Capstone Pharmacy Services, Inc. (the "Registrant") reports the
following acquisition:
Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 29, 1996, the
Registrant acquired substantially all of the assets of I.M.D. Corporation, an
Illinois institutional pharmacy business ("IMD"). The Registrant acquired the
assets through arm's-length negotiations with IMD and IMD's sole shareholder,
Dennis Ruben.
Prior to this transaction, no material relationship existed between
IMD and the Registrant or any of its affiliates, any director or officer of the
Registrant, or any associate of such director or officer.
The consideration for the acquisition comprised approximately

purchase 75,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock, at an exercise price
of $ 7.50 per share, representing the December 29, 1995 per share closing price
of the Registrant's common stock.
The Registrant funded substantially all of the cash portion of the
consideration by drawing on its debt facility with Creditanstalt-Bankverein.
The funding of the acquisition occurred March 1, 1996. The Registrant
intends to continue IMD's operations through a subsidiary created for the
acquisition.

Report in light of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The decision of

of the Payables and Expenses set forth in the Post Closing Financial
Statements, less (y) thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate book value of the

payments made to Seller for the periods on or prior to the Closing, then Seller
and/or Shareholder shall either contest such offsets or pay to Buyer the
amounts so offset, with interest at a rate equal to eight percent (8%) per
annum (an "Offset Payment"). In the event that any such offset is contested by
Seller and/or Shareholder and is not repaid upon the conclusion of the inquiry,

warranties of Buyer, Seller and Shareholder contained in this Agreement, or in
any certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, shall be
deemed to be material and to have been relied upon by the parties hereto and

shall each survive for a period equal to the applicable statute of limitations.
13.2 Indemnification by Seller, Shareholder and Trust. Subject to

suffered by Buyer resulting from (i) any breach by either Seller or Shareholder

<PAGE> 36
13.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the provisions of
paragraph 13.4, Buyer shall promptly indemnify, defend, and hold Seller
harmless against any and all losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable
cost of investigation, court costs and legal fees actually incurred) and other
damages resulting from (i) any breach by Buyer of any of its covenants,
obligations, representations or warranties or breach or untruth of any
representation, warranty, fact or conclusion contained in this Agreement or any
certificate or document of Buyer delivered pursuant to this Agreement,(ii) any
claim which is brought or asserted by any third party(ies) against Seller for
failure to pay or perform any of the Assumed Liabilities, and (iii) any claim
that is brought or asserted by any third party(s) against Seller arising out of
the ownership, licensing, operation or conduct of the Business or Assets or the
conduct of any of Buyer's employees, agents or independent contractors,
relating to all periods of time subsequent to the date of Closing. Any
indemnification payment pursuant to the foregoing shall include interest at the
Rate from the date that the loss, cost, expense or damage was incurred until
the date of payment. The liability created under this paragraph shall be joint
and several between IPA and Capstone.
13.4 Rules Regarding Indemnification. The obligations and
liabilities of each party which may be subject to indemnification liability
hereunder (the "indemnifying party") to the other party (the "indemnified
party") shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(1) Claims by Non-parties. Prior to seeking
indemnification hereunder, the indemnified party shall deliver appropriate
claims to any relevant insurer or third party obligated to indemnify the
indemnified party with respect to the loss giving rise to such claim so long as
such action would not violate the provisions of any agreement binding upon the
indemnified party and would not otherwise have a detrimental effect on the
indemnified party. The indemnified party shall give written notice within a
reasonably prompt period of time to the indemnifying party of any written claim
by a third party which is likely to give rise to a claim by the indemnified
party against the indemnifying party based on the indemnity agreements
contained in this Article, stating the nature of said claim and the amount
thereof, to the extent known. The indemnified party shall give notice to the
indemnifying party that pursuant to the indemnity, the indemnified party is
asserting against the indemnifying party a claim with respect to a potential
loss from the third party claim, and such notice shall constitute the assertion
of a claim for indemnity by the indemnified party. If, within thirty (30) days
after receiving such notice, the indemnifying party advises the indemnified
party that it will provide indemnification and assume the defense at its
expense, then so long as such defense is being conducted, the indemnified party
shall not settle or admit liability with respect to the claim and shall afford
to the indemnifying party and defending counsel reasonable assistance in
defending against the claim. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense,
counsel shall be selected by such party and if the indemnified party then
retains its own counsel,
31
<PAGE> 37
it shall do so at its own expense. If the indemnified party does not receive a
written objection to the notice from the indemnifying party within thirty (30)
days after the indemnifying party's receipt of such notice, the claim for
indemnity shall be conclusively presumed to have been assented to and approved,
and in such case the indemnified party may control the defense of the matter or
case and, at its sole discretion, settle or admit liability. If within the
aforesaid thirty (30) day period the indemnified party shall have received
written objection to a claim (which written objection shall briefly describe
the basis of the objection to the claim or the amount thereof, all in good
faith), then for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of such objection the
parties shall attempt to settle the dispute as between the indemnified and
indemnifying parties. If they are unable to settle the dispute, the unresolved
issue or issues shall be settled by arbitration in Chicago, Illinois in
accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration
Association.
(2) Claims by a Party. The determination of a claim
asserted by a party hereunder (other than as set forth in subparagraph (1)
above) pursuant to this Article shall be made as follows: The indemnified party
shall give written notice within a reasonably prompt period of time to the
indemnifying party of any claim by the indemnified party which has not been
made pursuant to subparagraph (1) above, stating the nature of such claim and
the amount thereof, to the extent known. The claim shall be deemed to have
resulted in a determination in favor of the indemnified party and to have
resulted in a liability of the indemnifying party in an amount equal to the
amount of such claim estimated pursuant to this paragraph if within forty-five
(45) days after the indemnifying party's receipt of the claim the indemnified
party shall not have received written objection to the claim. In such event,
the claim shall be conclusively presumed to have been assented to and approved.
If within the aforesaid forty-five (45) day period the indemnified party shall
have received written objection to a claim (which written objection shall
briefly describe the basis of the objection to the claim or the amount thereof,
all in good faith), then for a period of sixty (60) days after receipt of such
objection the parties shall attempt to settle the disputed claim as between the
indemnified and indemnifying parties. If they are unable to settle the
disputed claim, the unresolved issue or issues shall be settled by arbitration
in Chicago, Illinois in accordance with the rules and procedures of the
American Arbitration Association.
(3) Claims by a Straddle Customer or Patient. Any claim
by a customer or patient relating to professional negligence or similar matters
involving a customer or patient served both prior to and subsequent to Closing
will be the responsibility of either Seller and Shareholder, jointly and
severally on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, in accordance with the
following guidelines: (i) if it is a claim in which the incident giving rise to
liability clearly arose on or before the date of Closing, Seller and
Shareholder shall respond to the loss and defense expenses and indemnify Buyer;
(ii) if it is a claim in which the incident giving rise to liability clearly
arose subsequent to the
32
<PAGE> 38
date of Closing, Buyer shall respond to the loss and defense expenses and
indemnify Seller; and (iii) in the event that the incident giving rise to
liability as to time is not clear, Seller, Shareholder and Buyer will jointly
defend the case and each will fully cooperate with the others in such defense.
Once the case is closed, if Buyer and Seller and Shareholder cannot agree to
the allocation of both indemnity and expenses, then the matter shall be
submitted to binding arbitration in Nashville, Tennessee in accordance with the
rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association.
(4) Limitation on Claims. The obligations of an
indemnifying party under this Agreement shall not begin until the indemnified
party incurs one or more claims which equal One Hundred Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($100,000.00) (the "Basket"). Once the Basket is reached, the
obligations of an indemnifying party under this Agreement shall apply to all
claims of the indemnified party, whether such claims are part of the Basket or
in excess thereof. In no event shall the obligations of an indemnifying party
and its affiliates under this Agreement exceed the cash portion of the Purchase
Price.
ARTICLE XIV. PRESERVATION OF BUSINESS
AND NONCOMPETE RESTRICTIONS
14.1 Covenant Not to Compete. Seller and Shareholder hereby,
jointly and severally, covenant and agree with Buyer that, during the
"NONCOMPETE PERIOD" (as such term is defined herein) neither Seller nor
Shareholder shall directly or indirectly, (a) within the "NONCOMPETE AREA" (as
such term if defined herein), acquire, lease, manage, consult for, serve as
agent or subcontractor for, finance, invest in, own any part of or exercise
management control over any pharmaceutical operation or business which provides
any goods or services competitive with the goods and services provided by the
Business as of the Closing; (b) solicit for employment or employ any person who
at Closing or thereafter became an employee of Buyer or an Affiliate unless
such person is not so employed for at least six (6) months; or (c) with respect
to any customer, patient, physician, physician group, or health care provider
with whom Buyer or an Affiliate contracts with or serves in connection with the
Business subsequent to Closing, or any potential customer with whom Buyer or
Affiliate may reasonably be expected to contract with or service in connection
with the Business within six (6) months of the Closing, either solicit the same
in a manner which could adversely affect Buyer or an Affiliate or make
statements to the same which disparage Buyer, an Affiliate, the Business or
their respective operations in anyway. The "NONCOMPETE PERIOD" shall commence
at the Closing and terminate on the third anniversary thereof. The "NONCOMPETE
AREA" shall mean the area within a fifty (50) mile radius of (a) each location
from which the Business is operated or conducted as of the Closing, and (b)
each location at which Seller delivers pharmaceuticals as of the Closing.
Ownership of
33
<PAGE> 39
less than five percent (5%) of the stock of a publicly held company shall not
be deemed a breach of this covenant.
14.2 Enforceability. In the event of a breach of paragraph 14.1,
Seller and Shareholder recognize that monetary damages shall be inadequate to
compensate Buyer and Buyer shall be entitled, without the posting of a bond or
similar security, to an injunction restraining such breach, with the costs
(including attorneys fees) of securing such injunction to be jointly and
severally borne by Seller and Shareholder. Nothing contained herein shall be
construed as prohibiting Buyer from pursuing any other remedy available to it
for such breach or threatened breach.
All parties hereby acknowledge the necessity of protection against the
competition of Seller and Shareholder and that the nature and scope of such
protection has been carefully considered by the parties. The period provided
and the area covered are expressly represented and agreed to be fair,
reasonable and necessary. The consideration provided for herein is deemed to
be sufficient and adequate to compensate Seller and Shareholder for agreeing to
the restrictions contained in paragraph 14.1. If, however, any court
determines that the forgoing restrictions are not reasonable, such restrictions
shall be modified, rewritten or interpreted to include as much of their nature
and scope as will render them enforceable.
ARTICLE XV. MISCELLANEOUS
15.1 Assignment. Following Closing, Buyer may freely assign any or
all of its rights or delegate any or all of its obligations under this
Agreement without the express written consent of Seller or Shareholder.
Neither Seller nor Shareholder may assign any rights or delegate any
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer,
and any prohibited assignment or delegation will be null and void.
15.2 Other Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, Seller and Shareholder shall pay all of their expenses in connection
with the negotiation, execution, and implementation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and Buyer shall pay all of its expenses in
connection with the negotiation, execution, and implementation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All state and local sales and use
taxes, recording fees and transfer taxes incurred in connection with the
transactions contemplated within this Agreement shall be borne and timely paid
by Seller. All ad valorem taxes incurred in connection with the transactions
contemplated within this Agreement shall be prorated as of Closing.
15.3 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, waivers and other
communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be
in
34
<PAGE> 40
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given: (a) if delivered

after mailing with postage prepaid. Any such notice shall be sent as follows:

15.7 Benefit. Subject to paragraph 15.1, this Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. This
Agreement is not intended to, nor shall it, create any rights in any other
party.
15.8 Partial Invalidity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions
hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such
invalid or unenforceable provisions were omitted. Further, there shall be
automatically substituted for such invalid or unenforceable provision a
provision as similar as possible which is valid and enforceable.
15.9 Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any
party hereto in exercising any rights, power or remedy hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof, or of any other right, power or remedy; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy preclude any further
or other exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless it
is in writing and signed by the party against which it is sought to be
enforced.
15.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously
in two or more counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original and all

thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular
or plural as the identity of the person or entity, or the context, may require.
Further, it is acknowledged by the parties that this Agreement has undergone
several drafts with the negotiated suggestions of both; and, therefore, no
presumptions shall arise favoring either party by virtue of the authorship of
any of its provisions or the changes made through revisions. Whenever in this
Agreement the term "to the knowledge of Seller or Shareholder" or the like is
used, Seller and Shareholder shall each be deemed to have the knowledge of
Seller's Shareholder, officers, directors, Director of Pharmacy and Assistant
Director of Pharmacy, and of its Affiliates; and Seller and Shareholder shall
each be under a duty of due inquiry.
15.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and
attachments hereto, which are incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the
entire agreement between the parties hereto with regard to the matters
contained herein and it is understood and agreed that all previous
undertakings, negotiations, letters of intent and agreements between the
parties are merged herein. This Agreement may not be modified orally, but only
by an agreement in writing signed by Buyer, Seller and Shareholder.

this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover such legal
expenses, including, without limitation, attorney's fees, costs and
