All references to other documents or instruments shall be
deemed to refer to such documents or instruments as they may hereafter be

2. SECURITY INTEREST. Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a security
interest in the Collateral in order to secure payment and performance of the
Lease Obligations. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, however, Lessee
shall have the right to collect all proceeds of the Collateral and to take other
action with respect to the Collateral, subject to the provisions of this
Assignment.
3. COLLATERAL SECURITY. Upon the payment of the Lease Obligations and
such payment becoming final and no longer subject to refund or rescission under
bankruptcy or other applicable law, the security interest in the Collateral
created by Section 2, and all rights herein granted to Lessor, shall be released
and all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand of Lessor in and to
the Collateral shall revert to Lessee, and Lessor shall at the request of Lessee
deliver to Lessee an instrument cancelling this Assignment and terminating the
security interest in the Collateral created by this Assignment, but until such
time the same shall remain in full force and effect.
4. TITLE. Lessee will defend the Collateral against all claims and
demands of all entities at any time claiming the Collateral, or any portion
thereof or interest therein.
5. FURTHER ACTIONS. Lessee will, at the request of Lessor (i) join with
Lessor in executing one or more financing statements or other documents
necessary or appropriate to evidence or secure the Lease Obligations, or perfect
the security interest in the Collateral created by this Assignment, in form and
content satisfactory to Lessor; (ii) xxxx any chattel paper to reflect Lessor's
interest therein; and (iii) take any other action or execute any other
instrument deemed necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Lessor to perfect
or continue the perfection of the security interest of Lessor in the Collateral
and to protect the Collateral against the rights, claims or interests of all
other entities.
6. NO ENCUMBRANCES. Except for any lease or grant of purchase money
security interests in new items of tangible personal property having an
aggregate cost during the Lease term of an amount not to exceed $25,000 and
except for liens arising in favor of BCC, Lessee will not, without the express
prior written approval of Lessor, in any way encumber, or hypothecate, or create
or permit to exist any lien, security interest or encumbrance or other interest
in the Collateral except the security interest in favor of Lessor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Default or Event of Default then
exists, Lessor will subordinate, in an instrument reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor, its security interest in accounts receivable of
3
4
Lessee/Facility to a first lien security interest granted therein to a lender to
secure a working capital line of credit for the benefit of the Facility.
7. COLLECTION. Lessee will diligently, in accordance with good business
practices, pursue collection of all portions of the Collateral which consist of
obligations or indebtedness owed to Lessee by other Persons, and Lessee will, in
a timely manner, in accordance with good business practices, file (and assign to
Lessor) any liens available to protect the rights of Lessee to payment of such
obligations or indebtedness and will give all prior notices thereof required by
law.
8. RECORDS. Lessee will, upon request by Lessor at any time and from
time to time, deliver or make available to Lessor records and schedules
reflecting the accurate and complete status, condition and location of the
Collateral.

should change its principal place of business or chief executive office from the
address set forth in Section 15 hereof, which Lessee represents to be its

Collateral or the rights or remedies of Lessor with respect to the Collateral.
10. BOOKS AND RECORDS. Lessee will maintain complete and accurate
account books and records with respect to the operation of the Facility, which
books and records shall reflect the consistent application of generally accepted
accounting principles, and Lessee will make such books and records available at
reasonable times for inspection and copying by Lessor or its agents.
11. REMEDIES. In addition to all other remedies available under the
Lease and as otherwise may be available at law or in equity, Lessor may, upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, pursue any, all or any combination of the
remedies described in subsections 11(a) through 11(g):
(a) Exercise any and all of the rights and remedies for which
provision is made by the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, together
with the right to recover the reasonable attorneys' fees and legal
expenses incurred by Lessor in the enforcement of this Assignment or in
connection with any redemption of the Collateral, including fees and
expenses on appeal and in any bankruptcy proceedings.
(b) Require Lessee to assemble the Collateral, or any portion
thereof, and make such available at one or more places as Lessor may
designate, and to deliver possession of the Collateral to Lessor, which

property of Lessee to exercise Lessor's rights hereunder.
(c) Use, operate and control the Collateral to preserve the
Collateral or the value thereof.

(d) Enforce one or more remedies hereunder, successively or
concurrently, and such action shall not operate to estop or prevent
Lessor from pursuing any other or further remedy which Lessor may have.
(e) In connection with any public or private sale under the
applicable Uniform Commercial Code, Lessor shall give Lessee ten (10)
business days' notice of the time and place of any public sale of the
Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or other
intended disposition thereof is to be made, which notice shall be
deemed to be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. Such
notice may be mailed to Lessee at the address and in the manner set
forth in Section 14.
(f) In the event Lessor recovers possession of all or any part
of the Collateral pursuant to a writ of possession or other judicial
process, whether prejudgment or otherwise, Lessor may thereafter
retain, sell or otherwise dispose of such Collateral in accordance with
this Assignment or the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, and
following such retention, sale or other disposition, Lessor may
voluntarily dismiss without prejudice the judicial action in which such
writ of possession or other judicial process was issued. Subject to the
provisions of applicable law, Lessee hereby consents to the voluntary
dismissal by Lessor of such judicial action, and Lessee further
consents to the exoneration of any bond which Lessor may have filed in
such action.
(g) Lessor may notify Lessee's account debtors with respect to
any Accounts to make payment directly to Lessor or to one or more
accounts as designated by Lessor (which in Lessor's judgment will in
the case of Medicare or Medicaid Accounts comply with any legal
requirements of Medicare or Medicaid), and Lessor is hereby authorized
by Lessee (and is appointed attorney-in-fact of Lessee) to sign and
endorse Lessee's name upon any such notice to account debtors and upon
any check, draft, money order or other form of payment of any Account,
and, after applying the same first to expenses of collection and
enforcement of the Accounts, including attorneys' fees, the Lessor may
apply the same to reduce the Lease Obligations in such order as Lessor
shall elect. Lessor shall not be liable for failure to collect or to
enforce any Accounts or for any action or omission on the part Lessor,
its officers, agents and employees in enforcing such Accounts.
12. WAIVER OF CERTAIN LAWS. Lessee agrees that in case of any Event of
Default, neither Lessee nor anyone claiming through or under Lessee will set up,
claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension,
homestead, exemption or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, or otherwise
seek to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Agreement, or the final and
absolute realization of Lessor upon the security interests created by this
Agreement, and Lessee, for Lessee and all who may at any time claim through or
under any Lessee, hereby waives to the full extent that Lessee may lawfully do,

comprising the security intended to be created hereby (that is, the Collateral)
marshalled upon any exercise

6
of the remedies provided herein.
