In order to induce Continucare and the Purchaser to consummate the
transactions under this Agreement, the Seller and the Companies, jointly and
severally, make the following representations and warranties, which are true,
correct and complete in all respects on the date hereof:
2.1 ORGANIZATION AND CORPORATE POWER. Each Company (i) is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and (ii) has all requisite corporate
power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as
presently conducted. The Companies are duly licensed or qualified to do business
as foreign corporations in the respective jurisdictions set forth on SCHEDULE
2.1, and in the jurisdictions wherein the character of their respective
properties, or the nature of their respective activities presently conducted by
them, makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to so qualify
would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 2.1,
no Company, nor Seller with respect to the Business, files franchise, income, or
other Tax returns in any jurisdiction based upon the ownership or use of its
property therein or its derivation of income therefrom, and no proceeding
relating to the dissolution or merger of the Companies or the amendment of their
respective certificates of incorporation is pending or has been commenced or is
contemplated. Neither the Seller nor any Company is in violation in any material
respect of its certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws. A true and
correct copy of each of the certificates of incorporation and bylaws of the
Seller and each Company, as amended to date, has been furnished to the
Purchaser.
2.2 AUTHORIZATION. The Seller and each Company has all
necessary corporate power and authority, and has taken all necessary corporate
action, including shareholder consent, required for the due authorization,
execution, delivery and performance by them of this Agreement and the Related
Agreements to which they are a party, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated herein or therein. This Agreement is, and upon execution and
delivery, the Related Agreements to which the Seller or any Company is a party
will be, valid and binding obligations of the Seller and such Company,
2
6
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such
enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or
similar laws which affect creditors' rights generally.
2.3 TITLE TO AND VALIDITY OF SHARES; IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS.
Except as set forth on Schedule 2.3, the Seller has good and marketable title to
and unrestricted power to vote and sell the Shares designated as owned by the
Seller, free and clear of any Lien and, upon purchase and payment therefor by
Purchaser, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser will obtain
good and marketable title to all such Shares free and clear of any Lien. All
Shares owned by the Seller have been duly authorized and validly issued and are
fully paid and non-assessable. All Shares are registered in the name of the
Seller. Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.3, the Companies have no subsidiaries
nor any investment or other interest in any Person. SCHEDULE 2.3 sets forth the
employer identification numbers, and the Medicare or Medicaid numbers used by
the Companies in connection with the Business.

property comprising such Company's assets held for use or used in connection
with such Company's Business (the "Assets"), and has good and valid title to all
such personal property (tangible and intangible) (or in the case of personal
property which is leased or licensed to it, such Company has the right to use
such personal property superior in right to all others), subject to no Liens
other than Permitted Liens (as defined below). Except to the extent it would not
have a Material Adverse Effect, all of such personal property comprising
equipment, improvements, furniture and other tangible personal property, whether
owned or leased, is functioning in the manner and for the purpose for which it
was intended, and is suitable to enable Purchaser to operate the Business in a
normal manner. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(a), neither Seller nor any
Company has granted any option or other right to acquire any portion of the
Shares, Assets or the Business other than pursuant to this Agreement, which
option or right is in effect on the date hereof. There are no pending or, to the
Knowledge of Seller, threatened condemnation proceedings relating to any of
leased properties used in connection with the Business.
(b) "Permitted Liens" means:
(i) each lien set forth on Schedule 2.4(b) hereto;
(ii) carriers', warehouseman's, mechanics,
materialmen's, repairmen's or other like liens arising in the
ordinary course of business which do not exceed $50,000 in the
aggregate;
(iii) deposits to secure the performance of bids,
trade contracts (other than for borrowed money), leases,
statutory obligations, surety and appeal bonds, performance
bonds and other obligations of like nature incurred in the
ordinary course of business, provided that each such deposit
shall be included in the Assets;
(iv) pledges or deposits in connection with worker's
compensation, unemployment insurance, and other social
security legislation;
(v) judgment liens which, in the aggregate, secure
amounts not in excess of $50,000 and which are in existence

adequate cash reserves have been established and with respect
to which execution has been stayed or the payment of which is
covered in full (subject to a reasonable and customary
deductible) by insurance; and
3
7
(vi) liens for the payment of taxes accrued but not
yet payable.
2.5 GOVERNMENT APPROVALS. No consent, approval, license or
authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental
Authority is or will be required on the part of the Seller or any Company in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller or such
Company of this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements, except for those the
absence of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Effect. No claim is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, threatened to
the effect that the operations of any Company infringe upon or conflict with the
asserted rights of any other person under any material Intellectual Property,
and Seller has no knowledge of any such claim (whether or not pending or
threatened). No claim is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, threatened
to the effect that any such material Intellectual Property owned or licensed by

respecting employment discrimination, equal opportunity, affirmative action,
employee privacy, wrongful or unlawful termination, workers' compensation,
occupational safety and health requirements, labor/management relations and
unemployment insurance" or related matters and there are no threatened or
pending claims relating thereto, in each case, except to the extent such
noncompliance or claims would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) there is
no labor strike, dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending or, to the knowledge of
Seller, threatened against or affecting the Business, and neither Seller nor any
Company has experienced any work stoppage or other labor difficulty affecting
the Business in the last year which would have had a Material Adverse Effect,
and (c) except as set forth on SCHEDULE 2.14 OR 2.19(b), in the event of
termination of the employment of any Employee, Purchaser will not, pursuant to
any agreement with Seller or any Company or by reason of any representation made
or plan adopted by Seller or any Company prior to the Closing, be liable to any
employee for so-called "severance pay" parachute payments or any other similar
payments or benefits, including, without limitation, post-employment healthcare
(other than pursuant to COBRA) or insurance benefits. Except as disclosed on

have a Material Adverse Effect. All of such Licenses and Permits are listed on

(or that are required to be listed on SCHEDULE 2.15), except to the extent same

the Code and Treasury regulations section 1.338(h)(10)-1(d) and any
corresponding election under state, local, or foreign tax law (the "Elections")
with respect to the purchase and sale of the stock of each of the Companies. If
Seller is not the common parent of a "selling consolidated group" of which the
companies are members, as that term is defined under Treasury Regulations
section 1.338(h)(10)-1(c), Seller shall cause the person that is the common
parent with respect to the Companies to join in making the Elections with
Purchaser. (The person authorized to make the Elections with respect to the
Companies is referred to as the "Authorized Person" herein). Seller and

1.338(h)(10)-1(f)) for Purchaser's purchase of the Companies shall be allocated
among the assets in accordance with the provisions of that section. Such
allocation (the "Assets Allocation") shall be agreed to by Seller and Purchaser

no later than 75 days prior to the date the Election Forms are required to be
filed. In the event of any dispute with regard to the content of any Election
Form (including any dispute concerning the Asset Allocation), the parties shall
diligently attempt to resolve such dispute. If they have not done so by the
thirtieth day prior to the date the election form in question is required to be
filed, the dispute shall be resolved by a nationally recognized firm of
independent auditors acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser (the "Accounting
Firm") at least 10 days prior to the time the Election Form is required to be
filed. Seller shall promptly cause the Election Forms to be duly executed by the
Authorized Person and shall return such Election Forms to Purchaser. Purchaser
shall duly and timely file the Election Forms in accordance with applicable tax
laws and the terms of this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser shall take or cause
to be taken any other actions that are necessary for making or perfecting the
Elections. Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of the Election Forms as
filed. Seller and Purchaser shall report all transactions pursuant to this
Agreement in a manner that is consistent with the Elections and shall take no
position contrary thereto unless required to do so pursuant to a "determination"
within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code or an analogous provision under
state, local, or foreign tax law. Purchaser and Seller shall each pay one-half
of the cost of any fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm. The parties agree
that a violation of the provisions of this Section 4.7 is a proper subject of
injunctive relief.
14
18
4.8 TAX EFFECT OF PAYMENTS. Purchaser and Seller agree that
any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be treated
for tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless otherwise
required by applicable law.

damages, claims, losses, penalties, liabilities, actions, fines, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and

or with respect to the following items (i) any misrepresentation or breach of
warranty under this Agreement or any Related Agreements, or (ii) any failure to
fulfill any agreement or covenant on the part of any Seller or Company in this
Agreement; or (iii) any assertion or claim against Purchaser or Continucare of
any Non-Assumed Obligations (iv) any and all actions, suits, proceedings,

incident to any of the foregoing; provided that the Seller's maximum aggregate
liability under this Section 5.2(a) shall not exceed $2,500,000 (the "Indemnity
Cap"). It is expressly understood that Seller's liability, if any, resulting

following items: (i) any misrepresentation, breach of any warranty, or failure
to fulfill any agreement or covenant on the part of Purchaser or Continucare
under this Agreement or any Related Agreements, (ii) any Loss arising out of the
operation or ownership of the Assets or the operation of the Business after the
date hereof, (iii) any Loss arising in respect of any stated monetary obligation
(including severance and benefits) contained in any of the Executive Employment
Agreements, whether accruing prior to or after the date hereof, other than
Non-Assumed Obligations, (iv) any obligations arising under the Executive
Employment Agreements after the date hereof, and (v) any and all actions, suits,
proceedings, judgments, settlements (to the extent approved or entered into by
Purchaser as hereinafter provided), costs, penalties and legal and other
expenses incident to any of the foregoing, PROVIDED that the maximum aggregate
liability of the Purchaser and Continucare shall not exceed $2,500,000 under
this Section 5.2(b). It is expressly understood that Purchaser's liability, if
any, resulting from fraud or from any Loss arising out of the ownership and
operation of the Assets or the
15
19
operation of the Business after the date hereof shall be excluded from the
Indemnity Cap.
(c) Any claim for indemnification under this SECTION 5.2 must
be asserted by written notice by a date which is nine (9) months following the

covenants herein may be asserted until the applicable period of limitations for
breach shall have expired, and (ii) any claim based upon a claim relating to the
Non-Assumed Obligations or fraud may be asserted with no such time limitation.
(d) If any action or proceeding be commenced, or if any claim,
demand or assessment be asserted, in respect of which any party ("Indemnitee")
proposes to hold any other party ("Indemnitor") liable under the indemnity
provisions of this SECTION 5.2 (a "Claim"), then if the Indemnitor shall, at its
option, acknowledge its indemnification obligation and notify indemnitee of its
election to contest or defend any such Claim, such Indemnitor shall be entitled,
at its sole cost and expense, to contest or defend the same with counsel of its
own choosing, and Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect thereto
or settle, compromise, pay or discharge the same without the prior written
consent of the Indemnitor so long as any Indemnitor is contesting or defending
the same in good faith, and Indemnitee (and its successors and assigns) shall
cooperate with the Indemnitor in the contest or defense thereof (and the
Indemnitor shall reimburse Indemnitee for the Indemnitee's reasonable actual
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation) and
Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement with respect thereto recommended by
Indemnitor so long as the amount of such settlement is paid by the Indemnitor
and no obligation to perform or refrain from performing any act shall be imposed
upon Indemnitee by reason thereof and such settlement otherwise is reasonable.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnitee shall be
entitled to conduct its own defense at the reasonable cost and expense of the
Indemnitor if not doing so would materially prejudice the Indemnitee due to the
nature of any claims or counterclaims presented or by virtue of a conflict
between the interest of the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, and provided further
that in any event the Indemnitee may participate in such defense at its own
expense. If Indemnitee shall have given Indemnitor at least thirty (30) days
prior written notice that it intends to assume the defense of any Claim and if
the indemnitor fails to assume the defense of such Claim as provided above by
the end of such thirty (30) day period or such later reasonable time (which
shall be such period of time as will not result in prejudice to the rights of
the Indemnitee), then the Indemnitee shall have the right to prosecute and
conduct its own defense by counsel of its choice, and in connection therewith
shall have full right to conduct the defense thereof and to enter into any
compromise or settlement thereof with the consent of the Indemnitor (which shall
not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed). Such defense shall be at
the cost and expense of the Indemnitor if it is subsequently determined that the
Indemnitor was obligated to defend or indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to
such action, proceeding, claim, demand or assessment.
(f) Any claim of indemnification against Seller shall, once
such claim has been resolved by written agreement or has culminated in a final
nonappealable determination rendered either by binding arbitration or by a court
of competent jurisdiction, be satisfied by offsetting such amount against the
Note; provided that, if any amount under the Note is otherwise due and payable
to Seller while any such claim is outstanding, Purchaser and Continucare shall
pay into an interest bearing escrow account the amount of the indemnification
(subject to the Indemnification Cap) which Purchaser in good faith claims to be
owing from Seller, rather than paying such amount to Seller, until such claim is
resolved. If there remains unsatisfied claims after such offset, Continucare and
Purchaser shall have full recourse against the Seller for payment of such
balance (subject to the Indemnification Cap).

that such coverages are in effect immediately prior to the Closing. Purchaser
shall, upon demand, promptly reimburse IHS for all costs associated with such
insurance coverage for the Business after the Closing, including all premiums,
