Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in or

or the existence of any present or future filing of financing statements under
the Uniform Commercial Code, or other law of any jurisdiction which is
applicable, or other filings or recordings under any other law of any
jurisdiction which is applicable or in which such filing or recording has been

liens and security interests of the Landlord.
SECTION 3.3 ASSIGNMENT OF COLLATERAL.
Upon payment or other satisfaction in full of all obligations
secured by any collateral now or hereafter in the possession of any party
hereto, the then holder thereof will assign and deliver to the other parties
hereto holding a security interest in such collateral, as directed in writing by
such other parties, without representation, warranty, or recourse of any kind,
all such collateral then in the possession of such holder, and
6
in so doing, such holder shall thereupon be discharged from further
responsibility with respect thereto. So long as any obligations secured by any
collateral remain unpaid to the holder of such collateral, including, without
limitation, a holder to which any such obligations shall have been assigned,
such holder may, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at all times in
its sole discretion exercise any and all powers and rights which it now has or
may hereafter acquire with respect thereto, without the necessity of obtaining
any approval of any of the other parties hereto; nor shall such holder of any
collateral have any liability for any action taken or failure to act with
respect to any of such collateral held by it beyond the exercise of reasonable
care to assure the safe custody thereof.
ARTICLE 4. PAYMENTS
SECTION 4.1 PHYSICIAN AS TRUSTEE.
If Physician shall receive any payment or distribution out of
any of the assets of UASC or UCS, whether or not arising out of or as a result
of any event described in SECTION 4.2 or any action or right of remedy exercised
pursuant to SECTION 5.2.2 of this Agreement, and such payment or distribution or
the retention thereof by the Physician is not in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement, then Physician shall hold such payment or distribution in
trust as trustee of an express trust, for the benefit of the Landlord, shall not
commingle such payment or distribution with its other assets, and shall promptly
take all action necessary to cause such payment or distribution to be allocated
or paid in accordance with this Agreement.
SECTION 4.2 PERMISSIBLE PAYMENTS OF SUBORDINATED CLAIMS.
For as long as the Leases are in effect and thereafter until
all Lease Obligations and Lease Claims have been paid in full in cash and/or
otherwise performed and discharged, UASC and UCS will not make or permit to be
made, and the Physician will not demand, accept, receive or retain, any payment
or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property, securities
or otherwise, on account or in respect of any Subordinated Obligation or
Subordinated Claim, except that:
4.2.1 Any payments of regularly scheduled installments or
any other payments required under the Subordinated Obligations, may be
paid if (and only if) at the time of such payment no Rent is due and
payable to Landlord and all Lease Obligations and Lease Claims then
currently due and owing have been paid in full in cash by UASC and UCS,
as Tenants respectively, or if such Lease Obligations and Lease Claims
do not require the payment of cash, such Obligations and Claims have
been discharged by UASC and UCS, as Tenants respectively, as
applicable, and no Default Notice (as herein defined) has been received
by UASC and UCS or the Physician. Any payments made to Physician that
do not meet the requirements of the first sentence of this paragraph
shall be held by Physician in trust for the benefit of Landlord and
promptly forwarded to Landlord for application to the Lease Obligations
and Lease Claims.
4.2.2 No such payment may be made at any time when any
Bankruptcy, Insolvency, or Liquidation Proceeding against UCS, UASC or
any party to the Collateral Agreements is pending. No such payment
shall be made that renders UASC or UCS insolvent or unable to meet its
Lease Obligations or pay the Lease Claims in cash as they become due.
SECTION 4.3 PREPAYMENTS TO PHYSICIAN.
Physician will give Landlord written notice of (a) any
prepayment of a regularly scheduled payment; or, (b) receipt of any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property, securities or
otherwise made by UASC or UCS, respectively, in violation of SECTION 4.2, on the
Subordinated Obligations or Subordinated Claims or otherwise to Physician, on
the Subordinated Obligations or Subordinated Claims or otherwise to Physician,
and, within twenty (20) Business Days after such notice is given, Landlord will
notify Physician as to whether such prepayment will be held by Physician in
trust for the benefit of Landlord and promptly forwarded to Landlord for
application to the Lease Obligations and Lease
7
Claims. If Landlord fails to notify Physician that such prepayment is to be held
in trust by the Physician and forwarded to the Landlord as set for in the
preceding sentence, within such twenty (20) Business Day period, then such
prepayment shall be deemed to be a permitted payment, and shall be retained by
Physician for its own account.
SECTION 4.4 INSURANCE PROCEEDS.
With respect to the collection of any proceeds of any policy
of insurance covering any collateral, or any part thereof, the proceeds of which
are assigned to Landlord and/or Physician as additional collateral to secure the
obligations of UASC and UCS, as Tenants respectively, under the Lease
Obligations or the Subordinated Obligations, the Landlord and Physician shall
join in any instructions to the insurance companies involved so that the
proceeds of such insurance shall be payable in full to Landlord and then, to the
extent of any excess, to Physician or any of the parties to the Collateral
Agreements as their interest may appear.
ARTICLE 5. DEFAULT
SECTION 5.1 DEFAULT NOTICE AND PAYMENT BLOCKAGE.
Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default
(under and as defined in the Leases, or the Collateral Agreements or this
Agreement), and upon a declaration of an Event of Default by the Landlord with
written notice specifying the nature thereof (the "Default Notice") to the
Physician, then unless and until said Event of Default shall be cured or waived
to the sole satisfaction of the Landlord, with written notice of such waiver or
cure to be given to the Physician, (a) Landlord shall be entitled to thereafter
receive payment and performance in full of all Lease Obligations and Lease
Claims before Physician shall be entitled to receive any payment upon the
Subordinated Obligations or otherwise, and (b) after all Lease Obligations have
been paid in full and performed and discharged in full, Physician shall be
entitled to receive full payment on the Subordinated Obligations.

demand, accelerate, bring suit to collect or otherwise exercise or enforce any
right or remedy in respect of any Subordinated Claim or commence or prosecute
any action or proceeding thereon, (b) commence any Bankruptcy, Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding or join with any creditor in commencing any Bankruptcy,
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, or appear in any Bankruptcy, Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding commenced by any other creditor in support of the
commencement or continuation thereof, or (c) otherwise exercise or enforce any
right or remedy in respect of any Subordinated Claim, including any right or
remedy that otherwise might be available to it in any Bankruptcy, Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding, unless:
5.2.1 The Landlord has received written notice thereof,
stating the action to be taken and the grounds therefor, and at least
180 days have elapsed since the date such written notice was received
by the Landlord.
5.2.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this

the Physician with full power of substitution, either to file such claim or
proof thereof in the name of the Physician or, at the option of Landlord, to

rights of subrogation accorded by law in respect of any payment or distribution
on account of any Subordinated Claim that is applied to the payment of any Lease
Claim pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. For such purposes:

(including all Post-Petition Claims) have been performed and discharged
in full and paid in full in cash.

shall have any duty to the Physician to ensure, perfect, protect,
enforce or maintain any right of subrogation that might otherwise be

subordination provided herein and the rights of the holders of Lease
Claims hereunder shall remain fully enforceable on the terms set forth
herein, regardless of any act, omission or circumstance (whether or not
attributable to any holder of any Lease Claim and whether or not
wrongful) which does or might in any manner or in any respect destroy,
limit, reduce, affect or impair any right of subrogation otherwise
accorded or available to or enforceable by the Physician. Each holder
of any Lease Obligations or Lease Claim shall remain utterly free to
take or fail to take any and all actions in respect of any Lease
Obligation or Lease Claim or any person or entity liable therefor or
any collateral security therefor (including each and all of the acts,
omissions and matters described in SECTION 7.2), without exonerating
the Physician, even if any right of subrogation is destroyed, limited,
reduced, affected or impaired thereby.
6.7.4 The subordination provided herein and the rights of
the holders of Lease Obligations
10
and Lease Claims hereunder shall be fully enforceable as to all Lease
Obligations and Lease Claims which are not allowed, allowable or
enforceable in such Bankruptcy, Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding
(including Post-Petition Claims), even if and even though no right of
subrogation is available in respect of such Lease Obligations and Lease
Claims.

account of any Subordinated Claim applied to the performance, discharge
or payment of a Lease Obligation or Lease Claim shall, as between the
UASC and UCS, respectively and the Physician and to the extent of the

shall remain obligated to pay such Lease Obligation and Lease Claim in
full despite any such application.

any act or failure to act on the part of UASC, UCS or any party to the
Collateral Agreements or by any act or failure to act on the part of the
Landlord or any holder of Lease Obligations and Lease Claims or by any breach or

right arising under this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements, no change,
impairment, or suspension of any right or remedy of any holder of any Lease
Obligation or Lease Claim, and no other act, failure to act, circumstance,
occurrence or event which, but for this provision, would or could act as a

any way affect, decrease, diminish or impair any of the obligations of the
Physician under this Agreement or give the Physician or any other person or
entity any recourse or defense against any holder of a Lease Obligation or Lease
Claim in respect of any right arising under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 13. MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 13.1 SPECIFIC ENFORCEMENT.
UASC, UCS and the Physician acknowledge and agree that an
action for money damages is not an adequate remedy for enforcement of this
Agreement and, accordingly, agree that each and all of the obligations arising
hereunder may, at the option of the Landlord, be enforced by an action for
specific performance or other lawful specific or injunctive relief.
SECTION 13.2 POWERS AND AUTHORITIES IRREVOCABLE; NO DUTY.
All rights, powers and authorities herein granted to the
Landlord are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until Discharge of the
Lease Obligations and Lease Claims and all outstanding Lease Obligations or
Lease Claims have been performed, discharged and paid in full in cash. Such
rights, powers and authorities may be freely exercised by Landlord, or not
exercised by it, in each instance as it may see fit given its own individual
interest as a holder of a Lease Obligation or Lease Claim, without any duty of
care, duty of loyalty or other duty whatsoever to the Physician.
SECTION 13.3 ENFORCEABILITY.
This Agreement (a) shall be binding upon and enforceable
against UASC, UCS and their respective successors and assigns and the Physician
and each and all of his successors and assigns whether such holder of a
Subordinated Obligation or Subordinated Claims holds such Subordinated Claim or
Subordinated Obligation as a lien holder, secured party or otherwise, (b) may be
jointly or separately enforced in any lawful manner against any one or more or
all of the persons and entities bound hereby, without any requirement that other
Claims or persons or entities bound hereby be joined (and no single or partial
exercise or enforcement of any right hereunder shall preclude any other or
further exercise or enforcement thereof), and (c) shall inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by Landlord, its successors and assigns and transferees and
each other present and future holder of any Lease Obligation or Lease Claim.
Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to assign this
Agreement to any Lender of Landlord with respect to the Leases and the Physician
hereby agrees to provide such estoppel certificates to such Lender as may be
required and necessary with respect to the right of the Lender to the benefits
of this Agreement.
SECTION 13.4 COMPLETE AGREEMENT; INCONSISTENCY; MODIFICATION; WAIVER.
This Agreement, the Leases, and the Collateral Agreements set
forth definitely and exhaustively the complete agreement of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof. No provision hereof and no right arising
hereunder may be modified or waived by any oral agreement or shall be deemed to
have been modified or waived by any act or failure to act or shall otherwise be
affected or changed, except as and to the extent expressly set forth in a
writing signed by the party to be bound thereby.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Tennessee. Each of UASC, UCS and the
Physician hereby (a) irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
courts of the County of Davidson in the State of Tennessee or the courts of the
United States for the Middle District of Tennessee in respect of any action or
proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for the
enforcement of any right hereunder, (b) waives any objection which it may have
at any time to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such

inconvenient forum, and further waives the right to object that such court does
not have jurisdiction over such party, and (c) agrees that process in any such
action or proceeding may be served upon it, and shall be sufficiently served
upon it, by mail to its address set out on the signature pages hereof; without
limiting the right of any person or entity to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law.

any right hereunder.
SECTION 13.8 CONTINUING AND IRREVOCABLE AGREEMENT; ACCEPTANCE.
This Agreement is a continuing and irrevocable agreement
enforceable against each signatory party hereto by Landlord and each other
present and future holder of any Lease Obligation or Lease Claim. Notice of
acceptance hereof by Landlord or any such holder is hereby waived, and reliance
hereon by each of them is hereby unconditionally and conclusively acknowledged.
