Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") for the 12 month
period ending on August 31, 2000, or approximately $2,290,000,
multiplied by 3.71 ("Earnings Multiple").

benefit of ARMT its current receivable financing arrangement
("DVI"). If the amount of outstanding debt for the DVI and the

Adjusted Acquisition Shares shall be returned to Xxxxxx and
the Escrow Shares shall be returned to Xxxxxx.
(v) If the amount of outstanding debt for the DVI, and the
Cyber-Care Funds, if any, as of the Turn Over Date is greater
than the outstanding debt for the DVI, and the Cyber-Care
Funds as of the Closing Date (the " Shortfall"), the number of
Adjusted Acquisition Shares having the value of the Shortfall
shall be retained by Cyber-Care and the remaining Adjusted
Acquisition Shares, if any, shall be returned to Xxxxxx, along
with the Escrow Shares. If the Second Shortfall is greater
than the value of the Adjusted Acquisition Shares, such number
of the Escrow Shares equaling the uncovered Second Shortfall
shall be retained by Cyber-Care, and the remainder of the
Escrow Shares, if any, shall be returned to Xxxxxx.
(vi) If the Second Valuation is the same or greater that the First
Valuation, the Escrow Shares shall be returned to Xxxxxx. If
the Second Valuation is lower than the First Valuation, (the
"Second Shortfall") the number of Escrow Shares having the
value of the Second Shortfall shall be retained by Cyber-Care
and the remaining Adjusted Acquisition Shares, if any, shall
be returned to Xxxxxx, along with the Escrow Shares. If the
Second Shortfall is greater than the value of the Adjusted
Acquisition Shares, such number of the Escrow Shares equaling
the uncovered Second Shortfall shall be retained by
Cyber-Care, and the remainder of the Escrow Shares, if any,
shall be returned to Xxxxxx.
(vii) In no event shall Xxxxxx be required to provide additional
shares or funds should the Shortfall and the Second Shortfall
have a value in excess of the Adjusted Acquisition Shares and
the Escrow Shares.
(viii) Since Xxxxxx has contributed the Acquisition Shares to the
Shareholders on behalf of ARMT, in the event the business is
turned over to the
6
Shareholders in accordance with the foregoing, and in the
event there are Acquisition Shares and/or Escrow Shares to be
returned to Xxxxxx, they shall be delivered to Xxxxxx, in
Xxxxxx'x name, not later than ten (10) business days after the

(ix) In the event that ARMT does not turn over the business in
accordance with this Section 3.2 (c) by the Turn Over Date and
the Shareholders have suffered damages due to the default by
ARMT of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including
the Management Agreement or Business Plan, then the
Shareholders shall be entitled to retain all of the
Acquisition Shares and Escrow Shares as damages. This
provision shall in no way be construed to be the sole remedy
of the Shareholders against Xxxxxx or ARMT pursuant to Section
3.2(c) (ix).

the event the ownership of ARMT vests in Shareholders pursuant to Section 3.2

ARTICLE 12
RELEASE OF RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS
FROM XXXXXX'X STOCK
Xxxxxx owns a substantial number of shares of Cyber-Care voting common stock.
The certificate(s) for such shares bears a restrictive legend (the "Legend")
which is no longer applicable. As an inducement by Cyber-Care to persuade Xxxxxx
to enter into this Agreement, Cyber-Care hereby agrees that it will cause to be
processed, commencing January 1, 2001, and for the next Twenty Four (24) Months,
the removal of such Legend within twenty one (21) calendar days of its receipt
of a request by Xxxxxx on up to Forty Thousand (40,000) Shares per month. Such
request shall be transmitted by facsimile to the office of the Secretary of
Cyber-Care, Inc.. together with properly completed Form 144 sale documentation
by a nationally recognized brokerage firm . In the event Cyber-Care, Inc. fails
for any reason to so process a properly submitted transaction within such twenty
one (21) calendar day period, Cyber-Care hereby submits to the jurisdiction of
any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Florida wherein Xxxxxx shall
be entitled to have the court order Cyber-Care to remove such Legend from all of
Xxxxxx'x certificates for Cyber-Care stock and to deliver all such share
certificates to Xxxxxx immediately. Further, Cyber-Care hereby admits and agrees
that Xxxxxx may be financially damaged by Cyber Care's failure to deliver share
certificates in a timely manner as specified herein and waives any defense for
such failure to timely deliver of any such share certificates, the damages for
which, if not agreed upon with Xxxxxx and paid by Cyber-Care within fifteen (15)
calendar days of Xxxxxx'x demand for payment thereof, will be determined and
enforced by arbitration pursuant to Section 10.12. Cyber-Care understands that
Xxxxxx will be using the proceeds from some of such stock for the payment of
taxes. Should any failure to timely deliver one or more of such certificates to
Xxxxxx cause Xxxxxx to incur interest and penalties regarding any such taxes,
Cyber-Care shall be liable to Xxxxxx for such interest and penalties. If
Cyber-Care and Xxxxxx are unable to agree upon the amount due Xxxxxx as damages
for such interest and penalties within fifteen (15) calendar days of Xxxxxx'x
demand for payment thereof, the amount shall be determined and enforced through
the Arbitration process referred to in Section 10.12. If Cyber-Care and Xxxxxx
agree upon an amount for such damages, such amount shall be paid to Xxxxxx
within five (5) days of such agreement. The rights of Xxxxxx and the obligations
of Cyber-Care in this Article 12 stand-alone. In no event, even including an
alleged breach or breach of the Agreement by ARMT and/or Xxxxxx, will Cyber-Care
ever have any right to refuse to honor its obligations under this Article 12. As
of January 1, 2003 there shall be no limitation on the number of shares which
Xxxxxx may sell.
ARTICLE 13
ADDITIONAL PROVISION
