THIS AMENDMENT TO ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Amendment") is made
and entered into this 23rd day of May, 1997, by, among and between CONTINENTAL
CHOICE CARE, INC. ("CCC"), a New Jersey corporation, and its subsidiaries and
affiliates (other than UMDC) identified on Schedule 1 of that certain Asset
Purchase Agreement dated February 12, 1997 (the "Agreement"), and IHS of New
York, Inc., a New York corporation.
WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend the Agreement through this
Amendment;
NOW, THEREFORE, FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION of the premises and of the
mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. The terms of this Amendment shall supersede any and all conflicting
terms of the Agreement. Except for this Amendment, all other terms and
conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
2. The following provision shall be added to the end of Section 3 of
the Agreement: In the event UMDC shall not become a party to this Agreement or
otherwise sell its assets to IHS and IHS shall not have exercised its option
contained in the Acknowledgment by UMDC Stockholders (the "UMDC Option") to
acquire the shares of UMDC held by Alvin S. Trenk, Steven L. Trenk and Martin G.
Jacobs or otherwise acquired shares in UMDC, subject to the consent of PNC Bank
("PNC"), the term "Assets" shall not include the assets of UMDC, the term
"Sellers" shall not include UMDC and the terms "Business" and "Facilities" shall
not include UMDC. In the event PNC shall not so consent on or before May 31,
1997, this Subsection shall not be effective and either party may terminate this
Agreement on written notice. In addition, subject to the further reduction for
liabilities assumed by Buyer or encumbering Assets acquired by Buyer as
identified pursuant to Section 1.B hereof or pursuant to the provisions of
Paragraph 4 of the Amendment, the consideration to be paid by Buyer to the
Sellers as set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 3 shall be
reduced so that such consideration shall be the sum of the following: (a) Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) to be placed in escrow at Closing with
Crummy, Del Deo, Dolan, Griffinger & Vecchione, P.C., of Newark, New Jersey (the
"Escrow Agent") pursuant to the Escrow Agreement attached as Exhibit 3.1 to the
Agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") between Buyer, Sellers and Escrow Agent and
shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms specified in the Escrow
Agreement, and (b) Four Million Six Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($4,620,000)
to be paid in full to Seller at Closing by wire transfer to an account
designated in writing by CCC. In addition, Buyer shall pay to Seller the sum of
Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) as a market penetration bonus (the "Bonus")
payable to the Seller on the date on which either (i) the Assets of UMDC are
transferred to Buyer on terms comparable to those set forth in this Agreement or
otherwise satisfactory to the Parties or (ii) Seller shall have transferred or
have caused to be transferred to Buyer the Assets of another dialysis facility
located in Manhattan acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion (the "Alternate
Facility"), the purchase price of either of which shall be not less than Six
Million Dollars ($6,000,000) nor more than Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000).
In the event the Buyer's purchase price for UMDC or the Alternate Facility
exceeds Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) (the amount of said excess being the
"Excess Amount") the Bonus shall be reduced by the Excess Amount. If the
purchase price for UMDC or the Alternate Facility exceeds Eight Million Dollars
($8,000,000), there shall be no Bonus.
3. If the term "Assets" does not include the assets of UMDC for the
reasons set forth in Section 3 of the Agreement, then, the Escrow Agreement
referred to in Section 3 of the Agreement shall be amended as follows: (a)
Paragraph 1 thereof shall require the Escrow Fund to be $500,000, (b) the sum of
$500,000 referred to in Paragraph 3 thereof shall be replaced by the sum of
$250,000, and (c) the sum of $250,000 referred to in Paragraph 3 thereof shall
be replaced by the sum of $125,000.
4. Sections 2, 7(G) and 7(M) of the Agreement are modified as follows:
The Parties agree to cooperate with each other so as to immediately file all
necessary applications to transfer or to approve the Buyer's ownership of the
Facility licenses in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. The closing shall
occur on the 10th business day after compliance with all conditions precedent
thereto as specified in Section 7 of the Agreement (as amended) have occurred,
except that as to Section 7(M) the condition that Buyer be licensed in the
states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut shall be modified such that Buyer
need only have been duly licensed to operate the Facilities in the states of New
Jersey and Connecticut and in at least one of the Facilities (exclusive of UMDC
regardless of whether UMDC becomes a party to this Agreement) located in the
state of New York.
In the event the Buyer has been duly licensed with respect to all
Facilities in the state of New York by September 30, 1997 the full payment of
consideration for the Assets (as amended but excluding any amounts as may then
be payable in respect of the assets of UMDC or the Alternate Facility, which
consideration shall be paid at the closing of UMDC or the Alternate Facility)
shall be paid.
In the event the Buyer has been duly licensed in the state of New York
with respect to only one Facility by September 30, 1997, (a) all of the
consideration for the Assets (as amended but excluding any consideration with
respect to UMDC or the Alternate Facility (which consideration shall be paid at
the closing of UMDC or the Alternate Facility)) shall be paid into a separate
escrow by the Buyer (together with the Consulting Agreement contained at Exhibit
7.2, and any other documents necessary to effectuate the Closing) ("Buyer's
Closing Documents") and the Consulting Agreement contained at Exhibit 7.2, and
all other Closing documents required to be delivered to Buyer pursuant to
Section 2B ("Seller's Closing Documents") shall be deposited into such escrow by
Sellers, to be released from escrow when the Buyer shall have been duly licensed
in the state of New York with respect to the other Facility, and (b) the Parties
shall enter into a Consulting and Services Agreement with respect to the
Facilities, in a form mutually acceptable, which Consulting and Services
Agreement shall expire at the time title to the Facilities passes to Buyer or
November 30, 1997, whichever is earlier.
In the event the Buyer shall not have been duly licensed in the State
of New York with respect to the other Facility by November 30, 1997, there shall
be terminated both Buyer's obligation to acquire and Seller's obligation to sell
the Assets and the Consulting and Services Agreement, the consideration paid
into escrow, plus fifty (50%) percent of all interest accrued thereon, and
Buyer's Closing Documents, shall be distributed to Buyer, and Seller's Closing
Documents, plus fifty (50%) percent of all interest accrued on the escrow funds
shall be distributed to Sellers.
In the event that Buyer shall have been duly licensed in the State of
New York with respect to the other Facility by November 30, 1997, all the
consideration paid into escrow, plus fifty (50%) percent of the interest accrued
thereon (together with Buyer's Closing Documents shall be delivered to Sellers,

assets of UMDC and shall not apply after September 30, 1997 (as extended through
November 30, 1997 pursuant to Paragraph 4 of the Amendment).
6. Section 7(B) of the Agreement is amended to add as a further

any limitation of such representations and warranties as being to Sellers'
knowledge.

as set forth in Section 14 of the Agreement, Buyer's due diligence investigation
shall be completed by May 9, 1997 and the Condition to the obligation of Buyer
referred to in Section 7(O) of the Agreement shall be deemed satisfied on that
date unless Buyer shall notify Sellers in writing on or before May 9, 1997 as to
all matters which are not acceptable and that Buyer has elected to terminate the
Agreement because due diligence was unacceptable to Buyer.
9. Section 6B of the Agreement is amended by adding to the end thereof
the following: "All information set forth in, or delivered in connection with,
the Financial Statements, including without limitation the schedules and
supplemental information thereto, is accurate at the date thereof, regardless of
whether such information is audited or unaudited, subject to normal year-end
audit adjustments.
10. Section 7J of the Agreement shall be amended by adding to the end
