1.4. Liabilities Not Being Assumed.
The Buyer is not assuming any liabilities or obligations of the Seller
(fixed or contingent, known or unknown, matured or unmatured) whatsoever other
than the Assumed Obligations. For convenience of reference, all liabilities and
-3-
obligations of the Seller not being assumed by the Buyer are collectively
referred to as the "Excluded Obligations." The Seller hereby agrees to pay all
Excluded Obligations as and when such Excluded Obligations become due.
1.5. Instruments of Conveyance and Transfer, Etc.
At the Closing, the Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the
Buyer such deeds, bills of sale, endorsements, assignments and other good and

(except Permitted Liens), including, without limitation, the delivery of a Xxxx

Effective upon the Closing, the Seller hereby constitutes and appoints the
Buyer, its successors and assigns, the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the
Seller with full power of substitution, in the name of the Buyer, or the name of
the Seller, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Buyer, to collect all
Accounts Receivable assigned to the Buyer as provided herein, to endorse,
without recourse, checks, notes and other instruments received in payment of
such Accounts Receivable in the name of the Seller, and to institute and
prosecute, in the name of the Seller or otherwise, all proceedings which the
Buyer may deem proper in order to assert or enforce any claim, right or
-4-
title of any kind in or to the Purchased Assets (provided that the Buyer shall
not, without the consent of the Seller, initiate any such proceeding to collect
on Accounts Receivable acquired hereunder), to defend and compromise any and all
actions, suits or proceedings in respect of any of the Purchased Assets and to
do all such acts and things in relation thereto as the Buyer may deem advisable.
The foregoing powers are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable by
the Seller, directly or indirectly, whether by the dissolution of the Seller or
in any manner or for any reason; provided, however that notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, collections of Medicare and Medicaid Accounts
Receivable shall first be deposited into the Medical Group Collections Account
(as defined in the Management Services Agreement) or such other bank account as
may be required by law and shall thereafter be transferred to an account
designated by the Buyer in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section

paid to the Seller on account of the Accounts Receivable. The Seller shall, at
any time and from time to time after the Closing, upon the reasonable request of
the Buyer, execute, acknowledge, deliver and file, or cause to be executed,
acknowledged, delivered or filed and perform or cause to be performed, all such
further acts, transfers, conveyances, assignments or assurances as may
reasonably be required for better selling, transferring, conveying, assigning
and assuring to the Buyer, or for aiding and
-5-
assisting in the collection of or reducing to possession by the Buyer, any of
the assets, properties, interests in properties or rights being purchased by the
Buyer hereunder. Any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
foregoing shall be borne by the Seller.
1.8. Assignment of Leases.
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this
Agreement shall not constitute an agreement or attempted agreement to assign any
office lease or equipment lease if an attempted assignment thereof, without the
consent of any other party thereto, would constitute a breach thereof or in any
way affect the rights of the Buyer or the Seller thereunder. The Seller shall
use its best efforts, and the Buyer shall cooperate with the Seller, to obtain
the consent of any such third party to the assignment thereof to the Buyer. If
such consent is not obtained, the Seller shall cooperate with the Buyer in any
arrangements reasonably necessary or desirable to provide for the Buyer the
benefits (together with the obligations to perform) thereunder.

ARTICLE II
PURCHASE PRICE; ALLOCATION
2.1. Purchase Price; Payment.
The purchase price (the "Purchase Price") to be paid for the Purchased
Assets shall equal the sum of the following amounts:
(a) $300,000; and
(b) $1,300,000 (the "A/R Amount"), subject to adjustment in accordance
with Section 2.3, which amount is a good faith estimate of the aggregate
face value of all Accounts Receivable outstanding as of the Signature Date
and set forth on Schedule 1.1(e).
2.2. Allocation of Purchase Price.
The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets in a
statement (the "Statement of Allocation") reflecting the allocation set forth in
Schedule 2.2 attached hereto. The parties shall complete their respective tax
returns for the period which includes the Closing Date in a manner that is
consistent with the Statement of Allocation.
2.3. Accounts Receivable Payment.
The portion of the Purchase Price specified in Section 2.1(b) is subject to
adjustment and shall be paid or repaid as follows:
(a) In the event that the aggregate amount of collections received by
the Buyer in payment of the Accounts Receivable (the "A/R Collections"), at
any time prior to the first anniversary of the Signature Date (the
"Determination Date"), exceeds the A/R Amount (such excess amount being
referred
-7-
to herein as an "A/R Balance"), the Buyer shall pay to the Seller on the
last day of the month occurring after the month in which the Buyer first
determines such A/R Balance exists (such month in which the Buyer
determines that an A/R Balance occurred being referred to as the "Threshold
Month") an amount equal to the A/R Balance that had accrued through the
last day of the Threshold Month and, on the last day of each month
occurring thereafter through and including the Determination Date, the
Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount, if any, equal to the A/R Balance
as of the last day of the previous month, less, in each case, the aggregate
amount previously paid pursuant to this sentence. The Buyer shall deliver
to the Seller, within 30 days after delivery of the Final Statement (as
hereinafter defined), a check in an amount, if any, equal to the A/R
Balance as of the Determination Date less the total amount of all payments
made to the Seller prior to such date pursuant to this Section 2.3(a).
Within thirty (30) days after the Determination Date, the Buyer shall
furnish to the Seller a statement (the "Final Statement") setting forth the
A/R Collections, including detail of write-offs of any of the Accounts
Receivable, the remaining outstanding balance of the Accounts Receivable,
and any other detail relating thereto as the Seller may reasonably request.
If, as of the Determination Date, the A/R Collections are less than the A/R
Amount (such deficit being referred to herein as the "A/R Shortfall"), the
Seller shall pay the A/R Shortfall to the Buyer by check in six equal
monthly installments (the first payment due 10 days after delivery of the
Final Statement). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that after
delivery of the Final Statement and payment in full of the A/R Balance or
A/R Shortfall, as the case may be, neither party shall have any other
obligation to the other party with respect to the Accounts Receivable,
except that all remaining uncollected Accounts Receivable (the "Remainder")
shall be turned over to the Seller for disposition in such manner as the
Seller, in its sole discretion, shall determine. If the Buyer or any of its
employees, including any Administrative Personnel (as defined in the
Management Services Agreement)
-8-
assists the Seller, the Practicing Physicians or the Medical Group in
collecting the Remainder, the Seller shall pay the Buyer on the first of
each month a collection fee equal to six percent (6%) of that portion of
the Remainder collected during the preceding month. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Management
Services Agreement is terminated prior to the Determination Date, such date
of termination shall be deemed the Determination Date for purposes of this
Section 2.3(a).
(b) All payments by patients and third party payors shall be accounted
for on a first-in-first-out basis unless any such payment is identified as
a payment in respect of a particular invoice or otherwise is designated as
payment of a particular invoice or for a particular service.
