Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the
following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans as to the

to be applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, which Interest Period shall be, at the
option of the Borrower, a thirty (30), sixty (60), ninety (90), one hundred
twenty (120), and if available, one hundred eighty (180), or three hundred and
sixty-five (365) day period; PROVIDED THAT:
8
(i) the Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan shall
commence on the date of such LIBOR Rate Loan;
(ii) if an Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day
that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the
next succeeding Business Day; provided, further that if any Interest
Period in respect of a LIBOR Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day
that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no
further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall
expire on the next preceding Business Day:
(iii) any Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Rate Loan
that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day
for which there is not numerically corresponding day in the calendar
month at the end of such Interest Period) shall, subject to clause
(iv) below, end on the last Business Day of a calendar month;
(iv) no Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan
shall extend beyond the Maturity Date; and
(v) no Interest Period shall be selected if at the time
thereof an Event of Default is in existence.
(b) Subject to the provisions hereof (including, without limitation
Section 2.05(a)) and as long as there exists no Default, the Borrower shall
have, the option (A) to elect to convert integral multiples of One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) of its outstanding Prime Rate Loans which are Term Credits
to LIBOR Rate Loans and (B) effective on and as of the expiration date of the
Interest Period of a LIBOR Rate Loan, to continue such LIBOR Rate Loan;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) no more than three (3) LIBOR Rate Loans may be
outstanding at any one time; and (ii) a LIBOR Rate Loan may only be continued
pursuant to clause (B) above if the outstanding principal amount of such LIBOR
Rate Loan equals or exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). Interest on each
LIBOR Rate Loan shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each
month commencing July 1, 1999. The Borrower shall deliver a notice (the "Notice
of Conversion/Continuation") to the Lender no later than 1:00 P.M. (Boston time)
at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed
conversion/continuation date. A Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall, in the
case of a conversion to, or continuation of, a LIBOR Rate Loan, be irrevocable

completed to specify (i) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall
be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of the Term Credit to be
converted/continued, (iii) whether the Term Credit to be converted/continued is

proposed conversion/continuation under this Section 2.05; PROVIDED, that such
notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation to the Lender on or before the proposed
conversion/continuation date. If the Borrower has failed to timely deliver
Notice of Conversion/Continuation or to give such a telephonic notice with
respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have delivered to
the Lender a Notice of Conversion/Continuation electing to convert such LIBOR
Rate Loan into a Prime Rate Loan. Any notice pursuant to this Section 2.05
(including any telephonic notice) shall be irrevocable on and after the date of
delivery thereof to the Lender, and the Borrower shall be bound to convert or
continue in accordance therewith.
9
(c) DETERMINATION OF INTEREST RATE. As soon as practicable after 10:00
A.M. Boston time) on an Interest Rate Determination Date, the Lender shall
determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final,
conclusive and binding) the Applicable LIBOR Rate, which rate shall apply to the
LIBOR Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the
applicable Interest Period, and the Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to
the Borrower.
(d) SUBSTITUTED RATE OF BORROWING. In the event that on any Interest
Rate Determination Date the Lender shall have reasonably determined (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding)
that:
(i) by reason of any changes affecting the LIBOR market, or
affecting the position of the Lender in such market, adequate and fair
means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate by
reference to the LIBOR Rate with respect to the LIBOR Rate Loans as to
which an interest rate determination is then being made; or
(ii) by reason of (A) any change in any applicable law or
governmental rule, regulation or order (or any interpretation thereof
and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule,
regulation or order) or (B) other circumstances affecting the Lender,
the LIBOR market or the position of the Lender in such market (such
as, for example, but not limited to, official reserve requirements
required by Regulation D to the extent not given effect in the LIBOR
Rate), the LIBOR Rate shall not represent the effective pricing to the
Lender for dollar deposits of comparable amounts for the relevant
period;
then, and in any such event, the Lender shall promptly (and in any event as soon
as possible after being notified of a borrowing, conversion or continuation)
give notice to the Borrower of such determination. Thereafter, the Borrower
shall pay to the Lender with respect to the LIBOR Rate Loans of the Borrower,
upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an
increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise
as the Lender in its sole discretion shall reasonably determine) as shall be
required to cause the Lender to receive interest with respect to such LIBOR Rate
Loans for the Interest Period following the Interest Rate Determination Date
(the "Affected Interest Period") at a rate equal to 2.0% per annum in excess of
the effective pricing to the Lender for dollar deposits to make or maintain such
LIBOR Rate Loans. A certificate as to additional amounts owed the Lender,
showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted in
good faith to the Borrower by the Lender, shall, absent manifest error, be
final, conclusive and binding.
(e) REQUIRED TERMINATION AND PREPAYMENT. In the event that on any date
the Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent
manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding) that the making or
continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans has become unlawful by compliance by the Lender
in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation or order (whether or
not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would
be unlawful), then, and in any such event, the Lender shall promptly give notice
to the Borrower of that determination. The obligation of the Lender to make or
maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans during any such period shall be determined at the
10
earlier of the termination of the Interest Period then in effect or when
required by law, and the Borrower shall, no later than the termination of the
Interest Period in effect at the time any such determination pursuant to this
Section 2.05(e) is made, or earlier when required by law, repay such LIBOR Rare
Loans, together with all interest accrued thereon or automatically convert the
LIBOR Rate Loans to a Prime Rate Loan.
(f) COMPENSATION. The Borrower shall compensate the Lender, upon
written request from the Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable
detail the basis for requesting such amounts), for all losses, expenses and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any interest paid by the Lender to
lenders of funds borrowed by Lender to make or carry the LIBOR Rate Loans and
any loss sustained by the Lender in connection with the reemployment of such
funds) that the Lender may sustain with respect to the Borrower's LIBOR Rate
Loans: (i) if for any reason (other than a default or manifest error by the
Lender) a borrowing of any LIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified
therefor in a notice of borrowing or a telephonic request for borrowing or
conversion/continuation, or a successive Interest Period does not commence after
notice thereof is given; (ii) if, for any reason, any prepayment of any LIBOR
Rate Loan occurs on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period
applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan; (iii) if, for any reason, any prepayment of
the LIBOR Rate Loans is not made on the date specified in a notice of prepayment
given by the Borrower with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan; or (iv) as a
consequence of any other default by the Borrower to repay such LIBOR Rate Loans
when, and on the terms, required by the terms of this Agreement.
(g) QUOTATION OF LIBOR RATE. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, if on any Interest Rate Determination Date the LIBOR Rate is
unavailable by reason of the failure of the referenced lenders to provide
offered quotations to the Lender in accordance with the definition of "LIBOR
Rate", the Lender shall give the Borrower prompt notice within three days
thereof and any LIBOR Rate Loans requested shall be made as Prime Rate Loans;
provided, however, that failure to give such notice within three days shall not
entitle the Borrower to obtain nor require the Lender to provide LIBOR Rate
Loans if the LIBOR Rate is otherwise unavailable as provided for herein.
(h) LIBOR RATE TAXES. The Borrower agrees that:
(i) Promptly upon notice from the Lender to the Borrower,
the Borrower will pay, prior to the date on which penalties attach
thereto, all present and future income, stamp and other taxes, levies,
or costs and charges whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or collected
on or in respect of the Term Loan solely as a result of the interest
rate being determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate and/or the
provisions of this Agreement relating to the LIBOR Rate and/or the
recording, registration, notarization or other formalization of any
thereof and/or any payments of principal, interest or other amounts
made on or in respect of a Term Loan when the interest rate is
determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate (all such taxes, levies,
cost and charges being herein collectively called "LIBOR Rate Taxes");
PROVIDED that LIBOR Rate Taxes shall not include taxes imposed on or
measured by the net income of the Lender by the country under the laws
of which the Lender is organized or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein, or taxes imposed on or measured
11
by the net income of any branch or subsidiary of the Lender (whether
gross or net income) by any jurisdiction or subdivision thereof in
which that branch or subsidiary is doing business. The Borrower shall
also pay such additional amounts equal to increases in taxes payable
by the Lender, which increases are attributable to payments made by
the Borrower described in the immediately preceding sentence or this
sentence. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.05(h)
to the contrary, in the event that the Lender shall recover any
amounts in respect of LIBOR Rate Taxes as to which the Borrower has
previously rendered payment to Lender, then Lender shall reimburse the
Borrower in full for such amounts. Promptly after the date on which
payment of any such LIBOR Rate Tax is due pursuant to applicable law,
the Borrower will at the request of the Lender, furnish to Lender
evidence, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, that the
Borrower has met its obligation under this Section 2.05(h); and
(ii) The Borrower will indemnify the Lender against, and
reimburse the Lender on demand for, any LIBOR Rate Taxes as determined
by the Lender in its good faith discretion. The Lender shall provide
the Borrower with appropriate receipts for any payments or
reimbursements made by the Borrower pursuant to this clause (ii).
(i) BOOKING OF LIBOR RATE LOANS. The Lender may make, carry or
transfer LIBOR Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of, any of its branch
offices or the office of an affiliate of the Lender.
(j) INCREASED COSTS. If, by reason of (i) the introduction of or any
change in (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or
increase of reserve requirements) or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central
bank or other governmental authority or quasi-governmental authority exercising
control over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having
the force of law), any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by
the Federal Reserve Board), special deposit or similar requirement against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the
Lender or its applicable Lending office shall be imposed or deemed applicable or
other condition affecting any of its LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make
such LIBOR Rate Loans shall be imposed on the Lender or its applicable lending
office or the London interbank market, and as a result thereof there shall be
any increase in the cost to the Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or
maintaining such LIBOR Rate Loans, or there shall be a reduction in the amount
received or receivable by the Lender or time, upon written notice from and
demand by the Lender, pay to the Lender for the account of the Lender, within
five Business Days after the date specified in such notice and demand,
additional amounts sufficient to indemnify the Lender against such increased
cost. A certificate in reasonable detail as to the amount of such increased
cost, submitted to the Borrower by the Lender, shall, except for manifest error,
be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.
(k) ASSUMPTIONS CONCERNING FUNDINGS OF LIBOR RATE LOANS. The
calculation of all amounts payable to the Lender under this Section 2.05 shall
be made as though the Lender had actually funded the LIBOR Rate Loans through
the purchase of a LIBOR deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate applicable to
such LIBOR Rate Loan, in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, through the transfer of
such LIBOR deposit from an offshore office of the Lender to a domestic office of
such Lender in the United States of America; it being understood that the Lender
12
may fund LIBOR Rate Loans in any manner it sees fir and the foregoing assumption
shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this
subsection.
(l) LIBOR RATE LOANS AFTER DEFAULT. After the occurrence of and during
the continuance of a Default, the Borrower may not elect to have a Term Credit
be made as a LIBOR Rate Loan or continued as, or converted to, a LIBOR Rate Loan
after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect.
Section 2.06. Adjustments to Interest on the Credit.
------------- --------------------------------------
The Borrower may twice annually request that the Bank adjust the Applicable
Prime Rate and the Applicable LIBOR Rate to Level II or Level III set forth
below by delivering to the Bank a rate change certificate (the "Rate Change
Certificate") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.06 certifying that either
(i) the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries for the twelve-month period ending June 30, or (ii) the unaudited
consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the
twelve-month period ending December 31 (each a "Rate Change Financial Statement"
and collectively, the "Rate Change Financial Statements") attached thereto
indicate Leverage Ratio of the Borrower for the trailing twelve-month period
that corresponds with the ratios opposite such levels set forth below.
Applicable
Level Leverage Ratio Applicable Prime Rate LIBOR Rate
----- -------------- --------------------- ----------
Level 1 Greater than 2.5:1 Prime Rate plus .75% LIBOR Rate plus 3.75%
Level II Greater than 1.5:1 and less than or Prime Rate plus .25% per LIBOR Rate plus 3.25% per
equal to 2.5:1 annum annum
Level III Less than or equal to 1.5:1 Prime Rate LIBOR Rate plus 3.00 per
annum
In the event that the Bank adjusts the Applicable Prime Rate and the
Applicable LIBOR Rate to Level II or Level III, the Borrower shall not be
entitled to a refund on account of interest accrued prior to and including the
date of the delivery of the Rare Change Financial Statement. The Borrower shall
deliver to the Bank the Rate Change Financial Statements
In the event that the Borrower fails to timely deliver the Rate Change
Financial Statements within forty-five (45) days after the end of each six (6)
month period ending June 30 and December 31, the Applicable Prime Rate and the
Applicable LIBOR Rate shall be automatically and immediately adjusted to the
Level I until such time as the Rate Change Financial Statement is delivered. In
the event that upon the delivery of the Rate Change Financial Statement, the
Bank re-adjusts the Applicable Prime Rate and the Applicable LIBOR Rate to Level
II or Level III, the Borrower shall not be entitled to a refund on account of
interest accrued prior to and including the date of the delivery of the Rate
Change Financial Statement. In the event that upon delivery of audited financial
statements pursuant to Section 5.06(a) hereof (the "Audited Statements"), the
13
Level corresponding to the Leverage Ratio is different than the Level previously
indicated by the Rate Change Financial Statement delivered pursuant to the first
sentence of this paragraph and the difference indicates a higher interest rare,
the Applicable Prime Rate and the Applicable LIBOR Rate shall immediately adjust
to the Level indicated by the Audited Statements. In such event, the Borrower
shall immediately repay to the Bank retroactively for the period covered by the
Audited Statements as if such Level had been in effect for the entire period.
The Borrower may request from the Bank written permission to include the
twelve month trailing EBITDA of a Permitted Acquisition in calculating the
Leverage Ratio which the Bank may grant in its reasonable discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank agrees to allow the Borrower to include
the twelve month trailing EBITDA of the Acute Care Subsidiaries in calculating
the Leverage Ratio.
In addition to the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
the Applicable Prime Rate and the Applicable LIBOR Rate shall be automatically
and immediately adjusted to a Default Rate of Interest as provided in Section
2.04.
Section 2.07. Method of Payment.
------------- ------------------
All payments and prepayments of principal and interest due under the Notes
and of fees their hereunder shall be made by the Borrower to the Bank in
immediately available funds. Payments received by the Bank after 12:00 noon
Boston time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Banking Day. All
payments of principal, interest or fees to be made to the Bank may be effected
by the Bank debiting accounts of the Borrower with the Bank and sending notice
thereof to the Borrower.
Section 2.08. Payment and Interest Cutoff.
------------- ----------------------------
Notice of each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.03(a) shall be given to the
Bank not Later than 12:00 noon (Boston time) on the date of payment, and shall
specify the total principal, interest and penalty, if any, of the Term Credit
and/or the Revolving Credit to be paid on such date. Notice of prepayment having
been given in compliance with this Section 2.08, the amount specified to be
prepaid shall become due and payable on the date specified for prepayment and
from and after said date (unless the Borrower shall default in the payment
thereof) interest thereon shall cease to accrue. Unpaid interest on the
principal amount of the Revolving Credit or Term Credit so prepaid accrued to
the date of prepayment shall be due on the date of prepayment.
Section 2.09. Closing Fee.
------------- ------------
The Borrower shall pay the Bank $140,000 at Closing.
Section 2.10. Expenses.
------------- ---------
The Borrower Shall pay the Bank on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket fees

employees and agents of the Bank. The Borrower shall cooperate with the Bank's
officers, employees and agents in connection with each audit or appraisal
performed and comply with all reasonable requests in connection therewith.

Management Service provided by the Bank with respect to the Credit and shall at
all times maintain substantially all of its principal operating and disbursement
accounts with the Bank or alternatively a cash management system satisfactory to
the Bank; provided, however, that the Borrower may maintain the Acute Care
Subsidiaries' current operating and disbursement accounts for a period not to
exceed one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing; provided further,
however, that the aggregate amount of funds in the Acute Care Subsidiaries
operating and disbursement accounts during the one hundred and twenty (120) day
period shall not exceed $1,500,000 at any time.

Such Facility Fee shall be due and payable in arrears on the first day of each
month, commencing July 1, 1999.
Section 2.13. Use of Credit Proceeds.
------------- -----------------------

ARTICLE III. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
------------ -------------------------------
Borrower hereby represents and warrants that:
Section 3.01. Corporate Existence and Power; Organizational Structure.
------------- --------------------------------------------------------
The Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has full corporate
and other power and authority to conduct its business and own its assets as now
conducted and owned and as proposed to be conducted and owned. The Borrower and
each of its Subsidiaries are licensed or qualified as a foreign corporation in
each jurisdiction where the conduct of its business or the ownership of its
assets require such licensing or qualification, except where the failure to be
so licensed or qualified would not have a material adverse effect upon the
business, assets, operations, or financial condition or prospects of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
There are presently issued by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries the shares
of capital stock indicated on SCHEDULE 3.01, which shares are owned beneficially
and of record as set forth on such SCHEDULE 3.01. The Borrower and its
Subsidiaries have received the consideration for which such stock was authorized
15
to be issued and have otherwise complied with all legal requirements relating to
the authorization and issuance of shares of stock and all such shares are
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries
have no other capital stock of any class outstanding. Except as disclosed on
Schedule 3.01, there are no (i) outstanding options, warrants or rights to
acquire any shares of the capital stock or other securities of the Borrower,
(ii) outstanding securities or obligations which are convertible into or
exchangeable for any shares of the capital stock or other securities of the
Borrower, or (iii) preemptive or subscription rights, contracts or arrangements
under which the Borrower is or may become bound to sell or otherwise issue any
shares of capital stock or other securities, other than as granted by law.
Section 3.02. Subsidiaries.
------------- -------------
Except as set forth in Schedule 3.02, the Borrower currently has no
Subsidiaries or any equity investments in any other entity. The Borrower shall
not organize or permit to exist any new Subsidiaries, or make any new equity
investments in any other entity without the prior written consent of the Bank
(except for Permitted Acquisitions).
Section 3.03. Power and Authority Relative to Borrowing; Legal and Binding
------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
Nature; Compliance with Other Instruments.
------------------------------------------
Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 3.03, the Borrower has full power and
authority and has taken all required corporate and other action necessary to
permit it to execute and deliver and perform all of its obligations contained in
the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and to borrow hereunder, and none
of such actions will violate any provision of law applicable to it, or of its
charter or by-laws or result in the breach of or constitute a default under any
material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound.
Each of the Credit Documents to which the Borrower is a party has been (or will
upon execution be) duly authorized and validly executed and is (or will upon
execution be) the valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable in
accordance with its respective terms. Neither the execution or delivery by the
Borrower of any of the Credit Documents to which it is a party or the
performance of its obligations thereunder, require the consent, approval or
authorization of any person or governmental authority.
The provisions of the Credit Documents executed and delivered by the
Borrower in accordance with Sections 4.01(c) through (g) hereof have created in
favor of the Bank legal, valid and enforceable security interests in the
collateral described therein, and all financing statements and other filings
have been (or will promptly after the Closing be) filed or made as required by
applicable law so as to cause such security interests to constitute fully
perfected first priority liens on all right, title and interest of the Borrower
in such collateral.
Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any
term of its charter or by-laws, and none of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries is
in violation of any material agreement, instrument, mortgage, indenture,
contract or any judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or governmental
regulation applicable to it. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Credit Documents will not result in the creation of any security interest, lien,
charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Borrower or
its Subsidiaries except in favor of the Bank.
