-------------------------
10.6, Buyers jointly and severally covenant and agree that they will indemnify
and hold Sellers and their successors and assigns and their respective
affiliates and agents at all times harmless from and against any Loss (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs of defense) caused by or arising out
of (a) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or breach or nonfulfillment of
any covenant or agreement on the part of either Buyer under this Agreement, (b)
any activity of PhysiCare or Little Rock PA on or after the Effective Time, (c)
Buyers' operation of the Clinics and/or the OcMed Businesses after the Effective
Time, or (d) any Assumed Liability.

--------------------------
10.6, DRCA, PCLLP, and DRCA Houston jointly and severally covenant and agree
that they will indemnify and hold Buyers, PhysiCare, and Little Rock PA and
their successors and assigns and their respective affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, stockholders, and agents at all times harmless from and
against any Loss (including reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs of
defense) caused by or arising out of or in connection with (a) any
misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or breach or nonfulfillment of any
covenant or agreement on the part of any Seller under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, the covenant set forth in Section 8.6), (b) any Excluded
Liability, (c) the operation of the Clinics and/or the OcMed Businesses prior to
the Effective Time, (d) as set forth in Section 6.1(u), or (e) Sellers' failure
to obtain any of the Missing Consents (as such term is defined in Section 8.8).
7.3 Undisputed Claims. A party (the "Indemnified Party") may assert
-----------------
a Claim that it is entitled to, or may become entitled to, indemnification under
this Agreement by giving notice of its Claim to the party or parties that are,
or may become, required to indemnify the Indemnified Party (the "Indemnifying
Party," whether one or more), providing reasonable details of the facts giving
rise to the Claim and a statement of the Indemnified Party's loss, damage, or
expense (including attorneys' fees and costs) incurred, suffered, or paid
(collectively, the "Loss") in connection with the Claim, to the extent such Loss
is then known to the Indemnified Party and, otherwise, an estimate of the amount
of the Loss that it reasonably anticipates that it will incur or suffer. If the
Indemnifying Party does not object to the Claim during the twenty (20) day
period following the date of delivery of the Indemnified Party's notice of its
Claim (the "Objection Period"), the Claim shall be considered undisputed and the
29
<PAGE>
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the amount of its Loss. The fact
that a Claim is not disputed by the Indemnifying Party shall not constitute an
admission or create any inference that the asserted Claim is valid for any
purpose other than the indemnity obligation of the Indemnifying Party as to such
Claim pursuant to this Article 7.
7.4 Disputed Claims. If the Indemnifying Party gives notice to the
---------------
Indemnified Party within the Objection Period that the Indemnifying Party
objects to the Claim, then (a) the parties shall attempt in good faith to
resolve their differences during the thirty (30) day period following the date
of delivery of the Indemnifying Party's notice of its objection (the "Resolution
Period"), and (b) if the parties fail to resolve their disagreement during the
Resolution Period, either party may unilaterally submit the disputed Claim for
binding arbitration in Houston, Texas, in accordance with the American
Arbitration Association's rules for commercial arbitration in effect at the
time. The award of the arbitrator or panel of arbitrators shall include
reasonable attorneys' fees to the prevailing party and may be entered in any
appropriate court.
7.5 Third Party Suits. In the case of any Third Party Suit, the
-----------------
Indemnified Party shall control the defense of the Third Party Suit, and the
Indemnifying Party may, at its own expense, participate in (but not control) the
defense and employ counsel separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnified
Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may demand that the
Indemnifying Party assume control of the defense of the Third Party Suit at any
time during the course of the suit. If the Indemnifying Party assumes control
of the defense of a Third Party Suit, (a) the Indemnifying Party shall consult
with the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Suit upon the
Indemnified Party's reasonable request for consultation, and (b) the Indemnified
Party may, at its expense, participate in (but not control) the defense and
employ counsel separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party.
Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third
Party Suit, all parties shall cooperate in its defense.
7.6 Settlement or Compromise. If the Indemnified Party is conducting
------------------------
the defense of a Third Party Suit, the Indemnified Party shall give the
Indemnifying Party at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any
proposed settlement or compromise, during which time the Indemnifying Party may
assume the defense of the Third Party Suit and, if it does so (or if the
Indemnifying Party has already assumed control of such Third Party Suit), the
proposed settlement or compromise may not be made without the Indemnifying
Party's and the Indemnified Party's consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume the defense of the Third
Party Suit, the Indemnified Party may enter into the proposed settlement. Any
settlement or compromise of any Third Party Suit by either the Indemnifying
Party or the Indemnified Party entered into in compliance with this Section 7.6
shall also be binding on the other party in the same manner as if a final
judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the
amount of the settlement or compromise.
7.7 Failure to Act by Indemnified Party. Any failure by the
-----------------------------------
Indemnified Party to defend a Third Party Suit shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations if the Indemnified Party
gives the Indemnifying Party at least thirty (30) days prior
30
<PAGE>
written notice of the Indemnified Party's intention not to defend and affords
the Indemnifying Party the opportunity to assume the defense.
7.8 Insured Claims. In case any event shall occur which would
--------------
otherwise entitle either party to assert a Claim for indemnification hereunder,
no Loss shall be deemed to have been sustained by the Indemnified Party to the
extent of any proceeds received by the Indemnified Party from any insurance
policies with respect thereto.
ARTICLE 8

participation is reasonably required by Sellers or any of their affiliates in
anticipation of, or preparation for, any litigation, tax return filing, or other
matter in which any Seller is involved; provided, however, that any such copying
or assistance shall be had or done in such a manner so as not to interfere with
the normal conduct of Buyer's, PhysiCare's, and Little Rock PA's businesses.
Sellers shall reimburse Buyers for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Buyers, PhysiCare, and Little Rock PA in performing the covenants
contained in this Section 8.2.
8.3 Release by Sellers and Sellers' Affiliates. Except for
------------------------------------------
liabilities and obligations to any Seller or Sellers' Affiliates expressly
described in Schedule 1.1(d) attached hereto, each Seller, on behalf of itself
and all Sellers' Affiliates, as of the Closing Date, hereby releases,
discharges, and acquits PhysiCare, Little Rock PA, and the Houston Asset Sellers
of and from any and all debts, liabilities, and obligations to such Seller or
any Sellers' Affiliate, including, without limitation, all management or

upon such Seller or any Sellers' Affiliate.

------------------------

Time and shall deliver same to Sellers, together with reasonable supporting
information. Sellers shall
32
<PAGE>
have twenty (20) days following the date of delivery to review Buyers'

twenty (20) day period, then Buyers' Determination shall be considered
undisputed, and Buyers shall be entitled to recover the appropriate amount from
the Escrow Agent pursuant to the appropriate provisions of the Escrow Agreement

the dispute shall be resolved in the manner set forth in Section 7.4 of this
Agreement. If Buyers' Determination indicates that the actual Trade Accounts
Payable plus Equipment Debt as of the Effective Time were greater than Three
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000), Sellers agree that the Escrow Agent shall,

Buyers cash equal to the amount by which the Trade Accounts Payable plus
Equipment Debt as of the Effective Time were greater than Three Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($300,000), and the Purchase Price shall be deemed adjusted accordingly.
8.6 Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Covenants of Sellers.
-------------------------------------------------------
(a) During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending
December 31, 2001 (the "Restricted Time Period"), each of the Sellers hereby
jointly and severally covenants and agrees to be bound and abide by the
restrictions set forth in this Section 8.6.
(b) During the Restricted Time Period, none of the Sellers, nor any
Sellers' Affiliate, will, directly or indirectly (including financial interests
held by any Sellers' Affiliate), either as an employee, employer, consultant,
agent, principal, partner, stockholder (other than any shares in a mutual fund,
regardless of amount, or as an owner of less than five percent (5%) of the
securities of a publicly held corporation), corporate officer, director,
investor or financier, or in any other individual or representative capacity,
engage or participate in, or consult with, any business or practice of medicine
which includes any of the OcMed Businesses, at any location within (i) a twenty
(20) mile radius of any of the Clinics, or (ii) a twenty (20) mile radius of any
other facility presently owned, operated, or managed by either Buyer or by any
affiliate of either Buyer in the States of Texas and Arkansas as identified on
Schedule 8.6(b) attached hereto (such area described in (i) and (ii) immediately
preceding being referred to in this Section 8.6(b) as the "Restricted Area");
provided, however, that, anything in this Section 8.6(b) to the contrary
notwithstanding, (x) the Restricted Area with respect to the mobile testing
portion of the OcMed Businesses shall not be limited to the defined radius from
facilities in the States of Arkansas and Texas but shall be defined to include
any area of any states in which OCI and its affiliates or DRCA or its affiliates
perform or have performed any mobile testing business as of or at any time
within six (6) months prior to the Closing Date, and (y) such noncompetition
covenants shall not prohibit Sellers and their affiliates from providing
employer or employer's insurance paid injury care medical services relating to
employees and having specific reference to employment related matters, including
without limitation laboratory testing, x-rays, work related injuries and
illnesses, physical therapy and rehabilitation associated with work-related
injuries, work-related independent medical evaluations, and/or consulting with
employers regarding case management in the Restricted Area, but only to the
extent strictly incidental to Sellers' orthopedic health care business and only
if and to the extent that neither Sellers nor any of their affiliates markets
itself to or, whether on its own behalf or for or on
33
<PAGE>
behalf of any other person or entity, solicits business from employers,
patients, payors, or other related third parties as a primary care occupational
health care provider.
(c) During the Restricted Time Period, none of the Sellers nor any
Sellers' Affiliate will, either for any Seller or for any other person, firm,
corporation, or other entity, either directly or indirectly: (i) call on or
solicit, or attempt to call on or solicit, any of Buyers' or any affiliate of
Buyers' patients, customers or suppliers, in any manner which is competitive
with Buyer's or affiliate of Buyers OcMed Businesses, as such businesses are
operated from time to time in the areas identified in clauses (i) and (ii) of
Section 8.6(b) above; (ii) induce, or attempt to induce, any employee of either
Buyer or any affiliate of either Buyer to terminate his or her employment or
hire away, or attempt to hire away, any employee of either Buyer or any
affiliate of either Buyer; (iii) induce, or attempt to induce, any supplier of
services (including physician services) or resources (including investment and
other financing resources) to withdraw, curtail or cancel the furnishing of
supplies or services to either Buyer or any affiliate of either Buyer; or (iv)
engage in any act or activity which would reasonably be expected to materially
interfere with or harm any business relationship either Buyer or any affiliate
of either Buyer may have with any patient, customer, employee, employer,
independent contractor, principal, or supplier.
(d) Each of the Sellers expressly acknowledges that such Seller has
knowledge of certain business methods, trade secrets, and other proprietary
information in connection with Sellers', PhysiCare's, Little Rock PA's, and the
Houston Asset Sellers' businesses. Each of the Sellers expressly acknowledges
and agrees that the Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) is owned
by PhysiCare, Little Rock PA, and/or the Houston Asset Sellers related to the
OcMed Businesses and is now proprietary and confidential, and if any of the
Confidential Information was imparted to, or became known by, any persons
engaging in a business in any way competitive with that of either Buyer or any
affiliate of either Buyer, such disclosure would result in hardship, loss,
irreparable injury and damage to Buyers or such affiliate of Buyers the
measurement of which would be difficult, if not impossible, to determine.
Accordingly, each of the Sellers expressly agrees that each Buyer has a
legitimate interest in protecting the Confidential Information and its business
goodwill, that it is necessary for Buyers to protect their respective businesses
and the businesses of its affiliates from such hardship, loss, irreparable
injury, and damage, that the following covenants are a reasonable means by which
to accomplish those purposes and that violation of any of the protective
covenants contained herein shall constitute a breach of trust and is grounds for
appropriate legal action for damages, enforcement, and/or injunction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither this Section 8.6(d) nor Section 8.6(e)
shall apply to any information that was (i) known to the receiving party before
its disclosure, (ii) is publicly available through no fault of any Seller or the
party in possession of such information, or (iii) has been lawfully obtained
from a third party without breach of the restrictions set forth in this
Paragraph 8.6(d).
(e) The confidential information obtained from or held by PhysiCare,
Little Rock PA, and/or, with respect to the Clinics and/or the OcMed Businesses,
the Houston Asset Sellers (the "Confidential Information") includes, by way of
illustration and not by way of
34
<PAGE>
limitation: (i) lists containing the names of patients (excluding patients that
have been referred to operations of Sellers other than the Clinics or OcMed
Businesses), customers (excluding customers of Sellers' operations other than
the Clinics or the OcMed Businesses), and employees of the Clinics and/or the
OcMed Businesses; (ii) to the extent related to the Clinics and/or the OcMed
Businesses, the past, present, and prospective methods, procedures, and
techniques utilized in identifying prospective referral sources, patients,
customers, and suppliers and in soliciting the business thereof; (iii) the
methods, procedures, and techniques used in the operation of the Clinics and/or
the OcMed Businesses, including the methods, procedures, and techniques utilized
in marketing, pricing, applying, and delivering occupational health products and
services; and (iv) compilations of information, records, and processes which are
used in the operation of the Clinics and/or the OcMed Businesses to the extent
relating thereto, including, without limitation, custom computer software
programs (except those included within the Excluded Assets).
(f) Each of the Sellers acknowledges that the Confidential Information
gives Buyers and their respective affiliates an advantage over its respective
competitors and that the same is not available to, or known by, their
competitors or the general public. Each of the Sellers acknowledges that
PhysiCare, Little Rock PA, and the Houston Asset Sellers have devoted, and
Buyers will devote, substantial time, money, and effort in the development of
the Confidential Information and in maintaining the proprietary and confidential
nature thereof. Each of the Sellers agrees to use its or his best efforts and
to exercise utmost diligence to protect and safeguard any of the Confidential
Information that is known to such Seller or that at any time is in its or his
possession. Except as required by law or a court order, each of the Sellers
agrees that such Seller will not disclose, disseminate, or distribute to
another, or induce any other person to disclose, disseminate, or distribute, any
Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, either for a Seller's own
benefit or for the benefit of another, whether or not acquired, learned,
obtained or developed by such Seller alone or in conjunction with others, and
none of the Sellers will use or cause to be used any Confidential Information in
any way except as is required in the course of such Seller's involvement with
Buyers. Each of the Sellers acknowledges and agrees that all Confidential
Information, whether prepared by one of the Sellers or otherwise, shall remain
the exclusive property of Buyers, PhysiCare, and Little Rock PA.
(g) Each covenant in this Section 8.6 shall be construed as an
agreement that is independent of any other provision of this Agreement and,
unless otherwise indicated herein, each such covenant shall survive the Closing
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The existence of any claim
or cause of action of any of the Sellers against Buyers, whether predicated on
this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement
by Buyers of each of the covenants set forth in this Section 8.6.
(h) If any of the Sellers violates any of covenants set forth in this
Section 8.6 and Buyers or any of their affiliates brings legal action for
injunctive or other relief hereunder, Buyers shall not, as a result of the time
involved in obtaining the relief, be deprived of the benefit of the full
Restricted Time Period of the protective covenants contained in this Section
35
<PAGE>
8.6. Accordingly, the Restricted Time Period shall have a duration equal to the
time period stated in Section 8.6(a), computed from the date relief is granted,
but reduced by the time between the period when the restriction began to run and
the date of the first violation of the covenant by any of the Sellers.
(i) Each of the Sellers agrees that the breach or attempted breach of
Sellers' obligations under this Agreement would cause irreparable injury to
Buyers and that any remedy at law would be inadequate. Each of the Sellers
therefore agrees, in addition to any other relief, that Buyers and their
affiliates will be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief in case of
any such breach or attempted breach. Each of the Sellers expressly waives any
requirement that such Seller could assert for the securing or posting of any
bond in connection with the obtaining of such injunctive or other equitable
relief.
(j) If any of the restrictions set forth in this Section 8.6 are
adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessively broad, said
restrictions determined to be excessively broad shall be reduced to the minimum
extent necessary to make such restrictions enforceable, and the restrictions
shall be enforced subject to such reduction. Any provision of this Section 8.6
not so reduced shall remain in full force and effect as written.
8.7 Collection of Accounts Receivable. DRCA will make available
---------------------------------
qualified DRCA personnel to collect on the Buyers' behalf the pre-Effective Time
Accounts Receivable included in the Houston Assets and Accounts Receivable
related to the mobile testing portion of the OcMed Businesses (the "H/M Accounts
Receivable")on the following terms and conditions:
(a) DRCA hereby guarantees to Buyers the collection of H/M Accounts
Receivable equal to the lesser of: (i) Seventy-five percent (75%) of the gross
H/M Accounts Receivable outstanding as of the Effective Time, but in no event
less than One Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,100,000), or (ii) One
Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,300,000) (the "Collection
Threshold"). At such time as such collections have reached the amount equal to
the Collection Threshold, Buyers shall take such steps as are necessary to
assign to DRCA any and all of Buyers' rights with respect to the H/M Accounts
Receivable remaining uncollected at such time.
(b) On a monthly basis, Buyers will pay DRCA a collection fee (the
"Collection Fee") in the amount of seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the H/M
Accounts Receivable collected and paid to Buyers (up to a maximum aggregate
amount equal to the Collection Threshold).
(c) Payments shall be made to Buyers within fifteen (15) working days
from the previous month's end for all H/M Accounts Receivable (up to the
Collection Threshold) collected on behalf of Buyers. The Collection Fee shall
be paid by Buyers within fifteen (15) days from receipt of the monthly payment
from DRCA.
36
<PAGE>
(d) Final payment of all amounts due and owing pursuant to this
arrangement shall be made not later than twelve (12) months from the Effective
Time. In the event that collections by DRCA during such twelve (12) month
period have not reached the Collection Threshold, then DRCA shall make a payment
to Buyers in amount equal to difference between the Collection Threshold and the
aggregate amounts collected and paid to Buyers during such period in accordance
with this Section 8.7. At the end of such twelve (12) month period, to the
extent not previously accomplished, Buyers shall take such steps as are
reasonably necessary to assign to DRCA any and all of Buyers' rights with
respect to the H/M Accounts Receivable remaining uncollected at such time.
(e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that
at least fifty percent (50%) of the Collection Threshold shall not have been
collected by DRCA and paid over to Buyers pursuant to this Section 8.7 on or
before June 30, 1997, Buyers may require that the Escrowed Funds (as defined in
the Escrow Agreement) held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement not be released as
provided therein, but, rather, that such Escrowed Funds shall be held by the
Escrow Agent (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) pending DRCA's payment to
Buyers of the Collection Threshold as provided in this Section 8.7. In the
event that the Collection Threshold is not thereafter paid over to Buyer on or
before December 31, 1997, as provided herein, a portion of the Escrowed Funds
equal to the unpaid portion of the Collection Threshold shall at Buyers'
direction be paid by the Escrow Agent to Buyers. To the extent that the
Escrowed Funds are insufficient to satisfy the then unpaid portion of the
Collection Threshold, DRCA shall remain obligated to Buyers with respect
thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as set forth in Section 2(b) of
the Escrow Agreement, at no time after June 30, 1997, shall Sellers be required
to maintain Escrowed Funds in excess of the difference between the Collection
Threshold and the amount of funds collected and paid over to Buyers pursuant to
this Section 8.7, and, to the extent that such excess exists, such excess
portion of the Escrowed Funds, less any funds held pursuant to Section 2(b) of
the Escrow Agreement, shall be released to Sellers. It is expressly agreed that
Buyers shall agree to release such excess Escrowed Funds, less any funds held
pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Escrow Agreement, after June 30, 1997, to the
extent such release is in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.7 and of
the Escrow Agreement, from time to time, within five (5) business days after
delivery of written notice from Sellers requesting such release.
8.8 Post-Closing-Consents. In the event that Sellers are unable to
---------------------
obtain any of the consents, approvals, and authorizations referred to in Section
6.1(e) or any of the Landlords' Agreements referred to in Section 6.1(k) prior
to the Closing (collectively, the "Missing Consents"), and Buyers nonetheless
agree to proceed with the Closing, Sellers hereby covenant and agree to continue
to use their reasonable best efforts following the Closing to obtain such
Missing Consents as soon as possible.
8.9 Certain Payments. On or prior to January 10, 1997, PhysiCare,
----------------
Little Rock PA, and each of the Houston Asset Sellers shall pay: (a) all accrued
and unpaid vacation, sick leave, and/or paid time off payable to their
respective employees, officers, and/or directors, and (b)
37
<PAGE>
all capital leases and loans related to the Little Rock Assets, the Houston
Assets, and/or the OcMed Businesses which are not part of the Assumed
Liabilities.
ARTICLE 9
TERMINATION
9.1 By Mutual Consent. This Agreement may be terminated without
-----------------
further obligation of the parties at any time prior to Closing by mutual consent
of the parties hereto.
9.2 Damages. No party shall be liable in damages to any other party
-------
as a result of the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement unless such failure is caused by the material breach of such party of
any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement.
9.3 Unilateral Termination. If, through no fault of or breach by a
----------------------
party hereto, the Closing is not consummated on or before December 31, 1996,
this Agreement may be unilaterally terminated by written notice given by such
party to the other parties (provided, that the failure to obtain required
consents and approvals from third parties despite the exercise of a party's
reasonable best efforts to do so shall not constitute fault or a breach by such
party for the purposes of this Section 9.3).
9.4 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant
---------------------
to the provisions of this Article 9, all further obligations of Buyers and
Sellers under this Agreement shall terminate without further liability of Buyers
and Sellers; provided, however, that such termination shall not constitute a
waiver by any party of any claim it may have for damages caused by reason of a
breach by any other party of a representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement
contained herein.
ARTICLE 10
MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Confidentiality. Subject to Section 10.2, prior to the Closing,
---------------
each of the parties hereto shall keep confidential all information relating to
the other parties that it obtains pursuant to this Agreement and shall use such
information only for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement. In the event
that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 9, or otherwise, or the
Closing does not occur by reason of failure of one of the conditions to the
Closing, each of the parties agrees (a) to return to the other parties all
documents, financial statements, and other information furnished or copied in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) not to
disclose without the prior written consent of the other parties any information
obtained with respect to the business or operations of the other parties hereto
or any affiliate of such parties.
10.2 Publicity. Prior to Closing, no public announcement or other
---------

or publication. The parties shall agree on the form and content of any joint
press release or other public announcement (including, for example, letters to
the Corporation's employees, customers, and suppliers) which is to be released
at or immediately following Closing. Nothing in this Section 10.2 or in Section
10.1 shall be considered to prohibit any party from making any disclosure
required by any Law, including, without limitation, any federal or state
securities law, rule, or regulation, any stock exchange rule, or any court
order.

-------

-----------------------------------------------
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL
LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS. The section headings contained herein are for

39
<PAGE>
10.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and
----------------
Exhibits referred to herein) sets forth the entire agreement and understanding
of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and
supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements, and understandings, whether
written or oral, related to the subject matter hereof, including, without
limitation, the letter of intent, dated as of December 9, 1996, between
OccuSystems, Inc., and DRCA Medical Corporation. No representation, promise,
inducement, or statement of intention has been made by any party hereto which is
not embodied in this Agreement, or in the Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto
or the written statements, certificates, or other documents delivered pursuant
hereto.
10.6 Survival; Limitation on Actions. Except as otherwise expressly
-------------------------------
set forth in this Section 10.6, all of the terms, provisions, covenants,
representations, warranties, and conditions of this Agreement shall survive the
Closing for a period of time equal to the lesser of (a) the applicable statute
of limitations with respect to any Claim arising therefrom, or (b) four (4)
years. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, however, the applicable
statute of limitations shall be the only limitation with respect to any Claim
regarding tax matters or based on fraud. All of the terms, provisions,
covenants, representations, warranties, and conditions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties
hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and
permitted assigns.
10.7 Amendment; No Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified,
--------------------
superseded, or canceled, and any of the terms, provisions, covenants,
representations, warranties, or conditions hereof may be waived, only by a
written instrument executed by all parties hereto, or, in the case of a waiver,
by the party waiving compliance. The failure of any party at any time or times
to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the
right to enforce the same. No waiver by any party of any condition, or of the
breach of any term, provision, covenant, representation, or warranty contained
in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more
instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver
of any such condition or breach or a waiver of any other condition or of the
breach of any other term, provision, covenant, representation, or warranty.
10.8 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the
------------
provisions of this Agreement shall be held or otherwise found to be invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable, all other provisions hereof shall be given effect
separately therefrom and shall not be affected thereby.
10.9 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiary. None of the parties
--------------------------------------
hereto shall assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, and
notwithstanding the foregoing, that OCI and/or OHCSW may (a) prior to or at the
Closing assign all or any portion of their respective rights and obligations
pursuant to this Agreement to OccuSystems, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("OccuSystems") or to any other wholly owned subsidiary or affiliate of
OccuSystems, and (b) after the Closing, assign any or all of their respective
rights hereunder without any consent or approval of any other party to this
Agreement; and provided, further, that any such assignment by OCI or
40
<PAGE>
OHCSW shall not relieve OCI or OHCSW of liability to DRCA, Donovan, PCLLP, or
DRCA Houston hereunder. Except for any such valid assignment, this Agreement is
for the sole benefit of the undersigned parties hereto and is not for the
benefit of any third party.
10.10 Further Assurances. Each party shall execute and deliver such

other documents and instruments, and take such other actions, as the other
parties may reasonably request in order to effectuate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

------------------------------------
Agreement may be signed by the parties hereto, with the same effect as though
all of the parties had signed one copy of this Agreement. Signatures
transmitted by facsimile shall be accepted as original signatures.
10.12 Attorneys' Fees. In any action at law or equity to enforce any
---------------
of the provisions or rights under this Agreement, the unsuccessful party or
parties to such litigation, as determined by the court in any final judgment or
decree, shall pay the successful party or parties all costs, expenses, and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred therein by such party or parties (including,
without limitation, such costs, expenses, and fees on any appeal or in
connection with any bankruptcy proceeding), and if the successful party or
parties recover judgment in any such action or proceeding, such costs, expenses,
and attorneys' fees shall be included in and as a part of such judgment.
10.13 Interpretation of Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge
---------------------------
and agree that this Agreement has been negotiated at arm's length and between
parties equally sophisticated and knowledgeable in the matters dealt with in
this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or legal decision that would
require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against the party
that has drafted it is not applicable and is waived. The provisions of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in a reasonable manner to effect the intent of
the parties as set forth in this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Stock and
Asset Purchase Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
