ITEM 4: PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Dr. Meyer and the Company have entered into a Letter of Intent dated July
25, 1998 ("LOI"), which sets forth the intention of Dr. Meyer, on behalf of the
providers, and the Company relating to a proposed restructure of the Company
including the following:
(1) A tender offer (in compliance with applicable law) for at least
10,000,000 shares of the Common Stock (which may be increased to the extent
necessary, up to 30,000,000 shares, so that all stockholders who wish to
sell will have the opportunity to do so) for a cash price of $5.00 per
share;
(2) The restructure of the Company's management service agreements and
other contractual relationships with the physicians and other providers
affiliated with the Company;
(3) The resolution and settlement of certain accounts payable and
receivable between the Company and several of the providers affiliated with
the Company;
(4) Upon satisfactory resolution of outstanding issues and negotiation
of acceptable restructure documents, the transfer of operating assets of
the ophthalmic and optometric practices affiliated with the Company from
the Company back to the owners of those practices; and
(5) Upon satisfactory resolution of outstanding issues and negotiation
of acceptable restructure documents, the transfer of an interest in the
ambulatory surgery centers in which the Company owns an interest back to
providers.
Before the Company's execution and delivery of the LOI, the Company's board
of directors unanimously authorized the execution of the LOI. As noted in the
LOI, Dr. Meyer has no desire to conclude a transaction unless a majority of the
members of the Company's board of directors believe in good faith that the
stockholders and the bondholders of the Company are treated fairly.
The foregoing is intended to be only a summary of the LOI. The LOI is
attached to this Schedule 13D as an Exhibit and is incorporated into this Item 4
by reference.
Dr. Meyer has begun communications with providers affiliated with the
Company and other investors related to participation in such tender offer. Upon
entering into agreements with any participants, Dr. Meyer anticipates that he
and such participants will file an amendment to this Schedule 13D to report (i)
the formation of a group as of the date of such agreements and (ii) any other
material changes.
ITEM 6: CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO
SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Mr. Richard A. Gilleland
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Physicians Resource Group, Inc.
Three Lincoln Centre
5430 LBJ Freeway, Suite 1540
Dallas, Texas 75240
Dear Mr. Gilleland:
This letter of intent ("LOI") is entered into between Physicians
Resource Group, Inc. ("PRG") and David Meyer ("MEYER"), on behalf of himself and
other providers and investors who may choose to join him, and summarizes the
principal terms and conditions of a proposed restructure of PRG, which will
involve, among other things, (1) the acquisition of at least 10,000,000 shares
of the outstanding stock of PRG (which may be increased to the extent necessary,
up to 30,000,000 shares, so that all stockholders who wish to sell will have the
opportunity to do so) (the "STOCK ACQUISITION COMPONENT") for cash at a price of
$5.00 ("STOCK PURCHASE PRICE") by Stock Buyers (hereafter defined), (2) the
restructure and renegotiation of the management service agreements and other
contractual relationships ("PROVIDER CONTRACTS") with the physicians and other
providers affiliated with PRG (the "PROVIDERS"), (3) the resolution and
settlement of various accounts payable and receivable between PRG and several of
the Providers (the "ACCOUNT RESOLUTION"), (4) the transfer of operating assets
("PRACTICE ASSETS") of the ophthalmic and optometric practices affiliated with
PRG (the "PRACTICES") from PRG back to the Practices and (5) the transfer of an
interest in the ambulatory surgery centers in which PRG owns an interest
("ASCS") back to the Practices from which they were acquired (all of the
transactions reflected in (1)-(5) preceding are collectively called the
"COMPLETE TRANSACTION", and the transactions reflected in (2)-(5) preceding are
collectively called the "PROVIDER RESTRUCTURE"). The consideration flowing back
and forth between and among PRG, the Providers and the Practices in connection
with the proposals made herein are interdependent and reflect our recognition
that (a) there are numerous disputes about various issues between PRG, on the
one hand, and many Providers and Practices, on the other hand, and (b) Meyer and
other persons or entities who may join with Meyer, including some Providers and
investors who are not Providers, are willing to commit to and fund the Stock
Acquisition Component at the Stock Purchase Price only if PRG agrees to complete
the Provider Restructure (Meyer and any other persons and entities who join with
Meyer in committing to and funding the Stock Acquisition Component being herein
called the "STOCK BUYERS"). Promptly after the execution of this LOI, Meyer's
counsel will commence drafting definitive agreements implementing the terms
summarized in this LOI, which must be acceptable in form and substance to PRG
and Meyer (definitive agreements which are acceptable to and executed by PRG and
Meyer are herein called the "DEFINITIVE AGREEMENTS").
The board of directors of PRG ("PRG BOARD") has authorized the
execution of this LOI by the Chief Executive Officer for the purpose of moving
into the stage of negotiating Definitive Agreements. Meyer and the other
LOI-DAVID MEYER & PHYSICIANS RESOURCE GROUP

providers have no desire to conclude a transaction unless a majority of the
members of the PRG Board believe in good faith that the stockholders and the
bondholders of PRG are treated fairly.
A. BASIC TRANSACTIONS
Based on the information currently known to Meyer, and subject to the terms and
conditions hereof and in the Definitive Agreements, it is anticipated that the
Definitive Agreements will include the following terms:
1. STOCK ACQUISITION COMPONENT. Promptly after the Definitive Agreements are
executed and the applicable conditions herein and therein have been satisfied,
the Stock Buyers would make the necessary filings, give the necessary notices
and take the appropriate steps to comply with federal and state securities laws
and commence a cash tender offer to purchase (the "TENDER OFFER") at least
10,000,000 shares of the outstanding common stock of PRG ("PRG STOCK"), with an
option reserved to purchase more than 10,000,000 shares if tendered, for a price
of $5.00 per share. Providers will be encouraged to retain any PRG Stock owned
by them and not to tender it in the Tender Offer. It is anticipated that, in
connection with the various elements of the Provider Restructure summarized in
Sections A.2-A.5 below, a specific dollar amount (the "PROVIDER RESTRUCTURE
SETTLEMENT AMOUNT") will be agreed upon between Meyer (or a committee selected
by him) and each Provider which are "owed" by such Provider for the elements of
the Provider Restructure summarized in Sections A.2-A.5, and, in addition to the
transfer of the Practice Assets (and, in some cases, an ASC interest) to such
Provider contemplated by the Provider Restructure, such Provider will be issued
a number of new, presently unissued, common stock of PRG at a price of $5.00 per
share in amount equal to his Provider Restructure Settlement Amount minus the
amount paid for the stock acquired by such Provider in the Tender Offer.
2. PROVIDER CONTRACTS RESTRUCTURE. The Service Agreement of each Provider
and/or Practice will be modified to (1) reduce the management fee, (2) reduce
the term, (3) limit the services to be provided by PRG and (4) make other
adjustments deemed in good faith by Meyer (or a committee of Providers selected
by Meyer) to be appropriate and reasonable.
3. ACCOUNT RESOLUTION. Resolution and settlement satisfactory to Meyer (or a
committee of Providers selected by Meyer) shall have been reached between PRG
and Most Providers (as used herein, "MOST PROVIDERS" means Providers and
Practices whose Adjusted Gross Income (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code)
for the year ended December 31, 1997 equals or exceeds 75% of the total Adjusted
Gross Income of all Providers and Practices. The amount agreed upon in the
resolution and settlement will be included as part of the Provider Restructure
Settlement Amount for each Provider.
4. TRANSFER OF PRACTICE ASSETS. As part of the consideration for the Complete
Transaction, PRG will transfer to the Providers their Practice Assets assuming
that each Provider has satisfied his Provider Restructure Settlement Amount by
purchasing stock in the Tender Offer and/or purchasing newly issued stock of
PRG, no additional amount will be owed to PRG.
5. TRANSFER OF INTERESTS IN ASCs. As part of the consideration for the
Complete Transaction, Providers and Practices who transferred all or an interest
in an ASC to PRG in the past will receive a transfer by PRG of a percentage
(anticipated to be between 25-33% to be determined by Meyer, in consultation
with selected Providers) interest in such ASC.

B. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT EXECUTION
1. DEFINITIVE AGREEMENTS. The Definitive Agreements must be satisfactory in
form and substance to Meyer and PRG, and, prior to execution, PRG must receive
the opinion of Goldman Sachs & Co. or another investment bank acceptable to PRG
and Meyer, that the Complete Transaction is fair to the stockholders of PRG from
a financial point of view.
2. CONDITIONS TO EXECUTION OF DEFINITIVE AGREEMENTS. Meyer does not intend to
execute any Definitive Agreements unless and until:
a. PROVIDER RESTRUCTURE. Meyer has received affirmation in writing from
Most Providers that they approve the Provider Restructure and will execute
documents reasonably acceptable to them implementing the Provider
Restructure.
b. STOCK ACQUISITION COMPONENT.
i. TENDER COMMITMENTS. Meyer has received affirmation from a number
of Providers acceptable to Meyer that they do not intend to and will
not tender any of their PRG Stock in the Tender Offer.
ii. STOCK BUYER PARTICIPATION. Meyer has received commitments
acceptable to him from Providers and/or other persons and entities to
purchase at least 5,000,000 shares of PRG stock.
iii. FINANCING TENDER OFFER. Meyer has received commitments for
financing the Tender Offer in amounts and on terms acceptable to him
and the other Stock Buyers.
iv. DEBENTURES. Meyer is satisfied that (1) the outstanding
debentures of PRG are not in default and that the consummation of the
Complete Transactions will not activate a right of the
debenture-holders to accelerate the maturity of the debentures or to
demand that PRG repurchase or redeem the debentures, or,
alternatively, (2) if, in the judgment of Meyer, the debentures are in
default or there is a substantial risk that the consummation of the
Complete Transactions WILL activate a right of the debenture-holders

repurchase or redeem the debentures, Meyer has commitments and/or
assurances satisfactory to him (a) that the existing debenture-holders
will agree to an acceptable restructure or (b) for refinancing the
debentures on acceptable terms.
c. DUE DILIGENCE. Meyer's continued interest in this transaction is
dependent upon the satisfactory completion, to Meyer's sole and absolute
satisfaction, of a due diligence investigation to be conducted by the Stock
Buyers and their representatives. PRG will provide Meyer and other Stock
Buyers and their representatives full access, at all reasonable times, and
in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal business
operations of PRG, to all premises, properties, personnel, books, records,
contracts and documents of or pertaining to PRG.

LOI-DAVID MEYER & PHYSICIANS RESOURCE GROUP
<PAGE> 5
Physicians Resource Group, Inc.
July 25, 1998
Page 5 of 9
transactions contemplated by the Definitive Agreements to be
rescinded following consummation, (b) no such injunction,

the same period shall have resolved, settled and released all

released all claims against them.
E. MISCELLANEOUS.
1. Expenses. If Definitive Agreements are executed, Meyer will be entitled to
be reimbursed by PRG, and PRG agrees to promptly reimburse Meyer from time to
time upon request by Meyer, for costs and expenses (including legal, financial,
advisory and accounting fees and expenses) incurred by him on behalf of the
providers and investors who chose to join him in connection with developing and
entering into this LOI, negotiating and entering into the Definitive Agreements
and consummating (or attempting to consummate) the Complete Transaction, but PRG
shall have no responsibility therefor if Definitive Agreements are not executed.
2. Non-Binding Letter of Intent. This LOI is not, and your acceptance hereof
does not constitute, an agreement by either of us or anyone else to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby or any agreement to enter into a formal
written agreement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. It is
understood that this LOI is merely a statement of intent and, while the parties
hereto agree in principle to the contents hereof and intend to proceed promptly
and in good faith to work out the arrangements with respect to consummating the
transactions contemplated hereby, any legal obligations between the parties
hereto shall be only as are set forth in the Definitive Agreements if and when
executed by the parties, except that the provisions of this Section E are
intended to be binding and enforceable obligations of the parties hereto. PRG
may not, however, terminate this LOI prior to December 31, 1998, except pursuant
to Section E.3.
3. Termination by PRG. If (i) the Definitive Agreements have not been executed
by 11:59 p.m., on September 21, 1998, or if the Complete Transaction has not
been consummated by 11:59 p.m., on November 23, 1998, and (ii) the PRG Board has
concluded in good faith that (A) the likelihood of executing Definitive
Agreements and consummating the Complete Transaction on terms acceptable to the
PRG Board is remote, and (B) the immediate cash needs of PRG are such that sales
of assets are necessary to preserve PRG (and there has not been adequate
response from Meyer and other Providers with respect to accounts payable owed by
them to PRG), and (iii) the PRG Board has notified Meyer to such effect and
given Meyer and a small group of Providers selected by Meyer an opportunity to
appear before the PRG Board to discuss the situation, then, unless Meyer
advances sufficient funds to cure the immediate cash needs, at the option of
either PRG or Meyer, this LOI may be terminated, and neither party shall have
any further obligation hereunder, except that PRG shall be obligated to pay the
breakup fee pursuant to Section E.6., if applicable, and costs and expenses
pursuant to Section E.1.

4. Notice of Other Offers. PRG will provide Meyer written notice if and when
it or any member of the PRG Board, officer of PRG or investment banker retained
by PRG or the PRG Board ("PRG REPRESENTATIVES") receives any offer(s) from or on
behalf of any potential buyer related to the potential sale of the stock or any
of the assets of PRG or the potential merger of PRG and/or any of its
subsidiaries with a third party (or a friendly tender for a significant part of
the stock of PRG by a third party) (any of the foregoing types of transactions
or a combination thereof being herein called a "Conflicting Transaction"), Meyer
will have the unilateral right to terminate this LOI and the Definitive
Agreements at any time on or after PRG receives any such offer(s) if PRG or a
PRG Representative provides non-public information to any such offeror(s) unless
it is an offer for the sale of assets permitted by the terms of this LOI. The
Definitive Agreements will contain a provision similar to the foregoing
sentence.
5. Standstill. Except as hereinafter provided, so long as this LOI is in
force, PRG agrees that it and its directors, officers, employees and affiliates
will not: (i) initiate discussions or exchanges of information with any
potential buyer related to a Conflicting Transaction nor enter into any
expression of interest, letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive
agreement with respect to a Conflicting Transaction; or (ii), if contacted by a
potential buyer or merger candidate with respect to a Conflicting Transaction,
exchange information with such potential buyer or merger candidate nor enter
into any expression of interest, letter of intent, agreement in principle or
definitive agreement with respect thereto. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING,
HOWEVER:
a. If PRG or any PRG Representative receives one or more unsolicited
expressions of interest or offers that contemplate(s) an acquisition of
substantially all of the stock or assets of PRG or merger, consolidation or
other combination with PRG and/or substantially all of the subsidiaries of
PRG, PRG reserves the right, if the PRG Board believes, in good faith,
based on the written advice of a law firm of regional or national stature,
it is necessary to do so in order to satisfy the fiduciary duties and
obligations of the directors under applicable law, to consider each such
expression of interest or offer, provide information to the interested
person or offeror, negotiate with the interested person or offeror and
enter into an agreement for a Conflicting Transaction. The Definitive
Agreements will contain a provision similar to the foregoing sentence.
b. PRG may make sales of individual assets so long as any single sale
does not exceed $500,000 and the aggregate of all sales while this LOI is
in effect does not exceed $5,000,000; provided that, in any event, the
foregoing clause of this Section E.5.b. does not permit PRG to, and PRG
shall not exchange information with a potential buyer or repurchaser of any
Practice(s) or ASC(s) nor enter into any expression of interest, letter of
intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement to sell any
Practice(s) or ASC(s) unless (i) the PRG Board makes a determination that
there is a cash emergency or threat of default on a material obligation, in
which case the Chief Executive Officer of PRG shall notify Meyer and
discuss the matter with Meyer and a small group of Providers selected by
Meyer, and, if Meyer in good faith deems it necessary, convene a
teleconference of the other PRG Board members, for a full discussion of the
issues, and (ii) after such discussion(s), Meyer and PRG mutually consent
to the actions requested by PRG to solve such emergency or threat of
default.

In any event, however, the elements of the Provider Restructure contemplated by
this LOI are unique and peculiar to the Complete Transaction contemplated
hereby, and no inference should be drawn that any Provider will be willing to
agree to the Provider Restructure terms with any other buyer or merger partner.
6. BREAK-UP FEE
a. PRIOR TO EXECUTION OF DEFINITIVE AGREEMENTS.
i. Any of the following shall be deemed to be a "BREAK-UP FEE
TRIGGER EVENT":
(1) Prior to December 31, 1998, (i) PRG or a PRG Representative
initiates discussions or exchanges of information with any
potential buyer related to a Conflicting Transaction or (ii) PRG
or a subsidiary, or a PRG Representative on behalf or for the
benefit of PRG or a subsidiary, enters into any expression of
interest, letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive
agreement with respect to a Conflicting Transaction, unless it is
permitted by Section E.5.b.
(2) Prior to December 31, 1998, (i) PRG or a PRG Representative
receives one or more unsolicited expressions of interest or
offers that contemplate(s) an acquisition of substantially all of
the stock or assets of PRG or merger, consolidation or other
combination with PRG and/or substantially all of the subsidiaries
of PRG, and (ii) PRG or a PRG Representative exchanges
information with the potential buyer before the PRG Board has
made the determination that permits PRG to exchange the
information pursuant to Section E.5.a.
(3) Prior to December 31, 1998, (i) PRG or a PRG Representative
receives one or more unsolicited expressions of interest or
offers that contemplate(s) an acquisition of substantially all of
the stock or assets of PRG or merger, consolidation or other
combination with PRG and/or substantially all of the subsidiaries
of PRG (or a friendly tender for a significant part of the stock
of PRG by a third party), and (ii) after the PRG Board has made
the determination that permits PRG to exchange the information
pursuant to Section E.5.a., PRG or a subsidiary, or a PRG
Representative on behalf of or for the benefit of PRG or a
subsidiary, enters into any expression of interest, letter of
intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement with
respect to such acquisition, merger, consolidation or other
combination.
ii. If a Break-up Fee Trigger Event occurs, then, immediately after a
demand by Meyer therefor, PRG will pay the sum of $1,000,000 to a
non-profit medical institution of national stature designated by
Meyer.

to this LOI, or relating to any claim or cause of action which may arise or be
asserted under any federal, state, local or foreign statutory, regulatory or
common law, including, without limitation, claims with respect to breach of
contract, tort, obligation of good faith and fair dealing and fiduciary duties,
then, upon notice by any party to the other parties (an "ARBITRATION NOTICE")

who is independent and impartial, for binding arbitration in Dallas, Texas, in
accordance with AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "RULES") as modified or

the event it may not be technically applicable). The award or judgment of the
arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties and judgment upon the award
or judgment of the arbitrator may be entered and enforced by any court having
jurisdiction. If any party becomes the subject of a bankruptcy, receivership or
other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States of America, any
state or commonwealth or any other nation or political subdivision thereof,
then, to the extent permitted or not prohibited by applicable law, any factual
or substantive legal issues arising in or during the pendency of any such
proceeding shall be subject to all of the foregoing mandatory mediation and
arbitration provisions and shall be resolved in accordance therewith. The fees
and expenses of the arbitrator will be shared equitably (as determined by the
arbitrator) by all parties engaged in the dispute or controversy.
10. COUNTERPARTS. This letter may be executed in one or more counterparts, each
of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this letter and all of which,
when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.
11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This LOI sets forth the entire understanding of the
parties hereto and supersedes all prior contracts, agreements, arrangements,
communications, discussions, representations and warranties, whether oral or
written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
