The full and timely payment of the Liabilities and Borrower’s full and timely performance of the Covenants are secured by security interests, liens and encumbrances granted by Borrower to Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, documents and guaranties as heretofore, contemporaneously herewith or may hereafter be executed and delivered to Lender by Borrower and any other persons and entities, from time to time, as the case may be, evidencing, securing or guarantying the Liabilities and the Covenants (collectively the “Collateral Documents”), including, without limitation, the following documents, as each such document may be amended or restated from time to time: (i) those certain Membership Interest Pledge Agreements dated as of March 31, 2009, executed and delivered by the Equity Interest holders of Borrower to Lender, (ii) that certain Membership Interest Pledge Agreement dated as of June 18, 2010, executed and delivered by United American Healthcare to Lender, and (iii) that certain Membership Interest Pledge Agreement of even date herewith executed and delivered by St George Investments to Lender.

If (a) an Event of Default occurs under and as defined in the Loan Agreement, or (b) a breach, default or event of default occurs under any of the Collateral Documents, and such breach, default or event of default is not cured within the applicable grace or cure period, if any (collectively an “Event of Default”), at the option of Lender or the legal holder hereof, as the case may be, and without demand therefor or notice thereof from Lender to Borrower or any other person or entity, all of the Liabilities shall be immediately due and payable and shall be collectible immediately or at any time after such Event of Default.  The acceptance by Lender of any partial payment of the Liabilities after an Event of Default will not establish a custom, or waive any of Lender’s rights or remedies pursuant to this Note, the Collateral Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise.  Borrower and every endorser of this Note hereby each waive presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, demand, protest, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, amendment, modification, settlement, extension or renewal of the Liabilities or this Note, the Covenants, the Collateral Documents or any collateral or security for the Liabilities or the Covenants.

Any forbearance by Lender or the legal holder hereof, as the case may be, in exercising any right or remedy pursuant to this Note or the Collateral Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise, shall not be or be deemed a waiver of nor shall preclude the subsequent exercise of any such right or remedy.

If at any time or times before or after an Event of Default, Lender:

A.           employs an accountant, consultant, counsel or any other representative or advisor:

1.           with respect to the Liabilities, this Note, the Collateral Documents or otherwise,

2.           to represent or consult with Lender in connection with any litigation, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding, or to commence, defend, intervene or take any other action in or with respect to any litigation, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding, whether initiated by Lender, Borrower or any other person or entity, in any way or respect arising from, relating to or in connection with the Liabilities, this Note, the Covenants, the Collateral Documents or any collateral or security for the Liabilities or the Covenants, or

3.           to enforce any of Lender’s rights or remedies;

then the costs and expenses so incurred by Lender shall be part of the Liabilities payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand with interest at the Default Rate until actually paid.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such costs and expenses shall include the fees, expenses and charges of attorneys, paralegals, accountants, investment bankers, appraisers, valuation and other specialists, experts, expert witnesses, auctioneers, court reporters, telegram, telex and telefax charges, overnight delivery services, messenger services and expenses for travel, lodging and meals.

If any provision of this Note is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed here from and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Note, the balance of which shall remain in and have its intended full force and effect.  However, if such invalid or unenforceable provision may be modified so as to be valid and enforceable as a matter of law, such provision shall be deemed to have been modified so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.  If any rate of interest described in this Note is greater than the rate of interest permitted to be charged or collected by applicable law, as the case may be, such rate of interest shall be reduced to the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged or collected by applicable law.

Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged or delivered, any and all such further assurances and other agreements or instruments, and take or cause to be taken all such other action, as shall be reasonably necessary from time to time to give full effect to the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.
