                            ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT


This Agreement is made on October 27th, 2000 by and between PMX Holdings, Inc.,
a North Carolina Corporation ("Seller"), Landacorp, Inc., a Delaware Corporation
("Landacorp"), and Landacorp Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware
Corporation ("Buyer"), as follows:

                                   BACKGROUND

This Agreement contemplates a transaction under which, as of the Closing Date,
(a) in consideration of the purchase price paid on its behalf by Landacorp,
Buyer will purchase all of the assets and assume certain liabilities of Seller,
which assets comprise substantially all of the assets of Seller used in its
disease management business (the "Business"), and (b) the Seller and Buyer will
obtain the release of the Seller from the loan originally made to ProMedex, Inc.
("the ProMedex Loan") by Wachovia Bank, N.A. The ProMedex Loan was subsequently
sold and assigned by Wachovia Bank to Vernon R. Loucks Jr. Seller assumed the
ProMedex Loan from ProMedex and Vernon Loucks, Jr. assigned his rights under the
ProMedex Loan, including the right to receive payment of the ProMedex Loan to
Franklin Fairveiw I, LP (the "Fund") pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption
Agreement dated October 18, 2000, between such parties (the "Note Assignment")
as part of Seller's acquisition of ProMedex's assets on October 18, 2000 (the
"ProMedex Acquisition"). In connection with the acquisition of Seller's assets
and assumption of Seller's liabilities as set forth herein, Buyer agrees to
assume liability for repayment of the ProMedex Loan and Landacorp guarantees
Buyer's obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, payment of the
ProMedex Loan.

                                    AGREEMENT

1. Purchase and Sale of Seller's Assets.

        (a) Acquired Assets.

               (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
accuracy of the representations and warranties herein contained, and the
performance of the covenants herein contained, at the Closing, in consideration
of the purchase price payable hereunder by Landacorp, Seller shall sell, assign,
transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer on behalf of Landacorp, and on behalf of
Landacorp, Buyer shall purchase, receive and accept from Seller, all of the
assets of Seller, all rights and properties owned by, leased to or otherwise
used or usable by Seller in the operation of the Business, wherever located,
whether tangible or intangible, real, personal or mixed, including all


<PAGE>   2
such assets, rights and properties acquired by Seller between the date of the
ProMedex Acquisition and the Closing, it being understood that the Acquired
Assets include, and as of the Closing shall include, all of the assets, rights
and properties of Seller necessary for the conduct by Buyer of the Business in
the manner in which it is now conducted, by Seller (the "Acquired Assets").
Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, Buyer shall not assume or
accept any of Seller's liabilities.

               (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Acquired Assets shall include all of Seller's right, title and interest in and
to the (tangible or intangible) assets of Seller used in the Business as of the
Closing Date including without limitation (a) furniture, computers and
equipment, (b) accounts receivable, including without limitation, checks
received by, but not deposited on the Closing Date, (c) intellectual property
including the ProMedex name, software, trademarks, disease management and health
information content and copyrighted materials, (d) inventory of disease
management and health information materials, (e) all revenues from Seller's
customers, partners or any other contracts received on or prior to the Closing
Date, (f) agreements with customers and suppliers relating to ongoing business,
and (g) all employees, independent contractors and consultants utilized by
Seller at Closing in the ordinary course of its business.

        (b) Assumption of Liabilities. At the Closing and except as otherwise
provided in Section 1(c), Buyer shall assume and agree to pay, discharge or
perform, as appropriate, (i) all liabilities of ProMedex assumed by Seller as of
part of the ProMedex Acquisition, as reflected on the ProMedex balance sheet
(the "ProMedex Balance Sheet") dated September 30, 2000 (the "Balance Sheet
Date") which is attached as Exhibit 1, including liabilities under all leases of
real property and equipment, provided that such liabilities remain outstanding
on the Closing Date, but excluding all Excluded Liabilities, (ii) all
liabilities and obligations of Seller under the Transferred Contracts and (iii)
any other liabilities incurred by the Business prior to the Closing in the
ordinary course of business after the Balance Sheet Date (collectively, the
"Assumed Liabilities"). In addition to the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer shall
release Seller from any liability arising from the ProMedex Loan and shall
assume all responsibility for the repayment of the ProMedex Loan, and Landacorp
shall guarantee Buyer's payment of the Assumed Liabilities, including the
ProMedex Loan, and Buyer's other obligations hereunder in the ordinary course of
its business, provided, however, Buyer's release will not cover any loss,
liability or expense caused to Buyer as a result of Seller receiving, after the
Closing Date, payment of any of the receivables pledged to secure the ProMedex
Loan or otherwise diverting any receivables that are pledged or payable under
such Loan.

        (c) Excluded Liabilities. Buyer shall not assume, and shall have no
liability or obligation whatsoever with respect to, any liabilities or
obligations of Seller, except the


                                      -2-


<PAGE>   3
Assumed Liabilities (the "Excluded Liabilities"). Excluded Liabilities shall
also include any liability reflected on the ProMedex Balance Sheet that is
recorded as an intercompany liability, including without limitation the
$2,462,344.18 "Intercompany Inlight" account payable and any other liability
that is otherwise payable to an affiliated or related party of ProMedex or
Seller, other than the ProMedex Loan.

        (d) Purchase Price and Payment Terms. In consideration of the receipt
the Acquired Assets at the Closing, Buyer agrees to assume the Assumed
Liabilities and pay Seller a total of One Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($1,100,000) (the "Purchase Price"), payable as follows:

               (i) Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand (250,000) shares of Landacorp
Common Stock (the "Shares"), which Shares will be delivered to Buyer by
Landacorp within seven days after the Closing, and

               (ii) An amount of cash to be determined at the Closing by
subtracting from $1,100,000 an amount equal to the value of the Shares at the
Closing as determined using the last sale price for the Shares at the close of
the Market on Thursday, October 26, 2000 (the "Stock Valuation Date"). For
purposes of determining the value of the Shares at the Closing, if the last sale
price for a share on the Stock Valuation Date is less than $1.50 per share, the
Shares shall be valued using a stock price of $1.50 per share. For purposes of
determining the value of a share at the Closing, if the last sale price for the
Shares on the Stock Valuation Date is more than $2.50 per share, the Shares
shall be valued using a stock price of $2.50 per share. The parties acknowledge
that the last sales price for a share on the Stock Valuation Date was $2.062 per
share, and that the amount of cash to be delivered to Seller by Landacorp at the
Closing is Five Hundred Eighty Four Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Five
Dollars ($584,375).

        (e) Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the
"Closing") shall take place at the office of Poyner & Spruill L.L.P., 3600
Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, NC 27612 commencing at 15:00 p.m. EDT on October 27th,
2000 (the "Closing Date") or such other time and place as the parties may agree
upon.

        (f) At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer assignments of the
Acquired Assets; and the Buyer shall deliver to Seller (i) a document reflecting
the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, and (ii), the purchase price
described in (d), and the release from the ProMedex Loan described in Section
1.(b).

2. Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller warrants and represents to
Buyer that the following statements are true and correct as of the date of the
signing of this Agreement:


                                      -3-


<PAGE>   4
        (a) Seller is a corporation duly organized and validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of North Carolina and is qualified to do business
in all appropriate jurisdictions. Seller has full power and authority to execute
and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations under the Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Seller
according to its terms and is enforceable against Seller.

        (b) Seller has no obligation or liability to pay any fees or commissions
to any broker, finder or agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement for which Buyer could become obligated.

        (c) To Seller's actual knowledge, Seller has and will convey to Buyer at
closing good and marketable title to the Acquired Assets (including intangible
assets) free and clear of any lien or security interest, encumbrances,
restrictions on transfer or other interests of third parties, except for liens
reflected on Exhibit 2 to the purchase agreement in the ProMedex Acquisition.
The Acquired Assets constitute all of the assets presently used in the Business.

        (d) EXHIBIT 1 is the unaudited balance sheet of ProMedex as of September
30, 2000 which ProMedex represented was: prepared in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (except for the absence of notes and normal year
end adjustments) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered
thereby, presented fairly the financial condition of ProMedex as of the dates
stated and was consistent with the books and records maintained by ProMedex. To
Seller's knowledge, Seller warrants that there have been no material adverse
changes to Seller, the assets acquired from ProMedex, or the Business since
September 30, 2000, except as otherwise reflected on Exhibit 1.

        (e) With respect to the Acquired Assets, Seller has complied with all
relevant laws, rules and regulations of governing bodies, including those
related to income taxes, building, zoning, pension, employee benefits,
environmental control, health, safety and fair employment.

        (f) To Seller's actual knowledge, neither the Acquired Assets or Seller
are subject to any material customer contract except as specifically listed on
EXHIBIT 2 of this Agreement.

        (g) Except for consents for the assignment of the Transferred Contracts,
there are no third-party or governmental consents required for the consummation
of this transaction and there is no litigation or other claims pending or to the
knowledge of Seller threatened against Seller, or the business operations that

the Seller's ability to consummate


                                      -4-


<PAGE>   5
the transaction described herein, except that the landlord for the Sunday Drive
premises in Raleigh, North Carolina has threatened to commence eviction
proceedings.

        (h) Seller represents and warrants that assuming Buyer hires all of
Seller's employees, Seller is and will be, as of the date of Closing, in
compliance with all obligations under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act.

        (i) Seller makes no warranties or representations to Buyer of any kind,
express or implied, except as expressly set forth in this Section 2, and all
other warranties or representations are disclaimed.

        (j) The Shares issued to the Seller will be acquired for investment for
Seller's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale
or distribution of any part thereof, and Seller has no present intention of
selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same,
except to Seller's shareholders as a distribution. Seller further represents
that the Seller has no present contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement
with any person to sell, transfer, or grant participation to such person or to
any third person, with respect to any of the Shares. The parties acknowledge,
however, that Seller may at a later date distribute the Shares to Seller's
shareholders as a distribution.

        (k) Seller is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Shares and can afford to sustain a total loss of such investment. Seller has
such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Seller is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the proposed investment and
therefore has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the
acquisition of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. Seller or its
representatives have had an adequate opportunity to ask questions and receive
answers from the officers of Landacorp concerning, among other matters,
Landacorp and its management, plans, operations and financial condition. Seller
has received or had ready access to all such information as Seller has deemed
necessary and appropriate to enable Seller to evaluate the risks inherent in
making an investment in the Shares, including but not limited to, copies of
Landacorp's most recent filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act").

3. Representations and Warranties of Landacorp and Buyer. Landacorp and Buyer
jointly and severally make the following representations and warranties to
Seller as of the date of the execution of this Agreement:

        (a) Landacorp is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Buyer is a corporation
duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of


                                      -5-


<PAGE>   6
Delaware as a wholly owned subsidiary of Landacorp. Each of Landacorp and Buyer
has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to
perform its obligations under the Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the
valid and legally binding obligation of Landacorp and Buyer according to its
terms and is enforceable against Landacorp and Buyer.

        (b) Landacorp and Buyer have no obligation or liability to pay any fees
or commissions to any broker, finder or agent with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement for which Seller could become obligated.

        (c) Buyer has no assets or liabilities other than the assets and
liabilities to be acquired hereunder and capital contributions and loans
incurred (i) to pay the purchase price described in Section 1(d), (ii) assume
the ProMedex Loan and (iii) provide working capital for the operation of the
Business.

        (d) Landacorp's 10K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and its
subsequent filings made pursuant to the 1934 Act do not contain any untrue
statements of material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to cause the
statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, to
not be misleading.

        (e) Landacorp and Buyer make no warranties or representations to Seller
of any kind, express or implied, except as expressly set forth herein, and all
other warranties or representations are disclaimed.

4. Securities Laws Matters.

        (a) Seller acknowledges that the Shares are not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), on the basis that issuance
of the Shares under this Agreement is exempt from registration under the 1933
Act and that Landacorp's reliance upon such exemption is predicated upon
Seller's representations contained herein.

        (b) Seller understands that the Shares may not be sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of without registration under the 1933 Act or an exemption
therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement
covering the Shares or an available exemption from registration under the 1933
Act, the Shares must be held indefinitely. Seller understands that there is no
agreement to register the Shares. Seller is aware that the Shares may not be
sold pursuant to Rule 144 and/or 145 under the 1933 Act unless all of the
conditions of the applicable Rules are met. Among the conditions for use of Rule
144 is the availability of current information to the public about Landacorp.


                                      -6-


<PAGE>   7
        (c) For so long as resale of the Shares is subject to the resale
restrictions set forth in Rule 144 and 145 under the 1933 Act, Landacorp will
use best efforts to at all times comply with Rule 144(c)1 under the 1933 Act.
Seller agrees that Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell,
assign, pledge, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Shares except
if such transfer is registered under the 1933 Act or the Seller procures an
opinion of counsel that the transfer is exempt from such registration
requirement; provided, however, the parties acknowledge that Seller may transfer
the Shares to its shareholders as a distribution (and in the case of the Fund,
the Fund may transfer its portion of the Shares to its owners) without having to
obtain a legal opinion.

        (d) Seller acknowledges that the share certificate(s) issued to Seller
for the Shares (as well as any share certificate(s) issued or issuable in
respect of any such Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, or similar event), shall contain the following restrictive
legends:

        THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
        INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR
        DISTRIBUTION THEREOF.

        THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
        1933 OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD,
        OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
        REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT AND
        APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
        SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER
        SUCH ACT OR LAWS.

        (e) If, at any time or from time to time within twelve (12) months after
the date of this Agreement, Landacorp shall determine to register any of its
securities for its own account in connection with an offering of its securities
to the general public for cash on a form that would permit the registration of
Registerable Securities (defined below), Landacorp will:

               (i) Promptly give notice of such determination to Seller; and

               (ii) Include in such registration and in any underwriting
involved in such registration, all the Registerable Securities specified in a
written request or


                                      -7-


<PAGE>   8
requests made within fifteen (15) calendar days after such notice from
Landacorp, by Seller, except as set forth in section (f) below.

        (f) If the registration of which Landacorp gives notice is for a
registered public offering involving an underwriting, Landacorp shall so advise
Seller as a part of the notice given under section 4(e), above. In such event,
the right of Seller to registration under this section 4(f) shall be conditioned
on Seller's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Seller's
Registerable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided in this
section 4(f). Seller shall (together with Landacorp) enter into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for
such underwriting by Landacorp. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
section (f), if the underwriter determines that marketing factors require a
limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the number of shares
that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated first to Landacorp;
and second to Seller and any other person(s) or entity(ies) to whom Landacorp
has provided rights to participate in the underwriting on a pro rata basis based
on the number of Registerable shares held by each. In such event, Landacorp
shall advise Seller of the number of shares of Seller's Registerable Securities
that may be included in the registration and underwriting as per the foregoing
allocations. If Seller disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, Seller
may elect to withdraw from the underwriting by notice to Landacorp and the
underwriter delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective
date of the registration statement.

        (g) "Registerable Securities" means the Shares; provided that,
Registerable Securities shall cease to be Registerable Securities: (1) on the
consummation of any sale of such securities under a registration statement or
Rule 144 under the 1933 Act; (2) when such Registerable Securities are eligible
to be sold by the holder of such Registerable Securities under Rule 144 under
the 1933 Act; or (3) if such Registerable Securities are sold or transferred in
transaction in which the rights under this section 4 are not validly assigned.

        (h) Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, Landacorp will pay
all fees and expenses incurred by Landacorp in connection with the Registration
of the Registerable Securities; except for any underwriter's discounts or
commissions, broker's commissions, any other selling expenses, transfer taxes,
fees and expenses of counsel for Seller and the underwriter's expense allowance,
if any, attributable to the Registerable Securities, all of which shall be borne
by Seller. Landacorp shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any
registration initiated by it prior to the effectiveness of the registration
whether or not Seller has elected to include securities in the registration.
Seller shall not have any right to obtain or seek any injunction restraining or
otherwise delaying any registration by Landacorp as the result of any
controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or
implementation of this section 4. All registration


                                      -8-


<PAGE>   9
rights granted under this section 4 shall terminate on October 26, 2001, unless
sooner terminated as provided herein. The registration rights granted under this
section 4 may be assigned by Seller to a transferee of Registerable Securities
which is a subsidiary, parent, shareholders or other owners of a subsidiary or
parent, or affiliate of Seller; on the conditions that: 1) Seller provides
Landacorp with written notice of the name and address of the transferee and 2)
the transferee agrees to be bound by terms and conditions of this section and
any other applicable provisions of this Agreement. Except as provided in the
preceding sentence, Seller may not assign any rights under this section, whether
by operation of law, merger or otherwise, without Landacorp's prior written
consent. The provisions of this section 4 may be amended or waived only upon the
consent of Landacorp and the owners of at least a majority of the Registerable
Securities. By accepting the benefits of this section 4, permitted assignees of
Seller agree to be bound by the provisions hereunder. As a condition precedent
to Landacorp's obligations under this section 4, Seller shall furnish to
Landacorp such information regarding itself, the Registerable Securities held by
it and the intended method of disposition of such securities as may be required
to effect the registration of the Registerable Securities.

5. Pre-Closing Covenants. With respect to the period between the Seller's
acquisition of the Acquired Assets and the Closing:

        (a) Conduct of Business. From the date of the ProMedex Acquisition until
the Closing, Seller covenants that it has conducted the Business in the ordinary
course of business, has maintained ProMedex's current business organization, has
used commercially reasonable efforts to continue to retain the services of
ProMedex's present employees and consultants, has taken no action intended to
impair ProMedex's relationship with customers, suppliers and others having
business dealings with ProMedex, and has not entered into any transaction or
performed any act which would constitute a breach of the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein.

        (b) Employees.

               (i) From the date of the ProMedex Acquisition until the Closing,
Seller has used commercially reasonable efforts to keep available for employment
by Buyer the employees of ProMedex (the "Employees") without making any increase
after the date of the ProMedex Acquisition in the compensation, current or
deferred, payable to such employees without the prior written consent of Buyer.
Seller will cooperate fully with Buyer, at Buyers cost, so that Buyer may hire
all of such employees. Seller has not hired any new employees between the date
of the ProMedex Acquisition and the Closing without the prior written consent of
Buyer, except that Seller may do so, upon


                                      -9-


<PAGE>   10
prior written notice to Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller has
terminated one employee since the ProMedex Acquisition.

               (ii) Buyer agrees to offer employment to all of the Employees,
for positions comparable to such Employees' previous positions and in their
current place of employment, and to maintain reasonable compensation and benefit
plans, programs and policies and fringe benefits, that, in the aggregate, will
provide benefits to such Employees that are substantially similar to those
provided by Seller as in affect on the Closing; provided however, that nothing
contained herein shall preclude Buyer from terminating or otherwise changing the
terms of employment of any Employee or any such compensation and benefit plans,
programs, policies or fringe benefits at any time after the Closing in its sole
discretion. To the extent practicable, each Employee shall be given credit for
all service with the Seller or ProMedex under all employee benefit plans,
programs and policies and fringe benefits of Buyer in which he or she became a
participant for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual.

               (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained,
no Employee or former Employee is or shall be construed as a third party
beneficiary under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement.

        (c) Assignment of Transferred Contracts.

               (i) Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts at Buyer's
cost, and Buyer will cooperate with Seller, to obtain all approvals, consents or
waivers necessary to assign to Buyer all of the contracts or other rights
included in the Acquired Assets (including any and all leases and subleases
relating to the Leased Property) or any claim, right or benefit arising
thereunder or resulting therefrom as soon as possible after closing (the
"Transferred Contracts").

               (ii) To the extent any of the foregoing approvals, consents or
waivers in respect of any Transferred Contracts have not been obtained by Seller
as of the Closing, Seller covenants and agrees that the beneficial interest in
and to any such Transferred Contract shall, to the extent permitted by the
relevant Transferred Contract and/or by applicable Law, pass to Buyer, and
Seller covenants and agrees: (i) that it will hold and declare that it holds all
such Transferred Contracts in trust for the benefit of Buyer, its successors and
assigns, from and after the Closing; (ii) to use commercially reasonable efforts
at Buyer's cost to obtain and secure any and all consents and approvals that may
be necessary to effect such assignment or assignments of the same, as Buyer
reasonably requests; (iii) to make or complete such assignment or assignments as
soon as reasonably possible after Buyer's request; (iv) to cooperate with Buyer,
at Buyer's cost, in any other reasonable arrangement designed to enable Seller
to fulfill any such Transferred Contract until an effective assignment thereof
to Buyer can be obtained,


                                      -10-


<PAGE>   11
and the parties agree to cooperate and take all necessary actions at Buyer's
cost, including accountings between the parties, to assure that Buyer shall
receive all of such benefits, rights, obligations and duties under such
Transferred Contracts; and (v) to enforce, at the request of Buyer and at the
expense and for the account of Buyer, any rights, claims or benefits of Seller
arising in respect of such Transferred Contracts against any party or entity
(including the right to elect to terminate any such right, claim or benefit in
accordance with the terms thereof upon the written notice of Buyer).

        (d) Permits. Seller shall (i) transfer to Buyer all Permits utilized in
the Business which are transferable; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain all approvals, consents or waivers of any Governmental Authority
necessary to transfer all Permits, to Buyer; and (iii) otherwise assist Buyer at
Buyer's cost in Buyer's efforts to obtain and register all Permits in Buyer's
name. Nothing herein shall require Seller to pay any fees or costs in relation
to the transfer or registration of Permits in the name of Buyer.

        (e) Additional Agreements. Subject to the terms and conditions herein
provided, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its best efforts to take
promptly, or cause to be taken promptly, all actions and to do promptly, or
cause to be done promptly, all things necessary, proper or advisable under
applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, and to satisfy all of the conditions to the Closing to be
satisfied by such party, including using its best efforts to obtain all
necessary actions or non-actions, extensions, waivers, consents and approvals
from all applicable Governmental Authorities and third parties, and effecting
all necessary registrations and filings.

        (f) Public Disclosure. Prior to the Closing, no party to this Agreement
shall directly or indirectly make or cause to be made any public announcement or
issue any public notice in any forum with respect to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby, without the consent of the other parties
hereto except if in the opinion of such party's counsel it is required by Law to
make such disclosure. The text of any public announcement or public notice shall
be subject to prior written approval of the parties. Nothing herein shall
restrict Seller from disclosing this transaction to Seller's employees, vendors,
suppliers and others having a reasonable need to know and where disclosure is
necessary to comply with the terms hereof.


6. Post-Closing Covenants. In case, at any time after the Closing, any further

purpose for which it was given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or
discharge,

        (h) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement shall
be brought in the courts of the State of Georgia. By execution and delivery of
this Agreement, each of the parties hereto accepts for itself and in respect of
its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid
courts. The parties hereby irrevocably waive any objection or defense that they
may now or hereafter have to the assertion of personal jurisdiction by any such
court in any such action or to the laying of the venue of any such action in any
such court, and hereby waive, to the extent not prohibited by law, and agree not
to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such proceeding,
any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts
for such proceedings. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the
service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or
proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered mail, postage prepaid,
to Buyer at its address set forth herein, and each of the parties hereto
irrevocably waives any objection or defense that it may now or hereafter have to

        (i) In case any one or more of the agreements, obligations or covenants

section 7, including, but not limited to, an action for specific performance of
any such agreement, obligation or covenant contained in this Agreement. The
rights, powers and remedies of the parties under this Agreement are cumulative

have under any other agreement or law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for
claims related to intentional or knowing breaches of the representations and
warranties of the parties herein or for claims related to fraud, the remedies
provided in section 7 of this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive monetary
remedies of the parties with respect to any matters for which indemnification is
provided in section 7 and shall preclude any party from seeking any other
monetary remedy. No single or partial assertion or exercise of any right, power
or remedy of a party hereunder shall preclude any other or further assertion or
exercise thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the parties elect to close
the transactions contemplated herein they cannot take or bring an action against
the other party for breach of any preclosing obligations, such as the
requirement of Seller to obtain consents to assignment of the Transferred
Contracts, except if such breach constitutes a breach of the parties
representations and warranties as contained herein, and then only in accordance
with section 7 hereof.

While, except as otherwise indicated in the following sentences, Seller has no
actual knowledge to believe that the ProMedex Balance Sheet is seriously
materially misleading, Seller makes no representation or warranty to Buyer
regarding the ProMedex Balance Sheet. Seller has learned since the date of the
ProMedex Acquisition, through Seller's receipt of a report dated October 2, 2000
prepared by Price Waterhouse Coopers for ProMedex, a copy of which was delivered
to Buyer's counsel, that some of the above numbers may not be accurate. In
addition, based on Seller's extremely limited review of the ProMedex books and
records since the date of the ProMedex Acquisition, Seller also believes that
the above listed inventory may be overstated by $120,000.
