Would impair the creation,  attachment or perfection of a security interest;  or 2. Provides that the assignment or transfer or the creation,  attachment or perfection of the security interest may give rise to a default,  breach,  right of recoupment,  claim,  defense,  termination,  right of termination or remedy under the promissory note,  health-care-insurance receivable or general intangible.
