cured within any applicable grace or cure period, HMCA, Dynamic, Fonar, and
every direct and indirect subsidiary of Fonar, will, not directly or
indirectly: (i) form, own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in
the formation, ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected
in any manner with, any business (whether as an officer, director, stockholder,
employee or otherwise) (x) involving the management of, or the provision of
management services to, any physical therapy and rehabilitation practice,
within a radius of ten (10) miles of any physical therapy and rehabilitation
practice now managed by HMCA, Dynamic or Fonar or any direct or indirect
subsidiary of Fonar which will be managed by the Buyer upon the consumption of
this transaction; (ii) solicit, divert, take away or attempt to take away any

diagnostic imaging facility or purchasing and holding shares of stock of a
competitor of the Buyer which are traded on any national or regional stock
exchange or on the NASDAQ System as long as the shares owned by HMCA and
Dynamic at any one time do not exceed three percent (3%) of the total shares of
such class outstanding and provided further neither HMCA nor Dynamic exercises
any control over or performs any executive, management or other services for
such competitor. HMCA and Dynamic agree that the remedy at law for any breach
of the covenants in this Section would be inadequate and that the Buyer would
be entitled to injunctive relief in the case of any such breach. Should it be
held at any time that the restriction placed upon HMCA and Dynamic by this
Section is too onerous and is not necessary for the protection of the Buyer,
HMCA and Dynamic agree that any court of competent jurisdiction may impose any
lesser restriction which such court may consider to be necessary or appropriate
properly to protect the Buyer, but any such determination as to the invalidity
or unenforceability of this covenant shall not affect the validity or
enforceability hereof in any State or other jurisdiction over which such court
does not have jurisdiction.
In consideration of the performance of Buyer's obligations hereunder,
HMCA, Dynamic, Fonar, and each and every direct and indirect subsidiary of Fonar
agree that such entity shall retain any information contained in Business
Material in confidence and shall not, directly or indirectly, use, copy or
publish any of that information or reveal, report, disclose or divulge any of
that information to any third party without the prior written consent of Buyer,
nor assist any person to do so. For purposes of this Agreement, "Business
Material" shall mean all information, written and oral, concerning Buyer, the
Physical Therapy Management Business, or the Assets that is either non-public,
confidential, proprietary or competitively sensitive in nature, including,
without limitation, customer and client lists, names and other information
relating to customer and client contracts, customer and client files, and
methods and strategies relating to negotiating contracts with customers,
clients and persons referring customers and clients. Upon Buyer's request,
each such entity shall promptly deliver to Buyer all written material
containing or reflecting any information containing Business Material and will
not retain any copies, extracts or other reproductions in whole or in part of
such written material, except as needed by Sellers to comply with applicable
laws or any court order as determined by Sellers' counsel in good faith, to
prepare tax returns, for purposes of financial audits, and to respond to any
audit by any governmental agency.
(c) Consents. HMCA and Dynamic shall obtain all consents required to be
obtained by them to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including all third party consents required to assign the Assigned Agreements
to the Buyer. The parties acknowledge and agree that neither Stuart Blumberg
nor Steven Jonas shall be required to provide any personal guarantees or
similar security to any third party for purposes of Sellers obtaining the
consent of a third party to assign the Assigned Agreements to the Buyer, and
that if required by such third party, each Seller agrees to provide any
required guarantee or security or to remain secondarily liable on any Assigned
Agreement.
(d) Further Assurances. From time to time, at the Buyer's request
(whether at or after the Closing) and without further consideration, HMCA and
Dynamic will execute and transfer and will take such other action as the Buyer
may reasonably request in order to more effectively give effect to the
transactions contemplated hereby.
(e) Assigned Agreements. At the Closing, Sellers shall assign the
Assigned Agreements to the Buyer and the Buyer shall assume the post-Closing
obligations of Sellers thereunder, pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth herein and in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement.
(f) Nonassignable Agreements. The parties acknowledge that it is
impractical for Sellers to obtain the consent of the relevant third parties
with respect to the agreements listed on Exhibit D-2. Therefore, Sellers shall
cooperate with the Buyer in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide for
the Buyer the benefits of such agreements, including enforcement of any and all
rights of Sellers against the other party thereto arising out of a breach or
cancellation thereof by such other party or otherwise and the right to purchase
any of the relevant equipment at the end of the lease term or otherwise. The
Buyer shall perform all such obligations on each agreement on the Sellers'
behalf or in the Buyer's discretion otherwise reimburse the Sellers for
payments made for the benefit of the Buyer (provided, however, that the Sellers
shall first have provided the Buyer with written evidence to the Buyer's
reasonable satisfaction that the Sellers actually have made such payments for
which they are being reimbursed), in either case as provided in the Assignment
and Assumption Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit G.
(g) Vendor Relationships; Missing Agreements. The parties acknowledge
that the Sellers have certain vendor relationships that may be relevant to the
Physical Therapy Management Business, as listed on Exhibit D-3, that derive
from agreements or relationships in which a Seller is not a party, derive from
relationships in which there is no agreement, or derive from agreements that
Sellers cannot locate. Sellers shall cooperate with the Buyer in any
reasonable arrangement designed to provide for the Buyer the benefits of such
agreements or relationships, including enforcement of any and all rights of
Sellers against the other party thereto arising out of a breach or cancellation
thereof by such other party or otherwise. The Buyer shall perform all such
obligations on each agreement or relationship on the Sellers' behalf or in the
Buyer's discretion otherwise reimburse the Sellers for payments made for the
benefit of the Buyer (provided, however, that the Sellers shall first have
provided the Buyer with written evidence to the Buyer's reasonable satisfaction
that the Sellers actually have made such payments for which they are being
reimbursed), in either case as provided in the Assignment and Assumption
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit G.
9. Covenants of the Buyer. The Buyer covenants and agrees with the
Sellers that:
(a) Books and Records. After the Closing, the Buyer will permit HMCA,
Dynamic and their representatives, at such reasonable times as they may
request, to inspect and make extracts from any books and records turned over by
HMCA and Dynamic to the Buyer at the Closing for the purpose of preparing any
tax returns, liquidating or complying with other governmental requirements.
(b) Further Assurances. From time to time at HMCA's or Dynamic's request
(whether at or after the Closing) and without further consideration, the Buyer
will execute such instruments and documents and take such other action as HMCA
and Dynamic may reasonably request in order to more effectively give effect to
the transactions contemplated hereby.
10. Conditions of the Buyer's Obligations. The obligations of the Buyer

transactions contemplated hereby and all documents and instruments incident to
such transactions shall be reasonably satisfactory in legal substance and form
to counsel for the Buyer, and the Buyer and its counsel shall have received all
such counterpart originals or certified or other copies of such documents as
they or their counsel may reasonably request.
(f) Assigned Agreements. Sellers shall have assigned the Assigned
Agreements to the Buyer.
11. Conditions of HMCA's and Dynamic's Obligations. The obligations of

performed or complied with them (including, without limitation, all fees and
expenses of their counsel), and the Buyer will pay all costs and expenses
attributable to the performance of and compliance with all agreements and
conditions contained in this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it
(including, without limitation, all fees and expenses of their counsel).
13. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All statements,
representations and agreements contained in any certificate or other instrument
delivered by HMCA and Dynamic pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise made by
them in writing as a condition of, or otherwise in connection with, the
transactions contemplated hereby, shall be deemed also to be representations
and warranties by HMCA and Dynamic hereunder. The representations and
warranties of the parties under this Agreement shall survive the Closing.
14. Indemnification by HMCA and Dynamic. HMCA and Dynamic, jointly and
severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer, Stuart Blumberg and
Steven Jonas from all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, lawsuits,
judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising
from: (a) any material misrepresentation, breach of warranty or breach of
covenant by HMCA, Dynamic or Fonar under this Agreement or the failure of HMCA,
Dynamic or Fonar to perform any obligation required to be performed by it
hereunder; (b) events occurring, conditions existing, or activities of any
Seller following the Closing, related to any Seller's business prior to
Closing, or the assertion against Buyer, Stuart Blumberg or Steven Jonas of a
claim which, if valid, would constitute a liability arising out of or related
to any Seller's business prior to Closing; (c) any Excluded Liability; (d) any
of the matters referenced in Sections 6(f) and/or 6(t) hereunder or in any
Exhibit related thereto; and (e) any arrangement between a Seller and a
Formerly Managed P.C. or a New P.C., and any investigation or other inquiry by
a federal or state agency or any insurance carrier of the Buyer, Stuart
Blumberg and/or Steven Jonas related in any way thereto either directly or
indirectly. There shall be no limit on the aggregate liability of the Sellers
under this Section 14. Any such amount may be satisfied by offsetting any said
liability against any remaining obligations due under the Note.
15. Indemnification by the Buyer. The Buyer shall indemnify and hold
harmless HMCA and Dynamic from all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,
lawsuits, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees):
(a) arising after the Closing from the Assumed Liabilities; and (b) arising
from any material misrepresentations, breach of warranty or breach of covenant
by it under this Agreement or its failure to perform any obligation required to
be performed by it hereunder; provided, however, that the aggregate liability
of the Buyer under this Section and on account of the Purchase Price shall not
exceed the Purchase Price.
16. Indemnification Procedure. In the event that any claim is made with
respect to which a party hereto (an "Indemnified Party") intends to seek
indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall give the party from
which it intends to seek indemnification hereunder ("Indemnifying Party")
prompt written notice of such claim and the Indemnifying Party shall have the
right to assume the defense of the claim with counsel of its own choosing
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, provided that such defense is
conducted with diligence and continuity and provided further that the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such
claim with counsel of its choosing at its expense. The parties shall cooperate
in the defense of any such claim and neither the Indemnifying Party nor the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle or pay any such claim without
the consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
17. Offsets. In the event that HMCA or Dynamic shall be required to
indemnify the Buyer, Stuart Blumberg and/or Steven Jonas pursuant to Paragraph
14 hereof, the amount of any such liability, obligation, loss, claim, judgment,
cost or expense may be deducted from any amounts remaining to be paid on
account of the Note. It shall not be a default if payment of the Note is not
made because of the proper exercise by the Buyer of its rights of offset as
provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount which may
be deducted hereunder with respect to claims as to which a final determination
of the amounts due the Buyer from HMCA and Dynamic has not yet been made, will
be $1,000,000. (For the purposes hereof, "final determination" shall mean the
agreement of the parties or the decision of a court of competent jurisdiction
which has become final and nonappealable.) The remedy provided herein shall
not be exclusive, and the Indemnified Party may elect to pursue other remedies
available at law, in equity or as provided by this Agreement in lieu of such
remedy or concurrently with such remedy.
18. Notices, Et Cetera. All notices, consents and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing (except for those relating to day-to-day
transactions in the ordinary course of business where representatives of the
parties may reach a decision, subsequently to be confirmed in writing) and
shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally, sent by Federal
Express or other overnight courier service, or mailed by first-class,
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed (a) if to HMCA,
Dynamic or Fonar, at 6 Corporate Center Drive, Melville, New York 11747; or at
such other address or addresses as HMCA and Dynamic shall have furnished to the
Buyer in writing, or (b) if to the Buyer, at 160 No. Franklin Street,
Hempstead, New York 11550, Attention: Stuart Blumberg, President, or at such
other address as the Buyer shall have furnished to HMCA and Dynamic in writing.
19. Publicity; Confidentiality. No party to this Agreement shall directly
or indirectly make or cause to be made any public announcements or issue any
notices in any form with respect to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
without the consent in writing of the other parties not to be unreasonably
withheld; provided, however, that: (a) the Buyer shall be permitted to make or
cause to be made any announcement or issue any notice necessary, in the Buyer's
reasonable judgment, to operate the Physical Therapy Management Business; and
(b) Fonar and the Sellers shall be permitted to make or cause to be made any
announcement or issue any notice necessary, in Fonar's counsel's reasonable
judgment, to comply with applicable laws, including applicable securities laws.
20. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by any of the parties
without the express written consent of the other parties hereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any agreement or instrument delivered pursuant
to this Agreement may be assignable to the extent expressly provided therein.
21. Employee Matters. The Buyer may, but shall not be required to, offer
employment to employees employed by the Sellers for the Physical Therapy
Management Business on such terms as the Buyer in its sole discretion deems
appropriate. Sellers shall release any such employees from any and all
obligations of such employees to Sellers pursuant to any confidentiality
agreement (other than with respect to confidential information not related to
the Physical Therapy Management Business), non-competition agreement or similar
agreement that would prohibit or restrict such employees from being employed by
or otherwise providing services to the Buyer. The Buyer shall not assume or be
responsible in any way for the obligations, liabilities or responsibilities (i)
of any employee benefit plan or similar plan of any Seller, (ii) of any Seller,
any affiliate of any Seller or any fiduciary under, arising from, or with
respect to any employee benefit plan or similar plan of any Seller, or (iii) to
any of any Seller's officers, directors, employees and agents, arising from or
related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without
limitation, obligations, liabilities or responsibilities under the WARN Act or
for accrued vacation time, severance or other benefits. The Buyer shall not be
deemed to be a successor employer with respect to the employment of any
employee of any Seller or with respect to any of any Seller's employee benefit
plans or similar plans.
22. Miscellaneous. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto,
embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by the successors and permitted assigns of
such parties. This Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated
only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement
of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The remedies
herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by
law. The headings of this Agreement are for reference only, and shall not
limit or otherwise affect any of the terms or provisions hereof. This
Agreement may be executed in several counterparts and may be executed by the
respective parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be an
original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the laws of the State of New York.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed and delivered in the manner legally binding upon them as of the
date first above written.

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
Agreement made this 28th day of July, 2005 by and between Stuart Blumberg
(the "Employee"), Health Management Corporation of America (the "Employer") and
Fonar Corporation (the "Guarantor").
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, the Employer and the Employee entered into an employment
agreement dated August 20, 1998 (the "Employment Agreement"), and pursuant to
paragraph 18 of the Employment Agreement, the Guarantor guaranteed the
obligations of the Employer under the Employment Agreement;
WHEREAS, the term of the Employment Agreement is ten years;
WHEREAS, HMCA (along with its affiliate Dynamic Healthcare Management,
Inc.) is selling to Health Plus Management Services, LLC, a New York limited
liability company of which the Employee is a member, the portion of its
business relating to the management of physical therapy and rehabilitation
facilities in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of an
Asset Purchase Agreement being executed and delivered concurrently herewith
(the "Asset Purchase Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, in connection with and pursuant to the terms of the Asset
Purchase Agreement, the parties hereto desire to terminate the Employment
Agreement for the consideration and on the terms and conditions provided
herein;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, covenants, terms and
conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Termination of Employment Agreement. The Employment Agreement is
terminated effective as of the date hereof and neither the Employer, Employee
nor Guarantor shall have any further rights or obligations thereunder
(including but not limited to any and all Employer and/or Guarantor rights with
respect to non-competition and confidentiality (other than rights with respect
to confidential information not related to the Physical Therapy Management
Business as such term is defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement)), except for
any compensation, benefits or expense reimbursement to the Employee (including
any bonuses) thereunder accrued but unpaid for periods prior to the effective
date.
2. Bonus. In consideration for the termination of the Employment
Agreement the Guarantor shall issue to the Employee and deliver to the Employee
on the date hereof shares of its common stock having a value at the time of
delivery, determined in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement, of
$800,000 as a termination bonus (the "Bonus Shares").
3. Collection of Accounts Receivable. For a period of up to three (3)
years following the date hereof, the Employee will use commercially reasonable
efforts to assist the Employer in the collection of the presently outstanding
accounts receivable of Alliance Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, P.C.
("Alliance"), which formerly conducted a physical therapy and rehabilitation
practice in Hempstead, New York and Bellmore Medical Practice, P.C.
("Bellmore"), which formerly conducted physical therapy and rehabilitation
practices in Bellmore, New York and Deer Park, New York. Both Alliance and
Bellmore are New York professional corporations managed by HMCA. Such
collection efforts shall be consistent with the past practice of such
professional corporations except to the extent, if any, curtailed by the
Employer and provided that no litigation shall be commenced in the collection
of such accounts receivable without the consent of the Employer. The Employee
shall not be required to incur any legal expenses hereunder but will cooperate
with counsel selected by the Employer in the event of any litigation in
connection with the collection of such accounts receivable. In no event shall
the aggregate liability of the Employee under this Section 3 exceed $200,000,
which shall represent an absolute cap on any such liability. The Employer and
the Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Employee from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which
he may become subject as a result of the performance of his obligations under
this Section 3, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities do not
arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Employee.
4. Compensation for Services. For undertaking the collection
responsibilities referred to in Section 3 of this Agreement, the Employee will
receive on the date hereof shares of Guarantor's common stock having a value at
the time of delivery, determined in accordance with Section 8 of this
Agreement, of $200,000 (the "Services Shares").
5. Validity, Due Authorization and Registration of Bonus Shares and
Services Shares. All of the Bonus Shares and Services Shares to be issued
hereunder have been duly authorized and, when issued in accordance with this
Agreement, will be validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable shares of the
Guarantor's common stock. The Bonus Shares and Service Shares will, when
issued in accordance with this Agreement, be duly registered on an effective
registration statement on an appropriate Form under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, listed for trading on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, and may be sold
by the Employee to the public at any time without limitation or restriction
(except to the extent the Employee agrees to limit the volume of his selling as
provided in Section 6 of this Agreement) and without any further registration
or filing with, or notice to, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any
state securities administrator and without any obligation on the part of the
Employee or any broker to deliver a prospectus. The certificates representing
the Bonus Shares and Service Shares will contain no restrictive legends. The
Employer and the Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Employee from and against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which he may become subject under the Securities Act of 1933 or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration
statement covering the Bonus Shares and Service Shares or an omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, or arise out of or
are based upon an allegation or determination that the Employee was not
entitled to rely upon such registration statement in making resales of the
Bonus Shares or Service Shares or that, in making such resales, the Employee
was an underwriter; and the Company the Guarantor hereby agree to reimburse the
Employee for all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by him in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as and when
such expenses are incurred.
6. Contractual Limitations on Resale. The Employee shall limit the number
of Bonus Shares and Service Shares he publicly sells in a single trading day to
the greater of (i) 10,000 shares, (ii) 10% of the average daily number of
shares of the Guarantor's common stock traded on the NASDAQ System over the
immediately preceding 5 trading days, or (iii) 10% of the number of shares of
the Guarantor's common stock traded on the NASDAQ System on the day he sells.
In the event that the Employee privately sells, assigns, or gifts Bonus Shares
or Service Shares, he shall require the recipients to agree to be bound by the
volume limitations of this Section such that the number of Bonus Shares and
Service Shares sold by the Employee and his transferees in the aggregate do not
exceed the volume limitations of this Section 6.
7. Price Protection. It is intended by the parties that the net proceeds
to be received by the Employee from the sale of the Bonus Shares and Service
Shares, after the deduction of commissions and selling fees, shall be
$1,000,000 in the aggregate (the "Guaranteed Amount"). If the net proceeds
shall be less than $1,000,000, then the Guarantor shall have the option to
continue to issue additional shares having a value equal to the initial and any
subsequent shortfall or paying the shortfall in cash. Any shortfall shall be
paid by Guarantor to the Employee within 30 days following a written demand by
the Employee. Shares which are sold privately or otherwise privately assigned,
transferred or gifted by the Employee are not entitled to the price protection
benefit of this Section, and the value of such shares, calculated as of the
date of their issuance by the Guarantor, shall be deducted from the Guaranteed
Amount. So long as the Employee has not been prohibited from reselling Bonus
Shares and Service Shares as a result of the volume limitations set forth in
Section 6 of this Agreement and so long as the registration statement covering
the Bonus Shares and Service Shares has remained effective and available for
the resale of the Bonus Shares and Service Shares, the value of any shares held
by the Employee for over one year, also valued as of the date of their
issuances, shall also be deducted from the Guaranteed Amount, as being assumed
that after that time, the Employee has decided to hold the shares for
investment and assume the risk inherent therein.
8. Valuation of Shares for Purposes of Issuance. Solely for the purpose
of determining the number of shares to be issued initially hereunder or to
cover any deficiency where the aggregate net proceeds of the shares sold is
less the Guaranteed Amount, the number of shares to be issued shall be
calculated based on the average of the closing prices of Fonar Corporation's
common stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market (or any subsequent relevant exchange
or trading platform) for the five trading days preceding the third day prior
to the day of the anticipated delivery of the stock to the Employee.
Alternatively, the Guarantor and the Employee may jointly elect to use the
value of the shares on the day they are ordered if there appears to be an
upward or downward trend in the price of the Guarantor's common stock.
9. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns,
but may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent
of the others. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
New York without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. This
Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be waived, amended or
terminated unless in writing executed by the parties hereto. The Courts of the
State of New York and Federal Courts sitting in the State of New York shall
have exclusive jurisdiction over any litigation arising from or relating to the
subject matter of this Agreement. The headings herein are for convenience of
reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any provision hereof.

WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Assignors, the Assignee and Fonar Corporation are parties to
an Asset Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the "Asset Purchase
Agreement") pursuant to which the Assignors sold the Assets, as defined
therein, to the Assignee; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the
Assignors have agreed to assign certain agreements, contracts, commitments and
other rights included among the Assets, as of the date hereof, to the Assignee,
and the Assignee has agreed to assume certain liabilities and obligations
thereunder, for periods following the Closing, as provided in the Asset
Purchase Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, covenants and agreements
contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

to the Assignee all of their rights, title and interest in and to the Assigned
Agreements, as defined in Exhibit A to the Asset Purchase Agreement, and the
Buyer hereby assumes and agrees to pay, perform and discharge all of the

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to cause any obligations or
liabilities of Assignors to be assumed by the Assignee if they are not Assumed
Liabilities.
2. Non-Assignable Agreements. With respect to the Non-Assignable
Agreements listed on Exhibit D-2, the Assignors will permit the Assignee to
enjoy all of the rights and benefits under those agreements that the Assignors

and benefits are provided or made available to Assignee shall comply with the
terms of such agreements and shall pay, perform and discharge all of the
post-Closing obligations and liabilities under such agreements, or reimburse
the Assignors for doing so (upon receipt of evidence by the Assignors
supporting such reimbursement reasonably acceptable to Assignee). Any such

respect thereto may be terminated only in accordance with the terms of said
Non-Assignable Agreement, except that the Assignee also shall have the right to

Assumption Agreement shall apply to any agreement referred to in Exhibit D-3
where a copy thereof has been provided to the Assignee or the terms thereof

the Assignee to enjoy all of the rights and benefits under those agreements.
Where there is no agreement or the terms thereof have not been disclosed then
the Assignee shall be responsible for paying for the charges for benefits it
receives, or reimbursing the Assignors for doing so (upon receipt of evidence
by the Assignors supporting such reimbursement reasonably acceptable to
Assignee), but the Assignee may terminate such relationships by giving
reasonable notice to either the Assignors or the provider of benefits.
4. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given as provided in Section 18 of the Asset
Purchase Agreement.
5. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This
Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement constitute the entire agreement
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and may
not be amended, waived or terminated except in a writing signed by all parties
hereto. The headings herein are for convenience of reference only and shall
not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be
subject to, governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
State of New York. Capitalized terms set forth herein and not defined herein
shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Asset Purchase
Agreement. If any conflict exists between the terms of this Agreement and the
terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the terms of the Asset Purchase
Agreement shall govern and control.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
