pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Borrowers,
jointly and severally, agree to borrow on a revolving basis from the Lender from
time to time the principal amount (the "Loan") not to exceed at any time
outstanding the lesser of (i) the Credit Facility Committed Amount, or (ii) the
Borrowing Base.
(b) The obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loan
shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note of even date herewith (as
further amended, restated, substituted, extended, renewed and otherwise modified
from time to time, the "Note") payable to the Lender in the form attached hereto
as EXHIBIT A. The Note shall bear interest and shall be repaid by the Borrowers
in the manner and at the times set forth in the Note.
(c) The conditions precedent for making an advance
under the Loan shall be as set forth in this Agreement. Sums borrowed and repaid
may be readvanced under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Advances
shall be made by the Lender on a pro rata basis based on their pro rata shares
of the Credit Facility Committed Amount.
(d) The Borrowers will prepare a Borrowing Base
Report (each a "Borrowing Base Report") attached hereto as EXHIBIT B which must
also be certified by the Borrowers listing for each of the Facilities (i) the
applicable Appraised Value (ii) Total Development Cost, and (iii) its status as
of the most recent reporting date as a Pool A, Pool B, Pool C or Pool D Project.
The initial Borrowing Base Report is attached hereto as EXHIBIT C. The Borrower
shall submit updated Borrowing Base Reports in connection with each request for
an advance or a certification of no deterioration in the pool status of any
Facility since the last Borrowing Base Report and will also submit current a
current Borrowing Base Report within forty-five (45) days after the end of each
of the Borrowers' fiscal quarters. The Borrowing Base Report will be based on
appraisals obtained by the Lender and other information on the Facilities
provided by the Borrowers or obtained by the Lender. The Borrowing Base shall be
computed based on the Borrowing Base Report most recently prepared by the
Borrowers and reviewed and accepted by the Lender. In the event the Borrowers
shall fail to furnish other current reports or information as reasonably
required by the Lender pursuant to the Financing Documents, or in the event the
Lender believes that a Borrowing Base Report is no longer accurate, the Lender
may, in its reasonable discretion exercised from time to time and without
limiting its other rights and remedies under the Financing Documents, upon
notice to the Borrowers and the expiration of a cure period of five (5) Banking
Days, designate any Facility as a Pool D Project or suspend the making of or
limit advances under the Loan. The Borrowing Base shall be subject to reduction
as a result of the following events: (i) the release of a Facility from the lien
of the applicable Deed of Trust, (ii) by the change of any Facility's status as
a Pool A or B Project to a Pool B or C Project or a Pool A, B or C Project to a
Pool D Project respectively as determined by the Lender. The Borrowing Base
shall be subject to increase as a result of the change of a Facility's status as
a Pool B, C or D Project to a Pool A as determined by the Lender.
15
21
(e) The Borrowers shall furnish to the Lender such
schedules, certificates, lists, records, reports, information and documents as
required by the Lender from time to time so that the Lender may, in its
reasonable discretion, determine the Borrowing Base.
(f) If at any time the aggregate principal amount of
the Loan outstanding exceeds the Borrowing Base, a borrowing base deficiency
("Borrowing Base Deficiency") shall exist. Each time a Borrowing Base Deficiency
exists, the Borrowers shall within three (3) Banking Days of notice thereof from
the Lender either pay the amount and/or add Facilities to increase the Borrowing
Base to an amount which is at least equal to the aggregate principal amount
outstanding under the Loan.
(g) The current Borrowing Base Report is attached
hereto as EXHIBIT C.
(h) As of the date hereof the Borrowers have
designated and the Lender has accepted each of the Facilities owned by the
Borrowers into the Borrowing Base as Facilities.
Section 2.2 Procedure for Advances.
(a) The Lender will make advances from time to time
upon receipt of written request from the Borrowers in the form designated by the
Lender, provided that after giving effect to the Borrowers' request, the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan would not exceed the lesser of the
Credit Facility Committed Amount or the Borrowing Base. Each advance under the
Loan shall be in an amount of not less than $1,000,000, and in increments of
$250,000 in excess thereof. Advances or the renewal of a Eurodollar Period shall
be requested by the Borrowers orally or in writing by 10:00 A.M. (Eastern time)
three (3) Banking Days prior to the Banking Day on which the funds will be
advanced. The Borrowers shall advise the Lender at the time of such notice which
Eurodollar Period they are selecting. The Lender shall have no obligation to
make any advance if at the time such advance is requested and/or is proposed to
be funded, there exists an Event of Default or an event which upon notice or
lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of Default under the Financing
Documents. If the Borrowers fail to advise the Lender three (3) Banking Days in
advance of the expiration of a Eurodollar Period of their intention to either
pay off such portion of the Loan or renew the applicable Eurodollar Period, it
shall be assumed by the Lender that the Eurodollar Period is to be renewed.
(b) In addition, if the Lender has reason to believe
a Default or an Event of Default has occurred, the Borrowers hereby irrevocably
authorize the Lender to make advances of the Loan at any time and from time to
time, without further request from or notice to the Borrowers, which the Lender,
in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to protect
the Lender's interests under this Agreement or otherwise, including, without
limitation, advances of the Loan made to cover interest on the Loan, fees,
and/or Enforcement Costs, prior to, on, or after the termination of this
Agreement, regardless of whether the aggregate amount of the advances of the
Loan which the Lender may make hereunder exceeds the Credit Facility Committed
Amount. The Lender shall have no obligation whatsoever to make any advance under
this subsection and the making of one or more advances under this subsection
shall not obligate the Lender to make other similar advances. Any such advances
will be evidenced by the Note secured by the Collateral and the Deeds of Trust.
16
22
Section 2.3 Fees.
2.3.1 Commitment Fee.
On or before the date of the Credit Facility Closing, the
Borrowers shall pay to the Lender a commitment fee of $90,000 (the "Commitment
Fee"). The Borrowers shall pay to the Lender an additional extension fee of
$90,000 on the earlier of (a) the original maturity date of the note if the note
is extended pursuant to its term or (b) if the currently proposed restructure of
the Master Credit Facility is not fully subscribed by a syndicate of lenders in
the aggregate principal sum of $350,000,000 by May 30, 2001 and closed by June
30, 2001 (then such additional fee shall be payable on July 2, 2001).
2.3.2 Unused Line Fee
(a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Lender on the
first day of each fiscal quarter and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date a
quarterly revolving credit facility fee (the "Unused Line Fee") in an amount
equal to twenty-five (25) basis points per annum of the average daily unused and
undisbursed portion of the Loan.
Section 2.4 Interest Rate Matters.
2.4.1 Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate.
In the event that the Lender determines (which determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances
affecting the London interbank market, quotation of Eurodollar Rates for any
portion of the Note are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the
relevant maturities for the purpose of determining a Eurodollar Rate for any
portion of the principal sum, the Lender will give notice of such determination
to the Borrowers at least one (1) day prior to the date of an advance or any
subsequent Eurodollar Period for the Loan. If any such notice is given, the
Lender shall have no obligation to make any advance or maintain any principal
sum outstanding at a Eurodollar Rate. Until the earlier of the date any such
notice has been withdrawn by the Lender or the date when the Lender and the
Borrowers have mutually agreed upon an alternate method of determining the rates
of interest payable on the Loan, as the case may be, the Borrowers shall not
have the right to have additional advances or maintain any portion of the Credit
Facility at a Eurodollar Rate, whereupon the Lender and the Borrowers shall
mutually agree upon an alternate method of determining the rates of interest
payable on the Loan or the principal outstanding under the Note shall be
immediately due and payable.
2.4.2 Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Financing Documents
to the contrary, in the event that it shall become unlawful for the Lender to
obtain funds in the London interbank market or for the Lender to maintain the
Loan at the Eurodollar Rate, then, by written notice to the Borrowers, the
Lender may declare that advances will not thereafter be made or the Loan
maintained by the Lender hereunder at the Eurodollar Rate, whereupon the Lender
and the Borrowers shall mutually agree upon an alternate method of determining
the rates of interest payable on the Loan or the principal outstanding under the
Note shall be immediately due and payable.
17
23
2.4.3 Increased Costs and Reduced Return.
(a) If any event shall occur (whether in the form of
a reserve requirement (not included in the definition of the Eurodollar Rate),
exchange control regulations, governmental charges, compliance with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority,
changes in the London interbank market or the position of the Lender in such
market or otherwise) and the result of any such event is, in the Lender's
reasonable judgment, to increase the costs which the Lender determines are
attributable to its making or maintaining the Loan at the Eurodollar Rate in
excess of those costs already in effect as of April 1, 2001, or its obligation
to make available the Loan at the Eurodollar Rate or to reduce the amount of any
sum received or receivable by the Lender under the Note, then, within ten (10)
days after demand by the Lender, Borrowers hereby agree to pay to the Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such
increased cost or reduction.
(b) In addition to any amounts payable pursuant to
subsection (a), if the Lender shall have determined that the applicability of
any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of the
July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory
Practices entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital
Standards," or the adoption after the date hereof of any other law, rule,
regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the
foregoing or in the enforcement or interpretation or administration of any of
the foregoing by any court or any central bank or other Governmental Authority,
charged with the enforcement or interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by the Lender (or any lending office of the Lender) or the Lender's
holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on the Lender's capital or on the capital of the Lender's holding company, if
any, as a consequence of its making or maintaining the Loan or its incurring any
obligations under this Agreement to a level below that which the Lender or the
Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such applicability,
adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender's policies
and the policies of the Lender's holding company with respect to capital
adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then, upon demand by
the Lender, the Borrowers hereby agree to pay to the Lender from time to time
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender's
holding company for any such reduction suffered.
2.4.4 Notice of Amounts Payable to Lender.
If the Lender shall seek payment of any amounts from Borrowers
pursuant to this Section or under Section 2.4 (Interest Rate Matters), it shall
notify the Borrowers of the amount payable by the Borrowers to the Lender
hereunder. A certificate of the Lender seeking payment setting forth in
reasonable detail the factual basis for and the computation of the amount
specified, shall be conclusive and binding on all parties for all purposes,
absent manifest error, as to the amounts owned. The Borrowers' obligations under
this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment
of the Obligations.
Section 2.5 Extensions.
At any time not later than thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving
Credit Expiration Date, the Borrowers may request that the Lender, in its sole
discretion, extend the Revolving Credit

however, that the Borrowers will be required to repay the Loan in full
simultaneously with the closing of the restructuring of the Master Credit
Facility.
Section 2.6 Permitted Costs.

pursuant to a Borrowing Base Report issued quarterly by the Lender or more

Section 2.7 Co-Borrower Obligations.
Each Person included in the term "Borrowers", including each Additional
Borrower, hereby covenants and agrees with the Lender as follows:
(a) The Obligations include all present and future
indebtedness, duties, obligations, and liabilities, whether now existing or
contemplated or hereafter arising, of any one or more of the Borrowers in
connection with the Loan.
(b) Reference in this Agreement and the other
Financing Documents to the "Borrowers" or otherwise with respect to any one or
more of the Persons now or hereafter included in the definition of "Borrowers"
shall mean each and every such Person and any one or more of such Persons,
jointly and severally, unless the context requires otherwise.
(c) For administrative convenience, each Person
included in the term "Borrowers" hereby irrevocably appoints the Primary
Borrower as the Borrowers' attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution (with
the prior written consent of the Lender in the exercise of its sole and absolute
discretion), in the name of the Primary Borrower or in the name of any of the
Borrowers or otherwise to take any and all actions with respect to this
Agreement, the other Financing Documents, the Obligations and/or the Collateral
(including, without
19
25
limitation, the Proceeds thereof) as the Primary Borrower may so elect from time
to time, including, without limitation, actions to (i) request advances under
the Loan, and direct the Lender to disburse or credit the proceeds of any
advance under the Loan directly to an account of any Borrower, or otherwise,
which direction shall evidence the making of such advance and shall constitute
the acknowledgment by each Borrower of the receipt of the proceeds of the Loan,
(ii) enter into, execute, deliver, amend, modify, restate, substitute, extend
and/or renew this Agreement, any other Financing Documents, security agreements,
mortgages, deposit account agreements, instruments, certificates, waivers,
letter of credit applications, releases, documents and agreements from time to
time, and (iii) endorse any check or other item of payment in the name of such
Person or in the name of the Primary Borrower. The foregoing appointment is
coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked without the prior written consent of
the Lender, and may be exercised from time to time through the Primary
Borrower's duly authorized officer, officers or other Person or Persons
designated by the Primary Borrower to act from time to time on behalf of the
Primary Borrower.
(d) Each Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Lender to make advances to any one or more of the Borrowers pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement upon the written, oral or telephonic request any
one or more of the Persons who is from time to time a Responsible Officer of the
Primary Borrower under the provisions of the most recent certificate of
corporate resolutions and/or incumbency of the Primary Borrower on file with the
Lender and also upon the written, oral or telephone request of any one of the
Responsible Officers of any Borrower.
(e) The Lender assumes no responsibility or liability
for any errors, mistakes, and/or discrepancies in the oral, telephonic, written
or other transmissions of any instructions, orders, requests and confirmations
between the Lender and any one or more of the Persons included in the term
"Borrowers", any advance under the Loan or any other transaction in connection
with the provisions of this Agreement except those resulting from the Lender's
gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 2.8 Agreement Among Borrowers.
Without implying any limitation on the joint and several nature of the
Obligations, the Lender agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Persons included in the term "Borrowers" may create reasonable
inter-company indebtedness between or among the Persons included in the term
"Borrowers" with respect to the allocation of the benefits and proceeds of the
advances under this Agreement. The Persons included in the term "Borrowers"
agree among themselves, and the Lender consents to that agreement, that each
such Person shall have rights of contribution from all such Persons to the
extent such Person incurs Obligations in excess of the proceeds of the Loan
received by, or allocated to purposes for the direct benefit of, such Person.
All such indebtedness and rights shall be, and are hereby agreed by the Persons
included in the term "Borrowers" to be, subordinate in priority and payment to
the indefeasible repayment in full in cash of the Obligations, and, unless the
Lender agrees in writing otherwise, shall not be exercised or repaid in whole or
in part until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in
cash. Each Person included in the term "Borrowers" agrees that all of such
inter-company indebtedness and rights of contribution are part of the Collateral
and secure the Obligations. Each Person included in the term "Borrowers" hereby
waives all rights of
20
26
counterclaim, recoupment and offset between or among themselves arising on
account of that indebtedness and otherwise. Unless otherwise consented to in
writing by the Lender, no Person included in the term "Borrowers" shall evidence
the inter-company indebtedness or rights of contribution by note or other
instrument, and shall not secure such indebtedness or rights of contribution
with any Lien or security.
Section 2.9 Benefits to Borrowers.
Each Person included in the term "Borrowers" hereby represents and
warrants to the Lender that each of them will derive benefits, directly and
indirectly, from each advance under the Loan, both in their separate capacity
and as a member of the integrated group to which each such Person belongs and
because the successful operation of the integrated group is dependent upon the
continued successful performance of the functions of the integrated group as a
whole, because (a) the terms of the consolidated financing provided under this
Agreement are more favorable than would otherwise be obtainable by such Persons
individually, and (b) the additional administrative and other costs and reduced
flexibility associated with individual financing arrangements which would
otherwise be required if obtainable would substantially reduce the value to such
Persons of the financing.
Section 2.10 Guaranty.
(a) Each Person included in the term "Borrowers"
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Lender:
(i) the due and punctual payment in full
(and not merely the collectibility) by the other Persons included in
the term "Borrowers" of the Obligations, including unpaid and accrued
interest thereon, in each case when due and payable, all according to
the terms of this Agreement, the Note and the other Financing
Documents;
(ii) the due and punctual payment in full
(and not merely the collectibility) by the other Persons included in
the term "Borrowers" of all other sums and charges which may at any
time be due and payable in accordance with this Agreement, the Note or
any of the other Financing Documents;
(iii) the due and punctual performance by
the other Persons included in the term "Borrowers" of all of the other
terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Financing Documents;
and
(iv) all the other Obligations of the other
Persons included in the term "Borrowers".
(b) The obligations and liabilities of each Person
included in the term "Borrowers" as a guarantor under this Section shall be
absolute and unconditional and joint and several, irrespective of the
genuineness, validity, priority, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement,
the Note or any of the Financing Documents or any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor.
Each Person included in the term "Borrowers" in its capacity as a guarantor
expressly agrees that the Lender
21
27
may, in its sole and absolute discretion, without notice to or further assent of
such Borrower and without in any way releasing, affecting or in any way
impairing the joint and several obligations and liabilities of such Person as a
guarantor hereunder:
(i) waive compliance with, or any defaults
under, or grant any other indulgences under or with respect to any of
the Financing Documents;
(ii) modify, amend, change or terminate any
provisions of any of the Financing Documents;
(iii) grant extensions or renewals of or
with respect to this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Financing
Documents;
(iv) effect any release, subordination,
compromise or settlement in connection with this Agreement, the Note or
any of the other Financing Documents;
(v) agree to the substitution, exchange,
release or other disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof, or
any other collateral for the Loan or to the subordination of any lien
or security interest therein;
(vi) make advances for the purpose of
performing any term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement,
the Note or any of the other Financing Documents with respect to which
the Borrower shall then be in default;
(vii) make future advances pursuant to this
Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents;
(viii) assign, pledge, hypothecate or
otherwise transfer, the Obligations, the Note, any of the other
Financing Documents or any interest therein, all as and to the extent
permitted by the provisions of this Agreement;
(ix) deal in all respects with the other
Persons included in the term "Borrowers" as if this Section were not in
effect;
(x) effect any release, compromise or
settlement with any of the other Persons included in the term
"Borrowers", whether in their capacity as a Borrower or as a guarantor
under this Section or any other guarantor; and
(xi) provide debtor-in-possession financing
or allow use of cash collateral in proceedings under the Bankruptcy
Code, it being expressly agreed by all Persons included in the term
"Borrowers" that any such financing and/or use would be part of the
Obligations.
22
28
(c) The obligations and liabilities of each Person
included in the term "Borrowers", as guarantor under this Section 2.10 shall be
primary, direct and immediate, shall not be subject to any counterclaim,
recoupment, set off, reduction or defense based upon any claim that such Person
may have against any one or more of the other Persons included in the term
"Borrowers", the Lender and/or any other guarantor and shall not be conditional
or contingent upon pursuit or enforcement by the Lender of any remedies it may
have against Persons included in the term "Borrowers" with respect to this
Agreement, the Note or any of the other Financing Documents, whether pursuant to
the terms thereof or by operation of law. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Lender shall not be required to make any demand upon any of the
Persons included in the term "Borrowers", or to sell the Collateral or otherwise
pursue, enforce or exhaust its or their remedies against the Persons included in
the term "Borrowers" or the Collateral either before, concurrently with or after
pursuing or enforcing its rights and remedies hereunder. Any one or more
successive or concurrent actions or proceedings may be brought against each
Person included in the term "Borrowers" under this Section 2.10, either in the
same action, if any, brought against any one or more of the Persons included in
the term "Borrowers" or in separate actions or proceedings, as often as the
Lender may deem expedient or advisable. Without limiting the foregoing, it is
specifically understood that any modification, limitation or discharge of any of
the liabilities or obligations of any one or more of the Persons included in the
term "Borrowers", any other guarantor or any obligor under any of the Financing
Documents, arising out of, or by virtue of, any bankruptcy, arrangement,
reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under federal or
state law initiated by or against any one or more of the Persons included in the
term "Borrowers", in their respective capacities as borrowers and guarantors
under this Section 2.10, or under any of the Financing Documents shall not
modify, limit, lessen, reduce, impair, discharge, or otherwise affect the
liability of each Borrower under this Section 2.10 in any manner whatsoever, and
this Section 2.10 shall remain and continue in full force and effect. It is the
intent and purpose of this Section 2.10 that each Person included in the term
"Borrowers" shall and does hereby waive all rights and benefits which might
accrue to any other guarantor by reason of any such proceeding, and the Persons
included in the term "Borrowers" agree that they shall be liable for the full
amount of the obligations and liabilities under this Section 2.10 regardless of,
and irrespective to, any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability
of any one or more of the Persons included in the term "Borrowers", any other
guarantor or any obligor under any of the Financing Documents, that may result
from any such proceedings.
(d) Each Person included in the term "Borrowers", as
guarantor under this Section 2.10, hereby unconditionally, jointly and
severally, irrevocably and expressly waives:
(i) presentment and demand for payment of
the Obligations and protest of non-payment;
(ii) notice of acceptance of this Section
2.10 and of presentment, demand and protest thereof;
(iii) notice of any default hereunder or
under the Note or any of the other Financing Documents and notice of

with the Lender's administration of all indebtedness guaranteed by this

(vii) any right or claim of right to cause a
marshalling of the assets of any one or more of the other Persons
included in the term "Borrowers";
(viii) any act or omission of the Lender
which changes the scope of the risk as guarantor hereunder; and
(ix) All other notices and demands otherwise
required by law which such Person may lawfully waive.
(e) Within ten (10) days following any request of the
Lender to do so, each Person included in the term "Borrowers" will furnish the
Lender and such other persons as the Lender may direct with a written
certificate, duly acknowledged stating in detail whether or not any credits,
offsets or defenses exist with respect to this Section 2.10.

amounts due hereunder or advancing the Lender's own funds to the satisfaction of
the conditions of the Financing Documents and any amounts so applied shall be

such payment or performing of any act and the amount of any payment whether
prior to or contemporaneously with its making such payment or performance of
such act; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not
constitute a waiver by the Lender of, or constitute a defense to, any of the
rights of the Lender under this Agreement or the Deeds of Trust, including
(without limitation) the right of the Lender to repayment of the amount of such
payment.
Section 4.7 Prepayment.
The Borrowers shall have the right to prepay the Loan in full or in

the
29
35
Borrowers as the parties primarily obligated and liable under the terms of this
Agreement unless the Borrowers shall be released specifically by the Lender in
writing. No consent by the Lender to an assignment shall be deemed to be a
waiver of the requirement of prior written consent by the Lender with respect to
each and every further assignment and as a condition precedent to the

Section 4.9 Liability of the Lender.
The Lender shall in no event be responsible or liable to any person
other than the Borrowers for the disbursement of or failure to disburse the Loan

jurisdiction of its formation, has the power to own its property and to carry on
its business as now being conducted, and is duly qualified to do business and is

Agreement and each of the other Financing Documents executed and delivered by
it, to make the borrowing hereunder, and to incur the Obligations, all of which
have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action. No consent or
approval of partners or members of, or lender to, the Borrowers, and no consent
or approval of any Governmental Authority or any third party payor on the part
of the Borrowers, is required as a condition to the validity or enforceability
of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents executed and delivered
by any of the Borrowers or to the payment or performance by the Borrowers of the
Obligations.

There are no proceedings pending before any court or arbitrator or

Borrowers. The Borrowers do not have any appeals regarding rates or
reimbursements currently pending or contemplated before any Governmental
Authority or any administrator of any third party payor or preferred provider
program or referral source, the outcome of which, if determined adversely to any
of the Borrowers, could result in a Material Adverse Change in any of the
Borrowers. There are no Medicare or Medicaid recoupments or recoupments of any
other third party payor being sought, requested or claimed, against any of the

balance shall be paid to the applicable Borrowers or to any other party entitled
thereto.
