breach of this Agreement by the Company, and the Executive, the executors or
administrators of the Executive's estate or the Executive's heirs or legatees,
as the case may be, shall not be entitled to any other compensation, damages or

V. CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE EXECUTIVE
SECTION 5.01. COVENANTS AGAINST UNFAIR COMPETITION. The Executive

capacity; provided, however, that the Executive may own, directly or indirectly,
solely as an investment, 5% of securities of any entity which are traded on any
national securities exchange if the Executive neither (x) is a controlling
person of, or a member of a group which controls, such entity nor (y) owns,
directly or indirectly, one or more of any class
5
of securities of such entity. The parties acknowledge that in California and
some states post-employment non-compete clauses may be generally unenforceable,

(i) For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall mean
(i) all of the Company's financial statements and related financial data and
(ii) any other trade secrets, proprietary information or other information

of such Confidential Information or permit the use or exploitation in any
fashion of any such Confidential Information by any other person or entity;

disclose particular Confidential Information pursuant to governmental process,
as indicated in a written opinion of counsel to the Executive reasonably
satisfactory to the Company which is delivered to the Company, and (b) the
foregoing confidentiality and exploitation restrictions shall not apply to any
particular Confidential Information if and to the extent that such information
becomes generally known and available to the public otherwise than in connection
with a disclosure or communication of such information by the Executive. The
Executive acknowledges and agrees that all Confidential Information, and all
copies thereof, are the sole and exclusive property of the Company. The
Executive agrees that, on the date of her termination of employment, she shall

in part and alone or with others, or in any way coming into her possession
concerning the business or other affairs of the Company or any of its
affiliates, shall be the property of the Company or any such affiliates, and no
copies thereof shall be retained by the Executive after termination thereof for
any reason.

be hereafter amended from time to time, all right, title and interest of the
Executive in and to any and all ideas, inventions, discoveries, secret processes
and methods and improvements, together with any and all patents that may be
issued thereon in the United States and in all foreign countries, which the
Executive may invent, develop or improve, or cause to be invented, developed or
improved, during the term of this Agreement or, in the event that the
Executive's employment is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.03
hereof, during the 12-month period commencing on the date of termination, which
are (i) conceived and developed during normal working hours, and (ii) which are
related to the scope of the Company's Business or are related to any work
carried on by the Company or are related to any projects specifically assigned
to the Executive. As used in this Agreement, the term "invent" includes "make,"
"discover," "develop," "manufacture" or "produce," or any of them; "invention"
includes the phrase "any new or useful original art, machine, methods of
manufacture, process, composition of matter, design, or configuration of any

foreign country and the assignment thereof to the Company and its affiliates or
its nominee(s).
(e) No Solicitation of Customers or Employees. As provided above in
subparagraph (b)(i), the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the identity and
location of the Company's customers and the positions, duties and terms of
employment of the Company's and its subsidiaries' employees constitute
Confidential Information of the Company. The Executive agrees that during any
period that the Executive is receiving compensation from the Company pursuant to
Section 4.06 hereof or for a period of twelve (12) months after the Executive's
termination of employment, whichever is later, she shall not, directly or
indirectly, solicit, entice, divert or otherwise contact or attempt to solicit,
entice, divert or otherwise contact any customer or employee of the Company, for
any provision of services which constitute Company Business.

SECTION 5.02. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON BREACH. If the Executive breaches,
or threatens to breach, in any material respect any of the provisions of Section
5.01 hereof (hereinafter referred to as the "Restrictive Covenants"), the
Company shall, in addition to all its other rights hereunder and under
applicable law and in equity, have the right and remedy, to have the Restrictive
Covenants specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, including,
without limitation, the granting of a preliminary injunction which may be
granted without the necessity of proving damages or the posting of a bond or
other security, it being acknowledged that any such breach or threatened breach
will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not
provide an adequate remedy to the Company. In addition to and not in lieu of any
other remedy that the Company may have pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise,
in the event of any breach of any provision of Section 5.01 during the period
during which the Executive is entitled to receive payments and benefits pursuant
to Section 4.06, such period shall terminate as of the date of such breach and
the Executive shall not thereafter be entitled to receive any salary or other
payments under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any stock options
granted to the Executive.
SECTION 5.03. SEVERABILITY OF COVENANTS. If any court of competent
jurisdiction determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part
thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants
shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to
the invalid portions.
SECTION 5.04. BLUE-PENCILING. The Company and the Executive agree and
acknowledge that the duration, scope and geographic area of the Restrictive
Covenants are fair, reasonable and necessary in order to protect the good will
and other legitimate interests of the Company, that adequate consideration has
been received by the Executive for such obligations, and that these obligations
do not prevent the Executive from earning a livelihood. If any court of
competent jurisdiction construes any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part
thereof, to be unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such
provision or otherwise, such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum
extent required to make it enforceable and, in its reduced form, such provision
shall then be enforceable and enforced.
SECTION 5.05. ENFORCEABILITY IN JURISDICTION. Notwithstanding Section
7.08, the parties hereto hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive
Covenants upon the courts of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of
such Restrictive Covenants. If the courts of any one or more of such
jurisdictions hold the Restrictive Covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of
their duration, geographic scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the
parties that such determination not bar or in any way affect the Company's right
to the relief provided herein in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the
geographical scope of such Restrictive Covenants as to breaches of such
Restrictive Covenants in such other jurisdiction, such Restrictive Covenants as
they relate to each jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse
and independent covenants.

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT entered into as of the ___ day of ________, 2001 by and between
InSight Health Services Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
and the undersigned employee (the "Employee") of the Company or one of its
subsidiaries.
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant the Employee a nonqualified stock
option to acquire shares of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per
share ("Common Stock"); and
WHEREAS, the Employee desires to accept such option subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants and agreements contained herein, the Company and the Employee,
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Grant of Option. As of the Effective Time (as defined in the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 29, 2001, by and among the
Company, JWCH Merger Corp. and InSight Health Services Corp.) (the "Grant
Date"), the Company grants to the Employee a nonqualified stock option (the
"Option") to purchase all (or any part) of _____________ shares of Common Stock
(the "Shares") on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. This Option is
not intended to be treated as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
2. Exercise Price. The exercise price ("Exercise Price") for the Shares
covered by the Option shall be $18.00* per share.
3. Vesting and Exercisability. Twenty percent (20%) of the total Option
set forth in Section 1 shall be available for vesting each fiscal year during
the Company's 2002-2006 fiscal years as follows: (A) twenty-five percent (25%)
of the number of available Options for each such fiscal year shall vest and
become exercisable upon the anniversary of the Grant Date in such fiscal year
and (B) seventy-five percent (75%) of the number of available Options for each
such fiscal year shall vest and become exercisable upon the Company's attainment
of the performance goals set forth on Schedule I attached hereto and
incorporated herein. In the event the Employee is employed by the Company or one
of its subsidiaries at the time a Change in Control (as defined below) occurs,
all of the Options (to the extent not already vested) which are to vest over
time pursuant to clause (A) above shall vest immediately prior to the Change in
Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any of the Options which
may vest pursuant to
----------
* Intended to be the subscription price for all stockholders who subscribe
as of the Effective Time. Currently anticipated to be $18.00 per share.
15
clause (B) above do not vest in accordance with Schedule I
by the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Grant Date, they shall be deemed to vest
on such date.
4. Term of Options.
(a) Each Option shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the
Grant Date, but shall be subject to earlier termination as provided in
subsections (b) and (c) below.
(b) If the Employee is terminated for Cause (as defined in
Schedule II hereto) or voluntarily terminates his employment with the
Company at any time without Good Reason (as defined in Schedule II), the
Option shall terminate on the date of such termination of employment,
whether or not then fully vested and exercisable.
(c) If the Employee is terminated by the Company without
Cause, resigns for Good Reason, dies, or becomes Disabled (as defined in
Schedule II) at any time during the term of his employment by the Company,
any portion of the Option that is not then fully vested and exercisable
shall terminate immediately, provided, however, that the board of
directors of the Company (the "Board") shall have the discretion to vest
any portion of such Employee's Options that have not yet become eligible
to vest, and any such accelerated Options shall be subject to the same
terms and conditions as other Options that have vested pursuant to Section
3. Any portion of the Option that is vested and exercisable shall
terminate on the 120th day following such termination of employment.
5. Manner of Exercise of Option.
(a) The Employee may exercise any Option that is fully
vested and exercisable by giving written notice to the Company stating the
number of Shares (which shall not be less than 100, unless the total
Shares which are vested and exercisable at such time is less than 100) to
be purchased and accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price for
such Shares. Payment shall be either in cash or by a certified or bank
cashier's check or checks payable to the Company.
At any time when Common Stock is registered under Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Option may also be exercised by
means of a "broker cashless exercise" procedure approved in all respects in
advance by the Board, in which a broker: (i) transmits the Exercise Price for
any Shares to the Company in cash or acceptable cash equivalents, either (1)
against the Employee's notice of exercise and the Company's confirmation that it
will deliver to the broker stock certificates issued in the name of the broker
for at least that number of
16
Shares having a fair market value equal to the Exercise Price therefor, or (2)
as the proceeds of a margin loan to the Employee; or (ii) agrees to pay the
Exercise Price therefor to the Company in cash or acceptable cash equivalents
upon the broker's receipt from the Company of stock certificates issued in the
name of the broker for at least that number of Shares having a fair market value
equal to the Exercise Price therefor. The Employee's written notice of exercise
of the Option pursuant to a "cashless exercise" procedure must include the name
and address of the broker involved, a clear description of the procedure, and
such other information or undertaking by the broker as the Board shall
reasonably require. If payment is to be made in whole or in part in Shares
underlying the Option, the Employee shall direct the Company to subtract from
the number of Shares underlying the Option, that number of Shares having a fair
market value (as determined in good faith by the Board) equal to the purchase
price (or portion thereof) to be paid with such underlying Shares.
Upon such purchase, delivery of a certificate for paid-up,
non-assessable Shares shall be made at the principal office of the Company to
the Employee (or the person entitled to exercise the Option pursuant to Section
7), not more than 10 days from the date of receipt of the notice by the Company.
(b) The Company shall at all times during the term of the
Option reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Option.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 5(a) of this Agreement, the
Company may delay the issuance of Shares covered by the Option and the
delivery of a certificate for such Shares until one of the following
conditions is satisfied: (i) the Shares purchased pursuant to the Option
are at the time of the issuance of such Shares effectively registered or
qualified under applicable federal and state securities laws or (ii) such
Shares are exempt from registration and qualification under applicable
federal and state securities laws.
6. Administration. This Agreement shall be administered by the Board.
The Board shall be authorized to interpret this Agreement and to make all other
determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Agreement.
The determinations of the Board in the administration of this Agreement, as
described herein, shall be final and conclusive. The Secretary shall be
authorized to implement this Agreement in accordance with its terms and to take
such actions of a ministerial nature as shall be necessary to effectuate the
intent and purposes thereof.
7. Non-Transferability. The right of the Employee to exercise the
Option (as and when vested) shall not be assignable or transferable by the
Employee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and
such Shares may be purchased during the lifetime of the Employee only by him (or
his legal representative in the event that he is Disabled). Any other such
transfer shall be null and void and without effect upon any attempted assignment
or transfer, except as hereinabove provided, including without limitation any
purported assignment, whether voluntary or by operation of law, pledge,
hypothecation or other disposition contrary to the provisions hereof, or levy of
execution, attachment, trustee process or similar process, whether legal or
equitable, upon the Option.
17
8. Representation Letter and Investment Legend.
(a) In the event that for any reason the Shares to be issued
upon exercise of a vested Option shall not be effectively registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), upon any date on
which the Option is exercised, the Employee (or the person exercising the
Option pursuant to Section 7) shall give a written representation to the
Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the Company shall
place the legend described on Exhibit A, upon any certificate for the
Shares issued by reason of such exercise.
(b) The Company shall be under no obligation to qualify
Shares or to cause a registration statement or a post-effective amendment
to any registration statement to be prepared for the purposes of covering
the issue of Shares; provided, that the Company will use its reasonable
best efforts to comply with any available exemption from registration and
qualification of the Shares under applicable federal and state securities
laws.
9. Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization.
(a) In the event that the outstanding shares of the Common
Stock of the Company are changed into or exchanged for a different number
or kind of shares or other securities of the Company or of another
corporation by reason of any reorganization, merger, consolidation,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares,
or dividends payable in capital stock, appropriate adjustment shall be
made in the number and kind of Shares, and the Exercise Price therefor, as
to which the Option, to the extent not theretofore exercised, shall be
exercisable.
In addition, unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole
discretion, in the case of a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) of the
Company, the purchaser(s) of the Company's assets or stock may, in his, her or
its discretion, deliver to the Employee, to the extent that the right to
purchase Shares under the Option has vested, the same kind of consideration (net
of the Exercise Price for such Shares) that is delivered to the stockholders of
the Company as a result of the Change in Control, or the Board may, in its sole
determination, cancel the Option, to the extent not theretofore exercised, in
exchange for consideration in cash or in kind, which consideration in either
case shall be equal in value to the value of those shares of stock or other
consideration the Employee would have received had the Option been exercised (to
the extent it has vested and not been exercised) and no disposition of the
shares acquired upon such exercise been made prior to the Change in Control,
less the Exercise Price therefor. Upon receipt of such consideration by the
Employee, the Option shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and
effect, with respect to both vested and nonvested portions thereof. The value of
the stock or other securities the Employee would have received if the Option had
been exercised shall be determined in good faith by the Board. In addition, in
the case of a Change in Control, the Board may, in its sole discretion,
accelerate the vesting of all or any portion of the Option that would remain
unvested after the application of the accelerated vesting on Schedule I
18
and Section 3 hereto. A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if
(i) any person, or any two or more persons acting as a group, and all affiliates
of such person or persons (a "Group") who prior to such time beneficially owned
less than 50% of the then outstanding capital stock of the Company shall acquire
shares of the Company's capital stock in one or more transactions or series of
transactions, including by merger, and after such transaction or transactions
such person or Group and affiliates beneficially own 50% or more of the
Company's outstanding capital stock, or (ii) the Company shall sell all or
substantially all of its assets to any Group which, immediately prior to the
time of such transaction, beneficially owned less than 50% of the then
outstanding capital stock of the Company.
(b) Upon dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the
Option shall terminate, but the Employee shall have the right, immediately
prior to such dissolution or liquidation, to exercise any then vested
Options.
(c) No fraction of a share of Common Stock shall be
purchasable or deliverable upon the exercise of the Option, but in the
event any adjustment hereunder of the number of shares covered by the
Option shall cause such number to include a fraction of a share, such
fraction shall be adjusted to the nearest smaller whole number of shares.
10. No Special Employment Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be construed or deemed by any person under any circumstances to bind
the Company or any of its subsidiaries to continue the employment of the
Employee for the period within which this Option may vest or for any other
period.
11. Rights as a Stockholder. The Employee shall have no rights as a
stockholder with respect to any Shares which may be purchased upon the vesting
of this Option unless and until a certificate or certificates representing such
Shares are duly issued and delivered to the Employee. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other
rights for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is
issued.
12. Withholding Taxes. The Employee hereby agrees, as a condition to any
exercise of the Option, to provide to the Company an amount sufficient to
satisfy its obligation to withhold certain federal, state and local taxes
arising by reason of such exercise (the "Withholding Amount"), if any, by (a)
authorizing the Company to withhold the Withholding Amount from his cash
compensation, or (b) remitting the Withholding Amount to the Company in cash;
provided that, to the extent that the Withholding Amount is not provided by one
or a combination of such methods, the Company may at its election withhold from
the Shares delivered upon exercise of the Option that number of Shares having a
fair market value (in the good faith judgment of the Board) equal to the
Withholding Amount.
13. Execution of Stockholders' Agreement. The Employee acknowledges that
he has previously executed and delivered the stockholders agreement by and among
the Company and the stockholders of the Company named therein (the "Stockholders
Agreement"). The Employee further agrees that this Agreement, the Option and all
Shares acquired by him upon exercise of
19
the Option will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Stockholders
Agreement, as the same may have been amended or modified in accordance with its
terms.
14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Delaware, without regard to any conflicts of law principles thereof
that would call for the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any
action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right
arising out of, this Agreement may be brought against either of the parties in
the courts of the State of Delaware, or if it has or can acquire jurisdiction,
in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of
the parties hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the
appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any
objection to venue laid therein. Process in any action or proceeding referred to
in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere in the world,
whether within or without the State of Delaware.

SCHEDULE I
OPTION PERFORMANCE VESTING SCHEDULE
(a) For each of the Company's fiscal years ending June 30 in the years
2002 through 2006, the portion of the total Option described in clause (B) of
Section 3 of the Agreement shall vest and become exercisable if the Company
achieves a return on equity ("XXX") for such year that equals or exceeds the
following Base Targets:
Base Target 90% of Base Target
----------- ------------------
2002 1.11 1.00
2003 2.40 2.16
2004 3.50 3.15
2005 5.00 4.50
2006 6.50 5.85
If the Company achieves more than 90% but less than 100% of the Base Target XXX
in any fiscal year, the Options available to vest in that year shall vest in the
ratio by which XXX achieved exceeds 90% of Base Target XXX for such fiscal year
(i.e., for XXX of 90.5% of Base Target XXX, one-twentieth of the available
Options would vest; for XXX of 96%, six-tenths of the available Options would
vest).
For purposes hereof, XXX for any fiscal year shall be calculated by the
following formula: [(5.25 x EBITDA) - D+C]/TE where
D = the Company's Consolidated Indebtedness at fiscal year-end (or
at time of sale of the Company)
C = the Company's Excess Cash at fiscal year-end (or at time of sale
of the Company)
TE = total equity invested as of the Effective Time (including the
net pre-tax value of any options rolled over as of the
Effective Time)
EBITDA = EBITDA for such fiscal year
If TE is increased at any time after the Effective Time and during the
Company's fiscal years ending on June 30 in the years 2002 through 2006, the
Board, in good faith, shall adjust the Base Targets. The Options available for
vesting shall vest, if the Targets are met, upon completion of the audit for the
Company and its subsidiaries' consolidated financial statements for such fiscal
year.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the fiscal year ending June 30,
2006, (1) the percentage of Options available to vest that do vest exceeds (2)
the cumulative percentage of Options available to vest in the fiscal years
ending June 30 in the years 2002-2005 that did vest
SCHEDULE I-1
in those years, the vesting percentage achieved in fiscal year ending June 30,
2006 shall be carried back to the fiscal years ending June 30 in the years
2002-2005 and applied to the Options available to vest in those fiscal years.
The number of vested Options for the fiscal years ending on June 30 in the years
2002 through 2005 shall be adjusted to reflect such higher percentage.
(c) (1) In the event a Change in Control of the Company occurs before the
end of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, the Base Target for the year in
which the Change in Control occurs and the above formula will be modified as
follows:
- the Base Target for such year will be adjusted to be an amount
determined by adding to the Base Target for the fiscal year immediately prior to
the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs an amount equal to the
product of (i) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that
elapsed since the first day of the fiscal year in which the Change in Control
occurs until the date of the consummation of the Change in Control and the
denominator of which is 365 and (ii) the difference between the Base Target for
the year in which the Change in Control occurs and the Base Target for the
immediately preceding fiscal year.
- the formula for determining XXX at the time of the Change in
Control will be adjusted by using EBITDA for the 12 full calendar months
immediately preceding the date of the Change in Control so that the multiple of
EBITDA used will be the greater of 5.25 and the multiple used in determining the
Company's enterprise value in the Change in Control.
(2) The percentage of Options that vest in accordance with the formula as
so modified will then be applied to fiscal years preceding and following the
year in which the Change in Control occurs and the number of vested Options
shall be adjusted to reflect such percentage; provided that, if the cumulative
percentage of Options that vested in the fiscal years preceding the Change in
Control exceeds the percentage that vest in the fiscal year of the Change in
Control pursuant to the modified formula, the cumulative percentage of Options
that vested prior to the Change in Control will instead be applied to the fiscal
years that follow the Change in Control.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event X.X. Childs Equity
Partners II, L.P., Halifax Capital Partners, L.P. and their respective
affiliates each receive a net cash return on their total investment in the
Company resulting (i) in an internal rate of return of at least 35% on their
total investment in the Company and (ii) in an amount of cash equal to at least
three times their respective total investment in the Company, then one-third of
the total Options described in clause (B) of Section 3 of the Agreement (i.e.,
25% of the total Option set forth in Section 1 of the Agreement) shall vest and
become exercisable. This vesting provision is not intended to be additive to the
preceding provisions, but is intended to be in the alternative.
For purposes of this Schedule I, the following terms have the following
meanings:
"Consolidated Indebtedness" shall mean, as of any date, the aggregate
amount outstanding, on a consolidated basis, of (a) all obligations of the
Company or its subsidiaries for borrowed money, (b) all obligations of the
Company or its subsidiaries evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other
similar instruments or upon which interest charges are customarily
SCHEDULE I-2
paid, (c) all obligations of the Company or its subsidiaries for the deferred
purchase price of property or services, except current accounts payable arising
in the ordinary course of business and not overdue beyond such period as is
commercially reasonable for the Company or its subsidiaries' business, (d) all
obligations of the Company or its subsidiaries under conditional sale or other
title retention agreements relating to property purchased by such Person and all
capitalized lease obligations, (e) all payment obligations of the Company or its
subsidiaries on or for currency protection agreements, (f) all obligations of
the Company or its subsidiaries as an account party under any letter of credit
(excluding those supporting trade payables), (g) all obligations of any third
party secured by property or assets of the Company or its subsidiaries
(regardless of whether or not such Person is liable for repayment of such
obligations) and (h) all guarantees of the Company or its subsidiaries.
"EBITDA" shall mean consolidated earnings of the Company and its
subsidiaries, including equity in the earnings from non-consolidated
subsidiaries, before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and the
management fees paid to X.X. Childs Associates, L.P. and The Halifax Group,
L.L.C. or any of their respective affiliates and after deduction of all
operating expenses, minority interest expenses and incentive compensation, all
as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied, as reflected in the Company's consolidated financial
statements. For purposes of calculating EBITDA, upon the Company making an
acquisition or disposition of any assets or business, the Board, in good faith,
shall adjust EBITDA for any fiscal year to include or exclude on a pro forma
basis, as applicable, the EBITDA for such assets or business for the period of
time the assets or business are not owned by the Company for the fiscal year in
which the assets or business are acquired or sold.
"Excess Cash" shall mean cash in excess of the Company and its
subsidiaries' operating needs, in the good faith judgment of the Board.

SCHEDULE II-2
EXHIBIT A
TO STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Gentlemen:
In connection with the purchase by me of ___________________ shares of
common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of InSight Health Services Holdings
Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") under the nonqualified stock
option granted to me pursuant to that certain Stock Option Agreement dated as of
June ____, 2001 (the "Option Agreement"), I hereby acknowledge that I have been
informed as follows:
EXHIBIT A-1
1. The shares of common stock of the Company to be issued
to me upon exercise of said option have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and accordingly,
must be held indefinitely unless such shares are subsequently
registered under the Act, or an exemption from such registration is
available.
2. Routine sales of securities made in reliance upon Rule
144 under the Act can be made only after the holding period and in
limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions provided
by that Rule, and with respect to which that Rule is not applicable,
registration or compliance with some other exemption under the Act
will be required.
3. The Company is under no obligation to me to register the
shares or to comply with any such exemptions under the Act, other
than as set forth in the Stockholders' Agreement referenced and
defined in paragraph 13 of the Option Agreement (the "Stockholders
Agreement").
4. The availability of Rule 144 is dependent upon adequate
current public information with respect to the Company being
available and, at the time that I may desire to make a sale pursuant
to the Rule, the Company may neither wish nor be able to comply with
such requirement.
5. The shares of common stock of the Company to be issued
to me upon the exercise of said option are subject to the terms and
conditions, including restrictions on transfer, of the Stockholders
Agreement.
In consideration of the issuance of certificates for the shares to me, I
hereby represent and warrant that I am acquiring such shares for my own account
for investment, and that I will not sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise
transfer such shares in the absence of an effective registration statement
covering the same, except as permitted by an applicable exemption under the Act.
In view of this representation and warranty, I agree that there may be affixed
to the certificates for the shares to be issued to me, and to all certificates
issued hereafter representing such shares (until in the opinion of counsel,
which opinion must be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to counsel
for the Company, it is no longer necessary or required) a legend as follows:
"The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and may not be
sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated in the
absence of an effective registration statement as to the securities under
the Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and its
counsel that such registration is not required."
"The securities represented by this certificate are subject to the terms
and conditions, including restrictions on transfer, of a Stockholders'
Agreement among the Company and its stockholders dated as of ____________,
as amended from time to time, a copy of which is on file at the principal
office of the Company."
EXHIBIT A-2
I further agree that the Company may place a stop order with its transfer
agent, prohibiting the transfer of such shares, so long as the legend remains on
the certificates representing the shares.
I hereby represent and warrant that: My financial situation is such that I
can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the shares issued to me upon
exercise of said option for an indefinite period of time, I have no need for
liquidity with respect to my investment and have adequate means to provide for
my current needs and personal contingencies, and can afford to suffer the
complete loss of my investment in such shares.
(a) I am an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule
501 under the Act and I, either alone or with my purchaser
representative (as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Act)
have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
that I am capable of evaluating the merits and risks of my
investment in the shares issued to me upon exercise of said option.
(b) I have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions
of, and to receive answers from, the Company and its representatives
