All references to the Company refer to MIM Corporation and its subsidiaries and predecessors (the "Company"). Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this Prospectus (i) assumes that the Underwriters' over-allotment option will not be exercised and (ii) gives effect to the reorganization of the Company and its affiliates in May 1996. See "Certain Transactions--The Formation." All references herein to industry financial and statistical information are based on published industry reports that the Company believes to be reliable, although there can be no assurance to that effect. Investors should consider carefully the information set forth under the heading "Risk Factors." THE COMPANY MIM Corporation is a pharmacy management organization that provides a broad range of services designed to promote the cost-effective delivery of pharmacy benefits. The Company targets organizations involved in three key segments of the pharmaceutical health care industry--sponsors of public and private health plans (such as HMOs and other managed care organizations), retail pharmacies and pharmaceutical manufacturers--and offers services that provide financial benefits to each of them. The Company works with plan sponsors and local health care professionals to design, implement and manage innovative programs to control pharmacy benefit costs, primarily through financial risk sharing arrangements and increased substitution of lower-cost generic drugs for brand name drugs. Participating retail pharmacies receive management and support services, as well as financial incentives to purchase and dispense preferred generic drugs. Finally, the Company offers manufacturers of generic drugs the potential to increase their market share in regions covered by participating pharmacies as a result of the increase in generic drug utilization encouraged by the Company's programs. The Company has derived virtually all of its revenues to date from operations in the State of Tennessee under the TennCare Medicaid waiver program for formerly Medicaid-eligible, and certain uninsured and uninsurable, Tennessee residents. These revenues have been derived pursuant to a contract with RxCare of Tennessee, Inc. ("RxCare"), a professional services administrative organization owned by the Tennessee Pharmacists Association and representing approximately 1,200 retail pharmacies in Tennessee. At May 31, 1996, the Company provided pharmacy benefit management services, such as formulary design and compliance, drug usage evaluation, claims processing and disease management, to 19 health plan sponsors with an aggregate of approximately 1.1 million plan members. Substantially all of such members participate in six of such health plans, representing approximately 88% of the eligible participants in the TennCare program. During 1995, approximately 90% of the Company's $214 million in revenues was derived from contracts under which the Company was paid on a capitated basis (that is, on the basis of a fixed monthly fee per plan member). Since program inception in January 1994, the generic utilization rate as a percentage of all covered prescriptions under the Company's pharmacy benefit management programs has averaged 67%, compared to an industry average of 40% during 1994. The retail pharmaceutical market has grown in recent years, with over two billion prescriptions filled and sales of approximately $57 billion in 1994. Approximately 45% of retail prescription sales dollars during 1994 were paid by plan sponsors, with over 51 million people in the United States belonging to managed care organizations at the end of 1994. According to published reports, by the year 2000 approximately 80 million people in the United States are expected to belong to managed care organizations, and such organizations are expected to be responsible for approximately 76% of all retail prescription sales dollars. Managed care organizations and other plan sponsors have increasingly turned to pharmacy benefit managers to help administer and control the cost of the pharmacy benefit component of their overall benefit programs. The Company believes that a key element in successfully controlling pharmacy benefit costs is generic substitution. Sales of generic drugs, which typically sell at a 30% to 70% discount to brand name drug equivalents, were approximately $5.6 3 billion in 1994. However, in 1994 there were approximately $28 billion of off- patent brand name drug sales for which a generic equivalent was available. In addition, brand name drugs with approximately $25 billion in 1994 sales are scheduled to go off-patent during the next ten years. The Company has developed the following strategy that it believes will allow it to capitalize upon these industry trends: Establish MIM as a National Pharmacy Benefit Manager. The Company intends to market its pharmacy benefit management services to sponsors of public and private health plans throughout the country on a capitated or cost savings sharing basis, thereby transferring from the plan sponsor to the Company all or some of the risk of controlling overall pharmacy benefit costs. Building upon the experience it has gained from managing capitated TennCare pharmacy benefit programs, the Company intends to offer its innovative financial risk sharing programs to plan sponsors in similar highly price-competitive and emerging capitated markets, while also continuing to offer traditional fee-for-service programs. In addition, the Company will further develop its information systems to provide plan sponsors with real-time access to pharmacy and financial data. Strengthen Pharmacy Relationships. The Company believes that local pharmacists play a critical role in providing high quality cost-effective care, including the point-of-sale substitution of generic drugs when appropriate. The Company intends to increase pharmacy participation in its programs by continuing to offer financial incentives and discount drug purchasing services, as well as a broad range of pharmacy support programs for local retail pharmacists. Market Preferred Generics. The Company is currently marketing and promoting certain generic drugs of Zenith Goldline Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Zenith Goldline") in the State of Tennessee under the Company's preferred generics program. In general, the Company's preferred generics program encourages pharmacies to stock a particular manufacturer's generic drugs ("preferred generics") in lieu of brand name or other generic drugs in the same therapeutic class by arranging for discounts on the purchase of preferred generics by pharmacies. Under Company-managed pharmacy benefit programs, the Company also provides financial incentives to pharmacies to sell preferred generics. These arrangements and incentives are designed to encourage participating pharmacies to dispense and sell preferred generics to all of their customers, including those not covered by Company-managed pharmacy benefit plans. The Company intends to expand its preferred generics program with Zenith Goldline to other geographic areas and is negotiating similar arrangements with other generic drug manufacturers. The Company also plans, subject to economic and other conditions, to distribute generic and over-the-counter drugs under its own private label. Certain agreements may restrict the Company's ability to compete in certain areas of the Company's preferred generics business, its planned drug distribution business and certain other business areas. See "Business-- Preferred Generics" and "Certain Transactions--Relationship of Certain Executive Officers with Zenith Goldline." ---------------- MIM Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in March 1996 for the purpose of combining the businesses and operations of Pro-Mark Holdings, Inc. and MIM Strategic Marketing, LLC. For a description of the transactions involved in connection therewith (the "Formation"), see "Certain Transactions--The Formation" and Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included herein. The Company's principal executive offices are located at One Blue Hill Plaza, Pearl River, New York 10965, and its telephone number is (914) 735-3555. 4 THE OFFERING Common Stock Offered by the Company........................ 4,000,000 shares(1) Common Stock to be Outstanding 12,023,800 shares(1)(2) after the Offering.............

See "Use of Proceeds." 5 RISK FACTORS An investment in the Common Stock offered hereby involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should consider carefully the following risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus, before purchasing the securities offered hereby. GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION IN REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS; HISTORY OF LOSSES The report of independent public accountants on the Company's consolidated financial statements included herein is qualified because of substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Among the factors cited by such independent public accountants are that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency. For the year ended December 31, 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company incurred net losses of $6.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively. As of March 31, 1996, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $10.1 million, a working capital deficit of $12.5 million and a stockholders' deficit of $11.8 million. The Company needs the net proceeds of the Offering to continue and expand its operations, although there can be no assurance that even with such proceeds the Company's operations will be profitable in the future. In management's opinion, the net proceeds from the Offering are expected to provide the capital necessary to enable the Company to continue as a going concern. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the consolidated financial statements included herein. LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; ABILITY TO MANAGE GROWTH The Company commenced its operations in June 1993 and has had a limited operating history. The Company has recently experienced a period of rapid growth that has strained the Company's financial resources and management information and other systems. The Company's ability to manage its growth effectively will require that it continue to improve its systems and hire, train and manage additional employees. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to expand its market presence in current locations or successfully enter other markets. If the Company is unable to manage its growth effectively, the Company's business and results of operations could be adversely affected. See "Business." DEPENDENCE ON RXCARE RELATIONSHIP The Company has derived virtually all of its revenue to date pursuant to an agreement with RxCare of Tennessee, Inc. ("RxCare"), a professional services administrative organization owned by the Tennessee Pharmacists Association representing approximately 1,200 retail pharmacies in Tennessee. Under the RxCare agreement, the Company is obligated to operate and manage pharmacy benefit programs for plan sponsors that have entered into contracts with RxCare for such services. Although the Company has been providing services to plan sponsors under the RxCare agreement since March 1994, the sponsors have not, when required, formally consented to the Company's provision of such services on behalf of RxCare. RxCare reasonably may decline to execute any contract with plan sponsors or pharmacies, or any amendment or renewal thereof, negotiated by the Company on behalf of RxCare. A number of RxCare's contracts with plan sponsors are for providing state- mandated pharmacy benefits to formerly Medicaid-eligible (as well as certain uninsured and uninsurable) Tennessee residents under the TennCare program, a so-called "Medicaid waiver" state health program. Revenues from two of such TennCare contracts accounted for approximately 75% of the Company's revenues during 1995. The Company believes that the loss of its arrangement with RxCare, the loss of one or more of such contracts, the termination or expiration of the TennCare program (which is currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 1998) or the loss of funding thereunder would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. See "Business--Relationship with RxCare and TennCare." There can be no assurance that RxCare or the Company will be able to enter into additional contracts in the State of Tennessee or that the Company's experience in Tennessee will enable it to obtain additional contracts in other states. The failure to enter into additional contracts could limit the Company's ability to increase its revenues on a profitable basis. See "Business." 6 LIMITED TERM OF MATERIAL AGREEMENTS The Company's contract with RxCare is scheduled to expire in December 1998 unless renewed in accordance with its terms. RxCare's contracts with plan sponsors typically have a one-year term and are subject to automatic renewal unless notice of termination is given. Those contracts are subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain events, including a breach of the agreement which is not cured within 30 days of notice, insolvency or termination of the TennCare program or of the plan sponsor's contract with the State of Tennessee. Two of such contracts accounted for 75% of the Company's revenues during 1995 and are scheduled to expire in June 1996 and December 1997 unless extended. There can be no assurance that either of the foregoing contracts or the Company's contract with RxCare will be continued or renewed in accordance with their terms. The loss of any of such contracts would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. See "Business--Relationship with RxCare and TennCare." RISK OF CAPITATED AGREEMENTS Approximately 90% of the Company's revenue during 1995 was derived from "capitated" agreements, through which the Company receives a pre-determined fee each month for each member enrolled in a particular health plan in return for providing certain covered pharmacy services to plan members. The Company generally negotiates the capitation fee for a particular plan (or subset of individuals within a plan) based upon a number of factors, including competitive conditions within a particular market and the expected costs of providing the covered pharmacy services. Expected costs are generally based on prior experience with similar groups and demographic data based on the population at large. Data with respect to prior experience may not be available and, if available, may not be a reliable indicator of the actual results for a particular plan. The cost of providing pharmacy services varies among plan participants and groups and is affected by many factors, including formulary design and compliance, generic substitution rate and payment structure. During the early stages of a contract, the cost of providing pharmacy services typically exceeds the capitation fee, primarily due to the lag between the commencement of the contract and the full implementation of the formulary and the Company's other cost containment measures. There can be no assurance that the cost of providing pharmacy services will not exceed the capitation fee, either per member or per plan, throughout the entire contract term. Under one contract with a plan sponsor that is scheduled to expire in June 1996, the Company underestimated the utilization of prescription drugs by the plan's members and expects to incur losses under that contract of approximately $10 million in the aggregate. All such losses were reflected in the Company's results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." The Company intends to expand its scope of activities to include groups with which the Company has not had any meaningful experience and with respect to which no prior experience data is available, such as Medicare. Accordingly, the Company may miscalculate certain costs and utilization levels associated with these groups and may incur losses as a result. In addition, the Company may be required, due to contractual obligations or other business reasons, to bear all or a portion of the costs of certain newly-developed drugs, such as medications for the treatment of AIDS, the existence or cost of which may not have been known at the time the capitation fee for a particular plan was established. See "Business." EXPANSION OF PREFERRED GENERICS BUSINESS The Company intends to utilize a portion of the proceeds of the Offering to fund the expansion of its preferred generics business. The expansion of the Company's preferred generics business is expected to place a significant strain on the Company's management, operational and financial resources and systems, and there can be no assurance that the Company's planned operations in this area will be profitable. See "Business--Preferred Generics." The Company also plans, subject to economic and other conditions, to distribute generic and over-the-counter drugs. The Company has had limited experience regarding the distribution of drugs and may, among 7 other things, miscalculate the demand for particular types of drugs, carry excess inventory, incorrectly estimate certain matters involving the pricing and shipment of products to customers and fail to develop adequate distribution capabilities. In addition, the generic drug industry is extremely competitive, with generally declining prices and margins as generic versions of the same product enter the marketplace. See "Business--Business Strategy" and "--Competition." Certain agreements may restrict the Company's ability to compete in certain areas of the Company's preferred generics business, its planned drug distribution business and certain other business areas. John H. Klein, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Richard H. Friedman, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer, have agreed that they will not, prior to January 1999 and January 1997, respectively, own, manage or be employed by any business or enterprise that is substantially competitive with any material portion of the business of manufacturing or distributing prescription generic drugs as conducted in early 1996 by Zenith Laboratories, Inc. ("Zenith"), an affiliate of Zenith Goldline, or Zenith's subsidiaries. See "Certain Transactions--Relationship of Certain Executive Officers with Zenith Goldline." Furthermore, pursuant to agreements with Zenith Goldline, the Company has agreed that it will not offer certain kinds of programs to market or promote generic drugs anywhere in the United States for any other manufacturer or seller without first offering such programs to Zenith Goldline. See "Business--Preferred Generics." GOVERNMENT REGULATION The Company's current and planned businesses are subject to extensive Federal and state laws and regulations. Subject to certain exceptions, Federal law (the "Federal Anti-Kickback Statute") prohibits the payment or receipt of any remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce, arrange for or recommend the purchase of health care items or services paid for in whole or in part by the Medicare or state health care programs (including Medicaid and TennCare), and certain state laws (although not those of Tennessee) contain similar provisions that may extend the prohibition to cover items or services that are paid for by private insurance and self-pay patients. There can be no assurance that some of the Company's practices will be found to be protected by certain so-called "safe harbor" regulations, which provide insulation from prosecution under the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, and in some instances it is clear that they are not so protected. Federal authorities enforcing the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute have issued Fraud Alerts describing suspect activity and have initiated enforcement proceedings involving practices that have similar features to some of the practices of the Company. In January 1996, the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") promulgated a proposed consent decree with RxCare and its parent, the Tennessee Pharmacists Association, prohibiting certain allegedly anti-competitive practices. Because the FTC justified its challenge and the decree, in part, on RxCare's potential market power in Tennessee, business arrangements and practices involving RxCare, either directly or indirectly, or involving sales to or purchases by RxCare-affiliated pharmacies may face heightened scrutiny or continued review from an anti-competitive perspective by state or Federal regulators and possible challenge by private parties. The existence of this consent order may hamper the Company's efforts to develop or pursue competitive opportunities, in Tennessee or elsewhere, in areas such as group purchasing or market advocacy on behalf of drug manufacturers. Prolonged proceedings involving regulatory or private party challenges to the Company's activities would be costly to the Company and divert its resources, including key personnel. An adverse determination in such a proceeding could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company is also subject to various false claims, drug distribution and consumer protection laws and may be subject to certain other laws, including ERISA and various state insurance laws. While management believes that the Company is in compliance with all existing laws and regulations material to the operation of its business, many of the laws affecting it are uncertain in their application and are subject to interpretation and change. As controversies continue to arise in this area, for example, regarding the efforts of plan sponsors and pharmacy benefit managers to limit formularies, alter drug choice and establish limited networks of participating pharmacies, Federal and state regulation and enforcement priorities in this area 8 can be expected to increase, the impact of which on the Company cannot be predicted. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to scrutiny or challenge under one or more of these laws or that any such challenge would not be successful. Any such challenge, whether or not successful, could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business and results of operations. Violation of the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, for example, may result in substantial criminal penalties, as well as exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid (including TennCare) programs. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain any of the regulatory approvals that may be required to operate its business, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. See "Business--Government Regulation" and "Certain Transactions." DEPENDENCE ON SENIOR MANAGEMENT The Company's operations have been substantially dependent on the services of E. David Corvese, the Vice Chairman and principal stockholder of the Company. In April 1996, Messrs. Klein and Friedman joined the Company and will be responsible for implementing the Company's strategic plan, including the development of the Company's preferred generics business. The loss of the services of one or more of these individuals would have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business. Messrs. Klein, Corvese and Friedman each have employment agreements with the Company which restrict the ability of such officers to compete with the Company and its affiliates for a period of one year following termination of such employment agreements. See "Management-- Employment Agreements." RELATIONSHIP OF CERTAIN EXECUTIVE OFFICERS WITH ZENITH GOLDLINE Prior to their employment with the Company, Messrs. Klein and Friedman were executive officers of Zenith Goldline, a major generic drug manufacturer and marketer. Pursuant to termination agreements with Zenith, Mr. Klein has agreed to continue as an untitled employee of Zenith through December 1996 and to act as a consultant to Zenith and its affiliates from January 1997 through December 1998, and Mr. Friedman has agreed to continue as an untitled employee of Zenith through December 1996. Messrs. Klein and Friedman also continue to hold options to purchase shares of common stock of Zenith's parent. Although Messrs. Klein and Friedman intend to devote substantially all of their time to the business and operations of the Company, no assurance can be given that their rights and obligations under their respective termination agreements or that their interests in Zenith's parent will not result in or create a conflict of interest with their obligations to the Company. See "Certain Transactions--Relationship of Certain Executive Officers with Zenith Goldline." CONTROL BY MANAGEMENT Upon consummation of the Offering, the Company's directors and executive officers will beneficially own in the aggregate approximately 72% of the Company's Common Stock (69% if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). Accordingly, they collectively will be able to determine the outcome of virtually all corporate actions requiring approval by the stockholders of the Company, including the election of directors. See "Principal Stockholders." COMPETITION The pharmacy benefit management and generic drug distribution businesses are each highly competitive, and many of the Company's current and potential competitors have considerably greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Company. The pharmacy benefit management business includes a number of large, well capitalized companies with nationwide operations and many smaller organizations typically operating on a local or regional basis. Some of the larger organizations are owned by or otherwise related to a brand name drug manufacturer and may have significant influence on the distribution of pharmaceuticals. Numerous insurance and Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans, managed care organizations and retail drug chains also have their own pharmacy benefit management capabilities. Generic drugs are distributed by numerous generic drug distributors, drug wholesalers and mail order suppliers. Generic drug distributors and wholesalers generally offer a broad line of generic drugs from a variety 9 of sources to a diverse customer base, typically including independent retail and chain pharmacies, government agencies and managed care organizations. In the generic products business (unlike patent-protected brand name drugs), similar versions of existing generic drugs frequently enter the market, resulting in significantly lower prices and margins. In addition, certain agreements between Zenith and Messrs. Klein and Friedman may restrict the Company's ability to compete in certain areas of the preferred generics business, its planned drug distribution business and certain other business areas. See "Business--Competition" and "Certain Transactions--Relationship of Certain Executive Officers with Zenith Goldline." PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY RISK The services provided by the Company in connection with its business may subject the Company to litigation and liability for damages. The Company believes that its insurance protection is adequate for its present business operations, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain and maintain insurance coverage in the future or that such insurance coverage will be available on acceptable terms or adequate to cover any or all potential professional liability, product liability or other claims. A successful claim in excess of the Company's insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. DEPENDENCE ON INFORMATION SYSTEMS The Company believes that its point-of-sale technology is an integral part of its business. Any continuing disruption in its computer or telephone systems could adversely affect its ability to operate its business on a timely basis, and could adversely affect the Company's relations with pharmacies and health plan sponsors. The Company is also dependent on certain licensed software for the operation of its on-line transaction processing system pursuant to a non-exclusive license for a one-year term with automatic renewals. There can be no assurance that the licensor of such software will continue this license beyond the period presently agreed, and the loss of such rights could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. EFFECT OF CERTAIN LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS On March 5, 1996, the Company was added as a third-party defendant in a proceeding in the Superior Court of the State of Rhode Island. The third-party plaintiffs, Medical Marketing Group, Inc. ("MMG"), PPI Holding, Inc. ("PPI Holding") and Payer Prescribing Information, Inc. ("PPI"), allege that the Company employed E. David Corvese, the Company's Vice Chairman, with knowledge of covenants not to compete in effect between Mr. Corvese and PPI, PPI Holding and MMG that prevent Mr. Corvese from competing in the area of the collection, analysis or marketing of data for the pharmaceutical or health care industries relating to physician practice demographics and the influence of managed care plans. The complaint alleges that the Company interfered with the contractual relationship between the parties and that it misappropriated MMG's and PPI's confidential information through its employment of Mr. Corvese. The complaint seeks to enjoin the Company from using confidential information allegedly misappropriated from MMG and PPI and seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory and consequential damages, interest and attorneys' fees. The Company believes that the third-party plaintiffs' allegations are without merit; however, the loss of this litigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. Since January 1996, RxCare has been under audit by the Division of State Audit (Department of Audit of the Comptroller of the Treasury) of the State of Tennessee regarding its operations. Any restrictions on the business activities of RxCare arising from any adverse audit findings could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. See "Business--Legal and Regulatory Proceedings." POSSIBLE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF PREFERRED STOCK The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, the designation, rights and preferences of which (including voting, dividend, redemption and liquidation rights) may be fixed by the Company's Board of Directors from time to time without further stockholder action. Shares of Preferred Stock 10 could be issued in the future with rights and preferences that could make the possible takeover of the Company or the removal of management of the Company more difficult or could otherwise adversely impact the rights of holders of Common Stock. See "Description of Capital Stock--Preferred Stock." SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE Sales of substantial amounts of shares of Common Stock in the public market after the Offering, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Common Stock. Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have a total of 12,023,800 shares of Common Stock outstanding, assuming no exercise of outstanding stock options and no exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option. Of these shares, the 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be freely tradeable without restriction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), by persons other than "affiliates" of the Company, as defined under the Securities Act. The remaining 8,023,800 shares of Common Stock outstanding are "restricted shares" as that term is defined by Rule 144 as promulgated under the Securities Act. Of these restricted shares, 45,000 will be saleable in the public market 90 days following the date of this Prospectus, subject to compliance with Rule 144. Beginning 180 days after the date of this Prospectus (or earlier for certain limited transactions or with the written consent of PaineWebber Incorporated on behalf of the Underwriters), 4,455,000 additional restricted shares will become eligible for sale in the public market upon the expiration of lock-up agreements between the Underwriters and the holders of such shares, subject to compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale." A reserve of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock has been established for issuance under the Company's 1996 Stock Incentive Plan. At May 31, 1996, options to purchase a total of 3,821,853 shares of Common Stock were outstanding under that Plan, of which options to purchase 2,683,400 shares were exercisable. See "Management--Stock Incentive Plan." IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION Investors purchasing shares of Common Stock in the Offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of their shares of approximately $11.42 per share from the assumed initial public offering price of $15.00 per share (the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus). In the event the Company issues additional Common Stock in the future, purchasers of Common Stock in the Offering may experience further dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the Common Stock. See "Dilution." ABSENCE OF PUBLIC MARKET; DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock and there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market will develop or be sustained. The initial public offering price for the Common Stock offered hereby will be determined by negotiations between the Company and the Underwriters and may bear no relationship to the price at which the Common Stock will trade after completion of the Offering. See "Underwriting" for factors to be considered in determining the offering price. In addition, the stock market has, from time to time, experienced extreme price and volume volatility. These fluctuations may be unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies whose shares are publicly traded. Market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. The market price of the Common Stock could also be subject to significant fluctuations in response to the Company's operating results, government regulation and other factors, and there can be no assurance that the market price of the Common Stock will not decline below the initial public offering price. NO INTENTION TO PAY DIVIDENDS The Company presently intends to retain all earnings, if any, to support the operation and expansion of its business and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. See "Dividend Policy." 11 USE OF PROCEEDS The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of shares of Common Stock offered hereby (assuming an initial public offering price of $15.00 per share) are estimated to be $54.8 million ($63.2 million if the over-allotment option granted to the Underwriters is exercised in full), after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses of the Offering payable by the Company. The Company intends to use approximately $18.6 million to fund the expansion of the Company's preferred generics business (including the purchase of inventory), approximately $7.0 million to fund additional pharmacy benefit management programs, approximately $2.6 million to enhance its management information system capabilities and the balance for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company may also use a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering for the acquisition of technology, assets or businesses complementary to the Company's business, although no such acquisitions are currently being negotiated. The uses of proceeds described above are estimates and are subject to change. Pending use for the purposes described above, the Company will invest such net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing, investment grade securities. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business." DIVIDEND POLICY The Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company intends to retain all working capital and earnings, if any, for use in the Company's operations and in the expansion of its business. Any future determination with respect to the payment of dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, the Company's results of operations, financial condition and capital requirements, the terms of any then existing indebtedness, general business conditions and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. 12 CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Company at March 31, 1996 and as adjusted to reflect the sale of the shares of Common Stock offered by the Company hereby (assuming an initial public offering price of $15.00 per share), after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. This table should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.

- -------- (1) Excludes 3,003,900 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options at March 31, 1996. Also excludes 817,953 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of additional options that were granted in May 1996. 13 DILUTION The net tangible book value of the Company at March 31, 1996 was approximately ($11.8 million), or ($1.47) per share of Common Stock. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of the Company's total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. After giving effect to the sale by the Company of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby at an assumed initial public offering price of $15.00 per share (after deducting Underwriters' discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses), the net tangible book value of the Company as of March 31, 1996 would have been approximately $3.58 per share. This represents an immediate increase of $5.05 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $11.42 per share to new investors. The following table illustrates this per share dilution: Assumed initial public offering price per share............ $15.00 Net tangible book value per share before Offering........ $(1.47) Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to new public investors.................... 5.05 ------ Net tangible book value per share after the Offering....... 3.58 ------ Dilution per share to new investors........................ $11.42 ======
The following table summarizes at May 31, 1996 the differences between the number of shares of Common Stock purchased from the Company, the total cash consideration paid (before deducting Underwriters' discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses), and the average price per share paid by the existing stockholders and by the investors purchasing shares of Common Stock in the Offering (based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $15.00 per share):

The foregoing tables assume no exercise of any outstanding options to purchase Common Stock after May 31, 1996. At May 31, 1996, 3,821,853 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding options under the Company's 1996 Stock Incentive Plan at a weighted average exercise price of approximately $3.22 per share. To the extent that these outstanding options are exercised, the dilution per share to new investors would be $11.51. See "Management--Stock Incentive Plan." 14 SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA The following selected consolidated financial data as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, for the period from inception (June 22, 1993) through December 31, 1993 and for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Prospectus. The selected consolidated financial data as of March 31, 1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 are derived from the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

15 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in the Prospectus. OVERVIEW Virtually all of the Company's revenues to date have been derived from operations in the State of Tennessee under the Company's contract with RxCare of Tennessee, Inc. ("RxCare"), a professional services administrative organization owned by the Tennessee Pharmacists Association and representing approximately 1,200 retail pharmacies in Tennessee. See "Risk Factors-- Dependence on RxCare Relationship." RxCare initially contracted with the Company in 1993 to help secure health plan pharmaceutical business for the RxCare network and to provide related services, including pharmacy benefit design and pricing. In December 1993, the State of Tennessee announced the formation of its TennCare program, a state health program for formerly Medicaid-eligible, and certain uninsured and uninsurable, Tennessee residents. Under this program, selected plan sponsors (such as HMOs and other managed care organizations) contracted with the State of Tennessee to provide mandated medical services to designated portions of TennCare beneficiaries on a capitated basis--that is, for a fixed monthly fee per plan member. In turn, certain of these plan sponsors contracted with RxCare to provide TennCare- mandated pharmaceutical benefits to the plan sponsor's TennCare beneficiaries through RxCare's network of retail pharmacies, in most cases on a corresponding capitated basis. In March 1994, the Company agreed with RxCare to provide a broad range of pharmacy benefit management services with respect to RxCare's TennCare and private pharmaceutical benefit businesses. Under the RxCare contract, the Company pays certain amounts to RxCare and shares with RxCare the profit, if any, from activities under RxCare's contracts with plan sponsors. The Company initially began providing pharmacy benefits for five plan sponsors representing 335,000 members of Tennessee's Medicaid population. In April 1995, a contract was added with the single largest TennCare provider, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Tennessee ("Blue Cross"), for approximately 623,000 members. At May 31, 1996, the Company provided pharmacy benefit management services to 19 health plan sponsors with an aggregate of approximately 1.1 million plan members in Tennessee, primarily on a capitated basis. Although the Company commenced limited operations in June 1993, the Company did not begin to receive significant revenue until 1994 pursuant to its agreement with RxCare. Accordingly, the results of operations for 1994 compared to 1993 are not meaningful and have not been included herein. See "Risk Factors--Limited Operating History; Ability to Manage Growth." RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to three months ended March 31, 1995 For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company recorded a net loss of $0.3 million on revenue of $66.6 million. This compares with a net loss of $0.5 million on revenue of $29.2 million for the same period in 1995. The increase of $37.4 million in revenue was primarily due to the addition of the Blue Cross contract in April 1995. For the first quarter of 1996, approximately 92% of the Company's revenue was generated through capitated contracts, compared with 83% during the first quarter of 1995. At December 31, 1995, the Company had accrued $4.5 million to cover the losses expected to be incurred under the remaining term of the Blue Cross contract through June 1996; approximately $1.7 million of such accrual remained at March 31, 1996. The Company is currently in the process of renegotiating the contract. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased from 96.3% in the first quarter of 1995 to 97.3% in the first quarter of 1996, primarily due to an increase in claims paid as a result of higher drug utilization rates per member under the Company's programs. General and administrative expenses were $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995, an increase of 29.4%. The $0.5 million increase was largely attributable to the costs of additional personnel to support expanded marketing efforts in the commercial marketplace as well as further opportunities in Medicaid programs similar to TennCare. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses declined from 5.8% in the first quarter of 1995 to 3.4% in the first quarter of 1996. 16 Year ended December 31, 1995 compared to the year ended December 31, 1994 For the year ended December 31, 1995 the Company recorded a net loss of $6.8 million on revenue of $213.9 million. This compares with a net loss of $2.5 million on revenue of $109.3 million for 1994. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the addition of the Blue Cross contract in April 1995. In 1995, approximately 90% of the Company's revenue was generated through capitated contracts, compared with 85% during 1994. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased from 97.6% in 1994 to 99.8% in 1995, primarily due to the increase in claims paid as a result of the addition of the Blue Cross contract. The drug utilization rate of Blue Cross participants was significantly higher than rates previously experienced under other contracts, resulting in losses under that contract of $10 million during 1995, including the accrual of approximately $4.5 million to cover the expected losses to be incurred under the remainder of the contract. Claims expense (after giving effect to such accrual) was 107% of capitation revenues under the contract. General and administrative expenses were $8.0 million in 1995 and $5.3 million in 1994, an increase of 50.9%. Of the $2.7 million increase, $2.0 million was the result of a charge relating to an advance to RxCare in 1995 which the Company has fully reserved for. The remainder of the increase is largely attributable to the costs of additional personnel to support expanded marketing efforts. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses declined from 4.8% in 1994 to 3.8% in 1995. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As a result of the Company's ongoing losses, the Company had a working capital deficit of $12.5 million at March 31, 1996. The Company's primary source of liquidity to date has been the receipt of revenue from plan sponsors under capitated programs. From time to time, the Company has also delayed payments due plan sponsors and others in order to meet its working capital requirements. In June 1996, John H. Klein, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, loaned $500,000 to the Company for working capital purposes pursuant to an unsecured, 10% promissory note that is payable upon demand. Cash and cash equivalents were $4.5 million at March 31, 1996, compared with $1.8 million at December 31, 1995. Operating activities of the Company generated $3.0 million in cash for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared with $1.4 million in the year ended December 31, 1995, an increase of $1.6 million. The increase during the first quarter of 1996 was primarily the result of a decrease in receivables of $1.3 million and increases in payables to plan sponsors and others and accrued expenses of $1.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The impact of these items was partially offset by a decrease in claims payable of $0.4 million. The Company does not currently have any significant capital commitments. The Company believes that the funds expected to be generated from operations and the anticipated net proceeds of the Offering will provide adequate cash to fund the Company's anticipated working capital and other cash needs for the foreseeable future. The Company believes that its improved financial condition and capital structure following the Offering will enhance its ability to negotiate and obtain additional contracts with plan sponsors and other potential customers. OTHER MATTERS The Company's pharmaceutical reimbursement claims have historically been subject to a significant increase over annual averages from October through February, which the Company believes is due to increased medical problems during the colder months. Changes in prices charged by manufacturers and wholesalers for pharmaceuticals affect the Company's cost of revenue. The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on the results of its operations. 17 The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123 requires that an entity account for employee stock compensation under a fair value-based method. However, SFAS 123 also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, entities electing to remain with accounting under APB 25 are required to make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value-based method of accounting under SFAS 123 had been applied. The Company will continue to account for employee stock-based compensation under APB 25 and will make the pro forma disclosures required under SFAS 123. 18 BUSINESS SUMMARY The Company is a pharmacy management organization that provides a broad range of services designed to promote the cost-effective delivery of pharmacy benefits. The Company targets organizations involved in three key segments of the pharmaceutical health care industry--sponsors of public and private health plans (such as HMOs and other managed care organizations), retail pharmacies and pharmaceutical manufacturers--and offers services that provide financial benefits to each of them. The Company works with plan sponsors and local health care professionals to design, implement and manage innovative programs to control pharmacy benefit costs, primarily through financial risk sharing arrangements and increased substitution of lower-cost generic drugs for brand name drugs. Participating retail pharmacies receive management and support services, as well as financial incentives to purchase and dispense preferred generic drugs. Finally, the Company offers manufacturers of generic drugs the potential to increase their market share in regions covered by participating pharmacies as a result of the increase in generic drug utilization encouraged by the Company's programs. The Company has derived virtually all of its revenues to date from operations in the State of Tennessee under the TennCare Medicaid waiver program for formerly Medicaid-eligible, and certain uninsured and uninsurable, Tennessee residents. These revenues have been derived pursuant to a contract with RxCare, a professional services administrative organization owned by the Tennessee Pharmacists Association and representing approximately 1,200 retail pharmacies in Tennessee. At May 31, 1996, the Company provided pharmacy benefit management services, such as formulary design and compliance, drug usage evaluation, claims processing and disease management, to 19 health plan sponsors with an aggregate of approximately 1.1 million plan members. Substantially all of such members participate in six of such health plans, representing approximately 88% of the eligible participants in the TennCare program. During 1995, approximately 90% of the Company's $214 million in revenues was derived from contracts under which the Company was paid on a capitated basis (that is, on the basis of a fixed monthly fee per plan member). Since program inception in January 1994, the generic utilization rate as a percentage of all covered prescriptions under the Company's pharmacy benefit management programs has averaged 67%, compared to an industry average of 40% during 1994. BUSINESS STRATEGY The Company intends to continue to work closely with plan sponsors, pharmacists and generic drug manufacturers to encourage the delivery of clinically acceptable pharmaceutical care on a cost-effective basis, primarily through restricted formularies and continued generic substitution. The Company has developed the following strategy: Establish MIM as a National Pharmacy Benefit Manager. The Company intends to market its pharmacy benefit management services to sponsors of public and private health plans throughout the country on a capitated or cost savings sharing basis, thereby transferring from the plan sponsor to the Company all or some of the risk of controlling overall pharmacy benefit costs. Building upon the experience it has gained from managing capitated TennCare pharmacy benefit programs, the Company intends to offer its innovative financial risk sharing programs to plan sponsors in similar highly price-competitive and emerging capitated markets, while also continuing to offer traditional fee- for-service programs. In addition, the Company will further develop its information systems to provide plan sponsors with real-time access to pharmacy and financial data. Strengthen Pharmacy Relationships. The Company believes that local pharmacists play a critical role in providing high quality cost-effective care, including the point-of-sale substitution of generic drugs when appropriate. The Company intends to increase pharmacy participation in its programs by continuing to offer financial incentives and discount drug purchasing services, as well as a broad range of pharmacy support programs for local retail pharmacists. Market Preferred Generics. The Company is currently marketing and promoting certain generic drugs of Zenith Goldline in the State of Tennessee under the Company's preferred generics program. In general, the 19 Company's preferred generics program encourages pharmacies to stock a particular manufacturer's generic drugs ("preferred generics") in lieu of brand name or other generic drugs in the same therapeutic class by arranging for discounts on the purchase of preferred generics by pharmacies. Under Company-managed pharmacy benefit programs, the Company also provides financial incentives to pharmacies to sell preferred generics. These arrangements and incentives are designed to encourage participating pharmacies to dispense and sell preferred generics to all of their customers, including those not covered by Company-managed pharmacy benefit plans. The Company intends to expand its preferred generics program with Zenith Goldline to other geographic areas and is negotiating similar arrangements with other generic drug manufacturers. The Company also plans, subject to economic and other conditions, to distribute generic and over-the-counter drugs under its own private label. Certain agreements may restrict the Company's ability to compete in certain areas of the Company's preferred generics business, its planned drug distribution business and certain other business areas. See "--Preferred Generics" and "Certain Transactions--Relationship of Certain Executive Officers with Zenith Goldline." INDUSTRY OVERVIEW Pharmacy Benefit Management. The retail pharmaceutical market has grown in recent years, with over two billion prescriptions filled and sales of approximately $57 billion in 1994. Pharmaceutical costs, as well as other medical costs, are increasingly being covered by sponsors of public and private health plans, including plans administered by managed care organizations. Approximately 45% of retail prescription sales dollars during 1994 were paid by plan sponsors, with over 51 million people in the United States belonging to managed care organizations at the end of 1994. According to published reports, by the year 2000 approximately 80 million people in the United States are expected to belong to managed care organizations, and such organizations are expected to be responsible for approximately 76% of all retail prescription sales dollars. Industry-wide financial pressures have created incentives for managed care organizations and other plan sponsors to limit their exposure to rising medical costs. In order to focus on their core business, plan sponsors have increasingly turned to pharmacy benefit managers to help administer and control the cost of the pharmacy benefit component of their overall benefit programs. Pharmacy benefit managers have typically operated on a fee-for- service basis in which the profitability of the pharmacy benefit manager is based more upon the volume of claims processed than upon the reduction of the cost of the pharmacy benefit. The Company believes that in order for plan sponsors and pharmacy benefit managers to maintain profitability, they have increasingly relied on rebates from drug manufacturers and have reduced reimbursement rates to retail pharmacies. This trend has contributed to a general decrease in retail pharmacy profitability and consolidation in the retail pharmacy industry. Generic Drugs. The Company believes that generic drug sales will continue to increase, primarily because of the expiration of patents on brand name drugs and their relatively high cost compared to generic drugs, which typically sell at a 30% to 70% discount to brand name drug equivalents. Published industry reports estimate that brand name drugs with approximately $60 billion in sales during 1994 are expected to be subject to generic competition within ten years. This potential market opportunity has three components. First, there were approximately $28 billion of off-patent brand name drug sales in 1994 for which a generic equivalent was available. Second, patents on brand name drugs with 1994 sales of approximately $25 billion are scheduled to expire during the next ten years. Third, there is an additional $7 billion of off patent brand-name drugs for which no generic drug equivalent has been approved. Generic drug sales have increased steadily in recent years, reaching approximately $5.6 billion in 1994. Certain other factors that have contributed, and that are expected to continue to contribute, to the increase in the sales of generic drugs include the following: (a) the continuing transition of health plans from cost reimbursement to managed care has encouraged the use of lower-cost generic drugs when available; (b) changes in distribution patterns have resulted in more prescription drugs being sold through sources that are financially motivated to use lower-cost generic drugs, such as managed care organizations, preferred provider pharmacy networks and mail order drug distributors; (c) various state laws have been enacted that enable, and in some instances mandate, the use of generic drugs; (d) greater awareness and acceptance of the safety and efficacy of 20 generic drugs among consumers, prescribers and pharmacists; and (e) streamlined procedures for approval of certain generic drugs have provided an incentive for manufacturers to develop generic equivalents for brand name drugs with smaller markets. RELATIONSHIP WITH RXCARE AND TENNCARE Virtually all of the Company's revenues to date have been derived from operations in the State of Tennessee under the Company's contract with RxCare of Tennessee, Inc. ("RxCare"), a professional services administrative organization owned by the Tennessee Pharmacists Association and representing approximately 1,200 retail pharmacies in Tennessee. RxCare initially retained the Company in 1993 to assist in obtaining health plan pharmaceutical benefit business for Tennessee pharmacies and related services, including pharmacy benefit design and pricing. See "Certain Transactions--Relationship with RxCare." In December 1993, the State of Tennessee announced the institution effective January 1, 1994 of its TennCare program, a so-called "Medicaid waiver" state health program for formerly Medicaid-eligible, and certain uninsured and uninsurable, Tennessee residents. Under this program, selected plan sponsors contracted with the State of Tennessee to provide mandated medical services to designated portions of the TennCare beneficiaries on a capitated basis. In turn, certain of these plan sponsors contracted with RxCare to provide TennCare-mandated pharmaceutical benefits to the plan sponsor's TennCare beneficiaries through RxCare's network of retail pharmacies, in most cases on a corresponding capitated basis. In addition, RxCare is typically required to share with plan sponsors its manufacturers' rebates and profits. In March 1994, the Company agreed with RxCare to provide a broad range of pharmacy benefit management services with respect to RxCare's TennCare and private pharmaceutical benefit businesses. The Company pays certain amounts to RxCare and shares with RxCare the profit, if any, from activities under RxCare's contracts with TennCare plan sponsors and other plan sponsors in Tennessee. Under the RxCare contract, the Company performs essentially all of RxCare's obligations under its pharmacy benefit contracts with sponsors of public and private health plans in Tennessee. The Company (a) markets and negotiates new pharmacy benefit management contracts, (b) designs and prices the pharmacy benefit programs (including restricted formularies and related procedures) with local health care professionals, (c) manages the delivery of the pharmacy benefits through RxCare's pharmacy network (including recommending or establishing the prices that RxCare pays pharmacists for each drug), (d) provides or arranges for the provision by third parties of claims processing and other pharmacy benefit management functions, (e) receives fees due from the plan sponsors, (f) designs and administers incentive programs with suppliers of pharmaceutical products covered by the plans (including the collection of rebates from manufacturers on drugs dispensed under the plans) and (g) makes payments to pharmacies for delivered pharmacy benefits. The Company also negotiates agreements with pharmacies on behalf of RxCare which establish the terms of their participation in the network. Although the Company has been providing services to plan sponsors under the RxCare agreement since March 1994, the sponsors have not, when required, formally consented to the Company's provision of such services on behalf of RxCare. RxCare may reasonably decline to execute any contract with plan sponsors or pharmacies, or any amendment or renewal thereof, negotiated by the Company on behalf of RxCare. While most of RxCare's private pharmacy benefit management contracts provide for payment of per-transaction network fees or traditional fee-for-service compensation, over 90% of RxCare's TennCare business under contracts with plan sponsors was serviced by the Company on a capitated basis during 1995. The Company's contract with RxCare is scheduled to expire in December 1998 unless renewed in accordance with its terms. In December 1995, the Company also agreed with RxCare to assist network pharmacies in obtaining generic drugs in return for a fee payable to the Company by vendors of generic drugs. 21 At May 31, 1996, the Company provided pharmacy benefit management services to 19 plan sponsors with an aggregate of approximately 1.1 million plan members in Tennessee, primarily on a capitated basis. Substantially all of such members participate in health plans of six of such plan sponsors, representing approximately 88% of the eligible participants in the TennCare program. Since program inception in January 1994, the generic utilization rate as a percentage of all covered prescriptions under the Company's pharmacy benefit management programs has averaged 67%, compared to an industry average of 40% during 1994. RxCare's contracts with TennCare plan sponsors typically are for a term of one year and are subject to automatic renewal unless notice of termination is given by either party. Those contracts are subject to early termination upon the occurrence of certain events, including a breach of the agreement which is not cured within 30 days of notice, insolvency, termination of the TennCare program (which is currently scheduled to terminate on December 31, 1998) or termination of the plan sponsor's contract with the State of Tennessee. RxCare's contracts with Tennessee Primary Care Network, Inc., Preferred Health Partnership and Health Net accounted for approximately 60%, 15% and 13%, respectively, of the Company's revenues in 1994, and RxCare's contracts with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Tennessee and Tennessee Primary Care Network, Inc. accounted for approximately 45% and 30%, respectively, of the Company's revenues in 1995. Although the Company continues to add new Tennessee private plan sponsors as customers under the RxCare contract, the loss of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield or Tennessee Primary Care Network contracts, or the RxCare contract, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. See "Risk Factors--Dependence on RxCare Relationship." BENEFIT MANAGEMENT SERVICES The Company offers plan sponsors a broad range of services that are designed to ensure the cost-effective delivery of clinically acceptable pharmacy benefits. The Company's benefit management programs include a number of design features and fee structures that are tailored to suit a customer's particular service and cost requirements. In addition to traditional fee-for-service arrangements, the Company offers alternative methodologies for pricing its various benefit management packages, including charging a fixed fee per capita, as well as sharing costs exceeding established per capita amounts or sharing savings where costs are less than established per capita amounts. Benefit parameters are managed through a point-of-sale ("POS") claims processing system through which real-time electronic messages are transmitted to pharmacists to ensure compliance with specified parameters before services are rendered. The Company's organization and programs are clinically oriented, with a high proportion of staff having pharmacological certification, training and experience. Benefit management services available to customers of the Company include the following: Formulary Design and Compliance. The Company offers flexible formulary designs to meet the plan sponsor's requirements. Many plan sponsors do not restrict coverage to a specific list of pharmaceuticals and are said to have no formulary or an open formulary that generally covers all FDA-approved drugs except certain classes of excluded pharmaceuticals (such as certain vitamins and cosmetic, experimental, investigative or over-the-counter drugs). As a result of rising program costs, the Company believes that both public and private health plans have become increasingly receptive to restricting the drugs covered in any given therapeutic class. Once a determination has been made by a plan sponsor to utilize a restricted or closed formulary, the Company actively involves local Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committees (consisting of local plan sponsors, prescribers, pharmacists and other health care professionals) to design clinically acceptable formularies in order to control costs. The composition of the formulary is subject to the final approval of the plan sponsor. An essential component of formulary design is the promotion of the substitution of therapeutically equivalent generic drugs, in lieu of brand name drugs, to the extent permitted by law and standards of medical and pharmacy practice. Increased usage of generic drugs by Company-managed pharmacy benefit programs also enables the Company to obtain purchasing concessions and other financial incentives on generic drugs, which may be shared with plan sponsors. While brand name drug rebates are also negotiated under certain circumstances, the Company believes that it is less dependent on such rebates than certain larger pharmacy benefit managers, particularly those that are owned by drug manufacturers. 22 The primary method for assuring formulary compliance is that pharmacists will not be reimbursed for dispensing non-formulary drugs, subject to certain limited exceptions. The Company also provides financial incentives to pharmacists to utilize preferred status products. Formulary compliance is managed with the active assistance of participating network pharmacists, primarily through prior authorization procedures, on-line POS edits as to particular subscribers and other network communications. Overutilization of medication is monitored and managed through quantity limitations, based upon nationally recognized standards and guidelines regarding maintenance vs. non- maintenance therapy and the use of certain therapeutic classes of drugs and specific medications. Step protocols, which are procedures requiring that preferred therapies be tried and shown ineffective before less favored therapies are covered, also are established by the Company in conjunction with local Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committees to control improper utilization of certain high-risk or high-cost medications. Overrides and Prior Authorizations. The Company's formularies typically provide an appropriate selection of covered drugs within all major therapeutic classes to treat the vast majority of medical conditions. However, provision is made for covering non-formulary drugs (other than excluded products) when shown to be clinically appropriate. Since non-formulary drugs ordinarily are automatically rejected for coverage by the real-time POS system, procedures may be employed to override restrictions on non-formulary medications for a particular patient and period of treatment. Restrictions on the use of certain high-risk or high-cost formulary drugs may be similarly overridden through prior authorization procedures. Non-formulary overrides and prior authorizations are processed on the basis of documented, clinically-supported medical necessity and typically are granted or denied within 24 hours after request. Requests for, and appeals of denials of, coverage in these cases are handled by the Company through its staff of trained pharmacists, nationally certified pharmacy technicians and board certified pharmacotherapy specialists. Further, in case of a medical emergency as determined by the dispensing pharmacist, the Company authorizes, without prior approval, short- term supplies of antibiotics and certain other medications. Drug Usage Evaluation. Drug usage is evaluated on a concurrent, prospective and retrospective basis, utilizing the real-time POS system and proprietary information systems, for multiple drug interactions, drug-health condition interactions, duplication of therapy, step therapy protocol enforcement, minimum/maximum dose range edits, compliance with prescribed utilization levels and early refill notification. The Company also maintains an on-going drug utilization review program in which select medication therapies are reviewed and data collected, analyzed and reported for management and educational applications. Pharmacy Data Services. The Company is currently developing systems to provide plan sponsors with real-time access to pharmacy, financial, claims, prescriber, subscriber and dispensing data. Claims Processing. The Company utilizes claims processing data to generate reports for management and plan sponsor use, including drug utilization review, quality assurance, claims analysis and rebate contract administration. The Company also intends to market its existing claims processing capability to plan sponsors. Disease Management. The Company designs and administers programs geared toward specific diseases to maximize the benefit of pharmaceutical use as a tool in achieving therapy goals. Programs focus on preventing high risk events, such as asthma exacerbations or stroke, through appropriate use of pharmaceuticals, while eliminating unnecessary or duplicate therapies. Key components of these programs include health care provider training, integration of care between health disciplines, monitoring of patient compliance, measurement of care process and quality, and providing feedback for continuous improvement in achieving therapy goals. Diseases that can be favorably affected through customized pharmaceutical management include asthma, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, tuberculosis and diabetes. Other patients who can benefit from these services include those who receive long- term institutional care and individuals who are at high risk for adverse drug reaction due to complex, multiple drug maintenance regimens. 23 PREFERRED GENERICS The Company believes it is able to increase a generic drug manufacturer's market share in regions where the Company has established relationships with pharmacy networks. The Company encourages pharmacies to stock a particular manufacturer's generic drugs ("preferred generics") in lieu of brand and other generic drugs in the same therapeutic class by generally arranging for discounts on the purchase of preferred generics by pharmacies. Under Company- managed pharmacy benefit programs, the Company also provides financial incentives to pharmacies to sell preferred generics. These incentives are designed to encourage participating pharmacies to dispense and sell preferred generics to all of their customers, including those not covered by Company- managed pharmacy benefit plans. The Company also offers generic drug manufacturers consulting services with respect to marketing and promoting their generic drugs. The Company is currently marketing and promoting certain preferred generic drugs of Zenith Goldline pursuant to two three-year contracts entered into in December 1995. Under one contract, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to cause Zenith Goldline to be designated as the preferred or exclusive supplier of certain generic drugs carried by Zenith Goldline under the Company's TennCare programs. The Company is also required to pay certain incentive fees to pharmacists for dispensing Zenith Goldline products to persons covered by the Company's TennCare programs. In return, the Company receives a fee based on a percentage of the growth in Zenith Goldline's gross margins from related sales. Under the other agreement, MIM Strategic Marketing, LLC ("MIM Strategic"), a Rhode Island limited liability company and a 90%-owned subsidiary of the Company, has agreed to provide marketing and sales information relating to generic drugs. In return, the Company receives a fee based on a percentage of the growth in Zenith Goldline's gross margins from sales in Tennessee other than those related to TennCare members. Zenith Goldline owns 10% of MIM Strategic. See "Certain Transactions--Relationship of Certain Executive Officers with Zenith Goldline." The agreements prohibit the Company from accepting any proposal from any other manufacturer or seller of generic drugs to participate in a program anywhere in the United States similar to the Company's arrangement with Zenith Goldline without first offering Zenith Goldline the right to participate on the same terms. The Company is currently negotiating with Zenith Goldline to extend such services to other states and the Company intends to offer such services to other generic drug manufacturers. The Company may, subject to economic conditions and other factors, expand its business to become a private label distributor of generic and over-the- counter drugs, by buying discounted drugs in bulk from manufacturers for resale and further distribution, at least initially, through wholesalers and other traditional industry distribution channels. COMPETITION The pharmacy benefit management and generic drug distribution businesses are each highly competitive, and many of the Company's current and potential competitors have considerably greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Company. The pharmacy benefit management business includes a number of large, well capitalized companies with nationwide operations and many smaller organizations typically operating on a local or regional basis. Some of the larger organizations are owned by or otherwise related to a brand name drug manufacturer and may have significant influence on the distribution of pharmaceuticals. Among larger companies offering pharmacy benefit management services are Medco Containment Services, Inc. (a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc.), Caremark International Inc., PCS, Inc. (a subsidiary of Eli Lilly & Company), Express Scripts, Inc., Value Health, Inc., Diversified Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (a subsidiary of SmithKline Beecham) and National Prescription Administrators, Inc. Numerous insurance and Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans, managed care organizations and retail drug chains also have their own pharmacy benefit management capabilities. Generic drugs are distributed by numerous generic drug distributors, drug wholesalers and mail order suppliers. Generic drug distributors and wholesalers generally offer a broad line of generic drugs from a variety of sources to a diverse customer base, typically including independent retail and chain pharmacies, government agencies and managed care organizations. Chain pharmacies use their size to procure pharmaceuticals on advantageous terms, and independent pharmacies frequently are offered opportunities through trade and wholesaler 24 organizations to join group purchasing efforts. In addition, certain agreements between Zenith and Messrs. Klein and Friedman may restrict the Company's ability to compete in certain areas of its preferred generics business, its planned drug distribution business and certain other business areas. See "Certain Transactions--Relationship of Certain Executive Officers with Zenith Goldline." GOVERNMENT REGULATION The Company's current and planned businesses are subject to extensive Federal and state laws and regulations. While management believes that the Company is in compliance with all existing laws and regulations material to the operation of its business, many of the laws affecting it are uncertain in their application and are subject to interpretation and change. As controversies continue to arise in this area, for example, regarding the efforts of plan sponsors and pharmacy benefit managers to limit formularies, alter drug choice and establish limited networks of participating pharmacies, Federal and state regulation and enforcement priorities in this area can be expected to increase, the impact of which on the Company cannot be predicted. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to scrutiny or challenge under one or more of these laws or that any such challenge would not be successful. Any such challenge, whether or not successful, could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business and results of operations. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain any of the regulatory approvals that may be required to operate its business, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. Anti-Kickback Laws. Subject to certain exceptions, a Federal law (the "Federal Anti-Kickback Statute") prohibits the payment or receipt of any remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce, arrange for or recommend the purchase of health care items or services paid for in whole or in part by the Medicare or state health care programs (including Medicaid and TennCare), and certain state laws (although not those of Tennessee) contain similar provisions that may extend the prohibition to cover items or services that are paid for by private insurance and self-pay patients (together with the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the "Anti-Kickback Laws"). The Company's arrangements with RxCare, RxCare's Chairman, Zenith Goldline, other drug manufacturers, health plan sponsors and pharmacies involve payments to or from persons providing or purchasing, or recommending or arranging for the purchase of, items or services paid in part by the TennCare program. See "Certain Transactions." Management believes the Company is in compliance with the Anti- Kickback Laws; however, the laws in this area are uncertain in their application, and there can be no assurance that in the future the foregoing arrangements will not be challenged or found to violate such laws if, among other things, a party thereto is found to have the requisite intent. As a felony provision, a violation of the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute requires proof of criminal intent, with those found in violation subject to substantial criminal penalties, as well as exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid (including TennCare) programs. Courts differ, however, regarding the requisite level of criminal intent necessary to find a violation of the Federal Anti- Kickback Statute. Although a Federal appellate court has ruled that a violation requires proof that the parties specifically intended to violate the law, this decision was not followed by the one subsequent case to rule on this question. State Anti-Kickback Laws may impose different standards of intent than the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute. In July 1991 and January 1996, the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General ("OIG") issued so-called "safe harbor" regulations specifying certain managed care, discount, management and personal services, group purchasing, and other arrangements involving payments which, although potentially capable of constituting unlawful remuneration, will be protected from prosecution or civil sanctions under the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute. There can be no assurance that any of the Company's arrangements mentioned above will be found to be protected by these safe harbors, and in some instances it is clear that they are not so protected. The OIG has indicated, however, that failure of an arrangement to comply with a specific safe harbor provision does not necessarily indicate that it will challenge the arrangement or that it violates the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute. 25 In August 1994, the OIG issued a Fraud Alert describing prescription drug marketing practices that the OIG might investigate under the Federal Anti- Kickback Statute, including among other things product conversion programs that offer cash rewards to pharmacies for switching prescriptions from one drug to another. The Fraud Alert also indicates that a payment may be considered improper if it is made to a person in a position to generate business for the paying party, is related to the volume of business generated and exceeds the fair market value of services rendered to the payor, or is unrelated to any service other than referrals. The Fraud Alert uses broad language to describe some of the practices that it indicates the OIG might investigate, and it could be interpreted as including among them some of the Company's practices. However, management believes that the kinds of financial incentives paid to or by the Company where it has been acting as a purchaser of drug products on behalf of plan sponsors in connection with the TennCare Program are not prohibited by the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute. Payments by a health care provider to an entity that refers or influences the referral of Medicare or Medicaid business and subcontracts a substantial portion of the required services and financial risk to the health care provider have been the subject of an OIG Fraud Alert on Joint Venture Arrangements issued in April 1989 and a formal proceeding brought by the OIG under the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute seeking to exclude the parties from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Payments by a health care provider to a consultant who has influence over Medicare or Medicaid referrals because of his position of authority with a referral source have been the subject of a successful prosecution by the Department of Justice under the Federal Anti- Kickback Statute. In such cases, a court's inquiry is directed towards whether the payments were intended in whole or in part to induce referrals or whether they were for other legitimate purposes. Some Federal appeals courts have held that if one among a number of purposes for a payment is improper, then the payment is unlawful. Although the Company believes that its payments to RxCare and RxCare's Chairman, a consultant to the Company, comply with the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, no assurances can be given that a challenge might not be brought involving one or more such payments, or that such a challenge might not be successful. Whether or not successful, such a challenge could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. In recent years, Federal health care prosecutions have been initiated by so- called qui tam litigants who file suits as private parties on behalf of the government seeking a portion of the fines eventually assessed by prosecutors against health care providers alleged to have filed false claims with the Medicare or Medicaid programs. Some courts have permitted qui tam actions to proceed where the wrongful activity alleged is a violation of the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute. In general, if one or more of the Company's transactions were found to constitute false claims or deemed to be fraudulent under state or Federal laws, the Company and responsible individuals could be subject to substantial civil and criminal penalties and restitution. Specifically, if one or more of the Company's transactions described under "Certain Transactions" were determined to be inappropriately classified or described, the Company could be required to make restitution or pay other sums as compensation or penalties. In addition to the Anti-Kickback Laws, certain state laws designed to protect consumers have been the basis for investigations and multi-state settlements requiring the discontinuance of certain financial incentives provided by manufacturers to retail pharmacies to promote the sale of the manufacturers' drugs. One recent settlement required, among other things, that a pharmacy benefit manager owned by a drug manufacturer inform physicians of the identity of its owner and the manufacturer of the drugs being recommended when attempting to persuade physicians to switch prescription drugs. Antitrust Laws. Numerous lawsuits have been filed throughout the United States by retail pharmacies against drug manufacturers challenging certain brand drug pricing practices under various state and Federal antitrust laws. Although the Company is not a party to any of these proceedings, its operations are subject to review and scrutiny under those laws. The suits allege, among other things, that the manufacturers have offered, and certain pharmacy benefit managers have knowingly accepted, discounts or rebates on drug purchases that allegedly violate the Federal Robinson-Patman Act in that similar discounts were not available to retail pharmacies. A Federal district court judge in one such suit recently rejected a proposed monetary settlement that required no change in the challenged pricing practices. The parties to that civil suit have agreed to settle the disputes by agreeing to an injunction that meets the court's objections to the previously proposed settlement by prohibiting the defendant drug manufacturers from refusing to offer discounts based solely on the 26 status of the buying entity, and by providing that to the extent that retail pharmacies and retail buying groups can demonstrate an ability to affect market share in the same or similar manner as managed care entities, retailers will be entitled to the same types of discounts given to managed care entities. If the settlement proceeds under its present terms, the availability to the Company of certain discounts, rebates and fees that the Company presently receives in connection with its drug purchasing and formulary administration programs could be adversely affected and the Company could encounter increased competition from pharmacies and pharmacy chains. In addition, the FTC has reportedly recently begun an investigation of the defendants' pricing practices complained of in these cases. In January 1996, the FTC promulgated a proposed consent decree with RxCare and its parent, the Tennessee Pharmacists Association ("TPA"). Under the terms of the consent decree, RxCare and TPA are prohibited from entering into a "most favored nations clause" (under which a participating pharmacy that accepts a lower reimbursement rate than offered by RxCare must reduce their charges to RxCare) with any pharmacy or from suggesting or assisting any other person to do so. The FTC contends that such clause had the effect of increasing prices charged by pharmacists to purchasers of prescription drugs in Tennessee because the preponderance of pharmacies in Tennessee are members of RxCare and because RxCare accounted for a substantial portion of drug purchases from each pharmacy. Because the FTC justified its challenge and the decree, in part, on RxCare's potential market power in Tennessee, business arrangements and practices involving RxCare, either directly or indirectly, or involving sales to or purchases by RxCare-affiliated pharmacies may face heightened scrutiny or continued review from an anti-competitive perspective by state or Federal regulators and possible challenge by private parties. The existence of this consent order therefore may hamper the Company's effort to develop or pursue competitive opportunities, in Tennessee or elsewhere, in areas such as group purchasing or market advocacy on behalf of drug manufacturers. Prolonged proceedings involving regulatory or private party challenges to the Company's activities would be costly to the Company and divert its resources, including key personnel. An adverse determination in such a proceeding could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Drug Distribution Laws. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act generally regulates the introduction, manufacture, advertising, labeling, packaging, storage, handling, marketing and distribution of, and recordkeeping for, pharmaceuticals shipped in interstate commerce. The Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987 amended the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and established certain requirements applicable to the wholesale distribution of prescription drugs, including the requirement that wholesale drug distributors be registered with the Secretary of Health and Human Services or licensed by each state in which they conduct business in accordance with federally established guidelines on storage, handling and records maintenance. If the Company distributes pharmaceutical products, it will be subject to inspection by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and will be required to maintain licenses and permits under the laws of the states in which it operates. Failure by the Company of an FDA inspection or to comply with any of the foregoing laws, licenses, permits or other requirements could result in a suspension of one or more of its operations and in penalties, which could have a material adverse affect on the Company. State Regulation. Many states have statutes and regulations that do or may impact the provision of pharmacy benefits. In some states, pharmacy benefit managers may be subject to regulation under insurance laws or laws licensing HMOs and other managed care organizations, in which event requirements could include the maintenance of reserves, required filings with regulatory agencies, and compliance with disclosure requirements and other regulation of the Company's operations. A number of states have laws designed to restrict limitations on the consumer's choice of pharmacies. Some states require that the benefits of discounts negotiated by managed care organizations be passed along to consumers in proportionate reductions of co-payments. Some states require that pharmacies be permitted to participate in provider networks if they are willing to comply with network requirements. Other states require pharmacy benefit managers to follow certain prescribed procedures in establishing a network and admitting and terminating its members. Many states require that Medicaid obtain the lowest prices from a pharmacy, which may limit the Company's ability to reduce the prices it pays for drugs below Medicaid prices. States have a variety of laws regulating pharmacists' ability to switch prescribed drugs, which could impede the Company's business strategy. 27 ERISA. If the Company were determined to be a fiduciary under ERISA because it was found to have discretionary responsibility for part or all of a group health plan's administration, or because it was found to exercise authority or control over the management or disposition of the plan's assets, the Company could be restricted from commercial activities and relationships with pharmacies, drug manufacturers and others deemed to conflict with its fiduciary duties to plan members under ERISA statutes and regulations. Violation of ERISA may result in substantial civil penalties and damage awards to affected plan beneficiaries. LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS On March 5, 1996, the Company was added as a third-party defendant in a proceeding in the Superior Court of the State of Rhode Island. The third-party plaintiffs, Medical Marketing Group, Inc. ("MMG"), PPI Holding, Inc. ("PPI Holding") and Payer Prescribing Information, Inc. ("PPI"), allege that the Company employed E. David Corvese, the Company's Vice Chairman, with knowledge of covenants not to compete in effect between Mr. Corvese and PPI, PPI Holding and MMG that prevent Mr. Corvese from competing in the area of the collection, analysis or marketing of data for the pharmaceutical or health care industries relating to physician practice demographics and the influence of managed care plans. The complaint alleges that the Company interfered with the contractual relationship between the parties and that it misappropriated MMG's and PPI's confidential information through its employment of Mr. Corvese. The complaint seeks to enjoin the Company from using confidential information allegedly misappropriated from MMG and PPI and seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory and consequential damages, interest and attorneys' fees. The Company and Mr. Corvese believe the claim is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against it; however, the loss of this litigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its operations. Since January 1996, RxCare has been under audit by the Division of State Audit (Department of Audit of the Comptroller of the Treasury) of the State of Tennessee regarding its operations. The Company believes that this audit, which is expected to last several more months, has not uncovered any improprieties or illegality in RxCare's operations, and the Company believes that RxCare has not engaged in any improper or illegal activities. However, any restrictions on the business activities of RxCare arising from any adverse audit findings could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its operations. FACILITIES AND EMPLOYEES The Company's corporate headquarters are located in approximately 9,500 square feet of leased office space in Pearl River, New York. For its operational needs, the Company leases approximately 24,000 square feet of office space in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, approximately 5,000 square feet in Nashville, Tennessee and approximately 1,850 square feet in Memphis, Tennessee. The Company believes that its facilities, while currently adequate, will need to be augmented as additional headquarters staff are added. The addition of new pharmacy benefit management business, if obtained, may require additional local facilities to support effective delivery by the Company of its programs and services. At May 31, 1996, the Company employed a total of 74 people, 17 of whom are licensed pharmacists. The Company's employees are not represented by any union, and, in the opinion of management, the Company enjoys good relations with its employees. 28 MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS The Board of Directors currently consists of five members.

See "Certain Transactions--The Formation." 32 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS In May 1996, Messrs. Klein, Corvese, Friedman and Palmieri entered into executive employment agreements with the Company which provide for initial base salaries at annualized rates of $325,000, $325,000, $275,000 and $210,000, respectively, and certain fringe benefits including automobile and life insurance allowances. Such executives are also eligible to participate in an executive bonus program for senior executive officers. The term of employment is four years, subject to earlier termination by either party. If employment is terminated early due to disability, or by the Company without cause, or by the executive with cause, the Company is obligated to continue to pay his salary and provide fringe benefits for twelve months following termination. During the term of employment and for one year after the later of termination of severance payments (unless the Company terminates the executive without cause) or employment, the executive may not, directly or indirectly, participate in the United States (other than with the Company) in the pharmacy benefit management business, any business then being engaged in by the Company or any component of any such business, nor may the executive induce any customers to take actions disadvantageous to the Company. Mr. Krupski entered into a three-year employment agreement with Pro-Mark in April 1995 which provides for an initial annual base salary of $175,000 and certain fringe benefits. In addition, Mr. Krupski will be eligible for incentive compensation or performance bonuses, not exceeding the sum of $25,000 in any calendar year, as determined by Pro-Mark's Board of Directors. During the term of his employment by Pro-Mark and for one year thereafter, Mr. Krupski may not, directly or indirectly, interfere with any business relationship between Pro-Mark and its employees, customers, suppliers or other business associates, or own, operate, or participate in the ownership or operation of, or in any manner be connected with, any business the principal activity of which is in competition with the pharmacy benefit management and consulting business or any other present or planned business of Pro-Mark or any of its subsidiaries. If Pro-Mark terminates Mr. Krupski's employment as a result of his disability or his unsatisfactory performance of his duties, Pro- Mark is obligated to pay him an amount equal to his base salary for a period of six months, with fringe benefits. Dr. Ryan entered into a three-year employment agreement with Pro-Mark effective April 1994 which provides for an initial annual base salary of $96,000 and certain fringe benefits. In March 1996, Dr. Ryan's annual base salary was increased to $125,000. In addition, Dr. Ryan will be eligible for incentive compensation or performance bonuses as determined by Pro-Mark's Board of Directors. During the term of his employment by Pro-Mark and for up to one year thereafter, Dr. Ryan may not, directly or indirectly, interfere with any business relationship between Pro-Mark and its employees, customers or suppliers or own, operate, or participate in the ownership or operation of, or in any manner be connected with, any business which is in competition with the drug benefit plan marketing and consulting business or any other present or planned business of Pro-Mark or any of its subsidiaries. If Pro-Mark terminates Dr. Ryan's employment as a result of (a) his unsatisfactory performance of his duties or (b) the termination, expiration or modification of government funding for TennCare or of the Federal waiver for TennCare, Pro- Mark is obligated to pay him an amount equal to his base salary for a period of up to three months. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN The Company's 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") was adopted in May 1996 and provides for the grant of either statutory or non-qualified stock options to employees and key contractors of the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock. In connection with the Formation of the Company in May 1996, the Company issued options to purchase an aggregate of 3,003,900 shares of Common Stock under the Plan (of which options to purchase 2,683,400 shares were fully vested at May 31, 1996) at an exercise price of $.0067 per share in exchange for options to purchase shares of Pro-Mark common stock. In May 1996, the Company also granted options to purchase an aggregate of 817,953 shares of Common Stock under the Plan (none of which were vested at May 31, 1996) at an exercise price equal to the initial public offering price of the shares offered in the Offering. Options granted under the Plan vest in full upon a change in control of the Company, and have a term of up to 15 years. All options at the time of original grant were deemed to be at fair market value. 33 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION The Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of directors' fiduciary duty of care. The duty of care requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors must exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Absent the limitations authorized by the Delaware statute, directors could be accountable to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for conduct that does not satisfy their duty of care. Although the statute does not change directors' duty of care, it enables corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission. The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation ("Certificate of Incorporation") limits the liability of the Company's directors to the Company or its stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware statute. Specifically, directors of the Company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (a) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The inclusion of this provision in the Certificate of Incorporation may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited the Company and its stockholders. At present, there is no litigation or proceeding pending involving a director of the Company as to which indemnification is being sought, nor is the Company aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director. The By-laws of the Company also provide for indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. The Company believes the foregoing are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS THE FORMATION MIM Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in March 1996 for the purpose of combining the businesses and operations of Pro-Mark Holdings, Inc. ("Pro- Mark"), a Delaware corporation, and MIM Strategic Marketing, LLC ("MIM Strategic"), a Rhode Island limited liability company (the "Formation"). Immediately prior to the Formation, Pro-Mark was controlled by E. David Corvese, the Vice Chairman and a director of MIM Corporation, and MIM Strategic was controlled by MIM Holdings, LLC ("MIM Holdings"), a Rhode Island limited liability company. The owners of MIM Holdings prior to the Formation were Mr. Corvese and his wife, various trusts for the benefit of their family, and Todd R. Palmieri, currently Executive Vice President--Business Development and a director of MIM Corporation. Prior to the Formation, substantially all of the operations of MIM Corporation were conducted by Pro-Mark. The transactions that occurred in the Formation took place in May 1996 and were as follows: . The stockholders of Pro-Mark transferred their Pro-Mark shares to MIM Corporation in exchange for an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock of MIM Corporation (including an aggregate of 4,455,000 shares to Mr. Corvese), and the holders of options to purchase shares of common stock of Pro-Mark exchanged such options for options to purchase an aggregate of 3,003,900 shares of Common Stock of MIM Corporation (including options to purchase 1,336,950 shares to Mr. Corvese and options for 1,004,250 shares to Mr. Palmieri). . MIM Holdings redeemed a portion of Mr. Corvese's ownership interest in MIM Holdings in exchange for an ownership interest in MIM Strategic, and Mr. Corvese then transferred such ownership interest in MIM Strategic to MIM Corporation in exchange for 905,000 shares of Common Stock of MIM Corporation. 34 . MIM Holdings redeemed all of Mr. Palmieri's ownership interests in MIM Holdings in exchange for an ownership interest in MIM Strategic, and Mr. Palmieri then transferred such ownership interest in MIM Strategic to MIM Corporation in exchange for 195,747 shares of Common Stock of MIM Corporation. . MIM Holdings assigned certain contract rights and transferred all of its remaining ownership interests in MIM Strategic to MIM Corporation in exchange for an aggregate of 2,423,053 shares of Common Stock of MIM Corporation. As a result of the foregoing transactions, Pro-Mark became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MIM Corporation and MIM Strategic became a 90%-owned subsidiary of MIM Corporation, with Zenith Goldline owning the remaining 10% ownership interest in MIM Strategic. Messrs. Corvese and Palmieri and MIM Holdings are each principal stockholders of MIM Corporation. See "Principal Stockholders." RELATIONSHIP OF CERTAIN EXECUTIVE OFFICERS WITH ZENITH GOLDLINE In December 1995, the Company and Zenith Goldline, a major generic drug manufacturer and marketer and a subsidiary of IVAX, formed MIM Strategic for the sole purpose of enhancing the distribution of Zenith Goldline's pharmaceutical products in the State of Tennessee. Zenith Goldline contributed $1,150,000 to MIM Strategic in exchange for its 10% ownership interest in MIM Strategic. In December 1995, the Company entered into agreements to advise and assist Zenith Goldline in the distribution of Zenith Goldline's line of generic and non-prescription pharmaceutical products in the State of Tennessee in return for a fee based on a percentage of the growth in Zenith Goldline's gross margins from the distribution of such products. John H. Klein, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and a director, and Richard H. Friedman, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer and a director, both of whom joined the Company in April 1996, were executive officers of Zenith Goldline at the time the Company entered into the agreements with Zenith Goldline. In January 1996, Mr. Klein and Zenith entered into a termination and consulting agreement, whereby Mr. Klein agreed to continue as an untitled employee of Zenith through December 1996 and to act as a consultant to Zenith and its affiliates from January 1997 through December 1998. Mr. Klein has agreed to devote up to three days per month to Zenith under such agreement, and Zenith has agreed to pay Mr. Klein $400,000 per year through December 1998. Under the agreement, Mr. Klein has agreed that he will not, prior to January 1999, own, manage or be employed by any business or enterprise that is substantially competitive with any material portion of the business of manufacturing or distributing prescription generic drugs as conducted by Zenith or its subsidiaries as of the date of the agreement. Such covenant may restrict the Company's ability to compete in certain areas of the preferred generics business, its planned drug distribution business and certain other business areas. In February 1996, Mr. Friedman and Zenith entered into a termination agreement, whereby Mr. Friedman agreed to continue as an untitled employee of Zenith through December 1996. Mr. Friedman has agreed to work up to three days per month under the agreement, and Zenith has agreed to pay Mr. Friedman an annual salary of $184,000 through December 1996. Mr. Friedman has agreed to a noncompetition covenant similar to that of Mr. Klein's that will be in effect through December 1996. As of May 31, 1996, Messrs. Klein and Friedman held options to purchase an aggregate of 288,150 and 84,955 shares, respectively, of common stock of Zenith's parent, IVAX. Although Messrs. Klein and Friedman intend to devote substantially all of their time to the business and operations of the Company, no assurance can be given that their rights and obligations under the above agreements or their interests in Zenith's parent will not result in or create a conflict of interest with their obligations to the Company. 35 RELATIONSHIP WITH RXCARE In March 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with RxCare agreeing to provide RxCare with a broad range of pharmacy benefit management services with respect to RxCare's TennCare and private pharmaceutical benefit businesses. Under the agreement, the Company shares with RxCare the Company's profit, if any, from such pharmaceutical benefit business. Based on the Company's estimated results of operations for 1994, the Company paid RxCare a profit sharing fee of $473,000 pursuant to the agreement in early 1995. The Company's actual operations for 1994 were subsequently determined not to be profitable. Although the Company does not intend to request repayment of the fee, the Company intends to offset such amount against future profit sharing amounts, if any, due to RxCare under the agreement. Under the agreement, the Company also agreed to pay RxCare $10,000 per month through October 1995 for the use of certain office space and equipment and $20,000 per month thereafter through December 1998. Expenses under this agreement were $100,000, $140,000 and $60,000 during 1994, 1995 and the first quarter of 1996, respectively. The Company believes that the loss of the agreement with RxCare would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. Since January 1994, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of RxCare has been a consultant to the Company. Pursuant to the agreement between the Company and the consultant, the Company has agreed to pay the consultant $5,500 each month, and additional compensation as agreed by the parties for special projects, through December 1996. During 1994, 1995 and the first quarter of 1996, the Company paid the consultant and a related party assignee a total of $516,000 (including $150,000 upon execution of the RxCare agreement), $66,000 and $16,500, respectively, under the agreement. In July 1995, the Company advanced RxCare approximately $1,957,000 to fund the losses RxCare had incurred in connection with one of its pharmacy benefit management contracts that is currently being managed by the Company under the above agreement with RxCare. Although the Company does not intend to seek repayment of the advance, the Company intends to offset such amount against future profit sharing amounts, if any, due to RxCare under the agreement. OTHER TRANSACTIONS In March 1994, a brother of E. David Corvese received a loan of $150,000 from the Company bearing interest at the prime rate, with principal and interest payable upon demand. The loan was secured by his brother's present and future interests in the capital and profits of a subsidiary of the Company. The loan was repaid in 1995. In June 1994, Mr. and Mrs. Corvese received loans from the Company in the aggregate amount of $978,750 bearing interest at 5.42% per annum, with interest payable monthly and principal payable in full on or before June 15, 1997. Indebtedness of $975,000 under the loan is secured by a first mortgage on their principal residence located in Peace Dale, Rhode Island. In August 1994, the Company provided Alchemie Properties, LLC ("Alchemie") with a $299,000 loan bearing interest at 10% per annum, with interest payable monthly and principal payable in full on or before December 1, 2004. Alchemie is a Rhode Island limited liability company of which Mr. Corvese is the manager and the principal owner. The loan is secured by a lien on Alchemie's rental income. In December 1994, MIM Strategic entered into a ten-year lease with Alchemie for approximately 7,200 square feet of office space in Peace Dale, Rhode Island. MIM Strategic paid $5,000, $60,000 and $15,000 in rent for this space during 1994, 1995 and the first quarter of 1996, respectively. MIM Strategic has also expended an aggregate of approximately $480,000 for alterations and leasehold improvements to this space, which upon termination of the lease will accrue to the benefit of Alchemie. In September 1995, MIM Strategic entered into a two-year agreement with MIM Holdings, whereby MIM Holdings agreed to provide management and consulting services to the Company for a fee of $75,000 per month. During 1995 and the first quarter of 1996, MIM Strategic paid MIM Holdings $300,000 and $225,000, respectively, pursuant to the agreement. The agreement was terminated in March 1996. 36 In December 1995, MIM Strategic advanced to MIM Holdings $800,000 for certain consulting services to be performed for MIM Strategic in 1996. During 1995, the Company also paid $278,000 for certain expenses on behalf of MIM Holdings. These amounts, totaling $1,078,000, were recorded as a stockholder note receivable at December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996. The Company has received a note from MIM Holdings guaranteed by Mr. Corvese for $456,000. The note bears interest at 10% per annum, payable quarterly, with principal due on March 31, 2001. The note is further secured by the assignment of two notes due to MIM Holdings from Messrs. Palmieri and Ryan in the aggregate amount of $456,000. The remaining balance of $622,000 will not be repaid and was treated as a stockholder distribution during the first quarter of 1996. In January 1996, MIM Strategic entered into another agreement with MIM Holdings, whereby MIM Holdings agreed to provide to MIM Strategic operational and professional services for a fee of $50,000 per month. MIM Strategic paid MIM Holdings $150,000 under this Agreement during the first quarter of 1996. In connection with the Formation, MIM Holdings assigned such agreement to the Company. The agreement was terminated in May 1996. During the first quarter of 1996, the Company advanced $99,000 and $25,000 to MIM Holdings and Alchemie, respectively, which amounts are to be repaid by September 30, 1996 without interest. Prior to the affiliation of Messrs. Klein, Friedman and Daniels with the Company, the Company primarily was a pharmacy benefit manager providing capitated services to the TennCare Medicaid population of Tennessee. Drawing upon their experience, know-how and relationships in the generic drug and health care industries, the Company has determined to pursue a business strategy that emphasizes the promotion and distribution of generic drugs through exclusive contracts with generic drug manufacturers and the marketing of risk sharing pharmacy benefit programs to sponsors of public and private health plans outside of Tennessee. Negotiations are currently proceeding with a number of generic drug manufacturers and plan sponsors. Management believes that combining the interests of Messrs. Klein, Friedman and Daniels with the interests of the Company has resulted in a business strategy uniquely suited to capitalize on the present and expected conditions in the pharmaceutical and health care industries. Based upon the foregoing, in May 1996 Mr. Corvese granted to Messrs. Klein, Friedman and Daniels options to purchase 1,800,000, 1,500,000 and 300,000 shares of his Common Stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $.10 per share. These options are immediately exercisable and have a term of ten years, subject to earlier termination upon certain mergers or consolidations of the Company or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company ("Change in Control"). Mr. Corvese also granted to Mr. Klein an additional option to purchase 1,860,000 shares of his Common Stock at a price of $.10 per share (the "Option"). The Option has a term of six years, subject to earlier termination (a) upon a Change in Control of the Company, (b) if Mr. Klein's four-year employment agreement with the Company is not renewed by the Company or, if renewed, his employment with the Company does not continue for any reason for an additional 12 months thereafter, or (c) Mr. Klein voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company prior to May 2001. Although the Option is immediately exercisable, Mr. Corvese will have the right to repurchase from Mr. Klein, at a purchase price of $.10 per share, the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Option commencing seven months after the occurrence of an event described in (b) or (c) above, provided that Mr. Corvese's repurchase option will terminate upon a Change in Control of the Company or to the extent the Company achieves certain levels of consolidated net income in any one fiscal year. Mr. Klein has agreed that he will not dispose of any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Option to the extent such shares are or may be subject to Mr. Corvese's repurchase option. In June 1996, Mr. Klein loaned $500,000 to the Company for working capital purposes pursuant to an unsecured, 10% promissory note that is payable upon demand. The Company agreed to pay up to $5,000 of Mr. Klein's expenses incurred in connection with the loan. ---------------- ALL FUTURE TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS AND AFFILIATES WILL BE ON TERMS NO LESS FAVORABLE TO THE COMPANY THAN COULD BE OBTAINED FROM UNAFFILIATED PARTIES AND, TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH TRANSACTIONS ARE NOT IN THE ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS, WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF A MAJORITY OF THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT, DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS. 37 PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS The following table sets forth as of May 31, 1996 the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock by: (i) each person or entity known to the Company to own beneficially five percent or more of the Company's Common Stock; (ii) each of the Company's directors; (iii) the Company's Chief Executive Officer and each other Named Executive Officer; and (iv) all directors and current executive officers of the Company as a group.

(10) See footnotes 3 through 8 above. 38 DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK The authorized capital stock of the Company as stated in the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") consists of 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.0001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.0001 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock"). As of May 31, 1996, 8,023,800 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding and held of record by six stockholders and no shares of Preferred Stock were issued or outstanding. COMMON STOCK Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all the directors standing for election. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Company's Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably the net assets of the Company available for distribution after the payment of, or adequate provision for, all debts and other liabilities of the Company. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption, sinking fund or conversion rights. Immediately upon consummation of the Offering, all of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable by the Company. PREFERRED STOCK Under the terms of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, to issue without stockholder approval up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series. Each such series of Preferred Stock shall have preferences, privileges, restrictions and rights, including voting, dividend, conversion and redemption and liquidation preferences, as shall be determined by the Company's Board of Directors. The purpose of authorizing the Company's Board of Directors to issue Preferred Stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of Preferred Stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company. The Company has no present plans to issue any shares of Preferred Stock. DELAWARE ANTI-TAKEOVER STATUTE Upon consummation of the Offering, the Company will be subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Section 203"). Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, Section 203 prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any "interested stockholder," defined as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person, for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (i) prior to such time, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (ii) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (for the purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding under Delaware law, those shares owned (x) by persons who are directors and also officers and (y) by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer are excluded from the calculation); or (iii) at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written 39 consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. Section 203 defines a business combination to include: (i) any merger or consolidation of the corporation with the interested stockholder; (ii) any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder; (iii) subject to certain exceptions, any transaction which results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; (iv) any transaction involving the corporation which has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or (v) the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. STOCK TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR The stock transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is American Stock Transfer and Trust Company. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have outstanding 12,023,800 shares of Common Stock (assuming no exercise of outstanding stock options under the Plan or the Underwriters' over-allotment option). The 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering (plus any additional shares of Common Stock sold upon exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option) will be freely tradeable without restriction, except for any shares purchased by affiliates of the Company which will be subject to the resale limitations under Rule 144 of the Securities Act and which may also be subject to the agreement with the Underwriters described below. None of the remaining 8,023,800 outstanding shares of Common Stock (collectively, the "restricted shares") have been issued in transactions registered under the Securities Act, which means that they may be resold publicly only in future transactions registered under the Securities Act or in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including the exemption provided by Rule 144 thereunder. Of these restricted shares, 45,000 will be saleable in the public market 90 days following the date of this Prospectus, subject to compliance with Rule 144. Beginning 180 days after the date of this Prospectus (or earlier for certain limited transactions or with the written consent of PaineWebber Incorporated on behalf of the Underwriters), 4,455,000 additional restricted shares will become eligible for sale in the public market upon the expiration of lock-up agreements between the Underwriters and the holders of such shares, subject to compliance with Rule 144. The remaining 3,523,800 restricted shares will become eligible for sale in the public market in December 1997, subject to compliance with Rule 144. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) whose restricted shares have been fully paid for and held for at least two years from the later of the date of issuance by the Company or acquisition from an affiliate, including an "affiliate" as that term is defined under the Securities Act, is entitled to sell, within any three-month period commencing 90 days after the date of this Prospectus, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (approximately 120,000 shares immediately after the Offering, assuming no exercise of outstanding stock options under the Plan or the Underwriters' over-allotment option) or the average weekly trading volume of the Common Stock on all exchanges and/or reported through the automated quotation system of a registered securities association during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the Commission. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about the Company. A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed to have been an "affiliate" of the Company at any time during the 90 days preceding the sale, and whose restricted shares have been fully paid for and held for at least three years from the later of the date of issuance by the Company or acquisition from an affiliate, would be entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144(k) without regard to the limitations described above. Rule 144A under the Securities Act permits the immediate sale by the current holders of restricted shares of all or a portion of their shares to certain qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A, subject to certain conditions. 40 The Commission has proposed to amend the holding periods required by Rule 144 to permit sales of restricted securities after one year rather than two years (and two years rather than three years for non-affiliates who desire to sell such shares under Rule 144(k)). If such proposed amendment were enacted, the restricted securities would become freely tradeable (subject to any applicable contractual restrictions) at correspondingly earlier dates. Upon consummation of the Offering, the Company will have outstanding under the Plan options to purchase an aggregate of 3,821,853 shares of Common Stock, 2,683,400 of which will then be exercisable. Restricted securities, including shares issuable upon exercise of options under the Plan, sold by the Company in reliance on Rule 701 under the Securities Act may be resold 90 days after the date hereof in reliance on Rule 144 by persons who are not affiliates of the Company subject only to the provision of Rule 144 regarding manner of sale, and by persons who are affiliates of the Company without complying with the Rule's holding period requirements. The Company intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register all shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan. The registration statement is expected to be filed approximately 180 days after the date of this Prospectus and is expected to become effective immediately upon filing. Shares covered by that registration statement will be eligible for resale in the public market after the effective date of that registration statement subject to Rule 144 limitations applicable to affiliates, the vesting provisions of each option grant (generally three years) and the lock-up agreements described below, if applicable. Each of the Company's executive officers and directors and MIM Holdings, who upon the closing of the Offering will own an aggregate of 7,978,800 shares of Common Stock and options to purchase 2,341,200 shares of Common Stock, have agreed, except for certain limited exceptions or without the prior written consent of PaineWebber Incorporated, that they will not, directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, grant an option for the sale of, grant a security interest in, or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company beneficially owned by them for a period of 180 days from the date of this Prospectus. See "Underwriting." Prior to the Offering, there has been no market for the Common Stock, and no prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that the sale of shares or the availability of shares for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of the Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Common Stock and may make it more difficult for the Company to sell its equity securities in the future at times and prices which it deems appropriate. 41 UNDERWRITING The Underwriters named below, acting through PaineWebber Incorporated and Dillon, Read & Co. Inc. (the "Representatives"), have severally agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement by and among the Company and the Representatives (the "Underwriting Agreement"), to purchase from the Company, and the Company has agreed to sell to the Underwriters, the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter below:
UNDERWRITER NUMBER OF SHARES ----------- ---------------- PaineWebber Incorporated................................. Dillon, Read & Co. Inc................................... --------- Total................................................ 4,000,000 =========
The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the shares listed above are subject to certain conditions. The Underwriting Agreement also provides that the Underwriters are committed to purchase, and the Company is obligated to sell, all of the shares offered by this Prospectus, if any of the shares being sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement are purchased (without consideration of any shares that may be purchased through the exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option). The Representatives have advised the Company that the Underwriters propose to offer the shares to the public initially at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of $ per share. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession to other dealers not in excess of $ per share. After the initial public offering of the shares, the public offering price, the concessions to selected dealers and the reallowance to other dealers may be changed by the Representatives. The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable during the 45-day period after the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to an additional 600,000 shares of Common Stock at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Underwriters may exercise such option only to cover over- allotments, if any. To the extent the Underwriters exercise such option, each of the Underwriters will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase such percentage of such additional shares of Common Stock as is approximately equal to the percentage of shares that it is obligated to purchase as shown in the table set forth above. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. The Representatives have informed the Company that they do not expect the Underwriters to confirm sales to any account over which they exercise discretionary authority. The Company, the directors and executive officers of the Company and MIM Holdings have agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell, or grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock or warrants or other rights to purchase shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any capital stock or warrants or other rights to purchase shares of capital stock of the Company owned by any of them prior to the expiration of 180 days from the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of PaineWebber Incorporated, except for (a) in the 42 case of the Company, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of options, or the grant of options to purchase shares of Common Stock or restricted stock awards, under the Employee Plan and (b) in the case of the Company's directors and executive officers and MIM Holdings, shares of Common Stock disposed of (i) as bona fide gifts to donees who agree not to sell or otherwise dispose of such Common Stock during the 180-day period following the date of this Prospectus without the prior consent of PaineWebber Incorporated, (ii) pursuant to the laws of testamentary or intestate descent, (iii) pursuant to a final and nonappealable order of a court or other body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) in consideration of the cashless exercise of options under the Plan or to fulfill tax withholding obligations. Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock of the Company. The initial public offering price will be determined pursuant to negotiations between the Company and the Representatives. Among the factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering price, in addition to prevailing market conditions, will be certain financial information of the Company, the history of, and the prospects for, the Company and the industry in which it competes, an assessment of the Company's management, its past and present operations, the prospects for, and timing of, future revenues of the Company, the present state of the Company's development, and the above factors in relation to market values and various valuation measures of other companies engaged in activities similar to the Company. The initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus should not, however, be considered an indication of the actual value of the Common Stock. Such price is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for the Common Stock or that the Common Stock will trade in the public market subsequent to the Offering at or above the initial public offering price. Application has been made to approve the Common Stock for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "MIMS." LEGAL MATTERS Certain legal matters with respect to the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Drinker Biddle & Reath, Princeton, New Jersey. Certain legal matters relating to the Offering will be passed upon for the Underwriters by Cahill Gordon & Reindel (a partnership including a professional corporation), New York, New York.

F-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To MIM Corporation and Subsidiaries: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MIM Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the period from inception (June 22, 1993) through December 31, 1993 and for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MIM Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from inception (June 22, 1993) through December 31, 1993 and for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

F-6 MIM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (INFORMATION AT MARCH 31, 1996 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) NOTE 1--NATURE OF BUSINESS Corporate Organization MIM Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in March 1996 for the purpose of combining the businesses and operations of Pro-Mark Holdings, Inc. ("Pro- Mark"), a Delaware corporation, and MIM Strategic Marketing, LLC ("MIM Strategic"), a Rhode Island limited liability company (the "Formation"). The Formation was effected in May 1996. Previously, Pro-Mark Drug Benefit Management Services, LLC, a Rhode Island limited liability company ("Pro-Mark DBMS"), formed in June 1993 had merged into Pro-Mark in April 1994. Pro-Mark is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MIM Corporation, and MIM Strategic is 90%- owned by MIM Corporation. As used in these notes, the "Company" refers to MIM Corporation and its subsidiaries and predecessors. Prior to the Formation, Pro-Mark DBMS, Pro-Mark and Strategic were controlled by an officer of the Company and his family who collectively hold a direct or indirect controlling interest in MIM Corporation. All of these companies are under common control. The Formation has been accounted for using the carryover basis of accounting, and MIM Corporation's consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Pro-Mark DBMS, Pro-Mark and MIM Strategic for all periods presented. At incorporation, the authorized capital stock of MIM Corporation consisted of 1,500,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. In May 1996, the certificate of incorporation of MIM Corporation was amended and restated to provide for authorized capital stock consisting of 40,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value ("Common Stock"), and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value. In May 1996, 8,023,800 shares of Common Stock were issued in connection with the Formation. In the Formation, MIM Corporation acquired all of the outstanding stock of Pro-Mark and 90% of the ownership and membership interest in MIM Strategic. In exchange, Pro-Mark's stockholders received 150 shares of Common Stock of MIM Corporation for each Pro-Mark share (or an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock), and certain members of MIM Strategic received an aggregate of 3,523,800 shares of Common Stock for their 90% interest in MIM Strategic. Zenith Goldline Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Zenith Goldline"), has held a 10% interest in MIM Strategic since its inception and did not participate in the Formation. In the Formation, outstanding stock options granted by Pro-Mark to employees and key contractors were exchanged for options from MIM Corporation on substantially similar terms (see Note 7). Except as otherwise indicated, all stock and stock option amounts (including share, per share par value and exercise price) pertaining to Pro-Mark DBMS, Pro-Mark and MIM Strategic prior to the Formation have been restated to reflect the equivalent amounts pertaining to Common Stock as if the Formation had already occurred. MIM Strategic was formed in 1995 by MIM Holdings, LLC ("MIM Holdings"), which is controlled by an officer of the Company and his family. MIM Holdings and Zenith Goldline contributed various intangibles and $1,150 in cash, respectively, to the capital of MIM Strategic in exchange for their 90% and 10% interests, respectively, in MIM Strategic. No accounting recognition has been given to the intangibles for financial reporting purposes since their value is not objectively determinable, and the entire $1,150 of capital contributed by Zenith Goldline has been presented as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Profits and losses of MIM Strategic are allocated 90% to the Company and 10% to Zenith Goldline. F-7 MIM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AT MARCH 31, 1996 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) Business The Company's revenues have been derived primarily from agreements to provide pharmacy benefit management services to sponsors of public and private health plans. To date, these services have been provided to sponsors of Tennessee-based plans who have entered into pharmacy benefit management contracts with RxCare of Tennessee, Inc. ("RxCare"), a subsidiary of the Tennessee Pharmacists Association, including contracts ("TennCare contracts") to provide mandated pharmaceutical services to formerly Medicaid-eligible and uninsured and uninsurable Tennessee residents under the State's TennCare Medicaid waiver program ("TennCare"). Under a March 1994 agreement with RxCare, as amended, the Company is responsible for operating and managing RxCare's pharmacy benefit management contracts. In return for receipt of all sponsor payments due RxCare under its pharmacy benefit management contracts and all rebates negotiated with pharmaceutical manufacturers in connection with RxCare programs, the Company implements and enforces the drug benefit programs, bears all program costs including payments to dispensing pharmacies and certain payments to RxCare and sponsors, and shares with RxCare the remaining profit, if any, under the pharmacy benefit management contracts (see Note 2). The Company's contract with RxCare is scheduled to expire in December 1998 unless renewed in accordance with its terms. Although the Company has been providing services to plan sponsors under the RxCare agreement since January 1994, the sponsors have not, when required, formally consented to the Company's provision of such services on behalf of RxCare. The Company markets prescription as well as over-the-counter pharmaceutical products to pharmacies and pharmacy-buying networks. In December 1995, the Company entered into two agreements with Zenith Goldline, a company that manufactures and distributes generic and non-prescription pharmaceutical products, to provide consulting and marketing services to assist Zenith Goldline in marketing and promoting sales of its products and distributing its products in the State of Tennessee. Management Plan and Going Concern Uncertainty The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is subject to risks and difficulties encountered by new businesses, including competition from existing companies offering the same or similar services, lack of financial resources and minimal previous record of operations, earnings or revenues. The Company has incurred net losses from inception and has a stockholders' deficit. In general, the likelihood of the success of the Company must be considered in light of the expenses, difficulties and delays that could reasonably be expected in connection with the early phases of operation of a new business. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company will not continue to incur losses, and the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on obtaining additional financing, through the Company's proposed initial public offering or other sources, in amounts sufficient to satisfy its liabilities as they become due. In management's opinion, the net proceeds from the Company's proposed initial public offering are expected to provide the capital necessary to enable the Company to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company is proposing an initial public offering of up to 4,000,000 shares of its Common Stock. Prospective investors should consider, among other things, the Company's history of losses, its limited operating history, its ability to manage growth, its dependence on the RxCare relationship, risks inherent in its capitated F-8 MIM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AT MARCH 31, 1996 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) agreements and risks associated with Federal and state government regulations. For additional information on these and other factors, see "Risk Factors." NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition Capitated Agreements. Certain pharmacy benefit management contracts are capitated agreements pursuant to which the Company receives a fixed monthly fee for each member enrolled in a particular health plan. In exchange for this fee the Company is obligated to provide certain covered pharmacy services to plan members. Typically, capitated agreements have a one-year term and are subject to automatic renewal unless notice of termination is given. These contracts are subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain events. Capitation payments under TennCare contracts are based upon the latest eligible member data provided by the State of Tennessee. On a monthly basis, the Company receives payments (and recognizes revenue) for those members eligible for the current month, plus or minus capitation amounts for those persons determined to be retroactively eligible or ineligible for prior months under the contract. The amounts for retroactive capitation payments are based upon management's estimates and are included in receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The related receivables at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and March 31, 1996 were approximately $1,733, $1,740 and $3,578, respectively. The related capitated revenue for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 was approximately $93,100 and $192,625, respectively, and for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 was $24,267 and $61,443, respectively. Fee-for-Service Agreements. Certain pharmacy benefit management contracts are fee-for-service agreements pursuant to which the Company is paid by the plan sponsor an amount reflecting the cost of a prescription plus a service fee. Under these contracts, the Company is obligated to pay network pharmacies for pharmacy service provided to plan members only to the extent that the plan sponsor pays the Company for the cost of the service. Service fee revenue is recognized at the time a pharmacy prescription claim is received. The related fee-for-service revenue for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 was approximately $14,072 and $16,525, respectively, and for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 was $4,443 and $3,805, respectively. Receivables. Receivables include amounts due from plan sponsors under the Company's pharmacy benefit management contracts and amounts due from pharmaceutical manufacturers, which represent rebates resulting from the distribution of certain drugs through retail pharmacies. Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue includes pharmacy claims and other direct costs associated with pharmacy management and claims processing operations, offset by fees received from pharmaceutical manufacturers in connection with the Company's drug purchasing and formulary management programs. F-9 MIM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AT MARCH 31, 1996 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) Payables to Plan Sponsors and Others Certain pharmacy benefit management contracts provide for an income or loss share with the plan sponsor. The income or loss share is calculated by deducting all related costs and expenses from revenues earned under the contract. To the extent revenues exceed costs, the Company records a payable representing the plan sponsor's share of the profit attributable to that contract, and to the extent costs exceed revenues the Company records a receivable. Agreements between RxCare and certain plan sponsors also provide for the sharing of pharmaceutical manufacturers' rebates with the plan sponsor. The Company is also obligated to share with RxCare the cumulative profit, if any, under the Company's agreement with RxCare (see Note 3). The Company estimates that any difference between the recorded liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the ultimate exposure under those contract provisions will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements. Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purpose of the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as demand deposits and overnight investments at banks. Property and Equipment The Company provides for depreciation and amortization using the straight- line method over the estimated useful lives of assets ranging from three to five years or in the case of leases, over the life of the lease. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Long-Lived Assets During 1995, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 121 requires, among other things, that an entity review its long-lived assets and certain related intangibles for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. As a result of its review, the Company does not believe that any impairment currently exists related to its long- lived assets. Claims Payable The Company is responsible for all covered prescriptions provided to plan members during the contract period. At December 31, 1994 and 1995 and at March 31, 1996, certain prescriptions were dispensed to members for which the related claims had not yet been presented to the Company for payment. Estimates of $2,925, $3,823 and $3,816 at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and at March 31, 1996, respectively, have been accrued for these claims in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Unpaid claims incurred and reported amounted to $7,338, $10,971 and $13,361 at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and at March 31, 1996, respectively. The Company has experienced losses on one of its TennCare contracts since the contract was entered into as of April 1, 1995. Management expects these losses to continue through the contract expiration date of June 30, 1996. The Company had losses under the contract during 1995 of $10,000, including the accrual of approximately $4,500 to cover management's estimate of losses to be incurred under the remainder of this contract; $1,694 of such accrual remained at March 31, 1996. These amounts are included in claims payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. F-10 MIM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AT MARCH 31, 1996 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) Minority Interest The minority interest in MIM Strategic is reflected as a reduction of net loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 utilizes the liability method, and deferred taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at currently enacted tax laws and rates. Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123 requires that an entity account for employee stock compensation under a fair value-based method. However, SFAS 123 also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, entities electing to remain with accounting under APB 25 are required to make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value-based method of accounting under SFAS 123 had been applied. The Company will continue to account for employee stock-based compensation under APB 25 and will make the pro forma disclosures required under SFAS 123. Interim Financial Information The financial statements as of March 31, 1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company's management, the unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Earnings Per Share Net income (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of the common shares contingently issuable from stock options. Common shares outstanding and per share amounts reflect the Formation (see Note 1). F-11 MIM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AT MARCH 31, 1996 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) NOTE 3--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Due to/from Affiliates During 1993 the Company borrowed $38 from a relative of an officer of the Company. The amount was fully repaid in 1994. During 1994 the Company loaned $150 to a relative of an officer of the Company in return for a demand note bearing interest at the prime rate (8.5% at December 31, 1994). At December 31, 1994, accrued interest amounted to approximately $8. The full amount of principal and interest was repaid in 1995. In 1994 the Company made approximately $40 of short-term advances to an officer of the Company. These advances were repaid in full during 1995. During 1995 the Company advanced RxCare approximately $1,957 to fund the losses RxCare had incurred in connection with one of its pharmacy benefit management contracts that is currently being managed by the Company under the Company's agreement with RxCare. Although the Company does not intend to seek repayment of the advance, the Company intends to offset such amount against future profit sharing amounts, if any, due to RxCare under the Company's agreement with RxCare. As RxCare's revenue is largely dependent upon the Company's results of operations in Tennessee, the collectibility of this amount is uncertain, and a full reserve has been recorded against the advance. As part of its agreement with RxCare, the Company is obligated to share with RxCare the Company's cumulative profit, if any, from the RxCare pharmacy benefit management contracts. Based on estimated results of operations for 1994, the Company accrued $473 during 1994, which was included in Payables to Plan Sponsors and Others on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1994 and was paid in 1995. Although actual operations for 1994 were subsequently determined not to be profitable, the Company does not intend to request repayment of the fee but intends to offset such amount against future profit sharing amounts, if any, due to RxCare under the agreement. No amount was due RxCare for the year ended December 31, 1995 or for the three months ended March 31,1996. At March 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding short-term advances to MIM Holdings and Alchemie Properties, LLC ("Alchemie") of $99 and $25, respectively. Amounts due from each entity are scheduled to be repaid by September 30, 1996 without interest. Both companies are controlled by an officer and his family. In June 1996, an executive officer of the Company loaned $500 to the Company for working capital purposes pursuant an unsecured, 10% promissory note that is payable upon demand. Other Activities In 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with RxCare for, among other things, the use of certain office space and equipment provided by RxCare on behalf of the Company. The agreement initially provided for payments of $10 per month and was amended to provide for $20 per month beginning November 1995. The agreement expires in December 1998. Expenses under this agreement were $100 and $140 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $10 and $60 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. In December 1994, the Company entered into a ten-year agreement to lease a facility from Alchemie. The lease provides for monthly payments of $3 plus real estate taxes and condominium association fees. Rent expense was approximately $5 and $60 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $15 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996. The future minimum rental payments under these agreements are included in Note 5 with the Company's other operating leases. F-12 MIM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AT MARCH 31, 1996 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) Consulting and Service Agreements In January 1994, the Company entered into consulting agreements with three minority stockholders of the Company. These agreements expire in 1999 and provide for payments to be made as services are rendered. In 1994, payments of $75 were made to each consultant. No amounts were paid in 1995 or in the three months ended March 31, 1996. In January 1994, the Company entered into a consulting agreement for various marketing, distribution and promotional services with an officer of RxCare, which provides for payments by the Company of $5.5 per month through December 1996. The Company paid a total of $516 in 1994 (including $150 upon execution of the RxCare agreement), $66 in 1995 and $16.5 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, to the officer and a related party assignee. In September 1995, the Company entered into a contract with MIM Holdings to receive management consulting services in return for monthly payments to MIM Holdings of $75. Consulting expenses amounted to $300 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and $225 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The contract was terminated on March 31, 1996. A professional services agreement was entered into as of January 1, 1996 between MIM Holdings and the Company. Under this agreement, MIM Holdings provides to the Company operational professional services required to perform the Company's obligations under a Marketing Services Agreement with Zenith Goldline (see Note 1), for which the Company paid MIM Holdings $150 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The agreement was terminated in May 1996. Stockholder Notes Receivable In June 1994, the Company advanced to an officer approximately $979 for purposes of acquiring a principal residence, $975 of which is collateralized by a mortgage on the residence. In exchange for the funds, the Company received two promissory notes, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of which was $979 at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and $943 at March 31, 1996. The notes are due on June 15, 1997 and bear interest at 5.42% per annum payable monthly. Interest income on the notes for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 was $29 and $55, respectively, and $13 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996. In August 1994, the Company advanced to Alchemie $299 for the purposes of acquiring the building leased by the Company, of which approximately $299, $280 and $280 was outstanding at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and March 31, 1996, respectively. The note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum with principal due on December 1, 2004. Interest income was $12 and $29 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $7 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996. The note is secured by a lien on Alchemie's rental income. In December 1995, the Company advanced to MIM Holdings $800 for certain consulting services to be performed for the Company in 1996. During 1995, the Company also paid $278 for certain expenses on behalf of MIM Holdings. These amounts, totaling $1,078, have been recorded as a stockholder note receivable at December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996. The Company has received a note from MIM Holdings guaranteed by an officer of the Company for $456. The note bears interest at 10% per annum, payable quarterly, with principal due on March 31, 2001. The note is further secured by the assignment of two notes due to MIM Holdings also in the amount of $456. The remaining balance of $622 will not be repaid and was treated as a stockholder distribution during the first quarter of 1996.

NOTE 5--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings The Company from time to time is involved in legal proceedings in the normal course of business. The Company is currently a third-party defendant in a proceeding in the Superior Court in the State of Rhode Island. The third-party complaint alleges that the Company interfered with certain contractual relationships and that it misappropriated certain confidential information. The third-party complaint seeks to enjoin the Company from using the allegedly misappropriated confidential information and seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory and consequential damages, interest and attorneys' fees. Although the Company believes that the third-party plaintiffs' allegations are without merit, the loss of this litigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. Government Regulation The Company's current and planned businesses are subject to extensive Federal and state laws and regulations. Subject to certain exceptions, Federal law (the "Federal Anti-Kickback Statute") prohibits the payment or receipt of any remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce, arrange for or recommend the purchase of health care items or services paid for in whole or in part by the Medicare or state health care programs (including Medicaid and TennCare), and certain state laws (although not those of Tennessee) contain similar provisions that may extend the prohibition to cover items or services that are paid for by private insurance and self-pay patients. There can be no assurance that some of the Company's practices will be found to be protected by certain so-called "safe harbor" regulations, which provide insulation from prosecution under the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, and in some instances it is clear that they are not so protected. Federal authorities enforcing the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute have issued Fraud Alerts describing suspect activity and have initiated enforcement proceedings involving practices that have similar features to some of the practices of the Company. In January 1996, the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") promulgated a proposed consent decree with RxCare and its parent, the Tennessee Pharmacists Association, prohibiting certain allegedly anti-competitive practices. Because the FTC justified its challenge and the decree, in part, on RxCare's potential market power in Tennessee, business arrangements and practices involving RxCare, either directly or indirectly, or involving sales to or purchases by RxCare-affiliated pharmacies may face heightened scrutiny or continued review from an F-14 MIM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AT MARCH 31, 1996 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) anti-competitive perspective by state or Federal regulators and possible challenge by private parties. The existence of this consent order may hamper the Company's efforts to develop or pursue competitive opportunities, in Tennessee or elsewhere, in areas such as group purchasing or market advocacy on behalf of drug manufacturers. Prolonged proceedings involving regulatory or private party challenges to the Company's activities would be costly to the Company and divert its resources, including key personnel. An adverse determination in such a proceeding could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. The Company is also subject to various false claims laws, drug distribution laws and consumer protection laws and may be subject to certain other laws, including ERISA and various state insurance laws. While management believes that the Company is in compliance with all existing laws and regulations material to the operation of its business, many of the laws affecting it are uncertain in their application and are subject to interpretation and change. As controversies continue to arise in this area, for example, regarding the efforts of plan sponsors and pharmacy benefit managers to limit formularies, alter drug choice and establish limited networks of participating pharmacies, Federal and state regulation and enforcement priorities in this area can be expected to increase, the impact of which on the Company cannot be predicted. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to scrutiny or challenge under one or more of these laws or that any such challenge would not be successful. Any such challenge, whether or not successful, could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's financial position and results of operations. Violation of the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, for example, may result in substantial criminal penalties, as well as exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid (including TennCare) programs. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain any of the regulatory approvals that may be required to operate its business, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. Non-Compete Covenants The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, both former executives of Zenith Laboratories, Inc. ("Zenith"), agreed to continue in consultant and employment capacities with Zenith through December 1998 and December 1996, respectively. In connection with these agreements, both executives agreed not to own, manage or be employed by any business that is substantially competitive with Zenith's business as conducted in early 1996. Such covenants expire at the end of December 1998 and December 1996, respectively. Such covenants may restrict the Company's ability to compete in certain areas of the Company's preferred generics business, its planned drug distribution business and certain other business areas. Employment Agreements The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain key employees which expire at various dates through May 2000. Total minimum commitments under these agreements are approximately as follows: 1996.................................. $1,100 1997.................................. 1,500 1998.................................. 1,300 1999.................................. 1,200 2000.................................. 500 ------ $5,600 ======

As discussed in Note 3, the Company rents its main facility from Alchemie. Rent expense for non-related party leased facilities and equipment was approximately $95 and $116 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and $31 and $34 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Operating Leases The Company leases its facilities and certain equipment under various operating leases. The future minimum lease payments under these operating leases are as follows:
AMOUNT ------ 1996............................................................... $ 95 1997............................................................... 64 1998............................................................... 51 1999............................................................... 48 2000............................................................... 45 Thereafter......................................................... 160 ---- $463 ====

NOTE 6--INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109. Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by currently enacted tax laws and rates. Deferred income tax expenses and credits are based on changes in the deferred assets and liabilities from period to period. F-16 MIM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AT MARCH 31, 1996 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) The effect of temporary differences which give rise to a significant portion of deferred taxes are as follows as of December 31, 1994 and 1995:
1994 1995 ------ ------- Deferred tax assets: Reserves and accruals not yet deductible for tax purpos- es..................................................... $ 872 $ 2,952 Net operating loss carryforward......................... 432 783 ------ ------- Subtotal.............................................. 1,304 3,735 Less: valuation allowance..............................

(378) 0 Property basis differences.............................. (4) (66) ------ ------- Total deferred tax liability.............................. (382) (66) ------ ------- Net deferred taxes........................................ $ -- $ -- ====== =======
It is uncertain whether the Company will realize full benefit from its deferred tax assets, and it has therefore recorded a valuation allowance. The Company will assess the need for the valuation allowance at each balance sheet date. There is no provision (benefit) for income taxes for the period from inception (June 22, 1993) through December 31, 1993 or for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995. A reconciliation to the tax provision (benefit) at the Federal statutory rate is presented below:

(17) 75 2 ---- ----- ------- Recorded income taxes.................................... $ -- $ -- $ -- ==== ===== =======
At December 31, 1995, the Company had, for tax purposes, unused net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,900 that are available to offset future taxable income, if any, and which will begin expiring in 2008. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions that limit the net operating loss carryforwards available to be used in any given year upon the occurrence of certain events, including significant changes in ownership. NOTE 7--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY In 1994, Pro-Mark established the Pro-Mark Holdings 1994 Stock Plan (the "Pro-Mark Plan"). The Pro-Mark Plan provided for, among other awards, options to employees, contractors and consultants to purchase 60,000 shares of Pro- Mark common stock at an option price not less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the grant date. The period during which an option may be exercised varied, but no option could be exercised after 15 years from the date of grant. During 1994, options to purchase 3,738 shares of common stock were granted at $1.00 per share (560,700 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $0.0067 per share as a F-17 MIM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AT MARCH 31, 1996 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) result of the Formation--see Note 1). On January 1, 1995, March 24, 1995, March 31, 1995 and October 9, 1995, options to purchase 50, 1,300, 15,108 and 50 shares of common stock, respectively, were granted at $1.00 per share (a total of 2,476,200 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $0.0067 per share as a result of the Formation--see Note 1). All of such options were deemed to have been granted at fair market value and were exchanged in the Formation for options under the Company's Plan (as defined below). In May 1996, the Company adopted the MIM Corporation 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options (ISOs) and non-qualified stock options to employees and key contractors of the Company. Options granted under the Plan generally vest over a three-year period, but vest in full upon a change in control of the Company or at the discretion of the Company's compensation committee, and generally are exercisable up to 15 years from the date of grant. The exercise price of ISOs granted under the Plan will not be less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant (110% for ISOs granted to more than a 10% shareholder). If non-qualified stock options are granted at an exercise price less than fair market value on the grant date, the amount by which fair market value exceeds the exercise price will be charged to compensation expense over the period the options vest. A reserve of 4,000,000 shares has been established for issuances under the Plan. In May 1996, options to purchase 817,953 shares of Common Stock were granted at a price that will equal the initial public offering price. At May 31, 1996, 178,147 shares remain available for grant under the Plan. No options were exercisable at December 31, 1994. As of December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, the exercisable portion of outstanding options was 2,442,100 and 2,509,600, respectively. Stock option activity under the Plan through March 31, 1996 is as follows:
OPTIONS PRICE --------- ------- Balance, December 31, 1993................................... -- -- Granted.................................................... 560,700 $0.0067 Canceled................................................... (8,400) --------- Balance, December 31, 1994................................... 552,300 $0.0067 Granted.................................................... 2,476,200 $0.0067 Canceled...................................................

Other Stockholder Activities Prior to the affiliation of three unrelated individuals with the Company (each of whom became directors of the Company and two of whom also became officers of the Company), the Company primarily was a pharmacy benefit manager providing capitated services to the TennCare Medicaid population of Tennessee. Drawing upon their experience, know-how and relationships in the generic drug and health care industries, the Company has determined to pursue a business strategy that emphasizes the promotion and distribution of generic drugs through exclusive contracts with generic drug manufacturers and the marketing of risk sharing pharmacy benefit programs to sponsors of public and private health plans outside of Tennessee. Negotiations are currently proceeding with a number of generic drug manufacturers and plan sponsors. Management believes that combining the interests of these individuals with the interests of the Company has resulted in a business strategy uniquely suited to capitalize on the present and expected conditions in the pharmaceutical and health care industries. Based upon the foregoing, in May 1996 the majority stockholder of the Company granted to these individuals options to purchase an aggregate of 3,600,000 shares of Common Stock owned by him at $0.10 per F-18 MIM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (INFORMATION AT MARCH 31, 1996 AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) share. These options are immediately exercisable and have a term of ten years, subject to earlier termination upon a change in control of the Company, as defined. In addition, the majority stockholder granted to one of these individuals an additional option ("additional option") to purchase 1,860,000 shares of Common Stock owned by him at $0.10 per share. The additional option has a term of six years, subject to earlier termination (a) upon a change in control of the Company, as defined, (b) non-renewal of his employment contract, as defined, or (c) voluntary termination of employment prior to May 2001. Although the additional option is immediately exercisable, the majority stockholder will have the right to repurchase from this individual, at a price of $0.10 per share, Common Stock issued upon exercise of the additional option commencing seven months after the occurrence of an event described in (b) or (c) above, provided that the repurchase option will terminate upon a change in control of the Company, as defined, or to the extent the Company achieves certain levels of consolidated net income in any one fiscal year. NOTE 8--CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The majority of the Company's revenue have been derived from TennCare contracts pursuant to its contract with RxCare. For the year ended December 31, 1994, gross revenue from the three largest TennCare contracts totaled approximately $95,727 representing approximately 88% of total revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 1995, gross revenue from the three largest TennCare contracts totaled approximately $24,948 representing approximately 85% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1996, gross revenue from the two largest TennCare contracts totaled approximately $159,409 and $53,894 representing approximately 75% and 81% of total revenue, respectively. Receivables on these contracts was approximately $5,801, $5,116 and $4,516 at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and March 31, 1996, respectively. There were no other contracts representing 10% or more of the Company's total revenue for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996. There were no TennCare contracts in place in 1993. It is possible that the State of Tennessee or the Federal government could require modifications to the TennCare program. The Company is unable to predict the effect of any such future changes to the TennCare program. NOTE 9--PROFIT SHARING PLAN The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the plan, employees may elect to defer up to 15% of their salary, subject to Internal Revenue Service limits. The Company may make a discretionary match. The Company made no matching contributions during the period from inception (June 22, 1993) through December 31, 1993, the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 or the three months ended March 31, 1996.

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant provides as follows: A director of the Corporation shall have no personal liability to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except to the extent that Section 102(b)(7) (or any successor provision) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, expressly provides that the liability of a director may not be eliminated or limited. The Registrant's By-Laws generally require the Registrant to indemnify directors and officers to the full extent permissible under Delaware law. Reference is also made to the indemnification provisions of the Underwriting Agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1 to this Registration Statement and to the second undertaking contained in Item 17 of this Registration Statement. ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in March 1996 for the purpose of combining the businesses and operations of Pro-Mark and MIM Strategic. In connection therewith, the following transactions occurred in May 1996: -- All of the stockholders of Pro-Mark, consisting of E. David Corvese, the Company's Vice Chairman and a director, and three other employees of Pro-Mark, transferred all of their Pro-Mark shares to the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, and all of the holders of options to purchase shares of common stock of Pro-Mark exchanged such options for options to purchase an aggregate of 3,003,900 shares of Common Stock of the Company; -- Mr. Corvese transferred a portion of his ownership interest in MIM Strategic to the Company in exchange for 905,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company; -- Todd R. Palmieri, the Company's Executive Vice President--Business Development and a director, transferred all of his ownership interests in MIM Strategic to the Company in exchange for 195,747 shares of Common Stock of the Company; and -- MIM Holdings, LLC, a Rhode Island limited liability company, the principal owners of which are Mr. Corvese, his wife and various trusts for the benefit of their family, assigned certain of its contract rights II-1 and transferred all of its ownership interests in MIM Strategic to the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 2,423,053 shares of Common Stock of the Company. The foregoing transactions were made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. In May 1996, the Company issued options to purchase an aggregate of 817,953 shares of Common Stock to certain of its employees and key contractors pursuant to the Company's 1996 Stock Incentive Plan. Such issuances were made without consideration and did not constitute sales of a security within the meaning of the Securities Act or, alternatively, were made pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or Rule 701 of the Securities Act.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the contractual and By-Law provisions described in Item 14 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, II-3 unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that: (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective. (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                                MIM CORPORATION


          THE UNDERSIGNED, for the purpose of amending and restating the
certificate of incorporation of MIM Corporation, the original certificate of
incorporation of which was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on
March 22, 1996,  does hereby certify as follows:

          FIRST: The name of the Corporation is MIM Corporation.

          SECOND:  The address of the Corporation's registered office in the
State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, in the the City of Wilmington, County
of New Castle.  The name of its registered agent at such address is The
Corporation Trust Company.

          THIRD:  The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act
or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General
Corporation Law of Delaware.

          FOURTH:  The total number of shares of capital stock which the
Corporation shall have authority to issue is forty-five million (45,000,000)
shares, par value one-one hundredth of a cent ($.0001) per share, of which forty
million (40,000,000) shares are designated as Common Stock and five million
(5,000,000) shares are designated as Preferred Stock.

          FIFTH:  The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to limitations
prescribed by law and the provisions of Article FOURTH, to provide for the
issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in series, and by filing a certificate
pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation law, to establish from time to time
the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the designation,
powers, preferences, and relative rights of each such series and the
qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof.  Each class or series
shall be appropriately designated by a distinguishing designation prior to the
issuance of any shares thereof.  The Preferred Stock of all series shall have
powers, preferences and relative rights and shall be subject to qualifications,
limitations and restrictions identical with those of other shares of the same
series and, except to the extent otherwise provided in the description of the
series, with those of shares of other series of the same class.

          SIXTH:  In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred
by statute, the Board of Directors of the Corporation is expressly authorized to
make, alter or repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation except as otherwise
specifically provided therein.

 
          SEVENTH:  Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the
Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the
Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable
jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary
way of the Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the
application of any receiver or receivers appointed by the Corporation under the
provisions of Ssection 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application
of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for the
Corporation under the provisions of Sesction 279 of the Delaware Code, order a
meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or
class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in
such manner as the said court directs.  If a majority in number representing
three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the
stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be,
agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of the
Corporation as consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said
compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by
the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the
creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of
stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, and also on the
Corporation.

          EIGHTH:  A director of the Corporation shall have no personal
liability to the Corporation or to its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director except to the extent that Section
102(b)(7) (or any successor or additional provision) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, expressly provides that the
liability of a director may not be eliminated or limited.

          The Corporation not having received any payment for any of its stock,
the above amendment and restatement was duly adopted in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 141(f), 241 and 245 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law by written unanimous consent of the directors of the Corporation.

         Dated:  May 24, 1996.

Incorporation, each stockholder shall at every meeting of stockholders be

outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be
necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares
entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the

                         -----------------------                      
Corporation shall be managed under the direction of its Board of Directors,

provided for special meetings of the Board of Directors, or as shall be
specified in a written waiver signed by the directors, if any, not attending and
participating in the meeting.

          Section 3.07.  Regular Meetings.  Regular meetings of the Board of
                         ----------------                                   
Directors may be held without notice at such time and place as shall from time
to time be determined by the Board.

attorneys' fees, based upon or arising out of any breach or violation by RxCare
of any representations or warranties set forth in Section 4 hereof or based upon
any negligent or wilful act by RxCare or a Participating Pharmacy.

     11.  BCBST's Right to Make Enrollee Payments Directly to PCS.  In the event
          -------------------------------------------------------               
PCS notifies BCBST and RxCare that it is exercising its rights pursuant to the
PCS agreement with BCBST which is approved and agreed to by RxCare, dated
______________, BCBST shall have the right to make any payments due pursuant to
Section 5 hereof directly to PCS.

     12.  Dispute Resolution.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
          ------------------                                                  
in the event that a dispute arises between the parties involving a contention by
one party that the other party had failed to perform its obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement or the TennCare Plan of BCBST, the
complaining party shall promptly give written notice to the other party.  Such
notice shall set forth in detail, the basis for the

                                      -12-

 
complaining party's contention.  The responding party shall have thirty (30)
days within which to satisfy the complaining party regarding the matter as to
which notice was given.  Following such thirty (30) day period, if the
complaining party remains dissatisfied, it shall so notify the responding party
and matter shall be promptly submitted to arbitration.  In the event of such
arbitration, three arbitrators shall be selected, with one arbitrator to be
selected by each of the parties and one arbitrator to be selected by agreement
of the two arbitrators chosen by the parties.  The arbitrators so selected shall
act by majority vote.  Each party shall be responsible for any and all legal
fees incurred by such party in connection with any dispute arising under this
Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the appeals process established by
BCBST shall be the sole remedy with respect to any problems or disputes
involving denial of appointment or reappointment as a Provider and any such
problems or disputes shall not be subject to this Section.  Further, the appeals
process established under the Utilization Management Policy or Quality
Monitoring Program shall be the sole remedy with respect to any problems or
disputes involving determinations made pursuant to the Utilization Management
Policy or Quality Monitoring Program and any such problems or disputes shall not
be subject to this Section 12.

     13.  Annual Reappointment.  RxCare agrees to be subject to the annual

requested by BCBST in connections with such reappointment.  Under the terms of
such reappointment policy, BCBST may notify RxCare in writing sixty (60) days
prior to the expiration of each one year term of this Agreement of RxCare's
option to apply for reappointment for an additional one year term.  If BCBST
does not notify RxCare of such option at least sixty (60) days prior to the
expiration of the term of this Agreement, the Agreement shall be automatically
renewed for an additional one (1) year term, unless otherwise terminated in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          i.   BCBST may, at BCBST's sole election, terminate this Agreement at
any time with or without cause if any action of RxCare taken under this

     16.  Legal Defense and Hold Harmless.  The defense of any legal action

obligation of BCBST.  BCBST shall not be responsible for any expenses including,
without limitation, attorney's fees, cost and necessary disbursements, in
connection with any such legal action against RxCare or a Participating
Pharmacy.  BCBST shall, however, fully cooperate with RxCare or the

                                   EXHIBIT A

                             Compensation Schedule


1.   BCBST agrees to pay RxCare a capitation fee of [*] ("Agreed to Price") per
member per month for 1995, for all Covered Services furnished hereunder,
including, without limitation:

     a.   All Covered Services furnished to Enrollees by Participating
Pharmacies.

     b.   All Covered Services furnished to Enrollees by participating Health
Departments.

     c.   All administrative services furnished by RxCare related to, without
limitation, network management and support, and conduct of utilization review,
quality assurance and member grievance programs.

2.   Clarification of Calculation of Fee:  The following are items discussed and
     ------------------------------------                                       
agreed to between the parties have been agreed to clarify certain issues
regarding the fees being charged and the calculations being made under this
Agreement:

     a.   April - May 1995

     For this interim period, BCBST will pay RxCare capitation for the Long Term
     Care ("LTC") claims.  Since BCBST will still be processing ambulatory
     claims, BCBST will not actually pay the capitation to RxCare.  However, the
     capitation arrangement is still effective for both LTC and ambulatory
     claims as of 4/1/95.  A settlement will be performed.  Dates for interim
     and final settlements for claims incurred before 6/1/95 will be made on or
     before 9/30/95, for interim settlement and 11/30/95 for final settlement.

     After 6/1/95, the capitation rate will be a blended rate of $[*] PMPM less
     than the 1994 paid amount (incurred in 1994, paid through 6/30/95 less
     carve outs with an IBNR adjustment) for both LTC and ambulatory claims.
     However, since the LTC claims expenses are higher, RxCare requests that
     BCBST pay a higher rate for these enrollees for these two months so that
     they can cover the cost of claims (about $[*] PMPM).  Then, BCBST will
     settle this pro rata when BCBST pays the capitation amount in July, August
     and September of 1995.

 
     b.   June 1995 forward

     An interim rate will be calculated using paid data for 1994.  This rate
     will be adjusted after 6/30/95 when BCBST has six months run out for 1994
     claims.  After 6/30/95 the parties agree to use actual paid for 1994 less
     carve outs and adjust for an IBNR factor.  (Again, RxCare agreed to use the
     BCBST IBNR calculation if BCBST provides support for the calculation).
     With this June payment, BCBST will adjust the total capitation amount to
     account for the excess capitation paid in April and May for the LTC
     enrollees.

     c.   Enrollee Counts
          ---------------

     BCBST's Information Systems Department will get a LTC enrollment count for
     January - March 1995.  This count will be used for the period of April and
     May when BCBST will pay RxCare a capitation for the LTC claims.

     d.   Starting with the first full capitation payment in June 1995, RxCare
          requests they be paid based on cumulative  member months.  The
          following matrix illustrates this methodology for both LTC and
          Ambulatory Care:

Month 1 Month 2 Total ------- ------- ----- Month 1 500,000 500,000 x $10 = $ 5,000,000 Month 2 1,000 502,000 1,003,000 x $10 = $10,030,000 Less amount paid in Month 1 5,000,000 ----------- Amount Owed for month 2 $ 5,030,000
Note: For the month of June we will subtract the payments made for April and May for the LTC capitation when calculating the amount owed for June. The above methodology will be based on a 12 month rolling average (for example, each month we will update changes in enrollment for the previous 12 month period). These enrollment counts will need to be "snapshot" enrollments for each month since BCBST does not currently have the capability to calculate daily enrollment. If in the future BCBST is able to calculate daily enrollment changes, this procedure may be examined again. 3. BCBST agrees RxCare will be entitled to retain [*] percent ([*] %) of any rebate dollars collected under any manufacturer's volume discount programs. 4. If during the term of this Agreement, the actual costs of Covered Services per member per month are less than the Agreed to Price per member per month, RxCare will retain all savings that are between the Agreed to Price per member per month and [*] -2- ($[*]) Dollars per member per month. All savings resulting from the costs of Covered Services being less than [*] Dollars ($[*]) per member per month will be distributed: [*] percent ([*]%) to RxCare, [*] percent ([*]%) to BCBST. 5. Annual Settlement. If necessary an annual settlement will be paid in cash ----------------- or check and will be made within one hundred-eighty (180) days following March 11, 1996, and each March 31st thereafter. 6. Final Settlement. A final settlement will be paid in cash or check and ---------------- will be made within one hundred eighty (180) days following the termination of this Agreement. 7. The cost of products identified below are specifically excluded from Covered Services, and will be reimbursed by BCBST, if appropriate, under other programs and/or other means: - diabetic supplies - durable medical equipment - psychotropic drugs (Clozaril, Risperdal, and others that may be added with mutual agreement which will be a financial obligation of the Nervous and Mental care payor.) - drugs authorized for payment by BCBST's Medical staff and for which RxCare's staff does not agree, which may include: . [*] percent ([*]%) of the dollar amount of prior authorization and medical necessity reversals . prescribing physician sanctions that are rejected -3- EXHIBIT B Quality of Care Monitors 1. Quality of Care will be monitored in an on-going manner by TennCare staff. 2. Managed Care organizations will be required to establish a Quality Improvement Unit to review inpatient and outpatient care provided by the organization. 3. Managed Care organizations will be required to establish a PEER Review Committee to monitor Quality of Care issues. This Committee will have a clear and concise chain of command. 4. The PEER Review Committee will be responsible for directly addressing issues of concern by letter and face-to-face with the responsible provider. 5. The Managed Care organization shall immediately report to TennCare all cases of suspected provider or recipient fraud or abuse. 6. TennCare and/or its agent shall be provided immediate access to medical and other patient related records by the Managed Care organization of its employees providers of service, or its contract providers of service. 7. TennCare and/or its agent shall make unannounced visits either on a random basis or for a specific reason, to review medical and other patient related records. 8. The Managed Care organization shall immediately notify Medicaid of any malpractice actions brought against any of its providers. 9. For the purpose of monitoring Quality of Care, Access to Care and Availability of Care, the Managed Care organization shall provide the following information for its TennCare patients and for any other patients it cares for, regardless of the method of payment. These reports will be furnished separately in a manner prescribed by TennCare. The following pharmacy items are requested by the State: a. Number of schedule #2 drugs per recipients per month. b. Number of schedule #3 drugs per recipients per month. c. Number of schedule #4 drugs per recipients per month. d. Number of schedule #5 drugs per recipients per month.

 
                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.3

NOTE:  The Company is seeking confidential treatment with respect to certain
information contained in this agreement.  Therefore, such information (which is
identified by an asterisk) has been omitted and filed separately with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.

quality assurance activities shall be recommendations regarding reimbursement
for alternative courses of treatment and that nothing contained in this
Agreement shall interfere with or in any way alter the patient-provider
relationship.  Participating Pharmacies and Physicians shall retain the sole
responsibility for the care and treatment of Members.

Mr. Anthony J. Cebrun J.D., M.P.H.
Tennessee Managed Care Network
Parkview Towers
205 Reldhurst Avenue
Nashville, TN  37203

Dear Mr. Cebrun:

     The following Tenncare proposal is submitted to the Tennessee Managed Care
Network on behalf of the Board of Directors of RxCare of Tennessee.  This
proposal has been developed after numerous conversations between TMCN and RxCare
personnel and I hope that it will meet the expectations of both your Tenncare
enrollees and staff.

PROVIDER NETWORK

     RxCare of Tennessee has established the largest pharmacy network of any
organization operating in the state.  No other Pharmacy Benefit Manager, insurer
or Administrative Service Organization has an expansive pharmacy network as
RxCare.  Currently, over 1,600 pharmacies provide drug benefit services to over
300,000 private insured and expect to cover an additional 600,000 Tenncare
enrollees effective January 1, 1994.

     Our provider network includes both chain and independent pharmacy outlets
as well as long term care and institutional pharmacies.  All participating
pharmacies have contractually agreed to adhere all administrative,
reimbursement, and clinical protocols established by RxCare.  Further, our
provider network will assist RxCare MCO's in the recruitment of new Tenncare
members.

     Enclosed are both the Participating Pharmacy Agreement and a pharmacy
provider listing for your review.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES

     RxCare in cooperation with First Health and Promark have developed and
implemented the following administrative and management services for both its
private and Tenncare customers.  These programs are designed to enable RxCare to
provide state of the art Drug Benefit Programs to its clients.

 
     Listed below are the management services that we are offering in this
proposal to TMCN:

     1.   Point of Sale Electronic Claims Adjudication
     2.   Both Prospective and Retrospective Drug Use Evaluation
     3.   Prior Authorization and Therapeutic Drug Protocol
          Administration
     4.   Drug Formulary and T & T Committee Management
     5.   Drug Rebate Program Administration
     6.   Automated Subscriber Eligibility Verification
     7.   Provider Network and Prescriber Education Programs in Cooperation with
          TMCN
     8.   Quarterly Newsletter Distribution to:
               Pharmacies
               Prescribers
               Subscribers
     9.   Financial Reports
               Pharmacy Reimbursement Reports (Monthly)
               Top 200 Drug Utilization Report (Monthly)
               PM/PM Reports
               Drug Rebate Reports (Quarterly)
     10.  Monthly or Quarterly Utilization Reports
               Pharmacy
               Prescriber
               Subscriber
               Formulary Compliance
               Rebate Compliance
     11.  Generic Dispensing Program with Pharmacists Dispensing Incentives

     In addition to the aforementioned services RxCare will provide to TMCN the
services of a one-half FTE clinical pharmacist to assist with both provider and
prescriber program education and compliance.  This individual will focus on drug
utilization, appropriate use and therapeutic noncompliance which may impact non
drug related health care expenditures.

ECONOMIC

     RxCare is proposing the following reimbursement methodology by TMCN for the
Tenncare program:

     1.   $[*] per member per month
     2.   TMCN will share [*]% of the Drug Rebate collected from the
          pharmaceutical industry.
     3.   Both RxCare and TMCN will share [*] in all profits or shortfalls to
          the program.  This share shall be calculated on an annual basis.
     4.   Only formulary items are covered and generic products must be
          dispensed when available.

                                      -2-

 
     5.   All administrative, claims processing and other program management
          costs associated with this program are the responsibility of RxCare.
     6.   Total risk to TMCN shall not exceed $[*].
     7.   Capitation payments are due to RxCare 15 days prior to the 1st day of
          each month.
     8.   Contract term is for three years with a mutually agreed upon
          capitation adjustment for years two and three.

     I look forward to discussing this proposal with you on December 13, 1995.
Hopefully, this proposal will meet the needs of both your organization and your
Tenncare enrollees.

     If you should have any questions or comments regarding this proposal please
contact either Mike Ryan or me.  Thank you for your cooperation.
 
                                                            Sincerely,

                                                            /s/ E. David Corvese

                                                               December 15, 1993


Mr. Anthony J. Cebrun J.D., M.P.H.
Tennessee Managed Care Network
Parkview Towers
205 Reldhurst Avenue
Nashville, TN  37203

Dear Mr. Cebrun:

     Please accept this letter as an addendum to the RxCare/TMCN Tenncare
proposal submitted to you on December 14, 1993.

MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

     In an effort to minimize the pharmaceutical expenses associated with the
Tenncare mental health population RxCare is proposing the following:

     1.   Pharmaceutical expenses associated with this population will not be
          covered in the capitation rates previously submitted by RxCare under
          separate cover.  RxCare is proposing to cover these individuals under
          a separate capitation rate of $[*] per member per month.

     2.   In an effort to further contain the expenses within this population
          RxCare will negotiate a differential reimbursement rate with selected
          pharmacies.  These pharmacies will be chosen after demographic
          analysis of the subscribers who are covered under this program.
          Effectively, RxCare will create a network within our existing network
          to provide pharmaceuticals to this population.

     3.   To insure that only medically necessary drugs are utilized by this
          population RxCare will create a special psychotropic drug formulary.
          The products included in this formulary and their respective
          utilization patterns will be subject to rigorous protocols and prior
          authorization stipulations.

     4.   RxCare will solicit from selected manufacturers of the products
          included on the psychotropic drug formulary unique financial
          incentives and programs to lessen the

 
          costs associated with this population.  The types of programs under
          consideration are guaranteed success, manufacturer capitation and
          preferential pharmacists dispensing fees.  It is our expectation that
          these programs will evolve and be implemented throughout 1994.

     5.   RxCare will mandate to our psychotropic pharmaceutical network that
          "mail order" equivalent reimbursement, distribution and quantities be
          adopted to augment this program.

OTHER SERVICES

     It is our expectation that throughout the term of this contract that RxCare
will continue to develop, implement and administer creative programs that will
strive to reduce both medical and pharmaceutical related expenditures.  In
particular, we will effectively measure and quantify the outcome costs
associated with specific drug and medical therapies.

     We believe that our relationship with TMCN will uniquely position us to
manage both pharmaceutical and medical expenses in your controlled service
population.

     If you should have any questions regarding this proposal do not hesitate to
contact either Mike Ryan or me.  Thank you for considering RxCare to be your
Tenncare pharmacy network.

  
                                                            Sincerely,

                                                            /s/ E. David Corvese

(S)3.1(b) has terminated; or

                 (f)  the Proprietary Information is produced or disclosed
pursuant to applicable law, regulation or court order, provided that the
receiving party has notified the disclosing party prior to such required
disclosure and has given the

                                      -2-

 
disclosing party an opportunity to contest such required disclosure; or

     The interest rate required by this Section 2 is the rate I will pay both
before and after any default described in Section 5(B) of this Note.

3.   PAYMENTS

     (A) Time and Place of Payments

     I will pay principal and interest by making monthly payments on the 15th
day of each month beginning on July 15, 1994 and continuing until June 15, 1997
(which is called the "maturity date"), when I will pay the full amount of unpaid
principal and interest and any other charges described below that I may owe
under this Note.  My monthly payments will be applied to interest before
principal.

     I will make my monthly payments at 33 North Road, Peace Dale, Rhode Island
or at a different place if required by the Note Holder.

     (B) Amount of Monthly Payments

     My monthly payment will be in the amount of U.S. $4,403.75.

4.   BORROWER'S RIGHT TO PREPAY

     I have the right to make payments of principal at any time before they are
due.  A payment of principal only is known as a "prepayment."  When I make a
prepayment, I will tell the Note Holder in writing that I am doing so.

 
     I may make a full prepayment or partial prepayments without paying any
prepayment charge.  The Note Holder will use all of my prepayments to reduce the
amount of principal that I owe under this Note.  If I make a partial prepayment,
there will be no changes in the due date or in the amount of my monthly payment
unless the Note Holder agrees in writing to those changes.

5.   BORROWER'S FAILURE TO PAY AS REQUIRED

     (A) Late Charges for Overdue Payments

     If the Note Holder has not received the full amount of any monthly payment
by the end of 15 calendar days after the date it is due, I will pay a late
charge to the Note Holder.  The amount of the charge will be three percent (3%)
of my overdue payment.  I will pay this late charge promptly but only once on
each late payment.

     (B) Default

     If I do not pay the full amount of each monthly payment on the date it is
due, I will be in default.

     (C) Notice of Default

     If I am in default, the Note Holder may send me a written notice telling me
that if I do not pay the overdue amount by a certain date, the Note Holder may
require me to pay immediately the full amount of principal which has not been
paid and all the interest that I owe on that amount.  That date must be at least
30 days after the date on which the notice is delivered or mailed to me.

     (D) No Waiver By Note Holder

     Even if, at a time when I am in default, the Note Holder does not require
me to pay immediately in full as described above, the Note Holder will still
have the right to do so if I am in default at a later time.

     (E) Payment of Note Holder's Costs and Expenses

     If the Note Holder has required me to pay immediately in full as described
above, the Note Holder will have the right to be paid back by me for all of its
costs and expenses in enforcing this Note to the extent not prohibited by
applicable law.  Those expenses include, for example, reasonable attorneys'
fees.

6.   GIVING OF NOTICES

     Unless applicable law requires a different method, any notice that must be
given to me under this Note will be given by

                                      -2-

 
delivering or by mailing it by first class mail to me at 839-C Ministerial Road,
South Kingstown, Rhode Island 02879 or at a different address if I give the Note
Holder a notice of my different address.

     Any notice that must be given to the Note Holder under this Note will be
given by mailing it by first class mail to the Note Holder at the address stated
in Section 3(A) above or at a different address if I am given a notice of that
different address.

7.   OBLIGATIONS OF PERSONS UNDER THIS NOTE

     If more than one person signs this Note, each person is fully and
personally obligated to keep all of the promises made in this Note, including
the promise to pay the full amount owed.  Any person who is a guarantor, surety
or endorser of this Note is also obligated to do these things.  Any person who
takes over these obligations, including the obligations of a guarantor, surety
or endorser of this Note, is also obligated to keep all of the promises made in
this Note.  The Note Holder may enforce its rights under this Note against each
person individually or against all of us together.  This means that any one of
us may be required to pay all of the amounts owed under this Note.

8.   WAIVERS

     I and any other person who has obligations under this Note waive the rights
of presentment and notice of dishonor.  "Presentment" means the right to require
the Note Holder to demand payment of amounts due.  "Notice of dishonor" means
the right to require the Note Holder to give notice to other persons that

prepayment, I will tell the Note Holder in writing that I am doing so.

 
     I make a full prepayment or partial payment by paying any prepayment
charge.  The Note Holder will use all other prepayments to reduce the amount of
principal that I owe under this Note.  If I make a partial prepayment, there
will be no changes in the due date or in the amount of my monthly payment unless
the Note Holder agrees in writing to those changes.

     (c)  upon discharge of Executive by the Company for Cause. As used in this
          Agreement, "Cause" shall mean (i) conviction of a felony or crime of
          moral turpitude, (ii) unauthorized acts intended to result in
          Executive's personal enrichment at the material expense of the Company
          or its reputation, (iii) any material violation of Executive's duties
          or responsibilities to the Company which constitutes willful
          misconduct or dereliction of duty, or material breach of Section 9
          herein, or (iv) Executive's other material breach of this Agreement
          which breach shall have continued unremedied for ten (10) days after
          written notice by the Company to Executive specifying such failure;

     (d)  upon discharge of Executive by the Company without Cause;

     (e)  upon Executive's election to terminate his employment; or

     (f)  by mutual written agreement of Executive and the Company.

8.2  In the event that Executive's employment is terminated in accordance with
     Section 8.1(a) herein, or in the case of Executive's death during any
     period set forth in Sections 8.5 or 8.6 herein in which the Company is
     continuing to pay Salary after termination of employment, the Company's
     obligation to continue such Salary, or any insurance or other benefits
     provided herein, shall cease, except to the extent then accrued or as
     otherwise required by law.

8.3  In the event that Executive's employment is terminated in accordance with
     Section 8.1(b) herein, Executive shall continue to receive his Salary for
     twelve (12) months following the month in which such termination occurs.

     During the period in which Salary is continued as a termination benefit for
     a termination in accordance with Section 8.1(b), said termination benefit
     is in lieu of any 

                                       4

 
     disability benefits provided under the Company's employee benefit policy,
     and the Salary otherwise payable upon such termination will be reduced by
     all short term and long term disability payments received by Executive
     during the twelve (12) month termination benefit period.

8.4  In the event that the Company terminates Executive's employment in
     accordance with Section 8.1(c) herein, the Company's obligation to continue
     to pay Executive's Salary shall cease as of the effective date of
     termination.

8.5  In the event that the Company terminates Executive's employment in
     accordance with Section 8.1(d) herein, the Company shall continue to pay
     Executive his Salary at the rate in effect on the date of termination for
     twelve (12) months following the month in which such termination occurs.

8.6  In the event that Executive elects to terminate his employment due to
     material breach of this Agreement by the Company, Executive shall continue
     to receive his Salary at the rate in effect on the date of termination for
     twelve (12) months following the month in which such termination occurs. If
     Executive so elects to terminate his employment, Executive shall give not
     less than ninety (90) days prior written notice of termination within
     ninety (90) days after the event giving rise to the right to elect to
     terminate employment or after Executive reasonably should be aware of such
     event, such notice to specify the event in detail. For a period of sixty
     (60) days after such notice the Company shall have the right to cure such
     event and, upon such cure, Executive's right to receive post-termination
     Salary under this Section 8.6 with respect to such cured event shall
     terminate. Payment of Salary as set forth in this Section 8.6 shall be
     conditional upon Executive's observance of the aforesaid notice requirement
     and the Company's failure to cure such event.

8.7  In the event that Executive elects to terminate his employment for reasons
     other than those set forth in Section 8.6 herein, his Salary shall cease as
     of the effective date of his termination.

8.8  For any period during which Executive's Salary is continued as a
     termination benefit in accordance with this Section 8, Executive's medical,
     disability and life insurance coverage shall continue, at the same level as
     during employment hereunder, for the period that his Salary continues to be

                                       5

 
     paid as provided herein, or until Executive obtains other coverage through
     employment elsewhere, whichever occurs first. The Company will make
     withholdings from said termination payments in accordance with the
     Company's generally applicable policies regarding employee contributions
     for such insurance coverages.

8.9  Except as specifically provided in Section 8 herein or as otherwise
     required by law, and subject to Section 9 herein, upon the expiration or
     earlier termination of Executive's employment hereunder, the Company shall
     have no duty or obligation to Executive other than to pay him his
     compensation and benefits accrued through the date of such expiration or
     termination. Such accrued compensation and benefits, and the termination
     benefits provided in this Section 8, shall be the sole obligation of the
     Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates or divisions, for any and all
     services performed by Executive for, or positions held by Executive with,
     such entities.

9.   Certain Obligations of Executive.
     -------------------------------- 

9.1  Executive represents and warrants that (a) there are no restrictions,
     agreements or understandings whatsoever to which Executive is a party or
     subject which would prevent or make unlawful his execution of this
     Agreement or his employment hereunder, (b) his execution of this Agreement
     and his employment hereunder shall not constitute a breach of any law, rule
     or regulation, or of any contract, agreement or understanding, oral or
     written, to which he is a party or by which he is bound and (c) he is free
     and able to execute this Agreement and to enter into employment by the
     Company. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Executive is called upon under
     this Agreement to engage in any activity which would cause a breach of the
     Zenith Agreement, Executive and the Board shall mutually agree upon a
     course of action designed to prevent such breach.

9.2  Executive further covenants with the Company as follows: (As used in this
     Section 9, "Company" shall include the Company and its subsidiaries and
     affiliates.)

     (a)  Assistance in Litigation.  Executive shall, upon reasonable notice,
          ------------------------                                           
          furnish such information and proper assistance to the Company as may
          reasonably be required by the Company in connection with any
          threatened or actual litigation or other judicial or administrative
          proceedings in which it is, or may become, a party, and

                                       6

 
          the Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket
          expenses incurred in connection with such activity.

     (b)  Confidential Company Information.  Executive shall not knowingly use
          --------------------------------                                    
          for his own benefit or disclose or reveal to any unauthorized person,
          any trade secret or other confidential information relating to the
          Company or its business associates, or to any of the actual, planned
          or contemplated businesses thereof, including, without limitation,
          customer lists, customer needs, price and performance information,
          processes, supply sources and characteristics, business opportunities,
          potential business interests, marketing, promotional pricing and
          financing techniques, business plans and strategies, and Executive
          confirms that such information constitutes the exclusive property of
          the Company. Such restriction on confidential information shall remain
          in effect unless, until and only to the extent that it is (i)
          disclosed in published literature or otherwise generally available in
          the industry through no fault of Executive, (ii) obtained by Executive
          before or after the Employment Term from a third party with the prior
          right to make such disclosure. Executive agrees that he will return to
          the Company any physical embodiment of such confidential information
          upon termination of employment.

     (c)  Non-Competition.  During the Employment Term and for a period of one
          ---------------                                                     
          year following (i) termination of such employment (irrespective of the
          reason for such termination) or (ii) payment of any compensation in
          accordance with Section 8 herein (unless such termination is by the
          Company without Cause), whichever occurs last, Executive shall not
          engage, directly or indirectly (which includes, without limitation,
          owning, managing, operating, controlling, being employed by, giving
          financial assistance to, participating in or being connected in any
          material way with any person or entity other than the Company),
          anywhere in the United States in the businesses of (i) pharmacy
          benefit management, (ii) the manufacture, distribution, marketing or
          sale of generic or over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, (iii) any
          business in which the Company is then engaged, and (iv) any component
          of any of the foregoing businesses; provided, however, that
          Executive's ownership as a passive investor of less than two percent
          (2%) of the issued and outstanding

                                       7

 
          stock of a publicly held corporation shall not be deemed to constitute
          competition. Further, during such period Executive shall not act to
          induce any of the Company's customers or employees to take action
          which might be disadvantageous to the Company.

     (d)  Inventions and Improvements.  Executive hereby acknowledges that he
          ---------------------------                                        
          will treat as for the Company's sole benefit, and fully and promptly
          disclose and assign to the Company without additional compensation,
          all ideas, information, discoveries, inventions and improvements which
          are based upon or related to any confidential information protected
          under Section 9.2(b) herein, and which are made, conceived or reduced
          to practice by him during his employment by the Company and within one
          (1) year after termination thereof. The provisions of this subsection
          9.2(d) shall apply whether such ideas, discoveries, inventions,
          improvements or knowledge are conceived, made or gained by him alone
          or with others, whether during or after usual working hours, either on
          or off the job, to matters directly or indirectly related to the
          Company's business interests (including potential business interests),
          and whether or not within the realm of his duties.
 
     (e)  Third Party Confidential Information.  Executive agrees that he will
          ------------------------------------                                
          not disclose to the Company, or use during the Employment Term, any
          proprietary or confidential information belonging to any third party
          which Executive may have acquired because of an employment, consulting
          or other relationship with such third party, whether such information
          is in Executive's memory or embodied in a writing or other physical
          form.

     (f)  Remedies.  Executive recognizes that the restrictions on his
          --------                                                    
          activities set forth in this Section 9 are required for the reasonable
          protection of the Company and its associates, and Executive expressly
          acknowledges that such restrictions are fair and reasonable for that
          purpose. Executive further expressly acknowledges that damages alone
          will be an inadequate remedy for any breach or violation of any of the
          provisions of this Section 9, and that the Company, in addition to all
          other remedies it may have hereunder or otherwise, shall be entitled,
          as a matter of right, to injunctive relief, including specific
          performance, with respect to any such actual or threatened breach or

                                       8

 
          violation, in any court of competent jurisdiction. If any of the
          provisions of this Section 9 are held to be in any respect an
          unreasonable restriction upon Executive then they shall be deemed to
          extend only over the maximum period of time, geographic area, and/or
          range of activities as to which they may be enforceable.

9.3  Executive expressly agrees that all payments and benefits due Executive
     under this Agreement shall be subject to Executive's compliance with the
     provisions set forth in this Section 9.

9.4  This Section 9 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
     Agreement.

10.  Tax Withholding.
     --------------- 

10.1 The Company may withhold from any compensation or other payments or
     benefits made under this Agreement all Federal, State, City, or other taxes
     as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulations or
     ruling.

11.  Effect of Prior Agreements.
     -------------------------- 

11.1 This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the
     parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any
     and all prior agreements on the subject matter hereof between Executive and
     the Company or any predecessor, affiliate, shareholder or officer thereof.

12.  General Provisions.
     ------------------ 

12.1 Non-assignability.  Neither Executive nor his beneficiaries or legal
     -----------------                                                   
     representatives may assign this Agreement, or any rights or obligations
     hereunder, without the Company's prior written consent. The Company may not
     assign this Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, other than
     to a parent or subsidiary corporation, an affiliate or an entity that
     succeeds to substantially all of the Company's assets, without Executive's
     prior written consent.

     have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement
     of any provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the
     party charged with such waiver or estoppel. Neither the failure nor any
     delay on the part of either party to exercise any right, remedy, power or
     privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
     any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
     preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right,
     remedy, power or privilege nor shall any other waiver of right, remedy,
     power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver
     of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other
     occurrence.

12.5 Severability.  If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement is
     ------------                                                         
     held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this
     Agreement not held so invalid, and each such other provision shall to the
     full extent consistent with law continue in force and effect.

     convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation
     of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

          misconduct or dereliction of duty, or material breach of Section 9
          herein, or (iv) Executive's other material breach of this Agreement
          which breach shall have continued unremedied for ten (10) days after
          written notice by the Company to Executive specifying such failure;

     (d)  upon discharge of Executive by the Company without Cause;

     (e)  upon Executive's election to terminate his employment; or

     (f)  by mutual written agreement of Executive and the Company.

8.2  In the event that Executive's employment is terminated in accordance with
     Section 8.1(a) herein, or in the case of Executive's death during any
     period set forth in Sections 8.5 or 8.6 herein in which the Company is
     continuing to pay Salary after termination of employment, the Company's
     obligation to continue such Salary, or any insurance or other benefits
     provided herein, shall cease, except to the extent then accrued or as
     otherwise required by law.

8.3  In the event that Executive's employment is terminated in accordance with
     Section 8.1(b) herein, Executive shall continue to receive his Salary for
     twelve (12) months following the month in which such termination occurs.

     During the period in which Salary is continued as a termination benefit for
     a termination in accordance with Section 8.1(b), said termination benefit
     is in lieu of any disability benefits provided under the Company's employee
     benefit policy, and the Salary otherwise payable upon such termination will
     be reduced by all short term and long term disability payments received by
     Executive during the twelve (12) month termination benefit period.

8.4  In the event that the Company terminates Executive's employment in
     accordance with Section 8.1(c) herein, the 

                                       4

 
     Company's obligation to continue to pay Executive's Salary shall cease as
     of the effective date of termination.

8.5  In the event that the Company terminates Executive's employment in
accordance with Section 8.1(d) herein, the Company shall continue to pay
Executive his Salary at the rate in effect on the date of termination for twelve
(12) months following the month in which such termination occurs.

8.6  In the event that Executive elects to terminate his employment due to
     material breach of this Agreement by the Company, Executive shall continue
     to receive his Salary at the rate in effect on the date of termination for
     twelve (12) months following the month in which such termination occurs. If
     Executive so elects to terminate his employment, Executive shall give not
     less than ninety (90) days prior written notice of termination within
     ninety (90) days after the event giving rise to the right to elect to
     terminate employment or after Executive reasonably should be aware of such
     event, such notice to specify the event in detail. For a period of sixty
     (60) days after such notice the Company shall have the right to cure such
     event and, upon such cure, Executive's right to receive post-termination
     Salary under this Section 8.6 with respect to such cured event shall
     terminate. Payment of Salary as set forth in this Section 8.6 shall be
     conditional upon Executive's observance of the aforesaid notice requirement
     and the Company's failure to cure such event.

8.7  In the event that Executive elects to terminate his employment for reasons
     other than those set forth in Section 8.6 herein, his Salary shall cease as
     of the effective date of his termination.

8.8  For any period during which Executive's Salary is continued as a
     termination benefit in accordance with this Section 8, Executive's medical,
     disability and life insurance coverage shall continue, at the same level as
     during employment hereunder, for the period that his Salary continues to be
     paid as provided herein, or until Executive obtains other coverage through
     employment elsewhere, whichever occurs first. The Company will make
     withholdings from said termination payments in accordance with the
     Company's generally applicable policies regarding employee contributions
     for such insurance coverages.

                                       5

 
8.9  Except as specifically provided in Section 8 herein or as otherwise
     required by law, and subject to Section 9 herein, upon the expiration or
     earlier termination of Executive's employment hereunder, the Company shall
     have no duty or obligation to Executive other than to pay him his
     compensation and benefits accrued through the date of such expiration or
     termination. Such accrued compensation and benefits, and the termination
     benefits provided in this Section 8, shall be the sole obligation of the
     Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates or divisions, for any and all
     services performed by Executive for, or positions held by Executive with,
     such entities.

9.   Certain Obligations of Executive.
     -------------------------------- 

9.1  Executive represents and warrants that (a) there are no restrictions,
     agreements or understandings whatsoever to which Executive is a party or
     subject which would prevent or make unlawful his execution of this
     Agreement or his employment hereunder, (b) his execution of this Agreement
     and his employment hereunder shall not constitute a breach of any law, rule
     or regulation, or of any contract, agreement or understanding, oral or
     written, to which he is a party or by which he is bound and (c) he is free
     and able to execute this Agreement and to enter into employment by the
     Company.

9.2  Executive further covenants with the Company as follows: (As used in this
     Section 9, "Company" shall include the Company and its subsidiaries and
     affiliates.)

     (a)  Assistance in Litigation.  Executive shall, upon reasonable notice,
          ------------------------                                           
          furnish such information and proper assistance to the Company as may
          reasonably be required by the Company in connection with any
          threatened or actual litigation or other judicial or administrative
          proceedings in which it is, or may become, a party, and the Company
          shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
          incurred in connection with such activity.

     (b)  Confidential Company Information.  Executive shall not knowingly use
          --------------------------------                                    
          for his own benefit or disclose or reveal to any unauthorized person,
          any trade secret or other confidential information relating to the
          Company or its business associates, or to any of the actual, planned
          or contemplated businesses thereof, including, without limitation,
          customer lists, customer needs, price and 

                                       6

 
          performance information, processes, supply sources and
          characteristics, business opportunities, potential business interests,
          marketing, promotional pricing and financing techniques, business
          plans and strategies, and Executive confirms that such information
          constitutes the exclusive property of the Company. Such restriction on
          confidential information shall remain in effect unless, until and only
          to the extent that it is (i) disclosed in published literature or
          otherwise generally available in the industry through no fault of
          Executive, (ii) obtained by Executive before or after the Employment
          Term from a third party with the prior right to make such disclosure.
          Executive agrees that he will return to the Company any physical
          embodiment of such confidential information upon termination of
          employment.

     (c)  Non-Competition.  During the Employment Term and for a period of one
          ---------------                                                     
          year following (i) termination of such employment (irrespective of the
          reason for such termination) or (ii) payment of any compensation in
          accordance with Section 8 herein (unless such termination is by the
          Company without Cause), whichever occurs last, Executive shall not
          engage, directly or indirectly (which includes, without limitation,
          owning, managing, operating, controlling, being employed by, giving
          financial assistance to, participating in or being connected in any
          material way with any person or entity other than the Company),
          anywhere in the United States in the businesses of (i) pharmacy
          benefit management, (ii) any business in which the Company is then
          engaged, and (iii) any component of any of the foregoing businesses;
          provided, however, that Executive's ownership as a passive investor of
          less than two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding stock of a
          publicly held corporation shall not be deemed to constitute
          competition. Further, during such period Executive shall not act to
          induce any of the Company's customers or employees to take action
          which might be disadvantageous to the Company.

     (d)  Inventions and Improvements.  Executive hereby acknowledges that he
          ---------------------------                                        
          will treat as for the Company's sole benefit, and fully and promptly
          disclose and assign to the Company without additional compensation,
          all ideas, information, discoveries, inventions and 

                                       7

 
          improvements which are based upon or related to any confidential
          information protected under Section 9.2(b) herein, and which are made,
          conceived or reduced to practice by him during his employment by the
          Company and within one (1) year after termination thereof. The
          provisions of this subsection 9.2(d) shall apply whether such ideas,
          discoveries, inventions, improvements or knowledge are conceived, made
          or gained by him alone or with others, whether during or after usual
          working hours, either on or off the job, to matters directly or
          indirectly related to the Company's business interests (including
          potential business interests), and whether or not within the realm of
          his duties.
 
     (e)  Third Party Confidential Information.  Executive agrees that he will
          ------------------------------------                                
          not disclose to the Company, or use during the Employment Term, any
          proprietary or confidential information belonging to any third party
          which Executive may have acquired because of an employment, consulting
          or other relationship with such third party, whether such information
          is in Executive's memory or embodied in a writing or other physical
          form.

     (f)  Remedies. Executive recognizes that the restrictions on his
          --------                                                    
          activities set forth in this Section 9 are required for the reasonable
          protection of the Company and its associates, and Executive expressly
          acknowledges that such restrictions are fair and reasonable for that
          purpose. Executive further expressly acknowledges that damages alone
          will be an inadequate remedy for any breach or violation of any of the
          provisions of this Section 9, and that the Company, in addition to all
          other remedies it may have hereunder or otherwise, shall be entitled,
          as a matter of right, to injunctive relief, including specific
          performance, with respect to any such actual or threatened breach or
          violation, in any court of competent jurisdiction. If any of the
          provisions of this Section 9 are held to be in any respect an
          unreasonable restriction upon Executive then they shall be deemed to
          extend only over the maximum period of time, geographic area, and/or
          range of activities as to which they may be enforceable.

9.3  Executive expressly agrees that all payments and benefits due Executive
     under this Agreement shall be subject to 

                                       8

 
     Executive's compliance with the provisions set forth in this Section 9.

9.4  This Section 9 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
     Agreement.

10.  Tax Withholding.
     --------------- 

10.1 The Company may withhold from any compensation or other payments or
     benefits made under this Agreement all Federal, State, City, or other taxes
     as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulations or
     ruling.

11.  Effect of Prior Agreements.
     -------------------------- 

11.1 This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the
     parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any
     and all prior agreements on the subject matter hereof between Executive and
     the Company or any predecessor, affiliate, shareholder or officer thereof.

     hereunder, without the Company's prior written consent. The Company may not

     (d)  upon discharge of Executive by the Company without Cause;

     (e)  upon Executive's election to terminate his employment; or

     (f)  by mutual written agreement of Executive and the Company.

8.2  In the event that Executive's employment is terminated in accordance with
     Section 8.1(a) herein, or in the case of Executive's death during any
     period set forth in Sections 8.5 or 8.6 herein in which the Company is
     continuing to pay Salary after termination of employment, the Company's
     obligation to continue such Salary, or any insurance or other benefits
     provided herein, shall cease, except to the extent then accrued or as
     otherwise required by law.

8.3  In the event that Executive's employment is terminated in accordance with
     Section 8.1(b) herein, Executive shall continue to receive his Salary for
     twelve (12) months following the month in which such termination occurs.

     During the period in which Salary is continued as a termination benefit for
     a termination in accordance with Section 8.1(b), said termination benefit
     is in lieu of any disability benefits provided under the Company's employee

                                       4

 
     benefit policy, and the Salary otherwise payable upon such termination will
     be reduced by all short term and long term disability payments received by
     Executive during the twelve (12) month termination benefit period.

8.4  In the event that the Company terminates Executive's employment in
     accordance with Section 8.1(c) herein, the Company's obligation to continue
     to pay Executive's Salary shall cease as of the effective date of
     termination.

8.5  In the event that the Company terminates Executive's employment in
     accordance with Section 8.1(d) herein, the Company shall continue to pay
     Executive his Salary at the rate in effect on the date of termination for
     twelve (12) months following the month in which such termination occurs.

8.6  In the event that Executive elects to terminate his employment due to
     material breach of this Agreement by the Company, Executive shall continue
     to receive his Salary at the rate in effect on the date of termination for
     twelve (12) months following the month in which such termination occurs. If
     Executive so elects to terminate his employment, Executive shall give not
     less than ninety (90) days prior written notice of termination within
     ninety (90) days after the event giving rise to the right to elect to
     terminate employment or after Executive reasonably should be aware of such
     event, such notice to specify the event in detail. For a period of sixty
     (60) days after such notice the Company shall have the right to cure such
     event and, upon such cure, Executive's right to receive post-termination
     Salary under this Section 8.6 with respect to such cured event shall
     terminate. Payment of Salary as set forth in this Section 8.6 shall be
     conditional upon Executive's observance of the aforesaid notice requirement
     and the Company's failure to cure such event.

8.7  In the event that Executive elects to terminate his employment for reasons
     other than those set forth in Section 8.6 herein, his Salary shall cease as
     of the effective date of his termination.

8.8  For any period during which Executive's Salary is continued as a
     termination benefit in accordance with this Section 8, Executive's medical,
     disability and life insurance coverage shall continue, at the same level as
     during employment hereunder, for the period that his Salary continues to be
     paid as provided herein, or until Executive obtains other 

                                       5

 
     coverage through employment elsewhere, whichever occurs first. The Company
     will make withholdings from said termination payments in accordance with
     the Company's generally applicable policies regarding employee
     contributions for such insurance coverages.

8.9  Except as specifically provided in Section 8 herein or as otherwise
     required by law, and subject to Section 9 herein, upon the expiration or
     earlier termination of Executive's employment hereunder, the Company shall
     have no duty or obligation to Executive other than to pay him his
     compensation and benefits accrued through the date of such expiration or
     termination. Such accrued compensation and benefits, and the termination
     benefits provided in this Section 8, shall be the sole obligation of the
     Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates or divisions, for any and all
     services performed by Executive for, or positions held by Executive with,
     such entities.

9.   Certain Obligations of Executive.
     -------------------------------- 

9.1  Executive represents and warrants that (a) there are no restrictions,
     agreements or understandings whatsoever to which Executive is a party or
     subject which would prevent or make unlawful his execution of this
     Agreement or his employment hereunder, (b) his execution of this Agreement
     and his employment hereunder shall not constitute a breach of any law, rule
     or regulation, or of any contract, agreement or understanding, oral or
     written, to which he is a party or by which he is bound and (c) he is free
     and able to execute this Agreement and to enter into employment by the
     Company. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Executive is called upon under
     this Agreement to engage in any activity which would cause a breach of the
     Zenith Agreement, Executive and the Board shall mutually agree upon a
     course of action designed to prevent such breach.

9.2  Executive further covenants with the Company as follows: (As used in this
     Section 9, "Company" shall include the Company and its subsidiaries and
     affiliates.)

     (a)  Assistance in Litigation.  Executive shall, upon reasonable notice,
          ------------------------                                           
          furnish such information and proper assistance to the Company as may
          reasonably be required by the Company in connection with any
          threatened or actual litigation or other judicial or administrative
          proceedings in which it is, or may become, a party, and the Company
          shall reimburse Executive for all 

                                       6

 
          reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such
          activity.

     (b)  Confidential Company Information.  Executive shall not knowingly use
          --------------------------------                                    
          for his own benefit or disclose or reveal to any unauthorized person,
          any trade secret or other confidential information relating to the
          Company or its business associates, or to any of the actual, planned
          or contemplated businesses thereof, including, without limitation,
          customer lists, customer needs, price and performance information,
          processes, supply sources and characteristics, business opportunities,
          potential business interests, marketing, promotional pricing and
          financing techniques, business plans and strategies, and Executive
          confirms that such information constitutes the exclusive property of
          the Company.  Such restriction on confidential information shall
          remain in effect unless, until and only to the extent that it is (i)
          disclosed in published literature or otherwise generally available in
          the industry through no fault of Executive, (ii) obtained by Executive
          before or after the Employment Term from a third party with the prior
          right to make such disclosure.  Executive agrees that he will return
          to the Company any physical embodiment of such confidential
          information upon termination of employment.

     (c)  Non-Competition.  During the Employment Term and for a period of one
          ---------------                                                     
          year following (i) termination of such employment (irrespective of the
          reason for such termination) or (ii) payment of any compensation in
          accordance with Section 8 herein (unless such termination is by the
          Company without Cause), whichever occurs last, Executive shall not
          engage, directly or indirectly (which includes, without limitation,
          owning, managing, operating, controlling, being employed by, giving
          financial assistance to, participating in or being connected in any
          material way with any person or entity other than the Company),
          anywhere in the United States in the businesses of (i) pharmacy
          benefit management, (ii) any business in which the Company is then
          engaged, and (iii) any component of any of the foregoing businesses;
          provided, however, that Executive's ownership as a passive investor of
          less than two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding stock of a
          publicly held corporation shall not be

                                       7

 
          deemed to constitute competition. Further, during such period
          Executive shall not act to induce any of the Company's customers or
          employees to take action which might be disadvantageous to the
          Company.

     (d)  Inventions and Improvements.  Executive hereby acknowledges that he
          ---------------------------                                        
          will treat as for the Company's sole benefit, and fully and promptly
          disclose and assign to the Company without additional compensation,
          all ideas, information, discoveries, inventions and improvements which
          are based upon or related to any confidential information protected
          under Section 9.2(b) herein, and which are made, conceived or reduced
          to practice by him during his employment by the Company and within one
          (1) year after termination thereof.  The provisions of this subsection
          9.2(d) shall apply whether such ideas, discoveries, inventions,
          improvements or knowledge are conceived, made or gained by him alone
          or with others, whether during or after usual working hours, either on
          or off the job, to matters directly or indirectly related to the
          Company's business interests (including potential business interests),
          and whether or not within the realm of his duties.
 
     (e)  Third Party Confidential Information.  Executive agrees that he will
          ------------------------------------                                
          not disclose to the Company, or use during the Employment Term, any
          proprietary or confidential information belonging to any third party
          which Executive may have acquired because of an employment, consulting
          or other relationship with such third party, whether such information
          is in Executive's memory or embodied in a writing or other physical
          form.

     (f)  Remedies.  Executive recognizes that the restrictions on his
          --------                                                    
          activities set forth in this Section 9 are required for the reasonable
          protection of the Company and its associates, and Executive expressly
          acknowledges that such restrictions are fair and reasonable for that
          purpose. Executive further expressly acknowledges that damages alone
          will be an inadequate remedy for any breach or violation of any of the
          provisions of this Section 9, and that the Company, in addition to all
          other remedies it may have hereunder or otherwise, shall be entitled,
          as a matter of right, to injunctive relief, including specific
          performance, with respect to any such actual or threatened breach or
          violation, in any court of competent jurisdiction. If 

                                       8

 
          any of the provisions of this Section 9 are held to be in any respect
          an unreasonable restriction upon Executive then they shall be deemed
          to extend only over the maximum period of time, geographic area,
          and/or range of activities as to which they may be enforceable.

9.3  Executive expressly agrees that all payments and benefits due Executive
     under this Agreement shall be subject to Executive's compliance with the
     provisions set forth in this Section 9.

9.4  This Section 9 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
     Agreement.

10.  Tax Withholding.
     --------------- 

10.1 The Company may withhold from any compensation or other payments or
     benefits made under this Agreement all Federal, State, City, or other taxes
     as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulations or
     ruling.

11.  Effect of Prior Agreements.
     -------------------------- 

11.1 This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the
     parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any
     and all prior agreements on the subject matter hereof between Executive and
     the Company or any predecessor, affiliate, shareholder or officer thereof.

12.  General Provisions.
     ------------------ 

12.1 Non-assignability.  Neither Executive nor his beneficiaries or legal
     -----------------                                                   
     representatives may assign this Agreement, or any rights or obligations
     hereunder, without the Company's prior written consent.  The  Company may
     not assign this Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, other
     than to a parent or subsidiary corporation, an affiliate or an entity that
     succeeds to substantially all of the Company's assets, without Executive's
     prior written consent.

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

     been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any
     provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party
     charged with such waiver or estoppel. Neither the failure nor any delay on
     the part of either party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege
     under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
     single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
     preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right,
     remedy, power or privilege nor shall any other waiver of right, remedy,
     power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver
     of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other
     occurrence.

12.5 Severability.  If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement is held
     ------------

     Agreement not held so invalid, and each such other provision shall to the
     full extent consistent with law continue in force and effect.

     convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation
     of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

     twelve (12) months following the month in which such termination occurs.

     During the period in which Salary is continued as a termination benefit for
     a termination in accordance with Section 8.1(b), said termination benefit
     is in lieu of any disability benefits provided under the Company's employee
     benefit policy, and the Salary otherwise payable upon such termination will
     be reduced by all short term and long term disability payments received by
     Executive during the twelve (12) month termination benefit period.

8.4  In the event that the Company terminates Executive's employment in
     accordance with Section 8.1(c) herein, the Company's obligation to continue
     to pay Executive's Salary shall cease as of the effective date of
     termination.

8.5  In the event that the Company terminates Executive's employment in
     accordance with Section 8.1(d) herein, the Company shall continue to pay
     Executive his Salary at the rate in effect on the date of termination for
     twelve (12) months following the month in which such termination occurs.

                                       4

 
8.6  In the event that Executive elects to terminate his employment due to
     material breach of this Agreement by the Company, Executive shall continue
     to receive his Salary at the rate in effect on the date of termination for
     twelve (12) months following the month in which such termination occurs. If
     Executive so elects to terminate his employment, Executive shall give not
     less than ninety (90) days prior written notice of termination within
     ninety (90) days after the event giving rise to the right to elect to
     terminate employment or after Executive reasonably should be aware of such
     event, such notice to specify the event in detail. For a period of sixty
     (60) days after such notice the Company shall have the right to cure such
     event and, upon such cure, Executive's right to receive post-termination
     Salary under this Section 8.6 with respect to such cured event shall
     terminate. Payment of Salary as set forth in this Section 8.6 shall be
     conditional upon Executive's observance of the aforesaid notice requirement
     and the Company's failure to cure such event.

8.7  In the event that Executive elects to terminate his employment for reasons
     other than those set forth in Section 8.6 herein, his Salary shall cease as
     of the effective date of his termination.

8.8  For any period during which Executive's Salary is continued as a
     termination benefit in accordance with this Section 8, Executive's medical,
     disability and life insurance coverage shall continue, at the same level as
     during employment hereunder, for the period that his Salary continues to be
     paid as provided herein, or until Executive obtains other coverage through
     employment elsewhere, whichever occurs first. The Company will make
     withholdings from said termination payments in accordance with the
     Company's generally applicable policies regarding employee contributions
     for such insurance coverages.

8.9  Except as specifically provided in Section 8 herein or as otherwise
     required by law, and subject to Section 9 herein, upon the expiration or
     earlier termination of Executive's employment hereunder, the Company shall
     have no duty or obligation to Executive other than to pay him his
     compensation and benefits accrued through the date of such expiration or
     termination. Such accrued compensation and benefits, and the termination
     benefits provided in this Section 8, shall be the sole obligation of the
     Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates or divisions, for any and all

                                       5

 
     services performed by Executive for, or positions held by Executive with,
     such entities.

9.   Certain Obligations of Executive.
     -------------------------------- 

9.1  Executive represents and warrants that (a) there are no restrictions,
     agreements or understandings whatsoever to which Executive is a party or
     subject which would prevent or make unlawful his execution of this
     Agreement or his employment hereunder, (b) his execution of this Agreement
     and his employment hereunder shall not constitute a breach of any law, rule
     or regulation, or of any contract, agreement or understanding, oral or
     written, to which he is a party or by which he is bound and (c) he is free
     and able to execute this Agreement and to enter into employment by the
     Company.

     Section 9, "Company" shall include the Company and its subsidiaries and
     affiliates.)

     (a)  Assistance in Litigation.  Executive shall, upon reasonable notice,
          ------------------------                                           
          furnish such information and proper assistance to the Company as may
          reasonably be required by the Company in connection with any
          threatened or actual litigation or other judicial or administrative
          proceedings in which it is, or may become, a party, and the Company
          shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
          incurred in connection with such activity.

     (b)  Confidential Company Information.  Executive shall not knowingly use
          --------------------------------                                    
          for his own benefit or disclose or reveal to any unauthorized person,
          any trade secret or other confidential information relating to the
          Company or its business associates, or to any of the actual, planned
          or contemplated businesses thereof, including, without limitation,
          customer lists, customer needs, price and performance information,
          processes, supply sources and characteristics, business opportunities,
          potential business interests, marketing, promotional pricing and
          financing techniques, business plans and strategies, and Executive
          confirms that such information constitutes the exclusive property of
          the Company.  Such restriction on confidential information shall
          remain in effect unless, until and only to the extent that it is (i)
          disclosed in published literature or otherwise generally available in
          the industry through no fault of 

                                       6

 
          Executive, (ii) obtained by Executive before or after the Employment
          Term from a third party with the prior right to make such disclosure.
          Executive agrees that he will return to the Company any physical
          embodiment of such confidential information upon termination of
          employment.

     (c)  Non-Competition.  During the Employment Term and for a period of one
          ---------------                                                     
          year following (i) termination of such employment (irrespective of the
          reason for such termination) or (ii) payment of any compensation in
          accordance with Section 8 herein (unless such termination is by the
          Company without Cause), whichever occurs last, Executive shall not
          engage, directly or indirectly (which includes, without limitation,
          owning, managing, operating, controlling, being employed by, giving
          financial assistance to, participating in or being connected in any
          material way with any person or entity other than the Company),
          anywhere in the United States in the businesses of (i) pharmacy
          benefit management, (ii) the manufacture, distribution, marketing or
          sale of generic or over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, (iii) any
          business in which the Company is then engaged, and (iv) any component
          of any of the foregoing businesses; provided, however, that
          Executive's ownership as a passive investor of less than two percent
          (2%) of the issued and outstanding stock of a publicly held
          corporation shall not be deemed to constitute competition. Further,
          during such period Executive shall not act to induce any of the
          Company's customers or employees to take action which might be
          disadvantageous to the Company.

     (d)  Inventions and Improvements.  Executive hereby acknowledges that he
          ---------------------------                                        
          will treat as for the Company's sole benefit, and fully and promptly
          disclose and assign to the Company without additional compensation,
          all ideas, information, discoveries, inventions and improvements which
          are based upon or related to any confidential information protected
          under Section 9.2(b) herein, and which are made, conceived or reduced
          to practice by him during his employment by the Company and within one
          (1) year after termination thereof. The provisions of this subsection
          9.2(d) shall apply whether such ideas, discoveries, inventions,
          improvements or knowledge are conceived, made or gained by him alone
          or with others, whether during or after usual working hours, either on
          or off the job, to matters

                                       7

 
          directly or indirectly related to the Company's business interests
          (including potential business interests), and whether or not within
          the realm of his duties.
          
     (e)  Third Party Confidential Information.  Executive agrees that he will
          ------------------------------------                                
          not disclose to the Company, or use during the Employment Term, any
          proprietary or confidential information belonging to any third party
          which Executive may have acquired because of an employment, consulting
          or other relationship with such third party, whether such information
          is in Executive's memory or embodied in a writing or other physical
          form.

     (f)  Remedies.  Executive recognizes that the restrictions on his
          --------                                                    
          activities set forth in this Section 9 are required for the reasonable
          protection of the Company and its associates, and Executive expressly
          acknowledges that such restrictions are fair and reasonable for that
          purpose. Executive further expressly acknowledges that damages alone
          will be an inadequate remedy for any breach or violation of any of the
          provisions of this Section 9, and that the Company, in addition to all
          other remedies it may have hereunder or otherwise, shall be entitled,
          as a matter of right, to injunctive relief, including specific
          performance, with respect to any such actual or threatened breach or
          violation, in any court of competent jurisdiction. If any of the
          provisions of this Section 9 are held to be in any respect an
          unreasonable restriction upon Executive then they shall be deemed to
          extend only over the maximum period of time, geographic area, and/or
          range of activities as to which they may be enforceable.

9.3  Executive expressly agrees that all payments and benefits due Executive
     under this Agreement shall be subject to Executive's compliance with the
     provisions set forth in this Section 9.

9.4  This Section 9 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
     Agreement.

10.  Tax Withholding.
     --------------- 

10.1 The Company may withhold from any compensation or other payments or
     benefits made under this Agreement all Federal, 

                                       8

 
     State, City, or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or
     governmental regulations or ruling.

11.  Effect of Prior Agreements.
     -------------------------- 

11.1 This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding between the
     parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any
     and all prior agreements on the subject matter hereof between Executive and
     the Company or any predecessor, affiliate, shareholder or officer thereof.

     representatives may assign this Agreement, or any rights or obligations
     hereunder, without the Company's prior written consent. The Company may not
     assign this Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, other than
     to a parent or subsidiary corporation, an affiliate or an entity that
     succeeds to substantially all of the Company's assets, without Executive's
     prior written consent.

     have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement
     of any provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the
     party charged with such waiver or estoppel. Neither the failure nor any
     delay on the part of either party to exercise any right, remedy, power or
     privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
     any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
     preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right,
     remedy, power or privilege nor shall any other waiver of right, remedy,
     power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver
     of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other

                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


     THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated ______________, 1995, is between Pro-Mark
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices at 33 North Road, P.O. Box
3704, Peace Dale, Rhode Island 02883 ("Company") and Richard H. Krupski, with an
address at 45 Linden Road, Barrington, Rhode Island 02806 ("Executive").

     IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED by the parties hereto as follows:

     1.  Employment.  Company hereby employs Executive to perform the duties
         ----------                                                         
described in this Agreement upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, and
Executive accepts that employment, representing that no agreements or
obligations exist to which Executive is a party or otherwise bound, in writing
or otherwise, that interfere with, impede or preclude him from fulfilling the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

     2.  Term.  Executive's employment will begin as of the date of this
         ----                                                           
Agreement and, unless terminated earlier as hereinafter provided, will end on
the date three (3) years after said date.  Upon expiration of the term,
Executive's employment will continue on a month-to-month basis, terminable by
either party at the end of any calendar month by giving notice of termination
not later than 10 days before the end of the month but otherwise subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 
     3.  Duties.  Executive will serve as Executive Vice President of Marketing.
         ------                                                          
Executive will use his best and most diligent efforts to promote the interests
of Company, will devote his full business time, attention and skill to his
duties and will not engage in any other business activity.  Personal investment
activities will not be considered business activity as long as Executive does
not participate in the day-to-day operation of the business venture in which the
investment is made.  Executive has been elected to the Board of Directors of the
Company.  Executive accepts such election and agrees to continue to serve as a
member of the Board, if reelected, throughout the term of this Agreement.

     4.  Compensation.  Executive will be entitled to a salary at the annual
         ------------                                                       
rate of $175,000, in installments not less frequently than monthly.  The Board
of Directors of the Company may review and in its discretion increase
Executive's salary, but Executive's salary shall not be reduced to an amount
below that specified herein without the consent of Executive.  In addition to
salary, Executive will be eligible for such incentive compensation or
performance bonuses, not exceeding the sum of $25,000 in any calendar year, as
may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors to reflect
Company's financial success and Executive's contribution to it.

                                      -2-

 
     5.  Fringe Benefits.  Executive will be provided with such fringe benefits
         ---------------                                                       
as may be generally afforded management personnel of Company.  Such benefits
currently include a monthly automobile use allowance, $1 million of life
insurance and participation in Company's 401(k) plan, 1994 Stock Plan and group
medical insurance and group disability insurance plans.  Until the occurrence of
an event described in paragraph 3 of the Non Qualified Stock Option Certificate
of even date as causing the immediate vesting of the entirety of the Option
granted therein, options to purchase shares of the common stock of Company shall
be granted by Company to Executive, as necessary, so as to maintain the total
number of shares held by Executive or subject to acquisition under options
granted to Executive (under the 1994 Stock Plan and any other plan) at a level
equal to ____% of the total number of shares of common stock of Company:  (a)
issued and (b) subject to outstanding options (granted under the 1994 Stock Plan
and any other plan).

     In addition to the foregoing fringe benefits, Executive will be eligible
for reimbursement of up to $20,000 of any out-of pocket expenses incurred by
Executive to qualify for benefits which Executive otherwise would have forfeit
by reason of the termination of Executive's previous employment.

     6.  Vacation.  Executive will be permitted to take reasonable amounts of
         --------                                                            
vacation in accordance with such policies

                                      -3-

 
as may be adopted from time to time by Company's Board of Directors.

     7.  Confidential Information.  Except as required in the performance of his
         ------------------------                                               
duties under this Agreement, Executive will not at any time, directly or
indirectly, use or disclose any confidential information of Company which
Executive may receive or obtain while in the employment of Company.  Immediately
upon termination of Executive's employment with Company, Executive shall deliver
to Company all records and other things, including copies, containing
confidential information of Company, then within Executive's possession or
control, whether prepared by Executive or others.

     8.  Assignment of Developments.  Any new information, idea or thing
         --------------------------                                     
(whether or not patentable) relating to Company's present or planned business
and conceived or suggested by Executive alone or in conjunction with others
during or as result of Executive's employment by Company ("Development") shall
be the property of Company, free of any rights on the part of Executive.  During
Executive's employment and thereafter, Executive shall promptly make full
disclosure of each Development to Company and, at Company's request and expense,
do all acts and things (including without limitation the execution and delivery
under oath of patent and copyright applications and instruments of assignment)
deemed necessary or desirable by Company at any time

                                      -4-

 
to effect the full assignment to Company of any right and title of Executive
therein.

     9.  Non-Disturbance; Non-Competition.  During the term of this Agreement,
         --------------------------------                                     
and for a period of one year thereafter, Executive will not, directly or
indirectly, disturb any business relationship between Company and its employees,
customers, suppliers or other business associates, or own, operate, or
participate in the ownership or operation of, or in any manner (whether as
director, officer, employee, partner, stockholder, consultant or otherwise) be
connected with, any business the principal activity of which is in competition
with the pharmacy benefit management and consulting business or any other
present or planned business of Company or any of its subsidiaries.  The
ownership of an equity or proprietary interest constituting less than five
percent of the entire equity or proprietary interest in a corporation or other
business entity will not be considered a breach of the obligation set forth in
this paragraph.  Executive agrees that Executive's obligations hereunder may be
enforced by temporary restraining order, injunction or other appropriate court
order.

     10. Termination.  Company may terminate Executive's employment at any time
         -----------                                                           
by notice given by Company to Executive designating a date upon which the
employment terminates.  Upon termination of Executive's employment, Executive
will be entitled

                                      -5-

 
to salary and fringe benefits accrued and unpaid to the effective date of
termination.  In addition, in the event Executive's employment is terminated by
Company for one of the reasons set forth below, Executive will be entitled to
monthly payments equal to one-twelfth of his annual salary, less applicable
withholding and deductions, and to fringe benefits provided to Executive on the
date of termination, for a period of six months:

     (a) Executive, by reason of physical or mental disability, is unable to
perform his duties hereunder for a total of 90 days in any 12 month period; or

     (b) Executive is determined by Company to be performing his duties under
this Agreement in an unsatisfactory manner.  Company shall give Executive
written notice specifying the nature of the unsatisfactory performance and
referring to this Paragraph, and shall give Executive a minimum of thirty days
to correct the unsatisfactory performance before terminating Executive's

                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is between Pro-Mark Drug Benefit Marketing
Services, LLC., a Rhode Island limited liability company with offices at 25
North Road, Peace Dale, Rhode Island ("Company"), and Michael R. Ryan, Ph.D., an
individual with an address at 1316 Crabapple Lane, Memphis, TN  38117
("Executive").

     IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED by the parties hereto as follows:

     1.  Employment.  Company hereby employs Executive to perform the duties
         ----------                                                         
described in this Agreement upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, and
Executive accepts that employment, representing that no agreements or
obligations exist to which Executive is a party or otherwise bound, in writing
or otherwise, that interfere with, impede or preclude him from fulfilling the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

     2.  Term.  Executive's employment will begin as of the date of this
         ----                                                           
Agreement and, unless terminated as hereinafter provided, will end on December
31, 1996.  Thereafter, Executive's employment will continue on a month-to-month
basis, terminable by either party at the end of any calendar month by giving
notice of termination not later than 10 days before the end of the month but
otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 
     3.  Duties.  Executive will serve as Vice-President of Regional Marketing.
         ------                                                                 
Executive will use his best and most diligent efforts to promote the interests
of Company, will devote his full business time, attention and skill to his
duties and will not engage in any other business activity.  Personal investment
activities (provided Executive does not participate in the operation of the
venture in which the investment is made) will not be considered business
activity.

     4.  Compensation.  Executive will be entitled to a salary at the annual
         ------------                                                       
rate of $96,000, in installments not less frequently than monthly.  The Manager
of Company will review Executive's salary annually and will make such periodic
adjustments of Executive's salary as the Manager may consider appropriate but
will not reduce Executive's salary below that specified herein without the
consent of Executive.  In addition to salary, Executive will be paid such
incentive compensation or performance bonuses as may be determined from time to
time by the Manager to reflect Company's financial success and Executive's
contribution to it.

     5.  Fringe Benefits.  Executive will be provided with such fringe benefits,
         ---------------                                                        
including but not being limited to participation in such pension and group life,
disability and medical insurance plans, as may be generally afforded other
management personnel of Company.

                                      -2-

 
     In addition to such fringe benefits, Executive will be eligible to
participate in a profit-sharing or equity participation plan currently being
developed for intended implementation on February 1, 1994, which will provide
additional compensation to Executive based on annual profits of Company.

     6.  Vacation.  Executive will be permitted to take reasonable amounts of
         --------                                                            
vacation in accordance with such policies as may be adopted from time to time by
Company's Manager.

     7.  Confidential Information.  Except as required in the performance of his
         ------------------------                                               
duties under this Agreement, Executive will not at any time, directly or
indirectly, use or disclose any confidential information of Company which
Executive may receive or obtain while in the employment of Company.  Immediately
upon termination of Executive's employment with Company, Executive shall deliver
to Company all records and other things, including copies, containing
confidential information of Company, then within Executive's possession or
control, whether prepared by Executive or others.

     8.  Assignment of Developments.  Any new information, idea or thing
         --------------------------                                     
(whether or not patentable) relating to Company's present or planned business
and conceived or suggested by Executive alone or in conjunction with others
during or as result of Executive's employment by Company ("Development") shall
be the

                                      -3-

 
property of Company, free of any rights on the part of Executive.  During
Executive's employment and thereafter, Executive shall promptly make full
disclosure of each Development to Company and, at Company's request and expense,
do all acts and things (including without limitation the execution and delivery
under oath of patent and copyright applications and instruments of assignment)
deemed necessary or desirable by Company at any time to effect the full
assignment to Company of any right and title of Executive therein.

     9.  Non-Disturbance; Non-Competition.  During the term of this Agreement
         --------------------------------                                    
and for a period of one year after its termination, Executive will not, directly
or indirectly, disturb any business relationship between Company and its
employees, customers or suppliers or own, operate, or participate in the
ownership or operation of, or in any manner (whether as director, officer,
employee, partner, stockholder or otherwise) be connected with, any business
which is in competition with the drug benefit plan marketing and consulting
business or any other present or planned business of Company or any of its
subsidiaries.  The ownership of an equity or proprietary interest constituting
less than five percent of the entire equity or proprietary interest in a
corporation or other business entity will not be considered a breach of the
obligation set forth in this paragraph.  Executive agrees that Executive's
obligations

                                      -4-

 
hereunder may be enforced by temporary restraining order, injunction or other
appropriate court order.

     10.  Termination.
          ----------- 

     10.1  Executive's employment will terminate on the earlier of:

     (a)  The date of termination set forth in Paragraph 2 hereof (unless the
parties permit Executive's employment to continue on a month-to-month basis as
hereinbefore provided, then upon the date of the termination of the month-to-
month employment);

     (b)  Any date of termination agreed to by the parties in writing;

     (c)  The date of Executive's death;

     (d)  At the election of Company, if by reason of physical or mental
disability, Executive is unable to perform his duties hereunder for a total of
90 days in any 12 month period;

     (e)  At the election of Company, if Executive engages in any dishonest,
disloyal or illegal conduct or breaches any material provision of this
Agreement;

                                      -5-

 
     (f)  At the election of Company, if Executive is determined to be
performing his duties under this Agreement in an unsatisfactory manner following
thirty days notice by Company to Executive;

     (g)  At the election of Company, if the Company and Tennessee Pharmacy
Services, Inc. ("RxCare of Tennessee") fail to enter into a definitive
agreement, providing for Company to perform certain obligations of RxCare of
Tennessee under existing and future contracts between RxCare of Tennessee and
various managed care organizations and pharmacies participating in the Tennessee
TennCare Health Benefit Program ("TennCare"); or

     (h)  At the election of Company, upon termination, expiration or
modification of government funding for TennCare or of the HCFA waiver for
TennCare.

     10.2  Company may terminate Executive's employment pursuant to Paragraph
10.1(d)-(h) hereof by notice given by Company to Executive designating a date
upon which the employment terminates.  A good faith determination by the Manager
that grounds exist to terminate Executive under Paragraph 10.1(d)-(h) will be
conclusive and binding on Executive.

     10.3  Upon the termination of Executive's employment under Paragraph
10.1(f)-(h), Executive will be entitled to monthly

                                      -6-

 
payments equal to one-twelfth of his annual salary, less applicable withholding
and deductions, for a period equal to three months or the remainder of the
period set forth in Paragraph 2, whichever is shorter.

     10.4  Except as provided in Paragraph 10.3, upon termination of Executive's
employment, Executive will be entitled to receive only his accrued and unpaid
compensation to the effective date of such termination excluding, in the event
of termination prior to the date set forth in Paragraph 2, any accrued and
unpaid interest in the profits of Company under any profit sharing or other
arrangement.

     11.  Notices.  All notices required or permitted to be given under this
          -------                                                           
Agreement will be in writing and will be delivered personally or will be sent

          ----------                                                     
Agreement may not be assigned.  The rights and obligations of Company under this

                            STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT-I
                            ------------------------


     STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT dated as of May 30, 1996 between E. David Corvese
("Corvese") and John H. Klein ("Optionee").

     WHEREAS, Corvese currently is the holder of 5,360,000 shares (the "Shares")
of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, of MIM Corporation ("MIM");

     WHEREAS, MIM has determined to pursue a business strategy that emphasizes
the promotion of the distribution of generic drugs through exclusive contracts
with generic manufacturers;

     WHEREAS, Optionee has several years of experience relating to the
manufacture, marketing and distribution of generic drugs;

     WHEREAS, Corvese believes that Optionee's experience, know-how, extensive
relationships within the generic drug industry, and strategic plans relating to
the generic drug industry, as well as contracts under negotiation relating to
the drug distribution business, are necessary to MIM's business strategy and
that the combination thereof would enable MIM to capitalize on the present and
expected conditions in the pharmaceutical and health care industries, thereby
substantially contributing to the growth, profitability and over-all success of
MIM; and

     WHEREAS, in order to induce Optionee to so combine his experience, know-
how, relationships and strategic plans, as well as the contracts under
negotiation, with that of MIM, Corvese desires to grant to Optionee the right
and option to acquire 1,800,000 Shares (the "Option Shares") upon and subject to
the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set
forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the legal sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound
hereby, agree as follows:

     1.  Grant of Option.  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this
         ---------------                                                  
Agreement, Corvese hereby grants to Optionee the right and option to acquire all
or part of the Option Shares (the "Option") for the price and on the other terms
specified below.

     (b) Corvese represents to Optionee that (i) the Option Shares have been
duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and (ii)
Corvese has good and unencumbered title to the Option Shares and, upon exercise
of the Option in accordance with the terms hereof, Corvese will convey to
Optionee good title to the Option Shares to which the Option is so exercised,
free and clear of any and all security interests, claims, liens or encumbrances.

 
     2.  Price.  The price per share (the "Option Price") of the Option Shares
         -----                                                                
shall be $.10.

     3.  Exercisability.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
         --------------                                                         
the Option shall be exercisable by Optionee at any time and from time to time,
in whole or in part, in the manner specified below on or before the Termination
Time specified below.  Upon receipt of the Option Shares after exercise of the
Option, Optionee shall be deemed to be the owner of such Option Shares and shall
be entitled to all of the benefits and rights associated with the ownership
thereof.

     4.  Term.  The Option shall terminate, to the extent not exercised, on the
         ----                                                                  
earliest to occur of the following (the "Termination Time"): (a) at 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time on May 30, 2006 or (b) the time specified in Section 7(b) hereof.

     5.  Method of Exercising Option.  Subject to the terms and conditions of
         ---------------------------                                         
this Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written notice to Corvese at his
principal office, which is presently located at The Lily Pads Professional
Center, P.O. Box 3689, 25 North Road, Peace Dale, Rhode Island  02883.  Such
notice shall be given and received, as specified in Section 8 hereof, prior to
the Termination Time; shall state the election to exercise the Option and the
number of Option Shares with respect to which it is being exercised; shall be
signed by the person or persons so exercising the Option; shall (unless Corvese
otherwise agrees) be accompanied by a representation that the Option Shares
being acquired upon exercise of the Option are being acquired for investment and
not with a view to the distribution thereof; and shall be accompanied by payment
of the full Option Price of such Option Shares.  The Option Price shall be paid
in cash or by bank or cashier's check.  Upon receipt of such notice and payment,
Corvese, as promptly as practicable, shall cause to be delivered by the transfer
agent for MIM a certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares with
respect to which the Option is so exercised, free and clear of any and all
security interests, claims, liens or encumbrances.  The certificate or
certificates for such Option Shares shall be registered in the name of the
person or persons so exercising the Option (or, if the Option is exercised by
the Optionee and if Optionee shall so request in the notice exercising the
Option, shall be registered in the name of Optionee and his spouse, jointly,
with right of survivorship) and shall be delivered as provided above to or upon
the written order of the person or persons exercising the Option.  In the event
the Option shall be exercised, to the extent permitted hereunder,  by any person
or persons after legal disability or death of Optionee, such notice shall be
accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to
exercise the Option.

     6.  Non-Transferability of Option.  The Option is not assignable or
         -----------------------------                                  
transferable, in whole or in part, by Optionee otherwise than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution and during the lifetime of Optionee, the Option
shall be exercisable only by him or by his guardian or legal representative.

                                       2

 
     7.  Adjustment and Certain Termination Events.  (a) The number and kind of
         -----------------------------------------                             
securities purchasable upon exercise of the Option (as well as the exercise
price per share) shall be equitably adjusted to reflect any stock dividend,
stock split, share combination, or similar change in the capitalization of MIM
occurring subsequent to the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event
shall Optionee be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Option any dividends
or distributions which may have been actually made or paid on the Option Shares
prior to the date of exercise of the Option.

     (b) In the event of the merger or consolidation of MIM with, or the sale or
other disposition, directly or indirectly, of substantially all of the business
and assets of MIM on a consolidated basis to, an "Unrelated Third-Party" (i.e.,
a party who is not an affiliate, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of MIM), the Option shall terminate at the
effective time of such merger, consolidation or sale; provided, however, that if
                                                      --------  -------         
(i) in connection with such merger, consolidation or sale Optionee receives
solely equity securities (or cash in lieu of fractional shares) of such
Unrelated Third-Party or an affiliate thereof and (ii) such merger,
consolidation or sale does not create or result in any tax liability or
obligation for or on the part of Optionee in respect of the Option, then the
Option shall continue, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
and Corvese shall, without payment of any additional consideration therefor,
execute a new option providing that Optionee shall have the right to exercise
such new option (upon terms not less favorable to Optionee than those then
applicable to the Option) and to receive upon such exercise, in lieu of each
share of Common Stock of MIM therefore issuable upon exercise of the Option, the
kind and amount of shares of stock receivable upon such consolidation, merger or
sale by Optionee of one share of Common Stock of MIM issuable upon exercise of
the Option had the Option been exercised immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger or sale.

     8.  Notices.  All notices or other communications permitted or required
         -------                                                            
under this Option shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if and
when hand delivered or shall be deemed to be sufficiently given on the date
shown on the receipt or confirmation therefor if and when sent by documented
overnight delivery service or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,
return receipt requested, or by telegram, telex or telecopy, receipt
acknowledged, if to Corvese, at the address specified in Section 5 hereof, and
if to Optionee, at the address set forth after his name on the signature page
hereof, or to such other person or persons and/or at such other address or
addresses as shall be furnished in writing by any party hereto to the others.
If Corvese's principal office address set forth in Section 5 hereof changes at
any time, Corvese shall give written notice thereof to Optionee setting forth
the new address for which notice shall be given upon exercise of the Option in
accordance with Section 5 hereof.

     STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT dated as of May 30, 1996 between E. David Corvese
("Corvese") and John H. Klein ("Optionee").

     WHEREAS, Corvese currently is the holder of 5,360,000 shares (the "Shares")

     WHEREAS, MIM has determined to pursue a business strategy that emphasizes
the promotion of the distribution of generic drugs through exclusive contracts
with generic manufacturers;

     WHEREAS, Optionee has several years of experience relating to the
manufacture, marketing and distribution of generic drugs;

     WHEREAS, Corvese believes that Optionee's experience, know-how, extensive
relationships within the generic drug industry, and strategic plans relating to
the generic drug industry, as well as contracts under negotiation relating to
the drug distribution business, are necessary to MIM's business strategy and
that the combination thereof would enable MIM to capitalize on the present and
expected conditions in the pharmaceutical and health care industries, thereby
substantially contributing to the growth, profitability and over-all success of
MIM; and

     WHEREAS, in order to induce Optionee to so combine his experience, know-
how, relationships and strategic plans, as well as the contracts under
negotiation, with that of MIM, Corvese desires to grant to Optionee the right
and option to acquire 1,860,000 Shares (the "Option Shares") upon and subject to
the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set
forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the legal sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound
hereby, agree as follows:

     1.  Grant of Option.  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this
         ---------------                                                  
Agreement, Corvese hereby grants to Optionee the right and option to acquire all
or part of the Option Shares (the "Option") for the price and on the other terms
specified below.

     (b) Corvese represents to Optionee that (i) the Option Shares have been
duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and (ii)
Corvese has good and unencumbered title to the Option Shares and, upon exercise
of the Option in accordance with the terms hereof, Corvese will convey to
Optionee good title to the Option Shares to which the Option is so exercised,
free and clear of any and all security interests, claims, liens or encumbrances.

 
     2.  Price.  The price per share (the "Option Price") of the Option Shares
         -----                                                                
shall be $.10.

     3.  Exercisability.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
         --------------                                                         
the Option shall be exercisable by Optionee at any time and from time to time,
in whole or in part, in the manner specified below on or before the Termination
Time specified below.  Except as otherwise provided in the Repurchase Agreement
dated the date hereof among the parties hereto, upon receipt of the Option
Shares after exercise of the Option, Optionee shall be deemed to be the owner of
such Option Shares and shall be entitled to all of the benefits and rights
associated with the ownership thereof.

     4.  Term.  The Option shall terminate, to the extent not exercised, on the
         ----                                                                  
earliest to occur of the following (the "Termination Time"): (a) the time
specified in Section 7(b) hereof or (b) at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on (i) March

to expire pursuant to Optionee's employment agreement with MIM, dated the date
hereof, unless Optionee remains in the employ of MIM after such date; (ii) if
Optionee continues to be employed by MIM after March 31, 2000, the date upon
which Optionee's employment with MIM terminates for any reason, including by
MIM's Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion, unless such
termination occurs after the fifth anniversary of this Agreement, (iii) the date
upon which Optionee voluntarily terminates his employment with MIM, unless such
termination occurs after the fifth anniversary of this Agreement, (iv) May 30,
1997, unless prior to such date MIM has consummated the initial public offering
of its common stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (v) May 30,

     5.  Method of Exercising Option.  Subject to the terms and conditions of
         ---------------------------                                         
this Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written notice to Corvese at his
principal office, which is presently located at The Lily Pads Professional
Center, P.O. Box 3689, 25 North Road, Peace Dale, Rhode Island  02883.  Such
notice shall be given and received, as specified in Section 8 hereof, prior to
the Termination Time; shall state the election to exercise the Option and the
number of Option Shares with respect to which it is being exercised; shall be
signed by the person or persons so exercising the Option; shall (unless Corvese
otherwise agrees) be accompanied by a representation that the Option Shares
being acquired upon exercise of the Option are being acquired for investment and
not with a view to the distribution thereof; and shall be accompanied by payment
of the full Option Price of such Option Shares.  The Option Price shall be paid
in cash or by bank or cashier's check.  Upon receipt of such notice and payment,
Corvese, as promptly as practicable, shall cause to be delivered by the transfer
agent for MIM a certificate or certificates representing the Option Shares with
respect to which the Option is so exercised, free and clear of any and all
security interests, claims, liens or encumbrances.  The certificate or
certificates for such Option Shares shall be registered in the name of the
person or persons so exercising the Option (or, if the Option is exercised by
the Optionee and if Optionee shall so request in the notice exercising the
Option, shall be registered in the name of Optionee and his spouse, jointly,
with right of survivorship) and shall be delivered as provided above to or upon
the 

                                       2

 
written order of the person or persons exercising the Option. In the event
the Option shall be exercised, to the extent permitted hereunder, by any person
or persons after legal disability or death of Optionee, such notice shall be
accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to
exercise the Option.

     6.  Non-Transferability of Option.  The Option is not assignable or
         -----------------------------                                  
transferable, in whole or in part, by Optionee otherwise than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution and during the lifetime of Optionee, the Option
shall be exercisable only by him or his guardian or legal representative.

     7.  Adjustments and Certain Termination Events.  (a) The number and kind of
         ------------------------------------------                             
securities purchasable upon exercise of the Option (as well as the exercise
price per share) shall be equitably adjusted to reflect any stock dividend,
stock split, share combination, or similar change in the capitalization of MIM
occurring subsequent to the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event
shall Optionee be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Option any dividends
or distributions which may have been actually made or paid on the Option Shares
prior to the date of exercise of the Option.

        (b) In the event of the merger or consolidation of MIM with, or the sale
or other disposition, directly or indirectly, of substantially all of the
business and assets of MIM on a consolidated basis to, an "Unrelated Third-
Party" (i.e., a party who is not an affiliate, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of MIM), the Option shall
terminate at the effective time of such merger, consolidation or sale; provided,
                                                                       -------- 
however, that if (i) in connection with such merger, consolidation or sale
- -------
Optionee receives solely equity securities (or cash in lieu of fractional
shares) of such Unrelated Third-Party or an affiliate thereof and (ii) such
merger, consolidation or sale does not create or result in any tax liability or
obligation for or on the part of Optionee in respect of the Option, then the
Option shall continue, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
and Corvese shall, without payment of any additional consideration therefor,
execute a new option providing that Optionee shall have the right to exercise
such new option (upon terms not less favorable to Optionee than those then
applicable to the Option) and to receive upon such exercise, in lieu of each
share of Common Stock of MIM therefore issuable upon exercise of the Option, the
kind and amount of shares of stock receivable upon such consolidation, merger or
sale by Optionee of one share of Common Stock of MIM issuable upon exercise of
the Option had the Option been exercised immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger or sale.

     8.  Notices.  All notices or other communications permitted or required
         -------                                                            
under this Option shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if and
when hand delivered or shall be deemed to be sufficiently given on the date
shown on the receipt or confirmation therefor if and when sent by documented
overnight delivery service or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,
return receipt requested, or by telegram, telex or telecopy, receipt
acknowledged, if to Corvese, at the address specified in Section 5

signature page hereof, or to such other person or persons and/or at such other
address or addresses as shall be furnished in writing by any party hereto to the
others. If Corvese's principal office address set forth in Section 5 hereof
changes at any time, Corvese shall give written notice thereof to Optionee
setting forth the new address for which notice shall be given upon exercise of
the Option in accordance with Section 5 hereof.

     9.   Absence of Rights.  Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder
          -----------------                                                 
with respect to any Option Shares covered by the Option unless and until
Optionee receives the Option Shares upon exercise thereof.

     10.  Restrictions on Transfers of Option Shares.  Corvese shall not sell,
          ------------------------------------------                          
transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, or encumber, the Option Shares prior
to the Termination Time, except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Corvese shall, for so long as the Option shall remain in effect, cause one or
more certificates of common stock of MIM representing the Option Shares as to
which Optionee has not exercised the Option to bear legends substantially as
follows:

          "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO AN OPTION SET FORTH
          IN A STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MAY 30, 1996, BETWEEN E.

                              REPURCHASE AGREEMENT
                              --------------------


          THIS REPURCHASE AGREEMENT is entered into as of May 30, 1996 between
E. David Corvese ("Corvese") and John H. Klein ("Klein").

          WHEREAS, Corvese has granted to Klein an option (the "Option") to
purchase 1,860,000 shares (the "Option Shares") of common stock of MIM
Corporation ("MIM") pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement dated as of the date
hereof (the "Option Agreement"), which grant was expressly conditioned upon
Klein entering into this Repurchase Agreement; and

          WHEREAS, Klein and Corvese desire to set forth in this Agreement the
terms and conditions under which a certain option of Corvese to repurchase
Option Shares purchased by John Klein under the Option may be exercised.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
agree as follows:

          SECTION 1.   Repurchase Option.  (a) For a period of three (3) months
                       -----------------                                       
commencing seven (7) months after the occurrence of an event specified in
Section 4(b)(i), 4(b)(ii), 4(b)(iii) or 4(b)(iv) of the Option Agreement (the
"Triggering Event"), Corvese shall have, subject to Sections 1(b) and 4(b)
hereof, the right and option to repurchase all or part of the Option Shares
purchased by Klein under the Option (the "Repurchase Option") for a purchase
price of $.10 per share, exercisable by written notice thereof to Klein (the
"Exercise Notice") within such three (3) month period.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
1, if MIM obtains the level of annual consolidated net income (determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied
from year to year, and after taxes and extraordinary charges) set forth below in
any one fiscal year (and not on a cumulative basis), then the corresponding
number of Option Shares shall not be subject to the Repurchase Option:

 
                                       Number of Option Shares/1/
                             ----------------------------------------------
      MIM Net Income          Not Subject to                 Subject to
 Obtained in a Fiscal Year   Repurchase Option            Repurchase Option
- ---------------------------  ----------------------------------------------

        $ 5 million                 620,000                 1,240,000
        $10 million               1,240,000                   620,000
        $15 million               1,860,000                         0

          SECTION 2.  Closing.  Corvese shall set forth in the Exercise Notice
                      -------                                                 
the date and time of closing for the purchase pursuant to the exercise of the
Repurchase Option, which date shall be at least five but not more than fifteen
days after said notice.  The closing of the purchase of Option Shares by Corvese
pursuant to the Repurchase Option shall take place at Corvese's principal
office, which is presently located at The Lily Pads Professional Center, P.O.
Box 3689, 25 North Road, Peace Dale, Rhode Island  02883.  At such closing,
Corvese shall deliver cash or a bank or cashier's check in the appropriate
amount to the Klein against delivery of certificates representing the Option
Shares so purchased, duly endorsed for transfer upon exercise of the Repurchase
Option, Klein shall deliver to Corvese good title to the Option Shares so
purchased, free and clear of any and all security interests, claims, liens or
encumbrances.

          SECTION 3.  Restrictions on Transfer of Option Shares.  Except as
                      -----------------------------------------            
otherwise provided in the last sentence of this Section 3, Klein agrees that for
a period of six (6) years following the date hereof, he shall not sell, offer
for sale, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of or transfer or encumber any
Option Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option (herein a "transfer").
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, Klein may transfer
without regard to the foregoing restrictions (a) the number of Option Shares
that are not subject to the Repurchase Option as provided in Section 1(b) above
and (b) all of the Option Shares upon and at the effective time of an event
specified in Section 4(b) hereof.

          SECTION 4.  Adjustments and Certain Termination Events.  (a) The
                      ------------------------------------------          
number and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of the Repurchase Option
(as well as the exercise price per share) shall be equitably adjusted to reflect
any stock dividend, stock split, share combination, or similar change in the
capitalization of MIM occurring subsequent to the date hereof; provided,
however, that in no event shall Corvese be entitled to receive upon exercise of
the Repurchase Option any dividends or distributions which may have been
actually made or paid on the Option Shares prior to the date of exercise of the
Repurchase Option.

  /1/For example, if MIM's net income for 1996 and 1997 was $12 million and $4
million, respectively, then 1,240,000 Option Shares would no longer be subject
to the Repurchase Option as of the end of 1996 and no additional Option Shares

stock split, share combination, or similar change in the capitalization of MIM
occurring subsequent to the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event
shall Optionee be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Option any dividends
or distributions which may have been actually made or paid on the Option Shares

solely equity securities (or cash in lieu of fractional shares) of such
Unrelated Third-Party or an affiliate thereof and (ii) such merger,
consolidation or sale does not create or result in any tax liability or
obligation for or on the part of Optionee in respect of the Option, then the
Option shall continue, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
and Corvese shall, without payment of any additional consideration therefor,
execute a new option providing that Optionee shall have the right to exercise
such new option (upon terms not less favorable to Optionee than those then
applicable to the Option) and to receive upon such exercise, in lieu of each
share of Common Stock of MIM therefore issuable upon exercise of the Option, the
kind and amount of shares of stock receivable upon such consolidation, merger or
sale by Optionee of one share of Common Stock of MIM issuable upon exercise of
the Option had the Option been exercised immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger or sale.

     7.  Adjustment and Certain Termination Events.  (a) The number and kind of
         -----------------------------------------                             
securities purchasable upon exercise of the Option (as well as the exercise
price per share) shall be equitably adjusted to reflect any stock dividend,
stock split, share combination, or similar change in the capitalization of MIM
occurring subsequent to the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event
shall Optionee be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Option any dividends
or distributions which may have been actually made or paid on the Option Shares
prior to the date of exercise of the Option.

     (b) In the event of the merger or consolidation of MIM with, or the sale or
other disposition, directly or indirectly, of substantially all of the business
and assets of MIM on a consolidated basis to, an "Unrelated Third-Party" (i.e.,
a party who is not an affiliate, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of MIM), the Option shall terminate at the
effective time of such merger, consolidation or sale; provided, however, that if
                                                      --------  -------         
(i) in connection with such merger, consolidation or sale Optionee receives
solely equity securities (or cash in lieu of fractional shares) of such
Unrelated Third-Party or an affiliate thereof and (ii) such merger,
consolidation or sale does not create or result in any tax liability or
obligation for or on the part of Optionee in respect of the Option, then the
Option shall continue, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
and Corvese shall, without payment of any additional consideration therefor,
execute a new option providing that Optionee shall have the right to exercise
such new option (upon terms not less favorable to Optionee than those then
applicable to the Option) and to receive upon such exercise, in lieu of each
share of Common Stock of MIM therefore issuable upon exercise of the Option, the
kind and amount of shares of stock receivable upon such consolidation, merger or
sale by Optionee of one share of Common Stock of MIM issuable upon exercise of
the Option had the Option been exercised immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger or sale.

     8.  Notices.  All notices or other communications permitted or required
         -------

shown on the receipt or confirmation therefor if and when sent by documented
overnight delivery service or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,

acknowledged, if to Corvese, at the address specified in Section 5 hereof, and
if to Optionee, at the address set forth after his name on the signature page
hereof, or to such other person or persons and/or at such other address or
addresses as shall be furnished in writing by any party hereto to the others.
If Corvese's principal office address set forth in Section 5 hereof changes at
any time, Corvese shall give written notice thereof to Optionee setting forth
the new address for which notice shall be given upon exercise of the Option in
accordance with Section 5 hereof.

                                       3

 
     9.   Absence of Rights.  Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder
          -----------------                                                 
with respect to any Option Shares covered by the Option unless and until
Optionee receives the Option Shares upon exercise thereof.

     10.  Restrictions on Transfers of Option Shares.  Corvese shall not sell,
          ------------------------------------------                          
transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, or encumber, the Option Shares prior
to the Termination Time, except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Corvese shall, for so long as the Option shall remain in effect, cause one or
more certificates of common stock of MIM representing the Option Shares as to
which Optionee has not exercised the Option to bear legends substantially as
follows:

          SUBSTANCE TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT VIOLATE THE SECURITIES ACT

          -------       
Tenant leases and takes from the Landlord, the Leased Premises, together with
all of Landlord's non-exclusive rights to use the Common Elements and Limited
Common Elements, as provided in the Declaration.

     3.   Term.  To have and to hold Leased Premises unto the Tenant for and
          ----                                                              
during the term of ten (10) years, beginning on December 1, 1994 and ending on
November 31, 2004.

     4.   Rent.  The Tenant will pay to the Landlord, at the address hereinafter
          ----                                                                  
specified, rent at the annual rate of Forty Thousand Six Hundred Eighty Dollars
($40,680.00), in equal monthly installments of Three Thousand Three Hundred
Ninety Dollars ($3,390.00) each, payable in advance on the first business day of
each month, with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per year on any
unpaid installments.  Rent payable for any partial month will be prorated on a
daily basis.

     5.   Additional Rent.
          --------------- 

     5.1  As additional rent, the Tenant will reimburse Landlord for Tenant's
proportionate share of Property Taxes and condominium fees and pay directly to
the relevant outside contractors and vendors its proportionate share of all
other Operating Expenses.  Tenant's proportionate share will be determined by
multiplying each item by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the rentable
square feet contained in the Leased Premises and the denominator of which will
be the rentable square

                                      -2-

 
feet contained in the Building (both of which are specified on Exhibit A).
                                                               ---------  

     5.2  For the purposes of this lease, the rentable square feet contained in
the Leased Premises will be determined by measuring from the inside surface of
exterior windows and walls to the finished surface of corridor partitions or to
the center of partitions that separate the Leased Premises from adjacent space
and will include any interior columns, walls, ducts and spaces, and, if the
Tenant occupies or has the exclusive right thereto, any hallways, stairs, toilet
facilities, closets, telephone booths and other spaces within the Leased
Premises.  The rentable square feet contained in the Building is the aggregate
of all rentable square feet contained in the Building determined as described in
the preceding sentence.

     5.3  Tenant will pay the additional rent provided herein monthly, within
five (5) DAYS after the end of each month.  Property Taxes and Operating
Expenses payable hereunder for the calendar year in which this lease commences
or terminates will be prorated on the basis of a 365 day year, the Tenant paying
the Tenant's proportionate share of these items for the calendar year in which
this lease commences or terminates in proportion to that part of the calendar
year during which the Tenant has possession of the Leased Premises.  With
respect to the calendar year during which this lease terminates, Property Taxes
and Operating Expenses will be estimated by the Landlord.

     6.   Permitted Use; Compliance with Laws, etc..  The Tenant will use the
          -----------------------------------------                          
Leased Premises for general office purposes, unless the prior written consent of
the Landlord to a different use is obtained.  The Tenant will promptly observe
and comply with all present and future laws, ordinances, requirements, orders,
directives, rules and regulations of federal, state, city and town governments
and all other governmental authorities or any national or local Board of Fire
Insurance Underwriters affecting the Leased Premises or the Tenant's use
thereof.  The Tenant will indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord from and
against any and all penalties or damages charged to or imposed upon it or for
any violation of any such laws, ordinances, rules or regulations.  The Tenant
will not use, or permit the use of, the Leased Premises for any purpose which
would cause the premiums on the fire and casualty insurance on the Building to
be increased or create a forfeiture or prevent renewal of such insurance.  The
Tenant will not use, or permit the use of, the Leased Premises for any improper,
offensive or unlawful purpose.

     7.   Repairs and Maintenance.
          ----------------------- 

     7.1  The Landlord will maintain in good condition, and will make all
replacements and repairs to, the roof, exterior and structural components of the
Building and the Landlord will

                                      -3-

 
maintain in good condition and keep clean the halls, stairways and other areas
in the Building used in common by all tenants, provided, however that the
Landlord will not be responsible for any repairs and maintenance made necessary
by acts of the Tenant or the Tenant's agents.

     7.2  The Tenant will:  (i) be responsible for repairs and maintenance made
necessary by acts of the Tenant or the Tenant's agents, and (ii) maintain in
good condition and keep clean the interior of the Leased Premises (including the
replacement of glass in windows and doors).

     8.   Alterations and Improvements.  The Tenant has expended approximately
          ----------------------------                                        
$424,000 for alterations and improvements to the Leased Premises in anticipation
of this lease.  Tenant may make any further alterations or improvements to the
Leased Premises which do not materially impair or diminish the rental value of
the Leased Premises and the Building.  All such alterations and improvements
will be subject to the Landlord's prior approval of plans and specifications and
such reasonable conditions (affecting, among other things, the obtaining of
required permits and authorizations, the selection of an architect or engineer,
the prompt completion of the alteration or improvement, the payment for labor
and materials supplied in connection with the same, evidence of contractor's
insurance, and contractor's performance and payment bond) as the Landlord deems
appropriate.  All alterations and improvements will become the property of the
Landlord.

     9.   Tenant's Trade Fixtures.
          ----------------------- 

     9.1  For the purposes of this lease, "Tenant's Trade Fixtures" means
machinery, equipment and other items of personal property owned by the Tenant
and especially designed or fitted for use in its trade or business which:  (i)
will not be affixed or incorporated into the Leased Premises in such manner that
their removal will cause substantial damage to the structure of the Building,
and (ii) will, after removal, have a value significantly exceeding the cost of
removal.

     9.2  The Tenant may install Tenant's Trade Fixtures in the Leased Premises
provided that the same will not materially impair or diminish the rental value
of the leased premises.  Tenant's Trade Fixtures will, notwithstanding the
manner of their installation, remain the property of the Tenant and will be
removed by the Tenant upon the termination of this lease.  The Tenant will
repair any damage to the Leased Premises occasioned by the removal of the
Tenant's Trade Fixtures.  Any of Tenant's Trade Fixtures left on the Leased
Premises upon the termination of this lease, at the election of the Landlord,
may be (i) removed at the Tenant's expense and sold, stored or discarded, or

                                      -4-

 
(ii) deemed to have been abandoned and to be the property of the Landlord.

     10.  Public Liability Insurance; Indemnity.
          ------------------------------------- 

     10.1  The Tenant will obtain and pay for general comprehensive public
liability insurance insuring the Landlord and the Tenant against loss from and
liability for damages on account of loss or injury suffered by any person or
property within or upon the Leased Premises, the coverage and protection of such
insurance to be in the amount specified on Exhibit A. Limits of such liability
                                           ---------                          
insurance will be reviewed annually and increased if independent insurance
advisors selected by the Landlord so advise.

     10.2  The Tenant will indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord from and
against all loss, cost or damage (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
sustained by the Landlord on account of:  (i) damage to property or injury to
persons resulting from any accident or other occurrence on or about the Leased
Premises, (ii) damage to property or injury to persons resulting from activities
of the Tenant on or about the Leased Premises or elsewhere, or (iii) the
Tenant's failure to perform or fulfill any term, condition or agreement
contained or referred to herein on the part of the Tenant to be performed or
fulfilled.

     11.  Fire or Other Casualty.
          ---------------------- 

     11.1  If the Building or the Leased Premises or any part thereof are
damaged by fire or other casualty, the Landlord will forthwith commence and
continue with all reasonable diligence the repair of the same, provided,
however, that if the Landlord so elects then upon notice given to the Tenant not
later than 30 days after the casualty, the Landlord may terminate this lease as
of the date of the casualty and a proportionate part of the rent paid in advance
will be repaid to the Tenant.  If the repair of the damage to the Leased
Premises is expected to require more than 90 days from the date of the casualty
and the Tenant will be deprived of substantially all beneficial use of the
Leased Premises during that time, then upon notice given to the Landlord not
later than 30 days after the casualty, the Tenant may terminate this lease as of
the date of the casualty and a proportionate part of the rent paid in advance
will be repaid to the Tenant.  Until the Leased Premises are restored by the
Landlord, there will be an equitable adjustment of rent.

     11.2  The parties release each other from any claims for damage to any
person or to the Leased Premises and the Building and to the personal property,
fixtures, improvements and alterations of either the Landlord or the Tenant in
or on the Leased Premises and the Building that are caused by or result from
risks insured against under any insurance policies carried

                                      -5-

 
by or for the benefit of the parties and in force at the time of any such
damage.

     11.3  Alternatively, upon the request of either party, each party will
cause each fire or other casualty insurance policy obtained by it to provide
that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation
against either party in connection with any damage covered by any policy.  If
any such insurance policy cannot be obtained with a waiver of subrogation, or is
obtainable only by the payment of an additional premium charge above that
charged by insurance companies issuing policies without waiver of subrogation,
the party undertaking to obtain the insurance will notify the other party of
this fact.  The other party will have a period of 10 days after receiving the
notice either to place the insurance with a company that is reasonably
satisfactory to the other party and that will carry the insurance with a waiver
of subrogation, or to agree to pay the additional premium if such a policy is
obtainable at additional cost.  If the insurance cannot be obtained or the party
in whose favor a waiver of subrogation is desired refuses to pay the additional
premium charged, the other party is relieved of the obligation to obtain a
waiver of subrogation rights with respect to the particular insurance involved.

     11.4  The risk of loss of or damage to property of the Tenant on or about
the Leased Premises will be borne solely by the Tenant and neither the Landlord
nor any other tenant will have any liability for loss thereof or damage thereto.

     12.  Insurance Policies.  All insurance required under this lease will be
          ------------------                                                  
issued by companies satisfactory to the Landlord.  Each such policy will contain
a provision that no act or omission of the Tenant will affect or limit the
obligation of the insurer to pay on behalf of the Landlord the amount of the
loss sustained by, or claim made against, the Landlord, and, to the extent
obtainable, will contain an agreement by the insurer that such policy will not
be canceled without at least 20 days' prior written notice to be Landlord.

     13.  Subordination.  This lease will be subject and subordinate to any
          -------------                                                    
mortgage of the Building now of record or recorded after the date hereof.  Such
subordination is effective without any further act of the Tenant and the Tenant
will from time to time on request from the Landlord execute and deliver any
instruments that may be required by any lender to effect the subordination
provided for herein.  If the Tenant fails to execute and deliver any such
instrument, the Tenant irrevocably appoints the Landlord, with full power of
substitution, the Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any such
instrument.

                                      -6-

 
     14.  Condemnation.  If the Building is taken in condemnation proceedings or
          ------------                                                          
by exercise of any right of eminent domain, the Landlord will be entitled to
collect from the condemnor the entire award that may be made in any such
proceeding without deduction therefrom for any interest of the Tenant under this
lease (except such portion of any award as is specifically made for the Tenant's
moving expenses) and this lease will terminate as of the date of the taking.

     15.  Assignments and Subleases.  The Tenant will not assign or encumber its
          -------------------------                                             
interest in this lease or in the Leased Premises, or sublease all or any part of
the Leased Premises, or allow any other person, firm or corporation (except the
Tenant's authorized representatives) to occupy or use all or any part of the
Leased Premises, without first obtaining the Landlord's written consent.  Any
assignment, encumbrance or sublease without the Landlord's consent will be
voidable and, at the Landlord's election, will constitute a default under this
lease.  No permitted assignment or subleasing will in any way affect or reduce
any of the obligations of the Tenant under this lease.

     16.  Default and Remedies.
          -------------------- 

     16.1  The Tenant will be in default under this lease upon the occurrence of
any of the following events or conditions as to the Tenant or any guarantor of
the Tenant's obligations hereunder:  (i) the Tenant's failure to pay rent or
make the other payments at the times and in the manner provided for herein, such
failure having continued for a period of 5 days (no notice of such nonpayment
being required to be given by the Landlord); (ii) the Tenant's failure to
perform or fulfill any other term, condition or agreement contained or referred
to herein, on the part of the Tenant to be performed or fulfilled, such failure
having continued (no reasonable efforts having been made by the Tenant to
correct the same) for a period of 15 days after notice thereof shall have been
given by the Landlord to the Tenant; (iii) the Tenant's or any guarantor's being
adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or voluntarily or involuntarily taking advantage
of any of the provisions of the Bankruptcy Act, or making a general assignment
for the benefit of creditors, or a permanent receiver being appointed for its
property and estate or of any part thereof, or the leasehold interest hereby
created being levied upon by execution or taken by process of law; (iv) the
dissolution of the Tenant or any guarantor of the Tenant's obligations
hereunder; or (v) the Tenant's vacating the Leased Premises for 15 consecutive
days.

     16.2  In the event of default, it will be lawful for the Landlord
thereupon, or at any time thereafter, at the Landlord's option, and with or
without process of law, to terminate this lease and to enter upon the Leased
Premises and to expel the Tenant and those claiming under the Tenant, without
being guilty

                                      -7-

 
of any manner of trespass, and thenceforth peacefully and quietly hold and enjoy
the Leased Premises as if this lease had not been made; without prejudice,
however, to any right to sue for and recover any rent and other sums then due
under this lease, or to any claim for damages or right of action or remedy for
preceding breach of any covenant, agreement or condition herein contained which
the Landlord might otherwise have or use.

     16.3  In case of entry and termination of the lease as hereinabove
provided, the Tenant will pay to the Landlord as damages for the Tenant's breach
of the lease the amount by which the rent provided for the remainder of the term
exceeds the fair rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the
term.

     16.4  Or, in the event of default, alternatively, at the Landlord's option,
the Landlord may enter upon the Leased Premises as the agent of the Tenant, and
if the Landlord desires, expel the Tenant and those claiming under the Tenant,
without being guilty of any manner of trespass, and may rent the Leased Premises
as such agent, applying the net proceeds of such rentals on account of the rent
and other sums due from the Tenant, holding the Tenant liable for any
deficiency, and accounting to the Tenant for any surplus.

     16.5  In the event of default, this lease will not, except at the option of
the Landlord, continue for the benefit of any attaching creditor, assignee for
the benefit of creditors, permanent receiver, or trustee in bankruptcy.

     16.6  In the event of default, in addition to any other sums due to the
Landlord, the Tenant will pay the Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and all
other expenses incurred in connection with enforcing its rights hereunder.

     17.  Other Rights and Responsibilities of Landlord.
          --------------------------------------------- 

     17.1  The Landlord and its authorized representatives will have the right
to enter the Leased Premises at all reasonable times for any of the following
purposes:  (i) to determine whether the Leased Premises are in good condition
and whether the Tenant is complying with its obligations under this lease; (ii)
to give any notice required or permitted to be given to the Tenant hereunder;
(iii) to post "For Sale" or "For Lease" signs during the last six months of the
term or during any period while the Tenant is in default; (iv) to show the
Leased Premises to prospective brokers, agents, buyers, or tenants during the
last six months of the term or during any period while the Tenant is in default;
or (v) to do any necessary maintenance and to make any restoration or repairs to
the Leased Premises or the Building.

                                      -8-

 
     17.2  The Landlord will have the right to relocate or change any common
facility in the Building and any parking area adjacent thereto provided that
comparable facilities are provided.

     17.3  The Landlord will have the right to close doors, entryways and common
areas for the purpose of repairing, maintaining or altering the same so long as
reasonable access to the Leased Premises is provided.

     18.  Surrender; Holdover.
          ------------------- 

     18.1  At the termination of this lease, the Tenant will peaceably surrender
the Leased Premises in good order, condition and repair, excepting reasonable
wear and tear and excepting damage by fire or other casualty which has been
insured against.

     18.2  If the Tenant remains in possession of the Leased Premises after the
expiration of the term of this lease and continues to pay rent without any
express agreement as to holding over, the Landlord's acceptance of rent will be
deemed an acknowledgement of the Tenant's holding over upon a month-to-month
tenancy, subject, however, to all of the terms and conditions of this lease
except as to the term hereof.

     18.3  If the tenant remains in possession of the leased premises after the
expiration of the term of this lease, whether as a month-to-month tenant
pursuant to Paragraph 18.2 or otherwise, and the Landlord at any time declines
            --------------                                                    
to accept the rent at the rate specified herein, the Tenant's holding over
thereafter will be deemed to be as a tenant at sufferance.  The Tenant will
nevertheless be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this lease except
as to the term hereof and except that the tenant will pay a monthly rent double
the amount otherwise due hereunder and will pay all loss, cost or damage
(including attorneys' fees) sustained by the Landlord on account of such holding
over.

     19.  Quiet Environment.  Upon paying the rent and all other payments
          -----------------                                              
required to be made by the Tenant hereunder, and upon the Tenant's performing
and fulfilling all terms, conditions or agreements on its part to be performed
and fulfilled, the Tenant will quietly have and enjoy the Leased Premises during
the term of this lease without lawful hindrance by any person claiming by,
through or under the Landlord.

     20.  Waivers.  The failure of the Landlord to insist in any one or more
          -------                                                           
instances upon the strict and literal performances of any of the agreements,
terms, or conditions of this lease or to exercise any option of the Landlord
herein contained, will not be construed as a waiver for the future of such term,
condition, agreement or option.  The receipt by the Landlord of rent with
knowledge of the breach of any term, condition, or agreement will

                                      -9-

 
not be deemed to be a waiver of such breach.  The receipt by the Landlord of
rent after the giving of any notice required to be given to the Tenant by law or
by the terms of this lease will not in any way affect the operation of such
notice.

     21.  Notices.  No notice, approval, consent or other communication
          -------                                                      
permitted or required to be given by this lease will be effective unless the
same is sent postage prepaid, by United States registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, to the other party at the address first set forth
above, Attention:  President, or to such other address as either party may
designate by notice to the other party.

     22.  Governing Law.  This lease and the performance thereof will be
          -------------                                                 
governed, interpreted, construed and regulated by the laws of the State of Rhode
Island.

     23.  Successors and Assigns.  This lease will bind and enure to the benefit
          ----------------------                                                
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
References herein to the parties will be deemed to include their respective
successors and permitted assigns.

     24.  Entire Agreement.  This lease contains all of the agreements of the
          ----------------                                                   
parties and may not be modified or amended except by written agreement.

     25.  Compliance with Requirements of Condominium.  All capitalized terms
          -------------------------------------------                        
used in this paragraph shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Declaration.  The Tenant agrees to comply with the Declaration and Rules and
Regulations and agrees that a failure to comply will constitute a default under
this lease.  In the event of a default by Tenant under this lease, the Executive
Board will have the power to terminate this lease or bring summary proceedings
to evict the Tenant in the name of the Landlord after 45 days written notice
from the Landlord.  The provisions of this section shall supersede any provision
to the contrary in this lease.

     26.  Tenants' Rules and Regulations.  The Tenant will comply with rules and
          ------------------------------                                        
regulations attached to this lease as Exhibit B.  The Landlord will have the
                                      ---------                             
right from time to time to alter or amend the same.  Upon delivery of a copy of
the altered or amended rules and regulations to the Tenant, the Tenant will
become bound by them and will comply with the same.  If there is a conflict
between the rules and regulations and any of the provisions of this lease, the
provisions of this lease will prevail.  The Landlord will not be liable to the
Tenant for violation of any rules and regulations by other tenants.

                                      -10-

 
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Landlord and the Tenant have caused this instrument

                           1996 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
                           -------------------------


                              SECTION 1 - PURPOSE
                                          -------

        This MIM CORPORATION 1996 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN (the "Plan") is
intended to provide a means whereby MIM Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Company (as hereinafter
defined) may, through the grant of incentive stock options and non-qualified
stock options (collectively "Options") to Employees and Key Contractors (as
defined in Section 3), attract and retain such Employees and Key Contractors and
motivate them to exercise their best efforts on behalf of the Company and of any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate.

        As used in the Plan, the terms shall have the following meanings:

          "Affiliate" means any corporation, limited liability company,
partnership or other entity, including Subsidiaries, which is controlled by or
under common control with the Company;

          "incentive stock options" ("ISOs") means Options which qualify as
incentive stock options within the meaning of section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the "Code"), at the time
they are granted and which are either designated as ISOs in the Option
Agreements (as hereinafter defined) covering such Options or which are
designated as ISOs by the Committee (as defined in Section 2 hereof) at the time
of grant;
 
          "non-qualified stock options" ("NQSOs") means all Options granted
under the Plan other than ISOs; and

          "Subsidiary" means any corporation (whether or not in existence at the
time the Plan is adopted) which, at the time an Option is granted, is a
subsidiary of the Company under the definition of "subsidiary corporation"
contained in section 424(f) of the Code or any similar provision hereafter
enacted.
 

                          SECTION 2 - ADMINISTRATION
                                      --------------

          The Plan shall be administered by the Company's Compensation Committee
(the "Committee"), which shall consist of not less than two (2) directors of the
Company who shall be appointed by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the
Company's Board of Directors (the "Board").  Each member of such Committee,
while serving as such, shall be deemed to be acting in his or her capacity as a
director of the Company.  At all times on and after the date the Company first
registers Common Shares (as defined in Section 4 hereof) under Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), (i) each
member of the Committee shall be an "outside director" within the meaning of
Prop. Treas. Reg. (S) 1.162-27(e)(3) or any successor thereto and (ii), except
as otherwise permitted under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder, no member of the Committee shall have been granted
Awards (as defined below) pursuant to the Plan or options or equity securities
(within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(d) under the Exchange Act) pursuant to any
other plan of the Company or of any of its affiliates, as defined in or under
the Exchange Act, at any time during the period commencing with the date which
is one year prior to the date the member's service on the Committee began and
ending on the date which is one day after the date on which the member's service
on the Committee ceased.

          The Committee shall have full and final authority in its absolute
discretion, subject to the terms of the Plan, to select the persons ("Awardees")
to be granted ISOs and NQSOs (collectively "Awards") under the Plan, to grant
Awards on behalf of the Company, and to set the date of grant and the 

                                       3

 
other terms of such Awards. The Committee may correct any defect, supply any
omission and reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan and in any Award granted
hereunder in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable. The Committee
also shall have the authority to establish such rules and regulations, not
inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, for the proper administration of
the Plan, and to amend, modify or rescind any such rules and regulations, and to
make such determinations and interpretations under, or in connection with, the
Plan, as it deems necessary or advisable. All such rules, regulations,
determinations and interpretations shall be binding and conclusive upon the
Company, its shareholders and all officers and employees and former officers and
employees, and upon their respective legal representatives, beneficiaries,
successors and assigns and upon all other persons claiming under or through any
of them.

          No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action
or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award
granted hereunder.


                            SECTION 3 - ELIGIBILITY
                                        -----------

          The class of persons who shall be eligible to receive Awards under the
Plan shall be (i) the employees (including any directors and officers who also
are employees) of the Company and/or of a Subsidiary or other Affiliate
("Employees") and (ii) contractors of the Company and/or of a Subsidiary or
other Affiliate who the Committee believes have the capacity to contribute to
the success of the Company and/or a Subsidiary or other Affiliate ("Key
Contractors"), provided that:  (iii) members of the Committee, by virtue of
their status as members, shall not be eligible to receive Awards under the Plan
and (iv) ISOs shall be granted only to employees of the Company or of a
Subsidiary.  More than one Award may be granted to an Employee or Key Contractor
under the Plan.


                               SECTION 4 - STOCK
                                           -----

          The number of shares of the Company's $.0001 par value per share
Common Stock ("Common Shares") that may be subject to Awards under the Plan
shall be 4,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided:
provided, however, that no Awardee shall receive Options for more than 1,500,000
shares.  Shares issuable under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or
reacquired shares, as the Company may determine from time to time.

          Any Common Shares subject to an Option which expires or otherwise
terminates for any reason whatever (including, without limitation, the surrender
thereof by the Awardee) without having been exercised shall continue to be
available for the granting of Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that (a)
if an Option is cancelled, the Common Shares covered by the cancelled Option
shall be counted against the maximum number of shares specified in Section 4 for
which Options may be granted to a single Awardee, and (b) if the exercise price
of an Option is reduced after the date of grant, the transaction shall be
treated as a cancellation of the original Option and the grant of a new Option
for purposes of counting the maximum number of shares for which Options may be
granted to a single Awardee.


                           SECTION 5 - ANNUAL LIMIT
                                       ------------

          (a) ISOS. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date
              ----                                                            
     the ISO is granted) of the Common Shares with respect to which ISOs become
     exercisable for the first time by an Awardee during any calendar year
     (under this Plan and any other ISO plan of the Company or any parent
     corporation (within the meaning of section 424(e) of the Code ("Parent"))
     or Subsidiary) shall not exceed $100,000.  The term "Fair Market Value"
     shall mean the value of the Common Shares arrived at by a good faith
     determination of the Committee and shall be:

                                       4

 
          (1) the mean between the highest and lowest quoted selling price, if
there is a market for the Common Shares on a registered securities exchange or
in an over the counter market, on the date specified;

          (2) the weighted average of the means between the highest and lowest
sales on the nearest date before and the nearest date after the specified date,
if there are no such sales on the specified date but there are such sales on
dates within a reasonable period both before and after the specified date;

          (3) the mean between the bid and asked prices, as reported by the
National Quotation Bureau on the specified date, if actual sales are not
available during a reasonable period beginning before and ending after the
specified date; or

          (4) such other method of determining Fair Market Value as shall be
authorized by the Code, or the rules or regulations thereunder, and adopted by
the Committee.

          Where the Fair Market Value of Common Shares is determined under (2)
above, the average of the means between the highest and lowest sales on the
nearest date before and the nearest date after the specified date shall be
weighted inversely by the respective numbers of trading days between the dates
of reported sales and the specified date (i.e., the valuation date), in
accordance with Treas. Reg. (S) 20.2031-2(b)(1), or any successor thereto.

          (b) OPTIONS OVER ANNUAL LIMIT.  If an Option intended as an ISO is
              -------------------------                                     
     granted to an Awardee and such Option may not be treated in whole or in
     part as an ISO pursuant to the limitation in (a) above, such Option shall
     be treated as an ISO to the extent it may be so treated under such
     limitation and as a NQSO as to the remainder.  For purposes of determining
     whether an ISO would cause such limitation to be exceeded, ISOs shall be
     taken into account in the order granted.

          (c) NQSOS. The annual limit set forth above for ISOs shall not apply
              -----                                                           
to NQSOs.

                              SECTION 6 - OPTIONS
                                          -------

          (a) GRANTING OF OPTIONS.  From time to time until the expiration or
              -------------------                                            
earlier suspension or discontinuance of the Plan, the Committee may, on behalf
of the Company, grant to Awardees under the Plan such Options as it determines
are warranted, subject to the limitations of the Plan; provided, however, that
grants of ISOs and NQSOs shall be separate and not in tandem.  The granting of
an Option under the Plan shall not be deemed either to entitle the Awardee
receiving the Option to, or to disqualify the Awardee from, any participation in
any other grant of Awards under the Plan.  In making any determination as to
whether an Awardee shall be granted an Option and as to the number of shares to
be covered by such Option, the Committee shall take into account the duties of
the Awardee, the Committee's views as to his or her present and potential
contributions to the success of the Company or a Subsidiary or other Affiliate,
and such other factors as the Committee shall deem relevant in accomplishing the
purposes of the Plan.  Moreover, the Committee may determine that the Option
Agreement (as defined below) shall provide that said Option may be exercised
only if certain conditions, as determined by the Committee, are fulfilled.

                                       5

 
          (b) TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. The Options granted pursuant to
              -------------------------------                                 
the Plan shall expressly specify whether they are ISOs or NQSOs; however, if the
Option is not designated in the Option Agreement as an ISO or NQSO, the Option
shall constitute an ISO if it complies with the terms of section 422 of the
Code, and otherwise, it shall constitute an NQSO.  In addition, the Options
granted pursuant to the Plan shall include expressly or by reference the
following terms and conditions, as well as such other provisions not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan as the Committee shall deem
desirable, and for ISOs granted under this Plan, the provisions of section
422(b) of the Code:

               (1) NUMBER OF SHARES.  A statement of the number of Common Shares
                   ----------------                                             
          to which the Option pertains (or, except in the case of an ISO, of a
          formula or other method by which such number shall be then or
          thereafter objectively determinable) .

               (2) PRICE. A statement of the Option exercise price (or, except
                   -----                                                      
          in the case of an ISO, of a formula or method by which the exercise
          price shall be then or thereafter objectively determinable) which
          shall be determined and fixed by the Committee in its discretion at
          the time of grant, provided that, in the case of an ISO, the exercise
          price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the
          optioned Common Shares on the date the ISO is granted (or 110%, if the
          ISO is granted to a more than 10% shareholder per (9) below).

               (3)  TERM.
                    ---- 

                    (A) ISOS. Subject to earlier termination as provided in
                        ----                                               
               Subsections (5), (6) and (7) below, the term of each ISO shall be
               not more than 10 years (5 years in the case of a more than 10%
               shareholder as provided in (9) below) from the date of grant.

                    (B) NQSOS. Subject to earlier termination as provided in
                        -----                                               
               Subsections (5), (6) and (7) below, the term of each NQSO shall
               be not more than 15 years from the date of grant.

               (4)  EXERCISE.
                    -------- 

                    (A) GENERAL.  Options shall be exercisable in such
                        -------                                       
          installments and on such dates, commencing not less than 6 months and
          1 day from the date of grant (but, in the case of ISOs, not less than
          12 months from the date of grant ), as the Committee may specify,
          provided that:          

                         (i) in the case of new Options granted to an Awardee in
                    replacement for options (whether granted under the Plan or
                    otherwise) held by the Awardee, the new Options may be made
                    exercisable, if so determined by the Committee, in its
                    discretion, at the earliest date the replaced options were
                    exercisable; and

                         (ii) the Committee may accelerate the exercise date of
                    any outstanding Options in its discretion, if it deems such
                    acceleration to be desirable.

                    Any Common Shares, the right to the purchase of which has
               accrued under an Option, may be purchased at any time up to the
               expiration or termination of the Option.  Exercisable Options may
               be exercised, in whole or in part, from time to time by giving
               written notice of exercise to the Company at its 

                                       6

 
               principal office, specifying the number of Common Shares to be
               purchased and accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate
               Option exercise price for such shares. Only full shares shall be
               issued under the Plan and, if any fractional share would
               otherwise be issuable upon the exercise of an Option granted
               hereunder, the number of Common Shares issuable upon such
               exercise shall be rounded to the nearest whole share and the
               unexercised portion of such Option adjusted accordingly provided
               that in no event shall the total number of Common Shares issuable
               upon the full exercise of an Option exceed the number so
               specified for such Option under Section 6(b)(1) hereof.


                    (B) MANNER OF PAYMENT. The Option price shall be payable:\
                        -----------------                                     

                         (i)  in cash or its equivalent;

                         (ii) in the case of an ISO, if the Committee in its
                    discretion causes the Option Agreement so to provide and, in
                    the case of a NQSO, if the Committee in its discretion so
                    determines at or prior to the time of exercise, in Common
                    Shares previously acquired by the Awardee, provided that if
                    such shares were acquired through the exercise of an ISO and
                    are used to pay the Option exercise price of an ISO, such
                    shares have been held by the Awardee for a period of not
                    less than the holding period described in section 422(a)(1)
                    of the Code on the date of exercise, or if such Common
                    Shares were acquired through exercise of an NQSO or of an
                    option under a similar plan or through exercise of an ISO
                    and are used to pay the Option exercise price of an NQSO, or
                    if such Common Shares were acquired under an SAR, or through
                    the grant of Restricted or Unrestricted Stock, such shares
                    have been held by the Awardee for a period of more than 12
                    months on the date of exercise; or

                         (iii)  in the discretion of the Committee, in any
                    combination of (i) and (ii) above.

                    In the event such Option exercise price is paid, in whole or
               in part, with Common Shares, the portion of the Option exercise
               price so paid shall equal the Fair Market Value on the date of
               exercise of the Option of the Common Shares surrendered in
               payment of such Option exercise price.

               (5) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If an Awardee's employment as an
                   -------------------------                                  
          Employee or Key Contractor by the Company and Subsidiaries and, except
          in the case of ISOs, other Affiliates ("Employment") is terminated by
          either party prior to the expiration date fixed for his or her Option
          for any reason other than death or disability, such Option may be
          exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with respect to which
          the Awardee could have exercised it on the date of such termination,
          or to any greater extent permitted by the Committee, by the Awardee at
          any time prior to the earlier of:

                    (A) the expiration date specified in such Option; or

                    (B) in the case of an ISO, three months after the date of
               termination of the Awardee's Employment.

               (6) EXERCISE UPON DISABILITY OF AWARDEE.  If an Awardee shall
                   -----------------------------------                      
          become disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code)
          during his or her Employment and, prior to the expiration date fixed
          for his or her Option, such 

                                       7

 
          Employment is terminated as a consequence of such disability, such
          Option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with
          respect to which the Awardee could have exercised it on the date of
          such termination, or to any greater extent permitted by the Committee,
          by the Awardee at any time prior to the earlier of:

                    (A) the expiration date specified in such Option; or

                    (B) in the case of an ISO, one year after the date of
               termination of Awardee's Employment.

               In the event of the Awardee's legal disability, such Option may
          be so exercised by the Awardee's legal representative.

               (7) EXERCISE UPON DEATH OF AWARDEE. If an Awardee shall die
                   ------------------------------                         
          during his or her Employment and prior to the expiration date fixed
          for his or her Option, or if an Awardee whose Employment is terminated
          for any reason shall die following his or her termination of
          Employment but prior to the earliest of:

                    (A) the expiration date fixed for his or her Option;

                    (B) the expiration of the period determined under
               Subsections (5) and (6) above; or

                    (C) in the case of an ISO, three months following
               termination of Employment,

          such Option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares
          with respect to which the Awardee could have exercised it on the date
          of his or her death, or to any greater extent permitted by the
          Committee, by the Awardee's estate, personal representative or
          beneficiary who acquired the right to exercise such Option by bequest
          or inheritance or by reason of the death of the Awardee, at any time
          prior to the earlier of:

                         (i) the expiration date specified in such Option; or

                         (ii) in the case of an ISO, one year after the date of
                    death.

               (8) RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. An Awardee shall have no rights as a
                   -----------------------                                      
          shareholder with respect to any shares covered by his or her Option
          until the issuance of a stock certificate to him or her for such
          shares.

               (9) TEN PERCENT SHAREHOLDER. If an Awardee owns more than 10% of
                   -----------------------                                     
          the total combined voting power of all shares of stock of the Company
          or of a Subsidiary or Parent at the time an ISO is granted to such
          Awardee, the Option exercise price for the ISO shall be not less than
          110% of the Fair Market Value of the optioned Common Shares on the
          date the ISO is granted, and such ISO, by its terms, shall not be
          exercisable after the expiration of five years after the date the ISO
          is granted.  The conditions set forth in this Subsection (9) shall not
          apply to NQSOs.

                                       8

 
          (c)  OPTION AGREEMENTS.   Options granted under the Plan shall be
               -----------------                                           
     evidenced by written documents ("Option Agreements") in such form as the
     Committee shall, from time to time, approve, which Option Agreements shall
     contain such provisions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan
     and, in the case of an ISO, Section 422(b) of the Code, as the Committee
     shall deem advisable, and which Option Agreements shall specify whether the
     Option is an ISO or NQSO; provided, however, if the Option is not
     designated in the Option Agreement as an ISO or NQSO, the Option shall
     constitute an ISO if it complies with the terms of section 422 of the Code,
     and otherwise, it shall constitute an NQSO.  Each Awardee shall enter into,
     and be bound by, the terms of the Option Agreement.


                                 SECTION 7 - CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS
                                             -------------------

          The number of shares which may be issued under the Plan as stated in
Section 4 hereof, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding
Options under the Plan (as well as the Option exercise price per share under
such outstanding Options), and the number of shares issuable upon the vesting of
outstanding Restricted Stock Awards (as well as the purchase price, if any, for
such shares) shall, subject to the provisions of section 424(a) of the Code, be
adjusted, as may be deemed appropriate by the Committee, to reflect any stock
dividend, stock split, share combination, or similar change in the
capitalization of the Company.

          In the event of a corporate transaction as that term is described in
Section 424(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (a
"Corporate Transaction") (as, for example, a merger, consolidation, acquisition
of property or stock, separation, reorganization, or liquidation), each
outstanding Award shall be assumed by the surviving or successor corporation;
provided, however, that, in the event of a proposed Corporate Transaction, the
Committee may terminate all or a portion of the outstanding Options if it
determines that such termination is in the best interests of the Company.  If
the Committee decides to terminate outstanding Options, the Committee shall give
each Awardee holding an Option to be terminated not less than ten days' notice
prior to any such termination by reason of such a Corporate Transaction, and any
such Option which is to be so terminated may be exercised (if and only to the
extent that it is then exercisable) up to and including the date immediately
preceding such termination.  Further, as provided in Section 6(b)(4)(A)(ii)
hereof, the Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate, in whole or in part,
the date on which any or all Options become exercisable.

          The Committee also may, in its discretion, change the terms of any
outstanding Award to reflect any such Corporate Transaction, provided that, in
the case of ISOs, such change is excluded from the definition of a
"modification" under section 424(h) of the Code.


                         SECTION 8 - CHANGE IN CONTROL
                                     -----------------

          All Options shall become fully vested and exercisable upon a Change in
Control of the Company occuring after June 30, 1996.  A "Change in Control"
shall be deemed to have taken place if and only if either (i) any Person (as
defined hereinbelow), together with all affiliates and associates thereof (as
defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act), shall become the beneficial owner
(as such term is used under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder) of shares of the Company having more than
50% of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors
of the Company, or (ii) there occurs any cash tender or exchange offer for
shares of the Company, merger or other business combination, or sale of assets,
or any combination of the foregoing transactions, and as a result of or in
connection with any such event persons who are directors of the Company before
the event shall cease to constitute a majority of the board of directors of the
Company or of any successor to the Company.  The Company shall give appropriate
advance notice to all Awardees of Options under the Plan of a pending Change in
Control so as to permit such Awardees the opportunity to exercise such Options
prior to the Change in Control.

                                       9

 
          As used in clause (i) of this Section 8, a "Person" means any person,
group or entity other than the following:  the Company; any employee benefit
plan of the Company or of any affiliates or associates thereof (each as defined
in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act); any person or entity organized, appointed
or established by the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any such employee
benefit plan; any stockholder of the Company as of June 30, 1996; or any
stockholder, member or other owner of a stockholder of the Company as of Junde
30, 1996.


                SECTION 9 - AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE OF THE PLAN
                            --------------------------------------- 
     
          At any time and from time to time, the Board may suspend or terminate
the Plan or amend it, and the Committee may amend any outstanding Awards, in any
respect whatsoever, except that the following amendments shall require the
approval by the affirmative votes of holders of at least a majority of the
shares present, or represented, and entitled to vote at a duly held meeting of
stockholders of the Company:

          (a)  any amendment which would:

               (1) materially increase the benefits accruing to directors and
          officers, within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act
          (hereinafter referred to as "Officers"), under the Plan;

               (2) materially increase the number of Common Shares which may be
          issued to directors and Officers under the Plan; or

               (3) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for
          directors and Officers to participate in the Plan;

          (b) with respect to ISOs, any amendment which would:

               (1) change the class of employees eligible to participate in the
          Plan;

               (2) except as permitted under Section 9 hereof, increase the
          maximum number of Common Shares with respect to which ISOs may be
          granted under the Plan; or

               (3) extend the duration of the Plan under Section 12 hereof with
          respect to any ISOs granted hereunder; and

          (c) Any amendment which would require shareholder approval pursuant to
     Prop. Treas. Reg. (S) 1.162-27(e)(4)(vi), or any successor thereto.(S)

          The foregoing notwithstanding, no such suspension, discontinuance or
     amendment shall materially impair the rights of any holder of an
     outstanding Award without the consent of such holder.


                                 SECTION 10 - TERMINATION OF PLAN
                                              -------------------

          Unless earlier terminated as provided in the Plan, the Plan and all
authority granted hereunder shall terminate absolutely at 12:00 midnight on May
22,2006 which date is the day immediately prior to 10 years after the date the
Plan was adopted by the Board, and no Awards hereunder shall be granted
thereafter. Nothing contained in this Section 12, however, shall terminate or
affect the continued existence of rights created under Awards issued hereunder
and outstanding on May 22, 2006 which by their terms extend beyond such date.

                                 SECTION 11 - SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL
                                              --------------------

          This Plan shall become effective on May 23, 1996 (the date the Plan
was adopted by the Board); provided, however, that if the Plan is not approved
by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares
present, or represented, and entitled to vote at a duly held meeting of the
shareholders of the Company, within 12 months after said date, the Plan and all
Awards granted hereunder shall be null and void and no additional Awards shall
be granted hereunder.


                                 SECTION 12 - MISCELLANEOUS
                                              -------------

          (a) GOVERNING LAW.  The Plan, and the Option Agreements entered into,
              -------------                                                    
     and the Awards granted thereunder, shall be governed by the applicable Code
     provisions.  Otherwise, the operation of, and the rights of Awardees under,
     the Plan, the Option Agreements, and the Awards shall be governed by
     applicable federal law and otherwise by the laws of the State of
     Delaware.

          (b) RIGHTS.  Neither the adoption of the Plan nor any action of the
              ------                                                         
     Board or the Committee shall be deemed to give any individual any right to
     be granted an Award, or any other right hereunder, unless and until the
     Committee shall have granted such individual an Award, and then his or her
     rights shall be only such as are provided by the Plan and the Award
     Agreement.

          Any Option under the Plan shall not entitle the holder thereof to any
     rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise of such Option
     and the issuance of the shares pursuant thereto.  Further, no provision of
     the Plan or any Option Agreement with an Awardee shall limit the Company's
     right, in its discretion, to retire such person at any time pursuant to its
     retirement rules or otherwise to terminate his or her Employment at any
     time for any reason whatsoever.

          (c) NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION.  The granting of an Option shall
              --------------------------------                                  
     impose no obligation upon the Awardee to exercise such Option.

          (d) NON-TRANSFERABILITY. No Award shall be assignable or transferable
              -------------------                                              
     by the Awardee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and
     distribution, and during the lifetime of such person, any Options shall be
     exercisable only by him or her or by his or her guardian or legal
     representative.  If an Awardee is married at the time of exercise of an
     Option and if the Awardee so requests at the time of exercise, the
     certificate or certificates issued shall be registered in the name of the
     Awardee and the Awardee's spouse, jointly, with right of survivorship.

          (e) WITHHOLDING AND USE OF SHARES TO SATISFY TAX OBLIGATIONS. The
              --------------------------------------------------------     
     obligation of the Company to deliver Common Shares or pay cash to an
     Awardee pursuant to any Award under the Plan shall be subject to applicable
     federal, state and local tax withholding requirements.

          In connection with an Award in the form of Common Shares subject to
     the withholding requirements of applicable federal tax laws, the Committee,
     in its discretion (and subject to such withholding rules ("Withholding
     Rules") as shall be adopted by the Committee), may permit the Awardee to
     satisfy the minimum required federal, state and local withholding tax, in
     whole or in part, by electing to have the Company withhold (or by returning
     to the Company) Common Shares, which shares shall be valued, for this
     purpose, at their Fair Market Value on the date of  

                                       11

 
     exercise of the Option (or if later, the date on which the Awardee
     recognizes ordinary income with respect to such exercise) (the
     "Determination Date"); provided, however, that with respect to Awardees who
     are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any such amount of minimum
     federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld shall be satisfied
     by withholding Common Shares. An election to use Common Shares to satisfy
     tax withholding requirements must be made in compliance with and subject to
     the Withholding Rules. The Company may not withhold shares in excess of the
     number necessary to satisfy the minimum required federal, state and local
     income tax withholding requirements. In the event Common Shares acquired
     under the exercise of an ISO are used to satisfy such withholding
     requirement, such Common Shares must have been held by the Awardee for a
     period of not less than the holding period described in section 422(a)(1)
     of the Code on the Determination Date, or if such Common Shares were
     acquired through exercise of an NQSO or of an option under a similar plan,
     such option must have been granted to the Awardee at least six months prior
     to the Determination Date.

          (f) LISTING AND REGISTRATION OF SHARES. Each Award shall be subject to
              ----------------------------------                                
     the requirement that, if at any time the Committee shall determine, in its
     discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares
     covered thereby upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal
     law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is
     necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the
     granting of such Award or the purchase or vesting of shares thereunder, or
     that action by the Company or by the Awardee should be taken in order to
     obtain an exemption from any such requirement, no such Option may be
     exercised, in whole or in part, and no shares shall be delivered pursuant
     to a Restricted or Unrestricted Stock Award, unless and until such listing,
     registration, qualification, consent, approval, or action shall have been
     effected, obtained, or taken under conditions acceptable to the Committee.
     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Awardee or his or
     her legal representative or beneficiary may also be required to give
     satisfactory assurance that shares purchased upon exercise of an Option or
     received pursuant to a Restricted or Unrestricted Stock Award are being
     purchased for investment and not with a view to distribution, and
     certificates representing such shares may be legended accordingly.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, MIM Corporation has caused these presents to be
duly executed, under seal, this 23rd day of May, 1996.
