purchase or accept the contribution of such healthcare receivables on the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, the parties agree
as follows:

accept such contribution of the Provider's Accounts.
SECTION 1.02. Receivable Information and Transferred Batch

(the "Proposed Eligible Receivables") and with respect to new Accounts that it
has determined do not constitute Eligible Receivables.
(b) All Proposed Eligible Receivables for which Receivable
Information has been received by the Master Servicer between the prior Batching
Time and the current Batching Time shall be reviewed by the Daiwa Group. On or
prior to each Transfer Date, the Purchaser or the Program Manager shall prepare
a list of all Proposed Eligible Receivables, and delineating those Proposed
Eligible Receivables that the Purchaser will purchase on the Transfer Date (a
"Purchased Batch", and together with the remaining Proposed Eligible Receivables
and all other Receivables that are not Eligible Receivables that will not be
purchased and instead will be contributed to the
5
Purchaser, the "Transferred Batch"), together with an explanation stating that
the identified Proposed Eligible Receivables not included in the Purchased Batch
are not Eligible Receivables and the basis thereof.
SECTION 1.03. The Transfers. (a) On each Transfer Date, (i) subject
to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II hereto, the
Purchaser shall pay to the Provider in same day funds, at the Existing Provider
Account, an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Purchased Batch, and (ii)
the Provider will contribute to the capital of the Purchaser all other
Receivables in the Transferred Batch.
(b) Effective on each Transfer Date, in consideration of the
Purchase Price and other good and valuable consideration, the Provider hereby
sells, contributes and assigns to the Purchaser and the Purchaser hereby
purchases and accepts, as absolute owner, the Transferred Batch purchased or
contributed on such Transfer Date.
SECTION 1.04. Collection and Payment Procedures. (a) Collections on
the Transferred Batch. The Purchaser shall be entitled with respect to each
Transferred Batch, (i) to the extent permitted by law and in a manner consistent
with all applicable laws and regulations, to receive all Collections on such
Transferred Batch, and (ii) to have and to exercise any and all rights (x) to
collect, record, track and, during the continuance of an Event of Termination or
a Servicer Termination Event, take all actions to obtain Collections with
respect to each Batch Receivable payable by Obligors other than Governmental
Entities, and (y) to the extent permitted by law and in a manner consistent with
all applicable laws and regulations, to record, track and, during the
continuance of an Event of Termination or a Servicer Termination Event, take all

Governmental Entities.

Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Purchaser shall
pay or turn over, as the case may be, to the Provider any and all cash
collections or other cash or non-cash proceeds received by the Purchaser during
the immediately preceding Settlement Period with respect to Accounts that are
not part of any Transferred Batch.
(c) Distributions on each Settlement Date. On each Settlement Date
and with respect to each Transferred Batch, Total Collections shall be

Batch shall be administered by the Master Servicer in a manner consistent with
the terms of this Agreement. The responsibilities of the Provider to the Master
Servicer have been set forth in Exhibit X attached hereto. The Provider shall
cooperate fully with the Master Servicer in establishing and maintaining the
Transmission of the Receivable Information, including, without limitation, the
matters described in Exhibit X, and shall
2
6
provide promptly to the Master Servicer such other information necessary or
desirable for the administration of Collections on the Batch Receivables as may
be requested from time to time.
(b) The Purchaser hereby appoints the Provider as its agent (in such
capacity, the "Servicer") for the administration and servicing obligations set
forth in Exhibit VIII hereto with respect to the Accounts sold or transferred by
the Provider to the Purchaser hereunder (the "Primary Servicer
Responsibilities"), and the Provider hereby accepts such appointment and agrees
to perform the Primary Servicer Responsibilities. Each of the Provider, the
Servicer and the Purchaser hereby acknowledge that the Servicer's appointment is
subject to and limited by DH-2's appointment of the Purchaser as its agent for
performance of the Primary Servicer Responsibilities under the Loan Agreement
and DH-2's rights thereunder to replace the Purchaser (which replacement may be
effectuated through the outplacement to a qualified and experienced third party
of all back office duties, including billing, collection and processing
responsibilities, and access to all personnel, hardware and software utilized in
connection with such responsibilities). The Purchaser may, at any time following
the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event (and shall, without requirement
of notice to any party, upon a Servicer Termination Event resulting from the
events described in clauses (g) or (j) of Exhibit V hereto) appoint another
Person to succeed the Servicer as its agent for performance of the Primary
Servicer Responsibilities (which appointment may be effectuated through the
outplacement to a qualified and experienced third party of all back office
duties, including billing, collection and processing responsibilities, and
access to all personnel, hardware and software utilized in connection with such
responsibilities).
(c) As compensation for the performance of the Primary Servicer
Responsibilities, the Servicer (or the successor Servicer who performs such
Primary Servicer Responsibilities) shall be entitled to a Primary Servicing Fee
with respect to each Purchased Batch; provided, that the Primary Servicing Fee
shall be payable solely, to the extent received, from a similar fee payable by
DH-2 to the Purchaser, and, to the extent not received, the Servicer hereby
waives its right to receive it.
ARTICLE II
PAYMENT MECHANICS; GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES PAYMENT
MECHANICS; EOB'S; MISDIRECTED PAYMENTS
SECTION 2.01. Payment Mechanics. (a) On or prior to the Initial
Transfer Date each of the Servicer, the Provider, the Purchaser, and DH-2 shall
have entered into the Depositary Agreement and shall have caused the Lockbox
Bank to establish the Purchaser Lockbox and the Purchaser Lockbox Account.
(b) The Provider shall prepare, execute and deliver to each Obligor
other than Governmental Entities who is proposed to be a payor of Receivables,
with copies to the Purchaser, on or prior to the Initial Transfer Date, a Notice
to Insurers addressed to each such Obligor, which Notice to Insurers shall
provide that all checks and EOB's from such Obligors on account of
3
7
Receivables shall be sent to the Purchaser Lockbox and all wire transfers on
account of Receivables shall be wired directly into the Purchaser Lockbox
Account.
(c) The Provider covenants and agrees that, on and after the Initial
Transfer Date, all invoices (and, if provided by the Provider, return envelopes)
shall set forth only the address of the Purchaser Lockbox as a return address
for payment of Receivables and delivery of EOB's, and only the Purchaser Lockbox
Account with respect to wire transfers for payment of Receivables. The Provider
hereby further covenants and agrees to instruct and notify each of the members
of its accounting and collections staff to provide identical information in
communications with Obligors with respect to Collections, wire transfers and
EOB's.
SECTION 2.02. Governmental Entities Payment Mechanics. (a) On or
prior to the Initial Transfer Date, each of the Primary Servicer, the Provider,
the Purchaser, and DH-2 shall have entered into the Depositary Agreement, and
the Provider shall have caused the Lockbox Bank to establish the Provider
Lockbox and the Provider Lockbox Account. The Provider shall prepare, execute
and deliver to each Governmental Entity or its fiscal intermediary who is
proposed to be an Obligor of Receivables, with copies to the Purchaser, on or
prior to the Initial Transfer Date, a Notice to Governmental Entities addressed
to each such Governmental Entity, which Notice to Governmental Entities shall
provide that all checks, including any attached EOB's, from Governmental
Entities on account of Receivables shall be sent to the Provider Lockbox and all
wire transfers on account of Receivables shall be wired directly into the
Provider Lockbox Account.
(b) The Provider covenants and agrees that, on and after the Initial
Transfer Date, all invoices to be sent to Governmental Entities (and, if
provided by the Provider, return envelopes) shall set forth only the address of
the Provider Lockbox as a return address for payment of Receivables and delivery
of any EOB's attached to checks from Governmental Entities, and only the
Provider Lockbox Account with respect to wire transfers for payment of
Receivables. The Provider further covenants and agrees to instruct and notify
each of the members of its accounting and collections staff to provide identical
information in communications with Governmental Entities with respect to
Collections, wire transfers and EOB's.
(c) The Provider shall maintain its Provider Lockbox Account solely
and exclusively for the receipt of payments on account of Receivables from
Governmental Entities. The Provider shall take all actions necessary to ensure
that no payments from any Person other than a Governmental Entity shall be
deposited in the Provider Lockbox Account.
SECTION 2.03. Misdirected Payments; EOB's. (a) In the event that the
Provider receives an EOB or a Misdirected Payment in the form of a check, the
Provider shall, as soon as commercially reasonable, send such Misdirected
Payment by overnight delivery service to the appropriate Purchaser Lockbox or
Provider Lockbox, as the case may be, together with the envelope in which such
payment was received. In the event the Provider receives a Misdirected Payment
in the form of cash or wire transfer, the Provider shall, as soon as
commercially reasonable, wire transfer the amount of such Misdirected Payment
directly into the Purchaser Lockbox Account. All
4
8
Misdirected Payments shall be sent promptly upon receipt thereof, and in no
event later than the close of business, on the second full Business Day after
receipt thereof.
(b) If a Misdirected Payment in the form of a check is received by
the Purchaser more than ten days after the postmark date on the envelope
enclosing a check from the Obligor (or, if no such envelope is sent to the
Purchaser Lockbox Account by the Provider, more than ten days after the date of
such check or wire transfer with respect thereto), then the Provider shall pay
interest on such Misdirected Payment to the Purchaser from such tenth subsequent
day to and including the date such check is received in the Purchaser Lockbox
Account, at a rate equal to the LIBO Rate then in effect under the Loan
Agreement (or the maximum rate legally permitted if less than such rate).
(c) The Provider hereby agrees and consents to the Purchaser taking
such actions as are reasonably necessary to ensure that future payments from the
Obligor of a Misdirected Payment shall be made in accordance with the Notice
previously delivered to such Obligor, including, without limitation, following
the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Termination, and to the maximum
extent permitted by law, (i) any member of the Daiwa Group executing on the
Provider's behalf and delivering to such Obligor a new Notice, and (ii) any
member of the Daiwa Group contacting such Obligor by telephone to confirm the
instructions previously set forth in the Notice to such Obligor. Upon the
Purchaser's request, the Provider shall promptly (and in any event, within two
Business Days from such request) take such similar actions as the Purchaser may
request.
SECTION 2.04. Unidentified Payments; Purchaser's Right of
Presumption. Each of the Provider and the Purchaser agrees and consents that the
Daiwa Group may apply any payment it receives against a Purchased Batch if the
Daiwa Group is unable in good faith (after making reasonable attempts to contact
the Provider) to determine from the information in the EOB whether such payment
relates to a Purchased Batch.
SECTION 2.05. No Rights of Withdrawal. Neither the Provider nor the
Purchaser shall have any rights of direction or withdrawal with respect to
amounts held in the Purchaser Lockbox Account.

respectively, hereto.

ARTICLE IV
INDEMNIFICATION;
GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST
SECTION 4.01. Indemnification and Set-Off Rights for Denied
Receivables. (a) If a breach of any of the representations or warranties
contained herein relating to a Purchased Receivable shall be discovered at any
time (each, a "Denied Receivable"), the Provider shall, on the next Settlement
Date, repurchase such Denied Receivable from the Purchaser at the Repurchase
Price.
(b) For ease of administration, the Purchaser shall be entitled to
presume that the failure of any Purchased Receivable (or portion thereof) owing
from Insurers or Governmental Entities to be paid in full on or after the 180th
day following the Last Service Date thereof is the result of a breach of a
representation or warranty contained herein with respect to such Purchased
Receivable, unless the Purchaser shall have, or obtains in the future, actual
knowledge to the contrary (such as, by way of example, actual knowledge of the
financial inability of an Obligor to pay its obligations represented by a
Receivable). In the event the Purchaser receives the Repurchase Price for any
such Purchased Receivable and it is thereafter determined that the failure of
such Purchased Receivable to be paid in full was not the result of a breach of
representation or warranty contained herein, the parties hereto shall make an
appropriate adjustment by increasing the Purchase Price of any Purchased Batch
to be purchased on or after such date.
(c) Upon receipt by (or on behalf of) the Purchaser of the
Repurchase Price with respect to any Denied Receivable, the Purchaser shall be
deemed to have reassigned and resold to the Provider such Denied Receivable
without any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever, and, thereafter,
neither the Purchaser nor any member of the Daiwa Group shall have any further
servicing or other obligation to the Provider with respect to such Denied
Receivable.
(d) From time to time at the request of the Provider, the Purchaser
shall deliver to the Provider (at the Provider's sole cost and expense) such
documents, assignments, releases and instruments of termination as the Provider
may reasonably request to evidence the reconveyance by the Purchaser of a Denied
Receivable pursuant to the terms of Section 4.01(c).
SECTION 4.02. Indemnities by the Provider. Without limiting any
other rights that the Purchaser, the Program Manager, the Master Servicer or any
of their respective Affiliates (together with their respective officers,
directors, shareholders and lenders, each, an "Indemnified Party") may have
hereunder or under applicable law, the Provider hereby agrees to indemnify each
Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) (all of the
foregoing being collectively referred to as "Indemnified Amounts") arising out
of or resulting from any of the following:
6
10
(a) the sale of any Receivable which purports to be part of a
Purchased Batch but which is not, at the date of such sale, the type of
Receivable described in subsection (j) of Exhibit III to this Agreement;
(b) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the
Provider (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this
Agreement and not relating to a Purchased Receivable which shall have been
incorrect in any material respect when made;
(c) the failure by the Provider or any Batch Receivable to
comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any
Batch Receivable;
(d) the failure to vest in the Purchaser a perfected ownership
interest in each Receivable included in a Transferred Batch and the
Collections in respect thereof, free and clear of any Liens;
(e) any dispute, claim, set-off or defense to the payment, in
whole or in part, of any Receivable (including, without limitation, a
defense based on such Receivable not being a legal, valid and binding
obligation) or any other claim resulting from the services or merchandise
related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such
services or merchandise or relating to collection activities with respect
to such Receivable (if such collection activities were performed by the
Provider or any of its Affiliates acting as Servicer), provided, however,
this clause (e) shall not be deemed to include any dispute, claim, set-off
or defense to the payment of any Receivable (i) arising out of the
financial inability of an Obligor to pay its obligations represented by
such Receivable including, without limitation, a discharge in bankruptcy,
or (ii) arising after the sale of such Receivable to the Purchaser
hereunder and arising solely as a result of actions taken by any member of
the Daiwa Group;
(f) a failure of the Provider, including, without limitation,
the Servicer's actions on behalf of the Provider under Section 1.05(b) of
this Agreement with respect to Primary Servicer Responsibilities, to
perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof
or to perform its duties or obligations hereunder; or
(g) the commingling by the Provider of Collections at any time
with other funds of the Provider,
provided, however, that in all events there shall be excluded from the foregoing
indemnification any claims, losses or liabilities resulting solely from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party or which
constitutes recourse for an uncollectible Purchased Receivable.
Such Indemnified Party shall notify the Servicer, on behalf of the
Provider, of such claim, provided that the failure to so notify shall not affect
or invalidate the indemnity granted pursuant to this Section 4.02.
7
11
SECTION 4.03. Right of Set-Off. Unless the Provider notifies the
Purchaser in writing that it desires to pay on the date when due the Repurchase
Price under Section 4.01 or any Indemnified Amounts under Section 4.02 and the
Provider makes such payment to the Purchaser in immediately available funds on
such date, the Provider hereby irrevocably instructs the Purchaser to set-off
the full amount of the Repurchase Price or the Indemnified Amounts, as the case
may be, against the Purchase Price of any Purchased Batch to be purchased on or
after such date. No further notification, act or consent of any nature
whatsoever is required prior to the right of the Purchaser to exercise such
right of set-off, provided, however, the Purchaser or a member of the Daiwa
Group shall notify the Servicer on behalf of the Provider that a set-off
pursuant to this Section 4.03 occurred, the amount of such set-off and a
description of the Denied Receivable or Indemnified Amounts, as the case may be.
The Purchaser shall exercise its right to set-off hereunder to the extent funds
are available prior to making a demand for indemnification under Section 4.02
SECTION 4.04. Grant of Security Interest. (a) As collateral security
for the Provider's existing and future (i) obligations to repurchase Denied
Receivables under Section 4.01 hereof, (ii) indemnification obligations to the
Purchaser under Section 4.02 hereof, and (iii) obligations to pay costs,
expenses and fees under Section 5.05 hereof, the Provider hereby grants to the
Purchaser a first priority lien on and security interest in, and right of
set-off against, all of the Accounts now or hereafter owned or held by the
Provider and all bank accounts and instruments in respect thereto and all
proceeds thereof.
(b) In connection with the grant under (a) above, this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a security agreement as understood under the UCC. The
Provider agrees to execute, and hereby authorizes the Purchaser to file, one or
more financing statements or continuation statements or amendments thereto or
assignments thereof in respect of the lien created pursuant to this Section 4.04
which may at any time be required or, in the opinion of the Purchaser, be
desirable, and to do so without the signature of the Provider where permitted by
law.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 5.01. Amendments, etc. (a) No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom by a party
hereto shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Servicer, the
Provider, the Purchaser, and DH-2 as assignee of all of the Purchaser's rights
and remedies hereunder, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given. No failure on the part of the Purchaser, the Servicer or the Provider to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right.
(b) The parties hereto agree to make any change, modification or
amendment to this Agreement as may be requested by Duff & Xxxxxx Credit Rating
Co. or any other rating agency
8
12
then rating the healthcare finance program of DH-2, so long as any such change,
modification or amendment does not materially adversely affect the parties
hereto.
SECTION 5.02. Notices, etc. All notices and other communications
hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (which may
include facsimile communication) and shall be faxed or delivered, (i) to each
party hereto, at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages
hereto or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a
written notice to the other parties hereto (the Provider hereby acknowledges and
agrees that notices to or for the benefit of the Provider may be delivered to
the Servicer and such delivery to the Servicer shall be deemed to be received by
the Provider), and (ii) to the Program Manager and the Master Servicer at the
addresses set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. Notices and communications by
telefacsimile shall be effective upon electronic confirmation of receipt by the
addressee, and notices and communications sent by other means shall be effective

SECTION 5.03. Assignability. (a) This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective permitted
successors and assigns.
(b) Subject to Section 5.03(b) of the Loan Agreement, this Agreement
and the Purchaser's rights and obligations herein (including without limitation,
ownership of the Purchased Receivables in each Purchased Batch, the Purchaser
Lockbox and Purchaser Lockbox Account and rights in relation to the Provider
Lockbox and the Provider Lockbox Account) shall be assignable by the Purchaser
and its successors and assigns. The Provider hereby acknowledges that the
Purchaser is granting to DH-2, which is further granting to its lenders, a
security interest in this Agreement and all of the Purchaser's rights, title and
interests hereunder (including, without limitation, the Purchased Receivables,
Provider's obligations hereunder, the Purchaser Lockbox and Purchaser Lockbox
Account, and rights in relation to the Provider Lockbox and the Provider Lockbox
Account).
(c) The Provider may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder
or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and
DH-2.
SECTION 5.04. Further Assurances. The Provider shall, at its cost
and expense, upon the request of the Purchaser, duly execute and deliver, or
cause to be duly executed and delivered, to the Purchaser such further
instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts as may be necessary or
proper in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser to carry out more effectively
the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.
SECTION 5.05. Costs, Expenses and Termination Fee. In addition to
the rights of indemnification granted under Section 4.02 hereof, the Provider
agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the
preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and any waiver,
modification, supplement or amendment hereto, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Purchaser and the
members of the Daiwa Group, and all costs and expenses, if any (including
reasonable counsel fees and expenses), of the Purchaser, its Affiliates and the
members of the Daiwa Group in connection
9
13
with the enforcement of this Agreement. The Provider further agrees to pay on
the Initial Transfer Date (and with respect to costs and expenses incurred
following the Initial Transfer Date, within seven days of demand therefor) (a)
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser or its agent in
connection with periodic audits of the Receivables, and (b) all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer or the Program Manager to
accommodate any significant coding or data system changes made by the Provider
that would affect the transmission or interpretation of data received through
the interface.
In the event that any Facility Termination Date is declared (or is
deemed to have occurred) pursuant to an Event of Termination, the Provider shall
pay to the Purchaser an early termination fee in an amount equal to 2.00% of the
Revolving Commitment (as defined in the Loan Agreement) then in effect pursuant
to the Loan Agreement.
In the event that, following the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Termination or a Servicer Termination Event, the Purchaser or any
member of the Daiwa Group shall retain an attorney or attorneys to collect,
enforce, protect, maintain, preserve or foreclose its interests with respect to
this Agreement, any related documents, any Account, any Lien, or under any
instrument or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, the Provider shall
pay all of the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of such collection,
enforcement, protection, maintenance, preservation or foreclosure, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, and the Purchaser may take judgment for all such
amounts. The attorneys' fees arising from such services, including those of any
appellate proceedings, and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses,
charges, costs and other fees incurred by such counsel in any way or in any
respect to or arising out of or in connection with or relating to any of the
events or actions described in this Section 5.05 shall be payable by the
Provider to the Purchaser on demand (with interest accruing from the twentieth
Business Day following the date of such demand).

Bank in which the Daiwa Group maintains sole dominion and control pursuant to a
cash collateral agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Daiwa Group
(the "Medicare Reserve"). On each payment date set forth thereafter in the
Medicare Payment Schedule, the Provider shall deposit an amount in cash into the
Medicare Reserve such that the aggregate amount in the Medicare Reserve is equal
to the amount set forth in the Medicare Payment Schedule for the payment due six
months thereafter. So long as no Event of Termination has occurred and all funds

shall forthwith be reserved for pursuant to a cash collateral agreement in a
manner reasonably acceptable to the Daiwa Group and generally consistent with

collateral account until (i) the Provider demonstrates to the Daiwa Group that
no further payments are due under such reserve's payment schedule, and the Daiwa
Group, in its sole discretion, determines that such reserve is no longer
necessary; or (ii) the Facility Termination Date occurs and all obligations
under this Agreement and the Loan Agreement have been indefeasibly paid in full.

designates and appoints the Purchaser, the Servicer, the Master Servicer and

PRIMARY SERVICER RESPONSIBILITIES
The Provider shall be responsible for the following administration
and servicing obligations (the "Primary Servicer Responsibilities") which shall
be performed by the Provider on behalf of the Purchaser until such time as a
successor servicer shall be designated and shall accept appointment pursuant to
Section 1.05(b) of the Agreement:
(a) Servicing Standards and Activities. The Provider agrees to
administer and service the Batch Receivables sold or contributed by the Provider
in each Transferred Batch (i) to the extent consistent with the standards set
forth in clauses (b) (i) through (iv) below, with the same care that it
exercises in administering and servicing similar receivables for its own
account, (ii) within the parameters of services set forth in paragraph (b) of
this Exhibit VIII, as such parameters may be modified by mutual written
agreement of the Purchaser and the Provider, (iii) in compliance at all times
with applicable law and with the agreements, covenants, objectives, policies and
procedures set forth in the Agreement, and (iv) in accordance with industry
standards for servicing healthcare receivables unless such standards conflict
with the procedures set forth in paragraph (b) of this Exhibit VIII in which
case the provisions of paragraph (b) shall control. The Provider shall establish
and maintain electronic data processing services for monitoring, administering
and collecting the Batch Receivables in accordance with the foregoing standards
and shall, within three (3) Business Days of the receipt of information, EOB's
or other written matter into a Lockbox, post such information to its electronic
data processing services.
(b) Parameters of Primary Servicing. The Primary Servicer
Responsibilities shall be performed within the following parameters:
(i) Subject to the review and authority of the Purchaser and
except as otherwise provided herein, the Provider shall have full power
and authority to take all actions that it may deem necessary or desirable,
consistent in all material respects with its existing policies and
procedures with respect to the administration and servicing of accounts
receivable, in connection with the administration and servicing of Batch
Receivables. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Provider shall, in the performance of its servicing obligations hereunder,
act in accordance with all legal requirements and subject to the terms and
conditions of the Agreement. The Provider agrees that the Primary
Servicing Fee has been calculated to cover all costs and expenses incurred
in the performance of its servicing obligations hereunder and no other
reimbursement of costs and expenses shall be payable to the Servicer.
(ii) The Provider shall not be entitled to xxx to enforce or
collect any Batch Receivable without the prior written consent of the
Purchaser unless the Provider shall have repurchased such Batch Receivable
in accordance with the Agreement.
VIII-1
57
(iii) The Provider shall not change in any material respect its
existing policies and procedures with respect to the administration and
servicing of accounts receivable (including, without limitation, the
amount and timing of write-offs) without the prior written consent of the
Purchaser.
(iv) The Provider will be responsible for the monitoring and
collection of the Batch Receivables, including, without limitation,
contacting Obligors that have not made payment on their respective Batch
Receivables within the customary time period for such Obligor, and
resubmitting any claim rejected by an Obligor due to incomplete
information.
(v) If the Provider determines that a payment with respect to a
Batch Receivable has been received directly by a patient or any other
Person, the Provider shall promptly advise the Purchaser, and the Provider
shall promptly demand that such patient or other Person remit and return
such funds. If such funds are not promptly received by the Provider, the
Provider shall take all reasonable steps to obtain such funds.
(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the Provider may not amend, waive or otherwise permit or agree to any
deviation from the terms or conditions of any Batch Receivable in any
material respect without the prior consent of the Purchaser.
(c) Aged Term Servicing. The parties hereby agree that at such time
as any Batch Receivable due from an Obligor is unpaid for more than 120 days
after the Last Service Date, the Provider shall, upon the request of the
Purchaser, turn over all of its Primary Servicer Responsibilities under this
Agreement with respect to such Batch Receivable to a successor Servicer selected
by the Purchaser, and such Servicer shall thereafter service such Batch
Receivable.
(d) Termination of Primary Servicer Responsibilities; Cooperation.
Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Purchaser may, by
written notice, terminate the Provider's Primary Servicer Responsibilities, in
which event the Provider shall, as promptly as commercially possible, transfer
to a successor servicer designated by the Purchaser all records, computer access
and other information as shall be necessary or desirable, in the reasonable
judgment of such successor servicer, to perform such responsibilities. The
Provider shall otherwise cooperate fully with such successor servicer.
(e) Primary Servicing Fee. Upon the transfer of servicing with
respect to any Purchased Receivable pursuant to this Agreement, the Provider
shall no longer be paid the Primary Servicing Fee relating to such Purchased
Receivables, which will be paid to the successor Person performing the Primary
Servicer Responsibilities.
VIII-2

EXHIBIT IX
SERVICER TERMINATION EVENTS
Each of the following shall be a "Servicer Termination Event":
(a) An event has occurred and is continuing that constitutes an
Event of Termination or that would constitute an Event of Termination but for
the requirement that notice be given or time elapse or both.
(b) The Servicer is not performing, or becomes unable (in the
commercially reasonable determination of the Purchaser) to perform, fully the
Primary Servicer Responsibilities set forth in Exhibit VIII hereof.
(c) The Provider is unable to maintain the Transmission interface
described in Exhibit X to the satisfaction of the Master Servicer, or the
electronic information servicing capabilities of the Provider are not
functioning for a period of more than five consecutive Business Days.
(d) The Provider has sent multiple Transmissions to the Master
Servicer in a manner that is not in compliance with the specifications set forth
in Exhibit X hereof.
(e) The Purchaser, in its sole judgement, which judgment shall be
commercially reasonable, is not satisfied with the performance by the Provider
of the Primary Servicer Responsibilities or the Servicer on behalf of the
Provider with respect to the Batch Receivables.
(f) If, at any date, the aggregate Expected Net Value of all
Delinquent Receivables that became Delinquent during the prior 3 months is in
excess of 8% of the aggregate Expected Net Value of all Receivables sold by the
Provider to the Purchaser during the prior 3 months (regardless of whether the
Denied Receivables are repurchased by the Provider pursuant to Article IV of the
Agreement).
(g) As of any date after the Initial Transfer Date, (i) the
dollar-weighted average days outstanding with respect to all outstanding Batch
Receivables on such date and on the same day of each of the two preceding
calendar months (or if there is no corresponding day in any such preceding
month, the last day of such month) is greater than 90 days, or (ii) the average
over the preceding 90-day period of the dollar-weighted average days outstanding
with respect to all outstanding Batch Receivables on each day during such period
is greater than 90 days.
(h) As of any date after the Initial Transfer Date, more than 20% of
all outstanding Batch Receivables (excluding Denied Receivables) are aged more
than 120 days but less than 180 days from the respective Last Service Dates of
such Batch Receivables.
IX-1

(i) As of any date, Collections on all Batch Receivables that have
been liquidated or written off during the then most recent 13 week period, are
less than 8% of the aggregate gross value (billed amount) of such Batch
Receivables.

EXHIBIT X
INTERFACE BETWEEN MASTER SERVICER AND THE PROVIDER
1. The Master Servicer will convey appropriate data requirements and
instructions to the Provider to establish a computer interface between the
Provider's systems and the Master Servicer's receivables monitoring
system. The interface will permit the Master Servicer to receive
electronically the Provider's accounts receivable data, including the
Receivable Information, billing data and collection and other transaction
data relating to the Receivables.
2. The Provider shall give the Master Servicer and the Purchaser at least ten
Business Days' notice of any coding changes or electronic data processing
system modifications made by the Provider which could affect the Master
Servicer's processing or interpretation of data received through the
interface.
3. The Master Servicer shall have no responsibility to return to the Provider
any information which the Master Servicer receives pursuant to the
computer interface.
4. The Provider will prepare daily accounts receivable data files of all
transaction types for all of the Provider's sites that are included in the
funding program. The weekly cutoff will occur at a predetermined time each
week, and the weekly cutoff date for all of the sites must occur at
exactly the same time. The cutoff date that will be selected will be at
the end of business for a specific day of the week, or in other words, at
the end of the Provider's transaction posting process for that day. The
Provider will temporarily maintain a copy of the accounts data files in
the event that the data is degraded during transmission, and needs to be
re- transmitted.
The Master Servicer will be responsible for the management of the
hardware, communications and software used in the funding program.
5. The Master Servicer's data center will receive the Receivable files, and
immediately confirm that the files have been passed without degradation of
data by balancing the detailed items to the control totals that accompany
the files. Any problems in this process will be immediately reported to
the Provider so that the Receivable file can be re-transmitted, if
necessary.
6. Once the receipt of the Receivable data has been confirmed, the Master
Servicer will perform certain tests and edits to ensure that each
Receivable meets the specified eligibility criteria for purchase by the
Purchaser. Compliance with concentration limits will be verified and the
Master Servicer will notify the Program Manager to initiate a Receivable
purchase using the Receivable file received. Upon the successful
completion of a purchase, the Master Servicer will generate a one-line
trial balance (listing all purchased accounts) confirming the Receivables
that have been purchased. A copy of the trial balance will be forwarded to
the Provider, to the Servicer, to the Purchaser, and to the Program
Manager to confirm the purchase.
X-1
61
7. The Provider's sites will continue to post daily transactions to their
respective Receivable files. The Provider's Receivable files for each of
the eligible sites will include all transactions posted through that day.
The Provider will create a transaction report and a Receivable file for
each of the eligible sites. The transaction report will contain all
transactions posted to the respective site Receivable file for the
specified period (and will indicate the respective site and the number of
items and total dollars on each transaction report for control purposes).
The Receivable file will contain balances that reflect the transactions
posted on the Provider's systems through the end of business of the
specified period.
The Provider will transmit the billing, transaction, and the most current
Receivable data files to the Master Servicer's data center according to
the established schedule. The Provider and the Servicer should, again,
maintain the backup of each of these files in the event that a
re-transmission is necessary.
8. The Master Servicer's data center will confirm that the files have been
received intact, and will immediately communicate any problems to the
Provider in order to initiate a re-transmission. The Master Servicer will
then post the transaction files to the accounts receivable for the
previously purchased accounts that the Master Servicer is maintaining, and
consequently update the affected balances. Upon completion of the posting
process, the Master Servicer will generate summary reports of the posting
process that the Program Manager will use to complete various funding
activities. The Master Servicer summary reports will reference the
Provider's transaction codes and activity to codes that are common to the
funding program.
9. The Master Servicer will then compare the updated accounts balances on the
Master Servicer's system to the corresponding account balances reflected
on the Receivable file. The Master Servicer expects that the balances for
the funded Receivables will be congruent, and any discrepancies will be
immediately examined and resolved through the cooperative effort of the
Master Servicer and the Provider. The Master Servicer shall produce
discrepancy reports (e.g., "Funding Only" or "Out of Balance" reports) and
the Provider shall respond promptly to such reports.
10. Once the reconciliation process has been completed and any discrepancies
between the Master Servicer and the Provider's Receivable files resolved
through the discrepancy report process described in paragraph 9 above, the
Master Servicer will then process the Receivable file and advise the
Purchaser that it may purchase any new Receivable that is eligible. The
Master Servicer will then proceed through exactly the same process
described in paragraph 6 above.

As [special local] counsel to PHYSICIANS CLINICAL LABORATORY, INC.,
a [Delaware] corporation (the "Provider"), we have examined the following in
connection with the proposed sale by the Provider of certain healthcare
receivables (the "Receivables") to BIO-CYPHER FUNDING CORP. (the "Purchaser")
and the assignment of those Receivables by the Purchaser to DAIWA HEALTHCO-2 LLC
("DH-2"):
(a) A copy of the Healthcare Receivables Purchase and Transfer
Agreement (the "RPA") between the Provider and the Purchaser (terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided in the RPA);

(e) Such other documents, statutes, regulations and materials
as we have deemed necessary to deliver the opinion set forth herein.
This opinion is being delivered pursuant to clause 1(i) of the
conditions precedent listed on Exhibit II of the RPA.
Based upon the foregoing examination, we are of the opinion that the

diagnosis to the Purchaser, DH-2, any third-party servicer acting for the

Master Servicer), and any person guarantying such servicer's obligations.
[In order to disclose or release the full complement of information
regarding medical products sold to a Person in [name of locale], the Provider
should obtain a consent form in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "New
Consent Form") from each new and existing customer. Subject to the proper
completion and execution of such New Consent Form by each customer, we are of
the opinion that the New Consent Form is sufficient to permit the lawful
disclosure or release of medical information and documents to the Purchaser,
DH-2, any third-party servicer acting for the Purchaser or DH-2 pursuant to the
RPA or LSA (whether such servicer is performing the Primary Servicer
Responsibilities or providing data processing services with respect to the
Receivables, and including without limitation the Master Servicer), and any
person guarantying such servicer's obligations.]

[Date]
Daiwa Healthco-2 LLC

Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special bankruptcy counsel to Physicians Clinical
Laboratory, Inc. (the "Provider") in connection with the execution thereby of
the Healthcare Receivables Purchase and Transfer Agreement (the "RPTA") dated as
of _______ __, 1997 between the Provider and Bio-Cypher Funding Corp. ("PCL"),
providing for purchases and transfers of receivables from the Provider to PCL.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings
given to such terms in the RPTA.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or
certified copies of the following documents (hereinafter collectively referred
to as the "Documents"), each executed by each of the parties thereto:
(i) the RPTA;
(ii) the Loan Agreement:
(iii) the Confirmation Order (including any exhibits thereto)
entered on [April 18, 1997] by the Bankruptcy Court; and
(iv) the Plan (including any exhibits thereto).
The agreements referred to in (i) and (ii) above are referred to
herein as, collectively, the "Subject Agreements." We have also examined the
original or certified copies of such corporate records, agreements and
instruments of the Provider, certificates of public officials and of officers of
the Obligors, and such other documents and records, and such matters of law, as
we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.
In making such examination, we have assumed:
(i) the genuineness of all signatures;
XI-C-1
66
(ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals and the conformity with the originals of all
documents submitted to us as copies;
(iii) that each of the parties to the Documents (other than
the Provider) has the power to enter into and perform
each of its respective obligations thereunder; and
(iv) the due authorization, execution and delivery of each of
the Documents by each of the parties thereto.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Confirmation Order has been entered, is in full force and
effect in accordance with its terms and no order has been entered (and remains
in effect) in the Court or any other court having jurisdiction amending,
staying, vacating or rescinding the Confirmation Order. No appeal or petition
for certiorari is pending with respect to the Confirmation Order and the
Confirmation Order is not subject to further appeal or petition for writ or
certiorari. There exists no application, judgment, order, injunction or other
restraint issued or filed under the Bankruptcy Code with the Bankruptcy Court
having jurisdiction over the bankruptcy proceedings which prohibits the sale or
contribution of receivables by or extensions of credit to the Provider or any of
its subsidiaries under the RPTA or the consummation by the Provider or any of
its subsidiaries of the transactions contemplated by the RPTA, the Loan
Agreement, and the other documents delivered in connection therewith.
2. The Effective Date (as defined in the Plan) has occurred and the
transactions contemplated by the Plan have been substantially consummated in
accordance with the terms of the Plan as so confirmed and the Confirmation
Order.
3. No other authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no filings
or registrations with, any governmental or regulatory authority or agency are
necessary under the Bankruptcy Code for the execution, delivery or performance
by the Provider of the Documents to which it is a party or for the validity or
enforceability thereof or with respect to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Documents.
4. Except for the resolution of disputed claims arising out of the
Chapter 11 Cases or as set forth on Schedule __ hereto, no action, claim or
proceeding is now pending or threatened against the Borrower or any of its
subsidiaries, at law, in equity or otherwise, before any court, board,
commission, agency or instrumentality of any federal, state, or local government
or of any agency or subdivision thereof, or before any arbitrator or panel of
arbitrators, which, if determined adversely, could have a Material Adverse
Effect. None of the foregoing actions, claims or proceedings questions the
validity of any of the Subject Agreements or any action taken or to be taken
pursuant thereto.
XI-C-2
67
5. The Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the commitment
extension letter and the payment of certain fees set forth in the commitment
extension letter to the Program Manager and such order has become a Final Order.
6. No "Old Common Stock" and no "Old Subordinated Debentures" (each
as defined in the Plan) remain outstanding.
Our opinions expressed above are limited, except to the extent
otherwise expressly stated herein, to the laws of the States of New York,
California, and Illinois, the Federal laws of the United States of America and
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
