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.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Debtor agrees as follows:

5.           FURTHER DOCUMENTS.  Debtor shall, at its sole cost and expense
