sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
FUNDING SHORTFALLS
SECTION 1.01 FUNDING; CAPITALIZATION OF LESSEE; WORKING
CAPITAL RESERVE. (a) Each Member (jointly and severally if more than one) hereby
agrees to contribute as capital to the Lessee the following capital
contributions:
(i) At such time as BCC or the Management Firm requests, and
upon receipt of advances from Senior Lender under and in accordance with the
Senior Note, the Member and/or the Lessee shall deposit into the Collateral
Account so much of such funds so advanced under the Senior Note, up to the
maximum amount of no less than of $__________, representing 15% of the total
capital needed to fully fund the Working Capital Reserve; and
(ii) on or before August 1, 1999, but subject to the
provisions of Section 1.01(c) below, the Member shall have deposited into the
Collateral Account funds sufficient to make the total amounts contributed to the
Working Capital Reserve equal the sum of $__________.
Time is of the essence with respect to each contribution described in this
Section 1.01(a).
(b) The contributions described in Section 1.01(a) shall be
made directly into the Collateral Account. Each contribution of funds into the
Collateral Account as provided in this Section 1.01 is referred to herein as a
"FUNDING", and the aggregate of all Fundings to be made into the Collateral
Account as provided in Section 1.01(a)(ii) above is referred to as the "WORKING
CAPITAL RESERVE"). As contemplated pursuant to the Senior Note, BCC or the
Management Firm will from time to time request that Fundings be made under the
Senior Note into the Collateral Account to fund the Working Capital Reserve.
Under the Working Capital Assurance Agreement, the Lessor may also request
Fundings. No Fundings may be made into the Collateral Account until such time as
BCC or the Management Firm (or the Lessor, as appropriate) so requests;
provided, however, if BCC or the Management Firm has failed to make a request
for Fundings as provided under the Senior Note (and if the Lessor has failed to
make a request for Fundings pursuant to the Working Capital Assurance
Agreement), and a Shortfall exists, BCC shall be obligated to make Advances
pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.02 below if all other conditions to
making such Advances have been satisfied or waived in writing by
2
3
BCC.
(c) BCC, the Member and Lessee recognize that Senior Lender
has not committed to fund sums into the Working Capital Reserve in excess of the
principal amount of the Senior Note. Lessee, the Member and BCC understand that
Senior Lender will either approve or disapprove of funding the remainder of the
Working Capital Reserve pursuant to one or more additional senior notes on or
before July 18, 1998. Lessee and the Member agree to provide notice to BCC
within 24 hours of receipt of notice from Senior Lender as to whether Senior
Lender has approved the additional Fundings into the Working Capital Reserve.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in the other
Transaction Documents, in no event shall Lessee or the Member be required to
fully fund the Working Capital Reserve as provide in Section 1.01(a)(ii) above,
in no event shall Lessee or the Member be in Default hereunder, and in no event
shall an Event of Default be declared by BCC or any BCC Affiliate, solely as a
result of a failure by Senior Lender to approve the funding of the remaining
amounts to be deposited into the Working Capital Reserve as provided in this
Section.
(i) In the event Senior Lender approves by July 18, 1998 the
additional Funding pursuant to one or more additional senior notes such that the
Working Capital Reserve will be fully funded by the date provided in Section
1.01(a)(ii) above, Lessee, the Member and BCC shall promptly thereafter execute
such further documents and instruments as may be reasonably requested by BCC,
the Member, Lessee and/or Senior Lender to effect such additional Fundings,
including the issuance by Lessee of additional senior notes.
(ii) In the event the Senior Lender fails to approve the
additional Fundings into the Working Capital Reserve on or before July 18, 1998
such that the Working Capital Reserve will be fully funded by the date provided
in Section 1.01(a)(ii) above, the Member shall have the opportunity (but not the
obligation) until October 31, 1998 to arrange for additional Fundings into the
Working Capital Reserve such that the Working Capital Reserve will be fully
funded by the date provided in Section 1.01(a)(ii) above. Such additional
Fundings, and the parties providing such additional Fundings, shall be subject
in all respects to the prior written approval of BCC. Without limiting other
requirements for such approval by BCC, the parties providing such additional
Fundings shall execute such further instruments and documents, and agree to such
additional terms, as BCC may reasonably request, including agreeing to be bound
by provisions similar to those contained in Section 7.02 below. Lessee shall
give prompt notice to BCC in the event that Lessee determines that Lessee will
not be in a position to arrange for the additional Fundings in the Working
Capital Reserve as provided in this subsection.
(iii) In the event that the Senior Lender does not approval
the additional Fundings on or before July 18, 1998 such that the Working Capital
Reserve will be fully funded by the date provided in Section 1.01(a)(ii) above,
and the Member has not obtained a source for the additional Fundings on or
before October 31, 1998 on terms and conditions and with parties satisfactory to
BCC, BCC shall have the right at any time thereafter, but not the obligation, to
require that the Member sell all of the Equity Interests to BCC or its designee
in the manner
3
4
provided for in the Option Agreement; provided, however, the purchase price for
the Equity Interests shall be the sum of (A) the amount of Fundings actually
advanced by Senior Lender under the Senior Note and deposited into the
Collateral Account, plus (B) an amount calculated on a pro-rata basis as 27.5%
per annum of the amount of funds actually advanced under the Senior Note to or
for the benefit of Lessee and contributed into the Working Capital Reserve from
the date of deposit through the date of Closing, plus (C) reimbursement for all
organizational and qualification costs of Lessee (not to exceed with respect to
such organizational and qualification costs, $3,000). In such event, all terms
and conditions of the sale applicable to the Option shall be equally applicable
to the sale under this Section 1.01(c)(iii), and the failure by the Member to
close on such sale within 5 business days after written notice from BCC (time
being of the essence) shall constitute an Event of Default.
(d) The Member and the Lessee acknowledge and agree that (i)
Fundings under the Senior Note and any other borrowings of Lessee to fund the
Working Capital Reserve shall be recourse to the Member to the extent that such
Member will be liable for no less than 15% of the total amount to be funded into
the Working Capital Reserve as provided in Section 1.01(a)(ii) above, (ii) the
Member has sufficient funds in personal accounts such that the guaranty of
Indebtedness in connection with sums borrowed for the Working Capital Reserve is
meaningful and has a likelihood of being repaid and (iii) Lessor and the
Management Firm may (without notice to Lessee or Member, and whether acting
alone or together) withdraw funds from the Working Capital Reserve to fund
Shortfalls with respect to the Facility as provided in the Transaction Documents
and the Lease Documents.
SECTION 1.02 ADVANCES. Upon the advance of all sums under the
Senior Note (and, if applicable, the advance of all sums under additional senior
notes to fully fund the Working Capital Reserve) into the Working Capital
Reserve and the complete depletion of the Working Capital Reserve, and to the
extent thereafter of any Shortfall, BCC hereby agrees to advance from time to
time funds to the Lessee upon no less than five (5) days prior written notice,
upon the terms and conditions provided herein (each advance being an "ADVANCE"
and collectively, the "ADVANCES"). Advances shall be evidenced by one or more
promissory notes issued by the Lessee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A
(the "NOTES"). The Notes shall mature on the anniversary of the fifth year after
issuance of the first Note issued under this Agreement. Interest shall accrue on
the Notes at the rate of 2% over the Prime Rate as announced from time to time
in the Eastern Edition of the Wall Street Journal (or, in the event of the
discontinuance of the publishing of the Prime Rate in such Eastern Edition of
the Wall Street Journal, such other source as the parties may agree), and shall
be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter. All sums owed
under the Notes and hereunder to BCC, and all other obligations and covenants
under the Transaction Documents applicable to Lessee and the Member (including
the obligations of the Member under the Option Agreement), together with all
interest payable under the Transaction Documents and all other costs and
expenses payable by Lessee or any Member to or for the benefit of BCC or any BCC
Affiliate (including indemnification and defense obligations) are referred to
herein as the "OBLIGATIONS". Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
4
5
contained in the Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Section 1.02, and
any Notes issued hereunder, shall be subject in all respects to the terms and
conditions of Section 7(c) of the Option Agreement.
SECTION 1.03 ASSET PURCHASE OPTION. (a) The Lessee and the
Member hereby grant to BCC an option (the "ASSET PURCHASE OPTION") to purchase
all of the assets of the Lessee (including the option to take an assignment of
the Lease) for the Asset Purchase Price. The Asset Purchase Option may be
exercised by BCC by providing written notice to the Lessee at any time during
the term of the Lease. The closing of the purchase of the assets of the Lessee
shall take place within 30 days after BCC exercises the Asset Purchase Option at
such location in Pennsylvania as BCC may designate. At the closing of the asset
purchase, the Lessee shall transfer, assign and convey to BCC (or its designee)
all assets of Lessee, free and clear of all Liens and restrictions of any kind
or nature, except for Liens or restrictions in favor of the Lessor pursuant to
the Lease Documents or in favor of BCC pursuant to the Transaction Documents
(provided, however, Liens in favor of BCC securing Advances or other Obligations
shall be paid in full by Lessee and the Member at the closing of the asset
purchase). The Lessee (and the Member if requested by BCC) shall execute and
deliver at the closing of the asset purchase an assignment of lease (assigning
the Lease to the purchaser), a xxxx of sale conveying all other assets of the
Lessee and such other documents and instruments as BCC may reasonably request,
all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to BCC. The "ASSET PURCHASE
PRICE" as used herein shall mean (i) all amounts actually funded into the
Working Capital Reserve (including advances for interest due under the Senior
Note), plus (ii) an amount (calculated as a yearly return) equal to 27.5% of the
Working Capital Reserve actually funded through Fundings, compounded annually
through the closing date, plus (iii) the aggregate amount of all Advances and
all other Obligations due and payable by Lessee or the Member to BCC or a BCC
Affiliate through the closing date (exclusive of the Management Fee), minus (iv)
any payments made to the Member under the Option Agreement. To avoid any doubt,
BCC shall receive a credit against the Asset Purchase Price for any payments
made to the Member under the Option Agreement paid as Current Yield in advance
to the extent that such advance Option Payments are attributable to Current
Yield accruing after the closing date. All Advances and all other Obligations
due and payable by Lessee or the Member to BCC or a BCC Affiliate through the
closing date of the asset purchase shall be payable from the Asset Purchase
Price to BCC or the BCC Affiliate, as appropriate. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary contained in the Transaction Documents, the provisions of this
Section 1.03 shall be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of
Section 7(c) of the Option Agreement and Section 6.04 of this Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
herein or in any other Transaction Document, BCC agrees that the Asset Purchase
Option shall not be exercised unless (i) BCC or its designee is prohibited (by
operation of law, or any other reason other than the acts or omissions of BCC or
any BCC Affiliate) from exercising the Option to acquire the Equity Interests
pursuant to the Option Agreement or (ii) the Lessee or any Member is in Default
of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this
Agreement (except for a Default in the payment of interest under the Notes) or
the Option Agreement, which Default was
5
6
not caused by BCC or any BCC Affiliate.
SECTION 1.04 TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. In addition to the Notes,
and to better secure the performance of Lessee hereunder and under the other
Transaction Documents, Lessee and the Member (as applicable) have executed and
delivered to Lessor or BCC (as applicable) the following:
(i) the Lease and the other Lease Documents to
which it is a party;
(ii) Leasehold Mortgage in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B encumbering the Property
in favor of BCC (the "LEASEHOLD MORTGAGE");
(iii) the Deposit Pledge Agreement and the Pledge
Agreement; and
(iv) such other documents, certificates, powers,
affidavits and instrument as BCC may
reasonably request.
In addition to the foregoing documents, the Member has
executed and delivered to BCC the Option Agreement (the
"OPTION AGREEMENT") substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit C, whereby each Member has agreed that BCC shall
have an option to purchase the equity interest of each Member
in Lessee, on the terms and conditions provided therein.
SECTION 1.05 INTEREST PAYMENTS. In no event shall the amount
of interest due or payable pursuant to any Transaction Document (exclusive of
payment made under the Option Agreement and sums paid in connection with the
Asset Purchase Option) exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Law and,
in the event any such payment is inadvertently paid by the Lessee or the Member
or inadvertently received by BCC or any BCC Affiliate, then such excess sum
shall be credited as a payment of principal due to BCC or any BCC Affiliate. It
is the express intention of the parties hereto that neither the Lessee nor the
Member pay to BCC, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in
excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Lessee.
SECTION 1.06 INTENTION. It is the intention of BCC, the Member
and Lessee that (i) the Management Firm operate the Facility pursuant to the
Management Agreement and that Lessee act as a passive investor with respect to
the Facility, (ii) Lessee include on its financial statements all revenue and
losses with respect to the Facility during the term of this Agreement for
accounting purposes, and (iii) Advances made hereunder and all other obligations
of Lessee and the Member under the Transaction Documents be secured by and
pursuant to the Leasehold Mortgage and the Pledge Agreement, but subject to the
rights of Lessor under the Lease, regardless of any bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceedings instituted by or
6
7
against Lessee. BCC, each Member and Lessee agree to take no position
inconsistent with the intention of the parties as herein stated.

Member), in no event shall BCC fail to fund Advances if required to do so
hereunder or raise as a defense to the consequences of BCC's failure to make

provision to the contrary contained herein or in the other Transaction
Documents, if the foregoing is false or misleading (and so long as such
representation or warranty was not made false or misleading as a result of the
acts or omissions of Lessee or the Member), in no event shall BCC fail to fund
Advances if required to do so hereunder or raise as a defense to the
consequences of BCC's failure to make Option Payments the failure of the
foregoing from being true and correct, but neither Lessee nor the Member shall
raise as a defense to the obligations of Lessee or Member hereunder or under any
other Transaction Document the failure of the foregoing from being true and
correct in all material respects.
(e) LITIGATION. There is no pending or, to the best of
Lessee's knowledge, threatened action, suit or proceeding against or affecting
the Lessee before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator.
(f) APPLICABLE LAW. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Lessee is a

false or misleading as a result of the acts or omissions of Lessee or the
Member), in no event shall BCC fail to fund Advances if required to do so
hereunder or raise as a defense to the consequences of BCC's failure to make

subject to any Lien or other charge other than Liens in favor of Lessor pursuant
to the Lease or the Senior Credit Documents, BCC as provided herein, or a BCC
Affiliate ("PERMITTED LIENS"), and the execution, delivery and performance by
the Lessee of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is
a party will neither result in the creation of any Lien or other charge upon any
of the Lessee's properties or assets, nor cause a default under any agreements
to which Lessee is a party.

returns of the Lessee required by Law to be filed have been duly filed, and all
federal, state and other taxes, assessments and other governmental charges or
levies upon the Lessee and its properties, income, profits and assets which are
due and payable have been paid; provided, however, if the failure to file such
tax returns was due to the acts or omissions of BCC or a BCC Affiliate, the
foregoing shall not constitute an Event of Default.
(k) NO EMPLOYEES. The Lessee has no employees for which it is
required to comply with the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
(l) ABSENCE OF DEFAULTS. To the Lessee's and Member's
knowledge, no event has occurred, which has not been remedied, cured or waived,
which constitutes, or with the passage of time or giving of notice or both would
constitute, a Default or an Event of Default under any Transaction Document or
Lease Document or which constitutes or which with the passage of time or giving
of notice or both would constitute a default or event of default by the Lessee
under any agreement or judgment, decree or order, to which the Lessee is a party
or by which the Lessee or any of its properties may be bound.
(m) ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF INFORMATION. No document
furnished or written statement made to BCC by Lessee or any Member in connection
with the execution of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents
