          (d)  To redeem from the Sellers an additional 16,400 shares of Company
               common stock at a price of $2.24 per share for an aggregate

               by January 31, 2003;

          (e)  To amend warrants that entitled the Sellers to purchase an

PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING. On or about December 11, 2002, the Company received

placement, under which the investor purchased 2,439,024 of the company's common
stock at $0.41. The shares are restricted under Rule 144. The proceeds of the

          convert 300,000 shares of Series AA to a SurgiCare equivalent of
          $1,500,000 calculated by dividing $1,500,000 by the average closing
          price for the 20 previous trading days prior to a conversion, but no
          less than $0.41 per share.

     o    No later than June 1, 2005, the Company shall have the option to
          redeem 300,000 shares of Series AA for a payment of $1,500,000 or to

     o    No later than June 1, 2006, the Company shall have the option to
          redeem 300,000 shares of Series AA for a payment of $1,500,000 or to
