SELFCARE, INC.
NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Agreement, dated as of June 3, 1997, is among Selfcare, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), the purchasers named on EXHIBIT A attached
hereto (the "Initial Purchasers"), such additional purchasers as may be
identified on such addenda to EXHIBIT A as may be agreed upon by the Company and
such additional purchasers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the
"Additional Purchasers"; and together with the Initial Purchasers, the
"Purchasers") and Pear Tree Royalty Company, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation,
as authorized representative and agent for the Purchasers (the "Authorized
Representative").
The parties hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1
DESCRIPTION OF FINANCING
1.1 Authorization of Sale of Notes. The Company has authorized the
issuance pursuant to this Agreement of up to $7,500,000 aggregate issue price of
its Subordinated Revenue Royalty Notes which shall be in the form of EXHIBIT B
hereto (individually a "Note" and collectively the "Notes"). The issue price for
each Note (the "Issue Price") shall be a multiple of $25,000.
1.2 Initial Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, at the initial closing pursuant to this Agreement (the "Initial
Closing"), the Company shall deliver an executed Note to each Initial Purchaser,
against payment by such Initial Purchaser of the Issue Price for such Note by
check payable to the order of the Company. The Issue Price to be paid by an
Initial Purchaser is set forth opposite the name of such Initial Purchaser on
EXHIBIT A. The Initial Closing shall take place simultaneously with the
execution of this Agreement at the offices of Xxxxx, Xxxx & Xxxxx LLP, Xxx Xxxx
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000.
1.3 Additional Closings.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at one or
more closings subsequent to the Initial Closing (each, an "Additional Closing"),
the Company may issue and sell Notes to one or more Additional Purchasers who
enter into this Agreement by executing one or more counterparts hereof in the
form attached hereto as EXHIBIT C; provided, however, that the aggregate Issue
Prices of all Notes to be issued under this Agreement shall not exceed
$7,500,000.
(b) Each Additional Closing shall take place at such time, date and
place as are mutually agreeable to the Company and the Additional Purchasers
participating in the Additional Closing; provided, however, that no Additional
Closing shall take place after December 31, 1997.
5
(c) At each Additional Closing, the Company shall deliver an executed
Note to each Additional Purchaser participating in the Additional Closing,
against payment by each Additional Purchaser of the Issue Price by check payable
to the order of the Company. The Issue Price to be paid by an Additional
Purchaser shall be set forth opposite the Additional Purchaser's name on an
addendum to EXHIBIT A in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT D. Each addendum
shall be executed by the Company and each such Additional Purchaser, a copy of
each addendum shall be delivered to the Authorized Representative, and each
addendum shall be deemed a part of this Agreement ab initio.
1.4 Total Repayment Amount. The Total Repayment Amount to be set forth on
the face of any Note sold to an Initial Purchaser or Additional Purchaser (the
"Total Repayment Amount") shall be equal to four times the Issue Price of such
Note.
1.5 Subordination. Each of the Notes issued pursuant to this Agreement
shall be subordinated to all existing and future "Senior Indebtedness" of the
Company, as defined and provided for in the form of Note attached hereto as
EXHIBIT B. To the extent provided in the Notes, Senior Indebtedness must be paid
before any Note may be paid.
1.6 Projected Payment Schedule. As required by Section 1.1275-4(b) of the
regulations promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
attached to the form of Note as EXHIBIT I is a projected payment schedule
incorporating projected revenues of the Company. Pursuant to such regulation,
the Company believes that the schedule is not unreasonable; however, there is no
assurance that the actual revenues of the Company will correspond to these
projected revenues, so that the payments actually made under the Notes may
differ from the projected payments on such schedule.
1.7 No Demand. Each of the Purchasers hereby agrees that such Purchaser
will not demand payment from the Company under any Note without the prior
written agreement of Purchasers who hold Notes having not less than a majority
in aggregate of the Total Repayment Amount of all Notes remaining unpaid at that
time (the "Majority of Holders").
SECTION 2
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
The Company hereby represents and warrants to each of the Purchasers as

delivered, shall be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in
accordance with their respective terms except as such enforcement may be limited

application relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors' rights. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Notes have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action of the Company.
Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Notes nor the

violate any provisions of the charter or by-laws of the Company; (b) violate,
conflict with or result in the breach or termination of, or otherwise give any
other contracting party the right to terminate, or constitute a default under
the terms of, any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by
or to which the Company or any of the Company's property or assets may be bound
or subject; (c) result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon
the properties or assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of any such
agreement or instrument; (d) violate any judgment, order, injunction, decree or
award against, or binding upon, the Company or upon the securities, property or
business of the Company; or (e) constitute a violation of any law or regulation
of any applicable jurisdiction.

questions the validity of this Agreement, the issuance of the Notes or any other
actions taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or contemplated hereby.
2.4 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds of the sale of
the Notes as follows: first, to lend to Selfcare Acquisition Corp., a Delaware

facility with Fleet National Bank and certain other lenders and second, for
working capital and other general corporate purposes.
2.5 Brokers or Finders. The Company has not employed any broker or finder
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except U.S.
Boston Capital Corporation, to which the Company has agreed to pay the
following: (a) a commission of eight percent (8%) of the Issue Price received by
the Company for each Note issued pursuant to this Agreement, (b) reimbursement
of reasonable attorney fees and disbursements of counsel to U.S. Boston Capital
Corporation incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Notes and (c)
reimbursement pursuant to a non-accountable expense allowance of up to $5,000 in
other out-of-pocket costs.
2.6 Exemptions from Securities Laws. Subject to the accuracy of the
representations and warranties of the Purchasers set forth in Section 3 hereof
as of the date hereof and as of the date of any closing hereunder, the
provisions of Section 5 of the federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act") are inapplicable to the offering, issuance, sale and delivery of the
Notes, and no consent, approval, qualification or registration or filing under
any state securities or blue sky laws is required in connection therewith except
such as have been obtained or such as may be filed, and will be filed, after the
closing relating to such Notes.

SECTION 3
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND
AGREEMENTS OF THE PURCHASERS
Each Purchaser (severally and not jointly) represents and warrants to the
Company as follows:
3.1 Binding Agreement. This Agreement constitutes a valid and legally
binding obligation of such Purchaser except as such enforcement may be limited
by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general
application relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors' rights.
3.2 Investment Representations.
(a) Any Note to be received by a Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement
will be acquired for investment for such Purchaser's own account, not as a
nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part
thereof, and such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting
participation in or otherwise distributing the same (provided, however, that the
disposition by each Purchaser of such Purchaser's property shall at all times be
within the Purchaser's control). No Purchaser has a contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such person, or to any third person, with respect to any of
the securities of the Company acquired pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Each Purchaser understands that Notes will not be registered
under the Act, on the grounds that the sales provided for in this Agreement and
the issuance of securities hereunder are exempt from registration under the Act
pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that the Company's reliance on such
exemption is predicated in part on such Purchaser's representations set forth
herein.
(c) Each Purchaser represents that such Purchaser has such knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of the Purchaser's investment, and has the ability to bear
the economic risks of such investment. Each Purchaser further represents that
such Purchaser has had access, during the course of the transaction and prior to
any purchase hereunder, to all such information as such Purchaser deemed
necessary or appropriate (to the extent the Company possessed such information
or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) and that such
Purchaser has had, during the course of the transaction and prior to any
purchase hereunder, the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from
the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes and
to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such
information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense)
necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to such Purchaser
or to which such Purchaser had access.
4
8
(d) Each Purchaser understands that the Notes may not be sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of other than pursuant to a registration under
the Act or an exemption therefrom. In particular, each Purchaser is aware that
the Notes may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Act ("Rule
144") unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 applying to such Purchaser and
the Company at the time of such sale are met. Each Purchaser represents that, in
the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Notes, such
Purchaser will sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of such securities
only in a manner consistent with such Purchaser's representations set forth
herein.
3.3 Brokers or Finders. Such Purchaser has not employed any broker or
finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.4 Transfer or Assignment of Note. Each Purchaser agrees that in no event
will such Purchaser make a transfer, assignment or other disposition of any of
the Notes (other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Act) unless and until (i) such Purchaser shall have notified the Company of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of
the circumstances relating to the proposed disposition, (ii) at the expense of
the Purchaser, transferee or assignee, such Purchaser shall have furnished to
the Company an opinion of counsel, which counsel and opinion are reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such disposition may be made
without registration under the Act or qualification under state securities laws,
(iii) the Company shall have received such written representations and
warranties from the transferee or assignee as it shall reasonably require to
assure continued compliance with the Act and such laws and (iv) the transferee
or assignee shall have agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. The opinion of counsel pursuant to clause (ii) shall not be required
in the case of any Purchaser's transfer or assignment of a Note by gift or
bequest or through inheritance to, or for the benefit of, any member or members
of such Purchaser's immediate family.
3.5 Legends. Each Purchaser acknowledges such Purchaser's understanding
that the Notes will bear a legend substantially in the following form until the
Company's counsel determines that the legend is no longer advisable or required:
THIS NOTE IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
AS SET FORTH IN THE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AMONG
THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THIS NOTE AND CERTAIN
OTHERS. ANY TRANSFEREE OF A HOLDER OF THIS NOTE
SHALL, AS A CONDITION OF SUCH TRANSFER, BE
REQUIRED TO BECOME A PARTY TO SUCH AGREEMENT. THE
COMPANY WILL FURNISH A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT TO
THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST
WITHOUT CHARGE.

THE NOTE REPRESENTED HEREBY HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,
AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (i) A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER
SAID ACT OR (ii) THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
and that appropriate stop-transfer orders will be noted on the Company's note
register with respect to all Notes so legended.
3.6 Non-Disclosure. Other than for purposes of enforcement of this
Agreement, each Purchaser agrees to hold in confidence any confidential
information about the Company that such Purchaser has received or hereafter
receives pursuant to any provision of this Agreement under circumstances
indicating the confidentiality of such information until the Company shall have
publicly disclosed such information.

expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed
upon, incurred by, or asserted against the Authorized Representative in any way

notice in this Agreement.
