ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

       On May 30, 1997, InSight Health Services Corp. ("Registrant"), through 
its wholly owned subsidiary InSight Health Corp. ("InSight"), consummated the 
acquisition ("Acquisition") of certain assets of Mobile Imaging Consortium, 
Limited Partnership, a Maine limited partnership ("MIC-ME") and Mobile 
Imaging Consortium - New Hampshire, a Maine general partnership ("MIC-NH") 
(collectively, "Sellers") pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Liabilities 
Assumption Agreement dated January 3, 1997 by and among Insight, MIC-ME and 
MIC-NH, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated May 30, 1997. Pursuant 
to the Asset Purchase and Liabilities Assumption Agreement and Amendment No. 
1 thereto (collectively, "Purchase Agreement") InSight acquired certain 
tangible and intangible assets, including mobile diagnostic imaging equipment 
used by Sellers in providing diagnostic imaging services to customers in the 
Northeastern United States. In addition, InSight assumed certain liabilities 
of Sellers, consisting primarily of leases relating to mobile imagine 
equipment and tractors and a lease for certain office space in Portland, 
Maine.

        The aggregate purchase price of the Acquisition was $7,650,000 and 
was determined by negotiations among the parties. As a material part of the 
Acquisition, Sellers and their affiliates entered into a noncompetition 
agreement with InSight pursuant to which neither Sellers nor their affiliates 
will hold an ownership (direct or indirect) position in, invest in, lease or 
operate (i) for five years after closing any magnetic resonance imaging 
services and (ii) for three years after closing any computed tomography 
imaging services, which would operate in Maine or New Hampshire or in any 
other area in which Sellers and their affiliates would be deemed to be in 
competition with InSight. General Electric, acting through GE Medical, loaned 
InSight $6,800,000 of the purchase price which was paid to Sellers at the 
closing of the Acquisition. The balance of the purchase price is being paid 
to MIC-ME over a twelve-month period as InSight collects the MIC-ME accounts 
receivable which were included in the Acquisition. The $6,800,000 loan bears 
interest at 10.5% per annum and is repayable on a fully amortized basis by 
InSight over seven years, commencing on July 1, 1997.

        Sellers were MIC-ME, a limited partnership comprised of eight 
individuals as limited partners and four corporate entities as general 
partners and MIC-NH, a general partnership comprised of five corporate 
entities as general partners.

      InSight provides diagnostic imaging and information, treatment and 
related management services to managed care, hospital and other contractual 
customers in 28 United States, including five major U.S. markets: California, 
the Southwest, including a major presence in Texas, the Midwest, the 
Northeast and the Southeast. The Acquisition adds three mobile imaging 
networks to InSight's existing operations in the Northeast.

                                   AGREEMENT

     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 59 Middle Street, Portland, Maine 04101 ("MIC-ME"), and 
Mobile Imaging Consortium-New Hampshire, a Maine general partnership with an 
address of 59 Middle Street, Portland, Maine 04101 ("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 4400 
MacArthur Boulevard, Suite 800, Newport Beach, California 92660 ("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

<PAGE>

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-
<PAGE>

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 & Belanger, 25 Long Creek Drive, South Portland, Maine 04106, 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
          month ended most recently prior to the Closing; and

     (f)  Final accounting of the Current Assets as of the Closing; and

     (g)  Statement of prorations as of the Closing of taxes, rents, lease 
          payments, and other charges; and

     (h)  Opinion of Counsel to Sellers regarding the due organization and 
          existence of Sellers, the authority of Sellers to conclude the
          transactions provided for herein and the due execution of the 
          instruments at the Closing and other matters set forth therein; and 

                                       -3-
<PAGE>

     (i)  Such other items as Buyer and its counsel may reasonably request.

     At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers the following:

     (a)  Buyer shall deliver to MIC-NH a cashiers or certified check, or wire 
          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 JOSEPH J. BEAN AND JOSEPH J. BEAN 
ASSOCIATES. Buyer shall offer to enter into a consulting agreement with Joseph 
J. Bean and Joseph J. Bean 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.

     11.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLERS.  The Sellers, jointly 
and severally, represent and warrant to Buyer that except as set forth on the 
Disclosure Schedule attached as Schedule G, attached hereto and incorporated 
herein (which Disclosure Schedule makes explicit reference to the particular 
representation or warranty as to which exception is taken, which in each case 
shall constitute the sole representation and warranty as to which such 
exception shall apply):

     (a)  The Assets as currently used and in effect do not violate any 
          applicable federal, state, local, or other governmental law, 
          ordinance, or regulation, or any applicable private restriction or 
          agreement material to the operation of

                                       -5-

<PAGE>

          Sellers' business, and Sellers are not aware of any such violations 
          that are material to the Sellers' business; and

     (b)  Subject to the required consents listed on Schedule G, the 
          conveyance and/or assignment of the Assets to Buyer will not 
          violate any applicable federal, state, local or other governmental 
          law, ordinance or regulation, or any applicable private restriction 
          or agreement to which Sellers are bound; and

     (c)  Each of MIC-ME and MIC-NH is a validly formed and legally existing 
          partnership.  The Sellers have the full right, power, and authority 
          to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform their 
          respective obligations hereunder, and to carry out the transactions 
          contemplated in this Agreement, except as may be limited by 
          bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other 
          similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally. Without 
          limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers' general 
          partners and limited partners have taken all action necessary to 
          authorize, and have duly authorized, the execution, delivery, and 
          performance of this Agreement by the Sellers.  This Agreement 
          constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the 
          Sellers, enforceable in accordance with these terms and conditions; 
          and

     (d)  Except as set forth on Schedule G, there is no action, litigation, 
          investigation, condemnation, or proceeding of any kind pending or, 
          to the best of Sellers' knowledge and belief, threatened against 
          Sellers or any of the Assets; and

     (e)  Sellers have not received notice of actual or threatened 
          cancellation or suspension of any Certificate of Need or other 
          permit or license issued with respect to any of the Assets; and

     (f)  To the best of Sellers' knowledge and belief, no actions have been 
          taken by Sellers or by any other person or entity which could give 
          rise to:

               (i)  any adverse action regarding the Assets or
                    the operations conducted with such Assets, or 

               (ii) any charge of non-compliance with any
                    applicable federal or state law, rule, ordinance, or 
                    regulations; and

     (g)  Subject to the required consents listed in Schedule G, Sellers have 
          good, clear, unencumbered, and marketable title to the Assets, free 
          and clear of all liens, and such title, rights, and interests are 
          freely transferable; and

     (h)  The Assets are fully and adequately insured by policies of 
          insurance for fire and extended coverage risks and liability; and 


                                     -6-

<PAGE>

     (i)  Sellers have delivered or will promptly deliver to Buyer true and 
          correct copies of each of the contracts, leases, and agreements 
          included among the Assets, and all amendments and modifications 
          thereto, and each of such contracts, leases, and agreements is in 
          full force and effect, without any default by any party thereto; and

     (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 
          options to purchase any of the Assets or any other rights of 
          otherwise that might prevent the consummation of the transactions 
          provided for in this Agreement; and

     (k)  The fair value of Sellers' assets substantially exceeds, and 
          following the consummation of the purchase and assumption 
          transactions provided for herein, shall substantially exceed 
          Sellers' liabilities, and the transactions provided for herein 
          shall not render either Seller insolvent; and

     (l)  Set forth in Schedule H is a list and brief description of all 
          patents, patent rights, patent applications, trademarks, trademark 
          applications, service marks, service mark applications, trade 
          names, and copyrights, and all applications for such, which are in 
          the process of being prepared, are owned by, or are registered in 
          the name of the Sellers or of which the Sellers are licensor or 
          licensee, or in which the Sellers have any right, and in each case 
          a brief description of the nature of such right.  To the best of 
          Seller's knowledge,  the Sellers own or possess adequate licenses 
          or other rights to use all patents, patent applications, 
          trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, service mark 
          applications, trade names, copyrights, manufacturing processes, 
          formulae, trade secrets, and know how (collectively, "INTELLECTUAL 
          PROPERTY") necessary or desirable to the conduct of their 
          businesses as conducted and as proposed to be conducted.  No claim 
          is pending or threatened to the effect that the operations of the 
          Sellers infringe upon or conflict with the asserted rights of any 
          other person under any Intellectual Property, and there is no basis 
          for any such claim (whether or not pending or threatened).  No 
          claim is pending or threatened to the effect that any such 
          Intellectual Property owned or licensed by the Sellers or which the 
          Sellers otherwise have the right to sue, is invalid or 
          unenforceable by the Sellers, and there is no known basis for any 
          such claim (whether or not pending or threatened).  The Sellers 
          have not granted or assigned to any other person or entity any 
          right to sell or produce the products or proposed products or 
          provide the services or proposed services of the Sellers.  No 
          officer, director, shareholder, partner, or employee of the Sellers 
          has an ownership interest in any of the trademarks, patents, or 
          other rights set forth in Schedule H; and


                                     -7-

<PAGE>

     (m)  Subject to the required consents listed on Schedule G, neither the 
          execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of 
          the transactions herein contemplated, nor fulfillment of or 
          compliance with the terms and provisions hereof does or will: (i) 
          constitute a default, breach, violation, or grounds for termination 
          of any material agreement to which Sellers or any physician 
          providing services as an independent contractor or employee of 
          Sellers (hereinafter referred to as "Physician") is a party, or any 
          material license, permit, or other governmental authorization 
          issued to Sellers or (ii) result in the creation or imposition of 
          any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any of the Assets; and

     (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 
          on or before the appropriate due date; and

     (o)  Sellers do not know of any material adverse condition or material 
          problem with any item of tangible property included in the Assets 
          and all such tangible property included in the Assets is in good 
          working condition; and

     (p)  Except as disclosed in the Schedules hereto, there are no written 
          or verbal employment agreements, commitments or understandings, and 
          all personnel are employed "at-will"; and

     (q)  The employee relations of Sellers are good.  There is no pending 
          or, to the best of Sellers' knowledge, threatened employee strike, 
          work stoppage or labor dispute.  No union representation question 
          exists respecting any employees of Sellers.  No collective 
          bargaining agreement exists or is currently being negotiated by 
          Sellers, no demand has been made for recognition by a labor 
          organization by or with respect to any employees of Sellers is 
          taking place, and none of the employees of Sellers is represented 
          by any labor union or organization.  There is no unfair practice 
          claim against Sellers before the National Labor Relations Board, or 
          any strike, dispute, slowdown, or stoppage pending or threatened 
          against or involving Sellers and none has occurred.  Sellers are in 
          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 
          have complied with all requirements with respect to the employment 
          of any person who is not a citizen of the United States. Sellers 
          are not engaged in

                                     -8-

<PAGE>


          any unfair labor practices (as defined in federal and state labor 
          laws).  There are no pending or threatened equal employment 
          opportunity claims, wage and hour claims, unemployment compensation 
          claims, or workers' compensation claims against or involving 
          Sellers; and

     (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 
warrants to the Sellers that, except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule 
attached as Schedule I attached hereto and incorporated herein (which 
Disclosure Schedule makes explicit reference to the particular representation 
or warranty as to which exception is taken, which in each case shall 
constitute the sole representation and warranty as to which such exception 
shall apply):

     (a)  Buyer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good 
          standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Buyer is 
          qualified to do business and is in good standing in both the State 
          of Maine and the State of New Hampshire.  Buyer has the full right, 
          power, and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to 
          perform its obligations hereunder, and to carry out the 
          transactions contemplated in this Agreement, except as may be 
          limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or 
          other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally. Without 
          limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Buyer has taken all 
          action necessary to authorize, and has duly authorized, the 
          execution, delivery, and performance



                                     -9-



<PAGE>

          of this Agreement by Buyer.  This Agreement constitutes the valid 
          and legally binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable in accordance 
          with these terms and conditions; and

     (b)  The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the 
          consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, 
          violate any provisions of Buyer's Restated Certificate of 
          Incorporation or Restated Bylaws, or any judgment, decree, 
          mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement, indenture or other 
          instrument, law or regulation applicable to Buyer.

     13.  SELLERS' COVENANTS.  The Sellers covenant to Buyer:

     (a)  Sellers shall operate and manage their businesses until the Closing 
          in substantially the same manner as such businesses have been 
          operated and managed by Sellers in the past and shall maintain the 
          physical condition of the Assets, reasonable wear and tear 
          excepted, and substantially maintain the status of the Assets until 
          the Closing; and

     (b)  Apart from sales of inventory in the ordinary course, Sellers shall 
          not knowingly sell, assign, or create any right, title, or interest 
          whatsoever in or to the Assets or create, or permit to exist, any 
          lien, encumbrance, or charge thereon, without promptly discharging 
          same; and

     (c)  Sellers shall advise Buyer promptly upon notification to Sellers of 
          any pending or threatened litigation or other legal or regulatory 
          action affecting the Assets, the Sellers, or Sellers' businesses; 
          and

     (d)  Sellers shall not knowingly take any action or omit to take any 
          action, which action or omission would have the effect of violating 
          any of the covenants of this Agreement or warranties or 
          representations of Sellers under this Agreement; and

     (e)  Sellers shall not execute any new contracts, leases, or agreements, 
          renew, extend, amend, modify, assign, or pledge any existing 
          contracts, leases, and agreements, or assign or pledge any amounts 
          payable thereunder, without the express prior written consent of 
          the Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld); and 

     (f)  Sellers shall provide to Buyer a list of the employees and 
          independent contractors who currently provide services incident to 
          the Assets and their current pay and benefits; and


                                     -10-

<PAGE>

     (g)  Sellers shall cause all policies of insurance for fire and extended 
          coverage risks and liability in effect on the date of this 
          Agreement to be maintained in full force and effect through and 
          including the Closing Date; and

     (h)  Sellers shall take all steps necessary for them to obtain all 
          required consents of third parties to the assignment and assumption 
          of the contracts, leases, and agreements included among the Assets; 
          and

     (i)  Sellers shall obtain and/or cooperate with Buyer taking all steps 
          necessary for it to obtain all required consents and approvals to 
          the Buyer's assumption of the Assumed Liabilities pursuant to this 
          Agreement; and

     (j)  Sellers shall cooperate in Buyer's efforts to obtain the issuance 
          of Maine and New Hampshire Certificates of Need and other necessary 
          regulatory approvals; and 

     (k)  Sellers shall not publicly disclose the terms or existence of this 
          Agreement, nor of any of the transactions provided for herein, 
          except that Sellers may disclose the fact of Buyer's agreement to 
          acquire the assets of Sellers to Sellers' employees as reasonably 
          necessary to facilitate the transaction, to governmental agencies 
          as necessary to obtain all regulatory approvals, and to third 
          parties as necessary to transfer the Assets or assign the contracts 
          contemplated by this Agreement; and

     (l)  Sellers shall not negotiate with any other party for the sale of 
          the Assets and Sellers shall notify Buyer of the fact of any 
          unsolicited offer to purchase the Assets and the identify of the 
          offeror; and

     (m)  Sellers shall cooperate in good faith with Buyer in addressing 
          other matters necessary to consummate the transaction; and

     (n)  Between the Due Diligence Termination Date and the Closing Date, 
          (i) no material adverse change in the results of operations, 
          financial condition, or business of Sellers, and no material loss 
          or damage to the Assets (whether or not covered by insurance), 
          shall have occurred; (ii) no material decline from the level of 
          revenues or prospects for future results shall have occurred; and
          (iii) no event shall have occurred which shall materially adversely 
          affect the collectability of the accounts receivable included in 
          the Current Assets.

     14.  BUYER'S COVENANTS.  Buyer covenants to Seller:
          
     (a)  Buyer shall cooperate in Sellers' taking all steps necessary for 
          them to obtain all required consents of third parties to assignment 
          and assumption of the contracts, leases, and agreements included 
          among the Assets; and


                                     -11-

<PAGE>

     (b)  Buyer shall obtain and/or cooperate in Sellers' taking all steps 
          necessary for them to obtain all required consents and approvals to 
          Buyer's assumption of the Assumed Liabilities pursuant to this 
          Agreement, including, but not limited to, providing financial data 
          which may be reasonably required by such third party; and

     (c)  Buyer shall take all steps necessary for it to obtain all required 
          consents and approvals to the issuance of Maine and New Hampshire 
          Certificates of Need or other necessary regulatory approvals; and

          Agreement, nor of any of the transactions provided for herein, 
          EXCEPT that Buyer may disclose the fact of Buyer's agreement to

Closing Date, and consummate any other transaction contemplated by this 
Agreement, is, at its option, subject to the satisfaction, on or before the 
Closing Date, of the following conditions:

          creditor.

     (e)  All corporate and other proceedings to be taken by the Sellers in 
          connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and all 
          documents incident thereto shall be satisfactory in form and 
          substance to Buyer and its counsel, and Buyer and its counsel shall 
          have received all such counterpart originals or certified or other 
          copies of such documents as they reasonably may request.

     (f)  Between the Due Diligence Termination Date and the Closing Date, 
          (i) no material adverse change in the results of operations, 
          financial condition of business of Sellers, and no material loss or 
          damage to the Assets (whether or not covered by insurance), shall 
          have occurred; (ii) no material decline from the level of revenues 
          or prospects for future results shall have occurred; and (iii) no

     16.  ESCROW AGREEMENT AND COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. At the 
Closing, the parties will enter into the escrow agreement substantially in 
the form attached hereto and incorporated herein as EXHIBIT K.  Sellers agree 
that they shall use best efforts to collect the accounts receivable included 
in the Current Assets and deposit the funds received from such accounts 
receivable, without any effect or deduction (including expenses) in the 
escrow account, up to a maximum of one million dollars ($1,000,000).  In the 
event that either of the Sellers fail to take all steps necessary to collect 
the accounts receivable referenced herein, Buyer, as agent of Sellers, shall 
have the right to take all steps necessary to collect such accounts 
receivable for deposit into the escrow account as contemplated by this 
Section.  In the alternative, the parties may enter into an agreement as of 
the Closing Date whereby Buyer shall assume responsibility for collecting the 
accounts receivable included within the Current Assets.  Buyer shall be 
granted a first lien security

                                     -13-





<PAGE>

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, 
agents, successors and assigns, from and against any and all claims, damages, 
liabilities, costs, and expenses arising out of any of the following:

     (a)  any obligation or liability of Sellers not assumed by
          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 

     (c)  any federal, state or local tax or fee incurred, accrued, or assessed
          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-
<PAGE>

against any damages, costs or expenses in any way attributable to such claim, 
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees.

     21.  NOTICE.  Whenever notice must be given under the provisions of this 
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 
this Agreement (until either party notifies the other in writing of a 
different address). A copy of any notice given to Buyer hereunder shall be 
simultaneously provided to Paul L. Uhrig, Esq., 2600 Virginia Avenue, N.W., 
Suite 1111, Washington, D.C. 20037.  A copy of any notice given to Seller 
hereunder shall be simultaneously provided to Richard N. Bryant, Esq., Van 
Meer & Belanger, P.A., 25 Long Creek Drive, South Portland, Maine 04106.

     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-
<PAGE>

     (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.

     (b)  No modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change of this
          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
          wholly or partly invalid or unenforceable by a court or other
          government body of competent jurisdiction, then: (a) the validity
          and enforceability of all provisions of this Agreement not ruled to be
          invalid or unenforceable shall be unaffected; (b) the effect of the
          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
          by the new controlling principle of law or equity.

     (e)  The interpretation of this Agreement and the rights and obligations of
          Buyer and Sellers hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State
          of Maine, without regard to choice of law provisions.

     (f)  The provisions, covenants and agreements herein contained shall inure
          to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and their
          respective legal representatives, successors and assigns.

     (g)  All headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes
          only and are not intended to affect in any way the meaning or
          interpretation of this Agreement.

     (h)  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
          which shall be deemed an original, but all of which collectively shall
          constitute one and the same agreement.

     (i)  Except as otherwise provided herein, each of the parties shall bear
          its own expenses in connection with this Agreement.

     (j)  The waiver by any party of a breach or violation of any provision of
          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.
