                            ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT


     This Asset Purchase  Agreement (the "Agreement") is made as of the 31st day
of October,  1997, to be effective as of November 1, 1997, by, between and among
UCI Medical  Affiliates of South  Carolina,  Inc., a South Carolina  corporation
("UCI of SC");  Doctor's Care, P.A., a South Carolina  professional  corporation
("Doctor's Care"); Marvin Dees, M.D., a South Carolina resident ("Seller");  and
Landlord (as defined below).  For purposes herein,  Seller and Katherine R. Dees
are collectively referred to as the "Landlord".

     Introduction.  Seller owns and operates a medical  practice  located at 400
Main Street, New Ellenton, South Carolina 29809 (the "Premises").  Seller is the
sole owner of the Business (as defined in Section 1.1.1 herein below). UCI of SC
owns and/or leases  various  medical-related  facilities  and equipment in South
Carolina and has  contracted  with Doctor's Care to provide health care services
at such facilities.  Seller desires to (i) transfer  Seller's patient records to
Doctor's Care,  (ii) enter into an Employment  Agreement with Doctor's Care, and
(iii) transfer to UCI of SC as of 12:01 a.m. on November 1, 1997 (the "Effective
Date"),  certain  assets of the Seller,  all upon the terms and  conditions  set
forth herein.

     Agreement.  NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of these  premises and the
mutual  covenants  hereinafter  set  forth,  and for  other  good  and  valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

1.   Sale of Assets to UCI of SC.

     1.1 Transfer of Assets.  As of the Effective  Date,  for the  consideration
herein provided,  Seller shall convey, transfer, assign and deliver, or cause to
be conveyed,  transferred,  assigned, and delivered, to UCI of SC, and UCI of SC
shall  purchase  and accept from  Seller,  all of  Seller's  right,  title,  and
interest  (as the  case may be) in and to  following  assets  (collectively  the
"Assets"):

              1.1.1  All  of  the  accounts  receivable,  machinery,  equipment,
     computer  and  telephone   systems   (including   hardware  and  software),
     furniture,  furnishings,  office  equipment,  and related tangible personal
     property  respecting  Seller's  business  conducted  in the  Premises  (the
     "Business"),  including (without limitation) the items described in Exhibit
     1.1 attached  hereto,  excluding  only the  Excluded  Assets (as defined in
     Section 1.2 below).

              1.1.2 All of the goodwill,  permits,  licenses,  computer software
     and related  intangible  personal property of the Business,  excluding only
     the  Excluded  Assets (as defined in Section 1.2  below).  Seller  shall be
     responsible for obtaining the necessary consents,  if any, to assignment of
     such intangible  assets.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that UCI
     of SC shall not assume any equipment leases, personal property leases, real
     property leases, or any other liabilities of Seller except as expressly set
     forth in Section 3.2 below.

              1.1.3 All of the  inventory  of the  Business,  wherever  located,
     excluding only the Excluded Assets (as defined in Section 1.2 below).

              1.1.4 All of Seller's repair and service  contracts and warranties
     (which are acceptable to UCI of SC in its sole  discretion)  used or useful
     in the Business.

     1.2 Excluded Assets.  Anything  contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding,  the parties hereto  acknowledge and agree that Seller will not
sell, assign, or convey to UCI of SC, and UCI of SC will not acquire, any right,
title,  or interest  whatsoever in or to any of the assets or property of Seller
listed in Exhibit 1.2 attached  hereto  (collectively  the  "Excluded  Assets").
Seller will make all reasonable  efforts to complete the removal of the Excluded
Assets located at the Business, if any, within ten (10) days after receiving the
request for removal from UCI of SC.  Neither  UCI, UCI of SC, nor Doctor's  Care
shall be an insurer of the safety or  condition  of the  Excluded  Assets  after
Closing;  and Seller  shall retain the risk of loss with respect to any Excluded
Assets after Closing.

     1.3  Method  of  Transfer.  The  transfer  and sale of the  Assets  will be
evidenced  by  appropriate  Bills of Sale,  assignments  and  other  instruments
executed and  delivered by Seller to UCI of SC and/or  Doctor's  Care at Closing
(as defined below), as set forth in this Agreement.

     1.4 Not a Sale of Business. This transaction constitutes the sale of assets
by Seller  and not the sale of a  business;  provided,  however,  that  anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, it is the intent of
the parties that UCI of SC purchase and acquire and Seller sell and transfer the
complete  operating  process of the  Business  and all  properties  and interest
necessary  to  operate  the  Business  substantially  as it is  presently  being
operated (excepting the Excluded Assets).

of the Assets at completion of Closing (as defined  below) to be effective as of
the Effective Date (as defined below).

2. Transfer of Seller's Patient Records to Doctor's Care.

     2.1 Transfer of Patient  Records.  As of the Effective  Date,  for valuable
consideration,  the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and
no other monetary  consideration,  Seller shall transfer and deliver to Doctor's
Care all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to any medical records
in  his  possession  that  were  made  in  treating  patients  and  all  records
transferred to Seller  concerning  prior  treatment of any patient (the "Patient
Records").

     2.2  Method of  Transfer.  The  transfer  of the  Patient  Records  will be
evidenced by an  appropriate  bill of sale  substantially  in the form  attached
hereto as Exhibit 2.2,  executed and delivered by Seller to Doctor's Care at the
Closing (as defined below), as set forth in this Agreement.

     2.3  Notices.  Seller  shall  cause,  at any time  either  before  or after
Closing,  any  public  notices to be filed in a timely  manner and to  otherwise
comply with all requirements of the South Carolina  Physician's  Patient Records
Act or any other applicable law,  regulation,  rule or ordinance  related to the
transfer of the Patient Records.

     2.4  Possession.  Doctor's  Care shall pick up and take,  and Seller  shall
relinquish,  possession of the Patient Records at Closing (as defined below), to
be effective as of the Effective Date.

10. Existing  Liabilities.  Subject to Section 3.2 above,  neither UCI, Doctor's
Care nor UCI of SC assumes any, and hereby expressly disclaims all,  obligations
or liabilities of Seller, contingent or absolute, including (without limitation)
liabilities for (i) federal or state income,  payroll,  property, or sales taxes
for any period, or (ii) any tort,  contract,  or statutory  liability  resulting
from or alleged to have resulted from the Business  prior to the Effective  Date
or  operations  of Seller prior to Effective  Date,  except for the  obligations
arising and maturing after the Effective  Date to perform under those  contracts
expressly  assumed by UCI of SC hereunder,  if any. All property  taxes assessed
against the Assets sold  hereunder,  shall be prorated as of the Effective Date,
and Seller shall  promptly  pay when due, or  reimburse  UCI of SC for, all such
taxes which remain the Seller's responsibility.

11. Risk of Loss.  In the event the Assets  and/or  Premises or any  substantial
part thereof shall be damaged or destroyed  prior to the  Effective  Date due to
any  casualty or event,  or there shall  occur any actions for  condemnation  or
eminent domain having a material adverse affect on the Assets and/or Premises or
any substantial  part thereof,  Seller shall promptly notify UCI of SC that such
damage, destruction, or action has occurred and the estimated extent thereof. In
such  event,  UCI of SC must  within  five (5) days of  receipt  of such  notice
either:

     11.1 Termination.  Terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice
of such  termination  and thereupon all parties shall be released of all further
liability to the others; or

     11.2  Adjustment.  Alternatively,  and  subject to the  fulfillment  of the
conditions  set forth  herein,  require  the  consummation  of the  transactions
provided for in this Agreement and all proceeds of insurance covering the Assets
and all of the claims  arising as a result of such damage or destruction to such
Assets or all proceeds of such  condemnation  or eminent  domain action for such
Assets  shall become the property of UCI of SC. In the event UCI of SC elects to
require the consummation of the transactions  contemplated herein,  Seller shall
not  compromise  or settle  any such  claim or action  at any time  without  the
written  consent of UCI of SC which shall not be unreasonably  withheld.  Seller
shall cooperate with the collection of such amounts. Further, in such event, the
representations  and  warranties  of Seller,  as set forth in Section 5 shall be
modified equitably to account for such claim or action.

12.  Cross-Default.

     12.1 By Seller and Landlord.  Notwithstanding  anything contained herein to
the contrary,  in the event Seller and/or Landlord breaches this Agreement,  the
Non-Compete,  Investment  Letter,  or the  Lease,  or  any  other  agreement  or
instrument  ancillary  hereto  (other than the  Employment  Agreement)  to which
either is a party,  such breach  thereof (at the  expiration  of the  applicable
grace period set forth therein) shall constitute a breach by Seller and Landlord
of this Agreement.

     12.2  By  UCI,  UCI of SC,  and  Doctor's  Care.  Notwithstanding  anything
contained  herein to the contrary,  in the event UCI, UCI of SC, and/or Doctor's
Care breaches this Agreement,  Employment  Agreement,  First Note,  Second Note,
Security Agreement, or the Lease, or any other agreement or instrument ancillary
hereto to which it is a party,  such breach  thereof (at the  expiration  of the
applicable grace period set forth therein) shall constitute a breach by UCI, UCI
of SC, and Doctor's Care of this Agreement.

13.  Miscellaneous.

     13.1 Entire  Agreement.  This  Agreement,  including  the Exhibits  hereto,
embodies the entire Agreement and understanding between the parties hereto as to
the  matters  herein   addressed  and   supersedes  all  prior   agreements  and
understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

     13.2 No Waiver.  No failure to  exercise,  and no delay in  exercising  any
right, power or remedy hereunder or under any document delivered pursuant hereto

shall any such delay be construed  to be a waiver of any such rights,  powers or
remedies, or any acquiescence in any breach or default under this Agreement, nor
shall any waiver of any breach or  default  of any party  hereunder  be deemed a
wavier of any default or breach subsequently occurring.

     13.3 Survival. All representations,  warranties,  covenants, and agreements
herein contained shall survive the Closing hereunder.

     13.4  Amendment.  No  provision  of  this  Agreement  or  any  document  or

changed, waived,  discharged,  or terminated,  unless the parties hereto consent
thereto in writing.
