                AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT, TERM LOAN
                             AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

         THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT, TERM LOAN AND SECURITY
AGREEMENT (the "AGREEMENT") dated as of January 25, 2002, is entered into
between OPTICARE HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("PARENT"),
OPTICARE EYE HEALTH CENTERS, INC., a Connecticut corporation ("OPTICARE"), and
PRIMEVISION HEALTH, INC., a Delaware corporation ("PVH"; Parent, OptiCare and
PVH shall be referred to herein, individually and collectively, as "BORROWER"),
and CAPITALSOURCE FINANCE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("LENDER").

         WHEREAS, Opticare, PVH, Consolidated Eye Care, Inc., a North Carolina
corporation ("CEC"), and Parent, as borrowers, the financial institutions from
time to time party thereto (the "PRIOR LENDERS"), Bank Austria, AG, as LC Issuer
and Bank Austria Creditanstalt Corporate Finance, Inc., as agent for the Prior
Lenders, are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement, dated as of August 13, 1999 (the "ORIGINAL LOAN AGREEMENT"), pursuant
to which, among other things, the Prior Lenders made available to Borrower term
loans in an aggregate original principal amount of Twenty One Million Five
Hundred Thousand ($21,500,000) and a revolving credit facility providing for
revolving loans of up to Twelve Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars
($12,700,000) (collectively, the "PRIOR LOANS"); and

         WHEREAS, Prior Lenders desire to sell and assign to Lender the Prior
Loans and all of their rights and obligations under the Loan Agreement and all
other documents related to the Prior Loans; and

         WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Lender amend and restate the
Original Loan Agreement and restructure the Prior Loans and make available to
Borrower (i) a revolving credit facility (the "REVOLVING FACILITY") in a maximum
principal amount at any time outstanding of up to TEN MILLION DOLLARS
($10,000,000) (the "FACILITY CAP") and (ii) a term loan (the "TERM LOAN") in a
maximum principal amount of THREE MILLION DOLLARS ($3,000,000) (the "MAXIMUM
TERM LOAN AMOUNT"), the proceeds of which shall be used by Borrower for
refinancing Borrower's existing obligations and indebtedness and for working
capital needs in connection with its businesses of medical practice services,
managed care services and the purchase and resale of optical products; and

         WHEREAS, Lender is willing to restructure the loan facilities under the
Original Loan Agreement, and make the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan
available to Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
herein.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which hereby are
acknowledged, Borrower and Lender hereby agree as follows:

I.  DEFINITIONS

    1.1  GENERAL TERMS

         For purposes of this Agreement, in addition to the definitions above
and elsewhere in this Agreement, the terms listed in Appendix A hereto shall
have the meanings given such terms in Appendix A, which is incorporated herein
and made a part hereof. All capitalized terms used which are

<PAGE>

not specifically defined shall have meanings provided in Article 9 of the UCC in
effect on the date hereof to the extent the same are used or defined therein.
Unless otherwise specified herein or in Appendix A, any agreement or contract
referred to herein or in Appendix A shall mean such agreement as modified,
amended or supplemented from time to time. Unless otherwise specified, as used
in the Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, instrument or other
document made or delivered pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, all accounting
terms not defined in Appendix A elsewhere in this Agreement shall have the
meanings given to such terms in and shall be interpreted in accordance with
GAAP.

II. ADVANCES, PAYMENT AND INTEREST

    2.1  THE REVOLVING FACILITY; OVERADVANCE

         (a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Lender shall make
Advances to Borrower under the Revolving Facility from time to time during the
Term, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
aggregate amount of all Advances at any one time outstanding under the Revolving
Facility shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Facility Cap, and (b) the
Availability. The Revolving Facility is a revolving credit facility, which may
be drawn, repaid and redrawn, from time to time as permitted under this
Agreement. Any determination as to whether there is availability within the
Borrowing Base for Advances shall be made by Lender in its sole discretion and
is final and binding upon Borrower. Unless otherwise permitted by Lender, each
Advance shall be in an amount of at least $1,000. Subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, Borrower may request Advances under the Revolving Facility up to
and including the value, in Dollars, of (i) eighty-five percent (85%) of the
Borrowing Base for Accounts Receivables, provided, however, that commencing on
April 1, 2002 and for the remainder of the Revolver Term, such percentage shall
be eighty percent (80%); provided further, that any amounts advanced based on
the 85% Advance Rate that, as of May 1, 2002 are outstanding and in excess of
the Availability under the revised Advance Rate, shall be amortized and repaid
in full by July 31, 2002, provided, further, however, that any such amounts in
excess of the Availability shall be repaid from the proceeds of any HSO Contract
sales, plus (ii) fifty-five percent (55%) of the Borrowing Base for Eligible
Inventory Costs minus, if applicable, amounts reserved pursuant to this
Agreement (such calculated amount being referred to herein as the
"AVAILABILITY"). Advances under the Revolving Facility automatically shall be
made for the payment of interest on the Revolving Note and other Obligations on
the date when due to the extent available and as provided for herein.

         (b) Lender has established the above-referenced advance rate for
Availability and, in its sole credit judgment, may further adjust the
Availability and such advance rate by applying percentages (known as "liquidity
factors") to Eligible Receivables by payor class based upon Borrower's actual
recent collection history for each such payor class (i.e., Medicare, Medicaid,
commercial insurance, etc.) in a manner consistent with Lender's underwriting
practices and procedures, including without limitation Lender's review and
analysis of, among other things, Borrower's historical returns, rebates,
discounts, credits and allowances (collectively, the "DILUTION ITEMS"). Such
liquidity factors and the advance rate for Availability may be adjusted by
Lender throughout the Term as warranted by Lender's underwriting practices and
procedures in its sole credit judgment. Also, Lender shall have the right to
establish from time to time, reserves against the Borrowing Base in connection
with any Material Adverse Change or Material Adverse Effect, which reserves
shall have the effect of reducing the amounts otherwise eligible to be disbursed
to Borrower under the Revolving Facility pursuant to this Agreement.

         (c) Borrower shall be permitted to borrow an amount at any one time
outstanding of up to $750,000 in addition to the Availability (the
"Overadvance"), which shall be part of the Revolving Facility, evidenced by the
Revolving Note and subject at all times to the Facility Cap. The Overadvance

                                       2
<PAGE>

amount may remain outstanding during the entire Revolver Term, subject to the
Facility Cap, and provided that no default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing past any cure period and provided, further, that upon
the sale of any HSO Contracts, the proceeds thereof shall be applied to
permanently reduce the Overadvance.

    2.2  THE REVOLVING NOTE; MATURITY

         (a) All Advances under the Revolving Facility shall be evidenced by the
Revolving Note, payable to the order of Lender, duly executed and delivered by
Borrower and dated the Closing Date, evidencing the aggregate indebtedness of
Borrower to Lender resulting from Advances under the Revolving Facility, from
time to time. Lender hereby is authorized, but is not obligated, to enter the
amount of each Advance under the Revolving Facility and the amount of each
payment or prepayment of principal or interest thereon in the appropriate spaces
on the reverse of or on an attachment to the Revolving Note. Lender will account
to Borrower monthly with a statement of Advances under the Revolving Facility
and charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement, and in the absence of
manifest error, such accounting rendered by Lender shall be deemed presumptive
and conclusive unless Lender is notified by Borrower in writing to the contrary
within thirty (30) calendar days of Receipt of each accounting, which notice
shall be deemed an objection only to items specifically objected to therein.

         (b) All amounts outstanding under the Revolving Note and other
Obligations shall be due and payable in full, if not earlier in accordance with
this Agreement, on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default if
required pursuant hereto or Lender's demand upon an Event of Default, and (ii)
the last day of the Revolver Term (such earlier date being the "MATURITY DATE").

    2.3  REVOLVING NOTE INTEREST

         Interest on outstanding Advances under the Revolving Note shall be
payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month at an annual
rate of Prime Rate plus 1.5%, provided, however, that, notwithstanding, any
provision of any Loan Document, the interest on outstanding Advances under the
Revolving Note shall be not less than 7.0%, in each case calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year and for the actual number of calendar days elapsed in each
interest calculation period. Interest accrued on each Advance under the
Revolving Note shall be due and payable on the first day of each calendar month,
in accordance with the procedures provided for in Section 2.5 and Section 2.9,
commencing February 1, 2001, and continuing until the later of the expiration of
the Term and the full performance and irrevocable payment in full in cash of the
Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

    2.4  REVOLVING FACILITY DISBURSEMENTS; REQUIREMENT TO DELIVER BORROWING
         CERTIFICATE

         So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Borrower may give Lender irrevocable written notice requesting an
Advance under the Revolving Facility by delivering to Lender not later than
11:00 a.m. (New York City Time) at least one (1) (but not more than four (4)
Business Days before the proposed borrowing date of such requested Advance (the
"BORROWING DATE"), a completed Borrowing Certificate and relevant supporting
documentation satisfactory to Lender, which shall (i) specify the proposed
Borrowing Date of such Advance which shall be a Business Day, (ii) specify the
principal amount of such requested Advance, (iii) certify the matters contained
in Section 4.2, and (iv) specify the amount of any Medicare or Medicaid
recoupments and/or recoupments of any third-party payor being sought, requested
or claimed, or, to Borrower's knowledge,

                                       3
<PAGE>

threatened against Borrower or Borrower's affiliates. Each time a request for an
Advance is made (and, in any event and regardless of whether an Advance is being
requested, once a month as of the fifteenth (15th) day of each month for the
month then ended during the Term (and more frequently if Lender shall so request
until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in cash in full and this Agreement
is terminated), Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Borrowing Certificate
accompanied by a separate detailed aging and categorizing of Borrower's accounts
receivable and inventory detail and such other supporting documentation with
respect to the figures and information in the Borrowing Certificate as Lender
shall reasonably request from a credit or security perspective or otherwise. On
each Borrowing Date, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to disburse the
proceeds of the requested Advance to the appropriate Borrower's account(s) as
set forth on Schedule 2.5, in all cases for credit to the appropriate Borrower
(or to such other account as to which the appropriate Borrower shall instruct
Lender) via Federal funds wire transfer no later than 4:00 p.m. New York City
Time.

    2.5  REVOLVING FACILITY COLLECTIONS; REPAYMENT; BORROWING AVAILABILITY AND
         LOCKBOX

         Each Borrower shall maintain one or more lockbox accounts (individually
and collectively, the "LOCKBOX ACCOUNT") with one or more banks acceptable to
Lender and to Borrower (each, a "LOCKBOX BANK"), and shall execute with each
Lockbox Bank one or more agreements acceptable to Lender (individually and
collectively, the "LOCKBOX AGREEMENT"), and such other agreements related
thereto as Lender may require. Each Borrower shall ensure that all collections
of their respective Accounts and all other cash payments received by any
Borrower are paid and delivered directly from Account Debtors and other Persons
into the appropriate Lockbox Account. The Lockbox Agreements shall provide that
the Lockbox Banks immediately will transfer all funds paid into the Lockbox
Accounts into a depository account or accounts maintained by Lender or an
affiliate of Lender at such bank as Lender may communicate to Borrower from time
to time (the "CONCENTRATION ACCOUNT"), except, with respect only to Accounts
payable by Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors, as instructed by the applicable
Borrower to whom such Accounts are payable as permitted pursuant to the
applicable Lockbox Agreement. Notwithstanding and without limiting any other
provision of any Loan Document, Lender shall apply, on a daily basis, all funds
transferred into the Concentration Account pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement and
this Section 2.5 in such order and manner as determined by Lender. To the extent
that any Accounts collections of any Borrower or any other cash payments
received by any Borrower are not sent directly to the appropriate Lockbox
Account but are received by any Borrower or any of such Borrower's affiliates,
such collections and proceeds shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender
and immediately remitted (and in any event within two (2) Business Days), in the
form received, to the appropriate Lockbox Account for immediate transfer to the
Concentration Account. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the
terms of this Section 2.5 is an essential term of this Agreement, and that, in
addition to and notwithstanding any other rights Lender may have hereunder,
under any other Loan Document, under applicable law or at equity, upon each and
every failure by any Borrower or any of their affiliates to comply with any such
terms Lender shall be entitled to assess a non-compliance fee which shall
operate to increase the Applicable Rate by two percent (2.0%) per annum during
any period of non-compliance, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default
occurs or is declared, provided that nothing shall prevent Lender from
considering any failure to comply with the terms of this Section 2.5 to be a
Default or an Event of Default. All funds transferred to the Concentration
Account for application to the Obligations under the Revolving Facility shall be
applied to reduce the Obligations under the Revolving Facility, but, for
purposes of calculating interest hereunder, shall be subject to a seven (7)
Business Day clearance period. If as the result of collections of Accounts
and/or any other cash payments received by any Borrower pursuant to this Section
2.5 a credit balance exists with respect to the Concentration Account, such
credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of a Borrower, but shall be
available to the appropriate Borrower in accordance with the terms of this

                                       4
<PAGE>

Agreement. If applicable, at any time prior to the execution of all or any of
the Lockbox Agreements and operation of all or any of the Lockbox Accounts, each
Borrower and their affiliates shall direct all collections or proceeds it
receives on Accounts or from other Collateral to the accounts(s) and in the
manner specified by Lender in its sole discretion.

    2.6  REPAYMENT OF EXCESS ADVANCES

         Any balance of Advances under the Revolving Facility outstanding at any
time in excess of the lesser of the Facility Cap or the Availability shall be
immediately due and payable by Borrower without the necessity of any demand, at
the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred or
is continuing and shall be paid in the manner specified in Section 2.9.

    2.7  TERM LOAN; REQUEST FOR INCREASE

         (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
Lender agrees to loan to Borrower on the Closing Date the Term Loan to be
constituted of a single draw of not more than the Maximum Term Loan Amount, to
be disbursed to the appropriate Borrower's account(s) as set forth on Schedule
2.6 or as otherwise directed by Borrower in writing, provided that, the amount
drawn under the Term Loan shall not be greater than 40% of the value of
Borrower's Equipment, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion. The Term
Loan is not a revolving credit facility, and any repayments of principal shall
be applied to permanently reduce the Term Loan. The Term Loan shall be evidenced
by the Term Note.

         (b) Lender acknowledges that Borrower may request an increase in the
Maximum Term Loan Amount based upon an increase in the volume of Borrower's
Equipment. Borrower acknowledges that any such increase is subject to Lender's

    2.13 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

    2.14 PAYMENTS BY LENDER

         Should any amount required to be paid under any Loan Document be unpaid
when due, such amount may be paid by Lender, which payment shall be deemed a
request for an Advance under the Revolving Facility as of the date such payment
is due, and Borrower irrevocably authorizes disbursement of any such funds to
Lender by way of direct payment of the relevant amount, interest or Obligations.
No payment or prepayment of any amount by Lender or any other Person shall
entitle any Person to be subrogated to the rights of Lender under any Loan
Document unless and until the Obligations have been fully performed and paid
irrevocably in cash and this Agreement has been terminated. Any sums expended by
Lender as a result of any Borrower's or any Guarantor's failure to pay, perform
or comply with any Loan Document or any of the Obligations may be charged to
Borrower's account as an Advance under the Revolving Facility and added to the
Obligations.

    2.15 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST; COLLATERAL

         (a) To secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, each
Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in and Lien
upon, and pledges to Lender, all of its right, title and interest in and to the
following (collectively and each individually, the "COLLATERAL"), which security
interest is intended to be a first priority security interest:

                                       6
<PAGE>

              (i) all of such Borrower's tangible personal property, including
without limitation all present and future Inventory and Equipment (including
items of equipment which are or become Fixtures), now owned or hereafter
acquired;

              (ii) all of such Borrower's intangible personal property,
including without limitation all present and future Accounts, securities,
contract rights, Permits, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper, Documents,
Instruments and Deposit Accounts, rights to the payment of money or other forms
of consideration of any kind, tax refunds, insurance proceeds, now owned or
hereafter acquired, and all intangible and tangible personal property relating
to or arising out of any of the foregoing;

              (iii) all of such Borrower's present and future Government
Contracts and rights thereunder and the related Government Accounts and proceeds
thereof, now or hereafter owned or acquired by such Borrower; provided, however,
that Lender shall not have a security interest in any rights under any
Government Contract of such Borrower or in the related Government Account where
the taking of such security interest would be a violation of an express
prohibition contained in the Government Contract (for purposes of this
limitation, the fact that a Government Contract is subject to, or otherwise
refers to, Title 31, ss. 203 or Title 41, ss. 15 of the United States Code shall
not be deemed an express prohibition against assignment thereof) or is
prohibited by applicable law; and

              (iv) any and all additions to any of the foregoing, and any and
all replacements, products and proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of any of
the foregoing.

         (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15, such
grant of a security interest shall not extend to, and the term "Collateral"
shall not include, any General Intangibles of Borrower to the extent that (i)
such General Intangibles are not assignable or capable of being encumbered as a
matter of law or under the terms of any license or other agreement applicable
thereto (but solely to the extent that any such restriction shall be enforceable
under applicable law) without the consent of the licensor thereof or other
applicable party thereto, and (ii) such consent has not been obtained; provided,
however, that the foregoing grant of a security interest shall extend to, and
the term "Collateral" shall include, each of the following: (a) any General
Intangible which is in the nature of an Account or a right to the payment of
money or a proceed of, or otherwise related to the enforcement or collection of,
any Account or right to the payment of money, or goods which are the subject of
any Account or right to the payment of money, (b) any and all proceeds of any
General Intangible that is otherwise excluded to the extent that the assignment,
pledge or encumbrance of such proceeds is not so restricted, and (c) upon
obtaining the consent of any such licensor or other applicable party with
respect to any such otherwise excluded General Intangible, such General
Intangible as well as any and all proceeds thereof that might theretofore have
been excluded from such grant of a security interest and from the term
"Collateral."

         (c) In addition to the foregoing, to secure the payment and performance
of the Obligations, (i) Parent shall pledge to Lender all of the securities it
owns in Opticare and PVH, and (ii) PVH will pledge to Lender all of the
securities it owns in connection with its subsidiaries who are listed on
Schedule 2.15 hereto, in each case pursuant to the Stock Pledge Agreement.

         (d) Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and upon the
proper filing of the necessary financing statements and proper delivery of the
necessary stock certificates, without any further action, Lender will have a
good, valid and perfected first priority Lien and security interest in the
Collateral, subject to no transfer or other restrictions or Liens of any kind in
favor of any other Person except for Permitted Liens. No financing statement
relating to any of the Collateral is on file in any public office except those
(i) on behalf of Lender, and/or (ii) in connection with Permitted Liens.

                                       7

    2.16 COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

         (a) All Collateral (except Deposit Accounts) will at all times be kept
by Borrower at the locations set forth on Schedule 5.18 hereto and shall not,
without thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to Lender, be moved
therefrom, and in any case shall not be moved outside the continental United
States.

         (b) Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts
and all payments and collections thereon and shall submit such records to Lender
on such periodic bases as Lender may request. In addition, if Accounts of
Borrower in an aggregate face amount in excess of $250,000 become ineligible
because they fall within one of the specified categories of ineligibility set
forth in the definition of Eligible Receivables, Borrower shall notify Lender of
such occurrence on the report due on the fifteenth (15th) day of each month
unless an earlier Request for Advance is submitted following such occurrence and
the Borrowing Base shall thereupon be adjusted to reflect such occurrence. If
requested by Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender formal written
assignments of all of its Accounts weekly or daily as Lender may request,
including all Accounts created since the date of the last assignment, together
with copies of claims, invoices and/or other information related thereto. To the
extent that collections from such assigned accounts exceed the amount of the
Obligations, such excess amount shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrower,
but shall be available to the Borrower upon Borrower's written request.

         (c) Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred, any of the
Lender's officers, employees, representatives or agents shall have the right, at
any time during normal business hours, in the name of Lender, any designee of
Lender or Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating
to any Accounts of Borrower. Borrower shall cooperate fully with Lender in an
effort to facilitate and promptly conclude such verification process.

         (d) To expedite collection, Borrower shall endeavor in the first
instance to make collection of its Accounts for Lender. Lender shall have the
right at all times after the occurrence of an Event of Default to notify (i)
Account Debtors owing Accounts to Borrower other than Medicaid/Medicare Account
Debtors that their Accounts have been assigned to Lender and to collect such
Accounts directly in its own name and to charge collection costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorney's fees, to Borrower, and (ii) Medicaid/Medicare
Account Debtors that Borrower has waived any and all defenses and counterclaims
it may have or could interpose in any such action or procedure brought by Lender
to obtain a court order recognizing the assignment or security interest and lien
of Lender in and to any Account or other Collateral and that Lender is seeking
or may seek to obtain a court order recognizing the assignment or security
interest and lien of Lender in and to all Accounts and other Collateral payable
by Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors.

         (e) As and when determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion,
Lender will perform the searches described in clauses (i) and (ii) below against
Borrower and Guarantors (the results of which are to be consistent with
Borrower's representations and warranties under this Agreement), all at
Borrower's expense: (i) UCC searches with the Secretary of State and local
filing offices of each jurisdiction where Borrower and/or any Guarantors
maintains their respective executive offices, a place of business or assets; and
(ii) judgment, federal tax lien and corporate and partnership tax lien searches,
in each jurisdiction searched under clause (i) below.

         (f) Borrower (i) shall provide prompt written notice to its current
bank to transfer all items, collections and remittances to the Concentration
Account, (ii) upon Lender's request after an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, shall provide prompt written notice to each

                                       8
<PAGE>

Account Debtor (other than Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors) that Lender has
been granted a lien and security interest in, upon and to all Accounts
applicable to such Account Debtor and shall direct each Account Debtor to make
payments to the appropriate Lockbox Account, and Borrower hereby authorizes
Lender, upon any failure to send such notices and directions within ten (10)
calendar days (or ten (10) calendar days after the Person becomes an Account
Debtor), to send any and all similar notices and directions to such Account
Debtors as set forth on Schedule 2.16 hereto, and (iii) shall do anything
further that may be lawfully required by Lender to secure Lender and effectuate
the intentions of the Loan Documents. At Lender's request, Borrower shall
immediately deliver to Lender all items for which Lender must receive possession
to obtain a perfected security interest and all notes, certificates, and
documents of title, chattel paper, warehouse receipts, instruments, and any
other similar instruments constituting Collateral.

    2.17 GENERAL - MANNER OF PAYMENT

         Any payments made by Borrower (other than payments automatically paid
through Advances under the Revolving Facility as provided herein), shall be made
only by wire transfer on the date when due, without offset or counterclaim, in
Dollars, in immediately available funds to such account as may be indicated in
writing by Lender to Borrower from time to time. Any such payment received after
3:00 p.m. New York City Time on the date when due shall be deemed received on
the following Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be
due or shall become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due
date thereof shall be extended to, and such payment shall be made on, the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time in such case shall be
included in the computation of payment of any interest (at the interest rate
then in effect during such extension) and/or fees, as the case may be.

    2.18 POWER OF ATTORNEY

         Lender is hereby irrevocably made, constituted and appointed the true
and lawful attorney for Borrower (without requiring any of them to act as such)
with full power of substitution to do the following: (i) endorse the name of any
such Person upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders, and other instruments
for the payment of money that are payable to such Person and constitute
collections on its or their Accounts; (ii) execute in the name of such Person
any financing statements, schedules, assignments, instruments, documents, and
statements that it is or they or are obligated to give Lender under any of the
Loan Documents; and (iii) do such other and further acts and deeds in the name
of such Person that Lender may deem necessary or desirable to enforce any
Account or other Collateral or to perfect Lender's security interest or lien in
any Collateral. In addition, if any such Person breaches its obligation
hereunder to direct payments of Accounts or the proceeds of any other Collateral
to the appropriate Lockbox Account, Lender, as the irrevocably made, constituted
and appointed true and lawful attorney for such Person pursuant to this
paragraph, may, by the signature or other act of any of Lender's officers or
authorized signatories (without requiring any of them to do so), direct any
federal, state or private payor or fiscal intermediary to pay proceeds of
Accounts or any other Collateral to the appropriate Lockbox Account.

III. FEES AND OTHER CHARGES; ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE

    3.1  COMMITMENT FEES; WARRANTS

                                       9

         (a) Each month, Borrower shall pay to Lender an unused line fee (the
"UNUSED LINE FEE") in an amount and to the extent necessary to cause Lender to
realize, when taken together with the interest accrued for such month on the
Revolver, an amount equal to $3,000. The Unused Line Fee shall be payable
monthly in arrears on the first day of each successive calendar month (starting
with the month in which the Closing Date occurs).

    3.3  COLLATERAL MANAGEMENT FEE

         Borrower shall pay Lender as additional interest a monthly collateral
management fee (the "COLLATERAL MANAGEMENT FEE") equal to 0.083% of the daily
average amount of the balances under the Revolving Facility outstanding during
the preceding month. The Collateral Management Fee shall be payable monthly in
arrears on the first day of each successive calendar month (starting with the
month in which the Closing Date occurs).

    3.4  REVOLVER TERMINATION FEE; TERM LOAN FINANCE FEE

         (a) Revolver Early Termination Fee. If (i) Borrower terminates the
Revolving Facility under Section 11.1 hereof, (ii) Borrower is required to make
payment in full of the Revolving Facility and/or Obligations relating to the
Revolving Facility upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) a voluntary
or involuntary Change of Control or payment pursuant to Section 2.11 occurs,
(iv) any other voluntary or involuntary prepayment of the Revolving Facility
and/or Obligations relating to the Revolving Facility by Borrower or any other
Person occurs (other than reductions to zero of the outstanding balance of the
Revolving Facility resulting from the ordinary course operation of the
provisions of Section 2.5), whether by virtue of Lender's exercising its right
of set-off or otherwise, (v) Lender accelerates the Revolving Note or makes any
demand on the Revolving Note, or (vi) any payment or reduction of the
outstanding balance of the Revolving Note and/or the Revolving Facility is made
during a bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceeding or is made pursuant to
any plan of reorganization or liquidation or any Debtor Relief Law, (each, a
"REVOLVER TERMINATION"), then, at the effective date of any such termination,
Borrower shall pay Lender (in addition to the then outstanding principal,
accrued interest and other Obligations relating to the Revolving Facility
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document), as yield
maintenance for the loss of bargain and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 1%

and any other Loan Document), as yield maintenance

                                       10
<PAGE>

for the loss of bargain and not as a penalty, an amount equal to one percent
(1%) of the Term Loan amount.

    3.5  COMPUTATION OF FEES; LAWFUL LIMITS

         All fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days
and for the actual number of days elapsed in each calculation period, as
applicable. In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of
acceleration or otherwise, shall the interest and other charges paid or agreed
to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money hereunder
exceed the maximum rate permissible under applicable law which a court of
competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto.
If, due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, at
the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall exceed any such
limit, then, the obligation to be so fulfilled shall be reduced to such lawful
limit, and, if Lender shall have received interest or any other charges of any
kind which might be deemed to be interest under applicable law in excess of the
maximum lawful rate, then such excess shall be applied first to any unpaid fees
and charges hereunder, then to unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower
hereunder, and if the then remaining excess interest is greater than the
previously unpaid principal balance, Lender shall promptly refund such excess
amount to Borrower and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide
for such permissible rate. The terms and provisions of this Section 3.5 shall
control to the extent any other provision of any Loan Document is inconsistent
herewith.

    3.6  DEFAULT RATE OF INTEREST

         Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default,
the Applicable Rate of interest in effect at such time with respect to the
Obligations shall be increased by 3.0% per annum (the "DEFAULT RATE").

    3.7  ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY

         Each Borrower acknowledges that it is jointly and severally liable for
all of the Obligations under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower expressly
understands, agrees and acknowledges that (i) it is affiliated by common
ownership, (ii) each Borrower desires to have the availability of one common
credit facility instead of separate credit facilities, (iii) each Borrower has
requested that Lender extend such a common credit facility on the terms herein
provided, (iv) Lender will be lending against, and relaying on a lien upon, all
of the Borrowers' assets even though the proceeds of any particular loan made
hereunder may not be advanced directly to a particular Borrower, (v) each
Borrower will nonetheless benefit by the making of all such loans by Lender and
the availability of a single credit facility of a size greater than each could
independently warrant, and (vi) all of the representations, warranties,
covenants, obligations, conditions, agreements and other terms contained in the
Loan Documents shall be applicable to and shall be binding upon each Borrower.

    3.8  WARRANTS

         As additional consideration for the extensions of credit hereunder and
as more fully described in the Warrant Agreement, Systems shall issue and
deliver to CapitalSource Holdings LLC on the Closing Date, the Warrant. The
Warrant and number of securities purchasable upon exercise of the

                                       11
<PAGE>

Warrant shall be subject to adjustment and shall be subject to various rights in
favor of Lender as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

    3.9  ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE

         Under both GAAP consistently applied and the regulations of the
Internal Revenue Service, the issuance to Lender of the Term Note and the
Warrant for an aggregate purchase price equal to the aggregate principal amount
of the Term Note being so purchased results in the creation of "original issue
discount" on such Term Note (which original issue discount may also be deemed to
constitute the value of any Warrant issued in connection with the issuance of
such Term Note), and such regulations require the determination of the value of
any warrant so delivered. Pursuant to GAAP consistently applied and applicable
Treasury Regulations, Borrower and Lender agree to allocate $298,170 of the
purchase price to the Term Note and the remaining $18,300 of the purchase price
to the Warrant and that such allocation reflects the relative fair market values
of the Term Note and the Warrant as of their issue date. Borrower and Lender
agree to recognize and adhere to the determinations and allocations of original
issue discount and valuation of the Warrant set forth herein for all federal and
state income tax purposes. In the event of any proposed transfer of the Term
Note by Lender, Lender shall, prior to such transfer, mark the Term Note with a
legend pertaining to the original issue discount in the form required by
Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-3(b)(1).

         (a) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a Borrowing Certificate for

    5.1  ORGANIZATION AND AUTHORITY

         Each Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of its state of formation. Each Borrower (i) has
all requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties and assets and
to carry on its business as now being conducted and as contemplated in the Loan
Documents, (ii) is duly qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which
failure so to qualify could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, and (iii) has all requisite power and authority (A) to execute, deliver
and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party, (B) to borrow hereunder,
(C) to consummate the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents, and
(D) to grant the Liens with regard to the Collateral pursuant to the Security
Documents to which it is a party. No Borrower is an "investment company"
registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, or is controlled by such an "investment company."

    5.2  LOAN DOCUMENTS

         The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan
Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby, (i) have been duly authorized by all requisite action of
each such Person and have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of
each such Person; (ii) do not violate any provisions of (A) applicable law,
statute, rule, regulation, ordinance or tariff, (B) any order of any
Governmental Authority binding on any such Person or any of their respective
properties, or (C) the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or any other
equivalent governing agreement or document) of any such Person, or any agreement
between any such Person and its respective shareholders, members, partners or
equity owners or among any such shareholders, members, partners or equity
owners; (iii) are not in conflict with, and do not result in a breach or default
of or constitute an event of default, or an event, fact, condition or
circumstance which, with notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute or
result in a conflict, breach, default or event of default under, any indenture,
agreement or other instrument to which any such Person is a party, or by which
the properties or assets of such Person are bound, the effect of which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) except as set
forth therein, will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien of any
nature upon any of the properties or assets of any such Person, and (iv) except
as set forth on Schedule 5.2, do not require the consent, approval or
authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any
Governmental Authority or any other Person. When executed and delivered, each of
the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party will constitute the legal, valid
and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance
with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, moratorium,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar law affecting the enforceability of
creditors' rights generally and to the effect of general principles of equity
which may limit the availability of equitable remedies (whether in a proceeding
at law or in equity).

each Borrower, the number and class of equity securities and/or ownership,
voting or partnership interests issued and outstanding of Borrower and the
record and beneficial owners thereof (including options, warrants and other
rights to acquire any of the foregoing). The outstanding equity securities
and/or ownership, voting or partnership interests of Borrower have been duly
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and each
Person listed on Schedule 5.3 owns beneficially and of record all the equity
securities and/or ownership, voting or partnership interests it is listed as

compliance in all material respects with each lease to which it is a party or
otherwise bound. Schedule 5.4 lists all real properties (and their locations)
owned or leased by or to, and all other assets or property that are leased or
licensed by, Borrower and all leases (including leases of leased real property)
covering or with respect to such properties and assets. Borrower enjoys peaceful

to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor is there any event, fact, condition or
circumstance which, with notice or passage of time or both, would constitute or
result in a conflict, breach, default or event of default under, any of the
foregoing which, if not remedied within any applicable grace or cure period
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) a party
or subject to any agreement, document or instrument with respect to, or

expected to be or have, either individually or in the aggregate, any Material

         (o) any Borrower or Guarantor does, or enters into or becomes a party
to any agreement or commitment to do, or cause to be done, any of the things
described in this Article VIII or otherwise prohibited by any Loan Document
(subject to any cure periods set forth therein);

         (p) any Default or Event of Default shall occur and be continuing past
any cure period under (i) that certain Restructure Agreement, dated as of

                                       31
<PAGE>

Lender of such breach or violation or of any event, fact or circumstance
constituting or resulting in any of the foregoing, and (B) the time at which
such Person or any authorized officer thereof knew or became aware, of such
breach or violation and resulting Event of Default or of any event, fact or
circumstance constituting or resulting in any of the foregoing)), in each case
without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which
are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, and (iii) prohibit any action permitted
to be taken under Article VII hereof.

IX. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT

    9.1  RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

         (a) In addition to the acceleration provisions set forth in Article
VIII above, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lender
shall have the right to exercise any and all rights, options and remedies
provided for in any Loan Document, under the UCC or at law or in equity,
including, without limitation, the right to (i) apply any property of any
Borrower held by Lender to reduce the Obligations, (ii) foreclose the Liens
created under the Security Documents, (iii) realize upon, take possession of
and/or sell any Collateral or securities pledged (other than Collateral
consisting of Accounts owed or owing by Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors absent
a court order or compliance with applicable law) with or without judicial
process, (iv) exercise all rights and powers with respect to the Collateral as
any Borrower, as applicable, might exercise (other than with respect to
Collateral consisting of Accounts owed or owing by Medicaid/Medicare Account
Debtors absent a court order or compliance with applicable law), (v) collect and
send notices regarding the Collateral (other than with respect to Collateral
consisting of Accounts owed or owing by Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors absent
a court order or compliance with applicable law), with or without judicial
process, (vi) by its own means or with judicial assistance, enter any premises
at which Collateral and/or pledged securities are located, or render any of the
foregoing unusable or dispose of the Collateral and/or pledged securities on
such premises without any liability for rent, storage, utilities, or other sums,
and no Borrower shall resist or interfere with such action, (vii) at Borrower's
expense, require that all or any part of the Collateral be assembled and made
available to Lender at any place designated by Lender, (viii) reduce or
otherwise change the Facility Cap and/or the Maximum Loan Amount, and/or (ix)
relinquish or abandon any Collateral or securities pledged or any Lien thereon.
Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, Lender, in its sole
discretion, shall have the right, at any time that Borrower fails to do so, and
from time to time, with prior notice which need not be in writing, to: (i)
obtain insurance covering any of the Collateral to the extent required
hereunder; (ii) pay for the performance of any of Obligations; (iii) discharge
taxes or Liens on any of the Collateral that are in violation of any Loan
document unless the Borrower is in good faith with due diligence by appropriate
proceedings contesting those items; and (iv) pay for the maintenance and
preservation of the Collateral. Such expenses and advances shall be added to the
Obligations until reimbursed to Lender and shall be secured by the Collateral,
and such payments by Lender shall not be construed as a waiver by Lender of any
Event of Default or any other rights or remedies of Lender.

         (b) Borrower agrees that notice received by it at least ten (10)
calendar days before the time of any intended public sale, or the time after
which any private sale or other disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall
be deemed to be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. If
permitted by applicable law, any perishable Collateral which threatens to
speedily decline in value or which is sold on a recognized market may be sold
immediately by Lender without prior notice to Borrower. At any sale or
disposition of Collateral or securities pledged, Lender may (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) purchase all or any part thereof free from any
right of redemption by any

                                       32
<PAGE>

Borrower which right is hereby waived and released. Debtor covenants and agrees
not to, and not to permit or cause any of its Subsidiaries to, interfere with or
impose any obstacle to Secured Party's exercise of its rights and remedies with
respect to the Collateral. Secured Party, in dealing with or disposing of the
Collateral or any part thereof, shall not be required to give priority or
preference to any item of Collateral or otherwise to marshal assets or to take
possession or sell any Collateral with judicial process.

    9.2  RIGHTS AND REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE

         Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which
rights, Liens and/or remedies Lender may at any time pursue, relinquish,
subordinate or modify, and such determination will not in any way modify or
affect any of Lender's rights, Liens or remedies under any Loan Document,
applicable law or equity. The enumeration of any rights and remedies in any Loan
Document is not intended to be exhaustive, and all rights and remedies of Lender
described in any Loan Document are cumulative and are not alternative to or
exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Lender otherwise may have. The
partial or complete exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude any other
further exercise of such or any other right or remedy.

    9.3  APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS

         In addition to any other rights, options and remedies Lender has under
the Loan Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, all dividends, interest,
rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues, income and other proceeds collected or
received from collecting, holding, managing, renting, selling, or otherwise
disposing of all or any part of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof upon
exercise of its remedies hereunder shall be applied in the following order of
priority: (i) first, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses of such
collection, storage, lease, holding, operation, management, sale, disposition or
delivery and of conducting Borrower's business and of maintenance, repairs,
replacements, alterations, additions and improvements of or to the Collateral,
and to the payment of all sums which Lender may be required or may elect to pay,
if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges upon the Collateral
or any part thereof, and all other payments that Lender may be required or
authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, in each such case, in-house documentation and diligence fees and
legal expenses, search, audit, recording, professional and filing fees and
expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees and all expenses, liabilities and
advances made or incurred in connection therewith); (ii) second, to the payment
of all Obligations as provided herein; (iii) third, to the satisfaction of
Indebtedness secured by any subordinate security interest of record in the
Collateral if written notification of demand therefor is received before
distribution of the proceeds is completed, provided, that, if requested by
Lender, the holder of a subordinate security interest shall furnish reasonable
proof of its interest, and unless it does so, Lender need not address its
claims; and (iv) fourth, to the payment of any surplus then remaining to
Borrower, unless otherwise provided by law or directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction, provided that Borrower shall be liable for any deficiency if such
proceeds are insufficient to satisfy the Obligations or any of the other items
referred to in this section.

    9.4  RIGHTS OF LENDER TO APPOINT RECEIVER

         Without limiting and in addition to any other rights, options and
remedies Lender has under the Loan Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, upon
the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the
right to apply for and have a receiver appointed by a court of

                                       33
<PAGE>

competent jurisdiction in any action taken by Lender to enforce its rights and
remedies in order to manage, protect and preserve the Collateral and continue
the operation of the business of Borrower and to collect all revenues and
profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other
charges of such receivership including the compensation of the receiver and to
the payments as aforesaid until a sale or other disposition of such Collateral
shall be finally made and consummated.

X.  WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS

    10.1 WAIVERS

         Except as expressly provided for herein, Borrower hereby waives demand,
presentment, protest, all defenses with respect to any and all instruments and
all notices and demands of any description, and the pleading of any statute of
limitations as a defense to any demand under any Loan Document. Borrower hereby
waives any and all defenses and counterclaims it may have or could interpose in
any action or procedure brought by Lender to obtain an order of court
recognizing the assignment of, or Lien of Lender in and to, any Collateral,
whether or not payable by a Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtor.

    10.2 DELAY; NO WAIVER OF DEFAULTS

         No course of action or dealing, renewal, release or extension of any
provision of any Loan Document, or single or partial exercise of any such
provision, or delay, failure or omission on Lender's part in enforcing any such
provision shall affect the liability of any Borrower or Guarantor or operate as
a waiver of such provision or affect the liability of any Borrower or Guarantor
or preclude any other or further exercise of such provision. No waiver by any
party to any Loan Document of any one or more defaults by any other party in the
performance of any of the provisions of any Loan Document shall operate or be
construed as a waiver of any future default, whether of a like or different
nature, and each such waiver shall be limited solely to the express terms and
provisions of such waiver. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan
Document, by completing the Closing under this Agreement and/or by making
Advances or funding the Term Loan, Lender does not waive any breach of any
representation or warranty of under any Loan Document, and all of Lender's
claims and rights resulting from any such breach or misrepresentation are
specifically reserved.

    10.3 JURY WAIVER

         EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN
ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT
TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, WHETHER NOW
EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF
ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO
THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH

                                       34
<PAGE>

ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF
THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.

    10.4 COOPERATION IN DISCOVERY AND LITIGATION

         In any litigation, arbitration or other dispute resolution proceeding
relating to any Loan Document, Borrower waives any and all defenses, objections
and counterclaims it may have or could interpose with respect to (i) any of its
directors, officers, employees or agents being deemed to be employees or
managing agents of Borrower for purposes of all applicable law or court rules
regarding the production of witnesses by notice for testimony (whether in a
deposition, at trial or otherwise), (ii) Lender's counsel examining any such
individuals as if under cross-examination and using any discovery deposition of
any of them as if it were an evidence deposition, and/or (iii) using all
commercially reasonable efforts to produce in any such dispute resolution
proceeding, at the time and in the manner requested by Lender, all Persons,
documents (whether in tangible, electronic or other form) and/or other things
under its control and relating to the dispute.

XI. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION

    11.1 EFFECTIVENESS AND TERMINATION

         Subject to Lender's right to terminate and cease making Loans upon or
after any Event of Default, this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect until the full performance and indefeasible payment in cash of all
Obligations, unless terminated sooner as provided in this Section 11.1. Borrower
may terminate this Agreement at any time upon not less than ten (10) calendar
days' prior written notice to Lender and upon full performance and indefeasible
payment in full in cash of all Obligations on or prior to such 10th calendar day
after Receipt by Lender of such written notice; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, Borrower shall have no
right to terminate the Revolving Loan, until after the first anniversary of the
Closing Date. All of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable upon
any such termination on the termination date stated in any notice of termination
(the "TERMINATION DATE"); provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of
any Loan Document, the Termination Date shall be effective no earlier than the
first Business Day of the month following the expiration of the ten (10)
calendar days' prior written notice period. Notwithstanding any other provision
of any Loan Document, no termination of this Agreement shall affect Lender's
rights or any of the Obligations existing as of the effective date of such
termination, and the provisions of the Loan Documents shall continue to be fully
operative until the Obligations have been fully performed and indefeasibly paid
in cash in full. The Liens granted to Lender under the Security Documents and
the financing statements filed pursuant thereto and the rights and powers of
Lender shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the fact that
Borrower's borrowings hereunder may from time to time be in a zero or credit
position until all of the Obligations have been fully performed and indefeasibly
paid in full in cash.

    11.2 SURVIVAL

         All obligations, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties,
waivers and indemnities made by Borrower in any Loan Document shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the Closing, the making of the
Loans and any termination of this Agreement until all Obligations are fully
performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. The obligations and provisions
of Sections 3.5, 3.6, 10.1, 10.3, 11.1, 11.2, 12.4, 12.7 and 12.9 shall survive
termination of the Loan Documents and any payment, in full or in part, of the
Obligations.

                                       35
<PAGE>

XII. MISCELLANEOUS

    12.1 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS; VENUE

         The Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to its
choice of law provisions other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General
Obligation laws. Any judicial proceeding against Borrower with respect to the
Obligations, any Loan Document or any related agreement may be brought in any
federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of New
York. By execution and delivery of each Loan Document to which it is a party,
Borrower and Lenders (i) accept the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid
courts and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby, (ii)
waive personal service of process, (iii) agree that service of process may be
made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, pursuant to
Section 12.5 hereof, and (iv) waive any objection to jurisdiction, venue of any
action instituted hereunder and agrees not to assert any defense based on lack
of jurisdiction or venue convenience. Nothing shall affect the right of Lender
to serve process in any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of
Lender to bring proceedings against Borrower in any other courts having
jurisdiction. Any judicial proceedings against Lender involving, directly or
indirectly, the Obligations, any Loan Document or any related agreement shall be
brought only in a federal or state court located in the State of New York. All
parties acknowledge that they participated in the negotiation and drafting of
this Agreement and that, accordingly, no party shall move or petition a court
construing this Agreement to construe it more stringently against one party than
against any other.

    12.2 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; PARTICIPATIONS; NEW LENDERS

         The Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of Lender, Transferees
and all future holders of any Note, the Obligations and/or any of the
Collateral, and each of their respective successors and assigns. Each Loan
Document shall be binding upon the Persons' other than Lender that are parties
thereto and their respective successors and assigns, and no such Person may
assign, delegate or transfer any Loan Document or any of its rights or
obligations thereunder without the prior written consent of Lender. No rights
are intended to be created under any Loan Document for the benefit of any third
party creditor or incidental beneficiary of any Borrower or Guarantor. Nothing
contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as a delegation to Lender of
any other Person's duty of performance. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT
Lender at any time and from time to time may (I) DIVIDE AND RESTATE ANY NOTE,
AND/OR (II) sell, assign or GRANT PARTICIPATING INTERESTS IN OR transfer all or
any part of its rights or obligations under ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, Note, the
obligations AND/OR the collateral TO OTHER PERSONS (EACH SUCH TRANSFEREE,
ASSIGNEE OR PURCHASER, A "TRANSFEREE"). Each Transferee shall have all of the
rights and benefits with respect to the Obligations, Notes, Collateral and/or
Loan Documents held by it as fully as if the original holder thereof, and either
Lender or any Transferee may be designated as the sole agent to manage the
transactions and obligations contemplated therein; provided that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, Borrower shall
not be obligated to pay under this Agreement to any Transferee any sum in excess
of the sum which Borrower would have been obligated to pay to Lender had such
participation not been effected. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan
Document, Lender may disclose to any Transferee all information, reports,
financial statements, certificates and documents obtained under any provision of
any Loan Document.

    12.3 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS

                                       36
<PAGE>

         To the extent that any payment made or received with respect to the
Obligations is subsequently invalidated, determined to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in
possession, receiver, custodian or any other Person under any Debtor Relief Law,
common law or equitable cause or any other law, then the Obligations intended to
be satisfied by such payment shall be revived and shall continue as if such
payment had not been received by Lender. Any payments with respect to the
Obligations received shall be credited and applied in such manner and order as
Lender shall decide in its sole discretion.

    12.4 INDEMNITY

         Each Borrower jointly and severally shall indemnify Lender, its
affiliates and its and their respective managers, members, officers, employees,
affiliates, agents, representatives, successors, assigns, accountants and
attorneys (collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED PERSONS") from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including,
without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and in-house
documentation and diligence fees and legal expenses) which may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Person with respect to or
arising out of, or in any litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or
conducted by any Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction
contemplated by or referred to in, or any matter related to, any Loan Document
or any agreement, document or transaction contemplated thereby, whether or not
such Indemnified Person is a party thereto, except to the extent that any of the
foregoing arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Person. If any Indemnified Person uses in-house counsel for any
purpose for which any Borrower is responsible to pay or indemnify, each Borrower
expressly agrees that its indemnification obligations include reasonable charges
for such work commensurate with the fees that would otherwise be charged by
outside legal counsel selected by such Indemnified Person in its sole discretion
for the work performed. Lender agrees to give Borrower reasonable notice of any
event of which Lender becomes aware for which indemnification may be required
under this Section 12.4, and Lender may elect (but is not obligated) to direct
the defense thereof, provided that the selection of counsel shall be subject to
Borrower's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Any Indemnified Person may, in its reasonable discretion and with Borrower's
consent, take such actions as it deems necessary and appropriate to investigate,
defend or settle any event or take other remedial or corrective actions with
respect thereto as may be necessary for the protection of such Indemnified
Person or the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any insurer agrees
to undertake the defense of an event (an "INSURED EVENT"), Lender agrees not to
exercise its right to select counsel to defend the event if that would cause any
Borrower's insurer to deny coverage; provided, however, that Lender reserves the
right to retain counsel to represent any Indemnified Person with respect to an
Insured Event at its sole cost and expense. To the extent that Lender obtains
recovery from a third party other than an Indemnified Person of any of the
amounts that any Borrower has paid to Lender pursuant to the indemnity set forth
in this Section 12.4, then Lender shall promptly pay to such Borrower the amount
of such recovery.

    12.5 NOTICE

         Any notice or request under any Loan Document shall be given to any
party to this Agreement at such party's address set forth beneath its signature
on the signature page to this Agreement, or at such other address as such party
may hereafter specify in a notice given in the manner required under this
Section 12.5. Any notice or request hereunder shall be given only by, and shall
be deemed to have been received upon (each, a "RECEIPT"): (i) registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, on the date on which such received as
indicated in such return receipt, (ii) delivery by a nationally

                                       37
<PAGE>

recognized overnight courier, one (1) Business Day after deposit with such
courier, or (iii) facsimile or electronic transmission on a Business Day, in
each case upon telephone or further electronic communication from the recipient
acknowledging receipt (whether automatic or manual from recipient), as
applicable.

    12.6 SEVERABILITY; CAPTIONS; COUNTERPARTS; FACSIMILE SIGNATURES

         If any provision of any Loan Document is adjudicated to be invalid
under applicable laws or regulations, such provision shall be inapplicable to
the extent of such invalidity without affecting the validity or enforceability
of the remainder of the Loan Documents which shall be given effect so far as
possible. The captions in the Loan Documents are intended for convenience and
reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of the Loan
Documents. The Loan Documents may be executed in one or more counterparts (which
taken together, as applicable, shall constitute one and the same instrument) and
by facsimile transmission, which facsimile signatures shall be considered
original executed counterparts. Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will
be bound by its own facsimile signature and that it accepts the facsimile
signature of each other party.

    12.7 EXPENSES

         Borrower shall pay, whether or not the Closing occurs, all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by Lender and/or its affiliates, including, without
limitation, documentation and diligence fees and expenses, all search, audit,
appraisal, recording, professional and filing fees and expenses and all other
out-of-pocket charges and expenses (including, without limitation, UCC and
judgment and tax lien searches and UCC filings and fees for post-Closing UCC and
judgment and tax lien searches and wire transfer fees and audit expenses), and
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, (i) in any effort to enforce, protect
or collect payment of any Obligation or to enforce any Loan Document or any
related agreement, document or instrument, (ii) in connection with entering
into, negotiating, preparing, reviewing and executing the Loan Documents and/or
any related agreements, documents or instruments, (iii) in connection with
instituting, maintaining, preserving, enforcing and/or foreclosing on Lender's
Liens in any of the Collateral or securities pledged under the Loan Documents,
whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, (iv) in defending or
prosecuting any actions, claims or proceedings arising out of or relating to
Lender's transactions with Borrower, (v) in seeking, obtaining or receiving any
advice after a default or Event of Default shall have occurred with respect to
its rights and obligations under any Loan Document and any related agreement,
document or instrument in connection with such default or Event of Default,
and/or (vi) in connection with any modification, restatement, supplement,
amendment, waiver or extension of any Loan Document and/or any related
agreement, document or instrument. All of the foregoing shall be charged to
Borrower's account and shall be part of the Obligations. If Lender or any of its
affiliates uses in-house counsel for any purpose under any Loan Document for
which Borrower is responsible to pay or indemnify, Borrower expressly agrees
that its Obligations include reasonable charges for such work commensurate with
the fees that would otherwise be charged by outside legal counsel selected by
Lender or such affiliate in its sole discretion for the work performed. Without
limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall pay all taxes (other than taxes based
upon or measured by Lender's income or revenues or any personal property tax),
if any, in connection with the issuance of any Note and the filing and/or
recording of any documents and/or financing statements.

    12.8 ENTIRE AGREEMENT

                                       38
<PAGE>

         This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a
party constitute the entire agreement between Borrower and Lender with respect
to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof. Any
promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein contained and
hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing signed by
Borrower and Lender. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, modified,
amended, restated, waived, supplemented, discharged, canceled or terminated
orally or by any course of dealing or in any other manner other than by an
agreement in writing signed by Lender and Borrower. Each party hereto
acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the
negotiation and execution of this Agreement and is not relying upon oral
representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions hereof.

    12.9 LENDER APPROVALS

         Unless expressly provided herein to the contrary, any approval,
consent, waiver or satisfaction of Lender with respect to any matter that is
subject of any Loan Document may be granted or withheld by Lender in its sole
and absolute discretion.

    12.10 CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLICITY

         Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause each of its affiliates, (i) not to
transmit or disclose provision of any Loan Document to any Person (other than to
Borrower's advisors and officers on a need-to-know basis) without Lender's prior
written consent, (ii) to inform all Persons of the confidential nature of the
Loan Documents and to direct them not to disclose the same to any other Person
and to require each of them to be bound by these provisions. Lender reserves the
right to review and approve all materials that Borrower or any of its affiliates
prepares that contain Lender's name or describe or refer to any Loan Document,
any of the terms thereof or any of the transactions contemplated thereby.
Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its affiliates to, use Lender's
name (or the name of any of Lender's affiliates) in connection with any of its
business operations. Nothing contained in any Loan Document is intended to
permit or authorize Borrower or any of its affiliates to contract on behalf of
Lender.

the Loan Documents, and at law and in equity.

         (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subordinated Lender may declare
Subordinated Indebtedness to be due and payable (an "ACCELERATION"), and may
take any other action, including, without limitation, a Lien Enforcement Action,
with respect to Subordinated Indebtedness; provided that (i) Subordinated Lender
delivers to Senior Lender at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such proposed
Acceleration or Lien Enforcement Action written notice that Subordinated Lender

latter of (x) such 10th Business Day and (y) the proposed date of such

Senior Lender of a Blockage Notice, Subordinated Lender shall not declare an
Acceleration or take any Lien Enforcement Action against or with respect to
Collateral or against Obligor (each such occurrence, a "REMEDIES SUSPENSION"),
and any Acceleration declared or Lien Enforcement Action taken on or after the
date of any such Remedies Suspension shall be null and void and of

Acceleration after the giving of a Blockage Notice if Senior Lender has
accelerated the Senior Indebtedness. Each Remedies Suspension shall commence on
the date of such Remedies Suspension and shall continue until and cease upon the
end of the applicable Blockage Period to which such Blockage Notice relates.

    5. Blockage Notices.

         (a) Upon receipt of any Blockage Notice, or other notice hereunder,
Obligor shall send copies thereof to each Subordinated Lender; provided that,
any failure by Obligor to deliver any such notice shall not affect the
subordination provisions or other agreements herein.

         (b) Senior Lender agrees that there shall be permitted only one (1)
Blockage Period based upon any one Default or Event of Default during any
three-hundred and sixty-five (365) day period.

to any Default or Event of Default shall not be deemed a waiver of such Default
or Event of Default.

generally and unconditionally the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid
courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in
connection with this Agreement or any such other agreement. Obligor hereby

stringently against one party than against the other.

    21. Certain Waivers. Each of Obligor and Subordinated Lender hereby waives
(i) all defenses and counterclaims it may have or could interpose in any action
or procedure brought by Senior Lender to obtain an order of court recognizing
the assignment of or security interests and Liens of Senior Lender in and to any
Collateral, and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, any rights it
