbursed to Borrowers
an amount corresponding to such share, then such Lender agrees to pay, and in
addition Borrowers agree to repay, to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the
date such amount is disbursed by Administrative Agent to or for the benefit of
Borrowers until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Administrative Agent,
(a) in the case of Borrowers, at the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing
and (b) in the case of such Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender
repays to Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid
shall constitute a Revolver Loan, and if both such Lender and Borrowers shall
have repaid such corresponding amount, Administrative Agent shall promptly
return to Borrowers such corresponding amount in same day funds. A notice from
Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under
this SECTION 4.1.2 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
4.1.3. Settlement and Swingline Loans.
(i) In order to facilitate the administration of the Revolver
Loans under this Agreement, Lenders and Administrative Agent agree (which
agreement shall be solely between Lenders and Administrative Agent and
shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower) that
settlement among them with respect to the Revolver Loans may take place on
a periodic basis on dates determined from time to time by Administrative
Agent (each a
-53-
"Settlement Date"), which may occur before or after the occurrence or
during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default and whether or not
all of the conditions set forth in SECTION 11 have been met. On each
Settlement Date, payment shall be made by or to each Lender in the manner
provided herein and in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by
Administrative Agent to Lenders with respect to such Settlement Date so
that, as of each Settlement Date and after giving effect to the transaction
to take place on such Settlement Date, each Lender shall hold its Pro Rata
share of all Revolver Loans and participations in LC Obligations.
Administrative Agent shall request settlement with the Lenders on a basis
not less frequently than once every 5 Business Days.
(ii) Between Settlement Dates, Administrative Agent may request
BofA to advance, and BofA may, but shall in no event be obligated to,
advance to Borrowers out of BofA's own funds the entire principal amount of
any Borrowing of Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans requested or
deemed requested pursuant to this Agreement (any such Revolver Loan funded
exclusively by BofA being referred to as a "Swingline Loan"). Each
Swingline Loan shall constitute a Revolver Loan hereunder and shall be
subject to all of the terms, conditions and security applicable to other
Revolver Loans, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to BofA
solely for its own account. The obligation of Borrowers to repay such
Swingline Loans to BofA shall be evidenced by the records of BofA and need
not be evidenced by any promissory note. Unless a funding is required by
all Lenders pursuant to SECTION 13.9.4, Administrative Agent may but shall
not be required to request BofA to make any Swingline Loan if (A)
Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from any Lender
that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
SECTION 11 will not be satisfied on the requested funding date for the
applicable Borrowing and Administrative Agent has made a determination
(without any liability to any Person) that such condition precedent will
not be satisfied, (B) the requested Borrowing would exceed the amount of
Availability on the funding date or (C) the aggregate amount of Swingline
Loans outstanding exceeds (or with the funding of the requested Swingline
Loan, would exceed) $5,000,000. BofA shall not be required to determine
whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 11 have
been satisfied or the requested Borrowing would exceed the amount of
Availability on the funding date applicable thereto prior to making, in its
discretion, any Swingline Loan. On each Settlement Date, or, if earlier, on
demand by Administrative Agent for payment thereof, the then outstanding
Swingline Loans shall be immediately due and payable. As provided in
SECTION 4.1.1(II), Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested (without the
necessity of submitting any Notice of Borrowing) Revolver Loans to be made
on each Settlement Date in the amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans
and to have Administrative Agent cause the proceeds of such Revolver Loans
to be applied to the repayment of such Swingline Loans and interest accrued
thereon. Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the outstanding
balance of Revolver Loans prior to 11:00 a.m. on each Settlement Date and
each Lender (other than BofA) shall deposit with Administrative Agent an
amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the amount of Revolver Loans deemed
requested in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on such
Settlement Date. Each Lender's obligation to make such deposit with
Administrative Agent shall be absolute and unconditional, without defense,
offset, counterclaim or other defense, and without regard to whether any of
the conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 11 are satisfied, any
Out-of-Formula Condition exists or the Commitment Termination Date has
occurred. If, as the result of the commencement by or against Borrowers of
any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, any Swingline Loan may not be
repaid by the funding by Lenders of Revolver Loans, then each Lender (other
than BofA) shall be deemed to have purchased a participating interest in
any unpaid Swingline Loan in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata
share of such Swingline Loan and shall transfer to BofA, in immediately
available funds not later than the second Business Day after BofA's request
therefor, the amount of such Lender's participation. The proceeds of
Swingline Loans may be used solely
-54-
for purposes for which Revolver Loans generally may be used in accordance
with SECTION 2.1.3. If any amounts received by BofA in respect of any
Swingline Loans are later required to be returned or repaid by BofA to
Borrowers or any other Obligor or their respective representatives or
successors-in-interest, whether by court order, settlement or otherwise,
the other Lenders shall, on demand by BofA with notice to Administrative
Agent, pay to Administrative Agent for the account of BofA, an amount equal
to each other Lender's Pro Rata share of all such amounts required to be
returned or repaid.
4.1.4. Disbursement Authorization. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Revolver Loan
requested by any Borrower, or deemed to be requested pursuant to SECTION 4.1.1
or SECTION 4.1.3(II) as follows: (i) the proceeds of each Revolver Loan
requested under SECTION 4.1.1(I) shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent in
accordance with the terms of the written disbursement letter from Borrowers in
the case of the initial Borrowing, and, in the case of each subsequent
Borrowing, by transfer to such bank account of Borrowers as may be directed by
Borrowers from time to time or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from
any Borrower; and (ii) the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested under
SECTION 4.1.1(II) or SECTION 4.1.3(II) shall be disbursed by Administrative
Agent by way of direct payment of the relevant interest or other Obligation. Any
Loan proceeds received by any Borrower or in payment of any of the Obligations
shall be deemed to have been received by all Borrowers.
4.1.5. Telephonic Notices. Each Borrower authorizes Administrative
Agent and Lenders to extend, convert or continue Loans, effect selections of
Types of Loans and transfer funds to or on behalf of Borrowers based on
telephonic notices or instructions from any individual whom Administrative Agent
or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of any Borrower. If
requested by Administrative Agent, Borrowers shall confirm each such telephonic
request for a Borrowing or conversion or continuation of Loans by prompt
delivery to Administrative Agent of the required Notice of Borrowing or Notice
of Conversion/Continuation, as applicable, duly executed by an authorized
officer of Borrower Agent. If the written confirmation differs in any material
respect from the action taken by Administrative Agent or Lenders, the records of
Administrative Agent and Lenders shall govern. Neither Administrative Agent nor
any Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by any Borrower as a
result of Administrative Agent's or any Lender's acting upon its understanding
of telephonic instructions or requests from a person believed in good faith by
Administrative Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized by a Borrower to
give such instructions or to make such requests on Borrowers' behalf.
4.2. DEFAULTING LENDER. If any Lender shall, at any time, fail to make any
payment to Administrative Agent or BofA that is required hereunder,
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, retain payments that
would otherwise be made to such defaulting Lender hereunder and apply such
payments to such defaulting Lender's defaulted obligations hereunder, at such
time, and in such order, as Administrative Agent may elect in its discretion.
With respect to the payment of any funds from Administrative Agent to a Lender
or from a Lender to Administrative Agent, the party failing to make the full
payment when due pursuant to the terms hereof shall, on demand by the other
party, pay such amount together with interest on such amount at the Federal
Funds Rate. The failure of any Lender to fund its portion of any Loan or payment
in respect of an LC Obligation shall not relieve any other Lender of its
obligation, if any, to fund its portion of the Revolver Loan or payment in
respect of an LC Obligation on the date of Borrowing, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan or payment in
respect of an LC Obligation. Solely as among the Lenders and solely for purposes
of (i) voting upon or consenting to amendments, waivers, actions or inactions
under any of the Loan Documents, or with respect to the Collateral or any
Obligations, and (ii) determining a defaulting Lender's share of payments and
proceeds of Collateral pending such defaulting Lender's cure of its defaults
hereunder, a defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a "Lender" and such
Lender's Commitment shall
-55-
be deemed to be zero (0). The provisions of this Section 4.2 shall be solely for
the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and may not be enforced by
Borrowers.
4.3. SPECIAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING LIBOR LOANS.
4.3.1. Number of LIBOR Loans. In no event may the number of LIBOR
Loans outstanding at any time to any Lender exceed 4.
4.3.2. Minimum Amounts. Each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans pursuant to
SECTION 4.1.1(I), and each continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Loans pursuant
to SECTION 3.1.2, shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral
multiples of $50,000 in excess of that amount.
4.3.3. LIBOR Lending Office. Each Lender's initial LIBOR Lending
Office is set forth opposite its name on the signature pages hereof. Each Lender
shall have the right at any time and from time to time to designate a different
office of itself or of any Affiliate as such Lender's LIBOR Lending Office, and
to transfer any outstanding LIBOR Loans to such LIBOR Lending Office. No such
designation or transfer shall result in any liability on the part of Borrowers
for increased costs or expenses resulting solely from such designation or
transfer. Increased costs for expenses resulting from a change in Applicable Law
occurring subsequent to any such designation or transfer shall be deemed not to
result solely from such designation or transfer.
4.3.4. Funding of LIBOR Loans. Each Lender may, if it so elects,
fulfill its obligation to make, continue or convert LIBOR Loans hereunder by
causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking
facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such LIBOR Loans; provided,
however, that such LIBOR Loans shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and
to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of Borrowers to repay such LIBOR
Loans shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign
branch, Affiliate or international banking facility and provided Borrowers bear
no increased costs as a result of Lenders funding through a foreign branch or
Affiliate. The calculation of all amounts payable to Lender under SECTIONS 3.7
and 3.10 shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded or committed to
fund its LIBOR Loan through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount
equal to the amount of such LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the
relevant Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans; provided, however, each Lender
may fund its LIBOR Loans in any manner it deems fit and the foregoing
presumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under
SECTIONS 3.7 and 3.10.
4.4. BORROWER AGENT. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints InSight
Health, and InSight Health agrees to act under this Agreement, as the agent and
representative of itself and each other Borrower for all purposes under this
Agreement (in such capacity, "Borrower Agent"), including requesting Borrowings,
selecting whether any Loan or portion thereof is to bear interest as a Base Rate
Loan or a LIBOR Loan, and receiving account statements and other notices and
communications to Borrowers (or any of them) from Administrative Agent.
Administrative Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any
Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion/Continuation, disbursement
instructions, reports, information, Borrowing Base Certificate or any other
notice or communication made or given by Borrower Agent, whether in its own
name, on behalf of any Borrower or on behalf of "the Borrowers," and
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make any inquiry or request any
confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the binding effect on
such Borrower of any such Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion
Continuation, instruction, report, information, Borrowing Base Certificate or
other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of
Borrowers' liability for the Obligations be affected, provided that the
provisions of this SECTION 4.3 shall not be construed so as to preclude any
Borrower from directly requesting Borrowings or taking other actions permitted
to be taken by "a Borrower" hereunder. Administrative Agent may maintain a
single
-56-
Loan Account in the name of "InSight Health Services Corp." hereunder, and each
Borrower expressly agrees to such arrangement and confirms that such arrangement
shall have no effect on the joint and several character of such Borrower's
liability for the Obligations.
4.5. ALL LOANS TO CONSTITUTE ONE OBLIGATION. The Loans and LC Obligations
shall constitute one general obligation of Borrowers and (unless otherwise
expressly provided in any Security Document) shall be secured by Administrative
Agent's Lien upon all of the Collateral; provided, however, that Administrative
Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of each Borrower and the
holder of a separate claim against each Borrower to the extent of any
Obligations jointly and severally owed by Borrowers to Administrative Agent or
such Lender.
SECTION 5. PAYMENTS
5.1. GENERAL PAYMENT PROVISIONS. All payments (including all prepayments)
of principal of and interest on the Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations
that are payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be made to
Administrative Agent in Dollars without any offset or counterclaim and free and
clear of (and without deduction for) any present or future Taxes other than
Excluded Taxes, as required by Applicable Law, and, with respect to payments
made other than by application of balances in the Payment Account, in
immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the due date (and
payment made after such time on the due date to be deemed to have been made on
the next succeeding Business Day). Borrowers shall, at the time Borrowers make
any payment under this Agreement, specify to Administrative Agent the
Obligations to which such payment is to be applied and, if Borrowers fail so to
specify or if the application specified by Borrowers would be inconsistent with
the terms of this Agreement or if an Event of Default exists, Administrative
Agent shall distribute such payment to Lenders for application to the
Obligations in such manner as Administrative Agent, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, may determine to be appropriate. All payments received by
Administrative Agent shall be subject to the rights of offset that
Administrative Agent may have as to amounts otherwise to be remitted to a
particular Lender by reason of amounts due Administrative Agent from such Lender
under any of the Loan Documents, without prejudice to the rights of Borrowers.
5.2. REPAYMENT OF REVOLVER LOANS.
5.2.1. Payment of Principal. The outstanding principal amounts with
respect to the Revolver Loans shall be repaid as follows:
(i) Any portion of the Revolver Loans consisting of the principal
amount of Base Rate Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Administrative
Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders (or, in the case of Swingline
Loans, for the sole benefit of BofA) unless timely converted to a LIBOR
Loan in accordance with this Agreement, (a) if a Restrictive Trigger Event
has occurred and is continuing, upon each receipt by Administrative Agent
or any Lender of any proceeds of Accounts (other than that portion thereof
payable to physicians pursuant to PSAs), or within 7 Business Days of each
receipt by Borrowers of any such proceeds, in each case to the extent of
such proceeds, (b) the Commitment Termination Date, and (c) in the case of
Swingline Loans, if a Restrictive Trigger Event has occurred and is
continuing, the earlier of BofA's demand for payment or on each Settlement
Date with respect to all Swingline Loans outstanding on such date.
(ii) Any portion of the Revolver Loans consisting of the
principal amount of LIBOR Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to
Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, unless continued
as a LIBOR Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, immediately
upon (a) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (b) the
-57-
Commitment Termination Date. In no event shall Borrowers be authorized to
make a voluntary prepayment with respect to any Revolver Loan outstanding
as a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto unless (x) otherwise agreed in writing by Administrative Agent or
Borrowers are otherwise expressly authorized or required by any other
provision of this Agreement to pay any LIBOR Loan outstanding on a date
other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (y)
Borrowers pay to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders,
concurrently with any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan, any amount due
Administrative Agent and Lenders under SECTION 3.10 as a consequence of
such prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this SECTION
5.2.1(II), if, on any date that Administrative Agent receives proceeds of
Accounts or other Collateral, there are no Revolver Loans outstanding as
Base Rate Loans, Administrative Agent may either hold such proceeds as cash
security for the timely payment of the Obligations or apply such proceeds
to any outstanding Revolver Loans bearing interest as LIBOR Loans as the
same become due and payable (whether at the end of the applicable Interest
Periods or on the Commitment Termination Date).
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
elsewhere in this Agreement, if an Out-of-Formula Condition shall exist,
Borrowers shall, on the sooner to occur of 2 Business Days after
Administrative Agent's demand or 2 Business Days after any Borrower has
obtained knowledge of such Out-of-Formula Condition, repay the outstanding
Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolver Loans by an amount
equal to such excess; and, if such payment of Base Rate Loans is not
sufficient to eliminate the Out-of-Formula Condition, then Borrowers shall
immediately deposit with Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of
Lenders, for application to any outstanding Revolver Loans bearing interest
as LIBOR Loans as the same become due and payable (whether at the end of
the applicable Interest Periods or on the Commitment Termination Date) cash
in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Out-of-Formula Condition, and
Administrative Agent may (a) hold such deposit as cash security pending
disbursement of same for application to the Obligations, or (b) if an Event
of Default exists, immediately apply such proceeds to the payment of the
Obligations, including the Revolver Loans outstanding as LIBOR Loans (in
which event Borrowers shall also pay to Administrative Agent for the
benefit of Lenders any amounts required by SECTION 3.10 to be paid by
reason of the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto).
5.2.2. Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on the Revolver Loans
shall be due and payable on (i) the first day of each month (for the immediately
preceding month), computed through the last day of the preceding month, with
respect to any Revolver Loan that is a Base Rate Loan and (ii) the last day of
the applicable Interest Period in the case of a LIBOR Loan. Accrued interest
shall also be paid by Borrowers on the Commitment Termination Date. With respect
to any Base Rate Loan converted into a LIBOR Loan pursuant to SECTION 3.1.2 on a
day when interest would not otherwise have been payable with respect to such
Base Rate Loan, accrued interest to the date of such conversion on the amount of
such Base Rate Loan so converted shall be paid on the conversion date.
5.3. RESERVED.
5.4. PAYMENT OF OTHER OBLIGATIONS. The balance of the Obligations requiring
the payment of money, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses
incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender, shall be repaid by Borrowers to
Administrative Agent for allocation among Administrative Agent and Lenders as
provided in the Loan Documents, or, if no date of payment is otherwise specified
in the Loan Documents, ON DEMAND.
-58-
5.5. MARSHALING; PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. None of Administrative Agent or
Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of
Borrowers or any other Obligor or against or in payment of any or all of the
Obligations. To the extent that Borrowers make a payment to Administrative Agent
or Lenders or Administrative Agent or any Lender receives payment from the
proceeds of any Collateral or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or
the proceeds of such Collateral or setoff (or any part thereof) are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to
be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the extent of any
loss by Administrative Agent or Lenders, the Obligations or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies
therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment or proceeds had not been made or received and any such enforcement or
setoff had not occurred. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence of
this SECTION 5.5 shall survive any termination of the Commitments and Full
Payment of the Obligations.
5.6. ALLOCATION OF PAYMENTS.
5.6.1. Allocation. At any time that an Event of Default exists or
Administrative Agent receives a payment or Collateral proceeds in an amount that
is insufficient to pay all amounts then due and payable to Administrative Agent
and Lenders, all monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether such monies
represent voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments by one or more Obligors
or are received pursuant to demand for payment or realized from any disposition
of Collateral and irrespective of any designation by Borrowers of the
Obligations that are intended to be satisfied, shall be allocated among
Administrative Agent and such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto (and, with
respect to monies allocated to Lenders, on a Pro Rata basis unless otherwise
provided herein): (i) first, to Administrative Agent to pay the amount of
Extraordinary Expenses that have not been reimbursed to Administrative Agent by
Borrowers or Lenders, together with interest accrued thereon at the rate
applicable to Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans, until Full Payment of all
such Obligations; (ii) second, to Administrative Agent to pay principal and
accrued interest on any portion of the Revolver Loans which Administrative Agent
may have advanced on behalf of any Lender and for which Administrative Agent has
not been reimbursed by such Lender or Borrowers, until Full Payment of all such
Obligations; (iii) third, to BofA to pay the principal and accrued interest on
any portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding, to be shared with Lenders that
have acquired and paid for a participating interest in such Swingline Loans,
until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (iv) fourth, to the extent that
Issuing Bank has not received from any Participating Lender a payment as
required by SECTION 2.3.2, to Issuing Bank to pay all such required payments
from each Participating Lender, until Full Payment of all such Obligations; (v)
fifth, to Administrative Agent to pay any Claims that have not been paid
pursuant to any indemnity of Administrative Agent Indemnitees by any Obligor, or
to pay amounts owing by Lenders to Administrative Agent Indemnitees pursuant to
SECTION 13.6, in each case together with interest accrued thereon at the rate
applicable to Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans, until Full Payment of all
such Obligations; (vi) sixth, to Administrative Agent to pay any fees due and
payable to Administrative Agent, until Full Payment of all such Obligations;
(vii) seventh, to each Lender, ratably, for any Claims that such Lender has paid
to Administrative Agent Indemnitees pursuant to its indemnity of Administrative
Agent Indemnitees and any Extraordinary Expenses that such Lender has reimbursed
to Administrative Agent or such Lender has incurred, to the extent that such
Lender has not been reimbursed by Obligors therefor, until Full Payment of all
such Obligations; (viii) eighth, to Issuing Bank to pay principal and interest
with respect to LC Obligations (or to the extent any of the LC Obligations are
contingent and an Event of Default then exists, deposited in the Cash Collateral
Account to Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations), which payment shall be shared
with the Participating Lenders in accordance with SECTION 2.3.2(III), until Full
Payment of all such Obligations; (ix) ninth, to Lenders in payment of the unpaid
principal and accrued interest in respect of the Loans and other Obligations
(excluding Banking Relationship Debt) then outstanding, in such order of
application as shall be designated by Administrative Agent (acting at the
direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders), until Full Payment of
all such Obligations; (x)
-59-
tenth, to BofA or any Affiliate of BofA in payment of any Banking Relationship
Debt owed to such Person and secured by the Collateral hereunder, until Full
Payment of all such Obligations; and (xi) eleventh, to Borrowers as provided in
SECTION 5.7. The allocations set forth in this SECTION 5.6 are solely to
determine the rights and priorities of Administrative Agent and Lenders as among
themselves and may be changed by Administrative Agent and Lenders without notice
to or the consent or approval of any Borrower or any other Person.
5.6.2. Erroneous Allocation. Administrative Agent shall not be liable
for any allocation or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and, if
any such allocation or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made
in error, the sole recourse of any Lender to which payment was due but not made
shall be to recover from the other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount
to which such other Lenders are determined to be entitled (and such other
Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments
received by them).
5.7. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS AND COLLATERAL PROCEEDS. All Payment Items
received by Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m., on any Business Day shall be
deemed received on that Business Day. All Payment Items received by
Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m., on any Business Day shall be deemed
received on the following Business Day. Each Borrower irrevocably waives the
right to direct the application of any and all payments and Collateral proceeds
at any time or times hereafter received by Administrative Agent or any Lender
from or on behalf of Borrowers, and each Borrower does hereby irrevocably agree
that Administrative Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and
reapply any and all such payments and Collateral proceeds received at any time
or times hereafter by Administrative Agent or its agent against the Obligations,
in such manner as Administrative Agent may deem advisable, notwithstanding any
entry by Administrative Agent upon any of its books and records; provided,
however, that any payments or proceeds of Collateral received by Administrative
Agent on any date that an Event of Default does not exist shall be applied in
accordance with any provisions of this Agreement that govern the application of
such payment or proceeds. If, as the result of Administrative Agent's collection
of proceeds of Accounts and other Collateral as authorized by SECTION 8.2.6 a
credit balance exists, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of
Borrowers, but shall be remitted to Borrowers unless (x) there exists an Event
of Default and (y) there are LC Obligations outstanding that have not been Cash
Collateralized. Administrative Agent may apply such credit balance against any
of the Obligations upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and to
the extent so applied, such credit balance shall be applied in the manner
specified in SECTION 5.6.1.
5.8. LOAN ACCOUNTS; ACCOUNT STATED.
5.8.1. Loan Accounts. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with
its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (a "Loan Account")
evidencing the Debt of Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan owing
to Lender from time to time, including the amount of principal and interest
payable to such Lender from time to time hereunder and under each Note payable
to such Lender. Any failure of a Lender to record in the Loan Account, or any
error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of
Borrowers hereunder (or under any Note) to pay any amount owing hereunder to
such Lender.
5.8.2. The Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain a register
(the "Register"), which shall include a master account and a subsidiary account
for each Lender and in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the
date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of each Loan
comprising such Borrowing and any Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the
effective date and amount of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and
accepted by it and the parties thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrowers to each
Lender hereunder or under the Notes, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by
-60-
Administrative Agent from Borrowers or any other Obligor and each Lender's Pro
Rata share thereof. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers
or any Lender at the offices of Administrative Agent at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Any failure of Administrative
Agent to record in the Register, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or
otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers hereunder (or under any Note) to
pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or provide the basis for any
claim against Administrative Agent. The Obligations and Letters of Credit are
registered obligations and the right, title and interest of any Lender and their
assignees in and to such Obligations and Letters of Credit as the case may be,
shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register.
Solely for purposes of this SECTION 5.8.2 and for tax purposes only,
Administrative Agent shall be Borrowers' agent for purposes of maintaining the
Register (but Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any
Borrower or any other Person on account of any inaccuracies contained in the
Register). This SECTION 5.8.2 shall be construed so that the Obligations and
Letters of Credit are at all times maintained in "registered form" within the
meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, and any related regulations (and any other relevant or
successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or such
regulations).
5.8.3. Entries Binding. The entries made in the Register and each Loan
Account shall constitute rebuttably presumptive evidence of the information
contained therein; provided, however, that if a copy of information contained in
the Register or any Loan Account is provided to any Person, or any Person
inspects the Register or any Loan Account, at any time or from time to time,
then the information contained in the Register or the Loan Account, as
applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes
absent manifest error, unless such Person notifies Administrative Agent in
writing within 30 days after such Person's receipt of such copy or such Person's
inspection of the Register or Loan Account of its intention to dispute the
information contained therein.
5.9. TAXES.
5.9.1. Gross Up. If Borrowers shall be required by Applicable Law to
withhold or deduct any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) from or in respect of
any sum payable under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (a) the
sum payable to Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased as may be
necessary so that, after making all required withholding or deductions,
Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions
been made, (b) Borrowers shall make such withholding or deductions, and (c)
Borrowers shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant
taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
5.9.2. Refund. If Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a
refund, credit, or other reduction of taxes in respect of any Taxes paid by
Borrowers pursuant to this SECTION 5.9, such Person shall, within 30 days from
the date of actual receipt of such refund or the filing of the tax return in
which such credit or other reduction results in a lower tax payment, pay over
such refund or the amount of such tax reduction to Borrowers (but only to the
extent of Taxes paid by Borrowers pursuant to this SECTION 5.9), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of such Person, and without interest (other than interest
paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).
5.9.3. Foreign Lenders. Each Foreign Lender, on or prior to the date
of its execution and delivery of this Agreement, on or prior to the date on
which it designates a new lending office, and on or prior to the date on which
it becomes a Lender, in the case of an assignee, and from time to time
thereafter if requested in writing by Borrowers, shall provide Borrowers with
duplicate executed originals of (A) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, or
any successor form, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under
any income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces to
-61-
zero the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest, or (B) Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, or any successor form, certifying that the income
receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct
of a trade or business in the United States; or (C) with respect to any Lender
that is not a bank and is eligible for exemption from tax under SECTION 881(C)
or 871(H) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form, and a certificate substantially in
the form of Exhibit J hereto. Each Foreign Lender who does not deliver a Form
W-8ECI represents that all services performed hereunder with respect to any fees
received or to be received will have been, and will be, performed outside of the
United States.
5.9.4. Remedy. In the event that Borrowers are required to pay
additional amounts pursuant to SECTION 3.7 or SECTION 5.9.1 hereof, Borrowers
may, upon notice to such Lender, either prepay in whole or in part the
outstanding balance on any Loan held by such Lender or require such Lender to
assign and delegate, without recourse all of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to an assignee selected by Borrowers that shall
assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment).
5.10. NATURE AND EXTENT OF EACH BORROWER'S LIABILITY.
5.10.1. Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower shall be liable
for, on a joint and several basis, and hereby guarantees the timely payment by
all other Borrowers of, all of the Loans and other Obligations, regardless of
which Borrower actually may have received the proceeds of any Loans or other
extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the
manner in which Administrative Agent or any Lender accounts for such Loans or
other extensions of credit on its books and records, it being acknowledged and
agreed that Loans to any Borrower inure to the mutual benefit of all Borrowers
and that Administrative Agent and Lenders are relying on the joint and several
liability of Borrowers in extending the Loans and other financial accommodations
hereunder. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that upon
default in the payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) of any principal of, or interest owed on, any of the Loans or other
Obligations, such Borrower shall forthwith pay the same, without notice or
demand.
5.10.2. Unconditional Nature of Liability. Each Borrower's joint and
several liability hereunder with respect to, and guaranty of, the Loans and
other Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, be
unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance or
subordination of any of the Obligations or of any promissory note or other
document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, (ii) the absence of any
attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any other Obligor or any
Collateral or other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to
enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting
of any indulgence by Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any
provision of any instrument evidencing or securing the payment of any of the
Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other
Borrower and delivered to Administrative Agent or any Lender, (iv) the failure
by Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect or maintain the perfected
status of its security interest in or Lien upon, or to preserve its rights to,
any of the Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of
the Obligations or Administrative Agent's release of any Collateral or of its
Liens upon any Collateral, (v) Administrative Agent's or Lenders' election, in
any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, for the application of
Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a
security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section
364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the release or compromise, in whole or in
part, of the liability of any Obligor for the payment of any of the Obligations,
(viii) any amendment or modification of any of the Loan Documents or any waiver
of a Default or Event of Default, (ix) any increase in the amount of the
Obligations beyond any limits imposed herein or in the amount of any interest,
fees or other charges payable in connection therewith, or any decrease in the
same, (x) the disallowance of all or any portion of Administrative Agent's or
any Lender's claims against
-62-
any other Obligor for the repayment of any of the Obligations under Section 502
of the Bankruptcy Code, or (xi) any other circumstance that might constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Obligor (other than prior
payment). After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, Administrative Agent may proceed directly and at once, without notice
to any Obligor, against any or all of Obligors to collect and recover all or any
part of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Obligor or
against any Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any
of the Obligations, and each Borrower waives any provision under Applicable Law
that might otherwise require Administrative Agent to pursue or exhaust its
remedies against any Collateral or Obligor before pursuing another Obligor. Each
Borrower consents and agrees that Administrative Agent shall be under no
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against or in
payment of any or all of the Obligations.
5.10.3. No Reduction in Liability for Obligations. No payment or
payments made by an Obligor or received or collected by Administrative Agent
from a Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any
setoff or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in
reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce,
release or otherwise affect the liability of any Borrower under this Agreement,
each of whom shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment and
performance of all Loans and other Obligations until Full Payment of the
Obligations.
5.10.4. Contribution. Each Borrower is unconditionally obligated to
repay the Obligations as a joint and several obligor under this Agreement. If,
as of any date, the aggregate amount of payments made by a Borrower on account
of the Obligations and proceeds of such Borrower's Collateral that are applied
to the Obligations exceeds the aggregate amount of Loan proceeds actually used
by such Borrower in its business (such excess amount being referred to as an
"Accommodation Payment"), then each of the other Borrowers (each such Borrower
being referred to as a "Contributing Borrower") shall be obligated to make
contribution to such Borrower (the "Paying Borrower") in an amount equal to (A)
the product derived by multiplying the sum of each Accommodation Payment of each
Borrower by the Allocable Percentage of the Borrower from whom contribution is
sought less (B) the amount, if any, of the then outstanding Accommodation
Payment of such Contributing Borrower (such last mentioned amount which is to be
subtracted from the aforesaid product to be increased by any amounts theretofore
paid by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder, and to be
decreased by any amounts theretofore received by such Contributing Borrower by
way of contribution hereunder); provided, however, that a Paying Borrower's
recovery of contribution hereunder from the other Borrowers shall be limited to
that amount paid by the Paying Borrower in excess of its Allocable Percentage of
all Accommodation Payments then outstanding of all Borrowers. As used herein,
the term "Allocable Percentage" shall mean, on any date of determination
thereof, a fraction the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of
Borrowers who are parties to this Agreement on such date and the numerator of
which shall be 1; provided, however, that such percentages shall be modified in
the event that contribution from a Borrower is not possible by reason of
insolvency, bankruptcy or otherwise by reducing such Borrower's Allocable
Percentage equitably and by adjusting the Allocable Percentage of the other
Borrowers proportionately so that the Allocable Percentages of all Borrowers at
all times equals 100%.
5.10.5. Subordination. Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims,
including any right of payment, subrogation, contribution and indemnity, that it
may have from or against any other Obligor, and any successor or assign of any
other Obligor, including any trustee, receiver or debtor-in-possession,
howsoever arising, due or owing or whether heretofore, now or hereafter
existing, to the Full Payment of all of the Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made).
-63-
SECTION 6. TERM AND TERMINATION OF COMMITMENT
6.1. TERM OF COMMITMENTS. Subject to each Lender's right to cease making
Loans and other extensions of credit to Borrowers when any Default or Event of
Default exists or upon termination of the Commitments as provided in SECTION
6.2, the Commitments shall be in effect for a period (the "Term") commencing on
the date hereof and continuing until the close of business on September 22,
2010, unless sooner terminated as provided in SECTION 6.2.
6.2. TERMINATION.
6.2.1. Termination by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may
(and upon the direction of the Required Lenders, shall) terminate the Commitment
without notice at any time that an Event of Default exists; provided, however,
that the Commitment shall automatically terminate as provided in SECTION 12.2.
6.2.2. Termination by Borrowers. Upon at least 30 days prior written
notice to Administrative Agent, Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the
Commitments; provided, however, no such termination by Borrowers shall be
effective until Full Payment of the Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made). Any notice of
termination given by Borrowers shall be irrevocable unless Administrative Agent
otherwise agrees in writing. Borrowers may elect to terminate the Commitments in
their entirety only, provided that nothing contained herein shall affect
Borrowers' right to voluntarily reduce the Revolver Commitments as provided in
SECTION 2.1.5. No section of this Agreement, Type of Loan available hereunder or
Commitment may be terminated by Borrowers singly.
6.2.3. Reserved.
6.2.4. Effect of Termination. On the effective date of termination of
the Commitments by Administrative Agent or by Borrowers, all of the Obligations
(other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been
made) shall be immediately due and payable; Lenders shall have no obligation to
make any Loans; Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letters of
Credit, and BofA may terminate any Bank Products (including any services or
products under Cash Management Agreements). All undertakings, agreements,
covenants, warranties and representations of Borrowers contained in the Loan
Documents shall survive any such termination, and Administrative Agent shall
retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the
Loan Documents notwithstanding such termination until Full Payment of the
Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no
claim has been made). Notwithstanding the Full Payment of the Obligations (other
than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made),
Administrative Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens in any of the
Collateral unless, with respect to any loss or damage Administrative Agent may
incur as a result of the dishonor or return of any Payment Items applied to the
Obligations, Administrative Agent shall have received either (i) a written
agreement, executed by Borrowers and any Person deemed financially responsible
by Administrative Agent whose loans or other advances to Borrowers are used in
whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Administrative Agent
and Lenders from any such loss or damage; or (ii) such monetary reserves and
Liens on the Collateral for such period of time as Administrative Agent, in its
reasonable discretion, may deem necessary to protect Administrative Agent from
any such loss or damage. The provisions of SECTIONS 3.4, 5.5, 5.9 and this
SECTION 6.2.4 and all obligations of Borrowers to indemnify Administrative Agent
or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
shall in all events survive any termination of the Commitment and Full Payment
of the Obligations.
SECTION 7. COLLATERAL
-64-
7.1. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the prompt payment and
performance of all of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing security
interest in and Lien upon all of the following Property and interests in
Property of such Borrower, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created,
acquired or arising and wheresoever located: (i) all Accounts; (ii) all
Instruments, Chattel Paper (including Electronic Chattel Paper), Documents,
Letter-of-Credit Rights and Supporting Obligations, in each case to the extent
arising out of, relating to, or given in exchange or settlement for or to
evidence the obligation to pay any Account; (iii) all General Intangibles that
arise out of or are related to any Account or from which any Account arises;
(iv) all of the Deposit Accounts Collateral; (v) all monies now or at any time
or times hereafter in the possession or under the control of Administrative
Agent or a bailee of Administrative Agent, including any Cash Collateral in any
Cash Collateral Account; (vi) all products and cash and non-cash proceeds of the
foregoing, including proceeds of insurance in respect of any of the foregoing;
(vii) all books and records (including customer lists, files, correspondence,
tapes, computer programs, print-outs and other computer materials and records)
of such Borrower pertaining to any of the foregoing.
7.2. RESERVED.
7.3. RESERVED.
7.4. CERTAIN AFTER-ACQUIRED COLLATERAL. Borrowers shall promptly notify
Administrative Agent in writing upon any Borrower's obtaining any Collateral
after the Restatement Effective Date consisting of Deposit Accounts (other than
Deposit Accounts into which payments with respect to Governmental Receivables
are directly deposited or transferred), Letter-of-Credit Rights or Chattel
Paper, to the extent such Deposit Accounts, Letter-of-Credit Rights or Chattel
Paper arise out of, relate to or are given in exchange or settlement for or to
evidence the obligation to pay any Account, and, upon Administrative Agent's
request, shall promptly execute such documents and do such other acts or things
reasonably deemed appropriate by Administrative Agent to confer upon
Administrative Agent a duly perfected first priority Lien (subject to Permitted
Liens), upon and (to the extent applicable for the perfection of a Lien) control
with respect to such Collateral; and promptly notify Administrative Agent in
writing upon any Borrower's obtaining any Collateral after the Restatement
Effective Date consisting of Documents or Instruments to the extent they arise
out of, relate to or are given in exchange or settlement for or to evidence the
obligation to pay any Account, and, upon Administrative Agent's request, shall
promptly execute such documents and do such other acts or things reasonably
deemed appropriate by Administrative Agent to deliver to it possession of such
Documents as are negotiable and such Instruments, to the extent they arise out
of, relate to or are given in exchange or settlement for or to evidence the
obligation to pay any Account.
7.5. NO ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITY. The security interest granted pursuant to
this Agreement is granted as security only and shall not subject Administrative
Agent or any Lender to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or
liability of Borrowers with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.
7.6. LIEN PERFECTION; FURTHER ASSURANCES. Promptly after Administrative
Agent's request therefor, Borrowers shall execute or cause to be executed and
deliver to Administrative Agent such instruments, assignments or other documents
as are necessary under the UCC or other Applicable Law to perfect (or continue
the perfection of) Administrative Agent's Lien upon the Collateral and shall
take such other action as may be requested by Administrative Agent to give
effect to or carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Unless
prohibited by Applicable Law, each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes
Administrative Agent to execute and file in any jurisdiction any financing
statement or amendment thereto on such Borrower's behalf, including financing
statements that indicate the Collateral as set forth in this SECTION 7. Each
Borrower also hereby ratifies its authorization for Administrative Agent to have
filed in any jurisdiction any like financing statement or amendment thereto if
filed prior to
-65-
the date hereof. The parties agree that a carbon, photographic or other
reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement and
may be filed in any appropriate office in lieu thereof.
SECTION 8. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION
8.1. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
8.1.1. Location of Collateral. Collateral shall at all times be kept
by Borrowers at one or more of the business locations of Borrowers set forth in
SCHEDULE 9.1.6 hereto and shall not be moved therefrom, without the prior
written approval of Administrative Agent, except that in the absence of an Event
of Default and acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations in consequence
thereof, Borrowers may move any record relating to any Collateral to a location
in the United States other than those shown on SCHEDULE 9.1.6 hereto so long as
Borrowers have given Administrative Agent at least 5 days prior written notice
of such new location and prior to moving to such location there have been filed
any UCC-1 financing statements or other appropriate documentation necessary to
perfect or continue perfection of Administrative Agent's first priority Liens
subject to Permitted Liens with respect to such Collateral.
8.1.2. Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds. Borrowers
shall, upon request by Administrative Agent, deliver the originals or certified
copies of all insurance policies to Administrative Agent with certificates of
insurance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent naming Administrative
Agent as an additional insured with respect to Borrowers' general liability
insurance. If any Borrower fails to provide and pay for such insurance,
Administrative Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to, procure
the same and charge Borrowers therefor. Each Borrower agrees to deliver to
Administrative Agent, promptly as rendered, true copies of all reports made in
any reporting forms to insurance companies (other than reports with respect to
professional liability insurance).
8.1.3. Protection of Collateral. All expenses of protecting, storing,
warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral, all
Taxes imposed under any Applicable Law on any of the Collateral or in respect of
the sale thereof, and all other payments required to be made by Administrative
Agent to any Person to realize upon any Collateral shall be borne and paid by
Borrowers. Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible in any way
for the safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto
(except for reasonable care in the custody thereof while any Collateral is in
Administrative Agent's actual possession) or for any diminution in the value
thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding
agency, or other Person whomsoever, but the same shall be at Borrowers' sole
risk.
8.1.4. Defense of Title to Collateral. Each Borrower shall at all
times defend such Borrower's title to the Collateral and Administrative Agent's
Liens therein against all Persons and all claims and demands whatsoever other
than Permitted Liens and Permitted Asset Dispositions.
8.2. ADMINISTRATION OF ACCOUNTS.
8.2.1. Records and Schedules of Accounts. Each Borrower shall keep
accurate and complete records of its Accounts and all payments and collections
thereon. Each Borrower shall also provide to Administrative Agent on or before
the 25th day of each month, a detailed aged trial balance of all Accounts
existing as of the last day of the preceding month, specifying the names, face
value, dates of invoices and due dates for each Account Debtor obligated on an
Account so listed ("Schedule of Accounts"), and, upon Administrative Agent's
request therefor, copies of all documents, including repayment histories and
present status reports relating to the Accounts so scheduled and such other
matters and information relating to the status of then existing Accounts as
Administrative Agent
-66-
shall reasonably request. In addition, at any time that there are Revolver Loans
outstanding or LC Obligations that have not been Cash Collateralized exceed
$2,000,000, if an Account in the face amount in excess of $1,000,000 ceases to
be an Eligible Account in whole or in part, Borrowers shall notify
Administrative Agent of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within 7
Business Days) after any Borrower's having obtained knowledge of such occurrence
and the Borrowing Base shall thereupon be adjusted to reflect such occurrence.
To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower shall deliver to
Administrative Agent copies of invoices or invoice registers related to all of
its Accounts.
8.2.2. Discounts, Disputes and Returns. At any time that there are
Revolver Loans outstanding or LC Obligations that have not been Cash
Collateralized exceed $2,000,000, if any Borrower grants any discounts,
allowances or credits on an Eligible Account in excess of 5% of the amount of
such Account that are not shown on the face of the invoice for the Eligible
Account involved, such Borrower shall report such discounts, allowances or
credits, as the case may be, to Administrative Agent as part of the next
required Schedule of Accounts. At any time that there are Revolver Loans
outstanding or LC Obligations that have not been Cash Collateralized exceed
$2,000,000, if any amounts due and owing in excess of $750,000 are in dispute
between any Borrower and any Account Debtor, such Borrower shall provide
Administrative Agent with written notice thereof at the time of submission of
the next Schedule of Accounts.
8.2.3. Taxes. If an Account of any Borrower includes a charge for any
Taxes payable to any Governmental Authority, Administrative Agent is authorized,
in its discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for
the account of such Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor; provided,
however, that neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall be liable for any
Taxes that may be due by Borrowers.
8.2.4. Account Verification. Whether or not a Default or an Event of
Default exists, Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, in the
name of Administrative Agent, any designee of Administrative Agent or any
Borrower to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any
Wholesale Receivable of such Borrower by mail, telephone, telegraph or
otherwise. Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Administrative Agent in an
effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.
8.2.5. MAINTENANCE OF DOMINION ACCOUNT.
(i) Borrowers shall establish and maintain a system of cash
management that is acceptable to Agent with BofA or such other bank or
banks as may be selected by Borrowers and be reasonably acceptable to
Administrative Agent. Such system of cash management shall include (i) a
lockbox (or lockboxes), and related Deposit Account (or Deposit Accounts),
for remittance and deposit (including by way of electronic funds transfer)
of collections or payments with respect to Wholesale Receivables (each a
"Wholesale Collection Account"), (ii) a Deposit Account (or Deposit
Accounts) into which collections and payments with respect to Retail
Receivables (including Governmental Receivables) are deposited or remitted
by electronic funds transfer or otherwise (each a "Retail Collection
Account"), (iii) a Deposit Account that constitutes a "concentration
account" (the "Concentration Account") into which collected funds from the
Collection Accounts (other than amounts payable to physicians pursuant to
PSAs) shall be transferred within 7 Business Days of receipt thereof and
(iv) such other Deposit Accounts and/or lockboxes as Borrowers shall deem
to be necessary or appropriate to conduct their business operations.
Borrowers shall have access to the funds that are deposited in the
foregoing Deposit Accounts, provided that (a) Borrowers shall not deposit
proceeds of Property constituting collateral security for the Senior Notes
therein, (b) Borrowers shall not deposit the proceeds of any Collateral
into any Deposit Account maintained for or in connection
-67-
with the Senior Notes or into which the proceeds of collateral security for
the Senior Notes are, or are intended to be, deposited and (c) the
provisions of SECTION 8.2.5(II) shall control after the occurrence of a
Restrictive Trigger Event.
(ii) If a Restrictive Trigger Event occurs at any time, then all
monies in the Concentration Account and in each Wholesale Collection
Account shall be deposited each day in the Payment Account and applied to
the Obligations as determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with
this Agreement. If thereafter, a Restrictive Trigger Event does not exist
during any period of 90 consecutive days, then as soon as practicable, but
in any event within 5 Business Days, Administrative Agent will permit
Borrowers to access the monies in the Concentration Account and in each
Wholesale Collection Account for use as provided in SECTIONS 2.1.3 and
8.2.5(I) hereof.
8.2.6. Collection of Accounts and Proceeds of Collateral. To expedite
collection of Accounts, each Borrower shall endeavor in the first instance to
make collection of such Borrower's Accounts for Administrative Agent and Lenders
and, in connection therewith, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep
in full force and effect any Supporting Obligation or collateral security
relating to each such Account. All Payment Items received by any Borrower in
respect of its Accounts, together with the proceeds of any other Collateral,
shall be held by such Borrower as trustee of an express trust for Administrative
Agent's and Lenders' benefit; Borrowers shall promptly, and in any event no
later than the seventh Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, deposit
the same in kind in the Collection Accounts; and Administrative Agent may remit
such proceeds to Lenders for application to the Obligations in the manner
authorized by this Agreement. Administrative Agent retains the right at all
times that an Event of Default exists to notify Account Debtors on Wholesale
Receivables of any Borrower that Wholesale Receivables have been assigned to
Administrative Agent, to collect Wholesale Receivables directly in its own name
(and, in connection therewith, and to charge to Borrowers the collection costs
and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent, including reasonable attorneys'
fees). At any time an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall have
the right to settle or adjust all disputes and claims directly with the Account
Debtor on Wholesale Receivables and to compromise the amount or extend the time
for payment of any Wholesale Receivables upon such terms and conditions as
Administrative Agent may deem advisable, and to charge the deficiencies, costs
and expenses thereof, including attorneys' fees, to Borrowers.
8.3. ADMINISTRATION OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. Each Borrower represents that, as
of the Restatement Effective Date, SCHEDULE 8.3 (as the same may be amended or
supplemented from time to time) sets forth all of the Deposit Accounts
maintained by each Borrower that arise out or relate to the Accounts, including
Deposit Accounts into which all Payment Items relating to any Collateral are
deposited; a Borrower is the sole account holder of each such Deposit Account
and is not aware of any Person (other than Administrative Agent) having either
dominion or control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) over any
such Deposit Account or any property deposited therein (other than any such
control that has been released or terminated on or before the Restatement
Effective Date and control arising by operation of law in favor the depository
bank in which such Deposit Account is maintained); and each Borrower has taken
all actions required to establish Administrative Agent's "control" (within the
meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) over the Concentration Account, the
Investment Accounts and any other Deposit Account that relates to the Accounts
(other than any Deposit Account specially and exclusively used for payroll,
payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit
of such Borrower's employees or into which payments with respect to Governmental
Receivables are directly deposited or transferred). Each Borrower shall promptly
notify Administrative Agent of any additional Deposit Account of the type
described above in this SECTION 8.3 opened and any Deposit Account of the type
described above in SECTION 8.3 that is closed, and will amend SCHEDULE 8.3 to
reflect such addition or deletion.
-68-
8.4. BORROWING BASE CERTIFICATES. Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative
Agent (and Administrative Agent shall, on request from a Lender, promptly
deliver to such Lender) a Borrowing Base Certificate: (a) on the Restatement
Effective Date; (b) if there are no Revolver Loans outstanding and the LC
Obligations that have not been Cash Collateralized do not exceed $2,000,000, on
the 25th day of the month following the end of each Fiscal Quarter, prepared as
of the last day of such Fiscal Quarter, or if there are Revolver Loans
outstanding or LC Obligations that have not been Cash Collateralized exceed
$2,000,000, on the Business Day that the initial Revolver Loan is requested, or
deemed requested by Borrower or the LC Obligations that are not Cash
Collateralized initially exceed $2,000,000, and on the 25th day of each month
thereafter, prepared as of the last day of the previous month; (c) if there are
Revolver Loans outstanding or the LC Obligations that have not been Cash
Collateralized exceed $2,000,000, on any Business Day on which Borrowers shall
dispose of any Eligible Accounts having a face amount in excess of $250,000 to
the extent permitted pursuant to clause (ii)(k) of the definition of Permitted
Asset Disposition; (d) during the continuance of an Event of Default, at such
other times as Administrative Agent may request, provided that Borrowers may
deliver Borrowing Base Certificates more frequently at their option. All
calculations of Availability in connection with any Borrowing Base Certificate
shall originally be made by Borrowers and certified by an authorized officer to
Administrative Agent, provided that Administrative Agent shall have the right to
review and adjust, in the exercise of its Credit Judgment, any such calculation
to the extent that such calculation is not in accordance with this Agreement or
does not accurately reflect the amount of the Availability Reserve. In no event
shall the Borrowing Base on any date be deemed to exceed the amount of the
Borrowing Base shown on the Borrowing Base Certificate most recently received by
Administrative Agent, as the calculation in such Borrowing Base Certificate may
be adjusted from time to time by Administrative Agent as herein authorized.
SECTION 9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
9.1. GENERAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. To induce Administrative Agent
and Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make available the Commitments,
each Borrower warrants and represents to Administrative Agent and Lenders that:
9.1.1. Organization and Qualification. Each Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Each Borrower and each
of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation in all states and jurisdictions in which
the failure of such Borrower or Subsidiary, as the case may be, to be so
qualified would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
9.1.2. Power and Authority. Each Borrower and each Guarantor is duly
authorized and empowered to enter into, execute, deliver and perform each of the
Loan Documents to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents have been duly authorized
by all necessary action and do not and will not (i) require any consent or
approval of any of the holders of the Equity Interests of any Borrower or any of
its Subsidiary other than those obtained on or prior to the date hereof; (ii)
contravene the Organic Documents of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;
(iii) violate, or cause any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to be in default
under, any provision of any Applicable Law, order, writ, judgment, injunction,
decree, determination or award in effect having applicability to any Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) result in a breach of or constitute a default
under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease or
instrument to which any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by
which it or its Properties may be bound or affected; or (v) result in, or
require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens)
upon or with respect to any of the Properties now owned or hereafter acquired by
any
-69-
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the case of clauses (iii), (iv)
or (v) of this SECTION 9.1.2 as would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
9.1.3. Legally Enforceable Agreement. The Loan Documents when
delivered will be, legal, valid and binding obligations of each Borrower and
each of its Subsidiaries signatories thereto enforceable against them in
accordance with the respective terms of such Loan Documents, except as the
enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights.
9.1.4. Capital Structure. As of the date hereof, SCHEDULE 9.1.4 hereto
states (i) the correct name of each Borrower, its jurisdiction of incorporation
and the percentage of its Equity Interests having voting powers owned by each
Person. Each Borrower has good title to all of the shares it purports to own of
the Equity Interests of each of its Subsidiaries, free and clear in each case of
any Lien other than Permitted Liens. All such Equity Interests have been duly
issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.
9.1.5. Corporate Names. To the best of its knowledge, during the
5-year period preceding the date of this Agreement, no Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries has been known as or used any corporate, fictitious or trade names
except those listed on SCHEDULE 9.1.5 hereto. To the best of its knowledge,
except as set forth on SCHEDULE 9.1.5, no Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries
has been the surviving corporation of a merger or consolidation or acquired all
or substantially all of the assets of any Person.
9.1.6. Business Locations; Agent for Process. As of the date hereof,
the chief executive office and other places of business of each Borrower and its
Subsidiaries are as listed on SCHEDULE 9.1.6 hereto.
9.1.7. Title to Properties; Priority of Liens. Each Borrower and each
of its Subsidiaries has good title to all of its personal Property, including
all Property reflected in the financial statements referred to in SECTION 9.1.9
or delivered pursuant to SECTION 10.1.3, except as could not be reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, in each case free and clear of all
Liens except Permitted Liens. Each Borrower has paid or discharged, and has
caused each of its Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, all material lawful claims
which, if unpaid, might become a Lien against any Properties of such Borrower or
any such Subsidiary that is not a Permitted Lien. The Liens granted to
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the other Security Documents
are duly perfected, first priority Liens, subject only to those Permitted Liens
that are expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement to have priority
over the Liens of Administrative Agent.
9.1.8. Wholesale Receivables and Retail Receivables.
(i) Wholesale Receivables. Administrative Agent may rely, in
determining which Wholesale Receivables are Eligible Wholesale Receivables,
on all statements and representations made by Borrowers with respect to any
Account. With respect to each Eligible Wholesale Receivable, each Borrower
warrants that:
(a) it is genuine and in all respects what it purports to be, and
it is not evidenced by a judgment;
(b) it arises out of a completed, bona fide sale and delivery of
goods or rendition of services by a Borrower in the Ordinary Course of
Business and substantially in accordance with the terms and conditions
of all purchase orders, contracts
-70-
or other documents relating thereto and forming a part of the contract
between a Borrower and the Account Debtor;
(c) it is for a sum certain maturing as stated in the duplicate
invoice covering such sale or rendition of services, a copy of which
has been furnished or is available to Administrative Agent on request;
(d) such Account, and Administrative Agent's security interest
therein, is not, subject to any offset, Lien, deduction, defense,
dispute, counterclaim or any other adverse condition except for

invoice evidencing an Account or arising in the Ordinary Course of
Business and disclosed to Administrative Agent, each such Account is
absolutely owing to a Borrower and is not contingent in any respect or
for any reason;
(e) the contract under which such Account arose does not
condition or restrict a Borrower's right to assign to Administrative
Agent the right to payment thereunder unless such Borrower has
obtained the Account Debtor's consent to such collateral assignment or
complied with any conditions to such assignment (regardless of whether
under the UCC or other Applicable Law any such restrictions are
ineffective to prevent the grant of a Lien upon such Account in favor
of Administrative Agent);
(f) such Borrower has not made any agreement with any Account
Debtor thereunder for any extension, compromise, settlement or
modification of any such Account or any deduction therefrom, except
discounts or allowances which are granted by a Borrower in the
Ordinary Course of Business and which are reflected in the calculation
of the net amount of each respective invoice related thereto and are
reflected in the Schedules of Accounts submitted to Administrative
Agent pursuant to SECTION 8.2.1;
(g) to the best of such Borrower's knowledge, there are no facts,
events or occurrences which are reasonably likely to impair the
validity or enforceability of such Account or reduce the amount
payable thereunder from the face amount of the invoice and statements
delivered to Administrative Agent with respect thereto;
(h) to the best of such Borrower's knowledge, the Account Debtor
thereunder (1) had the capacity to contract at the time any contract
or other document giving rise to the Account was executed and (2) is
Solvent; and
(i) to the best of such Borrower's knowledge, there are no
proceedings or actions which are threatened or pending against any
Account Debtor thereunder and which are reasonably likely to result in
any material adverse change in such Account Debtor's financial
condition or the collectibility of such Account.
(ii) Retail Receivables. Administrative Agent may rely, in
determining which Retail Receivables are Eligible Retail Receivables, on
all statements and representations made by Borrowers with respect to any
Retail Receivable. With respect to each Eligible Retail Receivable, each
Borrower warrants that:
(a) all information relating to such Retail Receivable that has
been delivered to Administrative Agent is true and correct in all
material respects. With respect to each such Retail Receivable, such
Retail Receivable has been billed after the date the services
-71-
or goods giving rise to such Retail Receivable were rendered or
provided, as applicable, all information set forth in the xxxx and
supporting claim documents is true, complete and correct in all
material respects and each xxxx contains an express direction
requiring the Third Party Payor to remit payments as set forth in
SECTION 8.2.6;
(b) such Retail Receivable is payable in an amount not less than
its Net Realizable Value by the Third Party Payor identified by
Borrowers as the payor thereon and is recognized as such by such Third
Party Payor. There is no payor on such Retail Receivable other than
the Third Party Payor identified by Borrower as the payor primarily
liable on such Retail Receivable;
(c) no such Retail Receivable (1) requires the approval of any
Person for the grant of a Lien in such Retail Receivable to
Administrative Agent hereunder or (2) is past the statutory limit for
collection applicable to the Third Party Payor;
(d) the patient received the services constituting the basis of
such Retail Receivable in the Ordinary Course of Business;

by such Borrower or (2) negotiated fee contracts with, or imposed fee
schedules from, the applicable Third Party Payor;
(f) the Third Party Payor with respect to such Retail Receivable
is, to such Borrower's actual knowledge but without inquiry, located
in the United States and is (1) a Person which in the Ordinary Course
of Business agrees to pay for healthcare services received by
individuals, including commercial insurance companies and non-profit
insurance companies issuing health or other types of insurance,
employers or unions, self-insured healthcare organizations, preferred
provider organizations and health insured, prepaid maintenance
organizations, (2) a state, an agency or instrumentality of a state or
a political subdivision of a state or (3) the United States or an
agency or instrumentality of the United States;
(g) if requested by Administrative Agent, a copy of each related
Provider Agreement to which a Borrower is a party has been delivered
to Administrative Agent unless any such delivery is prohibited by the
terms of the Provider Agreement or by Applicable Law; and
(h) neither such Retail Receivable nor the related Provider
Agreement contravenes any material Applicable Laws applicable thereto
and no Borrower is in violation of any such Applicable Law.
9.1.9. Financial Statements; Fiscal Year. The Consolidated balance
sheet of Borrowers and such other Persons described therein as of March 31,
2005, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholder's equity, and
changes in financial position for the periods ended on such dates, have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP, and present fairly in all material respects
the Consolidated financial positions of Borrowers and such Persons at such dates

the SEC.
-72-
9.1.10. Full Disclosure. The financial statements referred to in
SECTION 9.1.9 do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and neither
this Agreement nor any other written statement, when taken together, contains or
omits any material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or
therein not materially misleading. There is no fact or circumstance in existence
on the date hereof which any Borrower has failed to disclose to Administrative
Agent in writing that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
9.1.11. Solvent Financial Condition. Each Borrower and its
Subsidiaries is now Solvent and, after giving effect to the Loans to be made
hereunder, the LC Obligations to be incurred in connection herewith and the
consummation of the other transactions described in the Loan Documents, will be
Solvent.
9.1.12. Surety Obligations. As of the date hereof, no Borrower nor any
of its Subsidiaries is obligated as surety or indemnitor under any surety,
performance or similar bond issued to assure payment, performance or completion
of performance of any undertaking or obligation of any Person.
9.1.13. Taxes. The FEIN of each of each Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries is as shown on SCHEDULE 9.1.13. Each Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries has filed all material federal, state and local tax returns and
other material reports it is required by law to file and has paid, or made
provision for the payment of, all material Taxes upon it, its income and
Properties as and when such Taxes are due and payable, except to the extent
being Properly Contested. The provision for Taxes on the books of each Borrower
and each of its Subsidiaries are adequate in accordance with GAAP or all years

9.1.16. Compliance with Laws. Each Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries has duly complied with, and its Properties, business operations and
leaseholds are in compliance in all material respects with, the provisions of
all Applicable Law, including all Healthcare Laws (except to the extent that any
such noncompliance with Applicable Law could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
except to the extent that any failure of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to
comply with an Applicable Law could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect:
(i) neither any Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries is engaged
in or has engaged in any course of conduct that could subject any of their
respective Properties to any Lien, seizure or other forfeiture under any
criminal law, racketeer-influenced and corrupt organizations law, civil or
criminal, or other similar laws; and
(ii) neither any Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries has engaged
in any activities that are prohibited under any Medicaid Regulations or

to Third Party Payors.

or such Lender's exercise of any such right or remedy shall not operate to waive
any such Event of Default or to preclude the exercise by Administrative Agent or
any Lender of any other right or remedy, unless otherwise expressly agreed in
writing by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be.
SECTION 13. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
13.1. APPOINTMENT, AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
13.1.1. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and designates BofA as
Administrative Agent to act as herein specified. Administrative Agent may, and
each Lender by its acceptance of a Note and becoming a party to this Agreement
shall be deemed irrevocably to have authorized Administrative Agent to, enter
into all Loan Documents to which Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a
party and all amendments hereto and all Security Documents at any time executed
by any Obligor, for its benefit and the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders and, except
as otherwise provided in this SECTION 13, to exercise such rights and powers
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated
to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such
other rights and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender agrees
that any action taken by Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
and the exercise by Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders of any of the
powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall
-93-
have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (a) act as the disbursing and
collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections
arising in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (b)
execute and deliver as Administrative Agent each Loan Document (including each
Lien Waiver) and accept delivery of each such agreement by any Obligor or any
other Person; (c) act as collateral Administrative Agent for Secured Parties for
purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens created by this
Agreement or the Security Documents and, subject to the direction of the
Required Lenders, for all other purposes stated therein, provided that
Administrative Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender to act
as a collateral sub-agent for Administrative Agent and the other Lenders for
purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens with respect to a
Borrower's Deposit Accounts maintained with, and all cash and Cash Equivalents
held by, such Lender; (d) subject to the direction of the Required Lenders,
manage, supervise or otherwise deal with the Collateral; and (e) except as may
be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms of this Agreement and subject
to the direction of the Required Lenders, exercise all remedies given to
Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral under the Loan
Documents relating thereto, Applicable Law or otherwise. The duties of
Administrative Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and
Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document a fiduciary relationship with any Lender (or any of Lender's
participants). Unless and until its authority to do so is revoked in writing by
Required Lenders, Administrative Agent alone shall be authorized to determine
whether any Accounts constitute Eligible Accounts (basing such determination in
each case upon the meanings given to such terms in SECTION 1), or whether to
impose or release any reserve, and to exercise its own Credit Judgment in
connection therewith, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good
faith, shall exonerate Administrative Agent from any liability to Lenders or any
other Person for any errors in judgment.
13.1.2. Administrative Agent (which term, as used in this sentence,
shall include reference to Administrative Agent's officers, directors,
employees, attorneys, agents and Affiliates and to the officers, directors,
employees, attorneys and agents of Administrative Agent's Affiliates) shall not:
(a) have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (b) be required to take, initiate or
conduct any Enforcement Action (including any litigation, foreclosure or
collection proceedings hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents)
except to the extent directed to do so by the Required Lenders during the
continuance of any Event of Default. The conferral upon Administrative Agent of
any right hereunder shall not imply a duty on Administrative Agent's part to
exercise any such right unless instructed to do so by the Required Lenders in
accordance with this Agreement.
13.1.3. Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties by or
through its agents and employees and may employ one or more Administrative Agent
Professionals and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of
any such Administrative Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable care.
Borrowers shall promptly (and in any event, ON DEMAND) reimburse Administrative
Agent for all reasonable expenses (including all Extraordinary Expenses)
incurred by Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the provisions hereof or of
any of the other Loan Documents or in the execution of any of Administrative
Agent's duties hereby or thereby created or in the exercise of any right or
power herein or therein imposed or conferred upon it or Lenders (excluding,
however, general overhead expenses), and each Lender agrees promptly to pay to
Administrative Agent, ON DEMAND, such Lender's Pro Rata share of any such
reimbursement for expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) that is not timely
made by Borrowers to Administrative Agent.
13.1.4. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges conferred upon
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents may be
exercised by Administrative Agent without the necessity of the joinder of any
other parties unless otherwise required by Applicable Law. If Administrative
Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any
act or
-94-
action (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain
from such act or taking such action unless and until Administrative Agent shall
have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and Administrative Agent
shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without
limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever
against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or
refraining from acting hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents pursuant to
or in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders except for
Administrative Agent's own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection
with any action taken by it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action
that is in its opinion contrary to Applicable Law or the terms of any of the
Loan Documents or that would in its reasonable opinion subject it or any of its
officers, employees or directors to personal liability.
13.1.5. Administrative Agent shall promptly, upon receipt thereof,
forward to each Lender (i) copies of any significant written notices, reports,
certificates and other information received by Administrative Agent from any
Obligor (but only if and to the extent such Obligor is not required by the terms
of the Loan Documents to supply such information directly to Lenders) and (ii)
copies of the results of any field audits or other examinations made or prepared
by or on behalf of Administrative Agent with respect to Borrowers or the
Collateral (each, a "Report" and collectively, "Reports"). Administrative Agent
shall conduct field audits of Borrowers at any time or times reasonably
requested by any Lender (but in no event shall Administrative Agent be obliged
to honor such requests more frequently than twice a calendar year unless an
Event of Default exists).
13.2. AGREEMENTS REGARDING COLLATERAL AND EXAMINATION REPORTS.
13.2.1. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent to
release any Lien with respect to any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the
Commitments and Full Payment of the Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), (ii) that is the
subject of an Asset Disposition which Borrowers certify in writing to
Administrative Agent is a Permitted Asset Disposition (and Administrative Agent
may rely conclusively on any such certificate without further inquiry), or (iii)
with the written consent of all Lenders. Administrative Agent shall have no
obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that any of the Collateral
exists or is owned by a Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has
been encumbered, or that Administrative Agent's Liens have been properly,
sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are
entitled to any particular priority or to exercise any duty of care with respect
to any of the Collateral.
13.2.2. Administrative Agent and Lenders each hereby appoints each
other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens (for the benefit of
Secured Parties) in any Collateral that, in accordance with the UCC or any other
Applicable Law, can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender obtain
possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Administrative Agent
thereof, and, promptly upon Administrative Agent's request therefor, shall
deliver such Collateral to Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such
Collateral in accordance with Administrative Agent's instructions.
13.2.3. Each Lender agrees that neither BofA nor Administrative Agent
makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any
Report and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from
any such Report; agrees that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive
audits or examinations and that BofA or Administrative Agent or any other Person
performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information
regarding Obligations or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon
Borrowers' books and records as well as upon representations of Borrowers'
officers and employees; agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for
its internal
-95-
use and not to distribute the Reports (or the contents thereof) to any Person
(except to its Participants, attorneys, accountants and other Persons with whom
such Lender has a confidential relationship) or use any Report in any other
manner; and, without limiting the generality of any other indemnification
contained herein, agrees to hold Administrative Agent and any other Person
preparing a Report harmless from any action that the indemnifying Lender may
take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in
connection with any Loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying
Lender has made or may make to Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender's
participation in, or its purchase of, a loan or loans of any Obligor, and to pay
and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each other
such Person preparing a Report harmless from and against all claims, actions,
proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other amounts (including attorneys'
fees) incurred by Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a
Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain
all or any part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.
13.3. RELIANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, upon any
certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by
telephone, telex, telegram, telecopier message or cable) believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the
proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of Administrative Agent
Professionals selected by Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, Administrative Agent may rely upon any Notice of Borrowing, LC
Request, Notice of Conversion/Continuation or any similar notice or request
believed by Administrative Agent to be genuine. As to any matters not expressly
provided for by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or
refraining from acting hereunder and thereunder in accordance with the
instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required
Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon Lenders.
13.4. ACTION UPON DEFAULT. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless it has
received written notice from a Lender or any or all Borrowers specifying the
occurrence and nature of such Default or Event of Default. If Administrative
Agent shall receive such a notice of a Default or an Event of Default or shall
otherwise acquire actual knowledge of any Default or Event of Default,
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders in writing and Administrative
Agent shall take such action and assert such rights under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, or shall refrain from taking such action and asserting
such rights, as the Required Lenders shall direct from time to time. If any
Lender shall receive a notice of a Default or an Event of Default or shall
otherwise acquire actual knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, such
Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and the other Lenders in
writing. As provided in SECTION 13.3, Administrative Agent shall not be subject
to any liability by reason of acting or refraining to act pursuant to any
request of the Required Lenders except for its own willful misconduct or gross
negligence in connection with any action taken by it. In no event shall the
Required Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender, direct
Administrative Agent to accelerate and demand payment of the Loans held by one
Lender without accelerating and demanding payment of all other Loans or to
terminate the Commitments of one or more Lenders without terminating the
Commitments of all Lenders. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise
provided in any of the Loan Documents or with the written consent of
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, it will not take any legal action
or institute any action or proceeding against any Obligor with respect to any of
the Obligations or Collateral or accelerate or otherwise enforce its portion of
the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of
Lenders may exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law
to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar sales or
dispositions of any of the Collateral except as authorized by Administrative
Agent and the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this SECTION 13.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, each Lender shall be
authorized
-96-
to take such action to preserve or enforce its rights against any Obligor where
a deadline or limitation period is otherwise applicable and would, absent the
taking of specified action, bar the enforcement of Obligations held by such
Lender against such Obligor, including the filing of proofs of claim in any
Insolvency Proceeding.
13.5. RATABLE SHARING. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction
(including any amounts received as adequate protection of a bank account deposit
treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code) of any Obligation of
Borrowers (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of
set-off or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata share of payments or reductions
on account of such Obligations obtained by all of the Lenders, such Lender shall
forthwith (i) notify the other Lenders and Administrative Agent of such receipt
and (ii) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the affected
Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the
excess payment or reduction, net of costs incurred in connection therewith, on a
Pro Rata basis, provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or
reduction is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender or additional
costs are incurred, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery or such additional costs, but without
interest. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation
from another Lender pursuant to this SECTION 13.5 may, to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including
the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such
participation.
13.6. INDEMNIFICATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT INDEMNITEES.
13.6.1. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and defend the Administrative
Agent Indemnitees (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers, but without
limiting the indemnification obligations of Obligors under any of the Loan
Documents), on a Pro Rata basis, and to hold each of the Administrative Agent
Indemnitees harmless from and against, any and all Claims which may be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against any of the Administrative Agent Indemnitees
in any way related to or arising out of any of the Loan Documents or referred to
herein or therein or the transactions contemplated thereby (including the costs
and expenses which Borrowers are obligated to pay under SECTION 15.2 or amounts
Administrative Agent may be called upon to pay in connection with any lockbox or
Dominion Account arrangement contemplated hereby or under any indemnity,
guaranty or other assurance of payment or performance given by Administrative
Agent pursuant to SECTION 3.4.2 or the enforcement of any of the terms of any
Loan Documents).
13.6.2. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of
this SECTION 13.6, if Administrative Agent should be sued by any receiver,
trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession or other Person on account of any
alleged preference or fraudulent transfer received or alleged to have been
received from any Borrower or any other Obligor as the result of any transaction
under the Loan Documents, then in such event any monies paid by Administrative
Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such suit, together with all
Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in the defense of same,
shall be promptly reimbursed to Administrative Agent by Lenders to the extent of
each Lender's Pro Rata share.
13.6.3. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of
this SECTION 13.6, if at any time (whether prior to or after the Commitment
Termination Date) any action or proceeding shall be brought against any of the
Administrative Agent Indemnitees by an Obligor or by any other Person claiming
by, through or under an Obligor, to recover damages for any act taken or omitted
by Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents or in the performance of
any rights, powers or remedies of Administrative Agent against any Obligor, any
Account Debtor, the Collateral or with respect to any Loans, or to obtain any
other relief of any kind on account of any transaction involving any
Administrative Agent Indemnitees under or in relation to any of the Loan
Documents, each Lender agrees
-97-
to indemnify, defend and hold the Administrative Agent Indemnitees harmless with
respect thereto and to pay to the Administrative Agent Indemnitees such Lender's
Pro Rata share of such amount as any of the Administrative Agent Indemnitees
shall be required to pay by reason of a judgment, decree, or other order entered
in such action or proceeding or by reason of any compromise or settlement agreed
to by the Administrative Agent Indemnitees, including all interest and costs
assessed against any of the Administrative Agent Indemnitees in defending or
compromising such action, together with attorneys' fees and other legal expenses
paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent Indemnitees in connection
therewith; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to any
Administrative Agent Indemnitee for any of the foregoing to the extent that they
arise solely from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such
Administrative Agent Indemnitee. In Administrative Agent's discretion,
Administrative Agent may also reserve for or satisfy any such judgment, decree
or order from proceeds of Collateral prior to any distributions therefrom to or
for the account of Lenders.
13.7. LIMITATION ON RESPONSIBILITIES OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or
refusing to act hereunder unless it shall have received further assurances to
its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under SECTION
13.6 against any and all Indemnified Claims which may be incurred by
Administrative Agent by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
Administrative Agent shall not be liable to Lenders for any action taken or
omitted to be taken under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents except as a result and to the extent of losses caused by the
Administrative Agent's actual gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Administrative Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay
in performance or breach by any Obligor or any Lender of its obligations under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent does not
make to Lenders, and no Lender makes to Administrative Agent or the other
Lenders, any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee with
respect to the Obligations, the Collateral, the Loan Documents or any Obligor.
Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees,
attorneys or agents shall be responsible to Lenders, and no Lender nor any of
its agents, attorneys or employees shall be responsible to Administrative Agent
or the other Lenders, for: (i) any recitals, statements, information,
representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or in any
certificate or other document furnished pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) the
execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any of the
Loan Documents; (iii) the genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value,
sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent,
perfection or priority of any Lien therein; (iv) the validity, enforceability or
collectibility of any the Obligations; or (v) the assets, liabilities, financial
condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of
any Obligor or any Account Debtor. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents shall have any obligation to
any Lender to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of
Default, the observance or performance by any Obligor of any of the duties or
agreements of such Obligor under any of the Loan Documents or the satisfaction
of any conditions precedent contained in any of the Loan Documents.
Administrative Agent may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and
other experts and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in
any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts.
13.8. SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND CO-AGENTS.
13.8.1. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Administrative Agent as provided below, Administrative Agent may resign at any
time by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof to each Lender and
Borrowers. Upon receipt of any notice of such resignation, the Required Lenders,
after prior consultation with (but without having to obtain consent of) each
Lender, shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which
shall be (i) a Lender, (ii) a United States based affiliate of a Lender, or
(iii) a commercial bank that is organized under the laws of the United States or
of any State thereof and has a combined capital surplus of at least $200,000,000
and, provided no
-98-
Default or Event of Default then exists, is reasonably acceptable to Borrowers
(and for purposes hereof, any successor to BofA shall be deemed acceptable to
Borrowers). If no successor Administrative Agent is appointed prior to the
effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent, then Administrative
Agent may appoint, after consultation with Lenders and Borrower Agent, a
successor agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance by a successor
Administrative Agent of an appointment to serve as an Administrative Agent
hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent without further act, deed or conveyance, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder but shall continue to enjoy the benefits of the indemnification set
forth in SECTIONS 13.6 and 15.2. After any retiring Administrative Agent's
resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this SECTION 13
(including the provisions of SECTION 13.6) shall continue in effect for its
benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was acting as Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, any successor by merger or acquisition of the stock
or assets of BofA shall continue to be Administrative Agent hereunder without
further act on the part of the parties hereto unless such successor shall resign
in accordance with the provisions hereof.
13.8.2. It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no
violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial
institutions to transact business as agent or otherwise in any jurisdiction. In
case of litigation under any of the Loan Documents, or in case Administrative
Agent deems that by reason of present or future laws of any jurisdiction
Administrative Agent might be prohibited from exercising any of the powers,
rights or remedies granted to Administrative Agent or Lenders hereunder or under
any of the Loan Documents or from holding title to or a Lien upon any Collateral
or from taking any other action which may be necessary hereunder or under any of
the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent may appoint an additional Person as a
separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent which is not so prohibited from
taking any of such actions or exercising any of such powers, rights or remedies.
If Administrative Agent shall appoint an additional Person as a separate
collateral agent or co-collateral agent as provided above, each and every
remedy, power, right, claim, demand or cause of action intended by any of the
Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to Administrative
Agent with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vested in such separate
collateral agent or co-collateral agent, but only to the extent necessary to
enable such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent to exercise such
powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the
exercise thereof by such separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall
run to and be enforceable by either of them. Should any instrument from Lenders
be required by the separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent so appointed
by Administrative Agent in order more fully and certainly to vest in and confirm
to him or it such rights, powers, duties and obligations, any and all of such
instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by
Lenders whether or not a Default or Event of Default then exists. In case any
separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent, or a successor to either,
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates,
properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of such separate collateral
agent or co-collateral agent, so far as permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest
in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new
collateral agent or successor to such separate collateral agent or co-collateral
agent.
13.9. CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS ; OUT-OF-FORMULA LOANS.
13.9.1. No amendment or modification of any provision of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, nor any waiver of any Default or
Event of Default, shall be effective without the prior written agreement or
consent of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that
(i) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, no
amendment or waiver shall be effective with respect to any provision in any of
the Loan Documents (including
-99-
SECTION 3.4 and this SECTION 13) to the extent such provision relates to the
rights, duties, immunities, exculpation, indemnification or discretion of
Administrative Agent;
(ii) without the prior written consent of Issuing Bank, no amendment
or waiver with respect to any of the LC Obligations or the provisions of
Sections 2.3, 4.1.3 or 11.2.6 shall be effective;
(iii) without the prior written consent of each affected Lender, no
amendment or waiver shall be effective that would (1) increase or otherwise
modify any Commitment of such Lender (other than to reduce such Lender's
Commitment on a proportionate basis with the same Commitments of other Lenders);
(2) alter (other than to increase) the rate of interest payable in respect of
any Obligations owed to such Lender; (3) waive or defer collection of any
interest or fee payable to such Lender pursuant to SECTION 3; or (4) subordinate
the payment of any Obligations owed to such Lender to the payment of any Debt
(except as expressly provided in SECTION 5.6.1); and
(iv) without the prior written consent of all Lenders, no amendment or
waiver shall be effective that would (1) waive any Default or Event of Default
if the Default or Event of Default relates to any Borrower's failure to observe
or perform any covenant that may not be amended without the unanimous written
consent of Lenders (and, where so provided hereinafter, the written consent of
Administrative Agent) as hereinafter set forth; (2) alter the provisions of
SECTIONS 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 5.6, 5.7, 7.1 (except to add to the categories of
Property of Borrowers constituting Collateral), 13.9, 15.2, 15.3, 15.4 or 15.16;
(3) amend the definitions of "Pro Rata" or "Required Lenders" (and the other
defined terms used in such definitions), or any provision of this Agreement
obligating Administrative Agent to take certain actions at the direction of the
Required Lenders, or any provision of any of the Loan Documents regarding the
Pro Rata treatment or obligations of Lenders; or (4) subordinate the priority of
any Liens granted to Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents to
consensual, non-statutory Liens granted after the Restatement Effective Date to
any other Person, except as currently provided in or contemplated by the Loan
Documents (including a subordination in favor of the holders of Permitted Liens
that are permitted to have priority over Administrative Agent's Liens) and
except for Liens granted by an Obligor to financial institutions with respect to
amounts on deposit with such financial institutions to cover returned items,
processing and analysis charges and other charges in the Ordinary Course of
Business that relate to deposit accounts with such financial institutions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent or agreement of Borrowers
shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of any amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement that deals solely with the rights and duties of
Lenders and Administrative Agent as among themselves, including SECTIONS 5.6.1
and 15. The making of any Loans hereunder by any Lender during the existence of
a Default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of such
Default or Event of Default. Any waiver or consent granted by Lenders hereunder
shall be effective only if in writing and then only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose for which it was given.
13.9.2. No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be
paid any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of supplemental or
additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a
Lender hereunder) as consideration for or as an inducement to the consent to or
agreement by such Lender with any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and
provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the extent
that the agreement of all Lenders to any such waiver or amendment is required,
unless such remuneration or thing of value is concurrently paid, on the same
terms, on a Pro Rata or other mutually agreed upon basis to all Lenders;
provided, however, that Borrowers may contract to pay a fee only to those
Lenders who actually vote in writing to approve any waiver or amendment of the
terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the
extent that such waiver or amendment may be implemented by vote of the Required
Lenders and such waiver or amendment is in fact approved.
-100-
13.9.3. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the
time of making such request or giving such a authority or consent, is a Lender,
shall be conclusive and binding upon any Transferee of such Lender.
13.9.4. Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Required Lenders,
Administrative Agent may require Lenders to honor requests by Borrowers for
Out-of-Formula Loans (in which event, and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in SECTION 2.1.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Lenders
shall continue to make Revolver Loans up to their Pro Rata share of the
Commitments) and to forbear from requiring Borrowers to cure an Out-of-Formula
Condition, (1) when no Event of Default exists (or if an Event of Default
exists, when the existence of such Event of Default is not known by
Administrative Agent), if and for so long as (i) such Out-of-Formula Condition
does not continue for a period of more than 14 consecutive days, following which
no Out-of-Formula Condition exists for at least 60 consecutive days before
another Out-of-Formula Condition exists, (ii) the amount of the Revolver Loans
outstanding at any time does not exceed the aggregate of the Commitments at such
time, and (iii) the Out-of-Formula Condition is not known by Administrative
Agent at the time in question to exceed $2,500,000; and (2) regardless of
whether or not an Event of Default exists, if Administrative Agent discovers the
existence of an Out-of-Formula Condition not previously known by it to exist,
but Lenders shall be obligated to continue making such Revolver Loans as
directed by Administrative Agent only (A) if the amount of the Out-of-Formula
Condition is not increased by more than $500,000 above the amount determined by
Administrative Agent to exist on the date of discovery thereof and (B) for a
period not to exceed 30 Business Days. In no event shall any Borrower or any
other Obligor be deemed to be a beneficiary of this SECTION 13.9.4 or authorized
to enforce any of the provisions of this SECTION 13.9.4.
13.10. DUE DILIGENCE AND NON-RELIANCE. Each Lender hereby acknowledges and
represents that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative
Agent or the other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and
analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each
Obligor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund the Loans
to be made by it hereunder and to purchase participations in the LC Obligations
pursuant to SECTION 2.3.2, and each Lender has made such inquiries concerning
the Loan Documents, the Collateral and each Obligor as such Lender feels
necessary and appropriate, and has taken such care on its own behalf as would
have been the case had it entered into the other Loan Documents without the
intervention or participation of the other Lenders or Administrative Agent. Each
Lender hereby further acknowledges and represents that the other Lenders and
Administrative Agent have not made any representations or warranties to it
concerning any Obligor, any of the Collateral or the legality, validity,
sufficiency or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents. Each Lender also
hereby acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
other Lenders or Administrative Agent, and based upon such financial statements,
documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make
and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and in taking or
refraining to take any other action under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly
required to be furnished to Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder,
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Administrative
Agent by any Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs,
financial condition, business or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its
Affiliates) which may come into possession of Administrative Agent or any of
Administrative Agent's Affiliates.
13.11. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF LENDERS. Each Lender represents
and warrants to each Borrower, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders that
it has the power to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and that it has taken all necessary and
appropriate action to authorize its execution and performance of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, each of which will be
binding upon it and the obligations
-101-
imposed upon it herein or therein will be enforceable against it in accordance
with the respective terms of such documents; and none of the consideration used
by it to make or fund its Loans or to participate in any other transactions
under this Agreement constitutes for any purpose of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Internal Revenue Code assets of any "plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code and the rights and interests of
such Lender in and under the Loan Documents shall not constitute plan assets
under ERISA.
13.12. THE REQUIRED LENDERS. As to any provisions of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents under which action may or is required to be taken upon
direction or approval of the Required Lenders, the direction or approval of the
Required Lenders shall be binding upon each Lender to the same extent and with
the same effect as if each Lender joined therein. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrowers shall not be deemed to be a
beneficiary of, or be entitled to enforce, xxx upon or assert as a defense to
any of the Obligations, any provisions of this Agreement that requires
Administrative Agent or any Lender to act, or conditions their authority to act,
upon the direction or consent of the Required Lenders; and any action taken by
Administrative Agent or any Lender that requires the consent or direction of the
Required Lenders as a condition to taking such action shall, insofar as
Borrowers are concerned, be presumed to have been taken with the requisite
consent or direction of the Required Lenders.
13.13. SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. The obligations and Commitment of each Lender
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are several and neither
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the performance by
the other Lenders of its obligations or Commitment hereunder or thereunder.
Notwithstanding any liability of Lenders stated to be joint and several to third
Persons under any of the Loan Documents, such liability shall be shared, as
among Lenders, Pro Rata.
13.14. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. With respect to its
obligation to lend under this Agreement, the Loans made by it and each Note
issued to it, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as any other Lender or holder of a
Note and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties
specified herein; and the terms "Lenders," "Required Lenders," or any similar
term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include
Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender. Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances
for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as
financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any
Borrower or any other Obligor, or any Affiliate of any Borrower or any other
Obligor, as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor
(or for any fees or other consideration received in connection therewith) to the
other Lenders. BofA or its affiliates may receive information regarding any
Borrower or any of such Borrower's Affiliates and account debtors (including
information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of
Borrowers or any of their Affiliates) and Lenders acknowledge that neither
Administrative Agent nor BofA shall be under any obligation to provide such
information to Lenders to the extent acquired by BofA in its individual capacity
and not as Administrative Agent hereunder.
13.15. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This SECTION 13 is not intended to
confer any rights or benefits upon Borrowers or any other Person except Lenders
and Administrative Agent, and no Person (including any Borrower) other than
Lenders and Administrative Agent shall have any right to enforce any of the
provisions of this SECTION 13 except as expressly provided in SECTION 13.17. As
between Borrowers and Administrative Agent, any action that Administrative Agent
may take or purport to take on behalf of Lenders under any of the Loan Documents
shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and approved by Lenders
as herein provided.
-102-
13.16. NOTICE OF TRANSFER. Administrative Agent may deem and treat a Lender
party to this Agreement as the owner of such Lender's portion of the Revolver
Loans for all purposes, unless and until a written notice of the assignment or
transfer thereof executed by such Lender has been received by Administrative
Agent.
13.17. REPLACEMENT OF CERTAIN LENDERS. If a Lender ("Affected Lender")
shall have (i) failed to fund its Pro Rata share of any Loan requested (or
deemed requested) by Borrowers which such Lender is obligated to fund under the
terms of this Agreement and which such failure has not been cured, (ii)
requested compensation from Borrowers under SECTION 3.7 to recover increased
costs incurred by such Lender (or its parent or holding company) which are not
being incurred generally by the other Lenders (or their respective parents or
holding companies), (iii) delivered a notice pursuant to SECTION 3.6 claiming
that such Lender is unable to extend LIBOR Loans to Borrowers for reasons not
generally applicable to the other Lenders, (iv) defaulted in paying or
performing any of its obligations to Administrative Agent, or (v) failed or
refused to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent
of all of the Lenders is required and in respect of which the Required Lenders
have consented, then, in any such case and in addition to any other rights and
remedies that Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any Borrower may have
against such Affected Lender, any Borrower or Administrative Agent may make
written demand on such Affected Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent in
the case of a demand by Borrowers and a copy to Borrowers in the case of a
demand by Administrative Agent) for the Affected Lender to assign, and such
Affected Lender shall assign pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignment
and Acceptances within 5 Business Days after the date of such demand, to one or
more Lenders willing to accept such assignment or assignments, or to one or more
Eligible Assignees designated by Administrative Agent, all of such Affected
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment
and all Loans owing to it) in accordance with SECTION 14. Administrative Agent
is hereby irrevocably authorized to execute one or more Assignment and
Acceptances as attorney-in-fact for any Affected Lender which fails or refuses
to execute and deliver the same within 5 Business Days after the date of such
demand. The Affected Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash and
concurrently with execution and delivery of each such Assignment and Acceptance,
all amounts owed to the Affected Lender hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, including the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans owed
to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of such
assignment (but excluding any prepayment penalty or termination charge. Upon the
replacement of any Affected Lender pursuant to this SECTION 13.17, such Affected
Lender shall cease to have any participation in, entitlement to, or other right
to share in the Liens of Administrative Agent in any Collateral and such
Affected Lender shall have no further liability to Administrative Agent, any
Lender or any other Person under any of the Loan Documents (except as provided
in SECTION 13.6 as to events or transactions which occur prior to the
replacement of such Affected Lender), including any commitment to make Loans or
purchase participations in LC Obligations. Administrative Agent shall have the
right at any time, but shall not be obligated to, upon written notice to any
Lender and with the consent of such Lender (which may be granted or withheld in
such Lender's discretion), to purchase for Administrative Agent's own account
all of such Lender's right, title and interest in and to this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents and the Obligations (together with such Lender's interest
in the Commitments), for the face amount of the Obligations owed to such Lender
(or such greater or lesser amount as Administrative Agent and Lender may
mutually agree upon).
13.18. REMITTANCE OF PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS.
13.18.1. All payments by any Lender to Administrative Agent shall be
made not later than the time set forth elsewhere in this Agreement on the
Business Day such payment is due; provided, however, that if such payment is due
ON DEMAND by Administrative Agent and such demand is made on the paying Lender
after 11:00 a.m. on such Business Day, then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m.
on the next Business Day. Payment by Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be
made by wire transfer,
-103-
promptly following Administrative Agent's receipt of funds for the account of
such Lender and in the type of funds received by Administrative Agent; provided,
however, that if Administrative Agent receives such funds at or prior to 12:00
noon, Administrative Agent shall pay such funds to such Lender by 2:00 p.m. on
such Business Day, but if Administrative Agent receives such funds after 12:00
noon, Administrative Agent shall pay such funds to such Lender by 2:00 p.m. on
the next Business Day.
13.18.2. With respect to the payment of any funds from Administrative
Agent to a Lender or from a Lender to Administrative Agent, the party failing to
make full payment when due pursuant to the terms hereof shall, ON DEMAND by the
other party, pay such amount together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Rate. In no event shall Borrowers be entitled to receive any credit for any
interest paid by Administrative Agent to any Lender, or by any Lender to
Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate as provided herein.
13.18.3. If Administrative Agent pays any amount to a Lender in the
belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by
Administrative Agent from an Obligor and such related payment is not received by
Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover
such amount from each Lender that receives such amount. If Administrative Agent
determines at any time that any amount received by it under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents must be returned to an Obligor or paid to any
other Person pursuant to any Applicable Law, court order or otherwise, then,
notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall not be required to distribute
such amount to any Lender.
SECTION 14. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS
14.1. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lenders and their
respective successors and assigns (which, in the case of Administrative Agent,
shall include any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to SECTION
13.8), except that (i) no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or
delegate performance of any of its obligations under any of the Loan Documents
and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with SECTION
14.3. Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or holds any
Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person
complies with SECTION 14.3 in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case
of any other transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with
Administrative Agent. Any assignee or transferee of any rights with respect to
any Note or Loan agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms and
provisions of the Loan Documents. 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 a 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.
14.2. PARTICIPATIONS.
14.2.1. Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the
ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any
time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a
"Participant") a participating interest in any of the Obligations owing to such
Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under
any of the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of
participating interests to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under the
Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,
such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and Commitments for all
purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by Borrowers under this
Agreement and any of the Notes shall be determined as if such Lender
-104-
had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Administrative
Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. If a Lender
sells a participation to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Lender, then
such Lender shall give prompt written notice thereof to Borrowers and the other
Lenders. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall
not be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 5.9 unless Borrowers are notified of
the participation sold to Participant and such Participant agrees, for the
benefit of Borrowers, to comply with SECTION 5.10 as though such Participant
were a Lender.
14.2.2. Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to
approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than an amendment,
modification or waiver with respect to any Loans or Commitment in which such
Participant has an interest which forgives principal, interest or fees or
reduces the stated interest rate or the stated rates at which fees are payable
with respect to any such Loan or Commitment, postpones the Commitment
Termination Date, or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of
interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or releases from liability any
Borrower or any Guarantor or releases any substantial portion of any of the
Collateral.
14.2.3. Benefit of Set-Off. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant
shall be deemed to have the right of set-off provided in SECTION 12.4 in respect
of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the
same extent and subject to the same requirements under this Agreement (including
SECTION 13.5) as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly
to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall
retain the right of set-off provided in SECTION 12.4 with respect to the amount
of participating interests sold to each Participant. Lenders agree to share with
each Participant, and each Participant by exercising the right of set-off
provided in SECTION 12.4 agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received
pursuant to the exercise of its right of set-off, such amounts to be shared in
accordance with SECTION 13.5 as if each Participant were a Lender. This SECTION
14.2.3 is subject to the limitations set forth in the last sentence of SECTION
12.4.
14.2.4. Notices. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying
its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent
that any such notice may be required, and neither Administrative Agent nor any
other Lender shall have any obligation, duty or liability to any Participant of
any other Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to give notices or
to provide documents or information to a Participant of another Lender.
14.3. ASSIGNMENTS.
14.3.1. Permitted Assignments. Subject to its compliance with SECTION
14.3.2, a Lender may, in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time assign to
any Eligible Assignee all or any part of its rights and obligations under the
Loan Documents, so long as (i) each assignment is of a constant, and not a
varying, ratable percentage of all of the transferor Lender's rights and
obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to the Loans and the LC
Obligations and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal
amount of $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent in its
discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; (ii)
except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender's rights and
obligations under the Loan Documents or an assignment by one original signatory
to this Agreement to another such signatory, immediately after giving effect to
any assignment, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the
transferor Lender shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 (unless otherwise
agreed by Administrative Agent in its discretion); and (iii) the parties to each
such assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for its
acceptance and
-105-
recording, an Assignment and Acceptance. Nothing contained herein shall limit in
any way the right of a Lender to pledge or assign all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement or with respect to any of the Obligations to (x) any
Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security
pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any Operating Circular
issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, provided that, in each case, no such pledge
or assignment of a security interest shall release any Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for any Lender
as a party hereto, (y) direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap
agreements relating to the Loans, provided that any payment by Borrowers to the
assigning Lender in respect of any assigned Obligations in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement shall satisfy Borrowers' obligations hereunder in
respect of such assigned Obligations to the extent of such payment, and no such
assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
14.3.2. Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to Administrative
Agent of a notice of assignment substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT H
hereto, together with any consents required by SECTION 14.3.1, and (ii) the
recordation of the assignment on the Register and (iii) payment of a $1,500 fee
to the Administrative Agent for processing any assignment to an Eligible
Assignee that is not an Affiliate of the transferor Lender, such assignment
shall become effective. The Assignment and Acceptance shall contain a
representation and warranty by the Eligible Assignee that the assignment
evidenced thereby will not result in a non-exempt "prohibited transaction" under
Section 406 of ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such
Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and
the other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights
and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if it
were an original party thereto, and no further consent or action by Borrowers,
Lenders or Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor
Lender with respect to the Commitment (or portion thereof) of such Lender and
Obligations assigned to such Eligible Assignee. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, such Eligible Assignee shall be subject to and bound by all of
the Loan Documents. Upon the consummation of any assignment to an Eligible
Assignee pursuant to this SECTION 14.3, the transferor Lender, Administrative
Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement
Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate,
replacement Notes, are issued to such Eligible Assignee, in each case in
principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant
to such assignment. If the transferor Lender shall have assigned all of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to SECTION
14.3.1, then (i) such transferor Lender shall no longer have any obligation to
indemnify Administrative Agent with respect to any transactions, events or
occurrences that transpire after the effective date of such assignment, (ii)
each Eligible Assignee to which such transferor Lender shall make an assignment
shall be responsible to Administrative Agent to indemnify Administrative Agent
in accordance with this Agreement with respect to transactions, events and
occurrences transpiring on and after the effective date of such assignment to
it, and (iii) the transferor Lender shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of those provisions of the Loan Documents (including indemnities from
Obligors) that survive Full Payment of the Obligations.
14.3.3. Dissemination of Information. Each Borrower authorizes each
Lender and Administrative Agent to disclose to any Participant, any Eligible
Assignee or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by
operation of law (each a "Transferee"), and any prospective Transferee, any and
all information in Administrative Agent's or such Lender's possession concerning
each Borrower, the Subsidiaries of each Borrower or the Collateral, subject to
appropriate confidentiality undertakings on the part of such Transferee.
14.4. TAX TREATMENT. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to
any Transferee that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such
Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with
the provisions of SECTION 5.9.3.
-106-
SECTION 15. MISCELLANEOUS
15.1. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates,
makes, constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent (and all Persons designated
by Administrative Agent) as such Borrower's true and lawful attorney (and agent
in-fact) and Administrative Agent, or Administrative Agent's designee, may,
without notice to such Borrower and in either such Borrower's or Administrative
Agent's name, but at the cost and expense of Borrowers:
15.1.1. At such time or times as Administrative Agent or said
designee, in its discretion, may determine during the continuance of Restrictive
Trigger Event, endorse such Borrower's name on any Payment Item or other
proceeds of the Collateral (including proceeds of insurance) which come into the
possession of Administrative Agent or under Administrative Agent's control.
15.1.2. At any time that an Event of Default exists and subject to
Applicable Law: (i) demand payment of the Accounts from the Account Debtors,
enforce payment of the Accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, and generally
exercise all of such Borrower's rights and remedies with respect to the
collection of the Accounts; (ii) settle, adjust, compromise, discharge or
release any of the Accounts or other Collateral or any legal proceedings brought
to collect any of the Accounts or other Collateral; (iii) sell or assign any of
the Accounts and other Collateral upon such terms, for such amounts and at such
time or times as Administrative Agent deems advisable; (iv) prepare, file and
sign such Borrower's name to a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document
against any Account Debtor or to any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction
of Lien or similar document in connection with any of the Collateral; (v)
receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Borrower and to notify
postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as
Administrative Agent may designate; (vi) endorse the name of such Borrower upon
any Payment Item relating to any Collateral and deposit the same to the account
of Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations; (vii) endorse the
name of such Borrower upon any Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument, invoice,
freight xxxx, xxxx of lading or similar document or agreement relating to any
Accounts or Inventory of any Obligor and any other Collateral; (viii) use such
Borrower's stationery and sign the name of such Borrower to verifications of the
Accounts and notices thereof to Account Debtors; (ix) use the information
recorded on or contained in any data processing equipment and computer hardware
and software relating to any Collateral; (x) make and adjust claims under
policies of insurance; (xi) sign the name of such Borrower to and file any proof
of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding of any Account Debtor and on notices of
Liens; (xii) take all action as may be necessary to obtain the payment of any
letter of credit or banker's acceptance of which such Borrower is a beneficiary;
and (xiii) do all other acts and things necessary, in Administrative Agent's
determination, to fulfill such Borrower's obligations under any of the Loan
Documents.
15.2. GENERAL INDEMNITY. Whether or not any of the transactions
contemplated by any of the Loan Documents are consummated, each Borrower agrees
to indemnify and defend the Indemnitees and hold the Indemnitees harmless from
and against any Claims that may be instituted or asserted against or are
incurred by any of the Indemnitees. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any Claims instituted or asserted
against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees (x) under any Environmental Laws
or (other similar laws by reason of a Borrower's or any other Person's failure
to comply with laws applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials or other
toxic substances) or (y) under any Anti-Terrorism Laws, including any fines
assessed against Administrative Agent or any Lender by any Governmental
Authority as a result of conduct of an Obligor. Additionally, if any Taxes
(excluding Excluded Taxes but including any intangibles tax, stamp tax or
recording tax) shall be payable by any party on account of the execution or
delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of
any of the other Loan Documents, or the creation or repayment of any of the
Obligations hereunder, by reason of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in
effect, Borrowers shall pay (and shall promptly reimburse Administrative Agent
and Lenders for their payment of) all such Taxes, including
-107-
any interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold Indemnitees
harmless from and against all liability in connection therewith.
15.3. SURVIVAL OF AND LIMITATIONS UPON INDEMNITIES. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
the obligation of each Borrower and each Lender with respect to each indemnity
given by it in this Agreement shall survive the Full Payment of the Obligations,
the termination of any of the Commitments and the resignation of Administrative
Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no
Borrower shall have any obligation under this Agreement to indemnify an
Indemnitee with respect to any Claim to the extent that it is determined in a
final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such
Claim resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee.
15.4. RESERVED.
15.5. SEVERABILITY. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or
invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
15.6. CUMULATIVE EFFECT; CONFLICT OF TERMS. The provisions of the Other
Agreements and the Security Documents are hereby made cumulative with the
provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the parties acknowledge that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may use
several different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or
similar matters and that such limitations, tests and measures are cumulative and
each must be performed, except as may be expressly stated to the contrary in
this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in any of the other Loan Documents
by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement, if any
provision contained in this Agreement is in direct conflict with, or
inconsistent with, any provision in any of the other Loan Documents, the
provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.
15.7. COUNTERPARTS; FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. This Agreement and any amendments
hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered
shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts taken together
shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Loan Documents may be executed
by facsimile and the effectiveness of any such Loan Documents and signatures
thereon shall, subject to Applicable Law, have the same force and effect as
manually signed originals and shall be binding on all parties thereto.
Administrative Agent may require that any such documents and signatures be
confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof, provided that the failure to
request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile
signature.
15.8. CONSENT. Whenever the consent of Administrative Agent or Lenders (or
any combination of Lenders) 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, each party whose consent is required shall be authorized to
give or withhold its consent in its discretion and to condition its consent upon
the giving of additional collateral security for the Obligations, the payment of
money or any other matter.
15.9. NOTICES AND COMMUNICATIONS.
15.9.1. Except as otherwise provided in SECTION 4.1.5, all notices,
requests and other communications to or upon a party hereto shall be in writing
(including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such
party at the address or facsimile number for such party on the
-108-
signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after
the date hereof, at the address shown on the applicable Assignment and
Acceptance by which such Person became a Lender) or at such other address or
facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice
to Administrative Agent and Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this
SECTION 15.9.
15.9.2. Except as otherwise provided in SECTION 4.1.5, each such
notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by
facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the facsimile number specified
herein for the noticed party and confirmation of receipt is received, (ii) if
given by mail, 3 Business Days after such communication is deposited in the U.S.
Mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the noticed party at the
address specified herein, or (iii) if given by personal delivery, when duly
delivered with receipt acknowledged in writing by the noticed party. In no event
shall a voicemail message be effective as a notice, communication or
confirmation under any of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
notice to or upon Administrative Agent or BofA pursuant to SECTIONS 2.3, 3.1.2,
4.1 or 6.2.2 shall be effective until after actually received by Administrative
Agent. Any written notice, request or demand that is not sent in conformity with
the provisions hereof shall nevertheless be effective on the date that such
notice, request or demand is actually received by the individual to whose
attention at the noticed party such notice, request or demand is required to be
sent. Any notice received by Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have been
received by all Borrowers.
15.9.3. Electronic mail and intranet websites may be used only to
distribute routine communications, such as financial statements, Borrowing Base
Certificates and other information required by SECTION 8 and SECTION 10.1.3, and
to distribute Loan Documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may not
be used for any other purpose as effective notice under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents.
Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be authorized to rely and act upon any
notices (including telephonic communications) purportedly given by or on behalf
of any Borrower even if such notices were made in a manner other than as
specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other
form of notice specified or required herein, or the terms thereof, as understood
by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrowers jointly and
severally agree to indemnify and defend each Indemnitee from all losses, costs,
expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by any such Indemnitee on
each telephone communication purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower
other than to the extent constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Indemnitee.
15.10. PERFORMANCE OF BORROWERS' OBLIGATIONS. If any Borrower shall fail to
discharge any covenant, duty or obligation hereunder or under any of the other

Agreements and the Security Documents.
15.13. INDULGENCES NOT WAIVERS. Administrative Agent's or any Lender's

demand of any regulatory agency or other Governmental Authority having
jurisdiction over Administrative Agent or such Lender or in accordance with

Affiliates may be a party, (vi) to the extent reasonably required in connection
with the exercise of any remedies hereunder, (vii) to any actual or proposed

recognized rating agency that requires access to information about Lender's
portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, or (ix)
with the consent of Borrowers. As used in this SECTION 15.17, "Information"
means all information received from the Obligors relating to an Obligor or any

an Obligor.
15.18. CERTIFICATIONS REGARDING INDENTURES. Each Borrower hereby certifies
to Administrative Agent and Lenders that neither the execution or performance of
this Agreement by Borrowers nor the incurrence of any Debt pursuant to the terms

of the Indentures, including (i) Section 4.09 of the Senior Subordinated Note
Indenture, or (ii) Sections 4.09 or 4.12 of the Senior Note Indenture. Each

Indentures, that all Loans collectively constitute "Senior Bank Debt" under the
Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture and "Permitted Indebtedness" under the
"Credit Agreement" and that the Liens of Administrative Agent hereunder are
permitted under each of the Indentures.
15.20. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement has been negotiated, executed and
delivered, and shall be deemed to have been made, in New York, New York, and
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (but
without regard to conflict of law principles) of the State of New York, but
giving effect to federal laws relating to national banks.

and demands in respect of any such action, suit or proceeding may be heard and
determined in any such court and irrevocably waives any objection it may now or
hereafter have as to the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding brought in
any such court or that such court is an inconvenient forum. Nothing herein shall

FORM OF REVOLVER NOTE
September __, 2005
U.S. $30,000,000.00 New York, New York
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, INSIGHT HEALTH SERVICES CORP., a
Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Borrower Agent"), and those
subsidiaries of Borrower Agent listed on the signature pages hereto (Borrower
Agent and each of its subsidiaries listed on the signature pages hereto, being
referred to collectively herein as "Borrowers," and individually as a
"Borrower"), hereby unconditionally, and jointly and severally, promise to pay
to the order of _____________________ (herein, together with any subsequent
holder hereof, called the "Holder") the principal sum of $30,000,000 or such
lesser sum as may constitute Holder's Pro Rata share of the outstanding
principal amount of all Revolver Loans pursuant to the terms of the Loan
Agreement (as defined below) on the date on which such outstanding principal
amounts become due and payable pursuant to SECTION 5.2 of the Loan Agreement, in
strict accordance with the terms thereof. Borrowers likewise unconditionally,
and jointly and severally, promise to pay to Holder interest from and after the
date hereof on the Holder's Pro Rata share of the outstanding principal amount
of Revolver Loans at such interest rates, payable at such times, and computed in
such manner as are specified in SECTION 3.1 of the Loan Agreement, in strict
accordance with the terms thereof.
This Revolver Note ("Note") is issued pursuant to, and is one of the
"Revolver Notes" referred to in, the Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement dated September 22, 2005 (as the same may be amended from time to
time, the "Loan Agreement"), among Borrowers, Bank of America, N.A., as
collateral and administrative agent (in such capacity, together with its
successors in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent") for itself and the
financial institutions from time to time parties thereto as lenders ("Lenders"),
and such Lenders, and Holder is and shall be entitled to all benefits thereof
and of all Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection therewith. This
Note is subject to certain restrictions on transfer or assignment as provided in
the Loan Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined
herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
The repayment of the principal balance of this Note is subject to the
provisions of SECTION 5.2 of the Loan Agreement. The entire unpaid principal
balance and all accrued interest on this Note shall be due and payable
immediately upon the termination of the Commitments as set forth in SECTION 6.2
of the Loan Agreement.
All payments of principal and interest shall be made in Dollars in
immediately available funds to Administrative Agent for Holder's benefit as
specified in the Loan Agreement.
Upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as such
Event of Default exists, the principal balance and all accrued interest of this
Note may be declared (or shall become) due and payable in the manner and with
the effect provided in the Loan Agreement, and the unpaid principal balance
hereof shall bear interest at the Default Rate as and when provided in SECTION
3.1.5 of the Loan Agreement. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay, and
save Holder harmless against, any liability for the payment of, all costs and
expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, if this
Note is collected by or through an attorney-at-law.
All principal amounts of Revolver Loans made by Holder to Borrowers
pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon,
shall be deemed outstanding under this Note and
shall continue to be owing by Borrowers until paid in accordance with the terms
of this Note and the Loan Agreement.
In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of
the proceeds hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to
Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of money advanced hereunder exceed
the highest lawful rate permissible under any law which a court of competent
jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto; and, in the event of any such payment
inadvertently paid by Borrowers or inadvertently received by Holder, such excess
sum shall be, at Borrowers' option, returned to Borrowers forthwith or credited
as a payment of principal, but shall not be applied to the payment of interest.
It is the intent hereof that Borrowers not pay or contract to pay, and that
Holder not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner
whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by Borrowers under
Applicable Law.
Time is of the essence of this Note. To the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, each Borrower, for itself and its legal representatives,
successors and assigns, expressly waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of
dishonor, notice of non-payment, notice of maturity, notice of protest,
presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity, diligence in collection,
and the benefit of any exemption or insolvency laws.
Wherever possible each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such
a manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision
of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of this
Note. No delay or failure on the part of Holder in the exercise of any right or
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in
any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Holder of any right or
remedy preclude any other right or remedy. Holder, at its option, may enforce
its rights against any Collateral securing this Note without Administrative
Agent or Holder enforcing its rights against any Borrower, any Guarantor of the
indebtedness evidenced hereby or any other property or indebtedness due or to
become due to any Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that, without releasing or
impairing any Borrower's liability hereunder, Holder or Administrative Agent may
at any time release, surrender, substitute or exchange any Collateral securing
this Note and may at any time release any party primarily or secondarily liable
for the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.
The rights of Holder and obligations of Borrowers hereunder shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws (without giving effect to
the conflict of law principles thereof) of the State of New York. This Note is
intended to take effect as an instrument under seal under New York law.
This Note amends and restates the "Revolving Notes" under (and as defined
in) the Existing Credit Agreement (the "Prior Notes"). Nothing contained herein
is intended to constitute a novation or an accord and satisfaction of the Prior
Notes.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Borrower has caused this Note to be executed under
seal and delivered by its duly authorized officers on the date first above
written.
