                     SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASE

     This Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release ("Agreement"), is entered into
as of July __, 2002, between Trebor O. Corp. ("Trebor") and Robert Okum ("Okum")
(collectively "Plaintiffs"), on the one hand, and e-MedSoft.com, now known as
Med Diversified, Inc. ("Med"), PrimeRX, Inc. ("Prime"), John F. Andrews, sued
herein as "Jonathon Andrews" ("Andrews"), David Rombro ("Rombro"), Frank
Magliochetti ("Magliochetti"), and Chartwell Diversified Services, Inc.
("Chartwell") (collectively "Defendants"), on the other hand, with reference to
the following facts:

                                    RECITALS

     A.    On or about June 29, 2001, Plaintiffs filed Los Angeles County
Superior Court action No. BC253387, styled TREBOR O. CORP., ET AL. V.
E-MEDSOFT.COM, ET AL., seeking, by way of a First Amended Compliant filed on or
about October 1, 2001 (collectively the "Compliant"), declaratory relief and
damages for alleged breach of contract, promissory estoppel, fraud, negligent
misrepresentation, tortious interference with contract and prospective economic
advantage, and breach of confidentiality agreement. (The "Action")

     B.    Defendants deny each of the allegations in the Complaint and continue
to do so.

     C.    The parties now desire to settle the claims raised by Plaintiffs in
the Action, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

     1.    Med shall pay Plaintiffs a total of $75,000, payable $25,000 on
execution of this Agreement by Plaintiffs (whether or not all Defendants have so
signed) and $50,000 in five equal installments of $10,000 per week, commencing
seven days from the date of payment of the initial $25,000.

     2.    Upon execution of this Agreement, Plaintiffs shall cause a Notice of
Settlement to be filed in the Action with the Court pursuant to California Rules
of Court, Rule 225.

     3.    Upon payment of the final installment, Plaintiffs shall cause a
Request for Dismissal with Prejudice as to the entire action to be filed with
the Court in the Action. Each party shall bear its or his own costs and legal
fees incurred in connection with the Action.

     4.    Except with respect to the obligations created by this Agreement,
Plaintiffs, on the one hand, and Defendants, on the other hand, mutually release
each other and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, successors,
heirs, assigns,

                                        1
<Page>

representatives, and attorneys, past, present or future, from any and all
claims, demands, actions, causes of action, obligations and/or debts, known or
unknown, for all injuries and damages arising out of, or in any way connected
with, or related to, or due to the filing and/or prosecution of the Action and
any and all claims which were or could have been raised in the Action.
(Collectively, the "Released Claims".)

     5.    This is a full and final release applying to all unknown and
unanticipated injuries or damages arising out of the Released Claims, as well as
those now known or disclosed, and the parties waive all rights or benefits which
they may now have or in the future may have, arising out of or related to the
Released Claims, under the terms of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State
of California which reads:

           "A general release does not extend to claims which
           the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in
           his favor at the time of executing the release,
           which if known by him must have materially
           affected his settlement with the debtor."

     The parties understand that they must have sustained serious injuries or
consequential damages, arising out of or related to the Released Claims, which
have not manifested themselves and which are presently unknown, but nevertheless
the parties deliberately intend to and do hereby release these possible future
claims.

     6.    Liability for the subject matter of the Action and the Released Claim
is disputed and this Agreement shall not be construed as an admission thereof.

     7.    The parties admit, acknowledge and declare that they have had the
advice or the opportunity to receive the advice of counsel of their own choosing
in connection with the form and content of this Agreement and advisability of
entering into same.

     8.    The parties warrant and represent to each other that they have not
previously assigned, whether involuntarily, or by operation of law, any Released
Claims, or any part of them, to any third party, including any governmental
entity. Each of the parties shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each other
with respect to any action or claim brought by any third party purporting to be
a transferee or assignee of any of the claims released pursuant to this
Agreement.

     9.    It is understood and agreed to by the parties that the agreements,
undertakings, warranties, acts, representations and other things done or to be
done by them or their attorneys by virtue of this Agreement shall run to and be
binding upon all shareholders, principals, heirs, beneficiaries, executors,
successors, predecessors, administrators, trustees, agents, assigns, attorneys,
employees, independent contractors, lenders and representatives of the parties.

     10.   This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties
hereto. This Agreement is executed without reliance upon any representation by
any person concerning the nature or extent of injuries or legal liability
therefore, and the parties have

                                        2
<Page>

carefully read and understood the comments of this Agreement and sign their
name, as their own free act.

     11.   This Agreement may be ? in several ? parts and all so executed shall
continue and agreement which shall be binding on all of the parties hereto.

     12.   This Agreement shall be governed by California Law.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned have approved and executed this
Agreement effective as of the date set forth above.

                              SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

                                       and

                             GENERAL MUTUAL RELEASES

     This SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT and GENERAL MUTUAL RELEASES (the "Settlement
Agreement") is made as of the date of last execution below by and between MED
DIVERSIFIED, INC. (fka e-MedSoft.com) ("Med"), and HOSKIN INTERNATIONAL, LTD.
("Hoskin") (collectively, the "Parties").

     1.    RECITALS. This Settlement Agreement is made with reference to the
following facts:

           1.1   MED'S CLAIMS. On or about October 29, 2001, Med initiated
Commercial Arbitration No. 50-T-168-00515-01 (the "Arbitration") before the
International Centre for Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration
Association. In its demand for arbitration (the "Claim"), Med alleged, among
other things, that Hoskin had fraudulently induced Med to enter into a February
20, 2001 Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") and a related warrant
(the "Warrant") through misstatements of material fact and failure to disclose
facts that Hoskin had a duty to disclose. The allegations in the Claim are
hereinafter referred to as "Med's Claims." Hoskin denies Med's claims.

           1.2   HOSKIN'S CLAIMS. On or about December 28, 2001, Hoskin filed a
counterclaim (the "Counterclaim") in the Arbitration, in which it contended that
Med was liable to Hoskin for failing to timely register the Warrant and for
other alleged breaches of the Agreement and Warrant. (Hoskin's claims are
hereinafter referred to as "Hoskin's Claims.") Med denies Hoskin's claims.
(Med's Claims and Hoskin's Claims are hereinafter referred to as the "Claims.")

           1.3   REASONS FOR SETTLEMENT. In order to avoid the expense and
inconvenience of further litigation, the Parties have agreed to compromise their
respective claims and defenses. This Settlement Agreement is a compromise of
disputed claims, and nothing contained herein is to be construed as an admission
of fact or of liability on the part of any Part or of the absence of liability
by any Party with respect to the Claims.

     NOW THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

     2.    INCORPORATION OF RECITALS. The recitals above are incorporated by
reference and hereby made a part of the Parties' agreement.

     3.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

           3.1   Each Party hereby represents and warrants to each other Party
that it is the owner, free and clear, of each of the rights to prosecute and/or
to compromise and settle all of the claims released by that Party in this
Settlement Agreement; and

           3.2   Each Party hereby represents and warrants to each other party
that it has not transferred, hypothecated, assigned, or suffered the involuntary
loss of any of the rights to

                                        1
<Page>

prosecute or to compromise and settle any of the claims released by that Party
in this Settlement Agreement.

     4.    MED'S PAYMENT TO HOSKIN. Following the full execution of this
Settlement Agreement, Med shall pay Hoskin the total amount $75,000 (the
"Settlement Payment"). Med shall satisfy this obligation by paying Hoskin
$25,000 on or before November 15, 2002, November 30, 2002 and December 31, 2002.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Med shall not be in "default" under this
Paragraph unless it fails to pay any amount due within ten calendar days of
receiving written notice from Hoskin of Med's failure to make a required
payment.

     5.    STAY AND DISMISSAL OF THE ARBITRATION. Immediately upon the full
execution of this Settlement Agreement, Hoskin will cooperate with Med to cause
the Arbitration to be stayed pending Med's performance of its obligations under
this Settlement Agreement. The Stay shall be lifted if Med defaults by failing
to make a timely installment payment of the Settlement Payment. Immediately upon
Med's performance of its final obligation under this Settlement Agreement,
Hoskin will cooperate with Med and execute all documents necessary to cause the
Arbitration to be dismissed with prejudice.

     6.    GENERAL MUTUAL RELEASES. Upon Med's payment to Hoskin of the entire
Settlement Payment, except for those executory rights created by and described
in this Settlement Agreement, Med, on the one hand, and Hoskin, on the other
hand, hereby, for themselves and for their attorneys, agents, employees,
officers, directors, representatives, partners, joint ventures, spouses,
children, heirs, executors, parents, subsidiaries, investment advisors
(including anyone associated with their investment advisors), related entities,
predecessors, successors, assigns and insurers, release and forever discharge
each other and the other's present, past, and future attorneys, agents,
employees, officers, directors, representatives, partners, joint ventures,
spouses, children, heirs, executors, parents, subsidiaries, investment advisors
(including anyone associated with their investment advisors), related entities,
predecessors, successors, assigns and insurers, from any and all claims, claims
for relief, demands, debts, liabilities, accounts, obligations, costs, expenses,
liens, actions, causes of action (at law, in equity, or otherwise), rights,
rights of action, rights of indemnity (legal or equitable), rights of
subrogation, rights to contribution, and remedies of any nature whatsoever,
known or unknown (whether presently existing or accruing hereafter), including,
but not limited to those claims and causes of action based upon, related to,
arising out of, or resulting from the Claims. If Med falls timely to pay Hoskin
the entire Settlement Payment, there shall be no releases and any partial
payments by Med shall be a credit (or debit) against any subsequent recovery,
either voluntary or by judgment or award.

     7.    UNKNOWN AND FUTURE CLAIMS; WAIVER OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE
SECTION 1542. Subject to the provisions in Paragraph 6, the Parties hereto also
waive expressly each and all of the provisions of California Civil Code Section
1542, which reads as follows:

           SECTION 1542. CERTAIN CLAIMS NOT AFFECTED BY
           GENERAL RELEASE. A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT
           EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW
           OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF
           EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN

                                        2
<Page>

           BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS
           SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

The Parties understand and acknowledge the significance and consequences of this
Settlement Agreement and of their specific waiver of Section 1542, and expressly
agree that this Settlement Agreement shall be given full force and effect
according to each and all of its terms and provisions, including those relating
to unknown and unsuspected claims, demands, obligations and causes of action, if
any, as well as those relating to any other claims, demands, obligations or
causes of action herein specified. Med acknowledge that they and their attorneys
may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those which they
now know or believe to be true with respect to the claims, demands, debts,
liabilities, accounts, obligations, and causes of action of every kind released
herein. Med agree that the releases given herein shall be and remain in effect
as a full and complete release of the persons and entities released thereby,
notwithstanding any such different or additional facts.

     8.    MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

and Hoskin with respect to the subject matters of the Claims and this Settlement
Agreement. This Settlement Agreement supersedes every representation, warranty,
or agreement relating to any matter covered by this Settlement Agreement between

to herein, whether written or oral, shall be void and will not bind any of the
Parties hereto.

Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors,
assigns and personal representatives of Med and Hoskin.

           8.5   CHOICE OF LAW AND FORUM. This Settlement Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts executed
in and to be performed entirely within that state. The Parties agree that any
action or proceeding initiated by either Party arising directly or indirectly
out of this Settlement Agreement shall be litigated in a federal or state court
located in Los Angeles, California. The Parties waive any claim that a federal
or state court located in Los Angeles, California is an inconvenient or improper
forum. The parties also agree that should either party default in its
obligations under this Settlement Agreement or a

<Page>

interruption or stay, even if an action is commenced regarding a default or
dispute arising out of this Settlement Agreement.

           8.6   ATTORNEYS' FEES. Should any Party hereto institute any action
or proceeding to enforce any term or provision hereof, or for damages by reason

such Party's rights or obligations hereunder, or for any other judicial remedy,
whether legal or equitable, the prevailing Party in such action or proceeding
shall recover from the losing Party all attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses
actually paid by the prevailing Party to its attorneys for the services rendered

of a negotiation between Med and Hoskin, and is not the product of any one
Party. There shall be no presumption in the interpretation hereof that any
ambiguity is to be resolved against any Party hereto.

shall be deemed for any reason to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such
provision shall be severed from the remainder of this Settlement Agreement, and
