condition of the Company (the "Material Contracts") and which will be
enforceable against the Company after the Effective Date (other than agreements
with physician/hosts paid at an annual rate of $100,000 or less).  The Material
Contracts are valid and binding and in full force and effect and there does 
not exist any default by the Company, or, to the Company's best knowledge, by
any other party thereto, or event which with notice or lapse of time or both
would constitute a default by the Company, or, to the Company's best knowledge,
by any other party thereto, under a Material Contract which default would allow
the termination thereof.

       (l)  LITIGATION.  There are no actions, suits, proceedings or
investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in any
court or before any governmental agency or instrumentality against or affecting
the Company or the business, operations, financial condition or properties or
assets of the Company, or which would prevent the carrying out of this
Agreement of the Partnership Agreement, or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, or declare the same unlawful or cause the
rescission hereof.  The Company has not been charged with, nor to its 
knowledge, is it threatened with or under an investigation with respect to, any
charge concerning any violation of any provision of any federal, state or local
law, regulation, ordinance, order or administrative ruling, nor is the Company
in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court,
governmental agency or instrumentality.

       (m)  SECURITIES LAWS.  The sale of the Securities, as provided in this
Agreement, is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirement
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and is
registered or qualified (or is exempt from registration or qualification) under
the registration or qualification requirements of all applicable state
securities laws.  Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf will
take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemption.

       (n)  DISCLOSURE.  None of this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule, the
Memorandum and the Forecast (Memorandum and Forecast being defined in
Section 4.1) nor any certificate or other instrument referred to herein or
otherwise furnished to the Subscriber by the Company contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  There is no fact
known to the Company relating to the business, affairs, operations, condition
or prospects of the Company which materially adversely affects the same and
which has not been disclosed to the Subscriber by the Company.


  4.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SUBSCRIBER.

       The Subscriber acknowledges that the Partnership Interest is offered
pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.  In
connection therewith the Subscriber makes the following representations,
warranties and acknowledgements, realizing that they are being relied upon by
the Company for purposes of determining the Subscriber's suitability as an
investor in the Company and compliance by the Company with applicable
Federal and state securities laws and regulations:

       (a)  The Subscriber has read the Confidential Private Placement
Memorandum entitled "America's Health Network, G.P." and dated August 1995,
together with the supplement thereto dated March 18, 1996 (as so amended, the
"Memorandum") and the 

                                       7 

<PAGE>

Forecast Financial Statements of AHN Partners, L.P. (together with assumptions)
dated March 29, 1996 (the "Forecast").  The Subscriber has such knowledge and
expertise in financial and business matters that the Subscriber is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Partnership Interest and
the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of investment in the Company
Interest and the complete loss of the Subscriber's investment.

       (b)  The Subscriber has received and read or reviewed and is familiar
with the Partnership Agreement and such other documents which relate to its
subscription for the Partnership Interest, and the Subscriber confirms that all
documents, agreements, records and books pertaining to the investment in the
Company and requested by the Subscriber have been made available or delivered to
the Subscriber.

       (c)  The Subscriber has obtained, to the extent the Subscriber has
deemed necessary, the Subscriber's own personal professional advice with respect
to the risks inherent in investment in the Partnership Interest, the suitability
of such investment in light of the Subscriber's financial condition and
investment needs, and legal, tax and accounting matters. 

       (d)  In connection with the Subscriber's acquisition of the Partnership
Interest, the Subscriber has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of
and receive answers from representatives of the General Partner and from persons
authorized to act on the Company's behalf concerning (i) the terms and
conditions of this investment, and (ii) the Company and its operations.  In
addition, the Subscriber has been afforded the opportunity to obtain any
additional information which the Company possesses or could acquire without
unreasonable effort or expense which the Subscriber requires in order to verify
the accuracy of the information provided by the Company.

       (e)  The Subscriber understands that future operating results of the
Company are subject to events over which the Company will have only partial or
no control and to various uncertainties inherent in the Company's activities.
No representation has been made or could be made as to the amount of future
profits or losses of the Company. 

       (f)  The Subscriber has adequate means of providing for its current
needs and possible business contingencies, has no need for liquidity of
investment in the Partnership Interest and has no reason to anticipate any
change in business circumstances, financial or otherwise, which may cause or
require any sale or distribution of the Partnership Interest. 

       (g)  The Subscriber understands that investment in the Company is an
illiquid investment.  In particular, the Subscriber recognizes that:

                   (i)     The Subscriber must bear the economic risk of
investment in the Partnership Interest for an indefinite period of time, since
the Partnership Interest has not been registered under the Securities Act, and,
therefore, cannot be sold unless either it is 


                                       8 
<PAGE>

subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
registration is available and a favorable opinion of counsel for the Partnership
to that effect is obtained (if requested by the General Partner);

                  (ii)     The Subscriber will not have the right to require
registration of the Partnership Interest under the Securities Act and will not
be entitled to the benefits of Rule 144 thereunder, and

                 (iii)     No established market for the Partnership Interest
will exist and it is extremely unlikely that any public market for the
Partnership Interest will develop.

       (h)  The Subscriber represents that the Partnership Interest is being
purchased by it or for its own account, for purposes of investment and not for
the account of any other person and not for distribution, assignment or resale
to others, and no other person has a direct or beneficial interest in the
Partnership Interest.  The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the
Partnership Interest has not been registered under the Securities Act or under
state laws.

       (i)  The Subscriber, if a corporation, partnership, trust or other
entity, is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to purchase and hold the
Partnership Interest and to enter into this Admission Agreement.

       (j)  All information which the Subscriber has provided to the Company
concerning the Subscriber's financial position and knowledge of financial and
business matters, or, in the case of a corporation, partnership, trust or other
entity, concerning the knowledge of financial and business matters of the
person(s) making the investment decision on behalf of such entity, is correct
and complete as of the date set forth on the signature page hereof, and if
there should be any adverse change in such information prior to his, her, or its
subscription being accepted, he, she, or it will immediately provide the Company
with such information.

       (k)  The Subscriber acknowledges and is aware that the Company has no
financial operating history; this is the Company's first venture; and the
Partnership Interest involves a high degree of risk of loss by the Subscriber of
its entire investment in the Company.

       (l)  The Subscriber is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501
under the Securities Act, inasmuch as the Subscriber is:

       (Please initial all applicable descriptions)
