     2.1  Preliminary Purchase Price; Payment of Preliminary Purchase Price.

          (a)  At the Closing, the Buyer shall pay an amount (the "Preliminary

Sheet, less, if the Sybase Agreement is not assigned to Buyer, the amount
prepaid thereunder as reflected on the Latest Balance Sheet under the account
identified as "Software Licenses" included in the "Other Assets" account. The
Preliminary Purchase Price shall be payable by delivery of (a) Two Million One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,100,000) in cash and (b) the Buyer's senior
promissory note, in the form attached to the Loan Agreement, in the principal
amount equal to the Preliminary Purchase Price less Two Million One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($2,100,000) (the "Purchase Note"). In connection with the
issuance of the Purchase Note, the Buyer and the Seller shall also enter into a
Loan Agreement as of the Closing Date in the form attached as Exhibit B (the
"Loan Agreement"). The Preliminary Purchase Price (and therefore the principal
amount due under the Purchase Note) will be subject to post-Closing adjustment
pursuant to Section 2.2.

          (b)  For purposes of this Agreement,

               (i)  the term "Value of the Business" means the sum of (A) the
Net Tangible Asset Value of the Business and (B) the Intangible Asset Value of
the Business;

               (ii) the term "Net Tangible Asset Value" means the assets
(excluding the Intangible Assets) minus the liabilities as shown on the Latest
Balance Sheet or the Closing Balance Sheet, as the case may be, minus (or plus
if such amount is a negative number) the sum of the value shown on the
applicable balance sheet of following (to the extent such following

                                       4.


<PAGE>

items are collectively in excess of reserves already reflected on the applicable
balance sheet): (A) all used or damaged equipment or components held in
inventory by Seller that is not capable of being refurbished by Seller; and (B)
all equipment or components held in inventory by Seller that Seller does not
reasonably expect to be sold during calendar year 1999 based upon market demand
for such equipment or components during the twelve months preceding the date of
this Agreement;

               (iii) the term "Specified Intangible Assets" means the assets
included in the accounts identified as (A) "Assets Under Construction Associated
with Software Development" and included within the Property, Plant and Equipment

     2.2  Purchase Price Adjustment

          (a)  As soon as possible, but in any event on or before the 60/th/ day
following the Closing Date, the Seller and its independent accountants
("Seller's Accountants") shall prepare and distribute to the Buyer and Buyer's
independent accountants ("Buyer's Accountants") an unaudited statement of assets
and liabilities for the Business being acquired hereunder (which shall exclude
Excluded Assets and Liabilities Not Assumed) as of the close of business on the
Closing Date, including a calculation of Value of the Business (the "Draft
Closing Balance Sheet"). The Seller will prepare the Draft Closing Balance Sheet
on a basis consistent with the preparation of the Latest Balance Sheet. The
Draft Closing Balance Sheet shall also contain a reconciliation to the Audited
Carve-out Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 1997.

          (b)  Within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the Draft
Closing Balance Sheet, Buyer will deliver to the Seller and Seller's Accountants
a written statement specifying the amount in dispute and describing in
reasonable detail the basis for such dispute. The parties shall use reasonable
efforts to resolve any such objections in good faith, but if they do not obtain
a final resolution within thirty (30) calendar days after the Buyer has
delivered the statement of objections and if the items remaining in dispute are
such that the Purchase Price would be adjusted by more than $50,000, then an
independent accounting firm which shall be mutually acceptable to the parties
shall be retained to resolve any remaining objections (the "Arbitrating
Accountants") and shall within forty-five (45) calendar days after submission
determine and report to the parties upon such remaining disputed items. The
parties shall bear the fees and disbursements of the Arbitrating Accountants in
the same proportion that their respective positions are confirmed or rejected by
the Arbitrating Accountants. The determination of the

                                       5.


<PAGE>

Arbitrating Accountants will be conclusive and binding on the parties. The
statement setting forth the final determinations pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)
is referred to herein as the "Closing Balance Sheet." Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Section 2.2 to the contrary, if the items successfully
disputed by the Buyer are such that the Purchase Price would be adjusted by less
than $50,000, no adjustment to the Purchase Price shall be made and the amount
of any adjustment that would otherwise be made shall be counted towards the
$300,000 threshold of Buyer Indemnifiable Losses specified in Section 11.3(b).
Any item disputed by Buyer that is resolved pursuant to this Section 2.2 may not
be asserted as a basis for a claim for indemnity by Seller under Article 11.

          (c)  If the Value of the Business calculated from the Closing Balance
Sheet exceeds the Preliminary Purchase Price, then the principal amount of the
Purchase Note shall be increased by an amount equal to such excess. If the Value
of the Business calculated from the Closing Balance Sheet is less than the
Preliminary Purchase Price, then the principal amount of the Purchase Note shall
be reduced by an amount equal to such difference. In either case, the interest
due under the Purchase Note shall be adjusted retroactively to the Closing Date
based on the final Purchase Price. The Preliminary Purchase Price, as adjusted
pursuant to this Section 2.2, shall be referred to herein as the "Purchase
Price." Promptly following the determination of the Purchase Price pursuant to
this Section 2.2, Buyer shall execute and deliver to the Seller in exchange for
the return of the original Purchase Note an amended and restated Purchase Note
reflecting such increase or reduction, as the case may be.

     2.3  Assumption of Liabilities.

          (a)  As additional consideration for the Purchased Assets, the Buyer
shall, pursuant to an assumption agreement to be executed and delivered at
Closing in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the "Assumption Agreement"),
assume the following liabilities and obligations of the Seller relating to the
Business (the "Assumed Liabilities"):

               (i)   those obligations and Liabilities arising under the
Assigned Contracts;

               (ii)  all Liabilities arising out of the operation of the
Business after the Closing Date;

               (iii) all repair, maintenance and product warranty claims arising
with respect to products of the Business sold before, on or after the date of
the Closing, including without limitation, with respect to products leased under
the Excluded Leases;

               (iv)  the Liabilities of the Seller to the Business Employees (as
defined in Section 3.14) to the extent set forth in Section 5.9;

               (v)   all Liabilities of the Business that are reflected on the
face of the Latest Balance Sheet and Liabilities of the same type which arise
out of the operation of the Business through and including the Closing Date in
the Ordinary Course of Business and which are reflected on the Closing Balance
Sheet;

                                       6.


<PAGE>

               (vi)   all Liabilities, obligations and commitments related to
the Intellectual Property included as part of the Purchased Assets;

               (vii)  all Liabilities and obligations with respect to product
return claims arising with respect to products of the Business sold before, on
or after the Closing Date; and

               (viii) all Liabilities and obligations to continue Seller's
program for attaining Year 2000 compliance of the software and other systems
included as part of the Purchased Assets.

          (b)  Except for the Assumed Liabilities, the Buyer shall not assume
any other Liabilities of the Seller, whether due or to become due, absolute or
contingent, direct or indirect (the "Liabilities Not Assumed"), including but
not limited to the following:

               (i)   any liability or obligation arising from any third party
product liability claim which claim is based upon an occurrence on or prior to
the Closing Date;

               (ii)  any liability for Taxes arising from the operation of the
Business arising on or prior to the Closing Date; and

               (iii) any obligation or liability arising out of or relating to
any employee grievance relating to periods on or prior to the Closing Date.

     2.4  Non-Assignable Contracts.

               (i)  Contracts Not Assigned. To the extent that any rights under
any Assigned Contracts may not be assigned without the prior consent of any
other Person and such consent has not been obtained on or prior to the Closing
Date, and if the failure to obtain such consent or such assignment would
constitute a material breach of or cause a loss of material benefits under such
Contract or result in the imposition of any material liability upon the Buyer or
the Business, then, unless and until such consent has been obtained, such
Contract shall be deemed not to have been assigned to Buyer and, subject to
Section 2.4(b), neither this Agreement nor any document executed in connection
herewith shall constitute an assignment of such Contract.

          (b)  Further Assurances Concerning Contracts. The Seller and the Buyer
shall use reasonable efforts in good faith to obtain all required third-party
consents and approvals necessary to assign to the Buyer, and for the Buyer to
assume all of the benefits and Liabilities under, the Assigned Contracts.

     2.5  Allocation of Purchase Price. For Tax purposes with respect to the
sale of the Purchased Assets, the Seller and the Buyer shall each report that
the Purchase Price and the value of the Assumed Liabilities in accordance with
the Schedule of Asset Allocation set forth on Schedule 2.5 attached hereto.

constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Seller enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms. Upon the execution of each of the other
agreements contemplated hereby at Closing, each of such other agreements to
which the Seller is a party will constitute the valid and legally binding
obligation of the Seller enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and the delivery of this Agreement,
nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (a) violate or
conflict with any statute, regulation, law, rule, ordinance or common law
doctrine to which the Seller is subject, the violation of which would result in
a Material Adverse Effect (but no representation is made hereby with respect to
the effect of any bulk sales laws or any Federal or State antitrust or similar
laws or regulations), (b) violate or conflict in any material respect with any
judgment, order, decree, stipulation, injunction, charge or other restriction of
any government, governmental agency or court to which the Seller is subject, in

conflicts, breaches, defaults or other events would not result in a Material
Adverse Effect or materially and adversely affect the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

obtained in connection with the assignment of the Assigned Contracts to the
Buyer and the other consents and approvals contemplated by this Agreement, no
authorization, consent or approval of, any government, governmental agency or
court, or any other Person is required to be made or obtained, in order for the
parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, except where
the failure to obtain any such consent or approval would not have a material
adverse effect upon the assets, business, financial condition or results of
operations of the Business.

other than accounts payable or other liabilities which are not material to the
Business incurred by the Seller in transactions entered into in the Ordinary

Liabilities set forth on the Latest Balance Sheet, (iv) imperfections of title
which are not material in character, amount or extent and which do not
materially detract from the value or materially interfere with the present use
of the assets affected thereby, and (v) Security Interests for current Taxes not
yet due and payable.

     3.9  Intellectual Property

          (a)  Part 3.9 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule contains a list and
brief description of the following: (i) registered and unregistered trademarks,
patents, patent applications, continuations or continuations in part and
registered copyrights that are owned by the Seller and used primarily in
connection with the conduct of the Business as conducted and (ii) each license
providing the Seller with the right to use the intellectual property of other
Persons used primarily in connection with the Business ("Licenses-In").

          (b)  Except as set forth in Part 3.9(b) of the Seller Disclosure
Schedule, none of the Intellectual Property is subject to any outstanding
judgment, order, decree, stipulation, injunction or charge. No charge,
complaint, action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, claim, or demand is

against any interference, infringement, misappropriation, or other conflict with
respect to the Intellectual Property.

          (c)  No breach or default by the Seller exists or has occurred under
any License-In and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement will not violate or conflict with or constitute a default (or an event
which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) or
result in a forfeiture under, or constitute a basis for termination of, any such
License-In.

          (d)  The Seller has the unrestricted right to use, and is transferring
to the Buyer, all the Intellectual Property, subject in each case to the
Licenses-In; and the Intellectual Property covers all patents, trademarks, trade
names, service marks and copyrights which are necessary to operate the Business

          (e)  None of the Intellectual Property, and no product or service
licensed or sold by the Business, infringes any trademark, trade name,
copyright, trade secret, patent, or other intellectual property or proprietary
right of any Person or would give rise to an obligation to render an accounting
to any Person as a result of co-authorship, co-invention or an express or
implied contract for any use or transfer. The Seller has not received notice of
any adversely held patent, invention, trademark, copyright, service mark, trade
name or trade secret of any other Person alleging or threatening to assert that

infringes upon or is in conflict with any intellectual property or proprietary
rights of any third party.

that are consistent with the measures and precautions taken by Seller to protect
its other similar Intellectual Property.

                                   ARTICLE 5

                          COVENANTS PRIOR TO CLOSING

     5.1  Conduct of Operations.  During the period from the date of this
Agreement through the Closing Date, the Seller shall operate the Business solely
in the Ordinary Course of Business and in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement, and all additions, substitutions and changes of form of the Purchased
Assets occurring from and after the date hereof shall be deemed to constitute
Purchased Assets hereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts from the date hereof through
the Closing Date, to (a) perform all of its material obligations under all
material agreements relating to or affecting the Business or the Purchased
Assets; (b) keep in full force and effect all permits, franchises and other
rights material to the Business; (c) maintain the books, accounts and records of
the Business in all material respects in accordance with past custom and
practice as used in connection with the preparation of the unaudited Carve-out
Financial Statements; and (d) maintain in full force and effect the existence of
all material Intellectual Property.

     5.2  Buyer Access to Seller's Records and Premises. From and after the date
hereof through the Closing Date, the Seller shall give to the Buyer and the
Buyer's counsel and accountants, all reasonable access during normal business
hours and upon reasonable notice to all documents, books, records, properties of
the Business, so that the Buyer may, at its sole expense, investigate and
inspect them, and the Seller will furnish to the Buyer copies of all such
documents and information concerning the Purchased Assets and the Business as
Buyer may reasonably request; provided, that Buyer shall have no access to the
Seller's employees, customers, suppliers or other third parties without Seller's
express prior consent, which shall not

                                      16.


<PAGE>

be unreasonably withheld. All information obtained or provided to the Buyer in
connection with its investigation of the Seller shall be held subject to Section
5.4.

     5.3  Seller Access to Buyer's Records and Premises.  From and after the
date hereof through the Closing Date, Seller shall have the right to discuss the
finances and accounts of the Buyer with its officers at reasonable times and as

     5.4  Buyer Confidentiality.  Prior to the Closing, the Buyer will treat and
hold as confidential all of the confidential information relating to the
Business disclosed to the Buyer in the course of the Buyer's investigation of
the Business (the "Seller Confidential Information"), and shall refrain from
using or disclosing any of the Seller Confidential Information, except (a) to
authorized representatives of the Seller expressly in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) to counsel or other advisers for such
purpose (provided such advisers agree to comply with the confidentiality
provisions of this Section 5.4), unless disclosure is required by law or order
of any governmental authority under color of law.  In the event that, prior to
the Closing the Buyer is requested or required (by written request for
information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil
investigative demand, or similar legal process) to disclose any Seller
Confidential Information, the Buyer will notify the Seller promptly of the
request or requirement so that the Seller may seek an appropriate protective
order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.4.  If, in the
absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Buyer
is, based on an opinion of counsel, compelled to disclose any Seller
Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, the
Buyer may disclose the Seller Confidential Information to the tribunal;
provided, however, that the Buyer shall, upon the request of the Seller, exert
--------  -------
all reasonable efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request of the Seller, an
order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such
portion of the Seller Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the
Seller shall reasonably designate.

     5.5  Seller Confidentiality.  Until the third anniversary of the Closing
(or, with respect to information relating to any Assigned Contract, until the
termination date of such contract, if later), the Seller will treat and hold as
confidential all of the confidential information relating to the Buyer disclosed
to the Seller in the course of the Seller's investigation of the Buyer and all
of the confidential information relating to the Purchased Assets previously
treated by Seller as confidential (the "Buyer Confidential Information"), and
shall refrain from using or disclosing any of the Buyer Confidential
Information, except (a) to authorized representatives of the Seller expressly in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) to counsel or other
advisers for such purpose (provided such advisers agree to comply with the
confidentiality provisions of this Section 5.5), unless disclosure is required
by law or order of any governmental authority under color of law.  In the event
that the Seller is requested or required (by written request for information or
documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative
demand, or similar legal process) to disclose any Buyer Confidential
Information, the Seller will notify the Buyer promptly of the request or
requirement so that the Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive
compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.5.  If, in the absence of a
protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Seller is, based on
an opinion of counsel, compelled to disclose any Buyer Confidential Information
to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, the Seller may disclose the
Buyer Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that the
                                                --------  -------
Seller shall, upon

                                      17.


<PAGE>

the request of the Buyer, exert all reasonable efforts to obtain, at the
reasonable request of the Buyer, an order or other assurance that confidential
treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Buyer Confidential Information
required to be disclosed as the Buyer shall reasonably designate.

     5.6  Cooperation.  Each party will use commercially reasonable efforts to
take all action and to do all things necessary, proper or advisable to
consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including satisfying the closing conditions set forth in Articles 6 and 7.

     5.7  HSR Approval.  As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, Buyer
and Seller shall file with the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust
Division of the United States Department of Justice the notifications and other
information required to be filed under the HSR Act, or any rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
Each party warrants that all such filings by it will be, as of the date filed,
true and accurate in all material respects and in material compliance with the
requirements of the HSR Act and any such rules and regulations.  Each of Buyer
and Seller agrees to make available to the other such information as each of
them may reasonably request relative to its business, assets and property as may
be required of each of them to file any additional information requested by such
agencies under the HSR Act and any such rules and regulations.  Seller and Buyer
will supply each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or
communication (or memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between either
of them or their respective representatives and the Federal Trade Commission,
the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice or any other
governmental agency of authority or members of their respective staffs with
respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Without
limiting the generality of Section 5.6, each party will use all commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver from the waiting period under the HSR Act,
will respond to any governmental inquiries under the HSR Act, and will make any
further filings pursuant to the HSR Act that may be necessary, proper, or
advisable.

     5.8  Notice of Developments.  Prior to Closing, the Seller will give prompt
written notice to the Buyer upon learning of any material development affecting
the Purchased Assets or the financial condition of the Business taken as a
whole.  If, after such notice, the Buyer fails to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 8.1(b), then such notice shall be deemed to have amended the
Seller Disclosure Schedule, to have qualified the representations and warranties
contained in Article 3, and to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of
warranty that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of such
development.

     5.9  Certain Employee and Employee Plan Matters.

          (a)  Offers of Employment.  The Buyer shall make offers of employment
               --------------------
on or prior to the Closing Date to the Business Employees on the list that Buyer
shall provide to Seller at least 10 days prior to the Closing Date. Any Business
Employee who accepts such an offer on or prior to the Closing Date
(collectively, the "Transferred Employees") shall be considered to be an
employee of the Buyer as of the Closing Date. The terms of employment offered to
Business Employees shall be based on the Buyer's existing employment practices
and policies and subject to applicable law, provided that it shall be a term of
such offer that each such Business Employee

                                      18.


<PAGE>

be entitled to receive (a) cash compensation (including bonus) which is no less
generous than that provided by the Seller to such employee immediately prior to
the Closing Date, (b) employee benefits consistent with the Buyer's plans,
programs and policies, and (c) severance benefits equivalent to, and subject to
the same terms and conditions as, those under the Seller's severance pay
policies in effect immediately prior to the Closing as set forth on the Seller
Disclosure Schedule (the "Severance Pay Policies"), which obligations with
respect to cash compensation (including bonus) and severance benefits shall
expire no sooner than one (1) year following the Closing Date.

          (b)  Remaining Employees; Reimbursement of Severance Payments.  The
               ---------------------------------------------------------
Buyer shall have no obligation to employ Business Employees other than the
Transferred Employees (Business Employees other than the Transferred Employees
being hereinafter referred to as the "Remaining Employees") following the
Closing Date. The eligibility of any Remaining Employee whose employment with
the Seller is terminated after the Closing Date to receive severance benefits
shall be determined under the terms of the Severance Pay Policies, if any, in
effect as of the date of such employee's termination. With respect to all
Transferred Employees who become entitled to severance benefits within one (1)
year following the Closing Date pursuant to subsection (a) above and all
Remaining Employees who become entitled to severance benefits on account of
termination of employment occurring on or after the Closing Date and on or
before the ninetieth (90/th/) day following the Closing Date, the Buyer and the
Seller shall share the costs of such benefits as follows: (i) the Buyer shall be
responsible for severance benefits in the amount of one (1) week's base salary
for each year of service with the Seller in the case of each Remaining Employee,
and, in the case of each Transferred Employee, one (1) week's base salary for
each year of such Transferred Employee's aggregate service with Seller and with
Buyer and (ii) the Seller and the Buyer shall each be responsible for 50% of the
cost of severance benefits payable in excess of the amount set forth in (i). For
purposes of the foregoing allocation of severance benefit costs, (i) "base
salary" shall have a meaning analogous to "Monthly Compensation," as defined in
the Baxter International Inc. and Subsidiaries Severance Pay Plan, but expressed
on an annual basis; and (ii) severance benefits which the Buyer and the Seller
are obligated to pay to Transferred Employees or Remaining Employees,
respectively, on account of the requirements of any state, local or foreign
country statute shall be considered as having been paid in accordance with the
Severance Pay Policies. The Seller shall make payment of the severance benefits
described above to the Remaining Employees eligible to receive such payments,
and the Buyer shall make payments of the severance benefits described above to
the Transferred Employees eligible to receive such payments. The Buyer or the
Seller, as applicable, shall make a reimbursement payment to the other in an
amount necessary to allocate the financial responsibility for such payment as
set forth above, on the one (1) year anniversary date of the Closing Date;
provided, however, that if the Buyer owes a reimbursement payment to the Seller
under this Section 5.9(b), the Buyer may set such reimbursement payment off
against the Distribution Payable and the Credit Amount pursuant to Section 9.4
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall pay the cost of any
increased amount of severance benefits attributable to the period of time
following the Closing Date during which a Remaining Employee remains in the
Seller's employ in order to comply with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act ("WARN").

          (c)  Buyer's Assumption of Employee Liability and Indemnity. The Buyer
               ------------------------------------------------------
shall assume responsibility for all accrued liabilities of the Seller relating
to accrued vacation pay

                                      19.


<PAGE>

and bonuses of Transferred Employees, including the responsibility to make
immediate cash payments for such accrued amounts at any time on or after the
Closing Date to the extent required under applicable law.

          (d)  Benefit Plans and Pension Plans.  Except to the extent otherwise
               -------------------------------
provided herein, the Buyer shall not assume any obligations arising under any
"employee benefit plan" (as such term is defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which
the Seller maintains relating to any Business Employee (collectively the
"Plans").  The active participation of the Transferred Employees in the Plans
shall terminate as of the Closing Date, in each case except to the extent that
any rights under the Plans shall have vested, or may vest upon fulfillment of
certain conditions, in accordance with the terms contained therein; provided,
however, that Transferred Employees shall be 100% vested in their account
balances under the Seller's Savings Plan and in their accrued benefits under the
Baxter International Inc. and Subsidiaries Pension Plan.

          (e)  Savings Plans. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the
               -------------
Seller shall take any action necessary to distribute to the Transferred
Employees their account balances (including loans) under the Seller's Savings
Plan, as permitted by Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Code.

          (f)  Buyer's Plans.  The Buyer shall provide for the participation,
               -------------
commencing on the Closing Date, by such of the Transferred Employees who
participated in the Plans prior to the Closing Date in the Buyer's employee
benefit plans, provided that for purposes of eligibility to participate and
vesting under the Buyer's plans (but not for purposes of benefit accruals), the
Buyer shall take any and all action necessary (including amendment of the
Buyer's plans) to recognize each Transferred Employee's service with the Seller.
The Buyer shall recognize each Transferred Employee's years of service with the
Seller for all purposes under the Buyer's sick and disability pay plan.  No
Transferred Employee's participation in any of the Buyer's employee benefit
plans shall be limited or restricted due to a preexisting condition limitation
in any such plan.

          (g)  Continuation Coverage.  The Seller shall retain liability for
               ---------------------
employees (and their qualified beneficiaries) receiving or eligible to receive
continuation coverage under Part 6 of Title 1 of ERISA and Section 4980B of the
Code as of the Closing Date under the Seller's group health plans.  All group
health plans established or maintained by the Buyer or its Affiliates on or
after the Closing Date and for the benefit of Transferred Employees shall comply
with all obligations under Part 6 of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the
Code applicable to those plans.

          (h)  WARN.  The Buyer shall comply with all notice and other
               -----
requirements under WARN and any similar state, local, or foreign country statute
with respect to all Transferred Employees and all other employees of the Buyer.
The Seller shall comply with all notice and any other requirements under WARN
and any similar state, local, or foreign country statute with respect to all
Remaining Employees and all other employees of the Seller. As soon as
administratively practicable following the date of this Agreement, Seller shall
provide WARN notice to all Business Employees and shall continue to employ all
Remaining Employees until the date that is at least 60 days following the date
of delivery of such notice to each such employee.

                                      20.


<PAGE>

          (i)   Conduct of the Seller Prior to Closing. From the date hereof to
                --------------------------------------
the Closing, the Seller shall not change the compensation or benefits provided
to any Business Employee other than in the Ordinary Course of Business. The
Seller shall promptly provide written notice to the Buyer of any change to the
compensation or benefits provided to any Business Employee regardless of whether
such change was made in the Ordinary Course of Business.

          (j)   Canadian Transferred Employees. Notwithstanding any other
                ------------------------------
provision herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 5.9(j) shall
apply in the case of all Transferred Employees who are persons employed in the
Business in Canada (the "Canadian Transferred Employees"). To the extent
required under applicable law, the Seller shall offer continued employment as of
and following the Closing Date to all Canadian Transferred Employees on
substantially the same terms and conditions of employment as in effect with
respect to such employees immediately prior to the Closing Date and shall credit
each such employee with such employee's prior service with the Seller for all
applicable purposes, including a later occurring termination of employment.
Subject to Section 5.9(b), the Buyer shall indemnify and save harmless the
Seller from any and all claims, liabilities and losses together with all
penalties, interest and reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to,
directly or indirectly, any matters pertaining to any Canadian Transferred
Employee for periods on and after the Closing Date.

     5.10  Service and Installation. The Buyer shall perform its service and
installation obligations under the Service and Installation Agreement attached
as Exhibit G hereto (the "Service and Installation Agreement"). If any equipment
is returned to the Seller due to the Buyer's failure to perform under the
Service and Installation Agreement, the Buyer agrees to purchase such equipment
from Seller at inventory book value, with a reduction for any damage or wear and
tear.

     5.11  No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is between the parties
hereto only, and nothing herein shall establish any enforceable rights, legal or
equitable, in any person other than the Buyer and the Seller, including any
employee of the Business. Any claim, including claims for benefits asserted by
any Person with respect to his or her employment with the Buyer after the date
hereof, shall be governed solely by applicable employment policies and such
benefit plans which the Buyer shall maintain for its employees, construed under
applicable law.

     5.12  No Negotiation. The Seller shall ensure that prior to the Closing,
neither the Seller nor any of the Seller's representatives, directors, officers
or managers directly or indirectly (a) solicits or encourages the initiation of
any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Buyer) relating to
the Business or the Purchased Assets; (b) participates in any discussions or
negotiations or provides any non-public information to, any Person (other than
the buyer) relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets; or (c) considers
the merits of any unsolicited inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other
than the Buyer) relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets.

     5.13  Use of Seller's Trademarks. Buyer agrees that neither it not any of
its Affiliates shall use any trademark, service mark or trade name of Seller or
any of its Affiliates. Buyer

                                      21.


<PAGE>

shall, promptly after the Closing Date, make such alterations to the Purchased
Assets as may be necessary to, at the Buyer's option, either (i) remove, or (ii)
permanently conceal, any markings (including, without limitation, trademarks,
service marks and trade names) which reference or suggest any association of the
Purchased Assets with Seller. Notwithstanding the inclusion of the packaging
materials in the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall be solely responsible for
labeling in accordance with all requirements of law, all products sold by it
following the Closing Date, and it will indicate on such packaging that it is
the manufacturer of such products.

     5.14  Collection of Accounts Receivable.

           (a)  Seller shall be entitled to control all collection actions
related to the accounts receivable retained by Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(a)
or (c), including the determination of what actions are necessary or appropriate
and when and how to take any such action. In furtherance thereof, Seller may, in
its discretion, bring any action to recover the equipment or other products that
are the subject of any such account receivable that may be overdue. In such
event, Seller shall be entitled to retain any such recovered equipment or other
products in full or partial satisfaction of the indebtedness to Seller
represented by such account receivable, and Buyer agrees to deliver to Seller,
upon request, Buyer's acknowledgement of Seller's right to retain such equipment
and other products or an assignment to Seller of any rights or claims that Buyer
may have in or to such equipment or products. In addition, upon request of
Seller, Buyer shall purchase any recovered equipment or other products from
Seller, on an "as is, where is" basis, at the lower of (i) cost less five year
straight line depreciation or (ii) fair market value. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 5.14(a) Seller and Buyer shall cooperate to
collect such accounts receivable and avoid the recovery of equipment or products
in satisfaction of receivables and subsequent required purchase of such
recovered equipment by Buyer.

           (b)  If, after the Closing Date, Buyer shall receive any remittance
from any account debtors with respect to the accounts receivable of Seller,
including any accounts receivable included in the Excluded Assets, Buyer shall
endorse such remittance to the order of Seller and forward it to Seller
immediately upon receipt thereof. In connection with payments received by Buyer,
if a payment is received from an account debtor who has not designated the
invoice being paid thereby, such payment shall be applied to the earliest
invoice outstanding with respect to indebtedness of such account debtor owing to
either Buyer or Seller.

     5.15  Purchase of Leased Equipment. In the event that the current term of
any Excluded Lease retained by Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(c) shall expire
without default by the lessee thereunder, Buyer shall upon request of Seller,
purchase from Seller all equipment and other products that were the subject of
such Excluded Lease. Such purchase shall be on an "as is, where is" basis,
without warranties other than as to defects in title arising through Seller, and
shall be for a purchase price of $1.00. Upon any such purchase, Seller shall
delivery to Buyer any and all instruments and other documents as Buyer may
reasonably request to evidence the transfer of such equipment and other products
from Seller to Buyer.

                                      22.

with respect to "materiality"), except as would not have a Material Adverse
Effect and except for changes therein specifically permitted or contemplated by
this Agreement or expressly consented to in writing by the Seller; (ii) all of

     9.4  Termination of Distribution Agreement; Credit Against Reimburseable
Expenses. Seller and Buyer hereby agree that the Distribution Agreement, dated
as of the 13/th/ day of August, 1996 between Seller and Buyer (the "Distribution
Agreement") shall automatically terminate as of the Closing notwithstanding any
terms to the contrary set forth in such Distribution Agreement. The parties
agree that $606,968 is due under the Distribution Agreement as of the date
hereof and that the sum of such amount and any amounts due from Seller to Buyer
pursuant to the Distribution Agreement which are incurred between the date
hereof and the Closing, (such sum the "Distribution Payable") shall not be due
and payable until the first anniversary of the Closing Date notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Distribution Agreement. In addition, in
consideration for $100,000 of the Purchase Price, Buyer shall also be entitled
to a credit in the amount of $100,000 (the "Credit Amount") against its
obligation to make a reimbursement payment under Section 5.9(b). To the extent
that on the first anniversary of the Closing Date the sum of the Distribution
Payable and the Credit Amount exceeds any amounts Buyer owes to Seller under
Section 5.9, Buyer may at its option set off any such excess amount (the "Setoff
Amount") against the Purchase Note (as hereinafter described) or require Seller
to pay in cash, such excess amount. Buyer shall provide notice to Seller, on the
first anniversary of the Closing Date, of its election to setoff the Setoff
Amount against the "Obligations" (as defined in the Loan Agreement) owed to
Seller. The Setoff Amount shall be applied against the amount due on the first
"Interest Payment Date" (as defined in the Loan Agreement) to occur after the
first anniversary of the Closing Date. In the event the Setoff Amount exceeds
the amount due on such Interest Payment Date, Buyer shall apply and Seller shall
accept such excess against each Interest Payment thereafter until the Setoff
Amount is reduced to $0. The Seller and Buyer hereby agree to amend such Loan
Agreement to allow for the setoff contemplated above in the event Buyer makes
such an election. Except as set forth herein, Seller and Buyer each release the
other from any and all liabilities and obligations under or arising from the
Distribution Agreement.

                                      28.

                    POST-CLOSING OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

     10.1   Further Obligations of the Parties.  On and after the Closing Date:

            (a)  Each party shall execute all certificates, instruments and
other documents and take all actions reasonably requested by the other party to
effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and to consummate and evidence the
consummation of the transactions herein provided for including, without
limitation, such documents as may be required to effectuate the assignment and
transfer of the Intangible Assets, including the Intellectual Property. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller and the Buyer, agree to
cooperate with each other and to provide each other with all information and
documentation reasonably necessary to permit the preparation and filing of all
United States Federal, state, local, and other Tax returns and Tax elections
with respect to the Business.

            (b)  The Seller shall take all action reasonably necessary or
appropriate to put the Buyer in immediate actual possession and operating
control of all of the Purchased Assets.

            (c)  The Buyer and the Seller each agree to deliver to the other
party (or to such governmental or taxing authority as the other party reasonably
directs) any form of document that may be required or reasonably requested in
order to obtain an exemption with respect to any Federal, state municipal or
other, sales, use or other transfer Taxes that may otherwise be required to be
paid on the transfer of the Purchased Assets or that may otherwise be due with
respect to such transfer, promptly upon the earlier of (i) reasonable demand by
the other party or (ii) learning that such form or document is required.

            (d)  The Buyer shall preserve and keep the records of the Business
existing on the Closing Date for a period of ten (10) years from the Closing
Date, or for any longer period as may be required by any government agency or
ongoing litigation, and shall make such records available to the Seller as may
be reasonably required by the Seller in connection with any legal proceedings
against or governmental investigations of the Seller with respect to the
Business. The Buyer shall notify the Seller sixty days prior to destroying such
records and shall afford the Seller the opportunity to have such records sent to
the Seller at Seller's sole expense.

            (e)  The Buyer shall perform its obligations under the Services and
Installation Agreement.

     10.2   Taxes. The Buyer will assist the Seller with the preparation of the
portion of the Seller's 1998 and 1999 consolidated federal income tax returns
and state or local income tax returns relating to the operations of the Business
during the period beginning on January 1, 1998 and ending on the Closing Date in
a timely manner consistent with prior practices. The Buyer shall be responsible
for filing all federal, state and local income Tax returns and other state and
local Tax returns for the Business which are due (after taking into account any
applicable extensions of time to file) after the Closing Date for periods
beginning on or after the Closing Date and for making required payments due with
such returns. Without limiting the generality of Section 10.1(a), the Seller and
the Buyer agree to cooperate with each other in connection with

                                      29.


<PAGE>

any official Tax inquiry, Tax examination or Tax-related legal proceeding with
respect to the Business.

     10.3  Sales Taxes. The Seller shall bear and pay, and if assessed against
or paid by the Buyer, shall (after receipt of appropriate documentation from the
Buyer) reimburse the Buyer for sales taxes, use taxes, transfer taxes,
documentary changes, recording fees or similar taxes, charges or fees that may
properly become payable in connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets to
the Buyer. Buyer shall provide Seller with a reasonable opportunity to review
all tax returns relating to such taxes prior to filing such returns.

     10.4  Delivery of 1998 Audited Financials. On or before March 15, 1999 the
Seller shall deliver to Buyer financial statements relating to the Business for
the year ended December 31, 1998 meeting the requirements of Rules 3-01 and 3-02
of Regulation S-X which have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the
Seller's independent auditors.

     10.5  Seller Covenant Not to Compete. Seller agrees that for a period of
three years after the Closing Date, neither it nor any of its Affiliates will,
directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in
the ownership, management, operation or control of, any business whether in
corporate, proprietorship or partnership form or other wise as more than a five
percent owner in such business where such business is engaged in the manufacture
or sale of storage and dispensing cabinets for medication that include hardware
and software designed to track the dispensing of medications ("Competitive
Products") provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Seller or
any of such Affiliates from acquiring an interest in an entity or business which
manufactures or sells Competitive Products so long as Seller or any such
Affiliate divests itself of the assets of such acquired entity or business which
manufactures or sells Competitive Products within twelve months of such
acquisition; and provided further that nothing in this Section 10.5 shall
prevent the Seller from acquiring a passive investment of less than 5% of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of such an entity or business so long as
Seller does not have rights to hold a seat on the Board of Directors or
otherwise have rights to exercise control over such an entity. The parties
hereto specifically acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any breach
of the foregoing will be inadequate and that Buyer, in addition to any other
relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive
relief without the necessity of proving actual damage. In the event that the
provisions of this Section 10.5 should ever be deemed to exceed the limitation
provided by applicable law, then the parties hereto agree that such provisions
shall be reformed to set forth the maximum limitations permitted.

                                  ARTICLE 11

                  SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES AND INDEMNIFICATION

     11.1   Survival.

            (a)  Subject to Section 11.1(b), all of the representations and
warranties of each party made in this Agreement shall survive (i) the Closing

disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets by the Buyer, provided,

<PAGE>

other disposition of all or substantially all of the Purchased Assets by the
Buyer unless the Purchase Note shall have been paid in full; and (iii) the
dissolution of any party to this Agreement. The representations, warranties,
covenants and obligations of the Seller and the rights and remedies that may be
exercised by the Buyer, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a
result of any information furnished to, or any investigation made by or any
knowledge of, the Buyer or any of its Representatives to the extent that such
knowledge was shared with the Seller.

           (b)  The representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 and
Article 4 shall expire on the second anniversary of the Closing; provided,
however, that if a Claim Notice relating to any such representation, warranty or
rights set forth in Article 3 or Article 4 is given to the party from which
indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") on or prior to the date
such representation or warranty would otherwise expire, then, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.1(b), the indemnification
obligations of the Indemnifying Party arising pursuant to such representation,
warranty or rights shall not so expire with respect to matters relating to the
subject matter described in such Claim Notice, but rather shall remain in full
force and effect until such time as the liability of the Indemnifying Party with
respect to matters relating to the subject matter described in such Claim Notice
has been fully and finally resolved, either by means of a written settlement
agreement executed on behalf of the Indemnifying Party and the party seeking
indemnification, or by means of a final, non-appealable judgment issued by a
court of competent jurisdiction.

           (c)  For purposes of this Agreement, a "Claim Notice" relating to a
particular representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been given if the
party seeking indemnification, acting in good faith, delivers to the
Indemnifying Party a written notice stating that the party seeking
indemnification believes that there is or has been a breach of such
representation or warranty and containing a brief description of the
circumstances supporting the such party's belief that there is or has been such
a breach.

     11.2  Indemnification by the Seller. Subject to Section 11.3, the Seller
shall indemnify and hold the Buyer harmless from and against the entirety of any
Adverse Consequences the Buyer may suffer, sustain or become subject to ("Buyer
Indemnifiable Losses"), resulting from, arising out of or, relating to (i) any
breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of the Seller set
forth in this Agreement other than the representation and warranties contained
in Section 3.11; (ii) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement
on the part of the Seller in this Agreement; (iii) any Liability relating to the
Business on or prior to the Closing Date that is not an Assumed Liability; (iv)
any claim made by any person who was an employee of Seller prior to Closing
which arose out of facts or circumstances occurring or existing prior to
Closing; and (v) any liability imposed under WARN with respect to Remaining
Employees.

     11.3  Limits on the Seller's Indemnification Obligation. The obligation of
the Seller to indemnify the Buyer under Sections 11.2(i) and (ii) above shall be
subject to the following limitations:

                                      31.


<PAGE>

           (a) The aggregate liability of the Seller hereunder with respect to
all Buyer Indemnifiable Losses under Sections 11.2(i) and (ii), other than in
connection with its obligations under Sections 5.9 and 9.4, shall not exceed
$7,000,000

           (b) The Seller will not have any obligation to indemnify the Buyer
with respect to any Buyer Indemnifiable Losses under Sections 11.2(i) and (ii)
other than in connection with its obligations under Sections 5.9 and 9.4 until
the Buyer shall first have suffered such aggregate Buyer Indemnifiable Losses in
excess of $300,000 (at which point the Seller will be obligated to indemnify the
Buyer only for Buyer Indemnifiable Losses exceeding such amount).

           (c) Buyer Indemnifiable Losses shall be calculated net of any
reserves set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet.

     11.4  Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify and hold the Seller
harmless from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Seller
may suffer, sustain or become subject to ("Seller Indemnifiable Losses"),
resulting from, arising out of or relating to (i) the Assumed Liabilities and
any Liability relating to the Business after the Closing Date, (ii) any breach
or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of the Buyer set forth in
this Agreement; (iii) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement
on the part of Buyer in this Agreement; and (iv) any liability imposed under
WARN with respect to Transferred Employees.

     11.5  Limits on Buyer's Indemnification Obligations. The obligation of
Buyer to indemnify the Seller under Sections 11.4(ii) and (iii) above shall be
subject to the following limitations:

           (a) The aggregate liability of the Buyer hereunder with respect to
all Seller Indemnifiable Losses under Sections 11.4(ii) and (iii), other than in
connection with its obligations under Section 5.9 shall not exceed $7,000,000.

           (b) The Buyer will not have any obligation to indemnify the Seller
with respect to any Seller Indemnifiable Losses under Sections 11.4(ii) and

excess of $300,000 (at which point the Buyer will be obligated to indemnify the
Seller only for Seller Indemnifiable Losses exceeding such amount).

     11.6  Matters Involving Third Parties.

           (a) If any third party shall notify any party to this Agreement (the
"Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter (a "Third Party Claim") which
may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other party to this
Agreement under this Article 11, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly
notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; and the failure to give such
timely notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification
obligations under this Article 11 only to the extent such delay or failure
materially and adversely affects the defense of such claim.

                                      32.


<PAGE>

           (b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right, upon notification to
the Indemnified Party at any time within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified
Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim, to assume the defense of the
Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-
counsel at its own cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third
Party Claim, provided further, that if the Indemnified Party reasonably
determines that (i) a conflict of interest between it and the Indemnifying Party
will exist with respect to the Third Party Claim, or (ii) that the Third Party
Claim will adversely affect it other than as a result of monetary damages for
which it would be entitled to indemnification, it may, by notice to the
Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend such Third Party Claim.
If the Indemnifying Party does not give such notice within 15 days, the
Indemnified Party may proceed with the defense of such claim or proceeding on
its own. If the Indemnified Party proceeds with the defense of such claim or
proceeding on its own, the Indemnifying Party shall make available to the
Indemnified Party any documents and materials in its control or possession that

enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the

Indemnifying Party has indemnified it pursuant to this Article 11 such
Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount
so recovered (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred
by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any
amount previously so paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the
Indemnified Party in respect of such matter and (ii) any amount expended by the
Indemnifying Party in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such
matter.

injunctive and provisional relief, if the Closing occurs, this Article 11 shall
be the exclusive remedy for breaches of this Agreement (including any covenant,

              (C) Inventory;

              (D) Equipment;

              (E) all chattel paper, instruments, notes, documents, documents

              (F) all moneys, investment property, securities and other
property of any kind of OmniCell in the possession or under the control of
Baxter, any assignee of or participant in the Obligations, or a bailee of any
such party or such party's affiliates;

              (G) all books, records, computer records, ledger cards,
programs and other computer materials, customer and supplier lists, invoices,
orders and other property evidencing or relating to any of the foregoing
items ("RECORDS");

              (H) all accessions to any of the foregoing items and all

thereto; and

              (I) all products and proceeds of the foregoing.

         All of the foregoing is referred to herein individually and
collectively as the "COLLATERAL." It is the intent of the parties that the
Collateral shall include all of the property of OmniCell, real, personal or
intangible, whether now existing or hereafter acquired or arising, whether
specifically enumerated herein or not, and that the broadest possible
interpretation should be given to the term Collateral, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that in no event shall the
Collateral include any OmniCell Intellectual Property Rights.

              (II) For the purpose of enabling Baxter to exercise rights and
remedies under the Loan Documents (including, without limiting the terms and
conditions set forth herein, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve,
process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale,

entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, OmniCell shall enter into on
the date hereof a license agreement, substantially in the form of EXHIBIT F;

Intellectual Property Rights wherever the same may be located, and including
in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be
recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the
compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that each customer for
the Inventory is made subject to a written agreement that is consistent with
and no less protective of the OmniCell Intellectual Property Rights than the
terms of OmniCell's standard forms of Master Purchase Agreement and Master
Rental Agreement.

         3.2 PRIORITY OF LIENS. OmniCell hereby covenants and agrees that the
Liens granted pursuant to SECTION 3.1 are and shall hereafter at all times be

perfected, first priority liens and security interests, subject only to
Permitted Liens set forth on SCHEDULE 3.2, if any, and (b) with respect to
those items of Collateral that do not consist of SureMed Assets, perfected
liens and security interests, subject only to (i) Permitted Senior Liens, if
any, with respect to which Baxter agrees that its Liens against non-SureMed
Assets shall be second in priority, and (ii) Permitted Liens, if any. Baxter
hereby acknowledges that OmniCell may grant Permitted Senior Liens against

              (A) Baxter (by any of its officers, accountants, employees
and/or agents) shall have the right, at any time or times during OmniCell's
usual business hours, after not less than two Business Days prior notice
during normal business hours (unless a Default or Event of Default then
exists, in which event no notice shall be required) to inspect the Collateral
(and the premises upon which it is located) and all related Records and to
verify the amount and condition of or any other matter relating to the
Collateral.

              (B) In addition to the right to inspect set forth herein,
Baxter (by any of its officers, accountants, employees and/or agents) shall
have the right to audit the books and Records of OmniCell. All reasonable
costs, fees and expenses incurred by Baxter, or for which Baxter becomes
obligated, in connection with such inspection, verification or audit shall
constitute part of the Obligations, payable by OmniCell to Baxter within five
(5) Business Days after demand therefor; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that unless an
Event of Default is outstanding, OmniCell's annual responsibility for such
costs, fees and expenses shall be limited to the cost of no more than

no more than two (2) auditors sent by Baxter on an inspection, verification
and audit.

perform all the acts requested by Baxter which are necessary or desirable to
maintain a valid, perfected security interest in the Collateral, including
but not limited to, executing and/or delivering to Baxter, at any time and

Baxter may request, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Baxter, to
perfect and

                                     11.
<PAGE>

transactions contemplated in or by this Agreement and/or the Other
Agreements. OmniCell agrees that Baxter, to the extent permitted by then
prevailing applicable law, may execute, on behalf and in the name of
OmniCell, any supplemental documentation covering all or any of the
Collateral and file the same in each and every appropriate jurisdiction. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, Baxter may file, without OmniCell's
signature, one or more financing statements disclosing Baxter's Liens,
including, limitation, by electronic means with or without a signature as
permitted or required by applicable law or filing procedures. OmniCell agrees
that a carbon, photographic, photostatic, or other reproduction of this
Agreement or of a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement.

         3.5 PERFECTED SECURITY INTEREST; LOCATION OF COLLATERAL. OmniCell
hereby warrants and represents to and covenants with Baxter that: (a)
Baxter's security interest in the Collateral is now and at all times
hereafter shall be perfected and, except as set forth in SECTION 3.2, shall
have a first priority; (b) the offices and/or locations where OmniCell keeps
the Collateral and the Records are at the locations specified on SCHEDULE
3.5. OmniCell has no other offices or locations and OmniCell shall not remove
such Records and/or the Collateral therefrom and shall not keep any such
Records and/or the Collateral at any other office or location unless OmniCell
gives Baxter notice thereof at least thirty (30) days prior thereto and the
same is within the continental United States of America. OmniCell, by written
notice delivered to Baxter at least thirty (30) days prior thereto, shall
advise Baxter of OmniCell's opening or acquisition of any new office, place
of business or place where any of the Collateral is to be stored or kept, or
its closing of any then existing office, place of business or place where any
of the Collateral is to be stored or kept and any new office or place of
business shall be within the continental United States of America.

         3.6 PAYMENT OF CLAIMS. Baxter, in its sole and absolute discretion,
without waiving or releasing any of the Obligations or any Event of Default,
may at any time or times hereafter, but shall be under no obligation to, pay,
acquire and/or accept an assignment of any security interest, lien,
encumbrance or claim asserted by any Person against the Collateral. All sums
paid by Baxter in respect thereof and all reasonable costs, fees and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, expenses and
other charges relating thereto incurred by Baxter or for which Baxter becomes
obligated on account thereof shall be part of the Obligations payable by
OmniCell to Baxter on demand.

and shall deliver renewals of all such policies to Baxter at least thirty

and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact for the purpose of making, settling and
adjusting claims under such policies, endorsing the name of OmniCell in
writing or by stamp on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment
for the proceeds of

sale or reporting of sale of the Collateral, and, to the extent permitted by
law, any right of redemption from such sale.

         7.7 WAIVER OF BOND. In the event Baxter seeks possession of the
Collateral through replevin or other court process, OmniCell hereby
irrevocably waives (a) any bond, surety or security required as an incident

         9.8 WAIVER.

         (A) OmniCell, for itself and for its successors, transferees and
assigns hereby irrevocably (i) waives diligence, presentment and demand for
payment, protest, notice, notice of protest and nonpayment, dishonor and
notice of dishonor and all other demands or notices of any and every kind
whatsoever; (ii) agrees that this Agreement and the Note and any or all
payments coming due hereunder or under any of the Other Agreements may be
extended from time to time

                                     26.
<PAGE>

in the sole discretion of Baxter without in any way affecting or diminishing
OmniCell's liability hereunder; and (iii) waives any rights, remedies or
defenses arising at law or in equity relating to guarantees or suretyships.

         (B) No extension of the time for any payment due hereunder or under
any of the Other Agreements made by agreement with any Person now or
hereafter liable for payment hereunder or under the Note or any of the Other
Agreements shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the
original liability under this Loan or the Note or any Other Agreement, either
in whole or in part.

         (C) No delay in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder by
Baxter shall be deemed to be a waiver of such right or remedy, nor shall the
exercise of any right or remedy hereunder by Baxter be deemed an election of
remedies or a waiver of any other right or remedy. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the failure of Baxter promptly after the
occurrence of any default hereunder to exercise its right to declare the
indebtedness remaining unmatured hereunder to be immediately due and payable
shall not constitute a waiver of such right while such default continues nor
a waiver of such right in connection with any future default.

         (D) No waiver or limitation of any right or remedy hereunder by
Baxter shall be effective unless (and any such waiver or limitation shall be
effective only to the extent) expressly set forth in a writing, signed and
delivered by Baxter to OmniCell. No notice to or demand on OmniCell in any
case shall entitle OmniCell to any other notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances, nor shall such notice or demand constitute a waiver of any
rights or remedy of Baxter to any other or further actions. In its sole
discretion, Baxter may, at any time and from time to time, waive any one or
more of the rights or remedies contained herein, but such waiver in any
instance or under any particular circumstance shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of such rights or remedies in any other instance or under any other
circumstance.

         9.9 INDEMNIFICATION. OmniCell shall indemnify, defend, and hold
Baxter harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, liabilities,
damages, and expenses (including legal and other expenses incident thereto)
of every kind, nature and description, other than those caused by Baxter's
gross negligence or willful misconduct, that result from or arise out of (a)
the breach of any representation or warranty of OmniCell set forth in this
Agreement or in any certificate, schedule, or other instrument by OmniCell
pursuant hereto, (b) the breach of any of the covenants of OmniCell contained
in or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby,

                        LEGAL OPINION OF SELLER'S COUNSEL
                      [Opinion of Seller's General Counsel]

OmniCell Technologies Inc.
1101 East Meadow Drive
Palo Alto, California 94303

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  I refer to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of December
18, 1998 (the "Agreement") between OmniCell Technologies Inc., a California
corporation ("Buyer"), and Baxter Healthcare Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Seller"). I have acted as general counsel to Seller in connection with the
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

                  Pursuant to the requirement of Section 6.5 of the Agreement,
this will advise you that in the opinion of the undersigned:

                  1. Seller is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, is in good
standing and qualified to do business under the laws of the State of Illinois
and has full corporate power and authority to own or lease, as the case may be,
and to operate and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as
now conducted.

                  2. Seller has full corporate power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreement and the Service and
Installation Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement delivered on this
date by Seller to you pursuant to the Agreement (the "Ancillary Documents"). The
execution, delivery and performance by Seller of the Agreement have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of Seller, its stockholders and
its Board of Directors. The Agreement and the Ancillary Documents have been duly
executed and delivered by Seller.

                  3. Except as disclosed in the Agreement, the execution and
delivery of the Agreement and the Ancillary Documents by Seller do not, and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby by Seller will not, (a)
require the consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration, filing or
registration with, any governmental or regulatory authority or any third party,
except where the failure to obtain any such consent or approval would not have a
material adverse effect, (b) to my knowledge, result in the breach of any term
or provision of, or constitute a default under, or result in the acceleration of
or entitle any party to accelerate (whether after the giving of notice or the
lapse of time or both) any obligation under, or result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, charge, pledge, security interest or other encumbrance
upon any part of the property of Seller pursuant to any provision of any order,
judgment, arbitration award, injunction, or decree or material indenture,
mortgage, lease, license, lien, or other material agreement or instrument to
which Seller is a party or by which it is bound, or (c) violate or conflict with
any provision of the by-laws or certificate of incorporation of Seller as
amended to the date of the Agreement.


                                       1.
<PAGE>

                  4. Except as set forth in the Seller Disclosure Schedule and
except for any consents which may need to be obtained in connection with the
assignment of the Assigned Contracts to Buyer and other consents and approvals
contemplated by the Agreement (including obtaining clearance under the
Harts-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and the rules promulgated
thereunder), no authorization, consent or approval of any government,
governmental agency or court or any other Person is required to be made or
obtained in order for the parties to the Agreement to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby, except where the failure to obtain any such
consent or approval would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  5. Except as set forth in the Seller Disclosure Schedule, to
the best of my knowledge, (i) there is no action, proceeding or investigation
pending before any court or administrative agency and there is no action,
proceeding or investigation overtly threatened by any Person which challenges
the execution and delivery of the Agreement or the Ancillary Documents or the
performance of any of the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) Seller is
not, in connection with the Business, (a) subject to any unsatisfied judgment,
order, decree, stipulation, injunction, or charge or (b) a party or threatened
to be made a party to, any charge, complaint, action, suit, proceeding, hearing
or investigation.

                  For the purposes of this opinion letter, I have examined
originals, or copies of originals certified to my satisfaction, of such
agreements, documents, certificates and other statements of governmental
officials and other instruments, have examined such questions of law and have
satisfied myself as to such matters of fact as I have deemed relevant and
necessary as a basis for this opinion letter. I have assumed the authenticity of
all documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures
(other than persons signing on behalf of Seller), the legal capacity of all
natural persons and the conformity with the original documents of any copies
thereof submitted to me for my examination. I have assumed that the Agreement
and the Ancillary Documents are the legal, valid and binding obligations of each
party thereto (other than Seller), enforceable against such party in accordance
with their respective terms.

                  Except as expressly stated in this letter, I have not
conducted any investigation or performed any other examination or review with
respect to any such opinion or statement. Furthermore, I assume no obligation to
update or supplement this letter to reflect any facts or circumstances which may
hereafter come to my attention with respect to the opinions and statements
expressed above, including any changes in applicable law which may hereafter
occur.

                  This opinion letter is limited to the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware, the federal laws of the United States of America and
the laws of the State of Illinois.

                  This opinion letter is being delivered solely for the benefit
of the persons to whom it is addressed; accordingly, it may not be quoted, filed
with any governmental authority or other regulatory agency or otherwise
circulated or utilized for any other purpose without my prior written consent.

OmniCell Technologies Inc.
1101 East Meadow Drive
Palo Alto, California 94303

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  We refer to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of December
18, 1998 (the "Agreement") between OmniCell Technologies Inc., a California
corporation ("Buyer"), and Baxter Healthcare Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Seller"). We have acted as special counsel to Seller in connection with the
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

                  Pursuant to the requirement of Section 6.5 of the Agreement,
this will advise you that in the opinion of the undersigned:

                  1. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by
Buyer of the Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which Buyer is a party,
the Agreement and the Ancillary Documents constitute the legal, valid and
binding agreements of Seller enforceable against Seller in accordance with their
terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by the effect of
general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforcement is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law. We express no opinion on the enforceability of
Section 10.5 of the Agreement.

                  For the purposes of this opinion letter, we have relied, as to
various questions of fact material to the foregoing, upon the representations
made by Seller in the Agreement and upon certificates of officers of Seller. We
also have examined originals, or copies of originals certified to our
satisfaction, of such agreements, documents, certificates and other statements
of governmental officials and other instruments, have examined such questions of
law and have satisfied ourselves as to such matters of fact as we deemed
relevant and necessary as a basis for this opinion letter. We have assumed the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of
all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons and the conformity
with the original documents of any copies thereof submitted to us for our
examination. We have relied exclusively, with your consent, upon the opinion
letter of Thomas Sabatino, General Counsel of Seller, subject to the
assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations therein expressed,
delivered pursuant to Section 6.5 of the Purchase Agreement insofar as the
subject matter of such opinion letter bears upon the opinion expressed herein.

                  Any opinion or statement herein which is expressed to be "to
our knowledge" or is otherwise qualified by words of like import means that the
attorneys currently practicing law with this Firm who have had an active
involvement in negotiating the Agreement and the Ancillary Documents have no
current conscious awareness of any facts or information contrary to such opinion
or statement. Except as expressly stated in this letter, we have not conducted
any

investigation or performed any other examination or review with respect to any
such opinion or statement.

                  We assume no obligation to update or supplement this letter to
reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention
with respect to the opinions and statements expressed above, including any
changes in applicable law which may hereafter occur.

                  This opinion letter is limited to the General Corporation Law

                        LEGAL OPINION OF BUYER'S COUNSEL

                        [Cooley Godward LLP Letterhead]


January ___, 1999

Baxter Healthcare Corporation
One Baxter Parkway
Deerfield, IL 60015

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for OmniCell Technologies, Inc., a California
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the purchase by the Company of
substantially all of the assets relating to the SureMed System of Baxter
Healthcare Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Baxter"), pursuant to an Asset
Purchase Agreement dated as of December 18, 1998 (the "Agreement") among Baxter
and the Company. We are rendering this opinion pursuant to Section 7.7 of the
Agreement. Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used but not
defined herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Agreement.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the
representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in and made
pursuant to the Agreement by the various parties, the Assumption Agreement, the
Transition Services Agreement, the Service and Installation Agreement, the Loan
Agreement and the Purchase Note (collectively, the "Ancillary Documents"), and
originals or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such records, documents,
certificates, opinions, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are
necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.
Where we render an opinion "to the best of our knowledge" or concerning an item
"known to us" or our opinion otherwise refers to our knowledge, it is based
solely upon (i) an inquiry of attorneys within this firm who perform legal
services for the Company, (ii) receipt of a certificate executed by an officer
of the Company covering such matters, and (iii) such other investigation, if
any, that we specifically set forth herein.

In rendering this opinion, we have assumed: the genuineness and authenticity of
all signatures on original documents; the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals; the conformity to originals of all documents
submitted to us as copies; the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of
certificates of public officials; and the due authorization, execution and
delivery of all documents (except the due authorization, execution and delivery
by the Company of the Agreement and the Ancillary Documents), where
authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness of
such documents. We have also assumed: that all individuals executing and
delivering documents had the legal capacity to so execute and deliver; that you
have received all documents you were to receive under the Agreement; that the
Agreement is an obligation binding upon you; and that there are no extrinsic
agreements or understandings among the parties to the Agreement that would
modify or interpret the terms of the Agreement or the respective rights or
obligations of the parties thereunder.


                                       1.
<PAGE>

Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the federal laws of the United
States of America and the laws of the State of California. We note that the
parties to the Agreement have designated the laws of the State of Illinois as
the laws governing the Agreement. Our opinion in paragraph 3 below as to the
validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Agreement is premised upon
the result that would obtain if a California court were to apply the internal
laws of the State of California (notwithstanding the designation of the laws of
the State of Illinois) to the interpretation and enforcement of the Agreement.
We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction
apply, and no opinion to the extent that the laws of any jurisdiction other than
those identified above are applicable to the subject matter hereof. With respect
to our opinion in paragraph 3, we advise you that, under Section 23304.1 of the
California Revenue and Taxation Code (the "Code") the Agreement and Ancillary
Documents are voidable at the option of the Company if you have failed to file a
tax return under the Code or failed to pay any other amount owing to the
California Franchise Tax Board under the Code or to file any statement or return
under the Code, except to the extent that you have complied with Section 23305.1
of the Code. With respect to our opinion in paragraph 4 regarding Material
Contracts, we have relied solely on a certificate from an officer of the Company
that the agreements and other documents listed on Schedule A attached hereto
comprise all of the Material Contracts and our review of those Material
Contracts.

On the basis of the foregoing, in reliance thereon and with the foregoing
qualifications, we are of the opinion that:

1.       The Company has been duly incorporated and is a validly existing
         corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of California.

2.       The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to own or
         lease, as the case may be, and to operate and use its properties and
         assets and to conduct its business as it is currently being conducted.

3.       The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute,
         deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreement and the
         Ancillary Documents and the Agreement and the Ancillary Documents have
         been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company
         and constitute valid and binding agreements of the Company enforceable
         against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as rights to
         indemnity under Section 11.4 of the Agreement with respect to
         liabilities resulting from negligent or intentional acts of the
         Indemnitee may be limited by applicable laws and except as enforcement
         may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
         arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors'
         rights, and subject to general equity principles and to limitations on
         availability of equitable relief, including specific performance.

4.       The execution and delivery of the Agreement and the Ancillary Documents
         by the Company do not, and the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated thereby will not, (a) violate any provision of the
         Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, (b) to our knowledge,
         conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under (with
         or without notice or lapse of time, or both), result in the
         acceleration of, create in any party the right to terminate, modify or
         cancel, or require any notice or consent under (i) any


                                       2.
<PAGE>

         contract, agreement, lease, sublease, license, sublicense, franchise,
         permit, or other arrangement to which the Company is a party or by
         which any of its property or assets are subject and which is material
         to the Company's business or (ii) any indenture, agreement for borrowed
         money, instrument of indebtedness or Security Interest ((i) and (ii)
         collectively, the "Material Contracts"), except as to which consent or
         waivers have been obtained or notices given prior to the date hereof,
         and (c) violate or contravene any governmental statute, rule or
         regulation applicable to the Company.

This opinion is intended solely for your benefit and is not to be made available
to or be relied upon by any other person, firm, or entity without our prior
written consent.

Very truly yours,

Cooley Godward LLP

                          TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

         TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT, dated as of January 29, 1999 (this
"Agreement"), by and between Baxter Healthcare Corporation, a Delaware
corporation, ("Baxter"), and OmniCell Technologies Inc., a California
corporation, (the "Purchaser").

         WHEREAS, Baxter and the Purchaser have entered into an Asset Purchase
Agreement, dated as of December 18, 1998, as amended January 25, 1999 (the
"Purchase Agreement"; all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement), pursuant to
which Baxter agreed to sell and the Purchaser agreed to purchase certain assets
of Baxter relating to the Business (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), all
as more particularly set forth in the Purchase Agreement;

         WHEREAS, it is contemplated under the Purchase Agreement that following
the Closing Date, Baxter will provide, or will cause to be provided, to the
Purchaser, certain services set forth on Schedule A attached hereto which are
currently provided by Baxter in connection with the operation of the Business;
and

         WHEREAS, Baxter is willing to provide, or cause to be provided, such
services to the Purchaser, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements and covenants set forth herein and in the Purchase Agreement, Baxter
and the Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

1. PROVISION OF SERVICES; REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES. (a) Baxter agrees to
provide, or cause to be provided, to the Purchaser the services set forth on
Schedule A hereto (the "Services"), for the period of time following the Closing
set forth on Schedule A hereto with respect to each such Service (the "Term").

         (B) Baxter shall cause the Services to be provided pursuant to this
Agreement in a manner generally consistent with the manner and level of care
with which such services were previously provided by Baxter in connection with
the operation of the Business. Baxter shall use all reasonable efforts to assist
the Purchaser in the transfer of responsibility for Services to the Purchaser.

         (C) The Purchaser, shall promptly upon written request, pay to Baxter
the fees for the Services set forth in Schedule A. Any payments pursuant to this
Agreement shall be made in U.S. Dollars within thirty business days after the
date of receipt by the Purchaser of Baxter's invoice. Baxter reserves the right
to suspend performance under this Agreement upon failure of the Purchaser to
make any payment pursuant to this Agreement when due except to the extent that
such payment is being disposed of in good faith. Any payment required to be made
under this Agreement that is not paid when due shall bear interest at an
interest rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate for three-month
Eurodollar deposits plus 5%.

         (D) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify Baxter and its officers,
directors, shareholders, employees, agents or other representatives, successors
assigns and for and hold them harmless from any and all liabilities, losses,
damages, costs and expenses (including

attorney's fees) incurred by them arising out of the provision by or on behalf
of Baxter of the Services (except for any such liabilities, losses, damages,
costs and expenses arising out of their gross negligence or willful misconduct
in the performance of the Services).

2. FORCE MAJEURE. The obligations of Baxter to perform Services shall be
suspended during the period and to the extent that Baxter or any of its
Affiliates is prevented or hindered from complying therewith by any Requirements
of Law or Court Order or by any cause beyond its control, including, without

                       SERVICE AND INSTALLATION AGREEMENT

         THIS SERVICE AND INSTALLATION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), made and
entered into as of January 29, 1999, is by and between Baxter Healthcare
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Baxter"), and OmniCell Technologies Inc.,
a California corporation ("OmniCell").

         WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Baxter
and OmniCell have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of
December 18, 1998, as amended on January 25, 1999 (the "Purchase Agreement"),
pursuant to which Baxter agreed to sell to OmniCell and OmniCell agreed to
purchase from Baxter certain of the assets of Baxter associated with the
Business, together with certain liabilities related thereto, all as more
particularly set forth in the Purchase Agreement; all capitalized terms used
but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Purchase Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Baxter has
agreed to retain, among other things, (a) the leases between Baxter, or an
Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) of Baxter, and a customer of the Business
covering one or more products of the Business (the "Product Leases") and (b)
all amounts billable or collectible under customer Contracts with respect to
Products (as hereinafter defined) shipped but not invoiced as of the Closing
Date (the "Shipped but Unbilled Accounts"); and

         WHEREAS, as an inducement for Baxter to enter into the Purchase
Agreement, OmniCell has agreed to enter into this Agreement to provide, or
cause to be provided, certain services set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto
with respect to the Product Leases and the Shipped but Unbilled Accounts, all
on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Baxter and
OmniCell hereby agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I

                                   ENGAGEMENT

         SECTION 1.1 GENERAL. OmniCell agrees to Service (as defined in
SECTION 3.1) the products, equipment, apparatus and instruments subject to
the Product Leases or the Shipped but Unbilled Accounts ("Products") and all
accessories for all Products, and Baxter agrees to retain OmniCell to Provide
Service, or cause Service to be provided, with respect to the Products.
OmniCell agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts in the performance of
its service obligations and agrees to do so with the same degree of care,
skill and prudence customarily exercised when engaged in similar activities
for itself, its Affiliates and its other customers. In performing its
obligations under this Agreement, OmniCell will accord Baxter the same
priority under comparable circumstances as it provides itself and its
Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, OmniCell will
not discriminate against Baxter. Baxter and OmniCell will cooperate in
planning the scope and timing of services provided hereunder in order to
minimize or eliminate interference with the conduct of OmniCell's business
activities.

                                      1.

<PAGE>

Notwithstanding any contrary indication herein, if such interference is
unavoidable, OmniCell will apportion the available services in a fair and
reasonable manner.

         SECTION 1.2 "AFFILIATE" DEFINED. As used in this Agreement, the term
"Affiliate" means any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture,
limited liability company, association, joint-stock company, trust,
unincorporated organization or governmental authority which directly or
indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with a
party. OmniCell agrees that its affiliates will, and that it will cause its
affiliates to, observe, perform and refrain from taking action where the
nonobservance, failure to perform or action, if by OmniCell, would result in
a breach hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                    TRAINING

         SECTION 2.1 OMNICELL TRAINING. OmniCell will be responsible for

otherwise delegates any obligation of performance hereunder on how to
service, repair, refurbish and conduct preventive maintenance on all
Products, on all other matters and skills needed or appropriate for OmniCell
to fulfill its obligations hereunder. OmniCell will maintain, or cause to -be
maintained, records of such training sufficient for compliance with
applicable laws and governmental regulations.

                                  ARTICLE III

                             SERVICE TO BE PROVIDED

         SECTION 3.1 "SERVICE" DEFINED. As used in this Agreement, the term
"Service," when used in connection with the Products, means OmniCell's duty
to Baxter to perform such in-warranty and out-of-warranty repair work with
respect to the Products requested by a customer as Baxter may have agreed to
provide, or cause to be provided, to a customer, such installation work as
may be required by the complex nature of the Products, as listed on Exhibit B
attached hereto, including but not limited to installing the Products listed
in Part 3.18(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule by December 31, 1999, such

refurbishment work as Baxter may request on a Product for its own account.

         SECTION 3.2 SERVICE LOCATIONS. OmniCell will provide refurbishment
work at a repair depot specified by Baxter. All other work will typically be
provided at the site of the Product. In some cases it may be necessary to

         SECTION 3.3 SERVICE LEVELS. OmniCell will provide Service in
accordance with the service levels provided on Exhibit A attached hereto.

         SECTION 3.4 BAXTER WARRANTIES TO CUSTOMERS. Baxter has provided the

a Product under warranty, showing as to each such customer the identity of
each such Product and as to each such warranty the expiration date therefor
and (b) a copy of each such warranty identified to each such Product.

                                      2.

provided the following information concerning such service agreements
including, without limitation, the name, address and telephone number of each
customer with a Product for which Baxter or any of its affiliates has agreed
to provide, or cause to be provided, out-of-warranty repair or preventive
maintenance work, showing as to each such customer the identity of each such
Product and a complete description or copy of each such agreement including,
without limitation, the term and duration thereof and the nature and scope of
the work to be provided; provided, however, that such description and such
copy need not show the amount, if any, to be paid by such customer to Baxter
for such work.

         SECTION 3.6 TERM OF PRODUCT LEASES AND SERVICE AGREEMENTS. Baxter
hereby agrees not to extend or renew the term of any of the Product Leases or

fails to provide Service to Baxter in accordance with the terms and conditions
contained in this Agreement for any reason (other than an event of Force Majeure
as described in Section 7.3 of this Agreement) , OmniCell shall reimburse Baxter
the cost of obtaining substitute services from an alternative source, as
described below:

         (I)               Baxter shall take all commercially reasonable steps
                           to obtain services with respect to the Product from
                           an alternative service provider at the lowest price
                           available during any period in which OmniCell is
                           unable to provide Service.

                                      3.

<PAGE>

         (II)              Along with any request for reimbursement by Baxter
                           pursuant to this Section 5.5, Baxter will supply
                           OmniCell with the invoice relating to services
                           obtained pursuant to clause (i) above. OmniCell shall
                           reimburse Baxter for the cost of obtaining alternate
                           services within thirty (30) days of the date of
                           receiving a copy of the invoice for services.

Nothing contained in this Section 5.5 shall preclude Baxter from enforcing
its rights under this Agreement in a court of law or equity.

         SECTION 5.5 INDEMNIFICATION. Each party agrees to protect, defend,
hold harmless and indemnify the other party from and against any and all
damages, claims, losses, liabilities ("Losses") , and to reimburse the other

Losses or expenses result from or are caused by any fault or negligence of
the indemnifying party or any breach by such party hereunder.

         SECTION 5.6 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE
TO THE OTHER PARTY, THE OTHER PARTY'S CUSTOMERS, OR ANY OTHER ENTITY CLAIMING
THROUGH OR UNDER THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR FOR

INCURRED BY SUCH PARTY (WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR BASED ON
A WARRANTY, OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY), EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS

damages shall apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any
limited remedy.

         SECTION 5.7 BASIS OF BARGAIN. The foregoing limitations on liability
and limited remedies set forth in this Agreement, along with the execution of

<PAGE>

         SECTION 6.4 INSOLVENCY, ETC.. Either party may terminate this
Agreement immediately upon notice to the other party (a) if the other party
ceases to do business or otherwise terminates its business operations; (b) if

                                  ARTICLE VII

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

         SECTION 7.1 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. The termination of this Agreement
shall not relieve the parties hereto of any rights or obligations
respectively accrued by or vested in them hereunder prior to such
termination, or as expressly provided herein.

         SECTION 7.2 EXPENSES. The parties have considered the possibility
that one or both of them will incur expenses in preparing for performance of
this Agreement and that one or both of them will incur expenses and suffer

termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms.

         SECTION 7.3 FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party shall be liable to the
other party for failure or delay in the performance of any obligation under

transportation, strikes or other labor trouble, shortages of labor, fire,
storm, flood, earthquake, inability to obtain suitable raw materials,
products, parts, components, fuel or power or extraordinary price increases.
The performance of obligations hereunder shall be suspended during the
existence of such cause, and upon cessation of such cause, shall again be
required.

         SECTION 7.4 NONWAIVER. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at
any time any provision of this Agreement, in case of breach by the other
party of any provision of this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of
any other provision of this Agreement nor of any subsequent breach of the
same provision.

         SECTION 7.5 ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall not be assigned by
either of the parties to any third party without the prior written consent of
the other party; provided, however, that OmniCell may subcontract or
otherwise delegate to any third party any obligation or performance
hereunder, in which case OmniCell shall remain primarily responsible
