Item 5. Other Events.

On April 23, 1999, the Company entered into a Waiver and Amendment to the
Receivables Purchase and Transfer Agreement and the Loan and Security
Agreement, revising the terms of its Revolving Loan with Daiwa Securities
America, Inc. ("Daiwa"). Daiwa has agreed to waive three covenants that have
not been met by the Company through the period ended February 28, 1999. With
this waiver, the Company is in full compliance with all of the terms and
conditions of the Revolving Loan with Daiwa. In exchange for this waiver, the
Company has agreed to amend the lending agreements with Daiwa to provide: (i)
Effective May 15, 1999, and on the fifteenth of each consecutive ten months,
the available borrowing base under the Daiwa Revolving Loan shall be reduced
1%, for a total reduction from 100% to 90% of eligible receivables and (ii) the
Company shall use the proceeds of any future issuance of preferred stock to pay
down the balance of the Revolving Loan by no less that $200,000. The Company
believes that in combination with borrowings under this Revolving Loan and its
present cash reserves, the Company can sufficiently meet its cash requirements
to conduct its business.

company (the "Purchaser"), and to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of
November 9, 1998 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in
accordance with its terms, the "LSA") between the Purchaser as borrower (the
"Borrower"), and Daiwa Healthco-3 LLC (the "Lender").

                  WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed to amend certain
provisions of the LSA and the RPTA.

                  WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed to waive certain
provisions of the LSA and the RPTA.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                  1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise specifically defined
herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings
ascribed to such terms in the RPTA and the LSA.

                  2. Amendment to LSA. Subject to the conditions as to

amended as follows:

                           (1)      In Exhibit I of the LSA the definition of 
"Basic Borrowing Amount" is hereby restated in its entirety to read as follows:

                           "Basic Borrowing Amount" shall mean an amount equal 
to eighty percent (80%) of the Expected Net Value of Eligible Receivables. Such
percent shall step down by one percent (1%) per month on the 15th calendar day
(or if the 15th calendar day is not a Business Day then on the next succeeding

Borrowing Amount shall remain at seventy percent (70%) until the Scheduled
Maturity Date.

                  3. Amendments to RPTA. Subject to the conditions as to

                  4. Waivers under LSA.

                           (1)      The Lender hereby waives any existing

the RPTA specified in Paragraphs 5(a) and (b) of this Amendment.

                           (2)      The Lender hereby waives its rights under

the periods specified in Paragraph 5(a) of this Amendment.

                           (3)      Except for the specific waivers set forth

                           (1)      The Purchaser hereby waives any existing 
Event of Termination that arose solely as a result of the Providers' failure to

respect to the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 1999; and (ii) clauses (y) and
(aa) of Exhibit V of the RPTA with respect to the fiscal quarter ended February

the provisions of Section 3.02(a) and (b) of the RPTA solely for the Providers'
failure to comply with the provisions of clauses (x), (y) and (aa) of Exhibit V
of the RPTA for the periods specified in Paragraph 5(a) above.

                           (3)      Except for the specific waivers set forth 
above, nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any covenant or
agreement contained in the RPTA.

                  6. Preferred Stock Issuance and Use of Proceeds. The Primary
Servicer hereby agrees that it shall apply at least $200,000.00 of proceeds of
each preferred stock issuance made by it to the Borrower as a dividend
