                  A.       SCHEDULE 3.1(A) of the SoftDent Disclosure Schedule
contains a complete and accurate list of Ceramco's name, its jurisdiction of
incorporation and other jurisdictions in which it is authorized to do business

                           Ceramco is duly qualified to do business as a foreign
corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each state or other
jurisdiction in which either the ownership or use of the properties owned or
used by it in connection with the SoftDent Business, or the nature of the
activities conducted by it in connection with the SoftDent Business, requires
such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a
SoftDent Material Adverse Effect.

                  B.       SCHEDULE 3.1(B) of the SoftDent Disclosure Schedule
contains a complete and accurate list of SoftDent LLC's name, its jurisdiction
of incorporation and other jurisdictions in which it is authorized to do
business.

                           SoftDent LLC is a limited liability company duly
organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of Delaware,
with full power and authority to conduct its business as it is now being

                           SoftDent LLC is duly qualified to do business as a
foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each state or
other jurisdiction in which either the ownership or use of the

<PAGE>   13

properties owned or used by it, or the nature of the activities conducted by it,
requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would
not have a SoftDent Material Adverse Effect.

         3.2.     AUTHORITY; NO CONFLICT.

and unrestricted right, power (corporate or otherwise), authority, and capacity
to execute and deliver this Agreement and SoftDent's Closing Documents and to
perform their obligations under this Agreement and SoftDent's Closing Documents.
No additional corporate proceedings on the part of Dentsply or Ceramco or
proceedings as a limited liability company of SoftDent LLC are necessary to
authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and SoftDent's Closing
Documents

                  B.       Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 3.2 of the SoftDent
Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor

directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time):

                           (i)      Contravene, conflict with, or result in a
violation of (1) any provision of the Organizational Documents of Dentsply,
Ceramco or SoftDent LLC in effect on the date hereof or (2) any resolution

                           (v)      Result in the imposition or creation of any
material Encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the SoftDent Assets,

         except, in the cases of clauses (ii) through (v) for any such
contravention, conflict, violation or liability as would not have a SoftDent
Material Adverse Effect.

                  Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 3.2 of the SoftDent Disclosure
Schedule, neither Ceramco nor SoftDent LLC is required to give any notice to or
obtain any Consent from any Person in connection with


                                      -13-

of any of the Contemplated Transactions.

SoftDent LLC consist of one hundred (100) membership interests, of which
________ (_______)[NEED TO FILL IN] are issued and outstanding and constitute

Disclosure Schedule are:

                  A.       Unaudited balance sheets of the SoftDent Business, as

                  C.       The foregoing financial statements and related notes
(collectively referred to as the "SOFTDENT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS") fairly present
the financial condition and the results of operations, changes in stockholders'
equity, and cash flow of the SoftDent Business as at the respective dates of and
for the periods referred to in such financial statements, all in accordance with
GAAP, subject to the absence of notes and, in the case of interim financial
statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments (the effect of which will
not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a SoftDent Material Adverse
Effect).

                  D.       The SoftDent Financial Statements reflect the
consistent application of such accounting principles throughout the periods
involved.

         3.5.     BOOKS AND RECORDS. The books of account, minute book,

         3.6.     TITLE TO PROPERTIES; ENCUMBRANCES.

                  A.       SCHEDULE 3.6 of the SoftDent Disclosure Schedule
contains a complete and accurate list of all tangible SoftDent Assets,
including, but not limited to, vehicles, equipment, furniture, and fixtures and
all other items of personal property of Company that are used solely in the
SoftDent Business indicating, with respect to each, those which are owned by
Company and those which are leased by Company.

                  B.       Company has (a) with respect to those assets listed
on SCHEDULE 3.6 as "owned," good and merchantable title to all such assets, free
and clear of all liens, claims, charges, security interests, and other
encumbrances of any kind and of any nature, except as disclosed on SCHEDULE 3.6,
and (b) with respect to assets listed on SCHEDULE 3.6, as "leased," a valid, and
enforceable leasehold interest.

                  C.       All of the tangible SoftDent Assets are in good
operating condition (normal wear and tear excepted), are reasonably fit for the
purposes for which such properties are presently used, are adequate and usable
for the continued operation of the SoftDent Business as the same is presently
conducted, and none of such properties are in need of maintenance or repairs
except for ordinary, routine maintenance and repairs, the cost of which will not
vary materially from historic patterns.

         3.7.     REAL PROPERTY LEASES.

                  A.       Company does not hold any interest in real property
used solely in the SoftDent Business (including, but not limited to, any
interest as a fee owner or any interest as lessor, lessee, sublessor, sublessee,
assignor, assignee or guarantor or other surety) except for the leasehold
interests described on SCHEDULE 3.7 (the "SOFTDENT LEASES"), true and complete
copies of which have been delivered to PracticeWorks, and such Schedule
specifies in the case of each SoftDent Lease the name of the lessor, sublessor,
lessee or sublessee thereunder, the lease term and the basic annual rental and
other items paid or payable with respect thereto.

                  B.       Company has valid, binding and enforceable leases and
subleases with respect to the SoftDent Leases free and clear of all liens,
claims and encumbrances of any kind, except that the enforceability of the
SoftDent Leases may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally and (ii) equitable principles which may limit the availability of
certain equitable remedies (such as specific performance). Neither Company nor,
to the Knowledge of Company, any other party to any such lease has breached any
provision of, or is in default in any respect under, the terms of such lease,
nor does there exist any event which with notice or the lapse of time or both
would constitute a breach or cause a default in any respect under the terms of
any such lease, except for any such breach, default or event as would not have a
SoftDent Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 3.7 of the
SoftDent Disclosure Schedule, the Contemplated Transactions do not require the
consent of any lessor under, and will not result in the termination of any
SoftDent Lease.

                  C.       The copies of the SoftDent Leases heretofore provided
by Ceramco to PracticeWorks are true, correct and complete copies of such
leases. The SoftDent Leases have not been modified or amended since the
commencement of the terms specified in the respective leases, except as
disclosed in the copies made available to PracticeWorks.

                  D.       To Company's Knowledge, the buildings, plants and
structures used solely in the SoftDent Business are structurally sound, are in
good operating condition and repair, and are adequate for the uses to which they
are being put, and none of such buildings, plants or structures is in need of
maintenance or


                                      -15-
<PAGE>   16

repairs except for ordinary, routine maintenance and repairs that are not
material in nature or cost. The building, plants and structures used solely in
the SoftDent Business are sufficient for the continued conduct of the SoftDent
Business after the Closing in substantially the same manner as conducted prior
to the Closing.

         3.8.     ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. All accounts receivable of Ceramco that
are reflected on the Most Recent Balance Sheet and all accounts receivable of
Company relating to the SoftDent Business that will be reflected on the
accounting records of Company as of the Closing Date (collectively, the
"SOFTDENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE") represent or will represent, in all material
respects, valid obligations arising from sales actually made or services
actually performed in the Ordinary Course of Business. Unless paid prior to the
Closing Date, the SoftDent Accounts Receivable are or will be as of the Closing
Date collectible, in all material respects, net of the respective reserves shown
on the Most Recent Balance Sheet.

                  SCHEDULE 3.8 of the SoftDent Disclosure Schedule contains a
complete and accurate list of all SoftDent Accounts Receivable as of October 31,
2000, which list sets forth the aging of such SoftDent Accounts Receivable.

                  Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, Ceramco
will cause all indebtedness owed to SoftDent LLC by Ceramco to be paid in full
prior to Closing.

         3.9.     INVENTORY. All inventory included in the SoftDent Assets,
whether or not reflected in the Financial Statements, consists of a quality and
quantity usable and salable in the Ordinary Course of Business, except for
immaterial amounts of obsolete items and items of below-standard quality, all of
which have been written off or written down to net realizable value in the Most
Recent Balance Sheet or on the accounting records of Company as of the Closing
Date, as the case may be. The quantities of each item of inventory (whether raw
materials, work-in-process, or finished goods) are not excessive, but are
reasonable in the present circumstances of the SoftDent Business.

         3.10.    NO UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES. Except as set forth in SCHEDULE
3.10 of the SoftDent Disclosure Schedule, Company has no liability or obligation
of any nature relating to the SoftDent Business in excess of $25,000 (whether
known or unknown and whether absolute, accrued, contingent, or otherwise) except
for liabilities or obligations reflected or reserved against in the Most Recent
Balance Sheet and current liabilities incurred in the Ordinary Course of
Business since the date thereof.

         3.11.    CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS. SCHEDULE 3.11 sets forth an accurate
list of all customers representing 5% or more of the revenues of the SoftDent
Business in any of the periods covered by the Financial Statements. None of the
suppliers of the SoftDent Business nor any of the customers listed in SCHEDULE
3.11 has canceled or otherwise terminated or, to the knowledge of Company has
threatened in writing delivered to Company to cancel or otherwise terminate its
relationship with Ceramco relating to the SoftDent Business.

         3.12.    TAXES.

                  3.12.1.  Ceramco has not been a member of an Affiliated Group
filing a consolidated federal income Tax Return other than a group the common
parent of which is Dentsply. Dentsply, Ceramco and SoftDent LLC each have timely
filed all Tax Returns required to be filed by them with respect to Ceramco and
SoftDent LLC, including, without limitation, all federal, state and local Tax
Returns, have not extended the time to file any Tax Returns that otherwise
currently would be due, and have paid in full or made adequate provision by the
establishment of reserves for all Taxes and other charges which have become due


                                      -16-
<PAGE>   17

or which are attributable to the conduct of the SoftDent Business prior to
Closing. All such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all material
respects. Dentsply and Ceramco will continue to make adequate provision for all
such Taxes and other charges for all periods through the Closing Date.

                  3.12.2.  Neither Ceramco nor SoftDent LLC has any liability
for Taxes of any person other than Ceramco or SoftDent LLC (i) under Treasury
Regulation ss.1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign
law); (ii) as a transferee or successor; (iii) by contract (including, without
limitation, a tax sharing agreement) or (iv) otherwise. None of Dentsply,
Ceramco or SoftDent LLC has any Knowledge of any tax deficiency proposed or
threatened against Ceramco or SoftDent LLC or the Affiliated Group of which
Dentsply is the common parent. There are no tax liens upon any property or
assets of Ceramco and SoftDent LLC. No written claim has been made to Dentsply,
Ceramco or SoftDent LLC by an authority in a jurisdiction where either the
Affiliated Group of which Dentsply is the common parent, Ceramco or SoftDent LLC
does not file a Tax Return that any of them is or may be subject to taxation by
that jurisdiction.

                  3.12.3.  Dentsply, Ceramco and SoftDent LLC have made all
payments of estimated Taxes when due in amounts sufficient to avoid the
imposition of any penalty with respect to Ceramco, SoftDent LLC or the
Affiliated Group of which Dentsply is the common parent.

                  3.12.4.  All Taxes and other assessments and levies which
Dentsply, Ceramco or SoftDent LLC was required by law to withhold or to collect
on behalf of Ceramco or SoftDent LLC or any of their employees, independent
contractors, creditors, stockholders or other third parties have been duly
withheld and collected, and have been paid over to the proper governmental
entity.

                  3.12.5.  The Tax Returns of Ceramco, SoftDent LLC or the
Affiliated Group of which Dentsply is the common parent have not been audited by
any tax authorities, nor are any such audits in process. There are no
outstanding agreements or waivers extending the statute of limitations
applicable to any Tax Returns of Ceramco, SoftDent LLC or the Affiliated Group
of which Dentsply is the common parent for any period.


                  3.12.6.  SCHEDULE 3.12.6 lists to the best of Company's
Knowledge, all Tax Returns filed with any Governmental Body with respect to
Dentsply, Ceramco or SoftDent LLC, as applicable, with respect to the SoftDent
Business for taxable periods ended on or after March 18, 1998, indicates those
Tax Returns that have been audited, and indicates those Tax Returns that

         3.14.    EMPLOYEE BENEFITS MATTERS.

                  3.14.1.  SCHEDULE 3.14.1 lists each Pension Plan, each Welfare
Plan, and each Benefit Plan sponsored or maintained by or on behalf of, or to
which contributions are or were made by Dentsply, Ceramco, SoftDent LLC and/or
any of their ERISA Affiliates within the last seven (7) years that provide or
provided benefits, compensation or other remuneration to, or for the benefit of,
current or former employees of Dentsply and/or any subsidiary or any other
individual who provides services to Dentsply and/or any subsidiary (including,
but not limited to, any shareholder, officer, director, employee or consultant),
or any spouse, child or other dependent of such current or former employee or
other individual (collectively, the "DENTSPLY PLANS"). Only current employees of
Dentsply and its subsidiaries participate in the Dentsply Plans, except as
required by I.R.C. ss.4980B and/or ERISA ss.ss.601-609. Copies of all Dentsply
Plans and, to the extent applicable, all related trust agreements, actuarial
reports, and valuations for the most recent three (3) years, all summary plan
descriptions, prospectuses, Annual Report Form 5500's or similar forms (and
attachments thereto) for the most recent three (3) years, all IRS or U.S.
Department of Labor determination letters, and any related documents requested
by InfoCure or PracticeWorks, including all amendments, modifications and
supplements thereto, all material employee and/or participant communications
relating to each of the Dentsply Plans, and all insurance contracts,
administrative services agreements or contracts, have been delivered to
InfoCure, and all of the same are true, correct and complete.

                  3.14.2.  With respect to each Dentsply Plan to the extent
applicable:

                           A.       No litigation or administrative or other
proceeding or investigation is pending or threatened involving such Plan or any
administrator, fiduciary, employee, contributing employer, contractor or agent
of such Plan.

                           B.       To the Knowledge of Dentsply, Ceramco and/or
SoftDent LLC, such Plan has been administered and operated in substantial
compliance with, and has been amended to comply with, all applicable laws,
rules, and regulations for which amendments were required to have been adopted
as of the date of this Agreement, including, without limitation, ERISA, the IRC,
and the regulations issued under ERISA and the IRC.

                           C.       Dentsply and each of its ERISA Affiliates
has made and as of the Closing Date will have made or accrued, all payments and
contributions required, or reasonably expected to be required, to be made under
the provisions of such Plan or required to be made under applicable laws, rules
and regulations, with respect to any period prior to the Closing Date, such
amounts to be determined using the ongoing actuarial and funding assumptions of
the Plan if applicable.

                           D.       On the Closing Date each such Plan that is a
Pension Plan will be fully funded in an amount sufficient to pay all liabilities
(whether or not vested) accrued as of the Closing Date or adequate reserves will
be set up on Dentsply's books and records therefore.


                                      -20-
<PAGE>   21

                           E.       Each such Plan has been administered and
operated only in the ordinary and usual course and in accordance with its terms,
and there has not been in the four (4) years prior hereto any increase in the
liabilities of such Plan beyond increases typically experienced by employers
similar to Dentsply.

                           F.       No such Plan is a multi-employer plan (as
defined in ERISAss.3(37) or ss.4001(a)(3)), is not a single-employer plan (as
defined in ERISA ss.4001(a)(15)), or a defined benefit plan (as defined in ERISA
ss.3(35).

                           G.       To the Knowledge of Dentsply, Ceramco and/or
SoftDent LLC, no Person has engaged in any "prohibited transaction" (as defined
in ERISA ss.406 or Code ss.503(b) or ss.4975) with respect to such Plan on or
prior to the Closing Date, and no Person who would be a fiduciary with respect
to such Plan has breached any of his responsibilities or obligations imposed
upon fiduciaries under Title I of ERISA which would subject Ceramco, SoftDent
LLC or any ERISA Affiliate, or any Person whom Ceramco or SoftDent LLC has an
obligation to indemnify, to any material liability.

                           H.       Such Plan contains provisions which allow
benefits under the Plan to be discontinued at any time and for any reason, and
which allow the Plan to be terminated (or SoftDent LLC's participation in the
Plan to be terminated) by Ceramco and/or SoftDent LLC at any time and for any
reason, and, if such Plan were terminated (or SoftDent LLC's participation in
such Plan were terminated) on or prior to the Closing Date, no additional
liability would be incurred by Ceramco or SoftDent LLC by such action.

                           I.       All material communications to participants
and beneficiaries with respect to each such Plan by Dentsply, Ceramco and/or
SoftDent LLC on or prior to the Closing Date have reflected accurately the
documents and operations of such Plan, and neither Ceramco nor SoftDent LLC has,
as of the Closing Date, any liability under any applicable law by reason of all
material communications or failure to communicate with respect to or in
connection with such Plan.

                           J.       No such Plan provides benefits to any
retiree or other former employee, or any other Person who is not performing
services for Ceramco, except as required by I.R.C.ss.4980B and/or ERISA
ss.ss.601-609.

                           K.       No liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation ("PBGC") has been incurred or will be incurred as of the Closing
Date by Dentsply, Ceramco, SoftDent LLC or any ERISA Affiliate.

                           L.       Neither Dentsply, Ceramco, SoftDent LLC nor
any of their ERISA Affiliates have ceased operations at any facility or
withdrawn from any Pension Plan in a manner which could subject Ceramco,
SoftDent LLC or any ERISA Affiliate to liability under ERISA ss.ss.4062, 4063 or
4064, and no events have occurred or will occur on or prior to the Closing Date
which might give rise to any liability of Ceramco, SoftDent LLC or any ERISA
Affiliate to the PBGC under Title IV of ERISA or which could reasonably be
anticipated to result in any claims being made against Ceramco, SoftDent LLC or
ERISA Affiliate by the PBGC.

                           M.       No entitlement to any benefit (including,
but not limited to, severance pay, unemployment compensation or payment
contingent upon a change in control or ownership of SoftDent LLC) from any such
Plan shall arise, and no acceleration or increase in benefits due any Person
shall occur, by reason of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.


                                      -21-
<PAGE>   22

                           N.       Neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement nor the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions will (i) result
in any payment (including severance, unemployment compensation, golden
parachute, bonus or otherwise) becoming due to any shareholder, director or
employee of Company under any Employee Plan or otherwise, (ii) increase any
benefits otherwise payable under any Employee Plan, or (iii) result in the
acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits. Company is
neither a party to nor obligated under any agreement, plan, contract or other
arrangements that will result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of
any "excess parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 28OG of the Code.

                  3.14.3.  There exists no Pension Plan, Welfare Plan or Benefit
Plan of any ERISA Affiliate (such affiliation being determined immediately prior
to the Closing Date, and not thereafter) of Dentsply, Ceramco or SoftDent LLC
which could possibly result in any liability (under any applicable law) being
imposed upon SoftDent LLC after the Closing Date.

                  3.14.4.  The participants and beneficiary records with respect
to each Plan providing benefits to employees or other Persons performing
services for Company and their spouses, dependents, etc., are in the custody of
Company (or an agent of Company who must, upon demand, provide such records to
Company), and such records accurately state the history of each participant and
beneficiary in connection with each such Plan and accurately state the benefits
earned by and/or owed to each such participant and beneficiary.

                  3.14.5.  Neither Company, nor any of its ERISA Affiliates, nor
any of their agents, employees servants, independent contractors, attorneys,
representatives, actuaries, accountants, officers, or directors, has, prior to
the Closing, materially violated any of the health continuation requirements of
the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended
("COBRA"), the requirements of the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993, as amended,
the requirements of the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act, as amended, the
requirements of the Newborns' and Mothers' Health Protection Act of 1996, as
amended, the requirements of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and/or
the Civil Rights Act of 1991 and/or 42 U.S.C. ss.1981, all as amended, the
requirements of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Age
Discrimination Claims Assistance Act of 1988, and the Older Workers' Benefit
Protection Act, all as amended, the requirements of the Americans with
Disabilities Act, as amended, the requirements of ERISA, or any similar
provisions of state law applicable to employees of Company which could result in
liability for SoftDent LLC. None of the Plans promises or provides retiree
medical or other retiree welfare benefits to any person except as required by
applicable law, and Company has not represented, promised or contracted (whether
in oral or written form) to provide such retiree benefits to any employee,
former employee, director, consultant or other person, except to the extent
required by statute.

                  3.14.6.  Company: (i) is in material compliance with all
applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations
respecting employment, employment practices, terms and conditions of employment,
immigration, and wages and hours, in each case, with respect to current and
former employees, consultants and directors; (ii) has withheld and reported all
amounts required by law or by agreement to be withheld and reported with respect
to wages, salaries and other payments to current and former employees,
consultants and directors; (iii) is not liable for any arrears of wages or any
taxes or any penalty for failure to comply with any of the foregoing; and (iv)
is not liable for any payment to any trust or other fund governed by or
maintained by or on behalf of any governmental authority, with respect to
unemployment compensation benefits, social security or other benefits or
obligations for current and former employees, consultants and directors (other
than routine payments to be made in the normal course of business and consistent
with past practice). Except as disclosed on SCHEDULE 3.14 of the SoftDent
Disclosure Schedule, there are no pending, threatened or reasonably anticipated
claims or actions against Company under any worker's compensation policy or
long-term disability policy in connection with the SoftDent Business.

                  B.       (i)      InfoCure, prior to the PracticeWorks Asset
Transfer, and PracticeWorks, after the PracticeWorks Asset Transfer, is in

         4.10.    INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF PRACTICEWORKS.

                  A.       Definitions. As used in this Section 4.10, the term

rights necessary to transfer to PracticeWorks InfoCure's full right, title and
interest to the Applicable PracticeWorks Intellectual Property. The Applicable
PracticeWorks Intellectual Property constitutes all the Intellectual Property
used in and/or necessary to the conduct of the PracticeWorks Business as it
currently is conducted or is reasonably contemplated to be conducted. No
proceeding is pending or threatened against InfoCure, prior to the PracticeWorks
Asset Transfer, and PracticeWorks, after the PracticeWorks Asset Transfer, to
the effect that any Intellectual Property Right of InfoCure, prior to the
PracticeWorks Asset Transfer, and PracticeWorks, after the PracticeWorks Asset
Transfer, in and to the Applicable PracticeWorks Intellectual Property is
invalid or unenforceable by InfoCure, prior to the PracticeWorks Asset Transfer,
and PracticeWorks, after the PracticeWorks Asset Transfer. InfoCure, prior to

Asset Transfer, has not received notice from any third party that the operation

where such defaults will not have a PracticeWorks Material Adverse Effect,
InfoCure, prior to the PracticeWorks Asset Transfer, and PracticeWorks, after
the PracticeWorks Asset Transfer, is in compliance with the terms and
requirements of such Licenses and, to the Knowledge of PracticeWorks, there is
no default by any party thereto. Following the Closing Date, PracticeWorks will
be permitted to exercise all of InfoCure's rights under the PracticeWorks
Licenses Received to the same extent InfoCure would have been able to had the
Contemplated Transactions not occurred and without the payment of any additional
amounts or consideration other than ongoing fees, royalties or payments which
InfoCure would otherwise be required to pay.

                  D.       License Granted. All Licenses Granted by InfoCure,
prior to the PracticeWorks Asset Transfer, and PracticeWorks, after the

PracticeWorks Asset Transfer, and PracticeWorks, after the PracticeWorks Asset
Transfer, has taken commercially reasonable security measures (including,
without limitation, entering into appropriate work product, confidentiality and
nondisclosure agreements with officers, directors, employees and consultants of
InfoCure, prior to the PracticeWorks Asset Transfer, and PracticeWorks, after
the PracticeWorks Asset Transfer, and other persons with access to the
Applicable PracticeWorks Intellectual Property), to protect the confidentiality
and ownership of all Applicable PracticeWorks Intellectual Property, including
all source code developed by InfoCure, prior to the PracticeWorks Asset
Transfer, and PracticeWorks, after the PracticeWorks Asset Transfer. To
PracticeWorks' Knowledge, there has not been any breach by any party to any such
work product, confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement. All persons who have
contributed to or participated in the conception and development of the
Applicable PracticeWorks Intellectual Property on behalf of InfoCure, prior to
the PracticeWorks Asset Transfer, or PracticeWorks, after the PracticeWorks
Asset Transfer, have been full-time employees of InfoCure, prior to the
PracticeWorks Asset Transfer, or PracticeWorks, after the PracticeWorks Asset
Transfer, hired to prepare such works within the scope of employment or have
signed appropriate work product agreements assigning all Intellectual Property
Rights in the Applicable PracticeWorks Intellectual Property to InfoCure.

                  F.       Absence of Claims. No claims have been asserted by
any person or entity to rights in any of the Applicable PracticeWorks
Intellectual Property. To the Knowledge of PracticeWorks, the use of the
Applicable PracticeWorks Intellectual Property by InfoCure, prior to the
PracticeWorks Asset Transfer, and PracticeWorks, after the PracticeWorks Asset
Transfer, and its licensees has not and does not infringe on the Intellectual
Property Rights of any third party. No claim has been asserted by any person to
the effect that any current or former employee of InfoCure, prior to the
PracticeWorks Asset Transfer, or PracticeWorks, after the PracticeWorks Asset
Transfer, has violated the provisions of any work product or nondisclosure
agreement with such person, or has disclosed any proprietary information of such
person to InfoCure, prior to the PracticeWorks Asset Transfer, or PracticeWorks,
after the PracticeWorks Asset Transfer, or any third party.

breaching party;

                  B.       (i)      By PracticeWorks if any of the conditions in
Section 6 have not been satisfied as of the Closing Date or if satisfaction of
such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of
InfoCure or PracticeWorks to comply with its obligations under this Agreement)
and PracticeWorks has not waived such condition on or before the Closing Date;

                           (ii)     By Ceramco, if any of the conditions in

that if this Agreement is terminated by a party because of the Breach of the
Agreement by the other party or because one or more of the conditions to the

result of the other party's failure to comply with its obligations under this
Agreement, the terminating party's right to pursue all legal remedies will
survive such termination unimpaired.

referred to herein as the "POST-CLOSING TAX PERIOD").

                           (ii)     For purposes of this Section 9.1.B, Tax or

                           (iii)    Any Taxes for a period including a
Pre-Closing Tax Period and a Post-Closing Tax Period shall be apportioned

case of other Taxes, on the basis of a closing of the books as of the Closing
Date.

made by Dentsply, Ceramco and SoftDent LLC in this Agreement, the SoftDent
Disclosure Schedule, any supplement to the SoftDent Disclosure Schedule, and any
other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, shall
survive for a period of two (2) years following the Closing; provided, however,
(A) that the representations and warranties made by Dentsply, Ceramco and
SoftDent LLC to the extent they relate to Ceramco's title to the Membership
Interests and the approval of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions
by Dentsply and Ceramco shall survive forever; (B) that the representations and
warranties made by Ceramco in Section 3.12 hereof ("Tax Matters") shall in each
case survive until the six (6) month anniversary of the later of (1) the date on

expired or (2) the date on which the applicable taxable year (or portion
thereof) has closed; (C) that the representations and warranties made by Ceramco
in Sections 3.19 ("Environmental Matters") and 3.14 ("Employee Benefits

                           (ii)     No claim for the recovery of SoftDent
Indemnifiable Damages may be asserted by any SoftDent Indemnified Party against
SoftDent Indemnifying Parties or their successors in interest after such
representations and warranties shall be thus extinguished; provided, however,
that claims first asserted in writing within the applicable period shall not
thereafter be barred. It is further agreed that there shall be no recovery
against any SoftDent Indemnifying Parties of any amount under this Section 9
that would be recoverable under insurance of Dentsply or Ceramco in effect on

shall be obligated to indemnify the SoftDent Indemnified Parties as provided
herein for all such Indemnifiable Damages in excess of the SoftDent Basket
Amount or (B) to the extent that the total of all SoftDent Indemnifiable Damages
exceeds $32.0 million. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the SoftDent Basket Amount

warranties contained in Sections 3.3 ("Capitalization"), 3.10 ("Undisclosed
Liabilities"), 3.12 ("Taxes") or 3.27 ("Brokers or Finders"), (ii) legal and

"INDEMNIFICATION CLAIM") pursuant to Sections 9.1, 9.2 or 9.3 (an "INDEMNIFIED
PARTY") shall give prompt notice to the party from whom such indemnification is
sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") of the assertion of any claim for
Indemnifiable Damages or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, in
respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, including the basis on which
indemnification is sought and the amount of asserted Indemnifiable Damages, and
will give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the
Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, but failure to give such notice shall
not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (except to the
extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice thereby).

                           (ii)     If the Indemnification Claim involves a
Third Party Claim (as defined below), the procedures set forth in Section 9.4.B
hereof shall be observed by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party.

                           (iii)    If the Indemnification Claim involves a
matter other than a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty
(30) days to object to such Indemnification Claim by delivery of a written
notice of objection to the Indemnified Party specifying in reasonable detail the
basis for such objection. Failure to timely so object shall constitute a final
and binding acceptance of the Indemnification Claim by the Indemnifying Party on
behalf of all Indemnified Parties, and the Indemnification Claim shall be paid
in accordance with Section 9.6 hereof. If an objection is timely interposed by
the Indemnifying Party and the dispute is not resolved by the Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party within fifteen (15) days from the date the
Indemnified Party receives such objection, such dispute shall be resolved by
arbitration as provided in Section 9.8 of this Agreement.

                  B.       Third Party Claims.

                           (i)      Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of
notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any
claim or action, suit or proceeding by a person not a party to this Agreement
(other than an affiliate of any party hereto) in respect of which indemnity may
be sought hereunder , except with respect to Dealer Agreement Claims (a "THIRD
PARTY CLAIM"), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party (A)
whether the Indemnifying Party disputes liability to the Indemnified Party with
respect to the Third Party Claim and, if so, the basis of such dispute and (B)
whether the Indemnifying Party elects to exercise its right hereunder to assume
the defense and control the settlement of such Third Party Claim; provided,
however, that (I) the Indemnified Party is hereby authorized (but not obligated)
at its expense to file any motion, answer or other pleading or to take any other
action which the Indemnified Party shall reasonably deem necessary or
appropriate to protect its interest and (II) the Indemnifying Party shall not
have the right to assume the defense and control the settlement of such Third
Party Claim to the extent that such claim seeks, in addition to or in lieu of
monetary damages, any injunctive or other equitable relief against the
Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not defend the Indemnified
Party against a Third Party Claim, whether by failure of the Indemnifying Party
to give the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided herein or otherwise, the
Indemnified Party, without waiving any rights against the Indemnifying Party,
may defend against such Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party all Indemnifiable Damages with
respect to such Third Party Claim.

                           (ii)     If, in the reasonable opinion of the
Indemnified Party, any Third Party Claim or the litigation or resolution thereof
involves an issue or matter which could have a Material Adverse Effect on the
business, operations assets, properties or prospects of the Indemnified Party
(including, without limitation, the administration of the tax returns and
responsibilities under the tax laws of the Indemnified Party), the Indemnified
Party shall have the right to control the defense, compromise and settlement of
such Third Party Claim undertaken by the Indemnifying Party, and the costs and
expenses of the Indemnified Party in connection therewith shall be included as
part of the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder.

                           (iii)    The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified
Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate in (but not
control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim which the
other is defending as provided in this Agreement.

                           (iv)     The Indemnifying Party, if it shall have
assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Agreement,
shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from,
any such Third Party Claim except by order of a court of competent jurisdiction
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any
compromise or settlement that commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to
forbear to take, any action or that does not provide for a complete release by
such third party of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the
sole and exclusive right to settle any Third Party Claim, on such terms and
conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third Party
Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief against the Indemnified
Party, and unless the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of such
Third Party Claim, shall have the right to settle any Third Party Claim
involving monetary damages with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Consent shall be
presumed in the case of settlements of $20,000 or less where the party whose
consent is required has not responded within five (5) business days of notice of
a proposed settlement. If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense
of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not consent to a
settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party
Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except that no such consent
shall be required to the extent that a Third Party Claim that involves equitable
or other non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party.

                           (v)      Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party
chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim (including for purposes of
this paragraph (v) only, Dealer Agreement Claims), all the parties hereto shall
cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records,
information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings,
hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection
therewith. The parties to this Agreement shall execute such powers of attorney
as may reasonably be necessary or appropriate to permit participation of counsel
selected by any party hereto and, as may reasonably be related to any such claim
or action, shall provide access to the counsel, accountants and other
representatives of each party during normal business hours to such properties,
personnel, books, tax records, contracts, commitments and other business records
of such other party as may reasonably be requested and will furnish to such
other party copies of all such documents as may reasonably be requested
(certified, if requested).

         9.5.     SOLE REMEDY. In the event that the Closing occurs, the right
to payment of Indemnifiable Damages as provided in this Section 9 shall be the
sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party under this Agreement against
any Indemnifying Party in respect of the Contemplated Transactions.

         9.6.     MANNER AND AMOUNT OF INDEMNIFICATION.

                  A.       Indemnification by Dentsply or Ceramco. Any
indemnification payment made by a SoftDent Indemnifying Party may be made, at
the option of the SoftDent Indemnifying Party, in cash or by the delivery to
PracticeWorks of an aggregate number of shares of PracticeWorks Common Stock, or
of PracticeWorks Preferred Stock convertible into PracticeWorks Common Stock,
having a value equal to the amount of the SoftDent Indemnifiable Damages, such
value to be measured by the Original Purchase Price per share, as defined in the
Certificate of Designation.

                  B.       Indemnification by PracticeWorks. Any indemnification
payment made by a PracticeWorks Indemnifying Party may be made, at the option of
the PracticeWorks Indemnifying Party, in cash or by the delivery to Ceramco of
PracticeWorks Common Stock having a value equal to the amount of


                                     - 48 -
<PAGE>   49

the PracticeWorks Indemnifiable Damages, such value to be measured by the
Original Purchase Price per share.

                  C.       Time for Payment. Payment shall be made under this
Article 9 when either (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree
on the amount of Indemnifiable Damages or (ii) the amount of Indemnifiable
Damages is finally determined pursuant to Section 9.8 below.

                  D.       Adjustments. The parties will make appropriate
adjustments for any Tax benefits or Tax detriments in determining Indemnifiable
Damages.

                  E.       Subsequent Disclosure. No Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to any indemnity for Indemnifiable Damages to the extent that the
existence of such Indemnifiable Damages, the breach of covenant or warranty or
the falsity of the representation upon which such Indemnifiable Damages would be
based is disclosed in the SoftDent Disclosure Schedule (in the case of a
SoftDent Indemnified Party) or the PracticeWorks Disclosure Schedule (in the
case of a PracticeWorks Indemnified Party); provided that any such
misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant so disclosed after execution
and delivery of this Agreement and prior to Closing shall not affect the right
of InfoCure, PracticeWorks, or Dentsply, as the case may be, to elect not to
close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the extent provided in
Section 6 or Section 7, as the case may be.

         9.7.     NO LIABILITY OR CONTRIBUTION BY SOFTDENT LLC. The parties
hereto acknowledge that because PracticeWorks will become directly or indirectly
the owner of SoftDent LLC as a result of the Contemplated Transactions,
PracticeWorks shall not be required to assert any claim arising out of any
breach of covenant or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this
Agreement or the SoftDent Disclosure Schedule, or any supplement thereto,
against SoftDent LLC. Instead, any such claim shall be asserted against Dentsply
or Ceramco who hereby assumes all liability therefore in accordance with, and
subject to the conditions and restrictions of this Section 9. Furthermore,
SoftDent LLC shall not have any liability to PracticeWorks as a result of any
misrepresentation or breach of representation or warranty by SoftDent LLC
contained in this Agreement, the SoftDent Disclosure Schedule, or any supplement
thereto, or closing certificates, instruments, agreements, or other writing
delivered by, or on behalf of, Dentsply, Ceramco or SoftDent LLC pursuant to
this Agreement or in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, or the
breach of any covenant or agreement of Dentsply, Ceramco or SoftDent LLC
contained in this Agreement or in the SoftDent Disclosure Schedule or any
supplement thereto, or in any certificate, instrument, agreement, or other
writing delivered to PracticeWorks by, or on behalf of, Dentsply, Ceramco or
SoftDent LLC pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or in connection with
the Contemplated Transactions, and Dentsply and Ceramco shall not have any right
of indemnification or contribution against SoftDent LLC on account of any event
or condition occurring or existing prior to or on the date hereof with respect
to the SoftDent Business.

         9.8.     ARBITRATION. All disputes arising under this Section 9 shall
be submitted to and settled by arbitration. Arbitration shall be by three (3)
arbitrators selected in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association, Cobb County, Georgia ("AAA"), by the AAA. The hearing before the
arbitrator shall be held in Atlanta, Georgia and shall be conducted in
accordance with the rules existing at the date thereof of the AAA, to the extent
not inconsistent with this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator shall be
final and binding as to any matters submitted to them under this Section 9. All
costs and expense incurred in connection with any such arbitration proceeding
and those incurred in any civil action to enforce the same shall be borne by the
party against which the decision is rendered.

10.      GENERAL PROVISIONS.

         10.1     TAX MATTERS. The following provisions shall govern the
allocation of responsibility among InfoCure, PracticeWorks, Dentsply and Ceramco
for certain tax matters following the Closing Date:

                  A.       Tax Sharing Agreements. Any tax sharing agreement
between Dentsply, Ceramco and/or SoftDent LLC and any other member of the
Affiliated Group of which Ceramco is a member will be terminated as of the
Closing Date and will have no further effect for any taxable year (whether the
current year, a future year or a past year).

                  B.       Returns for Periods Through the Closing Date.
Dentsply will include the income of Ceramco (including any deferred income
triggered into income by Reg. ss.1.1502-13 and Reg. ss.1.1502-14 and any excess
loss accounts taken into income under Reg. ss.1.1502-19) on the Dentsply
consolidated federal income Tax Returns and any similar unitary or combined
state income Tax Returns for all periods through the Closing Date and pay any
federal or state income Taxes attributable to such income. After the Closing
Date, SoftDent LLC will furnish Tax information to Dentsply for inclusion in
Dentsply's federal consolidated income Tax Return and any similar unitary or
combined state income Tax Return for the period which includes the Closing Date
in accordance with Dentsply's past custom and practice. Dentsply will allow
PracticeWorks and InfoCure an opportunity to review and comment upon such Tax
Returns (including any amended returns) to the extent that they relate to
SoftDent LLC. Dentsply will take no position on such returns that relate to
SoftDent LLC that would adversely affect SoftDent LLC or PracticeWorks after the
Closing Date unless such position would be reasonable in the case of a person
that owned SoftDent LLC and PracticeWorks both before and after the Closing
Date. For purposes of such Tax Returns, the income of Ceramco will be
apportioned to the period up to and including the Closing Date and the period
after the Closing Date by closing the books of Ceramco as of the end of the
Closing Date. With respect to Tax Returns other than consolidated federal income
Tax Returns and unitary or combined state income Tax Returns, PracticeWorks
shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed, all Tax
Returns for SoftDent LLC for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date
which are required to be filed after the Closing Date. PracticeWorks shall
permit Dentsply or Ceramco to review and comment on each such material Tax
Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing. Dentsply or Ceramco
shall reimburse PracticeWorks for Taxes of SoftDent LLC with respect to any
period on or prior to the Closing Date within fifteen (15) days of written
notice thereof by PracticeWorks (but no earlier than fifteen (15) days prior to
the date such Taxes are due) to the extent such Taxes are not reflected in the
reserve for Tax liability in the Most Recent Balance Sheet. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Tax Returns of SoftDent LLC relating to the reporting year 2000
that have not been filed as of the Closing Date shall be prepared and filed by
Dentsply.

                  C.       Audits and Cooperation. After the Closing Date,
Dentsply will provide PracticeWorks with written notice of any audits,
litigation or other proceedings with respect to Dentsply's consolidated federal
income Tax Returns and/or unitary or combined state income Tax Returns to the
extent that such audit, litigation or other proceeding relates to Ceramco or
SoftDent LLC. Dentsply will not settle any such audit, litigation, or other
proceeding in a manner which would adversely affect SoftDent LLC or
PracticeWorks after the Closing Date unless such settlement would be reasonable
in the case of a person that owned SoftDent LLC and PracticeWorks both before
and after the Closing Date. Further, InfoCure, PracticeWorks, Dentsply, Ceramco
and SoftDent LLC shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably
requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns
pursuant to this Section and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with
respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the
other party's request) the provision of records and information which are
reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making
employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional
information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. InfoCure,
PracticeWorks,


                                     - 50 -
<PAGE>   51

Dentsply and Ceramco agree (1) to retain all books and records with respect to
Tax matters pertinent to the SoftDent Business or the PracticeWorks Business
relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the
expiration of the statute of limitations (and any extensions thereof) of the
respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements
entered into with any taxing authority and (2) to give the other party
reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any
such books and records and, if the other party so requests, to allow the other
party to take possession of such books and records. InfoCure, PracticeWorks,
Dentsply and Ceramco further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to
obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any
other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that
could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby).

                  D.       Carryovers. After the Closing Date, Dentsply will not
elect to retain any net operating loss carryovers or capital loss carryovers of
SoftDent LLC under Reg.ss.1.1502-20(g). After the Closing Date, PracticeWorks
will not elect to carry back any post-Closing losses or other items of SoftDent
LLC to pre-Closing tax periods.

                  E.       Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales,
use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties
and interest) incurred in connection with the transfer of the SoftDent Assets
and the Membership Interests shall be paid by Ceramco when due, and all
transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and
fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the
transfer of the PracticeWorks Assets shall be paid by InfoCure when due. The
party responsible for such costs will, at its own expense, file all necessary
Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer,
documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if
required by applicable law, PracticeWorks will, and will cause its affiliates
to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

         10.2.    EMPLOYEES. Following the Closing, PracticeWorks shall permit
the employees of SoftDent LLC to participate in PracticeWorks' employee benefit
plans and programs on a substantially similar basis (including satisfaction of
eligibility requirements) as PracticeWorks provides employee benefits to its
employees, giving credit for all service with Dentsply, Ceramco and SoftDent
LLC, to the same extent prior to the Closing Date under the corresponding
benefit plan or program of Dentsply or SoftDent LLC, without duplication of
benefits as permitted by applicable law.

         10.3.    NO DEEMED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY. None of Dentsply,
Ceramco or SoftDent LLC shall be deemed to have made to InfoCure or
PracticeWorks, and neither InfoCure nor PracticeWorks shall be deemed to have
made to Dentsply, Ceramco or SoftDent LLC, any representation or warranty other
than as expressly made by such party in this Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any otherwise express
representation or warranty made by a party in this Agreement, no party makes any
representation or warranty to any other party with respect to:

                  A.       Any projections, estimates or budgets heretofore
delivered to or made available to such other party of future revenues, expenses
or expenditures or future results of operations; or

                  B.       Except as expressly covered by a representation and
warranty contained in this Agreement, any other information or document
(financial or otherwise) made available to such other party or its counsel,
accountants or advisers with respect to such party.

<PAGE>   52

         10.1.    CERTAIN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. InfoCure and PracticeWorks each
acknowledge that:

                  A.       It has had the opportunity to visit with Ceramco and
SoftDent LLC and meet with their respective officers and other representatives
to discuss the business and the assets, liabilities, financial condition, cash
flow and operations of Ceramco and SoftDent LLC;

                  B.       All materials and information requested by InfoCure
or PracticeWorks have been provided to InfoCure or PracticeWorks to their
reasonable satisfaction;

                  C.       It has made its own independent examination,
investigation, analysis and evaluation of Ceramco and SoftDent LLC, including
InfoCure's and PracticeWorks' own estimate of the value of the SoftDent
Business; and

                  D.       It has undertaken such due diligence (including a
review of the assets, liabilities, books, records and contracts of Ceramco and
SoftDent LLC) as InfoCure and PracticeWorks each deem adequate, including that
described above.

         10.1.    EXPENSES. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, each party to this Agreement will bear its respective expenses
incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, and performance of this
Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including all fees and expenses of
agents, representatives, counsel, and accountants.

         10.6.    PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. Any public announcement or similar
publicity with respect to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions will
be issued, if at all, at such time and in such manner as InfoCure and Dentsply
may jointly agree, except to the extent that disclosure is required by Legal
Requirements. Unless consented to in advance by InfoCure, in the case of
disclosure by Dentsply, Ceramco or SoftDent LLC, or by Dentsply, in the case of
disclosure by InfoCure or PracticeWorks, unless required by Legal Requirements
or until public disclosure of the Contemplated Transactions has been made by the
parties to this Agreement, prior to the Closing each of the parties to this
Agreement shall keep this Agreement strictly confidential and may not make any
disclosure of this Agreement to any Person (other than their respective
Representatives).

                  The parties will consult with each other concerning the means
by which Ceramco's employees, customers, and suppliers and others having
dealings with Ceramco will be informed of the Contemplated Transactions, and
InfoCure or PracticeWorks will have the right to be present for any such
communication.

         10.7.    CONFIDENTIALITY. Between the date of this Agreement and the
Closing Date, parties will maintain in confidence, and will cause the directors,
officers, employees, agents, and advisors of InfoCure and PracticeWorks, on the
one hand and Dentsply, Ceramco and SoftDent LLC, on the other hand, to maintain
in confidence, and not use to the detriment of any other party any written,
oral, or other information obtained in confidence from another party in
connection with this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, unless:

                  A.       Such information is already known to such party or to
others not bound by a duty of confidentiality or such information becomes
publicly available through no fault of such party;

                  B.       The use of such information is necessary or
appropriate in making any filing or obtaining any consent or approval required
for the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions; or


                                     - 52 -
<PAGE>   53

                  C.       The furnishing or use of such information is required
by or necessary or appropriate in connection with legal proceedings.

                  If the Contemplated Transactions are not consummated, each
party will return or destroy as much of such written information as the other
party may reasonably request.

      10.8.    NOTICES. All notices, consents, waivers, and other
communications under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to
have been duly given when (i) delivered by hand (with written confirmation of

         10.9.    JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS. Any action or proceeding
seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this
Agreement may be brought against any of the parties in the courts of the State
of Georgia, County of Cobb, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, and each of
the parties consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate
appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to
venue laid therein. Process in any action or proceeding referred to in the
preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere in the world.

         10.10.   FURTHER ASSURANCES. The parties agree (i) to furnish upon
request to each other such further information; (ii) to execute and deliver to
each other such other documents and (iii) to do such other acts and things, all
as the other party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the
intent of this Agreement and the documents referred to in this Agreement.
Dentsply, Ceramco and SoftDent LLC will afford PracticeWorks and PracticeWorks'
accountants, counsel and other representatives reasonable access to its
properties, books, records and personnel during the period prior to the Closing
Date to obtain all information concerning the SoftDent Business as PracticeWorks
may reasonably request to assist PracticeWorks in causing to be filed such
documents with the SEC and other Governmental Bodies as may be necessary to
fulfill PracticeWorks obligations hereunder. InfoCure and PracticeWorks will
provide Dentsply and Ceramco with a copy of all such filings concurrently with
their filing and will notify Dentsply and Ceramco as promptly as practicable
after receipt of any comments from any such Governmental Body. No information or
knowledge obtained in any investigation pursuant to this Section 10.10 will
affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained herein or
the conditions to the obligations of any party to this Agreement to consummate
the Contemplated Transactions.

         10.11.   WAIVER. Except as provided in Section 9.4, the rights and
remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative.
Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power,
or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement
will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or
partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other
or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any
other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law:

                  A.       No claim or right arising out of this Agreement or
the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in
whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in
writing signed by the other party;

                  B.       No waiver that may be given by a party will be
applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and

                  C.       No notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to
be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving
such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as
provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

         10.12.   ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND MODIFICATION. This Agreement supersedes
all prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter and
constitutes (along with the documents referred to in this Agreement) a complete
and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with
respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a
written agreement executed by the party to be charged with the amendment.

         10.13.   DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE. In the event of any inconsistency between
the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the SoftDent
Disclosure Schedule or the PracticeWorks Disclosure Schedule (other than an
exception expressly set forth as such in such Disclosure Schedule with respect
to a specifically identified representation or warranty), the statements in the
body of this Agreement will control.

         10.14.   ASSIGNMENTS, SUCCESSORS AND NO THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. Dentsply,
Ceramco and, prior to the Closing, SoftDent LLC, may not assign any of their
respective rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of InfoCure,
and InfoCure, PracticeWorks and, following the Closing, SoftDent LLC, may not
assign any of their respective under this Agreement without the prior consent of
Dentsply, which, in each case, will not be unreasonably withheld. Subject to the
preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects
upon, and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the
parties.

                  Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be
construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal
or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or
any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and
conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this
Agreement and their successors and assigns.

         10.15.   SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held
invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other
provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision
of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will
remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

         10.16.   SECTION HEADINGS; CONSTRUCTION. The headings of Sections in
this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its
construction or interpretation. All references to "Section" or "Sections" refer
to the corresponding Section or Sections of this Agreement. All words used in
this Agreement will be construed to be of such gender or number as the
circumstances require. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the word "including"
does not limit the preceding words or terms.

         10.17.   TIME OF ESSENCE. With regard to all dates and time periods set
forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

         10.18.   GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of
the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

         10.19.   COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this
Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute
one and the same agreement.
