                 ARBOR HEALTH CARE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

             NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   For The Six Months Ended June 30, 1996
                               (Unaudited)

1.       ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated balance sheet of Arbor Health Care Company and subsidiaries
(the "Company") at December 31, 1995 has been derived from the audited
consolidated financial statements at that date. The consolidated balance sheet
of the Company as of June 30, 1996, and the consolidated statements of income
and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, have been prepared
by the Company, without audit, in accordance with the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at
June 30, 1996 and for all periods presented have been made. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1995. The results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended June
30, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or
cash flows for the full year.

2.       ACQUISITIONS

The Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Poly-Stat Supply
Corporation and Poly-Stat Computer Applications, Inc. effective June 30, 1996.
The Poly-Stat businesses provide enteral feeding, urological, ostomy,
tracheostomy, surgical dressing and oxygen supplies and Medicare billing
services to nursing homes.

The purchase price of approximately $1.2 million for the Poly-Stat businesses
included approximately $1.0 million in cash and approximately $0.2 million in 
promissory notes. In addition, a $1.0 million contingent payment may be made if
certain earnings targets are attained over the next five years. The
acquisitions have been treated as purchases for accounting and financial
reporting purposes.

On May 31, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Arbors
at Fairlawn, a 150-bed nursing and assisted living facility, for approximately
$6.7 million in cash and assumed certain liabilities of $3.8 million for a total
purchase price of approximately $10.5 million. On June 30, 1995, the Company
acquired all of the outstanding stock of The Druggist, Inc. ("Druggist"), an
institutional pharmacy, for approximately $10.5 million in cash and notes, and
exchanged 49,937 shares of its Common Stock for all of the outstanding shares of
Alternacare Plus Enterprises, Inc. ("Alternacare"), a provider of medical and 
enteral feeding supplies and Medicare billing services. Additional
consideration of up to $2.5 million may be required for the Druggist
acquisition if certain earnings targets are attained over the next five years.

Results of operations of companies purchased and the immaterial pooling of
Alternacare are included from the dates of acquisition.

3.       LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

On February 15, 1996, the Company closed a $27.0 million financing package
($13.5 million at a fixed interest rate of 7.75% and $13.5 million at a variable
interest rate) for six Centers that was used to repay $24.2 million of debt. The
notes are collateralized by real estate, equipment and accounts receivable and
are payable in semi-annual installments and lump sums through February, 2003.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

         The Company was formed in 1985 and had an initial public offering of
its Common Stock in August 1993. As more fully described in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company provides subacute
and basic health care services to patients in centers ("Centers") located in
five states and operates three institutional pharmacies, one in Ohio and two in
Florida. The Company's growth strategy includes the development of new
facilities and selected acquisitions in its primary markets. During 1995, the
Company developed and opened two 120-bed Centers, one in April and one in
October, acquired a 150-bed Center on May 31, 1995 and on June 30, 1995 acquired
an institutional pharmacy and a provider of medical supplies and Medicare
billing services. The Company opened a 79-bed center in April, 1996 and
purchased two businesses that provide medical supplies and Medicare billing
services effective June 30, 1996. The Company operated 3,342 beds in its 28
Centers at June 30, 1996. The Company's institutional pharmacies service 128
non-affiliated facilities and 27 of the Company's Centers. Refer to Note 2 to
the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Ongoing efforts by third party 
payors to contain health care costs by limiting reimbursement rates, increasing
case management review and negotiating reduced contract pricing affect the
Company's revenues and profitability. The Company has begun to implement a
strategy to lower costs and improve margins of its managed care business and is
positioning itself for proposed changes in Medicare reimbursement.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE  30, 1995

         For the three months ended June 30, 1996 total net revenues of $52.6
million increased $5.9 million, or 12.7%, from the three months ended June 30,
1995. Approximately 40.5% of the revenue increase was derived from internal
growth and the balance from acquisitions made during 1995. Same Store (Centers
and pharmacies in operation for 24 months or more in the period being reported
upon) revenue declined 4.4% from the comparable period in 1995 primarily due to
lower rates. Medicare rates, which are cost based, declined approximately 10% as
a result of the Company's cost reduction efforts. Additionally, average
insurance rates, which are a blend of commercial insurance and managed care
rates, are approximately 18% lower due to a higher proportion of managed care
patients in the insurance census. Revenue growth from Start-Ups (Centers and
pharmacies in operation for less than 24 months in the period being reported
upon) was approximately 75.0% of the 12.7% increase in revenue. Subacute care
revenues (which accounted for 50.2% of total revenues) increased $0.7 million
due to the addition of new beds during the year. Basic care revenues increased
$3.1 million ($1.2 million from higher rates and $1.9 million from new beds
added during the year); and pharmacy and other revenues increased $2.1 million
due to the June 30, 1995 institutional pharmacy acquisition. Same Store subacute
revenue declined $2.7 million from the comparable period in 1995 (primarily due
to lower rates as discussed above). Same Store growth provided $1.0 million of
the basic care revenue increase (primarily due to higher Medicaid rates). The
remaining subacute and basic care revenue growth came from four Start-Up Centers
and the acquisition of one Center in May, 1995.

         Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996 of $41.8
million increased $4.5 million, or 12.2%, over the comparable period in 1995.
Operating costs increased at a slower pace than revenue. In fact, as a percent
of revenue, operating costs decreased to 79.3% from 79.7% for the comparable
period in 1995, due to lower operating costs at Same Store Centers and the
effect of the pharmacy acquisition made during 1995. The increased costs were 
due to four Start-Up Centers, the acquisition of one Center acquired in May,
1995, and the June 30, 1995 institutional pharmacy acquisition. Center
personnel compensation expenses of $19.4 million (which are included in
operating expenses) increased by $1.5 million, or 8.4%, over the comparable
period in 1995. The four Start-Up Centers and the Center acquired in May, 1995
accounted for a $2.2 million increase in Center personnel compensation
expenses, which was partially offset by cost control efforts at mature centers.
The cost of providing additional pharmaceuticals, therapies, and medical
supplies increased operating expenses by $2.3 million, while the net effect of
other cost increases and decreases reflected an overall net increase of $0.7
million primarily resulting from four Start-Up Centers and the  acquisition of  
one Center in May, 1995. 

         General corporate expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996 of
$2.2 million decreased $0.2 million, or 7.6%, from the comparable period in
1995. This change was primarily caused by a reduction in



                                        7


<PAGE>   8



expenses related to professional services and recruiting and relocation costs.
As a percentage of revenue, general corporate expenses declined to 4.1% from
5.0% in the comparable period of the prior year.

         Center ownership costs for the three months ended June 30, 1996 of $5.0
million increased $0.8 million, or 19.6%, over the three months ended June 30,
1995. The increase in ownership costs is due to four Start-Up Centers and the
acquisition of one Center and an institutional pharmacy.

         Net income increased by $0.4 million, or 22.0%, from the comparable
period in 1995, primarily as a result of the foregoing factors, notwithstanding
an increase in the effective income tax rate from 38.6% to 39.8%. The increase
in the tax rate was due to the discontinuance of the targeted jobs tax credit.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

         For the six months ended June 30, 1996 total net revenues of $105.1
million increased $14.8 million, or 16.4%, from the six months ended June 30,
1995. Approximately 51.4% of the revenue increase was derived from internal
growth and the balance from acquisitions made during 1995. Same Store revenue
declined approximately 1.2% from the comparable period in 1995 primarily due to
lower rates. Medicare rates, which are cost based, declined approximately 7% as
a result of the Company's cost reduction efforts. Additionally, average
insurance rates, which are a blend of commercial insurance and managed care
rates, are approximately 16% lower due to a higher proportion of managed care
patients in the insurance census. Revenue growth from Start-Ups provided
approximately 58.4% of the 16.4% increase in revenue. Subacute care revenues
(which accounted for 51.2% of total revenues) increased $4.7 million due to the
addition of new beds during the year. Basic care revenues increased $6.2 million
($2.4 million from higher rates and $3.8 million from new beds added during the
year); and pharmacy and other revenues increased $3.9 million due to the June
30, 1995 institutional pharmacy acquisition. Same Store subacute revenue
declined $2.0 million from the comparable period in 1995 (due to lower rates as
discussed above). Same Store growth provided $2.0 million of the basic care
revenue increase (primarily due to higher Medicaid rates). The remaining revenue
growth came from four Start-Up Centers and the acquisition of one Center in May,
1995.

         Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 of $83.4
million increased $11.3 million, or 15.7%, over the comparable period in 1995.
Operating costs increase at s slower pace than revenue. In fact, as a percent 
of revenue, operating costs decreased to 79.4% from 79.9% for the comparable
period in 1995, due to lower routine operating costs at Same Store Centers and
the effect of the pharmacy acquisition made during 1995. The increased costs
were due to four Start-Up Centers, the acquisition of one Center in May, 1995,
and the June 30, 1995 institutional pharmacy acquisition. Center personnel
compensation expenses of $39.1 million (which are included in operating
expenses) increased by $4.0 million, or 11.5%, over the comparable period in
1995. The four Start-Up Centers and the Center acquired in May, 1995 accounted
for a $4.5 million increase in Center personnel compensation expenses, which
was partially offset by cost control efforts at mature centers. The cost of
providing additional pharmaceuticals, therapies and medical supplies increased
operating expenses by $5.7 million, while the net effect of other cost
increases and decreases reflected an overall net increase of $1.6 million
primarily resulting from four Start-Up Centers and the acquisition of one
Center in May, 1995. 

         General corporate expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 of
$4.7 million increased $0.1 million, or 2.4%, over the comparable period in
1995. As a percentage of revenue, general corporate expenses declined to 4.5%
from 5.1% in the comparable period of the prior year.

         Center ownership costs for the six months ended June 30, 1996 of $9.8
million increased $1.9 million, or 23.4%, over the six months ended June 30,
1995. The increase in ownership costs is due primarily to four Start-Up Centers
and the acquisition of one Center and an institutional pharmacy in 1995.

         Net income increased by $0.8 million, or 23.2%, from the comparable
period in 1995, primarily as a result of the foregoing factors, notwithstanding
an increase in the effective income tax rate from 38.7% to 39.9%. The increase
in the tax rate was due to the discontinuance of the targeted jobs tax credit.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's growth during the last two years has been financed with
cash from operating and financing activities. The Company's cash from operating
activities was $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to
$11.4 million for the comparable period last year. Cash provided by financing
activities was $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Expenditures
for investing activities totaled

                                        8


<PAGE>   9



$15.8 million, including development of Centers, renovations to existing
Centers, the Poly-Stat acquisition and the purchase of a company airplane.

         At June 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $8.3 million
compared to $4.2 million at December 31, 1995. Accounts receivable net of
allowances were $37.4 million at June 30, 1996 compared to $36.2 million at
December 31, 1995. The number of days of net revenues for the quarter in net
receivables increased to 65 at June 30, 1996 from 64 at December 31, 1995.

         The Company has revolving credit facilities ("Credit Facilities") with
four banks that are renewable on an annual basis. These Credit Facilities
provide amounts for working capital, letters of credit and acquisition/
development financing of $4.6 million, $4.4 million and $48.6 million,
respectively. At June 30, 1996, $2.6 million of letters of credit were
outstanding and $22.2 million had been committed for acquisition and development
purposes. The annual rates charged by the banks vary. Interest rates on the
working capital lines range from London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") plus
1.5% to prime and on the acquisition/development facilities from LIBOR plus
1.75% to prime. Annual fees of 1.0% are charged to the Company by the banks
issuing letters of credit under these Credit Facilities.

         Long-term obligations, including current maturities, which provide
funds for long-term financing of Centers and acquisitions, totaled approximately
$92.0 million at June 30, 1996. These obligations are for varying amounts and
for terms that expire at varying times over the next 17 years. Interest rates on
outstanding obligations ranged from 3.58% to 10.78% at June 30, 1996. The
Company has been successful in finding permanent financing and refinancing
existing debt while using its Credit Facilities as interim sources of financing
when appropriate.

         The Company has various ongoing needs for capital, including (i)
working capital for operations; (ii) capital expenditures for its Centers or
corporate office; and (iii) capital expenditures for the development of new
Centers and acquisitions. During the remainder of 1996, the Company expects to
utilize approximately $8.5 million for completion of a Center in Pensacola,
Florida and the development of two to three additional Centers; $2.6 million for
Center renovations; and $4.3 million for other capital expenditures. The Company
expects to complete the development of three Centers during 1996 and two to
three Centers in 1997, at a cost of $6.0 to $7.5 million for a typical 120-bed
Center. Management believes when all sources of capital are considered,
including cash to be generated by operating activities, credit facilities likely
to be available, and other financing activities to be undertaken, that
sufficient capital resources will be available to carry out anticipated
undertakings during the next 12 to 24 months.

         Recent federal budget discussions have targeted the Medicare program
for savings in spending of approximately $10 billion. Approximately 36% of the
Company's revenue is derived from Medicare. While any legislation of the
magnitude of the current proposals could have a significant effect on the
Company, the Company will attempt to offset any cuts by making certain cost
reductions, changing patient mix and acuity, or increasing revenue from other
payor sources such as managed care. Until the ultimate form of any new
legislation is known, the Company will not be able to determine its financial
impact. In anticipation of such changes, the Company has begun to reduce costs
and to focus on increasing revenue from managed care payors. Additionally, the
House and Senate both have proposed changes to the welfare program, which
includes Medicaid, in the form of block grants with the objective of limiting
growth to a predetermined amount. Approximately 31% of the Company's revenue is
derived from Medicaid. The exact nature of the proposals and their effects are
not readily apparent. The individual state welfare programs will dictate the
nature of the changes and, as such, the effects will vary from state to state.
The Company can give no assurance that payments under such programs in the
future will remain at a level comparable to the present level or be sufficient
to cover the costs allocable to such patients.

more Loans to the Company:

     (a) For the period through May 31, 1998, the Bank agrees to make available

and conditions of which may be adjusted from time to time under mutual consent.
Each portion of the Loan representing advances applied for the acquisition or

herein as the "Facility Loan." Each Facility Loan shall be evidenced by a
Promissory Note (individually and collectively referred to as the "Note") of the

interest, term, principal amount and amortization specified in this Section, may
be adjusted by Bank to reflect changes in laws and regulations subsequent to
this Agreement. The Company may at any time, or from time to time, prepay the
Note, in whole or in part without penalty.

     (b) There is currently one note outstanding, in the original principal
amount of Four Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,200,000), which

currently outstanding or that may be outstanding in the future.

of acquiring and/or developing health care and retirement centers or related
businesses, the Bank will lend no more than ninety percent (90%) of the purchase
price, development cost, or leasehold interest of any such center. With respect
to Loans for the refinancing of any debt of Company, the Bank will lend no more
than ninety percent (90%) of the appraised value of the center securing the
debt. The Bank reserves the right to approve all terms and conditions of any
Loan in its reasonable discretion, including, without limitation, the Bank
reserves the right to require that a mortgage or mortgages be given as security
for any Loan.

     Section 2.3. INTEREST RATE.

     (a) Each advance on the Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to the LIBOR rate plus 200 basis points or at the Prime Rate. When interest is
at the Prime Rate, in the event of any change in the Prime Rate, the rate of
interest upon such Loan shall be adjusted to immediately correspond with such
change, except such interest rate shall not exceed the highest rate permitted by
law.

     (b) Whenever any Event of Default occurs and continues and/or the unpaid
principal amount of the Loan(s), and accrued interest thereon, or any fees or
any other sum payable hereunder, shall become due and payable and remain unpaid
(whether by acceleration or otherwise), the amount thereof shall thereafter
until paid in full bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of:
two percent (2%) in excess of the rate of interest in effect prior to the Event
of Default or two percent (2%) in excess of the Prime Rate in effect from time
to time, which rate shall be adjusted in the manner described in Section 2.3 (a)
above.

     Section 2.4. INTEREST PAYMENTS. The Company shall pay to the Bank interest
on the unpaid principal balance of all Loan(s) at the rates and in the amount
calculated in accordance with Section 2.3 above, and continuing quarterly
thereafter and at maturity as provided in Exhibit A and any amendments thereto.

     Section 2.5. FEES. The Company shall pay to the Bank a commitment fee
computed at a rate of one-fourth of one percent (1/4 of 1%) per annum
(calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days
elapsed) on the average daily unused amount of the commitment of the Bank to
make the Loans in accordance with Section 2.1(a) hereof during the period from
the date of this



                                       4

Agreement to the Termination Date, payable starting September 30, 1996 and
continuing quarterly thereafter, and on the Termination Date, with respect to
the portion of such preceding period as to which such fee has accrued and
remains unpaid.

     Section 2.6. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES. Interest on Loans and unpaid
fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the
actual number of days elapsed.

     Section 2.7. EURODOLLAR DEPOSITS UNAVAILABLE OR INTEREST RATE
UNASCERTAINABLE. In respect of any Term Loans, in the event that Bank shall have
determined that Eurodollar deposits of the relevant amount for the relevant
Interest Period for such Term Loans are not available to the Reference Bank in
the applicable Eurodollar Market or that, by reason of circumstances affecting
such market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
LIBOR rate applicable to such Interest Period, as the case may be, Bank shall
promptly give notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Borrower
shall be obligated to prepay any outstanding Term Loans on the last day of the
then current Interest Period or Periods with respect thereto, or select an
interest rate based on the Prime Rate for such Term Loan.

     Section 2.8. CHANGES IN LAW RENDERING LIBOR LOANS UNLAWFUL. If at any time
any new law, treaty, or regulation, or any change in any existing law, treaty,
or regulation, or any interpretation thereof by any governmental or other
regulatory authority charged with the administration thereof, shall make it
unlawful for Bank to fund any Term Loans which it is committed to make hereunder
with moneys obtained in the Eurodollar market, the commitment of Bank to fund
Term Loans shall, upon the happening of such event forthwith be suspended for
the duration of such illegality, and Bank shall by written notice to the
Borrower declare that its Commitment with respect to such Term Loans has been so
suspended and, if and when such illegality ceases to exist, such suspension
shall cease and Bank shall similarly notify the Borrower. If any such change
shall make it unlawful for Bank to continue in effect the funding in the
applicable Eurodollar market of any Term Loan previously made by it hereunder,
Bank shall, upon the happening of such event, notify the Borrower thereof in

                                        1

 2.      CONSIDERATION FOR THE SHARES.
         -----------------------------

         In consideration of the sale and transfer to the Purchaser by the
Shareholder of the Shares as provided in Section 1 of this Agreement, at the
Closing the Purchaser shall deliver to the Shareholder the following:

         (a)      $686,300.00 in immediately available funds (the "Cash"); and

         (b)      A promissory note (the "Note") in the principal amount of
                  $117,702.14, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

3.       CONTINGENT PAYMENT.
         -------------------

         The Purchaser shall pay the Shareholder up to two (2) contingent
payments, the first in the amount of $415,440.00 and the second in the amount of
$276,960.00 (individually, a "Contingent Payment" and collectively, the
"Contingent Payments"), which relate to the financial performance of the Company
and Poly-Stat Computer Applications, Inc., an Ohio corporation affiliated with
the Company ("PSCA") (the Company and PSCA are hereinafter collectively referred
to as the "Group"), over the next five years after acquisition of the Group by
the Purchaser. The Contingent Payments shall only be payable as hereinafter set
forth:

         3.1 GROSS MARGIN TARGETS. The Shareholder shall be entitled to receive
the Contingent Payment(s) only as follows:

               (a)  If the aggregate gross margin of the Group, for the period
                    beginning January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1998 equals
                    or exceeds $2,370,000.00 (the "First Gross Margin Target"),
                    then the Shareholder shall be entitled to the first
                    Contingent Payment in the amount of $415,440.00.

               (b)  If the aggregate gross margin of the Group, for the period
                    beginning January 1, 1999 through December 31, 2000 equals
                    or exceeds $2,456,000.00 (the "Second Gross Margin Target"),
                    then the Shareholder shall be entitled to the second
                    Contingent Payment in the amount of $276,960.00.

               (c)  If the first Contingent Payment as described in Section
                    3.1(a) is not made because the First Gross Margin Target was
                    not achieved, the Purchaser shall nonetheless pay the
                    Shareholder the amount of both Contingent Payments if the
                    aggregate gross margin of the Group equals or exceeds
                    $4,826,000.00 (the "Final Gross Margin Target") for the
                    period beginning January 1, 1996 through December 31, 2000.
                    In such event, no further Contingent Payment shall be
                    payable, it being the intention of the parties that the
                    maximum amount of the Contingent Payments payable to the
                    Shareholder shall be $692,400.00.


                                       2

     3.2. CALCULATIONS. As used herein "gross margin" shall mean the income of
the Group before deductions for interest, depreciation, office lease expense,
amortization of goodwill, allocation of the Purchaser's or its affiliates'
(other than the Group) corporate overhead and income taxes. When determining the
amount of gross margin generated by the Group, revenues shall include: (i) sales
of PSCA of billing services; (ii) sales of the Company of urological and ostomy
supplies, surgical dressings, nutritional supplies (enteral nutrients - tube fed
and supplemental nutrients), oxygen supplies (including concentrators and
E-tanks but excluding respiratory supplies associated with concentrators and
excluding liquid oxygen), and tracheostomy supplies (including tracheostomy
clean and care kits but excluding suction catheters and trachs); and (iii) sales
of durable medical equipment.

         In determining whether the Contingent Payment(s) have been achieved,
the Shareholder may elect to include a portion of the Gross Margin From Druggist
Sales (as hereinafter defined and described). The Gross Margin From Druggist
Sales shall be equal to twenty percent (20%) of the revenues less contractual
allowances derived annually from new sales of pharmacy and respiratory services
provided by The Druggist, Inc., an Ohio corporation which is an affiliate of the
Purchaser or any other affiliates of the Purchaser (collectively, the
"Druggist"), generated by the Shareholder and as further described in Sections
3.1(b) and (c) of the Employment Agreement (as that term is hereinafter defined
in Section 6.4 of this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
stated herein, the amount of the Gross Margin From Druggist Sales which the
Shareholder may elect to utilize for determining whether the gross margin
targets have been met shall be limited as follows:

         (a) An amount not to exceed $704,500.00 of the Gross Margin From
Druggist Sales generated for the period beginning July 1, 1996 through December
31, 1998 may be utilized in determining whether the First Gross Margin Target
has been achieved; and

         (b) An amount not to exceed $735,500.00 of the Gross Margin From
Druggist Sales generated for the period beginning January 1, 1999 through
December 31, 2000 may be utilized in determining whether the Second Gross Margin
Target has been achieved.

         (c) If the First Gross Margin Target was not attained, an amount not to
exceed $1,440,000.00 of the Gross Margin From Druggist Sales generated for the
period beginning July 1, 1996 through December 31, 2000 may be utilized in
determining whether the Final Gross Margin Target has been achieved.

         An election by Shareholder to include any portion of the Gross Margin
From Druggist Sales must be made within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser has
delivered to the Shareholder its written report detailing the computation of the
Gross Margin From Druggist Sales at the end of the applicable period set forth
in (a) through (c) above. In the event there is a dispute regarding such
computation, the Shareholder may defer such election until the dispute is
settled.

         3.3. PAYMENT(S) OF THE CONTINGENT PAYMENT(S). The Contingent Payment(s)
shall be paid to the Shareholder, if due, as follows: 72.5% of the amount due
shall be paid in cash, and 27.5% shall be paid by delivery from the Purchaser of
a corresponding number of shares of its Common Stock, par value $.03 per share
(the "Purchaser's Shares"), the exact number of shares to be determined by
dividing 27.5% of the amount of the Contingent Payment due by $27.50, such price
being the approximate fair market value of the Purchaser's Shares over the last
30 days. Therefore, such price shall be adjusted accordingly for any stock
splits or stock dividends between the date hereof and the date such shares are
delivered to the Shareholder hereunder. Payment(s) of the Contingent Payment(s)
shall be made within 20 days after completion of the audit of the Purchaser's
financial statements for the relevant period.

         3.4. RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The Shareholder acknowledges and agrees
that the Purchaser's Shares deliverable in accordance with the terms hereof will
be restricted securities. At the time of such delivery, the Shareholder shall
provide the Purchaser with a Shareholder's Agreement in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B as a precondition of receiving same.

         3.5. ACCOUNTING. The Purchaser will cause appropriate accountants to
prepare a computation of gross margin of the Group and the Druggist to be
prepared each year. In conjunction with the audit of the Purchaser's financial
statements the Purchaser's independent auditors will be instructed to review
such computation for conformity with the terms of this Agreement. In addition,
the Shareholder or his agent shall have the right to examine all relevant books
and records of the Group and the Druggist or other relevant affiliates of the
Purchaser at all reasonable times and places. In the event the Company or PSCA
is no longer a separate entity, or if other companies, divisions or lines of
business of the Purchaser or its affiliates are added within the Group, separate
books and records shall be maintained for purposes of calculating the gross
margins of the Group as if such combination or addition had not taken place.

 4.      REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS OF THE
         -------------------------------------------------
         SHAREHOLDER.

         product at a price which, in view of currently prevailing and projected
         costs of raw materials, would result, when all such sales commitments
         are taken in the aggregate, in a loss to the Company. The Company has
         not rendered billings for or collected progress or other advance

Schedules, or in any certificate, instrument or other document or agreement
executed by the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement or otherwise made or
given in writing in connection with this Agreement by the Purchaser, except to
the extent the Shareholder was aware of such inaccuracy or breach at the
Closing, (ii) any failure by the Purchaser to perform or observe any covenant,
agreement or condition to be performed or observed by it under this Agreement or
under any certificates or other documents or agreements executed it in
connection with this Agreement, and (iii) claims relating to the enforcement of
the Shareholder's rights under this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the total
amount for which the Purchaser shall be liable pursuant hereto shall not exceed
$1,496,402.14. If any claim covered by the foregone indemnity is asserted
against the Shareholder, the Shareholder shall notify the Purchaser promptly and
give it an opportunity in connection with such defense. In the event that the
Purchaser fails to defend the same within a reasonable time, the Shareholder
shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof and the Purchaser shall be
liable to repay the Shareholder for all of its expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with such defense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
settlement payments).

         7.3. RIGHTS OF SET OFF. If the Purchaser, in its sole discretion,
determines that it is or is reasonably expected to be entitled to
indemnification for any amounts (collectively, the "Amounts Subject to
Indemnification") pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Agreement, then the Purchaser
may, in lieu of or in addition to pursuing its rights of indemnification from
the Shareholder, give notice to the Shareholder that: (i) it is reducing any
amounts due the Shareholder under the Note by an amount equal to the Amounts
Subject to Indemnification, such reduction to be treated as first credited
against interest accrued but not yet paid and then a pre-payment of principal
without penalty; and/or (ii) reduce any Contingent Payment (including the amount
of any of the Purchaser's Shares) due the Shareholder by an amount equal to the
Amounts Subject to Indemnification.

8.       MUTUAL FURTHER ASSURANCE AND AGREEMENTS.

                  For value received, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the undersigned, ARBOR HEALTH CARE COMPANY, a Delaware

("Payee") or his heirs, personal representatives and assigns, at 1309 Durness
Court, Worthington, OH 43235-4582, or at such other place as the holder hereof
may, from time to time, designate in writing, the outstanding principal balance
of One Hundred Seventeen Thousand Seven Hundred Two and 14/100 Dollars
($117,702.14), with simple interest on the unpaid principal sum thereof at a
rate of seven and one-half percent (7 1/2%) per year, payable at the times and
on the terms as hereinafter provided in this promissory note (the "Note"):

               1.   Interest hereon and the principal sum shall be paid in
                    lawful money of the United States of America.

               2.   Payor shall pay the interest accrued hereon semi-annually in
                    arrears, beginning December 31, 1996 and continuing on June
                    30, 1997 and December 31, 1997. Payor shall pay the
                    principal hereof, together with all interest accrued to
                    date, on the date that is eighteen (18) months from the date

                    Note, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be
                    allowed at any time. Any partial prepayment shall be applied

                    principal, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement (as
                    that term is defined in paragraph 4 hereof). Any such

                    installment.

               4.   The principal amount of this Note and/or accrued interest
                    thereon may be reduced in the manner specified in Section 7:

                    dated as of June 30, 1996 (the "Agreement").

               5.   The happening of the following event shall be deemed a
                    default under this Note: default by Payor in the payment of
                    any installment of principal or interest when due under this
                    Note and the same shall remain unpaid for a period of ten
                    (10) days after written notice thereof has been delivered to
                    Payor.

               6.   In the event of a default under this Note, the holder hereof
                    may by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by him

                    that the entire principal balance then owing shall bear
                    interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per year, or (b)

                                     [Date]

Arbor Health Care Company
1100 Shawnee Road
P.O. Box 840
Lima, OH  45802

Gentlemen:

         This letter (the "Shareholder's Agreement") is being furnished to you
pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Share Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") dated
as of June __, 1996, by and among Arbor Health Care Company, a Delaware
corporation (the "Purchaser"), and Robert Q. Baker (the "Shareholder"). Unless
the context requires a different use or meaning, the capitalized words and terms
used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

         The undersigned Shareholder hereby represents to and agrees with the
Purchaser as follows:

         1. The undersigned understands that the Purchaser has not filed a
registration statement under the 1933 Act covering the resale of the Purchaser's
Shares and that the Purchaser is not obligated to file such a registration
statement.

         2. The undersigned will not offer, sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate
or otherwise dispose of any of the Purchaser's Shares except (i) in accordance
with Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (ii) in a transaction which, in the opinion of
counsel to the Purchaser, is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, or
(iii) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed in compliance with
the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws. The undersigned will
furnish to the Purchaser such information and documents as the Purchaser may
reasonably request in connection with any disposition of the Purchaser's Shares.

         3. The undersigned further agrees that he will not offer, sell,
transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of any of the Purchaser's
Shares until such time as financial results covering at least 30 days of
combined operations of the Purchaser and the Company shall have been published
within the meaning of Section 201.01 of the SEC's Codification of Financial
Reporting Policies.

         4. The certificates evidencing the Purchaser's Shares will bear a
restrictive legend in substantially the following form:


<PAGE>   27


         The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). Reference is made
to the Shareholder's Agreement between the issuer and the registered holder
hereof, a copy of which is on file with the issuer, to the effect that the
shares may only be offered, sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise disposed of (i) in accordance with Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (ii)
in a transaction which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer, is exempt from
registration under the 1933 Act, or (iii) pursuant to an effective registration
statement filed in compliance with the 1933 Act and any applicable state
securities laws; and other restrictions on resales as provided in the
Shareholder's Agreement.

         5. The undersigned understands that the Purchaser will issue stop
transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to the foregoing
restrictions on the disposition of the Purchaser's Shares.

         6. The information provided on (i) the attached Purchaser
Questionnaire, and (ii) if the undersigned is not an "accredited investor"
within the meaning of Regulation D, as adopted by the SEC, the attached
Purchaser Representative Questionnaire, is true, complete and accurate in all
respects.

         7. The undersigned is acquiring his portion of the Purchaser's Shares
for his own account for investment within the meaning of the 1933 Act.

         8. The undersigned understands that no aspect of the contemplated share
purchase transaction has been or will be registered with or reviewed by the SEC
under the 1933 Act, or with or by any state securities law administrator, and no
federal or state securities law administrator has approved any disclosure or
other material concerning the Purchaser or the Purchaser's Shares, or made any
recommendation with respect thereto. The undersigned, personally or with the
assistance of his purchaser representative, has sufficient knowledge and
experience in business and financial matters that he is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of the proposed share purchase transaction, and he has
investigated the merits and risks of the transaction. The undersigned has been
provided with the Annual Report to Shareholders and Annual Report on Form 10-K
of the Purchaser for the year ended December 31, 199_, and the subsequent
reports filed by the Purchaser with the SEC pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and has had the opportunity to ask
questions of, and receive answers from, members of the management of the
Purchaser.

<PAGE>   31



such termination at the rate in effect at the time of such termination, and the
Employer shall have no further obligations to Executive under this Agreement
except for commissions payable pursuant to Sections 3.1(b) and (c) hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, termination for Cause under this Section 4.2
shall not relieve Executive of his obligations under Section 5 below.

Section 5. NON-COMPETE: CONFIDENTIALITY.
           ----------------------------

          5.1 NON-COMPETE COVENANT. Executive agrees that, during the period
that Executive is employed pursuant to this Agreement and for one (1) year
thereafter, he will not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner,
officer, employee, agent or consultant, engage in or be employed in any way by
any business engaged in the business of selling enteral nutrients and other
medical supplies, institutional pharmacy sales, respiratory therapy, Medicare
Part B billing or other related ancillary business or nursing home operations
within the states that the Employer currently operates in or will operate in;
provided, however, that in no event shall this Section 5.1 preclude Executive
from owning less than 5% of the outstanding voting stock of any publicly-traded
corporation.

          5.2 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Executive shall hold in a fiduciary
capacity for the benefit of the Corporation all secret or confidential
information, knowledge or date relating to the Employer or any of its affiliated
companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by
Executive during his employment by the Employer and which shall not have been
public knowledge. During and after the end of the Term, Executive shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Employer, communicate or divulge any
such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Employer and those
designated by it; except the foregoing prohibition shall not apply to the extent
such information, knowledge or date (a) was publicly known at the time of
disclosure to Executive, (b) becomes publicly known or available thereafter
other than by any means in violation of this Agreement, or (c) is required to be
disclosed by Executive as a matter of law or pursuant to any court or regulatory
order.

          5.3 REMEDIES. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that his
obligations under this Section 5 are of a special, unique and extraordinary
character and that a failure to perform any such obligation or a violation
thereof may cause irreparable injury to the Employer, the amount of which will
be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately
compensated. Therefore, Executive agrees that, the Employer shall be entitled,
as a matter of course, to an injunction, restraining order, writ of mandamus or
other equitable belief from any court of competent jurisdiction, including
relief in the form of specific performance, restraining any violation or
threatened violation of any term of this Section 5, or requiring compliance with
or performance of any obligation under this Section 5 by Executive and such
other persons as the court shall order. The rights and remedies provided the
Employer hereunder are cumulative and shall be in addition to the rights and
remedies otherwise available to the Employer under any other agreement or
applicable law, including the right to terminate Executive's employment for
Cause pursuant to Section 4.2 above in the event any violation of Section 5
shall constitute Cause.

          6.1 OBLIGATION TO PAY COMMISSION. The Employer's obligation to pay
commissions to Executive or his heirs, successors or assigns in accordance to
Sections 3.1(b) and (c) hereunder shall not be affected by the termination of
this Agreement.

Executive elects to utilize the new sales he generates for Druggist or other
applicable affiliate for gross margin calculations as described in Section 3.2
of that certain Share Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the "Purchase
Agreement") entered into by Executive and Arbor, then he shall not be entitled
to any commission(s) that he would otherwise be entitled in accordance with
Sections 3.1(b) and (c) hereunder for that portion of sales Executive elects to
include in such calculations. Furthermore, in the event that any such
commissions shall have been paid by Druggist to Executive prior to his election
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, then Executive shall be liable for repayment
of the gross amount of all such commissions paid and utilized in such gross
margin calculation. In addition, the Employer shall be entitled to set off the
amount of such commissions improperly paid against any other payments due or to
become due Executive hereunder or pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

          6.3 PAYMENT OF COMMISSIONS. Druggist shall not pay any commissions to
which Executive may otherwise be entitled unless and until Executive has so
instructed Druggist in writing.

Section 7. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISION.
           -----------------------

         7.1 WITHHOLDING. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, all payments required to be made by the Employer hereunder to
Executive or his estate or beneficiaries shall be subject to the withholding of
such amounts, if any, relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the
Employer may reasonably determine it is required to withhold pursuant to any
applicable law or regulation. In lieu of withholding such amounts, the Employer
may accept other provisions to the end that it has sufficient funds to pay all
taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of any and all of such payments.

         7.2 ACCESS TO RECORDS. Executive shall have the right to examine all
relevant books and records of Druggist or other applicable affiliate, at all
reasonable times and places, for the purpose of verifying the computation of
sales commissions that may be due to him. Druggist or other applicable affiliate
shall provide Executive a copy of all Medicaid remittance advises submitted by
Druggist or other applicable affiliate in connection with contracts or sales for
which Executive may be due a commission in accordance with Sections 3.1(b) or
(c) hereof.

         7.3 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; CAPTIONS. This Agreement contains that entire
understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
The captions and section headings of this Agreement are solely for convenience
of reference and shall not affect the interpretation of any provision hereof.

hypothecate, anticipate or in any way create a lien or security interest upon
any amounts provided under this Agreement; and no benefits payable hereunder

involuntary acts, or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent
and distribution.

          7.6 GOVERNING LAW. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.

          7.7 AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended or cancelled only by
mutual agreement of the parties, or their respective successors, in writing.

         7.8 SUCCESSORS. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of PSSC, PSCA and Druggist and
any respective successor thereof.

         7.9 SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision or portion of this
Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall
remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction, and any such invalid or
unenforceable provision shall not be considered invalid or unenforceable in any
other jurisdiction.

         7.10 DIVESTURE. Within thirty (30) days from the date hereof, Executive

 2.      CONSIDERATION FOR THE TOTAL SHAREHOLDERS' SHARES.
         ------------------------------------------------

         In consideration of the sale and transfer to the Purchaser by the
Shareholders of the Total Shareholders' Shares as provided in Section 1 of this
Agreement, at the Closing the Purchaser shall deliver to the Shareholders the
following:

          (a)  $153,800.00 in immediately available funds (the "Cash") to each
               Shareholder; and

          (b)  A promissory note (the "Note") in the principal amount of
               $37,400.00, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, to each 
               Shareholder.

3.       CONTINGENT PAYMENT.
         ------------------

         The Purchaser shall pay each Shareholder up to two (2) contingent
payments, the first in the amount of $92,280.00 and the second in the amount of
$61,520.00 (individually, a "Contingent Payment" and collectively, the
"Contingent Payments"), which relate to the financial performance of the Company
and Poly-Stat Supply Corporation, an Ohio corporation affiliated with the
Company ("PSSC") (the Company and PSSC are hereinafter collectively referred to
as the "Group"), over the next five years after acquisition of the Group by the
Purchaser. The Contingent Payments shall only be payable as hereinafter set
forth:

         3.1 GROSS MARGIN TARGETS. The Shareholders shall be entitled to receive
the Contingent Payment(s) only as follows:

                  (a)      If the aggregate gross margin of the Group, for the
                           period beginning January 1, 1996 through December 31,
                           1998 equals or exceeds $2,370,000.00 (the "First
                           Gross Margin Target"), then the Shareholders shall
                           each be entitled to the first Contingent Payment in
                           the amount of $92,280.00.

                  (b)      If the aggregate gross margin of the Group, for the
                           period beginning January 1, 1999 through December 31,
                           2000 equals or exceeds $2,456,000.00 (the "Second
                           Gross Margin Target"), then the Shareholders shall
                           each be entitled to the second Contingent Payment in
                           the amount of $61,520.00.

                  (c)      If the first Contingent Payment as described in
                           Section 3.1(a) is not made because the First Gross
                           Margin Target was not achieved, the Purchaser shall
                           nonetheless pay each Shareholder the amount of both
                           Contingent Payments if the aggregate gross margin of
                           the Group equals or exceeds $4,826,000.00 (the "Final
                           Gross Margin Target") for the period beginning
                           January 1, 1996 through December 31, 2000. In such
                           event, no further

                                        2


<PAGE>   3



                           Contingent Payment shall be payable, it being the
                           intention of the parties that the maximum amount of
                           the Contingent Payments payable to each Shareholder
                           shall be $153,800.00 (or $307,600.00 in the
                           aggregate).

         3.2. CALCULATIONS. As used herein "gross margin" shall mean the income
of the Group before deductions for interest, depreciation, office lease expense,
amortization of goodwill, allocation of the Purchaser's or its affiliates'
(other than the Group) corporate overhead and income taxes. When determining the
amount of gross margin generated by the Group, revenues shall include: (i) sales
of the Company; (ii) sales of the PSSC of urological and ostomy supplies,
surgical dressings, nutritional supplies (enteral nutrients - tube fed and
supplemental nutrients), oxygen supplies (including concentrators and E-tanks
but excluding respiratory supplies associated with concentrators and excluding
liquid oxygen), and tracheostomy supplies (including tracheostomy clean and care
kits but excluding suction catheters and trachs); and (iii) sales of durable
medical equipment.

         In determining whether the Contingent Payment(s) have been achieved,
Baker may elect to include a portion of the Gross Margin From Druggist Sales (as
hereinafter defined and described). The Gross Margin From Druggist Sales shall
be equal to twenty percent (20%) of the revenues less contractual allowances
derived annually from new sales of pharmacy and respiratory services provided by
The Druggist, Inc., an Ohio corporation which is an affiliate of the Purchaser
or any other affiliates of the Purchaser (collectively, the "Druggist"),
generated by Baker and as further described in Sections 3.1(b) and (c) of the
Employment Agreement being entered into by Baker simultaneously herewith.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, the amount of the Gross
Margin From Druggist Sales which Baker may elect to utilize for determining
whether the gross margin targets have been met shall be limited as follows:

         (a) An amount not to exceed $704,500.00 of the Gross Margin From
Druggist Sales generated for the period beginning July 1, 1996 through December
31, 1998 may be utilized in determining whether the First Gross Margin Target
has been achieved; and

         (b) An amount not to exceed $735,500.00 of the Gross Margin From
Druggist Sales generated for the period beginning January 1, 1999 through
December 31, 2000 may be utilized in determining whether the Second Gross Margin
Target has been achieved.

         (c) If the First Gross Margin Target was not attained, an amount not to
exceed $1,440,000.00 of the Gross Margin From Druggist Sales generated for the
period beginning July 1, 1996 through December 31, 2000 may be utilized in
determining whether the Final Gross Margin Target has been achieved.

         An election by Baker to include any portion of the Gross Margin From
Druggist Sales must be made within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser has
delivered to Baker its written report detailing the computation of the Gross
Margin From Druggist Sales at the end of the applicable

                                        3


<PAGE>   4



period set forth in (a) through (c) above. In the event there is a dispute
regarding such computation, Baker may defer such election until the dispute is
settled.

         3.3. PAYMENT(S) OF THE CONTINGENT PAYMENT(S). The Contingent Payment(s)
shall be paid to the Shareholders, if due, as follows: 72.5% of the amount due
shall be paid in cash, and 27.5% shall be paid by delivery from the Purchaser of
a corresponding number of shares of its Common Stock, par value $.03 per share
(the "Purchaser's Shares"), the exact number of shares to be determined by
dividing 27.5% of the amount of the Contingent Payment due by $27.50, such price
being the approximate fair market value of the Purchaser's Shares over the last
30 days. Therefore, such price shall be adjusted accordingly for any stock
splits or stock dividends between the date hereof and the date such shares are
delivered to the Shareholders hereunder. Payment(s) of the Contingent Payment(s)
shall be made within 20 days after completion of the audit of the Purchaser's
financial statements for the relevant period.

         3.4. RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The Shareholders acknowledge and agrees
that the Purchaser's Shares deliverable in accordance with the terms hereof will

valid claim against the Shareholders or the Purchaser for a brokerage

Company) will be paying all costs and damages associated therewith.

               together with accrued interest thereon, shall be allowed at any

               may be reduced in the manner specified in Section 7:
               "Indemnification; Set Off" of that certain Share Purchase

               and dated as of June 30, 1996 (the "Agreement").

          5.   The happening of the following event shall be deemed a default
               under this Note: default by Payor in the payment of any
               installment of principal or interest when due under this Note and
               the same shall remain unpaid for a period of ten (10) days after
               written notice thereof has been delivered to Payor.

          6.   In the event of a default under this Note, the holder hereof may
               by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by him and
               addressed and delivered to the undersigned (a) declare that the
               entire principal balance then owing shall bear interest at a rate
               of ten percent (10%) per year, or (b) declare the outstanding
               principal balance of this Note due and payable and, upon such

Gentlemen:

         This letter (the "Shareholder's Agreement") is being furnished to you
pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Share Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") dated
as of June 30, 1996, by and among Arbor Health Care Company, a Delaware
corporation (the "Purchaser"), Robert Q. Baker and Richard E. Moon. Unless the
context requires a different use or meaning, the capitalized words and terms
used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

         The undersigned Shareholder hereby represents to and agrees with the
Purchaser as follows:

         1. The undersigned understands that the Purchaser has not filed a
registration statement under the 1933 Act covering the resale of the Purchaser's
Shares and that the Purchaser is not obligated to file such a registration
statement.

         2. The undersigned will not offer, sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate
or otherwise dispose of any of the Purchaser's Shares except (i) in accordance
with Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (ii) in a transaction which, in the opinion of
counsel to the Purchaser, is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, or
(iii) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed in compliance with
the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws. The undersigned will
furnish to the Purchaser such information and documents as the Purchaser may
reasonably request in connection with any disposition of the Purchaser's Shares.

         3. The undersigned further agrees that he will not offer, sell,
transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of any of the Purchaser's
Shares until such time as financial results covering at least 30 days of
combined operations of the Purchaser and the Company shall have been published
within the meaning of Section 201.01 of the SEC's Codification of Financial
Reporting Policies.

         4. The certificates evidencing the Purchaser's Shares will bear a
restrictive legend in substantially the following form:


<PAGE>   28


         The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). Reference is made
to the Shareholder's Agreement between the issuer and the registered holder
hereof, a copy of which is on file with the issuer, to the effect that the
shares may only be offered, sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise disposed of (i) in accordance with Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (ii)
in a transaction which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer, is exempt from
registration under the 1933 Act, or (iii) pursuant to an effective registration
statement filed in compliance with the 1933 Act and any applicable state
securities laws; and other restrictions on resales as provided in the
Shareholder's Agreement.

         5. The undersigned understands that the Purchaser will issue stop
transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to the foregoing
restrictions on the disposition of the Purchaser's Shares.

         6. The information provided on (i) the attached Purchaser
Questionnaire, and (ii) if the undersigned is not an "accredited investor"
within the meaning of Regulation D, as adopted by the SEC, the attached
Purchaser Representative Questionnaire, is true, complete and accurate in all
respects.

         7. The undersigned is acquiring his portion of the Purchaser's Shares
for his own account for investment within the meaning of the 1933 Act.

         8. The undersigned understands that no aspect of the contemplated share
purchase transaction has been or will be registered with or reviewed by the SEC
under the 1933 Act, or with or by any state securities law administrator, and no
federal or state securities law administrator has approved any disclosure or
other material concerning the Purchaser or the Purchaser's Shares, or made any
recommendation with respect thereto. The undersigned, personally or with the
assistance of his purchaser representative, has sufficient knowledge and
experience in business and financial matters that he is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of the proposed share purchase transaction, and he has
investigated the merits and risks of the transaction. The undersigned has been
provided with the Annual Report to Shareholders and Annual Report on Form 10-K
of the Purchaser for the year ended December 31, 199_, and the subsequent
reports filed by the Purchaser with the SEC pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and has had the opportunity to ask
questions of, and receive answers from, members of the management of the
Purchaser.

Witnesses:
