     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto agree to amend and restate the Existing
Loan Agreement in its entirety as follows:

     ARTICLE 1. DEFINITIONS.

          SECTION 1.1 DEFINED TERMS.

          As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:

<PAGE>

          "AFFECTED LOANS" - as defined in Section 2.21 hereof.

          "AFFECTED TYPE" - as defined in Section 2.21 hereof.

          "AFFILIATE" - as to any Person, any other Person that directly or
indirectly controls, or is under common control with, or is controlled by, such
Person. As used in this definition, "control" (including, with its correlative
meanings, "controlled by" and "under common control with") shall mean
possession, directly or indirectly, of power to direct or cause the direction of
management or policies (whether through ownership of securities or partnership
or other ownership interests, by contract or otherwise), provided that, in any
event: (a) any Person that owns directly or indirectly ten (10%) percent or more
of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors or
other governing body of a corporation or ten (10%) percent or more of the
partnership or other ownership interests of any other Person (other than as a
limited partner of such other Person) will be deemed to control such corporation
or other Person; and (b) each ten (10%) percent or more shareholder, each
director and executive officer of any Borrower shall be deemed to be an
Affiliate of such Borrower.

          "AGENCY FEE" - as defined in subsection 2.7(c) hereof.

          "ALTERNATE BASE RATE" - for any day, a rate per annum (rounded

effect on such day.

          "APPLICABLE MARGIN" - as at any date of determination, with respect to
LIBOR Loans, the applicable percentage per annum set forth below based upon the
Ratings in effect on such date:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

        Rating Level               LIBOR Loans
        ------------          ---------------------
<S>                           <C>
Level 1
A-/A3 or above                        0.575%

Level 2

Level 5

For purposes of the foregoing: (i) if the Ratings established by S&P and Moodys
shall fall within different levels, the Applicable Margin shall be based upon
the higher of the two Ratings unless one of the two Ratings is two or more
levels lower than the other, in which case the Applicable Margin shall be
determined by reference to the level that is one above the lower Rating, and
(ii) if any Rating shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the
rating system of the applicable Rating Agency), such change shall be effective
as of the date on which it is first announced by the Rating Agency making such
change. Each such change in the Applicable Margin shall apply to all outstanding
LIBOR Loans during the period commencing


                                      -2-

on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately

     ARTICLE 2. REVOLVING CREDIT COMMITMENTS; LOANS.

          SECTION 2.1 LOANS.

          Each Bank hereby severally agrees, on the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Agreement, to make loans (individually a "LOAN" and,
collectively, the "LOANS") to the Borrowers during the Credit Period to and
including the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date in an aggregate
principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not


                                      -14-

<PAGE>

exceeding, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Bank as then in effect;
provided, that the aggregate principal amount of Loans at any one time
outstanding shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment as then in
effect. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during the Credit Period the
Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Loans. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge
and agree that all of the Obligations hereunder shall be the joint and several
obligations of the Borrowers.

          SECTION 2.2 NOTICES RELATING TO LOANS.

          The Borrowers shall give the Agent written notice of each termination
or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, each borrowing, conversion,
repayment and prepayment of each Loan and of the duration of each Interest
Period applicable to each LIBOR Loan (in each case, a "BORROWING NOTICE"). Each
such written notice shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received
by the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the date that
is:

               (a) In the case of each notice of termination or reduction of the
     Revolving Credit Commitments, five (5) Business Days prior to the date of
     the related termination or reduction;

               (b) In the case of each notice of borrowing and repayment of, or
     conversion into, Base Rate Loans, one (1) Business Day prior to the date of
     the related borrowing or repayment or conversion; and

               (c) In the case of each notice of borrowing or repayment of, or
     conversion into, LIBOR Loans, or the duration of an Interest Period for
     LIBOR Loans, two (2) LIBOR Business Days prior to the date of the related
     borrowing, repayment or conversion or the first day of such Interest
     Period.

          Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify the amount
thereof. Each such notice of borrowing, conversion, repayment or prepayment
shall specify the amount (subject to Section 2.1 hereof) and Type of Loans to be
borrowed, converted, repaid or prepaid (and, in the case of a conversion, the
Type of Loans to result from such conversion), the date of borrowing,
conversion, repayment or prepayment (which shall be: (i) a Business Day in the
case of each borrowing or repayment of Base Rate Loans, and (ii) a LIBOR
Business Day in the case of each borrowing, prepayment, or repayment of LIBOR
Loans and each conversion of or into a LIBOR Loan). Each such notice of the
duration of an Interest Period shall specify the Loans to which such Interest
Period is to relate. The Agent shall notify the Banks of the content of each
such Borrowing Notice promptly after its receipt thereof.

          SECTION 2.3 DISBURSEMENT OF LOAN PROCEEDS.

          The Borrowers shall give the Agent notice of each borrowing hereunder
as provided in Section 2.2 hereof and the Agent shall promptly notify the Banks
thereof. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the date specified
for each borrowing hereunder, each Bank shall transfer to the Agent, by wire
transfer or otherwise, but in any event in immediately available funds, the
amount of the Loan to be made by it on such date, and the Agent, upon its
receipt thereof, upon compliance with the requirements of Section 4.1 and 4.2,
as applicable,


                                      -15-

<PAGE>

shall disburse such sum to the Borrowers by depositing the amount thereof in an
account of the Borrowers, or any of them, designated by the Borrowers maintained
with the Agent.

          SECTION 2.4 NOTES.

               (a) The Loans made by each Bank shall be evidenced by a single
joint and several promissory note of the Borrowers in substantially the form of
Exhibit A hereto (each, a "NOTE" and collectively, the "NOTES"). Each Note shall
be dated the date hereof, shall be payable to the order of such Bank in a
principal amount equal to such Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment as originally
in effect, and shall otherwise be duly completed. The Notes shall be payable as
provided in Sections 2.1 and 2.5 hereof.

               (b) Each Bank shall enter on a schedule with respect to its Note
a notation with respect to each Loan made hereunder of: (i) the date and
principal amount thereof and (ii) each payment and repayment of principal
thereof. The failure of any Bank to make a notation on any such schedule as
aforesaid shall not limit or otherwise affect the joint and several obligation
of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with their respective terms as
set forth herein.

          SECTION 2.5 PAYMENT OF LOANS; VOLUNTARY CHANGES IN COMMITMENT;
               MANDATORY REPAYMENTS.

               (a) All outstanding Loans shall be paid in full not later than
the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date.

               (b) The Borrowers shall be entitled to terminate or reduce the
Total Revolving Credit Commitment or repay the principal amount of the Loans
provided that the Borrowers shall give notice of such termination, reduction or
repayment to the Agent as provided in Section 2.2 hereof and that any repayment
or partial reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be in the
minimum aggregate amount of Three Million ($3,000,000) Dollars and multiples of
One Million ($1,000,000) Dollars in excess thereof. Any such termination or
reduction in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be permanent and
irrevocable.

               (c) Repayment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of
the relevant Interest Period relating thereto shall be subject to the provisions
of Section 2.22 hereof; and all repayments of principal (whether mandatory or
voluntary) shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans, then to the fewest number
of Types of LIBOR Loans as possible.

               (d) If HCRI (or any of its Subsidiaries) shall make any public or
private issuance of Indebtedness or equity (other than in connection with any
dividend reinvestment program(s)), HCRI shall promptly notify the Agent of such
issuance and repay the Loans in an amount equal to the aggregate Net Issuance
Proceeds of such issuance immediately upon receipt thereof.

          SECTION 2.6 INTEREST.

               (a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of each
Bank interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Bank for
the period


                                      -16-

<PAGE>

commencing on the date of such Loan until such Loan shall be paid in full, at
the following rates per annum:

                    (i) During such periods that such Loan is a Base Rate Loan,
     the Alternate Base Rate;

                    (ii) During such periods that such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, for
     each Interest Period relating thereto, the LIBOR Rate for such Loan for
     such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

               (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall pay
interest on any Loan or any installment thereof, and on any other amount payable
by the Borrowers hereunder (to the extent permitted by law) which are not paid
in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) for
the period commencing on the due date thereof until the same is paid in full at
the applicable Post-Default Rate.

               (c) Except as provided in the next sentence, accrued interest on
each Loan shall be payable: (i) in the case of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly on
the Quarterly Dates, (ii) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each
Interest Period for such Loan (and, if such Interest Period exceeds three
months' duration, quarterly, commencing on the first quarterly anniversary of
the first day of such Interest Period), and (iii) in the case of any Loan, upon
the payment or repayment thereof or the conversion thereof into a Loan of
another Type (but only on the principal so paid, repaid or converted); provided,
however, this clause (iii) shall not apply in the case of a conversion of a Base
Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan. Interest that is payable at the Post-Default Rate
shall be payable from time to time on demand of the Agent. Promptly after the
establishment of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein,
the Agent will notify the Banks and the Borrowers thereof, provided that the
failure of the Agent to so notify the Banks and the Borrowers shall not affect
the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or under any of the Notes in any
respect.

               (d) Anything in this Agreement or any of the Notes to the
contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of the Borrowers to make payments of
interest shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not
be required to be made to any Bank to the extent that such Bank's receipt
thereof would not be permissible under the law or laws applicable to such Bank
limiting rates of interest that may be charged or collected by such Bank. Any
such payments of interest that are not made as a result of the limitation
referred to in the preceding sentence shall be made by the Borrowers to such
Bank on the earliest interest payment date or dates on which the receipt thereof
would be permissible under the laws applicable to such Bank limiting rates of
interest that may be charged or collected by such Bank. Such deferred interest
shall not bear interest.

          SECTION 2.7 FEES.

               (a) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks
according to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, a non-refundable
origination fee (the "ORIGINATION FEE"), as set forth in a separate written
agreement.

               (b) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of the
Banks, pro rata according to their respective Commitments, a facility fee (the
"FACILITY FEE") on the daily average amount of such Bank's Commitment, for the
period from the date hereof to and including the earlier of (i) the date such
Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment is terminated, and (ii) the Revolving Credit
Commitment Termination Date, at the rate per annum equal to the Facility Fee
Percentage from time to time in effect on the amount of the Total Revolving
Credit Commitment. The accrued Facility Fee shall be payable on the Quarterly
Dates, and on the earlier of (i) the date the Total Revolving Credit Commitment
is terminated, or (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, and in
the event the Borrowers reduce the Total Revolving Credit Commitment as provided
in subsection 2.5(b) hereof, on the effective date of such reduction.

               (c) The Borrowers shall (i) pay to the Agent, for its own
account, an annual administrative agency fee (the "AGENCY FEE"), and (ii) pay to
each of the Agent and DBSI, for their respective accounts, an arrangement fee
(the "ARRANGEMENT FEE"), all as set forth in a separate written agreement.

               (d) The Origination Fee, the Facility Fee, the Agency Fee and the
Arrangement Fee are hereinafter sometimes referred to individually as a "FEE"
and collectively as the "FEES".

          SECTION 2.8 USE OF PROCEEDS OF LOANS.

          The proceeds of the Loans hereunder may be used by the Borrowers
solely as follows: (a) for the repayment in full of the outstanding principal
amount of, and all accrued interest on, the outstanding indebtedness of the
Borrowers under the Existing Loan Agreement, (b) to acquire Facilities and real
estate, whether developed or undeveloped, that the Borrowers intend to
principally use for a Facility, (c) to extend or acquire loans secured by
Mortgages, (d) to finance Construction Investments or for capital improvements
to a Facility previously financed by HCRI, (e) for investments that are not

          SECTION 2.10 MINIMUM AMOUNTS OF BORROWINGS, CONVERSIONS AND
               REPAYMENTS.

          Except for borrowings, conversions and repayments that exhaust the
full remaining amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (in the case of
borrowings) or result in the conversion or repayment of all Loans of a
particular Type (in the case of conversions or repayments) or conversions made
pursuant to Section 2.17, subsection 2.18(b) or Section 2.20 hereof, each
borrowing from each Bank, each conversion of Loans of one Type into Loans of
another Type and each repayment of principal of Loans hereunder shall be in a
minimum amount of One Million ($1,000,000) Dollars, in the case of Base Rate
Loans, and Three Million ($3,000,000) Dollars, in the case of LIBOR Loans, and
in either case if in excess thereof, in integral multiples of One Hundred
Thousand ($100,000) Dollars (borrowings, conversions and repayments of different
Types of Loans at the same time hereunder to be deemed separate borrowings,
conversions and repayments for purposes of the foregoing, one for each Type).
The Agent and the Borrowers may make immaterial mutually convenient adjustments
to the thresholds and multiples set forth above in respect of LIBOR Loans.

          SECTION 2.11 TIME AND METHOD OF PAYMENTS.

          All payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts (including
indemnities) payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in
immediately available funds, to the Agent at the Principal Office not later than
11:00 a.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, on the date on which such payment shall become
due (and the Agent or any Bank for whose account any such payment is to be made
may, but shall not be obligated to, debit the amount of any such payment that is
not made by such time to any ordinary deposit account of the Borrowers, or any
of them, with the Agent or such Bank, as the case may be). Additional provisions
relating to payments are set forth in Section 10.3 hereof. Each payment received
by the Agent hereunder for the account of a Bank shall be paid promptly to such
Bank, in like funds, for the account of such Bank's Lending Office for the Loan
in respect of which such payment is made.

          SECTION 2.12 LENDING OFFICES.

          The Loans of each Type made by each Bank shall be made and maintained
at such Bank's applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type.

          SECTION 2.13 SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS.

          The failure of any Bank to make any Loan to be made by it on the date
specified therefor shall not relieve the other Banks of their respective
obligations to make their Loans on such date, but no Bank shall be responsible
for the failure of the other Banks to make Loans to be made by such other Banks.

          SECTION 2.14 PRO RATA TREATMENT AMONG BANKS.

          Except as otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Banks
under Section 2.1 hereof will be made from the Banks and each payment of each
Fee (other than the Agency Fee, the Arrangement Fee and the Origination Fee)
shall be made for the account of the


                                      -19-

<PAGE>

Banks pro rata according to the amount of their respective Commitment; (b) each
partial reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be applied to
the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Banks pro rata according to each Bank's
respective Revolving Credit Commitment; (c) each payment and repayment of
principal of or interest on Loans will be made to the Agent for the account of
the Banks pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of
the Loans held by such Banks; and (d) each conversion of Loans of a particular
Type under Section 2.17 hereof (other than conversions provided for by Section
2.20 or 2.21 hereof) shall be made pro rata among the Banks holding Loans of
such Type according to the respective principal amounts of such Loans held by
such Banks.

          SECTION 2.15 NON-RECEIPT OF FUNDS BY THE AGENT.

          Unless the Agent shall have been notified by a Bank or the Borrowers
(the "PAYOR") prior to the date on which such Bank is to make payment to the
Agent of the proceeds of a Loan to be made by it hereunder or the Borrowers are
to make a payment to the Agent for the account of one or more of the Banks, as
the case may be (such payment being herein called the "REQUIRED PAYMENT"), which
notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make
the Required Payment to the Agent, the Agent may assume that the Required
Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not
be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on
such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the
Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand, repay to the Agent the
amount made available to it together with interest thereon in respect of each
day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available
by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum
equal (i) when the recipient is a Bank, the Federal Funds Rate for such day, or
(ii) the rate of interest applicable to such Loan (when the recipient is the
Borrowers).

          SECTION 2.16 SHARING OF PAYMENTS AND SET-OFF AMONG BANKS.

          The Borrowers hereby agree that, in addition to (and without
limitation of) any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim a Bank may
otherwise have, each Bank shall be entitled, at its option, to offset balances
held by it at any of its offices against any principal of or interest on any of
its Loans hereunder or any Fee payable to it, that is not paid when due
(regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Borrowers), in which
case it shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Agent thereof, provided that
its failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof. If a Bank
shall effect payment of any principal of or interest or Fee on Loans held by it
under this Agreement through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker's
lien, counterclaim or similar right, it shall promptly purchase from the other
Banks participations in the Loans held by the other Banks in such amounts, and
make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end
that all the Banks shall share the benefit of such payment pro rata in
accordance with the unpaid amount of principal and interest or Fee on the Loans
held by each of them. To such end all the Banks shall make appropriate
adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise)
if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrowers agree
that any Bank so purchasing a participation in the Loans held by the other Banks
may exercise all rights of set-off, banker's lien, counterclaim or similar
rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct
holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein


                                      -20-

<PAGE>

shall require any Bank to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of
any Bank to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with
respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrowers.

          SECTION 2.17 CONVERSION OF LOANS.

          The Borrowers shall have the right to convert Loans of one Type into
Loans of another Type from time to time, provided that: (i) the Borrowers shall
give the Agent notice of each such conversion as provided in Section 2.2 hereof;
(ii) LIBOR Loans may be converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for
such Loans; and (iii) no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan or
LIBOR Loan continued as or converted into another LIBOR Loan if on the proposed
date of conversion a Default or an Event of Default exists. The Agent shall use
its best efforts to notify the Borrowers of the effectiveness of such
conversion, and the new interest rate to which the converted Loans are subject,
as soon as practicable after the conversion; provided, however, that any failure
to give such notice shall not affect the Borrowers' obligations, or the Agent's
or the Banks' rights and remedies, hereunder in any way whatsoever.

          SECTION 2.18 ADDITIONAL COSTS; CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS.

               (a) In the event that any existing or future law or regulation,
guideline or interpretation thereof, by any court or administrative or
governmental authority (foreign or domestic) charged with the administration
thereof, or compliance by any Bank with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority shall impose, modify or deem
applicable or result in the application of, any capital maintenance, capital
ratio or similar requirement against loan commitments made by any Bank
hereunder, and the result of any event referred to above is to impose upon any
Bank or increase any capital requirement applicable as a result of the making or
maintenance of such Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment or the obligation of the
Borrowers hereunder with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitment (which
imposition of capital requirements may be determined by each Bank's reasonable
allocation of the aggregate of such capital increases or impositions), then,
within ten (10) Business Days' of demand made by such Bank as promptly as
practicable after it obtains knowledge that such law, regulation, guideline,
interpretation, request or directive exists and determines to make such demand,
the Borrowers shall pay to such Bank from time to time as specified by such Bank
additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate such Bank for such
imposition of or increase in capital requirements together with interest on each
such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the
Post-Default Rate. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount
necessary to compensate such Bank as a result of an imposition of or increase in
capital requirements submitted by such Bank to the Borrowers shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof. All references to
any "Bank" shall be deemed to include any participant in such Bank's Revolving
Credit Commitment.

               (b) In the event that any Regulatory Change shall: (i) change the
basis of taxation of any amounts payable to any Bank under this Agreement or the
Notes in respect of any Loans including, without limitation, LIBOR Loans (other
than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Bank for any such Loans by
the United States of America or the jurisdiction


                                      -21-

<PAGE>

in which such Bank has its principal office); or (ii) impose or modify any
reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premium or assessment, special
deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other
assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Bank (including
any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Base
Rate" in Article 1 hereof); or (iii) impose any other conditions affecting this
Agreement in respect of Loans, including, without limitation, LIBOR Loans (or
any of such extensions of credit, assets, deposits or liabilities); and the
result of any event referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to
increase such Bank's costs of making or maintaining any Loans including, without
limitation, LIBOR Loans, or its Revolving Credit Commitment, or to reduce any
amount receivable by such Bank hereunder in respect of its Commitment (such
increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable are hereinafter referred
to as "ADDITIONAL COSTS") in each case, only to the extent, with respect to
LIBOR Loans, that such Additional Costs are not included in the LIBOR Base Rate
applicable to LIBOR Loans, then, within ten (10) Business Days' of demand made
by such Bank as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge that such a
Regulatory Change exists and determines to make such demand (a copy of which
demand shall be delivered to the Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Bank
from time to time as specified by such Bank, additional amounts which shall be
sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction in
amounts receivable by such Bank from the date of such change, together with
interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full
thereof at the Post-Default Rate. All references to any "Bank" shall be deemed
to include any participant in such Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment.

               (c) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of
this Section 2.18, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any
Bank either: (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess
above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other
liabilities of such Bank which includes deposits by reference to which the
interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a
category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Bank which includes
LIBOR Loans, or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a
category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Bank so elects
by notice to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such
Bank to make, and to convert Loans of any other Type into, Loans of such Type
hereunder shall be suspended until the date such Regulatory Change ceases to be
in effect (and all Loans of such Type then outstanding shall be converted into
Base Rate Loans or into LIBOR Loans of another duration as the case may be, in
accordance with Sections 2.17 and 2.21).

               (d) Determinations by any Bank for purposes of this Section 2.18
of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making or maintaining
Loans or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the additional
amounts required to compensate such Bank in respect of any Additional Costs,
shall be set forth in writing in reasonable detail describing the Additional
Costs together with a calculation demonstrating the allocation to the Borrowers
of such Additional Costs which shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

          SECTION 2.19 LIMITATION ON TYPES OF LOANS.

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to
the determination of an interest rate for any LIBOR Loans for any Interest
Period therefor, the Required Banks determine (which determination shall be
conclusive):

               (a) by reason of any event affecting the money markets in the
United States of America or the London interbank market, quotations of interest
rates for the relevant deposits are not being provided in the relevant amounts
or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the rate of interest
for such Loans under this Agreement; or

               (b) the rates of interest referred to in the definition of "LIBOR
Base Rate" in Article 1 hereof upon the basis of which the rate of interest on
any LIBOR Loans for such period is determined, do not accurately reflect the
cost to the Banks of making or maintaining such Loans for such period;

then the Agent shall give the Borrowers and each Bank prompt notice thereof (and
shall thereafter give the Borrowers and each Bank prompt notice of the
cessation, if any, of such condition), and so long as such condition remains in
effect, the Banks shall be under no obligation to make Loans of such Type or to
convert Loans of any other Type into Loans of such Type and the Borrowers shall,
on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding
Loans of the affected Type either repay such Loans in accordance with Section
2.5 hereof or convert such Loan into Loans of another Type in accordance with
Section 2.17 hereof.

          SECTION 2.20 ILLEGALITY.

          Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event
that it becomes unlawful for any Bank or its applicable Lending Office to: (a)
honor its obligation to make LIBOR Loans hereunder, or (b) maintain LIBOR Loans
hereunder, then such Bank shall promptly notify the Borrowers thereof (with a
copy to the Agent), describing such illegality in reasonable detail (and shall
thereafter promptly notify the Borrowers and the Agent of the cessation, if any,
of such illegality), and such Bank's obligation to make LIBOR Loans and to
convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans hereunder shall, upon written notice
given by such Bank to the Borrowers, be suspended until such time as such Bank
may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans and such Bank's outstanding LIBOR Loans
shall be converted into Base Rate Loans, in accordance with Sections 2.17 and
2.21 hereof.

          SECTION 2.21 CERTAIN CONVERSIONS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 2.18 AND 2.20.

          If the Loans of any Bank of a particular Type (Loans of such Type are
hereinafter referred to as "AFFECTED LOANS" and such Type is hereinafter
referred to as the "AFFECTED TYPE") are to be converted pursuant to Section 2.18
or 2.20 hereof, such Bank's Affected Loans shall be converted into Base Rate
Loans, or LIBOR Loans of another Type, as the case may be (the "NEW TYPE
LOANS"), on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the
Affected Loans (or, in the case of a conversion required by subsection 2.18(b)
or Section 2.20 hereof, on such earlier date as such Bank may specify to the
Borrowers with a copy to the Agent) and, until such Bank gives notice as
provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.18 or 2.20 hereof
which gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:


                                      -23-

<PAGE>

               (a) to the extent that such Bank's Affected Loans have been so
     converted, all repayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to
     such Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its New Type Loans;

               (b) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as Loans
     of the Affected Type shall be made instead as New Type Loans and all Loans
     of such Bank which would otherwise be converted into Loans of the Affected
     Type shall be converted instead into (or shall remain as) New Type Loans.

          SECTION 2.22 INDEMNIFICATION.

          The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank,
upon the request of such Bank through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall
compensate such Bank for any loss (including loss of profit), cost or expense
incurred by such Bank (as reasonably determined by such Bank) as a result of:

               (a) any payment or repayment or conversion of a LIBOR Loan held
     by such Bank on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for
     such LIBOR Loan except pursuant to Sections 2.18 or 2.20 hereof; or

               (b) any failure by the Borrowers to borrow a LIBOR Loan held by
     such Bank on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant
     Borrowing Notice under Section 2.2 hereof,

such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to: (i) any
loss or expense suffered by such Bank during the period from the date of receipt
of such early payment or repayment or the date of such conversion to the last
day of such Interest Period if the rate of interest obtainable by such Bank upon
the redeployment of an amount of funds equal to such Bank's pro rata share of
such payment, repayment or conversion or failure to borrow or convert is less
than the rate of interest applicable to such LIBOR Loan for such Interest
Period, or (ii) any loss or expense suffered by such Bank in liquidating LIBOR
deposits prior to maturity which correspond to such Bank's pro rata share of
such payment, repayment, conversion, failure to borrow or failure to convert.
The determination by each such Bank of the amount of any such loss or expense,
when set forth in a written notice to the Borrowers, containing such Bank's
calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall be presumed correct, in the
absence of manifest error.

          SECTION 2.23 EXTENSION OF REVOLVING CREDIT COMMITMENT TERMINATION
               DATE.

          Subject to the following provisions, the Borrowers shall have the
option to extend the initial Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date to
July 26, 2010. By written notice to the Agent delivered no later than six (6)
months prior to the initial Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred since the date of this Agreement, the
Borrowers may request such extension to the initial Revolving Credit Commitment
Termination Date (which request shall be accompanied by a Compliance
Certificate). Promptly upon receipt of such written notice, the Agent shall
deliver a copy to each Bank and the initial Revolving Credit Commitment
Termination Date shall be deemed so extended. In the event that the Borrowers
shall have delivered an extension notice under this


                                      -24-

<PAGE>

Section 2.23, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the ratable benefit of
the Banks on the initial Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, a
non-refundable extension fee in an amount equal to twenty (20) basis points
multiplied by the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, as then in effect.

     ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

     Each of the Borrowers hereby represents and warrants to the Banks and the
Agent that:

          SECTION 3.1 ORGANIZATION.

               (a) Each Borrower is duly organized and validly existing under
the laws of its state of organization and has the power to own its assets and to
transact the business in which it is presently engaged and in which it proposes
to be engaged. Schedule 3.1 hereto accurately and completely lists, as to each
Borrower: (i) the state of incorporation or organization of each such entity,
(ii) as to each of them that is a corporation, the classes and number of
authorized and outstanding shares of capital stock of each such corporation, and
(iii) the business in which each of such entities is engaged. All of the
foregoing shares or other equity interests that are issued and outstanding have
been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. Except as
set forth on Schedule 3.1, none of the Borrowers has any Subsidiary.

               (b) Each Borrower is in good standing in its state of
organization and in each state in which it is qualified to do business. There
are no jurisdictions other than as set forth on Schedule 3.1 hereto in which the
character of the properties owned or proposed to be owned by each Borrower or in
which the transaction of the business of each Borrower as now conducted or as
proposed to be conducted requires or will require such Borrower to qualify to do
business and as to which failure so to qualify could have a Material Adverse
Effect on such Borrower.

          SECTION 3.2 POWER, AUTHORITY, CONSENTS.

          Each Borrower has the power to execute, deliver and perform the Loan
Documents to be executed by it. Each Borrower has the power to borrow hereunder
and has taken all necessary action, corporate or otherwise, to authorize the
borrowing hereunder on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Borrower
has taken all necessary action, corporate or otherwise, to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to be executed by it.
No consent or approval of any Person (including, without limitation, any
stockholder of any Borrower), no consent or approval of any landlord or
mortgagee, no waiver of any Lien or right of distraint or other similar right
and no consent, license, certificate of need, approval, authorization or
declaration of any governmental authority, bureau or agency, is or will be
required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by each
Borrower, or the validity or enforcement of the Loan Documents, except as set
forth on Schedule 3.2 hereto, each of which either has been duly and validly
obtained on or prior to the date hereof and is now in full force and effect, or
is designated on Schedule 3.2 as waived by the Required Banks.


                                      -25-

<PAGE>

          SECTION 3.3 NO VIOLATION OF LAW OR AGREEMENTS.

          The execution and delivery by each Borrower of each Loan Document to
which it is a party and performance by it hereunder and thereunder, will not
violate any provision of law and will not conflict with or result in a breach of
any order, writ, injunction, ordinance, resolution, decree, or other similar
document or instrument of any court or governmental authority, bureau or agency,
domestic or foreign, or any certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other
organizational document of each Borrower, or create (with or without the giving
of notice or lapse of time, or both) a default under or breach of any agreement,
bond, note or indenture to which any Borrower is a party, or by which any
Borrower is bound or any of their respective properties or assets is affected,
except for such defaults and breaches which in the aggregate could not have a
Material Adverse Effect on the Borrowers, or result in the imposition of any
Lien of any nature whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets owned by or
used in connection with the business of each Borrower.

          SECTION 3.4 DUE EXECUTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEABILITY.

          This Agreement and each other Loan Document to which each Borrower is
a party has been duly executed and delivered by each Borrower that is a party
thereto and each constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of each
Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
or other similar laws, now or hereafter in effect, relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and except that the remedy of
specific performance and other equitable remedies are subject to judicial
discretion.

          SECTION 3.5 TITLE TO PROPERTIES.

          Each of the Borrowers has good and marketable title in fee simple to,
or valid leasehold interests in, all real property necessary or used in the
ordinary course of its business, except for such defects in title as could not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.6 JUDGMENTS, ACTIONS, PROCEEDINGS.

          Except as set forth on Schedule 3.6 hereto, there are no outstanding
judgments, investigations, actions or proceedings, including, without
limitation, any Environmental Proceeding, pending before any court or
governmental authority, bureau or agency, with respect to or, to the best of
each Borrower's knowledge, threatened against or affecting such Borrower or any
of its assets involving, in the case of any court proceeding, a claim in excess
of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand ($250,000) Dollars, nor, to the best of each
Borrower's knowledge, is there any reasonable basis for the institution of any
such action or proceeding that is probable of assertion, nor are there any
pending actions or proceedings in which any Borrower is a plaintiff or
complainant.

          SECTION 3.7 NO DEFAULTS, COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

          Except as set forth on Schedule 3.7 hereto, none of the Borrowers is
in default under any agreement, ordinance, resolution, decree, bond, note,
indenture, order or judgment to


                                      -26-

<PAGE>

which it is a party or by which it is bound, or any other agreement or other
instrument by which any of the properties or assets owned by it or used in the
conduct of its business is affected, which default could have a Material Adverse
Effect on such Borrower. Each Borrower has complied and is in compliance in all
respects with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations, resolutions,
ordinances, decrees and other similar documents and instruments of all courts
and governmental authorities, bureaus and agencies, domestic and foreign,
including, without limitation, all applicable provisions of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. Section 12101-12213) and the regulations issued
thereunder and all applicable Environmental Laws and Regulations, non-compliance
with which could have a Material Adverse Effect on such Borrower.

          SECTION 3.8 BURDENSOME DOCUMENTS.

          Except as set forth on Schedule 3.8 hereto, none of the Borrowers is a
party to or bound by, nor are any of the properties or assets owned by any of
the Borrowers used in the conduct of their respective businesses affected by,
any agreement, ordinance, resolution, decree, bond, note, indenture, order or
judgment, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to any
Environmental Liability, that materially and adversely affects their respective
businesses, assets or conditions, financial or otherwise.

          SECTION 3.9 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; PROJECTIONS.

               (a) Each of the Financial Statements is complete and presents
fairly the consolidated financial position of HCRI and its Subsidiaries as at
its date, and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP. None of the Borrowers
to which any of the Financial Statements relates, has any material obligation,
liability or commitment, direct or contingent (including, without limitation,
any Environmental Liability), that is not reflected in the Financial Statements.
There has been no material adverse change in the financial position or
operations of any of the Borrowers since the date of the latest balance sheet
included in the Financial Statements (the "LATEST BALANCE SHEET"). Each
Borrower's fiscal year is the twelve-month period ending on December 31 in each
year.

               (b) The Projections have been prepared on the basis of the
assumptions accompanying them and reflect as of the date thereof HCRI's good
faith projections, after reasonable analysis, of the matters set forth therein,
based on such assumptions.

          SECTION 3.10 TAX RETURNS.

          Each Borrower has filed all federal, state and local tax returns
required to be filed by it and has not failed to pay any taxes, or interest and
penalties relating thereto, on or before the due dates thereof. Except to the
extent that reserves therefor are reflected in the Financial Statements: (i)
there are no material federal, state or local tax liabilities of any of the
Borrowers, due or to become due for any tax year ended on or prior to the date
of the Latest Balance Sheet relating to such entity, whether incurred in respect
of or measured by the income of such entity, that are not properly reflected in
the Latest Balance Sheet relating to such entity, and (ii) there are no material
claims pending or, to the knowledge of each of the Borrowers, proposed or


                                      -27-

<PAGE>

threatened against such Borrower for past federal, state or local taxes, except
those, if any, as to which proper reserves are reflected in the Financial
Statements.

          SECTION 3.11 INTANGIBLE ASSETS.

          Each Borrower possesses all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade
names, and copyrights, and rights with respect to the foregoing, necessary to
conduct its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, without
any conflict with the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, and
copyrights and rights with respect to the foregoing, of any other Person.

          SECTION 3.12 REGULATION U.

          No part of the proceeds received by any of the Borrowers from the
Loans will be used directly or indirectly for: (a) any purpose other than as set
forth in Section 2.8 hereof, or (b) the purpose of purchasing or carrying, or
for payment in full or in part of Indebtedness that was incurred for the
purposes of purchasing or carrying, any "margin stock", as such term is defined
in Section 221.3 of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, 12 C.F.R., Chapter II, Part 221.

          SECTION 3.13 NAME CHANGES, MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS.

          Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13 hereto, none of the Borrowers has
within the six-year period immediately preceding the date of this Agreement
changed its name, been the surviving entity of a merger or consolidation, or,
except in the ordinary course of business, acquired all or substantially all of
the assets of any Person.

          SECTION 3.14 FULL DISCLOSURE.

          Neither the Financial Statements nor any certificate, opinion, or any
other statement made or furnished in writing to the Agent or any Bank by or on
behalf of the Borrowers in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated herein, contains any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained
therein or herein not misleading, as of the date such statement was made. There
is no fact known to any Borrower that has, or would in the now foreseeable
future have, a Material Adverse Effect on such Borrower, which fact has not been
set forth herein, in the Financial Statements or any certificate, opinion or
other written statement so made or furnished to the Agent or the Banks.

          SECTION 3.15 LICENSES AND APPROVALS.

               (a) Each Borrower has all necessary licenses, permits and
governmental authorizations, including, without limitation, licenses, permits
and authorizations arising under or relating to Environmental Laws and
Regulations, to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as
now conducted, the absence of which would have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Borrowers.


                                      -28-

<PAGE>

               (b) To the best of HCRI's knowledge, no violation exists of any
applicable law pertaining to the ownership or operation of any Facility or any
Operator that would have a reasonable likelihood of leading to revocation of any
license necessary for the operation of such Facility.

          SECTION 3.16 ERISA.

               (a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.16 hereto, no Employee
Benefit Plan is maintained or has ever been maintained by any Loan Party or any
ERISA Affiliate, nor has any Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate ever contributed
to a Multiemployer Plan.

               (b) There are no agreements which will provide payments to any
officer, employee, shareholder or highly compensated individual which will be
"parachute payments" under 280G of the Code that are nondeductible to any Loan
Party and which will be subject to tax under Section 4999 of the Code for which
any Loan Party will have a material withholding liability.

          SECTION 3.17 REIT STATUS.

          HCRI currently has REIT Status and has maintained REIT Status on a
continuous basis since its formation. None of the Subsidiaries of HCRI currently
has REIT Status.

shall deliver to each Bank:

          SECTION 5.1 ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

          Annually, as soon as available, but in any event within ninety (90)
days after the last day of each of its fiscal years, a consolidated balance

obligations to deliver the financial statements described in this Section 5.1 by
furnishing to the Banks a copy of its annual report on Form 10-K in respect of

          SECTION 5.3 COMPLIANCE INFORMATION.

          Promptly after a written request therefor, such other financial data

executive officer or chief financial officer of HCRI to the effect that no Event
of Default hereunder and that no default under any other agreement to which any
Borrower is a party or by which it is bound, or by which, to the best knowledge

     ARTICLE 9. THE AGENT.

          SECTION 9.1 APPOINTMENT, POWERS AND IMMUNITIES.

          Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act
as its agent hereunder and the other Loan Documents with such powers as are
specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not
be a trustee for any Bank. The Agent shall not be responsible to the Banks for
any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any certificate or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents, or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or
for the collectibility of the Loans or for any failure by any Borrower to
perform any of its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The
Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable,
except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for
the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by
it with reasonable care. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or the other Loan Documents or in
connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence
or willful misconduct.

          SECTION 9.2 RELIANCE BY AGENT.

          The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or
other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram or
cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent
by or on behalf of the proper person or persons, and upon advice and statements
of legal counsel, independent accountants and other


                                      -46-

<PAGE>

experts selected by the Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or the other
Loan Documents in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Banks, and
such instructions of the Required Banks and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks.

          SECTION 9.3 EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

          The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a
Default (other than the non-payment of principal of or interest on Loans) unless
the Agent has received notice from a Bank or the Borrower specifying such
Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default". In the event that
the Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Agent shall
give notice thereof to the Banks (and shall give each Bank notice of each such
non-payment). The Agent shall (subject to Section 9.7 hereof) take such action
with respect to such Default as shall be directed in writing by the Required
Banks (or all of the Banks, if required by the terms of this Agreement).

          SECTION 9.4 RIGHTS AS A BANK.

          With respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans made by
it, the Agent in its capacity as a Bank hereunder shall have the same rights and
powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were
not acting as the Agent, and the term "Bank" or "Banks" shall, unless the
context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The
Agent and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Bank)
accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust or other business with each Borrower or its Affiliates, as if it were not
acting as the Agent, and the Agent may accept fees and other consideration from
each Borrower or its Affiliates, for services in connection with this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise without having to account for
the same to the Banks.

          SECTION 9.5 INDEMNIFICATION.

          The Banks shall indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by
each Borrower under Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof), ratably in accordance with
the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made by the Banks (or, if no Loans
are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective
Revolving Credit Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other documents contemplated
by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated by or
referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that each
Borrower is obligated to pay under Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof, but excluding
normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its
agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any
such other documents, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any of the
foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the party to be indemnified.


                                      -47-

<PAGE>

          SECTION 9.6 NON-RELIANCE ON AGENT AND OTHER BANKS.

          Each Bank agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on
the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Borrower and
decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be required to keep itself
informed as to the performance or observance by each Borrower of this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for
herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of each Borrower. Except
for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to
be furnished to the Banks by the Agent hereunder or the other Loan Documents,
the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any
credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or
business of each Borrower, that may come into the possession of the Agent or any
of its Affiliates.

          SECTION 9.7 FAILURE TO ACT.

          Except for action expressly required of the Agent hereunder, the Agent
shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or
thereunder unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks
against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action.

          SECTION 9.8 RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF AGENT.

          Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as
provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 10
days' prior written notice thereof to the Banks and each Borrower and the Agent
may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Banks. Upon any
such resignation or removal, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint
a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the
Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Required Banks' removal
of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks,
after consultation with the Borrowers, appoint a successor Agent which shall be
a bank with a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any
retiring Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of
this Article 9 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent.

          SECTION 9.9 SHARING OF PAYMENTS.

               (a) Prior to any acceleration by the Agent and the Banks of the
Obligations:


                                      -48-

<PAGE>

                    (i) in the event that any Bank shall obtain payment in
     respect of a Note, or interest thereon, whether voluntarily or
     involuntarily, and whether through the exercise of a right of banker's
     lien, set-off or counterclaim against each Borrower or otherwise, in a
     greater proportion than any such payment obtained by any other Bank in
     respect of the corresponding Note held by it, then the Bank so receiving
     such greater proportionate payment shall purchase for cash from the other
     Bank or Banks such portion of each such other Bank's or Banks' Loan as
     shall be necessary to cause such Bank receiving the proportionate
     overpayment to share the excess payment with each Bank; and

                    (ii) in the event that any Bank shall obtain payment in
     respect of any Interest Rate Contract to which such Bank is a party,
     whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and whether through the exercise of a
     right of banker's lien, set-off or counterclaim against each Borrower or
     otherwise, such Bank shall be permitted to retain the full amount of such
     payment and shall not be required to share such payment with any other
     Bank.

               (b) Upon or following any acceleration by the Agent and the Banks
of the Obligations, in the event that any Bank shall obtain payment in respect
of a Note, or interest or Fees thereon, or in respect of an Interest Rate
Contract to which such Bank is a party, whether voluntarily or involuntarily,
and whether through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, set-off or
counterclaim against each Borrower or otherwise, in a greater proportion than
any such payment obtained by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount
of the corresponding Note held by such Bank and any Interest Rate Contract to
which such Bank is a party, then the Bank so receiving such greater
proportionate payment shall purchase for cash from the other Bank or Banks such
portion of each such other Bank's or Banks' Loan as shall be necessary to cause
such Bank receiving the proportionate overpayment to share the excess payment
with each Bank. For the purposes of this subsection 9.9(b), payments on Notes
received by each Bank shall be in the same proportion as the proportion of: (A)
the sum of: (x) the Obligations owing to such Bank in respect of the Note held
by such Bank, plus (y) the Obligations owing to such Bank in respect of Interest
Rate Contracts to which such Bank is party, if any, to (B) the sum of: (x) the
Obligations owing to all of the Banks in respect of all of the Notes, plus (y)
the Obligations owing to all of the Banks in respect of all Interest Rate
Contracts to which any Bank is a party; provided, however, that, with respect to
subsections 9.9(a)(i) and (b) above, if all or any portion of such excess
payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from the Bank that received the
proportionate overpayment, such purchase of Loans or payment of benefits, as the
case may be, shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned,
to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

     ARTICLE 10. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

Banks).

counsel) suffered or incurred by each Bank in connection with its enforcement of
the payment of the Notes held by it or any other sum due to it under this

hereunder or thereunder. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrowers shall
indemnify each Bank and the Agent and each of their respective directors,

incurred by any of them arising out of, resulting from or in any manner
connected with, the execution, delivery and performance of each of the Loan
Documents, the Loans and any and all transactions related to or consummated in
connection with the Loans (other than as a result of the gross negligence,
willful misconduct or intentional violation of law by the party seeking
indemnification), including, without limitation, losses, liabilities, damages,
penalties, claims, costs and expenses suffered or incurred by any Bank or the
Agent or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys,

Environmental Proceeding, or in investigating, preparing for, defending against,

of any commenced or threatened litigation, administrative proceeding or
investigation under any federal securities law or any other statute of any
jurisdiction, or any regulation, or at common law or otherwise against the
Agent, the Banks or any of their officers, directors, affiliates, agents or

it shall be determined that any Federal, state or local tax is payable in
respect of the issuance of any Note, or in connection with the filing or
recording of any assignments, mortgages, financing statements, or other
documents (whether measured by the amount of Indebtedness secured or otherwise)
as contemplated by this Agreement, then each Borrower will pay any such tax and
all interest and penalties, if any, and will indemnify the Banks and the Agent
against and save each of them harmless from any loss or damage resulting from or
arising out of the nonpayment or delay in payment of any such tax. If any such
tax or taxes shall be assessed or levied against any Bank or any other holder of
a Note, such Bank, or such other holder, as the case may be, may notify each
Borrower and make immediate payment thereof, together with interest or penalties
in connection therewith, and shall thereupon be entitled to and shall receive
immediate reimbursement therefor from each Borrower. Notwithstanding any other
provision contained in this Agreement, the covenants and agreements of the
Borrowers in this Section 10.2 shall survive payment of the Notes and the
termination of this Agreement.

          SECTION 10.3 PAYMENTS.

          As set forth in Article 2 hereof, all payments by each Borrower on
account of principal, interest, fees and other charges (including any
indemnities) shall be made to the Agent at the Principal Office of the Agent, in
lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, by
wire transfer or otherwise, not later than 11:00 A.M. Cleveland, Ohio time on
the date such payment is due. Any such payment made on such date but after such
time shall, if the amount paid bears interest, be deemed to have been made on,
and interest shall continue to accrue and be payable thereon until, the next
succeeding Business Day. If any payment of principal or interest becomes due on
a day other than a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and such extension shall be included in computing interest in
connection with such payment. All payments hereunder and under the Notes shall
be made without set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary
in order that all such payments shall not be less than the amounts otherwise
specified to be paid under this Agreement and the Notes (after withholding for
or on account of: (i) any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties or
other similar charges of whatever nature imposed by any government or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, other than any tax (except
those referred to in clause (ii) below) on or measured by the net income of the
Bank to which any such payment is due pursuant to applicable federal, state and
local income tax laws, and (ii) deduction of amounts equal to the taxes on or
measured by the net income of such Bank payable by such Bank with respect to the
amount by which the payments required to be made under this sentence exceed the
amounts otherwise specified to be paid in this Agreement and the Notes). Upon
payment in full of any Note, the Bank holding such Note shall mark the Note
"Paid" and return it to the Borrowers.

agreement and understanding among the Banks, the Agent and the Borrowers and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter
hereof.

          SECTION 10.7 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; COUNTERCLAIMS.

          Each and every right granted to the Agent and the Banks hereunder or
under any other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or
allowed it by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time

right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. The due payment and performance of the Obligations shall be without
regard to any counterclaim, right of offset or any other claim whatsoever that
any Borrower may have against any Bank or the Agent and without regard to any
other obligation of any nature whatsoever that any Bank or the Agent may have to
any Borrower, and no such counterclaim or offset shall be asserted by any
Borrower (unless such counter-claim or offset would, under applicable law, be
permanently and irrevocably lost if not brought in such action) in any action,
suit or proceeding instituted by any Bank or the Agent for payment or
performance of the Obligations.

          SECTION 10.8 FURTHER ASSURANCES.

          This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each

all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment, the
Loans owing to it, and the Note held by it); provided, however, that: (i) the
Borrowers and the Agent must give prior written consent to such assignment
(unless such assignment is to an Affiliate of such Bank or to another Bank),
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance,
and a processing fee of $3,500.00, (iii) each such assignment shall be of a
constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of the assigning Bank's rights
and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) the amount of the Revolving Credit
Commitment of the assigning Bank being assigned pursuant to each such assignment
(determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such
assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 and shall be an integral
multiple of $1,000,000, and (v) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible
Assignee. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date
shall be at least five (5) Business Days after the execution thereof: (x) the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder, and (y) the
Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance,
relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining
portion of an assigning Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Bank shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in clause (a)(i) above, no consent of the Borrowers shall be required for an
assignment if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

               (b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the
Bank assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with
each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided
in such Assignment and

<PAGE>

Acceptance, such assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes
no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations
made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or
any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning
Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to the financial condition of each Borrower or the performance or
observance by each Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or
any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee
confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of
such financial statements and such other documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Bank or any other Bank and based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi)
such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on
its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to
the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in
accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this
Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank.

               (c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by
an assigning Bank and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee,
together with any Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall: (i) accept
such Assignment and Acceptance, and (ii) give prompt notice thereof to the
Borrowers. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the
Borrowers, at their own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent in
exchange for the surrendered Note a new Note to the order of such Eligible
Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Bank has
retained a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, a new Note to the order of the
assigning Bank in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment retained by
it hereunder. Such new Note shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note, shall be dated the
effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in
substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto.

               (d) Each Bank may, without the prior consent of the Agent, the
other Banks or the Borrowers, sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit
Commitment, the Loans owing to it, and the Note held by it); provided, however,
that: (i) such Bank's obligations under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for
the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Bank shall remain the holder of
any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Borrowers, the Agent
and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in
connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement.

               (c) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such

     the Agent; unless in any such case under clause (b) above an event
     (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation)
     has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise
     be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would
     prevent such Bank from duly completing and delivering any such form with
     respect to it and such Bank so advises the Borrower and the Agent. Such
     Bank shall certify with respect to Form W-8BEN or W8ECI, as appropriate
     that (i) it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without

     that is an assignee hereunder shall, prior to the effectiveness of the
     related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements
     required pursuant to this Section 10.14.

$____________                                               DATED: JULY 26, 2006

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each of the undersigned (collectively, the
"BORROWERS"), hereby jointly and severally promises to pay to the order of
___________________________ (the "BANK") on the Revolving Credit Commitment
Termination Date, the principal sum of _____________________ Dollars
($__________), or such lesser amount as shall be equal to the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Loans outstanding on the close of business on the
Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date made by the Bank to the Borrowers;
and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the date
thereof at the rates per annum and for the periods set forth in or established
by the Agreement and calculated as provided therein.

     All indebtedness outstanding under this Note shall bear interest (computed
in the same manner as interest on this Note prior to the relevant due date) at
the applicable Post-Default Rate for all periods when an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, commencing on the occurrence of such Event of
Default until such Event of Default has been cured or waived as acknowledged in
writing by the Agent, and all of such interest shall be payable on demand.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of the
Borrowers to make payments of interest shall be subject to the limitation that
payments of interest shall not be required to be made to the Bank to the extent
that the Bank's receipt thereof would not be permissible under the law or laws
applicable to the Bank limiting rates of interest which may be charged or
collected by the Bank. Any such payments of interest which are not made as a
result of the limitation referred to in the preceding sentence shall be made by
the Borrowers to the Bank on the earliest interest payment date or dates on
which the receipt thereof would be permissible under the laws applicable to the
Bank limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by the Bank.

     Payments of both principal and interest on this Note are to be made to the
office of KeyBank National Association, as Agent, at 127 Public Square,
Cleveland, Ohio 44114-1306 or such other place as the holder hereof shall
designate to the Borrowers in writing, in lawful money of the United States of
America in immediately available funds.

     This Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the
benefits of, the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated of even date
herewith by and among the Borrowers, the Banks signatory thereto (including the
Bank) and the Agent (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the
"AGREEMENT"). [This Note supersedes and is given in replacement of the Note
dated June 22, 2005 made by the Borrowers to the order of the Bank in the
original principal amount of $___________ but does not constitute a novation,
extinguishment or termination of the obligations evidenced thereby.] Capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings
ascribed thereto in the Agreement.

     The Bank is hereby authorized by the Borrowers to record on the schedule to
this Note (or on a supplemental schedule thereto) the amount of each Loan made
by the Bank to the Borrowers and the amount of each payment or repayment of
principal of such Loans received by the Bank, it being understood, however, that
failure to make any such notation shall not affect the rights of the Bank or the
obligations of the Borrowers hereunder in respect of this Note. The Bank may, at
its option, record such matters in its internal records rather than on such
schedule.

     Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the principal amount and
accrued interest on this Note may be declared due and payable in the manner and
with the effect provided in the Agreement.

     The Borrowers shall pay costs and expenses of collection, including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements in the event that any
action, suit or proceeding is brought by the holder hereof to collect this Note.

     THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS RULES PERTAINING
TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

correct and complete as of the close of business on [DATE] and are in conformity

ordinary course of business, none of which either singly or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
