Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On October 23, 1998, InfoCure Corporation ("InfoCure" or the "Company") acquired
substantially all of the assets, subject to the assumption of approximately $4.6
million of liabilities, of the Healthcare Systems Division ("HSD") of The
Reynolds and Reynolds Company. HSD is currently headquartered in Dayton, Ohio,
and provides healthcare practice management systems principally to the
radiology, anesthesiology and enterprise-wide medical practice and MSO markets.
The aggregate consideration consisted of $40.8 million in cash, a $10.0 million
subordinated, convertible note payable to the seller over five years and a $2.0
million subordinated promissory note payable to the seller within 120 days of
closing, for a total purchase price of approximately $52.8 million. The
convertible note is convertible at InfoCure's option at any time through
September 30, 1999, into shares of InfoCure common stock. The conversion price
is based on the market price of the common stock at the time of conversion. The
cash portion of the purchase price was funded by a term loan from InfoCure's
senior lender. The Company expects to record a one-time pretax charge of
approximately $9.0 million in the quarter ended December 31, 1998 representing
the acquisition of in-process research and development of software.

exclusively in the Acquired Business, and Purchaser agrees to assume certain
identified liabilities of Seller in connection with the Acquired Business, in
each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement.
As an inducement to Seller to enter into this Agreement, Parent has agreed
to guarantee all obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement, whether
currently existing or hereafter arising, pursuant to the Parent Guaranty.
1. ACQUIRED ASSETS. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
---------------
Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, and Seller shall sell, assign and
deliver to Purchaser, in each case effective as of the Effective Time, all
right, title and interest in, to and under the Acquired Assets, free and
clear of any Lien except the Permitted Encumbrances.
2. EXCLUDED ASSETS. Purchaser will not acquire any of Seller's right, title or
---------------
interest in, to or under any of the Excluded Assets.

Purchaser shall assume the Assumed Liabilities effective as of the Effective
Time, and Purchaser shall thereafter perform and discharge the Assumed
Liabilities.

----------------
(a) At Closing, Purchaser will pay the Purchase Price to Seller by

available funds.
(b) The Purchase Price will be subject to adjustment as described on
this Section 5.1(b).
(i) Within ninety (90) days after the Effective Time, Seller will
deliver to Purchaser the Closing Working Capital Statement.
Purchaser will have forty-five (45) days from receipt of the
Closing Working Capital Statement to object to the Closing
Working Capital Statement by written notice to Seller. If Seller
does not receive notice of an objection within such time, the
Closing Working Capital Statement prepared by Seller will be

either Seller or Purchaser may submit the dispute to the
Independent Auditors for resolution, and such resolution will be

Independent Auditors will be borne by Seller and Purchaser in
proportion to the respective differences between their positions
submitted to the Independent Auditors and the final
determination of the Independent Auditors.

greater than the Collar Amount, the actual amount of the
increase shall be the amount of the excess less the Collar
Amount.
(iv) If there is a Purchase Price Adjustment, within ten (10) days
after final determination of the adjustment (whether by
Purchaser's failure to object, agreement of the Parties or
determination by the Independent Auditors), Seller or Purchaser,
as applicable, will pay the applicable amount by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by
Seller or Purchaser, as applicable.

Material Adverse Change. The execution and consummation by Parent of the

Incorporation or Bylaws or any instrument, agreement, judgment or decree
to which Parent is a party, or by which Parent or any of its properties
is bound, (b) be in conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute

State of Delaware. Parent has full power and authority to execute and

8.4 Financing. Attached as Exhibit 15 is a true and correct copy of the
---------
Commitment Letter (Purchaser and Parent acknowledge that their obligation
to close this Agreement is not subject to any condition relative to the
financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter or any other financing).

required of Purchaser's or Parent's lenders as a condition to execution
or performance of the Purchaser Agreements or the Parent Agreements
(including a commitment by all parties to the Subordination Agreement
other than Seller to execute and deliver the Subordination Agreement at
Closing) and Purchaser has delivered a correct and complete copy of all
such consents and approval to Seller.
8.5 No Breach by Seller. To Purchaser's Knowledge, as of the date of this

warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement. Seller
acknowledges that any breach of the representation in the preceding

8.7 Parent Financial Statements; Absence of Certain Changes and Events. The
------------------------------------------------------------------
Parent Financial Statements: (i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP,
consistently applied; and (ii) present, in all material respects, the
financial condition of Parent as of the respective dates thereof and the
results of operations of Parent's business for the applicable periods;
provided, however, that interim financial statements are subject to
normal year-end adjustments and do not contain footnotes and other

the Purchaser Agreements and the Parent Agreements and consummation of
the transactions contemplated by the Purchaser Agreements and the Parent

Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K,
no Parent Material Adverse Change has occurred. Neither Purchaser nor
Parent is currently in default under, nor has an event occurred which
with notice, passage of time or both would constitute a default under,
any material liability of Purchaser or Parent. No event has occurred
which, with the passage of time, would constitute an Acceleration Event
(as that term is defined in the Parent Note). Except for those
liabilities of Parent identified in the Parent Financial Statements or
otherwise disclosed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K, and those liabilities
incurred by Parent in the
11
<PAGE>
Ordinary Course of Business since January 1, 1998, Parent does not have
any material liabilities, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or
otherwise. None of Parent's Form 10-KSB dated April 1, 1998 (including
the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1997
incorporated by reference therein), Forms 10-QSB dated May 15, 1998 and
August 14, 1998, Forms 8-K and 8-K/A dated April 8, 1998, April 24, 1998

-----------------------------------------------------------
a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Except for the Purchaser Agreements,
Purchaser is not a party to nor are any of Purchaser's assets bound by
any agreement, Order, instrument, judgment or decree. Except for the
liabilities and obligations of Purchaser under the Purchaser Agreements,
Purchaser does not have any liability or obligation.
9. COVENANTS. The Parties covenant and agree as follows:
---------
9.1 Conduct of Business Prior to Closing. Until the Closing, and unless
------------------------------------
Purchaser otherwise consents in writing, Seller will operate the Acquired
Business substantially as previously operated and only in the Ordinary
Course of Business.
9.2 Seller Material Adverse Changes. Seller will not without the prior
-------------------------------
consent of Purchaser take any affirmative action, or fail to take any
reasonable action within its control, the consequences of which are
likely to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.
9.3 Other Transactions. Until the Closing or earlier termination of this
------------------
Agreement, Seller will deal exclusively and in good faith with Purchaser

accountants, agents and counsel not to): (a) solicit submission of offers
from any person relating to a Sale Transaction; (b) participate in any
discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish any nonpublic
information to any person regarding any Sale Transaction by any person
other than Purchaser and Parent; or (c) enter into any agreement or
understanding, whether oral or written, that would have the effect of
preventing consummation of this Agreement. If Seller or its
representatives or agents should receive any proposal for a Sale
Transaction or any inquiry regarding such proposal from a third party,
Seller will promptly so inform Purchaser.
9.4 Consents, Waivers and Approvals. Seller, Purchaser and Parent will each
-------------------------------
use best efforts to obtain prior to the Closing (a) the Lessor Documents
from each lessor of any Acquired Business Leased Real Property and (b)
all other material consents, waivers, approvals, and releases, and to
make prior to the Closing all material filings (including Governmental
Authorizations and filings with Governmental Bodies), in each case as
necessary to effect the transactions contemplated hereby (provided, that
Seller shall not be obligated to obtain any consents, waiver, approvals
or releases from Customers). Seller, Purchaser and Parent will each use
best efforts to cause NEC to enter into an agreement with Purchaser and
Parent to continue Purchaser's right to use certain equipment at Seller's
San Diego facility on substantially the same terms ad conditions as
currently in effect. All such consents, waivers, releases, approvals and
filings will be in writing and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the other Party.
9.5 Supplemental Disclosure.
-----------------------
(a) Seller will have the continuing obligation up to and including the
Closing Date to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedule with
respect to any material matter subsequently arising or discovered
which, if existing or known at the date of this Agreement, would have
been required to be set forth or listed in the Disclosure Schedule.
Any such supplemental disclosure will be deemed to have been
disclosed as of the date
12
<PAGE>
of this Agreement if Purchaser and Parent proceed with and ultimately
consummate the Closing following receipt of such supplemental
disclosure.
(b) Prior to Closing, Seller shall confirm the accuracy of its
representation and warranties under Section 6.12(f) by interviewing
the operations centers general managers in Birmingham, Daytona Beach,
San Diego and Portland. In the event such interviews reveal any
matter which, if existing or known at the date of this Agreement,
would have been required to be set forth or listed in the Disclosure
Schedule in response to Section 6.12(f), Seller will notify Purchaser
of the same. Purchaser and Parent acknowledge and agree that no
information contained in any such supplemental disclosure shall be
deemed to constitute a breach of Section 6.12(f) unless, in the
aggregate, the matters listed in such supplemental disclosure are
likely to result in Seller Material Adverse Effect.
(c) Purchaser and Parent will have the continuing obligation up to and
including the Closing Date to disclose to Seller in writing any
matter coming to Purchaser's Knowledge after the date of this
Agreement that constitutes a breach by Seller of any of its
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in
this Agreement (any such matter will be deemed to have been within
Purchaser's Knowledge as of the date of this Agreement if Purchaser
and Parent proceed with and ultimately consummate the Closing after
such matter comes to Purchaser's Knowledge).
(d) Purchaser and Parent will have the continuing obligation up to and
including the Closing Date to supplement or amend the Parent
Disclosure Schedule with respect to any material matter subsequently
arising or discovered which, if existing or known at the date of this
Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or listed in the
Parent Disclosure Schedule. Any such supplemental disclosure will be
deemed to have been disclosed as of the date of this Agreement if
Seller proceeds with and ultimately consummates the Closing following
receipt of such supplemental disclosure.

--------------------
faith to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 10 hereof. Purchaser

warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all
material respects. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and Parent
acknowledge and agree (a) that their examinations of the materials and
information made available to Purchaser and Parent under this Section (or
otherwise in connection with Purchaser's and Parent's due diligence
investigation) will be conducted in such a manner so as not to
unreasonably disrupt the normal business operations of Seller; (b) that
such examinations will take place in a manner reasonably acceptable to
Seller and its counsel; (c) that neither Purchaser nor Parent shall
contact any customers or suppliers of the Acquired Business in connection
with Purchaser's and Parent's due diligence investigation unless and
approved in advance by Seller (such approval will not be unreasonably
withheld); and (d) that all information supplied to Purchaser and Parent
or their representatives in the course of such investigations will be
subject to the Non-disclosure Agreement between Parent and Seller dated
July 21, 1998.
9.8 Certain Actions. Each of the Parties will refrain from taking any action
---------------
which would render any representation or warranty contained in Sections 6
or 8 of this Agreement inaccurate as of the Closing Date. Each Party will
promptly notify the other of any action or proceeding that is instituted
or threatened against such Party to restrain, prohibit or otherwise
challenge the legality of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
13
<PAGE>
9.9 Payment of Personal Property Tax Reimbursement. The Parties shall follow
----------------------------------------------
the same procedures to determine the amount of the Personal Property Tax
Reimbursement Amount as required for the Purchase Price Adjustment
Amount. Within ten (10) days after final determination of the Personal
Property Tax Reimbursement Amount (whether by Purchaser's failure to
object, agreement of the Parties or determination by the Independent
Auditors), Purchaser will pay the Personal Property Tax Reimbursement
Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s)
designated by Seller.
9.10 Payment of Agreement-related Expenses. Except as provided in the

Auditors' Report Expenses shall be borne by Purchaser and Parent and
paid to D&T by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the
earlier of the Closing Date or the effective date of termination of this
Agreement; provided, however, that if this Agreement is rightfully
terminated by Purchaser pursuant to Section 15.1(a) due to a material
breach by Seller or pursuant to Section 15.1(b), then Seller shall bear
the Auditors' Report Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, Purchaser and Parent shall bear all amounts payable
to S.G. Cowen Securities Corporation and FINOVA Capital Corporation in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
9.11 Certain Consents. In the event any of the Contracts (except for the
----------------
leases for the Acquired Business Leased Real Property) requires consent
to assignment and such consent is not obtained prior to the Closing,
then until such consent has been obtained or the applicable Contract
terminates, the Contract shall not be deemed assigned to Purchaser but
instead Purchaser shall be deemed to be Seller's subcontractor or the
Parties shall make such other arrangements as necessary to assure
Purchaser the benefits of the underlying Contract. In that event,
Purchaser shall perform all obligations of Seller under the applicable
Contract and shall be entitled to all benefits from such Contract. The
obligations to be performed by Purchaser shall be Assumed Executory
Obligations for purposes of this Agreement and the benefits to inure to
Purchaser shall be Acquired Assets for purposes of this Agreement.

connection with the Auditors' Report, including the delivery of the

sentence, the Auditors' Report is to be used solely for the purpose of
inclusion in a filing on Form 8-K required to be filed by Parent as a
result of this Agreement and a Form S-1 registration statement planned
to be filed by Parent prior to the Effective Time, and neither the
Auditors' Report nor any information contained therein shall be used for
any purpose in connection with this Agreement or the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements of either Party under this
Agreement, including the preparation of the Closing Net Working Capital
Statement and the determination of any Purchase Price Adjustment
pursuant to Section 5.1(b). Seller acknowledges that delivery of the
Auditors' Report shall be a condition to Purchaser's and Parent's
obligations to close as described in Section 10.9.

------------------------
effectuate the assignment to Purchaser (to the extent permitted under

------------------
transactions set forth in this Agreement on or prior to the Closing
Date, all conditions to that Party's obligation to close under Section
10 or Section 11, as applicable, have been satisfied, and if the other
Party is not then in material breach under terms of this Agreement and
such other Party stands ready, willing and able to make tender of its
deliveries required under Section 12.2, then, in addition to any other
remedies available to such other Party, the other Party may invoke any
equitable remedies to cause the consummation of the transactions set
forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, an action or
suit for specific performance.
13. ACQUIRED BUSINESS EMPLOYEES
---------------------------
13.1 Terminations. No later than October 12, 1998, Purchaser shall identify in
------------
writing to Seller those Acquired Business Employees to whom Purchaser
intends to offer employment (as determined by Purchaser in its sole
discretion). At the Effective Time (or, in the event of an Escrowed
Closing, at the Closing Escrow Termination Date), Seller will terminate
all of the Acquired Business Effective Time Employees and Purchaser will
offer employment (and will hire all persons who accept such offer of
employment) to the Acquired Business Effective Time Employees identified
in Purchaser's notice contemplated by the preceding sentence (on such
terms and conditions as Purchaser may determine in its sole discretion).
Seller makes no representation or warranty and provides no assurance that
any Acquired Business Employee will remain employed by Seller until the
Effective Time (or, in the event of an Escrowed Closing, the Closing
Escrow Termination Date) or that any such person will accept an offer of
employment from Purchaser.
13.2 Reimbursement of Excess Termination-related Amounts. Seller shall pay to
---------------------------------------------------
applicable Acquired Business Employees all Termination-related Amounts.
In the event that the number of Acquired Business Effective Time
Employees to whom (a) Purchaser does not extend an offer of employment
effective as of the Effective Time, or (b) Purchaser does extend an offer
of employment effective as of the Effective Time but the terms and
conditions of employment (including duties, responsibilities and
location) are such that even if the Acquired Business Effective Time
Employee accepts the offer, the Acquired Business Effective Time Employee
will be entitled to severance under Seller's standard severance policy or
any compensation or benefits under the WARN Act, exceeds 225, Purchaser
shall reimburse Seller for all Termination-related Amounts paid by Seller
to the excess Acquired Business Effective Time Employees and the
applicable Taxes payable by Seller with respect to such Termination-
related Amounts. The Parties agree that for purposes of determining the
amount of any reimbursement to Seller under this Section 13.2, the
Parties shall determine an average amount payable to or in respect of
each applicable employee and Purchaser shall be responsible for an amount
equal to the per employee average, multiplied by the number of employees
in excess of 225. Amounts payable by Purchaser under this Section 13.2
shall be paid to Seller within thirty (30) days after receipt of each
19
<PAGE>
request therefor accompanied by reasonably sufficient supporting material
to verify the amount.
13.3 Withholding. Purchaser and Seller agree to adopt the alternative
-----------
procedure described in Section 5 of Revenue Procedure 96-60 as
promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to wage
reporting, F.I.C.A., withholding and similar Taxes applicable to the
Acquired Business Employees who become employees of Purchaser.
14. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations and
------------------------------------------
warranties made by Seller or Purchaser and Parent in this Agreement will
survive until the 18-month anniversary of the Effective Time, except that
(a) to the extent any representations or warranties relate to Taxes, such
representations and warranties shall be deemed to survive for the period of
the applicable statute of limitations, (b) the representations and
warranties described in clause (a) of Section 7.3 shall not survive the
Closing, (c) the representations and warranties in Section 6.14 (other than
Section 6.14 (f)) and the representations and warranties under Section 8.5
shall survive until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Time, and
(d) the representations and warranties in Sections 6.1, 6.13, and 8.1 shall
survive indefinitely. No claim for breach of a representation or warranty
(including an Indemnification Claim) may be brought by any person unless
written notice of such claim is given on or prior to the last day of the
applicable survival period in this Section 14 (in which event each
representation and warranty with respect to any asserted claim will survive
until such claim is finally resolved and all obligations with respect
thereto are fully satisfied).
15. TERMINATION.
-----------
15.1 Grounds. This Agreement may, by notice given on or prior to the earlier
-------
of the Termination Date or the Closing Date, be terminated: (a) by either
Seller or Purchaser if a material breach of any provision of this
Agreement has been committed by the other Party and such breach has not
been cured by the earlier of the Termination Date or ten (10) days after
receipt by the breaching Party of written notice from the non-breaching
Party describing the breach and such breach has not been waived by the
non-breaching Party; (b) by Purchaser if any of the conditions in Section
10 has not been satisfied as of the Termination Date or if satisfaction
of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the
failure of Purchaser to comply with its obligations under this Agreement)
and Purchaser has not waived such condition on or before the Termination
Date; (c) by Seller, if any of the conditions in Section 11 has not been
satisfied of the Termination Date or if satisfaction of such a condition
is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of Seller to
comply with its obligations under this Agreement) and Seller has not
waived such condition on or before the Termination Date; (d) by mutual
consent of Purchaser and Seller; or (e) by either Purchaser or Seller if
the Closing has not occurred (other than through the failure of any Party
seeking to terminate this Agreement to comply fully with its obligations
under this Agreement) on or before the Termination Date or such later
date as the Parties may agree upon.
15.2 Effect of Termination. Each Party's right of termination under Section
---------------------
15.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement
or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an
election of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section
15.1, all further obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will
terminate, except that the obligations in Section 9.10 will survive;
provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by a Party
because of the breach of the Agreement by the other Party or because one
or more of the conditions to the terminating Party's obligations under
this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other Party's failure
to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating
Party's right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination
unimpaired.

16. INDEMNIFICATION.
---------------
16.1 Losses. For purposes of Sections 16 and 17 of this Agreement, "LOSSES"
------
will mean all damages, losses, costs, expenses (including legal,
accounting, investigation and other fees and expenses), interest,
penalties, charges and liabilities.
16.2 Indemnification by Seller Shareholders. Seller shall indemnify, defend
--------------------------------------
and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Persons from and against any
Loss incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Persons related to or arising
out of (a) the breach of any of the warranties, representations,
covenants or agreements of Seller in this Agreement, (b) any Excluded
Liability or Excluded Asset, (c) Seller's use of the R/2000 and ProMed
Marks prior to the Effective Time, or (d) any claim by Synergex with
regard to Seller's use or distribution of Synergex' products on or
before the Effective Time.
16.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser and Parent jointly and severally
----------------------------
agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified
Persons from and against any Loss incurred by the Seller Indemnified
Persons related to or arising out of (a) the breach of any of the
warranties, representations, covenants or agreements of Purchaser and/or
Parent in this Agreement, or (b) any Acquired Asset or Assumed Liability
(except to the extent that Seller is obligated to indemnify the
Purchaser Indemnified Persons under Section 16.2 with respect to the
applicable event, circumstance, action or omission that generates the
Loss).
16.4 Procedures for Indemnification.
------------------------------
(a) An Indemnification Claim will be made by Indemnitee by delivery of a
written declaration to Indemnitor requesting indemnification and
specifying the basis on which indemnification is sought and the
amount of asserted Losses and, in the case of a Third Party Claim,
containing such other information as Indemnitee will have concerning
such Third Party Claim.
(b) If the Indemnification Claim involves a Third Party Claim the
procedures set forth in Section 16.5 hereof will be observed by
Indemnitee and Indemnitor.
(c) If the Indemnification Claim involves a matter other than a Third
Party Claim, the Indemnitor will have ten (10) days to object to
such Indemnification Claim by delivery of a written notice of such
objection to Indemnitee specifying in reasonable detail the basis
for such objection. Failure to timely so object will constitute
acceptance of the Indemnification Claim by the Indemnitor and the
Indemnification Claim will be paid in accordance with Section
16.4(d). If any objection is timely interposed by the Indemnitor and
the dispute is not resolved within fifteen (15) days from the date
Indemnitee receives such objection, such dispute will be resolved as
provided in Section 18.12 of this Agreement.
(d) Upon determination of the amount of an Indemnification Claim
(including a Third Party Claim), whether by agreement between
Indemnitor and Indemnitee, by an arbitration award or otherwise,
Indemnitor will pay the amount of such Indemnification Claim within
ten (10) days of the date such amount is determined.
16.5 Defense of Third Party Claims.
-----------------------------
21
<PAGE>
(a) Should any Third Party Claim be made the obligations and liabilities
of the parties with respect to such Third Party Claim will be
subject to this Section 16.5.
(b) Within a reasonable time (i.e., such time as will not prejudice the
contest, defense, litigation, or settlement of a Third Party Claim)
following the receipt of notice of a Third Party Claim, the party
receiving the notice of the Third Party Claim will (i) notify the
other party of its existence setting forth in writing and with
reasonable specificity the facts and circumstances of which such
party has received notice, and (ii) if the party giving such
notice is an Indemnitee, specify in writing the basis hereunder upon
which the Indemnitee's claim for indemnification is asserted and
tendering defense of the Third Party Claim to Indemnitor.
(c) If the defense of a Third Party Claim is so tendered and within ten
(10) days thereafter such tender is accepted without qualification
by the Indemnitor as evidenced by written notice to Indemnitee,
then, except as provided below, the Indemnitee will not, and the
Indemnitor will, have the right to contest, defend, litigate and
settle such Third Party Claim. The Indemnitee will have the right to
be represented by counsel of its own choice and at Indemnitee's
expense to participate in any contest, defense, litigation or
settlement conducted by the Indemnitor; provided that the Indemnitee
will be entitled to reimbursement therefor if the Indemnitor loses
its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third Party
Claim as provided below. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of
this Section 16.5, if the Third Party Claim is asserted against both
a Purchaser Indemnified Person and a Seller Indemnified Person, and
representation of both of them by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potentially differing interests
between them, Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain the right to
contest, defend or litigate such Third Party Claim as it relates to
Indemnitee and will have the exclusive right, in its discretion
exercised in good faith, and with the advice of counsel, to settle
any such matter, either before or after the initiation of
litigation, at such time and upon such terms as it deems fair and
reasonable, provided that at least ten (10) days prior to any such
settlement, written notice of its intention to settle will be given
to the Indemnitor. If, pursuant to the preceding sentence, the
Indemnitee so contests, defends, litigates or settles a Third Party
Claim, the Indemnitee will be reimbursed by the Indemnitor for the
reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses of defending,
contesting, litigating and/or settling the Third Party Claim which
are incurred from time to time, promptly following the presentation
to the Indemnitor of itemized bills for such attorneys' fees and
other expenses.
(d) The Indemnitor will lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and
settle the Third Party Claim if it fails to diligently contest the
Third Party Claim (except in connection with a settlement thereof in
accordance with the terms hereof). So long as the Indemnitor has not
lost its right to defend, contest, litigate and settle as herein
provided, the Indemnitor will have the exclusive right to contest,
defend and litigate the Third Party Claim and will have the
exclusive right, in its discretion exercised in good faith, and with
the advice of counsel, to settle any such matter, either before or
after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms
as it deems fair and reasonable, provided that at least ten (10)
days prior to any such settlement, written notice of its intention
to settle will be given to the Indemnitee and the settlement
includes an unconditional release of the Indemnitee.
(e) All expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees and
expenses) incurred by the Indemnitor in connection with the
foregoing will be paid by the Indemnitor.
(f) No failure by an Indemnitor to acknowledge in writing its
indemnification obligations under
22
<PAGE>
this Section 16 will relieve it of such obligations to the extent
they exist. If an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification against
a Third Party Claim, and the Indemnitor fails to accept or assume
the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 16.5(c), or
if, in accordance with the foregoing, the Indemnitor loses its right
to contest, defend, litigate and settle such a Third Party Claim,
the Indemnitee will have the right, without prejudice to its right
of indemnification hereunder, in its discretion exercised in good
faith, to contest, defend and litigate such Third Party Claim, and
may, in its discretion exercised in good faith, and with the advice
of counsel, settle such Third Party Claim, either before or after
the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms as it
deems fair and reasonable, provided that at least ten (10) days
prior to any such settlement, written notice of its intention to
settle is given to the Indemnitor. If, pursuant to this Section
16.5(f), the Indemnitee so contests, defends, litigates or settles a
Third Party Claim for which it is entitled to indemnification
hereunder, the Indemnitee will be reimbursed by the Indemnitor for
the reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses of defending,
contesting, litigating and/or settling the Third Party Claim which
are incurred from time to time, promptly following the presentation
to the Indemnitor of itemized bills for such attorneys' fees and
other expenses.
16.6 Limitations.
-----------
(a) All notices of Loss must be delivered to the Indemnitor prior to
expiration of the applicable periods for the warranties and
representations as set forth in Section 16 hereof.
(b) Except as set forth in Section 16.6(c), no Indemnitor will have any
obligation until the aggregate of all Losses payable by the
Indemnitor to the Indemnitee with respect to all Indemnification
Claims under this Section 16 exceeds the Floor. Upon the aggregate
of all Losses (except the Exempt Indemnification Obligations)
payable by an Indemnitor with respect to Indemnification Claims
under this Section 16 exceeding the Floor, the Indemnitor will be

Amount, any amount described in Section 5.2 or any reimbursement of
Termination-related Amounts as described in Section 13.2 are not
Indemnification Claims and are not subject to the Floor.

adjustment to the Purchase Price under Section 5.
(e) Except for the equitable remedies under the terms of Section 12.3,
indemnification for Customer Claims under Section 17 and matters
that Purchaser or Parent establishes by clear and convincing

and exclusive remedies of Purchaser with respect to claims arising
out of: (i) the warranties, representations, covenants and
agreements of Seller in this Agreement; (ii) any Excluded Asset or
Excluded Liability; or (iii) any Acquired Asset or Assumed
Liability. Except for the equitable remedies under the terms of
Section 12.3, indemnification for Customer Claims under Section 17
and matters that Seller establishes by clear and convincing evidence
amount to fraud under applicable law, the remedies provided in this

or Excluded Liability; (iii) any Acquired Asset or Assumed
Liability; or (iv) the ownership or operation of the Acquired
Business or the Acquired Assets for any period ending after the
Effective Time. Except as permitted under applicable law as a remedy
for fraud proven by clear and convincing evidence, no Party shall
have the right of rescission of the transactions under this
Agreement.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, neither Seller nor Reynolds Holdings shall have any
liability under this Section 16 or otherwise (including under or in
connection with the Reynolds Holdings Transfer Agreement), and
neither Purchaser nor Parent shall be entitled to recover against
Seller or Reynolds Holdings, whether under a claim for breach of
contract, breach of warranty, strict liability, tort, contribution
or other theory of recovery with respect to or arising out of
(provided, however, that this Section shall not apply to matters
that Purchaser or Parent establishes by clear and convincing
evidence constitute fraud under applicable law):
(i) any falsity or breach of a representation or the breach of a
warranty or covenant under this Agreement to the extent that
the existence of such falsity or breach upon which liability
would be based (A) is within Purchaser's Knowledge at or prior
to the execution of this Agreement (as proven by clear and
convincing evidence), or (B) comes within Purchaser's
Knowledge prior to the Closing (as proven by clear and
convincing evidence); provided, however, that as to the
foregoing clause (B), any such falsity or breach so disclosed
to Purchaser or Parent after the execution and delivery of
this Agreement but prior to the Closing shall not affect the
right of Purchaser or Parent under the terms of Section 10 to
elect not to close the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (it being understood that if, despite such right of
Purchaser and Parent to elect not to close Purchaser and
Parent nevertheless elects to close, Purchaser and Parent
shall thereafter have no claim against Seller by reason of, in
connection with or arising from such falsity or breach);
(ii) any projections, estimates or budgets heretofore delivered or
made available to Purchaser regarding future revenues,
expenses or expenditures or results of future operations of
the Acquired Business;
(iii) any other information or documents provided to Purchaser or
Parent or their counsel, advisors or accountants with respect
to Seller or the Acquired Business, except as expressly

<PAGE>
covenants or agreements not to compete or covenants or
agreements not to disclose information;

remedies under Sections 17 and 22);

disclaimed any and all warranties with respect to the RH
Intellectual Property Intangibles; provided that this Section
16.6(f)(x) shall not limit in any respect Seller's liability
and the Purchaser Indemnified Persons' remedies under Section
16.2 for a breach of Section the representations or warranties
in Section 6.13 and Section 6.14 that expressly pertain to
Reynolds Holdings or the RH Intellectual Property
Intangibles);
(xi) except as provided in Section 17, the failure of any Seller
Distributed Software, Seller Internal Use Software, Third
Party Distributed Software or Third Party Internal Use
Software or any hardware, software, or data owned, leased,
licensed, distributed or used by or in connection with the
Acquired Business: (A) to be "millennium compliant", "year

warranty in Section 6.14(f); or
(xiii) any Customer Claims (provided that this Section 16.6(f) shall

17).
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, neither Purchaser nor Parent shall have any liability
under this Section 16 or otherwise, and neither Seller nor Reynolds
Holdings shall be entitled to recover against Purchaser or Parent,
whether under a claim for breach of contract, breach of warranty,

that the existence of such falsity or breach upon which liability
would be based (i) is within Seller's Knowledge at or prior to the
Closing, or (ii) is disclosed in a written notice furnished to
Seller prior to the Closing; provided, however, that as to the
foregoing clause ii), any such falsity or breach so disclosed to
Seller after the execution and delivery of this Agreement but prior
to the Closing shall not affect the right of Seller under the terms
of Section 11 to elect not to close the transactions
25
<PAGE>
contemplated by this Agreement (it being understood that if, despite
such right of Seller to elect not to close Seller nevertheless
elects to close, Seller shall thereafter have no claim against
Purchaser and Parent by reason of, in connection with or arising
from such falsity or breach).
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in
determining the amount of any "Loss" suffered by a Party: (i) no
Party shall be entitled to recover under this Section 16 any
consequential damages, including business interruption or lost

(including any and all liabilities of Seller for costs, expenses and
attorney's fees paid or incurred in connection therewith or in
connection with curing of any and all breaches of Seller's

Indemnified Person establishes by clear and convincing evidence
amount to fraud under applicable law or to Exempt Indemnification
Obligations. In the event that, after taking into account the
limitations in this Section 16.6 or elsewhere in this Agreement,
Purchaser and/or Parent nevertheless becomes obligated to pay Losses
to Seller, in no event shall the aggregate amount of such liability
of Purchaser and Parent (including any and all liabilities of
Purchaser and Parent for costs, expenses and attorney's fees paid or
incurred in connection therewith or in connection with curing of any
and all breaches of Purchaser's representations, warranties,
covenants or agreement) exceed the Cap; provided that the Cap shall

in the Parent Note) in accordance with the Parent Note, with any
remainder paid by Seller by wire transfer within thirty (30) days after
the applicable report becomes final (whether by agreement, by failure of
Seller to timely object or by resolution under Section 18.12).

18.3 Assignment; Binding Effect. This Agreement may not be assigned by
--------------------------
either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. This
Agreement will be binding upon the Parties and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.
18.4 Headings; Exhibits and Schedules. The Section, Subsection and other
--------------------------------
headings in this Agreement are inserted solely as a matter of
convenience and for reference, and are not a part of this Agreement. The
Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are a material part of this
Agreement and are incorporated herein by this reference.
18.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
------------
counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement
and will become effective when one counterpart has been signed by each
party and delivered to the other party hereto.
18.6 Integration of Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior
------------------------
agreements, oral and written, between the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereunder, including the Letter of Intent; provided,
however, that if the Closing does not occur for any reason, the Non-
disclosure Agreement between the Parties dated July 21, 1998 shall
survive according to its terms. Neither this Agreement, nor any
provision hereof, may be changed, waived, discharged, supplemented or
terminated orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the
party against which the enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or
termination is sought.
18.7 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in this Agreement.
---------------
18.8 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed and
-------------
enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of Ohio as applied to

----------
press release or make any public announcement or other disclosure to
competitors, customers, employees or any other person (except to
employees and agents on a need-to-know basis in order to complete the

the confidentiality of the disclosed information) concerning this
Agreement except as required by law or with the advance written approval
of the other Parties, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
28
<PAGE>
18.10 Partial Illegality or Unenforceability. Wherever possible, each
--------------------------------------
provision hereof will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
under applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions
contained herein will, for any reason, be held to be illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, such illegality or unenforceability will
not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement
will be construed as if such illegal or unenforceable provision or
provisions had never been contained herein unless the deletion of such
provision or provisions would result in such a material change as to
cause completion of the transactions contemplated hereby to be
unreasonable.
18.11 Singular or Plural. All defined terms used herein will have the same
------------------
meaning, whether used in the singular or plural form, unless the context
clearly requires otherwise.
18.12 Arbitration.
-----------
(a) Any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the Reynolds Holdings Transfer Agreement (except in
connection with the determination of a Purchase Price Adjustment
Amount or a Personal Property Tax Reimbursement Amount or
enforcement of the Parent Note or a breach of Section 19) will be
submitted to arbitration in accordance with the commercial rules of
the AAA, by which each Party will be bound.
(b) If the Parties have not agreed during their negotiations on a single
arbitrator to whom the controversy, dispute or claim will be
submitted, either Party may select an arbitrator and send written
notice to the other party of the selection. The Party receiving such
notice will have 10 days from the date such Party receives such
notice of such selection to select a second arbitrator and send
notice of such to the party who selected the first arbitrator.
Failure to select the second arbitrator and to send timely notice,
as provided above, empowers the arbitrator first selected to resolve
the controversy. If both arbitrators have been duly named, they will
as soon as is reasonably practicable (but within 30 days from the
date the latter of the two arbitrators is named) name a third
arbitrator who must not be from the Dayton, Ohio or Atlanta, Georgia
metropolitan areas and who will be the sole arbitrator to hear and
rule upon the dispute. The provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure which provide for discovery will be applicable to any such
arbitration. The parties agree that such discovery must be completed
within six (6) months after the claim has been filed with the AAA
and service on the other party effected.
(c) Any arbitration proceedings will be conducted in Dayton, Ohio unless
the Parties otherwise agree.
(d) The Parties agree to be bound by the decision of the arbitrator and
the decision thereof to be entered into any appropriate court or
other jurisdiction. The prevailing Party in the arbitration will be
promptly reimbursed for its reasonable costs and fees (including
attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the arbitration and
will not be responsible for the costs of arbitration.
18.13 Person. The term "person" will be broadly interpreted to include,
------
without limitation, any corporation, partnership, association, limited
liability company, other association, trust or individual.
18.14 BestEfforts. The use of the term "best efforts" herein will in no event
-----------
require
29
<PAGE>
any party to (a) expend funds which are not commercially reasonable in
relation to the transactions contemplated hereby or (b) take, or cause
to be taken, any action which would have a material adverse effect with
respect to it.
18.15 Including. Whenever the term "including" is used in this Agreement, it
---------
will mean "including, without limitation," (whether or not such language
is specifically set forth) and will not be deemed to limit the range of
possibilities of those items specifically enumerated.
18.16 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer
----------------------------
any rights upon any person other than the Parties and their respective
heirs, successors and permitted assigns.
18.17 Further Assurances. From and after the Closing, the Parties shall,
------------------
without further consideration, execute and deliver promptly such further
assignments, endorsements and other documents, and to take all such
further actions, as either may from time to time reasonably request with
respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the
fulfillment of any condition precedent to the obligations of either
Party waived by that Party in order to consummate the Agreement. The
Parties also agree to promptly deliver to each other any assets
(including mail) they receive which properly are the property of the
other Party or an Affiliate.
19. CERTAIN COVENANTS OF SELLER.

19.1 Covenant Not to Compete. Subject to the conditions in Section 19.2, and

(5th) anniversary of the Effective Time, Seller will not (a) engage in
the Restricted Business in the United States, or (b) solicit for

19.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:
----------
(i) Section 19.1 shall not survive any termination of this Agreement
prior to Closing pursuant to Section 15.1; and (ii) it shall not be a
violation of Section 19.1 if either: (A) Seller at any time directly or
indirectly holds less than fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding
voting power of any person engaged in the Restricted Business, (B) a
person engaged in the Restricted Business acquires any securities of
Seller or any successor in interest to Seller or a person who at any time

Reyna (including, subject to applicable legal restrictions through the
exchange of information) in the collection of amounts coming due to Reyna
30

shall entitle Purchaser or Parent to any right, title or interest in or
restrict Seller in the use and/or disposal of those rights, properties and
assets of Seller described in Exhibit C under the heading "Electronic
Medical Records/Clinical Product Line".

none of the Parent Note, the Bridge Note or the Converted Securities
are registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any
state or other jurisdiction. Reynolds Holdings is an "accredited
investor" as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities

prior to the Closing all material filings (including Governmental
Authorizations and filings with Governmental Bodies), in each case as

INFOCURE CORPORATION
ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS DIVISION OF
THE REYNOLDS AND REYNOLDS COMPANY
COMBINED ANNUAL REVENUES APPROACH $100 MILLION
InfoCure Corporation (AMEX: "INC") ("InfoCure" or the "Company") announced
today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Healthcare
Systems Division ("HSD") of The Reynolds and Reynolds Company (NYSE: "REY").
HSD is a leading provider of physician and practice management systems,
principally to the radiology, anesthesiology and enterprise-wide, medical
practice and MSO markets. Upon completion of this acquisition, InfoCure will
add to its installed base approximately 1,600 customer sites, representing
approximately 35,000 providers to create a combined base of approximately 10,000
customer sites and 60,000 providers. The Reynolds and Reynolds Company,
headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, is a leading provider of integrated information
management systems and related value-added services to automotive and general
business markets. Reynolds and Reynolds reported revenues of over $1.5 billion
for the twelve months ended June 30, 1998.
Frederick Fine, InfoCure's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated:
"The HSD acquisition will represent our largest acquisition to date and will
give InfoCure a leading position as a supplier of healthcare information systems
to the specialty market of radiology. This acquisition also will significantly
increase InfoCure's market share in two of our existing markets - anesthesiology
and medical practices using IBM's AS/400 systems.
During the last three quarters, InfoCure has focused on integrating our
prior acquisitions and further developing our infrastructure. We believe that
upon completion of this acquisition, InfoCure will have increased its market
presence in targeted practice specialties, potentially doubled our revenue base
and reinforced our position as a major participant in the practice management
segment of the HCIS industry."
James Price, InfoCure's Executive Vice President, said: "HSD represents our
eighth acquisition in the last year. Not only will HSD add to our targeted
specialty markets, but it also will add four key operating centers to our
national network, with facilities in southern California, Oregon, Florida and
Alabama, a capable and well-trained work force as well as some of the premier
customers in the healthcare industry. Through the integration of HSD into our
existing operations, we believe we can broaden and accelerate development of our
software products and services to our combined target markets."

operations for InfoCure and HSD would have reflected the following:

_________________
(1) Pro forma consolidated data give effect to the HSD Acquisition and the
Company's prior acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 1997.
The Company has made certain adjustments to reflect the proposed combined
operations as if the combination had occurred on January 1, 1997. This data
also gives effect to the borrowing by the Company of $40.0 million under a
credit facility and $10.0 million from the seller to fund the payment of
the purchase price and related costs for the HSD Acquisition. The pro forma
consolidated statement of operations does not purport to represent what the
Company's results of operations would actually have been if such
transactions had in fact occurred on such date and do not purport to
project the results of operations of the Company for the current year or
for any future year.
In connection with the acquisition, InfoCure expects to record a one-time
pretax charge of approximately $9.0 million in the quarter ended December 31,
1998 representing the acquisition of in-process research and development of
software.
Richard Perlman, InfoCure's Chairman and Chief Financial Officer stated:
"The combination of InfoCure and HSD creates a company approaching $100 million
in annual revenues. Although HSD has experienced significant operating losses,
we believe that as an operating unit integrated into InfoCure's existing
infrastructure, HSD will add to our earnings. The pro forma statements reflect $
3.5 million of interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998, which
represents interest on all acquisition-related debt for this period, as if such
debt had been incurred on January 1, 1997. Even with this interest burden, pro
forma earnings per
-2-
<PAGE>
share, excluding non-recurring charges, would have been $0.28, as compared to
historical earnings per share of $0.21 reported by InfoCure for the same
period."
TERMS OF THE REYNOLDS AND REYNOLDS AGREEMENT
Under the terms of the definitive purchase agreement ("Purchase
Agreement"), InfoCure will acquire substantially all of the operating assets of
HSD. The total purchase price is $48.5 million, payable $38.5 million in cash at
closing and a $10.0 million subordinated, five-year note payable to the seller.
To fund the cash portion of the purchase price, InfoCure's senior lender
committed to increase the Company's line of credit from $30.0 million to $70.0
million.
The note is convertible by InfoCure, at its option at any time through
October 1, 1999, into InfoCure common stock based on the market price of the
common stock at the time of conversion. Reynolds and Reynolds will have the
right to require InfoCure to immediately register any common stock issued upon
conversion of a note for public resale.
Closing of the HSD acquisition, which is expected in October 1998, will
occur upon expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act,
completion of a financial audit of the HSD division and customary closing
conditions.
