AND RESTATED SECURITY AGREEMENT
This
Agreement is effective as of November 30, 2010, by and between Oak Tree
Educational Partners, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, (“Parent”),
the parent company of Valley Anesthesia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”);
and their respective subsidiaries, current and future, as debtor (collectively,
jointly and severally “Debtor”),
and Valley Anesthesia Educational Programs, Inc., an Iowa corporation, as the
Secured Party (“Secured
Party”).
Whereas, Borrower and Valley Anesthesia
Educational Programs, Inc., an Iowa corporation, (“Valley
Seller”) are parties to that certain Agreement of Purchase of Assets
dated August 20, 2009 (the “Purchase
Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Borrower purchased
and acquired all of the Purchased Assets (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)
subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein; and
Whereas, Pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, Valley Seller agreed to finance a portion of the “Purchase Price” (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement), and Borrower executed and delivered that
certain Six Year Term Note dated as of August 20, 2009, made payable to Valley
Seller in the initial principal amount of $2,000,000 (as amended, supplemented,
replaced or restated from time to time, the “Subordinated
Note”); and
Whereas, in connection with the
Subordinated Note, Borrower and Valley Seller entered into that certain Security
Agreement dated as of August 20, 2009 (the “Original Security
Agreement”), pursuant to which Borrower granted a security interest in
the Purchased Assets, and all additions and accessions thereto as such is
renewed and replenished and all proceeds of its sale or other disposition until
the Purchase Price is paid in full, to Subordinated Lender to secure the
Subordinated Note; and
Whereas,
Borrower and Parent are parties to that certain Loan Agreement dated November
30, 2010, by and among Parent, Borrower, and their respective subsidiaries,
current and future, as borrowers, Deerpath Funding, LP, a Delaware limited
partnership, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto, (“Deerpath”)
and Deerpath, as administrative agent and collateral agent for itself and the
other lenders (the “Senior Loan
Agreement”); and
Whereas, as a material inducement to
the Senior Loan Agreement, Deerpath has required that Valley Seller and Borrower
enter into that certain Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement dated November
30, 2010, (the “Subordination
Agreement”) to subordinate the rights and remedies of Valley Seller under
the Subordinated Note, this Amended and Restated Security Agreement, and other
documents constituting the “Subordinated Debt
Documents”, as defined in the Subordination Agreement, to the rights and
remedies of Deerpath under the Senior Loan Agreement and other documents;
and
Whereas,
as a condition precedent to Valley Seller entering into the Subordination
Agreement, Valley Seller has required that the obligations of Borrower under the
Subordinated Debt Documents be secured by a security interest in the assets of
Debtor in accordance with the terms of this Security Agreement.
