specified therefor shall not relieve the other Banks of their respective
obligations to make their Loans on such date, but no Bank shall be responsible
for the failure of the other Banks to make Loans to be made by such other Banks.
SECTION 2.14 PRO RATA TREATMENT AMONG BANKS.
Except as otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Banks
under Section 2.1 hereof will be made from the Banks and each payment of each
Fee (other than the Agency Fee, the Arrangement Fee and the Origination Fee)
shall be made for the account of the
-19-
Banks pro rata according to the amount of their respective Commitment; (b) each
partial reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be applied to
the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Banks pro rata according to each Bank's
respective Revolving Credit Commitment; (c) each payment and repayment of
principal of or interest on Loans will be made to the Agent for the account of
the Banks pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of
the Loans held by such Banks; and (d) each conversion of Loans of a particular
Type under Section 2.17 hereof (other than conversions provided for by Section
2.20 or 2.21 hereof) shall be made pro rata among the Banks holding Loans of
such Type according to the respective principal amounts of such Loans held by
such Banks.
SECTION 2.15 NON-RECEIPT OF FUNDS BY THE AGENT.
Unless the Agent shall have been notified by a Bank or the Borrowers
(the "PAYOR") prior to the date on which such Bank is to make payment to the
Agent of the proceeds of a Loan to be made by it hereunder or the Borrowers are
to make a payment to the Agent for the account of one or more of the Banks, as
the case may be (such payment being herein called the "REQUIRED PAYMENT"), which
notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make
the Required Payment to the Agent, the Agent may assume that the Required
Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not
be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on
such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the
Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand, repay to the Agent the
amount made available to it together with interest thereon in respect of each
day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available
by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum
equal (i) when the recipient is a Bank, the Federal Funds Rate for such day, or
(ii) the rate of interest applicable to such Loan (when the recipient is the
Borrowers).
SECTION 2.16 SHARING OF PAYMENTS AND SET-OFF AMONG BANKS.
The Borrowers hereby agree that, in addition to (and without
limitation of) any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim a Bank may
otherwise have, each Bank shall be entitled, at its option, to offset balances
held by it at any of its offices against any principal of or interest on any of
its Loans hereunder or any Fee payable to it, that is not paid when due
(regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Borrowers), in which
case it shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Agent thereof, provided that
its failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof. If a Bank
shall effect payment of any principal of or interest or Fee on Loans held by it
under this Agreement through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker's
lien, counterclaim or similar right, it shall promptly purchase from the other
Banks participations in the Loans held by the other Banks in such amounts, and
make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end
that all the Banks shall share the benefit of such payment pro rata in
accordance with the unpaid amount of principal and interest or Fee on the Loans
held by each of them. To such end all the Banks shall make appropriate
adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise)
if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrowers agree
that any Bank so purchasing a participation in the Loans held by the other Banks
may exercise all rights of set-off, banker's lien, counterclaim or similar
rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct
holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein
-20-
shall require any Bank to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of
any Bank to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with
respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrowers.
SECTION 2.17 CONVERSION OF LOANS.
The Borrowers shall have the right to convert Loans of one Type into
Loans of another Type from time to time, provided that: (i) the Borrowers shall
give the Agent notice of each such conversion as provided in Section 2.2 hereof;
(ii) LIBOR Loans may be converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for
such Loans; and (iii) no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan or
LIBOR Loan continued as or converted into another LIBOR Loan if on the proposed
date of conversion a Default or an Event of Default exists. The Agent shall use
its best efforts to notify the Borrowers of the effectiveness of such
conversion, and the new interest rate to which the converted Loans are subject,
as soon as practicable after the conversion; provided, however, that any failure
to give such notice shall not affect the Borrowers' obligations, or the Agent's
or the Banks' rights and remedies, hereunder in any way whatsoever.
SECTION 2.18 ADDITIONAL COSTS; CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS.
(a) In the event that any existing or future law or regulation,
guideline or interpretation thereof, by any court or administrative or
governmental authority (foreign or domestic) charged with the administration
thereof, or compliance by any Bank with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority shall impose, modify or deem
applicable or result in the application of, any capital maintenance, capital
ratio or similar requirement against loan commitments made by any Bank
hereunder, and the result of any event referred to above is to impose upon any
Bank or increase any capital requirement applicable as a result of the making or
maintenance of such Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment or the obligation of the
Borrowers hereunder with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitment (which
imposition of capital requirements may be determined by each Bank's reasonable
allocation of the aggregate of such capital increases or impositions), then,
within ten (10) Business Days' of demand made by such Bank as promptly as
practicable after it obtains knowledge that such law, regulation, guideline,
interpretation, request or directive exists and determines to make such demand,
the Borrowers shall pay to such Bank from time to time as specified by such Bank
additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate such Bank for such
imposition of or increase in capital requirements together with interest on each
such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the
Post-Default Rate. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount
necessary to compensate such Bank as a result of an imposition of or increase in
capital requirements submitted by such Bank to the Borrowers shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof. All references to
any "Bank" shall be deemed to include any participant in such Bank's Revolving
Credit Commitment.
(b) In the event that any Regulatory Change shall: (i) change the
basis of taxation of any amounts payable to any Bank under this Agreement or the
Notes in respect of any Loans including, without limitation, LIBOR Loans (other
than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Bank for any such Loans by
the United States of America or the jurisdiction
-21-
in which such Bank has its principal office); or (ii) impose or modify any
reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premium or assessment, special
deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other
assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Bank (including
any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Base
Rate" in Article 1 hereof); or (iii) impose any other conditions affecting this
Agreement in respect of Loans, including, without limitation, LIBOR Loans (or
any of such extensions of credit, assets, deposits or liabilities); and the
result of any event referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to
increase such Bank's costs of making or maintaining any Loans including, without
limitation, LIBOR Loans, or its Revolving Credit Commitment, or to reduce any
amount receivable by such Bank hereunder in respect of its Commitment (such
increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable are hereinafter referred
to as "ADDITIONAL COSTS") in each case, only to the extent, with respect to
LIBOR Loans, that such Additional Costs are not included in the LIBOR Base Rate
applicable to LIBOR Loans, then, within ten (10) Business Days' of demand made
by such Bank as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge that such a
Regulatory Change exists and determines to make such demand (a copy of which
demand shall be delivered to the Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Bank
from time to time as specified by such Bank, additional amounts which shall be
sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction in
amounts receivable by such Bank from the date of such change, together with
interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full
thereof at the Post-Default Rate. All references to any "Bank" shall be deemed
to include any participant in such Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment.
(c) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of
this Section 2.18, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any
Bank either: (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess
above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other
liabilities of such Bank which includes deposits by reference to which the
interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a
category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Bank which includes
LIBOR Loans, or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a
category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Bank so elects
by notice to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such
Bank to make, and to convert Loans of any other Type into, Loans of such Type
hereunder shall be suspended until the date such Regulatory Change ceases to be
in effect (and all Loans of such Type then outstanding shall be converted into
Base Rate Loans or into LIBOR Loans of another duration as the case may be, in
accordance with Sections 2.17 and 2.21).
(d) Determinations by any Bank for purposes of this Section 2.18
of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making or maintaining
Loans or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the additional
amounts required to compensate such Bank in respect of any Additional Costs,
shall be set forth in writing in reasonable detail describing the Additional
Costs together with a calculation demonstrating the allocation to the Borrowers
of such Additional Costs which shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
-22-
SECTION 2.19 LIMITATION ON TYPES OF LOANS.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to
the determination of an interest rate for any LIBOR Loans for any Interest
Period therefor, the Required Banks determine (which determination shall be
conclusive):
(a) by reason of any event affecting the money markets in the
United States of America or the London interbank market, quotations of interest
rates for the relevant deposits are not being provided in the relevant amounts
or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the rate of interest
for such Loans under this Agreement; or
(b) the rates of interest referred to in the definition of "LIBOR
Base Rate" in Article 1 hereof upon the basis of which the rate of interest on
any LIBOR Loans for such period is determined, do not accurately reflect the
cost to the Banks of making or maintaining such Loans for such period;
then the Agent shall give the Borrowers and each Bank prompt notice thereof (and
shall thereafter give the Borrowers and each Bank prompt notice of the
cessation, if any, of such condition), and so long as such condition remains in
effect, the Banks shall be under no obligation to make Loans of such Type or to
convert Loans of any other Type into Loans of such Type and the Borrowers shall,
on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding
Loans of the affected Type either repay such Loans in accordance with Section
2.5 hereof or convert such Loan into Loans of another Type in accordance with
Section 2.17 hereof.
SECTION 2.20 ILLEGALITY.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event
that it becomes unlawful for any Bank or its applicable Lending Office to: (a)
honor its obligation to make LIBOR Loans hereunder, or (b) maintain LIBOR Loans
hereunder, then such Bank shall promptly notify the Borrowers thereof (with a
copy to the Agent), describing such illegality in reasonable detail (and shall
thereafter promptly notify the Borrowers and the Agent of the cessation, if any,
of such illegality), and such Bank's obligation to make LIBOR Loans and to
convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans hereunder shall, upon written notice
given by such Bank to the Borrowers, be suspended until such time as such Bank
may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans and such Bank's outstanding LIBOR Loans
shall be converted into Base Rate Loans, in accordance with Sections 2.17 and
2.21 hereof.
SECTION 2.21 CERTAIN CONVERSIONS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 2.18 AND 2.20.
If the Loans of any Bank of a particular Type (Loans of such Type are
hereinafter referred to as "AFFECTED LOANS" and such Type is hereinafter
referred to as the "AFFECTED TYPE") are to be converted pursuant to Section 2.18
or 2.20 hereof, such Bank's Affected Loans shall be converted into Base Rate
Loans, or LIBOR Loans of another Type, as the case may be (the "NEW TYPE
LOANS"), on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the
Affected Loans (or, in the case of a conversion required by subsection 2.18(b)
or Section 2.20 hereof, on such earlier date as such Bank may specify to the
Borrowers with a copy to the Agent) and, until such Bank gives notice as
provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.18 or 2.20 hereof
which gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
-23-
(a) to the extent that such Bank's Affected Loans have been so
converted, all repayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to
such Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its New Type Loans;
(b) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as Loans
of the Affected Type shall be made instead as New Type Loans and all Loans
of such Bank which would otherwise be converted into Loans of the Affected
Type shall be converted instead into (or shall remain as) New Type Loans.
SECTION 2.22 INDEMNIFICATION.
The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank,
upon the request of such Bank through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall
compensate such Bank for any loss (including loss of profit), cost or expense
incurred by such Bank (as reasonably determined by such Bank) as a result of:
(a) any payment or repayment or conversion of a LIBOR Loan held
by such Bank on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for
such LIBOR Loan except pursuant to Sections 2.18 or 2.20 hereof; or
(b) any failure by the Borrowers to borrow a LIBOR Loan held by
such Bank on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant
Borrowing Notice under Section 2.2 hereof,
such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to: (i) any
loss or expense suffered by such Bank during the period from the date of receipt
of such early payment or repayment or the date of such conversion to the last
day of such Interest Period if the rate of interest obtainable by such Bank upon
the redeployment of an amount of funds equal to such Bank's pro rata share of
such payment, repayment or conversion or failure to borrow or convert is less
than the rate of interest applicable to such LIBOR Loan for such Interest
Period, or (ii) any loss or expense suffered by such Bank in liquidating LIBOR
deposits prior to maturity which correspond to such Bank's pro rata share of
such payment, repayment, conversion, failure to borrow or failure to convert.
The determination by each such Bank of the amount of any such loss or expense,
when set forth in a written notice to the Borrowers, containing such Bank's
calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall be presumed correct, in the
absence of manifest error.
SECTION 2.23 EXTENSION OF REVOLVING CREDIT COMMITMENT TERMINATION
DATE.
Subject to the following provisions, the Borrowers shall have the
option to extend the initial Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date to
July 26, 2010. By written notice to the Agent delivered no later than six (6)
months prior to the initial Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred since the date of this Agreement, the
Borrowers may request such extension to the initial Revolving Credit Commitment
Termination Date (which request shall be accompanied by a Compliance
Certificate). Promptly upon receipt of such written notice, the Agent shall
deliver a copy to each Bank and the initial Revolving Credit Commitment
Termination Date shall be deemed so extended. In the event that the Borrowers
shall have delivered an extension notice under this
-24-
Section 2.23, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the ratable benefit of
the Banks on the initial Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, a
non-refundable extension fee in an amount equal to twenty (20) basis points
multiplied by the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, as then in effect.
ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Each of the Borrowers hereby represents and warrants to the Banks and the
Agent that:
SECTION 3.1 ORGANIZATION.
(a) Each Borrower is duly organized and validly existing under
the laws of its state of organization and has the power to own its assets and to
transact the business in which it is presently engaged and in which it proposes
to be engaged. Schedule 3.1 hereto accurately and completely lists, as to each
Borrower: (i) the state of incorporation or organization of each such entity,

(b) Each Borrower is in good standing in its state of
organization and in each state in which it is qualified to do business. There
are no jurisdictions other than as set forth on Schedule 3.1 hereto in which the
character of the properties owned or proposed to be owned by each Borrower or in
which the transaction of the business of each Borrower as now conducted or as
proposed to be conducted requires or will require such Borrower to qualify to do
business and as to which failure so to qualify could have a Material Adverse
Effect on such Borrower.
SECTION 3.2 POWER, AUTHORITY, CONSENTS.
Each Borrower has the power to execute, deliver and perform the Loan
Documents to be executed by it. Each Borrower has the power to borrow hereunder
and has taken all necessary action, corporate or otherwise, to authorize the
borrowing hereunder on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Borrower
has taken all necessary action, corporate or otherwise, to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to be executed by it.
No consent or approval of any Person (including, without limitation, any
stockholder of any Borrower), no consent or approval of any landlord or
mortgagee, no waiver of any Lien or right of distraint or other similar right
and no consent, license, certificate of need, approval, authorization or
declaration of any governmental authority, bureau or agency, is or will be
required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by each
Borrower, or the validity or enforcement of the Loan Documents, except as set
forth on Schedule 3.2 hereto, each of which either has been duly and validly
obtained on or prior to the date hereof and is now in full force and effect, or
is designated on Schedule 3.2 as waived by the Required Banks.
-25-
SECTION 3.3 NO VIOLATION OF LAW OR AGREEMENTS.
The execution and delivery by each Borrower of each Loan Document to
which it is a party and performance by it hereunder and thereunder, will not
violate any provision of law and will not conflict with or result in a breach of
any order, writ, injunction, ordinance, resolution, decree, or other similar
document or instrument of any court or governmental authority, bureau or agency,
domestic or foreign, or any certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other
organizational document of each Borrower, or create (with or without the giving
of notice or lapse of time, or both) a default under or breach of any agreement,
bond, note or indenture to which any Borrower is a party, or by which any
Borrower is bound or any of their respective properties or assets is affected,
except for such defaults and breaches which in the aggregate could not have a
Material Adverse Effect on the Borrowers, or result in the imposition of any
Lien of any nature whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets owned by or
used in connection with the business of each Borrower.
SECTION 3.4 DUE EXECUTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEABILITY.
This Agreement and each other Loan Document to which each Borrower is
a party has been duly executed and delivered by each Borrower that is a party
thereto and each constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of each
Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
or other similar laws, now or hereafter in effect, relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and except that the remedy of
specific performance and other equitable remedies are subject to judicial
discretion.
SECTION 3.5 TITLE TO PROPERTIES.
Each of the Borrowers has good and marketable title in fee simple to,
or valid leasehold interests in, all real property necessary or used in the
ordinary course of its business, except for such defects in title as could not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.6 JUDGMENTS, ACTIONS, PROCEEDINGS.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3.6 hereto, there are no outstanding
judgments, investigations, actions or proceedings, including, without
limitation, any Environmental Proceeding, pending before any court or
governmental authority, bureau or agency, with respect to or, to the best of
each Borrower's knowledge, threatened against or affecting such Borrower or any
of its assets involving, in the case of any court proceeding, a claim in excess
of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand ($250,000) Dollars, nor, to the best of each
Borrower's knowledge, is there any reasonable basis for the institution of any
such action or proceeding that is probable of assertion, nor are there any
pending actions or proceedings in which any Borrower is a plaintiff or
complainant.
SECTION 3.7 NO DEFAULTS, COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3.7 hereto, none of the Borrowers is
in default under any agreement, ordinance, resolution, decree, bond, note,
indenture, order or judgment to
-26-
which it is a party or by which it is bound, or any other agreement or other
instrument by which any of the properties or assets owned by it or used in the
conduct of its business is affected, which default could have a Material Adverse
Effect on such Borrower. Each Borrower has complied and is in compliance in all
respects with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations, resolutions,
ordinances, decrees and other similar documents and instruments of all courts
and governmental authorities, bureaus and agencies, domestic and foreign,
including, without limitation, all applicable provisions of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. Section 12101-12213) and the regulations issued
thereunder and all applicable Environmental Laws and Regulations, non-compliance
with which could have a Material Adverse Effect on such Borrower.
SECTION 3.8 BURDENSOME DOCUMENTS.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3.8 hereto, none of the Borrowers is a
party to or bound by, nor are any of the properties or assets owned by any of
the Borrowers used in the conduct of their respective businesses affected by,
any agreement, ordinance, resolution, decree, bond, note, indenture, order or
judgment, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to any
Environmental Liability, that materially and adversely affects their respective
businesses, assets or conditions, financial or otherwise.
SECTION 3.9 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; PROJECTIONS.
(a) Each of the Financial Statements is complete and presents
fairly the consolidated financial position of HCRI and its Subsidiaries as at
its date, and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP. None of the Borrowers
to which any of the Financial Statements relates, has any material obligation,
liability or commitment, direct or contingent (including, without limitation,
any Environmental Liability), that is not reflected in the Financial Statements.
There has been no material adverse change in the financial position or
operations of any of the Borrowers since the date of the latest balance sheet
included in the Financial Statements (the "LATEST BALANCE SHEET"). Each
Borrower's fiscal year is the twelve-month period ending on December 31 in each
year.
(b) The Projections have been prepared on the basis of the
assumptions accompanying them and reflect as of the date thereof HCRI's good
faith projections, after reasonable analysis, of the matters set forth therein,
based on such assumptions.
SECTION 3.10 TAX RETURNS.
Each Borrower has filed all federal, state and local tax returns
required to be filed by it and has not failed to pay any taxes, or interest and
penalties relating thereto, on or before the due dates thereof. Except to the
extent that reserves therefor are reflected in the Financial Statements: (i)
there are no material federal, state or local tax liabilities of any of the
Borrowers, due or to become due for any tax year ended on or prior to the date
of the Latest Balance Sheet relating to such entity, whether incurred in respect
of or measured by the income of such entity, that are not properly reflected in
the Latest Balance Sheet relating to such entity, and (ii) there are no material
claims pending or, to the knowledge of each of the Borrowers, proposed or
-27-
threatened against such Borrower for past federal, state or local taxes, except
those, if any, as to which proper reserves are reflected in the Financial
Statements.
SECTION 3.11 INTANGIBLE ASSETS.
Each Borrower possesses all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade
names, and copyrights, and rights with respect to the foregoing, necessary to
conduct its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, without
any conflict with the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, and
copyrights and rights with respect to the foregoing, of any other Person.
SECTION 3.12 REGULATION U.
No part of the proceeds received by any of the Borrowers from the
Loans will be used directly or indirectly for: (a) any purpose other than as set
forth in Section 2.8 hereof, or (b) the purpose of purchasing or carrying, or
for payment in full or in part of Indebtedness that was incurred for the
purposes of purchasing or carrying, any "margin stock", as such term is defined
in Section 221.3 of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, 12 C.F.R., Chapter II, Part 221.
SECTION 3.13 NAME CHANGES, MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13 hereto, none of the Borrowers has
within the six-year period immediately preceding the date of this Agreement
changed its name, been the surviving entity of a merger or consolidation, or,
except in the ordinary course of business, acquired all or substantially all of
the assets of any Person.
SECTION 3.14 FULL DISCLOSURE.
Neither the Financial Statements nor any certificate, opinion, or any
other statement made or furnished in writing to the Agent or any Bank by or on
behalf of the Borrowers in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated herein, contains any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained
therein or herein not misleading, as of the date such statement was made. There
is no fact known to any Borrower that has, or would in the now foreseeable
future have, a Material Adverse Effect on such Borrower, which fact has not been
set forth herein, in the Financial Statements or any certificate, opinion or
other written statement so made or furnished to the Agent or the Banks.
SECTION 3.15 LICENSES AND APPROVALS.
(a) Each Borrower has all necessary licenses, permits and
governmental authorizations, including, without limitation, licenses, permits
and authorizations arising under or relating to Environmental Laws and
Regulations, to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as
now conducted, the absence of which would have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Borrowers.
-28-
(b) To the best of HCRI's knowledge, no violation exists of any
applicable law pertaining to the ownership or operation of any Facility or any
Operator that would have a reasonable likelihood of leading to revocation of any
license necessary for the operation of such Facility.
SECTION 3.16 ERISA.
(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.16 hereto, no Employee
Benefit Plan is maintained or has ever been maintained by any Loan Party or any
ERISA Affiliate, nor has any Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate ever contributed
to a Multiemployer Plan.
(b) There are no agreements which will provide payments to any
officer, employee, shareholder or highly compensated individual which will be
"parachute payments" under 280G of the Code that are nondeductible to any Loan
Party and which will be subject to tax under Section 4999 of the Code for which
any Loan Party will have a material withholding liability.
SECTION 3.17 REIT STATUS.
HCRI currently has REIT Status and has maintained REIT Status on a
continuous basis since its formation. None of the Subsidiaries of HCRI currently
has REIT Status.

ARTICLE 9. THE AGENT.
SECTION 9.1 APPOINTMENT, POWERS AND IMMUNITIES.
Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act
as its agent hereunder and the other Loan Documents with such powers as are
specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not
be a trustee for any Bank. The Agent shall not be responsible to the Banks for
any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any certificate or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents, or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or
for the collectibility of the Loans or for any failure by any Borrower to
perform any of its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The
Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable,
except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for
the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by
it with reasonable care. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or the other Loan Documents or in
connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence
or willful misconduct.
SECTION 9.2 RELIANCE BY AGENT.
The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or
other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram or
cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent
by or on behalf of the proper person or persons, and upon advice and statements
of legal counsel, independent accountants and other
-46-
experts selected by the Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or the other
Loan Documents in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Banks, and
such instructions of the Required Banks and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks.
SECTION 9.3 EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a
Default (other than the non-payment of principal of or interest on Loans) unless
the Agent has received notice from a Bank or the Borrower specifying such
Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default". In the event that
the Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Agent shall
give notice thereof to the Banks (and shall give each Bank notice of each such
non-payment). The Agent shall (subject to Section 9.7 hereof) take such action
with respect to such Default as shall be directed in writing by the Required
Banks (or all of the Banks, if required by the terms of this Agreement).
SECTION 9.4 RIGHTS AS A BANK.
With respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans made by
it, the Agent in its capacity as a Bank hereunder shall have the same rights and
powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were
not acting as the Agent, and the term "Bank" or "Banks" shall, unless the
context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The
Agent and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Bank)
accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust or other business with each Borrower or its Affiliates, as if it were not
acting as the Agent, and the Agent may accept fees and other consideration from
each Borrower or its Affiliates, for services in connection with this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise without having to account for
the same to the Banks.
SECTION 9.5 INDEMNIFICATION.
The Banks shall indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by
each Borrower under Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof), ratably in accordance with
the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made by the Banks (or, if no Loans
are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective
Revolving Credit Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other documents contemplated
by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated by or
referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that each
Borrower is obligated to pay under Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof, but excluding
normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its
agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any
such other documents, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any of the
foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the party to be indemnified.
-47-
SECTION 9.6 NON-RELIANCE ON AGENT AND OTHER BANKS.
Each Bank agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on
the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Borrower and
decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be required to keep itself
informed as to the performance or observance by each Borrower of this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for
herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of each Borrower. Except
for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to
be furnished to the Banks by the Agent hereunder or the other Loan Documents,
the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any
credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or
business of each Borrower, that may come into the possession of the Agent or any
of its Affiliates.
SECTION 9.7 FAILURE TO ACT.
Except for action expressly required of the Agent hereunder, the Agent
shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or
thereunder unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks
against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action.
SECTION 9.8 RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF AGENT.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as
provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 10
days' prior written notice thereof to the Banks and each Borrower and the Agent
may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Banks. Upon any
such resignation or removal, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint
a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the
Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Required Banks' removal
of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks,
after consultation with the Borrowers, appoint a successor Agent which shall be
a bank with a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any
retiring Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of
this Article 9 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 the Agent.
SECTION 9.9 SHARING OF PAYMENTS.
(a) Prior to any acceleration by the Agent and the Banks of the
Obligations:
-48-
(i) in the event that any Bank shall obtain payment in
respect of a Note, or interest thereon, whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, and whether through the exercise of a right of banker's
lien, set-off or counterclaim against each Borrower or otherwise, in a
greater proportion than any such payment obtained by any other Bank in
respect of the corresponding Note held by it, then the Bank so receiving
such greater proportionate payment shall purchase for cash from the other
Bank or Banks such portion of each such other Bank's or Banks' Loan as
shall be necessary to cause such Bank receiving the proportionate
overpayment to share the excess payment with each Bank; and
(ii) in the event that any Bank shall obtain payment in
respect of any Interest Rate Contract to which such Bank is a party,
whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and whether through the exercise of a
right of banker's lien, set-off or counterclaim against each Borrower or
otherwise, such Bank shall be permitted to retain the full amount of such
payment and shall not be required to share such payment with any other
Bank.
(b) Upon or following any acceleration by the Agent and the Banks
of the Obligations, in the event that any Bank shall obtain payment in respect
of a Note, or interest or Fees thereon, or in respect of an Interest Rate
Contract to which such Bank is a party, whether voluntarily or involuntarily,
and whether through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, set-off or
counterclaim against each Borrower or otherwise, in a greater proportion than
any such payment obtained by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount
of the corresponding Note held by such Bank and any Interest Rate Contract to
which such Bank is a party, then the Bank so receiving such greater
proportionate payment shall purchase for cash from the other Bank or Banks such
portion of each such other Bank's or Banks' Loan as shall be necessary to cause
such Bank receiving the proportionate overpayment to share the excess payment
with each Bank. For the purposes of this subsection 9.9(b), payments on Notes
received by each Bank shall be in the same proportion as the proportion of: (A)
the sum of: (x) the Obligations owing to such Bank in respect of the Note held
by such Bank, plus (y) the Obligations owing to such Bank in respect of Interest
Rate Contracts to which such Bank is party, if any, to (B) the sum of: (x) the
Obligations owing to all of the Banks in respect of all of the Notes, plus (y)
the Obligations owing to all of the Banks in respect of all Interest Rate
Contracts to which any Bank is a party; provided, however, that, with respect to
subsections 9.9(a)(i) and (b) above, if all or any portion of such excess
payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from the Bank that received the
proportionate overpayment, such purchase of Loans or payment of benefits, as the
case may be, shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned,
to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
ARTICLE 10. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
SECTION 10.1 FEES AND EXPENSES; INDEMNITY.

Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby (other than a claim or action resulting from the gross negligence,
willful misconduct, or intentional violation of law by the Agent and or the
Banks).

indemnify each Bank and the Agent and each of their respective directors,
officers, employees, attorneys, agents and Affiliates against, and hold each of
them harmless from, any loss, liabilities, damages, penalties, claims, costs and

incurred by any of them arising out of, resulting from or in any manner
connected with, the execution, delivery and performance of each of the Loan
Documents, the Loans and any and all transactions related to or consummated in

Agent or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys,
agents or Affiliates arising out of or related to any Environmental Liability or
Environmental Proceeding, or in investigating, preparing for, defending against,
or providing evidence, producing documents or taking any other action in respect
of any commenced or threatened litigation, administrative proceeding or
investigation under any federal securities law or any other statute of any
jurisdiction, or any regulation, or at common law or otherwise against the

its affiliates in any document or schedule filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or any other governmental body; (ii) any omission or alleged
omission to state any material fact required to be stated in such document or

-50-
liabilities of any Borrower to the Agent and the Banks hereunder, at common law

respect of the issuance of any Note, or in connection with the filing or
recording of any assignments, mortgages, financing statements, or other
documents (whether measured by the amount of Indebtedness secured or otherwise)
as contemplated by this Agreement, then each Borrower will pay any such tax and
all interest and penalties, if any, and will indemnify the Banks and the Agent
against and save each of them harmless from any loss or damage resulting from or
arising out of the nonpayment or delay in payment of any such tax. If any such
tax or taxes shall be assessed or levied against any Bank or any other holder of
a Note, such Bank, or such other holder, as the case may be, may notify each
Borrower and make immediate payment thereof, together with interest or penalties
in connection therewith, and shall thereupon be entitled to and shall receive
immediate reimbursement therefor from each Borrower. Notwithstanding any other
provision contained in this Agreement, the covenants and agreements of the
Borrowers in this Section 10.2 shall survive payment of the Notes and the
termination of this Agreement.

succeeding Business Day. If any payment of principal or interest becomes due on
a day other than a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and such extension shall be included in computing interest in
connection with such payment. All payments hereunder and under the Notes shall
be made without set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary
in order that all such payments shall not be less than the amounts otherwise

other similar charges of whatever nature imposed by any government or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, other than any tax (except
those referred to in clause (ii) below) on or measured by the net income of the
Bank to which any such payment is due pursuant to applicable federal, state and
local income tax laws, and (ii) deduction of amounts equal to the taxes on or
measured by the net income of such Bank payable by such Bank with respect to the
amount by which the payments required to be made under this sentence exceed the
amounts otherwise specified to be paid in this Agreement and the Notes). Upon
payment in full of any Note, the Bank holding such Note shall mark the Note
"Paid" and return it to the Borrowers.

SECTION 10.4 SURVIVAL OF AGREEMENTS AND REPRESENTATIONS; CONSTRUCTION.

property of the Borrower, and the proceeds thereof, now or hereafter held or
received by or in transit to any Bank or the Agent from or for such Borrower,
whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise,
and any such deposits, sums, monies, securities and other property, may at any
time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default be
set-off, appropriated and applied by any Bank or the Agent against any of the
Obligations, whether or not any of such Obligations is then due or is secured by
any collateral.
SECTION 10.6 MODIFICATIONS, CONSENTS AND WAIVERS; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
No modification, amendment or waiver of or with respect to any
provision of this Agreement, any Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents and
all other agreements, instruments and documents delivered pursuant hereto or
thereto, nor consent to any departure by any Borrower from any of the terms or
conditions thereof, shall in any event be effective unless it shall be in
writing and signed by the Agent and each Bank except that: (i) any modification
or amendment of, or waiver or consent with respect to, Article 4 shall be

10.6) may be signed only by the Agent and the Required Banks. Any such waiver or

supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter
hereof.
SECTION 10.7 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; COUNTERCLAIMS.
Each and every right granted to the Agent and the Banks hereunder or
under any other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or
allowed it by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time

Note to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right shall
-52-
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. The due payment and performance of the Obligations shall be without
regard to any counterclaim, right of offset or any other claim whatsoever that
any Borrower may have against any Bank or the Agent and without regard to any
other obligation of any nature whatsoever that any Bank or the Agent may have to
any Borrower, and no such counterclaim or offset shall be asserted by any
Borrower (unless such counter-claim or offset would, under applicable law, be
permanently and irrevocably lost if not brought in such action) in any action,
suit or proceeding instituted by any Bank or the Agent for payment or
performance of the Obligations.
SECTION 10.8 FURTHER ASSURANCES.
At any time and from time to time, upon the request of the Agent, each
Borrower shall execute, deliver and acknowledge or cause to be executed,

-54-
agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement is independent and

such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be
otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the

condition exists.
SECTION 10.12 BINDING EFFECT; NO ASSIGNMENT OR DELEGATION BY
BORROWERS.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each
of the Borrowers and their respective successors and to the benefit of the Banks
and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns. The rights and
obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement shall not be assigned or
delegated without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Required Banks,
and any purported assignment or delegation without such consent shall be void.
SECTION 10.13 ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS BY BANKS.
(a) Each Bank may assign to one or more banks or other entities
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment, the
Loans owing to it, and the Note held by it); provided, however, that: (i) the
Borrowers and the Agent must give prior written consent to such assignment
(unless such assignment is to an Affiliate of such Bank or to another Bank),
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance,
and a processing fee of $3,500.00, (iii) each such assignment shall be of a
constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of the assigning Bank's rights
and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) the amount of the Revolving Credit
Commitment of the assigning Bank being assigned pursuant to each such assignment
(determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such
assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 and shall be an integral
multiple of $1,000,000, and (v) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible
Assignee. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date
shall be at least five (5) Business Days after the execution thereof: (x) the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder, and (y) the
Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance,
relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining
portion of an assigning Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Bank shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in clause (a)(i) above, no consent of the Borrowers shall be required for an
assignment if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the
Bank assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with
each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided
in such Assignment and
-55-
Acceptance, such assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes
no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations
made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or
any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning
Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to the financial condition of each Borrower or the performance or
observance by each Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or
any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee
confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of
such financial statements and such other documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Bank or any other Bank and based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi)
such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on
its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to
the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in
accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this
Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank.
(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by
an assigning Bank and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee,
together with any Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall: (i) accept
such Assignment and Acceptance, and (ii) give prompt notice thereof to the
Borrowers. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the
Borrowers, at their own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent in
exchange for the surrendered Note a new Note to the order of such Eligible
Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Bank has
retained a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, a new Note to the order of the
assigning Bank in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment retained by
it hereunder. Such new Note shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note, shall be dated the
effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in
substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto.
(d) Each Bank may, without the prior consent of the Agent, the
other Banks or the Borrowers, sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit
Commitment, the Loans owing to it, and the Note held by it); provided, however,
that: (i) such Bank's obligations under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for
the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Bank shall remain the holder of
any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Borrowers, the Agent
and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in
connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement.
-56-
(e) Any Bank may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section
10.13, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant, any information relating to any Borrower furnished to such Bank by
or on behalf of such Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the
assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to
preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to such
Borrower received by it from such Bank.
(f) Anything in this Section 10.13 to the contrary
notwithstanding, any Bank may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans
and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank (and its transferees) as collateral
security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank.
No such assignment shall release the assigning Bank from its obligations
hereunder.
SECTION 10.14 DELIVERY OF TAX FORMS.
Each Bank that is not organized under the laws of the United States or
a state thereof shall:
(a) deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent, on or prior to the
date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the date on which
it becomes a Bank hereunder, two accurate and duly completed executed
copies of United States IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or
successor applicable form, as the case may be;
(b) deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent two further accurate
and complete executed copies of any such form or certification on or before
the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete
and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent
form previously delivered by it to the Borrowers; and
(c) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such
forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrowers or
the Agent; unless in any such case under clause (b) above an event
(including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation)
has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise
be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would
prevent such Bank from duly completing and delivering any such form with
respect to it and such Bank so advises the Borrower and the Agent. Such
Bank shall certify with respect to Form W-8BEN or W8ECI, as appropriate
that (i) it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without
deduction or withholding of any United States Federal income taxes; (ii) to
the extent legally entitled to do so, that it is entitled to receive
payments under this Agreement without, or at a reduced rate of, deduction
or withholding of any United States Federal income taxes; or (iii) that it
is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each
Person not organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof
that is an assignee hereunder shall, prior to the effectiveness of the
related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements
required pursuant to this Section 10.14.

WAIVES ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED ON ANY
ALLEGED LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR
ANY SIMILAR BASIS. EACH BORROWER SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING TO ASSERT ANY DEFENSE GIVEN OR ALLOWED UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE

FORM OF NOTE
$____________ DATED: JULY 26, 2006
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each of the undersigned (collectively, the
"BORROWERS"), hereby jointly and severally promises to pay to the order of
___________________________ (the "BANK") on the Revolving Credit Commitment
Termination Date, the principal sum of _____________________ Dollars
($__________), or such lesser amount as shall be equal to the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Loans outstanding on the close of business on the
Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date made by the Bank to the Borrowers;
and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the date
thereof at the rates per annum and for the periods set forth in or established
by the Agreement and calculated as provided therein.
All indebtedness outstanding under this Note shall bear interest (computed
in the same manner as interest on this Note prior to the relevant due date) at
the applicable Post-Default Rate for all periods when an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, commencing on the occurrence of such Event of
Default until such Event of Default has been cured or waived as acknowledged in
writing by the Agent, and all of such interest shall be payable on demand.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of the
Borrowers to make payments of interest shall be subject to the limitation that
payments of interest shall not be required to be made to the Bank to the extent
that the Bank's receipt thereof would not be permissible under the law or laws
applicable to the Bank limiting rates of interest which may be charged or
collected by the Bank. Any such payments of interest which are not made as a
result of the limitation referred to in the preceding sentence shall be made by
the Borrowers to the Bank on the earliest interest payment date or dates on
which the receipt thereof would be permissible under the laws applicable to the
Bank limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by the Bank.
Payments of both principal and interest on this Note are to be made to the
office of KeyBank National Association, as Agent, at 127 Public Square,
Cleveland, Ohio 44114-1306 or such other place as the holder hereof shall
designate to the Borrowers in writing, in lawful money of the United States of
America in immediately available funds.
This Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the
benefits of, the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated of even date
herewith by and among the Borrowers, the Banks signatory thereto (including the
Bank) and the Agent (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the
"AGREEMENT"). [This Note supersedes and is given in replacement of the Note
dated June 22, 2005 made by the Borrowers to the order of the Bank in the
original principal amount of $___________ but does not constitute a novation,
extinguishment or termination of the obligations evidenced thereby.] Capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings
ascribed thereto in the Agreement.
The Bank is hereby authorized by the Borrowers to record on the schedule to
this Note (or on a supplemental schedule thereto) the amount of each Loan made
by the Bank to the Borrowers and the amount of each payment or repayment of
principal of such Loans received by the Bank, it being understood, however, that
failure to make any such notation shall not affect the rights of the Bank or the
obligations of the Borrowers hereunder in respect of this Note. The Bank may, at
its option, record such matters in its internal records rather than on such
schedule.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the principal amount and
accrued interest on this Note may be declared due and payable in the manner and
with the effect provided in the Agreement.
The Borrowers shall pay costs and expenses of collection, including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements in the event that any
action, suit or proceeding is brought by the holder hereof to collect this Note.
THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS RULES PERTAINING
TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS.
