Successor being hereinafter referred to as the "Issuer") to issue, to MKD or

hereinafter set forth, to introduce it to certain of MKD's other business

ARTICLE I
Equity Participation

assigns on or before the Issuance Date (defined below) equity interests or
rights to acquire equity interests in the Issuer representing on a fully diluted
basis on the Issuance Date 18% of the outstanding equity interests of the
interests of the Issuer (the "Securities"). The Securities to be issued shall be

the exercise of any rights or warrants included as part of the Securities), on a
fully diluted basis, not less than 9% of the outstanding common equity of the
Issuer. On the same date as the Securities are issued to MKD or its permitted
assigns hereunder, the Issuer shall enter into with MKD and/or its permitted
assigns a registration rights agreement providing for unlimited piggyback
registration rights. The registration rights agreement shall contain customary
terms and provisions and shall provide that all expenses of any such
registration (other than the payment of underwriting commissions relating to any
Securities to be sold pursuant thereto) shall be borne by the Issuer, that no
person shall be granted more favorable registration rights than those set forth
in the agreement and that, in the event the total number of shares to be
registered pursuant to such registration exceeds the number that the Issuer is
advised by the lead investment bank underwriting the offering, the number of
shares by which the offering is to be reduced shall be apportioned among all
parties seeking to register shares pro rata according to the total number of
shares sought to be registered by each such party.
As used herein "Issuance Date" shall mean the earlier of (i) the date the
Company files a registration statement for its IPO with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and (ii) the date the Successor is formed. The term
"Successor" shall mean any corporation or other company with which the Company
merges or otherwise combines or to which the Company transfers substantially all
of its assets or to which a majority of the equity interests of the Company are
transferred.
1.2 Representation and Warranty of the Issuer. The Issuer hereby represents
and warrants that all Securities (other than Securities constituting warrants or
rights) issued to the Acquiror will when issued be validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable, and in the event warrants or rights are issued, such
warrants or rights will when issued be validly issued and sufficient number of
the Securities into which such warrants or rights may be exercised will have
been reserved for issuance upon any such exercise and, upon exercise of such
warrants or rights, the Securities issued pursuant to such exercise will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
1.3 Representations and Warranties to be made by the Acquiror. At the time
the Securities are issued, MKD understands and agrees that it and/or its
permitted assigns (collectively, the "Acquiror") will be required to make the
following representations and warranties to the Company:
(a) The Acquiror understands that the Securities have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
and the Securities are being transferred to the Acquiror under an exemption from
registration provided by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder.

investment in the Securities, (ii) to hold the Securities for an indefinite
period of time, and (iii) to afford a complete loss of such investment.

business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
investment in the Securities and of making an informed investment decision with
respect thereto.
(d) The Acquiror has been given the opportunity to obtain information
and to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the Issuer or any person
acting on its behalf concerning the Securities and the Issuer and to obtain any
additional information to verify the accuracy of any information furnished. All
such questions have been answered to the Acquiror's full satisfaction.
(e) The Securities are being acquired solely for the Acquiror's own
account for investment and not with a view to a distribution thereof. The
Acquiror has no agreement or other arrangement with any person to sell, transfer
or pledge any part of the Securities.
(f) The Acquiror understands that:
(i) All certificates evidencing the Securities will bear the
following legend:
THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY
NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, THE
REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.

risks in that, among other factors, (a) successful operation of the
Company may depend on factors beyond the control of the Company, and
(b) the investment in the Company is a speculative investment and
involves a high degree of risk of loss, and accordingly, it may not be
possible for the Acquiror to liquidate its investment in case of
imminent need of funds or any other emergency, if at all.
(iii) The Company is recently formed and has no history of
operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to
complete and implement its proposed business plan successfully, or
that it will be able to negotiate acceptable contractual relationships
necessary to make the business profitable.

the establishment of a business and the

WHEREAS, as permitted by the Agreement, MegaVison has assigned to
HealthCore substantially all of its assets and specifically all of its rights
