of the Product will infringe any rights of a third party existing as of the
Closing Date;

Agreement) and the commencement of Royalty Payments by Xxxxxxx as contemplated
by Section 2.2 of the Manufacturing Agreement; and
(dd) all
representations and warranties of MedPro under the Pledge and Security
Agreement, MedPro Guarantee, Note Purchase Agreement and Servicing Agreement on
or prior to the Closing Date are true and correct.

MedPro and its Subsidiaries (other than the Issuer) may Incur unsecured
Indebtedness and unsecured guarantees of such Indebtedness in an aggregate
amount not to exceed $15,000,000; provided that all Indebtedness described in
this clause (c) is subordinated to all MedPro Obligations (as defined in the
Pledge and Security Agreement) pursuant to a subordination agreement reasonably

Principal Balance of the Notes, no payments on the principal amounts of such
subordinated Indebtedness shall be permitted so long as any MedPro Obligations
are outstanding and no interest or other payments in respect of such
subordinated Indebtedness shall be permitted so long as any Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and, at the time of Incurrence of such
subordinated Indebtedness, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would be caused thereby;
(j) MedPro
shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, consolidate with,
merge or consolidate with or into, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise
dispose of, directly or indirectly, including pursuant to any dividend,
distribution, redemption, repurchase or other transaction, all or substantially
all of its property and assets to, any other Person provided, however, that such

Fixed Charges of 2.0 to 1 or greater (based on the last four quarters of
financial information as set forth in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby and each
such combined company and Person acquiring such property and assets assumes all

unless MedPro or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at
least equal to the fair market value (such fair market value to be determined on
the date of contractually agreeing to such transaction), as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors (including as to the value of all non-cash
consideration), of the property and assets subject to such
transaction.
(m) MedPro
shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, enter into, renew or extend any transaction (including the purchase,
sale, lease or exchange of property or assets, or the rendering of any service)
with any of its Affiliates except upon fair and reasonable terms no less
favorable to MedPro or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, than could be
obtained, at the time of such transaction or at the time of the execution of the
agreement providing therefor, in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a
Person that is not such an Affiliate. The parties expressly agree
that each Transaction Document satisfies the provisions of this Section

knowledge of such Responsible Officer, any party to the Manufacturing Agreement
or the Visual Connection Agreements is in default in the performance and
observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Manufacturing

(i) an
act or failure to act of any party to the Manufacturing Agreement or the Visual

Visual Connection Agreements;
(ii) any
actual or threatened termination by Xxxxxxx of the Manufacturing Agreement or by
Visual Connections of the Visual Connection Agreements in whole or in part;

hereby authorizes the Issuer and the Trustee to execute and file such financing
or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and
such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or
appropriate.

individually called an “Indemnified Party”),

it is a party, (ii) the failure of MedPro to observe or perform its respective
obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or Principal
Document to which it is party, (iii) claims asserted against an Indemnified

Party to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section
9.1 Transfers
Intended as Sales. Each of the parties hereto expressly
intends and agrees that the sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment, contribution
and granting of the Royalty Rights contemplated and effected under this
Agreement are complete and absolute sales and contributions rather than pledges
or assignments of only a security interest and shall be given effect as such for
all purposes. If, however, notwithstanding the express intent of the
parties hereto, such sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment, contribution and
granting are deemed to be a secured financing, MedPro hereby grants to the
Issuer a security interest in all of MedPro’s right, title and interest in, to
and under the following, in each case, whether now owned or existing or
hereafter acquired or arising, and wherever located: (a) the Royalty Rights; and
(b) any and all additions and accessions to any of the foregoing, all
improvements thereto, all substitutions and replacements therefor and all
products and proceeds thereof, to secure all of MedPro’s obligations in
connection with such secured financing and the other Transaction Documents and
all other Secured Obligations and MedPro Obligations (as defined in the Pledge
and Security Agreement), and this Agreement constitutes a security
agreement. The sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment, contribution
and granting of the Royalty Rights shall be reflected on MedPro’s balance sheet
and other financial statements and computer records as a sale of assets to the
Issuer. The sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment, contribution and
granting by MedPro of the Royalty Rights hereunder are and shall be without
recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, MedPro,
except as otherwise specifically provided herein and in the other Transaction
Documents. The limited rights of recourse specified herein against
MedPro are intended to provide, among other things, a remedy for breach of
representations and warranties relating to the condition of the assets sold,
breach of the covenants in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or
for other indemnified amounts.
Section
9.2 Specific
Performance. Issuer and MedPro acknowledge and agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance
with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is
accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or
the other Transaction Documents and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to
which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
Section
9.3 Notices. All
notices, demands, certificates, requests, directions, instructions and
communications hereunder (“Notices”) shall be in
writing and shall be effective (a) upon receipt when sent through the mails,
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, with
such receipt to be effective the date of delivery indicated on the return
receipt, (b) upon receipt when sent by an overnight courier, (c) on the date
personally delivered to an authorized officer of the party to which sent, (d) on

date sent by first class mail or overnight courier or transmitted by legible
telecopier transmission, in all cases, with a copy emailed to the recipient at
the applicable address, addressed to the recipient in accordance with Section
12.5 of the Indenture. A copy of each notice given hereunder to any
party hereto shall also be given to each of the other parties

to each of the other parties hereto, designate any further or different address
to which subsequent Notices shall be sent.

hereto and the Trustee so long as the Notes and the other Secured Obligations
are outstanding.
(b) No
failure or delay on the part of the Issuer, MedPro or any Person specified in
Section 9.9 in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
power or right. No notice to or demand on the Issuer or MedPro in any
case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Issuer under this
Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval,
be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval under
this Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval
thereafter to be granted hereunder.

hereof and thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties

Section
9.7 Severability
of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants,
agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason

its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the
parties hereto shall agree, it being agreed that the parties hereto shall not
terminate this Agreement at any time prior to payment in full of the Notes and
the other Secured Obligations. The rights and remedies with respect
to any breach of any representation and warranty made by MedPro pursuant to
Section 5.1 and the indemnification and payment provisions of Article VIII and
Section 9.11 (and any other similar provisions in the other Transaction
Documents) shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.
Section
9.9 Acknowledgement and
Agreement. MedPro expressly acknowledges and agrees that all
of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement
(including the Issuer’s rights under the Servicing Agreement) shall be pledged
and assigned to the Trustee as collateral by the Issuer pursuant to the
Indenture, and MedPro consents to such pledge and assignment. Each of
the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Trustee, acting on behalf of
the Noteholders, shall be entitled to exercise the rights of the Issuer to give
consents under Section 6.2 and the other provisions hereof, to receive materials
under Section 6.3(d) and Section 6.3(e) and the other provisions hereof and to
enforce the rights set forth in Section 6.1(g) and the other provisions
hereof. Each of the parties hereto further acknowledges and agrees
that the rights of the Issuer arising hereunder that have been assigned and
pledged to the Trustee under the Indenture may, except as set forth in the
preceding sentence, be enforced by the Trustee only so long as an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee is exercising remedies
under the Indenture, in each case at the direction of Noteholders holding a
majority in Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class of
Notes. In all other cases, the Issuer shall have the right to give
and withhold consents and exercise or refrain from exercising rights and
remedies hereunder.
Section
9.10 Cumulative
Remedies. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law. Without limiting the
foregoing, MedPro hereby authorizes the Issuer, at any time and from time to
time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to offset any amounts payable by
the Issuer to, or for the account of, MedPro against any obligations of MedPro
to the Issuer arising in connection with the Transaction Documents (including
amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.1) that are then due and
payable.

Section
9.11 Costs,
Expenses and Taxes. In addition to the obligations of MedPro
under Article VIII, MedPro agrees:
(a) to
pay to the Issuer on demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the
Issuer and the Trustee in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents to be delivered hereunder;
(b) to
indemnify the Issuer on an after-tax basis for any stamp and other taxes and
fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution,
delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents to be delivered hereunder, and to indemnify each Indemnified Party on
an after-tax basis in respect of any liabilities with respect to such taxes and
fees; and
(c) to
indemnify the Issuer on an after-tax basis for any U.S. federal, state, local or
foreign income, franchise or other taxes imposed on income or assets (including
any interest, penalties or accountant or counsel fees incurred in connection
with such taxes) asserted against the Issuer at any time that the Notes are
outstanding.
Section
9.12 No
Proceedings. MedPro hereby agrees that it will not institute
against the Issuer, or join any Person in instituting against the Issuer, any
insolvency or similar proceeding (namely, any Voluntary Bankruptcy or
Involuntary Bankruptcy) until one year and one day after the date on which the
Notes have been paid in full. The provisions of this Section 9.12
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section
9.13 Consent to
Jurisdiction. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to
this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York or of the United States federal court sitting in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this
Agreement, each party hereto consents, for itself and in respect of its
property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. Each
party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided
for notices in Section 9.3. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect
the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by
law. Each party hereto irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue
or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that it may now or hereafter
have to the bringing of any action or proceeding in such jurisdiction in respect
of this Agreement or any document related hereto. Each party hereto
waives personal service of any summons, complaint or other process, which may be
made by any other means permitted by New York law and irrevocably waives trial
