ACCOUNTS PURCHASE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
ACCOUNTS PURCHASE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT dated as of March 14th, 1996,
(this "Agreement") among LEXINGTON HEALTH CARE GROUP LLC, a Connecticut
Corporation in its individual capacity (the "Provider", and, in its capacity as
servicer, the "Servicer"), LEXINGTON HOLDING CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation, as purchaser (the "Purchaser") and Copelco/American Healthfund,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, as administrator (the "Administrator").
Preliminary Statement
The Provider and the Purchaser intend that from time to time the Provider
will sell and the Purchaser will purchase certain Eligible Accounts originated
by the Provider. The Provider has agreed to act as the Servicer to perform
certain servicing, administrative and collection functions in respect of the
Purchased Accounts. The Purchaser and the Provider desire that the Administrator
perform certain administrative functions in respect of the Purchased Accounts.
(Capitalized terms which are not defined in the text of this Agreement are used
as defined in Exhibit A.)
The parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Commitment to Sell and Purchase Eligible Receivables. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, from the date of this Agreement until
March 13, 1998, the Provider agrees to sell to the Purchaser without recourse
(except to the extent provided herein), and the Purchaser agrees to purchase
from the Provider, all Eligible Accounts originated by the Provider.
2. Purchase Price.
(a) The purchase price of each Batch of Purchased Accounts sold to the
Purchaser will be the Initial Payment plus any Deferred Payment. The Initial
Payment is payable to the Provider on the Purchase Date of the Batch. The amount
of the "Initial Payment" is (i) the Initial ENV of the Batch, minus (ii) the
Loss Discount, the Provider Reserve Discount, the Servicing Fee Discount, and
the Funding Discount.
(b) On each Purchase Date after the Collections (as posted by the
Servicer and reconciled to the satisfaction of the Administrator) have reduced
the Purchaser Capital Investment of the related Batch to zero and have been
otherwise distributed in the manner described in Section 5(h), the excess of
such Collections will be paid to the Provider as a "Deferred Payment".
(c) A sample illustration of the calculation of the Initial Payment
and the Deferred Payment is attached as Schedule 1.

3. Purchase Procedure.
(a) Not less than four (4) Business Days prior to any Purchase Date on
which Eligible Accounts are to be purchased, the Provider will deliver to the
Administrator the computer file data required by the Administrator to enable the
Administrator to process and value the Provider's receivables. Upon completion
of the processing of the receivables data, the Administrator will prepare and
deliver to the Provider an assignment of the Provider's Eligible Accounts to be
sold substantially in the form of Exhibit B (an "Assignment") and a letter
substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a "CFO Letter"). In the event that any
purchase of such Eligible Accounts would cause any Concentration Limit to be
exceeded or would cause any other term or condition hereof to be breached, the
Administrator will select which of such Eligible Accounts are to be purchased on
the next Purchase Date in a manner such that all Concentration Limits and other
terms of this Agreement are adhered to.
(b) No later than 11:00 a.m. (locally prevailing Eastern time) on the
second Business Day prior to each Purchase Date, the Provider will sign and
return to the Administrator the Assignment, the CFO Letter, and the following
documents (the Assignment, CFO Letter and such documents, collectively, a
"Purchased Account File"):
(i) Any documentation of the claim giving rise to such Account
and any other related documents or information which the Administrator may
reasonably request; and
(ii) Any UCC financing statements and releases that the
Administrator may require in respect of each Account, in form acceptable to the
Administrator.
(c) On the Purchase Date, the Purchaser will send the Provider a check
or wire transfer in the amount of the Initial Payment for the Eligible Accounts
in the purchased Batch, and upon such payment all right, title and interest of
the Provider in and to such Accounts will be vested in the Purchaser and the
Purchaser will become the absolute owner of such Accounts ("Purchased
Accounts"). Thereafter the Purchaser may exercise all rights to enforce and
collect such Accounts, except that with respect to any Purchased Accounts which
are Government Accounts, the Provider will collect such Accounts but solely in
its capacity as Servicer hereunder.
(d) Unless otherwise agreed by the Purchaser and the Administrator,
the initial Purchase Date shall be March 14, 1996.
(e) The Administrator's determinations of the ENV, Initial Payment,
Deferred Payment, Collections and other amounts to be determined or calculated
under this Agreement shall, in the absence of a manifest error, be conclusive
among the Administrator, the Provider and the Purchaser.

the Commercial Lockbox and the Government Lockbox. If any such amount, which in
the aggregate is in excess of five percent (5%) of the Collections for that

Administrator within ten Business Days of receipt, the Discount Rate shall be
increased by 400 basis points until such amount is identified or is reconciled
to the satisfaction of the Administrator, as the case may be. In addition, if
any such amount cannot be identified or reconciled to the satisfaction of the
Administrator, the Administrator may utilize its own staff or, if it deems
necessary, engage an outside auditor, in either case at the Provider's expense
(which in the case of the Administrator's own staff shall be in accordance with
the Administrator's then prevailing customary charges, plus expenses), to make
such examination and report as may be necessary to identify and reconcile such
amount. The Purchaser agrees to cause any payments received on Accounts which
were not Purchased Accounts to be promptly returned to the Provider once such
payments are so identified.
(d) The Provider will not send to or deposit in the Commercial Lockbox
or the Government Lockbox any funds other than payments made with respect to
Accounts.
(e) The Provider will enter into lockbox agreements in respect of the

or such other bank as is acceptable to the Administrator. The Provider shall
instruct the bank maintaining the Government Lockbox and the Commercial Lockbox
to sweep all amounts deposited therein on a daily basis to an account of the
Purchaser or its assignee to be designated by the Administrator (the "Collection
Account").
(f) On each Purchase Date, the Administrator shall determine for each
Batch:
(i) the amount of Collections received on Purchased Accounts
which were made during the preceding Purchase Period (or in respect of Retained
Receipts, were determined to be payments made in respect of Purchased Accounts)
(the "Purchased Receipts");
(ii) any amount of Collections received on Accounts which were
not Purchased Accounts (the "Provider Receipts"); and
(iii) any amount of Collections received during the preceding
Purchase Period representing payments on which no determination has yet been
made as to whether such amounts pertain to Purchased Accounts or are Provider
Receipts, which shall be retained pending such identification (the "Retained
Receipts").
(g) On each Purchase Date, the Administrator shall cause to be
disbursed an amount equal to any Provider Receipts to the Provider.
(h) On each Purchase Date, the Administrator shall cause all Purchased
Receipts in respect of a Batch to be distributed in the following order of
priority:
Page 6 of 37
(O) to the Administrator, an amount equal to the payroll tax
obligation of the Provider, including all penalties and interest to date.
(i) to the Purchaser, the Purchase Period Amount for all
prior Purchase Periods, less all Purchase Period Amounts previously distributed
under this clause (i) with respect to such Batch;
(ii) to the Purchaser, such amount as is necessary to reduce
Purchaser Capital Investment in respect of such Batch to zero;
(iii) to the Purchaser, such amount required to be paid with
respect to Rejected Accounts determined pursuant to Section 7(a);
(iv) to the Administrator, any unreimbursed expenses
required to be paid under Sections 8(j) or 15;

Batch;

prior Purchase Periods with respect to such Batch, less all Administrator Fees
previously distributed under this clause (vi) with respect to such Batch; and
(vii) to the Provider, the excess amount of such Purchased
Receipts, if any, which remain after the above distributions (such excess is the
Deferred Payment).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts payable in respect of a
Batch on any Purchase Date with respect to item (v) above (if the Provider is
then the Servicer) and item (vii) above shall not be paid to the Provider, and
instead shall remain in the Collection Account, if the following event (a
"Restricting Event") shall have occurred and be continuing: (A) if the Purchaser
Capital Investment under this Agreement, less the aggregate Funding Discounts
with respect to all such Purchased Accounts, exceeds 80% of the ENV of all
Purchased Accounts, less the aggregate Funding Discounts with respect to all
such Purchased Accounts. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a
Restricting Event, the Administrator shall cause all such amounts that would
otherwise have been paid to the Provider under items (v) and (vii) to be
distributed on account of any of items (i) - (iv) and (vi) in respect of any
other Batch or Batches that the Administrator may determine in its sole
discretion. Upon the termination of a Restricting Event, such amounts shall be
payable to the Provider.

Purchaser is compelled to surrender such payment or any portion thereof, the
Provider will be liable to the Purchaser for the amount of such payment
surrendered.
(b) Disputed Accounts. If a Purchased Account is not collected within
120 days of its Billing Date, the Provider agrees to seek a written confirmation
from the Obligor that the amount payable is not in dispute. If within 30 days
thereafter the Purchased Account is still unpaid and the Provider has not
obtained such confirmation, unless the Obligor is then subject to a bankruptcy,
receivership or similar proceeding, the Purchased Account will be conclusively
presumed to be a Rejected Account due to a breach of a representation or
warranty.

(c) [OMITTED].
(d) Payment for Rejected Accounts. In the event a Rejected Account is
required to be repurchased by the Provider, the Administrator shall cause the
amount of the Repurchase Price to be paid by the following means, in the
following order of priority: (i) an adjustment in the Servicing Fee (provided
that the breach giving rise to the Rejected Account occurred during such time as
the Provider acted as Servicer), (ii) an adjustment in any Deferred Payment due
the Provider, and/or (iii) an adjustment in any Initial Payment. On behalf of
the Purchaser the Administrator may also demand payment of the Repurchase Price
directly from the Provider or may pursue any other rights under this Agreement,
at law or in equity to obtain the Repurchase Price.
(e) Adjustments to Schedule, Etc. From time to time, in each case upon
not less than two Business Days' notice to the Provider, the Administrator may
amend all or any part of Schedule 2 (including, without limitation, the Provider
Reserve Percentage, the Loss Discount Percentage, the Servicing Fee Percentage
and the Concentration Limits) in order to reflect, in its reasonable judgment,
the experience with the Provider (including, by way of illustration, to adjust
for any known or potential offsets by Medicare or Medicaid), the Servicer or the
Purchased Accounts. In addition, upon not less than three days notice to the
Provider, the Administrator may amend all or any part of Schedule 2 in order to
comply with the requirements of any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization or party guaranteeing, rating or insuring payment of any
Securities.
(f) Disclaimer of Right of Repurchase. Except as otherwise set forth
in this Section 7, the Provider shall have no right to repurchase any Purchased
Accounts.
8. Covenants. The Provider agrees as follows:
(a) The Provider will execute such UCC financing statements (naming
the Purchaser as the purchaser/secured party) that the Administrator reasonably
requests with respect to any Purchased Accounts. From time to time, upon
reasonable request, the Provider will furnish any additional information, will
execute and deliver any additional agreements, documents or financing statements
and will take such other actions as the Administrator deems necessary or
desirable to give effect to the Purchase Documents, to evidence and perfect the
assignment of title to the Purchased Accounts or to aid the collection of the
Purchased Accounts.
(b) The Provider will keep its books and records in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and will xxxx its books and records,
including any computer files, to indicate which Accounts have been sold to the
Purchaser. From time to time the Purchaser or the Administrator or their
respective agents or designees may visit the offices of the Provider to (i)
examine its books and records and any related accountants' reports, (ii) make
copies or extracts therefrom, (iii) discuss the affairs of such Provider with
its employees, (iv) inspect the property of the Provider and (v) assist the
Provider in performing its obligations under this Agreement. In addition, the
Administrator may discuss the affairs of the Provider with the Provider's
accountants and attorneys.
Page 14 of 37
(c) The Provider will deliver to the Administrator (i) as soon as
available, but in no event later than 45 days after the end of each fiscal
quarter, the combined and combining financial statements of the Provider for
such period and for that portion of its fiscal year through the end of such
period, together with a certificate from the chief financial officer of the
Provider that the Provider and its Affiliates are in compliance with the
financial covenants set forth in Section 8 hereof, (ii) as soon as available but
in no event later than 120 days after the end of the Provider's fiscal year, the
combined and combining consolidated financial statements of the Provider for
such year, accompanied by a report and unqualified opinion of a firm of
independent certified public accountants selected by the Provider and acceptable
to the Administrator, together with a certificate from such accountants that the
Provider and its Affiliates are in compliance with the financial covenants set
forth in Section 8 hereof (provided, however, that in making their examination
such accountants shall not be required to go beyond the bounds of generally
accepted auditing procedures for the purpose of certifying financial statements)
and any letters of comments or recommendations issued by the independent
certified public accountants including, but not limited to, those comments
related to the internal accounting controls of the Provider and (iii) promptly
upon request, such other information concerning the Provider as the
Administrator may from time to time request, including Medicare cost reports and
audits, annual reports, securities law filings and reports to any
securityholders.
(d) The Provider will promptly notify the Administrator in the event
of any legal action, dispute, setoff, counterclaim, defense or reduction that is
or may be asserted by an Obligor with respect to any Purchased Account. The
Provider will make all payments to each Obligor necessary to prevent any setoff
against any amounts payable with respect to any Purchased Accounts.
(e) The Provider will not impede or interfere with the collection of
the Purchased Accounts, amend, waive or otherwise permit or agree to any
deviation from the terms or conditions of any Purchased Account, or purport to
sell, assign or grant a security interest in any Purchased Account. If
additional information with respect to any Account is requested by the Obligor
on such Account, the Provider will promptly provide the same. If any error has
been made, the Provider will promptly correct the same and, if necessary, rebill
the Purchased Account.
(f) The Provider will treat the purchase by the Purchaser of Purchased
Accounts as a sale for all purposes, including tax and accounting. The Provider
will respond to any inquiries about the ownership of any Purchased Accounts by
stating that it is no longer the owner and that it sold such Purchased Accounts
to the Purchaser.
(g) To help assure that the Provider will be able to perform its
obligations under this Agreement, including its obligation to repurchase
Rejected Accounts, the Provider agrees to maintain a pre-tax profit margin of no
less than two percent (2%) of net revenues based each fiscal quarter on the
average of such quarter and the three immediately preceding fiscal quarters and
tested against the consolidated statements of income delivered to the
Administrator pursuant to Section 8(c). The Provider further agrees to maintain
a Current Ratio of at least 0.85:1, 0.95:1, for the fiscal periods ending
December 31, 1995, March 31, 1996, respectively, and thereafter at 1.0:1, to be
computed and tested against the consolidated
Page 15 of 37
statements of income delivered to the Administrator pursuant to Section 8(c).
For purposes of determining the Current Ratio in the preceeding sentence, then
the liability of the Purchaser, in its capacity as Borrower to the
Administrator, in its capacity as Lender, as of any date of determination shall
be treated as a current liability.
(h) The Provider will notify the Administrator (i) immediately of any
default by it under any material agreement, including any financing agreement,
to which it is a party, (ii) immediately upon learning that any representation
or warranty made by the Provider in this Agreement is false in any material
respect, and (iii) 30 days prior to any change of its name or any of its
locations shown on the signature page of this Agreement.
(i) At the request of the Administrator, the Provider will promptly
provide and verify the accuracy of information concerning the Provider and its
Affiliates of the type provided to the Administrator in connection with the
Administrator's decision to enter into this Agreement and such other information
concerning the Provider and its Affiliates as the Administrator may reasonably
request in connection with any offering documents with respect to the
contemplated securitization of, and sale of securities backed by, the Purchased
Accounts (the "Securities"), including, without limitation, all information
necessary to provide full and complete disclosure of all material facts
pertaining to an investment in the Securities in compliance with federal and
state securities and blue sky laws, and such information may be published in
such offering documents and relied upon by the Purchaser and any party arranging
the offering of such Securities by the Purchaser or its assignee. Such
information will be true and complete in all material respects and will not omit
to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in such
information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
(j) The Provider will pay the reasonable third party expenses of the
Administrator incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement including, without limitation, wire transfer fees, lockbox fees and
audit fees. In addition, the Provider will pay fees for Accounts analysis or
other business analysis conducted by the Administrator or its representatives
(including, without limitation, verifications of Accounts) in connection with
this Agreement, the need for which shall be determined by the Administrator.
Such fees shall be charged per day, per person, for each person employed to
perform such examinations, together with all costs, disbursements and expenses
incurred by Administrator and the person performing such examination. Such
analysis and audits may be performed on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if
deemed necessary or desirable in the sole discretion of the Administrator.
(k) The Provider will retain the first one million dollars of net
income, determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that the Provider
may make such distributions to its shareholders in an amount not in excess of an
amount equal to the personal income tax (federal and state) levied or to be
levied on such income to the extent such income of the Provider is attributed to
such shareholders without actual distribution thereof.
9. Intent of Parties; Security Interest. The Provider and the Purchaser
confirm that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are intended as
purchases and sales
Page 16 of 37
rather than loans. In the event that, contrary to such intent, any purchase of
Purchased Accounts is characterized as a loan and not a sale, the Provider will
be deemed to have granted (as of the date of this Agreement), and the Provider
does hereby grant, to the Purchaser a security interest in and to such Purchased
Accounts, all items and amounts deposited and held from time to time in the
Commercial Lockbox, the Government Lockbox, and the Collection Account, all
rights of payment under the Purchased Accounts and the Contracts related
thereto, and all proceeds thereof to secure all amounts to which the Purchaser
is entitled hereunder. In such event this Agreement will be deemed to be a
security agreement.
10. Servicing.
(a) The Purchaser and the Administrator hereby appoint the Servicer as
agent for the Purchaser to service the Purchased Accounts and to enforce the
Purchaser's rights and interests in each Purchased Account and to serve in such
capacity until the termination of its responsibilities pursuant to paragraphs
(g) or (h). The Servicer agrees to perform its duties and obligations set forth
herein. The Servicer may, with the prior written consent of the Administrator,
subcontract with a subservicer (a "SubServicer") for collection, servicing or
administration of the Accounts except, that (i) the Servicer shall continue to
perform its obligations with respect to Collections of Government Accounts, (ii)
the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and
obligations of the Servicer, notwithstanding any arrangements it may have with
any SubServicer, (iii) any agreement relating to such subservicing shall be
assignable to the Purchaser, the Administrator or a third party designated by
either of them, and (iv) any agreement that may be entered into relating to the
Purchased Accounts involving a SubServicer shall be between the SubServicer and
the Servicer alone, and the Purchaser and Administrator shall have no
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the SubServicer.
(b) The Servicer shall conduct the servicing, administration and
collection of the Purchased and nonpurchased Accounts and shall take, or cause
to be taken, all actions as may be necessary or advisable to service, administer
and collect each Purchased and nonpurchased Account, all in accordance with (i)
customary and prudent servicing procedures for health care accounts receivable
of a similar type, (ii) all applicable laws, rules and regulations (including
Medicare, Medicaid and CHAMPUS regulations), and (iii) without limitation as to
its obligations under the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), no less a standard of
care than that which it applies to Accounts it services for its own account. Any
documents relating to the Purchased Accounts in the possession of the Servicer
shall be held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the Purchaser and any
assignee of the Purchaser.
(c) The duties of the Servicer shall include, without limitation:
(i) preparing and submitting claims to, and handling post-billing
liaison with, Obligors;
(ii) arranging for the direct remittance of all Collections to
the Commercial Lockbox (other than Collections with respect to Government
Accounts, which it shall arrange to be remitted directly to the Government
Lockbox) and remitting promptly, and in
Page 17 of 37
any event within one Business Day of receipt, to the Commercial Lockbox or the
Government Lockbox, as the case may be, any Collections the Servicer or the
Provider may receive. Until so remitted, such collections shall be held in trust
for the benefit of the Purchaser;
(iii) maintaining all necessary servicing records with respect to
the Purchased Accounts and providing such reports to the Administrator in
respect of the servicing of the Purchased Accounts as may be required hereunder
or as the Administrator may reasonably request;
(iv) at any time and from time to time at reasonable intervals
and during regular business hours, permitting the Purchaser, the Administrator
or any of their respective agents, designees or representatives, (A) to examine
and make copies of and abstracts from all servicing records, and (B) to visit
the offices and properties of the Servicer for the purpose of examining such
servicing records, and to discuss with employees of the Servicer matters
relating to the Accounts or the Servicer's performance under this Agreement; and
(v) immediately notifying the Administrator of (A) any action,
suit, proceeding, dispute, offset, deduction, defense or counterclaim that, to
the knowledge of the Servicer, is or may be asserted by an Obligor with respect
to any Purchased Account and (B) the occurrence of a Termination Event or an
event which, with notice or lapse of time or both would be a Termination Event
(such notice shall set forth the details of such event and any action which the
Servicer has taken or proposes to take with respect thereto).
(d) Each of the Provider and the Purchaser hereby authorizes the
Servicer (including any successor thereto) to take any and all reasonable steps
in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with
the sale of the Purchased Accounts to the Purchaser, to collect all amounts due
under any and all Purchased Accounts, including, without limitation, endorsing
either of their names on checks and other instruments representing Collections,
executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction, or of partial
or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect
to the Purchased Accounts and, after the delinquency of any Purchased Account,
to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment of such Purchased
Accounts, and adjusting, settling or compromising the Account or payment
thereof, to the same extent as the Provider could have done if it had continued
to own such Account. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make the
Purchaser or the Administrator a party to any litigation without such party's
express prior written consent.
(e) As compensation for its servicing activities hereunder, the
Servicer shall be entitled to receive a servicing fee equal to the Servicing Fee
Percentage (as set forth in Schedule 2) of the Purchased Receipts minus any
adjustment to such amount pursuant to Section 7(d) (the "Servicing Fee"). Such
Servicing Fee shall be payable as provided in Section 5(b). The Servicer shall
be required to pay for all expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with
its activities hereunder without reimbursement and shall not be entitled to any
payment other than the Servicing Fee.
Page 18 of 37
(f) The Servicer agrees to comply with all laws, rules and regulations
applicable to it and with all Contracts to which it is a party and to maintain
its existence and all authorizations necessary or desirable to carry out its
duties hereunder. Without the written consent of the Administrator the Servicer
shall not:
(i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or create or suffer to
exist any adverse claim upon or with respect to any Purchased Account or related
Contract, or upon or with respect to the Government Lockbox or the Commercial
Lockbox or any other account to which any Collections of any Purchased Account
are deposited, or assign any right to receive income in respect thereof;
(ii) extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Purchased
Account, or amend, modify or waive any term or condition of any related
Contract;
(iii) make any material change in the character of its business;
(iv) make any change in the instructions to Obligors to make
payment to the Government Lockbox or the Commercial Lockbox; or
(v) merge or consolidate with, acquire all or substantially all
of the assets or capital stock of, or otherwise combine with, any person, or
permit any of its subsidiaries to do so.
(g) The Servicer shall not resign from its duties under this Agreement
except upon a determination that (a) the performance of such duties has become
impermissible under applicable law, and (b) there is no reasonable action which
the Servicer could take to make the performance of such duties permissible under
applicable law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the
Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (a) by an opinion of counsel, at the
Servicer's expense, to such effect delivered to the Administrator. No such
resignation shall become effective until a Successor Servicer acceptable to both
the Purchaser and the Administrator shall have assumed the responsibilities and
obligations of the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement.
(h) An "Event of Servicing Termination" shall occur if a Termination
Event occurs pursuant to Section 12(b) or if within any twelve month period two
or more default notices are given by the Administrator under clause (i) of
Section 12(b) (whether or not the Provider or Servicer cures the defaults
described in such notices). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Servicing
Termination the Administrator may appoint another party (a "Successor
Servicer"), which may be the Administrator, to assume the obligations of the
Servicer. In connection therewith, the Successor Servicer shall succeed to and
assume all of the Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations as
Servicer (but not in any other capacity) under this Agreement except with
respect to Government Accounts. The Servicer shall provide the Successor
Servicer with all information, documents and records, to the extent required by
the Successor Servicer to perform its duties. The Servicer shall also terminate
its activities as Servicer hereunder, except its collection functions in respect
of Government Accounts, in a manner acceptable to the Administrator and the
Successor Servicer so as to facilitate the transfer
Page 19 of 37
of servicing to the Successor Servicer including, without limitation, accounting
for all funds related to the Purchased Accounts. The Servicer shall terminate
each subservicing agreement that may have been entered into, and the Successor
Servicer shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the Servicer's interest
therein or to have replaced the Servicer as a party to any such agreement.
11. Termination.
Following the Termination Date no Deferred Payments and, if the
Provider is acting as the Servicer, no further Servicing Fees, will be payable
until the Evaluation Date immediately following the month in which Collections
result in reducing the Purchaser Capital Investment to zero. On such Evaluation
Date any amounts that otherwise would have been payable as a Deferred Payment or
Servicing Fee will be disbursed to the Provider. In addition, any Purchased
Accounts which then have an ENV greater than zero shall be transferred to the
Provider. Such disbursement and transfer will constitute the final Deferred
Payment to the Provider with respect to all Batches.
12. Termination Events.
(a) Upon 90 days notice to the Administrator, the Provider may
designate a Termination Date which is earlier than the end of the period
specified in Section 1.
(b) Each of the following events shall constitute a "Termination
Event":

any material respect any term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement
or any related documents (other than a failure described in clause (xii) below)
and such failure continues for five Business Days after notice by the
Administrator (or in the case of a failure to repurchase Rejected Accounts,
fails to effect such repurchase within the period specified in Section 7(a)), or
any representation or warranty contained in Section 6(a) proves to be incorrect
in any material respect;
(ii) any judgment against the Provider for the payment of money
in the amount of $50,000 or more (other than one covered by adequate insurance
after giving effect to any deductible) remains unpaid or unstayed on appeal for
a period of 30 days or more or any governmental authority files notice of a lien
on any assets of the Provider (other than a lien which is limited to property
other than Accounts and does not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition or business of the Provider);
(iii) any failure by the Provider to make any payment or deposit
required to be made hereunder or otherwise due the Purchaser or the
Administrator and the continuance of such failure for a period of two Business
Days after the date upon which the Provider becomes aware of or has received
written notice of such failure;
Page 20 of 37
(iv) the Administrator determines that an event which adversely
affects the collectibility of a material portion of the Purchased Accounts has
occurred other than due to the financial inability of any Obligors to pay;
(v) Accounts which became Rejected Accounts during the four weeks
prior to the end of the preceding calendar month, as a percentage of the Initial
ENV of all Purchased Accounts purchased during the same period exceeds five
percent (5%);
(vi) a material adverse change in the business or prospects of
the Provider (including a change in control or shareholders of the Provider) or
in the Obligor reimbursement rates for the Provider's services, including
without limitation, a change in federal or state laws or rules affecting the
provision of, or payment for, medical services;
(vii) a material change occurs in the marketplace for the
delivery or financing of healthcare services which causes a material adverse
change in the business or prospects of the Purchaser or the Administrator, or
any event occurs which results in the early amortization or termination of
commitments made to the Purchaser for the financing or repurchase of Accounts;
(viii) the Purchase Documents cease for any reason to evidence
the transfer to the Purchaser (or its assignees or transferees) of title to, and
ownership of, the Purchased Accounts;
(ix) any change in law prevents the sale of Government Accounts
under this Agreement, or any change in law or accounting principles occurs which
the Administrator believes would jeopardize treatment of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement as sales;
(x) any instruction or agreement regarding the Commercial Lockbox
or the Government Lockbox or the bank accounts related thereto is amended or
terminated without the written consent of the Administrator, or the Provider or
the Servicer fails, within one Business Day of receipt, to forward Collections
it receives with respect to any Purchased Accounts to the Commercial Lockbox or
the Government Lockbox, as the case may be;
(xi) the Administrator appoints a Successor Servicer pursuant to
Section 10(h);
(xii) the Provider generally fails to pay its debts as such debts
become due, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally, or
makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(xiii) the Provider is dissolved or liquidated, makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a petition in bankruptcy, is
adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt, petitions or applies to any tribunal for any

bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment of debt or dissolution or liquidation
law or statute of any jurisdiction, has commenced against it any bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar case or proceeding relating to it or its property
under the law of any
Page 21 of 37
jurisdiction which is not dismissed within sixty (60) days, or the Provider
seeks the appointment of a trustee or receiver or a trustee or receiver is
appointed for itself or any substantial part of its assets or permits such to
continue undismissed for a period of sixty (60) days; or,
(xiv) (A) the average ENV of the Purchased Accounts under all
Affiliate Purchase Agreements during the preceding three calendar months is less
than 120% of the average Purchaser Capital Investment under all Affiliate
Purchase Agreements during such period, or (B) the average ENV of the Purchased
Accounts under all Affiliate Purchase Agreements during any calendar month is
less than 115% of the average Purchaser Capital Investment under all Affiliate
Purchase Agreements during such period, or (C) the average ENV of the Purchased
Accounts under all Affiliate Purchase Agreements during any two consecutive
Purchase Periods is less than 110% of the average Purchaser Capital Investment
under all Affiliate Purchase Agreements during such period (for purposes of this
clause (xvi), the average ENV of the Purchased Accounts during a given period
shall be computed based on the ENV of the Purchased Accounts as of each Purchase
Date during such Period, and the average Purchaser Capital Investment during a
given period shall be computed by (i) treating the daily amount of the ENV of
the Purchased Accounts as the ENV of the Purchased Accounts as of the most
recent Purchase Date, (ii) totaling the daily amounts of the ENV of the
Purchased Accounts for all the days in the period, and (iii) dividing by the
number of days in the period. The average Purchaser Capital Investment shall be
computed in a similar manner.).
(xv) If the Administrator shall receive from either Xxxx Freidler
or Stefani Freidler, or both, a notice that they have cancelled either of their
respective guaranties given the Administrator of even date hereof.
(c) If a Termination Event occurs under clauses (i) through (ix),
inclusive, of Section 12(b), then the Administrator or the Purchaser may, by
delivery of a notice to the Provider, declare the Termination Date to have
occurred. If a Termination Event occurs under any other clause of Section 12(b),
then the Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred automatically without
notice of any kind. Following the occurrence of the Termination Date (whether
under Section 1, Section 12(a) or Section 12(b)) no Deferred Payments and, if
the Provider is acting as the Servicer, no further Servicing Fees shall be
payable, except in either case as provided in Section 11. Also, following the
occurrence of the Termination Date the Purchaser may, in addition to exercising
any and all rights under this Agreement, exercise any rights provided under the
UCC and other applicable law.
(d) If a Termination Event occurs by reason of an event described in
clauses (x), (xi), (xii) or (xiii) of Section 12(b), as soon as practicable but
in any event within three Business Days of any demand by the Administrator, the
Servicer will give the Administrator, any Successor Servicer and their
representatives and designees remote access to the Servicer's information system
for purposes of monitoring, posting payments, and rebilling Purchased Accounts
to the extent deemed necessary by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
(e). Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Discount Rate
shall be increased by 400 basis points.
Page 22 of 37

permitted by Section 12(a) or (y) the Administrator or the Purchaser declares an
early Termination Date upon the occurrence of an event described in any of
clauses (i)-(v) inclusive, (x), (xi) or (xiv) of Section 12(b). The early
termination fee will be payable on the Termination Date and be determined
pursuant to the following schedule, which the Provider confirms is reasonable
under the circumstances:
Early Termination Fee Expressed
Year in Which as a Percentage of Maximum
Termination Date Occurs Purchaser Capital Investment
----------------------- ----------------------------
First Year 2.0%
Second Year 1.0%
14. Waiver; Remedies; Etc. No failure by the Purchaser or the Administrator
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise preclude any other or future
exercise thereof or of any other right. The remedies provided in this Agreement
are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. Neither this
Agreement nor any Assignment will constitute an assumption by the Purchaser or
the Administrator of any obligation to any Obligor.
15. Indemnification; Expenses.
(a) Each of the Provider and the Servicer severally agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, the Administrator and their
respective officers, directors and agents, from and against all losses,
liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which may
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of them relating to or
arising out of any breach by the Provider or the Servicer, as the case may be,
of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in any Purchase
Document or, in the case of the Provider, any misstatement or omission in any
information furnished by the Provider pursuant to Section 8(i).
(b) Each of the Provider and the Servicer severally agrees to pay all
out-of-pocket reasonable expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel and
accountants, which may be expended or incurred by the Administrator in enforcing
or attempting to enforce any of the Purchaser's or the Administrator's rights
against such party under the Purchase Documents, which costs, if not paid on
demand, shall bear interest at a rate of 18% per annum or, if less, the highest
rate permitted under applicable law.
(c) The Provider shall pay, on each Purchase Date a claim monitoring
fee in an amount equal to the product of one quarter of one percent (0.25%)
multiplied by the amount of Collections in respect of Purchased Accounts for the
then ended Purchase Period; provided, however, that the Provider shall not be
required to pay on account of the foregoing to the extent the amounts paid in
respect of the foregoing exceeds during each annual period commencing with the
date first above written, 1.5% per annum of the average Purchaser Capital
Investment as
Page 23 of 37
determined using the Purchaser Capital Investment determined on each Purchase
Date. In addition, if as of the close of business on any Purchase Date the
Purchaser Capital Investment, is less than the Minimum Purchaser Capital
Investment, the Provider shall pay, on each Purchase Date a supplemental claim
monitoring fee in an amount equal to $2,000. This Section 15 will survive the
termination of this Agreement.
16. Confidentiality. Except to the extent required by law, the Provider,
the Servicer, the Purchaser and the Administrator agree to maintain the
confidentiality of this Agreement and not to disclose the contents hereof or
provide a copy hereof to any third party, except (i) accountants, lawyers and
financial advisers of the parties who are informed of and agree to be bound by
this Section 16, and (ii) that copies hereof may be provided to any assignee of
the Purchaser, any investors or prospective investors who acquire or may acquire
securities backed by Purchased Accounts and any parties which facilitate the
issuance of such securities, including rating agencies, guarantors and insurers.
The Purchaser and the Administrator agree to maintain the confidentiality of
patient information obtained as a result of its interests in, or duties with
respect to, the Purchased Accounts.
17. Governing Law. This Agreement, each of the other Purchase Documents and
all of the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder and thereunder will
be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Pennsylvania.
18. Waiver of Jury Trial and Consent to Jurisdiction.
