Manager as the exclusive manager of the Business and grants Manager all the
power and authority necessary to carry out, in the manner deemed best by
Manager, the management of the Business; provided, however, that this Agreement
shall in no way modify the responsibility of Owner to comply with state and
federal licensure laws and Medicare certification requirements. The relationship
between Manager and Owner is one of principal and agent. Manager and Owner are
not partners or joint-venturers and it is agreed that Manager is acting solely
as the agent of Owner in performing services to be provided hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the responsibility of Manager to operate the
Business shall be exclusive, including to the exclusion of Owner. As the
exclusive manager to the Business, Manager is responsible for the following, but
only with respect to the Business:

                  a.       executive management;

                  b.       finance (i.e., general ledger, payroll and other

<PAGE>

                  f.       reimbursement;

                  g.       compliance;

                  h.       accounts payable, including approval, cash
                           management, and payment;

                  i.       procurement;

                  j.       asset management;

                  k.       disbursements;

                  l.       tax compliance; and

                  m.       expansion.

         At the request of Owner, Manager shall provide the services set forth
above, except for maintaining the general ledger and complying with Securities
and Exchange Commission reporting requirements, for all business operations of
Owner.

            2.02 BOOKS AND RECORDS; FINANCIAL REPORTS. Manager shall establish
and administer accounting procedures, controls and systems for the development,
preparation and safekeeping of records and books of accounts relating to
financial affairs of the Business. Manager shall provide quarterly operational
reports to Owner.

            2.03 NO ASSUMPTION OF DEBT OR LIABILITIES. Manager is not assuming
any of Owners debt, obligations or liabilities arising either before or after
the Effective Date.

            2.04 OTHER OPERATIONS. Manager and its Affiliates shall have the
right to conduct any other business activity and to own any assets, regardless
of location, except that, during the term of this Agreement, Manager shall not
own, operate or manage any retail drug store within five (5) miles of any
location listed on Exhibit A without the prior consent of Owner. Manager
acknowledges that it has affiliations with certain affiliates (e.g., Chartwell
Management Company, Inc.) who also operate pharmacy-related businesses and
Manager stipulates and agrees that, to the extent such affiliates operate any
retail drug store, such operation will never be permitted by Manager to
materially interfere with Manager's obligations hereunder; provided, however,
that the foregoing provision shall not apply to joint ventures of Manager's
Affiliates with unrelated third parties which are referred to as the National
Centers of Excellence ("NCOE").

            2.05 ADDITIONAL BUSINESS UNITS. In the event that during the term
hereof Manager acquires any retail or institutional pharmacies, such pharmacies
shall be operated for the benefit of Owner and managed pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement.

(a) they both have long-term relationships with NCFE and understand the nature
of NCFE's business, (b) Owner is currently planning on acquiring several

Agreement absent assurances that Manager will work with reasonable diligence to
comply with Owner's expansion plans and (d) Manager hereby provides those
assurances.

         3. CONSIDERATION TO MANAGER. In consideration of Manager's performance
of the management services required under this Agreement, Owner shall compensate
Manager as follows:

            a. Owner shall pay Manager one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000)
on the fifteenth (15th) and on the last day of each month, for a total of two
hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) each month. Such amount shall be adjusted
annually, on the anniversary of the Effective Date, by a percentage equal to the
percentage increase in the CPI between the Effective Date and such anniversary
Date ("Fixed Management Fee").

            b. On or before the twentieth (20th) day of each month, Owner shall
pay Manager forty percent (40%) of the EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization) generated by the Business for the previous month,
less the amount of Fixed Payment in the previous month ("Contingent Management
Fee").

            c. In the event that any payment due Owner shall become overdue for
a period of five (5) days, a late charge of five cents ($.05) for each dollar
($1.00) so overdue may be charged by Owner for the purpose of defraying the
expense incident to handling such delinquent payment.

            d. Owner, with the written consent of Manager, shall have the right
to designate certain senior staff of Manager (not to exceed three (3)), whose
sole responsibilities are to provided services in connection with the Business,
to become employees of Owner. Such employees shall be compensated by Owner and
shall remain under the management and supervision of Manager. Any compensation
negotiated directly with such employees shall not be considered in determining
EBITDA in connection with the calculation of the Contingent Management Fee.

         4. TERM AND TERMINATION.

            4.01 TERM. This Agreement shall have a term of ten (10) years

of Manager;

                     (iii) any act of bankruptcy by Manager; and/or

                     (iv) breach of any material term of this Agreement, where
such breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the giving of
written notice of the breach, specifying the nature of the breach, and complying
with all provisions regarding mediation set forth herein.

                 (b) Manager shall have no right to terminate this Agreement
unless and until one of the following events occur (hereinafter "Owner

Agreement to the contrary, Manager agrees that no event occurring with respect
or appertaining to the Management Services and Joint Venture Agreement dated as
of April 7, 2000 by and between Prime Med Pharmacy Services, Inc. and Owner
(hereinafter "Master Management Agreement") (including, without limitation, an
adverse judicial ruling of Owner's rights under that Master Management Agreement
or any other result having anything to do with that Master Management Agreement)
shall permit Manager to in any way declare a default hereunder; it being the
intention of the parties hereto that Manager shall develop and grow Owner's
Pharmacy Division irrespective of any outcome arising from the Master Management
Agreement. On the other hand, to the extent Owner continues to operate under the
Master Management Agreement, Manager is expected hereunder to fully perform its
duties arising by reason of the Master Management Agreement.

<PAGE>

"Default Notice") to the defaulting Party in accordance with the requirements of
this Section 4.04. A Default Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the
events which the non-defaulting Party believes have occurred and which
constitute or evidence a Default, the provisions of this Agreement which have
not been performed or complied with, and the actions which, in the opinion of
the non-defaulting Party, would be required to fulfill the requirements of this
Agreement and cure the Default. A Default shall not be deemed to have occurred
unless and until ninety (90) days has lapsed since the non-defaulting Party
provided notice to the defaulting party of the Defaulting and the defaulting
Party has not cured the Default. For the purposes of this agreement, all
defaults shall be presumed curable and no default shall be deemed to occur
unless and until the non-defaulting Party provides, in writing, an outline of
the acts necessary to achieve a cure.

the inability to resolve the dispute under Section 4.07, (c) the delivery of a
Default Notice to the defaulting Party as provided in Section 4.04, (d) the
circumstance where a specific remedy for the Default is not set forth above
and/or such a specific remedy is so set forth but compliance with such remedial
procedure has not yielded a resolution of the Default, and (e) the defaulting
Party's failure to cure the Default set out in the Default Notice prior to the
expiration of the cure period specified in Section 4.04 above and any extension
of that cure period, the defaulting Party shall be deemed to be in breach of
this Agreement and the non-defaulting Party shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement by delivering written notice of termination to the defaulting
Party.

            4.06 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Upon termination of this Agreement (and
irrespective of which Party terminates this Agreement), all of the following
shall apply:

                 (a) Manager shall turn over to Owner a complete set of books
and records appertaining to the Business within thirty (30) days after the
termination has become effective and all cure periods and other required time
has lapsed; and

                 (b) Subject to subsection (c) below; Manager shall have no
further right to operate the Business, whether directly or indirectly; and

                 (c) All sums due Manager hereunder, whether appertaining to

by Owner to Manager within one hundred eighty (180) days after the effectiveness
of the termination.

            4.07 DISPUTE ESCALATION AND MEDIATION. The parties hereto agree that
they will use all reasonable efforts to resolve any disputes arising out of this
Agreement in a cooperative and expeditious manner. If the staff members for each
party are unable to resolve the dispute within ten (10) days after it arises,
either party hereto may escalate the dispute to Manager's Chief Executive
Officer then to Owner's Chairman (hereinafter collectively "Mediation
Officers"). Upon such escalation, which must be announced by the party wishing
to avail itself of the remedy within ten (10) days after the dispute arises and
if not so announced is waived, the Mediation Officers shall meet in person to
discuss the outstanding issues and attempt in good faith to reach a resolution.
If the foregoing procedure fails to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days
after such meeting, the parties hereto shall be entitled to any and all remedies
provided


                                       7
<PAGE>

by law. Nothing herein shall permit one party to (a) claim a default by the
other hereunder, (b) attempt to terminate this Agreement but (c) not attend the
meeting noticed by the party wishing to avail itself of the escalation and
mediation procedure set forth herein. In the event a party under such
circumstances attempts to terminate this Agreement, such termination shall be
void ab initio and until the party asserting breach and termination shall have
fully complied with this subparagraph.

            4.08 SPECIAL EARLY TERMINATION. Notwithstanding any provision in
this Agreement to the contrary, Manager may terminate this Agreement during the
first forty-five (45) days after the date of this Agreement but only in the
event that (a) any cause for termination arising from an Owner Default has
occurred under Section 4.02(b) prior to the expiration of that first forty-five
(45) days period, (b) notwithstanding written notice to Owner by Manager in the
form of a Default Notice, Manager has not cured the default identified by
Manager within the passage of twenty (20) days after the Owner's receipt of such
notice and (c) the default materially interferes with Manager's discharge of its
responsibilities hereunder. Nothing in this subparagraph shall require Manager
to comply with Section 4.04's notice provisions or Section 4.05's termination
provisions in availing itself of the Special Early Termination provisions of
this subparagraph.

         5. FINANCING. Manager shall use its best efforts to obtain sufficient
funding for the Business in the form of loans or equity in such manner that
Manager shall determine. In the event, after utilizing its best efforts in this
manner, Manager is unable to obtain sufficient financial commitments within the
first forty-five (45) day period then Manager may terminate this Agreement
pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.08 above, it being the intention of the
parties that it is the Owner or assets controlled by Owner that is to be
utilized to generate financing for the Business managed by Manager.

with the Business is set forth on DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE 6.08(a). Except as

proposed any condemnation or similar action or zoning action or proceeding with
respect to the Real Property or the operation thereof. The Real Property is in
compliance with all applicable zoning ordinances (including without


                                       12
<PAGE>

limitation parking requirements) (excepting only any noncompliance that would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the use
of the Real Property in the business by Manager or Owner), and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated herein will not result in a violation of any
applicable zoning ordinance or the termination of any applicable zoning variance
now existing. To Owner's knowledge, the Real Property and all buildings,
improvements, and fixtures thereon or therein, and all parts thereof and
appurtenances thereto, including, without limitation, the plumbing, electrical,
mechanical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, are in good
operating condition and in a reasonable state of maintenance and repair, normal

proceeding at law or in equity); (ii) to the best of Owner' knowledge, no
Default (as defined below) exists under any Material Contract either by Owner or
by any other party thereto; (iii) Owner is not aware of the assertion by any
third party of any claim of Default or breach under any of the Material
Contracts. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Default" means, with
respect to any Material Contract, (x) any breach of or default under such
Contract, (y) any event, other than the normal passage of time, which would
(either with or without notice or lapse of time or both) give rise to any right
of termination, cancellation or acceleration or any obligation to repay with
respect to such Contract, or (z) any event, other than the normal passage of
time, which would result in either a significant increase in the obligations or
liabilities of, or a loss of any significant benefit of, the party in question
under such Contract.

Intellectual Property which is owned by the Owner, licensed by Owner, licensed

Encumbrances) of all of the Intellectual Property, and Owner has not received

entity has any claim of legal or beneficial ownership with respect thereto.

                 (c) To the best of Owner's knowledge, the use of any of the
Intellectual Property will not conflict with, infringe upon, violate or
interfere with or constitute an appropriation of any right, title or interest
held by any other Person, and there have been no claims made with respect

respect on any part of the Intellectual Property.

                 (d) Owner has not conducted the Business, and has not used or
enforced (or failed to use or enforce) any Intellectual Property, in a manner

action that would result in the forfeiture or relinquishment of any Intellectual
Property used in the conduct of its business as now conducted.

liability, general liability, workers compensation, fidelity bonds, professional

payors and vendors are satisfactory, and Owner does not have knowledge of any
facts or circumstances which might materially alter, negate, impair or in any
way materially adversely affect the continuity of any such relationships. Owner
is not aware of any present intention on the part of any significant customer or
supplier or other business partner of Owner to either (i) terminate or
significantly change its existing business relationship with Owner either now or
in the foreseeable future, or (ii) fail to renew or extend its existing business
relationship with Owner at the end of the term of any existing contractual

(i) all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations, (ii) all
applicable federal, state or provincial and local laws, ordinances and

design, manufacture, sale and intended use.

                 (b) To the best of Owner's knowledge, the conduct of the
Business as presently conducted does not conflict with the rights of any other
Person, or violate, or with or without the giving of notice or the passage of
time, or both, will violate, conflict with or result in a default, right to
accelerate or loss of rights under, any terms or provisions of its articles of
incorporation or bylaws as presently in effect, or any encumbrance, lease,
license, Contract, understanding, or Law to which Owner is a party or by which
it may be bound or affected. Owner has not received notice or communication from
any Person asserting a failure to comply with any Laws, nor has Owner received
any notice that any authority or third party intends to seek enforcement against
Owner to compel compliance with any such Laws.

acting on its behalf or on behalf of the Business, has directly or indirectly
within the past three (3) years given or agreed to give any gift or similar
benefit to any customer, supplier, governmental employee or other Person who is
or may be in a position to help or hinder Owner (or assist Owner in connection
with any actual or proposed transaction) which (i) might subject Owner to any
damage or penalty in any civil, criminal or governmental litigation or
proceeding (ii) if not given in the past might have had an adverse effect on the
Assets, Business or operations of Owner, or (iii) if not continued in the
future, might adversely affect the Assets, the Business or the operations or
prospects of Manager.

            6.15 NO UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES OR OBLIGATIONS. Owner does not have

absolute or


                                       16
<PAGE>

contingent, accrued or unaccrued, liquidated or unliquidated, and due or to
become due (and there is no past or present fact, situation, circumstance,
condition or other basis for any present or future action, suit or proceeding,
hearing, charge, complaint, claim or demand against Owner giving rise to any
such liability or obligation).

            6.16 RECEIVABLES. All of the Receivables represent usual, customary
and reasonable charges for services actually rendered or equipment and supplies
sold and delivered, are valid and enforceable claims for services rendered
and/or goods supplied by the Business and are not subject to any defenses,
offsets, claims, or counterclaims of any kind. Owner does not know of any reason
why such Receivables (net of contractual discounts and any reserve for
uncollectible accounts in an amount to be agreed upon by the parties and NCFE)
will not be collected on a timely basis consistent with past experience. Owner
warrants that all of the Receivables will be collected by Manager or Owner. All
prescriptions, letters of medical necessity, patient agreements, purchase orders
and other documents necessary to collect the Receivables have been obtained by
Owner and have been submitted to third party payors and/or patients as necessary
for payment. Owner owns its Receivables free and clear of any claims, liens or
encumbrances. Owner has all of the provider numbers required for the collection
of the Receivables and the conduct of the Business. All such provider numbers

respect to matters relating to patient healthcare, including without limitation
Section 1128B(b) of the Social Security Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section
1320a7(b) (Criminal Penalties Involving Medicare, Medicaid or State Health Care
Programs) commonly referred to as the "Federal Anti-Kickback Statute," the
Social Security Act, as amended, Section 1877, 42 U.S.C. Section 1395nn
(Prohibition Against Certain Referrals), commonly referred to as "Stark
Statute," and the federal False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. Section 3729
(collectively, "Healthcare Laws"). Owner has maintained all records required to
be maintained by the Food and Drug Administration, Drug Enforcement Agency,
State Boards of Pharmacy, Social Security Administration, Health Care Financing
Administration, state healthcare agencies and the Medicare and Medicaid
programs, and, there are no presently existing facts or circumstances which
would result or likely would result in material violations of Healthcare Laws.

                 (c) No action is pending to suspend, limit, exclude, terminate
or revoke the status of Owner or any entity with an ownership interest in the
Business as a provider in any governmental program or under any contract with a
non-governmental payor or to require repayment by Owner or such other entity of
any amounts paid to Owner or such other entity under any such program or
contract, and neither Owner or such other entity has knowingly committed and or
is knowingly committing any act, practice, course of conduct or other activity

                                       17

termination, revocation or repayment to any payor. Owner or such other entity
has not been provided notice by any Fiscal Intermediary, any other federal or
state agency having jurisdiction over Owner or such entity or any such
third-party insurer or other payor of its intention to suspend, limit,
terminate, revoke or fail to renew any contractual arrangement with Owner or
such other entity as a participating provider of services in whole or in part.

Agreement has been negotiated at arm's length and between parties equally
sophisticated and knowledgeable in the matters dealt with in this Agreement, and
that each party has been advised by counsel of its choosing with respect hereto.
Accordingly, any rule of law or legal decision that would require interpretation

not applicable and is hereby waived. The terms of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in a reasonable manner in order to effect the intent of the parties
as set forth herein.

            10.08 SEVERABILITY. Except as expressly provided to the contrary
herein, each Article, Section, term and provision of this Agreement, and any
portion thereof, shall be considered severable and if for any reason any such
portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid, contrary to, or in conflict
with any applicable present or future law or regulation in a final, unappealable
ruling issued by any court, agency or tribunal with competent jurisdiction, that
ruling shall not impair the operation of, or have any other effect upon, such
other portions of this Agreement as may remain otherwise intelligible, which
shall continue to be given full force and effect and binding upon the parties
hereto, although any portion held to be invalid shall be deemed not to be part
of this Agreement.

            10.09 WAIVER OF OBLIGATIONS. Neither party shall be deemed to have

(including, without limitation, its right to demand exact compliance with every

the parties at variance with the terms hereof; (ii) any failure by


                                       21

such party to demand strict compliance with this Agreement; or (iii) any waiver,
forbearance, delay, failure or omission to exercise any right, power or option.
No failure, refusal or neglect to exercise any right under this Agreement or to
insist upon full compliance by the other parties hereto with their obligations
hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any provision of this Agreement.

            10.10 COUNTERPARTS AND EXECUTION. This Agreement may be executed in
multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original Agreement for
all purposes, and all of which when taken together shall constitute one

parties are not signatories to the original or the same counterpart. Executed
signature pages to any counterpart instrument may be detached and affixed to a
single counterpart, with such single counterpart with multiple executed
signature pages affixed thereto constituting the original counterpart
instrument. All of those counterpart pages shall be read as though one, and they
shall have the same force and effect as if all the signers had executed a single
signature page.

            10.11 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights and remedies
provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy
by any party shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or all other
remedies. Such rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the
parties may have by law, statute, ordinance, or otherwise.
