standing as a foreign corporation authorized to do business in all jurisdictions

of any kind, subject to restrictions on transfer under federal and state
securities laws, this Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement and the Company's
Articles of Incorporation.

state and federal securities laws or the Company's Articles of Incorporation
(other than those contained in the Investor Rights Agreement); (d) no Person has
any right to cause the Company to effect the registration under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), of any shares of capital stock or any

commitment, that it is performed in accordance with its terms by all parties
thereto) of having a Material Adverse Effect.
2.7.2. OTHER AGREEMENTS OF OFFICERS, ETC. To the best
of the Company's knowledge, no officer or Key Employee of the Company is a party

ARTICLE 3
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INVESTOR
In order to induce the Company and the Principal Shareholder to enter
into this Agreement, the Investor represents and warrants to the Company and the
Principal Shareholder that:
SECTION 3.1. VALIDITY. This Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement,
the Registration Rights Agreement, the Stock Purchase Warrant and all other
documents and instruments executed by the Investor pursuant hereto, have each
been duly executed and delivered by the Investor and each is a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in
accordance with its terms. All consents, approvals or authorizations of any
Person, and all qualifications, designations, declarations or filings with any
governmental authority, on the part of the Investor required as a condition
precedent to the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Investor
Rights Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Stock Purchase
Warrant shall have been obtained or completed by the Investor prior to, and be
effective as of, the Closing.
SECTION 3.2. INVESTMENT INTENT. The Investor is acquiring the Purchased
Shares and the Stock Purchase Warrant for its own account, for investment, and
not with a view to any "distribution" thereof within the meaning of the 1933 Act
nor with any present intention of distributing or selling the same, or the
shares obtained upon conversion or exercise thereof, as the case may be; and,
except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement and the Stock Purchase Warrant and all the
documents and instruments executed by the Investor pursuant hereto, the Investor
has no present or contemplated agreement, undertaking, arrangement, obligation,
indebtedness or commitment providing for the disposition thereof. The officers
of the Company have made available to the Investor any and all written
information which it has requested and have answered to the Investor's
satisfaction, all inquiries made by the Investor; the Investor has adequate net
worth and means of providing for its current needs and contingencies and to
sustain a complete loss of its investment in the Company. Nothing contained in
this Section 3.2 shall be construed as a waiver of any rights the Investor may
have under this Agreement or otherwise.
SECTION 3.3. RESALE RESTRICTIONS. The Investor understands that because
the Purchased Shares, the Stock Purchase Warrant, the shares of Common Stock
underlying the Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Warrant Stock"), and the shares
receivable upon conversion of the Purchased Shares (the "Conversion Stock") have
not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws,
it cannot dispose of any or all of the Purchased Shares, the Stock Purchase
Warrant, Warrant Stock, or Conversion Stock unless the Purchased Shares, the
Stock Purchase Warrant, the Warrant Stock, or Conversion Stock are subsequently
registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws or exemptions
from such registration are available. The Investor acknowledges and understands
that, except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, it has no
independent right to require the Company to register the Purchased Shares, the
13
Stock Purchase Warrant, Warrant Stock, or the Conversion Stock under the 1933
Act or any state securities law. The Investor understands that the Company may,
as a condition to the transfer of any of the Purchased Shares, the Stock
Purchase Warrant, Warrant Stock, or the Conversion Stock require that the
request for transfer be accompanied by opinion of counsel the identity of which
is deemed reasonably acceptable to the Company, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transfer does not
result in violation of the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, unless
such transfer is covered by an effective registration statement under the 1933
Act and applicable state securities laws. The Investor understands that each
Warrant certificate representing the Warrant Shares and the Purchased Shares
will bear both of the following legends or ones substantially similar thereto
and that each certificate representing the Warrant Stock and the Conversion
Stock will bear the first of the following legends:
These securities have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 or under any
state securities laws. These securities have
been acquired for investment and not with a
view to distribution or resale, and may not
be sold, mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise transferred without an effective
registration statement for such shares under
the Securities Act of 1933 and any applicable
state securities act(s), or an opinion of
counsel for the corporation that registration
is not required under such acts.
The securities represented by this
certificate are subject to the terms and
conditions of an Investor Rights Agreement
dated as of June 30, 1999. A copy of such
agreement is on file at the principal
executive offices of Triangle Imaging Group,
Inc., which will furnish copies of such
agreement to the holder of this certificate
upon request and without charge.
SECTION 3.4. DILIGENCE. The Investor has carefully reviewed the
representations concerning the Company contained in this Agreement and all
scheduled exceptions thereto, has read the Business Plan, has made detailed
inquiry concerning the Company, its business and its personnel, including all of
the securities filings the Company has publicly filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in 1998 and 1999, and is knowledgeable and experienced in
the making of venture capital investments, is able to bear the economic risk of
loss of its investment in the Company, has been granted the opportunity to make
a thorough investigation of the affairs of the Company, and has availed itself
of such opportunity to the extent it has deemed necessary, either directly or
through its authorized representative.

SECTION 3.5. RELIANCE. The Investor has been advised that the Purchased
Shares delivered hereunder have not been and are not being registered under the

and will rely upon, among other things, the representations and warranties of
the Investor contained in this Section 3 in concluding that each such issuance
is a "private offering" and does not require compliance with the registration

INDEMNIFICATION

person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Article 6,

whom such indemnity may be sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing. No
indemnification provided for in Section 6.1 or 6.2 shall be available to any
party who shall fail to give notice as provided in this Section 6.3, but the

to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such
proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party
and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel
would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between
them. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with such consent
or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees
