and

     WHEREAS, Lender is willing to make the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan

date hereof to the extent the same are used or defined therein. Unless otherwise
specified herein or in Appendix A, any agreement or contract  referred to herein

from time to time. Unless otherwise specified,  as used in the Loan Documents or
in any  certificate,  report,  instrument  or other  document  made or delivered

terms in and shall be interpreted in accordance with GAAP.

                                    -- 31 --

II.      ADVANCES, PAYMENT AND INTEREST

     2.1  The Revolving Facility

     (a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Lender shall make Advances
to  Borrower  under the  Revolving  Facility  from time to time during the Term,
provided  that,  notwithstanding  any other  provision  of this  Agreement,  the
aggregate amount of all Advances at any one time outstanding under the Revolving
Facility  shall  not  exceed  either  of (a)  the  Facility  Cap,  and  (b)  the
Availability;  provided,  that  Lender may, in its  Permitted  Discretion,  make
Advances to Borrower which exceed the Availability (such Advances being referred
to herein as  "Overadvances") by an amount which does not exceed the Overadvance
limit in effect at any time.  Overadvances  shall be treated for all purposes as
Advances  under the  Revolving  Facility and shall be entitled to the benefit of
any and all security and guarantees now or hereinafter  existing with respect to
Advances.  Unless  the  context  otherwise  requires,  all  references  in  this
Agreement,  the Notes and the other Loan Documents to the term "Advances"  shall
also mean and refer to  Overadvances.  The  Revolving  Facility  is a  revolving
credit facility,  which may be drawn,  repaid and redrawn,  from time to time as
permitted  under  this  Agreement.  Any  determination  as to  whether  there is
availability  within the Borrowing  Base for Advances shall be made by Lender in
its sole  discretion  and is final and binding upon Borrower.  Unless  otherwise
permitted  by Lender,  each  Advance  shall be in an amount of at least  $1,000.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may request Advances under
the Revolving  Facility up to and including the value,  in U.S.  Dollars,  in an
amount equal to the Applicable  Advance Rate of the Borrowing  Base,  minus,  if
applicable,  amounts reserved pursuant to this Agreement (such calculated amount
being  referred to herein as the  "Availability").  Advances under the Revolving
Facility  automatically  shall  be  made  for the  payment  of  interest  on the
Revolving  Note  and  other  Obligations  on the  date  when  due to the  extent
available and as provided for herein.

     (b)  Lender  has   established  the   above-referenced   advance  rate  for
Availability  and,  in  its  sole  credit  judgment,   may  further  adjust  the
Availability and such advance rate by applying  percentages (known as "liquidity
factors") to Eligible  Receivables by payor class based upon  Borrower's  actual
recent collection history for each such payor class (i.e.,  Medicare,  Medicaid,
commercial  insurance,  etc.) in a manner consistent with Lender's  underwriting
practices and  procedures,  including  without  limitation  Lender's  review and
analysis  of,  among  other  things,  Borrower's  historical  returns,  rebates,
discounts,  credits and allowances  (collectively,  the "Dilution Items").  Such
liquidity  factors  and the  advance  rate for  Availability  may be adjusted by
Lender throughout the Term as warranted by Lender's  underwriting  practices and
procedures  in its sole credit  judgment.  Also,  Lender shall have the right to
establish from time to time, in its sole credit  judgment,  reserves against the
Borrowing  Base,  which  reserves  shall have the effect of reducing the amounts
otherwise  eligible to be disbursed  to Borrower  under the  Revolving  Facility
pursuant to this Agreement.

     2.2  The Revolving Note; Maturity

     (a) All Advances  under the  Revolving  Facility  (including  Overadvances)
shall be evidenced by the Revolving Note,  payable to the order of Lender,  duly
executed and  delivered by Borrower and dated the Closing Date,  evidencing  the
aggregate  indebtedness of Borrower to Lender  resulting from Advances under the
Revolving Facility,  from time to time. Lender hereby is authorized,  but is not
obligated,  to enter the amount of each Advance under the Revolving Facility and
the amount of each payment or prepayment of principal or interest thereon in the
appropriate  spaces on the reverse of or on an attachment to the Revolving Note.
Lender will  account to  Borrower  at the end of each month with a statement  of
Advances under the Revolving  Facility and charges and payments made pursuant to

                                    -- 32 --

this Agreement,  and in the absence of manifest error, such accounting  rendered
by  Lender  shall be deemed  final,  binding  and  conclusive  unless  Lender is
notified by Borrower in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) calendar days
of Receipt of each accounting, which notice shall be deemed an objection only to
items specifically objected to therein.

     (b) All amounts  outstanding under the Revolving Note and other Obligations
shall be due and  payable  in full,  if not  earlier  in  accordance  with  this
Agreement,  on the  earlier  of (i) the  occurrence  of an Event of  Default  if
required  pursuant hereto or Lender's demand upon an Event of Default,  and (ii)
the last day of the Term  (such  earlier  date  being  the  "Revolving  Facility
Maturity Date"). The Revolving Facility shall be subject to two (2) one (1) year
extensions,  exercisable  by written  notice to Lender no less than  ninety (90)
days prior to the then current Revolving  Facility Maturity Date;  provided that
no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.  In  consideration
for each  extension of the Revolving  Facility  Maturity Date and as a condition
thereof exercised by Borrower,  Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a nonrefundable
extension fee in the amount of $20,000.00.

     2.3  Interest

     Interest on outstanding  Advances under the Revolving Note shall be payable
monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar  month at an annual rate of
Prime Rate plus 2.25%, provided, however, that, notwithstanding any provision of
any Loan Document, the interest on outstanding Advances under the Revolving Note
shall be not less than 6.75%,  in each case calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year and for the  actual  number  of  calendar  days  elapsed  in each  interest
calculation  period.  Interest  accrued on each Advance under the Revolving Note
shall be due and payable on the first day of each calendar  month, in accordance
with the  procedures  provided  for in Section 2.5 and Section  2.9,  commencing
November 1, 2004 and  continuing  until the later of the  expiration of the Term
and  the  full  performance  and  irrevocable  payment  in  full  in cash of the
Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

     2.4  Revolving  Facility  Disbursements;  Requirement to Deliver  Borrowing
          Certificate

     So long as no  Default  or Event of  Default  shall  have  occurred  and be
continuing,  Borrower may give Lender  irrevocable  written notice requesting an
Advance  under the  Revolving  Facility by  delivering  to Lender not later than
11:00  a.m.  (New York City  time) at least one but not more than four  Business
Days  before  the  proposed  borrowing  date  of  such  requested  Advance  (the
"Borrowing  Date"), a completed  Borrowing  Certificate and relevant  supporting
documentation  satisfactory  to Lender,  which shall (i)  specify  the  proposed
Borrowing  Date of such Advance  which shall be a Business Day, (ii) specify the
principal amount of such requested Advance,  (iii) certify the matters contained
in  Section  4.2,  and (iv)  specify  the  amount of any  Medicare  or  Medicaid
recoupments and/or recoupments of any third-party payor being sought,  requested
or  claimed,  or,  to  Borrower's  knowledge,  threatened  against  Borrower  or
Borrower's  Affiliates.  Each time a request for an Advance is made, and, in any
event and  regardless  of whether an Advance is being  requested,  on Tuesday of
each week during the Term (and more frequently if Lender shall so request) until
the  Obligations  are  indefeasibly  paid in cash in full and this  Agreement is
terminated, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Borrowing Certificate accompanied
by (A) a separate  detailed  aging and  categorizing  of Borrower's (i) accounts
receivable and (ii) if requested by Lender,  accounts payable and (B) such other
supporting  documentation  with  respect to the figures and  information  in the
Borrowing  Certificate  as  Lender  shall  reasonably  request  from a credit or
security perspective or otherwise.  On each Borrowing Date, Borrower irrevocably
authorizes  Lender to  disburse  the  proceeds of the  requested  Advance to the
appropriate Borrower's account(s) as set forth on Schedule 2.4, in all cases for

                                    -- 33 --

credit to the  appropriate  Borrower  (or to such other  account as to which the
appropriate  Borrower shall instruct  Lender) via Federal funds wire transfer no
later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time).

     2.5  Revolving Facility Collections;  Repayment; Borrowing Availability and
          Lockbox

     Each of  PHC-Michigan  and PHC-Utah (and each other Borrower whose Accounts
may be included at any time in the future  within the  Borrowing  Base,  and all
Borrowers at the  direction of Lender  following  the  occurrence of an Event of
Default)  shall  maintain  one  or  more  lockbox  accounts   (individually  and
collectively, the "Lockbox Account") with one or more banks acceptable to Lender
(each, a "Lockbox  Bank"),  and shall execute with each Lockbox Bank one or more
agreements  acceptable to Lender  (individually and  collectively,  the "Lockbox
Agreement"),  and such other  agreements  related thereto as Lender may require.
Each  such  Borrower  shall  ensure  that all  collections  of their  respective
Accounts  (other than accounts due from Private Payors and any amounts  received
under  contracts  held by  PHC-Michigan  or PHC-Utah  but for which the services
relating  thereto are  performed by Wellplace)  are paid and delivered  directly
from Account Debtors and other Persons into the appropriate Lockbox Account. The
Lockbox  Agreements  shall  provide  that the  Lockbox  Banks  immediately  will
transfer all funds paid into the Lockbox  Accounts into a depository  account or
accounts  maintained  by Lender or an Affiliate of Lender at such bank as Lender
may  communicate  to each such  Borrower  from time to time (the  "Concentration
Account"),  except,  with respect only to Accounts payable by  Medicaid/Medicare
Account Debtors,  as instructed by the applicable Borrower to whom such Accounts
are  payable  as  permitted   pursuant  to  the  applicable  Lockbox  Agreement.
Notwithstanding  and without  limiting any other provision of any Loan Document,
Lender  shall  apply,  on  a  daily  basis,  all  funds   transferred  into  the
Concentration  Account pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement and this Section 2.5 in
such order and manner as determined  by Lender.  To the extent that any Accounts
collections of any such Borrower or any other cash payments received by any such
Borrower  are not sent  directly  to the  appropriate  Lockbox  Account  but are
received by any such Borrower or any of their  Affiliates,  such collections and
proceeds  shall be held in trust  for the  benefit  of  Lender  and  immediately
remitted (and in any event within two (2) Business  Days), in the form received,
to the appropriate  Lockbox Account for immediate  transfer to the Concentration
Account. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the terms of
this Section 2.5 is an essential term of this  Agreement,  and that, in addition
to and  notwithstanding  any other rights Lender may have  hereunder,  under any
other Loan  Document,  under  applicable  law or at equity,  upon each and every
failure by any Borrower or any of their Affiliates to comply with any such terms
Lender shall be entitled to assess a  non-compliance  fee which shall operate to
increase the  Applicable  Rate by two percent (2.0%) per annum during any period
of non-compliance,  whether or not a Default or an Event of Default occurs or is
declared,  provided  that nothing  shall  prevent  Lender from  considering  any
failure to comply with the terms of this Section 2.5 to be a Default or an Event
of Default.  All funds transferred to the Concentration  Account for application
to the Obligations  under the Revolving  Facility shall be applied to reduce the
Obligations  under the  Revolving  Facility,  but, for  purposes of  calculating
interest hereunder, shall be subject to a six (6) Business Day clearance period.
If as the result of  collections  of  Accounts  and/or  any other cash  payments
received by any Borrower  pursuant to this Section 2.5 a credit  balance  exists
with respect to the Concentration  Account, such credit balance shall not accrue
interest in favor of any  Borrower,  but shall be available  to the  appropriate
Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  If applicable,  at any
time  prior  to the  execution  of all or  any  of the  Lockbox  Agreements  and
operation  of all  or any of the  Lockbox  Accounts,  each  Borrower  and  their
Affiliates  shall direct all  collections or proceeds it receives on Accounts or
from other  Collateral to the accounts(s) and in the manner  specified by Lender
in its sole discretion.

                                    -- 34 --

     2.6  Term Loan

     Subject to the terms and  conditions  set forth in this  Agreement,  Lender
agrees to loan to Borrower on the Closing  Date the Maximum  Term Loan Amount in
the form of the Term  Loan to be  constituted  of a  single  draw  equal to such
Maximum  Term  Loan  Amount  to  be  disbursed  to  the  appropriate  Borrower's
account(s) as set forth on Schedule 2.6. The Term Loan is not a revolving credit
facility, and any repayments of principal shall be applied to permanently reduce
the Term Loan. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by the Term Loan Note.

          2.7  Interest on the Term Note

     Interest  on the  outstanding  balance of the Term Loan under the Term Loan
Note shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month
at  an  annual  rate  of  Prime  Rate  plus  3.5%,  provided,   however,   that,
notwithstanding,  any other provision of any Loan Document,  the interest on the
outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan under the Term Loan Note shall be
not less than 9.0%,  in each case  calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and
for the actual  number of calendar  days  elapsed in each  interest  calculation
period.  Interest accrued on the Term Loan shall be due and payable on the first
day of each calendar month commencing November 1, 2004, and continuing until the
later of the  expiration of the Term and the full  performance  and  irrevocable
payment in full in cash of the  Obligations  and  termination of this Agreement.
Advances  under  the  Revolving  Facility  shall be made  automatically  for the
payment of interest on the Term Loan and other  Obligations on the date when due
to the extent available and as provided for herein.

     2.8  Repayment of Term Loan; Maturity

     Payment  of  principal  outstanding  under the Term Loan  shall be  payable
monthly on the first day of each month commencing November 1, 2004 in thirty-six
(36)  consecutive   monthly   installments,   the  first  twelve  (12)  of  such
installments  to be in the  amount  of  $25,000,  the next  twelve  (12) of such
installments  to be  in  the  amount  of  $37,500,  and  the  next  eleven  (11)
installments to be in the amount of $50,000,  with the  thirty-sixth  (36th) and
final installment in the then unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan, together
with all other  Obligations due hereunder in respect of the Term Loan, being due
and payable in full,  if not earlier  paid or demanded in  accordance  with this
Agreement, on September 30, 2007 (the "Term Loan Maturity Date").

     2.9  Promise to Pay; Manner of Payment

     Borrower absolutely and unconditionally promises to pay principal, interest
and all other  amounts  payable  hereunder,  or under any other  Loan  Document,
without any right of rescission and without any deduction whatsoever,  including
any deduction for any setoff,  counterclaim or recoupment,  and  notwithstanding
any damage to,  defects in or  destruction of the Collateral or any other event,
including  obsolescence  of any property or  improvements.  All payments made by
Borrower  (other than payments  automatically  paid through  Advances  under the
Revolving  Facility as provided herein),  shall be made only by wire transfer on
the  date  when  due,  without  offset  or  counterclaim,  in U.S.  Dollars,  in
immediately  available  funds to such  account as may be indicated in writing by
Lender to Borrower from time to time. Any such payment  received after 2:00 p.m.
(New York  City  time) on the date  when due  shall be  deemed  received  on the
following Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due
or shall become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date
thereof  shall be  extended  to,  and such  payment  shall be made on,  the next

                                    -- 35 --

succeeding  Business  Day,  and such  extension  of time in such  case  shall be
included in the  computation  of payment of any interest  (at the interest  rate
then in effect during such extension) and/or fees, as the case may be.

     2.10 Repayment of Excess Advances

     Any balance of Advances  under the Revolving  Facility  outstanding  at any
time in excess of the lesser of the Facility Cap or the Availability (or, in the
case of Overadvances,  in excess of the Overadvance  Limit) shall be immediately
due and payable by Borrower without the necessity of any demand,  at the Payment
Office,  whether  or not a  Default  or  Event of  Default  has  occurred  or is
continuing and shall be paid in the manner specified in Section 2.9.

     2.11 Other Mandatory Prepayments

     In addition to and without limiting any provision of any Loan Document:

     (a) if a Change of Control  occurs,  on or prior to the first  Business Day
following the date of such Change of Control,  Borrower  shall prepay the Loans,
including,   without  limitation,   all  outstanding   Advances  and  all  other
Obligations,  in full in cash together with accrued interest thereon to the date
of prepayment  and all other  amounts owing to Lender under the Loan  Documents;
and

     (b) if any Borrower sells any of its assets or properties,  sells or issues
any securities (debt or equity)(other than private placements for equity of PHC,
Inc. the terms and conditions of which do not violate any terms or conditions of
this  Agreement or the other Loan  Documents,  employee  stock  purchase  plans,
warrants  issued for services and stock and stock options issued to employees in
the  ordinary  course of  business  (including  shares of stock  issued upon the
exercise of such stock options)), capital stock or ownership interests, receives
any capital contributions, receives any property damage insurance award which is
not used to repair  or  replace  the  property  covered  thereby  or incurs  any
Indebtedness except for Permitted Indebtedness,  then it shall apply 100% of the
proceeds  thereof to the prepayment of the Loans together with accrued  interest
thereon and all other Obligations owing to Lender under the Loan Documents, such
payment to be applied at such time and in such manner and order as Lender  shall
decide in its sole discretion.

     2.12 Payments by Lender

     Should any amount  required  to be paid under any Loan  Document be unpaid,
such amount may be paid by Lender,  which  payment shall be deemed a request for
an Advance under the Revolving  Facility as of the date such payment is due, and
Borrower irrevocably authorizes  disbursement of any such funds to Lender by way
of direct payment of the relevant amount, interest or Obligations. No payment or
prepayment  of any amount by Lender or any other Person shall entitle any Person
to be  subrogated  to the rights of Lender  under any Loan  Document  unless and
until the Obligations have been fully performed and paid irrevocably in cash and
this Agreement has been  terminated.  Any sums expended by Lender as a result of
any  Borrower's or any  Guarantor's  failure to pay,  perform or comply with any
Loan Document or any of the Obligations may be charged to Borrower's  account as
an Advance under the Revolving Facility and added to the Obligations.

                                    -- 36 --

     2.13 Grant of Security Interest; Collateral

     (a)  To  secure  the  payment  and  performance  of the  Obligations,  each
Borrower, each Guarantor, hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest
in and Lien upon, and pledges to Lender, all of its right, title and interest in
and to the following  (collectively and each  individually,  the  "Collateral"),
which security interest is intended to be a first priority security interest:

     (i) all of such  Borrower's and  Guarantor's  tangible  personal  property,
including  without  limitation  all present and future  Inventory  and Equipment

provided,  however, that Lender shall not have a security interest in any rights
under any  Government  Contract of such Borrower and Guarantor or in the related
Government  Account  where  the  taking  of such  security  interest  would be a
violation of an express  prohibition  contained in the Government  Contract (for
purposes of this limitation,  the fact that a Government Contract is subject to,
or  otherwise  refers  to,  Title 31,  ss. 203 or Title 41, ss. 15 of the United
States  Code  shall not be  deemed an  express  prohibition  against  assignment

shall not include,  any General Intangibles of Borrower or such Guarantor to the
extent that (i) such General  Intangibles are not assignable or capable of being
encumbered  as a  matter  of law or under  the  terms  of any  license  or other

shall be enforceable  under  applicable law) without the consent of the licensor
thereof or other  applicable  party thereto,  and (ii) such consent has not been
obtained;  provided,  however,  that the foregoing grant of a security  interest
shall extend to, and the term "Collateral" shall include, each of the following:
(a) any  General  Intangible  which is in the nature of an Account or a right to
the payment of money or a proceed of, or otherwise related to the enforcement or
collection of, any Account or right to the payment of money,  or goods which are
the  subject of any  Account or right to the  payment of money,  (b) any and all
proceeds of any General Intangible that is otherwise excluded to the extent that
the assignment, pledge or encumbrance of such proceeds is not so restricted, and
(c) upon  obtaining the consent of any such licensor or other  applicable  party
with respect to any such otherwise  excluded  General  Intangible,  such General
Intangible as well as any and all proceeds  thereof that might  theretofore have

collectively, a "Mortgage"), (ii) a collateral assignment of leases, rentals and
property  income  dated  the  Closing  Date  from  each  of   PHC-Michigan   and

(iii) an assignment of permits and licenses  dated the Closing Date from each of
PHC-Michigan  and  PHC-Virginia to Lender with respect to the Real Estate (each,
as such may be modified, amended or supplemented from time to time, individually
and collectively, a "Permit Assignment").

     (d)  The   payment   and   performance   of  the   Obligations   shall   be
cross-guaranteed  by each Borrower pursuant to a cross guaranty  agreement dated
the Closing  Date  executed by each  Borrower  (each,  as such may be  modified,
amended or supplemented  from time to time,  individually  and  collectively,  a
"Cross Guaranty").

     (e) Intentionally Omitted.

     (f) In addition to the foregoing,  to secure the payment and performance of

     (g) Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement,  and upon the proper
filing of the necessary  financing  statements,  the  recordation of the Patent,
Trademark  and  Copyright  Assignment  in the United States Patent and Trademark
Office and/or the United States  Copyright  Office,  and proper  delivery of the
necessary  stock and  membership  interest  certificates,  without  any  further
action,  Lender will have a good,  valid and perfected  first  priority Lien and
security   interest  in  the  Collateral,   subject  to  no  transfer  or  other
restrictions  or  Liens of any kind in favor  of any  other  Person  except  for
Permitted Liens. No financing  statement relating to any of the Collateral is on
file in any public office  except those (i) on behalf of Lender,  and/or (ii) in
connection with Permitted Liens.

     2.14 Collateral Administration

     (a) All Collateral  (except Deposit  Accounts) will at all times be kept by
each Borrower at the locations set forth on Schedule 5.18B hereto and shall not,
without  thirty (30)  calendar  days prior  written  notice to Lender,  be moved
therefrom,  and in any case shall not be moved  outside the  continental  United
States.

     (b) Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete  records of its Accounts
and all payments and collections thereon and shall submit such records to Lender
on such  periodic  bases as Lender may  request.  In  addition,  if  Accounts of
PHC-Michigan  or PHC-Utah (or any other  Borrower whose Accounts may be included
at any time in the future within the Borrowing Base) in an aggregate face amount
in excess of  $10,000  become  ineligible  because  they fall  within one of the
specified  categories of  ineligibility  set forth in the definition of Eligible
Receivables,  each such Borrower  shall notify Lender of such  occurrence on the
first Business Day following the discovery of such  occurrence and the Borrowing
Base shall  thereupon  be adjusted to reflect such  occurrence.  If requested by
Lender,  each  Borrower  shall  execute  and  deliver to Lender  formal  written
assignments  of all of its  Accounts  weekly  or daily as  Lender  may  request,
including all Accounts created since the date of the last  assignment,  together
with copies of claims, invoices and/or other information related thereto. To the

                                    -- 38 --

extent that  collections  from such assigned  accounts  exceed the amount of the
Obligations,  such excess amount shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrower,
but shall be available to the Borrower upon Borrower's written request.

     (c) Whether or not an Event of Default  has  occurred,  upon prior  written
notice to Borrower,  any of Lender's  officers,  employees,  representatives  or
agents shall have the right,  at any time during normal  business  hours, in the
name of Lender, any designee of Lender or any Borrower,  to verify the validity,
amount or any other matter  relating to any Accounts of any  Borrower;  provided
that such prior written notice to Borrower is not required if a Default or Event
of Default has occurred and be continuing.  Each Borrower shall  cooperate fully
with Lender in an effort to facilitate and promptly  conclude such  verification
process.

     (d) To  expedite  collection,  each  Borrower  shall  endeavor in the first
instance to make  collection  of its Accounts for Lender.  Lender shall have the
right at all times after the occurrence  and during the  continuance of an Event
of Default to notify (i) Account  Debtors owing  Accounts to any Borrower  other
than Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors that their Accounts have been assigned to
Lender  and to  collect  such  Accounts  directly  in its own name and to charge
collection  costs  and  expenses,   including  reasonable  attorney's  fees,  to
Borrower,  and (ii)  Medicaid/Medicare  Account  Debtors that such  Borrower has
waived any and all defenses and  counterclaims it may have or could interpose in
any such  action  or  procedure  brought  by  Lender  to  obtain  a court  order
recognizing the collateral assignment or security interest and lien of Lender in
and to any Account or other Collateral and that Lender is seeking or may seek to
obtain a court order recognizing the collateral  assignment or security interest
and lien of  Lender  in and to all  Accounts  and other  Collateral  payable  by
Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors.

     (e) As and when  determined by Lender in its sole  discretion,  Lender will
perform  the  searches  described  in clauses  (i) and (ii) below  against  each
Borrower  and  Guarantor  (the  results  of  which  are  to be  consistent  with
Borrower's   representations  and  warranties  under  this  Agreement),  all  at
Borrower's  expense:  (i) UCC  searches  with the  Secretary  of State and local
filing  offices  of  each  jurisdiction  where  any  Borrower  and/or  Guarantor
maintains their respective executive offices, a place of business or assets; and
(ii) judgment, federal tax lien and corporate and partnership tax lien searches,
in each  jurisdiction  searched  under clause (i) above.  UCC searches  shall be
conducted at the expense of Borrower on a quarterly basis; provided, that Lender
shall have the right to conduct such  searches  more  frequently  at its expense
and,  if a Default or Event of Default  shall have  occurred,  at the expense of
Borrower.

     (f) Each of  PHC-Michigan  and  PHC-Utah  (and  any  other  Borrower  whose
Accounts may be included at any time in the future  within the  Borrowing  Base)
(i) shall  provide  prompt  written  notice to its current  bank to transfer all
items,  collections and  remittances to the  Concentration  Account,  (ii) shall
provide   prompt   written   notice  to  each   Account   Debtor   (other   than
Medicaid/Medicare  Account  Debtors)  that  Lender  has been  granted a lien and
security interest in, upon and to all Accounts applicable to such Account Debtor
and shall direct each Account Debtor to make payments to the appropriate Lockbox
Account,  and each such Borrower hereby authorizes  Lender,  upon any failure to
send such notices and directions within ten (10) calendar days after the date of
this  Agreement (or ten (10)  calendar days after the Person  becomes an Account
Debtor),  to send any and all similar  notices and  directions  to such  Account
Debtors,  and (iii) shall do anything  further that may be lawfully  required by
Lender to secure Lender and effectuate the intentions of the Loan Documents.  At
Lender's  request,  each such Borrower shall  immediately  deliver to Lender all
items for which Lender must receive  possession  to obtain a perfected  security
interest and all notes,  certificates,  and documents of title,  Chattel  Paper,
warehouse receipts,  Instruments, and any other similar instruments constituting
Collateral.  Notwithstanding  any  provision  of  this  subsection  (f)  to  the

                                    -- 39 --

contrary,  following the  occurrence of an Event of Default each Borrower  shall
comply with the provisions of this subsection (f) if directed by Lender.

     2.15 Power of Attorney

     Lender is hereby  irrevocably made,  constituted and appointed the true and
lawful attorney for each Borrower (without requiring any of them to act as such)
with full power of substitution to do the following: (i) endorse the name of any
such Person upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders, and other instruments
for the  payment  of money  that  are  payable  to such  Person  and  constitute
collections  on its or their  Accounts;  (ii) execute in the name of such Person
any financing statements,  schedules, assignments,  instruments,  documents, and
statements  that it is or they or are  obligated to give Lender under any of the
Loan  Documents to enable  Lender to preserve or exercise any rights or remedies
in any  Collateral;  and (iii) do such other and  further  acts and deeds in the
name of such Person that Lender may deem  necessary  or desirable to enforce any
Account or other Collateral or to perfect Lender's  security interest or lien in
any  Collateral.  In  addition,  if any  such  Person  breaches  its  obligation
hereunder to direct payments of Accounts or the proceeds of any other Collateral
to the appropriate Lockbox Account, Lender, as the irrevocably made, constituted
and  appointed  true and  lawful  attorney  for  such  Person  pursuant  to this
paragraph,  may, by the  signature  or other act of any of Lender's  officers or
authorized  signatories  (without  requiring  any of them to do so),  direct any
federal,  state or  private  payor or fiscal  intermediary  to pay  proceeds  of
Accounts or any other Collateral to the appropriate Lockbox Account.

III.     FEES AND OTHER CHARGES; ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE

     3.1  Commitment Fee

     On or before the Closing Date,  Borrower  shall pay to Lender the following
as a nonrefundable commitment fees:

     (a) 1% of the Facility Cap in respect of the Revolving Facility;

     (b) 1% of the Maximum Term Loan Amount; and

     (c) $60,000 in respect of the Overadvance Limit.

     3.2  Unused Line Fee

     Borrower  shall pay to Lender  monthly an unused line fee (the "Unused Line
Fee") in an amount  equal to 0.042%  (per  month) of the  difference  derived by
subtracting  (i) the daily  average  amount of the balances  under the Revolving
Facility  outstanding  during the preceding  month,  from (ii) the Facility Cap;
provided,  however, that the Unused Line Fee shall be waived during any month in
which  the  average  monthly  balance  of  the  Revolving  Facility   (excluding
outstanding Overadvances) is greater than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).  The
Unused  Line Fee shall be  payable  monthly  in arrears on the first day of each
successive  calendar  month  (starting  with the month in which the Closing Date
occurs).

                                    -- 40 --

     3.3  Collateral Management Fee

     Borrower  shall pay  Lender as  additional  interest  a monthly  collateral
management  fee (the  "Collateral  Management  Fee")  equal to 0.083%  per month
calculated  on the basis of the daily average  amount of the balances  under the
Revolving  Facility  outstanding  during the  preceding  month.  The  Collateral
Management  Fee shall be  payable  monthly  in  arrears on the first day of each
successive  calendar  month  (starting  with the month in which the Closing Date
occurs).

     3.4  Finance Fees

     If  Borrower  makes  any final  prepayment  or any  payment  in full of the
principal amount of the Term Loan Note or other  satisfaction of the outstanding
balance of the Term Loan Note and/or the Term Loan is otherwise  terminated,  in
each case for any  reason,  then,  on such date,  Borrower  shall pay Lender (in
addition  to any other  Obligations  relating  to the Term Loan  pursuant to the
terms of this  Agreement  and any other Loan  Document),  an amount equal to the
Term Loan Finance Fee Amount;  provided,  however,  that no fee shall be due and
payable under this subsection (a) if the Term Loan Termination  results from the
refinancing of the Term Loan with the proceeds from a financing  under a program
sponsored by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

     3.5  Computation of Fees; Lawful Limits

     All fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and
for the actual number of days elapsed in each calculation period, as applicable.
In no  contingency or event  whatsoever,  whether by reason of  acceleration  or
otherwise,  shall the  interest  and other  charges paid or agreed to be paid to
Lender for the use,  forbearance  or  detention  of money  hereunder  exceed the
maximum  rate  permissible  under  applicable  law  which a court  of  competent
jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. If, due to
any circumstance  whatsoever,  fulfillment of any provision  hereof, at the time
performance of such provision  shall be due, shall exceed any such limit,  then,
the obligation to be so fulfilled shall be reduced to such lawful limit, and, if
Lender shall have received interest or any other charges of any kind which might
be deemed to be interest  under  applicable  law in excess of the maximum lawful
rate,  then such  excess  shall be applied  first to any unpaid fees and charges
hereunder,  then to unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower hereunder,  and if
the then  remaining  excess  interest  is  greater  than the  previously  unpaid
principal  balance,  Lender shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrower
and  the  provisions  hereof  shall  be  deemed  amended  to  provide  for  such
permissible  rate. The terms and provisions of this Section 3.5 shall control to
the extent any other provision of any Loan Document is inconsistent herewith.

     3.6  Default Rate of Interest

     Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the
Applicable  Rate  of  interest  in  effect  at such  time  with  respect  to the
Obligations shall be increased by 5.0% per annum (the "Default Rate").

     3.7  Acknowledgement of Joint and Several Liability

     Each Borrower  acknowledges that it is jointly and severally liable for all
of  the  Obligations   under  the  Loan  Documents.   Each  Borrower   expressly
understands,  agrees  and  acknowledges  that  (i)  Borrowers  are all  entities
affiliated  by  common  ownership,  (ii)  each  Borrower  desires  to  have  the

                                    -- 41 --

availability  of  one  common  credit   facility   instead  of  separate  credit
facilities,  (iii) each Borrower has requested  that Lender extend such a common
credit  facility  on the terms  herein  provided,  (iv)  Lender  will be lending
against,  and relying on a lien upon,  all of Borrowers'  assets even though the
proceeds of any particular loan made hereunder may not be advanced directly to a
particular Borrower, (v) each Borrower will nonetheless benefit by the making of
all such loans by Lender and the  availability  of a single credit facility of a
size  greater  than  each  could  independently  warrant,  and  (vi)  all of the
representations,  warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, agreements and
other terms  contained in the Loan Documents shall be applicable to and shall be
binding upon each Borrower.

     3.8  Warrants

     As additional  consideration  for the extensions of credit hereunder and as
more  fully   described  in  the  Warrant,   PHC  shall  issue  and  deliver  to
CapitalSource  Holdings LLC on the Closing  Date,  the Warrant.  The Warrant and
number of securities  purchasable  upon exercise of the Warrant shall be subject
to adjustment  and shall be subject to various  rights in favor of Lender as set
forth in the Warrant.

     3.9  Allocation of Purchase Price

     Under both GAAP  consistently  applied and the  regulations of the Internal
Revenue  Service,  the  issuance to Lender of the Term Loan Note and the Warrant
for an aggregate  purchase price equal to the aggregate  principal amount of the
Term Loan Note being so purchased  results in the  creation of  "original  issue
discount"  (as defined in Section  1273(a) of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986
and Treasury Regulation Section 1.1273-1) on such Term Loan Note (which original
issue  discount may also be deemed to constitute the value of any Warrant issued
in connection  with the issuance of such Term Loan Note),  and such  regulations
require the determination of the value of any warrant so delivered.  Pursuant to
GAAP  consistently  applied and applicable  Treasury  Regulations,  Borrower and
Lender agree to allocate  [$_____] of the  purchase  price to the Term Loan Note
and the  remaining  [$_____] of the purchase  price to the Warrant and that such
allocation  reflects the relative  fair market  values of the Term Loan Note and
the  Warrant as of their  issue  date.  As a result,  the Term Loan Note will be
issued with original  issue  discount of [$_____].  Borrower and Lender agree to
recognize and adhere to the  determinations  and  allocations  of original issue
discount and valuation of the Warrant set forth herein for all federal and state
income tax purposes. In the event of any proposed transfer of the Term Loan Note
by Lender, Lender shall, prior to such transfer,  mark the Term Loan Note with a
legend  pertaining  to the  original  issue  discount  in the form  required  by
Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-3(b)(1).

     3.10 Debt Service Reserve

     On the  Closing  Date,  Borrower  shall  deposit  with Lender the amount of
$30,000 in order to fund the Debt Service Reserve Amount to be held by Lender in
escrow.  Upon the full performance and satisfaction and indefeasible  payment in
full in  cash of all the  Obligations  and the  termination  of this  Agreement,
Lender shall return to Borrower that portion of the Debt Service  Reserve Amount
not already used by Lender to make payments of principal or interest pursuant to
this  Agreement.  Notwithstanding  and without  limiting or being limited by any
other  provision of this Agreement,  upon the occurrence and  continuation of an
Event of Default,  Lender shall have the right, in its sole  discretion,  to use
all or any  portion  of the Debt  Service  Reserve  Amount to pay any  amount or
Obligation hereunder and/or under the Loans, Notes and other Loan Documents,  to
be applied at such time and in such manner and order as Lender  shall  decide in
its sole discretion. After any cure of any Event of Default, if amounts from the

                                    -- 42 --

Debt Service Reserve Amount have been used by Lender pursuant to the immediately
preceding  sentence,  Borrower shall deposit such additional cash with Lender to
be held by Lender in escrow in a  non-interest  bearing  account to restore  the
full amount of the Debt Service Reserve Amount in such account.

at law or in equity).

or  commitment  or makes a proposal  accepted by any Person  (each,  an "Offer")
which provides for any type of financing  (except for the financing of insurance

practices) to or for such Borrower or Guarantor or any of its  Affiliates,  each
such  Borrower,  Guarantor,  Subsidiary or Affiliate  shall notify Lender of the
Offer in writing  (including  all material  terms of the Offer) and Lender shall
have  thirty  (30)  calendar  days after  Receipt of such  notice  (the  "Option
Period") to agree to provide similar  financing in the place of such Person upon
substantially  the same terms and  conditions  (or terms more  favorable to such
Borrower or Affiliate) as set forth in the Offer.  Lender shall notify each such
Borrower,  Guarantor,  Subsidiary or Affiliate in writing of Lender's acceptance
of the Offer  pursuant  hereto  (the  "Acceptance  Notice"),  in which case such
Borrower,  Guarantor,  Subsidiary or Affiliate  shall obtain such financing from
Lender and shall not accept the Offer from such other  Person.  If no Acceptance
Notice has been received from Lender within the Option  Period,  such  Borrower,
Guarantor,  Subsidiary  or  Affiliate  may  consummate  the Offer with the other
Person on the terms and conditions  set forth in the Offer (the  "Transaction");
provided,  however,  that none of foregoing or any failure by Lender to issue an

Offer or during the ninety (90) calendar day period  following the expiration of
the Option Period, such Borrower,  Guarantor,  Subsidiary or Affiliate shall not

                                    -- 57 --

be permitted to consummate  the  Transaction  without again  complying with this

CapitalSource Finance LLC and any of its parents, subsidiaries or Affiliates.

respect thereto of any nature whatsoever,  excluding taxes to the extent imposed

such  amounts from or in respect of any sum payable  under any Loan  Document to

that, after making all required  deductions,  Lender receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. Notwithstanding

any  change in any  existing  law,  regulation,  treaty or  directive  or in the
interpretation or application thereof,  (ii) any new law, regulation,  treaty or
directive  enacted  or any  interpretation  or  application  thereof,  or  (iii)
compliance  by Lender with any request or  directive  (whether or not having the
force of law) from any Governmental  Authority:  (A) subjects Lender to any tax,
levy,  impost,  deduction,   assessment,  charge  or  withholding  of  any  kind
whatsoever  with respect to any Loan Document,  or changes the basis of taxation
of payments to Lender of any amount  payable  thereunder  (except for net income
taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, imposed generally
by  federal,  state or local  taxing  authorities  with  respect to  interest or
commitment fees or other fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of tax on
the overall net income of Lender),  or (B) imposes on Lender any other condition
or increased cost in connection with the  transactions  contemplated  thereby or
participations  therein;  and the result of any of the  foregoing is to increase
the cost to Lender of making or continuing  any Loan  hereunder or to reduce any
amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay
to Lender any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender, on an after-tax
basis,  for such additional  cost or reduced amount as determined by Lender.  If
Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section
6.14 it shall  promptly  notify  Borrower of the event by reason of which Lender
has become so  entitled,  and each such  notice of  additional  amounts  payable
pursuant to this Section  6.14  submitted  by Lender to Borrower  shall,  absent
manifest  error,  be final,  conclusive  and binding for all  purposes.  Without
limiting or being  limited by any other  provision  of any Loan  Document,  each
Borrower  at all times  shall  retain and use a Person  acceptable  to Lender to
process,  manage and pay its payroll  taxes and shall cause to be  delivered  to

which was filed on  behalf  of  Borrower,  (ii)  notices  of tax  assessment  or
possible  tax  assessment,  (iii)  years that are  designated  open  pending tax

VIII. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT

     9.1 Rights and Remedies

     (a) In addition to the  acceleration  provisions  set forth in Article VIII
above, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lender shall
have the right to exercise any and all rights, options and remedies provided for
in any Loan Document, under the UCC or at law or in equity,  including,  without
limitation,  the right to (i) apply any property of any Borrower  held by Lender
to reduce the  Obligations,  (ii) foreclose the Liens created under the Security
Documents,  (iii) realize upon, take possession of and/or sell any Collateral or
securities  pledged (other than Collateral  consisting of Accounts owed or owing
by  Medicaid/Medicare  Account  Debtors absent a court order or compliance  with
applicable law) with or without judicial  process,  (iv) exercise all rights and
powers with respect to the  Collateral as any  Borrower,  as  applicable,  might
exercise  (other than with respect to Collateral  consisting of Accounts owed or
owing by  Medicaid/Medicare  Account  Debtors absent a court order or compliance

                                    -- 65 --

with  applicable  law),  (v) collect and send notices  regarding the  Collateral
(other than with respect to  Collateral  consisting of Accounts owed or owing by
Medicaid/Medicare  Account  Debtors  absent  a court  order or  compliance  with
applicable law), with or without judicial process, (vi) by its own means or with
judicial  assistance,  enter any  premises at which  Collateral  and/or  pledged
securities  are located,  or render any of the foregoing  unusable or dispose of
the Collateral and/or pledged  securities on such premises without any liability
for rent,  storage,  utilities,  or other sums,  and no Borrower shall resist or
interfere with such action, (vii) at Borrower's expense, require that all or any
part of the  Collateral be assembled  and made  available to Lender at any place
designated by Lender,  (viii)  reduce or otherwise  change the Facility Cap, the
Overadvance  Limit the  Maximum  Term Loan  Amount,  and/or (ix)  relinquish  or
abandon   any   Collateral   or   securities   pledged  or  any  Lien   thereon.
Notwithstanding  any  provision  of any  Loan  Document,  Lender,  in  its  sole
discretion,  shall have the right, at any time that Borrower fails to do so, and
from time to time,  without prior notice,  to: (i) obtain insurance covering any
of the Collateral to the extent required hereunder; (ii) pay for the performance
of any of  Obligations;  (iii) discharge taxes or Liens on any of the Collateral
that are in violation of any Loan document unless Borrower is in good faith with
due diligence by appropriate  proceedings  contesting  those items; and (iv) pay
for the  maintenance  and  preservation  of the  Collateral.  Such  expenses and
advances shall be added to the Obligations  until reimbursed to Lender and shall
be secured by the Collateral, and such payments by Lender shall not be construed
as a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default or any other rights or remedies of
Lender.

     (b) Borrower  agrees that notice  received by it at least ten (10) calendar
days before the time of any intended  public  sale,  or the time after which any
private sale or other  disposition of Collateral is to be made,  shall be deemed
to be  reasonable  notice of such sale or other  disposition.  If  permitted  by
applicable law, any perishable Collateral which threatens to speedily decline in
value or which is sold on a recognized  market may be sold immediately by Lender
without prior notice to Borrower.  At any sale or  disposition  of Collateral or
securities  pledged,  Lender may (to the extent  permitted  by  applicable  law)
purchase  all or any part  thereof  free  from any  right of  redemption  by any
Borrower  which right is hereby  waived and  released.  Borrower  covenants  and
agrees not to, and not to permit or cause any of its  Subsidiaries to, interfere
with or impose any obstacle to Lender's exercise of its rights and remedies with
respect  to  the  Collateral.  Lender,  in  dealing  with  or  disposing  of the
Collateral  or any part  thereof,  shall not be  required  to give  priority  or
preference to any item of  Collateral or otherwise to marshal  assets or to take
possession or sell any Collateral with judicial process.

     9.2 Application of Proceeds

     In addition to any other rights,  options and remedies Lender has under the
Loan Documents,  the UCC, at law or in equity, all dividends,  interest,  rents,
issues, profits, fees, revenues, income and other proceeds collected or received
from collecting,  holding, managing, renting, selling, or otherwise disposing of
all or any part of the  Collateral or any proceeds  thereof upon exercise of its
remedies  hereunder  shall be applied in the  following  order of priority:  (i)
first,  to the payment of all costs and  expenses of such  collection,  storage,
lease,  holding,  operation,  management,  sale,  disposition or delivery and of
conducting  Borrower's  business  and  of  maintenance,  repairs,  replacements,
alterations,  additions and  improvements  of or to the  Collateral,  and to the
payment of all sums which  Lender may be  required  or may elect to pay, if any,
for taxes,  assessments,  insurance and other charges upon the Collateral or any
part thereof,  and all other  payments that Lender may be required or authorized
to make under any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, in
each such case,  in-house  documentation  and diligence fees and legal expenses,
search,  audit,  recording,  professional  and  filing  fees  and  expenses  and
reasonable  attorneys'  fees and all expenses,  liabilities and advances made or
incurred  in  connection  therewith);   (ii)  second,  to  the  payment  of  all
Obligations as provided herein; (iii) third, to the satisfaction of Indebtedness
secured by any  subordinate  security  interest of record in the  Collateral  if
written  notification of demand therefor is received before  distribution of the
proceeds is completed,  provided,  that, if requested by Lender, the holder of a


                                    -- 66 --

subordinate  security  interest shall furnish  reasonable proof of its interest,
and unless it does so, Lender need not address its claims;  and (iv) fourth,  to
the payment of any surplus then remaining to Borrower, unless otherwise provided
by law or directed by a court of competent jurisdiction,  provided that Borrower
shall be liable for any deficiency if such proceeds are  insufficient to satisfy
the Obligations or any of the other items referred to in this section.

     9.3  Rights of Lender to Appoint Receiver

     Without limiting and in addition to any other rights,  options and remedies
Lender has under the Loan  Documents,  the UCC,  at law or in  equity,  upon the
occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default,  Lender shall have the right
to apply for and have a receiver appointed by a court of competent  jurisdiction
in any action  taken by Lender to enforce  its rights and  remedies  in order to
manage,  protect and preserve the  Collateral  and continue the operation of the
business of Borrower and to collect all  revenues and profits  thereof and apply
the same to the payment of all expenses and other  charges of such  receivership
including  the  compensation  of the  receiver  and to the payments as aforesaid
until a sale or other  disposition of such Collateral  shall be finally made and
consummated.

     9.4 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive

     Lender  shall  have the right in its sole  discretion  to  determine  which
rights,  Liens  and/or  remedies  Lender  may at any  time  pursue,  relinquish,
subordinate  or  modify,  and such  determination  will not in any way modify or
affect  any of  Lender's  rights,  Liens or  remedies  under any Loan  Document,
applicable law or equity. The enumeration of any rights and remedies in any Loan
Document is not intended to be exhaustive, and all rights and remedies of Lender
described in any Loan  Document are  cumulative  and are not  alternative  to or
exclusive of any other rights or remedies  which Lender  otherwise may have. The
partial or complete exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude any other
further exercise of such or any other right or remedy.

X.   WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS

     10.1 Waivers

     Except as expressly provided for herein, each Borrower and Guarantor hereby
waives setoff,  counterclaim,  demand,  presentment,  protest, all defenses with
respect  to  any  and  all  instruments  and  all  notices  and  demands  of any
description,  and the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to any
demand under any Loan  Document.  Each Borrower and Guarantor  hereby waives any
and all defenses and  counterclaims it may have or could interpose in any action
or  procedure  brought  by Lender to  obtain an order of court  recognizing  the
assignment  of, or Lien of  Lender in and to,  any  Collateral,  whether  or not
payable  by a  Medicaid/Medicare  Account  Debtor.  With  respect  to any action
hereunder,  Lender  conclusively  may rely upon, and shall incur no liability to
any Borrower or Guarantor  in acting  upon,  any request or other  communication
that  Lender  reasonably  believes  to have  been  given  or  made  by a  person
authorized on any such  Borrower's or  Guarantor's  behalf,  whether or not such
person is listed on the incumbency certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.1
hereof.  In each such case, each Borrower and Guarantor  hereby waives the right
to  dispute  Lender's  action  based upon such  request or other  communication,
absent manifest error.

                                    -- 67 --

     10.2 Delay; No Waiver of Defaults

     No course of  action or  dealing,  renewal,  release  or  extension  of any
provision  of any Loan  Document,  or single  or  partial  exercise  of any such
provision,  or delay, failure or omission on Lender's part in enforcing any such
provision  shall affect the liability of any Borrower or Guarantor or operate as
a waiver of such  provision or affect the liability of any Borrower or Guarantor
or preclude any other or further  exercise of such  provision.  No waiver by any
party to any Loan Document of any one or more defaults by any other party in the
performance  of any of the  provisions of any Loan Document  shall operate or be
construed  as a waiver of any future  default,  whether  of a like or  different
nature,  and each such waiver shall be limited  solely to the express  terms and
provisions  of such  waiver.  Notwithstanding  any other  provision  of any Loan
Document,  by  completing  the  Closing  under this  Agreement  and/or by making
Advances  or  funding  the Term  Loan,  Lender  does not waive any breach of any
representation  or  warranty  of under any Loan  Document,  and all of  Lender's
claims  and  rights  resulting  from any such  breach or  misrepresentation  are
specifically reserved.

     10.3 Jury Waiver

     EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT  HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION  ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN ANY
WAY CONNECTED  WITH OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO
THE  LOAN  DOCUMENTS  OR THE  TRANSACTIONS  CONTEMPLATED  THEREBY,  WHETHER  NOW
EXISTING OR  HEREAFTER  ARISING,  AND  WHETHER  SOUNDING  IN  CONTRACT,  TORT OR
OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF
ACTION  SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT  TRIAL  WITHOUT A JURY,  AND THAT ANY PARTY TO
THIS  AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL  COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH
ANY COURT AS WRITTEN  EVIDENCE  OF THE  CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF
THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.

     10.4 Cooperation in Discovery and Litigation

     In any  litigation,  arbitration  or other  dispute  resolution  proceeding
relating to any Loan  Document,  each Borrower and Guarantor  waives any and all
defenses,  objections  and  counterclaims  it may have or could  interpose  with
respect to (i) any of its directors,  officers, employees or agents being deemed
to be employees or managing agents of such Borrower or Guarantor for purposes of
all  applicable  law or court rules  regarding  the  production  of witnesses by
notice for testimony  (whether in a  deposition,  at trial or  otherwise),  (ii)
Lender's counsel  examining any such  individuals as if under  cross-examination
and  using any  discovery  deposition  of any of them as if it were an  evidence
deposition, and/or (iii) using all commercially reasonable efforts to produce in
any such dispute resolution proceeding,  at the time and in the manner requested
by Lender,  all Persons,  documents  (whether in tangible,  electronic  or other
form) and/or other things under its control and relating to the dispute.

XI.  EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION

     11.1 Effectiveness and Termination

     (a) Subject to Lender's  right to terminate  and cease making Loans upon or
after any Event of  Default,  this  Agreement  shall  continue in full force and
effect  until  the full  performance  and  indefeasible  payment  in cash of all
Obligations, unless terminated sooner as provided in this Section 11.1. Borrower

                                    -- 68 --

may terminate this Agreement at any time upon not less than thirty (30) calendar
days' prior written notice to Lender and upon full  performance and indefeasible
payment in full in cash of all Obligations on or prior to such 30th calendar day
after Receipt by Lender of such written notice.  All of the Obligations shall be
immediately due and payable upon any such  termination on the  termination  date
stated in any notice of termination  (the  "Termination  Date");  provided that,
notwithstanding  any other provision of any Loan Document,  the Termination Date
shall be effective no earlier than the first Business Day of the month following
the  expiration of the thirty (30) calendar  days' prior written  notice period.
Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, no termination of this
Agreement shall affect Lender's rights or any of the Obligations  existing as of
the effective date of such termination, and the provisions of the Loan Documents
shall  continue  to be fully  operative  until the  Obligations  have been fully
performed  and  indefeasibly  paid in cash in full.  The Liens granted to Lender
under the Security Documents and the financing statements filed pursuant thereto
and the  rights  and powers of Lender  shall  continue  in full force and effect
notwithstanding the fact that Borrower's  borrowings  hereunder may from time to
time be in a zero or  credit  position  until all of the  Obligations  have been
fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

     (b) If (i) Borrower terminates the Revolving Facility under Section 11.1(a)
above, (ii) Lender demands or Borrower is otherwise  required to make payment in
full of the  Revolving  Facility  and/or  Obligations  relating to the Revolving
Facility upon the  occurrence of an Event of Default,  (iii) a Change of Control
or  payment  pursuant  to  Section  2.11  occurs,  (iv) any other  voluntary  or
involuntary  prepayment of the Revolving Facility and/or Obligations relating to
the  Revolving  Facility  by  Borrower or any other  Person  occurs  (other than
reductions  to  zero  of  the  outstanding  balance  of the  Revolving  Facility
resulting from the ordinary course  operation of the provisions of Section 2.5),
whether by virtue of Lender's exercising its right of set-off or otherwise,  (v)
Lender accelerates the Revolving Note or makes any demand on the Revolving Note,
or (vi) any payment or reduction  of the  outstanding  balance of the  Revolving
Note and/or the Revolving  Facility is made during a bankruptcy,  reorganization
or  other  proceeding  or is made  pursuant  to any  plan of  reorganization  or
liquidation or any Debtor Relief Law, (each, a "Revolver Termination"), then, at
the effective date of any such Revolver  Termination,  Borrower shall pay Lender
(in  addition to the then  outstanding  principal,  accrued  interest  and other
Obligations  relating to the  Revolving  Facility  pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement and any other Loan  Document),  as yield  maintenance  for the loss of
bargain  and  not as a  penalty,  an  amount  equal  to the  greater  of (1) the
applicable Minimum Termination Fee, and (2) the Yield Maintenance Amount.

     11.2 Survival

     All  obligations,  covenants,  agreements,   representations,   warranties,
waivers and  indemnities  made by any Borrower or Guarantor in any Loan Document
shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the Closing, the
making of the Loans and any  termination of this Agreement until all Obligations
are fully performed and  indefeasibly  paid in full in cash. The obligations and
provisions of Sections 3.5, 3.7, 6.13,  10.1,  10.3,  11.1, 11.2, 12.4, 12.7 and
12.9 shall survive termination of the Loan Documents and any payment, in full or
in part, of the Obligations.

XII. MISCELLANEOUS

     12.1 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Venue

     The Loan  Documents  shall be governed by and construed in accordance  with
the internal laws of the State of Maryland  without  giving effect to its choice
of law  provisions.  Any judicial  proceeding  against any Borrower or Guarantor
with respect to the Obligations,  any Loan Document or any related agreement may
be brought in any federal or state court of  competent  jurisdiction  located in

                                    -- 69 --

the State of Maryland.  By execution and delivery of each Loan Document to which
it is a party,  each  Borrower  and  Guarantor  (i)  accepts  the  non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the aforesaid  courts and irrevocably  agrees to be bound by any
judgment rendered thereby, (ii) waives personal service of process, (iii) agrees
that service of process upon it may be made by  certified  or  registered  mail,
return  receipt  requested,  pursuant to Section  12.5  hereof,  (iv) waives any
objection  to  jurisdiction  and venue of any action  instituted  hereunder  and
agrees  not to  assert  any  defense  based  on lack of  jurisdiction,  venue or
convenience,  and (v) agrees that the Loans were made in  Maryland,  that Lender
has accepted in Maryland all of the Loan Documents executed by Borrower and each
Guarantor  and has  disbursed  Advances  under the Loan  Documents  in Maryland.
Nothing  shall  affect  the  right of  Lender  to serve  process  in any  manner
permitted by law or shall limit the right of Lender to bring proceedings against
any  Borrower  or  Guarantor  in the  courts  of any other  jurisdiction  having
jurisdiction.  Any judicial  proceedings  against Lender involving,  directly or
indirectly, the Obligations, any Loan Document or any related agreement shall be
brought only in a federal or state court  located in the State of Maryland.  All
parties  acknowledge  that they  participated in the negotiation and drafting of
this  Agreement and that,  accordingly,  no party shall move or petition a court
construing this Agreement to construe it more stringently against one party than
against any other.

     12.2 Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders

     The Loan Documents  shall inure to the benefit of Lender,  Transferees  and
all future holders of any Note, the Obligations  and/or any of the Collateral or
Security Documents,  and each of their respective  successors and assigns.  Each
Loan  Document  shall be binding  upon the  Persons'  other than Lender that are
parties thereto and their respective  successors and assigns, and no such Person
may  assign,  delegate  or  transfer  any Loan  Document or any of its rights or
obligations  thereunder  without the prior written consent of Lender.  No rights
are intended to be created  under any Loan Document for the benefit of any third
party donee,  creditor or incidental  beneficiary  of any Borrower or Guarantor.
Nothing  contained in any Loan  Document  shall be construed as a delegation  to
Lender of any other  Person's duty of  performance.  EACH BORROWER AND GUARANTOR
ACKNOWLEDGES  AND AGREES  THAT  LENDER AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME MAY (i)
DIVIDE AND RESTATE ANY NOTE,  AND/OR  (II) SELL,  ASSIGN OR GRANT  PARTICIPATING
INTERESTS IN OR TRANSFER ALL OR ANY PART OF ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS  UNDER ANY
LOAN  DOCUMENT,  NOTE,  THE  OBLIGATIONS  AND/OR THE COLLATERAL TO OTHER PERSONS
(EACH SUCH TRANSFEREE,  ASSIGNEE OR PURCHASER, A "TRANSFEREE").  Each Transferee
shall have all of the  rights  and  benefits  with  respect to the  Obligations,
Notes,  Collateral  and/or Loan Documents held by it as fully as if the original
holder  thereof,  and either Lender or any  Transferee  may be designated as the
sole agent to manage the  transactions  and  obligations  contemplated  therein;
provided  that,  notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in any Loan Document,
Borrower  shall not be obligated to pay under this  Agreement to any  Transferee
any sum in excess of the sum which  Borrower would have been obligated to pay to
Lender  had such  participation  not been  effected.  Notwithstanding  any other
provision  of any Loan  Document,  Lender may  disclose  to any  Transferee  all
information, reports, financial statements,  certificates and documents obtained
under any provision of any Loan Document.

     12.3 Application of Payments

     To the  extent  that any  payment  made or  received  with  respect  to the
Obligations  is  subsequently  invalidated,   determined  to  be  fraudulent  or
preferential,  set  aside or  required  to be  repaid  to a  trustee,  debtor in
possession, receiver, custodian or any other Person under any Debtor Relief Law,
common law or equitable cause or any other law, then the Obligations intended to

                                    -- 70 --

be  satisfied  by such  payment  shall be revived and shall  continue as if such
payment  had not been  received  by Lender.  Any  payments  with  respect to the
Obligations  received  shall be credited and applied in such manner and order as
Lender shall decide in its sole discretion.

     12.4 Indemnity

     Each Borrower and Guarantor  jointly and severally shall indemnify  Lender,
its  Affiliates  and its  and  their  respective  managers,  members,  officers,
employees, Affiliates, agents, representatives, successors, assigns, accountants
and attorneys (collectively, the "Indemnified Persons") from and against any and
all liabilities,  obligations,  losses, damages, penalties,  actions, judgments,
suits,  costs,  expenses  and  disbursements  of any kind or  nature  whatsoever
(including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and
in-house  documentation  and  diligence  fees and legal  expenses)  which may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified  Person with respect
to or  arising  out  of,  or in  any  litigation,  proceeding  or  investigation
instituted  or  conducted  by any Person  with  respect to any aspect of, or any
transaction  contemplated  by or referred  to in, or any matter  related to, any
Loan Document or any agreement,  document or transaction  contemplated  thereby,
whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto,  except to the extent
that  any of  the  foregoing  arises  out of the  gross  negligence  or  willful
misconduct of such Indemnified  Person. If any Indemnified  Person uses in-house
counsel  for any  purpose  for  which  any  Borrower  is  responsible  to pay or
indemnify, each Borrower and Guarantor expressly agrees that its indemnification
obligations  include reasonable charges for such work commensurate with the fees
that  would  otherwise  be charged by outside  legal  counsel  selected  by such
Indemnified Person in its sole discretion for the work performed.  Lender agrees
to give each  Borrower  and  Guarantor  reasonable  notice of any event of which
Lender  becomes  aware for which  indemnification  may be  required  under  this
Section 12.4,  and Lender may elect (but is not obligated) to direct the defense
thereof,  provided  that the selection of counsel shall be subject to Borrower's
and or Guarantor's consent,  which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.  Any Indemnified  Person may, in its reasonable  discretion,  take such
actions as it deems necessary and  appropriate to investigate,  defend or settle
any event or take other remedial or corrective  actions with respect  thereto as
may  be  necessary  for  the  protection  of  such  Indemnified  Person  or  the
Collateral.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  if any insurer agrees to undertake
the defense of an event (an "Insured Event"),  Lender agrees not to exercise its
right to select  counsel to defend the event if that would cause any  Borrower's
or Guarantor's insurer to deny coverage; provided, however, that Lender reserves
the right to retain counsel to represent any Indemnified  Person with respect to
an Insured Event at its sole cost and expense. To the extent that Lender obtains
recovery  from a third  party  other  than an  Indemnified  Person of any of the
amounts that any Borrower has paid to Lender pursuant to the indemnity set forth
in this  Section  12.4,  then  Lender  shall  promptly  pay to such  Borrower or
Guarantor the amount of such recovery.

     12.5 Notice

     Any notice or request under any Loan  Document  shall be given to any party
to this Agreement at such party's address set forth beneath its signature on the
signature  page to this  Agreement,  or at such other  address as such party may
hereafter  specify in a notice given in the manner  required  under this Section
12.5.  Any  notice or  request  hereunder  shall be given  only by, and shall be
deemed to have been  received  upon  (each,  a  "Receipt"):  (i)  registered  or
certified mail, return receipt requested,  on the date on which such received as
indicated  in such return  receipt,  (ii)  delivery by a  nationally  recognized
overnight  courier,  one (1) Business Day after  deposit with such  courier,  or
(iii)  facsimile  or  electronic  transmission,  in each case upon  telephone or
further electronic communication from the recipient affirmatively  acknowledging
receipt (whether automatic or manual from recipient), as applicable.

                                    -- 71 --

     12.6 Severability; Captions; Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures

     If any  provision of any Loan Document is  adjudicated  to be invalid under
applicable  laws or  regulations,  such provision  shall be  inapplicable to the
extent of such invalidity  without  affecting the validity or  enforceability of
the  remainder  of the Loan  Documents  which  shall be given  effect  so far as
possible.  The captions in the Loan Documents are intended for  convenience  and
reference  only and shall not affect the meaning or  interpretation  of the Loan
Documents. The Loan Documents may be executed in one or more counterparts (which
taken together, as applicable, shall constitute one and the same instrument) and
by  facsimile  transmission,  which  facsimile  signatures  shall be  considered
original executed counterparts. Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will
be bound  by its own  facsimile  signature  and that it  accepts  the  facsimile
signature of each other party.

     12.7 Expenses

     Borrower  shall  pay,  whether  or not the  Closing  occurs,  all costs and
expenses  incurred  by  Lender  and/or  its  Affiliates,  including,  without  l
imitation,  documentation  and diligence fees and expenses,  all search,  audit,
appraisal,  recording,  professional  and filing fees and expenses and all other
out-of-pocket  charges and  expenses  (including,  without  limitation,  UCC and
judgment and tax lien searches and UCC filings and fees for post-Closing UCC and
judgment and tax lien searches and wire transfer fees and audit  expenses),  and
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,  (i) in any effort to enforce,  protect
or collect  payment of any  Obligation  or to enforce  any Loan  Document or any
related  agreement,  document or  instrument,  (ii) in connection  with entering
into, negotiating,  preparing, reviewing and executing the Loan Documents and/or
any related agreements,  documents or instruments,  (iii) arising in any way out
of  administration  of the  Obligations,  (iv) in connection  with  instituting,
maintaining,  preserving,  enforcing and/or foreclosing on Lender's Liens in any
of the  Collateral,  the Real Estate or the  securities  pledged  under the Loan
Documents,  whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise,  (v) in defending
or prosecuting any actions,  claims or proceedings arising out of or relating to
Lender's transactions with any Borrower or Guarantor, (vi) in seeking, obtaining
or  receiving  any advice with respect to its rights and  obligations  under any
Loan Document and any related agreement, document or instrument, and/or (vii) in
connection with any modification,  restatement, supplement, amendment, waiver or
extension  of any Loan  Document  and/or  any  related  agreement,  document  or
instrument.  All of the  foregoing  shall be charged to  Borrower's  account and
shall  be part of the  Obligations.  If  Lender  or any of its  Affiliates  uses
in-house  counsel for any purpose under any Loan Document for which  Borrower or
any  Guarantor  is  responsible  to pay or  indemnify,  Borrower  and  any  such
Guarantor  expressly agree that its Obligations  include  reasonable charges for
such work  commensurate with the fees that would otherwise be charged by outside
legal counsel  selected by Lender or such  Affiliate in its sole  discretion for
the work performed. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall pay all taxes
(other than taxes  based upon or measured by Lender's  income or revenues or any
personal  property tax), if any, in connection with the issuance of any Note and
the filing and/or recording of any documents and/or financing statements.

                                    -- 72 --

     12.8 Entire Agreement

     This  Agreement  and the other  Loan  Documents  to which any  Borrower  or
Guarantor is a party constitute the entire agreement between Borrower,  any such
Guarantor and Lender with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof,  and
supersede  all prior  agreements  and  understandings,  if any,  relating to the
subject matter hereof or thereof. Any promises,  representations,  warranties or
guarantees  not herein  contained and  hereinafter  made shall have no force and
effect  unless  in  writing  signed  by  Borrower  or  any  such  Guarantor,  as
applicable, and Lender. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, modified,
amended,  restated,  waived,  supplemented,  discharged,  canceled or terminated
orally or by any  course of  dealing  or in any other  manner  other  than by an
agreement in writing signed by Lender and Borrower and any such Guarantor.  Each
party hereto acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with
the  negotiation  and  execution of this  Agreement and is not relying upon oral
representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions hereof.

     12.9 Lender Approvals

     Unless expressly  provided herein to the contrary,  any approval,  consent,
waiver or  satisfaction  of Lender with respect to any matter that is subject of
any Loan  Document may be granted or withheld by Lender in its sole and absolute
discretion.

     12.10 Confidentiality and Publicity

     Each  Borrower  and  Guarantor  agrees,  and  agrees  to cause  each of its
Subsidiaries  and Affiliates,  (i) not to transmit or disclose  provision of any
Loan Document to any Person (other than to Borrower's and  Guarantor's  advisors
and officers on a need-to-know  basis) without  Lender's prior written  consent,
(ii) to inform all Persons of the confidential  nature of the Loan Documents and
to direct them not to disclose  the same to any other Person and to require each
of them to be bound by these provisions. Lender reserves the right to review and
approve  all  materials  that  any  Borrower  or  Guarantor  or  any  of  its or
Subsidiaries  or Affiliates  prepares that contain  Lender's name or describe or
refer to any Loan Document,  any of the terms thereof or any of the transactions
contemplated  thereby.  No Borrower or Guarantor shall, and shall not permit any
of its  Subsidiaries  or Affiliates to, use Lender's name (or the name of any of
Lender's Affiliates) in connection with any of its business operations.  Nothing
contained in any Loan  Document is intended to permit or authorize  any Borrower
or Guarantor or any of its  Subsidiaries  or Affiliates to contract on behalf of
Lender.  Further,  each Borrower and Guarantor  hereby agrees that Lender or any
Affiliate  of Lender may (i)  disclose  a general  description  of  transactions
arising  under the Loan  Documents for  advertising,  marketing or other similar
purposes and (ii) use any Borrower's,  any Guarantor's or any Subsidiary's name,
logo or other indicia germane to such party in connection with such advertising,
marketing or other similar purposes.

     12.11 Release of Lender

     Notwithstanding  any other  provision of any Loan Document,  each Borrower,
each Guarantor and each Subsidiary voluntarily,  knowingly,  unconditionally and
irrevocably,  with specific and express intent,  for and on behalf of itself, it
managers, members, directors,  officers,  employees,  stockholders,  Affiliates,
agents,  representatives,  accountants,  attorneys,  successors  and assigns and
their respective  Affiliates  (collectively,  the "Releasing  Parties"),  hereby
fully and completely releases and forever discharges the Indemnified Parties and
any other Person or insurer which may be  responsible  or liable for the acts or
omissions of any of the Indemnified Parties, or who may be liable for the injury
or damage resulting therefrom  (collectively,  with the Indemnified Parties, the
"Released Parties"), of and from any and all actions, causes of action, damages,

                                    -- 73 --

claims,  obligations,  liabilities,  costs,  expenses  and  demands  of any kind
whatsoever,  at law or in equity,  matured or unmatured,  vested or  contingent,
that any of the Releasing  Parties has against any of the Released Parties as of
the date of the Closing.  Each  Borrower,  each  Guarantor  and each  Subsidiary
acknowledges  that the  foregoing  release is a material  inducement to Lender's
decision to extend to Borrower the  financial  accommodations  hereunder and has
been relied upon by Lender in agreeing to make the Loans.

     12.12 Agent

     Lender and its  successors  and assigns  hereby (i)  designate  and appoint
CapitalSource  Finance  LLC,  a  Delaware  limited  liability  company,  and its
successors  and  assigns  ("CapitalSource"),  to act as agent for Lender and its
successors and assigns under this Agreement and all other Loan  Documents,  (ii)
irrevocably authorize  CapitalSource to take all actions on its behalf under the
provision  of this Loan  Agreement  and all other Loan  Documents,  and (iii) to

obligations hereunder and thereunder.  CapitalSource, on behalf of Lender, shall
hold all  Collateral,  payments of principal  and  interest,  fees,  charges and
collections  received  pursuant to this Agreement and all other Loan  Documents.
Each  Borrower and Guarantor  acknowledges  that Lender and its  successors  and
assigns transfer and assign to CapitalSource  the right to act as Lender's agent
to enforce all rights and perform all obligations of Lender contained herein and
in all of the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower and Guarantor shall within ten
(10) Business Days after Lender's reasonable request, take such further actions,
obtain such  consents  and  approvals  and duly execute and deliver such further
agreements,  amendments,  assignments,  instructions  or documents as Lender may
request to evidence the appointment and  designation of  CapitalSource  as agent
for Lender and other financial  institutions  from time to time party hereto and
to the other Loan Documents.
