                      TERMINATION OF SERVICE AGREEMENT AND
                    AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS

to as "RESPONSE"), ONCOLOGY & HEMATOLOGY ASSOCIATES OF WEST BROWARD, P.A., a
Florida professional association ("OHAWB"), and the Stockholders of OHAWB who
are in the R&K division of OHAWB (the "STOCKHOLDERS"). (Each of ROI, RO-T, OHAWB
and the Stockholders are sometimes referred to herein individually as a "Party"
and collectively as "Parties.")

                                    RECITALS:

        WHEREAS, ROI and certain of its wholly owned affiliates are
debtors-in-possession under a case filed under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the
United States Code (the "BANKRUPTCY CODE") on March 29, 2001 (the "PETITION
DATE") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of
Tennessee (the "BANKRUPTCY COURT"); and

        WHEREAS, ROI, OHAWB and the Stockholders entered into a Service
Agreement dated AUGUST 1, 1997 (the "SERVICE AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which ROI
agreed to perform certain practice management functions described therein in
exchange for payment by OHAWB to ROI of various fees, as described therein; and

        WHEREAS, the parties mutually desire to terminate the Service Agreement
and all of the parties' respective rights, obligations, and liabilities
thereunder (except as otherwise provided herein) and under the Notes, and to
provide for the transfer and/or assumption of certain assets and liabilities,
all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, the purchase price described hereunder and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as
follows:

        1. RECITALS. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are
incorporated herein by reference.

        2. TERMINATION OF SERVICE AGREEMENT.

                (a) TERMINATION OF SERVICE AGREEMENT. Subject to the performance
by each of the Parties of their respective obligations under this Agreement, the
approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by the
Bankruptcy Court and the survival of any obligations which by the terms of this
Agreement are intended to survive, the parties hereby terminate the Service
Agreement effective as of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined). As of the
close of business on the Closing Date, ROI and OHAWB shall be relieved of all
obligations imposed upon



<PAGE>

them pursuant to the Service Agreement and shall have no further duties or
obligations to one another except those specifically set forth in this
Agreement.

                (b) TERMINATION FEE. As consideration for the termination of the
Service Agreement and the mutual release of the parties from their respective
obligations thereunder, and as consideration for all other services performed by
ROI for and on behalf of OHAWB, OHAWB shall pay to ROI at Closing a termination
fee (the "TERMINATION FEE") (which amount includes without limitation, a payment
of $106,000.00 (which represents an amount equal to two (2) times an annualized
EBITDA amount of approximately $53,000.00, which EBITDA includes the R&K
Division of OHAWB and a seventy-five percent (75%) allocable portion of OHAWB's
ancillary profit center, but excludes the WWW division, using the ROI/OHAWB
Statement of Operations for the period ending May 31, 2001)) in an amount equal
to the value of the Transferred Accounts Receivable (as defined in SECTION 2(C)
below) as of the Closing Date (as defined in SECTION 2(C) below). In payment of
the Termination Fee, OHAWB agrees on the Closing Date to sell, convey, transfer,
assign, and deliver all of its right, title, and interest in and to all the
Non-Medicare Accounts Receivable to ROI and shall grant to ROI a first priority
security interest, to be evidenced by a Security Agreement in the form attached
hereto as EXHIBIT 2(B), in and to the proceeds of all the Medicare Accounts
Receivable. OHAWB hereby agrees that it shall pay over to ROI from and after the
Closing Date all amounts actually received by it in respect of all the Medicare
Accounts Receivable consistent with the post-closing covenant set forth in
SECTION 15(D) of this Agreement.

                (c) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. "Transferred Accounts Receivable" for
purposes of this Agreement shall be defined to mean both the Medicare Accounts
Receivable (as defined below) and the Non-Medicare Accounts Receivable (as
defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, (i) "Medicare Accounts
Receivable" shall refer to the outstanding Medicare, Medicaid, and
CHAMPUS/TriCare program receivables (including both the R&K Division of OHAWB
and OHAWB's ancillary profit center) as of the Closing Date, as set forth on
EXHIBIT 2(C)(i); and (ii) "Non-Medicare Accounts Receivable" shall refer to all
outstanding Accounts Receivable (as defined in the Service Agreement) other than
the Medicare Accounts Receivable (including both the R&K division of OHAWB and
OHAWB's ancillary profit center) as of the Closing Date, as set forth on EXHIBIT
2(C)(ii). The parties acknowledge that the listings on EXHIBITS 2(C)(i) AND (ii)
will not be complete on the Closing Date and agree to amend EXHIBIT 2(C)(i) and
EXHIBIT 2(C)(ii) to more accurately reflect the actual accounts receivable that
are the subject of this SECTION 2(C) within thirty (30) days after Closing.

                (d) RECEIVABLES LINE. Pursuant to SECTION 5.12 of the Service
Agreement, ROI established an accounts receivable line of credit (the
"RECEIVABLES LINE" as described therein), constituting a line of credit
available to OHAWB and secured by a first priority security interest in and to
all Accounts Receivable (as defined in the Service Agreement). ROI shall deliver
such releases of the Receivables Line, as may be necessary to satisfy all
liability of OHAWB and/or its principals under the Receivables Line and to
release OHAWB's Accounts Receivable arising after the Closing Date from any
liens, including, without limitation, UCC-3 amendments to financing statements,
limiting the lien of ROI and/or any other party claiming by or through ROI to
the Accounts Receivable, to the actual Accounts Receivable as of the Closing
Date.

                        (i) All property, furniture, fixtures, and equipment
                currently utilized by OHAWB in its practice at any location, a
                list of which is attached as EXHIBIT 3(A)(I) hereto and

                        (ii) All usable supply inventory, including
                pharmaceuticals (but not "replacement drugs" as such term has

                on hand at the offices of OHAWB and in transit, as listed on
                EXHIBIT 3(A)(II) hereto and incorporated herein by reference
                (the "SUPPLY INVENTORY");

                        (iii) All of Response's rights in and to all of the
                unused portion of expenses that have been prepaid in connection
                with the assets transferred hereunder ("PREPAID EXPENSES") and
                in deposits and advances that have been paid in connection
                therewith, including without limitation, the Premises Leases and
                the Equipment Leases ("DEPOSITS AND ADVANCES"). The Deposits and
                Advances and Prepaid Expenses are listed and described on
                EXHIBIT 3(A)(III) attached hereto and incorporated herein by
                reference; and

                        (iv) All of the goodwill associated with OHAWB's
                practice.

                (b) CONSIDERATION FOR THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS. The sole
consideration payable for the purchase and sale of the assets described in
SECTION 3(A), above, shall be OHAWB's assumption of those certain lease
obligations described in SECTION 3(C), below.

                (c) PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT LEASES. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, by assignment or other appropriate
instrument of transfer, Response shall assign to OHAWB the premises lease for
the 7431 North University Drive, Suite 110, Tamarac, Florida business location
(the "ASSIGNED LEASE") and OHAWB shall assume and agree to perform and to pay
when due all obligations on the Assigned Lease and the Equipment Leases (as
defined below) arising from and after the Closing Date. All obligations in
respect of the Assigned Lease and the Equipment Leases shall have been cured and
paid current by Response on a prorated basis through the Closing Date. A copy of
the Assigned Lease has been provided to OHAWB. Copies of all of the leases on
equipment and other tangible personal property to be assumed by OHAWB (the
"EQUIPMENT LEASES") have been provided to OHAWB and a listing of same is
attached as composite EXHIBIT 3(C) hereto. Response agrees to file with the
Bankruptcy Court such applicable motions as may be allowed and permitted under
11 U.S.C. ss. 365 in order to approve the assumption and assignment of the
Assigned Lease and the Equipment Leases to OHAWB. A final,



                                       3
<PAGE>

non-appealable Order from the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the assumption and
assignment of the Assigned Lease and the Equipment Leases shall be procured by
Response in advance of the Closing Date (as defined below). Except to the extent
required under 11 U.S.C. ss. 365(b)(1) (in respect of the obligation of Response
to cure defaults under executory contracts or unexpired leases), Response shall
only be obligated for and shall indemnify OHAWB from and hold it harmless
against any amounts due under the Assigned Lease or the Equipment Leases through
the Closing Date and OHAWB shall be obligated for and shall indemnify Response
from and hold it harmless against any amounts from and after the Closing Date.

                (d) ACCOUNTS PAYABLE. Response is obligated to various unsecured
creditors of Response's estate. OHAWB shall not and does not assume any
pre-Closing obligations with respect to such creditors pursuant to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

                (e) TAX FREE. Notwithstanding anything stated in this Agreement,
the sale and transfer of assets from Response to OHAWB as described herein is
intended to be made in contemplation of a plan and therefore free of any stamp
tax or similar tax pursuant to SECTION 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

        4. COVENANTS PRIOR TO CLOSING.

or after the Closing Date, will execute, acknowledge and deliver any further
documents, instruments, assignments, and other instruments of transfer,
reasonably requested by the other party, and will take any other action
consistent with the terms of this Agreement that may reasonably be requested by
the other party for the purpose of assigning, transferring, granting, conveying,
and confirming to the other party, or reducing to possession, any or all
property to be conveyed and transferred by this Agreement.

        13. BROKERS. Each of the parties represents and warrants that it has
dealt with no broker or finder in connection with any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and, insofar as it


                                       10

<PAGE>

knows, no person or entity is entitled to a commission or finder's fee in
connection with any of these transactions except to the extent that the
President and CEO of ROI and the Chief Financial Officer of ROI may receive
additional compensation for having obtained the satisfaction of debt by virtue,
in part, of the closing of this Agreement. Response, OHAWB and the Stockholders
each agree to indemnify and hold harmless one another against any loss,
liability, damage, cost, claim, or expense incurred by reason of any brokerage,
commission, or finder's fee alleged to be payable because of any act, omission,
or statement of the indemnifying party.

        14. COSTS. Except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement, each
of the parties shall pay all costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by it
in negotiating and preparing this Agreement and in closing and carrying out the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

        15. ADDITIONAL POST-CLOSING COVENANTS.

                (a) NON-SOLICITATION. OHAWB covenants that, for a period of two
(2) years after Closing, neither it nor OHAWB's Representatives (as defined in
SECTION 7(A) above), successors, or assigns will actively solicit or attempt to
influence any employee of Response to terminate his or her relationship with
Response nor will it employ any such individual or former Response employee
(within twelve (12) months of the effective date of the individual's termination
of his or her employment with Response). This provision shall have no
applicability to the employees identified on EXHIBIT 8.

                (b) EXHIBITS. The parties agree that they will amend EXHIBITS
2(c)(ii) and 2(c)(ii) within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date to reflect
the actual inventory, prepaid expenses, deposits, advance and accounts payable,
as appropriate and applicable and consistent with the prior practices of OHAWB
and Response, as of the Closing Date.

                (c) RETAINAGE PAYMENT. Notwithstanding the termination of the
Service Agreement, ROI shall cause to be paid to OHAWB, or to the individual
physicians employed by OHAWB entitled to such payment, as appropriate, at
Closing, eighty percent (80%) of the average Retainage Payment such physician
received during the months of May, June and July, 2001 as a partial payment of
the Retainage Payment applicable to the period beginning November 1, 2001 and
ending on the Closing Date. The balance of the Retainage Payments shall be
tendered in a manner consistent with prior practice between the parties.

                (d) POST-CLOSING COLLECTIONS. To assist ROI in collecting the
Accounts Receivable, OHAWB will promptly cooperate and assist in such collection
efforts as reasonably requested by ROI. In regard to both Non-Medicare Accounts
Receivable and Medicare Accounts Receivable, OHAWB shall continue to receive
collections on account of said Accounts Receivable consistent with the customary
practice prior to the Closing Date and shall pay an amount equal to all amounts
actually received by them and which are attributable to the Accounts Receivable
to ROI not less frequently than twice per week. Further, OHAWB and the
Stockholders agree to exercise reasonable care and diligence in its and their
assistance to ROI with respect to collection efforts relating to the Accounts
Receivable and shall not take any action that is inconsistent with either
applicable law, rule, or regulation affecting the collection of debts and/or
prior collection practices. The parties acknowledge and agree that in the event
the aforesaid procedure in regard to payments on


                                       11

<PAGE>

account of the Medicare Accounts Receivable is not permitted under applicable
laws, rules, or regulations affecting same, then the parties shall use such
other reasonable means to effect substantially the same results. As to any and
all pending hearings and appeals relating to Medicare Accounts Receivable,
OHAWB, and the Stockholders individually, each agree to exercise their
respective best efforts to cooperate with and assist ROI in pursuing such
matters.

        16. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

                (d) If any part of this Agreement or any other Agreement entered
into pursuant hereto is contrary to, prohibited by or deemed invalid under
applicable law or regulation, such provision shall be inapplicable and deemed

so far as possible.

                (e) In this Agreement, the use of any gender shall be deemed to

wherever it appears appropriate from the context.

                (f) The failure or delay of any party at any time to require
performance by another party of any provision of this Agreement, even if known,
shall not affect the rights of such party to require performance of that
provision or to exercise any right, power, or remedy hereunder, and any waiver
by any party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be
construed as a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right, power,
or remedy under this Agreement. No notice to or demand on any party in any case
shall, of itself, entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances.

                (g) Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is
intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement
on any person other than the parties hereto and their respective legal
representatives, successors and permitted assigns, nor is anything in this
Agreement intended to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any
third persons to any party to this Agreement, nor shall any provision give any
third persons any right of subrogation or action over or against any party to
this Agreement.

                (h) No remedy herein conferred upon any party is intended to be
exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. No single
or partial exercise by any party of any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall
preclude any other or further exercise thereof.

                (i) This Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in or accordance
with, the internal laws of the State of Florida without regard to principles of

or relating to this Agreement shall be brought in the Bankruptcy Court, if
available, or otherwise in a court of the State

of Florida, Broward County, or in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Florida, having subject matter jurisdiction thereof, and
both parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such forum.

                (k) Without the prior written consent of the other party,
neither party will disclose any term or condition of this Agreement to any
person or entity except that such disclosure may be made (i) to any lender to or
other person in a business relationship with any of the parties to whom such
disclosure is necessary in order to satisfy any of the conditions to the
consummation of this Agreement; (ii) to the extent appropriate, by each party,
to employees and legal counsel of that party; (iii) to the extent the party
making such disclosure believes in good faith that such disclosure is required
by law (in which case such party will consult with the other party prior to
making such disclosure), and (iv) to the extent such disclosure is required in
order to obtain the approval of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Tennessee. OHAWB hereby consents to a public announcement
Response will make on or after the Closing Date announcing the consummation of
the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no such press release or other public announcement related to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby will be issued by any party
hereto without the prior approval of the other party, except that any party may
make such public disclosure which it believes in good faith to be required by
law (in which case such party will consult with the other party prior to making
such disclosure).

                (l) Each covenant set forth in SECTIONS 5(B), 6, 7, 15, and 16
of this Agreement shall survive the Closing and delivery of the documents and
other deliverables contemplated herein.

                (m) If any legal action or other proceeding is brought for the
enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach,
default, or misrepresentation in connection with any provisions of this
Agreement, the successful or prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to
recover reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, court costs and all expenses
even if not taxable as court costs (including without limitation, all attorneys'
fees and expenses incident to any appeals), incurred in that action or
proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which such party or parties may
be entitled.

                (n) The parties hereby agree from time to time to execute and
deliver such further and other transfers, assignments and documents and do all
matters and things which may be convenient or necessary to more effectively and
completely carry out the intentions of this Agreement.

                (o) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

                (p) The parties to this Agreement understand and agree that the
consideration recited in this Agreement is the sole and only consideration for
this Agreement. Further, the parties agree that no unrecited promise, inducement
