the difference between the actual net worth and 0. If the net worth of the
SELLER at closing is less then 0, the Acquisition Price shall be reduced by the

Price will be made in cash with respect to Hal and in PURCHASER stock with
respect to Bart in the proportions set forth in Section 8.4. Increase in the
Acquisition Price shall be made in cash to Hal and in stock to Bart in the
proportions set forth in Section 8.4. PURCHASER stock shall be valued at the

Within sixty days of the closing, SELLERS shall prepare and submit to
PURCHASER a balance sheet reflecting all of the assets and liabilities of the

receipt by PURCHASER of the proposed Closing Date Balance Sheet, PURCHASER shall
submit in writing to SELLERS and COMPANY any and all proposed adjustments.
PURCHASER shall allow SELLERS access to the books and records of COMPANY during
normal business hours to review and prepare the Closing Date Balance Sheet. No
-2-
later than the date that is thirty (30) days after the date of receipt by
SELLERS of PURCHASER's proposed adjustments, SELLERS shall notify PURCHASER
whether or not they accept the proposed adjustments and which, if any, they
reject. Thereafter, for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, PURCHASER and
SELLERS will attempt in good faith to reach agreement on the Closing Date
Balance Sheet. Failing agreement within such time period, the parties shall
submit the accounting issues in dispute to binding arbitration to an accountant
who shall serve as arbitrator, to be agreed upon between the parties. Payment
shall be made within ten (10) days after a final determination of the Closing
Date Balance Sheet.
1.2 Gross Profit Adjustment.
-----------------------
1.2.1. During the initial 12 month period and the following 13th
through the 24th month, following consummation of the stock purchase pursuant to
this Agreement, SELLERS shall be entitled to an additional purchase price (Earn
Out), not to exceed $100,000.00 for each 12 month period computed as follows:
For purposes of this Article 1, Gross Profit shall mean Revenues less
Direct Costs. Revenues herein shall mean sales of products or services less
returns, allowances and discounts. Direct Costs shall mean the costs associated
with reproduction and packaging of software and the cost of equipment, supplies
and accessories purchased for resale.
For purposes of the Gross Profit adjustment computation, Gross Profit of

of COMPANY calculated as follows:
-3-
Gross Profit of COMPANY for 1996
--------------------------------
Gross Profit of COMPANY and DR Software, = COMPANY Percent Inc. for 1996
1.2.2. The COMPANY Percent shall be multiplied by the combined Gross
Profit of COMPANY and DR Software for each 12 month period of the Earn Out. To
the extent the product of such multiplication (Gross Profit of COMPANY) exceeds
$500,000.00, SELLERS shall be entitled to additional Earn Out compensation of
$0.66 for each $1.00 of Gross Profit of COMPANY in excess of $500,000.00.
1.2.3. To the extent the Earn Out for the first 12 month period is
less than $100,000.00, the difference between $100,000.00 and the amount of the
actual Earn Out shall be added to the maximum achievable Earn Out for the second
12 month period so that any deficiency in the Earn Out for the first 12 month
period may be made up in the second 12 month period.
1.2.4. To the extent that the amount of Gross Profit for the first 12
month period would entitle the SELLERS to an Earn Out payment in excess of
$100,000.00, the amount of such excess Gross Profit shall be carried forward to
the second 12 month period and added to the Gross Profits for the second 12
months.
1.2.5. PURCHASER shall provide SELLERS within thirty (30) days after
receipt of financial statements from its accounting firm, but no later than 120
days after the end of each of the first two 12 month periods of this Agreement,

objection, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to achieve

within sixty (60) days of receipt of said objection, either party may submit the
matter for binding arbitration, pursuant to the rules of the American
Arbitration Association (AAA), to a single arbitrator, experienced in matters of
this kind. Arbitration shall occur in Atlanta, Georgia.
1.2.6. In the event an additional business or businesses are combined
with the COMPANY or DR Software, Inc., the parties shall mutually agree on an
adjustment to the COMPANY Percent on a basis comparable to the basis to
determine the COMPANY's Percent set forth hereinabove.
