respects as of the Closing Date as if made on the Closing Date; and
(d) the other documents and instruments referred to in Section 5
hereof.
1.7 Adjustment to Number of Shares and Units.
(a) Reduced Number of Shares and Units to Be Held in Trust. The
number of shares of the Company's common stock and Series A preferred stock
delivered to MiraQuest at Closing and the number of membership units of
MiraQuest to be delivered to the Company at Closing shall be reduced if the
loans to the Company from MiraQuest that are canceled at Closing pursuant to
Section 1 .3(b)(iii) are less than $900,000. The amount of such reduction shall
be determined by the following steps:
(1) subtract the amount of loans canceled at Closing
pursuant to Section l.3(b)(iii) from $900,000 (the
"Resultant");
(2) divide the Resultant from Step (1) by $2,000,000 (the
"Percentage");
(3) multiply the Percentage from Step (2) by the number of
shares of the Company's common stock and Series A
preferred stock being purchased by MiraQuest pursuant to
Section 1.2; and
(4) multiply the Percentage from Step (2) by the number of
membership units of MiraQuest being delivered to the
Company pursuant to Section 1 .2.
The number of shares calculated in Step (3) shall be held, in trust, by
the Company's attorney and the number of membership units calculated in Step (4)
shall be held, in trust, by MiraQuest's attorney.
(b) Payment of Additional Amounts. If and when MiraQuest pays the
amount calculated in Step (1) to the Company, the Company's attorney shall
deliver to MiraQuest the shares it is holding in trust and MiraQuest's attorney
shall deliver to the Company the membership units of MiraQuest it is holding in
trust. If MiraQuest pays less than the full amount calculated in Step (1), then
the Company's attorney shall deliver a number of shares and MiraQuest's attorney
shall deliver a number of membership units in the same proportion that the
amount paid bears to the amount calculated in Step (1).
(c) Termination of Trust Arrangements. The trust arrangement with
the Company's attorney for holding the shares and with MiraQuest's attorney for
holding the membership units calculated in Section 1.7(a) shall terminate on
December 31, 2000. If there are any shares being held by the Company's attorney
at that time, such shares shall be returned to the Company and if there are any
membership units being held by MiraQuest's attorney at that time, such
membership units shall be returned to MiraQuest.
1.8 Treatment of Loans to the Company From MiraQuest. In the event that
Closing does not occur by August 15, 2000, or such other date as agreed to by
the parties, then the loans to the Company from MiraQuest referenced in Section
1.3 shall not be canceled but shall be converted into the Company's common stock
and warrants as follows: for each $2 of monies loaned to the Company by
MiraQuest, MiraQuest shall receive (i) one share of common stock of the Company
plus (ii) two warrants, which shall vest immediately, to purchase two shares of
common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $2 per warrant.

2.9 Compliance with Laws; Permits. To the best of its knowledge, the
Company is not in violation, in any material respect, of any applicable statute,
law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order or restriction of any domestic or
foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof in respect of the
conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties and assets, including
without limitation, regulations concerning hazardous or toxic wastes, materials
or substances, pollutants or contaminants and tax statutes and regulations, the
violation of which would materially and adversely affect the business, assets,
liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) operations or prospects of the
Company. The Company has all franchises, permits, licenses and any similar
authority ("Governmental Authorizations") necessary for the conduct of its
business as now being conducted by it, the lack of which or failure to obtain
would materially and adversely affect the business, properties, condition
(financial or otherwise), operations or prospects of the Company, and believes
it can obtain, without undue burden or expense, any similar authority for the
conduct of its business as planned to be conducted. All such Governmental
Authorizations are in full force and effect, and no violations have been
communicated in writing to the Company in respect of same and no proceeding is
pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened toward the revocation of any
such franchises, licenses, permits and any similar authority. The Schedule of
Exceptions contains a complete and accurate list of each Governmental
Authorization that is held by the Company or that otherwise relates to the
business of, or to any of the assets owned or used by, the Company. The listed
Governmental Authorizations collectively constitute all of the Governmental
Authorizations necessary to permit the Company to lawfully conduct and operate
its business in the manner it currently conducts and operates the business and
to permit the Company to own and use its assets in the manner in which it
currently owns and uses the assets.
2.10 Compliance With Other Instruments. The Company is not, and will not
by virtue of entering into and performing this Agreement, the Related Agreements
or the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, respectively, be in
violation or default in any material respect of any provision of its Charter
Documents or of any term or provision of any mortgage, indenture, contract,
lease agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound or
of any judgment, order, writ, decree or to its knowledge, statute, rule,
regulation or restriction applicable to the Company which could have a material
adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or
otherwise), operations or prospects of the Company. The execution, delivery and
performance by the Company of this Agreement and the Related Agreements, the
issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant hereto and pursuant to the Series A
Preferences, and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, will not, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice,
result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute a default
under any of the above, or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien,
charge, or encumbrance upon any of the properties or
assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or
non-renewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the
Company, its business or operations, or any of its assets or properties. The
Company has avoided every condition, and has not performed any act, the
occurrence of which would result in the Company's loss of any material right
under any license, permit, contract or any other agreement.
2.11 Related-Party Transactions. No employee, officer, stockholder or
director of the Company or member of his or her immediate family is indebted to
the Company, nor is the Company indebted (or committed to make loans or extend
or guarantee credit) to any of them, other than (i) for payment of salary for
services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred on behalf
of the Company, and (iii) for other standard employee benefits generally made
available to all employees (including stock option agreements outstanding under
any stock option plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Company). To the
best of the Company's knowledge, none of such persons has any direct or indirect
ownership in any firm or corporation with which the Company is affiliated or
with which the Company has a business relationship, or any firm or corporation
that competes with the Company, except that employees, stockholders, officers or
directors of the Company and members of their immediate families may own stock
in publicly-traded companies that may compete with the Company. To the best of
the Company's knowledge, no officer, director or stockholder or any member of
their immediate families is, directly or indirectly, interested in any material
contract with the Company (other than such contracts as relate to any such
person's ownership or capital stock or other securities of the Company). The
Company is not a guarantor, surety or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any
other person, firm or corporation.
2.12 Agreements; Action.

advances for travel expenses, or (iv) sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of

ordinary course of business.
(d) For the purposes of subsections (b) and (c) above, all
indebtedness, liabilities, agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts
and proposed transactions involving the same person or entity (including persons
or entities the Company has reason to believe are affiliated therewith) shall be
aggregated for the purpose of meeting the individual minimum dollar amounts of
such subsections.
(e) The Company is not a party to and is not bound by any contract,
agreement or instrument, or subject to any restriction under its Charter
Documents, as the same have been amended, which materially and adversely affects
its business as now conducted or as proposed to be conducted, its properties or

assemble, license, market or sell its services or products to any other person

develop, manufacture, assemble, distribute, market or sell its services or
products.
2.13 Title to Property and Assets; Leases. The Company has good and
marketable title to its property and assets, and good title to its leasehold
interests and estates, in each case free and clear of all mortgages, liens,
claims, encumbrances and charges, other than (i) liens for current taxes not yet

of business for obligations not past due to common carriers, warehousemen,
laborers, materialmen, and the like, (iii) liens in respect of pledges or

leased or used by the Company are in good operating condition and repair and are
reasonably fit and usable for the purposes for which they are being used.

any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to the patents,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses,
information and other proprietary rights and processes of any other person or

conducting its business as proposed, would violate or infringe any of the
patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights or trade secrets or
other proprietary rights of any other person or entity, nor is the Company aware

obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of
arty nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of

conducted. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement and the Related
Agreements, nor the carrying on of the Company's business by the employees of
the Company, nor the conduct of the Company's business as proposed will, to the
best of the Company's knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the
terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract,
covenant or instrument under which any employee is now obligated. The Company
does not believe it is or will be necessary to utilize any inventions, trade
secrets or proprietary information of any of its employees made prior to their
employment by the Company, except for inventions, trade secrets or proprietary
information that have been assigned to the Company.
2.16 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
pending or to the Company's knowledge, currently threatened against the Company
or its properties before any court or governmental agency, that questions the
validity of this Agreement or the Related Agreements or the right of the Company
to enter into any of such agreements, or to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, or which might result, either individually or in
the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the business, assets,
liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) operations or prospects of the
Company, or any change in the current equity ownership of the Company, nor is
the Company aware that there is any basis for the foregoing. The foregoing
includes, without limitation, actions pending or threatened (or any basis
therefor known to the Company) involving the prior employment of any of the
Company's employees, their use in connection with the Company's business of any
information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former
employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior employers. The
Company is not a party or subject to the provisions of any
order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency
or instrumentality. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the
Company currently pending or which the Company intends to initiate.

to (and none of its assets or properties is bound by or subject to) any written
or oral, express or implied, contract, commitment or arrangement with any labor
union, and no labor union has requested or, to the knowledge of the Company, has
sought to represent any of the employees, representatives or agents of the
Company. There is no strike or other labor dispute involving the Company
pending, or to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, which could have a
material adverse effect on the assets, properties, financial condition,
operating results or business of the Company, nor is the Company aware of any
labor organizing activity involving its employees. Each employee of the Company
is employed on an at-will basis. To its knowledge, the Company has complied in
all material respects with all applicable state and federal equal employment
opportunity laws and with other laws related to employment. To the knowledge of
the Company, no employee of the Company, nor any consultant with whom the
Company has contracted, is in violation of any term of any employment contract,
proprietary information agreement or any other agreement relating to the right
of any such individual to be employed by, or to contract with, the Company
because of the nature of the business to be conducted by the Company that would
have a material adverse effect on the Company; and to the Company's knowledge,
the continued employment by the Company of its present employees, and the
performance of the Company's contracts with its independent contractors, will
not result in any such violation that would have a material adverse effect on
the Company. To its knowledge, the Company has not received any notice alleging
that any such violation has occurred.
2.19 Employee Benefit Plans. Except for the group insurance programs

Sheet); the financial statements referred to in this Section reflect the
consistent application of such accounting principles throughout the periods
involved. No financial statements of any Person other than the Company are
required by GAAP to be included in the financial statements of the Company.
Except as set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions, the Company has no
liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether known or unknown and whether

eligible to work for Employer. In the event any legal or administrative action
is commenced against the Employee, Employer or both, arising out of Employee's
former employment by another employer or Employee's illegal action or violation
of one or more of the warranties or representations set forth in this section,

forth in Exhibit B as an activity in which Chief
Executive Officer is engaged on the Effective Date of
this Agreement is initiated.
Chief Executive Officer acknowledges that Company is doing business throughout
the United States, that Chief Executive Officer is reasonably expected to have
contact with Company's customers throughout the United States during the term of
Chief Executive Officer's employment with Company, and that the national
geographic scope of these covenants is reasonably necessary to protect Company's
legitimate business interests.
7. Enforcement.
A. Reasonableness of Restrictions. Chief Executive Officer's
compliance with this Agreement is reasonable and necessary to protect Company's
legitimate business interests, including but not limited to Company's goodwill.
EMPLOYMENT, CONFIDENTIALITY & NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT - 5
B. Irreparable Harm. A breach of Chief Executive Officer's
obligations under this Agreement will result in great, irreparable and
continuing harm and damage to Company for which there is no adequate remedy at
law.
C. Injunctive Relief. In the event Chief Executive Officer
breaches this Agreement, Company shall be entitled to seek, from any court of
competent jurisdiction, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to enforce
the terms of this Agreement, in addition to any and all monetary damages allowed
by law, against Chief Executive Officer.
D. Extension of Covenants. In the event Chief Executive
Officer violates any one or more of the covenants contained in Section 6 of this
Agreement, Chief Executive Officer agrees that the remaining of the term of each
covenant so violated shall be tolled during the period(s) of any such violation
and the pendency of any litigation arising out of any such violation.
E. Judicial Modification. The parties have attempted to limit
the Chief Executive Officer's right to compete only to the extent necessary to
protect Company from unfair business practices and/or unfair competition. The
parties recognize, however, that reasonable people may differ in making such a
determination. Consequently, the parties hereby agree that, if the scope or
enforceability of the restrictive covenant is in any way disputed at any time, a
court or other trier of fact may modify and enforce the covenant to the extent
that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances existing at that time.
F. Attorney Fees. In the event it becomes necessary for either
party to this Agreement to institute a suit at law or in equity for the purposes
of enforcing any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover said party's reasonable attorney's fees, plus court costs
and expenses, from the nonprevailing party.
G. Withholding from Final Paycheck. Chief Executive Officer
expressly authorizes Company to withhold and deduct from Chief Executive
Officer's final wages any amounts owed by Chief Executive Officer to Company at
the time of the termination of employment, including but not limited to, any
draw deficiencies, reimbursement for unearned commissions, and the value of
unreturned or damaged Company property. Chief Executive Officer further
expressly agrees to repay to Company any additional sums owed by Chief Executive
Officer to Company (above that which may be withheld) immediately upon
termination of Chief Executive Officer's engagement. If the Company owes the
Chief Executive Officer amounts exceeding those that the Chief Executive Officer
may owe the Company as outlined above, the Company agrees to pay this amount at
the time of the final paycheck. This amount would include all monetary and stock
compensation that may have been accrued but not paid by the Company to Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxx, whether acting in the role of Chief Executive Officer or prior roles of
Medical Director and Chief Medical Officer.
Indemnity. Chief Executive Officer warrants and represents
that Chief Executive Officer has not violated, is not violating, and will not
violate any of the terms or conditions of any prior employment agreement,
noncompetition or other restrictive covenant, or other agreement entered into by
Chief Executive Officer while in the employment of any other employer; that
Chief Executive Officer has not given and will not give to Company at any time
EMPLOYMENT, CONFIDENTIALITY & NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT - 6
any customer list, trade secret, or any other item of confidential information,
obtained or received while in the employment of any other employer; that Chief
Executive Officer's engagement with Company is not restricted or limited in any
way by any such engagement agreement or restrictive covenant or by operation of
any state, federal or local regulation, statute or other law of any kind, name
or nature, including but not limited to trade secret laws and immigration laws;
and that Chief Executive Officer is in all respects duly qualified and eligible
to work for Company. In the event any legal or administrative action is
commenced against the Chief Executive Officer, Company or both, arising out of
Chief Executive Officer's former employment by another employer or Chief
Executive Officer's illegal action or violation of one or more of the warranties
or representations set forth in this section, Chief Executive Officer agrees to
indemnify Company for all damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorney fees, which Company may incur and/or be required to pay in connection
with such legal or administrative action. In the event any legal or
administrative action is commenced against the Company, the Chief Executive
Officer or both, arising out of any matter involving the Company, Company agrees
to indemnify Chief Executive Officer for all damages, costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorney fees, which Chief Executive Officer may incur
and/or be required to pay in connection with such legal or administrative
action, so long as such action does not arise pursuant to the conduct of the
Chief Executive Officer.
9. Miscellaneous.
A. Survival. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date
first written above and that the terms of this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect not only during the continuation of Chief Executive Officer's
engagement, but also after the termination of engagement for any reason by
Company or Chief Executive Officer.
B. Waiver. Failure of the Company to exercise or otherwise act
with respect to any of its rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as
a waiver of any breach, nor prevent the Company or Chief Executive Officer from
thereafter enforcing strict compliance within any and all terms of this
Agreement.
C. Severability. If any part of this Agreement shall be
adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, as to duration, territory or
otherwise, then such part shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement or
amended, as the case may be, in order to render the remainder of this Agreement
valid an enforceable.
D. Agreement Binding. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of Company, Company's successors and assigns, Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Executive Officer's heirs, executors, administrators
and legal representatives.
