EXECUTION COPY
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
CREDIT AGREEMENT
AMENDMENT NO. 1, dated as of March 7, 1997 by and among:
Genesis Health Ventures, Inc. and certain Subsidiaries identified on the
signature pages hereto as "Borrowers"; the institutions identified on the
signature pages hereto as "Lenders"; Mellon Bank, N.A. as Issuer of Letters of
Credit; Mellon Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent and Co-Syndication Agent;
Citibank, N.A. as Co-Syndication Agent; and the other Co-Agents specified on the
signature pages hereto.
Background
A certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among
Genesis Health Ventures, Inc. and certain Subsidiaries thereof as Borrowers,
Mellon Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent and Co-Syndication Agent, Citibank,
N.A. as Co-Syndication Agent, certain other Co-Agents named therein and certain
Lenders named therein was entered into on October 7, 1996. On October 11, 1996,
in connection with an acquisition by Genesis Health Ventures, Inc., certain
additional Subsidiaries became Borrowers thereunder (as so modified, the
"Existing Credit Agreement" and, as the same is hereby amended and as the same
may be further amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Credit
Agreement"). Unless otherwise defined herein, terms are used herein as defined
in the Existing Credit Agreement.
Also on October 7, 1996, Genesis Eldercare Properties, Inc.,
one of the Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement, entered into a certain
Amended and Restated Participation Agreement (the "Participation Agreement") and
related documents evidencing a $150,000,000 Synthetic Lease Facility. The
Participation Agreement and other Synthetic Lease Facility Documents (as defined
in the Credit Agreement) as amended or modified to (but not including) the date
hereof are collectively referred to herein as the "Existing Synthetic Lease
Facility Documents". Each of the Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement are
participants in the Participation Agreement. Each of the Borrowers under the
Credit Agreement are guarantors of the Synthetic Lease Facility (as defined in
the Credit Agreement).
The Borrowers have requested that the total amount of the
commitment under the Existing Credit Agreement be increased from $300,000,000 to
$375,000,000. There will not be any increase in amount of the Synthetic Lease
Facility. However, in order to continue the proportionate relationship of each
Lender under the Credit Agreement and each participant in the Synthetic Lease
Facility, both the Existing Credit Agreement and the Existing Synthetic Lease
Facility Documents are being amended as of the date hereof to provide for (a)
the increase in the total commitment under the Existing Credit Agreement and the
inclusion of any new Lenders, (b) the inclusion of any new Lenders under the
Credit Agreement as participants in the Synthetic Lease Facility, (c) a downward
adjustment in existing interests in the Synthetic Lease Facility to allow for
appropriate allocations, and (d) a commensurate increase in commitments under
the Credit Agreement. The Lenders are willing to make such changes to the Credit
Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally
bound, hereby agree as follows.
Agreement
1. Amendments to Existing Credit Agreement. The Existing
Credit Agreement shall be, as of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined
below), amended in each of the following respects.
1.1 Change in Commitment; New Exhibit G. The total
Commitment of all Lenders under the Credit Agreement and the individual
Commitment of each Lender under the Credit Agreement shall be amended to be the
amounts set forth on a new Exhibit G which shall be delivered by the Agent to
each Lender and Borrower within ten days of the Amendment Effective Date. Said
new Exhibit G shall also specify the Amendment Effective Date and shall be added
as an additional Exhibit to the Credit Agreement. The information on Exhibit G
shall conform to the following criteria:
(a) As to each Lender that is a party to the Credit
Agreement prior to the Amendment Effective Date (an
"Existing Lender"), unless otherwise specifically agreed
to in a writing between such Existing Lender and the
Agent, (i) the sum of its revised Commitment on said
Exhibit G and its revised participation in the Synthetic
Lease Facility (after giving effect to the related
amendments to the Synthetic Lease Facility Documents)
shall be equal to (ii) the sum of such Existing Lender's
Initial Commitment under the Existing Credit Facility and
its initial participation interest in the Synthetic Lease
under the Existing Synthetic Lease Facility Documents;
(b) Each new Lender and each Existing Lender will
have the same percentage interest in the Credit Agreement
as such Lender/participant has in the Synthetic Lease
Facility; and
(c) The aggregate amount of the total Commitments
under the Credit Agreement shall not exceed Three Hundred
and Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($375,000,000). The
increased amount of the Commitments may be allocated
among such institutions as the Agent (in its sole
discretion) may determine.
1.2 Additional Definition: Amendment Effective Date. The
following new definition shall be added to Section 1.1 of the Existing Credit
Agreement in its correct alphabetical location:
"Amendment Effective Date" shall have the meaning
ascribed to such term in Amendment No. 1, dated as of
March 7, 1997 to this Agreement.
1.3 Amendment to Section 2.1: Initial Commitment. The
second sentence of Section 2.1(a) of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be
amended in its entirety to read as follows:
-2-
On the Amendment Effective Date, each Lender's Commitment
shall be equal to the amount set forth as its "Revised
Commitment" next to its name on Exhibit G attached
hereto, and shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to
the terms hereof.
1.4 Amendment to Exhibit F: Commitment Percentage.
Exhibit F to the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to
read as set forth on a new Exhibit F to be delivered to the Lenders and the
borrowers by the Agent within ten days of the Amendment Effective Date. Said new
Exhibit F shall set forth the correct percentage interest of each Lender in the
total Commitment under the Credit Agreement after giving effect to the new
Commitment allocations set forth on Exhibit G.
1.5 Joinder of Additional Lenders. Each Person that
shall agree to be a Lender under the Credit Agreement shall execute a joinder
thereto, effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent and thereafter shall be a Lender thereunder and under
each Loan Document for all purposes as if it had been an original signatory to
the Credit Agreement.
1.6 Amendment to Section 2.7: Prepayments. In order to
allow for the prepayment of Loans bearing interest at the Euro-Rate Option prior
to the expiration of the applicable Funding Period subject to breakage costs,
Section 2.7 is amended by replacing the colon after the parenthetical phrase
"(subject, however, to Section 2.12(b) hereof)" with a period and by deleting
clauses (a) and (b) thereof.
2. Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the
Lenders and the Agent to agree to amend the Credit Agreement, each of the
Borrowers, jointly and severally, makes the following representations and
warranties, which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Amendment
No. 1:
(a) No Default has occurred and is continuing or would
exist immediately after giving affect to the amendments
contained herein; and
(b) Each of the representations and warranties set forth
in the Credit Agreement is true and correct in all
material respects both before and after giving effect to
the amendments and transactions contemplated hereby as
though each such representation and warranty were made at
and as of the date hereof and as of the Amendment
Effective Date.
3. Notes. On the Amendment Effective Date, the Borrowers
shall issue a replacement Note to each Existing Lender and a new Note to each
new Lender. The principal amount of each Lenders' Note shall be equal to the
amount of its "Revised Commitment" as specified on Exhibit G.
4. Amendment Effective Date. The amendments set forth in
Section 1 above shall be effective on the date (the "Amendment Effective Date")

for the inclusion of any new Lenders as participants thereunder and the
adjustment in each participant's interest therein to maintain the same
proportionate interest under the Credit Agreement and the Synthetic Lease
Facility after giving effect to this Amendment No. 1 and those amendments to the
Synthetic Lease Facility Documents. In addition, there shall have been
appropriate provisions made for payments in connection with the Synthetic Lease
Facility Documents to account for the necessary adjustments to the outstanding
amounts thereunder to effect the reallocation contemplated hereby.
4.6 Other Documents and Information. The Agent shall have
received such other documents and information as it shall reasonably request.
5. Counterparts. This Amendment No. 1 may be executed in
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of
which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. A
facsimile signature shall be deemed to be the functional equivalent of a
manually executed original for all purposes.
6. Ratification. The Credit Agreement, as amended by this
Amendment No. 1, and the other Loan Documents are, and shall continue to be, in
full force and effect and are hereby in all respects confirmed, approved and
ratified. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the undersigned
Borrowers, in their capacity as "Grantors" under the Pledge Agreement, confirm
that the security interest granted pursuant to the Pledge Agreement secures all
of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) including,
without limitation, all repayment obligations in connection with loans made
under the new commitment amount and under any other new commitment amount from
time to time.
7. Payment of Expenses. Without limiting other payment

connection herewith, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
expenses of its counsel, Drinker Xxxxxx & Xxxxx.

limitation, signing amendments to Loan Documents) as shall be consistent with
the purposes hereof as it shall deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the
purposes of this Amendment No. 1.
9. Governing Law. This Amendment No. 1 shall be construed in
accordance with, and governed by the laws of, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
without regard to choice of law principles.
10. References. From and after the Amendment Effective Date,
each reference in the Credit Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereof",
"hereunder" or words of like import, and all references to the Credit Agreement
in any and all Loan Documents, other agreements, instruments, documents,
certificates and writings of every kind and nature, shall be deemed to mean the

thereof. Further, each reference to the "Lenders", the "Notes", "Commitment",

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment
No. 1 to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
