THIS ASSET PURCHASE AND LIABILITIES ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (the
"AGREEMENT"), dated as of this 3rd day of January, 1997, is made by and among
Mobile Imaging Consortium, Limited Partnership, a Maine limited partnership
with an address of 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 ("MIC-ME"), and
Mobile Imaging Consortium-New Hampshire, a Maine general partnership with an
address of 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 ("MIC-NH") (MIC-ME and
MIC-NH shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as the "SELLERS"), and
InSight Health Corp., a Delaware corporation with an address of 0000
XxxXxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 ("BUYER").
WHEREAS, Sellers are engaged in providing diagnostic services to their
customers and own certain tangible and intangible assets, including mobile
diagnostic imaging equipment;
WHEREAS, Sellers desire to sell certain of their assets to Buyer, all as
set forth herein;
WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase certain assets and assume certain
liabilities (and only such specified assets and liabilities) of the Sellers,
all as set forth herein;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants as set
forth herein, and subject to the representations, warranties, and conditions
contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS. The recitals set forth above are
incorporated herein by reference.
2. SALE AND PURCHASE OF ASSETS. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, Sellers shall sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase
and acquire from Sellers, certain of the Sellers' assets, including the
Sellers' equipment, machinery, furnishing, fixtures, vehicle, computers,
software, inventory, trade names, copyrights, copyrighted materials,
telephone numbers, goodwill, contracts, leases, agreements, permits, and
licenses, a listing of which is set forth on Schedule A, attached hereto and
incorporated by reference (the "Assets"). Specifically excluded from this
Agreement and the purchase obligations herein are:
(a) the assets set forth on SCHEDULE B, attached hereto and incorporated
by reference; and
(b) all cash, cash equivalents, investment securities, property taxes
receivable, prepaid insurance premiums, tax refunds, and accounts
receivable owned by Sellers as of the Closing Date, as defined below
(the "CURRENT ASSETS").
3. ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES. Simultaneous with its purchase of the
Assets, Buyer shall assume the payment and performance of the obligations of
Sellers under the contracts, leases, and
agreements included among the Assets to be assumed by Buyer hereunder, which
contracts, leases, and agreements are listed on SCHEDULE C, attached hereto
and incorporated by reference. Buyer shall further assume payment of only
such other liabilities of Sellers as are specifically described on SCHEDULE
D, attached hereto and incorporated by reference. The foregoing described
liabilities shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as the "ASSUMED
LIABILITIES." Buyer shall not assume any liability or obligation for any
liability not specifically referred or scheduled herein, including any
liabilities with respect to Sellers' employees, employee benefit plans,
salaries, any unpaid overtime, accrued vacation time, back wages, associated
tax liabilities, or other benefits or obligations. Under no circumstances
shall Buyer assume or be deemed to have assumed any liability for unpaid
overtime, back wages, associated tax liabilities or other benefits arising
from or related to Seller's employment of any individual; provided that with
respect to Sellers' employees who become employees of Buyer as of the Closing
Date, if permitted under applicable law and Sellers' employment practices,
policies, and procedures, Buyer shall credit such employees for any accrued
vacation time and sick time, subject to advance reimbursement for said
obligations by Sellers in an amount to be determined and paid as of the
Closing Date.
4. PURCHASE PRICE. In addition to its assumption of the Assumed
Liabilities, Buyer shall pay to Sellers as consideration for their sale of
the Assets the sum of six million eight hundred thousand dollars ($6,800,000)
(the "PURCHASE PRICE"), to be allocated between MIC-ME and MIC-NH as set
forth on SCHEDULE E, attached hereto and incorporated by reference. The
Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:
(a) Twelve thousand five hundred dollars ($12,500) shall be deposited
with MIC-ME simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement (the
"MIC-ME DEPOSIT");
(b) Twelve thousand five hundred dollars ($12,500) shall be deposited
with MIC-NH simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement (the
"MIC-NH Deposit"); and
(c) the balance of the Purchase Price shall be paid at the Closing, as
defined below and as set forth below.
The MIC-ME Deposit and MIC-NH Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer in full
(without interest thereon) in the event that this Agreement (i) is terminated
because Buyer is unable, despite its good faith efforts, to timely obtain
Maine and New Hampshire Certificates of Need and any other regulatory
approvals necessary for the transaction prior to the Abandonment Date, as
defined in Section 8 herein; (ii) is terminated in accordance with Section 6
on or before the Due Diligence Termination Date (as defined in Section 6);
(iii) is terminated in accordance with Section 7; (iv) is terminated because
either of the Sellers are unable (for any reason other than the default of
Buyer) to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (v)
is terminated because Buyer's conditions to Closing set forth in Section 15
are not satisfied.
-2-
The parties agree to allocate the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities
among the Assets for all purposes (including financial accounting and tax
purposes) in accordance with the allocation set forth on SCHEDULE E(1), and
shall make all necessary filings (including those required under Internal
Revenue Code Section 1060) in accordance with that allocation.
5. CLOSING: TRANSFER OF TITLE AND ASSIGNMENT. The closing of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at the offices
of Van Meer & Xxxxxxxx, 00 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, or
at such other place as the parties may mutually agree, at 9:00 a.m. on the
date ten (10) days after the Buyer has obtained all Certificates of Need and
all other regulatory approvals necessary for consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby (or, if such date falls on a weekend or holiday, the
first business day thereafter) (such closing being called the "CLOSING" and
such date being called the "CLOSING DATE").
At the Closing, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer the following:
(a) Bills of Sale and Assignments transferring to Buyer all of the Assets,
together with certificates or other evidence of title to the Assets,
properly endorsed to Buyer; and
(b) Assignments and assumptions of contracts, leases, and agreements with
respect to each of Sellers' contracts, leases, and agreements among
the Assets; and
(c) Consents to assignment and assumption from each of the other parties
to such contracts, leases, and agreements, each of which consents
shall provide that Sellers are released from any further obligation
under any such contract, lease, or agreement; and
(d) Originals (or, where unavailable, attested copies) of each such
contract, lease, or agreement among the Assets; and
(e) Accurate interim financial statements for each of the Sellers for the

instruments at the Closing and other matters set forth therein; and
-3-
(i) Such other items as Buyer and its counsel may reasonably request.
At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers the following:

transfer, in the total amount of one million one hundred fifty six
thousand dollars ($1,156,000) less the MIC-NH Deposit;
(b) Buyer shall deliver to MIC-ME a cashiers or certified check, or wire
transfer, in the total amount of five million six hundred forty-four
thousand dollars ($5,644,000) less the MIC-ME Deposit.
6. DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW. Buyer shall have the right to review and
inspect the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities and to conduct, at Buyer's
sole cost and expense, such other due diligence as Buyer shall deem
appropriate. Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer by promptly providing
reasonable access to the Assets and all information and materials reasonably
requested by the Buyer in connection therewith and the Assumed Liabilities,
all of which shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement referenced
below. Such inspections shall be conducted by Buyer on business days during
normal business hours, unless otherwise agreed; provided, however, that in
order to minimize disruption of Sellers' business, Buyer shall have no
contact with any employee of either Seller (except senior management) without
the prior coordination of such contact through the respective Seller. Such
due diligence review shall be completed within fourteen (14) days after the
completion of the 1996 financial audit as set forth in Section 7, but in no
event before January 31, 1997 (assuming Sellers' cooperation as set forth
above) (the "DUE DILIGENCE TERMINATION DATE") and, notwithstanding any
disclosures set forth on SCHEDULE G, Buyer shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement by written notice to the Sellers on or before the Due
Diligence Termination Date if Buyer's due diligence reveals questions or
issues, in Buyer's sole discretion, as to the nature or worth of the Assets,
the nature or extent of the Assumed Liabilities, the viability of either of
the Seller's business, the collectability of the Sellers' accounts
receivable, or any other matter impacting the transactions contemplated
herein. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section
6, Buyer shall have no further liabilities or obligations to Sellers other
than as set forth herein and the MIC-NH Deposit and MIC-ME Deposit shall be
refunded to Buyer within ten (10) days. In the event that this Agreement is
terminated for any reason, the Buyer shall promptly return all such
information and materials to the respective Sellers and Buyer shall continue
to be bound by the terms of that certain July 26, 1996, Confidentiality
Agreement with respect to such information.
7. AUDIT STATEMENTS. Sellers shall cause to be conducted, at their
cost and expense (except as provided below in Section 23), a certified
financial audit of each of the Sellers for the fiscal years ended 1994, 1995,
and 1996. Such audits shall be completed as soon as reasonably possible.
Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) days
after the completion of such audits in the event such audits reveal any
material issues, in Buyer's sole discretion, as to the nature or worth of the
Assets, the nature or extent of the Assumed Liabilities, the viability of
either of the Seller's business, or any other matter impacting the transaction
-4-
contemplated herein. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
this Section 7, Buyer shall have no further liabilities or obligations to
Sellers other than as set forth herein and the MIC-NH Deposit and MIC-ME
Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer within ten (10) days. The Closing shall
be conditioned upon the completion of the audits for 1994, 1995 and 1996, and
delivery of such audits to Buyer at least fourteen (14) days before the
Closing Date.
8. ABANDONMENT DATE. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
if the Closing does not take place by the close of business on March 31, 1997
(the "ABANDONMENT DATE"), any party shall have the option to terminate this
Agreement on or within five (5) working days after the Abandonment Date;
provided, however, that if the Closing does not take place as a result solely
of any delay in obtaining any regulatory approval, the Abandonment Date
automatically shall be extended for an additional sixty (60) days; provided
further, however, that if such regulatory approval is not obtained within such
extended period, any party may terminate this Agreement. The foregoing shall
not be construed to terminate or otherwise affect any claims either party may
have against the other for breach of any obligation arising out of this
Agreement, or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith, prior
to the Abandonment Date. The parties will seek and use their reasonable
efforts to obtain all governmental and regulatory approvals for the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the
parties will cooperate with each other and their respective agents with
respect to obtaining such governmental and regulatory approvals.
9. CONSULTING AGREEMENT WITH XXXXXX X. XXXX AND XXXXXX X. XXXX
ASSOCIATES. Buyer shall offer to enter into a consulting agreement with Xxxxxx
X. Xxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxx Associates, substantially in form and substance as
attached hereto as SCHEDULE F, attached hereto and incorporated herein.
10. FURTHER ASSURANCES. From time to time after the Closing Date,
Sellers shall give to Buyer and its representatives, auditors, and counsel
full access during normal business hours to all of the properties, books,
records, tax returns, contracts, licenses, franchises and all of the documents
of Sellers relating to the Assets and Assumed Liabilities, and shall furnish
to Buyer all information with respect thereto as Buyer may from time to time
reasonably request. From time to time after the Closing, at Buyer's request
and without further consideration, Sellers agree to execute and deliver at
Sellers' expense such other instruments of conveyance and transfer and take
such other action as Buyer reasonably may require more effectively to deliver
and vest in Buyer, and to put Buyer in legal and physical possession of, all
of the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities.

and severally, represent and warrant to Buyer that except as set forth on the

(j) Sellers have not entered into any other contract for the sale of
any of the Assets, nor are there any rights of first refusal or

other rights set forth in Schedule H; and
-7-
(m) Subject to the required consents listed on Schedule G, neither the

(n) Sellers have paid or made appropriate accruals for the payment of
all taxes, assessments, fees, and other governmental charges upon
any of their properties and assets required to have been paid or
accrued by them as of the Closing Date (including, without
limitation, all income, withholding, excise, unemployment, social
security, occupation, franchise, property, and import taxes,
duties, or charges, and all deficiency assessments, penalties, and
interest in respect thereof) and Sellers shall pay all such amounts

compliance with all federal and state laws respecting employment
and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment, and
wage and hours including compliance with any Internal Revenue
Service guidelines on employees and independent contracts. Sellers

(r) The accounts receivable of Sellers included with the Current Assets
are good and collectable, and Sellers will be able to collect one
million dollars ($1,000,000) of such accounts receivable between
the Closing Date and the date ninety (90) days from the Closing
Date for deposit in the escrow account referenced in Section 16
herein.
(s) To the best knowledge of the Sellers, the Sellers and their
officers, directors, shareholders, partners, and employees, and
persons who provide professional services under agreements with the
Sellers, have not engaged in any activities which are prohibited
under federal Medicare and Medicaid statutes, 42 U.S.C. S 1320a-7b,
or the regulations promulgated pursuant to such statutes or related
state or local statutes or regulations or which are prohibited by
rules of professional conduct; and
(t) No representation or warranty by the Sellers in this Agreement, and
no exhibit, schedule, or certificate furnished or to be furnished
by the Sellers pursuant hereto contains any untrue statement of a
fact, or omits to state a fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements contained herein not misleading.
There is no fact of which the Sellers are aware which has not been
disclosed in writing to Buyer, which adversely affects Sellers, or
which they believe would adversely affect the businesses,
prospects, financial condition, operations, properties, or affairs
of Sellers.
12. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BUYER. Buyer represents and

granted a first lien security
-13-
interest in Seller's account receivables to the extent necessary to secure
Buyer's interest hereunder. The escrowed funds shall be deposited as security
to indemnify Buyer pursuant to the provisions of Section 17.
17. SELLERS' INDEMNITY. Sellers, jointly and severally, shall
indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its officers, directors, employees,

Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; or
(b) any event or circumstance involving the Assets or Sellers'
business which occurred prior to the Closing, with the exception of
the Assumed Liabilities; or

in connection with the Assets or Sellers' business with respect to any
period prior to the Closing; or
(d) the breach of any covenant, warranty, terms, condition or agreement of
the Sellers under this Agreement, or the material untruth or
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Sellers
herein, or in connection with the transactions provided for herein
(including, but not limited to, inaccurate, incomplete or misleading
financial statements).
18. LIABILITY AND RISK OF LOSS. Sellers shall remain liable for all
obligations and liabilities, costs and expenses, fixed or contingent, arising
out of the operation or ownership of any of the Assets and out of the conduct
of any business related to the Assets prior to the Closing, and shall remain
liable for all such obligations and liabilities not assumed by Buyer pursuant
to this Agreement following the Closing. All risk of loss of, and related
to, the Assets shall remain with Sellers through the Closing.
19. NON-COMPETITION. As additional consideration for Buyer's purchase
of the Assets and its assumption of the Assumed Liabilities pursuant to this
Agreement, Sellers shall deliver at Closing a Non-Competition Agreement in
the form of the attached Schedule L, executed by Sellers, their general and
limited partners, and each of their affiliated entities or individuals
specified thereon.
20. BROKERAGE COMMISSION. Sellers represent that they are responsible
for the commission, if any, owed to KPMG Peat Marwick with respect to the
transactions set forth in this Agreement. Buyer represents that it has
retained no broker in connection with this Agreement. If any claim on
behalf of any other broker or agent is made or upheld, then the party against
or through whom such claim is made shall defend, indemnify and hold the other
party harmless from and
-14-
against any damages, costs or expenses in any way attributable to such claim,
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees.

Agreement, such notice must be in writing and either hand-delivered or sent
by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed
to the parties at their respective addresses set forth in the preamble to

different address). A copy of any notice given to Buyer hereunder shall be
simultaneously provided to Xxxx X. Xxxxx, Esq., 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X.,
Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxxxxx, X.X. 00000. A copy of any notice given to Seller

22. SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. All warranties, representations, hold
harmless, indemnity and non-competition obligations and restrictions made,
undertaken, and agreed to by Sellers under this Agreement shall survive the
Closing and the execution and delivery of the documents and instruments
executed and delivered at the Closing; provided, however, that the
representations and warranties set forth in Sections 11 and 12 shall survive
only for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing.
23. DEFAULT. If either of the Sellers defaults in the performance of
any obligation under this Agreement or breaches any warranty, representation,
or covenant herein as of or prior to the Closing, then Buyer, at its sole
option, may (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event (a) the full amount
of the respective Deposits shall be returned to Buyer, (b) in the event such
breach or default is due to an event, occurrence, or other matter which is
within the reasonable control of either Seller, each Seller shall pay Buyer
an additional twelve thousand five hundred dollars ($12,500) as liquidated
damages, and not as a penalty, that being a reasonable estimate of damages
that would be occasioned by such default but which damages likely would be
difficult to ascertain with certainty, and (c) no party shall have any
further rights or duties hereunder, (ii) extend or delay the Closing for a
reasonable period of time, not to exceed forty-five (45) days, during which
Sellers shall make good faith efforts to address the default, or (iii) accept
title to or assignment of the Assets and consummate the transactions
contemplated herein without any diminution in the Purchase Price. If Buyer
defaults in the performance of its duties under this Agreement as of or prior
to the Closing, then Sellers shall, as their sole and exclusive remedy,
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer and (i) retain the
respective Deposits as reasonable liquidated damages, and not as a penalty,
that being a reasonable estimate of damages that would be occasioned by such
default but which damages likely would be difficult to ascertain with
certainty, and (ii) be entitled to be reimbursed by Buyer for the cost of the
audits conducted pursuant to Section 7, and no party shall have any further
rights or duties hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, there shall be no
such limitation of liability (i) for any acts which constitute gross
negligence or intentional misconduct or (ii) for any breach of any
representation, warranty, or covenant which occur or which are discovered
after the Closing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of
Sellers for breach by Buyer of that certain Confidentiality Agreement dated
July 26, 1996.
24. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
-15-
(a) This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties
relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, with the sole
exception of the Confidentiality Agreement dated July 26, 1996,
between Buyer and Sellers, which shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.

Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the
party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver,
amendment, discharge or change is sought.
(c) This Agreement shall not be assignable by any party without the prior
written consent of the others, except that Buyer may assign its
rights and obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part, and
from time to time, to any affiliate or affiliates of Buyer upon
written notice to Sellers, and such assignee shall be considered the
Buyer for purposes of this Agreement and all related documents. Except
as noted above, no other person or corporate entity shall acquire or
have any rights under or by virtue of this Agreement.
(d) If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement should be ruled

ruling shall be limited to the jurisdiction of the court or other
government body making the ruling; (c) the provision(s) held wholly or
partly invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended, and the court
or other government body is authorized to reform the provision(s), to
the minimum extent necessary to render them valid and enforceable in
conformity with the parties' intent as manifested herein and a
provision having a similar economic effect shall be substituted;
and (d) if the ruling and/or the controlling principle of law or
equity leading to the ruling, is subsequently overruled, modified, or
amended by legislative, judicial, or administrative action, the
provision(s) in question as originally set forth in this Agreement
shall be deemed valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted

constitute one and the same agreement.

this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach of such provision or any other provision of this
Agreement.
(k) In the event that any dispute between the parties arises out of this
Agreement, the parties shall meet and confer in good faith to resolve
such dispute. In the event such efforts do not resolve the dispute
within fifteen (15) days from the date the dispute arises, the parties
agree first to try in good faith to settle the dispute by mediation
administered by the American Arbitration Association under its
Commercial Mediation Rules before resorting to arbitration. If such
mediation does not resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days, the
dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the
American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration
Rules, such arbitration to be final, conclusive, and binding, and
judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction thereof. This provision shall survive
termination of this Agreement.
