"NOTE"), convertible into shares of the common stock of the Company (the "COMMON
Stock"), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants set
forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
AUTHORIZATION; ISSUANCE OF NOTE
1.1 AUTHORIZATION AND ISSUANCE OF NOTE. The Company has authorized the

contained herein, and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and
agreements contained herein, shall issue to Purchaser, pursuant to this
Agreement, the Note, in the original face amount of $500,000 in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, which is presently convertible into up to
160,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "SHARES"), which Shares
represent approximately 88.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis. The Company has previously
delivered to Purchaser copies of the Company's current Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws. The Note shall be secured by a first lien (which may be subordinated
to Company's working capital lender) against all of the assets of the Company
now or hereafter acquired pursuant to a security agreement in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B.
1.2 NOTE ADVANCES. Until demand for repayment by Purchaser or full
conversion of the Note, the Company may borrow, by means of advances by
Purchaser in accordance with, and for purposes described in, Section 1.2.1
(amounts borrowed hereunder are referred to, singly or collectively, as an
"ADVANCE" or as "ADVANCES"); provided, however, that the aggregate principal
amount of Advances outstanding at any time under this Agreement shall never
exceed $500,000 unless the Note is amended and restated to provide a higher
amount as described in Section 1.2.4 (the "COMMITMENT LIMIT"); provided,
further, that the Note (including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon) must
be repaid in full no later than, and the commitment expires automatically on,
the earlier to occur if (a) demand for full repayment by Purchaser or (b)
conversion in full of the Note.
1.2.1 ADVANCES. An initial Advance of $75,000 shall be made by
Purchaser to the Company immediately following execution of this Agreement, the
Note and the Security Agreement by the parties. A second Advance of $50,000
shall be made by Purchaser to the Company on November 1, 2004. These two
Advances may be used for general corporate purposes, including payment of
executive compensation. Additional Advances of up to $375,000 may be used to pay
transaction costs in connection with the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transaction (as defined in
Section 3.22) which is presently contemplated to close on November 30, 2004.
Within 60 days after the closing or termination of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transaction, if
less than $375,000 in Advances has been made to pay the transaction costs, the
balance of the $375,000 shall be paid over to the Company as an Advance to be
used for general corporate purposes. Payment of the transaction costs shall be
made by Purchaser directly to the third party obligee by Purchaser upon receipt
from Company of substantiating documentation for such fees and costs, and each
such payment shall constitute an Advance.
1.2.2 CONDITION TO ADVANCES. It shall be a condition to any Advance
that the Company shall have renegotiated the employment agreements of ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, in accordance with the Employment Side
Bar Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit C.
1.2.3 NOTATIONS OF ADVANCES. Upon making each Advance, and upon
receipt of each payment of principal on an Advance, Purchaser (or the holder of
the Note) shall, and is hereby authorized to, make a notation on a schedule
attached to the Note of the amount and date of the Advance or payment, and the
aggregate unpaid principal balance shown on the schedule shall be presumed to be
correct in the absence of manifest error. Purchaser's (or the holder's) failure
to make the correct notation with respect to an Advance or with respect to any
payment of principal shall not limit or otherwise affect the Company's
obligations hereunder and under the Note to repay the Advance actually
outstanding. Purchaser's (or the holder's) failure to make the correct notation
shall not impair or otherwise affect such payment or Purchaser's (or the
holder's) rights and remedies to collect the Advance or the payment actually
outstanding, nor shall it impair Purchaser's rights to withhold Advances to the
extent that the Commitment Limit would be exceeded.
1.2.4 FURTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM PURCHASER. As a material
inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to
provide the following assistance to Company without which Company would be
unable to close the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transaction:
(a) Purchaser may assist Company with the payment of necessary
transactional costs incurred in connection with the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transaction (as
defined in Section 3.22) including fees necessary to secure financing in
connection with the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transaction, which transaction costs and fees
cannot be otherwise paid by the Company. The parties shall use their best
efforts to negotiate and reduce the amount of such fees and costs. To the
extent that such fees and costs exceed the $375,000 referred to in Section
1.2.1, Purchaser may elect to, in his reasonable discretion, advance
additional funds provided, however, before any payment by Purchaser, the
Company shall amend and restate the Note to reflect the increased
principal amount and to provide that all such payments of fees and costs
by Purchaser on the Company's behalf for this purpose shall constitute
additional Advances and shall either, at Purchaser's election to be made
within five days after the closing or termination of the ▇▇▇▇▇
Transaction, (i) be repaid by the Company so that the outstanding
principal balance of the amended and restated Note is reduced to $500,000
or (ii) remain outstanding under the amended and restated Note, in which
case a portion of the outstanding balance will be available for conversion
into additional shares of Common Stock not to exceed an additional
10,000,000 shares on the same terms and at the same conversion price as
the Shares.
-2-
(b) Purchaser shall loan the $10,000,000 ("TEN MILLION DOLLAR
LOAN") to be used solely as the good faith deposit for the ▇▇▇▇▇
Transaction. The Ten Million Dollar Loan may, at Purchaser's election, be
made by a transfer of funds directly to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Escrow for the Company's
benefit. The Ten Million Dollar Loan shall be made on the following terms
and conditions: The Ten Million Loan shall be (i) due and payable upon the
earlier of the closing of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transaction or the termination, for
any reason, of the purchase agreement relating to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transaction,
(ii) secured by a lien against all of the Company's assets pari passu with
the first lien of the Note and subject to possible subordination as
described in Section 1.1; (iii) bear interest at the rate of 7.25% per
annum; and (iv) otherwise be in the form of Exhibit E, attached hereto and
made a part hereof. If the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transaction fails to close, the Company
shall assign its rights to Purchaser to proceed against ▇▇▇▇▇ with regard
to recovery of the good faith deposit without Purchaser waiving or
releasing any rights against the Company. Any refund of the good faith
deposit shall be paid directly to Purchaser.
(c) In consideration of the Company's commitments under
Section 1.4, Purchaser shall provide ▇▇▇▇▇ Healthcare Corporation (or its
affiliate) a personal guaranty for ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ post closing liability on the
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Hospital lease (not to exceed $10,000,000).
(d) The Company represents to Purchaser that it will not
require or request Purchaser's personal guaranty with respect to any
financing the Company shall seek with respect to the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transaction.
1.3 PURCHASER'S OPTION TO PURCHASE REAL ESTATE. In order to induce
Purchaser to enter into the foregoing transaction to provide the financial
support as set forth above, the Company grants an option to Purchaser (or his
assignee or designee) to acquire all of the real estate which the Company will
acquire in the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transaction (i.e. Western Medical Center - Santa ▇▇▇,
Western Medical Center - Anaheim and Coastal Community Hospital) for the price
of $5,000,000. The Company agrees to deliver title to the property free and
clear of all liens of all liens and encumbrances except only those exceptions to
title agreed to in the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transaction and the real estate loan the Company
will incur in connection with the closing of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transaction. The Company
and Purchaser agree to cooperate in negotiating with Company's lenders to
organize the financing in a manner which permits Purchaser to exercise the
option and acquire the real property subject to the real estate loan while the
Company will remain liable for the working capital loan. Purchaser may exercise
the option to acquire the property at any time commencing with the closing of
the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transaction and for a period of five years thereafter. The option
shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.
Purchaser may exercise the option and pay the purchase price by offsetting
Purchaser's purchase price obligation against any obligations due and owing by
the Company to Purchaser including those under the Note or the Ten Million
Dollar Note. Upon the exercise of the option, Purchaser agrees to lease the real
property back to the Company on a triple net lease at a fair market value rental
which shall not be less than a 2.5% margin over the financing cost paid by
Purchaser. The term of the lease shall be 15 years, with two 5-year renewal
options.
-3-
1.4 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. In consideration of Purchaser's agreement to personally
guaranty ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ post-closing liabilities with respect to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Hospital
lease at the closing of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transaction, the Company shall assign,
transfer and deliver to Purchaser all of its right, title and interest in the
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Hospital lease and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Hospital operating assets. Purchaser and
the Company shall cooperate in processing licensure applications in Purchaser's
name (or that of his affiliate) pre-closing. Purchaser agrees to cause ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Hospital to contract with the Company to provide management services at the
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Hospital to the extent permitted by law on customary terms and at fair
market value.
1.5 PURCHASER'S RIGHT TO PROCEED TO CLOSE FOR HIS OWN ACCOUNT. If the
Company is unable, for any reason, to obtain financing without the lender
requiring Purchaser's personal guaranty(other than the personal guaranty for the
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Hospital Lease, as required to be given under Section 1.2.4(c) above),
Purchaser may elect to proceed to obtain his own financing and close the ▇▇▇▇▇
Transaction without the Company's participation. In such event, all of the
assets to be acquired in the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transaction shall then be acquired by
Purchaser from ▇▇▇▇▇ and the Company shall waive and release any claim against
Purchaser and any right to the ▇▇▇▇▇ assets, and (ii) in consideration of the
Company's efforts in pursuing the ▇▇▇▇▇ transaction, Purchaser shall reduce his
conversion right to a maximum of Sixty Million (60,000,000) shares.
1.6 FAILURE TO CLOSE ▇▇▇▇▇ TRANSACTION. If, the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transaction fails to
close, Purchaser agrees that he shall not exercise his right to convert the Note
into Shares for a period 30 days within which Company shall have the opportunity
to repay all Advances made under the Note together with accrued interest thereby
fully satisfying the Note obligation and thus causing Purchaser's right of
conversion to lapse. This shall be the only circumstance under which the Company
shall have the right to pre-pay the Note and prevent Purchaser from exercising
his conversion rights..
1.7 PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHT TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL SHARES.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section
1.3, if the Note is fully converted into Common Stock of the Company, the
Company hereby grants to Purchaser a right of first refusal with respect to
future sales by the Company of its equity securities or securities convertible
into or exercisable for equity securities, where issuance of those securities
will result in a dilution of Purchaser's as-converted equity position to less
than 75% of the Common Stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis. Each time
the Company proposes to offer any shares of, or securities convertible into or
exercisable for any shares of, any class of the Company's equity securities (the
"NEW SHARES"), the Company shall first make an offer to Purchaser of such
portion of the New Shares which equals the proportion that all securities in the
Company held by to Purchaser, on an as-converted basis, bears to the total
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis plus
the New Shares (the "PRO RATA SHARE"). The closing of the sale of the Pro Rata
Share shall occur simultaneously with the sale of the New Shares to other
investors.
-4-
(b) The right of first refusal in this Section 1.3 shall not be
applicable to the issuance or sale of (i) securities issued pursuant to stock
splits, stock dividends, or similar transactions approved by Purchaser; (ii)
shares of Common Stock issued to employees, consultants, officers or directors
of the company pursuant to stock option plans or restricted stock plans or
agreements approved by the Company's Board of Directors and by Purchaser; (iii)
securities issued to financial institutions or lessors in connection with
commercial credit arrangements, equipment financings, commercial property lease
transactions, or similar transactions approved by the Board of Directors and
Purchaser and not for the purpose of raising capital, (iv) shares of Common
Stock issued in an underwritten public offering; or (v) securities issued in
connection with bona fide acquisition transactions approved by the Board of
Directors and by Purchaser.
(c) The right of first refusal in this Section 1.3 shall terminate
and cease to have effect upon the closing of an acquisition of the Company to an
unrelated third party in a transaction approved by Purchaser.

loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (a)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made in
connection with the sale of Registrable Securities or shares of Common Stock,
whether or not such statement is contained or incorporated by reference in any
registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities (as
amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or
supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, (b) any omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact required to be stated in any registration
statement or prospectus or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or (c) any violation by the Company of any Federal, state or common
law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to action
required of or inaction by the Company in connection with such registration. The

and agents in investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action. The Company shall either promptly, but
in no event in more than ten Business Days after request for payment, pay
directly all amounts that it is required to pay hereunder or shall reimburse the
requesting party for such amounts within ten Business Days after any request for
such reimbursement. The Company also shall indemnify any Underwriter of the
Registrable Securities, their officers, affiliates, directors, partners, members
and agents and each person who controls such Underwriters on substantially the
same basis as that of the indemnification of Purchaser provided in this Section
2.4.1.
The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.4.1 shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage or liability
or any action in respect thereof if such settlement is effected without the
consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor
shall the Company be liable to Purchaser and his affiliates and agents in any
such case for any loss, claim, damage, liability or any action in respect
thereof to the extent that it arises solely from or is based solely upon and is
in conformity with information related to Purchaser furnished in writing by
Purchaser expressly for use in connection with such registration by Purchaser,
nor shall the Company be liable to Purchaser for any such loss, claim, damage or
liability or any action in respect thereof to the extent it arises solely from
or is based solely upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating
to the Registrable Securities delivered by Purchaser after the Company had
provided written notice to Purchaser that such registration statement or
prospectus contained such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading after the Company had provided written notice to
Purchaser that such registration statement or prospectus contained such omission
or alleged omission.
-11-
2.4.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY PURCHASER. The Holder shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, partners, members and agents
and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section
15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnity from the Company to Purchaser, but solely with reference to
information in conformity with and related to Purchaser furnished in writing by
Purchaser expressly for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating
to the Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any
preliminary prospectus. The Holder also indemnify and hold harmless any
Underwriter of the Registrable Securities, their officers, directors, partners,
members and agents and each person who controls such Underwriters on
substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Company
provided in this Section 2.4.2; provided, however, that in no event shall any
indemnity obligation under this Section 2.4.2 exceed the dollar amount of the
net proceeds actually received by Purchaser from the sale of Registrable
Securities which gave rise to such indemnification obligation under such
registration statement or prospectus.
2.4.3 CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. Promptly after receipt
by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any
action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 2.4.1 or
2.4.2, such person ("INDEMNIFIED PARTY") shall, if a claim in respect thereof is
to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such
other person ("INDEMNIFYING PARTY") in writing of the loss, claim damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified
Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party
from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified
Party hereunder. If the Indemnified Party is seeking Indemnification with
respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action,
and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties,
to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its
election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party
shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in
any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are
named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the
Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability
arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the
Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of
such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written
opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by
the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any
settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which
the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have
been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or
settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all
liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.
-12-
2.4.4 CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in the
foregoing Sections 2.4.1, 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified
Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to
herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions
or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any
Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying
Party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 2.4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an
Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred
by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such
action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.4.4, Purchaser
shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of
the net proceeds actually received by Purchaser from the sale of Registrable
Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the ▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation.
2.5 UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION.
2.5.1 RULE 144. The Company covenants that it shall file any reports
required to be filed by it under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act and shall take
such further action as Purchaser may reasonably request, all to the extent
required from time to time to enable Purchaser to sell Registrable Securities
without registration under the 1933 Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, as such Rules may be
amended from time to time, or any similar Rule or regulation hereafter adopted
by the Commission.
2.5.2 "LOCK-UP" AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER. The Holder, by his
acceptance hereof, agrees that, upon request, in connection with any
underwritten public offering by the Company, Purchaser will enter "lock-up"
agreements, in customary form, pursuant to which he will agree not to effect any
sale or distribution of any securities similar to those being registered by the
Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or 144A under the 1933
Act, during the 14 days prior to, and during the 180-day period beginning on,
the effective date of the registration statement relating to such offering
(except as part of such registration statement); provided, however, that the
obligation of Purchaser to execute a lock-up agreement is subject to the
execution of similar agreements by all of the officers, directors and other
shareholders of the Company who hold shares of Common Stock or options or other
securities exercisable or convertible for or into shares of Common Stock.
-13-
2.6 NO INCONSISTENT OR SUPERIOR REGISTRATION RIGHTS. From and after the
date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent
of Purchaser, (i) enter into any agreement granting demand registration rights
with respect to its Common Stock or other securities, (ii) enter into any
agreement granting Piggyback Registration rights with respect to the Common
Stock or other securities which are inconsistent with or superior to the rights
granted to Purchaser hereunder; or (iii) amend any agreement in effect as of the
date hereof which grants registration rights to any other person or entity so as
to cause such registration rights to be inconsistent with or superior to the
rights granted to Purchaser hereunder or to otherwise adversely affect the
registration rights granted to Purchaser hereunder.

United States, without offset, deduction, or counterclaim of any kind.
1. TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the

Payments are to be made at such place as Purchaser or the legal holders of this
Note may, from time to time, in writing specify, and in the absence of a

3. CONVERSION OF NOTE. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2, this
Note is convertible into equity of the Company at the option of Purchaser and
upon the other terms and conditions set forth below.
3.1 VOLUNTARY CONVERSION. Unless payment in full on this Note has
earlier been made, all or any portion of the then outstanding principal and
interest accrued thereon under this Note may be converted, at the option of
Purchaser, into shares of the Company's Common Stock ("CONVERSION SHARES") at a
conversion price of $0.003125 per share (as adjusted pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Note) ("CONVERSION PRICE").
3.2 ANTIDILUTION ADJUSTMENTS. The Conversion Price in effect at any
time and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the conversion of
this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of
any of the following events:
(i) If the Company issues or sells (or, pursuant to paragraph
(ii) below, is deemed to have issued or sold) any shares of Common Stock
(except as provided in paragraph (v) below) for a consideration per share
less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
issuance or sale, then the Conversion Price, as of the date of such
issuance or sale, shall be reduced to a price equal to such consideration
per share.
(ii) For the purposes of paragraph (i) above, the following
subparagraphs (A) to (E), inclusive, shall be applicable:
(A) If at any time the Company issues or sells any
rights to subscribe for, or any rights or options to purchase,
Common Stock or any stock or other securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock (such convertible or exchangeable
stock or securities being hereinafter called "CONVERTIBLE
SECURITIES"), whether or not such rights or options or the right to
convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately
exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is
issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by
dividing (1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the
Company as consideration for the granting of such rights or options,
plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration
payable to the Company upon the exercise of such rights or options,
plus, in the case of any such rights or options which shall relate
to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of
such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange
thereof, by (2) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon the conversion
or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the
exercise of such rights or options) is less than the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the issue or sale
of such rights or options, then the total number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon
conversion or exchange of the total amount of such Convertible
Securities issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options
shall (as of the date of granting of such rights or options) be
deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued for such price per
share, and except as provided in paragraph (iv), no further
adjustments of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities,
upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities.
2
(B) If at any time the Company issues or sells any
Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or
convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per
share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or
exchange (determined by dividing (1) the total amount received or
receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of
such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the
conversion or exchange thereof, by (2) the total number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities) is less than the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the time of such issuance or sale, then the
total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall (as of the date of
the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities) be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued for such price per share, and,
except as provided in paragraph (iv) no further adjustments of the
Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such
Common Stock, upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities. In addition, if any issuance or sale of such Convertible
Securities is made upon exercise of any rights to subscribe for or
to purchase or any option to purchase any such Convertible
Securities for which adjustments of the Conversion Price have been
or shall be made pursuant to other provisions of this paragraph
(ii), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by
reason of such issuance or sale.
(C) If at any time the Company declares and pays a
dividend or makes any other distribution upon the Common Stock
payable in Common Stock or Convertible Securities, any such Common
Stock or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in
payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have
been issued or sold without consideration; provided, that this
provision shall not apply to any shares of Common Stock issuable for
additional consideration upon conversion of such Convertible
Securities.
(D) If at any time any shares of Common Stock or
Convertible Securities or any rights or options to purchase any such
Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for cash,
the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount
received by the Company therefor, without deduction therefrom of any
expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions or
discounts paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith. If
any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities or any rights
or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash,
the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the
Company shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration
as determined by the Board of Directors, without deduction therefrom
of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or
concessions or discounts paid or allowed by the Company in
connection therewith. If any shares of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities or any rights or options to purchase any such Common
Stock or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any
merger of another corporation into the Company, the amount of
consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such
merged corporation as determined by the Board of Directors reduced
by all cash and other consideration (if any) paid by the Company in
connection with such merger.
3
(E) If at any time the Company fails to set a record
date of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling
them (1) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
Common Stock or in Convertible Securities, or (2) to subscribe for
or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then such record
date shall be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the
shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the
declaration of such dividend or the making of such other
distribution or the date of the granting of such right of
subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(iii) If at any time the Company subdivides its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be
proportionately reduced. If at any time the outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Company are combined into a smaller number of shares, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased.
(iv) If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any
right or option referred to in paragraph (ii) (A), or the rate at which
any Convertible Securities referred to in paragraph (ii) (A) or (B) is
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, changes or a different
purchase or exercise price or rate becomes effective at any time or from
time to time, then, upon such change becoming effective, the Conversion
Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be increased or decreased
to such Conversion Price as would have been in effect had the adjustments
made upon the granting or issuance of such rights or options or
Convertible Securities been made upon the basis of (A) the issuance of the
number of shares of Common Stock theretofore actually delivered upon the
exercise of such options or rights or upon the conversion or exchange of
such Convertible Securities consideration received therefor and (B) the
granting or issuance at the time of such change of any such options,
rights or Convertible Securities then still outstanding for the
consideration, if any, received by the Company therefor and to be received
on the basis of such changed price.
4
(v) The Company shall not be required to make any adjustment
to the Conversion Price in the case of:
(A) the granting, after the date hereof, by the Company
of stock options or stock awards with respect to shares of Common
Stock under stock option plans of the Company in existence as of the
date hereof and disclosed to Purchaser;
(B) the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to
the exercise of the options referred to in paragraph (v) (A) above
or any other options or other convertible securities outstanding as
of the date hereof and disclosed to Purchaser;
(C) the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to
the exercise of any warrants outstanding on the date hereof and
disclosed to Purchaser.
(vi) The Company shall give notice to Purchaser of any event
or transaction that results in an adjustment in the Conversion Price,
within ten business days thereof, at Purchaser's address as it appears on
the books of the Company, including a computation of such adjustment and
any further information as shall be necessary to confirm the computation
of such adjustments.
3.3 CONVERSION PROCEDURE. Before Purchaser shall be entitled to
receive a certificate for the Conversion Shares and any other instruments in
connection with a conversion hereunder, Purchaser shall enter into any
agreements required by the terms of such conversion and surrender the original
of this Note, duly endorsed, at the principal office of the Company. At its
expense, the Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver
to Purchaser at such principal office a certificate or certificates for the
number of Conversion Shares to which Purchaser shall be entitled upon such
conversion (bearing such legends as are required by the terms of the conversion
and applicable state and federal securities law in the opinion of counsel to the
Company), together with any other securities and property to which Purchaser is
entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Note and, if the
conversion is for less than all of the then outstanding balance of principal and
interest on this Note, a replacement Note of like tenor in the proper
denomination.
3.4 MECHANICS AND EFFECT OF CONVERSION. No fractional shares shall
be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any
fractional shares to Purchaser upon the conversion of this Note, the Company
shall pay to Purchaser the amount of outstanding principal or interest that is
not so converted, such payment to be in cash as provided below. Upon conversion
of all principal of and accrued interest on this Note and/or payment of all
principal and accrued interest, the Company shall be forever released from all
its obligations and liabilities under this Note.
3.5 RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. The Company shall
at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Note such
number of its shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the
conversion of the Note; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued
shares is not sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note, then, in
addition to such other remedies as shall be available to Purchaser, the Company
will use its best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion
of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares to
such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
5
3.6 LEGEND. Each certificate or instrument evidencing Conversion
Shares and any other securities issued upon any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event (unless no longer
required in the opinion of the counsel for the Company) shall be imprinted with
a legend substantially in the following form:
THE SECURITIES TO WHICH THIS INSTRUMENT RELATES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED ("SECURITIES ACT"), OR UNDER
ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS ("BLUE SKY LAWS"), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR
SOLD WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND AS REQUIRED BY
BLUE SKY LAWS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER, UNLESS THIS CORPORATION HAS
RECEIVED AN OPINION FROM COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THIS CORPORATION AND ITS
COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
The Company shall be entitled to enter stop transfer notices on its
transfer books with respect to such securities.
4. SECURITY. Repayment of this Note is secured pursuant to the terms of a
Security Agreement dated the date of this Note by and between the Company and
Purchaser.
5. ATTORNEYS' FEES. If any action is instituted on this Note, the
successful or prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover
reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in that action or
proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which the party or parties may be
entitled. Diligence, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, and protest are
waived by the Company, and any and all makers, sureties, guarantors, and
endorsers of this Note, and their successors and assigns. Time is of the essence
for every obligation under this Note.
6. LAW. This Note shall be construed under the laws of the State of
California, as such laws are applied to contracts entered into and performed
entirely within that state by residents thereof.
7. RULES OF CONSTRUCTION/REPRESENTATION. The parties hereto agree that
they are sophisticated business persons or entities who have had the opportunity
to be represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Note
and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of
construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will
be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed and delivered this Note as of

Purchaser that:
4.1 OWNERSHIP OF COLLATERAL. Except for the Lien granted to Purchaser
under this Agreement, the Company is the sole owner of its interest in each item
of the Collateral in which it purports to grant a security interest hereunder,
having good and marketable title thereto free and clear of any and all Liens.
4.2 FILINGS. Except with respect to the Lien granted to Purchaser under
this Agreement, no effective security agreement, financing statement, equivalent
security or lien instrument or continuation statement covering all or any part

which Lien (a) is a first priority Lien, and (b) is enforceable as such as
against creditors of, and purchasers from, the Company and as against any
purchaser of real property where any of the fixtures or equipment are located
and any future creditor obtaining a Lien on such real property. All necessary
legal action has been taken to (i) establish and perfect Purchaser's Lien in
each item of the Collateral (other than items of Collateral for which
Purchaser's Lien may be perfected only by possession thereof and which are in
the possession of the Senior Lender or which the Senior Lender requires the
Company to retain possession), and (ii) entitle Purchaser to exercise the rights
and remedies provided in each of this Agreement, the Intellectual Property
Assignment, the Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreements and the Code. The
Company shall not at any time take any action which shall cause this Section 4.3
to become not true and correct, and the Company shall at all times take all
action necessary to cause this Section 4.3 to remain true and correct. If, at
any time, there are Liens on any Collateral, the Company shall use its best
efforts to remove the conflicting Liens within 60 days thereafter and, in any
event, shall remove the conflicting Liens within 90 days thereafter.
4.4 NAME; LOCATIONS OF COLLATERAL. The Company's exact legal name is
"Integrated Healthcare Holdings, Inc." The Company's chief executive office,
principal place of business, other offices, and premises within which any
Collateral is stored or located, and the location of all of its records
concerning the Collateral are at the address set forth on the first page hereof.
The Company shall not change the state where it is located (as that term is used
in Section 9307 of the Code), its chief executive office, principal place of
business, any of its other offices, or the location of its records concerning
the Collateral, without giving 30 days' prior written notice thereof to
Purchaser and taking all actions which Purchaser instructs the Company are
necessary or appropriate to continuously protect and perfect Purchaser's Lien
upon the Collateral.
-6-
4.5 INSTRUMENTS. All action necessary to protect and perfect the Lien of
Purchaser in each instrument which is part of the Collarteral has been duly
taken. The Lien of Purchaser in the instruments which are part of the Collateral
is a first priority Lien and is enforceable as such against creditors of and
purchasers from the Company. The Company shall not at any time take any action
which shall cause this Section 4.5 to become not true and correct, and the
Company shall at all times take all action necessary to cause this Section 4.5
to remain true and correct.
4.6 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 4 shall survive the execution and delivery

5.1 FURTHER ASSURANCES. At any time and from time to time, upon the
request of Purchaser and at the sole expense of the Company, the Company shall
promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and
documents and take such further action as Purchaser may reasonably deem
necessary to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and
powers herein granted, including, but not limited to: (a) securing all consents
and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to or for the benefit
of Purchaser of any Agreement held by the Company or in which the Company has
any rights not heretofore assigned; (b) filing any financing or continuation
statements under the Code with respect to the Lien granted hereunder; (c)
transferring Collateral to Purchaser's possession (if the Collateral consists of
chattel paper or if a Lien on the Collateral can be perfected only by
possession, or if otherwise requested by Purchaser); (d) placing the interest of
Purchaser as lienholder on the certificate of title of any vehicle owned by the
Company; and (e) obtaining waivers, in form and substance satisfactory to
Purchaser, of Liens from landlords and mortgagees. The Company also hereby
authorizes Purchaser to file any such financing or continuation statement
without the signature of the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Purchaser shall, upon request, provide the Company with photocopies of all such
filings at the Company's expense. If any amount payable under or in connection
with any of the Collateral is or shall become evidenced by any Instrument, such
Instrument, other than checks received in the ordinary course of business, shall
be duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to Purchaser immediately upon the
Company's receipt thereof and promptly delivered to Purchaser.
5.2 BOOKS AND RECORDS. The Company shall keep and maintain, at its own
cost and expense, satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral,
including, but not limited to, a record of any and all payments received and any
and all credits granted with respect to the Collateral and all other dealings
with the Collateral. The Company shall ▇▇▇▇ its books and records pertaining to
the Collateral to evidence this Agreement and the Lien granted hereby. All
chattel paper (including any chattel paper created by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries after the date hereof) shall be marked with the following legend:
"This writing and the obligations evidenced or secured hereby are
subject to the security interest of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, M.D."
-7-
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default, the Company shall
deliver and turn over all of its books and records pertaining to the Collateral
to Purchaser or to Purchaser's representatives at any time on demand of
Purchaser. Prior to the occurrence of a Default, upon prior notice from
Purchaser, the Company shall permit any representative of Purchaser to inspect
the books and records and shall provide photocopies thereof to Purchaser at the
Company's expense.
5.3 CORPORATE IDENTITY. The Company shall not change its name, identity or
corporate structure in any manner that might make any financing or continuation
statement filed in connection herewith seriously misleading within the meaning
of Section 9506 of the Code or any other applicable provision of the Code unless
it has given Purchaser at least 30 days' prior written notice thereof and has
taken all action (or made arrangements satisfactory to Purchaser, at the
Company's expense, to take the action substantially simultaneously with the
change if it is impossible to take the action in advance) necessary or requested
by Purchaser to amend the financing statement or continuation statement so that
it is not seriously misleading.
5.4 FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT. The Company shall keep and maintain the
fixtures and equipment in good operating condition sufficient for the
continuation of the business conducted by it on a basis consistent with past
practices, and the Company shall provide or arrange for all maintenance and

the prior written consent of Purchaser, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any Collateral, other than in the ordinary course of business,
consistent with past practices and in a manner consistent with the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders.
6. PURCHASER'S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
6.1 APPOINTMENT; POWERS. The Company hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints Purchaser and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of

purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and
instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby grants to
Purchaser the power and right, on behalf of the Company, without notice to or
assent by the Company, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a
Default (except as otherwise provided below), to do the following, all at the
Company's expense:

and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral;

(m) sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to, or

hereof. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 6 is a power
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all Obligations shall
have been indefeasibly paid in full.
6.3 DUTIES AND LIABILITIES. The powers conferred on Purchaser hereunder
are solely to protect Purchaser's interests in the Collateral and shall not
impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Purchaser shall be
accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the
exercise of those powers and neither Purchaser nor any of its officers,
directors, partners, employees, agents or representatives shall be responsible
or liable to the Company for any act or failure to act.
6.4 COMMUNICATION WITH THIRD PARTIES; SALE OF COLLATERAL. The Company also
authorizes Purchaser, at any time and from time to time, upon prior written
notice and receipt of the Company's consent (unless a Default or an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case no notice or consent shall
be necessary) to (a) communicate in Purchaser's own name with any party to any
Agreement or account with regard to the assignment of the right, title and
interest of the Company in and under the Agreement or account and other matters
relating thereto, and (b) execute, in connection with the sale provided for in
Section 8, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or
transfer with respect to the Collateral.
7. PERFORMANCE BY PURCHASER OF THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATIONS. If the Company fails
to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein or in the
Purchase Agreement or any Related Agreement and Purchaser, as provided for by
the terms of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement or any Related Agreement,
shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance of or compliance
with that agreement, then the expenses (including, but not limited to,
attorneys' fees) of Purchaser incurred in connection with that performance or
compliance, together with applicable interest thereon at the rate then in effect
in accordance with the terms of the Notes, shall be payable by the Company to
Purchaser on demand and shall constitute Obligations secured hereby.
8. REMEDIES; RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.
8.1 RIGHTS REGARDING COLLATERAL. If any Default occurs and continues,
Purchaser may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to
him under the Purchase Agreement, this Agreement, any other Related Agreement or
any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the
Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company expressly agrees that in
that event Purchaser may, without demand of performance or other demand,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time
and place of public or private sale) to or upon the Company or any other Person
(all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly
waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law),
enter upon the premises of the Company where any Collateral is located through
self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or
giving the Company notice and opportunity for a hearing on Purchaser's claim or
action, and without paying rent to the Company, and collect, receive, assemble,
process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and
may immediately sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or
sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral (or contract to do so),
or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales
or at any exchange, at prices it deems best, for cash or on credit or for future
delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Purchaser shall have the right
at any public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, at any private
sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of Purchaser the whole or any part of
the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity
of redemption the Company hereby releases. The sales may be adjourned or
continued from time to time with or without notice. Purchaser shall have the
right to conduct the sales on the Company's premises or elsewhere and shall have
the right to use the Company's premises without charge for the sales for such
time or times as Purchaser deems necessary or advisable. Purchaser shall give
notice of any disposition of the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 9610 through 9613 of the Code.
-10-
The Company further agrees, if a Default has occurred and continues, at
Purchaser's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to
Purchaser at places which Purchaser shall select, whether at the Company's
premises or elsewhere. Until Purchaser is able to effect a sale, lease, or other
disposition of any Collateral, Purchaser shall have the right to use or operate
the Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for
the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose
deemed appropriate by Purchaser. Purchaser shall have no obligation to the
Company to take any action to maintain or preserve the rights of the Company as
against third parties with respect to any Collateral while the Collateral is in
the possession of Purchaser. Purchaser may, if it so elects, seek the
appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to
enforce any of Purchaser's remedies with respect to such appointment without
prior notice or hearing. Purchaser shall apply the net proceeds of any
collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, as provided
in Section 9. The Company shall remain liable for any deficiency remaining
unpaid after the application, and only after so paying over the net proceeds and
after the payment by Purchaser of any other amount required by any provision of
law, including, but not limited to, Section 9608 of the Code (but only after
Purchaser has received what Purchaser considers reasonable proof of a
subordinate party's Lien), need Purchaser account for the surplus, if any, to
the Company. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company
waives all claims, damages, and demands against Purchaser arising out of the
repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral. The Company agrees that five
days' prior notice by Purchaser to it of the time and place of any public sale
or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable
notification. The Company shall remain liable for (a) any deficiency if the
proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay
all amounts to which Purchaser is entitled, and (b) any and all costs and
expenses incurred by Purchaser, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees,
to collect the deficiency.
8.2 FEES. The Company agrees to pay any and all expenses of Purchaser
(including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and appraisal costs) incurred in
connection with the enforcement of any of its rights and remedies hereunder.
-11-
8.3 WAIVER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law), the Company hereby waives
presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind in connection with this
Agreement or any Collateral.
9. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be distributed by
Purchaser upon receipt, in the following order of priorities:
(a) first, to Purchaser in an amount sufficient to pay in full the
expenses of Purchaser in connection with such sale, disposition or other
realization, including, but not limited to, all expenses, liabilities and
advances incurred or made by Purchaser in connection therewith, including,
but not limited to, attorneys' fees;
(b) second, to Purchaser to be applied, first, to all accrued but
unpaid interest on, and, second, to all principal of, the Notes;
(c) third, to all other Obligations; and
(d) finally, upon payment in full of all of the Obligations, to the
Company or its representatives or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled
to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
10. LIMITATION ON PURCHASER'S DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL. Purchaser shall use
reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its
control. Purchaser shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its
possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of
Purchaser, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against
prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Upon request of the
Company, Purchaser shall account for any monies received by Purchaser in respect
of any foreclosure on or disposition of the Collateral.
11. REINSTATEMENT. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company
for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make
an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or should a receiver or trustee be
appointed for all or any significant part of the Company's assets, and shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to
applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or
returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a "voidable preference,"
"fraudulent transfer" or otherwise, all as though the payment or performance had
not been made. If any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced,
restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced
only by the amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
12. NOTICES. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein
that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other
communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any
other party, or whenever either of the parties desires to give or serve upon any
other party any communication with respect to this Agreement, each notice,
demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be
in writing and given in the manner provided for in Section 6.12 of the Purchase
Agreement.
-12-
13. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of the prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the provision in any
other jurisdiction. This Agreement is to be read, construed and applied together
with the Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements which, taken together,
set forth the complete understanding and agreement of Purchaser and the Company
with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein.
14. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Purchaser shall not, by any act, delay,
omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies
hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Purchaser
and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Purchaser of any
right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to
any right or remedy which Purchaser would otherwise have on any future occasion.
Neither Purchaser's failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right,
power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude
any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may
be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and
remedies provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may
be waived, altered, modified or amended except by a written instrument duly
executed by Purchaser and the Company.
15. LIMITATION BY LAW. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this
Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not
violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this
Agreement are intended to be (i) subject to all applicable mandatory provisions
of law that may be controlling and (ii) limited to the extent necessary so that
they do not render this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part,
or not entitled to be recorded, registered, or filed under the provisions of any
applicable law.
16. TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. Subject to Section 11, this Agreement shall
terminate upon the date on which all Obligations have been paid in full. For

may become due and payable under the Notes; and (ii) the Company has fully
satisfied its obligations with respect to the payment of all accrued and unpaid

possible, Purchaser shall prepare, execute and deliver Code termination
statement(s) to the Company to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State
of Nevada.

17. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement and all obligations of the Company
hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company and,
together with the rights and remedies of Purchaser hereunder, shall inure to the
benefit of Purchaser, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the
Obligations, and their respective successors and assigns. No sales of
participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any
agreement governing or instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or any
portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the Lien granted
to Purchaser hereunder.
18. ENFORCEMENT. If the Company fails to observe or perform any covenant or
agreement to be observed or performed under this Agreement, Purchaser may

an injunction against the breach of any term or in aid of the exercise of any
power granted in this Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable right
of Purchaser, or to take any one or more actions. The Company shall pay all
fees, costs, and expenses, including without limitation, fees and expenses of
attorneys, accountants and other experts retained by Purchaser, and all fees,
costs and expenses of appeals incurred or expended by Purchaser in connection
with the enforcement of this Agreement or the collection of any sums due
hereunder, whether or not suit is commenced, unless and to the extent that the
Company prevails in any action, suit or proceeding initiated by Purchaser which
a court of competent jurisdiction determines was initiated or maintained by
Purchaser in bad faith. None of the rights, powers or remedies conferred under
this Agreement shall be mutually exclusive, and each right, power or remedy
shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right, power or remedy whether
conferred by this Agreement or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by
statute or otherwise.

21. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX
FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN
EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL
LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR
DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO
ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF
ARBITRATION, AND UNDERSTANDING THEY ARE WAIVING A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, THE
PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR
OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO, THIS
AGREEMENT, THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND/OR ANY RELATED AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS COMPLETED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
