on the part of Merger Sub, Company or the holders of any of the following
securities, the following shall occur:

     A. CONVERSION OF COMPANY COMMON STOCK.  Each share of common stock, $.001
par value per share, of Company (the "Company Common Stock") issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any shares of
Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.5.B. and any
Dissenting Shares (as defined and to the extent provided in Section 2.5.), will
be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted (subject to Section
2.5.F.) into the right to receive (i) .06873 of a share, unless adjusted as
provided for herein, of Parent Common Stock ("Common Exchange Ratio") and (ii)
0.07558 of a share of Parent Preferred Stock, such shares to be represented by
depository receipts representing 0.100 per share of Parent Preferred Stock
rounded up to the nearest 1/100th share of Parent Preferred Stock. When used
herein unless the context otherwise requires, the term "Parent Preferred Stock"
also includes the depository receipts.

     B. CANCELLATION OF COMPANY-OWNED STOCK.  Each share of Company Common Stock
held by Company or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Company
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished
without any conversion thereof.

     C. WARRANTS.  All warrants to purchase Company Common Stock (collectively,
the "Warrants") then outstanding shall be terminated and replaced with new
warrants to purchase Parent Common Stock in the manner described in Section 6.4.

     D. STOCK OPTIONS.  All options (collectively, the "Options") to purchase
Company Common Stock then outstanding under the Company's stock option plans
referenced in SCHEDULE 3.3 (collectively, the "Company Stock Option Plans")
shall be terminated and replaced with new options to purchase Parent Common
Stock in the manner described in Section 6.4.

     E. ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION.  The conversion rights of holders of Company
Common Stock shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split,
reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of
securities convertible into Company Common Stock, Parent Common Stock or Parent
Preferred Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with
respect to Company Common Stock, Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock
occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

     F. FRACTIONAL SHARES.  As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company
Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled
and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate previously
representing any such shares shall thereafter represent only the right to
receive a certificate representing the shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent
Preferred Stock into which such Company Common Stock was converted in the
Merger. The holders of such certificates previously evidencing such shares of
the Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of the Company

                                       A-7
<PAGE>   12

Common Stock as of the Effective Time except as otherwise provided herein or by
law. Such certificates previously representing shares of the Company Common
Stock shall be exchanged for certificates representing whole shares of Parent
Common Stock and Parent Preferred Stock issued in consideration therefor upon
the surrender of such certificates in accordance with the provisions of Section
2.6., without interest. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent
Preferred Stock will be issued in connection with the Merger, but in lieu
thereof, the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be
entitled to receive (i) a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall
receive cash in an amount equal to the value of such fractional shares, which
shall be equal to the fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock that would
otherwise be issued multiplied by Four and 93/100 Dollars ($4.93) or (ii) a
depository receipt representing less than 0.10 of a share of Parent Preferred
Stock shall receive cash in an amount equal to the value of such depository
receipt, which shall be equal to the fraction of a share of Parent Preferred
Stock less than 0.10 share that would otherwise be issued multiplied by Five and
44/100 Dollars ($5.44).

     G. CONDITIONAL STOCK.  If any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a
repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable
restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with the Company, then
the shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent Preferred Stock issued in exchange
for such shares of Company Common Stock will also be unvested and subject to the
same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition, and the
certificates representing such shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent
Preferred Stock may accordingly be marked with appropriate legends. The Company
shall take all action that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the
Effective Time, Parent is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or
other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or other
agreement.

     H. ODD LOT CASH-OUT.  Notwithstanding Sections 2.5.A. and 2.5.F. above, any
holder, owning in the aggregate, one hundred (100) or fewer shares of Company
Common Stock ("Odd Lot Shareholder"), shall instead receive cash in an amount
equal to 75/100 Dollars ($.75) per share of Company Common Stock held by such
Odd Lot Shareholder.

     I. DISSENTERS RIGHTS.

     (i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any
shares of Company Common Stock held by a holder who has demanded and perfected
appraisal or dissenters' rights for such shares in accordance with Colorado Law
and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such
appraisal or dissenters' rights (the "Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted
into or represent a right to receive the consideration set forth pursuant to
this Section 2.5., but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights
as are granted by Colorado Law.

     (ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (i), if any holder of
shares of Company Common Stock who demands appraisal of such shares under
Colorado Law shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or
otherwise) the right to appraisal, then, as of the later of the Effective Time
and the occurrence of such event, such holder's shares shall automatically be
converted into and represent only the right to receive Parent Common Stock,
Parent Preferred Stock and payment for any fractional share as provided in this
Section 2.5., without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate
representing such shares.

                                       A-8
<PAGE>   13

     (iii) The Company shall give Parent (1) prompt notice of any written
demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, withdrawals of such
demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Colorado Law and received
by the Company and (2) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and
proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Colorado Law. The
Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily
make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal of capital stock of
the Company or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

Parent Common Stock and Parent Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 2.5., cash in
lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.5.F. and any dividends or
other distributions to which holders of shares of Company Common Stock may be
entitled pursuant to Section 2.6.C. (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall
specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the
Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the
Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as
Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the
surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates evidencing shares of
Parent Common Stock and Parent Preferred Stock, cash in lieu of any fractional
shares pursuant to Section 2.5.F. and any dividends or other distributions
pursuant to Section 2.6.C. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to
the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by
Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly
executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other customary
documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such
Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange thereof (i) certificates
evidencing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent
Preferred Stock into which such holder's shares of Company Common Stock were
converted at the Effective Time; (ii) any dividends or other distributions to
which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.6.C. and (iii) cash in lieu
of fractional shares to which such holder is in entitled pursuant to Section
2.5.F., and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the
event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock which is not

Parent Common Stock and Parent Preferred Stock and cash may be issued and paid
in accordance with this Section 2. to a transferee if the Certificate evidencing
such shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents
required to evidence and effect such transfer pursuant to this Section 2.6. and
by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. Until so
surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that, prior to the Effective

                                       A-9
<PAGE>   14

Time, represented shares of Company Common Stock will be deemed from and after
the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, other than the payment of
dividends, to evidence only the ownership of the number of full shares of Parent
Common Stock and Parent Preferred Stock into which such shares of Company Common
Stock shall have been so converted and the right to receive an amount in cash in
lieu of the issuance of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.5.F.

     C. DISTRIBUTIONS WITH RESPECT TO UNEXCHANGED SHARES.  No dividends or other
distributions declared or made after the Effective Time, with respect to Parent
Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock with a record date after the Effective
Time, shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until the
holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate or comply with the
lost instrument procedure set forth in Section 2.7. Subject to applicable law,
following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record
holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock and
Parent Preferred Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the
time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a
record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole
shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent Preferred Stock.

     D. TRANSFERS OF OWNERSHIP.  If any certificate for shares of Parent Common
Stock or Parent Preferred Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in
which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be
a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered will be
properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person
requesting such exchange will have paid to Parent or any person designated by it
any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate
for shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock in any name other
than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or
established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that
such tax has been paid or is not payable.

     E. REQUIRED WITHHOLDING.  Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent and the
Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any
consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any
holder or former holder of Company Common Stock such amounts as may be required
to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or under any provision of
state, local or foreign tax law or under any other applicable legal requirement.
To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be
treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person
to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

2.6., neither the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub nor the Company shall be
liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock, Parent Common Stock or
Parent Preferred Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official
pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

     2.7. LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES.  In the event any Certificates
shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in
exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an
affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such shares of Company Common
Stock as may be required pursuant to Section 2.5.; provided, however, that
Parent may, in its sole discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance
thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to
deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against

                                      A-10
<PAGE>   15

any claim that may be made against Parent or the Exchange Agent with respect to
the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Parent Common Stock and Parent Preferred Stock issued upon the surrender for
exchange of shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof
(including any cash paid in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 2.5.F. and
2.6.C.) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights
pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock, and there shall be no further
registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares
of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, certificates are presented to the
Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as
provided in this Section 2.

          (ii) Such Plan has been administered and operated in compliance with,
     and has been amended to comply with, all applicable laws, rules, and
     regulations, including, without limitation, ERISA, the Code, and the

     if applicable.

          (iv) Such Plan is fully funded in an amount sufficient to pay all
     liabilities (whether or not vested) accrued (including liabilities and

          (v) On the Closing Date such Plan will be fully funded in an amount
     sufficient to pay all liabilities (whether or not vested) accrued as of the

     therefor.

          (vi) Such Plan has been administrated and operated only in the
     ordinary and usual course and in accordance with its terms, and there has
     not been in the four (4) years prior hereto any increase in the liabilities
     of such Plan beyond increases typically experienced as a result of changes
     in the workforce.

          (vii) Such Plan is not a multiemployer plan (as defined in ERISA
     sec. 3(37) or 4001(a)(3)), is not a single-employer plan (as defined in
     ERISA sec. 4001(a)(15)), and is not a defined benefit plan (as defined in

                                      A-18
<PAGE>   23

     Closing Date, and no Person who would be a fiduciary with respect to such
     Plan has breached any of his responsibilities or obligations imposed upon
     fiduciaries under Title I of ERISA which would subject Company or any ERISA
     Affiliate, or any Person whom the Company has an obligation to indemnify,
     to any liability.

          (ix) Such Plan contains provisions which allow additional benefits
     under the Plan to be discontinued at any time and for any reason, and which
     allow the Plan to be terminated (or the Company's participation in the Plan
     to be terminated) by the Company at any time and for any reason, and, if
     such Plan were terminated (or the Company's participation in such Plan were
     terminated) on or prior to the Closing Date, no additional liability would
     be incurred by the Company by such action.

          (x) All communications with respect to such Plan by any Person on or
     prior to the Closing Date have reflected accurately the documents and
     operations of such Plan, and no Person has, as of the Closing Date, any
     liability under any applicable law by reason of any communication or
     failure to communicate with respect to or in connection with such Plan.

          (xi) Such Plan does not provide benefits to any former employee, or
     any other Person who is not performing services for the Company, except as
     required by Code sec. 4980B and/or ERISA sec.sec. 601-609.

          (xii) No liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation

     Company or any ERISA Affiliate, except for PBGC insurance premiums (if
     any), and all such insurance premiums incurred or accrued up to and
     including the Closing Date have been timely paid, or will be timely paid
     prior to the Closing Date.

          (xiii) Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has ceased
     operations at any facility or withdrawn from such Plan in a manner which
     could subject the Company to liability under ERISA sec. 4062, 4063 or 4064,
     and no events have occurred or will occur on or prior to the Closing Date
     which might give rise to any liability of Company to the PBGC under Title
     IV of ERISA or which could reasonably be anticipated to result in any
     claims being made against Company by the PBGC.

          (xiv) No entitlement to any benefit (including, but not limited to,
     severance pay, unemployment compensation or payment contingent upon a
     change in control or ownership of the Company) from such Plan shall arise,
     and no acceleration or increase in benefits due any Person shall occur, by
     reason of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
     Agreement.

          (xv) An ERISA fiduciary insurance policy issued by a licensed
     insurance company is in place covering each and every fiduciary of such
     Plan.

          (xvi) If such Plan purports to provide benefits which qualify for
     tax-favored treatment under Code sec. 79, 105, 106, 117, 120, 125, 127 129
     or 132, the Plan satisfies the requirements of said Code sections.

Company and their spouses, dependents, etc., are in the custody of the Company
(or an agent of the Company who must, upon demand, provide such records to the
Company), and such records accurately state the history of each participant and
beneficiary in connection with each

<PAGE>   24

liable for and neither the Company nor Merger Sub nor Parent will be liable for,
any contribution, Tax, lien, penalty, cost, interest, claim, loss, action, suit,
damage, cost assessment or other similar type of liability or expense of any

                                      A-38
<PAGE>   43

fiduciary duties to Company's shareholders that the acquiring party is capable
of consummating the proposed Acquisition Transaction on the terms proposed and
(z) Company's Board of Directors shall have determined in the exercise of its
fiduciary duties to Company's shareholders that the proposed Acquisition
Transaction provides greater value to the shareholders of Company than the
Merger (based upon the written opinion of Company's independent financial
advisors that such Acquisition Transaction is superior to the Merger from a
financial point of view).

     B. In addition to the obligations of Company set forth in paragraph A. of
this Section 5.1., Company as promptly as practicable, and in any event within
twenty-four (24) hours, shall advise Parent orally and in writing of any request
for information which Company reasonably believes would lead to an Acquisition
Proposal or of any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to or which
Company reasonably should believe would lead to any Acquisition Proposal, the
material terms and conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry,
and the identity of the person or group making any such request, Acquisition
Proposal or inquiry. Company will keep Parent informed in all material respects
of the status and details (including material amendments or proposed amendments)
or any such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry. In addition to the
foregoing, Company shall (i) provide Parent with at least forty-eight (48) hours
prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as provided to the members of
Company's Board of Directors, but in no event less than eight (8) hours) of any
meeting of Company's Board of Directors at which Company's Board of Directors is
reasonably expected to consider a Superior Offer and (ii) provide Parent with at
least five (5) business days prior written notice of a meeting of Company's
Board of Directors at which Company's Board of Directors is reasonably expected
to recommend a Superior Offer to its shareholders and together with such notice
a copy of the definitive documentation relating to such Superior Offer.

     5.2. PUBLIC DISCLOSURE.  Parent and Company will consult with each other
and agree before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public
statement with respect to the Merger, this Agreement or an Acquisition Proposal
and will not issue any such press release or make any such public statement
prior to such agreement, except as may be required by law or any listing
agreement with a national securities exchange, in which case reasonable efforts
to consult with the other party will be made prior to any such release or public
statement. The parties have agreed to the text of the joint press release
announcing the signing of this Agreement.

     5.3. REASONABLE EFFORTS; NOTIFICATION.

     A. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use all reasonable efforts to take, or
cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist
and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or
advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner
practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including using reasonable efforts to accomplish the following: (i)
the taking of all reasonable acts necessary to cause the conditions precedent
set forth in Section 7. to be satisfied; (ii) the obtaining of all necessary
actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations
from Governmental Bodies and the making of all necessary registrations,
declarations and filings (including registrations, declarations and filings with

necessary to avoid any suit, claim, action, investigation or proceeding by any
Governmental Body; (iii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or
waivers

                                      A-39

from third parties; (iv) the defending of any suits, claims, actions,
investigations or proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging

including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any
court or other Governmental Body vacated or reversed and (v) the execution or
delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions
contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement. In
connection with and without limiting the foregoing, Company and its Board of
Directors shall, if any state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation
is or becomes applicable to the Merger, this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, use all reasonable efforts to
ensure that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement
may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this
Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on
the Merger, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall
be deemed to require Parent or Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof to
agree to any divestiture by itself or any of its affiliates of shares of capital
stock or of any business, assets or property, or the imposition of any material
limitation on the ability of any of them to conduct their business or to own or
exercise control of such assets, properties and stock.

     B. Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any representation or
warranty made by it contained in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate,
or any failure of Company to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any
covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under
this Agreement, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section
7.2.A. or 7.2.B. would not be satisfied; provided, however, that no such
notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties
under this Agreement.

     C. Parent shall give prompt notice to Company of any representation or
warranty made by it or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement becoming untrue or
inaccurate, or any failure of Parent or Merger Sub to comply with or satisfy in
any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or
satisfied by it under this Agreement, in each case, such that the conditions set
forth in Section 7.3.A. or 7.3.B. would not be satisfied; provided, however,
that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of
the parties under this Agreement.

     5.4. THIRD PARTY CONSENTS.  As soon as practicable following the date
hereof, Parent and Company will each use its commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain any consents, waivers and approvals under any of its or its subsidiaries'
respective agreements, contracts, licenses or leases required to be obtained in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

     5.5. INDEMNIFICATION.  From and after the Effective Time, Parent will cause
the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations
of Company pursuant to any indemnification agreements between Company and its
directors and officers in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time and any
indemnification provisions under the Company Organizational Documents as in
effect on the date hereof. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the
Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to exculpation and
indemnification that are at least as favorable to the indemnified parties
thereunder (the "Indemnified Parties") as those contained in the

                                      A-40
<PAGE>   45

Company Organizational Documents as in effect on the date hereof, which
provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of
four (4) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect
the rights thereunder of the Indemnified Parties, unless such modification is
required by law.

     5.6. NASDAQ LISTING.  Parent agrees to authorize for listing on Nasdaq the
shares of Parent Common Stock issuable and those required to be reserved for
issuance, in connection with the Merger, upon official notice of issuance.

     5.7. REIMBURSEMENT OF EMPLOYEE COSTS AND EXPENSES.  Beginning October 1,
2000 and continuing until the earlier of (i) the termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 8 below or (ii) the Closing Date, the Parent will reimburse
the Subsidiary on a monthly basis for all costs and expenses, including salary,
benefits, commissions and travel or related expenses associated with the
following employees of Subsidiary who directly devote all or a portion of their
time and effort to the sales, training or support of the Parent's products and
services: (i) Karen Barbera; (ii) Michelle Peabody-Meyers; (iii) Fran Melda;
(iv) Art Michele; (v) Dan Sands and (vi) Jeff Weiss. The Subsidiary will provide
documentation of such efforts and expenses to the Parent and the Parent will pay
the stated amount within twenty (20) days of receipt of such documentation. If
the Parent disagrees with the amount stated by the Subsidiary, the Parent will
nevertheless pay such amount, subject to recoupment if the Parent's review of
the Subsidiary's books and records indicates that any portion of the amount was
not due. Any dispute on whether any recoupment is due or as to the amount of the
recoupment, will be negotiated between the principals of the Subsidiary and the
Parent and, if not resolved to the parties' satisfaction, will be conclusively
resolved by the independent certified public accountant for the Parent after a
review of records which the Subsidiary may supply to such independent public
accountant.

     5.8. PROVISION OF LOAN BY PARENT TO COMPANY.  Pursuant to that certain
Third Amendment to Loan Documents dated as of October 10, 2000 by and among

Dollars ($250,000.00) to Company and Subsidiary to be used for general working
capital purposes, which advance shall made on or before October 20, 2000 and
upon such advance, the total aggregate principal loan balance outstanding will
be ($1,550,000.00).

     5.9. PRACTICEWORKS SPIN-OFF.  Unless this Agreement is terminated prior to
the Effective Time pursuant to Section 8 below, the parties shall cause the
proposed Merger to be consummated prior to the PracticeWorks Spin-off.

     6.1. MUTUAL COVENANTS.

efforts to cause the Merger to constitute a tax-deferred "reorganization" under

                                      A-41
<PAGE>   46

     C. Confidentiality; Access to Information.

          (i) Prior to the Effective Time and after any termination of this
     Agreement each party hereto will hold, and will use its best efforts to
     cause its officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel,
     consultants, advisors, affiliates (as such term is used in Rule 12b-2 under
     the Exchange Act) and representatives (collectively, the
     "Representatives"), to hold, in confidence all confidential documents and
     information concerning the other parties hereto and the Subsidiary
     furnished to such party in connection with the transactions contemplated by
     this Agreement, including, without limitation, all analyses, compilations,
     studies or records prepared by the party receiving the information or by
     such party's Representatives, that contain or otherwise reflect or are
     generated from such information (collectively, the "Confidential
     Material"). The party furnishing any Confidential Material is herein
     referred to as the "Delivering Company" and the party receiving any
     Confidential Material is herein referred to as the "Receiving Company."

          (ii) The Receiving Company agrees that the Confidential Material will
     not be used other than for the purpose of the transaction contemplated by
     this Agreement, and that such information will be kept confidential by the
     Receiving Company and its Representatives; provided, however, that (1) any
     of such information may be disclosed to the Representatives who need to
     know such information for the purpose described above (it being understood
     that (a) each such Representative shall be informed by the Receiving
     Company of the confidential nature of such information, shall be directed
     by the Receiving Company to treat such information confidentially and not
     to use it other than for the purpose described above and shall agree to be
     bound by the terms of this Section 6.1.C. and (b) in any event, the
     Receiving Company shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by
     any of its Representatives) and (2) any other disclosure of such
     information may be made if the Delivering Company has, in advance,
     consented to such disclosure in writing. The Receiving Company will make
     all reasonable, necessary and appropriate efforts to safeguard the
     Confidential Material from disclosure to anyone other than as permitted
     hereby.

          (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Receiving Company or any
     of its Representatives is requested or required (by oral question or
     request for information or documents in legal proceedings, interrogatories,
     subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any
     Confidential Material, the Receiving Company will promptly notify the
     Delivering Company of such request or requirement so that the Delivering
     Company may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive the Receiving
     Company's compliance with the provisions or this Agreement. If, in the
     absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the
     Receiving Company or any of its Representatives is nonetheless, in the
     reasonable written opinion of the Receiving Company's counsel, compelled to
     disclose Confidential Material to any tribunal, the Receiving Company or
     such Representative, after notice to the Delivering Company, may disclose
     such information to such tribunal. The Receiving Party shall exercise
     reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment
     will be accorded the Confidential Material so disclosed. The Receiving
     Company or such Representative shall not be liable for the disclosure of
     Confidential Material hereunder to a tribunal compelling such disclosure
     unless such disclosure to such tribunal was caused by or resulted from a
     previous disclosure by the Receiving Company or any of its Representatives
     not permitted by this Agreement.

                                      A-42
<PAGE>   47

          (iv) This Section 6.1.C. shall be inoperative as to particular
     portions of the Confidential Material if such information (1) is or becomes
     generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by
     the Receiving Company or its Representatives; (2) was available to the
     Receiving Company on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to
     the Receiving Company by the Delivering Company or the Delivering Company's
     Representatives or (3) becomes available to the Receiving Company on a
     non-confidential basis from a source other than the Delivering Company or
     the Delivering Company's Representatives, provided that such source is not
     known by the Receiving Company, after reasonable inquiry, to be bound by a
     confidentiality agreement with the Delivering Company or the Delivering
     Company's Representatives and is not otherwise prohibited from transmitting
     the information to the Receiving Company by a contractual, legal or
     fiduciary obligation. The fact that information included in the
     Confidential Material is or becomes otherwise available to the Receiving
     Company or its Representatives under clauses (1) through (2) above shall
     not relieve the Receiving Company or its Representatives of the
     prohibitions of the confidentiality provisions of this Section 6.1. with
     respect to the balance of the Confidential Material.

          (v) If this Agreement is terminated, each party hereto will, and will
     use its best efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees,
     accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents to, destroy or
     deliver to the party from whom such Confidential Material was obtained,
     upon request, all documents and other materials, and all copies thereof,
     obtained by such party or on its behalf from any such other parties in
     connection with this Agreement that are subject to such confidence.

     D. Proxy Statement/Registration Statement; Shareholder Approval. Following
the execution of this Agreement, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will
mutually cooperate to prepare and file with the SEC a preliminary proxy
statement relating to the Merger (the "Proxy Statement") and Parent will prepare
and file with the SEC the Registration Statement in which the Proxy Statement
will be included as a prospectus. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company
will respond to any comments of the SEC and will use its best efforts to have
the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as
promptly as practicable after such filing and when the Registration Statement is
declared effective by the SEC, the Company will thereafter promptly cause the
Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders. In connection therewith,
Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will prepare and file any other filings
required under the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or any other Federal or blue
sky laws relating to the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (the "Other Filings"). Each party will notify the other party promptly
upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any
supplements to the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement or any Other
Filing or for additional information and will supply the other party with copies
of all correspondence between such party or any of its representatives, on the
one hand, and the SEC, or its staff or other government officials, on the other
hand, with respect to the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement, the
Merger or any Other Filing. The Proxy Statement, the Registration Statement and
the Other Filings will comply in all material respects with all applicable
requirements of law and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each
party agrees to cooperate with the other to provide all materials, documents,
exhibits and other requested information necessary to assure such compliance.
Whenever any event occurs which is required to be set forth in an amendment or
supplement to the Proxy Statement, the Registration Statement or any Other
Filing, Parent or the Company, as the case may be, will promptly inform the
other party of such

                                      A-43
<PAGE>   48

occurrence and cooperate in filing with the SEC or its staff or any other
government officials, and/or mailing to stockholders of the Company, such
amendment or supplement. The Proxy Statement will also include the approval of
this Agreement and the Merger and the recommendation of the Board of Directors
of the Company to Company's shareholders that they vote in favor of approval of
this Agreement and the Merger, subject to the right of the Board of Directors of
the Company to withdraw its recommendation and recommend a Superior Proposal
determined to be such in compliance with Section 5.1. of this Agreement;
provided, however, that the Board of Directors of Company shall submit this
Agreement to Company's shareholders whether or not at any time subsequent to the
date hereof such board determines that it can no longer make such
recommendation. Promptly after the date hereof, the Company will exercise its
best efforts and take all action necessary in accordance with Colorado law and
its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws to convene the Meeting to be held as
promptly as practicable, and in any event within (forty (40)) days after the
declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, for the purpose of
voting upon this Agreement. Unless Company's Board of Directors has withdrawn
its recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger in compliance with Section
5.1., Company shall use all reasonable efforts to solicit from its shareholders
proxies in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the Merger pursuant to
the Proxy Statement and shall take all other action necessary or advisable to
secure the vote or consent of shareholders required by Colorado Law or
applicable stock exchange requirements to obtain such approval. Notwithstanding
any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company acknowledges and
agrees that Parent may, by notice to the Company, postpone the filing of the
Registration Statement, the request to accelerate the declaration of
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or the mailing of the Proxy
Statement to the Company's shareholders if at any time the Board of Directors of
Parent, in good faith, determines that it would be detrimental to the Parent or
Company for such Registration Statement to be filed or declared effective, or
for such Proxy Statement to be mailed to the shareholders of the Company;
provided, that any such postponement shall not exceed ninety (90) days in
duration.

     A. At the Effective Time, the Company's obligations with respect to each
outstanding Option or Warrant, whether vested or unvested, will be terminated
and such Option or Warrant shall be replaced with an option or warrant, as the
case may be, (such replacement options or warrants shall hereinafter be referred
to collectively as "Parent Securities" or individually as "Parent Security") to
acquire shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of
shares of Company Common Stock that were purchasable under such Option or
Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by .1521298, rounded
up to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock. The per share
exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
such Parent Security will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the
exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which the related Option or
Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by .1521298 and
rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent. Each Parent
Security shall be evidenced by an option or warrant agreement in a form
acceptable to Parent and shall contain the following additional provisions: (i)
with respect to any Parent Security to be issued to Messrs. Horsley, Bayne and
Bilanich or to individuals who are

                                      A-46
<PAGE>   51

former employees or directors of either Company or Subsidiary as of the date of
this Agreement, the expiration date of such Parent Security shall be the same
expiration date as presently provided in such party's existing option or warrant
agreement with the Company; (ii) with respect to any Parent Security to be
issued to any other party not described in clause (i) above, the expiration date
of such Parent Security shall be the later of (x) one (1) year from the date of
Closing or (y) the thirtieth (30th) day following termination of such employee's
employment with the Company or Subsidiary, but in no event shall such expiration
date extend beyond the expiration date presently provided in such party's
existing option or warrant agreement with the Company and (iii) the Parent
Security shall be subject to automatic exchange for a comparable option or
warrant to acquire PracticeWorks common stock upon the PracticeWorks Spin-off,
adjusted to reflect the exchange rate applicable to other options or warrants of
the Parent which are exchanged in connection with the PracticeWorks Spin-off.

     B. Upon execution of this Agreement, Company will promptly send notice to
each Option or Warrant holder of the proposed termination and exchange of such
holder's Options or Warrants as described above, and the Company further agrees
to take any and all other action as may be required under any existing option or
warrant agreements to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section

of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before such date and
such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement;

     C. By either Company or Parent if a Governmental Body shall have issued an
order, decree or ruling or taken any other action, in any case having the effect
of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger, which
order, decree, ruling or other action is final and nonappealable;

     D. By either Company or Parent if the required approval of the shareholders
of Company contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been obtained by reason
of the failure to obtain the required vote at a meeting of Company shareholders
duly convened therefor or at any adjournment therefor;

     E. By Company, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement on the part of Parent set forth in this Agreement, or if any
representation or warranty of Parent shall have become untrue, in either case
such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3.A., B. or C. would not be
satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or
warranty shall have become untrue, provided, that if such inaccuracy in Parent's
representations and warranties or breach by Parent is curable by Parent, then
Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1.E. for thirty
(30) days after delivery of written notice from Company to Parent of such
breach, provided Parent continues to exercise best efforts to cure such breach
(it being understood that Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to
this paragraph E. if such breach by Parent is cured during such thirty (30) day
period);

     F. By Parent, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement on the part of Company set forth in this Agreement, or if any

such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2.A., B. or C. would not be
satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or
warranty shall have become untrue, provided, that if such inaccuracy in
Company's representations and warranties or breach by Company is curable by
Company, then Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1.F.
for thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice from Parent to Company of
such breach, provided Company continues to exercise best efforts to cure such
breach (it being understood that Parent may not terminate this Agreement
pursuant to this paragraph F. if such breach by Company is cured during such
thirty (30) day period);

     G. By Parent, if (i) the Board of Directors of Company withdraws, modifies
or changes its recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger in a manner
adverse to Parent or its stockholders; (ii) the Board of Directors of Company
shall have

Company fails to comply with Section 5.1.; (iv) an Acquisition Proposal shall
have been announced or otherwise become publicly known and the Board of
Directors of Company shall have (1) failed to recommend against acceptance of
such by its shareholders (including by taking no position, or indicating its
inability to take a position, with respect to the acceptance by its shareholders
of an Acquisition Proposal involving a tender offer or exchange offer) or (2)
failed to reconfirm its approval and recommendation of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby within five (5) business days thereafter; (v)
any of the Principal Shareholders fail to comply with the Shareholder Agreement
or (vi) the Board of Directors of Company resolves to take any of the actions

45/100 Dollars ($3.45), or by Parent, if the Share Value is greater than Six and
41/100 Dollars ($6.41). Termination of the Agreement by either party pursuant to
this Section 8.1.H. shall require delivery of written notice of termination to
the other party; however, if Company provides notice pursuant to this Section
8.1.H., that notice shall be irrevocable and Parent shall have the option, in
its sole discretion, by giving written notice to Company of such election prior
to Closing to reject the notice and proceed with Closing (i) using an adjusted
Common Exchange Ratio equal to the product of .06873 multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is $3.45 and the denominator of which is the Share Value
or (ii) in lieu of issuing Parent Common Stock as otherwise set forth herein,
pay cash in the amount of $.2372 per share of Company Common Stock. For purposes
hereof, the term "Share Value" shall mean an amount equal to the average closing
price of a share of Parent Common Stock as reported on NASDAQ for the twenty
(20) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date.
Termination of the Agreement under this section does not entitle the
non-terminating party to any termination fee, reimbursement of expenses, or
payment of a penalty of any kind.

     8.2. NOTICE OF TERMINATION; EFFECT OF TERMINATION.  Except as otherwise
provided in Section 8.1.H. above, any termination of this Agreement under

notice of the terminating party to the other parties hereto (or such later time
as may be required by Section 8.1.). In the event of the termination of this
agreement as provided in Section 8.2., this Agreement shall be of no further
force or effect, except (i) as set forth in this Section 8.2., Section
6.1.C.(i), Section 8.3. and Section 9., each of which shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party
from liability for fraud in connection with, or any willful breach of, this
Agreement.

     8.3. FEES AND EXPENSES.

     A. GENERAL.  Except as set forth in this Section 8.3., all fees and
expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses whether
or not the Merger is consummated; provided, however, that Parent and Company
shall share equally all fees and expenses, other than attorneys' and accountants
fees and expenses, incurred (i) in relation to the printing and filing of the
Proxy Statement (including any preliminary materials related thereto) and the
S-4 (including financial statements and exhibits) and any amendments or
supplements thereto or (ii) for the premerger notification and report forms
under the HSR Act.

     B. TERMINATION FEE.

                                      A-51
<PAGE>   56

          (i) In the event that (1) Parent shall terminate this Agreement
     pursuant to Section 8.1.G. or (2) this Agreement shall be terminated (x)
     pursuant to Section 8.1.B. or (y) pursuant to Section 8.1.D. and, in the
     case of either (x) or (y), (a) at or prior to such termination, there shall
     exist or have been proposed an Acquisition Proposal and (b) within nine (9)
     months after such termination, Company shall enter into a definitive
     agreement with respect to any Company Acquisition or any Company
     Acquisition shall be consummated, then, in the case of (1), promptly after
     such termination, or in the case of (2), concurrently with the execution of
     a definitive agreement with respect to, or the consummation of, as
     applicable, such Company Acquisition, Company shall pay to Parent an amount
     in cash equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars
     ($250,000.00) (the "Termination Fee").

          (ii) In the event that Parent shall terminate this Agreement pursuant
     to Section 8.1.F., then Company shall promptly reimburse Parent for
     Parent's costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the
     transactions contemplated hereby ("Parent's Expenses"), and if, within nine
     (9) months of such termination of this Agreement, Company shall enter into
     a definitive agreement with respect to any Company Acquisition or any
     Company Acquisition involving Company shall be consummated, then
     concurrently with the execution of a definitive agreement with respect to,
     or the consummation of, as applicable, such Company Acquisition, then
     Company shall pay to Parent an amount in cash equal to the amount by which
     the Termination Fee exceeds the amount of Parent's Expenses previously
     reimbursed by Company pursuant hereto.

          (iii) The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this
     Section 8.3.B. are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by
     this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter
     into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails to pay in a timely
     manner the amounts due pursuant to this Section 8.3.B. and, in order to
     obtain such payment, Parent makes a claim that results in a judgment
     against the Company for the amounts set forth in this Section 8.3.B., the
     Company shall pay to Parent its costs and expenses (including attorneys'
     fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on
     the amounts set forth in this Section 8.3.B. at the prime rate of interest
     as reported by SunTrust Bank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was
     required to be made. Payment of the fees described in this Section 8.3.B.
     shall not be in lieu of damages incurred in the event of breach of this
     Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Company Acquisition" shall
     mean any of the following transactions (other than the transactions
     contemplated by this Agreement): (i) a merger, consolidation, business
     combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar
     transaction involving the Company pursuant to which the shareholders of the
     Company immediately preceding such transaction hold less than fifty percent
     (50%) of the aggregate equity interests in the surviving or resulting
     entity of such transaction; (ii) a sale or other disposition by the Company
     of assets representing in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate
     fair market value of the Company's business immediately prior to such sale
     or (iii) the acquisition by any person or group (including by way of a
     tender offer or an exchange offer or issuance by the Company), directly or
     indirectly, of beneficial ownership or a right to acquire beneficial
     ownership of shares representing in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the
     voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the
     Company.

in cash equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00),
