RECITALS
--------
A. Medcross, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company"), owns all of the
issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of each of the Debtors. The
Company and the Secured Party have entered into a Loan Agreement dated as of
even date herewith (as the same may be extended, amended, restated or modified
from time to time, the "Loan Agreement"), which is hereby incorporated herein by
this reference, pursuant to which the Secured Party has agreed to loan to the
Company up to $2,000,000 on a term loan basis. All capitalized terms used herein
and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms
in the Loan Agreement. The proceeds of the Loan will be provided to the Debtors
for the acquisition of assets, for capital expenditures and for working capital
purposes.
B. The Debtors have guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the
Loan Agreement and the Note pursuant to the terms of a Subsidiary Guaranty of
even date herewith (the "Guaranty"). It is a condition precedent to the
extensions of credit to the Company under the Loan Agreement that the Debtors,
among other things, shall have executed and delivered this Security Agreement.
C. The Company and the Debtors share an identity of interests as members
of a consolidated group of companies engaged in substantially similar
businesses. The Company provides certain centralized financial, accounting and
management services to the Debtors. and the making of the Loan will facilitate
the expansion and enhance the overall financial strength and stability of the
Company's corporate group, including the Debtors. Accordingly, the Debtors will
derive substantial benefits as a result of the extensions of credit to the
Company under the Loan Agreement, which benefits are hereby acknowledged by the
Debtors, and the Debtors, therefore, desire to enter into this Security
Agreement in order to satisfy the condition precedent described in the preceding
paragraph.

3. AUTHORITY TO COLLECT. Except as otherwise hereinafter set forth,
--------------------
unless and until the occurrence of an event which constitutes an Event of
Default hereunder or which upon the giving (or receiving) of notice or the lapse
of time or both would constitute such an Event of Default, FTI and I-Link shall
continue to collect, and upon the occurrence of such an event, FTI and I-Link
may, at the direction of the Lender, continue to collect, at their own expense,
all amounts due and to become due under any accounts, chattel paper, instruments
or general intangibles and in connection therewith may take such action as they
may deem necessary, advisable, convenient or proper for the enforcement,
collection, adjustment, settlement or compromise thereof.
4. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The term "Event of Default" shall have the
-----------------
meaning assigned to it in the Loan Agreement.
5. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
--------
Secured Party shall have the right to declare immediately due and payable all of
the Obligations, as provided in the Loan Agreement, without other notice or
demand, and to terminate any commitments to make loans or otherwise extend
credit to the Company. The Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies
of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and all other rights,
privileges, powers and remedies provided by law or equity.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the occurrence
of an Event of Default:
-4-
(a) the Secured Party shall have the power to notify the account
debtor or debtors obligated under any accounts, chattel paper, instruments and
general intangibles of the assignment of such accounts, chattel paper, and
general intangibles to the Secured Party and of its security interest therein
and to direct such account debtor or debtors to make payment of all amounts due
or to become due to FTI or I-Link thereunder directly to the Secured Party and,
upon such notification to the account debtor or debtors, to enforce collection
of any thereof in the same manner and to the same extent as FTI or I-Link might
have done. The funds so collected shall be held as security for the payment of
the Obligations secured hereby and applied in the manner provided in Section 8
hereof.
FTI and I-Link hereby constitute and appoint the Secured Party as
their true and lawful attorney, in the place and stead of FTI and I-Link and
with full power of substitution, either in the Secured Party's own name or in
the name of FTI or I-Link, to ask for, demand, collect, receive and give
acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due under and by virtue of
any account, chattel paper, instruments and general intangibles, to endorse
checks, drafts, orders and other instruments for the repayment of monies payable
to FTI or I-Link on account thereof, and to settle, compromise, prosecute or
defend any action, claim or proceeding with respect thereto and to sell, assign,
pledge, transfer and make any agreement respecting, or otherwise deal with, the
same; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as
requiring or obligating the Secured Party to make any demand, or to make any
inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or to
present or file any claim or notice or to take any action with respect to any
account, chattel paper, instruments or general intangible or the monies due or
to become due thereunder or the property covered thereby, and no action taken or
omitted to be taken by the Secured Party with respect to any account, chattel
paper, instruments or general intangible shall give rise to any defense,
counterclaim or set off in favor of FTI or I-Link or to any claim or action
against the Secured Party;
(b) FTI and I-Link will deliver to the Secured Party from time to
time, as requested by the Secured Party, current lists of the Collateral;
(c) Neither FTI nor I-Link will dispose of the Collateral, except on
terms approved in writing by the Secured Party;
(d) FTI and I-Link will collect, assemble and deliver all of the
Collateral and books and records pertaining thereto, to the Secured Party at a
reasonably convenient place designated by the Secured Party; and
(e) the Secured Party may, to the extent permitted by law, enter onto
FTI's or I-Link's premises and take possession of the Collateral, and assign,
sell, lease or otherwise dispose of FTI's or I-Link's interests in the
Collateral for the account of FTI or I-Link and FTI and I-Link shall then be
liable for the difference between the payments and other
-5-
amounts due under the Loan Agreement and amounts received pursuant to such
assignment or contract of sale or lease or other disposition of FTI's or I-
Link's interests in the Collateral and the amount of such difference shall then
be immediately due and payable. The Secured Party may, in its sole discretion,
designate a custodian or agent to take physical possession of the Collateral.
The Secured Party shall give FTI and I-Link reasonable notice of the time and
place of any public sale of the Collateral or the time after which any private
sale or other intended disposition thereof is to be made. The requirement of
reasonable notice shall be met if notice of the sale or other intended
disposition is mailed, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to FTI or I-Link at
their respective addresses set forth in Section 16 hereof or such other address
as FTI or I-Link may by notice have furnished the Secured Party in writing for
such purpose, at least fifteen days prior to the time of such sale or other
intended disposition.
Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold
absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of FTI or I-Link, and FTI
and I-Link hereby waive (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of
redemption, stay and/or appraisal which they now have or may at any time in the
future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
