event being a "default"), the Pledgor may use or consume in the ordinary course
of its business any such collections on the Accounts in any lawful manner not
inconsistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lender,
however, may after an Event of Default shall occur or during the continuance of
a default and upon notice to the Pledgor revoke such power and authority and in
any event shall have the authority and right to notify any parties obligated on
any of the Accounts to make payment to the Lender of any amounts due or to

time require, (c) at all reasonable times, and without hindrance or delay,

change its name, dissolve, merge, or consolidate with any other person. The
Pledgor warrants that the address of the Pledgor's chief executive office and
the address of each other place of business of the Pledgor are as specified

10. Specific Assignments. Promptly upon request by the Lender,
the Pledgor will execute and deliver to the Lender written assignments,
endorsements, and/or schedules, in form and content satisfactory to the Lender,

other applicable law.
12. Collateral Account.
(a) Subject to the exercise by Fidelity of its rights and
remedies under the Fidelity Agreement referred to in Section 20 hereof, the
Pledgor will, upon the request of the Lender at any time and from time to time
both prior to and after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, deposit
or cause to be deposited to a bank account designated by the Lender and from
which the Lender alone has power of access and withdrawal (collectively, the
"Collateral Account") all checks, drafts, cash, and other remittances in payment
or on account of payment of the Accounts, and the cash proceeds of any returned
goods, the sale or lease of which gave rise to an Account and, when permitted by
the paying companies (including without limitation, Medicaid and Mutual of Omaha
Medicare payment [EDS-Title XVIII]) all such payments therefrom (all of the
foregoing herein collectively referred to as "Items of Payment"). The Pledgor
shall deposit the Items of Payment for credit to the Collateral Account within
two (2) business days of the receipt thereof, and in precisely the form
received, except for the endorsement of the Pledgor where necessary to permit
the collection of the Items of Payment, which endorsement the Pledgor hereby
agrees to make. Pending such deposit, the Pledgor will not commingle any of the
Items of Payment with any of its other funds or property but will hold them
separate and apart. The Lender may at any time and from time to time apply the
whole or any part of the collected funds credited to the Collateral Account
against the Pledgor's Liabilities.
(b) So long as Lender, in its discretion, so desires,
Pledgor shall establish and maintain a blocked account in Lender's name with a
bank satisfactory to Lender (the "Collecting Bank") to which Pledgor will
immediately deposit all payments from account debtors in the identical form in
which such payment was made, whether by cash or check.
(c) The Collecting Bank shall acknowledge and agree, in a
manner satisfactory to Lender, that all payments made to such blocked account
are the sole and exclusive property of the Lender, that the Collecting Bank has
no right of set off against such blocked account, and that the Collecting Bank
will wire or otherwise transfer in immediately available funds, in a manner
satisfactory to Lender, funds deposited in such blocked account to Lender on a
daily basis as soon as such funds are collected. Pledgor hereby agrees that all
payments made to such blocked account or otherwise received by Lender, whether
on Accounts or as proceeds of the Collateral or otherwise, will be the sole and
exclusive property of Lender and will be applied on account of the Obligations.
With respect to any payment relating to or proceeds of any Accounts or the
Collateral which come into its possession or under its control, Pledgor and any
affiliates, subsidiaries, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents
or persons acting for or in concert with Pledgor shall receive any such item, as
trustee for Lender, as sole and exclusive property of Lender, and immediately
upon receipt thereof, Pledgor shall remit the same or cause the same to be
remitted in kind, to
5.
6
Lender, at Lender's address set forth herein. Pledgor agrees to pay to Lender
any and all fees, costs, expenses which Lender incurs in connection with
obtaining and maintaining the blocked account and depositing for collection by
Lender any check or item of payment received or delivered to the Collecting Bank
or the Lender, and Pledgor further agrees to reimburse, indemnify and hold
harmless Lender from any claims asserted by the Collecting Bank in connection
with the blocked account or any returned or uncollected checks received by the
Collecting Bank as proceeds of the Collateral.

any time and from time to time both prior to and after the occurrence of an
Event of Default hereunder (a) notify the account debtors obligated on any of

the Pledgor or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Lender, but at the cost
and expense of the Pledgor and without notice to the Pledgor. The Pledgor will

Lender may see fit. Lender is hereby granted a license or other right to use,
without charge, Pledgor's labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any

proposed action, shall constitute commercially reasonable and fair notice
thereof to Pledgor.

not been cured, the rate of interest accruing on the indebtedness evidenced by
the Note shall, at Lender's option, be increased to a default rate of interest
provided in the Note.
17. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of the
Lender as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity of by statute or otherwise shall be
cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power,
or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the
exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Lender or any one or more of such
rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later
exercise by the Lender of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.
18. Waiver. No failure or delay by the Lender to insist upon
the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant, or agreement of this
Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, or to exercise any right, power, or
remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such
term, condition, covenant, or agreement or of any such breach, or such term,
condition, covenant, or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude the Lender
from exercising any such right, power, or remedy at any later time or times. By
accepting payment after the due date of any of the Pledgor's Liabilities, the
Lender shall not be deemed to have waived the right either to require payment
when due of all other Pledgor's Liabilities or to declare an Event of Default
for failure to effect such payment of
9.
10
any such other Pledgor's Liabilities. The Pledgor waives presentment, notice of
dishonor, and notice of non-payment with respect to Accounts.
19. Miscellaneous. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not
limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. Neither this Agreement nor
any term, condition, covenant, or agreement hereof may be changed, waived,
discharged, or terminated orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by
the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge, or
termination is sought. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State
of New York and shall be binding upon the Pledgor and its heirs, executors,
administrators, legal representatives, successors, and assigns, and shall inure
to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns. As used herein, the
singular number shall include the plural, the plural the singular, and the use
of the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall include all genders, as the
context may require, and the term "person" shall include an individual, a
corporation, an association, a partnership, a trust, and an organization.
Invalidation of any one or more of the provisions of their Agreement shall in no
way affect any of the other provisions hereof, which shall remain in full force
and effect. All references herein to any document, instrument, or agreement
shall be deemed to refer to such document, instrument, or agreement as the same
may be amended, modified, restated, supplemented, or replaced from time to time.
Unless varied by this Agreement, all terms used herein which are defined by the
Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York shall have the same meanings
hereunder an assigned to them by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New
York.
20. Senior Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement and the security interest
created hereby shall be junior to the security interest in favor of Fidelity
National Bank ("Fidelity") pursuant to that certain Security Agreement dated as
of December 30, 1994, as such agreement has been and may be amended from time to
time (the "Fidelity Agreement"). To the extent that there is any inconsistency
between the exercise of the Lender's rights and remedies provided for herein and
the exercise by Fidelity of its rights and remedies pursuant to the Fidelity
Agreement, the exercise of the Lender's rights and remedies provided for herein
shall be subordinate to any exercise by Fidelity of its rights and remedies
pursuant to the Fidelity Agreement. The Pledgor represents and warrants that
Fidelity has consented to this Agreement and the security interest created
hereby.
