Measurement Period (the "Additional Shares Market Value"); provided, that the
--------
maximum number of Additional Shares payable to the Seller hereunder shall be the
number of Additional Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing

Additional Shares will be delivered to the Seller within 90 days of the last day
of the Measurement Period; provided further, that in the event the Additional
-------- -------
Shares Market Value is greater than $14.00 then Seller may at its sole
option receive either (A) the number of Additional Shares calculated as provided

(x) 3.65 times (y) the excess, if any, of (I) the Net Income of the Center for
the Measurement Period greater than (II) $450,000, such cash Additional
Consideration not to exceed $1,850,000. Solely for the purposes of calculating
Net Income hereunder and notwithstanding GAAP to the contrary, (i) only the
revenues of and expenses properly allocated to the Center will be included in
the calculation provided that, no general corporate overhead expenses of MRI
--------
shall be deducted from
-4-
the revenues of the Center in calculating Net Income (it being understood that,
for this calculation only, those expenses that exceed by more than ten percent
comparable expenses at the diagnostic imaging center operated by Buyer's
affiliate in St. Petersburg, Florida will not be deemed to be properly
allocated), (ii) goodwill in the amount of $2,000,000 associated with the Center
will be amortized over a period of twenty years, (iii) the calculation shall be
made without giving effect to any subsequent refinancing of any equipment and
leasehold improvement loan (iv) if the Buyer should at any time purchase the

Buyer, it being understood that each obligation to pay any such amount
constitutes the direct and primary obligation of MRI.
(d) Allocation of Purchase Price. The Seller and Buyer agree to allocate
----------------------------
the consideration paid hereunder in accordance with IRC Section 1060. Buyer and
the Seller shall use reasonably diligent efforts to agree to such allocation by

legality, validity or propriety of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
on the business of MRI and its subsidiaries taken as whole, which would suspend
or disqualify trading of the MRI Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market or
which would cause the SEC to refuse to review the registration statement to be
filed pursuant to Section 1.8.

not at the time they were filed, or will not at the time they are filed, contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The outstanding shares of MRI Common Stock are duly qualified for

8.1 Confidentiality. (a) Prior to and immediately after the Closing, no
---------------
party to this Agreement shall directly or indirectly make or cause to be made
any public announcement or disclosure, or issue any notice with respect to this

the other parties hereto, except for any disclosure or notice required, based
upon the advice of MRI's counsel, to be made by MRI, including, but not limited
to a press release announcing the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
In the event this Agreement terminates without the purchase and sale of the

and Agents will (i) hold in confidence and refrain from using all non-public
information received in connection with the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement, and (ii) promptly return all such non-public information and any and
all copies thereof to the party to which such information relates. The Seller
and the Stockholder acknowledge that the MRI Common Stock is publicly traded and
agree to refrain from using non-public information regarding this transaction in
connection with the purchase or sale of such securities.
(b) During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending five years
from the date hereof, neither the Seller or Stockholder nor any Affiliate of the
Seller or Stockholder shall disclose intentionally to anyone, or use or
otherwise exploit for the benefit of the Seller or Stockholder or any Affiliate
of the Seller or Stockholder, or for the benefit of anyone other than Buyer or

Entities relating to the Business or the Center, including, without limitation,
any trade secrets, customer lists, details of client or consultant contracts,

valuable, and whether or not in
-31-
written or tangible form, and including all memoranda, notes, plans, reports,
records, documents and other evidence thereof (all such information, documents
and materials being hereinafter called "Confidential Information").
------------------------
(c) The foregoing notwithstanding, the term "Confidential Information"
does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to,
(i) information that becomes generally available to the public, other than as a
result of a disclosure by the Seller or Stockholder or any Affiliate of the
Seller or Stockholder or any agent or other representative thereof, and (ii)
business know-how, marketing and development techniques and technical methods
applicable to diagnostic imaging businesses generally. Neither the Seller or
Stockholder nor any Affiliate of the Seller or Stockholder shall have any
obligation hereunder to keep confidential any Confidential Information if and to
the extent disclosure of any thereof is required by law, and the Seller or
Stockholder or any Affiliate of the Seller or Stockholder concerned shall
provide Buyer with prompt notice of such requirement, prior to making any
disclosure, so that the Buyer may seek an appropriate protective or restrictive
order.
(d) At the request of Buyer, the Seller and Stockholder agree to deliver
to Buyer, at any time during the term of this Agreement, all Confidential
Information which any of them may possess or control.
8.2 Non-Competition/Noninterference. During the period commencing on the
-------------------------------
date hereof and ending five years from the date hereof, neither the Seller or
Stockholder nor any Affiliate of the Seller or Stockholder shall, directly or
indirectly:
(a) anywhere within a twenty-five (25) mile radius of the Center own,
manage, operate, advise (whether or not for compensation), control, or invest or
acquire an interest in any business, or otherwise engage or participate in,
whether as a proprietor, partner, stockholder, director, officer, Key Employee,
joint venturer, lender, advisor, consultant, investor or other participant, in
any business (a "Competitive Business") which competes, directly or indirectly,
with the Business of the Center; or
-32-
(b) solicit, induce or influence any customer, supplier, or any other
person or entity which has a business relationship with Buyer to discontinue or
reduce the extent of such relationship with Buyer; or
(c) (i) recruit, solicit or otherwise induce or influence any employee of
Buyer to discontinue such employment with Buyer or any radiologist who, at the
time has a business relationship with Buyer, from discontinuing such
relationship with Buyer, or (ii) employ or seek to employ, or cause any
Competitive Business or permit any Competitive Business to employ or seek to
employ, any person who is then (or was at any time within six months prior to
the date the Seller, the Stockholder or any Affiliate of Seller or Stockholder
or the Competitive Business employs or seeks to employ such person) employed by
Buyer.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 8.2 will
not be deemed breached because the Seller or the Stockholder or any Affiliate of
the Seller or Stockholder beneficially owns, in the aggregate, not more than 5%
of the outstanding common stock of a corporation, if, at the time of its
acquisition by the Seller, Stockholder or Affiliate, such stock is listed on a
national securities exchange, is reported on Nasdaq or is regularly traded in
the over-the-counter market by a member of a national securities exchange.
8.3 Breaches of Article 8. In the event that the Seller, Stockholder or
---------------------
any Affiliate of the Seller or Stockholder shall breach any of the provisions of
this Article 8, or in the event that any such breach is threatened by such
parties, in addition to and without limiting or waiving any other remedies
available to Buyer at law or in equity, Buyer shall be entitled to immediate
injunctive relief in any courts having the capacity to grant such relief, to
restrain any such breach or threatened breach and to enforce the provisions of
this Article 8. The Seller and Stockholder acknowledge and agree that there is
no adequate remedy at law for any such breach or threatened breach and, in the
event that any action or proceeding is brought seeking injunctive relief, the
Seller and the Stockholder shall not use as a defense thereto that there is an
adequate remedy at law.

---------------------------------------
Stockholder, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer

(a) claims, suits, actions, proceedings (formal and informal),

agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and Stockholder and their
successors and assigns and its partners, controlling Persons (if any),
employees, attorneys, agents,
-34-
Affiliates, partners (including the Seller and Stockholder, the "Seller
Indemnitees") against and in respect of any and all:
(a) claims, suits, actions, proceedings (formal and informal),
investigations, judgments, deficiencies, damages, settle ments, liabilities,
losses, costs and legal and other expenses arising out of or based upon (i) any
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Buyer or MRI

Buyer or MRI hereunder or in connection herewith and (ii) the Assumed
Liabilities pursuant to Section 1.4 of this Agreement; and
(b) claims, suits, actions and proceedings (formal and informal) of Persons
not a party to this Agreement and related investigations, judgments,

other expenses arising from events occurring after the Closing Date relating to
the Purchased Assets or the operation or conduct of the Business except to the
extent that same results from the breach of any representation or warranty of
Stockholder or the Seller hereunder.
9.3 Defense of Claims. Any Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee (the
-----------------
"Indemnified Party") seeking indemnification under this Agreement shall give to
the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the
"Indemnitor") a notice (a "Claim Notice") describing in reasonable detail the
facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder promptly upon
learning of the existence of such claim. Upon receipt by the Indemnitor of a
Claim Notice from an Indemnified Party with respect to any claim of a third
party, such Indemnitor may assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and, in such event, shall agree to pay and
otherwise discharge with the Indemnitor's own assets all judgments,
deficiencies, damages, settlements, liabilities, losses, costs and legal and
other expenses related thereto; and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the
defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and
testimony and attend all such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings,
trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. If
the Indemnitor does not assume the defense thereof, the Indemnitor shall
similarly cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense or prosecution.
The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense or
prosecution of any lawsuit with
-35-
respect to which the Indemnitor has assumed the defense and to employ its own
counsel therein, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnitor shall not have
promptly employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to
take charge of the defense of such action or (ii) such Indemnified Party shall
have reasonably concluded that there exists a significant conflict of interest
with respect to the conduct of such Indemnified Party's defense by the
Indemnitor, in either of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by
the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor shall not have the right to direct the defense
of any such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnitor shall have
the right, in its sole discretion, to settle any claim solely for monetary
damages for which indemnification has been sought and is available hereunder,
provided that the Indemnitor shall not agree to the settlement of any claim
which constitutes the subject of a Claim Notice which settlement in the
reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party would have an adverse continuing
effect on the business of the Indemnified Party without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall give written
notice to the Indemnitor of any proposed settlement of any suit, which
settlement the Indemnitor may, if it shall have assumed the defense of the suit,
reject in its reasonable judgment within 10 days of receipt of such notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay
or settle any suit for which indemnification has been sought and is available
hereunder, provided that, if the defense of such claim shall have been assumed
by the Indemnitor, the Indemni fied Party shall automatically be deemed to have
waived any right to indemnification hereunder.
9.4 Right of Buyer to Setoff Future Payments. Without limiting such other
----------------------------------------
rights as the Buyer Indemnitees may have, if, after the Closing Date but prior
to the time the entire Seller Additional Compensation, if any, is delivered to
the Seller, Buyer has learned of a breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant, or agreement of the Seller contained in this Agreement, Buyer in its
discretion may upon prior written notice to the Seller, set-off from that
portion of the balance of the Seller Additional Compensation, if any, then due,
the amount subject to indemnification by the Seller, provided, that any such
--------
setoff shall not affect the Seller's right to contest the basis for such setoff.
