ARTICLE II
EFFECT OF MERGER
2.1 EFFECT ON CAPITAL STOCK.
-----------------------
(a) The manner and basis of converting, exchanging or canceling the
shares of capital stock of each of the Constituent Corporations into or for cash
(or the contingent right to receive cash) or securities of the Surviving
Corporation shall be as follows:
(i) each share of common stock, $.01 par value, of Newco issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into
one share of common stock, $.01 par value, of the Surviving Corporation;
(ii) each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time and owned directly or indirectly by the Company (whether as
treasury stock or
3
otherwise) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the
part of the holder thereof, be canceled and no consideration shall be
delivered in exchange therefor;
(iii) Each Merger Share shall, by virtue of the Merger and without
any action on the part of the Stockholders thereof, cease to be outstanding
and be converted into the right to receive, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, an amount in cash equal to the Merger
Consideration; and
(iv) each authorized but unissued share of Company Common Stock
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled.
2.2 DELIVERY OF FUNDS; SURRENDER OF CERTIFICATES.
--------------------------------------------
(a) At the Effective Time Newco shall deposit with the Transfer Agent
for the benefit of the holders of the Merger Shares, for payment in accordance
with this Article II, the funds necessary to pay the Merger Consideration for
each Merger Share.
(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time of the Merger, each
holder of an outstanding certificate or certificates which prior thereto
represented Merger Shares, upon surrender to the Transfer Agent of such
certificate or certificates (together with a letter of transmittal signed by
such holder which is reasonably satisfactory to Newco and which shall include
customary representations and warranties as to title to such Merger Shares) and
acceptance thereof by the Company, shall be entitled to the amount of cash into
which the number of Merger Shares previously represented by such certificate or
certificates surrendered shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement.
The Transfer Agent shall accept such certificates and such letter of transmittal
upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Transfer Agent
may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal
practices. After the Effective Time of the Merger, there shall be no further
transfer on the records of the Company or its transfer agent of certificates
representing Merger Shares which have been converted, in whole or in part,
pursuant to this Agreement, into the right to receive cash, and if such
certificates are presented to the Company for transfer, they shall be canceled
against delivery of such cash. If cash is to be remitted to a name other than
that in which the certificate for Merger Shares surrendered for exchange is
registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the certificate so
surrendered shall be properly endorsed, with signature guaranteed or otherwise
in proper form for transfer. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section
2.2(b), each certificate for Merger Shares shall be deemed at any time after the
Effective Time of the Merger to represent only the right to receive upon such
surrender the Merger Consideration for each Merger Share.
(c) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Shares with a
record date after the Effective Time of the Merger shall be paid to the holder
of any certificate for Shares not surrendered with respect to the Shares
represented thereby.
(d) All cash paid upon the surrender for exchange of certificates
representing Merger Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall
be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the
Merger Shares exchanged for cash theretofore represented by such certificates.
4
(e) Any cash deposited with the Transfer Agent pursuant to this Section
2.2 (the "Exchange Fund") which remains undistributed to the holders of the
-------------
certificates representing Merger Shares 360 days after the Effective Time of the
Merger shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation at such time and any
holders of Shares prior to the Merger who have not theretofore complied with
this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation and only
as general unsecured creditors thereof for payment of their claim for cash.
(f) Neither Newco nor the Company shall be liable to any person in
respect of any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public office pursuant
to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any
certificates representing Merger Shares shall not have been surrendered prior to
one year after the Effective Time of the Merger (or immediately prior to such
earlier date on which any cash in respect of such certificate would otherwise
escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any such cash in
respect of such certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims
or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(a) Schedule 3.6(a) attached hereto contains true, correct and
---------------
complete copies of the following:
(i) the audited consolidated balance sheets of the Company
as of December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 (each an "Audited Balance Sheet
---------------------
Date"), and the related audited consolidated statements of operations,
----
Stockholders' equity and cash flows of the Company for the fiscal years
then ended, including the footnotes thereto, as audited by (and together
with the report of their audit) Price Waterhouse, LLP (all of foregoing
being hereinafter collectively called the "Audited Financial Statements");
----------------------------
and
(ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the
Company as of November 30, 1997 (the "Latest Balance Sheet"; and such date

-------------------------
statements of operations of the Company for the period then ended,
including any footnotes thereto, if any (all of the foregoing, including

Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any Liabilities or obligations of any
nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) required by GAAP to

Company has no reason to believe that with respect to its long-lived assets and
intangible assets which are subject to Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,

7
future cash flows related to such assets did not exceed the carrying values

letters of credit and similar instruments, obligations incurred, issued or
assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services (other than
accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with

such indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured)
any Lien on property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, capital lease
obligations, and obligations in respect of guarantees of any of the foregoing or
any "keep well" or other agreement to maintain any financial statement condition
of another person, in each case, whether or not matured, liquidated, fixed,
contingent, or disputed.

---------------
fixed asset schedule that includes a general description of each MRI Unit, CT
Unit, LI Unit, BR Unit and PR Unit (including type, purchase price (to the
