THIS AGREEMENT made as of the 1st day of May, 1997 by and between
Princeton Medical Management Northeast, Inc., a Florida corporation (the

(the "Purchaser").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Seller, together with Century Dental Center, P.C., a
Pennsylvania professional corporation ("Century Dental"), is engaged in the
business of operating and managing a dental practice under the name "Century
Dental Center" which provides dental services and related activities at one (1)
facility in the city of Springfield in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (such
activities being hereinafter referred to as the "Business"); and
WHEREAS, the Purchaser (or its designee) desires to acquire
from the Seller certain assets of the Seller described in Section I(C)(i)
hereof (the "Assets") and to assume certain liabilities and contractual
obligations of the Seller as described in Section I(C)(ii) hereof (the "Assumed
Liabilities"), and the Seller desires to sell or assign the Assets and to
assign the Assumed Liabilities to the Purchaser (or its designee), on the terms
and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally
bound, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION I

warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, at the Closing

its designee) and the Purchaser (or its designee) agrees to accept and

respect to, and shall be indemnified by the Seller against any and all
liabilities or obligations of the Seller, other than the Assumed
Liabilities.

B. Purchase Price. The purchase price (the "Purchase Price")
for the Assets is (i) $355,109.38 and (ii) the contingent payments, if
earned (the "Contingent Payments"), provided for in Section I(D)

means of a wire transfer to an account designated by the Seller, (b) at
the direction of the Seller, delivery to First Republic Bank ("First

designated by Century and (d) delivery of an 8% promissory note of the
Purchaser in the principal amount of $29,434.13 in the form of Exhibit
A attached hereto.
C. Assets; Assumed Liabilities.
(i) The Assets shall consist of all assets, business,
contract rights, patient records, financial books and financial
records, other books and records and good will, of every kind
and nature, real, personal, and mixed, tangible and intangible,
wherever located, of the Seller used in or in any way related to the
Business as conducted by the Seller, including, but not limited to,
inventory and supplies, prepaid expenses, deposits, tradenames,
trademarks, patents, copyrights, inventions, books and records, patient
files, and all other agreements and arrangements necessary for the
uninterrupted and continuing operation of the Business, except for the
assets listed in Schedule I hereto (the "Excluded Assets").
(ii) The Assumed Liabilities shall consist of and shall
be limited solely to the obligations and liabilities of the Seller
incurred in connection with the Business listed in Schedule II hereto.
The Purchaser (and its designee) shall not assume, shall have no
responsibility with respect to, and shall be indemnified, by the
Seller against any liabilities or obligations of the Seller or the
Business, except for the Assumed Liabilities set forth in Schedule II
hereto. The Seller shall remain liable for, and shall pay when due,
any and all obligations and liabilities of the Seller and the Business
other than the Assumed Liabilities.
(iii) It is specifically understood and agreed that
the Assumed Liabilities shall not include (a) liabilities of the Seller
or the Business for expenses incurred or accrued, at any time, in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or in any other connection not in the ordinary course of business, (b)
liabilities of the Seller or the Business for federal, state and
municipal income, sales, franchise and other taxes, including any
interest, penalties and assessments thereon, and (c) liabilities of the
Seller or the Business arising out of or relating to any governmental
or private payor claims, returns, invoices, cost reports, late filings
or billing practices which relate to any period prior to the date of
Closing. Neither the Purchaser nor any designee of the Purchaser
assuming the Assumed Liabilities shall assume any liabilities of the
Seller or the Business in connection with any understanding or
agreement, whether written or oral, with respect to any retirement
plan, including, but not limited to, any profit sharing, 401(k) or
defined benefit plan (as defined in Section 414(j) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
5
D. Contingent Payments. Each of the Seller and the Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that since the Business has a short operating
history, the full value of the Business on the date of the
Closing is difficult to ascertain with any degree of certainty on the
date of Closing. Accordingly, the parties to this Agreement agree that
it is appropriate to provide for the Contingent Payments set forth in
this Section I(D) to reflect more accurately the full value of the
Business on the date of Closing. Subject to the conditions set forth
herein and in Schedule III hereto, within thirty (30) days after May
31, 1997 and, May 31, 1998, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller,
the Contingent Payments, if any, payable with respect to the
twelve-month periods ending May 31, 1997 and May 31, 1998,
respectively. The amount of the Contingent Payments payable to the
Seller with respect to each such twelve-month period (each, a
"Contingent Period") (i) shall be based upon the achievement by the
Contingent Payment Business (as hereinafter defined) of targeted "net
operating revenues" (as hereinafter defined) during such Contingent
Period and (ii) shall be determined in accordance with the provisions
hereof and Schedule III hereto. Each of the Contingent Payments, if
earned, shall be made by delivery to the Seller of bank checks payable
to the order of the Seller in such amounts of cash as is determined in
accordance with Schedule III hereto.
E. Computation of Net Operating Revenues. The Purchaser shall,
within thirty (30) days after the end of each Contingent Period,
compute the amount of the net operating revenues of the Contingent
Payment Business for such Contingent Period. The amount so
computed shall be the net operating revenues for purposes of
determining whether or not Contingent Payments shall be due and
payable. Notwithstanding the determination of net operating revenues
for any applicable period by the Purchaser, the Seller shall receive
the information upon which such determination was made, and shall, in
the event of a dispute as to the amount or method of calculation of
such net operating revenues have the right to review all work papers
relating to the determination of net operating revenues. For purposes
of this Agreement, (i) "net operating revenues" of the Contingent
Payment Business shall mean gross charges billed for all services
provided by the Contingent Payment Business, including capitation
revenues pursuant to prepaid dental plans (or, in the event that all or
substantially all of the assets and business of the Contingent Payment
Business, shall have been transferred to another entity or entities,
the allocable portion of the gross charges of such other entity or
entities attributable to the Contingent Payment Business) during the
applicable Contingent Period less any necessary adjustments to reflect
patient refunds and amounts which are determined to be uncollectible at
the time of billing (contractual allowances) or in the future (billing
errors) as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistent with the Purchaser's accounting practices.
For purposes of Sections I(D) and I(E) hereof and Schedule III
hereto, the term "Contingent Payment Business" shall mean the
operations, services and activities of the Business as operated by
the Purchaser (or its designee) combined with the operations of any
related professional corporation managed by the Purchaser (or its
designee) as such operations relate to the Business.
F. Allocation. The Purchase Price (including the Assumed
Liabilities) shall be allocated as set forth in Schedule IV hereto.
The parties hereto agree that the allocation of the Purchase Price
is intended to comply with the allocation
6
method required by Section 1060 of the Code. The parties shall
cooperate to comply with all substantive and procedural requirements of
Section 1060 of the Code and any regulations thereunder, and the
allocation shall be adjusted if, and to the extent, necessary to comply
with the requirements of Section 1060 of the Code. Neither the
Purchaser nor the Seller will take or permit any affiliated
person to take, for federal, state or local income tax purposes, any
position inconsistent with the allocation set forth in Schedule IV
hereto, or, if applicable, such adjusted allocation. Each of the
Purchaser and the Seller agrees that each of them shall attach to its
tax returns for the tax year in which the Closing shall occur an
information statement on Form 8594, which shall be completed in
accordance with allocations set forth in Schedule IV hereto.
G. Assignment. The parties hereto agree that the Purchaser may
designate one or more direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of
the Purchaser to acquire the Assets and to assume the Assumed
Liabilities; provided, however, that the Purchaser's payment
obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any such designations by
the Purchaser.
SECTION II
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS
AND AGREEMENTS OF THE SELLER
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants and
agrees with, the Purchaser, as of the date hereof and as of the date of
the Closing, that:
A. Organization and Qualification. The Seller is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Florida, is duly qualified to do business in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and has full corporate power and
authority to own its properties and to conduct the Business. The
Seller has full power, authority and legal right and all necessary
approvals, permits, licenses and authorizations to own its properties
and to conduct the Business and to enter into and consummate the
transactions contemplated under this Agreement, except for such
approvals, permits, licenses and authorizations, the absence of which
would not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial
condition, operations or prospects of the Business taken as a whole (a
"Material Adverse Effect"). The copies of the certificate of
incorporation and by-laws of the Seller which have been delivered to
the Purchaser are complete and correct.
B. Authority. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by
the Seller, the performance by the Seller of its covenants and
agreements hereunder and the consummation by the Seller of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action. This Agreement constitutes a valid and
legally binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the
Seller in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally or by general principles of
equity.
C. No Legal Bar; Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby,
7
violates any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws
of the Seller or any statute, ordinance, regulation, order, judgment or
decree of any court or governmental agency or board, or conflicts with
or will result in any breach of any of the terms of or constitute a
default under or result in the termination of or the creation of any
lien pursuant to the terms of any contract or agreement to which the
Seller is a party or by which the Seller or any of the Assets is bound,
except where such violation, conflict, breach, default, termination, or
lien creation would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No consents,
approvals or authorizations of, or filings with, any governmental
authority or any other person or entity are required in connection with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and the operation of the Business by
the Purchaser (or its designee) subsequent to the Closing, except for

past practices (and not materially different in type or amount), the
Seller, with respect to the Business, has no liabilities or obligations
of any nature, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise,
whether due or to become due, whether properly reflected under
generally accepted accounting principles as a liability or a charge or

the best of the knowledge
8

accounts or referral sources of the Business, except where such
disputes or losses would not have a Material Adverse Effect; (v)
changes in the methods or procedures for billing or collection of
customer accounts or recording of customer accounts receivable or

other event or condition, known to the Seller or which in the exercise
of reasonable diligence should be known to the Seller, not disclosed in
this Agreement pertaining to and adversely affecting the Assets or the
Business.
F. No Dividends, Loans, Etc. Except as set forth in Exhibit B,
subsequent to March 31, 1997, the Seller has not, except in the normal

the Business, has any interest is set forth in Exhibit B. All such
leased real property is held subject to written leases or other
agreements (a description of which, including the expiration date of
all leases, is set forth in Exhibit B) which are valid and effective in
accordance with their respective terms, and there are no existing
defaults or events of default, or events which with notice or lapse of
time or both would constitute defaults, thereunder on the part of the
Seller in the conduct of the Business, except for such defaults, if
any, which would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Seller has no
knowledge of any default or claimed or purported or alleged default or
state of facts which with notice or lapse of time or both would
constitute a default on the part of any other party in the performance
of any obligation to be performed or paid by such other party under any
lease referred to in Exhibit B, except where the failure to have good
and valid title would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Seller
has not received any written or oral notice to the effect that any
lease will not be renewed at the termination of the term thereof or
that any such lease will be renewed only at a substantially higher
rent.
9
H. Title to Assets; Condition of Property. The Seller has good
and valid title to the Assets owned by it (in the case of owned real
property and the improvements thereon, good and marketable title in fee

reflected in the Financial Statements (except for assets leased under
leases set forth in Exhibit B, inventory and other assets sold or
retired and accounts receivable collected upon, since March 31, 1997 in
the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices), free
and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances, security interests or
claims whatsoever, except as set forth in Exhibit B. The Seller has
the right, power and authority to sell and transfer the Assets owned by
it to the Purchaser (or its designee), and upon such transfer the
Purchaser (or its designee) will acquire good and marketable title to
the Assets, free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances,
security interests or claims whatsoever, except as set forth in Exhibit
B. The properties and assets of the Seller include all properties and
assets used in the operations of the Business as currently conducted.
All such properties and assets of the Seller are in good condition and
repair, consistent with their respective ages, and have been maintained
and serviced in accordance with the normal practices of the Seller.
None of such properties or assets is subject to any liens, charges,
encumbrances or security interests, except as set forth in Exhibit B.
None of such properties or assets (including the Assets) (or uses to
which they are put) fails to conform with any applicable agreement,
law, ordinance or regulation in a manner which could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or is likely to be material
to the operation of the Business.
I. Taxes. The Seller has filed or caused to be filed on a
timely basis, all federal, state, local, foreign and other tax returns,
reports and declarations (collectively, "Tax Returns") required to be
filed by the Seller in connection with the Business except for those
Tax Returns required to be filed for the taxable year ending December
31, 1996 for which the Seller has timely filed an extension request.
All Tax Returns filed by the Seller on behalf of the Business are true,
complete and correct in all material respects. The Seller has paid all
income, estimated, excise, franchise, gross receipts, capital stock,
profits, stamp, occupation, sales, use, transfer, value added, property

disability, withholding, social security, workers' compensation and
other taxes, and interest, penalties, fines, costs and assessments

are no tax liens on any of the properties or assets, real, personal or
mixed, tangible or intangible, of the Seller in connection with the
Business. Since March 31, 1997, the Seller in connection with the
Business has not incurred any tax liability other than in the ordinary
course of business. Except as set forth in Exhibit B, no Tax Return of
the Seller in connection with the Business has ever been audited. No
deficiency in Taxes for any period has been asserted by any taxing
authority which remains unpaid at the date hereof (the results of any
settlement being set forth on Exhibit B hereto), no written inquiries
or notices have been received by the Seller in connection with the
Business from any taxing authority with respect to possible claims for
Taxes and the Seller knows of no reason to believe that such an inquiry
or notice is pending or threatened, and there is no basis for any
additional claims or assessments for Taxes. The Seller in connection
with the Business has not agreed to the extension of the statute of
limitations with respect to any Tax Return or tax period. The Seller
has delivered to the Purchaser copies of the federal and state income
or
10
franchise or other type of Tax Returns filed by the Seller in
connection with the Business for the past three years and for all other
past periods as to which the appropriate statute of limitations has not
lapsed.
J. Permits; Compliance with Applicable Law.
(i) General. The Seller is not in default under any,
and has complied with all, statutes, including the Americans with
Disabilities Act, ordinances, regulations, orders, judgments and
decrees of any court or governmental entity or agency, relating to the
Business or the Assets as to which a default or failure to comply might
have a Material Adverse Effect on the Business or the Assets. The
Seller has no knowledge of any basis for assertion of any violation of
the foregoing or for any claim for compensation or damages or otherwise
arising out of any violation of the foregoing. The Seller has not
received any notification of any asserted present or past failure to
comply with any of the foregoing which has not been satisfactorily
responded to in the time period required thereunder.
(ii) Permits. Set forth in Exhibit B is a complete and
accurate list of all permits, licenses, approvals, franchises and
authorizations issued by governmental entities or other regulatory

forth in Exhibit B are all the Permits required for the conduct of the
Business. All the Permits set forth in Exhibit B are in full force and
effect, and the Seller has not engaged in any activity which would
cause or permit revocation or suspension of any such Permit, and no
action or proceeding looking to or contemplating the revocation or
suspension of any such Permit is pending or, to the best of the
knowledge of the Seller, threatened. There are no existing defaults or
events of default or events or state of facts which with notice or
lapse of time or both would constitute a material default by the Seller
under any such Permit. The Seller has no knowledge of any default or
claimed or purported or alleged default or state of facts which with
notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default on the part
of any party in the performance of any obligation to be performed or
paid by any party under any Permit set forth in Exhibit B. Except as
set forth in Exhibit B, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will in no way affect the continuation, validity or
effectiveness of the Permits set forth in Exhibit B or require the
consent of any person.
(iii) Environmental. (a) To the best of the knowledge
of the Seller, the Seller in connection with the Business, has duly
complied with, and the real estate owned by it or subject to the
leases listed in Exhibit B and the improvements thereon, and all other
real estate leased by the Seller in connection with the Business, and
the improvements thereon (all such owned or leased real estate
hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Premises") are in
compliance with, the provisions of all federal, state and local
environmental, health and safety laws, codes and ordinances and all
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, except where the failure
to so comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) To the best of the knowledge of the Seller,

and local permits, licenses, certificates and approvals relating to (i)
air emissions, (ii) discharges to surface water or ground water,

local law, code or ordinance and all rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, as hazardous or potentially hazardous), or (vi) other
environmental, health and safety matters.
(c) The Seller has not received any notice of,
and knows of no facts which might constitute violations of, any
federal, state or local environmental, health or safety laws, codes or
ordinances, and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder,
which relate to the use, ownership or occupancy of any of the Premises
owned, leased or occupied by the Seller in connection with the
Business. The Seller is not in violation of any rights-of-way or
restrictions affecting any of the Premises or any rights appurtenant
thereto.
(iv) Medicare, Medicaid and CHAMPUS. The Business has
had no net revenues from the Medicare, Medicaid and CHAMPUS programs
during the calendar years 1994, 1995, 1996, and the first four (4)

K. Licenses. The Seller does not produce or distribute any
product nor does it perform any service under a proprietary license
granted by another entity and it has not licensed its rights in
any current or planned products, designs or services to any other
entities. The Seller has the right to use all computer software,
including all property rights constituting part of that computer
software, used in connection with the Business (the "Computer
Software"). A list of all written licenses pertaining to the Computer
Software is set forth in Exhibit B (the "Licenses"). The Seller does
not have any knowledge that any of the Licenses may not be valid or
enforceable by the Seller or that the use of the Computer Software or
any of the Licenses may infringe upon or conflict with the rights of
any third party. The Seller has not granted any licenses to use the
Computer Software or any sub-licenses with respect to any of the
Licenses.

the Seller in connection with the Business (all of the foregoing being
hereinafter referred to as the "Contracts.") The Seller is not in
material default in the performance of any covenant or condition under
any Contract and no claim of such a default has been made and, to the
best of the knowledge of the Seller, no event has occurred which with
the giving of notice or the lapse of time would
12
constitute a default under any covenant or condition under any
Contract, except where such default would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Seller is not a party to any Contract which would
terminate or be adversely affected by the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller in connection
with the Business is not a party to any Contract expected to be
performed at a loss. Originals or true, correct and complete copies of
all written Contracts have been provided to the Purchaser.
N. Compensation. Set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto is a
list of all written or oral agreements between the Business and each
person employed by or independently contracting with the Business with
regard to compensation, whether individually or collectively, and set
forth in Exhibit D is a list of all employees or independent
contractors of the Business entitled to receive annual compensation in
excess of $35,000 and their respective positions, job categories and

result in any liability for severance pay to any employee or
independent contractor of the Business. The Business has not informed
any employee or independent contractor providing services to the
Business that such person will receive any increase in compensation or
benefits or any ownership interest in the Business.
O. Employee Benefit Plans. Except as set forth in Exhibit E
attached hereto, neither the Seller nor its parent corporation (the
"Parent") maintains or sponsors, nor are they required to make
contributions to, any pension, profit-sharing, savings, bonus,
incentive or deferred compensation, severance pay, medical, life
insurance, welfare or other employee benefit plan. All pension,
profit-sharing, savings, bonus, incentive or deferred compensation,
severance pay, medical, life insurance, welfare or other employee
benefit plans within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (hereinafter
referred to as "ERISA"), in which the employees of the Business
participate (such plans and related trusts, insurance and annuity
contracts, funding media and related agreements and arrangements being
hereinafter referred to as the "Benefit Plans") comply with all
requirements of the Department of Labor (the "DOL") and the Internal
Revenue Service, and with all other applicable law, and neither the
Seller nor the Parent has taken or failed to take any action with
respect to the Benefit Plans which might create any liability on the
part of the Seller or the Purchaser. Each "fiduciary" (within the

Seller, including, without limitation, in any action or proceeding
between the Seller and the Purchaser or in any action or proceeding
between the Seller and a third party.
C. Procedure for Indemnification. In the event that any party
hereto shall incur (or anticipates that it may incur in the case of
third party claims) any Damages in respect of which indemnity may be
sought by such party pursuant to this Section VIII, the party
indemnified hereunder (the "Indemnitee") shall notify the party or
parties providing indemnification (the "Indemnitor") promptly; in the
case of third party claims, such notice shall in any event be given
within thirty (30) days of the filing or assertion of any claim against
the Indemnitee stating the nature and basis of such claim; provided,
however, that any delay or failure to notify any Indemnitor of any
claim shall not relieve it from any liability except to the extent that
the Indemnitor demonstrates that the defense of such action is
materially prejudiced by such delay or failure to notify. In the case
of third party claims, the Indemnitor shall, within ten (10) days of
receipt of notice of such claim, notify the Indemnitee of its intention
to assume the defense of such claim at its own expense. If the
Indemnitor shall not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation
resulting therefrom, the Indemnitee may defend against any such claim
or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate and the
Indemnitee may settle such claim or litigation on such terms as it may
deem appropriate. In the event that a dispute arises concerning the
obligation of the Indemnitor to assume the defense of a claim, or a
dispute arises concerning a claim hereunder which does not involve a
third party claim, or in the event that there is any other dispute
relating to indemnification, the parties shall submit any such dispute
to arbitration pursuant to Section XI(F) hereof; provided, however,
that the parties agree to negotiate in good faith for a period of at
least sixty (60) days prior to initiating arbitration to resolve any
dispute. If it shall be finally determined that the Indemnitor failed
to assume the defense of any claim for which the Indemnitor is liable
to the Indemnitee for Damages, then the expense of defending the claim
shall be borne by the Indemnitor. Payment of the Damages shall be made
within ten (10) days of a final determination of a claim.
25
A final determination of a claim shall be (i) a judgment of any
court determining the validity of a disputed claim, if no appeal is
pending from such judgment or if the time to appeal therefrom has
elapsed, (ii) an award of any arbitration determining the validity of
such disputed claim, it there is not pending any motion to set aside
such award or if the time within which to move to set such award aside
has elapsed, (iii) a written termination of the dispute with respect to
such claim signed by all of the parties thereto or their attorneys,
(iv) a written acknowledgement of the Indemnitor that he or it no
longer disputes the validity of such claim, or (v) such other evidence
of final determination of a claim as shall be acceptable to the
parties.
