Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


    OptiCare Health Systems, Inc. (“OptiCare”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Refac Optical Group, a Delaware corporation (“Refac” or the “Company”), has entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), dated as of April 24, 2006, with OptiCare Managed Vision, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Centene Corporation (“Centene”) formed for the purposes of the acquisition contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, and the Acquired Companies (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Centene will acquire the managed vision business of OptiCare, which contracts with insurers, employer groups, managed care plans, HMOs and other third-party payors to manage claims payment and other administrative services of eye health benefits for those contracting parties (the “Managed Vision Business”). Excluded from the sale is the capital stock of Accountable Eye Care Associates, Inc. which manages one contact that accounted for revenues of $113,500 in 2005.
    
    The following is a summary of the Stock Purchase Agreement. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
 
    Centene will acquire the Managed Vision Business for $7,500,000, subject to a minimum net worth requirement of $500,000 at closing and certain other adjustments. Net worth is defined to mean assets (excluding intangible assets) minus liabilities, determined in accordance with GAAP. At the closing, the parties will enter into an escrow agreement, whereby $1,000,000 of the sales proceeds of the Managed Vision Business will be held for 12 months following the closing in connection with OptiCare's indemnification obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement. Such obligations are generally subject to a cap on liability of $1,000,000, subject to certain exceptions.
 
    The sale includes ownership of all rights in and to the OptiCare trademarks, corporate name, domain names and e-mail address pursuant to a license agreement to be executed by the parties at closing. Under the license, OptiCare will have a perpetual, royalty-free, exclusive right and license, with certain rights to sublicense, for use of the marks solely within Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine and Vermont and solely in connection with OptiCare’s consumer vision business. If Centene decides to permanently discontinue its use of the trademarks, it is required to assign them to OptiCare.
 
    At the closing, the parties will execute a transaction support agreement, whereby Refac and OptiCare will be restricted from engaging in a Competing Managed Vision Business (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) for a period of five years. Additionally, Refac will guarantee to Centene the complete payment and performance by OptiCare with respect to all of the obligations, representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and agreements of OptiCare contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement, but in no event shall the liability of Refac be greater than the liability of OptiCare in the Stock Purchase Agreement.
 
 


 
    Centene will provide to OptiCare’s Consumer Vision Business use and support for accounting software for a period of six months and website redirection for a period of one year, pursuant to a transition services agreement to be executed at closing.
 
    The sale is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including regulatory approvals and/or notifications and, the receipt of consents under certain contracts to which the Managed Vision Business is a party.
 
    The transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2006.
