ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
Medical Manager Corporation (the "Company") consummated the
acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Companion Technologies of
Florida, Inc., a South Carolina corporation ("CTF"), and all of the outstanding
common stock of Companion Technologies Corporation of Texas, a South Carolina
corporation, ("CTT" and together with CTF, the "Acquired Companies"), both
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Companion Technologies Corporation ("CTC"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina, Inc., on
December 31, 1997. The purchase price for the assets acquired from CTF was
$1,025,000 in cash, the assumption and payment of CTF's $1,400,000 liability to
CTC, and additional cash payments of $3,075,000 to be paid in various
installments over a two year period. The purchase price for the common stock of
CTT was $975,000 in cash, 14,044 shares of the Company's Common Stock, and
additional cash payments of $2,925,000 to be paid in various installments over
a two year period. The cash component of each purchase price was paid out of
the net proceeds of the Company's initial public offering. Each of the
acquisitions was accounted for as a purchase transaction for financial
accounting purposes. The acquired assets consist primarily of accounts
receivable, inventories, machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures, cash,
and all of the interests, rights and benefits accruing to the Acquired
Companies under any sales orders, sales contracts, supply contracts, service
agreements, and purchase orders. In connection with the acquisitions, the
Company also assumed selected liabilities of the Acquired Companies, consisting
primarily of accounts payable, accrued payroll, and service agreements.
Prior to the acquisition, CTC was a distributor of a private label
version of the Company's software, and CTC's various subsidiaries were
resellers of The Medical Manager(R) software. In connection with the
acquisition, CTC entered into an Authorized Reseller Agreement with Medical
Manager Sales & Marketing, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
thereby becoming an authorized reseller of The Medical Manager software
focusing on South Carolina and other markets in the eastern United States.

In consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants

excluded as provided in Section 1.2 hereof) as shall exist on the Closing Date
(as defined in Section 1.9), whether or not appearing on the Current Balance
Sheet (as defined in Section 3.9) (collectively, the "Purchased Assets").
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchased Assets shall
include the following:
(a) all tangible personal property, including, without limitation,
all machinery, equipment, tools, supplies, leasehold improvements, construction
in progress, furniture and fixtures located at or on the Leased Premises (as

the Company as lessee under the leases covering the Leased Premises and any

tangible assets;
(e) all of the interests, rights and benefits accruing to the Company
under any franchise contracts, sales orders, sales contracts, supply contracts,

Upon request by the Company, Medical Manager shall allow the Company reasonable
access to the books and records necessary for the Company to (i) prepare and
file its tax returns for the periods prior to the Closing Date or otherwise
comply with the requirements of any other Governmental Authority and (ii)
defend any litigation or administrative proceeding (other than with respect to
any litigation or administrative proceeding to which Medical Manager or its
Affiliates are adverse parties or the result of which could have a Material
Adverse Effect upon Medical Manager or its Affiliates).
No patents, patent applications, inventions, know-how, proprietary formulas,
designs or processes, computer software, or similar intellectual property are
being conveyed by the Company to Medical Manager; provided, however, the

- 2 -
<PAGE> 3
the Company using the Data Merge programming language as enhancements to a
Medical Manager software product, and Medical Manager shall have the
unrestricted right to make enhancements and to otherwise modify such DataMerge
programming language.
1.2 EXCLUDED ASSETS Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in Section 1.1, the Purchased Assets shall exclude the following assets of
the Company: (i) the Purchase Price (as defined in Section 1.4) and other rights
of the Company under this Agreement; (ii) the shares of capital stock of the
Company which are owned and held by the Company as treasury shares; and (iii)
the corporate minute books and stock records of the Company and (iv) the name

1.3 ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACTS. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an
assignment of any claim, contract, license, franchise, lease, commitment, sales
order, sales contract, supply contract, service agreement, purchase order,
purchase commitment or other right or benefit if an attempted assignment
thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a
breach thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights of Medical Manager
thereunder. If such consent is not obtained, or if any attempt at an
assignment thereof would be ineffective or would affect the rights of the
Company thereunder so that Medical Manager would not in fact receive all such
rights, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Medical Manager to the
extent necessary to provide for Medical Manager the benefits under such claim,
contract, license, franchise, lease, commitment, sales order, sales contract,
supply contract, service agreement, purchase order, purchase commitment or
other right or benefit, including enforcement for the benefit of Medical
Manager of any and all rights of the Company against a third party thereto
arising out of the breach or cancellation by such third party or otherwise.
1.4 PURCHASE PRICE. As consideration for the Purchased Assets,
Medical Manager agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions and
limitations set forth herein, to pay to the Company an aggregate amount equal to
Four Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,100,000) (the "Purchase Price).

<PAGE> 4
All payments will be made in immediately available funds by wire transfer to
the account designated from time to time by the Company.
1.5 ASSUMED LIABILITIES. Medical Manager agrees to and will at the
Closing assume and agree to pay, discharge and perform when lawfully required
(i) all of the obligations, duties and liabilities of the Company set forth on
the Current Balance Sheet (as defined in Section 3.9), except as provided in
Section 1.6(g),(ii) all of the obligations, duties and liabilities of the
Company incurred after the date of the Current Balance Sheet and on or prior to
the Closing Date in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice, (iii) all of the obligations, duties and liabilities of the Company
incurred in the ordinary course of business prior to the date of the Current
Balance Sheet which, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, were not
required to be recorded on the Current Balance Sheet (and which in the aggregate
are not material) and (iv) all obligations and liabilities under the Contracts
with customers of the Company set forth on Schedule 3.25, and all obligations
and liabilities under the real estate leases set forth on Schedule 3.14 to the
extent that the applicable landlord's consent is obtained but only for those
obligations and liabilities which accrue after the Closing in the ordinary
course of business (collectively, the "Assumed Liabilities"). As a portion of
the Assumed Liabilities, Medical Manager shall pay to the Shareholders the
difference between (x) the amount "Due to Companion", minus (y) the amount "Due
from Companion" as of December 31, 1997 (determined in a manner consistent with
the calculation of such amounts as set forth on the Current Balance Sheet) (the
"Receivables Debt"). At Closing, Medical Manager shall pay to the Company One
Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000) as an estimate of the
Receivables Debt payment (the "Estimated Receivables Debt"). Based upon the
calculation of the Receivables Debt as determined in the audited financial
statements prepared by Coopers & Lybrand, LLP of the Company's financial
statements for the year ending December 31, 1997 (the "Actual Receivables
Debt"), (i) if the Actual Receivables Debt exceeds the Estimated Receivables
Debt, then Medical Manager shall pay such excess to the Company, without
interest, within five (5) business days following completion of such audit, and
(ii) if the Estimated Receivables Debt exceeds the Actual Receivables Debt, then
the Company and the Shareholders shall repay such excess to Medical Manager,
without interest, within five (5) business days following receipt by the Company
of such audited financial statements. If Schedule 3.25 fails to identify a
Contract (an "Omitted Contract"), and Medical Manager elects in writing to
accept any benefits as assignee of the Company under such Omitted Contract (an
"Accepted Contract"), then Medical Manager shall be deemed to have agreed to
assume, pay, discharge and perform the Company's obligations and liabilities
under each such Accepted Contract accruing after Medical Manager's acceptance of
such Accepted Contract.
1.6 EXCLUDED LIABILITIES. Except for the Assumed Liabilities, the
parties expressly agree that Medical Manager shall not assume or otherwise
become liable for any other obligation or liability of the Company (the
"Excluded Liabilities"), including, without limitation, the following:
(a) any liability or obligation of the Company or
any other Person, absolute or contingent, known or unknown, not expressly
agreed to be assumed pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5;
- 4 -
<PAGE> 5
(b) any liability or obligation of the Company
arising under this Agreement;
(c) any liability or obligation of the Company
with respect to, or arising out of, any employee benefit plan, deferred
compensation plan or any other plans or arrangements for the benefit of any
employees or officers of the Company;
(d) any liability or obligation of the Company
under any incentive compensation agreement, consulting agreement, bonus
agreement or employment related settlement agreement;
(e) any obligations or liabilities arising from
or relating to the acquisition (by stock purchase, asset purchase, merger or
otherwise) by the Company or the Shareholders of any Person and all obligations
and liabilities relating thereto;
(f) any liability or obligation of the Company
relating to any default under any Assumed Liability to the extent such default
existed prior to the Closing; and
(g) other than the Receivables Debt, and
notwithstanding Section 1.5 to the contrary, any liability or obligation of the
Company to any of the Shareholders, or to any Affiliate of the Company or the
Shareholders, or to any party claiming to have a right to acquire any shares of
capital stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for any
shares of capital stock of the Company.
(h) any obligations or liabilities arising from
or relating to any of the matters set forth on Schedule 3.12.
1.7 NO EXPANSION OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. The assumption by Medical
Manager of the Assumed Liabilities, the transfer thereof by the Company, and the
limitations of such transfer shall in no way expand the rights or remedies of
any third party against Medical Manager or the Company as compared to the rights
and remedies which such third party would have had against the Company had
Medical Manager not assumed such liabilities. Without limiting the generality
of the preceding sentence, the assumption by Medical Manager of the Assumed
Liabilities shall not create any third-party beneficiary rights.
1.8 ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE. The Company, Medical Manager and
the Shareholders agree that the Purchase Price will be allocated pursuant to the
allocations set forth on Schedule 1.8. In the event Schedule 1.8 is not
attached as of the Closing of this Agreement, the parties will work in good
faith to prepare such a schedule within thirty (30) business days after Closing.
Neither party will take a position contrary to the agreed allocation for state
or federal income tax purposes (or any other purposes) except to the extent
required by Section 1060 of the Code.

Tampa, Florida 33607, on a date selected by Medical Manager within five (5)

amounts payable as interest in respect thereof. Medical Manager covenants and
agrees that (i) any and all actions of any kind that it takes as the Company's
attorney-in-fact or otherwise on behalf of the Company hereunder shall be in
strict compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and shall
not constitute a breach or violation of any legal right of any other person or

to incur any expenses, losses, costs, deficiencies, liabilities or damages
(including, without limitation, counsel and paralegal costs and expenses), and
