Buyer or any MRI Group Entity or any radiologist who, at the time has a business
relationship with Buyer or any MRI Group Entity, from discontinuing such
relationship with Buyer or an MRI Group Entity, 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 employed by Buyer or any MRI
Group Entity.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 8.2
will not be deemed breached merely because either Seller, Stockholder or
Executive beneficially own, in the aggregate, not more than 5% of the
outstanding common stock of a corporation, if, at the time of its acquisition by
either Sellers, Stockholder or Executive, such stock is listed on a national
-55-
securities exchange, is reported on Nasdaq, or is traded in the over-the-counter
market by a member of a national securities exchange.
(e) Sellers, Stockholder and Executive acknowledge and agree that in
the event of any breach or likely breach of any of the covenants of Article 8
herein, the Buyer and any relevant Affiliate would incur damages in an amount
difficult to ascertain and/or be irreparably harmed and could not be made whole
solely by monetary damages. It is accordingly agreed that such persons, in
addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity,
shall be entitled to injunctive relief in respect of such breach or likely
breach as may be ordered by any court of competent jurisdiction including, but
not limited to, an injunction restraining any violation of Article 8 herein and
without the proof of actual damages.
(f) Sellers, Stockholder and Executive acknowledge and agree that the
covenants and other provisions set forth in Article 8 herein are reasonable,
including with respect to duration and subject matter, and that they are
receiving valuable and adequate consideration for such covenants under this
Agreement. The parties acknowledge that it is their intention that all such
covenants and
-56-
provisions be enforceable to the fullest extent possible under applicable law.
If any of the provisions set forth in this Article 8 are found to be
unenforceable in any instance, such finding or invalidity shall not effect the
enforceability of any remaining provision and such unenforceable provision to
the specific extent that it is unenforceable, shall be interpreted to extend
only over the maximum period of time and to the maximum extent as to the which
it is enforceable, in order to effectuate the parties' intention, as represented
hereby, to the greatest extent possible.

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
-60-
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 respect to which the Indemnitor has
assumed the defense and to employ its own counsel therein, but the fees and
expenses of such
-61-
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.
-62-
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.
