and its affiliates to purchase shares of the Company's common stock and to
provide incentives for them to put forth maximum efforts for the success of the
Company's business.  The Plan is intended to permit certain designated stock
options granted under the Plan to qualify as incentive stock options under

     4.   Administration of the Plan.
          --------------------------

          4.1  Board.  This Plan shall be administered by the Board, which may,
               -----
from time to time, issue orders or adopt resolutions, not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Plan, to interpret the provisions and supervise the
administration of the Plan. All determinations shall be by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the members of the Board at a meeting, or reduced to writing
and signed by all of the members of the Board.  Subject to the Company's Bylaws,
all decisions made by the Board in selecting Optionees, establishing the number
of shares and terms applicable to each Option, and in construing the provisions
of this Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including
the Company, Shareholders, Optionees, and purchasers of shares pursuant to this
Plan.  No member of the Board shall be liable for any action or determination
made in good faith with respect to the Plan or an Option granted hereunder.

          4.2  Stock Option Plan Committee.  The Board from time to time, may,
               ---------------------------
appoint a Stock Option Plan Committee consisting of not less than two (2)
directors (the "Committee").  The Board may delegate to such Committee full
power and authority to take any action required or permitted to be taken by the
Board under this Plan, subject to restrictions on affiliate participation under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, pertaining, among other things, to Section
16(b).  All determinations shall be by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
members of the Committee at a meeting, or reduced to writing and signed by all
members of the Committee.  The Board, from time to time, may, in its sole
discretion, remove members from or add members to the Committee.  Vacancies may
be filled by the Board only.  Where the context requires, the Board shall mean
the Committee, if appointed, for matters dealing with administration of the
Plan.

          4.3  Compliance with Internal Revenue Code.  The Board shall at all
               -------------------------------------
times administer this Plan and make interpretations hereunder in such a manner
that Options granted hereunder designated as Incentive Stock Options will meet
the requirements of Section 422A of the Code.

     5.   Selection of Optionees.
          ----------------------

          5.1  Discretion of the Board.  In determining which Persons shall be
               -----------------------
offered Options as well as the terms thereof, the Board shall evaluate, among
other things, (i) the duties and responsibilities of Eligible Employees, (ii)
their past and prospective contributions to the success of the Company, (iii)
the extent to which they are performing and will continue to perform outstanding
services for the benefit of the Company, and (iv) such other factors as the
Board deems relevant.  All grants must be approved by a disinterested majority
of the Board (or Committee, if appointed).

          5.2  Limitation on Grant of Incentive Stock Options.  An Incentive
               ----------------------------------------------
Stock Option may not be granted to any Optionee if the grant of such Option to
such Optionee would otherwise cause the aggregate fair market value (determined
at the time the Option is granted) of the Stock for which Options are
exercisable for the first time by such Optionee under all incentive stock option
plans of the Company during any calendar year to exceed $100,000.  Any options
granted in excess of this limitation shall be Nonqualified Stock Options.  The
grant of Nonqualified Stock Options is not subject to limitations and may be
granted at the sole discretion of the Board.

     6.   Option Grant Agreement.  Subject to the provisions of this Plan, each
          ----------------------
Option granted to an Optionee shall be set forth in an Option Grant upon such
terms and conditions as the Board determines, including a vesting schedule, if
desired.  Each such Option Grant shall incorporate the provisions of this Plan
by reference.  The date of the grant of an Option is the date specified in the
Option Grant.  Any Option Grant shall clearly identify such Options as Incentive
Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options.

     7.   Option Prices.
          -------------

          7.1  Determination of Option Price.  The option price for Stock shall
               -----------------------------
not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the
Stock on the date of the grant of such Option.  The price for Stock under an
Incentive Stock Option granted to an Eligible Employee who possesses more than
ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of common
stock of the Company

                                PainCare, Inc.
                            2001 Stock Option Plan
                                    Page 3
<PAGE>

shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value
of the Stock on the date of the grant of such Option.

          7.2  Determination of Stock Ownership.  For purposes of Articles 7 and
               --------------------------------
8, an Optionee's Stock ownership shall be determined by taking into account the
rules of constructive ownership set forth in Section 424(d) of the Code.

     8.   Term of Option.  The term of an Option may vary within the sole
          --------------
discretion of the Board; however, the term of an Incentive Stock Option granted
to an Eligible Employee shall not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant
of such Incentive Stock Option; provided, however, that the term shall not
exceed five (5) years for any Optionee who possesses more than ten percent (10%)
of the total, combined voting power of all classes of Common Stock of the
Company.  An Incentive Stock Option may be canceled only in connection with the
termination of employment or death of the Optionee (as more particularly
described in Article 9 hereof) or any unauthorized, attempted transfer or
assignment of the Option (as more particularly described in Article 10 hereof).
A Nonqualified Stock Option may be canceled only in connection with the
termination of employment or death of an Optionee, the removal for cause of an
Optionee who is a director, the breach or early termination by any consultant of
its consulting agreement with the Company, or any unauthorized, attempted
transfer or assignment of the Option.

     9.   Exercise of Option.
          ------------------

          9.1  Limitation on Exercise of Option.  Except as otherwise provided
               --------------------------------
herein, the Board, in its sole discretion, may limit an Option by restricting
its exercise, in whole or in part, to specified vesting periods or until
specified conditions have occurred.  The vesting periods and any restrictions
will be set forth in the Option Grant.

          9.2  Exercise Prior to Cancellation.  An Option shall be exercisable
               ------------------------------
only during the term of the Option.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, as
long as the Option's term has not expired or terminated early, an Option which
is otherwise exercisable in accordance with its provisions shall be exercisable:

               (a)  for a period ending ninety (90) days after the termination
of the Optionee's Continuous Employment with the Company, unless the Optionee
was terminated for Cause by the Company, in which case the Option will terminate
on the effective date of termination of employment; or

               (b)  for a period ending one hundred eighty (180) days after the
removal for Cause of the Optionee from the Board or from the board of directors
of any Subsidiary on which such Optionee has served; or

               (c)  by the estate of the Optionee, within one (1) year after the
date of the Optionee's death; or

               (d)  within six (6) months after the Optionee's employment with
the Company terminates if the Optionee becomes disabled during Continuous
Employment with the Company and such disability is the reason for termination.

          9.3  Method of Exercising an Option.  Subject to the provisions of any
               ------------------------------
particular Option Grant, including any provisions relating to vesting of an
Option, an Optionee who desires to exercise an Option, in whole or in part, must
first provide written notice to the Company stating in such written notice the
number of shares of Stock such Optionee elects to purchase, and the time of the
delivery thereof, which time shall be at least fifteen (15) days after the
giving of such notice, unless an earlier date shall have been agreed upon by the
Board.  Upon receipt of such written notice, the Company shall provide the
Optionee with that information required by applicable state and federal
securities laws.  If, after receipt of such information, the Optionee desires to
withdraw such notice of exercise, then the Optionee may withdraw such notice of
exercise by notifying the Company, in writing, prior to the time set forth for
delivery of the shares of Stock.  The date of exercise shall be the date a
proper notice of exercise is received by the designated Company authority.  An
Optionee is under no obligation to exercise an Option or any part thereof.

                                PainCare, Inc.

                                    Page 4
<PAGE>

          9.4  Payment for Stock.  The exercise of any Option shall be
               -----------------
contingent upon prior or simultaneous receipt by the Company of cash or a
certified bank check to its order, transferable or redeemable shares of the
Company's Stock, or any combination of the foregoing in an amount equal to the
full option price of the shares of Stock being purchased.  For purposes of this
Section 9.4, shares of the Company's Stock that are delivered in payment of the
option price shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as determined under the
provisions of this Plan.  In the alternative, the Board may, but is not required
to, accept a promissory note, secured or unsecured, or other consideration in
the amount of the option price made by the Optionee and on terms and conditions
satisfactory to the Board.

          9.5  Cashless Exercise.  Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
               -----------------
contrary, if the fair market value of one share of Stock is greater than the
full option exercise price of such share of Stock (at the date of calculation as
set forth below), in lieu of exercising any Option for cash, the Optionee may
elect to receive Stock equal to the value (as determined below) of the Option
(or the portion thereof being exercised) by delivering to the designated Company
authority of the properly completed and endorsed Notice of Exercise of Option,
in which event the Company shall issue to the Optionee a number of shares of
Stock computed using the following formula:

          X= Y (A-B)
             -------
                A

     Where      X =  the number of shares of Stock to be issued to the Optionee

                Y =  the number of shares of Stock purchasable under the Option
                     or, if only a portion of the Option is being exercised,
                     then the portion of the Option being exercised (at the date
                     of such calculation)

                A =  the fair market value of one share of the Company's Stock
                     (at the date of such calculation)

                B =  the full Option price of one share of Stock being purchased
                     (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

          9.6   Delivery of Stock to Optionee.  Provided the Optionee has
                -----------------------------
delivered proper notice of exercise and full payment of the purchase price, the
Company shall undertake and follow all necessary procedures to make prompt
delivery of the number of shares of Stock which the Optionee elects to purchase
at the time specified in such notice.  Such delivery, however, may be postponed,
without postponing the actual date of exercise, at the sole discretion of the
Company to enable the Company to comply with any applicable procedures,
regulations, or listing requirements of any governmental agency, stock exchange,
or regulatory authority.  As a condition to the issuance of shares of Stock, the
Company may require such additional payments from the Optionee as may be
required to allow the Company to withhold any income taxes which the Company
deems necessary to insure the Company that it can comply with any federal or
state income tax withholding requirements.

     10.  Nontransferability of Options.
          -----------------------------

          10.1  General.  Except as otherwise provided in section 9.2(c) above,
                -------
an Option granted to an Optionee may be exercised only during such Optionee's
lifetime by such Optionee.  An Option may not be sold, exchanged, assigned,
pledged, gifted, encumbered, hypothecated or otherwise transferred except by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  No Option or any right
thereunder shall be subject to transfer by operation of law, execution,
attachment, or similar process by any creditors of or claimants against the
Optionee.  Upon any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, exchange, pledge,
gift, hypothecation or other encumbrance of any Option contrary to the
provisions hereof, such Option and all rights thereunder shall immediately
terminate and shall be null and void with respect to the transferee or assignee.

          10.2  Incentive Stock Options.  With respect to Incentive Stock
                -----------------------
Options, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Plan, no
disposition or transfer of any Stock purchased under an Incentive Stock Option
may be made by the Optionee within two (2) years from the

date the Option was granted nor within one (1) year after the date the shares
were transferred to the Optionee. Any Optionee who makes a transfer of Stock in
violation of this Section 10.2 shall promptly provide the Company written notice
of such transfer. Such transfer shall be deemed to disqualify the Option from
treatment as an Incentive Stock Option and shall cause the Option to be treated
as a Nonqualified Stock Option.

     11.  Tax Effects of Plan Participation.  Incentive Stock Options granted
          ---------------------------------
under the Plan shall satisfy the requirements of Section 422A of the Code.  The
Optionee recognizes no taxable income at the time of the Option grant, and,
generally, no taxable income is recognized at the time that the Option is
exercised.  The Optionee will, however, recognize taxable income (generally in
the form of capital gain) in the year in which the purchased shares are sold or
otherwise made subject to disposition.  For federal tax purposes, dispositions
are divided into two categories:

          (i)   The Optionee will make a qualifying disposition of the purchased
shares if the sale or other disposition of such shares is made after the
Optionee has held the shares for more than two (2) years after the grant date of
the Option and more than one (1) year after the exercise date.  If the Optionee
fails to satisfy either of these two holding periods prior to the sale or other
disposition of the purchased shares, then a disqualifying disposition will
result.  Upon a qualifying disposition of the shares, the Optionee will
recognize long-term capital gains in an amount equal to the excess of (a) the
amount realized upon the sale or other disposition of the purchased shares over
(b) the exercise price paid for such shares.

          (ii)  If there is a disqualifying disposition of the shares, or if the
option is granted as a Nonqualified Stock Option, then the excess of (a) the
fair market value of those shares on the date the Option was exercised over (b)
the exercise price paid for the shares will be taxable as ordinary income.  Any
additional gain recognized upon the disposition will be a capital gain.  If the
Optionee makes a disqualifying disposition of the purchased shares, then the
Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction for the taxable year in
which such disposition occurs in an amount equal to the excess of (a) the fair
market value of such shares on the date the Option was exercised over (b) the
exercise price paid for the shares.

     12.  Compliance with Securities Laws.
          -------------------------------

          12.1  Restrictions on Transfer of Shares.  Subject to the Company's
                ----------------------------------
repurchase rights and rights of first refusal, as more particularly set forth in
Articles 15 and 16 below, the shares of Stock acquired by an Optionee pursuant
to the exercise of an Option hereunder shall be freely transferable; provided,
however, that such shares of Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged or
hypothecated unless (i) a registration statement covering the securities is
effective under the Act and appropriate state securities laws, or (ii) an
opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such sale, transfer,
pledge or hypothecation may legally be made without registration of such shares
under federal or state securities laws has been received by the Company.

          12.2  Optionee's Written Statement. The Board, in its sole discretion,
                ----------------------------
may require that, at the time an Optionee elects to exercise his option, the
Optionee shall furnish a written statement to the Company that he is acquiring
such shares of Stock for investment purposes only and that he has no intention
of reselling or otherwise disposing of such Stock, along with a written
acknowledgment that the Option and the shares of Stock pertaining to the Option
are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), the
Florida or Nevada securities laws, or any other state securities laws.  In the
event that shares of Stock subject to the Option are registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, an Optionee shall no longer be required to
comply with this Section 12.2.

          12.3  Registration Requirements.  If, at any time, the Board, in its
                -------------------------
sole discretion, determines that the listing, registration, or qualification of
the shares of Stock subject to an Option on any securities exchange or under any
state or federal securities laws, or the consent or approval of any governmental
regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection
with, the issuance or purchase of shares thereunder, then the Option may not be
exercised, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration,
qualification, consent, or approval shall have been effected or obtained (and
the same shall have been free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board).

<PAGE>

          12.4 Restrictive Legend.  In order to enforce the restrictions imposed
               ------------------
upon shares of Stock under this Plan, the Company shall make appropriate
notation in its stock records or, if applicable, shall issue an appropriate stop
transfer instruction to the Company's stock transfer agent.  In addition, the
Company may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any certificates
representing shares of Stock issued pursuant to this Plan, which legend or
legends shall make appropriate reference to such restrictions in substantially
the following form:

     These shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
     amended (the "Act"), the Florida Securities and Investor Protection Act, or
     any other state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be sold unless they
     are subsequently registered under the Act and any applicable state
     securities laws or an exemption from registration is available.

     The shares of Common Stock evidenced by this certificate have been issued
     under the PainCare, Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and are
     subject to the terms and provisions of such Plan.

     These shares are subject to a repurchase agreement and right of first
     refusal as set forth in the Plan and the Stock Option Grant by and between
     the shareholder and PainCare, Inc. and any sale, transfer, gift, pledge,
     hypothecation or encumbrance of these shares is subject to this repurchase
     agreement and right of first refusal.

     13.  Changes in Capital Structure of Company. In the event of a capital
          ---------------------------------------
adjustment resulting from a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split,
reclassification, or recapitalization, or by reason of a merger, consolidation,
or other reorganization in which the Company is the surviving entity, the Board
shall make such adjustment, if any, as it may deem appropriate in the number and
kind of shares authorized by this Plan, or in the number, option price and kind
of shares covered by the Options granted.  The Company shall give notice of any
adjustment to each Optionee, and such adjustment shall be deemed conclusive.
The foregoing adjustments and the manner of application of the foregoing
provisions shall be determined solely by the Board, and any such adjustment may
provide for the elimination of fractional shares.

     14.  Reorganization, Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the
          ------------------------------------------
dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any merger or combination involving
the Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a transfer by
the Company of substantially all of its assets or property to another
corporation, or in the event any other corporation acquires control of the
Company in a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code,
all outstanding Options shall thereupon terminate unless such Options are
assumed or substitutes therefor are issued (within the meaning of Section 425(a)
of the Code) by the surviving or acquiring corporation in any such merger,
combination or other reorganization.  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the
Company shall give at least fifteen (15) days written notice of such transaction
to holders of unexercised Options prior to the effective date of such merger,
combination, reorganization, dissolution or liquidation.  The Board, in its sole
discretion, may, but is not obligated or required to, elect to accelerate the
vesting schedules of any of the Options previously issued upon such notice, and
the holders thereof may, in such event, exercise such Options prior to such
effective date, notwithstanding any time limitation previously placed on the
exercise of such Options.  The Board also shall have the authority to condition
any such Option acceleration upon the subsequent termination of the Optionee's
employment within a specified period following the change in control.  The
acceleration of Options in the event of such an acquisition of the Company or
other change in control may be seen as an anti-takeover provision and may have
the effect of discouraging a merger proposal, a take-over attempt, or other
effort to gain control of the Company.

     15.  Option to Repurchase.
          --------------------

          15.1 Company's Option. Stock purchased pursuant to this Plan shall be
               ----------------
subject to an option to repurchase by the Company only (i) in the event of the
Optionee's termination of employment for any reason, whether voluntary or
involuntary (except in the event of a sale or liquidation of the Company in an
acquisition), and including the event of the Optionee's death or termination due
to disability, or (ii) in the event of the removal for Cause of the Optionee
from the Board or from the board of directors of any Subsidiary or a successor
of any of them (each a "Terminating Event").  The Company must elect to exercise
the option to repurchase for a period within ninety (90) days after the
Terminating Event (the

                                PainCare, Inc.
                            2001 Stock Option Plan
                                    Page 7
<PAGE>

exercise period as determined above is referred to as the "Exercise Period").
The Company's repurchase rights under this Section 15.1 shall apply to any Stock
acquired by the Optionee upon exercise of an Option granted under the Plan,
including any Stock acquired after termination of employment and any Stock or
other securities acquired by the Optionee pursuant to any capital adjustment
affecting the Stock acquired under this Plan. As used in this Article 15,
"Optionee" shall include the executor or administrator of the estate of the
Optionee or the person to whom the Stock shall pass by will or the laws of
descent and distribution.

          15.2 Procedure for Exercise.  In order to exercise the option set
               ----------------------
forth in Section 15.1, the Company must notify the Optionee of its intent to
exercise its option by mailing a notice to the Optionee or the representative of
the Optionee's estate at the last address contained in the Company's records for
such Optionee.  Such notice shall state that the Company intends to exercise its
option and shall state the purchase price per share which will be paid by the
Company and the date on which such option will be exercised, which date will not
be earlier than ten (10) days following the date of mailing said notice nor
later than six (6) months following the end of the Exercise Period (the
"Termination Date").  Such purchase price shall be the greater of (i) the fair
                                                       -------
market value of the Stock as of the Termination Date and (ii) the original
exercise price per share paid by the Optionee.  The purchase price shall be
evidenced by a promissory note, bearing simple interest at the applicable
federal rate determined under Section 1274(d) of the Code, which note may be
paid in full at any time without penalty.  Payments on the note shall be made in
three (3) equal annual installments of principal and interest commencing one (1)
year after the Termination Date.

          15.3 Delivery of Stock Certificates.  Upon receipt of any notice
               ------------------------------
pursuant to Section 15.2 hereof from the Company, the Optionee shall deliver the
certificate(s) representing such shares of Stock to the Company within ten (10)
days from the date of such notice, along with a properly executed stock power
(with signature "medallion" guaranteed) authorizing transfer of these shares to
the Company, its successor or assignee.

     16.  Right of First Refusal.
          ----------------------

          16.1 Right of First Refusal for Offers.  Until Stock held by an
               ---------------------------------
Optionee becomes eligible for sale on the NYSE, NASDAQ stock market, or other
stock exchange, the Company will have the irrevocable right, privilege, and
option to purchase any Stock purchased by the Optionee pursuant to an Option at
any time when the Optionee receives a bona fide, written offer ("Offer") to
purchase part or all of such Stock by any other Person ("Offeror"), which offer
is acceptable to Optionee, at the same price and upon the same terms as such
Offeror offers for the Stock or at fair market value of the Stock, whichever
price is lower.  As used in this Article 16, "Optionee" shall include the
executor or administrator of the estate of the Optionee or the person to whom
the Stock shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

          16.2 Procedure for Exercise.  The Optionee, upon receipt of an Offer,
               ----------------------
will notify the Board of such Offer and provide the Company with a copy of the
Offer signed by the Offeror, and the Company will then be allowed thirty (30)
days from the date the Company receives such notice, not counting the day of
receiving the same, within which to notify the Optionee of the Company's
intention to exercise this option.  The Company shall enter into an agreement in
writing with the Optionee within fifteen (15) days after giving notice to the
Optionee to effectuate the purchase.  Payment shall be deemed to have been made
by the Company, its successor or assignee, upon the deposit of a check for the
full purchase price in the U.S. Mail, addressed to the Optionee at the
Optionee's last known address.  No Optionee may sell Stock to any other party
until he has conformed to the requirements of this Article 16 and the Company
has failed or refused to exercise its option.

          16.3 Delivery of Stock Certificates.  Upon Optionee's receipt of any
               ------------------------------
notice of intent to exercise from the Company pursuant to Section 16.2 hereof,
the Optionee shall deliver the certificate(s) representing such shares of Stock
to the Company within ten (10) days from the date of such notice, along with a
properly executed and guaranteed stock power authorizing the Company to transfer
such shares to the Company, its successor or assignee.

          16.4 Company's Option in Event of Involuntary Transfer.  Until Stock
               -------------------------------------------------
held by an Optionee becomes eligible for sale on the NYSE, NASDAQ stock market,
or other stock exchange, if any

                                PainCare, Inc.
                            2001 Stock Option Plan
                                    Page 8
<PAGE>

of the Optionee's Stock should become subject to an involuntary transfer, by
operation of law or otherwise, including, without limitation, divorce decree,
the event of Optionee's bankruptcy, levy or attachment, or the default of a bona
fide loan made to Optionee for which the Stock was pledged as collateral which
would otherwise be null and void pursuant to Section 10.1 above, then the
Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire any or all of
the Stock subject to such attempted involuntary transfer. The Company shall have
thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the Optionee of the involuntary
transfer of the Company's intent to exercise its option to acquire any or all of
such Stock subject to the claim of involuntary transfer and shall specify the
number of shares of Stock to be acquired. If the Company exercises its option
under this Section 16.4, then the purchase price to be paid by the Company for
all of the Stock purchased by it upon exercise of the option shall be equal to
the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the Stock on the purchase date or
    ------
(ii) the original Option exercise price paid by Optionee. The price shall be
paid in full by cash or Company check on the purchase date.

     17.  Escrow.  In order to enforce the restrictions imposed upon shares of
          ------
Stock under this Plan, the Board may require an Optionee to enter into an Escrow
Agreement with an escrow agent designated by the Company providing for the
certificate(s) representing shares of Stock issued pursuant to this Plan to
remain in the physical custody of the escrow agent until any or all of such
restrictions have terminated.

     18.  Application of Funds.  All proceeds received by the Company from the
          --------------------
exercise of Options shall be paid into its treasury and shall be used for
general corporate purposes.

     19.  Optionee's Rights as a Holder of Shares.
          ---------------------------------------

          19.1 Prior to Exercise.  No Optionee or his legal representatives,
               -----------------
legatees or distributees, as the case may be, will be, or will be deemed to be,
a holder of any share of Stock subject to an Option unless and until stock
certificates representing such shares of Stock are issued to such person or
persons pursuant to the terms of this Plan.  Except as otherwise provided in
Article 13 of this Plan, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other
rights for which the record date occurs prior to the date such stock certificate
is issued.

          19.2 Dividends After Exercise.  Purchasers of Stock pursuant to this
               ------------------------
Plan will be entitled, after issuance of their stock certificates, to any
dividends that may be declared and paid on the shares of Stock registered in
their names.  A stock certificate representing dividends declared and paid in
shares of Stock shall be issued and delivered to the purchaser after such shares
have been registered in the purchaser's name.  Such stock certificate shall bear
the legends set forth above and shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan,
the Option Grant, and any escrow arrangement.

          19.3 Voting Rights.  Purchasers of shares of the Stock shall be
               -------------
entitled to receive all notices of meetings and exercise all voting rights of a
Shareholder with respect to the shares of Stock purchased.

     20.  Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
          -------------------------------------

          20.1 Discretion of the Board.  The Board may amend or terminate this
               -----------------------
Plan at any time; provided, however, that (i) any such amendment or termination
shall not adversely affect the rights of Optionees who were granted Options
prior thereto, (ii) any such amendment shall not result in a "modification" of
any Option within the meaning of Section 425(h) of the Code, and (iii) any
amendment which increases the total number of shares of Stock covered by this
Plan shall be subject to obtaining the approval of the Shareholders.

          20.2 Automatic Termination.  This Plan shall terminate ten (10) years
               ---------------------
after its effective date unless the Board shall, in its discretion, elect to
terminate this Plan at an earlier date.  Options may be granted under this Plan
at any time and from time to time prior to termination of the Plan under this
Section 20.2.  Any Option outstanding at the time the Plan is terminated under
this Section 20.2 shall remain in effect until the Option is exercised or
expires.

writing and delivered in person, by certified mail or nationally recognized
courier service to the President or Secretary of the Company at the principal
office of the Company.

          21.2 Effective Date of the Plan.  The effective date of this Plan
               --------------------------
shall be the date on which the Board adopts the Plan.

          21.3 Employment.  Nothing in the Plan or in any Option granted
               ----------
hereunder, or in any Option Grant relating thereto, shall confer upon any
employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or any successor thereof the right to
continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or any successor
thereof.

          21.4 Plan Binding.  The Plan shall be binding upon the successors and
               ------------
assigns of the Company and the heirs, administrators, successors, and permitted
assigns of any Optionee.

          21.5 Gender.  Whenever used herein, nouns in the singular shall
               ------
include the plural, and the masculine pronoun shall include the feminine gender.

          21.6 Headings.  Captioned headings of paragraphs and subparagraphs
               --------
hereof are inserted for convenience and reference and constitute no part of the
Plan.

          21.7 Applicable Law.  The validity, interpretation, and enforcement of
               --------------
this Plan are governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Florida and
the United States of America.

     22.  Indemnification.  Each director of the Company ("Indemnified Party")
          ---------------
shall be indemnified by the Company against all costs and reasonable expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by him in connection with any
action, suit, or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therefrom, to
which he may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or
in connection with this Plan or any Option granted hereunder, and against all
amounts paid by such Indemnified Party in settlement thereof (provided such
settlement is approved in advance by legal counsel selected by the Company) or
paid by such Indemnified Party in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action,
suit, or proceeding; provided, however, that, within sixty (60) days after
institution of such action, suit, or proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall in
writing offer the Company the opportunity, at its own expense, to defend the
same; and provided, further, however, that anything contained in this Plan to
the contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no indemnification of an
Indemnified Party who is finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be guilty of, or liable for, willful misconduct, gross neglect of duty, or
criminal actions in connection with this Plan or an Option granted hereunder.
The foregoing rights of indemnification shall be in addition to any other rights
of indemnification that an Indemnified Party may have as a Director or officer
of the Company.

                     AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
                     ------------------------------------

     This Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (hereinafter the "Agreement") is
entered into effective as of this 20th day of December, 2001, by and among
Helpmate Robotics, Inc., a Connecticut corporation (hereinafter "HELP");
Helpmate Robotics Subsidiary, Inc., a newly-formed Connecticut corporation
(hereinafter "HELP Sub"); and PainCare, Inc., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter
"PainCare").

                                   RECITALS:

     WHEREAS, HELP desires to acquire PainCare as a wholly-owned subsidiary and
to issue shares of HELP common stock to the shareholders of PainCare upon the
terms and conditions set forth herein.

     WHEREAS, HELP Sub is a wholly-owned subsidiary corporation of HELP which

it advisable and in the best interests of such corporations and their respective
shareholders that HELP Sub merge with and into PainCare pursuant to this

     WHEREAS, HELP Sub has an authorized capitalization consisting of 20,000
shares of no par value common stock, of which 1,000 shares shall be issued and

     NOW THEREFORE, for the mutual consideration set out herein, and other good
and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree as follows:

Consummation of the Merger shall be upon the following terms and subject to the
following conditions:

     (a)  Corporate Existence.

              (1)  At the Effective Date, the Surviving Corporation shall
     continue its corporate existence as a Nevada corporation and (i) it shall
     thereupon and thereafter possess all rights, privileges, powers, franchises
     and property (real, personal and mixed) of each of the Constituent
     Corporations; (ii) all debts due to either of the Constituent Corporations,
     on whatever account, all causes in action and all other things belonging to
     either of the Constituent Corporations shall be taken and deemed to be
     transferred to and shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation by virtue
     of the Merger without further act or deed; and (iii) all rights of
     creditors and all liens upon any property of any of the Constituent
     Corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, limited in lien to the property
     affected by such liens immediately prior to the Effective Date, and all
     debts, liabilities and duties of the Constituent Corporations shall
     thenceforth attach to the Surviving Corporation.

              (2)  At the Effective Date, (i) the Articles of Incorporation and
     the By-laws of PainCare, as existing immediately prior to the Effective
     Date, shall be and remain the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the
     Surviving Corporation; (ii) the members of the Board of Directors of

     Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation, such vacancy may
     thereafter be filled in a manner provided by applicable law and the By-laws
     of the Surviving Corporation); and (iii) until the Board of Directors of
     the Surviving Corporation shall otherwise determine, all persons who hold
     offices of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Date shall continue
     to hold the same offices of the Surviving Corporation.

     (b)  Events Occurring at or Prior to Closing.

              (1)  HELP shall have authorized 40,000,000 shares of common stock
     without par value.

              (2)  HELP shall have 900,000 shares of its common stock issued and
     outstanding (taking into effect the reverse stock split described in this
     Agreement) and no other shares of capital stock issued or outstanding not
     taking into effect the shares to be issued under this Agreement.
<PAGE>

              (3)  HELP shall have and will demonstrate to the reasonable
     satisfaction of PainCare that it has no debts, taxes, liabilities, liens
     and/or judgments, contingent or fixed, in excess of amounts reserved to
     satisfy such items, and no material assets other than a minimum of $315,000
     in cash in its bank accounts (net of amounts reserved as described above)
     (the "Help Cash"), subject to the provisions of the following sentence and
     Section 2(e)(8), which shall be available to and used as deemed appropriate
     by the new management of HELP. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence if
     the contemplated transactions are not closed by December 31, 2001, the
     minimum amount of Help Cash shall be reduced to $300,000 and if the
     transactions are not closed by February 28, 2002, and the parties have

     amount of Help Cash will be reduced to $275,000 with reductions of $25,000
     for equal calendar quarter thereafter that the transactions do not close.
     If the Help Cash at Closing is less than $315,000 (or such lesser amount as
     provided in the foregoing sentence), then the difference (the "Help Cash
     Shortfall") shall be retained by HELP (to be available to and used as
     deemed appropriate by the new management of HELP) from the Holdback Amount
     (as defined below) prior to any distribution of the Holdback Amount to Help
     Shareholders of record as of a record date prior to the Closing Date.

              Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of
     this Section 2(b)(3) shall survive the Closing without limitation.

              (4)  HELP shall effect a 22.19 to 1 reverse stock split, reducing
     its outstanding shares of common stock to 900,000 shares from 19,971,313
     shares. All references herein to shares of common stock of HELP to be
     issued or as outstanding give effect to the 22.19 to 1 reverse split unless
     otherwise stated.

              (5)  The resignation of the existing HELP officers and directors
     and the appointment of new officers and directors as directed by PainCare.

              (6)  HELP will not have any options, warrants or other derivative
     instruments which may be converted to HELP capital stock.

     (c)  Conversion of Securities.

          As of the Effective Date and without any action on the part of HELP,

     immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be converted into one share
     of HELP Common Stock up to a maximum aggregate amount of 7,600,000 shares
     of HELP Common Stock (the "Help Conversion Shares").  All such shares of
     PainCare Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall
     automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate
     previously evidencing any such shares shall thereafter represent the right
     to receive, upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with the
     provisions of Section 3 hereof, certificates evidencing such number of
     shares of HELP Common Stock, respectively, into
<PAGE>

     which such shares of PainCare Common Stock were converted. The holders of
     such certificates previously evidencing shares of PainCare Common
     outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall cease to have any
     rights with respect to such shares of PainCare Common except as otherwise
     provided herein or by law;

          (2)  Any shares of PainCare capital stock held in the treasury of
     PainCare immediately prior to the Effective Date shall automatically be
     canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment
     shall be made with respect thereto;

          (4)  Each share of capital stock of HELP Sub issued and outstanding
     immediately prior to the Effective Date shall remain in existence as one
     share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, all of which shall be
     owned by HELP;

          (5)  The shares of HELP Common Stock previously issued and outstanding
     immediately prior to the Merger will remain outstanding, subject to the
     provisions of Section 2(b)(4) hereof, so that after conversion of the

     Joint Proxy and Registration Statement, on Form S-4 (the "Registration

     Registration Statement has been declared "effective" by the SEC.

          (4)  HELP shall and will demonstrate to the satisfaction of PainCare
     that it has satisfied all requirements as may be required by the laws,
     rules and regulations of the State of Connecticut, the National Association

(e)  Holdback Distribution

     (1)  On December 30, 1999, HELP completed the sale of substantially all of
          HELP's assets, subject to specified liabilities, to Pyxis Corporation
          ("Pyxis"). In consideration thereof, HELP received certain cash less
          the sum of $1,250,000.00 (such amount, together with any interest or
          other earnings thereon, and less distributions made to satisfy certain
          payment obligations of HELP being called the "Holdback Amount"), which
          is to be held in escrow for a period of two years following December
          30, 1999, in order to settle potential indemnification claims by Pyxis
          and satisfy specified payment obligations of HELP to Pyxis.

     (2)  The net cash heretofore received by HELP from Pyxis has been
          distributed to HELP's stockholders of record who were such on January
          29, 2000. PainCare acknowledges that the (other than claims under
          Section 2(b)(3) above for the Help Cash Shortfall) neither the HELP
          Conversion Shares, nor shares issued pursuant to the Option Plan, nor
          any securities issued by HELP after the Effective Date, shall be
          entitled to any distributions to be made out of the Holdback Amount
          when, as and if the Holdback Amount, or any portion thereof, is
          released from escrow. Accordingly, the parties confirm this Agreement
          and agree to deal with the Hold back Amount as follows:

          (a)  As a result of the Merger, the PainCare Shareholders and each
               subsequent holder of any of the HELP Conversion Shares, for
               themselves, and for the heirs, personal representatives,
               administrators, successors and assigns (each of the foregoing
               being referred to as a "Holder"), relinquish any and all rights
               to receive or participate in any dividend or distribution of any
               of the Holdback Amount (other than
<PAGE>

               claims under Section 2(b)(3) above for the Help Cash Shortfall),
               when, if and in whatever manner such Holdback Amount is ever
               distributed upon the Common Stock of HELP (or any securities into
               which the Common Stock of HELP may be converted) whether by
               dividend, distribution in partial or complete liquidation of
               HELP, or otherwise (all of the foregoing being referred to as the
               "Holdback Distribution").

          (b)  If any Holder receives any Holdback Distribution with respect to
               the Shares in violation of the provisions of this Agreement, the
               Holder shall hold such Holdback Distribution in trust for the
               benefit of HELP and such Holdback Distribution shall not be
               commingled with other funds or property of such Holder.

     (3)  The provisions set forth in this Section 2(e) shall be binding upon
          and inure to the benefit of the PainCare Shareholders, HELP and their
          respective transferees, heirs, legal representatives, personal
          representatives, successors and assigns. The restrictions set forth in
          this Section 2(e)shall be applicable to all HELP Conversion Shares,
          including any securities into which the HELP Conversion Shares may be
          converted.

     (4)  It is the intention of the parties hereto that (i) the restrictions
          upon the HELP Conversion Shares set forth in this Section 2(e) shall
          have the same force and effect as would similar restrictions set forth
          in the Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation of HELP, and (ii) the
          HELP Conversion Shares shall not be deemed issued and outstanding in
          determining the number of shares of HELP's common stock issued and
          outstanding for purposes of calculating the pro rata distribution of
                                                      --- ----
          the Holdback Distribution to HELP's stockholders.

     (5)  The provisions of this Section 2(e) may only be amended, modified or
          waived by (a) either (1) the affirmative vote of the holders of a
          majority of the issued and outstanding shares of HELP's common stock
          (other than the HELP Conversion Shares) at a duly constituted meeting
          of such stockholders or (2) a written consent of the holders of a
          majority of the issued and outstanding shares of HELP's common stock
          (other than the HELP Conversion Shares) in lieu of such a vote, and
          (b) the approval of the Board of Directors of HELP as it may exist
          from time to time subsequent to the Closing.

     (6)  The provisions of this Section 2(e) shall survive the Closing without
          limitation.

     (7)  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth above, HELP
          shall retain from the Holdback Amount, and shall make available to the
          new management of HELP, an amount equal to the Help Cash Shortfall, if
          any.
<PAGE>

     3.   Delivery of Shares. On or as soon as practicable after the Effective
          ------------------
Date, PainCare will use its best efforts to cause the PainCare Shareholders to
surrender for cancellation certificates representing their shares of PainCare
Common Stock, against delivery of certificates representing the shares of HELP
Common Stock for which the PainCare shares are to be converted in the Merger.
Until surrendered and exchanged as herein provided, each outstanding certificate
which, prior to the Effective Date, represented an PainCare stock certificate
shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of the same
number of shares of HELP Common Stock  into which the PainCare certificate shall
have been so converted.

     4.   Representations of PainCare. PainCare hereby represents and warrants
          ---------------------------
as follows, which warranties and representations shall also be true as of the

the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

          (b)  Waiver.  Any failure on the part of any party hereto to comply
               ------
with any of its obligations, agreements or conditions hereunder may be waived in
writing by the party to whom such compliance is owed.

          (c)  Termination.  All obligations hereunder may be terminated at the
               -----------
discretion of either party's Board of Directors if (i) the closing conditions
specified in Sections 7 and 8 are not met by February 28, 2002, unless
unanimously extended, or (ii) any of the representations and warranties made
herein have been materially breached.

          (d)  Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended only in writing as
               ---------
agreed to by all parties hereto.

          (e)  Notices.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall be

the last known address of the noticed party.

          (f)  Headings.  The section and subsection headings in this Agreement
               --------
are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.

          (g)  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in
               ------------
two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

          (h)  Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties

          (i)  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the attached Exhibits
               ----------------
including the Plan and Articles of Merger attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is the
entire agreement of the parties covering everything agreed upon or understood in
the transaction.  There are no oral promises, conditions, representations,
understandings, interpretations or terms of any kind as conditions or
inducements to the execution hereof.

               ----

          (k)  Severability.  If any part of this Agreement is deemed to be

<PAGE>

          (l)  Responsibility and Costs.  Whether the Merger is consummated or
               ------------------------
not, all fees, expenses and out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without
limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and
accountants, incurred by the parties hereto shall be borne solely and entirely
by the party that has incurred such costs and expenses, unless the failure to
consummate the Merger constitutes a breach of the terms hereof, in which event
the breaching party shall be responsible for all reasonable costs of all parties
hereto.  The parties have agreed to an allocation of responsibility by their
respective counsel with respect to certain legal matters to be completed prior
to the Effective Date, which allocation is set forth in the HELP Disclosure
Schedule.  HELP's obligation to deliver the HELP Cash at the Closing is subject
to HELP incurring legal costs and expenses with respect to the transaction
described in this Agreement in accordance with that allocation. If HELP or its
legal counsel determines at anytime during the process of completing the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement that HELP'S legal counsel is having
to bear more than its allotted duties it shall immediately advise PainCare and
its counsel specifying in writing the tasks and the extent of the duties it is
being required to undertake for which it was not otherwise responsible. Upon
such determination and notice all such work with respect to the subject
transactions will be stopped until such time as the parties can resolve the
issues. If such issues can not be resolved to the satisfaction of both parties,
either party may terminate this Agreement and the parties' duties and
responsibilities as provided herein shall notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary immediately terminate. Failure of HELP or its counsel to immediately
provide such notice to PainCare will result in a waiver of any rights HELP may
otherwise have with respect to the delivery of the HELP Cash and the indemnity
provisions of this Agreement but only to the extent that such failure to give
notice results in a shortfall of such HELP Cash of more than $5,000.00.

          (m)  Applicable Law.  This Agreement shall be construed and governed
               --------------
by the laws of the State of Connecticut.
