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 the Lessee;
2
3
Working Capital Reserve. (a) At such time as BCC or the Management Firm
requests, and upon receipt of equity contributions from the Member (made from
advances to the Member from the Senior Lender under and in accordance with the
Senior Note), the Lessee shall deposit into the Collateral Account so much of
such funds so advanced under the Senior Note and contributed as equity to the
Lessee, up to the maximum amount of no less than of [ ], representing 100% of
the total principal amount of the Senior Note and 100% of the total capital
needed to fully fund the Working Capital Reserve; provided, however, that the
Guarantor may utilize up to $89,665 advanced under the Senior Note towards the
acquisition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, of the Oakhaven Interests and
the equity ownership interests of the Member. Time is of the essence with
respect to such contributions described in this Section 1.01(a).
(b) Except for sums utilized by the Guarantor towards the
acquisition of the Oakhaven Interests and all of the equity interests in the
Member in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the contributions described in
Section 1.01(a) shall be made directly into the Collateral Account. The
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) above,
together with any Fundings made pursuant to Section 1.01 of the Original
Shortfall Agreement, 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 BCC.
(c) BCC, the Member and the Lessee recognize that Senior
Lender has not committed to fund sums into the Working
3
4
Capital Reserve in excess of the principal amount of the Senior Note.
(d) The Guarantor and the Lessee acknowledge and agree that
(i) Fundings under the Senior Note and any other borrowings of the Member or the
Lessee to fund the Working Capital Reserve shall be recourse to the Guarantor to
the extent that the Guarantor 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) above (such maximum guarantied liability of the Guarantor, as adjusted
from time to time to reflect the advances actually made pursuant to the Senior
Note, is referred to herein as the "Guarantied Portion" of the Working Capital
Reserve), (ii) the Guarantor 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) the
Lessor and the Management Firm may (without notice to the Lessee or the 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 100% of all sums
under the Senior Note as equity contributions to the Lessee and the deposit of
100% of such sums 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 (each, an "Advance," and collectively, the "Advances")
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. Advances shall be
evidenced by one or more promissory notes issued by the Lessee in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (collectively, 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 the Lessee and the Member (including the
4
5
obligations of the Member under the Option Agreement, as defined in Section 1.04
below), together with all interest payable under the Transaction Documents and
all other costs and expenses payable by the Lessee or the 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 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 the 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 the 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 ▇▇▇▇ 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 pursuant to the Senior Note (together with any accrued
and unpaid interest and other charges then due as of the date of determination),
plus (ii) an amount (calculated as a yearly return) equal to 27.5% of the
Guarantied Portion of the Working Capital Reserve, calculated as though the
Working Capital Reserve were fully funded as of the date hereof, compounded on
an annual basis through the closing date, plus (iii) the aggregate amount of all
Advances and all other
5
6
Obligations due and payable by the 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 (but subject to the
following provisions regarding credit for option payments paid as Current Yield
(as defined in the Option Agreement) in advance and exclusive of the option
payments made to the Member or Oakhaven pursuant to the terms of the Original
Option Agreement (as defined in Section 1.04 below)). To avoid any doubt, BCC
shall receive, according to the following schedule, 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 advanced option
payments are attributable to Current Yield accruing from and after the closing
date:
Number of months Credit received by BCC for
between June 30, option payments paid as
1999 Current Yield in advance
and the closing (as % of Current Yield paid
date in advance)
0-6 none
7-8 25%
9-10 50%
11-12 75%
more than 12 100%
All Advances and all other Obligations due and payable by the 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 the Member is in Default
of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this
Agreement (except
6
7
for a Default in the payment of interest under the Notes) or the Option
Agreement, which Default was 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 the Lessee hereunder and under the other
Transaction Documents, the Lessee or the Member or both (as applicable) have
executed and delivered to Lessor or BCC (as applicable) the following:
(i) the Lease, the other Lease Documents and the
Senior Credit Documents to which it is a party;
(ii) the [ ] 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 a First Amended and Restated
Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement") substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit C, whereby the Member has
agreed that BCC shall have an option to purchase the equity
interests of the Member in the Lessee, on the terms and
conditions provided therein. The Option Agreement amended and
restated that certain Option Agreement dated as of the
Documentation Date by and among the Member, Oakhaven and BCC
(the "Original Option Agreement").
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,
7
8
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 the Lessee that (i) the Management Firm operate the Facility pursuant to the
Management Agreement and that the Lessee act as a passive investor with respect
to the Facility, (ii) the 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 the 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 against the Lessee. BCC,
the Member and the Lessee agree to take no position inconsistent with the
intention of the parties as herein stated.

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

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

or by which the Lessee or any of its properties may be bound.
