The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 4 MIM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands, except per share amounts) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of MIM Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, primarily consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows which may be reported for the remainder of 1999. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements, notes and information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 filed with the Commission (the "Form 10-K"). The accounting policies followed for interim financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K. NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share: Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 1998 ------- ------- Numerator: Net income $ 604 $ 1,636 ======= ======= Denominator: Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 18,422 13,369 ------- ------- Basic earnings per share $ .03 $ .12 ======= ======= Denominator: Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 18,422 13,369 Common share equivalents of outstanding stock options 488 1,763 ------- ------- Total shares outstanding 18,910 15,132 ------- ------- Diluted earnings per share $ .03 $ .11 ======= ======= NOTE 3 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES On March 31, 1999, the State of Tennessee and Xantus Healthplan of Tennessee, Inc. ("Xantus") entered into a consent decree whereby, among other things, the Commissioner of Commerce and Insurance for the State of Tennessee was appointed receiver of Xantus for purposes of rehabilitation. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the effects of this action on the Company's ability to collect monies owed to it by Xantus for pharmacy benefit management ("PBM") services rendered by the Company from January 1, 1999 through April 1, 1999. As of April 1, 1999, Xantus owed the Company $10.7 million. To date, the Company has withheld from its pharmacy providers approximately $4.0 million of claims 6 submitted by them on behalf of Xantus members as permitted by the Company's agreements with these pharmacy providers. State of Tennessee officials have publicly indicated that the State will ensure that all TennCare providers negatively impacted by the appointment of the receiver for Xantus will eventually receive from Xantus or the State at least 50% of all outstanding amounts owed by Xantus to such providers as of April 1, 1999. The Company can give no assurance that Xantus or the State will eventually pay any or all of these amounts. The failure of the Company to collect from Xantus or the State all or a substantial portion of the monies owed to it by Xantus would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The receiver has begun to pay the Company on behalf of Xantus for services rendered to Xantus and its members following April 1, 1999. NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT In April 1999, the Company loaned to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company $1,700, evidenced by a promissory note and a pledge of 1,500 shares of Common Stock to secure his obligations under the promissory note. The note requires repayment of principal and interest by March 31, 2004. Interest is accrued monthly at the Prime Rate (as defined in the note) then in effect. The loan was approved by the Company's Board of Directors in order to provide funds with which the Chairman could pay the tax liability associated with the exercise of stock options representing 1,500 shares of Common Stock in January 1998. As part of the Company's normal review process, the Company determined that two of the Company's capitated TennCare(R) contracts were not achieving profitability projections. Accordingly, in accordance with the terms of these contracts, the Company exercised its right to terminate these contracts effective on September 28, 1999. Representatives of the Company and these TennCare managed care organizations are presently renegotiating these contracts. While the Company believes it is reasonably likely that the terms of the contracts can be renegotiated, no assurance can be given that the Company will successfully renegotiate the contracts with either or both of these customers. In addition, no assurance can be given that the Company will not incur losses under either or both of these contracts during the interim period until termination becomes effective. The Company does not believe that the loss of these contracts, if they cannot be renegotiated, would have a material adverse effect on its liquidity. * * * * 7 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, the related notes thereto and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Form 10-K, as well as the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and the related notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1999 filed with the Commission (this "Report"). This Report contains statements not purely historical and which may be considered forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including statements regarding the Company's expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future, as well as statements which are not historical fact. Forward looking statements may include statements relating to the Company's business development activities, its' sales and marketing efforts, the status of material contractual arrangements including the negotiation or re-negotiation of such arrangements, future capital expenditures, the effects of regulation and competition on the Company's business, future operating performance of the Company and the results, the benefits and risks associated with integration of acquired companies, the effect of year 2000 problems on the Company's operations and/or effect of legal proceedings or investigations and/or the resolution or settlement thereof. Investors are cautioned that any such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward looking statements as a result of various factors. These factors include, among other things, risks associated with risk-based or "capitated" contracts, increased government regulation related to the health care and insurance industries in general and more specifically, pharmacy benefit management organizations, increased competition from the Company's competitors, including competitors with greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, and the existence of complex laws and regulations relating to the Company's business. This Report along with the Company's Form 10-K contain information regarding important factors that could cause such differences. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events and circumstances. Overview RxCare of Tennessee, Inc. ("RxCare"), a pharmacy services administrative organization owned by the Tennessee Pharmacists Association and representing approximately 1,250 retail pharmacies, initially retained the Company in 1993 to assist in obtaining contracts with managed care organization's ("MCO's") applying to participate in the TennCare program to provide pharmacy benefit management ("PBM") services to those MCO's and their TennCare eligible and commercial recipients. In January 1994, the State of Tennessee instituted its TennCare program by contracting with MCO's to provide mandated health services to TennCare beneficiaries on a capitated basis. In turn, certain of these MCO's contracted with RxCare to provide TennCare mandated pharmaceutical benefits to their TennCare beneficiaries through RxCare's network of retail pharmacies, in most cases on a corresponding capitated basis. From January 1994 through December 31, 1998, the Company provided a broad range of PBM services with respect to RxCare's TennCare, TennCare Partners, the TennCare behavioral health program, and commercial PBM business under an agreement with RxCare (the "RxCare Contract"). Under the RxCare Contract, the Company performed essentially all of RxCare's obligations under its PBM contracts with plan sponsors, including designing and marketing PBM programs and services. Under the RxCare Contract, the Company paid certain amounts to RxCare and shared with RxCare the profit, if any, derived from services performed under RxCare's contracts with the plan sponsors. The Company and RxCare did not renew the RxCare Contract which expired on December 31, 1998. The negotiated termination of the Company's relationship with RxCare, among other things, allowed the Company to directly market its services to Tennessee customers, including those MCO's and commercial 8 customers then serviced by the Company through the RxCare Contract, prior to its expiration. The RxCare Contract had previously prohibited the Company from soliciting and/or marketing its PBM services in Tennessee other than on behalf of, and for the benefit of, RxCare. The Company's marketing efforts after its negotiated settlement resulted in the Company executing agreements, effective as of January 1, 1999, to provide PBM services directly to five of the six TennCare MCO's representing approximately 900,000 of the 1.2 million TennCare lives previously managed under the RxCare Contract, as well as substantially all third party administrators ("TPA's") and employer groups previously managed under the RxCare Contract. Effective May 1, 1999, the Company entered into a contract with the sixth TennCare MCO representing approximately 300,000 TennCare lives, thereby contracting with all of the TennCare MCO's that the Company managed through the RxCare Contract prior to December 31, 1998. To date, the Company has not contracted with the two TennCare behavioral health organizations ("BHO's") to which it previously provided PBM services under the RxCare Contract as the State presently administers the pharmacy benefit for these BHO's. For the year ended December 31, 1998, amounts paid to the Company by these BHO's represented approximately 27% of the Company's revenues. A majority of the Company's revenues are derived from providing PBM services in the State of Tennessee to MCO's participating in the State of Tennessee's TennCare program. At March 31, 1999, the Company provided PBM services to 140 health plan sponsors with an aggregate of approximately 1.7 million plan members, of which TennCare represented health plans with approximately 900,000 plan members. The five TennCare contracts accounted for 47.4% of the Company's revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 76.0% of the Company's revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998. With the addition of the sixth TennCare MCO as of May 1, 1999, the Company anticipates that approximately 45% of its revenues for fiscal 1999 will be derived from providing PBM services to these six TennCare MCO's. Results of Operations Three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to three months ended March 31, 1998 For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company recorded revenue of $74.9 million, a decrease of $23.1 million from the same period a year ago. TennCare contracts accounted for decreased revenues of $38.9 million as the Company did not retain contracts as of January 1, 1999 with the sixth TennCare MCO and the two TennCare BHO's it previously managed under the RxCare Contract. The loss of these contracts represents $17.6 million and $23.6 million, respectively, of the decrease in revenue, partially offset by increases in other TennCare contracts. Commercial revenue increased $8.9 million, partially offset by a decrease of $8.5 million due to the loss of a contract with a Nevada based managed care organization, representing a net increase of $.4 million in commercial revenue. Revenue increased $15.4 million as a result of the Company's acquisition in August 1998 of the operations of Continental Managed Pharmacy Services Inc. ("Continental"). For the three months ended March 31, 1999, approximately 17% of the Company's revenues were generated from capitated or other risk-based contracts, compared to 39% for the three months ended March 31, 1998. This decrease resulted from the loss, as of January 1, 1999, of a major contract with on of the TennCare MCO's the Company managed on a capitated basis throughout 1998 under the RxCare Contract, as well as the addition of other business through the Company's acquisition of Continental. Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased $25.7 million from $92.4 million to $66.7 million compared to the same period a year ago. TennCare contracts accounted for $36.4 million of such decrease due to the loss as of January 1, 1999 of the sixth TennCare MCO and the two TennCare BHO's previously managed under the RxCare Contract until December 31, 1998. The loss of these contracts represents $16.2 million and $22.2 million, respectively, of the decrease, partially offset by increases in other TennCare contracts. Cost of revenue increases of $6.7 million from commercial business were completely offset by a decrease in cost of revenue of $8.5 million due to the loss of a contract with a Nevada based managed care organization, representing a net decrease of $1.8 million. Such decreases in cost of revenue were partially offset by increases of $12.5 million generated from Continental. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue decreased to 89.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 9 from 94.3% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 primarily due to the contribution of Continental's drug distribution business which has experienced better margins than historically experienced by the Company's core PBM line of business. Generally, loss contracts arise only on capitated or other risk-based contracts and primarily result from higher than expected pharmacy utilization rates, higher than expected inflation in drug costs and the inability of the Company to restrict its MCO clients' formularies to the extent anticipated by the Company at the time contracted PBM services are implemented, thereby resulting in higher than expected drug costs. At such time as management estimates that a contract will sustain losses over its remaining contractual life, a reserve is established for these estimated losses. Management does not believe that there is an overall trend towards losses on its existing capitated contracts. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, an increase of $3.0 million as compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The acquisition of Continental accounted for $2.5 million of the increase. The remaining $0.5 million increase in expenses reflects expenditures incurred in connection with the Company's continuing commitment to enhance its ability to manage efficiently pharmacy benefits by investing in additional personnel and information systems to support new and existing customers and increased legal costs. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 10.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from 4.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 mainly attributable to revenue decrease experienced from the loss of the three TennCare contracts (as discussed above). For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company recorded amortization of goodwill and other intangibles of $0.3 million in connection with its acquisition of Continental. The Continental acquisition resulted in the recording of approximately $18.5 million of goodwill and $1.2 million of other intangible assets, which will be amortized over their estimated useful lives (25 years for goodwill and 6 years and 4 years for other intangible assets). For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company recorded interest income, net of interest expense, of $0.2 million. Interest income was $0.3 million, a decrease of $0.2 million from the same period a year ago, resulting from a reduced level of invested capital due to the additional working capital needs of the Company. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources." For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company recorded net income of $.6 million, or $.03 per diluted share. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company recorded net income of $1.6 million, or $.11 per diluted share. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, accounts receivable decreased $7.5 million to $57.2 million from $64.7 million from December 31, 1998. The decrease resulted primarily from a proportionate decrease in PBM business during the period. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company utilizes both funds generated from operations, if any, and funds raised in its initial public offering (the "Offering") for capital expenditures and working capital needs. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, net cash provided from operating activities totaled $1.6 million, due mainly to a decrease in accounts receivable of $7.6 million and an increase in payables to plan sponsors of $4.2 million partially offset by a decrease in claims payable of $9.7 million. The decrease in accounts receivable resulted primarily from a proportionate decrease in PBM business. Payables to plan sponsors increased due to changes in contractual terms, whereby the Company incurred additional sharing obligations upon contract renegotiations effective January 1, 1999. Claims payable decreased due primarily to the loss as of January 1, 1999 of the three TennCare contracts discussed above. Investing activities generated $2.4 million primarily from proceeds of maturities of investment securities of $2.8 million. This cash provided was partially offset by purchases of $.8 million of equipment primarily to upgrade and enhance information systems necessary to strengthen and support the Company's 10 ability to manage its customer's PBM programs and to be competitive in the PBM industry. Financing activities used $4.7 million of cash primarily from a decrease in revolving debt of $4.2 million. At March 31, 1999, the Company had working capital of $15.6 million, including $8.9 million in investment securities, compared to $19.8 million at December 31, 1998. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $3.8 million at March 31, 1999 compared with $4.5 million at December 31, 1998. The Company had investment securities held to maturity of $8.9 million at March 31, 1999 and $11.7 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease in cash and investment securities was due to the Company's increased working capital requirements. With the exception of the Company's $2.3 million preferred stock investment in Wang Healthcare Information Systems, Inc., the Company's investments are primarily corporate debt securities rated AA or higher and government securities. Effective January 1, 1999, the Company began to provide PBM services directly to five of the six TennCare MCO's representing 900,000 of the 1.2 million TennCare lives previously managed under the RxCare Contract. Effective May 1, 1999, the Company entered into a contract with the sixth TennCare MCO representing approximately 300,000 TennCare lives, thereby contracting with all of the TennCare MCO's that the Company managed through the RxCare Contract prior to December 31, 1998. To date, however, the Company has not contracted with either of the two TennCare BHO's for which it previously provided PBM services under the RxCare Contract as the State presently administers the pharmacy benefit for these BHO's. The Company does not believe that the loss of these contracts will have a material adverse effect on its liquidity. As part of the Company's normal review process, the Company determined that two of the Company's capitated TennCare contracts were not achieving profitability projections. Accordingly, in accordance with the terms of these contracts, the Company exercised its right to terminate these contracts effective on September 28, 1999. Representatives of the Company and these TennCare MCO's are presently renegotiating these contracts. While the Company believes it is reasonably likely that the terms of the contracts can be renegotiated, no assurance can be given that the Company will successfully renegotiate the contracts with either or both of these customers. In addition, no assurance can be given that the Company will not incur losses under either or both of these contracts during the interim period until termination becomes effective. The Company does not believe that the loss of these contracts, if they cannot be renegotiated, would have a material adverse effect on its liquidity. On March 31, 1999, the State of Tennessee and Xantus Healthplan of Tennessee, Inc. ("Xantus") entered into a consent decree whereby, among other things, the Commissioner of Commerce and Insurance for the State of Tennessee was appointed receiver of Xantus for purposes of rehabilitation. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the effects of this action on the Company's ability to collect monies owed to it by Xantus for PBM services rendered by the Company from January 1, 1999 through April 1, 1999. As of April 1, 1999, Xantus owed the Company $10.7 million. To date, the Company has withheld from its pharmacy providers approximately $4.0 million of claims submitted by them on behalf of Xantus members as permitted by the Company's agreements with these pharmacy providers. State of Tennessee officials have publicly indicated that the State will ensure that all TennCare providers negatively impacted by the appointment of the receiver for Xantus will eventually receive from Xantus or the State at least 50% of all outstanding amounts owed by Xantus to such providers as of April 1, 1999. The Company can give no assurance that Xantus or the State will eventually pay any or all of these amounts. The failure of the Company to collect from Xantus or the State all or a substantial portion of the monies owed to it by Xantus would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The receiver has begun to pay the Company on behalf of Xantus for services rendered to Xantus and its members following April 1, 1999. In April 1999, the Company loaned to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company $1.7 million, evidenced by a promissory note and a pledge of 1.5 million shares of Common Stock to secure his obligations under the promissory note. The note requires repayment of principal and interest by March 31, 2004. Interest is accrued monthly at the Prime Rate (as defined in the note) then in effect. The loan was approved by the Company's Board of Directors in order to provide funds with which the Chairman could pay the tax liability associated with the exercise of stock options representing 1.5 million shares of Common Stock in January 1998. 11 Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Section 145") and the Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws ("By-Laws"), the Company is obligated to indemnify two former officers of the Company (one of which is also a former director and still a principal stockholder of the Company) who are the subject of the indictments brought in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee (as more fully described in the Form 10-K), unless it is ultimately determined by the Company's Board of Directors that these former officers failed to act in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, that they had reason to believe that their conduct was unlawful of for any other reason under which indemnification would not be required Section 145 or the By-Laws. In addition, until the Board makes such a determination, the Company is also obligated under Section 145 and its By-Laws to advance the costs of defense to such persons; however, if the Board determines that either or both of these former officers are not entitled to indemnification, such individuals would be obligated to reimburse the Company for all amounts so advanced. The Company is not presently in a position to assess the likelihood that either or both of these former officers will be entitled to such indemnification and continued advancement of defense costs or to estimate the total amount that it may have to pay in connection with such obligations or the time period over which such amounts will have to be advanced. No assurance can be given, however, that the Company's obligations to either or both of these former officers would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. At December 31, 1998, the Company had, for tax purposes, unused net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of approximately $47 million which will begin expiring in 2008. As it is uncertain whether the Company will realize the full benefit from these NOL carryforwards, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset generated by the carryforwards. The Company assesses the need for a valuation allowance at each balance sheet date. The Company has undergone a "change in control" as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The amount of NOL carryforwards that may be utilized in any given year will be subject to a limitation as a result of this change. The annual limitation approximates $2.7 million. Actual utilization in any year will vary based on the Company's tax position in that year. As the Company continues to grow, it anticipates that its working capital needs will also continue to increase. The Company expects to spend approximately $1.7 million on capital expenditures during fiscal 1999 (no substantial portion of which was expended in the first quarter of 1999) primarily for expansion and continued upgrading of information systems. The Company believes that it has sufficient cash on hand or available to fund the Company's anticipated working capital and other cash needs for at least the next 12 months. The Company may also pursue joint venture arrangements, business acquisitions and other strategic transactions and arrangements designed to expand its business, which the Company would expect to fund from cash on hand or future indebtedness or, if appropriate, the sale or exchange of equity securities of the Company. Other Matters The Company's pharmaceutical claims costs historically have been subject to significant increases from October through February, which the Company believes is due to the need for increased medical attention to, and intervention with, MCO's members during the colder months. The resulting increase in pharmaceutical costs impacts the profitability of capitated contracts or other risk-based arrangements. Risk-based business represented approximately 17% of the Company's revenues while non-risk business (including the provision of mail order services) represented approximately 83% of the Company's revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Non-risk arrangements mitigate the adverse effect on profitability of higher pharmaceutical costs incurred under risk-based contracts. The Company presently anticipates that approximately 36% of its revenues in fiscal 1999 will be derived from risk-based arrangements. Changes in prices charged by manufacturers and wholesalers or distributors for pharmaceuticals, a component of pharmaceutical claims, have historically affected the Company's cost of revenue. The 12 Company believes that it is likely that prices will continue to increase which could have an adverse effect on the Company's gross profit. To the extent such cost increases adversely effect the Company's gross profit, the Company may be required to increase contract rates on new contracts and upon renewal of existing contracts. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining these rate increases. The higher level of non-risk contracts with the Company's customers in 1999 compared to prior years mitigates the adverse effects of price increases, although no assurance can be given that the recent trend towards no-risk arrangements will continue. Year 2000 disclosure The so-called "year 2000 problem," which is common to many companies, concerns the inability of information systems, primarily computer hardware and software programs, to recognize properly and process date sensitive information following December 31, 1999. The Company has committed substantial resources (approximately $2.6 million) over the past two years to improve its information systems ("IS project"). The Company has used this IS project as an opportunity to evaluate its state of readiness, estimate expected costs and identify and quantify risks associated with any potential year 2000 issues. State of Readiness: In evaluating the Company's potential exposure to the year 2000 problem, management first identified those systems that were critical to the ongoing business of the Company and that would require significant manual intervention should those systems be unable to process dates correctly following December 31, 1999. Those systems were the Company's claims adjudication and processing system and the internal accounting system (which includes pharmacy reimbursement). Once those systems were identified, the following steps were identified as those that would be required to be taken to ascertain the Company's state of readiness: I. Obtaining letters from software and hardware vendors concerning the ability of their products to properly process dates after December 31, 1999; II. Testing the operating systems of all hardware used in the identified information systems to determine if dates after December 31, 1999 can be processed correctly; III. Surveying other parties who provide or process information in electronic format to the Company as to their state of readiness and ability to process dates after December 31, 1999; and IV. Testing the identified information systems to confirm that they will properly recognize and process dates after December 31, 1999. The Company (excluding for purposes of this year 2000 discussion only, Continental) has completed Step I. The Company will continue to obtain letters from new hardware and software vendors. The Company is currently in the process of implementing Step II. The Company has begun testing its operating systems, and where appropriate software patches have been acquired. Any software or hardware determined to be non-compliant will be modified, repaired or replaced. Installation of patches and full operating systems testing is anticipated to be completed during the second quarter of 1999. The Company cannot estimate the costs of such modifications, repairs and replacements at this time, but does not believe that the costs of such modifications, repairs or replacements will be material. The Company will disclose the results of its testing and attempt to further quantify this estimate in future periodic reports following its completion of Step II. With respect to Step III above, the Company has engaged in discussions with the third party vendors that transmit data from member pharmacies and based upon such discussions it believes that such third party vendors' systems will be able to properly recognize and process dates after December 31, 1999. The Company is in the process of surveying member pharmacies in its network as to their ability to transmit data correctly to such third party vendors and anticipates completing this survey during the second quarter of 1999. Once this survey is complete, the Company will evaluate any additional steps required to allow member pharmacies to transmit data after December 31, 1999 and will disclose such additional steps, if any, and their related costs in future periodic reports. 13 With respect to Step IV above, the Company intends to perform a comprehensive year 2000 compliance test of the claims adjudication and processing systems as part of the next regularly scheduled disaster recovery drill, which is currently planned for June 1999. This date has been postponed from the previously scheduled March 1999 test in order to incorporate software upgrades during the second quarter of 1999. The Company's internal accounting and other administrative systems generally have been internally developed during the last few years or are presently being developed. Accordingly, in light of the fact that such systems were developed with a view to year 2000 compliance, the Company fully expects that these systems will be able to properly recognize and process dates after December 31, 1999. The Company intends to test these systems for year 2000 compliance as part of the disaster recovery drill described above. Continental's computer systems related to the delivery of pharmaceutical products through mail order were upgraded in the fourth quarter of 1998 to become year 2000 compliant. All internal systems at Continental are scheduled to be compliant by the end of the third quarter of 1999. Costs: As noted above, the Company spent approximately $2.6 million over the past two years to improve its information systems. In addition, the Company anticipates that it will spend approximately $1.7 million during 1999 to further improve its information systems. These improvements were not, and are not intended to specifically address the year 2000 issue, but rather to address other business needs and issues. Nonetheless, the IS project has provided the Company with a platform from which to address any year 2000 issues. Management does not believe that the amount of funds expended in connection with the IS project would have differed materially in the absence of the year 2000 problem. The Company's cash on hand as a result of the Offering has provided all of the funds expended to date on the IS project and is expected to provide substantially all of the funds expected to be spent during 1999 on the IS project. Risks: On July 29, 1998, the Commission issued Release No. 33-7558 (the "Release") in an effort to provide further guidance to reporting companies concerning disclosure of the year 2000 problem. In this Release the Commission required that registrants include in its year 2000 disclosure a description of its "most reasonably likely worst case scenario." Based on the Company's assessment and the results of remediation performed to date as described above, the Company believes that all problems related to the year 2000 will be addressed in a timely manner so that the Company will experience little or no disruption in its business immediately following December 31, 1999. However, if unforeseen difficulties arise, if the Company's assessment of Continental uncovers significant problems (which is not presently expected to occur) or if compliance testing is delayed or necessary remediation efforts are not accomplished in accordance with the Company's plans described above, the Company anticipates that its "most reasonably likely worst case scenario" (as required to be described by the Release) is that some percentage of the Company's claims would need to be processed manually for some limited period of time. At this point in time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the number of pharmacies or the level of claims involved or the costs that would be incurred if the Company were required to hire temporary staff and incur other expenses to manually process such claims. The Company expects to be better able to quantify the number of pharmacies and level of claims involved as well as the related costs following its completion of the survey of member pharmacies in the second quarter of 1999 and presently intends to disclose such estimates in future periodic reports. In addition, the Company anticipates that all businesses (regardless of their state of readiness), including the Company, will encounter some minimal level of disruption in its business (e.g., phone and fax systems, alarm systems, etc.) as a result of the year 2000 problem. However, the Company does not believe that it will incur any material expenses or suffer any material loss of revenues in connection with such minimal disruptions. Contingency Plans: As discussed above, in the event of the occurrence of the "most reasonably likely worst case scenario" the Company would hire an appropriate level of temporary staff to manually process the pharmacy claims 14 submitted on paper. As discussed above, at this time the Company cannot reasonably estimate the number of pharmacies or level of claims involved or the costs that would be incurred if the Company were required to hire temporary staff and incur other expenses to manually process such claims. While some level of manual processing is common in the industry and while manual processing increases the time it takes the Company to pay the member pharmacies and invoice the related payors, the Company does not foresee any material lost revenues or other material expenses in connection with this scenario. However, an extended delay in processing claims, making payments to pharmacies and billing the Company's customers could materially adversely impact the Company's liquidity. In addition, while not part of the "most reasonably likely worst case scenario," the delay in paying such pharmacies for their claims could result in adverse relations between the Company and the pharmacies. Such adverse relations could cause certain pharmacies to drop out of the Company's networks which in turn could cause the Company to be in breach under service area provisions under certain of its services agreements with its customers. The Company does not believe that any material relationship with any pharmacy will be so affected or that any material number of pharmacies would withdraw from the Company's networks or that it will breach any such service area provision of any contract with its customers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, based upon past experience, the Company believes that it could quickly replace any such withdrawing pharmacy so as to prevent any breach of any such provision. The Company cannot presently reasonably estimate the possible impact in terms of lost revenues, additional expenses or litigation damages or expenses that could result from such events. Forward Looking Statements: Certain information set forth above regarding the year 2000 problem and the Company's plans to address those problems are forward looking statements under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. See the first paragraph in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for a discussion of forward looking statements and related risks and uncertainties. In addition, certain factors particular to the year 2000 problem could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward looking statements, including, without limitation: failure to identify critical information systems which experience failures, delays and errors in the compliance and remediation efforts described above, unexpected failures by key vendors, member pharmacies, software providers or business partners to be year 2000 compliant or the inability to repair critical information systems in the time frames described above. In any such event, the Company's results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, the failure to be year 2000 compliant of third parties outside of the Company's control such as electric utilities or financial institutions could adversely effect the Company's results of operations and financial condition. * * * * 15 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The Company believes that interest rate risk represents the only market risk exposure applicable to the Company. The Company's exposure to market risks associated with changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company's investments in marketable securities in accordance with the Company's corporate investment policies and guidelines. All of these instruments are classified as "held-to-maturity" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets and were entered into by the Company solely for investment purposes and not for trading purposes. The Company does not invest in or otherwise use derivative financial instruments. The Company's investments consist primarily of corporate debt securities, corporate preferred stock and State and local governmental obligations, each rated AA or higher. The table below presents principal cash flow amounts and related weighted average effective interest rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates for the Company's financial instruments subject to interest rate risk: 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 Thereafter ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---------- Short-term investments Fixed rate investments 8,850 -- -- -- -- -- Weighted average rate 6.57% -- -- -- -- -- Long-term investments: Fixed rate investments -- -- -- -- -- -- Weighted average rate -- -- -- -- -- -- Long-term debt: Variable rate instruments 112 312 1,773 -- -- -- Weighted average rate 9.00% 9.00% 7.78% -- -- -- In the table above, the weighted average interest rate for fixed and variable rate financial instruments in each year was computed utilizing the effective interest rate at March 31, 1999 for that instrument multiplied by the percentage obtained by dividing the principal payments expected in that year with respect to that instrument by the aggregate expected principal payments with respect to all financial instruments within the same class of instrument. At March 31, 1999, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, claims payable and payables to plan sponsors and others approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Because management does not believe that its exposure to interest rate market risk is material at this time, the Company has not developed or implemented a strategy to manage this market risk through the use of derivative financial instruments or otherwise. The Company will assess the significance of interest rate market risk from time to time and will develop and implement strategies to manage that risk as appropriate. * * * * 16 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings On March 31, 1999, the State of Tennessee and Xantus Healthplan of Tennessee, Inc. ("Xantus") entered into a consent decree whereby, among other things, the Commissioner of Commerce and Insurance for the State of Tennessee was appointed receiver of Xantus for purposes of rehabilitation. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the effects of this action on the Company's ability to collect monies owed to it by Xantus for pharmacy benefit management services rendered by the Company from January 1, 1999 through April 1, 1999. As of April 1, 1999, Xantus owed the Company $10.7 million. To date, the Company has withheld from its pharmacy providers approximately $4.0 million of claims submitted by them on behalf of Xantus members as permitted by the Company's agreements with these pharmacy providers. State of Tennessee officials have publicly indicated that the State will ensure that all TennCare providers negatively impacted by the appointment of the receiver for Xantus will eventually receive from Xantus or the State at least 50% of all outstanding amounts owed by Xantus to such providers as of April 1, 1999. The Company can give no assurance that Xantus or the State will eventually pay any or all of these amounts. The failure of the Company to collect from Xantus or the State all or a substantial portion of the monies owed to it by Xantus would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The receiver has begun to pay the Company on behalf of Xantus for services rendered to Xantus and its members following April 1, 1999. Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds From August 14, 1996 through March 31, 1999, the $46,788,000 net proceeds from the initial public offering (the "Offering"), pursuant to a Registration Statement assigned file number 333-05327 by the Securities and Exchange Commission and declared effective by the Commission on August 14, 1996, have been applied in the following approximate amounts: Construction of plant, building and facilities .............. $ -- Purchase and installation of machinery and equipment ........ $ 5,069,000 Purchases of real estate .................................... $ -- Acquisition of other business ............................... $ 2,341,000 Repayment of indebtedness ................................... $ -- Working capital ............................................. $26,750,000 Temporary investments: Marketable securities .................................. $ 8,875,000 Overnight cash deposits ................................ $ 3,753,000 To date, the Company has expended a relatively insignificant portion of the Offering proceeds on expansion of the Company's "preferred generics" business which was described more fully in the Offering prospectus and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. At the time of the Offering, however, as disclosed in the Offering prospectus and subsequent Forms SR, the Company intended to apply approximately $18.6 million of Offering proceeds to fund an expansion of the "preferred generics" program. The Company has determined not to apply any material portion of the Offering proceeds to fund any expansion of this program. The Company presently intends to use the remaining Offering proceeds to support the continued growth of its PBM and mail order business. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders during the first quarter of fiscal 1999. 17 Item 5. Other Information None.

                                                              Elmsford, New York


     FOR VALUE  RECEIVED,  the undersigned  (the "Maker",  whether one or more),
hereby  unconditionally  promise(s)  to  pay  to the  order  of MIM  CORPORATION
("Payee"), at Payee's offices located at 100 Clearbrook Road, Elmsford, New York
10523, or such other office as the holder hereof may designate,  in lawful money
of the United  States,  the principal sum of One Million Seven Hundred  Thousand
and No/100 Dollars  ($1,700,000.00),  together with interest thereon as provided
for below.

1. Payment of Principal.  Maker shall pay the entire  principal amount hereof on
March 31, 2004.

2. Interest  Rate;  Payment of Interest.  Maker shall pay interest on the unpaid
principal balance hereof outstanding from time to time at a rate per annum equal
to the Prime  Rate (as  defined  below) in  effect  from time to time.  All such
interest shall be due on March 31, 2004.  Anything contained in this Note to the
contrary  notwithstanding,  during any  period in which an Event of Default  (as
defined below) is continuing,  the interest rate hereunder  shall, at the option
of the Payee,  be  increased  to a rate per annum  equal to the rate which would
otherwise  apply plus two (2) percent per annum,  and all  interest  accruing at
such rate shall be payable upon demand by the Payee. "Prime Rate" shall mean the
rate of interest per annum  announced  from time to time by The Chase  Manhattan
Bank (or its  successor) as its prime rate in effect at its principal  office in
New York City (the prime rate of  interest  not being  intended to be the lowest
rate of interest charged by such bank in connection with extensions of credit).

     Interest  shall commence to accrue on the date hereof and shall continue to
accrue  until  the  principal  hereof is paid in full  (whether  before or after
maturity or judgment).

     Anything contained in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding,  the Payee
does not intend to charge and the Maker shall not be required to pay interest or
other  charges in excess of the maximum rate  permitted by  applicable  law. Any
payments  in excess  of such  maximum  shall be  refunded  to Maker or  credited
against principal.

3. Prepayment. Maker may prepay the principal hereof, in whole or in part at any
time without penalty or premium.  All such prepayments  shall,  unless the Payee
otherwise agrees, be applied in inverse order of maturity.

4. Expenses.  Maker shall pay the Payee, on demand, for all reasonable costs and
expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in
the collection of this Note.

5.  Default;  Acceleration.  The  occurrence  of  any  of  the  following  shall
constitute an "Event of Default":




                                      -2-

     a.   Maker  shall fail to make any  payment of any  principal,  interest or
          other  amount  when due or fail to perform  any or observe any term or
          provision of this Note and, in any case,  such failure shall  continue
          for a period of ten (10) calendar days.

     b.   Any event of default or default  shall occur under any pledge or other
          security  agreement or other related document executed by the Maker in
          favor of Payee.

     c.   Maker or any endorser or guarantor hereof shall die (if an individual)
          or be  dissolved  (if an entity) and the unpaid  principal  balance of
          this Note and all accrued and unpaid  interest  hereunder shall not be
          paid in full within one hundred  eighty (180) calendar days after such
          death or dissolution (provided, however, that nothing contained herein
          shall be  interpreted  or  construed  to limit the right of the holder
          hereof to file a claim (with respect to the  indebtedness of the Note)
          against the estate of the decedent  Maker,  endorser or guarantor,  as
          the case may be, during (or after) such 180 day period); or shall make
          an assignment for the benefit of creditors;  or shall have a receiver,
          custodian,  trustee or conservator  appointed for all or substantially
          all its assets.

     d.   Any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency,  receivership
          or similar law affecting  Maker or any endorser or guarantor  shall be
          commenced.

     e.   Any  representation or warranty of Maker contained in this Note or any
          related  document  shall  prove  to be  untrue  or  misleading  in any
          material respect.

     f.   Maker's   employment   with  Payee  shall  terminate  for  any  reason
          whatsoever,  whether or not for cause and whether  terminated by Payee
          or Maker and the unpaid principal balance of this Note and all accrued
          and unpaid  interest  hereunder  shall not be paid in full  within one

Pledge  Agreement and any other Liens in favor of the Secured Party. The Pledgor
will defend the right,  title and  interest  of the Secured  Party in and to the
Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

determined to be payable with respect to any of the  Collateral or in connection
with  any of the  transactions  contemplated  by this  Pledge  Agreement  or the
exercise  by  the  Secured  Party  of  any of its  rights,  remedies  or  powers
hereunder.

split,  combination  or the like) of Common  Stock from the Lien of this  Pledge
Agreement (and the Pledgor shall,  after such release,  have the right to retain
and/or  sell or  otherwise  dispose of the  released  Collateral)  if all of the
following conditions are satisfied:

     (i)  no  Event  of  Default  or  Default  has  occurred  and is  continuing

          period  immediately prior to such release,  and the Loan to Collateral

          prior to the proposed date of release.

     (f) [RESERVED]

thereof and (ii) in any event give to the Secured Party, within 10 calendar days
after such move, written notice of such move.

Pledgor  covenants to the Secured  Party that no vote shall be cast or corporate
right  exercised or other action taken by Pledgor which,  in the Secured Party's
reasonable judgment,  would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent
with or result in any  violation of any provision of any agreement or instrument
relating to any Obligation,  including  without  limitation the Promissory Note,
this Pledge  Agreement,  or any other  financing  document  contemplated  by the
Promissory  Note. The Secured Party,  if an Event of Default shall have occurred
or be  continuing,  shall  have the  right  to  receive  and hold as  additional
collateral any dividends or other  distributions on the Specified  Pledged Stock
or other  Collateral  and, in the event that the Pledgor  shall be  delivered or
otherwise  have received (or be entitled to receive) any such dividends or other
distributions,  Pledgor shall hold same in trust for, and immediately  turn over
same  to,  the  Secured  Party  who may  hold  same  as  part of the  Collateral
hereunder;  provided, that, the Secured Party shall also have the right (whether
or not an Event of Default  then exists) to receive and hold as  Collateral  any
liquidating dividend.

such  shares  of  the  Specified   Pledged  Stock  (and  any  other   applicable
Collateral),  and in connection therewith,  the right to deposit and deliver any
and all of the  Specified  Pledged Stock (and any other  applicable  Collateral)
with any committee,  depository,  transfer agent,  registrar or other designated

liability  to the  Pledgor,  but the  Secured  Party  shall  have no duty to the
Pledgor to exercise any of the foregoing rights, privileges or options and shall
not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

     (b) The  rights of the  Secured  Party  under this  Agreement  shall not be
conditioned or contingent  upon the pursuit by the Secured Party of any right or
remedy  against any other Person or against the Collateral or any other security
or collateral. The Secured Party shall have no obligation or duty (and shall not
be liable for any failure) to demand,  collect, apply or realize upon all or any
part of the  Collateral  or for any delay in doing so, to  collect or to sell or
otherwise dispose of any


                                      -6-


Collateral  (whether  upon the  request of the  Pledgor  or any other  Person or
otherwise  and whether or not an Event of Default  has  occurred or the value of
the Collateral has (or may) increase or decrease),  to advise the Pledgor of any
actual  or  anticipated  changes  in the value of the  Collateral,  to act as an
investment  advisor or  insurer of any of the  Collateral,  to  preserve  rights
against prior parties, to protect Collateral (except, with respect to Collateral
in its possession,  as specifically set forth in Section 11 below),  to take any
other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof, or to
seek payment from any  particular  source,  and any such  obligation  or duty is
hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

     8.  Remedies.  If an Event of Default  shall occur and be  continuing,  the
Secured Party may exercise, in addition to all other rights, remedies and powers
granted in this Pledge  Agreement or in any other  instrument or agreement,  all
rights, remedies, and powers whether as a secured party or otherwise,  under the
Code or other  applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Secured Party,  without the need for demand of payment or other  performance
or other  demand,  presentment,  protest,  advertisement  or  notice of any kind
(except any notice  required by law referred to below) to or upon the Pledgor or
any other Person (all of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are
hereby  waived),  may at any and all times demand,  sue for,  collect,  receive,
issue  entitlement  orders  (without  Pledgor's  consent),  and/or  exercise all
options and other  rights under or with respect to,  and/or  appropriate  and/or
realize upon or otherwise deal with, any or all of the  Collateral,  and/or make
any settlement or compromise  which the Secured Party reasonably deems desirable
with respect to any or all Collateral,  and/or sell,  assign,  give an option or
options to  purchase  or  otherwise  dispose of and  deliver  any and all of the
Collateral (or contract to do any of the  foregoing),  in one or more parcels at
public  or  private  sale  or  sales,  in the  over-the-counter  market,  at any
exchange,  broker's  board or office of the Secured Party or elsewhere upon such
terms and  conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem
best,  for cash or on credit or for future  delivery  without  assumption of any
credit risk. The Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or
sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales,
to  purchase  the  whole  or any  part  of the  Collateral  so  sold  (and in so
purchasing  the Secured  Party may apply  towards the purchase  price the unpaid
amount of any Obligations) . The Secured Party shall have the right to apply any
Proceeds  from  time  to  time  held by it and  the  net  proceeds  of any  such
collection,  recovery,  receipt,  appropriation,   realization  or  sale,  after
deducting  all  reasonable  costs and expenses of every kind incurred in respect
thereof or  incidental to the care or  safekeeping  by the Secured Party (or any
agent or representative of the Secured Party) of any of the Collateral or in any
way relating to the Collateral or the rights,  remedies or powers of the Secured
Party hereunder,  including, without limitation,  reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements  of counsel to the Secured Party, to the payment of any and all of
the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured),  in such order and manner as the
Secured Party may elect,  and only after such  application and after the payment
by the  Secured  Party of any other  amount  required by any  provision  of law,
including, without limitation, Section 9-504(1)(c) of the Code, need the Secured
Party account for the surplus,  if any, to the Pledgor.  To the extent permitted
by  applicable  law, the Pledgor  waives all claims,  damages and demands it may
acquire  against the Secured  Party  arising out of the  exercise by the Secured
Party of any rights, remedies or powers hereunder except to the extent that such
claims, damages or demands arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Secured Party.  If any notice of a proposed sale or other  disposition of
Collateral shall be required by law, ten (10) calendar days prior written notice
of the time and place of any public  sale or of the time after which 


                                      -7-


any private  sale or other  intended  disposition  is to be made shall be deemed
reasonable.  The Pledgor  shall remain fully  liable for any  deficiency  if the
proceeds of any sale or other  disposition or any  application of the Collateral
are  insufficient  to pay the  Obligations  and the  costs and  expenses  of the
Secured  Party.  Nothing  contained in this  Agreement  shall be  interpreted or
construed  so as to require the  Secured  Party to realize  upon the  Collateral
prior to attempting to collect any of the Obligations, and the Secured Party may
exercise all of its various rights, remedies and powers in such order and manner
as Secured Party, in its discretion, shall deem advisable.

     9. Private Sales. (a) The Pledgor  recognizes that the Secured Party may be
unable to effect a public  sale of any or all the  Specified  Pledged  Stock (or
other applicable Collateral), by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities  Act and applicable  state  securities  laws or otherwise  (including
without limitation the  impracticability  of such a public sale due to the value
of the Specified Pledged Stock or otherwise),  and may be compelled to resort to
one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will
be obliged to agree,  among other things,  to acquire such  securities for their
own account for  investment  and not with a view to the  distribution  or resale
thereof.  The Pledgor  acknowledges  and agrees that any such  private  sale may
result in prices and other terms less  favorable than if such sale were a public
sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances,  agrees that any such private sale
shall be  deemed  to have been made in a  commercially  reasonable  manner.  The
Secured  Party  shall  be  under  no  obligation  to  delay a sale of any of the
Specified  Pledged Stock (or other  Collateral) for the period of time necessary
to  permit  the  registration  of such  securities  for  public  sale  under the
Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws.

     (b) The Pledgor further agrees to use Pledgor's best efforts to do or cause
to be done all such other acts as may be  necessary to make any sale or sales of
all or any portion of the Specified Pledged Stock (or other Collateral) pursuant
to this Pledge  Agreement  valid and binding and in compliance  with any and all
other  applicable  requirements of law. The Pledgor further agrees that a breach
of any of the  covenants  contained  in this  Section 9 will  cause  irreparable
injury to the Secured  Party,  that the Secured Party has no adequate  remedy at
law in  respect  of such  breach  and,  as a  consequence,  that  each and every
covenant contained in this Section 9 shall be specifically  enforceable  against
the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses
against  an action  for  specific  performance  of such  covenants  except for a
defense that no Event of Default has occurred.

     10.  Certain  Waivers.  The  Pledgor  waives  (i)  diligence,  presentment,
protest,  demand for payment and notice of default or  nonpayment to or upon the
Pledgor with respect to the Obligations or any other  obligations or liabilities
of the  Pledgor to the  Secured  Party and (ii) the  benefit of any  marshalling
doctrine with respect to the Secured Party's exercise of its rights, remedies or
powers hereunder or otherwise.

     11.  Limitation on Duties  Regarding  Collateral.  The Secured Party's sole
duty with respect to the custody,  safekeeping  and  physical  preservation  and
protection of the Collateral in its possession,  under Section 9-207 of the Code
or  otherwise,  shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Secured Party
deals with similar  securities  and  property  for its own account.  Neither the
Secured Party nor any of its  officers,  employees or agents shall be (i) liable
or  responsible  for any


                                      -8-


failure to demand,  exercise any options or rights with  respect to,  notify the
Pledgor of any conversions,  splits, calls or similar matter, collect or realize
upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or for any change in the
value of any  Collateral  (whether  before or after an Event of Default) or (ii)
under any  obligation to sell or otherwise  dispose of any  Collateral,  whether
upon the request of the Pledgor or otherwise.

     12. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein
contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with
an interest.

     13.  Severability.   Any  provision  of  this  Pledge  Agreement  which  is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction  shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such  prohibition  or  unenforceability  without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction,  and any such
prohibition  or  unenforceability  in any  jurisdiction  shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     14.  Paragraph  Headings.  The  paragraph  headings  used  in  this  Pledge
Agreement  are for  convenience  of  reference  only and  shall not  affect  the
construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

     15. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Waivers and Amendments.

     (a) The Secured Party shall not by any act (except by a written  instrument
executed and delivered by the Secured Party in accordance with  subparagraph (b)
below),  delay,  indulgence,  omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any
right,  remedy or power hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default.
No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising,  on the part of the Secured
Party, any right,  remedy or power shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No single
or partial  exercise of any right,  remedy or power hereunder shall preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,  remedy or
power. A waiver by the Secured Party of any right,  remedy or power hereunder on
any one occasion  shall not be construed as a bar to any right,  remedy or power
which the Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights,
remedies and powers of the Secured Party herein provided are cumulative,  may be
exercised  singly or  concurrently  and are not  exclusive of any other  rights,
remedies or powers provided by applicable law or any other agreement, instrument
or other document.  Secured Party may exercise any or all such rights,  remedies
and powers at any time(s) in any order which Secured Party chooses.

     (b)  None of the  terms  or  provisions  of this  Pledge  Agreement  may be
amended,  waived,  supplemented  or  otherwise  modified  except  by  a  written
instrument executed and delivered by the party sought to be charged.

     16. Successors and Assigns. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon the
successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of the Pledgor and shall inure to
the benefit of the Secured Party and its successors  and assigns.  Pledgor shall
not,  without the prior written consent of the Secured Party,  assign any of his
rights or obligations hereunder.



                                      -9-


     17. Notices.  Notices by one party to the other shall be in writing and may
be given by certified  mail, by overnight mail sent by Federal  Express or other
nationally  recognized overnight courier, or delivery by hand, addressed to such
party at the address set forth in the first paragraph hereof and shall be deemed
given (a) in the case of  certified  mail,  four (4)  Business  Days after being
deposited  in the  mail,  first  class  postage  pre-paid,  (b) in the  case  of
overnight mail, one (1) Business Day after being sent by overnight mail, and (c)
in the case of delivery by hand,  when  delivered.  Either  party may change its
address for delivery of notices by written notice to the other in the manner set
forth in this Section 17.

     18. Costs and Expenses.  The Pledgor  hereby agrees to pay or reimburse the
Secured  Party,  on demand,  for all  reasonable  costs and expenses  (including
without  limitation all reasonable  attorneys'  fees and  disbursements  and the
reasonable  fees  and  disbursements  of all  other  experts  including  without
limitation  all  accountants  and  appraisers)  incurred by the Secured Party in
connection  with  preserving,  amending,  defending,  protecting,  exercising or
enforcing  this  Pledge  Agreement  or any of its  rights,  remedies  and powers
hereunder,  or  attempting  to  do  any  of  the  foregoing,  including  without
limitation all  reasonable  costs and expenses  incurred in connection  with the
exercise of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Collateral.

     19. Integration.  This Pledge Agreement  represents the entire agreement of
the Pledgor and the Secured Party with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
there  are no  promises,  undertakings,  representations  or  warranties  by the
Secured Party  relative to the subject  matter hereof not expressly set forth or
referred to herein.

     20.  Gender.  Whenever the context  herein so requires,  the neuter  gender
includes the masculine or feminine, and the singular number includes the plural,
and vice-versa.

     21. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in
one or more counterparts,  each of which shall be considered an original but all
of which together shall be deemed one and the same instrument.

     22. Governing Law; Jury Trial Waiver.

     (a) THIS PLEDGE  AGREEMENT  AND THE RIGHTS AND  OBLIGATIONS  OF THE PLEDGOR
UNDER THIS PLEDGE  AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED
IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH,  THE  LAWS OF THE  STATE  OF NEW YORK  WITHOUT  REGARD  TO
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREUNDER.

     (b) THE PLEDGOR HEREBY  KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY  WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY AND
THE RIGHT THERETO IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND,  ARISING UNDER OR OUT
OF, OR OTHERWISE  RELATED TO OR CONNECTED WITH, THIS PROMISSORY NOTE AND/OR THIS
PLEDGE AGREEMENT.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the undersigned has executed and delivered this Pledge
Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

                                MIM CORPORATION
                           1996 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
                              STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN


                                    SECTION 1

                                    Purpose

     This MIM  CORPORATION  1996  NON-EMPLOYEE  DIRECTORS  STOCK  INCENTIVE PLAN
("Plan")  is intended to provide a means  whereby  MIM  Corporation,  a Delaware
corporation  (the  "Company"),  may,  through the grant of  non-qualified  stock
options  ("Options") to purchase common stock of the Company ("Common Stock") to
Non-Employee  Directors  (as defined in Section 3),  attract and retain  capable
independent  directors  and motivate such  independent  directors to promote the
best interests of the Company and of any Related Corporation.

     For purposes of the Plan, a Related  Corporation  of the Company shall mean
either a corporate  subsidiary of the Company,  as defined in section  424(f) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"),  or the corporate parent
of the Company,  as defined in section 424(e) of the Code.  Further,  as used in
the Plan, the term  "non-qualified  stock option" shall mean an option which, at
the time such option is granted,  does not qualify as an incentive  stock option
within the meaning of section 422 of the Code.


                                   SECTION 2

                                 Administration

     The Plan shall be  administered  by the  Company's  Compensation  Committee
("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  ("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.

     The Committee shall have full authority,  subject to the terms of the Plan,
to  interpret  the Plan,  but  shall  have no  discretion  with  respect  to the
selection of Non-Employee  Directors to receive Options, the number of shares of
Common  Stock  subject to the Plan,  setting  the  purchase  price for shares of
Common Stock subject to an Option at other than fair market value, the method or

                                      -3-


methods for determining the amount of Options to be granted to each Non-Employee
Director,  the timing of grants  hereunder  or with  respect to any other matter
which would cause this Plan to fail to comply  with Rule  16b-3(c)(2)(ii)  under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Subject to the foregoing, the Committee may
correct any defect,  supply any omission and reconcile any inconsistency in this
Plan and in any  Option  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  Non-Employee  Directors
(including  former  Non-Employee  Directors),  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 Option granted
under it.


                                   SECTION 3

                                   Eligibility

     The persons who shall be eligible to receive  Options  under the Plan shall
be those directors of the Company (the "Non-Employee Directors") who:

          (a) are not employees of the Company or any Related Corporation,

          (b) have not been employees of the Company or any Related  Corporation
     during the immediately preceding 12-month period, and

          (c) are  initially  elected to the Board of  Directors on or after the
     date of the  Plan's  adoption  by the Board of  Directors  (the  "Effective
     Date").



                                      -4-



                                   SECTION 4

                                      Stock

     Options may be granted  under the Plan to purchase up to a maximum of three
hundred  thousand  (300,000)  shares of the Company's  Common  Stock,  par value
$0.0001  per share,  subject  to  adjustment  as  hereinafter  provided.  Shares
issuable  under the Plan may be  authorized  but unissued  shares or  reacquired
shares, and the Company may purchase shares required for this purpose, from time
to time, if it deems such purchase to be advisable.

     If any Option  granted under the Plan expires or otherwise  terminates,  in
whole or in part, for any reason whatever  (including,  without limitation,  the
Non-Employee  Director's  surrender thereof) without having been exercised,  the
shares  subject to the  unexercised  portion of such Option shall continue to be
available  for the granting of Options under the Plan as fully as if such shares
had never been subject to an Option.

                                    SECTION 5

                              Granting of Options

     An option to purchase  20,000 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted  pursuant
to Section 8) automatically shall be granted to any person on the date he or she
first becomes a Non-Employee Director,  whether by reason of his or her election
by stockholders or appointment by the Board to be a director, or, if applicable,
the expiration of the 12-month period  specified in Section 3(b) with respect to
a present or future  director who had previously been an employee of the Company
or any  Related  Corporation;  provided,  that if a  Non-Employee  Director  who
previously received a grant of an Option under this Section 5 terminates service
as a director and is subsequently  elected or appointed to the Board again, such
director  shall not be eligible to receive a second  grant of Options  under the
Plan.

                                   SECTION 6

                         Terms and Conditions of Options

     Options  granted  pursuant  to  the  Plan  shall  include  expressly  or by
reference the following terms and conditions:

          (a) Number of Shares. A statement of the number of shares to which the
     Option pertains.



                                      -5-


          (b) Price.  A statement of the Option price which shall be  determined
     as follows:

               (1)  with  respect  to any  Option  granted  on or  prior  to the
          effective date of the Company's  initial public offering,  if any, the
          exercise price shall be the initial public offering price set forth on
          the cover page of the  prospectus  included  within  the  registration
          statement  for such  Offering as of the date it is declared  effective
          with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  provided  that  such
          offering is declared effective within ninety days after the grant date
          of such Option; otherwise, the exercise price shall be the fair market
          value of the optioned  shares of Common Stock as  determined as of the
          date of grant in accordance with Section 6(b)(2)(iv) hereinbelow; and

               (2) with respect to any Option  granted after the effective  date
          of the Company's  initial public offering,  if any, the exercise price
          shall be the fair market value of the optioned shares of Common Stock,
          which shall be:

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

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

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

                    (iv) if Sections  6(b)(2)(i) through (iii) are inapplicable,
               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.



                                      -6-


               Where  the fair  market  value of the  optioned  shares of Common
               Stock is determined under Section  6(b)(2)(ii) above, the average
               of the means  between the highest and lowest sales on the nearest
               date before and the nearest date after the date of grant is to be
               weighted  inversely  by the  respective  numbers of trading  days
               between  the  selling  dates  and the  date of grant  (i.e.,  the
               valuation   date),   in   accordance   with   Treas.   Reg.   ss.
               20.2031-2(b)(1).

          (c) Term.  Subject to earlier  termination  as  provided  in Section 8
     hereof,  the term of each  Option  shall be ten (10) years from the date of
     grant.

          (d) Exercise.  Each Option shall become  initially  exercisable in the
     following   amounts  and  upon  the  following   dates  provided  that  the
     Non-Employee  Director has served continuously as a director of the Company
     from the date of grant to and including  each such initial  exercise  date:
     (i) as to 6,667 shares, on the first anniversary date of the date of grant;
     (ii) as to an  additional  6,667  shares,  on the  later  of (A) the  first
     anniversary date of the grantee's first election to the Board subsequent to
     the date of grant or (B) the second  anniversary date of the date of grant;
     and (iii) as to the remaining  6,666 shares,  on the later of (A) the first
     anniversary  date of the grantee's  second election to the Board subsequent
     to the  date of  grant  or (B) the  third  anniversary  date of the date of
     grant.  Any Option shares,  the right to the purchase of which has accrued,
     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
     principal  office,  specifying  the  number of shares to be  purchased  and
     accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate price for such shares. Only
     full shares shall be issued under the Plan, and any fractional  share which
     might  otherwise be issuable upon exercise of an Option  granted  hereunder
     shall be forfeited.

          The Option price shall be payable in cash or its equivalent.

          (e)  Expiration  of  Term  or  Removal  of  Non-Employee  Director  as
     Director.  If a  Non-Employee  Director's  service as a  director  with the
     Company  terminates  prior to the expiration  date of his or her Option for
     any reason (such as,  without  limitation,  failure to be re-elected by the
     stockholders),


                                      -7-


     such Option may be  exercised  by the  Non-Employee  Director,  only to the
     extent of the  number  of shares  with  respect  to which the  Non-Employee
     Director could have exercised it on the date of such termination of service
     as a director,  at any time prior to the expiration or other termination of
     the Option as set forth in Section 6(c) hereof.

          (f) Non-Transferability. No Option shall be assignable or transferable
     by the  Non-Employee  Director  otherwise  than by  will or by the  laws of
     descent  and  distribution,  and during the  lifetime  of the  Non-Employee
     Director,  the Option  shall be  exercisable  only by him or her or, in the
     case  of his or her  legal  disability,  by his or her  guardian  or  legal
     representative.  If the  Non-Employee  Director  is  married at the time of
     exercise  and if the  Non-Employee  Director  so  requests  at the  time of
     exercise,  the certificate or certificates  shall be registered in the name
     of the  Non-Employee  Director  and  the  Non-Employee  Director's  spouse,
     jointly,  with  right of  survivorship.  In the  event of the  Non-Employee
     Director's   death,  the  Option  may  be  exercised  by  the  Non-Employee
     Director's estate,  personal  representative or beneficiary if, when and to
     the extent  that the  Non-Employee  Director  would  have been so  entitled
     hereunder  but for such death  after  giving  effect to all the  provisions
     hereof including Section 6(e) hereinabove.

          (g) Rights as a  Shareholder.  A  Non-Employee  Director 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.

          (h) Listing and  Registration of Shares.  Each Option 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 Option or the purchase of shares  thereunder,  or that
     action by the Company or by the  Non-Employee  Director  should be taken in
     order to obtain an exemption from any such requirement,  no such Option may
     be  exercised,  in  whole  or in  part,  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  Non-Employee
     Director  or his 


                                      -8-


     or her legal  representative  or  beneficiary  may also be required to give
     satisfactory assurance that shares purchased upon exercise of an Option are
     being  purchased for  investment and not with a view to  distribution,  and
     certificates representing such shares may be legended accordingly.


                                   SECTION 7

                      Option Agreements - Other Provisions

     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 as the  Committee  shall deem  advisable.  Each
Non-Employee Director shall enter into, and be bound by, such Option Agreements.

                                   SECTION 8

                               Capital Adjustments

     The  number of shares  which  may be  issued  under the Plan,  as stated in
Section 4 hereof, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding
Options  under  the Plan (as well as the  Option  price  per  share  under  such
outstanding Options),  shall, subject to the provisions of section 424(a) of the
Code, be adjusted  proportionately  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 as,
for  example,  a  merger,  consolidation,  acquisition  of  property  or  stock,
separation,  reorganization, or liquidation), and, provision is not made for the
continuance  and assumption of Options under the Plan, or the  substitution  for
such  Options of new  Options  to acquire  securities  or other  property  to be
delivered in connection with the transaction,  the Committee shall, upon written
notice to the holders of Options,  provide  that all  unexercised  Options  will
terminate  immediately prior to the consummation of such merger,  consolidation,
acquisition, reorganization,  liquidation, sale or transfer unless exercised (to
the extent then  exercisable)  by the holder  within a specified  number of days
(which shall not be less than seven (7) days) following the date of such notice.


                                      -9-



                                   SECTION 9

                     Amendment or Discontinuance of the Plan

          (a)  General.  The Board from time to time may suspend or  discontinue
     the Plan or amend it in any respect whatsoever,  provided, however, that an
     amendment  to the Plan shall  require  shareholder  approval  (given in the
     manner set forth in Section 9(b) below) if such amendment would materially:

               (1)  increase  the benefits  accruing to  Non-Employee  Directors
          under the Plan;

               (2)  increase  the number of shares of Common  Stock which may be
          issued to Non-Employee Directors under the Plan; or

               (3) modify the  requirements  as to eligibility to participate in
          the Plan.

          The foregoing notwithstanding,  no such suspension,  discontinuance or
     amendment  shall  materially   impair  the  rights  of  any  holder  of  an
     outstanding  Option  without  the  consent  of such  holder.  Further,  the
     provisions  of this Plan  establishing  the  directors  eligible to receive
     Options  under this Plan,  the  timing of the grants of such  Options,  the
     purchase price for shares subject to Options,  the number of Shares covered
     by each Option, the method or methods for determining the amount of Options
     to be granted to each Non-Employee Director, and any other provision of the
     Plan which,  if amended  more than once every six  months,  would cause the
     Plan to fail to comply with Rule  16b-3(c)(2)(ii)(B)  under the  Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934, shall not be amended more than once every six months.

          (b) Shareholder Approval Requirements. Shareholder approval must be by
     either:

               (1) the  written  consent of the  holders  of a  majority  of the
          outstanding  shares of Common Stock complying with the requirements of
          the certificate of incorporation  and bylaws of the Company and of the
          applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or



                                      -10-


               (2) a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock present,
          or  represented,  and  entitled  to vote  at a  meeting  duly  held in
          accordance with the  requirements of the certificate of  incorporation
          and bylaws of the  Company  and of the  applicable  provisions  of the
          Delaware General Corporation Law.

                                   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 day
immediately prior to the tenth anniversary of the date of the Plan's adoption by
the  Board,  and no  Options  hereunder  shall be  granted  thereafter.  Nothing
contained in this Section 10,  however,  shall terminate or affect the continued
existence of rights  created under Options issued  hereunder and  outstanding on
said Plan termination date, which by their terms extend beyond such date.

                                   SECTION 11

                              Shareholder Approval

     The Effective Date of this Plan shall be the date of the Plan's adoption by
the  Board;  provided,  however,  that  if  the  Plan  is  not  approved  by the
shareholders in the manner described in Section 9(b),  within twelve (12) months
after said date, the Plan and all Options  granted  hereunder  shall be null and
void.

                                   SECTION 12

                                  Miscellaneous

          (a) Governing  Law. The  operation of, and the rights of  Non-Employee
     Directors  under,  the Plan, the Option  Agreements and any Options granted
     hereunder 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 Option,  or any other right  hereunder,  unless and until the
     Committee shall have granted such individual an Option, and then his or her
     rights shall be only such as are provided by the Option Agreement.



                                      -11-


          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, any provisions of
     the  Plan  or  the   Option   Agreement   with  a   Non-Employee   Director
     notwithstanding, the granting of an Option to a Non-Employee Director shall
     not entitle that  Non-Employee  Director to continue to serve as a director
     of the Company or a Related  Corporation or affect the terms and conditions
     of such service.

          (c) Indemnification of Board and Committee. Without limiting any other
     rights of  indemnification  which  they may have from the  Company  and any
     Related  Corporation,  the  members  of the  Board and the  members  of the
     Committee  shall be  indemnified  by the  Company  against  all  costs  and
     expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with any claim,  action,
     suit,  or  proceeding to which they or any of them may be a party by reason
     of any action taken or failure to act under,  or in  connection  with,  the
     Plan,  or any Option  granted  thereunder,  and against all amounts paid by
     them in settlement  thereof  (provided such settlement is approved by legal
     counsel  selected  by the  Company)  or paid by them in  satisfaction  of a
     judgment in any such action,  suit, or proceeding,  except a judgment based
     upon a finding of willful  misconduct or  recklessness  on their part. Upon
     the making or institution of any such claim,  action,  suit, or proceeding,
     the Board or Committee  member shall notify the Company in writing,  giving
     the Company an  opportunity,  at its own expense,  to handle and defend the
     same before such Board or Committee  member  undertakes to handle it on his
     or her own behalf.

          (d)  Application of Funds.  The proceeds  received by the Company from
     the sale of Common Stock  pursuant to Options  granted under the Plan shall
     be used for general  corporate  purposes.  Any cash received in payment for
     shares upon  exercise of an Option to purchase  Common Stock shall be added
     to the general  funds of the  Company  and shall be used for its  corporate
     purposes.

          (e) No Obligation to Exercise Option.  The granting of an Option shall
     impose no obligation upon a Non-Employee Director to exercise such Option.

                                      * * *

                                 MIM CORPORATION
                              1999 CASH BONUS PLAN
                                FOR KEY EMPLOYEES

                             Effective March 1, 1999

                               SECTION 1 - Purpose

     This MIM CORPORATION 1999 CASH BONUS PLAN FOR KEY EMPLOYEES (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 such terms
are defined  below) may,  through the grant of Bonuses (as defined below) to Key
Employees (as defined below), attract and retain such Key Employees and motivate
them  to  exercise  their  best  efforts  on  behalf  of  the  Company  and  its
Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

     As used in the Plan, the following 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.

     "Bonus" means an award  granted to a Key Employee  pursuant to Section 4 of
this Plan.

     "Code"  means the Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended from time to
time.

     "Employee"  means any  employee  of the  Company  or its  Subsidairies  and
Affiliates (including any directors and officers who also are employees).

     "Key  Employee"  means any Employee who is  identified by the Committee (as
defined  below) as being  instrumental  to the  success of the  Company  and its
Subsidiaries  and  Affiliates  and  who  is  designated  by  the  Committee  for
participation in the Plan, as provided in Section 4.

     "Subsidiary" means any corporation (whether or not in existence at the time
the Plan is adopted) which,  at the time a Bonus 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)  non-employee
directors (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(3) under the Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934, or any successor  thereto) who are also outside  directors  (within
the meaning of Treas. Reg. ss. 1.162-27(e)(3),  or any successor thereto) 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.

     The  Committee  shall  have  full  and  final  authority  in  its  absolute
discretion,  subject to the terms of the Plan, to select the Key Employees to be
granted  Bonuses under the Plan, to grant Bonuses on behalf of the Company,  and
to set the date of grant and the other terms of such Bonuses.  The Committee may
correct any defect,  supply any omission and reconcile any  inconsistency in the
Plan and in any Bonus granted hereunder in the manner and to the extent it shall
deem desirable.  Notwithstanding the preceding, the Committee shall not have the
power or  authority to take any action with respect to a Bonus which is intended
to qualify as  "performance-based  compensation"  within the  meaning of section
162(m) of the Code if the taking of such action  would cause such Bonus to cease
to so qualify.

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


                             SECTION 3 - Eligibility

     The class of persons  who shall be eligible  to receive  Bonuses  under the
Plan  shall be Key  Employees.  More  than one  Bonus  may be  granted  to a Key
Employee under the Plan.


                            SECTION 4 - Bonus Awards

     (a)  Granting  of  Bonuses.  From  time to time  until  the  suspension  or
termination of the Plan,  the Committee may, on behalf of the Company,  grant to
Key  Employees  such  Bonuses as it  determines  are  warranted,  subject to the
limitations  of the Plan.  The  granting  of a Bonus under the Plan shall not be
deemed either to entitle the recipient to, or to disqualify the recipient  from,
any other  Bonus  award  under the Plan or under any other  plan.  In making any
determination  as to whether an Employee shall be considered a Key Employee,  as
to  whether  a Key  Employee  shall be  granted  a Bonus and as to the terms and
amount of any such Bonus,  the  Committee  shall take into account the duties of
the Key Employee,  the Committee's  views as to his or her present and potential
contributions  to the success of the Company or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates,
and such other factors as the Committee shall deem relevant in accomplishing the
purposes of the Plan.

     (b) Terms and Conditions of Bonuses.  Bonuses granted  pursuant to the Plan
may be made outright or may be subject to the  achievement  of such  performance
objectives over such period as the Committee, in its discretion,  may determine.
Different  performance  objectives and periods may be established  for different
Bonus awards.  In its discretion,  the Committee may condition the granting of a
Bonus on the  execution  by the Key Employee of a written  agreement  containing
such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate.








     (c) Payment.  All Bonuses,  to the extent earned,  shall be paid in cash as
soon as reasonably  practicable following the date of grant by the Committee or,
in the case of a Bonus the payment of which is contingent  upon the  achievement
of  performance  objectives,   upon  the  Committee's  determination  that  such
objectives have been satisfied within the prescribed period of time.

               SECTION 5 - 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  Bonus award,  in
any respect whatsoever,  except that in the event that Bonuses awarded under the
Plan are intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" as described in
section 162(m) of the Code,  then any amendment to the Plan or to an outstanding
Bonus award which would require shareholder approval pursuant to Treas. Reg. ss.
1.162-27(e)(4),  or any successor thereto,  to preserve such qualification shall
not be made absent 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. The foregoing  notwithstanding,  no
such suspension,  discontinuance or amendment shall materially impair the rights
of any Key Employee in respect of an outstanding Bonus award without the consent
of such Key Employee.

                           SECTION 6 - Effective Date

     This Plan is effective as of March 1, 1999.

                            SECTION 7 - Miscellaneous

     (a) Governing Law. The Plan, and the Bonus awards granted thereunder, 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
Committee  shall be deemed  to give any  individual  any  right to be  granted a
Bonus, or any other right  hereunder,  unless and until the Committee shall have
granted such  individual a Bonus,  and then his or her rights shall be only such
as are  provided by the Plan and by the  Committee  in granting  such Bonus.  No
provision  of the Plan or any Bonus  shall limit the right of the Company or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate,  in its discretion,  to terminate the employment of any
Key Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever.

     (c) Non-Transferability. No Bonus award shall be assignable or transferable
by the  Key  Employee  otherwise  than by will  or by the  laws of  descent  and
distribution.

     (d) Withholding to Satisfy Tax  Obligations.  The obligation of the Company
to pay cash to a Key  Employee in  connection  with a Bonus  awarded to such Key
Employee shall be subject to applicable federal, state and local tax withholding
requirements.






     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  MIM  Corporation has caused these presents to be duly
executed, under seal, this 1st day of March, 1999.
