<PAGE> 5



      In connection with a reorganization  pursuant to which the predecessors of
the Company merged into the Company,  the Company,  Highland Investments and its
members,  PHC  and  Blair,  and  Health  Partners  entered  into a  Stockholders
Agreement dated as of December 9, 1999.  This  Stockholders  Agreement  contains
provisions  regarding  registration  rights,  the  composition  of the  Board of
Directors  of the  Company,  and  tag-along  rights,  rights of first  offer and
preemptive rights with respect to certain sales of Common Stock.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

      Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, Highland Investments and Blair and
the  Reporting  Persons and Health  Partners,  to the extent they hold shares of
Common Stock, have been granted certain  registration  rights.  The Stockholders
Agreement provides for an aggregate of four demand registration statements under
the Securities Act of 1933 beginning 180 days after December 13, 1999.  Highland
Investments,  Blair and the Reporting  Persons may require that the Company file
two of those demand registration statements,  subject to certain conditions.  If
Health  Partners  or  Highland  Investments,  Blair  and the  Reporting  Persons
exercise a demand  registration  right,  the others also can  participate in the
offering on a proportionate basis to their respective ownership positions. These
stockholders  are also entitled to require the Company to register  their shares
of the Common  Stock on a  registration  statement on Form S-3 if the Company is
eligible to use a Form S-3 in connection with such  registrations.  In addition,
these  stockholders  are entitled to require the Company to include their shares
of Common Stock in future  registration  statements  the Company files under the
Securities Act, often referred to as "piggyback"  registration rights.  However,
holders of these  registration  rights will be restricted  from  exercising  the
rights under certain circumstances,  for agreed-upon periods after the filing of
subsequent registration statements.  Also, the shares required to be included in
a registration  relating to an  underwritten  offering  generally are subject to
underwriter cut back provisions.

DIRECTORS

      Under the  Stockholders  Agreement,  Highland  Investments,  Blair and the
Reporting  Persons were granted certain rights to designate persons for election
as Directors of the Company. The Stockholders Agreement provides that:

      Highland  Investments,  Blair and the Reporting Persons may designate five
people for  election as  Directors of the Company if they own an aggregate of at
least  40% of the  outstanding  Common  Stock;  three  people  for  election  as
Directors if they own at least 25% of the outstanding  Common Stock;  two people
for  election as Directors  if they own at least 10% of the  outstanding  Common
Stock;  and one person for  election  as Director if they own at least 5% of the
outstanding Common Stock. Highland Investments,  Blair and the Reporting Persons
also may be entitled to increase the number of Directors that they may designate
for election if the total number of Directors is increased.

      Under  the  Stockholders  Agreement,   five  representatives  of  Highland
Investments, Blair, who is Chairman of the Board of the Company, David T. Blair,
who is Blair's son and Chief  Executive  Officer of the  Company,  and Thomas J.
Graf,  Julia M.  Lawler,  and Karen E.  Shaff,  who are  executive  officers  of
Principal Mutual or its subsidiaries, are Directors of the Company.

RIGHTS OF FIRST OFFER AND TAG-ALONG RIGHTS

      The Stockholders Agreement provides that Highland Investments,  Blair, the
Reporting  Persons  and Health  Partners  must give notice to the Company and to
each other if they  propose to sell Common  Stock  aggregating  more than 10% of
outstanding  Common Stock to a single person or group who is not a family member
(if a natural person), an affiliate (if an entity), or an employee or manager of
the Company.

      Upon  receipt of notice,  the  non-transferring  stockholder  may elect to
participate  in the transfer by delivering  written  notice to the  transferring
stockholder.  This right to  participate  in the transfer is called  "tag-along"
rights.  If a stockholder  elects to participate in the transfer,  the aggregate
sales  proceeds  shall  be  divided  proportionally  according  to the  electing
stockholder's  and  the  transferring  stockholder's  respective  shares  of the
proceeds of a hypothetical liquidation of the Company. In order to calculate the
proceeds of a hypothetical liquidation, the value of the Company will be implied
by the transferring stockholder's proposed sales price.

      Alternately, upon receipt of notice, the Company may elect to purchase all
of the shares that the transferring stockholder proposes to sell. If the Company
does not elect to purchase the shares,  the  non-transferring  stockholders  may
elect to purchase all of the shares  offered.  This right to preempt a sale, and
therefore a possible  change in control,  by  purchasing  the shares  offered is
called the "first offer right." If the Company exercises its first offer rights,
the Company must purchase all of the shares offered

                                        -5-

<PAGE> 6



upon  the  same   terms  and   conditions   as   originally   offered.   If  the
non-transferring stockholder exercises its first offer rights, it may purchase a
pro rata  portion of the shares  offered upon the same terms and  conditions  as
originally offered.

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

      The Stockholders  Agreement prohibits the Company from offering its Common
Stock  for  sale  other  than  in a  public  offering,  in  connection  with  an
acquisition  or pursuant to employee  benefit  plan or  arrangement,  unless the
Company  first  offers to sell a  proportionate  number  of  shares to  Highland
Investments,  Blair and the Reporting Persons and Health Partners, to the extent
they hold shares of Common Stock.  The preemptive  offer must be in writing,  on
the same terms and conditions as the offering and at the equivalent  price,  and
must enable  Highland  Investments,  Blair and the Reporting  Persons and Health
Partners to retain the same  proportionate  ownership  of Common Stock that they
hold prior to the offering.  This provision allows Highland  Investments,  Blair
and the Reporting  Persons and Health  Partners to retain control of the Company
even if the Company  decides to  privately  issue  additional  Common Stock at a
later date.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

      The  following  shall be filed as exhibits:  copies of written  agreements
relating  to  the  filing  of  joint  acquisition   statements  as  required  by
ss.240.13d-1(k) and copies of all written agreements,  contracts,  arrangements,

finance the  acquisition  as disclosed in Item 3; (2) the  acquisition of issuer

structure  or any other  matter as  disclosed in Item 4; and (3) the transfer or
