any public or private issuance of Indebtedness or equity (other than in
connection with any dividend reinvestment program(s)), HCRI shall promptly
notify the Agent of such issuance and repay the Loans in an amount equal to the
aggregate Net Issuance Proceeds of such issuance immediately upon receipt
thereof.
SECTION 2.6 INTEREST.
(a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the
account of each Bank interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made
by such Bank for the period commencing on the date of such Loan until such Loan
shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:
(i) During such periods that such Loan is a
Base Rate Loan, the Alternate Base Rate;
(ii) During such periods that such Loan is a
LIBOR Loan, for each Interest Period relating thereto, the LIBOR Rate for such
Loan for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.
-23-
29
Notwithstanding subsection 2.6(a)(ii) above, upon receipt of a Rating of at
least BBB- or its equivalent from two Rating Agencies, the Borrowers may elect
to change to the "Alternative Applicable Margin", i.e. the pricing grid based on
such Rating as set forth in the definition of Alternate Applicable Margin in
Article 1 hereof with respect to LIBOR Loans. In order to elect the Alternate
Applicable Margin, the Borrowers shall give prior written notice to the Agent of
the receipt of the Ratings (together with written evidence thereof), which
election may be made only one time during the Credit Period. The Alternate
Applicable Margin shall become effective upon receipt of such notice by the
Agent and shall continue in effect at all times thereafter so long as the
Ratings are in effect. In the event that HCRI either loses its investment grade
Rating or any two Rating Agencies determine that its Rating falls below BBB- or
its equivalent, then the pricing grid with respect to LIBOR Loans shall
immediately revert back to and be determined in accordance with the table set
forth in the definition of "Applicable Margin" in Article 1 hereof for the
duration of the Credit Period.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers
shall pay interest on any Loan or any installment thereof, and on any other
amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder (to the extent permitted by law) which
are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) for the period commencing on the due date thereof until the same is
paid in full at the applicable Post-Default Rate.
(c) Except as provided in the next sentence, accrued
interest on each Loan shall be payable: (i) in the case of each Base Rate Loan,
quarterly on the Quarterly Dates, (ii) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, on the last
day of each Interest Period for such Loan (and, if such Interest Period exceeds
three months' duration, quarterly, commencing on the first quarterly anniversary
of the first day of such Interest Period), and (iii) in the case of any Loan,
upon the payment or repayment thereof or the conversion thereof into a Loan of
another Type (but only on the principal so paid, repaid or converted); provided,
however, this clause (iii) shall not apply in the case of a conversion of a Base
Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan. Interest that is payable at the Post-Default Rate
shall be payable from time to time on demand of the Agent. Promptly after the
establishment of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein,
the Agent will notify the Banks and the Borrowers thereof, PROVIDED THAT the
failure of the Agent to so notify the Banks and the Borrowers shall not affect
the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or under any of the Notes in any
respect.
-24-
30
(d) In addition to the interest accruing under
subsection (a) above, in the event the daily average amount of outstanding Loans
exceeds 50% of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment for any period in excess of
nine (9) consecutive months (each, a "TEST PERIOD"), the Borrowers shall pay
additional interest on the daily average amount of the Loans outstanding during
such Test Period at a rate per annum equal to one-eighth of one (.125%) percent.
Such additional interest shall be payable to the Agent for the account of each
Bank on the first Quarterly Date immediately succeeding the last day of each
Test Period and if any such Quarterly Date would otherwise end after the
Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, on the Revolving Credit Commitment
Termination Date.
(e) Anything in this Agreement or any of the Notes 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 any Bank to the extent that such Bank's receipt
thereof would not be permissible under the law or laws applicable to such Bank
limiting rates of interest that may be charged or collected by such Bank. Any
such payments of interest that are not made as a result of the limitation
referred to in the preceding sentence shall be made by the Borrowers to such
Bank on the earliest interest payment date or dates on which the receipt thereof
would be permissible under the laws applicable to such Bank limiting rates of
interest that may be charged or collected by such Bank. Such deferred interest
shall not bear interest.
SECTION 2.7 FEES.
(a) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the
Banks according to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, a
non-refundable origination fee (the "ORIGINATION FEE"), as set forth in a
separate written agreement among the Borrowers and Fleet.
(b) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the
account of the Banks, PRO RATA according to their respective Commitments, a
commitment fee (the "COMMITMENT FEE") on the daily average amount of such Bank's
Unused Commitment, for the period from the date hereof to and including the
earlier of (i) the date such Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment is terminated,
and (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, at the rate per annum
equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage from time to time in effect on the amount
of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. The accrued Commitment Fee shall be
payable on the Quarterly Dates, and on the earlier of (i) the date the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment is terminated, or (ii) the Revolving Credit
Commitment Termination Date, and in the event the Borrowers reduce the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment as provided in subsection 2.5(b) hereof, on the
effective date of such reduction.
-25-
31
(c) The Borrowers shall (i) pay to Key, for its own
account, an annual agency fee (the "AGENCY FEE"), and (ii) pay to Fleet, for its
own account, an arrangement fee (the "ARRANGEMENT FEE"), as set forth in a
separate written agreement among the Borrowers and Fleet.
(d) The Origination Fee, the Commitment Fee, the
Agency Fee and the Arrangement Fee are hereinafter sometimes referred to
individually as a "FEE" and collectively as the "FEES".
SECTION 2.8 USE OF PROCEEDS OF LOANS.
The proceeds of the Loans hereunder may be used by
the Borrowers solely as follows: (a) up to $87,288,125.00 for the repayment in
full of the outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued interest on,
certain indebtedness of HCRI existing pursuant to the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement dated as of September 8, 1994 among HCRI, the bank's signatory
thereto and National City Bank, as Agent, (b) to acquire Facilities, (c) to
extend or acquire loans secured by Mortgages, (d) to finance Construction
Investments, (e) for investments that are not prohibited under Section 7.8
hereof, and (f) for general working capital purposes.
SECTION 2.9 COMPUTATIONS.
Interest on all Loans and each Fee shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including
the first day but excluding the last) occurring in the period for which
payable.
SECTION 2.10 MINIMUM AMOUNTS OF BORROWINGS,
CONVERSIONS AND REPAYMENTS.
Except for borrowings, conversions and repayments
that exhaust the full remaining amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (in
the case of borrowings) or result in the conversion or repayment of all Loans of
a particular Type (in the case of conversions or repayments) or conversions made
pursuant to Section 2.17, subsection 2.18(b) or Section 2.20 hereof, each
borrowing from each Bank, each conversion of Loans of one Type into Loans of
another Type and each repayment of principal of Loans hereunder shall be in a
minimum amount of One Million ($1,000,000) Dollars, in the case of Base Rate
Loans, and Three Million ($3,000,000) Dollars, in the case of LIBOR Loans, and
in either case if in excess thereof, in integral multiples of One Hundred
Thousand ($100,000) Dollars (borrowings, conversions and repayments of different
Types of Loans at the same time hereunder to be deemed separate borrowings,
conversions and repayments for purposes of the foregoing, one for each Type).
The Agent and the Borrowers may make immaterial mutually convenient adjustments
to the thresholds and multiples set forth above in respect of LIBOR Loans.
-26-
32
SECTION 2.11 TIME AND METHOD OF PAYMENTS.
---------------------------
All payments of principal, interest, Fees and other
amounts (including indemnities) payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made
in Dollars, in immediately available funds, to the Agent at the Principal Office
not later than 11:00 a.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, on the date on which such
payment shall become due (and the Agent or any Bank for whose account any such
payment is to be made may, but shall not be obligated to, debit the amount of
any such payment that is not made by such time to any ordinary deposit account
of the Borrowers, or any of them, with the Agent or such Bank, as the case may
be). Additional provisions relating to payments are set forth in Section 10.3
hereof. Each payment received by the Agent hereunder for the account of a Bank
shall be paid promptly to such Bank, in like funds, for the account of such
Bank's Lending Office for the Loan in respect of which such payment is made.
SECTION 2.12 LENDING OFFICES.
The Loans of each Type made by each Bank shall be
made and maintained at such Bank's applicable Lending Office for Loans of such
Type.
SECTION 2.13 SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS.
The failure of any Bank to make any Loan to be made
by it on the date 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 Banks PRO RATA
according to the amount of their respective Unused Commitments; (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.
-27-
33
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
-28-
34
to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct holder of Loans in
the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein 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
-29-
35
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 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
-30-
36
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.
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.
-31-
37
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:
(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.
-32-
38
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.
-33-
39
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

any Subsidiary.
(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 corporate action to authorize the

-34-
40
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.
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 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
-35-
41
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 such
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 which it is a party or by which it

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.

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 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

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.
-62-
68
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
by the Required Banks.
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, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, normal
administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of
-63-
69
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.
SECTION 9.6 NON-RELIANCE ON AGENT AND OTHER
BANKS.

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
-64-
70
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:
(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:
-65-
71
(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.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers will promptly pay all

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
Agent, the Banks or any of their officers, directors, affiliates, agents or
Affiliates, that is alleged to arise out of or is based upon: (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact of any Borrower and
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
schedule, or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which made, not misleading; (iii) any acts, practices or
omission or alleged acts, practices or omissions of any Borrower or its agents
related to the making of any acquisition, purchase of shares or assets pursuant
thereto, financing of such purchases or the consummation of any other
transactions contemplated by any such acquisitions that are alleged to be in
violation of any federal securities law or of any other statute, regulation or
other law of any jurisdiction applicable to the making of any such acquisition,
the purchase of shares or assets pursuant thereto, the financing of such
purchases or the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by any such
acquisition; or (iv) any withdrawals, termination or cancellation of any such

shall be in addition to any other obligations or liabilities of any Borrower to
the Agent and the Banks hereunder, at common law or otherwise. The provisions of
this Section 10.1 shall survive the payment of the Notes and the termination of
this Agreement.
SECTION 10.2 TAXES.
If, under any law in effect on the date of the
closing of any Loan hereunder, or under any retroactive provision of any law
subsequently enacted, it shall be determined that any Federal, state or local
tax is payable in 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
-68-
74
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.
SECTION 10.3 PAYMENTS.
As set forth in Article 2 hereof, all payments by
each Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other charges
(including any indemnities) shall be made to the Agent at the Principal Office
of the Agent, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately
available funds, by wire transfer or otherwise, not later than 11:00 A.M.
Cleveland, Ohio time on the date such payment is due. Any such payment made on
such date but after such time shall, if the amount paid bears interest, be
deemed to have been made on, and interest shall continue to accrue and be
payable thereon until, the next 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 specified to be paid under this Agreement and
the Notes (after withholding for or on account of: (i) any present or future
taxes, levies, imposts, duties or 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.
All agreements, representations and warranties made
herein shall survive the delivery of this Agreement and the Notes. The headings
used in this Agreement and the table of contents are for convenience only and
shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof. All uses herein of the
masculine
-69-
75
gender or of singular or plural terms shall be deemed to include uses of the
feminine or neuter gender, or plural or singular terms, as the context may
require.
SECTION 10.5 LIEN ON AND SET-OFF OF DEPOSITS.
As security for the due payment and performance of
all the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Banks a Lien on any and all deposits or other sums at any time
credited by or due from the Agent or any Bank to the Borrower, whether in
regular or special depository accounts or otherwise, and any and all monies,
securities and other 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 required to be signed only by the Agent and the Required Banks
(PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the consummation of a Loan by a Bank shall be deemed,
with respect to such Loan only, to have the effect of the execution by such Bank
of a waiver of, or consent to a departure from, any term or provision of Article
4 that has not been satisfied as of the date of the consummation of such Loan);
and (ii) any modification or amendment of, or waiver or consent with respect to,
Articles 1 (other than the definition of "Required Banks" or any other defined
term which is used in the application of any of the provisions of Article 2), 5,
6, 7, 8 (other than Section 8.1 hereof) and 10 (other than this Section 10.6)
may be signed only by the Agent and the Required Banks. Any such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for
which given. No consent to or demand on any Borrower in any case shall, of
itself, entitle it to any other or further
-70-
76
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Banks,
the Agent and the Borrowers and 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 to time. No failure on the part of the Agent or any Bank or
the holder of any Note to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right shall
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 counterclaim 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, delivered and acknowledged, such further documents and instruments
and do such other acts and things as the Agent may reasonably request in order
to fully effect the purposes of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any
other agreements, instruments and documents delivered pursuant hereto or in
connection with the Loans.

SECTION 10.10 COUNTERPARTS.
This Agreement may be signed in any number of
counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were
upon the same instrument.
SECTION 10.11 SEVERABILITY.
The provisions of this Agreement are severable,
and if any clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in
whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability
shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such
jurisdiction and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any
other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision in this Agreement in any
jurisdiction. Each of the covenants, agreements and conditions contained in this
Agreement is independent and compliance by the Borrower with any of them shall
not excuse non-compliance by the Borrower with any other. All covenants
hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or
condition is not permitted by any of 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 occurrence of a Default or an Event of
Default if such action is taken or 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.
-73-
79
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),
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,

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).
(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 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
-74-
80
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.
-75-
81
(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.

Each Bank that is not organized under the laws of the
United States or a state thereof shall:

Borrowers or Fleet;
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 Fleet. Such Bank shall
-76-
82
certify (i) in the case of a Form 1001 or 4224 that is provided pursuant to

deduction or withholding of any United States Federal income taxes; and (iii)
and in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, that it is entitled to an exemption from
United States backup withholding tax. Each Person not organized under the laws
